17:30 Newbury Handicap (Class 5) 11f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	10 1st (10) (3.33/1 +45%) Mrembo	3.33 3.33/1(+45%)	(10) Mrembo 3.33/1, Just the one win from 15 starts but lightly raced at this trip and she ran up to her best when fourth in 13-runner handicap at Windsor (11.5f) 3 weeks ago, no extra final 50 yds. Another not ruled out. 1lb above sole winning mark and ran well when fourth at Windsor last time; respected.
2	3 2nd (3) (7.5/1 -88%) Lucky's Dream	7.5 7.5/1(-88%)	(3) Lucky's Dream 7.5/1, Prolific winner on AW who proved he retains ability on back of lengthy absence/wind op when third in 4-runner Salisbury handicap (12f) 2 weeks ago. Very well treated if able to build on that. Made a fair return from a mammoth absence last time; claims if this doesn't come too soon.
3	6 3rd (6) (9/1 +64%) Charlie Arthur	9 9/1(+64%)	(6) Charlie Arthur 9/1, Tasted success twice last year, latterly at Thirsk (12f) in May and made the frame from inflated marks on turf/AW 3 times thereafter. Feasible to think first start for 9 months was needed at Southwell (12f) 14 days ago and much lower mark to operate from back on turf. Just 1lb higher than for sole turf success and should be all the better for recent return.
4	5 4th (5) (7.5/1 +46%) Rolypolymoly	7.5 7.5/1(+46%)	(5) Rolypolymoly 7.5/1, Maiden on the Flat but did managed to bag pair of juvenile hurdles at Uttoxeter/Worcester last summer. Disappointed on final start in that sphere at Chepstow in the autumn and others appeal more on balance back from 8 months off. Off nine months, but if returning near his best he would have a chance off this mark.
5th	2 5th (2) (8.5/1 -143%) Mawkeb	8.5 8.5/1(-143%)	(2) Mawkeb 8.5/1, Dual 1m winner at Chelmsford who dispelled a lesser run at Beverley when third at Nottingham (10.2f) earlier this month. Mark has eased a little more and possibilities if seeing out the longer trip. Both wins have come on AW; lightly raced on turf but a fair third at Nottingham last time.
6th	7 6th (7) (5/1 +44%) Thunder Flash	5 5/1(+44%)	(7) Thunder Flash 5/1, Successful twice during a consistent spell on the Flat last summer. Went the wrong way in trio of maiden/novice hurdle starts but best excused his reappearance run at Doncaster (11.9f) in May slipping on bend and losing action. Better anticipated with cheekpieces back on. Won twice on the Flat last summer, but still 4lb higher than for the latest so more needed.
7th	1 7th (1) (11/1 +67%) Delphi Dreamer	11 11/1(+67%)	(1) Delphi Dreamer 11/1, Fair form in trio of AW novice events during the winter but easy to back and possibly needed the run on return/handicap debut at Yarmouth (10f) in May. Needs to show benefit of that run if he's to figure here up in trip. Failed to beat a rival on turf/handicap debut at Yarmouth last month; enough to prove.
8th	4 8th (4) (50/1 -127%) Shabano	50 50/1(-127%)	(4) Shabano 50/1, Fair maiden on Flat (up to 1¼m) for Ed Walker. Raced freely/jumped none too fluently when well held sixth of 7 on yard/hurdles bow at Huntingdon (15.8f) in May and market may prove the best guide returned to the level. Eyeshields added. Maiden who has shown some ability for other yards; even more headgear today.
9th	8 9th (8) (3.2/1 +29%) Bobby Kennedy	3.2 3.2/1(+29%)	(8) Bobby Kennedy 3.2/1, Returned to form back from 5 months off when second in 14-runner Bath handicap (11.6f) in April. Proved too free and never figured at Leicester (11.8f) on latest outing 4 weeks ago and his record is a patchy one overall. Didn't build on a promising reappearance in April; probably prefers it softer.

