13:50 Curragh Handicap 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Course winner STRIKE RED is ground-versatile, ideally suited by this distance and finished second in a decent heritage handicap at York last month. He hasn't won since landing the Scurry Handicap here in July 2023 but has performed consistently well in similar hot handicaps and, notably, finished ahead of today's rival Torivega at Royal Ascot and is now 4lb better off with that rival. Torivega, out of a Group 2-winning dam, has had three luckless runs here this year but, being a four-year-old, might continue to progress further. Heavenly Power beat Apache Outlaw (second) to win the August C&D race in which Torivega finished third and the pair have obvious form claims.

STRIKE RED landed a big handicap here last season and returned to that sort of form when runner-up at York last month. He gets the nod in a fiercely competitive contest. Greek Flower, Keke and Heavenly Power make up the shortlist.

The selection is GREEK FLOWER, runner-up in both the Rockingham and the Scurry, and holds the best overall form this season

13:57 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Only a progressive rival proved too strong for RENESMEE on her stable bow at Windsor 13 days ago and compensation could be on the cards. Alice Haynes' filly makes plenty of appeal racing off a 2lb lower mark and she may prove too strong for chief threat Run Of Luck. The three-year-old proved far more competitive when runner-up on his handicap debut at Ffos Las last time out and another prominent showing is forecast. Galactic Glow is also noted.

RENESMEE is well handicapped on the pick of her form and has joined a yard who has a good record with similar types, so is fancied to build on a promising stable debut and belatedly get off the mark for the season. Blue Hero has a good record at this C&D and is best forgiven his latest effort here, so remains of interest, with Run of Luck also considered after an improved effort last time.

Topweight RENESMEE has a modest strike-rate but she did quite well to finish second on her recent stable debut and is well handicapped.

14:05 Doncaster Handicap (Class 3) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Good Earth took care of his nearest rival by half a length at Sandown last month and he should make a bold bid to complete the hat-trick off 3lb higher. However, this is a much tougher assignment and, with that in mind, the vote goes to VENTURE CAPITAL. Kevin Ryan's three-year-old has proved a different proposition since being dropped to 6f on his last two starts and a repeat of his most recent second at Ascot may be good enough. Existent completes the shortlist.

GOOD EARTH arrives in fine form and showed a fine attitude when scoring at Sandown last time. He gets the nod in what looks a competitive opener. Brave Nation and Venture Capital head the list of dangers.

Good Earth isn't opposed lightly in his hat-trick bid but BRAVE NATION (nap) has a fine record over C&D and continues to progress.

14:10 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

OCEANIC WONDER (winner) accounted for Hardman (second), who has since recorded a triumph of his own, at Redcar last month, and the pair meet on the same terms here. The latter isn't certain to be suited by a drop in trip having won over 1m2f at Chelmsford, so the form is expected to be upheld. However, if likely pace angles Pearl Sands and Showmethewayhome go too hard, then stamina could come into play.

OCEANIC WONDER gained reward for several decent efforts in defeat when off the mark at Redcar last month and Tim Easterby's filly can confirm placings with the quirky Hardman, who has since scored himself at Chelmsford in the interim. Pearl Sands took advantage of a drop in grade at Ffos Las last time and completes the shortlist.

It was only a classified race that PEARL SANDS won at Ffos Las but he did it comfortably and he might be able to kick on from there.

14:25 Curragh Group 2 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

PURPLE LILY endured a rough passage in the Irish Oaks but holds today's other three-year-olds on previous form and can also defeat older rivals. She failed by half a length against subsequent English Oaks winner Ezeliya at Navan in April and may have been unsuited by dropping to a mile in the Irish 1,000 Guineas, but the Irish Oaks form here in July is strong with the first two home going on to fill the same positions in the Yorkshire Oaks. The selection has 2lb to find with American Sonja on official ratings and, while she is suited by this distance and finished second in a Deauville Group 1 recently, Joseph O'Brien's charge would prefer some cut in the ground. Elizabeth Jane was a length and a half behind the selection in the Irish Oaks and has solid place claims.

