13:00 Naas Maiden 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well based on this summary, as they all have varying degrees of potential and unknown factors as first-time or early career runners. However, based on their recent performances and breeding, 8/1 (3) JALAYBEE and 9/1 (5) SMASH FACTOR appear to have a strong chance of finishing in the top three. 2.5/1 (1) CARNEGIE HALL and 6.5/1 (7) MATTER OF FACT are also noteworthy newcomers to watch.

The well-bred CARNEGIE HALL may be good enough to make a winning debut here. The son of No Nay Never is a grandson of champion filly Special Duty, who was awarded both the English and French 1000 Guineas in the stewards' room 13 years ago. Jessica Harrington saddles another newcomer by No Nay Never, Matter Of Fact. She is a half-sister to Provocateuse, a three-time winner for the yard, and their dam is a half-sister to Arc winner Bago and dual Group 1 winner Maxios. Jalaybee has form in the book and that is a big asset at this time of year. The Showcasing colt chased home impressive winner Democracy at the Curragh 20 days ago and could go close with that run under his belt.

A few interesting newcomers, but JALAYBEE is speedily bred and shaped well on debut, so he's the most likely winner. Carnegie Hall, Mr Saturday and Devious are all newcomers with appeal, and market support for any of them should be highly respected.

Ballydoyle has already unleashed some nice juveniles and \CARNEGIE HALL\p is the choice; how Devious goes in the market will be noted

13:20 Goodwood Handicap (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow

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

1st: 3.5/1 (5) HARRY MAGNUS, 2nd: 4/1 (3) QUANTUM IMPACT, 3rd: 4/1 (7) HAVANA BLUE

Harry Magnus (first) and Havana Blue (second) are closely matched based on their recent meeting at Newmarket and it would be no surprise to see both go well here. That said, marginal preference is for QUANTUM IMPACT, who improved with every start last year and a mark of 86 may still underestimate Ralph Beckett's colt. The consistent Sharp Power has to be of some interest on his handicap debut, while Boy Browning is another to note.

HARRY MAGNUS had a bit up his sleeve when making a winning handicap debut at Newmarket last month and, with Charlie Hills's colt sure to have more to offer, a 4 lb rise is unlikely to prevent the hat-trick. He gets the nod ahead of Quantum Impact, who is another arriving in search of a third win on the bounce but may have to settle for silver on reappearance. Havana Blue and Magical Merlin are another couple worth considering.

Harry Magnus quickened up well to prevail at Newmarket but HAVANA BLUE ran well in second when the run may have been needed.

13:30 Thirsk Stakes (Class 5) 5f 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 win. However, there are a few horses that stand out as potential contenders for the top three positions. They are: 1. 5/1 (1) EAST BANK - With 1 win from 2 runs this year and a previous win at Beverley, 5/1 (1) EAST BANK has a good chance of bouncing back from a poor performance at Musselburgh. 2. 4/1 (3) LOCHABER - Looked like he needed the run on his Musselburgh debut and is expected to improve in this race. He is also well-bred and has the potential to be a strong contender. 3. 2.25/1 (10) INVINCIBLE TIGER - With a good breeding and a stable that does well with 2yo newcomers, 2.25/1 (10) INVINCIBLE TIGER is definitely one to watch and could surprise everyone with a strong debut. Possible outcomes: 1st: 5/1 (1) EAST BANK 2nd: 4/1 (3) LOCHABER 3rd: 2.25/1 (10) INVINCIBLE TIGER

Lochaber (fourth) finished just in front of East Bank (fifth) last time at Musselburgh and those placings could remain the same, as the former was running on debut and should have learned a lot from that experience. However, with that form possibly not setting a very high standard, a chance can be taken on BELLARCHI, who makes her debut for the Grant Tuer yard. The daughter of Mehmas is bred to have speed and, if ready to go on her first start, she could go close. Invincible Tiger is another newcomer who warrants a market check.

INVINCIBLE TIGER is bred to be very sharp, and makes plenty of appeal on paper. LOCHABER is likely to take a step forward from his debut when seeming very much in need of the experience. Bellarchi is another newcomer who's bred to be speedy.

The nicely bred INVINCIBLE TIGER comes from a yard which has a good record with newcomers so is taken to make a winning debut.

13:35 Naas Handicap 5f 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, some horses that may have a chance at finishing in the top three are 8/1 (7) SHOEBOX KING, 4.5/1 (3) HARRY'S HILL, and 12/1 (6) MYMOMENTINTIME.

There might be a bit more to come from LOKADA this season. The Exceed And Excel filly was progressive at the back end of last year, winning twice at Dundalk before a decent run to finish fifth at the all-weather venue after missing the kick. She remains on the same mark of 72 and is still fairly unexposed. Senor Carrots was a winner at Dundalk last month and got a 10lb hike for a cosy success. He dropped down to a low grade and with a win under his belt, could also progress. Conversant is a lot more exposed but has to be respected after bouncing back to winning ways at Sligo recently.

Plenty are in with a shout. HARRY'S HILL is best forgiven his latest sixth at Cork when poorly drawn and this three-time scorer in 2022 can capitalise on a handy-looking mark now to open his account for this term. In-form pair Shoebox King and Jazzy Dancer appeal as the pick of the rest and can chase home Martin Hassett's 5-y-o in that order.

Provided the ground doesn't deteriorate too much, HARRY'S HILL may be able to run a big race from just 3lb above his last winning mark

1st: 2.5/1 (4) TEUMESSIAS FOX 2nd: 7/1 (10) VAYNOR 3rd: 4.5/1 (7) CRYSTAL DELIGHT

Having been gelded prior to his winter break, TEUMESSIAS FOX bounced back to form in style when running out a bloodless winner at Kempton. The son of Lope De Vega is now 10lb higher back on the grass, but he remains open to further improvement and that rise could underestimate him. Crystal Delight has been knocking on the door on the all-weather and he's respected, along with Vaynor, who returns to the fray in search of his hat-trick. Moktasaab might not be far away either.

A tricky start to proceedings but CRYSTAL DELIGHT wasn't seen to best effect when finishing runner-up at Lingfield 11 weeks ago, so William Jarvis' unexposed 4-y-o gets the verdict to double his tally at the expense of Teumessias Fox, who couldn't have been much more impressive when making a winning reappearance at Kempton a couple of months ago. Vaynor and Capital Theory can fight out third spot.

Having threatened more than he delivered on occasions, TEUMESSIAS FOX (nap) returned from a gelding operation to win in fine style.

1st: 0.67/1 (12) RIGHTSOTOM 2nd: 6/1 (11) PARADISE LOST 3rd: 25/1 (6) DARRABY

RIGHTSOTOM has strong claims after his fourth place in a Grade 1 juvenile hurdle at Aintree. He has been highly tried after a runner-up spot on debut at Fairyhouse in November. He was far from outclassed, though, at the top-level in Liverpool when keeping on for fourth. This is also a drop in class for Jourdefete, so he has to rate a threat. He hasn't cut much ice in three starts in Ireland, however, those outings were in graded company with a best finish of a remote third in a Grade 3 at Fairyhouse on his last start. Henry de Bromhead's Bojak is a newcomer to note. Spy won twice on the Flat in Britain and a market check is advised.

RIGHTSOTOM has run well in the face of a couple of stiff tasks on his last 2 outings, so he stands out as the one to beat with his sights very much lowered here. Paradise Lost, Jourdefete and Bojak can all battle it out for minor honours.

The one that stands out after good runs at Cheltenham and Aintree is RIGHTSOTOM

1st: 2/1 (4) ZELLIE 2nd: 1.63/1 (2) POTAPOVA 3rd: 7/1 (1) LIGHTSHIP

A creditable fourth in last year's 1000 Guineas, ZELLIE never really quite pushed on from that effort, but this represents an ideal opportunity to bounce back to winning ways for new connections. The daughter of Wootton Bassett may have too much for Potapova, who was impressive in the Atalanta Stakes at Sandown on her penultimate start. Runner-up in Listed company at Kempton last month, Lightship is another to consider.

