13:30 Stratford Handicap Chase (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

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

Heronord (first) and First Angel (third) renew their rivalry from Newton Abbot last month, where the former held the latter by 20 lengths, so it's hard to envisage that form being overturned, even with a 7lb swing in the weights. However, the one to be with is TRAPISTA, who was fourth at Bangor in this grade last time and she ought to go close off 1lb lower. Full Of Light needs to show more if he is to be involved at this level.

HERONORD was always fighting a losing battle when chasing home Guinness Affair at Market Rasen earlier this month, but he faces nothing in the mould of that progressive type here and is taken to resume winning ways. If the addition of a visor helps eke out a bit more from Trapista she will likely emerge as the main danger, given that First Angel needs to bounce back following a heavy defeat in the Newton Abbot race won by Heronord last month.

Preference is for FIRST ANGEL, who won over C&D in May. Trapista is second choice.

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

Louis Treize is interesting with the seven-year-old seemingly at his best here but he was less than a length in front of ON EDGE when winning at this venue in July and meets that rival on worse terms here. Twice a C&D winner, the five-year-old may have the edge on this occasion. Tony Carroll's yard are going well and Under Curfew may be the best of his team, though he may have to settle for a place in this line-up.

An open handicap with BLUEBELL TIME the tentativie selection from her career-low mark fitted with cheekpieces for the first time. Louis Treize isn't an easy ride but he arrives in good order, with On Edge another to consider.

On Edge and LOUIS TREIZE are closely matched on recent starts and the latter is taken to come out on top this time.

13:50 York Group 2 (Class 1) 6f Race Class Flow

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

RELIEF RALLY returned to winning ways in the Super Sprint at Newbury, having been narrowly denied in the Queen Mary previously, and the highly-progressive daughter of Kodiac could be tough to beat with any further improvement. Flora Of Bermuda merits respect following her impressive success at Goodwood, while Beautiful Diamond, who represents last year's winning trainer, can also play a part. Symbology and Cherry Blossom are also noted.

CHERRY BLOSSOM looked something out of the ordinary when destroying a big field at the Curragh under Ryan Moore a fortnight ago and could take this step up in class in her stride. The Queen Mary form is well represented, with Relief Rally, whose only defeat came in that race, and Flora of Bermuda (sixth from unfavourable position) much respected. Star of Mystery didn't get a chance to show her true form at Newmarket and is worth sticking with.

The William Haggas-trained RELIEF RALLY (nap) has the best form and this step up to 6f may well prompt further improvement.

14:05 Stratford Maiden Hurdle (Class 3) 22f Race Class Flow

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

JEEPYDOFF MEEL is the highest rated in this field and he hasn't finished outside of the first two since joining the Philip Kirby yard, so the five-year-old could prove tough to beat. The main threat might be Cheltenam De Vaige, who was hampered on the run-in at Market Rasen last time but still stayed on for second and he could have a say. Franz Klammer can beat Archie Macdart and The Rebel Breen home for third on his return.

JEEPYDOFF MEEL stands out on form and can register his second victory over hurdles. Cheltenam de Vaige is the obvious danger.

This should concern the top two and JEEPYDOFF MEEL, six years the junior of his market rival Cheltenam De Vaige, appeals most.

ATTY'S EDGE has been running well in defeat of late and that includes a narrow defeat at Bath a couple of starts ago. Twice a winner here, the seven-year-old may be able to get the better of the unexposed maiden Corellian Star, who looks his biggest rival in first-time cheekpieces. Fossos and Hastily may prove to be best of the rest.

HASTILY is well handicapped on the pick of her Irish form and down in class fitted with a hood, so she can cash in. Corellian Star is a handicap debutante for a very good yard so she needs considering, along with Atty's Edge.

Fossos and Atty's Edge are solid contenders but CORELLIAN STAR (nap) goes handicapping at a realistic level and gets the vote.

With Richard Hannon having such a remarkable record in this race it may pay to side with PERSICA, who is drawn in the middle giving Sean Levey the ability to track either side. A very easy winner at Salisbury earlier in the month, he may get the better of Ziggy's Condor, an impressive Pontefract winner on his only start to date. Twilight Romance, Ambushed and Dragon Leader are others to consider in a fascinating contest.

Richard Hannon has won this in 5 of the last 7 years and is quadruple handed here. Preference is for PERSICA who looked a totally different proposition when scoring at Salisbury last week and further improvement is surely forthcoming. Richard Fahey also has previous in this and Ziggy's Condor is a totally unknown quantity, with Dragon Leader completing the shortlist.

There's every reason to believe that TWILIGHT ROMANCE can reverse Pontefract placings with We Never Stop. Persica is feared.

