13:55 Thirsk Handicap (Class 6) 8f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 (1) (4/1 -20%) Admiral Nelson	4 4/1(-20%)	(1) Admiral Nelson 4/1, 10/1, bit below form eighth of 13 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good to firm) 2 days ago. Still, he would have a real chance in this company if he were to put his best foot forward. Has yet to win over this far and never threatened to put that right at Redcar on Saturday.
4 1st (4) (11/2 +21%) Island Of Skye	5.5 11/2(+21%)	(4) Island Of Skye 11/2, 9/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f). Off 170 days ahead of this debut for new yard and cheekpieces back on. Solid chance judged on pick of last season's form. Both wins on the AW but has comparable form on turf; same owners but a new yard.
9 2nd (9) (25/1 -108%) Doomsday	25 25/1(-108%)	(9) Doomsday 25/1, One win from 24 Flat runs. 40/1, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.1f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Place possibilities. Not a bad run at Musselburgh 11 days ago having endured a wide trip.
8 3rd (8) (9/1 +55%) Chinese Spirit	9 9/1(+55%)	(8) Chinese Spirit 9/1, Below form seventh of 13 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm, 33/1) 12 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Given a chance by the handicapper but looks vulnerable all the same. Multiple winner but into the veteran stage now and hasn't really got going this season.
3 4th (3) (5/1 -25%) Ivasecret	5 5/1(-25%)	(3) Ivasecret 5/1, 11/1, bit below form sixth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 12 days ago. No worthwhile turf form to his name and it's easy enough to look elsewhere. Five-time AW winner whose turf figures don't read remotely as well.
5 5th (5) (11/1 +56%) Create	11 11/1(+56%)	(5) Create 11/1, Blinkered for 1st time, eighth of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good, 28/1) 22 days ago. Hopes pinned on the first-time cheekpieces helping to spark a return to form. Plenty of initial promise so she's been disappointing in handicaps; cheekpieces added.
7 6th (7) (11/2 +61%) Cloch Nua	5.5 11/2(+61%)	(7) Cloch Nua 11/2, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 50/1, creditable seventh of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 20 days ago. Not without each-way hope. Twice placed on turf and his latest Wolverhampton run was eyecatching.
6 7th (6) (10/3 +58%) Masterpainter	3.333333 10/3(+58%)	(6) Masterpainter 10/3, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Tenth of 12 in handicap (14/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 20 days ago. Blinkers back on. Others preferred for win purposes. A well-handicapped C&D winner and the return of blinkers might not be a bad thing.
2 8th (2) (7/1 -250%) Odd Socks Havana	7 7/1(-250%)	(2) Odd Socks Havana 7/1, Latest win at Newcastle in April. Creditable second of 12 in handicap (22/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 20 days ago, running on. Clearly more of a force on synthetics but he has won on turf and has to enter calculations. Best form on the AW but has won on turf and he arrives here in good form.

13:55 Thirsk Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

ODD SOCKS HAVANA may still be improving judged on his second-placed finish over the extended 1m at Wolverhampton earlier in the month, when only held by three-quarters of a length despite not getting a clear run when making his late challenge. With a victory on good ground on his CV, the Rebecca Menzies-trained gelding can gain swift compensation as he returns to turf off the same mark as last time. Ivasecret also switches back to grass and is well treated in relation to his all-weather rating, while Island Of Skye is beginning to look feasibly treated again.

ISLAND OF SKYE failed to fire at Southwell when last seen in January but he proved pretty consistent last year and is taken to make a winning start for new connections here. Next on the list is Odd Socks Havana, who has been in good heart of late. Though below par at Redcar on Saturday, Admiral Nelson could also have a part to play if turned out again quickly.

This could be slowly run. ODD SOCKS HAVANA seems tactically versatile and in better form than most.

14:10 Chepstow Handicap (Class 6) 10f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
4 1st (4) (8/13 -9%) Red Cloud	0.615385 8/13(-9%)	(4) Red Cloud 8/13, Has shaped well when runner-up in handicaps at Brighton (7f/1m) this year. This looks a good opportunity for him to get off the mark. Two solid efforts at Brighton and has been found the ideal opening if his stamina holds.
2 2nd (2) (5/1 -67%) Checkmeout	5 5/1(-67%)	(2) Checkmeout 5/1, Did reach the frame in a couple of AW handicaps last autumn. Creditable sixth of 13 over this trip at Windsor in a refitted hood last time. Probably the chief threat to Red Cloud. Fully exposed now and always the danger she over-races again back into this smaller field.
5 3rd (5) (11/1 +21%) Scarbados	11 11/1(+21%)	(5) Scarbados 11/1, Poor maiden who has yet to make a significant impact in handicaps. Well held all starts to date; the hood comes off as she comes right back in distance.
3 4th (3) (14/1 +0%) Daylight Ransom	14 14/1(+0%)	(3) Daylight Ransom 14/1, Down the field in all 3 handicaps, faring no better when stepped up to this trip with cheekpiece added last time. Hollie Doyle takes the ride but it's still hard to be too positive. Four poor efforts since joining from Mark Loughnane and is hard to recommend.
1 5th (1) (10/1 -25%) Quickfire	10 10/1(-25%)	(1) Quickfire 10/1, Won a turf maiden last June but he's rarely threatened in handicaps since, finish seventh of 10 at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm, 33/1) 30 days ago, Come 22lb down the weights since his nursery debut and should be competitive now.

14:10 Chepstow Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

RED CLOUD finished just over three lengths clear of the third when hitting the crossbar over a mile at Brighton last time and this step up in trip looks a good move. Gary & Josh Moore's three-year-old goes off a 1lb higher mark and he could prove very tough to beat. The main danger is Checkmeout, who ran a lot better when sixth at Windsor earlier in the month and could get closer off a 2lb lower rating, while Quickfire may appreciate this slight drop in trip.

RED CLOUD stands out as an in-form sort in this line-up and should prove hard to beat. Roger Varian's Checkmeout can chase him home.

The dam's side of RED CLOUD's pedigree gives hope he'll be fine with the step up from 1m and he's unlikely to be found a better chance.

14:25 Thirsk Maiden (Class 5) 8f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
4 1st (4) (3/10 +17%) Fayqa	0.3 3/10(+17%)	(4) Fayqa 3/10, Promising type. 11/4, second of 9 in maiden at Nottingham (8.3f, good) 34 days ago, clear of rest. Has good chance on form with promise of more to come. Beaten a neck at Nottingham last time; winner finished third in the Britannia; big chance.
6 2nd (6) (20/1 -186%) Star Of Kilfrush	20 20/1(-186%)	(6) Star Of Kilfrush 20/1, Twice-raced filly. Sixth of 8 in maiden at Newcastle (7.1f, 7/2). Off 108 days. Sixth in both starts on the AW earlier in year; handicaps may offer better opportunities.
2 3rd (2) (22/1 -38%) Celestial Wave	22 22/1(-38%)	(2) Celestial Wave 22/1, In good hands but low-key start to the campaign when seventh of 8 in maiden at Beverley (7.4f, soft) on debut 26 days ago. Well held on last month's Beverley debut; improvement needed.
3 4th (3) (4/1 +0%) Eranthis	4 4/1(+0%)	(3) Eranthis 4/1, Good third on debut at Haydock in September but unable to match that twice since, 25/1, seventh of 11 in novice event back there (7f, good) 18 days ago. Hasn't built on a promising debut in two subsequent starts; needs a resurgence.
1 5th (1) (500/1 -233%) Cherrytreeprincess	500 500/1(-233%)	(1) Cherrytreeprincess 500/1, Last both starts. Tailed off in both starts.

14:25 Thirsk Maiden (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Despite the winner not being all out at the finish, FAYQA's neck second to Native Warrior at Nottingham last month reads very well in the context of this race after the winner finished third in the Britannia at Royal Ascot. Kevin Philippart De Foy's filly could take another step forward and she is preferred to Eranthis, who showed promise on debut but has failed to back that up in two subsequent starts. Star Of Kilfrush could be better after a break.

FAYQA stands out on form having pulled clear of the rest when second at Nottingham last month, the winner that day advertising the form since. Eranthis looks the one for the forecast.

This looks good for FAYQA whose close second at Nottingham last time was boosted by the winner at Royal Ascot on Thursday.

14:45 Chepstow Stakes (Class 5) 10f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (10/3 -90%) Pack Ice	3.333333 10/3(-90%)	(7) Pack Ice 10/3, Promising type. 20/1, second of 10 in maiden at Redcar (10f, soft) 27 days ago, clear of rest. That is comfortably the best form on offer. Two decent runs on soft; related to winners on fast surfaces and about sets the standard.
1 2nd (1) (9/2 +72%) Mighty Bandit	4.5 9/2(+72%)	(1) Mighty Bandit 9/2, Fairly useful winner at 17f over hurdles and changed hands for €420,000 from Gordon Elliott. Sixth of 15 in minor event at Windsor (10f, good to firm, 100/1) on Flat debut 14 days ago, missing break. Capable of better as stamina is drawn out on the level. Struggled for this yard since a 420,000euros sale in February; has it to prove now.
6 3rd (6) (7/2 +0%) Miss Dandylion	3.5 7/2(+0%)	(6) Miss Dandylion 7/2, Promising individual. Fourth of 10 in novice event (25/1) at Lingfield (7.6f, good) on debut 14 days ago, slowly away. Significantly up in trip. May well do better with that under her belt. Came home nicely after a slow start on her 7.6f debut; holds leading claims on that.
2 4th (2) (17/2 -113%) Ribba Hill	8.5 17/2(-113%)	(2) Ribba Hill 17/2, Expertly prepared to win 5-runner maiden at Newcastle (12.4f) on debut 52 days ago, well positioned in what was a slowly-run race. That probably isn't the most robust piece of form. Stable not noted for newcomers, so pleasing to see him win first time up; needs more now.
5 5th (5) (9/2 +0%) Guendolen	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(5) Guendolen 9/2, Hooded, fourth of 10 in maiden (18/1) at Lingfield (9f, good to firm) on debut 27 days ago, never nearer having displayed signs of greenness. Should have more to offer. Blew the start when shaping with promise on her Lingfield (turf) debut; will know more now.
3 6th (3) (8/1 +0%) Beale Street Blues	8 8/1(+0%)	(3) Beale Street Blues 8/1, 1,000 gns yearling, Night of Thunder gelding. Half-brother to 6f winner Mezzotinto. Wears cheekpieces for debut. Gelded newcomer who went for 1,000gns as a yearling; market will show what's expected.
4 7th (4) (35/1 -119%) Offiah's Boy	35 35/1(-119%)	(4) Offiah's Boy 35/1, Mid-field on debut but in nothing like the same form when last of 4 in novice event at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 7 days ago. Has offered little in two runs and eased off when remote last of 4 at Windsor last week.
8 8th (8) (200/1 -100%) Rust E Gal	200 200/1(-100%)	(8) Rust E Gal 200/1, 50/1, eighth of 9 in maiden at Lingfield (7f, AW) on debut 32 days ago, very slowly away. Significantly up in trip. Goes right up in trip switched to turf; needs to leave her debut run well behind.

14:45 Chepstow Stakes (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Ribba Hill struck by a head over an extended 1m4f at Newcastle on his debut last month and he could have more to offer, but this will be tough shouldering a 7lb penalty and PACK ICE is preferred. Ollie Pears' filly took a step forward from her first start when denied by two lengths into second at Redcar last time and, with further progression likely, she could be the one to beat. Guendolen finished a fair fourth at Lingfield on her racecourse debut and completes the shortlist.

PACK ICE's runner-up effort at Redcar sets the clear standard, and with her limit not yet reached, she has to be the way to go. Miss Dandylion showed ability amidst greenness starting out at Lingfield and the way she shaped there suggests this trip will suit, with Guendolen also of interest.

The vote goes to MISS DANDYLION, who came home strongly once the penny dropped on her recent 7.6f debut. Guendolen is next best.

