1	6 1st (6) (12/1 +40%) Witch Hunter		12 12/1(+40%)																															(6) Witch Hunter 12/1, Really smart effort when coming from last to first in Buckingham Palace Stakes (handicap) at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm) in June. Placed at listed level on his next 2 outings and not seen to best effect in a small-field scenario at Pontefract (8f, good to soft) last time. Each-way claims. Won Royal Ascot handicap; beaten in Group 3/Listed races since; same outcome seems likely.
2	9 2nd (9) (8/1 +43%) New Endeavour		8 8/1(+43%)																															(9) New Endeavour 8/1, Doubled his tally in ready fashion at Kempton and showed he's every bit as good on turf when an excellent second in the Britannia at Royal Ascot. Respectable effort when third to Nostrum in listed event at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) since and this obviously tougher. Fair Listed third at Newmarket last time but clear career best is needed from this 3yo.
3	1 3rd (1) (2/1 +27%) Chindit		2 2/1(+27%)																															(1) Chindit 2/1, Added a listed race to his tally on his reappearance in May and excelled himself when runner-up in the Lockinge here later that month. Not in quite the same form when mid-field in the Queen Anne Stakes but ticks plenty of boxes returned to this level after a couple of months off. Below par at Royal Ascot but leading claims judged on his second here in the Lockinge.
4	10 4th (10) (7.5/1 +63%) Mammas Girl		7.5 7.5/1(+63%)																															(10) Mammas Girl 7.5/1, Newmarket winner on sole 2-y-o start and while it was hardly a vintage renewal of the Nell Gwyn that she won on return there in April, she did it decisively. Well held in pair of Group 1s next 2 starts but back on track when mid-field in a Group 3 at York last month. Return to 7f a plus. Won 7f Group 3 Nell Gwyn on reappearance but unable to reproduce that form since.
5th	3 5th (3) (18/1 +45%) Misty Grey		18 18/1(+45%)																															(3) Misty Grey 18/1, Back to form after 6 months off when fourth in Chester listed event (7f) in July and ran as well as could be expected from a mark of 107 considering he's more effective on all-weather when eighth at Chepstow (7.1f) 9 days ago. This level is probably above his paygrade. Placed in Group races last August/October but hasn't been at his very best this summer.
6th	5 6th (5) (16/1 +60%) Rodaballo		16 16/1(+60%)																															(5) Rodaballo 16/1, Useful in Spain with seven of his 8 career victories at Madrid (including on soft ground). Not discredited in three runs at Meydan earlier this year and might have needed the run after 5 months off when sixth in handicap at Ascot (8f, good to soft) 3 weeks ago. Others appeal more. German Group 2 win in 2021, but 2023 form suggests this Spanish challenger is vulnerable.
7th	8 7th (8) (6/1 +29%) Mostabshir		6 6/1(+29%)																															(8) Mostabshir 6/1, Winner of both starts in novice company (still green in the Craven in between) and acquitted himself quite well when sixth in St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot. Failed to confirm that improvement at listed level since, so he's likely to come up short here. Improvement needed but remains lightly raced and perhaps blinkers will give him a boost.
8th	7 8th (7) (6/1 +25%) Marbaan		6 6/1(+25%)																															(7) Marbaan 6/1, Enjoyed his finest hour when winning the Group 2 Vintage at Glorious Goodwood last year. Returned to 7f for the first time this year and ran up to his best without posing a threat when 3¼ lengths third of 6 to Kinross in Lennox Stakes back there 18 days ago. Folly to discount. Creditable third in the Group 2 Lennox at Goodwood and he could be a contender.
9th	4 9th (4) (7/1 -17%) Pogo		7 7/1(-17%)																															(4) Pogo 7/1, Not at his very best this year (won 2 Group 3s and a Group 2 last season), though latest third in Group 3 at Newmarket was a step back in the right direction. Capable of going well. Potential front runner. 3 Group-race wins last year; step back in right direction last time; could be in the mix.

