The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

ZAPPATA struck by over a length on his second start in a handicap at Wetherby on Sunday and only has a 6lb penalty to shoulder. With Liam Wright negating 5lb of that with his claim, he could prove tough to beat. Harry Palmer produced a fair effort when third at Newcastle prior to disappointing in first-time cheekpieces at the same venue last time, but has since undergone a wind operation and may bounce back. I Can Boogy completes the shortlist.

This looks a good opportunity for ZAPPATA to defy a penalty for Sunday's win at Wetherby. Storm Kitty is feared.

Camino Del Ray made his way through the field to score on his debut at Newcastle and will have lots more to offer, but he may find it tough to beat DOUBLE PARKED. Tim Easterby's three-year-old took a step forward to fill the runner-up spot at Newcastle on his latest outing and might only need to find minimal improvement in order to get off the mark. Evangelic is another to note on his return to action.

Charlie Hills has an excellent record at Redcar in recent seasons and EVANGELIC is taken to make a winning return.

Sychell improved on her debut effort to make the frame at Southwell on her latest outing and it would be no surprise to see her feature with further progression. However, LOTHLORIEN beat a well-fancied favourite to score by a short head on her debut in August last year. Provided Kevin Ryan's filly builds on that success on her return to the fray, she could prove hard to beat. Fluorescence isn't ruled out either.

This probably most concerns the penalised winners LOTHLORIEN, Fluorescence and Angelic Bugler, plus recent third Sychell.

A highly-promising second on her return to turf over 6f here recently, LADY OF THE GARR had done well over the winter on the all-weather and this appeals as a perfect opportunity to get back to winning ways. Not beaten far at Catterick last time out, Latin Five can follow her home, along with Match Play, who is 10lb lower than his last success.

The filly DORALEE is returning from an absence but this very lightly raced 4yo could be on a handy mark. Latin Five is second choice

Placed on each of his last five outings, including at Nottingham the last time, SERGEANT MAYER deserves a change in luck and he may be able to get that in what looks like a winnable contest. A creditable fourth at Catterick most recently, Let's Go Hugo is entitled to be thereabouts, while Golden Rainbow is another who could make the frame.

Sergeant Mayer looks nailed on for a prominent finish but a chance is taken instead on a return to form from DUNNINGTON LAD.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Having recorded a hat-trick at the end of his 2024 campaign, See That Storm must warrant consideration on his return to action. However, a 3lb higher mark and a lack of a recent run could leave Edward Bethell's gelding vulnerable and LORD PROTECTOR is more compelling. The seven-year-old has filled the frame on both outings this season and compensation may be on the horizon. Last-time-out winner Creatif completes the shortlist.

David O'Meara does well with his French recruits and the very lightly raced CREATIF (nap) can follow up his easy win at Newcastle.

A step up in distance worked the oracle for KIMEKO GLORY when routing her rivals over this trip at Beverley seven days ago. Mark Walford's filly is likely to take all the beating under a 6lb penalty and a quickfire double could be on the cards. The biggest threat may emerge from handicap-debutant Gennadius, who arrives on the back of a good second in novice company. Divine Legacy is worth a second look too.

Beverley winner Kimeko Glory is well treated under a 6lb penalty but handicap newcomer RAULIN could also be ahead of his mark.

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.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool.

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.
