13:40 Sligo Maiden 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Fozzy Stack has made a bright start to the season and may get another winner on the board with KATIE BAIRDIE. The well bred daughter of No Nay Never travelled well on the front end for a long way before finishing third over 7f at Cork and may be suited by dropping back in trip. She handled heavy ground well on that seasonal reappearance. Oh So Bright hasn't been beaten far in two recent all-weather outings. Having shown a tendency to race freely, the fitting of a hood may help on turf debut. Andy Oliver has a good record at this venue and Marble Angel, who showed promise at Dundalk in December, looks the pick of his two runners.

KATIE BAIRDIE left her debut well behind when third at Cork on return and looks the one to beat in a weak maiden. Oh So Bright is a clear next best, though Marble Angel did offer something to work on starting out at Dundalk in December.

KATIE BAIRDIE (nap) gets the vote after giving the impression she may improve for a drop in distance at Cork last time

1st (2) Friendly Soul (10/1 -54%)
Friendly Soul

10/1(-54%)
(2) Friendly Soul 10/1, Kingman half-sister to numerous winners, including very smart 1½m-2½m winner Call The Wind. Perfect start in 1m Kempton fillies' maiden in December, kept up to work under just hand riding and looking a smart prospect. More to come and 1 of 2 fillies for yard that have won 6 of the last 10 runnings.
Late foal with fine pedigree; tenacious winner of a maiden at Kempton (1m, AW) in December.

2nd (4) Kalpana (4/6 +64%)
Kalpana

4/6(+64%)
(4) Kalpana 4/6, Overcame inexperience to make a winning debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in January and continued improvement when slamming 8 rivals on handicap/turf debut over C&D at the Craven Meeting, forging clear from 2f out. Open to further progress and leading claims.
Plenty of promise on AW before routing her rivals in C&D handicap; the best form in this.

3rd (5) Kitteridge (22/1 -100%)
Kitteridge

22/1(-100%)
(5) Kitteridge 22/1, Confirmed debut promise in the manner of a useful prospect when landing Newcastle fillies' maiden over this trip 10 weeks ago, hitting the line strongly. Should have lots more to offer switched to turf now.
2nd and 1st in two 1m2f AW races early this year; much more required but she's promising.
4
4th (7) Strutting (14/1 +0%)
Strutting

14/1(+0%)
(7) Strutting 14/1, Improved nicely last year, looking more professional and getting off the mark in good style in 8.6f Wolverhampton fillies' novice in November. Longer trip will suit this term and she'll progress further. 1 of 2 runners for yard that have dominated this race.
2nd here as 2yo before winning on AW; looks sure to be well suited by this extra distance.
5th
5th (6) Lunar Eclipse (12/1 -118%)
Lunar Eclipse

12/1(-118%)
(6) Lunar Eclipse 12/1, €350,000 yearling by Night of Thunder who made a winning start in 7f fillies' novice in the mud here in November, picking up well from off the pace. Track experience won't be lost on her and she's sure to progress up in trip.
Novice win from the back here (7f, heavy) in November augured well for stamina/potential.
6th
6th (8) Winter Snowfall (9/2 -35%)
Winter Snowfall

9/2(-35%)
(8) Winter Snowfall 9/2, Superbly-bred filly who built on debut promise when landing Chelmsford fillies' maiden 3 weeks ago, overcoming a modest gallop and scoring cosily from one who has run out a wide-margin winner on turf since. Has an action to suggest she'll be just as good on turf and will progress again.
Two AW runs last month, scoring last time (1m2f) from a filly who has looked useful since.
7th
7th (1) Carolina Reaper (14/1 -27%)
Carolina Reaper

14/1(-27%)
(1) Carolina Reaper 14/1, Useful filly who won twice over 7f at 2 yrs, including on the other course here. Step up in trip will suit but exposed compared to most of her rivals and might want softer ground.
2-6 as 2yo but well held in her two British Group races; useful form at her best.
8th
8th (3) Gray's Inn (33/1 -32%)
Gray's Inn

33/1(-32%)
(3) Gray's Inn 33/1, Fairly useful filly who won twice at up to 7f last summer. Should be suited by longer trip on breeding but has stacks to find.
Some fairly useful form among her eight 2yo races; needs something of a higher order.

13:50 Newmarket Listed (Class 1) 10f Race Class Flow

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

With six of the eight a winner last time out, this looks better than average and although Galileo filly Winter Snowfall is bred to be special, she will need to improve from her Chelmsford maiden win to get the better of KALPANA. First and second in her two all-weather starts, she stepped up a gear to win a handicap here by 10 lengths and more than warrants a crack at this better contest. Lunar Eclipse holds an Oaks entry and may hold Friendly Soul in the race for third.

