14:05 Newmarket (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

BINHAREER impressed when scoring comfortably at Ayr last month and this might have been the aim since, with an 8lb rise to manage for that second career success. William Haggas' charge gets the vote ahead of Wolverhampton second Cayman Tai and Addison Grey, who ran with credit on his handicap debut at Chepstow after bolting up at Salisbury. The last two winners of this unique contest, Archduke Ferdinand and Silver Samurai, cannot be ruled out either.

This could be between two of the 3yos. ADDISON GREY was a close third at Chepstow last week and is preferred ahead of Binhareer.

14:40 Newmarket (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

This can go the way of PACIFICA PIER under a 7lb penalty for a comfortable defeat of an exciting subsequent winner on his Sandown introduction. Cieren Fallon takes over in the saddle and Charlie Appleby's Palace Pier colt is preferred to stablemate Del Maro, who cost 850,000 euros at the sales and may have a big say on debut, despite seemingly wanting further on breeding. A promising third first time out at Sandown, The Joker is open to improvement.

850,000euros newcomer Del Maro may be a big player for Godolphin but this could go to stablemate PACIFICA PIER, who won at Sandown.

15:15 Newmarket (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Forceful tactics often pay dividends here and that should suit HALF SOVEREIGN, who arrives on a hat-trick after comfortable victories at Ayr and Yarmouth. A mark of 80 on her nursery debut could prove lenient and she is preferred to Chepstow winner Dubai Time and Awaafi, who is likely to be suited by stepping up in trip after a strong effort when running on for second over 6f here recently.

Having kept on well for a close second over 6f here on her nursery debut, AWAAFI can go one better now tackling 7f for the first time.

15:45 Newmarket (Class 3) 15f Race Class Flow

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

The winner of four of her last five starts, SPIRIT OF JURA has made good progress since her stamina has been tested and there is little to suggest the handicapper has her in his snare just yet. A 6lb rise for winning over 1m5f at Hamilton a fortnight ago looks fair and the daughter of Masar is too upwardly mobile to ignore. Tattycoram boasts some solid form and poses a big danger to the selection. Umbria is another appealing contender.

The progressive 3yo SPIRIT OF JURA has won four of her last five starts and can continue her rise through the ranks.

ALIVE AGAIN displayed a game attitude when he made a winning handicap debut at Yarmouth at the start of this month and has a live chance of following up off just 2lb higher, with Saffie Osborne notably retaining the ride. Showyoutheropes has shown improved form of late and also looks a key player with progression possible over this trip. Opera Wave and Nanny Park both try new headgear and each merits a betting check.

Saffie Osborne made all on ALIVE AGAIN at Yarmouth a fortnight ago and he is taken to make it 2-2 in handicaps. Opera Wave is feared

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

WONDERBOLT was a cosy winner over 7f here last week and is hard to oppose given that display suggested stepping up to a mile won't be much of an issue. Castro Aurum has winning form over the trip and is another key player off a workable mark, but the main danger is Montrachet Girl if she can come back to her Southwell form earlier in the year.

The well-bred WONDERBOLT (nap) powered clear over 7f here recently on her handicap debut and can defy a 7lb rise now upped to 1m.

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.