LTO Selection:

15:35 Newbury Group 2 (Class 1) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Chindit hit the woodwork in the Lockinge before going on to finish a creditable sixth in the Queen Anne. Those efforts set a clear form standard, but he was a well-held eighth in this last year and the winner JUMBY is preferred. The son of New Bay warmed up for his title defence with a good second in the Criterion at Newmarket (Pogo just behind in third), and this has likely been the target all along. The latter also merits respect, along with Marbaan, who arrives on the back of a solid third in the Lennox.

One of the top 7f races in the calendar in Britain and last year's winner JUMBY looks to have serious claims of repeating that feat having been freshened up since his runner-up effort in the Criterion at Newmarket. Eve Johnson Houghton is enjoying plenty of success this month and her 5-y-o can get the better of Chindit, who is most probably having his last race before embarking on a career at stud in India. Possible front-runner Pogo and Marbaan can do battle for third spot.

C&D Group 3 winner CHINDIT has been placed in the last two runnings of the Group 1 Lockinge Stakes here and he earns the vote.

16:05 Newbury Maiden (Class 2) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Ralph Beckett has been in irresistible form recently and he could continue that trend with FARIZIO. By Dubawi out of a Frankel mare, there is enough to suggest this initial test of stamina will suit, for all that he is likely to come into his own over further. Navy Jack (second) had the benefit of previous experience when finishing ahead of Highland Spring (fourth) at Sandown, but William Haggas' colt could reverse that form with improvement on the cards. Fire Demon is also noted.

NAVY JACK stepped up on debut when beaten only by a smart prospect at Sandown and makes the most appeal with further progress likely. Dancing Gemini is worth another chance to build on debut back in calmer waters so is next best ahead of Highland Spring, who was just under 2 lengths behind the selection at Sandown on debut.

Some interesting newcomers but there's decent form on show and HIGHLAND SPRING should be all the wiser for his Sandown experience.