KALPANA looked right at home on this track when slamming a promising field in a C&D handicap last month and can take this step up in class in her stride if building on that as expected. Winter Snowfall is a big player for Godolphin, while the Gosden yard, which has won this 6 times in the last 10 years, have live contenders in Friendly Soul and Strutting.

Kalpana's 10l handicap win is easily the best form but there's notable promise among most of her rivals, including LUNAR ECLIPSE.

Largely consistent last season but has not won for a while and others appeal more.
5th
5th (7) Simple Star (9/4 +25%)
Simple Star

9/4(+25%)
(7) Simple Star 9/4, Course winner who resumed from 8 months off with an excellent second of 13 in handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Weighted to go close despite taking a 2 lb rise.
Won three times in 2023 and last month's Musselburgh second was a career-best effort.

14:05 Hamilton Handicap (Class 3) 13f Race Class Flow

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

CAPITAL THEORY wasn't beaten far at Chelmsford last month and, given that was his first start since last November, it is reasonable to suggest the five-year-old can build on that performance off the same mark. Ravenscraig Castle is feared most given he is effective at this trip and has gone well off this sort of mark before, while Thirsk winner Two Brothers commands respect despite stepping up a furlong.

SIMPLE STAR looks the way to go on the back of his excellent reappearance Musselburgh second. Recent Thirsk scorer Two Brothers rates the chief threat to Dianne Sayer's course winner, with Capital Theory appealing as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

The suggestion is CAPITAL THEORY, who gave a pretty good account on Polytrack last month and returns to turf on a workable mark.

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.

14:15 Sligo Maiden 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

GOLDRUSH KID met with a setback after finishing fifth in a Curragh maiden this time last year. Patrick Magee's charge reappeared in the autumn and again shaped well when runner-up on soft ground at Navan. Underfoot conditions will be similar here. Spanish Cara was third to a subsequent Group 1 winner on her only start at two and came back from a year off to finish second on stable debut at Dundalk. She looks a big threat with that run under her belt. Thrifty Of Digby was a creditable fifth in a back-end Curragh maiden on soft ground and Colin Keane is an interesting booking for Her Ladyship who ran well in a strong maiden at Cork last summer.

A weak maiden and a very good opportunity for SPANISH CARA, who sets the standard. Goldrush Kid might be the danger, ahead of Thrifty of Digby.

HER LADYSHIP may offer a bit of each-way value after her promising run in a Cork maiden that has worked out well

(4) Heartache Tonight 20/1, Yet to add to her heavy-ground Longchamp debut success at 2 but she showed useful form when in the frame at Group level in France last spring. Off since creditable 2½ lengths sixth in Deauville Group 2 (12.5f, soft) in August.
Close up a 1m2f French Group 1 last season; there could well be better to come as a 4yo.

(2) Astral Beau 15/2, Very progressive handicapper in 2022 and improved another chunk when landing a listed race at Doncaster on 2023 reappearance. Plenty of solid efforts in defeat since, including when runner-up on last month's repeat bid. Likeable mare who will give it another good go.
Third last year and showed even better form afterwards; should come on for reappearance.
6th

Silver Lady

16/5(+29%)
(1) Silver Lady 16/5, Career-best effort when landing Group 2 at Meydan in January (1m) displaying a willing attitude in the process. 3 lb penalty to carry as a result but she's in top hands and is still unexposed.
Classy filly but best form has been at 1m and she's notoriously headstrong.

14:25 Newmarket Group 2 (Class 1) 9f Race Class Flow

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

Stay Alert is officially the best horse in this line-up, but she hasn't won since September 2022 and is passed over on her first start of the season. Running Lion heads the early betting after her eighth in the Group 1 Champion Fillies and Mares last October but her best win so far was in Listed class, and a chance is taken on SILVER LADY. Lightly raced with just five starts, she won the Group 2 Cape Verdi at Meydan in January and looks all set for a successful season.

RUNNING LION won at this meeting last year and while she lacks a prep run this time that's no concern given the yard she represents and this drop in trip may help her cause. She's just about the most persuasive option, though Stay Alert is a huge threat on her best form, while Silver Lady isn't yet exposed and is another danger, even with a penalty.

It's feasible that Running Lion can deliver the career best she'll need but ASTRAL BEAU is smart and she has the benefit of a run.

14:35 Hamilton Stakes (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

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

AIRMAN impressed when landing a maiden at Beverley on his only start as a juvenile and appeals strongly on his belated return to action, with his stable having notably already scored with a couple of similar types this season. Capo Vaticano, the only other winner in the race, is an obvious threat with her sex allowance. Gaenari was highly tired in Ireland and France last year and is a must for consideration too.