15:00 Thirsk Stakes (Class 6) 6f - 20 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
20 (20) (28/1 -12%) War Zone	28 28/1(-12%)	(20) War Zone 28/1, Fifth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 16/1) 53 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Makes turf debut. Bit better latterly but he was ultimately regressive on the AW.
7 1st (7) (6/1 +14%) Eternal Sunshine	6 6/1(+14%)	(7) Eternal Sunshine 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap (18/1) at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm) 11 days ago. One to take seriously with step back up in trip sure to suit. Best effort yet in a 5f handicap last time and holds leading claims back up a furlong.
17 2nd (17) (25/1 -150%) Calafrio	25 25/1(-150%)	(17) Calafrio 25/1, Modest filly. Fifth of 6 in handicap at Carlisle (6.9f, good to soft, 11/4) 25 days ago. Claims on her comeback Ripon effort; is one of the likelier candidates drawn low.
1 3rd (1) (50/1 -1150%) Ustath	50 50/1(-1150%)	(1) Ustath 50/1, Modest gelding. C&D winner. Won 8-runner handicap (5/2) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 4 days ago. Rare run on turf and that asks a question. Previous C&D winner and has a fair chance of following up under a 4lb penalty.
16 4th (16) (12/1 +52%) Variety Island	12 12/1(+52%)	(16) Variety Island 12/1, Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good to firm, 9/1) 16 days ago. Can give a good account. Has done most recent racing over 7f and not been as good since a win in April.
4 5th (4) (33/1 +0%) Birdie Bowers	33 33/1(+0%)	(4) Birdie Bowers 33/1, Modest gelding. Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. Blinkered for first time, tenth of 11 in handicap (22/1) at Newcastle (5f). Off 6 months so he may just need this. Rarely goes beyond 5f these days and is entitled to need this after six months off.
2 6th (2) (12/1 -140%) Ben Dikduk	12 12/1(-140%)	(2) Ben Dikduk 12/1, Down in the weights and easily best effort for this yard when winning 14-runner handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Has to be taken seriously on the back of that. Popped up from nowhere last time; it wouldn't be a shock were he to go in again.
6 7th (6) (33/1 -136%) Delagate The Lady	33 33/1(-136%)	(6) Delagate The Lady 33/1, 14/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW), left poorly placed. Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving Robyn Brisland. Has often gone well fresh in the past; is one of the likelier sorts drawn low.
8 8th (8) (33/1 -313%) Flavius Titus	33 33/1(-313%)	(8) Flavius Titus 33/1, C&D winner. 28/1, respectable third of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 52 days ago. Enters calculations. Habitual slow starter who won a similar race over C&D last August; one to consider.
9 9th (9) (20/1 -186%) Gidwa	20 20/1(-186%)	(9) Gidwa 20/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in April. 12/1, respectable third of 11 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to soft) 6 days ago. Patchy profile on turf but won't mind the return to sprinting for a yard among the winners.
12 10th (12) (16/1 +0%) Kitbag	16 16/1(+0%)	(12) Kitbag 16/1, Bit below form fifth of 14 in handicap at Redcar (6f, soft, 16/1) 27 days ago. Blinkers replace usual visor. Rather struggled since joining from Jack Channon; wins both came on the AW.
3 11th (3) (14/1 +44%) Bernie The Bear	14 14/1(+44%)	(3) Bernie The Bear 14/1, Modest gelding. 12/1, 10½ lengths thirteenth of 14 to Ben Dikduk in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and he needs to bounce back. String of defeats at short prices on the AW this year; stable form could be better.
18 12th (18) (80/1 -300%) Just Typical	80 80/1(-300%)	(18) Just Typical 80/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 125/1 and hooded for first time, eleventh of 12 in minor event at Nottingham (6.1f, good to firm) 44 days ago. Slowly away and/or inclined to pull hard in three runs to date; watch the market.
14 13th (14) (20/1 -25%) Secret Daay	20 20/1(-25%)	(14) Secret Daay 20/1, Remains a maiden after 22 Flat runs. Fourth of 7 in handicap at Catterick (7f, soft, 15/2) 32 days ago. Has work to do. Been running over 7f of late and most of his best efforts have come on Tapeta.
10 14th (10) (100/1 -525%) Glorious Rio	100 100/1(-525%)	(10) Glorious Rio 100/1, Twenty six runs since last win in 2022. Ninth of 11 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good, 6/1) 38 days ago. Hasn't won in almost two years and has suffered plenty of costly defeats in the interim.
19 15th (19) (250/1 -658%) Thea Bell	250 250/1(-658%)	(19) Thea Bell 250/1, 80/1, last of 10 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces on for first time. Had issues at the start and looked very limited thus far; headgear goes on.
15 16th (15) (100/1 -400%) See My Baby Jive	100 100/1(-400%)	(15) See My Baby Jive 100/1, Modest mare. Ninth of 10 in handicap (28/1) at Carlisle (5.8f, good) 14 days ago, very slowly away. Risky proposition given issues at the stalls. Hasn't been in any form this season, including back in the blinkers latest.
11 17th (11) (28/1 -250%) Irish Dancer	28 28/1(-250%)	(11) Irish Dancer 28/1, Last of 7 in handicap at Catterick (5f, soft, 5/2) 32 days ago. Blinkers on and better could be forthcoming on drying ground. Unsuited by soft when well beaten at a short price last time; the return to 6f won't hurt.
13 18th (13) (200/1 -506%) Metal Beau	200 200/1(-506%)	(13) Metal Beau 200/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 11/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 20 days ago. Makes turf debut and others more convincing kept to 6f. Yet to go close to finishing placed; among the lowest rated and doesn't make much appeal.

15:00 Thirsk Stakes (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Ben Dikduk sprang a 33/1 surprise when landing a 6f Hamilton handicap 12 days ago but he needs to prove that was no fluke and the safer option may be USTATH. The eight-year-old confirmed his well-being with a 5f victory at Wolverhampton last week and, with a C&D victory to his name, he can go well back on turf under the in-form Billy Loughnane. Fellow track-and-trip winner Flavius Titus is another to consider.

Quantity over quality here with a chance taken on ETERNAL SUNSHINE back up in trip with a high draw usually no bad thing over 6f. Ben Dikduk and Ustath can call upon recent winning form so have more going for them than most.

A sister to four winners for the yard who did better last time, ETERNAL SUNSHINE is preferred to Irish Dancer.

15:15 Chepstow Handicap (Class 6) 7f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (16/1 -45%) Porterinthejungle	16 16/1(-45%)	(1) Porterinthejungle 16/1, C&D winner. 18/1, eighth of 14 in handicap at this course (6.1f, good) 7 days ago. Others preferred. Well suited by undulating courses and a return to form wouldn't surprise back in headgear.
5 2nd (5) (5/1 +0%) Fact Or Fable	5 5/1(+0%)	(5) Fact Or Fable 5/1, Three-time C&D winner who took a step back in the right direction when fourth of 9 in handicap at this course (8.1f, good to firm, 8/1) 16 days ago. Figures off a handy mark and must enter calculations. Won three over C&D last summer and is back on a handy mark for a yard going well of late.
9 3rd (9) (22/1 -175%) Peachey Carnehan	22 22/1(-175%)	(9) Peachey Carnehan 22/1, Course winner. 14/1, eighth of 14 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Not discounted. 1 lb out of the weights. Into the veteran stage, lacks consistency now and doesn't arrive in any form.
11 4th (11) (4/1 -14%) Maverick Style	4 4/1(-14%)	(11) Maverick Style 4/1, Scored at Chelmsford City over this trip in December. Below form on slow ground at Leicester latest but is back on last winning mark and usual headgear is reapplied. Likely contender. Blinkers worn for her AW win go back on and she should fare better.
8 5th (8) (11/1 +67%) Dynamite Katie	11 11/1(+67%)	(8) Dynamite Katie 11/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 50/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Bath (8f, good) 17 days ago. Chance on old form. Ex-Irish filly who's struggled for this yard, coming more than two stone down the handicap.
2 6th (2) (7/2 +22%) Diamondsinthesand	3.5 7/2(+22%)	(2) Diamondsinthesand 7/2, Consistent sort who posted another solid effort when fourth of 14 in handicap at this course (6.1f, good) 7 days ago. Likely to be in the mix again. Consistent and been threatening round here of late; the step back up from 6f should suit.
4 7th (4) (16/1 -146%) Sisters In The Sky	16 16/1(-146%)	(4) Sisters In The Sky 16/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. 9/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at this course (6.1f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Not taken lightly. Slow starts have cost him the past twice and he's capable off this mark if they go hard.
3 8th (3) (250/1 -900%) Iconic Knight	250 250/1(-900%)	(3) Iconic Knight 250/1, 3-time C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 33/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at this course (6.1f, good to firm) 16 days ago, very slowly away. Work to do. Isn't without hope down another 3lb and back under his optimum conditions.
7 9th (7) (15/2 -114%) Midnight Flame	7.5 15/2(-114%)	(7) Midnight Flame 15/2, Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. 7/2, respectable third of 10 in minor event at Bath (5.7f, good) 17 days ago. Back up in trip. Should give another good account. In fair form this season but in sprints; still to convince on the stamina front over 7f.
6 10th (6) (200/1 -1150%) Lion Ring	200 200/1(-1150%)	(6) Lion Ring 200/1, Last of 10 in novice hurdle at Worcester (16f, good to soft, 40/1) on NH debut 23 days ago. Back up in trip. Modest on the Flat, below form on last Flat outing. Others more appealing. Has just a single win to his name and is some way down the pecking order.
10 11th (10) (450/1 -1264%) Hey Pretty	450 450/1(-1264%)	(10) Hey Pretty 450/1, Thirty two runs since last win in 2018. Eleventh of 12 in minor event (40/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f). Off 114 days. Blinkers back on. Hard to fancy. Several lengthy absences and returns from four months off today; hard to fancy.

15:15 Chepstow Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Midnight Flame hit the frame over an extended 5f in a classified event at Bath earlier in the month and she is an interesting contender back up in trip in a handicap. However, the vote goes to FACT OR FABLE, who was beaten into fourth over a mile here last time and was dropped 1lb for that effort. The seven-year-old continues to lurk on an appealing mark and he looks the way to go, while Diamondsinthesand is another to consider.

Sole 3-y-o MAVERICK STYLE will be better suited by the likely quicker ground here and can return to winning ways. Fact Or Fable and Diamondsinthesand rate the principal dangers.

This can go to FACT OR FABLE (nap), who won three over C&D last summer, and is back on a handy mark. Iconic Knight can do better.

Form	Odds	Runs
13 (13) (10/1 -25%) Munificent	10 10/1(-25%)	(13) Munificent 10/1, Excuses when fifth of 10 in handicap (9/2) at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) 45 days ago, forced to switch. Probably still in form having finished runner-up prior to that and he merits consideration. Comes here in good order, fifth at Nottingham last month; he's one for the shortlist.
9 (9) (11/2 -10%) Jack Of Clubs	5.5 11/2(-10%)	(9) Jack Of Clubs 11/2, Bounced back to form on a rare go at the minimum trip when excellent second of 13 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good) 23 days ago. Shortlist material from same mark. Got right back on track when second at Musselburgh 23 days ago; player off the same mark.
7 1st (7) (9/2 +36%) Golden Rainbow	4.5 9/2(+36%)	(7) Golden Rainbow 9/2, C&D winner. 3 wins from 12 runs this year. Latest win here in June. Respectable third of 8 in handicap (9/4) at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm) 11 days ago having helped set a strong gallop. Scored over C&D before good Musselburgh third; well in the mix off an unchanged mark.
4 2nd (4) (4/1 -100%) Rainbow Rain	4 4/1(-100%)	(4) Rainbow Rain 4/1, Course winner. Creditable third of 10 in handicap (6/5) at Carlisle (5.8f, good) 14 days ago, headed late, Clearly in good order so another bold bid forthcoming. Course scorer who is knocking on the door again; he merits serious consideration.
14 3rd (14) (15/2 +32%) Cuban Rock	7.5 15/2(+32%)	(14) Cuban Rock 15/2, One win from 25 Flat runs. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Very good second of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good to firm, 20/1) 12 days ago. That was a big step in the right direction from his reduced mark. Back to form with Hamilton second 12 days ago; he's weighted to go well off the same mark.
8 4th (8) (12/1 +40%) Spanish Angel	12 12/1(+40%)	(8) Spanish Angel 12/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in May. 8/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Ripon (5f, good to firm) 19 days ago, rearing leaving stalls. Won at Wolverhampton (5f) in May but he's failed to back it up in three subsequent outings.
2 5th (2) (80/1 -60%) Equity's Darling	80 80/1(-60%)	(2) Equity's Darling 80/1, Course winner. 80/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Almost certainly needed that first run for 14 months. Course winner; rusty after 14 months off when Doncaster ninth; can step forward now.
5 6th (5) (40/1 -21%) Lezardrieux	40 40/1(-21%)	(5) Lezardrieux 40/1, 28/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Catterick (6f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Risky proposition at present despite fact he's back on his last winning mark. Yet to fire in two runs this term, beating only one at Catterick (6f) 16 days ago.
15 7th (15) (16/1 -14%) Canaria Prince	16 16/1(-14%)	(15) Canaria Prince 16/1, Ninth of 10 in handicap at Ripon (5f, good, 4/1) 5 days ago. Blinkers back on. Must improve. In decent nick without winning until poor Ripon ninth five days ago; a bit to prove now.
12 8th (12) (40/1 -100%) Sixcor	40 40/1(-100%)	(12) Sixcor 40/1, Last of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm, 5/1) 11 days ago, though not given a hard time once chance had gone. In good form until last at Musselburgh 11 days ago; he's the sort to bounce back though.
6 9th (6) (40/1 -567%) Sir Benedict	40 40/1(-567%)	(6) Sir Benedict 40/1, Three wins from 12 runs this year. 8/1, won 11-runner handicap at Nottingham (5f, good) 11 days ago. 2 lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid. Bagged a third win of the season in 5f Nottingham handicap 11 days ago; can go well again.
3 10th (3) (12/1 +40%) Latin Five	12 12/1(+40%)	(3) Latin Five 12/1, Latest win at Newcastle in March. 9/1, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, good) 22 days ago. Represents yard among the winners. In good nick, fifth at Nottingham 22 days ago; ought to be in shake-up off an easing mark.
10 11th (10) (8/1 +43%) Elzaal	8 8/1(+43%)	(10) Elzaal 8/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. 6/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) 21 days ago, not seen to best effect. Needs to get the breaks given how he's usually ridden. It's now 15 outings since his last victory but he arrives in decent form; possibilities.
11 12th (11) (100/1 -203%) Polam Lane	100 100/1(-203%)	(11) Polam Lane 100/1, Seventh of 10 in handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, good, 16/1) 14 days ago. Yet to fire this season. Yet to offer much in three runs this season after a 19-month absence; lots more is needed.
1 13th (1) (100/1 -525%) Whiskey Priest	100 100/1(-525%)	(1) Whiskey Priest 100/1, 15/2, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft), doing better under change of tactics. Off 9 months so he may just need this. Landed 5f Musselburgh handicap in September; enter calculations despite his absence.