LTO Selection:

17:30 Newbury Handicap (Class 5) 11f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

MAWKEB offered more encouragement when staying on into third over 1m2f at Nottingham and a 2lb drop in the ratings combined with a stiffer test may be enough to see Mick Appleby's gelding return to winning ways. Trojan Truth was somewhat underwhelming at the same venue a few days later, but he would hold leading claims on previous form and it's too soon to be writing him off. Mrembo could have a say too.

LUCKY'S DREAM confirmed he retains ability on the back of a lengthy absence when finishing a close-up third at Salisbury recently, that despite not being seen to best effect off a steady gallop. Potentially very well handicapped, he could be worth chancing to build on that here. Charlie Arthur, third in this race 12 months ago, should be sharper for his Southwell reappearance and is feared, with Trojan Truth and Mrembo also worth a look.

The vote goes to MREMBO who was a close fourth in a big field at Windsor last time and has been dropped another 1lb since.

18:05 Newbury Stakes (Class 4) 6f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	9 1st (9) (12/1 +0%) Woodhay Wonder	12 12/1(+0%)	(9) Woodhay Wonder 12/1, 26,000 gns yearling, Tamayuz filly. Half-sister to winner up to 1m Nuvolari. Dam 7f-8.6f winner out of US Grade 2 11f winner Sauvage. Green when seventh of 10 in maiden (100/1) at Kempton (6f) on debut 20 days ago. Around 3l behind Delicacy on last month's Kempton debut; needs to show improvement.
2	6 2nd (6) (11/1 +21%) Queen Of Atlantis	11 11/1(+21%)	(6) Queen Of Atlantis 11/1, Foaled February 27. £20,000 yearling, 40,000 gns 2-y-o, Advertise filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful 1m winner I'vegotthepower and 7f/7.6f winner Makinitup. Dam winner up to 6f (2-y-o 5f winner). Enough to like on pedigree; respected, especially if market positive.
3	2 3rd (2) (4.5/1 -13%) Bint Havana Grey	4.5 4.5/1(-13%)	(2) Bint Havana Grey 4.5/1, Foaled February 25. £48,000 yearling, Havana Grey filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 7f winner Perfect Pursuit and 6f winner Perfect Venture. Dam lightly raced. Booking of Buick catches the eye. Others make more appeal on pedigree; still worth a market check.
4	12 4th (12) (3/1 +54%) Rogue Rosie	3 3/1(+54%)	(12) Rogue Rosie 3/1, Foaled March 2. 16,000 gns yearling, Magna Grecia filly. Dam, maiden (stayed 9.5f), half-sister to high-class 1¼m-1¾m (St Leger) winner Sixties Icon out of very smart 1¼m-1½m winner Love Divine. Bred to need further but has an appealing pedigree and stable can get one ready first time.
