Batal Dubai

3.5
3.5/1(+36%)
(8) Batal Dubai 3.5/1, Lightly-raced C&D winner. Seventh of 11 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 9/1) 26 days ago, finishing with running left. Booking of Murphy a plus and should give a good account with that run under his belt.
C&D winner at two; still has time to do better in handicaps; one to consider.

Animate

6/1(+40%)
(9) Animate 6/1, Course winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 7/1) 24 days ago. Needs to take a step forward here.
Two 7f wins on Tapeta; not yet fully exposed and the drop in trip could squeeze out more.

Lethal Levi

5/1(+17%)
(2) Lethal Levi 5/1, Six wins from 21 Flat runs. 20/1, below form fifteenth of 27 in handicap at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) 7 days ago. Good second at York prior to that and big player if able to reproduce that form on AW debut.
York 2nd in May gives solid claims; this is more manageable than the Wokingham last week.

Coachello

9/1(+25%)
(1) Coachello 9/1, Latest win at Meydan in January. 16/1, 13¾ lengths last of 8 to Art Power in Greenlands Stakes at the Curragh (6f, good) 35 days ago. Sights lowered now switched to tapeta but looks vulnerable under top-weight all the same.
Big player on his best form and he has a useful record on AW; contender despite big weight.

5th (5) Tiger Crusade (10/1 -18%)
Tiger Crusade

10
10/1(-18%)
(5) Tiger Crusade 10/1, Six wins from 23 Flat runs. 2 wins from 4 runs this year, the latest at Lingfield in February. 6/4, below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f), unable to sustain effort. Off 112 days and needs to raise his game a touch.
Two 7f wins this year; below par latest; will need a strong pace back at 6f.
6
6th (6) Soldier's Minute (14/1 -75%)
Soldier's Minute

14
14/1(-75%)
(6) Soldier's Minute 14/1, Respectable fourth of 15 in handicap (11/1) at York (6f, good to firm) 14 days ago, finishing well. 12 lb higher back on the AW but he possesses a good strike rate on synthetics (5-20) and is certainly capable of a bold show.
A smart performer on AW and he's been catching the eye on turf this year; interesting.
4
7th (4) Magical Spirit (14/1 -75%)
Magical Spirit

14
14/1(-75%)
(4) Magical Spirit 14/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Doncaster in April. 33/1, creditable third of 21 in handicap at York (6f, firm) 45 days ago, finishing 1½ lengths adrift of the second, Lethal Levi. Each-way shout.
Not far off his very best this season; C&D winner; should be in the thick of it.
7
8th (7) Raatea (3.5/1 -27%)
Raatea

3.5
3.5/1(-27%)
(7) Raatea 3.5/1, C&D winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, won 12-runner handicap at Haydock (6f, firm, 13/2) 21 days ago, driven out. 3 lb rise fair enough and he has to be taken seriously.
Won this race decisively 12 months ago; game effort at Haydock latest; should be involved.

Aleezdancer

11
11/1(+21%)
(3) Aleezdancer 11/1, Five wins from 19 Flat runs. Latest win at Doncaster in April. 25/1, respectable tenth of 21 in handicap at York (6f, firm) 45 days ago. Held by Lethal Levi on that evidence.
Looks good on slow ground; still has more to come and some aptitude for AW once last year.
LTO Selection:

12:20 Newcastle Handicap (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

A game winner off 3lb lower at Haydock last month, Raatea must enter calculations on his return to the all-weather, but this is a tougher contest so MAGICAL SPIRIT is marginally preferred. Kevin Ryan's inmate finished a length and three-quarters back in third in a competitive sprint at York and holds every chance of building on that now switching to an artificial surface off the same mark. Tiger Crusade and Lethal Levi are others worthy of consideration.

RAATEA bagged this prize 12 months ago and is taken to repeat the dose on the back of his Haydock success 3 weeks ago, for which a 3 lb rise is hardly prohibitive. Next on the list is Soldier's Minute, who shaped as though coming to hand at York a fortnight ago and the return to the all-weather will be no bad thing for this 8-y-o. Lethal Levi was down the field in the Wokingham last weekend but also performed well at York prior to that and will be a threat if taking to this surface.

Coachello is dangerous despite top weight but SOLDIER'S MINUTE is a reliable performer on AW and retains a chunk of his ability.

Denruth Diamond

25
25/1(-79%)
(2) Denruth Diamond 25/1, Fair form, reaching the frame twice in Britain before winning a Saint-Cloud conditions race over 6.5f 17 days ago. First-time cheekpieces added. Improvement will be needed.
Remains to be seen whether she can transfer the form of French win back to home soil.
7

Star Of Mystery

0.8
0.8/1(+42%)
(7) Star Of Mystery 0.8/1, Shaped well when second on debut and easily went one better at Haydock (6f) 12 days later, drawing a whopping 11 lengths clear. Very promising.
Scored by 11l at Haydock last time and appears to have Listed/Group potential; respected.
1
2nd (1) Cry Fiction (40/1 +0%)
Cry Fiction

40
40/1(+0%)
(1) Cry Fiction 40/1, Made a winning debut over 6f at Windsor in May, knuckling down well to see off a more experienced rival. That form is nothing special but she's open to progress.
Made a winning debut at Windsor despite being carried left; bare form is ordinary.
8
3rd (8) Unbreak My Heart (12/1 -71%)
Unbreak My Heart

12
12/1(-71%)
(8) Unbreak My Heart 12/1, Confirmed debut promise when winning a 5-runner Bath novice (5f, firm) 14 days ago. There should be more to come from her over 6f.
Solid effort on debut, then won at Bath; pedigree suggests she'll do better yet.

4th (3) Indispensable (16/1 -45%)
Indispensable

16
16/1(-45%)
(3) Indispensable 16/1, Ten Sovereigns filly who struck at the third time of asking in 5f Ripon maiden 10 days ago, travelling powerfully and always doing enough. May have more to come.
Solid record in sprint maidens and the form has substance; the type to do better still.
5
5th (5) Point Of Attack (6.5/1 +41%)
Point Of Attack

6.5
6.5/1(+41%)
(5) Point Of Attack 6.5/1, Blue Point filly who travelled well in the lead and was caught only in the final 50 yds when a promising second on her Lingfield debut (6f, AW) 25 days ago. Can be expected to improve for leading yard.
Clear second at Lingfield (AW) on debut; open to progress and one to consider.
10
6th (10) Ziggy's Phoenix (28/1 -56%)
Ziggy's Phoenix

28
28/1(-56%)
(10) Ziggy's Phoenix 28/1, Fairly useful filly who won a Ripon novice and the Lily Agnes at Chester in the spring. Has run creditably when fourth at Chantilly and Beverley since but those defeats expose her limitations to some degree. Races beyond 5f for the first time.
Won the Lily Agnes and fourth in the Hilary Needler but is a touch exposed now.

Rare Jewel

14
14/1(+0%)
(6) Rare Jewel 14/1, Exceed And Excel filly. half-sister to 5f/6f winner Noble Title. Dam smart 5f winner (including at 2 yrs). Top stable prepared to pitch her into a listed race on debut. Very interesting to see how much strength there is behind her in the betting.
Exceed And Excel filly; stablemate of Indispensable; sole newcomer in the field.