Presentandcounting won easily at Perth on his latest outing and is likely to have his supporters on the back of that effort. However, the vote goes to HANG IN THERE, who ran a big race to hit the frame in a valuable handicap over an extended 2m5f at Market Rasen last time. The nine-year-old should appreciate the drop in grade after the handicapper kindly dropped him 1lb. Noahthirtytwored completes the shortlist after his Uttoxeter third.

NOAHTHIRTYTWORED is progressing steadily over fences and finished with running left when third at Uttoxeter last time. He is fancied to score. Cracking Destiny and Presentandcounting rate the principal dangers.

Good cases can be made for most of these but top of the list is NOAHTHIRTYTWORED, who has been in top form the last twice.

Lahab is noted but he will need to step forward from his Kempton third, although he did pull too hard that day and may settle better on his second start of the season. MEXICALI ROSE is becoming frustrating but she has the ability to win a race of this nature judged on her half-length third at Lingfield in June, and a repeat of that may be good enough. Newcomer Naturelle is one to watch in the markets for any signs of confidence.

MEXICALI ROSE stands out on form so has an excellent chance of breaking her duck. Lahab is a clear next best in what is a very thin maiden.

It's been said before about her but MEXICALI ROSE appears to hold a good chance. Clear second on the list is Lahab.

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

Compensation may await POINT LYNAS, who was demoted for causing interference at this meeting last year when first past the post over course and distance. Narrowly denied here in May, the son of Iffraaj should be primed for this valuable contest, with last year's winner Blue For You and Darkness looking best placed to chase him home. Course-specialist Northern Express may be at his very best over shorter but cannot be ruled out, while the consistent Dutch Decoy and Sonny Liston are others to consider.

Plenty in with a shout in this ultra-competitive handicap but Ed Walker's unexposed 3-y-o TERWADA arrives very much on the up so gets the vote under a 6 lb penalty for his convincing Newmarket success. Lots of these bring solid big-race handicap form to the table with Northern Express, The Gatekeeper and Sonny Liston all well in the mix. Last year's victor Blue For You completes the shortlist.

York brings out the best in BLUE FOR YOU and he can win this race for the second consecutive season. Point Lynas is second choice.

STAR LEGEND has shown an aptitude for jumping and has scope for further progression on just his third start in this discipline. Formerly with William Haggas on the Flat, the four-year-old is on a workable mark and should not be underestimated. Bahtiyar is notable returning after wind surgery on his first run for the Dan Skelton yard, while Cumhacht could also be thereabouts.

Having recorded back-to-back wins in the spring, MAGIC MIKE's run of good form came to a halt on heavy ground at Uttoxeter last time, but he can leave his latest effort behind returned to less testing conditions. He is taken to get the better of Bahtiyar, who is on a workable mark making his first start for Dan Skelton, while Star Legend also enters calculations.

The consistent Robber's Bridge is a solid option but BAHTIYAR is taken to exploit a reduced mark on his first start for Dan Skelton

DIAMONDSINTHESAND was slightly unfortunate not to have gained a first career victory at Ffos Las 24 days ago, where he finished within a head of the winner having been denied a clear run passing the furlong marker. Adrian Wintle's gelding is 2lb higher today, but a similar performance could suffice. Dual C&D winner Fact Or Fable looks set to be in the thick of things once again, while Ticket To Alaska is most appealing of the remainder.

DIAMONDSINTHESAND has made a positive start for this yard and can make amends for his unlucky defeat at Ffos Las. Ticket To Alaska and Letter of The Law are feared most.

Barleybrown still has time to do better but TICKET TO ALASKA is down in grade and can finally land his breakthrough success.

SAVETHELASTDANCE has created a big impression this season and this looks like a good opportunity to follow up her success in the Irish Oaks at the Curragh last time. Aidan O'Brien's filly picked up Bluestocking late in the day on that occasion and the daughter of Galileo is fancied to confirm that form. Al Husn appears to be on an upward trajectory and is the biggest danger after comfortably claiming the Nassau Stakes at Goodwood on her latest outing, while Free Wind should also be taken seriously.

It could be worth chancing Middleton winner FREE WIND, who has had excuses on her last 2 starts and arguably has her ideal conditions here. This looks a wide-open renewal, however, with the dangers headed by the Irish Oaks 1-2, with Bluestocking taken to reverse placings with Savethelastdance on this faster ground.

Highly competitive. Savethelastdance could be vulnerable on the gound, handing the initiative to BLUESTOCKING and Al Husn.

LONG CALL showed a likable attitude when a game winner back over hurdles at Bangor earlier in the month and just a 2lb higher mark creates strong hope for a follow-up success. Lady Gwen is an obvious danger given her tenacious performance when winning a mares race here last month and she is taken seriously off just 3lb higher. Herecomesfreddie and Deal Em High are the pick of the rest.

LADY GWEN could have more to offer for new trainer Kim Bailey and is selected to make light of a 3 lb rise for last month's course success. Recent Bangor scorer Long Call looks the obvious danger.

