Class & Speed Card

Pure Liberty was narrowly denied over C&D off 3lb lower recently and she is a leading contender from a low draw, but preference is for FACOULTY. The daughter of Coulsty showed ability in a couple of above average maidens earlier this summer, and was far from disgraced at Lingfield last month. This looks a more suitable opportunity though, and an opening mark of 63 could prove lenient. Watch Blue Point is another to consider.

The Yarmouth race FACOULTY finished fifth in is fairly strong form in the context of this and with improvement likely now tackling a nursery, there's lots to like. Pure Liberty showed a lot more switched to this venue recently and is a threat, along with Chasing Gold.

This looks tricky but it might be worth sticking with PURE LIBERTY who was only just caught in a C&D nursery 13 days ago.
Class & Speed Card

Now that VAUNTED has regained the winning thread after a comfortable success over 6f here last Monday, there should be plenty more to come from the daughter of Ardad, despite a 5lb penalty. She can strike on the rise in distance with Dynamite Katie, who has been runner-up on two of her last three starts over C&D, and Cobh Harbour looking best placed to chase her home.

VAUNTED was well on top at the finish when scoring over 6f here recently and looks the obvious answer to this wweak handicap. Cobh Harbour is likely to be back on his game and is probably the main threat ahead of Comedian Leader.

Stepping back up to 7f can suit VAUNTED and she can follow up last week's course win at the main expense of Flagman.
Class & Speed Card

This ought to be a decent opportunity for WHITE CHAPEL ROAD, who posted two solid efforts before a midfield finishing in the typically warm Convivial at York last month. Paul and Oliver Cole's colt sets the standard with an official rating of 80, and is unlikely to encounter a similar calibre of rival here. Metro Dubai receives 2lb from the selection, however, and will appreciate a drop in trip having weakened over the mile at Kempton recently. Letsbeatsepsis can chase the pair home.

LETSBEATSEPSIS failed to build on the promise of his debut at the first attempt here 3 weeks ago but he should come on from that and crucially, this step up in trip is sure to suit. White Chapel Road and Metro Dubai are the obvious dangers.

Preference is for WHITE CHAPEL ROAD who sets the standard and looks a big player back in much calmer waters.
Class & Speed Card

BOBBY JONES may still be a maiden through seven starts, but he arrives here on the back of a career-best effort at Beverley where he came from down the field to run into third late on. That form looks just about the best on offer, and he is narrowly preferred to unexposed nursery debutant Inshad, who has had a gelding operation since his last run in June. Perfect Sight and Freak Encounter cannot be ruled out either.

INSHAD didn't show much kept to around 5f but a gelding operation and a step up in trip are potential catalysts for a much-improved showing now tackling a nursery. Bobby Jones is probably the solid option so is offered as a the chief threat.

The most solid contender on form is BOBBY JONES. Some of the others, most notably Inshad, could well improve now handicapping.
Class & Speed Card

There looks to be plenty of pace on with Dion Baker, Macs Dilemma and Sir Oliver all likely to race handily, so this could be set up for POETIC FORCE. The veteran has seen his handicap mark decline in recent months, but there were signs of promise over the mile here recently and a drop in trip could hold the key. Vinaka is another to consider.

Having slipped to a potentially very handy mark, SIR OLIVER is taken to strike with Silvestre De Sousa back in the hot-seat. He was a good third off a 14 lb higher mark under De Sousa at Chelmsford during the spring and while he hasn't won on turf for over 2 years, he is effective on fast ground. Dion Baker is an obvious threat on the back of a clear-cut success at Yarmouth and is feared most ahead of Revolutionise and Vinaka.

Top of the list is DION BAKER (nap), who made all for an emphatic win at Yarmouth last Sunday and looks well treated under a penalty.
Class & Speed Card

BRIGHTWALTON must hold every chance on the back of a narrow defeat at Sandown last time out. 5f looked to bring out the best in her on that occasion and she can hold off Lexington Blitz, who has a 7lb penalty to overcome for breaking the maiden at Windsor last month. Speed Of Maajid was never involved on debut at Goodwood, but dropping in trip could help the son of Mayson.

