14:10 Chelmsford Stakes (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

BAY CITY ROLLER justified favouritism when making a winning debut in a decent novice race at Sandown last month. George Scott's colt should have no issues racing on Polytrack and he's taken to defy a 7lb penalty. $155,000 debutant Via Con Me is a half-sister to Graded stakes-placed Cool Beans and any market support for the son of No Nay Never would be interesting, with fellow newcomer Rock D'oro making most appeal of the remainder.

A few newcomers offer potential but BAY CITY ROLLER looked a good prospect when making a winning debut at Sandown and can defy a 7 lb penalty. Rock d'Oro (second choice), Via Con Me and Mekhled all appeal on paper so could emerge as the main dangers to George Scott's New Bay colt.

Having landed a gamble on last month's Sandown debut, BAY CITY ROLLER sets the standard. He holds several big-race entries this autumn.

(3) Isle Of Wolves 9/2, Thirty runs since last win in 2019. Good second of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) in June, headed late on. Didn't appear to do much wrong so needs considering despite losing sequence.

(8) Annandale 5/1, Comes here on a lengthy losing run but very much caught the eye on second start having rejoined this yard when fourth of 12 in handicap at this course (11.2f) 8 days ago, finishing with running left. Worth a look significantly down in trip.
Four wins at up to 1m5f; eyecatcher when 4th here last time (1m3f); 1m perhaps too short.

Modest performer who is hard to fancy.

(5) King Sharja 12/1, Fallen plenty in the weights and back on track, landing back-to-back handicaps at Beverley (7.4f) in recent weeks. Rates a live player in hat-trick bid up 4 lb.
Has won two 7.5f h'caps on good to firm on last two runs but this softer going not ideal.

Aldbourne

40/1(-150%)
(1) Aldbourne 40/1, Dual winner on Flat for Harry Eustace during 2022. Largely disappointing last season and whilst he's yet to feature over hurdles for present stable, some of his efforts haven't been devoid of encouragement. Still, others rate stronger back on the level.
Two wins over 1m2f in 2022; not run as well since (over hurdles last twice); headgear on.

Maiden; on a fair mark despite being 1lb out of the handicap; more needed.

14:18 Carlisle Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

A winner at Redcar last month, Star Of St James made it two wins from two under Stephanie Dorey when making all for a clearcut success at Nottingham recently. The pair have formed quite the partnership and he must be respected up 9lb, but preference is for BALLSBRIDGE. The selection went down by half-a-length to the former at Redcar last time, and on significantly better terms he can turn the tables. The hat-trick-seeking King Sharja enters calculations, as does Isle of Wolves.

ANNANDALE's losing run tempers enthusiasm but he very much caught the eye when fourth over further here 8 days ago, finishing with running left having been set a lot to do. He could be worth chancing to build on that effort down significantly in trip. Ballsbridge for the in-form Jennie Candlish yard and thriving pair Star of St James and King Sharja are others to consider.

Despite his 9lb rise for his easy win over 1m2f at Nottingham last time, STAR OF ST JAMES is taken to win again.

14:25 Ffos Las Maiden (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

A small field where the form on offer suggests that SIR PALAMEDES can go well with Kieran Shoemark in the saddle. Well beaten at huge odds last time out over five furlongs, that effort came in the Super Sprint at Newbury and he may be better judged on his short-head second at York over this trip in July when there was cut in the ground. A similar performance may see him get the better of Nottingham third Kokabah, with newcomers Seven Symphonies and Apache Green worthy of a market watch.

Preference is for SIR PALAMEDES, who posted his best effort yet when runner-up in a nursery on easy ground at York last month and can be forgiven his last outing. Kokabah looks the obvious danger.

A close second in a York nursery two runs ago SIR PALAMEDES is proven on ground slower than good and gets the vote ahead of Kokabah

14:30 Navan Handicap 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

PEREGRINE FALCON appeals on her first try in handicap company. Successful in a barrier trial at Naas in May, she finished third after attempting to make all on her official debut. Thought good enough to take her chance in the Albany at Royal Ascot, she finished down the field there, before again failing to make a significant impact on her most recent start. Out of a sister to dual-Group 1 winner Fascinating Rock, she is fitted with a tongue-strap for the first time now and it'll be disappointing if she's not involved towards the business end. Easily dismissing her rivals at Sligo earlier this month, Gloriously Glam is given second preference, while her stable companion Wise Men Say also warrants respect. The highest rated runner in the line-up, Last Encore looks to have strong claims, while James The Second and Hugo's Girl (first time tongue-strap) are others for the shortlist.

