1st (2) Serving With Style (5/2 +0%)
Serving With Style

2.5
5/2(+0%)
(2) Serving With Style 5/2, Overcame inexperience when making a winning start in 6-runner maiden at Carlisle (6.9f, good to soft) 44 days ago, well on top by the finish. Open to considerable progress so she's a major player upped in trip.
Another debut winner for yard last month; 1m will suit; leading claims with more to come.

Manila Thriller

(8) Manila Thriller 5/2, Off the mark at the second attempt in seller at Chester (7f) in June. Not in the same form when third in a Ffos Las novice 12 days later, but back on track after 7 weeks off when runner-up at Ripon (8f, good to firm) a week ago. Merits consideration.
7f selling winning in June; bettered that when second in 1m Ripon novice last Saturday.

Tap Dancer

12
12/1(+14%)
(9) Tap Dancer 12/1, Offered plenty to work on when fifth of 13 in novice at Salisbury (7f, good) on debut, rallying well inside final 1f, but went backwards from that effort at this course (7f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Longer trip should suit so she's not written off.
Promise when fifth on Salisbury debut but down the field over 7f here since.

15/2(-50%)
(6) Lady Kameko 15/2, Made plenty of appeal on paper but was held back by inexperience when sixth of 8 in novice at Kempton (8f) on debut 39 days ago. No surprise to see her fare better with that first run behind her.
Went off at 5-1 but could manage only a modest fifth on her 1m Kempton debut last month.

Lady Justice

(4) Lady Justice 13/2, Looked a good prospect when making a successful debut at Epsom (7f, good to soft) in July, keeping on well to lead close home. However, found it tougher under a penalty when sixth of 13 in novice at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) 25 days ago.
Won on 7f debut; bit better than result when sixth of 13 at Yarmouth since.

9/2(+50%)
(5) Caspi Star 9/2, Foaled January 31. €100,000 yearling, Camelot filly. Dam 9.7f/1¼m winner. Yard capable of readying a newcomer.
Makes paper appeal for leading stable; check the betting.

A watching brief is advised with this daughter of Too Darn Hot on debut.

13:30 Goodwood Stakes (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow

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

SERVING WITH STYLE, who holds an entry for the Rockfel, did her best work at the finish to make a winning debut at Carlisle last month and is a solid contender as she bids to supplement that success now upped to a mile. Manila Thriller enters the reckoning after a near-miss over this trip at Ripon last week, while Caspi Star cost 100,000 euros as a yearling so the daughter of Camelot warrants attention ahead of her introduction.

SERVING WITH STYLE justified favouritism when winning at Carlisle on debut, scoring decisively despite running green, so she is taken to score again with plenty of improvement to come. Manila Thriller is the pick on form.

Preference is for SERVING WITH STYLE, who shaped as if she'd relish a mile when coming from last to first on her 7f Carlisle debut.

2/1(+11%)
(2) Invictus Gold 2/1, Related to winners and left debut form well behind when opening his account despite a slow start at Southwell last month. Further improvement would give him an excellent chance.
Much improved from debut to score cosily at Southwell; must be considered.

2nd (1) Evening Saigon (11/8 -25%)
Evening Saigon

1.375
11/8(-25%)
(1) Evening Saigon 11/8, 2/1, won 6-runner minor event for Michael O'Callaghan at Tipperary (5f, heavy) on debut. Since changed hands (bought by Wathnan Racing) and shaped with encouragement at Musselburgh. Looks the one to beat.
Winner at Tipperary before close third on stable debut; up in trip here; sets the standard.

Miakoda

25
25/1(+0%)
(8) Miakoda 25/1, Cost six figures as a yearling but is yet to justify it in two runs. May be more of a nursery type now.

(3) Beltadaay 25/1, Foaled March 2. 16,000 gns yearling, Adaay colt. Brother to 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Lory Di Tony and half-brother to 6f-1m winner Huddle and useful winner up to 6.5f Purest Time. Dam unraced. Bred to have enough speed and can't be completely ruled out first time out.
16,000gns yearling; by Adaay; makes some appeal on pedigree and worth a market check.

13:40 Newmarket Stakes (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Having shed his maiden tag in comfortable fashion at the second time of asking over 6f at Southwell last month, INVICTUS GOLD gets the vote. Tom Clover's runner won more comfortably than the winning distance may suggest on that occasion and he can continue his upwards trajectory. Evening Saigon is feared most after being beaten just a length over 5f at Musselburgh earlier this month and this extra yardage could bring out some improvement, while Hajes is a newcomer to take seriously.

EVENING SAIGON looked potentially useful when winning on debut and didn't shape badly on his first outing for new connections last time, so he's worth another chance to double his tally. Invictus Gold is the danger on form and Hajes is the most appealing newcomer.

Twice-raced EVENING SAIGON sets quite a high standard and gets the verdict over cosy Southwell scorer Invictus Gold.

13:45 Curragh Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Aidan O'Brien has a particularly strong group of juveniles this season and perhaps OFFICER can provide the Ballydoyle team with another success. The Dubawi colt is out of the Group 1 winner Hydrangea which makes him a brother to Wingspan, who won the Listed Hurry Harriet Stakes recently at Gowran. The first-time blinkered Thrice is another that makes plenty of appeal on pedigree, while Tribal Nation is also by Wootton Bassett and the 155,000gns yearling is out of a Group 3-winning daughter of Sepoy. Snapper Rocks won a barrier trial at Naas last month and is another to note.

The market should reveal plenty with no form to go on but Aidan O'Brien's OFFICER makes plenty of appeal on paper and is taken to go in at the first time of asking with Ryan Moore in the saddle. Stablemate Thrice is also bred to be useful and could emerge as the chief threat, although Storm Piece, Tribal Nation, Broadstone and Desmond Castle are other potentially interesting debutants to consider in this intriguing maiden.

The three with Group-race engagements are TRIBAL NATION, Officer and Thrice. Snapper Rocks won a barrier trial.

13:50 York Group 3 (Class 1) 9f  Race Class Flow

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

SEE THE FIRE holds an outstanding chance of making the most of her allowances and a first Group success could be imminent for the daughter of Sea The Stars. Runner-up in a highly-competitive edition of the Nassau at Goodwood last time, the selection should have no issues with dropping back a furlong and she can go one better. Fellow three-year-old Alyanaabi also has a live chance on these terms, although Enfjaar adds significant firepower given he won the John Smith's Cup in fine style here last month.

A cracking Strensall Stakes in which Roger Varian's upwardly-mobile 4-y-o ENFJAAR is fancied to claim his biggest win yet and add to his impressive John Smith's Cup victory here. The classic generation are well represented and Nassau runner-up See The Fire could emerge as the main danger, although the reliable Task Force could also have a say along with Alyanaabi now he reverts in trip.

Enfjaar is much respected stepping up from handicaps but preference is for SEE THE FIRE, who went close in a Group 1 last time.

13:55 Killarney Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Jack Kennedy was booked when Zariygann made an impressive debut over hurdles at Roscommon recently and perhaps CHALLY CHUTE can repeat the trick as the same training partnership again links up with the champion jockey. The selection has won four times on the Flat, including over 2m1f here last summer, and arguably put up a career-best effort last time when just denied in the valuable Guinness Handicap at the Galway Festival. Riding arrangements suggest Galway disappointment Where's My Jet is preferred of Willie Mullins pair, while Hashtag Pretender has plenty of jumping experience but is proving a frustrating sort to follow. Spy, The Mediator and Banana Three are others to note.

