13:05 Leopardstown Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

1st: 0.8/1 (11) ETERNAL SILENCE 2nd: 8/1 (7) SHARLOUK 3rd: 4.5/1 (8) SUBZERO

The 102-rated ETERNAL SILENCE sets a high standard here and should make a winning return. The War Front filly was highly tried last season after her initial outing in a maiden, finishing third in Group 3 company at the Curragh before ending her campaign with an excellent effort to fill the same place in the Moyglare Stud Stakes behind Tahiyra and Meditate. That Group 1 placed form sets her apart now back in maiden company. The Ballydoyle colt Subzero could be the one to give her most to do. The son of Galileo shaped with promise when fourth in a Gowran maiden on his sole start last August and that form has worked out well since. Ger Lyons runs three in this and Colin Keane sides with the newcomer Many Tears. Money for the Showcasing filly would be interesting.

ETERNAL SILENCE acquitted herself really well in Group 1 company on her final start last term and should prove hard to beat in the opener. Subzero and Sharlouk rate the principal dangers.

This is all about the Moyglare third ETERNAL SILENCE, with whom Jessica Harrington is targeting the Irish 1,000 Guineas.

13:15 Newmarket Group 3 (Class 1) 10f Race Class Flow

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

1st: 1.25/1 (2) ADAYAR 2nd: 3/1 (1) ANMAAT 3rd: 8/1 (5) MIGRATION

Anmaat struck by a head in the Prix Dollar at Longchamp when last seen in October to make it five wins out of his last six starts, which shows his rapid rise in the ranks and he is highly likely to be on the premises here. However, FRANCESCO CLEMENTE just shades the vote, as he was a mightily impressive when scoring by nine lengths on his handicap debut at short odds on the July Course here last summer and is the type his stable do very well with. Therefore, he is fancied to find the improvement needed to strike. Derby hero Adayar is a top-class performer and holds an obvious chance.

ADAYAR looks set for a big year and can make a successful return. Anmaat must concede 5 lb to Charlie Appleby's high-class horse but did nothing but improve last term and has won first time up for the last 2 seasons. The unbeaten Francesco Clemente looks exciting and could make his presence felt.

High-class ADAYAR sets the standard. Progressive Anmaat and interesting Francesco Clemente are feared most.

13:30 Hamilton Handicap (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 a clear winner. However, 2/1 (1) BURJ MALINKA and 3/1 (4) GUSTAV GRAVES appear to be strong contenders based on their recent form. 2.5/1 (2) RORY could also potentially finish in the top three based on their consistent record. Therefore, the predicted order of finish would be 1) 2/1 (1) BURJ MALINKA, 2) 3/1 (4) GUSTAV GRAVES, 3) 2.5/1 (2) RORY.

BURJ MALINKA won this last season off a mark 6lb lower and, although he has to give weight away all round, this does look a slightly weaker renewal. Refuge would be interesting if he can bounce back to his best and may be a serious rival as he starts to slip down the handicap. That said, Gustav Graves may be the bigger danger after being beaten less than a length at Yarmouth last month.

BURJ MALINKA could get his own way in front so this C&D scorer is fancied to resume winning ways at the chief expense of fellow C&D winner Rory. In-form Gustav Graves appeals as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.

Rory is unlikely to go down without a fight but GUSTAV GRAVES has been knocking on the door in recent weeks and gets the nod.

13:40 Leopardstown Maiden 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary, the horses that are most likely to finish in the top 3 are: 1st: 22/1 (2) GOLDEN TEMPLE - has performed well against Group-placed horses and is lightly raced. 2nd: 1.38/1 (10) AZAZAT - has set the standard in initial efforts and expected to do better. 3rd: 6.5/1 (4) QUEENSTOWN - has shown improvement in a recent race and has blinkers on for the first time.

AZAZAT was beaten at a short price on her return here last month and may be able to step forward and open her account now. The Camelot filly had been a promising second on her sole start last year and went to post even-money on her comeback run. She had to settle for third behind front-runner Savethelastdance then but it looked a strong maiden and the runner-up Boogie Woogie has franked the form since. Aidan O'Brien saddles two in this and Queenstown looks the pick of them. He was green when turned over at a short price on his debut at Navan in a three-runner contest and should improve from that experience. His stablemate Milwaukee showed promise when fourth on his sole outing last term and the Justify colt is another potential improver.

