14:00 Newbury Maiden (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

This looks like an ideal opportunity for Irish raider SHE'S QUALITY, following a strong runner-up effort at the Curragh last time out. She can get off the mark at the fourth time of asking, with costly newcomer Romantic Style and promising Salisbury third Star Music looking best placed to chase her home. Assema and Looking For Queen can also have a say in proceedings.

SHE'S QUALITY sets a near-useful standard so should prove hard to beat in what looks a thin maiden for the track. Star Music made a promising debut when third at Salisbury so rates the main threat, though market support for Charlie Appleby's expensive newcomer Romantic Style would look significant.

Irish challenger SHE'S QUALITY has shown strong form at the Curragh on more than one occasion and is taken to get off the mark.

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

UNPLUGGED was thwarted in his hat-trick bid at Haydock earlier in the month, but apprentice Lewis Chalkley now takes off 7lb and can get the in-form seven-year-old back on the winning trail. Tele Red was also unable to land a three-timer when third at Pontefract last time, but should not be taken lightly now eased in class. Bringbackmemories may appreciate quicker conditions and also enters the reckoning.

Quite a few to consider with KING TRITON just about the most persuasive option for his in-form yard on the back of a promising reappearance from his reduced mark. Tele Red and Unplugged both came up short in their respective hat-trick bids last time but remain of firm interest.

Better than ever this year, TELE RED is preferred to Magical Mile, a dual 1m2f winner last summer for Benoit De La Sayette.

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

LOADED QUIVER deservedly got off the mark when just holding on at Brighton last time out and he sets the standard on the back of that effort. Conditions look to be in his favour once more and Archie Watson's charge is narrowly preferred to This Time Maybe, who ran a career best when second at Windsor over further. Kempton winner American Tale and Knicks can also go well.

LOADED QUIVER found extra for pressure when landing the odds at Brighton 3 weeks ago, and from a very workable opening mark, he's selected to follow up. American Tale also won last time and he possesses plenty of scope, with Mitwaa likely to do better now allotted a mark.

Brighton maiden winner LOADED QUIVER could be suited by the first-time cheekpieces on his nursery debut and he earns the vote.

Instant Recall was far from disgraced when eighth in the Super Sprint at Newbury last month and should be involved if producing a similar level of performance here. Nevertheless, DUE FOR LUCK made a big impression when successful on his debut at Carlisle in June, with John Quinn's gelding taken to defy a 3lb penalty. Saint Matthew offered plenty of encouragement when runner-up effort at Pontefract three weeks ago and also enters calculations now dropped to 5f.

DUE FOR LUCK looked potentially useful when a ready winner on his Carlisle debut in June and is taken give the weight away to Instant Recall and Saint Matthew. Newcomer South Shore would also need considering if the betting speaks for him.

There was plenty to like about the way DUE FOR LUCK strung them out on debut and he can defy the 3lb concession to Saint Matthew.

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

A determined winner at Lingfield last time out following a pair of solid runner-up efforts, FLYING SPIRIT looks the one to beat again and he can notch up a third career victory on just his sixth career outing on turf. That may be at the main expense of the unexposed Dark Desire and Captain Cuddles, who ran his best race as a three-year-old when runner-up over C&D last time out.

CAPTAIN CUDDLES has returned from a short break in very good order, finding only one who improved markedly too strong over C&D 11 days ago. Nicely on top of the remainder then, he gets the nod to prove his mark a workable one. Change Sings was seen to good effect when scoring on handicap debut at Kempton but he's a well-bred type who can do better again and is feared. Dark Desire and Lord Uhtred are others to monitor.

The vote goes to CAPTAIN CUDDLES who has run well off this mark in both starts since being gelded.

Chumbaa put her experience to good use when scoring in a maiden at Hamilton recently and her mark looks workable. However, BE HERE NOW makes slightly more appeal after finishing third on his nursery debut at Musselburgh and may be able to make light work of a 2lb rise in the ratings. Vitarli and Reflexion Faite have claims on their best form now entering this sphere too.

REFLEXION FAITE was unlucky to bump into Miaharris on her penultimate start at Sandown and looks interesting on that piece of form now switching to a low-level nursery, so she receives the vote. The dangers are headed by Be Here Now, who may do better still, and recent Hamilton-scorer Chumbaa.

The vote goes to REFLEXION FAITE who has improved with each start. The form of her last two efforts has been franked.

