Beyond Borders, Golden Trick and A Girl Named Ivy are respected newcomers and it will be interesting to see what the market makes of their chances, but it's hard to look beyond JEHANGEER. A full-brother to the yard's dual Group 1-winning sprinter Hello Youmzain, Kevin Ryan's colt showed promise on his introduction when second to Army Ethos, who gave that form a huge boost when going very close in the Coventry at Royal Ascot on Tuesday. Our Havana's debut form is also working out well.

The well-bred JEHANGEER found only Tuesday's Coventry second Army Ethos too good first time up here last month and is hard to get away from with improvement on the way. Our Havana also brings Royal Ascot form to the table having shaped as if better for the run in a Redcar race that contained the Windsor Castle winner. A Girl Named Ivy cost a bit and might be the pick of the newcomers in what could be an informative maiden.

This can go to JEHANGEER whose second over C&D on debut was given a boost by the winner at Royal Ascot on Tuesday.

ANCIENT WISDOM created a deep impression when winning on his debut at Haydock earlier in the month and the son of Dubawi looks more than capable of shrugging off a 6lb penalty. Travolta offered something to work with when fifth at Yarmouth on debut and James Ferguson's colt rates as the biggest danger. Never So Brave makes most appeal of the newcomers and any market support would be noteworthy.

ANCIENT WISDOM couldn't have created a better impression on debut at Haydock two weeks ago, and he's very hard to oppose even under a penalty. Travolta has plenty to find with the selection, but shaped encouragingly on his Yarmouth debut and should progress. Never So Brave cost a pretty packet as a yearling and is an interesting newcomer.

It's hard to get away from Godolphin's ANCIENT WISDOM, who looked a smart prospect when surging clear at Haydock two weeks ago.

BRAVE EMPIRE displayed a willing attitude when holding on to triumph at Windsor earlier in the month and a similar level of performance may be enough to shrug off a 7lb penalty in this contest. Indivar offered plenty of encouragement when runner-up on his recent debut at Ayr and the David O'Meara-trained colt isn't taken lightly. Karl Burke introduces two interesting newcomers in Destiny Maker and Dark Encounter, with the market likely to guide.

BRAVE EMPIRE cost plenty as a yearling and showed a good attitude when winning at Windsor last time, so looks capable of defying a penalty here. Blue Point colt Indivar also showed promise amidst inexperience on his debut at Ayr, with Destiny Maker most appealing of the newcomers.

Given the superiority the front two had at Windsor, BRAVE EMPIRE is taken to defy a penalty and successfully follow up.

CHASING CHANCES shaped better the beaten distance suggests when finishing fourth on his hurdling debut over an extended 2m7f at Punchestown earlier in the month and compensation could await Shark Hanlon's gelding now dropped to 2m. His Irish counterpart Gortmillish is an intriguing rival on his return from a 609-day layoff for the Gordon Elliott team and any market support would be worth noting. Kellyiscool will likely need to improve on his latest fifth at Sligo, yet still completes the shortlist.

Not a strong maiden hurdle and the returning GORTMILLISH can give Gordon Elliott another Perth victory hot on the back of his 4 winners at the last meeting. Kellyiscool looks the danger.

The pick is CHASING CHANCES, who was right in the thick of things for a long way on his recent hurdling debut at Punchestown

The handicapper has given some respite to Strong Johnson, who should prove more competitive now 4lb lower than his recent fourth-placed finish at Catterick. Preference, however, is for last month's York winner KUWAIT CITY. John Butler's gelding impressed with the amount of ground he made up from an uncompromising position and a 6lb rise may underestimate him. Sir Titus is only 1lb higher than his runner-up effort on reappearance at Beverley in April and completes the shortlist.

SHOWALONG has tumbled down the weights and confirmed the promise of his reappearance run when scoring with a bit to spare at Nottingham 6 weeks ago. Remaining with a good deal of scope from a handicapping perspective, he earns the vote to follow up. Sir Titus ran well on his return at Beverley in April and is feared, along with York-scorer Kuwait City.

Be Proud can go well with Paul Mulrennan back on board but STRONG JOHNSON may be ready to exploit his drop down the weights.

Dutch Gold can give it a good go from the front after an encouraging third over 1m at Limerick, although he didn't shape like this extra yardage would necessarily suit, while Hutton Glen disappointed when stepped up a similar trip latest. Conversely, RIGHT NOW improved on his introduction when staying on well for second over an extended 1m2f at Sligo and, representing the trainer who won this race last year, he can go one better with scope for further progress.

Not a strong maiden on paper and DUTCH GOLD might be able to get the job done stepped up in trip. Right Now can improve and could take a hand, while Cosmic Lady is an interesting newcomer.

HUTTON GLEN was below par from a bad draw last time but his previous efforts bring him right into it. Dutch Gold might not stay.

JUST JANET looks the one to be on. David O'Meara's filly has been knocking on the door of late, with runner-up efforts at Leicester and Thirsk, and likely has more to come off just 1lb higher with the cheekpieces retained. Sophia's Starlight and My Delilah have the form to go close too, with the former feared most on the basis that her latest Chester third is form which reads well. The winner was deemed good enough for the Britannia Stakes at Royal Ascot and didn't run poorly under a penalty.

Plenty arrive with claims, including SOPHIA'S STARLIGHT who ran well when third over further at Chester 7 days ago, that despite possibly making her effort earlier than ideal. The return to sprinting won't inconvenience her on that evidence and all looks set fair for another big run. My Delilah and Torfrida look the dangers.

Plenty have possibilities but SOPHIA'S STARLIGHT gets the vote on her drop back in trip and grade. My Delilah is feared most.

MIRRIE DANCERS proved a different proposition when gaining a breakthrough success on his stable debut at Wetherby earlier in the month and the five-year-old won with enough authority on that occasion to believe that a 4lb rise won't prevent him from going in again. Pound Off You chases a hat-trick in this sphere and looks the obvious threat, ahead of Marbuzet, who returned to form when staying on into third at Leicester last time.

MARBUZET was a dual winner last season and seems to running himself back into form, so is fancied to build on his recent Leicester third and notch his first win of the year. Mirrie Dancers and Pound Off You both made successful returns from notable absences last time and are most feared if they are able to replicate those efforts here.