After a winning start for this yard here a month ago, LADY GWEN (nap) must have every chance of defying just a 3lb rise.

There was little to separate Obama Army (second) and Lunanera (third) when the pair met at Ffos Las eight days ago but, though both merit respect, preference is for BELIEVE YOU ME. The daughter of Make Believe powered clear to record a commanding success over 7f here last month and she could be even better now sent over a mile.

BELIEVE YOU ME has a career-high mark to overcome but there was plenty to like about her recent course win so she looks the way to go with this longer trip also a likely plus. Lunar Landscape is feared most on the back of his good Bath second, ahead of Archie Watson's new recruit Lunanera.

It may be worth chancing MAGNANIMOUS MEHMUS who showed ability when trained in Ireland and ran well on his stable debut last time.

SCENIC outran her huge odds to get up for third over an extended 1m2f at this track on her latest outing and she shaped as if the step up in distance would suit. The daughter of Lope De Vega has Oisin Murphy booked and she should not be underestimated. The lightly-raced Sea Theme could have any amount of improvement to come after her maiden victory at Doncaster, while Climate Friendly looks more than capable at this level and should also be considered.

An open if slightly substandard renewal on paper which can go the way of MODAARA, who was a wide-margin winner on return at Kempton and, having disappointed in a Group 3 at Haydock last time, Roger Varian's 4-y-o can get back on the up now dropped in class. Makinmedoit took a step forward without managing to match her borderline smart all-weather form at Salisbury last week, so she heads up the dangers, with Sea Theme and One Evening rounding off the shortlist.

Very open. SCENIC is a 3yo to take seriously, ready for the step up in trip judged on her third in a 1m2f York Listed contest last time.

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

NOR TIME NOR TIDE was well held by the winners of his two maiden runs but has nonetheless shown capable form and drops in grade on handicap debut. Well-bred, he ran with promise behind a subsequently Listed-placed winner over today's course and distance in July and while well held at Dundalk subsequently, met two smart types. His two Group 2 entries are fanciful at this point but should better his 77 rating, under a 7lb claimer. Enthralling's Leopardstown third-placing run in July was a fine effort and while proven on easy ground, was too keen when fading tamely at Tipperary recently. Basilah Bear was well held when finishing third at Gowran recently while The Bear Trap has been gelded since his most recent maiden run in June.

NOR TIME NOR TIDE was a shade underwhelming at Dundalk 9 days ago but the form of his C&D debut second previously suggests an opening mark of 77 could well prove lenient and he gets the nod to make a winning nursery debut with potential for better still firmly intact. The Bear Trap now handicapping/having been gelded is feared back from 55 days off, with Enthralling another to note.

If the ground doesn't deteriorate then BASILAH BEAR has a solid chance of getting off the mark.

CALL OF THE LOON split a couple of useful rivals when a respectable second in a higher grade at Newton Abbot last time out and this provides him with a good chance of doubling his career tally over fences. Humps And Bumps wasn't beaten far here earlier in the month and is feared most over this longer trip. Deadly Missile completes the shortlist with cheekpieces now tried.

CALL OF THE LOON has held her form well since winning this last year so looks the solid option. Sharp Note is a big threat if shrugging off her latest run, with the in-form Cresswell Queen another to consider.

Whereas some of these are wickedly inconsistent, CRESSWELL QUEEN has strung some decent efforts together.

KENSTONE has been in good form recently and the veteran, a dual C&D winner, might be able to take advantage of a workable handicap mark. Coffeemeanscoffee must be feared as she goes in search of a hat-trick, along with the Bath-scorer Luxy Lou, who does not look overburdened by a subsequent 4lb rise in the ratings. Others to note include Hostelry, Galactic Glow and Galileo Glass.

Irish challenger COFFEEMEANSCOFFEE arrives at the top of her game so is fancied to complete a quick hat-trick now stepping back up in trip. In-form duo Galactic Glow and Kenstone appeal as the two to give Tom McGuinness's mare most to do and can chase her home in that order.

Hollie Doyle replaces an apprentice on HOSTELRY and she might give Ruth Carr's mare the bit extra she needs to resume winning ways.

Narrowly beaten on debut over the course and distance in June, CONTENT can make the breakthrough now. Out of dual Group 1 winner Mecca's Angel, the selection finished down the field when sent off at just 5/1 for the Chesham at Royal Ascot. She has further big race entries to her name and it'll be disappointing if she fails to make the most of this opportunity. Aidan O'Brien is responsible for the selection and he also saddles Mayfair, who is given second preference. An encouraging fourth on debut at Galway, it'll come as no surprise if she manages to go a few places better now. The market should be informative in relation to the six newcomers set to take part. Out of Group 2 winner Eziyra, the Dermot Weld-trained Ezeliya looks the most interesting of them.