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

ISLAND BANDIT ticks a lot of boxes with two wins from three starts here, one over this trip, and, as the four-year-old also handles the predicted going, he seems to have every chance. He took a similar race last time out at Sandown and, although he has a 5lb penalty to carry, there may be more to come. Classic was a good fourth in a better race here over a furlong shorter and has every chance if he gets home, while Crack Shot is another to take seriously.

CLASSIC shaped as if still on a good mark when fourth here 10 days ago and, with the step back up to 1m well worth exploring, he earns the vote. Metabolt looked back in form at Windsor recently and must enter calculations, along with Monte Linas, who's better judged on his York win having seemed unsuited by testing ground at Sandown last time.

The step back up to 1m could be just what CLASSIC (nap) needs following his staying-on fourth over 7f here, when denied a clear run.

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

Not beaten far when runner-up in the Silver Trophy over C&D recently, IMPELLER sets the standard on that piece of form and can notch up a fifth career success. A winner at Windsor on his penultimate outing, Abate can give the selection most to think about, along with Origintrail, who should be suited by going back up in trip following a narrow defeat over 5f last time out.

ORIGINTRAIL remains a low-mileage 4-y-o and, having slipped in the weights, looked a shade unlucky not to win when just touched off over 5f here 3 weeks ago. The return to this trip will hold no fears (both career victories gained at 6f) and she earns the vote to confirm the promise of that run. Impeller, runner-up in the Silver Trophy over C&D 10 days ago, and multiple C&D scorer Mark's Choice are others to consider, along with Abate.

Mark's Choice should do better but ORIGINTRAIL (nap) has slid to a handy mark and looks the one after a much better run last time.

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

The 80-rated SIMPSON'S PARADOX has reasonable claims. He has finished runner-up on his last two starts when caught in the closing stages over slightly further, so this drop in trip could work the oracle. He is a full brother to the top-class Alpha Centauri and a Bellewstown maiden probably wasn't on the agenda when he was starting out, but there should be a race or two in him. Woodcock Flight has been placed in five of his 10 races and should get in the mix, while Hokusai came in second when last seen at this track in April which gives him prospects. Not Forgotten is rated 3lb superior to Simpson's Paradox, however, his best form has been on the Polytrack at Dundalk. Joseph O'Brien's newcomer Princess Rabab should be checked for market strength in a race that won't take a lot of winning.

NOT FORGOTTEN finished with running left when second in maiden at Dundalk 2 weeks ago and is preferred to Simpson's Paradox and Hokusai in what looks a fairly useful event.

An open maiden. NOT FORGOTTEN has run his two best races on the AW but should be fine on turf and he edges preference.

Edge Of Ember was expected to do better when sent off favourite at Chelmsford on his first start after wind surgery, but he is upped in trip now and may improve. African Star is hard to gauge after winning his maiden at 80/1, and he could surprise a few on his handicap debut, but RAGOSINA is narrowly preferred. She ran on into third despite becoming unbalanced at Newmarket and sports first-time blinkers.

GORDON GREY is given a second chance to confirm the promise of his Newmarket handicap debut second, form which has been franked by those around him. Sailing On, Medieval Gold and African Star all have unexposed potential now switching to handicap company and may provide the main opposition.

Gordon Grey is a tempting option but the William Haggas-trained MEDIEVAL GOLD could prove to be much better than his opening mark.

An eye-catcher when keeping on for second over 7f on his first run for new connections at Haydock recently, TOBETSO looks the one to be with if building on that effort. The step up in trip looks like a major plus and he should have too much for the likes of End Zone and Saisons D'Or, who has been in consistent form of late. Others to note are Pol Roger and Cosmos Raj.

TOUCHWOOD didn't enjoy the rub of the green last time and might be worth chancing now down to a clear career-low mark. Tobetso is a 3-y-o heading in the right direction and rates an obvious danger, while Cosmos Raj is also respected as a former C&D winner who is handily drawn.

This could well be set up for something from off the pace and COSMIC RAJ, a three-time late-summer course winner, gets the nod.

THE BOG BANK has a very good record at this track and could post her third course success. James Ryan has struck up a terrific association with this mare and his 7lb claim keeps her highly competitive. She wasn't beaten far into third at Dundalk a fortnight ago and should relish returning to Bellewstown. She has a tough draw, but it was a similar story in her two previous victories here. Barnhill Rose is more than capable over an extended 7f and ought to be on the premises with Daniel King claiming 5lb. John McConnell's horses are always worth scrutinising at this venue and Smaoineamh Sile looks threatening after a much-improved fourth over further in Leopardstown. Dylan Browne McMonagle is a good booking for Indiana Grey who is returning from a break. James Henry is another with a chance while Sunset Nova is always capable of popping up as evidenced by nine career victories.

