13:30 Chester Handicap (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Prediction: 5.5/1 (2) LOOK OUT LOUIS is likely to do well in this race based on his past performances and form. 4/1 (1) KING'S LYNN and 7/1 (5) NIGHT ON EARTH are the other horses that could finish in 2nd and 3rd place respectively. 22/1 (6) MOKAATIL and 3/1 (8) LIHOU may not be as well-suited to the track and 12/1 (4) HARRY'S BAR may struggle on turf. 4/1 (3) NYMPHADORA has potential but may need more time to regain her form.

This can go the way of course specialist LOOK OUT LOUIS, who won this contest off 14lb lower last year and had a nice pipe-opener in a Listed contest at Lingfield in February. Another previous winner at this meeting, Lihou has been in terrific form of late and must enter calculations, along with talented Irish raider Harry's Bar. Nymphadora may be winless since May 2021, but some of her form from last season gives her a chance.

It could be worth siding with NIGHT ON EARTH who seems sure to strip fitter with his reappearance behind him and he's landed the inside stall. King's Lynn hasn't been as lucky in the draw department but he adds a touch of class to the race, with Look Out Louis another to consider for his in-form yard.

Look Out Louis is unbeaten in sprint handicaps here but LIHOU is better drawn and looked in good form on soft at Epsom last time.

13:40 Huntingdon Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary provided, 1.5/1 (1) A DEFINITE GETAWAY is the most likely to do well as they have a recent solid performance and have run consistently. Therefore, our prediction for the top three horses are: 1st: 1.5/1 (1) A DEFINITE GETAWAY 2nd: 1.75/1 (4) PARK HILL DANCER 3rd: 3/1 (3) FINAL ENCORE

A DEFINITE GETAWAY arrives here on the back of two second-placed finishes and this appears to be a perfect opportunity for the five-year-old to go one better. Park Hill Dancer has the ability to give the selection plenty to think about, while Final Encore came up short in a good Cheltenham race last time but he is more than capable of making the frame at this level.

A DEFINITE GETAWAY isn't obviously capable of better but a repeat of his runner-up effort at Market Rasen a month ago may well get the job done. Park Hill Dancer is the obvious threat, though this is a much easier race than Final Encore's latest assignment.

Tentative preference is for A DEFINITE GETAWAY, who was inconsistent last season but ran well on his latest outing.

13:50 Southwell Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, the horses that are likely to finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd are: 1st: 12/1 (8) JURYMAN - He has won his last race and has shown improvement since being gelded. He is expected to give another good account despite the 4lb rise in weight. 2nd: 8/1 (5) ODIN OWNS YOU ALL - He has won a C&D race before and ran a solid second in his last race. He is much respected and is expected to perform well. 3rd: 5/1 (7) A TASTE OF HONEY - She has won her last two races and is open to further improvement. She should make a bold bid for the hat-trick and is expected to finish in the top three.

Runner-up on her two most recent starts, including over this trip at Lingfield in February, CHOISYA is entitled to go one better here. She is fairly well-related and the unexposed daughter of Night Of Thunder may be capable of better, despite a 2lb rise for her most recent outing. Yorkshire seemed to appreciate a return to the all-weather when securing a game victory over 6f in March and he is feared, while Odin Owns You All is another to consider.

A TASTE OF HONEY's form is on an upward curve and a 3 lb rise for her emphatic Lingfield success doesn't look sufficient to prevent her from completing a hat-trick. Course-winner Yorkshire also looks to have better days ahead of him and is feared most ahead of C&D winner Choisya.

A Taste Of Honey still looks well handicapped but preference is for YORKSHIRE, who impressed here two months ago.

1st: 3.5/1 (1) THEORYOFEVERYTHING 2nd: 5/1 (6) SURELY NOT 3rd: 10/1 (4) PROMOTER

VETIVER made quite the impression when scoring readily at Beverley last month and she is drawn to attack from the front once more from stall two. A mark of 90 on her handicap debut could underestimate her and she gets the vote ahead of Greenham third Theoryofeverything and Self Aclaim, who arrives on a hat-trick. We might not have seen the best of Urban Sprawl yet and he is another to note.

A really intriguing 3-y-o handicap and despite a less-than-ideal draw it could pay to side with THEORYOFEVERYTHING. A most impressive winner on debut at Doncaster, he ran well upped markedly in class when third in the Greenham at Newbury subsequently and there's highly likely more to come now handicapping. Easy Beverley scorer Vetiver is feared from a handy draw, along with Urban Sprawl and Lord Uhtred.

The front-running URBAN SPRAWL made a good return to action when second in a competiive Musselburgh race and can go one better now.

1st - 2/1 (2) PARC D'AMOUR 2nd - 6/1 (1) I HOPE STAR 3rd - 4/1 (4) ODIN'S QUEST

PARC D'AMOUR only found one too good on his handicap debut at Warwick 10 days ago and the first-time application of a hood could help him to score off the same mark here. Odin's Quest won a maiden hurdle at Wincanton recently and an opening rating of 103 should be workable for him. I Hope Star is the pick of the remainder.

PARC D'AMOUR travelled like a well-handicapped horse at Warwick 10 days ago, and with a hood hopefully settling him down early, he can prove that point here. Odin's Quest is the chief threat, though Choirmaster is of some interest with a tongue strap fitted on the back of a breathing op.

Kim Bailey's PARC D'AMOUR found one just too good on his recent handicap debut but can gain quick compensation off the same mark here.

14:25 Southwell Maiden (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, it is difficult to determine with certainty which horse will finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. However, 5/1 (9) ORMOLULU and 1.5/1 (7) DEAR DAPHNE are mentioned as promising and having each-way claims, respectively. 2.75/1 (5) OKAMI is also respected as a newcomer from a top yard. 33/1 (6) SMOKEY LONESOME and 100/1 (10) ROXY'S CHARM are not expected to be strong contenders. The remaining horses have shown some ability but may be more suited for handicaps in the future.

