14:10 Pontefract Handicap (Class 6) 6f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
4 1st (4) (11/4 +31%) Griselda	2.75 11/4(+31%)	(4) Griselda 11/4, Matched Newmarket form when seventh of 9 in maiden at Carlisle (5.8f, good) 29 days ago. Nurseries more suitable. Newmarket raider; open to improvement on nursery debut.
7 2nd (7) (9/1 +36%) Bank On Kent	9 9/1(+36%)	(7) Bank On Kent 9/1, Struggled to land a blow when eleventh of 12 in seller at Chester (7f, good) 25 days ago. Visor needs to sharpen him up now contesting a nursery. Related to several winners for his yard; may improve.
8 3rd (8) (5/1 +33%) Toota	5 5/1(+33%)	(8) Toota 5/1, Backed at long odds and shaped quite well when fifth of 10 in novice event at Ripon (6f, good) 19 days ago. Hood on first time and there's a bigger performance in her, so she's of serious interest. Looks the type to do better in nurseries; one to consider.
5 4th (5) (20/1 -186%) Bobby Jones	20 20/1(-186%)	(5) Bobby Jones 20/1, Sent off 40/1 but posted a creditable fifth of 16 in maiden at Nottingham (6.1f, good to firm) 12 days ago, never nearer. Makes handicap debut from a very fair opening mark. Consistent thus far but may not have much in hand off this mark.
3 5th (3) (18/1 -80%) Elladora Black	18 18/1(-80%)	(3) Elladora Black 18/1, Sent off 40/1 and found the going tougher out of selling company when last of 6 in minor event at this C&D (good) 16 days ago. Makes handicap debut and more is needed. Has weak form claims but may do better now handicapping.
6 6th (6) (100/1 -1900%) Love Games	100 100/1(-1900%)	(6) Love Games 100/1, Showed more than previous two starts when sixth of 9 in novice event at Redcar (6f, good to firm, 18/1) 17 days ago, denied a clear run. In good hands and type to do better in nurseries. Clear signs of improvement last time; may well build on that effort.
2 7th (2) (100/1 -3233%) Lady Dorchester	100 100/1(-3233%)	(2) Lady Dorchester 100/1, 125/1, 22¾ lengths last of 15 to Betty Clover in listed race at York (5f, good) 53 days ago. This is a more realistic assignment on nursery debut. 0-6; best effort suggests her opening mark is workable.
1 8th (1) (66/1 -1550%) Off The Bench	66 66/1(-1550%)	(1) Off The Bench 66/1, Backward step when last of 4 in maiden at Doncaster (5f, good to soft) 68 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Needs to bounce back. Peak effort suggests he is interesting off 67.

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

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

LADY DORCHESTER struggled to land a blow in Listed company last time, but Raphael Freire's charge is clearly well thought of by connections and she makes most appeal today. The AMO Racing-owned filly has been running with credit in her career to date and this first attempt in handicap company off a fair-looking rating of 67 could see her to better effect. Similar comments apply to Toota, who is feared most off an opening mark of 56, while Bobby Jones should also be noted.

All of these contest a nursery for the first time with LOVE GAMES just about the most interesting of them having displayed a lot more on his final qualifying run. Toota is also a likely improver at the foot of the weights, with Bobby Jones allotted a very fair mark.

Tentative preference is for LOVE GAMES, ahead of Griselda and Off The Bench in a typically tricky early nursery.

14:25 Lingfield Maiden (Class 5) 10f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
14 (14) (8/1 +0%) Rocha Do Leao	8 8/1(+0%)	(14) Rocha Do Leao 8/1, Fair filly. Remains a maiden after 9 Flat runs. 14/1, last of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 8 days ago, folding tamely. Blinkers back on. Others preferred. Reacted well to blinkers when tried once before but has an awful lot to prove now.
2 1st (2) (10/3 +5%) Fox Vision	3.333333 10/3(+5%)	(2) Fox Vision 10/3, Fairly useful gelding. Disappointed in handicaps this term but returns to much shorter trip here and has the form to play a part. Placed three times but has regressed this campaign and he drops in distance.
12 2nd (12) (5/4 +0%) French Mistress	1.25 5/4(+0%)	(12) French Mistress 5/4, Promising type who only narrowly failed to make a winning debut in minor event at Nottingham (10.2f, good) 49 days ago, running on. The one to beat. Went close over this far at Nottingham and that form has worked out quite well.
13 3rd (13) (350/1 -2088%) Luna Dipinta	350 350/1(-2088%)	(13) Luna Dipinta 350/1, Once-raced filly. 28/1, fifth of 12 in minor event at this C&D (AW) on debut, having hopeless task from position. Off 7 months. Open to improvement on first run for yard after leaving Kevin Philippart De Foy. 28-1 but showed promise when fifth of 12 on her C&D debut in November.
9 4th (9) (350/1 -11567%) Poncho	350 350/1(-11567%)	(9) Poncho 350/1, Fair winner at 16f over hurdles. Much improved from debut on Flat, in first-time cheekpieces, when third of 9 in maiden at Goodwood (14f, good) 18 days ago. Must enter calculations. Novice hurdle winner; third at Goodwood last time when not getting home over 1m6f.
3 5th (3) (100/1 -400%) Global Resolve	100 100/1(-400%)	(3) Global Resolve 100/1, 90,000 gns yearling, Starspangledbanner gelding. Brother to useful winner up to 1m Bill The Butcher and half-brother to winner up to 1½m Ryony and smart winner up to 1¼m Fev Rover. 90,000gns yearling; well related but gelded ahead of this belated debut.
11 6th (11) (400/1 -1500%) The Glen Rovers	400 400/1(-1500%)	(11) The Glen Rovers 400/1, Twice-raced gelding on Flat. 100/1, sixth of 13 in maiden at Leicester (8.2f, good to soft) 35 days ago, left poorly placed. Back up in trip. Up against it. Went close in a bumper on the Polytrack here but hasn't offered much in 1m2f/1m maidens.
1 7th (1) (300/1 -500%) Dubai Harbour	300 300/1(-500%)	(1) Dubai Harbour 300/1, Once-raced gelding. 11/1, seventh of 9 in minor event at Thirsk (8f, soft) on debut. Off 12 months. Up in trip. First run for yard after leaving James Tate. Down the field in one run for James Tate (1m, soft) and sold on for 1,000gns; now gelded.
10 8th (10) (350/1 -600%) The Flying Falco	350 350/1(-600%)	(10) The Flying Falco 350/1, Twice-raced gelding on Flat. Seventh of 8 in maiden (300/1) at Nottingham (8.3f, good) 49 days ago. Will hold stronger claims when sent handicapping. Hasn't shown anything like enough in two Flat starts to warrant a second look here.
5 9th (5) (350/1 -1300%) Indian Pearl	350 350/1(-1300%)	(5) Indian Pearl 350/1, Once-raced gelding. Hooded, fifth of 13 in maiden (66/1) at Kempton (8f) on debut, never nearer. Off over 2 years. Up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Patrick Leech. Positive first run but that was over two years ago and he's a 6yo now..
8 10th (8) (350/1 -961%) Onesteptwosteps	350 350/1(-961%)	(8) Onesteptwosteps 350/1, Twice-raced gelding on Flat. 150/1, eleventh of 13 in maiden at Sandown (10f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Maiden over jumps and tried chasing the once; beaten about 16l in two 1m2f maidens.
4 11th (4) (450/1 -800%) Hk Fourteen	450 450/1(-800%)	(4) Hk Fourteen 450/1, Once-raced gelding. Ninth of 14 in minor event at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm, 125/1) on debut 15 days ago. Up in trip. Looks a longer-term prospect. Never raced for Brian Meehan; beaten about 20l on recent debut at Windsor (1m).
6 12th (6) (300/1 -500%) Kingston Brave	300 300/1(-500%)	(6) Kingston Brave 300/1, Making GB/IRE Flat debut. 100/1, last of 13 in bumper at Huntingdon (15.8f, good) on NH debut 75 days ago. Hard to fancy. 100-1 when tailed off in a Huntingdon bumper in April.
7 13th (7) (450/1 -1264%) Mapogo	450 450/1(-1264%)	(7) Mapogo 450/1, Remains a maiden after 7 Flat runs. 150/1, first run since leaving George Boughey when last of 10 in handicap at Sandown (10f, good) 25 days ago, possibly amiss. Best watched. 0-9 and left George Boughey cheaply; tailed off on stable debut in a 1m2f handicap.

14:25 Lingfield Maiden (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

After a very pleasing second on her racecourse debut over 1m2f at Nottingham, this looks a good opportunity for FRENCH MISTRESS to get off the mark at the second attempt. Kevin Philippart De Foy's charge was only beaten a neck on that occasion, finishing with a strong late run, and should come on for that experience. Fox Vision has been running with credit in handicap company of late and he can be seen to better effect now back in a maiden, while Poncho is also of interest.

It's hard to get away from FRENCH MISTRESS, who made an encouraging debut at Nottingham in May and looks sure to improve. Poncho and Fox Vision may give her most to think about.

Those with the best flashes of form have become disappointing. FRENCH MISTRESS showed enough at Nottingham to get the vote.

14:40 Pontefract Maiden (Class 5) 10f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
4 (4) (9/1 -50%) Cadarn	9 9/1(-50%)	(4) Cadarn 9/1, 100,000 gns foal, Magna Grecia gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including winner up to 1¼m Killybegs Warrior and unreliable winner up to 8.3f Ventura Knight, both useful. Newcomer for successful yard. 100,000gns foal; Magna Grecia half-brother to five winners; check the betting.
7 (7) (150/1 -50%) King Kev	150 150/1(-50%)	(7) King Kev 150/1, Masar gelding. Dam sprint maiden half-sister to useful/moody winner up to 12.4f (stayed 2m) Capable Guest. Gelded son of Masar; stable isn't associated with debut scorers.
3 1st (3) (6/1 -9%) Mighty Bandit	6 6/1(-9%)	(3) Mighty Bandit 6/1, Fairly useful winner at 17f over hurdles and changed hands for €420,000 from Gordon Elliott. Much better effort second Flat outing when runner-up at Chepstow a fortnight ago and he should have more to offer in this sphere. 2m hurdle winner; went close at Chepstow on latest Flat run; place claims.
6 2nd (6) (16/1 +36%) Kildare Legend	16 16/1(+36%)	(6) Kildare Legend 16/1, €250,000 yearling, Sea The Stars gelding. Half-brother to French 6.5f winner My Runner. Initially held back by inexperience but ended up showing plenty to work on starting out at Leicester last month. Sure to improve. Needs to improve plenty on his Leicester effort.
11 3rd (11) (12/1 -140%) Yosemite Gold	12 12/1(-140%)	(11) Yosemite Gold 12/1, 75,000 gns yearling, Golden Horn gelding. Half-brother to 2-y-o 7f winner Thunder Max. Dam, maiden (stayed 1½m), half-sister to smart winner up to 1¼m Circumvent. One to note on debut given yard he represents. 75,000gns yearling; by Golden Horn out of a maiden; market informative.
8 4th (8) (9/1 -157%) Redhot Whisper	9 9/1(-157%)	(8) Redhot Whisper 9/1, Fairly useful gelding. Remains a maiden after 7 Flat runs. Good third of 12 in handicap at Epsom (10.1f, good to soft, 28/1) 38 days ago. That confirmed his stamina for this trip and he should give it another good go. Not straightforward but ran well in Epsom handicap most recently; leading player on form.
5 5th (5) (11/1 -485%) James Webb	11 11/1(-485%)	(5) James Webb 11/1, Promising sort who is improving by the run, second of 8 in novice event at Redcar (10f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Limit not yet reached and he looks the one to beat. Has steadily progressive RPRs; close second at Redcar most recently; major contender.
1 6th (1) (100/1 -150%) Hardy Bloke	100 100/1(-150%)	(1) Hardy Bloke 100/1, Fairly useful winning 3m hurdler in Ireland. Seventh of 12 in minor event at Doncaster (11.9f, good to soft, 125/1) on Flat debut 23 days ago, slowly into stride but late headway. More needed on these terms. 3m hurdle winner; never landed a blow at Doncaster (1m4f) on Flat debut.
12 7th (12) (80/1 -567%) Cakewalk	80 80/1(-567%)	(12) Cakewalk 80/1, Shaped nicely on AW debut and better than result suggests when eighth of 12 in novice event at Doncaster (11.9f, good to soft, 18/1) 23 days ago, weakening close home. Open to improvement back in distance. Has shaped encouragingly in both starts; may improve.
2 8th (2) (150/1 -838%) Masterkey	150 150/1(-838%)	(2) Masterkey 150/1, Flat bred and finished third in bumper on debut at Sedgefield in May. Looks up against it switched to the level. Showed promise in Sedgefield bumper but the bare form is ordinary.
13 9th (13) (100/1 -525%) Wadacre Tivoli	100 100/1(-525%)	(13) Wadacre Tivoli 100/1, Third both starts so far, merely matching debut form in maiden at Hamilton (11.1f, good to firm, 9/1) 27 days ago. More required. Finished third at Ripon and Hamilton; needs improvement to win this race.
10 10th (10) (100/1 -150%) Valued	100 100/1(-150%)	(10) Valued 100/1, Cost plenty as a 2-y-o but too green to show much when last of 7 in novice event (14/1) at Thirsk (12f, good to firm) on debut 52 days ago, slowly away. Blinkers quickly reached for. Last of seven in 1m4f event at Thirsk; drops in trip with blinkers applied.
9 11th (9) (200/1 -100%) Trip To Venice	200 200/1(-100%)	(9) Trip To Venice 200/1, Still in need of the experience when ninth of 10 in maiden (200/1) at Nottingham (8.3f, good) 26 days ago, slowly away. Up in trip. Poor chance on his Nottingham efforts (1m).

14:40 Pontefract Maiden (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

JAMES WEBB paid for his inexperience in the closing stages when second over 1m2f at Redcar last month and he can go one better today. Sir Michael Stoute's charge has shaped as if a win is just around the corner in his three starts to date, finishing second on his last two outings, and today can be the day to shed his maiden tag. Redhot Whisper is likely to pose the biggest threat to the selection after a good third in a valuable handicap at Epsom last time, while Yosemite Gold is a son of Golden Horn and looks a newcomer to consider.

JAMES WEBB continued the theme of race-by-race progress when second at Redcar 3 weeks ago and very much in the right hands to go on improving, he can open his account here. Redhot Whisper is slightly more exposed but brings solid form to the table, with Yosemite Gold a newcomer to consider.

Sir Michael Stoute's only runner on the card, JAMES WEBB, gets the vote. Redhot Whisper is the chief threat on form.

14:55 Lingfield Stakes (Class 6) 10f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
9 (9) (25/1 -108%) Aussie Star	25 25/1(-108%)	(9) Aussie Star 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 9 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft, 33/1) 27 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Claims on best form. Lightly raced filly but has beaten just one rival in her two handicaps, over 1m1f and 7f.
10 (10) (50/1 -100%) Edenmore Lad	50 50/1(-100%)	(10) Edenmore Lad 50/1, 33/1, ninth of 10 in minor event at Bath (10.2f, good to firm) 6 days ago. Yet to trouble the judge after 6 attempts. Poor performer who beat just one home in a classified race at Bath (1m2f, firm).
8 1st (8) (4/1 +43%) Villalobos	4 4/1(+43%)	(8) Villalobos 4/1, Modest gelding. C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. Below form fifth of 9 in minor event at Brighton (8f, good, 4/1) 32 days ago. Back up in trip. Not out of things. Beaten about 6l in two turf runs this season but he does have a solid record around here.
3 2nd (3) (9/1 -80%) Forever Proud	9 9/1(-80%)	(3) Forever Proud 9/1, Dual C&D winner who arrives on back of solid fifth of 11 in handicap (12/1) at this course (10f, AW) 19 days ago. Likely contender. Dual C&D winner this year and endured a wide trip when fifth of 11 on her latest visit.
2 3rd (2) (14/1 -40%) Duke Of Vienna	14 14/1(-40%)	(2) Duke Of Vienna 14/1, Eighth of 12 in minor event at Lingfield (11.6f, good to firm, 11/1) 17 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Chance if rediscovering old form. Regressive 11-race maiden who has had four different trainers.
1 4th (1) (150/1 -1400%) Capallcliste	150 150/1(-1400%)	(1) Capallcliste 150/1, Poor gelding. Hooded for 1st time, bit below form sixth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 15/2) 35 days ago, merely closing up late. Others preferred. 15-race maiden who hasn't looked straightforward; hood did nothing for him last time.
7 5th (7) (100/1 -900%) Provocateur	100 100/1(-900%)	(7) Provocateur 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Twelfth of 14 in minor event (18/1) at Yarmouth (8f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Up in trip. Work to do. Pretty much tailed off in all runs, the latest a 1m classified race on soft at Yarmouth.
5 6th (5) (125/1 -681%) No Such Luck	125 125/1(-681%)	(5) No Such Luck 125/1, C&D winner. 40/1, last of 9 in minor event at Brighton (8f, good) 32 days ago. Back up in trip. Makes limited appeal. Both wins have been over C&D but he's hard to warm to on this season's evidence.
11 7th (11) (200/1 -2757%) Makuri	200 200/1(-2757%)	(11) Makuri 200/1, Modest filly. Below form seventh of 12 in handicap (8/1) at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Has to be taken seriously. 0-10 but a repeat of her third at Brighton in April would give her some chance.
6 8th (6) (350/1 -4275%) Poppydora	350 350/1(-4275%)	(6) Poppydora 350/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1, seventh of 8 in minor event at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Back up in trip. Needs a couple of these to falter. Poor so far but getting away from maiden/novice company can help.
12 9th (12) (125/1 -2400%) Run Joy Run	125 125/1(-2400%)	(12) Run Joy Run 125/1, Modest filly. Below form sixth of 10 in minor event at Lingfield (7.6f, good to firm, 14/1) 17 days ago, reportedly bled. Cheekpieces back on. One to bear in mind on pick of form. Has at least won a race and she was placed in a C&D handicap two starts back.
4 10th (4) (200/1 -3900%) Laurentia	200 200/1(-3900%)	(4) Laurentia 200/1, Made winning start for new yard over C&D in May and backed that up with creditable fifth of 11 in minor event (17/2) at this course (12f, AW) 35 days ago. Shortlist material. Recent winner who goes well here and 1m4f appeared to stretch her last time out.