WISE MEN SAY had an excuse in a valuable sales race at Naas last time and looks well treated judged on his Cork win prior to that. His stablemate Gloriously Glam scored so easily at Sligo last time that even a 13 lb rise doesn't leave her handicapped out of things. James The Second had the worst of the draw when fifth to Gloriously Glam at Sligo and should get closer to her this time.

Unusually, LAST ENCORE is able to run in a nursery after only two maiden starts and he can get off the mark with a top claimer

14:40 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Although unable to score on the turf on his last three outings, dual Tapeta winner MERESIDE MADNESS shouldn't have any issues now racing on Polytrack. The application of first-time blinkers may eke out some improvement from the Buratino gelding and he's taken to regain the winning thread. Gaiety Musical enters handicaps off a fair mark judged on her recent close-up third at this venue and she's feared most, ahead of Laguna Boy.

SHELBOURNE was beaten only by a pair of improvers at Lingfield last time and gets the vote back down in class. Mereside Madness has won his last 2 starts on AW so is next best ahead of Cervaro Della Sala.

Preference is for SHELBOURNE who got his career back on track with a good third in higher-grade company at Lingfield this month.

14:48 Carlisle Stakes (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow

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

NORTHERN TICKER caught the eye when keeping on for third over this course and distance on his debut in July. The son of Mehmas put his rivals to the sword at Newcastle next time and a penalty is unlikely to prevent him from mounting another stern challenge. Airspeed sets the standard with an official rating of 81 and he is the main threat, while Reddeef, who displayed some promise on his racecourse bow at Newmarket earlier in the month, is also noted.

As anticipated, NORTHERN TICKER confirmed the promise of his C&D debut third when running out a ready winner at Newcastle 4 weeks ago and with that form working out he makes plenty of appeal in his follow-up bid under a penalty. Airspeed is progressing gradually and feared returned to novice company. Reddeef, following his encouraging debut effort at Newmarket, is another to consider.

An interesting novice event in which Newcastle winner NORTHERN TICKER is taken to follow up by beating Hamilton winner Airspeed.

14:55 Ffos Las Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

With no winning form to work with, it may pay to side with SAYTARR, who finished third last time out at Southwell when keeping on at the one pace and races off the same mark here. The application of first-time cheekpieces are also likely to enhance his credentials. She Went Whoosh is not comfortably overlooked after her Leicester third and she is well worth another try at 6f, leaving top-weight Dark Thunderstorm to chase them home.

SAYTARR left the level achieved in his qualifying runs behind when third in a soundly-run nursery at Southwell 11 days ago and with cheekpieces fitted, he looks a big player from an unchanged mark. The return to 6f will suit She Went Whoosh and she's feared most, ahead of Dark Thunderstorm.

The return to 6f should suit SHE WENT WHOOSH and she has also shown she acts on soft ground so makes the most appeal.

15:00 Navan Handicap 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Eddie Lynam saddles three of the 15 in this competitive affair. Bidding to complete a four-timer, the progressive KEKE is the standout name of his representatives. Successful when drawn widest of all over the course and distance in June, he is again in the outside stall and upped just 3lb for his latest win at the Curragh, the Dandy Man bay might still be ahead of the assessor. Universally, who has already won twice this season, is likely to enter calculations, while others for the shortlist include Mehman and Moltophino.

KEKE continues on an upward curve and his habit of winning by narrow margins has helped to protect his handicap mark. He makes plenty of appeal. Transcendental and Universally head the list of dangers.

The progressive KEKE began his winning sequence drawn wide at this venue. He is again on the outside and may make it four in a row

15:10 Chelmsford Maiden (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

This may be dominated by 92-rated pair Dancing Magic and SKIPPER, with the latter's unexposed profile edging him the vote. The three-year-old arrives on the back of a close-up second in maiden company at Southwell and he looks sure to pick up a race of this nature soon. The aforementioned Dancing Magic has some strong handicap form to his name this season and he isn't taken lightly on his all-weather debut. Odin Legacy may chase the duo home.

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and SKIPPER, who boasts some strong form, looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to open his account on the back of his excellent Southwell second last time out. The Crisfords' newcomer Buon Viaggio could emerge as the one to chase him home, especially if the market vibes are positive, ahead of Dancing Magic who also has the form to have a say if back on his A-game.

This is between Dancing Magic and SKIPPER. Preference is for the latter who has proved most progressive in his three starts.

