12:50 Newbury (Class 1) 12f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Courage Mon Ami returns from 21 months off, but he is already a Group 1 winner after taking the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot in 2023. He cannot be easily dismissed, although the drop in trip may not be in his favour. AL AASY got up late to land the Gordon Richards over 1m2f at Sandown on his return and the eight-year-old, who won this in 2021, has every chance again, despite his advancing years. King's Gambit is another to consider if the first-time blinkers bring about any improvement.

Four-time course winner AL AASY arrives on the back of a Group 3 win at Sandown and is taken to defy a 3lb penalty.

13:25 Newbury (Class 1) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Symbol Of Honour found the seventh furlong beyond him at Newmarket, but he is three from four over this trip and is not easily overlooked. Ides Of March was second to the classy Whistlejacket at Navan and he could be the biggest danger to DEFENCE MINISTER. The Too Darn Hot colt lost his unbeaten record when pulling too hard in the Middle Park on soft ground last autumn but he can get back to winning ways if he settles, with the quicker surface a bonus.

The one to beat is Aidan O'Brien's IDES OF MARCH who showed he'd trained on well when second to a smart stablemate at Navan.

14:00 Newbury (Class 2) 10f Race Class Flow

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

The Charltons have won four of the last nine renewals of this race, suggesting Wave Rider could go well on his handicap debut, with a first-time hood an interesting addition. GENEALOGY still holds Group 1 entries and with the form of his sixth to Delacroix at Newmarket boosted by the winner scoring twice since to become a leading Derby contender, he is hard to oppose off a mark of 96 for Aidan O'Brien and Ryan Moore, who can do little wrong at present. Ernst Blofeld and Lightening Mann are others to at least consider.

This major 3yo handicap looks a particularly suitable next step for SADDADD, who is first choice ahead of Wave Rider.

14:35 Newbury (Class 1) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

The stage is set for a third clash between last year's English and Irish 2000 Guineas winners Notable Speech and ROSALLION. The former was the ready winner of the Newmarket showpiece and having later enjoyed Group 1 glory in the Sussex Stakes at Goodwood, his credentials are straight from the top drawer. However, Rosallion went from strength to strength after the HQ clash, with a memorable Classic win at the Curragh three weeks later. The son of Blue Point went on to emphatically turn the tables on Notable Speech (seventh) when he tenaciously landed the St James's Palace at Royal Ascot. Richard Hannon's colt is simply too hard to ignore. The hat-trick seeking Dancing Gemini is not to be underestimated, while the fillies Tamfana and Fallen Angel could also lay claim to some place money.

First choice is DANCING GEMINI, ahead of Tamfana, Rosallion and Notable Speech in a cracking Lockinge.

15:10 Newbury (Class 1) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Anything representing Aidan O'Brien is noteworthy at present and the class-dropping Ecstatic is no exception, despite her no-show on soft ground in a Group 3 at Navan last month. A quicker surface could spark a revival, while Winter's Song, Revoir and Sand Gazelle are all potential improvers, but the vote goes to WONDER STAR. The daughter of Sea The Stars firmly enhanced her reputation with an assertive display in breaking her maiden at Ascot last week and looks a very bright prospect.

Most of the runners can be viewed positively, particularly the Beckett fillies REVOIR and Likealot who both bring potential.

15:45 Newbury (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Having won both starts since being gelded, Completely Random is at the top of his game and has a decent chance of completing a hat-trick. However, he has another 6lb rise to cope with after his Leicester success and a personal best is required again. With that in mind, the consistent ARAMRAM could be the way to go, as he seems unaffected by creeping up the weights. Richard Hannon's colt can gain compensation for several near-misses in some deep sprints. Run Boy Run and Rosario are other strong contenders.

Aramram is solid to go well again but this may lie between Elmonjed and COMPLETELY RANDOM who impressed at Leicester last time.

16:20 Newbury (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow

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

MY CLOUD made a strong impression when scoring on his handicap debut at Ascot last month and even a 10lb rise might prove to be on the lenient side. Roger Varian's four-year-old could have lots more to offer and can continue his rise through the ranks. Ebt's Guard accounted for Classic (third) when victorious in the Spring Cup here two starts ago and can confirm that form to have a say. Of the remainder, Witch Hunter makes the most appeal.

There should be plenty of further progress to come from the well-bred MY CLOUD (nap), who is first choice ahead of Ancient Rome.

16:55 Newbury (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Nakeeb got off the mark at the third time of asking at Doncaster earlier in the month and now makes his handicap debut off a possibly workable mark of 86. However, REGALIAN looks the more appealing option. William Haggas' three-year-old struck on his debut at Newcastle prior to finishing a respectable third under a penalty at Southwell. With the likelihood of more to come, the now-gelded son of Kingman can score. Solar Army is another to consider.

A competitive handicap. NAKEEB has progressed with each start and he seems to be well regarded by his top stable.

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.
