14:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 4) 12f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
3 (3) (10/1 -11%) Terrorise	10 10/1(-11%)	(3) Terrorise 10/1, Showed much improved form sent handicapping when winning at Doncaster (10.2f) in May. Failed to repeat that effort at York and now tries a 2f longer trip. Impressed at Doncaster and it was a competitive Class 3 in which he struggled at York.
6 1st (6) (17/2 -31%) Tryfan	8.5 17/2(-31%)	(6) Tryfan 17/2, Fair third on 1¼m AW debut last autumn. Not seen to best effect on Beverley reappearance and ran to just a similar level when second in 12f minor event at Thirsk last time, hanging badly right entering straight. Into handicaps now and there's a sense we've yet to see the best of him. Has shown promise (including here) and he could be an improver now handicapping.
2 2nd (2) (7/4 +47%) Gulf Legend	1.75 7/4(+47%)	(2) Gulf Legend 7/4, Much improved from debut after 8 months off when third of 12 in 10f maiden at Newbury (good) in May. Shade disappointing in first-time cheekpieces at Haydock subsequently but obvious player if returning to his Newbury form on handicap debut. Improving and only overhauled late on by the odds-on favourite at Haydock; h'cap debut.
5 3rd (5) (25/1 -900%) Swordstick	25 25/1(-900%)	(5) Swordstick 25/1, Debut winner who ran his best race when third of 5 in handicap at Chester (10.3f, soft) 33 days ago, nearest finish. Step up in trip promises to suit. Kept on for third at Chester and this longer trip looks the right move; respected.
1 4th (1) (400/1 -3536%) Attila The Honey	400 400/1(-3536%)	(1) Attila The Honey 400/1, Landed back-to-back Southwell handicaps in the spring and was possibly unsuited by conditions when well held at Doncaster last time. Soft ground an excuse on turf debut and could resume progress back on this surface.
4 5th (4) (100/1 -5219%) Extra Beat	100 100/1(-5219%)	(4) Extra Beat 100/1, Displayed promise in novice events and took a marked step forward when winning 5-runner handicap at Haydock (10.2f, soft) 34 days ago, suited by increase in trip. Cheekpieces reached for now and may have more to offer over this still longer distance. First-time cheekpieces now on in this higher grade off a 4lb rise; hard to dismiss.

14:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

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

GULF LEGEND has improved with each start to date and opening mark of 80 may underestimate the son of Dubawi based on his second in novice company at Haydock earlier in the month. Extra Beat got off the mark on his handicap bow at the same venue and may improve further in first-time cheekpieces. The rest all need to progress to win but Swordstick is the pick of them.

EXTRA BEAT was well suited by the stamina test when scoring at Haydock last month and, with the still longer trip here likely to suit, he's fancied to follow up. Gulf Legend was a bit disappointing last time but can play a serious part if returning to his Newbury form on his handicap debut, while Swordstick is another to consider with 1½m sure to be in his favour.

A tight handicap. SWORDSTICK stuck to his guns when third at Chester and he looks ready for this step up in trip.

14:10 Nottingham Handicap (Class 5) 14f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (20/1 -233%) Le Rouge Chinois	20 20/1(-233%)	(2) Le Rouge Chinois 20/1, Winner at Lingfield in January. 12/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Kempton (16f) 15 days ago. Stable is right back amongst the winners lately and cheekpieces go on. Well held 15 days (without cheekpieces, which now return) and perhaps needed that run.
1 2nd (1) (9/1 -379%) Story Horse	9 9/1(-379%)	(1) Story Horse 9/1, Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Lingfield (11.6f, good to firm, 15/8) 5 days ago, readily. Obvious claims under a penalty but yet to prove himself fully over this trip. Off the mark at Lingfield (11.6f) five days ago, justifying favouritism in good style.
7 3rd (7) (25/1 -285%) Daaris	25 25/1(-285%)	(7) Daaris 25/1, C&D winner. 10/1, good second of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 28 days ago, running on. Visor on 1st time. Considered. Reliable sort who's been 2nd on AW last four outings, which is his best form; new headgear.
8 4th (8) (80/1 -700%) Tailorman	80 80/1(-700%)	(8) Tailorman 80/1, Thrice-raced maiden on Flat. Ninth of 13 in maiden (125/1) at Leicester (8.2f, good to soft) 23 days ago, hampered. Could get back on track now handicapping up in trip. Runner-up in two bumpers; market may guide now he's up to 1m6f for handicap debut.
6 5th (6) (50/1 -525%) Cherry Cola	50 50/1(-525%)	(6) Cherry Cola 50/1, C&D winner. 8/1, respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Bath (14f, good) 20 days ago, never nearer. Becoming well treated. Ran respectably three weeks ago; player if improving on that to return to best 2023 form.
4 6th (4) (100/1 -1718%) Star Legend	100 100/1(-1718%)	(4) Star Legend 100/1, 15/2, last of 7 in handicap at Newmarket (14f, good to firm) 5 days ago. Hood on 1st time on the Flat (on when winning over jumps). Not one to write off. Last of seven at Newmarket on Saturday; a hood returns in place of the recent cheekpieces.
5 7th (5) (66/1 -1220%) Mandega	66 66/1(-1220%)	(5) Mandega 66/1, Creditable third of 8 in novice hurdle at Cartmel (17.2f, soft, 7/1) 29 days ago. Fair on the Flat, ran well at Doncaster on latest outing in this sphere. Should be on the premises. Ran creditably last month at Doncaster (1m4f) and Cartmel (2m1f novice hurdle).
3 8th (3) (50/1 -213%) Alpine Stroll	50 50/1(-213%)	(3) Alpine Stroll 50/1, C&D winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. 40/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (16.6f). Off 172 days. First run for yard after leaving Alexandra Dunn. Others more appealing. AW may excuse his two runs last winter for Alexandra Dunn; another trainer change since.

14:10 Nottingham Handicap (Class 5) 14f Race Class Flow

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

STORY HORSE had plenty in hand when winning over an extended 1m3f at Lingfield last Saturday and the four-year-old is hard to oppose with his rider's claim negating his 5lb penalty. Daaris is likely to be a threat if he can transfer his recent all-weather form to the turf, while Mandega and Cherry Cola are others who merit a place on the shortlist.

A tricky contest in which it might be worth chancing that STAR LEGEND can bounce back from a poor effort with a hood on for the first time in this sphere. Story Horse is an obvious player under a penalty but there are reservations about his stamina, so Mandega may be the one to fear most.

Story Horse has the persuasive recent performance, but also a bit more to prove over this longer trip. ALPINE STROLL gets the vote.

14:20 Newmarket Stakes (Class 4) 6f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (13/8 -18%) Billboard Star	1.625 13/8(-18%)	(1) Billboard Star 13/8, Promising type. Third of 8 in novice event at Goodwood (6f, good to firm, 12/1) on debut 18 days ago, denied a clear run. Winners have come out of the race and he's sure to improve. Third on debut at Goodwood this month and that performance gives him leading claims here.
4 2nd (4) (66/1 -3200%) Praetorian	66 66/1(-3200%)	(4) Praetorian 66/1, Promising sort. 10/3, third of 16 in maiden at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) on debut 34 days ago. Should progress given yard he represents so has to be taken seriously. Favourite when third of 16 on debut at Pontefract and he holds solid claims.
7 3rd (7) (80/1 -21%) Silver Ghost	80 80/1(-21%)	(7) Silver Ghost 80/1, 50/1, tenth of 13 in maiden at Goodwood (6f, good) on debut 13 days ago, very slowly away. Half-sister to seven winners but soundly beaten at 50-1 on recent debut at Goodwood.
8 4th (8) (50/1 -400%) Ziggy's Ariel	50 50/1(-400%)	(8) Ziggy's Ariel 50/1, Foaled January 6. €50,000 2-y-o, Inns of Court filly. Half-sister to 6f winner Quiet Street. Dam of little account, half-sister to useful 2-y-o 6f winner Natalie's Joy. 50,000euros 2yo breeze-ups; trainer does well with 2yos; could have part to play on debut.
5 5th (5) (80/1 -2567%) Twilight Ballet	80 80/1(-2567%)	(5) Twilight Ballet 80/1, Promising sort. Third of 10 in maiden at Lingfield (5f, good, 6/1) on debut 17 days ago, running on. Up in trip, which seems sure to suit and he's open to progress. Kept on for 3rd on debut over 5f at Lingfield; the step up to 6f could prompt improvement.
3 6th (3) (100/1 -525%) Ghostman	100 100/1(-525%)	(3) Ghostman 100/1, Foaled February 15. 32,000 gns foal, 23,000 gns yearling, Dandy Man colt. Dam, 2-y-o 7f winner, half-sister to useful 1¼m-1¾m winner London Bridge. Sixth foal; dam 7f 2yo winner (RPR 85); needs to run to a decent standard on debut.
6 7th (6) (80/1 -142%) Toy Soldier	80 80/1(-142%)	(6) Toy Soldier 80/1, 33/1, eleventh of 15 in maiden at Windsor (6f, good to firm) on debut 38 days ago. Showed pace on debut at Windsor but soundly beaten and needs sizeable step forward.
9 8th (9) (251/1 -280%) Sopelana	251 251/1(-280%)	(9) Sopelana 251/1, 18/1, sixth of 8 in maiden at Leicester (7f, good) on debut 12 days ago. Sent off 18-1 and beaten 15l when sixth of eight on recent debut at Leicester.
2 9th (2) (80/1 -60%) Clever Jack	80 80/1(-60%)	(2) Clever Jack 80/1, Foaled February 12. €25,000 foal, 60,000 gns yearling, Starspangledbanner colt. Brother to useful winner around 1m James McHenry and half-brother to 1m winner Rockbury Lad. Too green to show much starting out at Newbury. Potential in his pedigree but he was well beaten at 66-1 on recent debut at Newbury.

14:20 Newmarket Stakes (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

PRAETORIAN may have let favourite-backers down when third at Pontefract, but the performance has been boosted by subsequent displays of the front two, with the winner finishing fourth to Shareholder at Beverley and the runner-up going one better at Carlisle before taking sixth in the Chesham. Archie Watson's colt is a confident selection on that basis, although Twilight Ballet and Billboard Star also made the frame on debut and could be dangerous. Ziggy's Ariel is worth a glance in the market.

BILLBOARD STAR showed plenty when third on debut at Goodwood 3 weeks ago and with a couple behind that day successful since, the form has a solid look to it. Praetorian is also open to progress and is a threat, along with Twilight Ballet.

With his debut Goodwood third working out nicely, BILLBOARD STAR earns the vote ahead of Twilight Ballet.

14:30 Newcastle Maiden (Class 5) 7f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
5 1st (5) (16/1 -60%) Registration	16 16/1(-60%)	(5) Registration 16/1, Foaled March 14. €12,000 foal, €8,500 yearling, Gregorian colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 1¾m winner Pepper Street and 2-y-o 1¼m winner Jack Jack. Related to 2yo winners in Italy and Spain; could be of interest if backed.
10 2nd (10) (10/1 -150%) What's She At	10 10/1(-150%)	(10) What's She At 10/1, Foaled April 1. €8,000 yearling, Arizona filly. Half-sister to smart 7f/1m winner Udododontu and 1m-1¼m winner Enzemble. Dam of little account. Makes plenty of appeal on paper with yard's 2-y-os firing again. Half-sister to winners Udododontu (7f/1m; RPR 107) and Enzemble (1m-1m2f inc AW/HK; 88).
8 3rd (8) (80/1 -627%) Magic Topissima	80 80/1(-627%)	(8) Magic Topissima 80/1, 22/1, tenth of 12 in seller at Chester (7f, good) on debut 13 days ago, very green. Always behind and beaten 8l in a 7f seller at Chester for which she went off 22-1.
6 4th (6) (100/1 -203%) Smithy	100 100/1(-203%)	(6) Smithy 100/1, Foaled April 18. €8,000 yearling, Kessaar gelding. Brother to winner up to 1¼m Kaaress. Dam 7f/1m winner. 8,000euros yearling; third foal; brother to 8.6f-1m2f winner Kaaress (inc 2yo/AW; RPR 75).
2 5th (2) (18/1 -2366%) Brastias	18 18/1(-2366%)	(2) Brastias 18/1, Mondialiste colt. Dam half-sister to smart 1½m winner (stayed 15f) Lord Yeats out of useful 1¼m-13f winner (stayed 2¼m) Bogside Theatre. 40/1, sixth of 8 in maiden at Haydock (7f, firm) on debut 5 days ago, not clear run. Longer trips will suit but he'll improve and is a big player in this. Sixth of eight but only beaten 4l last weekend at Haydock in a Class 2 maiden.
9 6th (9) (250/1 -900%) Newton Lass	250 250/1(-900%)	(9) Newton Lass 250/1, Foaled February 8. 14,000 gns yearling, Kessaar filly. Dam unraced half-sister to smart winner up to 1m (stayed 12.5f) Lustrous. Dam unraced half-sister to 6f 2yo Group 3 winner Melody Of Love and Listed winner Lustrous.
4 7th (4) (400/1 -2757%) Mayor Of Maghera	400 400/1(-2757%)	(4) Mayor Of Maghera 400/1, Foaled March 29. €8,000 foal, €9,000 yearling, Kessaar colt. Half-brother to winner up to 1¼m Stolen Glory and 2-y-o 6f winner Nikki Swango. Dam twice-raced half-sister to smart German 6f/7f winner Donnerschlag. One to note on debut. 9,000euros yearling; fifth foal; half-brother to winner Nikki Swango (6f AW 2yo; RPR 81).
7 8th (7) (300/1 -2627%) Testimonial	300 300/1(-2627%)	(7) Testimonial 300/1, Time Test colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 7f/1m winner Irreverent and 2-y-o 6f winner Deb's Delight. 33/1, fourth of 8 in maiden at Leicester (7f, good) on debut 12 days ago, slowly away. Looked in need of the experience at Leicester (7f) but he still needed to show more.
3 9th (3) (100/1 -1011%) Kissing Strangers	100 100/1(-1011%)	(3) Kissing Strangers 100/1, 8,000 gns yearling, Inns of Court colt. Half-brother to 7f winner Kodiac Brown Bear. Fifth of 8 in maiden at Leicester (7f, good, 20/1) on debut 12 days ago. Needs to improve. Finished upside Testimonial when both were well held in a modest maiden at Leicester.
1 10th (1) (350/1 -250%) Benjamin Brodie	350 350/1(-250%)	(1) Benjamin Brodie 350/1, Foaled February 9. Cable Bay gelding. Dam, of little account, half-sister to smart winner up to 7f Deposer. Gelded ahead of debut and he wouldn't be the obvious answer to this.

