1	1 1st (1) (6.5/1 -18%) American Affair		6.5 6.5/1(-18%)																															(1) American Affair 6.5/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fifth of 7 in maiden at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft, 13/2) 11 days ago. Shapes as though this step up in trip will be in his favour and not discounted, for all that improvement is certainly needed. Should do better in time but is passed over for this.
2	4 2nd (4) (9/1 -50%) Glory Sky		9 9/1(-50%)																															(4) Glory Sky 9/1, Once-raced maiden. Fourth of 9 in minor event at Bath (8f, good to soft, 14/1) on debut 25 days ago. Will need to step up on that if she's to figure here but in good hands and improvement is entirely possible. Only minor promise when 14-1 for debut at Bath; needs to have gleaned plenty.
3	6 3rd (6) (1.88/1 +16%) Purnika		1.88 1.88/1(+16%)																															(6) Purnika 1.88/1, Once-raced maiden. 9/1, fourth of 6 in maiden at Ayr (7.2f, good to firm) on debut 12 days ago. Showed clear signs of ability and likely to be more street-wise this time. Merits respect. Looks the type to take good step forward from debut and be heavily involved.
4	5 4th (5) (12/1 -50%) Perovskia		12 12/1(-50%)																															(5) Perovskia 12/1, 2,500 gns foal, €32,000 yearling. Sister to useful 1m winner Jahbath and half-sister to several winners, including 1m-10.5f winner Mikelino and 1½m winner Dragon City. Yard's newcomers usually come on for a run but needs a market check all the same. Yard had three winners from three runners on Saturday and she's well worth a market check.
5th	2 5th (2) (3.33/1 -21%) Gold Guy		3.33 3.33/1(-21%)																															(2) Gold Guy 3.33/1, Twice-raced maiden. 3/1, sixth of 9 in minor event at Redcar (7f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Sported blinkers when runner-up on debut at Newcastle, form which has worked out, and may well get back on track now equipped with cheekpieces. Did very well sporting blinkers on debut and can bounce back with headgear reapplied.
6th	3 6th (3) (3.2/1 +42%) Acclaimer		3.2 3.2/1(+42%)																															(3) Acclaimer 3.2/1, Twice-raced maiden. 16/1, fourth of 9 in minor event at Redcar (7f, good to soft) 12 days ago (Gold Guy back in sixth). Probably more one for handicaps in due course but not completely ruled out here. Good step forward on second start but of greater interest once handicapping.
7th	7 7th (7) (250/1 -213%) Rajawail		250 250/1(-213%)																															(7) Rajawail 250/1, Once-raced maiden. 250/1 and tongue strap on, sixth of 8 in minor event at Southwell (8.1f) on debut 8 days ago. Hard to fancy. 250-1 when beaten just under 17l on debut at Southwell last week (1m); can't fancy.

LTO Selection:

17:25 Wetherby Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Gold Guy was somewhat underwhelming when finishing down the field at Redcar recently and he may prove worth taking on, despite having sound claims if judged on his runner-up effort on debut at Newcastle in January. PURNIKA should have learned plenty from her racecourse bow when running green at Ayr earlier in the month and she's likely to improve on that fourth-placed finish. The daughter of Mondialiste gets the vote ahead of Glory Sky, who should appreciate this drop to 7f.

A chance is taken on AMERICAN AFFAIR, who needs to improve on what he has shown thus far but this step up in trip offers hope that he will be able to do just that. Gold Guy looked a hard ride at Redcar recently but if the new headgear helps him reproduce something akin to his debut form he will be a big player. Purnika needs a close look on the back of her introduction at Ayr, from which there were positives to take, and newcomer Perovskia is one to note in the betting.

Purnika looks set to take a good step forward but GOLD GUY is fancied to bounce back in returning headgear.

