13:05 Curragh Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Truth Be Told is the pick of those with previous racecourse experience. After catching the eye at Naas, he was made favourite at Galway but proved disappointing after missing the kick. A chance is taken on Jessica Harrington's SOME PERFORMANCE in light of the fact that the son of Breeders' Cup Mile winner Oscar Performance holds an entry in the Irish 2,000 Guineas. Balibel was first home in a barrier trial at Leopardstown and can put that experience to good use, while Aidan O'Brien starts off three sons of Wootton Bassett including Expanded, who is a half-brother to a juvenile Group 3 winner over 7f.

Aidan O'Brien looks to hold a very strong hard here with a trio of interesting newcomers and his SERENGETI is taken to emerge on top from stablemates Expanded and First Wave. Truth Be Told possesses much the best form of those with experience and can also have a say.

TRUTH BE TOLD has the experience edge over his rivals and he wouldn't need to improve much on his debut run at Naas to win this

(5) Canoodled (28/1 -12%)
Canoodled

28
28/1(-12%)
(5) Canoodled 28/1, Suited by a step up to 1¼m when landing a big-field handicap at York Ebor meeting but was back to her slow-starting ways when seventh of 9 in handicap (18/1) at Newbury (10f, soft) 14 days ago. Others make greater appeal.
First go at about 1m2f was a win at York in August; heavy ground an excuse on latest start.
8
1st (8) Ashariba (6/1 +0%)
Ashariba

6
6/1(+0%)
(8) Ashariba 6/1, Progressive sort made it 3 wins from her last 4 starts when winning 6-runner handicap (3/1) at Kempton (11f) 31 days ago. Travelled like a filly still well ahead of her mark on that occasion and she's a player despite 6 lb rise.
Has won four of her seven races, including 1m2f/1m3f handicaps on three of her last four.
4
2nd (4) Treasure (33/1 -200%)
Treasure

33
33/1(-200%)
(4) Treasure 33/1, Won a heavy ground maiden at Nottingham on her sole start at 2 yrs and posted a useful perormance when fourth in listed Oaks Trial at Lingfield (1½ lengths behind You Got To Me) on return. Down the field in Oaks/Golden Gates Handicap at Royal Ascot since and may need her mark to ease further.
Off for 105 days and perhaps she can put last two starts (Oaks and Royal Ascot) behind her.
7
3rd (7) Wisper (16/1 +36%)
Wisper

16
16/1(+36%)
(7) Wisper 16/1, A while without a win but has been shaping up well of late, finishing runner-up on 3 occasions this season. Would have been suited by a stronger gallop when seventh behind Warda Jamila in handicap at Haydock (10.2f, good) 30 days ago and isn't fully discounted.
Five of six wins were at Brighton and the latest was in May 2023; three seconds this term.
10
4th (10) Min Huna (9/2 -50%)
Min Huna

4.5
9/2(-50%)
(10) Min Huna 9/2, Promising type who improved when striking at the third time of asking in 1m Windsor maiden in July. Had something to spare when following up on her handicap bow in a 9-runner event at Sandown (10f, good) 36 days ago and should have better still to offer.
On a hat-trick; galloped on strongly upped to 1m2f last time and has more to offer.
11
5th (11) Noisy Jazz (15/2 +25%)
Noisy Jazz

7.5
15/2(+25%)
(11) Noisy Jazz 15/2, Debut winner on July course (1m) in August. Step up to listed level possibly come too soo soon when sixth of 9 in Galtres Stakes at York (11.8f) next time but back on track when third in Windsor novice (1m) 19 days ago. Interesting handicap newcomer.
Two good runs in 1m novices; tried 1m4f Listed race in between but 1m2f surely worth a go.
2
6th (2) La Pasionaria (18/1 +0%)
La Pasionaria

18
18/1(+0%)
(2) La Pasionaria 18/1, Debut winner at Salisbury last year and made an encouraging return to when fourth in the Musidora Stakes at York in May. Seemingly had her limitations exposed when mid-field in the Hoppings Stakes at Newcastle last time and she probably needs a shade more to defy this opening mark after a break.
Lightly raced and therefore should be unexposed after Group 3 attempts in May and June.
6
7th (6) Warda Jamila (3/1 +50%)
Warda Jamila

3
3/1(+50%)
(6) Warda Jamila 3/1, Built on several promising efforts to win a 10-runner handicap at Haydock (10.2f, good) 30 days ago. Scored only narrowly there but did well to overcome a troubled passage and can go well again from 4 lb higher mark.
Had to bide her time when she scored in last-gasp fashion at Haydock (1m2f) latest start.
12
8th (12) Queen Of Soldiers (25/1 -108%)
Queen Of Soldiers

25
25/1(-108%)
(12) Queen Of Soldiers 25/1, Close second at Ascot on her debut and got back on track switched to a handicap when 1½ lengths third of 7 to Yorkshire Lady at Ayr (10f, good to firm, 5/1) 16 days ago. Blinkers now applied and she holds place claims again.
Third to Yorkshire Lady on handicap debut at Ayr (1m2f); lightly raced and tries headgear.
1
9th (1) Karmology (9/2 +68%)
Karmology

4.5
9/2(+68%)
(1) Karmology 9/2, Useful filly who landed 10f York handicap in July before filling the runner-up spot in listed races there on her next 2 outings. Not seen to best effect at Yarmouth last time and she's respected returned to handicap company.
Did well before disappointing favourite in Listed race at at Yarmouth on latest outing.
3
10th (3) Maggie's Way (25/1 0%)
Maggie's Way

25
25/1(0%)
(3) Maggie's Way 25/1, Largely held her form well after making a winning return at Nottingham (1m, heavy) last season but can only be watched on her comeback from a 12-month absence in this company.
Had a very solid campaign over 1m last term; this is a belated reappearance over new trip.
9
11th (9) Yorkshire Lady (16/1 -33%)
Yorkshire Lady

16
16/1(-33%)
(9) Yorkshire Lady 16/1, Scored on her hurdles debut in February and has been in good form since returning to the Flat this summer, getting back to winning ways in a 7-runner handicap at Ayr (10f, good to firm, 7/2) 16 days ago. Respected.
Won at Ayr (1m2f, good) latest; back up 3lb but her peak mark was another 8lb higher.

13:30 Newmarket Handicap (Class 2) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Hat-trick seeker MIN HUNA won cosily when stepped up to 1m2f at Sandown most recently and looks progressive enough to cope with an 8lb higher mark. The softer ground is something of a concern for the selection but she's worth sticking with for now. Ashariba also bids to complete a three-timer and is feared most back on turf, albeit off 6lb higher than her win at Kempton last month. Warda Jamila and Karmology complete the shortlist.

MIN HUNA found another chunk of improvement when making a winning handicap debut at Sandown 5 weeks ago and William Haggas' filly can improve further to complete the hat-trick. Warda Jamila was value for extra when gaining a deserved success at Haydock last month and is respected again, whilst the prolific Ashariba has been improving all the time recently and also makes the shortlist.

There is plenty to like about Min Huna, Ashariba and Warda Jamila but NOISY JAZZ may scupper them on her handicap debut.