14:30 Newcastle Maiden (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

BRASTIAS was not disgraced when sixth on his debut over 7f at Haydock on Saturday and he could be hard to beat with the benefit of that experience. Kissing Strangers (fifth) and Testimonial (fourth) were only separated by a short head on their respective debuts at Leicester and have to be of interest, while any market support for What's She At would have to be noted.

Not a strong-looking maiden and it would be no surprise to see WHAT'S SHE AT make a successful start for Archie Watson. Brastias will surely benefit from further but can build on Saturday's Haydock introduction and take a hand. Mayor of Maghera is another newcomer to note and the betting should be revealing.

It was a Class 2 maiden last weekend at Haydock in which BRASTIAS shaped with significant promise during a troubled run.

14:40 Nottingham Maiden (Class 5) 6f - 16 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
16 1st (16) (25/1 +24%) Scatter Penny	25 25/1(+24%)	(16) Scatter Penny 25/1, Foaled April 6. €8,000 foal, Elarqam filly. Half-sister to French winner up to 8.2f Nuitsblanches. Dam, US 6f winner, sister to smart 2-y-o 4.5f-6f winner Penny's Picnic. Likely to need the experience. Niece of a French 6f juvenile Group 2 winner; no winning 2yo newcomers among siblings.
6 2nd (6) (12/1 -20%) Glitterati	12 12/1(-20%)	(6) Glitterati 12/1, Once-raced colt. 20/1, sixth of 11 in maiden at Chelmsford City (6f) on debut 21 days ago. Open to progress and not one to rule out. Trapped wide before fading but still promise on this month's Polytrack debut; do better.
11 3rd (11) (50/1 -52%) Perfidia	50 50/1(-52%)	(11) Perfidia 50/1, Twice-raced colt. 20/1, sixth of 10 in maiden at Leicester (7f, good) 12 days ago. Over 6l behind Chesneys Charm at Leicester latest (7f, good to soft), again racing green.
5 4th (5) (16/1 -256%) Enchanted Eye	16 16/1(-256%)	(5) Enchanted Eye 16/1, Twice-raced gelding. Sixth of 10 in maiden at Chelmsford City (6f, 13/2) 21 days ago, not knocked about. Debut was encouraging and he remains with potential back on a sounder surface. Windsor debut sixth sets the standard on RPRs; troubled latest run perhaps best ignored.
3 5th (3) (50/1 -456%) Bobby Jones	50 50/1(-456%)	(3) Bobby Jones 50/1, Thrice-raced gelding. Fifth of 10 in maiden (10/1) at Wetherby (5.5f, good to soft) 16 days ago. More required. Return to 6f looks needed judged on Wetherby latest; would appeal more in nurseries.
7 6th (7) (12/1 -300%) Green Icon	12 12/1(-300%)	(7) Green Icon 12/1, Foaled April 10. €9,000 yearling, Showcasing colt. Brother to useful winner up to 7f Bravado and half-brother to 1m/8.3f winner Shaladar. Dam 2-y-o 7.5f winner. One to take seriously on debut. Brother to a debutant 6f juvenile winner; dam also won at 2; starts at a realistic level.
15 7th (15) (66/1 -560%) Rose Of New Jersey	66 66/1(-560%)	(15) Rose Of New Jersey 66/1, Once-raced filly. 11/2, eighth of 10 in maiden at Redcar (6f, soft) on debut 30 days ago, very slowly away. Poor start and too fractious on her Redcar debut (6f, soft), probably capable of better.
9 8th (9) (66/1 -65%) Monticristo Boy	66 66/1(-65%)	(9) Monticristo Boy 66/1, Once-raced gelding. 40/1, fifth of 9 in maiden at Wetherby (5.5f, good to soft) on debut 16 days ago. Over 6l fifth of nine on Wetherby debut (5.5f); more needed, though longer trip is a plus.
4 9th (4) (40/1 -1678%) Chesneys Charm	40 40/1(-1678%)	(4) Chesneys Charm 40/1, Promising individual. 4/1, fourth of 10 in maiden at Leicester (7f, good) on debut 12 days ago, slowly away. Open to improvement in a first-time visor and makes most appeal. Slowly away, ran green on Leicester debut but still promising; can cope with drop to 6f.
10 10th (10) (80/1 -21%) Mr Ubiquitous	80 80/1(-21%)	(10) Mr Ubiquitous 80/1, Once-raced colt. 50/1, last of 9 in minor event at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) on debut 31 days ago. 25l last of nine on debut at Yarmouth (7f), shorter trip does seem the way to go for now.
12 11th (12) (100/1 -2122%) Rex Carver	100 100/1(-2122%)	(12) Rex Carver 100/1, Thrice-raced gelding. 7/1, fourth of 14 in seller at York (6f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Contender on his Redcar debut second (6f); ground maybe against him both times since.
2 12th (2) (100/1 -400%) Ballsgrove Boy	100 100/1(-400%)	(2) Ballsgrove Boy 100/1, Once-raced colt. Ninth of 11 in maiden at Chelmsford City (6f, 12/1) on debut 21 days ago. Up against it. Over 8l ninth on this month's Chelmsford debut (6f), pulling and hanging throughout.
13 13th (13) (125/1 -25%) Westgate Warrior	125 125/1(-25%)	(13) Westgate Warrior 125/1, Once-raced gelding. 66/1, eleventh of 13 in maiden at Thirsk (5f, soft) on debut 54 days ago. Up in trip. Always behind on May's Thirsk debut (5f, good to soft); one for longer trips later on.
1 14th (1) (200/1 -100%) Ardads Dream	200 200/1(-100%)	(1) Ardads Dream 200/1, Once-raced gelding. Ninth of 10 in maiden at Leicester (7f, good, 50/1) on debut 12 days ago, slowly away. 50-1, 21l ninth of ten on this month's Leicester debut (7f), not working it all out.
8 15th (8) (100/1 -203%) Hype Merchant	100 100/1(-203%)	(8) Hype Merchant 100/1, Twice-raced gelding. Eighth of 10 in maiden (9/1) at Redcar (6f, good) 38 days ago. Plenty to find. Offered less second time up than first; hopes rest on a positive reaction to gelding.
14 16th (14) (150/1 -50%) Marrakesh Dawn	150 150/1(-50%)	(14) Marrakesh Dawn 150/1, Twice-raced filly. 125/1, eighth of 9 in maiden at Kempton (7f) 15 days ago. Broke better than on debut but too fractious to last home at Kempton latest (7f).

14:40 Nottingham Maiden (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

CHESNEYS CHARM showed plenty of promise when filling fourth place on his racecourse bow at Leicester 12 days ago and Michael Bell's colt gets the vote on the back of that performance. Rex Carver also has the ability to go well but may lack the scope for improvement the selection has. Others to consider are Enchanted Eye, Glitterati and Green Icon.

CHESNEYS CHARM offered something to work on when fourth in a maiden at Leicester and, with that experience likely to bring him forward, he may well be up to opening his account now fitted with a visor. Enchanted Eye is the danger on form and Green Icon appeals as an interesting newcomer.

There's enough encouragement on paper to hope GREEN ICON can register Owen Burrows' first 2yo 2024 win, ahead of Chesneys Charm.

14:50 Newmarket Handicap (Class 5) 12f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
3 (3) (40/1 -60%) Cosmic View	40 40/1(-60%)	(3) Cosmic View 40/1, Yet to score and he came in only tenth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 106 days ago. Others appeal more. Displayed ability last year but he's regressed and is now 0-14; returns from a break.
6 1st (6) (9/2 +25%) Campaign Medal	4.5 9/2(+25%)	(6) Campaign Medal 9/2, Fair maiden. Tongue tied when posting a good third of 6 in handicap at Haydock (10.2f, firm) 20 days ago. Cheekpieces on now and needs considering with this longer distance a likely plus. Yet to threaten but well bred and in top hands; could take big step forward at some stage.
5 2nd (5) (7/2 +30%) Secret Beach	3.5 7/2(+30%)	(5) Secret Beach 7/2, Lightly-raced maiden who had tongue strap on for 1st time when a very good fourth of 13 in handicap at Goodwood (9.9f, good) 13 days ago, faring best of those held up. Can go well again stepped up in trip. Kept on for 4th over 1m2f on handicap debut and today's trip could prompt further progress.
4 3rd (4) (33/1 -2540%) Starshine Legend	33 33/1(-2540%)	(4) Starshine Legend 33/1, Promising Sea The Stars gelding who had cheekpieces on for 1st time when going in on his handicap debut at Catterick (12.1f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Well on top at the finish there so leading claims despite a 5 lb rise. Won on handicap debut at Catterick and this unexposed 3yo is bred to do better still.
2 4th (2) (28/1 -75%) Polar Princess	28 28/1(-75%)	(2) Polar Princess 28/1, Winner at Newcastle in February but tongue strap on for 1st time when last of 9 in handicap at Catterick (12.1f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Won at Newcastle (AW) in February but below par on her three runs since.
1 5th (1) (100/1 -4344%) Gold Aura	100 100/1(-4344%)	(1) Gold Aura 100/1, Still a maiden but he posted a good second of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to soft) 15 days ago. In the mix despite taking a 2 lb weights rise. 0-15 but running well and beaten just a head at Yarmouth last time; could be thereabouts.

14:50 Newmarket Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

STARSHINE LEGEND was strong in the market when attempting to leave his three qualifying runs behind him on his handicap bow at Catterick and didn't disappoint, relishing the step up to this trip to score with a little bit up his sleeve. The runner-up has since gone one better to frank the form, and James Ferguson's gelding can follow suit. Gold Aura will surely get a deserved win on the board soon, although she is being punished for her consistency and perhaps Campaign Medal, in first-time cheekpieces, is the primary threat.

STARSHINE LEGEND took his form up a level when making a winning handicap bow at Catterick and can make light of a 5lb weight rise with more to come from this son of Sea The Stars. Secret Beach looks the one to give James Ferguson's gelding most to do now his stamina is unlocked more, although in-form pair Campaign Medal and Gold Aura can have a say too in an intriguing handicap.

190,000euros yearling STARSHINE LEGEND made a winning start in handicaps at Catterick this month and is taken to follow up.

Dam once-raced half-sister to useful 1¾m/15f winner Yangtze out of smart winner up to 14.6f (2-y-o 7f winner) Hi Calypso. 22/1, sixth of 9 in maiden at Carlisle (5.8f, soft) on debut 10 days ago, green. Up in trip. Minor form on 6f debut; pedigree suggests he'll do better with a greater stamina test.
8 2nd (8) (5/1 -25%) In A Hurry	5 5/1(-25%)	(8) In A Hurry 5/1, Foaled March 18. Time Test filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 7.4f winner Mindset. Dam, winner up to 9f (2-y-o 7f winner), half-sister to useful winner up to 1½m Teofonic. Makes plenty of appeal on paper. Dam and a sibling won at about 7f as juveniles; yard 7-104 with 2yos on AW track here.
1 3rd (1) (40/1 +60%) Bebside	40 40/1(+60%)	(1) Bebside 40/1, Twice-raced colt. 50/1, sixth of 7 at Beverley (7.4f, good to soft) 9 days ago. One for the longer term. Big prices and always in rear for both turf starts, over 6f and an extended 7f; unlikely.
4 4th (4) (250/1 -6150%) Louie The Legend	250 250/1(-6150%)	(4) Louie The Legend 250/1, Foaled April 6. €8,000 yearling, Make Believe colt. Half-brother to 1m winner Bint Elmalek, from the family of high-class winner up to 1m Bahri and very smart 2-y-o 7f winner (stayed 1¼m) Bahhare. Yard can ready one (had the Brocklesby winner) and he's got to be respected. 8,000euros yearling; excellent pedigree; yard can get them ready first time; check market.

Ninth of 10 in maiden at Redcar (6f, good, 50/1) on debut 38 days ago. 50-1 for 6f Redcar debut where always behind after getting hampered at the start; unlikely.

Fifth of 10 in maiden (12/1) at Leicester (7f, good) on debut 12 days ago. Entitled to improve. 12-1 for 7f debut at Leicester, faded after making the running; likely to improve.

Promising debut over 6f; can improve for the experience and 7f; yard in form.

15:00 Newcastle Maiden (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

WEDADI showed plenty of promise when fifth in a competitive event over 7f at Leicester on her debut 12 days ago and that performances suggests that she is the one to beat here. However, Heartened outran odds of 100/1 to fill third place on her racecourse bow at Pontefract and Ollie Pears' filly should not be discounted. In A Hurry and Louie The Legend are the pick of the newcomers.

This can go to a newcomer, with LOUIE THE LEGEND, In A Hurry and Kings Square preferred in that order on paper before market clues.

Those with experience don't set the bar too high but HEARTENED looks sure to improve on her mild debut promise now upped to 7f.

15:10 Nottingham Stakes (Class 5) 10f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
6 (6) (9/1 -20%) Muqinah	9 9/1(-20%)	(6) Muqinah 9/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fifth of 10 in minor event at Salisbury (9.9f, heavy, 4/1) 42 days ago. Should improve. Latest start was more than sole 2yo effort but she still needs much better.
2 (2) (50/1 -100%) Arctic Sunrise	50 50/1(-100%)	(2) Arctic Sunrise 50/1, Twice-raced maiden. Eighth of 11 in minor event (40/1) at Haydock (7f, good) 21 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Sole run as 2yo was low-level form and this month's reappearance (7f, good) was modest.
4 1st (4) (4/1 -382%) Blessed Honour	4 4/1(-382%)	(4) Blessed Honour 4/1, Promising type. Second of 6 in minor event (11/4) at Newmarket (12f, good) 40 days ago. Has the best form and there's more to come, so will take all the beating. Second of six from off the pace at Newmarket (1m4f, good) gives her a good form chance.
1 2nd (1) (5/2 +9%) Power Of Destiny	2.5 5/2(+9%)	(1) Power Of Destiny 5/2, Won 13-runner maiden (6/1) at Haydock (10.2f, good) 21 days ago, always holding on. Probably has more to come but might find it tough giving a penalty away to Blessed Honour. Promising at Salisbury (1m2f, soft) three weeks before narrow win at Haydock (1m2f, good).
5 3rd (5) (66/1 -1220%) Daylight Chorus	66 66/1(-1220%)	(5) Daylight Chorus 66/1, Once-raced maiden. Fourth of 12 in minor event at Chelmsford City (10f, 25/1) on debut 21 days ago, slowly away. Likely big improver, so definitely of interest. 25-1 at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) three weeks ago but showed ability in fourth of 12.
3 4th (3) (66/1 -65%) Biznieta Power	66 66/1(-65%)	(3) Biznieta Power 66/1, Once-raced maiden. Eighth of 9 in minor event (25/1) at Leicester (10f, good to soft) on debut 31 days ago. 25-1, beaten nearly 30l in novice at Leicester (1m2f, good to soft) one month ago.

