13:25 Newbury Maiden (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

JUBA improved from first to second start when going well for a long way over C&D recently and, with normal improvement expected, he might be able to get off the mark on this occasion. A promising runner-up at Ayr on his penultimate outing, Haazeez is best judged on that form, while the well-bred Maelstrom is another to consider despite not showing much first time out at Haydock. Shameful and Wicket Keeper look to be the pick of the newcomers.

HAAZEEZ has been expensive to follow since his promising debut here but this looks a good opportunity in what is a weak maiden for the track. Belgrave offered something to work on at Kempton so must be respected for his excellent yard, with Shameful making the most appeal out of the newcomers.

This doesn't look the deepest of maidens by Newbury standards. HAAZEEZ returns from a break and his first two runs were promising.

Fast Track Harry

9
9/1(+25%)
(4) Fast Track Harry 9/1, Harry Angel half-brother to 5f/6f winner Olympic Eagle and 8.6f winner Olympic Quest. A debutant to monitor in the betting.
Out of a 5f winner on AW/turf who bred two winners for this yard; check the market.
1
2nd (1) Almeraq (13/2 -8%)
Almeraq

6.5
13/2(-8%)
(1) Almeraq 13/2, Dark Angel colt. Dam unraced half-sister to winner up to 6f Fairyland and 7f/1m winner Now Or Never (both smart). Newcomer from a top stable and would need considering should the betting suggest he's fancied.
Stellar pedigree laden with Group winners; very interesting newcomer for leading yard.
9
3rd (9) Spirit Of Farhh (7/2 -17%)
Spirit Of Farhh

3.5
7/2(-17%)
(9) Spirit Of Farhh 7/2, Plenty to like about his second of 10 on 6f Ascot debut (6f, good to soft) 14 days ago, just failing. Should improve and go well again
Unfancied for 6f Ascot debut but didn't flinch in a tight finish with a previous winner.

Phaedra

100
100/1(-203%)
(13) Phaedra 100/1, From a leading stable but no obvious short-term promise on her 7f Newmarket debut in July.
Pedigree points to her needing much longer trips; soon on the back foot on 7f debut.
7
7th (7) I Maximus (11/8 +21%)
I Maximus

1.375
11/8(+21%)
(7) I Maximus 11/8, Third on C&D debut in July and second at Kempton (6f) again 2 months later. Has gone off a well-backed favourite on both occasions, suggesting he's thought capable of even better. Bold show likely.
Beaten favourite both starts but shown plenty and ran up against a good prospect latest.
8
8th (8) Panama Black (40/1 -100%)
Panama Black

40
40/1(-100%)
(8) Panama Black 40/1, £35,000 Tamayuz colt. Half-brother to 2-y-o 7f/1m winner Styledome. The market should help guide to expectations with this one.
£35,000 yearling; lack of experience might tell but the betting can provide some clues.

Gesundheit

100

Signs of some ability on 6f debut; well adrift on soft ground since; handicaps soon.
10
10th (10) Summer Rain (150/1 -127%)
Summer Rain

150
150/1(-127%)
(10) Summer Rain 150/1, Ardad half-brother to several winners, including smart 1m-1½m winner Robin Hoods Bay and 2-y-o 6f winner Turbo Spirit. Stable not really known for first-time-out winners but worth a precautionary betting check
Nice pedigree but a late foal who will probably need time.
5
11th (5) Fire Flame (6/1 -50%)
Fire Flame

6
6/1(-50%)
(5) Fire Flame 6/1, Promising individual. Third of 11 in novice at Chelmsford (6f) 36 days ago. Should have more to offer.
Two fair efforts in defeat at 6f, on turf and AW; this galloping track should suit.
12
12th (12) Eazy On The Eye (125/1 -25%)
Eazy On The Eye

125
125/1(-25%)
(12) Eazy On The Eye 125/1, 2,000 gns Expert Eye filly. Half-sister to 6f-7f winner Thursday's Child. Not an obvious one but the stable has popped up with a long-priced 2-y-o winner here before.
April foal; will need to be useful to play a part on debut; yard had few 2yos run in 2024.
11
13th (11) Dragonfly In Amber (150/1 -200%)
Dragonfly In Amber

150
150/1(-200%)
(11) Dragonfly In Amber 150/1, Modest form at best in 2 runs. Outsider here.
Hinted at ability on 6f debut but lesser effort followed; best left until handicapping.

13:55 Newbury Maiden (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

This can go the way of FIRE FLAME, who was an encouraging third at Chelmsford last month in a race that has worked out very well in the interim. This track is likely to suit and he is preferred to Kempton second I Maximus, as well as Spirit Of Farhh, who ran a huge race on debut when narrowly denied at Ascot. Related to Group 1 winner Fairyland, Almeraq should be monitored for market support on his racecourse bow.

I MAXIMUS has let favourite backers down on a couple of occasions but there were still signs of greenness at Kempton and this evidently well-regarded colt is given one more chance. Spirit of Farhh rates an obvious danger after his promising opening effort at Ascot a fortnight ago. Fire Flame is another who looks capable of better, while Almeraq and Fast Track Harry are newcomers to monitor in the betting.

Almeraq is a choicely bred newcomer who needs a market check but SPIRIT OF FARHH gets the vote after his promising Ascot debut.

Beronia

6
6/1(+40%)

Form dipped when upped to 7f last month; now tongue tied; improvement required.

(9) Lovely Spirit 7/2, Put experience to good use when off the mark at the fourth attempt in maiden at Musselburgh last month, suited by the step up to 7f. Opening mark demands a bit more but that's entirely possible.
Made all to win comfortably on first 7f run last month (form franked); can do better.

Sunshine State

5
5/1(+44%)
(4) Sunshine State 5/1, Overcame unfavourable circumstances to make a winning debut at Chelmsford in June and not disgraced upped to listed company at Newmarket soon after. Took a step forward switched to nurseries when fourth of 16 at Glorious Goodwood but not in same form next time. This less competitive.
6f AW winner; ran well at Glorious Goodwood but less so at Newmarket latest; down in class.

4th (8) Cymbidium (2/1 +43%)
Cymbidium

2
2/1(+43%)
(8) Cymbidium 2/1, Big improvement when making a winning nursery debut at Thirsk 2 weeks ago, worth a bit extra too considering she lost some momentum just as the race was taking shape. Can defy 5 lb rise.
Strong finish to win a well-run 1m nursery at Thirsk a fortnight ago; drop to 7f a query.

5th (6) Who Wants Me (25/1 -213%)
Who Wants Me

25
25/1(-213%)
(6) Who Wants Me 25/1, Steadily progressive form, third of 5 in novice at this C&D (good) 39 days ago, but opening mark looks harsh enough.
Latest 3rd over C&D offered hope of better; likely improver now handicapping.