5th	14 5th (14) (14/1 +79%) Whiteley Way	14 14/1(+79%)	(14) Whiteley Way 14/1, Sixties Icon filly. Sister to 2-y-o 5.7f winner Bluebell Way. Dam, winner up to 7f (2-y-o 6f winner), sister to smart 6f winner Divine out of useful 6f winner Carallia. Eighth of 15 in maiden at this C&D (firm, 33/1) on debut 20 days ago, ran green and left behind soon after. Midfield on her debut over C&D this month; needs to step up.
6th	3 6th (3) (3.33/1 -48%) Delicacy	3.33 3.33/1(-48%)	(3) Delicacy 3.33/1, €25,000 foal, €14,000 yearling, £58,000 2-y-o, Saxon Warrior filly. Half-sister to 5f winner Victors Lady. Dam unraced half-sister to very smart winner up to 6f Inxile. 25/1, showed plenty when fifth of 10 in maiden at Kempton (6f) 20 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Should have more to offer. Not beaten far when fifth on her Kempton debut; better can be expected.
7th	5 7th (5) (25/1 +24%) Love Yours	25 25/1(+24%)	(5) Love Yours 25/1, 55,000 gns yearling, Invincible Spirit filly. Dam unraced out of smart winner up to 1m (2-y-o 1m winner) (stayed 1¼m) Hot Snap. Unpromising start when sixth of 7 in novice event (14/1) at Salisbury (6f, firm) 14 days ago, slowly away. Well beaten on her Salisbury debut; much more needed.
8th	1 8th (1) (5/1 -25%) Crooked Crown	5 5/1(-25%)	(1) Crooked Crown 5/1, Cable Bay filly who left her debut form well behind when second in maiden at Haydock and showed a little bit of improvement when going one better in similar event at Chepstow. May prove vulnerable under a penalty, however. Off the mark at Chepstow last time; carries a penalty but still respected.
9th	7 9th (7) (25/1 -317%) Shirlaski	25 25/1(-317%)	(7) Shirlaski 25/1, Modest form both starts in maidens, seventh of 10 at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Debut form has worked out very well but she was disappointing last time; cheekpieces on.
10th	13 10th (13) (33/1 +34%) Timely Chance	33 33/1(+34%)	(13) Timely Chance 33/1, Foaled February 6. 12,000 gns foal, 11,000 gns yearling, Time Test filly. Closely related to winner up to 6f Apollinaire. Dam maiden (stayed 1¼m). Winning 2yos newcomers from the stable are rare..
11th	10 11th (10) (66/1 +18%) Dainty Lady	66 66/1(+18%)	(10) Dainty Lady 66/1, Yet to show anything of note and looks set for another struggle. Beaten upwards of 12l in three starts; makes little appeal.
12th	4 12th (4) (50/1 -52%) Glamorous Joy	50 50/1(-52%)	(4) Glamorous Joy 50/1, Foaled May 6. Land Force filly. Dam 5f winner out of useful winner up to 5f (including at 2 yrs) Glamorous Spirit. Speedily bred, but stable not known for winning 2yo newcomers.

