1	9 1st (9) (2.25/1 +65%) Crack Shot		2.25 2.25/1(+65%)																															(9) Crack Shot 2.25/1, Son of Kingman who got off the mark in 1m Nottingham maiden in June. Creditable second at Hamilton next time and not disgraced when fifth of 15 in a Class 2 at the Glorious Goodwood meeting on his handicap debut. Respected. Faded over 1m2f on soft on handicap debut; possible improver under today's conditions.
2	1 2nd (1) (2.75/1 -22%) Classic		2.75 2.75/1(-22%)																															(1) Classic 2.75/1, Useful 7f winner at 2. Not up to Group 3 level in the Greenham on his C&D reappearance but back on track in handicaps since, winning over 7f at Sandown before shaping better than the bare result here (7f) last time, left with too much to do. Remains one to be interested in. 3yo who has potential now back up to 1m and is firmly in calculations.
3	2 3rd (2) (11/1 -10%) Metabolt		11 11/1(-10%)																															(2) Metabolt 11/1, Won first 2 starts of the campaign and only narrowly failed to reel in one who was well in on hat-trick bid at Haydock. Found good run halted at Galway but shaped as if back in form when sixth of 13 at Windsor (8.1f) 12 days ago, not knocked about. Player. Two wins earlier in season and suffered trouble in running at Windsor latest; respected.
4	4 4th (4) (10/1 -18%) Cabinet Of Clowns		10 10/1(-18%)																															(4) Cabinet Of Clowns 10/1, Showed a willing attitude to get off the mark for the season at Newmarket in June and got back on the up in first-time blinkers when digging deep to land 12-runner event at Chepstow (8.1f) 19 days ago. Should remain competitive. Won in first-time blinkers at Chepstow and could have more to offer in the headgear.
5th	7 5th (7) (12/1 -100%) Monte Linas		12 12/1(-100%)																															(7) Monte Linas 12/1, Made a winning debut at Chelmsford in April and cast aside a couple of heavy defeats in handicap company when landing 12-runner contest at York in July. Seemed unsuited by conditions at Sandown on most recent outing, so better judged on previous form. Lightly raced 3yo; won at York last month; testing going may have been too much at Sandown.
6th	10 6th (10) (50/1 -127%) Intervention		50 50/1(-127%)																															(10) Intervention 50/1, Twenty one runs since last win in 2022 but wasn't seen to best effect when seventh of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 11 days ago, racing well off the pace after awkward start. Significantly back up in trip. Fair third over 8.4f in May but he's probably better served by a shorter trip.
7th	3 7th (3) (7/1 +30%) Island Bandit		7 7/1(+30%)																															(3) Island Bandit 7/1, Proved better than ever when doubling his tally for the year in 11-runner handicap (6/1) at Sandown (8f, good) 9 days ago, albeit with the run of the race. Merits respect under a 5-lb penalty. Two-time course winner who showed career-best form when winning at Sandown recently.
8th	6 8th (6) (6.5/1 +0%) Sea Eagle		6.5 6.5/1(+0%)																															(6) Sea Eagle 6.5/1, Continued theme of race-by-race progress when landing 7-runner maiden at Chelmsford in October. Most likely needed his recent Goodwood reappearance and this will reveal more. Unexposed 3yo who is open to improvement for his top trainer.
9th	8 9th (8) (18/1 +0%) Remarkable Force		18 18/1(+0%)																															(8) Remarkable Force 18/1, Sharp juvenile (won first 2 starts) but failed to progress thereafter last term. However, arrives here having run easily his best race of this campaign when third at Sandown (7f) 19 days ago. Step up to 1m worth exploring and must enter calculations. Third over 7f at Sandown recently; remains to be seen if this 3yo will see out 1m.

LTO Selection:

15:40 Newbury Handicap (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow

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

ISLAND BANDIT ticks a lot of boxes with two wins from three starts here, one over this trip, and, as the four-year-old also handles the predicted going, he seems to have every chance. He took a similar race last time out at Sandown and, although he has a 5lb penalty to carry, there may be more to come. Classic was a good fourth in a better race here over a furlong shorter and has every chance if he gets home, while Crack Shot is another to take seriously.

CLASSIC shaped as if still on a good mark when fourth here 10 days ago and, with the step back up to 1m well worth exploring, he earns the vote. Metabolt looked back in form at Windsor recently and must enter calculations, along with Monte Linas, who's better judged on his York win having seemed unsuited by testing ground at Sandown last time.

The step back up to 1m could be just what CLASSIC (nap) needs following his staying-on fourth over 7f here, when denied a clear run.