14:55 Lingfield Stakes (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Having scored over C&D on her penultimate effort, LAURENTIA looks primed to get back to winning ways today. John Long's runner paid for early keenness on her latest outing over 1m4f at this venue last month, and this drop back in trip could work the oracle. Forever Proud has won twice over C&D this year and she commands respect, while Capallcliste is also likely to be on the scene.

LAURENTIA has acquitted herself well in both starts for her new yard and will appreciate the return to this shorter trip. She gets the nod. Forever Proud and Run Joy Run can also make their presence felt.

All of these come with risks. LAURENTIA is at least a recent winner and didn't appear to stay 1m4f here last time after moving well.

15:10 Pontefract Listed (Class 1) 8f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (14/1 -17%) Caernarfon	14 14/1(-17%)	(2) Caernarfon 14/1, Reached the frame in the 1000 Guineas and Oaks last year. Satisfactory return in the Dahlia at Newmarket but she's finished well held in Group 2/3 subsequently. Ease in class may help dropping back significantly in trip. Far from solid on 2024 form; otherwise, has a leading chance on peak figures.
4 2nd (4) (10/3 -11%) Doha	3.333333 10/3(-11%)	(4) Doha 10/3, Boasts an excellent pedigree and on the way to proving herself a smart performer, improving a chunk when landing 29-runner Kensington Palace Stakes (1m) at the Royal Meeting 3 weeks ago, pulling clear with the runner-up. Well worth her place at this level on that evidence. Well-bred filly; won Royal Ascot handicap most recently; the type to improve further.
6 3rd (6) (8/1 +33%) Elim	8 8/1(+33%)	(6) Elim 8/1, Dual 1m winner at 2yrs. Shaped well when fourth at Redcar on her return and not disgraced when sixth of 24 behind Doha at Royal Ascot (8f, firm) 18 days ago given she was not ideally placed. More needed on these terms but likely she has a bigger effort in her locker. Finished behind Doha at Royal Ascot but remains open to further progress.
5 4th (5) (66/1 -450%) Dora Milaje	66 66/1(-450%)	(5) Dora Milaje 66/1, Lightly-raced 4-y-o who ran well when runner-up at Wetherby (10f) on her penultimate start and did well under the circumstances when taking 6-runner handicap at Haydock (10.2f, firm) 17 days ago. More needed up in grade but she's a C&D winner building up a good strike rate. Largely progressive but doesn't appear to be crying out for drop back to 1m.
9 5th (9) (28/1 -522%) Villanova Queen	28 28/1(-522%)	(9) Villanova Queen 28/1, Irish raider who came in for an astute tactical ride when landing last year's Kensington Palace at Royal Ascot and produced just about her best effort since when ninth behind Doha in this year's renewal 3 weeks ago. Not discounted back at listed level for her very good stable. Finished behind Doha and Elim at Royal Ascot; more exposed than those two.
8 6th (8) (100/1 -100%) Strong Impact	100 100/1(-100%)	(8) Strong Impact 100/1, Winner at Epsom last October who went desperately close to opening her 2024 account at Hamilton (9f) early on last month. Not disgraced when fourth at Haydock (10.2f) 17 days ago, but this demands another sizeable step forward tackling listed company. Blinkers on 1st time. Faces a difficult task upped in class; first-time headgear needs to help.
7 7th (7) (66/1 -500%) Naaey	66 66/1(-500%)	(7) Naaey 66/1, Form of her Kempton debut second as a 2-y-o worked out well and she duly confirmed the promise shown there when landing 12-runner Wolverhampton novice (9.5f) last August. Absent again since but she's in very good hands and interesting she's pitched in here. Promising sort who brings potential to this higher grade; seasonal debut.
1 8th (1) (100/1 -2757%) Astral Beau	100 100/1(-2757%)	(1) Astral Beau 100/1, Useful mare who acquitted herself with credit in pattern company last season and she's run with credit on 2 of her 3 starts this term, 2 lengths fifth of 8 in Group 3 at Epsom (8.5f) 38 days ago. Should give a good account of herself again down in class. Ran creditably behind smart Charyn at Doncaster on most recent Listed start.

15:10 Pontefract Listed (Class 1) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Having been well supported in the Kensington Palace Stakes last time, a chance is taken on ELIM to gain compensation. Edward Bethell's charge had a lot to do towards the rear when staying on for sixth on that occasion and this smaller field can see her better effect. Doha won that same race well and this daughter of Sea The Stars is likely to make another bold bid, while Astral Beau should also be thereabouts after running with credit in Group 3 company last time.

Having shaped encouragingly on her return, the regally bred DOHA confirmed she's on the way to developing into a smart performer when landing the Kensington Palace at Royal Ascot 3 weeks ago. Well on top with the runner-up that day, she's worth her place at this level and shades the vote ahead of the likeable Choisya. Astral Beau back in slightly calmer waters and very low-mileage Naaey are others to bear in mind.

With further improvement on the cards, DOHA is taken to follow up her Royal Ascot win. Astral Beau is second choice.

15:25 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 7f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
8 1st (8) (9/2 +68%) Mister Mojito	4.5 9/2(+68%)	(8) Mister Mojito 9/2, Winner at Yarmouth in April. Below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good to firm, 14/1) 17 days ago. Others look better treated. Improving in the spring; had excuses at Newmarket latest; dangerous back in Class 5.
4 2nd (4) (25/1 -79%) Sonmarg	25 25/1(-79%)	(4) Sonmarg 25/1, 18/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Ran well at Goodwood last month when dropped into a 0-70; less good since; inconsistent.
5 3rd (5) (100/1 -900%) Charlie Mason	100 100/1(-900%)	(5) Charlie Mason 100/1, Latest win at Windsor in May. 5/1, 4¾ lengths seventh of 10 to Never Dream in handicap at Goodwood (7f, good) 32 days ago. Visor back on. Not out of things. AW win as a 2yo; won soft-ground 6f handicap in May but less good twice since.
1 4th (1) (9/1 -157%) All Agleam	9 9/1(-157%)	(1) All Agleam 9/1, C&D winner who arrives on back of creditable second of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 33 days ago. Remains feasibly treated and should go well again. C&D win in January; two fair efforts back from a break; should be involved.
2 5th (2) (300/1 -9900%) Ten Commitments	300 300/1(-9900%)	(2) Ten Commitments 300/1, Career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Leicester (7f, good to firm, 7/2) 12 days ago. Just 2 lb higher now and holds leading claims. Big improver for handicaps and got off the mark over 7f 12 days ago; should go well again.
6 6th (6) (300/1 -3650%) Royal Tapestry	300 300/1(-3650%)	(6) Royal Tapestry 300/1, Course winner. Third of 5 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good to firm, 9/2) 11 days ago. Others more persuasive. Course winner (1m); return to AW in his favour and capable of a prominent showing.
7 7th (7) (400/1 -2400%) Alika Breeze	400 400/1(-2400%)	(7) Alika Breeze 400/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 11 in handicap (80/1) at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 57 days ago. Plenty to find on form. Hint of ability as a 2yo; two heavy defeats in 1m handicaps this spring; enough to prove.
9 8th (9) (350/1 -13900%) Never Dream	350 350/1(-13900%)	(9) Never Dream 350/1, Off the mark at Goodwood (7f) on return last month and backed that up with good second of 7 in handicap (10/3) at Salisbury (8f, good) 23 days ago. May have more to offer yet. Two improved runs in turf handicaps this summer; should be in the thick of it.
3 \|PU\| (3) (400/1 -3233%) Different Breed	400 400/1(-3233%)	(3) Different Breed 400/1, C&D winner. Winner here in January. Eighth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 50/1) 27 days ago. Others preferred. C&D win in January; well held in both handicaps since; returns to 7f and drops in class.

15:25 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Ten Commitments showed a likeable attitude when scoring over 7f at Leicester last month and another bold bid can be expected, but a further 2lb rise in the ratings may leave him vulnerable to some better treated rivals. Therefore, a slight preference is for ROYAL TAPESTRY, who rarely runs a bad race and, now back on a very tempting mark, he can get his head in front. Charlie Johnston's charge won off 1lb lower over 1m at this venue last November and he can play a leading role, while Never Dream is also worthy of close consideration.

Preference is for TEN COMMITMENTS, who won a shade cosily at Leicester last month and remains on a workable mark. Never Dream and All Agleam are feared most.

Ten Commitments and Never Dream are on the up but MISTER MOJITO is taken to leave his latest Newmarket run behind him.

15:40 Pontefract Handicap (Class 2) 6f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
4 (4) (10/1 -11%) Roman Dragon	10 10/1(-11%)	(4) Roman Dragon 10/1, Kickstarted 2024 with 6f win at Sakhir in February and ran another solid race when fourth of 11 in handicap at Chester (5f) in May. Not at same level either outing since, latterly in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot, but another who is easing in the weights. Has gained all home-soil wins at Chester; not the percentage call.
3 1st (3) (9/4 +50%) Room Service	2.25 9/4(+50%)	(3) Room Service 9/4, Progressive sort at 2 yrs, winning 2 of his 4 starts, including a valuable sales event at Doncaster (6.5f, good to soft) in September. Finished midfield in group/listed company so far this term but return to handicaps rates a plus and a well-run race will help. Won sales race last term; not disgraced in Group/Listed events this season.
7 2nd (7) (11/2 +15%) Wen Moon	5.5 11/2(+15%)	(7) Wen Moon 11/2, Did well in the mud last season, scoring twice, including over C&D. Dispelled a couple of lesser efforts (in first-time tongue tie) when fifth of 11 in handicap at Chester (5.1f) 24 days ago, faring best of those held up. Edged back down to last winning mark and not discounted. Gained soft-ground wins at this course and York (off this mark) in 2023.
5 3rd (5) (10/3 +49%) Matters Most	3.333333 10/3(+49%)	(5) Matters Most 10/3, Dual winner at 2 yrs who, having been gelded following final start, resumed with a career-best second of 7 in handicap at Windsor (6f) in June. Below best in big-field Royal Ascot handicap (5f) 18 days ago but previous form has been boosted subsequently and he's worth another chance. Always behind at Royal Ascot; solid second at Windsor earlier in June.
8 4th (8) (50/1 -1150%) Flaccianello	50 50/1(-1150%)	(8) Flaccianello 50/1, Successful 3 times during a highly productive 2-y-o campaign and showed benefit of her reappearance run when good second of 11 in handicap at York (6f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Versatile as regards ground and she's another 3-y-o holding claims. Good second at York last time; may not have reached her ceiling yet.
6 5th (6) (33/1 -200%) Woven	33 33/1(-200%)	(6) Woven 33/1, Plenty of solid runs in big-field handicaps for this yard, including when fourth in 21-runner contest at York (6f) on his penultimate start. Shade disappointing returned to 7f at that venue 24 days ago and others preferred for win purposes. Retains ability aged eight but still has a modest strike-rate.
2 6th (2) (100/1 -1011%) Silky Wilkie	100 100/1(-1011%)	(2) Silky Wilkie 100/1, Losing run stretches back to last spring and proving hit and miss this term, finishing seventh in the "Dash" at Epsom on his latest outing 38 days ago. Cheekpieces worn then are discarded now and he's on a handy mark on his best form returned to 6f. Tapped for toe in the Epsom Dash; return to 6f may be worth exploring.
1 7th (1) (18/1 -500%) Coachello	18 18/1(-500%)	(1) Coachello 18/1, Smart ex-Irish 6f/7f scorer who made a perfectly satisfactory start for new yard when running on into midfield in the Wokingham (6f) at Royal Ascot 17 days ago. Cheekpieces discarded now and his mark has eased a little. Tongue strap refitted. Ran encouragingly in the Wokingham on debut for new yard; interesting.

15:40 Pontefract Handicap (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

An open event in which only a tentative vote can go to SILKY WILKIE. Sent off as favourite in the Dash at Epsom last month, he was far from disgraced in seventh. Karl Burke's gelding was afforded a 2lb ease in the ratings for that effort and he is handicapped to strike in these marginally calmer waters. Flaccianello bumped into an improver at York last month and she is an obvious candidate today, while others to note include Room Service and Woven.

MATTERS MOST was below his best in a big-field Royal Ascot handicap 18 days ago but his reappearance second behind a subsequent winner was a solid display and he could make full use of his plum draw on the rail and bounce back here. Room Service with his sights lowered, Silky Wilkie, and Wen Moon, who has fallen back down to his last winning mark, are others to consider.

The suggestion is FLACCIANELLO, who may be capable of further progress. Matters Most is second choice.

15:55 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 10f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
6 1st (6) (8/1 +0%) Orbital	8 8/1(+0%)	(6) Orbital 8/1, Winner at Chelmsford City in June. 7/1 and visored for 1st time, seventh of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 9 days ago, hampered. Probably better than this mark when everything clicks. Hasn't progressed since winning 7f handicap on AW in June; worth a go over 1m2f.
3 2nd (3) (4/1 -33%) Sugarloaf Lenny	4 4/1(-33%)	(3) Sugarloaf Lenny 4/1, Course winner. 15/8, good second of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 19 days ago, running on. Worth a chance to go one better. Solid in defeat since winning 1m handicap debut here; stamina in pedigree for new trip.
5 3rd (5) (10/1 -25%) Alvesta	10 10/1(-25%)	(5) Alvesta 10/1, Fourth of 6 in handicap (9/1) at Leicester (10f, good to firm) 12 days ago, unlucky not to finish closer having met trouble. Worth considering. Vulnerable in handicaps of late and her latest 4th of six was a backward step if anything.
8 4th (8) (16/1 -129%) Thrilling Dream	16 16/1(-129%)	(8) Thrilling Dream 16/1, Winner at Bath in May. Fifth of 7 in handicap (5/1) at Catterick (12.1f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Can feature if the headgear has a positive effect. Dogged show to win 1m2f handicap at Bath; not sure to want a sharp test back at this trip.
7 5th (7) (300/1 -4186%) Myna	300 300/1(-4186%)	(7) Myna 300/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable seventh of 13 in handicap (10/3) at Goodwood (9.9f, good) 25 days ago. Not dismissed. Close 2nd on 1m2f handicap debut; lacked pace next time; might need stiffer test at 1m2f.
9 6th (9) (150/1 -1567%) Small Fry	150 150/1(-1567%)	(9) Small Fry 150/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 9/4, first run since leaving Kieran Purcell when last of 9 in handicap at Brighton (9.9f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Needs to bounce back but he's still unexposed. Close 3rd on handicap debut at Cork (1m4f); miles off his game on debut for new yard.
2 7th (2) (200/1 -3233%) Treasure Storm	200 200/1(-3233%)	(2) Treasure Storm 200/1, 40/1, very good third of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 19 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Can make presence felt. 5f winner as 2yo; not the strongest of finishers over 7f and 1m; new stamina challenge.
1 8th (1) (200/1 -2122%) God Bless America	200 200/1(-2122%)	(1) God Bless America 200/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Sixth of 7 in handicap (13/2) at Ffos Las (8f, good) 13 days ago, having run of race. Up in trip. Makes polytrack debut. Has work to do. Front-runner; looks to have his share of weight; stamina query for 1m2f on pedigree.
4 9th (4) (250/1 -3025%) Middlesex	250 250/1(-3025%)	(4) Middlesex 250/1, Last of 6 in handicap at Haydock (10.2f, firm, 11/2) 17 days ago. Others have achieved more. Ran right out of steam on handicap debut when upped to 1m2f; reservations for now.
10 10th (10) (100/1 -733%) Muy Barato	100 100/1(-733%)	(10) Muy Barato 100/1, Unreliable individual. Good third of 9 in handicap at this course (8f, AW, 12/1), nearest finish. Off 6 months. Up in trip. Will probably need the run. Has refused to race and been slowly away; promising handicap debut over 1m; could improve.

