13:40 Newmarket Handicap (Class 5) 6f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (9/1 -13%) Epic Express	9 9/1(-13%)	(8) Epic Express 9/1, Has edged down to a handy mark and wasn't seen to best effect when fifth at Chelmsford last time. Not taken lightly with cheekpieces refitted. None too consistent on AW since last July; not sure what to expect.
2	2 2nd (2) (4/1 -60%) Society Lion	4 4/1(-60%)	(2) Society Lion 4/1, Looked back to his best when scoring at Thirsk in April and easily excused a lesser effort at Leicester subsequently. Remains well treated on old form, so he's worth chancing. Had an excuse last time; better judged on Thirsk success earlier in April.
3	6 3rd (6) (4.5/1 +59%) Airshow	4.5 4.5/1(+59%)	(6) Airshow 4.5/1, Latest win at Southwell in March. Below form both starts since, markedly so at Salisbury on latest, so others make more appeal. Effective on turf but form dipped when returned to this sphere last time.
4	4 4th (4) (8/1 +11%) Regal Envoy	8 8/1(+11%)	(4) Regal Envoy 8/1, Fairly useful at best for Clive Cox and, while he ended his time for that stable out of sorts, he's been gelded ahead of this return and is worth monitoring in the betting. Competitively weighted off last winning mark; debut for new stable.
5th	10 5th (10) (20/1 +39%) Company Minx	20 20/1(+39%)	(10) Company Minx 20/1, Back to form when scoring at Kempton in April but has failed to beat a rival in two subsequent outings. Up against it. 50-1 success off 12lb higher in this race in 2021; however, hard to predict.
6th	5 6th (5) (6/1 -20%) Wiseacre	6 6/1(-20%)	(5) Wiseacre 6/1, Returned with a solid showing at Wolverhampton in March and didn't have much go right at Chelmsford on only subsequent outing. Likely to bounce back and deserves some respect. 0-7; best to forgive latest effort; has some encouraging form otherwise.
7th	9 7th (9) (9/1 -29%) Sir Rodneyredblood	9 9/1(-29%)	(9) Sir Rodneyredblood 9/1, Won twice in March and shaped as if still in top form when runner-up at Lingfield last month. Turf record is uninspiring but his mark reflects that. Well treated if transferring recent AW form back to turf.
8th	7 8th (7) (11/1 +21%) Media Guest	11 11/1(+21%)	(7) Media Guest 11/1, Fairly useful handicapper at best but out of sorts this term and others make more appeal. Sole success came in 2021 and he's not solid on this year's form.
9th	1 9th (1) (7/1 +42%) Prince Of Bel Lir	7 7/1(+42%)	(1) Prince Of Bel Lir 7/1, 50/1, last of 19 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, heavy) 47 days ago. Now below last winning mark but not threatening to capitalise. Now 4lb lower than last winning mark and drops back in grade; revival possible.
10th	3 10th (3) (12/1 -71%) Dynamic Talent	12 12/1(-71%)	(3) Dynamic Talent 12/1, Won three times last year and took a step back in the right direction when sixth at Chelmsford last time. On a fair mark and could make his presence felt. Has possibilities if taking well to this different scenario (drops to 6f, rare turf start).

LTO Selection:

13:40 Newmarket Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

DYNAMIC TALENT's stamina appeared stretched by a mile at Chelmsford last month and he may be worth chancing now dropped in trip. Society Lion could have been feeling the exertions of his triumph at Thirsk when finishing down the field seven days later at Leicester in April and a return to form looks a distinct possibility. Sir Rodneyredblood is best known for his exploits on the all-weather, but he also enters the reckoning now operating off a significantly lower mark in this sphere, despite being 5lb out of the handicap.

SOCIETY LION scored with something to spare at Thirsk on his penultimate outing and his next outing at Leicester is easily excused, so he's well worth another chance. Wiseacre looks the main danger and Sir Rodneyredblood is worthy of interest from a lower turf mark.

Solid propositions are thin on the ground, for various reasons. WISEACRE is the suggestion, with Dynamic Talent second choice.