Likely to come on for her reappearance spin here last month, AZAZAT looks the way to go. She is a half-sister to a winner over this trip, the step up to which promises to help unlock improvement, and she is evidently held in high regard (holds fancy entries). The Aidan O'Brien yard has farmed this maiden in recent years and the Ballydoyle representatives this time round, Milwaukee and Queenstown, rate the main dangers (in that order of preference).

This might not be that strong a maiden and AZAZAT - who has Group 1 entries - must have every chance of getting off the mark.

1st: 11/1 (13) HALIC 2nd: 7/1 (12) FIRSTMAN 3rd: 11/1 (2) BERKSHIRE ROCCO

Cemhaan is rated 9lb higher than when winning this race last year and is of interest after undergoing a wind operation since finishing down the field at Doncaster on his last start, but preference is still for DUTY OF CARE, who has been in fine form on the all-weather. He ran well when second behind Bandinelli at Kempton last month and he goes off only 1lb higher in a first-time tongue-tie, so he could go close at a price. Halic, Roberto Escobarr and Firstman are others to consider.

A tricky big-field handicap in which FIRSTMAN gets the marginal vote ahead of Halic, who arrives in excellent form from the AW. Cemhaan is the pick of the remainder if he's tuned up.

From an in-form stable, CEMHAAN won this race 12 months ago and he looks very good on his day. Duke Of Verona is feared most.

1st: 5/1 (7) ZIMMERMAN 2nd: 6.5/1 (8) PONS AELIUS 3rd: 8/1 (9) HAIZOOM

Zimmerman ran well over shorter on his return and will be much better suited by this trip with that run under his belt, while Haizoom won over C&D in May last year off a mark of 76 and is only rated 1lb higher now. Both can go well, but WICKYWICKYWHEELS drops in class and may well find a good deal more now.

POSTILEO was on the up when last seen 18 months ago and it's significant that top connections have bided their time with him, so he's marginally preferred to Zimmerman, who can be relied upon to give his running. Pons Aelius is another one to consider.

The vote goes to ZIMMERMAN (nap) who made a promising return when second at Thirsk last month and should appreciate the longer trip.

1st: 3/1 (1) AMERICAN SONJA 2nd: 7/1 (9) TARAWA 3rd: 4.5/1 (10) THORNBROOK or 4/1 (11) ZARINSK

AMERICAN SONJA was good on her return at Gowran Park and looks up to making a mark at this level. She beat older horses in fine style then, in handicap company, pulling away on the run to the line to post a comprehensive success. Off her new mark of 100 she's fully entitled to mix it in this company now and there looks potential for further improvement going another furlong. Her stablemate Thornbrook is one of two in the race with an official mark of 104. She was well held in the Moyglare when last seen in September but had run a big race to finish third to Meditate at the Curragh previously in Group 2 company and would be a big player on that form. Zarinsk also has a rating of 104 and has already had a good run in stakes company this season, finishing third in the 1,000 Guineas Trial here last month. She is another for the shortlist.

Joseph O'Brien holds a strong hand here, with his representatives AMERICAN SONJA and Thornbrook both making plenty of appeal. The latter brings solid Group form to the table and is not passed over lightly but American Sonja impressed when landing a 7f Gowran handicap on her reappearance last month and she can be expected to take this step up in class/trip in her stride. The promising Tarawa is third choice ahead of Zarinsk.

The vote goes to the 104-rated THORNBROOK, Group 2-placed behind the talented Meditate before running in the Moyglare

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

1st: 3/1 (7) RUNNING LION 2nd: 3.5/1 (6) QUEEN OF FAIRIES 3rd: 7/1 (10) TRUST THE STARS

FLOATING SPIRIT is unbeaten in two starts to date, the latest of those victories coming at Lingfield when scoring by three lengths. The daughter of Charm Spirit could have any amount of improvement in the locker on only her third start and, with the step up in trip possibly a positive move, she could prove the one to beat. The main danger comes in the shape of Queen Of Fairies, who got off the mark at the first time of asking when an easy winner at Southwell over a mile and has to be considered, along with Trust The Stars.

QUEEN OF FAIRIES looked a filly to follow when going in most impressively on her debut at Southwell before Christmas and Charlie Appleby's daughter of Cracksman is fancied to follow up at the chief expense of Running Lion, who has experience on her side and is greatly feared in her bid for a four-timer. A clutch of others also boast considerable potential, not least Trust The Stars and Tarjamah, and they both warrant lots of respect too in a fascinating Pretty Polly.