15:55 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

SUGARLOAF LENNY won over a mile here as a two-year-old and having gone close over the same distance on his last couple of outings, Bill Knight's charge looks ready for this step up in trip. Treasure Storm finished third behind the selection at Wolverhampton last time and can make her presence felt debuting for a new trainer, while Myna was narrowly beaten over today's distance at Newbury in May and a repeat effort should see him in the mix once again. Thrilling Dream and Alvesta are others to note.

SUGARLOAF LENNY has been knocking on the door and makes most appeal on the back of another fine second at Wolverhampton. Treasure Storm also arrives in good order and looks a danger, while Alvesta likely has a bigger performance in her at some point.

There are question marks about all of them and SUGARLOAF LENNY is just a hopeful choice to make a success of the step up in trip.

16:10 Pontefract Handicap (Class 5) 12f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
7 (7) (13/2 +7%) Yippee	6.5 13/2(+7%)	(7) Yippee 13/2, Winner here (10f) in May. 7/1, last of 5 in handicap at Newmarket (10f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Up in trip. Needs a couple of these to falter. Poor efforts since winning here in May; return to Pontefract may have positive effect.
8 1st (8) (9/2 -100%) Free Speech	4.5 9/2(-100%)	(8) Free Speech 9/2, Chelmsford nursery winner (at 10f) who has made the frame on each of her last 4 starts in handicaps on turf/AW, latterly when third of 7 at Kempton (12f) 27 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Looks set to go well. Has two solid pieces of turf form; major chance provided she takes well to headgear.
9 2nd (9) (25/1 -213%) Toronto Raptor	25 25/1(-213%)	(9) Toronto Raptor 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 14/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Goodwood (9.9f, good) 25 days ago, dropping away quickly. Up in trip here and he needs to leave that in his wake to feature. May still do better in handicaps; only runner on the card for his Newmarket trainer.
1 3rd (1) (6/1 -50%) It's All About You	6 6/1(-50%)	(1) It's All About You 6/1, Didn't kick on as expected as a 3-y-o but eased in weights and comes here having run creditably all 3 starts for new yard, second of 5 in handicap at Haydock (16.2f) 33 days ago, better placed than most. Respected back down in trip with cheekpieces fitted. Consistent efforts at 1m4f-2m for new stable; possibilities if taking well to headgear.
2 4th (2) (9/2 +44%) Natzor	4.5 9/2(+44%)	(2) Natzor 9/2, Gained breakthrough win over 10f at Newcastle in May and hasn't been seen to very best either outing on turf/AW since, noted finishing with running left on latest outing back at Newcastle. One to bear in mind. 1m2f AW win in May; not disgraced at about 1m4f the last twice; remains in form.
3 5th (3) (100/1 -1900%) Evening Story	100 100/1(-1900%)	(3) Evening Story 100/1, Course winner (at 1m) who registered back-to-back AW victories in the autumn. 14/1, produced best effort of present campaign when third of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 10 days ago, staying on. Still lightly raced on turf and claims of hitting the frame again. Raced mainly on AW; won at this course on the second of two turf attempts; interesting.
5 6th (5) (50/1 -213%) Polar Princess	50 50/1(-213%)	(5) Polar Princess 50/1, Winner at Newcastle in February. Fourth of 5 in handicap at Newmarket (12f, good to firm, 25/1) 12 days ago, coming from a less-than-ideal position. Represents in-form yard and she could well build on that. AW win off this mark in February; fourth of five at Newmarket most recently.
6 7th (6) (100/1 -1150%) Kaaress	100 100/1(-1150%)	(6) Kaaress 100/1, Rattled off a quick-fire all-weather hat-trick during second half of last year and opened account on turf at Redcar (10f, soft) in May. Efforts mixed on Flat/over hurdles since and she needs to keep her slow starting at bay returned to this sphere. Sole turf win came in a weak race at Redcar in May; now 1lb higher in a deeper field.

16:10 Pontefract Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU finished a creditable second over 2m at Haydock last month and, from 1lb higher, he looks set to mount a stern challenge. A drop in trip may suit while the addition of first-time cheekpieces could elicit some improvement, and he is preferred to Evening Story. Free Speech has been admirably consistent in recent starts and she can be on the premises once again.

A winner at Chelmsford back in the autumn, FREE SPEECH has been holding her form well on both turf and all-weather in recent months and, with cheekpieces enlisted for the first time, she could be the way to go under Rossa Ryan. Natzor wasn't seen to best effect at Newcastle and he's a threat along with It's All About You. Polar Princess is another to keep an eye on for her in-form yard.

Judged on her Windsor form in May, FREE SPEECH holds particularly strong claims. It's All About You is second choice.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (4/1 +60%) Dutch Kingdom	4 4/1(+60%)	(1) Dutch Kingdom 4/1, Course winner. 28/1, bit below form sixth of 13 in handicap at Newbury (7f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Not without each-way hope. Three AW wins last year, including here; on a winning mark; chance now dropped in grade.
2 2nd (2) (16/1 -357%) King Of Scotia	16 16/1(-357%)	(2) King Of Scotia 16/1, Latest win at Brighton in June. 6/4, last of 5 in handicap at Ffos Las (7.4f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Capable of a bold show off this mark. 1m win at Brighton three weeks ago; disappointed at Ffos Las five days later; bit to prove.
5 3rd (5) (50/1 -317%) Ring Of Light	50 50/1(-317%)	(5) Ring Of Light 50/1, Ninth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 22/1) 13 days ago. The ability is there but he's nevertheless likely to find a few too good. Missed 2023 but retains ability; latest effort better than the finishing position suggests.
9 4th (9) (450/1 -3650%) Marayel	450 450/1(-3650%)	(9) Marayel 450/1, Last of 10 in handicap (10/1) at Bath (8f, good) 24 days ago and it's easy enough to look elsewhere. 15-race maiden who is yet to get going for his new yard; others are more appealing.
3 5th (3) (28/1 -833%) Landlordtothestars	28 28/1(-833%)	(3) Landlordtothestars 28/1, Latest win at Southwell in January. 4/1, creditable second of 9 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 29 days ago. Enters calculations. Three Tapeta wins to his name and also effective over C&D; good 2nd latest; big player.
4 6th (4) (125/1 -942%) Molly Valentine	125 125/1(-942%)	(4) Molly Valentine 125/1, Course winner. Below form fifth of 11 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, heavy, 13/2). Off 108 days and down in trip. Perhaps vulnerable from a win point of view. On a winning mark; return to 1m can help; not solid but has the ability to run a big race.
7 7th (7) (350/1 -3400%) Luna Queen	350 350/1(-3400%)	(7) Luna Queen 350/1, C&D winner. 9/1, first run since leaving Conrad Allen when fifth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) 10 days ago, not ideally placed. Others more persuasive on balance. C&D winner who is on a good mark; sharper for recent stable/seasonal debut.
6 8th (6) (66/1 -1000%) Tea Sea	66 66/1(-1000%)	(6) Tea Sea 66/1, Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap (3/1) at Southwell (8.1f), left poorly placed. Off 6 months but he could have a part to play if fully tuned-up. In good order at Southwell in December; absent since and can give trouble at the stalls.
8 9th (8) (350/1 -8650%) Mykonos St John	350 350/1(-8650%)	(8) Mykonos St John 350/1, 28/1, improved on recent efforts to win 9-runner handicap at this course (10f, AW) 10 days ago, possibly helped by way race developed. 3 lb rise by no means prohibitive but his record suggests that a follow-up success is far from assured. Ended losing run with a comfortable 1m2f win here ten days ago; 3lb rise fine.

16:25 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

LANDLORDTOTHESTARS won at Southwell at the start of the year and James Evans' charge looks capable of scoring off his current handicap mark on the evidence of last month's second over this course and distance. Ring of Light will likely take advantage of a slip down the weights before long and can get involved here, while Dutch Kingdom may figure with Liam Wright's 5lb claim helping his cause. Last month's Brighton winner King Of Scotia is preferred to Mykonos St John of the remainder.

KING OF SCOTIA proved rather disappointing at Ffos Las but that may have come too soon, just five days after his Brighton success. If back on-song he could well be the answer here. Landlordtothestars returned to form back on the all-weather when finding just one too good over this C&D last month and he is second choice. Tea Sea will also be in with a shout if ready to roll following a six-month break.

Several possibles but LANDLORDTOTHESTARS (nap) bumped into one here last month and he can gain compensation.

Ridden too aggressively back on the Flat since and worth treating as if still in form. Close third at Cartmel in May but today's race looks stronger; minor role his best hope.
5 (5) (50/1 +0%) Fortune D'honfleur	50 50/1(+0%)	(5) Fortune D'honfleur 50/1, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Half-brother to modest chaser Duhallow Paddy, stayed 25f. Dam modest 2m hurdle winner. Has an unappealing pedigree, so can only be watched unless the betting suggests otherwise. Half-brother to a low-grade chase winner; entited to learn from this debut outing.
12 (12) (150/1 -50%) Line Out	150 150/1(-50%)	(12) Line Out 150/1, Unplaced completed start in Irish points and showed nothing in a Southwell maiden hurdle last month. Pulled up when 50-1 for last month's rules debut at Southwell (2m4f).
14 (14) (150/1 -50%) Steel Soldier	150 150/1(-50%)	(14) Steel Soldier 150/1, Little impact in Irish points and showed nothing in a Worcester bumper on recent Rules debut. Struggled when 250-1 for Worcester bumper on recent rules debut.
6 1st (6) (25/1 -525%) Guard Duty	25 25/1(-525%)	(6) Guard Duty 25/1, Bumper in winner in late 2022 who shaped as if in need of the experience making hurdling debut after a long absence when fourth at Ffos Las in May. Hood on for 1st time. Bumper winner; beaten favourite after racing too freely on hurdle debut; now hooded.
10 2nd (10) (11/1 -144%) Virtual Rock	11 11/1(-144%)	(10) Virtual Rock 11/1, Useful on the Flat in France, stays 1½m, won listed race at Longchamp second and final start in 2023. Sold from S. Kobayashi 16,000 gns later in year. Interesting hurdling debutant. Listed Flat winner in France; half-brother to two hurdle winners; interesting recruit.
11 3rd (11) (450/1 -582%) Dartman	450 450/1(-582%)	(11) Dartman 450/1, Fair maiden handicapper on Flat but little impact competed starts over hurdles, carried out by loose horse at Stratford last week. Has some fair Flat form but was soundly beaten on first two hurdling starts.
8 4th (8) (400/1 -506%) Pyrrhic Dancer	400 400/1(-506%)	(8) Pyrrhic Dancer 400/1, Went with little promise when pulled up on his Stratford hurdle debut in May 2023. Completed a hat-trick on the Flat in the winter but it's still only modest form. Won two low-level AW races during the winter but still opposable on this hurdling return.
7 5th (7) (400/1 -300%) Prince Abu	400 400/1(-300%)	(7) Prince Abu 400/1, Down the field in a Huntingdon bumper in November 2020. Just modest form on the Flat, proving too free when well held on most recent outing. This year's AW form is very underwhelming; best watched on hurdling debut.
3 6th (3) (400/1 -2757%) Dance Rules	400 400/1(-2757%)	(3) Dance Rules 400/1, €48,000 5-y-o, Dansant gelding. Half-brother to a multiple point winner. Dam (c83) 2¾m chase winner. Runner-up sole start in Irish points (May 19). Bought for 48,000euros after going close on Irish point debut in May; rules debut today.
4 \|B\| (4) (33/1 -200%) Deploy To Spy	33 33/1(-200%)	(4) Deploy To Spy 33/1, Shaped with encouragement when second of 8 in a bumper at Southwell (15.8f, good to soft) on debut, albeit no match for winner. Off 11 months but should have a future over jumps. Clear second on bumper debut a year ago; not seen again since.
1 \|F\| (1) (2/5 +40%) Valsad	0.4 2/5(+40%)	(1) Valsad 2/5, Useful on Flat (stays 1¾m) and justified substantial support in impressive fashion on last month's C&D hurdling debut. Sure to progress and looks more than capable of defying a penalty. Useful Flat-racer; comfortably made all over C&D on stable/hurdle debut.
2 \|PU\| (2) (450/1 -350%) Barbarosa	450 450/1(-350%)	(2) Barbarosa 450/1, Notched a win on the Flat for Clare Hobson this year but has shown little all 3 starts over hurdles. Won basement-grade AW race in February but struggled when back over hurdles in May.

16:33 Uttoxeter Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

VALSAD justified his short odds in fine style on his hurdling debut over C&D last month and he could have plenty more to offer. Harry Derham's five-year-old carries a 7lb penalty for that triumph, which is unlikely to stop him from following up. The main threat might be Guard Duty, who could only manage fourth on his first hurdle start but he may show more in a first-time hood. Of the remainder, Virtual Rock makes the most appeal with the booking of Harry Cobden catching the eye.

VALSAD, a good quality recruit from the Flat, ran out quite an impressive winner on his C&D hurdling debut last month and is surely good enough to defy a penalty with improvement on the cards. Virtual Rock showed a similar level of form on the level to the selection and is feared most ahead of Guard Duty.

Recent C&D winner Valsad is respected but bumper winner GUARD DUTY can improve over hurdles if aided by the first-time hood here.

16:45 Pontefract Handicap (Class 5) 8f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
9 (9) (13/2 +46%) Diddy Man	6.5 13/2(+46%)	(9) Diddy Man 13/2, 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Latest win at Doncaster in April. Well-backed 13/2, sixth of 9 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good to soft) 21 days ago, poorly drawn and hanging left over 1f out. Back up in trip which will suit. Two all-the-way wins in April; inferior form since, having been unable to dominate.
1 (1) (15/2 +6%) Carolus Magnus	7.5 15/2(+6%)	(1) Carolus Magnus 15/2, Nineteen runs since last win in 2021. 7/2, last of 10 in handicap at Wetherby (8f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Quirky sort but now on a career-low mark. Disappointing dropped to this grade last time, taking record for current stable to 0-11.
6 1st (6) (14/1 -100%) Distinction	14 14/1(-100%)	(6) Distinction 14/1, 3 wins from 11 runs this year. Latest win at Beverley in June. Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap (22/1) at Newcastle (8f) 11 days ago. Back down in class. Successful at Beverley in May/June but has never defied a mark this high.
10 2nd (10) (14/1 -100%) Mulciber	14 14/1(-100%)	(10) Mulciber 14/1, Latest win at Newcastle in February. 17/2, first run since leaving Marco Botti when good third of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 12 days ago. Good chance if proving effectiveness on turf. Likely player provided his AW form is transferred back to turf; second run for new yard.
11 3rd (11) (10/3 +45%) Bateman	3.333333 10/3(+45%)	(11) Bateman 10/3, Mid-division at best in 3 maidens for 3 different yards, not knocked about when fifth of 12 at Ripon (6f, good) 20 days ago. May do better now entering handicaps up in trip. Gives the impression he'll relish this new trip on handicap debut; interesting.
5 4th (5) (13/2 +19%) Poet's Dawn	6.5 13/2(+19%)	(5) Poet's Dawn 13/2, 7/1, creditable 2¼ lengths third of 7 to Distinction in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Cheekpieces back on (good efforts in them previously). One to consider. Respectable third to Distinction at Beverley last month; still on last winning mark.
2 5th (2) (11/2 -38%) Ardbraccan	5.5 11/2(-38%)	(2) Ardbraccan 11/2, Latest win at Nottingham in April. Good second of 8 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, good to firm, 4/1) 11 days ago, no match for thriving sort. One to consider. Regained the winning thread in April; has remained in form since; solid effort last time.
3 6th (3) (50/1 -733%) Shamardal Star	50 50/1(-733%)	(3) Shamardal Star 50/1, Sixth of 16 at Wetherby (7f, good to soft, 16/1) 28 days ago, needing stiffer test and not knocked about. That was an encouraging run and he's respected on his handicap debut up in trip. Caught the eye on latest 7f start; open to improvement upped to 1m on handicap debut.
7 7th (7) (25/1 -213%) Hostelry	25 25/1(-213%)	(7) Hostelry 25/1, Latest win at Thirsk in April. 9/2, respectable third of 6 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Runner-up over C&D in May off 2 lb higher. Ran respectably last time but all wins remain in Class 6; not the percentage call.
8 8th (8) (80/1 -142%) Invincible Aura	80 80/1(-142%)	(8) Invincible Aura 80/1, Winner at Southwell in March. Last of 9 in handicap (25/1) at Haydock (8.2f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Has gone off the boil and needs to bounce back now taking on older rivals. Dismal claims on 2024 turf form; first-time headgear needs to help.
4 9th (4) (50/1 -525%) Coolree	50 50/1(-525%)	(4) Coolree 50/1, Latest win at Beverley in May. Good fourth of 8 in handicap (7/1) at this C&D (good) 16 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Did a bit too much up front in C&D event last time; doesn't need to lead.

16:45 Pontefract Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

ARDBRACCAN found only the progressive Beylerbeyi, who has subsequently won again, too good when second at Doncaster. Clear of the rest on that occasion, she can go one better at the main expense of Hostelry. The latter also placed at Doncaster last time and may have finished closer than third with a clear run, while Distinction accounted for Poet's Dawn when winning at Beverley and can be forgiven a moderate effort in a higher grade at Newcastle on his latest start.