14:15 Newmarket Maiden (Class 4) 10f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (5/1 +38%) Davideo	5 5/1(+38%)	(2) Davideo 5/1, Bred to be useful and improved markedly from his debut when runner-up at Kempton 6 months ago. Type to better still, particularly with the extra distance to suit, so looks a player. Ran well from the front at Kempton when last seen; one of the main form contenders.
2	11 2nd (11) (3.6/1 +55%) Vaguely Royal	3.6 3.6/1(+55%)	(11) Vaguely Royal 3.6/1, Bred in the purple and offered plenty to work on when third of 7 in maiden at Yarmouth (8f, good to firm) on debut in September. In good hands and looks a likely improver this season. Galileo colt whose sole 2yo effort (at Yarmouth) has substance; interesting contender.
3	6 3rd (6) (100/1 -100%) Mythical Guest	100 100/1(-100%)	(6) Mythical Guest 100/1, Half-brother to several winners and showed some ability at Yarmouth first time out. Might be more of a handicap type, however. Finished 3l behind Savanna King at Yarmouth; needs to improve.
4	9 4th (9) (14/1 -115%) Sniper's Eye	14 14/1(-115%)	(9) Sniper's Eye 14/1, Quite an expensive purchase from the Breeze-Ups and started nicely under a considerate ride when fourth in a Wolverhampton maiden 4 months ago. One to consider. Encouraging debut at Wolverhampton in January; gelded since; open to progress.
5th	10 5th (10) (2.5/1 +38%) Syllabus	2.5 2.5/1(+38%)	(10) Syllabus 2.5/1, Sea The Stars who shaped well amidst inexperience when fourth here a month ago. Should build on that but has a bit to find with a couple of these rivals. Sea The Stars colt who showed clear promise in the Wood Ditton here last month; respected.
6th	8 6th (8) (18/1 -50%) Savanna King	18 18/1(-50%)	(8) Savanna King 18/1, Well related and shaped with some encouragement when fifth at Yarmouth on debut. Longer trip will suit and he's open to improvement, so not a forlorn hope. Roaring Lion colt who should improve on his Yarmouth debut effort; one to consider.
7th	4 7th (4) (2.25/1 -29%) Hidden Story	2.25 2.25/1(-29%)	(4) Hidden Story 2.25/1, Expensive son of Dubawi who just failed to make a winning start at Nottingham and looks capable of going one better with progress on the cards. Dubawi gelding who made a promising debut at Nottingham, battling on well; leading player.
8th	12 8th (12) (150/1 -127%) Plus Point	150 150/1(-127%)	(12) Plus Point 150/1, Hasn't shown enough in two starts to date to think she can feature in this. Down the field in a couple of 1m events at Yarmouth.
9th	13 9th (13) (80/1 -220%) Portraitist	80 80/1(-220%)	(13) Portraitist 80/1, £20,000 yearling, Awtaad filly. Closely related to 1m-1½m winner Cape Freedom and half-sister to 1¼m-1½m winner Lyrical Attraction and 1¼m winner Classical Memories. £20,000 yearling; by Awtaad; market can guide.
10th	3 10th (3) (14/1 -27%) Dubawi Warrior	14 14/1(-27%)	(3) Dubawi Warrior 14/1, Dubawi colt. Half-brother to useful winner up to 1m Al Mubhir. Dam smart winner up to 9f (2-y-o 7f winner). Makes appeal on pedigree. Dubawi colt who is related to two winners for these connections; the pick of the newcomers.
11th	1 11th (1) (80/1 -264%) Cosmic View	80 80/1(-264%)	(1) Cosmic View 80/1, Stepped forward from debut when fifth in a novice at Lingfield recently but will need more marked improvement if he's to open his account at the first attempt. Fared better on AW last time; needs further progress back on turf.
12th	5 12th (5) (66/1 -136%) Manxman	66 66/1(-136%)	(5) Manxman 66/1, 200,000 gns yearling, Cracksman colt. Half-brother to high-class winner up to 1¼m Dubai Honour. Low-key debut at Kempton 6 months ago and might be brought along gradually. Well behind Davideo at Kempton on sole 2yo start; gelded since.
13th	7 13th (7) (150/1 -200%) New York Bay	150 150/1(-200%)	(7) New York Bay 150/1, €12,000 foal, £15,000 2-y-o, New Bay gelding. Half-brother to 2-y-o 6f winner Klosters. Dam, ran once, out of French/US 9f-11f winner Snow Polina, including Grade 1 9.5f event. £15,000 2yo; by New Bay; probably best watched on debut.

