13:30 Fontwell Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 22f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
4 1st (4) (0.4/1 +60%) Dynamic Kate	0.4 0.4/1(+60%)	(4) Dynamic Kate 0.4/1, Showed much improved form to finally get off the mark in 9-runner handicap hurdle (7/2) over C&D last month and backed it up with a solid effort in second at Worcester. Should go well again.
2 2nd (2) (18/1 -29%) Barely Famous	18 18/1(-29%)	(2) Barely Famous 18/1, Uttoxeter maiden winner last summer, but bought cheaply out of Nicky Henderson's stable and well held for Joe Ponting. Now starts out for another new yard with something to prove.
7 3rd (7) (66/1 -32%) Kalaya	66 66/1(-32%)	(7) Kalaya 66/1, Limited impact on Flat/over hurdles and hard to fancy following a poor recent run on the level. Cheekpieces are back on.
6 4th (6) (25/1 -150%) Baby Sham	25 25/1(-150%)	(6) Baby Sham 25/1, Modest Flat AW winner but a poor maiden handicap hurdler.
1 5th (1) (6/1 +8%) Tara Niece	6 6/1(+8%)	(1) Tara Niece 6/1, Modest hurdler who was in reasonable form prior to unseating in a handicap at Worcester on chasing debut. Not discounted back in this sphere.
3 6th (3) (9/1 -125%) Sweet Moon	9 9/1(-125%)	(3) Sweet Moon 9/1, Runner-up in a point and has shown something to work on over hurdles, shaping as if better for the run when fifth in a novice at Worcester on stable debut last time. Now tongue tied for handicap switch. Interesting.
8 7th (8) (9/1 +0%) Le Mur	9 9/1(+0%)	(8) Le Mur 9/1, Left Fergal O'Brien after one run and little to shout about in 4 starts for present stable, only fourth at Stratford last time. This trip should suit, though.

13:45 York Stakes (Class 3) 5f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
5 1st (5) (4/1 -33%) Squealer	4 4/1(-33%)	(5) Squealer 4/1, Mehmas gelding who was well backed and showed plenty when close-up third on debut in Ripon novice (5f) early last month. Improved faced with stiff task when sixth in listed contest here 2 weeks ago and he's entitled to be in the shake up.
1 2nd (1) (3.33/1 +52%) Dream For Gold	3.33 3.33/1(+52%)	(1) Dream For Gold 3.33/1, U S Navy Flag colt who showed more than on first 2 starts when second of 9 in maiden (12/1) at Ayr (5.5f, good to soft) 41 days ago, impressing in how he travelled. Drop to 5f will hold no fears and he can get involved.
3 3rd (3) (9/1 +59%) Seantrabh	9 9/1(+59%)	(3) Seantrabh 9/1, Foaled March 21. 10,000 gns yearling, £40,000 2-y-o, Tasleet colt. Dam, 5f winner, half-sister to smart 5f/6f winner Fort Del Oro out of useful 2-y-o 5f (Queen Mary Stakes) winner Gilded. Bred to be speedy so interesting if market vibes proved positive.
6 4th (6) (20/1 -25%) Storm Fox	20 20/1(-25%)	(6) Storm Fox 20/1, Foaled May 9. €125,000 yearling, Bungle Inthejungle filly. Sister to smart 2-y-o 5f winner Rumble Inthejungle and half-sister to 3 winners, including useful winner up to 7f Great Prospector. Newcomer to note.
4 5th (4) (1/1 -20%) Silencer	1 1/1(-20%)	(4) Silencer 1/1, Still looking for his first success but he ran right up to his best and looked likely winner when fourth in big-field nursery (6f) at the Ebor Meeting 18 days ago, no extra late on. The one to beat dropped back in grade.
2 6th (2) (14/1 -56%) Jamie Bond	14 14/1(-56%)	(2) Jamie Bond 14/1, Zoustar colt. Cost plenty at the breeze-ups and he's shown promise amidst greenness in a couple of maiden/novice events to date. Still, nurseries may be more his bag in due course.
7 7th (7) (150/1 -50%) Talented	150 150/1(-50%)	(7) Talented 150/1, Once-raced maiden. Eighth of 9 in minor event (22/1) at this course (5f, good to soft) on debut in May, racing off the pace and labouring halfway. This should reveal more.

14:05 Fontwell Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 18f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (1.38/1 +27%) Midnights Legacy	1.38 1.38/1(+27%)	(1) Midnights Legacy 1.38/1, Dual winner over hurdles last season, landing an uncompetitive 4-runner contest at Ludlow in March. Better than ever when scoring on the Flat at Epsom in June but needs to shrug off a lesser effort at Newmarket since. Respected back over timber today.