PURPLE LILY ran a cracker in the Irish Oaks last time, despite seemingly being stretched by the longer trip. She is fancied to land the spoils. American Sonja and Elizabeth Jane rate the principal dangers.

The one to beat is PURPLE LILY(nap), who just ran out of steam in the Irish Oaks and should take plenty of stopping over this trip

14:32 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Having been demoted to second in the stewards' room at Wolverhampton recently, Keep Singing must enter calculations racing off a 2lb lower mark. However, The Kameko filly had previously finished third behind the reopposing BRACKLESHAM BAY, who is taken to complete a double. Jamie Osborne's gelding scored with something in hand on his nursery bow at Chepstow that day and he could make light work of a 5lb rise in the ratings. Bright Era and Bownder can also have a say.

BRACKLESHAM BAY took a marked step forward switched to nurseries when scoring comfortably at Bownder's expense at Chepstow last time. He's bred to do a fair bit better again and he can uphold the form with that rival. Keep Singing, who lost the race in the Stewards' room at Wolverhampton recently, is another one to have in mind.

After running a big race at Wolverhampton on Monday, KEEP SINGING is taken to strike here before the handicapper has a chance to react.

14:40 Doncaster Handicap (Class 2) 7f  Race Class Flow

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

TEN POUNDS has been victorious on each of his three starts since finishing fourth on his debut and is improving at a rapid rate of knots. Harry Charlton's three-year-old made a mockery of his opening mark at Newcastle last month and might be up to defying a 9lb hike back on turf. Germanic failed to carry a penalty to success at Thirsk last time, but he was far from disgraced when a short-head second and should make a bold bid on his handicap debut in first-time cheekpieces. Fifty Nifty is another to note.

A hot 3-y-o handicap, with Harry Charlton's TEN POUNDS fancied to extend his winning sequence to 4, looking every inch a smart prospect when scoring at Newcastle last month. Spanish Blaze caught the eye when a running-on fifth at Sandown last time, with Newmarket winner Fifty Nifty, one of several who look open to improvement, completing the shortlist.

Preference is for TEN POUNDS who impressed when winning on his handicap debut at Newcastle to complete a hat-trick.

14:45 Musselburgh Stakes (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Official ratings suggest Soul Singer, who remains winless but has shown more than enough to suggest he is up to winning a race of this nature, must have a good chance. Preference is for David and Nicola Barron's WESSEX, though, who hasn't been seen since finishing seventh on debut last year. That race has worked out extremely well and, though the layoff and application of a hood is a slight cause for concern, he might not need his best to land this. All About Neve rates best of the rest.

The Lingfield race WESSEX finished seventh in a year ago worked out very nicely and while he's been off since (and moved yards) he retains plenty of potential. Similar comments also apply to All About Neve returning from even longer off the track, while Soul Singer ought to be a factor at this level.

A poor novice. WESSEX did show some raw ability on his debut for the Meades and is worth chancing on his return.

15:00 Curragh Group 1 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

BEDTIME STORY has been kept ticking over since her Royal Ascot romp and will be primed for this first Group 1 attempt. By Frankel and out of dual Nunthorpe Stakes winner Mecca's Angel, she is a really smart filly and has won twice since Ascot at the expense of stablemate Exactly. Simmering was flattered to finish as close to Fairy Godmother as she did in the Albany Stakes but, nonetheless, she won in good style at Deauville last month. She seemed to benefit from stepping up to this distance that day and is noted. Lake Victoria and Red Letter met over C&D in June and are up in class.

BEDTIME STORY is an excellent prospect and can provide her trainer with a record-extending tenth success in this Group 1 contest. Her stablemate Lake Victoria can confirm her narrow C&D maiden superiority over Red Letter and fill the forecast spot.

The potentially top-class RED LETTER followed a narrow defeat in June with an impressive maiden success here and could be anything

15:07 Bath Maiden (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

The heavy ground was a possible excuse for ANNIE EDSON TAYLOR's defeat when runner-up at Ffos Las last month. The return to a sounder surface could prove just the tonic for the daughter of Mayson and a breakthrough victory is forecast. All Ways Glamorous posted his best effort to date when a close-up second at Chepstow 20 days ago and he may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of likely improver Trafalger.

