14:02 Ripon Maiden (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

HUSCAL performed with plenty of credit when finishing sixth in a warm Goodwood maiden last month and, with the promise of improvement to come, he gets the vote to land the spoils at the second time of asking. Cape Sovereign chased homed two potentially useful types when third over 6f at Redcar last month and he can give the selection most to think about. Calibos appears to be the pick of the Richard Fahey-trained duo and he is respected most out of the remainder on his debut.

HUSCAL shaped best of the newcomers when finishing midfield in a Goodwood maiden (6f) 4 weeks ago and, with progress anticipated, Charlie Hills's colt is fancied to build on that and come out on top. Cape Sovereign may emerge as the chief threat, with newcomer Calibos and Keats House ,who shaped encouragingly on debut at York, others to keep an eye on.

Charlie Hills' Saxon Warrior colt HUSCAL shaped well on his debut when sixth at Goodwood and with that form franked he gets the nod here

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

This looks a good opportunity for SLANEY SWAGGER to put his experience to good use and gain a breakthrough victory. The son of Profitable made a pleasing start to life with Alice Haynes when finishing third over 1m1f at Hamilton earlier this month and, with the likelihood of more to come in first-time cheekpieces, he looks the one to side with. North Summit didn't cut much ice when finishing down the field over a mile at Chelmsford on his debut recently, but he merits a second look with improvement expected now stepped up in trip. Sir Edward Lear looks the pick of the newcomers and he completes the shortlist.

SLANEY SWAGGER was below the pick of the form he showed in Ireland when third in a maiden at Hamilton (9.2f) 2 weeks ago but that run ought to have blown the cobwebs away and he's selected to come out on top. This isn't a strong race of its type, and newcomer Sir Edward Lear may emerge as the chief threat before the benefit of market clues.

Preference here is for SIR EDWARD LEAR who appeals on paper and is taken to make a winning start for the excellent James Owen team

Shadow Army was last seen finishing down the field in the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh earlier this month, and he must be of interest with his sights lowered here. That said, preference is for the progressive SOLDIER'S HEART. The son of Havana Grey posted a low-key effort in the Group 3 Molecomb Stakes over 5f at Goodwood on his penultimate start, but he bounced back when scoring comfortably over C&D recently and he gets the vote to land the spoils in what should be an informative affair. Benevento and Preanka both impressed when winning on debut and are also noteworthy.

A trappy sprint in which the vote goes to SHADOW ARMY, who was far from disgraced pitched into Group 1 company when fourth at the Curragh just over a fortnight ago so with more severe headgear reached for, Richard Fahey's colt can double his tally back in this grade (sent off favourite in Windsor Castle) at the expense of Soldier's Heart, who bolted up over C&D last time. Spirit of Leros opened his account at Newbury recently and rounds off the shortlist.

The Crisfords have an excellent record in this Listed event and their progressive C&D scorer SOLDIER'S HEART (nap) looks the way to go.

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

The progressive Debora's Dream made most of the running to land a double last month, but may he well be taken on for the lead by Windsor runner-up Love De Vega today, and that could set the race up nicely for MAJOR PARTNERSHIP. Saeed bin Suroor's veteran is having his first start of the year, though has gone well fresh on more than on occasion in the past, and is only 3lb higher than when successful in this grade at Nottingham last summer.

A useful handicap that can go to PADISHAKH, well treated on his best French form and who might be set for a full revival after showing more at Thirsk fitted with a tongue tie. Hat-trick seeking 3-y-o Debora's Dream is a big player, while the returning Major Partnership can also go well.

This can go to DEBORA'S DREAM who looks a most progressive 3yo and is taken to complete a hat-trick.

STRONG JOHNSON won twice at this time last year, including a victory over this course a distance. Paul Midgley's sprinter races off a 7lb lower mark today and recent placed efforts suggest a return to winning ways is imminent. He looks to have most to fear from recent Musselburgh runner-up Our Absent Friends, given both Ingleby Archie and High Opinion have looked in the grip of the handicapper since landing doubles during the summer.

STRONG JOHNSON's losing run is mounting up but he's lurking on a handy mark as a result and following solid placed efforts on each of his last 2 starts, he could be worth siding with from a handy draw. Woobay, if shrugging off a lesser effort, and 3-y-o Scoops Ahoy also command a second look, as does Our Absent Friends, who has gone close on 2 of his last 3 starts.

Woobay and Our Absent Friends are high on the list but STRONG JOHNSON is eased slightly in grade and can come out on top.

Stepping back up in trip looks like a good move for KEEN INTEREST, having been outpaced late on when not beaten far over 1m at Yarmouth last week following a 1m3f success at Yarmouth. Alice Haynes' charge seems well treated by the conditions of this contest, and it may be that Laudable gives him the most to think about following a taking success at Ayr when having his first go at this distance. Peripeteia and Tiberio Force are likely to be thereabouts as well.

PERIPETEIA might prove the answer at a venue where she's tasted success before. Keen Interest is a 3-y-o who arrives in form and is feared most ahead of Going Underground and Laudable.

Philip Kirby's C&D scorer PERIPETEIA is taken to resume winning ways on the back of his very good Catterick third last time out

A determined winner over further at Yarmouth last month in a classified stakes contest that has worked out well since, SHIELD OF HONOUR looks more than capable of following up in this amateur jockeys' contest from a plum inside draw. Masque Of Anarchy almost ended a long losing streak when narrowly denied at Beverley last time out and he is entitled to be thereabouts again. Others to note include Chicago al, Edwina Sheeran and Irv.

MASQUE OF ANARCHY can gain compensation for his Beverley near miss and win this race for the second time in the last 3 years. Irv, Chicago Gal and Shield of Honour head the dangers.

Craig Lidster's MASQUE OF ANARCHY looks primed for a bold showing on the back of his good Beverley second last time out so gets the nod

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.
