(8) Love Dynasty 6/1, Foaled April 14. 190,000 gns yearling, Dubawi filly. Dam unraced half-sister to very smart winner up to 1m (including Poule d'Essai des Pouliches) Elusive Wave. Yard has taken this in two of past three seasons so she's a player. 190,000gns yearling; trainer has good recent record in this race and saddles two.
4
2nd (4) (15/8 -15%) Dubai Melody
1.875
15/8(-15%)
(4) Dubai Melody 15/8, Foaled February 5. Masar filly. Half-sister to useful winner up to 1¼m Al Waqidi. Newcomer commands plenty of respect. Worth a market check. From a classy family; with a leading stable and could be a key player on debut.
10
3rd (10) (12/1 +40%) Oxford Comma
12
12/1(+40%)
(10) Oxford Comma 12/1, Foaled April 12. 80,000 gns yearling, Nathaniel filly. Half-sister to useful winner up to 1½m Juan de Montalban. Dam, 11f winner, half-sister to smart 1m-9.5f winner Akatea. Considered newcomer. Nathaniel newcomer who is likely to need further in time but this will be a stamina test.
2
4th (2) (13/2 +24%) Arts Of War
6.5
13/2(+24%)
(2) Arts Of War 13/2, Foaled April 18. £210,000 2-y-o, Dubawi filly. Half-sister to useful 1m-1¼m winner Wild Pansy. Dam 2-y-o 1m winner who stayed 10.5f. One to note on debut. Wears hood. Noteworthy newcomer. Cost £210,000 at the breeze-ups; wears a hood on debut but no surprise to see a big run.
11
5th (11) (16/1 -60%) Sinology
16
16/1(-60%)
(11) Sinology 16/1, Foaled April 19. Study of Man filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful 2-y-o 1m winner Ching Shih and useful winner up to 1½m Oriental Mystique. Possibilities. Connections have done very well with family and she's bred to be suited by testing ground.
9
6th (9) (13/2 +7%) Mallavelly
6.5
13/2(+7%)
(9) Mallavelly 13/2, 8/1, looked in need of the experience when ninth of 17 in maiden over C&D (good to firm) on debut 35 days ago. This Siyouni filly seems sure to improve. Fairly encouraging debut over C&D in September and there can be optimism she'll progress.
7
7th (7) (4/1 +27%) Little Rose
4
4/1(+27%)
(7) Little Rose 4/1, Foaled February 25. Dubawi filly. Half-sister to smart 1m-1¼m winner Scentasia. Dam unraced half-sister to smart winner up to 1½m Elite Army. Trainer has a very good record in this event so an interesting newcomer. One of two newcomers for trainer with good record in this race; check the betting.
5
8th (5) (200/1 -300%) Dwynwen
200
200/1(-300%)
(5) Dwynwen 200/1, Foaled February 11. Advertise filly. Half-sister to 1¼m winner Angels Roc and 1¼m winner Meleri. Others appeal a lot more on paper. Half-sister to two winners (RPRs 77/68); may be one for handicaps further down the line.
12
9th (12) (22/1 -159%) Through The Echoes
22
22/1(-159%)
(12) Through The Echoes 22/1, 52,000F, €95,000Y. Closely related to 3 winners, including smart winner up to 6f Aberama Gold. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner. Yard can ready them so she is one for the shortlist. Related to several winners; check betting, although her pedigree is more about sprinting.
3
10th (3) (100/1 -203%) Carping Caitlin
100
100/1(-203%)
(3) Carping Caitlin 100/1, Foaled April 16. Lope De Vega filly. Dam, 1¼m winner who stayed 1¾m, half-sister to smart 1½m-16.4f winner (stayed 2½m) Allegretto out of smart 1¼m-2¼m winner Alleluia. Others are preferred on this occasion. There's stamina on the dam's side and she may need further than this debut trip.
LTO Selection:
11:20 Newmarket Stakes (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
The market is likely to be all-informative and it wouldn't be a surprise to see money arrive for Ralph Beckett's FUN LOVING, a 350,000gns Le Havre filly who is a half-sister to the useful Lysander. Godolphin filly Dubai Melody obviously has to come under the microscope with Charlie Appleby ending the campaign in such strong fashion, whilst Arts Of War also catches the eye being a half-sister to a Listed-placed filly in France, though the presence of a hood tempers enthusiasm slightly.
Virtually no form to go on but the William Haggas/Cieren Fallon partnership have bagged two of the past three runnings of this and so their unraced LITTLE ROSE is taken to continue the good work and edge out fellow Dubawi filly and stablemate Love Dynasty. Through The Echoes, Arts of War and Dubai Melody are other newcomers with the potential to have a say, especially if the market speaks in their favour.
Preference is for SINOLOGY, whose attractive pedigree suggests testing ground will be right up her street.
(9) Lunar Eclipse 13/2, Foaled February 20. €350,000 yearling, Night of Thunder filly. Half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Zanbaq. Must enter calculations on debut. Debut; 350,000euros y'ling; half-sister to 1m Listed winner Zanbaq; could be major player.
6
2nd (6) (9/4 -38%) Ghaihaban
2.25
9/4(-38%)
(6) Ghaihaban 9/4, Promising type who posted fair second of 15 in minor event at Windsor (6f, good to soft) on debut 19 days ago. Looks sure to improve. Kept on for promising second over 6f at Windsor on debut and holds leading claims.