1	2 1st (2) (4/1 +20%) Graham		4 4/1(+20%)																															(2) Graham 4/1, All-the-way Salisbury handicap winner over this trip in June and has performed with credit when reaching the frame on all 3 outings since. Enjoying a solid run of form this summer and could be thereabouts.
2	10 2nd (10) (7/1 -17%) Medieval Gold		7 7/1(-17%)																															(10) Medieval Gold 7/1, Similar form in his 3 qualifying runs but possible he could take a step forward now handicapping in first-time cheekpieces. Soundly beaten on his three starts but gelded since and a possible improver for top yard.
3	9 3rd (9) (11/1 -175%) Sailing On		11 11/1(-175%)																															(9) Sailing On 11/1, Brother to Oaks winner Talent. Has made steady progress in maiden novice events, finishing length third of 7 to the reopposing African Star at Lingfield (11.5f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Handicap debut. One to consider. Good 3rd in recent maiden; this brother to Oaks winner Talent is open to further progress.
4	5 4th (5) (4/1 +38%) Gordon Grey		4 4/1(+38%)																															(5) Gordon Grey 4/1, Improved when runner-up on 1¼m Newmarket handicap debut in June. Failed to back in up when only seventh in a Racing League handicap at Chepstow since but retains potential now moving up to 1½m with William Buick taking the ride. Second on handicap debut at Newmarket last month and had an excuse at Chepstow next time.
5th	7 5th (7) (18/1 -177%) African Star		18 18/1(-177%)																															(7) African Star 18/1, Left January AW debut well behind when springing an 80/1 surprise in a maiden at Lingfield (11.5f, good to firm) in a first-time tongue tie (retained) 7 months later. Potential for better again now handicapping. 80-1 win in maiden recently; pedigree provides hope he'll be capable of better still.
6th	6 6th (6) (28/1 -100%) Haaland		28 28/1(-100%)																															(6) Haaland 28/1, Won back-to-back events at Southwell and Lingfield in January. Off since a lesser run at Wolverhampton in March and watching brief the percentage call on just his second turf start. Won two in a row in January but failed to threaten the next twice; returns from a break.
7th	3 7th (3) (8.5/1 -13%) Ragosina		8.5 8.5/1(-13%)																															(3) Ragosina 8.5/1, Hinted at ability in novice events at and has duly improved in handicaps this term, winning over 1¼m at Newmarket in June. Creditable third over 1½m back there since. First-time blinkers replace the cheekpieces worn the last twice. In good form in cheekpieces the last twice; now sports blinkers and she retains potential.
8th	8 8th (8) (8.5/1 -13%) Edge Of Ember		8.5 8.5/1(-13%)																															(8) Edge Of Ember 8.5/1, Fair maiden. Creditable return from win surgery when sixth of 12 in 1¼m Chelmsford handicap 3 weeks ago. Steps back up to 1½m now. Only sixth in first two handicaps but today's step back up in trip may be a positive.
9th	1 9th (1) (22/1 -38%) Mythical Guest		22 22/1(-38%)																															(1) Mythical Guest 22/1, Fair form in maiden/novice events. Not obviously well treated for this handicap debut but does bring unexposed potential. Has shown ability and now goes handicapping off fair mark; not ruled out for in-form yard.
10th	4 10th (4) (3.33/1 +56%) Divya		3.33 3.33/1(+56%)																															(4) Divya 3.33/1, Fair maiden who seemed stretched by 2m when fifth of 7 on Kempton handicap debut 20 days ago. Back down in trip with Oisin Murphy doing the steering. Faded over 2m on handicap debut; drops back down in trip and is not ruled out.

LTO Selection:

16:15 Newbury Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Edge Of Ember was expected to do better when sent off favourite at Chelmsford on his first start after wind surgery, but he is upped in trip now and may improve. African Star is hard to gauge after winning his maiden at 80/1, and he could surprise a few on his handicap debut, but RAGOSINA is narrowly preferred. She ran on into third despite becoming unbalanced at Newmarket and sports first-time blinkers.

GORDON GREY is given a second chance to confirm the promise of his Newmarket handicap debut second, form which has been franked by those around him. Sailing On, Medieval Gold and African Star all have unexposed potential now switching to handicap company and may provide the main opposition.

Gordon Grey is a tempting option but the William Haggas-trained MEDIEVAL GOLD could prove to be much better than his opening mark.