LTO Selection:

14:15 Newmarket Maiden (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

There was plenty of encouragement to be gleaned from HIDDEN STORY's debut second at Nottingham last month and he may have enough improvement in him to land this contest. Syllabus is another who should have learned a lot from his initial bid when finishing fourth over a mile at this venue in April, with a better showing possible now stepped up in distance. The returning Davideo could also have more to offer this season and completes the shortlist.

HIDDEN STORY ran a big race when narrowly denied at Nottingham first time out and, at a track where his stable boasts an excellent record, he takes preference over Davideo, who improved markedly when second at Kempton.

Most of the once-raced contenders are interesting types. First choice is SYLLABUS, ahead of Hidden Story.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (5.5/1 -38%) Honiton	5.5 5.5/1(-38%)	(2) Honiton 5.5/1, Off the mark in a Sandown maiden last June, but then met trouble when down the field in Golden Gates Handicap at Royal Ascot a week later. Was subsequently absent for 11 months, unable to handle conditions at Goodwood (9.9f, heavy) 13 days ago. This run should reveal more. Remains of interest judged on his maiden/novice form, which stacks up very well.
2	1 2nd (1) (4.5/1 +18%) Misty Dancer	4.5 4.5/1(+18%)	(1) Misty Dancer 4.5/1, Landed a Goodwood maiden in August last year and also scored in handicaps at Ayr and Newbury on her next 2 starts. Travelled well for a long way in listed company at Doncaster (10.2f, heavy) on final outing of 2022, before possibly needing the run at Nottingham 17 days ago. Held in Listed grade the last twice; 2-2 in handicaps, both against her own sex.
3	6 3rd (6) (4.5/1 +0%) Qaasid	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(6) Qaasid 4.5/1, In a change of headgear, produced a career best when winning at Newcastle (10.2f) in February and has continued in good heart in the visor since, placing on all three subsequent outings. Respected in his current form as he returns to the turf. Fairly useful on AW; 0-8 on turf and 13lb higher than last attempt in this sphere.
4	3 4th (3) (2.75/1 +0%) Dual Identity	2.75 2.75/1(+0%)	(3) Dual Identity 2.75/1, Improved throughout last year, finishing first home on his side in the Cambridgeshire at this course in September. It then might have been one outing too many when below form here the following month, and shaped as if needing the run on his return 13 days ago. Leading contender. Largely progressive in 2022; not disgraced in good handicap here on reappearance.
5th	5 5th (5) (25/1 -56%) Howth	25 25/1(-56%)	(5) Howth 25/1, Better than ever at only the second time of asking for his current yard when runner-up at Chelmsford (1m2f) in November. Subsequently off for 6 months and possibly needed the run when eleventh at this course 13 days ago. Needs to resume his progress. Chance depends on how well he responds to gelding operation and first-time hood.
6th	4 6th (4) (2.5/1 +25%) Simply Sondheim	2.5 2.5/1(+25%)	(4) Simply Sondheim 2.5/1, Enjoyed a most productive campaign sent handicapping in 2022, completing a six-timer with success here in August. Back on track when adding to his tally at Kempton on his return and again ran well when second at Chelmsford last time. Not dismissed lightly. Big improver who is 7-9 in handicaps and 4-4 in 1m1f/1m2f contests on turf; respected.

LTO Selection:

14:50 Newmarket Handicap (Class 3) 10f Race Class Flow

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

DUAL IDENTITY was a progressive type last season and didn't run too badly when seventh on his comeback here earlier in the month. William Knight's gelding enjoys a 2lb drop in the handicap for that effort and he's now only 2lb higher than his cracking third in last year's Cambridgeshire. He should take some stopping, with Misty Dancer feared most now returned to handicap company, ahead of the in-form duo of Simply Sondheim and Qaasid.

