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

Bownder wasn't beaten far when last of four at Windsor last month and is respected. Lady Of The Isles showed more when fourth in a maiden at the same venue most recently and needs to be monitored in the betting on her handicap bow, but it may pay to side with SONIC PIONEER. The son of Massaat ran too badly to be true when sporting first-time cheekpieces (which are now removed) at Wolverhampton on his latest outing and could bounce back to score.

Sonic Pioneer is better than he was able to show last time but the unexposed LADY OF THE ISLES is marginally preferred.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Mr Writer improved on his debut effort when second at Kempton last month and as long as the colt transfers that form to turf, he could have a say. However, newcomer RULER OF TIME changed hands for 700,000 dollars and represents the in-form Charlie Appleby team. The son of Not This Time is related to plenty of winners and it would be no surprise to see him make an instant impression. Any market support behind Morbeh would be interesting.

Morbeh and RULER OF TIME are newcomers of interest and could fight this out. Mr Writer is the pick of those with experience.

Tarot's dam is a half-sister to the multiple Group 1 winner Inspiral and with Roger Varian's string in fine form at present, she needs to be monitored in the betting market. Sapphire Steps is another to keep an eye on, but SING THE BLUES looks the way to go. William Haggas' filly shaped with lots of promise when third on her introduction at Yarmouth earlier in the month and she could prove hard to beat with the benefit of that experience.

Sing The Blues sets the standard but Tarot and MOONSHINE are newcomers of some interest.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

WISE APPROACH was no match for Charles Darwin but was still a good second in the Norfolk at Royal Ascot. Charlie Appleby's colt should be difficult to beat if reproducing that level of performance, although Amorim could hardly have been more impressive when on target at Windsor and can throw down a stern challenge. First Legion disappointed in the Norfolk himself but he overturned the selection on debut and should not be overlooked.

Wise Approach has achieved the most but FIRST LEGION beat him at York and should relish the return to 6f.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

A few with chances but perhaps none more so than DANCINGWITHMYSELF, who defeated a subsequent winner at Chelmsford last time out. Michael Bell's filly is only 3lb higher and with a return to turf being no problem for her, she can follow up. Stepping up in trip worked the oracle for Goodwood-scorer Orchard Keeper. The daughter of Churchill remains open to improvement and is preferred to John and Thady Gosden's Star Of Light for the silver medal.

Half the field are last-time-out winners who need respect and preference is for one of those, ORCHARD KEEPER, ahead of Incensed.

Recent Lingfield scorer GOLDEN HANDSHAKE has another excellent chance on these terms and is expected to make a successful handicap debut. However, William Haggas' charge might not have it all his own way, as the in-form Odin Legacy is unlikely to go down without a fight. His Finest Hour kept on well to strike over 1m2f here last time and another step up in trip could unlock further improvement.

There are positives for them all but preference is for the potential of 3yo handicap newcomer GOLDEN HANDSHAKE (nap).

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.
