Sister to 2-y-o 6f winner Panarea and closely related to top-class winner up to 7f Pinatubo. Dam 1¼m-11f winner. Promising sort. 7/4, won 10-runner minor event at this course (5f, good) on debut 13 days ago, well on top finish. Likely to improve and much respected. Won easily on her 5f debut here a fortnight ago; sets a good standard under the penalty.
2	9 2nd (9) (7/1 +50%) New Charter	7 7/1(+50%)	(9) New Charter 7/1, (Production):first foal: dam, 1½m winner, closely related to smart 7f-1¼m winner Lay Time. First foal of Chartered, who won a middle-distance handicap as a 3yo; watch the market.

Sister to winner up to 1¼m Castlebar and winner up to 6f Napa Spirit. Dam, 8.4f-11f winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Yellow Rosebud. 140,000euros yearling; 2yos from this yard tend to improve with experience.

Third of 9 in minor event (3/1) at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm) on debut 26 days ago. Will improve. Shaped nicely after a slow start on 5f debut recently; should appreciate the stiffer test.

14:05 Newmarket Handicap (Class 3) 7f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (3/1 +25%) So Logical	3 3/1(+25%)	(7) So Logical 3/1, Fair form, winning a weak maiden with ease at Newcastle (7f) last month. Makes handicap debut. Won a weak fillies' maiden in taking style last time; still has potential now handicapping.
2	4 2nd (4) (9/2 +36%) Love Billy Boy	4.5 9/2(+36%)	(4) Love Billy Boy 9/2, Two encouraging efforts here this spring, going down only narrowly in a big field when stepped up to this trip for the first time at the Guineas meeting. Even a 4 lb rise may not stop him. Beaten a nose over C&D a fortnight ago; 4lb higher here and needs a bit more again.
3	6 3rd (6) (11/1 -83%) Miss Information	11 11/1(-83%)	(6) Miss Information 11/1, Made steady progress at 2, winning 6f Ascot novice (good to firm) in September and third in a competitive C&D nursery final start. Contender if fully tuned for her return. Steady progression last backend; there's other pace in here but she's respected.
4	2 4th (2) (4/1 +11%) Dashing Darcey	4 4/1(+11%)	(2) Dashing Darcey 4/1, Won a pair of 1m Lingfield novices on AW in December and has made a good start to his turf and handicap career when placed around 7f at Newbury and Chester in recent weeks. Should give another good account. This mark is within range and having experienced 3lb claimer Aidan Keeley up won't hurt.
5th	5 5th (5) (3/1 +14%) Gressington	3 3/1(+14%)	(5) Gressington 3/1, Plenty of promise in novice events over 7f, even allowing he was turned over at short odds on his Southwell reappearance 39 days ago. Appeals as one who can go on to better things in handicaps. All the rage (30-100) ahead of his Tapeta novice comeback, when looking to have no excuses.
6th	3 6th (3) (25/1 +0%) Venture Capital	25 25/1(+0%)	(3) Venture Capital 25/1, Progressive at 2 yrs, winning 7f novices at Newcastle. Faded into eighth stepped up to 1m on Musselburgh handicap debut/reappearance and connections waste no time returning him to 7f. Showed little on his 1m Musselburgh comeback (good to soft); not obviously fancied.
7th	1 7th (1) (7/1 -40%) Serene Seraph	7 7/1(-40%)	(1) Serene Seraph 7/1, Won in the mud at Newbury last autumn but well held in a 6f course listed race on final start. Tough to argue her opening mark looks generous. Needs more again now handicapping back from an absence but that wouldn't be a surprise.

2	9 2nd (9) (13/2 +7%) Gorak	6.5 13/2(+7%)	(9) Gorak 13/2 7f specialist; respectable fourth over C&D in April, leading; solid win-and-place option.
3	10 3rd (10) (4/1 -20%) Divine Libra	4 4/1(-20%)	(10) Divine Libra 4/1 Clearcut Chester win was career best; may not have reached his ceiling just yet.
4	7 4th (7) (11/2 +39%) Rainbow Fire	5.5 11/2(+39%)	(7) Rainbow Fire 11/2 Arrives here fit and in form and should be in the thick of things again.
5th	13 5th (13) (10/1 +29%) Darkness	10 10/1(+29%)	(13) Darkness 10/1 Leniently treated, and shaped well when sixth at the Guineas meeting; might be the answer.
6th	8 6th (8) (14/1 -56%) Koy Koy	14 14/1(-56%)	(8) Koy Koy 14/1 No joy in Meydan early this year but a threat if bouncing back to his best after a break.
7th	11 7th (11) (10/1 -18%) Summerghand	10 10/1(-18%)	(11) Summerghand 10/1 Splendid veteran; capable of going close but has done virtually all his racing at 6f.
8th	3 8th (3) (8/1 -23%) Quinault	8 8/1(-23%)	(3) Quinault 8/1 Had remarkable 2023, winning seven times; must resume progress but not dismissed lightly.
9th	2 9th (2) (28/1 -40%) Make Me King	28 28/1(-40%)	(2) Make Me King 28/1 Campaigned in France and UAE until today; looks to have share of weight on handicap debut.
10th	1 10th (1) (12/1 +33%) Saint Lawrence	12 12/1(+33%)	(1) Saint Lawrence 12/1 Last year's Wokingham winner; seventh over C&D last time; probably best opposed again.
11th	4 11th (4) (11/1 -22%) Desert Cop	11 11/1(-22%)	(4) Desert Cop 11/1 Up 5lb for win here last time; possibilities again although longer trip not sure to suit.
12th	14 12th (14) (25/1 -14%) Final Watch	25 25/1(-14%)	(14) Final Watch 25/1 Had excuses over C&D first time out; often goes well here; makes some each-way appeal.
13th	6 13th (6) (50/1 -100%) Imperial Fighter	50 50/1(-100%)	(6) Imperial Fighter 50/1 0-12 since debut; well handicapped if recent change of yard sparks a revival.
14th	12 14th (12) (16/1 -14%) Quest For Fun	16 16/1(-14%)	(12) Quest For Fun 16/1 Loves the mud; faded over 1m last time and should be suited by this drop back in trip.
15th	15 15th (15) (40/1 -82%) Chola Empire	40 40/1(-82%)	(15) Chola Empire 40/1 Races mainly on AW; has enough to prove on turf and from out of the handicap.

2	11 2nd (11) (9/2 +59%) Zozimus	4.5 9/2(+59%)	(11) Zozimus 9/2 Consistent but 1-34 and likely more a place than win contender yet again.

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.
