(2) Quietness 13/8, Four wins from 5 runs this year. Career best when winning 5-runner handicap at Thirsk (12f, good to firm, 5/6) 22 days ago, in control long way out. Further progress needed up 6 lb here but she's clearly on a roll.
Four wins and a second in five runs since joining Marcus Tregoning; should go well again.

Four in a row this summer (first two C&D) and good second latest; solid.

13:30 Beverley Handicap (Class 2) 12f Race Class Flow

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

The progressive QUIETNESS is a prime candidate to make this a searching test and having won four of her seven previous starts on turf, this tough filly appeals strongly in a field of this size, despite going up 6lb for her latest success. Walter Hartright, already a dual C&D winner, can make this tough for the selection, while Drawn To Dream, a Listed winner in Germany before joining Jamie Osborne, has been highly tried this season and also appeals now dropped in class.

WALTER HARTRIGHT and Quietness are both enjoying productive campaigns and are taken to fight out the finish of this handicap, despite the fact that they're both stepping up in class. The former is 2-3 over this C&D and the form of his latest Chepstow second looks solid, factors which helps tilt the scales in his favour. Drawn To Dream, formerly a useful performer in Germany, is interesting back in a handicap but Loyal Touch would prefer slower ground and Thundering is 5 lb out of the handicap.

Prolific pair Quietness and Walter Hartright look sure to go well but are taken on with the class-dropping DRAWN TO DREAM.

13:45 Curragh Maiden 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ACAPULCO BAY has an excellent pedigree, ran a very promising race on debut over 7f here and has a host of big-race entries in the coming months. He was second to a once-raced stablemate on debut and while it took him a little while to initially quicken, he finished strongly and today's step up to a mile should suit. Genealogy was a 400,000gns yearling and is out of a Group-placed dam who is related to 1,000 Guineas winner Finsceal Beo, but jockey bookings suggest he is the second string of the selection's trainer. Of those with form, Emit showed promise at Leopardstown on debut but looks vulnerable to smart types, while Nakatomi was well beaten by an impressive winner at Dundalk recently.

ACAPULCO BAY was a big eyecatcher on debut here 3 weeks ago and could be hard to beat with improvement on the cards up in trip. This is usually a good maiden and one dominated by Aidan O'Brien, so stablemate Genealogy is an obvious contender. Brandon Creek is another newcomer to note.

It is hard to oppose ACAPULCO BAY after a deeply promising debut here earlier in the month with the mile sure to suit

(2) Glenfinnan 13/2, Got off the mark for new yard at Ascot (6f) in May also fifth in the Wokingham there. Well held in Stewards' Cup at Goodwood last time so needs to get back on track.
Campaigned at 6f this term, winning once; recorded a 7f win under Oisin Murphy last year.

(4) Havana Blue 10/1, Capitalised on a reduced mark when landing 7-runner handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 17 days ago, always well positioned. Up 4 lb in tougher race but he still can't be discounted.
Back in clover at Beverley this month; gained back-to-back wins last term; appealing.

(1) Star Of Orion 10/1, Back to his best for his new yard when ½-length second of 6 to Waiting All Night in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good) 15 days ago. Must enter calculations with cheekpieces added.
Ties in with Waiting All Night on latest effort (second run for new yard); possibilities.

7/2(+36%)
(6) Spanish Blaze 7/2, C&D winner in June and in good form since, fifth of 11 in handicap at Newbury (7f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Can give another good account off the same mark.
Form figures over C&D read 112; successful on this card last year and warrants respect.

Lyndon B

5/1(+29%)
(8) Lyndon B 5/1, It's now 12 runs since his last win in 2022 but he was unlucky when second of 15 in handicap at Newbury (7f, good to firm) 15 days ago, finishing well after meeting trouble. Raised 3 lb for that but it shouldn't prevent him going well.
Unlucky at Newbury last time; on a two-year losing spell but holds a fighting chance.

Has gained his 2024 wins on AW; remains on highest mark and goes up in grade.

Sir Les Patterson

12/1(+40%)
(7) Sir Les Patterson 12/1, Won a pair of 7f AW novices but dropped away tamely when last of 12 in the Silver Bowl at Haydock on his turf/handicap debut in May. Fared no better in the Britannia at Royal Ascot, so he needs to get back on track having been gelded since last seen.
2-2 over this distance (AW wins) but still has something to prove on turf.

13:50 Sandown Handicap (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Waiting All Night narrowly accounted for Star Of Orion (second) when scoring at Newmarket a couple of weeks ago and both have to be respected here on the back of those efforts. That said, preference is for FEEL THE NEED, who was far from disgraced when chasing home a very well-handicapped rival when last seen at York in June. Off just a 2lb higher mark, the four-year-old has to be of interest.

This is wide open but LYNDON B signalled he's ready to go in again when an unlucky Newbury second last time out so edges the vote. Waiting All Night comes here in top form so heads the list of dangers, although Star of Orion, Feel The Need and Havana Blue all bring solid credentials too. Mr Baloo completes the shortlist.

Judged on 2023 data, northern raider HAVANA BLUE (nap) looks capable of following up his Beverley win. Spanish Blaze is feared most.

In the mix judged on Cork Listed win, but his tendency to blow the start is a worry.

14:05 Beverley Listed (Class 1) 5f  Race Class Flow

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

A winner at this level last September, COMMANCHE FALLS is showing no signs of his enthusiasm waning and, on the back of a commendable third in a heritage handicap at York last week, Michael Dods' admirable campaigner has solid credentials for further Listed success. Democracy Dilemma is suggested as the chief threat to the selection, although last year's winner and historical data on three-year-olds contesting this race beyond the last 10 years suggests Epsom 3YO Dash winner Blue Storm and the unexposed Staincliff can stake bold claims for their generation.