This looks a match on paper between BRIGHTWALTON and Lexington Blitz, with preference for Richard Hannon's filly getting plenty of weight from the sole previous winner in the line-up. Speed of Maajid should've derived plenty from his debut at Goodwood and can edge out Frankies Dream for third.

Brightwalton looks set to go well again but LEXINGTON BLITZ showed a good attitude at Windsor and can concede the weight.
Class & Speed Card

Gallimimus warrants plenty of respect on his best form and he could go well, but IREZUMI is still preferred if he can repeat the level that saw him power home over C&D last month by over three lengths. Upped 4lb for that, he may not even need to find any improvement in this field, with Long Call a tentative suggestion for third.

GALLIMIMUS won a C&D handicap last summer and with his latest Bath run easy to excuse, he's fancied to cash in on a handy mark down in class. Irezumi finally got it right over C&D a fortnight ago and is second choice.

Most of these have something to prove but IREZUMI forged clear over C&D last time and is a big player again if he can repeat that form.
Class & Speed Card

Connie's Rose has plenty in her favour after being beaten a length at Salisbury and she can go close with a first-time tongue-tie. She has won here five times over various trips and could prove the biggest danger to MICHAELA'S BOY. Beaten less than a length in a better race on his first start after bring gelded and wind surgery, he drops in class and is fully entitled to find plenty of improvement. So Smart arrives carrying a penalty and may find a place the best he can muster.

A really trappy sprint, with cases to be made for each of the quartet, though MICHAELA'S BOY perhaps makes most appeal having had an encouraging start for the Robert Cowell yard last time. The consistent Connie's Rose is next best, though it's hard still hard to discount to her stablemate, the last-time-out winner So Smart, or the potentially well-handicapped Navello.

Michaela's Boy ran well on his stable debut but NAVELLO can take full advantage of this drop in class.
Class & Speed Card

Rivas Rob Roy has a good record at this venue, but he hasn't been at his best recently and needs to bounce back to form. Premiership was not disgraced at Yarmouth last time and may prove to be the biggest rival to OH SO AUDACIOUS, who was only beaten a neck into second at Windsor last time out and is looking for her fourth career success.

The consistent OH SO AUDACIOUS looks by far the most solid option and she is taken to get her head back in front following a near miss at Windsor three weeks ago. Hellavapace is 0-16 on turf but he clearly goes well here (placed on four of his previous five visits to Brighton) and is second choice ahead of Premiership.

This can go to last year's winner OH SO AUDACIOUS, who is only 1lb higher than for her near-miss at Windsor last time.
Class & Speed Card

Placed at Newbury on her introduction, FLEETWATER took a step forward when scoring over course and distance in July and a 7lb penalty is reduced by her rider's allowance. Stan Moore's filly makes more appeal than Newbury winner Sweet Sonata, who could only manage fourth carrying a penalty at Goodwood last time. Thecoffeepoddotco has a shout if forgiven a below-par effort at Bath, while Miss Nightfall could go well with any further progress.

A tricky opener to solve but MISS NIGHTFALL matched her debut form when runner-up at Lingfield just under 3 weeks ago and with the strong suspicion that there's more to come, James Fanshawe's filly earns the vote ahead of Fleetwater, who confirmed her debut promise when scoring over C&D 6 weeks ago and is open the further improvement. Help From Above and Thecoffeepoddotco complete the shortlist.

Off a favourable weight and with Oisin Murphy booked, MISS NIGHTFALL looks poised to open her account. Fleetwater is second choice.
Class & Speed Card

Delicacy has placed in four of her last six races and has every chance of adding to those figures here, but she may have to give way to GLENCALVIE if she rekindles her best form on her first start for Adrian Wintle. A winner at Yarmouth in May, both going and trip look ideal and she could surprise them all off bottom weight. Questionable appears to prefer softer ground, but may still be able to snatch third in this field.