This could go the way of ORMOLULU, who made a promising start to her racing career when filling the runner-up spot over C&D last month. She has a solid chance of breaking her maiden at the second time of asking and is taken to come on for a reputable stable. Okami rates an interesting newcomer and the gelded son of Showcasing cannot be underestimated for powerful connections. Kracking looks the pick of the remainder.

OKAMI's sales prices increased as a 2-y-o and while he didn't race last year he's been gelded ahead of debut for his top yard and is likely to know his job. He could be the answer, with Dear Daphne a big threat if back on her game, along with Ormolulu.

It may be worth chancing KRACKING who finished last of three on his Wolverhampton debut but did well to finish as close as he did.

1st - 2.5/1 (3) ALDER 2nd - 3.5/1 (1) LOCAL DYNASTY 3rd - 10/1 (4) HADRIANUS

A taking winner at Cork on his return last month, ALDER could be a Derby prospect for Donnacha O'Brien and he can go a long way to cementing his place by scoring in this valuable contest. The son of Australia remains unexposed at this trip and his form is of a higher level than Newmarket debut winner Passenger and San Antonio, who hails from the stable which has won this contest in four of the last five years. The well-related Local Dynasty is another to consider.

Aidan O'Brien has had a stranglehold on this contest in recent seasons, but this year he may be forced to play second fiddle to son Donnacha in the shape of ALDER, who relished the step up in trip when scoring at Cork on return just under 3 weeks ago and he can take this step up in class in his stride. San Antonio is put forward as the main danger after his impressive display at Dundalk, with Local Dynasty and Passenger another couple fancied to be in the mix.

The form choice is ALDER who has improved on every start, scoring in some style last time. Passenger may be the chief threat.

1st: 3.5/1 (3) RAGAMUFFIN 2nd: 4/1 (2) ELIOS D'OR 3rd: 12/1 (6) DINO VELVET

The consistent Ragamuffin has to be respected on his return to action, but preference is for ELIOS D'OR. Robert Walford's gelding won well over hurdles at Kempton and his subsequent defeat at Warwick can be forgiven, although he is 10lb higher back over fences here. Viva Lavilla should not be underestimated, while Dino Velvet is another who could make the frame.

SOMEKINDOFSTAR signalled he's ready to go in again when a promising fourth at Warwick after a lay-off so gets the nod at the chief expense of Elios d'Or, who can build on his recent third at the same track now reverted to this sphere. Ragamuffin is another who needs factoring in despite a lack of a recent run.

Doubts over most, but ELIOS D'OR's 4-8 record in class 4 handicap chases gets him the narrow verdict over the returning Ragamuffin.

1st: 7/1 (6) OPTIVA STAR 2nd: 6/1 (7) ROGUE SOLDIER 3rd: 7/1 (2) EXORBITANT

This represents a good opportunity for CRUISE to get off the mark and she stands out in a contest lacking a considerable amount of depth. She reverts back to maiden territory following a creditable effort in a handicap last month and looks open to progression, but Rogue Soldier is fairly well-related and could improve from his racecourse debut dropping in trip. Crazy Crackers completes the shortlist.

CRUISE has made a positive start for her new stable and may do better still, so she looks well capable of opening her account against some opposition that hasn't achieved as much as she has. Master Dandy makes plenty of appeal on paper and is feared on debut, while Rogue Soldier could get involved if improving from first to second run.

The filly CRUISE has some invaluable experience under her belt and, if holding her form, she may be capable of breaking her duck.

1st: 2/1 (1) HAMISH, 2nd: Better Than Ever, 3rd: 2/1 (3) CHANGINGOFTHEGUARD

Hamish has proven to run well fresh in the past and the gelded son of Motivator was only narrowly denied by MAX VEGA at Newbury when last seen in October. William Haggas' charge is prominent in the betting for the Yorkshire Cup, but Ralph Beckett's reopposing six-year-old is taken to confirm the Newbury form. He finished a decent third when giving 3lb to the first and second in the John Porter Stakes last month and that run offers plenty of encouragement. Changingoftheguard won the Chester Vase last year and is also respected.

HAMISH won this last year with something to spare and is very much the class act, so he gets the nod ahead of Enemy who did well in Dubai earlier in the year. A case can be made for most of the others, but Old Harrovian is perhaps the most intriguing of them having won so emphatically at Wolverhampton last time.

The most likely outcome is another Ormonde win for HAMISH. He is campaigned very selectively these days and usually to great effect.

1st: 4/1 (7) GAIA VALLIS, 2nd: 8/1 (2) KENTFORD MALLARD, 3rd: 6/1 (1) SADIE HILL

Gaia Vallis was second by a neck last time at Taunton and was put up 2lb for that solid effort. She will face different conditions on this occasion, which could give a chance to MILANESE ROSE. The daughter of Milan ran well off this mark on her penultimate start at Plumpton and, if able to reproduce that level of form, she is likely to go very close. Sadie Hill and First Venture are others to watch out for.

GAIA VALLIS saw the 3m trip out with more conviction than had previously been the case when finishing runner-up at Taunton a fortnight ago, so David Bridgwater's 7-y-o is fancied to go a place better and continue her fine run of form. The main danger may emerge from Sadie Hill, who narrowly got off the mark at Ffos Las last month and should be competitive again from just a 3 lb higher mark. Div Ine Tara and Kentford Mallard can fight out third spot.

An open race, but as likely improvers for the step up to 3m, BEAN NORTY and Div Ine Tara are preferred in that order.

1. 4.5/1 (7) THORNABY BEAUTY 2. 9/1 (12) GINNY JO 3. 7.5/1 (1) NARASHA

A couple of fascinating handicap debutants head to post in what looks on open contest, of whom PROTEST RALLY shades the vote. The Dandy Man colt showed ability across his three runs to date and is bred to be far better than an opening mark of 60, so it would be no surprise were Ed Walker's charge to take a step forward today. Similarly, Narasha is likely to find improvement now handicapping, while Thornaby Beauty, whose best effort to date came when finishing second over C&D, is another to note.