15:30 Thirsk Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Jack Of Clubs bounced back to occupy the runner-up spot in this grade at Musselburgh earlier in the month and he holds an obvious chance off an unchanged rating. However, preference is for GOLDEN RAINBOW, who struck over this track and trip on his penultimate start before finishing third at Musselburgh, and he looks well placed to make it two wins out of his last three starts. Rainbow Rain and Latin Five are two others to consider.

Quite a few to consider here with JACK OF CLUBS given the nod on the back of an excellent second at Musselburgh with a double-figure draw in his favour. Rainbow Rain has been knocking on the door and seems sure to give it a good go, with Cuban Rock also of interest from his lowly mark.

Preference is for Tracy Waggott's course scorer RAINBOW RAIN who signalled he is ready to strike when a good Carlisle third last time

Form	Odds	Runs
4 1st (4) (11/8 +50%) Howzak	1.375 11/8(+50%)	(4) Howzak 11/8, Knocking on the door here in recent weeks, bumping into one well ahead of its mark over this trip last Monday. Another bold show likely. Running consistently since returning from a lengthy absence; should go well again.
6 2nd (6) (9/2 -50%) Port Noir	4.5 9/2(-50%)	(6) Port Noir 9/2, Won this race last year. Also went in at Wolverhampton (7f) in April. Mixed record since, following a creditable fourth over C&D this month with a lesser effort here last Monday. Won this race last year off a 4lb higher mark; has a fair chance of following up.
1 3rd (1) (5/1 +29%) Em Jay Kay	5 5/1(+29%)	(1) Em Jay Kay 5/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2023. Tongue strap on first time (off now), ninth of 12 in handicap (11/1) at Nottingham (6f, good) 11 days ago. Chased home a progressive winner last month; claims if Nottingham has a line put through.
5 4th (5) (17/2 -42%) Rhubarb	8.5 17/2(-42%)	(5) Rhubarb 17/2, Four-time course winner, including this trip. Also runner-up over 5f here in April but her last 2 efforts have been below par. Four wins here; is fine with 6f on fast ground and is back on her last successful mark.
2 5th (2) (15/2 -233%) Vape	7.5 15/2(-233%)	(2) Vape 15/2, C&D winner. Made a good return from 5 months off when second of 10 over C&D (good to firm, 9/1) 16 days ago. Likely to go well again. C&D winner on his second start back from a break last May; could well repeat the dose.
3 6th (3) (25/1 -79%) Rose Fandango	25 25/1(-79%)	(3) Rose Fandango 25/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton (7f) in April. 10/1, below-form fifth of 8 in handicap at this course (1m, heavy) 41 days ago. Down in trip. Wins come over 7f and ran over 1m here last month; patchy since returning from an absence.

15:45 Chepstow Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Vape filled the runner-up spot over C&D 16 days ago and, having won here second time out last season, he should go well again off a competitive mark. Port Noir was a half a length behind him in fourth that day and she also needs taking seriously. However, HOWZAK has done very little wrong in defeat since returning from a long absence and, still unexposed on turf, he can go one better after finishing second over track and trip latest.

HOWZAK has arguably been a touch unfortunate to have bumped into well-handicapped rivals here on his last 2 starts and can deservedly get his head back in front now. Vape made a good return from a break when second here 16 days ago and is feared most ahead of last year's winner Port Noir.

Last year's winner Port Noir should go well again, but VAPE had him behind over C&D 16 days ago and can confirm placings.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (5/2 +38%) Reidh	2.5 5/2(+38%)	(1) Reidh 5/2, After 7 months off (had been gelded), made an encouraging return when third of 10 in handicap at Wetherby (8f, good to soft, 15/2) 13 days ago, keeping on having not been ideally placed. Major player dropped in grade. Respectable third on seasonal debut at Wetherby this month; chance.
12 2nd (12) (28/1 -27%) Queens Road Revue	28 28/1(-27%)	(12) Queens Road Revue 28/1, In first-time cheekpieces, ran well below form when seventh of 9 in handicap at this course (6f, good to firm, 40/1) 17 days ago. Has something to find as she goes up in trip. 0-6; fourth at Beverley and Catterick last month but no show last time.
7 3rd (7) (80/1 -1900%) Without Delay	80 80/1(-1900%)	(7) Without Delay 80/1, Has proved better than ever this year, making it back-to-back wins when scoring in 12-runner handicap at Catterick (7f, good to firm, 13/2) 16 days ago (the runner-up won next time). Not taken lightly. Scored back-to-back wins at Musselburgh and Catterick recently and should go close again.
10 4th (10) (14/1 +13%) Without Flaw	14 14/1(+13%)	(10) Without Flaw 14/1, Back down in trip, not discredited when sixth of 10 in handicap (16/1) at this course (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Needs to find more. Has finished in the frame three times for current yard; best form on soft over 6f.
9 5th (9) (50/1 -809%) La La Lucrative	50 50/1(-809%)	(9) La La Lucrative 50/1, Took a step forward when second at Catterick in May and again filled the runner-up spot in 8-runner handicap at Ripon (6f, soft, 15/8) 25 days ago, albeit no match for an improver. Could still have more to offer upped in trip. Second at Catterick and Ripon over 6f on soft last month; steps up to 7f.
2 6th (2) (33/1 -340%) Saisons D'or	33 33/1(-340%)	(2) Saisons D'or 33/1, Returned to winning ways at Catterick in May. Not in the same form when fourth of 11 in handicap at Ripon (8f, good to firm, 9/1) 19 days ago, but had been running well previously this year so could bounce back. Won on return to turf at Catterick last month; fourth off 3lb higher mark at Ripon latest.
3 7th (3) (100/1 -1567%) Danzart	100 100/1(-1567%)	(3) Danzart 100/1, Course winner who arrives in decent heart, making the frame for the third start in a row when fourth of 9 in handicap (9/2) at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Can make his presence felt back up in trip. Running well at present; runner-up at Wetherby and Wolverhampton but only fourth recently.
11 8th (11) (100/1 -1011%) Miss Willows	100 100/1(-1011%)	(11) Miss Willows 100/1, Failed to build on promise of reappearance run when 7 lengths last of 12 to Without Delay in handicap at Catterick (7f, good to firm, 7/2) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces now reached for. Beaten a head on her reappearance at Catterick; last of 12 last time.
4 9th (4) (100/1 -614%) Mutanaaseq	100 100/1(-614%)	(4) Mutanaaseq 100/1, Course winner. Had excuses on his penultimate outing, but below form when 5¾ lengths eleventh of 12 to Without Delay in handicap (17/2) at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Now 3 lb below his last winning mark. Not at his best at present and one to keep an eye on when he returns to Catterick.
8 10th (8) (100/1 -900%) Rusheen Boy	100 100/1(-900%)	(8) Rusheen Boy 100/1, Ended last year with 2 wins at Southwell in December. After 3 months off, possibly needed the run when fifth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 12/1) 47 days ago. Not discounted having his first try at 7f. Won twice at Southwell in January over 6f; may have more to offer on turf over 7f.
5 11th (5) (33/1 -136%) Agnes Grey	33 33/1(-136%)	(5) Agnes Grey 33/1, Has been struggling for form this year, eighth of 9 in handicap (6/1) at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) 3 weeks ago. Falling in the weights but others preferred at present. Still a maiden and below par in three races this year.
6 12th (6) (80/1 -567%) First Dynasty	80 80/1(-567%)	(6) First Dynasty 80/1, Produced his best effort of the season when fifth of 10 in handicap at Carlisle (6.9f, good to soft, 10/1) 24 days ago. Lurks on a dangerous mark having been eased a further 2 lb. Sole win came at Chelmsford in January 2023; no improvement on switch to turf this year.

16:00 Thirsk Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

REIDH produced a respectable effort when he finished third on his return from a break after being gelded, and he was kindly dropped 1lb for that display. Richard Fahey's four-year-old remains fairly unexposed for his age and he looks the one to beat, with his main threat possibly being the hat-trick seeking Without Delay. The daughter of Decorated Knight goes off a 2lb higher mark than her most recent victory at Catterick and she is likely to be on the premises again. Danzart can pick up any pieces.

REIDH shaped well on his reappearance when third at Wetherby 13 days ago, faring best of those who stuck to the far side, so he could be ready to take advantage of his reduced mark. Without Delay has been thriving of late and is feared most as she bids for the hat-trick, ahead of Danzart.

A strong pace would suit Danzart, but preference is for WITHOUT DELAY (nap) who can complete a three-timer.

3 1st (3) (10/3 +33%) Gunnerside	3.333333 10/3(+33%)	(3) Gunnerside 10/3, 20/1, stepped up on recent run when seventh of 12 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Down in trip. Has a career-low mark to work with. Did better from a wide stall latest (7f) but the emphasis will be more on speed today.
4 2nd (4) (12/1 -20%) Street Life	12 12/1(-20%)	(4) Street Life 12/1, Latest win at Newcastle in February. Run best excused when last of 10 in handicap at Ripon (5f, good to firm, 22/1) 19 days ago, stumbling over 2f out. Visor back on. Not discounted. Knows how to win and has always been best over 5f; this track may not be ideal.
5 3rd (5) (40/1 -150%) Captain Bentley	40 40/1(-150%)	(5) Captain Bentley 40/1, 40/1, fared no better when fifth of 9 in handicap at Bath (5f, good) 9 days ago. Looks an easy swerve. All bar one effort have been poor; has hung right a few times and is hard to recommend.
1 4th (1) (6/5 +0%) Protest Rally	1.2 6/5(+0%)	(1) Protest Rally 6/5, Latest win at Musselburgh in June. 6/1, creditable second of 10 in handicap at Ripon (5f, good) 5 days ago. Remains on a workable mark based on old form and looks sure to go close again. Clicked over 5f; possible he won't want the ground too fast but been found the right race.
7 5th (7) (28/1 -40%) Essencial	28 28/1(-40%)	(7) Essencial 28/1, One win from 21 Flat runs. Blinkered for 1st time, lit up when eighth of 13 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good, 40/1) just under 8 weeks ago. Down in trip. Tongue strap back on. Regressive gelding who's struggled since returning from eight months off.
2 6th (2) (18/1 -29%) Savalas	18 18/1(-29%)	(2) Savalas 18/1, Course winner. Fared no better than on return when eleventh of 14 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to firm, 66/1) 12 days ago. Has a bit to prove now. Run poorly in two starts back from nine months off; a while since he ran over 5f.
6 7th (6) (5/1 -100%) Louis Treize	5 5/1(-100%)	(6) Louis Treize 5/1, Tricky customer. C&D winner. Wasn't seen to best effect when sixth of 14 in handicap (11/1) at this course (6.1f, good) 7 days ago, keeping on after not clear run 2f out. In the mix. Dual winner here last summer; is long odds-on to fluff the start but remains capable.

16:15 Chepstow Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

A comfortable winner at Musselburgh on his penultimate start, PROTEST RALLY went down fighting with a game second-placed finish at Ripon last week and can atone for that near miss off the same mark. Street Life, whose latest effort is safe to ignore given he never recovered from a mid-race stumble, rates a serious threat to the selection based on peak form. Dual course winner Louis Treize can also figure.

PROTEST RALLY arrives in fine form, so this looks a good opportunity for Liam Bailey's 4-y-o to add another win to his tally at the expense of Louis Treize, who is a bit of a tricky customer but can have his effort at this track last week easily ignored. Gunnerside arrives on a career-low mark and rounds off the shortlist.