3 2nd (3) (18/1 +10%) Glimpse Of Gold	18 18/1(+10%)	(3) Glimpse Of Gold 18/1, Completed hat-trick from April to June, the third win coming in a 7-runner event at Stratford. Bounced back from a lesser effort when fifth at Worcester 12 days ago but he looks too high in the weights for now.
4 3rd (4) (4/1 +0%) Cogital	4 4/1(+0%)	(4) Cogital 4/1, Capitalised on a drop in grade to record a career best in this sphere at Newton Abbot in April and having since added a couple of Flat wins to his tally, he's fancied to be bang there from a 7 lb higher mark.
6 4th (6) (9/1 +36%) Nazwa	9 9/1(+36%)	(6) Nazwa 9/1, Showed promise initially over hurdles and, on the back of a wind op/fitting of cheekpieces, improved to land back-to-back Huntingdon handicaps at up to 20.6f in May. Disappointed when well held at Worcester since but has been given a break and blinkers are the choice of headgear today.
5 5th (5) (3.33/1 +26%) Technological	3.33 3.33/1(+26%)	(5) Technological 3.33/1, Hadn't really fired since scoring at Exeter in April but having dropped to his last winning mark, looked back on-song after 8 weeks off (albeit worried out of things) when runner-up over C&D 17 days ago. Up 3 lb for that near-miss.
2 6th (2) (10/1 -150%) Sofia's Rock	10 10/1(-150%)	(2) Sofia's Rock 10/1, Suited by sharp 2m at Market Rasen when notching a third win of 2022 in a seller by 24 lengths just over 3 weeks ago. Has since left Dan Skelton for £13,500 and has leading claims if able to translate that form back in handicap company.

14:20 York Handicap (Class 3) 6f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (6/1 +0%) Lucky Man	6 6/1(+0%)	(3) Lucky Man 6/1, Dual 6f AW scorer this spring and has proved his effectiveness on turf since, producing 2 good efforts when runner-up on both outings over C&D. Only beaten a neck here last time so could be involved once more.
9 2nd (9) (6.5/1 -63%) Aphelios	6.5 6.5/1(-63%)	(9) Aphelios 6.5/1, Progressive sort who went one better than on his stable debut when justifying support at Carlisle in first-time cheekpieces 10 days ago, getting the better of Another Investment. Not dismissed lightly in his current form.
1 3rd (1) (6.5/1 -63%) Aleezdancer	6.5 6.5/1(-63%)	(1) Aleezdancer 6.5/1, Benefited from the drop back in trip when opening his account for the season in handicap at Ripon (6f) a month ago, having a bit in hand. Major player with more to offer now sprinting again.
4 4th (4) (5/1 +38%) Azure Blue	5 5/1(+38%)	(4) Azure Blue 5/1, Landed 6f Hamilton handicap in June and, following a pair of in-the-frame efforts, resumed winning ways with a career best at Newmarket in July. Can give another good account.
7 5th (7) (3.2/1 +4%) Pink Crystal	3.2 3.2/1(+4%)	(7) Pink Crystal 3.2/1, Successful on 3 of her first 4 starts this year and, upped in grade, ran creditably when runner-up here dropped down to 5f for the first time 18 days ago. Shortlisted with the return to 6f to suit.
8 6th (8) (18/1 -29%) Another Investment	18 18/1(-29%)	(8) Another Investment 18/1, Soon back to form when runner-up for the third time this year at Carlisle 10 days ago. Cheekpieces now reached for as he tries to find the improvement required to gain his first handicap success.
5 7th (5) (9/1 +55%) Parisiac	9 9/1(+55%)	(5) Parisiac 9/1, Career best when winning handicap at Doncaster (6f) in July, but never managed to threaten at Thirsk next time having raced widest of all. Needs to get back on track.
2 8th (2) (8/1 +20%) The Organiser	8 8/1(+20%)	(2) The Organiser 8/1, Set stiff task in listed race on return and not discredited from a tough opening handicap mark when fifth of 9 at Windsor in June. Needs to find more on first run for yard after leaving Joseph Tuite.
14 9th (14) (33/1 +18%) The Dunkirk Lads	33 33/1(+18%)	(14) The Dunkirk Lads 33/1, Has remained in good heart since a decisive handicap win at Nottingham (6f) in June, not seen to best effect at Chester last time having been slowly away. Can give his running again.