A number to consider but SHAMARDAL STAR appeals as the type to do better now handicapping up in trip and could be worth chancing. Ardbraccan is a danger, while Mulciber might prove to be the pick of the 3-y-os if proving as good on turf.

The two suggestions against the field are the interesting handicap debutants BATEMAN (narrowly preferred) and Shamardal Star.

16:55 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 8f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (9/4 +25%) Valkyrian	2.25 9/4(+25%)	(1) Valkyrian 9/4, 14/1, respectable second of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 2 days ago. Record stands at 0-12 on the AW but will be a big player if turned out again quickly. All three runs this year can be upgraded to some degree; good claims dropped in class.
9 2nd (9) (18/1 -177%) Hul Ah Bah Loo	18 18/1(-177%)	(9) Hul Ah Bah Loo 18/1, C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap (5/1) at this C&D (AW) 29 days ago. Couldn't rule out. Dangerous mark and latest C&D 4th was more like it; more required back in Class 5 though.
4 3rd (4) (25/1 -614%) Delta Legend	25 25/1(-614%)	(4) Delta Legend 25/1, First run since leaving Jane Chapple-Hyam when winning 10-runner handicap at this C&D (AW, 6/1) 29 days ago, suited by strong pace. 3 lb rise for that career-best effort looks manageable and he's a leading candidate with Oisin Murphy booked. 2-2 over C&D and Oisin Murphy a notable booking; still low mileage; leading contender.
2 4th (2) (20/1 -471%) Smart Deal	20 20/1(-471%)	(2) Smart Deal 20/1, 7/4, career best when winning 5-runner claimer at this C&D (AW) 40 days ago, having run of race. Capable of making his presence felt, for all that more is needed back in handicap company. Three 1m AW wins since November, including C&D latest; not ruled out; cheekpieces off now.
3 5th (3) (22/1 -175%) Bernadine	22 22/1(-175%)	(3) Bernadine 22/1, 8/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) 17 days ago, slowly away. Tongue strap on 1st time and worth a second look back on the AW. Three wins in 2023; back to last winning mark; tongue tie added after 2 quiet runs in June.
6 6th (6) (100/1 -900%) Swiss Pride	100 100/1(-900%)	(6) Swiss Pride 100/1, Eight-time course winner, the latest gained in April. Seventh of 15 in handicap on turf course here (7f, good to firm, 11/1) 31 days ago. 12 lb higher now returned to the AW and he's opposable. Multiple course winner, including at 1m; still feasibly weighted; solid contender.
8 7th (8) (350/1 -2400%) Daphne May	350 350/1(-2400%)	(8) Daphne May 350/1, C&D winner. Bit below form sixth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 25/1) 13 days ago. Something to find on form. Operating off a lowly mark & retains some ability; others look safer in this field though.
5 8th (5) (300/1 -1100%) Harbour Vision	300 300/1(-1100%)	(5) Harbour Vision 300/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. 40/1, last of 13 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, good) 55 days ago. Back down in trip and others are more persuasive. Struggled since an easy Wolverhampton win in March; others are more persuasive.
7 9th (7) (450/1 -4400%) Bishop's Glory	450 450/1(-4400%)	(7) Bishop's Glory 450/1, 12/1, first run since leaving Alexandra Dunn when last of 4 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good) 32 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Yard also saddles Daphne May. 7f win for former yard in Nov; low-key stable debut last month; blinkers now; trip a query.

16:55 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Delta Legend made a perfect start for the Gay Kelleway stable when scoring by just under a length over C&D last month and he holds obvious claims off a 3lb higher mark under Oisin Murphy. However, the vote goes to HUL AH BAH LOO, who was beaten into fourth over track and trip last time and he was dropped 1lb for that display. With a better draw this time around and Luke Morris booked, he ought to go close. Smart Deal is another to consider.

The vote goes to HUL AH BAH LOO, who is now 12 lb lower in the weights compared to when striking over C&D in November and he shaped as though his turn may again be nearer when fourth back here last month. Delta Legend made a winning start for this yard in a C&D handicap and will be a threat, particularly if he again gets a strong pace to aim at. Smart Deal is third choice but in reality they will all have their work cut out if Valkyrian, who was second at Chelmsford on Sunday, takes his chance.

Delta Legend is greatly respected in his bid to make it 3-3 over C&D, but VALKYRIAN looks ready to gain her first AW success.

Form	Odds	Runs
9 (9) (3/1 +14%) Dame Sarra	3 3/1(+14%)	(9) Dame Sarra 3/1, Modest Flat winner who didn't need to improve to make second hurdle start a winning one in 12-runner mares novice at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good) 25 days ago, always holding on. Should be competitive under a penalty. Kept on too strongly for odds-on favourite in Newton Abbot mares' race last month; player.
2 (2) (33/1 -65%) Dreams Fled Away	33 33/1(-65%)	(2) Dreams Fled Away 33/1, Dam half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 3m) Master Jake. Fair handicapper at best on Flat, stays 12.5f, below form for current yard. Disappointing in AW handicaps this spring; has a lot to prove on today's hurdle debut.
5 1st (5) (2/5 +9%) Light Fandango	0.4 2/5(+9%)	(5) Light Fandango 2/5, Ran to a similar level as on hurdling debut when third of 22 in a maiden at Punchestown (16.8f, good) 31 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. First run for yard after leaving Colm A. Murphy. Sets a clear standard. Placed in 22-runner Punchestown maiden last month; leading contender on stable debut.
12 2nd (12) (80/1 -567%) Razzle Dazzle Boy	80 80/1(-567%)	(12) Razzle Dazzle Boy 80/1, Made quite an encouraging start to career when fifth of 13 in a maiden hurdle at Ffos Las (15.8f, good) on debut 40 days ago, considerately handled. Should improve. Kept on for respectable fifth on debut at Ffos Las and has obvious scope for progress.
4 3rd (4) (350/1 -600%) Holy Legend	350 350/1(-600%)	(4) Holy Legend 350/1, From a good family but has made little impact in 3 bumpers. Safely held in all three bumpers, having shown a tendency to race too freely; hurdle debut.
10 4th (10) (300/1 -809%) Gwennie May Jem	300 300/1(-809%)	(10) Gwennie May Jem 300/1, In a top yard but little promise in a bumper/both starts over hurdles so far. With a top stable but soundly beaten on bumper debut and on both hurdling starts.
6 5th (6) (350/1 -250%) Real Rewards	350 350/1(-250%)	(6) Real Rewards 350/1, Runner-up on last of 4 starts in Irish points but no promise either start over hurdles. Has had a breathing operation since latest outing. Struggled to get competitive on both hurdling starts; had wind op in May.
1 6th (1) (350/1 -3789%) Buxted Reel	350 350/1(-3789%)	(1) Buxted Reel 350/1, Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Shwaiman (2½m winner, by Authorized). Fair handicapper on Flat, stays 1¾m, below form last time. Sold from Ian Williams for 17,000 gns in December. Place claims at least if taking to this new discipline. Fair on the Flat; bought for 17,000gns in December; makes stable/hurdle debut here.
8 7th (8) (350/1 -1300%) Zain Farhh	350 350/1(-1300%)	(8) Zain Farhh 350/1, Rather lost his way on the Flat for Paul Webber last year and sold for just £3,500. Shaped as if badly in need of run sent hurdling when down the field in a Worcester maiden 13 days ago, pulling hard. Hood on for 1st time in this code. Tailed off when 33-1 for recent stable/hurdle debut; may settle better in refitted hood.
13 8th (13) (350/1 -600%) Sixty Plus	350 350/1(-600%)	(13) Sixty Plus 350/1, Little solid form in bumpers and looks best opposed on this switch to hurdling. Third at triple-digit odds in one of her three bumpers; faces tough task on hurdle debut.
3 9th (3) (200/1 -700%) Easter Icon	200 200/1(-700%)	(3) Easter Icon 200/1, Fair handicapper on the Flat but mid-field at best completed starts over hurdles, though d little change after meeting trouble at Ffos Las last time. AW winner on stable debut in February but has not yet shown a great deal over hurdles.
11 \|U\| (11) (350/1 -600%) Inoue	350 350/1(-600%)	(11) Inoue 350/1, Down the field in 2 bumpers. Makes hurdles debut. First run for yard after leaving Stuart Crawford. Hooded for 1st time. Beaten 35l+ in two bumpers for Stuart Crawford in May; hooded for stable/hurdle debut.
7 10th (7) (350/1 -250%) Shadow's	350 350/1(-250%)	(7) Shadow's 350/1, Has shaped with little promise both starts over hurdles. A well-beaten outsider on first two hurdling starts.

17:05 Uttoxeter Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Dame Sarra took a step forward from her debut over hurdles to score by just under two lengths at Newton Abbot last time, but she could find it tougher with a 7lb penalty and preference is for LIGHT FANDANGO. The five-year-old showed signs of amount of ability in two starts in Ireland before switching to the Neil Mulholland yard and he has scope for improvement under Brian Hughes. Any market confidence behind Buxted Reel should also be noted.

LIGHT FANDANGO will benefit from return to 2½m in due course, but he sets a clear standard on his 2 runs for his previous yard and is taken to make the most of a good-looking opportunity. Dame Sarra should give another good account under a penalty, while Buxted Reel should be in the hunt for a place if taking to this new discipline.

The one to beat is LIGHT FANDANGO, who was placed in a big-field Punchestown maiden on the second of his two starts in Ireland.

2 (2) (9/4 +55%) French Company	2.25 9/4(+55%)	(2) French Company 9/4, Fair gelding. 25/1, below form ninth of 18 in handicap at the Curragh (12f, good) 11 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. In front of Magnetic North and Kendancer at Limerick, could be close between the three now.
3 (3) (7/2 +13%) Magnetic North	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(3) Magnetic North 7/2, Fairly useful gelding. Didn't need to improve to win 8-runner claimer at Gowran (8f, good, 6/1) 22 days ago, taking time to get going. Significantly back up in trip. Good chance again at this level. Beat a solid yardstick over 1m at Gowran, previously split French Company and Kendancer.
7 (7) (4/1 -60%) Kendancer	4 4/1(-60%)	(7) Kendancer 4/1, Fairly useful gelding. Below form fourth of 11 in claimer at Limerick (11.5f, good to firm, 11/4) 27 days ago, barely adequate test. Form choice. Engaged 5.00 Roscommon Monday. Good form in claiming hurdles until running a shocker at Roscommon on Monday.
4 (4) (9/2 +40%) Edge Of Darkness	4.5 9/2(+40%)	(4) Edge Of Darkness 9/2, Fairly useful gelding. 20/1, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Limerick (12.5f, good) 17 days ago. Four-time 1m4f winner for the Johnstons, well held on Flat and over hurdles for this yard.
6 (6) (6/1 +20%) Boom Boom Boom	6 6/1(+20%)	(6) Boom Boom Boom 6/1, Bit below form fourth of 8 in novice hurdle (9/2) at Downpatrick (17.8f, good) 23 days ago. Poor on last Flat run. Fit from hurdling but was well below his best in two starts at Dundalk early in the year.
10 (10) (11/1 +67%) Romann	11 11/1(+67%)	(10) Romann 11/1, Modest gelding. 40/1, ninth of 11 in claimer at Limerick (11.5f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Won two AW races for Pat Flynn in his early days, 42-rated gelding makes little appeal now.
5 (5) (11/1 -144%) Lunar Bird	11 11/1(-144%)	(5) Lunar Bird 11/1, Lightly-raced winner. Off 10 months. First run for yard after leaving David Simcock. Remains unexposed. Won a 1m2f Ripon novice on her first run last season, not as effective over 1m4f after.
9 (9) (14/1 +79%) Bolero	14 14/1(+79%)	(9) Bolero 14/1, Remains a maiden after 25 Flat runs. 22/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Bellewstown (14.5f, good) 5 days ago, slowly away. A 25-race maiden, placed seven times, best form last year was early in the season on soft.
1 (1) (20/1 -150%) Morph Speed	20 20/1(-150%)	(1) Morph Speed 20/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 66/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 10 in handicap at Cork (12f, good) 25 days ago. Best form in 2021, has struggled in two Flat outings and a maiden hurdle for this yard.

17:10 Tramore Claimer 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The vote goes to MAGNETIC NORTH, who landed the corresponding event 12 months ago. The nine-year-old was on target at Gowran last month and must hold every chance of retaining his crown, while he does not have much to find with the likes of Morph Speed, who is top-rated from a mark of 79. He finished last of 10 in a competitive handicap on his most recent outing but dropping in class may see him get more involved now. Lunar Bird is one to note on her Irish debut. The Cracksman filly was a winner in England last year and is entitled to play a part if running to her mark of 75.

KENDANCER wasn't seen to best effect in a similar event last time on the back of 2 claiming hurdle wins and he's worth another chance. Magnetic North and Lunar Bird are feared.

The vote goes to MAGNETIC NORTH who has a good record in claiming races and is a C&D winner

Form	Odds	Runs
2 (2) (9/2 +44%) Ghathanfar	4.5 9/2(+44%)	(2) Ghathanfar 9/2, Course winner. Twenty two runs since last win in 2022. 18/1, below form eleventh of 20 in handicap at York (6f, soft) 24 days ago, unable to dominate. Rare go over 5f and this is easier. C&D winner; running well off his reduced mark this season but stall 12 tempers enthusiasm.
6 (6) (17/2 -89%) Emperor Caradoc	8.5 17/2(-89%)	(6) Emperor Caradoc 17/2, Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable second of 8 in handicap at this C&D (good, 9/4) 29 days ago, keeping on having been outpaced over 2f out. Runner-up in good-ground sprints on his last three runs; tricky draw to negotiate.
10 (10) (9/1 -38%) Protest Rally	9 9/1(-38%)	(10) Protest Rally 9/1, Latest win at Musselburgh in June. Creditable 1½ lengths joint-second of 12 to Cavalier Approach in handicap (22/1) at this C&D (good) 8 days ago. Booking of Marquand a plus. Should continue to give a good account. Drawn wide when 2nd to Cavalier Approach here last week; 5lb better off; contender again.
11 (11) (11/1 -38%) Lettuce Leaf	11 11/1(-38%)	(11) Lettuce Leaf 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fifteenth of 19 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good, 13/2) 23 days ago, stumbling leaving stalls. Better judged on promising reappearance at Redcar and remains unexposed now taking on older horses. Slipped at the start when disappointing at Thirsk last month; still has untapped potential.
8 (8) (12/1 +25%) Zargun	12 12/1(+25%)	(8) Zargun 12/1, Latest win at Doncaster in March. Respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at Catterick (6f, good, 11/1) 57 days ago. Yard has had multiple long-priced winners in recent weeks. Made all at Doncaster in March off 4lb lower; mixed since and could do with lots of rain.

One to consider. Two good efforts for new yard recently, third over 6f here last week; that trip suits best.
7 (7) (14/1 -17%) Let's Go Hugo	14 14/1(-17%)	(7) Let's Go Hugo 14/1, Latest win at Newcastle (5f) in April. Respectable 2¼ lengths fourth of 12 to Cavalier Approach in handicap (14/1) at this C&D (good) 8 days ago, running on late. AW win in April; finished well from a hopeless position behind Cavalier Approach last week.
12 (12) (20/1 -43%) Dunnington Lad	20 20/1(-43%)	(12) Dunnington Lad 20/1, Latest win at Ripon in June. Fifth of 8 in handicap (15/2) at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) 12 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Not taken lightly. Made all at Ripon last month; overdid things at Nottingham latest; up in class.
4 (4) (66/1 -371%) Newyorkstateofmind	66 66/1(-371%)	(4) Newyorkstateofmind 66/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Hamilton in June. 18/1, respectable fifth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 11 days ago, best work finish. Hamilton winner last month; fair effort at Newcastle 11 days ago; well drawn; e-w shout.
1 (1) (80/1 -2567%) Cavalier Approach	80 80/1(-2567%)	(1) Cavalier Approach 80/1, Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at this C&D (good, well-backed 10/3) 8 days ago. Can go well again under penalty from low draw. Had a few of today's rivals behind when winning readily over C&D last week; strong claims.
9 (9) (100/1 -203%) Imperiousity	100 100/1(-203%)	(9) Imperiousity 100/1, Won at Salisbury in September. Has refused to race last 3 starts. First run for 6 months/after leaving Ian McInnes. Refused to race on his last three starts in 2023; new yard; carries considerable risk.
5 (5) (100/1 -1329%) Sound Reason	100 100/1(-1329%)	(5) Sound Reason 100/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Respectable 2¾ lengths sixth of 12 to Cavalier Approach in handicap (8/1) at this C&D (good) 8 days ago, reared leaving stalls but sticking to his task. Well treated and shaped with promise here last week having fluffed the start; contender.

