14:00 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 16f Race Class Flow

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

DEVIZES had Anisoptera (third) behind when taking the silver medal home at Kempton last month and he is fancied to confirm that form, despite being 1lb worse off this time around. Pat Phelan's eight-year-old has struck four times at this course and looks the one to beat. Anisoptera remains on a workable mark and has to be respected while, of the rest, Sir Joseph Swan makes the most appeal.

C&D regular ANISOPTERA fared best of those held up when third at Kempton, a performance suggesting she's in excellent heart. That cannot be said about many in this so she gets the verdict in favour of Devizes and Gift of Raaj.

A tricky race. The selection, ANISOPTERA, is at least competitively treated and has plenty of form on this surface and over this trip.

Haliphon

7.5
15/2(+6%)
(2) Haliphon 15/2, Ran one of this season's better races when runner-up at Epsom in July but he's ran disappointingly both starts since, latterly when eighth of 11 in handicap at Catterick (12.1f) 17 days ago. Needs to bounce back.
Runner-up at Epsom at beginning of July but well beaten the next twice.

Atalanta Breeze

3.5
7/2(+0%)
(5) Atalanta Breeze 7/2, Last win came back on sole start in 2022 but having fallen in weights, almost took advantage at Ffos Las (14f) on penultimate start last month. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (15.7f) 9 days ago and not discounted back down in trip.
Runner-up at Ffos Las last month and fair fourth on AW since; on the shortlist.

3rd (1) Just An Hour (5/2 +17%)
Just An Hour

2.5
5/2(+17%)
(1) Just An Hour 5/2, Yet to get his head in front for present yard but his mark has steadily edged down and he again ran creditably when fourth of 11 in handicap at Catterick (12.1f, firm, 9/1) 17 days ago. One to bear in mind with cheekpieces retained.
Ran pretty well when fourth at Catterick last time and he's one to consider.

4th (6) Sameem (12/1 -71%)
Sameem

12
12/1(-71%)
(6) Sameem 12/1, Landed Ripon Ladies Derby for second consecutive season in June prior to a good second at Epsom (12f) a month later. Went off too hard next time and never involved from his position back at first-named venue 10 days ago. Could bounce back.
Won at Ripon in June but below par the last twice and needs to get back on track.

5th (7) Shield Of Honour (15/2 -50%)
Shield Of Honour

7.5
15/2(-50%)
(7) Shield Of Honour 15/2, Stepped up on opening efforts for this yard when landing 9-runner classified event at Yarmouth (11.5f) in July. Similar form when fourth of 11 in handicap at Ripon (10.9f) 10 days ago and not discounted back up in trip.
Made all in Yarmouth classified two starts ago and could be in the mix.
4
6th (4) Fiddlers Green (11/4 +31%)
Fiddlers Green

2.75
11/4(+31%)
(4) Fiddlers Green 11/4, Has already enjoyed a productive campaign, gaining third victory since February at Doncaster (11.9f, soft) in April. Has found things tougher subsequently but the assessor has eased his grip a little and dangerous to discount if allowed his own way on the front end under Brodie Hampson.
Won two in a row in April; mixed form since but can play leading role if at his best.
8
7th (8) Rayena (25/1 -79%)
Rayena

25
25/1(-79%)
(8) Rayena 25/1, Harry Angel filly who has yet to win in 15 attempts and again ran to only a poor level when fifth of 11 in handicap at Ripon (10.9f, good to firm) 10 days ago. More needed if she's to break her duck here.
Went close under Lois Teal at Ripon in June but has made no impact since and is now 0-15.

8th (3) Just The Man (125/1 -681%)
Just The Man

125
125/1(-681%)
(3) Just The Man 125/1, Fair handicap hurdler but well held having a rare start in this sphere at Kempton in January and nearer last than first in pair of hurdle outings 6 months apart since. Has it to prove here with a first-time tongue strap fitted.
Some fair hurdle form in 2023 but he's struggled on his three outings this year.

14:10 Haydock Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Alice Tregoning has got acquainted with ATALANTA BREEZE on her last three appearances, with a Ffos Las second last month a strong hint that the eight-year-old mare retains plenty of enthusiasm for the game. Two miles at Lingfield subsequently probably stretched her but her fourth-place wasn't bad and she is preferred to Shield Of Honour, who claimed a classified event at Yarmouth prior to a decent Ripon effort. Just An Hour is working his way back into form and has dropped to a nice mark.

