1	8 1st (8) (18/1 +0%) Pretty Crystal		18 18/1(+0%)																															(8) Pretty Crystal 18/1, Highly tried after making a winning debut but acquitted herself well without winning. Others have more potential, though. Consistent in Group 3 races and again looks likely to give her running.
2	2 2nd (2) (10/11 -25%) Dance Sequence		0.909091 10/11(-25%)																															(2) Dance Sequence 10/11, Bred to be smart and overcame both inexperience and a pace bias when landing 6-runner maiden on the July Course (7f). Had no trouble with the big rise in class when making it 2 from 2 in the Oh So Sharp Stakes over C&D in October and the one to beat. Won similar event over C&D six months ago; among the market leaders for the 1,000 Guineas.
3	5 3rd (5) (40/1 -60%) Kathmandu		40 40/1(-60%)																															(5) Kathmandu 40/1, Confirmed debut promise to win Southwell maiden in November. However, that form looks ordinary so faces an uphill task at this level. AW winner who faces a tough task on bare figures in this hotter company.
4	11 4th (11) (13/2 +41%) True Cyan		6.5 13/2(+41%)																															(11) True Cyan 13/2, £150,000 2-y-o, No Nay Never filly. Dam winner up to 1m (2-y-o 6f winner), multiple Group 3 winner in Britain/Ireland. Beat a pair of subsequent winners when making a winning debut in 17-runner maiden over C&D in September. Up in class but sure to improve. Showed a nice turn of foot to win C&D maiden on sole 2yo start; useful prospect.
5th	4 5th (4) (150/1 -127%) Heritage House		150 150/1(-127%)																															(4) Heritage House 150/1, Nursery winner who did well to hit the frame at huge odds in listed race here (6f) final start but firmly up against it on return. Fairly useful at up to 6.5f; not crying out for this extra yardage.
6th	1 6th (1) (66/1 -100%) Born To Rock		66 66/1(-100%)																															(1) Born To Rock 66/1, Soldier's Call filly who made a winning start in 12-runner maiden at Yarmouth (5.2f) in May. That form is ordinary, however, and she struggled in a listed race at Sandown on her only other start in July. Both starts over 5f, disappointing the last time; enough to prove upped 2f in trip.
7th	7 7th (7) (9/4 +50%) Matrika		2.25 9/4(+50%)																															(7) Matrika 9/4, Curragh debut winner before excellent length second of 17 to Porta Fortuna in Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm). Landed the odds in Group 2 at the Curragh following week. Off since but open to further improvement and extra 1f shouldn't be a problem. Ballydoyle filly whose useful 2yo form culminated in Group 2 success; big player.
8th	10 8th (10) (18/1 +0%) Spiritual		18 18/1(+0%)																															(10) Spiritual 18/1, €280,000 Invincible Spirit filly who made an ideal start when scoring at Leicester in September, well on top at finish. Given a surprisingly attacking ride on just her second start when fourth in the Rockfel over C&D later that month, greenness still very much in evidence. Remains with potential. Unexposed but seems headstrong and ideally needs to learn to settle better.
9th	3 9th (3) (33/1 +0%) Gushing Gold		33 33/1(+0%)																															(3) Gushing Gold 33/1, Marked step forward when winning 20-runner York nursery (7f) in August. Backed that up when second in listed Flying Scotsman at Doncaster (7f) but finished 9¾ lengths last of 7 to Dance Sequence in Oh So Sharp Stakes at this C&D final start. Best to forgive C&D defeat last time out but others have bigger potential.
10th	6 10th (6) (50/1 -52%) Lexington Belle		50 50/1(-52%)																															(6) Lexington Belle 50/1, Won 3 nurseries last season but limitations exposed in listed events last 2 starts. Regressed the last twice; stiff assignment in this first Group attempt.