7	7 (7) (22/1 -120%) Gentle Whinny		22 22/1(-120%)																															(7) Gentle Whinny 22/1, Improved with each of her 3 starts as a 2-y-o, culminating in a 1m novice success at Windsor. However, she hasn't made much of an impact in a couple of handicaps this time round and needs to get back on track. 2yo novice win last October but well beaten on both starts this year.
1	11 1st (11) (2/1 +43%) Unlimited		2 2/1(+43%)																															(11) Unlimited 2/1, Has performed to a similar level in a trio of novice events, most recently finishing third of 11 at Hamilton (8.3f, good). Still, improvement could be forthcoming now that he moves back up in trip for this handicap debut. Makes handicap debut having been gelded; in top hands and he's one to be interested in.
2	4 2nd (4) (3/1 +33%) Khinjani		3 3/1(+33%)																															(4) Khinjani 3/1, Had a bit left up her sleeve when opening her account in a 5-runner Haydock handicap (10.4f, good) earlier this month. Nudged up just 2 lb and she looks nailed-on for another bold show. Won at Haydock latest; this looks a better race but she has a progressive profile.
3	10 3rd (10) (14/1 +0%) Ithaca's Arrow		14 14/1(+0%)																															(10) Ithaca's Arrow 14/1, Improved form when scoring on the AW upped to 1½m at Lingfield in May but subsequent efforts have not been too inspiring. Won AW novice in May but has failed to threaten in turf handicaps on next four starts.
4	9 4th (9) (11/1 -29%) Gold Aura		11 11/1(-29%)																															(9) Gold Aura 11/1, Failed to build on debut promise at 2 yrs but nothing wrong with this season's placed efforts in 1m handicaps at Kempton and Salisbury (good). Mark unchanged and shapes as though this trip will suit, so she's worth considering. Placed over 1m on both runs in 2023; pedigree suggests she'll improve for this longer trip.
5th	3 5th (3) (11/1 -69%) Yamalia Star		11 11/1(-69%)																															(3) Yamalia Star 11/1, Fair form in a handful of Irish maidens, not beaten far when fourth of 12 at Roscommon (1½m, good to soft) last week. Shapes as though this trip could be ideal and while she needs to improve now handicapping, it's possible that she'll do just that with first-time cheekpieces enlisted. Promise in Irish maidens and pedigree provides optimism she'll be capable of better.
6th	5 6th (5) (5/1 +41%) Bloomwithgrace		5 5/1(+41%)																															(5) Bloomwithgrace 5/1, Shaped well all 3 starts in novice company at 2 yrs and knocking on the door this season, finding just one too good upped to this trip at Ripon (good) last time. Likely to pick up a race before long but improvement will be needed if this is to be the race in which she gets off the mark. Second at Ripon last time behind one who followed up; could again be thereabouts.
7th	2 7th (2) (8.5/1 -21%) Forest Demon		8.5 8.5/1(-21%)																															(2) Forest Demon 8.5/1, Kempton nursery winner at 2 yrs and deservedly got his head back in front with a first-time tongue strap applied under William Buick at Newmarket (1¼m, good) recently. 4 lb rise fair enough and he has to enter calculations. Improved form to win at Newmarket 11 days ago and he's respected up 4lb.
8th	1 8th (1) (33/1 -50%) Nopoli		33 33/1(-50%)																															(1) Nopoli 33/1, Successful at Jebel Ali in January but hasn't made much of an impact in 5 subsequent starts. Handicapper has shown mercy (eased 5 lb since latest start) but, even so, he's hard to warm to. Won on dirt at Jebel Ali in January on second start but struggled to get competitive since.
9th	6 9th (6) (33/1 -288%) Photon		33 33/1(-288%)																															(6) Photon 33/1, Promise on first 2 starts at Kempton and again when third in a 9-runner Salisbury novice (7f, soft) on turf debut last month. Mark for this handicap debut looks fair and this stiffer test should help but one or two of these are more appealing all the same. Not bred for this sort of trip but not ruled out under Billy Loughnane on handicap debut.
10th	8 10th (8) (22/1 -83%) Raintown		22 22/1(-83%)																															(8) Raintown 22/1, Enjoyed a productive 2-y-o campaign on the AW, completing the hat-trick on New Year's Eve. Has struggled in 4 runs since switched to turf, though, and it's easy enough to look elsewhere. Three AW wins towards end of last year but down the field on grass the last twice.
11th	12 11th (12) (50/1 -178%) Star Of Mayo		50 50/1(-178%)																															(12) Star Of Mayo 50/1, Showed improved form to make it fourth time lucky in novice company at Lingfield (1m, AW) in January. Disappointed in handicaps over longer trips both starts thereafter on AW and, having been gelded, he again failed to shine back from a break/returned to turf at Salisbury (1m, good). Patchy profile this year but recent comeback run wasn't devoid of promise; not discounted.

16:50 Newbury Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

William Haggas won this in 2021 and has an interesting contender here with Unlimited, who was third on his latest start and has been gelded since. He needs to improve, but a mark of 70 for his handicap debut looks fair. Gold Aura has done little wrong with a second and a third this season and she could also have some say, but KHINJANI is hard to oppose. A winner last time out at Haydock, she travelled well throughout for a comfortable success and an added 2lb may not be enough to stop her.

KHINJANI found only the progressive Gallant Lion, who has gone in twice again since, over this C&D last month prior to going one better at Haydock 17 days ago. She appeared to have more in hand than the winning margin would suggest on that occasion and, up just 2 lb, she is taken to strike again. Forest Demon, also successful last time, is feared most ahead of the upped-in-trip Gold Aura and handicap-debutant Unlimited.

The step up in trip looks to be the right move for GOLD AURA and she is taken to get off the mark at the sixth attempt.

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.
