Only a length away on nursery debut at Newbury (7f) and he was keen enough in that race.

13:55 Newmarket (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Not beaten far in second on his first go in nursery company at Newbury last month, JOHN BARLEYCORN is taken to get off the mark at the fifth time of asking. Leicester scorer Renovatio Angel can give the selection the most to think about, as well as Ballistic Missile, who has undergone wind surgery since disappointing in the Coventry when last seen.

The Coventry was a step too far for BALLISTIC MISSILE but he retains potential, as some eyecatching entries would imply.

LTO Selection:

14:32 Newmarket (Class 2) 7f Race Class Flow

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

A 1,000,000 euro purchase at the Arqana May Breeze-up this year, ZANTHOS can go some way to repaying that hefty price tag by scoring on debut for her in-form connections. The booking of Oisin Murphy looks significant and she is preferred to the well-bred Proposal, who may want further in time, as well as Al Qaysiyya, who hails from a yard that has had an excellent record on the July course.

An intriguing maiden in which Al Qaysiyya, Proposal and ZANTHOS stand out on paper. The latter cost a lot as a breezer.

Significant jockey booking. Effective over 6-7f on good and all-weather, though probably better on AW. Looks too high in the weights.

15:07 Newmarket (Class 2) 7f Race Class Flow

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

ROYAL VELVET has felt very much at home on both Newmarket tracks this season and a 4lb rise for her most recent success over C&D may prove lenient as she looks to bring up a seventh career success. Former Group 2 winner Jumby ran his best race for some time when third at Haydock last month and he is expected to go well again, along with Sea Baaeed, who steps up in grade on his second run back after wind surgery.

There's nothing not to like about the prospects of Royal Velvet but things might be picking up again for RIGHTHERE RIGHTNOW (nap).

(1) Dance To The Music 11/4, Finished strongly on a very promising debut when winning a novice over 6f at Newmarket by 1l. From a top course trainer. Returns from a short break and is expected to improve further, likely over this 7f. Should be thereabouts

Sapphire Steps

12/1(-50%)
(4) Sapphire Steps 12/1, From a yard that has won 2 of the last 10 runnings of this race. Made a very promising debut showing an excellent turn of foot to win a maiden over 6f at Newbury by 3/4l. Knew her job on debut but should have more to offer.
Questionable what she achieved at Newbury but stepping up to 7f looks sure to suit.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

15:40 Newmarket (Class 1) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Dubawi filly Dance To The Music is the obvious one for Charlie Appleby after winning on the Rowley Mile in May, but she will need a step forward to get the better of SAPPHIRE STEPS. Richard Hannon won this in 2016 and 2017 and introduced his filly at Newbury where she won cosily, with the likelihood of plenty of improvement to come. Keep an eye on Princess Petrol and Venetian Lace too.

None of the six can be dismissed but MIDNIGHT TANGO is a lot better than she was able to show at Ascot. Expect a more patient ride.

16:17 Newmarket (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Wolfpack is improving with experience and won on his last start at Thirsk, but a mark of 83 seems high enough for his handicap debut when you consider the horse he beat by less than two lengths is rated 10lb lower. Abundance is after his hat-trick and looks a player despite an added 5lb, but TRANSPARENT may be the one. Beaten less than a length when third on his first start after being gelded, he looks the best handicapped here with any improvement.

Wolfpack is respected but THE FINGAL RAVEN and Mister Winston rate safer propositions with their solid form in strong handicaps.

16:50 Newmarket (Class 5) 15f Race Class Flow

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

BELLATOR BULLET has slowly stepped up in trip in his short career, getting off the mark over this distance at Redcar on his seventh start in May. He followed that with victory at Nottingham before a below-par fourth at Newbury, failing to recover after being hampered. Cheekpieces are added now off the same mark and he may be worth another chance. The Crafty Mole needs producing late but is capable on his day, though the younger Captain Brett may be the bigger danger.

This looks very open. CAPTAIN BRETT has found his level this summer and he might be well suited to today's bigger field.

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.