8th (9) What A Question (4.5/1 +0%)
What A Question

4.5
4.5/1(+0%)
(9) What A Question 4.5/1, Lope De Vega filly who looked a good prospect when winning easily on her 6f Goodwood debut 15 days ago, impressing with the turn of foot she showed to shoot clear. Major player.
Made all for emphatic success at Goodwood two weeks ago; looks a useful prospect.
4
9th (4) Neverstopdreaming (33/1 -32%)
Neverstopdreaming

33
33/1(-32%)
(4) Neverstopdreaming 33/1, €220,000 No Nay Never filly who built on her opening Goodwood fourth when winning 6f Pontefract maiden (good to firm) 19 days ago. More to come but a fair chunk of improvement needed to go close at this level.
Finished behind Indispensable on debut but won next time and may improve further.
LTO Selection:

12:40 Newmarket Listed (Class 1) 6f Race Class Flow

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

STAR OF MYSTERY scored by 11 lengths at Haydock last time, which suggests she could be above average for her powerful connections and she looks the one to beat. The main danger could come in the shape of What A Question, who was eased down when winning well on debut at Goodwood and should have more to come, while Point Of Attack is also one to note after her runner-up effort at Lingfield.

STAR OF MYSTERY looked potentially smart when slamming 8 rivals at Haydock last time and is selected to take the step up to listed company in her stride. What A Question also impressed when making a winning start to her career at Goodwood a couple of weeks ago and is a clear second choice ahead of Point of Attack.

Star Of Mystery looks a good prospect but there are plausible alternatives, most notably UNBREAK MY HEART and Indispensable.

5
1st (5) Tiber Flow (2.5/1 +29%)
Tiber Flow

2.5
2.5/1(+29%)
(5) Tiber Flow 2.5/1, Smart sort who won a 6f Newbury listed race last May. Continued in good heart when comfortably held by Creative Force at Haydock (6f, good) 7 weeks ago but the feeling is he may well find a couple too strong.
Fine record on AW and he's run creditably in two turf starts this year; not fully exposed.
4
2nd (4) Spycatcher (4.5/1 +0%)
Spycatcher

4.5
4.5/1(+0%)
(4) Spycatcher 4.5/1, Added to his fine record fresh when producing a convincing performance to land 7-runner conditions event at Thirsk (7f, heavy) in April. Shaped as if still in form when fourth in a Heritage handicap at Ascot (7f, soft) 7 weeks ago and could well hit the frame once again.
Classy on his day and he's looked better than ever this year; strong claims.
6
3rd (6) Witch Hunter (5.5/1 +0%)
Witch Hunter

5.5
5.5/1(+0%)
(6) Witch Hunter 5.5/1, Proved better than ever under a well-judged hold-up ride when landing Buckingham Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm, 50/1) 9 days ago. Has been placed in listed company previously and could well make a splash provided this doesn't come too soon.
Conditions fine and he turned in a career best when winning at Royal Ascot; major player.
1
4th (1) Brad The Brief (4/1 -33%)
Brad The Brief

4
4/1(-33%)
(1) Brad The Brief 4/1, Talented sprinter who upped his game when joining this trainer last term, winning conditions event at Haydock in May and followed up in Group 2 Greenland at the Curragh 2 weeks later. Finished down the field in Group 1 at Ascot when last seen in October but he has a great record fresh.
Absent since poor run in a G1 in October but goes well fresh and the highest rated in here.
3
5th (3) Mount Athos (4.5/1 +10%)
Mount Athos

4.5
4.5/1(+10%)
(3) Mount Athos 4.5/1, 13/8, had winning run ended but had excuses when 3¾ lengths second of 7 to Spycatcher in minor event at Thirsk (7f, heavy) 10 weeks ago, perhaps unsuited by conditions and taking longer to come towards the near rail in the straight than the rest. Had wind op since and remains open to progress.
No match for Spycatcher in April but 2-2 on AW and he's had a wind op since last time.
8
6th (8) Prince Of Pillo (28/1 +15%)
Prince Of Pillo

28
28/1(+15%)
(8) Prince Of Pillo 28/1, Winner of first 2 starts and took his form up a notch with listed success at Ayr in September. Good third in a Group 3 final 2-y-o start but struggled on both outings last month. Back up to 6f for the first time since his debut and is tough to fancy.
Well short of his 2yo best in two runs this year; lots to prove on AW debut.
7
7th (7) Iconic Moment (14/1 +36%)
Iconic Moment

14
14/1(+36%)
(7) Iconic Moment 14/1, Winner of both starts at 2 yrs (both at 7f) and got up close home on return in a listed contest at Lingfield (7f) in March. Fourth in a valuable 1m conditions race next time but proved to be a disappointment on turf debut in listed race at Newmarket (7f, good) just over 8 weeks ago.
Three 7f wins on Polytrack; form dipped switched to turf last time; first 6f run today.
2
8th (2) Judicial (28/1 -100%)
Judicial

28
28/1(-100%)
(2) Judicial 28/1, C&D winner. 5/1, good ½-length second of 9 to Summerghand in listed race at Lingfield (6f, AW), edged out only late on. Finished down the field in last year's renewal (won 2020 edition), but that was a rare blip, but could get involved after 7 months off the track.
Prolific winner; good 2nd in Listed event in November (6f, Polytrack); can go well fresh.
LTO Selection:

12:55 Newcastle Group 3 (Class 1) 6f Race Class Flow

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

This represents a considerable drop in grade for BRAD THE BRIEF who, despite making his return from a 259-day break, is a solid contender based on the pick of his form. He kept on well to score in the Greenlands Stakes at the Curragh in May last year and a reproduction of that effort can see him go close. Witch Hunter sprung a surprise in the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot so has to enter calculations upped in grade, while Mount Athos completes the shortlist.

An open-looking renewal which can go the way of BRAD THE BRIEF, who found his first attempt at the top level too competitive on Champions Day at Ascot back in October, but Hugo Palmer's 6-y-o can add to his already outstanding record fresh. Mount Athos had his winning run ended back on turf at Thirsk 10 weeks ago, but he remains capable of better back on a synthetic surface, with recent Royal Ascot winner Witch Hunter another worth considering.

Witch Hunter shone at Royal Ascot and goes well on AW but SPYCATCHER has looked better than ever this season and gets the vote.

7/1(+7%)
(3) Kemari 7/1, Queen's Vase winner in 2021 and has run plenty of good races in defeat since, including at Meydan this year. Runner-up in this 12 months ago but Buick prefers New London.
On a two-year losing spell but he's capable of smart form and can't be dismissed.