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

VALENTINE CATCHER returned from a 248-day absence to score on his handicap bow at Nottingham recently, an effort for which he was subsequently raised 2lb. Tim Easterby's charge remains open to any amount of improvement and, given that he seems versatile regarding ground, it would be no surprise to see him go in again. Eye Of Dubai performed with credit in a class 2 at Chester last month and must be respected down in grade, while Roberto Caro is most appealing of the remainder.

VALENTINE CATCHER made light of an 8-month absence and looked potentially useful in the process when making a winning handicap debut at Nottingham 16 days ago. Nudged up just 2 lb, he remains unexposed and is very much of interest again. Roberto Caro and Eye of Dubai may emerge as the chief threats.

An interesting handicap in which the vote goes to VALENTINE CATCHER who should improve on his reappearance win at Nottingham.

LUNARSCAPE won for the first time in close to two years here over a mile on heavy ground recently, and an added 2lb might not be enough to stop the follow up. Beau Gars could prove best of the remainder.

QUESTIONABLE was right back to form when second here 3 weeks ago and with 2 subsequent winners coming from that, the race has a solid look to it. She looks the way to go from the same mark with Lunarscape the obvious danger.

This can concern QUESTIONABLE and Lunarscape as the other three all have some serious questions to answer.

15:30 Navan Maiden 5f  Race Speed Rating Flow

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

With no Treasure Isle to contend with, SARATOGA SPECIAL might be able to take this. Second to the aforementioned Aidan O'Brien-trained colt on her two starts to date, the latest of which was a Listed heat, she looks to have an easier task on her hands now. Jessica Harrington is responsible for the selection and also saddles the 85-rated Passing Phase. Beaten just half-a-length by Sir Yoshi when last seen at Tipperary in May, he had the useful Rudi's Apple a place behind. Snapdragon is the other standout name in the line-up. A £240,000 yearling purchase, the No Nay Never colt was collared close home over 6f at the Curragh recently and should be suited by the drop to 5f. Barrier trial winner Town And Country and Naas fifth Island Girl are others of interest.

SARATOGA SPECIAL sets the bar high for a race like this on her recent second in a Curragh listed contest and should get off the mark at the third time of asking. Snapdragon and the selection's stablemate Passing Phase can fill the places.

Twice runner-up to the same Ballydoyle-trained opponent, SARATOGA SPECIAL(nap) can go one better at the main expense of Snapdragon

15:40 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

A winner at Salisbury last month, SNEAKY BLINDER made another determined bid back at the same track on his latest start and looks capable of scoring off his current mark on that evidence. Indian Romance produced her best effort so far when runner-up over course and distance and will likely be winning at this level sooner rather than later, while Hardman steps up in distance with a shout after finding only one too good over a mile at Redcar.

HARDMAN ran his best race from his reduced mark when just failing at Redcar 3 weeks ago and can go one better if seeing out this longer trip. Sneaky Blinder and Indian Romance head the dangers.

Unexposed filly INDIAN ROMANCE (nap) was a creditable second over C&D a fortnight ago and could easily have more to offer.

15:48 Carlisle Handicap (Class 5) 7f  Race Class Flow

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

Greek Gift has an obvious chance after a very comfortable success over the extended 7f in a similar race at Beverley a fortnight ago, with a 7lb higher mark looking a fair assessment. However, SUZETTE was just ahead of Karl Burke's filly when they clashed at Redcar on her debut in May and, having shown promise in two starts since, the daughter of Zoustar shades preference on her nursery debut. Miss Cast and Sealine have similar profiles and are others for the shortlist.

MISS CAST showed a little more than previously when third at Thirsk 6 weeks ago and, with the switch to handicaps/step up in trip both rating likely positives, she's selected to take a step forward and come out on top. Greek Gift scored in good style at Beverley 2 weeks ago and is feared, with Sealine and Big Bug completing the shortlist.

The slower ground is a query for Greek Gift and preference is for MISS CAST who should be suited by 7f now she goes handicapping.

15:55 Ffos Las Stakes (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

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

BEELEY sets a fair standard in this contest with a rating of 84 after hitting the crossbar on each of her last two starts at Kempton and she can transfer that form to turf in order to go one better. Consuelo has made the frame the last twice and takes a slight step up in trip, so she has to be respected. Of the remainder, Final Entry makes the most appeal after his victory over the smaller obstacles at Newton Abbot.

