13:30 Chester Handicap (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 4/1 (3) BOARDMAN, 4.5/1 (9) REVICH, and 11/1 (8) RED MIRAGE are likely to do well in the race. 4/1 (3) BOARDMAN has already shown good form in this race and had a solid performance in his recent races. 4.5/1 (9) REVICH has a good track record at Chester and has shown consistent form. 11/1 (8) RED MIRAGE is the defending champion and has been performing well in his recent races. However, as horse racing is unpredictable, it is difficult to accurately predict which horses will finish in the top three places.

Revich just faded late into third last time at Newbury over a mile and has to be considered running off the same mark for the Richard Spencer yard. However, preference is still for GWEEDORE, who was only beaten a length and a half into second on his latest outing over 7f at Haydock, and the handicapper has been kind to leave his rating alone. Therefore, he is fancied to attack from stall eight and make all. The booking of Ryan Moore on Croupier makes him an interesting contender.

BOARDMAN has plenty of winning spring form to his name, including at this venue, and he should be spot on for this following an eye-catching run from a poor track position at Haydock a fortnight ago. He has plenty to recommend him, with Wobwobwob (from stall 1) and Croupier feared most.

Last year's third REVICH is nicely handicapped back here and he gets the vote. Boardman is second choice.

13:40 Market Rasen Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to confidently predict which horse will do well based on this summary. However, some horses that may have a chance of finishing in the top three are: 3.5/1 (6) SYR MAFFOS, 3/1 (8) ONE MAN PARTY, and 12/1 (1) LENEBANE (if they fare better now handicapping).

This represents a drop in class for Lenebane, who is expected to improve at this level. However, she does have to shoulder top-weight, so SYR MAFFOS shades the vote. Even though he finished a rather distant fourth over an extended 2m at Taunton last month, he is now rated 3lb lower and looks the one to side with. The unexposed Princess Poppy is another to bear in mind on her handicap debut.

ONE MAN PARTY looked menacing when falling 3 out on his recent handicap debut and might be worth siding with in a race where few arrive with compelling claims. There were better signs from Syr Maffos at Taunton last time so he's a possible threat, while Kingfast hasn't been with the Fergal O'Brien stable for long and this return to a shorter trip should help.

Tom Lacey's SYR MAFFOS seemed to have turned a corner when fourth behind two subsequent winners at Taunton last month. He gets the nod.

Based on the information provided, it is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well. However, 1.1/1 (2) RACINGBREAKS RYDER seems to have a good track record with recent wins and being

RACINGBREAKS RYDER rates as a progressive colt having gone in again at Haydock recently, and a further 6lb rise may not prevent Charlies Hills' inmate from maintaining a perfect record in handicaps. Scholarship showed a willing attitude when winning on his return at Newbury last month and he isn't taken lightly, despite a 7lb hike in the ratings looking somewhat harsh. In These Shoes is another who is heading in the right direction.

RACINGBREAKS RYDER is a colt firmly on the up, completing the hat-trick at Haydock a fortnight ago, and given how he races, the drop to 7f may actually suit. There is depth to this despite the field size, with In These Shoes and Tawafag the main threats.

Often a strong race and SCHOLARSHIP has the potential to be better than a handicapper. Racingbreaks Ryder is second choice.

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

1st: 5/1 (9) BARYSHNIKOV 2nd: 3/1 (2) SAVVY VICTORY 3rd: 5/1 (4) MAKSUD

GROUNDBREAKER was last seen in September when beaten just under three lengths in a warm handicap that has worked out well at Newbury. The son of Oasis Dream has been gelded during his break which is likely to benefit him, especially given how keen he could be early on in some of his races last season. The main danger looks to be Baryshnikov, who stayed on well last time when third at Pontefract and has Billy Loughnane claiming 3lb. Savvy Victory completes the shortlist.

GROUNDBREAKER proved himself better than ever on his final 2 starts last year and appeals as the type who could be even better at 4 yrs, so he looks to have plenty going for him on his return, especially with Oisin Murphy booked. Savvy Victory is another who may raise his game further this season, with low-mileage 6-y-o Pride of America also respected back in handicap company.

Last year's winner BARYSHNIKOV can stage a repeat off the same mark, having given positive signals at Pontefract 18 days ago.

14:15 Market Rasen Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary provided, 0.8/1 (1) CARRAREA seems to be the strongest contender and sets the standard. 2/1 (6) MY BROTHER JACK could also be a major player if returned to better ground with cheekpieces on for the first time. 8.5/1 (4) TOMMOUSE has shown promise and could progress with an increase in trip. Therefore, the predicted order of finish would be: 1. 0.8/1 (1) CARRAREA 2. 2/1 (6) MY BROTHER JACK 3. 8.5/1 (4) TOMMOUSE

MY BROTHER JACK receives a handy weight-for-age allowance here and must hold every chance of building on a fair third over 2m1f at Sedgefield last month. The gelded son of Decorated Knight sports first-time cheekpieces and the booking of Brian Hughes makes the four-year-old of significant interest. Carrarea finished 57 lengths back in third over 2m5f at Warwick in March and can benefit from a shorter stamina test, while Tommouse looks the pick of the remainder.

MY BROTHER JACK hardly looked at home on more testing ground than previously after 5 months off when third at Sedgefield 4 weeks ago, so much better is expected of him now returned to more suitable conditions. He gets the narrow vote over standard-setter Carrarea in what is likely to prove a match unless Tommouse takes a step forward.

He found 2m5f on soft ground too taxing on his stable debut but CARRAREA will be hard to beat if somewhere near his best here.

14:25 Ascot Handicap (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, the horses that have a higher chance of finishing in 1st, 2nd and 3rd place are: 1) 2/1 (6) COQUELICOT - showed much improved form in this sphere when forging clear in a 2m Nottingham (heavy) last month and still looks on a fair mark 2) 10/1 (5) COGITAL - stepped up on reappearance and should remain competitive 3) 6/1 (2) EHTEYAT - May have more to offer as a stayer after AW wins this year, much improved on the back of a gelding operation and worth another chance in first-time cheekpieces. However, it is important to note that horse racing is unpredictable and any of the above horses may not necessarily finish in the top 3 positions.

COQUELICOT was perhaps feeling the exertions of her Nottingham triumph six days earlier when runner-up at cramped odds at Pontefract last time, and the seven-year-old looks to have more to offer in this sphere. Beny Nahar Road is an interesting stable debutant for Paul Nicholls and improvement could be forthcoming over this stiffer test. Ehteyat may come on for his return at Lingfield last month and is also noted.

EHTEYAT disappointed last time but he'd shown notable improvement prior to that following a gelding operation and, with the return to turf unlikely to pose a problem, he's worth another chance in first-time cheekpieces. Royaume Uni ought to be up to doing some damage from his current mark in this sphere so is second choice, while Coquelicot and Beny Nahar Road are two other potential threats.

