1st (8) Keep Warm (3.33/1 +5%)
Keep Warm

3.33
3.33/1(+5%)
(8) Keep Warm 3.33/1, Thrice-raced maiden who seemed unsuited by drop back in trip when third of 9 in maiden at Carlisle (good to soft) 13 days ago. Visor on first time. Looks a likely contender on first crack at handicapping.
Could be sharper in the first-time visor on this nursery debut and he's a possible.

2nd (7) Dan Dee Prince (7/1 +36%)
Dan Dee Prince

7
7/1(+36%)
(7) Dan Dee Prince 7/1, Acquitted himself well when third on debut here (5f) in April but hasn't built on that and cheekpieces are now reached for on handicap debut.
Down the field the last twice but gelded since and showed promise here on debut.
3
3rd (3) Star Of Lazise (7.5/1 +17%)
Star Of Lazise

7.5
7.5/1(+17%)
(3) Star Of Lazise 7.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Found shorter trip against him when last of 7 in minor event at Newcastle (5f) 10 days ago and can't be ruled out stepped up to 6f on handicap debut.
Signs of promise on the second of his first three runs and not ruled out now in a nursery.

Chat Up Line

14
14/1(-27%)
(9) Chat Up Line 14/1, No real impact in a trio of starts in maidens/minor events and opening mark could have been kinder on switch to handicapping. Hood on first time.
Not obviously well treated for nursery debut but half-sister to 4 winners; not written off.
6
5th (6) Mistress Teite (9/1 +10%)
Mistress Teite

9
9/1(+10%)
(6) Mistress Teite 9/1, Made the frame all 3 starts thus far, latest when third of 8 in maiden at Chelmsford City (6f) 33 days ago. More required on switch to handicapping here, however.
Has made the frame on all three starts and can give another good account on nursery debut.
1
6th (1) Celestial Flight (2.75/1 -22%)
Celestial Flight

2.75
2.75/1(-22%)
(1) Celestial Flight 2.75/1, Improved from debut run when taking 14-runner seller at York (6f, good to firm) 25 days ago, holding on gamely. Fairly treated on handicap debut and merits consideration.
Won the Rous Seller at York on his second start and he's respected in his first nursery.
10
7th (10) Mist Of Lir (12/1 +0%)
Mist Of Lir

12
12/1(+0%)
(10) Mist Of Lir 12/1, Has more experience than most but isn't progressing and the addition of blinkers had little effect at Beverley last time. Cheekpieces back on for handicap debut. Gelded since last seen.
Now 0-5 and has to turn things around on first run since being gelded.
2
8th (2) Kandy House (6/1 +25%)
Kandy House

6
6/1(+25%)
(2) Kandy House 6/1, Hasn't really progressed from her debut, left behind in final furlong at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) latest. May do better now switched to handicaps, though.
Hasn't gone on from debut third but on a fair mark now in a nursery and could be involved.
11
9th (11) Ifonlytheycudtalk (28/1 +15%)
Ifonlytheycudtalk

28
28/1(+15%)
(11) Ifonlytheycudtalk 28/1, Shown little in 3 outings to date and hopes may rest on addition of blinkers for handicap bow.
Well beaten at big odds on his three starts; plenty of improvement needed now in blinkers.
LTO Selection:

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

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

CELESTIAL FLIGHT built on his debut fifth at Beverley when showing a gritty attitude to get off the mark in a York seller last month. The son of Harry Angel begins life in nurseries off what appears to be a fair mark of 66 and he shades the vote from Kandy House, who has run with some promise to date and is open to further improvement. Mistress Teite and Keep Warm appeal most of the remainder.

KEEP WARM should relish the step back up in trip and looks fairly treated on his handicap debut. He gets the nod in a race where the market should provide plenty of clues. Celestial Flight and Time Signature are also of interest.

Having been gelded, DAN DEE PRINCE is taken to tap back into the promise of his debut third here in April.

1
(1) Tiffany (3/1 +14%)
Tiffany

3
3/1(+14%)
(1) Tiffany 3/1, Farhh filly who improved on first 2 starts when off the mark in an 11-runner Wolverhampton novice (7f) 15 days ago, staying on to lead final 100 yds. Still looked rough around the edges then and highly likely there's more to come now handicapping for shrewd stable.
Likely there's more to come, especially now she's handicapping and handed a stiffer test.
4
(4) Outgun (4/1 -14%)
Outgun

4
4/1(-14%)
(4) Outgun 4/1, Positives to glean from his 3 starts on the AW last year and shaped better than bare result on return/handicap debut when third at Newbury (1m) 26 days ago (first home in group). That should have brought him on and considered with further progress likely.
Pleasing comeback, faring best in his group despite pulling hard; open to improvement.
10
(10) Mathematician (5.5/1 -22%)
Mathematician

5.5
5.5/1(-22%)
(10) Mathematician 5.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 10 in minor event at Salisbury (7f, firm, 40/1) 28 days ago, off the pace halfway and noted making late headway. Longer trip a plus now handicapping and yard's runners always command respect.
Big prices for three starts to date (7f-1m); would want to see some support this time.
2
(2) Wadacre Gomez (8/1 +43%)
Wadacre Gomez

