1st (11) Tele Red (4.5/1 +10%)
Tele Red

4.5
4.5/1(+10%)
(11) Tele Red 4.5/1, Opened his account for the season back down in trip in 6-runner handicap at Haydock (8f, good to soft) last week. Escapes a penalty for that, so has to be of interest in his follow-up bid.
Unpenalised for last week's Haydock win but this is a higher grade; still respected.
2
2nd (2) Hartswood (5/1 +0%)
Hartswood

5
5/1(+0%)
(2) Hartswood 5/1, Endured a disappointing 2022 but mark tumbled as a result and he capitalised on his return at Thirsk (1m) in May, suited by the way the race developed. Ran well when fourth at Pontefract 9 weeks later and remains on a handy mark.
Has come a long way down the weights and things are picking up again.
8
3rd (8) Dungar Glory (10/1 -11%)
Dungar Glory

10
10/1(-11%)
(8) Dungar Glory 10/1, Returned from a break in top form, landing back-to-back handicaps in June. Quickly put a below-par display behind him when fourth at Ripon last week but has little in hand from his present mark.
No excuses back at Ripon last time and it might be asking a lot to make all in this.
3
4th (3) Clear Angel (3.33/1 +49%)
Clear Angel

3.33
3.33/1(+49%)
(3) Clear Angel 3.33/1, Capitalised on a marked drop in grade when resuming winning ways at Wetherby (1m) in April and proved better than ever in following up at Carlisle (7.8f) 8 weeks later, suited by emphasis on stamina. Of interest in his hat-trick bid if the ground doesn't dry out too much.
Closely matched with Strongbowe on their 1-2 at Carlisle last month; raised 4lb.
5
5th (5) Strongbowe (18/1 -80%)
Strongbowe

18
18/1(-80%)
(5) Strongbowe 18/1, Enhanced a good record at Carlisle when landing 5-runner handicap there (7.8f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Ought to remain competitive.
Well beaten in two previous visits to this venue but he returns in form.
12
6th (12) Golden Melody (5.5/1 +31%)
Golden Melody

5.5
5.5/1(+31%)
(12) Golden Melody 5.5/1, Has fallen in the weights and confirmed her return to form when second of 12 in 1m handicap at Ripon (soft) 6 days ago. Merits consideration from same mark.
Trip/ground is ideal and she heads here after a couple of seconds; on the shortlist.
4
7th (4) Sucellus (66/1 -100%)
Sucellus

66
66/1(-100%)
(4) Sucellus 66/1, Unpredictable sort who ended 2022 on a high when scoring at Wolverhampton in October. Has yet to fire this season, though latest run at Haydock is best excused (slipped on home turn).
Out of sorts this season and has mostly steered clear of softish ground.
6
8th (6) Super Den (14/1 +22%)
Super Den

14
14/1(+22%)
(6) Super Den 14/1, Successful 3 times on all-weather during the winter and shaped as if better for the run back on turf after 5 months off when eighth of 13 in handicap at this course (10.2f, good) 14 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Not dismissed back down in trip.
All wins on AW; has respectable turf form but probably best to turn elsewhere.
9
9th (9) Ey Up Its The Boss (7/1 +22%)
Ey Up Its The Boss

7
7/1(+22%)
(9) Ey Up Its The Boss 7/1, Completed a hat-trick in 2022. Hasn't added to his tally since but turned in his best effort of the season when runner-up in 1m handicap at Ripon 18 days ago. Considered from 2 lb higher.
Second at Ripon latest but he's no good thing to repeat that form on this softer surface.
1
10th (1) Phantasy Mac (28/1 -75%)
Phantasy Mac

28
28/1(-75%)
(1) Phantasy Mac 28/1, Improver in handicaps last year, bagging fifth career victory on final start at Kempton (1m) in October. Below par initially this year but has performed with credit on her last 3 starts, including back on turf at Pontefract (1m) last time. Wears first-time blinkers.
Below par on her only previous soft-ground start but has form claims; blinkers new.
7
11th (7) Nikovo (33/1 -267%)
Nikovo

33
33/1(-267%)
(7) Nikovo 33/1, Verging on useful in France. Has yet to match that form on these shores but it's still too soon to be writing him off. Wears first-time cheekpieces.
Mark has dropped again and cheekpieces go on, so not entirely discounted.
13
12th (13) Absolute Dream (28/1 -27%)
Absolute Dream