A cracking renewal of this valuable contest, despite the small field. The unexposed STAINCLIFF has much more on her plate compared to when landing a 5-runner Windsor novice on her belated seasonal reappearance but she looks destined for bigger and better things. The Jack Channon-trained filly shades preference ahead of consistent trailblazer Democracy Dilemma. If Commanche Falls is on-song he will be a big threat and the progressive Blue Storm has to enter calculations, too.

In an open event, the front-running DEMOCRACY DILEMMA appeals most after performing so well in a big-field handicap at York last week.

14:10 Chester Stakes (Class 2) 7f Race Class Flow

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

The form of LEONARDO DAX's debut performance has worked out extremely well, and he played his part in strengthening it when winning at Haydock next time. The Ten Sovereigns colt looks certain to appreciate a step up in trip and he is fancied to double his tally today. Karl Burke has his string in fine form and End Of Romance, who defeated a subsequent winner on his racecourse bow recently, might be the main danger. King Of Cities is another to consider.

KING OF CITIES shaped well on his debut when a sweet-travelling Newmarket third and can build on it now dropping back in trip to get off the mark. Haydock scorer Leonardo Dax also looks to have better days ahead of him and is next on the list ahead of Pontefract victor End of Romance.

Inisherin's half-brother KING OF CITIES was a promising third on his recent debut at Newmarket and he can build on that today.

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

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

Dodger Long is entitled to build on his second-placed reappearance at Market Rasen earlier this month and he isn't taken lightly. However, BRAVE KNIGHT completed a double at Stratford with some ease last month and a hat-trick looks likely for Paul Nicholls' promising four-year-old. Razzle Dazzle Boy offered more to work with when runner-up at Uttoxeter and he may fare best of the remainder.

BRAVE KNIGHT looks a useful early-season novice and should complete the hat-trick. Dodger Long and Razzle Dazzle Boy can fight it out for the forecast spot.

Paul Nicholls' BRAVE KNIGHT has won both his hurdle races easily and it's very hard to gauge the limit of his ability in this sphere.

14:20 Curragh Group 3 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

DREAMY takes a big step up from maiden company and meets more experienced rivals but showed smart ability on debut. Out of a Group 1 winner and a direct descendent from champion racemare Miesque, the selection overcame a wide draw to win over 7f on her debut and while that Goodwood form has yet to be properly tested, it is a traditionally strong race. Stablemate Garden Of Eden has a tougher task than when winning at Naas but remains of interest. Fiery Lucy finished second in the recent Ballyhane Stakes but takes a big step up in distance, while Lady O won easily at Galway but has more on her plate now.

DREAMY has the potential for considerable improvement on the back of her Glorious Goodwood debut success and can take the step up in class in her stride. Sir Mark Prescott's Alla Stella shaped well in a Sandown listed race last time and is second choice ahead of Fiery Lucy.

She has to prove her effectiveness on better ground but LADY O looked a smart filly in first-time cheekpieces at Galway

14:25 Sandown Group 3 (Class 1) 8f Race Class Flow

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

TAMFANA did not appear to fully see out the trip when fourth in the Grand Prix de Paris last month, but that was still a top effort in Group 1 company. She was previously a close third in the Prix de Diane and an arguably unlucky loser in the 1000 Guineas. A reproduction of any of those efforts would give David Menuisier's filly a big chance here. Doha is another who may benefit from a drop in trip and grade following an encouraging effort in the Nassau at Goodwood. Spiritual should not be discounted based on her C&D win in July, while Bright Thunder and Rolica are also noted.

TAMFANA's last run at this trip was an unlucky defeat in the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket so is clearly the one to beat down in class. Likeable older fillies Choisya and Doha can follow her home.

Tamfana is not opposed lightly but a solid alternative is DOOM. The shortlist is completed by Rolica and Doha.

14:35 Beverley Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Paul Midgley sent out the winner of this race last year and can stage a repeat with FRANK THE SPARK, who has made good progress of late and has a solid chance of backing up his Nottingham success off a 6lb higher mark. Emeralds Pride is feared most, despite a 5lb penalty for last Sunday's C&D win. Miss Brazen has an affinity for this course and also rates a player off 5lb lower than her last winning rating.

FRANK THE SPARK took another step forward when scoring in decisive fashion at Nottingham recently and a 6 lb rise in the weights may not be enough to stop him in his tracks. Fellow last-time-out winner Emeralds Pride looks a big threat having accounted for 15 rivals in good style over C&D last weekend. Let's Go Hugo was behind Opal Storm and Sounds Reason here earlier this month but he is taken to reverse the placings with those rivals this time and he is third choice.

The most appealing profile belongs to MISS BRAZEN (nap) who likes it here and is well treated on the pick of her efforts from last year.

14:40 Chester Handicap (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Yanifer was on target over 7f here recently and he is an obvious candidate despite being raised 4lb, while Carrytheone has been holding his form well this season. Preference, however, is for the unexposed UNDER SIEGE, who got off the mark with a determined success over 1m at Chelmsford last time out, and a mark of 94 could prove reasonable on his handicap debut. Revich hasn't been at his best this season, but he likes it around here and is on a dangerous mark.

If James Doyle is able to circumnavigate the inevitable congestion aboard CARRYTHEONE, the Michael Bell-trained 7-y-o may well prove the answer to this valuable handicap. He has done little wrong this season and did very well under the circumstances when third at Ascot three weeks ago. Unexposed 3-y-o Under Siege could be on a good mark for this handicap debut and is next on the list, though Physique, Boardman and Two Tempting are also feared.