3
3rd (3) (2/1 +71%) Fair Point
2
2/1(+71%)
(3) Fair Point 2/1, Foaled March 2. Farhh filly. Sister to very smart French 7f/1m winner Tribalist. Interesting newcomer. Sister to French 1m Group 2 winner (on very soft ground) Tribalist; lots to like on paper.
11
4th (11) (11/2 -83%) Sea Journey
5.5
11/2(-83%)
(11) Sea Journey 11/2, Foaled February 23. Sea The Stars filly. Half-sister to 1¼m winner Storm Castle and winner up to 1¼m Inner Space. Dam 1¼m-1½m winner, won British Champions Fillies & Mare Stakes. Makes appeal on paper. Dam 1m2f-1m4f winner (including Group 1); surplus stamina could be a plus on the ground.
7
5th (7) (50/1 -100%) Graecia
50
50/1(-100%)
(7) Graecia 50/1, Foaled March 26. €28,000 yearling, Magna Grecia filly. Dam French 10.5f winner. 28,000euros yearling; dam French 10.5f Listed winner; may be best watched on debut.
4
6th (4) (11/1 -10%) Fariha
11
11/1(-10%)
(4) Fariha 11/1, Appeals on pedigree but has finished down the field in both starts thus far. Soundly beaten on first two starts but perhaps the testing ground can prompt improvement.
12
7th (12) (16/1 -60%) Teatime
16
16/1(-60%)
(12) Teatime 16/1, Foaled March 8. Time Test filly. Half-sister to 7f winner Puntarelle. Dam, 1¼m winner, half-sister to useful 1m/9f winner Golden Syrup. Worth a second look in the market on debut. Debut; half-sister to 7f AW winner Puntarelle (RPR 79); others are more compelling.
1
8th (1) (80/1 -220%) Advindi
80
80/1(-220%)
(1) Advindi 80/1, Foaled April 25. 60,000 gns foal, 17,000 gns yearling, Advertise filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including 7f winner Incorrigible and 5f winner Perfect Charm. Dam winner up to 7f (2-y-o 6f winner). Advertise newcomer who may be one for handicaps further down the line.
5
9th (5) (12/1 +33%) Geliceaux
12
12/1(+33%)
(5) Geliceaux 12/1, Likely to step up on what she showed on debut at Windsor (8.1f) last month before long, but others make more appeal on this occasion. Trainer's 2yos tend to need their first outings but a big chunk of improvement is required.
10
10th (10) (125/1 -150%) Roody Toody
125
125/1(-150%)
(10) Roody Toody 125/1, Seemed to leave her debut form well behind when eighth of 17 in maiden over C&D in September but failed to back that up at Southwell last time. Not beaten far over C&D on middle of her three runs but others are preferred.
LTO Selection:
11:52 Newmarket Stakes (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
GHAIHABAN went unsupported on her recent debut over 6f at Windsor but showed plenty of promise to finish second, running on in a fashion which suggests she will relish the extra furlong on offer here. With that experience to draw on, she should take some stopping. There is plenty to like about both Lunar Eclipse and Fair Point on paper, whilst Sea Journey would be of particular interest if supported in the market.
GHAIHABAN should have learnt plenty from her encouraging Windsor debut and can get off the mark. The chief threat may come from the debutants, with Sea Journey and Lunar Eclipse of particular interest.
Fair Point, Lunar Eclipse and Sea Journey are very interesting newcomers but this could go to Windsor runner-up GHAIHABAN.
(5) Orne 10/1, Made a winning debut on AW at Kempton (7f) in September and possibly had his stamina stretched when ffourth of 7 to Ancient Wisdom in Group 3 (8f) at this course since. Remains open to progress back at 7f. Debut winner; perhaps failed to see out the 1m when highly tried in a Group 3 here.
9
2nd (9) (8/1 -100%) Witness Stand
8
8/1(-100%)
(9) Witness Stand 8/1, Made winning debut at Chester (7f) in June and better form in defeat since, notably when close second in C&D nursery (good to soft) 3 weeks ago. Sets the standard on that form. Just missed out in a C&D nursery on soft and solid claims on the back of that.
6
3rd (6) (9/1 -50%) Son Of Man
9
9/1(-50%)
(6) Son Of Man 9/1, Overcame greenness to make a winning debut at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) in September. Still in need of experience when seventh in Group 3 here (7f) latest and remains with potential. Debut winner over 6f; slow start was no help when never dangerous here in a Group 3.
3
4th (3) (4/1 +11%) Finbar Furey
4
4/1(+11%)
(3) Finbar Furey 4/1, Has improved with each start, posting a near useful performance when scoring comfortably in novice company at Salisbury (7f, heavy) 30 days ago. Sold out of Clive Cox's yard for 180,000 gns since and is likely capable of better yet. Impressed at Salisbury (7f, soft) and has since changed hands for 180,000gns.
7
5th (7) (2/1 +56%) Telemark
2
2/1(+56%)
(7) Telemark 2/1, Built on promising Leiecester debut when winning quite comfortably at Yarmouth (7f, soft) last month. Asked a bigger question now but he should have more to offer yet. Built on a promising debut when clocking a good time in victory at Yarmouth (soft).
8
6th (8) (11/2 +21%) Ten Bob Tony
5.5
11/2(+21%)
(8) Ten Bob Tony 11/2, Well suited by a change of tactics and more testing ground when making all in novice company at Salisbury (7f, heavy) 30 days ago. More will be needed here but he'll be at home under these conditions. Looked very content on soft ground when making all for an easy win at Salisbury.