28
28/1(-27%)
(13) Absolute Dream 28/1, Looked to be coming to the boil when third at Thirsk in early June but has been below form both starts since.
Disappointing this season with the exception of one respectable effort; others safer.
10
13th (10) English Spirit (25/1 -79%)
English Spirit

25
25/1(-79%)
(10) English Spirit 25/1, Showed a good attitude to resume winning ways at Wolverhampton in March. Mixed bag since but return to this trip looks a good move.
Both wins have come on the AW at Wolverhampton and needs a faster surface on turf.
LTO Selection:

17:00 York Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

TELE RED put a costly Newbury defeat behind him when successful at Haydock last week and as that came in an apprentices' race, he escapes a penalty, meaning he is able to compete off 5lb lower than his revised rating. He can take full advantage, although Golden Melody is also well-in following her Ripon second and heads a list of dangers that includes in-form pair Clear Angel and Strongbowe, who fought out a Carlisle finish.

TELE RED escapes a penalty for last week's win at Carlisle, so he's the percentage call to follow up, though there are plenty of interesting ones in opposition, including Hartswood, a previous C&D winner, who's still on a very handy mark on the pick of his form. Hat-trick seeker Clear Angel and Nikovo are others to consider.

Plenty of these can be expected to run well in a competitive opener. HARTSWOOD is back in good order off his reduced mark.

1st (4) Quest For Fun (9/1 -20%)
Quest For Fun

9
9/1(-20%)
(4) Quest For Fun 9/1, Lightly raced for current yard and stepping back in the right direction, third at Doncaster last time. On a handy mark, so can't be ruled out.
Third at Doncaster last time and another 1lb lower here; each-way possible.
10
2nd (10) Challet (6.5/1 -95%)
Challet

6.5
6.5/1(-95%)
(10) Challet 6.5/1, Won twice here last year and is becoming well handicapped. Shaped better than the result when sixth at Beverley last time, so capable of making an impact with a good pace on the cards.
Hasn't been at his best for a while but on a reduced mark and has really good record here.
5
3rd (5) Ascot Adventure (4.5/1 +55%)
Ascot Adventure

4.5
4.5/1(+55%)
(5) Ascot Adventure 4.5/1, Not long with this stable and has returned to form lately, finishing second at Musselburgh 3 days ago. Can make his presence felt if the race doesn't come too soon.
Placed the last twice (including C&D) and every chance he'll be bang there.
1
4th (1) Riot (8.5/1 -6%)
Riot

8.5
8.5/1(-6%)
(1) Riot 8.5/1, Produced his best effort for some time to pick up his second win of the campaign at Doncaster recently. Still well treated on old form, so likely to put up another solid showing.
Two good C&D runs this year & won at Doncaster two weeks ago; could be involved once more.
2
5th (2) No Nay Nicki (4.5/1 +10%)
No Nay Nicki

4.5
4.5/1(+10%)
(2) No Nay Nicki 4.5/1, Becoming well treated and got back on track when runner-up in a 16-runner event her last time. Threatening to come good, so worth taking a chance on.
Second of 16 over C&D last month (albeit well beaten) and she's a solid contender.
12
6th (12) Doctor Khan Junior (8/1 -14%)
Doctor Khan Junior

8
8/1(-14%)
(12) Doctor Khan Junior 8/1, C&D winner in May who backed it up with creditable fourth of 16 in handicap here (7f, good to firm) 29 days ago. Not fully exposed and likely to go well again.
Won big-field C&D handicap in May then failed to settle when fourth here last time.
9
7th (9) Cliffcake (22/1 -10%)
Cliffcake

22
22/1(-10%)
(9) Cliffcake 22/1, Successful at Beverley in May and has remained in form since. Likely to find one or two better handicapped but he should give his running again.
Only fifth at Doncaster last time but running well previously and might not be far away.
11
8th (11) Sun Power (33/1 -83%)
Sun Power

33
33/1(-83%)
(11) Sun Power 33/1, Dual winner at 7f for Darryll Holland in 2021. Generally at least respectable efforts this season and small yard had a couple of winners last week.
Fair 6f run here latest and not ruled out now back up in trip for his in-form yard.
15
9th (15) Golden Apollo (28/1 +15%)
Golden Apollo

28
28/1(+15%)
(15) Golden Apollo 28/1, Course winner. Has lacked consistency this season but well capable from this mark on his day, so not a forlorn hope.
Mark continues to fall but this 9yo has been soundly beaten more often than not this year.
3
10th (3) Award Dancer (25/1 +0%)
Award Dancer

