13:00 Wexford Maiden Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The three big jumping yards are all represented here and slight preference is for NOUVOTIC who was runner-up on his only point-to-point start and showed promise in four outings under Rules. The Henry de Bromhead-trained gelding finished second behind the odds-on Stoke The Fire in a Tramore maiden hurdle and may have found the trip too far when reappearing at Downpatrick in May. The well-bred Dysart Dasher should be better suited by going left-handed after hanging out at Downpatrick last time, while Lightkeeper has plenty of experience over hurdles but hasn't really progressed in recent starts.

DYSART DASHER was still in need of the experience sent hurdling when fifth at Downpatrick 13 months ago and, with improvement on the cards over this longer trip, he earns the vote. Nouvotic and Lightkeeper are obvious threats.

The safest bet looks to be NOUVOTIC, who should come on from his Downpatrick fourth-place last time, his first run since January

13:30 Wexford Handicap Hurdle 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

TINGARRAN EXPRESS has been a model of consistency this year winning at Clonmel and filling the runner-up spot five times including at Tramore last time. The selection beat all bar Slieve Bearnagh on that occasion and the winner advertised the form with a decisive win at Cork last week. Katzoff is 0-32 under both codes but was well supported in the other division of that aforementioned Cork handicap when second to Contrapposto and remains on a lowly mark. Johnny Clarke ran a cracker after a length lay-off when narrowly denied over C&D in May while Applejack Poet has been campaigned on the Flat since winning over hurdles at Bellewstown last summer.

JOHNNY CLARKE would have made a successful return here in May had he not got shuffled back and lost valuable momentum on the home turn, so he's well worth the chance to gain compensation. Tingarran Express and Ladyeze Man head the opposition.

Having run a cracker over C&D on return from a long lay-off, JOHNNY CLARKE can go one better today.

13:40 Newmarket Maiden (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow

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

The penny seemed to drop late for BINTABUHA when finishing second on her racecourse debut over C&D. She arrives here for the in-form William Knight yard and is taken to add to her trainer's impressive recent record. Flight is feared most after a promising runner-up effort on her first outing at Newbury and the booking of Ryan Moore catches the eye. Godolphin newcomer Desert Flower, a three-parts sister to a Group 3 juvenile winner, isn't easily discounted, with Concert Party and Amica others to note.

FLIGHT was well fancied when making a very encouraging start at Newbury, just no match for an experienced and promising winner. She looks sure to improve and can go one better with Ryan Moore up. Charlie Appleby has dominated this race and newcomer Desert Flower is of obvious interest, along with Archie Watson's Duty First. Bintabuha shaped well on debut here and will progress also.

Flight can be expected to build on her Newbury second but she was beaten 4l and preference is for Godolphin newcomer DESERT FLOWER.

Mark looks tough and the addition of a tongue tie isn't enough to tempt.

13:45 Ascot Handicap (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

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

EXISTENT made a pleasing return to action when filling the runner-up spot in this grade at Sandown recently and he is only 1lb higher for that effort. With his usual hold-up tactics likely to suit at this track, he is an appealing option off his current mark. The main danger is King's Lynn, who has been a model of consistency in each of his last three starts. The hat-trick seeking Get It and Jumbeau complete the shortlist.

A case can be made for lots of these but ALBASHEER hasn't enjoyed the rub of the green of late and lurks on a good mark at present so edges the vote. Both Danger Alert (engaged Chester Friday) and Conservationist have caught the eye of late and are handily weighted too so could emerge as the main dangers to Archie Watson's 6-y-o. Get It and Russet Gold complete the shortlist.

King's Lynn and Fair Wind are feared but ALBASHEER is well handicapped and in better form than his recent form figures suggest.

13:52 Navan Maiden 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SHIMMY JIMMY showed good improvement on his second start to fill the runner-up spot in Listowel. The form has a decent look to it as the winner then just failed by a head in Naas. Runninsonofagun faced a stiff task in Tipperary, but his opening fourth in Leopardstown was a fair effort and the horse in third has since landed a maiden in Roscommon. Newcomer Admiral Halsey is a half-brother to a 14-time winner no less, while Invincibletomorrow and Sloan are others worth noting on their first starts. Dandy Magic was a satisfactory fourth on debut at Naas last month and can progress with that experience banked.

DANDY MAGIC is a rare juvenile runner for her ultra-shrewd yard but she showed plenty on debut and with improvement likely, she's very much the one to beat. Cheekpieces may help Shimmy Jimmy and he's a threat, along with Adrenaline Rush.

This looks like a good opportunity for SHIMMY JIMMY to step up a place following a second placing at Listowel

14:00 York Handicap (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Blue For You has been out of luck so far this term but David O'Meara's gelding is now 4lb lower than when landing the corresponding race 12 months ago, and he must feature prominently in calculations. La Trinidad won this in 2021 and his recent Redcar victory suggests another bold showing is likely. The unexposed ELNAJMM was a commanding winner on his handicap bow last month, though, and given that he ought to improve further, a 10lb hike might not be enough to prevent him from going in again.

ELNAJMM boasts some strong 3-y-o form and won as his rider liked on his handicap debut/return at Newcastle a fortnight ago. There is more to come and he can follow up. Last year's winner Blue For You has a great record here, is likely to be primed for this, and is 4 lb lower after a similar campaign. 3-y-o Telemark and La Trinidad are a couple of others to consider.

The revolves around the lightly raced 4yo ELNAJMM, who was very impressive on his reappearance at Newcastle (1m, AW) 16 days ago.

14:05 Wexford Handicap Hurdle 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

EDGE OF MY SEAT gets the vote in an open event. The Aidan Howard-trained mare has filled the runner-up spot a couple of times over hurdles and highlighted her claims when again placed behind Makfils in a 17-runner handicap at Punchestown last time. Boston Bobby appreciated better ground when runner-up at Sligo last month while Cottage Artist also enters calculations on her fourth to Contrapposto at Cork last week. Kate Ill Know was third behind Toon Town over C&D last time while Late Vocation and Trishknowsbest are others to consider. The latter was placed at Ballinrobe on her penultimate start and Keith Donoghue is a significant booking.

EDGE OF MY SEAT made a good return to action when fourth at Punchestown in May and might be able to land a first career success. Boston Bobby goes without the cheekpieces he sported when an improved second at Sligo last time but is still feared most ahead of Caoimhes Pet, who could strip fitter for last month's outing at Sligo.

A chance is taken on MISS AYTAN to score on handicap debut having shown up well enough in maidens lately.

14:12 Newmarket Handicap (Class 2) 7f Race Class Flow

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

After a very impressive success over 6f at this venue last month, MISS BODACIOUS can continue her winning sequence today. Karl Burke's charge got off to a tardy start on that occasion but the daughter of Zoustar looked better the further she went and a 9lb rise doesn't appear to be out of her reach. Asian Daze has shaped as if she is capable of landing a prize of this nature and she is likely to give the selection most to think about, while Lou Lou's Gift completes the shortlist.

No fewer than 5 of these contested the Sandringham at Ascot last month with ARISAIG shaping best of them given she raced on the wrong side and was hampered. She can confirm herself to be a well-handicapped filly here, albeit there's plenty of depth to this with Lou Lou's Gift, Divine Breath and Miss Bodacious arriving on the up.

A few of these have nice prizes in them and NOT REAL is capable of further improvement if getting more cover than at Haydock last time.

14:20 Ascot Group 2 (Class 1) 8f Race Class Flow

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

SONNY LISTON produced a mighty effort to only be denied by a head in the Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot last month and he sets the standard in this contest with a rating of 114. Ralph Beckett's five-year-old looks ready to take this step up in class in his stride, with his main threat possibly being Quddwah, who is unbeaten in three starts to date. Royal Dubai can fight it out for the minor honours.

QUDDWAH is improving fast and is taken to extend his unbeaten record to four at the likely expense of Sonny Liston, who arrives on the back of another excellent performance in the Royal Hunt Cup. Embesto is also respected for all that he has something to find with the first-named pair.

It was a seriously strong Listed race that QUDDWAH (nap) won here on his reappearance and there's further improvement in him.

14:27 Navan Maiden 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

BETSEN has attained a rating of 102 without winning, but could rectify that here. His mark shot up when he was headed on the line over C&D in a Listed race in April. That was a very notable performance as he was only rated 85 going into that contest. He should have the necessary speed for this assignment and gets first-time cheekpieces. Emerald Banner has posted no less than four runner-up finishes in sprints and another solid effort is on the cards. Desert Power showed ability in a debut second over 5f at this track and has since come home third at Cork. Mehmar was formerly useful, but has a massive absence to overcome.

The drop back to 5f was against BETSEN last time and judged on his runner-up prior to that, he'll take plenty of stopping down markedly in class. Emerald Banner and Speedwood are the obvious threats.

