13:30 Chester Stakes (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Runner-up on his last two outings, including when only beaten a neck at Haydock last time out, ROBBO sets the standard and could be tough to beat. Berkshire Nugget did not get the clearest of runs when looking to challenge over 7f here last time out and he must enter calculations, along with Activated, who has strong claims on her debut effort at Windsor. Any market support for Eye Of Dubai would have to be noted.

ROBBO sets a decent standard on his latest Haydock near miss and is preferred to Andrew Balding's Berkshire Nugget who had an excuse when a beaten favourite here last time and remains capable of better.

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

Spanish Rock got off the mark at the second attempt at Redcar last month but he may struggle to give 7lb to KANDOO. Having shown promise in Ireland, Archie Watson's trailblazing filly impressed when making all at Bath before losing little in defeat when only reeled in late on over 6f at Chelmsford last time. Of the remainder, Ingleby Ivy may not have been suited by testing ground at Beverley first time out and may do even better now.

SPANISH ROCK showed a likeable attitude to get up at Redcar and George Boughey's colt is fancied to defy a penalty to take his record to 2 wins from 3 starts. Kandoo is vastly more experienced than her opposition and appeals as the likeliest threat to the selection, whilst both Ingleby Ivy and Standring showed something to work on first time up and are also respected in a race which lacks depth.

The previous winner with the greater remaining upside, SPANISH ROCK is preferred. Ingleby Ivy and Alfanatical should improve.

13:50 Newmarket Group 2 (Class 1) 8f Race Class Flow

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

A quality renewal with several of these holding Group 1 aspirations in the near future. Capulet was only narrowly beaten by a highly-touted stablemate in Group 2 company at Leopardstown last time and has strong claims once again with the promise of more to come. However, slight preference is for AABLAN, who shapes like this step up to a mile will really suit. The son of Dubawi has looked very professional in winning both his starts so far and he can take this on route to bigger things. The unbeaten Ghostwriter has also been impressive in his two outings to date and the son of Invincible Spirit is no back number.

A mouth-watering renewal of this long-established Group 2. CAPULET stepped up considerably on last month's promising debut win when finding only exciting stablemate Diego Velazquez too good in the Champions Juvenile Stakes at Leopardstown and has to be considered the one to beat on that form, especially with further progress on the cards. Ghostwriter defied a penalty in an excellent time at Ascot and is well worth his place in this higher grade, while Defiance is another fascinating contender.

The time ratings hand the percentage call to GHOSTWRITER. Capulet is second choice ahead of Aablan and Al Musmak.

The O'Brien clan dominate here, with Aidan likely to get the better of sons Joseph and Donnacha. The master of Ballydoyle saddles 800,000-pound yearling purchase The Euphrates and the once raced CHANTILLY. The former is out of a half-sister to Golan and is sure to come on plenty for this debut experience. Killian Hennessy claims a valuable 5lb on the selection, who stumbled from the stalls on his sole start at the Curragh last month. Probably held in a share of second at the time, the Galileo colt was hampered from the furlong pole and eventually finished sixth. Sure to have learned plenty at the County Kildare venue, he can put his experience to good use now. Second in a barrier trial at Dundalk earlier this month, Flickering Halo should give a good account of himself, while the already gelded Naval Force and the Brendan Walsh-trained Phoenix Princess complete the line-up.

THE EUPHRATES has a useful middle-distance pedigree and was an expensive yearling, so he's a likely candidate to make a winning start for a top stable. Flickering Halo and Naval Force are other notable newcomers and Chantilly, a stablemate of the selection, is open to improvement.

Chantilly ran to a decent level on his Curragh debut but THE EUPHRATES seems to be the Ballydoyle chosen runner on his debut.

This can go the way of course-specialist EMIYN, who won this contest last year off 7lb lower and was also victorious here over shorter in July. The six-year-old remains unexposed over marathon trips and may have too much class for Baez, who is up in grade and in search of a five-timer. The recent Goodwood winner Zealandia and the Group 1-placed Tashkhan can also have a say in proceedings.

Plenty of these arrive with claims and it could just pay to take a chance on ZEALANDIA. Unexposed at this sort of trip, he's gradually worked his way back to form, getting off the mark for the campaign at Goodwood and a 4 lb higher mark shouldn't prevent him going well again. Tashkhan faces his easiest assignment for a while and he shouldn't be underestimated, with Baez and last year's winner Emiyn others in the mix.

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

BOLSENA made a very promising start to her career when only beaten half a length over C&D on her racecourse debut and she looks the one to beat in this field. Kevin Ryan's filly showed some inexperience on that occasion, notably racing quite keenly, yet she still went close and she can be seen to better effect today. Marama rates as the biggest danger with the daughter of Sea The Moon representing powerful connections, while Zainabb should also be thereabouts.

It's hard to get away from BOLSENA, who did well to finish as close as she did given how green she was when runner-up over C&D just over 3 weeks ago. She can get the better of Zainabb, who has shown plenty of ability on both outings so far and can take another step forward here. Marama looks a newcomer to note for her top yard, so she rounds off the shortlist.

A few runners of interest but BOLSENA gets the vote on the back of her promising debut here three weeks ago.

OUR NEL (second) had Come On Du Berlais (third) a length behind when runner-up at Worcester on her hurdles debut last month, and she is taken to go one better this time around. A creditable second in a Listed bumper at Sandown in March, Casa No Mento disappointed at Aintree but appeals as a strong candidate for the Nigel Twiston-Davies team to go to war with this season.

CASA NO MENTO showed more than enough in bumpers last season to suggest she's up to winning a race of this nature over hurdles, so she's a straightforward choice. Our Nel could do with settling down, but she showed ability again sent hurdling when second at Worcester last month and seems likely to provide the main threat.

Close second in a Listed bumper in March, CASA NO MENTO ought to be too good for this field if she jumps adequately.