Running Lion may offer most resistance to the much less experienced SUMO SAM who galloped on so resolutely in her 7f maiden here.

1st: 3/1 (2) SILENT WORDS 2nd: 0.73/1 (1) TAJALLA 3rd: 18/1 (4) JILL'S JUNGLE

Jill's Jungle was second at Southwell on his debut and a place may be the best connections can realistically hope for. Silent Words won her only start by a narrow margin after idling in front at Newcastle and she may have a lot more to offer, a remark that also applies to TAJALLA. He ran on well to win at Newmarket in April last year and holds an entry in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot.

An interesting race. TAJALLA hasn't been seen since his debut win a year ago but his entry in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup suggests connections are hopeful he can make up for lost time so he's preferred to fellow debut scorer Silent Words. Northcliff is much more exposed than the aforementioned pair but also has the form to be bang there.

An alternative to the ones with sexier profiles is NORTHCLIFF, who is proven on slow ground and ran quite well in a recent handicap.

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

1st: 2.75/1 (3) NEW ENERGY 2nd: 3.33/1 (1) GOLDANA 3rd: 4/1 (6) WEXFORD NATIVE

Fourth and second in the Irish 2000 Guineas last year, WEXFORD NATIVE is taken to even things up with New Energy. The pair clashed three-times in 2022 with the score currently 2-1 in favour of the Sheila Lavery-trained latter. The selection rounded off his three-year-old campaign with a Listed win at the Curragh in June and the hope is that he can progress even further at four. New Energy is the highest rated runner in the line-up on a mark of 113. He ran some excellent races in defeat last term and has the form to take this Group 3 prize. A German import, Goldana won nicely on her debut for Joseph O'Brien at the Curragh last month and it'll come as no surprise if she manages to follow-up. The only three-year-old in the line-up, You Send Me is an interesting contender. Getting significant weight allowances, she might be able to make an impact. Villanova Queen and Real Appeal, a three-time course winner, are others that warrant respect.

NEW ENERGY only has a maiden success to his name but he produced several good efforts in Group company last season, not least when third in the Irish 2000 Guineas and a clear second to the classy Kinross at the Doncaster St Leger meeting. The 4-y-o is taken to deservedly get his head in front here. Goldana did the job well when making a winning debut for this yard at the Curragh and she is feared most ahead of Wexford Native. The unexposed You Send Me is one to follow but this is a big ask.

Preference is for last year's Irish 2,000 Guineas runner-up NEW ENERGY who can uphold that form with fourth-placed Wexford Native

15:00 Newmarket Group 2 (Class 1) 9f Race Class Flow

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

My prediction for the horses that will finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd would be: 1st - 3.5/1 (6) PROSPEROUS VOYAGE 2nd - 6/1 (1) WITH THE MOONLIGHT 3rd - 9/1 (2) AL HUSN 3.5/1 (6) PROSPEROUS VOYAGE has a strong record, including a second in last year's 1000 Guineas and a win in the Falmouth Stakes. With a longer trip promised to suit, she could be a top contender. 6/1 (1) WITH THE MOONLIGHT has also shown impressive form, winning two Group 2 events at Meydan and finishing second in a Grade 1 race in the US. 9/1 (2) AL HUSN is an interesting prospect, having won all three starts last season and showing potential for further progress.

PROSPEROUS VOYAGE was highly tried last season and managed to make her mark at the highest level when taking the Falmouth in July. She was only denied by a neck in the 1000 Guineas on her return to action a year ago and the daughter of Zoffany is the one to beat. With The Moonlight is officially rated 1lb superior to the selection but could be vulnerable under a 3lb penalty for her Group 2 victories in Dubai earlier in the year. Life In Motion is an interesting raider from France, while there may be further progression to come from Al Husn.

Preference is for PROSPEROUS VOYAGE, who clearly goes well fresh (narrowly foiled in 1000 Guineas on return last year) and should appreciate this slightly longer trip. With The Moonlight arrives at the top of her game and looks sure to make a bold bid to concede weight all round, whilst chief French raider Life In Motion also warrants plenty of respect.

Based on her peak Group 1 performances, PROSPEROUS VOYAGE has the best chance on these terms. Life In Motion is second choice.