Arabian Angel

3.5
7/2(-17%)
(3) Arabian Angel 7/2, Dark Angel colt who cemented the positive start made when second here on debut when filling same spot in 5-runner novice at Haydock 96f) 4 weeks ago. Shortlisted with the prospect of more to come now upped in trip.
Runner-up in both starts and has shaped as though this step up to 7f will suit; big player.

2nd (1) Seraph Gabriel (6/5 +52%)
Seraph Gabriel

1.2
6/5(+52%)
(1) Seraph Gabriel 6/5, Saxon Warrior colt who confirmed debut promise despite still looking in need of the experience when winning 5-runner Lingfield maiden (7f) back in July. Well on top at the finish then and big player under a penalty with prospect of more to come.
Landed the odds at Lingfield (7f) in July and he's respected under penalty on return.
9
3rd (9) Mystical Storm (7/1 -56%)
Mystical Storm

7
7/1(-56%)
(9) Mystical Storm 7/1, Promising type. Third of 12 in maiden (40/1) at Haydock (7f, good) on debut 30 days ago, faring best of those held up. Looks sure to build on that initial effort.
Caught the eye with his debut third at Haydock and he should know more this time.
12

Thanks Angel

3.333333
10/3(+5%)
(12) Thanks Angel 10/3, 120,000 gns Dark Angel filly. Knew her job and displayed plenty of ability when third of 9 in maiden at Doncaster (7f, good, 11/1) on debut 22 days ago. Should progress.
Promising third on Doncaster debut last month; big player if she can build on that.

Optimatum

50
50/1(-456%)
(10) Optimatum 50/1, Foaled March 17. £95,000 yearling, Wootton Bassett colt. Half-brother to 2-y-o 6f winner Beyond Borders. Dam unraced sister to smart 2-y-o 7f winner Thunder Moon. Noteworthy newcomer.
£95,000 yearling; plenty to like on paper and interesting to see how he figures in market.

6th (6) Fitzmaurice (15/2 -25%)
Fitzmaurice

7.5
15/2(-25%)
(6) Fitzmaurice 15/2, 470,000 gns yearling who is bred to be useful and there has been encouragement in pair of starts to date, keener than ideal but still matching debut form when seventh of 11 in novice at Kempton (7f) 29 days ago. In top hands and he remains with potential.
Showed promise at Newbury but he faded at Kempton last time and others are preferred.
2
7th (2) Analogical (100/1 -203%)
Analogical

100
100/1(-203%)
(2) Analogical 100/1, Foaled March 3. Ulysses gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 6f winner Endowed and 2-y-o 6f winner Lion's House. Makes appeal on paper and the market should prove a useful guide on debut.
Gelded half-brother to some useful winners and needs checking in market on debut.
11

Promise Time

300/1(-200%)
(11) Promise Time 300/1, Once-raced maiden. Tenth of 12 in maiden at Newcastle (7.1f, 100/1) on debut 25 days ago, racing freely and dropping away final 1f. Best watched.
Dropped right out when 100-1 at Newcastle (7f, AW) last month; opposable.
5

Drumcondra

125
125/1(-279%)
(5) Drumcondra 125/1, Foaled March 8. €28,000 yearling, Showcasing gelding. Dam, unraced, closely related to high-class 1¼m winner Fascinating Rock, won Champion Stakes/Tattersalls Gold Cup. Yard 2-19 with their juveniles on turf so far this season.
Has good standard to aim at on debut and he's probably a longer-term prospect.

Golden Crossing

250

(7) Golden Crossing 250/1, Golden Horn colt. Bred to need time and distance and shaped in kind when eleventh of 12 in maiden at Newcastle (7.1f, 40/1) on debut 25 days ago. One for later on.

Well held in both his runs and has stacks to find here.

13:35 Redcar Stakes (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Seraph Gabriel took a step forward from his debut effort at Newbury to score over 7f at Lingfield in July and he should mount a serious challenge, despite a 6lb penalty. However, THANKS ANGEL looks the way to go. The Dark Angel filly shaped with plenty of promise to make the frame on debut at Doncaster and, with any amount of improvement to come, she looks the one to beat. Arabian Angel is another to consider.

SERAPH GABRIEL concedes weight all-round on the back of success at Lingfield in July yet his strength at the finish that day was quite taking, so he could be up to the task with the prospect of more to come. Arabian Angel is another who remains with potential and is feared, along with Haydock eyecatcher Mystical Storm and Thanks Angel, who made a bright start herself at Doncaster 3 weeks ago.

Top of the list is ARABIAN ANGEL, who has leading claims on his two runner-up efforts and is open to progress at this new trip.

13:40 Curragh Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

GISELLE stands out here given the fact that she was sent off odds-on when beaten by talented stablemate Bedtime Story at Leopardstown in June. The latter went on to win her next three starts in stakes company including a Group 2 and the selection, although possibly vulnerable after an absence, should be hard to beat. Aidan O'Brien also runs a couple of interesting newcomers in the shape of Galileo filly Eternal Spirit and Mariinsky Theatre, who is a sister to a dual Group 3 winner. Edge Of Seventeen was a promising third on debut at Naas, while Kitty Rickets showed improvement when second at Cork.

Aidan O'Brien's Frankel filly GISELLE made a very promising start when runner-up at Leopardstown in June and can return in style here. Stablemates Eternal Spirit and Mariinsky Theatre both make plenty of appeal on paper and can chase home the selection in that order. Edge of Seventeen completes the shortlist.

GISELLE only found the now 112-rated Bedtime Story too good on debut and could be a cut above her rivals

13:50 Ascot Listed (Class 1) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Relief Rally (second) narrowly got the better of DEMOCRACY DILEMMA (fourth) when the pair met over this trip in a Newbury Group 3 last month, but the latter probably did too much too soon on that occasion. If proving more tractable under Jamie Spencer, Robert Cowell's charge gets the vote to reverse the form en route to victory. Beautiful Diamond wasn't disgraced when eighth in the Flying Five at the Curragh last month and she must enter calculations with her sights lowered.

RELIEF RALLY can confirm recent Newbury superiority over Democracy Dilemma and open her account for the year. Beautiful Diamond looks pick of the remainder.

In an open event, a chance is taken on RUMSTAR whose handicap form is very solid. Relief Rally is feared most.

13:55 Gowran Park Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MAGIC THUNDER, Naturally Nimble, Game Phoenix and Kaptain Bay look the ones to focus on, with preference for the Gordon Elliott-trained former. While he doesn't jump off the page on breeding, he won both starts on the level in his native France. Sure to be well schooled for his first try over flights, the Gigginstown House Stud-owned bay is likely to go close. After many good efforts in defeat, Naturally Nimble belatedly opened his account at Navan early last month, with Dylan Browne McMonagle later stating: "I think the best is yet to come." Game Phoenix and Kaptain Bay have the advantage of prior hurdling experience. Both filled the runner-up spot when last seen over flights and it'll come as no surprise if either manages to go a place better.

Those with hurdles experience do not set the bar too high so Flat winners NATURALLY NIMBLE and Magic Thunder may come to the fore. There's more substance to the form of the Joseph O'Brien inmate so he gets the vote. Kaptain Bay should be on the premises again.