Those with jumping experience make limited appeal and perhaps LA TULIPE NOIRE can score on her debut over hurdles. The Ciaran Murphy-trained filly won over a mile at Dundalk last winter and has also shown promise with cut in the ground on turf, although stamina is a concern as she has yet to race beyond nine furlongs. St Faz won over 1m5f at Down Royal but didn't jump great on his hurdling debut when a moderate third to Nurburgring at Killarney, with Pigeon House behind in fourth. The latter fared better subsequently when runner-up to An Bradan Feasa at Ballinrobe, with Expelliarmus over two lengths adrift in third. Doctor Nightingale has plenty of experience over hurdles and holds Emotivo on running behind Annie Agnew at Down Royal. Open To Question hails from a yard with a good record in this type of event and he's now blinkered after three maiden outings on the Flat.

DOCTOR NIGHTINGALE has made a good start over hurdles and a reproduction of any of those efforts could be enough for Gordon Elliott's filly to get off the mark. She can get the better of Expelliarmus, who shaped as if in need of the experience sent hurdling when third at Ballinrobe recently, with Emotivo and Pigeon House rounding off the shortlist.

After an improved effort when 2nd earlier this month, PIGEON HOUSE looks capable of going one better and conditions should be fine

Miguel, Billiegee and Between Me And U all merit plenty of respect but MANNERISM could well prove to be better than his opening mark. Karl Burke's gelding, a 90,000gns purchase, has shaped encouragingly in three Haydock novice events and could easily have more to offer here. Pick Your Battles sports a similar profile and may be boosted by first-time cheekpieces, while Half Moon Rising should not be written off.

HALF MOON RISING came clear of the rest when only just edged out at Catterick off 2 lb lower last week and can go one better if seeing out this longer trip. Between Me And U beat a subsequent winner when scoring on his nursery bow at Ffos Las and is feared most ahead of Brighton maiden winner Miguel.

This is easier than the last time PICK YOUR BATTLES attempted, and he gains narrow preference over Tapeta scorer Billiegee.

It is very hard to get away from RELIEF RALLY, who has looked better with each run and has won four out of five, despite things not really falling right on a couple of occasions. The stiff finish will almost certainly play to the daughter of Kodiac's strengths and she looks sure to run a huge race. Jasna's Secret is a fascinating contender over from France having won with ease on both starts to date and any strong market move would need noting. Persian Dreamer and Cherry Blossom both remain on an upward curve and could push the principals all the way in what looks a cracking renewal.

RELIEF RALLY holds the edge on form and is fancied to make it 5-6 on the back of her cosy Lowther success on her first go over this trip. Unbeaten French filly Jasna's Secret has looked an excellent prospect thus far though so rates a big threat, while Irish raiders Porta Fortuna and Cherry Blossom have the form to play a part too in a most intriguing Cheveley Park.

Jasna's Secret is hugely respected but this could be the day that everything comes together for the talented SOPRANO.

SIMPSON'S PARADOX is running out of chances at this stage, but first time blinkers might work the oracle on the well-bred Jessica Harrington-trained bay. A half-brother to Group 1 winners Alpha Centauri and Discoveries, he ran his best race to date when beaten three-parts of a length into second over the course and distance in July. He again filled the runner-up spot on his next outing at Galway and had Lord Vader a place behind, with that one since successful at Cork. Highland Rahy was second in that Cork contest and with some solid form to his name, he is sure to have plenty of supporters. Joseph O'Brien saddles Princess Rabab and Royal Toast and they both warrant respect, while John Murphy's Helter Skelter is another leading hope with Colin Keane aboard. Minella Butterfly is out of a half-sister to Group 1 winner Amazing Maria and it'll be interesting to see how she fares on debut.

HELTER SKELTER faced a stiffish task over C&D last time and is worth another chance back in calmer waters having shaped well behind a stablemate on debut. Highland Rahy and Simpson's Paradox have both had plenty of chances now but still need respecting on form, while Royal Toast is a newcomer to keep an eye on in the betting.

HELTER SKELTER didn't improve from his debut when running over C&D last time but the softer ground today could suit better.

BRITANNICA has shown more than enough in her three career outings to suggest that she can get off the mark here. The slight step up in trip on this occasion is a plus and she may have too much for Prince of Zenda, who has not been in action since May but was runner-up to a subsequent Royal Ascot winner on his penultimate start. Night Breeze has plenty to find but cannot be ruled out either.

There's little to separate BRITANNICA and Prince of Zenda on form, but the former is less exposed after just the 3 starts and is narrowly preferred on that score.

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

There are plenty in with chances here and the tentative vote goes to WOOLHAMPTON, who bounced back to form when third over 5f at Ascot last time and she appears likely to offer another bold bid. Rod Millman's charge was only beaten a length on that occasion and she wouldn't have to improve too much to get her head in front off the same mark. The consistent Silky Wilkie is likely to pose the biggest questions to the selection having been given a chance to feature by the handicapper, while Proverb caught the eye when finishing quickly for a good fifth over 5f at York last time and he can reverse the form with Manila Scouse (third) off 2lb better terms.

ARECIBO has mostly performed well in defeat this year and can end his losing run now off a career-low mark. This does look competitive, though, with Spoof and Manila Scouse heading the dangers.

Never Dark shouldn't be underestimated off his low weight but CLEARPOINT starts out for a new yard on a competitive mark.

An easy winner at Fontwell last time out, TWO PAST EIGHT has made a terrific start to his career in this sphere and Alan King's charge should be open to further improvement on just his fourth outing. Irish raider Our Boy Wes made a positive impression on his hurdles bow at Ballinrobe and must enter calculations, along with Max Of Stars, who has won three of her five starts over hurdles.

OUR BOY WES was below his best on the Flat at the Cork 31 days ago, yet he'd previously impressed when making a winning hurdles debut at Ballinrobe in August and, with improvement anticipated in this sphere, he gets the nod to come out on top for his shrewd Irish stable. Max of Stars and Two Past Eight are both going the right way themselves over timber and can provide the lead threats.