25
25/1(+0%)
(3) Award Dancer 25/1, Ex-Irish gelding who was steadily improving for this stable prior to a poor run at Carlisle last time. Might well bounce back.
Of interest on last year's form but beaten a long way on last month's return at Carlisle.
17
11th (17) Ahamoment (50/1 -25%)
Ahamoment

50
50/1(-25%)
(17) Ahamoment 50/1, Scored twice in June but tame effort in bid for the hat-trick at Musselburgh last time. Likely to face competition for the lead, and others make more appeal.
Won two in a row last month but disappointing at Musselburgh most recently.
16
12th (16) Devilwala (50/1 +0%)
Devilwala

50
50/1(+0%)
(16) Devilwala 50/1, Struggling for form and handicapper isn't relenting at present, so others make more appeal.
Well beaten the last twice and the first-time tongue-tie needs to prompt a revival.
8
13th (8) Thunder Roar (6.5/1 +54%)
Thunder Roar

6.5
6.5/1(+54%)
(8) Thunder Roar 6.5/1, Lightly-raced gelding who returned to form, on yard debut, when taking 11-runner handicap at Ayr in July. Not seen to best effect there last time and remains relatively unexposed.
7f win on stable debut then mid-division over 6f; may have more to offer now back up to 7f.
14
14th (14) Archduke Ferdinand (9/1 +44%)
Archduke Ferdinand

9
9/1(+44%)
(14) Archduke Ferdinand 9/1, Bagged his first win in UK when narrowly taking 11-runner handicap at Musselburgh earlier this month (final outing for Tracy Waggot) and performed with credit when third at Ayr 4 days ago. Could be involved if the race doesn't come too soon.
Third over 1m at Ayr on recent stable debut and might not be far away now back down to 7f.
13
15th (13) Park Street (20/1 +20%)
Park Street

20
20/1(+20%)
(13) Park Street 20/1, Upped his game to score at Beverley in June and backed it up with a solid showing there 10 days ago. Others look better treated but he should give another good account.
Capitalised on reduced mark at Beverley and fair third there since; has an each-way squeak.
6
16th (6) Follow Your Heart (28/1 +0%)
Follow Your Heart

28
28/1(+0%)
(6) Follow Your Heart 28/1, In rude health on the AW earlier this year, winning 3 handicaps on the bounce over 7f. Below form back on turf last time, however, and he's likely to find this too competitive.
Well beaten at Chester last month after a break but on a handy mark and not written off.
7
17th (7) Motagally (66/1 -100%)
Motagally

66
66/1(-100%)
(7) Motagally 66/1, Big step back in the right direction when second over C&D on penultimate outing but faild to back it up here last time. Others preferred.
Good second of 19 over C&D in May but well beaten over C&D either side of that.
LTO Selection:

17:30 York Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

QUEST FOR FUN (third) finished under two lengths behind Riot, with Cliffcake (fifth) on his latest outing at Doncaster and he is 3lb better off on this occasion, which could see him turn the tables on his rival. The son of Lope De Vega is now 4lb lower than his last winning mark, so he looks feasibly treated to go very close. Ascot Adventure has put in some solid displays of late and could have a say after his second at Musselburgh.

NO NAY NICKI signalled that she's back in form when runner-up here last time and, from a reduced mark, she's worth a chance to go one better at the possible expense of Riot, who scored with a bit in hand at Doncaster recently. The lightly-raced Doctor Khan Junior is another one to consider.

The filly NO NAY NICKI possesses some good C&D form and she is the selection ahead of the well-handicapped Challet.

Nice pedigree and trainer likes to introduce some of his better 2yos at this venue.

Overlooked

6
6/1(+14%)
(5) Overlooked 6/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 10 at Sandown (7f, good, 22/1) 21 days ago. More needed.
Not beaten far in good novices the last twice; big player if coping with softer ground.
11

Polly The Rocket

14

Showed speed over Pontefract's 6f last week before weakening into third; has ability.

Weak in the betting at Haydock (7f; 28-1) and dropped out to finish last.

6th in a nursery here latest; vulnerable to improvers but unlikely to be far away.

6.5
6.5/1(-63%)
(10) Bella Wella 6.5/1, 4,000 gns foal, Land Force filly. Dam 1½m-13.3f winner out of smart 1¼m-1½m winner Briolette. 6/1, won 6-runner maiden at Carlisle (6.9f, good to soft) on debut 15 days ago, staying on well. That was a thin race but she did it well and can't be ruled out with her sights raised here.
Lost lengths at the start so did well to lead when it mattered at Carlisle; promising.
LTO Selection:

18:05 York Stakes (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow

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

A comfortable winner in maiden company on her debut earlier this month, BELLA WELLA could be worth siding with stepping up in class. She left the impression that there would be more to come on that occasion and she is taken to get the better of Polly The Rocket, who finished a fair third over 6f at Pontefract on her racecourse bow. Sailthisshipalone finished a staying-on fourth that day and cannot be ruled out either.