The 6yo YANIFER has a very healthy 8-31 strike-rate and looked better than ever when winning here early this month. He can follow up.

Has good strike-rate over hurdles (5-9) and could have more to offer over fences.

14:45 Newton Abbot Handicap Chase (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Five-time hurdles winner Carrigeen Kampala arrives on the back of a fall at this venue, which tempers enthusiasm for her chase bow. She still warrants respect entering this sphere, but point-to-point winner GET SKY HIGH rates a more solid proposition on her opening bid over fences. Dan Skelton's mare, also successful in a bumper and twice over timber, has the scope to excel at this discipline and she shades the verdict. Hidalgo De L'isle could chase the duo home.

Low-mileage 9-y-o GET SKY HIGH has been in good form over hurdles and should make a chaser given her pointing background, so appeals as the most solid option. Carrigeen Kampala is next best.

Preference is for CARRIGEEN KAMPALA, who gained three of her five hurdling wins here and has a touch of class about her.

14:50 Curragh Group 3 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

RUDI'S APPLE has shown consistently smart form and drops down from Group 1 company. He ran well at Royal Ascot, was beaten by a subsequent Group winner in a July maiden at Fairyhouse and while outclassed in the Phoenix Stakes, that form is strong with the runner-up subsequently winning the Prix Morny. He is vulnerable to high-class types but is dependable. Ides Of March has also shown smart form and while a beaten favourite here in July, The Lion In Winter (winner) has significantly boosted that form subsequently. He showed plenty pace when scoring over this C&D three weeks ago but he steps up in grade here. When things go his way, Morning Vietnam is smart but he steps up in class and trip after winning at Cork.

IDES OF MARCH continued his progress when readily off the mark in a C&D maiden last time and he's well fancied to take this step up in grade in his stride. Rudi's Apple and Morning Vietnam are closely matched with the selection on form and could be the dangers.

The impression made by IDES OF MARCH dropped back to this trip here last time confirmed that he can compete at this level at least

15:00 Sandown Handicap (Class 2) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Balmacara has to be of interest having pulled 13 lengths clear of the third when filling second place over C&D on her latest outing in July. A 6lb rise for that effort is fair and another good run can be expected. That said, a chance can be taken with SEAN, who caught the eye when third over this trip at Windsor last time and that followed an encouraging second at Ascot. Involvement should benefit from this return to handicap company, while Wonder Legend must not be written off on just his second start this season.

INVOLVEMENT boasts some strong 3-y-o handicap form and might be the way to go. Fellow 3-y-o Balmacara coped fine with the step up to 1¼m when chasing home Persica here last month and is second choice ahead of Jamie Osborne's Sean.

Involvement and Balmacara are respected but SEAN has been knocking on the door again recently and gets the vote.

15:07 Beverley Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

GLORY HYDE (first) just got the better of Bella Kopella (second) when the pair met over this track and trip last month and, off a 2lb higher mark, she gets the vote to confirm that form en route to bringing up a double. Willolarupi impressed when coming from off the pace to score over C&D earlier this month and a 4lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid.

Several arrive in good order and it's difficult to pick between them but TAYGAR was back to form when scoring last time and remains well treated on old form, so she gets the nod from the plum draw. Stablemate Nelson Gay looks a player and recent C&D winner Glory Hyde is an obvious player.

The pick of three last-time-out winners could be the progressive GLORY HYDE, up just 2lb for a C&D success last month.

15:15 Chester Listed (Class 1) 14f  Race Class Flow

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

Samui has few miles on the clock and he took another step forward when finishing second in a valuable staying handicap at the Ebor Festival recently. The application of first-time cheekpieces (to go with the usual tongue-tie) could eke out more from him, although CAIUS CHORISTER looks the one to beat. David Menuisier's mare has grown accustomed to plying her trade at a higher level and, having shown more than enough when fourth in the Lillie Langtry at Goodwood last time out, she can exploit this drop in class. Last year's Ebor hero Absurde heads the remainder.

CAIUS CHORISTER is proving difficult to settle of late but can get away with it dropped markedly in class here with main threat Absurde likely to need this again. Samui has quickly developed into a smart performer on the Flat and looks best of the others.

There are clear risks with the entire field. The drop back in trip is the concern for Samui and a chance is taken on REAL DREAM.

15:20 Newton Abbot Handicap Chase (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

BEAT BOX justified favouritism when making a winning stable debut for Dan Skelton at Market Rasen a fortnight ago. An 8lb higher rating is unlikely to be the ceiling of the eight-year-old's ability and a brace could be on the cards. Go On Ya Goodthing is a potential fly in the ointment on his chase/yard bow for Fergal O'Brien and market support would be interesting. Triple chase winner Tonto Foley is also forecast to feature in his bid to supplement his last-start Perth victory.

BEAT BOX was the subject of heavy support prior to his successful stable debut at Market Rasen and he's well fancied to follow up at the likely expense of Tonto Foley, who is still going the right way. Bensini could take a hand if the blinkers/tongue tie have a positive effect. Market support for Go On Ya Goodthing would have to be taken seriously.

Still well treated off his new mark, BEAT BOX (nap) did not need to be asked for maximum effort to make a winning stable debut.

15:25 Curragh Group 3 9f  Race Speed Rating Flow

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

It isn't ideal that HANALIA drops in distance but she met in-running trouble in the Irish Oaks last month and steps back in grade. She defeated a now 102-rated filly when landing her maiden before following up in Listed company in June and ran a fine race in the Oaks here, with that form boosted by the runner-up subsequently winning the Yorkshire Oaks. Also rated 104, Tarawa is ideally suited by conditions and this Listed winner looks sure to run well. Wingspan defeated a subsequent scorer when landing a Gowran Listed race but this is slightly stronger.

