Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Based on the information provided, 1/1 (1) HOLY FIRE seems to have the best chance of finishing in 1st place as it won its last race and has been described as a promising type with potential for further improvement. 1.4/1 (3) BEAU ROC may be a strong contender for 2nd place as it ran well in its previous race and holds solid claims, but is vulnerable to a horse with more potential. 6/1 (2) ANOTHER THOUGHT may finish in 3rd place as it had a promising debut and may improve with the drop in trip, but the question mark over its ability to handle the shorter distance could be a disadvantage. However, it is important to note that horse racing is unpredictable and many factors can influence the outcome of a race, so these predictions are not guaranteed.

HOLY FIRE scored despite showing clear signs of inexperience at Kempton six days ago and Charlie Fellowes would appear to have found his filly the perfect opportunity to double her tally. The consistent Beau Roc sets the standard with an official rating of 66 and is likely to be in the thick of things once again, while Another Thought drops in trip having faded over 1m at Bath on her debut and is not entirely dismissed.

HOLY FIRE should have more to offer on the back of her Kempton success and can give weight away to the more exposed Beau Roc.

Getting weight from her opponents, the consistent BEAU ROC may well open her account. Holy Fire looks the main threat.

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

Based on the summary provided, it is difficult to confidently predict which horse will finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. However, some horses that seem to have a better chance than others based on recent form and potential include 6.5/1 (7) PERSIAN WOLF, 1.25/1 (1) DEVIZES, and 4/1 (2) CRAZY MAISIE. Ultimately, the outcome of the race will depend on a variety of factors and cannot be accurately predicted with certainty.

Devizes ought to be popular following last month's Kempton success, but a 5lb higher mark demands more. With that in mind, a chance is taken on CRAZY MAISIE. She was well held over hurdles last time out but having finished a good second over C&D from this mark the start prior, she could go one better. Uther Pendragon is another to consider.

DEVIZES looked better than ever when returning from an absence to win at Kempton last month and a 4 lb rise doesn't look enough to stop him at a venue which suits him well. Crazy Maisie has been knocking on the door on AW this year and can follow the selection home ahead of Persian Wolf.

Preference is for PERSIAN WOLF who looks interesting with Billy Loughnane booked. Devizes is feared most.

1st: 2.75/1 (3) KENSINGTON AGENT 2nd: 4.5/1 (2) ANTIPHON 3rd: 7/1 (6) PORFIN

A comfortable winner at Wolverhampton last month, the steadily progressive KENSINGTON AGENT might have more to offer from a 6lb raised mark and she edges the vote over Antiphon, who struck at Windsor eight days ago. Porfin merits a place on the shortlist, while it is interesting that connections persist with Ibn Aldar, who returns from a 566-day absence with the betting market likely to guide.

KENSINGTON AGENT added to her fine record on the all weather this year when scoring at Wolverhampton last month and a 6 lb rise in the weights may not prevent further success here. Antiphon and Porfin are feared most.

Antiphon has to be feared but KENSINGTON AGENT, who has been largely progressive this year, looks a solid alternative.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Based on the summary, the top three horses are likely to be 0.8/1 (1) SOLANNA, 3.33/1 (3) HOW HARD CAN IT BE, and 4.5/1 (4) VILLALOBOS in that order. 0.8/1 (1) SOLANNA appears to be in good form, having won a race just seven days ago and being well-treated under a penalty. 3.33/1 (3) HOW HARD CAN IT BE has also been consistent and has a good chance of finishing in the top three. 4.5/1 (4) VILLALOBOS has previously won over this course and distance and cannot be dismissed, although the last race was not as strong. 12/1 (2) CLAY appears to be the weakest of the group and is not likely to finish in the top three.

With just the four runners heading to post, it could pay to side with recent C&D runner-up HOW HARD CAN IT BE. Only narrowly denied last month, a 1lb raised mark looks unlikely to stop her having a say in proceedings. Solanna rates a big player on the pick of his form and is feared, even though he has to shoulder a 5lb penalty for his latest success. Villalobos also warrants respect.

SOLANNA arrives at the top of his game and can follow up his recent Yarmouth victory. How Hard Can It Be looks the likeliest danger.

Solanna is respected but HOW HARD CAN IT BE looks particularly solid on the back of two creditable C&D efforts.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Based on the summary, the horses that are most likely to finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd respectively are: 1st: 1.5/1 (3) IMPERIOUSITY 2nd: 4/1 (4) ALAINN TU 3rd: 3/1 (2) BYEFORNOW

ALAINN TU has been steadily progressive of late and kept on well to score over 6f at Wolverhampton earlier this month. She must command respect given Aidan Keeley negates most of the fillies' 6lb penalty for that success with his 5lb claim. Byefornow was a game winner at this track last time and is feared most, while the reopposing Imperiousity also has a chance.

This can go to IMPERIOUSITY, who got back to his best at Brighton last time and remains fairly treated. Alainn Tu is feared most.

Last-time-out winners Alainn Tu and Byefornow warrant respect but IMPERIOUSITY is taken to open his account.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

1st: 1.38/1 (5) LION TAMER 2nd: 1.38/1 (1) DRAGON ICON 3rd: 8/1 (12) GENTLE

Dragon Icon certainly impressed when winning on his debut at Kempton in November and he looks a horse to watch out for, though he does have to give 7lb to the promising Lion Tamer, who was only beaten by inexperience when second in October, and 12lb to the filly GENTLE. She raced far too freely early on before finishing well at Kempton in December and with that run under her belt, and an added furlong here, she could prove hard to beat.

Derby-entry LION TAMER has more to offer this year and can make a successful reappearance. Impressive Kempton-winner Dragon Icon is a big player, while Gentle, in the same ownership as the selection, could have a stack of improvement in her.

Kempton winner DRAGON ICON looks a good prospect and he is taken to defy a 7lb penalty. Lion Tamer is feared most.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Based on the information provided, 2.25/1 (1) BRASIL POWER seems to be the strongest contender with a good AW record and a recent career-best win at Wolverhampton. 4.5/1 (2) ENOUGH ALREADY and 11/1 (3) ELLADE also have some potential with recent wins at the same course and a strong C&D record, respectively. Therefore, the predicted order of finish would be: 1. 2.25/1 (1) BRASIL POWER 2. 11/1 (3) ELLADE 3. 4.5/1 (2) ENOUGH ALREADY

Ellade saves her best for this venue, with three wins from four starts, the latest over this trip in January 2022 when racing off 1lb higher. Although not at her best more recently, she drops in class today and could surprise a few. BRASIL POWER failed to sparkle in Ireland but has returned to Newmarket and won a shade cleverly at Wolverhampton last week. A 5lb penalty may not stop a follow-up victory, leaving Cephalus as a likely outsider to consider.

BRASIL POWER made a tremendous return for George Boughey at Wolverhampton on Wednesday and is taken to go in again under a penalty. Enough Already struck here on Thursday and is respected. The returning Shockwaves under Oisin Murphy is an interesting alternative.

Based on his record for George Boughey, BRASIL POWER (nap) could well improve further on AW. Ellade is second choice.

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.