CAPO VATICANO got off to the perfect start at Chelmsford City and with progress very much on the cards Andrew Balding's daughter of Calyx can go in again. Fahrenheit Seven chased her home that day and again looks set for second best ahead of Irish-challenger Gaenari and the returning Airman.

He has fitness to prove after his 286-day absence but AIRMAN impressed on last summer's debut and could still be anything.

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.

14:50 Sligo Handicap 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

REDSHORE CITY made the breakthrough on his third start for Natalia Lupini when getting up close home to land a 27-runner handicap at the Curragh. He's 5lb higher but soft ground will be no problem and he was narrowly beaten over C&D last summer. Conversant had a couple of unplaced runs under his belt when winning this last year and comes here on the back of a similar preparation. This soft-ground specialist should be competitive. Gegenpressing is on a long losing run but his mark has fallen accordingly and one of his three victories came over C&D. He had plenty of rivals behind when three lengths off the selection at the Curragh.

Hard, but GEGENPRESSING won on his last visit to Sligo and is chanced after catching the eye in stronger races at the Curragh. My Girl Sioux and Redshore City are a couple of the other likely contenders.

A flyer is taken on NO SPEED LIMIT who may be able to dominate from the front with a handy draw to work with in stall 3

15:00 Newmarket Handicap (Class 2) 14f Race Class Flow

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

HMS President won this last year for Alan King and is capable of another decent showing, despite carrying an extra 8lb on this occasion. New London has every chance in handicap company after coming home fourth and third at Meydan in Group 3 contests, but asking him to give 10lb to INTINSO looks a big ask. A winner at Wolverhampton in March and a running-on third at Kempton since, this trip may bring plenty of improvement from the lightly-raced four-year-old.

A really competitive heat, with NEW LONDON fancied to defy top weight dropping back into handicap company for the first time since winning at the July Meeting in 2022. Intinso should be suited by the longer distance this time and remains low-mileage in handicaps, with Vaguely Royal and the unexposed Cannon Rock others to consider.

The suggestion is to side with BAGUE D'OR if the ground is good or firmer, and Struth if it is softer than good.

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

Already a dual course winner, Cavalier Approach has to be of interest in this company, although similar comments apply to Giselles Izzy, who seems to save her best for the stiff finish at this track. However, HONOUR YOUR DREAMS is also back on a happy hunting ground and, off the same mark as when winning over this C&D on soft ground last summer, Adrian Keatley's gelding appeals most.

CAVALIER APPROACH should strip fitter for his reappearance Southwell seventh and can capitalise on a lenient mark to bag a third course success. Henery Hawk is already a two-time scorer this term and can have a say, with Honour Your Dreams and Grandad Bob not discounted either in an open sprint.

Cavalier Approach is respected but SON OF SAMPERS will find this easier than last time and might be ready to strike soon.

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.

15:25 Sligo Handicap 13f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

GRANN'S BOY is fit from hurdling and looks capable of defying top weight. The Zoffany gelding began to improve on testing ground in the autumn and beat Special Protector over 1m4f at Galway on his latest start in this sphere. A 5lb hike looks reasonable and he's open to more improvement this term. Glyde Ranger won over C&D last summer and was placed a couple of times at Dundalk over the winter. Back from a break, he'll enjoy the cut in the ground. Enquire Within, a winner at Navan last term, has run well at this track before and will be better for her first start of the year at Dundalk.

In the hope he's as effective on turf, NEDDIES BOY could be the answer given he was in excellent order at Dundalk when last seen. Grann's Boy put up a career-best effort on the level at Galway in October and is a definite threat, along with Futurum Regem.

GRANN'S BOY signed off last season with a Flat success and he showed his well-being with a respectable run over timber last month

15:40 Newmarket Group 1 (Class 1) 8f Race Class Flow

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

FALLEN ANGEL took on the Irish and comprehensively beat them in their own back yard when she emerged as an impressive winner of the Moyglare at the Curragh last September. That was an outstanding performance and, given the daughter of Too Darn Hot had previously blown away the opposition when landing last year's edition of the Sweet Solera on the July course, this highly progressive filly has a major chance of obtaining Karl Burke a first Classic success. Ylang Ylang was only third in the Moyglare but blew that out of the water when she landed the Fillies' Mile on her next start. That experience of the trip could give Aidan O'Brien's sole representative an edge if stamina becomes an issue for the selection. French Group 2 winner Ramatuelle, along with Nell Gywn principles, Pretty Crystal and Dance Sequence, are others with rock-solid credentials in a fascinating renewal.

