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

Publicity was fitted with cheekpieces when scoring over track and trip on his penultimate outing and blinkers are applied on this occasion. He makes more appeal than Sun Dancer Girl, who will likely finish closer back on this surface having struggled on soft going at Wetherby. However, HONRADO ran fresh at Yarmouth on his seasonal/handicap debut and with this extra test of stamina expected to suit Michael Bell's unexposed charge, a bold bid looks likely. Of the rest, Veer can do better now handicapping for the first time.

HONRADO is still unexposed and, having not been seen to best effect on handicap debut at Yarmouth last time, he's worth a chance to step forward upped further in trip. Bella Grazia also arrives on the back of a positive start to handicaps and she's regarded as the main threat ahead of Publicity.

Preference is for in-form PUBLICITY, ahead of Bella Grazia who looks set for an interesting rematch with the selection.

Young Endless has been in fine form at Southwell having won three of his last four outings. He's been raised a further 3lb for his latest success, while Doublethetrouble is capable at this level and may get involved in the finish. However, MYRIAD returned from a lengthy layoff with a decent third in class 4 company a fortnight ago. He'll appreciate this drop in class and return to a longer trip, having won twice on the Polytrack in the past, so he is fancied to go close.

YOUNG ENDLESS is in a rich vein of form and makes most appeal as he bids to make if four wins from five outings. Doublethetrouble is in good form and should pose a threat for all that he's an infrequent winner, while Myriad can get involved if able to build on a respectable reappearance.

The suggestion is MYRIAD, who looks interesting off a workable mark. Abraaj and Young Endless are respected.

This extra furlong should see the Godolphin colt Symbol Of Honour in a better light on the back of a moderate debut effort at Newmarket, although Sabrimento failed to improve as expected last time. Hofburg is a newcomer to note for Richard Hannon's yard but any strong support for fellow debutant FEERAAS, a half-brother to a winner in France, would boost confidence in Archie Watson's charge making a winning start.

Plenty of interesting newcomers, and the market may guide, but SYMBOL OF HONOUR, who cost a pretty packet and is bred to be well above average, is presumably thought capable of a lot better than what he showed on debut at Newmarket and gets the nod. Feeraas and The Outlaw are newcomers who really take the eye on paper.

The market should reveal plenty here but Richard Hannon's juveniles are among the winners so his Mehmas colt HOFBURG gets the verdict

SO OBSESSED has won twice on the all-weather already this year and may well continue her good progress racing on this surface for the first time. She's only 2lb higher than when successful under Brandon Wilkie at Wolverhampton last time and can strike again. Pannonica slips further down the weights and can go well along with It's Showtime, while Marcus makes his handicap debut and may well improve.

This can go to SO OBSESSED, who got back on the scoreboard at Wolverhampton last month and remains fairly treated. Pannonica and It's Showtime rate the principal dangers.

Marco Botti's SO OBSESSED looked to have a bit up her sleeve when going in at Wolverhampton so she gets the vote from It's Showtime
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Cinque Verde arrives on the back of a victory on the all-weather here over 6f but disappointed off today's handicap mark at Windsor the time before. She finished behind BANG ON THE BELL on that occasion and the latter is preferred, having only faded in the closing stages there and he has subsequently been dropped 2lb in the weights. The Defiant placed at Epsom recently but hasn't won on turf for some time now, while Secret Handsheikh may prove best of the rest.

SKALLYWAG BAY has done her winning on AW but went close off similar marks on turf last year and might be worth siding with back in a Class 5. Bang On The Bell wasn't seen to best effect under a change of tactics last time and is second choice ahead of Nogo's Dream.

On the back of a solid effort, SECRET HANDSHEIKH (nap) is preferred. Faustus and Skallywag Bay tie in with the selection.

DIAMOND DREAMER has won three of his last five outings since blinkers were applied. He's taken to continue his good progress back on the turf and confirm earlier running with Nordic Glory, despite the worse terms. Profit And Loss arrives on the back of a couple of placed efforts at Kempton and can figure, while Miss Moonshine has done all her winning on the all-weather so far.

A former C&D winner, PABLO DEL PUEBLO failed to justify support on the polytrack here 2 weeks ago but he's well drawn to make full use of forcing tactics back on turf and could be worth chancing having slipped plenty in the weights. Diamond Dreamer has improved in blinkers on AW and is feared if translating that form back to turf. Profit And Loss and Arlecchino's Gift are others to consider.

George Baker's new recruit PROFIT AND LOSS has made a promising start for the yard and he can go one better than when second at Kempton

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.
