13:15 Worcester Handicap Chase (Class 5) 23f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, the horses predicted to finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd are: 1st: 4/1 (8) BOAGRIUS - the C&D winner in October and two good runner-up efforts at the end of 2022 make this horse a solid contender if it shows up in similar form after a break. 2nd: 5/1 (7) POTTLERATH - successful over hurdles and a recent third in a 3m chase at Warwick make this horse a big player if it can build on that performance. 3rd: 5/1 (5) GLANCE FROM CLOVER - in good form over hurdles and could be a contender if it takes to fences on its chase debut.

Present Storm has plenty going for her here having won twice here over hurdles on the predicted going, but she is yet to repeat that level over fences and hasn't been seen since November. She is still worth a second look, but if BOAGRIUS retains his abilities at the age of 11, then the C&D winner may shock them all for trainer Tom George. Glance From Clover has his first start over fences and also has to be of interest for a stable going well enough in recent weeks.

POTTLERATH is given a chance to build on a better run over fences last time. Boagrius was in good nick when last seen at the end of 2022 and will be a threat if returning in similar form. Puddlesinthepark has fewer convictions than most of these and could also figure if taking to fences at the first time of asking.

The pick is GASTARA, who is well handicapped on a piece of course form from last spring and shaped quite well over hurdles last month.

13:45 Worcester Handicap Chase (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

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

1st: 5/1 (10) NOAHTHIRTYTWORED 2nd: 4/1 (3) RAFFLE TICKET 3rd: 4.5/1 (5) SWAFFHAM BULBECK

NOAHTHIRTYTWORED had a pipe-opener on the Flat last month which may have put him spot on for a return to fences now. One win from two starts over the larger obstacles suggests he may have more to offer, while wins over hurdles here on similar ground bodes well for his chances. Glajou is a C&D winner who seems likely to mount a challenge with the booking of Harry Cobden catching the eye, while Arthur's Quay is capable enough off this mark and could run into a place.

This looks competitive but SWAFFHAM BULBECK comes here in good form over hurdles, successful at Fakenham on his latest outing 4 weeks ago and, with his revised mark looking within reach back over fences, he could be the answer. Give Me A Moment, Raffle Ticket and Noahthirtytwored are a trio of others fancied to be in the shake-up.

The most interesting runner is NOAHTHIRTYTWORED (nap), who took very well to chasing last year and is still unexposed over fences.

13:55 Ayr Maiden (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the information provided, 1.25/1 (3) SENNOCKIAN seems to have the most potential as a newcomer with a strong breeding background. Therefore, 1.25/1 (3) SENNOCKIAN is likely to finish in 1st place. 1.38/1 (1) INDICATION CALL, with fair recent form, is expected to finish in 2nd place. 4.5/1 (4) TORVAR, who had an encouraging debut and is likely to improve, is expected to finish in 3rd place. 33/1 (2) MOYOLA is not expected to finish in the top three based on their recent performance.

Charlie Johnston has been among the winners of late and he saddles an interesting newcomer in the shape of Sennockian, a 120,000-euro half-brother to Fillies' Mile winner Pretty Gorgeous. A bold bid is expected first time out, but narrow preference is for the experience of INDICATION CALL, who has gone closer with each of his three starts to date and only missed out by a short head at Pontefract a fortnight ago. There could be more to come and he has the assistance of in-form 3lb claimer Pierre-Louis Jamin. Torvar, who showed glimpses of ability on debut, can beat Moyola for third place.

The Johnston stable won this with a newcomer last year and might be able to repeat the feat with the well-bred SENNOCKIAN. Confidence in his chance would increase should the betting vibes be strong.

Charlie Johnston has his string in excellent nick so his well-related No Nay Never newcomer SENNOCKIAN is taken to make a winning start

14:05 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 2.25/1 (1) DAPPER MAN and 5/1 (5) SNOW BERRY seem to be the strongest contenders. Therefore, my prediction for the top three finishers would be: 1. 2.25/1 (1) DAPPER MAN 2. 5/1 (5) SNOW BERRY 3. 4/1 (4) APACHE STAR

The in-form Dapper Man (third) is being kept busy and should be thereabouts again despite a 9lb higher mark for his C&D success in March. However, he might do well to confirm the January C&D form with SNOW BERRY (fourth) on the revised terms, and Michael Appleby's mare shades preference as a value option on this occasion. The Tron also has a decent chance on these terms.

DAPPER MAN is going through an excellent spell, second to a rival seen to maximum effect at Redcar on Thursday and a 3 lb rise still leaves him very competitive. Apache Star and Snow Berry look the main dangers.

Dapper Man is respected but APACHE STAR, who hasn't had the breaks lately and won't mind the drop from 6f, is better treated.

1st: 3/1 (1) PYFFO, 2nd: 2/1 (3) IDEAL DES BORDES, 3rd: 33/1 (8) WESTBROOK LAD

Ideal Des Bordes may prove popular here for his powerful connections, but he ran on late to win his point-to-point, and may struggle for speed over the two miles here. Pyffo battled on well to win at Haydock but has a 7lb penalty for that and it may be worth taking a chance on SOLSTICE SAINT, who represents a stable with a strong record in bumpers.

