DAN TUCKER went down fighting to an 83-rated opponent on seasonal debut/first run since being gelded at Nottingham 22 days ago. Beaten less than a length in that race, the son of Dandy Man sets a decent standard and could be very tough to overhaul. El Pinto ran green in both starts as a juvenile but certainly showed ability. He resumes as a credible option. Mister Invincible and the newcomer Summerstorms Dream are others to monitor in the betting.

El Pinto is much respected on the strength of his second run but this still looks a golden opportunity for DAN TUCKER.

Ski Angel won this corresponding race off 2lb higher 12 months ago and, with Rhys Elliott claiming a further 5lb form the saddle, is dangerous to underestimate. However, Michael Dods plays a strong hand with both King's Crown and NELSON GAY holding bigger chances. The latter shades a narrow vote, though, as he is potentially the better handicapped of the pair based on their peak ratings. Back Tomorrow is another for the shortlist.

There are questions over all the runners but SKI ANGEL won this race last year off 2lb higher. He is selected ahead of Sixcor.

Several old rivals come together and there is little to choose between any of them on past form. However, INANNA could be worth forgiving Monday's effort over 6f as she was too keen for her own good and failed to show her true colours as a result. Running off just 3lb above her last winning mark, Jim Golidie's mare is well worth another chance. Clasina and Darbucks should be on the premises, while Golden Valour likes it here and can also go well.

All of these ran moderately last time except for CLASINA who was an unlucky fourth. The main danger is C&D winner Darbucks.

Glasses Up proved he retains plenty of enthusiasm at the ripe age of 10 when a game winner over 1m5f here on Monday, and Mike Smith's gelding merits respect under the penalty. That being said, he might prefer further nowadays and preference is afforded to LAUDABLE. Running on the all-weather over the winter yielded mixed results for the son of Havana Gold, but he will relish the return to turf and his current mark is well within range. Penelope's Sister is also noted.

The penalised GLASSES UP is already the winningmost Flat horse at this course and he has every chance of following up Monday's win.

ALFIE BOY was in command when defeating Hostelry (second) at Beverley recently and, if arriving in a similar mood today, he ought to hold every chance of defying the 5lb penalty for that success. The latter is expected to keep him honest, though, but a bigger threat might come from Braes Of Doune. Jim Goldie's gelding shaped with promise on his return to action at Doncaster on Saturday and appears likely to enter calculations.

Having made all to beat Hostelry at Beverley last Thursday, ALFIE BOY (nap) can confirm the placings.

Marbuzet bumped into an improver when filling the runner-up spot at Redcar last time out and Tim Easterby's charge is of interest from an unchanged mark. Zephlyn was on target over the extended 2m at Newcastle in March and that proven stamina is to his advantage, for all that earlier turf efforts will need to be improved upon. With that in mind, a chance is taken on INSPIRE HOPE. Completely unexposed on the Flat, she doesn't look overburdened by an opening mark of 66, though it is the step up in trip that could hold the key.

Tim Easterby's MARBUZET ran perfectly well on his recent reappearance and he's off his last winning mark.

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.