15:10 Nottingham Stakes (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Power Of Destiny confirmed her debut promise when getting off the mark at Haydock three weeks ago and has to be of interest. However, she may struggle to give 7lb to BLESSED HONOUR, who took a big step forward when a close second to a stablemate over 1m4f at Newmarket. The drop in trip should help the daughter of Dubawi and she remains open to further progression. Daylight Chorus is another to consider.

BLESSED HONOUR shaped best behind a stablemate at Newmarket last time and she's likely to go on progressing, so she's an obvious choice to get the better of Daylight Chorus, who was doing some good late work at Chelmsford. Power of Destiny, the only winner in the field, is another one to bear in mind.

This is between BLESSED HONOUR and Power Of Destiny, who could both turn out to be pretty useful but the latter has to give 7lb.

5 1st (5) (10/3 -11%) Waleefy	3.333333 10/3(-11%)	(5) Waleefy 10/3, Night of Thunder half-brother to Baaeed and Hukum. Placed in novices at Lingfield and Newcastle but found only minor promise switched to turf when fourth of 14 in 7f maiden at Leicester 47 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Tongue strap on for handicap debut. More required. Hasn't lived up to illustrious pedigree but possible improver now sprinting on h'cap debut.
1 2nd (1) (10/3 -48%) Drama	3.333333 10/3(-48%)	(1) Drama 10/3, Proved better than ever in first-time cheekpieces when winning 10-runner handicap at Kempton (6f) 15 days ago, staying on to lead final 50 yds. 3 lb rise may not be enough to prevent the follow up. Back on song with a win at Kempton a fortnight ago; strong claims if repeating that form.
4 3rd (4) (9/1 +10%) Maximum Impact	9 9/1(+10%)	(4) Maximum Impact 9/1, Won first 2 starts in 2023 but has gone the wrong way since, including in handicaps this year. Plenty to prove. Soundly beaten this spring in his two handicaps; gelded since; needs to turn things around.
6 4th (6) (13/2 -136%) Infinity Blue	6.5 13/2(-136%)	(6) Infinity Blue 13/2, Fair maiden who shaped well on the back of a breathing operation when second of 12 in handicap at Chester (6.1f, good) 13 days ago, albeit no match for winner. Hood on for 1st time and must enter calculations. 0-7 but back to form when second at Chester recently and he's on the shortlist.
3 5th (3) (80/1 -900%) Nazalan	80 80/1(-900%)	(3) Nazalan 80/1, 2-y-o winner who ran below form when third of 5 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft, 15/2) 31 days ago. Needs to better recent efforts. Hasn't really threatened in his 3 handicaps but not written off now back on better ground.
2 6th (2) (50/1 -614%) Bengurion	50 50/1(-614%)	(2) Bengurion 50/1, Invincible Army filly who won only start as a 2-y-o and improved to make it 2-2 under a penalty on return in 11-runner Kempton novice (7f) in May, displaying a likeable attitude. Ran poorly on turf/handicap debut at Hamilton, however. Won first two starts (both AW) then well beaten on turf/handicap debut; something to prove.

15:25 Newmarket Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

As a half-brother to superstar Baaeed and King George hero Hukum, WALEEFY is always going to attract a certain degree of attention. He has shown glimpses of the family talent in his three starts to far, for all that he has gone down as favourite on each occasion, and an initial mark of 76 should be well within range. Bearing in mind what his illustrious siblings achieved, 6f could be on the sharp side and if he does lack the required pace, recent Kempton winner Drama should be well up to capitalising. Maximum Impact has slipped to an interesting mark.

DRAMA proved better than ever in first-time cheekpieces when edging a tight finish at Kempton 15 days ago and a 3 lb rise may not be enough to prevent the follow up providing the headgear continues to have the same effect. Infinity Blue shaped well on the back of a breathing operation at Chester recently and is second choice.

Preference is for INFINITY BLUE who returned to form with a good second at Chester last time. Drama is a danger.

May well do better given he'll know more this time. Only 6th at Haydock but went off favourite; probably capable of a whole lot better.
2 5th (2) (300/1 -5355%) Atomic Mass	300 300/1(-5355%)	(2) Atomic Mass 300/1, Promise on debut at York (form working out very well) but not in the same form when seventh of 11 in maiden back at that venue 12 days ago. Both runs over 6f on good to soft at York, with his debut effort the more notable.

Open to improvement. Fifth at Nottingham behind the classy Kassaya; this longer trip should benefit.
1 9th (1) (80/1 +20%) Acrisius	80 80/1(+20%)	(1) Acrisius 80/1, Foaled March 5. Ardad gelding. Half-brother to 7f winner Ratafia and winner up to 1m Copper Mountain. Dam, 5f-7f winner, half-sister to smart sprinter Shabaaby. Positive pedigree; gelded ahead of debut and stable's newcomers best watched.

15:35 Newcastle Stakes (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

VEYDARI's 200,000gns price tag at the Craven Breeze-Ups didn't go unnoticed because he was sent off a warm favourite for his Haydock introduction. Although he had to settle for sixth, the experience won't be lost on him and the form of that race appears decent. Commander Atkinson offered encouragement at Nottingham, while Atomic Mass's York debut was better than his second performance on the Knavesmire. Bowen Island cost 80,000 euros as a yearling and is the pick of the newcomers.

VEYDARI failed to justify strong support on debut at Haydock 3 weeks ago but it was by no means an effort devoid of promise and he'll surely know more this time. He looks the way to go, for all Commander Atkinson caught the eye on debut, while Fred On Fire is perhaps the pick of the newcomers.

Richard Fahey's VEYDARI warrants another chance as there appeared to be plenty of confidence behind him at Haydock.

The available evidence suggests that he's more of a force on the AW. Both wins on AW, latest of 1m in January; well held on rare turf run in April.
3 2nd (3) (5/1 +50%) Red Treasure	5 5/1(+50%)	(3) Red Treasure 5/1, Seventh of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, soft, 12/1) 36 days ago. Hopes here pinned on the addition of blinkers sparking some improvement. Mixed since 7f win last June but 9lb lower and may do better back at 1m on good to firm.
2 3rd (2) (33/1 -408%) Terries Royale	33 33/1(-408%)	(2) Terries Royale 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 9 in maiden at this C&D (good, 125/1) 37 days ago. Needs to raise his game now pitched into a handicap but yard in fine form. Unraced until February; gathered experience in 3 runs; of more interest now handicapping.
1 4th (1) (11/1 -120%) Taravara	11 11/1(-120%)	(1) Taravara 11/1, One win from 27 Flat runs. 12/1, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at this course (10.2f, good) 22 days ago. 1 lb lower here and he's in with an each-way shout. Sole win at 1m on AW; 0-11 on turf but likes fast ground and suited by the return to 1m.
7 5th (7) (8/1 -33%) Armoured	8 8/1(-33%)	(7) Armoured 8/1, Winner at Newcastle in January. 7/2, seventh of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f). Off 96 days and needs to get back on track. Improved for wind surgery, winning over 1m on AW in January; involved back at this trip.
4 6th (4) (28/1 -180%) Windsor Pass	28 28/1(-180%)	(4) Windsor Pass 28/1, Remains a maiden after 20 Flat runs. Ninth of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft, 22/1) 31 days ago. Likely to find a few of these too good. Maiden; some close calls at 7f and 1m in Ireland; will be suited by today's quicker ground.
8 7th (8) (40/1 -627%) Lunarscape	40 40/1(-627%)	(8) Lunarscape 40/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 18/1, respectable fifth of 15 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 90 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Difficult 3yo season but better treated now and only just failed in latest 1m attempt (AW).
9 8th (9) (100/1 -1438%) Lunanera	100 100/1(-1438%)	(9) Lunanera 100/1, 9/1, below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 17 days ago. Looks vulnerable from a win point of view. Now 5lb lower than 1m win on good to firm last summer; mostly struggled since.
5 9th (5) (100/1 -3536%) Covert Legend	100 100/1(-3536%)	(5) Covert Legend 100/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in April. Twelfth of 16 in handicap (22/1) at Thirsk (8f, good to firm) 40 days ago, not much room. Tongue strap back on and he's a must for the shortlist. Recaptured form since wind op, winning on AW and had a shocking run on turf latest.

15:45 Nottingham Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

There was more encouragement to take from TARAVARA's latest fourth over 1m2f here and the drop in distance/class should help. Simon Pearce's gelding appears to have been found a suitable opportunity to land a first success on turf. The biggest threat may be posed by Lunarscape, who was a solid fifth at Chelmsford when last seen, while first-time blinkers could result in an improved bid from Red Treasure.

The vote goes to COVERT LEGEND, who was caught in a cul-de-sac at a crucial stage at Thirsk last month and he is appealing off the same mark. Lunarscape could be the one to follow him home, with Taravara also accorded respect.

This can go to COVERT LEGEND (nap) who has been all the better for wind surgery, winning on the AW before having a terrible run on turf.

Seventh of 13 in maiden (9/1) at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) on debut 15 days ago, unable to sustain effort after travelling well. Should have more to offer.

Offered something to work when fifth of 12 in maiden (40/1) at Nottingham (8.3f, good) on debut 25 days ago. May well do better. Has a useful pedigree and there can be optimism she'll improve upon her encouraging debut.
3 7th (3) (250/1 -279%) Explosively	250 250/1(-279%)	(3) Explosively 250/1, Expert Eye filly. Ran a moody race in first-time visor when fourth of 5 in maiden at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Can't be fancied after that. Down the field on sole 2yo outing and same story on recent reappearance.
4 8th (4) (200/1 -203%) Hallie Angel	200 200/1(-203%)	(4) Hallie Angel 200/1, Harry Angel filly. Half-sister to several winners, notably smart 6f winner Staxton. Only poor form in 2 outings to date and will have more chance when handicapping. 33-1 then 50-1 on first two starts, and soundly beaten each time.
7 9th (7) (100/1 -1150%) Swiss Cabaret	100 100/1(-1150%)	(7) Swiss Cabaret 100/1, Showcasing filly. Closely related to useful 1m winner Swiss Knight, and half-sister to useful 2-y-o 5f winner Poetry and 2-y-o 6f winner Poet. 17/2, eighth of 13 in maiden at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) on debut 15 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Should progress. Only eighth on recent debut but in top hands and could post much more of a threat today.

16:00 Newmarket Stakes (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Any market support for 265,000gns newcomer Heart Of The City must be noted, particularly considering how well George Boughey's string is faring at present. However, TAREEFA offered plenty to work with when fourth at Haydock earlier in the month and that race experience could prove crucial. Old Grey Whistle is also entitled to build on her opening fifth at Nottingham and she completes the shortlist.

TAREEFA produced a promising first effort and Haydock on debut and would likely have finished second had she enjoyed a clear run, so rates as the one to beat after such an encouraging debut. Old Grey Whistle also showed ability on her first outing and could prove the main danger, with expensive-newcomer Heart of The City also worth considering,

This could be a good opening for TAREEFA who displayed plenty of promise when fourth on her debut at Haydock three weeks ago.

16:10 Newcastle Handicap (Class 2) 8f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
12 1st (12) (15/8 +0%) Elnajmm	1.875 15/8(+0%)	(12) Elnajmm 15/8, Promising 4-y-o by Sea The Stars who struck in 3-runner maiden at Lingfield (9f) when last seen out 10 months ago. Returns on a good mark for his tapeta/handicap debut having been gelded. Big player. Lightly raced 4yo in top hands and can probably progress again; has been gelded.
8 2nd (8) (25/1 -39%) Catch The Paddy	25 25/1(-39%)	(8) Catch The Paddy 25/1, A fairly useful 7f scorer in 2023 but he's yet to fire this term, beating only one on each occasion at Newmarket and York. Others appeal more. Gelded after two poor runs this season and he's very light on AW experience.
10 3rd (10) (66/1 -200%) Austrian Theory	66 66/1(-200%)	(10) Austrian Theory 66/1, Scored over 8.5f at Epsom last June for Charlie Johnston. Changed hands for 22,000 gns before coming in only 13th for his new stable in 7f York handicap 12 days ago. Needs to take a step forward. Well down the field on debut for this stable in a 7f York handicap.
9 4th (9) (33/1 -313%) Farasi Lane	33 33/1(-313%)	(9) Farasi Lane 33/1, Had a good spell on AW since joining this yard and wasn't discredited when mid-field in a 15-runner Sandown handicap 12 days ago. Can't be dismissed. Entitled to run well but has no margin for error off current mark.
2 5th (2) (100/1 -1329%) Lattam	100 100/1(-1329%)	(2) Lattam 100/1, Failed to build on good reappearance second in the Lincoln at Doncaster for new yard when only eighth at Newbury (8f, good) 68 days ago. Took this 12 months ago though so can't be discounted. Won this last year for different yard; this season's Lincoln 2nd was a notable effort.
5 6th (5) (100/1 -1900%) Brunch	100 100/1(-1900%)	(5) Brunch 100/1, C&D winner who made a promising return when a strong-finishing fourth in 1m Nottingham handicap 25 days ago. Very good claims off an unchanged mark. Good mark and ran well in this last year; lots to like about reappearance effort.
3 7th (3) (200/1 -1329%) Helm Rock	200 200/1(-1329%)	(3) Helm Rock 200/1, C&D winner but he came in only eleventh of 15 in handicap (28/1) at Sandown (8f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Needs to bounce back. He could be sharper for Sandown (good race) which came after 166 days away.
6 8th (6) (100/1 -1076%) Navagio	100 100/1(-1076%)	(6) Navagio 100/1, A useful 1m/9,5f winner in Ireland and not discredited when fifth of 9 in handicap at Sandown (8f, soft) 35 days ago. Makes tapeta debut with tongue strap back on. Possibilities. Placed in this season's Lincoln but hasn't been able to kick on from there.
1 9th (1) (350/1 -2817%) Chichester	350 350/1(-2817%)	(1) Chichester 350/1, Better than ever on AW last winter and took form to another level when winning listed event at York in June. Signed off with a poor run in Superior Mile at Haydock in September for Charlie Johnston but he's the sort to bounce back for his new yard. Absent since September and it's never going to be easy off his inflated mark.
7 10th (7) (400/1 -2400%) Bear Force One	400 400/1(-2400%)	(7) Bear Force One 400/1, Quirky sort who won two 1m handicaps for Roger Teal last year. No forlorn hope on his first run for 9 months/new yard. He won on last year's comeback and isn't badly handicapped at all.
11 11th (11) (450/1 -2150%) Gunlock	450 450/1(-2150%)	(11) Gunlock 450/1, Lightly-raced C&D winner but only fourteenth of 16 on his handicap debut at York (7f, good to soft) 13 days ago. More is required from 1 lb out of the handicap. Lightly raced C&D winner; moves back up in trip but more to prove than some of these.
4 12th (4) (100/1 -456%) All The King's Men	100 100/1(-456%)	(4) All The King's Men 100/1, Yet to hit top form this term and he was reluctant to race when last of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good) 25 days ago. Cheekpieces go back on with lots to prove. Doesn't come here in the best of form and this is a tough race in which to bounce back.