QUESTIONABLE has returned to form back on turf on her last 2 starts, bumping into an improver when runner-up at Ffos Las over 1m on her penultimate outing, so she could be ready to open her account returned to this longer distance. Delicacy also arrives in good heart and looks the main danger, with Glencalvie the pick of the remainder.

The ground is an unknown for QUESTIONABLE but she has shown clear promise in turf handicaps and can get the better of Deep Blue.
Class & Speed Card

The Johnny Murtagh-trained THINK ABOUT IT is marginally preferred after coming from last to finish a never-nearer third on debut. The subject of good market support on that occasion, she is likely to come on plenty for the experience. Going down by just three-quarters of a length on his initial start at Gowran, Loch Tay is given second preference. Beaten by an odds-on shot at the Co Kilkenny venue, he had the reopposing Majestic Wave back in fourth. Showing inexperience when hanging off the bend entering the straight at Galway, Raven Darkholme still managed to fill the runner-up spot and she is likely to have plenty of supporters. The aforementioned Majestic Wave is progressing with each run and can't be discounted in first-time cheekpieces, while Pleasant Dawn is another capable of making her presence felt.

LOCH TAY's debut at Gowran was full of promise and he's open to improvement so, despite a 78-day break since, he's worth the chance to go one better at the likely expense of Majestic Wave, who is closely matched on form with the selection.

RAVEN DARKHOLME handled plenty of cut when second at Galway on debut and she can benefit from that experience to take this.
Class & Speed Card

Voodoo Ray won this last year but has looked in the handicapper's grip since landing a hat-trick at the start of this season, while Nelson Rose scored here last month. It remains to be seen how well BEAR TO DREAM copes with a 4lb rise, but the five-year-old won over course and distance with plenty in hand on her return from a layoff and looks worth sticking with.

The most appealing candidate is BEAR TO DREAM, who did the job well over C&D last time and she should take this 4 lb higher mark in her stride. Batchelor Boy and Nelson Rose are taken to fill the places on the assumption that Alfred Cove, who is due to run here on Sunday, doesn't go to post.

Preference is for BEAR TO DREAM who returned from a break with a comfortable win over C&D last month.
Class & Speed Card

THURSDAY finished a creditable third at Epsom a week ago, given she was out of the handicap, and the four-year-old gets another chance returning to this lower grade having won over course and distance in June. Escarpment wasn't at his best on the slower ground at Leicester last time, but is not out of this only 3lb higher than when scoring at Musselburgh before that. Churchill Rose returns to turf with a shout off her current mark having won at Kempton in July.

After recording a first handicap success at Lingfield in August, THURSDAY produced a good effort from 4 lb out of the weights when third at Epsom 13 days later, so she is taken to resume winning ways back in these calmer waters. Martin Spirit has been in good form since the application of blinkers and is feared most, ahead of Corporate Raider.

The two standouts from a handicapping perspective are THURSDAY and Devizes, preferred in that order.
Class & Speed Card

The form of FIRST ENCOUNTER's recent Leicester second has worked out well and, given that he is just 1lb higher on this occasion, this looks a good opportunity in which to record a second career triumph. Weston Court paid the price for getting embroiled in a duel for the lead at Bath when last seen, but there isn't as much pace on offer here and it would come as no surprise were he to bounce back. Desert Footsteps makes her handicap bow in a moderate event and should not be underestimated.

The drop back to 1m should suit HEY BIG SPENDER, who can strike at the second time of asking for the Ollie Sangster yard. Desert Footsteps appeals as one who can go on to better things in handicaps and is feared most ahead of more-established pair First Encounter and Weston Courage.