Perhaps ALL WAYS GLAMOROUS can prove too strong for Irish-raider Annie Edson Taylor, who has yet to conclusively prove she's trained on.

Excused last month's defeat on heavy ground, ANNIE EDSON TAYLOR appears to have been found a good opportunity.

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

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

Great Generation was put in her place at the top level at Deauville on her latest outing, but she is a previous Group 3 winner who has to be taken seriously against this level of opposition. However, it may pay to side with FAIR ANGELLICA, who is on the rise after securing victory at Listed level in France last time and that was a career-best effort. Richard Hughes' three-year-old can continue her upward curve to take her tally to six wins from eight starts. Queen Of Mougins isn't out of it either.

FAIR ANGELLICA upped her game to land a listed contest in Deauville last time and is well worth a chance to follow up at the possible expense of Queen of Mougins. Elim is another to consider in an open-looking event.

The Group 1 Prix Maurice de Gheest proved too much for GREAT GENERATION last time but she looked good in Group 3 races previously.

15:22 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

SHIELAS WELL won with plenty in hand at Newcastle on Tuesday and with the return to turf unlikely to pose any issues, Grant Tuer's filly looks well placed to go in again under a penalty. The form of Aye Up Lass' recent C&D second looks fairly solid and she ought to put up most resistance, with Law Degree perhaps the one for third.

SHIELAS WELL was very much suited by the extra 1f when building on previous promise to open her account in tidy fashion at Newcastle on Tuesday and looks up to defying a penalty. Aye Up Lass responded well to first-time headgear when going close over C&D last time and is the obvious threat.

This looks a good opportunity for SHIELAS WELL to follow up her recent Newcastle win which was thoroughly decisive.

15:35 Curragh Group 1 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

BRADSELL has underperformed in two course runs but is top class when conditions are in his favour. Winner of the 2022 Coventry Stakes, he disappointed in the Phoenix Stakes here as a juvenile but has since found his niche running over this distance. He won the King's Stand as a three-year-old and, while he disappointed in this race last year, softening ground blunted his speed that day and he should take all of the beating if replicating his Nunthorpe Stakes performance. Believing finished second in the Nunthorpe and should again run well, while last year's winner Moss Tucker might need a bit of cut underfoot.

BRADSELL impressed when seeing off Believing in the Nunthorpe at York last month and is taken to confirm his superiority over George Boughey's consistent filly, who returns to the scene of her Group 2 success in July. Bucanero Fuerte could be spot on for this after his run in the Haydock Sprint Cup last weekend and is next on the list.

It may pay to side with BELIEVING, a Group 2 winner here in July and one that might be improving at a faster rate than Bradsell

15:40 Bath Handicap (Class 2) 14f Race Class Flow

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

AL SAYAH notched up back-to-back successes over timber in May before recording a commanding win over 2m1f here on his Flat return the following month. The excellent Sean D Bowen takes 3lb off her back to soften the blow of a 9lb rise and she has scope for further progress in this sphere, so could be up to the task. Dynamiste got the better of Spitfire Bridge (second) when the pair met over 1m5f here last month and she's taken to confirm her superiority over that rival, while others to note include Grey Owl and Uther Pendragon.

BOY GEORGE had his winning run ended at Newbury 10 days ago but the way he pulled clear of the third suggests he can win off this mark. Al Sayah transferred her improvement over hurdles to the Flat when bolting up here in June so is an obvious threat, with the likeable Grey Owl another to consider having got off the mark at Salisbury last time.

Dual hurdle winner AL SAYAH (nap) returned to the Flat with a wide-margin course win in June and can collect this quite valuable prize.

15:45 Doncaster Stakes (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Having opened his account on the straight mile at Ascot nine days ago, another bold bid is forecast from TERRIES ROYALE. On that evidence, Mick Appleby's gelding shades the verdict over Finn Russell. The Caravaggio gelding was far from disgraced when runner-up at Epsom on Thursday and he's likely to be involved if over those exertions. Tactical Control and Finn Ironside are also noted in a race where few can be ruled out.