MAYFAIR didn't achieve as much in form terms as stablemate Content but she was very green that day and is fancied to improve a lot. Ezeliya and Comic book could be the pick of a good-looking bunch of newcomers.

This looks a hot contest but CONTENT, too free at Royal Ascot, is the stable-selected and looked a promising type on debut over C&D

Many are open to improvement, not least Barg, who drops in class and can progress on his nursery debut. Expert Choice is also high on the shortlist after his comfortable success at Beverley 23 days ago and, along with his stablemate Gamraan, he is noted as a progressive type. However, ARAGON CASTLE won with plenty in hand at Epsom on his penultimate start and, having performed well in defeat at Chester last time, his high cruising speed will be a crucial factor.

Impressive when defeating a subsequent winner at Epsom, ARAGON CASTLE lost little caste in defeat faced with much softer ground when runner-up at Chester 18 days ago and, back on a faster surface, he makes plenty of appeal having his first start in handicaps. Richard Fahey launches a three-pronged attack with Expert Choice fancied most. The hat-trick seeking Keep Warm looks ready for the step up to 7f and along with Blue Collar and Lincoln Legacy, completes the shortlist.

The history of this race suggests it may pay to narrow this down to those drawn ten and lower, the vote going to Goodwood second GAMRAAN

LIVIO MILO won on his eighth maiden attempt at the Galway festival and is suited by easy ground and returning to this distance. He bumped into capable types in maidens and at Limerick in June conceded 5lb to the now 91-rated winner. He had the run-of-the-race to win at Galway but can be relied upon. Sandy Creek mightn't want soft ground but won well at Dundalk and has sound claims despite having top weight. Grey Leader progressed well earlier this season and while suited by a mile, hasn't run since June and faces race-fit rivals. Space Age beat stablemate Helter Skelter to win an ordinary Tipperary maiden and both are now 7lb-claimer ridden, with inexperienced Helter Skelter being 6lb better off. However Space Age was beaten 5.5 lengths by the selection last October and is now 5lb better off, inclusive of jockey claims. Kalikapour has been well held in two handicaps this summer.

GREY LEADER has been absent since June, yet he again looked a good prospect when making it 2 wins from 3 starts at Listowel on that occasion and he shades the vote with further progress distinctly possible. Livio Milo and Sandy Creek head up the dangers, whilst Space Age can't be discounted either in a competitive race of its type.

The topweight SANDY CREEK (nap) makes most appeal, having impressed with how she won her maiden at Dundalk last time.

I LOOK HOW I LOOK is a full-sister to the multiple Grade 2 winner Nube Negra and she could be hard to stop on her racecourse bow. Mill House Creek shaped with promise on her debut last month and she ought to improve for that initial experience. Little Madam makes enough appeal on paper to warrant a market check ahead of her first outing.

Irish-raider MILL HOUSE CREEK and Luna Breeze showed enough on their respective debuts to suggest that they would feature prominently in a race of this type. Preference is for the former, who was fourth behind a potentially useful one from the Willie Mullins yard at Killarney and a reproduction of that effort would probably suffice. That said, I Look How I Look and Little Madam are likely-looking newcomers and need close attention in the betting.

The eyes are drawn to I LOOK HOW I LOOK, a sister to Dan Skelton's top 2m chaser Nube Negra. Luna Breeze is second choice.

This looks a good opportunity for MAKING TIME, who is the most experience runner in the line-up and was tried in Group 3 company on her penultimate start. She since caught the eye when finishing well to take minor honours at Dundalk and the step up in trip here to seven-furlongs may prove ideal. Alpha Cephei has two solid efforts to his name and is given second preference. Sixth in a stronger affair on his most recent outing, it'll come as a surprise if he not involved towards the business end here. Romford ran well on debut, but since disappointed at Galway and a reproduction of his initial effort should see him go close. With five newcomers in the line-up, the market should be informative. Ciao For Now and Ocean Odyessey are the most interesting of those starting off, with Colin Keane a positive jockey booking on the latter, who was third in a barrier trial at Naas in May.

MAKING TIME is the clear pick on form so is the obvious choice. Gesture is a newcomer to note given his Group 2 entry, with Ocean Odyssey and Ciao For Now other likely types.

Dundalk third Making Time is the pick of those that have run but maybe OCEAN ODYSSEY can score on debut for his in-form yard

Completing the shortlist are the likes of Back See Daa, Eximious and Nigiri.

NIGIRI has had plenty in hand when landing both her handicap starts and she's fancied to complete the hat-trick at the possible expense of Unequal Love, another 3-y-o who arrives on a roll. The likeable Sophia's Starlight is also high on the shortlist.

Some of these fillies are far from exposed, not least UNEQUAL LOVE who has been making great strides of late and can do better yet.

