2.5
2.5/1(-11%)
(2) Calcutta Dream 2.5/1, Off 7 months and much improved when opening his account in 11-runner handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 23 days ago. Up 5 lb but runner-up has gone in since, so he's a big player.

(1) Han Solo Berger 12/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2020. 28/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm) 31 days ago, slowly away. Has enough to prove at present.

5.5
5.5/1(+45%)
(5) Saatty 5.5/1, C&D winner. Last of 7 in handicap (20/1) at Pontefract (5f, good) 10 days ago. First-time blinkers need to spark a revival.

3
3/1(-9%)
(2) Just That Lord 3/1, Fourth of 6 in handicap (15/2) at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Dropping in the weights this year but without looking like taking advantage.

16

(1) Dare To Hope 0.83/1, Promising debut winner of 8-runner minor event at Nottingham (5f, good to firm, 7/2) 61 days ago, very strong at the finish. Will be suited by this extra furlong, and he holds leading claims.

3.33
3.33/1(+39%)
(4) Montelusa 3.33/1, Fair maiden. 6/1, creditable third of 6 in maiden at Hamilton (5f, good) 22 days ago. In the picture.

12/1(+0%)
(7) Patricia Grey 12/1, Foaled February 22. €15,000 yearling, Havana Grey filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful winner up to 1¼m Kings Gift and useful 5f/6f winner Queens Gift. Dam 11f winner. Appeals on breeding but market can guide.

6th (2) (6/1 +29%) Felix Natalis
6
6/1(+29%)
(2) Felix Natalis 6/1, Foaled April 26. €3,500 foal, €20,000 yearling, Harry Angel colt. Dam unraced, out of useful 7f/1m winner Vista Bella. Not without interest on paper. Much respected.

16
16/1(+0%)
(3) Gethiptothetrip 16/1, Fourth of 10 in minor event at Carlisle (5.8f, good, 50/1) on debut 21 days ago. More is needed now.

14:15 Ripon Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(8) The Ridler 50/1, Progressive Brazen Beau colt who won 5f Ripon novice last month. Good third at Beverley 3 weeks ago, finishing well, but needs another big step forward to feature in this.
10
2nd (10) (1.75/1 +13%) Walbank
1.75
1.75/1(+13%)
(10) Walbank 1.75/1, 525,000 gns Breeze Up purchase, by Kodiac. Promising start in hot C&D novice before taking a big step forward as he easily won 5f 4-runner York event, storming clear. Smart prospect.
3
3rd (3) (7/1 +42%) Crispy Cat
7
7/1(+42%)
(3) Crispy Cat 7/1, £105,000 gns Ardad colt. Another useful juvenile for owners who made a successful debut at Cork (5f) in April. Edged out by Blackbeard at the Curragh next time and went close in the National Stakes also 3 weeks ago. Others might be open to more improvement now.
2
4th (2) (6/1 +14%) Brave Nation
6
6/1(+14%)
(2) Brave Nation 6/1, 57,000 gns Sioux Nation colt. 2/1, made all in good style in 5f Doncaster maiden on debut 7 weeks ago. Should have plenty more to offer.

9
9/1(+18%)
(1) Bakeel 9/1, €77,000 Sioux Nation colt. 15/2, perfect start in 5-runner C&D novice 7 weeks ago, looking a useful prospect as he went clear over 1f out. More to come.

7
7/1(+0%)
(11) Pillow Talk 7/1, 80,000 gns Kodiac filly. Shaped really well on debut at Nottingham before impressively winning 5f York listed fillies' event 5 weeks ago. More to come.
7
7th (7) (4/1 -14%) The Antarctic
4
4/1(-14%)
(7) The Antarctic 4/1, 750,000 gns Dark Angel colt. Has made the perfect start with victories in 5f events at Tipperary and Naas. More in the locker and big run surely on the way from this full brother to the mighty sprinter Battaash.
9
8th (9) (28/1 -12%) Thunder Moor
28
28/1(-12%)
(9) Thunder Moor 28/1, Dandy Man colt. Much improved from debut (well backed, proved far too green) when winning 5f York novice 5 weeks ago with a bit in hand. Should have more to come again.
6
9th (6) (25/1 +24%) Redemption Time
25
25/1(+24%)
(6) Redemption Time 25/1, £220,000 Harry Angel colt. Chased home Walbank here on second start and improved slightly when landing thin 5f Bath contest in first-time tongue tie a fortnight ago. Should have more to offer again.
4
10th (4) (125/1 -150%) Jungle Fever
125
125/1(-150%)
(4) Jungle Fever 125/1, €85,000 Bungle Inthejungle colt. Much improved from his debut when winning 5.3f Brighton maiden last month, far more professional than most and never looking like getting caught. Open to further progress but this is a big step up in class.
LTO Selection:
14:30 Royal Ascot Group 2 (Class 1) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
(3) Atlantis Blue 2.25/1, Fair filly. Off 5 months, 9/2, ran well when second of 5 in maiden at this C&D 49 days ago, though hung right. Can make her presence felt.
7
1st (7) (6/1 +40%) Tahasun
6
6/1(+40%)
(7) Tahasun 6/1, Fair filly. 10/1, fourth of 8 in minor event at Leicester (11.8f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Vulnerable to the less-exposed types in the line-up.
10
2nd (10) (66/1 -65%) Whimsy
66
66/1(-65%)
(10) Whimsy 66/1, Twice-raced filly. 14/1, eleventh of 14 in minor event at Kempton (8f). Off 6 months. Up in trip. Bred to stay well so looks more one for the longer term.
6
3rd (6) (1.62/1 +19%) Oblong Song
1.62
1.62/1(+19%)
(6) Oblong Song 1.62/1, Thrice-raced filly. Off 6 months, not ideally placed when sixth of 12 in minor event (10/3) at Sandown (10f, good) 55 days ago. Can get off the mark.
4
4th (4) (5.5/1 -10%) Fine China
5.5
5.5/1(-10%)
(4) Fine China 5.5/1, Mastercraftsman filly. Dam, 2-y-o 1m winner, sister to smart winner up to 1½m Madame Chiang out of useful 1¼m-11.7f winner (stayed 1¾m) Robe Chinoise. Makes plenty of appeal on paper.
9
5th (9) (14/1 +13%) Proud Fairy
14
14/1(+13%)
(9) Proud Fairy 14/1, Twice-raced filly. Fifth of 11 in minor event at Newmarket (7f, good, 125/1). Off 9 months. Significantly up in trip. Others preferred.

200
200/1(-100%)
(2) Zyra's Lioness 200/1, Twice-raced filly on Flat. Last of 10 in maiden at Newbury (12f, good to soft, 200/1) 16 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time.