16:10 Newcastle Handicap (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Sean D Bowen has been advertising his talents in the saddle and is an interesting booking for ELNAJMM. William Haggas' well-related four-year-old hasn't been seen since breaking through at Lingfield last August, but his three seconds prior to that came at the hands of smart performers. Lattam won this for Haggas 12 months ago and started off for his new stable with a cracking second in the Lincoln, when a position ahead of Navagio, before a satisfactory display in Newbury's Spring Cup. Brunch didn't get a lot of luck on his Nottingham comeback and has a good all-weather record. Gunlock should be happier back on Tapeta too.

William Haggas took this 12 months ago and is taken to repeat the feat with his low-mileage 4-y-o ELNAJMM returning on a good mark for his handicap debut with the prospect of more to come. C&D scorer Brunch rates a big threat on the back of his eye-catching Nottingham fourth, while last year's victor Lattam and in-form duo Farasi Lane and Navagio are also in the picture.

Elnajmm is of obvious interest but BRUNCH was unlucky in this last year and returns after a really likeable reappearance.

Form	Odds	Runs
8 1st (8) (10/3 +0%) Miss Stormy Night	3.333333 10/3(+0%)	(8) Miss Stormy Night 10/3, Career best when winning 10-runner handicap (3/1) at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) 16 days ago, driven out. Worth considering. Got her act together when getting off the mark at Salisbury this month..
1 2nd (1) (7/2 -86%) Noisy Music	3.5 7/2(-86%)	(1) Noisy Music 7/2, Winner at Windsor in June. Evens, bit below form eighth of 13 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) 20 days ago, hampered. Should be suited by the return to this trip and makes the most appeal. Won on handicap/stable/turf debut at Windsor this month; not so good four days later..
3 3rd (3) (40/1 -60%) Hoof It Hoof It	40 40/1(-60%)	(3) Hoof It Hoof It 40/1, Twelfth of 13 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good to firm, 10/1) 20 days ago. Back up in trip. Plenty to prove at present. Has beaten just three horses since returning this year and big improvement required..
7 4th (7) (100/1 -1329%) Imola	100 100/1(-1329%)	(7) Imola 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 7 in handicap at Goodwood (6f, good, 13/2) 13 days ago. Needs to prove herself on turf. Saddle slipped when last of seven on her handicap/turf debut at Goodwood this month..
2 5th (2) (40/1 -567%) Lotus Rose	40 40/1(-567%)	(2) Lotus Rose 40/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 15/2, respectable fifth of 13 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) 20 days ago, not knocked about. Back up in trip. Chance if rediscovering old form. Now 8lb lower than when last successful, at Thirsk in June 2023; should not be far away..
4 6th (4) (80/1 -400%) Marie Ellen	80 80/1(-400%)	(4) Marie Ellen 80/1, Last of 5 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, soft, 17/2) 57 days ago. Hood on 1st time. Needs to get back on track. Hasn't progressed from her first two starts last year; last of five at Pontefract in May..

6 8th (6) (50/1 -257%) Kendalina	50 50/1(-257%)	(6) Kendalina 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 66/1, tenth of 16 in minor event at Wetherby (7f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Must improve. Well held in two races on turf this year and big improvement required on handicap debut..

16:20 Nottingham Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

A 5lb rise in the ratings for MISS STORMY NIGHT's opening victory at Salisbury may prove to be on the lenient side. The second and third have both given the form a boost and a double could be on the cards for Clive Cox's filly. Catterick winner Dusk Dame enters handicaps off what looks a workable mark and she may serve the most resistance to the selection. Noisy Music should enjoy the return to 6f.

Having made a successful debut for her current stable at Windsor, NOISY MUSIC had excuses at Thirsk last time, so she's fancied to resume winning ways stepping back up in trip. Last-time-out winners Miss Stormy Night and Dusk Dame look the main dangers.

The three horses who have won this year can fight this out. Preference is for NOISY MUSIC, while Miss Stormy Night is second best.

16:30 Newmarket Handicap (Class 3) 7f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
8 1st (8) (8/1 -14%) Darkness	8 8/1(-14%)	(8) Darkness 8/1, Respectable third of 8 in handicap (4/1) at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Poor strike rate but his sole career win did come at this track, so capable of making an impact if things drop right. Ran well when third at Goodwood last time and his last win came here; chance.
10 2nd (10) (25/1 -108%) Waiting All Night	25 25/1(-108%)	(10) Waiting All Night 25/1, Hasn't won for a while and, while he's been performing respectably, he's been shaping like further will suit. Has run some good races over the last 12 months (including C&D) but has poor strike-rate.
3 3rd (3) (7/1 -27%) Toimy Son	7 7/1(-27%)	(3) Toimy Son 7/1, Back on track when good second of 12 in handicap at Goodwood on penultimate outing and race didn't pan out right when only fourth there next time. Can get involved if the pace is strong. 0-9 in Britain but in good heart at Goodwood the last twice and could be thereabouts.
9 4th (9) (14/1 -17%) Able Kane	14 14/1(-17%)	(9) Able Kane 14/1, Down to a handy mark and looked back in form when fourth at Chepstow last time. Return of blinkers could bring a further resurgence out of him and he's tasted success here before. On a reduced mark and the return of headgear, and to this C&D, could both be positives.
7 5th (7) (100/1 -1011%) Mitrosonfire	100 100/1(-1011%)	(7) Mitrosonfire 100/1, Hasn't won for a while but benefited from the drop in grade when runner-up at Leicester 23 days ago. On a fair mark if he can build on that. Two-time course winner who was beaten just a neck at Leicester most recently; player.
5 6th (5) (40/1 -233%) Persuasion	40 40/1(-233%)	(5) Persuasion 40/1, Capable from this mark on his day but slow starts are an ongoing issue (blew his chance at Hamilton last time) and this track isn't ideal for him. Three-time 7f winner who is on a handy mark; capable of having a say now back up in trip.
2 7th (2) (11/2 +45%) Havana Blue	5.5 11/2(+45%)	(2) Havana Blue 11/2, Stepped up on his reappearance (after a wind operation) when sixth at Doncaster last time. C&D winner in the past and handicapper has dropped him, so not without hope. C&D winner who was a close sixth at Doncaster this month and might not be far away.
4 8th (4) (40/1 -471%) Benacre	40 40/1(-471%)	(4) Benacre 40/1, Not the most reliable and had the run of things when third at Nottingham a fortnight ago. Cheekpieces back on but he's not guaranteed to reproduce that form. Back to form with close third over about 1m at Nottingham; should be fine back down to 7f.
6 9th (6) (100/1 -1011%) Ararat	100 100/1(-1011%)	(6) Ararat 100/1, C&D winner. 5/2, career best when winning 5-runner handicap on Rowley course (7f, good), easily. Goes well at the track and should make a better 4yo, so claims if he's tuned up after 9 months off. First run of the year but he was progressive last season (C&D winner); respected.
11 10th (11) (100/1 -525%) Lord Rapscallion	100 100/1(-525%)	(11) Lord Rapscallion 100/1, Scored on Rowley course last May and, while more miss than hit since, his latest sixth at Nottingham was a step back in the right direction and he should benefit from a return to this trip. Encouraging sixth over 6f at Nottingham latest and not ruled out now back up to best trip.

16:30 Newmarket Handicap (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow

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

The progressive Ararat capped off last year's campaign with a comfortable victory on the Rowley Mile and, racing off an 8lb higher mark, he isn't taken lightly on his return to action. However, DARKNESS' last career victory came on the July Course and a 1lb drop in the ratings for his recent placed effort at Goodwood will really help the six-year-old. Benacre is also worth a second look.

TOIMY SON is the pick of the weights and could come good if the leaders overdo it, and Able Kane is worthy of consideration, along with Darkness.

The reapplication of blinkers and return to this C&D could be positives for ABLE KANE, who is 7lb lower than for last June's win here.

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (40/1 -233%) Martin's Brig	40 40/1(-233%)	(7) Martin's Brig 40/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in March. Seventh of 11 in handicap (20/1) at Redcar (8f, soft) 30 days ago. Something to find on form. C&D winner in March but his subsequent efforts don't read so well.
2 2nd (2) (17/2 -70%) Tees George	8.5 17/2(-70%)	(2) Tees George 17/2, Course winner. 11/2, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Ripon (8f, good to firm) 39 days ago. Likely to be on the premises once again. Sole success came here over 7f; ran well over 1m last time but didn't quite see it out.
1 3rd (1) (20/1 -167%) Easter Island	20 20/1(-167%)	(1) Easter Island 20/1, Bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap (14/1) at Beverley (8.4f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Others make more appeal for win purposes. 1m4f more his trip and he was outpaced over Beverley's extended 1m last time.
3 4th (3) (14/1 +36%) South Dakota Sioux	14 14/1(+36%)	(3) South Dakota Sioux 14/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. Ninth of 12 in handicap (20/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 45 days ago, finishing with running left. Needs to bounce back. Has a strike-rate of 2-33 and has finished down the field in his last five appearances.
12 5th (12) (25/1 -56%) Masham Moor	25 25/1(-56%)	(12) Masham Moor 25/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Southwell in April. Below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Musselburgh (8f, good, 12/1) 26 days ago. One or two of these make more appeal. Running well here and at Southwell (all at 1m) before taking turf record to 0-8.
4 6th (4) (8/1 -7%) Specialist View	8 8/1(-7%)	(4) Specialist View 8/1, Winner at Southwell in April. 7/2, ninth of 11 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, soft) 36 days ago. Should be competitive returned to the AW. Only win came on Tapeta but this 6lb higher mark could be challenging.
9 7th (9) (18/1 -13%) Balqaa	18 18/1(-13%)	(9) Balqaa 18/1, C&D winner. Twenty runs since last win in 2022. 12/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 23 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Was knocking on the door earlier this year and capable of a bold show off this mark. Struggles to convert but has been beaten roughly a length on her last two visits here.
13 8th (13) (25/1 -178%) Struck Gold	25 25/1(-178%)	(13) Struck Gold 25/1, Unreliable type. Creditable second of 14 in minor event (11/1) at Yarmouth (8f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Tongue strap back on and given a chance by the handicapper. Place possibilities. Got himself back on track after a break when second in a classified race at Yarmouth.
6 9th (6) (40/1 -789%) Flying Panther	40 40/1(-789%)	(6) Flying Panther 40/1, Didn't need to improve to win 11-runner minor event (5/4) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 7 days ago, well on top finish. More needed under a penalty here. Penalised for winning a classified race last week but that was very straightforward.
11 10th (11) (16/1 -100%) Barleybrown	16 16/1(-100%)	(11) Barleybrown 16/1, Unreliable individual. C&D winner. 13/2, eighth of 12 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, soft) 29 days ago, slowly away. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Not entirely straightforward but has a big run in him; soft ground an excuse last time.
5 11th (5) (250/1 -4445%) Stoic Syd	250 250/1(-4445%)	(5) Stoic Syd 250/1, Two wins from 5 runs this year, the latest at Kempton in February. 5/2, respectable third of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 23 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Returns to 1m after not quite seeing out 9.4f at Wolverhampton 12 days ago.
10 12th (10) (350/1 -2088%) Highland Loch	350 350/1(-2088%)	(10) Highland Loch 350/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, twelfth of 13 in handicap (66/1) at Carlisle (9f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Hopes pinned on the first-time blinkers sparking improvement. Limited maiden and new blinkers will need to make the world of difference.
14 13th (14) (350/1 -2817%) Copper Mountain	350 350/1(-2817%)	(14) Copper Mountain 350/1, Tenth of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, good, 15/2) 14 days ago. Back down in trip and likely she will be seen in a better light back on the AW, albeit without being quite good enough. Well over two years since she won a handicap; others preferred.
8 14th (8) (350/1 -2088%) Glory Call	350 350/1(-2088%)	(8) Glory Call 350/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, ninth of 12 in handicap (13/2) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 23 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and he's opposable. Has looked out of sorts this campaign and has questions to answer at 1m.

16:40 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Flying Panther justified favouritism with the minimum of fuss in a classified event at Wolverhampton last week, but he was beaten in handicaps prior to that so a penalty doesn't exactly make life easy. STOIC SYD has been sent off favourite on each of his last four appearances, winning the first two, and his latest third at Wolverhampton came after a break so he is fancied to take the necessary step forward. Tees George is edging back towards the winner's enclosure, and Masham Moor is worth a look as well.

Several to consider, with STOIC SYD marginally preferred having performed with credit following a three-month break upped to 9.5f at Wolverhampton. This drop back in trip will be in his favour and he's now 1 lb lower in the weights. Specialist View failed to make an impact on turf last time but is feared now returned to the AW, while Tees George is third choice ahead of Balqaa.

It was a classified race that FLYING PANTHER won last week and he carries a penalty, but that was pretty comfortable.

1 5th (1) (11/1 -300%) Dunnington Lad	11 11/1(-300%)	(1) Dunnington Lad 11/1, Won 10-runner handicap (33/1) at Ripon (5f, good) 8 days ago. Obvious claims under a penalty if able to back that up. Sprang a surprise when making all at Ripon eight days ago back on turf..
5 6th (5) (28/1 -331%) Dandy Fitz	28 28/1(-331%)	(5) Dandy Fitz 28/1, Winner at Catterick in May. 12/1, bit below form eleventh of 19 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good) 11 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Has improved this year and got off the mark at Catterick last month..