LTO Selection:

18:05 Newbury Stakes (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

DELICACY only gave way inside the final furlong when fifth on her debut at Kempton and Richard Hannon's filly could put that experience to good use to gain a breakthrough success. Crooked Crown won with something in hand at Chepstow and she isn't taken lightly, despite conceding weight all round. Woodhay Wonder wasn't that far behind the selection on her introduction and is another to consider.

DELICACY was unfancied in the betting but showed plenty to work on when fifth in a Kempton maiden and can put that experience to good use. Bint Havana Grey looks an interesting newcomer with the champion jockey booked, so may emerge as the biggest threat ahead of the penalised Crooked Crown, who won a weak maiden at Chepstow.

Preference is for DELICACY who probably did well to finish as close as she did on her Kempton debut given she was sent off 25-1.

18:40 Newbury Stakes (Class 4) 7f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (5.5/1 -83%) Shuwari	5.5 5.5/1(-83%)	(5) Shuwari 5.5/1, Foaled March 6. 80,000 gns yearling, New Bay filly. Half-sister to useful 1¼m winner True Scarlet and 2-y-o 7f winner Elusive Artist. Dam winner up to 1¼m (2-y-o 8.3f winner). Something to like on pedigree, but this looks a stiff task on debut.
2	3 2nd (3) (1.1/1 +45%) Lady Of Leisure	1.1 1.1/1(+45%)	(3) Lady Of Leisure 1.1/1, 115,000 gns yearling, Masar filly. Dam, winner up to 8.6f (2-y-o 1m winner), half-sister to smart 1¼m winner Crystal Pegasus. Promising second of 7 in novice event at Haydock (7f, good to firm, 9/2) on debut 32 days ago. Form pick and may well do better. Runner-up on her Haydock debut and third has won since; respected.
3	1 3rd (1) (1.88/1 +25%) Pink Satin	1.88 1.88/1(+25%)	(1) Pink Satin 1.88/1, Churchill filly. Closely related to smart winner up to 1½m Highland Chief (won first time up) and half-sister to 3 winners, including winner up to 1¾m Tartan Chief and 1¼m winner African. 11/1, won 11-runner novice at Windsor (6f, good to soft) on debut 15 days ago. Open to improvement. Won nicely on her Windsor debut and is a major player despite the penalty.
4	2 4th (2) (8.5/1 -89%) Balletic	8.5 8.5/1(-89%)	(2) Balletic 8.5/1, Foaled April 8. 100,000 gns yearling, Masar filly. Closely related to 1m-10.7f winner Approach The City and half-sister to useful winner up to 8.6f Laieth and smart winner up to 1m Midtown. Dam winner up to 1m (2-y-o 6f winner). Interesting newcomer. Takes on rivals who have already shown ability, but attractively bred; market revealing.
5th	4 5th (4) (25/1 +0%) Legal Beat	25 25/1(+0%)	(4) Legal Beat 25/1, €4,500 yearling, Inns of Court filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including 1m winner Shanghai Dragon and 2-y-o 7f/1m winner Eyelool. 125/1, third of 15 in a weak maiden at this course (6f, firm) on debut 20 days ago, well drawn. Third at a huge price on her debut here, but plenty more will still be needed.