8
8/1(+43%)
(2) Wadacre Gomez 8/1, Race-by-race progress in maiden/novice events, off the mark at third attempt at Newcastle (10.2f) in April. However, lacklustre efforts both starts in handicaps on turf subsequently and return to AW needs to have positive effect now.
The return to Tapeta (won his novice in the spring) should help down 2lb; watch the market.
5
(5) I'm Too Tired (8/1 +0%)
I'm Too Tired

8
8/1(+0%)
(5) I'm Too Tired 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 9/1, good fourth of 12 in handicap at this course (8.6f) 22 days ago, no extra final 100 yds. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Looks competitive on form.
Yard enjoying a good spell and he ran well back from a break here last time; considered.
8
(8) Paradise Row (8.5/1 +15%)
Paradise Row

8.5
8.5/1(+15%)
(8) Paradise Row 8.5/1, Thrice-raced winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Won 11-runner maiden at Chelmsford City (10f, 4/1) 19 days ago, benefiting from the increase in trip. That ought not prove her limit now switched to handicap company.
Better with each of her three starts and looks to begin handicap life on a workable mark.
3
(3) Roar Emotion (8.5/1 +70%)
Roar Emotion

8.5
8.5/1(+70%)
(3) Roar Emotion 8.5/1, Improved markedly to make winning return/handicap debut at Kempton (1m) in April, leading over 1f out. Too free when trailing in last of 17 in handicap at Newbury (10f) since. Good pace to aim at here will help.
Two AW (Polytrack) efforts much better than his three turf runs; needs to settle better.
7
(7) Fleur De Mer (9/1 -13%)
Fleur De Mer

9
9/1(-13%)
(7) Fleur De Mer 9/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 33/1, eighth of 11 in minor event at Goodwood (8f, good to firm) 32 days ago, needing stiffer test. Makes handicap debut. Likely to improve.
Stiffer test should suit (half-sister to a 1m4f winner here); watch the market.
9
(9) Eagle Eyed Tom (20/1 +20%)
Eagle Eyed Tom

20
20/1(+20%)
(9) Eagle Eyed Tom 20/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Ninth of 13 in maiden at Kempton (7f, 25/1) in May, slowly away. Significantly up in trip for handicap debut and the betting may well prove a useful guide back from a break.
Hasn't offered a huge amount in three starts to date and will need to settle better.
6
(6) Mirabello Bay (40/1 -100%)
Mirabello Bay

40
40/1(-100%)
(6) Mirabello Bay 40/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in March. Last of 5 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm, 18/1) 15 days ago, driven out wide straight and making no impression. Return to AW could well have positive effect now.
4-8 on the AW, 0-10 on turf, so the return here (2-4) ought to help; is exposed though.
LTO Selection:

14:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

TIFFANY broke her maiden at the third time of asking over 7f here and the fact that was a staying-on success makes this longer distance worth exploring. An opening mark of 72 seems workable for Sir Mark Prescott's filly and even though she has to shoulder top weight, she rates the one to beat. Outgun is on the same mark as when third on his handicap debut at Newbury and is feared most up in trip, while Chelmsford winner Paradise Row is worth considering on her first foray into handicap company.

An interesting opener with the narrow vote in favour of OUTGUN. He showed improved form on return/handicap debut when third at Newbury (1m) 26 days ago (first home in group). Entitled to come on for that run, this longer trip may unlock further progress and he can go well from a handy draw. I'm Too Tired and Mirabello Bay returned to AW are feared, with Tiffany another worth a look.

The step up from 7f looks ideal for TIFFANY (nap) and she's preferred to Outgun, another who's open to improvement.

Star Ahoy

0.62
0.62/1(+15%)
(11) Star Ahoy 0.62/1, Well-bred son of Sea The Stars who has shaped with promise over 1m this term when in the frame in Yarmouth maiden and Newmarket novice. Has more to offer, especially now upped in trip. Big shout.
Well-bred Sea The Stars colt who could continue to progress now up in trip; leading claims.

9
(9) Jumeirah King (7.5/1 -67%)
Jumeirah King

7.5
7.5/1(-67%)
(9) Jumeirah King 7.5/1, Fairly useful ex-French maiden who came in a good second of 6 in maiden at Longchamp (9f, good to soft) 82 days ago. Has since been gelded and is very much one to consider for his new yard.
Plenty of promise in France and leading claims if reproducing that form on stable debut.
4
(4) Wonderwall (9/1 +25%)
Wonderwall

9
9/1(+25%)
(4) Wonderwall 9/1, Useful 20f chase winner in 2022. Cheekpieces on for 1st time when fair thirteenth of 24 in County Hurdle at Cheltenham (16.8f, good to soft) in March. Not without interest starting out on the Flat.
Useful bumper/hurdle winner; may need further but respected nevertheless on Flat debut.

Fair form on both starts; might not be far away but needs something extra to win this.

Runner-up here last October on sole start; has an absence to defy on stable debut.

Displayed ability on the first of his two bumper starts, but others are preferred.