JUST AN HOUR again ran well from his steadily easing mark when fourth at Catterick last month and he can open his account for this yard. Atalanta Breeze and Fiddlers Green may emerge as the most potent threats.

Brodie Hampson won this last year and the return to a forecast slower surface is a likely plus for her mount FIDDLERS GREEN.

Thereabouts in 7f and 6f handicaps here but bled from the nose on last two starts; risky.

14:30 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Marcus filled the runner-up spot in a classified event at Chelmsford last week and has to be respected now back in the handicap ranks with David Egan booked. However, the vote goes to KOHANA GIRL, who made the frame at Yarmouth in July and beat Marcus (fourth) when finishing third on the turf course here three starts ago. The daughter of Sioux Nation may only need to run to that level of form in order to shed her maiden tag. Piperstown completes the shortlist.

PIPERSTOWN still looked a work in progress when a very good third at Southwell last time so is fancied to build on it and get off the mark. Marcus also has the form to play a big part and is next on the list ahead of Kohana Girl.

Marcus and Kohana Girl are place candidates but PIPERSTOWN can cope with the return to 5f after running well over 6f last time.

14:40 Haydock Maiden (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

WE DARE TO DREAM and Boston Run bring identical form figures to the table, but David O'Meara's colt has chased home a couple of youngsters who have gone on to acquit themselves well at a high level so may be the way to go. That's not to say Boston Run can't step forward from his C&D and Hamilton seconds, although Sir Peter Fossick may be a bigger threat after filling the runner-up spot at Epsom before being undone by a wide draw at Glorious Goodwood. Better was expected of Captain Harry at Chester, but he can't be written off yet.

WE DARE TO DREAM has plenty of winners in his pedigree and looked to have lots of ability when second at Ripon last month, so he gets the nod with improvement on the cards. Boston Run is a player and Captain Harry should also build on his initial outing.

James Fanshawe's 2yos are in tremendous form and HARRYELLA could be an entirely different proposition on this second start.

15:00 Lingfield Maiden (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

ZARIELA boasts by far the most experience in this contest and wasn't disgraced in third in a handicap at Newmarket on her latest outing. The daughter of Eqtidaar needs to overcome her wide draw but if Ben Sanderson can find a nice position, she could be the one to beat. Wadacre Giorgio is an interesting newcomer to keep an eye on and may improve as he steps up in trip, but this looks a good starting point and he warrants a market check. Adore You is another to note.

ZARIELA has some fair form to her name so looks the way to go here unless one of the newcomers proves above average. James Tate's Mauchline appeals most, ahead of Charlie Johnston's Wadacre Giorgio.

The market should prove informative but WADACRE GIORGIO is suggested, with this trip looking a good starting point.

(8) Pietro 10/3, Career best when winning 8-runner nursery at Epsom (7f, good to firm, 4/1) 20 days ago. Showed a good attitude there and may do better still, so merits strong consideration.
Won at Epsom last month on second nursery start and he holds strong claims up 5lb.

15:10 Haydock Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Things didn't go to plan for GREEN ICON when sent off a warm favourite for his Nottingham introduction, but he made no mistake next time at Chelmsford. The runner-up has gone one better since to give the form a boost and Owen Burrows' colt can take full advantage of what might be a lenient opening figure. Chuti Manika is not as obviously well treated, but also made it second-time lucky at Catterick and has to be respected. Feeraas, who cost 150,000gns as a yearling, has shown ability and has been gelded ahead of his nursery bow.

GREEN ICON left his debut form behind when getting off the mark at Chelmsford a month ago and the form has been boosted by the runner-up, so he's fancied to prove himself better than an opening mark of 74. Chuti Manika fits a similar mould and deserves respect, while there's plenty to like about Pietro's profile also.

Preference is for PIETRO, who won a nursery at Epsom three weeks ago and shaped as though he has more to offer.

15:30 Lingfield Maiden (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Gilet sets the standard and having finished runner-up in two of his three previous starts, may find improvement now connections opt to try him in cheekpieces. However, THE HARE RAIL wasn't beaten too far in a deeper-looking maiden at Salisbury and, with that run likely to have put an edge on the son of Dark Angel, he shades preference based on scope for progression. Chester Arms and On The Never are notable debutants to monitor closely in the betting.

GILET continued his theme of race-by-race progress when second at Chelmsford 3 weeks ago and a repeat of that form may enable him to go one place better. The Hare Rail's debut was full of promise so he's a threat, with Dark Rosa a potential improver given she'll know more this time.

