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

Just a length separated Ziggy's Condor (second) and PILGRIM (fourth) in the valuable Goffs UK Harry Beeby Premier Yearling Stakes over course and distance last month. However, the latter is 5lb better off here and that might be enough to see him get off the mark. The Coffee Pod finished a narrow third at Ripon 22 days ago and is likely go well, while the 450,000gns-purchase Bondy, a son of Kingman, is worth a market check ahead of his debut.

Middleham Park hold the aces here, with ZIGGY'S CONDOR, who had no chance with a smart one but beat the rest in a C&D sales race recently, marginally preferred to The Coffee Pod.

Hornblower third THE COFFEE POD gets the narrow vote ahead of Premier Yearling Stakes protagonists Pilgrim and Ziggy's Condor.

In a typically competitive sprint, it may pay to side with the UK challengers on this occasion, headed by Archie Watson's ALBASHEER. He got up to force a dead-heat with Summerghand at York after waiting for room and may better that effort if he gets a clearer run. David O'Meara's nine-year-old is still more than capable. though, and could get involved once again, alongside maiden winner Never Shout Never, who caught the eye at Cork ahead of his handicap debut. Dandyville and Fresh also make the shortlist in a fascinating renewal.

SUMMERGHAND and Albasheer couldn't be seperated in a competitive York sprint last month and can again come to the fore here with David O'Meara's grand veteran taken to edge it on this occasion. The home challenge is headed by C&D winner Prisoner's Dilemma, although Volatile Analyst, Heavenly Power, Never Shout Never and The Highway Rat all need factoring into a highly competitive sprint too.

The ground was soft when NEVER SHOUT NEVER made a winning handicap debut at Cork but he looks progressive and should handle this going

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

EATON LADY has formed quite the partnership with conditional Isabelle Ryder. The pair hit the woodwork at Ludlow before teaming up to success at Uttoxeter in May, and she lost nothing in defeat when occupying the runner-up berth at Worcester last time. From just 2lb higher, Gary Brown's charge can regain the winning thread, while Sinurita and veteran Kentford Mallard are perhaps the most likely dangers.

SINURITA remains with few miles on the clock and signalled she's ready to get off the mark with an excellent second at Bangor last month. Veteran Kentford Mallard could emerge as the chief threat to Neil Mulholland's mare after a break, although in-form pair Eaton Lady and Quiet Thunder need factoring in too.

Low-mileage 7yo SINURITA shaped very much as though her turn was near when clear second to one of Dan Skelton's new recruits last time.

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

Real Gain is open to further progression now he switches to turf after two narrow-margin wins on the all-weather and fits the profile of a colt with a bright future. However, the previous Knavesmire experience held by CATCH THE PADDY earns him the vote. Having finished a close second in the Sky Bet Mile over C&D last month, he can go one place better off just 1lb higher. Bajan Bandit is closely matched with the selection and commands respect, while Harlem Nights is also seriously considered.

It's easy to be positive about this bunch of 3-y-os with REAL GAIN just about the most persuasive option given he defends an unbeaten record and promises to go on improving. Catch The Paddy and Bajan Bandit finished second and third in a C&D handicap at the Ebor meeting and are a couple of potential threats.

Although unraced on fast ground, according to his pedigree there's every chance that FLORIDA will improve for it.

It will be interesting to see how Never Ending Story goes back in a Group 2, but JACKIE OH still looks the pick of Aidan O'Brien's quartet on the evidence of her fetching victory in Group 3 company at Gowran in July. The daughter of Galileo would probably prefer easier ground but she may still have too much class for this field, with Araminta and Mashia others to note from a possible value perspective.

JACKIE OH was most impressive when landing a Group 3 at Gowran last time and, with further progress expected, he can get the better of Trevaunance, who sets the standard. Araminta is also on the up and deserves plenty of respect.

Preference is for LUMIERE ROCK, who has been hugely consistent at up to 1m4f and acts on any ground. She would be a deserving winner

TWO PAST EIGHT couldn't quite carry a penalty to success at Stratford in July, having won on his hurdles bow at Aintree the previous month. This contest does not look as deep, however, and is a good opportunity for him to get back in the winning groove. Grain Of Hope was no match for an easy winner last time but that experience ought to stand her in good stead. Limelight can chase the pair home ahead of Steven Seagull.