2m in the mud leaves COQUELICOT with the least to prove, as long as her two good efforts last month have not had an adverse effect.

14:40 Chester Group 2 (Class 1) 10f Race Class Flow

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

1st: 1.2/1 (4) POINT LONSDALE, 2nd: 4/1 (3) MUJTABA, 3rd: 6.5/1 (5) POKER FACE.

POINT LONSDALE returned from a nearly a year off to strike in the Alleged Stakes at the Curragh over this trip in heavy conditions and had a subsequent winner back in second. The son of Australia, who was a top juvenile, is bred to improve with age and is fancied to have too much class for these. Mujtaba improved through the handicap ranks last year and has to be considered, with the likelihood of more to come, while Foxes Tales would also be foolish to dismiss.

A customary small field for this Group 2 contest but it promises to be a cracker, MUJTABA getting the verdict to make his first outing at pattern level a winning one after his demolition job in a handicap at Newbury 6 months ago. Point Lonsdale wasted no time getting back on the up when making a winning return at the Curragh last month, so he's put forward as the main danger, with recent Kempton scorer Foxes Tales taken to fill out third spot.

Point Lonsdale holds strong claims provided he avoids the bounce factor. MUJTABA and Poker Face are open to further progress.

14:50 Market Rasen Handicap Chase (Class 3) 24f Race Class Flow

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

Prediction: 3.5/1 (3) FRENCHY DU LARGE is likely to do well based on his recent form and success over shorter distances. As for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners, 3.5/1 (3) FRENCHY DU LARGE, 5/1 (2) FIDUX, and 4/1 (8) BETTY BALOO are strong contenders.

Only narrowly denied over this trip at Fakenham last month, FIDUX is entitled to build on that dropping in class and he looks the one to side with in a fairly open contest. Although it won't be easy, he has been consistent of late and is marginally preferred to Betty Baloo, who bolted up over C&D in a weaker contest most recently. Go On Chez hasn't been seen for 182 days but has proven to run well fresh in the past.

The vote goes to FRENCHY DU LARGE, who pulled clear of the third (Ladronne) when runner-up in a competitive Haydock handicap and a reproduction of that effort would give him every chance. Betty Baloo was pretty impressive over C&D last month, even allowing for the fact that she was probably seen to best effect, and Tim Easterby's charge is feared most ahead of Fidux.

The selection is SCIPION (nap), who has been in good form in cheekpieces, and is taken to beat Frenchy Du Large and Betty Baloo

Predicted finishes: 1. 3/1 (2) MAJESTIC BEAUTY 2. 6/1 (5) JE NE SAIS QUOI 3. 2.25/1 (4) DAWN CHARGER

DAWN CHARGER sets a fair standard judged on her recent second at Pontefract and Karl Burke's filly could put that experience from her debut to good use here. The biggest threat is likely to come from one of the newcomers, with Majestic Beauty, a half-sister to five winners, feared most. Je Ne Sais Quoi and Thanksbutnothanks also make some appeal on their pedigrees.

Mostly newcomers, and the market will offer more clues, but DAWN CHARGER showed plenty on debut at Pontefract and is the one to beat, with improvement on the cards. Je Ne Sais Quoi and Majestic Beauty are the interesting newcomers, on paper at least.

These days the eyes are forever drawn to an Amo Racing newcomer and Kevin Stott prefers MAJESTIC BEAUTY to their other one.

1st: 11/1 (1) RAJINSKY 2nd: 10/1 (15) EMIYN 3rd: Show Of Force

Rajinsky has kept good company since finishing third in last year's renewal, but, while he is respected, it would take a mammoth effort from him under top weight. Falcon Eight, who was fifth last year but won the 2021 renewal off 4lb lower, is another key player with conditions in his favour. The vote, though, goes to ZOFFEE, whose most recent start resulted in a highly commendable fourth-place finish in the Cesarewitch last October. Others to note include Metier and Calling The Wind.

The Dominic Ffrench Davis stable has been knocking in the winners on a regular basis this spring so the vote goes to CALL MY BLUFF, who has a good course record, ran well on his recent Newbury reappearance and won't be inconvenienced if the ground goes soft. Calling The Wind and Euchen Glen are the sorts who will need things to drop right but are more than capable of going close off their current marks if they do. Zoffee and 2021 winner Falcon Eight are others likely to be in the shake-up.

Soft ground would help CALL MY BLUFF (nap) who has stacks of stamina and a good record at this course. Metier is second choice.

1st: 3/1 (7) SOME SCOPE 2nd: 6.5/1 (8) HASHTAG BOUM 3rd: 4/1 (5) ZESTFUL

This can go the way of SOME SCOPE, who was a major improver when stepped up in trip at Haydock and an 8lb rise for that success may not be enough to stop him going in again. Runner-up in Listed company at Cheltenham last month, Zestful is entitled to be thereabouts, along with comfortable Kelso scorer Hashtag Boum. Ballintubber Boy and Exmoor Forest are not without claims either.

The unexposed SOME SCOPE did the job well when making a winning handicap debut at Haydock and, with the promise of better to come from this 5-y-o, he is pretty appealing. Zestful lost no caste in defeat when finding just one too good in listed company at Cheltenham and she is second choice. Third on the list is Hashtag Boum, who should remain competitive following a 6 lb rise for her Kelso breakthrough success.

In a competitive event the progressive Haydock winner SOME SCOPE is taken to win again with Ballintubber Boy also in with a chance.

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

Based on the summary, the horse that is most likely to do well is 5/1 (4) SHAGPYLE due to its impressive pedigree and being closely related to successful horses. The horses predicted to finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd are 5/1 (4) SHAGPYLE, 1.88/1 (2) ROCHA DO LEAO, and 2.25/1 (5) SO FARHH SO GOOD respectively.

Rocha Do Leao made a promising debut when finishing fifth in a race at Newmarket's Craven meeting last month and, with stamina on the dam's side, she should progress upped in distance. She merits respect, along with Sea Me Dance, who bumped into a couple of nice prospects on her first two runs. The daughter of Sea The Stars appeals as the type to improve now switched to turf, but a chance is taken on SHAGPYLE. A half-sister to the classy Pyledriver, the Frankel filly should be ideally suited by this test of stamina and could strike at the first time of asking.

SO FARHH SO GOOD shaped well on her 1m debut last backend and promises to be suited by this longer trip so she earns the vote. Rocha Do Leao showed plenty of ability on her recent Newmarket debut and may give her most to do unless the market vibes are strong for one of the newcomers.

The newcomers are interesting but, as things stand, ROCHA DO LEAO is taken to build on her encouraging start at the Craven meeting.