PROTEST RALLY shaped nicely under a considerate ride when fifth on his qualifying run at Chelmsford and he's likely to prove better than a mark of 60, so a chance is taken on him. Thornaby Beauty is of interest on the back of a solid showing at Catterick and Narasha is another notable handicap newcomer.

The filly NARASHA took a step in the right direction last time and is taken to keep going the right way now dropped back to this trip.

Based on the summary, the top three horses predicted to finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd are: 1st - 7/1 (5) DREAM HARDER 2nd - 8/1 (11) STATELY HOME 3rd - 9/1 (3) BOX TO BOX

CITY STREAK rates a big player on the pick of his form and Andrew Balding's four-year-old must hold every chance of building on a promising third over a similar trip at Chelmsford last month. He filled the runner-up spot over C&D on his third-last outing in July and another bold showing looks assured off 4lb higher. Connections of Thunder Max reach for first-time blinkers following a decent fourth at Haydock most recently and he is noted along with Dream Harder.

A case can be made for a few of these but it is worth siding with STATELY HOME, who figures on a handy mark with his recent Newbury fifth working out well and can now add to his reappearance Kempton success. The reliable City Streak can also have a say on the back of an encouraging Chelmsford City third, while C&D scorer Jean Baptiste and in-form Dream Harder need shortlisting too.

The most solid option appears to be CITY STREAK (nap), whose steadily progressive form last season includes a C&D second.

1st: 6/1 (6) WILLIAM OF YORK. 2nd: 4.5/1 (2) ISSAR D'AIRY. 3rd: 4/1 (7) SWAPPED.

William Of York brought the double up at Huntingdon last time and was raised a further 5lb in the ratings for that victory, which may not be enough to stop him here. However, preference is for SWAPPED, who is returning from a break after having a wind operation and looks to have been given a workable opening mark, with the step up to this distance a possible source of improvement. Issar D'Airy, Great Ocean and Denable are other contenders to note.

A fairly useful winner in bumpers, SWAPPED didn't go without promise in a trio of novice hurdles last campaign and, with progress anticipated now handicapping for his powerful stable, he could well be worth chancing to come out on top following wind surgery. Great Ocean comes here on the back of solid placed efforts and is feared, with the hat-trick seeking William of York and Issar d'Airy others fancied to feature.

4lb lower than when second to a very well-handicapped rival in September, DENABLE (nap) and is due a 2lb rise for last week's good run.

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

Based on the information provided, it is difficult to predict with absolute certainty which horse will finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. However, 1.75/1 (1) BILL PLUMB and 5/1 (5) BLAZING SON seem to be the strongest contenders. 1.75/1 (1) BILL PLUMB has improved this year, has won two consecutive races, and is weighted to complete his hat-trick. 5/1 (5) BLAZING SON has only been defeated once in his last four starts and won his latest race impressively. 8/1 (2) ROSHAMBO and 8/1 (3) MASTERCLASS also have potential to place in the top three.

BILL PLUMB proved that a mark of 70 was well within range when winning at Kempton last month, his second success in as many starts. The unexposed son of Footstepsinthesand is fancied to shrug off a subsequent 2lb rise in the handicap and bring up his hat-trick, possibly at the main expense of recent Newcastle scorer Blazing Son. Rhythm's winning run came to an end at Doncaster, but she's not without a chance back on an artificial surface.

BILL PLUMB has taken his form up a level this term and looks weighted to bag a hat-trick nudged up only 2 lb for his recent Kempton success. Roshambo still has few miles on the clock and needs considering on her seasonal return. Newcastle-scorer Blazing Son appeals as the pick of the rest for place purposes.

Bill Plumb is dangerous going for the hat-trick but ROSHAMBO (nap) showed plenty on Tapeta in 2022 and more success awaits her.

HACKMAN showed plenty of ability at Newmarket last month, where he briefly led before fading into third late on. The son of Mehmas ought to improve for that initial experience, though, and could be worth siding with. George Boughey is represented by newcomer Big Time Rascal, who merits the utmost respect along with the Richard Hannon-trained The Camden Colt. Innvincible Friend shaped with promise on his debut at Ripon and is another to consider.

Preference is for HACKMAN, who travelled well for a long way on his Newmarket debut last month and can be expected to progress from that. She's Smart has the edge on experience over her rivals and is much respected, whilst Innvincible Friend can also make his presence felt.

Three newcomers have the best draws and they need checking in the betting. As things stand, HACKMAN edges preference.

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

It is difficult to determine which horse will do well from this summary as there is limited information on their recent form and performance. However, based on their recent races and potential, 2.25/1 (7) DOYENS DE ANTE and 4/1 (3) I'M A STARMAN seem like strong contenders for the top three positions. 11/1 (1) TEL'ART could also have a chance if there is no significant rain. Without more information, it is impossible to accurately predict the exact finishing order of the horses.

I'M A STARMAN returned to form when second at Wincanton last month and is feared with ground conditions likely to suit. Dorado Dollar is another boasting claims at this level, as he took a step in the right direction when finishing a neck second at Warwick last month. Of the others, Carrigeen Konini might be a bit of each-way value on her first start for Micky Hammond.

I'M A STARMAN returned to the pick of his chase form when runner-up at Wincanton 25 days ago and, with this ease in class an obvious plus, he earns the vote to open his account in this sphere. The participation of Doyen de Ante (due to run at Fontwell Wednesday) would put a different slant on things given the manner of his Chepstow success previously, however.

Second in a Wincanton 0-110 last time to a subsequent winner, I'M A STARMAN is chosen over Chepstow scorer Doyens De Ante.

However, as with any horse race, there are no guarantees and any of the horses could potentially surprise with a strong performance.

Na Scoitear proved well suited by the step up to a mile when winning a maiden handicap over C&D last month and though he merits respect, GOLDEN MAVERICK is preferred. He finished a good third over course and distance on his handicap debut, before going on to win at Wetherby 11 days ago. Ian Williams' charge must saddle a 6lb penalty today, but it's unlikely he has reached the ceiling of his ability just yet. Twilight Guest completes the shortlist.