An interesting maiden and one which can go to CHALLY CHUTE if transferring a large portion of his smart Flat ability over to hurdles at the first attempt. Hashtag Pretender resumed his progress after 11 months off when second at Roscommon 18 days ago and should go well again, with Spy and Mr Escobar others to consider.

Classy Flat performer Chally Chute is a danger to all on hurdling debut but preference, on the grounds of experience, is for SPY

14:05 Goodwood Group 3 (Class 1) 7f  Race Class Flow

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

Anshoda and Troia were precocious enough to make winning debuts and surely have bright futures ahead. However, none appeals more than Fillies' Mile entrant TABITI, who made all to score by a little over three lengths when introduced at Newmarket a fortnight ago. That was an impressive performance and this daughter of Kingman is very hard to ignore with the promise of plenty more to come.

TABITI also looked to have much better days ahead of her when a first-time scorer at Newmarket and heads the list, although Aidan O'Brien's Merrily could also have a say now her stamina is drawn out more. Royalty Bay and Biniorella Bay also need factoring in.

Royalty Bay is a solid candidate with her CV but TABITI was pretty faultless in dominating throughout at Newmarket.

14:10 Newmarket Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

ROSY AFFAIR is yet to be out of the first two in her six starts under Rules and she makes the most solid case in this field. George Boughey's charge was beaten just a neck by Star Of Lady M, who has subsequently given that form a significant boost when running away with a valuable handicap at York on Wednesday, over C&D last month and a 1lb rise may prove to be lenient. Just three quarters of a length separated Dashing Dick (second) and Equiano Springs (third) C&D earlier this month and they appear likely to follow the selection home.

ROSY AFFAIR and Dashing Dick both posted excellent efforts over C&D last time and may well fight out the finish, with the former marginally preferred on account of the fact that she has more potential. Equiano Springs should give another good account.

Dashing Dick and Equiano Springs are solid, but with youth on her side the progressive ROSY AFFAIR looks the one to beat.

14:15 Cartmel Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

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

BOWLING BUDDY finished 10 lengths clear of the third when hitting the crossbar on his first start under Rules at Uttoxeter and he would have learned a great deal from that experience. Olly Murphy's six-year-old may only need to reproduce that level of performance in order to go one better. Ravenscraig Castle is a fair performer on the Flat and finished second at Kelso when last seen in this sphere in May, so he has to be taken seriously. Torquay Road can pick up any pieces.

CAVERN CLUB was about as impressive as the circumstances allowed when making a successful hurdling debut over C&D last month and, with the prospect of significant improvement, he looks more than capable of defying a penalty. Bowling Buddy seems likely to build on his opening effort under Rules over this slightly longer trip and can provide the main threat.

Irish point winner BOWLING BUDDY chased home a very talented Flat performer on last month's hurdling debut and might be the answer.

14:20 Curragh Maiden 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

DESERT POWER has been placed on all three outings in sprint maidens this year and may get a winning turn. The Slade Power gelding beat all bar the speedy Sturlasson on debut at Navan and again finished well behind Mehmar (won again since) at the same venue last month with Yaxchilan three lengths back in fourth. Red Hugh O'Donnell had Pansy Poe and White Clover behind when runner-up to Emerald Harmony on his reappearance at Tipperary earlier this month and should be suited by the extra furlong. Pansy Poe has shaped well here on a couple of occasions and appeals most of the remainder.

This looks a decent opportunity for RED HUGH O'DONNELL to build on his promising Tipperary second a fortnight ago. Edward Lynam's Desert Power is second choice ahead of Joseph O'Brien's No Knee Never.

Sprint maidens for older horses are rarely straightforward. DESERT POWER has at least run well in two of his three starts.

(3) Going Remote 22/1, Second success when seeing off 8 rivals over 1½m at Ascot a fortnight ago but he was a well positioned the way that race unfolded and a 5 lb rise looks enough to stop him in this deeper race.

14:25 York Handicap (Class 2) 14f Race Class Flow

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

Dramatic Star and Too Bossy For Us are notable contenders for the shortlist. However, THE EQUATOR was a respectable fifth in the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot on his penultimate start and the son of Galileo didn't get the rub of the green at Navan most recently. He is a much more intriguing proposition with blinkers added this time and gets the vote as a result. Reaching High could prove to the main threat following his impressive win at Wolverhampton last time.

Andrew Balding has a strong recent record in this so it's worth giving another chance to WILD WAVES, who met trouble when one of the market leaders for a valuable handicap over this trip at Haydock last month. The William Haggas-trained Dramatic Star is another who can have a line put through his run in that same Haydock handicap and is second choice ahead of Reaching High and Tabletalk.

The most striking promise belongs to DRAMATIC STAR, who is preferred to Champagne Prince and Reaching High.

14:30 Killarney Handicap Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

GENERAL CLERMONT won this race last year and has bright prospects of following up as the in-form gelding reverts to hurdles. The selection has won two of his last three starts over fences and impressed when successful over this trip at Wexford earlier this month. Burru rates a threat having made the frame on his latest two starts both over this distance, while The Vegas Raider is another to consider after winning at Ballinrobe last time and the booking of Alex Harvey adds to confidence. C&D winner Vale Of Glory should benefit from his recent reappearance at Kilbeggan, while Craic Eile and Swelltime are also on the shortlist.

THE VEGAS RAIDER opened his account in determined fashion at Ballinrobe 12 days ago and is the percentage call to follow up back up in trip. General Clermont is still not one to trust fully but is doing nothing wrong at present and is potentially well treated back over hurdles on his recent chase form, while Duncarrig and Aussie Warrior are others with claims.

Last year's winner GENERAL CLERMONT returns to hurdles having won two of his last three starts over fences and gets the vote

14:40 Goodwood Group 2 (Class 1) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Having missed his juvenile season, low-mileage three-year-old LEAD ARTIST has made good progress this year and, having shown initiative to win the Group 3 Thoroughbred Stakes at the Goodwood Festival, the son of Dubawi is a strong contender to take this step up in class in his stride. Although last of five in the Sussex Stakes, Sonny Liston is a resolute character and is capable of bouncing back. Previous C&D winner Royal Dress also commands respect after her Group 3 win in Ireland.

LEAD ARTIST did well to win over C&D having set a strong gallop in the Thoroughbred Stakes here last time and he's open to further improvement, so he's preferred to Sonny Liston, who drops back in grade. Royal Dress can't be ruled out on the back of an impressive display in Ireland.

This is the ideal next step for the improving LEAD ARTIST, who gets the vote ahead of Sonny Liston.

14:45 Newmarket Handicap (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow

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

APOTHEOSIS arrives here seeking a hat-trick following a brace in novice company at Haydock and most recently at Lingfield. The son of Night Of Thunder makes his handicap mark and an opening mark of 90 appears to be exploitable. The main danger is likely to come in the form of Run Boy Run, who scored in game fashion over C&D last time, but the 2lb rise may prove difficult to defy, while Granger Bay completes the shortlist.

RUN BOY RUN has taken his form up a notch since the cheekpieces have been added, showing a good attitude when doubling his tally at this C&D last time, so he is taken to follow up in his current form. Apotheosis arrives bidding for a hat-trick and isn't taken lightly on his handicap debut, with American Bay completing the shortlist.

