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

DANCING GYPSY failed to justify favouritism on his latest outing over C&D, but he still ran a race full of credit in third and he could improve for first-time cheekpieces to go two places better in this grade. Sameem could be thereabouts once more off a 1lb higher than when second at Hamilton last time, while Unplugged would be foolish to dismiss on the back of his success at Haydock.

Having looked an unlucky loser here in May, UNPLUGGED gained compensation with plenty to spare in a similar contest at Haydock 24 days ago and, with the drop back in trip holding no fears (previous C&D winner), he looks to hold sound claims from a 3 lb higher mark. Dancing Gypsy, Lenny's Spirit and Sameem head up the dangers.

The two runners who appeal most are UNPLUGGED and Dancing Gypsy in that order of preference.

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

WICK GREEN appeared rejuvenated by first-time cheekpieces when coasting home at Worcester in May and an 8lb rise may not prevent Ben Pauling's veteran from completing a double. Fairlawn Flyer may require a leap of faith to support currently, nevertheless, the seven-year-old is now 8lb below his last winning mark and is dangerous to discount, while Shetland Bus needs refitted blinkers to eke out some improvement.

WICK GREEN is thriving and this uncomplicated ride may well shrug off his latest rise in the weights. Tango Boy's profile is patchy but the assessor has been quick to lend a hand and he's dangerous if on a "going" day.

Although 8lb higher than when winning at Worcester WICK GREEN is taken to follow up by beating Tango Boy.

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

EMERALDS PRIDE has filled the runner-up spot the last twice, with the latest of those efforts coming at Thirsk, and she is only asked to compete off a 1lb higher mark which may not be enough to stop the daughter of Pride Of Dubai from going one better. The main danger is Glendown, who was only denied by a nose into second at Redcar over 6f on his latest outing, while J R Cavagin isn't ruled out either.

GLENDOWN went agonisingly close to shedding the maiden tag when reeled in late in the day by one who had tumbled down the weights at Redcar 9 days ago and with the return to 5f holding no fears, he can deservedly open his account. The Paul Midgley pair J R Cavagin and Sherdil are others fancied to feature, with So Grateful also worth a look despite a tricky draw.

Class-dropper J R CAVAGIN is running into form and can take advantage of a handy mark. Glendown is second choice.

Getaway Jewel gained a first success of the year over C&D last Monday, with a 7lb penalty unlikely to prevent another bold bid. However, a career-best performance will be required to supplement that victory and it may pay to take him on with ROCAMBOLAS. The six-year-old was still travelling well enough when falling three out at Market Rasen last month and looks to have a race of this nature in him. Going Mobile may appreciate this sharper track and is another to consider in a first-time visor.

GETAWAY JEWEL probably didn't beat a great deal over C&D last week but that confirms he's in good heart, which counts for a lot at this level. Rocambolas is tricky but capable of winning a race like this, with Duke of Luckley another to consider in a change of headgear.

Preference is for ROCAMBOLAS, who showed more than enough to suggest he can win off his current mark when second at Worcester in May.

The Camden Colt had Twilight Romance (third) behind him when victorious at Haydock in May, but the latter is the less exposed of the two and could have more to offer, so may reverse that form. However, they could be fighting it out for second behind BARG, who couldn't have been more impressive on his latest outing at Ripon where he struck by five and a half lengths.

TWILIGHT ROMANCE confirmed debut promise and marked himself down as a useful sprinting juvenile when landing a York maiden in good style 16 days ago. The type to improve again, he earns the vote to follow up, with facile Ripon winner Barg rating the chief threat.

This is a tight race on the bare figures. BARG gets the percentage call, ahead of Twilight Romance.

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

ABSOLUTE RULER was a little disappointing in a novice hurdle here last week, but this selling contest demands less of Jennie Candlish's inmate and he's fancied to regain the winning thread. Book of Secrets appears the biggest threat judged on ratings, although the five-year-old will need to see his race out better to hold any chance in this event. No Way Pedro made a winning start for Brian Barr at Worcester recently and shouldn't be underestimated.