17:17 Pontefract Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

CAVALIER APPROACH only needed to be pushed out by Rossa Ryan to return a cosy winner over track and trip last week. He can shrug off a penalty on that evidence and confirm superiority with runner-up Protest Rally. Emperor Caradoc may prove a bigger threat to the selection, given he can race off the same handicap mark as when second here last month, while Dicko The Legend has been threatening a return to winning ways and could be thereabouts at the finish.

Last week's C&D 1-2 CAVALIER APPROACH and Protest Rally (dead-heated for second) can come to the fore again, with Ed Bethell's 4-y-o taken to confirm the form over his rival and follow up with Rossa Ryan in the plate once more. Lettuce Leaf, the only 3-y-o in the field, remains unexposed now taking on older rivals and could produce a bigger performance.

Sound Reason can get closer to CAVALIER APPROACH (nap) today but the topweight is still fancied to win again.

17:25 Brighton Stakes (Class 6) 5f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 (1) (6/5 +4%) Alfred Cove	1.2 6/5(+4%)	(1) Alfred Cove 6/5, Modest gelding. 9/4, didn't need to be at best when winning 9-runner minor event at this course (6f, good to firm) 7 days ago, just holding on. Well capable of following up. Won here last Tuesday in a similar contest and looks sure to be thereabouts..
2 (2) (7/4 +61%) Firenze Rosa	1.75 7/4(+61%)	(2) Firenze Rosa 7/4, Modest mare. C&D winner. Sixth of 8 in handicap (22/1) at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Not ruled out. Has won six times but only modest form this year; needs soft ground..
5 (5) (9/2 -13%) Suanni	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(5) Suanni 9/2, Modest gelding. Latest win at Lingfield in April. 22/1, last of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Unable to dominate last time and should find it easier to lead here, so likely to bounce back. Free-going front-runner whose only win on turf came at Bath in 2021..
6 (6) (20/1 -43%) Zeno	20 20/1(-43%)	(6) Zeno 20/1, 9/1, last of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to firm) 77 days ago. Has a bit to prove. Has only beaten one horse in his two starts this year and big improvement required..
7 (7) (66/1 -500%) Orange Rosetta	66 66/1(-500%)	(7) Orange Rosetta 66/1, 28/1, fourth of 5 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW). Off 141 days. Others make more appeal. Has shown only modest form and needs to have improved since last run in February..
4 (4) (66/1 -1367%) Stryder	66 66/1(-1367%)	(4) Stryder 66/1, Modest gelding. 16/1, last of 8 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Not firing at present but this is a thin race. Third in a similar contest over C&D last month but last of eight at Windsor ten days ago..
3 (3) (250/1 -400%) Hurricane Alert	250 250/1(-400%)	(3) Hurricane Alert 250/1, Four wins from 89 Flat runs. Thirty eight runs since last win in 2019. 100/1, last of 5 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) 7 days ago. Last win was in 2019 and this veteran has only beaten one horse in five starts this year..

17:25 Brighton Stakes (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Alfred Cove, a narrow winner over C&D last Tuesday, ought to give another bold showing, but SUANNI is preferred. Darryll Holland's charge hasn't been at his best recently, but the son of Lethal Force was on target in a handicap at Lingfield in April and it would come as no surprise were he to bounce back now eased into classified company for the first time. Firenze Rosa completes the shortlist.

ALFRED COVE scored here a week ago and, with the opposition out of form, he's the obvious choice to go in again. Suanni is a danger if allowed his own way in front and Firenze Rosa isn't completely dismissed.

This looks a good opportunity for ALFRED COVE (nap) to land back-to-back wins after scoring here last week. Stryder is feared most.

17:30 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 6f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
7 (7) (13/2 -30%) Due Date	6.5 13/2(-30%)	(7) Due Date 13/2, Three wins from 10 runs this year, the latest at Wolverhampton in June. 11/4, creditable third of 9 in handicap at that course (6.1f) 8 days ago. Solid chance. Three AW wins this year and comes here in top form; contender despite the widest stall.
10 (10) (7/1 +0%) Coast	7 7/1(+0%)	(10) Coast 7/1, C&D winner. Successful on the turf course here in June. Respectable third of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 15/2) 8 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Conditions to suit, in form and well drawn; should make another bold bid.
2 (2) (15/2 -50%) Sir Rodneyredblood	7.5 15/2(-50%)	(2) Sir Rodneyredblood 15/2, C&D winner. Creditable second of 8 in minor event (4/1) at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago, no match for winner. One for the shortlist. Prolific on AW; fair turf run last month and he's of more interest back on this surface.
5 (5) (9/1 +10%) Gherkin	9 9/1(+10%)	(5) Gherkin 9/1, Bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 9/1) 78 days ago. Entitled to come on for that given that he was returning from a 6-month break. Blinkers back on and he's one to consider. Promising reappearance in April; Oisin Murphy booked; one to take seriously.
9 (9) (10/1 -25%) Fayasel	10 10/1(-25%)	(9) Fayasel 10/1, Creditable third of 8 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good, 9/2) 21 days ago. Live each-way candidate. Handicapped to win and comes here in form but he'd be more appealing over 7f.
8 (8) (11/1 -38%) Big Bard	11 11/1(-38%)	(8) Big Bard 11/1, Below form sixth of 12 in handicap at this course (7f, AW, 10/1) 42 days ago. Looks vulnerable for win purposes. Has won on AW but better on turf; this year's two runs need bettering if he's to feature.
1 (1) (14/1 -40%) Global Warning	14 14/1(-40%)	(1) Global Warning 14/1, Last of 10 in handicap (12/1) at this course (7f, AW) 68 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Capable at this level; 7f perhaps his optimum trip but needs a market check all the same.
3 (3) (25/1 -317%) Jungle Run	25 25/1(-317%)	(3) Jungle Run 25/1, 11/4, bit below form fourth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 47 days ago. Down another 1 lb and he's in with a shout. Three AW wins to his name; in fair form in the spring; each-way shout.
4 (4) (28/1 -133%) Lady Nagin	28 28/1(-133%)	(4) Lady Nagin 28/1, Latest win here in May. 7/1, last of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 19 days ago. Hood back on. Others make more appeal overall. 5f win here in May; below par at Wolverhampton 19 days ago; others are more appealing.
6 (6) (28/1 -460%) Havechatma	28 28/1(-460%)	(6) Havechatma 28/1, C&D winner. 12/1, creditable third of 9 in handicap at Bath (5f, good) 24 days ago. Expected to be bang there off 1 lb lower here with that run under her belt. Improved for blinkers last winter, winning twice on AW; promising reappearance; contender.

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

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

C&D winner Sir Rodneyredblood filled the runner-up spot in a classified event at Yarmouth on his latest outing and he makes his return to the handicap ranks off a workable mark. However, he could come out second best to HAVECHATMA, who returned from a 177-day break to hit the frame over 5f at Bath and she was kindly dropped 1lb for that effort. The daughter of Havana Grey is a previous C&D scorer and she can record her third career victory. Due Date is another to note.

Several to consider in this open-looking handicap. HAVECHATMA shaped well back from a break when third at Bath last month and she is of strong interest back on the all-weather. Gherkin was returning from a similar break when mid-field at Windsor in April and, like the selection, he should be sharper this time. Stuart Kittow's charge is second choice with Oisin Murphy booked, while Coast, Due Date and Jungle Run are others with claims.

Sir Rodneyredblood and Gherkin should go well but HAVECHATMA remains unexposed as a sprinter in headgear.

17:35 Uttoxeter Handicap Chase (Class 4) 20f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
8 (8) (7/2 +40%) Deerstalker	3.5 7/2(+40%)	(8) Deerstalker 7/2, Narrowly denied in 18.5f handicap hurdle at Stratford in April. Strong in the betting so chase debut there 7 weeks ago was a shade disappointing. More needed. Hurdling promise but remote fourth on chase debut and blinkers are now added.
3 (3) (5/1 -43%) Golfe Clair	5 5/1(-43%)	(3) Golfe Clair 5/1, Fairly useful winning hurdler in 2021/22 and made a successful debut over fences after 12 weeks off at Stratford (22.6f) in May, jumping well in the main. Can go well again up 4 lb. Made an immediate impact over fences with a narrow success off 4lb lower at Stratford.
7 (7) (13/2 +59%) Forcing Bull	6.5 13/2(+59%)	(7) Forcing Bull 13/2, Won a pair of 17f Sedgefield novice hurdles in March 2023. Showed some ability remains at Bangor 6 weeks ago but has stamina to prove upped in trip for chase debut. Dual hurdle winner but lost his form in that discipline; chase debut here.
1 (1) (8/1 +0%) Vicki Vale	8 8/1(+0%)	(1) Vicki Vale 8/1, Dual hurdles winner for Dan Skelton but didn't go on as perhaps was expected, proving particularly disappointing over fences the last twice. Bit to prove for new trainer on first run for 80 days. Dual hurdle winner but neither chase run for Dan Skelton was pretty.
2 (2) (9/1 -379%) Get Up Mush	9 9/1(-379%)	(2) Get Up Mush 9/1, Created a good impression in making a winning start over fences after 15 months off in C&D handicap 5 weeks ago, having had a breathing operation whilst out of action, jumping fluently in the main and scoring a shade cosily. Sure to progress and takes on novices now. 2m5f winner here last month on chase debut after an absence; did it cosily.
6 (6) (14/1 +13%) Basford	14 14/1(+13%)	(6) Basford 14/1, Scored 3 times over hurdles last summer at up to 3m. Well held the last twice though and more needed now going chasing. Good mark if getting himself back on track now chasing but he does arrive here cold.
4 (4) (66/1 -313%) Top Speed	66 66/1(-313%)	(4) Top Speed 66/1, A fairly useful winning 2m hurdler at his best for Henry De Bromhead. Looked very rusty after 6 months off reverted to fences for his British debut at Bangor for new yard, soon behind and never involved. Now fitted with cheekpieces and this should reveal more. Hurdle winner in Ireland; return to fences on stable debut was forgettable..
5 (5) (450/1 -11150%) Rathmacknee	450 450/1(-11150%)	(5) Rathmacknee 450/1, Mixed record over hurdles for Nicky Henderson in 2022-2023 and has re-found some form, seeing things out much better back down in trip for his chasing debut at Ffos Las (2m) 6 weeks ago. Not completely ruled out back up in distance. Stayed on well for fourth on chase debut and returning to further looks a positive.

17:35 Uttoxeter Handicap Chase (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

After undergoing wind surgery, GET UP MUSH returned from over a year off the track to score by half a length over 2m5f here and he was only put up 5lb for that victory. Dan Skelton's six-year-old makes only his second handicap start and he could prove very hard to beat. Golfe Clair made a winning chase debut at Stratford in May and he would be foolish to dismiss off 4lb higher, while Deerstalker can fight it out for the minor honours in first-time cheekpieces.

There is plenty more to come from GET UP MUSH over fences if he stands his racing and he can follow up last month's cosy win here. Golfe Clair made a successful start over the larger obstacles himself at Stratford and should go well again. Rathmacknee isn't without a chance back up in trip after showing a bit on his chase debut at Ffos Las.

Preference is for RATHMACKNEE who ran a positive first race over fences at Ffos Las when finding 2m too sharp a test.

17:45 Tramore Maiden 12f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
2 (2) (4/11 +82%) Carlo Bianconi	0.363636 4/11(+82%)	(2) Carlo Bianconi 4/11, Fairly useful gelding. 6/1, respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at the Curragh (12f, good) 9 days ago. Yard having good spell. Leading claims back in a maiden (was first past post in Sligo handicap in May). Handicap form has not quite matched his best maiden runs, leading chance in this company.
4 (4) (16/5 -28%) Kings Hill	3.2 16/5(-28%)	(4) Kings Hill 16/5, Useful jumps winner, making GB/IRE Flat debut. Fourth of 24 in listed handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.7f, good to soft, 14/1) 70 days ago. Classy jumper, well worth a look. Useful young handicap hurdler, ran a fine race at the Punchestown festival, interesting.
8 (8) (7/2 -56%) Stariam	3.5 7/2(-56%)	(8) Stariam 7/2, Lightly-raced filly. Good second of 8 in maiden at Down Royal (12.8f, good, 13/2) 17 days ago, no match for winner. Respected. Runner-up three times, good chance now after her run behind a smart mare at Down Royal.
3 (3) (15/2 -7%) Churchwarden	7.5 15/2(-7%)	(3) Churchwarden 15/2, 4/1, third of 7 in novice hurdle at Bellewstown (17.2f, good to firm) 3 days ago. Fair on the Flat, creditable on last Flat run. Ran over hurdles at Bellewstown on Saturday, well held by Stariam on running at Down Royal.
6 (6) (20/1 -43%) Soldier Solid	20 20/1(-43%)	(6) Soldier Solid 20/1, Fairly useful jumps winner, making GB/IRE Flat debut after 16 months off. Makes Flat debut, absent since landing a maiden hurdle at Punchestown early last year.
1 (1) (28/1 -40%) Black Heather	28 28/1(-40%)	(1) Black Heather 28/1, Third of 9 in bumper (22/1) at Kilbeggan (16f, good) 37 days ago, travelling as well as any but dropping away final 1f. Third at Kilbeggan on the most recent of three bumper runs, this trip may be inadequate.
5 (5) (28/1 +15%) Single Edition	28 28/1(+15%)	(5) Single Edition 28/1, Fair winner at 16f in bumpers. Fourteenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.8f, good, 20/1) 63 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Bumper winner who has been placed over hurdles, posed no threat on AW on only Flat start.
7 (7) (28/1 +15%) Fanaigi Linn	28 28/1(+15%)	(7) Fanaigi Linn 28/1, Fair filly. Remains a maiden after 11 Flat runs. Off 95 days. Unplaced in 11 starts, showed some potential when with Jim Bolger but seems regressive now.

17:45 Tramore Maiden 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

STARIAM wouldn't be winning out of turn here having been runner-up on her last three outings. The Sea The Stars filly bumped into a smart sort last time when chasing home Magical Zoe at Down Royal and this looks like a winnable opportunity now. Her 5lb fillies allowance may prove crucial against Carlo Bianconi, who is rated a couple of pounds superior. The Galiway gelding has also been knocking on the door and ran with credit in a very competitive handicap on Derby Day at the Curragh last time. Kings Hill, a smart horse over hurdles, is an interesting one tried on the level now.

KINGS HILL is a classy jumper and is taken to make a winning start in this sphere. Carlo Bianconi is feared most ahead of Stariam.

Runner-up on three occasions STARIAM faces nothing of the calibre of smart hurdler Magical Zoe who beat her at Down Royal.

11 (11) (18/1 -80%) Naina	18 18/1(-80%)	(11) Naina 18/1, Thrice-raced filly. 11/1, eleventh of 14 in maiden at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Others are more persuasive. Showed there was a race in her when third here in May; place claims..

5 (5) (150/1 -1775%) Tactical Plan	150 150/1(-1775%)	(5) Tactical Plan 150/1, Twice-raced colt. 11/2, tenth of 14 in maiden at Kempton (7f) 13 days ago. Showed a bit on debut and it's too soon to write him off. Fourth on debut at Pontefract in May but hung right-handed on AW last time..
4 (4) (200/1 -7900%) Iffraaj Power	200 200/1(-7900%)	(4) Iffraaj Power 200/1, Foaled February 18. Iffraaj colt. Brother to smart 2-y-o 7f/1m winner Powerful Breeze and half-brother to several winners, including useful winner up to 7f Lovely Breeze. Appealing newcomer. Stable has had numerous 2yo winners this year; should make his presence felt on debut..
9 (9) (200/1 -3233%) Theatrically	200 200/1(-3233%)	(9) Theatrically 200/1, Modest filly. Last of 6 in minor event (18/1) at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Needs the headgear to perk her up. Yet to be placed from five starts, she was last of six at Newmarket last month..

17:55 Brighton Maiden (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

A far from daunting standard is set by those with experience, so a chance can be taken on IFFRAAJ POWER. George Boughey's debutant, a brother to the talented Powerful Breeze, makes plenty of appeal on paper and he would not need to be anything out of the ordinary to make an immediate impact. A step up in trip and the addition of first-time cheekpieces could unlock some improvement within Pay Attention and he could be the main danger. Great David is also noted.

IFFRAAJ POWER and Great David are both appealing newcomers in a race where the bar isn't set very high, but the first-named has the speedier pedigree and gets marginal preference. Unknown Journey is the pick of those with experience.