If reproducing the form of his Listed second over C&D, BETSEN should be too good for these rivals.

14:35 York Listed (Class 1) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Having all but refused to race in the Dash at Epsom last month, CLARENDON HOUSE was able to atone in a Listed race at Cork next time out. He was really impressive when scoring over C&D in May and is fancied to take all of the beating. Starlust failed to make an impact in the Commonwealth Cup last time but he can fare better in these calmer waters, while similar comments apply to Emaraaty Ana and Rogue Lightning.

STARLUST's two best performances have come over 5f and he battered his older rivals in a handicap here in May. His subsequent Commonwealth Cup effort can be overlooked and it would be no surprise to see him bounce back with a huge run. Clarendon House, who resumed winning ways at Cork last time, is a big player if on his best behaviour. Unexposed Irish filly Yefimenko and Emaraaty Ana, a former Gimcrack winner, are dangerous.

The value may lie with KORKER who can reverse earlier C&D form with Clarendon House if getting away on terms.

14:40 Wexford Maiden Hurdle 24f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The 2m7f maiden won by Topgun Simmy at Punchestown last month looks a key piece of form in the context of this race. INNATENDUE finished well when upped in trip for a creditable second with Chosen Thyme a length and a half back in third, and Summertime Romance and Sunshine Diamond (now better off at the weights) not beaten far in fifth and sixth respectively. The selection should be suited by this stamina test, although Kilbeggan bumper winner Chosen Thyme looks sure to go close if brushing up his jumping. Aine's Lad steps up considerably in trip while Marv Michael is another for the shortlist.

MARV MICHAEL has been thereabouts in similar company and might be up to getting off the mark now stepping up in trip. Last month's Punchestown 2-3 Inattendue and Chosen Thyme can give him most to think about.

MARV MICHAEL might be able to improve enough from his Ballinrobe fourth over shorter to score.

14:50 Newmarket Handicap (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow

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

ARABIC LEGEND showed a likeable attitude when second on his most recent start over 1m1f at the Curragh last month and a repeat of that effort would see him go close. Karl Burke's runner has been raised just 1lb for for that performance which appears reasonable. Qirat was well supported before running with credit in the Britannia at the Royal meeting and he could gain compensation, while First Conquest is also worth of a closer look off an opening handicap mark of 91.

This is wide open but Kevin Ryan's VOLTERRA didn't enjoy the rub of the green when first home in his group in Royal Ascot's Britannia Handicap last time and is well worth another chance to confirm himself ahead of his mark. Hat-trick seeking Liveandletlive heads the list of dangers, although a good case can be made for a host of others, including Daarkom, Arabic Legend, Qirat, Celtic Warrior and Treasure Time.

Kevin Ryan's VOLTERRA was a lot better than the result in the Britannia and is given another chance to show he's on a good mark.

14:57 Ascot Stakes (Class 2) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Big Sip ran a debut full of promise when he was only denied by a neck into second at Kempton last month and, with normal improvement, he could have a say. However, ANGEL HUNTER is preferred. Richard Hannon's charge produced an eye-catching debut effort when finishing a close-up third at Sandown last week and he would have learned a great deal from that experience. Any market confidence behind Wiesaam would be interesting.

TIGER MASK's second at York last time has been boosted in no uncertain terms by the winner since and he has proven himself on soft ground, so he takes preference over Big Sip, a big eye-catcher first time out. Angel Hunter also makes plenty of appeal.

Three of the four to have raced already look useful and TIGER MASK's York form now reads well. He's preferred to Angel Hunter.

15:02 Navan Handicap 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

LAND LOVER has a sprint victory at Sligo in May in the book and his third place at Fairyhouse last month stands up to scrutiny. That was a higher-grade contest and the horse behind him in fourth came out and delivered in a handicap for fillies rated up to 90. Mark's One hasn't been making an impression at the business end of 7f and 1m races, but is of interest on this drop back to a sprint trip. Posh Maisie ran well for a long way before finishing sixth at Naas and could build on that. Grand Citadel, Rappell and Woohoo (in her first handicap) are all in contention for prize money.

This drop back in trip is an interesting move for GRAND CITADEL, who shaped well when fourth in a 9-runner Cork handicap over a mile last monh. She could be the answer off an appealing mark. Mark's One has returned to form the last twice and he is feared most ahead of Mark's One and Land Lover

Wide open with a tentative vote going to \bPOSH MAISIEp who looked to be getting the hang of things at Naas a week ago

(16) Flying Frontier 20/1, Won maiden/novice events on turf last June and resumed with an encouraging run at Sandown, probably needing it after 9 months off and shaping better than the distance beaten suggests.

Two handicap wins here last year but has struggled on his last three starts (one here).

Drops back in trip and drawn high but probably just a matter of time before he wins a good handicap. Big player.

Placed 3 times in Bahrain during the winter and just about better than ever when going close back at Chester the last twice, much closer to the good pace than Loyal Touch last time and doing well. Player under excellent apprentice.

Thrived on AW after joining this yard; could improve for last month's sixth of 17 over C&D.

Edging down the weights but has finished down the field on his last three starts.

15:10 York Handicap (Class 2) 10f Race Class Flow

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

A wide-open contest and only a tentative vote can go to FLYING FRONTIER. James Tate's charge chased home a couple of useful types at the end of last season and there was encouragement to be taken from his Sandown reappearance. The unexposed son of Farhh ought to relish the step back up in trip, while the likely strong pace will also suit. Runner-up in the Wolferton, Haunted Dream is of interest returned to handicaps, while Epic Poet, Enfjaar, Liberty Lane and Paradias are just a handful of others to consider.

Stall 22 is a potential concern but EPIC POET, well treated on his French form, looks sure to land a top handicap for David O'Meara following his excellent second in the Duke of Edinburgh and he gets the vote in a typically wide-open John Smith's Cup. The admirable Haunted Dream and Kihavah, at bigger odds. are live contenders, with Penzance and Liberty Lane also towards the top of the shortlist.

Royal Ascot runner-up EPIC POET (nap) remains well handicapped on his French form and is just the type his trainer excels with.

15:15 Wexford Maiden Chase 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MONBEG PARK wasn't far off the best of these over hurdles winning twice at Punchestown and the point-to-point winner has kept good company over fences including behind the likes of Il Etait Temp and Marine Nationale. Riding arrangements suggest Brazil is preferred of the JP McManus-owned trio and market support for the former Cheltenham Festival winner would be significant. Ambitious Fellow won a valuable 2m6f handicap hurdle at the Galway Festival last summer and had An Peann Dearg and The Friday Man both behind when third to Mayor's Walk on his first completed start over fences at Limerick last time.

A few useful performers clash in this maiden chase. SPACE TOURIST developed into a useful novice hurdler in the first half of last season and is selected to make a successful start to her chase career for the Willie Mullins team. Monbeg Park and J P McManus pair Brazil and Genois head the dangers.

Smart hurdler AMBITIOUS FELLOW had two of these behind when third at Limerick and can show the benefit of that first clear round

Has justified favouritism in two races in the north, looking a useful prospect.

15:25 Newmarket Group 2 (Class 1) 7f Race Class Flow

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

ANCIENT TRUTH is likely to be a warm order for this contest and for good reason. Charlie Appleby's juvenile is unbeaten in two starts and carried a 6lb penalty in taking fashion over track and trip last month, surging clear at the finish. With any amount of improvement to come, he looks the one to beat. Columnist finished a close-up third in the Coventry at Royal Ascot last month and that level of form sets the standard, so he has to be considered. Of the remainder, Line Of Force makes the most appeal.

ANCIENT TRUTH steps into Group company for the first time but he's looked talented and genuine to this point, while his track experience is a big plus, so he's worth siding with over The Parthenon, who remains with plenty of potential. Coventry-third Columnist is also a big player for all he's not bound to relish the step up to 7f based on pedigree.

This is the ideal target for ANCIENT TRUTH, who looks every inch a Superlative type. Pentle Bay is second choice.

15:32 Ascot Handicap (Class 3) 14f Race Class Flow

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

After a ready success over 1m6f at Sandown last time, this appears to be a good opportunity for COCO ROYALE to follow up. William Haggas' charge scored by more than five lengths despite being keen early in that contest, which suggests an 8lb rise in the ratings may not be enough to halt her progression. Wind Your Neck In, on the back of a narrow defeat over 2m at Chester, heads the list of dangers from Tactician.

COCO ROYALE has looked highly progressive, relishing the longer trip when scoring at Sandown last time, so she's fancied to land the hat-trick. Dancing In Paris is thriving and looks a serious threat, while the the 3yo handicap debutant Tactician can't be ignored.