The one who appeals most is HANALIA, who performed with plenty of credit upped to 1½m in the Irish Oaks here last month and she may well have more to offer now dropping back in class and trip. The unexposed and very well-bred Wingspan should also have better days ahead and she rates the main danger on the back of her recent listed success at Gowran. Uluru, who went close in a French Group 3 last time, and Tarawa are others to consider.

15:35 Sandown Group 3 (Class 1) 7f Race Class Flow

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

The form of MATAURI BAY's debut victory over 7f at Leicester was given a timely boost when the runner-up finished an excellent second in a hot maiden at York last week and, having already shown his aptitude for a stiff finish on a testing track, this son of Lope De Vega might have too much in his locker for these rivals. Field Of Gold looks the main danger to the selection on the back of an impressive victory over 7f at Newmarket last month, while Salisbury debut winner Royal Playwright is also considered.

The Gosden stable's good record in this Group 3 contest swings the vote the way of FIELD OF GOLD over Matauri Bay, with both impressing when landing maiden/novice wins last time. Royal Playwright also looked useful when scoring on his debut and is next on the list.

Some promising colts lock horns in a typically interesting Solario. First choice is ROYAL PLAYWRIGHT, ahead of Field Of Gold.

15:42 Beverley Stakes (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

As a daughter of Too Darn Hot, there is a lot to like about BASSADANZA on paper and she gets the vote to open her account at the first time of asking under a jockey operating at a 22 per cent strike-rate at Beverley this year. Related to numerous winners and a relatively costly sales purchase at 150,000gns, Fool Again is another newcomer to note, while Stiorra looks best of those with experience, despite not showing much on debut at Newbury.

The betting can help sort out these out, with FOOL AGAIN preferred over Star Cast before market clues.

The absence of Saqqara Sands appears to open the door for the newcomers and BASSADANZA gets the vote.

15:50 Chester Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

CAPO VATICANO has bags of pace, but spoilt her chances with a slow start at Newmarket on her handicap debut. Andrew Balding's unexposed filly will know more today and is taken to exploit a favourable draw if quickly away. Call Glory reverts to the minimum trip with a shout off his current handicap mark, while Balon D'or may improve for the addition of blinkers and is preferred to Wolverhampton third Fair Taxes, who has an outside draw to contend with.

CALL GLORY arrives on the back of a solid showing and shouldn't be inconvenienced by the drop to 5f, so he's worth a chance to make all from the plum draw. Balon d'Or is a danger along with Make It Easy.

The Mick Appleby-trained CALL GLORY (nap) broke sharply and showed bright speed when fourth over 6f here in June, and gets the nod.

15:55 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 22f Race Class Flow

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

Tommie Beau has been in good form over both hurdles and fences, but faces a stiff test as he drops in trip and runs off 10lb higher than his most recent success in this discipline. With that in mind, LALLYGAG makes more appeal. Paul Nicholls' seven-year-old kept on well to score over 2m4f at Worcester most recently, making amends for running out when travelling well here prior to that. Hell Red and Clearance complete the shortlist.

First-time cheekpieces helped LALLYGAG regain the winning thread at Worcester last month and a subsequent 5 lb rise won't prevent a very bold follow-up bid. Tommie Beau is about as hardy as they come and he won't go down without a fight back over hurdles, with Clearance another to consider up in trip.

With useful 3lb claimer Freddie Gingell enlisted, LALLYGAG might overcome a 5lb rise for last month's hard-fought Worcester win.

16:00 Curragh Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Top-weight GIRL LIKE YOU should be able to follow up her recent win at this track. Although only getting up late to go in by half a length on that occasion, the Joseph O'Brien-trained filly looked to have a bit in hand. Stepping up an additional furlong now should also enable her to improve sufficiently to overcome an 8lb rise. Nyman, who finished fifth in that aforementioned contest, is entitled to get much closer at the revised weights. The Earthlight colt had run well over 7f on his previous start, so is another who should appreciate the longer trip. Sweet Chariot has to be respected off a mark of 74, with blinkers fitted for the first time. Headgear can often bring about significant improvement in some of the stable lesser lights.

Course winner GIRL LIKE YOU rates the pick of the weights and with this longer trip also a positive she looks the way to go. Aidan O'Brien's handicap debutante Sweet Chariot rates the main danger, with recent Killarney scorer Sunriseontheboyne also in the mix.

A wide-open contest with pros and cons for the majority of the field, but it's probably worth taking a chance on KING THISTLE

16:10 Sandown Maiden (Class 2) 7f Race Class Flow

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

ROCKIN' THE BOAT fared best of those ridden off the pace when finishing an excellent third over 7f at Newmarket on her debut earlier this month and, with the likelihood of improvement to come, she edges preference. Flight was last seen finishing runner-up behind a smart sort over that same track and trip recently and she should be thereabouts with a repeat of that effort. Of the newcomers, Bayenah appeals most.

The Newmarket maiden in which ROCKIN' THE BOAT was a promising third looked like a warm race and the Acclamation filly is pretty appealing here with William Buick booked and improvement on the way. Flight is likely to make a bold bid to make it third time lucky having found just one too good in each of her two starts at top tracks. She is the clear main danger ahead of likely-looking newcomers Bayenah and Sea To Sky.

Flight is top rated but ROCKIN' THE BOAT ran on nicely for 3rd from out the back at Newmarket. Bayenah is one of the newcomers.

Proven winner but not in the best of form and may appreciate further these days.

