5
1st (5) Twilight Dancer (2/1 -60%)
Twilight Dancer

2
2/1(-60%)
(5) Twilight Dancer 2/1, Lightly-raced filly who took a marked step forward on just her second turf outing to score over 7f at Epsom (good to firm) last month. Went like the best horse at the weights when third over the same C&D (good to soft) next time and she remains of interest.
Good 7f win at Epsom but raced away from favoured strip when 3rd there since; solid claims.

2nd (2) Abbey's Dream (8.5/1 -89%)
Abbey's Dream

8.5
8.5/1(-89%)
(2) Abbey's Dream 8.5/1, Exclusively campaigned on synthetics so far, winning twice over 7f at Newcastle earlier this year. Didn't shape badly back from a 5-month break over that C&D recently and she could have a part to play if taking to turf at the first attempt.
Dual 7f winner on AW; just above winning mark; should handle turf on breeding.

3rd (1) Jenson Benson (5.5/1 +66%)
Jenson Benson

5.5
5.5/1(+66%)
(1) Jenson Benson 5.5/1, Four-time winner on the AW who posted his best effort on turf when fifth in a 12-runner handicap over a mile here back in August 2021. However, he hasn't shown much in 2 starts since returning from a break, including back on grass at Leicester a fortnight ago.
All 4 wins on AW; not himself since close 3rd in April, including on turf latest.
3
4th (3) Storymaker (2.75/1 +21%)
Storymaker

2.75
2.75/1(+21%)
(3) Storymaker 2.75/1, In the frame in all but one of her 6 career starts, finishing a respectable third in first-time cheekpieces at Epsom (7f, good to soft) last time. Eased 1 lb and still has time on her side but improvement needed if she's to open her account here.
Not obviously well treated in three handicaps so far, on AW and soft turf (about 7f).
6
5th (6) Revolutionary Man (5/1 +50%)
Revolutionary Man

5
5/1(+50%)
(6) Revolutionary Man 5/1, In good form during the spring, successful on the AW at Lingfield in May and went close on turf there and at Yarmouth later that month. Form has dipped the last twice but edging back down the weights and will be a threat granted a return to form.
All 5 wins on AW; 0-13 on turf but two near-misses in May; well held last twice.
4
6th (4) Diamond Cottage (9/1 +0%)
Diamond Cottage

9
9/1(+0%)
(4) Diamond Cottage 9/1, Multiple winner of 7f Brighton handicaps this season, the latest off a 1 lb lower mark in June. However, she failed to beat a rival home in a 10-runner handicap here last time, so needs to bounce back.
Three 7f wins at Brighton in 2023; below best last twice but does have C&D form.
LTO Selection:

13:45 Salisbury Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Abbey's Dream and TWILIGHT DANCER are both allotted a weight-for-age allowance and, while the former has shown a good level of ability on the all-weather, the latter is the more proven on turf and Jonathan Portman's filly looks the one to side with here. The selection has improved since being stepped up to 7f and she has the scope to build on what has been a sequence of decent efforts of late. Storymaker appeals most from the older brigade.

Though turned over at short odds at Epsom recently, TWILIGHT DANCER shaped like the best horse at the weights and she is taken to resume winning ways off the same mark with faster ground forecast here. If able to bounce back following a couple of low-key efforts, Revolutionary Man could emerge as the main danger ahead of turf debutante Abbey's Dream.

This can go to TWILIGHT DANCER (nap) who wasn't seen to best advantage at Epsom recently after a convincing win there previously.

LTO Selection:

14:15 Salisbury Stakes (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

MISTER SKETCH is built for speed on his dam's side of the pedigree and, having made a highly encouraging debut at Newbury last month, he could be hard to beat if taking a step forward here. Avoriaz is a half-brother to six winners and looks the most appealing of the newcomers, although Sedgemoor is another to note in the betting as he represents a team enjoying a solid season with their juveniles.

MISTER SKETCH was only just denied at Newbury on debut and can put that experience to good use over newcomers Avoriaz and Sedgemoor, who both look likely types.

Mill Reef entry MISTER SKETCH is the clear pick on form. Avoriaz and Sedgemoor are interesting newcomers.

LTO Selection:

14:45 Salisbury Stakes (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

This is potentially the deeper of the two divisions of this race, with Pianoforte, Flavour Maker and Ten Bob Tony all looking the part on paper, and the betting can be informative where that trio is concerned. However, FINBAR FUREY just shades preference given he is a full-brother to Pennine Hills, a 6f winner on debut as a juvenile, and Grizzel, a Grade 3-winning miler in Canada. The added bonus is his in-form yard's appealing strike-rate with their two-year-olds this season.

The pair with previous racecourse experience don't set a tall standard so it makes sense to focus on the newcomers, MOYASSR getting the nod to score first time up before the aid of market clues. Flavour Maker also ticks plenty of boxes so he's fancied to be involved, with Pianoforte and Finbar Furey another couple worth keeping a close eye on.

Judge Frank sets the standard but he takes on several interesting newcomers, most notably MOYASSR and Flavour Maker.

(1) Arabian Crown 2.12/1, €600,000 yearling, Dubawi colt. Brother to useful winner up to 1m Everest Rose and half-brother to several winners, including smart winner up to 1½m The Juliet Rose. Failed to justify short-price favouritism on debut at Sandown but made no mistake over same C&D 3 weeks later. More to come over 1m.

Overcame greenness to make a winning debut in 10-runner maiden at Newmarket a month ago. Had a bit in hand on that occasion and he's the one to beat up in trip.
Well-bred colt who tidily won a maiden at the Newmarket July festival; potentially smart.

