7
1st (7) Ghostwriter (10/3 +26%)
Ghostwriter

3.333333
10/3(+26%)
(7) Ghostwriter 10/3, Invincible Spirit colt who landed a newcomers event with authority on the July Course and maintained his unbeaten record with a useful effort in a 7f a novice at Ascot (7f, firm) 3 weeks ago, staying on well. That performance is backed up by an excellent timefigure and he'll go on improving.
Promising colt who is two from two; clocked a good time at Ascot latest; very appealing.
2
2nd (2) Al Musmak (7/1 -17%)
Al Musmak

7
7/1(-17%)
(2) Al Musmak 7/1, Did well to catch an experienced rival to make a successful start at Ascot in July and built on that promise when second in a listed event there (7f) next time. That form worked out well and he resumed winning ways in ready fashion in Haydock listed event (8.2f) 3 weeks ago. Open to more progress.
Tidily beat Macduff in Listed event at Haydock last time; one of the main players.
4
3rd (4) Capulet (7/4 +13%)
Capulet

1.75
7/4(+13%)
(4) Capulet 7/4, Bred in the purple and built appreciably on last month's promising debut success when runner-up to exciting stablemate Diego Velazquez in Champions Juvenile Stakes at Leopardstown 3 weeks ago, clear of rest. Sets the standard on that form and open to further progress.
Ballydoyle colt who brings Group 2 form and should have more to offer; strong claims.
8
4th (8) Macduff (12/1 +25%)
Macduff

12
12/1(+25%)
(8) Macduff 12/1, Sea The Stars colt who overcame inexperience to make a winning start in a 7f maiden on the July Course last month, quickening to lead close home. Built on that when second to Al Musmak in listed race at Haydock (8.2f) and he's likely to progress further.
Beaten by Al Musmak at Haydock but ran well on the figures and may do better still.
9
5th (9) Son (33/1 +34%)
Son

33
33/1(+34%)
(9) Son 33/1, Built on encouraging debut effort when taking 10-runner maiden at Newbury in June (6.5f) with a bit in hand. Has had his limitations exposed in stronger company since, however.
Has useful form but his limitations are somewhat exposed now.
6
6th (6) Defiance (33/1 -136%)
Defiance

33
33/1(-136%)
(6) Defiance 33/1, Camelot colt who was value for extra over the result when making a successful debut in 9-runner maiden at Sandown (1m, good to soft) last month, doing well to run down the reopposing Caviar Heights having been squeezed at the start. Sure to improve and looks a very interesting runner.
Needed every yard of the trip at Sandown and may be tapped for toe kept to 1m.
3
7th (3) At Vimeiro (33/1 -50%)
At Vimeiro

33
33/1(-50%)
(3) At Vimeiro 33/1, Sea The Stars colt. Dam, German 1¼m-1½m (Group 2) winner, half-sister to smart German 9f/1¼m winner Accon, third in Deutsches Derby. Caught the eye doing his best work late on in a 1m Doncaster maiden on debut 2 weeks ago but this represents a big step up.
Showed promise at Doncaster two weeks ago but this is a stiff task on second start.
1
8th (1) Aablan (4/1 +0%)
Aablan

4
4/1(+0%)
(1) Aablan 4/1, Dubawi colt who was sent off at 4-7 when making a winning debut on the July Course and improved on that form when following up in the Solario Stakes at Sandown 4 weeks ago, despite still showing signs of inexperience.
Only workmanlike in winning both starts (latest the Solario) but should progress further.
5
9th (5) Caviar Heights (14/1 +13%)
Caviar Heights

14
14/1(+13%)
(5) Caviar Heights 14/1, Sea The Stars colt from excellent family and looks useful himself, putting experience to good use to get off the mark in 9-runner maiden at Goodwood (1m) 25 days ago. This demands a lot more but he's very much the type to get even better with age.
Gamely made all at Goodwood on latest maiden start; this is a harder task.
LTO Selection:

13:50 Newmarket Group 2 (Class 1) 8f Race Class Flow

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

A quality renewal with several of these holding Group 1 aspirations in the near future. Capulet was only narrowly beaten by a highly-touted stablemate in Group 2 company at Leopardstown last time and has strong claims once again with the promise of more to come. However, slight preference is for AABLAN, who shapes like this step up to a mile will really suit. The son of Dubawi has looked very professional in winning both his starts so far and he can take this on route to bigger things. The unbeaten Ghostwriter has also been impressive in his two outings to date and the son of Invincible Spirit is no back number.

A mouth-watering renewal of this long-established Group 2. CAPULET stepped up considerably on last month's promising debut win when finding only exciting stablemate Diego Velazquez too good in the Champions Juvenile Stakes at Leopardstown and has to be considered the one to beat on that form, especially with further progress on the cards. Ghostwriter defied a penalty in an excellent time at Ascot and is well worth his place in this higher grade, while Defiance is another fascinating contender.

The time ratings hand the percentage call to GHOSTWRITER. Capulet is second choice ahead of Aablan and Al Musmak.

1st (7) Porta Fortuna (9/2 +40%)
Porta Fortuna

4.5
9/2(+40%)
(7) Porta Fortuna 9/2, Caravaggio filly who completed a hat-trick in Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot (6f) in June. Good second in Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh after but only fair third in Moyglare Stud there last time. Still merits consideration.
Looked good in the Albany and slower ground perhaps not ideal in subsequent Group 1s.
5
2nd (5) Pearls And Rubies (33/1 +0%)
Pearls And Rubies

33
33/1(+0%)
(5) Pearls And Rubies 33/1, Made a winning debut at Navan (5f) in June and posted solid efforts subsequently until beating only one in Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh (7f) 20 days ago. Sort to bounce back for top yard.
Even if back on song, this looks too challenging on her return to sprinting.
9
3rd (9) Sacred Angel (13/2 -18%)
Sacred Angel

6.5
13/2(-18%)
(9) Sacred Angel 13/2, Useful filly who gained her second success in Ascot's Princess Margaret Stakes in July. Solid fourth of 9 to Vandeek in Prix Morny at Deauville (6f, good to soft) last month so she must enter calculations.
Soft an excuse in France; made all at Ascot and this track suits prominent racers.

4th (1) Cherry Blossom (6/1 +8%)
Cherry Blossom

6
6/1(+8%)
(1) Cherry Blossom 6/1, Winner at the Curragh in August and not disgraced when second of 23 in valuable sales event there (7f, soft) 7 days ago. Needs considering for yard which has a fine record in this.
Second to Relief Rally in the Lowther; may have bumped into a superstar at the Curragh.
6
5th (6) Persian Dreamer (12/1 -9%)
Persian Dreamer

12
12/1(-9%)
(6) Persian Dreamer 12/1, Course winner who also landed 4-runner Duchess of Cambridge Stakes on July Course here when last seen out 78 days ago. Possibilities after her break.
Behind some of these in the Albany and it was a weak Group 2 she won last time.
2
6th (2) Jabaara (40/1 +0%)
Jabaara

40
40/1(+0%)
(2) Jabaara 40/1, Debut C&D winner in May and better efforts when in the frame in Sweet Solera Stakes over 7f here and in Chester conditions event. This demands a big step forward though.
Beaten three times since her successful C&D debut and looks vulnerable at this level.
12
7th (12) Soprano (9/2 +10%)
Soprano

4.5
9/2(+10%)
(12) Soprano 9/2, Debut winner here and placed on all her four starts since, latest when third of 12 to Juniper Berries in Dick Poole at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) 23 days ago, despite being very slowly away. Shortlisted.
Quality filly who would have won Salisbury's Group 3 last time but for fluffing the start.
13
8th (13) Symbology (25/1 +0%)
Symbology