PYFFO confirmed the promise of his debut in no uncertain terms when successful at Haydock in December and while it's rarely easy defying a penalty in a bumper, the same conditional rider is on again and he may well be up to the job. Charmian's Place is the obvious threat on form, with Ideal des Bordes and Moon Chime the pick of the newcomers.

Nicky Henderson's new recruit IDEAL DES BORDES made a winning Irish point debut in December and might be the answer.

14:25 Ayr Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, the horses predicted to finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd are: 1st - 9/1 (10) DICK DATCHERY 2nd - 3.5/1 (3) FREEDOM FLYER 3rd - 9/1 (14) ORIENTAL LILLY

In a competitive handicap it may pay to side with ORIENTAL LILLY, who likes it here with two wins, one over C&D off 10lb higher. Her trainer won this last year and, although racing from 1lb out of the handicap, Amie Waugh claims 5lb in the saddle. Claim The Stars may still be a maiden, but the drop in class could see him go close despite the burden of top weight, though the intriguing Roman Blaze, who drops markedly in trip, may have his measure.

Despite a question mark over the suitability of the drying ground, FREEDOM FLYER looks the safest option. He's never been the easiest to predict but hasn't done much wrong in 4 starts this year. Dick Datchery is rather hit-and-miss, too, but this multiple C&D winner would be a threat if bouncing back on debut for new yard following a wind op. Cheese The One is third choice.

Plenty are in with a shout but Ruth Carr's FREEDOM FLYER arrives at the top of his game and edges the vote now he steps back up to 6f

14:35 Southwell Stakes (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to make a clear prediction based solely on this summary. However, based on the information given, 2/1 (1) YORKSHIRE TERRIER, the C&D winner who sets the standard, and 3/1 (2) DAFOOR, the likely looking newcomer with a lot to like on paper, may be strong contenders for the top three spots. 4.5/1 (4) RISING FORCE, with a trainer who commands respect for newcomers, could also be a contender. Ultimately, it will come down to the performance on the day of the race.

YORKSHIRE TERRIER was a convincing winner over C&D on his debut last month and, while the form of his subsequent outing in a potentially decent novice stakes at Newmarket is yet to really be put to the test, this could be a good opportunity for the son of Bow Creek to boost his profile. He was a bit too keen when he faded into fifth in that Rowley Mile contest, but he sets a good standard. Dafoor appeals most of the newcomers, while Melisende is respected too.

YORKSHIRE TERRIER showed up well for a long way trying to defy a penalty at Newmarket 3 weeks ago and back on the AW, he can put his experience to the best possible use. Dafoor and Kaolinite are interesting debutants on breeding.

Yorkshire Terrier sets a fair standard, but preference is for TALENT SHOW, whose trainer is an impressive 7-21 with 2yos here.

1st: 1/1 (3) IDEALDES VILLERETS 2nd: 3/1 (2) BUXTED TOO 3rd: 9/1 (8) ACTIVIST

IDEALDES VILLERETS sets a reasonable standard and is an appealing option with Brian Hughes retaining the ride on his first start for the Donald McCain stable. The gelding can improve now dropped back in trip. French import Activist is one to note in the betting now he switches codes on his debut for a high-profile yard, while any support for Tregele would be noteworthy on his hurdling debut.

IDEALDES VILLERETS has the best form on show and has joined a good stable since last seen, so he's the obvious choice. Tchoupinminzac is a danger based on bumper form and Buxted Too is worthy of interest if strong in the betting.

A fairly good standard of hurdling form is set by IDEALDES VILLERETS, who is selected to make a winning stable debut.

14:55 Ayr Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Prediction: 1st - 3.33/1 (6) HIGHWAYGREY 2nd - 9/1 (4) SOCIETY RED 3rd - 5/1 (7) MORNING SUN

Morning Sun was only beaten three lengths into third in a class 5 contest on his first start for the Keith Dalgleish yard and looks to have every chance of taking a step forward to have a say. However, he could be up against it with HIGHWAYGREY, who was a massive eye-catcher last time at Haydock and goes off the same mark. The seven-year-old is only 2lb higher than when scoring over C&D in August last year and he could be the one to beat. Society Red is far from out of it either.

The vote goes to MORNING SUN, who is by far the least exposed of these. The 4-y-o made an encouraging debut for this yard back from 8 months off at Redcar and while conditions were pretty testing that day, he appears to handle good/good to firm judged on what he showed for Sir Michael Stoute in 2022. Busby has yet to strike on turf but he's capable of a bold show, as he proved when going close over C&D last spring, and is feared most ahead of Highwaygrey and Society Red.

There was plenty to like about HIGHWAYGREY (nap)'s eyecatching Haydock third so this C&D scorer gets the vote.