LTO Selection:

14:45 Pontefract Maiden (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

STAR AHOY has looked to be a work in progress on his three starts to date, with his best effort coming on his latest outing when third at Newmarket, and it would be no surprise to see him improve for stepping up in trip. Jumeirah King makes his UK debut following some promising displays in France, while Iron Lion and Break Point are others for the shortlist.

STAR AHOY has shaped up well on all his three runs to date and with this longer distance sure to see him in an even better light he looks the way to go. Kevin Ryan's new recruit Jumeirah King showed some fairly useful form in France so rates the chief threat, with the consistent Iron Lion rating a solid place prospect once more.

The William Haggas-trained STAR AHOY was a good third over 1m at Newmarket and this Sea The Stars colt earns the vote now up in trip.

(10) Value Added 1.38/1, Iffraaj filly who, ridden more positively than previously, ran best race when second in 12-runner maiden at Windsor (10f) 8 days ago. Can feature again with a repeat.
Made most for William Buick on turf last week and holds obvious claims on that.

Promises to be better suited by today's longer trip and goes on the shortlist.

Queen Regent

(2) Queen Regent 4/1, Bright start when third on debut in a Kempton (1m) in February and confirmed that promise when opening her account at Newcastle (1m) later that month. Absent since but she remains open to improvement for leading stable and shortlisted here.
Two solid efforts early in the year; shapes as though this stiffer test will suit.

(9) Quantum Light 4/1, Fairly useful maiden who ran best race yet when runner-up on return in 9-runner handicap here (8.6f) in May. Not in same form at Haydock since but feasible to think she can bounce back.
Poor on turf latest; needs to settle from the outside stall and is looking exposed now.

Half-sister to four winners who's probably best watched for a yard that remains quiet.

Looks best watched today after a low-key heavy-ground debut in the spring.
LTO Selection:

15:05 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

A comfortable winner over a mile at Newcastle in February, a reproduction of that effort can see Queen Regent firmly in the picture. However, she has to shoulder a 7lb penalty so VALUE ADDED gets the nod. The daughter of Iffraaj was a much-improved second over 1m2f at Windsor and, with more progression likely, is fancied to break her maiden. Quantum Light is better than her most recent effort at Haydock suggests and is just one other with claims.

Having displayed plenty of promise on debut at Kempton in February, QUEEN REGENT only needed to match that form when opening her account at Newcastle later that month. However, open to further progress she could be the way to go now stepping up in trip. Emma Emilleen, Value Added and Quantum Light head up the dangers, in that order.

Open to improvement now handed a stiffer test, QUEEN REGENT can concede 7lb to Emma Emilleen and Value Added (second choice).

Purplepay

1.75

(8) Purplepay 1.75/1, Better than ever on second start for William Haggas when landing Group 2 Prix de Sandringham at Chantilly last June. Little impact in a couple of Group 1s in Australia this year but this drop in class will be welcomed and she's the one to beat.
Group 2 winner last June; hasn't matched that form since but drops back in grade here.

4.5/1(+44%)
(9) Zenga 4.5/1, Made it third time lucky in a 9.5f Wolverhampton (9.5f) last July prior to a creditable second on handicap debut at Lingfield (1¼m, AW). Encouraging belated reappearance on the back of a wind op at Royal Ascot (1m, good) and she's not without each-way hope up in class here.
Something to find with the majority of these but lightly raced and is a possible improver.
4
(4) Fall In Love (5.5/1 -22%)
Fall In Love

5.5
5.5/1(-22%)
(4) Fall In Love 5.5/1, Useful filly for previous yard in France, notably finishing fifth of 17 in the French Oaks last season. Majority of her subsequent efforts have been in Group company and she's an interesting contender at this level on debut for new yard (also represented here by Zenga).
Below par on final two starts in the winter but key player on earlier form; stable debut.
1
(1) Al Agaila (8/1 -33%)
Al Agaila

8
8/1(-33%)
(1) Al Agaila 8/1, Solid start to career on turf last summer and took form up a notch on polytrack during the winter, completing hat-trick in Winter Oaks Handicap at Lingfield (1¼m) in January. Solid effort when a close fifth at Newcastle (1m) recently but will need to improve if she's to resume winning ways here.
Progressive profile on AW; return to turf poses a question but she's not ruled out.
2
(2) Dha Leath (9/1 -29%)
Dha Leath

9
9/1(-29%)
(2) Dha Leath 9/1, Enjoyed a productive 2022, bagging 4 handicaps at up to 1¼m. Wasn't beaten far when ninth of 27 in the Irish Lincolnshire at the Curragh on return in March but subsequent effort was a shade disappointing, for all that the 1½m trip probably stretched her.
An each-way case can be made on form but perhaps 1m2f suits best.
5
(5) Kingmania (10/1 +70%)
Kingmania

10
10/1(+70%)
(5) Kingmania 10/1, Progressive earlier in her career for Chris Wall and, having drawn a blank in 2022, she made the perfect start for new yard in a first-time hood at Southwell (1m) in April. Disappointing in a Nottingham handicap next time, though, and probably biting off more than she can chew at this level.

Listed third last May but inconsistent since and well beaten on both outings this year.