25
25/1(+0%)
(13) Symbology 25/1, Made a winning debut at York in July and has bettered that form in Group company since, third in the Lowther at York. Only seventh of 12 to Juniper Berries in Dick Poole at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) last time though so needs to bounce back.
Her third in the Lowther is a standout; very vulnerable on balance of her form.
3
9th (3) Jasna's Secret (5/2 -25%)
Jasna's Secret

2.5
5/2(-25%)
(3) Jasna's Secret 5/2, French filly who has looked a bright prospect when readily landing newcomers race at Deauville in July and valuable sales race on same course last month. Has more to offer. Player.
2-2 at Deauville and readily saw off a talented filly the last time; up to this level.
10
10th (10) She's Quality (14/1 +44%)
She's Quality

14
14/1(+44%)
(10) She's Quality 14/1, Fairly useful Irish filly who readily landed the odds in 6f maiden at Newbury in August. Not discredited when sixth of 9 in Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh (7f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Needs plenty more here, however.
Useful filly but not the obvious answer after her struggles in the Moyglare.
11
11th (11) Shuangxi (66/1 -100%)
Shuangxi

66
66/1(-100%)
(11) Shuangxi 66/1, Cotai Glory filly who made a winning start in 5-runner minor event at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 5/1) 28 days ago, despite running green. Seems sure to improve but this is a tough ask.
Made a winning debut at Wolverhampton but has no obvious form claims.
LTO Selection:

14:25 Newmarket Group 1 (Class 1) 6f Race Class Flow

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

It is very hard to get away from RELIEF RALLY, who has looked better with each run and has won four out of five, despite things not really falling right on a couple of occasions. The stiff finish will almost certainly play to the daughter of Kodiac's strengths and she looks sure to run a huge race. Jasna's Secret is a fascinating contender over from France having won with ease on both starts to date and any strong market move would need noting. Persian Dreamer and Cherry Blossom both remain on an upward curve and could push the principals all the way in what looks a cracking renewal.

RELIEF RALLY holds the edge on form and is fancied to make it 5-6 on the back of her cosy Lowther success on her first go over this trip. Unbeaten French filly Jasna's Secret has looked an excellent prospect thus far though so rates a big threat, while Irish raiders Porta Fortuna and Cherry Blossom have the form to play a part too in a most intriguing Cheveley Park.

Jasna's Secret is hugely respected but this could be the day that everything comes together for the talented SOPRANO.

Vandeek

1.62
1.62/1(-8%)
(9) Vandeek 1.62/1, 625,000 gns breeze-up buy who made a big impression twice before upping his game again to land the Prix Morny in gutsy fashion last month. More progress on the cards and makes plenty of appeal.
Progressing well; Prix Morny success took his record to 3-3; top on ratings; chief player.
8
2nd (8) Task Force (15/2 +0%)
Task Force

7.5
15/2(+0%)
(8) Task Force 15/2, Frankel colt with typically cracking Juddmonte pedigree. Has looked a top prospect in taking his first two starts, not hard pressed to land a listed event at Ripon on latest, and looks well worth a go in this grade.
Promising colt who is two from two; Listed win at Ripon latest; interesting prospect.
5
3rd (5) River Tiber (11/4 -10%)
River Tiber

2.75
11/4(-10%)
(5) River Tiber 11/4, From a good sprinting family and took his record to three from three when landing the Coventry at Royal Ascot in June. Reportedly missed some work prior to a creditable third behind Vandeek in Prix Morny and he's worth chancing to reverse the form.
Coventry winner; had setback in the lead-up to the Morny (still ran creditably); respected.
2
4th (2) Givemethebeatboys (20/1 +9%)
Givemethebeatboys

20
20/1(+9%)
(2) Givemethebeatboys 20/1, Won the Group 3 Marble Hill over 6f here in May but has seemingly had his limitations exposed when behind Bucanero Fuerte in the Coventry and Phoenix since. Likely he'll come up short again.
Ran respectably in the Coventry and the Phoenix but needs to show improvement.
7
5th (7) Starlust (22/1 -10%)
Starlust

