13:10 Newmarket (Class 2) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Zgharta is the clear form pick after her half-length second over a mile here on her return in April, but she is up against some well-bred newcomers. Dubawi filly Silent Love is well worth a market watch for Charlie Appleby, but a chance is taken on ZIVAH. A 300,000gns Lope De Vega filly, whose dam is a half-sister to Group 1 winner Dubai Mile, she may be the more forward of the two Gosdens' newcomers in action here.

Zgharta sets a good standard but the newcomers could still have a fair shout and PEARLA, one of those, receives a tentative vote.

13:45 Newmarket (Class 1) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Aurel was all out to win by a nose on his Kempton debut but he holds Classic entries and may have more to offer. Ernst Blofeld ran on strongly to break his duck at Kempton and is likely to be the best of the Gosdens' team in this line-up, but ALPINE TRAIL might be the one. Charlie Appleby's Dubawi colt is upped in class after wins at Wolverhampton and Yarmouth, coming clear each time, and any further improvement could see him land the hat-trick.

It makes most appeal to side with the Appleby colt ALPINE TRAIL who took charge so effectively in a novice at Yarmouth four weeks ago.

14:20 Newmarket (Class 1) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Pellitory caused a 25/1 surprise in a C&D conditions event on his return last month, but he is racing in Listed class now which he may not find as easy. Symbol Of Honour has won both starts in Dubai this year and tries the seventh furlong for the third time having weakened late on as a juvenile, which all points to the chances of COSMIC YEAR. An easy winner of both starts to date over this trip, he bypasses the 2000 Guineas for this easier contest and ought to reap the dividends.

Very promising COSMIC YEAR, who has sidestepped the 2,000 Guineas, is hard to oppose. Diego Ventura is second choice.

14:55 Newmarket (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Having proved too keen on his fourth-placed reappearance at Nottingham last month, HORNSEA BAY could be worth chancing with that run under his belt. An official rating of 88 on his handicap bow looks workable and his fitness could prove crucial. There are several interesting seasonal debutants on show, topped by Spectacular View, who did little wrong when runner-up in a decent novice at Kempton in December last year. Dante's Lad, Wild Nature and Brave Mission should have better days ahead too.

Judged on the strength of his novice form, SPECTACULAR VIEW is particularly interesting. Brave Mission is feared most.

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

Having ended his 2024 campaign with a a good third in an Italian Group 2, it will be interesting to see how Tarkhan fares in the betting on his stable bow for Jamie Osborne. The six-year-old shouldn't be underestimated reverting to handicap company, but FIFTY NIFTY rates as the most solid proposition. The four-year-old arrives on the back of a close-up second over C&D and a mere 2lb rise could prove to be lenient. Alzahir can make his presence felt too.

Aptly named FIFTY NIFTY (nap) looks set to record a fitting success in this "Nifty 50" race. Miss Information is second choice.

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

AMBIENTE FRIENDLY was undone by racing too keenly over a sharper trip on his seasonal/stable debut in the Earl Of Sefton last month. Considering he went on from the same fixture last year to win Lingfield's Derby Trial before a splendid second in the main event at Epsom, he can be forgiven that disappointing reappearance effort. The globetrotting Silver Knott is greatly feared after notching a fourth Group 2 success in the UAE in March. The John Porter winner Divina Grace can confirm her Newbury superiority over Bellum Justum.

The strongest contenders on the figures are 2024 Derby runner-up AMBIENTE FRIENDLY and very smart Silver Knott.

CIRCE looks well worth another try back over six furlongs for only the second time in her career. Rosy Affair, a winner on the July Course last June, is another obvious player given she could still be improving. Pearl Of Windsor struggled in a Listed race at Bath recently but is entitled to have come on for the run and can also have a big say.

Having done well in her first season of racing, ROSY AFFAIR is taken to make a winning return. Circe is feared most.

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.