1	6 1st (6) (2.75/1 +17%) Platinum Girl		2.75 2.75/1(+17%)																															(6) Platinum Girl 2.75/1, 20/1, good second of 15 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, heavy) 18 days ago. Can make presence felt in a thin race. Good second at Doncaster on seasonal debut; respected off the same mark.
2	9 2nd (9) (12/1 -71%) H Key Lails		12 12/1(-71%)																															(9) H Key Lails 12/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in March. 15/2, eighth of 10 in handicap at this course (8f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Vulnerable to less-exposed sorts. Failed to transfer his good AW form back to turf here last time.
3	3 3rd (3) (22/1 -57%) Ubettabequick		22 22/1(-57%)																															(3) Ubettabequick 22/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 8 in maiden at Thirsk (7f, heavy, 25/1) 10 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Could do better. Could well turn things around now handicapping off only 64; interesting.
4	8 4th (8) (66/1 -200%) The Muffin Man		66 66/1(-200%)																															(8) The Muffin Man 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 37 days ago. Others preferred. Has achieved little in two AW handicaps this term.
5th	2 5th (2) (5.5/1 -57%) Midnight Flame		5.5 5.5/1(-57%)																															(2) Midnight Flame 5.5/1, 10/3, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Catterick (6f, heavy) 34 days ago. May post a bigger effort with Catterick reappearance under her belt.
6th	1 6th (1) (11/1 -175%) Slingsbytoo		11 11/1(-175%)																															(1) Slingsbytoo 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable fifth of 9 in handicap (10/1) at Beverley (7.4f, soft) 15 days ago, slowly away. Visor on 1st time. Possibilities dropped in grade, provided he takes well to headgear.
7th	5 7th (5) (8.5/1 +6%) Tamay Girl		8.5 8.5/1(+6%)																															(5) Tamay Girl 8.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 11/1, fifth of 8 in maiden at Thirsk (7f, soft) 42 days ago, slowly away. Makes handicap debut. Worth monitoring in the betting. Looks the the type to improve now qualified for a mark; one to consider.
8th	4 8th (4) (9/1 +0%) Bonkersinabundance		9 9/1(+0%)																															(4) Bonkersinabundance 9/1, Eighth of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy, 5/1) 34 days ago. Others more persuasive. Newmarket raider who cannot be dismissed at this level.
9th	7 9th (7) (2.25/1 +75%) Powerful Response		2.25 2.25/1(+75%)																															(7) Powerful Response 2.25/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 100/1, first run since leaving Richard Hannon when ninth of 11 in minor event at Southwell (7.1f) 42 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Uphill task. May do better now handicapping on first run since being gelded.
10th	10 10th (10) (50/1 +24%) Havanawing		50 50/1(+24%)																															(10) Havanawing 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at this course (8f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Up against it. No worthwhile form; headgear enlisted.

18:00 Wetherby Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

There was a lot of encouragement to be taken from PLATINUM GIRL's runner-up effort on her seasonal debut at Doncaster last month and a reproduction of that performance may be enough to see Tim Easterby's filly gain a first success today. Midnight Flame finished a fair fourth on her return to action at Catterick in mid-April and a further 2lb drop in the ratings should see her in the mix, while H Key Lails and Slingsbytoo also enter the equation.

PLATINUM GIRL took a step forward when second in a 15-runner event at Doncaster on return and, with an easy lead likely in this lesser race, she gets the nod ahead of Midnight Flame, who wasn't disgraced at Catterick a month ago. Slingsbytoo is also worth a mention in first-time headgear.

Doncaster runner-up PLATINUM GIRL holds leading form claims. Class-dropper Slingsbytoo is second choice.