George Boughey has been prolific with his 2yos this year so IFFRAAJ POWER is favoured over fellow debutant Great David.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 (1) (2/1 +56%) Secret Trix	2 2/1(+56%)	(1) Secret Trix 2/1, Thrived with cheekpieces fitted last season, scoring 4 times, and ran right up to best when second of 6 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (26.4f, good) 38 days ago. Had wind operation since and looks sure to make his presence felt again. Landed a good prize in March and ran just as well when second last month; big player.
12 (12) (11/4 -38%) Kitesurfer	2.75 11/4(-38%)	(12) Kitesurfer 11/4, French juvenile winner in 2022 who got off the mark at the fifth time of asking for current yard when taking 6-runner handicap hurdle at Fontwell (25.8f, good to firm) 27 days ago. 5 lb rise fair and holds strong follow-up claims. Low-mileage 5yo who opened British account with ready success at Fontwell last month.
2 (2) (15/2 +46%) Jet Of Magic	7.5 15/2(+46%)	(2) Jet Of Magic 15/2, Won over C&D a year ago and looked like following up later in the month, only for an unfortunate slip of the saddle unseating his jockey. Had a forgettable season thereafter, however, and again held back by his jumping on return in May. Ran okay in May, after a break, and now on same mark as for last summer's C&D win.
9 (9) (8/1 -14%) Royal Pretender	8 8/1(-14%)	(9) Royal Pretender 8/1, Not at his best in 3 runs so far this year but his latest third over C&D (good) was at least a step back in the right direction and, eased 3 lb since, he's now 7 lb lower than when going close at Exeter in October. Shortlisted. Took step back in right direction when third over C&D in June but has not won since 2021.
11 (11) (11/1 +45%) Mr Muldoon	11 11/1(+45%)	(11) Mr Muldoon 11/1, Solid third in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (21.5f) back from a break in October but he has struggled since, with no signs of an imminent revival when pulled up at Chepstow on return from another break in April. Badly out of sorts since his Newton Abbot third in the autumn.
4 (4) (14/1 -40%) The Bull Mccabe	14 14/1(-40%)	(4) The Bull Mccabe 14/1, Tricky customer but produced a career best when returning from 6-month break to score over fences at Cheltenham in April and wasn't disgraced when runner-up at Ffos Las latest. 7 lb lower over hurdles and not discounted. Had wind operation. Won over fences at Chelteham in April 2022; returns from 768-day absence here.
3 (3) (16/1 +20%) Caius Marcius	16 16/1(+20%)	(3) Caius Marcius 16/1, Admirable veteran who bagged a 21f Newton Abbot handicap hurdle last summer and was given a considerate reappearance at Hexham last month. Others more appealing, though. Teenager with 17 wins on his CV; well beaten last month, after a break.
5 (5) (20/1 -233%) Wonderwall	20 20/1(-233%)	(5) Wonderwall 20/1, Bit disappointing over fences last time but had posted solid placed efforts over hurdles at Aintree/Cartmel previously and warrants respect. Disappointing in a chase last month but a player if judged on his two hurdle runs in May.
7 (7) (100/1 -525%) Lord Accord	100 100/1(-525%)	(7) Lord Accord 100/1, Multiple winner over hurdles/fences but rather went off the boil last term and has something to prove back from 5-month absence here. Lost his way over fences last season but given good chance by the handicapper over hurdles.
6 (6) (150/1 -1900%) Champagne Court	150 150/1(-1900%)	(6) Champagne Court 150/1, Last victory came in this sphere back in 2022 and has largely performed with credit over fences since. On a lenient mark if first-time blinkers have desired effect back over the smaller obstacles. On the downgrade now but ran well in last three chases and will be fine back over hurdles.
8 (8) (200/1 -700%) Butler's Brief	200 200/1(-700%)	(8) Butler's Brief 200/1, Got back on the scoreboard at Kelso in November but wasn't in same form at Bangor/Doncaster the following month and makes limited appeal on back of disappointing return at Stratford last month. Won this race on heavy ground a year ago but has become a hard horse to predict.
10 (10) (450/1 -2150%) Storm Nelson	450 450/1(-2150%)	(10) Storm Nelson 450/1, Won 5 of his 8 starts during a very good spell with Sandy Thomson. Far more miss than hit for current stable, though, and was well held in first-time blinkers (retained) here last month. Regressive 11yo who was safely held when fourth over C&D last month; needs to raise game.

18:05 Uttoxeter Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 23f Race Class Flow

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

Kitesurfer was a commanding winner at Fontwell last time out and although he's respected, consistency hasn't been his strong suit and it is SECRET TRIX that shades preference. Olly Murphy's charge has been on an upwards curve since winning at Southwell in May of last year, he bumped into an improver at Stratford last month but he could go one better today. Wonderwall might not be far away either.

KITESURFER was clearly suited by the step up in trip when readily scoring at Fontwell last month and still looks nicely treated, despite a 5 lb rise for that victory. He can go in again. Royal Pretender and Secret Trix rate the principal dangers.

Preference is for KITESURFER, who was not an instant success for Jamie Snowden but quickened nicely clear at Fontwell last month.

18:15 Tramore Handicap 12f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 (1) (5/4 +17%) Fairytale Princess	1.25 5/4(+17%)	(1) Fairytale Princess 5/4, Latest win at the Curragh in May. Good fourth of 12 in handicap at Ballinrobe (13f, good, 8/1) 15 days ago and this is an easier race. Has nearly 4l to make up on No Niki No from Ballinrobe last time and only 2lb better off.
2 (2) (7/4 -7%) No Niki No	1.75 7/4(-7%)	(2) No Niki No 7/4, Good second of 12 in handicap (22/1) at Ballinrobe (13f, good) 15 days ago. Expected to make a bold bid from the front. Caught late on over 1m5f at Ballinrobe last time and capable of a big run raised 1lb.
3 (3) (8/1 -129%) Vidisha	8 8/1(-129%)	(3) Vidisha 8/1, 9/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Gowran (14f, good) 22 days ago, needing stiffer test. Stable having good spell but drop in trip is a concern. The best of two Irish efforts was over 1m6f at Gowran last time; needs more down just 1lb.
4 (4) (17/2 +6%) Hasten Slowly	8.5 17/2(+6%)	(4) Hasten Slowly 17/2, 28/1, won 11-runner claimer at Limerick (11.5f, good to firm) 27 days ago. This is a better race but she can remain competitive. Won a Limerick claimer over just short of this trip last time; best form is on fast ground.
5 (5) (12/1 +52%) As Fast As Wind	12 12/1(+52%)	(5) As Fast As Wind 12/1, Eleventh of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (8f, 40/1). Off 158 days. Significantly back up in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time but mark looks too high on recent form. Maiden was below form when last seen at Dundalk and cheekpieces need to spark a revival.

18:15 Tramore Handicap 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A confirmed front-runner who was just denied in similar company at Ballinrobe last time, NO NIKI NO can gain compensation. The Eoghan O'Neill-trained mare disappointed at Goodwood on her previous start but had gone close at Sligo on her seasonal reappearance prior to that. On a tight right-handed track that favours prominent racers, the eight-year-old has much to recommend her. Fairytale Princess, a winner at the Curragh on Guineas weekend, was behind No Niki No at Ballinrobe last time. However, at these revised weights the Ger Lyons-trained filly can make a race of it. Limerick Claiming race winner Hasten Slowly will need to improve in order to feature in this stronger grade but at least she arrives here in good form.

NO NIKI NO Is an uncomplicated ride and dominating a smaller field than she is used to encountering looks a distinct possibility. Fairytale Princess finished behind the selection last time but it was another very good effort, while Vidisha will be plugging on back in trip.

NO NIKI NO(nap)'s tactical speed will be a big asset at this track and she can confirm Ballinrobe with Fairytale Princess.

Form	Odds	Runs
5 (5) (6/5 +64%) Believe You Me	1.2 6/5(+64%)	(5) Believe You Me 6/5, Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good, 14/1) 20 days ago. Entitled to have a say in the finish off the same mark here, with this drop back in trip a likely plus. Has run well to finish in the frame on her last two starts but may be best over 1m..
2 (2) (5/1 +0%) Capuchinero	5 5/1(+0%)	(2) Capuchinero 5/1, 10/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 8 days ago, never nearer. Should be on the premises once more. Yet to win on turf; third at Wolverhampton last week; others look less exposed..
3 (3) (11/2 -57%) Placeholder	5.5 11/2(-57%)	(3) Placeholder 11/2, Twice-raced winner. Evens, last of 4 in minor event at Newcastle (8f) when last seen in October. Hood on 1st time for this seasonal reappearance/handicap bow. Made a winning debut at Newcastle last September but last of four back there next time..
1 (1) (25/1 -1011%) Electric Avenue	25 25/1(-1011%)	(1) Electric Avenue 25/1, Promising type. Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at this C&D (good, 7/1) 21 days ago. Hard to grumble with a 2 lb rise and she's unexposed on turf. Got off the mark on her turf debut over C&D last month; raised only 2lb..
4 (4) (250/1 -6150%) Mizuumi	250 250/1(-6150%)	(4) Mizuumi 250/1, Thrice-raced winner. 12/1, fifth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 13 days ago. Likely to find one or two too good. Made a winning debut at Kempton last December; hampered at the start last time..

18:25 Brighton Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

ELECTRIC AVENUE was on target over C&D three weeks ago, his first start on the grass, and given that he is open to further progress, a subsequent 2lb rise might prove lenient. Mizuumi showed promise at Kempton last time out and she warrants consideration from 1lb lower, as does Believe You Me, who could benefit from a drop in trip.

There may well be better to come from ELECTRIC AVENUE, who made a winning turf debut over this C&D three weeks ago and a 2 lb rise should be no barrier to further success. Believe You Me can be expected to benefit from this drop back in trip and is next on the list ahead of Capuchinero.

A tricky heat but recent C&D winner ELECTRIC AVENUE is preferred over Mizuumi who may have more to give.

Form	Odds	Runs
6 (6) (3/1 +70%) Tessy Lad	3 3/1(+70%)	(6) Tessy Lad 3/1, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat for Richard Hughes in 2022/23. Has essentially disappointed so far for this yard. but second of 10 in handicap chase at Market Rasen (17.2f, good) on debut over fences 2 days ago. Not discounted on that. Not bred for fences but ran well in defeat on chasing debut at Market Rasen on Sunday.
4 (4) (3/1 +79%) Gieves	3 3/1(+79%)	(4) Gieves 3/1, Responded well to fitting of a hood when opening his account over hurdles in maiden company at Worcester (2m) last summer. Never had things go entirely his way in handicaps since but he needs to step up on his chase debut effort back at Worcester 38 days ago. Tongue tie added. Disappointing since maiden hurdle win in September; well beaten on recent chasing debut.
2 (2) (3/1 -50%) Theonlywayiswessex	3 3/1(-50%)	(2) Theonlywayiswessex 3/1, Dual AW Flat winner who opened his account over jumps in 9-runner handicap chase (4/1) at Stratford (17f, good to soft) 21 days ago, going clear. Remains unexposed in this sphere and needs considering up 9 lb. Came good over fences at third attempt, comfortably drawing clear at Stratford last month.
9 (9) (7/2 +75%) Pittsburg	3.5 7/2(+75%)	(9) Pittsburg 7/2, Dual chaser winner last summer. who also scored on AW in March. Exploits mixed since but did fare better than for a while when fifth over hurdles at Cartmel (17.2f) 11 days ago. Task is to build on that back over the larger obstacles. Not firing on all cylinders lately but on a good mark and worth a glance in the betting.
1 (1) (9/2 -35%) Neigh Botha	4.5 9/2(-35%)	(1) Neigh Botha 9/2, Winner of sole bumper start in February 2022 and confirmed more positive signs from last winter when making a winning return to action over fences at Southwell (15.8f) 4 weeks ago, by 5½ lengths from Abaya du Mathan. Up 8 lb but that may not prove his limit. Jumped better than in previous chases and won pretty easily at Southwell last month.
10 (10) (11/2 +45%) Contre Ordre	5.5 11/2(+45%)	(10) Contre Ordre 11/2, Capitalised on a career-low mark to land 17f Sedgefield handicap chase in November. Record has been typically mixed since, not at best despite making the placings when third at Cartmel (17.3f) in May. Has mixed record since Sedgefield win in November but last two runs were respectable.
3 (3) (7/1 -8%) Abaya Du Mathan	7 7/1(-8%)	(3) Abaya Du Mathan 7/1, Has done well since joining current connections, winning twice since January and holding his form well of late, 5½ lengths second of 10 to Neigh Botha in handicap chase at Southwell (15.8f, good) 28 days ago. In the mix again. Long in the tooth now but largely consistent since joining this stable in the autumn.
11 (11) (14/1 +58%) Full Of Light	14 14/1(+58%)	(11) Full Of Light 14/1, Fair hurdler/chaser at his peak who tumbled down the weights during a largely disappointing 2023/24 campaign. Overfaced at Cheltenham on final outing but did shape as if he'd come on for the run after 6 months off when seventh of 9 in handicap at Stratford (17f) 3 weeks ago. About 27l behind Theonlywayiswessex at Stratford last month and now 0-10 over fences.
8 (8) (16/1 +20%) Into The Sunset	16 16/1(+20%)	(8) Into The Sunset 16/1, Dual hurdles winner in 2022. Missed whole of last year and has yet to match his previous best in handful of hurdle outings in 4 starts this year. Betting may prove a useful guide as to expectations now attentions switch to larger obstacles. Makes chasing debut from a tempting mark but needs to get career back on track.
14 (14) (20/1 +39%) No Quarter Asked	20 20/1(+39%)	(14) No Quarter Asked 20/1, Sole win came in handicap chase at Ffos Las in June 2021. Runner-up a couple of times over the larger obstacles last winter but safely held over hurdles upon returning from a break in May. Good deal to prove returned to chasing/following wind surgery. Yet to add to small-field win in 2021; tailed off over hurdles on latest outing.
5 (5) (33/1 -65%) Sadies Diamond	33 33/1(-65%)	(5) Sadies Diamond 33/1, Irish raider who finished runner-up on first of 3 starts in bumpers. Limited impact over hurdles/fences since the spring, latterly making handicap debut over hurdles at Downpatrick 23 days ago. Would need to see market confidence behind her on handicap chase debut. Well beaten in three mares-only beginners' chases this spring; had a lot to prove.
12 (12) (80/1 -900%) Solid Fuel	80 80/1(-900%)	(12) Solid Fuel 80/1, Clearly fitter for his reappearance run when springing a surprise from out of the weights at Worcester (16.5f) 3 weeks ago, going on over 4 out and always holding on. Hasn't had many goes in this sphere and interesting if he can back that up. Off the mark at 22nd attempt with 40-1 success at Worcester last month.
7 (7) (250/1 -1150%) Groom De Cotte	250 250/1(-1150%)	(7) Groom De Cotte 250/1, Long-standing maiden who ended time with Sean Curran with a respectable third over hurdles at Stratford (22f) in May. However, ran no sort of race reverted to fences for new stable at Worcester 20 days ago. Good bit to prove on back of that. Placed over hurdles in May but tailed off when back over fences for recent stable debut.

18:35 Uttoxeter Handicap Chase (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

NEIGH BOTHA returned to action with a commanding success at Southwell last month and the unexposed chaser could have more to offer from an 8lb raised mark. Theonlywayiswessex recorded a wide-margin triumph of his own at Stratford three weeks ago and he is the most likely threat, while Into The Sunset warrants a market check ahead of his fencing bow.

THEONLYWAYISWESSEX has returned in good form, building on his previous chase effort when running out a comfortable winner at Stratford (17f) 21 days ago. That hasn't gone unnoticed by the assessor, yet Alan King's charge remains lightly raced in this sphere and earns the vote to follow up. Fellow last-time-out winners Neigh Botha and Solid Fuel are next best, with veteran Abaya du Mathan also fancied to give a good account.

Jumping was an issue for NEIGH BOTHA last season but he got his act together over fences with a convincing win at Southwell last month.

Form	Odds	Runs
6 (6) (5/2 +67%) Forlio	2.5 5/2(+67%)	(6) Forlio 5/2, Overcame a 19-month absence (well backed) when successful in 14-runner handicap at Limerick (11.2f) in May. May have found race coming too soon at Tipperary later that month and he's been given a 6-week break ahead of this. Bounce back distinctly possible. Won at Limerick on first run after long absence, unplaced at Tipperary since.
3 (3) (5/2 +17%) Desert Friend	2.5 5/2(+17%)	(3) Desert Friend 5/2, Won 11-runner handicap (11/2) at Ballinrobe (13f, good) 15 days ago, leading inside last ½f and pushed out. Possibilities again up 6 lb. Versatile sort, recent 1m5f Ballinrobe winner, may remain competitive off 6lb higher.
2 (2) (5/1 -82%) Expound	5 5/1(-82%)	(2) Expound 5/1, Won 8-runner maiden at Ballinrobe (9.7f, good, 5/1) 15 days ago, getting first run and all out to hold on. Should give another good account back in handicap company. Belatedly off the mark at Ballinrobe, beaten a neck by Dark Note here a year ago.
1 (1) (5/1 -25%) Dark Note	5 5/1(-25%)	(1) Dark Note 5/1, Hurdles winner who displayed a good attitude when landing this race 12 months ago. Largely held form well over hurdles earlier this year and he's best not judged too harshly on his chase debut effort at Tipperary 7 days ago. Type to bounce back. Beat Expound narrowly in this last year, ran well over hurdles on penultimate start.
5 (5) (15/2 -114%) Spy	7.5 15/2(-114%)	(5) Spy 15/2, Has proved temperamental but comes here in good nick, shaping better than bare result when seventh of 11 in handicap at Roscommon (10.3f, good to firm) 7 days ago, meeting trouble but finishing off his race well. One to note, particularly if the market speaks in his favour. Noted staying on at the finish at Roscommon last week, first Irish win could be imminent.
7 (7) (33/1 +0%) Rushford	33 33/1(+0%)	(7) Rushford 33/1, 15½ lengths ninth of 11 to Desert Friend in handicap at Ballinrobe (13f, good, 28/1) 15 days ago, weakening final 1f. Good deal to prove at present. Hard to fancy having finished down the field behind Desert Friend at Ballinrobe.
8 (8) (33/1 +0%) Kings Prince	33 33/1(+0%)	(8) Kings Prince 33/1, Twenty runs since last win in 2021. Fifteenth of 16 in handicap at Limerick (17f, good to firm, 66/1) 27 days ago. Back down in trip. Second in two handicaps last season but has been struggling this year.
4 (4) (33/1 -313%) Snapius	33 33/1(-313%)	(4) Snapius 33/1, 50/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at the Curragh (10f, good to soft) 10 days ago, leading briefly 2f out and weakening soon after. Others more persuasive. Two Flat wins for Joseph O'Brien, out of form since placed over 1m2f at Ayr last year.