TERRIES ROYALE is a lightly-raced 4-y-o with a largely progressive profile who might be able to follow up last week's Ascot success. There are many possible dangers, headed by Tactical Control for last year's winning stable and Craig Lidster pair Finn Ironside and Crown's Lady.

Ben Brookhouse and Tom Scudamore won this last year with a 3yo who was dropping back in trip and can repeat the feat with SECRET BEACH.

15:55 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Dain Ma Nut In shed his maiden tag in fine style over track and trip last month and he should go well now stepping back into the handicap ranks. However, JESMOND DAWN looks the way to go. Grant Tuer's three-year-old went in by two lengths in this grade at Ripon on his latest outing and a 6lb rise may underestimate the manner of that success. Gone Rogue is another to consider.

DAIN MA NUT IN opened his account in good style when making all at this C&D last time and he is taken to score again now that he's up and running. He can get the better of Jesmond Dawn, who also arrives on the back of a win, while Gone Rogue is one to note from his current mark.

With Jesmond Dawn now on a career-high mark this could be a suitable opening for GONE ROGUE to win for a third time.

16:10 Curragh Group 1 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

HENRI MATISSE is still a work in progress but can progress further. Out of a Group 1-winning dam, none of his wins have been flashy performances and while displaying signs of inexperience in both the Railway Stakes and the Futurity, he finished that latest race quite well and is ideally suited by this distance. Aomori City also seemed to benefit from stepping up to this distance when winning at Goodwood in July. He had previously finished third to subsequent Prix Morny winner Whistlejacket at Newmarket, while the form of his recent win was subsequently boosted by the third-placed colt winning at Group 2 level. Hill Road stays well as he impressively won his maiden over a mile, but steps up markedly in class.

HENRI MATISSE looks every inch a Group 1 winner in waiting following a faultless start to his career and with his Futurity Stakes win over C&D comfortably the best form on offer, he's very hard to get away from. Aomori City is second choice, though Hill Road brings considerable potential to the table.

Aidan O'Brien can prevail with the unbeaten Railway Stakes and Futurity Stakes winner HENRI MATISSE. Aomori City is a big danger

16:15 Doncaster Handicap (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Orazio didn't appear to see out the rise in distance when last over 7f at Ascot in July, but can go well if bouncing back to the form that saw him finish a close-up third in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot the month before. However, it may be worth taking a punt on BARADAR, who won this last year. George Boughey's inmate is now 4lb below that winning mark and a 50-day break may have freshened him up. The progressive Brewing is also interesting on his turf debut.

TACARIB BAY has only narrowly been denied on his last 2 starts, beaten a nose by a course specialist at Ascot on his latest outing, so he is taken to get back to winning ways this time around. King's Lynn arrives in good heart and can make his presence felt once more, with Knebworth also considered.

Last year's winner BARADAR hasn't been at his best this summer but has an excellent record here and is 4lb lower than 12 months ago.

16:20 Bath Handicap (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

With bags of recent winning form to consider, this looks wide open, and, with that in mind, only a tentative vote can go to DELAGATE THIS LORD. The veteran landed this race in comfortable fashion from a 2lb higher mark 12 months ago and while he had struggled earlier in the season, there were more encouraging signs on his most recent effort. There ought to be many of challengers, including the likes of Treacherous (winner) and Lipsink (second) who clashed over C&D last month. Sarah's Verse and Symbol of Hope both like it around here and must enter the reckoning, along with Vaunted, who was slightly unfortunate when third here earlier this month.

Lots of these arrive in good order with the veteran TREACHEROUS taken to come out on top. He's used to running in slightly stronger races than this and had a few of these behind when winning over C&D last month. A well-run race brings Vaunted firmly into the equation, with Silent Flame completing the shortlist.

Sarah's Verse and Lipsink are high on the list but SILENT FLAME hasn't looked back since blinkers were fitted.