15:05 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 2.5/1 (2) BOND SPIRIT seems to have the best chance of finishing well, with a C&D win earlier this year and a creditable third place finish at the same location 55 days ago. 2.5/1 (5) BLUE HAWAII is a potential dark horse with a lowly mark and a significant step up in trip, while 2.75/1 (3) PITTSBURG may also perform better on the AW after three solid efforts earlier in the year. Predicted finish: 1st - 2.5/1 (2) BOND SPIRIT, 2nd - 2.5/1 (5) BLUE HAWAII, 3rd - 2.75/1 (3) PITTSBURG.

With solid recent form thin on the ground, this looks a good time to side with BOND SPIRIT, who has been consistent since winning a classified stakes over C&D in January. He has gone close in three subsequent starts back in handicaps and looks worth sticking with. Mad Artymaise is unexposed on the all-weather and is respected after appearing to appreciate a sterner test of stamina last time. Pittsburg rates best of the rest.

BOND SPIRIT scores plenty of points for consistency and in a race lacking strength in depth, he's comfortably the most persuasive option. Better is expected of Pittsburg returned to the AW and he's the main threat, though it will be interesting to see what Blue Hawaii can do now handicapping.

Pittsburg should be happier back on the AW, but this looks ideal for BOND SPIRIT (nap) as he tries to add to January's C&D win.

15:15 Worcester Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, the horses that are most likely to finish in the top 3 are: 1) 8/1 (8) OUR SCHOLAR - has shown promise in both flat and hurdle races and is expected to improve. 2) 3.33/1 (12) KOMEDY KICKS - although not in the same form in recent races, has strong flat form and has performed well over timber. 3) 8/1 (7) ALLIHIES - has shown some promise in her hurdle debut and has had a wind operation since. Market check advised. It is important to note that horse racing is unpredictable and unexpected outcomes can occur.

KOMEDY KICKS has her sights considerably lowered after being pitched in a Listed race at Doncaster in January, where she posted a game effort and was in the process of rallying until she fell two out. She also faced a stiff task in a premier handicap at Cheltenham last month and may not have appreciated being tried in a hood that day. Now back in cheekpieces, she is dangerous to underestimate getting weight from the rest. Myristica was useful on the Flat and makes considerable appeal, while Evenwood Sonofagun is also considered.

Preference is for OUR SCHOLAR, who failed only narrowly to break his maiden tag at Southwell last month and remains low mileage. Evenwood Sonofagun looks sure to go well on his return to action, whilst Myristica is the pick of the hurdling debutants.

Our Scholar can improve further over hurdles but EVENWOOD SONOFAGUN is taken to confirm his autumn promise at Cheltenham.

1.1/1 (2) ABU ROYAL is likely to do well and is hard to beat. The horses that will finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd cannot be accurately predicted based on the information given.

ABU ROYAL makes plenty of appeal for an in-form yard as he really stepped forward on his all-weather debut at Kempton when switched to the turf at Thirsk for his second start. Headed close home over this trip on soft ground that day, it is thought this sounder surface might eke out some improvement and he may not be for catching this time. Iron Lion is the pick of the newcomers judged on his eye-catching pedigree, while Eagle Day boasts a similar profile to the selection and is also noted.

ABU ROYAL showed plenty of promise when only narrowly denied at Thirsk last month and can strike at the third time of asking. Eagle Day should have more to offer on the back of his Southwell third and can provide the chief threat ahead of Mount King.

Having stepped up markedly on his debut run when a clear second over this trip at Thirsk last time ABU ROYAL looks the one to beat.

Based on the summary, the horse that is most likely to do well and potentially win is 1.38/1 (1) SEAL OF SOLOMON, followed by 10/1 (5) KITTEN'S DREAM and 3.5/1 (3) MUKHA MAGIC in second and third place respectively. 2.75/1 (2) DUBAI JEANIUS is not expected to perform as well due to the change in distance and is not mentioned as a top contender.

SEAL OF SOLOMON goes from strength to strength for Ed Dunlop and won as he pleased last time out at Chelmsford despite a slow start. Upped 8lb in the handicap for that, he will need to improve again, but as that was his first start in six months he may do just that. Kitten's Dream has won here twice suggesting he may get involved, leaving C&D winner Dubai Jeanius to chase them home.

SEAL OF SOLOMON remains unexposed over staying trips and can follow up his recent Chelmsford City victory here. Kitten's Dream may give him most to think about.

Dubai Jeanius will need to settle better and the vote goes to the progressive SEAL OF SOLOMON, who remains unexposed as a stayer.

1st: 6.5/1 (3) CROSSING THE BAR 2nd: 4/1 (8) CZECH HER OUT 3rd: 8/1 (2) UMNDENI

CZECH HER OUT once more defied market expectations when winning on her seasonal debut at Southwell last month and a third C&D success could be on the horizon off only 4lb higher. Yes No Maybe So hasn't proved the most consistent of late, but Tom Lacey's gelding could benefit from a first-time visor and is feared most. Ballycamus has put together a string of good efforts and is likely to be on the premises once again.

