The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(1) Armor , Landed a gamble on debut at Doncaster (5f) under this rider, beating only 3 rivals but tanking through the race in a good time. More to come and leading claims.
(7) ( ) Lucy Lulu
()
(7) Lucy Lulu , Easy to back but won 5f Doncaster maiden in good style on debut on Saturday, knowing her job but travelling impressively through the race. This is a quick turnaround but she's entitled to improve.
(3) ( ) Fair And Square
()
(3) Fair And Square , Bred to be sharp and speedy and showed plenty of ability when second on debut at Windsor (5f) last week, hanging left late on. Should improve and wouldn't dismiss.
1
1st (5) ( ) Navello
()
(5) Navello , Took another big step forward when following up his Wolverhampton win at Brighton last week, forging clear. Good draw and has more improvement to come. Leading claims if breaking smartly.
2
2nd (6) ( ) Devious Angel
()
(6) Devious Angel , Much improved from Newmarket debut when quickening clear to land 5f Southwell event from the front last week. Fillies have a great record in this and she has a very appealing profile.
3
3rd (2) ( ) Beauzon
()
(2) Beauzon , Better than result on debut at Beverley and much improved when easily winning 5f Ripon novice 11 days ago. That probably wasn't much of a race but he can progress further.
4
4th (4) ( ) Mojomaker
()
(4) Mojomaker , Foaled January 30. £40,000 yearling, Mehmas colt. Half-brother to winner up to 1m Swift Mover from good family. Pitched in deep against 5 winners on debut and done no favours with the draw.

(3) ( ) Darlectable You
()
(3) Darlectable You , Dubawi sister to several winners, including high-class Too Darn Hot and very smart Lah Ti Dar. Runner-up both starts 4 months apart over 1¼m and most unlikely she's reached her limit.
(5) ( ) La Joconde
()
(5) La Joconde , Maiden after 5 starts but shaped well when just failing to reel in the winner on last month's reappearance at Leopardstown. Stamina looks her forte and has to command respect for top connections.
(2) ( ) Ahandfulofsummers
()
(2) Ahandfulofsummers , Returned with good third of 19 in maiden at Naas (8f, heavy) in March. Work to do in form terms and doesn't possess the scope of some of these tackling this new trip.
(6) ( ) Nicest
()
(6) Nicest , Won 10-runner maiden at Leopardstown (1m) on debut in July, having to pick her way through. Failed to meet expectations in Group 3 company a month later but pedigree is an ongoing recommendation.
(7) ( ) Quenelle D'or
()
(7) Quenelle D'or , Runner-up both starts last year and matched that form when making all in 8-runner maiden at Kempton a month ago (11f). This demands a lot more.
1
1st (4) ( ) Dubai Fountain
()
(4) Dubai Fountain , Won first 2 starts last year and signed off campaign with an excellent fourth in the Group 1 Fillies' Mile at Newmarket in October. That is the best form on offer and she's bred to stay well.
2
2nd (1) ( ) Zeyaadah
()
(1) Zeyaadah , Highly-promising Tamayuz filly who made it 3 out of 3 in juvenile campaign upped to listed class at Newmarket in October. Work to do out of the stalls but she seems sure to relish this trip.
LTO Selection:
14:15 Chester Listed (Class 1) 11f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
(6) Ey Up It's Maggie , Opened her account in a 5f maiden at Catterick in August, but had her limitations exposed in stronger company next two starts. Fitted with first-time cheekpieces for handicap debut/return.
(5) ( ) Harmony Lil
()
(5) Harmony Lil , Novice/nursery winner over 6f at this course in September. Found some progress after 5 months off when second in a 13-runner handicap at Ripon (6f) 20 days ago and ought to remain competitive.
(2) ( ) Imperial Force
()
(2) Imperial Force , Finished placed in the Norfolk on his second start but has become disappointing, so easy enough to oppose from a stiff opening mark.
(3) ( ) Army Of India
()
(3) Army Of India , Won twice on the AW last season and proved he's just effective on turf when returning with a good third on his handicap debut at Doncaster 12 days ago. Should give another good account.
(8) ( ) Pacopash
()
(8) Pacopash , Not disgraced in a minor event at this course in August, but she was well beaten on all-weather debut at Wolverhampton last time and is 5 lb ‘wrong’ at the weights.
1
1st (4) ( ) Showalong
()
(4) Showalong , Won a pair of novice events at 2 yrs and shaped encouragingly when fourth at Thirsk (5f) on his reappearance 18 days ago. Can do better yet and one to be interested in.
2
2nd (1) ( ) First Company
()
(1) First Company , Left previous efforts behind at huge odds when third in a 5f listed event at Ayr in September. Went a long way to confirming that form in a Newmarket Group 3 but his opening mark looks high enough.
3
3rd (7) ( ) Cuban Breeze
()
(7) Cuban Breeze , C&D winner last term but failed to come on for her reappearance when only fourth of 5 in a 5f handicap at Ripon 11 days ago. Eased a further 2 lb but has a bit to prove at present.