Fast ground is a niggle but PROTEST RALLY has been found the ideal opening. Serial slow starter Louis Treize is second choice.

Placed at Catterick 4 starts prior to respectable 2 lengths fifth of 9 to Resilience there last time. Cheekpieces go on and should be on the premises again.

Didn't look the most straightforward there, so cheekpieces go on 1st time. Consistent in her five races; third at Brighton three weeks ago..
4 5th (4) (80/1 -789%) One More Dream	80 80/1(-789%)	(4) One More Dream 80/1, 3 wins from 11 runs this year. Latest win at Southwell in March. Respectable sixth of 11 in handicap (11/2) at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

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

Despite being slowly away, BESTIE managed to fly home late to grab third over 6f at Carlisle last week, so he may appreciate this step back up in distance. The son of Advertise goes off an unchanged mark and he could prove the one to beat. Liberty Breeze was far from disgraced when she finished fourth at Catterick on her return to the fray and she should remain competitive off the same rating, while Profiteer is another to note after his third at Carlisle last month.

LIBERTY BREEZE ran well on her return from 6 months off at Catterick earlier in the month and tops the shortlist from an unchanged mark. Langholm is a consistent sort who should give his running once more, whilst Beechwood Star is well drawn in stall 12 and produced a pleasing effort at Wetherby last time, so they are taken to complete the placings.

The bottom weight Profiteer looks dangerous and has scope, but preference is for PREFER THE SISTER who has been going close.

1 3rd (1) (13/2 -136%) Thunderous Love	6.5 13/2(-136%)	(1) Thunderous Love 13/2, Heavy-ground winner at Salisbury in May. 5/1, bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at the same coure (6f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Leading form claims but it could be that she needs testing conditions to be at her best. Said to have hung left on to faster ground last time; conditions would be a worry then.
2 4th (2) (10/1 -100%) Zelma	10 10/1(-100%)	(2) Zelma 10/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 40/1, sixth of 8 in minor event at Chelmsford City (10f) 53 days ago. Back down in trip for this handicap debut and needs to raise her game. Hasn't offered much in three runs to date and the market will be the best guide.
6 5th (6) (28/1 -40%) Cosmos Artist	28 28/1(-40%)	(6) Cosmos Artist 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 250/1 and hooded for 1st time, last of 12 in maiden at Newbury (10f, good) 38 days ago. Back down in trip and big step forward needed on this handicap debut. Huge prices and well beaten in her three completed starts; looks of little account.

16:50 Chepstow Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

NELSON ROSE returned to form with a solid fourth at Chelmsford earlier in the month. A 2lb drop in the ratings could prove to be lenient for Adam West's filly, with this switch to turf expected to suit. Rinnovati also has some scope to improve and rates a player off a potentially competitive mark, while surprise Salisbury winner Thunderous Love enters calculations given she wasn't disgraced in a deeper race at the same venue last time.

The vote goes to NELSON ROSE, who stepped up on her low-key reappearance run when fourth at Chelmsford recently and she looks capable of delivering the goods off this reduced mark. Rinnovati and Thunderous Love hold strong form claims but the forecast fast ground is a concern for both. Salaamaat is likely to be on the premises.

Front-runner NELSON ROSE is fancied to build on her good effort at Chelmsford. Support for Zelma would be notable.

5 2nd (5) (11/4 -10%) Boldly	2.75 11/4(-10%)	(5) Boldly 11/4, Lightly-raced maiden who ended last campaign with respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (12f) in November.

Claims off same mark here. Record of 1-17 leaves him with a bit to prove and he may find this level a bit warm.

17:00 Thirsk Handicap (Class 4) 14f Race Class Flow

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

It will be interesting to see what the market makes of Boldly on his return from a 236-day absence, as he's unexposed for a top yard and now sports a first-time tongue-tie. You can also make cases for Kitsune Power and Noble Anthem, but GASTRONOMY edges the vote on the basis that he has improved markedly this year with his only poor run coming at York last month.

KITSUNE POWER has been cut plenty of slack by the handicapper and ran well here last week. He gets the nod. Boldly is still low mileage and is feared most.

This could prove tactical which may be in favour of LA PULGA, whose last two wins have come under positive rides.

17:10 Ballinrobe Claimer 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Of those with ratings, HELIOGABALUS is clearly best in at the weights and can take advantage of a drop in class. Jessica Harrington's charge was placed on the all-weather on his final start at two and has run respectably in maidens won by useful sorts this term. A wide draw won't be too much of a drawback in this small field. Highly tried in his early juvenile starts, Saxon Kingdom showed more on his first start in handicap company at Leopardstown and should be competitive in a race of this nature, although the longer trip is not sure to suit. Romantic Samurai showed ability in two starts for Richard Hannon and could make an impact on his Irish debut.

HELIOGABALUS hasn't threatened in a couple of maidens this season but he showed plenty when third at Dundalk during the autumn and should prove hard to beat eased in grade here. Romantic Samurai has been absent for the best part of a year but he is nevertheless the most appealing candidate for forecast purposes. Tartaraghan is third choice.

With an official rating of 74 HELIOGABALUS has been put into this with a weight that gives him a good chance of a breakthrough win.

17:30 Thirsk Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

A competitive sprint to close the card and the eye is immediately drawn to EMERALDS PRIDE. She was in the form of her life towards the back end of last season, racking up three wins on the spin in August and September, and she picked up from where she left off at Beverley on her seasonal bow last month. She can be marked up for that effort too, given she dwelt leaving the stalls and was towards the rear - which leaves horses with a mountain to climb over that 5f trip on the Westwood. Albegone is another in-form sprinter to note coming in here on the back of two encouraging efforts at Catterick, while Herakles isn't without a squeak.

EMERALDS PRIDE extended her winning run at Beverley last month and remains fairly treated. She can go in again. Le Beau Garcon and Law of Average head the list of dangers.

Michael Dods' mare EMERALDS PRIDE continues to thrive and she can rack up a five-timer after her stylish Beverley reappearance victory

17:35 Windsor Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

It was fast ground when BAMA LAMA won at Chepstow on her penultimate start. She could only manage third on a slower surface at the same track a week ago, but the going has turned back in her favour and Rod Millman's mare gets another chance. Neptune Legend wasn't at his best when upped in distance last time, having won nicely over the extended 5f at Bath earlier in the month and he is not out of this, while stablemate Milliethemollie drops back in class and is another in with a chance.

BAMA LAMA arrives in form, which is more than can be said for the majority of these, and looks the most solid option. Milliethemollie has largely performed with credit since joining Tony Carroll and is second choice ahead of White Mist, who failed to fire on turf last time but had been in fine form on AW prior to that.

Most of these have something to prove right now, but that's not the case with BAMA LAMA and Rod Millman's mare runs this track well.

17:45 Ballinrobe Maiden 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

On his debut at Killarney, BABICH was touched off by a horse now rated 85, with a subsequent maiden winner back in third. Outclassed in a valuable contest at Gowran, Gavin Cromwell's gelding will appreciate coming back to maiden company and should be hard to beat if running close to the form of his first start. Joe Murphy does well here and fits cheekpieces on Victoria Kesia for the first time. The daughter of Territories has finished in front of subsequent maiden winners when placed on her last two starts and can race handily from a good draw. After missing the kick, Onlyinyourdreams came home well when fourth at Tipperary and may be suited by this longer trip.

It's easy to excuse BABICH's defeat in a warm race from a poor draw at Gowran a fortnight ago and given the promise of his debut, he's well worth another chance. Onlyinyourdreams and Prairie Angel are once-raced very likely improvers and are feared most, while support for a newcomer should also be noted.

Following a promising debut at Killarney, BABICH was given an ambitious run in a valuable Gowran event. She will be hard to beat here

Won back-to-back at Leicester and Salisbury recently over 7f; this may be too sharp.

17:55 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

KINGWOOD QUEEN made an encouraging handicap debut when third at Salisbury, where she ran green in the closing stages but can go close today with further progress likely. Revenue had the measure of Moe's Legacy when scoring over C&D, but the latter turned the tables when successful at Salisbury last time and can confirm superiority. Tres Chic and Rothay Park are also old foes, with the former preferred of that pair over this shorter trip.

The thriving TRES CHIC has done her recent winning over 7f but she wasn't beaten for lack of speed when fourth over C&D last month and can go in again. Last-time-out Salisbury winner Moe's Legacy can give Stan Moore's filly most to do if the visor works as well a second time.

This looks to be a good opportunity for Rothay Park to open his account, but preference is for last month's C&D winner REVENUE.

18:05 Windsor Maiden (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

The betting may offer some clues as to the chances of these newcomers, but STANDPUT is a speedily-bred filly and gets a speculative vote. She's a half-sister to six winners, including the smart sprinters Spy Ring and Snap Shots, and is preferred to stable companion Cosmic Force. Priapos cost 120,000gns as the first foal of a winning sprinter, while Newlyn School is worth a second glance with his yard in good form.

A race for newcomers, and none can be ruled out, but as things stand, PRIAPOS, Newlyn School and Cuban Girl make most appael in that order before market clues.

The market will make for essential reference. As things stand COSMIC FORCE earns narrow preference over Cuban Girl.

18:15 Ballinrobe Handicap 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

TIFFANY MAE gained a handicap mark running over shorter trips and has shown promise on her latest two starts. The Jessica Harrington-trained filly put up a creditable effort at Cork before again keeping on nicely at the finish over a mile at Gowran earlier this month to suggest this distance should suit. Solar Drive took advantage of a lowly initial rating when scoring over 1m4f at Cork and has filled the runner-up spot on both outings since but may not be as effective over this shorter distance. Dolce Far Niente needs to bounce back from a disappointing outing at Gowran.

SOLAR DRIVE is going the right way and can record his second career success. Tiffany Mae and Chou Chou should also give a good account.

Consistent in her last two starts over shorter when running on, TIFFANY MAE can make the breakthrough today raised in trip.

3 1st (3) (4/1 -14%) Mythical Composer	4 4/1(-14%)	(3) Mythical Composer 4/1, Twice-raced colt. 33/1, stepped up on debut run when fourth of 8 in novice event at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Showed up well for a long way at Goodwood (6f) on 2nd start; fifth has won since.
6 2nd (6) (11/4 -22%) Nala Star	2.75 11/4(-22%)	(6) Nala Star 11/4, Bred to be sharp and showed plenty when second of 10 in maiden at Lingfield (5f, good) on debut 14 days ago. Should improve. Bred to sprint and made the running to past halfway on Lingfield debut; obvious contender.

8 5th (8) (2/1 -14%) Thecoffeepoddotco	2 2/1(-14%)	(8) Thecoffeepoddotco 2/1, Helped set a strong gallop when third of 10 in novice event at Chester (6.1f, good to soft, 4/1) 9 days ago. Repeat of that will see her bang there. Similar level of form in all three starts at 6f and 7f; may be vulnerable again.
5 6th (5) (15/2 -50%) Blue Point Express	7.5 15/2(-50%)	(5) Blue Point Express 15/2, Better than result when fifth of 10 in novice event at Ripon (5f, good to firm) on debut 19 days ago, shuffled back. Expected to step up on that. Signs of ability on Ripon debut over 5f; needs to come on but may well do so..
2 7th (2) (11/1 -10%) Just Like Magic	11 11/1(-10%)	(2) Just Like Magic 11/1, Foaled March 8. Aclaim colt. Dam unraced. One to note on debut given yard he represents. Out of half-sister to useful sprinter; yard has strong strike-rate with 2yos on turf.

18:25 Bath Maiden (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

MYTHICAL COMPOSER is going the right way judged on an improved effort at Goodwood. Clive Cox's colt ran out of steam in the final furlong on that occasion, but this looks less competitive and a bold bid is expected. Chester third Thecoffeepoddotco is steadily improving and should go well again, while Nala Star showed ability when second over the minimum trip on the turf at Lingfield and could have a say in proceedings.

THECOFFEEPODDOTCO improved again when third at Chester, hanging in there well having contributed to a sound pace, and she's just about the one to beat. Nala Star showed plenty of zip starting out at Lingfield and is a big threat, with Blue Point Express another likely improver.

Marginal preference is for MYTHICAL COMPOSER who came on a ton for a low-key debut when showing up well at Goodwood recently.