The form of Joseph O'Brien in juvenile hurdles has been strong, and 83-rated Flat performer NATURALLY NIMBLE should be hard to beat

14:05 Newmarket Stakes (Class 2) 6f  Race Class Flow

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

THE DRAGON KING should relish the step back up to 6f. The son of Invincible Army was full of running when just denied over the minimum trip at Hamilton last month and the additional yardage is very much in his favour. Invincible Annice wasn't beaten far into third in that race and offers some each-way appeal over this longer trip. Twafeeg and Afentiko are others for serious consideration.

Several of these are closely matched on these terms but BRIGHTON BOY looks the solid option as he's proven on the ground and has plenty of experience for a race like this. Twafeeg hasn't been seen since a respectable run in the Albany and is potentially a big threat, while Fleetwater and Morte Point make each-way appeal at bigger odds.

The choice is TWAFEEG, not seen since finishing seventh in the Albany, but she had looked promising on her successful Doncaster debut.

14:10 Redcar Stakes (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Calibos progressed from his debut effort to finish third on heavy ground at Chester last month and he might put that experience to good use in this contest. That said, a chance can be taken on newcomer GOLBORNE, who is related to plenty of winners and represents the in-form Julie Camacho stable. The son of Dutch Art might be able to make an instant impression, while any market confidence behind Very Muddy Waters should be noted too.

The weaker of the two divisions with BINHAREER fancied to take a step forward from his midfield effort on debut at Leicester 25 days ago. Legend Forever offered something to work on himself when filling the same spot on his respective debut at Ayr recently and he's a threat. Market confidence behind newcomers, Stay Around, Golborne and Whatsgoingonmarvin would also need to be viewed positively.

Legend Forever is repected but BINHAREER shaped with significant promise at Leicester last month and might be the answer.

14:15 Curragh Listed 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

LITTLE QUEENIE has steadily gone up through the ranks in handicaps and ran well when fourth in stakes company over 5f at Tipperary latest. Paul Flynn's likeable grey is equally as effective over this trip and has a good record at this venue. Firebird was narrowly defeated by Shandy in a Group 3 contest at Naas but the latter, who has finished down the field in a handicap here since, was aided by racing on the quicker part of the track and might struggle to uphold that form. Dance Night Andday has had a fine season and landed a valuable handicap over 7f at Leopardstown last time.

FIREBIRD arrives on the up and looks the way to go on the back of her excellent Naas second last time out. Recent Leopardstown scorer Dance Night Andday rates a big threat though, with Oujda and Little Queenie also in the picture.

FIREBIRD (nap) was an expensive purchase and she is 5lb better off with Shandy for a head beating when the pair met at Naas

14:25 Ascot Group 3 (Class 1) 12f  Race Class Flow

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

The classy AL AASY (first) readily got the better of Al Qareem (second) when the pair met over an extended 1m5f in the Geoffrey Freer Stakes at Newbury in August and, with the step back in trip unlikely to hinder the son of Sea The Stars, he gets the nod to land the spoils once more. Hamish arrives on the back of a couple of below-par efforts at Newmarket and Kempton, but he doubtless has the ability to play a hand in a race of this nature and merits consideration on the comeback trail.

Last year's winner AL QAREEM could prove hard to peg back here with no other obvious front runners, so he shades the vote over very smart stablemates Al Aasy and Hamish, who both carry a 3 lb penalty.

The most solid option on soft ground appears to be the dependable AL QAREEM. 3yo God's Window might just be the surprise package.

14:30 Gowran Park Maiden Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

While Apple's Of Bresil is likely to prove popular with punters, he failed to justify favouritism when last seen at Galway and it might be worth taking him on. COUMEENOOLE, Colonel Nelson and Taponthego are interesting point-to-point graduates in the line-up, with preference for the Paul Nolan-trained former. Previously in the care of the shrewd Jonathan Fogarty and a winner on debut at Ballindenisk in May, he beat Millforce into second, with that one successful in both starts since. Out of a smart four-time winner, the selection was bought by current connections for 180,000 pounds. The aforementioned Colonel Nelson and Taponthego are both capable of making an impact, while Wexford runner-up Laravie is another leading hope.

COUMEENOOLE and Taponthego are interesting recruits form the pointing field and the former, who fetched £180,000 after winning his sole start in that sphere, is marginally preferred. Apple's of Bresil is much the best of those with experience under Rules and will be a big threat.

It is hard to look beyond APPLE'S OF BRESIL, unlucky in a pair of Galway maiden hurdles with the step up in trip likely to suit

14:40 Newmarket Group 1 (Class 1) 8f Race Class Flow

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

INSPIRAL was imperious in this race 12 months ago and would be hard to beat if she recaptures that level of form. The daughter of Frankel acts with juice in the ground and can be expected to have been primed for back-to-back wins. Stable companion Nashwa is no back number and adds depth to the race. Tamfana (fourth) and Elmalka (winner) are closely matched on the 1000 Guineas form and the former might be able to turn the tables.

This isn't an easy race to assess but the Gosden-trained 5-y-os NASHWA and Inspiral do have the slight edge on form over the 3-y-os. Inspiral was very impressive in this a year ago but hasn't looked quite the same mare this term, so the versatile Nashwa is just preferred on her return to action. Sea The Fire could be the pick of the Classic generation.

A fascinating Sun Chariot may go to the improving SEE THE FIRE (nap) who arrives after a ready win against male rivals in the Strensall.

14:45 Redcar Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

DANDY'S ANGEL struck in commanding style over 1m4f at Hamilton on her most recent outing and carries a 4lb penalty for that triumph. John Wainwright's seven-year-old is in brilliant form and should have no issues with the drop in trip to complete the hat-trick. Jesmond Dawn was third in this grade at Musselburgh last time and is an interesting contender on his first attempt at this trip, while Casilli is next best.

LZAZ caught the eye in his final qualifying run and with this trip sure to suit now handicapping, he may well find the necessary improvement required for his leading stable. Solar Bentley and hat-trick seeking mare Dandy's Angel are a couple of potential threats.

Plenty have claims but the vote goes to the unexposed 3yo LZAZ, who looks interesting upped to 1m2f on handicap debut,

14:50 Curragh Handicap 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

THE BEAR TRAP is still seeking a first victory but has gone close several times, including over course and distance in May. John Geoghegan's three-year-old was coming back from a break when not beaten far at Fairyhouse recently and gets the vote. Mile End turns out quickly under a penalty after bolting up over a mile at Bellewstown on Wednesday. She won here over this trip as a two-year-old and any rain that arrives will help her cause. Never Shout Never has been running consistently of late.

SURPASS AND SHINE has been knocking on the door under Billy Lee in recent starts and can gain a deserved success. Last year's winner Sunday Sovereign looks set to make a bold bid in this race again after finishing a good second at Naas last time. 3-y-os Fivecromwellplace and Green Valentine complete the shortlist.

Many with chances but the vote goes to FIVECROMWELLPLACE, who has rock-solid form in C&D handicaps and went very close at Fairyhouse

15:00 Ascot Group 3 (Class 1) 6f  Race Class Flow

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

The unexposed JARRAAF impressed when giving weight and a beating to three subsequent winners over C&D in August. Although this is more demanding, he looks to improving at a rate of knots and it would be no surprise if he were able to make it a hat-trick of victories. Purosangue bumped into a thriving sprinter when finishing a close-up second over 6f at York latest and another bold bid is forecast, while Wiltshire didn't get the rub of the green when runner-up over the minimum trip at Haydock last month and he must enter calculations back at 6f.