6th (1) Scatter Penny (7/2 +30%)
Scatter Penny

3.5
7/2(+30%)

Lost her unbeaten record at York last month; now tongue tied; should stay; contender.
5

Larchill Lass

12
12/1(+25%)
(5) Larchill Lass 12/1, Winner of 5f maiden at Carlisle in May but just respectable efforts at best since. Vulnerable up in trip.
5f win in May on soft ground; not progressed since; new trip needs to spark extra.
10

Cushty

33
33/1(-230%)

Improved for the step up to 7f when a strong-finishing 3rd at Newcastle latest; unexposed.
7
9th (7) Suzette (22/1 -267%)
Suzette

22
22/1(-267%)
(7) Suzette 22/1, Zoustar filly who was much improved to defy what looked a stiff opening mark at Carlise 3 weeks ago. Must be respected up 4 lb.
Cosy win on h'cap debut at Carlisle (7f, soft); that form not worked out but she won well.

14:03 Ayr Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

SCATTER PENNY was dropped a generous 4lb after her nursery debut at York having won both starts prior at Nottingham and Pontefract. The daughter of Elarqam was inconvenienced by a slow start and is worth another chance, especially with the step up in trip and the addition of a tongue-tie likely to help. Cymbidium won on her nursery debut at Thirsk earlier in the month and has to be respected off a 5lb higher mark. Suzette is another to note.

CYMBIDIUM showed much improved form to land a punt on nursery bow at Thirsk 2 weeks ago and remains one to keep on the right side of. Suzette is another who took a big step forward when making a winning handicap debut at Carlisle so rates the main threat ahead of Lovely Spirit.

A competitive nursery but LOVELY SPIRIT's Musselburgh win was well franked at the weekend and she can follow up.

Shakeyatailfeather

2.25

(6) Shakeyatailfeather 9/4, Made the frame first 3 completed starts over hurdles and ran creditably on handicap debut when sixth at Kelso back in May, though her finishing effort arguably didn't match the way she travelled. Back in a maiden and holds leading claims provided she's ready to roll.
Fair form over 2m in the spring; has strong claims here if suited by the step up in trip.

Failed to back that up in France but more like it this summer, just unable to go quick enough to draw the sting out of a talented Flat performer at Worcester (16f, good) 3 months ago. In the mix.

14:10 Newton Abbot Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 22f Race Class Flow

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

TRIBAL GLORY made a pleasing start to life over hurdles when filling the runner-up spot over an extended 2m2f here last month and, with progress likely now upped in trip, Fergal O'Brien's six-year-old is fancied to go one better. Shakeyatailfeather was far from disgraced in a warm class 2 handicap at Kelso in May and she's of clear interest back in maiden company. Authoceltic is most appealing of the remainder.

TRIBAL GLORY shaped encouragingly sent hurdling after a full year off when finding just one too strong here last month and, with further improvement on the cards, Fergal O'Brien's 6-y-o is fancied to go one better at the expense of the returning Shakeyatailfeather, who sets the standard on her runner-up efforts back in the spring. Authoceltic can fill out third.

Tribal Glory is respected but SHAKEYATAILFEATHER ran well in a competitive handicap in the spring and her form is more persuasive.

14:15 Downpatrick Maiden Hurdle 18f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

OMNISCIENT looks a likely sort for Gordon Elliott and Jack Kennedy who have a strong record at this racetrack. This five-year-old gelding has been placed in two of his four maiden hurdles and winners have come out of the race that he finished fourth in at Punchestown in June. Tell Nobody Nothin showed ability in third on debut at Bellewstown and is entitled to improve from that outing. Newtown Rambler is a point-to-point graduate who starts out on his track career for Henry de Bromhead. He could have a role to play at the business end.

Henry de Bromhead has his team in cracking order at present so winning-pointer NEWTOWN RAMBLER has to be of obvious interest on his Rules debut, especially as standard-setter Omniscient is starting to look expensive to follow. Tell Nobody Nothin made an encouraging start to his career at Bellewstown in April and is also feared with improvement on the cards.

If forgiven a weak finishing effort when fourth at Punchestown in June, OMNISCIENT has good credentials for a race of this standard.

Would need to be well above average to make a winning debut.

14:25 Newbury Stakes (Class 2) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Trainer Sir Michael Stoute may have announced his retirement, but he will still have a major part to play in the early development of what looks like a high-class filly in ANNA SWAN. Handed a 3lb penalty for an impressive debut success at Yarmouth, the daughter of Almanzor is entitled to have plenty more improvement forthcoming and she may have too many gears for Cathedral, who wasn't for catching on debut at Lingfield over 6f. Saariselka is another to note.

CATHEDRAL and Anna Swan both made sparkling winning debuts and are open to bundles of improvement, with the former narrowly preferred given the excellent form of her stable. Saariselka shouldn't be completely dismissed with the step up to 7f sure to bring about further progress.

Two fillies who were both impressive on their respective debuts clash in this with ANNA SWAN just preferred to Cathedral.

14:33 Ayr Handicap (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Bonnie's Boy has finished second on all three outings to date and is likely to play a leading role making his first start in a nursery. However, a chance is taken on LOVAT SCOUT bouncing back from his latest effort. A winner on debut at Thirsk, Karl Burke's colt had excuses when not appearing to handle the track at Ripon last month and he remains a colt full of potential. Hamilton winner Our Mighty Mo and Candy rate best of the rest.

BONNIE'S BOY is on the up and his form is solid, so he's fancied to defy a mark of 80 at the first attempt. Last-time-out winners Our Mighty Mo and Candy are the main threats.

Lovat Scout may do better back on a more conventional track but BONNIE'S BOY can cure his seconditis now switched to nurseries.

14:40 Newton Abbot Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

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

The form of ASIAN STAR's third in a Southwell bumper has worked out well and while she didn't live up to market expectations that day, this looks a good opportunity to make a successful beginning to life over timber. Hard As Nails must shoulder a penalty having won at Southwell in May. She has remained in good form since, though, and will again be aided by Jack Hogan's 3lb claim. Others to note include A Little Something and Pure Gold.

ASIAN STAR showed plenty of promise in a couple of bumpers during the spring and is taken to make a winning start over hurdles. Next on the list is Kitty Foyle, who arrives here on the back of a win on the Flat at Goodwood, while Hard As Nails should be in the mix and Pure Gold is another with possibilities.

Flat winner Kitty Foyle is respected but preference is for ASIAN STAR, who looked promising in two bumpers in the spring.

