1st (4) Furthur (13/2 +7%)
Furthur

6.5
13/2(+7%)
(4) Furthur 13/2, Very tame effort at Newmarket last time; progressing well prior to that but needs a bit more even on his second in 14f Gr 2 (substandard race for the grade) at Ascot the time before last.
Easily best form when second in 1m6f Queen's Vase; a flop in 1m5f Newmarket Group 3 latest.

Epic Poet

3
3/1(+25%)
(3) Epic Poet 3/1, 12f shorter than ideal but should still have run better at Ascot most recent in June; needs this 13f test to be truly-run and best 2025 form makes him leading player if it is.
No show at Royal Ascot (1m4f; 25-1) but earlier 1m6f-2m efforts suggest he is major player.

Candleford

7/1(-40%)
(2) Candleford 7/1, Yard won this last year; outclassed rivals at Beverley last month for third Listed win but yet to make his Group-race breakthrough; ran to form in latest third in Gr 3 at Goodwood; claims.
Respectable, front-running third of five in Group 3 at Goodwood two weeks ago; needs more.

(5) Nightime Dancer 3/1, Stayed extra furlong and ran to very respectable Derby form (staying-on 10l eighth) when well-held second in 13f Gr 3 at Newmarket latest; only a 3yo so it's possible he can find more.
Stuck to his task well when second to a very classy winner in 1m5f Group 3 at Newmarket.

Pinhole

3/1(-50%)
(6) Pinhole 3/1, Career-best form when winning well in first-time cheekpieces in a handicap at Ascot over 12f last time; lightly-raced 3yo is a leading player back in a Gr 3 on that form.
Much improved form to win 1m4f Ascot handicap makes him look a strong contender for this.

6th (1) Ambiente Friendly (9/1 +18%)

(1) Ambiente Friendly 9/1, Second in last year's Derby and would win this on that form; has lost his way since, often pulling too hard, especially since joining this yard; needs more on latest fair fourth at Goodwood. latest; squeak
Placed in 2024 Derby and Irish Derby for James Fanshawe; shadow of that since.

13:50 Newbury (Class 1) 13f Race Class Flow

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

Epic Poet has solid claims if reproducing his second in a Group 2 at York in May. Candleford landed a Listed contest over 1m4f at Beverley last month and could also feature representing last year's winning yard, but it could pay to stick with the progressive PINHOLE. The son of Frankel built on a respectable effort in the Queen's Vase at Ascot with a facile victory back at the same track on his handicap debut and has plenty of scope for further improvement at this higher level.

All of them bring interest but this Geoffrey Freer may be decided by further improvement from the 3yos PINHOLE and Nightime Dancer.

Rhythm N Hooves

(11) Roach Power 8/1, In good form lately, last time third of 12 at Chepstow when bidding for a hat-trick after two wins last month; this demands a bit more on those three efforts, though.
Comes here in good order but easy lead unlikely & held by Faustus on last month's C&D 4th.

(4) King Of Stars 8/1, Has dropped in the weights and, after a highly satisfactory seasonal debut run at Ascot last month (albeit from good draw), this 8yo is a contender.
Good return to action when 3rd at Ascot 3 weeks ago; dangerous mark if he can build on it.

(10) Star Chorus 8/1, Back to winning ways in four-runner race at Chepstow before an excusable down-the-field latest run at Goodwood (met trouble and heavy was possibly unsuitable); worth considering.
Last at Goodwood 16 days ago but that doesn't tell the tale, as he met traffic galore.

Almaty Star

(7) Almaty Star 33/1, Bit more needed on in-the-frame efforts at Goodwood and on Chelmsford AW and was below that level at Newmarket last time; no cheekpieces now; others preferred.

Below best at York latest; hopes rest on return to 5f and ease in grade sparking revival.

14:25 Newbury (Class 3) 5f Race Class Flow

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

RHYTHM N HOOVES bounced back to something like his best when caught close home at Ascot last time. This looks less competitive and Robert Cowell's charge is taken to confirm running with King Of Stars (third). That was the latter's seasonal reappearance, so he could prove a more potent force on this occasion, while it would be no surprise if Getreadytorumble has more to offer off his current mark off the back of finishing a creditable second at Goodwood.

The 3yos Getreadytorumble and STAR CHORUS could be the pair to focus on, although last year's winner Faustus is respected.

9/1(0%)
(4) Lou Lou's Gift 9/1, Yard has won two of last 10 runnings; has run okay in Listed/Gr 3 fillies' races back from a year off this term; the return to 7f is a plus but still looks a bit high in the weights.
Progressive in 7f handicaps last summer; off for nearly a year Listed/Group races in 2025.

Jumby

7/1(-27%)
(5) Jumby 7/1, Won the 2022 Hungerford on this card but not as good nowadays; no win since 2023; sound latest third at Newmarket recently gives him a sound form chance and much respected.
As he showed at Newmarket last Saturday, he's still competitive off this mark.

7/1(+36%)
(7) Consolidation 7/1, Didn't get a clear run at Goodwood last time while 1m possibly stretched him the time before that; cheekpieces first time; 3yo is far from fully exposed and well worth considering.

Wolf Of Badenoch

(6) Wolf Of Badenoch 33/1, Probably made too much use of and 1m stamina unproven, so latest defeat at Ascot is excusable; needs to refind smart early 2yo form and others have less to prove.

15:00 Newbury (Class 2) 7f Race Class Flow

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

CLASSIC arrives at the top of his game, having landed a tough contest at Sandown before just missing out in the International at Ascot. Beaten only a neck by the subsequent Stewards' Cup winner Two Tribes last time, a similar effort from Richard Hannon's charge may well prove good enough in this company. Jumby will be winning soon based on his recent placed efforts and looks more favourably handicapped than the likes of Cracking Gold and Havana Pusey.