Run Boy Run can go well again but APOTHEOSIS is improving with each run and can complete his hat-trick now handicapping.

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

ASHINGTON had Well Educated (second), Calevade (third) and Vocal Duke (sixth) behind when he was a three-length victor over C&D on his penultimate start before only managing to finish fifth on the level at Carlisle last time. Mark Walford's nine-year-old will appreciate the return to this sphere and looks the one to beat. Shengai Enki failed to complete the hat-trick on his latest outing and is an interesting contender back in the handicap ranks. Young Merlin is another to note.

YOUNG MERLIN racked up a hat-trick over hurdles last summer and fit from the Flat, he looks to have a workable mark to exploit back in this sphere. Ashington had a few of these behind when winning over C&D last month and he's a player, along with Allbetsoff.

Last year's winner YOUNG MERLIN has run some sound races on the Flat this summer and is taken to beat Allbetsoff and Ashington.

14:55 Curragh Handicap 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Joseph O'Brien's SHODA should have a future in handicaps. She put in a promising debut effort when third in a maiden at Killarney and built on that when scoring at the Galway Festival. The way she forged on well to score by almost four lengths bodes well for her first handicap assignment. Her stablemate Perfect Portrait could enjoy this drop in class. She didn't show in a Group 3 at Fairyhouse last month, but has been given a break since. Aird is nicely weighted with Robyn Donaghue-Leahy taking 7lb off her back, while O'Brien's Belhaven and recent Dundalk winner Ameerat Jumaira are others to note.

Lightly-raced 3-y-o SHODA was a convincing winner of a maiden at Galway and can make light of an opening handicap mark in the low 80s with further improvement likely. Bay of Sanibel is second choice ahead of recent Naas scorer Apercu.

Joseph O'Brien runs three and it could pay to side with SHODA (nap), a Galway maiden winner who is the least exposed runner.

15:00 York Group 2 (Class 1) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Lockinge winner AUDIENCE was too good for Art Power (runner-up) and Kinross (third) when triumphant in the Lennox at Goodwood last month and, with this course likely to play to his strengths, the son of Iffraaj can further enhance his portfolio of Group-race wins. The only three-year-old in the field, Lake Forest, who was runner-up in the Commonwealth Cup, is the young pretender on the scene and might provide the sternest test for the selection with the longer trip a possible source of improvement.

AUDIENCE was well placed in a modestly-run Lennox Stakes at Goodwood last month, but he still put the race to bed in a matter of strides and goes unpenalised for that success, so is taken to uphold the form with Kinross, who bids to win the City of York for a third year running. 3-y-o Lake Forest is also a very interesting contender with the step up in trip promising to suit.

Lockinge winner AUDIENCE bolted up in the Lennox Stakes at Glorious Goodwood last time and his excellent season can continue.

15:05 Killarney Handicap Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ONEFORTHEDITCH easily won a point-to-point this spring and has progressed since under Rules winning handicap hurdles at Kilbeggan and Cork. A combined rise of 12lb for those victories may not be enough to prevent a hat-trick and Conor Stone-Walsh is a positive booking. Boskill Borden won over two miles at Tramore last summer and indicated another success could be on the cards when upped in trip to be placed behind the progressive Kilashee at Ballinrobe last month. A Nod To Getaway filled the runner-up spot over fences here on Thursday, while Springboard and Smallcraftwarning are others to consider.

ONEFORTHEDITCH is well and truly going the right way now and gets the nod to complete the hat-trick with further progress on the cards. Boskill Borden and Springboard head the opposition.

The hat-trick seeking ONEFORTHEDITCH is upped in grade here but looks the type to make the transition

15:15 Goodwood Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

CITY OF DELIGHT continues to go from strength to strength and a 9lb rise for his most recent success at Newmarket may not be enough to prevent him from landing the four-timer. David Menusier's charge gets the vote ahead of promising Wolverhampton third Break The Bank and Trouville, who makes his handicap debut after getting off the mark in determined fashion at Chepstow in May. Mustazeed and Zealot are likely to be thereabouts as well.

CITY OF DELIGHT is a 3-y-o on the roll and even a 9 lb rise may not be enough to bring his winning run to an end. Fellow 3-y-o Trouville makes obvious appeal as an unexposed sort who should have more to come in handicaps, while Tahitian Prince caught the eye here last time and is well handicapped if he can build on that under Hollie Doyle.

Trouville looks the type to progress in handicaps but a chance is taken that CITY OF DELIGHT can continue his fine run over 1m2f.

15:20 Newmarket Stakes (Class 2) 6f  Race Class Flow

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

BRIAN struggled in a Listed event at Ascot last time but was third in the Chesham earlier in the season and his 6f novice success in between suggests that this drop in trip should not be a problem. With that in mind, he just gets the vote over Li Ban, who put in a career best when third in a similar event to this at Naas last time. The rest all have some questions to answer but Force And Valour and Lesley's Boy are the pick of them.

LI BAN confirmed his much-improved win at Thirsk when third of 21 in a valuable sales race at Naas and looks the one to beat on these terms. Brian rates a clear next best back down in class, with Force And Valour and Lesley's Boy best of the others.

The likeable Brian has plenty going for him but slight preference is for LI BAN, third in a similar event in Ireland last time.

City Derby

4
4/1(-14%)
(8) City Derby 4/1, Underwent a wind op during the spring and has evidently benefited from it, allaying any stamina concerns as he completed a course hat-trick over C&D 33 days ago. Assessor applies further pressure but another holding claims in present groove. Tongue strap back on.
Completed hat-trick with C&D win last month; just out of weights in stronger race today.

17/2(-183%)
(1) Tommie Beau 17/2, Multiple winner over fences last term who capitalised on drop in grade over fences here in May and made light of quick turnaround from lower mark over hurdles over C&D later that month. Up 5 lb but claims in hat-trick bid after 3 months off.
Prolific chaser who collected a good prize over C&D when back hurdling in June; respected.

Hurricane Ali

Placed twice over 2m6f here for new stable this season; stamina might be stretched today.

11/4(+73%)
(5) Our Sam 11/4, Bagged a hat-trick of victories last summer, including this corresponding race from 3 lb lower. Hasn't been disgraced in couple of starts earlier this season and he's worth bearing in mind stepping back up to this trip.
Won this race off 3lb lower on soft ground last year; no surprise if he defends his crown.

Aramax

(3) Aramax 12/1, Successful twice (including over C&D) before losing his way. Low-key effort at Uttoxeter in May but some promise to glean from his effort when seventh behind Tommie Beau returned to this C&D 89 days ago. Handicapper has afforded him a chance.
C&D winner last season; not at best this year but latest run was quite encouraging.

Saint Bibiana

4.5
9/2(-13%)
(7) Saint Bibiana 9/2, Another who has improved markedly since stepping up in trip, completing quick-fire hat-trick over C&D in June. Confirmed she remains one to be interested in with a solid second at Newton Abbot (26.5f) last month and she's very much of interest again.
Bang-in-form mare who has won three times (one over C&D) this season; up in grade today.

Posted another career best at Uttoxeter last month and is now 6-17 over hurdles.

(6) Eyeofthescorpion 40/1, Capable if not the most willing under pressure over hurdles for previous connections. Off 19 months, was beginning to struggle when unseating at the tenth on stable debut over fences at Perth 7 days ago. This should reveal more but percentage call to look elsewhere.
Back hurdling after three non-completions over fences; others have much less to prove.

