CHANGING COLOURS and KERDOS look like the most promising horses based on their past performances and potential for improvement. Ferrous, Pinafore, and Yacowlef also merit consideration.

Shouldvebeenaring kept on for second over 6f at Newcastle on his latest outing earlier this month, but he makes his handicap debut off top-weight here and could struggle with that in mind. Therefore, it may pay to side with ONCE MORE FOR LUCK, who was last seen finishing seven and three-quarter lengths behind Blackbeard in the Group 1 Middle Park Stakes over C&D last September. Bluelight Bay contested much hotter races last summer and is another to bear in mind on his return, along with Changing Colours.

KERDOS looks a useful sprinter in the making and should be spot on after last month's fine Lingfield reappearance. He gets the nod in what looks a competitive opener. Pinafore and Changing Colours head the list of dangers.

Godolphin's CHANGING COLOURS (nap) is open to plenty of improvement in this 3yo campaign and he is the pick ahead of Grace Angel.

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

It is difficult to predict which horse will do well based solely on this summary as there is limited information provided. However, some of the horses with noteworthy backgrounds and close relations to successful runners include Syllabus, Mighty Nebula, and Tribute. Additionally, the fact that the yards won this race in previous years may be a positive sign for their entries. Ultimately, it is important to consider additional factors such as current form, training, and race conditions when making predictions.

A half-brother to Listed-placed filly Sound Angela, New Business makes plenty of appeal on paper and the fact he cost 240,000gns as a yearling must make him of additional interest on his racecourse debut. Nonetheless, KATHAB's dam is a half-sister to dual Group 3 winner Chrysanthemum and the gelded son of Kingman must hold every chance of being in the mix. Others worthy of consideration include Enrico Caruso and Passenger for reputable stables.

The market should provide plenty of clues with no form to go on, but ENRICO CARUSO hails from a yard that has won the last 2 renewals of this maiden, so is an obvious place to start. The Simon & Ed Crisford stable has an excellent record with 3-y-o newcomers so Penzance and Tribute are other likely types.

John & Thady Gosden have won the last two runnings and the well-bred ENRICO CARUSO is taken to make it three in a row for the stable.

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

Based on the summary provided, Creative Force seems to be the one to beat with a strong record in top sprints and a perfect record over the course and distance. Garrus and Jumby also have promising records and could be each-way players, while Tiber Flow and Silky Wilkie may struggle in this class. Commanche Falls had a disappointing reappearance, and Saint Lawrence likely faces a big challenge after a long absence.

CREATIVE FORCE makes his return to action following a far from disgraced third in a Grade 1 at Keeneland over an extended 5f last November and he must hold every chance. He was Group 1-placed behind Kinross in the British Champions Sprint Stakes at Ascot on his penultimate outing and has proven to run well fresh in the past. Jumby landed a Group 2 at Newbury last August and could bounce back from his most recent runs off a break. Ehraz is another to bear in mind.

Provided he is fully tuned-up, CREATIVE FORCE will prove hard to beat for his powerful, in-form connections. The 5-y-o failed to add to his tally in 2022 but performed with plenty of credit in four of the hottest sprints of the season and this should serve as the perfect springboard for a return to Group 1 company soon enough. Garrus, who was only just denied in this race 12 months ago, is second choice ahead of Ehraz and Jumby.

This looks a good opportunity for CREATIVE FORCE on his return to action. Garrus also has a good run in him.

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

It is difficult to definitively predict which horse will do well based on this summary as each has their own strengths and potential. However, the Mysterious Night and The Foxes colts seem to have solid records and are expected to improve, while Mostabshir and Ancestral Land are described as having lots more to offer and progressing with each run. Mr Mistoffelees may struggle in a tougher field. Ultimately, it will depend on the specific race and conditions on the day.

Mysterious Night was the choice of William Buick over stable companion Naval Power, before the latter was declared a non-runner, and the son of Dark Angel was a Grade 1 winner at Woodbine in September when tackling a mile for the first time. The dry forecast will aid his cause on his first run since and he warrants serious consideration. Mostabshir comes from a family connections know well, especially his half-sister Nazeef, a two-time Group 1 heroine, but he may need more time to come to himself and the vote goes to the Royal Lodge winner THE FOXES. Considered good enough to run in the Chesham at Royal Ascot, having shaped with promise on debut at Newbury, he was given time to recover before winning a Goodwood maiden and backed that up over C&D in a contest run at a slow pace. The form has worked out well, with the runner-up winning a Group 1 in France and the third landing the Zetland, and conditions are unlikely to faze him.