DOUBLE MARTINI needs to be forgiven a below-par run last time but he had been shaping up quite well prior to that and might prove the answer to this tricky handicap. His stablemate Smaoineamh Sile ran well at Leopardstown last time and is second choice ahead of The Bog Bank and James Henry.

An unappealing affair. THE BOG BANK looks the most likely winner. Indiana Grey could go well if she gets the breaks

Stumps Or Slips is a decent sort, winning very easily here in June before being pulled up at Bangor after making far too many mistakes. He may struggle to give 24lb to MISS ANTIPOVA, who deserves a first success over fences after five consecutive second places, the latest when only beaten a length and a quarter at Uttoxeter over further. First-time cheekpieces may work the oracle, while Imac Wood is an interesting alternative assuming he improves for his first start after wind surgery.

MISS ANTIPOVA ran well to finish runner-up for the fifth successive start at Uttoxeter and the application of headgear may help her finally get her head in front. Stumps or Slips is a big threat if his latest run can be forgiven, while Imac Wood took a step back in the right direction over hurdles last time.

William Haggas won this in 2021 and has an interesting contender here with Unlimited, who was third on his latest start and has been gelded since. He needs to improve, but a mark of 70 for his handicap debut looks fair. Gold Aura has done little wrong with a second and a third this season and she could also have some say, but KHINJANI is hard to oppose. A winner last time out at Haydock, she travelled well throughout for a comfortable success and an added 2lb may not be enough to stop her.

KHINJANI found only the progressive Gallant Lion, who has gone in twice again since, over this C&D last month prior to going one better at Haydock 17 days ago. She appeared to have more in hand than the winning margin would suggest on that occasion and, up just 2 lb, she is taken to strike again. Forest Demon, also successful last time, is feared most ahead of the upped-in-trip Gold Aura and handicap-debutant Unlimited.

The step up in trip looks to be the right move for GOLD AURA and she is taken to get off the mark at the sixth attempt.

A maiden after six starts, the step up to two miles can work the oracle for MICHAEL'S PLEDGE as he looks to get off the mark following a career-best effort when runner-up at Redcar last time out. Similar comments apply to the unexposed Mass Consumption, while Spantik may not have won since September 2021 but is well handicapped on his old form. The shortlist is completed by Marbuzet and A Day To Dream.

A literal reading of MASS CONSUMPTION's third-placed finish in novice company last time suggests he's a fair way ahead of the handicapper so assuming he stays 2m, a first win looks on the cards. Michael's Pledge and Marbuzet also have something to recommend them.

There's little to choose between Michael's Pledge and Spantik. It could be worth chancing the stamina of MASS CONSUMPTION.

RAMPAGE looks another good ride for James Ryan. He stayed on well for third in a big field handicap at the Curragh on his last start and a new visor might eke out a bit more from him. He won in this grade at Leopardstown in July. Skontonovski won at Dundalk on his penultimate start and then came with his customary late challenge in Killarney before going down by half a length. He is dangerous off the same mark of 59. Jazz Dreamers has a course victory in the book and showed that another one may not be far away after a close second in Gowran Park this month. Life is tougher for What Adaay after being hit with a 9lb rise for beating Rampage by a neck at this track in July, but her course form figures of '122' will stand her in good stead.

WHAT ADAAY has yet to run a bad race at this venue, showing a determined attitude when edging out re-opposing Rampage over C&D in July and she could well be the way to go again from this 5 lb higher mark. Skontonovski arrives in good order and is feared, whilst the aforementioned Rampage is another firmly in the mix with a first-time visor now reached for.

The stronger division. What Adaay and Rampage clash again and have clear credentials. SHAWAF is a tentative choice

CARLO DU BERLAIS gets the nod. The winner of two of his three starts over fences, including last time out at Uttoxeter over three miles, he has another 5lb here but is lightly raced and should still be improving. Last-time-out winners Reserve Tank and Mr Mafia can also go well, with the former feared most on the basis that he was impressive at Market Rasen and now sports first-time cheekpieces.

It could just be worth siding with RESERVE TANK who cashed in off his much-reduced mark when ending a lengthy losing run at Market Rasen back in June and he comes here remaining with plenty of handicapping scope on his old form. Low-mileage improver Carlo du Berlais can emerge as the lead threat.