18
18/1(-125%)
(5) Maha Dewi 18/1, €29,500 yearling, Highland Reel filly. Half-sister to useful winner up to 6f Gold Filigree. Dam, 2-y-o 5f winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 9.2f Emerald Commander. Interesting newcomer for connections.
LTO Selection:
14:40 Chelmsford Maiden (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(5) Cobra Kai 1.88/1, 3/1, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 19 days ago, conceding first run. Has to be taken seriously.
1
2nd (1) (3/1 +0%) Selfish Brian
3
3/1(+0%)
(1) Selfish Brian 3/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 12/1) 22 days ago. Not one to write off just yet.
4
3rd (4) (2.75/1 +68%) Ramamaras Boy
2.75
2.75/1(+68%)
(4) Ramamaras Boy 2.75/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Good fourth of 12 in handicap (40/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 22 days ago. Needs to do better but he's still relatively unexposed.
6
4th (6) (40/1 -21%) Thakuri
40
40/1(-21%)
(6) Thakuri 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 66/1, last of 9 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good) 49 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Others make more appeal.
2
5th (2) (16/1 -33%) Audit
16
16/1(-33%)
(2) Audit 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 15/2, bit below form eighth of 13 in handicap at Carlisle (9f, good) 21 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Michael Dods. Difficult ask.
3
6th (3) (11/1 -10%) Jungley
11
11/1(-10%)
(3) Jungley 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 9 in maiden (40/1) at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Bit to prove.
7
7th (7) (7.5/1 +58%) Bobby Dalton
7.5
7.5/1(+58%)
(7) Bobby Dalton 7.5/1, Respectable seventh of 13 in handicap (16/1) at Catterick (7f, good) 13 days ago. Improvement required.
LTO Selection:
14:50 Ripon Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
(5) Secret State 4/1, Well-bred colt who is two from three and was well on top at the finish at Nottingham last time. The runner-up has already boosted that form and the step up to this trip should bring about more improvement. Lots to like.
15
2nd (15) (14/1 +13%) Deauville Legend
14
14/1(+13%)
(15) Deauville Legend 14/1, Confirmed previous promise when landing a maiden at Windsor in April, going away at the finish. That form looks solid and he should benefit from the extra distance now handicapping.
3
3rd (3) (5.5/1 +27%) Israr
5.5
5.5/1(+27%)
(3) Israr 5.5/1, Well-bred colt who is still learning but did well to get up close home (from Surrey Mist) in a handicap at Newbury last time. That looks like a strong piece of form and he's open to further improvement, so he's worth chancing.
11
4th (11) (18/1 +36%) Savvy Knight
18
18/1(+36%)
(11) Savvy Knight 18/1, Arrives on a roll having readily landed a hat-trick at Hamilton a fortnight ago and, while this is much more competitive, he had any amount in hand that day, so he's dangerous to dismiss.
9
5th (9) (12/1 +25%) Flying Dolphin
12
12/1(+25%)
(9) Flying Dolphin 12/1, Lightly-raced son of Zoffany who landed a 13-runner maiden comfortably at Gowran in May. More required up in trip for handicap debut.
19
6th (19) (50/1 +0%) Teumessias Fox
50
50/1(+0%)
(19) Teumessias Fox 50/1, Newcastle 10f novice winner who was back on track when runner-up at Salisbury last time. Should be suited by another step up in trip, so can't be discounted.
10
7th (10) (22/1 -10%) Surrey Mist
22
22/1(-10%)
(10) Surrey Mist 22/1, Boasts a progressive profile and had something to spare when doubling his tally in a Kempton novice in March. Good second to Israr in handicap at Newbury since, and a bold showing seems likely up in trip.
7
8th (7) (50/1 +24%) Mr Alan
50
50/1(+24%)
(7) Mr Alan 50/1, Useful colt who comes here on the back of a respectable fifth in a listed race at Goodwood. Others look better treated, though. Cheekpieces go on.
12
9th (12) (8/1 +0%) Newfoundland
8
8/1(+0%)
(12) Newfoundland 8/1, Hasn't had much racing and overcame difficulties to land a 13f maiden at Navan recently. No surprise if he makes a big impact on this handicap debut.
16
10th (16) (33/1 +18%) Inverness
33
33/1(+18%)
(16) Inverness 33/1, Opened his account at the second attempt in Goodwood maiden in September and built on that when sixth in 10f listed event at Epsom last month. Needs to take another step forward here, though.
8
11th (8) (20/1 +0%) Franz Strauss
20
20/1(+0%)
(8) Franz Strauss 20/1, Made a winning debut at Newcastle in December. Wasn't up to the Sandown Classic Trial on return and only respectable third in a novice at Nottingham since. Now in cheekpieces switched to handicaps/up in trip.
17
12th (17) (40/1 +0%) Balhambar
40
40/1(+0%)
(17) Balhambar 40/1, Is improving by the run and, while he only just held on to land a maiden at Chepstow recently, he's very much the sort to benefit from this step up in trip in handicaps, so has claims.
6
13th (6) (28/1 -12%) Schmilsson
28
28/1(-12%)
(6) Schmilsson 28/1, Well-related and upped his game to open his account in ready fashion at Bath in May. This is a much more competitive scenario, but he has the potential to do better still.
4
14th (4) (11/1 +21%) Mandobi
11
11/1(+21%)
(4) Mandobi 11/1, Already useful and had plenty in hand when doubling his tally at Thirsk a month ago. Bred to go on progressing and a well-run race is sure to bring more out of him, so he's on the shortlist.
14
15th (14) (4/1 -14%) Post Impressionist
4
4/1(-14%)
(14) Post Impressionist 4/1, Powered away to open his account at Ayr in April then bumped into an excellent prospect at Newcastle last time out. That form has a strong look to it and he will relish this longer trip, so makes plenty of appeal.
13
16th (13) (28/1 +15%) Achnamara
28
28/1(+15%)
(13) Achnamara 28/1, Progressive colt who scored at Beverley in May and put up a bold showing when second to another improver at Doncaster 12 days ago. Back down in trip now, but worth bearing in mind.
18
17th (18) (28/1 -12%) Vina Sena
28
28/1(-12%)
(18) Vina Sena 28/1, Winner at Dundalk in December. 28/1, very good 1½ lengths second of 13 to Yashin in handicap at Navan (10f, good) 19 days ago. Progressing and interesting up in trip under Spencer.
1
18th (1) (66/1 +0%) Berkshire Rebel
66
66/1(+0%)
(1) Berkshire Rebel 66/1, Successful debut in 1m Goodwood maiden last August but his limitations have seemingly been exposed since, finishing last of 4 in Chester Vase last time. Hard to make a case for in a race this strong now handicapping.
2
19th (2) (14/1 +0%) Yashin
14
14/1(+0%)
(2) Yashin 14/1, Has improved with each run and did well to get up from further back than ideal in a handicap at Navan last time. Strongly-run race and step up in trip should suit, so merits strong consideration.
LTO Selection:
15:05 Royal Ascot Handicap (Class 2) 12f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
(5) Princess Shabnam 10/1, Creditable placed efforts on last 2 starts, only beaten a quarter of a length when third of 5 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, good) 15 days ago. This is bit tougher but she's clearly in good heart.
6
2nd (6) (1.75/1 +30%) Tarhib
1.75
1.75/1(+30%)
(6) Tarhib 1.75/1, Lightly-raced winner. 8/1, fourteenth of 19 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good) on return 47 days ago. Has had a wind op since. Interesting that connections persevere with her and could be worth another chance.
4
3rd (4) (4/1 +38%) Aramis Grey
4
4/1(+38%)
(4) Aramis Grey 4/1, C&D winner has scored at Wolverhampton and Windsor this term. 10/1, too far back to land blow when fifth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 19 days ago. Solid frame claims.
8
4th (8) (33/1 +18%) El Hadeeyah
33
33/1(+18%)
(8) El Hadeeyah 33/1, Shaped as if amiss when last of 6 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 6/1) on return 83 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Patchy enough profile last term and must improve.
3
5th (3) (11/1 +21%) Zim Baby
11
11/1(+21%)
(3) Zim Baby 11/1, Latest win at Windsor in April. 16/1, sixth of 10 in handicap at York (6f, good to firm) 6 days ago. Seemingly in a lull at present and others more persuasive.
7
6th (7) (8/1 +33%) System
8
8/1(+33%)
(7) System 8/1, Listed winner at 2 yrs but is yet to fire this season. Makes polytrack debut.
1
7th (1) (6.5/1 -30%) Chocoya
6.5
6.5/1(-30%)
(1) Chocoya 6.5/1, C&D winner last season before good fourth in Newmarket listed race on final start. Not seen to best effect either start this term and goes back into a handicap from last winning mark.
2
|PU| (2) (7/1 -56%) Tomouh
7
7/1(-56%)
(2) Tomouh 7/1, First past the post but subsequently demoted to second in 9-runner handicap at this course (7f, 16/1) 19 days ago. Not taken lightly from 4 lb higher mark.
LTO Selection:
15:15 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(5) Cosmos Raj 10/1, Course winner. Latest win at Ayr in April. 9/1, ran well again when third of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Up in trip. Expected to be in the mix again.
4
1st (4) (16/1 +20%) Society Red
16
16/1(+20%)
(4) Society Red 16/1, Form was up and down on turf last term but resurgent on all-weather this winter, gaining third victory at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in February. However he's shaped as if amiss on his last couple of outings (latest over C&D) so has a bit to prove all of a sudden.
2
2nd (2) (4/1 -78%) Commonsensical
4
4/1(-78%)
(2) Commonsensical 4/1, 11/2 and blinkered for 1st time, better than ever after 8 months off when winning 6-runner handicap at Chepstow (10f, good to firm) 20 days ago, suited by way race developed. 5 lb rise to contend with but expected to feature once again.
3
3rd (3) (3.33/1 -11%) Urban War
3.33
3.33/1(-11%)
(3) Urban War 3.33/1, Course winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. Returned to form with a career-best effort when second of 7 in handicap at Bath (8f, good to firm, 5/1) 13 days ago, clear of rest. Back up in trip. Gone close several times from higher marks than this so may well feature.
1
4th (1) (0.91/1 +55%) Bollin Joan
0.91
0.91/1(+55%)
(1) Bollin Joan 0.91/1, In the form of her life last month, scoring at York and over C&D. Shaped as if still in good form when fifth in Zetland Gold Cup at Redcar but saw her effort petering out somewhat back up in trip at York 5 days ago. Fancied to be bang there back down to this trip.
LTO Selection:
15:25 Ripon Handicap (Class 3) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(3) Magical Lagoon 2.75/1, Group 3 winner last season who is bred to make a better 3-y-o and showed improved form when narrowly denied in a Navan listed event (10f) on reappearance. That form is working out well and her pedigree suggests there's more to come, especially now upped further in trip.
6
2nd (6) (1.88/1 +16%) Sea Silk Road
1.88
1.88/1(+16%)
(6) Sea Silk Road 1.88/1, Improving Sea The Stars filly who won 1m Nottingham maiden in May with plenty in hand and was suited by step up in trip when following up in Goodwood listed event (9.9f). Looks sure to go on to better things.
1
3rd (1) (6.5/1 +19%) History
6.5
6.5/1(+19%)
(1) History 6.5/1, Off the mark in 1m Gowran maiden in September and improved further to follow up on her first try in Group company at Leopardstown 8 months later. Failed to repeat that effort in Irish 1000 Guineas at the Curragh last time and now steps up significantly in trip.
4
4th (4) (8/1 -14%) Mukaddamah
8
8/1(-14%)
(4) Mukaddamah 8/1, New Approach filly who overcame unfavourable circumstances to make a winning debut at Wolverhampton in January. Useful efforts in defeat since, including when doing her best work at the finish in 10f Newbury listed event last time. Likely to stay 1½m and open to further improvement.
2
5th (2) (4/1 +33%) Life Of Dreams
4
4/1(+33%)
(2) Life Of Dreams 4/1, Dubawi filly out of a Lancashire Oaks/Lillie Langtry winner. Justified market confidence in ready fashion on debut at Newbury and built on that when 5½ lengths second of 5 to Emily Upjohn in Musidora Stakes at York. Will be suited by 1½m and open to further improvement.
5
6th (5) (18/1 +55%) Mystic Wells
18
18/1(+55%)
(5) Mystic Wells 18/1, An improved performer this term, runner-up on reappearance at Windsor before a gritty success at Brighton (backed up by clock). Ran at least as well when close second in listed Oaks Trial at Lingfield (11.6f) last time but more needed at this level.
LTO Selection:
15:40 Royal Ascot Group 2 (Class 1) 12f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
(6) Karibana 6/1, Course winner last season was very good second of 7 in handicap here (7f, 11/4) 9 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Strong claims.
5
2nd (5) (9/1 -125%) Bashosh
9
9/1(-125%)
(5) Bashosh 9/1, Lightly-raced winner. Beaten at short odds all 3 starts in handicaps, looking unsuited by drop back to this trip when fourth of 7 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 11/10), on final start last year. Off 6 months. Interesting that he stays at a mile on return.
9
3rd (9) (7/1 +61%) Wonder Elmossman
7
7/1(+61%)
(9) Wonder Elmossman 7/1, Latest win at Lingfield in April. 8/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Sandown (8f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Holds much better record on AW and could represent a bit of value.
7
4th (7) (5.5/1 +21%) Arthur's Realm
5.5
5.5/1(+21%)
(7) Arthur's Realm 5.5/1, C&D winner. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win here in April. 40/1, creditable eighth of 15 in handicap at Epsom (8.5f, good) 13 days ago but looks high enough in the weights for now.
8
5th (8) (3.33/1 +58%) Dingle
3.33
3.33/1(+58%)
(8) Dingle 3.33/1, Latest win at Lingfield in January. 11/2, last of 5 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good) 48 days ago. Probably needs to find some improvement even if bouncing back to best.
3
6th (3) (6.5/1 +0%) Fox Champion
6.5
6.5/1(+0%)
(3) Fox Champion 6.5/1, Proving expensive to follow, now eighteen runs since last win in 2019. Off 8 months. On a dangerous mark if getting anywhere near his best on return.
1
7th (1) (4.5/1 +0%) Power Of States
4.5
4.5/1(+0%)
(1) Power Of States 4.5/1, 4-time course winner. Good second of 6 in handicap (10/1) at this course (10f) 9 days ago. One to consider.
2
8th (2) (11/1 +21%) Bullace
11
11/1(+21%)
(2) Bullace 11/1, Course winner. Went with little fluency when sixth of 7 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, good to firm, 14/1) 13 days ago, very slowly away. Now has a fair bit to prove.
LTO Selection:
15:50 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(1) Justanotherbottle 5/1, Dual winner in 2021 (including over C&D) who has resumed better than ever this term, leading long way when fourth of 19 in 6f handicap at Newmarket in April. Latest effort in Epsom Dash easily excused (upset in the stalls and very slowly away) so can get back on track.
5
2nd (5) (5/1 -122%) Emperor Spirit
5
5/1(-122%)
(5) Emperor Spirit 5/1, Took a step forward to get off the mark in handicap company on first outing since leaving John & Thady Gosden after 11 months off at Chelmsford City (6f) a fortnight ago, making all and digging deep. Nudged up just 2 lb so impossible to dismiss.
3
3rd (3) (3/1 +0%) Tinto
3
3/1(+0%)
(3) Tinto 3/1, Continued his race-by-race progression to win 9-runner handicap (13/2) at this C&D (good to firm) 15 days ago by 1¾ lengths from Intrinsic Bond, leading 1f out. 5 lb rise may not be enough to prevent the hat-trick.
2
4th (2) (9/1 -29%) Nomadic Empire
9
9/1(-29%)
(2) Nomadic Empire 9/1, Ended 2021 on the up and gelded ahead of unlucky defeat in 5f handicap here on his return. Not at his best on both subsequent starts so needs to get back on track.
6
5th (6) (3.33/1 +52%) Intrinsic Bond
3.33
3.33/1(+52%)
(6) Intrinsic Bond 3.33/1, Ran well from an easing mark when 1¾ lengths second of 9 to Tinto in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 8/1) 15 days ago. Unlikely he will be able to turn the tables with that rival here, though.
7
6th (7) (5.5/1 +50%) Ava Go Joe
5.5
5.5/1(+50%)
(7) Ava Go Joe 5.5/1, Course winner. 2 wins from 4 runs this year, latest here in April. Wasn't disgraced back up in trip when seventh of 21 in handicap at York (6f, good, 18/1) 25 days ago. More needed.
4
7th (4) (12/1 -20%) Zargun
12
12/1(-20%)
(4) Zargun 12/1, Ran a cracker back up in trip when second of 21 in 6f York handicap last month but not quite in same form on both subsequent starts, racing closer to the pace than ideal at Epsom on latest. Mark eases a shade but others look stronger.
LTO Selection:
16:00 Ripon Handicap (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