JARRAAF is on a steep upward curve and clearly has a liking for this track, so he's the one to side with in a tightly-knit contest. Wiltshire faces a quick turnaround but is an obvious player on the back of a solid showing at Haydock, while the reliable Apollo One is one to respect.

There's a lot to be said for an unexposed course specialist and JARRAAF can step forward from two impressive C&D handicap wins.

15:05 Gowran Park Handicap Hurdle 24f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

While the forecast rain is a worry, it's difficult to look beyond the hat-trick seeking TALK IN THE PARK. He readily accounted for 19 rivals when last seen at Galway in July and although now on a career-high mark of 126, he will be aided by the 7lb claim of Tom Harney. Peter Smithers also takes 7lb off top-weight Happy Jacky, with this likeable 10-year-old the second choice. Successful three times from six starts this year, he is arguably in the form of his life at present. Handicap debutants Rosalys and Rocky's Diamond are of definite interest, while others for the shortlist are Beaufort Scale, Flash De Touzaine and admirable veteran Macgiloney.

The vote goes to ROSALYS, who did the job well when opening her account at Tramore and she can be expected to make further progress now pitched into a handicap. Rocky's Diamond is also open to improvement now handicapping and he is feared most ahead of the hat-trick seeking Talk In The Park and Beaufort Scale.

Preference is for the hat-trick seeking TALK IN THE PARK. He's up 10lb for Galway but his jockey claims 7lb and he should stay 3m.

15:15 Newmarket Handicap (Class 2) 12f Race Class Flow

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

A half-sister to Group 3 winner Kemari, who won over further, CHORUS is bred to improve for going up in trip and she gave the impression the extra yardage would suit when rallying late in the piece for third over 1m2f here last time out. William Haggas' filly is narrowly preferred to easy Kempton scorer Incensed and Cabrera, who went close in a similar type of contest at Doncaster last time.

Lots with chances but TYPICAL WOMAN still looks ahead of her mark despite being hit with a 9 lb rise by the official assessor so edges the vote in her hat-trick bid. Course-winner Big Bear Hug heads the list of dangers, although D Day Arvalenreeva, Tafsir and Chorus can all have a say too.

The two best options may be CHORUS and Tafsir, with Cabrera and Typical Woman also on the shortlist.

15:20 Redcar Listed (Class 1) 6f  Race Class Flow

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

A highly-creditable third in the Mill Reef and second in the July Stakes earlier in the season, BILLBOARD STAR can take advantage of a drop in grade as he looks to land this valuable Listed affair. An eye-catcher when staying on well for second from a difficult position at Ayr last time out, Uncle Don is likely to appreciate going back up in distance, while Francisco's Piece is another to note after a narrow reversal at Haydock. Educating Rita and Northern Ticker are just two others to make the shortlist.

BILLBOARD STAR is the one to beat back down in class having acquitted himself well in pattern company on 3 of his last 4 starts. Uncle Don is most progressive so is feared most ahead of Francisco's Piece, who took his form to another level on nursery bow when going close off 97 at Haydock last week.

Billboard Star is respected but the vote goes to UNCLE DON, who was a big eyecatcher when second in a Listed race at Ayr last time.

15:25 Curragh Handicap 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

WHIMSY has strong claims after gaining a deserved win last time. That came over 1m6f at Carlisle and followed a fine second over this trip at York when Aine O'Connor was on board. Zoffanien comes here in good form but has been running over longer trips and may have to settle for minor honours again. Polemon was a winner over this distance at Tipperary last month and has posted a couple of solid efforts since, while Sylkie is also noted.

WHIMSY went close at York under Aine O'Connor prior to scoring at Carlisle and still looks nicely handicapped back from a break. Zoffanien, the mount of Jody Townend, heads the dangers along with last month's Galway winner Sylkie and Denis Hogan's Polemon.

Aine O'Connor got a good tune out of the consistent WHIMSY at York back in June and you would imagine this race has been a target since

15:35 Ascot Handicap (Class 2) 7f  Race Class Flow

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

AKKADIAN THUNDER caught the eye when staying on to take the silver medal home in this grade over track and trip last month and a 2lb rise might prove to be on the lenient side for that effort. David O'Meara's four-year-old showed his versatility in regards to ground on that occasion and has lots in his favour to go one better. Volterra was only beaten a length into second at York in August and he is one to take seriously off 4lb higher. Germanic and Qirat are others to consider in a wide-open heat.

This is wide open but Ralph Beckett's upwardly-mobile QIRAT could prove the answer given he handles soft conditions well and the form of his recent Goodwood victory has been well advertised. Fellow 3-y-o Germanic also looks to have better days ahead of him and heads the list of dangers, although a solid case can also be made for Akkadian Thunder, Volterra, Carrytheone and Mirsky in this fiercely competitive handicap.

The vote goes to POPMASTER who goes on any ground and is 2lb lower than when beaten a nose in this race last year.

15:40 Gowran Park Conditions Chase 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Gordon Elliott and Willie Mullins both saddle two, in what is a quality renewal of this Grade 2 contest. Elliott's CONFLATED is the only runner in the line-up to have won at the highest level and looks the one to beat. A brilliant servant to connections, the 10-year-old was third in the Ryanair at Cheltenham in March, before running another excellent race in defeat when second to Jonbon in the Melling at Aintree. Saint Sam and Saint Roi are the Mullins representatives and both have race fitness on their side. The hat-trick seeking former was last seen winning over flights at Auteuil and is sure to prove popular with punters. Ash Tree Meadow finished ahead of French Dynamite, Saint Roi and Solness in the Galway Plate and can confirm his superiority over those rivals now.

This represents a good opportunity for CONFLATED to get his head back in front, for all that the Willie Mullins-trained pair Saint Roi and Saint Sam will offer stern resistance. The selection hasn't managed to hit the target since landing the Savills Chase at Leopardstown in December 2022, but his last six starts (and 13 of his last 14 appearances overall) have been in Grade 1 company and he will appreciate this drop in class.

Back in a smaller field, ASH TREE MEADOW could be the answer. This is his optimum trip and he is narrowly preferred over Saint Sam.

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

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

Placed on both career outings at Sandown, WILD NATURE sets the standard on form and the experience gained from those efforts should stand him in good stead. The form of his stable is a big plus and the son of Kingman gets the vote ahead of costly newcomer Nebras, who is a half-brother to stable star Nashwa. A disappointment on debut at Ascot when going off favourite, Cape Breton could be a different proposition on this occasion.

WILD NATURE's experience edge ought to count for plenty here and the Godolphin in-mate can make that count possibly at the chief expense of highly appealing newcomer Nebras, a half-brother to connections very smart Nashwa. Cape Breton is another likely to leave the form of his Ascot debut well behind for his powerful stable.

Wild Nature sets the standard but CAPE BRETON shaped better than his Ascot result suggests. Nebras is half-brother to Nashwa.