12 1st (12) (13/2 -136%) Westridge	6.5 13/2(-136%)	(12) Westridge 13/2, Promising type. Left debut behind when third of 12 in novice at Kempton (7f) 19 days ago. Open to further progress. From the family of this year's Oaks winner and stayed on nicely over 7f on AW latest.
11 2nd (11) (4/9 +75%) Roi De France	0.444444 4/9(+75%)	(11) Roi De France 4/9, Promising type. Second of 8 in novice at Lingfield (1m, AW) on debut in November. That form has been boosted and he's a major player here with improvement likely. Encouraging AW debut in November; could just need this after so long out.
14 3rd (14) (11/2 +0%) Echo Lima	5.5 11/2(+0%)	(14) Echo Lima 11/2, Twice-raced maiden. Third of 11 in novice (16/1) at Chepstow (7f, good) 24 days ago. May do better again. Ran a nice race at Chepstow when beaten 4.5l by a talented and progressive Balding inmate.
4 4th (4) (16/1 -540%) Destructive	16 16/1(-540%)	(4) Destructive 16/1, Went close on 1m Chelmsford debut in November and also showed promise in defeat on dirt in Meydan at the start of 2024. Bold show likely on turf debut. Sets the standard on one run but been off since March and having first turf run.
6 5th (6) (12/1 -140%) Drumstick	12 12/1(-140%)	(6) Drumstick 12/1, Twice-raced maiden. Left his debut behind when fourth of 11 in novice Salisbury (7f, good to firm, 6/1) 13 days ago. Likely capable of better again. Scopey 3yo who stuck to his task when not beaten too far at Salisbury (7f) 13 days ago.
7 6th (7) (80/1 -300%) Escape Act	80 80/1(-300%)	(7) Escape Act 80/1, Twice-raced maiden. 50/1, seventh of 10 in C&D novice (good to firm) 14 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps after this. Some ability but handicaps will no doubt bring the best out of him.
3 7th (3) (300/1 -200%) Cut To The Chase	300 300/1(-200%)	(3) Cut To The Chase 300/1, Last in 2 outings last year. Surely more one for low-grade handicaps after this. Trailed in last on first two stars, over 6f at Newbury and 7f at Wolverhampton; now gelded.
10 8th (10) (450/1 -800%) Ricardo Phillips	450 450/1(-800%)	(10) Ricardo Phillips 450/1, Twice-raced maiden. Last of 13 in novice at Kempton (7f, 80/1) 89 days ago. Down the field in two 7f races on the Kempton AW and looks one for handicaps at some point.
1 9th (1) (350/1 -250%) Hk Fourteen	350 350/1(-250%)	(1) Hk Fourteen 350/1, This son of Starspangledbanner went through the ring for €220,000 as a yearling but he failed to make it to the track for his initial buyers and can only be watched on this belated debut. Fetched 220,000euros as a yearling but never raced for Brian Meehan and sold on cheaply.
8 10th (8) (300/1 -200%) Homme De Fer	300 300/1(-200%)	(8) Homme De Fer 300/1, 100/1, last of 13 in maiden at Newbury (7f, good) on debut last August. Off 10 months. Tailed off in 7f Newbury maiden last August that was won by the Derby sixth Dancing Gemini.

2 12th (2) (450/1 -350%) Mrs Maisel	450 450/1(-350%)	(2) Mrs Maisel 450/1, Twice-raced maiden. Eighth of 10 in novice at Lingfield (7.6f, good, 200/1) 14 days ago. Half-sister to 6 winners but beaten 15l in her first two races and makes no appeal for now.
13 13th (13) (200/1 -100%) Drusilla	200 200/1(-100%)	(13) Drusilla 200/1, 66/1, last of 13 in maiden at Haydock (1¼m, good, 66/1) on debut 18 days ago. Down in trip. Finished last over 1m2f at Haydock (good) when a 66-1 chance; can only be watched for now.
9 14th (9) (450/1 -350%) On Locust Point	450 450/1(-350%)	(9) On Locust Point 450/1, Twice-raced maiden. 200/1, eighth of 16 in novice at Wetherby (7f, good to soft) 13 days ago. A first-time tongue tie needs to spark major improvement. Like others in here it's been a quiet start and handicaps will present brighter openings.

18:35 Windsor Stakes (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Roi De France returns to action having finished a promising second on last year's debut, but stablemate WESTRIDGE took a step forward when third over 7f at Kempton last time and this extra furlong will suit. Drumstick can also figure stepping up in distance on the back of a fourth at Salisbury, while Echo Lima returns to a mile having failed to threaten when placed over 7f at Chepstow and makes most appeal of the rest.

ROI DE FRANCE was second in a decent race on his Lingfield debut last backend and is preferred to Destructive, who achieved enough when fourth in a Meydan listed race earlier in the year to think he can win a maiden/novice. The selection's stablemate Westridge was a promising third at Kempton recently and may prove best of the remainder.

This may go to WESTRIDGE who was doing his best work late over Kempton's 7f and he's very much bred to appreciate this longer trip.

Up in trip on debut for new yard and he's now 2 lb lower than for his near miss at Listowel in September. Went up 15lb after emphatic 7f win at Gowran last summer, can compete well off this mark.
3 2nd (3) (9/4 -80%) See Me Through	2.25 9/4(-80%)	(3) See Me Through 9/4, Winner at Killarney in May. 6/1, creditable second of 16 in handicap at Gowran (9.4f, good to soft) 21 days ago, clear of rest. Solid each-way chance. Second behind fine yardstick Glor Tire at Gowran; up 5lb but may remain competitive.
8 3rd (8) (12/1 -71%) River Derwent	12 12/1(-71%)	(8) River Derwent 12/1, Three wins from 7 runs this year. Improved on recent efforts to win 15-runner handicap at Roscommon (7.4f, good, 16/1) 35 days ago, cosily. Significantly back up in trip and more needed up 8 lb.

10 5th (10) (33/1 -106%) Roderick	33 33/1(-106%)	(10) Roderick 33/1, 8/1, below form sixth of 11 in claimer at Limerick (11.5f, good to firm) 12 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Denis Hogan and he's opposable. Four-time winner has been kept busy, decent form in March/April, not at his best lately.
1 6th (1) (15/2 -15%) Laelaps	7.5 15/2(-15%)	(1) Laelaps 15/2, Unreliable sort. Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. Creditable second of 8 in handicap (9/1) at Sligo (10.6f, good) 40 days ago, left with lot to do. Will have a chance if able to build on that. Finished well for second over extended 1m2f at Sligo, strike-rate of 2-31 is off-putting..
7 7th (7) (16/1 -78%) True Statesman	16 16/1(-78%)	(7) True Statesman 16/1, Temperamental sort. Respectable sixth of 12 in handicap (9/1) at Leopardstown (8f, good to firm) 4 days ago. Back up in trip and others are more persuasive. Best of four runs this term when fourth over 1m1f at Leopardstown on his penultimate start.
4 8th (4) (20/1 -11%) Pillar Of Hope	20 20/1(-11%)	(4) Pillar Of Hope 20/1, Bit below form fourth of 8 in handicap (20/1) at Leopardstown (7.2f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and, having slipped to an attractive mark, he's dangerous to discount. Out of form on AW, better on recent return to turf at Leopardstown but others preferred.
9 9th (9) (9/1 -38%) Jawhary	9 9/1(-38%)	(9) Jawhary 9/1, 11/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Down Royal (10.3f, good) 2 days ago. Yard having good spell but he's likely to find one or two too good all the same. Second at Navan last month, twice below-par lately including at Down Royal on Saturday.
5 10th (5) (66/1 -100%) La Tulipe Noire	66 66/1(-100%)	(5) La Tulipe Noire 66/1, 40/1, last of 12 in handicap at Cork (8f, good) 45 days ago. Back up in trip and likely to struggle once more. Solid handicap runs last July at this venue and at the Galway festival, out of form since.

18:45 Ballinrobe Handicap 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SEE ME THROUGH has progressed well this season and made all for a decisive win at Killarney last month before coming up against the fast-improving Glor Tire at Gowran. Ross O'Sullivan's charge has gone up a combined 12lb for those latest two runs but could still be on an upward curve and the booking of Colin Keane gives further encouragement. River Derwent won three times at Dundalk last winter and again scored over 7f at Roscommon last month, while Laelaps showed improved form last time when beating all bar Carlo Bianconi at Sligo. True Statesman is another to consider on his fourth to Timourid at Leopardstown earlier this month.

BRAVE TROOP left the strong impression that this step back up in trip would serve him well when finishing mid-field at Roscommon where he got going too late. The 5-y-o gets the nod ahead of See Me Through, who has been in good heart of late and is feared with Colin Keane in the hot-seat. Pillar of Hope has slipped to a potentially handy mark and is worth considering, while Laelaps is also accorded respect.

Runner-to the much-improved Glor Tire at Gowran SEE ME THROUGH has sound prospects of adding to his previous Killarney win

Form	Odds	Runs
9 (9) (4/1 +20%) Ten O'clock	4 4/1(+20%)	(9) Ten O'clock 4/1, Making second start for current yard, bounced back to her best when second of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, good to firm, 18/1) 25 days ago. Could make another bold bid. Engaged 3.10 Ffos Las Sunday. Every chance on best 5f form on AW and turf; had a possible excuse at Ffos Las yesterday.
4 1st (4) (6/1 +33%) Josies Kid	6 6/1(+33%)	(4) Josies Kid 6/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. Shaped bit better than result when seventh of 11 in handicap (33/1) at Nottingham (5f, good) 11 days ago, hampered soon after start. Others still more persuasive. Comes into it on best turf form and several AW handicap runs over the winter; thereabouts.
5 2nd (5) (10/1 +17%) Katar	10 10/1(+17%)	(5) Katar 10/1, Remains a maiden after 31 Flat runs. Form has gone the wrong way this year, faring no better dropped in grade when eighth of 10 in minor event (16/1) at this course (5.7f, good) 17 days ago. Longstanding maiden; three good runs here last summer but mostly out of sorts in 2024.
2 3rd (2) (15/8 -36%) Bluebells Boy	1.875 15/8(-36%)	(2) Bluebells Boy 15/8, Dropped in trip, again ran well when second of 9 in minor event (4/1) at Brighton (5.3f, good to firm) 3 weeks ago. Remains lightly raced on turf and he could be ready to get back to winning ways. Having first run over a bare 5f but gave it a good shot in Brighton classified latest.
8 4th (8) (10/1 +17%) Battleofbaltimore	10 10/1(+17%)	(8) Battleofbaltimore 10/1, Has finished well held all 3 starts this year, eighth of 9 in handicap (11/1) at Yarmouth (6f, soft) 11 days ago. Blinkers left off as he drops back in trip. Two good runs in 1m AW handicaps; poor form at 7f and 6f this year; new trip today.
7 5th (7) (10/1 -43%) Zing Up	10 10/1(-43%)	(7) Zing Up 10/1, Went backwards from her recent run when last of 10 in minor event (11/1) at this course (5.7f, good) 17 days ago. However, she's capable of getting involved if on a going day. AW winner at 5f; well held in similar race latest; worn aids since last June but not today.
6 6th (6) (66/1 -633%) Viewfromthestars	66 66/1(-633%)	(6) Viewfromthestars 66/1, Finally off the mark at Chelmsford City in April. However, not in the same form both starts since, last of 7 in handicap (22/1) at Leicester (5f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Needs to get back on track with hood reapplied. Won on AW in April (visored; hood back on); well held since; this faster ground may help.
1 7th (1) (16/1 -167%) Battle Point	16 16/1(-167%)	(1) Battle Point 16/1, Not beaten too far on his final 2 starts in 2023, 2¾ lengths sixth of 10 in handicap (20/1) at Chelmsford City (5f) when last seen in November. Ran well on last year's return, so he's one to note dropped back in grade. Seen more often on AW, sole win in 5f handicap last spring; lacks recent run.
3 8th (3) (66/1 -164%) Close Of Play	66 66/1(-164%)	(3) Close Of Play 66/1, Has offered little both outings this year, racing too freely with the hood left off when tenth of 12 in handicap (66/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 20 days ago. Has enough to prove at present. Shown ability in AW novices; not lived up to it in handicaps; reservations.

19:00 Bath Stakes (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

BLUEBELLS BOY missed out by only a neck at Brighton and Darryll Holland's charge is taken to go one better in this similar contest. Several have winning form on the all-weather, including Viewfromthestars, who scored at Chelmsford in April and could be in the mix, while Zing Up and Battle Point were both successful on the Polytrack last year. Josies Kid has tumbled down the handicap and may finish closer in this lower grade.

BLUEBELLS BOY has been running well in the main this year, placing for the fourth time when runner-up at Brighton on his latest outing, so he looks to hold leading claims as he makes only his fourth start on turf. Ten O'Clock went close at Lingfield last month and is respected if taking up this engagement, with Battle Point also considered.

This can go to BLUEBELLS BOY who went down only narrowly at Brighton recently and takes on some mostly out-of-form rivals.