(5) Kyprios 1.62/1, His rout in the Group 3 Levmoss at Leopardstown (1¾m) last month marks him down as the emerging force in the staying ranks. His pedigree strongly suggests this marathon trip will be within range and he should make a bold bid to provide his trainer with a record-extending eighth win in this.
6
2nd (6) (7.5/1 +58%) Mojo Star
7.5
7.5/1(+58%)
(6) Mojo Star 7.5/1, Very smart colt who was runner-up in the Derby and St Leger last year. Wasn't at his best in the Arc on final start but he remains a top staying prospect. Comes here without a prep run, though.
3
3rd (3) (2/1 +33%) Stradivarius
2
2/1(+33%)
(3) Stradivarius 2/1, Defeat when bidding for a fourth win in this race 12 months ago signalled the end of his domination of this division (also behind Trueshan final 2 starts) but a third win in the Yorkshire Cup on his reappearance last month shows this 8-y-o is still one of the very best stayers around.
9
4th (9) (18/1 +28%) Burning Victory
18
18/1(+28%)
(9) Burning Victory 18/1, Produced a very smart handicap performance when second to Buzz (pair long way clear) in last year's Cesarewitch at Newmarket (2¼m). Also won a Grade 3 hurdle in February but latest Punchestown fourth in that sphere only respectable. Others preferred.
7
5th (7) (25/1 +0%) Tashkhan
25
25/1(+0%)
(7) Tashkhan 25/1, Big improver for this yard last year, culminating with excellent 1½ lengths second (Stradivarius third) to Trueshan in Long Distance Cup here in November. Stradivarius took his revenge in the Yorkshire Cup but he performed with credit in third and this step up to 2½m should be right up his street.
10
6th (10) (6.5/1 +13%) Princess Zoe
6.5
6.5/1(+13%)
(10) Princess Zoe 6.5/1, 2020 Cadran winner who was an excellent second to Subjectivist in this 12 months ago. Warmed up for this year's renewal by taking the Sagaro here (2m) in April. Likely to give another good account of herself.
8
7th (8) (33/1 +34%) Bubble Smart
33
33/1(+34%)
(8) Bubble Smart 33/1, Smart stayer but behind Trueshan and Stradivarius in Cadran at Longchamp last autumn. Her 2 efforts this year have been no more than respectable and it's hard to believe she won't find a few too strong.
1
8th (1) (100/1 -25%) Alignak
100
100/1(-25%)
(1) Alignak 100/1, Some creditable efforts in defeat in Dubai at the start of the year but got to go back to autumn 2020 for the last time he tasted success and major surprise were he to snap that losing sequence here.
2
9th (2) (40/1 +39%) Earlofthecotswolds
40
40/1(+39%)
(2) Earlofthecotswolds 40/1, Useful hurdler who has translated all that ability to the Flat, completing an AW hat-trick when landing a valuable 2m conditions event at Newcastle on Good Friday. Longer trip will suit now switching to the turf but he'll need a good bit more to come out on top.
LTO Selection:
16:20 Royal Ascot Group 1 (Class 1) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
(4) Mukha Magic 5/1, Latest win at Yarmouth in May. Backed up that effort when fourth of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (14f, good, 15/2) 15 days ago. Tongue strap reapplied. Remains on a workable mark on the all-weather.
1
2nd (1) (9/1 +25%) Trinity Girl
9
9/1(+25%)
(1) Trinity Girl 9/1, C&D winner. 2 wins from 6 runs this year, latest win here (14f) in February. Below form since, tenth of 13 in handicap at Newbury (12f, good to soft, 22/1) 16 days ago. Significantly back up in trip.
2
3rd (2) (3.33/1 +0%) Man Of Riddles
3.33
3.33/1(+0%)
(2) Man Of Riddles 3.33/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this year, latest success at Wolverhampton in April. 11/2, below form when fourth of 7 in handicap at this course (13.3f) 28 days ago. Could do better back up in distance.
5
4th (5) (2.25/1 -29%) Autonomy
2.25
2.25/1(-29%)
(5) Autonomy 2.25/1, 3 wins from 7 runs this year. 15/8, continued progress when completed hat-trick in 4-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (14f) 24 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Can score again upped further in trip.
3
5th (3) (2.5/1 +29%) Doublethetrouble
2.5
2.5/1(+29%)
(3) Doublethetrouble 2.5/1, 16/1, ran creditably back on the Flat when seventh of 10 in handicap at Nottingham (16f, good to firm) 30 days ago. Visor reapplied. Can give his running again returned to all-weather.
LTO Selection:
16:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(7) Absolute Dream 8/1, 6/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at Redcar (6f, good to soft) 17 days ago, badly hampered and run best excused. Reappearance was creditable, so he's one to bear in mind.
9
2nd (9) (5.5/1 -22%) Round The Island
5.5
5.5/1(-22%)
(9) Round The Island 5.5/1, Unreliable sort. C&D winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2020. 11/1, creditable second of 13 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good) 10 days ago. Likely to be on the premises.
3
3rd (3) (4.5/1 +0%) Highjacked
4.5
4.5/1(+0%)
(3) Highjacked 4.5/1, Respectable third of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 11/1) 23 days ago, never nearer. One to be interested in from a fair mark, acknowledging he'll need a strong pace.
8
4th (8) (2.75/1 +8%) Gullane One
2.75
2.75/1(+8%)
(8) Gullane One 2.75/1, 10/3, didn't need to improve to win 12-runner handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 22 days ago, always holding on. Still well treated on best form and good shout again.
1
5th (1) (20/1 -67%) Morty
20
20/1(-67%)
(1) Morty 20/1, Course winner. Fourth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW, 16/5) 10 days ago. Others make more appeal.
4
6th (4) (5/1 +38%) Blackjack
5
5/1(+38%)
(4) Blackjack 5/1, Below form eleventh of 18 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm, 12/1) 12 days ago, not clear run. Not one to completely write off.
2
7th (2) (10/1 +9%) Coley's Koko
10
10/1(+9%)
(2) Coley's Koko 10/1, Course winner. 18/1, bit below form sixth of 12 in handicap at Catterick (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Not easy to make a case for.
11
8th (11) (12/1 +25%) Country Charm
12
12/1(+25%)
(11) Country Charm 12/1, One win from 21 Flat runs. Nineteen runs since last win in 2020. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap (9/2) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 24 days ago. Not discounted.
6
9th (6) (28/1 -40%) Tromso
28
28/1(-40%)
(6) Tromso 28/1, Seventh of 14 in handicap at Redcar (6f, good to soft, 33/1) 17 days ago, hampered. Others are more persuasive.
10
10th (10) (18/1 -100%) Tom Tulliver
18
18/1(-100%)
(10) Tom Tulliver 18/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. 7/4, sixth of 8 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 22 days ago, caught wide. Not one to write off.
LTO Selection:
16:40 Ripon Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
(1) Main Target 6/1, Tongue strap on for first time when fifth of 6 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good) 34 days ago, slowly away. Cheekpieces now on down in grade.
4
2nd (4) (3.5/1 +13%) Kath's Toyboy
3.5
3.5/1(+13%)
(4) Kath's Toyboy 3.5/1, One win from 22 Flat runs. Visored for 1st time, creditable second of 6 in handicap at Brighton (6f, good to firm, 13/8) 2 days ago, outbattled.
2
3rd (2) (2.75/1 +21%) May Remain
2.75
2.75/1(+21%)
(2) May Remain 2.75/1, Came close to snapping a lengthy losing run at Brighton on Tuesday but hat isn't form to get carried away with.
5
4th (5) (2.75/1 -38%) Tahani
2.75
2.75/1(-38%)
(5) Tahani 2.75/1, Improved form when winning 7-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 14 days ago, digging deep. Cheekpieces on first time and limit unlikely to have been reached.
6
5th (6) (5/1 -11%) Bungledupinblue
5
5/1(-11%)
(6) Bungledupinblue 5/1, Cashed in on a falling mark in 12-runner handicap at this C&D 37 days ago, kept up to work. Up 5 lb in a deeper band of race but she still needs considering.
3
6th (3) (20/1 +0%) Dillydingdillydong
20
20/1(+0%)
(3) Dillydingdillydong 20/1, Eighth of 11 in handicap (14/1) at Brighton (7f, good) 30 days ago. Tumbling in the weights but hard to warn to at present.
LTO Selection:
16:50 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
(26) Thesis 14/1, Already expensive to follow after 4 defeats, fitted with a tongue tie when failing to land the odds for the second time at Doncaster 12 days ago. Well bred and in good hands and chance tempo of this race will suit him more on handicap debut.
8
2nd (8) (12/1 +0%) Saga
12
12/1(+0%)
(8) Saga 12/1, Won 7f course maiden in September on final 2-y-o start. Excellent return to action when second in a minor race at Kempton but was most disappointing back here on handicap debut last month. Back up in trip with headgear on.
30
3rd (30) (20/1 +29%) Jimi Hendrix
20
20/1(+29%)
(30) Jimi Hendrix 20/1, Doncaster maiden winner in the autumn who still looked rough around the edges despite winning on handicap bow at Haydock 3 weeks ago. That isn't form to get excited by but he's unexposed over 1m.
6
4th (6) (6/1 +0%) Whoputfiftyinyou
6
6/1(+0%)
(6) Whoputfiftyinyou 6/1, Faultless start to his career, improving another chunk for win number 4 in the Silver Bowl at Haydock a month ago. Strong at the finish all starts and no reason to think his limit has been reached.
28
5th (28) (40/1 +0%) Lawful Command
40
40/1(+0%)
(28) Lawful Command 40/1, Bagged a couple of nurseries last season and already on that mark in 2022, ridden prominently and finding plenty for pressure on each occasion. Likeable type but dominating this field is a different undertaking.
23
6th (23) (7/1 +0%) Wanees
7
7/1(+0%)
(23) Wanees 7/1, 325,000 gns Le Havre colt who won 7f novices here and at Salisbury last September. Hooded and looked well served by 1m when completing hat-trick on reappearance at Sandown and sure to go on to better things.
10
7th (10) (66/1 -100%) Fiach Mchugh
66
66/1(-100%)
(10) Fiach Mchugh 66/1, Has left 2-y-o form trailing in his wake this spring, making a winning reappearance at Dundalk before doubling tally in handicap company at the Curragh a month ago. Type to excel in a big-field handicap.
19
8th (19) (22/1 -22%) Yonafis
22
22/1(-22%)
(19) Yonafis 22/1, Has raced on the AW so far and remains unbeaten, workmanlike when making successful handicap debut upped to 8.7f last month. Well bred and in top hands so demands respect switched to turf.
9
9th (9) (80/1 -14%) Ribhi
80
80/1(-14%)
(9) Ribhi 80/1, Pair of 6f Salisbury novice wins last year but is in danger of becoming disappointing as a 3-y-o, brushed aside in listed company at Newbury last month. Gelded and other hopes rest on step up in trip, which is far from certain to suit.
17
10th (17) (18/1 -50%) Koy Koy
18
18/1(-50%)
(17) Koy Koy 18/1, Well on top when making final 2-y-o start a winning one at Newbury and shaped very well on return when second at Chester (7.6f) last month. Unfurnished colt with scope to rate higher.
16
11th (16) (11/1 -10%) Amortentia
11
11/1(-10%)
(16) Amortentia 11/1, Left juvenile form behind when a comfortable winner on reappearance/handicap debut at Naas last month (1m). In good hands and possesses plenty of scope to improve.
29
12th (29) (50/1 -52%) Kitsune Power
50
50/1(-52%)
(29) Kitsune Power 50/1, Expensive buy as a yearling and improved for a gelding operation prior to his 3-y-o campaign, winning handicaps at Leicester and Nottingham. Up 7 lb but in top hands and likely to go on improving,
20
13th (20) (14/1 +13%) Atrium
14
14/1(+13%)
(20) Atrium 14/1, Novice/nursery winner as a juvenile over 7f and looked well at home over this C&D when a taking winner last month. Up 7 lb but demands of this race will clearly suit.
25
14th (25) (25/1 +75%) Blenheim Boy
25
25/1(+75%)
(25) Blenheim Boy 25/1, Picked up where he left off during the autumn when an easy winner of a 1m heavy-ground handicap at Ripon in April. Was brushed aside pretty readily from 10 lb higher at York, though.
11
15th (11) (200/1 -100%) Claim The Crown
200
200/1(-100%)
(11) Claim The Crown 200/1, Confirmed debut promise when landing a 1m Chelmsford novice last summer. Excelled himself in a French Group 3 a month later but reappearance/handicap debut over 7f here wasn't brimming with promise.
1
16th (1) (125/1 -56%) Power Of Beauty
125
125/1(-56%)
(1) Power Of Beauty 125/1, Won 7f events at Wolverhampton and Yarmouth before taking a huge step forward when second to Albahr in 1m Sandown listed contest in August. Gelded ahead of reappearance in the Free Handicap and while that run wasn't full of promise, he should step up on that. Cheekpieces/tongue tie reached for.
18
17th (18) (4/1 +27%) King Of Time
4
4/1(+27%)
(18) King Of Time 4/1, Dual-AW winner who looked potentially smart when outclassing 5 rivals switched to turf at Newmarket in April (overcame trouble in running). That performance was backed up by the clock and a 7 lb rise may totally underestimate him.
13
18th (13) (40/1 -21%) Spinaround
40
40/1(-21%)
(13) Spinaround 40/1, Newmarket maiden winner last autumn and progressive form in handicaps in 2022, scoring with a bit in hand at Chelmsford a fortnight ago. Up 6 lb in a deeper race but he's a likeable type.
22
19th (22) (100/1 -52%) Oh Herberts Reign
100
100/1(-52%)
(22) Oh Herberts Reign 100/1, Three-time winner as a juvenile and just about his best effort yet when fourth upped to 10f at Epsom 12 days ago. Same mark here back in trip and doesn't possess the scope of a few.
5
20th (5) (66/1 -10%) I'm A Gambler
66
66/1(-10%)
(5) I'm A Gambler 66/1, Can call upon plenty of experience for a 3-y-o, adding another two wins to his haul at up to 7.4f this spring. Heavy defeat over 6f at Hamilton and stamina for a straight 1m asks a different question.
7
21st (7) (80/1 +20%) Oneforthegutter
80
80/1(+20%)
(7) Oneforthegutter 80/1, Six-figure breeze-up buy who overcame a tardy start to make a winning debut at Haydock in July. Better form when second in a French Group 3 a month later and best effort since when mid-field on handicap debut at Epsom (10.1f).
15
22nd (15) (150/1 -127%) Sed Maarib
150
150/1(-127%)
(15) Sed Maarib 150/1, Juvenile winner for Roger Varian who was transferred to Bahrain over the winter, failing to win and well held on dirt when last seen in March. Doesn't appear obviously well treated back in Britain.
3
23rd (3) (66/1 +6%) Great Max
66
66/1(+6%)
(3) Great Max 66/1, Highly tried as a juvenile for Michael Bell after making a winning debut at Newbury a year ago. No impact both starts for current yard (at up to 10.1f) and makes his handicap debut with a bit to prove.
24
24th (24) (16/1 +36%) Bolthole
16
16/1(+36%)
(24) Bolthole 16/1, Overcame a pace bias to double tally on second handicap start at Newmarket last month. Well-run 1m won't be an inconvenience and he's one to be positive about.
12
25th (12) (50/1 +0%) Harrow
50
50/1(+0%)
(12) Harrow 50/1, Useful triple winner as a juvenile at up to 7.4f. Pretty exposed due to that intensive campaign and evidence of 4 runs this year suggest his mark looks high. Cheekpieces reached for.
21
26th (21) (66/1 -65%) My Little Tip
66
66/1(-65%)
(21) My Little Tip 66/1, Ended 2-y-o campaign on the up, completing hat-trick of 7f nurseries at Catterick in September. Keenness still an issue with him but he advanced his form when third from a tough draw at Chester latest. Up in trip.
27
27th (27) (66/1 -100%) Barley
66
66/1(-100%)
(27) Barley 66/1, Had a subsequent winner behind when landing a novice at Nottingham in April and progressed again when following up on handicap debut at Doncaster. Willing attitude he showed that day will stand him in good stead.
4
28th (4) (80/1 -21%) Malex
80
80/1(-21%)
(4) Malex 80/1, Bred to be smart and overcame inexperience to make a winning debut at the Curragh in March (7f). Fared about as well as could be expected in listed/Group 1 level over 1m last month and he retains potential as a handicapper.
2
29th (2) (50/1 +24%) Mr Mccann
50
50/1(+24%)
(2) Mr Mccann 50/1, Useful form for third win in what was a very productive juvenile campaign at Epsom in September. Didn't really relish step up to 10.3f in the Dee Stakes then probably did too much too soon in the German 2000 Guineas last time.
14
10th (14) (7/1 +13%) Tranquil Night
7
7/1(+13%)
(14) Tranquil Night 7/1, Progressing at a rate of knots in 2022, supplementing brace of 7f AW wins in dominant fashion on handicap debut back on turf in April. Off since but couldn't be in better hands and has to demand respect.
LTO Selection:
17:00 Royal Ascot Handicap (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
(7) Tricolore 6.5/1, Length third of 5 to Cu Chulainn in handicap (14/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 12 days ago, challenging from furthest back. Good chance on form.