It was hard not be taken by the way FALLEN ANGEL picked up again when joined in the closing stages of the Moyglare and, with 1m likely to suit on that evidence, she can improve again and provide the increasingly-powerful Karl Burke stable with a first British Classic success. French-raider Ramatuelle is second choice ahead of Dance Sequence, who should relish the step up to 1m, and Fillies' Mile winner Ylang Ylang.

Having been so progressive and strong at the finish last season, FALLEN ANGEL (nap) gets the vote. Second choice is Ramatuelle.

WHERE'S JEFF appeared revitalised by a break when landing the spoils at Beverley recently. A 1lb rise in the ratings looks more than workable and he is taken to follow up. The biggest threat may emerge from My Little Queens, who should appreciate a return to this distance. Triple course winner Spanish Hustle also warrants respect on his return to this venue and Jim Goldie's gelding shouldn't be taken lightly.

WHERE'S JEFF is taken to enhance his excellent course record and land this race for the second year running. Spanish Hustle, My Little Queens and Jaminoz also know where the winning post is here and can give the selection most to do in that order.

Where's Jeff is hard to knock but MY LITTLE QUEENS is dangerously handicapped and her latest effort was a bit more like it.

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.

16:00 Sligo Handicap 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The lightly-raced GOD KNOWS ran a cracker when reappearing over seven furlongs on testing ground at the Curragh last month and should be better suited by this distance. The Dick Brabazon-trained mare went close in a Curragh maiden last summer before opening her account also over ten furlongs in a Down Royal handicap. You Owe Me Money won twice at Gowran last year with cut in the ground and was well backed when making a promising reappearance over this trip at Cork recently finishing third behind Nostringsattached. Pachmena beat Narlita in decisive fashion over 1m4f at the Curragh last autumn, while Camelot Alexander impressed when switched to a handicap at Gowran last month.

CAMELOT ALEXANDER stepped up markedly and had plenty to spare when landing an 8-runner handicap at Gowran on reappearance, so she's fancied to go in again with the potential for better still. Belhaven ended last season on a positive note and makes plenty of appeal on debut for a new stable, while God Knows can't be dismissed.

Although hit with a 9lb rise for her Gowran win, CAMELOT ALEXANDER shaped like a filly with a lot more improvement in her

16:15 Newmarket Stakes (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Charlie Appleby and Godolphin throw three darts at this contest and although Lucky Gift and Ballet Show both have excellent pedigrees, it is MOUNTAIN BREEZE, a close relative of three-time Group 1 winner Pinatubo, who captures the imagination as the main suggestion here. We have yet to see the best of Appleby's current crop of juveniles but this regally-bred trio suggests the ball is about to gather strong momentum. Mademoiselle and River Seine are a couple of others to monitor in the betting.

The newcomers are likely to dominate so the market should prove informative. Charlie Appleby saddles 3 well-bred newcomers with MOUNTAIN BREEZE the standout being a close relation to connections' top-class 2-y-o Pinatubo. Karl Burke won this 2 years ago with subsequent Royal Ascot winner Dramatised so the same connections' River Seine is another likely type.

There are some very interesting types among the debutantes, most notably RIPPLE EFFECT. Second choice is River Seine.

16:23 Hamilton Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Arkenstaar posted an encouraging effort on his return to action when third at Pontefract last month. The four-year-old is entitled to build on that effort and he's likely to be the mix once more, but NATZOR looks open to more improvement. The David O'Meara-trained gelding offered plenty to work with on his stable/seasonal bow at Newcastle in March and a reproduction of that runner-up effort may prove good enough. Trais Fluors and Black Friday are also noted.

ARKENSTAAR made a decent return when third at Pontefract 2 weeks ago, especially as he left the impression the outing may just have been needed, so he's taken to enhance his excellent track record back at this venue. Natzor lost his way for Archie Watson but made a highly positive start for this yard when just failing at Newcastle on return so is an obvious threat, while Shine On Brendan is another with a good record here.

As he is likely to have come on for his reappearance run, course specialist ARKENSTAAR looks to have a sound chance.

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.

16:35 Sligo Handicap 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

NOT JUST ANY EAGLE gained his only previous win on handicap debut over this trip at Cork in 2022 and has gone close on a number of occasions since. The selection was runner-up twice on soft ground last year and also ran well on the polytrack at Dundalk over the winter. Saffronandblue won with a bit in hand when beating Angel On Fire by over two lengths on very testing ground at Leopardstown last month but Martin Brassil's charge has more on his plate off a 10lb higher mark. Darkened and Anjah were only separated by a neck at Dundalk in March, while Daonethatgotaway has been placed both on the all-weather and heavy ground this spring and can't be discounted if staying this longer trip.