DUAL IDENTITY won a pair of handicaps last year before running a big race when third in the Cambridgeshire here in September, finishing first home on his side, so he is taken to resume winning ways with his reappearance run behind him. Qaasid has been in good form on the all-weather and could be the main danger, ahead of Simply Sondheim.

Another chance is given to HONITON. Simply Sondheim is feared most, ahead of Dual Identity.

15:25 Newmarket Handicap (Class 3) 14f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (2.5/1 -25%) Adjuvant	2.5 2.5/1(-25%)	(2) Adjuvant 2.5/1, Produced a career best after 7 months off when second of 16 in a C&D handicap (soft) 12 days ago, doing well considering he came from slightly further back than the winner. Still lightly raced at this sort of trip and looks sure to go well. Went close in C&D handicap on reappearance; future mark 2lb higher; strongly respected.
2	9 2nd (9) (3.33/1 +49%) Pons Aelius	3.33 3.33/1(+49%)	(9) Pons Aelius 3.33/1, Successful 4 times during a busy 2022, culminating in success in London Stayers' Final at Kempton (2m) in December. Solid return to turf when third at Ripon in April and posted another creditable effort when fifth at Hamilton (13.1f) since. Creditable efforts at Ripon and Hamilton the last twice; in decent form.
3	1 3rd (1) (7.5/1 -7%) Saratoga Gold	7.5 7.5/1(-7%)	(1) Saratoga Gold 7.5/1, Four-time winner in 2022 who signed off with a good fourth in handicap at Goodwood (12f) in October. Has won off a break so he can't be discounted on his seasonal return. May resume his progress in the retained blinkers, granted good/faster ground.
4	4 4th (4) (10/1 -67%) Prince Alex	10 10/1(-67%)	(4) Prince Alex 10/1, Has a good strike rate and shaped as if better for the run after 11 months off on first outing since leaving John Patrick Murtagh when fourth of 10 in handicap at Newbury (16.5f, heavy) 28 days ago. Has dropped to a handy mark and one to consider with that under his belt. Interesting back down in trip on second start for new yard; on a handy mark.
5th	6 5th (6) (9/1 +25%) First Emperor	9 9/1(+25%)	(6) First Emperor 9/1, Had been running consistently well on the all-weather and shaped as if still in good form back on turf when eighth of 16 in handicap at this C&D (soft) 12 days ago, left poorly placed after a slow start. Held by Adjuvant on C&D running last time and yet to win on turf.
6th	7 6th (7) (4/1 +33%) Australian Angel	4 4/1(+33%)	(7) Australian Angel 4/1, Won 3 times in 2022 and probably needed the run when fourth in 6-runner handicap at Ripon (12f, heavy) on reappearance 20 days ago. Not dismissed with this step back up in trip sure to suit. Generally progressive last term; below par on reappearance but should bounce back.
7th	8 7th (8) (14/1 -40%) Udaberri	14 14/1(-40%)	(8) Udaberri 14/1, Is threatening to come good soon, making a promising move into contention from a poor position when third in 8-runner handicap at Kempton (12f) 16 days ago. Unproven at this trip but still has to enter calculations back on turf. Each-way possibilities, provided he's as effective back up in distance.
8th	5 8th (5) (28/1 -100%) Aced It	28 28/1(-100%)	(5) Aced It 28/1, Latest win in 2m handicap at Kempton in January. Out of his depth in All-Weather Marathon Championships at Newcastle on most recent outing. Faced with a more suitable assignment now back on turf. 2-16 on AW; only 1-14 on turf and others look better treated.
9th	3 9th (3) (22/1 -38%) Solo Saxophone	22 22/1(-38%)	(3) Solo Saxophone 22/1, Bounced back to form when landing a couple of a small-field Worcester handicap hurdles last summer. Creditable efforts next 2 outings and now returns to the Flat after 6 months off. Has gone well fresh before. 2-2 at this course but those wins came over 2m; drop back to 1m6f not ideal.

