1	8 1st (8) (1.38/1 +54%) Kyle Of Lochalsh		1.38 1.38/1(+54%)																															(8) Kyle Of Lochalsh 1.38/1, Making his handicap debut after 5 months off, matched the pick of his 2-y-o form when fourth at Windsor (11.4f) in May, despite not being ideally placed in a steadily-run race. Could be ready to open his account with tongue strap on first time. Now tongue tied; surely has more to offer and pedigree boosts interest at today's trip.
2	9 2nd (9) (6/1 +40%) Dancing Cloud		6 6/1(+40%)																															(9) Dancing Cloud 6/1, Ran to a fair level in two starts for Joseph Patrick O'Brien last year. On his second run for current connections, left poorly placed when fourth of 7 at Newcastle (12.4f) on handicap debut a fortnight ago. Now upped further in trip. Fourth of seven on handicap debut latest (1m4f, AW); needs better but early days.
3	6 3rd (6) (18/1 -64%) Ancient Capital		18 18/1(-64%)																															(6) Ancient Capital 18/1, After 13 weeks off and upped in trip, made a winning stable debut at Ffos Las (12f) a year ago. Shaped as if still in good form when second at the same C&D the following month, but hasn't been seen on the track for 11 months since. Off since last August but has a big shout if he returns firing on all cylinders.
4	11 4th (11) (5/1 +9%) Royal Athena		5 5/1(+9%)																															(11) Royal Athena 5/1, Has shown improved form on her last two starts, winning at Lingfield (12f, AW) in June before faring best of those held up when third at the same C&D 10 days later. Could still have more to offer as she goes further up in trip. Best efforts upped to 1m4f on Lingfield AW on last two outings; not ruled out.
5th	1 5th (1) (6/1 -9%) Stonking		6 6/1(-9%)																															(1) Stonking 6/1, Progressed gradually last year, getting off the mark at the third attempt at Wolverhampton (12.2f) in November. After 7 months off, ran well on his handicap debut when runner-up at the same course (14f) in June. Can do better again with his reappearance behind him. 2nd on handicap debut (1m6f); switches to turf and could easily have more to offer.
6th	10 6th (10) (6.5/1 -18%) Greased Lightning		6.5 6.5/1(-18%)																															(10) Greased Lightning 6.5/1, Left his reappearance run well behind when second at Windsor (11.4f) in May. However, hasn't been able to build on that effort in two starts since, in first-time cheekpieces when third of 5 back at the same C&D 17 days ago. Mixed record since debut win but best run this term (three starts back) gives him a chance.
7th	5 7th (5) (18/1 -50%) Shibuya Song		18 18/1(-50%)																															(5) Shibuya Song 18/1, Winner at this course (12f) last year for Ed Walker, but below that level in two runs for her current yard this season. Retried in cheekpieces, went backwards from her reappearance when fourth of 5 at Ffos Las 18 days ago. Has work to do (headgear left off). Comfortable win here (1m4f, good) one year ago off 2lb lower; poor show 18 days ago.
8th	7 8th (7) (50/1 -100%) Estrela Star		50 50/1(-100%)																															(7) Estrela Star 50/1, Sole success on turf came at this course (10f) back in summer 2021. Scored twice at Chelmsford (both at 14f) last year, including in December, but below form also at Chelmsford when last seen in January. Lesser show in January last time; has plenty of form to make this look a competitive mark.
9th	2 9th (2) (22/1 -83%) Atalanta Breeze		22 22/1(-83%)																															(2) Atalanta Breeze 22/1, Successful at Brighton (11.9f) on her sole outing last year and has had only the three starts so far this season, producing her best effort of the year when third of 6 at Wolverhampton (14f) last time. Needs to find more again. Won her only race last term; back to that form on latest start, just behind Stonking.
10th	4 10th (4) (33/1 +0%) Systemic		33 33/1(+0%)																															(4) Systemic 33/1, Has had only one start on the Flat for his current trainer, finishing last at Goodwood (14f) in May 2022. Won a handicap hurdle at Plumpton 9 days later, but after almost a year off has been below form both outings this year. Others more persuasive back on the level. Last Flat run was in April 2022; not dismissed, as the handicapper has given him a chance.

20:20 Newbury Handicap (Class 5) 13f Race Class Flow

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

STONKING was a beaten favourite when making his handicap bow at Wolverhampton last month, finishing one place ahead of Atalanta Breeze, but Heather Main's gelding is likely to have benefited from that outing and the slight drop back in trip may also aid his cause. Kyle Of Lochalsh is open to improvement following his fourth at Windsor with a tongue-tie applied for the first time, while others to note are Royal Athena and Dancing Cloud.

KYLE OF LOCHALSH ran well on his seasonal/handicap debut when fourth at Windsor in May, despite having not been ideally placed, so he remains capable of better as he goes further up in trip. The 3-y-o can open his account in a first-time tongue strap, though Stonking also made an encouraging return and is feared most, ahead of Sharp Distinction.

Nearly all are considered seriously but the very lightly raced pair KYLE OF LOCHALSH (nap) & Stonking bring hopes for improvement.