Tim Easterby took this 12 months ago and can repeat the feat with MARBUZET (nap) who looked ready to strike when third at Leicester

DRAGON ROCK was far from disgraced when finding only a resurgent Pottlerath too good on his chasing debut at Bangor earlier in the month and the seven-year-old looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to go one place better in this contest. Cardamon Hill boasts a point-to-point background and may offer the biggest threat on his chasing debut, ahead of Petrastar, who wasn't shaping too badly at Huntingdon last month but for falling at the last fence.

DRAGON ROCK jumped better as the race wore on when second in a 3-runner handicap on chase bow at Bangor 2 weeks ago and, with progress anticipated, he could well be up to going one place better. Cardamon Hill, on chase debut, may emerge as the chief threat, ahead of Petrastar.

Dragon Rock was second on his chasing debut but GLADIATORIAL switches back to fences on a very good mark and might be the answer.

B Associates has been in cracking form this year and he has to be respected on the same mark as when he was only denied a four-timer by a nose at Doncaster last time. However, the Grant Tuer-trained RUN CMC is preferred, as he was only touched off by a short head at Wetherby over this trip latest and, with a better break this time, he could be the one to beat off 2lb higher. Last-time-out victor Caesars Pearl is another to consider.

YORKSTONE caught the eye at Beverley 2 weeks ago, finishing with running left under an inexperienced rider, and looks the type to win handicaps. The thriving B Associates was only just denied the 4-timer at Doncaster on Sunday so is next best ahead of Run Cmc, who was headed only in the dying strides at Wetherby 11 days ago.

If Caesars Pearl doesn't stay and B Associates finds this one race too many for now, Wetherby second RUN CMC can capitalise.

Aidan O'Brien has a fine strike-rate in this contest, as he has taken two of the last three renewals, and he has a strong hand once more with the top two in the market. Preference is for his PEARLS AND RUBIES, who just got up by a neck on debut at Navan over 5f and she shaped as if in need of this step up in distance. With potentially loads of improvement to come, she is fancied to come out on top to give leading jockey Ryan Moore another one to his tally. The main threat might come from Matnookh, who he did incredibly well to be beaten just under four lengths third on his first start at Windsor after being slowly away. He should have learned a lot from that experience and he is one to take seriously at a price. Another to note is Lightning Leo, who had Sayedaty Sadaty (second) and Quatre Bras (third) behind him last time and he isn't ruled out in this open contest.

Aidan O'Brien has won 4 of the last 7 runnings and in PEARLS AND RUBIES has a very exciting filly who can land the spoils. She oozed class when overcoming inexperience to make a winning start at Navan and is sure to improve for this stiffer test. La Guarida looked very good herself when scoring at Goodwood and can progress upped in trip. Golden Mind, a half-brother to Perfect Power who won at this meeting in 2021 and 2022, is also of firm interest after his Leicester victory.

In a deep and very interesting renewal of the Chesham, the percentage call goes to GOLDEN MIND with La Guarida second choice.

Mobilise broke through at Leopardstown on his second start in a handicap and he could improve again for the step up in trip so warrants plenty of respect. However, NAVY BEACH just shades the vote after catching the eye when staying on into fifth on his handicap bow at Limerick, and the Tony Martin-trained son of Galileo now rises in distance off 2lb lower. Last weekend's easy Gowran winner Sea Spray completes the shortlist.

MOBILISE took another step forward when scoring at Leopardstown last time and he's going on improving, so he gets the narrow vote to follow up with the longer trip unlikely to pose a problem. Picture of A City looks a danger on the back of a solid showing at Fairyhouse and Sea Spray is another one to consider.

There could be better to come from Leopardstown winner MOBILISE now that he goes beyond a mile for the first time

IMPERIAL EMPEROR ran out an impressive victor on his debut over this trip on the Rowley Mile in October and Charlie Appleby's colt may prove difficult to beat, despite being burdened with a 6lb penalty. Battista wasn't disgraced when working his way into fourth at Kempton earlier this month and could give the selection plenty to think about, while Sniper's Eye may fare better dropping in distance.

IMPERIAL EMPEROR looked a good prospect when scoring with plenty in hand on debut at Newmarket in October so is taken to defy a penalty and extend his unbeaten record. Sniper's Eye shaped really well when fourth on the Rowley Mile 5 weeks ago so rates a serious threat, while Battista can be expected to leave his Kempton debut behind.

This can go to IMPERIAL EMPEROR, who sets a high standard under a penalty for his impressive 1m debut win in the autumn.

HIDDEN CODE attempted to make all last time at Carlisle when just fading late on to be beaten under a length over 1m1f, and the handicapper may have been kind to leave him on the same mark for that effort. The three-year-old drops in trip and wears first-time cheekpieces, which could eke out the improvement needed to score here. Another to consider is Jazz Samba, who filled the runner-up spot at Wetherby over 7f last time and could have a say off 1lb higher, while Revoquable is also worthy of consideration.

HIDDEN CODE ran well at Carlisle earlier this month and is highly respected with headgear now applied, whilst Beverley-winner Jazz Samba arrives on the back of another good performance and is another player despite a less-than-ideal draw.

Low-mileage 4yo JAZZ SAMBA can build on her good running-on Wetherby second to resume winning ways now she steps back up in trip.

PETITE RHAPSODY capitalised on a declining mark when getting up in the dying strides over C&D last month and a 6lb rise may not prevent Lucinda Russell's charge from completing a double. Minella Youngy was unable to justify favouritism when finding a rampant Belvedere Blast too hot to handle at Hexham last Saturday, but a 1lb nudge up the ratings is unlikely to prevent another bold bid. Balranald and Bella Bluesky also enter calculations.

MINELLA YOUNGY ran much better than for a while from a sliding mark when runner-up at Hexham last week so could be ready to strike with the return to further expected to suit. Man of The House caught the eye for a long way at Kilbeggan last time so may emerge as the biggest threat ahead of Balranald.

Unexposed Irish raider MAN OF THE HOUSE drops back in trip after moving well for a long way over 3m three weeks ago and gets the vote.