22
22/1(-10%)
(7) Starlust 22/1, Likeable type who doubled his tally when landing the Sirenia Stakes at Kempton three weeks ago. Probably out of his depth upped to this level, however.
Steadily progressive colt whose form stacks up well; won the Sirenia most recently.
6
6th (6) Sketch (66/1 +18%)
Sketch

66
66/1(+18%)
(6) Sketch 66/1, Looked useful when scoring by 5 lengths on 6f Newbury debut. Back on track when third in listed company at York last time and step back up in trip should suit. Has plenty to find, however.
Ran well in 5f Listed race at York last time; this is a much harder task.
4
7th (4) Lake Forest (14/1 -17%)
Lake Forest

14
14/1(-17%)
(4) Lake Forest 14/1, Overcame greenness and the run of the race to make a winning start at Haydock in June and built on that when second in July Stakes at Newmarket next time. Resumed progress to land the Gimcrack at York last time and he's likely to be on the premises again.
Bounced back to win the Gimcrack but it looked a substandard edition of that York prize.
1
8th (1) Elite Status (14/1 +44%)
Elite Status

14
14/1(+44%)
(1) Elite Status 14/1, Looked a good prospect when taking two of his first three starts but has come up short in Prix Morny at Deauville since and has plenty to find with a few of these rivals.
Useful colt but a poor effort in the Morny puts him down the pecking order today.
3
9th (3) Jasour (11/1 +8%)
Jasour

11
11/1(+8%)
(3) Jasour 11/1, Much improved when taking the step up to Group 2-company in his stride at the July meeting here (6f, good to firm), scoring by 2 lengths with a bit in hand. Came up short in Prix Morny at Deauville since (did too much too soon) but remains with potential.
Won the July Stakes; unsuited by slow surface in the Morny; remains of major interest.
LTO Selection:

15:00 Newmarket Group 1 (Class 1) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Vandeek got the better of RIVER TIBER in the Group 1 Prix Morny at Deauville last month but there are strong reasons to believe that form can be turned around here. River Tiber had an interrupted preparation for that race, having previously won the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot, and the son of Wootton Bassett also didn't look entirely at ease on the very soft ground at Deauville. Back on a much better surface, Aidan O'Brien's charge can turn the tables on Vandeek and get back to winning ways. Jasour was well-held when eighth in that same race in France but maybe the ground was also an issue for him and he could bounce back. The unbeaten Task Force could take another step forward.

RIVER TIBER was unable to go with Vandeek in the Prix Morny last time but he'd reportedly missed some work prior to that and, given how promising he'd looked beforehand, he's worth a chance to reverse form with his old rival in a race that the pair may dominate. The unbeaten Task Force is a big player for all that he's stepping up markedly in grade.

Vandeek and River Tiber bring the best form but an interesting alternative is TASK FORCE. Jasour is also respected.

1
1st (1) Astro King (20/1 -11%)
Astro King

20
20/1(-11%)
(1) Astro King 20/1, Good buy by connections, finishing second in the John Smith's Cup in July before bagging a nice prize back at York at the Ebor meeting. Should give his running but will require a high-class handicap performance to defy a mark of 107.
Better than ever for new yard; up 5lb to career-high mark but could be bang there.
23
2nd (23) Greek Order (5/2 +38%)
Greek Order

2.5
5/2(+38%)
(23) Greek Order 5/2, Well-bred Kingman colt who is very much getting his act together now, bolting up in a 1¼m Newbury handicap under Oisin Murphy last month. The second won next time and even a 10 lb rise for that could prove lenient with further progress likely.
2-2 in handicaps and has been well backed for this race; firmly in calculations.