Outbox

40
40/1(-21%)
(4) Outbox 40/1, Smart performer at best (winner of this 2 years ago) but well held all 3 starts this season (has beaten just 2 horses in 3 starts).
Successful in this contest two years ago but has a doubt over current form.
1
3rd (1) New London (1.1/1 +0%)
New London

1.1
1.1/1(+0%)
(1) New London 1.1/1, Very smart at 3 yrs, winning 3 times, notably handicap here and Group 3 at Goodwood. Failed to justify favouritism in the St Leger at Doncaster final start but was still a very respectable third (promoted to second). Off 9 months. Tongue strap on 1st time. Has 5 lb penalty.
Generally progressive; placed in last year's St Leger; 3-3 at Newmarket tracks; respected.
5
4th (5) Phantom Flight (5/1 +29%)
Phantom Flight

5
5/1(+29%)
(5) Phantom Flight 5/1, Progressive during his debut season in 2022, winning 3 times, and shaped well both starts this season, taking a while to get to grips with the track when third of 5 in listed race at Goodwood (9.9f, good to firm) 35 days ago, finishing with running left. Worth a go at this trip and not dismissed.
Pedigree suggests this new trip will eke out further improvement from him; interesting.

5th (2) Al Aasy (2.25/1 +0%)

2.25/1(+0%)
(2) Al Aasy 2.25/1, Very talented but is no battler, as shown when edged out in Coronation Cup at Epsom and Group 2 over C&D in 2021. Resumed winning ways back down in class in listed race at Ascot sole start last year. Off 14 months but goes well fresh and looks the pick on these terms.
Classy at his best; Listed winner when last seen 14 months ago; leading contender on form.
LTO Selection:

13:15 Newmarket Listed (Class 1) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Al Aasy has some questions to answer on his return from a long break, but he was last seen taking a Listed event at Ascot in May last year and he is more than capable on his day. However, NEW LONDON just shades the vote after filling the runner-up spot in last year's St Leger at Doncaster. He has looked the type that would improve as a four-year-old, which will make him tough to beat. Phantom Flight can beat Kemari and Outbox home for third, as he shaped as if a step up to this trip could bring about improvement last time.

A small field but a strong race for the grade, returning pair AL AASY and New London very smart on their day, the former shading the vote in receipt of 2 lb.

Seasonal debutants New London and Al Aasy are respected on form. PHANTOM FLIGHT and Kemari are interesting at bigger odds.

Untested at the trip but in good form & trainer is a dab hand with stayers; not ruled out.

2-2 here and could have more to offer over staying trips with the tongue-tie now back on.

Progressive 4yo who is 7-14 in handicaps; major player if seeing out this new trip.

(3) Winterwatch 40/1, Made a winning return to action over 2m at Kempton last year. Disappointed at Galway next time but quickly back on track when twice a runner-up over hurdles thereafter. Possibly needed the outing last month and heads significantly back up in trip.
Well beaten on his last two Flat starts so arrives with questions to answer.
5

Hadrianus

6

Finished much further behind that rival in Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot (14.2f, good) 10 days ago and handicapper taken no chances with his opening mark.
Faded in the 1m6f Queen's Vase last week but this 3yo is not written off on handicap debut.
13

(13) Blow Your Horn 3/1, Arrives on a 4-timer after completing a hat-trick with wins at Doncaster (14f), Beverley (2m) and Pontefract (18f, good) last month. Must shoulder a 7 lb penalty, but that may not be enough to anchor him in his current vein of form.

Won two in a row over 2m, then slowly run 1m5f was against him; not discounted.

Won over 2m on AW last November but others are more compelling than this Irish challenger.
LTO Selection:

13:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 2) 16f Race Class Flow

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

A longer trip looks worth exploring for APPIER, who was eased towards the finish when scoring by a length and three-quarters over 1m4f at Lingfield last month. A 5lb penalty leaves him 2lb well-in and he can capitalise. Hadrianus attempts to take advantage of a drop in grade after struggling in the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot last week and is feared most, although the four-timer seeking Blow Your Horn is a big player under his penalty.

As is usually the case, this is a very competitive consolation race and BLOW YOUR HORN is selected bring up the 4-timer under a penalty having been faultless on the turf in June. Citizen General has returned an improved model this year, so Ed Dunlop's 4-y-o could be the one to give the selection most to think about, while Appier and Mostly Sunny are another couple who may well have a say in proceedings.

It is hard to look beyond BLOW YOUR HORN (nap), who is well treated under a penalty having comfortably completed a hat-trick last Sunday

13:40 Curragh Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

School Of Law showed the experience he gained from breezing when filling the runner-up berth over C&D, with Huxley slightly unfortunate further back, while Instant Appeal occupied the same position on his introduction, chasing home an impressive winner at Leopardstown. There is no substitute for actual race experience, but CITY OF TROY is an impeccably-bred newcomer from Ballydoyle and is fancied to strike at the first time of asking. Expensive Frankel colt Rapid Mission and Auguste Lumiere are other first-timers to consider.

This promises to prove an informative maiden and it could be worth chancing Donnacha O'Brien's HUXLEY. He shaped much better than the bare result in a C&D maiden on debut 24 days ago, denied a run over 1f out and noted finishing with running left and rates the type to improve significantly. Newcomer City of Troy is just one noteworthy newcomer, with School of Law and Slurricane others worth a look.

Only one runner for Ballydoyle here and the hint is worth taking. The superbly-bred CITY OF TROY may be tested by School Of Law

LTO Selection:

13:50 Newmarket Group 3 (Class 1) 7f Race Class Flow

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

ALDAARY is unbeaten in his last three starts, with the latest of those victories coming at Haydock in a Listed contest in May last year. That performance earned him a rating of 116 and he looks the one to beat. Pogo took this race 12 months ago and will find this a lot easier than the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot last time, so he has to be considered, along with the recent John Of Gaunt victor Jumbly, who has William Buick booked.

Only six runners but not the easiest Group 3 to assess. ALDAARY was firmly on the up when last seen out so is taken to defy his long absence and extend his winning sequence to four for his in-form handler. Jumby has his fitness proven so is feared most on the back of a recent success in Haydock's John of Gaunt Stakes, while last year's winner Pogo can't be discounted despite failing to fire so far this term.

Aldaary holds leading claims granted ground softer than good. However, at bigger odds the suggestion is AUDIENCE.

LTO Selection:

13:57 Chester Maiden (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

LIV MY LIFE was well held in a very competitive event at Salisbury last time but her previous form suggests that she could be successful in a race of this nature. Etoile D'alexandre displayed plenty of promise on her debut at York last month and she could prove to be the main threat to the selection. Others to consider are Si Si Senor and Riverview Law.

There was plenty to like about ETOLIE D'ALEXANDRE's opening effort at York and she can strike at the second time of asking. Indication Spirit showed up well on last week's Hamilton debut and may give the selection most to do ahead of fellow Nick Bradley runner Riverview Law.

Declan Carroll won this race 12 months and might do so again with ETOILE D'ALEXANDRE, who shaped promisingly on her York debut.

LTO Selection:

14:05 Newcastle Handicap (Class 2) 16f Race Class Flow

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

ZOFFEE is only 2lb higher than when a neck second in the Chester Cup and he confirmed his well-being with an encouraging effort at Royal Ascot subsequently. The seven-year-old won the consolation race for this event 12 months ago and another good run can be expected. Calling The Wind finished in front of the selection when runner-up in the Ascot Stakes so cannot be discounted. Post Impressionist and Adjuvant are progressive four-year-olds who have to be of interest, while Law Of The Sea and Nathanael Greene complete the shortlist.

