Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Based on the summary provided, 3.5/1 (8) PEARLY GAITS and 3.5/1 (2) CUBAN GREY are the most likely to do well in the race. 3.5/1 (8) PEARLY GAITS had a near miss on their last handicap debut and is nudged up 1 lb in the current race, while 3.5/1 (2) CUBAN GREY has a respectable handicap fourth and is positive about their third outing on turf. However, Colors of Freedom and 14/1 (6) MICK SAYS NO may also have potential for a good performance.

Bill Turner is traditionally a trainer to follow in the early part of the turf season and his Pearly Gaits is considered given she is open to progression in handicaps. By way of contrast, Colors Of Freedom is respected dropped in class after a respectable effort on the all-weather at Southwell. However, preference is for CUBAN GREY, who dug deep to land a novice event at Wolverhampton on his penultimate start and remains on a workable mark.

PEARLY GAITS left previous efforts behind switched to a handicap when runner-up at Windsor last month and it would be no surprise should she be able to go a place better on this occasion. Cuban Grey was unable to replicate the form of his novice win back in handicap company last time, but he should be in the mix, with Imperiousity another fancied to feature.

Bottomweight PEARLY GAITS still appeared to be learning on the job before running on well to go close on her recent handicap debut.

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

Based on the information provided, 1.88/1 (7) VIA ELECTRIANO is the most likely to do well as they showed promising form in their debut and the fourth horse they raced against has since won. Additionally, they are listed as a major player and have relatively good odds at 25/1. However, 6/1 (6) MARIAMNE also has potential due to their connection to a Group-placed 6f-7f winner and their yard's success in 2yo races. Ultimately, it is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will perform the best as there are many factors that can impact the outcome of a race.

The debut run from VIA ELECTRIANO sets the standard given she was a close second to a well-supported winner at Kempton. The daughter of Equiano showed determination in a sustained battle with the eventual victor in the closing stages and that experience gives her an edge. Mariamne is the most interesting of the newcomers and warrants a betting check, while Bath runner-up Grey Gray is suggested as the best of the rest with previous form.

Having been tough to get in the stalls, VIA ELECTRIANO showed plenty to work on when runner-up at Kempton 3 weeks ago so, with that initial experience under her belt, Amy Murphy's filly can go one better. Grey Gray filled the runner-up spot at Bath on debut 12 days ago and she may have to settle for silver again, with Mariamne the most appealing newcomer on paper.

Grey Gray ran well on debut but VIA ELECTRIANO probably achieved more when going very close at Kempton.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Based on the summary provided, it is difficult to predict which horse will do well as each horse has its own strengths and weaknesses. However, 1.63/1 (7) BIG BARD and 5/1 (1) PINWHEEL both seem to have had recent good form and are carrying respectable odds, so they might be worth considering. 5/1 (5) STREET PARADE and 5.5/1 (4) FORCA BRASIL also have potential, while 10/1 (2) BATCHELOR BOY and 20/1 (6) MOUNT MOGAN may need more time to regain their form. Ultimately, it is up to the individual to do their own research and analysis before placing a bet.

BIG BARD has won back-to-back races before now and having run away with a 0-65 handicap at Windsor last week, he is an appealing proposition turned out under a 5lb penalty. It's an added bonus that the Gary Moore-trained gelding is also a previous C&D winner and, with Sean Kirrane pitching in with his 3lb claim, there is a lot to like. The wily Street Parade is effective here and is not dismissed, while Batchelor Boy and Pinwheel are others capable of going close.

FORCA BRASIL is back under the care of George Boughey and given he won on debut for the yard 2 years ago he's worth chancing off a very tempting mark before any market clues. Windsor-winner Big Bard and Pinwheel are feared.

Big Bard is opposed with PINWHEEL, who has yet to win in Britain but ran very well in defeat on Polytrack last month.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Based on the information given, 1.63/1 (5) QUINAULT and 3.33/1 (3) THE TOFF seem to be the strongest contenders. 1.63/1 (5) QUINAULT won comfortably on their recent handicap debut and although they have a 6lb penalty, they are described as a promising individual open to further improvement. 3.33/1 (3) THE TOFF also had a career best with a recent win and is described as suited to both turf and All-Weather surfaces, and likely to give another good account. 6/1 (7) ENBORNE and 7.5/1 (4) MENALIPPE also warrant consideration as lightly-raced contenders with potential.