11 10th (11) (28/1 +15%) Bay Breeze	28 28/1(+15%)	(11) Bay Breeze 28/1, Won twice at Ripon earlier in the season, but has found it tougher at a higher level at other venues since then. Third on his last 2 starts and may just find others stronger again.
10 11th (10) (100/1 -52%) Melayu Kingdom	100 100/1(-52%)	(10) Melayu Kingdom 100/1, Having returned to form from out of the blue when third at Chester (6f) in July, has gone the wrong way again since. Blinkers now tried but others more persuasive.
13 12th (13) (66/1 -32%) Woodlands Charm	66 66/1(-32%)	(13) Woodlands Charm 66/1, Has won 3 times this year, with her latest success coming at Catterick (6f) in July. However, followed a below-par effort with a worse one at Pontefract 21 days ago.
12 13th (12) (33/1 -83%) Fast And Loose	33 33/1(-83%)	(12) Fast And Loose 33/1, In first-time cheekpieces, off the mark in 3-runner minor event at Catterick (6f) in July. Backed that effort up when second in handicap at Pontefract last month, just failing having been poorly drawn.

14:40 Fontwell Handicap Chase (Class 5) 22f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (1/1 +20%) Midnight Jewel	1 1/1(+20%)	(1) Midnight Jewel 1/1, Has won 4 of his last 6 starts over hurdles, the latest at Worcester (20f) in July. Encouraging second on chase debut back at that venue last month (jumped soundly in main) and he's a big player with more to come.
2 2nd (2) (2.25/1 -13%) Easy Bucks	2.25 2.25/1(-13%)	(2) Easy Bucks 2.25/1, Improved for the switch to chasing in 2020, winning pair of 3m handicaps at Uttoxeter. Seen only twice last year but confirmed he retains plenty of ability on back of 14 months off when second in 6-runner Perth handicap 22 days ago. Not discounted.
5 3rd (5) (9/1 +36%) Snug As A Bug	9 9/1(+36%)	(5) Snug As A Bug 9/1, 7-y-o mare who went through a good spell this time last year, opening her account in a low-grade handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot. Fairly low-key return to action in 2 starts this summer and more needed now switched to chasing.
3 4th (3) (6/1 +33%) Moans Cross	6 6/1(+33%)	(3) Moans Cross 6/1, Standout effort in 4 starts last term when taking this race from a 6 lb lower mark and back to that sort of form when close third on return to action at Newton Abbot (21f) in June. Somewhat typically failed to build on that at Stratford in July but claims if back on-song.
4 5th (4) (18/1 -80%) Duneomeno	18 18/1(-80%)	(4) Duneomeno 18/1, Showed much improved form when off the mark on chase/handicap debut at Ludlow (2m) in February. Disappointing since, always behind at Stratford (19.5f) in July.
6 6th (6) (66/1 -313%) Oborne Lady	66 66/1(-313%)	(6) Oborne Lady 66/1, Offered little in handful of starts on Flat/over fences during 2020 and, following a lengthy absence, she again showed nothing when distant last of 12 on AW at Kempton (2m) 4 weeks ago.

14:55 York Listed (Class 1) 6f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (1.75/1 +30%) Gale Force Maya	1.75 1.75/1(+30%)	(7) Gale Force Maya 1.75/1, Progressed into a smart sprinter this year, winning 3 competitive 6f handicaps, including 2 here. Runner-up in a similar event at Pontefract 3 weeks ago and is the clear pick on form.
8 2nd (8) (3.5/1 -17%) Primo Bacio	3.5 3.5/1(-17%)	(8) Primo Bacio 3.5/1, Smart filly at her best. Turned in best effort of the year when 2 lengths fourth of 9 to Jumby in Hungerford Stakes (22/1) at Newbury (7f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Impressive winner of a listed event here as a 3-y-o and considered back down in class/trip.
9 3rd (9) (12/1 -33%) Ventura Diamond	12 12/1(-33%)	(9) Ventura Diamond 12/1, Bombed out on her Haydock reappearance in May but back to her useful best when third in listed race at Chester 5 weeks ago. Any rain would increase her chance.
5 4th (5) (7.5/1 -88%) Prisoner's Dilemma	7.5 7.5/1(-88%)	(5) Prisoner's Dilemma 7.5/1, Recorded fourth win of the year in handicap at the Curragh 3 weeks ago, taking his form to another level in the process. Good second at same track when tried at this level in June and should go well again.