SALT LAKE CITY finished 16th at Galway but met traffic. Fifth at Group-1 level as a juvenile, this year's season form was encouraging prior to becoming lit-up at Galway and is closely matched with Cosmic Vega on July Leopardstown form. Cosmic Vega, who carries a Listed-winners' penalty, was no match for the first two horses at Cork recently and while ground-versatile, would have a much stronger chance on soft ground. Comhra could start a conversation, having finished third in the 1,000 Guineas before a well-publicised Royal Ascot withdrawal due an urticaria rash. Her Guineas run was excellent but flopped twice in July although reverts to a favourable distance. However she, the selection and Cosmic Vega all finished within three or four lengths of Zarinsk on previous form, which hints that Comhra needs her best. Didn'thavemuchtodo's best form is over slightly further while fellow C&D winner Howyoulikethat has place claims following a Group 3 fourth-placing. Mister Mister finished seven-lengths sixth over 1m2f at Compiegne in July.

A leap of faith is required in supporting COMHRA on the back of a pair of lesser displays but a return to the form she displayed when third in the Irish 1000 Guineas gives her sound claims returned to calmer waters and she could just be worth chancing back down in trip. Fellow 3-y-o Salt Lake City and Cosmic Vega are others fancied to play lead roles.

If COMHRA was to come back to the level of her Irish 1000 Guineas third then she will take beating.

The five-year-old is open to improvement over further and she gets the vote ahead of hurdling debutant Gearing's Point and Love Mystery, who has plenty of experience.

CAST A SPELL made all in a Southwell bumper on her first outing for Gary Moore and can follow up on her hurdle debut. A repeat of the form Love Mystery has shown on his last 2 outings should see him bang there, while Sheena West's Gearing's Point merits respect now switching to hurdles on the back of a good spell on the Flat.

A wide open contest, with FERRARI DESERT the suggestion. A fine third on debut at Navan in May, she had four subsequent winners in behind. While disappointing on her next start at Listowel, she since put in a much-improved performance to finish a solid fifth on her handicap debut at Dundalk. On Our Radar won that Dundalk contest and he reopposes now, but with a 10lb swing in the weights, the selection might be able to reverse the form. Off a mark of 47, Goldmoyne led home 22 rivals to win at the Curragh recently and while 11lb higher now, it'll come as no surprise if he manages to follow-up. Saturn Seven deservedly made the breakthrough at Limerick in June and is sure to have plenty of supporters. While the market should be informative, others of interest are Alabama Pearl (first time visor), Who Not What and handicap debutant Irish Rumour.

The vote goes to SATURN SEVEN, who showed plenty in maidens and duly improved when making a winning handicap debut at Limerick in June. She displayed a good turn of foot that day and looks capable of overcoming this 4 lb higher mark. If Not Just Yet is able to get back on track he could easily take a hand in the finish, while Alfarida and Alabama Pearl both make each-way appeal. Goldmoyne and On Our Radar were winners last time but have gone up 9 lb apiece, which will makes things tougher.

A sporting selection goes to LAW LADY who ran better than her finishing position here last time and the trainer does well here

17:55 Chelmsford Maiden (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

WONDERWALL has made a pleasing start to life on the Flat after successive second-placed efforts at Pontefract and Doncaster, and he can go one better on this occasion. Richard Spencer's charge is likely to be running on well at the line and he can shed his maiden tag. Arctic Mountain is feared most after a good run when second over 1m2f at Nottingham latest, while Delta Legend is also respected.

DELTA LEGEND cost plenty as a yearling and comes from a good family, so he's worth a chance to make a successful start for all that he'll need the experience to some extent. Wonderwall is an obvious player if he doesn't find the trip on the sharp side.

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

DROP THE DIP landed a gamble in June, has twice run well since with today's rider now claiming 7lb. Soft ground might be a concern but a reproduction of either of her last three runs would give her every chance and reverting to a mile will suit. Great Blasket won on 283-days-reappearance on handicap debut eight days ago (Allo Arry was third) and while 6lb higher, is also now ridden by a 7lb claimer. He can continue to progress and steps up a furlong. Status Green has been running well while Night Moon has course form but drops markedly in distance. Kodihill is another three-year-old skulking at the bottom of the weights and showed improved form at Gowran (Rock Etoile finished fourth) but has a wide draw. Consistent Simply Sideways likes a mile while Dazzling Spirit has been running over seven but is a previous C&D winner. Rockbury Lad runs in first-time blinkers.

Plenty are in with a shout. SIMPLY SIDEWAYS shaped well when third at Gowran last time having conceded first run so is fancied to quickly resume winning ways off an unchanged mark. Status Green is feared most on the back of his good Ballinrobe third with few miles still on the clock too. Gowran-scorer Great Blasket and C&D winner Dazzling Spirit also need factoring into a competitve handicap.