Hey Big Spender can go well with headgear back on but FIRST ENCOUNTER (nap) hasn't finished improving just yet and may win again.
Class & Speed Card

Conditions are likely to be testing and top-weight PLAY IT AGAIN ZAAM won on heavy at Gowran in May so has plenty going for him. Already successful over C&D this season, he has the plum draw on the rail and could make a winning start for new connections after being claimed when second on his latest outing. Manhattan Dandy has a good record at Roscommon and is another who will have no issue with the underfoot conditions. The Thomas Coyle-trained bay will be ridden by Keithen Kennedy, who claims a valuable 7lb. If handling conditions, Shamrock Sprig has the form to win this, while others for the shortlist are Naas runner-up Cannes Do, the Jessica Harrington-trained Dark Viper and recent Killarney victor Nibras Rainbow.

DARK VIPER is taken to deservedly get his head in front having found just one too good for the third time this season at Sligo last time. If on-song Manhattan Dandy will be a big threat and he is next on the list ahead of Shamrock Sprig. Others to consider in this competitive handicap include Cannes Do, Nibras Rainbow and Play It Again Zaam.

C&D winners on this ground, PLAY IT AGAIN ZAAM and Manhattan Dandy look major players, with marginal preference for the former.
Class & Speed Card

FARO DE SAN JUAN ran into trouble when launching his challenge at Newcastle and the race was effectively over when finding himself in the clear. He looks worthy of another chance having won in this lower grade at Windsor in July. Skallywag Bay has yet to win on turf, though has a shout on her winning form on the all-weather, while Pop Dancer won this off a higher mark last year and is preferred to The Defiant of the remaining pair.

It was a higher-grade handicap in which FARO DE SAN JUAN was a creditable sixth at Newcastle recently and, with a strong pace likely despite the small field, he is taken to resume winning ways. The Defiant is the clear main danger, with Skallywag Bay a shade too high in the weights at present and Pop Dancer needing to bounce back.

All of the runners have possibilities in this tight contest but FARO DE SAN JUAN gets the vote ahead of Skallywag Bay.
Class & Speed Card

Villalobos finally won on turf when making all at Salisbury, but he's off a 6lb higher mark over this longer distance, and TOTAL LOCKDOWN makes more appeal. Alice Haynes' new inmate scored over this trip at Yarmouth in May and a more recent third over course and distance points to another big run. Mrembo hasn't won since landing this contest last year, but is a threat off her current mark.

MREMBO is more consistent than most at this level and this looks a good opportunity for Jonathan Portman's mare to notch a second C&D success. Addosh is interesting stepping up slightly in trip after a positive stable debut last time, with Fullforward also respected after a pair of sound placed efforts.

The suggestion is ADDOSH (nap) on only her second outing for a trainer whose recent winners include recruits from other yards.
Class & Speed Card

The vote goes to CIOTOG, who attracted significant market support at Bath last time out. Mark Loughnane's charge ultimately found one too strong, but he was denied a clear run inside the final furlong and must hold every chance of going one better from an unchanged mark. Ballsbridge continues to knock on the door so must firmly enter calculations, while Dappled Light is most appealing of the remainder.

A first taste of success could be in the offing for BALLSBRIDGE, who has found just one too good in amateur riders' race the last twice and he represents a yard in fine form. Ciotog was arguably unlucky not to regain the winning thread at Bath recently and he has to be feared, while Dappled Light has proved consistent since joining the Adrian Wintle yard and is likely to be on the premises once more.

Ciotog is well treated now but perhaps this is the day that BALLSBRIDGE will step into the limelight after two good runs at 1m.
Class & Speed Card

ORANDI had no luck in running when a never-nearer third over C&D recently. Backed into favouritism on that occasion, the French import might be able to recoup losses now, with Colin Keane again on board. Connections of Mercurial have clearly been waiting for the ground to ease, with the five-year-old a non-runner three times due to the 'change in going' since his win on heavy at the Curragh in April. Still looking nicely treated on a mark of 74, the John Nallen-trained bay should give a good account of himself. Narrowly beaten into third at Gowran earlier this month, Bellaphina looks to have solid claims, while the evergreen Verhoyen, top-weight Vasda and dual winner Merisi Diamond are others to consider in a competitive heat.