GOLDEN MAVERICK improved and overcame a pace bias when scoring at Wetherby recently and he's well worth a chance to go in again. Na Scoitear is a likeable type who was better than ever when successful over C&D last time, so he's regarded as a threat, and it will be no surprise to see Dawn Mission up his game on his first try in handicaps.

Top of the list is GOLDEN MAVERICK, who won in good style at Wetherby 11 days ago and is open to more progress back on Tapeta.

NED'S LEGACY was beaten 29 lengths on debut but ran quite well and should improve. Held up off the pace at Tramore, she finished well and while ultimately well beaten, the winner and runner-up were experienced and the selection is open to vast improvement. Top weight Je T'ai Porte is a 73-rated dual flat winner and while a keen-goer, showed improved form when making the running under a similar penalty at Kilbeggan. She is experienced but soft ground is concerning. Phil's Choice ran out when looking likely to win at Limerick in November and while she returned to form in a recent Grade 3 bumper, would prefer good ground. Stormy Outlook debuts over hurdles but will be well schooled and has soft-ground, middle-distance flat form, so might place. Up And Out has placed form in similar maiden hurdles but prefers a sound surface.

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and JE T'AI PORTE can go one better than when an excellent Kilbeggan second last time and open her account in this sphere. Up And Out also has the form to play a part and rates the chief threat, with Ned's Legacy a solid place prospect if, as expected, building on her encouraging Tramore debut third.

Although preferring better ground UP AND OUT gets the nod in a weak mares' maiden over Je T'ai Porte

CANTORA has found significant improvement following her switch to handicaps, and the daughter of Time Test, who was hit with an 11lb rise for last month's Beverley success, may yet have more to offer. Demilion was far from disgraced in a warm 0-95 contest at Newmarket 22 days ago and must be seriously considered, along with Sovereign Spirit, who arrives in search of his hat-trick having notched up a brace of wins at Lingfield.

The vote goes to the filly CANTORA, who had any amount in hand when scoring at Beverley and she is appealing with Ryan Moore doing the steering here, for all that an 11 lb rise in the weights asks a question. The hat-trick seeking Sovereign Spirit will be a danger to all provided he is able to continue the good work back on turf, while Demilion and Nobody Told Me are others to consider, along with likely improver Burglar's Dream.

At the foot of the weights, BURGLAR'S DREAM may be the one to take the most telling step forward. Nobody Told Me is second choice.

Broomhill Road and Whatawit appeal most from those with previous experience and each are worth monitoring in the betting. However, there are a few interesting newcomers that appeal on pedigree, with HEAD OVER HINDS, whose dam won a bumper in Ireland before progressing to be a Grade 3 winner over hurdles, looking the most attractive proposition. He debuts for a yard in flying form and appears to have been found an ideal platform to launch his career. Potters Bishop is another compelling debutant.

MONTECAM is a half-brother to Altior among others and, while only sixth at Kempton on debut, the fact that he was sent off 9/4 looks significant. He might well be able to improve enough to open his account at the second attempt and he's marginally preferred to Broomhill Road, who made a pleasing start at Doncaster a couple of months ago. Lucky Place, a stablemate of the selection, is also worthy of consideration first time out.

Altior's half-brother MONTECAM arguably ran a bit better than the bare form suggests when sixth on his Kempton debut and gets the vote.

Grandfather Tom arrives with similar claims after an easy success at Lingfield last week, while course winner Thegreatestshowman has become well handicapped of late.

GRANDFATHER TOM capitalised on his much-reduced mark when comfortably seeing off 5 rivals at Lingfield 7 days ago and a repeat should see him firmly in the mix once more under a penalty. Dapper Man, a winner himself over C&D on Monday, can give the selection most to think about.

This looks between the C&D specialist Dapper Man and GRANDFATHER TOM who ended a losing run impressively at Lingfield last week.

17:18 Clonmel Handicap Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary provided, it is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well in the race. However, some horses worth considering for the top three positions are 4/1 (16) PONT AUDEMER, 9/1 (9) BAL DE RIO, and 6/1 (18) FUTURE PROOF (if they make it into the race as a reserve). These horses have shown some recent form and have been competitive in previous races. However, it is important to note that horse racing is unpredictable, and other horses could surprise and perform better than expected.

PONT AUDEMER faces older horses but has already run well in handicaps and remains unexposed. An easy-to-back winner at Limerick in January, his two subsequent runs were satisfactory with the Navan form working out well and he should continue to progress. Grange Walk is rated 33lb higher over fences and while very capable in that sphere, was beaten from today's same rating in his last two hurdles, although his latest run was when a useful third over course and distance last November. New Ross doesn't look ahead of the handicapper and would prefer a sound surface while Tom McGreevy has useful recent form but would prefer good ground. As Tears Go By is possibly best watched on reappearance on handicap debut. Morning Logic was hampered before finishing well held at Punchestown while reappearing Boom Boom Boom needs a sound surface.

The interesting one here is BOOM BOOM BOOM on handicap debut over hurdles given he's improved on the level since we last saw him tackling obstacles. Pont Audemer is a rock-solid opponent, with Tom McGreevy completing the shortlist.

There was plenty to like about the return to action of BIG ISLAND in a Limerick Flat maiden and he gets a sporting selection

17:35 Thirsk Stakes (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 0.53/1 (1) OH SO CHARMING and Built are the strongest contenders with 5/1 (2) DEVIL'S KINGDOM and 11/1 (6) DREAMING SPIRES also having a chance. 7/1 (4) OWNERS DREAM and 33/1 (5) THE MALTON MAULER are unlikely to be in the top three. It's difficult to predict 25/1 (3) KITTEN'S BAY's performance as it will be its debut and the market will be the best guide for its chances. 1st: 0.53/1 (1) OH SO CHARMING 2nd: Built 3rd: 5/1 (2) DEVIL'S KINGDOM

OH SO CHARMING, who was a respectable third when introduced over C&D last August, is hard to oppose given how comfortably he won subsequently. The son of Charm Spirit obviously learnt plenty from his debut because he blitzed his rivals in a decent looking novice stakes at Redcar. Returning to familiar surroundings is a sound move and a follow-up success is a distinct possibility. Devil's Kingdom rates as the main danger, although Dreaming Spires could figure with a step forward.