William Haggas' low-mileage 4-y-o POST IMPRESSIONIST signed off for 2022 with an emphatic York success and can take another sizeable step forward on his first go over 2m to claim his biggest prize yet. Sir Mark Prescott's returning Omniscient is another unexposed stayer going the right way and he rates a big threat, while Cesarewitch runner-up Vino Victrix is weighted to have a say if building on his Chester Cup eleventh. Adjuvant and Nathanael Greene complete the shortlist in a cracking Plate.

The high draw may complicate matters for Good Show, who is therefore second choice behind the in-form stayer LAW OF THE SEA.

Six-race maiden whose struggles have continued in three handicaps (1m/7f/1m2f).
LTO Selection:

14:10 Windsor Handicap (Class 6) 11f Race Class Flow

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

WHO LOVES YOU BABY made a pleasing start to her handicap career when she was a clear second over 1m2f at Yarmouth, and she looks primed to offer a bold bid. John Ryan's runner has been raised 2lb in the ratings for that effort and that may prove lenient. Manxman has shown very little in his career to date but he may step up on his handicap bow, while Dee's Dream is another to note.

WHO LOVES YOU BABY showed much-improved form when just touched off on handicap debut at Yarmouth 3 days ago (nicely on top of the remainder) and she earns the vote to come out on top stepping up in trip. Manxman is far from living up to his pedigree but this longer trip could help now handicapping from a basement mark. Foinix can also feature.

Hardly the most exhilarating of starts to the card and recent Yarmouth runner-up WHO LOVES YOU BABY picks herself.

LTO Selection:

14:15 Curragh Group 2 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Aidan O'Brien has won six of the last 10 renewals and MATRIKA can provide him with another success. The daughter of No Nay Never was denied victory in the Albany by just a length at the Royal meeting and she could be a class above her rivals here. Grand Job was beaten less than a length into second by the selection over C&D on debut so has to be feared, while Launch may have struggled in the Queen Mary but her previous third in a Naas Group 3 over this trip earns her a place on the shortlist.

Something of a mixed bag for this Group 2 and MATRIKA looks very much the way to go here on the back of her fine Albany Stakes second at Royal Ascot. Both Grand Job and Gunzburg look to have better days ahead of them and can chase home Aidan O'Brien's exciting No Nay Never filly in that order.

Albany Stakes runner-up MATRIKA has had only eight days to recover but will be a short price to confirm debut form with Grand Job

LTO Selection:

14:25 Newmarket Maiden (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

This could be dominated by the two Charlie Appleby-trained newcomers, with preference for DANCE SEQUENCE, who is the pick of William Buick. The daughter of Dubawi may be bred to excel over further in time, but this appeals as a good starting point. Race The Wind is also well bred and catches the eye. Upscale is the first foal out of Fred Darling winner Dandhu and she has to be of some interest. Crocus Time appeals most of those with experience after a promising third at Thirsk last month.

The pair with racecourse experience don't set a tall standard, so DANCE SEQUENCE is selected to make a winning start for the Appleby/Buick combination who will hope to leave what can only be described as an underwhelming June behind. Stablemate Race The Wind may emerge as the main danger, ahead of Upscale, but the market will no doubt provide plenty clues.

The Appleby fillies are hard to split on paper, regardless of riding arrangements. UPSCALE, for the Balding yard, is the suggestion.

In good hands but has regressed since his debut; needs to get back on track now h'capping.
LTO Selection:

14:32 Chester Handicap (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Natchez Trace has to be respected following his win at Southwell, but marginal preference is for SCINTILLANTE. Andrew Balding's colt put in a career best when second on his handicap debut at Newbury two weeks ago and he remains open to further progression. Restorer has made the frame on his last couple of starts and could do so once again, while similar comments apply to Croachill.

SCINTILLANTE shaped promisingly at Newbury last time and might be up to providing Andrew Balding with yet another Chester winner. Zealandia looked on the way back here last time and may give the selection most to do ahead of recent Southwell scorer Natchez Trace.

The one who stands out is SCINTILLANTE (nap) who could have more to offer on the back of his encouraging handicap debut at Newbury.

LTO Selection:

14:40 Newcastle Handicap (Class 2) 7f Race Class Flow

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

ZIP was well held at Ascot last time but his previous form on the all-weather was very encouraging and he's only 1lb higher than when winning at Southwell in February. Air To Air is closely matched with the selection based on their meeting over C&D in January and he should not be discounted. Safe Voyage edges out Adeb and Wobwobwob to be best of the rest.

Perhaps former C&D scorer SAFE VOYAGE can roll back the years and resume winning ways on the back of a pair of good efforts in highly competitive handicaps on turf in May. Three-time C&D winner Zip was better than the result in the Victoria Cup at Ascot last time and can bounce back to form and provide the chief threat ahead of Wobwobwob, whose trainer Adrian Keatley has had his string in excellent form lately.

The veteran SAFE VOYAGE has run creditably in competitive turf handicaps on his last two starts and is taken to return to winning ways.

LTO Selection:

14:45 Windsor Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

MACANUDO made a very pleasing start to his career when fourth on his racecourse debut over 7f at Haydock, and this looks like a nice opportunity to shed his maiden tag. Richard Hannon's runner didn't quite last home over the stiff 7f and this drop in trip is a big plus. Mercian Warrior ranks best of the debutants and he's one to take seriously, while Chiedozie also appears likely to improve for his debut effort.

CHIEDOZIE shaped much better than the bare result when mid-field in a C&D novice on debut last month, a big move to get into contention taking its toll late on, and this close relation of the stable's top-class sprinter Battaash can find the required improvement. Shagraan is another open to significant progress having shaped similarly in a decent Haydock maiden so is feared most ahead of Macanudo, who should be suited by the shorter trip given how he shaped first time up.

Macanudo holds obvious appeal but CHIEDOZIE ran okay here first time out from an awkward track position.

LTO Selection:

14:50 Curragh Handicap 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

APACHE OUTLAW ran on well when beaten less than a length into fourth over 5f at this venue. This step up in trip is likely to be a positive and having been dropped 1lb, Joseph O'Brien's colt appears primed to offer a bold bid. Iva Batt will be dangerous based on the form of her penultimate effort, when second over C&D. Coumshingaun is also entitled to respect, with Dandyville and Parting Glass a couple more to take seriously.

APACHE OUTLAW shaped well on his 5f course handicap debut and should have more to offer back up at 6f so he might prove the answer to this competitive handicap. Second choice is Gordon Bennett who did so well in handicaps in the second half of last year and should be nicely primed for this after his Fairyhouse reappearance 3 weeks ago. The shortlist is completed by last year's winner Coumshingaun, who arrives on the back of 3 creditable placed efforts.

Group 2-placed at two and holding smart entries for later in the year APACHE OUTLAW may score here with the help of a 7lb allowance.

Not up to the Princess Margaret at Ascot a month later but shaped well when second in 7f Haydock handicap on her reappearance 3 weeks ago. 1m should suit and there's surely more to come from this lightly-raced filly.