The suggestion is ORANDI, who wasn't seen to best effect back from a break here a fortnight ago and it's interesting that Colin Keane takes the ride again. Verhoyen only got a small nudge for his Fairyhouse success and is is second choice ahead of April's Curragh scorer Mercurial.

Preference is for ORANDI (nap). He met trouble in running over C&D last time and if he gets a clear run today he should go very close.
Class & Speed Card

A somewhat unlucky loser on debut at Kempton last month, SHRIMP SHADY is likely to have plenty of improvement forthcoming and he can go one better on the step up in trip. That may be at the main expense of the recent Newmarket second Calyxoh, and Archie's Angel, who has a 6lb penalty to overcome for a taking debut success at Haydock in July.

CALYXOH sets a decent standard for a restricted novice and can make it sixth time lucky. Andrew Balding debut runner-up Shrimp Shady and Haydock winner Archie's Angel are the obvious dangers.

An interesting race in which SHRIMP SHADY gets the vote ahead of Calyxoh and Haydock winner Archie's Angel.
Class & Speed Card

With the weights in his favour, the Sheila Lavery-trained VESTIGIA should take the beating. Winner of his maiden at Gowran Park in May, the three-year-old colt ran perfectly respectable when fifth in a Curragh Group 3 subsequently. Although failing to build on that effort in three runs of late, the application of first-time blinkers could prove the key. A shock 40/1 winner on her belated debut at Tipperary, the Kevin Coleman-trained Akecheta proved that run was no fluke when runner-up in a stronger contest at Gowran Park after. A daughter of Sioux Nation, her proven ability to handle testing conditions is a definite plus. Tramore winner Riviera Queen could be dangerous now that she has managed to get her head in front.

AKECHETA is going the right way and has the best form, so she can edge out Vestigia Who sports blinkers for the first time after a respectable showing at Gowran. Cancelled can also make her presence felt.

Having won her maiden on heavy ground, AKECHETA will have no issue with these conditions so can win again.
Class & Speed Card

DASHING HARRY remains unexposed and he has been shaping for a while as though stepping back up to 6f would suit, having been outpaced the last twice over the minimum trip. The fact he was second on his only visit here in April is another plus, and he is preferred to unexposed Leicester scorer Last Outlaw, as well as Infinity Blue, who has strong claims on his penultimate success at Newmarket.

Leicester novice winner LAST OUTLAW is a potential improver making a quick switch to handicaps. Infinity Blue will be a threat if recapturing the form which saw him win at Newmarket last month. The free-going Dashing Harry could benefit from today's first-time hood and is next on the list.

This will be a tougher test for LAST OUTLAW but he was learning on the job at Leicester last time and could be capable of much better.
Class & Speed Card

Stepping back up to this trip on testing ground should finally see PSALM register a first career success. Runner-up in a juvenile maiden at the Curragh last October, the Aidan O'Brien-trained colt has been a beaten favourite on each of his last three starts. With stamina likely to be at a premium here, the son of Justify should be in his element. Rosso improved on two promising efforts when second at the Curragh on his most recent outing. Having travelled into the race easily, the Camelot colt kept on well close home. The Dermot Weld-trained Strolling has shown enough in three runs to date to suggest she is capable of winning her maiden. Just denied at Tramore last month, she is of particular interest in first-time blinkers.

ROSSO has progressed with each outing and if that trend continues there's every chance he'll get off the mark. Psalm and Strolling look the obvious dangers.

Preference is for STROLLING. She ran well on heavy on debut, was narrowly denied at Tramore and the first time blinkers could be key.
Class & Speed Card

Narrowly denied at Lingfield when attempting to land the double last month, DAISY ROOTS can gain compensation at a track that should suit her keen going ways. A 2lb rise for that effort looks manageable and it may be course specialist Adace who follows her home along with Roundabout Silver, who has dropped 8lb below his last winning mark. Gold Minx may not have shown much in three career outing, but she could be a different proposition on handicap debut.