It's likely we haven't seen the best of OH SO CHARMING yet and he is taken to make a winning reappearance. Owners Dream is also open to improvement and may provide the chief threat.

If OH SO CHARMING's issues with the stalls are behind him this looks a good opportunity for him to kick off his 3yo campaign with a win.

17:43 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 3.5/1 (5) TIO MIO seems to be the strongest contender, having won comfortably in its latest outing and showing improvement from previous runs. Bay of Naples and 2.75/1 (4) THEONLYWAYISWESSEX are also strong contenders, having won at the course before and showing good form this year. Therefore, the predicted order of finish would be 3.5/1 (5) TIO MIO in 1st, Bay of Naples in 2nd, and 2.75/1 (4) THEONLYWAYISWESSEX in 3rd.

THEONLYWAYISWESSEX may have disappointed at Lingfield last time out, but he still wasn't beaten far and the form of that contest has worked out well since. Alan King's charge was a winner over C&D on his penultimate start and he is narrowly preferred to Tio Mio, who scored here last month. A winner of two of his last three outings, Glen Cove could also have a say in proceedings on his return from a break.

TIO MIO got right back on track when scoring here last time and looks weighted to have a big say again despite taking a 7 lb hike in the weights. C&D winner Theonlywayiswessex is next on the list with Golden Keeper also worth considering having not been seen to best effect when fifth at Chelmsford City.

The reappearing GLEN COVE is 2-2 in AW handicaps over this trip and has not had much racing.

17:48 Clonmel Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary, the horses that are likely to do well are 5/1 (1) STUZZIKINI, 4/1 (4) WESTERN COMANDOR, and 2.75/1 (2) WASTHATOK. 5/1 (1) STUZZIKINI has shown recent form and is a fairly useful hurdler. 4/1 (4) WESTERN COMANDOR has won a novice hurdle before and warrants respect. 2.75/1 (2) WASTHATOK won a maiden hurdle last month and can only improve. 33/1 (6) FEMALE APPROACH is not expected to perform well in this company. Therefore, the predicted order of finish is 5/1 (1) STUZZIKINI in first place, followed by 2.75/1 (2) WASTHATOK in second, and 4/1 (4) WESTERN COMANDOR in third.

WASTHATOK won well on jumps debut recently, having shown promise in useful bumpers. He seemed to improve at Kilbeggan and can progress further jumping-wise. Stuzzikini won a Kilbeggan maiden and the Punchestown charity race and while his rider claim 5lbs, nonetheless has enough weight tackling a capable selection. Western Comandor won a Down Royal maiden in which Stuzzikini pulled up in March (the third-placed horse showed himself in a better light subsequently) and should be competitive from his 116 rating. Gentleman Joe, Listed-placed on the Flat, has been a shade disappointing over hurdles but had plenty horses behind him in a useful Fairyhouse handicap last month. Estepona Sun reappears following a layoff, would prefer good ground and hasn't won for almost three years.

Preference is for WASTHATOK, who scored at the first time of asking in this sphere at Kilbeggan last month and remains open to improvement. Stuzzikini may provide the chief threat.

Another progressive type is WASTHATOK (nap) who won readily at Kilbeggan and can only improve further

Based on the summary, the horses that are predicted to do well and finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places are: 1st place: 6/1 (7) BILLIAN 2nd place: 4/1 (8) HANNAH'S RETURN 3rd place: 3.5/1 (3) MONSIEUR FANTAISIE

Having landed a classified event in March, BILLIAN lost nothing in defeat when finishing third in handicap company at Wolverhampton last time out. Recent form can often count for plenty in these types of races, so he edges the vote over Monsieur Fantaisie, who wasn't beaten far on his latest outing. Hannah's Return should appreciate the return to an artificial surface and is another to keep onside, while Fristel completes the shortlist.

HANNAH'S RETURN seemed to get bogged down on heavy ground at Windsor 17 days ago and now returned to the AW he is taken to get back on the up. This is competitive though, with Monsieur Fantaisie not yet exposed for Archie Watson, while a good pace would bring habitual-slow starter Billian into the equation.

Preference is for MONSIEUR FANTAISIE, who has been in good form for Archie Watson and can gain a first win for the yard.

18:10 Thirsk Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the information provided, it is difficult to confidently predict which horse will do well in the race. However, 4/1 (6) JACK OF CLUBS and 3.5/1 (7) WE'RENOTREALLYHERE seem to have some potential for improvement and are worth keeping in mind. As for the horses that will finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, it is impossible to accurately predict without further information or knowledge of the horses' past performances.

PRINCESS SAVANNAH is a likely candidate for top honours in this company as she starts her season off a competitive mark. She signed off her first campaign with a fourth over 7f at Wolverhampton, but she is a half-sister to three winners over this trip and the application of cheekpieces could sharpen her up for her return. Jack Of Clubs and Honour Your Dreams look the chief dangers to the selection, although We'renotreallyhere is dangerous to underestimate.

It could just pay to side with HONOUR YOUR DREAMS. Having run well on his seasonal bow at Newcastle, he didn't convince tackling the extended 7f trip at Beverley on his latest outing 2 weeks ago and, returned to sprinting, it would come as no surprise to see him fare better from this career-low mark. We'renotreallyhere and Jack of Clubs head up the dangers.

With the Michael Dods team going well now the vote goes to JACK OF CLUBS, who was first home on his side at Ripon last time.

1st: 10/1 (12) SKRADIN 2nd: 9/1 (11) POWER HOUR 3rd: 2.25/1 (1) FAMEAFTERTHEGLORY

Lowly-rated but unexposed flat performer ALL IN PEDER bumped into a now four-time hurdles winner on jumps debut at Aintree last June. That third-placed horse was a previous winner and while All In Peder was recently beaten on a heavy-ground flat handicap, could be suited by this extra distance, on a sounder surface and is now race-fit. Fameaftertheglory has been unable to concede his bumper-winners' penalty over hurdles and was well held at Kilbeggan recently. Evesham Road finished ahead of Marv Michael in a recent bumper, where the third-horse improved to win well subsequently. Both are closely matched although Marv Michael has a better profile being a debut winner (beating two subsequent points winners) at Kinsale and should improve from that Cork reappearance. Skradin was a beaten favourite in an ordinary contest here in March while Power Hour has been running well but also has plenty on his plate. Itso Vango would prefer good ground and reappears in a first-time tongue-tie.