15:55 Redcar Listed (Class 1) 7f Race Class Flow

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

GREY'S MONUMENT can land a first Pattern success since the Hyde Stakes at Kempton in December last year. A taking winner from the front at Ascot last time out, the four-year-old should enjoy these conditions and it may be the capable handicapper Northern Express that gives him the most to think about on the step back up in trip. Ramazan could be better suited by bigger fields, but he remains a gelding with plenty of ability.

GREY'S MONUMENT returned from a 10-week break better than ever when running out a ready winner of a 13-runner handicap at Ascot (7f) 4 weeks ago and, arriving here fresh for this time of year, he looks to hold sound claims back up in class with a repeat. Northern Express and Ramazan can emerge as the chief threats.

Ralph Beckett's GREY'S MONUMENT took his form to a new level when scoring in good style at Ascot last month and gets the nod.

16:00 Curragh Handicap 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Having met over C&D last weekend, there is little to choose between Harry's Hill, Emerald Harmony, GREEK FLOWER and Apache Outlaw. The selection won twice last year, including once at this venue, and has been runner-up in a couple of valuable Curragh handicaps this term. Dontspoilasale (second) and Harry's Hill (third) filled the minor places over 5f at Down Royal on Monday, while Grand City Hall has won twice over 6f at Cork this year.

GREEK FLYER has been shaping up very well despite failing to add to her tally in 2024, really strong at the finish over C&D a week ago so she might be the answer. Grand City Hall and Harry's Hill look to be the chief threats.

A first win of the season wouldn't be coming out of turn for GREEK FLOWER who has been running fine races and is good in the autumn

16:05 Southwell Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Cymbidium was on target over the mile at Thirsk before perhaps being unsuited by a drop in trip at Ayr. David O'Meara's filly remains on the same mark and must be of interest, but preference is for WILTSHIRE LAD. The son of Wootton Bassett contested a few useful novice/maiden events and an opening mark of 78 could prove lenient on that evidence. He will appreciate a step up in trip and is fancied to make a winning nursery debut. Veraison is also noted.

Having landed a few bets on nursery debut at Thirsk, the drop to 7.2f looked against CYMBIDIUM at Ayr and he's fancied to resume his progress back over 1m switched to the AW. Mayor of Maghera doesn't have much to find with the selection so is second choice, ahead of Wiltshire Lad, who is a potential improver in headgear for a top yard.

This return to 1m looks sure to suit CYMBIDIUM (nap) if she takes to the AW. Wiltshire Lad is feared most.

(8) Key To Cotai 40/1, Useful filly who built on her reappearance run when winning big field Newmarket handicap (7f) in May. Good second at listed level next time but her exploits not so inspiring of late, seventh of 11 in Sceptre Stakes at Doncaster (7f) 20 days ago.
In good form in the summer but last two efforts have been below par; stable runs three.

16:10 Ascot Listed (Class 1) 7f  Race Class Flow

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

Elim beat Queen Of Mougins (third) and Key To Cotai (seventh) when just being touched off by a length into second in a Group 3 event at Doncaster last time and he is expected to confirm that form to go close. However, it may pay to side with HOPEFUL, who produced a career-best effort to fill the runner-up spot in the Kensington Palace here in June and she might have plenty more to offer. Andrew Balding's four-year-old has shown enough pace to cope with this drop in trip and she gets the nod. Ornellaia completes the shortlist.

ELIM has yet to get her head in front this term but she ran another cracker when runner-up in a Doncaster Group 3 on her latest outing 3 weeks ago and she earns the vote to deservedly resume winning ways with her yard enjoying a fine season. Queen of Mougins, who was narrowly behind the selection latest, is another big player, with Hopeful and the returning Ornellaia others to consider.

Elim finished a nose in front of QUEEN OF MOUGINS last time but Ralph Beckett's 3yo can emerge on top in first-time cheekpieces.

16:15 Gowran Park Handicap Chase 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

After yet another brave front-running performance at Roscommon on Monday, KILASHEE is taken to follow up. The admirable John Ryan-trained nine-year-old has already won five times this season and while up to a career-high mark over fences, she will be aided by the 5lb claim of Conor Stone-Walsh. Returning from a break, Midnight Our Fred is an obvious danger. Placed on his last four starts and third on his most recent outing in the Killarney National, the seven-year-old certainly wouldn't be winning out of turn. Handicap debutant Caesar Rock, Kilbeggan runner-up Banjaxed and Noel Meade's Charlie Luciano are others for the shortlist.

CHARLIE LUCIANO looked ahead of his mark last time and has a fully-fledged rider back on board, so he gest the nod over Kilashee, who showed a good attitude to score at Roscommon 5 days ago. Banjaxed also merits plenty of respect.

The one that appeals most is CHARLIE LUCIANO(nap). His run at Kilbeggan was encouraging and he has run well here over hurdles before.

16:20 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

SEA OF CHARM was value for more than the winning margin after enduring a luckless passage when scoring over C&D last month, and she should prove tough to stop with a reproduction of that effort off a 4lb higher mark. Opticality warrants respect returning to the level off 3lb higher than her last winning mark, while this step up in trip should help Bay Of Australia to be seen to better effect and he completes the shortlist.

WHERE IS THE LOVE has run creditably on her last 2 outings and, with the step up to 1½m well worth exploring, she's fancied to open her account. Sea of Charm and Bay of Australia head the opposition.

Preference is for SEA OF CHARM who isn't the most prolific but who has recorded her last two wins over C&D, the latest eight days ago.

16:25 Newmarket Maiden (Class 2) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Charlie Appleby and William Buick are often a force to be reckoned with on the Rowley Mile and Secret Theory, who is related to a handful of useful types, merits the utmost respect on debut. However, preference is for CROWN OF OAKS. A 260,000gns purchase, the son of Wootton Bassett looks the part on paper and, with his yard enjoying a decent spell of form, it would come as no surprise were he to make an immediate impact. Others to note include Spirit Of Summer and Palmarian.

A few interesting newcomers, none more so than Godolphin's SECRET THEORY. Palmarian, Moutai and Crown of Oaks are other debutants who make paper appeal, while Dewhurst-entry Dragonflame may prove pick of those with experience.

This can go to a newcomer and the well-bred SECRET THEORY gets a narrow vote ahead of Palmarian.

16:30 Redcar Handicap (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow

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

A comfortable winner over C&D last time out, when seeing off the reopposing Empire Of Light (second) and Zozimus (third), NAEPOINT sets the standard and a 5lb rise could prove lenient. A consistent sort this year, Zapphire is better than what she showed at Leopardstown last time out and is a key player. Cruyff Turn, who remains 14lb lower than his career-high mark, is another to note following a taking success over 7f at Thirsk last time out.

Having deservedly resumed winning ways on her penultimate start, ZAPPHIRE found the run of the race completely against her when down the field at Leopardstown 3 weeks ago. She's well worth another chance to prove her revised mark a workable one and earns the vote under her promising 7 lb claimer. Naepoint and Zozimus are others to consider, whilst Cruyff Turn remains well treated on old form and was successful at Thirsk 4 weeks ago.

Tim Easterby has won five of the last eight renewals and may well be able to strike again with recent Thirsk winner CRUYFF TURN (nap).