15:35 Newmarket Group 3 (Class 1) 7f Race Class Flow

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

The last four winners of this race had previously tasted Newmarket success, which bodes well for supporters of DANCE SEQUENCE. Charlie Appleby's filly is unbeaten in two starts to date and on the back of game C&D triumph in the Oh So Sharp, with the promise of more improvement to come, she edges preference. Matrika's two-year-old season culminated in an impressive victory over 6f at the Curragh and she commands respect for the in-form Aidan O'Brien team. True Cyan made a pleasing start when running out a cosy winner of the same C&D maiden the stable's 2019 Nell Gwyn heroine Qabala took, and she completes the shortlist.

DANCE SEQUENCE has the scope to make a smart 3-y-o and is already proven at this level/track having won the Oh So Sharp Stakes over C&D in the autumn, so she can cement her placing as one of the favourites for the 1000 Guineas. Matrika picked up a weak Group 2 at the Curragh when last seen but she escapes a penalty and the form of her second in the Albany the previous week makes her a clear next best. True Cyan has plenty of improvement to find but did the job nicely on debut here in September.

Dance Sequence and Matrika are the big players on ratings, but preference is for TRUE CYAN who has major potential.

16:10 Newmarket Maiden (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

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

In a wide-open affair where perhaps the betting will be the best guide, 360,000-euro purchase TEQUILA gets a tentative vote to get off the mark at the first time of asking. The daughter of Siyouni represents connections who are no strangers to success with newcomers and, with Dominic Ffrench Davis operating at a 25% strike-rate with two-year-old runners this season, she shades preference. The booking of William Buick for Bountiful catches the eye and it would be no shock if she were able to put up a bold showing on debut, while Memardee represents the in-form Alice Haynes yard and also warrants respect.

TEQUILA was the most expensive of these at the sales and represents last year's winning connections, so gets the vote before market clues. Lucid comes from a yard that has an excellent record in this so is shortlisted, while Bountiful and Amestris both have eye-catching jockey bookings.

There are plenty of interesting types among this sizeable field of debutantes. First choice is TEQUILA, ahead of Bountiful.

1	3 1st (3) (6/1 -20%) Bolsena		6 6/1(-20%)																															(3) Bolsena 6/1, Fair form when second on 1m Haydock debut last September. Has had possible excuses for her 2 subsequent defeats, shaping as if the outing was possibly needed (travelled well) when fifth on last month's 1m Newcastle reappearance. Ryan Moore takes the ride. Sets the standard on her debut effort (good ground); less effective on soft/AW since.
2	9 2nd (9) (9/1 +10%) Mallavelly		9 9/1(+10%)																															(9) Mallavelly 9/1, Showed ability in 2 outings over 7f here last autumn and her pedigree points to her going on to better things as a 3-y-o. Didn't live up to her 500,000gns price tag in two races here last autumn.