14:45 Downpatrick Handicap Hurdle 18f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

STEPS IN THE SAND won over C&D in July and has to be respected with that form franked. In all probability, the longer distance probably found her out when she was fourth on her latest visit to Downpatrick. British-raider Mary looks set to go off at the front and those tactics worked well in Stratford last month. Her trainer, Ian Williams, enjoyed a successful raid at Laytown on Monday. Bayou Belle arrives in a consistent vein of form and has been placed in her last four races over flights including at this venue in January. She is another threat.

BAYOU BELLE has been knocking at the door at Wexford in recent months and can deservedly get her head back in front. Steps In The Sand has thrived under both codes this summer and is second choice ahead of Mary, a winner at Stratford last month.

This looks quite open. STEPS IN THE SAND, a C&D winner who ran well on the Flat last time, is arguably the most appealing.

14:55 Newbury Handicap (Class 4) 7f  Race Class Flow

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

Green Icon arrives in search of a hat-trick of victories having backed up his Chelmsford maiden success with a smooth nursery debut win at Haydock earlier in the month. Although he is going the right way, a 7lb rise could prove too much and AEGEAN SEA may be the one to take advantage. The son of Kingman seemed to find a mile too far on his latest start at Haydock when hanging left in the closing stages, but the return to 7f and first-time cheekpieces could prove just the tonic. Mandana, Jr Climbs and Lakers head the remainder.

The suggestion is LAKERS, who opened his account at Ffos Las in July and confirmed that improvement shown when pulling clear with the winner at Beverley since. Now heading into handicaps, George Boughey's colt can double his tally at the expense of Green Icon, who is improving in leaps and bounds and arrives chasing a hat-trick. Gilet, Mandana and Cristo are a trio of others to consider too in what looks a seriously competitive nursery.

George Boughey still has LAKERS entered in the Royal Lodge and his defeat at Beverley doesn't look too shoddy an effort now.

(7) Uncle Don 8/1, Son of Oasis Dream who was much improved from debut and never stronger than at the line when landing 13-runner maiden at Beverley (5f, good, 7/2) 76 days ago, suited by the stiff finish. Likely there's more to come now connections pitch him up in class.
Took notable scalp of Big Mojo (Group 3 winner/Group 2 placed) at Beverley in early July.

(8) Coto De Caza 9/4, Sioux Nation filly has improved a chunk with each of her three runs, latterly an 11-runner conditions' stakes at Goodwood. Well in the mix now upped further in grade with prospect of more to come.
Clocked a good time at Goodwood; unexposed and she's in the Cheveley Park.

(5) King Of Light 28/1, Improved a little on back of being gelded when winning 5-runner Musselburgh novice (5f) in August. Similar form when midfield in 16-runner York novice (5f) 4 weeks ago but that effort suggests he needs to do more to play a lead role here.
Only won the once and limitations were exposed in a Listed race at York.
10
5th (10) Kaadi (11/2 +21%)
Kaadi

5.5
11/2(+21%)
(10) Kaadi 11/2, Raced only at 5f, winning a Windsor maiden in April. Proved most reliable in defeat subsequently, taking another small step forward when good 1½ lengths second of 6 to Aesterius in Prix d'Arenberg at Longchamp (5f, good to firm) 19 days ago, running on. Enters calculations.
Consistently performed to a smart level, especially last time in a French Group 3.
12

Pearl Of Windsor

22

(12) Pearl Of Windsor 22/1, Bred to be useful and having made it third time lucky at Sandown (5f) in August, she improved further and displayed a likeable attitude when winning 6-runner novice at Chepstow (5.1f, good to firm) 17 days ago. However, another with work to do now upped in grade.
Dual winner but she'd be receiving weight off a good few of these were this a handicap.

(3) Gold Star Hero 28/1, Easy to back but confirmed debut promise to open his account in 11-runner novice at Chelmsford City (6f) 36 days ago, running on. Up markedly in grade at this early stage but he does rate the type to do better again.
Made all for narrow success at Chelmsford but lots more required at this level.

8th (4) King's Call (12/1 +14%)
King's Call

12

(4) King's Call 12/1, Debut winner of 6f novice here in July and not disgraced in face of stiff tasks all 3 starts since, 4¾ lengths eighth of 10 to Aesterius in Flying Childers Stakes at Doncaster (5f, good, 22/1) 7 days ago. Drop in to listed company in his favour here.
Has his sights lowered this time but he doesn't look progressive.
9
9th (9) Educating Rita (22/1 -100%)
Educating Rita

22
22/1(-100%)
(9) Educating Rita 22/1, Belardo filly who is building up a solid profile, successful at Catterick/Hamilton earlier this year and produced another solid effort when second of 8 in nursery (4/1) at Beverley (5f, good) 26 days ago, short of room before running on. This tougher but suspicion we've yet to see the best of her.
Came up shy off a mark of 80 in her latest handicap and this is a big ask on that evidence.
13
10th (13) Sahara Dancer (22/1 +45%)
Sahara Dancer

22
22/1(+45%)
(13) Sahara Dancer 22/1, Bred to be sharp and pleasing start when a ready winner of a Chepstow maiden (6f) in August. Couldn't build on that when fourth of 9 in novice at Chelmsford (6f) 3 weeks ago and this demands a lot more now starting out for new stable.
Two runs over 6f; looks quick enough for 5f but probably needs a lower level than this.
11

(11) Lady Luzon 66/1, Consistent sort who doubled her tally at Chepstow (5f) and similar form when second of 7 in nursery (15/2) at Goodwood (6f, good) 17 days ago. However, she appears to have plenty on her plate now tackling this sort of company.
Luckless second in a Goodwood nursery latest but this is a sharp rise in class.
6
12th (6) Lexington Blitz (22/1 -83%)
Lexington Blitz

22

(6) Lexington Blitz 22/1, Much improved from debut when winning 10-runner Windsor novice (5.1f) in August and improved a little more to defy a penalty in 4-runner novice at Chepstow (5f) 18 days ago, making all and easing clear. Could do better still.
Beat three rivals at Chepstow; going the right way but he's in a lot deeper this time.

Against The Wind

11
11/1(+31%)
(1) Against The Wind 11/1, Took well to AW and left previous form well behind when winning 9-runner 5f novice at Newcastle in June. Solid fifth of 20 in valuable sales' race at York (6f) 4 weeks ago, showing plenty of speed but more needed at this level returned to the minimum trip.
Good fifth of 20 in a sales race at York but others in here have achieved more.
2
14th (2) End Of Story (18/1 -80%)
End Of Story

18
18/1(-80%)
(2) End Of Story 18/1, Winner on debut in a Thirsk maiden (5f, soft) in June. Didn't progress immediately but back on track having been gelded when second of 8 in nursery (25/1) at York (6f, soft) 12 days ago. That looks solid form but another who needs to pull out more back up in class.
Better for being gelded when second on nursery debut at York; sharper test here favourable.