18:45 Tramore Handicap 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Runner-up to Dark Note here 12 months ago, EXPOUND may be able to turn the tables. Conceding 3lb to the winner on that occasion, the Denis Hogan-trained gelding can race off level weights now with Daniel King claiming an additional 5lb. Having opened his account in a Ballinrobe maiden last time, the five-year-old arrives here in winning form. The aforementioned Dark Note has to be a live contender given his proven ability to handle this track. Andrew Slattery's five-year-old was pulled up over fences last time but had been second over hurdles on his penultimate start. The Night Of Thunder gelding will almost certainly be prominent from the outset. Limerick winner Forlio has to have every chance with Colin Keane retaining the ride on the Paul Flynn-trained gelding.

EXPOUND is versatile as regards trip and having belatedly opened his account in a Ballinrobe maiden 2 weeks ago, he shades the vote to continue the good work returned to handicaps. Fellow last-time-out winner Desert Friend and last year's winner Dark Note head up the dangers, with Spy another to note.

There is probably a race of this standard to be won with SPY who has given the impression that this trip will help his cause

First run for yard after leaving Michael Wigham. Isn't an easy ride but possesses her share of ability at this level. Up 1 lb for that facile success. Showed improvement when winning easily on soft going at Leicester in April; stable debut..
2 (2) (7/2 -17%) Shalfa	3.5 7/2(-17%)	(2) Shalfa 7/2, Two wins from 5 runs this year. Career best when winning 6-runner handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 12/1) 36 days ago by ¾ length from Uncle Dick. 2 lb rise won't prevent a very bold follow-up bid. Recorded her second win over C&D when making all to hold off Uncle Dick last month..
1 (1) (13/2 -136%) Uncle Dick	6.5 13/2(-136%)	(1) Uncle Dick 13/2, Six-time course winner. 3 wins from 11 runs this year. Won 6-runner handicap (17/2) at this course (8f, good to firm) 7 days ago, slowly away as is often the case with him. Carries penalty back up in trip but likely to give his running again. Course specialist (six wins) who produced a career-best effort to win here last week..

Cheekpieces on for first time, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 16/1) 7 days ago, taking time to get going. 18-race maiden; beaten a short head over C&D in April but gone off the boil since..

18:55 Brighton Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

UNCLE DICK took advantage of having a strong pace to aim at when arriving late to score by half a length over a mile here last week and he should have no issues with the step back up in trip. The six-year-old carries a 5lb penalty for that victory but it may not be enough to stop him from following up. His main threat might be Bletchley Storm, who was victorious at Leicester when last seen in April and she is an interesting contender on her first start for the George Baker yard. Of the remainder, Luna Effect makes the most appeal.

Course specialists SHALFA and Uncle Dick clash again with the former taken to uphold the form of their latest clash on these terms. Bletchley Storm was impressive at Leicester so has to be feared starting out for a new yard, as does Luna Effect.

Course specialist Uncle Dick is thriving at present but he was unable to beat SHALFA here last month and is 2lb worse off.

Now looks weighted to strike. Back in form with strong-finishing third over C&D last month, and remains well handicapped.
9 (9) (7/2 +65%) Daany	3.5 7/2(+65%)	(9) Daany 7/2, Finally off the mark at Wincanton in January but in-and-out form since. One of better effort when fourth at Newton Abbot but he's always vulnerable in the latter stages given free-going nature. Gave decent account at Newton Abbot last month but others appeal more all the same.
11 (11) (17/2 -13%) Cofficionado	8.5 17/2(-13%)	(11) Cofficionado 17/2, On the back of a breathing operation he found only one too good at Market Rasen in May. Badly hampered returned to that venue since so that effort easy to excuse. Went close on handicap debut in May; below that form since but still enters calculations.
3 (3) (12/1 -20%) Kentucky Bluegrass	12 12/1(-20%)	(3) Kentucky Bluegrass 12/1, Fairly useful on the Flat for David O'Meara and left his previous hurdling efforts behind when third in a Hereford maiden in May. Didn't make much impact in a C&D handicap a month ago but he's not discounted given his ability on the level. Only seventh over C&D on handicap debut but wasn't beaten far and may still have potential.
10 (10) (20/1 -25%) Berliet Express	20 20/1(-25%)	(10) Berliet Express 20/1, Minor promise only over fences for this yard but assessor has at least given him every chance on first hurdles outing since October 2022. Had excuse when pulled up over fences last month but remains without a win since 2022.
2 (2) (20/1 +0%) Iolaos Du Mou	20 20/1(+0%)	(2) Iolaos Du Mou 20/1, Bumper winner on debut and encouragement when runner-up on his first 2 completed starts over hurdles last season. Ended time for Nicky Henderson in disappointing fashion sent handicapping and didn't show a great deal on last month's stable debut/reappearance, either. Disappointed in both handicaps for Nicky Henderson and has since made low-key stable debut.
12 (12) (22/1 +12%) Saved Lizzie	22 22/1(+12%)	(12) Saved Lizzie 22/1, Big prices all starts and just minor promise only so far. Ran well to a point on last month's handicap debut but needs improvement here.
1 (1) (100/1 -733%) Fort Randall	100 100/1(-733%)	(1) Fort Randall 100/1, Displayed ability in bumpers but he's been disappointing over obstacles so far. Eases in class switched to Britain and he's worth a check in the betting. Irish-raider; unplaced all six hurdling starts but well worth a glance in the betting.
4 (4) (125/1 -3025%) City Of Ruins	125 125/1(-3025%)	(4) City Of Ruins 125/1, Promise in juvenile hurdles for Donald McCain last summer. Ignored in the betting but sound start for new yard when third on handicap debut at Southwell a month ago. One to consider. Outran 33-1 odds when placed on last month's stable/hurdle debut; a possible.
5 (5) (250/1 -2400%) Bingo Little	250 250/1(-2400%)	(5) Bingo Little 250/1, Little in the way of solid form for Ben Pauling. Switches to a handicap on return from a break for new yard with tongue tie back on. Did not show a great deal in novice/maiden hurdles for Ben Pauling; stable/handicap debut.
6 (6) (300/1 -9900%) Cher Tara	300 300/1(-9900%)	(6) Cher Tara 300/1, Didn't look an easy ride but produced her best effort yet when runner-up on second handicap start at Market Rasen last month. Repeat display will see her in the mix again. With a top stable, and last month's Market Rasen second suggested her turn is near.
8 (8) (350/1 -600%) Seaborough	350 350/1(-600%)	(8) Seaborough 350/1, Arrives well out of sorts, pulled up twice and soon beaten despite completing at Ludlow latest. Has very modest strike-rate and was badly out of form when last seen in the autumn.
13 (13) (350/1 -600%) African Sun	350 350/1(-600%)	(13) African Sun 350/1, Won this race in 2022 but very little to shout about since. Won this race in 2022 but yet to add to that success; difficult to enthuse over.

19:05 Uttoxeter Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

CITY OF RUINS made a pleasing return to action when finishing third at Southwell last month and it would come as no surprise were he to step forward in a relatively moderate event. Cher Tara struck the woodwork at Market Rasen recently and she looks set to play a leading role for the Dan Skelton team. Rock On Tommy heads the remainder.

ROCK ON TOMMY won a brace of C&D handicaps this time last year, and having more than stopped the slide back here last month in re-fitted blinkers, he's now too well weighted to ignore. Cher Tara is feared most, though Kentucky Bluegrass should have a bigger performance in him given his Flat ability.

Last year's winner ROCK ON TOMMY (nap) signalled a return to form when coming from a poor position to take third here last month.

19:15 Tramore Handicap 12f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
3 (3) (3/1 -9%) Chutzpal	3 3/1(-9%)	(3) Chutzpal 3/1, First run since leaving Eoin Doyle when respectable fourth of 16 in handicap (3/1) at Fairyhouse (12f, good) 32 days ago. Blinkers back on and he's a key player. An encouraging comeback over this trip on stable debut at Fairyhouse and has a solid shout.
1 (1) (7/2 +0%) Metamorpheus	3.5 7/2(+0%)	(1) Metamorpheus 7/2, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Fairly useful 2m hurdles winner. Good fifth of 13 in handicap (17/2) at Listowel (16.2f, good) 37 days ago. Back down in trip and should make his presence felt. Rated 117 over hurdles; ran respectably on Flat handicap debut over 2m; shorter trip suit.
8 (8) (9/2 +0%) Contrapposto	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(8) Contrapposto 9/2, One win from 48 Flat runs, which was gained back in 2016. Won 15-runner handicap hurdle at Cork (16.9f, good to soft, 9/2) 4 days ago. Would have a serious chance if in a similar mood back on the level. Hurdle winner four days ago but is only 1-46 on Flat turf, albeit fairly consistent.
6 (6) (15/2 -88%) No Trouble	7.5 15/2(-88%)	(6) No Trouble 15/2, Twenty runs since last win in 2022. 14/1, creditable second of 10 in handicap at Bellewstown (12.2f, good) 4 days ago, finding less than looked likely. Enters calculations. Solid run over this trip at Bellewstown four days ago and can go well if repeating that.
7 (7) (10/1 +60%) Astrophysicist	10 10/1(+60%)	(7) Astrophysicist 10/1, 25/1, respectable seventh of 14 in handicap at Sligo (10.6f, good to soft) 65 days ago. Has work to do in order to get his head in front here. Decent hurdle run at this track in April but below form on the Flat at Sligo since.
2 (2) (10/1 -67%) Tudor Manor	10 10/1(-67%)	(2) Tudor Manor 10/1, Winner at Leopardstown in May. Eleventh of 15 in handicap (13/2) at Fairyhouse (12f, good) 25 days ago. Others preferred. Won a Leopardstown handicap over this trip but questions after a poor Fairyhouse run.
4 (4) (10/1 -43%) Butterfly Garden	10 10/1(-43%)	(4) Butterfly Garden 10/1, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 28/1, creditable sixth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (12f). Off 137 days. Each-way chance if raring to go. C&D winner in 2022; regressive last year while running well at times; needs return to form.
5 (5) (12/1 +25%) Action Motion	12 12/1(+25%)	(5) Action Motion 12/1, Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. 50/1, pulled up in novice chase at Tipperary (19.4f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Best to look elsewhere. Maiden on the Flat after 18 starts and disappointing when last seen in this sphere.

19:15 Tramore Handicap 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

With the Kevin Prendergast stable hitting form of late, a chance is taken on BUTTERFLY GARDEN to add to her previous win at this venue. Successful off 7lb higher as a three-year-old, the daughter of Awtaad ran well subsequently off higher ratings. She has been off the track since an encouraging sixth at Dundalk back in February but has run well fresh in the past. Top-weight Metamorpheus rates a serious danger for the Paul Nolan stable. Fifth in a higher grade at Listowel last month, the gelding should be better suited to dropping back in trip here. No Trouble, who finished second at Bellewstown on Friday evening, should be involved if this race doesn't come too soon.

CHUTZPAL made an encouraging start for this yard following an absence of almost six months at Fairyhouse and he is a strong candidate with that run under his belt. It's been an awful long time since the 10-y-o Contrapposto registered his sole success on the Flat but he has to be feared off a lowly mark on the back of a victory over hurdles last week. No Trouble is best of the rest.

Having looked as if 2m was too far on handicap debut last time, METAMORPHEUS might be able to score down in trip and grade.

19:25 Brighton Stakes (Class 6) 8f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
7 (7) (15/8 +37%) Clear Justice	1.875 15/8(+37%)	(7) Clear Justice 15/8, Modest gelding. 1 win from 3 runs this year. 10/1, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at this course (9.9f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Has to be taken seriously. Best efforts have come here; major player if coping with drop back in trip and soft ground.
8 (8) (4/1 -20%) They	4 4/1(-20%)	(8) They 4/1, Modest filly. 7/2, respectable fourth of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 19 days ago, slowly away. Enters calculations given she's unexposed compared to a few of these. In the frame the last twice but wore cheekpieces which are missing today; further may suit.
4 (4) (10/1 +0%) Milvus	10 10/1(+0%)	(4) Milvus 10/1, Modest gelding. Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 8/1) 42 days ago. Still a maiden but can be a factor at this level. 0-13; close fourth in a Lingfield handicap last time, but still to prove his stamina.
3 (3) (25/1 -108%) Letter Of The Law	25 25/1(-108%)	(3) Letter Of The Law 25/1, Modest gelding. C&D winner. Two wins from 42 Flat runs. Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. Seventh of 9 in handicap (11/2) at Chepstow (8.1f, good) 22 days ago. Needs to leave that well behind. Usually runs well here; no surprise if he performs better back down in class returned here.
2 (2) (28/1 -211%) Headshot	28 28/1(-211%)	(2) Headshot 28/1, Modest gelding. Latest win at Southwell in March. Bit below form sixth of 11 in minor event (14/1) at Newcastle (7.1f). Off 109 days but he represents yard with superb Brighton record. Off 109 days and has no great record fresh; soft ground would be another question mark.
6 (6) (33/1 -725%) Top Button	33 33/1(-725%)	(6) Top Button 33/1, 6/1, good second of 11 in minor event at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago, finishing well. Unexposed on turf so he's on the shortlist back up in trip. 0-13 but shaped as though the return to 1m would suit when second last time; high on list.
5 (5) (66/1 -1786%) River Wharfe	66 66/1(-1786%)	(5) River Wharfe 66/1, Modest gelding. 7/2, won 5-runner handicap at this course (7f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Didn't look an easy ride but he's fit and in form. Both turf wins have come here including last time; ran okay on soft ground last summer.
1 (1) (80/1 -142%) He's Our Star	80 80/1(-142%)	(1) He's Our Star 80/1, C&D winner. Ninth of 12 in minor event at Lingfield (11.6f, good to firm, 80/1) 17 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Blinkers back on but has work to do on these terms. Moderate since winning here last August; plenty to find, even at this level.

19:25 Brighton Stakes (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

LETTER OF THE LAW stumbled leaving the stalls when putting in a poor effort at Chepstow last time, but he finished second in this grade prior to that and he goes off the same mark today. John O'Shea's charge is a previous C&D winner and he could get his head back in front. The main danger might be Clear Justice, who accounted for his nearest rival by just over a length when scoring over 1m2f here last time and the drop in trip shouldn't pose him many problems, so he has to be considered. Headshot isn't out of it either.

TOP BUTTON hasn't had much exposure on turf and having stuck to his task pretty well over 7f at Leicester last time, is just about the most persuasive option upped slightly in trip. Clear Justice and They head the opposition.

It may be worth siding with TOP BUTTON who shaped as though the return to 1m would suit when a close second at Lingfield last time.