1st - 1/1 (1) BANDERAS, 2nd - 3.5/1 (5) MEDIEVAL GOLD, 3rd - 7.5/1 (2) CHRONOGRAPH

Banderas arguably sets the standard on form based on his close second in a decent maiden at Newbury last month. He can be expected to cope with the longer trip and the signs are positive. However, it's noteworthy that nicely-bred newcomer KING OF THE PLAINS is pitched at this level on debut and the son of Roaring Lion is dangerous to underestimate. Kingsley Pride, a stablemate of the selection, also has the potential to improve in first-time blinkers.

MEDIEVAL GOLD has an excellent middle-distance pedigree and is in good hands, so he's worth chancing in his bid to make a winning start. Banderas is an obvious danger after an improved showing at Newbury and King of The Plains is another noteworthy newcomer.

While his failure to seal the issue at Newbury was somewhat frustrating, BANDERAS could still be a useful horse in the making.

1st: 5.5/1 (7) MISTY MANI 2nd: 7/1 (5) PROPER TWELVE 3rd: 5/1 (8) BUSHTUCKER PARK

MISTY MANI loves it around here and her most recent second at Musselburgh hinted that she may be returning to her best form. The daughter of Sulamani continues to drop in the handicap and she may have enough to see off the likes of Bushtucker Park and Methusalar, who was a convincing winner at Bangor when last in action. Completing the shortlist are the likes of Allbetsoff, Maria Magdalena and Proper Twelve.

METHUSALAR was steadily going the right way in handicaps when last seen, signing off with success at Bangor (19.5f) 12 months ago. Just 1 lb higher on return, he's unlikely to be lacking for fitness given his yard and earns the vote. Teescomponentsfly on return, handicap debutant Bushtucker Park and Allbetsoff head up the dangers in a wide-open contest.

Back on track at Plumpton latest, PROPER TWELVE just gets the nod in an open affair ahead of dual course winner Misty Mani.

1st place: 2/1 (3) ORAZIO 2nd place: 3.5/1 (10) CHAIRMANOFTHEBOARD 3rd place: 14/1 (6) MARSHAL DAN

The form of ORAZIO's recent success took a timely boost when the runner-up struck in a valuable heritage handicap on Guineas weekend, so a subsequent 4lb rise in the ratings could prove to be lenient for the lightly-raced son of Carravggio. The third that day, Chairmanoftheboard, went on to finish second in that same race, and he's worth considering turned out quickly. Sterling Knight was far from disgraced when finishing fourth at Doncaster last month and is another to keep an eye on.

Having confirmed he retains plenty of ability at Kempton in January, ORAZIO put up a useful effort when scoring over this trip at Newmarket 23 days ago, and with the prospect of more to come, he can make another bold bid. Sterling Knight, with his reappearance behind him, is of interest in a first-time visor with conditions holding no fears. Chairmanoftheboard arrives in fine form and also rates a big threat.

Course form can be worth its weight in gold here and BICKERSTAFFE is not only 2-2 over C&D, but also goes well fresh.

BY YOUR SIDE has been kept busy throughout the winter months over hurdles, running on no less than 11 occasions, and has held his form particularly well, having just been denied at the Punchestown Festival last time. Connections have booked Billy Loughnane and there is a lot to like about his profile back on the level. Aqwaam filled the runner-up spot off this mark at Doncaster last time and he is respected, along with Two Brothers and Claritudo.

Plenty arrive with claims including Irish-raider BY YOUR SIDE. Steadily progressive on the level last term, he comes having run his best race yet over hurdles when runner-up in a big-field affair at Punchestown 2 weeks ago and it's most interesting his leading NH yard pitchs him in here with Billy Loughnane booked. Last-time-out winners Claritudo, and Two Brothers head up the dangers, with Greystoke another to note for Alan King.

Preference is for CLARITUDO, who holds particularly solid claims. The Nu Form Way is second choice.

PILEUP couldn't build on a promising fencing debut when pulled up at Hexham last time out. He's been given a short break, however, and the cheekpieces that were worn there have now been discarded. His dam is a half-sister to the classy Put The Kettle On, which gives hope he should still thrive over the larger obstacles. Sageburg County showed plenty of ability over hurdles and he should progress further in this discipline, while recent Perth scorer Victory Echo heads the remainder.

SAGEBURG COUNTY finished with running left in a handicap hurdle at Southwell last time and, having won his only start between the flags, he's very much the type to do better over fences, so he gets the nod over fellow chasing debutant Hardy Boy. Drop Him In is in good order and should also be on the premises.

In a tricky event HARRY DU BERLAIS, with cheekpieces on for the first time, is taken to get back to winning ways.

NOGO'S DREAM ran an excellent race over further in a competitive handicap at Newmarket last month, and the drop back in trip should suit as he looks to bounce back to winning ways. Richard Hughes' charge is preferred to the likes of handicap debutant Fox Master and Prospering, who ran well at Kempton last time out but has not been in action on turf since last October.

NOGO'S DREAM shaped well prior to seeming stretched by the longer trip at Newmarket last time and, back over a more suitable distance, he could take the beating. Fox Master is a big danger and Prospering should play a part if he can convert his AW form back to turf.

This is very trappy with so precious little soft-ground form to work with. NOGO'S DREAM might be the answer.

NOVEL LEGEND just missed out by one for a tilt at the Chester Cup and the four-year-old, who scored impressively at Newbury on his latest start, would have been high on many shortlists for that. As a result, James Fanshawe's charge is expected to be too strong for these rivals. Bellatrixsa is 4lb higher following her victory in this last year and enters calculations, while Zinc White is of considerable interest on his debut for Ian Williams.

The progressive NOVEL LEGEND is a step ahead of the assessor under a 3 lb penalty and, with this new trip unlikely to pose a problem, he will take plenty of stopping in his bid to complete the hat-trick. The fact that he was a winner here on his sole previous visit in September also augurs well. Justus is also 'well-in' under a penalty following his wide-margin Doncaster success and he is next on the list ahead of The Predictor.

Progressive NOVEL LEGEND looks well capable of defying top weight and remains a stayer to follow. Second choice is Justus.

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

Based on the summary, it is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. However, some horses that may have a chance of finishing in the top three include 3.5/1 (12) TOOR MOON, who has shown promise in previous races; 2/1 (10) STARMAN, who has shown promise earlier in the season but has disappointed in the last two runs; and 4.5/1 (4) BROADFORD PUBLICAN, who shaped better in the last race after a few months off and may benefit from being back down in trip. Other horses with potential include 8/1 (9) SIR PRINCE EDMOND, who has improved from previous races, and 11/1 (6) MACANOGUE, who has made a small step forward in the last race. The rest of the horses either have not shown much promise or have struggled in past races, but as with any race, anything can happen on the day.