1
7th (1) (11/2 +0%) Blue Lemons
5.5
11/2(+0%)
(1) Blue Lemons 11/2, Struck on soft-ground Leicester debut in September and improved on that when close third in Newbury novice (8f, heavy) 10 days later. That form has been boosted and he must enter calculations here. 7f winner; close up in a 1m conditions last time, showing useful form; fine on soft.
2
8th (2) (18/1 -125%) Change For Good
18
18/1(-125%)
(2) Change For Good 18/1, Made a winning start at Epsom (7f, good to firm) in September and stepped up on that when 5 lengths eighth in Group 3 at this course a fortnight later. May have more to offer but faces much more testing ground than previously. Debut winner who was eyecatching when never dangerous in a Group 3 here.
LTO Selection:
12:27 Newmarket Group 3 (Class 1) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
A Group 3 in which all nine protagonists have a win under their belts but a number didn't improve as much as expected second time out, though Orne had excuses when not appearing to get home over a mile. One who bucked the trend was TELEMARK, who seemingly relished softer ground when scoring with plenty up his sleeve at Yarmouth last month and he is taken to follow up at the chief expense of fellow improver Finbar Furey, who has joined Jane Chapple-Hyam's yard for 180,000gns since opening his account in good style at Salisbury.
Preference is for FINBAR FUREY, who found testing conditions in is favour at Salisbury last month and remains with potential for his new yard. Witness Stand arrives on the back of an excellent effort here last month and is feared most, whilst Telemark still looked far from the finished article when scoring at Yarmouth and is also much respected.
An open race but TELEMARK clocked a good time in winning on testing ground at Yarmouth and the yard has some top 2yos.
(3) Amazonian Dream 10/1, Ended a long losing run when taking 10-runner handicap at Windsor (6f, good to soft) 19 days ago. 4 lb rise fair and is one for the shortlist. Kept on well to win a 6f handicap at Windsor last month (soft); 4lb rise not excessive.
9
1st (9) (9/1 +10%) Momaer
9
9/1(+10%)
(9) Momaer 9/1, Scored twice earlier this year and bounced back to best when ½-length second of 10 to Amazonian Dream in handicap (6/1) at Windsor (6f, good to soft) 19 days ago. 2 lb higher now but ought to give another good account. Ran well on soft at Windsor 19 days ago but she'll need more up 2lb in a deeper race.
17
2nd (17) (8/1 +50%) Ramiro
8
8/1(+50%)
(17) Ramiro 8/1, Having dropped below his last winning mark, gained a second success of the season when scoring at Chester (7f, heavy) in September. Remained in good form both starts since but finds himself in a deeper contest here. Conditions will suit and he comes here in form; likely to be arriving on the scene late.
5
3rd (5) (9/1 +25%) Aplomb
9
9/1(+25%)
(5) Aplomb 9/1, Caught the eye when making the frame in a couple of 6f handicaps this summer but found run of good form coming to a halt at Ayr latest and overall profile is somewhat off-putting. On losing run; good form in recent months but type that needs everything to fall right.
2
4th (2) (25/1 +24%) Faro De San Juan
25
25/1(+24%)
(2) Faro De San Juan 25/1, Caused a 25/1 surprise when scoring at Chester (6.1f, good) in June but has struggled for form since, finishing well held at Ascot 4 weeks ago. Back down to below his last winning mark but has enough to prove at present. On a handy mark and today's drop in class should help; Paul Mulrennan a good booking.
1
5th (1) (7/1 +13%) Razeyna
7
7/1(+13%)
(1) Razeyna 7/1, Has made the frame on 4 of her 5 starts this season, running respectably when fourth at Newbury (7f, heavy) on her latest outing. Will need to find more as she drops back down in trip with tongue strap on first time. Handles bad ground and won't need much more for the addition of a tongue-tie to feature.
14
5th (14) (11/2 +50%) Tiriac
5.5
11/2(+50%)
(14) Tiriac 11/2, Returned to form, in first-time cheekpieces, when 1¾ lengths third of 10 to Amazonian Dream in handicap (5/1) at Windsor (6f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Claims if building on that. Placed in soft-ground handicaps on last three starts; handles heavy; should run well.
15
7th (15) (7/1 -40%) Albert Cee
7
7/1(-40%)
(15) Albert Cee 7/1, Much improved when getting off the mark in 8-runner handicap at Leicester (6f, good) 40 days ago, keeping on well. 6 lb higher now but remains with potential as a sprinter. Looked good at Leicester in September but slower conditions & better opposition this time.
19
8th (19) (28/1 +30%) Boafo Boy
28
28/1(+30%)
(19) Boafo Boy 28/1, Dual winner over 6f/7f for Jamie Osborne but operating below best since his last victory in January and no signs of revival on debut for new yard at this venue in August. Tongue strap back on. Two wins for former yard; fair start for this one but today's ground is an unknown factor.
12
9th (12) (10/1 +29%) Harry's Halo
10
10/1(+29%)
(12) Harry's Halo 10/1, Ended last year with victory on testing ground in Doncaster handicap (6f) and acquitted himself well in defeat off higher marks twice this summer. Below form more recently, however, and is tried in hood now. Conditions will suit well; not seen to best effect latest; hood now added; each-way claims.
11
10th (11) (9/1 +18%) Verdansk
9
9/1(+18%)
(11) Verdansk 9/1, Remains a maiden after 6 attempts but ran up to best, on debut for new yard, when good third of 11 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 19 days ago. This is tougher but he remains low mileage and could take a hand. Ran well over 7f (AW) on recent stable debut; return to 6f can help; promise on soft.