The sharper 6f may not be ideal for either The Hare Rail or Dark Rosa and this looks good for GILET despite the outside stall.

15:40 Haydock Stakes (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow

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

CALEDONIAN showed marked improvement from first to second start when keeping on in second over 7f at Yarmouth last month, and stepping up to a mile on this occasion could be the making of him. King Casper has a 4lb penalty to overcome for scoring comfortably here last time out, while costly purchase Silver Peak was green when hanging left on debut at Kempton. Aegean Sea has the form to get involved too.

SILVER PEAK, a 7-figure buy, was held back by inexperience on his debut at Kempton just over a fortnight ago but still pulled clear of the rest and seems sure to do better, so he's taken to make his second start a winning one. King Casper impressed when scoring here last month and is highly respected under a penalty, while Aegean Sea could yet build on his promising debut.

Charlie Appleby has won the last three runnings and 1,250,000euros Dubawi colt SILVER PEAK can build on his recent debut fourth.

16:00 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

With the likes of Coolagh Magic and Poetic Jack struggling for consistency, there are grounds for giving DEQUINTO another chance in his bid to break his duck, despite this being his 15th attempt. The Tony Carroll-trained gelding faced an impossible task against a 74-rated rival in a restricted maiden at Brighton latest, but fared best of the rest and truly won't need to raise his game by much to get off the mark here.

Having dropped a long way in the weights, COOLAGH MAGIC returned to form when second at a big price over C&D a fortnight ago and as a result, he now looks ready to cash in. Poetic Jack and Dequinto head the opposition.

A dual course winner, COOLAGH MAGIC bounced back to form over C&D a fortnight ago and is preferred to Poetic Jack.

16:05 Newbury Maiden (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

A full field of unraced fillies here makes the formbook obsolete and it may pay to side with George Boughey's ORANGE SKY, a 330,000gns daughter of No Nay Never representing a stable with a 20 per cent strike-rate with their two-year-olds on turf this year. Suhub looks bred for the trip as a daughter of Mohaather out of a dual Group 1 winner and she is worthy of a market watch. Split Silk and Gigi Bliss are others to consider in a race that may throw up plenty of future winners.

Plenty of the top yards represented in this newcomers' maiden and the betting will be revealing, with the fantastically bred SUHUB, Gigi Bliss (who holds some big-race entries) and Rikissa three in particular to warrant serious respect before market clues.

The most striking differentiating factor among these newcomers seems to be the Group 2 and Group 1 entries held by GIGI BLISS.

16:10 Clonmel Maiden 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

FIANNA showed promise on debut last month and while she drops in distance, should progress and a drier surface will suit. A half-sister to three winners, she was claimer-ridden at Roscommon and while well enough held, there were some useful formlines in that race. Next Trick, a half-sister to Group 1 Prix de Royallieu winner Sea Silk Road, has some form at this level but while reasonably dependable, is vulnerable to progressive types. Improvista was reported to be clinically abnormal when weakening rapidly in June and reappears in first-time cheekpieces. My Goodness, out of an unraced half-sister to two Group 1 winners, makes a belated debut.

An open-looking fillies maiden and it could be worth taking a chance on ELANA OSARIO, who was well supported on debut at Cork last month but ultimately shaped as if the experience was needed. She can take a big step forward at the expense of Fianna, who offered something to work on when fourth at Roscommon recently and is entitled to do better. Ina Mina and Next Trick can fight out third.

IMPROVISTA looked really promising when beaten 2l two runs ago and she may bounce back from a lesser run with headgear now fitted

16:17 Haydock Stakes (Class 3) 6f  (See Speed Six0 Race Class Flow

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

DEFENCE MINISTER may have a 7lb penalty to overcome for success on debut at Newmarket last month, but he did so in taking fashion and there is likely to be plenty more improvement forthcoming from the son of Too Darn Hot. He gets the vote ahead of promising Redcar second Arabian Angel and Double Rush, who ran well on debut but was no match for a smart sort of Saeed bin Suroor's at Windsor.

DEFENCE MINISTER overcame obvious signs of inexperience and showed highly encouraging speed in the process when making a winning debut at Newmarket 3 weeks ago. Marking himself down as a useful prospect on that evidence, he can defy a penalty and make it 2-2. Fellow last-time-out scorer Dark Cloud Rising is another of interest, along with Arabian Angel, in an intriguing small-field affair.

The 210,000euros breeze-up buy DEFENCE MINISTER made a very promising start to his career when winning at Newmarket last month.