11	11 (11) (22/1 +21%) Bayraat		22 22/1(+21%)																															(11) Bayraat 22/1, 11/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 8 days ago. Makes turf debut. Still a maiden and this return to turf presents a question mark.
1	1 1st (1) (3.33/1 +33%) Al Baahy		3.33 3.33/1(+33%)																															(1) Al Baahy 3.33/1, 17/2, good third of 6 in minor event at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 17 days ago. That was a positive start to the season and given he can be free, this drop back in trip may suit. Largely consistent but may struggle to defy top weight, with record 0-15.
2	4 2nd (4) (7/1 +22%) Emily Post		7 7/1(+22%)																															(4) Emily Post 7/1, Latest win at Newcastle in November. 4/1, last of 4 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f). Off 147 days. First run for yard after leaving Edward Bethell. Going into the unknown with headgear removed on debut for new yard.
3	5 3rd (5) (5.5/1 +39%) Lilikoi		5.5 5.5/1(+39%)																															(5) Lilikoi 5.5/1, Latest win at Newcastle in January. 4/1, fourth of 7 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Eased 1 lb. Consistent since her January success; could well pick up more prize-money.
4	13 4th (13) (7.5/1 +32%) Northbound		7.5 7.5/1(+32%)																															(13) Northbound 7.5/1, Reappearance winner at Southwell in April. 5/2, ninth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 28 days ago. Bounce back needed. Won at Southwell on reappearance; disappointing favourite there later in April.
5th	14 5th (14) (40/1 +0%) Variety Island		40 40/1(+0%)																															(14) Variety Island 40/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. 12/1, last of 10 in handicap at this course (5.5f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Back up in trip. Headgear still off. Finished last here on reappearance but 5.5f was likely on the sharp side.
6th	10 6th (10) (4/1 +67%) Zumurud		4 4/1(+67%)																															(10) Zumurud 4/1, Bit below form seventh of 14 in handicap at this course (8f, good to soft, 12/1) 16 days ago. Visor back on and better expected with that reappearance under his belt. Stable has been in excellent form since last Thursday; respected in reapplied headgear.
7th	7 7th (7) (12/1 -9%) Absolute Dream		12 12/1(-9%)																															(7) Absolute Dream 12/1, Ninth of 14 in handicap at this course (8f, good to soft, 20/1) 16 days ago. Given a considerate ride for reappearance and expected to step up on that. Only ninth here on seasonal debut but may fare better this time.
8th	2 8th (2) (14/1 -155%) Rocket Rod		14 14/1(-155%)																															(2) Rocket Rod 14/1, Fourth of 7 in handicap (4/1) at Newcastle (8f) 53 days ago, faring best of those held up. No surprise were he to step up on that reappearance and he's a big player if he can carry that over to turf. Frame possibilities if transferring his AW ability back to turf.
9th	12 9th (12) (18/1 +28%) Mr Trevor		18 18/1(+28%)																															(12) Mr Trevor 18/1, Latest win at Newcastle in November. 22/1, last of 14 in handicap at this course (8f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Return to 7f very much in his favour. Finished last of 14 in 1m contest here on seasonal debut; others preferred.
10th	9 10th (9) (18/1 -13%) Viva Voce		18 18/1(-13%)																															(9) Viva Voce 18/1, Latest win at Southwell in March. 12/1, respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Redcar (7f, heavy) 29 days ago. Looks unfavourably treated, having gained all wins off lower marks.
11th	8 11th (8) (16/1 +11%) First Greyed		16 16/1(+11%)																															(8) First Greyed 16/1, Last of 18 in handicap at Redcar (7f, heavy, 33/1). Off 6 months and still above last winning mark. First-time-out record suggests this reappearance will be needed.

18:30 Wetherby Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

SLAINTE MHATH has been in excellent form recently with wins at Redcar and Hamilton sandwiching a second at Thirsk, and connections send her here under a 5lb penalty looking to make the most of the cut in the ground. Mr Trevor didn't appear to get home over the mile here on his return, but three of his four wins have been over this trip and he could go well, along with top-weight Al Baahy, whose recent Wolverhampton third reads well in this company.

This looks wide open but MR TREVOR should be all the better with his reappearance behind him and with the return to 7f sure to suit he gets the vote. Rocket Rod and Slainte Mhath are fit and in form, which may take both a long way in this.

With his stable form and the return of headgear both big positives, ZUMURUD is preferred. Admiral Nelson is second choice.