ABSOLUTE RULER was no match for the first two when third in a six-runner C&D novice last week but he faces nothing of the calibre of those rivals this time. Jennie Candlish's charge is confidently expected to resume winning ways on these favourable terms. If able to reproduce something akin to the level of form he showed for Dan Skelton, Book of Secrets will most likely be the one to follow the selection home, with recent Worcester winner No Way Pedro best of the rest.

After keeping on strongly to win a low-grade handicap last month, NO WAY PEDRO has a much better chance than the figures suggest.

Only narrowly denied over an extended 1m3f at Yarmouth last month, ROGUE TORNADO can appreciate a marginally stiffer stamina test and is fancied to break his duck off 2lb higher. Tom Clover's inmate has scope to progress and is taken to get the better of Natacata, who steps up in trip following a distant sixth over 7f at Kempton last October. Cosmic View completes the shortlist.

ROGUE TORNADO shaped well on his Yarmouth handicap debut and has to be considered the one to beat unless the market vibes are notably strong surrounding the returning Sir Mark Prescott handicap newcomer Natacata.

A maiden handicap in all but name. Preference is for ROGUE TORNADO, with Natacata feared most.

The lightly-raced RIGGSBY is improving and, having shown up well for a long way in a similar contest over C&D last month, he could be progressive enough to take a race like this. There are dangers aplenty, however, as the likes of Tally's Son, Ez Tiger and George Mallory all have potential. The first named of that trio looks the biggest thereat to the selection.

RIGGSBY took a step forward when third on his handicap debut in this sphere over C&D last month and he is appealing off the same mark. Gone In Sixty shaped with encouragement back from a break at Market Rasen and he is next on the list ahead of Oasis Prince, while George Mallory and Tally's Son are each-way players.

His finishing effort was slightly disappointing but RIGGSBY still ran very well when third over C&D on his handicap debut last month.

Tropez Power has been knocking on the door of late and was not disgraced when finishing second over 1m1f at York last month. However, he previously suggested he wants further, so the unexposed OTTOMAN PRINCE gets the nod. Sir Mark Prescott's three-year-old made a pleasing return to action when scoring at Wolverhampton in May and, given his dam was Listed placed, he is taken to progress further on his turf and handicap bow. Last-time-out winner Cancan In The Rain is another to consider.

TROPEZ POWER's sole success on turf was as a 2-y-o but he has been knocking on the door of late and is taken to deservedly get his head back in front. It's likely that he will have most to fear from unexposed handicap debutant Ottoman Prince, who hails from an ultra-shrewd, in-form yard. Cancan In The Rain made it third time lucky for Charlie Johnston at Newmarket recently and also merits respect, along with Laser Guided.

The in-form GARDEN OASIS is taken to win his second race of the season. Ottoman Prince and Cancan In The Rain are feared most.

Well Done Dani exploited a handy mark when winning over 2m here in April and is respected having backed that up at Worcester 18 days ago. However, she has gone up a further 5lb in the handicap and the additional yardage demands more. With that in mind, previous C&D winner EMILY WADE shades preference, as her effectiveness at the course and more proven stamina are appealing factors. Cartmel winner Pure Surf is also considered, despite the 7lb penalty.

WELL DONE DANI has been a different proposition since wind surgery and it's worth chancing her stamina now stepping back up in trip. Emily Wade has a series of solid efforts to her name in recent months and is second choice ahead of Game Beaaa, who took a step back in the right direction wen fourth at Market Rasen recently.

After a good run in defeat over fences last month, CAMILLA'S CHOICE is taken to make a winning stable debut.

This represents a drop in class for GANNON GLORY, who finished a fair third over this trip at Hamilton on his most recent start. A combination of first-time cheekpieces and a 1lb lower mark can see him go very close. Fiscal Policy made a promising return to turf when filling the runner-up spot at Thirsk last month and is feared most off 2lb higher, while South Dakota Sioux is another to consider.