Plenty have each-way claims. The pick may be COCO ROYALE. Her talent has looked on the raw side but she is lightly raced and promising.

15:37 Navan Handicap 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

BLANC DE NOIR has been far from outclassed in better company and can contend in this handicap. He is only 2lb higher than when winning at the Curragh last summer. Rathbranchurch battled hard to win in Bellewstown and his record in Navan (only once out of the money) brings him right into contention. Kevin Coleman won this race last year and has prospects with Only Spoofing. He showed a welcome return to form when a close third behind Rathbranchurch in Bellewstown. Fair Taxes is up 8lb for winning by a neck off the front in Fairyhouse, but he has only had four runs so there should be more in his locker.

Plenty arrive with claims and it may pay to take a chance on BLANC DE NOIR. Not for the first time this season he shaped better than the bare result when sixth at Limerick 6 days ago and he can confirm his present mark a workable one. Last-time-out winners Rathbranchurch and Fair Taxes are others to consider, with Only Spoofing another to bear in mind having run his best race of the campaign at Bellewstown 9 days ago.

It could pay to side with SUNDAY SOVEREIGN who missed the break at Bellewstown and may reverse form with the winner, third and fourth

15:45 York Group 3 (Class 1) 14f Race Class Flow

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

Klondike beat Salt Bay (second) by a short head in the Ebor Grand Cup over track and trip last month, but the latter arguably has more scope for improvement over this distance and could reverse the form. However, they could both be up against it to deny DEAUVILLE LEGEND the win. James Ferguson's five-year-old took the Great Voltigeur here in 2022 and he produced a much better effort to finish third in the Fred Archer at Newmarket last time. Al Qareem is another to note.

KLONDIKE and Salt Bay were 1-2 in a C&D listed race 4 weeks ago and might be the pair to focus on, with Klondike taken to confirm the form over Ralph Beckett's charge. The classy Al Qareem could bounce back with a big run.

There was only a short head to spare for KLONDIKE when he beat Salt Bay in a C&D Listed race, but he can confirm superiority.

15:50 Wexford Handicap Chase 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Railway Hurricane beat all bar the progressive Mousey Brown over a similar trip at Punchestown last month with SLANE HILL about ten lengths behind in sixth. The Barry Connell-trained gelding, winner of his only previous chase start, was right in contention when pecking badly three out and has plenty of scope for improvement. Tag Man won a maiden hurdle at Listowel last autumn and got his chasing career off to a winning start when beating Moonovercloon at Clonmel last month, while French Dynamite hasn't raced in handicap company since second to Ga Law off a similar mark in the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham in 2022.

TAG MAN looked a natural when making a winning chasing debut at Clonmel last time and, with more to come, he's likely to prove himself better than a mark of 135. his stablemate The Short Go is an obvious danger and Slane Hill can still improve as a chaser.

In contention on handicap debut at Punchestown before a mistake three out ended his chance, SLANE HILL is the selection

2-2 on AW; only 1-11 on turf and was comfortably held at Royal Ascot latest.

16:00 Newmarket Handicap (Class 2) 7f Race Class Flow

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

CARRYTHEONE beat plenty of these rivals when having a troubled passage to hit the frame in the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot last month and the seven-year-old goes off the same mark. Ryan Moore, who takes over in the saddle, landed this contest 12 months ago on Biggles and Michael Bell's gelding is more than capable of making amends. Mostabshir finished a place behind the selection that day and commands plenty of respect, while Awaal and Aalto are others to keep an eye on in a wide-open heat.

CARRYTHEONE did remarkably well to get third in the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot given the trouble he met and can gain compensation from the same mark. Second choice is Gorak, who is closely matched with the selection on Rowley course form in the spring and is another who didn't enjoy the rub of the green in the Buckingham Palace. Aalto, Divine Libra and last year's third Awaal also make the shortlist.

The vote goes to AALTO (nap), who has been shaping with promise and gives the impression his turn is near. Gorak is second choice.

16:07 Ascot Handicap (Class 2) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Lord Melbourne was a good winner of the Queen Mother's Cup over 1m4f at York last time and another bold bid can be expected. However, a chance is taken on ZIGGY, who had excuses when finishing third over C&D last time in the Duke Of Edinburgh Stakes at the Royal meeting and Harry Eustace's consistent performer rates the one to beat on that form. Sheradann completes the shortlist on his first start on these shores.

Quite a few to consider but ZIGGY has been shaping up really well of late, better than the result when third in a deep handicap at the Royal meeting last month, so he receives the vote. Lord Melbourne is forced into a better race but he's an improved performer for his new yard so has to be feared, along with La Yakel on his return to action.

Preference is for LORD MELBOURNE who has resumed progress in his two runs for Ralph Beckett. Ziggy is second choice.

16:10 Navan Stakes 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The 101-rated THE EQUATOR is very much advantaged by these weights and this looks a good opportunity for him to double his career total. After he shed his maiden status at Leopardstown in April, he has finished fourth in a Group 3 at the Curragh and fifth in the Group 2 Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot. Sumptuary Law is rattling through the grades having won her last three races to earn her shot at this company. Going Remote displayed a good attitude when winning the Ulster Derby at Down Royal and is going the right way. Inner Success and Naval Force cannot be ruled out.

SUMPTUARY LAW is thriving and is taken to get the 4-timer up with this trip likely to suit her better than The Equator, who is surely more of a stayer. Inner Success could also feature.

A chance is taken on the sole filly in the race SUMPTUARY LAW, who is on a roll and has conditions to suit

Put his experience to good use when going one better at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) recently and while further progress will be needed if he's to follow up here, that is by no means out of the question.
Won Brighton maiden last Tuesday; has a progressive profile; could play a leading role.

Go On Rosie

33

(13) Go On Rosie 33/1, Newcastle debut third in March was a fair effort, but improvement hasn't been forthcoming since and she's another who needs to step up now tried in a nursery.
Has hinted over 5f that 6f will suit & she's a possible contender; unproven on slow ground.

Oakley Boy

18
18/1(-13%)
(7) Oakley Boy 18/1, Much sharper second time out when accounting for 10 rivals in a 6f Chelmsford maiden last month. By no means disgraced under a penalty in what looked a decent novice at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) next time and he's very much of interest now pitched into a nursery.
Won at Chelmsford (AW) last month but soundly beaten on turf either side of that.

(12) Mrbluesky 100/1, Stepped up on debut run when third of 14 in a C&D seller (good to soft), but he was never in the hunt in Chester maiden won by The Flying Seagull 15 days later.
Third in Rous seller over C&D on second start but strength of that form is questionable.

Eighteen Fourteen

80
80/1(-700%)
(6) Eighteen Fourteen 80/1, Failed to build on Pontefract debut promise when down the field at the same course on his penultimate start. However, he took a step firmly back in the right direction when gamely landing a Redcar novice (6f, good to firm) 3 weeks ago. Opening mark fair enough and he merits respect.
Won at Redcar last time and trainer had a nursery winner on Wednesday; one to consider.

(14) Perfidia 100/1, Didn't show a great deal on his first 2 starts but now appears to be on the right path having finished third of 16 in a 6f Nottingham maiden (good to firm) 16 days ago. Further progress likely and he's an appealing candidate for a yard that has saddled the winner of this nursery twice since 2012.
Has improved with each of his three runs and could continue to progress; not discounted.

(2) Call Me Harswell 100/1, Overcame a bad draw when making second start a winning one at Beverley in May. Safely held in a listed race here next time but back on track when fifth in the Hilary Needler returned to Beverley, front rank until fading close home. On the downside, that effort hasn't helped in terms of opening mark.
Some good form over 5f at Beverley but stamina to prove now upped to 6f.

Death Or Glory

66

(8) Death Or Glory 66/1, Form of debut second at Hamilton isn't working out particularly well but it was an encouraging effort all the same, and he again showed promise when a couple of places behind The Flying Seagull in a Class 2 Chester novice. No impact tried on the AW recently but he's not one to write off just yet.
Encouraging second on debut; yet to be build on it but could be on handy opening mark.

16:15 York Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Alashos made every yard of the running to score by a neck at Lingfield earlier in the month and he should be competitive on his nursery debut off a mark of 75. However, the vote goes to TRIPLE CHARGED, who wasn't disgraced in third behind Electrolyte on his penultimate start at Ayr and ran too bad to be true when well beaten at Hamilton last time. Karl Burke's yard remains in great form and he looks the one to be on. Eighteen Fourteen and Perfidia are others to consider.

Given how well the form of his debut fifth over C&D in May is working out, ATOMIC MASS is seriously appealing now venturing down the nursery path off what could prove to be a lenient opening mark. He has admittedly failed to build on that initial promise in two subsequent starts, but time is still very much on his side. There are dangers aplenty, with Perfidia feared most ahead of Alashos, Eighteen Fourteen and Oakley Boy, while The Flying Seagull would have a huge chance if lining up for this.