DAISY ROOTS arrives in form and rates by far the most solid option in a contest where the majority have something to prove. Adace has a C&D win to her name and has reached the frame on her last 4 starts so she's the obvious threat unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding Eve Johnson Houghton handicap newcomer Gold Minx.

Easily the most solid contenders on recent form are ADACE (narrowly preferred) and Daisy Roots. Some of the 3yos may improve.
Class & Speed Card

A beaten favourite at Naas last month, QUIZ TEST can recover losses. A combination of dropping back in trip and meeting trouble in running arguably cost the four-year-old a win on that occasion. Back over his optimum trip now, on ground he should handle, the Sean Byrne-trained gelding is entitled to go close. Sixpack finished in front of the selection when runner-up over course and distance back in May. Despite having a bit to do at these revised weights, Johnny Murtagh's gelding has won twice subsequently. Arch Enemy, who has been hindered by poor draws on recent starts, has once again been done no favours in that respect here. However, if James Ryan can get her into stride early, the mare should be finishing strongly.

Any number to consider but SCATCHWAH's promising reappearance under an inexperienced rider is still fresh in the memory and he can confirm that he's ahead of the assessor here. The return to this trip will suit Arch Enemy so she's a threat, while the market may tell a tale regarding El Regalo on handicap debut.

Preference is for NARLITA. She has C&D form, her form figures at 1m4f on soft-heavy read 122 and she shaped well at Tramore last time.
Class & Speed Card

Mr Zee is entitled to improve for his first start of the season and, with a good course record including three wins, he could make his way into one of the places. MILVUS has to race from 1lb out of the handicap but was a rallying third over shorter here last month and the step up in trip may aid his cause. Upton and Pop Noodle represent in-form yards and cannot be ignored.

This is a weak contest and BOBACIOUS has been holding his form in a higher grade, so he's worth a chance to gain some reward for his consistency. Renesmee can run with credit again and well-bred 3yo Upton is worth considering despite an underwhelming handicap debut last time.

The return to 1m2f can see BOBACIOUS record his second win. Renesmee can chase him home.
Class & Speed Card

Runner-up on both starts since joining present connections, OUR LIL can get her head in front for the first time. The daughter of Cable Bay gives the impression that she will be better suited to an ease in the ground, so it will be interesting to see if that brings about the desired improvement on this occasion. Maxwell Smart, who didn't enjoy the clearest of passages when third at Navan on Thursday, has to be considered. The Tom McCourt-trained gelding will need some luck from his wide draw but this looks a slightly easier race. Prairie Angel, who showed ability in three maiden runs earlier in the season, made a winning debut over hurdles last time. Joseph O'Brien's filly could be the potential improver in the line up.

OUR LIL found only one too good at Cork last time and is on the up presently, so she's fancied to go one better with Fine Print regarded as the main danger in first-time blinkers. San Land is another one to consider.

Preference is for SAXON LAND, who was only half-a-length behind Fine Print on comeback at Sligo and can turn that form around
Class & Speed Card

BETWEENTHESTICKS got up in the shadow of the post last time out at Lingfield on the all-weather and the four-year-old may prove tough to beat off a 2lb higher mark. Tilsworth Ony Ta is worth a try back at the minimum trip and has the pace needed to get competitive with a good start, but Jungle Run may prove the bigger danger on the evidence of his C&D third last month.

AGOSTINO did well to last as long as he did considering how free he was at Lingfield 11 days ago and, back to 5f, he's the most appealing down in grade. Betweenthesticks is an obvious player after his success at the same meeting and Jungle Run is worthy of consideration.

The tongue-tie has had a positive effect on BETWEENTHESTICKS and he can follow up his recent AW success.

This is the 16:15 Kempton race from the video above backed at 28/1 earlier in the day.
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.