16:32 Lingfield Handicap (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

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

SURREY FIRE finished full of running when breaking his maiden here in July and is presented with a good opportunity to make a successful transition to handicap company, with the step back up to 1m4f not expected to be an issue. Expert Witness is a previous course winner who should also go well if her stamina holds out, although Optician is proven at this distance and may pose a bigger threat to the selection, despite having yet to win on Polytrack.

The one with the interesting profile here is SURREY FIRE, who showed a striking turn of foot when successful here a month ago and after just 3 runs, there should be plenty more to come from him now handicapping. Optician's strike rate on the AW is excellent so he's second choice, ahead of Aviemore.

The step back up to 1m4f should suit the lightly raced SURREY FIRE (nap). Graignes is worth a look among the likely bigger prices.

16:40 Newbury Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Mercury Day looks set for another big effort with Jim Crowley booked to ride by Conrad Allen after she came home a weakening third over further in a better race at Lingfield. She may prove the biggest danger to SO LOGICAL, who was successful in a 0-90 handicap at Newmarket in May off just 1lb lower. Although beaten three times since, she tries blinkers, which may help her back to winning ways. Queen's Reign, third to Mercury Day at Newmarket, is another to consider now dropping back in trip.

Preference is for ROSA APPLAUSE, who remains unexposed on turf and she shaped as though this stiffer test would be right up her street when third at Haydock last month. Circe, on the other hand, is dropping back in trip and will be a big threat granted a strong pace to aim at. So Logical looks the pick of the Gosden-trained duo and she is also accorded respect.

Although QUEEN'S REIGN was behind Mercury Day at Newmarket in June her Goodwood win prior to that looks solid.

16:45 Clonmel Maiden 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

GOLDEN CIRCET is officially 11lb wrong with Stariam, but is better suited to this distance than his rival. His form is mediocre, but he met some traffic on his Curragh handicap debut before finishing well. He is ideally suited by this distance and good ground. Stariam did finish second at this distance in today's opening race in 2023, but that was an ordinary contest and her recent form has been over longer distances. She is consistent and finished second to subsequent Ebor winner Magical Zoe in June, but might lack the selection's pace. Lohengrin's terrific Tipperary form was rather boosted by Wigmore Street winning Saturday's Irish Cambridgeshire, but he remains frustrating. Accwest showed just mild promise at Roscommon.

STARIAM is the clear form pick and should have little trouble opening her account. Golden Circet is the likeliest to capitalise if the selection underperforms.

This looks like an excellent chance for STARIAM after three second placings this year, one of them behind the subsequent Ebor winner

16:50 Haydock Handicap (Class 3) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Having justified strong support in the market when scoring at Doncaster last month, there is likely more to come from NAAEY. A 6lb higher rating looks far from insurmountable for the lightly-raced four-year-old and another win could be on the cards. The hat-trick seeking Elladonna has proved a different proposition since racing over 1m2f, as evidenced with victories at Nottingham and Salisbury. James Fanshawe's filly is feared most, ahead of Wisper.

NAAEY justified strong support when bolting up at Doncaster last month and with further progress on the cards, John & Thady Gosden's 4-y-o is fancied to notch career success number 3 at the expense of Elladonna, who arrives on a hat-trick but rather curiously has the hood discarded on this occasion. Warda Jamila looks the most interesting of the 3-y-os so she completes the shortlist.

The Gosden-trained NAAEY (nap) looked a lightly raced 4yo to follow when winning with something to spare at Doncaster.

16:55 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Swinging Eddie defeated Beltane at Catterick and with a return to the all-weather set to be no issue, he merits the utmost respect raised 4lb. However, the vote goes to NOT JUST YET. The Night Of Thunder gelding hasn't been in the care of Nikki Evans for long, but went agonisingly close over 6f here last month having been caught too far back. He will appreciate the extra furlong and, given that he is well treated on his Irish form, this looks a good opportunity. Port Noir is also noted.

The vote goes to ULTRAMARINE, who has been firmly knocking on the door of late and he remains 9 lb below the mark off which he hit the target at Kempton in February. Stella Hogan is the clear pick of the John O'Shea-trained pair and she gets the nod ahead of Not Just Yet and Port Noir for forecast purposes.

Grant Tuer holds a strong hand with C&D winners SURPRISE PICTURE and Swinging Eddie having plenty to recommend them.

17:05 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

CON TE PARTIRO is the only course winner in the field having struck over this trip as recently as late July and although beaten since, he only went under by a short head over the mile here and can show his appreciation for the return to 1m2f. Risen Again was beaten less than a length at Beverley and rates his biggest danger, despite top weight, while Nazalan intrigues now taking a significant step up in distance.