13
11th (13) (11/1 -29%) Cold Stare
11
11/1(-29%)
(13) Cold Stare 11/1, Having his second run in 2 days, off the mark for the season at Ayr (7.2f, good) in September, before running below par when back at the same course 10 days later. Could bounce back with conditions to suit. Two good runs at the Ayr Gold Cup meeting but below that level latest; first run here.
6
12th (6) (9/1 +10%) Gemini Star
9
9/1(+10%)
(6) Gemini Star 9/1, Upped her game in recent starts, latest when second of 11 in handicap (11/2) at Leicester (5f, good) 25 days ago. Faces a stiffer test here but has fewer miles on the clock than most of her rivals. Runner-up in 5f handicaps the last twice; return to 6f can suit and he handles heavy.
10
13th (10) (16/1 +36%) Coco Bear
16
16/1(+36%)
(10) Coco Bear 16/1, Took his form up a notch this spring on soft ground, completing his hat-trick in 6f Ascot handicap in May. Been well below that form since, though, beaten 2 out in similar conditions at Salisbury latest. Cheekpieces on first time. Three 6f wins on soft to begin his campaign; quiet the last twice; now gets cheekpieces.
18
14th (18) (40/1 +0%) Iris Dancer
40
40/1(+0%)
(18) Iris Dancer 40/1, Does most of her winning at Hamilton and arrives on the back of a poor effort at Ayr last month. Easy enough to look elsewhere. Flopped in hat-trick bid latest; conditions should be fine but needs a career best.
16
15th (16) (22/1 -10%) Miss Bella Brand
22
22/1(-10%)
(16) Miss Bella Brand 22/1, Dual 6f winner in early summer but not quite at that level since, fair fourth of 10 to Amazonian Dream in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Goes well in the mud so no forlorn hope. Fourth behind three of these rivals at Windsor latest; should give her running once more.
20
16th (20) (28/1 -40%) Hoof It Hoof It
28
28/1(-40%)
(20) Hoof It Hoof It 28/1, Back on scoreboard at Ripon (6f) in September but ran badly in follow-up bid at Leicester and may prefer better conditions. Made all in a lower grade in September; disappointing latest; ground a worry.
LTO Selection:
13:02 Newmarket Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
RAZEYNA was far from disgraced in fourth over 7f at Newbury last month and she is able to compete off the same rating. The four-year-old takes a step down in grade and distance, which could bring out the improvement needed to take this. The main danger is Gemini Star, who has been knocking hard on the door of late, while Ramiro is another to consider in an open contest.
AMAZONIAN DREAM had several of these rivals behind her when returning to winning ways at Windsor last month and remains feasibly treated. She gets the nod. Leicester-scorer Albert Cee will be dangerous if handling these likely extreme conditions, whilst Verdansk and Cold Stare are also of interest.
A competitive sprint in which VERDANSK is taken to build on the promise of his recent stable debut. Razeyna is next best.
(2) I Love Paris 15/2, Promise on each of her three runs, producing her best effort to date when third in a 1m novice here (good) 42 days ago. Opening mark could have been kinder but the step up in trip looks a positive. Needs improvement but kept on well here (1m) last time and may have more to give.
6
1st (6) (4/1 +20%) Bust A Move
4
4/1(+20%)
(6) Bust A Move 4/1, Has improved with each start, shaping well when third (Classy Boy 2nd) in 7.9f York nursery (soft) 21 days ago, keeping on for third after suffering a bit of interference. Must enter calculations up in trip. Came from last to a close third of ten when making his nursery debut at York (1m, soft).
4
2nd (4) (7/2 +0%) Classy Boy
3.5
7/2(+0%)
(4) Classy Boy 7/2, Improved for the step up in trip when second of 10 in nursery at York (7.9f, soft, 12/1) 21 days ago. Nudged up 2 lb but likely to go well again if seeing out this extra 1f. Second in nursery at York (upped to 1m, soft) last time, just in front of Bust A Move.
5
3rd (5) (6/1 +20%) Tipsy Tiger
6
6/1(+20%)
(5) Tipsy Tiger 6/1, Showed improved form to make a winning nursery debut (15/2) at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) 17 days ago, staying on to lead final 50 yds. Respected up 4 lb. Snatched a win from well off the pace on nursery debut at Nottingham (1m, heavy); up 4lb.
1
4th (1) (5/6 +45%) New Chelsea
0.833333
5/6(+45%)
(1) New Chelsea 5/6, New Bay colt who improved further when collared in the final strides by a promising stablemate at Newbury (7f, heavy) 42 days ago. Has been gelded since and now goes handicapping back up in trip from an attractive opening mark. Bold show on heavy last time (pipped; gelded since) and there's stamina in the family.
7
5th (7) (28/1 -180%) It's Not Risky
28
28/1(-180%)
(7) It's Not Risky 28/1, Showed promise when third at Chester on his second start in September, finishing with running left. Never a threat there 13 days later but remains with potential now stepping up in trip on handicap debut. Cheekpieces on for 1st time/has been gelded. Gelded after latest start and now also wears cheekpieces; dam 1m6f winner; handicap debut.
8
6th (8) (80/1 -186%) Modern Verse
80
80/1(-186%)
(8) Modern Verse 80/1, Has finished last all 3 starts to date so needs a transformation now switching to nurseries. Has not yet beaten a rival; dam won at up to 1m5f and this is her handicap debut.