15:05 Ayr Listed (Class 1) 5f  Race Class Flow

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

COTO DE CAZA was an impressive winner when getting off the mark at the second time of asking at Beverley before stepping up on that effort when taking a conditions stakes race at Goodwood. The manner of that performance suggests she's well worth a crack at this prize. Kaadi's recent second at Longchamp was boosted by the winner following up in the Flying Childers at Doncaster last week and her consistency gives her an obvious chance. The class-dropping King's Call is noted too.

COTO DE CAZA is proving most progressive, making it 2 wins from 3 starts in impressive fashion at Goodwood back in July. Open to further improvement, she gets the nod to come out on top having her first crack at listed level. Kaadi is compiling a very solid record and is feared, along with another progressive pair in the shape of Uncle Don and Star of Mehmas.

Cheveley Park entrant COTO DE CAZA could be a cut above the majority of these after clocking an impressive time at Goodwood.

15:15 Newton Abbot Maiden Chase (Class 3) 21f Race Class Flow

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

Having romped home over C&D last month, Glynn recorded another clear-cut success at Stratford just five days later. He is in a more competitive heat now, but still merits respect. Things didn't work out for Lallygag over fences last season, but he has been flying over timber and should not be underestimated. That said, preference is for RISKINTHEGROUND, who made it four wins from nine over the larger obstacles when on target at Bangor a fortnight ago, with further progress far from out of the question.

SECRET TRIX turned in a rare poor effort last time but he's worth another chance given his profile and has a big chance on these terms if taking to fences at the first attempt. All 3 of his rivals are potential dangers, including hat-trick seeking Glynn.

Dan Skelton's RISKINTHEGROUND keeps improving and is taken to collect his fifth win of the season.

15:20 Downpatrick Handicap Hurdle 18f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

PORTNACOO routed the opposition over further at this track in August and, although he got a hike from the handicapper, would be the one to beat if in the same kind of form. That was just his second run since switching to Harry Smyth and this is a big drop in class from that 80-109 handicap hurdle. Init Together was runner-up over C&D last month and another solid shift is on the cards. Sandyman was a beaten favourite in fifth when last seen over C&D, but has the ability to get involved. Finn Russell didn't make an impact in three hurdle races in Britain last year, but gets in here off bottom weight and has been in decent nick on the Flat.

SANDYMAN was bang there until clouting the final flight here last time and it's surely only a matter of time before he's winning a handicap hurdle for John McConnell. Init Together, last-time-out course scorer Portnacoo and British raider Finn Russell may give him most to think about.

Preference is for SANDYMAN. He ran well here in August 2023, he should strip fitter for his comeback run and his jockey takes off 5lb

Yard landed this 2 years ago and he appeals as the type to take a big step forward.

15:30 Newbury Stakes (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow

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

KING OF CITIES didn't need to improve much on his debut third at Newmarket to score at Chester at the end of last month. Unlike his half-brother, Commonwealth Cup hero Inisherin, a mile doesn't appear to be an issue for Richard Hannon's colt and he is taken to prove too strong for the opposition. Kempton winner Dunamase also boasts a smart pedigree and has to be respected along with Regal Ulixes, who didn't get the clearest of runs when third on his racecourse bow at Goodwood.

Often an informative contest with this year's renewal fancied to go the way of REGAL ULIXES. Andrew Balding's well-bred colt shaped with plenty of promise without being seen to best effect when third on debut at Goodwood 17 days ago and he looks sure to improve. The penalised pair, King of Cities and Dunamase, are both appealing types with claims, whilst market confidence behind newcomer Dissident would also look significant.

Dunamase and King Of Cities are promising and Dissident is Bluestocking's half-brother. REGAL ULIXES shaped well on debut.

Prolific winner, mostly at 5f; ground to make up on Azure Blue on 5f form here in June.

15:40 Ayr Listed (Class 1) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Marine Wave defeated Rage Of Bamby (fourth) in a Listed contest at Pontefract last month and with the former now shouldering a penalty for that success, the pair could finish a lot closer. Azure Blue had excuses at York earlier this month and is perfectly capable on her day, although it is FROST AT DAWN who shades preference. William Knight's unexposed three-year-old struggled in the Al Quoz Sprint at Meydan earlier in the year, but was far from disgraced in the Nunthorpe last time and has less on her plate here.

FROST AT DAWN faced no easy task back from 5 months off in the Nunthorpe at York 4 weeks ago but the pick of her form in Meydan earlier this year entitles her to plenty of respect so, with that run under her belt, she's given the nod to bounce back in a race confined to her own sex. Woodhay Wonder and Rage of Bamby head the dangers. Gutsy Girl also likely has a bigger effort in her locker.

Unexposed on turf, FROST AT DAWN ran well in the circumstances in a Group 1 last time and comes into it on her Meydan sprint form.

15:50 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow

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

Having opened his account in decisive fashion at Worcester last week, ELECTRIC EDDY is sure to take all the beating racing off the same rating. The six-year-old is due to go up 7lb in the near future and this looks a suitable opportunity for him to follow up. The progressive Therapist arrives on the back of a solid third on the Flat and Nicky Henderson's filly may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Greenways.

ELECTRIC EDDY built on previous promise after 8 weeks off when running out a ready winner at Worcester 9 days ago and, unpenalized for that success, he makes plenty of appeal in his follow-up bid. Nicky Henderson's Therapist rates the chief danger returned to this sphere, ahead of United Front and Outback Frontiers.

In a hot race for the grade the suggestion is THERAPIST, who made a good start to his handicap hurdle career in the spring.

15:55 Downpatrick Maiden Hurdle 22f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Point-to-point winner Cloonainra impressed on her debut under rules as she sailed in by nine lengths in a maiden hurdle at Sligo for John McConnell. That said, all her form is on much slower ground. BOSTON JURY got off the mark on his third outing in a maiden hurdle at Down Royal. He was the subject of good support that day and looks to have some scope for improvement. Dinoland, a stablemate of Cloonainra, won over 3m at Down Royal and also has winning form over a similar trip to this one from Cartmel. He is a player. That's About Right has found life tougher off his revised mark, while Rowdy Romeo is returning from a break.

BOSTON JURY is progressing nicely so he's taken to follow up from Down Royal. Dinoland is considered the main threat ahead of Bangor-scorer Cloonainra.

The four-year-old BOSTON JURY is potentially the most progressive of these and may add to his recent Down Royal maiden win

16:00 Kempton Stakes (Class 4) 7f  Race Class Flow

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

Punters will need to be in a forgiving mood to side with FIFTH COLUMN, but it might just pay to do so. The son of Kingman shaped better than the bare result suggests when a running-on seventh over C&D on debut and, with soft ground a likely excuse for his subsequent low-key effort at Ascot, he can gain a breakthrough victory now returning to Polytrack. Consolidation has already shown a smart level of form in his three career starts and another bold bid is forecast. This step back in trip can see Play Me to better effect and he is also noteworthy.