15:10 Hamilton Handicap (Class 5) 11f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, the top three finishers are likely to be 1.38/1 (4) CLANSMAN, 6.5/1 (1) DON'T LOOK BACK, and 2/1 (3) WHERE'S JEFF. 1.38/1 (4) CLANSMAN has won the last two races and will be suited by the forecast rain, while 6.5/1 (1) DON'T LOOK BACK has shown improvement and won a 12-runner handicap recently. 2/1 (3) WHERE'S JEFF battled on well during the recent seasonal debut and has the advantage of being a course winner returning from a short break.

Only narrowly denied over 1m2f at Beverley last month, WHERE'S JEFF is entitled to improve in first-time cheekpieces and he can have a big say in proceedings here. The gelded son of Haafhd could build on that outing, especially given that was his first run back off a break. Clansman scored on his seasonal reappearance at Doncaster last month and must be respected now rated 2lb higher, while Two Auld Pals also merits consideration on his return.

CLANSMAN begun the new campaign with a personal best at Doncaster and remains fairly treated. He is fancied to score again. Where's Jeff looks the likeliest danger.

There could still be more to come from DON'T LOOK BACK over middle distances, and he excelled on slow ground last month.

1st: 2.75/1 (8) UP AND UNDER 2nd: 1.75/1 (5) PROUD AND REGAL 3rd: 9/1 (2) LONDONER

UP AND UNDER might be able to take this, despite being the only maiden in the line-up. He had a far from clear passage in the Ballysax over the course and distance early last month, ultimately going down by just half-a-length. Second in the National Stakes at the Curragh in September and the highest rated runner in the line-up, Proud And Regal is likely to go off favourite. It might be worth taking him on though, as some juvenile form from last term hasn't worked out as well as expected so far this campaign. Bidding to win this race for the fifth year in-a-row, Aidan O'Brien saddles three of the eight declared and they all warrant respect, with Londoner perhaps the pick of them. Sprewell showed a nice turn of foot to win on his return to action at Naas in March and it'll be interesting to see how he copes with this step-up in class. Goldstatewarrior done well to win on debut at Gowran and is another sure to have his supporters.

UP AND UNDER pulled nicely clear of the rest when touched off by White Birch in the C&D Ballysax Stakes last month and, with the promise of more to come from this well-bred and unexposed colt, he is taken to go one better this time. Proud And Regal did nothing wrong during his 2-y-o campaign and will offer stern resistance if ready to roll on this seasonal reappearance. The Aidan O'Brien-trained duo Londoner and Tower of London should both be in the mix, while Sprewell is also accorded respect.

A Group 1 winning son of Galileo, PROUD AND REGAL (nap) meets lower-rated rivals on level terms and should be hard to beat

1st: 1.75/1 (20) TAHIYRA, 2nd: 7.5/1 (11) MEDITATE, 3rd: 12/1 (10) MAWJ

Tahiyra sets the standard based on her impressive defeat of Meditate in the Moyglare at the Curragh last September and that filly is her main market rival here. That said, it would be no surprise if she proved to be at her best later in the year and marginal preference is for MAMMAS GIRL. Richard Hannon's filly created a big impression when taking the Nell Gwyn over 7f here last month and the way she finished that day suggests that the extra distance should not be a problem. Remarquee also won her trial well, as the final winning margin of a neck is not an accurate reflection of her superiority on that occasion. Others to note are Dream Of Love, Lezoo and Powerdress.

TAHIYRA looked very good when comfortably accounting for Meditate in the Moyglare and is selected to prove too strong for her old rival again, although Aidan O'Brien's filly was well suited by the step up to 1m in the Breeders' Cup and may get a bit closer this time. The fact Remarquee still looked far from the finished article in the Fred Darling raises a few doubts about how she'll handle the Dip but she must be highly talented and is third choice ahead of Dream of Love.

Exciting prospect TAHIYRA (nap), the champion European 2yo filly last season, gets the strong vote. Meditate is feared most.

Runner-up on his last two starts, OBAMA ARMY can secure his best run to date here and must enter calculations, although Arkenstaar made a promising return to action when third over a mile at Redcar last month and should not be dismissed. My Honey B and Leap Year Lad add further spice, while My Honey B is the pick of the remainder.

OBAMA ARMY has been going the right way sent handicapping this year, finishing runner-up on his last 2 starts, and he can continue his progress to get off the mark this time around. Leap Year Lad shaped as if still in good form on his latest outing and could be the main danger, ahead of My Honey B.

It's hard to get away from OBAMA ARMY who has performed with plenty of credit to finish runner-up in his last two starts.