While ITACARE has failed to fire on each of his last 4 starts, it's worth noting that he bounced back with a win (off this mark) following a similarly barren spell on the back of a wind op at Ludlow last spring. He has undergone another round of surgery since his latest appearance at Exeter in February and could be worth chancing at a course where he performed well on his sole previous visit. The hat-trick seeking Czech Her Out has to be feared, along with Crossing The Bar and Ballycamus.

The vote goes to BALLYCAMUS, who looked good at Newbury two starts ago and bumped into an improver at Ludlow last time.

16:05 Ayr Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, the horses that are most likely to finish in the top three are 3.33/1 (4) LITTLE MUDDY, 1.5/1 (1) ROCK MELODY, and possibly 4.5/1 (2) BLACK FRIDAY. 3.33/1 (4) LITTLE MUDDY is a C&D winner who has run two good races this year and is likely to give another good account. 1.5/1 (1) ROCK MELODY has had two decent runs over 5f this year and may come good when returning to 6f. 4.5/1 (2) BLACK FRIDAY is a three-time C&D winner who was a good second on reappearance and is capable of bouncing back if breaking on terms. However, it is important to note that all predictions are based on past performance and that horse racing can be unpredictable.

Stablemates Rock Melody and Be Proud both offer strong appeal at the weights and are likely to be key players today. Of the two, the former is marginally preferred over this trip and is likely to be thereabouts running off 4lb lower than her last winning mark. However, LITTLE MUDDY, a C&D winner last July, has returned with a vengeance this season and she could be hard to repel in her bid to extend the run of good form. Three-time course winner Black Friday looks the obvious pace angle and is also feared.

The way in which ROCK MELODY has finished off to really good effect in a couple of 5f Musselburgh handicaps suggests she can get her head in front now stepping back up to 6f. Black Friday was ahead of the selection in second in one of those races and is feared most.

This could turn out to be a muddling race and BLACK FRIDAY, who can be ridden prominently may be the one to benefit.

1st: 1.88/1 (2) MARKSMAN QUEEN 2nd: 1.25/1 (3) ELRAAED 3rd: 4/1 (4) LIL' FRANK

Marksman Queen is the only previous winner in this field after scoring by a head at Kempton last November, but the form of that race isn't working out that well and she has a 7lb penalty. LIL' FRANK has been a beaten favourite on both his starts and has been gelded since his Chelmsford fourth. He has always been expected to make up into a better three-year-old and he gets the nod, though Dubawi colt Elraaed looks the part on paper and may yet be the surprise package.

MARKSMAN QUEEN sets the standard on her Kempton debut victory and likely has more to offer this year. She can land the spoils. Lil' Frank and Elraaed look the obvious dangers.

Marksman Queen may find the concession of a penalty too much, with ELRAAED most interesting against her.

IKARAK wasn't disgraced when finishing under a length behind the progressive Hell Red on his British debut for Milton Harris at Fontwell recently and these brush hurdles may be more to his liking than the fences on that occasion. Everyonesgame arrives at the top of his game judged on his first success in a maiden hurdle at Hereford last month and the six-year-old isn't taken lightly, despite shouldering a 7lb penalty here. Astigar is a potential improver having undergone a wind procedure in March and completes the shortlist.

IKARAK wasn't disgraced on his British debut and the return to hurdling should help, so he's preferred to last-time-out winner Everyonesgame, who might have more to offer. Astigar is another one to consider.

Ikarak comes into it on his chase form but EVERYONESGAME was an untroubled winner at Hereford and is capable of better.

Based on the summary, it seems like 3.33/1 (5) ROYAL CAY and 2.25/1 (2) ROCK OF ENGLAND have the strongest potential to finish in the top 3. 3.33/1 (5) ROYAL CAY has improved form and a fair 4 lb rise, and 2.25/1 (2) ROCK OF ENGLAND is a promising type who is open to improvement and has leading claims. As for the third spot, it is a bit more uncertain, but 2.75/1 (1) TELLUS could have a chance based on her decent form at 7f.

Royal Cay powered home to get off the mark at Beverley last month and has strong claims on that form, but a 4lb rise and slight drop in trip are against him and he may have to play second fiddle to TELLUS. John Quinn's filly also opened her account last time, in a 6f novice event at Pontefract, and looks feasibly treated off 75 now switched to a handicap with the step up in distance a possible source of improvement. Camusdarach only weakened late on over 1m at Newcastle latest and the Charlie Johnston-trained gelding is interesting now returned to 7f.

ROCK OF ENGLAND gets the vote on the back of a promising reappearance effort at Haydock. A 4 lb rise for Royal Cay's latest Beverley success doesn't look too severe and he can give Ed Bethell's charge most to think about.

In a tricky race 6f winner TELLUS, who has run well over 7f, is taken to beat Kelpie Grey and Beverley winner Royal Cay.

1st - 3.5/1 (4) DESTINY'S SPIRIT 2nd - 6.5/1 (7) LYNWOOD LAD 3rd - 4.5/1 (8) TWAYBLADE

CONFEDERATION posted an improved effort when runner-up over this distance of 6f at Kempton in January and he could take some stopping now returned to the turf off only 2lb higher. Destiny's Spirit was a progressive sort last season and she may have needed her seasonal debut when finishing fourth at Nottingham last month. Dominic Ffrench Davis' filly is feared most, ahead of Twayblade, who should appreciate this switch from the all-weather.