Fergal O'Brien's CARLO DU BERLAIS has little in hand off his current mark but it's been a solid start over fences and he tries hard.

A small field may see this race turn tactical, and if it does, FIVER FRIDAY could be the one with the most speed. She was fifth at Naas last time and has been found an event that may not take much winning here. Purnika could find more in a first-time visor and would appear to be her biggest danger, leaving Camusdarach to follow them home.

A weak maiden and an excellent opportunity for Irish-raider FIVER FRIDAY. Fellow 3-y-o filly Purnika is a clear next best.

Irish filly FIVER FRIDAY holds the clear edge on form and arrives in good nick too so looks to hold excellent claims.

SWEETEST ROSE appeals in this grade. She had been acquitting herself well in maiden company with four placed efforts before getting off the mark at Listowel in June. Connections then pitched her into Listed class at Naas last month where she finished unplaced. She should be a factor off a mark of 79 in her first handicap, though. Gosford was a very solid second in a big field at the Curragh and the third home has since delivered in Killarney. He won at Gowran Park on his penultimate start and should be to the fore here. Fleetfootsoldier won at Bellewstown last month and is another to consider, while Yuzu, Quantum Light and Pub Talk will all have their supporters in a competitive race.

GOSFORD confirmed he's on the upgrade when runner-up in a big field at the Curragh and remains of interest. Quantum Light and One Boss head the dangers.

A minefield. SILVER SALVER is a shot in the dark stepping back in trip, though most of these have far more obvious claims

In an interesting contest there are plenty in with chances, though none more so than WINTERWATCH. Three times a winner on the Flat, he has come home second on his last three starts over hurdles and will be race-fit after running on the level earlier in the month. Gaius won his maiden here with ease before seemingly coming unstuck on heavy ground at Cartmel, and he could go well along with The Derry Girl and bumper winner Jeudidee.

WINTERWATCH ran badly on his most recent Flat outing, but he sets a clear standard back over hurdles and won't get many better opportunities to open his account in this sphere. Recent C&D winner The Derry Girl is fancied to prove the main threat.

Bellestarr disappointed last time out on faster ground but was only beaten a length on soft in July and should not be discounted. Loubiere ran her best race yet when third at Beverley recently and she could go well of the same mark, but a chance is taken on SEAHORSE SYD. Only a head behind Loubiere on that occasion, despite being hampered at the start, that was his first start after being gelded and he may have more improvement to come.

A very weak nursery and it could be worth chancing handicap debutant Likleman, who went off second favourite on debut in what has turned out to be a decent Salisbury maiden. Bellestarr could emerge as the biggest threat if her latest run is forgiven.

It could pay to side with LOUBIERE who can race off the same mark as when posting a good third on her Beverley nursery debut last time.

BEANO POWER showed big improvement on her second start and might be able to concede plenty weight. Out of a well-bred unraced mare and by a speedy stallion, she ran nicely to the line in a better maiden at Cork and can continue to progress. Comein Comein was beaten 5.25 lengths by the selection at Cork but now being all of 18lb better off, cannot be ruled out. Janzoor, in first-time cheekpieces, has plenty pace and should be suited by this distance but probably needs to improve while Tai Tam Bay ran well when dropped in distance at Sligo and is suited by easy ground. Glamorously disappointed in a valuable race at Naas and runs in first-time cheekpieces while Little Miss Peppi finished last in that Naas race but had previously chased home a useful type in a three-runner race at Hamilton and has a light weight.

BUDDY BATT wasn't seen to best effect on account of where he raced at Cork on his latest start but he had previously displayed fair form on his first 2 starts and it would come as no surprise to see a better showing kept to the minimum trip. Glamorously and Janzoor are others to consider.

Not a strong race. JANZOOR had shaped okay in two maidens before predictably coming up short in a valuable sales race.

SEA THE CLOUDS found only a subsequent winner too strong over C&D at the start of the month and a similar level of performance may be enough to defy a 3lb rise in the ratings. Izayte arrives in good heart judged on his last two runner-up efforts over 2m and could emerge as the chief threat if seeing out this trip. Oslo caught the eye on his return at Bangor recently and also merits consideration.

OSLO shaped quite well on his recent return to action and is given a chance to confirm that promise. Sea The Clouds is feared most on the back of his near miss over C&D at the beginning of the month. Izayte is another who arrives in form, while Whiskey And Water is one to note in the betting back hurdling under Harry Cobden.