3	1 3rd (1) (3/1 +14%) Aurora's Beauty		3 3/1(+14%)																															(1) Aurora's Beauty 3/1, 9/2, fourth of 10 in novice at Wolverhampton (7f) on debut 79 days ago. Likely improver for top yard which won this last year. Nicely bred filly who should improve on her Wolverhampton debut effort.
4	10 4th (10) (15/2 -36%) Miss Justice		7.5 15/2(-36%)																															(10) Miss Justice 15/2, €120,000 Justify filly. Half-sister to French 1¼m winner Muntjac. Dam unraced sister to smart winner up to 11f Timepiece. Debutante from a leading stable which has won this twice in recent years. 120,000euros yearling; by Justify; stable has good record in this race.
5th	13 5th (13) (18/1 -29%) Taramasalata		18 18/1(-29%)																															(13) Taramasalata 18/1, Too Darn Hot filly. Closely related to useful 7f winner Diavolo. Dam 9f-1½m winner. Looks the yard first string on jockey bookings but the betting should reveal more. Filly by Too Darn Hot out of a Group 1 winner; heed the market signals.
6th	8 6th (8) (25/1 -79%) Lake Teo		25 25/1(-79%)																															(8) Lake Teo 25/1, 110,000 gns Teofilo filly. The betting should help guide to expectations with this one. 110,000gns yearling; by Teofilo; market instructive.
7th	7 7th (7) (7/1 -40%) Hillbridge		7 7/1(-40%)																															(7) Hillbridge 7/1, Frankel filly. Dam, 6f winner who stayed 1m, half-sister to US Grade 1 1m (including Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf) winner Newspaperofrecord. Very interesting runner. Juddmonte filly by Frankel out of a 6f Listed winner; respected debutante.
8th	4 8th (4) (80/1 -220%) Breckenridge		80 80/1(-220%)																															(4) Breckenridge 80/1, 28/1, fourth of 6 in novice at Windsor (1m, good to firm) on debut last October. Will need to leave that bare form well behind. Pedigree suggests she may not fully blossom until sent over longer trips.
9th	5 9th (5) (150/1 -200%) Glimpse The Moon		150 150/1(-200%)																															(5) Glimpse The Moon 150/1, 33/1, seventh of 8 in maiden at Kempton (1m) on debut. Off 7 months. Can only watch. Soundly beaten at Kempton on sole 2yo run; others preferred.
10th	2 10th (2) (33/1 -32%) Blue Akoya		33 33/1(-32%)																															(2) Blue Akoya 33/1, Some promise in 2 outings for Ralph Beckett last autumn but will need to raise her game to go close on her return for a new yard. Looks the type to do better when handicapping; debut for new yard.
11th	12 11th (12) (4/1 +38%) Poetic Dawn		4 4/1(+38%)																															(12) Poetic Dawn 4/1, New Approach filly. William Buick on yard's other runner but this one still needs monitoring closely in the betting. Debutante who may need further; William Buick prefers Aurora's Beauty.
12th	6 12th (6) (9/1 -50%) Hey Big Spender		9 9/1(-50%)																															(6) Hey Big Spender 9/1, Lope De Vega filly. Sister to 1m winner Peace Offering. Newcomer from a leading stable. Would enter the reckoning if the betting suggests she's fancied. Couple of G1 winners on dam's side; major stable; interesting newcomer.