LTO Selection:

15:25 Newmarket Handicap (Class 3) 14f Race Class Flow

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

Andrew Balding has won this race twice in the past three years and looks to have another lively chance with AUSTRALIAN ANGEL. She was a respectable fourth on her seasonal reappearance at Ripon on ground softer than ideal and now back up in trip she makes most appeal. Adjuvant was narrowly denied over C&D at the Guineas meeting here earlier this month and must have claims off the same mark, while Saratoga Gold is likely to be thereabouts having won on his first start last year.

ADJUVANT produced a career best on his seasonal debut when just touched off over C&D 12 days ago, a performance which can be marked up a shade having come from slightly further back than the winner in a race where it proved hard to make up ground from midfield or further back. He therefore makes plenty of appeal, especially from the same mark. Of the opposition, Prince Alex should strip fitter for his reappearance, while Australian Angel will benefit from this return to further.

Preference is for ADJUVANT (nap), who ran well in a higher grade over C&D on 1,000 Guineas day. Prince Alex is second choice.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (2/1 +56%) Quddwah	2 2/1(+56%)	(1) Quddwah 2/1, Kingman colt who overcame inexperience to make a winning debut in 7f novice at Salisbury 15 days ago, edging ahead final 50 yds. Sure to improve. Stuck on well to make a winning debut at Salisbury; leading player under 7lb penalty.
2	7 2nd (7) (4/1 +11%) Theatre Honours	4 4/1(+11%)	(7) Theatre Honours 4/1, Kingman gelding. Half-brother to smart 6f-1m winner Discovery Island. Dam, winner up to 1m (2-y-o 7f winner), half-sister to very smart 6f-7f winner Leahurst. Highly respected on debut given connections. Newcomer by Kingman; already gelded but represents powerful stable; needs a close look.
3	6 3rd (6) (12/1 -20%) Star Ahoy	12 12/1(-20%)	(6) Star Ahoy 12/1, Well-bred son of Sea The Stars who improved on his debut form after 5 months off when fourth of 13 in 1m maiden at Yarmouth (good) 17 days ago, barely adequate test. Should have more to offer, especially when moving up further in trip. Can't be dismissed on the form of his Yarmouth reappearance effort.
4	2 4th (2) (11/1 -47%) August	11 11/1(-47%)	(2) August 11/1, Twice-raced maiden who failed to progress from debut (after 5 months off) when seventh of 10 in minor event at this course (10f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Went through the race better than most but failed to pick up when asked, so could benefit from this drop back in trip. Weakened over 1m2f here last month; may well improve for return to 1m.
5th	5 5th (5) (6/1 -9%) Merlin The Wizard	6 6/1(-9%)	(5) Merlin The Wizard 6/1, Camelot gelding who showed plenty of ability when second of 13 in minor event at Kempton (7f) on debut in December, clear of rest. Step up to 1m will suit and he's sure to progress. Finished well for clear second at Kempton on sole 2yo start; interesting on reappearance.
6th	10 6th (10) (16/1 +11%) Zaraza	16 16/1(+11%)	(10) Zaraza 16/1, 52,000 gns yearling, Sea The Stars gelding. Half-brother to German 9f winner Zacapo. Dam 8.5f-1½m winner. Newcomers from yard command respect. 52,000gns yearling; by Sea The Stars; heed the market signals on debut.
7th	3 7th (3) (20/1 -25%) Daarree	20 20/1(-25%)	(3) Daarree 20/1, Shaped as if in need of the experience when sixth of 7 in maiden (9/1) at this course (7f, soft) on debut 31 days ago. Should do better. Appeared to find 7f inadequate here on debut; open to improvement upped in trip.
8th	4 8th (4) (5/1 +17%) Laoisman	5 5/1(+17%)	(4) Laoisman 5/1, Night of Thunder colt who shaped well when second of 9 in maiden at Pontefract (8f, good to soft) on debut 16 days ago, collared close home after travelling well. Open to improvement. Close second in Pontefract maiden, faring clear best of the newcomers; shortlisted.
9th	9 9th (9) (25/1 -257%) Yellow Star	25 25/1(-257%)	(9) Yellow Star 25/1, Sea The Moon colt who improved from his debut after 6 months off when fourth of 8 in maiden at Newbury (11f, heavy) 27 days ago, sticking to task. Shaped like a stayer that day, so this drop back in trip isn't sure to be in his favour. Holds major claims on latest Newbury effort but this drop back to 1m looks a negative.
10th	8 10th (8) (33/1 -136%) Tribute	33 33/1(-136%)	(8) Tribute 33/1, Much improved from debut when third in 8-runner minor event (16/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 11 days ago. Open to further progress. Seemed to need debut outing in the Wood Ditton; clear third at Southwell since.