While most come with reasonable each-way claims, the two most persuasive candidates are CRACKING GOLD (nap) and Classic.

Won 6f Group 3 here at 33-1 by nearly 2l from King's Gamble; not crying out for 7f.

Slow-starting second to Rage Of Bamby in 6f Group 3 here; going back up to 7f can help.

Back down in trip after three top 1m races; scale of defeat last time is a worry though.

15:35 Newbury (Class 1) 7f Race Class Flow

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

William Haggas can enhance his good record in this race with the recent Bunbury Cup winner MORE THUNDER. That was the progressive colt's third win from just four starts since moving yards and he looks ready for a crack at this level. The class-dropping Spy Chief is also open to improvement regarding the distance and merits serious thought, while Lennox Stakes winner Witness Stand also rates a key player. The first two home in the Hackwood over 6f here, Rage Of Bamby and King's Gamble, add further spice to a strong renewal.

Lightly raced KING'S GAMBLE may emerge on top in the host of strong contenders which also includes Spy Chief and More Thunder.

16:10 Newbury (Class 2) 7f Race Class Flow

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

As a half-brother to five winners, including Fillies' Mile winner Quadrilateral, there is a lot like about the pedigree of SLIGHT OF FOOT, who debuts for high-profile connections and could make a big impact on his racecourse debut. Richard Hannon also introduces a notable type in the form of Law Court, while betting market support for Edwin Hubble, a half-brother to an Australian Group 1 winner, would also be highly noteworthy. Nova Centauri is another with a captivating profile to bear in mind.

The well-bred VENETIAN PRINCE showed promise in a hot maiden at Newmarket's July meeting and can put that experience to good use.

13/2(+7%)
(7) Respiro Solitario 13/2, In good form lately, though bid for hat-trick failed when still running creditably at Chester last time; needs a bit more to win this.
Progressive; close third at Chester on latest outing and may still have more to give.

Byblos

1.1
11/10(+56%)
(5) Byblos 11/10, Well-bred 3yo who easily won a maiden at Southwell upped to 11f last time (at 3-10; first run since being gelded); there's still a chance he could find a burst of improvement; claims.
Expensive to follow before long odds-on winner of a maiden at Southwell (1m3f, AW).

9/1(-157%)
(6) Shahbaz 9/1, Uneven look to his 2025 form but has still won twice, latterly over C&D; bit more needed in against some in-form 3yos here.
C&D win latest; not the most consistent but a contender if it's another of his good days.

(1) Houstonn 11/1, Bit below-par in a steadily-run race at the Shergar Cup last time and may be better judged on previous third, also over 12f at Ascot; vulnerable to less exposed 3yos for win purposes.
0-9 in handicaps; last of ten back at Ascot last Saturday, admittedly in Shergar Cup race.

(4) Renato 6/1, Useful maiden on turf/AW, last time clear second in first-time cheekpieces in reasonable little race on Southwell AW (12f) last time; leading form contender.
Four placings from his six starts, including three times over this sort of trip.

(3) Raintown 33/1, Returned to form off with C&D win on penultimate start before well held in competitive race at Chepstow; may be vulnerable, pitched in against some 3yo improvers.
Comfortable C&D win (good to firm) in July; no show at Chepstow (good to soft) last week.

16:45 Newbury (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Three-year-old's have won both renewals of this contest and that trend could continue courtesy of AL WASL STORM. Outclassed in both the Derby and the Queen's Vase, Owen Burrows' colt now goes handicapping from what looks a workable mark. Renato bumped into an improver at Southwell latest so must be of real interest, as is the case with Byblos, who didn't need to come out of first gear to break his maiden tag recently.

Al Wasl Storm and Byblos are fascinating but RESPIRO SOLITARIO might just have enough improvement in him still.

7/4(+68%)
(3) Fort George 7/4, Progressive 3yo who ran very well when upped to 10f and good third in better-contested race than this at Goodwood last time (briefly hampered); much respected.
Came from well off the pace for third of 18 at Glorious Goodwood (1m2f) 16 days ago.

Up another 6lb today but galloped on relentlessly last time as if he had more in the tank.

(2) Hopewell Rock 11/2, Two from two last year, here (1m, good; at this meeting) and then at Bath (1m, soft); highly likely to stay 10f; off for 10 months; unexposed and market will be informative.
2-2 over 1m as 2yo; rather belated reappearance but he's had big-race entries in his time.

(1) Skimmer 7/4, Well-bred colt who is two from two, at Leicester (10f) and then when coming from bit further back than ideal on Kempton AW (11f); unexposed; fair mark; big chance.
Looked a smart prospect when winning a 1m2f maiden at Leicester and 1m3f novice at Kempton.

Big improver who's won over 7f/1m in the last three of his four handicaps; bred for 1m2f.

17:20 Newbury (Class 3) 10f Race Class Flow

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

It is impossible to rule out any of these, so only a tentative vote can go to SKIMMER. Now two from two having after winning at Kempton last month, Harry Charlton's colt could be a cut above in time and this lofty opening mark might not stop him. Organ completed a hat-trick at Goodwood in June so remains of interest, despite a further 5lb rise, while Night Step seeks a hat-trick of his own having won at Lingfield and Newmarket recently. The unbeaten Hopewell Rock hasn't been seen since last October and the market can guide.

This is a field to be highly enthusiastic about from top to bottom but SKIMMER left a striking impression with his two wins.

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.