The 130,000euros yearling TUSCAN POINT earns the vote based on the promise of his fifth placing at the Dante meeting here in May.

16:20 Chester Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

The vote goes to HALIPHON, who was almost able to exploit a sliding handicap mark when filling the runner-up spot at Epsom last time. Ian Williams' charge is afforded an ease in class today and, from an unchanged rating, must hold every chance of going one better. On his first start for the Karl Thornton team, Grey Fable also claimed a silver medal over C&D last month and he is of significant interest. Sutue Alshams is another to consider.

GREY FABLE ended his time with Sheila Lavery in good form and made a fine start for new connections when runner-up over C&D earlier last month, so is taken to finally get off the mark. Haliphon landed this race 2 years ago and showed more to be positive about at Epsom last time, so also merits consideration, whilst Natchez Trace completes the shortlist after an encouraging effort at Catterick.

Karl Thornton's new recruit GREY FABLE can build on the promise of his C&D second last time and gain an overdue breakthrough win.

16:25 Wexford Handicap Chase 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

OUR BOBBY gained a third career win over hurdles at Listowel last month when beating Jake Peter in an 18-runner 2m4f handicap and was subsequently having just his third run over fences when placed behind Theonewedreamof over a similar trip at Tipperary. An initial mark of 101 over fences seems fair and the seven-year-old gelding gets the vote over Thehairyfella who was having his first start for Gordon Elliott when keeping on well in the closing stages to take third behind Marronstown over three miles at Punchestown last month. Kadys Dirha beat all bar Barbaha Queen at Clonmel last time, while others to consider include Lake Chad and Game And Glory.

THEHAIRYFELLA caught the eye starting out for this yard at Punchestown last month and he makes plenty of appeal. The two to fill the places could be Our Bobby and Game And Glory, while Must Be Dreaming is also worth a second look.

The drop back from 3m is a concern but THEHAIRYFELLA showed much more on his first start for Gordon Elliott when placed at Punchestown

16:35 Newmarket Group 1 (Class 1) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Inisherin (first) got the better of JASOUR (third) when the pair met in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot last month and, though the former was undoubtedly impressive on that occasion, it may pay to side with the latter. It was a testament to his ability that he was able to finish third, despite plenty going wrong in the aforementioned contest, breaking awkwardly before racing too keenly throughout. Granted a smoother passage this time around, Clive Cox's C&D winner should make a bold bid to reverse form here. High-class operator Vandeek is on the comeback trail after a below-par effort in the Sandy Lane at Haydock, while River Tiber merits respect back down to arguably his optimum trip.

INISHERIN is potentially the dominant 6f performer judged on his impressive Commonwealth Cup success and, with the obvious potential for further improvement on just his third start at the trip, there's no real urge to take him on. Regional is a tough and most likeable sort who warrants plenty of respect, with Jasour, who shaped better than the bare result behind the selection last time, taken to fill the places.

Mercury Day

4
4/1(+20%)
(9) Mercury Day 4/1, Chased home the now-smart Frost At Dawn on final 2-y-o start/last run for Ralph Beckett and has won both starts for new trainer Conrad Allen, namely a Nottingham maiden and Newmarket handicap (both 1m). A 5 lb rise shouldn't prevent her making a bold bid for the hat-trick.

Dual AW winner; close fourth here before predictably struggling in the Sandringham.

(13) Surveyor 11/1, Bred to be useful and, after 7 months off, showed a good attitude when winning maiden at Lingfield (1m, AW) in April. Not seen to best effect on handicap debut next time, before racing too freely when down the field at Sandown 7 weeks ago. Hood now reached for. Retains potential.
Pulled too hard last time and the hood could be an interesting addition.

Strolled home in a Chester maiden, fulfilling earlier promise; this mark could be lenient.

(11) Cheshire Dancer 16/1, Bounced back quickly from a lesser run at Kempton when resuming winning ways at Newcastle (1m) 15 days ago. Nudged up another 3 lb but her overall profile is steadily progressive.
Latest AW win was a Class 4 when 3lb lower and this race demands more from her.

Returning to 1m won't harm but this mark looks challenging.

16:42 Ascot Handicap (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Fair Point, who breezed to a 20-length success in a 7f maiden at Chester on her latest start, is open to any amount of improvement and rates a serious player upped in trip on her handicap debut. However, this is a much deeper race, where the likes of Canoodled, Bellarchi and AZAHARA PALACE all have their sights lowered after appearances at the Royal meeting. The latter appeals most back on slower ground after her respectable effort in the Kensington Palace Stakes.

FAIR POINT appeals as a lightly-raced filly who should have more to come so she's the suggestion. The main threat might come from her former stablemate Mercury Day, who is going great guns for new handler Conrad Allen. Azahara Palace shaped better than the result in the Kensington Palace over C&D at the Royal meeting and also makes the shortlist along with Surveyor, who could have a bigger performance in her if the hood helps her to settle better.

One who could raise her game considerably is the now-visored SURVEYOR, who has yet to do herself justice in handicaps.

16:45 Navan Handicap 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

This trip really seems to suit ORIOLE. She was successful over it in Leicester and Naas for previous connections and made a bright start to life with Natalia Lupini when a close fourth in the Ulster Oaks at Down Royal. Squire Danagher has two Dundalk victories to call upon and is the highest-rated horse in the field. It'sonlyjustbegun was a never nearer fourth in a good handicap at Roscommon and Keithen Kennedy is value for his claim in these apprentice races. Razdan is capable of a big run especially after winning over flights at Downpatrick in April. Blue Soul is up in trip after delivering in Tipperary, while Explorers Way showed his fortitude in Down Royal and could be progressive.

The pick of these could be IT'SONLYJUSTBEGUN, who appears to be going the right way judged on her recent effort at Roscommon and this stiffer track is certainly a plus where she is concerned. Razdan was successful over hurdles last time and will be a threat if able to continue the good work back in this sphere, while Oriole is third choice ahead of Blue Soul.

It could pay to take a chance on ITSONLYJUSTBEGUN (nap) who did well in the circumstances at Roscommon and seems sure to improve

Tailorman

(16) Tailorman 9/1, Fair form when runner-up in pair of bumpers earlier this year. Some promise on first of 3 quick-fire runs in novice/maidens over inadequate trips and upped his game on second handicap start when runner-up at Chester. Shortlisted.
4th to Le Rouge Chinois at Nottingham (1m6f) two days before his head 2nd at Chester (2m).

Couldn't replicate that when fifth at Salisbury but quickly back on his game when third at Sandown a month ago. Eased further 1lb and has to be of serious interest.
Best effort this term was reappearance, albeit running respectably on latest outing.

Creditable minor honours lately; soft ground maybe against him on sole Flat attempt at 2m.

Bulldog Spirit

28
28/1(-75%)
(10) Bulldog Spirit 28/1, Showed benefit of his reappearance/stable debut effort when second at Hamilton (11f) in May and probably did too much too soon when finishing down the field over that track/trip next time. Stuck to his task pretty well returned to 2m at Chester latest and he's been eased 2 lb since.
Latest start suggested he stays 2m but he needs to better that form substantially.

Not disgraced over 2m on turf last time out, a trip over which she's scored twice on AW.

First run on Flat since 2018 came when fourth of seven at Pontefract (2m2f) latest start.

Good third of 14 in the Northumberland Vase at Newcastle (2m, AW) on latest outing.

16:50 York Handicap (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

LETSBEFRANK showed further progress when upped to 1m6f at Thirsk and returning a cosy winner. This extra distance looks well within his compass, and the hat-trick beckons for Jim Goldie's four-year-old. The veteran Red Force One is enjoying a new lease of life and landed a treble courtesy of last month's Newmarket success, while Tailorman remains unexposed and is another to consider.

LETSBEFRANK is making up for lost time as a 4-y-o, looking a handicapper to keep on the right side of when supplementing his Hamilton win at Thirsk last month. This further step up in trip shouldn't be a problem so the hat-trick may well be on the cards. Duke of Verona may have a bigger performance in him for his new yard, with Tailorman completing the shortlist.

Letsbefrank bids for a hat-trick but slight preference is for TAILORMAN.

16:55 Chester Stakes (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Ayr debut winner ZABEEL ROAD was far from disgraced in the Windsor Castle last month and if handling forecast softer ground, he might be tough to beat under his penalty. That said, fellow penalised rival Flicka's Girl has already proven her ability to handle this track and she looks an obvious threat. She Went Whoosh might have been unsuited by fast conditions at Pontefract recently so it would come as no surprise were she to bounce back.

