14:57 Redcar (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

PALLAS LORD won the penultimate staging of this race in a gutsy manner and the seven-year-old, who has enjoyed a profitable all-weather season, can repeat the feat despite running off 4lb higher. Admittedly, there are several others who can have a big say, including handicap-debutant Toralou, whose recent second in a novice stakes at Newcastle has a solid appearance. Stratocracy, Roaring Ralph and Ahamoment are other each-way options.

Preference is for PALLAS LORD, who has been in rude health on the AW of late and won a division of this race in 2022.

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

BAREFOOT WARRIOR chased home a couple of useful rivals home on his debut and is unbeaten in two starts since, the latest of those coming at Newcastle in September. The son of Saxon Warrior has a layoff to overcome but, if ready to roll, an opening mark of 87 looks well within range. Good Morning Alex has gone well fresh previously so is considered, along with the George Boughey-trained Classic Encounter.

CONVERGENT was a comfortable winner over a mile here on debut but Karl Burke's colt, who holds an entry in the 2000 Guineas, should be even better now upped in trip and is expected to prove difficult to beat. Debutant Colinski is related to a couple of winners and could pick up some minor money, while Without Burlington should relish a switch to turf.

This looks a good opportunity for course novice winner CONVERGENT to make it 2-2. Newcomer Colinski is feared most.

LECHUGA LAD finished a creditable third at Wolverhampton last month considering he failed to settle. James Fanshawe's inmate has plenty of scope for improvement having only his second outing in a handicap, and could be bang there at the finish on his turf debut, with an apprentice's 3lb allowance further helping his cause. Titainium ran well for second here last autumn and returns to action with a shout, while Capla Lazarus should be noted making his handicap debut.

A case can be made for several and ELEMENTAL EYE is just a tentative choice now back on a good mark with conditions to suit.

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.