GRAIN OF HOPE had little hope reeling in a rival who kept out of trouble on hurdles debut over C&D 17 days ago and the 14 lb she receives from previous-winner Two Past Eight may prove to be decisive. Limelight can't be totally ruled out, either.

Aintree winner Two Past Eight is respected but has to concede 14lb to GRAIN OF HOPE, who was second over C&D on her hurdling debut.

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

YORKINDNESS finished third at Musselburgh when attempting to make it a hat-trick of victories and Charlie Johnston's filly, who brings the most solid recent level of form to the contest, has been found an ideal opportunity to strike once again. Tendentious is likely to be the main threat following his Redcar success when seeming to benefit from cheekpieces being reapplied. Red Force One and Gibside both have something to prove on recent evidence.

This could get messy but if YORKINDNESS can settle in front it's easy to see her making all. Gibside is an unknown quantity over this sort of trip but he's yet to run a bad race at York and could emerge as the danger.

The safest option looks to be YORKINDNESS as she bids for her fourth win of the season.

Art Power might not be quite the force of old, but Tim Easterby's stable star has recorded four victories in as many visits here and merits the utmost respect with that in mind. Bradsell defeated HIGHFIELD PRINCESS in the King's Stand at Royal Ascot but the latter reversed the form at York and last year's winner gets the nod. The classy Night Of Thunder mare bolted up 12 months ago and she is fancied to lead home a one-two-three for the UK.

HIGHFIELD PRINCESS shaped best in the Nunthorpe and this high-class mare is so reliable that she's a straightforward choice to add another success at the top level. Bradsell has beaten the selection once already this season, so he's an obvious danger, while Art Power's outstanding course record throws him into the reckoning.

Last year's wide-margin winner HIGHFIELD PRINCESS is likely to get a sterner test but can take the measure of Bradsell

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

Cheltenam De Vaige recorded a facile success over hurdles last month and he merits respect back chasing, but preference is for ORGANDI. Richard Phillips' charge receives a welcome drop in grade having been below-par in a class 2 contest at Worcester 19 days ago and, from 12lb below his last winning mark, this looks well within range. Fairlawn Flyer's saddle slipped at Southwell three days ago so he's worth considering turned out quickly, while Moratorium is far from out of this either.

Only four runners but a trappy contest, with ORGANDI chanced to resume winning ways off a lowly mark on her first go in a 0-120 in this sphere. Fairlawn Flyer's saddle slipped at Southwell on Thursday and he'd previously won at Cartmel so he's respected.

The pick is CHELTENAM DE VAIGE (nap), who proved his wellbeing with an easy hurdle win 17 days ago and has conditions to suit here.

In an open event, marginal preference is for TROPICAL ISLAND, who was only narrowly denied in a good novice event at Ripon. Now switched to nursery company, Richard Fahey's filly could be hard to stop off an opening mark of 83. Batal Zabeel is an obvious threat following his successful handicap bow at Beverley, while Media Shooter edges out Watch My Tracer to be best of the rest.

TROPICAL ISLAND looks well-in for her nursery debut after a fine effort at Ripon and makes plenty of appeal under William Buick. Batal Zabeel is feared most, although Taygar could do better now handicapping after a break with her Redcar form looking very good.

The suggestion is TAYGAR who looks well handicapped on her last novice effort. Tropical Island is second choice.

YLANG YLANG has created a fine impression in both of her victories to date and looks more than capable of landing a hat-trick now stepped up to the highest level. Vespertilio (second) finished behind the selection at Leopardstown in July and franked that form when winning a Group 2 over course and distance last month. The Night Of Thunder filly is feared most, ahead of the consistent Porta Fortuna, who looks a potential improver now upped to 7f.

Aidan O'Brien's 1.5 million Frankel filly YLANG YLANG has created an excellent impression in going 2-2 thus far and is fancied to take this step up in class in her stride in a fascinating Moyglare Stud. Albany victor Porta Fortuna should find this step up to 7f to her benefit and is next on the list ahead of the unexposed Red Viburnum and Sweet Solero heroine Fallen Angel.