LTO Selection:

16:00 Newmarket Stakes (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Although QUDDWAH has to concede weight all round having won at Salisbury on debut, he did plenty wrong on that occasion which suggests there could be an awful lot more to come from the son of Kingman. Laoisman shaped with plenty of promise when going down narrowly at Pontefract on his debut outing recently and is sure to have benefited from that experience. The same applies to Merlin The Wizard, who went down to a more experienced rival at Kempton in December and this extra yardage looks sure to suit.

Plenty have chances in an open-looking novice but MERLIN THE WIZARD shades the vote having caught the eye keeping on nicely over 7f on his Kempton debut back in December. The step up to 1m is sure to suit on that evidence so he looks as interesting as any. Theatre Honours is a respected newcomer for powerful connections, while Quddwah seems likely to build on his Salisbury debut win.

Most of the runners can be viewed positively. First choice is MERLIN THE WIZARD, ahead of Quddwah and Laoisman.

1	5 1st (5) (5.5/1 +8%) Repertoire	5.5 5.5/1(+8%)	(5) Repertoire 5.5/1, Respectable seventh of 15 in handicap at Ascot (1m) on reappearance 16 days ago. Merits plenty of respect with Jamie Spencer taking over from an inexperienced 7 lb claimer now. Not disgraced at Ascot on reappearance; back on last winning mark; one to consider.
2	4 2nd (4) (12/1 +0%) Fantasy Believer	12 12/1(+0%)	(4) Fantasy Believer 12/1, 25/1, respectable eighth of 15 in handicap at Ascot (1m, good) 16 days ago. Below his last winning mark and could make more of an impact in this lower grade. Ties in with Repertoire on Ascot running 16 days ago; good chance on peak form.
3	7 3rd (7) (7/1 +13%) Canoodled	7 7/1(+13%)	(7) Canoodled 7/1, C&D winner on final 2022 start. Looked rusty when last of 6 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy, 9/1) on reappearance 17 days ago. Should strip fitter now. Has form figures of 1241 at this venue; second in this race 12 months ago.
4	6 4th (6) (5.5/1 -38%) Shigar	5.5 5.5/1(-38%)	(6) Shigar 5.5/1, 5/1, below form fifth of 13 in handicap at Ripon (1m, heavy) on reappearance 20 days ago but interesting that his top stable have stuck with him at 4 and he retains potential. Lightly raced; could well resume his improvement with Ripon reappearance under his belt.
5th	2 5th (2) (3.33/1 +63%) Million Thanks	3.33 3.33/1(+63%)	(2) Million Thanks 3.33/1, Couple of good runner-up efforts over 1m at Lingfield this spring but needs to shrug off a lesser run at Lingfield over Easter. Turf winner for previous yard. Close second in AW events on last two attempts over 1m; not dismissed.
6th	3 6th (3) (7.5/1 -7%) Tarbaan	7.5 7.5/1(-7%)	(3) Tarbaan 7.5/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Chelmsford in December. 9/1, respectable fourth of 12 at Lingfield when last seen in January. One to consider back on turf. Sole turf success came over C&D a year ago; interesting back here.
7th	1 7th (1) (5.5/1 +15%) Ashky	5.5 5.5/1(+15%)	(1) Ashky 5.5/1, Successful 3 times last season, including C&D. Raced on unfavoured side when well held on C&D reappearance a month ago and no surprise were he to leave that run well behind. Has form figures of 311313 at Newmarket tracks when the ground is good/firmer.
8th	9 8th (9) (6/1 -20%) Hiromichi	6 6/1(-20%)	(9) Hiromichi 6/1, Good strike-rate since last August, gaining a fifth win in his last 9 starts when seeing off 6 rivals at Bath (1m, soft) 18 days ago. Yet another who has to enter the reckoning. Has form figures of 121 since racing in 1m handicaps; still unexposed at this trip.
9th	10 9th (10) (100/1 -150%) Dubai Immo	100 100/1(-150%)	(10) Dubai Immo 100/1, Remains a maiden after 17 starts and down the field on both starts since joining this yard. Has not figures in two outings for new stable; still a maiden.