16:35 Curragh Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

WRIST ART won twice around this time last year including on soft ground over a mile at Thurles and is down to a competitive mark. The Tim Doyle-trained gelding got no luck in running at Listowel last time and may reverse places with the runner-up Clarita. Nahori and Lady Arwen have similar profiles to the selection having also dropped in the ratings and come here off the back of promising runs. Hurricane Helen is another for the shortlist following her recent third at Dundalk.

HURRICANE HELEN ran up to her best at a trip that stretched her when third at Dundalk 2 weeks ago, which suggests she may still have a bigger performance in her. Lady Arwen and Clarita head the dangers.

Darragh O'Sullivan has been impressing and his presence in the saddle is a plus for ANVIKA who ran well over this trip at Navan

16:40 Southwell Stakes (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Sardinian Warrior was an impressive winner over C&D in April and, though respected under the penalty, he might find it difficult conceding weight to the Roger Varian-trained TAWAJJAH. The son of Frankel pushed a now 87-rated rival all the way on his comeback at Windsor last month and, with improvement likely, he can go one place better. Warm Response appeals most of the newcomers.

This looks between TAWAJJAH and Sardinian Warrior, with marginal preference for the former who went close on his belated seasonal reappearance at Windsor and there should be plenty more to come from him. Corundum stepped up on his debut when putting in good late work to finish third over C&D last month and he can be expected to pick up a race sooner rather than later. Newcomer Warm Response will be of interest if the market speaks in his favour.

This can go to SARDINIAN WARRIOR who had Group-race aspirations in the spring and was a wide-margin winner over C&D in April.

C&D win this summer; a shade high in the weights but she's 2-2 on ground slower than good.

(4) Venture Capital 10/3, Dual winner at 2 yrs and has landed 2 of his last 3 starts, either side of a good second in a 3-y-o handicap over 6f here in August. Proved himself over the minimum trip when proving 1½ lengths too good for Haymaker at Doncaster last time but this is more demanding up 6 lb.

However, she was never in the hunt in the Portland 7 days later and while she was second in this race 12 months ago, others make more appeal.
Three C&D wins as well as close 2nd in this race in 2023; should get strong pace she needs.

Won this off 13lb higher last year; running okay this year without quite the same spark.

On the downside, he's been absent for 5 months and is unproven on ground this slow.

Put in another good shift when third in C&D race won by Woolhampton last time but one suspects that he will again find one or two too good.
In good form for new yard this summer, 3rd over C&D latest; other pace is on show here.

Conditions to suit; needs a career best to defy this mark but it's not out of the question.

16:45 Ascot Handicap (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Venture Capital accounted for Haymaker (second) when making it two wins from his last three starts at Doncaster last time and he could continue to improve through the ranks over this distance. However, the vote goes to CAJETAN, who may have been worth more than the winning margin suggests at Kempton in May and he is only 5lb higher for that triumph. The son of Advertise makes only his third handicap start and he could be good enough for this contest. Vintage Clarets is another to note.

JM JUNGLE is clearly at the top of his game at present, following his success at the York Ebor meeting with a near-miss in the Portland at Doncaster, and he is taken to get his head back in front here. He may have most to fear from Vintage Clarets, who rediscovered his shooting boots at Chester recently and a 3 lb rise for that is negligible. Fantasy Master also resumed winning ways last time and he is also shortlisted, along with Haymaker.

This prize may well be heading north as VINTAGE CLARETS (nap) is preferred to Jm Jungle and Venture Capital.

16:50 Gowran Park Maiden Chase 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MOSSY FEN PARK easily won a Nenagh point-to-point for Sean Doyle and showed smart form over hurdles, winning a maiden at the Down Royal Christmas meeting before finishing second to Captain Cody, also over this trip, in a Grade 2 at Fairyhouse. He was subsequently bought for 235,000 pounds to stay with Henry de Bromhead and rates an exciting recruit to fences. Rainbow Trail has a similar profile to the selection and was just denied on his only point start before landing a bumper and Navan maiden hurdle last season. Point-to-point winner Encanto Bruno looked smart when gaining a fourth success under Rules in a Cheltenham novice hurdle last autumn, but has proved disappointing since.

MOSSY FEN PARK was last seen (in March) finishing second in the Easter Festival Novices' Hurrdle at Fairyhouse and, given his background in points, it's notable that he makes an early switch to chasing for his return, so he's the one to side with for all that both Encanto Bruno and Rainbow Trail are other notable newcomers in this sphere.

A chance is taken on AN PEANN DEARG. He is proven on good ground, he has an experience edge over most of his rivals and he is fit.

16:55 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 9f Race Class Flow

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

GLENRIDDING ran out a cosy winner on his nursery debut over a mile at Yarmouth last month and he gets the vote to follow up off 4lb higher. Never The Twain was readily outpointed in a warm Newbury maiden over 7f when last seen, but she is surely capable of better and warrants consideration upped in trip. Iffraaj Power hasn't cut much ice in his three qualifying runs, but better can be expected for a yard who tend to excel with these types.

There's potentially more to come from GLENRIDDING now he's up and running, so he's the percentage call to follow up his recent win at Yarmouth. Never The Twain and Pine Cliffs are a couple of potential improvers now venturing into a nursery and need monitoring closely in the betting.

Most of his rivals remain very unexposed but recent Yarmouth winner GLENRIDDING is likely to be right in the thick of things.

17:00 Newmarket Handicap (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow

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

RAHEENA hasn't looked back since switching to the all-weather in August, winning at Kempton before following up on her handicap bow at Southwell last month. She is now 4lb higher back on the grass, but she is unlikely to have reached the ceiling of her ability yet and ought to have every chance of landing the hat-trick if handling these different conditions. The Eyes Have It finished second to the selection at Kempton and is taken to get closer, while Madame De Sevigne appeals most of the remainder.

Cases can be made for plenty, but MERESIDE DIVA was value for some additional credit given her position in a modestly-run affair when runner-up at Ayr a fortnight ago so is fancied to register a third success of the campaign at the expense of Raheena, who is a filly firmly on the up and arrives in search of a hat-trick. Testing conditions won't hinder Princess Alex, so she's marginally preferred to The Eyes Have It for third spot.

Raheena is tempting after back-to-back AW wins but she may be vulnerable to 7f specialist MERESIDE DIVA.

17:05 Redcar Handicap (Class 4) 14f Race Class Flow

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

HAVEYOUMISSEDME was doing his best work in the closing stages when running out a comfortable winner over an extended 1m4f at Chester last month and, stepping back up in trip off a 4lb higher mark, he gets the vote to bring up the double. Another prominent showing is forecast from Expressionless, who wasn't seen to best effect when runner-up over 1m6f at Haydock in August. There is also plenty to like about Yosemite Gold's chances and he merits respect on his handicap debut.

EXPRESSIONLESS shaped as if still having another race in him this season when second at Haydock so is preferred to the consistent Gibside and the prolific The Crafty Mole.

A few with chances but Dylan Cunha's EXPRESSIONLESS is taken to bag a third 2024 win on the back of a good Haydock second last time.

17:10 Curragh Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

POSITIVE ENERGY showed promise in maidens and has been placed twice since switched to handicap company including when not enjoying the clearest of passages over a similar distance at Galway last time. The Willie McCreery-trained gelding should still have scope for further improvement and gets the vote over Kinda Tiny, who won at Galway last year and again struck form in the autumn over this trip at Gowran last month. Alessia Fernanda's 7lb penalty for winning at Cork is cancelled out by Keithen Kennedy's claim, while others to consider include Selective Power, Magic Charm, Kiki Roberts and Redemptive Power.