19:10 Windsor Handicap (Class 3) 5f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 (1) (5/1 -67%) Dream Composer	5 5/1(-67%)	(1) Dream Composer 5/1, Back to winning ways when taking 14-runner handicap at Epsom (5f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Raised 5 lb for that success but another bold bid is on the cards. Effectively 10lb higher than when getting up in the nick of time at Epsom 23 days ago.
2 (2) (12/1 -50%) Isle Of Lismore	12 12/1(-50%)	(2) Isle Of Lismore 12/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Ascot in May. Eighth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 8/1) 14 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Slow start did for him here last time; has the form to feature if breaking better.
4 1st (4) (12/1 -167%) Woolhampton	12 12/1(-167%)	(4) Woolhampton 12/1, Latest win at Ascot in May. 5/1, good fourth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 14 days ago. Respected. Useful sprinter at this level and Oliver Searle returns claiming his 5lb; thereabouts.
3 2nd (3) (4/1 +11%) Jumbeau	4 4/1(+11%)	(3) Jumbeau 4/1, Built on encouraging return effort when winning 5-runner handicap over C&D (good to firm, 85/40) 30 days ago. Remains feasibly treated and ought to go well again. Narrow C&D winner a month ago and the runner-up was then second in the 'Dash'.
6 3rd (6) (5/1 +50%) Glamorous Breeze	5 5/1(+50%)	(6) Glamorous Breeze 5/1, C&D winner. 10/1, bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Doncaster (5f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Can make presence felt. Won this last year and his Ascot effort three starts back was on a par with that form.
5 4th (5) (16/1 +20%) Danger Alert	16 16/1(+20%)	(5) Danger Alert 16/1, 28/1, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Booking of Callan a plus. Not discounted. There were signs of him returning to form when fourth after a break at Goodwood.
7 5th (7) (Evens +67%) Equity Law	0 Evens(+67%)	(7) Equity Law Evens, Won 1 of his 4 starts last term and posted best effort yet when taking 9-runner handicap at Sandown (5f, good, 15/2) 59 days ago, driven out. 3 lb rise fair and is a big player. The form of his Sandown win reads well and got off lightly with just a 3lb rise.
8 6th (8) (28/1 -133%) Cluedo	28 28/1(-133%)	(8) Cluedo 28/1, 9/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 56 days ago. Something to find on form from 3 lb out of the weights. Dual winner with an up-and-down profile; was too keen for her own good after a break.

19:10 Windsor Handicap (Class 3) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Dream Composer went in by half a length when landing a class 2 event at Epsom earlier in the month but he goes off an 5lb higher rating for that success and may have to give best to JUMBEAU. Tom Clover's filly was successful over C&D last month and she only has a 4lb higher mark to defy now. With Tom Marquand booked, she could prove tough to beat, while Equity Law is another to keep a close eye on after his triumph at Sandown in April.

EQUITY LAW found improvement when scoring at Sandown in April and appeals as the type to do better yet in sprint handicaps. He can go in again. Jumbeau and Dream Composer also arrive on the back of victories and are feared most.

Andrew Balding's EQUITY LAW (nap) looks to have got off very lightly with just a 3lb rise for his Sandown success.

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (5/1 -50%) Expound	5 5/1(-50%)	(2) Expound 5/1, Fair gelding. Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. 10/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, good to firm) 4 days ago. Back up in trip. Well-exposed sort, placed in ten of his 17 Flat starts, in rear in a handicap last week.
5 2nd (5) (9/4 -105%) Mr Percy	2.25 9/4(-105%)	(5) Mr Percy 9/4, Fair gelding. 10/1, second of 10 in maiden at Lyon La Soie (10.7f). Off 8 months. First run for yard after leaving Vaclav Luka and not easy to weigh up that form but he's joined a powerful yard. Second in a French 1m3f AW contest last October, the bar is set low for his Irish debut.
1 3rd (1) (5/1 +9%) Bridgehead	5 5/1(+9%)	(1) Bridgehead 5/1, Fair gelding. Remains a maiden after 9 Flat runs. Respectable fourth of 15 in novice hurdle (11/2) at this course (16.3f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Player on his best Flat form. Fair form on Flat at two and three, useful hurdles form to his name, should go close.
3 4th (3) (11/2 +8%) Gunsight	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(3) Gunsight 11/2, Fair gelding. Remains a maiden after 11 Flat runs. Below form tenth of 16 in handicap (10/1) at Fairyhouse (10f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Blinkers reached for. Twice runner-up at Killarney, below his best in three starts this term, blinkered now.
4 5th (4) (11/2 +0%) Lord Raven	5.5 11/2(+0%)	(4) Lord Raven 11/2, Twice-raced gelding. 20/1, fifth of 14 in maiden at Gowran (9.4f, good to soft) 21 days ago. May have a bigger performance in him. Has shown ability in outings at Killarney and Gowran but needs to raise his game now.
8 6th (8) (18/1 +28%) Velvet And Vine	18 18/1(+28%)	(8) Velvet And Vine 18/1, Fair filly. Remains a maiden after 8 Flat runs. Last of 19 in handicap at Naas (8f, soft, 28/1) 56 days ago. Back up in trip. Early promise for Ger Lyons, regressive since and has shown nothing in two runs this year.
6 7th (6) (200/1 -33%) So Easy Way	200 200/1(-33%)	(6) So Easy Way 200/1, Eighth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Roscommon (15.6f, good, 18/1) 14 days ago. Chase winner, placed over hurldes in April, struggled in two Flat outings last season.
7 8th (7) (22/1 -38%) Beauty's Star	22 22/1(-38%)	(7) Beauty's Star 22/1, Starspangledbanner filly. Dam once-raced half-sister to smart 1¼m winner (stays 15.5f) John Leeper out of British/Irish Oaks winner Snow Fairy. Likeable pedigree but this a belated debut. First foal out of a daughter of the top-class Snow Fairy, perhaps worth a market check.

19:15 Ballinrobe Maiden 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MR PERCY might be able to take this weak affair. Twice-raced in France, the four-year-old bay was bought by current connections for 48,000 euros at Arqana in November. Second when last seen at Lyon La Soie, he finished a place ahead of Treasured Soul, who reached a career-high mark of 78 when in the care of Ger Lyons. A rare runner on the level for James Dullea, Lord Raven is of definite interest. Out of a black-type mare, the Raven's Pass chestnut has two solid efforts to his name and it'll be disappointing if he is not involved towards the business end in a contest of this quality. Beaten by just half a length in this very race 12 months ago, Expound has solid place claims, while Bridgehead and Gunsight (first-time blinkers) are others for the shortlist.

LORD RAVEN has displayed ability on both starts and with the prospect of more to come, he's awarded the vote in what is a trappy heat. Mr Percy is a fascinating contender starting out for Joseph O'Brien, with Expound also of interest.

The often-placed Expound has a leading chance but seems fully exposed and may be thwarted by Joseph O'Brien's import MR PERCY

7 1st (7) (18/1 -125%) Second Collection	18 18/1(-125%)	(7) Second Collection 18/1, C&D winner. Won at Wolverhampton final outing in 2023. Stepped up on reappearance when fourth of 9 in handicap (12/1) at this C&D (good) 9 days ago, never nearer. Can give a good account without posing a serious threat to principals. Back on her most recent winning mark and likely to be thereabouts..
5 2nd (5) (9/4 +25%) My Delilah	2.25 9/4(+25%)	(5) My Delilah 9/4, Course winner. 14/1, shaped well when 1¾ lengths fourth of 8 to So Smart in handicap at this C&D (good) 17 days ago, plugging on after meeting trouble. Remains of interest from this mark. Could play a leading role after an encouraging reappearance behind So Smart this month..
2 3rd (2) (11/2 -38%) So Smart	5.5 11/2(-38%)	(2) So Smart 11/2, Front-runner gained only second career sucess in 8-runner handicap at this C&D (good) 17 days ago. Overall strike rate somewhat tempers enthusiasm but remains well treated on old form. Ended a barren spell over C&D this month; remains well treated off the 3lb rise; player.
4 4th (4) (7/2 +36%) Symbol Of Hope	3.5 7/2(+36%)	(4) Symbol Of Hope 7/2, Three-time C&D winner. Latest win here in May. 5/1, 3¼ lengths sixth of 8 to So Smart in handicap at this C&D (good) 17 days ago. Type to bounce back quickly. Course winner who meets So Smart on the better terms after their recent clash over C&D..
1 5th (1) (8/1 -129%) Inspired Knowhow	8 8/1(-129%)	(1) Inspired Knowhow 8/1, Won at Windsor in May and looked back in form when 1¾ lengths seventh of 10 to On Edge in apprentices event there last time, not knocked about after lacking room inside final 1f. Respected. Would have finished closer granted a clearer passage latest; respected back down in class..
6 6th (6) (33/1 -288%) Secret Handsheikh	33 33/1(-288%)	(6) Secret Handsheikh 33/1, C&D winner. 7/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, good) 11 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Visor back on. Hard to fancy on recent showings. Has yet to fire this year and needs to find some spark in the refitted visor..
3 7th (3) (7/1 -17%) Betweenthesticks	7 7/1(-17%)	(3) Betweenthesticks 7/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. Second at Ripon earlier this month but ran poorly at Windsor last time. Not out of it able to bounce back. Needs to leave a lesser effort behind latest but respected on this month's Ripon second..

19:30 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

SECRET HANDSHEIKH has won one of his two previous starts over C&D and is now 6lb lower than his last winning mark. The trusty visor is back on and replaces the blinkers worn at Nottingham last time out, so he might represent a bit of value in a tricky sprint to call. So Smart will have his supporters following a determined track-and-trip success latest, while six-time course scorer Symbol of Hope is another to bear in mind.

MY DELILAH caught the eye behind So Smart over C&D last time and Adrian Wintle's filly is fancied to turn the tables on this occasion. Inspired Knowhow was better than the result at Windsor last time and can pose the biggest threat, with So Smart himself also respected attempting to follow up.

Inspired Knowhow is respected but MY DELILAH is taken to reverse the placings with this month's C&D winner So Smart.

Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Mark continues to drop and a tongue-tie is tried, but hard to be confident.
1 1st (1) (6/4 +20%) So Obsessed	1.5 6/4(+20%)	(1) So Obsessed 6/4, Made it 3 wins from 9 starts this year when narrowly taking 7-runner handicap at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Just 2 lb higher now and is one for shortlist. Bang in form and only 2lb higher than for her recent Lingfield win under Oisin Murphy.
2 2nd (2) (66/1 -1882%) Sir Bolton	66 66/1(-1882%)	(2) Sir Bolton 66/1, Turned in best effort of year when fourth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 32 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Likely to go well again. Still uncertain as to what his best trip is and a first-time visor replaces blinkers.
8 3rd (8) (10/3 -21%) Marcus	3.333333 10/3(-21%)	(8) Marcus 10/3, Found improvement, in first-time cheekpieces, when good second of 12 in handicap (28/1) at Doncaster (5f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Likely contender. 1 lb out of the weights. A limited maiden but building up some momentum after recent improved efforts.
7 4th (7) (12/1 -33%) Glamorous Joy	12 12/1(-33%)	(7) Glamorous Joy 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 18/1, 4 lengths sixth of 7 to So Obsessed in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 58 days ago. Others look better treated. Five-race maiden who may improve with Wolverhampton reappearance under her belt.

Cheekpieces on 1st time. Others more persuasive. Quiet 2yo campaign and hasn't kicked on this season, last time trailing in last.

19:40 Windsor Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

So Obsessed had Marcus (fourth) behind when she was all out to score by a neck at Lingfield on her latest outing, but a 2lb rise for that victory may find her out. With that in mind, the vote goes to LITTLE WHITE DOVE, who was a big price on her first start for the March Usher stable when a well-held fifth at Brighton, but she was dropped 2lb for that display and now has Robert Havlin booked. The daughter of Sioux Nation could capitalise on a career-low mark, while first-time cheekpieces may eke out more from Tomshalfsister and she completes the shortlist.

SO OBSESSED is building a solid strike rate in sprint handicaps and remains on a fair mark. She is taken to score again. Marcus and Sir Bolton can also make their presence felt.

The filly SO OBSESSED, who likes to chase the pace, should get a nice tow into this and she can follow up her Lingfield win.

