14:15 Thirsk Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

The twice-raced AMERICAN STYLE, who was only a head behind subsequent Chesham Stakes runner-up Pentle Bay in a maiden at Leicester 29 days ago, appeals strongly given how well the form is panning out. That run was a marked improvement from the selection's debut in a warm novice at York and further progress can see him get off the mark here. Cugini and Bella Love are other promising types to consider, while support in the betting for Richard Fahey's newcomer, Ay Gee Ell, would also be noteworthy.

AMERICAN STYLE left his debut well behind when going close in a decent maiden at Leicester 3 weeks ago and can go one better at the main expense of Bella Love, who made a promising start when runner-up at Wetherby. Ay Gee Ell is a newcomer to note.

The form pick is AMERICAN STYLE whose Leicester effort has substance. Stirrup Cup, a similar type, is second choice.

14:30 Musselburgh Maiden (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

COLOCOLO showed marked improvement from first to second start when runner-up at Windsor last month and as long as he manages to settle better, the son of Mohaather must hold every chance of breaking his maiden tag. Horus may have only managed fifth (and last) on his debut at Beverley but that was behind the subsequent Norfolk winner, while Harswell Dandy may have her consistency rewarded at some point, having not been outside the first three in five starts to date.

COLOCOLO holds much the best form on show so is taken to go one better than his recent Windsor second and get off the mark. Harswell Dandy and Horus can chase home Kevin Philippart de Foy's colt in that order.

The vote goes to COLOCOLO on the strength of his Windsor effort. Horus should build on his Beverley effort when highly tried.

14:45 Thirsk Handicap (Class 6) 14f Race Class Flow

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

The Crafty Mole, who had a 3lb claimer in the saddle when he overhauled BELIEVITANDUCAN near the finish to score at both Wetherby and Redcar earlier in the campaign, commands respect. However, the latter has done little wrong and can take advantage of his old adversary carrying a 6lb penalty for last week's Yarmouth win. Shadowofyoursmile also enters calculations as a lightly raced and improving stayer, whereas the betting can guide with Lingfield winner Nancy P, who steps up a couple of furlongs off 5lb higher.

THE CRAFTY MOLE ran out a convincing winner at Yarmouth last week and might be able to extend his winning sequence in 1¾m handicaps to 4. Last month's Lingfield scorer Nancy P is feared most ahead of Believeitanducan, who has been placed behind the selection on his 2 outings this season and meets him on better terms this time.

Believitanducan is weighted to reverse placings with THE CRAFTY MOLE but the latter is progressive and could well win again.

15:00 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Not beaten far in his attempt to land the double at Hamilton last time, CRYSTAL GUARD should have no issue with the slight drop back in trip and he looks the one to beat, with Mohammed Tabti taking off a valuable 5lb. Penelope's Sister did it well when getting on top late in the piece at Hamilton and she is likely to be thereabouts, along with recent Beverley second Escarpment.

PENELOPE'S SISTER took her form up a level when getting off the mark at Hamilton and can make light of a 5 lb penalty here. Beverley runner-up Escarpment is next on the list, with Crystal Guard also worthy of respect.

Realistically, the pair to concentrate on are Crystal Guard and ESCARPMENT (nap). The selection went close at Beverley last week.

15:15 Thirsk Stakes (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

THE REVEREND was noted as a promising type when he made a winning debut at Newmarket in November and, assuming he handles the forecast quicker ground, this could be a profitable starting point for the son of Loupe De Vega's three-year-old season. Thunder Run also entered a few notebooks with a good second on his racecourse bow at Wetherby 22 days ago and is shortlisted with improvement highly likely. Long distance traveller Urban Lion is another keep a close eye on in the betting.

THE REVEREND created a good impression when scoring first time out at Newmarket 8 months ago and he's worth a chance to maintain his unbeaten record under a penalty. Thunder Run shaped well behind a stablemate of the selection on debut at Haydock and he's open to a good deal of improvement, so he's the obvious threat.

The strongest contenders are Newmarket winner The Reverend and Wetherby runner-up THUNDER RUN.