2nd (6) (1.75/1 +47%) Mark Of Respect
1.75
1.75/1(+47%)
(6) Mark Of Respect 1.75/1, 11/4, justified market strength to produce a career best victory in 7-runner handicap at Bath (8f, good to firm) 13 days ago, well on top finish. Up in trip. Can give another good showing from 5 lb higher mark.
3
3rd (3) (4/1 +0%) Sweeping Statement
4
4/1(+0%)
(3) Sweeping Statement 4/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 9/4, first run since leaving John Joseph Murphy when eye-catching sixth of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 48 days ago, not knocked about and finishing with running left. Potential improver on handicap debut.
1
4th (1) (6/1 -50%) Motazzen
6
6/1(-50%)
(1) Motazzen 6/1, First run since leaving Jean-Claude Rouget when respectable fourth of 5 in handicap (3/1) at Sandown (10f, good) on UK debut 6 days ago. Yard in form but he's not obviously well treated on his French efforts.
2
5th (2) (18/1 -29%) Headingley
18
18/1(-29%)
(2) Headingley 18/1, Course winner. Eleventh of 13 in handicap at Wetherby (8f, good, 22/1) 9 days ago. Better on AW but not been at his best for a few runs. Back up in trip. Others more persuasive.
4
6th (4) (12/1 +0%) Dickens
12
12/1(+0%)
(4) Dickens 12/1, Dual winner last term. Found little when last of 10 in handicap at Leicester (8.2f, soft, 6/1) on return 76 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Hood back on. Still unproven at the trip.
5
7th (5) (5/1 -11%) Cu Chulainn
5
5/1(-11%)
(5) Cu Chulainn 5/1, Career best when cosily winning a messy 5-runner handicap (7/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 12 days ago. Remains with potential at this trip from 3 lb higher mark.
LTO Selection:
17:05 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(1) Appier 1.1/1, 3 wins from 4 runs this year. 1/2, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 10 days ago, pushed out. Obvious claims under a penalty.