CONSOLIDATION offers solid novice/maiden form and looks the one to beat. Fifth Column showed a bit more at Ascot and is evidently thought capable of better still, so is next best ahead of Prince of India, who fared best of the newcomers when fourth in a C&D novice 2 weeks ago.

This looks a good opportunity for CONSOLIDATION who sets a useful standard on his three outings so far.

16:05 Newbury Listed (Class 1) 7f  Race Class Flow

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

A gelding operation seemed to help Nostrum when finishing runner-up in a Group 3 at Newmarket and recent wind surgery may further aid his cause. That said, he faces a potential improver at the trip in the shape of LAKE FOREST. If over the issues that caused him to be upset in the stalls and withdrawn at York last month, the three-year-old could be the one following two fine efforts to finish runner-up in the Commonwealth Cup and the Hackwood. Both Witch Hunter (second) and Jumby (third) went very close in the Hungerford here last month and also enter calculations.

LAKE FOREST was doing all his best work late on when runner-up here last time and could improve again over this longer trip. He is fancied to score. Nostrum and Witch Hunter are feared most.

Lake Forest has a big chance if the ground is suitable. If he is absent again, this might hand a good opportunity to WITNESS STAND.

(2) Monsieur Kodi 11/1, C&D winner who has drawn a blank since a Glorious Goodwood success last summer but is on a good mark and had been shaping up quite well until perhaps finding quick ground against him when well held in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon last month.

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

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

Three previous winners of this contest in Danzan, Call Me Ginger and Roundhay Park head to post and each are too well treated to ignore, but a tentative vote goes to SPIRIT OF APPLAUSE. The market has spoken in favour of Tim Easterby's charge since being fitted with cheekpieces at the beginning of August, and he repaid his supporters at Beverley last time out. It remains to be seen whether stall 20 will be an aid or a hindrance, but he appears to be coming in to form and, though a 5lb penalty makes things tougher, he ought to have plenty in hand judged on past exploits. Others to note include last year's runner-up Cold Stare, The Ridler and Rory.

MONSIEUR KODI had a possible excuse in the Great St Wilfrid and this former C&D winner is worth chancing to stage a revival having dipped to 6 lb lower than when landing the Stewards' Cup consolation at last year's Glorious Goodwood. Last year's runner-up Cold Stare looks to have been laid out for this meeting again and heads the many dangers along with Trilby, Spirit of Applause and the selection's stablemate Havana Rum.

Having shown promising signs in recent months, THE RIDLER (nap) earns the vote ahead of the 3yo Moyola.

16:25 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow

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

Having posted several creditable efforts in defeat this season, just reward could be headed in COLONEL LESLEY's direction. A 2lb rise for last month's close-up second at this venue looks more than fair and he edges the vote over Karannelle, who was behind in third that day. David Rees' mare has subsequently finished third over C&D and a return to quicker ground conditions will suit. Juggernaut is also worth consideration now dropping in trip.

James Owen will likely find the key to ADDOSH before too long, possibly on today's return to hurdling. Colonel Lesley has recorded good placed efforts on his last 4 completed starts and is second choice ahead of Karannelle.

The pick is COLONEL LESLEY, who has been in good form for his new stable this season .

16:30 Downpatrick Maiden Chase 18f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Connections mentioned chasing for DUE COURSE after he obliged over flights in Bellewstown last month and they get their wish in this beginners' chase. The six-year-old gelding appreciates good ground and this trip is ideal for him. Tuckmill is another hurdle winner sent over fences and he has to be respected, particularly as his trainer commented after that handicap hurdle victory in Wexford that he is a chaser in the making. Sea Road Fill faced a tough task in a beginners' chase at the Galway Festival and did as well as could be expected in fifth. Bobbi Gin Tree wasn't beaten in third when she fell at the penultimate hurdle in Wexford. She banked a runner-up spot at Sligo in July and could make her presence felt over the bigger obstacles.

DUE COURSE scored readily in a handicap hurdle last time and appeals as the sort to make a better chaser, so he gets the nod over fellow chasing debutant Bobbi Gin Tree. Sea Road Fill is the better of the pair with chasing experience.

A course winner over hurdles, WARM IN GOREY has had plenty of runs over fences and he could make that experience count.

16:35 Kempton Stakes (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

SANDS OF MARRA built on a promising debut when successful at Windsor and, after then being outclassed in the Molecomb at Glorious Goodwood, he gets the vote to resume his progression with his sights lowered. Aviation Time wasn't disgraced when fourth over 5f at Windsor on Monday and, stepping up in trip, she can emerge as the main danger to the selection. Of the newcomers, Unfortunate Heir appeals most.

AVIATION TIME hasn't kicked on since her third in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot but this looks a good opportunity for her even so. Sands of Marra is the obvious threat back down in class having found the Molecomb at Goodwood too demanding.

It's hard to get away from AVIATION TIME, who wasn't best suited by the drop to 5f at Windsor on Monday and should have too much class.

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

In a wide-open event marginal preference is for BEELEY, who finally got off the mark over 1m4f at Ffos Las last time. The daughter of Camelot has chased home some above-average rivals this year and a mark of 84 may underestimate her on handicap debut. The hat-trick seeking Billiegee is an obvious threat but this does require another career best, while similar comments apply to Typical Woman. Blessed Honour is going in the right direction and has to be considered on her handicap bow too.

BLESSED HONOUR looked a good prospect when scoring at Nottingham last time and her opening mark seems reasonable, so she's marginally preferred to the hat-trick seeking Typical Woman. Billiegee is one of several others with feasible claims in a race that isn't short of depth.

Five have set out their stall with wins in the last month but it is hard to ignore BLESSED HONOUR who is far less exposed.

16:45 Ayr Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

THIS YEARS LOVE has made steady progress since winning at Beverley in June. A narrow winner on the Westwood last time out, Mick and David Easterby's gelding is only 3lb higher and he could go in again with further improvement on the cards. Jewel Maker continues to knock on the door and he's unlikely to be far away, although the younger legs of Swift Salian might present a more significant threat.

Tim Easterby looks to hold a strong hand here, with JEWEL MAKER taken to gain reward for his recent consistency. Stablemate Mount King came good last autumn and is handicapped to win again. Lucinda Russell 3-y-o John L Sullivan has made a positive start to his career and also makes the shortlist.

Tim Easterby has chances with Jewel Maker and MOUNT KING. The latter went for home too early at Ripon and that can be upgraded.