MRS TRUMP lost little in defeat when touched off over C&D a couple of weeks ago. The daughter of James Garfield is only 2lb higher than for her cosy triumph at Leicester nine days earlier and compensation could beckon. Last week's surprise Ripon winner Dunnington Lad, who shoulders a 5lb penalty, should give another good account, while Twayblade is likely to prove more competitive on this drop into a 0-55 contest.

DUNNINGTON LAD returned to form from out of the blue when making all at Ripon recently and he will take some stopping under a penalty here if in a similar mood. He certainly won't have things all his own way, though, with the in-form Mrs Trump in opposition, while cases can also be made for Suanni and The Grey Lass.

The filly MRS TRUMP has been in fine form with two wins this year and can go in again. Dandy Fitz can follow her home.

17:05 Newmarket Handicap (Class 4) 8f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (6/1 -167%) Composite	6 6/1(-167%)	(2) Composite 6/1, Back-to-back winner on the AW during the winter and, following a couple of disappointing displays, he got back in track in first-time blinkers (retained) when going close at Windsor (1m, good to firm) recently. Able to race off 2 lb lower here (due to go up 6 lb) and he's the one to beat. Went close at Windsor recently and able to run off 2lb lower today; key player.
4 2nd (4) (10/3 -11%) Jayyash	3.333333 10/3(-11%)	(4) Jayyash 10/3, Opened account in 1m Kempton novice before posting an excellent second in handicap there when not ideally placed in May. Far from disgraced when third of 7 in handicap at York (10.2f, good) latest and merits respect with this drop back in trip a potentially good move. Visor applied. Needs more than when third at York last time but remains lightly raced and is in top hands.
6 3rd (6) (100/1 -1567%) Winterfair	100 100/1(-1567%)	(6) Winterfair 100/1, Narrow winner of Wolverhampton novice on second start and ran well under a penalty when third at Lingfield on return. Wasn't seen to best effect on subsequent handicap debut at Haydock (1m, good) and she's likely to do better at some point soon. Fair fourth on handicap debut at Haydock; lightly raced and in good hands to progress.
3 4th (3) (100/1 -1011%) Ribal	100 100/1(-1011%)	(3) Ribal 100/1, Off the mark in a Chelmsford maiden in February but he's been rather muted back in handicap company since. Won AW maiden in February but unable to seriously threaten back in handicaps since.
1 5th (1) (40/1 -700%) Pearl Eye	40 40/1(-700%)	(1) Pearl Eye 40/1, Four-time winner at up to 8.5f last term and perfect start to this season when striking at Pontefract (1m, soft). Creditable efforts at around 1¼m since and, with this drop back in trip a plus, he should have a part to play. Drops back in trip and a steady pace would be a worry, but he arrives in good heart.
5 6th (5) (100/1 -2400%) Transitioning	100 100/1(-2400%)	(5) Transitioning 100/1, Good pedigree and made a winning start to his career in a 6-runner maiden at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) last month. Wasn't beaten far when fourth in a big-field handicap at Wetherby since but more will certainly be needed if he's to emerge on top here. Won on debut last month before solid fourth under penalty; brings potential to h'cap debut.

17:05 Newmarket Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

The George Boughey yard can do little wrong at present, and this looks like an ideal opportunity for COMPOSITE to regain the winning thread following a narrow defeat when dropped back to this distance at Windsor. Successful at Doncaster on debut, Transitioning could not follow up under a penalty at Wetherby but has to be of interest on his handicap debut. Jayyash must also be considered on the drop in grade after a respectable effort over further at York.

This looks ripe for COMPOSITE, who is officially 6 lb 'well-in' following his close call with blinkers enlisted at Windsor where he pulled clear with the in-form winner. A reproduction of that will make him hard to beat. Jayyash wasn't disgraced at York last time and he will be a threat if responding well to the first-time visor, while Pearl Eye also enters calculations.

The 3yos are open to improvement but this could go to COMPOSITE, who can run off a mark 2lb lower than when going close at Windsor.

Form	Odds	Runs
11 (11) (33/1 -65%) Bint Alfella	33 33/1(-65%)	(11) Bint Alfella 33/1, Eleventh of 13 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good to firm, 14/1) 20 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time. Needs the headgear to perk her up. Dropping down the weights but has been unable to rediscover her early promise.
3 1st (3) (15/2 -67%) Cast No Shadow	7.5 15/2(-67%)	(3) Cast No Shadow 15/2, C&D winner. Winner here in March. 12/1, last of 7 in handicap at Catterick (5f, soft) 64 days ago. Will benefit from the return to this surface and can't be dismissed. Well beaten on turf on last 2 runs but this C&D winner could stage revival now back on AW.
4 2nd (4) (6/1 +25%) Ticktyboo	6 6/1(+25%)	(4) Ticktyboo 6/1, Bit below form fourth of 8 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good, 20/1) 8 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Makes tapeta debut. Not discounted. 0-9 but went close at Redcar last month & didn't run badly last time; could be thereabouts.
9 3rd (9) (6/1 +8%) Brummell	6 6/1(+8%)	(9) Brummell 6/1, Latest win at Beverley in May. 11/2, ninth of 10 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Seems to have quickly lost his form. Disappointing the last twice but progressive previously and could bounce back.
2 4th (2) (40/1 -186%) Restless Prince	40 40/1(-186%)	(2) Restless Prince 40/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Catterick in April. Fourteenth of 15 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good to soft, 50/1) 33 days ago. Something to find on form. Well beaten on last month's handicap debut but showed promise previously and not ruled out.
10 5th (10) (7/1 -180%) Stash The Cash	7 7/1(-180%)	(10) Stash The Cash 7/1, Winner at Catterick in April. Third of 5 in handicap (5/2) at Leicester (5f, good) 12 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Likely to be on the premises. Respectable efforts the last twice (including behind Pilgrim) and might not be far away.
8 6th (8) (33/1 -267%) Biographer	33 33/1(-267%)	(8) Biographer 33/1, Winner at Lingfield in January. 25/1, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Chester (6.1f, good) 13 days ago. Soundly beaten on turf on last three runs but perhaps the return to AW will help.
6 7th (6) (18/1 +28%) Pearl Abbey	18 18/1(+28%)	(6) Pearl Abbey 18/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in March. Last of 8 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good, 20/1) 21 days ago. Has a bit to prove on the back of that but return to tapeta should help. Well beaten on h'cap debut on turf; this Tapeta maiden winner retains potential back on AW.
7 8th (7) (300/1 -4186%) Torvar	300 300/1(-4186%)	(7) Torvar 300/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in February. 18/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 30 days ago. Not firing on all cylinders at present. Won off 2lb higher over C&D in February but not at the top of his game more recently.
1 9th (1) (33/1 -371%) Rainyniteingeorgia	33 33/1(-371%)	(1) Rainyniteingeorgia 33/1, Lightly-raced winner. First run since leaving William Jarvis when respectable third of 7 in handicap (9/1) at Goodwood (5f, good to firm) 33 days ago. Should strip fitter for that and looks of interest on tapeta debut. 2yo 5f Polytrack winner; form of handicap debut third at Goodwood has worked out well.
5 10th (5) (150/1 -838%) Boardroom	150 150/1(-838%)	(5) Boardroom 150/1, Blinkered for 1st time, seventh of 11 in nursery (17/2) at Wolverhampton (5.1f). Off 7 months. Likely to strip fitter for the run. Promising start to career last summer but struggled subsequently; makes reappearance.

17:15 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

RAINYNITEINGEORGIA ended last season with a novice win on the Polytrack at Lingfield and has subsequently switched yards. Alice Haynes' charge caught the eye making late headway to finish third at Goodwood on her reappearance and handicap debut, and could go close with normal improvement. A better effort is expected from Brummell back over the minimum trip having won at Beverley last month, while Torvar returns to this venue for the first time since winning over C&D back in February.

RAINYNITEINGEORGIA made a respectable start for her new yard at Goodwood and, with the benefit of a recent run, she should have enough to capitalise on a drop in grade switched to tapeta. Stash The Cash arrives in good order and looks a danger, while Cast No Shadow is likely to make more impact back on tapeta.

Topweight RAINYNITEINGEORGIA (nap) was an encouraging third at Goodwood on last month's reappearance and she's the selection.

17:40 Newmarket Handicap (Class 5) 16f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
6 1st (6) (9/2 -80%) Red Force One	4.5 9/2(-80%)	(6) Red Force One 9/2, Cashed in on a reduced mark at Musselburgh (16f) earlier this month and followed up in determined fashion at Redcar (14f, good to firm) 5 days ago. Can race off same mark and holds strong claims. Bids for third win in two weeks and has the same mark as latest outing (due to go up 3lb).
7 2nd (7) (10/3 -67%) Pfingstberg	3.333333 10/3(-67%)	(7) Pfingstberg 10/3, Suited by change to positive tactics when taking 7-runner handicap (5/2) at Lingfield (16.3f, good to firm) 19 days ago. 5 lb higher now but not taken lightly. 11th race when off the mark at Lingfield (2m, good to firm) latest, comfortably making all.
3 3rd (3) (6/1 -33%) My Chiquita	6 6/1(-33%)	(3) My Chiquita 6/1, Scored twice over hurdles last term and ran up to her best, returned to Flat, when second of 7 in handicap at Doncaster (14.5f, good to firm) 26 days ago. Likely to go well again. Good runs (hurdles/Flat) on last two outings, beaten a neck at Doncaster (14.5f) on latest.
1 4th (1) (20/1 -300%) Churchella	20 20/1(-300%)	(1) Churchella 20/1, Recorded a third win of the year when opening her turf account in 10-runner handicap at Doncaster (14.5f) last month and posted creditable efforts since, latest when sixth of 15 in handicap at Thirsk (14f, good, 11/1) 11 days ago, left with lot to do. Respected. Gained first turf win at Doncaster in May and there have been two creditable runs since.
5 5th (5) (40/1 -627%) Dereham	40 40/1(-627%)	(5) Dereham 40/1, Made little impact on return at Chelmsford 3 weeks ago but has won this contest (off similar marks) for the last 2 years and has surely been aimed at it once more. Unraced on firmer than good for over two years; however, he won this race in 2022 and 2023.
4 6th (4) (80/1 -220%) Cabrakan	80 80/1(-220%)	(4) Cabrakan 80/1, Not scored on Flat for almost 2 years and there was little encouragement in his recent yard debut at Pontefract. Significantly up in trip. His significant Flat form was in 2022; tailed off on recent return to Flat for new yard.

17:40 Newmarket Handicap (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

This can go the way of RED FORCE ONE, who has hit a rich vein of form of late with a pair of comfortable victories, and he escapes a penalty for last weekend's triumph in an apprentices' race at Redcar. My Chiquita (second) had Churchella (fourth) just over two lengths behind when narrowly denied at Doncaster and she can uphold that form on the rise in distance. Pfingstberg is another to note after deservedly breaking the maiden at Lingfield.

RED FORCE ONE arrives in fine form and carries no penalty for last week's Redcar victory. He can score again. Dereham is chasing a hat-trick in this event and has been given a chance by the handicapper, whilst Lingfield winner Pfingstberg will be dangerous if allowed to set his own pace again.

Preference is for PFINGSTBERG (nap) who has more to offer at 2m+ judged on his breakthrough win at Lingfield.

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (7/4 +42%) Tafsir	1.75 7/4(+42%)	(3) Tafsir 7/4, C&D winner. Latest win at Ayr in May. 6/5, good second of 4 in handicap at Musselburgh (16f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Player once more. C&D winner who is in good form and should go well for yard that won this last year.
8 2nd (8) (16/1 +0%) Myboymax	16 16/1(+0%)	(8) Myboymax 16/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. 14/1, last of 11 in handicap at Catterick (13.9f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Needs a couple of these to falter. Losing run is up to 14 and he was last of 11 at Catterick 19 days ago; down the list.
4 3rd (4) (80/1 -1233%) Lindwall	80 80/1(-1233%)	(4) Lindwall 80/1, 9/1, sole run for Tom Lacey when last of 10 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (16.2f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Needs to bounce back for another new yard. Lightly raced in recent years and was tailed off over hurdles latest; others preferred.
9 4th (9) (40/1 -300%) Cuban Cigar	40 40/1(-300%)	(9) Cuban Cigar 40/1, 15/2, creditable third of 9 in handicap hurdle at Perth (16.2f, good to soft) 42 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Blinkers back on and one to consider. In good form over hurdles but he's 0-20 in Flat turf events; one of two runners for yard.
1 5th (1) (100/1 -2903%) The Dancing Poet	100 100/1(-2903%)	(1) The Dancing Poet 100/1, 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Improved on recent efforts to readily win 9-runner handicap (85/40) at Catterick (12.1f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Big shout under a 4 lb penalty. Forged clear at Catterick last week and looks well treated under a penalty; big player.
6 6th (6) (100/1 -1900%) Rory The Cat	100 100/1(-1900%)	(6) Rory The Cat 100/1, Good third of 13 in handicap (5/1) at Pontefract (17.1f, good) 17 days ago. Down in trip and can make his presence felt. Good third back on Flat at Pontefract and he should be fine back at this trip; in the mix.
5 7th (5) (80/1 -2186%) Zephlyn	80 80/1(-2186%)	(5) Zephlyn 80/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Southwell (16.5f, 11/4) 98 days ago. Well on top at the finish there so not taken lightly with tongue tie added. Two emphatic AW wins this year and has claims if he can transfer his progress back to turf.
2 8th (2) (100/1 -400%) Foveros	100 100/1(-400%)	(2) Foveros 100/1, 40/1, hampered halfway when sixth of 12 in handicap at Haydock (11.6f, firm) 20 days ago. Still needs to step forward. His last win was in 2021 and has been well held back on the Flat in last two runs.
7 9th (7) (150/1 -275%) Ivynator	150 150/1(-275%)	(7) Ivynator 150/1, 125/1, fair fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Bangor (19.6f, good) 19 days ago. No forlorn hope back in this sphere. Out of sorts in a handful of starts under both codes since last May; lots to prove.

17:45 Hamilton Handicap (Class 6) 13f Race Class Flow

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

THE DANCING POET scored with something in hand at Catterick recently and he could make light work of a 4lb penalty. The Brian Ellison-trained gelding is effectively 1lb lower now that amateur rider Matt Brown can claim 5lb and he edges the vote ahead of the distance-dropping Tafsir. The five-year-old is returning to her last winning trip and her recent creditable efforts in defeat suggest that she won't be far away. Zephlyn and Rory The Cat are also noted.