In an interesting juvenile contest it could pay to side with OUR BOY WES, whose trainer does so well with his runners in Britain.

ZAIDI handled soft ground when winning a point-to-point for Ellmarie Holden and again when drawing clear from over a furlong out to take a Thurles bumper in good style this spring. The Gordon Elliott-trained gelding was switched to hurdles at the Fairyhouse Easter meeting and beat all bar chief market rival Canal End in a 24-runner maiden over this trip. Mint Boy was up with the pace until dropping away quickly after the penultimate flight in that Fairyhouse maiden, but the point-to-point winner is surely capable of better judged on his placed bumper form. Champagne Admiral has also shown promise in bumpers and is another to consider, with Michael O'Sullivan an interesting booking on the Pat Fahy-trained gelding.

ZAIDI took an early tumble when last seen at Kilbeggan in the spring but he'd previously showed plenty of promise when runner-up on his hurdles bow at Fairyhouse and this looks an excellent opportunity for him on his return. Mint Boy and Champagne Admiral can take minor honours.

A few of these have shown enough to win a maiden hurdle, none more so than ZAIDI who sets a decent standard on last season's form

Mr Trevor advertised his well-being when winning at Hamilton earlier in the week and commands respect under a 5lb penalty. The three-time C&D winner Hurstwood and Hurt You Never are others to note. However, it may pay to take a chance on HOOF IT HOOF IT exploiting a drop in both trip and class after a lively effort from a wide draw in a class 5 event at Chester last time.

HURSTWOOD took this 12 months ago and is fancied to capitalise on a handy-looking mark and extend his excellent record at this track. Recent Hamilton scorer Mr Trevor is feared most under a 5 lb penalty, although Captain Dandy seems sure to be on the premises too on the back of his Thirsk victory.

Last year's winner HURSTWOOD goes really well here and signalled he's ready to strike again when a resurgent C&D third so gets the vote

Vandeek got the better of RIVER TIBER in the Group 1 Prix Morny at Deauville last month but there are strong reasons to believe that form can be turned around here. River Tiber had an interrupted preparation for that race, having previously won the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot, and the son of Wootton Bassett also didn't look entirely at ease on the very soft ground at Deauville. Back on a much better surface, Aidan O'Brien's charge can turn the tables on Vandeek and get back to winning ways. Jasour was well-held when eighth in that same race in France but maybe the ground was also an issue for him and he could bounce back. The unbeaten Task Force could take another step forward.

RIVER TIBER was unable to go with Vandeek in the Prix Morny last time but he'd reportedly missed some work prior to that and, given how promising he'd looked beforehand, he's worth a chance to reverse form with his old rival in a race that the pair may dominate. The unbeaten Task Force is a big player for all that he's stepping up markedly in grade.

Vandeek and River Tiber bring the best form but an interesting alternative is TASK FORCE. Jasour is also respected.

A dual course-and-distance winner, ANO MANNA is taken to maintain her perfect record at Killarney. The progressive Saxon Warrior bay finished third over 1m1f at Tipperary most recently and back to a mile now she looks the one to beat. Representing the in-form yard of Tim Doyle, Kinda Tiny is given second preference. She finished a never-nearer fifth of 17, when beaten less than a length at Cork last month, with subsequent Listowel winner Racing Royalty a place ahead in fourth. John Murphy, who has an excellent record at Killarney, is represented by Great Blasket. Successful over the course and distance last month, he since disappointed at Gowran when bidding to complete a hat-trick. Clonmel winner Beauparc, top-weight Spirit Of Paradise and the Sheila Lavery-trained Nituna are others for the shortlist.

KINDA TINY looks the way to go here as she is able to race off a 3 lb lower mark than when posting a good fifth of 17 at Cork last month. Recent Clonmel scorer Beauparc is next on the list, with Great Blasket and Bang Po appealing as the pick of the rest for place purposes.

Roman Dragon has a good record here but has drawn the eight stall as he looks for his first success over this trip, which is a slight concern. COUNT D'ORSAY was a short-head second over 5f at Beverley 10 days ago and is arguably the one to beat on the back of that performance, leaving Lord Riddiford and Democracy Dilemma as the pick of the remainder.

Although he rather overdid things in front at the May meeting this track should be tailormade for DEMOCRACY DILEMMA and he could take a bit of stopping if he can get across and grab the rail from stall 5. Dream Composer is a lot better than he showed in the Portland and is second choice ahead of Count d'Orsay.

BERNARDO O'REILLY ran a very good race when fourth in the Silver Cup at Ayr last week and this looks a good opportunity for him to get his head back in front. Richard Spencer's runner was well backed on that occasion and he can gain compensation having been dropped 1lb in the ratings for that near three-length defeat. May Sonic appears primed to offer another bold bid after successive seconds at Newbury and Southwell respectively, while Knebworth is also worthy of serious consideration.

A case can be made for virtually all of these but GULLIVER didn't enjoy the rub of the green in the Ayr Silver Cup and can confirm himself well treated by bouncing back to winning ways. Bernardo O'Reilly came home fourth in that race and seems sure to go well again, while Roach Power, Chairmanoftheboard and May Sonic all warrant plenty of respect too.

Royal Dress is interesting back on slow ground but Chairmanoftheboard and LAKOTA BLUE can fight this out.

A comfortable winner here over shorter on his penultimate start, CAN'T BEAT HISTORY unseated the rider early in the contest when favourite at Uttoxeter last time. He can bounce back to winning ways on this occasion, with Tedwin Hills looking best placed to chase him home on the back of a promising chase debut at Southwell. Young Wolf has strong claims on his penultimate effort.

TEDWIN HILLS made a promising start over fences when runner-up at Southwell, pulling clear of the rest, and can go one better off the same mark with improvement on the cards. Can't Beat History was unfortunate to unseat his rider at Uttoxteter and rates the main threat having been an emphatic winner here the time before.