15:30 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

WITHOUT DELAY is in the form of her life at present and returning to a track where she won over 1m in May can see her make it three wins in her last four starts. Tracy Waggott's charge gets the vote ahead of the returning Urban Dandy and Going Underground, who has a 7lb rise to overcome for a determined success at Ayr last month. Darbucks and Pembrokeshire are entitled to be thereabouts as well.

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and WITHOUT DELAY is taken to quickly resume winning ways on the back of his good recent Thirsk third. Southwell second Urban Dandy is feared most now the cheekpieces go back on, with C&D winners Pembrokeshire and Purple Martini also in the mix.

The verdict goes to PURPLE MARTINI, who runs Musselburgh well and is handicapped to have a say. Second choice is Urban Dandy.

15:45 Thirsk Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

GEORGIE WOOSTER went up 9lb after a smooth display on her handicap debut at Redcar in May. The form of that contest has worked out particularly well, with the runner-up winning twice along with the third and fourth, so it would be no surprise if Tim Easterby's gelding had further improvement to come. Savvy Warrior appreciated the drop back to 7f when getting off the mark at Wetherby and is a player off a 4lb higher mark. Others for the shortlist include Langholm and Masterclass.

It would be no real surprise were ready last-time-out winning 3-y-os GEORGIE WOOSTER and Savvy Warrior to dominate this, with marginal preference for the former given how strong he was at the finish at Redcar. Of the rest, Book of Life is worth a check in the betting eased markedly in class for an in-form yard.

Judged on the strength of his Redcar win, GEORGIE WOOSTER (nap) is set to follow up. Savvy Warrior is feared most.

16:05 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 9f Race Class Flow

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

The removal of headgear appeared to work the oracle for Jumeira Vision when opening his turf account at Redcar recently. However, Katie Scott's gelding isn't certain to replicate that performance and a 3lb higher rating may find him out. With that in mind, this could prove a suitable opportunity for seven-time Flat winner SHINE ON BRENDAN to add to his tally. The Son of Society Rock arrives on the back of a close-up third at Hamilton and ticks plenty of the right boxes. Fanzone also enters calculations.

SHINE ON BRENDAN is on an appealing mark, has a solid track record, and arrives on the back of a firm step in the right direction when third at Hamilton, so he gets the nod over Scarriff, who will be a big player if she's able to lead. Fanzone isn't without hope, either.

This is open but FLIGHT OF ANGELS is down in class off a career-low mark and this could be the day she gets herself back on track.

16:20 Thirsk Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

PATONTHEBACK's bid for a hat-trick of victories saw him go very close to doing so when finishing a half-length second at Beverley last Tuesday. The six-year-old takes advantage of the fact he can race off the same mark before being reassessed and may prove a tough nut to crack. Arnaz remains open to progression on just his sixth career outing, while Sunny Orange appears best of the remainder.

KING'S CROWN hinted at a revival when sixth at Chester last time and can build on it here from a 2 lb lower mark to resume winning ways. Patontheback brings very solid credentials to the table and is next on the list ahead of the handily-weighted Sunny Orange and in-form duo Arnaz and One More Dream.

Off a reduced mark back at the scene of his maiden win, KING'S CROWN is an interesting alternative to Patontheback.

16:40 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

KNIGHTS AFFAIR has been knocking on the door in recent months and he should take all the beating if seeing out a first attempt over 2m. The four-year-old appears to have plenty in his favour, with his biggest danger forecast to emerge from Lord Torranaga. The Philip Kirby-trained gelding finished just under four lengths behind the selection last time and better is expected over this longer trip. Sea Master may fare best of the remainder.

KNIGHTS AFFAIR has been knocking on the door and should have no issue with the step up in trip, so he's preferred to the in-form Lord Torranaga, who doesn't look as well treated as the selection. Sea Master is a major player if he stays.

The David O'Meara-trained KNIGHTS AFFAIR continues to knock on the door and it might just open over this longer distance.

16:55 Thirsk Handicap (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow

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

JEHANGEER made a promising return to action when third to the progressive Woodhay Wonder at Newmarket in May and that rival has since performed with a lot of credit at Royal Ascot. The son of Kodiac was subsequently gelded and given a wind operation, so he may take another step forward. Tinto won over C&D when last seen and has to be considered along with Summerghand, who has shown signs in recent months that he remains in good heart.