POTAPOVA escapes a penalty for her Sandown Group 3 win last summer and is the one to beat on her reappearance. Zellie was classy for Andre Fabre in France and is feared most having joined another top stable ahead of her return to action.

With no confirmed front-runner, this could become very tactical. ZELLIE is a Group 1 filly running in a Listed race.

1st: 5.5/1 (2) BAY BREEZE 2nd: 5/1 (7) SHOWTIME MAHOMES 3rd: 3/1 (10) MAPLE JACK

A wide-open contest. SHOWTIME MAHOMES (second) and Bay Breeze (winner) renew rivalry from last time at Ripon with the former getting a 3lb pull in the weights on this occasion for that one-length defeat. He also encounters different conditions and that gives him every chance of reversing that form to score. Maple Jack hit the line in front over C&D on his latest outing, when holding a subsequent winner in third, and warrants plenty of respect after only being put up 4lb for that effort.

SHOWTIME MAHOMES is handicapped to win on his strong early-season 3-y-o form, and having gone down by just a length to Bay Breeze at Ripon on return just over a fortnight ago, Grant Tuer's charge gets the vote to reverse placings with that outing under his belt. Maple Jack made a winning reappearance over C&D 2 weeks ago and he can fight out minor honours with As If By Chance.

With the run under his belt and a 3lb pull SHOWTIME MAHOMES is taken to reverse recent C&D form with Bay Breeze.

1st: 1.1/1 (2) CLODY FLYER 2nd: 4.5/1 (5) GENOVESE 3rd: 4/1 (8) OUT OF FOCUS

This can go the way of CLODY FLYER, who ran a highly encouraging race on his Rules debut at Wetherby last month behind a subsequent winner. The six-year-old is taken to go one better, with hurdling debutant Genovese, and Hereford bumper winner Out Of Focus looking best placed to chase him home. Stowaway Jess and The Punt are capable of being in the mix too.

CLODY FLYER made a promising start in this sphere when chasing home Resplendent Grey (winner again since) at Wetherby and is taken to go one better here. Bumper winners Genovese and Out of Focus are appealing types, while The Punt is also shortlisted.

A chance is taken on bumper winner STOWAWAY JESS , who showed promise despite some sloppy jumping on her debut at Market Rasen.

14:10 Naas Stakes 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well based on this summary alone. However, 1.1/1 (3) JOHANNES BRAHMS is a Siyouni colt who is highly respected on debut, and his pedigree suggests that he may have potential to be a winner. Additionally, the stable is in good form. 6/1 (2) GOLD COAST GALLEON is another newcomer who is well-bred and can be expected to perform well. Therefore, these two horses may be strong contenders for the top three spots along with 4/1 (4) TOURIST, who has plenty of speed in his pedigree, and may make for an interesting newcomer.

No form to go on here and Ballydoyle colt JOHANNES BRAHMS gets a token vote. Aidan O'Brien has already introduced some nice juveniles this year and this Siyouni colt was a 200,000gns purchase as a yearling. His dam was Listed-placed in France. Jessica Harrington's charge What A Squeeze is a half-sister to Jack Naylor, a multiple stakes winner for the yard. Joseph O'Brien's Gold Coast Galleon is a son of Magna Grecia who cost 65,000 euros as a yearling. His dam won in France as a juvenile and is from a strong black-type family. Ger Lyons introduces Tourist, a Zoustar colt out of Ainippe who was a smart filly for the yard a few years ago.

All newcomers, and the market should point the way, but JOHANNES BRAHMS stands out on paper, as an expensive yearling, bred for speed. What A Squeeze and Tourist are the other pair respected.

1st - 4/1 (3) GALE FORCE MAYA 2nd - 4.5/1 (1) AZURE BLUE 3rd - 8/1 (5) HEREDIA

GALE FORCE MAYA (fourth) was giving Azure Blue (winner) 4lb when the pair met over C&D in October, but it would be no surprise were Michael Dods' charge, who was progressive last season, to reverse that form on revised terms. Makarova outran her odds to finish second in that same contest and she merits respect, despite having a bit to find once again. Irish-raider Spring Feeling was last seen finishing a good third at Group level and the unexposed filly could rate higher yet.

Michael Dods looks to hold a strong hand here and his upwardly-mobile filly AZURE BLUE is fancied to resume where she left off last autumn and capture another C&D listed success. Fellow C&D scorer Gale Force Maya is more exposed but goes well fresh and she rates the chief threat to her stablemate, although George Boughey's duo Perdika and Queen Olly need considering too along with Irish-challenger Spring Feeling.

The shortlist is headed by the George Boughey-trained fillies QUEEN OLLY and Perdika. Third choice is Azure Blue.

1st: 0.8/1 (11) PINK IN THE PARK 2nd: 3/1 (5) DAME RAPIDE 3rd: 8/1 (7) KATES HILL

PINK IN THE PARK has the ability to win one of these. She has finished runner-up over flights on a couple of occasions and was third, albeit beaten a fair way, in a Grade 1 mares' novices' hurdle at Fairyhouse last month. Dame Rapide was impeded before finishing sixth in a valuable mares' novices' hurdle at Punchestown. There's more to come from her in this discipline. Roccos Inspiration has been placed in five mares' maiden hurdles and got closer to the breakthrough when beaten by half a length over C&D in April. She is a player. Philip Dempsey could have a useful recruit on his hands in Kates Hill. This triple point-to-point winner came in fourth over hurdles at Fairyhouse in a race where the form is working out well. Lady Of The Vale has ability and tries a new trip.

DAME RAPIDE promises to be suited by this longer trip given how she shaped in a well-contested event at Punchestown 11 days ago, so she's put forward as the answer. Pink In The Park is feared most back in calmer waters, with Kates Hill pick of the remainder.

The one to beat could well be decent Flat performer DAME RAPIDE(nap) who ran well at Punchestown and is well capable in this company

Based on the summary, 2.5/1 (2) BISHOP'S CROWN, 10/1 (9) LOVE IS A ROSE, and 4.5/1 (6) ONE MORE WAVE are likely to finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, respectively.

Several of these are interesting contenders and the like of Trussst In Me, who debuts for an in-form yard, and Love Is A Rose, who is entitled to improve upon her introduction at Newmarket last October, need to be monitored carefully in the betting. However, Milteye and BISHOP'S CROWN arguably set the standard on form, with the latter shading the nomination given he has a tad more experience. His dam won over this trip on the AW and, with his yard hitting top gear, a bold effort is expected.

There are races in RAJINDRI and she could be the answer to this tricky maiden. Bishop's Crown and One More Wave are a couple of the other more appealing contenders.

Not a strong maiden and RAJINDRI showed sufficient promise in her two AW runs last season to believe she'll be up to the task.

BRITANNICA was only beaten two and a half lengths behind the potentially smart Prepense over this trip at Newmarket last time, which was a much-improved effort compared to his debut run and, with the potential of more to come, she could prove very difficult to beat. The main threat could be Classic Puzzle, who made a highly-encouraging introduction when only beaten a head over C&D and could get involved with normal improvement. Any market confidence behind O G Beachwear could prove significant.

CLASSIC PUZZLE pulled clear with an experienced rival when runner-up over C&D on her debut last month and rates as the one to beat here with further progress almost a given. Expensive-yearling Britannica ran well at Newmarket last time and appeals as the biggest threat, with Agnes Grey best of the rest.

This can go to BRITANNICA who has run well in both starts at Newmarket and looks capable of better still.

A Grade 2 bumper winner at Aintree last April, LOOKAWAY has yet to put it together over hurdles, but this represents a drop in grade after he contested a valuable contest at Kelso in March. The six-year-old should have too much for Damarta and Gold Link, who has been runner-up on his last three starts but has not been in action since May 2021.