THE DANCING POET scored with something to spare at Catterick last time and looks the way to go turned out under a 4 lb penalty. C&D winner Tafsir rates a big threat though on the back of his good Musselburgh second, with Southwell scorer Zephlyn also well in the mix on his return after a short break.

The vote goes to THE DANCING POET, who had plenty in hand when forging clear under Matt Brown at Catterick last week.

9 1st (9) (11/4 -38%) Titainium	2.75 11/4(-38%)	(9) Titainium 11/4, Lightly-raced maiden who posted much improved form when second of 12 on handicap bow at Redcar (7f, good to firm) 6 days ago. Remains with potential and looks the one to beat on tapeta debut. Went close on recent handicap debut and is 4lb well in for this AW debut; high on the list.
3 2nd (3) (11/4 +31%) Bulmer Bank	2.75 11/4(+31%)	(3) Bulmer Bank 11/4, Made the frame in all 3 starts this term, latest when creditable third of 11 in handicap at Chester (7.6f, good, 9/2) 13 days ago, doing too much too soon. He remains fairly treated and a strong gallop would aid his cause. Drops in grade after two creditable third in 0-80 turf handicaps; good chance.
2 3rd (2) (10/1 -67%) Mulciber	10 10/1(-67%)	(2) Mulciber 10/1, Dual winner here for Marco Botti and ran right up to best when second of 12 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) when last seen in March. Gelded since and warrants respect on debut for new yard. Second to progressive rival at Southwell in March; player if in same form for new stable.
1 4th (1) (33/1 -175%) Duke Wellington	33 33/1(-175%)	(1) Duke Wellington 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 8 in handicap (16/1) at Salisbury (7f, good) 33 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Work to do. Disappointing in two turf handicaps but may yet deliver on earlier Tapeta promise.
6 5th (6) (400/1 -7900%) Berry Clever	400 400/1(-7900%)	(6) Berry Clever 400/1, Consistent performer who posted another creditable effort when second of 11 in handicap at Wetherby (7f, good to soft, 3/1) 16 days ago, running on. One for shortlist. Beginning to look exposed but recent efforts suggest he won't be far away.
4 6th (4) (350/1 -1650%) Cuban Fiesta	350 350/1(-1650%)	(4) Cuban Fiesta 350/1, 10/1 and hooded for 1st time, cheekpieces on for 1st time, ninth of 11 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Others preferred. Placed on seasonal/handicap debut but two disappointing turf runs have followed.
7 7th (7) (450/1 -3991%) Angel Of The Bay	450 450/1(-3991%)	(7) Angel Of The Bay 450/1, 5/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Ripon (8f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Still looking for first success. Disappointed when upped to 1m this month but was second over 7f on handicap debut in May.
13 8th (13) (400/1 -2400%) Loubiere	400 400/1(-2400%)	(13) Loubiere 400/1, Disappointing seventh of 8 in handicap at Catterick (7f, soft) 64 days ago but posted a good second here (8f) earlier this year and could play a part. Good second here (1m) on seasonal debut but has disappointed twice since.
5 9th (5) (300/1 -1264%) Last Applause	300 300/1(-1264%)	(5) Last Applause 300/1, Below form when eighth of 12 in handicap (33/1) at Chester (6.1f, good) 13 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Yet to build upon her 7f 2yo win and has basically become disappointing.
10 10th (10) (125/1 -279%) Strike Rate	125 125/1(-279%)	(10) Strike Rate 125/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 28/1, last of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, soft) 10 days ago, slowly away. Back up in trip. Makes limited appeal. Well beaten after refusing to settle on recent handicap debut and remains a risky option.
12 11th (12) (400/1 -2757%) Pearl Sands	400 400/1(-2757%)	(12) Pearl Sands 400/1, Yet to score after 8 attempts and shaped as if amiss when last of 12 in handicap at Redcar (7f, good to firm, 7/1) 6 days ago. Cheekpieces now tried. Placed when dropped to 7f this month but spoiled chance by persistently hanging on Friday.
8 12th (8) (66/1 -100%) Locomotive	66 66/1(-100%)	(8) Locomotive 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 50/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Wetherby (7f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Plenty to find on form. Unexposed after only four runs but did not land a significant blow on handicap debut.
11 13th (11) (150/1 -971%) Lady Phoebe	150 150/1(-971%)	(11) Lady Phoebe 150/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 22/1, seventh of 11 in minor event at this course (6f). Off 6 months. Makes handicap debut. Improvement required. Makes handicap debut after a layoff but displayed promise over C&D as a 2yo.

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

MULCIBER came up against the progressive Prince Eric when runner-up at Southwell in March. He's recorded both wins so far at this track and looks capable of making a bold bid for his new trainer. Bulmer Bank is another to consider dropping in class on the back of creditable placed efforts at York and Chester, while Berry Clever has been in the mix lately and can figure again. Redcar runner-up Titainium remains unexposed and should have more to offer.

There should be more to come from TITAINIUM, who upped his game significantly when second at Redcar last week and can race off the same mark here. Bulmer Bank and Berry Clever rate the principal dangers.

Class-dropper BULMER BANK ought to find this easier than the recent handicaps at York and Chester in which he finished third.

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

After making a successful beginning to her career at Chelmsford, CAPO VATICANO lost absolutely nothing in defeat when third to a couple of useful performers at Hamilton. Andrew Balding's speedy filly might be able to dictate terms to suit herself and if that is the case, she may not be for catching. Good Good Good had a subsequent winner back in third when winning at Yarmouth on debut and is the obvious threat. Her stablemate Kranjcar's price went down from 150,000gns as a yearling to 36,000gns last month, but he is still worth a look.

A match on paper, with Yarmouth debut winner GOOD GOOD GOOD preferred to Capo Vaticano, who matched her debut form when third at Hamilton. Newcomer Kranjcar is a default pick for third over River Edge, who has shown very little in 2 starts to date.

Capo Vaticano won't go down lightly but GOOD GOOD GOOD impressed at Yarmouth and she may be able to follow up.

Sights lowered somewhat here and she showed enough on debut at Thirsk to suggest that she has a future. Found Hilary Needler too hot this month but there was clear promise on her debut.

Only beaten 2 lengths and it wouldn't be the greatest of surprises if she were to step up on that here. Only beaten about 2l when last of five over C&D on debut and evidently has ability.
5 4th (5) (33/1 -340%) River Blackwater	33 33/1(-340%)	(5) River Blackwater 33/1, Once-raced filly. Eighth of 9 in maiden at Wetherby (5.5f, good to soft, 5/1) on debut 16 days ago. Looked very green on that occasion and she's probably more one for the longer term. Out of a 6f Group 2 2yo winner; make low-key debut this month but can improve.
2 5th (2) (20/1 -964%) Hardlass	20 20/1(-964%)	(2) Hardlass 20/1, Once-raced filly. 22/1, tenth of 13 in maiden at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) on debut 71 days ago. Showed early speed there and may well fare better with that experience to draw upon. Not disgraced in much stronger race than this on Newmarket debut in April.
1 6th (1) (100/1 -300%) Charm Runner	100 100/1(-300%)	(1) Charm Runner 100/1, Once-raced filly. Ninth of 10 in maiden at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm, 66/1) on debut 24 days ago. Likely to need more time. Out of a useful 5f 2yo winner but a down-the-field outsider on debut.
4 7th (4) (66/1 -2100%) Premium Pass	66 66/1(-2100%)	(4) Premium Pass 66/1, Twice-raced filly. Last of 7 in maiden at Brighton (6f, good, 6/1) 9 days ago. Worth another chance given what she showed when third on debut over the same C&D last month. Good third on Brighton debut; disappointed after racing too freely on second start.

18:15 Hamilton Maiden (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Although last on her racecourse debut over C&D recently, Tippy Top wasn't beaten far and she must enter calculations on this quick turnaround. However, there is a strong chance that this drop in trip will suit PREMIUM PASS and Archie Watson's filly is fancied to gain a breakthrough victory. Downgraded duo Hardlass and Sands Of Dubai also merit consideration in these calmer waters.

SANDS OF DUBAI was out of her depth in the Hilary Needler and, having showed signs of ability on her introduction at Thirsk, she looks the way to go in a maiden that probably won't take a great deal of winning. Premium Pass is second choice, while Hardlass and Tippy Top could also play a part.

The answer might be HARDLASS, who was sent to Newmarket to contest a good maiden on her debut in April and showed some speed.

18:30 Leicester Handicap (Class 6) 8f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (7/2 -27%) Love Your Work	3.5 7/2(-27%)	(1) Love Your Work 7/2, Twenty three runs since last win in 2022. Blinkers back on and shaped quite well when third of 11 in handicap (6/1) at Yarmouth (8f, soft) 36 days ago, running on. Claims if backing that up. Has better strike-rate on AW but did well to finish third on turf last month.
2 2nd (2) (3/1 +50%) My Ambition	3 3/1(+50%)	(2) My Ambition 3/1, Eleventh of 13 in handicap (16/1) at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Becoming well treated but needs to show more spark before considering him. Well down the field on both outings this year but now 2lb below last winning mark.
4 3rd (4) (100/1 -900%) Plumette	100 100/1(-900%)	(4) Plumette 100/1, Course winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2023. 28/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 23 days ago. Merits consideration back on turf with headgear off. Didn't fire on AW this month but returns to turf on a good mark.
5 4th (5) (66/1 -4300%) Ravenglass	66 66/1(-4300%)	(5) Ravenglass 66/1, Twenty four runs since last win in 2022. Creditable third of 10 in handicap at Bath (8f, good, 11/4) 20 days ago, clear of rest. Hood back on. Has to be taken seriously having eased 1 lb. Steadily regressive but largely consistent 5yo; placed three times at Bath this spring.
6 5th (6) (100/1 -1900%) Sparkle In His Eye	100 100/1(-1900%)	(6) Sparkle In His Eye 100/1, 9/1, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.1f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Falling in the weights without really looking ready to take advantage. Out of form on AW in early part of year and recent turf form no better than respectable.
7 6th (7) (66/1 -200%) Channel Packet	66 66/1(-200%)	(7) Channel Packet 66/1, Course winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Last of 11 in handicap (80/1) at Nottingham (10.2f, good) 14 days ago. Blinkers replace cheekpieces and he has a lot to prove. Veteran who has had several chances off basement marks since latest win in November 2022.
3 7th (3) (100/1 -733%) Love Is A Rose	100 100/1(-733%)	(3) Love Is A Rose 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, soft) 14 days ago. Others more persuasive for all step back up in trip will suit. Still unexposed after only five runs but was safely held in her first two handicaps.
8 8th (8) (100/1 -150%) Arnie Angell	100 100/1(-150%)	(8) Arnie Angell 100/1, Sixth of 8 in handicap at Brighton (8f, good to firm, 66/1) 24 days ago. Hard to make a case for him. Did not show a great deal off basement marks on his first three starts for Ivan Furtado.

18:30 Leicester Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

RAVENGLASS went some way to putting an ordinary Chepstow display behind him when making the frame at Bath. He has performed well in defeat for much of this year and although his winless run stretches back to August 2022, recent Yarmouth third Love Your Work seems his biggest threat and that one hasn't managed to get his head in front for well over two years. Love Is A Rose is slowly finding her feet since joining Michael Wigham and is one to consider at potentially bigger odds.

RAVENGLASS deserves a win for these connections and taking on mainly out-of-form rivals here, this looks to be a really good opportunity. Love Your Work showed enough at Yarmouth last time to make him of interest, with Sparkle In His Eye another to consider.

Multiple AW winner LOVE YOUR WORK was arguably unlucky not to double his turf tally at Yarmouth last month and gets the nod.

18:45 Hamilton Handicap (Class 6) 5f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
5 (5) (7/1 +0%) Northerner	7 7/1(+0%)	(5) Northerner 7/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 13/2, ninth of 14 in handicap at Catterick (5f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Will need to step up on that it she's to open her account. Showed clear promise in her qualifying runs but recent handicap debut was disappointing.
2 1st (2) (13/2 -189%) Zaphea	6.5 13/2(-189%)	(2) Zaphea 13/2, Unreliable individual. Latest win at Musselburgh in May. Creditable third of 19 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good, 28/1) 11 days ago. Live each-way chance if repeating that. Free-going filly; won last month and could be hard to catch in this grade.
3 2nd (3) (100/1 -2757%) Mokaatil	100 100/1(-2757%)	(3) Mokaatil 100/1, Second of 4 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft, 13/2) 15 days ago. Has edged down to a career-low mark and he's high on the shortlist. Nothing like the force of old but recent efforts have been respectable; likely contender.
1 3rd (1) (5/2 +25%) Honour Your Dreams	2.5 5/2(+25%)	(1) Honour Your Dreams 5/2, C&D winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2023. 9/2, eighth of 9 in handicap at Catterick (5f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Now 1 lb lower than when going close here 4 starts back and will have a serious chance if reproducing that level of form. Not much has gone to plan in recent weeks but he went close over C&D in early May.
7 4th (7) (100/1 -300%) Earn Your Stripes	100 100/1(-300%)	(7) Earn Your Stripes 100/1, C&D winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. 25/1, last of 10 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good to firm) 36 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Opposable. Won this in 2022 but drew a blank last year and ran poorly on reappearance outing.
4 5th (4) (5/1 +0%) One Of Our Own	5 5/1(+0%)	(4) One Of Our Own 5/1, Seventh of 8 in handicap at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm, 12/1) 24 days ago, slowly away. Record stands at 1-18 and she needs to get back on track now tried in more severe headgear (sports a first-time visor). Made low-key reappearance this month but may fare better with headgear now refitted.
6 6th (6) (40/1 -300%) Hard Solution	40 40/1(-300%)	(6) Hard Solution 40/1, Four-time course winner. Latest win at Southwell in March. 14/1, bit below form seventh of 14 in handicap at this course (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Visor back on and he will be a threat if bouncing back to something like his best. Won this a year ago but has not really been firing on all cylinders lately.

18:45 Hamilton Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

This drop into selling handicap company could prove just the tonic for MOKAATIL, who arrives on the back of a respectable placed effort at Brighton and a solid second at Yarmouth. Ian Williams' charge may not be the force of old, but he may have too much toe for these rivals. Zaphea rates as the obvious danger after hitting the frame in a 19-runner sprint at Thirsk recently, while an improved bid from One Of Our Own in a first-time visor wouldn't come as a surprise.