The 6yo OSLO has to enter the equation. He took a while to get his eye in at Bangor but ended up being quite eyecatching.

CANARIA PRINCE won this race by a neck last year off a 7lb higher mark and, although he hasn't won since, the five-year-old has a good record over course and distance. Time To Spark intrigues dropping back in trip for his handicap debut and is worth a market watch, although top-weight Aconcagua Mountain could be the biggest danger after a good run when third at Beverley off this rating.

ACONCAGUA MOUNTAIN deserves to get his head back in front following a couple of solid recent placed efforts at Ayr and Beverley, and he has every chance of doing so in this contest. The 5-y-o earns the vote ahead of Cheyenne Nation, who has struggled the last twice but the handicapper has cut him some slack and he may well bounce back with a bold show. Canaria Prince and Sixcor are others to consider.

POLAR BEAR hasn't run since disappointing in May, when his rider reported he 'didn't let himself down on the ground', but is generally reliable. A C&D winner in April, he finished a third at Premier Handicap level in early May, holds Charming Lady on two previous meetings and will have been freshened up. Mythical Phoenix beat Double Jabbed (into second) and Different Look (fourth) here in July but the trio meet on different terms. Double Jabbed makes his handicap debut and is 9lb better off. Hot Whispers won that Curragh race but her rating has climbed to 56 and is also 4lb out of the handicap and was previously beaten 18 times. Shoebox King disappointed slightly in that Curragh race but has claims on previous form and likes easy ground. Charming Lady's stamina may have been stretched at Leopardstown while So Majestic and Tamazu aren't as effective on easy ground.

This is a lot harder than the 0-70 handicap HOT WHISPERS won at the Curragh 10 days ago but in a race in which several have lots to prove, she's just about the percentage play. Mythical Phoenix won his maiden over this C&D and is a big threat, with Polar Bear another to consider on return from a break.

It may have taken HOT WHISPERS (nap) an eternity to win but she was well on top at the Curragh. Effectively off the same mark here.

KAZONTHERAZZ shaped better than the bare form suggests on her return at Uttoxeter last month and the drop to 2m4f could prove just the tonic for Martin Keighley's mare. Beholden looks to have a race of this nature within his compass judged on last year's second at Huntingdon and the Cacique gelding shouldn't be underestimated on the return from a 474-day layoff. Cawthorne Lad is entitled to improve on his first run for new connections when third at Stratford in June.

KAZONTHERAZZ should be sharper with last month's reappearance behind her and gets the nod with Sean Bowen taking over in the saddle. Creative Control is well capable off this mark if reacting positively to a wind op since last seen in the spring. The reappearing Rare Clouds won first time up last season and also makes the shortlist.

METRIC won a shade cosily when recording a first success at Leicester on Wednesday and the David O'Meara-trained filly looks capable of shrugging off a 6lb penalty.

Future Times could appreciate the ease in trip and rounds off the shortlist.

METRIC impressed with how smoothly she moved into contention off a steady gallop when opening her account over further at Leicester 6 days ago and, with the likelihood of more to come, she could be up to defying a penalty, with Asgard's Captain rating the chief threat. Hidden Code may do best of the others.

There are numerous form-lines tying the principal runners and perhaps well-bred NIGHT GLOW can continue her progression. Out of a winning sister to Oaks winner Light Shift, she is a sibling to four blacktype performers and while underwhelming on debut (2.5 lengths behind Dalliances), subsequently finished well at Killarney, hinting more improvement is likely and also steps up a furlong. Aird mightn't have been herself at Leopardstown and returns from a mini-break. She showed promise on his initial runs, beating Delicate Girl on her June reappearance but was subsequently disappointed slightly at Leopardstown, finishing behind Alalcance, which was then well beaten at Killarney. Delicate Girl holds first-time visored Eziva on Galway form, although is 7lb worse off while beautifully-bred Erato was laboured on CD debut in July and wears blinkers. Deadly Nightshade was behind Aird at Leopardstown and while she should progress, needs to find plenty improvement.

DELICATE GIRL bumped into a pretty useful newcomer at Galway last time but she beat the rest easily enough and is capable of winning a maiden. Alalcance and Erato are a couple of potential threats.

Jessica Harrington's ALALCANCE had a couple of today's rivals behind at Leopardstown and she's entitled to keep progressing.