RED BALL OF FIRE shaped well when last seen on the Flat a year ago and won over jumps in this headgear last summer so she might be worth chancing back from a break. Easy Leopardstown winner Saffronandblue is feared most ahead of Kartayaz and Angel On Fire.

SAFFRONANDBLUE got a 10lb hike for beating Angel On Fire at Leopardstown last month but is open to greater improvement of the pair

16:50 Newmarket Stakes (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

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

There was plenty of encouragement to be taken from THE ACTOR's never-nearer second on debut over C&D last month and that experience should stand him in good stead going forward. Richard Hannon's colt makes most appeal of those who have raced, although a big performance from newcomer Symbol Of Honour wouldn't surprise. The Havana Grey colt is a half-brother to the Group 1-placed Dragon Symbol and market support could prove significant. Al Qudra is also noted.

THE ACTOR produced a very promising first effort when narrowly denied over C&D last month and, with his trainer having won 2 of the last 4 renewals of this race, he is taken to go one better this time around. He can confirm the placings with Al Qudra from when the pair met here 19 days ago, while Symbol of Honour is one to note on debut.

It looks quite competitive among the runners with experience. SYMBOL OF HONOUR and Yaroogh are very interesting newcomers.

16:58 Hamilton Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

GOOD MORNING ALEX strolled home by over four lengths on soft ground at Wetherby last week and connections are sending him back to the track with a 6lb penalty, assuming the handicapper will put him up more than that in the future. He may follow up if he handles the quicker going, with top-weight Wonderful Lives and handicap debutant Starlight Stanley others who could go well.

GOOD MORNING ALEX confirmed his effectiveness on turf in no uncertain terms when bolting up at Wetherby last week and a penalty looks unlikely to stop him improving his already impressive strike rate. Wonderful Lives failed to meet expectations at Newcastle but cheekpieces now go on and he rates the main threat.

The penalised GOOD MORNING ALEX looks to have an excellent chance of following up last Sunday's win at Wetherby.

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.

17:10 Sligo Handicap 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SYLKIE showed promise when keeping on into third on her handicap debut over seven furlongs in the mud at Naas in March. The Starspangledbanner filly has good prospects of staying this trip on the dam side being out of a ten-furlong winning daughter of Australia. Moutarde showed much improved form when making most and rallying very gamely close home to take a 19-runner mile handicap at Naas on Monday and should make a bold bid for a quick follow up, while Solar Drive also comes here off the back of a recent win having scored over 1m4f at Cork. Nika Pika has shown promise this year and now tries this trip for the first time.

Recent winners SOLAR DRIVE and Moutarde may dominate this but the former was more impressive and is taken to prevail. Out For A Stroll is the most notable of several handicap debutants who are worth monitoring in the betting.

Recent Cork winner SOLAR DRIVE can follow up, chiefly at the expense of Moutarde and Sylkie

17:25 Newmarket Handicap (Class 3) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Cynosure opened his account a shade cosily on his reappearance in a novice at Lingfield last month. His current rating of 85 shouldn't prevent another bold bid, but there is a sneaking suspicion that BLACK RUN could be the better handicapped of the two. The son of Nathaniel shaped better than the beaten distance suggests on his sixth-placed finish in a Group 3 at Longchamp in April and he might have too much class for these rivals. Sea The Thunder and Mai Dubai also warrant closer examination.

CYNOSURE is yet to run a bad race and his pedigree points to improvement now upped in trip, so he gets the nod over Mai Dubai, who should also make a better 3yo. Sea The Thunder and Black Run also have potential, so it could be a competitive event for the numbers.

Nearly all bring clear promise. BLACK RUN is the only runner with a fancy entry (Dante) and his French run should have brought him on.

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

Conquest Of Power can go well after his recent Lingfield success on Thursday, but that was on the all-weather and there is no guarantee he can repeat that under a penalty on turf. He can still get involved, but top-weight BURJ MALINKA is preferred. Trained by Adrian Nicholls, who is making a name for himself with his sprinters, he kept on well to win at Thirsk last month and won't mind any further rain. Catherine Chroi and Ignac Lamar are others to consider.

CATHERINE CHROI is in the form of her life and had something to spare last time, so she's fancied to add to her excellent recent run. Fellow last-time-out winner's Burj Malinka and Conquest of Power are clear dangers in a decent race for the grade.

The progressive CATHERINE CHROI (nap), who escapes a penalty for her Ayr win on Monday, is taken to beat Thirsk winner Burj Malinka

(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.

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.

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.
