THIS GUY has stepped forward with each career start and the son of Blue Point boasts strong credentials on his nursery bow, with an opening mark of 75 appearing to be more than fair. Eyes Front went agonisingly close on his third outing at Haydock and has to enter calculations, especially with cheekpieces applied for the first time. Gascony is of interest now rising in trip.

The penny hasn't dropped with SWEET LORD yet. He's picked in the hope a gelding operation/switch to handicaps will be the making of him.

NOBLE HORIZON appears to have been found an excellent opportunity to get his head in front. Despite tasting defeat at odds-on at Newmarket, William Haggas' colt was beaten by a rival who had been touted as a potential Classic contender in the spring and that form is by far the strongest on offer. Sky Advocate appears to be the main threat, but arrives with something to prove after refusing to go into the stalls at Ffos Las. Of the rest, L'air De Panache and Warrior King are capable of better.

Sky Advocate looks the only legitimate threat to NOBLE HORIZON, who's got a good attitude and can gain a well-deserved success.

SPARTAN TIMES seems to have turned a corner recently, with a victory over hurdles at Worcester backed up by a brace of successes at Ffos Las. The four-year-old is expected to have more to offer now tackling 1m4f again and is capable of proving too strong for the opposition. Ricardo Phillips has run well on both starts in 2025 and is respected up in trip, while the consistent Sea Of Charm appeals most of the remainder.

Spartan Times goes for a four-timer but is asked a bigger question today and perhaps RICARDO PHILLIPS can catch out the topweight.

Having finished second at Yarmouth 20 days ago, ROCK MASTER could be ready to break through. This classified contest looks ripe for the taking and a similar performance from the three-year-old may prove fruitful. Malham Tarn Cove arrives on the back of a respectable third over 5f here and he may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of B Associates.

Sugar Kane can go well but B ASSOCIATES is the interesting one on his second run back with James Owen and returned to 6f.

Having been touched off at Wetherby, Bernalda should give another good account of herself off just 1lb higher. However, the daughter of Frankel might prove vulnerable to a couple of the three-year-olds, with handicap debutant MAGICAL IDEA topping the bill. William Haggas' filly arrives on the back of a respectable fourth in a class 2 novice event at Pontefract and an opening mark of 66 could prove lenient. Fallons First is also of interest now stepping up in distance.

It will be disappointing if MAGICAL IDEA (nap) can't handle her opening mark and this step up in trip should be a positive.

My Boy Harry has been running well in classified company recently and is respected back in a handicap, but preference is for TOOTA. A creditable third over the extended 7f at Beverley having encountered traffic problems, the consistent filly could gain a deserved breakthrough success. Keep Talking hasn't shown much so far, but she enters handicaps from a potentially workable mark and might be able to find some improvement.

My Boy Harry (second choice) should give it another good go but TOOTA's form is arguably a fraction stronger and she gets the nod.

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

Slow starts continue to hinder I CAN BOOGY, but she ran with credit at Beverley latest and is now 2lb lower. Nigel Tinkler's filly was on target off 1lb higher at Redcar in May so is capable of going close if able to break on terms. First-time cheekpieces could eke out a little extra from Desert Beauty, who has shown enough in recent starts to suggest she can play a leading role. Rokuni is another to consider.

I Can Boogy looked on the way back last time but QAAEADD made a fair fist of his first handicap and that's a run he can build on.

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.