10-y-o SUMMERGHAND ran about as well as could be expected from his position in the Buckingham Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot and gets the nod to take advantage of this drop in grade. Jehangeer shaped encouragingly on his reappearance at Newmarket and has both the pedigree and physique to go on improving following both a gelding and breathing operation. Strong Johnson seems to be building up to something and completes the shortlist.

Nicely bred 3yo JEHANGEER should build on his Newmarket reappearance effort. Summerghand is second choice.

17:05 Tipperary Stakes 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SHE'S QUALITY is the highest rated runner in the line-up and looks the one to beat. Tried in Group 1 company on two occasions as a juvenile, the Jack Davison-trained bay has been in fine form of late, filling the runner-up spot in a Listed contest at Cork in May. She readily accounted for seven rivals on her handicap debut at Down Royal last month and she'll be well-fancied to follow-up. Beaten by just half-a-length on her penultimate start at the Curragh, Majestic Beauty might be able to bounce back from a disappointing effort at Royal Ascot. Last of 28 in the Palace Of Holyroodhouse Stakes, she is now fitted with a tongue-strap for the first time. Gabrielle's Spirit has a course and distance win to her name and warrants respect with Keithen Kennedy claiming a valuable 7lb, while recent Cork victor Zara Ellis is another leading hope.

SHE'S QUALITY capitalised on the drop in class in no uncertain terms when making a winning handicap debut at Down Royal recently and Jack Davison's 3-y-o will prove a tough nut to crack if arriving in the same mood. Zarra Ellis has few miles on the clock, so she can give the selection most to do following her recent maiden victory at Cork, with Majestic Beauty rounding off the shortlist.

This looks like a good opportunity for the speedy SHE'S QUALITY to add to a recent Down Royal handicap win achieved under a big burden

17:15 Musselburgh Stakes (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Having slipped leaving the gates at Hamilton last week, CUBAN ROCK is best forgiven his failure to justify favouritism. Jim Goldie's string remain in fine fettle and the son of Havana Grey holds leading claims now pitched into a classified stakes contest. The in-form Ustath is rated 1lb higher than the selection and is a viable alternative, while last year's winner Golden Prosperity shouldn't be underestimated either.

This is a decidedly weak contest in which it could pay to side with USTATH given that he's the only one to arrive in form. Cuban Rock is a big threat if he can bounce back from a poor recent effort and Sound of Iona could get involved dropping back in trip.

It could be worth taking a punt on HARD NUT. Alternatives include Ustath, Jamie's Choice, and Cuban Rock.

17:25 Thirsk Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Winless since scoring at Musselburgh last August, FORESEEABLE FUTURE has dropped 9lb in the weights since then and stepping up in trip could work the oracle as he looks to build upon a strong placed effort at Ripon. Less than a length behind him in that contest was Willow Baby (fifth), who can have a say again, while Modular Magic has decent claims on his penultimate effort at Ayr. Others to note include Calafrio, Chattel Village and Ishe Worth Agamble.

An open-looking sprint in which it could be worth taking a chance on PARR FIRE, who was below form at Carlisle recently but she'd shaped quite encouragingly on return so Ben Haslam's 4-y-o can build on that back in a visor. Garifullina should appreciate this return to 6f, so she can give the selection most to think about, with Foreseeable Future and Willow Baby another couple fancied to go well, too.

A chance is taken on WILLOW BABY for whom 6f is probably a better fit that the 5f or 7f she's also been tried over.

17:40 Tipperary Listed 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

POWERFUL NATION is the suggestion in this competitive Listed affair. Beaten by a short head on debut at Cork, he went a place better on his next start at the Mallow venue, with subsequent winners in second and third. The Windsor Castle was then mooted as an option for the Sioux Nation bay, but he comes here fresh after skipping that Royal Ascot heat. Treasure Isle, Celtic Chieftain and Sir Yoshi are three who did line-up in the Windsor Castle, with the David Marnane-trained latter a highly respectable seventh of 27. The Mehmas colt already has a course and distance win to his name and it'll come as no surprise if he manages to strike again. The aforementioned Celtic Chieftain and Treasure Isle both flopped at Royal Ascot and are on a retrieval mission, with Ryan Moore staying loyal to the latter. Proudly Yours and Bath winner Lady With The Lamp are others of interest.