7yo who has been running well in Irish handicaps, but needs clear career best here.
LTO Selection:

15:20 Pontefract Listed (Class 1) 8f Race Class Flow

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

PURPLEPAY struggled to get competitive in a couple of Australian Group 1's in the spring but William Haggas's filly, who was a Group 2 winner in France last year, has been found an excellent opportunity to get her career back on track. Fall In Love also boasts some smart form, including when fifth in the Prix de Diane, and may benefit from a change of scenery on her first run for Roger Varian. Al Agaila, Espressoo and Dha Leath can fight it out for the minor honours.

If anywhere near her best back from a 3-month break, PURPLEPAY should simply outclass these rivals. She was nearer last than first in a couple of top-tier races in Australia in March/April but her sights are lowered significantly here and she showed what she can do when landing a Group 2 in France last summer. The Roger Varian-trained duo Zenga and Fall In Love can fill the places, with the former marginally preferred for forecast purposes.

The selection is FALL IN LOVE, who may stage a revival on the back of a switch of stables. Zenga is next on the list.

Well held in three runs for his current yard; hard to find any positives.
LTO Selection:

15:40 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

This represents a drop in class for MUNIFICENT and Chelsea Banham's five-year-old is taken to build on a fair fifth at Chelmsford. He remains 3lb above his last winning mark, which came at Yarmouth in April, but is fancied to get the better of Spanish Angel, who reverts to the all-weather following a good second at Thirsk. American Rose and Cuban Grey complete the shortlist.

This looks pretty open and, dropping to 0-65 company for the first time, CAPTAIN'S BAR could be the answer. The 4-y-o hasn't troubled the judge in a few runs since joining the Scott Dixon yard but his recent reappearance spin will have blown away the cobwebs and he's now 7 lb below the mark off which he was second in a Kempton handicap on his final start for Richard Hannon last June. The consistent Spanish Angel looks set for another leading role and is second choice ahead of Tathmeen.

American Rose ought to run well again but strong traveller MUNIFICENT boasts a good record over C&D and gets the nod.

Needs to bounce back from a poor run at Ripon but running really well prior to that.
LTO Selection:

15:55 Pontefract Handicap (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Admirable veteran Summerghand has been cut some slack by the handicapper and is a threat to all on these terms. However, this season's form suggests that ALEEZDANCER might have an edge now he is back on turf and with first-time blinkers applied and Curtis Wilson-Ruddock claiming 7lb, he is taken to bounce back from a modest effort at Newcastle. Bay Breeze and the first-time-visored Aphelios complete the shortlist.

SUMMERGHAND is well handicapped again and is worth siding with to stage a revival faced with a less competitive scenario. Aphelios could be spot on for this after returning from a short break to finish fifth at Windsor last week and is second choice ahead of sole 3-y-o Kitai.

He needs to bounce back from his blip at Ripon but IT JUST TAKES TIME appeared to have excuses and he was in fine form previously.

LTO Selection:

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

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

SHARP POWER had plenty in hand when landing an apprentice handicap at Windsor nine days ago and as he escapes a penalty for that success, he has a live chance of following up. Fellow last-time-out winner Imperial Dream is also shortlisted, despite dropping back in trip, while Dyed In The Wool, who returns from a wind operation off just 3lb higher than January's Newcastle success, has something to offer too.

The drop back to this trip proved just the tonic for SHARP POWER at Windsor where he landed an apprentices' handicap with plenty left up his sleeve. With no penalty to carry and William Buick taking over, further success is on the cards. Tallulah Myla wasn't disgraced at Newmarket and she could be the one to follow the selection home ahead of handicap debutants Imperial Dream and Exorbitant.

It could be worth giving another chance to MOJEYRR, who was all at sea on turf last time. Sharp Power rates the main danger.

In good form in May but hasn't been at the same level on his two runs for this yard.
LTO Selection:

16:30 Pontefract Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Spritzin' has to be noted in the betting as she steps up in trip and is introduced to turf/handicaps off a workable mark. Her yard remains in good form and she looks another likely improver setting out to test Sir Mark Prescott's tried-and-trusted formula. However, there may be more value in siding with WHERE'S JEFF, who remains on a handy rating and has more proven form on this type of stamina-sapping course. Big Cheese is also considered.

BILLY NO MATES was left poorly placed after a tardy start on his most recent outing at York and is interesting now back down in grade having eased a further 2 lb in the weights, so he receives the vote. The dangers are headed by a pair of 3-y-os in Spritzin', who appeals as the type to do much better now upped markedly in trip, and Cosmic View, who arrives on the back of a career best.

The Sir Mark Prescott-trained SPRITZIN' cost 265,000gns and is by Sea The Stars, and could be a big improver now up in trip.

LTO Selection:

16:50 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Yaahobby seems versatile regarding the racing surface but his two previous career successes have come at this circuit and he is a big player. He is competitively rated and another bold effort is expected, but MAGIC GEM looks the one to side with following his triumphant comeback over 7f here and, off just 2lb higher, he may have more to give on his first attempt at this trip. Struck Gold and Dodgy Bob are also considered.