The vote goes to DESTINY'S SPIRIT, who progressed nicely during the second half of her 2-y-o campaign and there wasn't a great deal wrong with her reappearance fourth at Nottingham where she was beaten by three in-form, race-fit rivals. Though disappointing in a Yarmouth nursery when last seen, Alpine Girl can be given another chance and she is next on the list ahead of handicap debutant Lynwood Lad.

It might be worth siding with TWAYBLADE, who made all at Yarmouth last month and could resume his progress on this switch back to turf.

Prediction: 1.5/1 (5) WILDFELL is likely to do well and has a good chance of winning the race, followed by 7.5/1 (8) TICKET TO ALASKA in second place and 4.5/1 (1) SOUTH DAKOTA SIOUX in third.

Native Melody ran a shocker last time out when last on soft ground at Yarmouth, but connections try first-time cheekpieces here and, with her best run a debut third at Chelmsford, a return to the all-weather makes sense. She may prove the biggest danger to hat-trick seeker WILDFELL, the winner of both starts since a gelding operation. An added 6lb may not be enough to stop a third victory, though both Ticket To Alaska and All Dunn could also get involved.

WILDFELL has made a superb start to life with Peter Chapple-Hyam, looking more straightforward to boot when winning again 3 weeks ago and the hat-trick may well be forthcoming. South Dakota Sioux is effectively up only 4 lb for last week's Wolverhampton win and he's a definite threat, along with Ticket To Alaska.

This revolves around WILDFELL, who again had something in hand when beating Ticket To Alaska on 5lb better terms last time.

SAMTARA ran better than expected when runner-up dropping back in trip to 2m1f at Cheltenham last month and a 2lb rise may not prevent him from returning to winning ways. Boom Boom shed his maiden tag with a cosy success at Wincanton in early April and Nicky Henderson's gelding is feared most on this handicap debut. Almost Gotaway is seeking a hat-trick and adds further spice to a competitive-looking contest.

Having shown fair form in bumpers, BOOM BOOM matched that level over hurdles when opening his account at Wincanton last month and the 5-y-o can follow up with further progress to come now handicapping. Samtara arrives in good form and is feared most back down in grade, while Horn Cape also merits consideration as he bids for a hat-trick.

Samtara and Boom Boom are just two of several with claims but preference is for ALMOST GOTAWAY who kept winning when last seen.

It is difficult to definitively predict which horse will do well based on this summary, as there are several horses with potential. However, based on recent form and potential for improvement, 3.5/1 (5) IMPERATIVE and 7/1 (2) YAKHABAR may be good bets to finish in the top three. A dark horse could be 14/1 (8) LOCHNAVER, if he can bounce back from his recent poor run and handle the increased trip. Therefore, the predicted order of finish for the top three horses is 3.5/1 (5) IMPERATIVE, 7/1 (2) YAKHABAR, and 14/1 (8) LOCHNAVER.

IMPERATIVE improved plenty for stepping up to 1m 4f on his handicap bow when filling the runner-up spot at Wolverhampton on his return to action. The four-year-old, who was making his debut for Iain Jardine, is entitled to build on that performance by going one better. Marbuzet won twice last season and is expected to bounce back from an underwhelming effort on his first run of the year at Thirsk, while others to consider include Well Planted and Ask Peter.

Irish raider UBERRIMA FIDES posted one of his better efforts when mid-field in a first-time visor at Dundalk last month and he gets the nod in the hope that this step up in trip triggers some improvement. Yakhabar has been in decent form on the all-weather and, unexposed on turf, he looks dangerous, while Marbuzet should also have a part to play, provided he steps up on his low-key reappearance.

Following an improved run on his stable debut when second at Wolverhampton last week IMPERATIVE is taken to get off the mark.

17:15 Windsor Stakes (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, it is likely that 0.8/1 (1) REVENUE and 1.38/1 (3) PALMAR BAY will do well in the race. As for the top three finishers, it is possible that 0.8/1 (1) REVENUE and 1.38/1 (3) PALMAR BAY could finish 1st and 2nd, while the third place is difficult to predict with the information given.

REVENUE made a fine start to his racing career when winning with something in hand at Brighton recently and he looks to have found a suitable opportunity to back that performance up. Newcomer Palmar Bay is the potential fly in the ointment and any market support should be respected. Clearly better was expected of Macedonian King than his seventh on debut at Beverley last month, but it's too early to be writing off Amy Murphy's colt.

If there's confidence behind newcomer PALMAR BAY in the betting, the hint should be taken. He ticks plenty of the right boxes on paper and represents a leading yard that has made a good start to the season. Revenue beat a next-time-out winner when scoring on his introduction at Bath and is the clear main danger, given that Macedonian King performed well below market expectations on his debut at Beverley and Tears of A Clown needs to take a big step forward.