MOKAATIL is now 3 lb lower compared to when hitting the target at Wolverhampton in February and he could be the answer to this open-looking handicap. The 9-y-o may have most to fear from Honour Your Dreams, who boasts some solid C&D form and Zaphea also needs considering on the back of an admirable effort at Thirsk.

After a creditable third at Thirsk 11 days ago, ZAPHEA is selected to dominate this weaker field from the front.

19:00 Leicester Handicap (Class 6) 12f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
3 (3) (5/1 -25%) Khangai	5 5/1(-25%)	(3) Khangai 5/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Good third of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, good, 9/2) 14 days ago. Can make presence felt from the same mark. Has modest strike-rate but ran well over 1m2f recently and is worth another crack at 1m4f.
5 (5) (15/2 -50%) Hurtle	7.5 15/2(-50%)	(5) Hurtle 15/2, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 2/1, last of 10 in handicap at Brighton (11.9f, good to soft) 37 days ago. Blinkers back on, tongue strap back on. Expected to be bang there eased in class. Seemingly back in good nick two starts ago but ran poorly just a few days later.
1 1st (1) (4/1 -20%) Trojan Truth	4 4/1(-20%)	(1) Trojan Truth 4/1, Two wins from 5 runs this year. Blinkered for first time, didn't need to improve to win 10-runner handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm, 10/3) 24 days ago, having run of race. Up 2 lb but he's clearly in good order. Suited by new tactics when making all for hard-fought success at Windsor this month.
2 2nd (2) (22/1 -57%) Rose Light	22 22/1(-57%)	(2) Rose Light 22/1, 22/1, first run since leaving Gemma Tutty when respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Haydock (11.6f, firm) 20 days ago, left poorly placed. Fully-fledged rider back on. Safely held when returned to turf for recent stable debut; others are much more appealing.
6 3rd (6) (66/1 -313%) Walk The Moon	66 66/1(-313%)	(6) Walk The Moon 66/1, 28/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at this course (10f, good to soft) 31 days ago, failing to land a blow held up in a steadily-run race. Never dangerous over 1m2f here last month, after a break, and now 0-11; others preferred.
8 4th (8) (100/1 -900%) Shield Of Honour	100 100/1(-900%)	(8) Shield Of Honour 100/1, Sixth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (16f, 9/1) 35 days ago. Blinkers on and drop in trip looks a good move (plenty of form over this distance in France). Dual winner in France; ran okay on stable debut in May but latest run was disappointing.
4 5th (4) (33/1 -725%) Churchill Rose	33 33/1(-725%)	(4) Churchill Rose 33/1, Sixth of 8 in handicap (9/2) at Doncaster (11.9f, good) 27 days ago. Visor replaces usual cheekpieces and she's just 1 lb above her successful mark. Respectable sixth in stronger race than this last month and on a good mark now.
7 6th (7) (50/1 -317%) Iconique	50 50/1(-317%)	(7) Iconique 50/1, Tongue strap/cheekpieces on for first time, below form sixth of 11 in handicap (9/2) at Newcastle (8f). Off 8 months. First run for yard after leaving Rebecca Menzies and market may guide. Absent since since underwhelming AW runs in the autumn; makes stable debut today.
9 7th (9) (100/1 -1718%) Alioski	100 100/1(-1718%)	(9) Alioski 100/1, Good second of 9 in handicap hurdle (6/1) at Huntingdon (19.6f, good to soft) 37 days ago (dead-heating but subsequently demoted). Should be a factor from his lowly Flat mark. Placed on the Flat and over hurdles last month; enters calculations in current mood.
10 8th (10) (66/1 -32%) Onemore Twomore	66 66/1(-32%)	(10) Onemore Twomore 66/1, 50/1, first run since leaving Philip McBride when twelfth of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford City (14f) 21 days ago. Some positives can be drawn from her stable debut but she was well beaten in the end.

19:00 Leicester Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Hurtle loves to hear his hooves rattle and even the official good going at Brighton wasn't quick enough for him last time. He beat Alioski to the runner-up berth at Bath last month and is capable of much better but a safer option is TROJAN TRUTH, who justified favouritism with a determined display at Windsor and is only 2lb higher. Khangai was beaten just half a length into third over 1m2f at Nottingham, although he still needs to prove he stays this far.

HURTLE failed to justify strong support at Brighton last month but it was in higher band of handicap than this so he's fancied to get it right this time in a change of headgear. Connections of Churchill Rose also tinker with different equipment and she's very close to her previous winning mark, with Shield of Honour another to consider at likely longer odds back in trip.

This could be a good chance for CHURCHILL ROSE (nap) who was not beaten far on slower-than-ideal ground in a stronger race last month.

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (2/1 +33%) Jordan Electrics	2 2/1(+33%)	(3) Jordan Electrics 2/1, Five-time course winner who has been in great form this term, scoring 3 times. Ran right up to best when close second of 7 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good to firm) latest and looks sure to go well again. Three wins this spring; career-best performance when close second at Ayr on Saturday.
7 2nd (7) (8/1 +33%) Digital	8 8/1(+33%)	(7) Digital 8/1, Back on scoreboard over C&D earlier this month but last of 20 in handicap at York (6f, soft) since. Others preferred. C&D winner off reduced mark this month but well beaten in a stronger race since.
6 3rd (6) (11/1 -57%) Never Dark	11 11/1(-57%)	(6) Never Dark 11/1, Three-time winner over this trip last year who shaped well when fourth of 11 in handicap (40/1) at Chester (5.1f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Dropped to a handy mark and must enter calculations. Free-going front-runner who seemed to be getting back in the groove on his latest outing.
2 4th (2) (33/1 -83%) Myconian	33 33/1(-83%)	(2) Myconian 33/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fourteenth of 19 in handicap (40/1) at Epsom (5f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Blinkers/tongue strap back on. Others look better treated. Listed 2yo winner but finding things tougher this year; drops in grade today.
1 5th (1) (33/1 -106%) Ganesha	33 33/1(-106%)	(1) Ganesha 33/1, C&D winner. 33/1, last of 8 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 60 days ago, left poorly placed. Others more appealing. Dual 5f 2yo winner (once over C&D) but well beaten on reappearance outing in April.
5 6th (5) (9/2 -157%) Mutamanni	4.5 9/2(-157%)	(5) Mutamanni 9/2, Stepped up on his maiden-winning form when taking 5-runner handicap at Leicester (5f, good, 2/1) 12 days ago. 5 lb higher now but remains with potential. Improving and unexposed 3yo who bids to complete a quick hat-trick; must be considered.
4 7th (4) (100/1 -2757%) Zarzyni	100 100/1(-2757%)	(4) Zarzyni 100/1, Not scored since 2022 but has dropped to a handy mark and came close in handicap at Redcar (5f, good to firm) 5 days ago. Respected. Went close at Redcar on Saturday and is 2lb ahead of the handicapper here.
8 8th (8) (66/1 -200%) Pockley	66 66/1(-200%)	(8) Pockley 66/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 40/1, fourth of 7 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good to firm) 5 days ago. Work to do off current mark. Six-time AW winner but 0-25 on turf; just a respectable fourth at Ayr on Saturday.

19:15 Hamilton Handicap (Class 3) 5f Race Class Flow

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

MUTAMANNI made every yard to score at Leicester on his handicap debut. He looks capable of defying a 5lb rise and going in again, given his progressive profile and trainer George Boughey's excellent strike-rate at this venue. Zarzyni went close to ending a long losing run when beaten only a neck at Redcar and has to come into the reckoning, while Jordan Electrics has been in fine form so far this year.

The hat-trick seeking MUTAMANNI still has few miles on the clock and is narrowly preferred to Jordan Electrics who arrives at the top of his game. Never Dark has been given a chance by the handicapper and is also much respected.

Free-goer NEVER DARK has dropped to a tempting mark, and his recent Chester fourth suggested he is coming back to the boil.

6 1st (6) (9/2 +36%) Samoon Star	4.5 9/2(+36%)	(6) Samoon Star 9/2, Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, seventh of 12 in novice event at Chelmsford City (10f) 21 days ago. Makes handicap debut and should improve given pedigree. Classy pedigree; glimmer of promise and has more going for her now handicapping.
1 2nd (1) (50/1 -669%) Mariner	50 50/1(-669%)	(1) Mariner 50/1, Very good second of 8 in handicap at Wetherby (10f, good to firm, 11/1) 24 days ago. DIdn't look totally straightforward in the process but this looks to be his trip. Best handicap form when keeping-on 2nd of eight on turf latest; factor off the same mark.
5 3rd (5) (14/1 -759%) Dibble Dabble	14 14/1(-759%)	(5) Dibble Dabble 14/1, Two wins from 5 runs this year. 17/2, career best when winning 13-runner handicap at this C&D (good) 23 days ago, comfortably. Expected to be bang there up 7 lb for that smooth win. Impressive turf debut win over C&D (good to soft); good claims if coping with quick ground.
2 4th (2) (50/1 -1329%) Alvesta	50 50/1(-1329%)	(2) Alvesta 50/1, Improved again when second of 7 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, good) 12 days ago, going well when short of room, too. May have a bigger performance in her. Fared better when runner-up in first 1m2f handicap; further improvement not ruled out.
4 5th (4) (25/1 -39%) I Dare You	25 25/1(-39%)	(4) I Dare You 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good) 14 days ago. May have needed that reappearance but mark clearly demands more. Not yet shown much, including on handicap debut (1m); trip query on pedigree.
3 \|U\| (3) (80/1 -2567%) Ravenswell	80 80/1(-2567%)	(3) Ravenswell 80/1, 11/2, very good third of 7 in handicap at Salisbury (9.9f, good) 33 days ago, never nearer having been forced to switch. Has to be of interest. Hampered before strong-finishing 3rd over 1m2f at Salisbury latest; has scope at trip.

19:30 Leicester Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Having scored over C&D in some style earlier this month, another bold bid is forecast from DIBBLE DABBLE. That was the Time Test filly's first outing on turf and she could make light work of a 7lb higher mark. The biggest challenge may be mounted by Alvesta, who arrives on the back of a solid second at Bath, while Wetherby runner-up Mariner also appears capable of landing a race at this level.

A sextet to view positively with DIBBLE DABBLE, who looked transformed by the switch to turf and this trip last time, fancied to defy her new mark. Ravenswell was a bit unlucky at Salisbury so demands respect, while Samoon Star is the unknwon quantity in the race after just 3 starts and she's bred to be a lot better than her mark.

This looks open and SAMOON STAR is narrowly preferred on her handicap debut. Ravenswell is preferred for the runner-up spot.

6 1st (6) (2/7 +34%) Wafei	0.285714 2/7(+34%)	(6) Wafei 2/7, Returned with disappointing fourth of 8 in maiden at Windsor (10f, good to soft, 4/7) 59 days ago but very much sets the standard on last year's form. Gelded since last outing. Debut is easily his best form but both runs since still make him easily the form pick.
5 2nd (5) (40/1 -60%) Thomas G	40 40/1(-60%)	(5) Thomas G 40/1, Once-raced gelding. Seventh of 9 in maiden at Thirsk (8f, good to firm, 28/1) on debut 20 days ago. Looks one for handicaps down the line. 28-1, 15l seventh of nine in maiden at Thirsk (1m, good to firm), upset in the stalls.
3 3rd (3) (10/1 -264%) Royal College	10 10/1(-264%)	(3) Royal College 10/1, €75,000 yearling, Wootton Bassett colt. Half-brother to several winners, including useful 10.5f winner Lucky Look and winner up to 1m Millfield, both in France. Interesting newcomer. 75,000euros yearling; with useful pedigree, he needs a close look on debut.
1 4th (1) (100/1 -1329%) Twin Earth	100 100/1(-1329%)	(1) Twin Earth 100/1, Left Flat debut form behind when fourth of 13 in maiden (50/1) at Leicester (8.2f, good to soft) 23 days ago and must enter calculations. Started in bumpers; may well ideally need further than this trip but it's a weak race.
7 5th (7) (100/1 -203%) Pennymuir	100 100/1(-203%)	(7) Pennymuir 100/1, Berkshire filly. Dam, 10.7f winner, also won over hurdles. Likely a longer-term project. Dam 10.6f AW (RPR 87) and 2m hurdle winner; probably best watched on debut.
2 6th (2) (250/1 -150%) Crafty Dancer	250 250/1(-150%)	(2) Crafty Dancer 250/1, Eleventh of 12 in maiden at Carlisle (9f, soft, 250/1) on Flat debut 10 days ago, very slowly away. Hard to fancy. Well beaten in two bumpers in April/May and tailed off in a maiden at Carlisle (1m1f).
4 7th (4) (200/1 -100%) Royal Duke	200 200/1(-100%)	(4) Royal Duke 200/1, Once-raced gelding. 200/1, seventh of 10 in maiden at Musselburgh (8f, good to firm) on debut 14 days ago. Likely to need more time. 200-1, never dangerous when seventh of ten at Musselburgh (1m, good to firm).

19:45 Hamilton Maiden (Class 5) 9f Race Class Flow

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

William Haggas trained the winner of last year's renewal and is represented by WAFEI on this occasion. The latter failed to land the odds when only fourth at Windsor on his reappearance back in April, but he's been gelded subsequently and looks worth another chance. Twin Earth has yet to threaten in a couple of outings on the Flat, though he has finished third in a bumper and this extra distance should suit, while the newcomer Royal College is related to several winners.

WAFEI will likely start at prohibitive odds but can put his disappointing Windsor return behind him. Twin Earth is the obvious danger on form, whilst Charlie Johnston's newcomer Royal College is worth monitoring in the market.

Wafei dominates this field on ratings but there are warning signals too, so newcomer ROYAL COLLEGE needs a close look.