Lightly raced; performed well at Ascot on handicap/seasonal debut; possibilities.
LTO Selection:

15:00 Newmarket Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Runner-up on both starts this season in races where the form has worked out very well, RAJINDRI deserves a change in luck and she may get it on this occasion. A mark of 78 on her handicap debut could underestimate Tom Clover's charge and she gets the vote ahead of the unexposed Royal Charter, as well as One Morning, who was an eye-catcher when awkwardly away at Ascot before running on late for fourth.

An interesting fillies' handicap. ROYAL CHARTER is selected to build on her promising handicap debut/reappearance run at Haydock with the step up to 1m likely to suit. One Morning shaped well in an Ascot handicap on her reappearance and should have more to offer so she's second choice. The unbeaten Dora Milaje and recent Newbury scorer Chealamy are others likely to have a say.

The vote goes to ROYAL CHARTER (nap), a course winner who should do better still. One Morning is second choice.

Chasing hat-trick after 6f wins at Wolverhampton & Hamilton; lower draw preferable.
LTO Selection:

15:07 Chester Handicap (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow

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

WHENTHEDEALINSDONE was only narrowly denied over 5f at Windsor last time and Roger Teal's five-year-old could be hard to stop off the same mark here. Hyperfocus is an obvious threat off just a 2lb higher rating than when winning at Ripon in April. A case can be made for all of the remaining field, but Aberama Gold and Cuban Breeze are arguably the pick of them.

Little between the principals in a useful sprint but ABERAMA GOLD arrives at the top of his game and with his Hamilton success having been franked so edges the vote. Whenthedealinsdone has slipped to a handy mark so is feared most having got back on track at Windsor last time. Hello Zabeel is another who can't be taken lightly in his bid for a third success since joining Charlie Fellowes and Ripon scorer Hyperfocus completes the shortlist.

Roman Dragon and CUBAN BREEZE may be the two to focus on and the latter can get off the mark for the year.

LTO Selection:

15:15 Newcastle Stakes (Class 3) 5f Race Class Flow

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

BATAL ZABEEL put in a promising display when third on his debut at York in May and Kevin Ryan's colt could be hard to stop with the benefit of that experience. Markakol failed to reward favourite-backers on his racecourse bow at Sandown but it is far too soon to be writing him off. Stanley Spencer is closely related to some high-class performers, including last year's Flying Childers winner Trillium, and is the pick of the newcomers.

MARKAKOL was too green to do himself justice at Sandown 2 weeks ago, but he's evidently held in high regard so is worth another chance in what looks an ordinary novice. Batal Zabeel fared best of the newcomers when third at York and is the obvious threat, with Stanley Spencer making the most appeal of the newcomers before market clues.

Batal Zabeel is feared but MARKAKOL is chanced in the hope he can leave his Sandown form behind him now he's hooded.

LTO Selection:

15:20 Windsor Stakes (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Alsakib has a bright future and may well go on to eclipse May's success at Chester. However, there was something of a collapse in pace that day and he benefitted most from the way that race panned out. With that in mind, it may be worth siding with ELNAJMM, who ran green on debut at Kempton but left a favourable impression by staying on strongly near the finish. Fakhra and Jimmy Frankham also command attention.

ELNAJMM showed plenty to work on when runner-up behind a useful sort on debut at Kempton late last year and, with progress on the cards, he can build on that now and come out on top upped in trip. Jimmy Frankham and Alsakib are similarly improving types and feared, along with the returning Zodiac Star.

This has the look of a decent novice but the suggestion is JIMMY FRANKHAM after a highly encouraging run at Salisbury.

15:25 Curragh Group 1 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A fascinating contest, with quality running right through the field. Above The Curve and TREVAUNANCE renew rivalries after they encountered each other in the Mooresbridge Stakes on reappearance here in May. The latter fared slightly better of the two on that occasion and, returning to her own sex after a tough ask in the Tattersalls Gold Cup subsequently, Jessica Harrington's filly is worth chancing. Never Ending Story is also a must for consideration, with the improving Via Sistina respected too.

George Boughey's VIA SISTINA sets the bar high on the form of her easy Dahlia Stakes success at Newmarket last time and can fend off the home challengers, headed by Saint Cloud winner Above The Curve and Irish 1000 Guiness third Comhra.

It is telling that Ryan Moore rides ABOVE THE CURVE for the Coolmore team in preference to the Classic-placed Never Ending Story

LTO Selection:

15:35 Newmarket Handicap (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

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

SPRING FEVER got off the mark on her handicap debut at Redcar before filling the runner-up spot on her latest outing at Salisbury. She has gone up a combined total of 11lb for both of those efforts and there is every chance she can progress further on her first attempt over 1m4f. D Day Arvalenreeva went up 4lb for her first victory at Leicester and is open to more improvement, while Aiming High is capable of better following a below-par effort at Goodwood.

SPRING FEVER is firmly on the up and another step up in distance will probably draw further progress out of her, so she's preferred to D Day Arvalenreeva, who is also going the right way. Saisissante is probably the pick of the others.

Saisissante and Spring Fever step up from 1m2f with a chance but preference is for 1m4f winner D DAY ARVALENREEVA.

LTO Selection:

15:42 Chester Handicap (Class 2) 7f Race Class Flow

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

EQUATORIAL makes his handicap debut following an eyecatching performance when breaking his maiden at Salisbury last month. He kept on to score by four and a half lengths and left the impression there could be more to come. He gets the nod from Ararat, who has gone up 3lb for last week's success at Newmarket, while the grade-dropping Misty Blues rounds out the shortlist following a fair fifth in Redcar's Two Year Old Trophy on her final start of 2022.

A good 3-y-o handicap. ARARAT seemed suited to more positive tactics when getting off the mark in a 7f Newmarket handicap last weekend and might have got off lightly with a 3 lb rise. Equatorial should have more to offer on the back of his Salisbury novice win and is second choice ahead of Divine Libra.

Ararat should go well again but preference is for DIVINE LIBRA, who shaped well on his Newmarket handicap debut.

Did it very readily at Doncaster and a 6lb rise could underestimate his dominance.
LTO Selection:

15:50 Newcastle Handicap (Class 3) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Several have decent chances and the likes of Cockalorum, who has been placed twice from three starts at this circuit, and Innse Gall, who has also proven to be effective on the Tapeta here, are not to be underestimated. However, PERSIST makes most appeal as she was really consistent last year and shaped well off this mark in a deeper race at Newmarket last October.

SHIMMERING SANDS ran out an easy winner at Doncaster and can follow up if proving as good on tapeta. Qaasid is feared most, ahead of Cockalorum.

A 6lb rise may not be enough to stop SHIMMERING SANDS following his very cosy win at Doncaster last time and he can follow up.

In peak form at end of 2022 and has finished closer in each of his three runs this term.
LTO Selection:

15:55 Windsor Handicap (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow

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

PEACE OF MINE possibly paid the price for going off too quickly when she failed to give her running at Ascot in May and, given she had previously looked progressive, she may be worth another chance here. As a three-year-old filly, she is favoured by the weights and dropping her back in trip looks a good move. Farasi Lane and Snapcracklepop both have respectable form at this circuit and are feared most.