KIHAVAH kept on well to score over 1m 4f at York on his most recent run and the six-year-old could prove tough to beat in his bid for a four-timer, despite a 7lb rise for the aforementioned success. He preceded that triumph with victories over that same C&D and over hurdles, and it seems he is yet to find his ceiling. It's Good To Laugh improved to finish third in the Chester Plate last month and is feared most off 1lb higher, while Scampi is another to consider.

KIHAVAH has taken his form to another level this season, landing big-field handicaps at York on his last two starts in this sphere, either side of scoring over hurdles at Market Rasen. This demands a new personal-best but the 6-y-o may well be equal to the task. Last year's winner Dark Jedi failed to fire last time but he will have every chance if on-song. The veterans Euchen Glen and Sir Chauvelin both warrant respect, too.

It may be worth taking a chance with DARK JEDI who bounced back from a moderate effort when winning this race last year.

Covey landed a treble in comfortable style at Haydock last month but, given the last 10 winners hadn't run in a handicap on their previous start, it could pay to side with THE ANTARCTIC. A game winner of the Lacken Stakes at Naas most recently, Aidan O'Brien's inmate has shaped as though he can progress further for stepping up in trip. He lost little in defeat behind Blackbeard in in the Group 1 Middle Park Stakes at Newmarket last September and the 750,000gns purchase rates the one to beat. Enfjaar cost 240,000gns as a foal and caught the eye when beating subsequent Lingfield Derby Trial winner Military Order into fourth on his debut at Newmarket. Roger Varian's charge made it 2-2 when bolting up under a penalty at Chelmsford on his most recent run and he likely has more to offer. Olivia Maralda and Zoology add further spice to a competitive renewal.

COVEY marked himself down as a pattern-class performer in the making when blowing apart a competitive Haydock handicap in a good time 4 weeks ago and interestingly pitched in here by his leading stable, he's expected to make a bold bid to make it 4 wins from 5 starts. The Antarctic ran out a good winner of a Group 3 on his latest outing and is feared, along with the unbeaten Enfjaar. Olivia Maralda and Mysterious Night also make each-way appeal.

Ballydoyle contender THE ANTARCTIC ran well in 6f Group 1 races last year, while also shaping as though he could be even better at 7f.

James Henry is another to consider.

STORMY JENN shaped as if back in form when fourth in a big field at Fairyhouse so could be ready to strike off a tempting mark. Arch Enemy and Gracesolution head the dangers.

The 7f trip looked too sharp for JAMES HENRY on his seasonal debut. His new trainer starts him off at a distance that may suit better.

A 3lb rise following a game success at Newbury over 1m4f may not be enough to stop Seal Of Solomon being in the mix, and Ed Dunlop's charge would be dangerous to ignore. However, KING EAGLE landed a staying-on success over an extended 1m3f at Bath in April and rates the one to beat stepping up in trip. State Legend is another to consider in first-time cheekpieces.

Low-mileage 4-y-o KING EAGLE has gone up 8 lb for his Bath success on debut for Nicky Henderson in April, but that rise is fair considering that the first two pulled nicely clear of the rest. Furthermore, there's a good chance that he will progress again upped to this trip. Temporize has been absent since January but will be a threat off this tempting mark if fully tuned-up, while Red Flyer, who was just touched off in a hot C&D handicap last summer, also has claims.

The vote goes to SEAL OF SOLOMON, who made it 6-14 in handicaps with his game win at Newbury two weeks ago.

Alethiometer gained a first success of the season when winning a small-field affair at Ayr earlier in the month. A 6lb rise, however, may be enough to prevent Michael Dods' filly from completing a double, with GIOIA CIECA making slightly more appeal. The five-year-old returned to form when runner-up at Musselburgh three weeks ago and he looks capable of defying a 3lb nudge in the ratings. Hickory and Woven shouldn't be far away either.

Top of the list is MUDAMER, who shaped well in a big-field York handicap last month and he is lurking on an attractive mark. Woven didn't have things run to suit at Ayr and is one to be interested in based on his reappearance success at Doncaster. Gioia Cieca and Hickory are others to consider.

Redcar has been the venue for AZANO's last two wins and he gets the nod on the back of last week's good Listed third at York.

An emphatic winner over this trip at Southwell earlier this month, CAPTAIN IVAN could prove tough to peg back if anywhere near that form and an 8lb raised mark may not be enough to stop him following up. He is taken to get the better of the class-dropping Lermoos Legend, who has been knocking on the door of late, while Sao is another to bear in mind.

LERMOOS LEGEND again left the impression that his turn is near when chasing home the in-form Blueberry Wine at Aintree and he is taken to deservedly get his head back in front. It's likely that the selection will have most to fear from Captain Ivan, who is greatly respected despite going up 8 lb for his recent Southwell success. Sao isn't the most reliable nowadays but he's certainly capable of a bold show off this sort of mark.

Preference is for LERMOOS LEGEND, who ran well in defeat on his last two appearances.

ROYAL ACLAIM looked potentially the next sprinting superstar following her Listed success at York last summer and while things haven't gone entirely to plan since, James Tate's filly appears to have been found a suitable place to get back to winning ways. The four-year-old was inconvenienced by where she raced on her return in the Temple Stakes at Haydock and is worth another chance. Treasure Trove is entitled to progress from her comeback at Cork last month, while others to note include Nymphadora and Silent Words.

NYMPHADORA takes a step up in grade but still looks the way to go on the back of her career-best Chester handicap success which gives her good form claims. Royal Aclaim wasn't at her best in the Temple Stakes at Haydock last time but still merits respect back in these calmer waters, while Funny Story shouldn't be underestimated on the back of her Nottingham victory.

Australian sprinter ARTORIUS didn't enjoy the smoothest of passages when finishing third in last year's renewal of this contest and compensation could await. The Freedman-trained colt arrives in good form having added another Group 1 trophy to his cabinet at Randwick and then losing little in defeat at Rosehill just two weeks later. The son of Flying Artie can put his experience to good use and record a first success on these shores. Wellington will likely enjoy not running into Sha Tin superstar Lucky Sweynesse this time and is feared most on his first visit to Ascot, with Ryan Moore, who has ridden the six-year-old to success in the Hong Kong Sprint, a shrewd-looking jockey booking. Highfield Princess and Kinross head the list of dangers for the home team in an open-looking contest.