Despite finishing second 4 times in 5 starts, BEELEY doesn't do an awful lot wrong and this could be the day for her deserved first success. William Walton's pedigree is eye-catching to say the least so he demands a market check, with Consuelo likely to be seen in a better light returned to turf upped slightly in distance.

The Gosden filly BEELEY chased home smart fillies on her two AW starts this summer and she's effective on slow turf too.

16:00 Navan Maiden 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The James Barrett-trained MIGHTY DAY has shaped well enough on both starts to date to suggest he can make it third time lucky. Fifth on his racecourse debut at Galway earlier in the month, the U S Navy Flag colt then backed that up with another solid effort at Gowran Park last time. Granted normal improvement from those initial runs, he should be hard to beat in this grade. Baltray Lady, who finished behind the selection at Galway on debut, improved to finish runner-up at Roscommon on her second outing. However, at her claiming price, she is worse off at the weights with the selection. Dr Ali needs to improve on what he has shown to date, but trainer Ger Lyons places his horses extremely well in these races so the gelding has to be respected.

RUNNINSONOFAGUN holds the edge on form so is taken to open his account at the chief expense of Mighty Day, who rates next best on the figures. Baltray Lady and Dr Ali appeal as the duo who can fight it out for minor honours.

Solid in three maidens runs, including when running on over 6f here last time, RUNNINSONOFAGUN can stay this trip and get off the mark.

16:10 Chelmsford Stakes (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

SUNSET IN PARIS struggled at Newmarket last week, but John Jenkins' six-year-old won a classified contest at Lingfield before that and another a bold bid is expected back at this level. Daphne May wasn't far behind the selection at Lingfield, although she was partnered by a 7lb claimer on that occasion and reopposes on less favourable terms, while Trackman has been in the mix in classified races at Yarmouth recently and could feature again.

SUNSET IN PARIS can quickly resume winning ways back down in class. Trackman is the obvious threat having had no chance with the winner when second in a similar event at Yarmouth 3 weeks ago, with Daphne May best of the others.

Preference is for SUNSET IN PARIS who has been successful the last three times he has raced down at this level on the AW.

16:15 Newbury Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

In what looks a closely-matched field, Mecca's Symphony could go well after a running-on third over this trip at Thirsk, and we may see a much better performance when she learns to settle. HORUS is narrowly preferred after his Catterick fourth and as a son of Expert Eye, the seventh furlong may bring the improvement needed. Stan Moore's Thiscouldbefun looks attractively weighted with Joe Leavy's 5lb claim and she is also considered.

After shaping well on her first 2 starts, GEO ended up furthest away from where the race unfolded at Windsor last time, so she remains capable of better as she makes her nursery debut. She is preferred to Sabrimento, who was also better than he could show at Epsom on his latest outing, with Tiete completing the shortlist.

Several of these are potential improvers for the switch to handicaps and CROCODILE RIVER may be the best of them now she's back at 7f.

16:20 Carlisle Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

JONNY CONCRETE showed a game attitude with first-time cheekpieces added when he made all at Ayr 19 days ago and, having gone well when second on his only previous visit to this venue, another bold showing is expected from Iain Jardine's gelding off just 2lb higher. Dual course winner Strongbowe hinted at a revival at Thirsk last time, although the progressive Rockymountainway may be more of a threat on just her fourth start in a handicap.

STRONGBOWE was a back-to-form second at Thirsk a fortnight ago and has handicapping scope if he can build on that having scored over 1m here last year off 6 lb higher. The main threat may come from 3-y-os Rockymountainway, who travels up from Newmarket, and Jonny Concrete, a recent winner at Ayr.

Progressive ROCKYMOUNTAINWAY (nap) is taken to resume winning ways on the back of her excellent Yarmouth second last time

16:25 Ffos Las Handicap (Class 6) 10f  Race Class Flow

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

DOUBLE RED was well held in second in a class 5 event at Newbury earlier in the month, but the handicapper kindly dropped him 1lb for that display. The son of Belardo has first-time cheekpieces applied and he could be the one to beat. Zambezi Magic has filled the top two places on each of his last two outings, including a C&D victory in July, and it would be no surprise to see him get involved. Bloodhound is another to note.

ZAMBEZI MAGIC has returned to form at this course on his last 2 starts, only narrowly denied over 1m last time, so he is taken to resume winning ways as he goes back up in trip. He can get the better of Bloodhound, who showed improved form when runner-up here on his latest outing, with Change of Fortune also considered.

Resurgent 7yo ZAMBEZI MAGIC (nap) remains very well handicapped on old form and may well be the answer.