This low-grade chase can go to TEDWIN HILLS who was a good second over 2m4f at Southwell on his chase debut last time.

GLENABO BRIDGE has gained all three hurdle wins with plenty of cut in the ground and, while firmly in the veteran stage, holds each-way claims on what should prove suitable conditions. He filled the runner-up spot over this trip at Punchestown back in January and may benefit from his latest outing at Ballinrobe. How Decc comes here off the back of some consistent efforts but the ground could be a worry and that is the same concern with Great Island, who has shown some promise in maidens and now switches to a handicap for the first time. Aegirine is another with scope for improvement having also given encouragement in maidens, while Mrs Watson is lightly raced for a nine-year-old and gained her only win on very testing ground in a similar event at Clonmel.

HOW DECC has recorded creditable in-frame efforts in handicap hurdles in recent months and this might be the day he comes good. Jaariam ran a solid first race for Seamus O'Donnell at Galway recently and is second choice. Gordon Elliott pair Emotional Damage and Minnie Beets failed to make an impact on their respective handicap debuts but still merit respect as unexposed types from a top yard.

It was a step back in the right direction from JAARIAM last time and with the prospect of him coming on for that, he gets the vote

BRAZEN BOLT won over 6f at Thirsk last time and that was a well-deserved victory after some solid efforts in defeat. The son of Brazen Beau is now only 4lb higher and that makes him one to keep on the right side of. Twelfth Knight had Origintrail (second) and Abate (fifth) behind him when scoring over C&D on only his second start for the Paul Midgley stable and he could continue to improve.

BRAZEN BOLT has looked as good as ever in recent weeks, and having had a bit more of a break than those that ran at Ayr last weekend, John Quinn's gelding is fancied to follow up from his latest Thirsk success. Fellow last-time-out winner Twelfth Knight has a fine C&D record and can be in the mix again, whilst this is a less-competitive affair than is often contested by Mr Wagyu and he also merits respect after a pair of good efforts in big-field events.

Twelfth Knight should make a bold bid under these conditions but DARE TO HOPE looks primed to strike.

GAMBE VELOCI appreciates a cut in the ground and will be suited by the likely testing conditions. Successful at Limerick in April, he ran his best race since when just over a length fourth to Signora Bellissima at Navan last month. The Caravaggio four-year-old was short of room behind the leaders from the two furlong pole at Proudstown Park and could be considered somewhat unlucky. A case can be made for each of the four course and distance winners in the line-up. Dragon Of Malta is one of them and the five-time victor is given second preference. Third in this race 12 months ago, he has been in fine form of late, winning at Galway and Listowel in recent weeks. Turbulence, Church Mountain and San Aer are the others with track winning form. The latter caught the eye when a never nearer third at Galway earlier this month and it'll come as no surprise if he manages to go a few places better now. Beaten by just a head in the Colm Quinn Mile at Galway and again placed at the Curragh last weekend, top-weight No More Porter is another leading hope.

Having fared best of those ridden patiently when fourth in a competitive race at Navan a month ago, GAMBE VELOCI makes plenty of appeal in the hope that they go a solid gallop. Last-time-out winner Dragon of Malta is an obvious danger and C&D winner San Aer deserves respect.

The 5yo NO MORE PORTER(nap) is stuck on a losing run but through no lack of effort and he was unlucky last week at the Curragh.

A typically-competitive renewal sees a chance taken on the stand out GREEK ORDER, who arrives here seeking a hat-trick after wins at Haydock and most recently at Newbury. Harry and Roger Charlton's charge did plenty wrong despite bolting up by more than four lengths over 1m2f at the latter venue, where he raced keenly and plenty of improvement can be expected. This son of Kingman has been raised 10lb for that success but with the second Maximilian Caesar subsequently franking the form, he could defy that burden to complete the hat-trick. Fellow last-time-out winner Dual Identity isn't ruled out of overcoming his 8lb rise after a four-and-a-half-length win over 1m2f at Sandown, while Oviedo (second) is on slightly better terms with his last-time-out conqueror Astro King and could reverse that form.

Highly competitive as usual but GREEK ORDER still stands out. It's all come together for this 3-y-o lately and his demolition of a next-time-out winner at Newbury suggests he could still be well treated after even a 10 lb rise. His stablemate Merlin The Wizard and recent Doncaster winner Liberty Lane are other interesting contenders among the 3-y-os, while Majestic, who is bidding to become the first back-to-back winner for over 50 years, and Eagle's Way may fare best of the older brigade.

Preference is for BOPEDRO (nap), who has a fine record at the Newmarket courses and caught the eye when unlucky in Ireland last time.

DREAMS ADOZEN has proved to be a model of consistency since the headgear was applied, winning twice before solid placed efforts over C&D/Catterick in recent weeks. She earns the vote to come out on top, with Surrey Belle and Tafsir fancied to give Charlie Johnston's filly most to think about.

15:50 Haydock Maiden (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

John Quinn has enjoyed a fine season with his juveniles and STAY IN THE GAME looks capable of adding to his tally. The Too Darn Hot colt, a half-brother to four winners, just found things happening too quickly over a sharp 7f at Thirsk first time out but his third-placed finish bodes well for his chances over this extra furlong. Nicely-bred pair Move On In and Otto Flash also showed potential first time out and would have to be considered if attracting market support.

None of these bring a particularly high level of form to the table. MOVE ON IN achieved a bit more on his debut than fellow once-raced colts Otto Flash and Stay In The Game and is taken to provide Ralph Beckett with a second successive win in this.

There's not that much to separate MOVE ON IN, Otto Flash and Stay In The Game on debut form, the first-named getting the vote.

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

DEAD RIGHT showed a liking for first-time cheekpieces when last seen in February, as he went in by half a length in this grade and was only raised 1lb for that success. If he is ready to roll on his return from a break, he could record a double, with the booking of Harry Cobden a big plus. Vintage Fizz did it well over an extended 2m4f at Bangor earlier in the month and has to be respected, while Quoi De Neuf is far from out of it.