OXFORD ROCK shaped with plenty of encouragement in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot a couple of weeks ago and might prove the answer to this listed prize. Treasure Isle failed to fire at the Royal meeting but looked useful at Naas prior to that and Ryan Moore keeps the faith. Andrew Slattery's Cork maiden winner Powerful Nation completes the shortlist.

Very competitive, with a tentative vote going to OXFORD ROCK, on the back of a good Queen Mary run

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

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

A taking winner over 5f at Chepstow last week, GUNNERSIDE is quickly turned out again for his in-form connections and may be able to follow up under a 4lb penalty on the rise in distance. The son of Gutaifan may have too much for the capable Sydney Bay and Northern Prince, who posted arguably a career-best effort when not beaten here over 5f last time out.

GUNNERSIDE capitalised on his falling mark when scoring at Chepstow 9 days ago and he remains well treated on the pick of last season's form under a penalty. He is taken to follow up returned to this longer trip, with Hombre feared most as he makes only his third start on turf. Northern Prince could also be in the mix trying 6f for the first time.

An open-looking handicap but the less-exposed NORTHERN PRINCE looks ready to win for the first time. The danger is Batal Dandy.

18:00 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

It was a deeper race SECOND COLLECTION won over 5f here nine days ago and although a surprise winner that day, her power-packed finish suggests she holds a major chance of coping with today's extra yardage and can follow up under a 4lb penalty. Diamond Cottage has gone well over this C&D before and is an appealing alternative stepping back up in trip. Sir Bolton is also feared off a competitive mark.

SIR BOLTON didn't do a great deal wrong when runner-up in a first-time visor at Windsor last week and a repeat of that taking on his elders for the first time may suffice. Second Collection got the job done here recently and is a threat under a penalty, with Vaunted another to consider.

The recent win here by Second Collection gives her every chance, but SIR BOLTON is knocking on the door and has greater scope.

18:10 Tipperary Handicap 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

CUBAN GREY has been a model of consistency in recent months and looks the safest option in this open contest. No worse than fourth on his last five starts, the 59-rated grey was successful over the course and distance in May and went down by just a neck when last seen at Down Royal. Havana Notion (won this race last year) and Realtin Fantasy dead-heated for third when half-a-length behind the selection at the Northern Ireland venue, and it'll come as no surprise if either manage to reverse the form. Ginormous hit the crossbar at Naas last week and will be well-fancied to go a place better, while Babyface (first time hood), who was fifth in that Naas heat, is another capable of making his presence felt. Adrian McGuinness is represented by I'm Spartacus and She's Smart and they both look to have solid claims.

A tight-knit handicap in which marginal preference is for CUBAN GREY who can bag another C&D success on the back of his good recent Down Royal second when his jockey put up 1 lb overweight. Fellow C&D winner Havana Notion heads the list of dangers with Ginormous, She's Smart and Real Tin Fantasy also firmly in the picture.

Last year's winner HAVANA NOTION is taken to reverse recent Down Royal form with both Cuban Grey and Realtin Fantasy

18:20 Epsom Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

DAISY ROOTS has been running consistently well for a number of weeks and the manner of those efforts have all suggested a step back up in distance could see her get back to winning ways. Giselles Defence must enter calculations based on his second at Leicester, while the return to a more unconventional track might aid the cause of Mrembo.

Unlike most of his rivals, GISELLES DEFENCE arrives in good nick and has no stamina concerns over this trip, so he's very much the percentage call. Oj Lifestyle isn't easy to assess but he's very well handicapped these days, with Mrembo more likely than not to bounce back from a lesser effort last time given her profile.

Although GISELLES DEFENCE's best form in Britain has come on slower surfaces he acted on good ground in Ireland and is in good form.