1st: 3/1 (12) WARM HEART 2nd: 14/1 (4) FEACH AMACH 3rd: 25/1 (5) FIVER FRIDAY

With eight newcomers in the line-up and some fine pedigrees on show, a case can be made for many of these. SHAMIDA has one run to her name and might be able to put her experience to good use. She finished well to take third on debut here in October and the step-up in trip to 1m2f should suit. Related to plenty of winners, she holds some big race entries. The Aidan O'Brien-trained Warm Heart was second on her return to action early last month and it'll come as no surprise if he manages to go a place better now. O'Brien also saddles Smart Cookie who is a half-sister to dual Listed winner Joie De Soir. La Petite Sissi, a half-sister to Group 1 winner La Petite Coco, and Kitty McFee, out of Listed winner Titi Makfi, are other interesting debutants set to take part.

Aidan O'Brien's WARM HEART seems sure to build on her promising reappearance second now stepped up in trip and she can get off the mark before tackling better company. Dermot Weld's returning Shamida has the form to play a part while newcomers Kermiya, New Phenomenon and Fairytale Prince need considering too, especially if the market vibes are positive.

Preference is for SHAMIDA who ran such a promising debut race back in the autumn and, unlike most of these, she has Group-race entries.

16:15 Newmarket Maiden (Class 3) 5f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well based on this summary alone, as it only provides limited information about the horses' past performance and pedigree. However, some potential contenders based on the information provided could be 11/1 (1) JASOUR, 1.8/1 (2) KYLIAN, and 4/1 (4) MASHADI, as they all have appealing pedigrees and/or previous winners in their family. Therefore, the predicted order of finish for the race is: 1. 11/1 (1) JASOUR 2. 1.8/1 (2) KYLIAN 3. 4/1 (4) MASHADI

The market will be a key guide but a chance can be taken with the 265,000gns purchase MASHADI, who is likely to be ready to go first time out given his connections. On Point is another to consider being a half-brother to a Group 3-winning juvenile last year in Fairy Cross. Jasour cost 85,000 pounds as a yearling and is from the family of Twilight Son, while Kylian and Rising Force are others to note.

This is likely to go to a newcomer and ON POINT is selected to make a winning debut for the Appleby/Buick combination who have made a flying start to the 2023 turf season. Richard Hannon landed this corresponding event 12 months ago and his Mashadi is fancied to be in the mix representing the same connections. Kylian and South Shore are another couple to consider.

A fascinating race in which ON POINT is taken to prove too strong for Kylian and Jasour. The betting should be revealing.

1st: 2.25/1 (2) HIROMICHI 2nd: 5/1 (4) SHINE ON BRENDAN 3rd: 2/1 (1) WESTERNESSE

Even though he has to shoulder joint top-weight for this contest, WESTERNESSE could be worth siding with. He made a promising debut for David O'Meara when finishing second at Wetherby last week and he must hold every chance of building on that. That said, George Bass' claim negates most of Hiromichi's 5lb penalty for his latest success and he can give the selection plenty to think about, while Shine On Brendan is another to bear in mind.

WESTERNESSE made his effort slightly earlier than ideal starting out for new connections when runner-up at Wetherby last week and David O'Meara's 4-y-o can open his account having just a second outing in handicap company. The main danger could emerge from Hiromichi, who regained the winning thread at Bath on Monday and should be bang there again under a penalty. Bashful can fill out third spot.

In-form 5yo HIROMICHI looked very well suited by the stiff 1m at Bath on Monday and he might win for the third time this spring.

1st: 6/1 (19) PURPLE GOWN 2nd: 7.5/1 (11) TIMOURID 3rd: 18/1 (4) KINGSWEAR

GILADAH shaped well enough on her seasonal debut at Cork to suggest she can now record a third career success at this venue. Both owned and trained by Dermot Weld, the four-year-old was a dual winner over a furlong shorter here twice last year and judging by her strong finish at Cork, the daughter of Muhaarar should appreciate the extra yardage. Timourid, who was a place ahead of the Weld filly last time, should again be involved. Trainer Paul Flynn has his string in rude health at present and this gelding has been highly consistent. Allowing for his riders claim, Timourid actually meets Giladah on slightly better terms. Laughifuwant kept on nicely when fifth at Limerick last time but does have to prove his stamina for this longer distance.

WILD DOLLAR did really well to finish third from a poor position on his return to the Flat over C&D a month ago and, from a lenient mark, he makes most appeal. Purple Gown is an obvious threat having improved to score at this course last time and Timourid also warrants consideration.