This could go to a newcomer and before market clues LOOSE CANNON gets the vote as he makes plenty of appeal on paper for a yard that enjoys plenty of success here. Apiarist is another expensive debutant to note, while Bella Wella is entitled to build on her Carlisle success and could shake things up.

The newcomers are interesting but OVERLOOKED hasn't been too far away in decent-looking novices of late and this does look easier.

Manila Scouse

5
5/1(+55%)
(4) Manila Scouse 5/1, Low mileage for a 4-y-o sprinter and not for the first time this year he shaped up well when second at Ayr (6f, good to soft) on penultimate start 18 days ago. Raced closer to the pace than ideal back at that venue since and better showing not ruled out.

(7) Little Muddy 5.5/1, Dual winner already this campaign and she pulled clear of the remainder when finding only Roundhay Park too strong in a C&D handicap 2 weeks ago. Mark has crept up 2 lb but she's a reliable type and ought to go well again.
Career best when 2nd to Roundhay Park over C&D recently; should be involved again.

Sir Maxi

6.5

(16) Sir Maxi 6.5/1, Lower in weights than he's ever been and confirmed more positive signs from Beverley when successful at Pontefract (6f) 7 days ago, a well-run race/drop in trip serving him well. Competitive from higher marks previously so not ruled out under a penalty.
Powered home at Pontefract last week on the drop back to 6f; sound claims under penalty.

(3) Cooperation (6.5/1 -63%)
Cooperation

Ran well against a draw and pace bias at Haydock latest; conditions fine; one to consider.

3lb well-in and Oisin Murphy booked; behind a few of these here 13 days ago but e-w claims.

Muscika

(10) Muscika 9/1, C&D winner who added another 3 AW victories to his tally from marks in the 70's over the winter. Mixed bag on turf in recent months but eased in weights and bounced back to form when fourth behind Roundhay Park recently.
4th to Roundhay Park over C&D latest; on a dangerous mark; enters calculations.

In good form of late but this looks a competitive spot in which to end his barren spell.

(1) Roundhay Park (10/1 +0%)
Roundhay Park

10
10/1(+0%)
(1) Roundhay Park 10/1, Eased in weights and doubled tally for the season when landing 16-runner C&D handicap 13 days ago, nicely on top of remainder with re-opposing Little Muddy. Hit with a 4 lb rise for that success and he wouldn't be certain to arrive here in same form.
Has conditions to suit and won well over C&D 13 days ago; up 4lb but a solid contender.
8
(8) Le Beau Garcon (12/1 +14%)
Le Beau Garcon

12
12/1(+14%)
(8) Le Beau Garcon 12/1, Dual winner as a juvenile and he's been shaping up well of late, noted staying on final 1f when fourth in 18-runner handicap here (5f) 2 weeks ago. Remains pretty low-mileage and worth another crack at this trip on that evidence.
Losing run continues but the ability is there if return to 6f sparks something.

(2) Cairn Gorm 12/1, Gelded/had wind op and returned with good fourth at Windsor (6f) last month and did as well to finish as close as he did when third at Doncaster (6f) 4 weeks ago, pulling hard early but staying on. Has fallen to a career-low mark and not underestimated for shrewd stable.
Two promising runs this year and set to go well with conditions to suit.
17

(17) Kats Bob 22/1, Twice a winner in 6f handicaps last term and steadily returned to form this time around, best effort for some time when second at Hamilton (6f) 4 weeks ago. Comes here operating from last winning mark but this a higher grade than she usually contests.
Good second last time but in Class 6 company; much more on his plate today.
11

(11) Bellagio Man 25/1, Exploits mixed since resuming winning ways at Southwell (6f) in February but lower in weights on turf and returned to form when third at Haydock (6f) 7 days ago, keeping on final 1f. However, his habit of missing the break tempers enthusiasm.
Should be well treated off his lower turf mark but that hasn't proved the case this summer.

33/1(+18%)
(9) Object 33/1, Winless since 2021 and whilst he proved he retains his ability when third at Thirsk (5f) in May, he's not been able to replicate that level either outing since, well held at Beverley early on last month.
One good run for this yard in May; not in the same form twice since; others safer.

