Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Based on the summary, our prediction for the horses that will finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd are as follows: 1st: 4.5/1 (6) DESTINED 2nd: 3/1 (11) LADY CHAPEL 3rd: 5.5/1 (13) OUR DELIA

Bloomin Robbery, who cost 125,000gns as a yearling, appeals on pedigree and is one to seriously consider if the betting market vibes suggest she can make a positive impact on her debut. Similar applies to Just A Notion, another expensive purchase who would also have to be of interest if supported. However, Our Delia (second) and DESTINED (third) have an edge in terms of experience, with the latter taken to turnaround last November's Newcastle form now switched to turf.

Preference is for DESTINED, who acquitted herself well on both outings as a juvenile and should have more to offer this year. Our Delia and Aclaim To Fame head the list of dangers.

John Quinn saddles an interesting newcomer in SKI ANGEL, who gets the nod over fair maiden Destined in an open novice.

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

Based on the summary, the horses that have a good chance of finishing in the top 3 are 0.83/1 (3) INDIANA BE, 10/1 (4) KENTUCKY BLUEGRASS, and 3/1 (2) GOLD GUY. 0.83/1 (3) INDIANA BE had a good reappearance and is in the picture, while 10/1 (4) KENTUCKY BLUEGRASS can step forward on his seasonal return. 3/1 (2) GOLD GUY had a promising debut and his form has been franked, making him a solid player. 33/1 (8) MADGE MCSPLASH, although appealing on paper, may need the market's guidance as a newcomer. The rest of the horses are either less convincing or have previously shown poor form.

INDIANA BE has been consistent enough so far and looks worth persevering with now he is back on turf. The son of Sioux Nation, who was a good second from a 1lb lower mark in a C&D nursery last September, sets a reasonable standard for a race of this nature and looks the logical choice. Gold Guy went close on his debut at Newcastle in January and a step forward would see him on the premises. Acclaimer and Man Of A'an also warrant respect and they are worth a check in the betting market.

This can go to INDIANA BE, who was clear of the remainder when runner-up on his return at Southwell last month and likely has more to offer yet. Gold Guy and Man of A'an are feared most.

Newcastle second GOLD GUY is taken to go one better and edge out his main form rival Indiana Be
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Based on the summary, it is difficult to predict which horse will come in first, second, and third. However, some horses that may have a chance of placing could be 2.75/1 (4) LITTLE JO, 3/1 (1) LIKE A LION, and 3/1 (2) KING CARNEY. These horses have shown past success and are either at a handy mark or on a workable mark, making them potentially competitive in the race.

Like A Lion runs off his last winning mark and could be up to the task of coping with the burden of top weight in this selling handicap. However, he didn't appear to see out the trip when he was last tried over 1m and slight preference is for KING CARNEY, who is more proven over the distance and is effective on the predicted going. Butterfly Island is also considered now she is tried in first-time cheekpieces.

LITTLE JO wasn't seen to best effect at Pontefract last time and gets the nod in a race which may not take a great deal of winning. KIng Carney and Like A Lion are next best.

Newcastle scorer KING CARNEY is taken to bounce back in style having gone too freely last time and with Hollie Doyle now on board.

1st: 7.5/1 (1) RAZONI 2nd: 8.5/1 (8) COVERDALE 3rd: 3/1 (4) ROARING LEGEND

FEUD had excuses when not scoping right after his third start at Kempton and the son of Dubawi, who has been gelded over the winter, is open to a fair amount of improvement on his handicap bow. Roaring Legend represents a stable who have enjoyed a fine start to the season and the application of a tongue-tie, along with a gelding operation, may see him enter the reckoning. Ribal, who finished runner-up at Doncaster on his return to action, and Razoni are others with viable claims.

COVERDALE progressed with each start last season and this longer trip may well unlock further improvement. He can make a winning return. Ribal and Razoni rate the principal dangers.

Ralph Beckett's FEUD (nap) should relish this new trip and show improvement on his handicap debut.

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

Based on the information provided, 0.2/1 (1) CONCORDE seems like the strongest contender for the top 3 positions. Therefore, the predicted order of finish is: 1. 0.2/1 (1) CONCORDE 2. 9/1 (4) VIOLETA 3. 8/1 (3) INSPIRITED

CONCORDE made amends for his Chelmsford second when flying away from the opposition at Pontefract in the manner of a horse well ahead of the handicapper. Despite carrying a 6lb penalty for that success, he remains 3lb well-in and George Boughey's gelding, who returns to the scene of his first victory, is expected to be a very warm order. That said, he does face some stiffer opposition in the shape of Maid In London, who got off the mark at the second attempt at Wolverhampton, and Inspirited.

CONCORDE reiterated that he's way ahead of the handicapper when storming clear at Pontefract 10 days ago and he should have no trouble going in again. Maid In London is the likeliest to capitalise if the selection fluffs his lines and Inspirited isn't completely dismissed having signed off the last campaign with an improved effort to score at Brighton.

Maid In London and Inspirited bring potential to their handicap debuts but CONCORDE can win again.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Based on the summary, 4/1 (6) DAPPER MAN seems to be the strongest contender with a recent win and a good showing at Catterick. 4.5/1 (1) MEWS HOUSE also has a good recent performance and could possibly finish in second place. 7.5/1 (3) SHOW COMPASSION may also have a chance to finish in the top three. 2.25/1 (7) RAJMEISTER and 9/1 (5) YAZAMAN have some potential, but their recent performances have not been as strong. 10/1 (9) GULLANE ONE and 8/1 (8) PRIMO seem less likely to perform well in this race. Therefore, the prediction for the top three finishers is: 1. 4/1 (6) DAPPER MAN 2. 4.5/1 (1) MEWS HOUSE 3. 7.5/1 (3) SHOW COMPASSION

DAPPER MAN followed up his win at Southwell in March with a close second at Catterick last time and that form gives the veteran a big chance in a race of this nature. Rajmeister failed to fire on his most recent outing but is a player based on his previous victory, while Impressor and Show Compassion are others who could go well.

DAPPER MAN has looked revitalised of late and, having just been touched off at Catterick last week, he's worth a chance to resume winning ways. Impressor, who scored here on his penultimate outing, looks a big danger and Mews House warrants consideration.

It is worth siding with YAZAMAN to build on an encouraging debut for Paul Midgley and capitalise on a much-reduced mark

1st: 1.38/1 (1) SMILE AND PAY 2nd: 4.5/1 (5) CAMACHO STAR 3rd: 6.5/1 (2) ANGEL OF PEACE

SMILE AND PAY was an 11-length winner over 7f at Catterick last week and is hard to oppose given that his 6lb penalty still leaves him 6lb well in here. Camacho Star has been running well so far this season and should not be underestimated. War Chant is entitled to improve for his encouraging recent return, while Angel Of Peace is another to note.

Having scored with plenty in hand at Catterick 8 days ago, SMILE AND PAY seems the obvious choice under a penalty. Angel of Peace is a notable handicap debutante and the in-form Camacho Star could be dangerous if he gets his own way in front.

It's hard to side against SMILE AND PAY who is weighted to follow up his wide-margin Catterick success turned out under a 6lb penalty.

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.

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.