Bopedro

16
16/1(+11%)
(5) Bopedro 16/1, Won 9-runner handicap on the July Course in August and shaped better than the result when ninth of 17 in 7f Leopardstown handicap 3 weeks ago. Back up in trip.
Mixed form this year but Newmarket has brought out the best in him; he's one to consider.
10
4th (10) Oviedo (12/1 +33%)
Oviedo

12
12/1(+33%)
(10) Oviedo 12/1, Landed the Zetland Gold Cup at Redcar (1¼m, good) in May and recorded another good effort in a competitive event when second to Astro King (Haunted Dream third and Killybegs Warrior fourth) at the York Ebor meeting last month. This 3-y-o could yet have a bigger performance in him.
3yo with good record in handicaps, with a win and a creditable 2nd; could be thereabouts.
25
4th (25) Majestic (14/1 +0%)
Majestic

14
14/1(+0%)
(25) Majestic 14/1, Won this last year and plenty of creditable efforts in defeat this time round. Freshened up since finishing fourth in a Racing League handicap in mid-August and capable of making a bold bid to defend his crown.
Won this last year; mixed form this season but clearly well suited by today's scenario.
17
6th (17) Dutch Decoy (25/1 +24%)
Dutch Decoy

25
25/1(+24%)
(17) Dutch Decoy 25/1, Five-time 7f/1m winner in 2022 and went in on the July Course here this summer. Creditable efforts at Glorious Goodwood and the York Ebor meeting on his next 2 outings but needs to shrug off a lesser run at Doncaster a fortnight ago.
String of good runs before recent blip at Doncaster and he's not written off.
24
7th (24) Thunder Ball (80/1 -60%)
Thunder Ball

80
80/1(-60%)
(24) Thunder Ball 80/1, Off the mark in 7f Newbury novice in May and backed that up when a fine fourth in the Britannia at Royal Ascot. Back from a poor run on the July Course here when first past the post (demoted to second) at Goodwood (1m, soft) 4 weeks ago. Stable won this in 2020.
Displayed some strong handicap form this year; no surprise to see bold bid from this 3yo.

8th (6) Haunted Dream (20/1 +0%)
Haunted Dream

(6) Haunted Dream 20/1, Enhanced good AW strike rate when scoring at Chelmsford in April and has since posted a string of cracking efforts in strong turf handicaps, including 2¼ lengths third of 14 to Astro King at York last month. Morgan Cole takes a handy 5 lb off.
Running really well in defeat in hot handicaps at about 1m2f; solid each-way contender.
29

Carolus Magnus

50

(29) Carolus Magnus 50/1, Fairly useful winner for Andrew Balding. Some promise for new yard this year, albeit latest Wolverhampton effort was disappointing. Others are more obvious.
Hint of spark last month but well beaten since; back to having something to prove.
15

Dual Identity

22
22/1(-83%)
(15) Dual Identity 22/1, Third to Majestic (first home on his side) in this last year and arrives in form again after an impressive win at Sandown 4 weeks ago. Has to enter the reckoning despite an 8 lb rise.
Fine third in this last year and bolted up at Sandown most recently; has to be respected.
30

Geremia

100
100/1(+0%)
(30) Geremia 100/1, Two wins over 13f this year but tends to start slowly and will likely need the leaders to go off too hard if he's to get involved over this shorter trip.
Two wins this year but they were over 1m5f and he ran poorly at Hamilton (1m4f) last time.
27
12th (27) Faylaq (50/1 +0%)
Faylaq

50
50/1(+0%)
(27) Faylaq 50/1, Now 26 runs since his last win in 2019 but he has run with credit to be placed on 5 of his 6 starts since joining Jim Goldie. Has been plying his trade over longer trips but Nanton did likewise before placing 3 times in this for the yard a few years ago.
Some good runs this year over 1m3f-2m but losing sequence goes back to September 2019.
28
13th (28) Thundering (80/1 -21%)
Thundering