16:30 Navan Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

While a wide draw is an obvious cause for concern, SEA CHARIOT still looks one of the stronger contenders. The John Joseph Murphy-trained four-year-old should appreciate stepping back up to a mile here having stayed on strongly when third over 7f at Naas last time. Although both career wins have come on the all-weather at Dundalk, the gelding also has some solid form on turf. Annexation is drawn widest of all the runners, but, as a confirmed hold-up horse, that may not be as much of a negative. Expect to see Billy Lee thread his way through the field on the long uphill climb to the finish. The lightly raced Bucaneer's Spirit is one of the lesser exposed contenders. A winner at Cork earlier this month, the three-year-old could still be ahead of the handicapper.

PUNK POET caught the eye dropped down to a barely adequate trip on return from 8 months off when fourth at Naas and could be the answer returned to a suitable distance. This does look competitive, though, with Nituna, Bucaneer's Spirit and Imposing Supreme heading the dangers.

From a low draw IMPOSING SUPREME gets the vote to supplement a Galway festival win achieved off 5lb lower.

16:40 Chelmsford Stakes (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

BATTLEOFBALTIMORE won in this grade over today's distance at Yarmouth in July and reverts to the minimum trip after finishing third over 6f here. Dylan Cunha's inmate has the edge over last week's Wolverhampton winner Bernard Spierpoint on these terms and looks likely to feature at the finish once again. Next Second beat Restricted in classified company at Newcastle last month and could also have a say in proceedings.

NEXT SECOND rates the pick at these weights so looks the way to go on the back of her solid Wolverhampton third behind Bernard Spierpoint who can go well again. Battleofbaltimore is another to enter calculations.

Another chance is given to RESTRICTED, who was poorly positioned last time and is better judged on his C&D second two starts ago.

16:45 Newbury Maiden (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

HOLD A DREAM seems sure to prove popular after being sent off joint-favourite on her Sandown debut, when staying on over 5f for a one-length second, and that experience and step in trip could make her the one to beat today. Newcomer Motabaah has to be of interest and is bred to be speedy, so she is worth a market watch, while Pontefract second Glamour Show and Blue Point filly Sky Majesty are others to consider.

This looks a deep maiden with MAISSARA rather leaping off the page given her pedigree and sales price. Sky Majesty also ticks plenty of boxes on debut, with Hold A Dream sure to improve on the form of her opening effort now tackling 6f.

The market will help sort out some choice-looking newcomers butGLAMOUR SHOW already has C&D form in the book and gets the vote.

16:50 Carlisle Handicap (Class 5) 9f  Race Class Flow

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

DANDY'S ANGEL has posted her best efforts when faced with a stiff finish and the well-handicapped mare looks worth another chance back down in trip given she is 1lb well-in this time. Sandown runner-up Rose Branch has a similar profile and is a must for consideration on these terms, while previous course winner Golden Melody is not ruled out from a competitive mark.

ROSE BRANCH ran well from a similar mark at Sandown and is taken to resume winning ways for Hugo Palmer. It might be worth forgiving Bateman a lesser run last time as he'd started well for Gemma Tutty prior to that. Dandy's Angel is next on the list.

A few with chances but ROSE BRANCH came in an excellent runner-up at Sandown last time and with that form reading well she gets the vote

17:00 Ffos Las Handicap (Class 6) 16f Race Class Flow

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

HUMANISTE was far from disgraced when finishing fourth over track and trip on his penultimate start and he produced an even better effort to make the frame at Lingfield last time. Joe Tickle's nine-year-old was dropped 1lb for that display and he gets the nod. Lumberjack made a pleasant start for the Barry Brennan stable as he finished fourth at Kempton earlier in the month and could have a say if he translates that form to turf. Queen Of Steel is a player based on her second at Lingfield two starts ago.

TARBAT NESS has a poor strike rate but continues in good form and given his only win came in this race last year he could be well placed to strike. Triple Nickle, on an even longer losing run but who went close here last time, is feared most ahead of Mr Tambourine Man.

The suggestion is last year's winner TARBAT NESS, who is admirably consistent and won't mind what the weather does.

17:05 Navan Handicap 14f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Although unable to complete the hat-trick when only fifth at Galway last month, EMPRESS ALMA can resume winning ways. The Gavin Cromwell-trained filly ran on strongly close home in a manner that suggested she will enjoy this stiffer test. Given that that latter race was in a much higher grade, the daughter of Holy Roman Emperor should find this assignment easier. Highland Bells was no match for Empress Alma at Down Royal on his most recent outing but is considerably better off at these weights. If he has improved in the interim, the Michael Mulvany-trained gelding can get much closer. Recent Hamilton winner Gregorina will find this harder but has to be respected on the back of that success.