19:25 Worcester Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

A taking winner of a bumper at Newton Abbot last time out, FOUNTAINSPINKLADY can be trusted to follow up on her hurdling bow. The step up in trip doesn't look as though it will inconvenience her and she gets the vote ahead of Sunday Soldier and Jolie Baie, who ran a career best when runner-up over C&D last month. Impression Chic is interesting too.

Bumper-winner FOUNTAINSPINKLADY is bred to relish this trip and in truth, she could hardly have been found a weaker race for hurdles debut. Jolie's Baie's limitations are well established but a repeat of her effort in handicap company over C&D will see her thereabouts.

19:35 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Wreck It Ryley appreciated the return to 7f when getting up to lead in the closing stages at Ayr recently and is sure to prove popular off only 2lb higher. However, RWENEARLYTHEREDAD, who was just over a length behind on that occasion, may gain his revenge. The Havana Grey gelding is 9lb better off when taking Zak Wheatley's 5lb claim into account, which could be enough to reverse the from. Cuban Rock wasn't at his best last time out and is another to note on the drop in class.

CUBAN ROCK ultimately paid the price for setting a ferocious early pace when giving way inside the final furlong at Ayr 17 days ago. He was in good form here prior to that and is taken to resume winning ways. Rwenearlytheredad was only fifth in the Ayr race won by Wreck It Ryley recently but the outcome could be different this time, with Declan Carroll's charge likely to have a better chance of seeing this trip out round here.

Unexposed over this trip, WRECK IT RYLEY can confirm recent Ayr dominance over Rwenearlytheredad. Cuban Rock is second choice.

19:45 Bellewstown Handicap 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

BARNACULLIA is a strong stayer who is just 2lb higher than when winning a Fegentri Series handicap at Leopardstown. Reliable in all codes, he was well held when fifth at the Galway festival but the first two horses pulled well clear and a reproduction of his latest win would give him every chance under today's 5lb claimer. Walking On Glass beat the selection 1.3 lengths at Galway and subsequently ran well at the Curragh 16 days ago. The pair meet on identical terms but the selection is two years younger and less exposed. Khadaash hasn't run since a useful fifth-placing on All-Weather Finals Day in April but could be ready for his local yard. He stays well but mightn't appreciate easy ground. Crassus was behind the selection at Galway and likes soft while Herculaneum won well at Down Royal in July and ran well at Galway but isn't ahead of the handicapper. Kendancer needs these staying distances while Dartan runs in first-time cheekpieces.

Multiple jumps winner BARNACULLIA did the job well when opening his account in this sphere at the fifth attempt at Leopardstown recently. Off just a 2 lb higher mark here and with this stiffer test unlikely to be an issue, the 6-y-o is taken to follow up. Next on the list is Walking On Glass, who performed with credit in a big-field handicap at the Curragh last time. Herculaneum also enters calculations.

If there's an improver lurking then it's KHADAASH, who returns to turf on the back of an encouraging run of form on the AW.

19:55 Worcester Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 23f Race Class Flow

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

Denied by the narrowest of margins over C&D last time out, CLASSIC CONCORDE deserves a change in luck and he can get that on this occasion. The 10-year-old is capable of landing a third career victory, with the in-form Judge Earle and last month's C&D winner Woodie Flash looking best placed to chase him home. Best Mate Dave and Blue Sans cannot be ruled out either.

If able to reproduce something akin to his recent chase form back in this sphere, JUDGE EARLE will surely take plenty of stopping off a potentially lenient hurdles mark. Aki Bomaye clearly has a fair bit to prove but he's interesting on debut for the Jack Jones yard with Harry Cobden booked, and market confidence behind this 8-y-o should be heeded. Classic Concorde is third choice ahead of the hat-trick seeking Blue Sans.

A few hold chances but BEST MATE DAVE (nap) probably has more to offer after his successful handicap debut.

20:05 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

BLUE ANTARES repaid his followers with a ready display at Ripon 10 days ago and should take some stopping if running to a similar level. Charlie Johnston's colt appeared to appreciate a patient ride on that occasion and a 7lb rise looks more than fair. Golden Valour has been shaping as if this longer trip could bring about some improvement, with the seven-year-old feared most, ahead of C&D winner Graces Quest.

It was at the tenth time of asking that BLUE ANTARES opened his account at Redcar, but the way he went about his business there strongly suggested that the wait for further success will not be long. Indeed, the Frankel colt looks more than capable of defying a 7 lb rise in a race of this nature. Graces Quest and Golden Valour are taken to fill the places.

The vote goes to GRACES QUEST who is 2-4 over C&D and is back off her last winning mark.

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.