Plenty with chances in this big-field finale. Course specialist CORINTHIA KNIGHT ran his best race of the season when fourth back here last time and can strike for in-form Archie Watson. Last year's winner Late Arrival had an excuse last time and had been in form prior to that so he's second choice. Kath's Toyboy, South Dakota Sioux and Fiscal Policy are others with plenty to recommend them.

The vote goes to FISCAL POLICY (nap) who remains open to further improvement. Kath's Toyboy is second choice.

Lingfield winner Skallywag Bay is noteworthy as she reverts to turf off just 3lb higher, while Unlimited Data is dangerous to underestimate despite being 0-5 on grass so far. He's done well on the all-weather recently and has built up a good rapport with Lewis Edmunds. However, ESTATE rates as the most appealing option, as the handicapper has dropped him 1lb even tough he's improved greatly since racing with a tongue-tie fitted.

SKALLYWAG BAY was better than ever when successful at Lingfield a fortnight ago and a 3 lb higher mark back on turf won't prevent a very bold follow-up bid. Unlimited Data was a shade better than the result at Wolverhampton and is a threat, along with Estate.

Estate is a major player back into Class 5 company but SKALLYWAG BAY won well dropped to 5f last month and she can follow up.

Whataboutyeh went in by just under three lengths over fences at Cartmel on Friday and he is an interesting contender on his return to this sphere, but the vote goes to TOMMYDAN. The eight-year-old struck over C&D on his penultimate start and, if he can run anywhere near that level, he could prove tough to beat. Last-time-out victor Blue Sans is also in the mix.

A few in with a squeak but it was hard not to be impressed by the way WHATABOUTYEH sauntered to victory over fences at Cartmel on Friday so, provided this doesn't come too soon, Sam England's 6-y-o is fancied to take his record to 2-2 at this track. Just Call Me Al lurks on a dangerous mark, so he can give the selection most to think about, ahead of recent C&D winner Blue Sans and the mercurial Betty's Belle.

Progressive 6yo WHATABOUTYEH (nap) makes a quick return after scoring in good style over fences off today's mark at Cartmel on Friday.

Band Of Joy (second) and ACER (third) are closely matched going by their encounter here last month and, while both have scope, it's noteworthy that the latter didn't get the cleanest of starts that day. Granted a smoother exit from the stalls, she is taken to reverse the form. She was also supported in the betting on that occasion so connections were clearly confident. Johnny Johnson and Zola Power also make some appeal.

Having been backed at long odds, MAKE IT EASY travelled with plenty of purpose starting out at Chepstow 3 weeks ago, ultimately fading into fifth. With above-average progress forecast, she looks up to winning a maiden such as this. Acer and Band of Joy are perhaps the main threats unless there's support for a newcomer.

Make It Easy is open to plenty of improvement but JOHNNY JOHNSON looks capable of further progress dropping to 5f.

SECRET TRIX won very nicely over C&D when beating Coconut Twist last time and he has been raised 6lb for that success. The son of Kayf Tara looks to have lots in his favour once more, so he is likely to prove very difficult to beat. The Longest Day has put in three solid efforts since April, with the latest a runner-up effort where he was nine lengths clear of the third, and he can get involved.

SECRET TRIX has shown improved form since stepping up in trip, producing a career best in first-time cheekpieces when winning readily over this C&D in May. He can continue his progress to see off the challenge of The Longest Day, who ran well when second here 3 weeks ago. Coconut Twist also merits consideration.

This might go to LELANTOS, who was third in a race that has worked out well at Worcester last month and remains on a good mark.

CHERRY bumped into a potentially useful filly on her reappearance at Chelmsford last month and, given that race was full of potential improvers, this daughter of Dubawi is hard to oppose with her yard back among the winners. Decoration is the most intriguing option from the opposition, as she has a stellar pedigree that suggests she will get better with experience. Anna Aurelia has C&D knowledge and, along with Reflex, needs monitoring in the betting.

The well-bred CHERRY pulled clear of the rest when second to Long Ago (winner again since) in a Chelmsford novice last month and, with further improvement on the cards, she will take plenty of stopping. Decoration is also open to improvement and could be the one to follow Cherry home, though Value Added is likely to be on the premises, too, and Anna Aurelia showed enough on her debut over C&D to suggest that she is not without each-way hope either.