18:30 Bath Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

MY DELILAH was almost able to exploit a sliding handicap mark when filling the runner-up spot at this venue last time out. The fact Jack Doughty takes off a handy 5lb today will only strengthen her claims and Adrian Wintle's filly is taken to go one better. Abolish is on a long losing run but rates a threat off a competitive mark with a first-time visor added. Crimson Angel is also feared on these terms.

MY DELILAH has been threatening to come good for a while now and with this slight step up in trip sure to suit, she makes plenty of appeal. Lil Gulf usually runs in better races than this so she's feared, along with Crimson Angel.

Very low mileage in turf handicaps, CRIMSON ANGEL (nap) deserves a change of fortune and can account for C&D winner My Delilah.

18:40 Tipperary Stakes 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SURPASS, who holds an entry in the National Stakes at the Curragh in September, showed a nice attitude to win on debut over the course and distance in May and he looks capable of following-up now. The Saxon Warrior colt is sure to have learned plenty from his initial outing, coming from off the pace before staying on well in the closing stages to prevail by a neck. Named after the late Lady O'Reilly, Lady O is the only filly in the line-up. A 30,000-euro purchase at the Goffs Orby Sale, the Australia bay was successful on debut at Roscommon, with subsequent Listowel winner Elzem back in third. Declared to run at Roscommon on Tuesday, Leopardstown fourth Runninsonofagun is an interesting contender for Tony Mullins, while newcomer Dakota Blue, who also holds an National Stakes entry, completes the line-up.

SURPASS came from well off the pace to make a winning start to his career here 5 weeks ago and is narrowly preferred to fellow debut scorer Lady O.

A disappointing turnout and likely a good opportunity for SURPASS to build on a C&D debut win in May

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

HOT CASH boasts a decent pedigree for a relatively cheap purchase, with his dam being a winner at Group 3 level, and he represents a yard that are holding their form well at this time of the year. He gets the vote to make a winning start to his career. Sir Peter Fossick is a half-brother to no less than six winners, including some very useful types, and he commands respect, while Jack Andrea and Dark Thunderstorm appeal most of those who boast racecourse experience.

SIR PETER FOSSICK makes plenty of appeal on paper being a half-brother to several winners, including smart 2-y-o 6f winner Great White Eagle, so he's fancied to get off to a winning start. Jack Andrea has the best piece of form on offer, with Hot Cash another newcomer to note.

The standard set by Jack Andrea and Dark Thunderstorm is not high. Newcomers SIR PETER FOSSICK and Hot Cash are well related

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

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

WEDGEWOOD has held her form well and, off an attractive rating in comparison to her current all-weather mark, the Tony Carroll-trained filly has a lot going for her in this company. Glamorous Joy is open plenty of improvement on just her fourth start in a handicap and rates a key player with Tyler Heard claiming 3lb. Captain Bentley and Katar are a couple of others to monitor closely in the betting.

DALEY T has a good record fresh and will be suited by the drop back in trip, so shades the vote over long-standing maiden Katar, who was only just denied in a similar event over C&D recently.

This looks a good opportunity for WEDGEWOOD to get off the mark on turf. Longstanding maiden Katar looks the main danger.

19:10 Tipperary Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The in-foal ONE BOSS might be able to follow-up on her recent Limerick success. On what was her debut for Willie McCreery, the Saxon Warrior four-year-old came in for plenty of market support and was value for more than the winning margin of a length. McCreery also saddles Morning Approach in this 10-runner affair and the three-time winner is not without her chance. Katie Bairdie put in a career best performance when second at Limerick last month and while no match for the progressive Quadruple, she had some useful types in behind. Red Heel, who won for the sixth time at Down Royal, is sure to have plenty of supporters in her bid to follow-up, while Leopardstown winner Oriental Dancer and top-weight Drop The Dip are others worthy of consideration.

ORIENTAL DANCER readily stamped her authority through the closing stages at Leopardstown recently and she could have enough to defy a 7-lb rise. Fellow last-time-out winner Red Heel is a threat and Katie Bairdie is likely to give another good account.