James Ferguson's string are in good form and RISEN AGAIN could be the way to go. Still lightly raced, he did well to finish second at Beverley 3 weeks ago having pulled hard and there remains a bigger effort in him. Con Te Partiro has thrived following the switch to handicaps and is a serious threat, with Forever Noah another to note.

Con Ti Partiro can go well back over 1m2f but ALVESTA put up a good show over C&D in July and this is her first AW run since.

17:10 Newbury Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Siegen was rated 86 after winning at Sandown but has struggled since, although dropped to 80 now, he has every chance of a much better run. Alashos is the only distance winner in the field, but has been held on both starts since that Lingfield triumph and it may pay to side with JR CLIMBS. A winner at Bath in July and a solid fourth in a class two at Ripon on his first start after being gelded, he is entitled to find this level much more to his liking.

On the back of a solid effort in a valuable auction race at Newmarket, MISS COLLADA could prove a tough nut to crack now eased in grade off a workable mark. Equalised can be expected to step up on what he's shown in three qualifying runs now venturing down the nursery route and he is feared most ahead of Candy and Alashos.

The form of CANDY's C&D second last month looks solid so he's taken to go one better.

17:15 Clonmel Handicap 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Handicap debutant LABHAOISE was beaten long distances in three maiden runs, but met some in-running traffic in June and should better her current rating. While beaten 12 lengths at Fairyhouse, that form is useful with the runner-up subsequently landing a maiden, and with the selection today returning following a mini-break and running over a longer distance, she could progress significantly. Game Phoenix also debuts in handicaps but while she showed improved form over hurdles recently and has Colin Keane's assistance, might ideally prefer slightly further. Simple Endeavour and Poppy Pimento have shown useful recent handicap form, although they are drawn quite wide.

With improvement anticipated now upped in trip for this handicap debut, LABHAOISE could be worth chancing. Indeed, she didn't shape at all badly in a 7f Fairyhouse maiden last time when doing all her best work at the finish. Finsceal Annie is in good form and, fresh from her near miss at Tipperary on Sunday (due to go up 5 lb for that), she is feared most. Bizarre Dreams and Simple Endeavour are others to consider.

Simple Endeavour and BIZARRE DREAMS are closely matched on their form from Sunday with preference for the latter having met trouble

17:20 Haydock Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

The application of first-time cheekpieces enabled a career-best performance from FREE SPEECH when she scored in ready fashion at Pontefract in July. Ed Dunlop's filly could make light work of a 5lb rise in the ratings and she shades the verdict over D Day Arvalenreeva. The daughter of Mastercraftsman arrives on the back of a close-up second at Windsor and another prominent showing looks assured. Fun Loving is also noted.

D DAY ARVALENREEVA looked mightily unlucky not to win at Windsor on her most recent outing in June, having had to wait for a gap for the best part of 2f, so she's taken to gain compensation. Free Speech doubled her career tally in fine style at Pontefract in July and seems likely to give another good account, while Muqinah is an interesting handicap debutante.

In a tight finale D DAY ARVALENREEVA is narrowly preferred to Free Speech.

17:25 Wolverhampton Maiden (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Marmaduke Lemon has shown more than enough in handicaps to suggest he could exploit an ease in class, while first-time cheekpieces might elicit some improvement from Kaolinite, who has displayed a similar level of form this campaign. Preference, though, is for DARK VENTURE. Charlie Hills' charge shaped with promise amidst greenness on his debut at Southwell in March and although the layoff must be a slight cause for concern, natural improvement will see him go close.

MARMADUKE LEMON's latest run at York can be overlooked and he is the one to beat judged on several pieces of form, not least a close call three starts back at Doncaster where he pulled clear of the rest with the winner, who has gone in again since. Assuming that all is well with Dark Venture following a break, he will be a threat having shaped well on his introduction at Southwell during the spring. Pinsent is best of the rest.

Market support for Dark Venture would be interesting back from a break but MARMADUKE LEMON has good claims on his best 7f form.

(8) Quorate 80/1, Failed to progress as a 2-y-o and, easy to back, offered little after 7 months off when ninth of 10 in handicap at Goodwood (7f, good) in June. Betting may well prove a useful guide as to expectations returning from another absence.
Peak effort came over 7f on turf last season; hard to fancy based on her last two starts..