Having shown plenty of ability in her two runs, this looks a good opportunity for CHERRY to open her account.

CHARGED UP sets a decent standard after three respectable efforts, the best of which saw him chase home the potentially useful Dawn Charger (went on to finish seventh in the Albany at Royal Ascot) on his latest start. Stepping up in trip could unlock further improvement and this son of Expert Eye is a key player. Lexington Belle also showed potential on debut over 6f at Lingfield last month, while Alpen Power is an interesting newcomer.

CHARGED UP got back on track when runner-up at Carlisle a month ago and with 7f likely to suit, he can put his experience to the best possible use. Loubiere will know more this time and is a threat, while any market support for Alpen Power on debut would look noteworthy.

The vote goes to CHARGED UP, who sets a fair standard and could have more to offer on his step up to this trip.

Recent C&D winner Sterling Knight steps up in class and a 3lb raised mark may not be enough to stop him featuring, but APHELIOS shades the vote. The gelded son of Kodiac likely needed his last run after a break and he must hold every chance of building on that. He's in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood next month, so connections will be hoping he can keep improving. Dora Penny will need to bounce back from a mediocre York run.

A good-quality handicap with TANMAWWY the most persuasive option, The Newmarket race he ran in last time wasn't run to suit and with his reappearance second at Newbury well advertised since, he can do some damage from this mark. Mister Bluebird and Silver Samurai (if they go a good clip) look the main threats.

Sterling Knight's course record means he needs a second look but TANMAWWY (nap) can confirm the promise of his seasonal return.

Recent Carlisle winner Star Start is respected off just 2lb higher and should be popular with the talented Billy Loughnane booked for the ride. However, as is the case with Lincoln Rockstar, who races in first-time cheekpieces, consistency hasn't been his strong point, and he is taken on with the lightly-raced HEART OF SOFIA. The Nigel Tinkler-trained filly has shown improved form of late and, with another step up in trip likely to suit, she could be hard to beat.

STAR START left his reappearance effort trailing in his wake when shedding the maiden tag at Carlisle 32 days ago and with his rider's valuable claim offsetting his rise in the weights, he's expected to be firmly in the mix again. Lincoln Rockstar, who arrives on the back of a good second at Beverley, can emerge as the chief threat.

Recent Carlisle winner Star Start is respected but the vote goes to last week's Beverley runner-up LINCOLN ROCKSTAR.

ABSOLUTE QUEEN recorded a staying-on success over 1m2f at Bath on her latest start and George Boughey's three-year-old indicated that there could be more to come stepping up in trip. The booking of William Buick catches the eye and she is expected to mount another bold bid off 4lb higher. Recent C&D runner-up Raqisa is feared most, despite being rated 8lb above her last winning mark, while Sea Of Charm is another to consider.

SYDNEY MEWS reacted well to the addition of a hood when fourth at Lingfield last time and is taken to build on that and provide the red-hot Andrew Balding with a third successive win in this. Absolute Queen and Raqisa are the obvious dangers.

Recent Bath winner ABSOLUTE QUEEN is progressing well and, with this step up in trip likely to suit her, is taken to beat Raqisa.

Robert Johnson, who has won three of his last four starts, is likely to go well again despite creeping up in the ratings, while Yorkindness also enters calculations. However, the one that appeals most is the improving BAEZ, who seems to be flourishing since being upped in trip. The four-year-old gets weight from all of her rivals and has plenty to offer on these terms.

ROBERT JOHNSON has had the form of last month's Thirsk success strongly boosted and half of his 6 lb rise is offset by Billy Loughnane's claim so he looks good for a fourth win in his last 5 starts. Baez and Belle of Annandale might be the pair to give him most to do.

Preference is for ROBERT JOHNSON (nap), who has won three of his last four and is open to more progress on this step back up to 2m.