16:45 Newmarket Maiden (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Ryan Moore is an eye-catching booking on the standard bearer in this contest, Bolsena, and she warrants plenty of respect, but could come out second best to newcomer HILLBRIDGE. Andrew Balding's filly boasts a striking pedigree and she is closely related to Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies winner Newspaperofrecord, so it would be no surprise to see her make an impression on debut. Aurora's Beauty should improve from her fourth at Wolverhampton and she completes the shortlist.

A chance is taken on newcomer HILLBRIDGE, who makes plenty of paper appeal being by Frankel and out of a listed winner. Charlie Appleby won this last year and Aurora's Beauty, the mount of William Buick from the yard's pair, appeals as one who should take a step forward from her debut. Miss Justice, Hey Big Spender and Poetic Dawn are other likely types among the debutantes in a contest where the betting should reveal more clues.

Some of the debutantes are very interesting, most notably MISS JUSTICE. Second choice is Hillbridge.

1	10 1st (10) (11/2 -10%) Kalpana		5.5 11/2(-10%)																															(10) Kalpana 11/2, Overcame inexperience to make a winning debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in January and improved in face of sterner assignment when second at Newcastle (1m) 6 weeks ago. This longer trip promises to suit and she's another to note on turf/handicap debut for excellent yard. 1st and a good 2nd in two AW runs; looks set for better still with today's step up in trip.
2	9 2nd (9) (10/3 +39%) Align The Stars		3.333333 10/3(+39%)																															(9) Align The Stars 10/3, Sea The Stars colt. Finished runner-up first 2 starts and shaped better than bare result when fourth at Chelmsford (10f) in November, running on late having been left poorly placed. Open to further improvement now handicapping back from 5 months off. This brother to Al Aasy (1m2f-1m5f; RPR 122) could be a major improver this term.
3	6 3rd (6) (20/1 -150%) Assailant		20 20/1(-150%)																															(6) Assailant 20/1, Confirmed debut promise when a good winner of a Wolverhampton novice (9.5f) in December and shaped as if better for the run when fourth of 5 in Kempton novice (11f) 5 weeks ago. Blinkers quickly reached for now handicapping but yard's runners always command utmost respect. Blinkers now; needs to resume improvement for this handicap debut but can't be ruled out.
4	1 4th (1) (20/1 -100%) Go Daddy		20 20/1(-100%)																															(1) Go Daddy 20/1, Well suited by step up to this sort of trip when winning 5-runner Nottingham nursery (10.2f, heavy) in October and similar form when 7 lengths fourth in French listed contest final start. Gelded ahead of return but he raced exclusively on soft/heavy as a juvenile. Possibly best held up; blew out on second start as 2yo but the others were progressive.
5th	4 5th (4) (5/2 +29%) Stormy Waves		2.5 5/2(+29%)																															(4) Stormy Waves 5/2, Dubawi gelding. Made frame all 3 starts in novice company at up to 1m and displayed a good attitude to get off the mark on nursery debut here (1m) 6 months ago, staying on to lead final strides. Should be even more to come now tackling 1¼m and lots to like for top stable. Much improved to win nursery here (1m, good to firm) in September, rallying extremely well.
6th	7 6th (7) (14/1 -40%) User Amistoso		14 14/1(-40%)																															(7) User Amistoso 14/1, Wootton Bassett colt who made the frame all 3 starts in maiden/novice company as a juvenile, keeping on for third in 13-runner contest at Beverley (7.4f) in August. Step up in trip may eke out some improvement now handicapping on return and another to monitor in the betting. Work to do off this opening mark but likely to stay 1m2f and should have more to give.
7th	5 7th (5) (15/2 +6%) Victory Shout		7.5 15/2(+6%)																															(5) Victory Shout 15/2, Made it third time lucky in novice company at Carlisle (1m, good to firm) in September but found out in Group 3 here on final outing later that month. Very much bred to be suited by this trip and in very good hands so worth noting if the market speaks in his favour on return/handicap bow. 9l winner at Carlisle (1m) third start, before last of 12 when 16-1 for Group 3 here (7f).
8th	2 8th (2) (12/1 +0%) Ambiente Amigo		12 12/1(+0%)																															(2) Ambiente Amigo 12/1, Postponed filly who was progressive in maiden/novice company, making it 2 wins from first 3 starts at Lingfield (1m, AW) in September. Faced stiff task in Fillies' Mile final start but switch to handicaps/step up in trip promises to suit on return having joined James Owen. Hood on 1st time. Last in Group 1 Fillies' Mile here; left Michael Bell; settling her is key and now hooded.
9th	8 9th (8) (15/2 -25%) Bust A Move		7.5 15/2(-25%)																															(8) Bust A Move 15/2, Caught the eye when third at York in October and relished the increase in trip when landing 6-runner nursery here (9f, heavy) on final start in November. Highly promising comeback run when second behind another progressive sort at Doncaster (10.2f) 24 days ago and he's of interest. Won here (1m1f, heavy) final 2yo start and good 2nd at Doncaster (1m2f, soft) last month.

17:20 Newmarket Handicap (Class 3) 10f Race Class Flow

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

KALPANA got up to score on her debut despite showing plenty of inexperience, and she backed up that performance with an encouraging second under a penalty at Newcastle last time. The daughter of Study Of Man has shaped as if she would improve for this step up in distance and she can defy her opening mark of 78 under Ryan Moore. Stormy Waves signed off last year's campaign with a victory in a nursery over a mile and he is one to take seriously off a 5lb higher mark. Victory Shout and Align The Stars are others to watch out for.

This looks a 3-y-o handicap to note and the market should prove informative with a few but Northern raider BUST A MOVE impressed with the move he made into contention when chasing home another upwardly-mobile sort on his return at Doncaster and could be worth siding with to prove his mark a lenient one. Stormy Waves looks sure to be suited by this increase in trip on return and is feared. Kalpana, and Assailant, equipped with first-time blinkers, are others to note.

Stormy Waves and Bust A Move have to be shortlisted but the best two options might be KALPANA and Align The Stars.

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.