LOOKAWAY sets a good standard down in class and the Grade 2 bumper winner can get the job done for the first time over hurdles. The returning Gold Link is interesting, while Irlandais could do a lot better now jumping.

Grade 2 bumper winner LOOKAWAY will find this much easier than his latest assignment and ought to get off the mark over hurdles.

IVA BATT won on this card last year and also ran a cracker here last time. She just failed by a head to peg back Blairmayne 12 days ago and despite going up 4lb for that effort, she still looks on a nice mark, the same as when she won here 12 months ago. Jon Riggens was three and a quarter lengths behind the selection last time but, at the revised terms and with James Ryan claiming 7lb now, he could be a big danger. Dandyville ended last season in fine form with two wins at Dundalk and has to be respected. He probably wants the rain to stay away.

IVA BATT was having only his second outing for Ado McGuinness when a promising second over C&D last month and can go one better now. The thriving Tawaazon, Eddie Lynam's Jon Riggens and the selection's stablemate Dream Today head the dangers.

ANADORA won on her two previous seasonal debuts in Britain and shaped like a return to form was imminent when last seen

In a wide-open contest, only a tentative vote can go to BLACKROD. The son of Mayson was well in command when winning this from a 2lb lower mark last year, and he might be able to repeat the feat following a recent pipe-opener at Kempton. Tanmawwy defied market weakness only to be narrowly denied at Newbury on his return to action. He is 2lb well-in and merits respect, as do Probe, Chairmanoftheboard, Lethal Levi and Popmaster.

A fiercely competitive sprint in which Charles Hills's TANMAWWY edges the vote given he shaped promisingly when runner-up at Newbury last time and can race off an unchanged mark here. Probe has made an excellent start to life with Jennie Candlish and is feared most, although Admiral D, Leap Abroad and Chairmanoftheboard are others who can have a say.

The answer to a highly competitive sprint could be the progressive 4yo LEAP ABROAD who shaped well when fourth at the Craven meeting.

There should be more races to be won with TROUBLED TIMES. This former Listed bumper winner got off the mark over flights at Naas in March and is well thought of by connections. Neveradullmoment has been a beaten favourite on his last three starts and gets cheekpieces. He should be involved. Heliko Conti faced a tough task in Punchestown, but ran well for a long way before finishing unplaced in a Grade B handicap hurdle over C&D last month. Suttons Hill might appreciate this smaller field. He has been placed in two bumpers and a pair of maiden hurdles since winning his point-to-point. Double Pink won in Tramore and has more on her plate, but isn't out of it.

There is more to come from TROUBLED TIMES and she can follow up her impressive Naas success back up in trip now. Suttons Hill could be the danger.

Maghlaak struck over C&D in September to make it two out of three, and the four-year-old now tackles a handicap for the first time off a possibly lenient mark. However, preference is still for STAY WELL, who can be forgiven his latest effort at York when he bled from the nose. The son of Iffraaj was holding his form quite well prior to that and he goes well fresh. Bad Company was a decisive winner at Epsom and is respected off 5lb higher.

FARASI LANE looked a little unlucky when stepped up to this trip for the first time at Lingfield over Easter and might prove the answer to this tricky handicap. Stay Well has a good record when fresh so is respected on his reappearance for the in-form Hughie Morrison stable. Time Interval and the unexposed Honiton also enter calculations.

A chance is taken on FARASI LANE, who has gone well here in the past and is unexposed over a trip that he should stay fine.

GREAT STATE won well on his handicap debut over 5f at Southwell in March and he could be hard to stop, despite an 8lb rise, if transferring that form to turf. Mid Winster ran encouragingly at big odds on her return to action at Musselburgh a month ago and she merits plenty of respect, while Catch Cunningham and the unexposed Sporting Hero also make the shortlist.

SPORTING HERO won 2 of his 3 stars as a juvenile and starts life in handicaps from a lenient-looking mark, so is fancied to get the better recent Southwell winner Great State. The similarly unexposed Vespasian is preferred to Mid Winster for third.

This can go to the improving GREAT STATE who encounters grass for the first time, but he has a classy turf pedigree on the dam's side.

The drop back to three miles can work the oracle for WILLIAM EWART after a creditable second at Stratford on his most recent outing over further. The six-year-old looks as though he could make up into a decent staying chaser and he is narrowly preferred to comfortable Southwell winner Whataboutyeh. Galante De Romay is interesting on the step up in trip, while Carlo Du Berlais needs considering as well.

WHATABOUTYEH was much improved when landing a gamble on his handicap debut over hurdles at Southwell last week and can follow up if proving as good over fences. William Ewart has been in fine form over hurdles himself and could figure. Carlo du Berlais is also interesting going over fences for the first time.

1st: 4/1 (1) LORD MASSUSUS 2nd: 6/1 (9) RUN RAN RUN 3rd: 8/1 (7) POLAR BEAR

A very competitive looking heat and KING OF SCOTIA may prove best. The Kessaar gelding ran really well when chasing home stablemate Red Letter Bray on his comeback run here in testing conditions 12 days ago and the going probably wasn't ideal. He had won at Dundalk when previously seen in December and, although rain is forecast, it probably won't be as deep as last time, when he was reported to have lugged left in the closing stages. Run Ran Run has also handled heavy ground recently but may appreciate it a bit nicer. He only got home by a nose at the Curragh last month after running around slightly in the closing stages and there looks more to come. Tough Talk is a fascinating runner. He beat Little Big Bear on his debut last season but hasn't been seen since chasing home Blackbeard in the Marble Hill Stakes. That long absence and the application of blinkers on his return would be a slight concern.

Cork-scorer SOMETHING NICE posted a very good second on his handicap debut there last time and another bold showing looks on the cards here so he gets the vote at the chief expense of impressive Gowran winner Lord Massusus. A solid case can be made for both Vanguard Star and King of Scotia too and they complete the shortlist in a very competitive handicap.

Progressive Lord Massusus is likely to show up well but RUN RAN RUN gets nearly a stone from the top weight and may have his measure

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

1st - 5.5/1 (12) MAJESTIC 2nd - 6/1 (8) JIMI HENDRIX 3rd - 12/1 (1) CADILLAC

Saga sports first-time cheekpieces back off a break and the now-gelded son of Invincible Spirit should not be underestimated. However, TURNTABLE landed a double when scoring over 1m2f at this track in October and is fancied to make a winning return to action for his new trainer, even though he is rated 5lb higher. Jimi Hendrix has to shoulder a 5lb penalty following a facile victory in the Spring Cup at Newbury, while Dutch Decoy is interesting stepping up slightly in trip.

Course-specialist TURNTABLE appeals as one who might up his game again for new trainer Harry Eustace so he's the suggestion. Newbury Spring Cup winner Jimi Hendrix will be a major threat if the blinkers work again. Royal runner Saga is sure to have his supporters and he's a contender if a change of headgear helps him to bounce back to last year's Britannia form. Cambridgeshire 1-3 Majestic and Dual Identity are others to consider in this ultra-competitive handicap.

This race looks red-hot but Cambridgeshire winner MAJESTIC gets the vote ahead of course specialist Turntable and Jimi Hendrix.

15:33 Cork Handicap Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Predicted order of finish: 1. 2.75/1 (10) MISS TEMPO 2. 5.5/1 (18) SKINNIDER 3. 33/1 (11) RAMBLING ROSE

The starting point has to be Miss Tempo. After delivering at Naas in March, she made all to come in by nine lengths at Tipperary on Thursday evening. This would be a quick turnaround for her after that race over an extended 3m, but she won well. SKINNIDER is up in class, but there didn't appear to be any fluke about her big-priced success over a shorter trip at this track last month. She has a lovely light weight and does run this track well (close second in a bumper here on debut). Monza Man posted a much-improved effort in second over a similar trip at Thurles in March. He is a handicap debutant with brighter prospects than most. Garcon Doux is on a competitive mark with Niall Moore's claim factored in. Another handicap debutant, Kendancer, hasn't got a bad record over hurdles and was noted making late progress on the Flat in Gowran Park after more than 16 months off. Banks Boy has been off for the guts of a year, but was last seen winning in Down Royal.