80
80/1(-21%)
(28) Thundering 80/1, Bounced back from a couple of poor runs to take advantage of his falling mark at Ayr (1¼m) last week. Shouldered with a 4 lb penalty in a much stronger race now and hardly an obvious one to follow up.
Back to winning ways at Ayr recently but could be vulnerable in this much stronger race.
31
14th (31) Zozimus (33/1 -65%)
Zozimus

33
33/1(-65%)
(31) Zozimus 33/1, One win from 24 starts but arrives on the back of good runner-up efforts over 1m at Beverley and Haydock this month. This is a much stronger race but still not discounted.
Modest strike-rate but in good form in this visor and he's not ruled out each-way.
18
15th (18) Graignes (80/1 +0%)
Graignes

80
80/1(+0%)
(18) Graignes 80/1, Won back to back over 1¼m this summer and has remained in form since, placing for the third start running when second of 12 in a Racing League event at Southwell 17 days ago. Has the hood he wore for the first time at Southwell combined with a refitted tongue tie.
Rejuvenated this year and remains well treated on 2020 form, but more needed in hot race.
33
16th (33) Crack Shot (16/1 -33%)
Crack Shot

16
16/1(-33%)
(33) Crack Shot 16/1, Has a largely progressive profile, making it second time lucky in handicaps when seeing off a fellow 3-y-o at Newbury (1m, good to firm) last month. Likely has more to offer.
Won at Newbury last month on second handicap start and this 3yo could continue to progress.
16
17th (16) Stay Well (66/1 -65%)
Stay Well

66
66/1(-65%)
(16) Stay Well 66/1, Arrives on the back of creditable in-frame efforts at Windsor (11.5f) and Sandown (1¼m) on his last 2 outings but losing run goes back nearly 2 years and others are preferred for win purposes again.
Solid efforts off this mark the last twice but others are more compelling.
22
18th (22) Arqoob (66/1 -32%)
Arqoob

66
66/1(-32%)
(22) Arqoob 66/1, Hurdle winner for Lucy Wadham in the spring and has recorded a couple of creditable efforts back on the Flat having returned to the care of William Jarvis. On a competitive mark.
On a handy mark; two solid runs last month but more pressing cases can be made for others.
2
19th (2) Saga (11/1 +31%)
Saga

11
11/1(+31%)
(2) Saga 11/1, Underlined what a talented sort he is on his day when narrowly denied in a 17-runner C&D handicap on 2000 Guineas day. Respectable efforts at listed level on his 2 outings since and these big-field handicaps do seem to bring out the best in him.
Two of his best runs have come in big-field handicaps; ideal scenario and interesting.
20
20th (20) Storm Catcher (66/1 -100%)
Storm Catcher

66
66/1(-100%)
(20) Storm Catcher 66/1, Three AW wins this year, the latest at Newcastle (1¼m) at the end of August. His Ascot third in July shows he's also capable on turf but his wins have all been achieved on artificial surfaces.
Steadily progressive and won last time (1m2f, AW) but this rise in grade may find him out.
26
21st (26) Bluelight Bay (80/1 -21%)
Bluelight Bay

80
80/1(-21%)
(26) Bluelight Bay 80/1, Fairly useful form last year and improved when accounting for 6 rivals in a 1m Salisbury handicap in June. Creditable in-frame efforts at Sandown and Ascot but will need to improve for the slightly longer trip to be a major contender under Saffie Osborne.
Not obviously ahead of his mark but the strong pace and extra 1f could both be positives.
7
22nd (7) Epic Poet (100/1 +0%)
Epic Poet

100
100/1(+0%)
(7) Epic Poet 100/1, Smart performer for Jean-Claude Rouget in France but failed to beat a rival in 2 outings in quick succession for new yard this summer. This stable/jockey combination has tasted success in this before but he has plenty to prove at present.
French Listed winner but well beaten this year on his two British starts; has been gelded.