16:15 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

C&D winner Hellavapace returned from a layoff with a good second over C&D off 1lb lower recently and she has a good chance to go one better. However, a strike-rate of 2-46 tempers enthusiasm and preference is for fellow track-and-trip scorer EIGHT MILE. George Scott's four-year-old won off a 5lb higher mark at Yarmouth last summer and has slipped back to a very workable figure. Luna Magic also has winning form here and she has tumbled down the ratings this year.

It might be worth taking a chance on RABINAL, who has gained both British wins at this venue and having not been seen to best effect last time, has been dropped a further 2 lb. Hellavapace is probably the solid one here, while veteran Luna Magic is a regular in these amateur contests.

A few of these need to rebound from modest runs but not HELLAVAPACE who is pretty reliable despite her modest strike-rate.

16:20 Beverley Maiden (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

AMPHIUS lost little in defeat when runner-up behind a useful type on his handicap debut over a mile at Kempton and this looks to be a good opportunity for the so-far consistent son of Kingman to gain a breakthrough victory now returned to maiden company. Bamburgh shaped with plenty of promise when third at Salisbury and he must enter calculations with the promise of more to come. Cable Beach looks the pick of the remainder, but he will need to find significant improvement if he is to land the gold medal.

This represents a golden opportunity for AMPHIUS to open his account. The Kingman colt has made the frame on each of his four starts, most recently finding just one too good on his handicap debut at Kempton, and this drop to 7f will be no bad thing on this stiffer track. Bamburgh made a promising start to his career at Salisbury and is the clear pick for forecast purposes ahead of Cable Beach.

Bamburgh is respected after a pleasing debut at Salisbury but AMPHIUS sets quite a high standard and can get off the mark.

16:25 Chester Stakes (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

AVIATION TIME found the competition too hot at Ascot in a Group 3 sprint won by the useful Simmering. This looks more her level and Richard Hughes' inmate can make the most of the weight conceded by Teej A, who is penalised for winning the Woodcote Stakes at Epsom in May, but can still make her presence felt. Adrestia failed to recover from a poor start in Listed company at Newbury, though she remains unexposed over 6f, while It Ain't Two is another burdened with a penalty.

Despite being sent off at long odds, RANEENN created a very favourable impression when making a winning debut at Yarmouth 3 weeks ago and while the bare form needs improving on to beat a few of these, that looks firmly on the cards. Assuming Adrestia breaks cleanly this time, she's a huge threat.

Preference is for CRESSIDA WILDES who stayed on strongly for fifth in a 5f Listed race at Newbury and now goes back up in trip.

Pulled up over hurdles last month (something amiss) but can feature here if all is well.

16:30 Newton Abbot Handicap Chase (Class 4) 21f  Race Class Flow

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

GET UP MUSH has made good progress since undergoing wind surgery and switching to fences, and assuming he transfers the sort of form that has seen him win two of his three recent starts at Uttoxeter to this venue, another bold showing is likely off a mark that remains competitive. Kauto The King was a respectable second over C&D last week and can go well again if building on that. Begin The Luck wasn't far behind him in third that day and is dangerous to underestimate.

This is best left to GET UP MUSH, who is 2-3 over fences and a 3 lb rise for his latest success at Uttoxeter almost certainly underestimates him. Kauto The King and Begin The Luck were second and third respectively over C&D recently and are taken to fill the places once again.

It's hard to get away from low-mileage 6yo GET UP MUSH who did very well to win at Uttoxeter last month and is only 3lb higher here.

16:35 Curragh Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Having potentially had a number of options in this race, it is surely significant that Colin Keane has remained loyal to STATE ACTOR. The Bill Farrell-trained gelding won his maiden over C&D in May, before following up on his handicap debut a month later. Somewhat unlucky in running when only fourth here on his latest start, the four-year-old remains open to further improvement. Blues Emperor is 5lb lower than when just touched off in this race last year. With Wesley Joyce once again in the saddle, the Johnny Murtagh-trained gelding has leading claims of going one better. No More Porter, who seldom runs a bad race at this track, is another with a live chance from the foot of the weights.

This has likely been the target for BLUES EMPEROR, who went close in this last year off 5 lb higher under this rider. Sea Eagle is potentially still on a good mark under a penalty after his easy success at Roscommon, while Vera's Secret is a must for the shortlist after her impressive handicap debut win over this C&D 6 weeks ago.

The selection is VERA'S SECRET(nap), so impressive on her handicap debut here last month and could easily be good enough

14/1(-133%)
(10) Corriamo 14/1, Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 9-runner nursery (2/1) at Leicester (7f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Open to further improvement, particularly if he can break on terms, so one to consider.
Produced a strong finish at Leicester (nursery debut) last time; may improve further.

(8) Imperial Trooper 11/4, Belardo gelding who boasts a steadily progressive profile and opened his account with something to spare in a 4-runner novice at Ffos Las 17 days ago. Can do better still, so likely to feature.
Form figures of 321 reflect his steady progress; could do well in nurseries; shortlisted.

(6) Art Market 10/3, Steadily progressive Calyx colt who won his first two starts in nurseries then shaped better than the result when sixth of 17 in a competitive event at York 9 days ago. Looks a definite player in a less-competitive environment.
Respectable sixth at York when attempting to take nursery record to 3-3; remains in form.

Defied a penalty in Lingfield novice event three weeks ago; improving filly; respected.

Sprinting form gives mixed messages with regard to this new trip; below par last time.

Fortunate to hold on at Newmarket last time, with runner-up Jet Packer looking unlucky.

Jet Packer

Unlucky second to Pappa Louis at Newmarket last time; possibilities granted better fortune.