19:35 Uttoxeter Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
6 (6) (10/3 +33%) Dreaming Diamond	3.333333 10/3(+33%)	(6) Dreaming Diamond 10/3, Pulled up both starts in hunters for Paul King but showed more when third back hurdling on first start since rejoining this yard at Huntingdon in May. Though not in the same form over fences next time, she could have a part to play back in this sphere. Engaged 5.25 Worcester Monday. Becoming hard to predict and was comfortably held at Worcester yesterday.
4 (4) (4/1 +0%) Double Oban	4 4/1(+0%)	(4) Double Oban 4/1, Fair on the Flat at up to 14.5f for Hugo Palmer and made the frame in couple of 2m novice events at Worcester switched to hurdles last month. Very much the type to up his game now pitched into a handicap in this sphere and it'll be interesting to see if there's confidence behind him in the betting. 1m4f winner for Hugo Palmer; some aptitude for hurdling in two novices at Worcester.
2 (2) (6/1 -50%) Chef De Troupe	6 6/1(-50%)	(2) Chef De Troupe 6/1, Didn't show much when returning from 11 months off on the Flat in May but in good heart back hurdling over this C&D the last twice, landing a 6-runner handicap on soft ground prior to going close in another on good last month. Up a total of 9 lb but likely to be in the mix once again. Late mistake perhaps cost him the race here last month; only 2lb higher.
10 (10) (8/1 -60%) Harry Gulliver	8 8/1(-60%)	(10) Harry Gulliver 8/1, Shaped pretty well on hurdles debut in a Chepstow maiden last spring. Beaten a long way next 2 starts but was in the process of producing a much-improved effort on his handicap bow at Southwell (15.8f, good) where he was in a share of second when falling at the last. One to consider. In the process of showing vast improvement when falling late on at Southwell.
7 (7) (17/2 -13%) Andapa	8.5 17/2(-13%)	(7) Andapa 17/2, Largely creditable efforts in defeat since winning back-to-back handicaps here in July 2021. Beaten 21 lengths when fourth on debut for new yard at Plumpton in May but she's entitled to come on for that (first run for 12 months) and the booking of Harry Cobden catches the eye. Well-held 4th after an absence and this 10yo may struggle to recapture her best form.
1 (1) (9/1 -29%) Sergeant	9 9/1(-29%)	(1) Sergeant 9/1, Consistent type who registered his latest success in a 2m Stratford handicap in September 2022. Creditable fourth at Taunton on his latest start and while that was 17 months ago, he resumes for new yard on an attractive mark Close to his best when fourth at Taunton (2m, good) when last seen in early 2023.
3 (3) (20/1 -25%) Baikal	20 20/1(-25%)	(3) Baikal 20/1, Won a maiden and handicap over 2m in the first half of last season but hasn't show much spark since returning from a break in May. Chance if getting back to the form of last September's Southwell win off 3lb higher.
9 (9) (28/1 -75%) George Mallory	28 28/1(-75%)	(9) George Mallory 28/1, Opened account over C&D last summer but looked badly in need of run, on first start since, when last of 13 at Cartmel at the end of May. Entitled to strip fitter here and booking of Brian Hughes can only be a good thing but one or two of these make more appeal. 1-17 as a hurdler; tailed off when reappearing after a break in a Cartmel selling handicap.
12 (12) (66/1 +0%) Gladys Eva Jane	66 66/1(+0%)	(12) Gladys Eva Jane 66/1, Fair form in bumpers for Peter Bowen (sold £5,000) but little promise over hurdles for this yard and she's 4 lb 'wrong' at the weights. Nine-race maiden who was 50-1 when pulled up at Stratford three weeks ago.
11 (11) (250/1 -1150%) Bella Madonna	250 250/1(-1150%)	(11) Bella Madonna 250/1, Poor form in bumpers and over hurdles thus far, and she showed no immediate benefit of a wind op when well held at Southwell last month. Hasn't been friendless in the betting for any of her handicaps but continues to disappoint.
5 (5) (350/1 -2088%) King And Queen	350 350/1(-2088%)	(5) King And Queen 350/1, Well below his best on the Flat when last seen at Galway back in July 2021 and hasn't made much of an impact in 8 starts over hurdles to date. Has mostly struggled over hurdles for this yard and has been off since 2021.
8 (8) (450/1 -5525%) Razzo Italiano	450 450/1(-5525%)	(8) Razzo Italiano 450/1, Scored at Southwell in November 2022. Sparingly campaigned and has largely struggled since, though his latest third off this reduced mark at Stratford (18.7f, good) represented a step back in the right direction. Place possibilities. Has improved with each run following a long absence but needs more.

19:35 Uttoxeter Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Sergeant was only beaten two and a half lengths over the extended 2m at Taunton when last seen in February last year and he could be in the shake-up after being dropped 5lb by the handicapper, but he may be susceptible to some race-fit rivals such as CHEF DE TROUPE. Tony Forbes' charge was only narrowly touched off over C&D last month and a 2lb rise in the ratings doesn't appear out of his reach. Harry Gulliver fell at the last when challenging over 2m at Southwell on his latest outing and he completes the shortlist.

Flat-winner DOUBLE OBAN is taken to make it third time lucky in this sphere. The 4-y-o showed promise in back-to-back novice events at Worcester and makes his handicap debut over hurdles on what could turn out to be a handy mark. Andapa is interesting with her reappearance spin at Plumpton under her belt (and with Harry Cobden booked), while Harry Gulliver's best days are surely still ahead of him and he also merits respect, along with Chef de Troupe and Sergeant.

The veteran CHEF DE TROUPE might have completed a course double but for fluffing the penultimate flight last month and he appeals most.

5 (5) (11/4 +31%) Narlita	2.75 11/4(+31%)	(5) Narlita 11/4, Bit below form sixth of 11 in handicap at Sligo (10.6f, good to soft, 11/2) 65 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Should strip fitter for that return and is worthy of interest. Not bad runs in defeat since winning last autumn; 3rd in a maiden at this track last year.
6 (6) (11/4 +45%) Rain	2.75 11/4(+45%)	(6) Rain 11/4, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Good fifth of 17 in handicap at the Curragh (16f, good, 14/1) 11 days ago, nearest finish. Has been holding her form well lately. Solid on all three tries this year; a chance but disappointed only run at this track.
3 (3) (3/1 -100%) Jabbar	3 3/1(-100%)	(3) Jabbar 3/1, Creditable third of 10 in handicap at Roscommon (12.1f, good, 3/1) 50 days ago, slowly away. Significantly up in trip. Has good chance on form. Won and runner-up over 1m4f at Roscommon; unraced beyond that trip but chance if he stays.
2 (2) (3.75/1 +46%) Nostra Casa	3.75 3.75/1(+46%)	(2) Nostra Casa 3.75/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Navan in April. Creditable sixth of 17 in handicap (14/1) at the Curragh (14f, soft) 44 days ago, never nearer. Not discounted. Won a Navan handicap over 1m5f on return; below that level off higher marks twice since.
4 (4) (17/2 -89%) New Year Honours	8.5 17/2(-89%)	(4) New Year Honours 17/2, 14/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (18.8f, good) 23 days ago. Booking of Kennedy a plus. Fairly useful on the Flat, good on last Flat run. Worth considering back in this sphere. Solid AW efforts last winter but questions after being pulled-up over hurdles on return.
1 (1) (10/1 +0%) Longclaw	10 10/1(+0%)	(1) Longclaw 10/1, Fourteenth of 17 in handicap (66/1) at the Curragh (16f, good) 11 days ago. Chance if rediscovering old form but has something to prove. In good form on AW last winter; can improve from his Curragh seasonal debut and a chance.

19:45 Tramore Handicap 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Bottom-weight RAIN is of interest. A step up to 2m saw her keep on for fifth in a valuable handicap at the Curragh and she looks well worth another crack over this distance. She has been placed four times in Ireland and did win over an extended 1m6f in France. Nostra Casa won over this trip at Thurles last season and that will really stand him in good stead for this test. Longclaw was well behind Rain at the Curragh, but should get to dictate his own fractions off the front in this small-field contest and is respected. Jabbar is markedly up in trip, but does know where the winning post is.

NARLITA was shaping up well towards the end of last season and she's likely to strip fitter for her reappearance, so she gets the nod ahead of Jabbar, who ran with credit at Roscommon last time. Rain should give another good account but doesn't appear to have much in hand.

A chance is taken on NARLITA to score up to a new trip. She handled this track when third in a maiden last year.

3 (3) (12/1 -433%) Marching Mac	12 12/1(-433%)	(3) Marching Mac 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Raced too freely when an encouraging fifth of 11 in handicap at Wetherby (7f, good to soft, 7/2) 28 days ago. Interesting now back down in trip.

19:55 Brighton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

MILLIETHEMOLLIE wasn't beaten far into third in this grade at Windsor last month and she goes off an unchanged mark today. With Jack Doughty claiming 5lb this time around, she could be the one to beat. Marching Mac was denied by a length when second over 7f here on his penultimate start and he would be foolish to dismiss off a 2lb higher rating, while first-time cheekpieces could eke out more from Lieutenant Rascal and he is another to note.

MARCHING MAC has races in him if settling down and gets the vote over Milliethemollie and Lieutenant Rascal.

The drop to 6f looks likely to suit MARCHING MAC who looked in good form at Wetherby and he is preferred to Lieutenant Rascal.

Represents an in-form stable and is worthy of interest if strong in the betting. Out of unraced half-sister to a useful hurdler; stable does quite well in summer bumpers.

11 (11) (12/1 -100%) Fully Gaden	12 12/1(-100%)	(11) Fully Gaden 12/1, Jack Hobbs colt. Dam unraced half-sister to fair 2½m hurdle winner Old Town Garde. Wears tongue strap.

Off mark in points at second attempt (May 27). One to consider. Won maiden point by 17l in May and makes rules debut in a modest bumper; interesting.
9 (9) (18/1 -13%) Everybodydancenow	18 18/1(-13%)	(9) Everybodydancenow 18/1, Half-brother to 3 winners, including smart hurdler Colin's Sister. No immediate encouragement when eighth at Worcester 20 days ago but may have learned from that. Well beaten on debut but is in good hands and has a good pedigree; should do better.
2 (2) (22/1 +12%) Dorans Cross	22 22/1(+12%)	(2) Dorans Cross 22/1, £50,000 3-y-o, Blue Bresil gelding. Brother to bumper winner/fair hurdler Sao Carlos. Pulled up all 3 starts in points (latest Apr 14). With up-and-coming stable for rules career but was pulled up in all three points.
7 (7) (25/1 -525%) Cloudy View	25 25/1(-525%)	(7) Cloudy View 25/1, Telescope gelding. Dam (h98), maiden hurdler (stayed 2½m), sister to fairly useful 2m hurdle winner Humphrey Bogart. Not an obvious sort on paper. Out of a sister to a Listed Flat winner but other newcomers appeal more all the same.
8 (8) (28/1 +15%) Drombeg Lad	28 28/1(+15%)	(8) Drombeg Lad 28/1, Linda's Lad gelding. Dam, modest 2m-21f hurdle winner, half-sister to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser (stayed 25f) Clifton Debut. Worth a market check for all that he'll probably need more time. Second foal from a point/hurdle winner; market support will make him of interest.
14 (14) (150/1 -1150%) Silver Pageant	150 150/1(-1150%)	(14) Silver Pageant 150/1, Cheap purchase who didn't show all that much when seventh at Southwell first time out. Will need to improve markedly if she's to feature. Shaped with some promise before weakening into seventh on debut at Southwell.
3 (3) (200/1 -1900%) Fan Magnet	200 200/1(-1900%)	(3) Fan Magnet 200/1, In the process of showing something (would have finished) when unseating at Bangor first time out. Likely to have benefited from that experience and is likely to make an impact. Beaten when unseating rider on debut but positives can still be drawn from that run.
12 (12) (250/1 -658%) Lizzie's Star	250 250/1(-658%)	(12) Lizzie's Star 250/1, Unplaced on completed start in a point and not all that much encouragement when down the field in a bumper at Worcester on Rules debut 8 days ago. Ninth of 12 (albeit not beaten that far) when 80-1 for recent rules debut at Worcester.
5 (5) (250/1 -7043%) Jour D'orage	250 250/1(-7043%)	(5) Jour D'orage 250/1, Great Pretender gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including fairly useful French chaser Top Secret and fairly useful chaser in France Bandit d'Ainay, stays 2¾m. Dam unraced. Likely to need time. Half-brother to two useful French chasers; stable 1-12 in bumpers during last five seasons.
1 (1) (400/1 -2757%) Ballytechno	400 400/1(-2757%)	(1) Ballytechno 400/1, Third sole start in Irish points and better effort in bumpers when fourth at Worcester 13 days ago. Can better that. Kept on for modest fourth at Worcester two weeks ago and has fair each-way claims here.

20:05 Uttoxeter NH Flat Race (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Having shown ability as well as signs of inexperience on his racecourse debut, FAN MAGNET looks primed to make a bold bid today. Stuart Crawford's runner unseated today's jockey Bryan Hughes when jumping a path towards the closing stages of that contest but he did travel with purpose for a long way and, with that experience under his belt, he appears capable of landing a prize of this nature. Newcomers Jehol De Thaix and Fiskardo are likely to pose the biggest threats to the selection.

JEHOL DE THAIX hails from a yard that does well in bumpers and this is a winnable race, so he's preferred to Fiskardo, another interesting newcomer on paper. Fan Magnet should improve from his debut and is arguably the pick of those with experience.

Jehol De Thaix looks interesting but CASTADRIFT won a maiden point by a wide margin in May and might be the answer.

20:20 Tramore Handicap 16f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
5 (5) (11/4 +50%) Young Lucy	2.75 11/4(+50%)	(5) Young Lucy 11/4, 10/1, eighth of 13 in handicap at Cork (10.1f, good to soft) 49 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Bumper winner/modest hurdler. Very interesting if the subject of market support with Colin Keane up. Modest form but seemed to be well fancied for a Tipperary engagement missed last week.
6 (6) (7/2 -5%) Spinning Web	3.5 7/2(-5%)	(6) Spinning Web 7/2, Respectable fifth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Tipperary (20.4f, good to soft, 11/4) 5 days ago. Up in trip. Tongue strap on 1st time. Enters calculations. Winning hurdler, has made the frame on last two Flat starts, may improve with tongue-tie.
8 (8) (9/2 +44%) Walnut Beach	4.5 9/2(+44%)	(8) Walnut Beach 9/2, Remains a maiden after 27 Flat runs. 5/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Gowran (14f, good) 22 days ago. Has good chance on pick of form. Chase winner on penultimate start, highly consistent on Flat last season without winning.
3 (3) (5/1 -43%) Rauzan	5 5/1(-43%)	(3) Rauzan 5/1, 10/1, much improved when winning 8-runner novice hurdle at Downpatrick (17.8f, good) 23 days ago, comfortably. Well treated returning to this sphere and worth taking a chance on. In good form over hurdles, backed up course success with Downpatrick win, strong chance.
1 (1) (8/1 -23%) Grann's Boy	8 8/1(-23%)	(1) Grann's Boy 8/1, 8/1, very good third of 14 in handicap at Navan (13f, good) 52 days ago. Up in trip. Solid claims. Heavy-ground Galway winner last autumn, good run on similar ground to this at Navan in May.
4 (4) (14/1 -211%) Calmafterthestorm	14 14/1(-211%)	(4) Calmafterthestorm 14/1, Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 13-runner handicap (33/1) at Down Royal (12.8f, good) 17 days ago. Up in trip. Should go well again. Sprang 33-1 shock on handicap/turf debut at Down Royal, further progress is feasible.
11 (11) (16/1 -33%) Craic Eile	16 16/1(-33%)	(11) Craic Eile 16/1, Second of 14 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (19.9f, good, 22/1) 2 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Tongue strap back on. Modest on the Flat, poor on last Flat outing. Potentially well treated if the race doesn't come too soon. Won twice over hurdles at this venue in 2021, back in form with good hurdles run on Sunday.
2 (2) (16/1 +36%) Nomenclature	16 16/1(+36%)	(2) Nomenclature 16/1, Ninth of 14 in handicap at Navan (13f, good, 18/1) 52 days ago. Up in trip. Needs to bounce back. Fair maiden form last season, disappointing in handicaps though may have needed Navan run.
7 (7) (20/1 -67%) Wild Shot	20 20/1(-67%)	(7) Wild Shot 20/1, C&D winner. Fourteenth of 16 in handicap (22/1) at Fairyhouse (12f, good) 32 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Rejoined yard after leaving Noel C. Kelly. Worth a market check. Recorded his 11th win when taking this race last year, poor run at Fairyhouse last time.
12 (12) (20/1 +39%) Katzoff	20 20/1(+39%)	(12) Katzoff 20/1, Very good second of 15 in handicap hurdle at Cork (16.9f, good to soft, 15/2) 4 days ago. Up in trip. Poor on last Flat outing. Versatile sort, still seeking a first win after 32 outings, second over hurdles on Friday.
9 (9) (25/1 +24%) Molly Hall	25 25/1(+24%)	(9) Molly Hall 25/1, 80/1, fifth of 13 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (18.9f, heavy) 145 days ago. Off 145 days. First run for yard after leaving Barry Fitzgerald. Modest on the Flat, respectable on last Flat run. Showed that she stays well when scoring at Clonmel last autumn, first run for this trainer.
10 (10) (28/1 +15%) Kashi	28 28/1(+15%)	(10) Kashi 28/1, 40/1, eleventh of 16 in handicap at Gowran (14f, heavy) 61 days ago. Others make more appeal. Two wins over hurdles, modest Flat form, hard to make a strong case for him.

20:20 Tramore Handicap 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

RAUZAN ran up a couple of victories over hurdles at this track and Downpatrick during May and June, so appeals off a mark of 61 on this return to the Flat. In addition, Wesley Joyce takes 5lb off his back. Calmafterthestorm came from a long way back to shed her maiden tag over an extended 1m4f in Down Royal, so you can see the reasoning behind the step up in trip. Grann's Boy is well versed in picking up prize money and another decent effort looks likely. Katzoff may only be rated 40, however, he was gambled on in a handicap hurdle at Cork and ran well in second which gives him a chance.

RAUZAN is handicapped to win in this sphere and has been thriving over hurdles, so he makes most appeal. A market move for Young Lucy with Colin Keane up would make that one very interesting. Grann's Boy and Calmafterthestorm arrive in good order and are feared.

A mistake two out proved costly for SPINNING WEB at Tipperary last week. Two Flat runs in May suggest he will be suited by this trip