11	11 (11) (3/1 +33%) Feud		3 3/1(+33%)																															(11) Feud 3/1, Found some improvement upped to this sort of trip when opening account at Haydock (11.6f) 2 starts back and matched that level when runner-up to a fellow 3-y-o at Catterick (12f) 24 days ago, staying on. Yard continue in tremendous form. 1st and 2nd in handicaps at about 1m4f on last two starts but needs to find extra.
1	1 (1) (4.5/1 +25%) Dubai Welcome		4.5 4.5/1(+25%)																															(1) Dubai Welcome 4.5/1, Very low-mileage 6-y-o who was twice a runner-up on AW upon returning from a lengthy absence last summer. Possible 14f stretched his stamina on final start in Bet 365 Trophy at Newmarket last July but unlikely to be lacking for fitness on return from another lengthy absence. Has shown he can go well after a layoff but now needs to show he can do it on turf.
6	6 (6) (5/1 +9%) Lion Kingdom		5 5/1(+9%)																															(6) Lion Kingdom 5/1, Improved with each of his 3 starts as a juvenile and shaped well on 2 of his 3 starts this term, that despite not looking well served by the steady tempo when second at Newmarket (10f) in July. Likely there's more to come from him granted a greater test of stamina. The way he grabbed second so late in the day at Newmarket (1m2f) gave hope for 1m4f.
10	10 (10) (5.5/1 +50%) El Jasor		5.5 5.5/1(+50%)																															(10) El Jasor 5.5/1, Le Havre colt. Promise on second of 3 starts in novice/maiden company and much improved to make winning handicap debut at Redcar (10f) in June, overcoming a pace bias. York run since was underwhelming but likelihood is he remains on a good mark. Up in trip. Shapes as if worth a go at 1m4f and interesting if bouncing back to form after latest run.
9	9 (9) (6/1 -50%) Scintillante		6 6/1(-50%)																															(9) Scintillante 6/1, Promising sort who opened his account at Chester in July and would probably have been second (finished fourth) had he not been checked in his run at Ascot (12f) last time. Still going right way and he's one to be interested in. Progressing; caught in a pocket at crucial stage when running-on fourth at Ascot (1m4f).
2	2 (2) (11/1 -22%) Valsad		11 11/1(-22%)																															(2) Valsad 11/1, Ready winner of a 4-runner novice (11.6f) last spring. Lightly raced after, creditable third of 14 in handicap at Haydock (14f) on final outing in July. Gelded, proved to be a disappointment (very well backed) at Doncaster in May but in good hands and not one to give up on. Good 3rd (1m6f, soft) last July; absent until tailed off (1m4f, soft) this May as 6-4 fav.
12	12 (12) (12/1 +25%) Enochdhu		12 12/1(+25%)																															(12) Enochdhu 12/1, Dual winner at 2 yrs and sharper for reappearance run when successful at Windsor (11.5f, soft) in May.Mixed bag subsequently but he did run up to best (granted run of the race) when second at Sandown (14f, heavy) 17 days ago. It looks as if any recent rain will help; relatively exposed and needs a bit better.
14	14 (14) (12/1 +33%) Order Of Malta		12 12/1(+33%)																															(14) Order Of Malta 12/1, Much improved having been gelded when landing 4-runner Nottingham novice (10.2f) in July. Could only run to a similar level when fourth on handicap bow at Newmarket (10f) 21 days ago but plenty about him physically to think he can do better still. Up in trip. Favourite, fair rallying fourth of seven at Newmarket (1m2f) but Lion Kingdom passed him.
3	3 (3) (16/1 +0%) Croeso Cymraeg		16 16/1(+0%)																															(3) Croeso Cymraeg 16/1, 9-y-o who confirmed himself back at the top of his game when landing handicap at Salisbury (12f) for second consecutive season last month. Confirmed he remains in good order when fourth eased in trip at Sandown (10f) since but this tougher facing less exposed sorts. Grand 9yo; latest win at Salisbury (1m4f) last month from Eagle Court; each-way candidate.
7	7 (7) (40/1 -233%) Eagle Court		40 40/1(-233%)																															(7) Eagle Court 40/1, Opened account for present yard at Salisbury (12f) in May and having not got home back at 2m next time, quickly returned to form when runner-up behind Croeso Cymraeg at first-named venue in July. However, another who may prove vulnerable to younger rivals in this line up. Won over 1m4f at Salisbury in May and second to Croeso Cymraeg over that same C&D latest.
5	5 (5) (40/1 -60%) Greystoke		40 40/1(-60%)																															(5) Greystoke 40/1, In good form on AW and justified good support to resume winning ways back on turf at Chester (12.3f, soft) in May. Seemingly not 100% when well held sixth over C&D when last seen in June and bounce back likely for all he's yet to defy a mark this high. Won comfortably at Chester (1m4f, soft) in May, clear personal best; backward steps since.
13	13 (13) (80/1 -100%) Clever Relation		80 80/1(-100%)																															(13) Clever Relation 80/1, Made a winning start at Windsor (10f, heavy) but unable to replicate that either start since, dropping away from 2f out when sixth of 7 in a 10f novice here last month. Steps up in trip for handicap debut and connections quick to reach for the blinkers. Dam was a good stayer; ready winner on debut but something amiss both runs since; blinkers.
8	8 (8) (125/1 -400%) Renardeau		125 125/1(-400%)																															(8) Renardeau 125/1, 7-y-o who has twice shaped well returning from a lengthy absence, second of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (12f) in February. able to race off 3 lb lower mark back on turf but this looks a tough enough ask back from another 6 months off. Placed twice on AW in February; failed to shine in 2020 when last seen on Flat turf.

16:40 Newbury Handicap (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

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

This represents a significant drop in class for DUBAI WELCOME and this still low-mileage gelding is fancied to justify why Godolphin are persevering with him at the age of six. Stepping back from 1m6f could also be key to his chance on his return and a breakthrough success on turf could be imminent for the son of Dubawi. There may also be more to come from Lion Kingdom and Scintillante, who head the list of dangers.

A winner at Chester 2 starts back, SCINTILLANTE would highly likely have finished runner-up but for getting his run checked at a crucial stage when fourth behind a rapidly improving William Haggas in-mate at Ascot 3 weeks ago. Open to further progress, he can confirm his present mark workable, with fellow 3-y-o Lion Kingdom next best. Valsad, a disappointment at Doncaster in the spring, isn't one to give up on and along with Vaynor, completes the shortlist.