This can go to REVENUE, who made a bright start at Brighton 16 days ago and sets a clear standard under a penalty for that success.

17:20 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

1st: 2.5/1 (7) KATH'S TOYBOY 2nd: 10/1 (11) BOBBY JOE LEG 3rd: 9/1 (13) MUDLAHHIM

KATH'S TOYBOY arrives boasting a consistent level of form, which includes a C&D success on his penultimate start when getting the better of the reopposing Bobby Joe Leg, and his second here over a furlong shorter, when narrowly denied, was boosted by the winner going in again at Haydock last Saturday. A 3lb rise is unlikely to stop him from going one better. The aforementioned Bobby Joe Leg is forgiven his subsequent turf effort and is entitled to be in the mix, while Saisons D'Or won over C&D two starts ago and would be respected if bouncing back to that kind of form.

KATH'S TOYBOY arrives at the top of his game and can score for the second time here this year. King of York and Tom Tulliver head the list of dangers.

Bobby Joe Leg is weighted to turn things round with KATH'S TOYBOY but the latter is in cracking form and can confirm the placings.

17:35 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 1.88/1 (1) TRUE LEGEND seems like the most promising horse as it is bred for longer distances and has the potential to do well now that it is handicapping. 3.5/1 (5) A DAY TO DREAM also shows promise after a recent win but may face tougher competition in this race. 3/1 (2) DAMASCUS STEEL has shown improvement but may need more experience, while 3.33/1 (4) BOOK OF TALES and 33/1 (3) STAR START have not shown enough promise to be considered top contenders. 1st place: 1.88/1 (1) TRUE LEGEND 2nd place: 3.5/1 (5) A DAY TO DREAM 3rd place: 3/1 (2) DAMASCUS STEEL

A Day To Dream struck by a length at Thirsk last time and has been raised 3lb for that effort, but he now switches to the all-weather and that could give the Sir Mark Prescott-trained TRUE LEGEND a big chance. The son of Camelot is bred to be a lot better than an opening mark of 63, and he fits the perfect type his master trainer does well with, as he takes a big step in trip for his handicap bow. Damascus Steel is also respected off the same mark as when a six-length second at Wolverhampton last time.

TRUE LEGEND didn't make much of an impact in his 3 outings last year, but he appeals as the type that his trainer does so well with now handicapping up in trip. The son of Camelot can leave his previous form behind to get off the mark, with Damascus Steel the main danger on his second start in a handicap. Book of Tales is the pick of the remainder.

Stepping up to 1m4f can see TRUE LEGEND leave his 2yo efforts well behind him.

1st: 2.75/1 (8) VILLAZON, 2nd: 4/1 (9) MINEKO, 3rd: 7.5/1 (4) BLENHEIM PRINCE

Orange N Blue appears to set the standard judged on his midfield finish in the Wood Ditton at Newmarket last month, but he may prove vulnerable to some interesting newcomers. VILLAZON, a half-brother to French Group 2 winner Strathspey, heads the list, and any market support for the son of Cracksman would make him of more interest. Fellow debutants Mineko and Circuit Breaker could also be smart and complete the shortlist.

ORANGE N BLUE displayed ability amidst obvious inexperience when fifth at Newmarket and sure to come on a lot for that, he could be the answer with this trip also in his favour. Newcomers may provide the main threats, with Villazon and Mineko of particular interest before market clues.

There are several interesting contenders in the line-up but the vote goes to the Gosdens' striking newcomer VILLAZON.

18:05 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, I predict that 2/1 (5) CALCUTTA DREAM, 4.5/1 (1) BEARWITH, and 5/1 (4) CUSACK have the best chances of finishing in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, respectively.

A chance can be taken on BEARWITH, who returns from a break after failing to justify favouritism over C&D in November and was dropped 1lb for that display. The son of Brazen Beau finished well for second on his penultimate run behind a subsequent winner and if able to reproduce that level of form, he ought to go very close. Calcutta Dream would be foolish to dismiss, after only being beaten half a length at Wolverhampton last time and he goes off the same mark. Of the remainder, Gonnetot is the most interesting on his handicap debut.

This can go to BEARWITH, who wasn't seen to best effect here in November and returns on a workable mark. Calcutta Dream rates the chief threat.

Dougies Dream is greatly respected up in trip but CUSACK has a solid record here and can come out on top.

1st: 1.88/1 (6) NOTHING TO SEA, 2nd: 3/1 (8) WE COULD BE HEROES, 3rd: 3.5/1 (5) LUNATICK

We Could Be Heroes sets the standard for others to aim at having placed behind the likes of Victory Dance and Marbaan on his first couple of starts. However, NOTHING TO SEA just shades the vote, as he shaped really well in second on his first start at Sandown over 7f in a race that has thrown out four subsequent winners since. With the step up in trip a possible source of improvement, he could prove tough to beat. Lunatick is also respected with Oisin Murphy booked.

NOTHING TO SEA shaped with plenty of promise when runner-up on debut in a Sandown novice (7f) on debut back in September and, with progress anticipated stepping up in trip, he earns the vote to come out on top for his in-form yard. We Could Be Heroes is feared most, with Peace Man and newcomer Baltic others worth a second look.