It may be worth taking a chance with LAUGHIFUWANT who has dropped a long way in the ratings since enjoying a productive 2020 campaign

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

Based on the summary, 4/1 (6) KADOVAR seems to be the strongest contender as he has been improving and won his most recent race. 6.5/1 (8) GULMARG and 14/1 (7) JUST BRING IT also have potential as they have been in good form and have won handicaps before. Therefore, the predicted order of finish would be: 1. 4/1 (6) KADOVAR 2. 6.5/1 (8) GULMARG 3. 14/1 (7) JUST BRING IT

A decent two-year-old last year, who contested some valuable contests, HECTIC returned with a solid runner-up effort at Newbury last month. The step up to a mile can see him go one better on this occasion, with easy Epsom scorer Kadovar and recent C&D third Gulmarg looking best placed to chase him home. Legend Of Leros and Saxon King are not without chances either.

An open-looking contest, with preference for KADOVAR who continued his improvement this year when getting off the mark in good style at Epsom 12 days ago. He is taken to follow up back in handicap company, though Gulmarg isn't taken lightly after a good third over C&D last month. Legend of Leros is another to consider on his handicap debut.

Defence Of Fort brings untapped potential but HECTIC ran with some promise at Newbury and can improve for today's extra furlong.

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

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

1st: 5/1 (2) SLAINTE MHATH 2nd: 3/1 (7) TWO SUMMERS 3rd: 3.5/1 (3) IRIS DANCER

SLAINTE MHATH is somewhat unlucky not to be coming here on a hat-trick, having found an in-form mare just too good at Thirsk last time out. A 1lb rise for that effort could prove lenient and she is narrowly preferred to the consistent Two Summers, whose last win came over this distance at Catterick last October. Billy Wedge and Iris Dancer are also capable of being in the shake-up.

TWO SUMMERS has returned in fine form and Adrian Keatley's likeable filly looks set to record a deserved first success of the year. C&D specialist Iris Dancer is a big threat after an encouraging return at Ripon, whilst recent Thirsk runner-up Slainte Mhath is another to merit serious consideration.

It may be worth chancing dual C&D winner KATS BOB who has dropped to the same mark as when winning this race last year.

17:10 Leopardstown Handicap 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

1st - 6/1 (2) AUTOCRAT 2nd - 4.5/1 (6) DUBAWI SPECTRE 3rd - 10/1 (3) TEUTATES

Irish Derby entrant PICTURE OF A CITY should strip fitter now having been entitled to need his reappearance at Limerick. On that occasion, the Andy Oliver-trained colt kept on late having hit a flat spot. It will be a surprise if this son of Cityscape isn't capable of much better than a rating of 71. Sixpack is bred to appreciate a stamina test so the Johnny Murtagh trained gelding has to be a real threat on his handicap debut. On the bare form of his three maiden runs he doesn't look badly treated on his initial foray into handicaps. Teutates didn't look the most straightforward on his handicap debut at this track last time but first-time cheekpieces may help. He also drops into a lower grade now so has to be respected.

Johnny Murtagh has his team in good form so perhaps SIXPACK can strike on handicap debut after catching the eye a bit last time. Dubawi Spectre's last 2 efforts show he can be very competitive from his mark, while Picture Of A City is a possible improver for the Andrew Oliver team now making a quick switch to handicaps.

This looks very open. LASTING PEACE has progressed in maidens and this longer trip heightens interest on his handicap debut.

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

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

1st: 9/1 (6) MY LION 2nd: 4.5/1 (4) COOL PARTY 3rd: 4.5/1 (5) RATHGAR

RATHGAR ended last season with a comfortable success at Goodwood and he looks just the type to improve over further, with a mark of 85 looking manageable on his handicap debut. Cool Party arrives in search of a hat-trick, so must enter calculations, along with Mindset, who has plenty of potential going up in trip. Narrowly denied on his return at Kempton last month, My Lion can also have a say in proceedings.

A typically hot event for the track, but COOL PARTY stands out as being particularly interesting, having plenty in hand when scoring at Wolverhampton on his final start last term and seeming certain to appreciate the step up in trip. Lion of War ran well at Musselburgh last time and is another who should prove better-suited by middle distances, with Royal Rhyme getting slight preference of the remainder.

The biggest improver might be COOL PARTY appearing over this trip for the first time. Group 2 entry Rathgar is second on the list.
