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

A tight race to kick things off and plenty are in with a chance. Lechro bolted up at Beverley last time but gets an 8lb rise in the weights which makes life tougher, while Aighear has been running really well without winning of late and is respected. Super Stars is one to watch in the betting on his first start for Julie Camacho but preference is for OWENS LAD, who looks ready to strike having done well in races that haven't been run to suit the last twice. These conditions should be ideal and he looks a major player.

LECHRO took a marked step up in a first-time visor when landing a Beverley handicap in convincing style and, despite the handicapper having a big say, she's worth a chance to follow up at the possible expense of Flying Moon. Aighear arrives in good order and is also expected to be on the premises.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

SUMMIT has shaped with considerable promise on both her starts to date and this drop back to 6f on a stiff track is fancied to see her get off the mark. Gutsy Girl should have learnt plenty from her debut at Ascot, when held up in a race which suited the frontrunners, and she looks the main danger. Suicide Blonde took a step forward at Yarmouth last time and looks best of the rest.

SUMMIT has shaped with plenty of encouragement on both outings to date and this isn't as strong a race as the novice she contested at Newmarket last time, so she gets the nod ahead of Gutsy Girl, who offered something to work on at Ascot on debut. Suicide Blonde should also be on the premises.

William Haggas' Kodiac filly SUMMIT hold the clear edge on form, so is taken to build on her Newmarket second last time.

Both her debut at Kempton and her last run at Ripon suggest that ELUSIVE ANGEL may have been let in lightly on handicap debut off an opening mark of 73, and she can gain the first win of her career today. However, there are a whole host of potential dangers, possibly headed by Creative Style, who will be a player if the first-time blinkers do the trick from a low draw. B Associates and Happier are both likely to be involved in the finish if bouncing back to their form from earlier in the season.

ELUSIVE ANGEL has created a positive impression on two of her three starts to date and is likely to take another step forward now handicapping, so she's preferred to Mersea and Happier, who are both liable to bounce back returning to a sounder surface.

Handicap debutante ELUSIVE ANGEL is open to more progress and looks to have been given a lenient opening mark here

BACK TOMORROW shaped with significant promise when chasing home a short-priced favourite on her debut a fortnight ago. Her finishing effort would suggest she ought to appreciate the stiff finish here, and natural progression can see Richard Spencer's filly strike at the second time of asking. Sidney's Son sets the standard with an official rating of 70 and he is likely to be in the thick of things, while No More Heroes appeals most of the remainder.

BACK TOMORROW shaped nicely amidst greenness when runner-up at Bath a fortnight ago and, with the potential for better, she's preferred to Sidney's Son, who is closely matched on form but more exposed. Market support for newcomer Rose'aid would look significant.

Richard Spencer's Rajasinghe filly BACK TOMORROW shaped well when a debut Bath second this month and can go one better.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Although REDARNA has not been at his best in recent starts, he is now 5lb lower than for last year's Thirsk Hunt Cup success and the drop into a class 4 contest is an added positive. Dianne Sayer's nine-year-old is preferred to Quest For Fun, who finished a creditable fourth in a competitive Racing League heat last time out. C&D winner Poet's Magic is another to enter calculations, along with Yoshimi, who seeks a third success from his last four starts.

MOBASHR had excuses at Windsor last week and can show he's still very much at the top of his game. Quest For Fun and John Quinn pair Poet's Magic and Red Mirage may give the selection most to do.

Mick Appleby's MOBASHR is having a good summer and can bounce back in style having not enjoyed the rub of the green at Windsor.

In a race lacking depth, it might pay to side with the in-form FORTUITOUS STAR. Grant Tuer's charge has been knocking on the door in recent starts and she went desperately close at Redcar 11 days ago. A similar display could be enough to see the daughter of Starspangledbanner strike at the 12th time of asking, although Mister Sox can provide a stern challenge. The Caltonian completes the shortlist.

MISTER SOX has been shaping up quite well since the blinkers have gone on and is taken to come good back over shorter. The reliable Fortuitous Star is second choice ahead of The Caltonian.

Grant Tuer's consistent FORTUITOUS STAR (nap) arrives on the back of an excellent Redcar second and can gain a deserved breakthrough win