TOOR MOON has some form and contests a weak race. He contested seven bumpers and showed improvement when finishing fourth to useful types on hurdles debut at Wexford in March and can progress. Sir Prince Edmond ran well enough in a better maiden here last month and remains a fraction unexposed while Broadford Publican was well held on his latest handicap run but had previously run well enough, when gambled, in December. Starman showed ability for Willie Mullins in 2021 before returning following a layoff. He ran well at Naas and probably went too fast on testing ground at Clonmel but isn't straightforward. Ninety thousand pounds has gone west on A Fortune Out West since his point-to-point win while Be Fierce finished fifth in another unplaced maiden in March.

An open-looking maiden with the vote going to BROADFORD PUBLICAN, who should be all the better for a recent run and remains open to improvement now dropping back in trip. Sir Prince Edmond and Starman head the dangers.

STARMAN has had excuses on his last couple of starts and he might be worth giving another chance to at this sort of level

Nicky Henderson has an admirable strike-rate when sending his horses here, and he could improve that record further with CHOCCABLOC. Having finished a good second at Chepstow on his latest outing, the gelded son of Blue Bresil is taken to go one better. Illico De Nuit demands the utmost respect for a trainer who does extremely well in these types of races, while Scrumpy also makes some appeal.

CHOCCABLOC was clear of the rest when runner-up at Chepstow last time and, if in the same form, he should be capable of opening his account at the third attempt. Mistral Blue looks the main danger on form and Illico de Nuit is the most interesting newcomer.

Nicky Henderson's CHOCCABLOC was placed in two good bumpers last season and ought to be a very tough nut to crack.

Based on the information provided, it is difficult to confidently predict which horse will do well. However, 0.67/1 (2) DESERT MASTER and 3.5/1 (1) BILOXI BOY seem like strong contenders, with 0.67/1 (2) DESERT MASTER potentially finishing in 1st and 3.5/1 (1) BILOXI BOY in 2nd or 3rd. 5/1 (3) SERRIED RANKS also has potential, but the betting market may give a better indication of its chances.

DESERT MASTER should have learned plenty from his debut second at Ripon last month and he looks more than capable of winning at this level. The selection faces off against two newcomers, with Biloxi Boy perhaps proving the biggest threat. Karl Burke's colt is a half-brother to the useful Sioux Spirit and he isn't taken lightly if dealing with the likely testing conditions. Serried Ranks may come into his own once over further, but this will reveal more.

The newcomers are from good yards and it'll be interesting to see how they go in the betting but DESERT MASTER has to be the call on the back of his very promising debut effort at Ripon.

The two newcomers are interesting, but Ripon second DESERT MASTER should be hard to beat with the experience under his belt.

17:20 Ascot Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, it is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will win. However, some of the horses that may perform well are 7.5/1 (2) BUSSENTO, 2/1 (4) DOCKLANDS, and Prince of Zenda. For 1st place, 2/1 (4) DOCKLANDS and Prince of Zenda may be strong contenders. For 2nd place, 7.5/1 (2) BUSSENTO or 7.5/1 (1) SIGNCASTLE CITY could be potential choices. For 3rd place, 16/1 (6) LUDO'S LANDING or 7/1 (8) STAGE SHOW may have solid each-way claims. It is important to note that horse racing is unpredictable, and any of these horses could surprise and perform better or worse than expected.

DOCKLANDS may have been a comfortable winner at Kempton last time out, but it is the form of his previous effort at Wolverhampton that stands out when runner-up to the smart Cicero's Gift. A mark of 80 could underestimate the three-year-old on his handicap debut and he may have too much for Prince of Zenda, who has not finished outside of the first three home in all of his starts so far. Ludo's Landing and Stage Show cannot be ruled out either.

A few in with a squeak but DOCKLANDS completed a simple task in ready fashion to open his account at Kempton just over 3 weeks ago and, with improvement on the cards now handicapping, Harry Eustace's charge is fancied to follow up. Signcastle City shaped as if he would come on for the run at Haydock recently so he may emerge as the main danger, with the experienced Ludo's Landing rounding off the shortlist.

There are reasons to believe that DOCKLANDS (nap) has got in lightly for his first handicap and his sire was effective on soft going.

17:25 Ripon Maiden (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 1.88/1 (5) GREY GRAY and 2.5/1 (1) HALA EMARAATY have the best chances of doing well. 9/1 (2) BACK BEFORE DARK and 14/1 (4) GRAY'S INN are also potential contenders. 8.5/1 (6) LADY DANDYLION and 14/1 (7) PATASOLA are less likely to perform strongly. It is difficult to predict the exact finishing order, but 1.88/1 (5) GREY GRAY, 2.5/1 (1) HALA EMARAATY, and 9/1 (2) BACK BEFORE DARK could finish in the top three.

GREY GRAY paid the price for a slow start on her debut at Bath and may have got closer to an impressive winner that day. Given that form has been franked since and she subsequently posted another encouraging effort at Brighton nine days ago, she can make it third-time lucky here. Hala Emaraaty appeals most of the newcomers and is one to monitor in the betting, while similar comments apply to Back Before Dark.

GREY GRAY arrives having filled the runners-up spot both starts to date, latterly at Brighton 9 days ago, and she can put her experience to good use and come out on top. Alice Haynes has made a bright start with her juveniles and newcomer Hala Emaraaty is one to note. Bazball is also worth a look.

Alice Haynes has her string in great nick and her Kodiac newcomer HALA EMARAATY is taken to make a winning start and deny Grey Gray.

17:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 14f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 1.1/1 (4) MR RUMBALICIOUS seems to be the strongest contender as he has won his last two races and is in good form. 2.75/1 (7) ALL ABOUT ALICE and 7/1 (8) STEEL HELMET could also be in the running for 2nd and 3rd place, respectively.

Things have clicked into gear for MR RUMBALICIOUS, who arrives in search of a hat-trick. He battled on gamely to record the latest of those wins, which came here last month, and a subsequent 2lb rise in the handicap shouldn't prevent him from mounting another serious challenge. Alan King's charge edges the vote over All About Alice, who was only a neck behind him at Lingfield. Steel Helmet is fancied to chase them home.

JENNY REN has had all 5 of her starts in 2023 at this course and has been holding her form well, successful in March before faring best of those held up when fourth on her latest outing. She is taken to see off the challenge of Mr Rumbalicious, who isn't taken lightly in his hat-trick bid, while All About Alice can also give another good account.

This can go to Alan King's hat-trick seeker MR RUMBALICIOUS, who won here last time and is only 2lb higher on this drop back in trip.

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

1st: 3.5/1 (5) LASER FOCUS 2nd: 7.5/1 (4) ROYAL EAGLE 3rd: 2.5/1 (13) MISTER WILSON

Useful flat performer MISTER WILSON ran well on recent handicap hurdle debut. A three-time flat winner, he has three-quarters of a length to find and is 2lb worse off with Laser Focus than on a recent course meeting but the selection should improve considerably and likes soft ground. Laser Focus is reliable and capable but would prefer good ground. Royal Eagle was very capable on good ground last summer, winning at the Galway festival and while her lack of a recent run isn't overly concerning, probably needs a sound surface. Hide And Seek's reappearance was disappointing but had a veterinary excuse (reported lame) while Good World would ideally prefer further. Second Subaltern should improve from his recent handicap debut and has some bumper form.