1.62
1.62/1(+68%)
(6) Marbuzet 1.62/1, Creditable 4¾ lengths third of 9 to Appier in handicap at Beverley (12.1f, good to firm, 9/2) 37 days ago. Still lightly raced and may do better still.

(2) Fat Sam 2/1, Fairly useful chaser, three wins from 8 runs last season. Below-par fifth of 7 in handicap chase at Stratford (19.4f, good to soft) 26 days ago though, so needs to bounce back switched to hurdles.

LTO Selection:
17:25 Ffos Las Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(1) Claymore 7/1, Relatively cheap Breeze-Up purchase who made an impressive start when landing a Newmarket novice with ease last October. Improved on that when runner-up in Craven Stakes there on reappearance and his latest effort in the French 2000 Guineas is easily excused (worst of draw). Solid place claims.
6
2nd (6) (0.4/1 +9%) Reach For The Moon
0.4
0.4/1(+9%)
(6) Reach For The Moon 0.4/1, Highly progressive juvenile who landed Solario Stakes at Sandown before excellent second in the Champagne at Doncaster (7f). Had a setback over the winter, but returned with an encouraging runner-up effort in a listed event at former course last month and he's potentially capable of even better.
4
3rd (4) (16/1 +43%) Kingmax
16
16/1(+43%)
(4) Kingmax 16/1, Showed promise for Roger Varian last year and stepped up markedly when bolting up in a novice at Kempton in March. Improved again when fourth in the Craven and similar form when 8½ lengths fifth to Desert Crown in Dante at York last month. Faces another uphill task.
2
4th (2) (11/1 +8%) Cresta
11
11/1(+8%)
(2) Cresta 11/1, Debut winner last summer who left his reappearance effort well behind sporting a first-time hood (still a shade keen) when runner-up in a listed event at Chester last month. Changed hands for £490,000 earlier this week but needs to take his form up a notch to have a say in proceedings.
5
5th (5) (10/1 -25%) Maksud
10
10/1(-25%)
(5) Maksud 10/1, Golden Horn colt who created a really good impression when landing 13-runner minor event at Windsor (10f) on debut in April. Took a big step forward when a close fourth in listed event at Goodwood since and he's likely to progress further. Interesting.
3
6th (3) (22/1 +12%) Howth
22
22/1(+12%)
(3) Howth 22/1, Made a winning start in handicaps at Killarney last year but failed to really kick on, running as well as could be expected when sixth in Leopardstown 2000 Guineas Trial on reappearance. Cheekpieces applied but he looks up against it.

(8) Royal Tribute 12/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Respectable second of 11 in claimer (17/2) at Sligo (5.8f, good to soft) 30 days ago, clear of rest. Step back up in trip rates a plus.

2nd (5) (22/1 -83%) Castletownshend
22
22/1(-83%)
(5) Castletownshend 22/1, One win from 34 Flat runs. 40/1, sixteenth of 19 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (2m, heavy) in January. Possible this run will be needed on the back of 5 months off.

4
4/1(+0%)
(4) Inishmot Prince 4/1, Landed back-to-back Dundalk handicaps (at 5f) earlier this year. Creditable fifth of 30 in handicap at the Curragh (6.3f, good, 9/2) 15 days ago. Not taken lightly stepping back up in trip.

4th (2) (10/1 -11%) Bonnyrigg
10
10/1(-11%)
(2) Bonnyrigg 10/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. 12/1, nineteenth of 22 in handicap at Cork (7f, soft) 29 days ago. Likely type to bounce back.

5/1(+58%)
(10) Fine Distraction 5/1, Remains a maiden after 26 Flat runs. 14/1, below form tenth of 24 in handicap at Cork (7f, good) 8 days ago. Others make greater appeal.

1.75/1(+22%)
(6) Cleveleys 1.75/1, 13/2, good second of 14 in handicap at Limerick (6.7f, good to firm) 5 days ago, keeping on well final 1f having been shuffled back entering straight. One to be interested in from this sort of mark.

9
9/1(+55%)
(3) Notforalongtime 9/1, Fourteenth of 16 in handicap at Limerick (8f, good, 40/1) 54 days ago. Must improve.

(1) The Blue Panther 16/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 10/1, good fourth of 10 in handicap at this course (7f, good) 7 days ago. Handicapper continues to relinquish his grip if he can build on that here.

