Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

1st place: 6/1 (3) IDEAL DREAM 2nd place: 7/1 (2) FIRE EYES 3rd place: 6/1 (5) CARACRISTI

Ideal Dream came home in front last time at a big price over 1m4f here and was put up 5lb in the weights, but she drops in distance and DESERT MIRACLE is preferred. The son of Postponed was staying on well at the finish over a mile at Southwell last time and has been dropped 1lb in the weights for that effort. With possible improvement coming from the step up in trip, he is fancied to record his first career success. Marcello Si is another to watch out for.

After breaking on terms for once, IDEAL DREAM left her previous efforts behind when successful here 22 days ago and she can score again now that she's up and running. The main danger could be Desert Miracle as he goes up in trip, while Caracristi soon got back on track returned to the all-weather last time.

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

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well based on this summary, but 1.2/1 (5) FLYING CIRCUS and 8/1 (2) MOOGIE seem to have the most potential. Therefore, they may finish in 1st and 2nd place, while 4.5/1 (6) SILK BIRD could finish in 3rd. However, as with any horse race, anything can happen, so it's impossible to guarantee these predictions.

FLYING CIRCUS shaped well on debut when beaten just under five lengths into third over a mile at Doncaster in October, and two subsequent winners have come out of that race. With the likelihood of much more to come and the step up in trip a possible source of improvement, she could prove very difficult to beat. Charli Sands makes some appeal on her debut for the in-form Ed Bethell yard, as a daughter of Footstepsinthesand. Of the remainder, Ajyad could take a step forward.

FLYING CIRCUS made a promising debut when third at Doncaster on her only start at 2 yrs and she sets the standard in this contest. Entered in the Irish Oaks, the daughter of Cracksman can get off the mark upped in trip, with Ajyad the one who can give her most to think about. Silk Bird is the pick of the remainder.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Based on the summary, the horses that are likely to finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd are: 1st - 1.25/1 (3) PAGE THREE: Showed promise in her debut and has the potential to progress and win. 2nd - 2.25/1 (8) HEDONISTA: Ran to a fair level in her debut and is expected to do better with more experience. 3rd - 3/1 (6) CAPTAIN POTTER: Despite a disappointing performance in his last race, he has shown potential in his debut and could bounce back.

Hedonista was only beaten half a length on her debut at Kempton over 1m3f, and the three-year-old filly is likely to have learned a lot from that experience. However, she could be second best to the Keith Dalgleish-trained PAGE THREE, who had an extremely promising first start behind Sapphire Seas and, with the extra furlong possibly in her favour, she is the one to be with. Captain Potter completes the shortlist.

PAGE THREE ran to a fairly useful level when third at Kempton on her belated debut last month, finding only a pair of 3-y-os representing leading connections too strong, so she can build on that effort to open her account at the second time of asking. Hedonista also shaped promisingly on her first start and is feared most, ahead of Captain Potter.

Having shaped with promise on her Polytrack debut, PAGE THREE is fancied to get off the mark. Hedonista rates the main danger.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Based on the summary, the horses that are likely to finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place are 25/1 (9) ELIGIBLE, 7/1 (7) STREAK LIGHTNING, and 7/1 (5) SWISS ACE. 25/1 (9) ELIGIBLE has shown good form in previous races and is expected to do well in a bigger field. 7/1 (7) STREAK LIGHTNING is a three-time course winner and has been performing well recently, despite being denied a run in his last race. 7/1 (5) SWISS ACE, a previous winner of this race, has the advantage of being a dual C&D winner and could do better now that he's back round here.

ALL THE KING'S MEN found himself too far back off a sedate gallop when finishing third at Kempton last month and, with Rainbow Fire (second) subsequently winning a nice pot at Haydock, a similar performance on the class drop may suffice. Ron O is only 3lb higher than his last success over C&D in early April and he's feared most, while Eligible lost little in defeat when runner-up to a progressive rival at Wolverhampton.

Having previously been trained in France, ALL THE KING'S MEN made an impressive stable debut when winning at Lingfield in January, but he was then absent for 11 weeks before finishing third at Kempton last month. With his latest run behind him, he can resume his progress and is taken to see off the challenge of Eligible and Streak Lightning.

This can go to ALL THE KING'S MEN, who'll be happier into tonight's bigger field. Last year's winner Swiss Ace is second choice.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Based on the summary provided, the horses that could potentially finish in 1st, 2nd and 3rd are: 1st place: 4/1 (6) TRABAJO DETECHO 2nd place: 8/1 (9) BELLA KOPELLA 3rd place: 5/1 (4) NORTHERN SPIRIT

Razzam makes his first appearance in handicaps and looks to have been given a workable mark based on what he's achieved so far. NORTHERN SPIRIT, however, was only denied by a head when second over C&D last month and, despite being 3lb higher in the ratings, Brian Ellison's gelding rates as a more solid proposition. Another Baar has been in good form on the turf of late and the son of Mayson also enters calculations.

BELLA KOPELLA had something to spare when scoring here in March and shaped as if still in form on her only subsequent outing, so she's worth a chance to get back to winning ways for all that this looks a competitive event for the grade. In-form pair Another Baar and Northern Spirit are obvious dangers.

Currently 2-2 over C&D, TRABAJO DETECHO (nap) did nothing wrong on turf last time and is fancied to see off Bella Kopella.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Based on the summary provided, it is difficult to confidently predict which horse will finish in the top three. However, some horses that seem to have a good chance based on the information given are: 1) 5/1 (3) MACHO PRIDE - Well handicapped and a course winner 2) Arrives in good order and should go well again. 3) 14/1 (2) FINAL ACCOUNT - Has claims if the return of headgear does the trick and a C&D winner. It is important to note that horse racing is unpredictable and anything can happen on the day of the race. It is always recommended to do further research and consider other factors like form, jockey, trainer, and track conditions before making a final prediction.

BOARHUNT showed enough pace over further at Southwell last time out to suggest that he can handle the drop in trip. The four-year-old remains on a workable mark and he may have too much for the likes of Dreamcasing and Zegos Surprise, who has strong claims on his penultimate effort over C&D. Others to note include Atrafan, Final Account and Mutanaaseq.

MUTANAASEQ is really well treated and caught the eye having met trouble at Redcar recently, so he gets the nod in the hope that he gets a clearer passage this time. Dreamcasing is still lightly raced for a sprinter and looks the main danger, while Boarhunt is likely to put up another solid showing.

Dreamcasing is worth a look but MERRY SECRET has had excuses since his C&D win off tonight's mark in March and can bounce back.

1st: 2.75/1 (4) ANOTHER ANGEL 2nd: 5/1 (5) TANTASTIC 3rd: 4.5/1 (3) LATIN FIVE

This can go the way of LATIN FIVE, who must hold every chance if building on a strong runner-up effort at Thirsk last time out. He is now 8lb below his last winning mark and is narrowly preferred to Another Angel, who has not been outside the first two home in his last three starts. Beneficiary and Tantastic are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

Having added to his tally at Wolverhampton 3 starts back, ANOTHER ANGEL has run equally well in defeat both starts since, collared only late on having arguably gone off a little hard back at that venue 3 days ago. The return to 5f will hold no fears and he could be the answer. Latin Five and Tantastic head up the dangers.

Another Angel and Latin Five are respected but HIGH SECURITY had an excuse last time and an earlier fourth here was a good run.