REDEMPTIVE POWER took a step forward when runner-up at Dundalk and this lightly-raced 3-y-o could be the answer. Si Senior and Positive Energy both caught the eye last time and they head the dangers.

A nice easy finale. KIKI ROBERTS drops in grade after being narrowly beaten by a progressive sort at Navan and the pin lands on her

17:15 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Dropping in class could unlock a winning run from INHERIT, who was a respectable third on her only previous appearance here in August. The daughter of Kingman has been dropped 2lb since her latest start and this looks an ideal opening for her to strike gold for the first time. Marianglas is feared from just 5lb higher than her recent Newcastle success, while Go Wild is another low-milage contender who appeals on her handicap debut after a novice success over 1m at Lingfield.

Having shaped well in a trio of maidens, TIANITA appeals as the type to show herself in a better light now venturing down the handicap route and she shades preference ahead of recent Newcastle scorer Marianglas. Go Wild and Disclosure are, like the selection, interesting handicap debutantes, particularly the former who opened her account at the third attempt at Lingfield last month. Rawaasi is also worth a second look.

Preference is for class-dropper INHERIT, who has dropped another 2lb since her very respectable fifth at Kempton a fortnight ago.

17:25 Gowran Park Handicap Chase 18f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

JUNOT was generally consistent in handicap hurdles last season before opening his account at Wexford in May. The Mick Winters-trained gelding hasn't really fired on his latest two appearances, but perhaps the switch to fences will prove the spark as he ran a cracker on his only chase start at Clonmel earlier this year. Joeswayornoway gained the latest of two wins over fences at Killarney nearly two years ago but gave some encouragement when reappearing over hurdles at Wexford, while Finnians Row, Aliunde and Kate Ill Know are others to consider. Birdsandthebees has been supported on a number of occasions over hurdles, including at Punchestown this summer, and it will be interesting to see how she fares in her first chase.

ALIUNDE made a big impression when making a successful chasing debut and there were excuses for a lesser effort at Downpatrick since, so he looks the one to side with for all that Finnians Row arrives in good order. Kate Ill Know is a player but most of the others have plenty to prove.

Preference is for consistent top-weight FINNIANS ROW, who followed a fourth at Kilbeggan race with a close second at Downpatrick latest

17:30 Wolverhampton Maiden (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

SHEEPHAVENBAYSTORY showed up well for a long way before fading into fifth late on over 7f at Lingfield when last seen but, sporting a hood for the first-time, James Horton's filly gets the vote to get off the mark. Silca Bay ran on well to finish second over 6f at Windsor in August and he merits respect tackling 7f for the first time. Beta Reader and Flagon Dry are also noteworthy.

FLAGON DRY isn’t ideally drawn in stall 10 but he hails from a yard that has had a fair amount of success with its juveniles this year and, having shown promise on his recent C&D debut, he gets the nod. Beta Reader and Immediate Effect are a couple of noteworthy newcomers who require close market inspection.

This looks a good opportunity for SILCA BAY to break his duck. He has shown plenty of ability on turf and is bred to handle the AW.

17:37 Redcar Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

ELEGANT ERIN impressed when scoring over 5f at Beverley last month and a 2lb rise might just underestimate her. Our Absent Friends (first) got the better of Albegone (fourth) when the pair met over this trip at Ripon a week ago, and the former can confirm his superiority over that rival while also emerging as the main danger to the selection off a 2lb higher mark.

CURIOUS ROVER will find this a lot easier than the Ayr Silver Cup he contested a fortnight ago and with the return to 5f no bad thing, either, he looks the answer. Elegant Erin arrives in top form so she's a danger, with Seantrabh one to consider at longer odds.

The class-dropping Curious Rover is high on the list but OUR ABSENT FRIENDS can continue his good spell since cheekpieces went on.

17:45 Southwell Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

GRESSINGTON, a C&D winner on his racecourse debut last September, did what was required to win with first-time blinkers added over 6f at Redcar last month and should be progressive enough to cope with a 3lb higher mark here. Unexposed three-year-old Murashah is an appealing alternative on these terms and commands respect on his Tapeta debut. Grand Karat and Serenity Dream are others with each-way appeal.

There should be better to come from MURASHAH, who found just one too good in a big field on his handicap debut at Newbury where he encountered traffic problems at a crucial stage. Though Mustajaab recent form figures don't look particularly pretty, he has been contesting higher-grade handicaps than this and the 4-y-o is of strong interest back on this surface where he has a 100% record. Grand Karat is third choice.

Mustajaab is 2-2 over C&D and should do better but MURASHAH is open to most improvement following a solid handicap debut.

18:00 Wolverhampton Maiden (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

A highly-encouraging second when prominent throughout and outpaced by the winner late on over C&D last month, MAGIC GLOW should have learned plenty from that experience and she can now go one better. Via Luna may follow the selection home after a respectable fourth on her racecourse bow at Kempton, while Saxon Raider is another to consider as his pedigree promises improvement over this trip.

MAGIC GLOW shaped with a good deal of encouragement when runner-up on his C&D debut a couple of weeks ago and has to be considered the one to beat with improvement on the cards. Gordon Norse and Salve Electra are a couple of newcomers to keep a close eye on given they wouldn't need to be anything out of the ordinary to make a big impact.

The most obvious answer is MAGIC GLOW, who made a pleasing start to her career when second over C&D a fortnight ago.

18:15 Southwell Handicap (Class 3) 12f Race Class Flow

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

The longer trip was forwarded as a possible explanation for a below-par run from HIGH ORDER at Doncaster when he was last seen and, having been given plenty of time since then, the son of Frankel can get back on the right path. A C&D winner on his penultimate start, it is way too early to give up on the selection and he can make the most of a 2lb drop. Cracksking and Wonder Legend are other strong contenders.

WONDER LEGEND isn't fully exposed and got back on the up when runner-up at Kempton last month, so he's worth a chance to go one better at the possible expense of Youthful King, who scored at Lingfield last time. Solomon needs to put a poor run behind him but the return to this track is in his favour.

Topweight WONDER LEGEND gave a very good account when second at Kempton last month and may still have a bigger run in him.

18:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 9f Race Class Flow

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

Narrowly denied in her pursuit of a double in a higher grade at Goodwood in July, SURVEYOR returns from a break with strong claims. She may have too much for With Style, who makes her handicap debut on the back of being placed first after interference at Pontefract. A comfortable winner over C&D last time out, Lady Of Arabia completes the shortlist.

LADY OF ARABIA did well to overhaul handily-ridden rivals to get off the mark over C&D last month and is fancied to follow up. Surveyor is going the right way now and should be involved again on the back of a good second at Goodwood, whilst With Style produced an improved performance when awarded the race at Pontefract 2 weeks ago and starts out in handicaps from a workable mark.

A few with chances but William Haggas' lightly raced filly WITH STYLE goes into handicaps with more to offer and she edges the vote.