LTO Selection:
13:37 Newmarket Handicap (Class 4) 9f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
NEW CHELSEA may still be a maiden after three starts but he has shown plenty of promise on each of those efforts, including when only beaten a head by a subsequent winner at Newbury in September. The son of New Bay could have any amount of improvement to come on his nursery debut and looks the way to go. The main threat is Tipsy Tiger after his victory at Nottingham, while Classy Boy is noted too.
NEW CHELSEA was denied only by a promising stablemate at Newbury on his most recent outing and looks to have been handed a lenient opening mark based on that, so a big run is expected on his nursery debut. The way Bust A Move kept on at York suggests this longer trip could bring about improvement, and he's feared most.
Winning a nursery at Nottingham as he did suggests that TIPSY TIGER (nap) is well equipped to win this race in a right slog.
(3) Dashing Roger 4/1, Snapped a losing run going back over 2 years when forging clear in mud in a Nottingham handicap 3 weeks ago. 9 lb rise probably enough to prevent the follow up. Bolted up at Nottingham last month and 2-2 on heavy ground; has to be respected.
8
2nd (8) (28/1 -100%) Spirit Genie
28
28/1(-100%)
(8) Spirit Genie 28/1, Capitalised on the marked drop in grade to win with any amount in hand in 8-runner seller at Leicester (7f, heavy) 18 days ago. Still looks on stiff mark heading back into handicaps, though. Easily won Leicester seller last month and he's well treated on best Irish handicap form.
12
3rd (12) (14/1 -17%) Magic Memories
14
14/1(-17%)
(12) Magic Memories 14/1, Took his form up another notch when shedding maiden status in 7-runner handicap at Brighton a fortnight ago. Up 3 lb in a better handicap but he's not yet exposed. Won at Brighton in second handicap; further improvement needed but may well be forthcoming.
2
4th (2) (66/1 -100%) One Night Thunder
66
66/1(-100%)
(2) One Night Thunder 66/1, Made a winning debut at Kempton in March and better form when placed next 2 starts switched to turf. Looked harshly dealt with by the assessor when fifth of 6 at Lingfield and he's since left Richard Hannon. Lightly raced 3yo; new yard is in good form but improvement is needed off current mark.
13
5th (13) (40/1 +0%) Achillea
40
40/1(+0%)
(13) Achillea 40/1, Winner of Racing League handicap at Yarmouth (1m) in July. No impact both starts since and this could be a tough race to bounce back in. Won at Yarmouth (1m, good to soft) in July but hasn't shone since; others more compelling.
7
6th (7) (11/2 +45%) Alpha Crucis
5.5
11/2(+45%)
(7) Alpha Crucis 11/2, Better than ever when winning 10-runner handicap at Goodwood (8f, soft) 3 weeks ago. Found the race developing suitably there and he's up 4 lb in a better race. Will handle the conditions. Form figures in soft-ground handicaps read 121 and this 3yo could have more to offer.
10
7th (10) (7/1 -75%) City Of York
7
7/1(-75%)
(10) City Of York 7/1, Is really getting his act together now, beating a subsequent winner at Kempton (1m) in August and nicely on top at the line as he brought up the hat-trick at Newbury 6 weeks ago. Unexposed at this trip and highly unlikely he's reached his limit yet. Completed hat-trick when winning on heavy ground at Newbury; could have more left in tank.
5
8th (5) (9/2 +10%) Talis Evolvere
4.5
9/2(+10%)
(5) Talis Evolvere 9/2, Built on earlier promise when landing 8-runner maiden at Pontefract (8f, good to soft) 44 days ago. Well on top at the finish and this opening mark may well underestimate him. Very lightly raced 3yo who could evolve into something better than his opening mark.
14
9th (14) (16/1 -33%) Dream Pirate
16
16/1(-33%)
(14) Dream Pirate 16/1, Supplemented his Bath success in 14-runner handicap at Bath last month. Cracking effort when second at Yarmouth since so he's clearly in excellent nick. In fine form since these blinkers went on; up in grade here but could still be improving.
4
10th (4) (33/1 -32%) Raising Sand
33
33/1(-32%)
(4) Raising Sand 33/1, Veteran who showed he's still useful when fourth of 22 in the Spring Mile (heavy) at Doncaster in April but he's been well below that level in his 3 outings since. Bounce back needed. On a dangerous mark but this 11yo has been soundly beaten on his last three starts.
11
11th (11) (17/2 -13%) Prince Of Zenda
8.5
17/2(-13%)
(11) Prince Of Zenda 17/2, Found plenty of improvement meeting heavy ground when landing 4-runner minor event at Chester (7.6f) 35 days ago, clearing away approaching the final 1f to win unchallenged. Highly respected back in a handicap. Well served by soft going and this lightly raced 3yo is a possible with conditions to suit.
6
12th (6) (16/1 +0%) Carolus Magnus
16
16/1(+0%)
(6) Carolus Magnus 16/1, Useful handicapper who has yet to get his head in front for this yard but he has caught the eye on occasions, including when ninth of 24 in the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket. Effort flattened out a bit at York since. Has edged down the weights but he may not want testing ground.
1
13th (1) (9/1 -50%) Metal Merchant
9
9/1(-50%)
(1) Metal Merchant 9/1, Useful performer who shaped well on a couple of occasions before getting his head back in front in a classified race at Ascot (1m, good) a month ago. Clear with an unexposed one and looks on a fair mark now back in a handicap. Acts on heavy. Runner-up to City Of York at Newbury then won at Ascot; could again be thereabouts.