With conditions likely to be on the quick side, Australian-raider ARTORIUS makes the most appeal. He was a strong-finishing third in this race last year and looked better than ever when successful in a Group 1 at Randwick in March. Wellington is another from overseas who is high on the shortlist, while everything is in place for another big run from Rohaan at this meeting.

Unexposed as a sprinter, the thriving 6yo AL SUHAIL can win this again for Charlie Appleby, with Highfield Princess much feared.

GRECIAN SLIPPER struggled to land a telling blow in Listed company over 1m6f at Gowran Park latest, but makes plenty of appeal now dropped in trip and class, with first-time cheekpieces applied. She won comfortably over this distance last year in a Navan maiden and is taken to get back on track. Of the others, Galactica is a player judged on her latest Fairyhouse third and Enfranchise is interesting back on the level.

GRECIAN SLIPPER was a creditable third on her return handicap debut at Thirsk and, if able to get back on track in first-time cheekpieces here, she could be the answer. Stablemate Timeless Soul is just about feared most, with Hazy Mehmory and Satin also likely to take a hand in the finish.

There is likely more in the daughter of Muhaarar's locker and she can account for Bishop's Crown, who has been knocking on the door of late and commands respect on his handicap bow. Hat Toss also merits consideration off 8lb higher than his latest Sandown success.

It was hard not to have been impressed by the manner of Match Play's recent Haydock win but a 7lb rise may leave him vulnerable. Zuffolo, who won well over C&D (6lb lower mark) before not appearing to act at Epsom next time, is one alternative, but Newmarket raider RUSSET GOLD may throw up better value. Roger Varian's chestnut got no sort of run when attracting market support on his reappearance in the Dash at Epsom and he remains feasibly treated if able to reproduce the sort of sparkle which saw him streak home in a Pontefract novice event last summer.

An open handicap so it is worth siding with Roger Varian's RUSSET GOLD, who didn't enjoy the rub of the green when eleventh at Epsom on his return and can bounce back in style now to capitalise on an attractive mark. Let's Go Hugo arrives in good nick and seems sure to have a say along with recent Haydock scorer Match Play.

Nigel Tinkler may hold the key here and SQUEALER is preferred to \bLakota Blue\.

The gelded son of Presenting saw off his stablemate by three and a half lengths in the aforementioned contest and the pair can land Gordon Elliott a 1-2 in this. Presentandcounting secured a facile success at Ffos Las on his most recent outing and should not be underestimated off 5lb higher.

BALLYKEEL has a career-high mark to overcome but still looks the way to go on the back of his idling C&D success. Course-winner Presentandcounting rates much the biggest threat, with Saint Arvans appealing as the pick of the remainder for minor honours.

Prolific 9yo PRESENTANDCOUNTING (nap) was back in very good nick when winning easily at Ffos Las recently and is still on a good mark.

16:14 Ayr Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

NOVAK arrives at the top of his game and a hat-trick looks a distinct possibility off only 4lb higher. Cold Stare ran one of his better races this season when runner-up at Leicester last month and the eight-year-old is feared most racing off the same mark in this contest. Slainte Mhath rated as a progressive sort on turf prior to her ninth-placed finish on the all-weather earlier in the month, and she shouldn't be underestimated now back on the grass.

It's probably best to overlook PAPA COCKTAIL's latest effort at Beverley where he was poorly drawn. The 4-y-o won three on the bounce prior to that and he is taken to get back on track with another victory. Novak is bidding to complete the hat-trick and he is second choice ahead of Summer Sands, who shaped with encouragement on his reappearance at Thirsk and has slipped to a potentially very handy mark. Huddle Up is also in with a shout.

The choice is NOVAK, who can complete the hat-trick and make it 3-3 under William Pyle. He remains unexposed as a sprinter.

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

Hukum lowered the colours of the unbeaten Derby hero Desert Crown last time at Sandown in the Brigadier Gerard, and that was a mighty performance considering he was returning from a 356-day break over a trip that may have not been ideal. He is likely to be a warm favourite for this but, at the prices, he can be taken on with PYLEDRIVER. The son of Harbour Watch is no stranger to Royal Ascot as he took the King Edward VII in 2020 over C&D and that gives a big boost to his claims. The six-year-old is officially the top-rated in the contest with a mark of 124 and was last seen taking the King George VI here 11 months ago, which shows he goes well fresh. Free Wind is a lightly-raced five-year-old on the up and the form of her Middleton Stakes victory at York last month was franked by Rogue Milennium (second) securing the Duke Of Cambridge here on Wednesday, so she is also worthy of consideration.

FREE WIND's Middleton Stakes form received a boost when the runner-up took the Duke of Cambridge earlier in the week and George Strawbridge's 5-y-o can mark herself down as a contender for top honours in the second half of this season by claiming the scalp of last month's Brigadier Gerard winner Hukum. Deauville Legend may prove best of the remainder.

Productive mare FREE WIND (nap) is taken to extend her winning sequence. Hukum is feared most.

Hard to rule any of these unexposed types out in a contest that's likely to work out well. Michael Bell sends his first ever runner to the course so Ibrahimovic warrants respect off what looks a fair opening mark. Preference, however, is for recent Listed scorer TOWER OF LONDON. The son of Galileo improved for the step up to 1m4f at Leopardstown recently and he may have too much class for these rivals. Last-time-out winners Pearl Of Australia and Dubawi Spectre are others to note.

IBRAHIMOVIC has improved with each of his three starts to date and further progress is anticipated here now moving up in trip for this handicap debut. Michael Bell's representative gets the nod ahead of Tower of London, who landed a listed race in decisive fashion recently and he looks dangerous. Aidan O'Brien also saddles another appealing candidate in Hippodrome, while the hat-trick seeking Matt Connor and Dubawi Spectre are others to consider.

With Killian Hennessy taking off 7lb TOWER OF LONDON (nap) has a realistic chance of supplementing a Listed win gained at Leopardstown.

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

Danzart has shown his versatility by scoring over 6f and 7f in each of his last three outings, and he now goes off a 20lb higher rating than the start of that winning sequence. With that in mind, HOT CHESNUT could be the one. The five-year-old was a ready two-length victor at Chelmsford last time and, if she can translate that level of form to the turf, she could be tough to beat. Dion Baker is also noted.