16:50 Dundalk Stakes 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

POWERFUL NATION debuts on the all-weather but is a fast-ground type so is likely to be suited by this surface and has form claims. A speedy sprinter, he finished second at Listed level at Tipperary in July, where he comfortably beat Lady With The Lamp into sixth. Shamrock Breeze is a similarly fast type and has been placed in three Listed races but, notably, has been beaten by the selection twice and has 2.75 lengths to find with him on Tipperary form. Saratoga Special, in turn, finished 5.25 lengths ahead of Shamrock Breeze last month and is now also 5lb better off. However, she disappointed when narrowly failing to win a Navan maiden 22 days ago, with the runner-up being well defeated subsequently.

SARATOGA SPECIAL failed to land the odds at Navan 3 weeks ago but she didn't do much wrong and is worth another chance trying a surface she's bred to relish. The penalised Powerful Nation went close in a listed race at Tipperary in July and is the obvious threat back down in class.

Shamrock Breeze should run well but she has a bit to find with SARATOGA SPECIAL and Powerful Nation on these terms

16:55 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 22f  Race Class Flow

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

In what looks a competitive affair, WONDERFUL EAGLE gets a tentative vote. Already a dual winner over timber, it would be a surprise if there wasn't some mileage in his hurdles mark judging by his cosy Flat victory over 2m at Goodwood last month. Melton Mossy showed a likeable attitude when winning over an extended 2m2f here recently and he merits respect, for all that he has been raised 5lb and is also 4lb out of the handicap. Fellow last-time-out winner Finisk River completes the shortlist.

WONDERFUL EAGLE has left the impression there's a bigger effort in him over hurdles if his jumping improves and he arrives on the back of a successful effort on the Flat, so he's worth a chance to add another C&D win to his record. Last-time-out winners Finisk River and Melton Mossy could emerge as the main dangers.

This pick is dual course winner WONDERFUL EAGLE (nap), who reverts to hurdling after a fine Flat win last month and is on a good mark.

17:00 Downpatrick Handicap Chase 24f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

HAND OVER FIST really enjoyed a staying trip when successful for the first time over fences in Kilbeggan. The first-time cheekpieces that were deployed are retained for this assignment. He won twice over hurdles and there should be more to come in this discipline. Winding River didn't perform on his last visit here, but that was the first time he finished out of the first three on six visits to Downpatrick. He has competed in higher grades and has to be respected in first-time blinkers. Room To Roam has plenty of experience to call upon and knows how to pick up prize money. There is no doubt that Tullyveery Lad has the ability to get involved, but he has failed to complete the course in two of his last three races.

HAND OVER FIST reacted well to first-time cheekpieces when successful at Kilbeggan last time and, with the scope for better still, he gets the nod over Tullyveery Lad, who remains with potential in this sphere. Woodie Wango is also worthy of consideration.

Preference is for WOODIE WANGO. Trip and ground look ideal for him and he shaped very nicely off this mark on his handicap chase debut.

17:10 Kempton Stakes (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

IZIPIZI's debut second over C&D last year reads very well in the context of this race and, on the back of a gallant runner-up effort behind a classy filly at Newbury, she can gain a breakthrough victory here. Native Souvenir kept on strongly to make a winning start to her career at Ffos Las last month and it remains to be seen where her ceiling lies. L'air De Panache is also noted on her introduction.

IZIPIZI has found just one too good in 2 of her 3 starts so, provided she's ready to roll after 3 months off, John & Thady Gosden's charge is fancied to go one better at the expense of Native Souvenir, who showed a good attitude to get the better of one with plenty of experience on debut at Ffos Las 3 weeks ago and carries a penalty here. Dark Lyric is also open to improvement and completes the shortlist.

The vote goes to IZIPIZI who has shown enough in two of her three starts to suggest a race like this is within her grasp.

(7) Galyx 5/2, Built on debut promise when taking 11-runner minor event at Windsor (1m, heavy) in May. Turned over when odds on for a 9f Carlisle novice later that month but it wasn't a bad effort by any means (especially given that he was carrying a penalty) and mark for this handicap debut looks a fair one.
Promising before he underperformed when 4-7 in a novice at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) in May.

8/1(+33%)
(14) Bigbertiebassett 8/1, Positive start to this season when fourth in an Ascot handicap off a 7 lb higher mark than this. However, he's failed to build on that since, looking like a non-stayer upped to this trip the last twice.
He didn't prove his stamina for 1m2f on last two starts; best to wait until he does.

Won at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in June and 2nd at Sandown (1m2f) in his two starts since.

Amor Vincit Omnia

Will be a danger to all if able to back those efforts up now returned to turf, albeit it's easy to have reservations in that regard (little impact all 3 previous runs on turf).
Seven-race maiden; best form last two starts (AW) but turf form is well below that level.

Handicap debut 13 days ago was his best form but it does not suggest he's on a good mark.

17:15 Newbury Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

The unexposed More Thunder has to be of interest having hit the crossbar on his handicap debut at Chester last time. That said, preference is for SHAMRAN after the son of Kingman got off the mark over a mile at Salisbury three weeks ago. A mark of 82 should be workable on that evidence and he may even improve for this step up in trip. Odin Legacy edges out Galyx and Midnight Rumble to be best of the rest.

Provided that MUSTAZEED gets away on terms a third C&D victory could be on the cards for this 6-y-o. He shaped as though his turn was again near at Ascot in July before completely blowing the start at Goodwood next time. More Thunder looks a big threat on the back of his creditable handicap debut second at Chester, while unexposed duo Galyx and Odin Legacy also need considering.

The winner may come from the less exposed 3yos, with SHAMRAN (nap) preferred given the style of his 1m novice win.

17:20 Ayr Handicap (Class 5) 13f Race Class Flow

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

ANNANDALE hasn't made much of an impact over a host of inadequate trips recently, but he did catch the eye at Musselburgh last time. Jim Goldie's charge finished down the field in the corresponding event 12 months ago, but he is now 10lb lower and looks to have been given a real chance. Belle Of Annandale was another who contested this last year and she should not be written off following a couple of promising efforts over hurdles, while L'Eagle Aid is another to consider.

L'EAGLE AID dispelled a couple of lesser efforts in no uncertain terms when landing a small-field novice at Catterick 32 days ago and, with his early-season form in handicaps having worked out well, he could be worth chancing to build on that run. Billy No Mates, Annandale and Caballo de Mar are others to consider.

This can go to ANNANDALE, now 26lb lower than when winning the 0-95 handicap over this trip on the Saturday of this meeting in 2021.