Having run well in defeat on consecutive days last week (hampered second time) ROCKBURY LAD could make amends with blinkers.

FRANKIE FAULKNER got off the mark in commanding fashion over timber at Newton Abbot last month and the step up in trip could eke out further improvement on his chase debut. With point-to-point experience under his belt, the son of Malinas should take to this discipline and it may be that strong stayer Paris Dixie gives him the most to think about. One Man Party cannot be ruled out either.

FRANKIE FAULKNER rather stands out on profile as a last-time-out hurdles winner who switches to fences in a very winnable handicap. He can also call upon success between the flags so he's a fairly obvious choice, with Paris Dixie the main threat.

HALF NUTZ is the suggestion in this competitive affair. A six-time winner, the chestnut gelding has been running well of late. Slow into stride, as is a regular occurrence, over the course and distance last Thursday, he finished strongly but ultimately couldn't peg back Barbapapa, going down by just half-a-length. Like the selection, Ferrybank has also been knocking on the door in recent starts. He was collared in the final strides on his latest visit to Leopardstown and it'll come as no surprise if he manages to go a place better now, with Sorcha Woods claiming a valuable 7lb. As a dual course and distance winner, Amanirenas warrants respect, despite the fact she disappointed when sent off favourite last week. In truth, very few can be safely ruled out in this wide-open contest, with Hightimeyouwon, Eastern Wind, Chavajod and Lady Arwen other leading hopes.

HALF NUTZ was rather unfortunate not to win here last week and can make amends off the same mark. Furnace Creek went close at the Curragh recently so is feared, while Ferrybank should be in the mix again.

It might be worth giving another chance to the frustrating HALF NUTZ, unlucky here last week and with a good draw for a hold-up horse

BELO HORIZONTE arrives here seeking a hat-trick after wins at Yarmouth and most recently at Lingfield on Monday, and this looks to be another good opportunity. Richard Spencer's runner has hardly been tested in those victories and connections are looking to strike while the iron is hot. Adace is also a last-time-out winner, scoring over 1m at Windsor, and she rates as the biggest danger to the selection, ahead of Shabs.

BELO HORIZONTE is on the up and scored with ease at Lingfield 3 days ago, so he's a confident choice to complete the hat-trick. Fellow last-time-out winner Adace is the main danger and Twistaline should give her running.

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

CHIMERIC was well held at a much higher level at Chepstow recently and being a July course-and-distance winner, he should run well. Skontonovski, a seven-time winner, is 6lb higher than when scoring at Dundalk recently but should run his usual race. He is a C&D winner, along with Ano Manna, a less-exposed three-year-old who ran well in a big-field Curragh handicap recently. Three-time winner Run The Jewels was slowly away when well held on his only run this year, while Qaabil's only win was over this distance on fast ground. Sir John Monash was well beaten at Galway but had previously shown form at this level.

SKONTONOVSKI had been given a chance by the handicapper and took advantage when returning to winning ways at Dundalk last week. Able to race off a 2 lb lower mark here, he makes fair appeal in his follow-up bid. Ano Manna and Portmagee head the list of dangers.

Ano Manna must go well but so might SIR JOHN MONASH, who ran a good first race for this yard and now goes in a tongue-tie.

CITY OF RUINS has shaped on his two starts to date as though a win could be just around the corner and he's fancied to shed his maiden tag. Donald McCain's charge was beaten just under five lengths last time when a clear second over the extended 2m at Stratford, and he can go one better in this contest if taking another step forward. Unification is having his first run over timber after being with Jim Bolger in Ireland and commands respect, while Book Of Tales can also have a say.

A few of these bring potential, not least CITY OF RUINS who was a promising runner-up at Stratford last time and can go one better now. Dance Havana could emerge as the chief threat to Donald McCain's charge, with hurdling newcomers Book of Tales and Unification also in the picture.

WALTHAM has been ultra impressive in two starts to date and the exciting Roaring Lion colt is taken to extend his unbeaten record. Both his wins have come at this venue and he goes out in trip now by another two furlongs. The likely quick ground is a slight cause for concern, with his trainer Ger Lyons commenting after his most recent win: "I'd say he needs an ease in the ground to be at his best and to be safe." Of those with a mark, there is just 3lb between six of them. The O'Brien clan are responsible for half the field, with Aidan's Alexandroupolis given second preference. Third when odds-on in the Ballysax Stakes in April, he steps up in trip now and it'll be interesting to see how he fares. An easy winner at Navan in July, Harbour Wind is two from three and is another leading hope.

WALTHAM has created a fine impression at this venue, winning both starts by 9 lengths in total and he can take the step up in grade in his stride. Alexandroupolis is also open to plenty of progress on his third start, while Amusement is more exposed but is a key player on form.