9
14th (9) (17/2 +6%) King's Code
8.5
17/2(+6%)
(9) King's Code 17/2, Enjoyed a productive season, taking his tally for the year to 4 in 11-runner handicap at Wolverhampton 12 days ago. Overcame a pace bias in the process so 4 lb higher mark won't prevent another bold bid. 3yo who is 3-4 for this yard and clearly thriving; won on heavy ground two starts ago.
LTO Selection:
14:10 Newmarket Handicap (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
DASHING ROGER relished conditions when going in by over five lengths in a class 4 event at Nottingham on his latest outing and the handicapper hit him with a 9lb rise. The six-year-old should get similar ground on this occasion, which could make him the one to beat. Metal Merchant got his head back in front at Ascot last time after a very solid season and should go well back in handicap company, while Alpha Crucis won at Goodwood last month and is also of interest.
TALIS EVOLVERE clearly improved markedly for a gelding operation coupled with the step up to 1m when a taking winner at Pontefract in September and the assessor may have taken a chance with this 3-y-os opening mark. There's plenty of depth to this, with City of York, Kings Code and Prince of Zenda a trio of potential threats.
Top of the list is the fast-improving 3yo CITY OF YORK, who completed a hat-trick with a heavy-ground win at Newbury in September.
(9) Regal Jubilee 9/1, Left debut form well behind when running out an impressive winner of a Windsor novice last month. Pedigree points to further progress and she's in excellent hands, so makes the most appeal. Bred to be smart; wide-margin winner of good-ground Windsor novice; has to be respected.
4
2nd (4) (12/1 -20%) Je Zous
12
12/1(-20%)
(4) Je Zous 12/1, Promising sort who knew a lot more than on debut when opening her account in a Thurles maiden a month ago. Significant that she's made the trip over and she's likely to feature. Interesting Irish raider who comfortably won 1m maiden on soft ground last month.
8
3rd (8) (14/1 +22%) Molten Rock
14
14/1(+22%)
(8) Molten Rock 14/1, Did the job well when making a winning debut at Redcar (1m, heavy) just 15 days ago. That form is nothing special, though, and she has plenty to find. Handled testing conditions well when making winning debut at Redcar; this is much stronger.
1
4th (1) (4/1 +38%) Beautiful Love
4
4/1(+38%)
(1) Beautiful Love 4/1, Confirmed previous encouragement when off the mark at the third attempt in a C&D novice 42 days ago. That track experience should hold her in good stead, so she's well worthy of respect. Suited by step up to 1m when winning here last time; heading in the right direction.
12
5th (12) (4/1 +43%) You Got To Me
4
4/1(+43%)
(12) You Got To Me 4/1, Expensive Nathaniel filly who wasn't asked for everything when winning a maiden at Kempton a couple of months ago. Open to improvement and worth a crack in this sort of company. Overturned an odds-on favourite at Kempton on debut; could be anything.
2
6th (2) (9/2 +18%) Glimpsed
4.5
9/2(+18%)
(2) Glimpsed 9/2, Half-sister to several winners, including high-class winner up to 15.5f Scope, and looked talented herself when readily scoring in a maiden at this course recently. Excellent prospect who should get involved if inexperience doesn't hold her back. Well-bred filly who made the perfect start over 7f here last month; serious contender.
10
7th (10) (14/1 -40%) Shardam
14
14/1(-40%)
(10) Shardam 14/1, Built on encouraging debut (for Jessica Harrington) when landing a novice at Haydock (from Marama) without being hard pressed last time. More to come and worthy of interest for a shrewd stable. All-the-way Haydock winner on soft ground from re-opposing Marama; not ruled out.
5
8th (5) (10/1 -43%) La Pasionaria
10
10/1(-43%)
(5) La Pasionaria 10/1, Out of a useful French winner and made the ideal start when landing an 11-runner novice in testing ground at Salisbury a month ago. Well worth a try in this grade. Looked useful prospect when gamely making winning debut at Salisbury; another to consider.
3
9th (3) (14/1 +0%) Gray's Inn
14
14/1(+0%)
(3) Gray's Inn 14/1, Fairly useful filly. Latest win at Chester in July. 28/1, good 4¾ lengths fourth of 10 to Content in Staffordstown Stud Stakes at the Curragh (8f, soft) 28 days ago. Not discounted. Consistent type; likely to give it her best shot as usual but faces some unexposed rivals.
6
|U| (6) (8/1 +33%) Marama
8
8/1(+33%)
(6) Marama 8/1, Decent pedigree and encouraging start to her career when finding just one too good at Haydock (1m, soft) last month. Improvement should be forthcoming and she's not completely dismissed. Needs to improve on debut second but that was quite promising and she's in good hands.
7
10th (7) (25/1 -56%) Miss Roberts
25
25/1(-56%)
(7) Miss Roberts 25/1, Off the mark at Ayr in September and far from discredited when fourth in a German listed contest since. Should give another good account but she's vulnerable. Has claims on Ayr nursery win but arrives just 13 days after disappointing run in Germany.
11
11th (11) (125/1 -89%) Sharona
125
125/1(-89%)
(11) Sharona 125/1, Left previous efforts behind when landing a 3-runner maiden at Leicester recently but probably flying too high in this grade. 40-1 winner of three-runner Leicester maiden on soft ground; in deeper here.