(9) Killybegs Warrior 22/1, Won a 1¼m handicap on the July Course this summer and arrives on the back of creditable fourths in competitive events at York (Astro King, Oviedo and Haunted Dream ahead of him) at the Curragh on his last 2 outings.
Handicapper appears to have him about right but he likes Newmarket; not ruled out each-way.

Not helped by wide draw when fourth at Sandown latest; could still be capable of better.

Won six-runner handicap at Hamilton in July but looks vulnerable in this red-hot race.

(32) Sayf Al Dawla 80/1, Progressive in 2021 and, having attracted support, returned from a long absence as good as ever to land an 11-runner event at Sandown (1¼m) in July. Not so good at Newbury last week, though.
Won in July when back from a long absence but only sixth of seven at Newbury last Friday.

(3) Tyrrhenian Sea 66/1, Smart gelding who was 3¼ lengths second of 8 to Lord North in Winter Derby at Lingfield (1¼m, AW) in February but not seen since a disappointing run at Kempton in April when said to have bled.
On a competitive mark but off since April and this is a very tough comeback assignment.
12
28th (12) Liberty Lane (9/1 +44%)
Liberty Lane

9
9/1(+44%)
(12) Liberty Lane 9/1, Smart and improved performance back from an 8-week break when edging out Sonny Liston (pair clear) in a 15-runner 1m handicap at Doncaster on St Leger day. The way he rallied after being headed suggests this slightly longer trip could suit. Respected under a 4 lb penalty.
Rallied to win 1m handicap at Doncaster and this unexposed 3yo could have more to offer.
34
29th (34) Wildfell (100/1 -25%)
Wildfell

100
100/1(-25%)
(34) Wildfell 100/1, Highly progressive since joining this stable, winning first 4 starts this year. Improved further when a close second in 17-runner event at Glorious Goodwood (1m, soft) in August but he was beaten by more than the longer trip when always in rear over 1¼m at Doncaster recently. 4 lb out of weights.
Prolific earlier in year and retains potential; 4lb out of the handicap in this hot race.

Narrow win at Sandown in June; has run pretty well since but improvement is needed here.

(21) Terwada 25/1, Has quickly reached a useful level, winning Nottingham novice in June and following up in a handicap on the July Course here 4 weeks later (both 1m). Not disgraced when sixth of 19 in a Heritage Handicap at York since and that experience of a big-field handicap should hold him in good stead here.
Kept on nicely over 1m at York and today's extra furlong could suit this unexposed 3yo.

(4) Major Partnership 80/1, Scored cosily at Nottingham (8.3f) in June and creditable efforts on his next 2 outings. Does need to shrug off a very disappointing run at Ascot 3 weeks ago, though.
Some good runs this year but others may be better treated and he was below par last time.

Merlin The Wizard

17/2(+47%)
(19) Merlin The Wizard 17/2, Progressive, making it 3 wins in his last 4 starts when seeing off 8 rivals in a 1m handicap on the July Course here (good to firm) 7 week ago. Looks to have been saved for this since and one of 2 strong contenders for his stable.
Stayed on well for cosy 1m win last time; this unexposed 3yo is open to further progress.
11

Akhu Najla

50
50/1(-79%)
(11) Akhu Najla 50/1, Lightly-raced 4-y-o who showed he retains all his ability after an absence when fourth of 9 at Ascot (1m) in July but he went backwards from that effort at York last month. Needs to get back on the up in first-time blinkers.
Promising comeback at Ascot; failed to build on it at York but of interest now up in trip.
LTO Selection:

15:40 Newmarket Handicap (Class 2) 9f Race Class Flow

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

A typically-competitive renewal sees a chance taken on the stand out GREEK ORDER, who arrives here seeking a hat-trick after wins at Haydock and most recently at Newbury. Harry and Roger Charlton's charge did plenty wrong despite bolting up by more than four lengths over 1m2f at the latter venue, where he raced keenly and plenty of improvement can be expected. This son of Kingman has been raised 10lb for that success but with the second Maximilian Caesar subsequently franking the form, he could defy that burden to complete the hat-trick. Fellow last-time-out winner Dual Identity isn't ruled out of overcoming his 8lb rise after a four-and-a-half-length win over 1m2f at Sandown, while Oviedo (second) is on slightly better terms with his last-time-out conqueror Astro King and could reverse that form.