9	9 (9) (9/1 -64%) Wadi Bani		9 9/1(-64%)																															(9) Wadi Bani 9/1, Good second at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) at the beginning of June and ran to similar level when sixth of 11 in handicap at this course (7f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Bit of work to do from this mark. Has yet to get his head in front (0-11) but he's been knocking on the door.
1	1 1st (1) (1.75/1 +47%) The Cruising Lord		1.75 1.75/1(+47%)																															(1) The Cruising Lord 1.75/1, Placed 3 all starts since joining Robyn Brisland at the start of the season, very good second of 7 in handicap at this course (7f, good to firm) 7 days ago. Shortlist material dropping back in trip with good-value claimer aboard. Saw out the 7f well here last week but won't mind reverting to sprinting.
2	3 2nd (3) (3.33/1 +33%) Libra Tiger		3.33 3.33/1(+33%)																															(3) Libra Tiger 3.33/1, Creditable runner-up efforts on his last 2 outings, bumping into a well-handicapped rival at Leicester (6f, good to firm) 26 days ago. Respected. Capable handicapper at this level but clearly has no great margin for error off this mark.
3	5 3rd (5) (6.5/1 -30%) Symbol Of Hope		6.5 6.5/1(-30%)																															(5) Symbol Of Hope 6.5/1, Returned in rude health this term, landing pair of Bath handicaps before producing 3 fine efforts in defeat, just failing when second of 10 in handicap at this course (5.2f, good to firm, 5/1) 7 days ago. Leading player again. Having a very consistent season and yet remains on a fair mark.
4	2 4th (2) (4.5/1 +36%) Sergeant Tibbs		4.5 4.5/1(+36%)																															(2) Sergeant Tibbs 4.5/1, C&D winner. Close second at Ascot in May, though has struggled on quick ground since, failing to beat a rival home over 7f here last month. Others preferred at present. Good runs for this yard over 6f and latest backward step here was over 7f.
5th	12 5th (12) (25/1 -14%) Firenze Rosa		25 25/1(-14%)																															(12) Firenze Rosa 25/1, Placed at Windsor on her first 2 outings this year but has disappointed both starts since, only ninth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 21 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Looks up against it in stronger contest than she need contest. Below par of late but still dangerous to dismiss under conditions that suit.
6th	11 6th (11) (80/1 -400%) Beauen Arrows		80 80/1(-400%)																															(11) Beauen Arrows 80/1, Placed 3 times at Kempton this season, third of 12 in minor event (10/3) there (7f) 50 days ago. Bit more required if he's to shed his maiden tag back in a handicap. Placed again last tine in a 7f novice but 0-12 and had his chances in low-grade handicaps.
7th	7 7th (7) (10/1 -25%) McCauley's Tavern		10 10/1(-25%)																															(7) McCauley's Tavern 10/1, Has lacked for consistency this term, below form when third of 5 in minor event at Hamilton (6f, good to firm, 7/2) 35 days ago. Potentially well treated if putting his best foot forward with tongue tie/refitted cheekpieces on. Now tackling his first British handicap off a reduced mark and cheekpieces return.
8th	8 8th (8) (28/1 -40%) Ben Dikduk		28 28/1(-40%)																															(8) Ben Dikduk 28/1, Went the wrong way after a promising start for William Knight. Tricky to fancy on recent efforts, but is still low mileage in handicaps and has joined good yard. Failed to build on his early promise for William Knight and sold on for 8,500gns.
9th	6 9th (6) (50/1 -25%) Endowed		50 50/1(-25%)																															(6) Endowed 50/1, Won at Epsom last season for Tony Carroll but hasn't shown much in 2 starts so far this yard, faring no better after a wind-op when seventh of 8 in handicap at Ffos Las (6f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. Underwent a third wind operation prior to a quiet debut for this yard at Ffos Las.
10th	10 10th (10) (40/1 -21%) Guiteau		40 40/1(-21%)																															(10) Guiteau 40/1, Failed to progress at 2 yrs for David Loughnane and did plenty wrong when sixth of 8 in handicap at Salisbury (8f, good to firm) 15 days ago, pulling hard and hanging right. More needed. Has failed in a major way to build on his promising debut effort at Windsor last May.
11th	4 11th (4) (11/1 -22%) Michaels Choice		11 11/1(-22%)																															(4) Michaels Choice 11/1, Again strong in the betting but never looked like meeting expectations when seventh of 8 in handicap (5/2) at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Lowest mark for some time but others are preferred. Beaten a good way out last time at Salisbury (6f) and he runs that track well.

20:50 Newbury Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

SYMBOL OF HOPE has been in fine fettle and was just denied a third victory of the season when beaten by a nose here over 5f last Thursday. The five-year-old is yet to win over 6f, but the manner of that performance suggested it is worth another try, especially being 1lb lower. McCauley's Tavern is tried in a first-time tongue-tie, with cheekpieces reapplied, which might help to make a difference, while The Cruising Lord and Libra Tiger appear best of the remainder.

THE CRUISING LORD has barely put a foot wrong since joining Robyn Brisland and is fancied to get off the mark for the season with the benefit of useful apprentice Kaiya Fraser in the saddle. Symbol of Hope has also enjoyed a fine season, holding his form well after 2 wins at Bath, and he should be bang in the mix again after going close here last week. Libra Tiger also arrives in good form and can complete the placings.

Mark Loughnane's MCCAULEY'S TAVERN might be the one now tackling his first British handicap off a reduced mark.

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.