LTO Selection:

18:40 Newbury Stakes (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Pink Satin made the perfect start to her career when triumphing at Windsor and the daughter of Churchill must warrant consideration. She may, however, struggle to concede 6lb to LADY OF LEISURE. Andrew Balding's filly posted a second-placed finish on her debut at Haydock and is taken to build on that. Newcomer Balletic is a potential fly in the ointment and any market support is worth noting.

LADY OF LEISURE made a promising start when runner-up at Haydock and the 6 lb she receives from penalised-winner Pink Satin may prove decisive. Balletic is bred to be smart so is a newcomer to note.

This can go to PINK SATIN who looked a nice prospect when winning on her Windsor debut and she should relish this extra furlong.

19:15 Newbury Handicap (Class 4) 12f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (2.25/1 +44%) Splendent	2.25 2.25/1(+44%)	(1) Splendent 2.25/1, Scored at Windsor and improved further when third at York (11.8f) later in May. Shaped as if still in top form upped to 14f when fading fifth at Nottingham last time so needs considering back in trip with cheekpieces on for 1st time. Held over 1m6f last time, but previous effort over 1m4f could hardly be working out better.
2	5 2nd (5) (5/1 +29%) Obsidian Knight	5 5/1(+29%)	(5) Obsidian Knight 5/1, Notched a third success at Lingfield in January and has remained in good order, fifth of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (12f, soft) 52 days ago. Possibilities. Three wins on the AW, but modest in three attempts on turf; not hard to have reservations.
3	7 3rd (7) (4/1 -33%) Latin Verse	4 4/1(-33%)	(7) Latin Verse 4/1, Got off the mark at Lingfield in February. Blinkered for 1st time when good seventh of 11 in handicap at York (11.8f, firm) 40 days ago. Holds very good claims off a 2 lb lower mark. Out of the frame in both handicaps; still to prove that 1m4f on a galloping track is ideal.
4	4 4th (4) (7.5/1 -15%) Noble Masquerade	7.5 7.5/1(-15%)	(4) Noble Masquerade 7.5/1, Arrives in good nick, third of 6 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Needs considering once more eased 1 lb. Running well lately and a player if fast ground prevails.
5th	2 5th (2) (7.5/1 -88%) Vaynor	7.5 7.5/1(-88%)	(2) Vaynor 7.5/1, Enjoyed a productive campaign in 2022, recording his fourth success at Chelmsford (13.3f) in November. Posted a good third of 10 in handicap at Goodwood (14f, good to firm) 11 days ago so he's in the mix. Four wins last year and ran well on second start back but this may be an insufficient test.
6th	3 6th (3) (5/1 +9%) Greystoke	5 5/1(+9%)	(3) Greystoke 5/1, Reliable sort who landed 12f handicap at Chester in May. Not discredited after a poor start when sixth of 10 there 31 days ago. One for the shortlist. Won well at Chester last month, but held off this mark back there next time.
7th	6 7th (6) (14/1 +0%) Millions Memories	14 14/1(+0%)	(6) Millions Memories 14/1, Got back on track when landing 4-runner handicap at Salisbury (12f, firm) 14 days ago. Up 3 lb but he can't be discounted. Beat three rivals at Salisbury last time; lack of consistency a bigger worry than 3lb rise.