Lots with chances. MAGIC GEM got off to a winning start for David Griffiths over 7f here last time and can complete his hat-trick now back in handicap company with this drop back in trip a likely plus. Struck Gold could emerge as the chief threat on the back of his good C&D second. Last year's winner Coast can also have a say off an easing mark.

Magic Gem could be suited by the drop to 6f but STRUCK GOLD is well suited by Tapeta and his turn is surely near.

LTO Selection:

17:05 Pontefract Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

HI CLARE continues to progress well and has a lot going for her as she bids to repeat last month's C&D success off just 2lb higher. The Charlie Johnston-trained filly, who found only one too strong at Bath subsequently, is versatile regarding the ground and is a prime candidate here. Do I Dream returned from a short break with a decent effort at Carlisle and has more to offer, while Cassy O is dangerously well handicapped on his best form.

PATERNOSTER SQUARE took a step forward when runner-up at Windsor last time and he's open to further progress switched to handicaps, so he's preferred to the in-form Hi Clare, who scored here a couple of starts ago. Do I Dream is also well worthy of consideration.

The 3yo LERWICK (nap) did not get the chance to show what he is capable of at Doncaster last time and he's taken to get off the mark.

LTO Selection:

17:15 Tramore Claimer 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MAGNETIC NORTH appears to have been found an excellent opportunity to make a winning debut for new connections. Formerly trained by Ado McGuinness, the eight-year-old was picked up by Dick Donohue after easily landing a Limerick claimer last month. With a similar set of conditions and Adam Caffrey retaining the ride, the veteran should take plenty of pegging back granted his customary front-running role. Desert Friend holds an identical rating to the Donohue horse so would be a real threat if at his best. The seven-year-old was pulled up over fences last time but had won his previous start. Former bumper winner Kiss My Lucky Egg is an interesting contender having her first start on the Flat. The Emmet Mullins-trained mare had some decent form in Listed company last year.

KISS MY LUCKY EGG showed a fair amount of ability in bumpers and, while she failed to come up to expectations on hurdling debut, she should have enough to land this weak event on Flat debut. Magnetic North is the danger having landed a similar event at Limerick for a different stable last time.

Outpaced over 1m1f last time, BLACK SOUL is weighted to win this if able to return to the form of his earlier Tipperary maiden run.

LTO Selection:

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

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

CATESBY goes well for Elisha Whittington and, given she claims 5lb, carrying joint top-weight might not be insurmountable for this dual C&D winner. Dropping back in trip is very much in his favour and it would come as no surprise to see him help to set strong fractions on the front end. Bungle Bay would benefit from that scenario and he is feared most, while Admirable Lad and Clownsman both have solid enough form to make the shortlist.

ADMIRABLE LAD took a step back in the right direction when second on turf last time and is on a winning mark if able to build on that. The return to 6f should suit Bungle Bay who is second choice ahead of Catesby.

Admirable Lad should go well after returning to form at Bath but CLOWNSMAN can gain compensation for a luckless reappearance defeat.

LTO Selection:

17:35 Uttoxeter Handicap Chase (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

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

SILVER SHEEN has progressed with every start since joining the Fergal O'Brien stable and he must hold every chance if building upon a strong runner-up effort at Worcester last time out. Similar comments apply to A Different Kind, who looked to be getting the hang of things in this sphere at Cartmel, while Donnie Azoff has the potential to improve for going up in distance.

A DIFFERENT KIND should have more to offer over fences and can land the opener. Silver Sheen rates the principal danger.

The Donald McCain-trained A DIFFERENT KIND has plenty going for him and is preferred to Silver Sheen.

LTO Selection:

17:50 Tramore Maiden 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Although this race may well be a stepping stone to the Galway Hurdle, MY MATE MOZZIE should be good enough to win for the first time on the Flat. A former Grade 3 winner over flights, the Gavin Cromwell-trained gelding has some very smart handicap form under this code, namely a close second in the November Handicap and a third placing on Champions Weekend at Leopardstown. Given his rating of 92, it will be disappointing if he isn't able to win here en route to Ballybrit. Moon Over Claddagh shaped well when stepped up to this trip at Fairyhouse. The locally-trained five-year-old catches the eye with Colin Keane booked to ride, but he does face a stiff task against the likely favourite. Barnacullia showed promise at Roscommon last week but may do better once switched to handicaps.

MY MATE MOZZIE holds the edge on form and should be all the better for his recent Curragh seventh after a lay-off so gets the vote in a competitive maiden. Bella Nebula shaped well on her debut for Emmet Mullins and rates the chief threat with more expected now from this lightly-raced ex-French filly. Humtaza and Barnacullia can fight it out for minor honours.

A classy NH performer, MY MATE MOZZIE was close-up in a Curragh premier handicap last time and will be too good for these.

Generally poor over various trips and was beaten a long way on his turf comeback.
LTO Selection:

17:55 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

EBURY is shadow of what he once was but, from a basement rating, he can launch a bold bid here. He has posted several decent efforts in defeat at this course and having dropped to a featherweight since his last visit, he is dangerous to ignore. Spartakos was a couple of places behind the selection when they encountered each other at Beverley in May and is feared most, although Crystal Dawn and Pop Favorite command respect at this level too.