SNAPCRACKLEPOP fared best of those held up when third in a Kempton handicap (1m) 17 days ago and, back on turf, he shades the vote to confirm his mark a workable one. Farasi Lane heads up the dangers, ahead of Sudden Ambush.

Here's hoping there's sufficient pace on for FARASI LANE to deliver a telling blow. He's on a fair mark and returns to his best trip.

LTO Selection:

16:00 Curragh Group 3 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

AL RIFFA readily accounted for some high-class rivals when taking the Group 1 National Stakes here on his final start as a two-year-old. The son of Wootton Bassett could be hard to stop if reproducing that level of form on his return. That said, Alfred Munnings looked to have a bright future when winning on debut last season and he should not be underestimated. Layfayette rarely runs poorly at this level and is another to note.

Provided he's ready to roll for this belated seasonal reappearance AL RIFFA will take plenty of stopping. He looked an exciting prospect when coming from last to first to land the Group 1 National Stakes over 7f here on his final 2-y-o start and bring plenty of potential for middle distances this season. The consistent Layfayette regained the winning thread at Limerick recently and is second choice ahead of the progressive Mashhoor.

This should be all about last year's top juvenile AL RIFFA on a slightly belated debut with this trip likely to be in his favour

Unexposed sort who made an encouraging handicap debut at Bath two months ago.
LTO Selection:

16:10 Newmarket Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

ZARA'S RETURN produced a career-best performance when tackling this distance for the first time at Sandown last month and the daughter of Zarak could well have more to offer, despite a 7lb rise from the handicapper. Serengeti Sunset was runner-up in the aforementioned contest and meets the selection on 6lb better terms, while Dog Fox has improved since being stepped up in trip, having already won twice this season, and he completes the shortlist.

The vote in this competitive handicap goes to V TWELVE, who was successful at Windsor off 1 lb higher on his sole previous start over this trip and, judged on this season's efforts at around 1½m, dropping back to this distance could be just the ticket. Despite his odds-on failure when bidding for the hat-trick last time, Dog Fox remains of interest and is second choice ahead of recent Ripon winner Blueflagflyinghigh. Sandown 1-2 Zara's Return and Serengeti Sunset need considering, too.

Several runners are appealing. Narrow first choice is V TWELVE, ahead of Blueflagflyinghigh then Niarbyl Bay.

LTO Selection:

16:17 Chester Stakes (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Only narrowly denied on the all-weather when last seen in February 2022, PARLANDO rates the one to beat on his comeback. A game winner at Leicester on his racecourse debut in October 2021, the son of Dubawi was bought out of the Charlie Appleby yard for 105,000 pounds earlier this year and he can get the better of O G Beachwear, who finished a fair fourth over C&D in May. The unraced Many A Year completes the shortlist.

MANY A YEAR has an appealing pedigree and his stable isn't averse to debut winners, so he's worth taking a chance on even if it's taken him a while to reach the track. Parlando is an obvious danger if the market vibes are positive after 16 months off and Princess Niyla can't be ruled out.

Maremma should go well but O G BEACHWEAR can confirm the promise of her C&D fourth five weeks ago.

LTO Selection:

16:25 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

LEXINGTON KNIGHT has held his form lately and, off just 3lb higher than last month's Doncaster success, he is a strong fancy to cope with top weight in this company. Richard Hannon's gelding has been admirably consistent since being fitted with a tongue-tie and this looks well within his reach given the resurgent form posted this season. Billy Bathgate and The Dancing Poet both get plenty of weight from the selection and may give him the most to think about.

LEXINGTON KNIGHT remains on a workable mark raised only 1 lb for his very good Thirsk second so is fancied to quickly resume winning ways at the chief expense of Billy Bathgate who could now build on his breakthrough Ayr success. In-form pair Golden Vintage and The Dancing Poet complete the shortlist.

Not many of these appeal. The consistent topweight LEXINGTON KNIGHT arrives in fine form and is preferred over The Dancing Poet.

Good for Godolphin but was sold on for £100,000; tailed off on stable debut.
LTO Selection:

16:30 Windsor Handicap (Class 2) 11f Race Class Flow

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

Educator was only narrowly denied over 1m4f at Kempton last month and the gelded son of Deep Impact left the impression there would be more to come. However, it could pay to side with CITY STREAK, who arrives in this following a creditable second over 1m2f at Redcar in May. He has gone up 1lb for that which may not be enough to hold him back. Youthful King is another to bear in mind.

EDUCATOR arrives on the back of a very eye-catching run at Kempton 24 days ago, conceding first run/not clear run but ultimately finishing off well to finish second. He shades the vote to confirm his mark a workable one back on turf. Zetland Gold Cup runner-up City Streak may well emerge as the chief threat back up in trip, with last year's and recent C&D winner The Whipmaster also in the mix.

A good handicap. Educator has to be feared but CITY STREAK (nap) ran really well at Redcar last time and that looks strong form.

LTO Selection:

16:35 Curragh Handicap 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Goodie Two Shoes makes plenty of appeal on her return to the Flat, with her last appearance in this sphere seeing her finish down the field in a Listed contest at Leopardstown. Her stable companion Dancing Tango ran out a comfortable winner at Fairyhouse and the winning margin may well have underestimated the authority of that success. The vote, though, goes to LORD VADER. He caught the eye on his second start for Emmet Mullins when fourth at Limerick in April and the extra couple of furlongs appear likely to see him take another step forward.

GOODIE TWO SHOES looked a good prospect in winning her first two starts last year before running respectably up in grade. She hasn't come up to expectations over hurdles since but looks well worth a chance to get back on track returned to the level with Rachael Blackmore on board. Stablemate Dancing Tango looks the chief danger and Lord Vader is worthy of interest up in trip.

There was a lot to like about the return effort of DRACO PULCHRAC over 1m at Leopardstown. She could be the answer

LTO Selection:

16:52 Chester Handicap (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

MALAKAHNA didn't enjoy much luck in running when third over C&D last month, but is worth another chance off the same mark. The Ian Williams-trained mare has been consistent when tried on the Flat and, given the ground conditions shouldn't present any problems, there are solid foundations to expect a bold effort. C&D winner Military Two Step is feared most, although El Borracho and Tigerten, a former stablemate of the selection, are also respected.

MILITARY TWO STEP is on an appealing mark and arrives on the back of a creditable effort, so she's taken to notch up another C&D win under a rider who excels at this track. El Borracho is a big danger and Malakhana can't be ignored.

The two suggestions against the field are MALAKAHNA and Buxted Reel who both represent last year's winning yard.

2.5/1(+17%)
(7) Ferrous 2.5/1, 7/2, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Goodwood (5f, good to firm) 35 days ago, keeping on well. Remains unexposed at the minimum trip and he's of interest again from 5 lb higher.
5lb higher than at Goodwood but he's a lightly raced sprinter on the upgrade.

Spring Bloom

8/1(-23%)
(2) Spring Bloom 8/1, Dual C&D winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Newmarket in May. 20/1, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Epsom (6f, good to firm) 28 days ago, uncomfortable with pace and never involved. Likely type to bounce back.
Slow start did for him last time at Epsom (6f) but 5f is more his bag; well drawn.