The tactics were executed much better on VESPERTILIO when she won the Debutante impressively and she will be hard to beat

WATERGRANGE JACK has flourished since being reunited with Sam Twiston-Davies and, having won his last two starts in a gritty manner, he is likely to be tough to overhaul in his bid for a hat-trick. A 5lb rise looks fair for his success over an extended 2m5f at this venue 17 days ago, but the drop in trip can help Shallow River ensure this is a good test for the selection. Sermando can also go well on these terms.

WATERGRANGE JACK has discovered the winning habit lately and might be up to completing the hat-trick. Shallow River rates an obvious threat, while Icare Grandchamp can be made to look very well treated on his French form and is one to monitor closely in the betting back from a break.

Excused his odds-on defeat last time, SHALLOW RIVER will be a tough nut to crack if matching his Market Rasen form from June.

Successful in the Haydock Sprint Cup this time two years ago, EMARAATY ANA proved he still has plenty of zest when narrowly denied in Listed company at Newmarket. That was a particularly encouraging effort and given that he was won over C&D, the son of Shamardal should have too much for Hackwood winner Commanche Falls. Rage Of Bamby almost sprung a surprise in a handicap at the Ebor Festival here and is another to consider, along with the capable Diligent Harry.

EMARAATY ANA tends to come good at this time of year so Kevin Ryan's very classy 7-y-o is well worth a chance to build on his back-to-form second at Newmarket last month. Rage of Bamby, ran a corker in handicap company at the Ebor meeting and looks next best.

The vote goes to RAGE OF BAMBY (nap), who holds solid claims off bottom weight back at Listed level. Emaraaty Ana is feared most.

CITY OF TROY could hardly have been more impressive when pulling clear of his rivals in the Superlartive Stakes at Newmarket last month. That performance suggests that the son of Justify is more than capable of making his mark at Group 1 level and he merits the utmost respect. That said, Bucanero Fuerte cannot be discounted following his four-length win in the Phoenix Stakes here last month, while similar comments apply to the selection's stablemate Henry Longfellow after his Futurity success.

A mouthwatering clash between CITY OF TROY and Bucanero Fuerte. The latter was most impressive in the 6f Phoenix here and isn't opposed lightly with 7f promising to suit him even better but City of Troy looked something out of the ordinary when trouncing his rivals in the Superlative and can stretch his unbeaten record to 3.

Ryan Moore is declared for CITY OF TROY who can enhance his Classic claims by accounting for Phoenix Stakes winner Bucanero Fuerte

Toad Of Toad Hall was a winner over 3m2f here in May and is respected, while Bensini, who was successful over timber at Worcester in July, is open to improvement. However, ZORAN has the most convincing profile based on recent performances and would take plenty of stopping if reproducing the form that saw him win over 2m4f at Worcester two starts ago.

This looks a good opportunity for ZORAN to bounce back from a lesser run at Worcester and land a second win of the season. Bensini might be the one to give him most to do if taking to chasing at the first time of asking.

Another chance is given to ZORAN, who didn't fire last time but was a comfortable winner two starts ago and still has low mileage.

ANJO BONITA appeared to win with something in hand on just her second appearance for Roger Fell and Sean Murray at Hamilton recently. The Harry Angel filly is fancied to complete a double off 4lb higher at the expense of Mathematician, who enters the reckoning on the back of his all-weather success at Newcastle last month. A 3lb rise is unlikely to prevent another bold bid, while Highwaygrey and Feel The Need are others to note.

MATHEMATICIAN and Anjo Bonita are both 3yos going the right way and they may well dominate against, on the whole, more exposed types. Preference is for the first-named, who is bred to go on progressing, and of the remainder King Triton looks the most appealing.

Although SHIMMERING SANDS flattered to deceive last time, he's unlikely to be far away with a repeat of his previous effort here.