This looks wide open but VINTAGE FIZZ has started out really well in this sphere so is taken to make it 3-4 on the back of his cosy Bangor success. The consistent Saint Arvans is next on the list with Francky du Berlais, Fix At All and One True King all in the mix too.

He was out of form when last seen in the spring but ONE TRUE KING (nap) won this race after a break last year and can repeat the dose.

16:00 Gowran Park Handicap Hurdle 24f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

AMBITIOUS FELLOW gained a fifth career win last time when landing the valuable BoyleSports Handicap Hurdle at the Galway Festival. The Peter Fahey-trained gelding ticked a number of boxes in relation to this test as he stayed on well over 2m6f and handled soft ground. There is scope for further improvement and while going up 8lb for that success, connections have now booked a 7lb claimer. Ballyglass Beauty is another to consider at the opposite end of the handicap having scored over this trip at Listowel last Saturday. The Liam Cusack-trained gelding but up a career best when drawing clear on the run-in to score in decisive fashion, but will find this tougher off a 10lb higher mark. Point-to-point winner Quarry Rocco isn't easy for the handicapper to assess as he landed a 2m2f Ballinrobe maiden last time on just his second hurdle start, while Ringdufferin was fitted with cheekpieces when opening his account at Downpatrick earlier this month.

A strong-looking handicap with the narrow vote in favour of BALLYGLASS BEAUTY. He produced a career-best effort when scoring with plenty to spare under this pilot at Listowel (3m) 10 days ago and his subsequent weight rise may not prevent another bold showing. Galway scorer Ambitious Fellow, A Great View and unexposed handicap debutant Quarry Rocco head up the dangers.

This can go the way of QUARRY ROCCO who got off the mark under rules in good style last month and he's a potential improver up in trip

PRINCESS KARINE is a very solid performer who arrives here on the back of a win in a similar event at Musselburgh a couple of weeks ago. The daughter of Aclaim is only 3lb higher here and that could prove to be lenient. May Blossom was a close-up third at Beverley recently and she should go well off a 1lb higher rating, while Strong Johnson is also worth a second look.

A tight-knit sprint but KHABIB caught the eye when fourth over 6f at Redcar last time and gets the nod with this return to his optimum trip a big plus. In-form top-weight May Blossom brings solid credentials to the table and is feared most ahead of recent Musselburgh scorer Princess Karine.

Handily-weighted KHABIB returns to his ideal trip having gone with promise when fourth over 6f at Redcar and he can resume winning ways

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

An ordinary back-end maiden but quite few with claims. GUINEVERE'S SPIRIT was seemingly unfancied on debut at Navan earlier this month but emerged with plenty of credit after finishing second against geldings and the extra furlong here may well suit the daughter of Camelot. Hey Whatever was denied the chance to run at Bellewstown on Wednesday when the weather intervened and is rerouted southwards. She was touched off on testing ground at Listowel and the winner has run creditably in better company since. Deadly Nightshade had Diyaba three lengths behind in third when just failing to land the odds at Galway while Stariam ran well after a layoff at Clonmel and will be sharper for that outing.

Though turned over at cramped odds at Galway earlier this month, DEADLY NIGHTSHADE was just touched off on that occasion and, with the promise of better to come from this well-bred filly, she is taken to open her account at the fourth time of asking. Guinevere's Spirit shaped well when runner-up on debut at Navan and is feared most ahead of Hey Whatever.

A chance is taken on GUINEVERE'S SPIRIT to improve enough from her promising Navan debut over 1m2f.

Better can be expected of STRUTTING, who raced greenly on debut over 1m at Sandown earlier this month and she is fancied to take big strides forward today. This daughter of Frankel cost 425,000gns so better can be expected of a filly from powerful connections and that experience won't have been lost on her. Islanova is one of the more interesting debutants for Sir Michael Stoute, whose debutants always warrant a closer look, and the services of Ryan Moore are a major positive, while Chorus is also respected.

STRUTTING was too green to do herself justice at Sandown on debut 2 weeks ago but she can put that experience to good use up against some interesting newcomers, including True Cyan and Islanova.

Strutting ran okay on debut but this will probably go to a newcomer. There's good reason to expect a big run from MALLAVELLY.

G'daay is a specialist over this trip and has won off this mark before, which suggests that he can go close. However, LOVE DE VEGA won at Hamilton and Musselburgh before finding the company too hot at Ascot in a better race last time and he can go close back down in grade. Legal Reform is an alternative who could go well on his first start for a new yard.

EVOCATIVE SPARK confirmed the promise of his previous run here when running out an emphatic winner over C&D 2 weeks ago and, remaining with handicapping scope on the pick of last season's form, all looks set fair for another big run. Hodler travelled well for a long way at Newbury and back at the scene of his last success is a threat. Legal Reform and Justcallmepete are others in the mix.

Love De Vega can go well but EVOCATIVE SPARK (nap) has found his form again and is still well treated despite his win last time.

Former Group 2-winning veteran Safe Voyage took full advantage of a falling mark at Chester last time and remains of interest despite a 5lb rise, while similar sentiments apply to fellow last-time-out winners Helm Rock and Maywake, who have both been hit with a 6lb rise for career-best efforts. For all that, if there is any value here, it may lie with proven soft-ground performer MILLEBOSC, who could potentially relish this return to 1m from an ever-plummeting mark.

ENFJAAR found little in the Jersey at Royal Ascot three months ago but he'd looked highly promising before that and is worth a chance to get back on the up now handicapping. Last-time-out winners Maywake and Safe Voyage head the dangers.

3yos do well in this race so the vote goes to ENFJAAR (nap) who failed to fire in the Jersey but looked very promising prior to that.