16:45 Sandown Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Love Is The Law defied her penalty with a convincing success in a novice stakes at Lingfield earlier in the month and she should make a bold bid to complete the hat-trick on her nursery debut. However, IMPERIAL TROOPER looks the way to go. Ed Walker's gelding got off the mark in heavy conditions at Ffos Las on his latest outing and has improved with his each of his three starts to date. With William Buick booked on his nursery bow, he gets the nod. Jet Packer and Pappa Louis are others to note.

LOVE IS THE LAW has a positive profile and was going away at the finish when landing a double at Lingfield three weeks ago, so she's fancied to complete the hat-trick on handicap debut. Art Market can get back on the up having not been seen to best effect at York and there's hope for Imperial Trooper.

Preference is for NEW BOMBAY who won in great style on his last turf start. Imperial Trooper is second choice.

16:50 Lingfield Stakes (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

This looks a good opportunity for WHEELS OF FIRE to get off the mark. The Richard Hannon-trained colt has shown ability in three starts to date, most notably when finishing third over 6f at Goodwood and Newmarket, and he sets the standard as he drops to the minimum trip for his Polytrack debut. Nad Alshiba Snow began with two good efforts over 5f at Beverley, before failing to land a blow in better 6f events, and she looks the biggest threat now dropped back in class and distance. Toolatetonegotiate can prove best of the rest.

The big 2 on form, WHEELS OF FIRE and Nad Alshiba Snow both drop back from 6f, with the former just preferred given his profile is the more appealing of the pair. Toolatetonegotiate looks all speed and will attempt to make use of her inside draw.

Unless Nad Alshiba Snow can tap back into her initial promise, this should be plain sailing for WHEELS OF FIRE.

16:55 Beverley Handicap (Class 4) 8f  Race Class Flow

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

LIGHT SPEED defied a wide draw when scoring with something in hand at Chester and another bold bid is forecast. A 4lb higher rating for that fourth career victory looks more than workable for Gemma Tutty's gelding, with the biggest threat expected to be mounted by Zapphire. The four-year-old arrives on the back of several creditable efforts in defeat and she should be in the thick of the action once more. Arkenstaar and Power Of Gold are also noted.

LIGHT SPEED showed his first form for this yard when forging clear to score at Chester last month and he remains well treated on his best efforts, so he gets the nod over the in-form Zozimus, with Zapphire also on the shortlist.

Several possibles, including last year's 1-2 Park Street and Zozimus, but LIGHT SPEED is preferred on the back of a Chester win.

17:00 Chester Handicap (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Garfield Shadow prevailed in a bunch finish of a class 2 event over track and trip last month and it would be no surprise to see him go close off only 2lb higher. However, he might come out second best to WEN MOON, who performed with credit in a valuable handicap at York on his latest outing. He made the frame on each of his three previous starts and Ben Haslam's four-year-old is now 2lb lower than his last winning mark. The in-form and versatile Paws For Thought is another to note.

GARFIELD SHADOW can make it 3-3 over C&D if stall 8 doesn't prove an issue. Paws For Thought is another who has been in good form here, while Wen Moon might pop up again soon.

Last month's C&D scorer Garfield Shadow is respected but preference is for WEN MOON, better than the result at York last time.

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

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

ZHANG FEI has been kept ticking over with a couple of respectable efforts on the Flat since his wide-margin success over C&D last month and is readily suggested as the one to be with, despite the handicapper putting him up 10lb for that easy win. This is a deeper race, however, and closely-matched pair Good Impression and Coup De Gold, as well as Polling Day, can make it a good test for the selection. Afta Party also knows how to win over hurdles and is another to consider.

PAK ARMY shaped well when third over 19f at Fontwell last time and this keen-going C&D scorer can resume winning ways now back in trip. Zhang Fei remains unexposed in this sphere and arrives fit from the Flat so rates a big threat. In-form pair Coup de Gold and Polling Day also need factoring into this open handicap.

Usefl Flat racer POLLING DAY can build upon his placed form in maiden hurdles on this handicap hurdle debut.

17:10 Curragh Handicap 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Stepping back up to 6f could help the Paul Flynn-trained RAPPELL regain the winning thread. Twice successful over this distance, the three-year-old stayed on strongly close home last time when third over 5f at Cork. With more of an emphasis on stamina now, the Soldier's Call gelding should be in his element. Well drawn close to the favoured stands rail, he has much to recommend him. Just touched off over C&D recently, Secret Magician holds every chance of going one better. Wayne Hassett, who is leading the apprentice title race, is a definite plus in a race of this nature. Goldmoyne, who made most when winning over 7f here last time, shouldn't be too inconvenienced by dropping back a furlong. He, too, has to be a leading contender in an open affair.

Plenty to consider with SECRET MAGICIAN taken to continue the good work with the return to 7f likely to be in his favour. Never Cry Never may progress further for his new yard so is a threat, along with Dynamic Force.

Preference is for RAPPELL, in fine form this season and will appreciate coming back up to 6f after a good run over 5f at Cork

17:20 Sandown Handicap (Class 4) 5f  Race Class Flow

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

INGRA TOR finished midfield in a deeper contest than this at Newcastle earlier in the month and has been dropped 1lb for that performance. Jack Channon's five-year-old now competes off his last winning mark on his return to turf and that could see him back on the scoresheet. Spring Bloom justified favouritism to complete a Newmarket double over 6f last time and holds an obvious chance off a 3lb higher mark, while Miss Show Off warrants a market check on her seasonal/handicap debut.

An ultra-competitive finale and it could be worth taking a chance on REBEL PATH, who has been finding his way for his current yard but the fitting of headgear signals intent along with the booking of the experienced Silvestre De Sousa. Spring Bloom arrives on a hat-trick, but Robert Eddery's 7-y-o may have to settle for silver this time, with recent winner Good Earth and Lil Guff another couple worth mentioning, too.