Half are 3yos and several of those bring serious hopes of improvement, with SCINTILLANTE tipped ahead of Lion Kingdom.

7	7 (7) (2.25/1 +32%) Greek Order		2.25 2.25/1(+32%)																															(7) Greek Order 2.25/1, Well-bred Kingman colt who has already shown fairly useful form and overcame a slow start to score on his handicap debut at Sandown in May. Off since but he has more to come up in trip and makes plenty of appeal. Improved to win at Sandown (1m, good) in May on handicap debut latest; interesting at 1m2f.
1	1 (1) (4/1 -14%) Imperial Emperor		4 4/1(-14%)																															(1) Imperial Emperor 4/1, Dubawi colt who made it 2-2 in 1m Newmarket novice in June. Only fifth of 6 to Nostrum in listed race at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) 37 days ago but sort to bounce back now going up in trip on his handicap debut. Tongue strap on 1st time. Won twice before coming up well short in 1m Listed race; gelded; pedigree is for 1m2f+.
2	2 (2) (4/1 +38%) Tony Montana		4 4/1(+38%)																															(2) Tony Montana 4/1, 425,000 gns Kingman colt who opened his account in a C&D novice in July. Posted a solid fourth switched to handicaps at Goodwood since. Not ruled out off the same mark. 8-13 for his C&D novice win in July; respectable handicap debut at Goodwood (1m4f, soft).
8	8 (8) (6/1 +45%) Cracksking		6 6/1(+45%)																															(8) Cracksking 6/1, Progressive maiden. 4/1, very good second of 7 to Tony Montana in minor event at this C&D (good to firm) 37 days ago, not ideally placed. Makes handicap debut. Ought to be in the shake-up. Still learning when never-nearer second to Tony Montana in C&D novice (good) last time.
6	6 (6) (8.5/1 +0%) Rogue Sea		8.5 8.5/1(+0%)																															(6) Rogue Sea 8.5/1, Looked quite useful when winning 2 novices over 1¼m. Raced too freely over much longer trip at Haydock on handicap debut but a well-run race over this distance offers a more suitable test. Won novices at 1m2f and 1m3f; too free (also met trouble) upped to 1m6f for handicap debut.
5	5 (5) (11/1 -69%) Intricacy		11 11/1(-69%)																															(5) Intricacy 11/1, Already developing a consistent record and scored readily in first-time cheekpieces at Ascot in July. Solid fourth of 12 at Goodwood since so he's shortlisted. Had to come from last at Glorious Goodwood (1m3f, good to soft) and finished fourth of 12.
9	9 (9) (12/1 +14%) She's Hot		12 12/1(+14%)																															(9) She's Hot 12/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time (and had breathing operation), good fifth in 1m handicap at Goodwood. Refused to race in handicap at Chepstow (10f, good) 9 days ago though so others appeal more. Stays 1m2f but needs improvement and refused to race at Chepstow nine days ago.
4	4 (4) (25/1 -79%) Maximilian Caesar		25 25/1(-79%)																															(4) Maximilian Caesar 25/1, Wide-margin winner in 1m handicap at Doncaster on return. Got back on track when second of four in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good) 50 days ago. Enters calculations now stepping up in trip. This new trip might be within reach; it needs to spark renewed improvement, though.

17:15 Newbury Handicap (Class 3) 10f Race Class Flow

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

TONY MONTANA had two and a half lengths to spare over Cracksking when they met over C&D last month and having subsequently run with credit in a deeper race at Glorious Goodwood, he can confirm the form and looks the one to be with at this level. Greek Order has scope to improve further over this distance and also commands respect, while Bleak is another strong contender from a top yard to seriously consider.

Some promising sorts in opposition but the vote goes to BLEAK who hasn't looked back since being gelded and can quickly resume winning ways on the back of his excellent York second. Greek Order has been off the track since May but is still feared most off a handy-looking mark, with Cracksking, Rogue Sea and Tony Montana all in the mix too.

Well held in a 1m Listed race last time, the now-gelded IMPERIAL EMPEROR is given another chance with today's step up in trip.

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.