LTO Selection:
14:47 Newmarket Listed (Class 1) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Charlie Appleby was out of luck in this contest 12 months ago, but BEAUTIFUL LOVE might be the one to side with today. She opened her account over C&D in September, having chased home subsequent Fillies' Mile fourth Classical Song home at Sandown prior, and a similar level of form could see the Siyouni filly claim Pattern success. Ralph Beckett launches a three-pronged assault with You Got To Me, La Pasionaria and Glimpsed, who all won on their debuts and appear capable of throwing down a stern challenge. Gray's Inn wasn't disgraced in a Group 3 at the Curragh last time and is another to consider.
An open and potentially strong listed event, with several arriving with potential. REGAL JUBILEE was so impressive at Windsor last time that she's worth taking a chance on, but the likes of Glimpsed and La Pasionaria both strike as formidable opponents.
The suggestion is BEAUTIFUL LOVE, unraced on soft ground but progressing nicely and likely to be suited by a good test at this trip.
(1) Checkandchallenge 6/1, Three-time winner, including a 1m Group 3, However, his form in 2023 has generally been a notch below the level he was at in 2022. 15l fourth on soft at Ascot latest but that was in 11-runner Group 1 Queen Elizabeth II.
3
2nd (3) (7/4 -7%) Pride Of America
1.75
7/4(-7%)
(3) Pride Of America 7/4, Much improved this term on the back of another breathing op, scoring at Chester in May and in John Smith's Cup at York. Turned in another good effort when second in 10f Ayr listed event last time and has obvious claims on that form. Having a very good season in big handicaps and with Listed 2nd; set for another bold show.
5
3rd (5) (3/1 +14%) Greek Order
3
3/1(+14%)
(5) Greek Order 3/1, Well-bred Kingman colt who made it 2 from 2 in handicaps in impressive style at Newbury (10f) in August. Lost very little in defeat in Cambridgeshire Handicap here (9f) last time and can go on improving. 2nd when all the rage for the Cambridgeshire here; 3yo who is very much on the upgrade.
6
4th (6) (20/1 -43%) Madame Ambassador
20
20/1(-43%)
(6) Madame Ambassador 20/1, Has taken form to a new level in landing a pair of C&D handicaps in recent months. This demands another chunk of improvement but she's clearly in excellent order at present. 3-3 on this track; bit more to prove in this grade and on worse than good to soft.
2
5th (2) (16/1 +36%) Claymore
16
16/1(+36%)
(2) Claymore 16/1, Quickly made up into a smart colt in 2022, the highlight of which was his success in the Group 3 Hampton Court at Royal Ascot. Reportedly bled on May's return to action but again folded tamely at Ascot 4 weeks ago. Plenty to prove. Plenty to like last season but beaten a long way on both runs this term.
4
6th (4) (16/5 +20%) Warren Point
3.2
16/5(+20%)
(4) Warren Point 16/5, Smart sort who enhanced an excellent strike rate when taking 15-runner listed contest at Sakhir in February. Backed that up with an excellent second at Doha next time but not quite at that level at Belmont the last twice. Freshened up since but testing ground is an unknown. Off 147 days; the biggest question mark comes from him being unraced on softer than good.
LTO Selection:
15:22 Newmarket Listed (Class 1) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Warren Point hasn't been seen since finishing down the field in the Manhattan at Belmont over the summer months, but the dual Listed winner ought to go well down in class. Pride Of America took another step forward when filling the runner-up berth in the Doonside Cup last time and is another that needs to be taken seriously, but preference is for CHECKANDCHALLENGE. Fourth in the QEII on Champions' Day a fortnight ago, he holds every chance on these terms and looks the one to beat.
PRIDE OF AMERICA has developed into a very smart performer this year and this looks a good opportunity for him to get off the mark in listed company. Greek Order has come a long way in quite a short space of time and can go on improving, with Warren Point also feared for all that he's unproven on slow ground.
The most solid option appears to be PRIDE OF AMERICA, who's having a fine season and that includes a win on soft ground.
(13) Dirtyoldtown 22/1, Probably needed the run on first outing since leaving Grant Tuer when down the field at Kempton last month but proved a let-down with headgear reapplied dropped to sprinting when last at Lingfield 3 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere. Soft-ground winner as 2yo; well treated on close 2nd in good 7f handicap last autumn.
18
2nd (18) (22/1 +33%) Shandy Star
22
22/1(+33%)
(18) Shandy Star 22/1, Made the frame for the first time this season at Doncaster last week but has yet to recapture her 2022 form. Others make more appeal. Three 6f wins as 2yo; this year isn't going so well and a non-stayer over 7f latest.
7
3rd (7) (4/1 +33%) Hodler
4
4/1(+33%)
(7) Hodler 4/1, Ploughed through the mud to win at Chester (7f) in May and got back on track when 2 lengths second of 7 to Marshal Dan in handicap at Leicester (7f, heavy) 18 days ago. Not taken lightly off the same mark. Acts well on soft; good 2nd in this race last year when 2lb higher; back to form latest.
8
4th (8) (14/1 -17%) Marlay Park
14
14/1(-17%)
(8) Marlay Park 14/1, Likeable type who resumed winning ways at Epsom in September. Recorded another good effort when runner-up there (7f) just under 5 weeks ago so needs considering. All best form over 7f at Epsom and has plenty to prove away from that track.
5
5th (5) (22/1 -57%) Love De Vega
22
22/1(-57%)
(5) Love De Vega 22/1, Bagged another couple of small field contests in August but found out off higher marks in deeper races since. Ground another major concern so he looks an easy swerve. Down the field in this race last year; two wins at 6f/7f in August; lesser efforts since.