4 5th (4) (12/1 +14%) Lampang	12 12/1(+14%)	(4) Lampang 12/1, Gelded and in fine form this term, bagging 6f handicaps at Ayr and Pontefract. Good third in 5f Ascot handicap last month but needs to shrug off a below-par run here 2 weeks ago.
2 6th (2) (6/1 +40%) Blackrod	6 6/1(+40%)	(2) Blackrod 6/1, Winning return at Newmarket in April but below par in 2 top-end handicaps since (for new yard latest). Bit to find in first-time headgear.
6 7th (6) (9/1 +10%) Pure Dreamer	9 9/1(+10%)	(6) Pure Dreamer 9/1, Progressive 4-y-o who made it 4 wins from 5 starts in 2022 when leading late on in a Newmarket handicap 6 weeks ago. More will be needed now stepping up in class but it's dangerous to rule out further improvement the way he's progressed.
3 8th (3) (12/1 +14%) Judicial	12 12/1(+14%)	(3) Judicial 12/1, Multiple listed/Group 3 winner. Still proved he's capable of smart form when runner-up off 102 in handicap at Ascot last month but more needed still here.

15:15 Fontwell Conditions Hurdle (Class 4) 18f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
5 1st (5) (9/1 +18%) Mr Freedom	9 9/1(+18%)	(5) Mr Freedom 9/1, Modest maiden on the Flat. 16 lengths third of 7 to Graffiti on hurdles debut at this C&D (good, 6/1) 17 days ago, looking badly in need of experience. Others are easier to fancy after that performance.
6 2nd (6) (33/1 +18%) Miss Fedora	33 33/1(+18%)	(6) Miss Fedora 33/1, 2,500 gns 3-y-o, Helmet filly. Dam runner-up in maiden sole start on Flat. Not an obvious type on paper.
1 3rd (1) (1.88/1 +37%) Graffiti	1.88 1.88/1(+37%)	(1) Graffiti 1.88/1, Fair maiden on the Flat and off the mark in this sphere at the second attempt in a 7-runner juvenile hurdle at this C&D (good, 7/4) 17 days ago. That race was weak but he clearly knows what is required for this job and is a player.
4 4th (4) (1.5/1 +81%) Executive Pool	1.5 1.5/1(+81%)	(4) Executive Pool 1.5/1, Fair Flat winner, making jumps debut. Looked a bit rusty when third of 6 in handicap (5/2) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 20 days ago. Not ruled out on first start in this sphere.
2 5th (2) (3.5/1 -75%) Mutara	3.5 3.5/1(-75%)	(2) Mutara 3.5/1, Off mark at Stratford in July and probably ran at least as well in defeat when second of 4 there (16.3f, good) 13 days ago. Sets the standard.

15:30 York Handicap (Class 3) 6f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (4.5/1 +31%) Secret Angel	4.5 4.5/1(+31%)	(7) Secret Angel 4.5/1, Made the most of her experience to land 5.8f Carlisle maiden last month but not up to a tougher assignment when mid-field in the Premier Yearling Stakes over C&D 17 days ago. May well take a step forward now heading into handicaps.
4 2nd (4) (3.5/1 -5%) Signora Camacho	3.5 3.5/1(-5%)	(4) Signora Camacho 3.5/1, All the rage in the betting and improved to get off the mark in impressive fashion on second start in nurseries at Ayr in July. Well enough treated to follow up at Chelmsford last month and she's fancied to go very close in hat-trick bid.
3 3rd (3) (2.25/1 +0%) Dare To Hope	2.25 2.25/1(+0%)	(3) Dare To Hope 2.25/1, Has made a good start, winning at Nottingham (5f) on debut and runner-up in 6f Ripon novice and C&D nursery under this rider. Ran well to hit the frame in the Premier Yearling Stakes over C&D last month and he's high on the shortlist.
1 4th (1) (6.5/1 +28%) Paddy's Day	6.5 6.5/1(+28%)	(1) Paddy's Day 6.5/1, Knew his job when making a winning debut in 6f novice full of newcomers at Windsor in May and mid-field in Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot next start. Below that level on handicap debut at Goodwood just over 5 weeks ago so improvement required.
6 5th (6) (8/1 +33%) Family Ties	8 8/1(+33%)	(6) Family Ties 8/1, Put her experience to good use to score at Haydock in June but has failed to make much of a splash up in grade on both subsequent starts. One to look out for on this first start in a nursery.
