13:40 Salisbury (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

St Anton has shown ability in both previous starts and has to be noted, while James Choice put in a promising display when sixth on his racecourse bow at Sandown. However, a chance can be taken on RUNMAN, who lacks race experience but he catches the eye being a full-brother to the Group 3 winner Majestic Glory and a half-brother to the Royal Ascot scorer Running Lion. Venetia is another noteworthy newcomer.

Ralph Beckett has done extremely well with fillies in this race and the attractively bred VENETIA is taken to make a winning start.

14:10 Salisbury (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

POETRY OF TIME was only beaten a short-head into second on his racecourse bow at Thirsk a couple of weeks ago and William Haggas' colt appears to be the one to beat on that evidence. The main threat is likely to be Akho Mezzna, who has run to a similar level in all three previous starts, while any market support for Bu Hail or Deadline would have to be noted.

Akho Mezzna should go well again but POETRY OF TIME looked very promising when finishing well to go close at Thirsk last month.

14:42 Salisbury (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Decem Starr sets the standard having taken a big step forwards to fill second place over 7f at Leicester last month and a repeat of that would give him a big chance. That said, it would be no surprise to see MERTOUN make a winning debut. The son of Oasis Dream cost 100,000gns as a yearling and is the first foal out of a Listed-placed mare. The shortlist is completed by Battosai, Hurricane Laughter and Phantom Shadow.

Group-entered DECEM STARR is the call after his recent second but newcomers Mertoun and Hurricane Laughter need betting checks.

15:17 Salisbury (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Ralph Beckett fields a couple of highly notable debutants and while the regally-owned Queen's Companion has plenty to offer on paper, MUSIC ACADEMY could be the pick of the locally-based trainer's pair. A 600,000gns yearling, the daughter of Kingman is a full-sister to Group 3 winner Parent's Prayer that should have no issues starting out over this intermediate trip. Black Chiffon is another noted starting out at a winnable level, while the attractively-bred Thursday Girl also makes the shortlist.

This could go to TAHALEL. She has been absent since Royal Ascot but her debut second at Haydock in May worked out extremely well.

15:50 Salisbury (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

The progressive SWORD MAKER was visually impressive when he pulled away from the opposition to register a cosy success in a nursery at Doncaster 20 days ago. The son of Pinatubo faces a stiffer test but could be up to giving weight away at this stage. The unbeaten Pilu has course experience and is dangerous to underestimate despite the official ratings suggesting he needs a big step forward. The class-dropping First Legion could have a bigger say than American Gulf at this level.

Preference is for PILU who made it 2-2 when making all in a C&D novice last time and could have lots more left in the tank.

Under The Twilight

8.5
17/2(-42%)
(2) Under The Twilight 17/2, Ran a bit below form when beaten 3 1/4l off 86 here last time. Usually held up, suited by 6f, and probably not at best on heavy or soft ground. In form otherwise.
Three-time course winner; not quite at her best her last time but that was on heavy ground.

14/1(-250%)
(5) Rock Iguana 14/1, Ran at least to the form of first two starts when second, beaten 2 1/4l in a novice at Kempton last time. Has a very solid profile and effective at 6f on all-weather.
Plenty of promise in AW maiden/novice races; needs another step forward but it's possible.

9/2(-64%)
(8) Another Abbot 9/2, Appeared to improve markedly on a quirky track when landing a handicap by 2l off 76 at Brighton last time. Off a short break. Suited by 6f and acts on any, though tricky to evaluate.
Made it 2-3 since being upped to 6f when winning in good style at Brighton; major player.

16:20 Salisbury (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Under The Twilight won this off 2lb lower in 2023 and is dangerous to ignore back at her seemingly favourite venue, while Rock Iguana is unexposed and could be anything on his handicap debut. Wheels Of Fire also warrants close inspection after improved recent form, whereas Buccabay can have a say off 2lb below his last winning mark. Nevertheless, ANOTHER ABBOT was the convincing winner of two of his last three starts and he looks the most upwardly-mobile contender in a very tight race to call.

The William Haggas-trained ANOTHER ABBOT (nap) is a 3yo on the up and can make it 3-4 over 6f. Under The Twilight is a danger.

16:50 Salisbury (Class 4) 9f Race Class Flow

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

Narrowly denied at Bath last time out, GOODWOOD MOGUL could be well treated off a mark of 80 on his handicap debut and the booking of Oisin Murphy catches the eye as he looks to break the maiden at the sixth time of asking. Back to form with a creditable third at Newbury last month, Gloryous can follow the selection home, along with Grecian Legacy, who may be suited by dropping back in trip.

Approval remains of interest but GRECIAN LEGACY has his ideal conditions for the first time since his May win and gets the vote.

17:25 Salisbury (Class 4) 15f Race Class Flow

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

A tentative vote goes to MACARI, who scored over C&D back in May and showed up well when third from the front at Doncaster most recently. Going back up in trip is bound to suit the son of Sixties Icon, who is preferred to taking Bath winner Fair Dinkum. Diamond Bay and Just An Hour are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

C&D winner MACARI was a good third at Doncaster three weeks ago and earns the vote ahead of the 3yo Schemaya.

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.