17:35 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 7f  Race Class Flow

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

Argentali has to be of some interest on her handicap debut, wearing a first-time tongue-tie following wind surgery, but she hasn't shown enough yet to suggest she can get the better of MACHIAVELLIAN LADY, a comfortable winner at Wolverhampton and upped 5lb by the handicapper. She had enough in hand to suggest she can shrug that off, with Lady Dreamer possibly her biggest rival under a 5lb penalty, despite only going up 4lb for last week's C&D success.

LADY DREAMER has thrived following her switch back to all-weather in recent months, making it 2 wins from her last 3 starts in a C&D handicap 9 days ago. She looks a live player under a penalty, with fellow last-time-out winner Machiavellian Lady a big player with a repeat of her latest Wolverhampton display. Onthemoneyhoney also needs factoring in following her good third over 1m at Kempton 16 days ago.

The three-year-old MACHIAVELLIAN LADY looked to have better to come when striking for the first time in a handicap and can follow up.

17:40 Newbury Handicap (Class 5) 12f  Race Class Flow

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

BOY GEORGE has proved a different proposition since returning from a long layoff, as displayed with victories at Bath and Windsor in recent months. Although the seven-year-old must defy a career-high mark to land a hat-trick, he looks more than capable of doing so in his current mood. The Glen Rovers opened his account over 1m2f on his handicap bow at Newcastle and is likely to be involved if seeing out the distance. C&D winner Dark Mystery is also noted.

THE GLEN ROVERS remains with few miles on the clock and with this step up in trip looking a plus, he is fancied to follow up his Newcastle success last time out. Boy George rates the obvious threat in his bid for a hat-trick ahead of Darky Mystery and Buxted Too.

Boy George goes for a hat-trick but THE GLEN ROVERS (nap) may well be a marked improver among his rivals.

17:45 Clonmel Handicap 10f  Race Speed Rating Flow

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

LIVIO MILO runs in a first-time tongue-tie, but is an able performer in useful handicap races. Well suited by this distance, he was well enough held in his latest two runs but drops in grade and while 1lb wrong for future races, his rider claims 3lb and this race is winnable. Malbay Madness disappointed twice at the recent Galway Festival, but is forgiven that second run as it came just three days after his hurdles race. He had good handicap form last year, but would ideally prefer easy ground. Recent maiden hurdle winner Expound has been running well in similar handicaps and is well suited by conditions.

Having hit the frame in a couple of Flat handicaps, EXPOUND was much improved when winning a novice hurdle 3 weeks ago and he's fancied the continue the good work. Livio Milo fill find this slightly easier so he's feared, along with Malbay Madness.

Not easy to rule out any of these. The vote goes to EXPOUND to improve a modest strike rate on the Flat following a recent hurdles win

17:55 Wolverhampton Maiden (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Not the most daunting standard set by those with experience so market support for Castellina and Bella Fortunata should be noted, but QUEUE DOS is fancied to gain a deserved breakthrough success. The daughter of Massaat has filled the runner-up spot on each of her last three starts and, with cheekpieces applied for the first time and from a plum draw, she can find the necessary improvement. Handle With Care is another to consider.

CASTELLINA is bred to be above average and those with form don't set the bar all that high, so she could make a winning start if sufficiently tuned up. Queue Dos is the pick of those with experience and Addarella isn't without a chance.

Although more exposed than her rivals QUEUE DOS has shown plenty of ability and won't find many better opportunities to break her duck.

18:10 Newbury Maiden (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

With the third having subsequently opened his account at Lingfield recently, BOXTEL's latest second at Newmarket is working out well. A similar performance may prove sufficient for Jane Chapple-Hyam's colt and he rates as the one to beat. Bolo Neighs has also filled the runner-up berth on both starts to date and he may serve the most resistance to the selection, although market support for 260,000gns debutant Fondo Blanco must be explored.

It may well be a case of third time lucky for BOXTEL, who has shown plenty of ability in novice events over this C&D and at Newmarket, finding just one too good on each occasion. Bolo Neighs chased home the smart Aesterius on the second of his two starts during the spring and he will be a threat if ready to roll following a break, now upped to 6f. Power Fizz could be the pick of the newcomers, though Fondo Blanco and Persian Spirit are also pretty appealing on paper.

Bolo Neighs and BOXTEL have shown more than enough to think they can win a race likely this, with preference for the latter.