5 6th (5) (11/1 +0%) Maggie's Tern	11 11/1(+0%)	(5) Maggie's Tern 11/1, Improved on debut form when runner-up in a maiden at Leicester in July but was outclassed in the most valuable maiden of the year at this track (7f) just over a fortnight ago. Should be able to make more impact today on nursery debut.
2 7th (2) (8.5/1 -6%) King's Crown	8.5 8.5/1(-6%)	(2) King's Crown 8.5/1, Put experience to good use when off the mark at the fourth attempt in Thirsk maiden (6f) in May. Stiff tasks in the Coventry/July Stakes subsequently and not disgraced in Premier Yearling Stakes over C&D 17 days ago. Market check advised on handicap debut.

Form	Odds	Runs
6 1st (6) (1.75/1 +42%) Girlofmydreams	1.75 1.75/1(+42%)	(6) Girlofmydreams 1.75/1, Well-related 5-y-o who made a winning start in bumpers before facing stiff task in Grade 2 at Aintree. Showed aptitude for hurdling when fourth in maiden at Worcester 40 days ago. Should improve.
2 2nd (2) (1.75/1 +13%) Call Me Tara	1.75 1.75/1(+13%)	(2) Call Me Tara 1.75/1, Modest form in bumpers, but appealed as the type to do better over obstacles and duly made a winning hurdles debut in a Worcester maiden in July. Can progress from that effort to defy a penalty.
1 3rd (1) (16/1 -14%) Bolberry Down	16 16/1(-14%)	(1) Bolberry Down 16/1, Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Mr Jack (2m-2½m winner) and offered something to work on when fourth of 8 in maiden hurdle at this C&D on debut 17 days ago. Needs to build on that effort.
3 4th (3) (12/1 -85%) Retrospect	12 12/1(-85%)	(3) Retrospect 12/1, Fair stayer on the level. Stepped up on hurdling/stable debut when second in a Huntingdon maiden, but ran poorly after 3 months off (had wind op) at Worcester 18 days ago. Could do better with that run behind him.
7 \|PU\| (7) (4/1 -45%) Missfit	4 4/1(-45%)	(7) Missfit 4/1, Failed to complete on first 3 hurdles starts, but has finished runner-up in maidens on her last 2 outings. Avoided mistakes at Worcester (20f) on latest outing in May and can give her running again.
5 \|PU\| (5) (33/1 +0%) Keeper	33 33/1(+0%)	(5) Keeper 33/1, Fair form on Flat (stays 1½m) for Roger Charlton in 2021, but has lost his way this year for new yard. Fared no better tried hurdling at Southwell in July, finding little. Has had a wind op since.
4 \|PU\| (4) (150/1 -275%) Doonbeg Farmer	150 150/1(-275%)	(4) Doonbeg Farmer 150/1, Has been struggling for form on the Flat, showing little in Jersey this summer before finishing down the field on his stable debut at Lingfield 15 days ago. Best watched in hood for his hurdling bow.

16:05 York Handicap (Class 4) 16f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (3/1 +40%) Atacama Desert	3 3/1(+40%)	(7) Atacama Desert 3/1, Had been shaping up well prior to a cosy success at Haydock a month ago. Hasn't had much racing, so open to further improvement if he gets the longer trip. One to consider.
11 2nd (11) (2.75/1 +8%) The Predictor	2.75 2.75/1(+8%)	(11) The Predictor 2.75/1, Confirmed previous promise when off the mark at Thirsk (2m) last time, overcoming a pace bias. This race should play to his strengths, and he's a major player.
10 3rd (10) (8.5/1 +29%) Ghadbbaan	8.5 8.5/1(+29%)	(10) Ghadbbaan 8.5/1, Fair performer who has lacked consistency since scoring at Doncaster on his reappearance. Down the field at this track last time and has had a wind op since. Tricky to make a strong case for despite the refitting of cheekpieces.
5 4th (5) (14/1 -17%) Justus	14 14/1(-17%)	(5) Justus 14/1, French maiden winner. Best run in handicaps for new yard when second over 2m at Kempton in March. Hasn't fired since, though, and others are more persuasive.
6 5th (6) (8.5/1 +6%) Arabescato	8.5 8.5/1(+6%)	(6) Arabescato 8.5/1, Won 4 times in 2021 and ran well from 5 lb out of the weights when fourth of 14 in a better-quality handicap than he usually contests at Goodwood last time. He's reliable and should continue in form back down in trip with top apprentice booked.
4 6th (4) (5/1 +64%) Real Terms	5 5/1(+64%)	(4) Real Terms 5/1, Lightly raced for a 5-y-o but, having landed her first two starts of the campaign, this trip seemed to stretch her at Haydock last time. Stamina a big concern again.