There was much to like about MISS TEMPO's performance when landing a big-field Tipperary handicap on Thursday and she could take some stopping if turned out again quickly here. If the 7-y-o doesn't go to post, Memory of Youth could be the way to go but there are several others to consider, too, not least Garcon Doux and Halsafari.

The selection is SKINNIDER who came right back to form over 2m here last month and the step up in trip should suit her well

15:40 Thirsk Handicap (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, it is difficult to confidently predict which horse will finish in the top three. However, some horses to consider are 6/1 (14) PISANELLO, 12/1 (2) SAFE VOYAGE, 8/1 (7) NORTHERN EXPRESS, 11/1 (10) BILLYB, and 12/1 (8) CARNIVAL ZAIN. 6/1 (14) PISANELLO has a good record and performed well in this race last year, while 12/1 (2) SAFE VOYAGE has had some strong performances in the past but has been inconsistent recently. 8/1 (7) NORTHERN EXPRESS and 11/1 (10) BILLYB have both had respectable recent performances and could perform well in this race. 12/1 (8) CARNIVAL ZAIN has a good record but may struggle with the demands of his current mark. Ultimately, it is hard to definitively predict which horses will finish in the top three without more information on current form and other factors.

NORTHERN EXPRESS did not get the clearest of passages when fifth at Musselburgh on his seasonal return last month but that was still a very promising effort. With more luck and off a 1lb lower mark, it would be no surprise to see the five-year-old play a leading role here. Symbolize rarely runs poorly at this venue and should not be underestimated, while Autumn Festival and Austrian Theory are others to note.

A competitive renewal of a valuable event. BILLYB is a likeable type who was steadily progressive last year and there's every chance he could still have more to offer this season, which marks him down as a more interesting contender than most. Northern Express fared best of those held up on his reappearance at Musselburgh and must enter calculations, along with Pisanello, who was a good third in this race 12 months ago and has a commendable record fresh.

The vote goes to last year's third PISANELLO who won on his 2022 reappearance and has useful claimer mark Winn taking 5lb off.

15:45 Goodwood Handicap (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary provided, it is difficult to confidently predict which horse will finish in the top three. However, 3/1 (4) TUDDENHAM GREEN and Mark of Gold are both mentioned as having good chances and are highly respected, while 11/1 (8) ANISOPTERA is noted as arriving in excellent form and should be in the shake-up. Therefore, the prediction is that 3/1 (4) TUDDENHAM GREEN will finish first, followed by Mark of Gold in second and 11/1 (8) ANISOPTERA in third.

TUDDENHAM GREEN remains relatively unexposed on the Flat and arrives in this following a creditable second over 2m at Nottingham last month. He is rated 2lb higher for that run, but this represents a drop in class for Alan King's four-year-old and he can post his best effort to date in this sphere. Tibbie Dunbar steps back up in trip following a decent fourth at Bath last time out and is fancied to go well, while Anisoptera can also make her presence felt.

MARK OF GOLD is without a run on the level since 2021 but he has enjoyed an excellent time of it over hurdles for Gary Moore and can capitalise on a handy-looking mark back on the Flat now. Capone has a long absence to overcome but goes well fresh and is another who is weighted to have a big say. In-form pair Tuddenham Green and Anisoptera both command lots of respect too.

Nottingham runner-up TUDDENHAM GREEN (nap) is taken to go one better and open his Flat account. Mark Of Gold is feared most.

1st: 20/1 (5) ASTROMAN 2nd: 10/1 (1) EMBOLDEN 3rd: 6.5/1 (3) AWESOME FOURSOME

DEAR RALPHY travelled smoothly into contention before falling at Plumpton on his handicap debut last month, and the son of Westerner could make amends granted a clear round of jumping. Awesome Foursome merits respect raised just 2lb for a good second at Market Rasen, while top-weight Embolden holds solid form claims and must also be considered. Ideallko, who finished a creditable fourth at Ffos Las 62 days ago, should not be underestimated either.

DEAR RALPHY was set to make a winning handicap debut before departing at Plumpton and can put matters right here if none the worse. Townhill and Dragoon Springs are a couple of the others to consider.

Low-mileage 7yo DEAR RALPHY looked unlucky not to win at Plumpton last month and is taken to gain compensation here.

15:55 Naas Group 3 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary, 2.5/1 (2) CAROLINE STREET has the best chance on form and should be included in the top three. 12/1 (4) DRUMMIN LIFE is also a strong contender, having won a maiden race and previously finishing behind 6/1 (6) FONISKA. For the third spot, 6/1 (6) FONISKA could be a good choice despite not quite seeing out the trip on heavy ground in their last outing.

CAROLINE STREET had a standout piece of form last season, when chasing home Auguste Rodin in Group 2 company on Irish Champions Weekend, and she looks a nice filly for middle distances this term. She failed to repeat that form on her final start at the Curragh but ran into traffic problems that day over a shorter trip. Despite being by No Nay Never, she shapes like this kind of trip will bring about improvement and it will be fascinating to see how she fares on her return. Foniska has already posted a good effort this term when finishing third in the Salsabil Stakes at Navan. She gave way in the closing stages then to stablemate Village Voice and runner-up Jackie Oh having looked like she had her rivals on the stretch over a furlong from home. She has to be respected and may be able to confirm form with the fourth-placed from that race, Lumiere Rock.

CAROLINE STREET is taken to strike for last year's winning trainer-jockey combination. She sets a good standard based on her Group 2 second at Leopardstown in September and this step up in trip should be in her favour. Red Riding Hood and Drummin Life are promising fillies, while the former's stablemate Diamondsareforever is completely unexposed and needs a close look.

It wouldn't be a surprise to see Navan third FONISKA try to make all again and conditions won't be as gruelling on this occasion

1st: 3.33/1 (14) TWILIGHT CALLS 2nd: 14/1 (10) RAASEL 3rd: 20/1 (5) EQUILATERAL

An impressive winner of a Group 3 at Dundalk back in October, Irish challenger Manaccan has to be considered a leading candidate. Even so, it could be worth siding with VADREAM, who bounced back in emphatic style when landing the Cammidge Trophy at Doncaster and then finished a fair sixth on All-Weather Championships Finals Day. C&D winner Twilight Calls was last seen chasing home Australian sensation Nature Strip in the King's Stand and is another to consider.

MANACCAN enjoyed a tremendous 2022 and looks a sprinter going places, one who could make the breakthrough at the highest level this year. He can make a successful return from stall 1 under Frankie Dettori. It looks a red-hot renewal of the Palace House and good cases can be made for plenty of others, Twilight Calls and Equality chief amongst them.

Twilight Calls is a contender but RAASEL made a painless transition from handicaps in 2022 and can add to his Group 3 win in July.

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

1st: 7/1 (5) GOLD BULLION 2nd: 1.38/1 (9) LISNAGAR FORTUNE 3rd: 20/1 (12) PRAY TELL

LISNAGAR FORTUNE is a half-brother to a Cheltenham Festival Stayers' Hurdle winner, so should appreciate this step up to an extended 3m. He won his bumper on debut at Punchestown before being beaten into second in a maiden hurdle at Tramore on New Year's Day. Present Soldier is a former point-to-point winner who has shown some promise in fourth at Naas and in third at Leopardstown. They were over shorter trips and he could come into his own over 3m. A first-time tongue-strap is fitted. Pray Tell is another winner 'between the flags' and performed well when third at Tipperary in April. Gold Bullion, Japers Jack and Knockraha Lass add further spice to the mix.

LISNAGAR FORTUNE surely has more to offer for Willie Mullins and could be the way to go, although Present Soldier, Gold Bullion and For Fear of Frost have appealing claims also.