The vote goes to Ralph Beckett's Sandown runner-up NOTHING TO SEA, who has plenty of scope for progress upped in trip on his return.

1st - 0.5/1 (1) COPPICE, 2nd - 5/1 (5) FLEURIR, 3rd - 7/1 (8) RISING BAY

COPPICE was a disappointing favourite in the Nell Gwyn last time at Newmarket, but she raced on the wrong side of the track that day and has only had the two starts in her career. Therefore, another chance can be taken on the daughter of Kingman, who won well at Kempton on debut and she is in good hands. The main threat could be Rising Bay, who took a step forward when attempting to make all at Newmarket last time before fading into fourth and that form could be enough to give her a shout. Merrnaa is a newcomer to note.

Having created an excellent impression when scoring on debut in the autumn COPPICE looked all at sea at Newmarket in the Nell Gwyn and remains the type to do a lot better. She can capitalise on the return to calmer waters and defy a penalty. Fleurir and Rising Bay can chase her home.

Coppice is the one to beat but RISING BAY has shaped nicely in both starts and could pose a big threat in receipt of 7lb.

18:45 Windsor Handicap (Class 4) 11f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to predict without more information, but based on the summary, 1.5/1 (3) BUCEPHALUS seems to have the best chance of finishing in the top three, with 3.33/1 (4) SPLENDENT and 3.5/1 (5) DOWNSMAN as potential contenders. Therefore, the predicted order of finish is: 1. 1.5/1 (3) BUCEPHALUS, 2. 3.33/1 (4) SPLENDENT, 3. 3.5/1 (5) DOWNSMAN.

BUCEPHALUS scored on his penultimate start over 1m2f at Doncaster and now steps back up from a mile on his most recent effort for the Neil Mulholland stable. The six-year-old hit the line well over that trip and he is unexposed at this distance, which could give him a leading chance. Another to consider is Splendent, who was a respectable sixth in this class last time, when sporting a first-time tongue tie, and was dropped 1lb in the weights for that effort. Downsman is of interest in a first-time visor.

BUCEPHALUS made an impressive start for his new stable when scoring at Doncaster and his next effort is easily excused, so he's worth siding with ahead of Splendent, who wasn't disgraced at Haydock recently. Downsman is the pick of the remaining trio.

6yo BUCEPHALUS goes back up in trip and down in grade and is a big player if he can recapture the form of his Doncaster win last month.

1st: 2/1 (1) MARTIN'S BRIG 2nd: 2/1 (5) ODD SOCKS HAVANA 3rd: 5/1 (6) URBAN ROAD

Odd Socks Havana has been a model of consistency lately, with a win and two seconds from his last three starts, but he has no margin for error off his current mark and will need a career-best effort to win this. He can still go close, but it may be worth taking a chance that MARTIN'S BRIG can defy top-weight. He ran on well into second over seven furlongs at Redcar last month despite being short of room, and this represents a drop in grade. Urban Road could be best of the rest in a closely-matched handicap.

MARTIN'S BRIG ran a cracker when runner-up at Redcar last month and makes plenty of appeal off the same mark. Odd Socks Havana and Urban Road can also make their presence felt.

This is competitive but URBAN ROAD (nap) created a good impression at Southwell last month and still looks well handicapped.

1st place: 2.75/1 (4) BANG ON THE BELL 2nd place: 3.5/1 (2) RICH RHYTHM 3rd place: 3.5/1 (3) SECRET HANDSHEIKH

BANG ON THE BELL brought the double up on his latest outing when just prevailing by a short head at Yarmouth last month, and the four-year-old is only 2lb higher for that effort. With lots in his favour once more and the booking of Oisin Murphy a huge positive, he could prove difficult to beat. The main threat looks to be last-time-out winner Secret Handsheikh, who has been raised 4lb in the weights, which makes life tougher but he is still capable of going close, along with Rich Rhythm.

Preference is for RICH RHYTHM, who is still low mileage and begins the season off a handy mark. The in-form Bang on The Bell is feared most, whilst Gherkin can also make his presence felt.

Several have possibilities but the hat-trick seeking BANG ON THE BELL gets the vote ahead of Secret Handsheikh and Rich Rhythm.

1st: 1.25/1 (1) ANOTHER ANGEL 2nd: 9/1 (3) ROCKLEY POINT 3rd: 33/1 (5) QUANAH

ANOTHER ANGEL has to carry a 4lb penalty after winning over C&D on Friday, but he did that very easily by five lengths when making all and, if the same tactics are employed, he may well follow up here. Imperial Khan looks interesting out of stall nine, with his best form being a second over this C&D in February off 4lb higher, and he can go well, along with Lancashire Life. The latter was second here in late March despite being left with too much to do.

ANOTHER ANGEL is thriving, forging clear as he enhanced his fine C&D record 3 days ago, and he ought to prove tough to beat under a penalty. Imperial Khan's recent form figures are hardly inspiring, but he could represent some each-way value back on an artificial surface. Stallone and Deputise can also get in the mix.