MISTER WILSON produced his best hurdles performance to date when third on handicap debut here 3 weeks ago and given his Flat ability, there should be plenty more to come from him. Laser Focus and Royal Eagle look the pick of the opposition.

It was a promising handicap debut from MISTER WILSON here last time out. He's unexposed in this sphere and a 3lb higher mark is fine

17:45 Nottingham Maiden (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 1.1/1 (6) REGAL FANFARE seems like the strongest contender with her recent runner-up finish and improvement after time off. 3/1 (2) DECIPHER and 6/1 (1) AURORA CHARM also show potential for improvement and may finish in the top three. Therefore, the predicted order of finish is: 1st: 1.1/1 (6) REGAL FANFARE 2nd: 3/1 (2) DECIPHER 3rd: 6/1 (1) AURORA CHARM

MYSTERIOUS LOVE didn't appear to enjoy the undulations at Newmarket on her return to action last month and, although she will need to improve on that effort to triumph in this contest, her previous efforts would give her a leading chance in these calmer waters. Regal Fanfare posted an improved effort when runner-up on her second start at Lingfield recently and is likely to prove popular, while Decipher is capable of better and completes the shortlist.

REGAL FANFARE showed improved form despite still seeming rough around the edges when runner-up at Lingfield 16 days ago and, with a pedigree to think she'll be even better over this 1f longer trip, she's a confident choice to get off the mark. Mysterious Love seemed unsuited by the track on her return at Newmarket and is better judged on her previous form in France. Decipher is a strong-looking filly who should have learnt from her debut and could have a say in proceedings, too.

This can go to REGAL FANFARE who only found one too good on her recent Lingfield return and should be suited by this stiffer test.

17:55 Ripon Maiden (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, it is difficult to confidently predict which horse will do well. However, 1/1 (1) TALHA seems to have a good track record of finishing as a runner-up and has recently performed well even after a 6-month break. 2.25/1 (2) TAWALLA has also shown improvement and is open to further progress. 5.5/1 (4) HARRIET'S ANGEL is still green and has only raced twice, but has shown promise. With that said, my prediction for the top three would be: 1) 1/1 (1) TALHA 2) 2.25/1 (2) TAWALLA 3) 5.5/1 (4) HARRIET'S ANGEL (with an outside chance for 3rd place)

Richard Fahey is among the top three trainers at this course over the last five years and holds a solid chance of boosting that statistic with TALHA, who has finished second on each of her three pervious starts. Admittedly, she was well held on each occasion, but her performances were still encouraging enough to put her forward with a good level of confidence. Tawalla showed improvement last time and is feared most ahead of Harriet's Angel.

Tough to split these but TALHA has finished runner-up on each of his 3 outings so far and with further improvement not ruled out this looks a good opportunity for Richard Fahey's charge to go a place better. Tawalla was much improved from debut despite still looking a work in progress so he can give the selection most to think about, ahead of Harriet's Angel.

The vote goes to Charlie Fellowes' TAWALLA who can take another step forward after his Catterick second.

1st - 2/1 (3) ESTATE 2nd - 28/1 (10) CLOSE OF PLAY 3rd - 3.5/1 (9) TATTERSTALL

BRIGHT was too keen to do himself justice having been sent off favourite on his racecourse debut last month, but better was clearly expected and he could take a marked step forward with that run under his belt. Estate continues to run well in defeat and merits respect from a low draw, along with Popular Dream, who must be of interest back on an artificial surface. Harry Angel gelding Ice Cool Harry makes appeal on paper and is worth a market check ahead of his first start.

ESTATE ran to a fairly useful level when runner-up twice at 2 yrs and, having finished third on his reappearance 10 days ago, he could be ready to open his account this time around. Tatterstall also filled the runner-up spot on two occasions last year and is feared most having been gelded ahead of his return, with Bright completing the shortlist.

This looks a bit trappy but Andrew Balding's ESTATE gets the vote ahead of Tatterstall and Bright.

18:10 Kilbeggan Maiden Hurdle 19f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary, it is difficult to confidently predict which horse will do well. However, 0.8/1 (7) RULE THE WIND seems to be a strong contender, having placed second in a previous novice hurdle race and being described as hard to beat. 7/1 (6) LAZER WOLF is also mentioned as a promising individual and likely to improve, making them a potential threat to 0.8/1 (7) RULE THE WIND. As for third place, it could be any of the other horses mentioned, but 16/1 (11) FLIDAIS is noted to have shown improvement in their previous race and has a pedigree that suggests they may excel at longer distances. Therefore, the predicted order of finish is: 1. 0.8/1 (7) RULE THE WIND 2. 7/1 (6) LAZER WOLF 3. 16/1 (11) FLIDAIS

RULE THE WIND improved from his bumper when running well on recent jumps debut. Out of an unraced half-sister to Brave Inca and previously carrying the Magnier silks, he crucially drifted right on the run-in at Tipperary when beaten by a useful winner and while today's ground is likely to be softer, he is capable. Ideal Du Tabert is also useful and while well held at Fairyhouse last month, had previously run well behind a capable winner at Leopardstown in March and should give the selection a race. Flidais ran well in a course maiden hurdle last month (beating Kileemore Lad into fourth) but faces a stiffer test. Lazer Wolf has ability but probably needs to improve while the three newcomers face experienced rivals.

It's tough to ignore the claims of RULE THE WIND who made a promising start to his hurdle career at Tipperary last month and can strike for the Willie Mullins team. Gavin Cromwell pair Lazer Wolf and Ideal du Tabert may provide the main opposition unless the betting vibes are strong regarding the Gordon Elliott newcomers.

RULE THE WIND was only narrowly denied at Tipperary last month and that form is already starting to take shape

1st: 1.88/1 (1) LITTLE JO 2nd: 1.63/1 (3) SHE'S GOT BOTTLE 3rd: 5/1 (6) BO TAIFAN

This could be dominated by the two penalised winners in SHE'S GOT BOTTLE and Little Jo, with slight preference for the former. Roger Fell's filly was a ready winner at Pontefract last Wednesday and a 5lb penalty may not be enough to stop her from completing a quick double. The aforementioned Little Jo is only 4lb higher here for his recent success at Redcar and another bold bid is expected, while Eton College shouldn't be underestimated racing off a career-low mark.

LITTLE JO had a lot in hand at Redcar last week so a 4 lb penalty seems unlikely to stop him if showing up here in similar form. Bo Taifan took a step forward when second at Chelmsford last week and may provide a bigger threat than She's Got Bottle, who enjoyed the run of the race when successful at Pontefract last Wednesday.