15:25 Cartmel Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 25f Race Class Flow

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

TOMMIE BEAU arrives in search of a hat-trick having scored over C&D on his latest outing and is only 5lb higher for that success. Seamus Mullins' nine-year-old looks to have lots in his favour and may go in again. Secret Trix justified his place in the market with no real trouble after a wind operation at Uttoxeter last month and should remain competitive, while the in-form Saint Bibiana is another to take seriously.

Plenty of in-form sorts in opposition with SAINT BIBIANA given the narrow vote to come out on top. Having completed a quick-fire hat-trick over C&D in June, she again ran well when runner-up at Newton Abbot 5 weeks ago and a 3 lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold showing. Secret Trix and City Derby are others to consider, along with last year's winner Our Sam, who will appreciate the return to this longer trip.

He's much better known as a chaser but TOMMIE BEAU (nap) was an excellent C&D winner when back over hurdles in May and gets the vote.

Looked very smart when winning the Railway Stakes, step up to 7f looks sure to suit.

15:30 Curragh Group 2 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Aidan O'Brien has mentioned 7f for HENRI MATISSE on both occasions that he won over 6f at this track and the Group 2 Railway Stakes winner is taken to bring up his hat-trick. This is due to be the slowest ground he will encounter, but the progeny of Wootton Bassett are showing a real aptitude for soft ground. The 107-rated Hotazhell provides stiff opposition as he took a Group 3 over an extended 7f on his latest outing at Leopardstown. Prior to that, he shed his maiden status over C&D. O'Brien's Rock Of Cashel and Mehmas colt Scorthy Champ are winners that definitely add further spice to the mix.

A quartet to view positively with HENRI MATISSE just about the percentage call even under a penalty given he already has winning form at this level to his name gained in a 6f contest at this track. Hotazhell is second choice on form.

Railway Stakes winner HENRI MATISSE looks tailormade for 7f and can give Aidan O'Brien a record 17th win in this race

(8) Magical Zoe 11/2, Smart hurdler who landed the odds on her second outing in this sphere in 8-runner maiden at Down Royal (12.8f, good) in June. Picked up some valuable black type when third to Grateful in Stanerra Stakes at Fairyhouse (14f, good) last month and this Irish raider warrants considerable respect.
Switch to Flat this term; ran on nicely when a close third in Group 3 at Fairyhouse (1m6f).

Ran a cracker when runner-up in Summer Handicap at Market Rasen 5 weeks ago and with this sure to be strongly-run, he's worth a second look at forecast big price back on the level.
Three 1m4f wins here; placed once at 1m6f; on a good mark and not entirely dismissed.

(21) Oneforthegutter 25/1, Dual winner in 2023 and he's been operating at the top of his game of late, close-up third of 9 in handicap at Yarmouth (14.1f) last month. Possibly found the race coming too soon having his third start in as many weeks at Wolverhampton recently so others preferred.
Placed twice last month over 1m6f, 2nd to Fairbanks at Newmarket, but this looks too hot.

Shaped well in John Smith's Cup here 6 weeks ago (had to weave way through) so rates a major player if getting the trip.
This new trip is bit of a guess but his 1m4f second at Royal Ascot gives plenty of hope.

Very interesting handicap debutant for trainer who won this last year.
Flat winner in Poland and Germany; 2nd in maiden hurdle for his hugely respected new yard.

Ran at least as well in defeat despite not being seen to best effect when third at Ripon 5 weeks ago and he remains of interest.
Not 100% sure to be as good at 1m6f but leaves strong impression he still has more to give.

Low-mileage and could still have a bigger performance in him.

Found another chunk of improvement when bolting up here 3 weeks later but unable to reproduce that form upped to listed level at Newmarket 8 weeks ago.
Made all at Epsom (1m2f) and York (1m4f) but a heavy defeat in Listed race eight weeks ago.

Didn't get the best of runs but made no impression once in clear bidding for back-to-back win in stayers handicap on Wednesday. Tongue tie on.

Hooded throughout but not today; reliable sort over 1m4f/1m6f but perhaps a bit exposed.

Burdett Road

9/1(+10%)

Shaped well on his return to the Flat at Ascot last month and this extra distance looks sure to suit.
Settling him looks the issue but late headway over 1m4f on return to Flat was encouraging.

This just his second start at the trip and further progress not ruled out.
Four good places before winning a lesser 1m4f race here; sole attempt at 1m6f was in 2021.

Edged out only by an improving 3-y-o at Goodwood last time and limit not yet reached.
Has progressed well this term, upped to 1m6f on last two outings for a win and close 2nd.

Excuses on his next couple of starts but proved better than ever having his first crack at 2m when second in handicap at Newbury 5 weeks ago. Headgear back on.
Gave a much more positive performance again when running-on 2nd at Newbury (2m) last time.

Back to his best when third in C&D Group 3 six weeks ago but has career-high mark.

Queenstown

Commands respect on return/handicap debut.
Twice second to star stayer Kyprios over 1m6f this spring; 4yo who's had only six races.

Finished close 7th in this last year from same mark and has had a wind op.
3l seventh in 2023 Ebor off this mark; wind op since poor show in Northumberland Plate.

Yard (1 of 2 runners) already tasted success here this week and not ruled out stepping back up in trip.
Much more to prove at 1m6f but he's looked good for his three wins this term over 1m4f.

15:35 York Handicap (Class 2) 14f  Race Class Flow

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

Magical Zoe was far from disgraced when making the frame in Group 3 company at Fairyhouse last month and now makes her handicap debut on the Flat, so she warrants respect for the Henry De Bromhead team. However, RELENTLESS VOYAGER looks the way to go. The son of Ulysses was only a length behind the subsequent Geoffrey Freer winner Al Aasy in a Group 3 at Goodwood last time and beat Ziggy (second) by three lengths when last seen in the handicap ranks at Epsom in June. Queenstown and Epic Poet are others to consider.

A typically-competitive renewal of the most valuable Flat handicap in Europe and its EPIC POET who shades the vote having been shaping up well for David O'Meara this season. Queenstown, who got within a length of Kyprios in the Saval Beg at Leopardstown when last seen in May, heads up the dangers making his handicap debut, while Magical Zoe, Sea King and Hipop de Loire (who represents last year's winning trainer) are just a handful of others worth considering, too.

The vote goes to SEA KING (nap), with Iron Lion feared most ahead of Epic Poet, Naqeeb and Fairbanks.

15:40 Killarney Handicap Hurdle 22f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

CHAMPELLA put in an excellent performance to beat a big field in a mares' handicap hurdle over the minimum trip at the Galway Festival. She has winning form over an extended 2m4f, so should cope with this trip. Tom Harney is back on board and his 7lb claim offsets the bulk of the 9lb rise she got for winning in Ballybrit. Littlebiggie has been very consistent throughout 2024 and her victory came over an almost identical trip at this track in May. The returning Real Steel and Gold Speed both have the ability to get involved if fully wound up for action, while Sligo winner Early Arrival is another to note.

FUTURUM REGEM remains potentially on a good mark over hurdles and his recent efforts on the Flat suggests he's still in form. Dorans Law arrives on the back of a career-best win at Ballinrobe and is next best ahead of Littlebiggie.