ZABEEL ROAD has made an encouraging start to his career, fourth home in his group in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot on his latest outing, and he is taken to double his tally back into a novice contest. Fuji Mountain finished 2 places behind the selection last time and could be the main danger, ahead of Up The Clarets.

Charlie Johnston's ZABEEL ROAD posted an excellent ninth in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot and can resume winning ways here.

17:00 Wexford NH Flat Race 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ARCTIC PIPER could be a useful recruit for Pat Foley. She had two spins in bumpers for Barry Fitzgerald, and the form of her third place at Ballinrobe has been well franked as the horses in front of her have both scored since then. She is a sister to a Listed-hurdle winner. Field A Thistles reverts back to a bumper after a solid runner-up berth in a maiden hurdle at Limerick which gives her claims. There is surely more to come from the Closutton representative Get In Line who was tailed off on debut at Downpatrick. Tramore runner-up Reel Orange is another to consider while newcomer Meitheal is one for a market check.

A tricky contest with several of a similar merit but FIELD A THISTLE just about has the best form in this sphere and ran well over hurdles last time, so he's marginally preferred to Ma Bess. Get In Line offered little on debut but could prove a different proposition after 10 months off.

Preference in this test of stamina is for Tramore runner-up REEL ORANGE whose dam is a half-sister to an Ascot Gold Cup winner

Ciro Di Marzio

8.5
17/2(-89%)
(8) Ciro Di Marzio 17/2, Left soft-ground Leicester debut run well behind when winning 7f Kempton novice in October and progressed again after 8 months off when fourth of 7 in course novice (10f, good to firm) just over 3 weeks ago. Capable of better still now handicapping with Ryan Moore booked.
Thrice-raced colt; pleasing reappearance here; big player for last year's winning stable.

(9) Lord Of Love 7/1, Went one better than at Windsor but clearly has quirks that aren't disappearing with experience, quickening clear well inside final 1f despite wandering/carrying head bit awkwardly when leading under 2f out. Now sent handicapping upped in trip and clearly has stacks of ability.
Has to be considered after winning Salisbury maiden last month in first-time cheekpieces.
11
2nd (11) Wonder Kid (5/1 -25%)
Wonder Kid

5
5/1(-25%)
(11) Wonder Kid 5/1, Steadily progressive at 2 yrs and he found the marked step up in trip firmly in his favour when successful on return/handicap debut at Newbury (12f) last month. Brushed off a quick turnaround to follow up under a penalty over C&D just over 3 weeks ago and there's surely better to come.
2-2 in handicaps this year, again impressive over C&D on latest; leading contender.
7
3rd (7) Goodwood Odyssey (7/1 +13%)
Goodwood Odyssey

7
7/1(+13%)
(7) Goodwood Odyssey 7/1, Took his career record to 2-3 when producing a useful performance in 1¼m Sandown handicap in April but found it much tougher from a 7 lb higher mark at Newbury (10f, good to firm) 8 weeks ago. Needs to get back on track after a break.
2-3 on turf; no obvious excuses last time but still lightly raced and this trip may suit.
10
4th (10) Spaceport (14/1 -100%)
Spaceport

14
14/1(-100%)
(10) Spaceport 14/1, Lightly raced and relished the step up to this trip when scoring in game fashion at Leicester last month. Pulled clear of the remainder when runner-up at Salisbury (12f, good to firm) 17 days ago and he remains of interest despite a 5 lb rise.
Improving steadily, Leicester winner then Salisbury second; in the mix once more.
4
5th (4) Parlando (25/1 -79%)
Parlando

25
25/1(-79%)
(4) Parlando 25/1, Scored at Sakhir in February and posted a respectable seventh of 17 in handicap at York (10.2f, good to soft) just over 4 weeks ago. Considered back in class 3 company. Engaged 3.50 York Friday.
Not at his best since returning to Britain in March.
12
6th (12) Love You Darling (100/1 -300%)
Love You Darling

100
100/1(-300%)
(12) Love You Darling 100/1, Off the mark at the fifth time of asking in 1¼m Bath novice event in May but seemingly no longer progressing, third of 5 on handicap/all-weather debut at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 23 days ago. More needed back on turf.
Consistent; third at Wolverhampton last time; faces much higher calibre of rival here.
3
7th (3) Graphite (100/1 -203%)
Graphite

100
100/1(-203%)
(3) Graphite 100/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Some respectable placed efforts on AW at the end of 2023 but off since a below-form sixth of 11 at Kempton (2m) in February. Drops back in trip and has had a wind op since last seen.
Veteran; on a long losing sequence; has had wind surgery since last run.
5
8th (5) Poniros (100/1 -1718%)
Poniros

100
100/1(-1718%)
(5) Poniros 100/1, Won 1m Nottingham maiden on debut last autumn and has progressed in defeat, impressing with his move into the race before finding one too strong in London Gold Cup at Newbury (10f) in May. Too free upped to 1½m at Royal Ascot since, but still appeals as a well-treated sort. Plenty to like.
Has form in competitive races and still looks unexposed; high on the list.
1
9th (1) Andaleep (100/1 -900%)
Andaleep

100
100/1(-900%)
(1) Andaleep 100/1, Proved better than ever in registering a twelfth career success at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 12 days ago, finding it easier than the competitive, big-field handicaps he'd contested at York. Was competitive from marks in the mid-90s last season, so he's certainly not ruled out.
Fine servant; Windsor winner 12 days ago; meets some unexposed rivals here.
6
10th (6) Thundering (100/1 -614%)
Thundering

100
100/1(-614%)
(6) Thundering 100/1, Took advantage of his reduced mark at Ayr last September but hasn't gone on from that effort. However, he's becoming well handicapped and took a step back in the right direction when third of 12 at Carlisle (11.2f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Not one to write off if he can build on that.
None too reliable but better signs last time; well treated on best form and not ruled out.
2
11th (2) Pleasant Man (125/1 -400%)
Pleasant Man

125
125/1(-400%)
(2) Pleasant Man 125/1, Finally ended his run of places over hurdles 4 months on from ending a spell back on the Flat at Fakenham last month but was disappointing under a penalty at Stratford 16 days later. Returns to the level and the likelihood is he'll find a few too good.
Below par over hurdles when last seen and has something to prove back in this sphere.

17:10 Newmarket Handicap (Class 3) 12f Race Class Flow

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

The step up in trip can be the making of LORD OF LOVE, who won going away in first-time cheekpieces over 1m2f at Salisbury last month, and the well-bred son of Dubawi gets the vote to make his handicap debut a winning one. Ciro Di Marzio wasn't disgraced when fourth in a novice event here last month and it would be no surprise to see him feature, especially with the extra couple of furlongs to potentially suit. Recent C&D winner Wonder Kid completes the shortlist, despite an 8lb hike asking a question of him.

Plenty in with a squeak but preference is for WONDER KID, who made it 2-2 in handicaps over C&D just over 3 weeks ago, and with surely better still to come, he's one to keep onside. Ralph Beckett won this last year and he saddles a couple of interesting colts in Ciro di Marzio and Poniros, so they head up the opposition, with Lord of Love another to consider provided he keeps his quirks in check.

This should go to one of the 3yos and Hugo Palmer's progressive gelding WONDER KID gets the vote ahead of Spaceport.

Lord Rapscallion

33
33/1(-65%)
(7) Lord Rapscallion 33/1, It's been a struggle since he recorded his latest success at Newmarket last spring but, on the upside, his mark is on a southward trajectory as a consequence. Not discounted with the visor refitted and a talented apprentice in the saddle.
Wouldn't be a bolt from the blue for him to run well with this headgear reapplied.

3.5
7/2(+30%)
(17) Kodi Lion 7/2, Shaped well sole 2-y-o start and stepped up on his reappearance effort when landing the odds in a 6f Catterick maiden (good) in April. Further progress when second of 15 on handicap bow at Haydock (6f, good to soft) last time, faring best of those drawn low, and he remains unexposed.
Had an unfavourable draw when 2nd at Haydock; interesting now raised in distance.

Pedro Valentino

8/1(-60%)

Had the run of things up front at Haydock and the form has been knocked; 4lb higher.