Preference is for recent impressive Pontefract winner SHE'S GOT BOTTLE who may have the race run to suit.

Based on the summary, the horses that have the best chance of finishing in the top 3 are 16/1 (7) JAMES WATT, 6/1 (4) LOTUS ROSE, and 1.2/1 (3) REIGNING PROFIT. 16/1 (7) JAMES WATT has won this race before and has a good track record. 6/1 (4) LOTUS ROSE has been consistent and posted good results recently. 1.2/1 (3) REIGNING PROFIT has won twice this year and is expected to bounce back after a disappointing run in a Class 2 contest.

Stablemates James Watt, who won this off 10lb higher last year, and GLORY FIGHTER are hard to split on the pick of their form. However, the latter, who has also won off higher marks before now, edges preference based on him posting the more solid recent performances. Reigning Profit also enters calculations, while Manila Scouse has a long absence to overcome but also warrants a second look.

REIGNING PROFIT came up short in a Class 2 race at Goodwood last week but will prove a tough nut to crack back in calmer waters here. Indeed, Ruth Carr's charge was a decisive winner of back-to-back Pontefract handicaps prior to that and is taken to exploit this favourable mark (due to go up 6 lb). A line can be drawn through John Kirkup's reappearance spin and he could be the one for the forecast. Manila Scouse has been absent for 18 months but is worth a second look all the same.

The vote goes to GLORY FIGHTER who can build on an encouraging Doncaster reappearance 3rd and also represents last year's winning yard.

It is difficult to confidently predict which horse will do well based on this summary. However, 0.73/1 (7) MOUNTAIN LAKE, being an interesting newcomer with good connections, may be a horse to watch. Therefore, the predicted order of finish for the race is: 1) 0.73/1 (7) MOUNTAIN LAKE 2) 5/1 (1) LOVE IS A ROSE 3) 6.5/1 (3) SOPHIA'S STARLIGHT

Fresh from his success with Mawj in the 1000 Guineas, Saeed bin Suroor will be hopeful that MOUNTAIN LAKE can strike at the first time of asking. The daughter of Postponed has a stamina laden pedigree, but there is enough to suggest she can be effective at this trip. Dance Angel is feared most and is entitled to have come forward for her debut sixth at Chelmsford, while Sophia's Starlight makes some appeal too.

MOUNTAIN LAKE may have found a very good opening on debut. Love Is A Rose and Sophia's Starlight are interesting on their return.

The vote goes to Godolphin's newcomer MOUNTAIN LAKE, who has a striking pedigree and represents an in-form yard.

Based on the summary, the horses that are most likely to perform well are 14/1 (14) SHEISHYBRID, 3/1 (6) NINE GRACES, and 6/1 (10) DESERT HEATHER. 14/1 (14) SHEISHYBRID has had recent wins over hurdles and also has experience on the flat, which could give them an edge in this race. 3/1 (6) NINE GRACES is bidding for a hat-trick and has had recent wins in handicap hurdles. 6/1 (10) DESERT HEATHER has had a career-best win on h'cap debut last month and is unexposed as a stayer. It's important to note that horse racing can be unpredictable and there are many factors that can affect a horse's performance on the day of the race.

DESERT HEATHER was an easy winner on her last visit here and may be able to follow up despite a stone hike. The Cloudings mare appreciate the step up in trip and nicer ground when scoring by an impressive nine lengths just over three weeks ago. This is tougher now but that track form is a big plus. Law Ella is another mare who comes into this in fine form after a cosy success at Downpatrick last time. She got 7lb for that four-and-a-half length win and could be competitive again despite the rise. It could be a race between the mares in the field with Nine Graces also holding obvious claims. She's on a hat-trick after wins at Punchestown and Ballinrobe and was good when winning on her handicap debut last time, resulting in a 12lb hike. Former high-class staying hurdle Ronald Pump heads the weights but may find it tough against some progressive rivals.

A good-quality handicap and it may pay to focus on the trio arriving on the up. NINE GRACES is improving fast having been fitted with a tongue tie and is selected to take the step up in class in her stride and complete the hat-trick. With 3m not certain to suit the smooth-travelling mare Law Ella, Desert Heather is feared most.

LEVEL NEVERENDING has been running in some mightily competitive handicaps of late and he may find this a bit easier

1st - 1.75/1 (1) ROGUE SEA 2nd - 1.5/1 (3) PERFUSE 3rd - 4.5/1 (2) CARLTON

Rogue Sea was a comfortable five and a half length victor on his debut and looks to have conditions in his favour once more, but he may struggle to give a 5lb penalty away to the Sir Michael Stoute-trained PERFUSE. The son of Lope De Vega shaped with huge promise on his first start at Pontefract, and he is fancied to progress from that display. Carlton drops back in trip and could have a say.

An interesting novice. PERFUSE had his Pontefract form boosted when the third won at Newcastle the other day so he gets the vote but Rogue Sea was impressive on his Yarmouth debut and is unlikely to go down without a fight, while Carlton couldn't cope with bottomless ground at Leicester last time but had shown promise on his Doncaster debut prior to that.

Despite the penalty it's hard to get away from ROGUE SEA who was so impressive when making a winning debut at Yarmouth last month.

Based on the summary, the horses with the best chances of finishing in the top 3 are 5.5/1 (7) EASTER ICON, 5.5/1 (3) TURNER GIRL, and Glory and Honour.

TURNER GIRL was an eye-catcher when staying on from off the pace over shorter at Catterick last month, and going up to 2m could well be the making of her. Ed Dunlop's filly is only 1lb above her last winning mark and she gets the vote ahead of Wolverhampton scorer Glory And Honour, as well as Yorkindness, who has performed with credit on both starts this year.

Cases can be made for several, but TURNER GIRL left her reappearance effort well behind at Catterick just over a fortnight ago so, provided she copes with this extra distance, Ed Dunlop's filly is fancied to double her career tally. Glory And Honour opened his account for the year at Wolverhampton last Wednesday and he should be in the mix under a penalty, along with We'll Go Again.

Sam England's hurdles winner WE'LL GO AGAIN can build on his Catterick fourth now now that he faces more of a stamina test.

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

Based on the information provided, it is difficult to determine with certainty which horse will finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. However, 9/1 (6) GOOD HUMOR and 1.5/1 (1) WALEYFA appear to be strong contenders, with 9/1 (6) GOOD HUMOR potentially leveraging a dangerous mark in handicap company and 1.5/1 (1) WALEYFA having a strong recent track record. 2.75/1 (4) PRECEDENT may also be worth considering as a possibility after a strong recent showing in a handicap, and 9/1 (3) GLOBAL TYCOON could potentially fare better with new blinkers. It is important to note that horse racing is unpredictable and unexpected outcomes are always possible.