LTO Selection:
14:45 Chester Handicap (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
(7) Wirko , Upwardly mobile Kingman colt who made it 2-3 in 1m2f listed event at Epsom 15 days ago, finding plenty to lead post. Clocked a good time there, and big player here with step up to 1m4f sure to suit.
(3) ( ) Pleasant Man
()
(3) Pleasant Man , Built on winning bow in 1m Haydock novice when last of 5 in Royal Lodge Stakes at Newmarket. Returned with creditable fifth in 1m2f Windsor novice but plenty more is needed now. Cheekpieces fitted.
(1) ( ) Fancy Man
()
(1) Fancy Man , Progressed well as 2-y-o, signing off with 1m listed race at Haydock, and not given a hard time of it when fifth in the Fielden Stakes at Newmarket on his return. Shouldn't be written off up in trip.
(2) ( ) Law Of The Sea
()
(2) Law Of The Sea , Son of Golden Horn who has improved a chunk with each of his three runs, readily bagging 1m4f novices at Kempton and Leicester. Open to further progress, and shouldn't be underestimated for top yard.
1
1st (8) ( ) Youth Spirit
()
(8) Youth Spirit , Progressive 2-y-o, excellent third in 7f Goodwood Group 2 in July, and back from 9 months off with good fourth in Newmarket's Fielden Stakes. Son of Camelot shouldn't be discounted now upped in trip.
2
2nd (4) ( ) Sandhurst
()
(4) Sandhurst , Son of Galileo impressed in 7f Gowran novice win and reappeared with good sixth in Craven Stakes at Newmarket. Bred to be better suited by middle distances and remains with potential. Cheekpieces on.

(7) ( ) Selected
()
(7) Selected , Made it fourth time lucky in a Ripon maiden (5f) last July and hit the frame next 3 starts in nurseries. Possible last month's Thirsk return was needed but draw in 10 not ideal here.
(8) ( ) Sir Benedict
()
(8) Sir Benedict , Dual winner as a juvenile but he ran poorly returning from 4 months off when last of 9 at Newmarket (6f) in April. Will need to leave that effort in his wake to feature.
(4) ( ) Tipperary Tiger
()
(4) Tipperary Tiger , Made a winning debut at Doncaster (6f) in November. Beaten at short odds at Southwell the following month but not seen to best effect at Newcastle in February. Remains the type to do better.
(3) ( ) Imperium Blue
()
(3) Imperium Blue , Progressed nicely as a 2-y-o, landing a Ripon novice (6f) in September and followed up in a York nursery on yard debut a month later. Far from disgraced next 2 starts but wide draw not ideal on return
(5) ( ) Tanfantic
()
(5) Tanfantic , Windsor novice winner on debut in June. Beaten in listed contests next 2 starts but back on the up when landing a Lingfield novice (6f) in August, with bit in hand. Claims now handicapping.
(6) ( ) Water Of Leith
()
(6) Water Of Leith , Kodiac gelding who landed back-to-back AW novice events (at 6f) during the winter. Yet to scale same heights for new yard this spring, yet he's another who remains low-mileage and return to 6f a plus.
(11) ( ) Good Listener
()
(11) Good Listener , Low-mileage son of Mehmas who opened account at Windsor (5f) in October. Gelded, looked very rusty when second on AW return at Wolverhampton and he definitely remains with potential now handicapping.
(12) ( ) Salsoul
()
(12) Salsoul , Well positioned when opening account in 6f Chelmsford nursery in August but seemingly not 100% at Goodwood (6f) the following month. Has since switched yards but this a tough enough ask on return.
1
1st (2) ( ) Paws For Thought
()
(2) Paws For Thought , Improved when bagging 7f nurseries here/Catterick (both at 7f) last summer. Not disgraced when midfield at Doncaster (7f) final start and the drop to 6f shouldn't inconvenience him on return.
2
2nd (10) ( ) Pivoting
()
(10) Pivoting , Showed improved form when signing off last term with success in a Pontefract novice (6f) in October. Never dangerous on return/handicap debut at that venue in April and better showing not ruled out.
3
3rd (1) ( ) Uncle Jumbo
()
(1) Uncle Jumbo , Improving son of Territories who was well backed and looked unlucky not to finish closer when fourth of 7 at Pontefract (6f) last month, denied a run 1f out but keeping on. One to be interested in.
LTO Selection:
15:45 Chester Handicap (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(5) Kingsofthemidlands , €600,000 yearling, Kingman colt who made an encouraging start albeit in need of the experience when fifth of 11 in maiden at Newmarket (8f, good to firm, 2/1) on debut 20 days ago. Better to come.
(2) ( ) Fascinating Shadow
()
(2) Fascinating Shadow , €100,000 Fascinating Rock colt who ran to a fair level on debut when third of 6 in maiden (20/1) at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 9 days ago. More to come but draw could've been kinder.
(4) ( ) Keeper
()
(4) Keeper , Frankel colt who looked clueless when eleventh of 14 in minor event at Newbury (8f, heavy, 5/1) on debut 6 month ago, probably exaggerated by such testing ground. Should progress up in trip.