LITTLEBIGGIE continues to improve and is taken to record a second C&D success of the season

(7) Goodwood Odyssey 15/8, Took his career record to 2-3 when producing a useful performance in 1¼m Sandown handicap in April. Found out in the London Gold Cup at Newbury next time but resumed his progression when 1¼ lengths third of 11 at Newmarket (1½m) 6 weeks ago. Shortlisted in first-time blinkers.
Hung left when third at Newmarket latest but it's good form; big player if blinkers work.

(5) Our Golden One 7/2, Maiden winner at 2 yrs who took her form up a notch to make a winning return/handicap debut at Doncaster (10.2f) in April. Faster ground possibly not ideal next time but quickly back on the up when third in French listed contest (12f) a couple of months ago. Some rain would enhance her chance.
Best form on soft, including latest French Listed third, but showed promise on good at 2.

Blinkers back on and every chance he will be in the mix if on a going day (often looks less than straightforward).

In good form on AW earlier in year but not so good on turf since.

15:50 Goodwood Handicap (Class 2) 12f  Race Class Flow

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

This can go the way of QUIETNESS, who has been a star for the Marcus Tregoning stable this season. Stepping up to this distance at Thirsk recently brought about even more improvement and the four-year-old has gone up 23lb in the handicap since the start of the campaign. She is preferred to Listed third Our Golden One and Goodwood Odyssey, who bounced back to form with a strong placed effort at Newmarket last month.

Preference is for GOODWOOD ODYSSEY, who ran well upped to this trip when third at Newmarket 6 weeks ago and first-time blinkers could well eke out that bit extra for David Menuisier's colt. Second choice is Quietness, who is an uncomplicated type who continues to go from strength-to-strength, while Miller Spirit and Our Golden One can fight out third spot.

3yo colts City Burglar and GOODWOOD ODYSSEY could be the pair to focus on, with the latter preferred.

Very promising as 2yo; unplaced in three runs since and now has something to prove.

15:55 Newmarket Listed (Class 1) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Twilight Calls arguably sets the standard on recent form following some encouraging efforts in defeat at Group level in recent months. That said, he has not won in over two years and a chance can be taken on WOODHAY WONDER, who has an outstanding record at both Newmarket tracks. Her latest third in a competitive handicap at Ascot was not far off a career best and she could make her mark at this level. Vadream has to be of interest now eased in grade, while similar comments apply to Orne.

Little between a few of these on form but Tom Ward's likeable C&D scorer WOODHAY WONDER still looks to have more to offer so edges the vote. Quinault could emerge as the main danger on the back of his recent Chester listed success, although both Vadream and Rage of Bamby have the form to play a big part if at their best. C&D winner Funny Story completes the shortlist.

An open-looking Listed event can go to the admirable WOODHAY WONDER who was denied at Ascot last month and receives weight all round.

16:00 Cartmel Handicap Chase (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

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

CUZCO DU MATHAN showed a likeable attitude when scoring by a yawning margin over this track and trip last month and, upped 5lb, should be tough to stop provided he arrives in a similar vein of form. Restandbethankful appears to be the main danger to the selection on the back of a couple of excellent runner-up efforts over hurdles recently, while the formerly smart Ciel De Neige's mark continues to fall and he merits a second look in a bid to arrest the slide.

RESTANDBETHANKFUL has been shaping up well over hurdles here in recent months and could prove the answer if he's derived any benefit from a recent wind operation. Last month's C&D winner Cuzco du Mathan may give him most to do.

Preference is for dual C&D winner LERMOOS LEGEND, who has got his career back on track in recent months.

16:05 Curragh Group 2 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

It will be a huge shock if this doesn't go to Ballydoyle and BEDTIME STORY, who is unbeaten in three starts. The daughter of Frankel was a hugely impressive winner of the Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot and readily defeated stablemate Exactly in a Group 3 at Leopardstown last month. She can take the next step up the Pattern ladder in her stride. The other O'Brien runner is Bubbling, who was a taking winner of a Galway maiden and holds Group 1 entries in the autumn.

Aidan O'Brien holds all the aces here and his most exciting Frankel filly BEDTIME STORY gets a confident vote to go 4-4. Stablemates Bubbling and Senna's Girl both look to have better days ahead of them too and can chase home the selection in that order.

This should be straightforward for the unbeaten Chesham Stakes winner BEDTIME STORY who beat Exactly comfortably at Leopardstown.

16:10 York Handicap (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

DARE TO HOPE and Elmonjed both struck at this level on their latest outings, but the slight preference is for the former after his triumph in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon. Richard Fahey's four-year-old was possibly worth more than the winning margin suggests on that occasion and a 6lb rise may underestimate his superiority. As for the latter, he showed improvement in first-time blinkers to gain his first success of the year at Windsor and it would be no surprise to see him feature off only 2lb higher. Apollo One beat Billyjoh (third) when hitting the crossbar in the Stewards' Cup and can confirm that form.

A cracking sprint handicap with BILLYJOH just about the most persuasive option, He's stood up really well to an intensive campaign and a brace of placed efforts at Goodwood in recent weeks confirm his current mark is within range. Elmonjed is an improving 3-y-o for powerful connections so he commands serious respect, as does Summerghand, who chases a hat-trick in this race.

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and this could be the day for APOLLO ONE to land his big one. Elmonjed is next best.

16:15 Killarney Maiden Chase 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

JESSE EVANS has been a terrific money-spinner for Noel Meade and gets the opportunity to add to those gains on his first start over fences. This looks a good spot for his chasing debut as he has won twice before in Killarney. She's A Fine Wine is another set for her first crack at the bigger obstacles. She arrives on the back of a decent fourth place in a competitive handicap hurdle at Galway and won at Ballinrobe on her penultimate start. There is still time for San Salvador to put it all together over fences, while Palace Rock is one to monitor in the market.

Smart hurdler JESSE EVANS is the one to beat if taking to this sphere at the first attempt with most of his rivals arriving with something to prove. She's A Fine Wine was at least progressive over hurdles so is next best ahead of Ballybawn Belter.

It all depends on how some of these take to fences. JESSE EVANS has won over hurdles and on the Flat here and gets the vote

16:25 Goodwood Handicap (Class 4) 14f  Race Class Flow

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

SUNBELT ran well for a long way at Doncaster in June on her first start since making a winning debut way back in 2022. The Zoffany filly is open to plenty of improvement making her handicap debut and looks one to keep on the right side of over this extra distance. Goblet Of Fire will also appreciate the longer trip having just missed out on a hat-trick at Newbury, while Crescent Lake has a shout on his third at Sandown.

Having lost her way for her previous stable, KITTY FOYLE has got right back on track of late, chasing home a pair of interesting 3-y-os on her latest outing at Newbury 4 weeks ago. With her rider taking off a handy 5 lb, she's given the narrow vote to confirm the promise of that run. Goblet of Fire is an obvious threat, along with Crescent Lake. Enochdhu is another worth considering under Hollie Doyle.

The suggestion is SHARP DISTINCTION, who has slipped to an attractive mark. Hurtle Wallop is second choice.

16:30 Newmarket Handicap (Class 3) 14f Race Class Flow

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

In an open event marginal preference is for the unexposed ASSAIL following his impressive success over 1m4f at Ascot last month. A 7lb rise will obviously demand more from the four-year-old but he could have improvement to come on just his sixth start. Mr Freedom was far from disgraced off this mark in a strong event at Goodwood last time and he has to be of some interest, while similar comments apply to Subsequent.