Mujid arrives in fair form, although a drop to 1m could prove on the sharp side. With that in mind, VILLALOBOS edges the vote. Simon Hodgson's gelding finished a solid third over this trip at Bath last month and a 1lb drop in the ratings combined with Adam Farragher's 3lb claim could prove just the tonic. Kumasi can clearly run well fresh, as seen with his success over C&D after a 338-day absence last August, and is another to note.

In a contest where few boast compelling claims the most solid option could be VILLALOBOS as he is at least consistent. Kumasi won over C&D off a lay-off last year so his 10-month absence since isn't a concern and he's second choice ahead of Starry Eyes, the mount of Tom Marquand.

Thrave and Blue Curacao have claims but VILLALOBOS ran as well as he ever has on turf last time and could be the answer.

CINQUE VERDE appeared a different proposition in first-time blinkers at Wolverhampton last Monday and a 6lb penalty may not be enough to prevent Karl Burke's filly from completing a quick-fire double. Ecclesiastical is bidding for a hat-trick, but the six-year-old will find life tougher now 9lb higher than his recent success at Chester. With that in mind, Glory Hallelujah may emerge as a bigger threat after running with more promise in fourth place at Chepstow a week ago.

This looks to concern the last-time-out winners ECCLESIASTICAL and Cinque Verde, with preference for the former as he's still very well treated on the best of his form. He can bring up the hat-trick at the expense of Karl Burke's filly, who was rejuvenated by first-time blinkers when opening her account last time and would be a serious danger if that headgear has a similar effect. Primo's Comet looks best of the rest.

Cinque Verde and ECCLESIASTICAL both look well treated under penalties for their wins last week and the vote goes to the latter.

The majority of these appear in the grip of the handicapper at present and this could prove a suitable opportunity for THOMAS EQUINAS to get back on the scoresheet. Dean Ivory's charge is now 1lb lower than his latest fourth-placed effort at Yarmouth and makes most appeal. Fillyfudge may prove more competitive now returned to class 6 company and is feared most, ahead of Galileo Glass.

GALILEO GLASS has found just one too good on three occasions since the turn of the year and is presented with a good opportunity to go one better here. Second choice is Thomas Equinas, who is just 1 lb above the mark off which he hit the target at Southwell in March and he wasn't disgraced back on turf last time. An on-song Bbob Alula would be a danger to all, while Oh So Audacious makes some each-way appeal.

In a modest finale THOMAS EQUINAS, a creditable fourth on at Yarmouth last time, is taken to beat Fillyfudge.

Ahamoment showed a willing attitude when rallying to complete a brace at Ayr last month and the four-year-old cannot be underestimated off only 3lb higher. Preference, however, is for SPARKLE IN HIS EYE, who has only been nudged up 1lb in the ratings for his runner-up effort over C&D ten days ago and a first success of the season could be imminent. Monhammer was behind the selection in third on that occasion and also enters calculations.

AHAMOMENT showed improved form when getting off the mark at this C&D in June before displaying a likeable attitude when scoring again at Ayr 10 days later. He can continue his progress to complete the hat-trick. Sparkle In His Eye ran well when second here last time and could be the main danger, with Monhammer completing the shortlist.

It might be worth siding with SPARKLE IN HIS EYE who won this last year and returned to form with a close second over C&D ten days ago.

Star Shield did well to overcome a troubled passage when triumphant at Wetherby last month and, with the second winning since, David O'Meara's charge isn't one to take lightly off only 2lb higher here. Nevertheless, FINBAR'S LAD's beating of subsequent winner Roman Dynasty at Haydock in June is arguably stronger form and he edges the vote, with a 4lb rise looking lenient. Gometra Ginty's mark continues to slide and she can chase that duo home.

The vote goes to YAASER, who put together a string of decent efforts in defeat prior to fluffing his lines at the start at Doncaster. The 5-y-o is now below his last winning mark and could be ready to strike. Finbar's Lad didn't show much on his reappearance in May but subsequently hit the target at Haydock and he is feared most ahead of the in-form Star Shield and Gometra Ginty.

This is a tight call between the two last-time-out winners but FINBAR'S LAD gets the vote ahead of Star Shield

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.