Charlie Appleby has an excellent record in the Craven and again looks to hold sway with his MYSTERIOUS NIGHT, who won at Woodbine when last seen and could have more to offer over 1m. Royal Lodge victor The Foxes and Mostabshir should ensure this is no one-horse race however.

Charlie Appleby and William Buick have teamed up to win three of the last four runnings and they combine with MYSTERIOUS NIGHT.

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

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well based on this summary, but Britannica, Time's Eye, Decipher, and Queens Award are all mentioned as appealing newcomers to watch for in the betting. Prepense and Shoolaa are mentioned as potential improvers, while Awtaar may struggle against stronger competition. Willow Tree is not given a clear likelihood of success but may be worth paying attention to based on the yard's recent performance.

Time's Eye (second) and BRITANNICA (fifth) were closely matched over C&D in October, with the front five horses on that occasion covered by just-three quarters of a length. The former had improved from her debut effort at Salisbury, when just headed in the dying strides by a filly who contests the Nell Gwyn on Wednesday, but the latter, who was making her debut, is expected to know more this time and holds every chance of reversing that form. Spring Dawn will likely prove popular on debut for top connections, while any market support for Decipher would make her very much of interest.

PREPENSE produced a very promising debut effort when runner-up behind subsequent Fillies' Mile heroine Commissioning here last summer and, whilst she couldn't build on that at Chester, there's a good chance she can get back on the up following a wind op. Time's Eye, runner-up in a C&D event in the autumn and Britannica (narrowly behind her) can emerge as the chief threats, whilst Spring Dawn is a newcomer to note.

Slight preference among those who have run is for BRITANNICA who made her debut when Time's Eye finished narrowly ahead in October.

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

Based on the information provided, it seems that Liberty Lane and Majestic Warrior are the most promising horses. Both won their debut races and are expected to improve in their next outings. Quantum Cat and Prince Maxi are also worth keeping an eye on as they are described as promising types, with Quantum Cat having won his debut race and Prince Maxi being a 160,000 gns yearling with a strong pedigree.

Given he holds entries in both the English and Irish Derby's, LIBERTY LANE currently looks to be one of the flag bearers for Karl Burke's three-year-old colts this season. The son of Teofilo impressed with a five-length success on his sole start as a juvenile and while that form has taken a few subsequent knocks, this fellow still has bags of potential and is a highly appealing option on his reappearance. All-weather scorers Majestic Warrior and Quantum Cat rate as the pick of today's opposition.

LIBERTY LANE looked a very good prospect when making a winning debut at Nottingham in the autumn and a couple of Group 1 entries suggest he's been showing all the right signs at home. A successful reappearance is therefore a distinct possibility, for all there's plenty of depth to this novice with Quantum Cat and Majestic Warrior also unbeaten and likely to improve plenty.

Nottingham soft-ground winner LIBERTY LANE is the easiest to see in the same role today, with Majestic Warrior next best.

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

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will perform the best from this summary, as each horse has its own strengths and weaknesses. However, some horses that stand out as potential contenders are Harry Magnus, Naaser, Novus, and Rossmore Nation, all of whom have shown recent form and potential for improvement. Ultimately, handicapping races are often unpredictable, and any horse can surprise and win on the day.

HARRY MAGNUS has shaped well on the all-weather after undergoing surgery for a wind problem and having impressed with his attitude when he successfully stepped up to 7f at Kempton in January, he is taken to follow up on his turf return with a first-time tongue-tie applied. Monopolise, who won over C&D last autumn, is another serious contender after a respectable effort on the all-weather 15 days ago. Novus, Chartwell House and Havana Blue also warrant consideration.

The finale can go the way of HARRY MAGNUS, who got off the mark at Kempton earlier this year and remains capable of better now handicapping with a tongue tie added. Heading the list of dangers is Giant, whose runner-up effort at Kempton has been boosted by the third and fourth winning since, while Havana Blue and Naaser are two others who merit consideration.

There are several unexposed contenders to consider but LAND OF SUMMER is on a handy mark and is preferred to Giant.