Consistent during his losing sequence but his mark hasn't really moved anywhere.
LTO Selection:

17:05 Windsor Handicap (Class 3) 5f Race Class Flow

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

FERROUS appreciated a drop in class when scoring at Goodwood on his latest start and Jack Channon's inmate rates the one to beat off 5lb higher. He finished a creditable third in deeper waters at Newmarket on his penultimate run and further progression cannot be ruled out. Isle Of Lismore has been knocking on the door of late and can give the selection plenty to think about, while Swayze is another to consider.

A comfortable winner on his penultimate start at Haydock, SWAYZE may have found underfoot conditions against him over C&D on his latest start 3 weeks ago. The return to this forecast quicker ground rates a plus here and a better showing can be anticipated. Goodwood-scorer Ferrous and Spring Bloom head up the dangers, along with Isle of Lismore.

An open sprint. FERROUS is a lightly raced sprinter heading in the right direction and his recent form stacks up well.

LTO Selection:

17:10 Curragh Maiden 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

EXPELLIARMUS was a massive eye-catcher on her first start of the season at Navan over 1m2f, as she made her way through the field late to claim third in highly-promising display. She could progress again for that run and could be the one to side with in this contest. The main threat might be Space Age, who steps up to a mile after being denied by a neck in second at this track over 7f last time and should be involved again, while Neowise could put her latest effort behind her to have a say.

EXPELLIARMUS improved markedly from her debut and was better than the result when third in a Navan maiden last time, so she's a confident choice to open her account at the likely expense of Space Age. Pittsford is likely to benefit from his initial experience at this course, so he's expected to get closer this time.

One that could be capable of plenty of improvement after an eye-catching run here last time is PITTSFORD and he could go close

Has good pedigree and looks possible improver up in trip on handicap debut; market useful.
LTO Selection:

17:30 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Philos arrives here seeking a hat-trick after wins at Wolverhampton and, most recently, over C&D. Another bold bid can be expected, but he has been given another 4lb rise in the ratings for that half-length success which may leave him susceptible to some better treated rivals, such as MYSTERIOUS MAESTRO. Simon and Ed Crisford's charge ran on strongly last time over 1m2f at this venue where he was beaten just two lengths and this step up in trip is likely to suit. Robusto completes the shortlist.

Several with sound claims, though MYSTERIOUS MAESTRO perhaps makes most appeal, with the Crisford's gelding appearing to now be gradually getting the hang of things. Robusto failed to immediately progress at Caterick last time but is given another chance to improve, whilst hat-trick seeking Philos and handicap-debutante Surge are others that merit serious consideration.

Hat-trick seeker Philos is respected but MYSTERIOUS MAESTRO gets the vote after his eyecatching effort here last time.

LTO Selection:

17:40 Curragh Handicap 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A tricky staying handicap puzzle for punters to solve, but there was a lot to like about the way ALMUHIT stayed on well for a close second over 1m6f here when he had Sheishybrid (fourth) and Firstman (sixth) in arrears. Off the same mark, and with the extra yardage helping, Denis Hogan's gelding is just preferred to Foveros, a C&D winner who looks feasibly treated on his return from a layoff for last year's winning trainer. Willie Mullins also saddles the lightly-raced Immelmann, who is open to any amount of improvement now stepped up markedly in trip, while last-time-out Killarney scorer Grappa Nonino warrants respect for the yard that won this in 2020 and 2021.

The lightly-raced IMMELMANN is a fascinating contender on debut for the Willie Mullins yard over this new trip. He showed plenty of ability in a handful of appearances at up to 11.5f for the Crisfords in Britain, his mark for this handicap debut looks a fair one and while a 616-day absence would usually be off-putting, Mullins is a pastmaster at getting one ready on the back of a lengthy layoff. Newfoundland, who sports first-time cheekpieces, is feared most ahead of Almuhit and Extensio.

The vote goes to EXTENSIO, winner of the Ladies Derby last year and handled the step up in trip well at Leopardstown last time

(10) Gasman 5.5/1, Formerly trained by Seamus Durack, ran respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Salisbury (9.9f, good to soft, 5/2) on stable debut in May. Ran too badly to be true at Bath last time, so worth market check with tongue strap back on.

C&D winner but her progress has stalled and she needs to find more back on AW.
LTO Selection:

18:05 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

OPTIK has been running consistently well of late, finishing second in each of his last three starts, and this looks like a good opportunity for him to go one better off the same mark. Platinum Prince is fancied to offer the sternest resistance after not much going his way last time over 1m3f at Kempton, while Handel is another to note.

The highest-drawn pair make most appeal here, with the three-year-old THIRD BATCH fancied to build on a couple of promising placed efforts to get off the mark. Handel is a long-standing maiden but is going through a good spell at present and should be in the mix, whilst Zebra Star produced her best effort for a while last time and is potentially well treated if able to build on that.

The suggestion is ZEBRA STAR, who did well to snatch third over C&D last week after being forced very wide around the final turn.

LTO Selection:

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

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

QUEEN'S COMPANY went in by a length and a half last time at Yarmouth in a class 6 event, for which she now operates off 4lb higher. That rise may not be enough to prevent the four-year-old from going in once more. Bollin Margaret heads the list of dangers in her current mood, as she has been a model of consistency this season, while Sid's Annie can go well if transferring her good all-weather form to the turf.

MOGWAI failed to build on the promise of her British debut when only fourth at Nottingham last month but, with this step up in trip a potentially good move, she is given another chance. The consistent Bollin Margaret is likely to be in the thick of things once again, while Queen's Company is also high on the shortlist having produced a career-best when scoring on her first attempt over this trip at Yarmouth.

Evidently well suited by the step up to 1m2f when winning at Yarmouth last month, QUEEN'S COMPANY is taken to overcome a 4lb rise.

LTO Selection:

18:40 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

DARK GOLD hasn't done a great deal in his career to date, but he makes his handicap debut and must be taken very seriously for Sir Mark Prescott. An opening mark of 61 looks more than workable and it would be no surprise were he to feature, especially following wind surgery. Last-time-out winner Star Of Epsom is likely to be the biggest danger after scoring over C&D last month, but she may be in the grip of the handicapper, while Pink Lily should also be on the scene.

PINK LILY has done well so far this season, just finding the step up in grade beyond her at Goodwood last time, but she should be more at home in these calmer waters and sets a decent standard with a good claimer aboard. Star of Epsom has a positive C&D record and should make a bold bid to follow up her recent success here, whilst Dark Gold could well be a typical Sir Mark Prescott handicap improver and merits a serious market check.

The vote goes to STAR OF EPSOM, who made it 3-3 over C&D with her strong-finishing win 12 days ago. Dark Gold is feared most.

LTO Selection:

18:55 Doncaster Maiden (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Kokomo attempted to make all of the running last time at Newbury over 7f, but weakened to finish eighth. With that in mind, the drop in distance could prove a positive move. However, the vote goes to KAIDU, who showed much more on his latest outing to fill the runner-up spot over C&D, and the son of Profitable can take this with normal progression. Any market support for 160,000gns purchase Operation Gimcrack should be noted.