LTO Selection:

19:15 Newbury Handicap (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

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

VAYNOR may well be at his best over further but his most recent effort for third at Goodwood was highly encouraging and conditions should be in his favour as he looks to bounce back to winning ways. Millions Memories did it well at Salisbury last time out and he can give the selection the most to think about, although the usually consistent Greystoke can't be dismissed lightly.

None of these can be ruled out but LATIN VERSE is able to race off a 2 lb lower mark than when a good close seventh at York last time and can take full advantage. Vaynor is a consistent sort and seems sure to have a say on the back of his good Goodwood third along with Splendent, who should benefit from reverting in trip.

The choice is SPLENDENT who was held over 1m6f last time, but his previous third over 1m4f at York could hardly be working out better.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (2.5/1 +25%) Aurora Dawn	2.5 2.5/1(+25%)	(1) Aurora Dawn 2.5/1, Got off the mark at Newmarket in May but failed to land the odds when second of 9 in handicap at Haydock (8f, good to firm) 32 days ago. More is needed off a 4 lb higher mark 3now. Turned over at odds on last time, but the return to a straight 7f might suit.
2	5 2nd (5) (8.5/1 +29%) Ajjaj	8.5 8.5/1(+29%)	(5) Ajjaj 8.5/1, Kickstarted 2023 with 7f Kempton maiden win in May and posted a good fourth of 10 in handicap there 20 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up off a 2 lb lower mark. Won a Kempton maiden on return and has run well in both handicaps since; each-way claims.
3	9 3rd (9) (11/1 +31%) Overnight Oats	11 11/1(+31%)	(9) Overnight Oats 11/1, Consistent sort who went freely when turning in a rare poor effort at Sandown (7f, good) 11 days ago. Hood on for 1st time now. 0-10 and failed to beat a rival stepped up to 7f last time; hood on.
4	7 4th (7) (10/1 -33%) Big R	10 10/1(-33%)	(7) Big R 10/1, Fair maiden who saw his run of good form come to an end when only sixth of 8 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Sort to bounce back. Promising in his first two starts after returning, but took a step backwards last time.
5th	6 5th (6) (25/1 -56%) Puffable	25 25/1(-56%)	(6) Puffable 25/1, Fair 5f winner for Ralph Beckett at 2yrs. Hooded and got right back on track for her new yard when third of 4 in handicap at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago, forced to switch 1f out. Firmly in the picture. Not beaten far on stable debut and should stay 7f, but didn't look an easy ride last time.
6th	3 6th (3) (5.5/1 -22%) Saturnalia	5.5 5.5/1(-22%)	(3) Saturnalia 5.5/1, Won 7f Wolverhampton novice in January but below his best on last two starts, dropped to 6f when ffifth of 7 here 20 days ago. Can do better now back at 7f. Excuses for last two defeats; could go well back up a furlong and granted a clear passage.
7th	10 7th (10) (25/1 -108%) Jimmy Lifestyle	25 25/1(-108%)	(10) Jimmy Lifestyle 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden who posted his best effort on his handiap debut when fourth of 9 at Salisbury (6f, firm) 14 days ago. Shortlisted off a 2 lb lower mark. Only beaten just over 2l on recent turf/handicap debut, but he may need softer ground.
8th	2 8th (2) (33/1 -32%) Chindwin	33 33/1(-32%)	(2) Chindwin 33/1, Cost plenty as a yearling but she failed to pull up any trees in a handful of appearances in 2022, and then failed to beat a rival home when returning to action in a Goodwood handicap last month. Well beaten the last twice including on return/handicap debut; look elsewhere.
9th	4 9th (4) (2.25/1 +10%) Dream Of Mischief	2.25 2.25/1(+10%)	(4) Dream Of Mischief 2.25/1, Fair 7f winner at 2yrs who comes here on the back of an unlcky second of 7 in handicap at Goodwood (8f, good to firm) 11 days ago, not clear run from 3f out. Can gain compensation nudged up 1 lb. Probably would have won at Goodwood last time with a clearer run; much respected.
10th	8 10th (8) (22/1 -22%) The Toff	22 22/1(-22%)	(8) The Toff 22/1, Gained his breakthrough success at Lingfield (7f, AW) in May but has been in and out since, only seventh of 10 in handicap at Haydock (7f, firm) 13 days ago. Others appeal more. Ran well on penultimate start, but moderate either side and relatively exposed.

