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

WITHOUT FLAW was a good winner over 6f at Ffos Las on her latest outing and this looks like a good opportunity to follow up that success. Archie Watson's charge carries a 6lb penalty for that two-and-a-half-length win but that doesn't appear out of her reach after winning in such comfortable fashion. Tiora is feared most after a good second over 6f at Nottingham but she has been raised 2lb in the ratings which makes life tougher, while Swiftly should also be noted on her handicap bow.

WITHOUT FLAW produced a front-running performance befitting of her name at Ffos Las recently and, if able to perform to a similar level here just five days later, she will prove hard to beat. Tiora was runner-up on her nursery debut at Nottingham and she gets the nod ahead of Justahunch for forecast purposes.

The one to beat is WITHOUT FLAW who seemed to revel in testing conditions at Ffos Las on Monday and looks well treated under a penalty.

Despite only half a dozen runners lining up, this still appears to be a competitive contest with the tentative selection being STAR OF LADY M. David O'Meara's three-year-old was a clear second over the extended 5f at York last time and this looks a good opportunity for her to go one better today, despite having to negotiate a 1lb rise in the ratings. Last-time-out winners Thunder Star and Slingsbytoo both arrive here in good form but they have been handed 5lb and 3lb penalties respectively for those victories and have no margin for error.

SLINGSBYTOO finished strongly when opening his account dropped to 5f for the first time at Catterick last month and, provided that they go an honest gallop here, a 3 lb rise may not be enough to stop him in his tracks. Fortunate Star did well under the circumstances at Nottingham recently and he is feared most ahead of Star of Lady M.

This can go to STAR OF LADY M (nap) who has been steadily working her way back into form in handicaps this year and goes on any ground.

WONDERWALL is very useful over obstacles and he made a pleasing Flat debut when a neck second over 1m2f at Pontefract last month, so looks a big player today with scope for improvement. Jeff Koons should also be taken seriously after shaping as if this step up in trip would be a positive when scoring over 1m at Newmarket, while Iron Lion is another to consider.

MEASURED TIME was a warm order prior to making a successful start at Kempton 6 months ago and, with the longer trip in his favour, he's preferred to fellow winner Jeff Koons, who still looked green despite getting up late at Newmarket recently. Iron Lion is another one to consider for all that he lacks the potential of the aforementioned pair.

QUINTUS ARRIUS and Mountain Warrior (second) renew rivalry after they met at Hamilton in a fierce battle to the line, when the former held on to score by a neck. The selection is only 1lb worse off with the runner-up today and, with first-time blinkers a possible source of improvement, he can confirm his superiority, despite struggling in a hot race at York since. Hydration was a close-up third at Lingfield on his latest outing and looks the best of the remainder, as he goes off the same mark.

MOUNTAIN WARRIOR is going the right way and, while denied by Quintus Arrius last time, that rival has disappointed since, so he's a confident selection to get his head back in front. The lightly-raced Hydration is a danger and Thankuappreciate should give his running if he avoids a very slow start.

It may be worth chancing MERSEA who suggested she was worth another go at 6f when a running-on fourth at York eight days ago.

MILBANKE ran well when third in a class 4 event over 7f at Catterick last time and he was kindly dropped 1lb for that effort, which now puts him only 1lb higher than his last winning mark, so he ought to go very close. Bishop's Crown failed to justify favouritism when he was runner-up in maiden company at Leicester last time and he is respected now back in the handicap ranks, while last-time-out winner So Grateful holds an obvious chance despite a 4lb rise.

BISHOP'S CROWN has been running consistently well and was clear of the rest when second in a maiden over this distance at Leicester in July, so he's taken to open his account in first-time cheekpieces. Milbanke is considered the main danger and Burj Malinka should put a poor run at this course behind him.

Better must have been expected from BURJ MALINKA here last time and he is worth another chance now 2lb below his last winning mark.

Ey Up Its Jazz has been sent off favourite the last twice and he went a lot closer last time at Beverley when only denied by half a length, but he was put up 1lb for that display and the vote, instead, goes to ATOMISE. The daughter of Ardad has been dropped 1lb for his fifth at Carlisle and he looks to have slipped to an appealing mark. Spartan Fighter is another to consider after his fifth at Hamilton.

EY UP ITS JAZZ is a likeable type who got back on the up at Beverley 12 days ago and, with testing conditions predicted, he's a confident choice to resume winning ways in first-time cheekpieces. Streaky Bay is likely to return to form, so she's regarded as the main threat ahead of the well-treated Atomise.

Last year's winner ASMUND can go in again. He is 3lb higher than 12 months ago, but has dropped 1lb below 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.