QUINAULT was quite taking when successful on his handicap debut at Chelmsford last Thursday and a 6lb penalty might not be enough to stop Stuart Williams' charge from going in again. Fellow last-time-out winner The Toff has also hit some form of late and the 3lb rise for his Lingfield triumph shouldn't prevent another bold bid. Menalippe looks like she may appreciate this return to 7f and is another to note.

QUINAULT looked well ahead of his opening mark when scoring at Chelmsford last week and, if the race doesn't come too soon, he's likely to follow up. Fellow last-time-out winner The Toff is the chief threat and Enborne merits respect.

He faces a different test here but QUINAULT looked a long way ahead of his handicap mark when winning over 6f on Polytrack on Thursday.

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

It is difficult to predict which horse will do well based on this summary. However, 4.5/1 (1) SIMPLY GORGEOUS and 5/1 (6) TARA seem to have performed relatively well in their recent races and are described as having more appeal than others in the field.

With solid recent form thin on the ground, this could be a good opportunity for TARA to gain a first career success. Lydia Richards' mare finished a respectable third at Chelmsford last month and a similar bid may suffice on this switch to the turf. Sapphire's Moon wasn't disgraced when fourth over C&D recently and is feared most, with Simply Gorgeous making most appeal of the remainder.

ROMANOVICH hasn't had much racing and there was mild encouragement in his sixth at Wolverhampton last time out, so he's a tentative choice in a weak race. Simply Gorgeous is worthy of consideration and Tara arrives on the back of a creditable run, so she's not a forlorn hope.

Only 1lb higher than when winning at Chelmsford in February, SIMPLY GORGEOUS might be the answer to a tricky puzzle.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

2.25/1 (2) SEATTLE KING is likely to do well in this race, having ended a lengthy losing run with a recent C&D success and still being on a workable mark back at 1m2f. 2.75/1 (5) ASENSE also has solid claims, having been a creditable 2½ lengths sixth of 13 to 2.25/1 (2) SEATTLE KING in a handicap at the same C&D. 6/1 (4) SUN FESTIVAL and 9/1 (6) GLOBAL STYLE can also be considered, while the other horses are less likely to be competitive in this race.

ASENSE was by no means disgraced when denied a clear run on her way to finishing sixth over C&D last time out. The daughter of Equiano has been dropped 1lb for that effort and looks poised to go close with Sean Kirrane claiming 3lb in the saddle. Lisdarragh sits 1lb below his last winning mark and demands the utmost respect, despite posting a lacklustre effort at Chelmsford last month. Global Style is still a maiden on turf but may sneak minor money.

SEATTLE KING (engaged here Tuesday) scored over C&D recently and may well be able to repeat the feat in a thin race. Asense and Sun Festival were both behind the selection that day but the former didn't have a hard race and looks the main danger.

Gary Moore's ASENSE (nap) met traffic when sixth on her seasonal debut and, with that run under her belt, might be ready to strike now.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Based on the summary, 0.91/1 (3) HELLAVAPACE seems like the strongest contender as they have recently won without penalty at the same track and distance and have gone well at the course in the past. Additionally, they have obvious claims without penalty.

This competitive contest can go to HELLAVAPACE, who kept on well to edge clear of her rivals in an apprentice handicap at Wolverhampton. The five-year-old escapes a penalty and can take full advantage. If she fails to fire, it would be no surprise if Storm Asset went one better than his weekend effort at Wolverhampton, when staying on into second over 7f. Rivas Rob Roy hasn't been at the top of his game of late, but this step back up in trip may yield improvement.

HELLAVAPACE ended a losing run in good style under Olivia Tubb at Wolverhampton last week, seeing off a subsequent winner, and her claims are obvious given she's unpenalised. Storm Asset and Letter of The Law are dangers.

Consistent mare HELLAVAPACE scored under a positive Olivia Tubb ride at Wolverhampton eight days ago and is on the same mark here.