Bryan Smart can ready one first time out and saddles an intriguing newcomer here in OPERATION GIMCRACK, who fetched 160,000 gns yearling. This is a realistic starting point and the hint should be taken if the market speaks in his favour. Kaidu left his debut effort well behind when runner-up over C&D and he is feared most ahead of Kokomo and Bugle Beads.

Brian O'Rourke's KOKOMO did not get home after tanking her way through a warm 7f Newbury novice six weeks ago but this race is easier.

LTO Selection:

19:15 Lingfield Stakes (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Graceful Thunder has obvious claims back at this sort of level after finishing down the field in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot 10 days ago. However, the form of her previous Sandown success has taken a few subsequent knocks and she may be worth taking on with QUEUES LIKELY. She got off the mark at the third attempt at Windsor and the daughter of Massaat appears to have further improvement to come. Dapperling has shown consistency and is next on the shortlist.

A decent novice contest, with DAPPERLING taken to get off the mark at the fifth attempt having shown a fair level of form in defeat at Bath on her last 2 outings. Graceful Thunder found Royal Ascot too much of an ask but could build on her debut success back in more realistic company, with Windsor maiden winner Queues Likely also meriting plenty of respect.

George Boughey's GRACEFUL THUNDER ran well for a long way in the Queen Mary last week and gets the vote back in much calmer waters.

LTO Selection:

19:30 Doncaster Maiden (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Tokyo Dreamer sets a solid standard with a rating of 70 and she ran well to finish third at Lingfield over this trip, so she is likely to be on the premises once more. It could be worth siding with SHE WORE NO JEWELS, who showed plenty of promise on debut to hit the frame at Goodwood over 6f and could improve for this step up in trip. Alshinfarah is related to Group 2 winner Raabihah and she warrants a market check.

SHE WORE NO JEWELS shaped well amidst greenness when third at Goodwood on debut and, with improvement likely, he gets the nod ahead of Alshinfarah, who looks a notable newcomer for an excellent stable. China Trade also has potential.

Clive Cox's SHE WORE NO JEWELS shaped as though today's extra furlong will be in her favour when third on her Goodwood debut.

LTO Selection:

19:45 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

REGAL ENVOY arrives on the back of a solid effort when second to an in-form rival at Bath on Wednesday and he has every chance of going one place better, despite a quick turnaround. Eeh Bah Gum is dangerous to underestimate on his debut for Ivan Furtado, while Harb is a speedy individual that looks a prime candidate for setting a solid tempo. Any support in the betting for Song Of Success would also be noteworthy.

Having dropped in the weights, REGAL ENVOY produced his best effort of the season when runner-up at Bath 3 days ago and he can go one better turned out again quickly. Song of Success could be the biggest threat making only her third start for her current yard, with Harb the pick of the remainder.

Regal Envoy and Song Of Success can go well but HARB can return to top form under conditions that suit.

(1) Solar Orbiter 1.1/1, Impressive winner of first two starts. Second of 10 in handicap at Kempton (7f, evens) 38 days ago, no match for winner. Remains a useful prospect and should regain the winning thread if fully effective on turf.
Won last September on first two runs & good second on return; open to further improvement.
LTO Selection:

20:00 Doncaster Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

SOLAR ORBITER may just have needed his first run of the season when runner-up at Kempton in May and Roger Varian's colt is expected to improve from that display making his debut on turf. Snash ran with credit to finish fourth at York on his latest effort and is capable of a decent showing in a first-time visor, while Riot and Mudamer complete the shortlist.

SOLAR ORBITER looked a good prospect in winning his first two starts and didn't lose much in defeat when runner-up on handicap debut at Kempton last time. He's fancied to resume progress and score at the likely expense of Mudamer, who is well handicapped and showing positive signs for his new stable. Snash is another one to consider.

The very lightly raced 4yo SOLAR ORBITER is open to further improvement for Roger Varian and is taken to make it 3-4.

Dual 7f winner for this yard in 2022; just below latest winning mark; has good run in him.
LTO Selection:

20:15 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

INVERINATE wasn't beaten far over C&D on his penultimate start and improved to break the maiden at Chelmsford last time out. A 3lb rise for that success could prove lenient and he gets the vote ahead of Amathus, who had Major Gatsby (second) narrowly behind over C&D on his most recent effort. Essme and Nibras Rainbow are entitled to be thereabouts as well.

Having finished runner-up over C&D at the beginning of June, INVERINATE opened his account at Chelmsford 5 days later and he can follow up with more still to offer. He can see off the challenge of a pair of C&D winners, with Amathus successful 19 days ago and Essme arriving on the back of placed efforts here on her last 2 starts.

Ajrad is respected but INVERINATE (nap) is the one who looks to have the most improvement in him after his recent AW win.

Finished last in two runs for this yard last year; lots to prove after a ten-month layoff.
LTO Selection:

20:30 Doncaster Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

TREACHEROUS scored on his penultimate outing at Newbury and wasn't disgraced when trying to back that performance up under a penalty at Windsor four days later. Mark Winn's 3lb claim on this occasion is likely to aid his cause and the nine-year-old gets the vote. Good Earth arrives in decent form and enters calculations, along with As If By Chance and Mattice.

GOOD EARTH has worked his way back to top form this year, beaten only by an improving type at York a fortnight ago, and he can resume winning ways in his current mood. The main danger could be Fantasy Maker, who can leave his latest run behind returned to less testing conditions, while Treacherous also merits consideration back down in grade.

Ghathanfar has been hinting that his turn is near but MATTICE shaped nicely at Beverley and can gain a second course success.

Inconsistent ten-race maiden and she comes with risks attached back up in trip.
LTO Selection:

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

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

Narrowly denied over further here last time out, SAN FRANCISCO BAY should be ideally suited to the drop in trip and Laura Coughlan's 3lb claim is another plus as he looks to make it two wins in his last three starts. Spirit Of Breeze is a key player for the in-form Gary Moore team, while Senor Pockets is another to consider off a dropping handicap mark.

DESERT ILLUSION is better judged on her previous placed efforts having been bumped at the start at Windsor 5 days ago, so she can resume her progress to get off the mark this time around. San Francisco Bay arrives in good form and is feared most with cheekpieces now applied, while Spirit of Breeze also merits consideration.

This can go to SAN FRANCISCO BAY, who went close in his bid for a double here last week and is a big player again on this drop to 6f.

LTO Selection:

21:00 Doncaster Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

DESERT VOICE progressed from her debut effort when getting off the mark at Yarmouth and the daughter of Invincible Spirit warrants plenty of respect on her handicap bow. Northern Spirit has been a model of consistency in recent months and the return to a flatter track after his recent third at Yarmouth can only benefit him. Others to note are Roaring Ralph and Concert Boy.

It probably wasn't the strongest of maidens that DESERT VOICE landed at Yarmouth recently but she did the job well enough to suggest that this opening mark should be within her reach, particularly with further progress on the cards. Concert Boy bounced back from his York no-show when hitting the crossbar at Haydock and he is accorded respect, along with Northern Spirit and Roaring Ralph.

The only filly in the field, DESERT VOICE (nap), displayed a good turn of foot inside the final furlong to assert at Yarmouth in June.

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.