17:25 Dundalk Maiden 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Progressive ISABELLA EXPERT runs in first-time cheekpieces and might turn form with both Agouti Bear and Sharkii and win, under a light weight. The selection was well held by the more experienced Sharkii on her debut at Cork in July but has shown improved form since then and while also recently beaten by Agouti Bear at Navan, is now 8lb better off and can reverse placings. Agouti Bear, similarly, runs in first-time cheekpieces but has a poor draw in 17. Flash The Cash and Sharkii are closely matched on Down Royal form although speedy-type Flash The Cash isn't certain to be suited by today's extra furlong. Shelbiana has been running well under similarly low weights.

SHELBIANA shades preference ahead of Agouti Bear, having again shaped with promise when fifth in a big-field Naas maiden last month. Perhaps the addition of cheekpieces will help eke out a little more and, if so, she will have every chance. Agouti Bear has found just one too good on each of his two starts and will surely go one better soon enough, while Flash The Cash and Sharkii, third and fourth respectively at Down Royal a fortnight ago, are others to consider.

FLASH THE CASH was far from disgraced at Royal Ascot and should be able to take advantage of a good inside draw from the front

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

Honey I'm Good got the better of GREAT D'ANGE when the pair met over an extended 3m3f at Stratford last month, but the winning distance may have flattered the former given that the runner-up's stamina appeared to wane close home. Now stepping back in trip, Barry Brennan's charge can gain his revenge. Hold Your Fort completed a C&D hat-trick and rounds out the shortlist, for all that this mark demands another career best from him.

HOLD YOUR FORT is improving in leaps and bounds and clearly goe well here. He is taken to extend his winning run. A Definite Getaway and Honey I'm Good head the list of dangers.

Three-time point winner HOLD YOUR FORT has made remarkable progress over C&D this summer and might extend his winning spree.

17:35 Downpatrick NH Flat Race 18f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

DIPPEDINMOONLIGHT was a wide-margin winner of her point-to-point which saw her sold for six figures. The daughter of Zarak then found one too good in her first bumper at Down Royal. The horse that beat her there is highly thought of, so there was plenty of merit in that racecourse bow and she was well backed to deliver. Diamond Tipp is a more than credible opponent as she has finished second in her last couple of bumpers at Tramore and Bellewstown, while Sam Curling's Lord Ffrench has a chance in light of his debut third at Cork in July.

DIPPEDINMOONLIGHT showed inexperience when runner-up at Down Royal three weeks ago but there was enough encouragement to think he can get off the mark at the second attempt. Diamond Tipp improved on her latest outing and looks the main danger, although Low Expectations is an intereseting newcomer.

Runner-up to a good yardstick at Down Royal in her first bumper, point winner DIPPEDINMOONLIGHT is tipped to go one place better.

17:45 Kempton Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Top Of The Class made the most of stall one when landing the spoils over track and trip last month. However, the combination of a 4lb higher rating and a much higher draw could be enough to prevent her from following up. With that in mind, KING OF FURY may gain a belated breakthrough victory after several creditable efforts in defeat in recent months. Beauty Generation also warrants consideration on his return to Polytrack.

Plenty in with a squeak but KING OF FURY posted just about his best effort yet when runner-up at Yarmouth last month and he's fancied to go one better and open his account at the expense of Top of The Class, who has a fine record at this track and bids to make it 3 wins from her last 4 starts. Havana Touch can edge out Unreal Connection for third spot.

King Of Fury should go well again but the vote goes to TOP OF THE CLASS, who's looking for a third C&D win of the season upped 4lb.

18:00 Dundalk Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Dual winner JAMES HENRY has an excellent record over this course and has good recent form. Either a winner or runner-up from seven of ten course starts, he was beaten only a short-head here in February before he returned with a fine effort over five furlongs at the Curragh last month. He has strong claims with his rider again claiming 3lb. Three-year-old Fivecromwellplace is already a course-and-distance winner and was also placed at the Curragh recently. He runs in a first-time visor today from a career high rating. Four of Distillate's five wins have been on turf and despite being lightly-enough raced at this venue, has winning course-and-distance form and should get involved from her rating.

Lightly-raced MAGS caught the eye on both her starts in handicaps so could be the answer. The 3-y-os could well dominate with Fivecromwellplace and Princess Aurea heading the dangers.

SATURN SEVEN has a wide draw to overcome, however, the form of her Curragh fourth in May looks really strong

18:15 Kempton Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

A return to Polytrack saw GOT NO DOLLARS scythe through the field to score at Chelmsford last month. A 2lb nudge up the ratings looks more than workable for Stuart Williams' gelding and a seventh career victory on the all-weather could beckon. Calanthe made a successful handicap debut at Lingfield last week and warrants respect under a 6lb penalty. He may give the selection most to think about, ahead of Nazalan, who sports a first-time visor.

CALANTHE still has few miles on the clock and got off the mark at Lingfield last week. He can follow up. Got No Dollars and Dembe should also go well.

Calanthe will rightly be popular under a penalty, but DEMBE looks well treated again back under his optimal conditions.

MARBLE ANGEL has escaped with just a 4lb penalty for winning over today's course-and-distance last month and could well progress further at this distance. All her early form had been over sprint distances but seemed to relish this mile trip in winning well last month, while that form has received notable boosts with the runner-up scoring next time and the third and fourth-placed horses each being subsequently placed. She looks well handicapped and has the inside draw. Comfort Line and Morning Approach have been running well but aren't ahead of the handicapper. Four of Feature This' five career wins (which have all come at this distance) have been achieved at this course and she has place claims.

Billy Lee takes the reins on Marble Angel, who can make light of a 4 lb rise for her C&D success 5 weeks ago. Morning Approach has been running well on turf lately and won over C&D last winter so she's a possible threat. Comfort Line is another who knows where the winning post is here and could play a prominent role assuming a wide stall isn't too much of an inconvenience.

The form of her C&D win last time was boosted by the runner-up and MARBLE ANGEL can score again of 4lb higher.

18:45 Kempton Handicap (Class 4) 7f  Race Class Flow

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

Having been described as 'black type' by Cieren Fallon after her debut victory at Redcar and then following up under a penalty over C&D, an opening mark of 85 may prove lenient for COGNISANCE. William Haggas' filly ticks plenty of the right boxes and a hat-trick is on the cards. An improved performance is forecast from the downgraded D Flawless, who could prove dangerous if allowed an easy lead. Last month's track-and-trip novice winner Upscale enters handicaps off what looks a workable rating and further progression cannot be ruled out either.

COGNISANCE showed a willing attitude when scoring over C&D last month and it's likely we haven't seen the best of her yet. She can score again. Upscale and Inherit may give her most to think about.

D Flawless and Upscale both remain of interest but COGNISANCE (nap) is taken to make it 3-3 before her sights are raised.

