Based on the summary, 0.8/1 (2) PONGA looks like the strongest contender and is likely to finish in 1st place. 6/1 (1) MULLINS BEACH and 33/1 (7) RUN JOY RUN have outside chances of finishing 2nd and 3rd, but their performances have not been particularly impressive so far. It is difficult to predict the performance of 8/1 (3) TEA LEAF TED, 14/1 (4) COASTAL SUNRISE, 8.5/1 (5) FENGARI, and 12/1 (6) GRISE without more information, but their market position and trainer's form may give some indication of their chances.

PONGA finished a fair third over this trip at Beverley last time and he is taken to improve, especially when considering his run for second at Kempton on his racecourse debut last month. The son of Acclamation is entitled to break his maiden at the third time of asking. Debutants Tea Leaf Ted and Grise appeal most of the remainder.

PONGA couldn't quite match his debut form when third at Beverley earlier this month but looks the likeliest scorer here. Mullins Beach is the obvious danger on form, whilst Fengari may be the pick of the newcomers.

Dominic Ffrench Davis is enjoying a good spring with 2yos and TEA LEAF TED may be up to the job. Fengari is interesting too.

It is difficult to determine which horse will do well from this summary as many have performed poorly in their recent races or have inconsistent form. However, 2.5/1 (1) CELESTIAL FORCE stands out as a horse with a proven track record on this type of ground and a successful career both on the flat and over hurdles. Ben Curtis is also a positive booking for the ride. 9/1 (2) NAVEGAON GATE and Little could also be considered as potential contenders based on their past performances, but their lack of consistency and recent poor form make it difficult to predict their success. Therefore, the predicted finish for the top three horses would be 2.5/1 (1) CELESTIAL FORCE in 1st, 9/1 (2) NAVEGAON GATE in 2nd, and Little in 3rd.

CELESTIAL FORCE hasn't been seen on the Flat since 2019, but the gelded son of Sea The Stars has posted some respectable efforts over timber of late and gets a rather tentative vote here. Tiger Voice has been kept busy over both hurdles and fences of late and is feared most, while Still Standing looks the pick of the remainder.

A decidedly trappy seller with CELESTIAL FORCE receiving the tentative vote in the hope he's ready to roll after a lengthy absence. Free Chakarte and Still Standing may emerge as the chief threats.

A few were useful in the past but only NAVEGAON GATE has achieved anything in recent times. Watch the market with Celestial Force.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Based on the summary, the horses that have the best chance of finishing in the top three are 2.5/1 (6) DANZART, 3.5/1 (4) AUTUMN FLIGHT, and 3/1 (1) AUTUMN ANGEL. 2.5/1 (6) DANZART has been showing solid form, 3.5/1 (4) AUTUMN FLIGHT has recently won a smaller field race and is well-treated in the new yard, and 3/1 (1) AUTUMN ANGEL has been consistent and handles the ground well. The other horses either have not been in good form or have not shown recent promise.

A game winner over this trip at Brighton earlier this month, AUTUMN FLIGHT looks capable of securing a double on his stable debut for Ian McInnes. A 4lb rise for that success may not be enough to hold the seven-year-old back here, but Danzart retains the mark following a creditable second over C&D last month and can give the selection plenty to think about. King Of Speed finished third at Newcastle last time out and completes the shortlist.

DANZART has been given a chance by the handicapper and returned to form when runner-up over C&D a fortnight ago. He can go one better here. Autumn Angel and Autumn Flight look the likeliest dangers.

Front-runner AUTUMN FLIGHT arrives in good form and will have no problem with the much softer ground. He's preferred to Danzart.

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

Based on the summary provided, it is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. However, some horses that show promise and are likely to perform well include 12/1 (8) WHERE'S FREDDY, 1.38/1 (6) LOWTON, and 3.5/1 (4) GREEN GO. 12/1 (8) WHERE'S FREDDY and 1.38/1 (6) LOWTON have both shown promising performances in their recent races and are expected to improve further. 3.5/1 (4) GREEN GO is a well-bred newcomer from a top stable and may perform well based on betting trends. However, as with any horse race, unforeseen circumstances and factors can always affect the outcome.