18:15 Clonmel Handicap 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

JARVIS BROOK ran a stormer on stable debut for Paul Nolan when just pipped in second at Gowran Park last month. That run came off a very lengthy absence and he should be a big player, as the horse that beat him followed up in a higher grade. Considering Jeaniemacaroney landed a maiden hurdle at Roscommon on her penultimate start, she ought to be up to obliging in a low-grade handicap on the Flat. She has had several near-misses in this sphere, but her best run came at this track when beaten a neck into second last year. The World's Astage is a consistent sort, while Barrogstown Girl struck over further at Limerick in July.

KEILAH was strong in the betting and shaped better than the result (not clear run) when sixth at Cork on debut for this yard, so she makes most appeal for all that the likes of Jeanuemacaroney and Jarvis Brook arrive in good form.

Provided that he doesn't bounce, JARVIS BROOK ought to go well after a big run at Gowran on return when making his yard debut

18:25 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Bernard Spierpoint has been a revelation since rejoining the Darryll Holland yard and completed a quickfire hat-trick at Brighton last weekend. A double penalty is unlikely to prevent another bold bid, but MY GENGHIS may gain his revenge on this return to handicap company. If taking Jack Doughty's 5lb claim into account, the five-year-old is effectively 19lb better off with Bernard Spierpoint for just under five lengths when fifth at Wolverhampton last month. Fircombe Hall is also noted.

This is a distinctly weak event and BERNARD SPIERPOINT showed a good attitude to score at Brighton 4 days ago, so he's worth a chance to defy another penalty despite the quick turnaround. Fircombe Hall should be involved and Tathmeen could play a part if the race doesn't come too soon.

The vote goes to MY GENGHIS who finished 5l behind Bernard Spierpoint here last month, but is now 14lb better off.

18:40 Newbury Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

STATE FLAG is progressing nicely and rates a solid option on the back of a C&D win against similar types in July. Nudged up just 1lb for that narrow success, the daughter of U S Navy Flag has enough scope to follow up here. Tayala is better than she managed at Newmarket and is another must for consideration, while eight-race maiden Wonder Smile is also noted having shown some improvement at Nottingham.

Plenty are in with a shout but WHERE'S FREDDY showed the benefit of cheekpieces when a ready Newmarket scorer last time so is taken to defy a 7 lb weights rise with the headgear again sported. State Flag could emerge as the main danger on the back of her C&D victory with in-form pair Wonder Smile and Clipsham La Habana also in the mix. Freetodream completes the shortlist.

A final chance is given to WONDER SMILE, whose 7f 3yo handicap form at the start of the summer reads well in the context of this race.

18:45 Clonmel Handicap 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

THE BANGER DOYLE travelled well in a staying handicap at Tramore before being outgunned by the winner. He is on a decent mark and has proven fast-ground experience. New Year Honours was strong when winning at Down Royal and the extra yardage shouldn't pose a problem for this former Punchestown maiden hurdle winner. Grappa Nonino has the ability to land a blow for Dermot Weld and Chris Hayes, while Jabbar has won two of his four races this season and has to be respected up in trip. Dark Note is a decent hurdler who could show up well, while En Or was a fair fourth at a big price in Galway and is on a competitive mark.

JABBAR enhanced his good strike rate in handicaps and produced a career-best in the process when successful at Killarney (14.4f) 2 weeks ago. Unexposed at this longer trip, he's fancied to play a lead role once again. The Banger Doyle and New Year Honours are others to consider.

Jack Cleary's 7lb claim should be a big help to the improving JABBAR in his bid to supplement his Killarney win.

18:55 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Having justified market support in a classified event over track and trip in July, GLORY CALL lost little in defeat when pipped at Southwell the following month. A 1lb nudge up the ratings looks on the lenient side for Ollie Pears' gelding and a fourth career victory beckons. Although he could only muster a well-beaten seventh at Catterick recently, better is expected from Eldeyaar on his return to Tapeta. He may give the selection most concern, ahead of Midnight Flame.

GLORY CALL arrives in top form, which can't be said for any of his rivals, so he's a straightforward choice for all that Eldeyaar can be expected to bounce back returned to the surface that suits him well. Araifjan also warrants a mention.

The most appealing option in this modest handicap is GLORY CALL, who is back in good form now and remains on a workable mark.

19:10 Newbury Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Hat-trick seeker Bright has solid credentials and may well cope with a 3lb rise for his latest success gained in the Racing League at Newcastle a fortnight ago. However, REGAL ENVOY almost caused a shock when a close second in a similar event at Windsor the previous week and can one better off just 1lb higher. Supreme King is versatile regarding the ground and is dangerous to underestimate on these terms, while Capote's Dream warrants scrutiny back at this trip off 7lb below his last winning mark.

