Stayed on strongly for 50-1 second over 7f at Newmarket on debut; he's the one to beat.
2	4 2nd (4) (2/1 +56%) Mr Colonel	2 2/1(+56%)	(4) Mr Colonel 2/1, 24 Mar; Frankel colt; half-brother to very smart 10 furlong horse High Stock; yard does well with their youngsters around these parts; bred to appreciate this trip; could go well on debut Frankel half-brother to 1m2f Listed runner-up High Stock; one to be interested in on debut.

4	8 4th (8) (80/1 -100%) What A Racket	80 80/1(-100%)	(8) What A Racket 80/1, Once-raced maiden; needed the experience when a well beaten fifth of six in a 7f novice at Yarmouth on debut; with the yard out of form, she needs to show a lot more. Well beaten at Yarmouth on recent debut; subsequently changed hands for 4,000gns.

Soundly beaten on debut but this 90,000gns foal has a useful pedigree; check the market.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

AUGUST GEORGE will likely prove a warm order. The son of Night Of Thunder ran green over 7f at Newmarket on debut, but caught the eye finishing with a late flourish for second, and gave the strong impression this extra yardage would suit in the process. Saxophonist is another likely to appreciate this longer trip based on his promising third at Newcastle, while Mr Colonel is related to three winners on the Flat and is a newcomer to note.

Having gone very close to springing a 50-1 shock on his debut at Newmarket a fortnight ago, AUGUST GEORGE is taken to go one better.

1	2 1st (2) (4/5 -30%) Seren Star	0.8 4/5(-30%)	(2) Seren Star 4/5, Just had the three career runs; weak in the market when winning a maiden at Chepstow over 8f by 1 1/4l last time; trainer in good form; handicap debut; a contender in this race Made all in Chepstow maiden; major player for top Newmarket trainer on handicap debut.
2	1 2nd (1) (4/1 +33%) Pomme Pomme	4 4/1(+33%)	(1) Pomme Pomme 4/1, Won four in a row during May/June; bit in hand when scoring by 2 1/4l over 10f at Haydock three starts back; since came fifth and beaten by 8 1/2l last time; enjoys making it; a threat here Won her first five handicaps; slow ground may not have suited last time; could bounce back.
3	3 3rd (3) (9/4 +44%) Hackney Diamonds	2.25 9/4(+44%)	(3) Hackney Diamonds 9/4, Below par when beaten by 9 1/2l in a handicap over 12f at Ascot last time; in good form prior; blinkers fitted for the first time; significant jockey booking; can put in a better display in this sort of race 3rd of six at Chester in June but down the field the next twice; blinkers replace a visor.

17:35 Hamilton (Class 4) 9f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

William Haggas boasts an excellent strike rate at this venue and SEREN STAR can add to his tally. She made every yard at Chepstow to win her maiden in good style and has bags of potential for further improvement now handicapping. The progressive Pomme Pomme ran well for third over a longer trip here in June and she rates the main danger, unless first-time blinkers bring forth improvement from Hackney Diamonds.

The well-bred SEREN STAR is William Haggas's sole runner here today and this Chepstow maiden winner can follow up on her handicap debut.

2	3 2nd (3) (1/5 +20%) Tiernan	0.2 1/5(+20%)	(3) Tiernan 1/5, Ideally suited by the trip when coming a 3/4l third in Glasgow Stakes (Listed) here most recent run; steadily progressive; top course jockey; the pick on balance of form Close Listed third over C&D last month; very tough to beat on that form.
3	1 3rd (1) (6/1 -9%) Si Solus	6 6/1(-9%)	(1) Si Solus 6/1, Twice raced maiden; second and beaten by 3l in a maiden at Southwell latest; also second on debut for previous trainer; tongue-tie fitted for the first time; sure to go well here Second on Southwell AW on both starts, albeit no threat to the winners; improvement needed.

18:05 Hamilton (Class 2) 11f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

TIERNAN is difficult to oppose. Iain Jardine's charge defied massive odds when finishing a close third in the Listed Glasgow Stakes over C&D, and the son of Dubawi looks to have little to fear from today's opposition back in novice company. Si Solus debuts on the turf having shown ability in a couple of efforts at Southwell. He could improve further with a tongue-tie applied for the first time, while Spirit Of Nature will likely appreciate this extra test of stamina.

This should be an excellent opportunity for TIERNAN, who built upon his previous promise when a close Listed third over C&D last month.