ASSAIL can defy the handicapper with the step up in trip likely to suit. Andrew Balding 3-y-o Subsequent is another who should have more to offer as his stamina is drawn out and is second choice ahead of the likeable Mr Freedom.

The step up to 1m6f looks likely to suit ASSAIL, Subsequent and Calvert in an interesting clash, preferred in that order.

16:35 Cartmel Handicap Chase (Class 5) 21f Race Class Flow

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

The King Of May (first) got the better of DR SANDERSON (second) when the pair met over C&D last month, but the latter was unlucky not to finish closer to the winner having been badly hampered when looking like he was going to mount a serious challenge in the home straight. To that end, Ben Haslam's charge, who is 4lb better off at the weights this time around, looks the one to side with. Kicksaftersix is capable of playing a hand in a race of this nature.

The in-form DR SANDERSON might well have won but for being badly hampered when second to The King of May over C&D last month and can make amends off the same mark. Kicksaftersix is closely matched with the selection on their running here 5 weeks ago and is next best.

Class-dropper JELSKI has not been at his best this season but won't mind what the weather does and may exploit a tempting mark.

16:40 Curragh Maiden 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SACRED OATH might be able to get off the mark at the third attempt. The daughter of Lope De Vega was a promising third over C&D on debut and, having travelled strongly, it looked like 1m4f was too far when she filled the same position at Galway. Coming back in trip looks a wise move. Raydamann has been caught close home in his last two starts having been ridden prominently and is likely to contend again, while Ard Na Mara kept on steadily into fourth at Gowran Park and is open to improvement. Fighter, well held in third on his seasonal return, is blinkered as is stablemate Revelry, a well-bred newcomer who cost plenty as a yearling.

RAYDAMANN has displayed race-by-race progress in a handful of starts to date, worn down close home at Leopardstown (9f) 16 days ago. He gets the nod to go one place better, with Sacred Oath Ard Na Mara and Fighter others to consider. Bard of Avon is another likely improver now embarking on his 3-y-o campaign.

The suggestion is SACRED OATH who made a nice debut here before 1m4f on soft ground ultimately found her out at Galway.

(11) Tropical Storm 5/2, Stepped up on debut when second at Newmarket and further progress when runner-up in Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot (5f, firm, 11/1). Went off too hard in Richmond Stakes at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) since and worth another chance back down in class/trip.

16:45 York Listed (Class 1) 5f Race Class Flow

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

TROPICAL STORM may remain a maiden but his runner-up effort in the Norfolk on his penultimate outing appeals as the strongest form on offer. Dropping back in trip looks like a good move, having disappointed in the Richmond at Goodwood, and he tops the shortlist. Not beaten far in the Molecomb, Mr Lightside continues to progress and is a key player, along with Vingegaard and Make Haste. Turned out again quickly after breaking his maiden comfortably at Cork last week, Magnum Force must also enter calculations.

MR LIGHTSIDE continues to improve in leaps and bounds and could prove hard to peg back here given the way he went through the race when third in the Molecomb at Goodwood. Tropical Storm did too much too soon in the Richmond and is expected to bounce back, while Vingegaard is another who wasn't seen to best effect at Glorious Goodwood.

Tropical Storm and Mr Lightside bring the best form but promising Irish colt MAGNUM FORCE is a very interesting alternative.

16:50 Killarney Maiden Chase 23f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SOLITARY MAN loves this track and has won his last three races here. On his last outing at this venue, he took the honours by a wide margin and is clearly a chaser to keep on the right side of. Duffle Coat ran a stormer when just beaten half a length into second in the Galway Plate which shows what he is capable of over fences. Staying trips are very much up his street. Easy Fella has form that ties in with Solitary Man, while Horantzau D'airy is up in trip and cannot be ruled out. Pink In The Park enjoyed her first outing over fences when taking a beginners' chase at Galway and may have more to offer.

EASY FELLA's latest effort was a touch underwhelming but the impression he made on debut sticks in the mind and there's likely a good deal more to come, so he gets the nod over Horantzau D'Airy and Solitary Man in what strikes as a well-above-average novice.

A line-up worthy of a Graded contest. The fine course record of SOLITARY MAN earns him the vote and he will enjoy going back up in trip

16:55 Goodwood Handicap (Class 3) 5f Race Class Flow

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

It could pay to stick with TOCA MADERA given a 3lb rise for winning cosily at Windsor recently is negated by his jockey's claim. Rocking Ends won at Newmarket before placing in a more competitive sprint here last month and is another to consider, while Existent has a shout off his current handicap mark based on last month's fourth at Ascot. Enchanting could also go well.

The 3-y-o ENCHANTING is compiling a good record over this C&D and not yet fully exposed for her top stable, she could be the answer. Navello has been running at a slightly better level than this so he demands consideration, along with Toca Madera.

The in-form pair Rocking Ends and TOCA MADERA (nap) have both run well over C&D in recent times and they can dominate this field.

16:58 Redcar Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

A chance can be taken on ORDER OF MALTA, who was running on well late over an extended 1m2f at Chester earlier this month. Hugo Palmer's charge has better draw here and a 2lb drop in the ratings looks exploitable after that near two-length defeat. Bearaway looks the biggest danger after being narrowly beaten at Ayr last time and a 1lb rise doesn't appear out of his reach, while Jewel Maker heads the remainder.

A wide-open apprentice handicap and a chance is taken on top weight BEARWITH, who shaped as if back in form in a race not run to suit at Carlisle earlier in the month. Last year's winner Jewel Maker has been shaping up well of late and heads up the opposition, along with Shifter, who was left poorly placed on his most recent outing.

The vote goes to last year's winner JEWEL MAKER, who looked unlucky when a close fourth in a Racing League event last week.

17:02 Newmarket Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Spring Bloom has to be noted seeking a hat-trick but the return to 5f and 3lb rise for the latest of his wins are both slight concerns. As a result, the vote goes to BRUMMELL following his narrow defeat off this mark at Newcastle when last seen in June. Coup De Force often goes well and edges out Good Earth to be best of the remainder.

GOOD EARTH has been shaping up well of late and gets the nod to take advantage of his much-reduced mark. Hat-trick seeker Spring Bloom is still well treated on the pick of last season's form and has to be feared, with 3-y-o Brummell also worthy of respect.

Spring Bloom is respected in his bid for a hat-trick but he may not be so well handicapped as C&D winner GOOD EARTH (nap).

17:05 Cartmel Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow

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

LIGHTENING COMPANY pulled clear with the eventual runner-up when landing a breakthrough victory over hurdles over C&D last month, and the suspicion is that a 5lb rise may not be enough to anchor him here. Heart Above finished third over 2m at Hexham on his penultimate start and must be of interest off a 1lb lower mark, with Iolani catching the eye off just 2lb higher than his last winning mark.

A number of these arrive with a question mark against them so this looks a good opportunity for LIGHTENING COMPANY to make light of a 5 lb rise and follow up his C&D success last month. Fellow C&D scorer Iolani arrives in good nick and is feared most with last year's victor Mr Rumbalicious and the handily-weighted Shantou Lucky also in the picture if back on song.

A low-grade handicap hurdle can go to IOLANI, who won a C&D selling handicap in May and was a fair fourth last time.