A maiden with plenty of strength in depth. MISTY'S GIFT is given another chance back on better ground

16:15 Thirsk Handicap (Class 5) 14f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 4.5/1 (5) SCOTTISH DANCER seems to be the strongest contender with consistent placings in his last three outings and is respected by the new yard. 7/1 (4) JOIE DE VIVRE's recent jumps efforts have been nothing special, and although he won on his last Flat run at C&D, he has bit to prove. 9/1 (2) MYBOYMAX has struggled in recent outings and 5/1 (3) EL BORRACHO is making a rare flat appearance, although he has been doing well over jumps. 1.88/1 (6) WANNABE BRAVE has potential and is relatively unexposed in handicaps with a fair third at Southwell latest. Therefore, our prediction for the top three horses would be: 1. 4.5/1 (5) SCOTTISH DANCER 2. 1.88/1 (6) WANNABE BRAVE 3. 7/1 (4) JOIE DE VIVRE

JOIE DE VIVRE, who won over C&D last September, appeals on his first run back after wind surgery. Having worn cheekpieces that day, and sported a visor in four subsequent outings over obstacles, it's noteworthy that he races without any headgear on this occasion. However, he has previous winning form under such circumstances and gets the vote. Conversely, Wannabe Brave rates as a big threat on his first run in a visor, while Hellenista can also go well on these terms.

A tricky contest, the percentage call just going to WANNABE BRAVE, who got back on track at Southwell last time and has the benefit of race fitness on his side over Scottish Dancer, who ended last season with a string of creditable placed efforts. Iconique can perhaps complete the placings.

The suggestion is SCOTTISH DANCER, with first-time headgear and a new yard reasons why he might find improvement on his reappearance.

A small but open contest, in which the vote goes to SAFARI DREAM. He was progressive last season, winning all three of his handicap starts (the latest from 2lb lower), before achieving a midfield finish in a valuable sales race at Newmarket. Drawn well in stall six, he can make a successful return to action, though recent Nottingham scorer Umming N' Ahing ought to provide a stern challenge. Simple Man is another who merits serious consideration.

None of these sprinters can be safely ruled out but Henry Candy's SIMPLE MAN had looked a very good prospect when making a winning debut at Nottingham last autumn and is well worth forgiving his subsequent seventh in a Doncaster listed event. He gets the vote ahead of the handily-weighted Rocking Ends, although hat-trick seeking pair Sera Dawn and Umming N' Ahing need factoring in too.

Competitive. The Thames Boatman and Safari Dream are respected but SIMPLE MAN looked one to follow when winning on his debut.

1st: 5/1 (2) KINONDO KWETU 2nd: 8/1 (1) CARIBEAN BOY 3rd: 8/1 (13) GO ON CHEZ

KINONDO KWETU has risen through the handicap ranks this season, going up a total of 30lb from an opening mark of 107. He's faced a couple of tall tasks recently, but he might be able to resume progress back in slightly calmer waters. Caribean Boy was an impressive winner at Cheltenham last month and must go on the shortlist raised 5lb, while Morning Spirit, who is back down to his last winning mark, is also considered.

KINONDO KWETU is 2-2 over the Uttoxeter fences and can land this valuable prize having run a screamer off his mark at Aintree. The returning Go On Chez and Arizona Cardinal are a couple of others to consider.

Dual course winner KINONDO KWETU (nap) took well to chasing in the early part of last season and was a very good third at Aintree.

Based on the summary, the horses that are predicted to do well and finish in the top three are 3.5/1 (4) NEW VARIANT, 2.5/1 (6) SIGNORA BELLISSIMA, and 4/1 (5) ROMAN HANDS. 3.5/1 (4) NEW VARIANT has won two consecutive races, including a career-best win and seems to be in good form. 2.5/1 (6) SIGNORA BELLISSIMA has shown promise and won a 12-runner handicap race, and with a good front-running ride, she could be a contender. 4/1 (5) ROMAN HANDS won a 15-runner maiden race and has responded well in the past, although the step up in distance could be a challenge.

ROMAN HANDS could be nicely handicapped on his return to action. The Holy Roman Emperor colt won a Galway maiden when last seen at the festival meeting there and that form has worked out well since. The third horse Keep In Touch was placed in a couple of stakes races subsequently, while the fourth horse, Thunderbear, was a very easy winner at Nottingham the other day off a mark of 85. New Variant has already won this season and looks an obvious danger. The New Approach gelding won a solid-looking maiden at Tipperary 16 days ago and remains on the same mark. Duke Of Leggagh was outclassed in the Tetrarch Stakes the other day but can't be discounted taking a drop in grade now.

SIGNORA BELLISSIMA was impressive when making all on her return at Leopardstown and there should be plenty more to come from her. She can follow up here, with New Variant and Duke of Leggagh feared most.

A little expensive to follow so far, SEA LEGEND nonetheless has plenty of solid form and may get his turn with a run under his belt

1st: 8/1 (2) CHALDEAN 2nd: 4/1 (10) LITTLE BIG BEAR 3rd: 2/1 (1) AUGUSTE RODIN

A gripping renewal of the 2000 Guineas, with several eyecatching contenders lining up, including Little Big Bear, who bolted up in the Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh when last seen. His stablemate AUGUSTE RODIN is narrowly preferred, though, with the son of Deep Impact looking a potential star when registering a striking success in the Vertem Futurity at Doncaster, and connections could harbour Triple Crown ambitions. Things didn't go to plan in the Greenham for Chaldean, who unseated Frankie Dettori coming out of the stalls, but he was impressive in the Dewhurst here.

AUGUSTE RODIN did everything right at 2 and can become the fourth horse (and third from his yard) since 2018 to complete the Futurity/2000 Guineas double. His stablemate Little Big Bear is bred to stay 1m and would be a major threat if reproducing anything close to his Phoenix Stakes form. Chaldean suffered an unfortunate experience on his reappearance but his juvenile form stacks up well and he can prove best of the home team ahead of Sakheer, who is already smart but isn't certain to stay 1m.

One who stays 1m well is preferred to the high-profile candidates who need to stretch their stamina, so AUGUSTE RODIN gets the vote.

1st: 5/1 (4) TENNESSEE TITAN 2nd: 12/1 (7) FEMALE APPROACH 3rd: 6/1 (13) WELL LOVED

PRESENTING POINT could take advantage of his hurdle mark. He is rated much higher over fences, but finished a close third on his last start in this sphere over an extended 2m6f at Thurles. He stays 3m. There is plenty of stamina in Unheralded's pedigree and he may be seen to better effect over this sort of distance. He is a half-brother to a six-time winner who really relished a staying trip. Unheralded stayed on for third on handicap debut over an extended 2m4f in Tramore last month, albeit some way off the winner. Whip Whitaker put in a fair effort for third behind an easy winner at Kilbeggan and could have more to offer. Holiday In Kerry has been placed in two of his last three races including over 3m in Clonmel. Tennessee Titan, Echo Gate, Female Approach and O Mio Babbino will have their supporters.

TENNESSEE TITAN signalled he's ready to open his account when runner-up at Wexford and can capitalise on a handy-looking mark and go one better at the chief expense of Gavin Cromwell's Fairyhouse fourth Echo Gate, who can take a step forward now his stamina is drawn out more. Female Approach hinted at a revival when fourth at Kilbeggan and needs factoring in too.

Wide open and a chance is taken on the lightly-weighted WHIP WHITAKER who shaped encouragingly over this trip at Kilbeggan

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 as many of them have something to prove or are unproven at the current conditions. However, 7/1 (3) DIAMOND HAZE stands out as a potential contender, as he has won over the course and distance before and is just 1lb lower than when he last won a year ago. For the purposes of giving a prediction, we will choose 7/1 (3) DIAMOND HAZE to win, with 7.5/1 (9) VICTORIA FALLS and 4.5/1 (11) ANIERES GIRL finishing second and third respectively.