2	2 (2) (9/4 +32%) Paddy The Squire	2.25 9/4(+32%)	(2) Paddy The Squire 9/4, Well backed when landing a handicap by 5l off the mark of 87 at Thirsk last time; upped 9lb's in the weights after that victory last time; won at Chester in May; running well this season and he is the one to beat here Won at Thirsk a fortnight ago; hit with 9lb rise but this thriving 5yo had 5l to spare.
5	5 (5) (4/1 +20%) Beylerbeyi	4 4/1(+20%)	(5) Beylerbeyi 4/1, Raced a bit too freely when landing a handicap by 3/4l off the mark of 85 at Chepstow last time; usually held up during races; up 6lb's after the victory last time; probably a bit more to come 3-3 since being upped to 1m4f and could still have more left in the tank; solid claims.
6	6 (6) (8/1 -14%) Sportingsilvermine	8 8/1(-14%)	(6) Sportingsilvermine 8/1, Travelled well when beaten by a neck off the mark of 80 over 11f at Yarmouth last time; upped 4lb's in the weights after that effort; won off the mark of 73 back in April; will probably need a career best to win this Has done well for new yard this season and went close at Yarmouth four weeks ago.
3	3 (3) (12/1 +33%) Faylaq	12 12/1(+33%)	(3) Faylaq 12/1, Below par when finishing down the field in a handicap over 10f at York most recent; in good form prior; top course jockey/trainer combination; value selection based on balance of form Well beaten in John Smith's Cup but won two in a row here in May and is not ruled out.
4	4 (4) (14/1 -87%) La Pulga	14 14/1(-87%)	(4) La Pulga 14/1, Scored by 6l off the mark of 85 at Newcastle in July; since came second and beaten by 1/2l off the mark of 93 last time; enjoys making it during his races; could be a contender here Course winner who went close at Ascot a fortnight ago and is capable of another bold bid.
7	7 (7) (25/1 -79%) Spanish Hustle	25 25/1(-79%)	(7) Spanish Hustle 25/1, Keen and ran to form when scoring by a nose off the mark of 73 here on penultimate start; since came fourth and beaten by 5 1/2l off the mark of 77 last time; top course trainer; chance Six-time course winner, including two this season, but could be vulnerable now up in grade.
8	8 (8) (80/1 -220%) Tafsir	80 80/1(-220%)	(8) Tafsir 80/1, 6yo with plenty of experience under her belt; ran to form when beaten by 4l off the mark of 70 over 1m6f at Carlisle last time; back down in trip here; top course trainer; might need to bounce back in this Four-time course winner but 6lb wrong at the weights today and looks up against it.

18:35 Hamilton (Class 2) 12f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Spanish Hustle has won here six times, with two of those over this distance, but he needs a career best off his current rating which looks a big ask in better company. Paddy The Squire won over this trip at Thirsk by five lengths earlier this month but he has an added 9lb from the handicapper, and the vote goes to DEFIANCE. A running on third in a similar race at Goodwood last month, he races off the same mark now and deserves another try at this distance.

The step back up to 1m4f could be just what DEFIANCE needs following his staying-on third over 1m2f at Glorious Goodwood.

4	4 (4) (9/2 +44%) Elegant Erin	4.5 9/2(+44%)	(4) Elegant Erin 9/2, Bit too much to do when beaten by 3/4l off the mark of 81 at Pontefract last time; runs off the same mark here; came second on three occasions back in April/May/June; could run well Running well in defeat on turf since April and every chance she'll be in the mix.

19:05 Hamilton (Class 3) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

In a wide-open handicap top-weight NAANA'S SPARKLE could come out on top. Alice Haynes' gelding has won two of his last three starts with a length victory at Goodwood last month and may have more to come as an improving three-year-old. Brummell also won last time out when successful by a nose at Pontefract and a 3lb rise is balanced by his jockey's 5lb claim, while Far Above Dream completes the shortlist.

Topweight NAANA'S SPARKLE (nap) is a 3yo on the up and can post his third win from his last four starts.

19:35 Hamilton (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

THE GOOD BISCUIT failed to supplement his Pontefract victory when fourth at the same venue next time, but that was still a fair effort, and he goes off an unchanged rating. The four-year-old looks to have found a suitable opportunity to bounce back to winning ways. Iris Dancer has struck over C&D eight times in her career and showed more when sixth over track and trip earlier in the month, so she needs considering. Dandy Magic is next best.

Ruth Carr's THE GOOD BISCUIT looks right back on song and can quickly resume winning ways on the back of a very good Pontefract fourth

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

The hat-trick seeking Global Effort is one to keep an eye on, along with last-time-out Beverley scorer Rock Of England, but the vote goes to THUNDERSTORM KATIE. Jim Goldie's filly didn't get a clear run when attempting to land a third victory in succession at Ayr last time. With Paul Mulrennan taking over in the plate, she is the one to be on.

A case can be made for a few here but SOUTH SHORE is taken to gain compensation for an unlucky-in-running fifth at Beverley last time

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.
