CAPE SOUNION showed smart ability on debut and can put that experience to good use. Although the well-bred winner of that Naas race was subsequently well beaten at Group 3 level, the selection arguably shaped with more promise as she missed the break, had to be switched to challenge and finished well. She should improve from that run. Beautify is out of Words, who was a Group 3 winner, and is a half-sister to a Listed winner. Dancing Saxon boasts a smart pedigree, while Paris Carver was a 600,000-dollar breeze-up purchase.

The market should shed more light but a hopeful vote goes to PARIS CARVER, an expensive US breeze-up purchase
Class & Speed Card

PRESENTING MILAN struck in one of his four bumper starts and shaped with plenty of promise on his hurdling debut at Market Rasen last month. The five-year-old could have lots more to offer and will prove hard to beat. Just A Heartbeat finished a good second in a bumper at Ascot in February and is an interesting contender on her first start over the smaller obstacles. Yarborough completes the shortlist.

Preference is for hurdling debutante JUST A HEARTBEAT, who was second in a fairly good mares' bumper at Ascot in February.
Class & Speed Card

ALBERT EINSTEIN produced a smart effort on his debut recently. From a good family and out of a juvenile Group-placed dam, he was accompanied by his trainer to the start for that Naas introduction and produced a fine performance to wear down the once-raced runner-up. He should continue to progress. Andab is a brother to Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf winner Victoria Road and he too showed high-class potential over C&D earlier this month. He should give the selection a good race. Power Blue wasn't beaten far in Listed company here and also commands attention.

Initial indications from a smooth Naas win are that ALBERT EINSTEIN can live up to a tall home reputation as the season progresses
Class & Speed Card

A major improver for the step up in trip when scoring over 3m at Ffos Las, POOLEY'S PROMISE is likely to have plenty more improvement forthcoming and she can follow up off 5lb higher. East Eagle arrives with similar claims after a taking success at Southwell and a 6lb rise could prove lenient on his second start back after wind surgery. Geordie Night and Getuptheyard are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

With the new trip a likely plus, GETUPTHEYARD could well open his account. Geordie Night is second choice.
Class & Speed Card

Having made a perfect start to his jumping career when scoring at Plumpton a fortnight ago, there should be more to come from PERGAMON. The four-year-old showed signs of inexperience and any improvement may see him follow up. The biggest threat could emerge from stable/seasonal debutant Kow Boy Sivola, who finished last term with a respectable second at Sedgefield. Champ De Gane and Green Bonnet are worth a market check.

It might prove best to side with Plumpton winner PERGAMON but Green Bonnet, Champ De Gane and Kow Boy Sivola are considered.
Class & Speed Card

PRIDE OF PARIS was beaten a neck into second when sporting first-time cheekpieces at Uttoxeter earlier in the month and is just 2lb higher. Harry Derham's seven-year-old may only need to run to a similar level in order to go one better. Anytrixwilldo is a player if judged on his Taunton victory rather than his subsequent Warwick disappointment. Ballintara has turned back the clock of late and is another to consider.

Harry Derham's PRIDE OF PARIS (nap) ran well in defeat at Uttoxeter last month and has plenty of scope to build on that performance.
Class & Speed Card

Four-time Group 1-winning gem PORTA FORTUNA meets some race-fit rivals on seasonal reappearance but can score. She failed by a neck in the English Guineas last May and while well held at November's Breeders Cup, met significant trouble in-running then. Today's race will tee her up for next month's Royal Ascot hat-trick attempt but she has sufficient ability, and form on softening-ground, to score. Late-comer Vera's Secret is now six but seems to be improving and scooted clear to win at Leopardstown last time. One Look, whose rider Billy Lee is bidding for a fifth consecutive win in this race, also landed a Group 3 recently and is ground-versatile.

JANCIS ran a cracking race in defeat on return at Gowran over a trip that stretched her stamina and she can do better back at 1m.
Class & Speed Card

MISS MAVERICK has a fine record around here and she arrives in top form following a determined success at Hexham off 5lb lower. The eight-year-old is capable of going in again and is preferred to Marlacoo, who wasn't beaten far when looking to supplement an Ayr triumph over further at Fontwell last month. Fine Casting may also have a say in proceedings.

Having staged a revival last time, MISS MAVERICK (nap) holds strong claims returned to the scene of her hat-trick last spring.
Class & Speed Card

SPARTAN WARRIOR lost little in defeat when finding only a subsequent winner too strong at Stratford earlier this month. Rebecca Menzies' gelding makes grand appeal racing off an unchanged mark and compensation could be imminent. A switch of tactics saw Away She Goes making all over 2m here 18 days ago and an additional quarter-mile, combined with a 7lb rise, shouldn't prevent another bold bid. The six-year-old is feared most, ahead of Sedgefield runner-up Jet Patrol.

This might be the right opportunity for BALRANALD to return to the winning ways he exhibited twice last October.
Class & Speed Card

DOC MCCOY made every yard of the running to score in ready fashion in a conditional jockeys' handicap at Ffos Las on Thursday and escapes a penalty for that victory. The son of Getaway looks well placed to make it three wins from his last four outings. Sam's Amour completed a double at Stratford when last seen and has to be respected back in handicap company. The Bold Thady is the pick of the remainder.