The well-handicapped ALIBABA is worth a chance to build on an encouraging run at Beverley last time. Cubanista has had the form of his latest Yarmouth second boosted by the winner going in and he'll be a threat if the blinkers work as well a second time. The thriving Danzart should also be on the premises.

A competitive race in which recent Yarmouth runner-up DION BAKER gets the vote ahead of Danzart and Cubanista.

Hard to rule anything out of this with confidence, including the filly Boniato, who was a victim of interference when keeping on at Catterick on her debut. Sidney's Son probably sets the overall form standard, but this drop back in trip may not be ideal which could leave him vulnerable to Grant Tuer's improving ROOSKA, who wasn't far off over this course and distance on his second start last month.

Grant Tuer's ROOSKA stepped forward when runner-up in a C&D maiden last month and shouldn't need to improve much further to get off the mark. Oneforsue and Sidney's Son are more exposed but the former sets a fair standard and looks best placed to take advantage if the selection underperforms.

Grant Tuer's twice-raced ROOSKA has gone with some promise when placed on both occasions and can progress further to get off the mark

Russian Virtue beat Garde Des Champs by a length and a half over C&D last time and, despite being 2lb worse off at the weights with that rival today, that form is likely to be confirmed by the former. However, they could be running for second place beind TREBIZOND, who is unbeaten for his new trainer in two starts, with the latest of those victories coming over 2m4f at this track, and he can go in once more off 5lb higher.

A further 3 lb rise may not prevent RUSSIAN VIRTUE going in again and confirming recent C&D superiority over Garde Des Champs. Gavin and Trebizond, who respectively bid for 4 and 3 wins in a row, should also have a say in a competitive heat.

A chance is taken on the fitness of good-ground bumper winner MR SUNDANCER, who ran okay on heavy ground on his handicap debut.

Bonito Cavalo is sure to be popular for Jim Goldie after some good efforts in defeat over shorter, but better value may lie with another stepping up in trip in the shape of SAM'S CALL. The selection was noted keeping on well at the finish when beaten less than two lengths in a 6f handicap at Nottingham last week, and tackling 7f for the first time can unlock some improvement. Jkr Cobbler has obvious claims after his close-up third in a C&D handicap earlier in the month.

WILLIING TO PLEASE was strong in the betting prior to a poor run at Carlisle last time and she'd been shaping up well previously, so she gets the nod ahead of Bonito Cavalo, who is in good heart but needs to prove his stamina. Jkr Cobbler should also be on the premises.

It may be worth siding with SAM'S CALL who has mainly been running well this year. He is bred to stay the extra furlong.

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

ORAZIO looked a potential Group-class performer when running out an impressive winner over C&D last month and a 9lb rise might not be enough to stop him from landing the hat-trick. The form of his Newmarket victory at the Craven meeting was backed up by the runner-up, Probe, who is in opposition again having won on 2000 Guineas day. Connections have managed to book Ryan Moore for the ride and he has to warrant plenty of respect. Khanjar sports cheekpieces for the first time and has threatened to win a prize of this nature, while others worth noting include Bielsa, the former Ayr Gold Cup hero who scored at York last month, and Flaming Rib, who was runner-up in last year's Commonwealth Cup.

ORAZIO has looked a colt destined for pattern company this season and remains ahead of the handicapper despite being hit with a 9 lb rise for his impressive C&D success so gets the vote. Bielsa seemed right back to his best when resuming winning ways at York's Dante meeting and rates the chief threat to Charlie Hills's low-mileage 4-y-o, although Khanjar could have a big say too if the fitting of cheekpieces has the desired effect. Lethal Levi and Spirit of Light complete the shortlist.

New blood can come to the fore with ORAZIO, who has an unblemished turf record since returning from missing all of 2022.

Willie Mullins' Stoke The Fire is back from an absence and the betting must be monitored, but YOUR HONOR developed into a decent juvenile hurdler and could be on a handy mark back on the level. Bloodless Punchestown scorer Londonofficecallin is also appealing now reverting to the Flat, while the hat-trick seeking All In Peder has to be feared. Areana found only one too strong on her handicap bow at Tipperary but must concede weight to some potentially well treated rivals.

AREANA marked herself down as one to be interested in when runner-up on handicap debut at Tipperary 25 days ago, faring best of those held up, and she could well be up to building on that effort given her low-mileage profile. Striking, returning from a successful spell over hurdles, and the hat-trick seeking All In Peder head up the dangers, with Stoke The Fire an intriguing runner back from a lengthy absence.

Almost four years since finishing in rear on his only nursery start LONDONOFFICECALLIN gets the vote to add to his recent hurdles win

17:09 Newmarket Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

THE GREEN MAN struck by just over three lengths last time at York to record a double and he was raised 9lb for the latest of those victories. Considering the manner of that success on the Knavesmire, that rise may not be enough to stop him from making it three on the spin. Ernie's Valentine (second) had Above (third) behind by a length last time at Leicester over 7f, and he is fancied to uphold that form.

THE GREEN MAN arrives on a hat-trick having powered away at York last time and, in a less-competitive event, he's fancied to defy another rise. Above showed more encouraging signs last time, so he's regarded as a threat, while Ernie's Valentine can't be ruled out.

4yo THE GREEN MAN completed a double in emphatic style at York last week and is a major player again in his hat-trick bid.

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

A wide-open finale in which a decent case could be made for giving another chance to AURORA GLORY, who was backed to open her account at Beverley last time. The stiff 7f found her out on that occasion, but she'd earlier finished a solid runner-up over this trip at Ripon and her present mark remains exploitable. Bryce showed improvement when third at Wetherby last time and remains one to be interested in, whilst any market move for handicap debutant Senate Queen could be significant with Graham Lee taking over in the plate.

GLENDOWN is lightly raced and found improvement when runner-up at Haydock last time, so he takes preference over Bryce, who arrives on the back of a solid showing at Wetherby. Jack of Clubs is likely to bounce back from a poor run, so he's another one to consider. Spirit In My Soul starts out for a new yard with blinkers fitted, so she's worth monitoring in the betting.

The fitting of headgear and a reducing mark hint that SPIRIT IN MY SOUL might be capable of getting her nose in front.