The unbeaten WALTHAM(nap) in two runs here has looked an exciting young stayer and he can make the step up

CRACK REGIMENT was a modest third on his latest outing over 7f at Yarmouth but he is fancied to return to his best form back on the all-weather. Henry Spiller's six-year-old was beaten just a head into second on his penultimate outing over 7f at Kempton and he appears primed to offer a bold bid off the same mark. Covert Mission is a consistent performer and he should run his race, while George Morland commands respect too.

FINERY is on a handy mark and tends to save her best for this C&D, so she's fancied to get back to winning ways. Crack Regiment is also back under more suitable conditions returning from a break, so he's a danger and a solid showing from George Morland seems likely.

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

JESSE EVANS was touched off for the second time in a Galway Hurdle recently, is at his best on a sound surface and is suited by this flat distance. A winner at Leopardstown last month, he is consistent and should compete from his rating. Shanroe shoulders top weight but seems made for races over 1m6f on easy ground and should also challenge. Last Ammo defeated Mon Coeur to win at Galway but as the pair finished 13 lengths of the third, each was hit with respective 14lb and 10lb rises. Easy ground may have brought about improvement in Last Ammo while Mon Coeur made use of his preserved 80-rating to win at Galway three days later but now faces a tougher task. Mr Rango finished 1.5 lengths behind Last Ammon at Ballinrobe and while now 11lb better off, is exposed at this level. Grecian Slipper's best form is over shorter distances and has enough weight while Marvelosa isn't ahead of the handicapper. Mr Escobar went out alarmingly quickly at Galway.

JESSE EVANS arrives on the back of a very good Galway second so is fancied to go one better now at the chief expense of recent Galway scorers Mon Coeur and Shanroe who can chase home Noel Meade's 7-y-o in that order.

Plenty with chances in a competitive renewal. MARVELOSA continues to run well and will effectively carry only 8st 1lb.

A very open contest and a chance is taken on TANGO ECHO CHARLIE, who was a mile in front of his closest pursuer when second over the extended 2m7f at Uttoxeter last time. He looks well worth a chance on his fencing debut. The consistent Hardy Boy shouldn't be ruled out, while Sermando should also be thereabouts on the back of his Worcester second.

HARDY BOY may not be the most fluent of jumpers, but he's acquitted himself well on all completed starts over the larger obstacles so far and Ben Pauling's 6-y-o is narrowly preferred to double his tally back down in trip at the expense of Sermando, who was unlucky to bump into a handicap blot reverted to fences at Worcester 4 weeks ago. The lightly raced 9-y-o Tango Echo Charlie makes his chasing debut and he looks best of the remainder.

He's not for everyone, but if on his best behaviour HARDY BOY can capitalise on the drop back in trip, ahead of Friary Rock.

While without a win in 11 starts, ALEXANDER JOHN might finally make the breakthrough here. The highest-rated of those with a mark, the Luke Comer-trained colt has been highly tried and was a respectable eighth in the 2000 Guineas at the Curragh in May, before again running with credit in the Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot. Fourth at Galway on his most recent start, he may appreciate a return to quick ground now. Dermot Weld has his horses in fine form and the master of Rosewell House is represented by Walsingham. A brother to dual-Group 3 winner Duke De Sessa, the bay colt has some solid form to his name and it'll be disappointing if he is not involved towards the business end. Second on his three starts to date, Pivotal Revive is tried in cheekpieces for the first time and it'll come as no surprise if he manages to prevail. Cheekpieces are also tried on Highland Rahy and with a mark of 80, he is another leading hope.

PIVOTAL REVIVE has found just the one too strong on all 3 of his starts but his form is progressive and the fitting of headgear can see him go one better. Alexander John and Walsingham are others to consider.

WYVERN showed marked improvement for the application of a first-time visor over C&D latest, headgear which is retained, and he has only gone up 2lb for that second-placed effort. Aljari is seeking a hat-trick after showing his versatility by securing a double over different trips, and he warrants plenty of respect too. Riot is a C&D winner who is well treated off a mark of 81, so he's noted as well.

ALJARI is in the middle of a resurgence and did well to get up having met trouble at Windsor last month, so he's fancied to complete the hat-trick for all that this looks a reasonable event for the grade. Riot has been in good order and should be on the premises again, while Wyvern deserves respect having found only one too good over C&D last time.

BAROMETER has a good course record despite not winning at this track. A useful stayer, he has three runner-ups and one third-placing from five course runs, comes here in good form under a 4lb claimer and is ground-versatile. Zileo was behind the selection here in July and while his only win was in France in April 2021, ran well over this distance when finishing second of 21 at the Curragh 11 days ago. Rich Belief was well held over hurdles last month but won over a similar flat distance in April and seems ground-versatile. Keen-going Wrecking Ball Paul has useful bits of form but is a handful while Viceregent ran well at Ballinrobe in July but has won just once from 33 career starts. Votre Homme runs in his first handicap while nine-race maiden Chatterbox ran well here last October. Five-time winner Jake Peter has been well held recently.