50
50/1(-150%)
(7) Laurens Company 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Below form seventh of 13 in maiden (28/1) at Dundalk (1m) in February, not running on. Others make more appeal back from a break.
(5) Captain's Bar 1.75/1, Fair gelding who ran poorly in first-time blinkers at Haydock (6f, good) 26 days ago. Good claims if bouncing back.
3
2nd (3) (6.5/1 -44%) General Sago
6.5
6.5/1(-44%)
(3) General Sago 6.5/1, Fair gelding who went backwards from reappearance when fourth of 6 in seller at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 48 days ago, finding little. Makes polytrack debut. First run for yard after leaving Mike Murphy.

(2) Bowling Russian 1.1/1, Fair gelding. C&D winner who fared better than of late when third in 8-runner handicap (2/1) at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Excellent chance down in grade.

16
16/1(-191%)
(1) Tributo 16/1, Fair gelding who won claimer on debut for present yard at Wolverhampton in May. However, wasn't in the same form back in handicap company here 10 days ago.

80/1(+0%)
(6) Rules Of Order 80/1, Modest gelding who was well below form in 5f handicap at Salisbury (good to firm) 19 days ago. Uphill task.

7
7/1(+18%)
(1) Dindin 7/1, Ex-French winning chaser who took a big step back in the right direction when third of 10 in handicap chase (25/1) at Newton Abbot (16.3f) 6 days ago, doing too much too soon. Needs considering.

(4) Loup De Maulde 7.5/1, In very good form until unseated rider 4th in handicap chase (5/2) at Plumpton (19.8f, good) 60 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Holds solid claims.

8.5/1(-6%)
(5) Joey Steel 8.5/1, Two wins from 5 runs last season. Off 8 months before eye-catching third of 6 in handicap chase at Warwick (20f, good) 22 days ago, finishing well. Very much one to consider with that run under his belt eased 2 lb.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(22) Inver Park 12/1, Acquired for £35,000 by new yard and confirmed promise of opening exploits this spring in landing back-to-back 6f handicaps at Windsor/Hamilton. Remains fairly low mileage and unlikely he's reached his limit just yet. Interesting back up in trip.

(28) Ropey Guest 40/1, Useful gelding who ran well to finish fifth in Victoria Cup in May and far from disgraced when fourth of 7 in a Windsor listed race (6f) 9 days later. Arrives here operating from last winning mark but place claims may be the best he can hope for.
6
3rd (6) (33/1 +0%) Rhoscolyn
33
33/1(+0%)
(6) Rhoscolyn 33/1, Much improved for this yard last year, racking up a hat-trick in handicaps around 7f in early-summer and far from disgraced when ninth in Balmoral Handicap over 1m here final start. Solid efforts on 2 of his 3 starts this campaign and this sort of mark looks workable on balance. Tongue tie goes on.
18
4th (18) (16/1 -14%) Chiefofchiefs
16
16/1(-14%)
(18) Chiefofchiefs 16/1, Regular in big-field handicaps, landing 2020 Wokingham consolation and fourth in the main one 12 months ago. Good third on return at Kempton and not seen to anything like best effect in the Victoria Cup. Rates a live each-way player.
15
5th (15) (3.5/1 +22%) Montassib
3.5
3.5/1(+22%)
(15) Montassib 3.5/1, Winner of sole 2-y-o start who missed 2021 but clearly has plenty of potential, successful on return at Wetherby (7f) in April before readily defying 10 lb lower mark to maintain 100% record in Goodwood handicap (7f) 4 weeks ago. In excellent hands and high on the shortlist.
2
6th (2) (8.5/1 +39%) Tactical
8.5
8.5/1(+39%)
(2) Tactical 8.5/1, Landed Windsor Castle/Newmarket Group 2 as a juvenile and returned with success in Free Handicap at Newmarket last spring. Not disgraced in stronger company thereafter and likely he'll come on for his reappearance spin over 6f in April. This more suitable and he's interesting.
16
7th (16) (28/1 +30%) Snazzy Jazzy
28
28/1(+30%)
(16) Snazzy Jazzy 28/1, Set some stiff tasks over sprint trips last summer and, having slipped in weights he capitalised to end losing run over 6f at Hamilton 2 weeks ago. Only 3 lb higher now but yet to taste success at 7f and this a whole lot more competitive.
8
8th (8) (20/1 +0%) River Nymph
20
20/1(+0%)
(8) River Nymph 20/1, Developing a solid record over this C&D, landing last year's Victoria Cup and better for his return on AW when third behind Vafortino in the latest running in May, albeit well positioned. Can hit the frame again from same mark.
9
9th (9) (50/1 +24%) Documenting
50
50/1(+24%)
(9) Documenting 50/1, Ended last year in excellent form, runner-up in a C&D handicap prior to resuming winning ways on AW in November. Another who likely needed his reappearance spin at York (7f) 26 days ago but this looks a tough enough ask.
26
10th (26) (20/1 +0%) Fastnet Crown
20
20/1(+0%)
(26) Fastnet Crown 20/1, Useful and versatile handicapper who finished third in last year's Irish Cambridgeshire prior to a fifth-place finish in English equivalent. Not disgraced in competitive big-field events this spring and this mark doesn't look beyond him.
7
11th (7) (7/1 +30%) Vafortino
7
7/1(+30%)
(7) Vafortino 7/1, Dual 7f winner for Joseph O'Brien who shaped very well on his return/yard bow at Newcastle in March and confirmed that promise when running out a good winner of the C&D Victoria Cup under today's pilot. 5 lb higher mark shouldn't prevent another bold bid.
4
12th (4) (50/1 -52%) Ejtilaab
50
50/1(-52%)
(4) Ejtilaab 50/1, Smart sprinter who was better than ever when landing a handicap off 105 at Kempton (6f) in March. Not at best when fifth in Group 2 Duke of York Stakes 5 weeks ago and he may find a few too good again back up at this longer trip.
12
13th (12) (10/1 +50%) Star Of Orion
10
10/1(+50%)
(12) Star Of Orion 10/1, Useful handicapper who went close in International Stakes over C&D in July. Mixed bag thereafter but likely he'll come on for his reappearance spin when eighth in last month's Victoria Cup from a single-figure draw. Interesting.
21
14th (21) (33/1 +0%) Fools Rush In
33
33/1(+0%)
(21) Fools Rush In 33/1, Kept busy as a juvenile and improved further as a 3-y-o, winning 4 handicaps at up to 7.6f for Tom Dascombe. Ran with credit both starts for new trainer at Chester of late and whilst highly promising apprentice takes off valuable 5 lb, this assignment does demand that little bit more.
24
15th (24) (100/1 -25%) Pistoletto
100
100/1(-25%)
(24) Pistoletto 100/1, Didn't get home over 2m at Kempton in March but quickly back to winning ways at Lingfield (12f) a month later. Far from disgraced on 2 of last 3 starts on AW but he may just find this too demanding.
17
16th (17) (22/1 +67%) Mums Tipple
22
22/1(+67%)
(17) Mums Tipple 22/1, Very classy at his peak but he ended 2021 under a cloud and whilst he wasn't ideally placed when midfield on return in the Victoria Cup he may well fall short in a race of this nature again.
5
17th (5) (22/1 +12%) Path Of Thunder
22
22/1(+12%)
(5) Path Of Thunder 22/1, Kickstarted 2022 with 1m win at Meydan and remained in form there. Never figured in C&D Victoria Cup but back on track when fourth at York (7f) 26 days ago. Present mark does demand that little bit more.
27
18th (27) (8/1 +43%) Tanmawwy
8
8/1(+43%)
(27) Tanmawwy 8/1, Successful only start at 2 yrs and having missed the whole of 2021 has quickly resumed progress this season, winning handicaps at Windsor/Doncaster (6f), doing plenty of running to get up close home latest. Clearly upwardly mobile and unlikely he's reached his limit. Big player back up in distance.
23
19th (23) (28/1 -40%) Above
28
28/1(-40%)
(23) Above 28/1, Enhanced good AW strike rate when landing a five-runner 6f event at Chelmsford in November. Clearly remains in very good heart, runner-up in 19-runner Newmarket handicap (6f) in April and he's effective over this trip.
19
20th (19) (18/1 +18%) Dance Fever
18
18/1(+18%)
(19) Dance Fever 18/1, Useful 7f winner who ran best race of present campaign when third behind Accidental Agent at Newmarket (7f) in April. Not seen to best effect over C&D in May and foolish to underestimate him from present mark on pick of last season's form.
13
21st (13) (66/1 +0%) Current Option
66
66/1(+0%)
(13) Current Option 66/1, Resumed winning ways from a 7 lb higher mark over this trip at the Galway Festival last summer. Not operating at the same level so far this term, well held in big-field Curragh handicap on latest outing 4 weeks ago.
11
22nd (11) (28/1 -27%) Al Rufaa
28
28/1(-27%)
(11) Al Rufaa 28/1, Most progressive as a 3-y-o, successful 3 times in 7f handicaps. Caught the eye on second of just 3 starts last season and small-field scenario not ideal for one with his style on return at Southwell (7f) in March. Shouldn't be underestimated for powerful yard as a 5-y-o.
29
23rd (29) (66/1 -100%) Soar Above
66
66/1(-100%)
(29) Soar Above 66/1, Multiple AW winner who tasted success on turf last summer and posted another career best when resuming winning ways at Kempton (6f). Good second behind an improver back at that venue (7f) in May but may find this too competitive.
10
24th (10) (50/1 -52%) Spirit Of Light
50
50/1(-52%)
(10) Spirit Of Light 50/1, Useful gelding in the UAE who was another to dispel a lesser effort in the Victoria Cup on yard debut when third over the extended 7f trip at Chester 3 weeks ago, that despite a wide draw. This demands more.
25
25th (25) (40/1 -21%) Total Commitment
40
40/1(-21%)
(25) Total Commitment 40/1, Ran a stormer when fourth in last year's Stewards' Cup and not seen to anything like best effect in Ayr Silver Cup final start. Shaped perfectly well when third on return at Windsor (6f) and the visor is reached for again now.
3
26th (3) (14/1 -65%) Silent Film
14
14/1(-65%)
(3) Silent Film 14/1, Lightly-raced, progressive sort who ended last year with success at Sandown (7f) in June and picked up where he left off to land handicaps at around this trip at Meydan/Sakhir earlier this year. In excellent hands and possible he's not reached his limit yet.
1
27th (1) (50/1 -100%) Oo De Lally
50
50/1(-100%)
(1) Oo De Lally 50/1, Three-time 7f winner in 2021 who built on his Haydock reappearance effort when runner-up over this trip at York in May, pushed along over 2f out and plugging on. However, this demands even more from career-high mark.
14
28th (14) (80/1 -100%) Baradar
80
80/1(-100%)
(14) Baradar 80/1, Two wins from 4 starts as a juvenile but didn't kick on last term for Roger Varian. Respectable enough return/yard debut at Tipperary but easy to back and well held in handicap/listed company subsequently. Plenty more needed in a race so competitive.
20
29th (20) (20/1 +20%) Ouzo
20
20/1(+20%)
(20) Ouzo 20/1, Ran well when fourth in last season's Royal Hunt Cup. Mixed bag thereafter but proved he's still capable of useful form when second of 8 on return/yard debut at Sandown (1m) 3 weeks ago. Up 4 lb on the back of that. Cheekpieces go on.
LTO Selection:
18:10 Royal Ascot Handicap (Class 2) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
(7) Morning Approach 5/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. Very good second of 26 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, good to soft, 25/1) 26 days ago. Not taken lightly.
3
2nd (3) (3.5/1 +30%) Apple Of His Eye
3.5
3.5/1(+30%)
(3) Apple Of His Eye 3.5/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. 9/2, career best when winning 13-runner maiden at Listowel (8f, good) 12 days ago. Going the right way and mark looks pretty fair.
5
3rd (5) (16/1 +60%) San Aer
16
16/1(+60%)
(5) San Aer 16/1, 33/1 and hooded for 1st time, 6 lengths twelfth of 16 to Focus Required in handicap at this C&D (good) 14 days ago, merely closing up late.
1
4th (1) (18/1 +45%) Cold Steel
18
18/1(+45%)
(1) Cold Steel 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 50/1, first run since leaving Mrs J. Harrington when fourteenth of 26 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Not easy to make a case for.
13
5th (13) (9/1 +36%) Tanseeq
9
9/1(+36%)
(13) Tanseeq 9/1, Twenty three runs since last win in 2018. Good fifth of 24 in handicap (20/1) at Cork (7f, good) 8 days ago. Not the most reliable.