(18) Hurstwood 40/1, Not seen to best effect on first 2 starts this season but firmly back on track when landing 11-runner Ripon handicap (6f) in June. Hard to knock his efforts in defeat from inflated mark since but he'll need to pull out more to play a lead role in this deeper affair.
6f win at Ripon last month came in a Class 6; likely to be vulnerable in this grade.

On a winning mark but she made a low-key reappearance and this looks too competitive.

Capable on AW but 0-10 on turf; quiet at Wolverhampton on Tuesday; others safer.
LTO Selection:

18:40 York Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

The race in which Roundhay Park (winner), Little Muddy (second), Muscika (third) and Oso Rapido (fourth) competed in here 13 days is a strong reference point and each is considered with similar ground conditions forecast. The last-named of that quartet appeals most on the revised terms and could provide a bit of value in his attempt at turning the form around. However, LE BEAU GARCON has also shaped up nicely in recent efforts and returning to 6f could provide the key to unlocking further success.

Having added to his tally at Thirsk in April, COOPERATION confirmed he's still very much one to be interested in when doing best of those drawn high when fourth at Haydock (6f) in June and, most consistent for this yard and versatile as regards ground, he earns the vote to confirm his present mark well within reach. Oso Rapido, following his good second at Catterick 9 days ago, rates the lead threat under Oisin Murphy. Ramiro and Le Beau Garcon complete the shortlist.

Cooperation looks booked for another big run but SIR MAXI powered home dropped to 6f last week and he can follow up.

(8) Queen For You 2.75/1, Won on her debut in striking fashion at Ascot in May and improved significantly on that form when close second in listed race here (7.9f) 16 days later. Not disgraced in Coronation Stakes since and looks worth a crack at this longer trip.

In good form in 1m2f handicaps for new yard but has to produce something extra here.

Respectable Listed performances the last twice but needs a sizeable step forward here.
LTO Selection:

19:15 York Listed (Class 1) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Queen For You was only narrowly denied in Listed company over a mile here in May and followed that up with a respectable effort in the Coronation at Royal Ascot. The daughter of Kingman has to be respected but marginal preference is for ELECTRIC EYES. Karl Burke's filly created a big impression when chasing home subsequent Fillies' Mile winner Commissioning in the Rockfel last year. Her pedigree suggests that she may be better as a three-year-old and should relish this step up in trip. Others to consider are Midnight Mile, Golden Lyra and Long Ago.

SPARKS FLY has been a revelation in recent months and is taken to record her biggest success yet. Golden Lyra was well below her best on her Nottingham return but rates the biggest danger nonetheless, whilst the drop back in trip will suit Midnight Mile and she is also much respected.

The 3yo SPARKS FLY has landed a handicap six-timer and there can be optimism she will take this rise in grade in her stride.

Makes stable debut after absence but on a competitive mark and yard is among the winners.
LTO Selection:

19:50 York Handicap (Class 2) 10f Race Class Flow

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

SPIRIT DANCER was far from disgraced when finishing eighth from a wide draw in the John Smith's Cup over C&D recently and this appears a suitable opportunity for the Richard Fahey-trained gelding to notch a first success of the season. Box To Box arrives in good heart and appears the main threat despite the rise in class, while Brunch is dangerous to discount and can go well if seeing out this stiffer test.

SPIRIT DANCER should find this a bit easier than the John Smith's Cup a couple of weeks ago and can land this race for the second year running. Box To Box arrives on trhe back of some good efforts at Chester and is feared most ahead of Brunch, who is a potential class act but has stamina to prove.

C&D regular SPIRIT DANCER (nap) can win this for the second consecutive season. Brunch could be the chief threat.

Has struggled on both runs this summer and a major turnaround is needed.
LTO Selection:

20:20 York Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Kokomo is likely to be popular on her handicap debut and the first-time hood, along with a drop to the minimum distance, may bring out further improvement. The vote, though, goes to KNEBWORTH, who benefited from a change to more positive tactics when scoring at Haydock last week and he is taken to back that performance up, despite carrying a 6lb penalty. Honour Your Dreams, Betweenthesticks and Star Of Lady M are others likely to be in the mix.

HONOUR YOUR DREAMS impressed with how he travelled when scoring over the minimum trip at Hamilton last week and is taken to follow up. Knebworth and Kokomo rate the principal dangers in a competitive finale.

The visor has had a positive effect on HONOUR YOUR DREAMS and he is taken to defy a 6lb penalty for last Thursday's win at Hamilton.

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.