COOL CROI ran with huge credit when third by just under a length over C&D in this grade last time and she was only raised 2lb for that display, which could prove to be lenient and she is fancied to come home in front for the Gordon Elliott stable. The one to give her the most to think about could be Ultra Violet, who had Pammi (sixth) behind when he was far from disgraced when fourth in a class 4 event last time and could have a say off 1lb lower.

COOL CROI wasn't ideally placed when third over C&D last time and, with few miles on the clock, she's expected to build on that, so she gets the nod over Pammi, who boasts an excellent course record. Ultra Violet is also considered.

Low-mileage mare COOL CROI probably didn't have the race run to suit when a close third over C&D last month and can do better.

17:23 Limerick Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The going could become soft so PIVOTAL REVIVE might win, despite being absent since November. Out of a Listed winner, he bumped into Royal Ascot-placed Bertinelli at Dundalk on debut and while he drops in distance on belated reappearance, he is by Pivotal whose progeny like soft ground. Paradise Perfect showed his inexperience at Dundalk in April but has behaved since and while he is race-fit and was beaten by subsequent winners Tango Flare and Running Cool recently, soft ground would be concerning. Artemis Jones finished ahead of a subsequent winner (71-rated Heartrate) at Dundalk when last seen in March but lacks race-fitness and soft ground might not suit. Frustrating, keen-going Navalny is held by Paradise Perfect on Fairyhouse form and also disappointed once on soft.

PIVOTAL REVIVE ran a fine race when pushing the now 114-rated Bertinelli close on debut in November and could be hard to beat if improving on his return. Paradise Perfect might be the danger, ahead of Artemis Jones.

Though he has taken time to make his second start, PIVOTAL REVIVE can go one better on ground he should handle.

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

Those drawn high have tended do well since the inauguration of this contest in 2020, with the first three places in last year's renewal filled by runners drawn 13 and above. With that in mind, it may pay to take a chance on LION OF WAR. Having won his first two starts last summer, Charlie Johnston's colt bounced back to form in eye-catching fashion when powering home to win well over 1m1f at Musselburgh three weeks ago and a 4lb rise still leaves him on a fair mark now back up in trip. Canute won with ease on his second appearance in a handicap at Navan earlier in the month and Aidan O'Brien's colt is feared most, despite the handicapper raising him 11lb in the ratings. Knockbrex lost little in defeat when finishing fourth to subsequent Queen's Vase third Chesspiece at York last month and completes the shortlist now eased in distance.

Frankie Dettori's final Royal Ascot ride is KNOCKBREX and Charlie Johnston's charge might just be up to providing the fairytale ending. His early-season novice form is strong and for a good part of his 1½m York handicap debut he looked a horse ahead of his mark, a point he can prove back down at 1¼m. Canute is feared most on the back of his cosy Navan success. The selection's stablemate Lion of War should relish the step back up in trip and also makes the shortlist along with Have Secret.

Charlie Johnston has two good hopes, primarily perhaps with KNOCKBREX. Ziryab is second choice.

KNIGHT SLEEPER shaped well on his first career outing when third at Sligo, and the manner in which the son of Golden Horn finished his race off suggested the extra yardage on this occasion would be right up his street. Merlin Giant sports cheekpieces for the first time and may appreciate reverting to the level after a couple of below-par hurdling displays. Impero arrives having outperformed market expectations at Killarney and a repeat of that performance gives him a chance.

MERLIN GIANT was below his best over hurdles on his most recent start but his profile on the Flat is a solid one and he could well be worth siding with to get back on track under Colin Keane. Impero and Knight Sleeper may emerge as the chief threats.

Impero is a big danger if taking his Killarney run at face value but MERLIN GIANT - the superior hurdler - is taken to prevail.

Moonlit Cloud has gone up 8lb following a comfortable success at Yarmouth on her latest outing and she can go close despite that hike in the weights. However, a return to this track can have a positive effect for EKLIL, who was only narrowly denied off the same mark over C&D on his penultimate outing. Semser is another not to be underestimated off 1lb higher than his decent second at Goodwood last time out.

Quite a trappy handicap but the 3-y-o KODIMAN caught the eye at Chelmsford last time and could have more to offer, so he makes the most appeal in receipt of a fair bit of weight from the hat-trick-seeking Moonlit Cloud and Bright Start.

SATURN SEVEN starts off in handicaps rated 71 and, crucially given a wet forecast, has easy-ground form. A five-race maiden, she ran well here on debut and at Gowran in May, finishing between two subsequent winners who are now both rated 89. Toughen Up finished ahead of one of those 89-rated runners (Fort Vega) in a soft-ground C&D April maiden and debuts in handicaps rated 74. However, he was beaten at odds-on at Gowran in May in a first-time tongue-tie, which is retained. Gunsight likes soft and was narrowly beaten from 1lb lower at Killarney, but is without his rider's 10lb claim and drops to this distance for the first time. Little Keilee likes easy ground and stumbled recently at Fairyhouse. She has form at this distance at Dundalk in the past. Parana Delta is 6lb higher than when winning at Leopardstown (the third won subsequently) but is unproven on testing ground, while Tiymara has soft-ground form but has disappointed this year and runs in cheekpieces.

GUNSIGHT shaped like the best horse at the weights when second at Killarney last time and, now partnered by a more experienced rider, he's worth a chance to go one better. Last-time-out winners Semblance of Order and Parana Delta are both obvious dangers.

SATURN SEVEN can get off the mark with the combination of 7f on easy ground to suit.

CHRONOGRAPH sets the standard with a rating of 78 and he was only denied by a neck last time at Chester when attempting to make all. The son of Recorder retains the cheekpieces from that effort and he could prove to be way too good for these. The main danger might be Lowick, who can be forgiven for last time after her bit slipped at Kempton and she could have a say, while any market support for Eagle Fang would be interesting.

A poor maiden on paper and a good opportunity for CHRONOGRAPH to open his account having gone close from the front at Chester. Newcomer Eagle Fang might be a danger.

A reproduction of the form CHRONOGRAPH has shown when placed in similar company should be good enough.