Lots with chances but BRIGHT rates just the pick of these weights raised 3 lb for his recent Newcastle victory so edges the vote. Supreme King comes here at the top of his game and heads the list of dangers, although a solid case can also be made for Capote's Dream, Lahab and Arnaz in this very competitive handicap.

This can go to BRIGHT who has been in cracking form of late and hasn't been too harshly treated for his two wins.

19:15 Clonmel Handicap 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

CURIOUS BRIDE is holding her form well and has a shot at turning the tables on Elzaamsan. The latter was very good off the front under Josh Halford in a qualified riders' handicap at Leopardstown last month. Curious Bride kept on for third but, as Elzaamsan may not get an uncontested lead this time, she could be a big player as she is proven over further and has enjoyed quick ground before. There could be plenty of pace on in this race which may suit Miss Aytan. On her last run on the Flat, she was held up and kept on for fourth at Tramore. Molly Hall made virtually all over 1m6f at Navan and is another to take seriously under a 7lb penalty.

CURIOUS BRIDE didn't enjoy the rub of the green but still posted a good Leopardstown third last time out so is fancied to quickly resume winning ways. Plains Indian is next on the list at these weights, with recent Navan scorer Molly Hall also very much one to consider.

Last year's winner, MOLLY HALL, should go well after last week's success at Navan and the step back up in trip will help too

19:25 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Last-time-out maiden winner FORAGER has improved with each outing since posting a fifth-placed effort on debut at Yarmouth in June and she enters nursery company off what looks a workable mark. Simon Pearce's filly shouldn't be inconvenienced by the Tapeta surface and she can go in again. Son Of Wind was far from disgraced when runner-up at Chelmsford recently and he isn't taken lightly racing off an unchanged mark. Harswell Dandy may fare best of the rest.

FORAGER has a likeable way of going about things and opened her account comfortably at Beverley last time, so she's preferred to Invincible Annice, with Son of Wind also expected to be involved.

Son Of Wind ran well off his new mark on Saturday but FORAGER can prove his match on the switch to Tapeta.

20:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 12f  Race Class Flow

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

Dibble Dabble may prove popular as the only C&D winner in the field, but he may need a drop in the weights to win again. EMERALD CITY kept on well when a length second at Kempton on his first try at this trip, and he is due to go up 2lb for future races. Edwardtheninth is an interesting alternative in first-time cheekpieces and upped considerably in trip.

EMERALD CITY has shown improved form when runner-up on his last 2 starts, seeing out the longer trip well at Kempton on his latest outing, so he could be ready to go one better this time around. C&D winner Dibble Dabble also arrives in good heart and is respected, with Surrey Force completing the shortlist.

The vote goes to ADVERT RULES who is off the same mark as when chasing home an in-form rival over C&D 16 days ago.

20:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Busby is unlikely to get back to his best at the age of nine, but he has won here four times over C&D, the latest off a stone higher in the handicap in 2022. He could run into a place, but with the Furtado horses in good form it may be worth taking a chance on Ayr fourth WALLAROO, who has performed well without success recently. Caramay is another to consider with the drop back in trip expected to suit.

A wide-open contest with the tentative vote in favour of CERULEAN SUMMER. Dylan Cunha's filly got as close as she ever has to shedding the maiden tag when a close-up third at Leicester 25 days ago and a repeat gives her sound claims in the hope she gets a decent pace to aim at. Tony Carroll's pair Carey Street and Boujee Gold head up the dangers, along with Caramay.

The selection is four-time course winner CAREY STREET (nap) who was successful at 0-55 level the last time he appeared at this venue.

21:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 9f Race Class Flow

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

Etretat won over C&D in July and, although beaten twice on turf since, a return to the all-weather may see him in a better light. The lightly-raced Ravishing Beauty has her first start for Jedd O'Keeffe after a good third at Salisbury, and she could go close if she builds on that making her handicap debut, but a chance is taken on HEAVENLY FIRE. Unlucky after a slow start here last month, she might make amends off bottom weight.

STRAIGHT A failed to justify support when down the field at Haydock 26 days ago, however it would be a surprise were his new yard not able to find the key to him and, with cheekpieces reached for, he's given another chance on tapeta debut. Etretat returned to this venue and handicap debutante Ravishing Beauty head up the dangers. Daymer Bay is another worth a second look.

It may be worth chancing DREAM SELECTION who has dropped 5lb lower than when successful over a furlong further here in February.

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.