1 7th (1) (12/1 +52%) Dance To Paris	12 12/1(+52%)	(1) Dance To Paris 12/1, C&D winner. Ran up to best when winning 7-runner handicap (5/1) at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) in July but wasn't in the same form at Kempton subsequently.
12 8th (12) (50/1 -25%) Hellenista	50 50/1(-25%)	(12) Hellenista 50/1, Scored at Redcar in June but hasn't been firing lately. Others make more appeal.
13 9th (13) (22/1 +12%) Tommaso	22 22/1(+12%)	(13) Tommaso 22/1, Fair hurdles winner who was in reasonable form on the level before a blip at Beverley 24 days ago. Seems likely to bounce back.
9 10th (9) (33/1 -136%) Riggsby	33 33/1(-136%)	(9) Riggsby 33/1, Back on his last winning mark and shaped better than the bare result suggests when eighth at Carlisle last time, so not a forlorn hope.
8 11th (8) (22/1 -10%) Oasis Prince	22 22/1(-10%)	(8) Oasis Prince 22/1, Temperamental sort who scored at Catterick in July and wasn't discredited when fourth at Thirsk last time. Might find this a bit too competitive, though.

16:25 Fontwell Handicap Chase (Class 4) 26f - 3 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (3.5/1 +22%) Nelsons Rock	3.5 3.5/1(+22%)	(2) Nelsons Rock 3.5/1, Fair winning hurdler who made a successful chase debut at Newton Abbot (25.7f) in June, jumping soundly. However, he's not been in anything like the same form in 2 starts there since and bounce back called for returning from 6 weeks off.
3 2nd (3) (1.25/1 -14%) Call Of The Loon	1.25 1.25/1(-14%)	(3) Call Of The Loon 1.25/1, Veteran who was successful just once from 26 starts under Rules in Ireland but proved a different proposition when running out a convincing winner on yard debut at Stratford (27.5f) last month. Possible he can build on that and well worth considering.
1 \|PU\| (1) (1.38/1 +21%) Drumlee Watar	1.38 1.38/1(+21%)	(1) Drumlee Watar 1.38/1, Successful 4 times over hurdles in 2021 and, having showed much more than previously over fences at Plumpton in March, he backed that up when landing a Worcester novice (23f) in July, battling well. Can go well again back in a handicap.

16:40 York Handicap (Class 4) 10f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
6 1st (6) (8.5/1 -31%) Eeetee	8.5 8.5/1(-31%)	(6) Eeetee 8.5/1, 4-y-o who improved on recent efforts from sliding mark when taking 6-runner handicap at Redcar (10f, good to firm, 5/1) 8 days ago, his change of pace proving decisive. Claims if replicating that back in this stronger company.
10 2nd (10) (5.5/1 -38%) Mr Big Stuff	5.5 5.5/1(-38%)	(10) Mr Big Stuff 5.5/1, Maiden who ran creditably in a couple of early-season handicaps at around this trip, not seen to best effect when fifth in London Gold Cup in May. Better than bare result would indicate both starts since and he's not one to write off in refitted hood having been gelded.
1 3rd (1) (10/1 +50%) First Impression	10 10/1(+50%)	(1) First Impression 10/1, In good nick on Flat and over hurdles earlier in the year and went well for a long way when seventh of 18 in handicap (13/2) at this course (11.8f, good) in May. Absent since but he's lurking on a handy mark returned to this shorter trip.
4 4th (4) (22/1 +12%) The Flying Ginger	22 22/1(+12%)	(4) The Flying Ginger 22/1, Shaped well when third in Pontefract listed event in June but has been below her best in handicaps since, albeit not seen to best effect having been dropped out in a steadily-run affair at Hamilton 9 days ago. Still, others make more appeal.
2 5th (2) (9/1 +44%) Highwaygrey	9 9/1(+44%)	(2) Highwaygrey 9/1, Confirmed promise of previous run when opening account for the season with a bit to spare at Ayr (10f) early on last month. Not disgraced when close-up seventh of 14 at Newcastle (10f) 10 days ago and each-way claims in an open-looking affair.
11 6th (11) (7.5/1 +17%) Forgivable	7.5 7.5/1(+17%)	(11) Forgivable 7.5/1, Steadily gone the right way and showed a good attitude to open his account at Redcar (10f) in July. Good third in competitive Haydock handicap next time and raced keener than ideal when fourth of 5 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Not ruled out.