It might be worth chancing that the relatively unexposed JACK DANIEL can make a successful return after a break since December. He had corrective surgery for a wind problem last summer and, given his three subsequent performances on the all-weather were encouraging, the five-year-old could represent good value now back on turf. Fahari is open to progress and is feared most, although Sir Maxi also rates as a key player.

DIAMOND HAZE goes well at this track and should be all the better for his reappearance, so he's taken to strike from a handy-looking mark. Anieres Girl caught the eye on her return at Nottingham and remains unexposed, with fellow 3-y-o Fahari also feared on the back of a career best.

The vote goes to DIAMOND HAZE (nap) who has dropped 1lb lower than when winning over C&D just under a year ago.

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 have potential and could be considered for a top spot are 7.5/1 (6) KITARO KICH, who represents an in-form yard and is up in trip, 5.5/1 (1) MILITARY TYCOON, who is bred to be suited by the new trip and is making his handicap debut, and 4/1 (9) JOHNJAY, who won his last race and is a promising type. 6/1 (8) SEA SQUARED and 22/1 (10) CHERRYHAWK could also be contenders as they are both up in trip and making their handicap debut, with potential for improvement.

Johnjay made a successful handicap debut at Bath last month and he merits respect, along with Entrancement, who made a promising return to action when finishing fourth at Nottingham 31 days ago. However, preference is for MILITARY TYCOON. Hugo Palmer's charge has looked in need of a step up in trip having been outpaced on all three of his starts over 1m and, judged on his debut run when he finished within four lengths of the now 92-rated Yaanaas, he could be well treated.

JOHNJAY made the perfect start for Roger Teal at Bath last month and should have more to offer now he's up and running. He can go in again. I Still Have Faith and Military Tycoon are a couple of the dangers.

The percentage call goes to KITARO KICH, whose stable has been back among the winners recently. Sea Squared is second choice.

THE CARPENTER bolted up at Newbury in March and the unexposed son of Shantaram, whose only defeat came at the hands of the now 137-rated Gatsby Grey in a Navan bumper, can continue his progress. Impulsive One failed to make an impact in the Martin Pipe, but he enters calculations down in class. Quoi De Neuf reverts to hurdles having finished a good second over fences at Ludlow last time and he's another to be interested in.

THE CARPENTER maintained his unbeaten record over hurdles in impressive fashion in a novice at Newbury last time and he's likely to prove better than a mark of 129, so he gets the nod ahead of Gardener. The likeable Quoi de Neuf should also be on the premises.

Based on the summary, 1.25/1 (17) SANDY CREEK, 5.5/1 (6) BEAUTY BELLA, and 33/1 (13) MUHAARAR'S GIRL are predicted to do well. However, as with any prediction, there is always a level of uncertainty in horse racing.

UNLESS has already been runner-up twice this season and may be able to get across the line now with blinkers applied. The daughter of Justify and Cheveley Park winner Clemmie chased home recent Group 3 winner Honey Girl on her return at the Curragh but was turned over at a short price at Dundalk subsequently. That run didn't look up to the level of her initial effort this term and the headgear may sharpen her up a bit now. Frankel filly Sandy Creek was runner-up on her sole outing at the Curragh last June and has to be respected despite a long absence. She chased home the smart Never Ending Story that day, who won the 1,000 Guineas Trial at Leopardstown last month. Beauty Bella is another with decent placed form but may have a bit to find off an official rating of 77.

SANDY CREEK has been absent for 10 months since her debut but that effort was promising and she's worth a chance to confirm it, with confidence in her chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. The first-time blinkered Unless was turned over at short odds on AW last time but has some quite useful form and is the obvious danger. Mashia is a newcomer to note in the betting.

The form of SANDY CREEK's narrow defeat on debut has worked out nicely with the winner proving to be a Pattern level filly since

SHAQUILLE has made quite the start to his fledgling career and the form of his most recent success at Wolverhampton looks even stronger than it did at the time. The booking of James Doyle is another plus and he gets the vote ahead of the unexposed Buccabay and Expert Agent, who is three from three on the all-weather since being gelded. Eminency was unlucky when not getting the clearest of runs at Kempton last month and he must also enter calculations.

Plenty with chances but EMINENCY looked extremely unlucky not to win on his reappearance at Kempton 17 days ago and is worth backing to make amends. Expert Agent has done nothing but improve since undergoing a gelding operation and there's no reason why he can't transfer his all-weather form to turf. Ferrous shaped better than the bare result on his C&D handicap debut and completes the shortlist.

Ferrous has more to offer but EMINENCY can confirm the promise of his Kempton fourth.

ESCARPMENT was no match for a talented newcomer at Newbury last month but he should find this task slightly easier. Martyn Meade's charge can get off the mark at the fourth time of asking, with Kempton runner-up Maximilian Caesar and Theme Park looking best placed to chase him home. A comfortable winner at Redcar on his penultimate start, Overrule is also capable of being thereabouts.

THEME PARK may have disappointed on his first start for new connections at Redcar last month, but he was entitled to need the outing so Nigel Tinkler's charge can make a winning handicap debut. Escarpment is another venturing into handicaps for the first time so he may emerge as the main danger after an encouraging reappearance, with the consistent Maximilian Caesar rounding off the shortlist.

Escarpment and THEME PARK are handicap newcomers with untapped potential and the return to a sounder surface can suit the latter.

17:25 Cork NH Flat Race 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The horse with the best chance based on the provided information is 1.75/1 (8) FAMILIAR DREAMS, having placed second in a recent listed bumper race and setting the standard. For 2nd place, 6/1 (7) ELEANOR OLIPHANT is likely to be a strong contender based on market strength and a respected source. For 3rd place, 4.5/1 (13) MAKE SUNSHINE is a possibility, having shown potential on her debut with a fourth-place finish and may do better with a drop back to a shorter distance. The reserves, 25/1 (19) LITTLE GREEN LADY, 33/1 (20) FORZA ANGELINA, and 25/1 (21) OLYMPIC PARK, are unlikely to make an impact based on the information provided.

FAMILIAR DREAMS brings strong form to this contest. Anthony McCann's charge attempted to make all in a Listed bumper at Limerick in March and only gave best to the winner. The horse behind her in third impressed in winning at Down Royal on Monday. Make Sunshine was strong in the market before her debut over further in Limerick. She may have hit the front a bit early before ultimately dropping to fourth. The winner of that bumper franked the form in no uncertain terms by landing a Grade 3 mares' bumper at Punchestown. Young Lucy is the most experienced horse in the field and is in good hands, so could get closer. There's a whole host of newcomers on show for which the market will be informative. Eleanor Oliphant is a half-sister to a bumper winner who has since been Listed-placed over hurdles.

FAMILIAR DREAMS could be hard to catch after running a blinder in a listed contest at Limerick 6 weeks ago. Make Sunshine can do better, while Eleanor Oliphant is a newcomer to note.

The Jamie Codd-ridden FAMILIAR DREAMS holds strong claims on her Limerick second, the form of which was franked by the third recently

1st - 10/1 (3) DILLARCHIE 2nd - 10/1 (1) AAZZA 3rd - Kelso

AAZZA ran with plenty of credit when runner-up at Carlisle on her most recent outing and the seven-year-old, who drops in grade on this occasion, has been found a suitable opportunity to get her head back in front. Dillarchie was given a 4lb rise for scoring at Wetherby last month and she is capable of being in the mix. Others to note include Having A Barney and Pipers Cross.

Last year's renewal of this race went to one trained by Mark Walford and in TARA BROOCH and Having A Barney the yard saddles two live contenders this time round, too. The latter's claims are the more obvious but it's not hard to envisage the well-bred Tara Brooch taking a big step forward now moving into handicap company and going up in trip. If able to put his reappearance run behind him, Freethinker won't be far away and Pipers Cross is also of interest.