STRATUM arrives in search of a hat-trick of victories in this contest and the 10-year-old warmed up for this when not running too badly at Leopardstown on his return from a break. William Buick is reunited in the saddle and the pair boast strong credentials once again. Dawn Rising made up into a very useful hurdler during the winter months, placing at the highest level, and finished ahead of the selection when third in the aforementioned Leopardstown Group 3. He is respected, with the step up in trip potentially unlocking further improvement, while Cesarewitch winner Run For Oscar is likely to be a lot happier stepped back up in distance following his prep over 1m4f at the Curragh.

DAWN RISING has displayed plenty of talent over hurdles and is firmly expected to improve for this longer trip, so he takes marginal preference over Stratum, who is going for a hat-trick in this. Falcon Eight has plenty of class and should come on for his rather laboured effort in the Chester Cup.

The Irish contingent look formidable. Dual winner Stratum is impossible to knock but DAWN RISING may have his measure.

A fairly open contest in which it could pay to side with FULFILLED. A game winner over 1m2f at Ripon on his seasonal debut earlier this month, David Simcock's inmate went off favourite when beaten a length and a quarter over 1m4f at Beverley last time out and a drop in class can bring about further improvement. Star From Afarhh could give the selection plenty to think about off 2lb higher following a staying-on success over C&D most recently, while Later Darling completes the shortlist.

A winner on return at Ripon, FULFILLED again ran well without being seen to best effect when fourth at Beverley 2 weeks ago, the steady gallop not ideal. He remains one to be interested in and gets the nod to resume progress here. Star From Afarhh can emerge as the chief threat.

LADY ARWEN comes here in excellent form and is 1lb lower than when second in a big-field Curragh handicap recently. Her winning form is on good ground but she has placed on soft and competes from a career-low rating under her 5lb claimer. Starting Monday is ideally suited by soft but while in form, might prefer a mile nowadays and is winless since March 2021. Dragon Of Malta hasn't won since September 2021 but excels on easy ground. He was well held here 10 days ago but that was his reappearance and he can progress. Reappearing Royal Pippen has winning C&D form on heavy but hasn't won since August 2021. Run The Jewels makes his reappearance but is also well suited by testing ground.

STARTING MONDAY responded well to this headgear when runner-up at Cork and can end his losing run now dipped below his last winning mark. Lady Arwen made a positive start for this yard when runner-up in a big field at the Curragh so is feared most ahead of Gegenpressing.

Perhaps LADY ARWEN can make up for narrow defeats the last twice and get her head in front on second start for this yard.

Another to consider is Sera Dawn, who has scored on two of her last three outings.

Having resumed winning ways on her penultimate start, ANGLE LAND was far from disgraced when sixth in the 'Dash' at Epsom 3 weeks ago, and with her rider taking off a handy 5 lb, she could be worth siding with. The hat-trick seeking Lil Guff and May Blossom can also feature.

The relatively unexposed Blue Antares can give her plenty to think about, while Raincloud completes the shortlist.

RAINCLOUD again wasn't seen to best effect at Yarmouth last time, doing too much too soon, and is worth another chance. Dovena is next best ahead of Fen Tiger.

OPERATIC ARTIST is an unexposed three-year-old who is by Zoffany, so should handle soft ground. Well related and a half-sister to a Listed winner, she has already raced twice on easy ground and having run well on Leopardstown handicap debut recently, is open to further progression and competes from the same rating. Six-time winner Mary Salome is just 1lb higher than when winning at Roscommon (Silken Ladder was fourth) and while vulnerable to unexposed types, should get involved. Independent Expert has been running well but doesn't look ahead of the handicapper. Lady Lunette debuts in handicaps and has yet to prove herself on easy ground.

None of these can be ruled out but OPERATIC ARTIST can race off the same mark as when a very good Leopardstown third so edges the vote. Mere Accountant is next on the list on the back of her good Naas fourth, with course-winner Mary Salome another in the mix in a competitve event.

OPERATIC ARTIST is by a sire whose progeny excel on easy ground and that can help her get off the mark.

CHATURANGA bolted up by over seven lengths on debut at Redcar over 6f, for which he now has to carry a 6lb penalty as he takes a step up in distance. The son of Invincible Army probably wouldn't need to improve on that display on only his second start to come out on top in this contest. The main threat might be Nellie Leylax, who failed to justify favouritism last time at Pontefract, but the ground may have been too quick and he could be worth another chance. Newcomer Tasmanian Legend completes the shortlist.

CHATURANGA looked a good prospect when justifying strong support at Redcar last month and is taken to defy a penalty. The other penalised-winner Nellie Leylax is worth another chance to confirm debut promise so is feared most.

Vaha appeals most of those who have raced to date having stepped forward from his debut at Goodwood to finish fourth at Salisbury. The step up a furlong is likely to benefit him, but he faces an interesting newcomer in the shape of NEW KINGS ROAD. He cost 72,000 euros at the Tattersalls Ireland yearling sale in September and represents top connections, so it would be no surprise to see him make an instant impact. Drink Dry and Faster Bee appeal most of the remainder.

PERECT SPRING was getting the hang of things towards the end of her Goodwood debut 8 days ago, not knocked about, and she may well improve enough to take this class 5, though New Kings Road is an interesting newcomer and market support for him would put a different slant on things.

BREEZY ZOFF's best form is on testing ground and she ran well over C&D recently. The going changed to soft mid-meeting then and a reproduction would give her every chance, with today's rider claiming an extra 7lb. Linger For Longer has been running well and has form at this distance, but has enough weight under her 7lb claimer. Six-time winner Khafaaq, also ridden by a 7lb claimer, is ground-versatile and should remain competitive. Barnhill Rose's winning form is on good but seems ground-versatile and is 5lb higher than when winning recently at Gowran. Stay Local likes soft and is suited by a mile but is a 10-race maiden, while six-time winner Miss Cunning returned to form on a recent course run. Lightly-raced Blue Peak won on a sound surface at Roscommon in May.

A whole host to consider, with in-form filly LINGER FOR LONGER taken to gain an overdue first win. Breezy Zoff and Stay Local are among the dangers.

A good few with decent claims but maybe Robert Whearty's 7lb claim can help BREEZY ZOFF register a second career victory

19:40 Haydock Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

MAGICAL MILE was found to have been struck into on his right hind when finishing fifth at Lingfield earlier in the month and is entitled to put that performance behind him and gain a first success of the season here. Aqwaam has shaped as if this drop to 1m2f could help him to see his race out with more verve and is feared most with the cheekpieces retained. Sea Grey and Aqwaam are others to note on their best form.