This could turn into a match between LOWTON and Ascari, where the former just shades the vote for the Ed Bethell stable. The son of Pivotal shaped well on his first start when beaten under three lengths at Doncaster over this trip and, with the likelihood of much more to come, he could prove very tough to beat. Of the remainder, Green Go looks the most interesting on debut and he warrants a market check.

LOWTON made an excellent start under a considerate ride when third at Doncaster first time out and, unless Green Go proves to be an above-average newcomer, he should be up to scoring at the second attempt. Ascari is also a player despite looking a little wayward last time.

This might develop into a straight fight between LOWTON and Ascari, with narrow preference for the former.

1st: 3.5/1 (3) TYGER BAY 2nd: 6/1 (8) PARISIAC 3rd: 7/1 (6) COLD STARE

COLD STARE ran a creditable third last time over C&D considering he missed the break and he was dropped 1lb for that effort. The eight-year-old gelding is now 13lb lower than his last winning mark and looks to have conditions in his favour. The main danger looks to be Tyger Bay, who can remain competitive off the same mark as at Windsor last time. Blind Beggar would be a player if bouncing back to form.

PARISIAC took a step back in the right direction when third on his penultimate start at Thirsk and, having again ran well when fourth at Salisbury since, he gets the narrow vote to confirm himself on a handy mark. Broken Spear has bounced back to form also in recent weeks and is feared, with Blind Beggar another to consider in an open-looking contest.

This looks a good opportunity for TYGER BAY (nap) to return to winning ways, with Blind Beggar the main danger.

Based on the information given, 1.63/1 (2) ALBESEEINGYER seems to have the best chance of winning as it has completed a four-timer and won a 17-runner handicap race recently. 6/1 (5) MARGARET'S FUCHSIA and 5/1 (1) EPONINA may also perform well and finish in 2nd and 3rd place. 10/1 (3) MISS SARAJEVO and 9/1 (6) STORYINTHESAND are not completely dismissed but may have a lower chance of winning. 4.5/1 (4) STAR SOUND is a potential improver but may not have been given a lenient rating by the assessor.

Course specialist EPONINA won this contest last year off 2lb lower and she tuned up nicely for a repeat with a solid runner-up effort at Beverley last time out. Heavy ground should pose no concerns and she may have too much for the in-form Albeseeingyer, who arrives in search of a five-timer. Margaret's Fuchsia wasn't beaten far at Yarmouth and must also enter calculations.

ALBESEEINGYER needed to up her game considerably to make it four in a row at Doncaster on reappearance and she's well worth chancing to keep up her winning sequence. Eponina is respected given her course record and there's reason to think Star Sound can improve now switched to handicaps.

The progressive ALBESEEINGYER is taken to extend her winning spree to five. Eponina might follow her home.

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

Based on the summary, I predict that 4/1 (5) DISTINCTION, 1.1/1 (2) BURABACK, and 3.33/1 (1) BIG BEAR HUG will finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd respectively. 4/1 (5) DISTINCTION has had recent successful runs and has appropriate conditions, 1.1/1 (2) BURABACK had a respectable third place finish despite starting slowly, and 3.33/1 (1) BIG BEAR HUG has shown potential on soft/heavy ground and has the advantage of a return to a preferred distance. 18/1 (3) LONG CALL has not shown recent form and 7/1 (4) KINGWELL has not been competitive in their last few races. Player has the potential based on their past performances but has not shown recent success.

BURABACK has been through several trainers in his career, but he has shown particular promise of late for Michael Appleby, for whom he has run with credit on his last three starts. The son of Buratino has performed well under these conditions before and gets the vote ahead of the likes of Big Bear Hug, and Distinction, who is winless since August 2021.

BURABACK is unexposed for his current stable and did very well to get third at Lingfield recently considering he completely blew the start, so he gets the nod ahead of Big Bear Hug, who should bounce back to form returning to a more suitable trip. Distinction is also considered.

Buraback needs to settle upped from 7f and DISTINCTION, who has conditions to suit, looks the way to go.

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.