LTO Selection:

16:35 Newmarket Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

REPERTOIRE was far from disgraced in an apprentice handicap on his reappearance at Ascot 16 days ago. The son of Bated Breath is back down to his last winning mark and, with Jamie Spencer back aboard, an improved performance could be on the cards. He shades the vote over the steadily progressive Hiromichi, while Shigar appeals as the pick of the remainder.

It's possible deep ground didn't suit SHIGAR on his reappearance and he's given another chance to show he's a lightly-raced handicapper heading in the right direction. Repertoire is back on the mark he defied at Ascot last spring and is feared most ahead of Tarbaan and Ashky.

The vote goes to HIROMICHI, who is in good form and looks open to further progress over 1m. Shigar is second choice.

17:05 Newmarket Handicap (Class 5) 7f - 16 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	10 1st (10) (6.5/1 +35%) Aurora Dawn	6.5 6.5/1(+35%)	(10) Aurora Dawn 6.5/1, Improved on handicap debut when third of 7 at Lingfield (7f, AW, 12/1) 31 days ago, finishing well from long way back. Respected on turf debut. Four runs on AW, showing clear promise; good test at 7f should suit; more to come.
2	3 2nd (3) (12/1 +25%) Liberty Mountain	12 12/1(+25%)	(3) Liberty Mountain 12/1, Improved on final start last year, winning 5-runner minor event at Lingfield (7f, AW, 11/4) in October. Shaped as if better for run when fifth of 10 in handicap (12/1) at Yarmouth (7f, good) on return and shouldn't be discounted. 7f AW winner last season; encouraging seasonal return; unraced on slower than good.
3	7 3rd (7) (7.5/1 -25%) Oriental Dancer	7.5 7.5/1(-25%)	(7) Oriental Dancer 7.5/1, Much improved when second of 10 on nursery bow at Leicester (7f, good to firm), making challenge away from other principals. Looks competitive on form after 7 months off. Promising nursery debut when last seen (7f, good); more to come this year; interesting.
4	5 4th (5) (11/1 -57%) Wadi Bani	11 11/1(-57%)	(5) Wadi Bani 11/1, Free-going sort wasn't disgraced when second of 8 in handicap at Windsor (6f, heavy) 11 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Second over 6f 11 days ago; still to prove he stays 7f but returning tongue-tie can help.
5th	4 5th (4) (11/1 -100%) Raven's Applause	11 11/1(-100%)	(4) Raven's Applause 11/1, Given 3 qualifying runs in quick succession, his best effort coming when third in Chelmsford maiden in late-April. Should still improve for this trip and looks on a fair mark for his handicap debut, Promise in three quick runs this spring; likely improver now handicapping.
6th	1 6th (1) (7/1 +0%) Abbadia	7 7/1(+0%)	(1) Abbadia 7/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Progressed again when second of 12 on handicap/turf debut (11/2) at Beverley (7.4f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Up 3 lb but going in right direction. Improved for headgear/handicaps when close 2nd at Beverley last month; up 3lb; chance.
7th	2 7th (2) (10/1 -67%) Carvetii	10 10/1(-67%)	(2) Carvetii 10/1, Did well under circumstances when second of 6 in handicap at Leicester (7f, heavy) 20 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently in strongly-run event. Player again. Good 2nd at Leicester latest (7f, soft); back up in weights but drying ground no problem.
8th	15 8th (15) (5.5/1 +54%) Chalk Mountain	5.5 5.5/1(+54%)	(15) Chalk Mountain 5.5/1, Justified support when winning 6-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 5/2) 24 days ago, well positioned but still looking slightly rough around the edges. 4 lb higher now but could still have more to come. Off the mark at Wolverhampton on his 3yo return; 4lb higher but still has more to come.