16:30 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 5) 5f  Race Class Flow

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

Eternal Sunshine is in sparkling form after making it four wins from her last five starts over C&D last time, and she is likely to be on the premises off a 4lb higher mark. However, she could come out second best to SPRING IS SPRUNG, who filled the runner-up spot at Windsor on his latest outing and is only 1lb higher for that effort. Paul Midgley's five-year-old looks well placed to get his head back in front, while Our Absent Friends completes the shortlist.

SPRING IS SPRUNG has had a productive season and can take advantage of a draw near the rail and prove too strong for the thriving Eternal Sunshine, who only just got away with it over 5f here last time and is another 4 lb higher now. Recent Haydock scorer Our Absent Friends completes the shortlist.

Classy Al has the ability to go well at this level but his thriving stablemate ETERNAL SUNSHINE could have his measure today.

16:45 Curragh Group 1 14f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

KYPRIOS was beaten in this at a short price last year but has looked back to his brilliant best this term and should prove the class act. The son of Galileo had an injury interrupted campaign last term but has been flawless in four starts this year, winning his second Ascot Gold Cup and most recently running out an impressive victor of the Goodwood Cup. Giavellotto looks the obvious danger and will make sure it's a solid test. He steps back up in trip after a cosy Group 2 success at Newmarket in July. He beat Vauban in fine style in the Yorkshire Cup in May, while Willie Mullins' charge restored his confidence on the Knavesmire last month.

KYPRIOS looked as good as ever when regaining the Ascot Gold Cup and Goodwood Cup this summer and he can do the same here having won this 2 years ago (runner-up last year on belated comeback). Giavellotto has looked high-class this year and rates a serious opponent, with Lonsdale Cup winner Vauban the only other realistic threat.

In regaining the Gold Cup at Ascot, KYPRIOS confirmed his status as an outstanding stayer. His Goodwood win was most impressive

16:50 Doncaster Handicap (Class 4) 10f  Race Class Flow

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

This can go the way of the unexposed LENNOX, who was making just his fourth career start when narrowly denied at Windsor in May. Given a break since then, Harry Eustace's charge can strike off a mark of 78 on his handicap debut, with Bowood looking best placed to chase him home as he goes in search of a four-timer. Back to winning ways at York last time out, Young Fire is another to consider, along with French Mistress and Liberty Coach.

Plenty to consider but MINERS GAMBLE produced a career-best effort when successful at Musselburgh 3 weeks ago and given his pedigree, this step up in trip could unlock even more. Bowood has made a faultless start for Ivan Furtado so he has to command respect, along the in-form veteran Young Fire.

Bowood impressed over 1m on his last two starts but is not crying out for 1m2f. MINERS GAMBLE gets the vote in a competitive race.

16:55 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

A highly progressive sort throughout this summer, SNOW BERRY arrives on the back of a comfortable success over slightly further here last time out, and the drop in trip should not inconvenience as she looks to follow up off 4lb higher. Not beaten far at Chepstow last time out, Darkened Edge can give her the most to think about, along with Turn And Burn, who got off the mark with a win over 5f at Lingfield.

SNOW BERRY proved better than ever when successful at this course on her latest outing, so she looks to hold leading claims as she bids for a fourth win of the season. A pair of fellow C&D winners could be the main dangers, with Darkened Edge feared most ahead of Wedgewood.

Most have realistic each-way claims but it might be another race which pans out best for SNOW BERRY. The wild card is Turn And Burn.

Denied by the narrowest of margins on each of his last three outings, including over C&D the last twice, Freddy Robinson might be forced to settle for another supporting role. Midnight Lion returns from a break and is also noted.

LAUDABLE is thriving and overcame a slow start to complete the hat-trick last time, so he's fancied to go in again for all that he's up against another in-form sort in Freddy Robinson. Midnight Lion can't be dismissed.

The choice looks to rest between Laudable and FREDDY ROBINSON, with the latter chosen to end his frustrating run of seconds.