(6) ( ) Master Of Souls
()
(6) Master Of Souls , €160,000 yearling, Kodiac colt. Dam, 12.5f winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Rutland Boy. Lots to like on breeding, so newcomer is not totally dismissed.
(7) ( ) Smart Boyo
()
(7) Smart Boyo , Twice-raced gelding. Fared no better than on debut after being gelded when ninth of 10 in minor event at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 200/1) 7 days ago. Looks out of his depth in this.
(9) ( ) Missile
()
(9) Missile , Only shown modest form in a couple of starts last year, failing to see her race out after making most at Kempton back in November. In good hands and she remains with potential.
(10) ( ) Rattling Rosie
()
(10) Rattling Rosie , Showed a bit on debut at Haydock in September but failed to repeat that effort when sixth at Newmarket on much more testing ground a month later. Significantly up in trip. Open to progress.
1
1st (1) ( ) Alfaadhel
()
(1) Alfaadhel , 360,000 gns yearling, Night of Thunder colt who produced a promising first effort when third of 9 in maiden at Newbury (8f) on debut 17 days ago. Type to improve markedly with that under his belt.
2
2nd (3) ( ) Immelmann
()
(3) Immelmann , €105,000 yearling, Adlerflug gelding who shaped with plenty of promise when third of 11 in maiden at Nottingham (10.2f, good to firm) on debut 18 days ago, well positioned. Entitled to do better.
3
3rd (8) ( ) Solent Gateway
()
(8) Solent Gateway , Fairly useful performer who progressed again upped markedly in trip when second of 6 in nursery at Wolverhampton (8.6f) on Boxing Day. Trainer's runners demand the utmost respect around here.

(4) ( ) Sir Maximilian
()
(4) Sir Maximilian , Veteran who put a couple of poor AW runs behind him when sixth of 13 back on turf at Haydock recently. Good record here (last 2 wins gained over this C&D) and he's a big player from a favourable draw.
(13) ( ) Shawaamekh
()
(13) Shawaamekh , Placed off higher marks than this on both starts here in 2020, but he ended that campaign on a sour note and has been dealt a bad hand in terms of the draw for this seasonal reappearance.
(7) ( ) Silver Samurai
()
(7) Silver Samurai , Winner of 1m Redcar handicap last summer and, gelded during the winter, he has performed with credit both starts at Kempton this season. Drop back to 7f no great concern, but stall 12 is a worry.
(5) ( ) Lincoln Park
()
(5) Lincoln Park , Largely consistent and resumed winning ways in good style at Southwell (6f) in March. Subsequent defeat can be excused and he goes well here, but stall 11 not ideal and he'll need plenty of rain.
(14) ( ) Praxeology
()
(14) Praxeology , Three-time winner for Mark Johnston at 2 yrs, including here. Back to form when opening account for David Loughnane at Southwell (7f) recently, but more needed under a penalty in this stronger race.
(1) ( ) Rathbone
()
(1) Rathbone , Hasn't got his head in front for the best part of 2 years, but has slipped to an attractive mark and posted a respectable effort at Thirsk (6f) recently. Claims back up in trip here from a handy draw.
(3) ( ) Astro Jakk
()
(3) Astro Jakk , Landed back-to-back 6f contests at Newcastle late last year, but struggled back on turf at Doncaster (first run following a wind op) in March and has been raced exclusively over 5f/6f to date.
(6) ( ) National League
()
(6) National League , Drew a blank in 2020, but resumed this season with a couple of near-misses over 7f. Not disgraced in Class 2 Newbury handicap (1m) latest and, a winner on sole previous visit here, he's not ruled out.
(9) ( ) Redrosezorro
()
(9) Redrosezorro , Successful 3 times over 6f/7f at Catterick last season, the latest off 3 lb lower mark in October. However, failed to fire on Redcar reappearance and he's been done no favours at all by the draw.
(11) ( ) Ledham
()
(11) Ledham , Displayed plenty of ability during time with Sir Michael Stoute, but his 2 starts for new connections this season following a 23-month absence have lacked spark.
(12) ( ) Theotherside
()
(12) Theotherside , Winner of a decent 6f Newmarket handicap off this mark last July, but has subsequently failed to perform to that level and his efforts on the AW in March were uninspiring.
1
1st (2) ( ) Broken Spear
()
(2) Broken Spear , On a long losing run and misfired on return at Southwell. Should be sharper now and refitting of cheekpieces may help, plus he's well-drawn, but stamina (untried beyond 6f) has to be taken on trust.
2
2nd (10) ( ) Baby Steps
()
(10) Baby Steps , Placed on each of his half-a-dozen visits here and this mark shouldn't be beyond him. However, it's off-putting that his sole turf win was back in 2018 and he was below on the AW last time.
3
3rd (8) ( ) Black Friday
()
(8) Black Friday , Enjoyed a productive 2020, signing campaign off with back-to-back wins at Ayr (6f) and Musselburgh (5f). Stays 7f, but record when fresh isn't great and, in any case, this demands a career-best.

About U.K Horse Racing
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.