5 (5) (15/2 -50%) Bantry	7.5 15/2(-50%)	(5) Bantry 15/2, Unreliable type. Winner at Doncaster in April. Sixth of 9 in handicap at Salisbury (7f, good, 5/1) 11 days ago, slowly away. Others more persuasive. Doncaster win in April (7f, soft) despite getting plenty wrong; held off 6lb higher since.
4 1st (4) (7/2 -75%) Ten Commitments	3.5 7/2(-75%)	(4) Ten Commitments 7/2, Lightly-raced maiden who shaped well when a running-on second of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, good) 8 days ago. Holds leading claims back at 7f. Only just denied twice over 6f this month and could be okay over further; up 4lb.
3 2nd (3) (12/1 -20%) Swordplay	12 12/1(-20%)	(3) Swordplay 12/1, Tenth of 11 in handicap at Chester (7.6f, good, 14/1) 13 days ago so needs a couple of these to falter. Best form to date over galloping sprint tracks; inconclusive first run at 7f-plus latest.
6 3rd (6) (28/1 -75%) Korroor	28 28/1(-75%)	(6) Korroor 28/1, 14/1, last of 10 in handicap at Haydock (8f, soft) 34 days ago. Hood on 1st time with work to do. Excuses both 2024 starts (wouldn't settle; didn't stay 1m in mud); might revive here.
1 4th (1) (9/2 +36%) Yoshimi	4.5 9/2(+36%)	(1) Yoshimi 9/2, C&D winner. 22/1, respectable sixth of 13 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 19 days ago. In the mix. 2-5 here (both wins on good to firm); rather weakened out of things on most recent visit.
2 5th (2) (66/1 -2833%) Super Hit	66 66/1(-2833%)	(2) Super Hit 66/1, Lightly-raced winner. Scored at Chelmsford City in January. 13/2, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f). Off 91 days. Much respected on his turf debut. Gelded since last seen in March; unraced on turf but mark looks good and he's a 7f winner.
7 6th (7) (100/1 -1150%) Dan Dee Prince	100 100/1(-1150%)	(7) Dan Dee Prince 100/1, C&D winner. Seventh of 9 in handicap (9/2) at Brighton (7f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Others have achieved more. C&D nursery winner (good to firm) on sole previous visit; lacking consistency this term.

20:00 Leicester Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

TEN COMMITMENTS has filled the runner-up berth over 6f on his last two appearances, at Salisbury and Nottingham, and he looks ready for another tilt at 7f. The Jamie Osborne-trained three-year-old is taken to defy a 4lb rise in the ratings, possibly at the main expense of the reappearing Super Hit. Having undergone a gelding procedure since his third-placed effort at Southwell in March, Marco Botti's charge is open to improvement. Bantry makes most appeal of the remainder.

TEN COMMITMENTS signalled he is ready to get off the mark when a running-on second at Nottingham last week and can now go one better with this return to 7f also a likely plus. Super Hit has his first go on turf but could emerge as the chief threat off a handy-looking mark with C&D winner Yoshimi also in the picture.

The newly gelded SUPER HIT is taken to distribute his energies better again and condemn Ten Commitments to another second place.

20:15 Hamilton Handicap (Class 5) 11f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
6 1st (6) (80/1 -220%) Penelope's Sister	80 80/1(-220%)	(6) Penelope's Sister 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 11/1, creditable sixth of 10 in handicap at this course (9.2f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Up in trip. Work to do from out of the weights. Out of the frame in five starts (missed 2023); has it to do from 4lb out of the weights.
4 2nd (4) (11/8 +27%) Clear Storm	1.375 11/8(+27%)	(4) Clear Storm 11/8, Posted career best when winning on handicap debut at Nottingham (10.2f) last month and ran to similar level when fifth at Chelmsford (10f) 21 days ago. Likely contender up in trip in first-time cheekpieces. Held on AW last time but 1-1 on turf; major player back on grass; cheekpieces on.
3 3rd (3) (25/1 -614%) Reyaadah Star	25 25/1(-614%)	(3) Reyaadah Star 25/1, Winner at Kempton in May. 11/4, fourth of 7 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 15 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Not discounted. May enjoy an uncontested lead and that could make her dangerous; cheekpieces on.
2 4th (2) (22/1 -340%) Purple Gown	22 22/1(-340%)	(2) Purple Gown 22/1, Bounced back to best, returned to Flat, when winning 7-runner handicap over C&D (good to firm) 8 days ago, just holding on. Things will be tougher under 5 lb penalty but she warrants respect nonetheless. 5lb penalty for winning by a nose over C&D eight days ago; just 2-33 but is in form.
1 5th (1) (100/1 -1233%) Typical Woman	100 100/1(-1233%)	(1) Typical Woman 100/1, Twelfth of 16 in handicap at Wetherby (10f, good to firm, 33/1) on return 24 days ago. May have needed that but percentage call is to look elsewhere. Probably needed this month's Wetherby return, but ground faster than good may not be ideal.
5 6th (5) (100/1 -3536%) Kinematica	100 100/1(-3536%)	(5) Kinematica 100/1, Disappointed latest but showed ability in maidens previously and is bred to be suited to this longer trip on switch to handicapping. Player. Didn't build on a promising debut, but this test on handicap debut should suit on breeding.

20:15 Hamilton Handicap (Class 5) 11f Race Class Flow

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

Purple Gown has to be respected following her C&D win last week, although a 5lb penalty will make life tougher for her here. With that in mind, preference is for CLEAR STORM, who was a close fifth at Chelmsford last time and that performance suggests that her current mark is workable. Reyaadah Star edges out Kinematica to be best of the rest.

CLEAR STORM should appreciate this longer trip and can resume winning ways. Kinematica could prove a different proposition on her handicap debut and is feared most.

The choice is CLEAR STORM (nap) who is 1-1 on turf and shaped last time as though this stiffer test might suit.

20:30 Leicester Handicap (Class 6) 8f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (9/2 -13%) Salamanca Lad	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(1) Salamanca Lad 9/2, 9/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, good third of 8 in handicap at Ripon (8f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Can give a good account. Back to form with third at Ripon (1m, good) and has claims if he can build on that.
3 2nd (3) (40/1 -1233%) Monks Mead	40 40/1(-1233%)	(3) Monks Mead 40/1, Below-par fourth of 8 in handicap (7/4) at Lingfield (7.6f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Has good chance at these weights if back on his A-game. Bit disappointing at Lingfield latest but has claims on his close call at Bath last month.
4 3rd (4) (12/1 -60%) Magnificent Match	12 12/1(-60%)	(4) Magnificent Match 12/1, Winner at Yarmouth in April. 11/1, respectable seventh of 13 in handicap at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Very much one to consider. Record of 1-12 and he's finished down the field in last three runs; others preferred.
7 4th (7) (9/1 -100%) Hey Big Spender	9 9/1(-100%)	(7) Hey Big Spender 9/1, Lope De Vega colt who came in eleventh of 13 in maiden at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft, 20/1) 15 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Makes handicap debut and should have more to offer. Well-bred filly who could show a lot more now switched to a handicap; blinkers added.
2 5th (2) (16/1 -45%) Etretat	16 16/1(-45%)	(2) Etretat 16/1, Respectable fourth of 7 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, good, 11/1) 12 days ago. Possibilities. On reduced mark but he's now 0-10 and has been well held in last five runs; down the list.
5 6th (5) (40/1 -186%) Solo Solataire	40 40/1(-186%)	(5) Solo Solataire 40/1, 66/1, first run since leaving Patrick Gallagher when tenth of 13 in maiden at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) on UK debut 15 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Needs to take a step forward. Unexposed filly with a good pedigree and needs watching in market on handicap debut.
8 7th (8) (100/1 -3536%) Aspire To Glory	100 100/1(-3536%)	(8) Aspire To Glory 100/1, Kickstarted 2024 with success at Lingfield in January and has continued in very good form, second of 9 in handicap at Ripon (8f, good) 7 days ago. Player off an unchanged mark. Good second on slow ground at Ripon last week and has claims if he can repeat that form.
6 8th (6) (80/1 -344%) Excel In Space	80 80/1(-344%)	(6) Excel In Space 80/1, Tongue strap/cheekpieces on for 1st time, thirteenth of 14 in minor event (150/1) at Naas (5.9f, good to soft) 9 months ago on his final run for Michael Mulvany. Needs to hit the ground running for his new handler. Untried beyond sprint trips and has plenty to prove on return for new yard.

20:30 Leicester Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

ASPIRE TO GLORY didn't do himself any favours when hanging right at Ripon last week, but he wasn't beaten too far at the finish and reappears quickly before his 1lb rise can come into effect. Salamanca Lad has offered encouragement since joining new connections, particularly with his recent effort for third at Ripon. Monks Mead is another to consider on the step back up in trip, and there is a chance the beautifully-bred Hey Big Spender is thrown in on her handicap bow.

A few with chances but the vote goes to ASPIRE TO GLORY who arrives in very good nick and can now go one better than at Ripon last time out and gain a deserved second success of 2024. Salamanca Lad is next on the list on the back of his good recent third at the same track ahead of handily-weighted Monks Mead.

An open race in which SALAMANCA LAD gets the vote ahead of Aspire To Glory and the handicap newcomer Hey Big Spender.

20:45 Hamilton Handicap (Class 6) 6f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (14/1 -17%) Thaki	14 14/1(-17%)	(3) Thaki 14/1, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 33/1, bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, good) 17 days ago. Chance on old form. Better known for his AW exploits and was just a respectable fifth on turf this month.
4 2nd (4) (11/1 -214%) Captain Dandy	11 11/1(-214%)	(4) Captain Dandy 11/1, Made a winning return at Wolverhampton (6.1f) in April and arrives on back of solid fourth of 14 in handicap (15/2) over C&D (good to firm) 15 days ago. Likely contender. Won on AW in April, after a break, and ran well when fourth over C&D a fortnight ago.
1 3rd (1) (80/1 -3100%) Giselles Izzy	80 80/1(-3100%)	(1) Giselles Izzy 80/1, Won this contest (off 8 lb lower) last season and has scored twice at this course since, latest over 5f last month. Remains feasibly treated and is one for shortlist. Two lesser efforts have followed last month's course win but she runs this track very well.
2 4th (2) (100/1 -1567%) So Grateful	100 100/1(-1567%)	(2) So Grateful 100/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 15/2, seventh of 9 in handicap at Catterick (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Others more persuasive. Yet to hit top gear this season but drops in grade and lurks on a dangerous mark.
5 5th (5) (66/1 -560%) Hardman	66 66/1(-560%)	(5) Hardman 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Blinkered for 1st time, ninth of 10 in handicap at Carlisle (7.8f, good to firm, 11/2) 38 days ago. Back down in trip. Improvement required. Well beaten after refusing to settle over 1m on h'cap debut; quickly drops back in trip.
7 6th (7) (50/1 -2400%) Cuban Rock	50 50/1(-2400%)	(7) Cuban Rock 50/1, Posted solid efforts the last twice, latest when close third of 13 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) 3 days ago, running on. Effective over this longer trip and must enter calculations. Has twice gone close off this mark over 5f this month (once here); in the mix again.
6 7th (6) (100/1 -203%) Chookie Dunedin	100 100/1(-203%)	(6) Chookie Dunedin 100/1, Twenty one runs since last win in 2022. Last of 12 in handicap (50/1) at Newcastle (6f). Off 175 days. Likely best watched. Looked out of sorts when last seen in the winter and needs to prove some ability remains.

20:45 Hamilton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

CUBAN ROCK has made the frame on his last couple of starts, including a narrow second over 5f here on his penultimate outing, and the four-year-old appears to be the safest pick in a moderate event. The recent C&D fourth Captain Dandy may prove to be the main threat to the selection, although Thaki and So Grateful are others who could go well.

GISELLES IZZY caught the eye at Thirsk last time and goes particularly well at this course. She makes plenty of appeal. Captain Dandy and Cuban Rock look the likeliest dangers.

Class-dropper SO GRATEFUL ought to find this easier than his recent assignments and is taken to exploit some help from the handicapper.

21:00 Leicester Handicap (Class 5) 5f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
4 1st (4) (7/1 -56%) Catch Cunningham	7 7/1(-56%)	(4) Catch Cunningham 7/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. 17/2, creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Possibilities. First turf run of 2024 (latest) was a good one, beaten just over 1l; needs to back it up.
2 2nd (2) (5/1 +50%) Majeski Man	5 5/1(+50%)	(2) Majeski Man 5/1, 18/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (5f). Off 118 days. Every chance if back to best. Moderate winter on Tapeta but revival not impossible from 4lb below his last winning mark.
5 3rd (5) (14/1 -460%) Scoops Ahoy	14 14/1(-460%)	(5) Scoops Ahoy 14/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time when bagging 6-runner handicap (5/1) at Redcar (5f, soft) 31 days ago. Needs considering with the headgear again sported. Fair rise of just 2lb for last-time Redcar win (5f, soft); cheekpieces are retained.
1 4th (1) (5/2 +17%) Maharajas Express	2.5 5/2(+17%)	(1) Maharajas Express 5/2, Latest win at Bath in April. Good fifth of 14 in handicap (14/1) at Sandown (5f, good to firm) 13 days ago, nearest finish having not enjoyed a clear run over 1f out. Expected to be bang there off the same mark. No luck in the run but back to form at Sandown latest; player if able to back that up.
6 5th (6) (10/1 +0%) Looby	10 10/1(+0%)	(6) Looby 10/1, Last of 5 in handicap (10/1) at Chepstow (5.1f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time with more required. Surface and trip fine, but last home on two latest outings; blinkers now reached for.
7 6th (7) (14/1 +0%) Cool Run	14 14/1(+0%)	(7) Cool Run 14/1, Last of 12 in handicap at Chester (6.1f, good, 14/1) 13 days ago. Still low mileage and in good hands so shouldn't be written off yet. Possible excuses both 2024 starts; well handicapped on best 2yo Tapeta form (5f and 6f).
3 7th (3) (7/2 +0%) Miami Heat	3.5 7/2(+0%)	(3) Miami Heat 7/2, Only a fair fifth of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to firm, 13/2) 25 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time now. Back on his Polytrack winning mark; chance if able to stay 7f on turf; blinkers added.

21:00 Leicester Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

A determined winner at Redcar last time out, SCOOPS AHOY should have plenty more improvement forthcoming off a 2lb higher mark and he looks the one to beat if handling the quicker ground. A winner at Bath in April, Maharajas Express hasn't quite rediscovered that form since but he is a key player, along with Miami Heat, who makes just his third start for the in-form George Boughey stable.

MAHARAJAS EXPRESS didn't enjoy the rub of the green when a good Sandown fifth last time so is fancied to resume winning ways off an unchanged mark here. Scoop's Ahoy showed the benefit of cheekpieces when going in at Redcar and is next on the list. In-form Catch Cunningham can also have a say in an open sprint.

Last-time soft ground winner Scoops Ahoy is taken on with MAHARAJAS EXPRESS, unlucky not to go closer last time out.

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.