17:10 Curragh Handicap 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

TACHOS hasn't been out of the first three home in her four starts this year and has decent claims in an open contest. Dermot Weld's filly got the better of Puturhandstogether at Gowran Park in June and is better off at the weights. The daughter of Gleneagles did little wrong when finding one too good over this trip at Naas earlier in the month. Like the selection, Puturhandstogether has done well since entering handicap company and defeated some in-form rivals over C&D last month. He is open to more improvement and Down Royal winner Masoun is another three-year-old with scope for further progress.

ROTOLO took a big step back in the right direction when finding only a progressive rival (whom she conceded first run to) too strong at Leopardstown 3 weeks ago and that suggests she's ready to strike. Puturhandstogether and Masoun are a couple of potential threats.

It may be worth taking a chance with recent Leopardstown runner-up ROTOLO despite a doubt raised by her ungainly head carriage

17:15 Windsor Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

INDIAN CREAK was beaten just a length in a hot handicap over course and distance on his latest start. Jack Channon's sprinter looks set to take advantage of a potentially lenient mark having won off 8lb higher this time last year. Heartwarmer won here with plenty left in the tank and is not easily dismissed raised 6lb, while Nottingham third Pen Portrait is another three-year-old open to further improvement.

A trappy sprint in which the suggestion is INDIAN CREAK, who turned in his best effort of the season when fourth over C&D 12 days ago and Jack Channon's 7-y-o looks up to taking advantage of his reduced mark back down in class. Heartwarmer doubled his tally over this C&D 3 weeks ago so he heads up the dangers, with Many A Star and Tourist rounding off the shortlist.

The 7yos MANY A STAR, Indian Creak and Lequinto all like it here and can prove too strong for their younger rivals.

17:20 York Handicap (Class 2) 10f Race Class Flow

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

RATHGAR has shown his versatility of late with a taking success at Yarmouth on his penultimate start. The son of Ulysses has since run with plenty of credit at Chepstow, and this test should suit him as he looks to see off the Goodwood winner Paradias, and Ron O, who has not been outside the first three in his last three starts here. Dual Identity (fifth) and Bystander (sixth) both got going too late at Goodwood last time out, and they can have a say at a track that is likely to suit better.

Claims can be made for plenty and with that in mind it could be worth chancing OVIEDO. Boasting some very strong form as a 3-y-o, he's been given a break following a pair of lesser displays earlier this term and, eased a little in the weights, he could well bounce back with his yard enjoying a fine season. Goodwood scorer Paradias, Bystander and Ron O head up the dangers. Have Secret is another to bear in with first-time cheekpieces now reached for.

Things have not quite panned out for DUAL IDENTITY the last twice but he's shaped as though he's in very good form and earns the vote.

17:25 Killarney Handicap Chase 21f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

THE DASHER CONWAY hasn't been out of the first three since winning over this trip at Kilbeggan in May and handled testing conditions when second to a classy type at Galway. Gillian Callaghan's stable star is probably high enough in the ratings at this stage but is likely to give another good account. Railway Hurricane and Grange Walk were a long way behind the selection last time but the former will be suited by a return to this longer trip, while the latter is entitled to improve for what was his first outing in nearly seven months. Gaelic Arc had the selection well back in third when winning easily here in July but is up in trip on softer ground.

EL CHAMPO was third to The Dasher Conway when last seen three months ago but arrives on better terms with that rival and with cheekpieces refitted, so he's the most appealing. Gaelic Art scored with authority last time and deserves respect despite having a double-figure rise to contend with.

Wide open and worth taking a chance on the unexposed EL CHAMPO on returning from a break, especially if the ground softens

17:30 Redcar Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

JUNGLE DRUMS ran well when second in Listed company over 6f at Newbury last time and dropped back into these calmer waters, he should take all the beating. Karl Burke does well with his two-years-olds and this appears to be an ideal stepping stone before some bigger targets later on in the campaign. Debutant Sweet Cicely is fancied to pose the biggest threat to the selection, while Mister Sky Blue should benefit for this extra yardage.

JUNGLE DRUMS sets a clear standard having finished second in a listed race at Newbury and can resume winning ways under a penalty. Mister Sky Blue made good late inroads at Beverley on debut and can follow the selection home.

Back down in class, JUNGLE DRUMS sets a clear form standard. Interesting newcomer On Key is feared most.

17:35 Cartmel Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow

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

It is hard to look past THE NAVIGATOR, who scored with the minimum of fuss over C&D when last seen over hurdles and may prove a tough nut to crack, despite a 5lb rise. For Three, who finished third behind the selection here last time out, is entitled to be in the mix once again, while the consistent Huit Reflets has to enter the reckoning following his recent second at Uttoxeter.

THE NAVIGATOR capitalised on a much-reduced mark with plenty in hand over C&D on his latest hurdling outing and he's subsequently showed his wellbeing on the Flat, so he's preferred to Huit Reflets, who has been in good order for a while. For Three, who was third to the selection last time, is another one to consider.

After winning over C&D on his latest hurdles start, THE NAVIGATOR is taken to go in again and beat the in-form Huit Reflets.

17:40 Curragh Handicap 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Handicap debutant GOLDRUSH KID met with a setback after showing promise on debut at this venue last year. He returned at the back-end to finish runner-up at Navan and again shaped well at Sligo in May. He might prefer an extra furlong, but his trainer has always held him in high regard and the son of Unfortunately could be on a nice mark. Never Shout Never has dropped to a competitive mark and had plenty of rivals behind when fourth over 6f here last weekend. New headgear is fitted and he has won over this trip. A dual course winner over further, Merisi Diamond will be suited by any easing of the ground.

This looks wide open and it could pay to take a chance on OSTRAKA. She wasn't ideally placed when midfield in a big-field handicap here 7 days ago and, with blinkers back on, she could well be seen in a better light from a further reduced mark. Mount Ruapehu is proving inconsistent but capable of playing a part on the pick of his form. Never Shout Never and James Henry are others to note.

A chance is taken on NEVER SHOUT NEVER who didn't quite last home over 6f here last week after racing freely in new blinkers.

17:45 Windsor Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

MIDNIGHT THUNDER blew the start at Pontefract on his introduction and did well to finish second given the circumstances. Saeed bin Suroor's Kodiac colt will likely launch a serious challenge with that experience under his belt. Milford was outclassed in the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot but looks a threat back at this level, while improvement is expected from Elyam now he's fitted with a hood.

MIDNIGHT THUNDER made a very promising start amidst greenness when runner-up in a Pontefract maiden earlier this month and with improvement on the cards, Saeed bin Suroor's colt is fancied to go a place better at the expense of Milford, who made a winning debut at Hamilton back in May and wasn't disgraced pitched into Group 2 company at the Royal Meeting next time. Tawasol and Charmoula both look interesting newcomers on paper so complete the shortlist.

Milford and Elyam are respected but MIDNIGHT THUNDER would have won at Pontefract had he got away on terms.

17:55 Killarney NH Flat Race 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

PURE LOGIC has been runner-up in all three starts and looks the one to beat. Shark Hanlon's filly went close at Tipperary two runs back and had the winner of that race behind her in fifth when running with plenty of credit in a winners' contest at Galway. She handled soft ground on that occasion and can capitalise on what looks a good opportunity. Shock Galway winner Brave Crogha has to concede plenty of weight under his penalty, while Lord Ffrench has shown promise in both starts and there should be more to come.