CRYSTAL DAWN is well handicapped and benefited from a return to AW when second over C&D last time, so she's worth chancing to go one better at the possible expense of Pop Favorite, who scored at Newcastle last time. Spartakos is another one to consider.

Usually dropped in, CRYSTAL DAWN's record over C&D is hard to knock and she's preferred to All Dunn.

LTO Selection:

18:00 Brighton Stakes (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

NOTRE MAISON is in the form of her life at present and returning to this C&D, where she won last month, is another plus as she looks to bring up the hat-trick. Stuart Kittow's filly can once again get the better of Kodi Dancer, who was only a head behind her at Ffos Las. Tilsworth Ony Ta was a decent third at Yarmouth and rounds out the shortlist.

No depth to the opener but NOTRE MAISON arrives having landed back-to-back classified contests in recent weeks and could be the way to go in her hat-trick bid. Kodi Dancer and Arzaak head up the dangers.

The safe play has to be NOTRE MAISON, for all that she was fortunate to beat Kodi Dancer at Ffos Las

LTO Selection:

18:10 Uttoxeter Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

OUR SCHOLAR has been in top form of late and the hat-trick is very much on the cards as he attempts to follow up a comfortable success over C&D last month. A double penalty makes life much more difficult, but he can uphold form with The Big Jetaway (third) from that Uttoxeter contest. Liverpool Knight is a talented sort on the level but has yet to put it together over hurdles.

THE BIG JETAWAY shaped nicely back over hurdles after a 7-month absence when third to Our Scholar over C&D just over 3 weeks ago and promises to achieve more with that under his belt, so may be able to reverse the form with that rival on these more favourable terms and come out on top. Shengai Enki and Star Legend are a couple of others who merit consideration.

Although Our Scholar should go well again he may struggle to give 12lb to STAR LEGEND who is taken to score on his hurdles debut.

LTO Selection:

18:20 Tramore Handicap 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

VERA VERTO can complete a quick double for the Gavin Cromwell stable by following up her recent Ballinrobe victory. On that occasion, the five-year-old made all the running before being eased down to win comfortably. The subsequent 6lb rise she incurred from the handicapper is more than offset by leading apprentice Robert Whearty taking over in the saddle. Queen Of Seduction also raced prominently when winning her maiden at Roscommon last month, before being far from disgraced in two subsequent starts. The Jessica Harrington-trained four-year-old holds strong claims. Banned, who finished second to the aforementioned filly at Roscommon, should get closer on these revised terms. The Joseph O'Brien representative has been very consistent of late, giving the impression that her turn is near.

AGENDA quickened up quite nicely to lead late on at Leopardstown last month and is selected to make light of a 5 lb rise with Colin Keane taking over in the saddle. Jessica Harrington's Queen of Seduction arrives in good nick and rates a threat, while Coill Na Sionainne will also play a part if bouncing back to the form she showed when second at Leopardstown last month.

With Robert Whearty taking over, VERA VERTO is effectively 1lb lower than for her win at Ballinrobe and she's a likeable type.

LTO Selection:

18:30 Brighton Maiden (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

VICE CAPTAIN is turned out again quickly after a disappointing effort at Beverley on Saturday and is taken to bounce back. The son of Land Force had previously gone close at Nottingham and he is preferred to newcomer The African Queen and Etihad Rail, who is very interesting on his first start for Alice Haynes having shown plenty of ability when trained by Marcus Tregoning.

THE AFRICAN QUEEN is bred to be suited by a bit further than this trip in time, but she's with a top yard and makes her debut in a winnable affair, so she gets the marginal vote over Vice Captain, who sets the standard but has a tame run at Beverley to shrug off after a quick turnaround. Etihad Rail is also worthy of respect on his first outing for a new stable.

None of those with experience ran that well last time so a chance is taken on the newcomer THE AFRICAN QUEEN.

LTO Selection:

18:40 Uttoxeter Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

KOMEDY KICKS has been very consistent since joining the Milton Harris stable and the step up in trip could be just what is needed to bring about further improvement. The daughter of Churchill should be suited by conditions, with last-start Worcester runner-up Walk Of No Shame looking best placed to chase her home, although Call Me Tara has a good strike-rate in this sphere and must also enter calculations.

A chance is taken on BON RETOUR, who has failed to fire in a handful of appearances for this yard but has now slipped below her last winning mark and is entitled to come on for her spin at Market Rasen where she was returning from a 3-month break. Walk of No Shame, Call Me Tara and Komedy Kicks all have low-mileage over hurdles and are feared in that order of preference.

In an open-looking mares' handicap the stoutly bred CALL ME TARA is taken to score on her first attempt at 2m4f.

LTO Selection:

18:50 Tramore Handicap 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

None of the six can be safely ruled out, with just 5lb between them all on ratings. Ultimately disappointing since winning on his second start at Limerick in September 2020, the locally-trained BLACKPOINT is the suggestion with Shane Foley aboard. He ran a solid race on his return to action last month, clearly improving from that effort by filling the runner-up spot on his next start at Tipperary. The Kodiac gelding came from off the pace at the Limerick Junction venue and may benefit from more positive tactics now. Expound went down by just half a length at Ballinrobe last month and is given second preference, stepping up in trip. Successful over flights at Sligo on Sunday, Dark Note would be popular with punters if turning out again quickly.