Highly competitive as usual but GREEK ORDER still stands out. It's all come together for this 3-y-o lately and his demolition of a next-time-out winner at Newbury suggests he could still be well treated after even a 10 lb rise. His stablemate Merlin The Wizard and recent Doncaster winner Liberty Lane are other interesting contenders among the 3-y-os, while Majestic, who is bidding to become the first back-to-back winner for over 50 years, and Eagle's Way may fare best of the older brigade.

Preference is for BOPEDRO (nap), who has a fine record at the Newmarket courses and caught the eye when unlucky in Ireland last time.

LTO Selection:

16:15 Newmarket Maiden (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Better can be expected of STRUTTING, who raced greenly on debut over 1m at Sandown earlier this month and she is fancied to take big strides forward today. This daughter of Frankel cost 425,000gns so better can be expected of a filly from powerful connections and that experience won't have been lost on her. Islanova is one of the more interesting debutants for Sir Michael Stoute, whose debutants always warrant a closer look, and the services of Ryan Moore are a major positive, while Chorus is also respected.

STRUTTING was too green to do herself justice at Sandown on debut 2 weeks ago but she can put that experience to good use up against some interesting newcomers, including True Cyan and Islanova.

Strutting ran okay on debut but this will probably go to a newcomer. There's good reason to expect a big run from MALLAVELLY.

This new trip worth exploring and she's not discounted in first-time cheekpieces here.

Nursery debut; off the mark at Windsor on her third start and could continue to progress.
LTO Selection:

16:50 Newmarket Handicap (Class 2) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Wild Goddess drops in class after coming home sixth in the Group 3 Sweet Solera Stakes last time out and, with the Charlie Appleby string in better form recently, she could go well despite top-weight. Whether she can successfully give 10lb to SHIN JIDAI is another question. The 7f maiden winner weakened to finish third over 1m at Thirsk latest and, now dropped in trip, she may have a lot more to offer. Falling For You and Miss Information are others to consider in a highly-competitive renewal.

The form of the nursery in which KEY TO COTAI was a creditable fifth at the York Ebor meeting looks very strong, with the runner-up subsequently winning a Group 3 and the third going on to land a valuable sales race. She is likely to be suited by this step up to 7f and gets the nod ahead of Liv My Life, who landed a decent contest at Goodwood last time and may also benefit from this stiffer test. Miss Information is third choice, while Falling For You and Shin Jidai are also shortlisted.

Having kept on well for fifth of 16 in a warm 6f nursery at York, KEY TO COTAI earns the vote now up in distance.

17:25 Newmarket Handicap (Class 2) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Three-year-olds get a 3lb age allowance here and that may tip the scales in the favour of Andrew Balding's GLENFINNAN. Put up 6lb for a win at Ascot last time out, he was value for more than the official margin of half a length suggests and may have more improvement to come after only seven starts. Darkness is capable of a big run off this mark for a stable in among the winners recently, while Modesty could also get involved where it matters if the cheekpieces help him to keep a straighter course.

A really competitive affair, with the in-form STAR OF ORION fancied to continue his good spell having held his form admirably in defeat since scoring on the July Course here in the summer. Veteran Accidental Agent ran well in the Bunbury Cup and wasn't beaten too far at Chepstow next time, so is another to merit consideration. Bajan Bandit is fractionally the most appealing of the 3-y-os and he can complete the placings.

Star Of Orion has solid claims but GLENFINNAN was suited by the return to 7f at Ascot and can improve again now back in a handicap.

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.