Doc McCoy is clearly the one to beat but the very quick turnaround and this trip pose questions. A chance is taken on SAM'S AMOUR.
Class & Speed Card

Irish Derby winner LOS ANGELES is the pick amongst some middle-distance heavyweights. His Classic success came between English Derby and Prix de l'Arc third-placings and while he would prefer 1m4f, today's race is a helpful 110 yards further than when beating White Birch earlier this month. Admittedly well-held by Anmaat in October's British Champion Stakes, the selection was hampered then while the race also came 13 days after his fine Arc effort. Anmaat has progressed with racing and relishes soft ground, but needs to produce his best form to win on seasonal reappearance. Last year's winner White Birch should compete, while Kalpana won October's British Champion Fillies & Mares Stakes but now meets males racing over a slightly inadequate distance.

A year on from his giant-killing defeat of Auguste Rodin, WHITE BIRCH can repeat that success at the main expense of Los Angeles
Class & Speed Card

This can go the way of CRYSTAL SPRING following arguably a career-best effort when second at Fakenham. The booking of Sean Bowen is noteworthy and, in receiving 14lb from easy Ludlow winner Service Minimum, she may have enough to gain a first career success. A promising second in a bumper at Wincanton when last seen, Fresh As A Daisy must be of interest on her hurdles bow.

Henderson mare FRESH AS A DAISY looks a promising hurdles debutante judged on her bumper efforts and female line.
Class & Speed Card

Reverting to 3m proved just the trick for last month's Perth scorer Billable Grant and he may have more to offer over staying distances. However, a 5lb higher mark does demand more from the Watar gelding and he may have his work cut out against Susan Corbett's duo. LES'S LEGACY has improved since having cheekpieces added and a repeat of his latest second here may prove sufficient. Stablemate Wee Alki is unlikely to be far behind.

The 6yo WEE ALKI did everything but win here 18 days ago and a 1lb rise is neither here nor there. He looks sure to be involved.
Class & Speed Card

Presenting Yeats comfortably stays this distance with a Stratford success on his CV, but he has 8lb more from the handicapper and may have to settle for a place. FERRET JEETER won here over shorter and although he has also been upped considerably in the weights, he could have more to come, though he will need to take another step forward. Thirtyfour Thirty and perhaps Quite The Getaway are others to consider.

Low-mileage 8yo FERRET JEETER shaped very much as though stamina is his strong suit when winning over 2m5f here recently.
Class & Speed Card

Almost certain to have improved from Newmarket, LAKE VICTORIA can reverse form with both Flight and Simmering. Having been slow to come to hand this spring, trainer Aidan O'Brien had expressed doubts about the filly being ready in time for the English Guineas. To her credit, the daughter of Frankel ran a huge race, staying on nicely inside the last furlong to finish sixth. Flight, who outran her odds to chase home the winner at Newmarket, should also be better for that first start of the season. The unexposed Swelter and Newmarket third Simmering are also worthy of consideration.

Last year's top juvenile filly LAKE VICTORIA(nap) lost her unbeaten record at Newmarket but can bounce back with her fitness advanced
Class & Speed Card

Light N Strike won cosily enough, despite a mistake at the last, at Newton Abbot and he can go well off 5lb higher, but HELTENHAM ticks more boxes. Seven of his eight successes have been over this sort of trip, including a 13-length Perth victory last month, and an added 8lb from the handicapper may not be enough to stop Dan Skelton's representative. Top-weight Matterhorn is another to consider after a return to form when second at Plumpton.

With other main players on recent form not totally bombproof, VINTAGE FIZZ is an interesting alternative. Bhaloo is second choice.
Class & Speed Card

IMPERO travels over from Ireland with a leading chance. Cian Collins' progressive hurdler found life tough in Listed company at Punchestown last month, having won nicely at Ballinrobe prior to that, and there looks more to come from the six-year-old back at this level. Rewired arrives off the back of a convincing victory at Hereford. He's now won two of his last three outings and makes more appeal than Simple Star of the remainder.

A 4lb rise for his clearcut Hereford win seems very fair so a rejuvenated REWIRED (nap) might well be capable of going in again.
Class & Speed Card

MAN OF THE SEA came home last of four at Hereford in a better race earlier in the month and, if he is kept nearer to the early pace over further here, he could step up for his 18th career success and sixth over hurdles. Dirty Den is an obvious danger after his recent Worcester victory, while Junior Des Bordes is one to watch on his handicap debut and first start for two and a half years.

Topweight MAN OF THE SEA is excused his latest defeat and has pretty solid claims if judged on his second at Taunton two starts ago.
Class & Speed Card

Runner-up in a Group 3 at Baden-Baden on her final start as a juvenile, LA GUAPISIMA can defy top-weight. Having her first start for trainer Gavin Cromwell, the French Listed winner sets a high standard in a race of this nature. Her presence at the head of the weights also means that the four towards the bottom are forced to race from out of the handicap. Given her apparent preference for soft ground, any rain that falls will be welcome. Shiota, who landed a competitive handicap at Naas recently, has to be respected despite her subsequent rise. Varshini and Empress Artemis are others to consider.