17:40 Uttoxeter Handicap Chase (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 2.25/1 (7) DUKE OF DECEPTION and 3.5/1 (1) FEIVEL seem to be the most promising contenders. 8/1 (9) OUT THE GLEN could also be in the reckoning if he gets an easy lead. Therefore, the predicted order of finish is: 1st - 2.25/1 (7) DUKE OF DECEPTION 2nd - 3.5/1 (1) FEIVEL 3rd - 8/1 (9) OUT THE GLEN

Duke Of Deception scored by just under four lengths in a class 5 event last time at Huntingdon, but he takes a drop in distance and a rise in class, which could hand a chance to the Dan Skelton-trained DOG OF WAR. The nine-year-old gelding has had a wind operation since last seen when pulled up at Carlisle in February, and has been dropped to his last winning mark. Feivel drops in class and is also considered.

The drop back in trip could suit FEIVEL, who travelled well for a long time at Haydock and figures off a handy mark. He gets the nod. Duke of Deception and Out The Glen are feared most.

This can go to in-form DUKE OF DECEPTION who beat a subsequent winner convincingly at Huntingdon on his latest start.

1st: 2.5/1 (5) STRIKING STAR 2nd: 2.5/1 (1) YACOWLEF 3rd: 2.5/1 (3) DIVINE LIBRA

Marginal preference is for CHARTWELL HOUSE, who ran an excellent race on his return over C&D last month when staying on for third behind a couple of upwardly-mobile colts. An unchanged mark of 82 still looks feasible and he is preferred to Yacowlef, a solid second over 6f at the Craven meeting here, and Striking Star, who is bred to be much better than this level. Completing the shortlist are the likes of Choisya, Divine Libra and Verdansk.

A typically competitive three-year-old handicap, with the top-weight YACOWLEF fancied to go one the better than when an excellent second over 6f here at the Craven Meeting. Godolphin's regally-bred Striking Star has the pedigree to prove much better than his opening mark and rates as a major threat, with Choisya, Chartwell House and Prospering others to consider.

The shortlist is headed by YACOWLEF and Chartwell House who both performed well here on Craven day. Choisya is third choice.

Based on the information provided, 2.75/1 (1) BATTAAH and 1.5/1 (2) ELITE STATUS seem to be the strongest contenders. 3/1 (5) MATLOOB and 6/1 (4) LIGHTNING POINT also have strong paper appeal. Therefore, the predicted order of finish is: 1. 2.75/1 (1) BATTAAH 2. 1.5/1 (2) ELITE STATUS 3. 3/1 (5) MATLOOB or 6/1 (4) LIGHTNING POINT

A chance is taken with MATLOOB, who is bred to be speedy being a son of Dark Angel out of Norfolk winner Shang Shang Shang. Roger Varian's record at this track is another plus and he can see off Battaah, who ran a very encouraging race on debut over C&D last month. Fellow debutants Elite Status and Lightning Point can also have a say in proceedings.

All bar one are newcomers, and the market should tell a tale, but MATLOOB cost 6 figures as a yearling and is bred to be very sharp, so he gets the nod as things stand. Elite Status has a similar profile, an even more expensive yearling and pedigree all speed. Battaah went off at pretty short odds on debut and shaped quite well, so he's much respected.

Expensive buy ELITE STATUS gets the nod for Karl Burke but there are other likely sorts among the newcomers and the betting will guide.

18:05 Hexham Selling Hurdle (Class 4) 16f 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 which horse will do well. However, 2/1 (7) FANCY FOUNDATIONS might be worth taking a chance on with the addition of a visor and tongue tie. The horses that might finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd are 2/1 (7) FANCY FOUNDATIONS, 3/1 (1) EXCELCIUS, and 25/1 (4) BEBSIDE BANTER.

FANCY FOUNDATIONS was a faller over the larger obstacles on his yard debut for Laura Morgan at Fakenham, but the change of headgear to a visor, along with the application of a tongue-tie, may give him the confidence boost required in a contest lacking any depth on paper. Trebizond has to be respected on his first start for Mike Smith, despite returning from nearly 10 months off. Excelcius appears best of the remainder.

In a seller where nothing arrives with compelling claims it's worth taking a chance that the one-time useful FANCY FOUNDATIONS, who hasn't been with the Laura Morgan stable for long, retains enough ability to win at this level. It's possible a drop in class and a new headgear combination might spark Excelcius back to life so he's second choice ahead of R Mike Smith's Irish recruit Trebizond.

1st: 3/1 (6) BOUNDSY BOY 2nd: 6.5/1 (8) HAVEYOUGOTMYMONEY 3rd: 20/1 (4) LOOKFORARAINBOW

Boundsy Boy went in over this trip at Huntingdon in February and has had two runs on the Flat since. Returning to this sphere off 2lb higher, he is likely to be thereabouts. The Michael Roberts-trained ANDAPA looks an interesting contender in this field, as she returns from a break and has undergone a wind operation. The daughter of Kapgarde wasn't beaten far over C&D when last seen and that level of form could be enough to see her strike. Ingennio, Haveyougotmymoney and The Wild Westerner are noted too.

HAVEYOUGOTMYMONEY was a bit disappointing when last seen but he returns from a break with a top jockey on board, so he's worth a chance to land this open-looking handicap back at the scene of his only win. Boundsy Boy and Hill Station are also interesting.

In an open handicap HAVEYOUGOTMYMONEY should go well off this mark on his return from a break. Andapa looks his main danger.

11/1 (2) CONRI, 1.63/1 (3) HIGHER LAW, and 33/1 (6) LITTLE MAN are the horses that are most likely to do well based on the summary.

This can go the way of HIGHER LAW, who could be a shrewd purchase for the Roy Bowring stable after showing promise on both starts as a two-year-old when going off short prices. A son of Fillies' Mile winner Certify, he is bred to be much better than this level and should have too much for newcomer Ice Cool Harry and Conri, who stepped forward from his debut when fifth at Southwell.

HIGHER LAW possesses much the best form on show so is taken to make a winning start for Roy Bowring at the chief expense of Clive Cox's Harry Angel newcomer Ice Cool Harry. Conri and Awtaar appeal as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.

Higher Law can go well on his stable debut but AWTAAR should find this more suitable than Newmarket last month.

Based on the summary, the horses that have the highest chance of finishing in the top 3 are 2/1 (5) MISS LAMB, 1.25/1 (3) IDEM, and 18/1 (7) ONE FOR DAN. 2/1 (5) MISS LAMB has a good track record and has shown improvement in past races, making her a strong contender. 1.25/1 (3) IDEM has consistently performed well in bumpers and has potential as a jumper. 18/1 (7) ONE FOR DAN has shown improvement in recent points races and has had some success in hurdles. The other horses in the summary have either shown little promise or are more suited to handicaps.

IDEM has been a consistent performer in bumpers, placing on all four occasions, and Lucinda Russell's gelding makes plenty of appeal on his first attempt over hurdles. Miss Lamb won here on her penultimate start and backed that up when runner-up in a handicap, also over C&D. She is likely to pose the main threat to the selection, although One For Dan could be of interest following a point-to-point success in March.

MISS LAMB shaped best when edged out only in the final 100 yds on her handicap debut over C&D last time and this looks a good opportunity for her to resume winning ways. Idem has to be considered the main threat having shown fairly useful form in bumpers.

DANZAN was not disgraced on his seasonal debut at Redcar last month and he could be hard to stop with the benefit of that outing under his belt. Fast And Loose was knocking hard on the door at the back end of last season and has to be interest on his return to action. Others who could go well are Pocket The Profit, Aberama Gold and Treacherous.

FAST AND LOOSE ended 2022 on the up and resumes on an attractive mark too so Kevin Ryan's 4-y-o is strongly fancied to make a winning return. C&D scorer Aberama Gold is also weighted to have a big say and rated second best ahead of Pocket The Profit, who wasn't seen to best effect when seventh at Wolverhampton last time.