8
8/1(-33%)
(9) Focus Required 8/1, Improved on recent efforts to win 16-runner handicap at this C&D (good, 20/1) 14 days ago, well on top finish. Obvious player if he can back that up.
4
7th (4) (14/1 +0%) Oneiroi
14
14/1(+0%)
(4) Oneiroi 14/1, Course winner. 7/1, respectable sixth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (good), doing too much too soon. Off 7 months. Others more persuasive.
12
8th (12) (7.5/1 +25%) Nevada Brave
7.5
7.5/1(+25%)
(12) Nevada Brave 7.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 16/1, creditable 2¾ lengths sixth of 16 to Focus Required in handicap at this C&D (good) 14 days ago, never nearer.
8

22
22/1(+33%)
(8) Silent Performance 22/1, First run since leaving Denis Hogan when 6¼ lengths fifteenth of 16 to Focus Required in handicap (14/1) at this C&D (good) 14 days ago. Others make more appeal.
10
10th (10) (9/1 +0%) Atlas
9
9/1(+0%)
(10) Atlas 9/1, C&D winner. Twenty two runs since last win in 2020. Creditable third of 10 in handicap (11/1) at this course (7f, good) 7 days ago. Merits consideration.
6

7
7/1(-17%)
(6) Big Dream 7/1, Lightly-raced winner. 16/1, creditable 1¾ lengths fourth of 16 to Focus Required in handicap at this C&D (good) 14 days ago. Should give another good account.
11
12th (11) (33/1 +50%) Tostal
33
33/1(+50%)
(11) Tostal 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 50/1, twenty third of 30 in handicap at the Curragh (6.3f, good) 15 days ago. Back up in trip. Something to find on form.
(5) Nigg Bay 6.5/1, Twenty seven runs since last win in 2019. Fifth of 6 in handicap (3/1) at Brighton (6f, good to firm) 2 days ago.
4

2.75
2.75/1(+0%)
(4) Jumira Bridge 2.75/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Creditable second of 9 in classified event at Chelmsford (6f, 9/2) 9 days ago. Has to be taken seriously.
3
3rd (3) (11/1 -69%) King Crimson
11
11/1(-69%)
(3) King Crimson 11/1, Veteran but showed plenty of dash remains when third of 6 in handicap at Brighton (5.3f, good, 10/1) on reappearance 16 days ago. Claims if he can build on that.
7
4th (7) (12/1 -9%) Chocco Star
12
12/1(-9%)
(7) Chocco Star 12/1, Course winner. One win from 22 Flat runs. Thirteen runs since last win in 2020. Ninth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, good, 28/1) 17 days ago. Blinkered first time.

(2) Bernard Spierpoint 3/1, Latest win at Southwell in January. 18/1 and blinkered first time, respectable third of 12 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Visor back on. Can play a part.

4.5
4.5/1(+36%)
(1) Iesha 4.5/1, Last of 10 in handicap at Leicester (5f, good to firm, 12/1) 5 days ago, but he had been in reasonable form on AW prior to that.
6
7th (6) (7/1 +0%) Glen Rosa
7
7/1(+0%)
(6) Glen Rosa 7/1, 12/1 and blinkered first time, bit below form fourth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (5f) when last seen in January. Others more persuasive.

50
50/1(-25%)
(8) Ascot Jungle 50/1, 50/1, last of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford (5f) 42 days ago. Has work to do.

(5) Cresswell Queen 7.5/1, 13/8, respectable third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (27f, good) 44 days ago on her final run for Tristan Davidson. Makes chase debut and she's no forlorn hope.

11
11/1(-29%)
(7) Daenerys Stormborn 11/1, Remains a maiden after 18 NH runs, and below form second of 6 in handicap chase at Stratford (19.4f, good to soft) 32 days ago. Since had a wind op and more needed in first-time visor.

2.75
2.75/1(-129%)
(1) Maliboo 2.75/1, Four hurdle/chase wins from 9 runs last season, improving to win 7-runner handicap hurdle at Hereford (25.5f) 74 days ago. Back chasing and weighted to go in again.

2.75
2.75/1(+39%)
(6) Get An Oscar 2.75/1, Twenty five runs since last win in 2019, but she posted a creditable fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle here (23.9f, good) 19 days ago. Has something to prove back over fences though.

(1) Non Stop 4.5/1, Improved when close second on 7f AW course handicap debut on reappearance. Not in the same form on turf since but may do better back on AW.

2.5
2.5/1(-11%)
(3) Fabrique En France 2.5/1, Has had an up-and-down start to his chasing career and was only workmanlike in scoring at Worcester 12 days ago. Merits respect from just 1 lb higher all the same.

40
40/1(+39%)
(20) The Copper Kid 40/1, Twelfth of 14 in handicap (12/1) at Dundalk (10.7f). Off 7 months with work to do.
(7) Little Prayer 6.5/1, Below par at Wolverhampton (6f) when last seen in March but had been in form with 4 placed efforts prior to that. First-time cheekpieces replace blinkers on return. First outing beyond sprint trips.
8
2nd (8) (25/1 -25%) Mr Stanley
25
25/1(-25%)
(8) Mr Stanley 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Leicester (6f, good to soft) on reappearance14 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Needs more.
10

1
1/1(+43%)
(10) The Covex Kid 1/1, Much improved for this yard, making it 3-3 for the season in 7f Catterick handicap 13 days ago. Well on top at the finish on that occasion so a further 8 lb rise may not stop him with more improvement likely.

14
14/1(-65%)
(9) Take A Stand 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Blinkered first time, fifth of 12 in novice at Wolverhampton (7f) in March. Worth a betting check on handicap debut with yard among the winners.

50
50/1(-52%)
(4) Handel 50/1, Ex-Aidan O'Brien inmate finished runner-up in Wolverhampton novice in January but looks to have gone off the boil since and is hard to fancy on current form.

(2) Global Warning 28/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in January. Below par since but is now 6 lb below that last successful mark. Worth a betting check.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(3) Watergrange Jack 0.67/1, Irish bumper winner has shown fair form over hurdles for this yard, running his best race when second of 10 in Uttoxeter handicap last month. Left on the same mark and the form has been boosted since.