3rd (5) Burdett (9/1 +0%)
Burdett

9
9/1(+0%)
(5) Burdett 9/1, Ffos Las maiden winner at 2 yrs and added to his tally when taking a 19-runner York handicap (7f, good) in May, evidently well suited by a strong gallop. Couldn't reproduce that form when down the field at Thirsk next time but eased slightly in grade here and he's not discounted.
Not himself last time but he had previously looked good in beating a big field at York.
1
4th (1) Billy Mill (66/1 -450%)
Billy Mill

66
66/1(-450%)
(1) Billy Mill 66/1, Has held his form well since striking at Newcastle in March, posting another solid effort in defeat when third over 1m at Chelmsford last time. However, while he picked up a race at Windsor earlier in his career, he was well held both starts on turf last year and slow ground would be a negative.
Likeably consistent on AW surfaces and such form can transfer well to Ascot.
6
5th (6) Dembe (66/1 -450%)
Dembe

66
66/1(-450%)
(6) Dembe 66/1, Runner-up twice on the AW for new connections this year and remains on a workable mark. Conversely, he has raced just one on turf (at Leicester back in May 2022) and he was well beaten on that occasion.
Running okay but losing run mounts up and dropping back to 7f fails to raise expectations.
15
6th (15) Beau Jardine (100/1 -900%)
Beau Jardine

100
100/1(-900%)
(15) Beau Jardine 100/1, Built on encouraging reappearance when seeing off 6 rivals at Salisbury (6f, heavy) in May. However, failed to beat a rival home back up to this trip at the same course last time and he's probably a shade too high in the weights now in any case.
In career-best form before an excusable failure on fast ground at Salisbury.
12
7th (12) Crimson Spirit (200/1 -1900%)
Crimson Spirit

200
200/1(-1900%)
(12) Crimson Spirit 200/1, Made it third time lucky in a 7-runner Epsom maiden (7f, good) last August but AW/nursery debut display at Southwell the following month was rather underwhelming. Probably best watched here on the back of a 10-month absence.
7f maiden win is okay form and a slow start did for him on h'cap debut; has been gelded.
13
8th (13) Starshiba (125/1 -1289%)
Starshiba

125
125/1(-1289%)
(13) Starshiba 125/1, Winning start for this yard off an 11 lb higher mark on the AW in December. 0-22 on turf but placed on several occasions and he did well all things considered when fifth of 10 at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago. Possibilities granted better luck here with Tom Marquand booked.
All wins have been on the AW but his Doncaster effort after a break was encouraging.
11
9th (11) Sir Oliver (100/1 -614%)
Sir Oliver

100
100/1(-614%)
(11) Sir Oliver 100/1, Latest success was gained off a 10 lb higher mark on the AW in November. Mixed bag since but he did perform with credit when third back on turf at Lingfield (6f, good) on penultimate start and a reproduction of that form would give him an each-way chance.
Two good runs over 6f before perhaps overdoing it up front on his return to 7f.
8
10th (8) Tadreeb (125/1 -525%)
Tadreeb

(8) Tadreeb 125/1, Missed the majority of 2023 and below par so far this year, for all that his latest effort at Windsor (1m, good to firm) was at least a small step back in the right direction. Others are more appealing for win purposes.
Good mark on old form but has found it a struggle since returning from an absence.

All wins on the AW but effective on turf; not without hope despite a tough mark.

(2) Able Kane 300/1, Down to a handy mark and has shaped as though he's on the way back the last twice, latterly finishing fourth of 10 at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) after setting a strong pace. Appears to be fairly versatile ground-wise and a bold show could be on the way.
Last two efforts on ground that would have been on the fast side weren't too shoddy.

Ziggy's Phoenix

(16) Ziggy's Phoenix 300/1, Resumed winning ways at Newmarket in May and not disgraced in 3 subsequent starts, not beaten far when fifth of 9 at Beverley (8.4f, good) last weekend. Not without an each-way squeak off this 1 lb lower mark.
Up and down record; difficult to know whether dropping back to 7f will help or hinder.
4
14th (4) Optiva Star (150/1 -971%)
Optiva Star

(4) Optiva Star 150/1, Won 3 on the bounce at Brighton (all on good ground at up to 7f) last year and positive start to this season when third at Windsor in April. Another solid placed effort in 1m Chepstow handicap last time but probably weighed up to his best at present.
Ran well at Chepstow last time considering he failed to settle; same mark here.
14

Green Power

300

(14) Green Power 300/1, Back-to-back winner on the AW earlier in the year but little impact back on turf the last twice and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.
Hasn't been firing as he can of late and this looks more competitive than usual.
9

Bigger Than Giga

(9) Bigger Than Giga 100/1, Dual AW winner at 2 yrs and though well beaten sole turf start in 2023, she proved that she goes on grass when a good third at Yarmouth (7f, good) on return in April. However, her subsequent display at Kempton represented a step in the wrong direction.
Dual AW winner; Yarmouth third reads well and last time too bad to be taken seriously.

17:17 Ascot Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Rod Millman fields a couple of solid contenders in the shape of Billy Mill and Able Kane, who are both highly effective at this trip. However, the vote goes to BURDETT, who is surely better than he showed at Thirsk last month and, notably, would be giving weight away all round here were it not for his weight-for-age allowance. Pedro Valentino and Optiva Star hold place claims in a competitive renewal.

Several to consider in this competitive handicap. ABLE KANE tops the shortlist on the back of a creditable effort at Newmarket where he was ridden too aggressively. He has slipped to a very attractive mark and is marginally preferred to Pedro Valentino, who improved when striking at Haydock last month. Starshiba makes each-way appeal, while the lightly-raced Kodi Lion and down-in-the-weights Lord Rapscallion are others to consider.

This looks difficult. KODI LION might provide the answer as he did well to hit the frame at Haydock from where he was drawn.

(23) Game Phoenix 20/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 11 in maiden at Naas (8f, good, 150/1) 17 days ago. Up in trip. Makes handicap debut.
Struggled at big prices in three maidens, can only be watched on handicap debut.

Unexposed maiden; upped in trip for handicap debut and probably best watched.

In the form of his life of late; 12lb aggregate rise partially offset by claimer here.

Last year's win in this race came on soft; quicker ground a major concern.

17:20 Navan Handicap 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The last time DOCTOR GRACE encountered a massive field she finished fourth over C&D and a host of winners have come out of that race. Numidia won by six lengths in this grade at Fairyhouse on his penultimate start. He got a hefty rise for that, but a 7lb claimer has been booked so he is dangerous. Barretstown is likely to be popular after winning in this grade at Cork in May. He races off 5lb higher and has Billy Lee's assistance again. Question Of Class was only beaten half a length into second at Limerick and cheekpieces are deployed. He Knows When put in his best performance to date when third at Leopardstown, while Epaulawn is another that could get a cheque.

DOCTOR GRACE has been shaping up well of late, closing all the way to the line having been caught further back than ideal when runner-up at Leopardstown (9f) 23 days ago. She's one to be interested in stepping back up in trip in the hope she gets the breaks. Her stablemate Limestone Red, low-mileage filly Question of Class and Numidia are others worth considering, with Epaulawn also fancied to be thereabouts.

Perhaps the 3yo QUESTION OF CLASS has more improvement in her than most, coming into the race on the back of a good Limerick run

(9) Sibyl Charm 20/1, Successful 3 times in 6f/7f handicaps at Newcastle this year, the latest a narrow success off a 2 lb higher mark in March. Not quite so good returned to turf of late, though, and a clear personal-best will be needed if she's to deliver here.
Last three runs have been below par and she often concedes ground at start; bit to prove.

Has found his niche as a sprinter; narrow winner at Nottingham; likely contender.

Encouraging start for new yard at Chester and now returns to same trip as for sole win.

Not disgraced in big fields of late; no surprise if he's on the premises once more.

Shaped well when fifth of 20 over C&D four weeks ago, and should be thereabouts again.

Knocking at the door, fading only late on at Doncaster last Friday; another to consider.

Has made frame on last nine outings and likely to be in the thick of things again.

Fine fourths over C&D and at Newcastle; may well be the pick of Tim Easterby's four.

Shaped as if running back into form when fourth at Beverley; interesting.

17:25 York Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

A prolific winner on the all-weather, DARK SIDE THUNDER can record his first success on turf. Jessica Macey's sprinter has been raised only 1lb for finishing runner-up over C&D last month and another bold showing looks on the cards. Rock Opera won a shade cosily over 6f at Doncaster and makes more appeal than Elegant Erin, who scored over the minimum trip at Newcastle. As If By Chance, Treacherous and Trilby are others worthy of a second glance.

It was a case of all dressed up and nowhere to go for HIERARCHY at Sandown last month and, on that evidence, he looks ready to strike. As you would expect given that it's a sprint handicap on the Knavesmire, there are dangers aplenty, headed by Maxi Boy and Danzan. Others to consider include last-time-out winners Elegant Erin, Ray Vonn and Rock Opera. The consistent Dark Side Thunder completes the shortlist.

This is wide open and preference for MATTICE is only narrow, but his solid C&D form secures him the verdict ahead of Maxi Boy.