LTO Selection:

19:50 Newbury Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

AURORA DAWN has done very well since switching to the turf and dropping back in trip should suit, having gone close at Haydock over a mile last month. The daughter of Awtaad still looks to be on a workable mark and she is narrowly preferred to Dream Of Mischief, who bounced back to form with a promising second at Goodwood. Big R and Saturnalia are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

DREAM OF MISCHIEF looked an unlcuky loser when runner-up at Goodwood last time and can make amends off just a 1 lb higher mark. Puffable made a promising start for Alice Haynes when third at the same track and rates a big threat eased 1 lb. Jimmy Lifestyle is another who has been lowered in the weights and can have a say in an open handicap.

This can go to DREAM OF MISCHIEF (nap) who was unlucky not to win at Goodwood 11 days ago. He can gain compensation off 1lb higher.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
6	6 (6) (5.5/1 -38%) Ring Of Light	5.5 5.5/1(-38%)	(6) Ring Of Light 5.5/1, Improved when runner-up on handicap debut at Newmarket last summer and winner of 7f/1m AW handicaps on final 3 starts of 2022. Nudged up just 2 lb for latest success and this lightly-raced 5-y-o will be a danger to all if fully tuned-up following a break. Completed an AW hat-trick last autumn, but has to prove himself back on turf; off 230 days.
1	3 1st (3) (12/1 -60%) Secret Strength	12 12/1(-60%)	(3) Secret Strength 12/1, Modest strike rate (2-29) but arrives here on the back of a couple of creditable efforts in defeat, most notably when fourth in a 12-runner Class 2 handicap at Epsom (7f, good to firm) last time. Needs considering back down in class off a 1 lb lower mark. Signs of encouragement in his last two starts; each-way claims down another 1lb.
2	7 2nd (7) (22/1 +0%) Night Arc	22 22/1(+0%)	(7) Night Arc 22/1, Improved when landing a 1¼m Leicester handicap on the second of just 2 appearances last season. Below that level both starts since returning from a 12-month absence but likely to be closer to concert pitch now and this drop back in trip may not be a bad thing. Showed more on his second start back from a lengthy absence, but drops 3f in trip.
3	9 3rd (9) (16/1 +0%) King Of The Dance	16 16/1(+0%)	(9) King Of The Dance 16/1, Low-mileage 4-y-o who stepped up on previous exploits when good second in a 1m Kempton handicap last August. Failed to build on that when reappearing over C&D recently but that run was probably needed and he shaped well sole start on turf as a juvenile. Just beaten at Kempton last August; probably needed recent return back there; unexposed.
4	11 4th (11) (8/1 -33%) Al Motasim	8 8/1(-33%)	(11) Al Motasim 8/1, Showed ability in 3 starts at 2 yrs and improved when runner-up on return/debut for new yard at Haydock (7f, good) where he was just ahead of Starlight Nation. Not in the same form at Goodwood since but now tried in cheekpieces and probably worth another chance. Just beaten on his Haydock return, but disappointing at Goodwood last time; cheekpieces on.
5th	2 5th (2) (9/1 +36%) Bastogne	9 9/1(+36%)	(2) Bastogne 9/1, Yet to add to 2-y-o maiden success and while he resumed with a creditable third of 8 off this mark on debut for new yard at Chepstow (7f, good to firm), others make more appeal from a win point of view. Third on stable debut after a year off at Chepstow this month; player if coming on for it.
6th	12 6th (12) (2.75/1 +45%) Wadi Bani	2.75 2.75/1(+45%)	(12) Wadi Bani 2.75/1, Remains winless following 10 attempts but ought to put that right before long having made the frame on 4 of his 5 starts since returning to action in March. Latest second at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) was a creditable effort and he shouldn't be far away. Second at Doncaster last time and would have gone closer with a clear run; each-way claims.
7th	1 7th (1) (4.5/1 +44%) Capote's Dream	4.5 4.5/1(+44%)	(1) Capote's Dream 4.5/1, Prolific in 2021 but failed to add to his tally in handicaps last year. However, he has made the frame on 3 of his 4 starts this time round, including over 6f here (firm) recently, and this step back up in trip may well work in his favour. Down in grade, but still to prove he stays this far and unraced on ground faster than good.
8th	8 8th (8) (50/1 -25%) Plumette	50 50/1(-25%)	(8) Plumette 50/1, Successful twice on the AW for David Loughnane since the turn of the year but well below par last time (albeit she was left poorly placed) and hasn't won on turf for over 4 years. Last five wins on the AW, but has won twice on turf; stable debut.
9th	10 9th (10) (6/1 -50%) Starlight Nation	6 6/1(-50%)	(10) Starlight Nation 6/1, Gradual progress since switched to handicaps, off the mark at Leicester (7f, good) 3 weeks ago. 3 lb rise is unlikely to debar another bold show with Tom Marquand again in the hot-seat. Only his second start on turf when winning at Leicester three weeks ago; respected up 3lb.
10th	5 10th (5) (50/1 -213%) Lunar Space	50 50/1(-213%)	(5) Lunar Space 50/1, Listed winner at the Curragh for Jim Bolger in April 2021 but hasn't shown anything like that level of form since. Hard to recommend, for all that he continues to fall down the weights and is dropping to 0-75 company for the first time. Well beaten all six starts since debuting for this yard last summer; best watched for now.
11th	4 11th (4) (18/1 +28%) Unsung Hero	18 18/1(+28%)	(4) Unsung Hero 18/1, Back-to-back winner at Kempton last September but well held final 2 starts of 2022 and likely to need this following a 6-month absence. Tongue strap applied. Both wins from the front on the Kempton AW last September; may need the run; tongue-tie on.