FAMEAFTERTHEGLORY has undoubtedly become frustrating over jumps but there's no doubting he has the ability to land a race of this nature and, with blinkers refitted, this could be the day he gets off the mark. Skradin ran his best race yet when runner-up over 2m here latest and is feared, with hurdles debutant Marv Michael and All In Peder others to note.

Maybe it could pay to give one final chance to FAMEAFTERTHEGLORY who has to come good at some stage

18:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, my prediction for the horses that will finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd are: 1st - 1.88/1 (4) FISCAL POLICY 2nd - 4/1 (6) MUSTAFFIZ 3rd - 4/1 (1) SPANISH ANGEL 1.88/1 (4) FISCAL POLICY is the leading contender and has performed well in his last race, with a potentially good move to drop back to the minimum trip. 4/1 (6) MUSTAFFIZ has a good C&D 2nd in his latest race, and while he has been on a long losing run, he should be considered off an untouched mark. 4/1 (1) SPANISH ANGEL has a good 3rd place finish in his latest race and is well in the mix, but may be vulnerable due to the higher weight.

FISCAL POLICY was narrowly denied when making his return to action at Kempton last week and the son of Profitable makes plenty of appeal in his bid to go one better. Spanish Angel remains well treated from his current mark and must feature prominently in calculations, along with Mustaffiz, who hit the woodwork over C&D last month. Tomshalfbrother hasn't been seen since April 2022 when he won at Southwell and the seven-year-old isn't discounted.

FISCAL POLICY was just touched off back from a break at Kempton last week and he is likely to prove a tough nut to crack reverting to the minimum trip off the same mark here. Next on the list is Mustaffiz, who has found just one too good on 3 of his last 4 starts and could again be in line for the runner-up spot. Tomshalfbrother's well-being has to be taken on trust following a 13-month absence but he will have a fighting chance if fully tuned-up.

There was a lot to like about the reappearance second of FISCAL POLICY (nap) at Kempton and he gets a confident vote.

William Dewhirst showed promise when just denied at Pontefract but, despite helping to set a decent standard, he was five and a half lengths behind LEAP DAY when they encountered each other at Newcastle in March and Tim Easterby's gelding is the logical one to be with. The son of Gregorian wasn't beaten far when switched to turf at Doncaster recently and another step forward can see him break his maiden. Aclaim To Fame completes the shortlist.

WILLIAM DEWHIRST showed much improved form when runner-up at Pontefract last month, losing out only on the nod having finished strongly, and he can go one better with further progress to come. Leap Day has placed on both of his starts so far and is feared most, ahead of Aclaim To Fame.

There should be more to come from recent Pontefract second WILLIAM DEWHIRST, who can make it third time lucky.

LILIAN BLAND has improved recently and ran well over course and distance last month. Ground-versatile, she won a point-to-point in February and bumped into now 21lb higher-rated Mighty Jeremy here in April. Rathnaleen Kal ran well on handicap debut at Tipperary, finishing ahead of third-placed Go Gill Go and fifth-placed Leading The Way (which had chased home Mighty Jeremy at Cork in March) and the trio should each again compete well. Aliunde finished reasonably well in a similar Downpatrick race recently while Duke Otto has claims on best form but is a 14-race maiden.

ALIUNDE upped his game when third at Downpatrick last time and remains low mileage. He can open his account here. Lilian Bland and Kate Ill Know head the list of dangers.

Plenty with chances, none more so than LILLIAN BLAND, whose C&D second to the progressive Mighty Jeremy last month reads well

It could pay to side with the unraced OWL ISLAND, who is related to some smart types and makes plenty of appeal from his low draw. The gelded son of Dark Angel is fancied to make a winning racecourse debut, but the Charlie Hills-trained Sugar Hill is progressing with each run and can give the selection plenty to think about. Extinction is another who warrants serious consideration.

This looks a good opportunity for SUGAR HILL, who built on his encouraging racecourse bow when third at Newbury last month. Profit Given ought to improve from her Southwell debut and warrants respect, whilst Owl Island looks the pick of the newcomers.

The vote goes to SUGAR HILL, who holds much the best form on show and looks to have been found a good opportunity to open his account

1st - 3.33/1 (8) TURBULENT POWER 2nd - 3/1 (6) ROBERT JOHNSON 3rd - 14/1 (3) THE NEW MARWAN

The key piece of form to focus on in this contest could be ROBERT JOHNSON holding Turbulent Power by half a length over this trip at Catterick. Phil Kirby's gelding is 2lb worse off, but he looked well on top despite drifting left at the finish and is fancied to confirm his superiority. The New Marwan is now 3lb lower than his last winning mark and is of interest returning from a break.

TURBULENT POWER arrives here in good heart after a brace of second-placed efforts at Catterick and she's fancied to turn the tables with Robert Johnson, who took advantage of a pace collapse to nail her close home last time. Jamil appeals as being on a fair mark back on the Flat and is another to keep an eye on.

A 2lb swing in the weights might be enough for TURBULENT POWER to turn around last month's Catterick form with Robert Johnson.

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

Based on the summary, it is difficult to confidently predict which horse will win the race. However, 1.75/1 (5) BELLA UNION and 6/1 (9) ANSTAND appear to have good chances on their previous form, with 1.75/1 (5) BELLA UNION being a promising individual and 6/1 (9) ANSTAND having recently run competitively with blinkers on. For the remaining places, 20/1 (7) MOSAAHEB and 11/1 (11) STEALING KISSES may have potential to improve as lightly-raced maidens, while 8.5/1 (17) BEECHROAD WINNIE, 2/1 (19) I AM SPIDER MAN, and 10/1 (2) LA HACIENDA cannot be counted out. The reserves, Return Of The Sea and Bit Below Form, may also be worth considering if they make it into the race. Overall, it is a very competitive field and any of these horses could surprise with a strong performance.