2nd (1) (14/1 -87%) Oxwich Bay
14
14/1(-87%)
(1) Oxwich Bay 14/1, Back to form with a win and 2 seconds over fences this spring but he needs to shrug off a lesser run at Ludlow recently. Last season's hurdle runs were no more than respectable.
5
3rd (5) (33/1 +0%) Searching
33
33/1(+0%)
(5) Searching 33/1, Has rather lost his way since a Market Rasen win in summer 2020. Could only consider if backed on this return from 5 months off.
7
4th (7) (8/1 +56%) Meechlands Magic
8
8/1(+56%)
(7) Meechlands Magic 8/1, Showed ability in bumpers. Yet to offer anything over hurdles but he can have a line put through his Ludlow handicap debut last month (pulled up early). 6 lb out of the weights.
6
5th (6) (20/1 -233%) Lady Samson
20
20/1(-233%)
(6) Lady Samson 20/1, No better than modest form when in the frame in a pair of novice hurdles here in recent weeks but it wouldn't be a surprise to see her fare better now making a quick switch to handicaps.
4
6th (4) (3/1 +0%) Prison Break
3
3/1(+0%)
(4) Prison Break 3/1, Fair winner on Flat for Richard Fahey and stepped on his first 2 hurdle efforts when making a successful handicap debut in this sphere over C&D 14 days ago. Well on top at the finish so should remain competitive up 6 lb.

19:40 Ffos Las Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(2) Como Park 1.25/1, Second of 8 in maiden at Navan (13f, good, 6/4) 19 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Stable in good form and he's just about the one to beat on these terms.
3
2nd (3) (2.75/1 +54%) First Emperor
2.75
2.75/1(+54%)
(3) First Emperor 2.75/1, Plugged on for fourth of 8 in maiden at Navan (13f, good) 19 days ago. Doesn't do anything quickly but he should be a factor at this level.
7
3rd (7) (33/1 -18%) Actually
33
33/1(-18%)
(7) Actually 33/1, Twice-raced filly. 28/1, fifth of 13 in maiden at Gowran (9.4f, soft) 23 days ago. Significantly up in trip.

2.75
2.75/1(+31%)
(5) Navajo Warrior 2.75/1, Sent off favourite having shaped well on debut but most disappointing when twelfth of 20 in maiden at Naas (7.9f, heavy), finding little. Off 7 months. Significantly up in trip.

33
33/1(-50%)

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
(2) Divine Jewel 0.91/1, Showed similar form to her first 2 starts when second of 11 in minor event at Salisbury (9.9f, good) 35 days ago, no match for winner. Remains capable of better, especially now upped further in distance on handicap debut.
3
2nd (3) (5/1 +9%) Thanks Monica
5
5/1(+9%)
(3) Thanks Monica 5/1, Lightly-raced maiden who returned to form when fourth of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, good to firm) 30 days ago. Player on polytrack debut.

7
7/1(-40%)
(1) Miss Down Under 7/1, Showed improved form to get off the mark in 1m Kempton novice in October. Shaped as if needing the run at Salisbury (9.9f) on reappearance and now upped another 2f in trip on handicap debut.

2.75
2.75/1(-22%)
(4) Amzaan 2.75/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Visored for 1st time, very good second of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 22/1) 30 days ago, clear of rest. Nudged up 3 lb but still looks on a good mark.
LTO Selection:
20:00 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(4) Galileo Silver 2.75/1, Dual winner over fences in December and nothing wrong with a brace of runner-up efforts over hurdles this spring. Nudged up 2 lb but no reason why he won't give it another good shot in change of headgear.
5
2nd (5) (4/1 +27%) Jersey Wonder
4
4/1(+27%)
(5) Jersey Wonder 4/1, Cashed in on a falling mark in 3-runner handicap at Fontwell 18 days ago. That clearly wasn't a deep race and he's up 3 lb which might be enough to prevent the follow up.
6
3rd (6) (10/1 -43%) Itacare
10
10/1(-43%)
(6) Itacare 10/1, Took advantage of a reduced mark when scoring for the first time for this yard at Ludlow in March (on the back of a breathing op). Ran at least as well in defeat at Chepstow but off 6 weeks and was disappointing at Market Rasen.
3
4th (3) (8/1 +33%) Geordie Des Champs
8
8/1(+33%)
(3) Geordie Des Champs 8/1, Beat 2 rivals in this last year and travelled powerfully when right back on track for latest win at Uttoxeter in November. Reportedly bled when pulled up in January and off since but yard in better form now.
1

2.75
2.75/1(-46%)
(1) Francky Du Berlais 2.75/1, In fine form last summer, landing the Summer Plate at Market Rasen and right back on track this spring, confirming the promise of his Topham run when successful at Uttoxeter in April, Lower in the weights back hurdling.
7
6th (7) (5.5/1 +21%) Voodoo Doll
5.5
5.5/1(+21%)
(7) Voodoo Doll 5.5/1, Isn't the easiest to catch right but was 3 lb below last winning mark and was back on his game when third at Ludlow 3 weeks ago. Repeat of that will see him bang there back up in trip minus headgear.
LTO Selection:
20:10 Ffos Las Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 24f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(14) Loughisle Lady 12/1, From a top yard but she didn't achieve any better than modest form in 3 juvenile hurdles last autumn. Patrick Mullins looks elsewhere but still worth a betting check on Flat debut.
13
2nd (13) (1/1 +88%) Hi Stranger
1
1/1(+88%)
(13) Hi Stranger 1/1, Fairly useful bumper winner but only modest form in 2 Flat runs this spring. Possibly more one for handicaps in this sphere.

3.5
3.5/1(+50%)
(1) Advantage Point 3.5/1, Bumper/hurdle winner. Off 683 days, well-held third in maiden at Sligo (13f, good to soft) 30 days ago. May come on for the outing.

25
25/1(+24%)
(5) Free Royal 25/1, Fair gelding. Remains a maiden after 8 Flat runs. Fourth of 6 in similar race (25/1) at Listowel (13f, good to soft) 11 days ago, not knocked about. Trainer going well.
11
6th (11) (6.5/1 +68%) Supreme Jet
6.5
6.5/1(+68%)
(11) Supreme Jet 6.5/1, Fairly useful jumps winner. Modest sixth on Flat debut in May.

16
16/1(+36%)
(4) Fattan 16/1, Fair gelding. 12/1, creditable fourth of 20 in handicap at Navan (13f, good) 33 days ago.

9
9/1(+10%)
(8) Petram 9/1, Tongue strap on, third of 11 in bumper at Thurles (15.5f, good to soft, 4/1) on debut 89 days ago. Should figure on Flat debut.
10
9th (10) (40/1 +60%) Shakespeare's Word
40
40/1(+60%)
(10) Shakespeare's Word 40/1, Modest in varied events for Padraig Roche. Down the field on Flat debut for new stable last month.
2
10th (2) (66/1 -65%) Corbin
66
66/1(-65%)
(2) Corbin 66/1, Modest in bumpers/over hurdles. Never a threat when 11 lengths fifth of 6 on Listowel Flat debut 11 days ago.
9
11th (9) (150/1 -50%) Port Salalah
150
150/1(-50%)
(9) Port Salalah 150/1, Well held in 2 bumpers and a Flat maiden.
LTO Selection:
20:20 Leopardstown Maiden 15f Race Speed Rating Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
(7) Balzac 14/1, Fairly useful winner on the Flat in 2020 but his profile in this sphere is an unconvincing one and he refused to race when last seen at Uttoxeter (15.7f) in October. Understandably needs treating with caution on return.
5
2nd (5) (0.91/1 +24%) Pilgrims King
0.91
0.91/1(+24%)
(5) Pilgrims King 0.91/1, Didn't offer much in maiden/novice hurdles but quick to dispel handicap debut effort with back-to-back C&D victories in recent weeks, readily scoring off a 6 lb lower mark 14 days ago. Remains very much of interest in hat-trick bid.
3
3rd (3) (2.5/1 -11%) Zucayan
2.5
2.5/1(-11%)
(3) Zucayan 2.5/1, Fair form in bumpers and steadily getting the hang of things over hurdles, making a winning handicap debut at Ludlow (15.7f) in May, leading final 100 yds and going clear. 6 lb higher now but he's still low-mileage and may do better again.
1
4th (1) (7.5/1 -15%) Heure De Gloire
7.5
7.5/1(-15%)
(1) Heure De Gloire 7.5/1, Capitalised on much-reduced mark (in first-time blinkers) over C&D in March but failed by a long chalk to back that up when pulled up at Southwell (20.4f) 23 days ago. However, yard continue in excellent form and bounce back not ruled out. Down in trip.
4
5th (4) (25/1 -79%) Wise Glory
25
25/1(-79%)
(4) Wise Glory 25/1, Winless over hurdles for Paul Nicholls and has proved more miss than hit on the Flat upon joining present stable. Percentage call is to look elsewhere now attentions are switched back to timber.
2
6th (2) (14/1 -17%) Dinsdale
14
14/1(-17%)
(2) Dinsdale 14/1, Proved that he retains most of his ability after a pipe-opener on the Flat when fourth at Newcastle in November. However, he's been operating below his best under both codes subsequently and first-time visor needs to have positive effect back over hurdles.
6
7th (6) (50/1 -52%) Blaze A Trail
50
50/1(-52%)
(6) Blaze A Trail 50/1, Fair winning hurdler/chaser for Elizabeth Doyle in Ireland but didn't cut much ice over fences for this yard last autumn and similarly showed little back from 7 months off over hurdles at Worcester in May.

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.