LTO Selection:

20:25 Newbury Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Ring of Light completed an all-weather hat-trick last autumn, but he is yet to win on the grass and may have to chase home WADI BANI here. Seamus Durack's three-year-old ran on into second at Doncaster after finding himself short of room and, barring similar mishaps, he can go one better. Al Motasim could be of interest in first-time cheekpieces, with Starlight Nation also in the reckoning.

Having performed with plenty of credit in a higher-grade handicap on Oaks day at Epsom, SECRET STRENGTH could be the answer to this competitive and open-looking contest. Starlight Nation has improved with each of his three starts since tackling handicaps and is feared greatly on the back of his Leicester success. Al Motasim failed to make an impact at Goodwood but remains of interest in view of his reappearance effort at Haydock, while Capote's Dream and Ring of Light are also shortlisted.

The vote goes to STARLIGHT NATION who was having his second start on turf when winning at Leicester last time and can defy a 3lb rise.

21:00 Newbury Handicap (Class 5) 6f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (4/1 -14%) Hurt You Never	4 4/1(-14%)	(6) Hurt You Never 4/1, At the top of her game, completing the hat-trick with bit to spare in handicap at Hamilton (6f, firm, 11/4) 13 days ago. 7 lb higher now but another bold bid is on the cards. Bids for a four-timer off 7lb higher in a better race but folly to dismiss in current mood.
2	4 2nd (4) (3.5/1 +13%) Rich Rhythm	3.5 3.5/1(+13%)	(4) Rich Rhythm 3.5/1, Shaped well when fourth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 20 days ago, left poorly placed. Still relatively unexposed and must enter calculations. Has caught the eye with his finishing efforts the last twice; interesting.
3	5 3rd (5) (5.5/1 +21%) De Bruyne	5.5 5.5/1(+21%)	(5) De Bruyne 5.5/1, Ended 2022 with victory in 6f Newcastle novice in December and far from disgraced in both outings this year, latest when seventh of 11 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good to firm) 31 days ago, worst of draw. Blinkers now tried for first time. Needs to improve on his efforts in turf handicaps since returning last month; blinkers on.
4	8 4th (8) (7.5/1 +6%) Jax Edge	7.5 7.5/1(+6%)	(8) Jax Edge 7.5/1, Resumed progress when winning 5-runner handicap at Chepstow (5.1f, good to firm, 15/8) 17 days ago, staying on to lead final 50 yds. This is more competitive but she warrants plenty of respect. Has won two of last three starts and latest win since boosted; 6lb higher but respected.
5th	2 5th (2) (9/1 +55%) Sarah's Verse	9 9/1(+55%)	(2) Sarah's Verse 9/1, Having dropped below her last winning mark, bounced back to form when recording a fourth course success at Bath (5f) in April, albeit having a perfect trip along the inside rail. Not been in same form since, though. Successful the last time she tackled a 0-70; not discounted.
6th	1 6th (1) (14/1 +30%) Prince Of Bel Lir	14 14/1(+30%)	(1) Prince Of Bel Lir 14/1, Three-time scorer last term but yet to fire this season. Now 9 lb below last winning mark but remains hard to recommend. Form has regressed lately; 9lb below last winning mark, but best watched for now.
7th	3 7th (3) (6.5/1 +28%) The Princes Poet	6.5 6.5/1(+28%)	(3) The Princes Poet 6.5/1, Back to winning ways at Brighton (6f) earlier this month and had excuses (missed the break) when below that level at Goodwood since. Not out of things. Won at Brighton last month and blindfold removed late at Goodwood last time; not dismissed.
8th	7 8th (7) (12/1 +0%) Due Date	12 12/1(+0%)	(7) Due Date 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden who wasn't seen to best effect (poorly drawn) when eighth of 11 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Better showing anticipated with cheekpieces now enlisted. Progressive on the AW but well held on turf debut; cheekpieces on.
9th	11 9th (11) (28/1 -75%) Katar	28 28/1(-75%)	(11) Katar 28/1, Returned to form, on debut for new yard, when close second of 9 in handicap at Salisbury (6f, firm) 14 days ago. Entitled to build on that and is just 1 lb higher now. Tongue strap on first time. 0-10 but was only just caught on stable debut at Salisbury a fortnight ago; tongue-tie on.
10th	9 10th (9) (9/1 -100%) Ignac Lamar	9 9/1(-100%)	(9) Ignac Lamar 9/1, Bounced back to form when good third of 7 in handicap at Leicester (7f, good) 21 days ago. Others look better treated, though. Tongue strap back on. May be better on the AW and is quite exposed for a 3yo after 19 starts.
11th	10 11th (10) (22/1 -38%) Papabella	22 22/1(-38%)	(10) Papabella 22/1, Thrice-raced maiden. No signs of improvement when seventh of 12 in minor event at Windsor (6f, good to firm) on return earlier this month and something to prove on handicap debut. A small amount of ability in three sprint novices; improvement needed on handicap debut.

LTO Selection:

21:00 Newbury Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Trainer Rod Millman won this last year and Oisin Murphy keeps his partnership with Ignac Lamar intact after their Leicester third, while Hurt You Never has won three on the bounce and warrants plenty of respect, despite an added 7lb and a rise in class. JAX EDGE appeared to have plenty in hand when scoring at Chepstow, though, and a 6lb hike may not stop her from following up.

HURT YOU NEVER is very much a filly in form and is taken to defy a 7 lb rise in the handicap for her latest success. Jax Edge and Rich Rhythm head the list of dangers.

Preference is for RICH RHYTHM especially if the ground remains fast. He has caught the eye with his finishing effort the last twice.

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.