Multiple C&D winner ANOTHER ANGEL trounced his rivals here on Friday and can make light of his 4lb penalty.

Based on the summary, 2.25/1 (1) TAMARAMA seems to be the strongest contender with a progressive record, recent win, and potential for more under a new trainer. 7/1 (4) GREY FOX and 20/1 (8) NIGHT EAGLE may also be in the running, but 2.25/1 (1) TAMARAMA appears to have the strongest potential. Therefore, the predicted finish would be: 1st - 2.25/1 (1) TAMARAMA 2nd - 7/1 (4) GREY FOX 3rd - 20/1 (8) NIGHT EAGLE

TAMARAMA improved for the step up to 1m2f when ending last season with a victory at Chelmsford in October. The daughter of Muhaarar could have more to offer, especially given the fact she was sold for 115,000gns subsequently and now makes her debut for Ralph Beckett. Dal Mallart is likely to progress from her first run of the season at Chelmsford, while Sophosc is of interest back on the level.

It's worth chancing the fitness of TAMARAMA as the form of her Chelmsford win last autumn looks strong given the second, third and fourth all won next time. She's unexposed at this trip and can make a successful start for the Ralph Beckett yard. Grey Fox's very good course record makes him a possible threat, while Sophosc has a good strike rate since this time last year and also merits respect.

Top of the list is TAMARAMA, who changed hands for 115,000gns in November and is open to more progress for her new yard this season.

Based on the summary, 4.5/1 (4) SLIPPIN JIMMY, 4.5/1 (2) SIDNEY'S SON, and 5/1 (3) BANQUO are the most likely to finish in the top three. 4.5/1 (4) SLIPPIN JIMMY has previous success on the course and has shown promise with a recent step up in trip. 4.5/1 (2) SIDNEY'S SON had a strong second-place finish last month and has potential for further improvement. 5/1 (3) BANQUO showed promise on his stable debut and may have more to offer now that he is handicapping. However, as with any horse race, there are no guarantees, and any of the other horses could surprise and finish in the top three.

Slippin Jimmy is well worth a market watch as the C&D winner has his first start of the season following a gelding operation. He could go well in this company, but BANQUO is narrowly preferred. Supported in the market and a beaten favourite when third at Southwell last month, he kept on late over shorter despite losing a shoe and may do better at this trip. My Honey B (also engaged to run at Hamilton on Sunday) wasn't beaten far on her Redcar return when fading late on and is another to consider dropped back a furlong.

SIDNEY'S SON showed much more than previously when runner-up in a 1m novice here 25 days ago and, with potential for better still now handicapping, he gets the narrow vote to come out on top. This does look competitive though, with Slippin Jimmy and My Honey B heading up the dangers. Roaring Ralph is also worth keeping an eye on with his reappearance under his belt.

A trappy race. Soft ground probably hasn't suited ROARING RALPH on his last two starts and he can benefit from AW/headgear today.

20:25 Windsor Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 1.25/1 (5) RACING DEMON seems to be the strongest contender as he has been improving in handicaps and was a clear second in a C&D handicap just two weeks ago. 4.5/1 (2) STINTINO SUNSET could also be in the mix as she is well treated on her best form and is unexposed on turf. For third place, 6/1 (6) DEEP SPIRIT could be a respectable choice as she has been in the frame twice in handicaps at Lingfield this year and gave a decent effort at Southwell last time.

Racing Demon has been knocking on the door on his last couple of starts and the gelding is likely to enter calculations once again, despite a 2lb rise for those efforts. The vote, though, goes to OPTIK, who hasn't shown much in three runs to date, but the application of first-time blinkers and being gelded are likely to bring about considerable improvement on his handicap debut. Stintino Sunset's last effort on turf saw her finish second at Leicester and she isn't one to discount.

RACING DEMON arrives in good form having finished runner-up on his last 2 starts, bumping into an improving rival over C&D last time, and he can build on those efforts to go one better this time around. Deep Spirit has been running respectably and could be the one to give the selection most to think about, ahead of Stintino Sunset.

Preference is for RACING DEMON (nap) who has finished runner-up in his last two starts including a clear second over C&D two weeks ago.

Many of these are old rivals and the margins are likely to be tight again. MUMCAT is a strong candidate judged on the pick of her form and, given she has gone well when partnered with Shane Gray before, the Jacqueline Coward-trained filly has a lot going for her running off 7lb lower than her only previous winning mark. Athollblair Boy was a half-length in front of the selection when scoring here in March and rates as the main danger, while Jems Bond also warrants serious consideration.

This looks wide open and it could just pay to take a chance on REDZONE. His last 4 victories have come on all weather and, with cheekpiece refitted, he could represent a spot of value from an easing mark. Hilary's Boy on debut for Mick Appleby, Jems Bond and Emeralds Pride are others to consider.

Several possibles but ATHOLLBLAIR BOY loves it here and he can record a 13th career victory back down into a Class 6.

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.