Three last-time-out winners clash. RED HEEL seemed to have plenty in reserve at Down Royal\p and gets the vote to follow up

19:25 Epsom Handicap (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow

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

MR WAGYU has been found an excellent opportunity to get his head back in front at a track where he has always run well. The nine-year-old has finished in the first three on each occasion, all of those efforts coming on Derby day since 2022, and this contest is unlikely to be as competitive. Get It returned from Bahrain to score at Windsor last month and is a player, along with Reveiller, who is entitled to benefit from first-time cheekpieces.

MR WAGYU was only just denied in a better race than this over C&D on Derby Day and can end his losing run. Get It took advantage of a drop in the weights returned to these shores at Windsor and remains on a winning mark, so is next best ahead of Indian Creak (won this last year off 2 lb higher), who took a step back in the right direction when fourth in the same race.

Last year's winner INDIAN CREAK is well treated again and he hinted at a revival last time. Mr Wagyu also has strong C&D form.

19:35 Bath Maiden (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

ZARIELA is well treated at these weights and could go one better than her narrow defeat over an extended 7f at Lingfield last time. Atlantis Blue didn't appear to get home over 1m2f at Doncaster on Saturday so it's no surprise to see her cutting back in distance. She is joint top-rated in this line-up, alongside the selection, and should mount a bold bid, while Flying Star looks best of the remainder.

DARYSINA GOLD ran her best race allowed to stride on in front when second in a handicap at Salisbury last week and shades the vote over Flying Star, who has improved with each start and is bred to be suited by this longer trip. Zariela and Atlantis Blue are also players in a tight fillies' maiden.

Much improved last week over a galloping mile on fast turf, DARYSINA GOLD can account for the more exposed Zariela.

19:45 Tipperary Handicap 9f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A case can be made for plenty of these, with HELP ME RHONDA the suggestion. An eyecatcher at Fairyhouse and Gowran, she was last seen finishing third in a stronger contest at Limerick, with the 77-rated September Leaves a place behind. While clearly not one of the leading lights at Ballydoyle, Gushing should be able to make her presence felt in a contest of this quality. Fifth of 15 at Leopardstown on her latest start, she might benefit from the application of a tongue-strap. Mapa ran well to finish fourth at Limerick last month and is of definite interest on her handicap debut, while others for the shortlist are Glimmerglass, Leopardstown winner Koniag and the lowly-rated Highland Bells.

HELP ME RHONDA has caught the eye both starts in handicaps, doing well to finish third from a poor track position at Limerick 11 days ago. She can fully confirm that promise here, with Koniag and Mapa feared most.

In an open race, Sheila Lavery's filly MAPA, may repay each-way support on her handicap debut following a satisfactory Limerick run

20:00 Epsom Handicap (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

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

WAHRAAN bounced back to form with a victory over this trip at Newbury last week and a 5lb penalty for that success may not be enough to stop him here. That said, Alpen Power has not been disgraced on his last couple of starts and should not be discounted. The unexposed Atlantic Convoy edges out Incremental and Crescent Lake to be best of the rest.

Ralph Beckett's son of Galileo ATLANTIC CONVOY appeals as a likely improver now stepping into handicap company with his stamina drawn out more so gets the nod. Alpen Power is weighted to go well and next on the list ahead of Crescent Lake who rates the pick of the rest for minor honours.

With one or two doubts over each of his rivals, a chance is taken on the reappearing ECTOCROSS.

20:10 Bath Stakes (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

A low-grade race that may be best to treat with caution, but FOINIX has been hammering on the door of late and should go very close in his bid to notch a second career success. Rock And Royal took a big step forward when third over 1m at Yarmouth last time and she could improve further for this extra quarter of a mile, while Alyara also has a squeak.

This looks a decent opportunity for the reliable FOINIX to land a deserved second career success. Rock And Royal has fewer convictions than most of these and the way she stuck on for third in a similar race over 1m at Yarmouth last time suggests this step up to 1¼m may help. Tomorrow Day also makes the shortlist.

Back up to 1m2f for the first time in two years, ALYARA may become the latest to deny the very consistent Foinix another win.