14 7th (14) (3.33/1 +33%) Samuel Spade	3.33 3.33/1(+33%)	(14) Samuel Spade 3.33/1, Fairly low-mileage 3-y-o who showed improved form in line with step up in trip when winning 8-runner handicap at Haydock (10.4f, good) 4 weeks ago, leading inside final 1f and staying on well. Runner-up/third have both tasted success since and he's of firm interest.
8 8th (8) (22/1 +12%) Mr Carpenter	22 22/1(+12%)	(8) Mr Carpenter 22/1, Improver in 2020, his 2 victories coming here (latterly in this over C&D). However, seen only 4 times since, easy to back and some way below best at Ripon (9.8f) 5 weeks ago.
15 9th (15) (12/1 -9%) Fourth Time Lucky	12 12/1(-9%)	(15) Fourth Time Lucky 12/1, Maiden who has largely performed with credit in handicaps over shorter this campaign, 5 lengths fifth of 9 over 7f here in July. Takes a marked step up in trip now.
13 10th (13) (50/1 +0%) Carlos Felix	50 50/1(+0%)	(13) Carlos Felix 50/1, In good form on AW/turf earlier this year but losing run is mounting up and recent efforts haven't been anywhere near so inspiring.
9 11th (9) (14/1 -65%) Shaladar	14 14/1(-65%)	(9) Shaladar 14/1, Improved model this term, off the mark at Hamilton (8.3f) in June and stepping up further when going in again at that venue in July. Just failed to get up at Leicester (8.2f) 17 days ago and not discounted in this form now tackling longer trip.
3 12th (3) (11/1 +8%) Arch Moon	11 11/1(+8%)	(3) Arch Moon 11/1, Built on reappearance effort when bolting up in class 5 company at Haydock (10f) in June. That wasn't missed by the assessor but he's ran with credit both starts on turf/AW subsequently. Not out of things.
12 13th (12) (18/1 -50%) Havana Party	18 18/1(-50%)	(12) Havana Party 18/1, Latest win at Hamilton (9f) in June. 13/2, creditable 1½ lengths second of 7 to Highwaygrey in handicap at Ayr (10f, good) 29 days ago, no match for winner. 4 lb better off with that rival now and each-way claims in present groove.
7 14th (7) (28/1 -12%) Dulla Bhatti	28 28/1(-12%)	(7) Dulla Bhatti 28/1, Hamilton novice winner (at 6f) last summer who has hit the frame in a couple of handicaps at up to 1m earlier this term. Strictly below best in recent outings though and step up to 10f needs to have positive effect now.
16 15th (16) (66/1 -65%) Hooflepuff	66 66/1(-65%)	(16) Hooflepuff 66/1, Three-time winner on AW for Brian Ellison during 2021. Operating a notch below best around the turn of the year and probably best watched now starting out for new yard.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (0.73/1 +79%) Emzara	0.73 0.73/1(+79%)	(1) Emzara 0.73/1, Ridden too aggressively when down the field at Aintree 10 months ago but, having been given some time off/wind op, there could be more to come for a stable that does well in this sphere.
3 2nd (3) (7/1 +36%) Sam's Amour	7 7/1(+36%)	(3) Sam's Amour 7/1, Black Sam Bellamy mare. Closely related to 2 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/chaser Seaston Spirit. Interesting newcomer on paper.
4 3rd (4) (8/1 -220%) Sister Sophie	8 8/1(-220%)	(4) Sister Sophie 8/1, Fair form on 2 of her 3 outings last season, which would give her a big chance, but she does have a lengthy absence to overcome.
2 4th (2) (14/1 -100%) Petit Bijou	14 14/1(-100%)	(2) Petit Bijou 14/1, Related to numerous winners and finished with running left when fourth in a bumper at Stratford 112 days ago. One to consider with improvement on the cards.
5 5th (5) (4.5/1 -80%) Spy Lady	4.5 4.5/1(-80%)	(5) Spy Lady 4.5/1, Winning pointer who was disappointing at Stratford on Rules debut but, now tongue tied, she's well worth another chance to open her account in this discipline.
6 6th (6) (40/1 -43%) Astro Babe	40 40/1(-43%)	(6) Astro Babe 40/1, Half-sister to 3 winners but looked more of a long-term prospect when only sixth at Stratford first time out.
7 7th (7) (22/1 -10%) Ice De Pail	22 22/1(-10%)	(7) Ice De Pail 22/1, Cokoriko filly. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Darling Maltaix, stays 3m, and Conte Maltaix. Dam placed in French bumpers. Worth a market check.