9
6th (9) (12/1 +40%) Bernardo O'Reilly
12
12/1(+40%)
(9) Bernardo O'Reilly 12/1, Reliable sort who landed 6f Newbury handicap in April. Posted another solid effort when fourth of 25 in Ayr Silver Cup and probably remained in form having raced on the wrong part of the track when fifth at Haydock since. Suited by 6f on soft; third in this race (good) in 2021 but outstayed 12 months ago.
1
7th (1) (11/1 -38%) Marshal Dan
11
11/1(-38%)
(1) Marshal Dan 11/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time when capitalising on a reduced mark in 7-runner handicap at Leicester (7f, heavy) 18 days ago by 2 lengths from Hodler. Another bold showing is on the cards. Third in the 2018 running; back to form with ready 7f win latest; back up 5lb; thereabouts.
3
8th (3) (16/1 -129%) Hierarchy
16
16/1(-129%)
(3) Hierarchy 16/1, Returned to winning ways at Goodwood (6f, good to soft) in September and again ran well back up in grade when third at the same C&D (soft) just under 3 weeks ago. Remains well treated on old form, so he enters calculations. Major weights drop before 6f win in September; close 3rd since; first run at beyond 6f.
15
9th (15) (13/2 -8%) Hiromichi
6.5
13/2(-8%)
(15) Hiromichi 13/2, Proved better than ever when scoring for the third time this season in 16-runner handicap at Pontefract (8f, good to soft, 9/2) 26 days ago. Up 4 lb and looks capable of getting involved again. Triple winner over 1m in 2023; two wins at about 7f last year; one of the better options.
16
10th (16) (14/1 +44%) Ivory Madonna
14
14/1(+44%)
(16) Ivory Madonna 14/1, Wasn't disgraced in a change of headgear when bumping into one at Kempton (7f) 19 days ago. However, her merit is fully established so it's probably best to look elsewhere. Placed in Group races at 6f and 7f as 2yo but still winless and major ground query.
12
11th (12) (28/1 +15%) Little Boy Blue
28
28/1(+15%)
(12) Little Boy Blue 28/1, Showed a good attitude to score at Chepstow in June and largely in good form since, finishing a respectable fifth at Epsom last time. Not dismissed. Has won on soft but questionable whether testing ground brings out the best in him.
11
12th (11) (11/1 +17%) Hieronymus
11
11/1(+17%)
(11) Hieronymus 11/1, Long time without a win but did run well (seen to good advantage due to position/tactics) after 6 months off at Ascot last month. Not so good back on all-weather at Kempton 10 days later so will need to get back on track. Has 7f form on soft but on a long losing run and has yet to win on turf (0-16).
4
13th (4) (11/1 -50%) Repertoire
11
11/1(-50%)
(4) Repertoire 11/1, Course winner in May and having been freshened up by an 8-week break/dropped back down in the weights, was suited by way race developed when resuming winning ways at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) last month. Already shown his vulnerability off higher marks so others appeal more. Course winner at 1m in May; in good form; rarely races on ground slower than good to soft.
6
14th (6) (25/1 +0%) Bay Breeze
25
25/1(+0%)
(6) Bay Breeze 25/1, Three wins this year but has lost his form recently and others make more appeal. Remote last of nine in his sole start over 7f (last November) and out of sorts of late.
17
15th (17) (14/1 +0%) King Of Fury
14
14/1(+0%)
(17) King Of Fury 14/1, Looked the pick on form but couldn't run to the same level as his first 2 starts when runner-up at Leicester (7f, heavy) 18 days ago. Makes handicap debut and it remains early days. Promising in three 7f runs; type to progress further now handicapping; this looks tough.
14
16th (14) (5/1 +0%) Lunatick
5
5/1(+0%)
(14) Lunatick 5/1, Fairly useful colt who opened his account in a match at Brighton (1m) in September. Good second of 10 in handicap at Goodwood (8f, soft) just under 3 weeks ago so he ought to be in the shake-up once more. Off the mark in September; things haven't gone to plan since; return to 7f can suit.
10
17th (10) (66/1 -164%) Al Marmar
66
66/1(-164%)
(10) Al Marmar 66/1, Gained his sole win on turf at Ascot last July but below that level on 3 outings on the all-weather earlier this year. Ran poorly in a change of headgear when last seen at same course 6 months ago and has since switched yards (10,000 gns). Plenty to prove. All races at 1m; intriguing stable switch but trip and ground raise serious questions.
LTO Selection:
15:57 Newmarket Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A wide-open contest in which many are likely to have a say, but marginal preference is for MARSHAL DAN. Heather Main's charge was a commanding winner in first-time cheekpieces at Leicester last time and he looks weighted to go well once again, despite a 5lb in the handicap. Hodler (second) finished behind the selection that day but is entitled to get closer on revised terms. Handicap debutant King Of Fury retains plenty of potential and he must enter calculations, along with Hierarchy, Lunatick and Repertoire.
An ultra-competitive closer in which the vote goes to HODLER, who looked back to somewhere near his best when finding only Marshal Dan too strong at Leicester last month (raced on disadvantageous stand rail), and with conditions sure to pose no issues, Jim Boyle's 4-y-o gets the nod to double his tally for the year. Lunatick, Hiromichi, Hierarchy and the aforementioned Marshal Dan are just a handful of potential threats.

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.