WALEYFA regained the winning thread at Chelmsford last Thursday and a 5lb penalty may not prevent a third success since joining the Alice Haynes yard. Precedent offered plenty to work with when runner-up on his stable debut at Pontefract and is feared most. Shorts On ran with more encouragement at Yarmouth recently and he shouldn't be underestimated if breaking better this time round.

Having had excuses for her previous run, WALEYFA quickly got back on track returned to all-weather when winning readily at Chelmsford 8 days ago and she can follow up under a penalty. Precedent showed encouragement on his seasonal/stable debut last time and can be the one to give the selection most to think about, ahead of Global Tycoon.

This can go to whichever of WALEYFA and Precedent is best able to translate their recent good cheer on other surfaces to Tapeta.

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

Prediction: 3/1 (5) ITSWHATUNITESUS is likely to do well in this race as a useful hurdler with a high rating. 5/1 (8) PERCY WARNER and 6.5/1 (2) DREAL DEAL are also expected to be in the top 3. The reserves, 7/1 (17) MACDERMOTT and 12/1 (15) NONBINDING, could be strong contenders if they get a run.

GET MY DRIFT sets a good standard here off a mark of 130 and can open his chasing account. The Spanish Moon gelding has been placed in two of his four starts over fences and ran a solid race in a competitive handicap at Leopardstown when last seen in February. This is a more winnable opportunity now. Percy Warner is rated just a pound inferior and looks a danger. The Ocovango gelding has also been in action in handicap company and this probably gives him a better chance of getting closer now. Dreal Deal ran well to finish third at Tipperary last month and is another for the shortlist.

ITSWHATUNITESUS got no further than the first on his latest start over hurdles at Punchestown 2 weeks ago but his overall profile over hurdles is a positive one and, making a quick switch to chasing for his leading yard, he could be the way to go. This is competitive however, with Get My Drift, Percy Warner and Dreal Deal others to note. Paul Marvel certainly can't be ruled out either on his chasing bow.

Having run a fine race in a strong handicap at Leopardstown last time, GET MY DRIFT should be able to get off the mark here.

IATO'S ANGEL finished over eight lengths clear of the third when second last time at Musselburgh, and looks to have been well placed by her trainer Keith Dalgleish, as she is 5lb well-in. With the step back up in trip and conditions not likely to pose her any problems, she could be the one to beat. The main threat looks to be Kamanika, who just got up to score by a nose on her latest outing at Nottingham and has been raised 4lb for that success. Marmara Star is another to consider.

IATO'S ANGEL improved again when second at Musselburgh (pair clear) 12 days ago and, turned out from the same mark, he looks a long way ahead of the game. Marmara Star and Tiamat may do battle for second.

Already due another 5lb rise, IATO'S ANGEL (nap) holds strong claims having run so well in both starts since returning last month.

Based on the summary, 2/1 (3) FORTAMOUR and 11/1 (2) MARK'S CHOICE seem to be the strongest contenders. 2/1 (3) FORTAMOUR has won at this course before and is at a lower weight, while 11/1 (2) MARK'S CHOICE has won five times at this course and is undergoing a headgear change. 5.5/1 (1) TWELFTH KNIGHT and 3.5/1 (7) COUNT D'ORSAY may also be worth considering for a place. Therefore, the predicted order of finish is: 1. 2/1 (3) FORTAMOUR 2. 11/1 (2) MARK'S CHOICE 3. 5.5/1 (1) TWELFTH KNIGHT 4. 3.5/1 (7) COUNT D'ORSAY

The selection is FORTAMOUR, who was somewhat unlucky when coming clear on his side of the track when fourth over C&D last month. The seven-year-old won this contest last year off 5lb higher and he is handicapped to go well, with Twelfth Knight, a winner at Redcar on his penultimate start, looking best placed to chase him home. Count D'Orsay and Rich Waters are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

It's been a while since COUNT D'ORSAY last got his head in front but this is a lower-grade handicap than those he is used to contesting, and there were positives to take from his latest effort at Beverley. He gets the nod ahead of Fortamour, who likes it here and looks dangerous on the back of an encouraging effort last time. Twelfth Knight is best of the rest.

Ben Haslam's FORTAMOUR (nap) signalled he's ready to go in again when fourth over C&D last time out and can repeat last year's success

WEDGEWOOD has proved a different proposition since returning as a three-year-old, with two ready triumphs over C&D last month, and a hat-trick looks on the cards off only 5lb higher. Handicap debutant Rewilding is a big danger with the potential that the son of Night Of Thunder may come forward considerably this year. Zebadaay is also interesting in first-time cheekpieces.

WEDGEWOOD appears to be thriving and this is a thin race, so she's clearly the one to beat. Handicap debutant Rewilding is interesting, while Zebadaay could show more.

The one that stands out is Tony Carroll's WEDGEWOOD (nap), who has found plenty of improvement with her two C&D wins this spring.

1st: 8/1 (12) ARCTIC AMBITION 2nd: 5/1 (3) CLIFTON WARRIOR 3rd: 8/1 (4) FALCO BLITZ

ARCTIC AMBITION was left to run out a cosy winner here three weeks ago and may be able to defy an 8lb rise. The Arctic Cosmos gelding looked to have the measure of Gali Flight when that rival unseated at the last and went on to record a five-and-a-half length success. Barring one poor run at Leopardstown he has been progressive over fences since joining Gordon Elliott and there may be another one in him. Clifton Warrior doesn't look harshly treated on his first go in handicap company over fences having been runner-up on both chase starts to date. He could be a danger. Pairc Na Ngael won two when last seen in the autumn and the market may prove the best guide to his chances on his return.

Back to form with a close third at Limerick last time, FALCO BLITZ could be the answer. He has slipped to a dangerous mark and is marginally preferred to The Tack Room, who has posted some creditable efforts in recent months and is also feasibly treated. Arctic Ambition and the hat-trick seeking Pairc Na Ngael both command respect, too.

Likely to be suited by stepping up to this trip after a pair of second places in beginners' chases over 2m, CLIFTON WARRIOR can score.

20:05 Nottingham Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 0.8/1 (1) COVERDALE seems to be the strongest contender as it has recently won a handicap race and is carrying a penalty. 2.25/1 (2) EYETRAP is also a strong contender as it has won a race over the same course and distance and is expected to improve. 20/1 (3) LOOK BACK SMILING and 5/1 (4) ANOTHER DIMENSION are less likely to place based on their recent performances and lack of experience in handicap races. 1st: 0.8/1 (1) COVERDALE 2nd: 2.25/1 (2) EYETRAP 3rd: N/A

COVERDALE appeared to win with plenty in hand at Redcar last week and the son of Expert Eye looks set to double his tally under a 6lb penalty. Eyetrap made most when successful over C&D last month and will be a danger to all if allowed to dictate terms once again, while handicap debutant Another Dimension remains capable of better and cannot be ruled out either.