ZILEO reacted well to blinkers when second in a more competitive event than this at the Curragh last time and he's fancied to go one better if the headgear continues to have a positive effect. Barometer and Viceregent look the chief threats.

The 8yo BAROMETER continues to knock on the door and he so nearly won this 12 months ago off the very same mark.

BASHFUL BOY won as he liked over the extended 2m5f at Newton Abbot last time and he looks primed to follow up. David Pipe's charge has been raised 8lb for that 10-length success and that doesn't appear likely to halt his progression. Watergrange Jack also won last time out over 2m4f at Worcester, but a 4lb rise for that neck success may leave him vulnerable to some better treated rivals, while Uggy Uggy Uggy should also be on the scene.

UGGY UGGY UGGY has shown improved form on his last 2 starts, closing all the way to the line when runner-up at Cartmel on his latest outing, and he can continue his progress as he goes up in trip. Bashful Boy isn't taken lightly, though, in his bid for a cross-code 4-timer, while The Height of Fame can also go well back at this course.

ADELAISE should appreciate this drop in class and she looks the one to beat with Wayne Hassett claiming 7lb. The Lawman four-year-old has been competing in valuable handicaps of late and has acquitted herself well. She went down by just over a length on her penultimate outing at Royal Ascot and that piece of form looks very strong in the context of this race. One of two three-year-old's in the line-up, Galway winner Fratas is given second preference. With Jamie Powell's claim, she will carry over a stone less than the selection. A dual course and distance winner, Helpmeout is another leading hope. A generally consistent performer, the Mastercraftsman chestnut should give a good account of herself. A close-up fourth over the course and distance last month, Touching Clouds is sure to have plenty of supporters, while top-weight Celtic Crown and Gowran winner Letiza are others that warrant respect.

This looks pretty open but the return to 1m will suit ADELAISE and with a good-value 7 lb claimer on, she looks the one to be with. Helpmeout and Fratas are a couple of potential threats.

Plenty of these have chances but ADELAISE is on a mark she can win off and maybe Wayne Hassett's claim can help get her over the line

Geelong is likely to be up there in the market after his clear second at Kempton last week, but he can be slowly into stride which could cause problems from stall one. Therefore, the vote instead goes to BUFORD, who had the aforementioned gelding and Socialist Agenda (fifth) behind when only narrowly denied in this grade last time at Wolverhampton. Ask Peter carries 5lb extra after her Hamilton success and she isn't out of it either.

SOCIALIST AGENDA wasn't seen to best effect when well backed and fifth making his handicap debut in this sphere at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago, not ideally placed off a modest tempo, and he's worth chancing to take a step forward given his exploits in bumpers/over hurdles. Geelong is proving consistent and is feared, with Bath scorer Big Jimbo and Steel Helmet completing the shortlist.

PIED PIPER hasn't run since April but may have been kept for a slightly later campaign this summer. A Grade 2-winning hurdler, he finished sixth in last year's Ascot Stakes but bypassed the royal meeting this year and reappears in a suitable race with his rider claiming a helpful 5lb. M C Muldoon, runner-up in the 2021 Ascot Stakes, was Grade 2-placed over hurdles in the past and returned from 664 days off when running well at Galway. He should improve from that but is three years older than the selection and mightn't match his pace. Minella Mate won at 66/1 at Galway and while the runner-up scored subsequently, is nonetheless greatly flattered by a 104-rating. Minella Mate is progressive but faces a stiffer test. Almuhit disappointed at Galway but had previously run well in staying Curragh handicaps while nine-time winning ten-year-old Seddon is difficult to fancy on his first flat start. Balaclava has run 33 times and has never worn headgear.

PIED PIPER and Seddon bring lots of hurdling expertise here and can fight out a good finish on the level here with preference for Gordon Elliott's high-class hurdler. M C Muldoon is another to consider for a yard which has an excellent record in this event.

Preference is for PIED PIPER, a classy hurdler who has also shown good Flat form for the Gosdens and Gordon Elliott.

The Waiting Game attracted strong market support over C&D last time, and she duly obliged by banging out of stall three and making all in a classified stakes event. She merits consideration again, but preference is for FISCAL POLICY, who just got up at the death at Wolverhampton last week and, providing the quick turnaround doesn't pose him any problems, he could be tough to stop. Oriental Spirit is another to note.

Having been strong in the betting, THE WAITING GAME justified good support when winning with a good deal to spare in a C&D minor event 9 days ago and she could just be worth chancing to build on that returned to handicaps under a penalty. Oriental Spirit is lurking on a dangerous mark and remains low-mileage on AW, so he's feared, with Mostallim and Fiscal Policy also in the mix.

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.