The hat-trick seeking SPRING BLOOM can go one better than in the corresponding race last year. Good Earth is feared most.

17:25 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Alpine Girl initiated a 6f double with a victory on the turf here in June and also has a C&D victory to her name, but the handicapper may have her measure now and ASINARA appears better treated. Having held an entry in the 1000 Guineas, the Ffos Las maiden winner may not have progressed as expected but she went close off this mark over 6f at Newmarket last time and looks weighted to land an event of this nature. American Fashion only weakened late on when blazing a trail over 6f at Kempton on her handicap debut, so she looks a contender now dropped in trip and 1lb in the handicap.

The free-going ASINARA wasn't beaten far at Newmarket last time and remains of interest with the drop to 5f likely to suit. American Fashion is another who is likely to be suited by the drop to the minimum trip, while Alpine Girl shaped as if still in good form at Chepstow.

This looks sure to be strongly run and it could set up ideally for ALPINE GIRL (nap) who was found out by slow ground last time.

17:30 Beverley Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

The hat-trick seeking Bay Dream Believer must enter calculations after proving triumphant at Leicester and Ripon earlier this month. Mark Walford's mare is sure to give another good account of herself off a 3lb higher rating, but MR JETMAN shades the verdict. The son of Territories would have undoubtedly finished closer than third at Ripon on Tuesday had he not been impeded in the closing stages and compensation could be imminent. Whatwouldyouknow may fare best of the remainder.

MR JETMAN hasn't been seen to best effect on his last two starts and, while this race comes on the back of a quick turnaround, he's worth a chance to open his account for the season. Bay Dream Believer, who got the better of the selection a fortnight ago, is an obvious danger, while a return to form is expected from This Years Love.

While WHATWOULDYOUKNOW hasn't been a regular winner on turf, he has been running with credit this summer and might prove the answer.

17:35 Chester Handicap (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Zimmerman got his head back in front when scoring by half a length at York last time and a 4lb rise may not prevent him from going in again. However, a chance can be taken on SPIRIT MIXER, who is a previous course winner and produced a fair display to finish a close-up fourth at Ascot two starts ago, prior to his well-held eighth at York. If the son of Frankel can run to the level of his penultimate start, then he ought to go close off a 1lb lower rating. Sea Grey completes the shortlist.

DREAMS ADOZEN has struggled for consistency since scoring here in June but his penultimate run when in cheekpieces was one of her better efforts so she's worth chancing back in that headgear here at the expense of Sea Grey, who can have a line put through his course hat-trick attempt earlier in the month. Recent Ripon scorer Tailorman and Spirit Mixer, who has his sights lowered considerably, can do battle for third.

Rich Belief's win over C&D was on soft ground and SEA GREY looks a better fit for today's likely conditions.

17:40 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

ORBITAL returned to winning ways over this trip at Lingfield last month and the progressive daughter of Pivotal merits the utmost respect off just a 4lb higher mark here. Delta Legend hit the crossbar over C&D last time and could prove to be the main threat to the selection, although Persian Phoenix and Baroque Buoy are others who are capable of going very well.

PERSIAN PHOENIX has been knocking on the door and can get his head back in front. Orbital and Baroque Buoy may give Charlie Johnston's charge most to do in that order.

Top of the list is BAROQUE BUOY, who was placed behind two well-handicapped rivals over 1m last month and is unexposed over 1m2f.

17:45 Curragh Stakes 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Off a mark that puts him 10lb clear on official ratings, PHOENIX COWBOY should prove hard to beat in this finale. A smart handicapper on the Flat for Ger Lyons, the seven-year-old has run well over hurdles since joining current connections. While he would ideally prefer more of a stamina test, the son of Gleneagles might just get away with it if they go a decent gallop. The Gordon Elliott-trained By Your Side would be a very appropriate winner for his young pilot. Successful over this trip at Tramore last time, the gelding is sure to have been lined up for this particular race. Winning hurdler Icare Desbois has yet to race on the Flat but, representing the Willie Mullins yard, he has to be a live hope.

It looks a good opportunity for recent Tramore winner BY YOUR SIDE to return to emotional scenes in the hands of Paddy Smullen

17:55 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

FEARLESS BAY bounced back to form with a comfortable triumph at Kempton and a 3lb rise for that could prove lenient as he looks to gain a sixth success on the all-weather. A progressive sort throughout this season since joining Jack Jones, Beautiful Crown is of interest on the step up in trip, while Saint Riquier has plenty to build on after a strong placed effort over 1m2f at Sandown earlier in the month.

BEAUTIFUL CROWN has thrived for his new yard this summer and can add another win to his tally. Sonnerie Power wasn't beaten far off his reduced mark at Kempton so is respected, while Lingfield is the only AW track Fearless Bay (making debut here) has yet to win on having scored at Kempton last time.

Fearless Bay looks set to go well but SAINT RIQUIER can emerge on top if a promising reappearance has not taken anything out of him.

18:10 Chelmsford Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

PINK DIESEL displayed plenty of promise when filling third place on her debut over 7f at Newmarket last week and the daughter of Showcasing could be hard to beat with the benefit of that experience. Sahara Dancer is an obvious threat having scored on her racecourse bow at Chepstow, although a 7lb penalty for that success is a slight concern. Solano Avenue is another with valid form claims.

Although PINK DIESEL didn't obviously shape as if she'd benefit from a drop to 6f when third on her 7f Newmarket debut last week this race lacks depth so she might get away with it, particularly as likely main danger Sahara Dancer has to concede her 9 lb. Challenge Anneka may prove best of the remainder.

Pink Diesel made a good start over 7f at Newmarket but SAHARA DANCER looks a better option over this trip.