A tight-knit handicap in which EMPRESS ALMA edges the vote on the back of her good Galway fifth when set a lot to do. Hamilton scorer Gregorina heads the list of dangers, although in-form trio Highland Bells, Northern Sonas and Fine Print all need factoring in too.

Having gone close over just short of this trip at Sligo last time, FINE PRINT can get off the mark off 1lb lower.

17:20 Newbury Maiden (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

The only form worthy of a mention here is the Ascot third of Saariselka, but she was beaten close to eight lengths at the line and may be susceptible to a decent newcomer. William Haggas and Tom Marquand teamed up to win this race in 2021 with Sense Of Duty and they have a good chance again with Blue Point filly BLUE SECRET, who cost 150,000gns as a yearling, and she may get the better of Kebili, who looks the Hannon first string under Pat Dobbs.

SAARISELKA made an encouraging start under very considerate handling when third in a Ascot novice and can put that experience to good use. The well-bred Blue Secret holds an entry for the Rockfel Stakes and is the standout newcomer.

Ed Walker's SAARISELKA was short in the market for her debut at Ascot and she didn't shape at all badly after being slowly away.

17:25 Carlisle Handicap (Class 5) 9f Race Class Flow

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

DETECTIVE saves his best for this venue and this six-time course winner is an appealing option under a 4lb penalty for last week's return to form over 7f here. This longer trip holds no fears for the selection and it would come as no surprise to see him stamp his authority under top-weight. Bushfire is feared from a competitive current rating, while others to consider include Solara and She's Got Bottle.

Iain Jardine's DINGWALL was better than the result at Ayr last time and can show he's still on a good mark now. Last week's course scorer Detective is second choice ahead of Hugo Palmer handicap newcomer Solara.

It could pay to side with Iain Jardine's DINGWALL who has thrived since hooded and deserves extra credit for his recent good Ayr fourth

17:35 Navan Handicap 14f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Although successful just once from 31 starts, ENQUIRE WITHIN has been running well enough to suggest that she can make her presence felt. A definite positive is the fact that her sole win came over course and distance. Wesley Joyce, who was in the saddle on that occasion, has also been booked for the ride here. The well-bred Lady Kai landed some tidy bets when making a winning reappearance at Killarney last month. Only 5lb higher now, the Ross O'Sullivan-trained mare might be improving fast enough to overcome that rise. On the evidence of his latest two starts, Tannery Park should really appreciate this stiff test of stamina. His trainer Barry Connell was amongst the winners on the Flat at Roscommon recently.

A big field but the eye is drawn to EAGLES REIGN, who was talented enough to finish second in a Fred Winter and on that basis, his Flat mark looks very lenient back from a break. Elzaamsan and Paradise Lost are a couple of potential threats.

Though raised 5lb for winning over 1m4f at Killarney last time, LADY KAI can improve enough from that seasonal debut and score again.

17:45 Southwell Handicap (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Damascus Steel bounced back to form when scoring at Kempton earlier in the month and providing he can back that triumph up, he could get into contention off a 3lb higher mark. However, the vote goes to LA PULGA, who only failed to make all by half a length when second over this trip at Newcastle last week and he goes off an unchanged mark. Charlie Johnston's five-year-old may only need to produce a similar performance in order to go one better. Natzor is another to keep an eye on.

DANCING IN PARIS has built up a very solid record in handicaps this term, unlucky not to finish a shade closer at Ascot 3 weeks ago and he looks weighted to strike returned to the AW. Who's Glen is unexposed after just 4 starts and looks the pick of the 3-y-os, with La Pulga another to take seriously having finished ahead of a few of these when second in a Racing League handicap last week.

The vote goes to LA PULGA (nap), who is 3lb well in following his close second at Newcastle a week ago with two of these behind.

2-2 for this yard and 3lb rise for Windsor seems fair; gives the impression he'll stay 7f.