Form	Odds	Runs
8 (8) (3/1 +0%) Charlie Luciano	3 3/1(+0%)	(8) Charlie Luciano 3/1, 1 win from 2 runs this year. Winner at Fairyhouse in June. Respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at Down Royal (12.8f, good, 3/1) 2 days ago, left poorly placed. Merits consideration. Useful hurdler was all out to win over 1m4f at Fairyhouse; should go well off 4lb higher.
4 1st (4) (6/1 +50%) Desert Friend	6 6/1(+50%)	(4) Desert Friend 6/1, 12/1, good 4¼ lengths fifth of 22 to Mayo For Sam in handicap at Navan (10.2f, good) 16 days ago, nearest finish. Back up in trip. Is 8lb better off with Mayo For Sam from last time (1m2f) and this longer trip will suit.
10 2nd (10) (5/1 -43%) Mayo For Sam	5 5/1(-43%)	(10) Mayo For Sam 5/1, Creditable fourth of 15 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f, good to firm, 5/1) 4 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Stable in good form. Should continue to give a good account. Won at Navan (1m2f) and decent Leopardstown effort over 1m1f; this trip should suit.
7 3rd (7) (15/2 -67%) Status Green	7.5 15/2(-67%)	(7) Status Green 15/2, Career best when winning 13-runner handicap (9/1) at Tipperary (9f, soft) 26 days ago, staying on well. Significantly up in trip. 8 lb rise demands another career best. Got off the mark at Tipperary over 1m1f on soft ground; up in distance off 6lb higher.
3 4th (3) (15/2 -25%) Curious Bride	7.5 15/2(-25%)	(3) Curious Bride 15/2, One win from 28 Flat runs. 16/1, very good second of 16 in handicap at Limerick (17f, good to firm) 12 days ago, finishing well. Down in trip. Enters calculations. Runner-up over 2m1f at Limerick last time; can be competitive off this mark.
6 5th (6) (28/1 -12%) Hungry Rock	28 28/1(-12%)	(6) Hungry Rock 28/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 7 in maiden (40/1) at Down Royal (10f, good) 24 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Up in trip. Blinkers on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Can be expected to do better on handicap debut with blinkers added; check market.
11 6th (11) (25/1 +24%) Beer With The Boys	25 25/1(+24%)	(11) Beer With The Boys 25/1, C&D winner. Also a good third here last summer. Absent since finishing well held over hurdles at Down Royal in January but his decent course record means he can't be discounted. C&D winner; best run of last season came back here; a squeak if ready after his break.
2 7th (2) (5/1 +23%) Hidden Land	5 5/1(+23%)	(2) Hidden Land 5/1, Improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (18.8f, good, 7/2) 8 days ago. Respected back on the Flat. Easy hurdle winner last time; won at Down Royal last autumn; has a chance if at her best.
12 8th (12) (7/1 +83%) Creative Dancer	7 7/1(+83%)	(12) Creative Dancer 7/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Ninth of 15 in handicap at Gowran (8f, good, 50/1) 8 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Beaten 4.5l at Gowran over an inadequate trip last time; not ignored from a shrewd yard.
9 9th (9) (28/1 +30%) Rushford	28 28/1(+30%)	(9) Rushford 28/1, Thirteenth of 18 in handicap at Fairyhouse (14f, good, 50/1) 10 days ago. Won twice in UK in 2022 up to 1m6f; regressive in the last year and was poor last time.
5 10th (5) (16/1 -60%) Forbidden Planet	16 16/1(-60%)	(5) Forbidden Planet 16/1, Second of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f, 66/1) 80 days ago, no match for winner. Up in trip. Well held all previous turf starts. Not a bad effort on AW last time; 8lb lower but hasn't looked as effective on this surface.
1 11th (1) (9/1 -29%) Roman Bull	9 9/1(-29%)	(1) Roman Bull 9/1, Fifth of 10 in conditions event at Listowel (13.4f, good, 33/1) 22 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time. Tough task and well beaten at Listowel last time; needs his best form with blinkers tried.

19:50 Ballinrobe Handicap 13f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The in-foal HIDDEN LAND trounced the opposition over flights at Downpatrick recently and might follow up. The seven-year-old has already won twice on the level and could have a fruitful summer campaign before her retirement. Mayo For Sam is sure to prove popular with locals and appears to have solid claims after finishing fourth at Leopardstown. Charlie Luciano is another set to be turned out again quickly. Successful at Fairyhouse on his penultimate start, the Noel Meade-trained five-year-old was beaten into fourth at Down Royal on Saturday. A winner at Tipperary last month, Status Green is likely to have plenty of supporters, while others of note are Limerick runner-up Curious Bride and six-time winner Desert Friend.

CURIOUS BRIDE made a promising return from a break when second in a big field at Limerick 12 days ago and might be the way to go assuming this doesn't come too quick on her. Desert Friend, Mayo For Sam and last week's Downpatrick hurdle winner Hidden Land head the dangers.

DESERT FRIEND didn't get the clearest run behind Mayo For Sam last time and can turn around the form on 8lb better terms.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 (1) (12/1 +25%) Dovena	12 12/1(+25%)	(1) Dovena 12/1, Seventh of 11 in handicap at this C&D (good, 16/1) 17 days ago. Looks set for another struggle. Dual turf winner at about 1m4f but still has stamina to prove at this distance..
14 1st (14) (10/1 -82%) Made In China	10 10/1(-82%)	(14) Made In China 10/1, 9/2, creditable third of 6 in handicap at Catterick (12.1f, good to soft) 6 days ago, slowly away. Record stands at 0-11 but he's a strong candidate nevertheless. Not the most straightforward but he's improved for the fitting of blinkers; considered..
10 2nd (10) (9/2 +31%) Kingston Sunflower	4.5 9/2(+31%)	(10) Kingston Sunflower 9/2, 7/2, respectable third of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (16.6f) 54 days ago. Remains a maiden in this sphere but she has shown enough to suggest that she'll be competitive here off this mark. Needs to build on her three recent placed efforts but that's possible..
9 3rd (9) (14/1 -27%) Alghazaal	14 14/1(-27%)	(9) Alghazaal 14/1, One win from 25 Flat runs. Nineteen runs since last win in 2020. Sixth of 10 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm, 17/2) 21 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Took a step back in the right direction latest but others are more persuasive..
7 4th (7) (6/1 -20%) Grey Owl	6 6/1(-20%)	(7) Grey Owl 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 5/1, good fourth of 10 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Up in trip and certainly not without each-way hope. Unexposed 4yo who should be suited by the step up in trip; one to take seriously..
6 5th (6) (20/1 -344%) Blue Hero	20 20/1(-344%)	(6) Blue Hero 20/1, Seven-time course winner. 9/2, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at this course (10.2f, good) 17 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and he's one of the likelier winners. Course winner; not beaten far on three previous attempts at this far; respected..
5 6th (5) (66/1 -313%) Humaniste	66 66/1(-313%)	(5) Humaniste 66/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2018. Third of 9 in handicap at this C&D (good, 20/1). Off 9 months but would be in with an each-way chance if fit enough to do himself justice. Fair effort when last seen on the Flat but he's exposed and others appeal more..
11 7th (11) (66/1 -500%) Uther Pendragon	66 66/1(-500%)	(11) Uther Pendragon 66/1, Course winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. 20/1, respectable third of 8 in handicap at this course (17.1f, good) 9 days ago. Now below last winning mark and he's worth considering. Fairly reliable veteran; warrants consideration for minor honours back down in distance..
4 8th (4) (100/1 -355%) Secret Sauce	100 100/1(-355%)	(4) Secret Sauce 100/1, 28/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (18.5f, soft) 26 days ago. Failed to fire on latest start in this sphere and he's probably worth taking on. Has struggled for form over hurdles for this stable but reverts to the Flat on a good mark.
12 9th (12) (66/1 -164%) Ladypacksapunch	66 66/1(-164%)	(12) Ladypacksapunch 66/1, Remains a maiden after 25 Flat runs. 40/1, last of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 58 days ago, hampered. Best to look elsewhere. Longstanding maiden; offered little on her recent AW comeback..
3 10th (3) (100/1 -100%) Sobegrand	100 100/1(-100%)	(3) Sobegrand 100/1, Blinkered for 1st time, ninth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (good, 125/1) 17 days ago. Hard to warm to. Out of sorts at present and plenty to prove in the refitted cheekpieces..
2 11th (2) (80/1 -142%) Cochin	80 80/1(-142%)	(2) Cochin 80/1, First run since leaving Milton Harris when sixth of 7 in handicap (50/1) at this course (10.2f, good) 9 days ago. Significantly up in trip and needs to raise her game. Needs to improve for this longer trip if she's to figure here..
13 12th (13) (20/1 -700%) Honrado	20 20/1(-700%)	(13) Honrado 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap (7/2) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 39 days ago, needing stiffer test, which he will get here. One to consider. Takes another step up in distance; unexposed and capable of better..

20:00 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 14f Race Class Flow

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

GREY OWL has certainly improved since going handicapping and being fitted with a tongue-tie, as he finished second at Windsor last month before returning to the same venue and going down by two lengths into fourth earlier this month. Up in trip to an extended 1m3f that day, this further rise in distance should suit and he gets the nod ahead of Honrado, who boasts a similar profile. Keep an eye on Blue Hero too.

The handicapper has shown BLUE HERO mercy and the 6-y-o is taken to regain the winning thread. He registered the latest of his seven course wins off a 9 lb higher mark last July and he has been shaping as though worth another try over this trip. The 3-y-os Honrado and Made In China rate the main dangers, with the former feared most with this step up in trip a possible catalyst for some improvement.

The unexposed pair Honrado and GREY OWL make most appeal with improvement likely from both over this longer trip.

20:10 Windsor Handicap (Class 5) 11f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (5/2 -43%) Lucentio	2.5 5/2(-43%)	(3) Lucentio 5/2, Two wins from 4 runs this year. Career best when winning 7-runner handicap (6/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 35 days ago. 4 lb rise fair enough and he has to be respected in his hat-trick bid. Unbeaten in this headgear combination in two runs over C&D last month; progressing.
1 2nd (1) (3/1 +14%) Reaching High	3 3/1(+14%)	(1) Reaching High 3/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Below form third of 6 in handicap at Leicester (11.8f, good to soft, 2/1) 20 days ago, slowly away. Tongue strap on 1st time and perhaps the faster ground here will be in his favour. Good chance. Perhaps didn't appreciate the good to soft ground when stepped up to 1m4f at Leicester.
2 3rd (2) (66/1 -2540%) Hutchence	66 66/1(-2540%)	(2) Hutchence 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Good sixth of 10 in handicap at Chester (10.3f, good, 13/8) 10 days ago, needing stiffer test. Gets that here and improvement could be forthcoming. Wouldn't judge him on Chester last time and this longer trip promises to suit.
6 4th (6) (100/1 -1329%) Paradoxical	100 100/1(-1329%)	(6) Paradoxical 100/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 20/1, fourth of 11 in minor event at this course (8.1f, heavy) 49 days ago, not knocked about. Significantly up in trip for this handicap debut and while a good deal better is needed, he could be about to take a step forward. Nice run here and could be a sharp improver now raised in distance for handicap debut.
4 5th (4) (350/1 -2817%) Normandy Legend	350 350/1(-2817%)	(4) Normandy Legend 350/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 10/1, last of 6 in handicap at Haydock (10.2f, firm) 17 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and needs to improve. His standout run in four is his second in a 1m maiden at Kempton; has struggled since.
5 6th (5) (100/1 -809%) Arch Legend	100 100/1(-809%)	(5) Arch Legend 100/1, C&D winner. 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Latest win at Wolverhampton in May. Last of 5 in handicap (5/1) at Sandown (14f, good) 10 days ago. Possibly in the handicapper's grip for now. Dual h'cap winner; poor the last twice but these Johnston handicappers can bounce back.

20:10 Windsor Handicap (Class 5) 11f Race Class Flow

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

After a brace of C&D wins last month, it is hard to see beyond LUCENTIO, given the positive impact racing in cheekpieces seems to have delivered for the son of Too Darn Hot. Off just 4lb higher than the latest of those victories and with forecast quick ground expected to ideally suit, he can extend the winning sequence. Reaching High is noted with a first-time tongue-tie added, as he is surely better than the bare form of his latest start. Arch Legend has won for Oisin Murphy before and also commands respect with that jockey back on board.

HUTCHENCE shaped well when fifth in a 1m novice on return here last month (form working out well), and while he failed to improve on his handicap debut upped to 10.3f at Chester next time, better is expected over this new trip back here. It may be worth giving another chance to Reaching High following a rather disappointing effort at Leicester and he is second choice ahead of the hat-trick seeking Lucentio and handicap-debutant Paradoxical.

An interesting handicap may go to REACHING HIGH in the hope he can tap back into the promise of his excellent penultimate run.