The vote goes to SEA GREY, who hasn't fired on all cylinders the last twice but he is of strong interest returned to the C&D over which he was a good second in April. Magical Mile s next on the list ahead of Golden Melody, while Tarbaan also needs a second look off this reduced mark.

David O'Meara's SEA GREY might be worth another chance back at the scene of his good reappearance second.

19:50 Lingfield Stakes (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

INTOXICATA took a step forward when scoring here on her handicap bow earlier this month and the extra furlong she encounters is likely to see her progress further. Endless Season finished third in a similar contest on the all-weather track here a fortnight ago and is capable of another decent showing, while No Such Luck appeals most of the remainder following her recent fourth at Windsor.

INTOXICATA comes here on the back of a comfortable Lingfield handicap success and is also favoured by these weights so gets a confident vote. In-form pair No Such Luck and Endless Season look the ones best equipped to challenge Ed Dunlop's filly and can chase her home in that order.

Unexposed filly INTOXICATA skipped clear to win a 7f AW handicap quite readily here 18 days ago and can make further progress.

20:00 Limerick Maiden 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

DUKE CADOR has first-time blinkers fitted, but has form and is proven on soft ground. From a top staying family and out of a half-sister to two Ascot Gold Cup winners, he was green on debut, subsequently performed well in a hot Gowran maiden, and also ran well at Leopardstown in April. Stepping up to this distance should suit this Irish Derby entry. Beechwood has been absent since November but ran well on debut in a smart Naas maiden. Out of a sister to a German 2,000 Guineas winner, she holds Irish Oaks and Irish St Leger entries and while proven on heavy ground, lacks race-fitness. Ikigai Star has shown promise but was no match for two capable types at Fairyhouse, although today's rider claims 5lb. Galileo's Compass might bump into a few too strong and would possibly prefer a sounder surface. Ethical Diamond finished ahead of Galileo's Compass, who was making his debut, at Roscommon. Well-related Fisherman's Beach is gelded on belated debut, while stablemate Acquest is a sibling to four winners and also debuts.

DUKE CADOR split a couple of useful sorts at Leopardstown on his reappearance and can come good with cheekpieces added now. Beechwood and Galileo's Compass look capable of better and may give the selection most to do unless the betting speaks in the favour of Joseph O'Brien newcomer Fisherman's Beach.

The form of the back-end Naas maiden in which EECHWOOD was a promising third has been handsomely advertised and she is taken to score

PEARL EYE didn't enjoy the best of passages when staying on into third at Pontefract earlier in the month and compensation could await now returned to the scene of his last success. Lillistar found only a progressive rival too good at Leicester over a fortnight ago and a 3lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid. The Charlton-trained filly may emerge as the main threat, ahead of Tremendous Times, who finished runner-up over C&D on his handicap debut last month.

PEARL EYE gained a first turf win here before running a cracker in defeat at Pontefract when conceding first run to the winner so looks the way to go. Handicap-debutant Letaba looks to have better days ahead of him and could emerge as the main threat, although in-form duo Tremendous Times and Lillistar could easily have a say too in an intriguing handicap.

Last month's 1m course winner PEARL EYE (nap) can take another step forward now upped in trip and he is preferred to Lillistar.

SWISS STAR showed plenty of promise on debut at Windsor, when keeping on well to finish third after a slow start, and she could improve a great deal for that experience, which makes her the one to side with. The Hughie Morrison-trained Tuki Tuki has to be considered after he hit the frame on debut at Newbury over 7f and could appreciate the drop in trip, while Turquoise Diamond could show a lot more than what he produced first time out in September.

SWISS STAR gets the nod to build on an encouraging first run at Windsor. The William Haggas-trained Turquoise Diamond could prove a different proposition to last year's debut and is second choice ahead of the more established Ardad's Great.

20:30 Limerick Handicap 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SCOTT LANG has proven form at this level, is race-fit and seems ground-versatile. He ran well in two big-field handicaps already this year, performed well over hurdles recently, and seems dependable at present. Milwaukee, whose dam was placed in a 1000 Guineas, showed promise on debut last year and while he has failed to build on that in two maiden runs this year, drops to handicaps now from a 78 rating. He has soft-ground form and runs in cheekpieces. War Correspondent was soundly enough beaten in a Listowel conditions race recently but had previously run well at Leopardstown, although he wouldn't like the ground to become too soft.

MILWAUKEE didn't look entirely straightforward in blinkers last time but it would still be no surprise to see him take a big step forward now handicapping in different headgear. En Or has caught the eye on both starts for his new yard since coming over from France and is second choice ahead of Paul Flynn's Scott Lang.

Having shaped like he needed the run on Irish bow at Sligo, EN OR has had a spin over hurdles since and can take this en route to Galway

20:40 Haydock Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

SUNGLASSES found only two younger rivals beyond her when finishing a respectable third on her reappearance at Goodwood earlier in the month and her opening mark of 82 appears workable. Cassy O is turned out quickly off the same rating after being just denied at Doncaster on Sunday and is an obvious threat. How Impressive continues to slide down the handicap and a latest 2lb drop may also see Hugo Palmer's gelding get involved.

CASSY O served notice that he's ready to strike again at Doncaster last weekend and is preferred to Sunglasses, who surely has more to offer now switching to handicaps after very promising efforts in maiden/novice company. Dual C&D winner Bowland Park is well treated on his best form and is one to note in the betting on his reappearance.

With the Mick Appleby team back in good form, a chance is taken on the well-handicapped ALEXANDER JAMES. Cassy O may follow him home

SAN FRANCISCO BAY scored by a length at Wolverhampton last time and he now goes off a 4lb higher mark for the Henry Candy stable, which may not be enough to prevent him from going in once more. One who could put it up to him is Lucky Mascot, who tries first-time cheekpieces and could be forgiven for his latest effort as the conditions may not have been ideal. He has to enter calculations along with Repartee.

SAN FRANCISCO BAY was firmly back on track when scoring at Wolverhampton and he's been rated higher in the past, so he's well worth a chance to follow up. Repartee is a big danger dropping in grade and Essme should give her running again.

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.