17:55 Newbury Handicap (Class 4) 7f  Race Class Flow

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

An open contest in which many will fancy their chances, including Bona Fortuna, who completed a double at Windsor last month, and Scarlet Lady. The latter romped home at Yarmouth recently and is officially 8lb well-in today, although this is undoubtedly more demanding. Rating was narrowly denied over C&D last time and she might improve for the addition of first-time cheekpieces, while handicap debutant Murashah is one to monitor closely in the betting. However, a chance is taken on FOOL'S GOLD . On target at Windsor last September, he went on to make little impact in the Flying Childers just 11 days later. There were signs of encouragement on his seasonal return, though, and a step up to 7f could be the making of him.

Lots with chances but BONA FORTUNA hasn't looked back since joining Mick Appleby and is fancied to make light of a 3 lb rise and go 3-3 for the yard now stepping up to 7f for the first time. Scarlet Lady goes unpenalised for her recent Yarmouth victory so rates an obvious threat, with handicap debutant Murashah and the handily-weighted Mercian Warrior also well in the mix. Fool's Gold completes the shortlist.

This is very open. A chance is taken on NORTH VIEW who ran well at Ascot in a race that suited those ridden more handily than he was.

However, he's been absent since underperforming at Leicester the following month (subsequently gelded).

18:14 Southwell Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

The hat-trick seeking Great Max struck by two lengths at Doncaster on his latest outing and he should make another bold bid off a 7lb higher rating. However, GRAND KARAT looks the way to go. Harry Charlton's three-year-old had Another Investment (second) behind when scoring by two and a half lengths over this track and trip last month, and he has scope for further improvement on only his fourth handicap start. Noodle Mission completes the shortlist.

This looks ultra competitive with RACINGBREAKS RYDER shading the vote having shaped very well off this mark the last twice. Great Max, Kodi Lion and Noodle Mission make up the shortlist.

Unexposed 3yos Grand Karat and KODI LION look the pair to focus on and the selection can confirm the promise of his Ascot victory.

18:30 Newbury Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

The form of ROGUE ENCORE's Windsor third has worked out well, with the runner-up going in twice since then. Peter Chapple-Hyam's gelding is just 1lb higher now and he can step forward on this second start following wind surgery. Devoirs Choice, a narrow victor at Redcar recently, appeals as a likely contender having been nudged up just 2lb in the ratings, while others to note include Never Better, Glendower and Rich.

NEVER BETTER returns from a break as a 3-y-o with the profile of one who should have more to offer so he's the suggestion. Fellow 3-y-o Devoirs Choice has only been nudged up 2 lb for his recent Redcar success and is second choice ahead of Rich, who shaped well here last time, and Glendower, the mount of William Buick.

Ed Dunlop's PRESSURE'S ON has shown he can threaten off this mark and Lingfield last time didn't go to plan at all.

18:43 Southwell Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Jungle Land shed his maiden tag in commanding style at Redcar in May and the son of Kodiac has since joined the George Boughey stable. He should mount a strong challenge, but he could come out second-best to the in-form HABOOBA. The daughter of Nyquist secured a double at Wolverhampton earlier in the month and a 4lb rise could prove to be on the lenient side, so she gets the vote. Kodiac Thriller is another to take seriously.

BE FRANK's early-season form proved particularly strong so, starting out for new connections from a handy draw, he could well be worth siding with to come out on top on his AW debut. Unsurprisingly, plenty in opposition hold solid claims, dangers headed up by Sondad, Kodiac Thriller and Jungle Land. Northern Spirit also commands a second look operating from an attractive mark.

Sondad hasn't reached his ceiling yet but BE FRANK starts out for Ian Williams off a tempting handicap mark.

In form; back in trip and in his own age group, he might be the one.

19:00 Newbury Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

A step up in trip worked a treat for BILLIEGEE, who scored over today's 1m4f distance at Doncaster last month. James Ferguson's filly scored a shade cosily on that occasion and she looks capable of defying a 4lb rise in the ratings. Al Khawaneej River has posted two solid efforts in defeat since opening his account at Windsor in May and he's feared most, while Salik is a potential improver now upped in distance.

A tricky puzzle to solve despite the small field but BILLIEGEE resumed her progress upped to this trip when scoring at Doncaster last month and with further improvement anticipated, James Ferguson's filly shades the vote over Al Khawaneej River, who seemingly didn't quite stay when upped to 13.3f here 7 weeks ago. Salik can fill out third.

Back to a shorter trip and back against his own age group, AL KHAWANEEJ RIVER might be the answer to a tight handicap.