19:10 Hexham Handicap Chase (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to confidently predict which horse will do well based on this summary alone. However, 1.5/1 (3) TWOSHOTSOFTEQUILA has previously won at Doncaster and has had cheekpieces added, which could potentially improve performance. 5.5/1 (4) TUPELO MISSISSIPPI has been consistent and has the potential to do well if the addition of a tongue strap helps. 1.88/1 (1) UP FOR PAROL has performed well in hurdle races and could potentially improve in the second start of his chasing career. 5/1 (2) VINTAGE FIZZ is a capable hurdler and could be a threat if he takes to fences. 50/1 (6) GET 'EM IN has shown little promise and is out of the weights. Based on this information, a possible prediction for the top three finishing horses could be: 1st - 1.5/1 (3) TWOSHOTSOFTEQUILA 2nd - 5.5/1 (4) TUPELO MISSISSIPPI 3rd - 5/1 (2) VINTAGE FIZZ

Twoshotsoftequila was well held on his latest outing over 3m here, but that was in heavy conditions and he is worth another crack at this distance in first-time cheekpieces. He may still have to play second fiddle to UP FOR PAROL, who is an interesting contender on his return to this sphere. The seven-year-old has run in some decent handicap hurdles, making the frame in the Lanzarote at Kempton, and looks to have been found an opportunity to score on only his second chase start. Vintage Fizz is another to note.

This looks trappy and the suggestion is UP FOR PAROL, who was a fine third in the valuable Lanzarote Hurdle in January and would have every chance if able to reproduce form akin to that on this second chase start. Paddy The Horse clearly likes it here (hurdles record at this course reads 2311) and he looks dangerous, while Vintage Fizz could have a say if his jumping passes the test now switched to fences. Twoshotsoftequila appears to be better suited to more conventional tracks.

19:25 Doncaster Handicap (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary provided, it is difficult to accurately predict which horse will finish first, second, and third. However, 2.25/1 (3) VALSAD and 6.5/1 (2) MATCHLESS seem to be in good form and have a chance of performing well. 14/1 (9) GIBSIDE and 3/1 (6) HAARAR also have some potential, while 16/1 (5) BILLY NO MATES and 4.5/1 (7) AQWAAM may be less likely to finish in the top three. 8/1 (1) LIZZIE JEAN has struggled on turf in the past and may not be a strong contender. Ultimately, it is important to consider additional factors and conduct further research before making any predictions or wagers.

VALSAD was third in a valuable event over 1m6f at Haydock on his final start last season and a subsequent gelding operation could help the son of Intello to score off the same mark here. Matchless had a decent spell over hurdles during the winter and he cannot be discounted, while Billy No Mates and Gibside are others who could make the frame.

VALSAD'S truncated but promising 2022 campaign ended with a good third in a Class 2 handicap off this mark over 1¾m at Haydock in July. Dropping back in trip looks a good move and he may well have more to offer as a 4-y-o. Another who is likely to appreciate going back down in trip is Haarar, who probably found 2m too much of a test at Nottingham. He is second choice ahead of Matchless and Billy No Mates.

Provided the ten-month absence is no bother, VALSAD could well prove difficult to beat. Matchless is second choice.

WITHOUT CONVICTION scored comfortably over this trip at Ayr, with a subsequent winner back in second, and has been raised 8lb. With the Lucinda Russell yard continuing in fine form and considering the manner of her victory, she could prove very tough to beat. The main threat looks to be Skyhill, who bolted up at Sedgefield and is likely to be on the premises once more off 7lb higher. Event Of Sivola and Ex S'elance are others to consider.

It could be worth chancing DOLLY DANCER, who hasn't shone since striking over this C&D last summer but she's been given a chance by the handicapper and there were positives to glean from her latest effort at Kelso (travelled well for a long way back from a 2-month break). Without Conviction is an obvious threat following her Ayr success and she is next on the list ahead of recent point winner/chase debutante West Lawn (2-2 over hurdles here) and Event of Sivola.

Ayr scorer Without Conviction must be a leading contender once more but the well-handicapped DOLLY DANCER gets the vote.

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

Based on the information provided, it is difficult to fully predict which horse will win, as each has strengths and weaknesses. However, 1.75/1 (3) CARZOLA seems to be in good form, unbeaten at 2m and coming off back-to-back wins on the Lingfield AW. She also had a career-best win in a 14-runner handicap at Lingfield just 29 days ago. Therefore, 1.75/1 (3) CARZOLA could potentially finish in the 1st or 2nd place. 3.33/1 (5) ROCK CHANT also has a good record, with 3 wins from 6 runs this year. However, he is facing a tougher field this time and will need to improve to win. 1.88/1 (1) COLTOR and 7.5/1 (4) DE VEGA'S WARRIOR have had mixed performances and are more unpredictable. Therefore, they may finish in the 2nd or 3rd place but are not as strong of contenders as 1.75/1 (3) CARZOLA and 3.33/1 (5) ROCK CHANT.

Fennor Cross caught the eye when recording a commanding success in a premier handicap at Aintree last month and he remains of interest on his return to the Flat. However, CARZOLA landed a double at Lingfield last month and shades the vote. She makes her turf debut off a 4lb higher mark in this contest but looks a big player based on the pick of her all-weather form, while Rock Chant kept on to win at Chelmsford most recently and is another of interest.

FENNOR CROSS landed a valuable handicap hurdle at the Grand National meeting and has obvious claims back on the level. Coltor and Carzola also have solid claims in a trappy contest.

It's been a while between drinks but FEVER ROQUE could be worth chancing in his bid to break his maiden over fences. Rebecca Menzies' gelding is competitively weighted in comparison to his hurdles rating and having shown consistency over the larger obstacles lately, he can be rewarded for it. Cudgel is feared most in his bid for a hat-trick of course wins but he's another 6lb higher and is up in trip. Conversely, Ribeye drops back in distance but is also feared.

The one with the most appealing profile is CUDGEL, who may well complete a course hat-trick with both this step back up in trip and higher mark unlikely to be too much of an issue. Fever Roque should make his presence felt and Shantou Moon would also have a chance if taking to the larger obstacles.

Although hat-trick seeking Cudgel should go well the selection is THE WHITE VOLCANO, who is really well handicapped at present.

Prediction: Based on the summary, it seems that 4/1 (8) DEPUTY, 6/1 (5) STOCKPYLE, and 5.5/1 (9) ROCKET ROD have solid chances of finishing in the top three. 4/1 (8) DEPUTY is well handicapped and had a promising return, 6/1 (5) STOCKPYLE had two sound efforts and the return to 7f/turf should not be a problem, and 5.5/1 (9) ROCKET ROD has won three times on AW and had a solid return on his first turf run. However, there are also other horses that could potentially perform well and should not be underestimated, such as 11/1 (4) COSMOS RAJ and 4/1 (2) HOW IMPRESSIVE.

Runner-up over this trip at Newcastle on his latest start, it could be worth siding with HOW IMPRESSIVE on his turf debut. He remains unexposed and there is likely more to come from him, especially given his latest outing was after a break. Stockpyle switches back to turf following a fair fourth at Kempton last month and is feared most, while Mountbatten completes the shortlist.

A few with chances but Michael Dods has his string in good nick and his DEPUTY made a promising return under a patient ride when fifth at Redcar so gets the nod. Rocket Rod also made an encouraging reappearance when fourth at Newcastle and rates the chief threat ahead of Kempton scorer Longlai and turf debutant How Impressive.

DONNIE AZOFF emerged as a comfortable winner at Taunton and having justified strong support on the day, he created the impression that he is worth following for the time being. Now entering the handicap ranks, the Jamie Snowden-trained gelding looks a likely type to possibly run up a sequence at this time of year. Applaus rates as the main danger after a back-to-form second at Carlisle, with Fingal's Hill also highly respected in his hat-trick bid with just another 4lb to shoulder.

FINGAL'S HILL is taken to defy the handicapper again and make it 3 in a row. Russian Virtue has had an excellent spell since joining Rebecca Menzies and is next best ahead of Jamie Snowden handicap newcomer Donnie Azoff.

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.