(6) Son 6.5/1, Built on encouraging debut effort when taking 10-runner maiden at Newbury in June (6.5f) with a bit in hand. Fared about as well as could be expected in Group 2 company the last twice and this slightly easier tackling 1m for the first time.

Game at Yarmouth on debut; subsequent Listed defeats exposed his limitations a bit.
LTO Selection:

15:20 Salisbury Listed (Class 1) 8f Race Class Flow

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

ARABIAN CROWN built on his eye-catching third at Sandown in early July with a ready success at the same venue later in the month. Charlie Appleby's colt could prove tough to beat if reproducing that level of performance and gets the vote. There was plenty to like about Arabic Legend's debut triumph at Newmarket last month and the Dubawi colt can't be taken lightly, while Son ran well enough in the Vintage Stakes at Goodwood recently to suggest he can get involved here too.

Despite obvious signs of greenness, ARABIC LEGEND was talented enough to make a winning start with a bit in hand starting out at Newmarket a month ago. Sure to build on that over 1m, he can take the step up in class in his stride, probably at the chief expense of fellow-Dubawi colt Arabian Crown. Son is slightly more exposed but has tackled Group 2 company the last twice and he demands respect.

Newmarket July festival scorer ARABIC LEGEND is given the narrow vote, ahead of Sandown winners Arabian Crown and Spanish Poet.

LTO Selection:

15:55 Salisbury Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

LANDLORDTOTHESTARS appeared freshened up by a break when recording a second-placed effort at Newmarket last month and a 2lb rise may not be enough to prevent James Evans' gelding from going one place better. Paco's Pride has been running with credit at a similar level of late and should make her presence felt once more, while Racing Demon merits respect now returned to the C&D of his last success.

Preference is for LANDLORDTOTHESTARS, who was returning from 4 months off when just held in a stronger event at Newmarket last time and remains fairly treated. Paco's Pride and Racing Demon rate the principal dangers.

An open-looking race. The percentage call goes to RACING DEMON who scored in a higher grade here two starts ago.

(11) Karsavina 28/1, Landed 7f novice at Newmarket on debut last autumn and some quite useful efforts in defeat this term, including latest 1¾ lengths fifth of 11 to Mystic Pearl in listed race (14/1) at Sandown (1m, good). Up in trip.
May improve for the new trip (sire and dam were middle-distance performers).

(12) Liftoff 50/1, Dual novice winner last summer. Respectable 3¼ lengths sixth of 7 to Crack of Light in listed race at Longchamp (1½m, good) on reappearance in June. Off a further 2 months since. Running Lion looks the more obvious of the yard's pair.
Needs to produce a much bigger effort back on home soil.

(3) Queen Of The Skies 8/1, Useful sort who ran right up to her best when 3½ lengths fourth of 10 to Midnight Mile in listed race at York (1¼m, good) 19 days ago. More will be needed to win at this level, though.
Consistent efforts for new stable; could go well again.

(9) Embrace 33/1, Left debut form behind when comfortably off the mark at Wolverhampton (7f) in November. Progressed again when fourth in Fred Darling at Newbury (7f, heavy) on reappearance but well held in the 1000 Guineas and Sandringham at Royal Ascot since.
Has a lot to find on the figures and stamina to prove.

(10) Heavenly Breath 33/1, Runner-up at Group 3/listed level over 1m in France. Ran as well as could be expected when fifth in the Hoppings at Newcastle (1¼m) in June but dropped away tamely in the Aphrodite at Newmarket since. Blinkers off, cheekpieces back on.
Rather exposed now and record stands at 1-8.

(6) Zenga 40/1, Useful sort who disappointed when behind reopposing stablemate Ameynah at Ascot last time but had shaped quite well when fourth in a Pontefract listed race prior to that.
Faces a stiff task on ratings, back up in distance.
LTO Selection:

16:30 Salisbury Listed (Class 1) 10f Race Class Flow

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

RUNNING LION has scored in four of her last five outings, including when bolting up in Listed company at Newmarket on her penultimate run in May. She contested much deeper waters in France last time out and although that looked a step too far, she is fancied to bounce back to winning form at this level. Ameynah remains unexposed and was not disgraced when finishing fourth in the Valiant Stakes at Ascot last month, so she gets the danger vote ahead of State Occasion. Caernarfon has held her own at the highest level and is another to consider.

CAERNARFON has performed with credit in a trio of fillies' Group 1s this year and might be able to resume winning ways in these slightly calmer waters. Pretty Polly winner Running Lion is better than she showed in the French Oaks and can bounce back and provide the chief threat ahead of Ameynah and State Occasion.

Back down in class, CAERNARFON could well gain reward for some creditable efforts at Group 1 level. Ameynah is second choice.

Good spell in June/July; two subsequent efforts suggest he has gone off the boil.

Has shown signs that she's up to winning a modest race but may need soft ground.

Pulled up (lost action) on debut for new stable; best watched.
LTO Selection:

17:00 Salisbury Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Always Fearless recorded a staying-on success over a mile at this track last Thursday and is expected to be thereabouts if anywhere near that form. However, he does have to shoulder a 5lb penalty for that win, so it could pay to side with the improving CHEERS BABE. Only narrowly denied at Lingfield earlier this month, Ian Williams' inmate likely has more to offer in the hands of William Buick. Trojan Truth is another to bear in mind.

ALBUS ANNE remains winless but rates just the pick of these weights so edges the vote in a trappy handicap. Always Fearless appeals as the main threat on the back of his breakthrough turf win here, although a solid case can also be made for Trojan Truth and Nivelle's Magic.

Preference is for the unexposed CHEERS BABE, who should build on her Lingfield effort. Always Fearless is feared most.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