19:12 Southwell Handicap (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Warmonger has been making hay in lower-grade contests, but will find life tougher after being raised 10lb for winning at Kempton, and SHAGPYLE is marginally preferred. The Frankel filly wasn't disgraced in a more competitive race at Newbury last time and is only 1lb higher than when successful at Ffos Las before that. Manxman has placed in all three starts so far this year and the return to this longer trip will suit, while Solent Gateway is expected to go well from the top of the handicap on the back of finishing second at Nottingham.

Lots with chances but Sir Mark Prescott's WARMONGER is improving in leaps and bounds so can defy a 10 lb weights hike for his commanding Kempton success and rack up his four-timer. The Crisfords' Manxman heads the list of dangers on the back of his good Ascot third with Solent Gateway, Cardano, Robusto and Cinnodin also in the mix.

It may be worth siding with SOLENT GATEWAY who has won over 2m on Tapeta at Wolverhampton. He remains 5lb below his last winning mark.

19:30 Newbury Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

ONE COOL DREAMER has proved a different proposition since adopting more positive tactics, as evidenced with victories at Windsor and Newmarket of late. A hat-trick looks a strong possibility off just a 4lb higher mark than his latest success and Alan King's charge shades the verdict over Laura Bay. The daughter of New Bay regained the winning thread in ready fashion at Sandown last month and a 4lb rise in the ratings is unlikely to prevent another bold bid. Wootton's Jewel is also noted returning to his only winning distance.

ONE COOL DREAMER has been on the upgrade of late and looks up to defying another 4 lb rise to complete the hat-trick. Charming Whisper has shaped better than the bare result on his last 2 outings and also makes the shortlist, with recent Sandown scorer Laura Bay also in the mix.

There should be a big run in CHARMING WHISPER (nap) who has not had the luck on his last two outings.

19:41 Southwell Handicap (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow

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

TROPEZ POWER appears to save his best for this track and returns to Southwell for the first time since scoring here in April. He would have finished closer than fourth at Wolverhampton last time with a clear run and gets another chance in an open affair. Oliver Show failed to help his cause by hanging in the closing stages at Yarmouth and he can go close if first-time cheekpieces have the desired effect, while Pjanoo merits a second glance back over today's trip after placing over 7f at Kempton and is just preferred to the progressive Great Acclaim.

In a really competitive heat a chance is taken on first-time headgear sparking a return to form for HELM ROCK, who is dangerously well treated on his exploits at this time last year and has the added bonus of Oisin Murphy doing the steering. His London & The South teammate Great Acclaim has got on a roll this summer and heads the many dangers along with fellow 3-y-o Magnum Opus and Team Ireland's Oliver Show.

Oliver Show could have further progress in him but this could be run to suit the in-form course specialist TROPEZ POWER.

Won by a neck at Kempton this month; can't be dismissed easily from a 3lb higher mark.

20:10 Southwell Handicap (Class 3) 11f  Race Class Flow

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

Fantasy Believer goes well for Saffie Osbourne and another bold showing can be expected off just 3lb higher than his Racing League success at Chepstow three weeks ago. However, this is a deeper race and, on a very different surface, a chance is taken on the less-exposed MIGHTY NEBULA. The selection has shown promise in three previous handicap starts and is an attractive proposition with the step up in trip a potential source for improvement. Dream Harder and Cracksking are others to consider.

Several in with a shout in the penultimate contest of Racing League 2024 but sole 3-y-o ALPEN POWER makes most appeal for Charlie Johnston having taken advantage of a drop in the weights at Kempton earlier this month. Nudged up 3 lb, he can follow up at the expense of Dream Harder, who was seemingly better than ever when narrowly denied at Ascot recently. Mighty Nebula, who is having his first crack at this trip, can edge out Great Bedwyn for third.

It may be worth taking a chance with DREAM HARDER. All four AW wins have come on Tapeta and he was only just beaten at Ascot last time.

20:40 Southwell Handicap (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Several of these have solid credentials, not least the hat-trick seeking Star Of Lady, who is 5lb well-in under a penalty and is an obvious candidate on these terms. Fellow last-time-out winners Nazron, Toca Madera and Tatterstall also command respect in their respective bids for back-to-back successes. However, as a previous C&D winner, last-start Haydock scorer JER BATT could be the way to go given the switch to a synthetic surface raises less of a question regarding the suitability of the surface.

STAR OF LADY M is in the form of her life and a 5 lb penalty for last week's emphatic York victory may not prevent a follow-up here. Nazron and Jer Batt head the list of dangers in what looks a highly competitive finale.

Star Of Lady M is the obvious starting point but both Jer Batt and THE CALTONIAN are feasible alternatives.

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.