18:25 Lingfield Stakes (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

An eyecatcher when running on from off pace to force a dead-heat for third behind the reopposing Capallcliste (second) over C&D, POLES APART must hold every chance of overturning that form on 3lb better terms. The son of Awtaad can get off the mark at the eighth time of asking, with Neptune Legend and Comedian Leader others to consider, for place purposes at least.

CAPALLCLISTE has been knocking pretty loudly on the door in C&D handicaps for this rider and the drop to classified company may enable him to shed his maiden status. Poles Apart and Guildford are a couple of potential threats given they are unexposed 3-y-os.

With positives thin on the ground, the fact that POLES APART reacted positively to headgear in a handicap here last time bodes well.

18:40 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

SEE YOU TONIGHT was only beaten two lengths into fourth at Kempton 11 days ago and a reproduction of that performance would give her a big chance here off a 2lb lower mark. Miss Bella Brand has been off the track since making the frame at Nottingham in May, but she should not be discounted. Happy Tears and Daytona Lady complete the shortlist.

SEE YOU TONIGHT rates the pick of these weights so is fancied to resume winning ways at the chief expense of C&D scorer Daytona Lady who didn't enjoy the rub of the green when seventh at Southwell last time out. Fellow C&D winner Miss Bella Brand also needs considering after a break.

Daytona Lady and MISS BELLA BRAND run well at this track and they can fight this out.

18:55 Lingfield Stakes (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Doves Of Peace won at Chelmsford on his penultimate start, with FAI FAI back in third. However, the latter caught the eye on his subsequent C&D outing when fourth in handicap company last week and a repeat of that display might see the five-year-old come out on top. Edergole's Gift did well to finish second at Brighton after being badly hampered at the start and Conrad Allen's filly completes the shortlist.

Modest stuff but at least FAI FAI has strung together a few decent performances and he could be the way to go. Doves of Peace and Edergole's Gift are others to consider.

Although below par last time, DOVES OF PEACE is at least a recent winner and that breakthrough success had been coming.

19:10 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Son Of Wind made every yard of the running over C&D earlier in the month when improving from his nursery debut at Ffos Las. The handicapper reacted with an 11lb rise, which does make life tougher, so the vote goes to YAKFEEK. Third at Windsor on his latest start, Richard Hannon's colt is entitled to step forward from that display off what appears to be a fair opening mark. Marrakesh Express and Havana Blast are both likely to be competitive.

A trappy nursery but HAVANA BLAST rates the pick at these weights so edges the vote ahead of commanding C&D victor Son of Wind, who seems sure to go well again despite an 11 lb rise. Yakfeek and Twilight Ballet appeal as the pick of the rest.

Son Of Wind is respected despite the 11lb rise but OAKLEY BOY can gain compensation for a luckless run on his latest AW start.

19:25 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

My Awele gained a first career victory at Southwell on Monday and she has to enter calculations turned out under a 6lb penalty. However, the consistent KURIMU may have too much for the opposition being only 2lb higher than when beaten a head at Yarmouth on her latest start. Katie G appeals most of the remainder having returned to winning ways at Southwell last time.

MY AWELE was nicely on top at Southwell on Monday so a 6 lb penalty may not prevent her following up. Kurimu has held her form well this summer and is second choice ahead of Katie G.

My Awele may progress again but the in-form KURIMU could be the better bet with Joe Leavy taking 5lb off her back.

19:40 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 13f Race Class Flow

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

Keen Interest has been kept busy in recent weeks, backing up a Yarmouth success with a pair of placed efforts. He commands plenty of respect but AMONGST THE STARS, who finished fourth on her handicap bow in the aforementioned contest, shaped with enough promise to suggest that further improvement may well be on the cards, especially stepping up in trip off a 2lb lower mark. Thunder Sparks is another to consider based on her second at Lingfield.

AMONGST THE STARS looks to have more to offer now her stamina is drawn out so rates a confident choice to get off the mark. Thunder Sparks could emerge as the main danger in her bid for a breakthrough victory, with Keen Interest not ruled out either if on song again.

Having rallied for fourth over 11.4f on this month's handicap debut at Yarmouth, AMONGST THE STARS earns the vote now up again in trip.

20:10 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

This can go the way of AL WASEELA, who is likely to have plenty more improvement to come after a career-best effort when fourth on her nursery bow at Leicester. A mark of 51 still looks manageable and she may have too much for Ashen Glow, who has the potential to progress for going up in trip, as well as Prada On Parole, who was a respectable fourth here over 5f last time out.

The William Haggas-trained AL WASEELA shaped quite well on her first attempt in nursery company at Leicester and gets the vote. Clipsham Noble and Telford are interesting nursery newcomers and may provide the main opposition, particularly if the betting vibes are strong. Montbeliarde would rate a big threat to all if turning out after/instead of Salisbury on Friday.

The suggestion is interesting handicap debutante TELFORD, ahead of Prada On Parole.

20:40 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

A winner over C&D in April, FREETODREAM bounced back to form with a highly encouraging second at Brighton and a 2lb rise for that performance could prove lenient as he looks to gain a fourth career success. That may be at the main expense of B Associates, who scored on his first start for new connections at Yarmouth last Sunday. Narrowly denied over C&D last time out, Heerathetrack is another to consider, as is Outreach.

B ASSOCIATES was quick to make his mark for the excellent James Owen team at Yarmouth and can defy a penalty at the chief expense of the handily-weighted C&D scorer Heerathetrack. In-form pair Freetodream and Outreach can also make their presence felt in this open handicap.

It looks as if B ASSOCIATES (nap) is another who has been turned around by James Owen, so a 5lb penalty may well not stop him.

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.