LA HACIENDA's hurdles' form is poor but is a capable flat handicapper. She pulled up on her only previous handicap hurdle run at Kilbeggan in April 2022 but subsequently improved her flat rating to 86, winning useful handicaps at Leopardstown, Galway and Killarney and likes easy ground. Sunwalk was last rated 72 on the flat and while also beaten long distances over hurdles thus far, drops markedly in grade on handicap hurdle debut. Andstand has proven handicap hurdles form and while well held at Tramore, is now tried in first-time blinkers and is suited by soft ground. Bella Union shaped with promise in bumpers but faded at Fairyhouse in February. Ventnor is a 26-race maiden who was well held at Leopardstown. Third reserve I Am Spider Man would be a notable runner having won at Sedgefield last October but would prefer a sound surface.

BELLA UNION has yet to trouble the judge but he showed enough on his penultimate start at Punchestown to suggest that a race of this nature would be within his grasp. If the first-time blinkers have the desired effect, Anstand could be the one to follow the selection home. Battle of Ridgeway may well up his game now pitched into a handicap and he is third choice.

A chance is taken on the fitness after a long absence of LA HACIENDA, who is potentially verry well-handicapped back hurdling

This could go the way of previous C&D winner ANIFICAS BEAUTY, who kept on well to win over 6f at this track on her latest outing. She has to shoulder a 5lb penalty for that success, but Harry Davies negates most of that rise with his 3lb claim and she must be respected with that in mind. Monaadhil scored over C&D last month and can give the selection most to think about off 2lb higher. Triggered completes the shortlist.

ANIFICAS BEAUTY looked better than ever when scoring over C&D on her return from a break, and arguably surpassed that when following up off 6 lb higher back here over 6f a week ago. She is taken to complete the hat-trick with Harry Davies booked. Gary Moore's charge may have most to fear from Monaadhil, who enhanced his good record here when striking over C&D last month. Triggered should also be on the premises but this drop back in trip may not be ideal for Mr Marvlos.

He didn't really settle in blinkers last time but RHUBARB BIKINI still looks well handicapped after his win in a visor two starts ago.

3.5/1 (5) IT JUST TAKES TIME is the most likely to do well based on the summary. 6.5/1 (8) BABA REZA and 1.63/1 (4) INDIAN CREAK could also be in contention for 2nd and 3rd place.

INDIAN CREAK struck by three and a half lengths at Windsor last week, for which he has a 5lb penalty. The six-year-old is 2lb well-in, though, and scored off this mark last summer, which shows he could still be feasibly treated. The main danger might be Snash, who is more than capable at this level and should be considered with C&D form to his name from June last year. It Just Takes Time completes the shortlist.

With his reappearance behind him, INDIAN CREAK bounced back to form when making all in good style at Windsor 10 days ago and he can follow up under a penalty. It Just Takes Time thrived last year and is respected as he goes back up to 6f, while Baba Reza could show more with cheekpieces on first time.

With form and peak fitness doubts surrounding a few of these this might be a good opportunity for INDIAN CREAK to strike again.

19:48 Clonmel Handicap Hurdle 19f 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 do well and potentially finish in the top three are as follows: 1. 6/1 (9) LUCKY ZEBO - recent Kilbeggan winner and in good form with a career-best win. Trainer is also going well. 2. 3/1 (10) STILYKER - Tramore winner last June and performed well in their last run, winning a 13-runner handicap hurdle. Could go close. 3. 8/1 (5) SOLITARY MAN - one of the least exposed horses in the race, entering handicap company. Should progress and could potentially surprise. Reserve horses that could potentially do well if they get a run are 7/1 (18) EARLY ARRIVAL and 16/1 (19) YOUNG DARLEEN.

STILYKER reappears following another long layoff but looks well handicapped. He improved to win for Willie Mullins last June and while scoring by just a neck, the runner-up has since improved his rating by 24lb. His winning rider Paul Townend is in America for the Iroquois Hurdle and soft ground isn't ideal, but Stilyker will be ready on reappearance. Near-neighbour Criminal Mischief, a chasing type, won an ordinary course maiden in March and while he ran satisfactorily on handicap debut at Tramore (finished ahead of Tramore-specialist Craic Eile), might struggle to beat an on-song selection. Lucky Zebo's maiden hurdle form was unexciting and is 8lb higher than when winning at Kilbeggan but should get involved. Bumper winner Ballycashin makes her handicap debut following a break while Solitary Man steps up in trip on handicap debut. Clairmc has bits of form but is a 12-race maiden.

The one who appeals most is STILYKER, who got off the mark on his first start for Willie Mullins at Tramore when last seen 11 months ago. That success was gained on the back of a similar absence to that which he is returning from here, so lack of a recent run is no great concern. Solitary Man appears to have been brought along steadily with handicaps in mind and is interesting now pitched into one, while Lucky Zebo, who opened his account at Kilbeggan 3 weeks ago, also enters calculations.

Preference is for recent Kilbeggan winner LUCKY ZEBO, providing the ground doesn't worsen too much

Denied by a fairly narrow margin at Nottingham last week, TEMPERED SOUL gets the vote on his return to the all-weather. He finished a creditable fourth over a mile at Kempton on his racecourse bow in March, and the fact he been given a speculative entry for the King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot must warrant a lot of respect. Sir Raj is feared most on his Polytrack bow, while Out Rule is another to consider.

This is essentially a match between SIR RAJ and Tempered Soul, with preference for the former who made an encouraging start to his career at Nottingham and promises to be suited by this step up in trip. Out Rule is best of the rest.

Sir Raj made a promising debut but preference for TEMPERED SOUL, who has more ballast in his form.