All eyes will be on the returning KYPRIOS as he makes his first appearance since completing the perfect season last year with a demolition job in the Prix du Cadran at Longchamp. Unfortunately, the five-year-old has been sidelined for the majority of this campaign due to a setback, but he has clearly been pleasing connections in recent weeks and is a cut above the opposition based on his achievements in 2022. Stable companion Emily Dickinson (second) and Eldar Eldarov (fourth) both had no chance from their positions in the Goodwood Cup, but the pair are more than capable of taking advantage if the selection falters.

This year's renewal of the Irish St Leger features the much-awaited return to action of the outstanding KYPRIOS who was unstoppable over 1¾m+ last year and can make light of his absence and land a fifth Group 1 win in a row. Stablemate Emily Dickinson can give him most to do.

Last year's staying star KYPRIOS suffered a joint infection which has delayed his return. If he has avoided ill effects he will win

Zoe Alyssa can improve now that she is tried with a tongue-tie fitted, while Dance In The Park offers some appeal on pedigree as she is out of an unraced half-sister to the Grade 1 winner Breedsbreeze. However, CHESKY'S IN MILAN shades preference as she drops in class for her second career start. Her dam was a bumper winner and this is notably easier than the Ascot contest that she contested on her racecourse debut.

CHESKY'S IN MILAN didn't go with a great deal of promise at Ascot on debut but she's entitled to have strengthened up in the 6 months since and so she's worth taking a chance on in a very thin race. Hubble Trubble and Little Madam fit a similar mould in that they could leave their debut form well behind but the market should be informative.

Only beaten about 22l at Ascot in February, CHESKY'S IN MILAN might be the answer to this weak bumper.

The impressive recent Doncaster winner Squealer could be vulnerable after a 7lb rise in the ratings. Dream For Gold, Brooklyn Nine Nine and Star Of Lady M all have to be of some interest but PILLOW TALK may take some stopping if a first-time visor has the desired effect. Karl Burke's lightly-raced filly showed up well at a higher level over course and distance last time out and looks more than capable of winning off her current mark.

This looks wide open but SQUEALER rates the pick of the weights despite taking a 7 lb rise for his ready Doncaster success so edges the vote. Spirit of Applause should find this return to the minimum trip in his favour so rates the chief danger, although the likes of Thunder Moor, Looking For Lynda and Profitable Edge all command plenty of respect too.

Karl Burke holds a strong hand in a competitive event with LOOKING FOR LYNDA marginally preferred to Pillow Talk.

NATIVE AMERICAN has not been in action since an impressive victory at York in May and he looks to have been laid out for this valuable contest with Colin Keane booked for the ride. Richard Fahey's colt could be anything and he is preferred to Nikki Swango, who continues to improve with each start, as well as promising Navan fourth Lively Set. Eve Johnson Houghton won this contest last year and she appears to have two solid contenders this time around in Mercian Warrior and Revenue.

British raiders have mopped up this valuable sales race and NATIVE AMERICAN makes plenty of appeal for Richard Fahey, who took this in 2020 with one under Colin Keane. He made an impressive start when scoring at York in May and could be hard to beat if improving as expected. Nikki Swango is feared most, ahead of Lively Set.

The one to be on here could be NIKKI SWANGO(nap), an improving filly who ran into a very good one at Cork last time and can land this

Johnny Murtagh sent out a 1-2-3 in this event 12 months ago and can taste further glory courtesy of TAKE HEART, who ended Golden Spangle's hat-trick ambitions at Naas and is open to plenty of further improvement. Starry Eyed and Genuine Article are other unexposed three-year-olds to consider, while the latter's stablemate Coeur d'Or tops the weights on the back of his Irish Cambridgeshire triumph, although third home Crystal Black could reverse that form. Didn'thavemuchtodo seems on a nice mark for one who has gone close in Listed company more than once.

Up-and-coming 3-y-os TAKE HEART and Genuine Article are put up against with the field, with marginal preference for the former on the back of his taking win at Naas a fortnight ago. Of the rest, Midgam should be all the better for his reappearance/stable debut and has been given a chance by the assessor.

The answer could be MIGDAM, a three-time winner for Sir Michael Stoute who caught the eye with a very nice run at Naas two weeks ago

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.