17:20 Curragh Stakes 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SPIRIT D'OR can give trainer Gavin Hernon a big winner here. The Invincible Spirit filly ran well to finish fourth in Listed company at Deauville on her penultimate start and there is an Irish line of form to work with there as the consistent Shamrock Breeze was just denied in that race. The handicapper has given the maiden winner a mark of 93 and she sets the standard. Aidan O'Brien tries cheekpieces on Right And True and he could be a big player after solid placed efforts in maidens the last twice. English raiders have a fine record in this and Karl Burke's Unspoken Love drops in class.

It's significant that SPIRIT D'OR has made the long trip over for this after getting off the mark comfortably at Moulins, so she's worth siding with in the hope that further improvement can be unlocked back up in trip Gloriously Glam is an obvious player and No Such Thing can do better still.

Gavin Hernon's raider SPIRIT D'OR has the merit of having run well in a Listed race, arguably giving her the best credentials

17:25 Doncaster Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Not beaten far in the Portland here on a couple of occasions, MAKANAH is the class act in this line-up and he seems to have found his old spark under jockey Tom Kiely-Marshall of late with a success at Redcar followed by a runner-up effort at Thirsk. The hat-trick-seeking Archduke Ferdinand is likely to be thereabouts, while Havana Pusey is likely to build on a narrow defeat at Windsor last month. Completing the shortlist are the likes of Dickieburd, Imperial Guard and Justcallmepete.

ARAMRAM ran well when third under this rider at Goodwood last time, travelling smoothly for a long way after the missing break, and gets the vote up against mostly exposed rivals. Dickieburd was a good second off this mark at York last week so rates a threat along with Havana Pusey, who only just failed at Windsor 3 weeks ago.

Class-droppers Imperial Guard and ROCK OPERA appeal most. The selection has had excuses since his C&D win in June.

17:30 Bath Handicap (Class 5) 8f  Race Class Flow

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

Now that the penny has dropped for BEAU GARS after a relatively comfortable success at Ffos Las last month, the son of Brazen Beau is likely to have plenty more improvement to come. He can defy a 3lb rise to the double at the main expense of Kempton third Fihrayn and Macs Dilemma, who has been running with credit of late without getting his head in front. Racing Demon and Vellner are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

FIHRAYN is still relatively low mileage and found improvement when runner-up at Kempton earlier this month. This step back up in trip should suit and he gets the nod in the finale. Macs Dilemna and Vellner are feared most.

The answer might be FIHRAYN, who recently returned to form with a good 7f AW run and may still have untapped potential over 1m.

17:35 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Returning from a 349-day absence and making his first start for new connections, SPACE NINJA looked like a winner waiting to happen when only worn down late in the piece at Carlisle last month. With normal improvement expected on the back of that, the son of Kodiac can see off recent Catterick third Elettaria, and Carlisle winner Inanna, who is a big player if handling the step back up in trip.

Preference is for SPACE NINJA, who is still low mileage and made an encouraging start for his new yard at Carlisle last month. Inanna and Believe Me Not should also go well.

Quite competitive. SPACE NINJA (nap) looks to have as good a chance as any having come clear with a subsequent winner at Carlisle.

17:55 Curragh Handicap 10f  Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Ryan Moore gave WIGMORE STREET a fantastic ride to win here 15 days ago and there looks scope for further improvement from the American Pharoah gelding. He came with a late charge to gain a head victory in the Irish Cambridgeshire and going another couple of furlongs now should suit. Gerry Keane had a memorable day when taking this last year with Crystal Black and Genuine Article could run a big race again for the same connections. He was a touch unlucky when fourth at Galway recently and is tried in blinkers now. Former Group 1 winner Helvic Dream has been eased a few pounds and is interesting back in handicap company.

WIGMORE STREET put it all together when landing a big-field handicap here last time and the longer trip promises to suit, so he's worth a chance to follow up at the possible expense of Take Heart, who landed a big race at Goodwood last time. This Songisforyou is another player.

This longer trip may help to bring out the best in THIS SONGISFORYOU, third in the valuable Mile Handicap at the Galway festival

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.