19:00 Dundalk Handicap 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

NAPPER TANDY hasn't run on the Flat since September 2022 but has been running well over hurdles and has a good record on all-weather surfaces. Already a hurdle winner this summer, he finished third at Listed level at the Galway festival and while his lack of a recent Flat outing is a small concern, competes from a career low rating and is suited by this distance. Stariam has been running consistently well in country maidens and while frustrating to follow, is interesting competing in her first handicap today, albeit her ability to handle this surface is as yet unproven. Curious Bride has good recent form but would ideally prefer further.

This step back up in trip looks a good move for POLEMON, who was fourth over 9f at Cork recently and, though 0-5 on the all-weather, he went close on polytrack for previous connections in the UK last year. Napper Tandy hasn't been seen out on the Flat for some time but he was a hurdles winner as recently as June and resumes in this sphere on a potentially handy mark. He is therefore feared most ahead of Squire Danagher, while French Company is a viable each-way option.

Having won well over 1m4f at Tipperary, POLEMON ran a fine race over an inadequate trip at Cork since and could win again.

19:15 Kempton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

LIOSA arrives here on the back of two second-placed finishes over this distance at Wolverhampton and the four-year-old has been found an ideal opportunity to go one better in this company. Lilkian's third at Lingfield a month ago suggests that he may be the main threat to the selection, although Havana Sky and Profitman are others who merit places on the shortlist.

LIOSA again left the impression that he's on a good mark and capable of producing a much bigger performance when things drop his way when second at Wolverhampton 2 weeks ago so is worth persevering with. Havana Sky is worth another chance in a handicap back at a more suitable trip so is feared most ahead of Lilkian, who was a back-to-form third at Lingfield last month.

Liosa has been banging at the door but HAVANA SKY could take another step forward now back up at 6f.

19:30 Dundalk Handicap 11f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

STEP TO SOMEWHERE ran well on recent handicap debut and has already shown form on this surface. Out of a Listed winner, she was well beaten in that sole course run last April but that was her career debut, while the first two finishers are now Stakes performers. The selection shaped well at Clonmel and reverting back up a furlong should suit, as she again competes in this 47-65 bracket. Explorers Way doesn't appear ahead of the handicapper but has an excellent record at this distance and four of his five wins have come on the all-weather. Others to consider are Elsa's Pride and Audscar.

ELSA'S PRIDE's stamina was stretched upped to 14.4f at Killarney last time and she is appealing now back down in trip on this all-weather debut. Next on the list is Explorers Way, who boasts a healthy strike rate on synthetics and he is on a workable mark. Audscar has shown glimmers of ability and could go well at a price, while Step To Somewhere gave it a good shot in the first-time visor at Clonmel and she will be a threat if the headgear works equally well second time round.

After a fine handicap debut at Clonmel over a furlong shorter, STEP TO SOMEWHERE (nap) looks ready to go one better over this trip.

(8) Baroque Buoy 5/1, Career best when winning 7-runner handicap (7/2) at Chelmsford City (10f) 20 days ago by 2½ lengths from Orbital, well on top finish. Rider's claim off-sets his rise in weights and another holding claims for in-form yard.
Has proved consistent in AW handicaps since the spring (22131); high on the list.

Return to AW no problem having won a Lingfield maiden last year, but he may need this.

19:45 Kempton Handicap (Class 5) 11f Race Class Flow

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

PURE OF HEART appeared to have plenty in hand when scoring over 1m4f at Lingfield last week and the unexposed three-year-old is 2lb well-in here, despite carrying a 6lb penalty. With that in mind, she gets the vote ahead of Baroque Buoy, who also won on his most recent outing and may have more to offer. Others to note are Orbital, Tortured Soul and Just An Hour.

Twice a winner on all-weather this summer, ORBITAL arrives on the back of a good second at Lingfield (12f) 6 days ago and, with the drop back in trip holding no fears, she edges the vote to get back to winning ways. Last-time-out winners Baroque Buoy and Pure of Heart are others to consider.

Money for Jack Sparowe would be significant, but BAROQUE BUOY holds leading claims having proved so consistent in AW handicaps.

20:00 Dundalk Handicap 11f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MAKAIAH has largely unexciting form but ran satisfactorily in first-time blinkers in a recent Claimer and should compete over a longer distance today. She was well held by the winner at Gowran but the third-placed filly - whom she met off level-weights, was subsequently placed with a rating of 60, suggesting the selection should herself prove competitive from 57. Gardone was well supported on his first two runs of 2024 and while easy turf ground might not have suited then, he is nonetheless 5lb higher than when winning over course-and-distance last month (when racing from out of the handicap). Picpoul has a good course record although seems better over slightly further.

The vote goes to STEPDANCE, who shaped well on debut for this yard in the C&D handicap won by Gardone last month, which was her first run for the best part of a year. She found 12.5f too much of a test at Tipperary since and is appealing back down in trip with Shane Foley in the hot-seat. Picpoul is a regular here and, having been placed off similar marks on three of her last four starts at up to 1½m here, she is likely to be in the thick of things once more. Chopsticks is also shortlisted.

CHOPSTICKS was a well beaten favourite over C&D last time but the run might have come too soon after his cracking Leopardstown third.

20:15 Kempton Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

ANGEL ON HIGH bounced back to form when second over 1m2f at Brighton last time and a reproduction of that level of form off the same mark would give the seven-year-old a big chance here. Miss Dubai is a consistent performer who is likely to be in the mix once again, while the unexposed Drouthy Neebor and Fravanco complete the shortlist.

FRAVANCO was too free over 1¾m at Salisbury three weeks ago and is of strong interest back down in trip and returned to the all-weather. He may well have most to fear from Angel On High, who has been knocking on the door in recent months, while Private Bryan is likely to find this scenario more suitable than the one he encountered at Ffos Las and he is third choice.

The vote goes to LARGO BAY who is 15lb lower than when winning this race two years ago and has dropped 2lb below his last winning mark.

20:30 Dundalk Maiden 11f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

BARD OF AVON ran promisingly on Leopardstown debut last October and returned from 308 days off when again running well - in a race which is working out well, at the Curragh last month. By Galileo and out of an Australian Group 3 winner, he presumably met with a setback earlier this year but was nicely supported on Curragh reappearance, when running well. He was well held by winner Fighter, who recently easily won the Petingo Handicap during Champions Festival while the runner-up has also won subsequently. Raydamann disappointed in that Curragh maiden but had previously finished second over this C&D in July with Psalm finishing third.

PSALM should be bang there on the pick of his form and is preferred to Raydamann, Bard of Avon and Daboya

It should only be a matter of time before Aidan O'Brien unlocks the key to PSALM, and the son of Sea The Stars gets the vote.

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.