20:20 Tipperary Handicap 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

It might be worth taking a chance on BIGZ BELIEF in this weak affair. Better known for his exploits over flights, the seven-year-old returns to the level for the first time since November. While he hasn't been setting the world alight of late, he is a four time winner and can make an impact here off a mark of 49. Elsa's Pride and Black Soul are more obvious contenders, with the former just failing to get up at Fairyhouse on her most recent start. A winner at Cork last season, the 61-rated four-year-old will be well-fancied to take this. Black Soul filled the runner-up spot over the course and distance in August of last year, finishing seventh on his recent return to action at Limerick. The highest rated runner in the field, it'll be disappointing if he is not involved towards the business end. Hinemoa, Struck By Churchill and Crypto Crash are others for the shortlist.

The interesting one is YOUNG LUCY, who was the subject of a massive gamble prior to being a non runner in a handicap at Gowran last month. Elsa's Pride ran her best race when just failing at Fairyhouse and is another to consider along with Struck By Churchil, who's open to improvement back on the Flat.

Narrowly beaten at Fairyhouse on her second start this season, ELSA'S PRIDE has obvious prospects of going one place better.

20:30 Epsom Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

In a wide-open event, marginal preference is for THE CONQUEROR, who was only beaten a neck into second off this mark when last seen at Windsor a month ago. Angel On High has also been running very well in defeat off his current mark of late, while recent Goodwood winner Our Papa Smurf has to be of interest. The shortlist is completed by Standbackandlook and Thursday.

OUR PAPA SMURF is unexposed in relation to his rivals and he took a step forward when winning a 13-runner handicap at Goodwood last time. The longer trip should be suitable and he's taken to edge out Thursday, who only found one too good at Lingfield 11 days ago. Angel On High is another one to consider.

The Conqueror and Angel On High appear solid to run well but Our Papa Smurf and THURSDAY are far more lightly raced.

20:45 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Seven-time course winner Blue Hero has to enter calculations, while Checkmeout also warrants respect following her runner-up effort at Chepstow. The vote, however, goes to KHANGAI. There was plenty to like about his close-up third over 1m2f at Nottingham last time, form which has been boosted with the fourth winning since, and he must have every chance lining up off the same mark of 53.

Course specialist BLUE HERO was a bit better than the result over a longer trip here last time and is taken to land an eighth win at this venue. Roger Varian's recent Nottingham runner-up Checkmeout is second choice ahead of Khangai.

The step up to a longer trip appears timely for both KHANGAI and Checkmeout. Course regular Blue Hero is not ignored lightly.

(9) Little Boy Blue 33/1, Won a 7f Chepstow handicap last June and third in this race on his next start. Feasibly handicapped again but his peak fitness has to be taken on trust after 7 months off.

20/1(-186%)
(3) Good Karma 20/1, Low-mileage 4-y-o but his 3 efforts this season have been a little underwhelming. This is less competitive than the big-field sprint he contested at York last time but others have less to prove.
Handicap career has not flourished in three runs this season, dropped 7lb in the process.

(6) Justcallmepete 100/1, Lower in the weights on turf and he ran well for fourth in a big field at York last time. Should be capable of winning from this mark.
Led over 1f out when fourth of 16 at York (7f, good to soft) on latest outing.

(2) Spanish Star 25/1, C&D winner. 14/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Doubts about whether he's at the top of his game right now but this is a drop in grade having contested Class 2/3 events previously this season.
Won off 4lb higher over C&D last June; not disgraced here on penultimate start.

21:00 Epsom Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

JUSTCALLMEPETE has dropped to an eye-catching mark and his most recent fourth at York a few weeks ago suggests that he could be hard to stop in a race of this nature. Tropez Power scored at Southwell in April and has not been disgraced on any of his three subsequent starts. With that in mind, he could prove to be the main danger, ahead of Hodler and Mister Bluebird.

Perhaps this is the day when JUSTCALLMEPETE cashes in on his lower turf mark. Marley Park's fine C&D record makes him a must for the shortlist, while Mister Bluebird and Tropez Power are both more than capable from their current marks.

Cases can be made for Mister Bluebird and Tropez Power but it is not hard to side with course specialist MARLAY PARK (nap).

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