SHIOTA is only 7lb higher for winning well last time so she has a better chance of defying that rise than the 14lb Murkala got.
Class & Speed Card

LEADING FORCE made his first appearance for James Owen when beaten a head over hurdles at Southwell on Tuesday and he could be the one now returning to fences off the same mark. Art Of Diplomacy has been a bit frustrating with eight consecutive top-four finishes since joining the Bowen team and may have to settle for more of the same. Sweet Street has won off this rating before and has her first start following wind surgery.

Attractively handicapped LEADING FORCE holds particularly strong claims turned out quickly and returned to chasing.
Class & Speed Card

Starlyte disappointed last time, having won with a bit in hand over course and distance before that. She's not easily dismissed, but BARRONS LAND may edge this contest. The latter has had a couple of recent outings over fences, and ran well enough for third at Bangor last month. However, Laura Horsfall's inmate is of more interest back over hurdles with an amateur's 7lb allowance in her favour, and she gets the nod. Feach Amach may prove best of the rest.

The suggestion is THEIRSHEGOES who came from a long way back to hit the frame at Perth only recently.
Class & Speed Card

JACK SPARROW GREY made it two from two over fences and C&D when coming clear to record a comfortable success here recently, and the progressive Kap Rock gelding is fancied to defy a further 7lb rise to complete his hat-trick. Summer In Milan has been in good form over timber and will be a player if as effective back over the larger obstacles, with cheekpieces applied for the first time. Millies Mite doesn't have the most consistent profile but is noted nevertheless.

The most obvious answer is JACK SPARROW GREY, who is 2-2 over C&D since last month's switch to fences. Mister Upton is feared most.
Class & Speed Card

A Grade 3 winner over fences at Thurles on his penultimate start, COMMON PRACTICE is undeniably well treated on his return to the Flat. Lightly raced in this sphere in recent years, the Joseph O'Brien-trained gelding can race off 1lb lower than when narrowly denied at the Galway Festival in 2022. Prior to that effort, the son of Gleneagles had won the Apprentice Derby at this track. Given his rate of improvement over jumps subsequently, it is hard to believe that a mark of 81 is beyond him. Killarney runner-up Robbies Rock has to be a serious contender in first-time cheekpieces, while both Molly Hall and Granite Bay deserve consideration.

A chance is taken on COMMON PRACTICE, whose sole Flat win came over 1m4f on this track and he has been in great form over fences.
Class & Speed Card

MY FRIEND SEAN has gone from strength to strength since December, recording four victories out of five starts. Tom Lacey's yard is in fine form at present and the six-year-old can continue his rise through the ranks. Vocito struck over fences prior to disappointing in fifth at Perth last month, but is one to watch out for now stepping back into this sphere. Tara Iti can beat Model Approach home for third.

Warwick runner-up TARA ITI seems likely to go up in the weights when reassessed and he gets the vote ahead of My Friend Sean.
Class & Speed Card

Lipstick Traces failed to help her cause by hanging left in the closing stages when third at Hexham recently. She still makes more appeal than Am I Bovvered, well beaten when fourth here last month, but a chance is taken on the newcomer CUSHENDALL. The Irish challenger is related to a winner over jumps in North America and could prove good enough at the first time of asking, with Brian Hughes' presence another positive.

A chance is taken on CUSHENDALL who appeals on paper and Brian Hughes is 11-51 in bumpers for the yard.
Class & Speed Card

Point winner Eastern Shores kept on well into third at Fakenham on her Rules bow and, although the Jet Away mare should improve, a chance can be taken on HYPERBOLE. Olly Murphy has an excellent record in bumpers and his mare, whose dam won in this discipline, looks more than capable given her pedigree. Sevarana is a sister to a couple of useful types so it would come as no great surprise were she to have a say.

One of a handful of well-bred newcomers in the line-up, HYPERBOLE is selected to enhance her stable's good bumper strike-rate.
Class & Speed Card

Having caught the eye when finishing second at Naas on her debut last month, MITTENS can open her account. The Jessica Harrington-trained filly lost her position early in the straight before staying on strongly to take minor honours close home. A Munster Oaks entry suggests the daughter of Night Of Thunder has been pleasing connections in the wake of that promising start. A half-sister to a Group 1-placed colt, Gifted has to be respected on her introduction. Aidan O'Brien has struck with a number of similar types in recent weeks. Matrice, who wears first-time cheekpieces, is another who holds claims.

Though she lacks a run this term, AVANT NOUS shaped promisingly in a strong 7f maiden on sole 2yo start and is selected.
Class & Speed Card

Ask A Sainte is the only contender with previous experience after an encouraging third on debut at Wincanton and it would be no surprise to see him take a step forward. Even so, STRONG VIEW looks the more appealing option. The daughter of Telescope is a half-sister to Grade 1 winner Strong Leader and goes for the in-form Olly Murphy team. Any market support behind Alba Crus would be interesting.

The newcomers STRONG VIEW, Alba Crus, L'Arme de Bonheur and Kaydence are particularly interesting.

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.

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.