18:45 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

BUZZ BOX is open to plenty of improvement and is an attractive proposition back over 6f. A winner over this trip on his penultimate start, the son of Adaay is on a highly workable mark for just his second run in a handicap and, from a handy draw, there is a lot to like. Last-time-out winners Coup De Force and Four Adaay are taken seriously, but perhaps Starproof can make the most of being back on a winning mark to pose the biggest threat to the selection.

FISCAL POLICY is going the right way and was clear of the others with the runner-up at Pontefract last time, so the 3-lb rise might not be enough to stop him going in again. Fellow last-time-out winner Coup de Force is a threat and Gundogan isn't without hope.

Now 3-6 on the AW and a course winner in 2022, COUP DE FORCE ticks plenty of boxes for her in-form yard. Buzz Box is next best.

19:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

TILLYBOB may still be a maiden after 11 career starts, but this looks like as good an opportunity as any to get off the mark, following a strong runner-up effort here over 5f last time out. Stella Barclay's charge is preferred to the determined Bath scorer Savalas, as well as My Boy Jack, who finished ahead of the selection when runner-up at Thirsk in August. Completing the shortlist are the likes of Banana, Don't Fight It and Doves Of Peace.

MY BOY JACK was arguably unlucky not to score at Thirsk last time and can go one place better here. Tillybob was well backed and returned to her best when runner-up over 5f here last week, so also merits respect, whilst Doves of Peace can round out the placings.

My Boy Jack goes well over C&D and is greatly respected but TILLYBOB is preferred now back up to 6f.

19:15 Southwell Maiden (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Genius Mistake certainly outran her odds to just be denied on debut over 5f at Beverley last month and, with normal progression, she could have a say. However, MAUI BREEZE looks the one to be on. Charlie Fellowes' juvenile showed a fair amount of ability when fifth on her debut at Windsor before shaping with even more promise to finish third at Newbury on her latest outing. Maids Head is another to keep an eye on.

A chance is taken on James Tate newcomer BLUE DANDY, with confidence in her increased should the betting vibes be strong. Rogue Sensation may provide the chief threat if bouncing back to her debut form. Maui Breeze and Genius Mistake are others with the form to figure.

It might pay to give another chance to ROGUE SENSATION, who disappointed on her second start but made a very promising debut.

19:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Already a Tapeta winner, INGRA TOR built on some promising recent efforts with a gutsy success at Newmarket last month and, nudged up 2lb, he must have every chance of following up here. The Thames Boatman also commands respect on the back of winning display over 5f at Lingfield, while the low-mileage Aramram is a noteworthy all-weather debutant from just 4lb above his win at Doncaster on his penultimate start. Heed the betting signals regarding the uneaten Lion's House on his belated seasonal debut.

An open-looking sprint but the suggestion is ARAMRAM, who ran a cracker when runner-up in the Ayr Silver Cup behind one who was completing a 6-timer a fortnight ago and Richard Hannon's colt can make a winning start on the all-weather. Second choice is The Thames Boatman, who proved at least as good as ever in picking up a third win of the year at Lingfield last month, with Ingra Tor and the returning unbeaten Lion's House both of interest, too.

The three to appeal most are Aramram, Ingra Tor and AZURE ANGEL with the latter selected to build on her good Yarmouth run.

19:45 Southwell Maiden (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

BOUVIER failed to fire in a Group 2 event at Deauville in August but, prior to that, she was only beaten by a neck into second behind a subsequent Group 3 winner at Goodwood. The daughter of Invincible Spirit sets a lofty standard with a rating of 84 and is tough to oppose. Hala Blue had a nice introduction when making the frame at Lingfield last month, while Perfect Dark is another to note.

BOUVIER possesses much the best form on show so is fancied to get off the mark now dropped back in class. Both Perfect Dark and Hala Blue have better days ahead of them and can chase home Dr Newland's fairly useful filly in that order.

Bouvier and PERFECT DARK appeal most and the latter still looked to be learning her job when keeping on well for third at Kempton.

20:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 14f Race Class Flow

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

From the foot of the handicap and with Joe Leavy claiming 3lb, previous C&D winner EASY DANCER has been given every chance gain a second career success on these terms. Goblet Of Fire appears to be the best alternative to the selection off 2lb above his Kempton win last month. Last-time-out winners Laser Focus and Raintown add some further spice, despite both creeping back up in the weights.

A good heat for the grade, with GOBLET OF FIRE fancied to score for the fourth time this season, having got the better of a next-time-out winner at Kempton last month. Laser Focus has proven reliable this season and was better than ever when scoring at Brighton last time, so should also be in the mix, whilst Raintown also displayed a likeable attitude when winning recently at Brighton and is hard to discount.

The starting point is Goblet Of Fire, bidding for four AW wins on the trot, but EASY DANCER (nap) is unexposed and 1-1 over C&D.

20:15 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 14f Race Class Flow

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

APOSTLE may have benefitted from a soft lead to run out a two-length victor at Wolverhampton last time, but a 3lb rise for that success still looks kind. Sir Mark Prescott's three-year-old is improving at a rapid rate of knots and she could prove tough to beat. Caballo De Mar struck by just under a length in this grade at Ayr last time and looks the main threat, while Dark Mystery completes the shortlist.

APOSTLE made it 2 wins from her last 3 outings when dictating matters at Wolverhampton last week and Sir Mark Prescott's filly can make light of a 3 lb rise as the expense of Eagle's Realm, who won over C&D last winter and arrives fit from a couple of spins over hurdles. Caballo de Mar finally turned a frame finish into a first win last month, so he completes the shortlist.

Apostle isn't taken on lightly but CABALLO DE MAR could yet be capable of better over this trip and is preferred.

(9) Persian Phoenix 17/2, Course winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2023. Followed a below-par effort with an even worse one when seventh of 10 in handicap (7/2) at Southwell (8.1f) 9 days ago. Finished runner-up 4 times on the spin in the summer so she can't be ruled out yet.
Course winner but she arrives on a long losing run; she needs to get back on track.

(11) Paddy Mayne 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Again ran to only a modest level when fifth of 7 in handicap (33/1) at Redcar (8f, good to firm) 18 days ago, slowly away. Very hard to make a case for.
Yet to make the frame in five starts, fifth at Redcar 18 days ago; needs big step forward.

(8) Baritus Bellator 13/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Took a step forward but didn't look altogether straightforward when fourth of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 5/1) 51 days ago. No surprise to see cheekpieces on now.
Good fourth at Chelmsford latest; may do better still now cheekpieces are added.

20:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Switching to Tapeta combined with a drop in grade were instrumental factors as THE BOBSTER justified good support in the betting at Newcastle last month and, from just 2lb higher, Richard Fahey's three-year-old is an attractive proposition with his bid to follow up on these terms. The in-form Renesmee has been knocking on the door of late and rates a key player despite conceding 9lb to the selection. All-weather debutant Lia Rose can also go well if she handles a synthetic surface.

A tricky finale to solve but the vote goes to RENESMEE, who has found just one too strong on her last couple of starts but reapplied cheekpieces could eke out that bit extra. The Bobster found enough improvement for the step up in trip when scoring on all-weather debut at Newcastle recently, so he heads up the opposition, with Persian Phoenix and Baritus Bellator another couple worth considering, also.

Preference is for Alice Haynes' in-form filly RENESMEE who can go one better than when a good recent Bath second with cheekpieces now on

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.