Based on the summary provided, it is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well. However, from the descriptions given, 1.1/1 (1) SPARKS FLY seems to be in good form, having won two races at Windsor recently, and is likely to complete a hat-trick. 3/1 (3) YEOMAN is also described as a promising and capable horse, having won his handicap debut on AW 16 days ago and likely to perform well on turf. As for the third place, it is difficult to predict, but 14/1 (6) VALSTAR may have a chance based on the creditable second place finish in the recent Doncaster race.

SPARKS FLY has been a revelation since switched to the turf and the hat-trick looks very much on the cards following a pair of comfortable victories at Windsor. The daughter of Muhaarar should have too much for Yeoman, who got off the mark on his handicap debut at Wolverhampton last month. An eyecatcher on his first run for Michael Dods at Beverley, Hale End cannot be ruled out either.

SPARKS FLY has looked a different proposition since upped in trip and switched to turf. She should take the beating here. Hale End made a good start for his new yard at Beverley last month and is feared most.

David Loughnane's SPARKS FLY (nap) has relished the mud when scoring twice at Windsor this spring and looks good for a quick hat-trick.

Based on the summary, 1/1 (9) OLD GROUND seems like the strongest contender for first place as a well-bred newcomer with a good debut opportunity. 3.5/1 (10) SILVER LARK and 16/1 (5) JIMMYIES DREAM could be contenders for second and third place, respectively. However, as with all horse races, factors such as current form, jockey performance, and track conditions can greatly affect the outcome, so it ultimately remains unpredictable.

OLD GROUND has an excellent pedigree and represents the champion trainer. All six of her siblings to-have-raced have won and each has shown smart form, including half-sister and top class racemare Colreevy, herself a Grade 1 bumper winner. Silver Lark has form and while she disappointed at Down Royal in March, beat a subsequent Kilbeggan winner into third at Thurles in February. Little Green Lady is out of a nicely related bumper winning mare while John Gleeson is a notable booking for Jimmyies Dream, a sister to four-timer winner Happy Jacky, but who makes a belated debut aged six. Midnight Fairy is out of a hurdle-winning dam.

OLD GROUND is related to six winners and in top hands, so she's worth chancing first time out in what doesn't look a particularly strong bumper. Silver Lark is the best of those with experience in this sphere and ranks as the main danger.

This looks a good opportunity for the well-bred OLD GROUND to make a winning debut

20:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, it is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will finish in the top three. However, some contenders based on recent form and past performance include: 1st place: 2/1 (6) KENTUCKY KINGDOM - has been consistently performing well over C&D, with three-time wins and a recent creditable second in a handicap race. 2nd place: 3.5/1 (1) JENSON BENSON - with a good record at Chelmsford and a recent third place finish, 3.5/1 (1) JENSON BENSON could be a strong contender in this race. 3rd place: 4/1 (3) SEMSER - although finishing fourth in a recent race, 4/1 (3) SEMSER's past win over C&D and lowered handicap weight could lead to a decent performance in this race.

KENTUCKY KINGDOM has filled the runner-up spot the last twice over C&D and has been raised just 2lb for those efforts, which still leaves him 2lb lower than his last winning mark back in February last year. Therefore, the son of Camacho is still feasibly treated and can go close once more. The main threat could be Jenson Benson, who steps back up to this distance after finishing third over 7f last time and could have a say, along with C&D winner Star From Afarhh.

KENTUCKY KINGDOM has gone close over this C&D the last twice and the 7-y-o is taken to notch a fourth success at this course. Second choice is Semser, who scored over this C&D off a 1 lb higher mark on his sole previous visit here last summer. Jenson Benson and Roscioli can do battle for minor honours.

Course specialists JENSON BENSON and Kentucky Kingdom may well come to the fore again.

20:45 Thirsk Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

1st - 3/1 (10) EY UP ITS JAZZ 2nd - 3.5/1 (6) BOLD TERRITORIES 3rd - 12/1 (8) ELLADORA

The Michael Dods stable is beginning to click into gear and BOLD TERRITORIES must hold every chance after a solid return effort at Redcar last month. The five-year-old remains on a feasible mark and he gets the vote ahead of stablemate Sezaam and Ey Up Its Jazz, who was a taking winner at Leicester last time out. Veteran C&D winner Magical Effect and Josiebond are expected to be thereabouts as well.

BOLD TERRITORIES won 3 times last season and made the frame at Redcar on his return, so narrowly gets the vedict here with the benefit of race fitness. Ey Up Its Jazz has made a positive start to life for his now yard and should go close to following up his recent Leicester success, with Elladora and Josiebond others with solid place claims.

The one who appeals most is BOLD TERRITORIES, who ran a pleasing first race back when fourth behind race-fit opposition at Redcar.

21:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary provided, it is difficult to accurately predict which horse will finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. However, the horses that are mentioned as having strong claims and entering calculations are 1.75/1 (3) EGOISTE, 16/1 (7) GLOBAL STYLE, 5.5/1 (8) BOLD AND LOYAL, 11/1 (1) ALICE KITTY, and 5/1 (6) CAPTAIN PUGWASH. 6/1 (2) VILLALOBOS and 16/1 (4) ROARING RIVER are mentioned as having been held off this mark and not being in the same form, while 10/1 (5) STAR OF ST LOUIS is not seen as posing a serious threat to the principals. Therefore, 1.75/1 (3) EGOISTE, 16/1 (7) GLOBAL STYLE, and 5.5/1 (8) BOLD AND LOYAL may be the horses to watch for potentially finishing in the top three.

A chance can be taken on EGOISTE, who showed improved form last time at Southwell when fifth in a first-time hood returning from a wind operation for the David Menuisier stable. The four-year-old could take another step forward, as he steps back up in distance and has Harry Davies on board claiming 3lb to aid his chances. Captain Pugwash remains on the same mark after his recent third at Wolverhampton, while Alice Kitty appears best of the remainder.

EGOISTE was returning from 9 months off (had wind operation since last seen) when an encouraging fifth at Southwell and remains low mileage. He makes fair appeal. Captain Pugwash and Alice Kitty can also make their presence felt.

The most interesting one is unexposed 4yo EGOISTE, who made a very encouraging seasonal debut over 1m at Southwell last month.