17:30 Chester Handicap (Class 4) 14f Race Class Flow

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

RICH BELIEF battled on gamely to score over 2m here last month and with a subsequent 5lb rise far from insurmountable, the Make Believe gelding is fancied to repeat the dose. Sea Grey was also on target over the same course and distance recently. Conditions are likely to differ today but another bold bid is on the cards, while others to note include Cavern Club and Dreams Adozen.

Competitive fare with the narrow vote in favour of GIBSIDE. A winner at Catterick 3 starts back, he's shaped well in defeat on each of his 2 starts since and could well provide a spot of value stepping back up in trip. Rich Belief, a deserving winner over further here last month, is another high on the shortlist. Gifted Angel, Sea Grey and Dreams Adozen complete the shortlist.

Lots are in with chances but the verdict goes to GIBSIDE, who brings some very solid recent form and can resume winning ways.

17:40 Salisbury Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

A winner over 5f off just 1lb lower here last year, ALPINE GIRL has shown more of her old sparkle of late and, having gained a first success over this trip at Lingfield a fortnight ago, the James Fanshawe-trained filly is an attractive proposition with her bid to follow up. Runner-up on his last three starts, Media Guest also has a lot to offer based on his reliability and again rates a key player for a place. Symbol of Hope and Q Twenty Boy complete the shortlist.

ARLECCHINOS'S GIFT has proved as good ever this year, wasting no time getting back to form when scoring at Wolverhampton 12 days ago, so he is taken to add to his tally for the season. Alpine Girl returned to winning ways with a hood applied on her latest outing and isn't taken lightly, with Media Guest completing the shortlist.

The veteran Q TWENTY BOY ran well in a slightly better race than this at Newbury recently and has a good rapport with Alicia Perkins.

Two wins this season, the latest over C&D last month; should remain competitive.

17:50 Hamilton Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

LADY CELIA makes plenty of appeal returning to a venue where she has won twice in the past. She backed up her comeback victory at Carlisle with a solid fourth-placed effort at Newcastle and looks very dangerous now dropped in class, especially with Archie Young taking 5lb off her back. Not a lot went right for Warrendale Wagyu at Beverley and he is perhaps better judged on his win at Doncaster previously, while Impressor and Zaphea are others to note.

This looks ripe for IMPRESSOR, who produced his best effort of the season so far at Ripon last month and a reproduction of that would surely make him hard to beat. Lady Celia has looked better than ever in two starts since returning from a break in May and she could be the one to follow the selection home. A 4 lb rise for her recent C&D success could find Zaphea out but she shouldn't be far away all the same.

Ski Angel can go well back on slower ground but LADY CELIA (nap)'s latest run can be upgraded and she looks better than ever.

Hasn't won in nearly two years and the outside stall isn't ideal for one happiest up front.

Dual sales race winner as a 2yo who's proved tough to place since; be a surprise winner.

Steps up in class now but manner of that victory suggests he hasn't reached his limit.

Consistent filly; should give her running again dropped from 1m and switched to blinkers.

Returned from 6 months off with a good sixth in the Wokingham (6f) 3 weeks ago and possibilities back up in trip/returned to listed level.
Step back up to 7f on easier ground looks in his favour; is on the shortlist from stall 1.

Group 1 company beyond him at Royal Ascot; should do better tonight under a small penalty.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

18:05 Chester Listed (Class 1) 7f Race Class Flow

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

EVADE was set a stiff task in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot latest, but had made a winning debut for Archie Watson's yard in May when landing a Listed race over 7f at Epsom. He gets the vote on that form. The improving three-year-old Al Shabab Storm looks a threat having won a competitive handicap over C&D, while Vafortino returns to 7f with a shout and is preferred to last year's third Witch Hunter.

WITCH HUNTER has been acquitting himself with credit in pattern company in recent starts, not beaten at all far in the Criterion Stakes despite not having the race run to suit 2 weeks ago. A solid third in this race 12 months ago, a good pace to aim at here will aid his cause and he shades the vote. Vafortino, following his good sixth in the Wokingham, is also considered. Zoum Zoum and Pogo complete the shortlist in a tricky affair.

Evade should do better but VAFORTINO (nap) ran right up to his best under a big weight in the Wokingham last time and gets the nod.

18:15 Salisbury Stakes (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

ORIGINAL OUTLAW showed improvement from her debut when she finished a close third over 6f at Kempton last month and, given the first two home in that race both hold Group 2 entries next month, the daughter of Wootton Bassett is readily nominated given the potential depth of the form. The rest with experience appear destined to do better in handicaps further down the line and with that in mind, well-bred newcomers Royal Playwright and Hawaii Five O might be the ones fighting it out for the minor honours here.

Having cost 300,000 gns as a yearling, ORIGINAL OUTLAW was much improved from debut when a close third at Kempton 17 days ago and, with this extra furlong likely to suit, he could be ready to get off the mark. Royal Playwright makes plenty of appeal on paper and is one to note on debut, while Defence Missile is worth another chance after Royal Ascot.

Last month's Kempton third ORIGINAL OUTLAW moves up in trip here and probably still has significant potential. He gets the verdict.

18:25 Hamilton Maiden (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Tower Of Africa shaped with an abundance of promise on debut (6f) before flopping at Beverley (extended 7f) and she is interesting now trying the minimum trip, but AIRSPEED looks the most solid option. He sets the standard with two solid efforts in defeat and probably won't need to improve much to make it third-time lucky. Joshuas Dream ran a blinder over C&D last month and he could go well again.

Karl Burke's AIRSPEED possesses much the best form so is fancied to get off the mark at the third attempt at the chief expense of Tower of Africa who shouldn't be ruled out despite fluffing her lines at Beverley last time out. Joshuas Dream is improving with his racing and appeals as the pick of the remainder for minor honours.

Preference is for BEAUJOLAIS NOUVEAU who ran well on soft ground on her debut. Tower Of Africa is another to consider.

12
12/1(-118%)
(1) Stop The Cavalry 12/1, 200,000 gns purchase who was a ready winner on her introduction at Haydock (6f, soft) in September. Still in need of experience but far from disgraced when fifth in listed company on final start in November and surprise where she not capable of better in handicaps this term.

(8) Balon D'or 17/2, Son of Kodiac who has gone winless in 13 starts since debut success at Musselburgh (5f, soft) last April. Operating below best on AW when last seen in the spring so he needs to hit the ground running after a break/returned to turf.
Winless since debut last spring and has regressed in recent times; stable form good though.

(2) Eye Of Dubai 5/1, Resumed with a career-best to score at Catterick (7f, heavy) in April and only lost race in Stewards' room on handicap debut at Newmarket (7f) later that month. Had wind op since finishing well held at latter-named venue in May and whilst he's worth another chance his draw makes things tricky.
Had wind surgery; stall 10 obviously isn't ideal back from ten weeks off.

(4) General Assembly 66/1, Quickly reached a fairly useful level upon joining George Boughey, not needing to match previous best returned to turf when winning 5-runner Nottingham maiden (5f) in May. Acquired by connections for £180,000 since and worth a look now handicapping.
Maiden win boosted; picked up for £180,000 and retains some potential now handicapping.

(3) Midnight Affair 33/1, Fairly useful 5f scorer at 2yrs. Not disgraced in stronger company sent handicapping in recent months, eighth of 17 in handicap (40/1) at York (6f, soft) 28 days ago. Assessor has relinquished his grip a little and drop in class rates a plus operating from plum draw.
Landed stall 1 and is another 2lb lower but will need a big step forward to win this.
10
6th (10) Woodleigh (33/1 -200%)
Woodleigh

33
33/1(-200%)
(10) Woodleigh 33/1, Much improved to get off the mark in 8-runner handicap at Ripon (6f, soft) in May and ran respectably behind a pair of handicap debutants when third back at 7f at Haydock 37 days ago. Mark has crept back up a little more but he can't be ruled out.
Soft ground would be preferable back down to an easy 6f from an ordinary draw.

Finished well held on his handicap debut; isn't obviously fancied from a wide stall.

More off this mark latest, when just looking to find a stiff 6f beyond him; leading claims.

Last effort here, when drawn 1, was too bad to be true but leaves him with a bit to prove.

Made all over 5f here in May off a 3lb lower mark and is drawn to attack tonight.

18:35 Chester Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

MAXIMUM IMPACT produced a much better effort at Newmarket on his first start gelded. Beaten less than a length in third, he can return to winning ways with Liam Wright's 5lb allowance helping his cause. General Assembly has switched trainer's since winning a maiden at Nottingham and there should be more to come from him now handicapping, while both Old Chums and Knicks are recent course winners with the former preferred over today's distance.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY quickly reached a fairly useful level for his previous stable, opening his account in maiden company at Nottingham (5f) in May. Acquired by new connections for £180,000 subsequently, his opening mark looks workable with the return to 6f likely in his favour. Maximum Impact, following an encouraging third at Newmarket, and course-scorer Knicks, who is best forgiven his Epsom run, head the dangers.