17:15 York Handicap (Class 3) 5f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
8 1st (8) (16/1 -60%) Catch Cunningham	16 16/1(-60%)	(8) Catch Cunningham 16/1, Season looked like it had completely gone off the rails but he returned to form when 1¾ lengths third of 10 to Riversway in handicap at Chester (5.1f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Needs to back that up now.
12 2nd (12) (25/1 -14%) Sacred Jewel	25 25/1(-14%)	(12) Sacred Jewel 25/1, Made winning yard debut in 5f Leicester maiden in May and shaped as if needing run when sixth of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (5f, good, 14/1) 26 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Could go closer if building on that.
5 3rd (5) (5/1 +58%) Fast Response	5 5/1(+58%)	(5) Fast Response 5/1, Placed twice this summer before running bit below form when fourth of 8 in handicap (11/1) at Southwell (5f) 4 days ago. Looks fairly well summed up by mark at present, so others are preferred.
6 4th (6) (5/1 +29%) Mattice	5 5/1(+29%)	(6) Mattice 5/1, In fine heart of late, scoring at Doncaster before finishing a good second of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 10 days ago, just failing. Not taken lightly from another 2 lb higher.
1 5th (1) (9/1 +10%) Silky Wilkie	9 9/1(+10%)	(1) Silky Wilkie 9/1, 3 wins from 10 runs this year. Latest win at Haydock in August. 7/1, not beaten too far when creditable sixth of 11 in handicap at Sandown (5f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Not discounted.
4 6th (4) (10/1 -82%) Lullaby Bay	10 10/1(-82%)	(4) Lullaby Bay 10/1, Landed quickfire hat-trick in May but found her improvement halting when only 5½ lengths ninth of 10 to stablemate Guilded in listed race at Ayr (5f, good to soft) 78 days ago, disappointing with her finishing effort. Nevertheless, rates a leading player back in a handicap.
9 7th (9) (12/1 -20%) May Blossom	12 12/1(-20%)	(9) May Blossom 12/1, Produced a career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 8 days ago, showing good attitude to get up in dying strides. 2 lb rise is fair and she could go well again.
13 8th (13) (5.5/1 +45%) Frisky	5.5 5.5/1(+45%)	(13) Frisky 5.5/1, Won minor events at Leicester in July and has shaped encouragingly without being seen to best effect since, nearest finish when 1¾ lengths fourth of 10 to Riversway in handicap at Chester (5.1f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Player.
2 9th (2) (20/1 +20%) Sophie's Star	20 20/1(+20%)	(2) Sophie's Star 20/1, Latest win at Musselburgh in June. Offered little when fourteenth of 17 in handicap at this C&D (good) 18 days ago but did find herself poorly placed. Won't be inconvenienced by forecasted strong pace.
10 10th (10) (14/1 +13%) Mytilda	14 14/1(+13%)	(10) Mytilda 14/1, Nursery winner for Phillip Makin last term and shaped as if retaining ability after 13-month break when 2½ lengths fifth of 10 to Riversway in handicap (40/1) at Chester (5.1f, good to firm) 15 days ago. This looks tougher, though.
7 11th (7) (11/1 +0%) Texas Man	11 11/1(+0%)	(7) Texas Man 11/1, Latest win at Redcar in June. Quickly back on track when second of 7 in handicap (13/2) at Doncaster (5f, firm) 22 days ago. Solid place claims from same mark.
14 12th (14) (7.5/1 +0%) Riversway	7.5 7.5/1(+0%)	(14) Riversway 7.5/1, Won at Doncaster in July before producing a career best to follow up in 10-runner handicap at Chester (5.1f, good to firm) 15 days ago, keeping on well. Progressive and merits respect despite 6 lb rise.
3 13th (3) (25/1 -56%) Resilience	25 25/1(-56%)	(3) Resilience 25/1, Five wins from 18 Flat runs. 4 wins from 13 runs this year. Latest win at Windsor in June. 10/3, fifth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 4 days ago. Will need to improve to score in a contest this competitive.
11 14th (11) (80/1 +20%) Unfinishedsympathy	80 80/1(+20%)	(11) Unfinishedsympathy 80/1, Operating below best in the winter and has work to do on first run for yard after leaving Richard Spencer (also returning from 6-month break).
15 15th (15) (22/1 -38%) Glory Hallelujah	22 22/1(-38%)	(15) Glory Hallelujah 22/1, Has won at Thirsk and Ayr this season. Fourth of 7 in handicap (7/1) at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Visor back on. Something to find at this level.

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.
