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

AL HUJAIJA took a big leap forward to go down narrowly at Newbury just over a fortnight ago and, given the way she finished off her race on that occasion, this extra furlong should suit. Squeaker shaped with plenty of promise to finish runner-up at Doncaster on debut, despite being slowly away, and improvement is likely. Carolina Reaper wasn't disgraced when sixth behind Snellen in the Chesham at Royal Ascot last month and will appreciate these calmer waters.

Roger Varian's AL HUJAIJA shaped very well when runner-up at Newbury last time and looks the way to go with the extra furlong a plus too for this Kodiac filly. Carolina Reaper also has the form to play a big part and is next on the list ahead of Squeaker and Oops who can fight it out for minor honours.

This can go to CAROLINA REAPER who sets a useful standard on her close sixth in the Chesham four weeks ago.

Just A Spark has been given a 3lb rise for her game success over C&D last month and there appears to no reason to suggest why she won't go close again. James Ferguson applies blinkers for the first time to the newly gelded Hover On The Wind, who merits respect, but the vote goes to ABATE. The seven-year-old has been in fine form so far this season, having won twice already, and, although beaten at Hamilton last time, he is capable of getting back to winning ways.

A chance is taken on EQUIANO SPRINGS, who is now 2 lb below his last winning mark and a reproduction of his Haydock effort at the end of May would bring him firmly into the reckoning. The 9-y-o paid the price for racing up with the pace in a strongly-run contest over 7f at York since and dropping back in trip here looks a good move. Just A Spark scored over C&D last time and should be on the premises once again, while Mokaatil is also shortlisted.

Just A Spark is progressing well but ABATE has looked as good as ever this year and he can register his third C&D success.

Clive Cox appears to have found the key to HAVANA BLUE, who has won his last two races in cosy style, and although stepping up to a mile for the first time, his running style suggests it shouldn't be an issue. One Nation failed to beat a rival home in the Britannia at Royal Ascot last month, but he could be worth another chance, while the consistent Dutch Decoy, who is a previous C&D winner, looks to have solid place claims.

A number arrive with claims, including progressive HAVANA BLUE. Clive Cox's 3-y-o posted a career-best effort when doubling his tally over 7f here 3 weeks ago and, totally unexposed at 1m, he could well be up to completing the hat-trick. Dutch Decoy is knocking firmly on the door and he's feared, along with Saxon King and Indemnify.

The vote goes to BOPEDRO following his close sixth in the Buckingham Palace, whilst his latest York effort can be forgiven.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

NOVAKAI was a good second in the Musidora at York behind Oaks winner Soul Sister on her penultimate effort and that form entitles her to be the one to beat in this field. Karl Burke's charge struggled to land a blow in the Group 1 Prix de Diane at Chantilly last time, but she can stamp her authority back in these calmer waters. Time Lock should also be thereabouts after a creditable run in the Lancashire Oaks at Haydock last time, while Sound Angela completes the shortlist.

Ground firmer than good would be a minor concern for TIME LOCK but she's essentially a really solid performer in this grade and still appeals as the type who could do even better when circumstances allow. She's taken to get the better of Novakai, who needs to shrug off a below-par effort in France last time, with the unbeaten Truthful and Sound Angela others that can make their presence felt.

The choice is NOVAKAI whose runner-up finishes in the Fillies' Mile and Musidora make good reading at this level.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

ALA KAIFI very nearly shed his maiden tag when beaten a short-head over 1m2f at Doncaster last time and this looks like a nice opportunity to go one better. Ismail Mohammed's runner is making his handicap debut and an opening mark of 70 doesn't appear out of his grasp. Last-time-out winner I Still Have Faith should pose the biggest danger after scoring over 1m2f at Nottingham, while Kodiman shouldn't be ignored.

This can go the way of I STILL HAVE FAITH, who got off the mark in remarkable fashion at Nottingham a fortnight ago (blew the start and forfeited at least 6 lengths). Nudged up a just a couple of pounds, he's fancied to double his tally at the expense of Kodiman, who wasn't seen to best effect at Lingfield last month and should have more to offer. Ala Kaifi and Moush can do battle for third spot.

The vote goes to I STILL HAVE FAITH who has responded well to the fitting of a hood including when winning at Nottingham last time.

Final Watch was a good winner over C&D last Friday and another bold bid can be expected, but he may be susceptible to some better treated rivals, such as STAR OF ORION. Ralph Beckett's charge wasn't disgraced in the Bunbury Cup at this venue last week and dropped 1lb in the ratings, he could be on a dangerous mark. First Folio completes the shortlist back in these calmer waters.

CANDLE OF HOPE fared best of those ridden prominently in the Sandringham at Royal Ascot and, up against much more exposed types, she's worth a chance to get back to winning ways. A bold showing is likely from recent C&D winner Final Watch and Star of Orion should be on the premises.

The vote goes to CANDLE OF HOPE (nap) who suggested the return to 7f would suit when fifth in the 1m Sandringham last month.

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.