Tonight's easier 6f on forecast slower ground from stall 2 looks ideal for MAXIMUM IMPACT. General Assembly is second choice.

18:45 Salisbury Stakes (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Time may tell that NATIONAL INTEREST was second to a decent type on his seasonal debut at Musselburgh last month and this imposingly-framed son of Kingman can go one better here. Dropping in trip with first-time blinkers applied, the selection appears to have been given every assistance to break his maiden at the fourth time of asking. Queen Maker is the pick of the rest with experience, while Lzaz and Distinct Spirit are a couple of noteworthy debutants to consider.

NATIONAL INTEREST doens't look the most straightforward of conveyances but has still shown significantly more on the track than his opposition here and should prove up to getting off the mark. Andrew Balding's newcomer Lzaz could pose the biggest danger, with Richard Hannon's Queen Maker perhaps second-best of those with prior racecourse experience.

The most obvious answer is NATIONAL INTEREST, who has been expensive to follow so far but sets a fairly good form standard.

19:00 Hamilton Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

MOYOLA ran out an impressive winner over C&D two starts ago and would have got much closer at Ripon last time but for trouble in running. He certainly looks capable of doing some damage off this unchanged mark of 75, and gets the nod. Dropping back in trip may suit the keen-going Cold Stare and he holds solid claims, boosted by Mark Winn taking 3lb off his back. Slainte Mhath also warrants respect with first-time blinkers applied.

Preference is for MOYOLA, who did the job well when resuming winning ways over this C&D last month and he looked a shade unlucky (encountered traffic problems) at Ripon next time. Slainte Mhath has slipped to a very attractive mark and she is second choice, while Giselles Izzy is also entitled to have a say in the finish.

Cold Stare is a contender but SLAINTE MHATH had an excuse last time and can get off the mark for the season now tried in headgear.

19:10 Chester Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

A winner over the minimum trip at Leicester, CATCH CUNNINGHAM ran well again when runner-up at Nottingham a week ago and looks worth another chance in his current form. Love Wars has been done no favours drawn on the outside, but she went close at Haydock on her handicap debut and could still make her presence felt. Grace Angel has undergone a wind operation and is preferred to The Defiant of the remainder.

The only 3-y-o in the line-up LOVE WARS stepped up markedly on her comeback run and may well have made a winning handicap debut with a clearer run through at Haydock 21 days ago. Easily the least exposed, she's very much of interest and gets the vote to confirm the promise of that effort and come out on top. Dickieburd, if taking up this engagement, and Catch Cunningham are others to consider. The Defiant would also be dangerous if allowed his own way on the front end.

The Defiant may well try to blitz them from stall 3 but this can go to CATCH CUNNINGHAM, who arrives in good form.

19:20 Salisbury Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

ORCHARD KEEPER built on her efforts in novice/maiden company when scoring in style on her handicap bow at Newmarket last month and Roger Varian's filly is fancied to back that performance up, despite a 4lb rise from the handicapper. Warda Jamila didn't seem to get home over 1m4f in the King George V at Royal Ascot and she remains with potential dropping back in trip. Others to note are Roarin' Success and Winterfair.

ORCHARD KEEPER was impressive when scoring at Newmarket just over a fortnight ago and Roger Varian's filly can find further progress to follow up. Elladonna seemed well suited by the switch to patient tactics at Nottingham last time and rates as the main danger, whilst the well-bred Hot Fashion remains of interest on the strength of her novice form.

This can go to ORCHARD KEEPER (nap), who was nicely in command in the closing stages of her handicap debut at Newmarket last month.

19:30 Hamilton Handicap (Class 4) 13f Race Class Flow

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

The consistent Tafsir arrives on the back of a decisive victory over C&D last month and, upped 3lb, he must enter calculations. That said, preference is for MY NOBLE LORD. Michael Bell's progressive three-year-old looked a handicapper to keep on the right side of when fairly bolting up over 1m4f at Ripon latest and, despite a 9lb hike in the ratings, he gets the nod to bring up the hat-trick for his in-form stable. Two Auld Pals is another for consideration.

Sole 3-y-o MY NOBLE LORD stands out as a progressive sort in this line-up and can make it 4 wins from 5 starts this year. Tafsir and Two Auld Pals were both successful over C&D last month and can give the selection most to think about in that order.

The progressive MY NOBLE LORD is the one to beat providing he doesn't get involved in a pace duel with Ebony Maw.

19:50 Salisbury Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

COMPTON BAY had been knocking on the door prior to his most recent display at Windsor when clearly not running up to form. The son of New Bay, who drops back in distance on this occasion, may take advantage of his assured stamina against rivals who have questions to answer in that regard. Sneaky Blinder ran with credit to finish third at Bath last time, while Eagle Landed is capable of a decent showing.

A decidedly weak affair with SNEAKY BLINDER taken to get off the mark having shaped better than the bare result on his most recent outing at Bath. Eagle Landed and Compton Bay are considered the main threats.

He didn't fire last time but COMPTON BAY started off for his new stable with three good efforts and has a good opportunity here.

Consistency hasn't been his strong suit in recent seasons, however, and he was below form at Newmarket last month.

20:00 Hamilton Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

In a competitive affair where a case can be made for many, the tentative vote goes to HELTER SKELTER. Rebecca Menzies' charge was unsuited by the way the race developed when finishing down the field over 7f at Ayr on his penultimate start, before shaping with promise when runner-up over a mile at Carlisle recently. Upped 1lb with a first-time visor replacing cheekpieces, he appeals most. Thewind Cries Mary has showed enough in her three qualifying runs to suggest that she can be competitive in a race of this nature, and she commands attention on her handicap bow. Naval Academy and Classy Boy are also noteworthy.

MYSTERYOFTHESANDS found a bit of progression to shed his maiden tag over C&D 11 days ago and, now up and running, Tim Easterby's 3-y-o is fancied to follow up at the expense of Naval Academy, who opened his account in straightforward fashion at Haydock earlier this month and should remain competitive from 3 lb higher. Thewind Cries Mary and Classy Boy are also considered.

Arkenstaar should be involved but MYSTERYOFTHESANDS can follow up his recent C&D success.

20:20 Salisbury Handicap (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

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

ENOCHDHU ran out a comfortable winner on his penultimate outing at Bath before finishing second at Goodwood when appearing to find 1m6f stretching his stamina limitations. The four-year-old could have more to offer and gets the vote to earn a fifth career success. Premiere Ligne (second) and Lexington Knight (third) were closely matched at Goodwood and the pair are likely to enter calculations once again, while Aikhal's runner-up effort at Sandown last Friday puts him into the reckoning.

CROESO CYMRAEG is in the veteran stage of his career now, but he's lower in the weights than when winning the last 2 renewals of this race and, with a likely strong pace sure to suit, he looks sure to go well at the very least. Premiere Ligne succumbed only narrowly to the late rally of a really game one at Goodwood on his most recent outing and can continue in top form, with Aikhal completing the shortlist having gone close from a much-reduced mark at Sandown last week.

Once-smart 5yo AIKHAL very nearly capitalised upon some significant help from the handicapper at Sandown last week and gets the nod.

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

JUMEIRA VISION has won his last two starts with forceful displays and, off just 3lb above his latest Musselburgh success, he can exploit any weakness shown by the opposition here. A good second over slightly further here last time, Paco's Pride rates the chief danger despite him being winless form 18 previous attempts. Millbuie is the pick of the rest with first-time blinkers noted as a potential source for improvement.

JUMEIRA VISION arrives in top form and is the obvious selection in his hat-trick bid. Paco's Pride is also in form and looks the main danger.

Millbuie may do better now sporting headgear but JUMEIRA VISION is on the up and can complete his hat-trick.

21:00 Hamilton Handicap (Class 6) 11f Race Class Flow

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

Ledger is already a dual course winner and is dangerous to underestimate, despite stepping back up in trip and having to give weight away all round. The Lucinda Russell-trained gelding has a likeable attitude and should be heavily involved if he stays. However, the lightly-raced PENELOPE'S SISTER has no doubts on that score and, off just 2lb above her C&D success from last month, Jim Golide's filly shades preference. Visitant and Miss Harmony are also considered given both are attractively weighted at present.

Preference is for PENELOPE'S SISTER, who left previous efforts behind to open her account over C&D last month and Jim Goldie's filly is totally unexposed at this trip. She can get the better of Sycamore Gap, who took a step back in the right direction when fifth at Newcastle recently and has a first-time tongue tie added today. Ledger and Visitant can fight out third.

In a race that makes little appeal, dual course winner LUNACY, who is back after a wind op, is taken to beat Penelope's Sister.