ENTHUSED had Simply Red (second) and Glorious Zoff (fourth) behind when going in by just over a length at Uttoxeter latest and, considering the manner of his victory, he could easily confirm that form to record the double. Coolnaugh Haze was an easy winner of a class 4 event last time and he could take a step forward to get involved, while Castel Gandolfo rates best of the rest.

James Owen holds a very strong hand, with COOLNAUGH HAZE taken to build on last month's Worcester success and make it 2-2 for the yard. His stablemate Enthused can confirm recent Uttoxeter superiority over Simply Red and give him most to think about.

The progressive ENTHUSED is taken to complete a hat-trick by beating his stable companion Coolnaugh Haze and Castel Gandolfo.

ENVOI ALLEN can sometimes throw in a poor run, as he did in last season's King George, but he has a flawless record first time out and should be too good for these. He beat Kemboy in a Grade 1 at Down Royal on his reappearance last term and was right back to his best when defeating Shishkin in the Ryanair at Cheltenham. Easy Game excels in these small-field contests and is going for his third win in this race. His only defeats in his last 10 starts have been in successive renewals of the Galway Plate and he will be there to capitalise if the selection is below par. Gentlemansgame looked an exciting novice prospect when beating the subsequent Irish National winner at Leopardstown last Christmas, but didn't run again. This is a stiff task for one with so little experience.

A good opportunity for last season's Ryanair winner ENVOI ALLEN, who has an excellent record fresh. Smart staying hurdler Gentlemansgame made a promising start over fences when winning at Leopardstown in December so is next best ahead of Easy Game, who needs to shrug off a poor run at Galway.

Great to see ENVOI ALLEN out so early and his high-class form, plus his unblemished record first-time-out, means he can't be opposed

Slight preference is for FRANBERRI, who ran a highly encouraging race on her debut when dwelling at the start and running on well for second at Yarmouth. With improvement expected for that experience, she can get the better of the recent Kempton fourth Trust House and Kardia, who has a 7lb penalty to overcome for a taking success over C&D in April.

FRANBERRI made a promising start when runner-up at Yarmouth and the 7 lb she receives from penalised C&D-winner Kardia may prove decisive.

This looks good for Roger Varian's filly FRANBERRI, who ought to build upon last month's very encouraging debut at Yarmouth.

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

YAMALIA STAR might be able to give weight and a beating to all her rivals. Jack Davison's filly ran quite well to be fifth in a Newbury handicap last time and her domestic maiden form before that had been creditable. The daughter of Sea The Stars ran well on yielding ground when chasing home a useful type over course and distance in July. One's eyes are always drawn to John Murphy's runners at this venue and Laudable, who gets plenty of weight from the selection, showed more when fourth at Navan and may be suited by coming back in trip. Jeaniemacaroney was touched off on handicap debut at Clonmel and is now 4lb higher. She's again ridden by a very accomplished claimer but has totally different ground to contend with.

Joseph O'Brien saddles two appealing candidates in THE GREAT KINGDOM and Jeaniemacaroney. The latter is bound to be popular on the back of her improved handicap debut near-miss at the Curragh but The Great Kingdom has been handed what could be a lenient opening mark and he is marginally preferred. Laudable and Yamalia Star are others to consider.

Consistent in defeat on her last four starts, YAMALIA STAR could be able to get off the mark today.

Wild Goddess drops in class after coming home sixth in the Group 3 Sweet Solera Stakes last time out and, with the Charlie Appleby string in better form recently, she could go well despite top-weight. Whether she can successfully give 10lb to SHIN JIDAI is another question. The 7f maiden winner weakened to finish third over 1m at Thirsk latest and, now dropped in trip, she may have a lot more to offer. Falling For You and Miss Information are others to consider in a highly-competitive renewal.

The form of the nursery in which KEY TO COTAI was a creditable fifth at the York Ebor meeting looks very strong, with the runner-up subsequently winning a Group 3 and the third going on to land a valuable sales race. She is likely to be suited by this step up to 7f and gets the nod ahead of Liv My Life, who landed a decent contest at Goodwood last time and may also benefit from this stiffer test. Miss Information is third choice, while Falling For You and Shin Jidai are also shortlisted.

Having kept on well for fifth of 16 in a warm 6f nursery at York, KEY TO COTAI earns the vote now up in distance.

HONEYMOONER successfully recorded a double when going in by a nose at Ffos Las last time and she was only put up 1lb for that success, which may not be enough to prevent her from making it a hat-trick. Thebeautifulgame is a big player after a third at Sandown on her latest outing and she goes off the same rating here, while Compliant isn't ruled out either in a first-time visor.

COMPLIANT would have gone very close to winning without her late mishap here a fortnight ago and, with a first-time visor likely to aid her concentration, she's taken to gain compensation. Thebeautifulgame ran well on her return from a break at Sandown last month and is of interest now dropping into a 0-80, with the in-form Dandy's Angel also feared.

Stan Moore's runner has been dropped 1lb for his modest third over 7f at Lingfield last time and this lowly mark can be exploited. Tenyatta is feared most, while better can be expected of Desert Raider.

A chance is taken on PROFECTUS, who isn't badly bred and hinted on his Newmarket debut back in June that he'll do better at some stage. Serendipitous Lady is another who may improve now tackling nurseries, while Mist of Lir could also have a say if returning to the pick of his form.

In a weak race the tentative selection is nursery debutante SERENDIPITOUS LADY, who moves up in trip and sports a first-time visor.

You can make a fair case that OUR HAVANA has been let in lightly off an opening mark of 73, following a runner-up finish over 7f at Chester, and the son of Havana Grey can get off the mark on his handicap debut. The selection may get some pace pressure from Gone Rogue, who also moves into nurseries on the back of a good win at Musselburgh last time and won't go down easily. Burdett is another whose best days lie ahead and should be involved.

BURDETT and Gone Rogue both looked pretty professional second time out when landing maidens at Ffos Las and Musselburgh respectively, and they could be the pair to focus on here with likelihood of better to come. Marginal preference is for Burdett, for whom the forecast slow ground is of no concern. Defying Orders and Our Havana can do battle for minor honours.

