14:00 Wetherby Stakes (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

LINGUA FRANCA made all in a similar race at Haydock on the last of her two starts as a juvenile and, given the form was significantly boosted by the runner-up winning a class 2 at Newmarket's Craven meeting, there is good reason to expect Sir Mark Presott's filly to cope with the 7lb penalty. Danielle is an obvious threat, despite being turned over at odds-on at Chelmsford 15 days ago, while Lady La Fay is a notable debutant.

A tricky opener to solve but it's hard to ignore the claims of DANIELLE, who took a big step forward stepped up in trip when pulling clear with a very-well-bred Godolphin filly at Chelmsford earlier this month so John & Thady Gosden's charge can go one better at the expense of Lingua Franca, who promises to have more to offer as a 3-y-o now stepping up to 1¼m. Debutante Lady La Fay can edge out Cabrera for third spot.

Switched to turf, well-bred DANIELLE should take another step forward. Lingua Franca is the chief threat on form.

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

The likes of Good Morning Alex, Shaws Phoenix and Nominal Event have all shown enough promise to suggest they have a race of this nature within their grasp. However, HAVANA PRINCE, who won off 1lb higher at Newcastle last September, made a pleasing return to turf when second at Catterick on Wednesday and, having done his best work near the finish that day, this step up in trip could be ideal.

SHAWS PHOENIX made a positive start for new trainer Alice Haynes when runner-up at Yarmouth a couple of weeks ago and can build on that and go one better now. Havana Prince will be a threat if reproducing the form she showed when runner-up at Catterick in midweek, while Good Morning Alex arrives on the back of a good spell on AW.

Preference is for SHAWS PHOENIX (nap), ahead of Good Morning Alex and Viridian.

15:00 Wetherby Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

GUNLOCK (second) won a maiden at Newcastle 20 days ago and, with the the promise of plenty more to come, this gelded son of Into Mischief is hard to ignore despite this being his debut run on turf. Both Eastvan and Cabrillo arrive on the back of long absences, so a bigger threat is posed by Gemstar (third), who was only half a length behind the selection when they met on the all-weather last month.

GUNLOCK looks yet another useful prospect for the Karl Burke stable and can see off Gemstar in what looks quite an interesting novice event.

The main contenders on 2024 form are switching to turf for the first time. GEMSTAR is first choice ahead of Extrication.

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

HARSWELL DUKE has been kept busy since disappointing in the Spring Mile at Doncaster last month. The latest of his efforts, which came off this mark at Pontefract on Monday, was an excellent second given that he bumped into an improver. With that in mind, this could be the day that the son of Garswood is able to regain the winning thread. Ey Up Its The Boss should step forward from his seasonal return at Ripon, while others to note include Admiral Nelson and Dream Pirate.

Lots with chances but HARSWELL DUKE can race off the same mark as when a very good recent Pontefract second so edges the vote. Course scorer Ey Up Its The Boss heads the list of dangers on the back of his solid Ripon second, while Admiral Nelson, Crownthorpe and Star Shield appeal as the pick of the remainder for minor honours.

The vote goes to HARSWELL DUKE, ahead of Ey Up Its The Boss who ties in closely with that rival on a line through Do I Dream.

16:05 Wetherby Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

A steadily progressive sort last season, MANILA SCOUSE finished a creditable fourth in 0-105 company at Doncaster in October. Eased 2lb in the ratings and dropped markedly in class ahead of his return, Tim Easterby's gelding could stamp his authority in these calmer waters. Illusionist is now 4lb higher than for his recent Ripon second but remains of interest, along with the likes of Mountain Warrior and Mythical Phoenix, who makes his debut for the Julie Camacho team.

GEMINI STAR looks capable of winning a handicap off her current mark and should prove all the better for her reappearance, so shades the vote over the in-form Illusionist, who is on a long losing run. Exalted Angel makes a rare turf appearance but he's potentially well treated on this surface so needs keeping an eye on.

A recent 4lb rise does not help ILLUSIONIST but he pulled nicely clear of the third when going close on both recent outings.

BALLYARE showed more when finishing fourth in a class 5 event at Doncaster on his return to turf last month and has been dropped 2lb for that display. The son of Hot Streak competes off a career-low mark and could be the one to beat. Special Mayson was a disappointing favourite over 6f at Yarmouth earlier in the month, but he is worth another chance off a 1lb lower rating. Phoenix Star completes the shortlist from his plum draw.

SPECIAL MAYSON made a respectable return at Yarmouth 2 weeks ago and went close off a similar mark at Newmarket in the summer, so earns the vote. Motawaazy and Canaria Queen are both lurking on dangerous marks so they need keeping an eye on.

Well-handicapped C&D winner BALLYARE took a step back in the right direction when returned to turf last month and might be the answer.

MY NOBLE LORD clearly strengthened over the winter after being gelded, as he put his poor form from last year well behind him when scoring comfortably on his handicap bow at Wolverhampton. Michael Bell's representative is 9lb higher, but this step up in trip could unlock even more improvement. Flowering has been really consistent this year without winning, but she remains on the same mark as for Thursday's Beverley second and is likely to be on the premises. Filibustering warrants a market check on his handicap debut.

MY NOBLE LORD returned an improved model after a gelding op when scoring comfortably at Wolverhampton and can defy a 9 lb rise in the weights at the chief expense of the handily-weighted Flowering. Sun Dancer Girl and Filibustering can have a say too in an open-looking handicap.

My Noble Lord and Flowering are obvious players on form, while SUN DANCER GIRL and The Crafty Mole are interesting types.

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.