PURE LOGIC has found one too good on each of her three starts to date but this might be her most straightforward task yet and she's marginally preferred to Leave In Secret, who should reverse form with Brave Corgha from last time. Lord Ffrench isn't totally discounted.

The best form line is PURE LOGIC's second in a winners' contest at Galway; 'Shark' Hanlon's filly is ground-versatile and can take this

18:00 Redcar Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

The hat-trick seeking ZOZIMUS makes most appeal following two wins at Pontefract and he should be difficult to stop. David O'Meara's charge won in decisive fashion on his latest outing and a 5lb penalty doesn't appear likely to halt his progression. Carnival Zain arrives here 13lb below his last winning mark and he should not be discounted, while Empire Of Light could also be thereabouts.

EMPIRE OF LIGHT continues to shape well so remains of interest back against his elders. Hat-trick seeking Zozimus is the obvious threat under a penalty with Carnival Zain another to consider.

Zozimus isn't opposed lightly in his hat-trick bid but LEADENHALL's C&D third in May is strong form and headgear could help him.

18:15 Windsor Listed (Class 1) 11f Race Class Flow

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

DEIRA MILE has his first outing since finishing a respectable fourth in the Derby. The St Leger entrant has every chance on these terms and can resume winning ways having landed a novice race here back in April. Aimeric was slightly disappointing at Goodwood latest having gone close in Listed company at Newmarket before that, but he's still preferred to Salisbury third Sea Of Roses. Cash makes a belated seasonal debut and is capable of going well on the pick of his form.

AIMERIC has shown improved form this year, successful in a Lingfield handicap before running well in a pair of listed races, so he could be able to bounce back to winning ways returned to this level. Deira Mile is feared most after his fourth in the Derby, though any rain would help his chances, with Cash also one to note on his reappearance.

Three-year-olds hold their own in this and DEIRA MILE is hard to oppose after posting a clear career best when fourth in the Derby.

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

A comfortable winner over 2m at Musselburgh on his penultimate start, KNIGHTS AFFAIR wasn't suited by dropping back in trip on his latest outing at Catterick, although he did well not to be beaten far into fourth. Going back up in distance is a big plus, with Achnamara looking best placed to chase him home, having scored on two of his last three starts. A capable sort on his day, Marbuzet can also have a say in proceedings.

MARBUZET is pretty consistent at this sort of level and having stuck to his task in a race not run to suit at Carlisle last time, he needs treating as though still in form. He gets the vote in favour of Knights Affair and Red Force One.

Lightly raced 4yo KNIGHTS AFFAIR (nap) has enjoyed a progressive campaign and is taken to add to his win at Musselburgh two starts ago.

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

The classy My Prospero made a pleasing belated seasonal reappearance when finishing third at Glorious Goodwood despite not enjoying the clearest of passages, and he must be respected in a bid to go two places better. That said, BRACKEN'S LAUGH edges preference. The form of his fifth in the Hampton Court Stakes at Royal Ascot has a strong look to it and, on his first start since undergoing wind surgery, this looks a good opportunity for him. Progressive handicapper Persica is well worth his place at this level and completes the shortlist.

MY PROSPERO was beaten only ½ length when third at Goodwood on his reappearance conceding weight all round, so he can build on that effort to resume winning ways as he goes back up in trip. The main danger could be Persica, who has been going the right way in handicaps and is well worth his place upped in grade, ahead of Sean.

An on-song My Prospero would take some beating but BRACKEN'S LAUGH (nap) remains unexposed and he's had a wind op since last time.

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

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

Turned out again quickly after a game performance to land the Grey Horse Handicap at Newmarket last week, ARCHDUKE FERDINAND looks more than capable of following up off a 3lb higher mark. Only worn down late on when second over C&D last month, Soul Singer looks to be the main danger, along with Novello Lad, who was short of room at a crucial stage when attempting to land the double at Thirsk recently. Others to note include Heroism, Kitaab and Marie's Secret.

Having opened his account at Doncaster, NOVELLO LAD was unlucky not to finish closer at Thirsk a fortnight ago given his troubled passage. He needs treating as though still in top form so he shades the vote in favour of Archduke Ferdinand and Soul Singer.

Money for Kitaab would change the complexion of the race but NOVELLO LAD is improving and can gain his second win.

19:15 Windsor Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

ARKHALIA FLYNN appeared to relish the step up to 1m when scoring with the minimum of fuss at Ffos Las earlier this month and, upped 5lb, it would be no surprise if he were able to complete a double with the possibility of further improvement not out of the question. This step back up in trip can help Lyndon B and he can emerge as the main danger to the selection off what looks a workable mark. A 1lb rise for a recent C&D second doesn't discount Intercessor.

The improving ARKHALIA FLYNN can take the next up the step the ladder in his stride. Fellow 3-y-o Midnight Drive is an obvious danger assuming she's ready to roll after a break. Lyndon B caught the eye at Newbury recently and looks best of the older brigade.

A few with chances and they include PITNEY, for whom the cards haven't fallen too favourably the last twice.

19:30 Redcar Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

ATOMISE finished five lengths clear of the third when hitting the crossbar at Ayr earlier in the month and is only 3lb higher for that performance. Michael Dods' five-year-old sports a first-time visor and may only need to reproduce that effort in order to go one better. Wrath Of Hector struck in commanding fashion at Yarmouth on his latest outing and holds an obvious chance off 4lb higher, while Barnaby can pick up any pieces.

Having caught the eye on occasions already this term, HURSTWOOD appeals as being on a workable mark and, with the return to 6f in his favour, he gets the nod to prove the point and come out on top. Atomise is knocking on the door and feared along with Yarmouth-scorer Wrath of Hector and Gunnerside.

A 4lb rise for WRATH OF HECTOR's convincing win at Yarmouth could prove lenient. He earns the vote ahead of Hurstwood.

19:45 Windsor Handicap (Class 6) 11f Race Class Flow

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

Elforleather arrives on the back of a comfortable victory over 1m4f at Ffos Las and it would be no surprise if he had a part to play once again off a 4lb higher mark. That said, the hat-trick seeking KINETIC looks a more solid proposition for win purposes. James Owen's charge scored with plenty in hand over 1m4f at Wolverhampton on Tuesday and she looks capable of successfully shouldering a 6lb penalty in this company. Red Cloud is respected most of the remainder.

KINETIC is thriving under the expert tutelage of James Owen and fancied to defy a 6 lb penalty and rattle off a quick hat-trick. Handily-weighted Red Cloud rates the chief danger now back in handicap company with Ffos Las victor Elforleather and Neil Mulholland's new recruit Little Venice not discounted either.

Topweight KINETIC has thrived since joining James Owen and can complete a hat-trick. Elforleather could be best of the rest.

20:00 Redcar Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Pink Stripes produced a better effort to make the frame in a classified event at Wolverhampton last time and is an interesting contender back on turf in handicap company. However, the vote goes to KYBER CRYSTAL, who wasn't disgraced in third over 5f at Hamilton last month and has since undergone wind surgery. Hard Solution and Mrs Trump are others to note.

A dual winner already this term, MRS TRUMP has essentially held her form well in defeat subsequently and, with the return to this longer trip worth exploring, she could be the answer. Athollblair Boy and Kyber Crystal are others to consider, as is Urban Dandy in a trappy finale.

5yo KYBER CRYSTAL caught the eye with her late headway over 5f at Hamilton last time and she gets the vote ahead of Mrs Trump.

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.