7 1st (7) (9/2 +0%) Royal Eagle	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(7) Royal Eagle 9/2, 6/1, 10½ lengths fourth of 7 to Minx Tiara in listed mares hurdle at Killarney (17f, good to soft) 43 days ago. Fairly useful on the Flat, creditable second on latest Flat outing last September. 131-rated hurdler, sparingly raced on the Flat, good chance with a valuable 7lb claimed.
3 2nd (3) (28/1 +15%) No Niki No	28 28/1(+15%)	(3) No Niki No 28/1, Tenth of 11 in handicap at Goodwood (12f, good, 28/1) 31 days ago. Others more persuasive. Most recent of seven wins came last June, a satisfactory run at Sligo, in rear at Goodwood.
6 3rd (6) (8/1 -33%) No Hassle	8 8/1(-33%)	(6) No Hassle 8/1, C&D winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. 6/1, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Leopardstown (12.8f, good) 18 days ago, driven out. Respected up 4 lb. Finished behind Ameerat Jumaira at Roscommon, now worse off following Leopardstown win.
1 4th (1) (9/1 -157%) Fairytale Princess	9 9/1(-157%)	(1) Fairytale Princess 9/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at the Curragh in May. 9/2, seventh of 11 in handicap at the Curragh (14f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Trainer going well. Went up 11lb for Curragh 1m6f win, new mark found her out over same course and trip.
4 5th (4) (12/1 -9%) Moonlit Mist	12 12/1(-9%)	(4) Moonlit Mist 12/1, Course winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. First run since leaving Denis Hogan when winning 16-runner handicap at Fairyhouse (10f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Up in trip. Change of scene has done the trick judging by Fairyhouse win on stable debut, up 7lb.
11 6th (11) (8/1 +27%) Emotivo	8 8/1(+27%)	(11) Emotivo 8/1, 20/1, respectable seventh of 16 in handicap at Gowran (9.4f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Must improve. Handicap hurdle winner at Cheltenham in April, Flat credentials are not very convincing.
12 7th (12) (12/1 -20%) Influential Lady	12 12/1(-20%)	(12) Influential Lady 12/1, Six-time jumps winner who gained her first success on the Flat in 11-runner handicap (17/2) at Gowran (14f, good) 7 days ago. Should remain competitive up 3 lb. Six-time winner over jumps, opened Flat account over 1m6f at Gowran last week, respected.
8 8th (8) (12/1 -20%) Pachmena	12 12/1(-20%)	(8) Pachmena 12/1, Two wins from 45 Flat runs. 16/1, respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Sligo (10.6f, good to soft) 50 days ago. Back up in trip. Not at her best at Dundalk during the winter, needs to find improvement from Sligo run.
2 9th (2) (9/1 -38%) Sugaree	9 9/1(-38%)	(2) Sugaree 9/1, Lightly-raced winner. Off 10 months, good 1½ lengths fourth of 10 to No Hassle in handicap at Leopardstown (12.8f, good) 18 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Can make presence felt. 1m4f maiden winner, ran poorly on only handicap start last season, more like it on return.
10 10th (10) (22/1 -57%) Encosta	22 22/1(-57%)	(10) Encosta 22/1, Latest win at Leopardstown in May. 13/2, bit below form 9½ lengths seventh of 16 to Moonlit Mist in handicap at Fairyhouse (10f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Up in trip. Deservingly promoted at Leopardstown, only seventh behind Moonlight Mist at Fairyhouse.
5 11th (5) (9/2 +0%) Ameerat Jumaira	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(5) Ameerat Jumaira 9/2, Good second of 10 in handicap (9/1) at Roscommon (12.1f, good) on reappearance 35 days ago. Enters calculations. Reliable filly last year, started the season on an encouraging note with Roscommon second.
9 12th (9) (28/1 -56%) Effernock Fizz	28 28/1(-56%)	(9) Effernock Fizz 28/1, 7/1, fourth of 6 in minor event hurdle at Listowel (16.4f, good) 23 days ago, going in snatches. Fairly useful on the Flat but ran poorly at Dundalk on latest Flat outing in February. Winner of ten of her 100 starts, better known for jumping feats but not lightly dismissed.

20:20 Ballinrobe Handicap 13f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A competitive affair to round off proceedings, with SUGAREE the suggestion. Successful on her third start last summer, she ran a nice race on her return to action and should strip fitter now. A winner at the Curragh on her penultimate outing, top-weight Fairytale Princess gets second preference. The Ger Lyons-trained four-year-old since finished down the field in a good-quality contest at the Co Kildare venue and should appreciate this drop in class. A case can be made for many others, with Ameerat Jumaira likely to appreciate the step up in trip. With 10 wins to her name, Effernock Fizz always warrants respect, while No Hassle, who beat the selection at Leopardstown, and the Gordon Elliott-trained Royal Eagle are others for the shortlist.

If AMEERAT JUMAIRA comes only a little for last month's Roscommon reappearance second she could prove the answer to a competitive finale. Joseph O'Brien's Sugaree is another who arrives on the back of a good comeback run and is second choice ahead of last-time-out scorers No Hassle and Influential Lady.

Keithen Kennedy's useful 7lb claim makes ROYAL EAGLE an interesting contender on her return to the Flat after a spell hurdling

Given a chance by the handicapper. Has only the one turf win to his name but is a four-time AW winner; considered.
1 2nd (1) (12/1 -71%) New Dayrell	12 12/1(-71%)	(1) New Dayrell 12/1, 17/2, last of 11 in handicap at this course (14f, good) 17 days ago. Back down in trip. Work to do. Back on a good mark but has something to prove at present.
7 3rd (7) (100/1 -4900%) Battle Of Omdurman	100 100/1(-4900%)	(7) Battle Of Omdurman 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden who found improvement when close second of 4 in handicap at this course (11.6f, good) 17 days ago. Just 2 lb higher now and holds strong claims. Cheekpieces on first time. Improved since handicapping and went close over slightly further here latest..
3 4th (3) (33/1 -408%) Snooze Lane	33 33/1(-408%)	(3) Snooze Lane 33/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in April. 14/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, good) 19 days ago. Others more appealing. Not had many chances on turf and he's respected on his AW form; should be thereabouts..
8 5th (8) (350/1 -2400%) Endofastorm	350 350/1(-2400%)	(8) Endofastorm 350/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Below form sixth of 14 in handicap at this course (14f, good, 33/1), slowly away. Off 9 months. Down in trip. Others preferred. Looks vulnerable returning from a 282-day break..

Progressive 3yo; respected under a penalty for his Wolverhampton win..
6 7th (6) (12/1 -100%) Tidal Storm	12 12/1(-100%)	(6) Tidal Storm 12/1, Posted best effort of the season, in first-time visor, when third of 7 in handicap over C&D (good) 9 days ago. 1 lb lower now and warrants respect. Has posted a couple of better efforts of late but needs to build on them..

BAROQUE BUOY wasn't winning out of turn at Wolverhampton on Thursday and is open to much more improvement. He needs to prove himself on turf, but is very difficult to get away from given his progressive profile and the quick turnaround suggests he's come out of that race at the Midlands venue in good nick. Course second Battle Of Omdurman sports first-time cheekpieces and should be there to pounce if the selection falters, while Tidal Storm is also noted.

BATTLE OF OMDURMAN has few miles on the clock and only narrowly failed to open his account here earlier this month. He can go one better. Baroque Buoy and Tidal Storm look the likeliest dangers.

Battle Of Omdurman is respected but preference is for last-time-out winner BAROQUE BUOY (nap) who looks open to further progress.

2 1st (2) (11/2 -22%) Wootton's Jewel	5.5 11/2(-22%)	(2) Wootton's Jewel 11/2, Thrice-raced maiden. 20/1, sixth of 11 in maiden at Ascot (7f, good to firm) when last seen in September (gelded since). Needs to up his hame now handicapping over a new trip but this opening mark is a realistic one. Out of a 1m2f Listed winner, so this trip should be just the ticket on handicap debut.
1 2nd (1) (11/8 +8%) Star Runner	1.375 11/8(+8%)	(1) Star Runner 11/8, Thrice-raced maiden. 13/2, second of 16 in minor event at Chelmsford City (8f) 32 days ago. Up in trip for this handicap/turf debut and he's a key player. Likeable qualifying efforts; h'cap debut and he's a half-brother to Running Lion.
3 3rd (3) (5/2 +29%) Prometeo	2.5 5/2(+29%)	(3) Prometeo 5/2, Winner at Yarmouth in April. Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap (9/2) at Newmarket (10f, good) 37 days ago, nearest finish. Likely to be on the premises. Yarmouth win reads well and was only 2l away in a messy race at Newmarket last time.
6 4th (6) (12/1 +14%) Jolty Jem	12 12/1(+14%)	(6) Jolty Jem 12/1, 20/1, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good) 19 days ago. This 6-race maiden will need to find improvement from somewhere if he's to open his account up in trip here. Will need to improve for this longer trip (pedigree offers some hope in that respect).
4 5th (4) (100/1 -1438%) Winter Life	100 100/1(-1438%)	(4) Winter Life 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 14/1, fourth of 6 in handicap at Haydock (10.2f, firm) 17 days ago. Needs to get back on track. No excuses under a prominent ride on her switch to handicaps at Haydock.
5 6th (5) (100/1 -1718%) Daymer Bay	100 100/1(-1718%)	(5) Daymer Bay 100/1, Good fifth of 13 in handicap at Goodwood (9.9f, good, 10/1) 10 days ago, slowly away. Cheekpieces on 1st time and he's in with a shout. 0-9 but didn't get the breaks last time at Goodwood and there are races in him.

20:40 Windsor Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

STAR RUNNER, a half-brother to Running Lion who landed the Duke Of Cambridge Stakes at Royal Ascot last week, is the most intriguing option in this relatively modest handicap. An opening mark of 75 looks very workable for the Andrew Balding-trained gelding on his handicap debut, especially as he was only two lengths behind an 81-rated rival when second at Chelmsford on his seasonal bow last moth. Prometeo has a match-fitness edge over Wootton's Jewel and rates the chief threat to the selection.

STAR RUNNER appeals as the type to do better now moving up in trip for this handicap debut and he gets the nod. If the first-time cheekpieces have the desired effect, Daymer Bay could have a part to play having performed well recently at Goodwood where he didn't enjoy the best of runs. Prometeo and handicap-debutant Wootton's Jewel both enter calculations, too.

Running Lion's half-brother STAR RUNNER has shown enough in his three races to believe he can pay his way in handicaps.

2 3rd (2) (66/1 -136%) Liege	66 66/1(-136%)	(2) Liege 66/1, 40/1 and eyeshields on for 1st time blinkered for 1st time, ran poorly when eighth of 9 in handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Hood back on. Modest form to date and difficult to make a case for..
4 4th (4) (25/1 -400%) Ready Or Nott	25 25/1(-400%)	(4) Ready Or Nott 25/1, Beaten by more than a lack of stamina when eighth of 13 in handicap (11/2) at Leicester (10f, good) just under 3 weeks ago. Made the frame on her first three starts this year but well beaten last time..
5 5th (5) (28/1 -741%) Magic Rascal	28 28/1(-741%)	(5) Magic Rascal 28/1, Unreliable individual. 4/1, ran no sort of race when ninth of 13 in handicap at Leicester (10f, good) just under 3 weeks ago. Has to be taken seriously if applying himself back at this track (went close a couple of starts ago). Modest form on his last two starts but ran well here last month when beaten a neck..
6 6th (6) (100/1 -4900%) Bramble Jelly	100 100/1(-4900%)	(6) Bramble Jelly 100/1, Wasted no time getting back to form when second of 11 in handicap at this C&D (good, 18/1) 9 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Not taken lightly. Has been placed three times this year; good effort here nine days ago..
3 7th (3) (400/1 -4344%) Midnight Missile	400 400/1(-4344%)	(3) Midnight Missile 400/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, showed more than previously when seventh of 9 on handicap debut at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Needs to show more before becoming of interest, however. Only modest form and no improvement last time on handicap debut..
10 8th (10) (200/1 -700%) Itsalotafun	200 200/1(-700%)	(10) Itsalotafun 200/1, Yet to hint at ability in claimer/minor events. Huge step forward needed on handicap debut. Failed to beat a rival on his first two starts, at Wolverhampton; no show last time..
1 9th (1) (100/1 -1329%) Diligencia	100 100/1(-1329%)	(1) Diligencia 100/1, 50/1, fared no better on turf debut when ninth of 10 in maiden at Lingfield (9f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Should make more of a splash now handicapping. Hasn't shown much but may do better now she goes handicapping..
9 10th (9) (150/1 -650%) Showpeace	150 150/1(-650%)	(9) Showpeace 150/1, Failed to show any ability in maiden/minor events last year. Off 9 months ahead of this handicap debut and is significantly upped in trip. Beat only two horses in three starts last year; gelded since and up in distance..

21:00 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

On a career-low mark of 47 prior to her latest effort over C&D, BRAMBLE JELLY produced her best effort so far to finish second and be beaten less than a length. Just 1lb higher and with Kevin Stott taking over in the plate, the three-year-old filly appears to have been found a good opening to gain a breakthrough success. Keen Interest and Magic Rascal are the ones expected to put up most resistance.

Preference is for MAGIC RASCAL, who needs to leave behind a shocker at Leicester earlier in the month but was in good form prior to that (narrowly denied at this course last month). He gets the nod over Bramble Jelly, who wasted no time getting back to form when runner-up over C&D recently. Handicap-debutante Diligencia and Keen Interest can fight out third.

This is a good opportunity for BRAMBLE JELLY to get off the mark after finishing second here this month. Magic Rascal is next best.

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.
