14:10 Salisbury Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

AMAYSMONT bounced back to form with a solid runner-up effort at Southwell recently and this return to turf could prove fruitful. Kevin Frost's charge has shown a liking for testing ground conditions in the past and the seven-year-old looks ready to capitalise racing off the same mark as last week. Triple course winner Luna Magic always warrants a second look at this venue and, despite this trip looking shorter than ideal, she's feared most. King Of Speed and Beau Jardine are also noted.

Veteran-mare LUNA MAGIC captured this prize in 2022 for Archie Watson/Brodie Hampson and is fancied to repeat the feat on the back of her good recent Lingfield second. King of Speed is another weighted to go well and heads the list of dangers, although Amaysmont and Voltaic also command plenty of respect in this very open handicap.

This can go to LUNA MAGIC who won this race off 1lb lower two years ago and has winning form in soft ground.

14:40 Salisbury Stakes (Class 3) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Betty Clover looked a useful prospect when making a winning debut at Bath last month and another bold bid is forecast from the daughter of Time Test. However, CONVO was slightly more impressive in her opening victory at Saint-Cloud in March and her proven effectiveness in arduous ground conditions edges the vote for Amy Murphy's filly. Running Queen is entitled to build on her Newbury fourth in April, while market support for newcomer Royal Equerry would be interesting.

CONVO was a wide-margin maiden winner under similar conditions at Saint-Cloud 6 weeks ago so shades the vote over Betty Clover, who clocked a decent time when beating a subsequent winner in good style at Bath. All 3 newcomers are in receipt of weight, with Royal Equerry looking the pick before market clues.

The choice is CONVO who relished the heavy ground when making a winning debut at Saint-Cloud. That could make all the difference.

3lb higher than when off the mark on stable debut at Bath; soft ground and 5f the question.

Front-runner who acts on any ground; lesser effort last time, but could get her own way.

15:20 Salisbury Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

A 2lb drop in the ratings could prove lenient for LIHOU, who caught the eye when a staying-on fifth at Epsom recently. A previous C&D winner, David Evans' veteran is now 9lb below his last winning mark and this class 5 contest looks ripe for the taking. Safari Dream posted a solid third at Windsor on Monday and he's feared most. Sub Thirteen made a winning stable bow at Bath last month and a 3lb higher mark is unlikely to prevent him being involved too.

SAFARI DREAM might have gone close with a clear run at Windsor on Monday and looks the way to go from the same mark. Sub Thirteen made the perfect start for Tony Carroll at Bath and is the obvious danger.

The vote goes to LIHOU (nap) who has dropped 9lb below his last winning mark and is 1-1 over C&D.

15:55 Salisbury Stakes (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Sanat caught the eye on his Newmarket debut, when getting in touch after starting slowly and then weakening late on over the mile having become unbalanced. Sure to have learned plenty from that experience, he could be the biggest danger to FAST SOCIETY, the only winner in the field. He made most of the running to hold off all challengers at Southwell last September and could be up to giving 5lb or more to today's opponents on his first start since being gelded. Jazz Scene and Questionable may prove best of the rest.

This doesn't look a strong novice so Southwell-winner FAST SOCIETY might be up to giving the weight away. Ever Driven wasn't disgraced in the valuable Convivial maiden at last year's York Ebor meeting and is second choice ahead of Sanat, who hinted at ability on his debut in the Wood Ditton at the Newmarket Craven meeting.

The choice is FAST SOCIETY who showed a good attittude when winning at Southwell last September.

16:30 Salisbury Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Kotari won cleverly last time out at Windsor over this trip and although 4lb higher in the handicap now, he should go well for Gary and Josh Moore. Hakuna Babe has 15 lengths to find with the selection on that run but is better than that and shouldn't be dismissed, although MILDYJAMA get the nod at these weights. Five lengths adrift of Kotari that day in sixth, cheekpieces are added for the first time here and, 5lb better off with the winner here, she looks to have every chance.

KOTARI had a couple of these behind when winning at Windsor last time and can follow up with Josh Moore now joining his father on the licence. Hakuna Babe was sent off favourite for that Windsor contest and can be given another chance having signed off last season with a win, with Mildyjama preferred of the remainder.

Ed Walker's HAKUNA BABE is the only runner proven under these conditions and she can leave her Windsor form behind.

17:05 Salisbury Maiden (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Based on what they have shown so far, both Wahoo King and Snow Eagle have plenty to find, so it can pay to focus on Sam Hawkens and MARHABA MILLION, with the latter suggested as the one to be with given he is the more stoutly-bred of the two. A respectable third behind a well-regarded Derby entrant and a nicely-bred debutant at Newbury 15 days ago, the selection got better the further he went that day and looks tailor-made for a crack at this slightly longer trip.

Almost certainly a match between SAM HAWKENS and Marhaba Million who both shaped with plenty of promise in different races at Newbury recently. Marginal preference is for the Hannon runner.

Marhaba Million was a very respectable third at Newbury last month, but SAM HAWKENS looked quite useful on his first two outings.

(6) Fravanco 11/1, Ran well when second at Kempton (12f) in February, but wasn't in the same form when sixth of 13 in handicap (9/2) at the same C&D 25 days ago. Bounce back called for returned to turf.
Second twice over 1m4f on AW during the winter and should be fine back on turf.

(4) Captain Haddock 14/1, Twenty runs since last win in 2021. After 6 months off, well below form when sixth of 7 in handicap at Doncaster (11.9f, soft, 17/2) 42 days ago. Drops in grade but return of blinkers needs to help spark a revival.
Ended last season with two heavy defeats and again disappointed on reappearance.

(8) Arthalot 20/1, Fourth at Bath in October but went backwards from that effort over hurdles on his next 3 starts. Fared no better back on the Flat when last of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, 20/1) in February. Has had wind op with blinkers reapplied.

(2) Looksee 40/1, Down the field both starts in bumpers and his third in minor event at Leicester on the Flat last summer remains a standout effort. After 6 months off, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Windsor (10f, good, 80/1) 20 days ago.
Placed at huge odds in a novice last summer but well down the field in both handicaps.

(1) Summer Gale 66/1, Making his third start over hurdles, ran poorly on first outing since leaving Mrs J. Harrington when pulled up in maiden at Fakenham (20f, heavy, 40/1) in December. Others more persuasive as he goes handicapping back on the Flat.
Ex-Irish maiden who struggled in a maiden hurdle on stable debut in December; too risky.

17:35 Salisbury Handicap (Class 6) 14f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Young Merlin holds no secrets form the handicapper but can figure back on the Flat off a competitive mark, while Fravanco is open to progress at this sort of trip and returns to turf off 1lb lower than his last winning mark on synthetics. However, CORSICAN CAPER looks the one to beat after skipping his scheduled engagement at Thirsk on Saturday. Kevin Frost's gelding arrives on a hat-trick after a pair of taking wins in the mud and he won with enough in hand over the extended 1m6f at Doncaster last weekend to suggest he can defy a 6lb rise for that victory.

WARRANTY shaped as if retaining his ability after a lengthy absence in a handicap hurdle at Newbury in March, so he's worth another chance to build on that effort from what looks a workable mark back on the level. Corsican Caper defied a penalty in good style at Doncaster last week, so is respected, with Young Merlin also considered.

This can go to YOUNG MERLIN, who did not enjoy a favourable tactical scenario when third on last month's return to the Flat.

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.