Our Havana is improving with racing but BURDETT still has some potential and he is marginally preferred.

SHUIL DONN was quite a taking winner on his handicap debut at Southwell earlier in the month and Paul Collins' inmate might be able to defy a 10lb rise in the ratings. Balranald appreciated the switch to more positive tactics when collared late on at Kelso recently. The son of Mastercraftsman is dangerous to discount and may emerge as the chief threat to the selection, ahead of Man Of The Sea.

FLASHY BOY hasn't made much impact over hurdles as yet but he's been allotted a lowly mark for a point winner and the step up in distance should help, so he's worth taking a chance on. Shuil Donn is an obvious danger and Man of The Sea can't be ruled out.

Immediately reunited with Brian Hughes, SHUIL DONN can defy a 10lb rise for his Southwell romp, ahead of Prospect House.

It may pay to focus on those at the foot of the handicap and POSITIVE THINKER can make it two from two over fences. Consistent over flights last term, he went straight into a handicap off his hurdles mark to make a winning debut over fences at Tipperary in April. After a summer break, he made a pleasing return when second over hurdles at Ballinrobe and has shown an ability to handle testing ground. A Mere Bagatelle has improved a bit over fences this summer, with a win at Kilbeggan and a runner-up finish at Killarney on his latest jumps start. He stuck to his task well on that occasion and is another who won't mind deep ground. Willywampus was runner-up over C&D on heavy ground last season and got off the mark with a wide-margin success at Tramore in August. He likes to get on with things from the front but is likely to prove vulnerable to the closers.

POSITIVE THINKER justified good support to make a winning start over fences at Tipperary in April and was a good second over hurdles at Ballinrobe 2 weeks ago, so remains of interest back in this sphere. Irish Blaze and Willwampus are feared most.

Eyes down towards the foot of the handicap where the less exposed POSITIVE THINKER (nap) is preferred to A Mere Bagatelle

This can go the way of PLEDGEOFALLEGIANCE, who hinted at a return to form when a creditable third at Ascot over this distance in July. Given a small break since, the son of Sea The Stars can return to winning ways with conditions likely to suit. It may be that the C&D winner Haizoom gives him the most to think about, although Moon King must be of interest as well.

PLEDGEOFALLEGIANCE had excuses on his last 2 starts and can bounce back returning from a short break. Haizoom took a step back in the right direction at Musselburgh 2 weeks ago and scored over this C&D in June off 2 lb higher, so rates the main threat.

There is probably more to come from PLEDGEOFALLEGIANCE (nap), who collected two 1m6f handicaps earlier in the season.

A modest maiden and, even though he's had plenty of chances, RICK DALTON is chosen to finally make the breakthrough. He was beaten no more than a half a length when runner-up on three occasions for Ger Lyons and ran creditably at Listowel last week on his first start for Cian Collins. He's entitled to be fitter for that run having been off since early summer and Colin Keane knows him very well. He'll handle the ground but his stamina for this trip is a slight concern. Indigo Five, fourth in a Listowel handicap over 1m, has a fair bit to find on ratings but the daughter of Fast Company will relish testing ground and stepping back up in trip should be to her advantage. Three-time hurdles winner Penny Jar and heavy-ground bumper winner Chautuaqua, placed over hurdles at Listowel after a layoff, would ordinarily be opposable over this trip but conditions bring them into calculations.

The vote goes to CHAUTUAQUA, who performed with credit back from a break over hurdles at Listowel recently and makes her Flat debut in a race that probably won't take a great deal of winning. Rick Dalton and Indigo Five are likely to emerge as the main dangers.

A maiden that won't live long in the memory. RICK DALTON edges preference despite some concerns on the stamina front.

Three-year-olds get a 3lb age allowance here and that may tip the scales in the favour of Andrew Balding's GLENFINNAN. Put up 6lb for a win at Ascot last time out, he was value for more than the official margin of half a length suggests and may have more improvement to come after only seven starts. Darkness is capable of a big run off this mark for a stable in among the winners recently, while Modesty could also get involved where it matters if the cheekpieces help him to keep a straighter course.

A really competitive affair, with the in-form STAR OF ORION fancied to continue his good spell having held his form admirably in defeat since scoring on the July Course here in the summer. Veteran Accidental Agent ran well in the Bunbury Cup and wasn't beaten too far at Chepstow next time, so is another to merit consideration. Bajan Bandit is fractionally the most appealing of the 3-y-os and he can complete the placings.

Star Of Orion has solid claims but GLENFINNAN was suited by the return to 7f at Ascot and can improve again now back in a handicap.

Lockdown Lass struck in a similar race over 7f at this track earlier in the month and she has to be respected off a 3lb higher rating.

Mister Sox and Ring Of Gold complete the shortlist.

An open-looking finale but LOVE YOUR WORK bounced back to his best when finishing runner-up at Newcastle recently and operating from a lower turf mark, Rebecca Menzies' 7-y-o can snap a lengthy losing run with Franny Norton in the plate an added bonus. King's Code hasn't put a foot wrong for his new yard, so he may emerge as the main danger, with Roman Dynasty and Lockdown Lass another couple fancied to go well.

This contest seems to revolve around the performance of DEIRA MILE, who has made a pleasing start to his career and is fancied to shed his maiden tag. Charlie Johnston's charge shaped as if this extra yardage would suit when running on into third over 1m at Doncaster earlier this month and more improvement appears likely. A son of Masar, Prince Rasam rates as the biggest danger on debut, while Capla Mojo heads the remainder.

Charlie Johnston's son of Camelot DEIRA MILE holds the clear edge on form and with this step up to 1m2f also looking a positive he is hard to side against. Capla Mojo appeals as the one to chase him home on the back of his Yarmouth debut fifth ahead of newcomer Prince Rasam.

Charlie Johnson's DEIRA MILE sets a useful standard, having been placed in two good 1m turf maidens, and ought to get off the mark.