This looks competitive, despite the small field. EXPOUND produced his best effort yet when going down narrowly over 9.6f at Ballinrobe and, likely to benefit from this stiffer test, the 4-y-o is taken to open his account at the eighth time of asking in this sphere. Blackpoint also found just one too good last time and is feared most ahead of Je T'ai Porte and recent hurdles winner Dark Note.

EXPOUND is taken to deservedly get off the mark after several decent runs in defeat. He should stay the trip.

19:00 Brighton Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

MREMBO bounced back to winning ways with a determined success under Olivia Tubb over slightly further at Newbury, and she can follow up off a 3lb higher mark. Jonathan Portman's filly can improve past Chips And Rice, who beat her at Lingfield in April. Queen's Company has strong claims if bouncing back to the form of last month's victory at Yarmouth.

CHIPS AND RICE came up short when sent off favourite for a Kempton handicap recently but that was a stronger race than this and she is taken to regain the winning thread. James Fanshawe's charge may have most to fear from Ermin Street, who looks dangerous off this career-low mark, for all that he needs to bounce back following a low-key display at Newbury. Mrembo hit the target last time and is respected up 3 lb, while Forward Flight should also have a part to play.

James Fanshawe's CHIPS AND RICE (nap) wasn't suited by how the race developed last time at Kempton and she remains in good nick.

(4) Tango Echo Charlie 1.88/1, Scored over C&D last year and looked a bit rusty on reappearance here last month. Should strip fitter for that, so likely to feature.

Temptingly treated back hurdling for new yard but all best form on good or quicker ground.
LTO Selection:

19:10 Uttoxeter Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 23f Race Class Flow

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

Third on her handicap debut at Ffos Las, JUST SOPHIE remains open to improvement in this sphere and could take advantage for a second victory over timber. Tango Echo Charlie would be a threat if returning to the level of his C&D success in May of last year, while Butler's Brief tends to go well at this venue and is interesting in first-time cheekpieces.

TANGO ECHO CHARLIE goes well here and should come on for his reappearance last month, so he's worth chancing from an appealing mark in a race where the majority have something to prove. Decoration of War is in a similar mould in that he's likely to strip fitter for a recent effort and he's regarded as the main danger unless the money comes for Toshima.

None are cast-iron but TANGO ECHO CHARLIE was an eased-down fifth on his recent return from an absence and is capable of better today.

LTO Selection:

19:20 Tramore Handicap 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A unique Derby for horses rated in the lowest bracket. ZOFFANY BAY was a bit of an eyecatcher at Tipperary last week and looks well capable of winning a race of this calibre. A Listed winner over flights when trained in France, he was subsequently out of action for almost two years. He ran a huge race on his return at Ascot in February, finishing second on what was his debut for current connections. Disappointingly pulled up on his next two starts, he put in a much-improved performance reverting to the level at Tipperary and can build on that effort now. While You're Up is given second preference with Colin Keane aboard. He ran well to finish fourth on his only previous visit to Tramore and was a solid seventh of 15 at Leopardstown last month, on what was his first start in well over a year. Magi Gal was just a length behind the selection at Tipperary and should be able to make her presence felt with Siobhan Rutledge claiming 5lb. A winner at Fairyhouse last summer when trained by Jack Davison, Grizabella looks the best of the rest.

A number arrive with something to prove but ZOFFANY BAY shaped pretty encouragingly on his belated return to this sphere when fourth at Tipperary last week and shades the vote. Magi Gal and Grizabella head up the dangers.

ZOFFANY BAY (nap) returned to the Flat with a solid run in a more competitive race at Tipperary last week and can take this.

Very quiet in his last two runs and now with a new trainer.
LTO Selection:

19:30 Brighton Stakes (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Denied by little more than a length over 7f at Ayr last month, WILLING TO PLEASE rates the one to beat on the back of that performance. Phil Kirby's mare disappointed in a Carlisle handicap prior to that effort, but she should be able to progress at this sort of level. Others of interest include Tranquillity, who finished a decent third at Ffos Las last time out, and the fairly consistent Shabs.

WILLING TO PLEASE arrives having run well on 2 of her last 3 starts, latterly when second at Ayr 17 days ago, and a repeat should see Phil Kirby's mare firmly in the mix. Tranquillity and Centerstage are a couple of 3-y-os who can also play a part, with Shabs another expected to be in the shake up.

The suggestion is WILLING TO PLEASE, who must go close if reproducing the form of her recent second at Ayr.

LTO Selection:

19:40 Uttoxeter Handicap Chase (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

ARBENNIG looked to really enjoy the switch to front-running tactics over C&D last month, scoring by 12 lengths, and a 7lb rise may not be enough to stop Jamie Snowden's gelding from making it two on the bounce. Lonimoss Bareliere was no match for the selection when runner-up on that occasion, but he might get closer on the revised terms. Chemical Warfare appears best of the remainder.