COVERDALE and Eyetrap boast similar profiles in that they both left their 2-y-o form well behind tackling a new trip when successful recently. Separating them isn't easy but the former overcame a poor track position at Redcar, so he narrowly shades the vote.

Marginal preference is for COVERDALE who won with some authority on his Redcar return and is still 1lb well in under his penalty.

20:15 Ripon Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

1st - 3.5/1 (6) BOLLIN MARGARET, 2nd - 5/1 (7) BIT OF A QUIRKE, 3rd - 7.5/1 (5) CEDAR RAPIDS.

BIT OF A QUIRKE has now dropped to 1lb above his last winning mark, which came over 1m4f at Leicester last July. He made most on that occasion so may well be ridden positively again over this shorter trip, especially when considering he posted a creditable run for third over this distance at Beverley latest. Bollin Margaret finished in fourth behind the selection last time and is noted, while Bushfire completes the shortlist.

BERTIE'S WISH is potentially well treated back on the Flat given his recent hurdling form and, with his stable very much among the winners of late, he appeals as the most persuasive option. Bollin Margaret endured a disappointing 2022 but has dropped to a handy mark as a result and caught the eye on her reappearance. Bushfire is still lightly-raced for Gemma Tutty and is another to consider dropping in grade.

Jennie Candlish's BERTIE'S WISH reverts to the Flat on a handy-looking mark after a productive spell over hurdles and gets the verdict

20:25 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 9.5f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 2.25/1 (1) BLUE YONDER seems to be the most likely to do well as it had a career-best win recently and is well in under the penalty. The horses that will finish in 1st, 2nd and 3rd places are: 1st - 2.25/1 (1) BLUE YONDER 2nd - 3/1 (3) INDICATION ROCKET 3rd - 5.5/1 (2) MAN MADE OF SMOKE

BLUE YONDER could not have won any easier at Beverley last time out and a 6lb penalty for that success may not be enough to prevent him going in again on his return to the all-weather. Man Made Of Smoke finally got off the mark over C&D last week and he can give him the most to think about, along with comfortable Newcastle scorer Indication Rocket.

One of a trio of last-time-out winners, BLUE YONDER improved when bolting up at Beverley 11 days ago and he gets the nod to come out on top again back on all weather. Indication Rocket may emerge as the chief threat, ahead of Man Made of Smoke.

Well in under his penalty and with stamina assured, BLUE YONDER is preferred to Elterwater, pick of the seasonal debutants.

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

1st: 1.75/1 (6) JOSHUA DES FLOS 2nd: 40/1 (1) COMEONARCHIE 3rd: 3.5/1 (12) YOU OUGHTA KNOW

JOSHUA DES FLOS is probably the one to beat on bumper form to date. He has been placed in a couple of strong events, chasing home Ballybawn Belter on debut before finishing third to Absolute Notions at Punchestown when last seen in November, and that sets a good standard. £400,000 purchase Croke Park makes his 'track' debut. The Walk In The Park gelding won the second of two starts in point-to-points when scoring at Dromahane in April 2022 having been runner-up on his debut. Willie Mullins saddles newcomer You Oughta Know and he commands obvious respect. The Beat Hollow is out of a half-sister to Grade 1 winner Pont Alexandre.

CROKE PARK fetched a hefty sum after winning the second of his two starts in points and should be up to making a successful debut for top connections. You Oughta Know is nicely bred and could give him most to think about, while Joshua des Flos is the best of those with Rules form.

It is hard to get away from the claims of JOSHUA DES FLOS(nap), who was third in a strong Punchestown maiden hurdle on his last start

20:40 Nottingham Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the information provided, it is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well. However, 3.33/1 (2) DANDY SPIRIT appears to be the strongest contender, having won its last race and still being feasibly weighted under penalty. Star of Aria is also worth considering, as it finished just over a length behind 3.33/1 (2) DANDY SPIRIT last time and has a 5lb pull. 3/1 (1) CLOSE QUARTERS could be a player if it takes a step forward with the blinkers on. Predicted finishes: 1. 3.33/1 (2) DANDY SPIRIT 2. Star of Aria 3. 3/1 (1) CLOSE QUARTERS

Dandy Spirit (winner) had the measure of Star Of Aria (second) when winning at Wetherby 12 days ago, but the former must now saddle a 5lb penalty, and it would be no surprise were that form to be reversed. The vote goes to CLOSE QUARTERS, who appeared to wander around under pressure at Doncaster last month before plugging on for a creditable fourth. John Quinn's filly is bred to be far better than her current mark, though, and if first-time blinkers can have the desired effect she could open her account.

STAR OF ARIA was a pretty big eye-catcher when runner-up under a hands-and-heels ride and he's fancied to reverse the placings with Dandy Spirit on 5 lb better terms. Close Quarters looks best of the rest.

This may be fought out between old rivals Dandy Spirit and STAR OF ARIA. The latter can turn the tables on 5lb better terms.

20:45 Ripon Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

1st - 1.63/1 (4) ANNALEE LASS, 2nd - 5/1 (1) ZAKRAM, 3rd - 5.5/1 (5) RIBKANA

ANNALEE LASS rates a solid contender based on the pick of her all-weather form and she is fancied to make a winning turf debut here. She lost little in defeat when filling the runner-up spot at Wolverhampton last time, but the unexposed Centerstage has been gradually dropping in the handicap and should not be underestimated. Ribkana also warrants a market check.

Provided that conditions don't prove to be an issue now switched to turf, ANNALEE LASS will take plenty of stopping. She lost little caste in defeat when runner-up at Wolverhampton last time and, with just half-a-dozen starts under her belt, she may have more to offer. Barrolo appeals as the type who will raise his game now moving up in trip for this handicap debut and he is preferred to Ribkana for forecast purposes.

Lawrence Mullaney's ANNALEE LASS arrives on the up and with her Wolverhampton second having been franked she gets the vote.

21:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary provided, 3/1 (1) GUNNERSIDE seems to be the most likely to do well. He has a recent win and is in good form, and is a course winner. 4.5/1 (5) CHIFA and 3/1 (2) WELOOF also have recent wins and are strongly respected, so they could also finish well. Therefore, the predicted order of finish is: 1. 3/1 (1) GUNNERSIDE 2. 4.5/1 (5) CHIFA 3. 3/1 (2) WELOOF

CHIFA has become a regular winner over C&D of late, winning three of his last four, and a 5lb penalty for his most recent win looks manageable, especially with the form of that contest having already been franked in the interim. Gunnerside arrives with similar claims after scoring at Musselburgh last week, while Lingfield winner Weloof is another to note dropping in trip.

GUNNERSIDE has won two of his last three and is still well in on old form, so he gets the nod over fellow last-time-out scorers Chifa and Weloof.

Gunnerside is strongly respected but slight preference is for CHIFA, who has won over C&D in three of his last four runs.

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.