Prince Alex has won over C&D in the past and shaped last time like he's coming to hand, so has to be considered.

DARK JEDI goes well in the mud and hinted he's ready to cash in on his much-reduced mark at York last week, so he earns the vote. De Vega's Warrior is feared most ahead of Prince Alex.

G'day Aussie made the most of a career-low mark when getting up to win at Worcester in July, but the veteran could prove vulnerable racing off 6lb higher in this contest. ACCIDENTAL LEGEND comes with risks attached having lost his form towards the end of his campaign in March and April, but a 177-day break may have freshened the gelding up. My Brother Jack also warrants consideration.

FAZAYTE's strike rate in this sphere is pretty modest (1-18) but he goes well here and is appealing off a mark just 1 lb above that off which he landed a handicap chase on his latest jumps start at Haydock in April. Next on the list is the 2021 winner of this race, G'Day Aussie, who resumed winning ways on his second run following a spell on the sidelines at Worcester. Rhodia and My Brother Jack both enter calculations too, but last year's winner Misty Mani has a bit to prove at present.

A smart staying novice over hurdles, LETSBECLEARABOUTIT can make a winning chase debut. Gavin Cromwell's charge was classy in bumpers and achieved a healthy rating over hurdles after finishing fourth in the Albert Bartlett and the 2m4f Grade 1 novice at Aintree. He's eight already so there's no more time to delay his switch to fences. Largy Debut ran respectably behind some of the leading Irish novice chasers last term, but was inclined to make mistakes. Although a beaten favourite, he did little wrong when beaten by a subsequent Punchestown Festival winner at Cork in April and might just be a horse best caught fresh. Franciscan Rock's hurdles rating got a big bump upwards when he finished third in a Grade 1 novice hurdle at Punchestown and he ended the season with a mark only 3lb below that of the selection. His trainer has been looking forward to sending him over fences.

LARGY DEBUT has much less on his plate than when ninth in a Punchestown handicap last time so is taken to get off the mark in this sphere. Fencing newcomers Franciscan Rock and Letsbeclearaboutit both bring plenty of potential and rate big threats however in an intriguing contest.

However, it is SURFACE TO AIR who gets the nod after running his best race to date when third over 5f at Chepstow last time.

A low-level nursery with the vote going to SUPER SCHWARTZ, who left his previous effort behind when third on his handicap debut here (5f) 16 days ago and should have no problem with the return to 6f. Nouveaux and Surface To Air head the opposition.

Not best served by the way the race unfolded here last time, SUPER SCHWARTZ can confirm placings with Nouveaux.

18:30 Chelmsford Stakes (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

FAIR ANGELLICA was value for further when triumphing from an unfavourable position on her debut at Kempton earlier this month, and Richard Hughes' filly looks more than capable of completing a double. Perfect View hasn't been seen since striking at the first time of asking at Windsor back in May, but likely has more to offer on the step up in distance. Morindoo and My Noble Lord are a couple of newcomers to keep an eye on.

FAIR ANGELLICA overcame a slow start to make a successful debut at Kempton recently and, with improvement expected, she's up to defying a penalty. Morindoo is the pick of the newcomers on paper, and Perfect View is another one open to improvement.

Having overcome a slow start, greenness and traffic to win on her Kempton debut, FAIR ANGELLICA can defy the penalty.

19:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

THE WAITING GAME has proved a revelation since dropping to 6f and, despite being 7lb higher than last month's completed hat-trick, the four-year-old still looks ahead of her mark. Munificent regained the winning thread at Wolverhampton and is one to be wary of upped only 4lb in the ratings, while Araifjan is a potential improver having undergone a wind operation since his fourth-placed finish at the Midlands venue.

Having scored readily at Southwell last time, THE WAITING GAME Is fancied to follow up in a race where plenty have something to prove. Munificent should go well again and Sir Rodneyredblood is not dismissed.

The Waiting Game may be up to defying a 7lb rise but BEAR PROFIT (nap) likes it here and is used to running in better company.

19:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Sun Festival is likely to prove popular after getting back on the scoresheet over C&D recently. However, a 3lb rise in the ratings could leave the son of Toronado vulnerable, with CHAGALL making most appeal. The seven-year-old recorded a career-best performance when winning over this trip in July and subsequent efforts in defeat over a mile haven't been devoid of promise. The unexposed Frankfreya gained a breakthrough success here last month and is also considered.

FRANKREYA upped his game to score over C&D last time and, although he had nothing to spare, there's likely more improvement in him with few miles on the clock, so he takes preference over Sunset In Paris in an open race. Chagall is another one to consider.

20:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Things haven't dropped right for LAERTES of late but he keeps hinting his turn is near and he can gain a deserved success now he's been dropped another 2lb. Darlo Pride has been knocking on the door and should go close, but the wide draw tempers enthusiasm. El Hibri and Macho Mania are others to consider in an open race.

It could be worth taking a chance on handicap debutante BRAZEN GIRL, particularly if the market speaks in her favour. She has merely hinted at ability in three qualifying runs but has been handed a lowly opening mark as a consequence. El Hibri is an obvious threat in current form and he rates the main danger ahead of Last Date, who has gained all three of his career wins here and is lurking on a dangerous mark.

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

VOODOO RAY got tired on the soft ground at Brighton recently but this looks a good fit for him from an inside draw, and he can get back to winning ways from the front. Golden Moon looks interesting dropping back in trip and wouldn't have to find much to be a serious player. Nothing has gone right for Q Twenty Boy of late but if they go really hard up front, he could have a say in the finish.

UNDER CURFEW arrives here on a long losing run but he has been knocking on the door of late and perhaps the addition of cheekpieces will help him deservedly get his head back in front. Golden Moon left the impression that sprinting could be his thing when fourth over 7f here recently and he is feared, while Eyes is third choice ahead of Admirable Lad and Voodoo Ray.

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.