ARBENNIG looked on the top of his game when a wide-margin C&D scorer last time and can defy a 7 lb rise in his current mood at the chief expense of Chemical Warfare, who is weighted to have a big say now back chasing for the first time since winning at Newcastle. In-form maiden Famoso is another who should go well on the back of his good Stratford second.

Jamie Snowden's ARBENNIG (nap) looked full of beans when making all here recently and the rain has come in time for him.

LTO Selection:

19:50 Tramore Handicap 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

With Galway just around the corner, this will hardly be a priority for the connections of Teed Up. Last seen finishing second of 21 in the valuable November Handicap at Doncaster, this assignment is likely to be used as a prep run for bigger targets at Ballybrit. His trainer Emmet Mullins also saddles AURORA PRINCESS, who reverts to the level after an unsuccessful spell over flights. A four-time winner when trained by Jessica Harrington, the five-year-old should be able to make her presence felt with Danny Mullins aboard. A winner at Sandown last summer when trained by Andrew Balding, it'll be interesting to see how Duty Bound fares on debut for John Flavin. Bought for 55,000 pounds at Tattersalls in October, he is a half-brother to six-time winner Punctuation, who won over flights at the Grand National meeting at Aintree in April. Longclaw is sure to have his supporters as he bids to follow up a surprise Ballinrobe success, while C&D winner Jake Peter and the Pat Flynn-trained Team Of Firsts are others for the shortlist.

TEED UP was last seen running a big race to finish second in the November Handicap at Doncaster so, provided his shrewd yard have him ready for his return, he should be up to making a successful start to the campaign. Longclaw, who scored at Ballinrobe last time, is considered a danger and Duty Bound can't be dismissed for all that he's another one with fitness concerns.

This looks trappy. Perhaps LONGCLAW can follow up his shock win at Ballinrobe. Teed Up would be interesting if it rained.

Recent Lingfield winner who landed this 12 months ago off a similar mark.

20:00 Brighton Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

A game winner over C&D on her most recent outing, DIAMOND COTTAGE might be the one to beat, despite a 2lb raised mark. She is three from three at this track and is fancied to mount another bold bid, even though she steps up in class. Storymaker should be respected on her return to turf following a disappointing run at Wolverhampton, while Film Star is a previous track-and-trip winner and must also enter calculations.

HONEYMOONER pulled 8 lengths clear with the thriving Kimnkate, who was successful again at Doncaster on Friday, when getting off the mark at Windsor 9 days ago and a 6 lb penalty may not stop her if in similar form. Last-time-out C&D scorers Film Star and Diamond Cottage can give her most to think about.

A competitive race for the grade. BONKERSINABUNDANCE ran well after missing the break on Saturday and now goes further.

LTO Selection:

20:10 Uttoxeter Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

MAGIC MIKE arrives searching for a hat-trick of victories and the six-year-old commands plenty of respect following a 2lb rise for the most recent of those at Newcastle. Robber's Bridge has stepped forward of late and the drop in trip may elicit further improvement, while the application of first-time cheekpieces might aid the cause of Professor Calculus after his recent tumble at Newton Abbot.

If MAGIC MIKE returns from a short break in the same form as when last seen in the spring he'll stand a good chance of completing a hat-trick. Pot of Paint has been the subject of an interesting trainer change and would rate a possible threat if the betting vibes are strong. What Will Be could also have a part to play if translating the form he showed in a C&D seller last time back to handicap company.

It could pay to side with the hat-trick seeking MAGIC MIKE who still looks feasibly treated after his two wins this year.

Emmet Mullins is also sure to have something in mind for ALL IN PEDER at Galway. Rated just 42 when successful at Gowran in May, he followed up at Listowel before finishing third over a mile and a half at Down Royal most recently. He stayed on well in the closing stages on that occasion and is likely to appreciate going back up in trip. Just getting into this race on a mark of 65, he looks the one to beat. Kalmira finished just half a length behind the selection at Gowran and given the swing in the weights, she should be able to reverse the form. However, she is unproven over this distance and may struggle to contain the progressive selection. The slow-starting Ballybaun Star finished a never-nearer fourth at Bellewstown on Thursday and is capable of making his presence felt if putting his best foot forward. Successful on Friday, Franno is sure to have plenty of supporters with Robert Whearty again claiming a valuable 7lb, while Wild Shot is another who warrants respect.

WILD SHOT has dropped to a handy mark and should appreciate the step back up in trip. He can land the finale. All In Peder and Franno head the list of dangers.

A few with chances. WILD SHOT arrives here in form and this belated return to 2m is worth exploring.

LTO Selection:

20:30 Brighton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

It could be worth siding with the unexposed LIOSA, who is now rated 1lb lower following a decent fourth over 5f at Windsor. A return to this trip looks worth exploring and he is fancied to get the better of Mister X, who sports a first-time visor following a fair third over 7f at this venue. Morboka looks the pick of the remainder.

The reliable LIOSA is fancied to build on his promising start for Stuart Kittow and get off the mark at the chief expense of C&D winner Mister X, who could be a big threat if the fitting of a visor ekes out some improvement. In-form Morboka is another to consider.

The likelihood of a strong pace up front and the nature of this track heightens interest in LIOSA who has more potential than most.

About U.K Horse Racing

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

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

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

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

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

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