9th	11 9th (11) (50/1 +24%) Mister X	50 50/1(+24%)	(11) Mister X 50/1, Won at Lingfield in March but failed to replicate that form in a pair of subsequent outings there and arrives with a fair bit to prove back on turf. Four handicap wins already but his last two runs have been underwhelming.
10th	8 10th (8) (20/1 +50%) Muy Muy Guapo	20 20/1(+50%)	(8) Muy Muy Guapo 20/1, Fair maiden has essentially looked harshly treated in a trio of handicap starts so far, matching previous form when fourth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 51 days ago, slowly away. Not easy to make a case for. Not looked ahead of his mark on AW this year; hopes pined on this return to turf reviving.
11th	12 11th (12) (16/1 +36%) Miss Gallagher	16 16/1(+36%)	(12) Miss Gallagher 16/1, Steadily progressive last season until flopping in nursery at Southwell (7.1f, 9/2) on final start. Off 7 months. Has work to do. Bits of form at two that give her claims; reportedly failed to stay 7f latest.
12th	13 12th (13) (14/1 +13%) So Chic	14 14/1(+13%)	(13) So Chic 14/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in March. Probably would have benefited from stronger gallop when fourth of 8 there (8.6f) 24 days ago but did flash tail and others make more appeal overall. In good form over 7f on AW this year; not at best over 1m the last twice; yard in form.
13th	9 13th (9) (40/1 +20%) House Of Dragons	40 40/1(+20%)	(9) House Of Dragons 40/1, Gradual improvemeent in a trio of starts for Dominic Ffrench Davis last season but handicapper has taken no chances with his opening mark and bit more needed making handicap debut for new yard. Best run for former yard came over 8.5f; opening mark no obvious gift on stable debut.
14th	14 14th (14) (16/1 +27%) Topo Chico	16 16/1(+27%)	(14) Topo Chico 16/1, Good neck second of 10 in handicap at Kempton (7f) on penultimate start and wasn't disgraced when fourth of 7 at Lingfield (7f, AW, 15/2) a week later. Frame claims. Ten-race maiden but often placed; behind Aurora Dawn latest; each-way claims again.
15th	16 15th (16) (33/1 -230%) Mysterious Maestro	33 33/1(-230%)	(16) Mysterious Maestro 33/1, Had visor applied and showed his first form when fifth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 15 days ago. May do better still with that under his belt. Better run on handicap debut latest; return to 7f can help; still has more to come.
16th	6 16th (6) (9/1 +78%) Hurricane Kiko	9 9/1(+78%)	(6) Hurricane Kiko 9/1, Winner of Chelmsford City maiden on third start at 2 yrs. Perhaps needed run when mid-field at Kempton on handicap bow last time but mark still looks stiff enough. 1m AW winner last season; well held on return; looks too high in the weights.

LTO Selection:

17:05 Newmarket Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Raised 3lb in the ratings having been narrowly denied on her handicap debut last month, compensation may await the George Boughey-trained ABBADIA with natural progression on the cards. Ed Dunlop enlists the services of James Doyle aboard Raven's Applause, and that means the son of Acclamation should be treated with the utmost respect. Others to note include Oriental Dancer and Wadi Bani.

ORIENTAL DANCER took a significant step forward when second on her nursery bow at Leicester late last year despite the run of the race going against her and she's taken to kick off her 3-y-o campaign with a winning reappearance. Raven's Applause has been quickly qualified for handicaps by Ed Dunlop and should still prove better at this trip, so may represent some value, whilst Carvetii's recent second, also at Leicester, makes him a leading player.

Aurora Dawn has more to come in a well-run race but ORIENTAL DANCER is also capable of further progress this year.

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.