1	13 1st (13) (8/1 +43%) Arch Moon		8 8/1(+43%)																															(13) Arch Moon 8/1, 11/1, respectable 4¾ lengths seventh of 12 to Masque of Anarchy in handicap at Pontefract (10f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Can make presence felt. Only midfield behind Masque Of Anarchy on his return but entitled to come on for that..
2	8 2nd (8) (3.5/1 +36%) Auld Toon Loon		3.5 3.5/1(+36%)																															(8) Auld Toon Loon 3.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fourth of 6 in minor event (6/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 17 days ago. Improvement required on handicap debut. Fair novice form and open to improvement now handicapping at this level..
3	6 3rd (6) (150/1 -200%) Very Excellent		150 150/1(-200%)																															(6) Very Excellent 150/1, 125/1, sixth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Doncaster (16.6f, good) 73 days ago. Poor on last Flat outing. Makes limited appeal. Irish form respected but twice nowhere over hurdles for this yard..
4	15 4th (15) (22/1 +67%) Mythical		22 22/1(+67%)																															(15) Mythical 22/1, 25/1, 5½ lengths tenth of 12 to Masque of Anarchy in handicap at Pontefract (10f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Disappointing given early promise and behind some of these at Pontefract..
5th	2 5th (2) (5.5/1 +31%) Western Stars		5.5 5.5/1(+31%)																															(2) Western Stars 5.5/1, Scored on handicap bow at Pontefract last summer and posted solid fifth at same course (8f, good to soft) on return 13 days ago. Looks ready for another crack at this longer trip and enters calculations. Only fifth of seven on reappearance but perhaps needs further than 1m now..
6th	4 6th (4) (22/1 -83%) Frankendael		22 22/1(-83%)																															(4) Frankendael 22/1, Lightly-raced winner. 6/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, heavy). Off 6 months. Others have achieved more. Novice winner; handicap debut was disappointing but conditions were heavy..
7th	11 7th (11) (8/1 -33%) Masque Of Anarchy		8 8/1(-33%)																															(11) Masque Of Anarchy 8/1, Built on solid return when taking 12-runner handicap (13/2) at Pontefract (10f, good to soft) 13 days ago. 3 lb rise fair and another bold bid anticipated. Dug deep to prevail at Pontefract and 3lb rise isn't too harsh a penalty..
8th	1 8th (1) (4/1 +60%) The Menstone Gem		4 4/1(+60%)																															(1) The Menstone Gem 4/1, Latest win at Newcastle in November. Ninth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 16/1) 39 days ago. Back up in trip. Blinkers on 1st time. Figures off a handy mark. 1m too sharp a test last time and could go well if taking to blinkers (on for cheekpieces).
9th	5 9th (5) (20/1 +29%) Outsmart		20 20/1(+29%)																															(5) Outsmart 20/1, Last of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 10/1) 33 days ago. Back up in trip. Something to prove at present. Hard to be confident after finishing last at Newcastle a month ago..
10th	9 10th (9) (18/1 -64%) Jewel Maker		18 18/1(-64%)																															(9) Jewel Maker 18/1, Last of 16 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, good to soft, 40/1) on return 22 days ago. Back up in trip. May have needed that outing but others more appealing. Back on a good mark but the glaring concern is his apparent loss of form..
11th	14 11th (14) (40/1 -43%) Danielsflyer		40 40/1(-43%)																															(14) Danielsflyer 40/1, 1 win from 2 runs this year. Latest win at Newcastle in March. 11/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 46 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Others preferred. All worthwhile form is from 6f to 1m and this is a belated first try over this far..
12th	12 12th (12) (22/1 -57%) Hezmie		22 22/1(-57%)																															(12) Hezmie 22/1, Lightly-raced winner. 66/1, creditable 3¼ lengths fourth of 9 to The Menstone Gem in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f), slowly away. Off 6 months. Others more persuasive. Shock debut winner; latest Newcastle 4th a step back in the right direction..
13th	7 13th (7) (6/1 +20%) Deferred		6 6/1(+20%)																															(7) Deferred 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable third of 6 in minor event (13/2) at Beverley (8.4f, good to soft) 27 days ago, slowly away. Not out of things. Fair third at Beverley last time and returning to 1m2f can help; respected..
14th	10 14th (10) (16/1 +43%) Elshaameq		16 16/1(+43%)																															(10) Elshaameq 16/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Thirteenth of 15 in minor event at Yarmouth (10.1f, heavy, 16/1) 31 days ago. Work to do on handicap debut. Flopped on soft a month ago but that did his mark no harm with a view to handicaps..

19:00 Wetherby Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Masque Of Anarchy likes this trip, with six of his seven career wins over 10f, but he may need a quicker surface to be seen at his best and preference is for DEFERRED, who steps back up in trip after looking outpaced over shorter at Beverley. He can go close off the same mark, though both the penalty-carrying Ayr winner Morning Sun and Pontefract fifth Western Stars could also pick up some prize money.

MASQUE OF ANARCHY added another victory to his impressive haul when scoring at Pontefract earlier this month and remains feasibly treated. He can score again. Morning Sun was having only his second start for Keith Dalgleish when winning at Ayr last week and is feared most, whilst Western Stars can also make his presence felt.

The interesting horse is last week's penalised Ayr winner MORNING SUN (nap), who is well related and has the potential to rate higher.

1	2 1st (2) (12/1 +0%) Ballyare		12 12/1(+0%)																															(2) Ballyare 12/1, 12/1 and blinkered for 1st time (retained here), thirteenth of 16 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, soft) 38 days ago. Now 2 lb lower compared to when a close third at Wolverhampton in February but his strike rate on turf (1-18) is hardly compelling. Excuses last time and on a useful mark following a winless winter..
2	4 2nd (4) (7.5/1 -7%) Hail Sezer		7.5 7.5/1(-7%)																															(4) Hail Sezer 7.5/1, 9/4, bit below form fifth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) when last seen in November, hampered. Won 2 on the bounce prior to that and place possibilities back on turf, provided the word 'soft' doesn't appear in the going description. Lacks a run and perhaps vulnerable anyway dropped to 5f..
3	1 3rd (1) (3/1 +67%) Abate		3 3/1(+67%)																															(1) Abate 3/1, Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, heavy, 12/1) 24 days ago. Given a chance by the handicapper and not ruled out with that reappearance spin under his belt. Mark has dropped for a reason but there were positives to take from Thirsk..
4	9 4th (9) (25/1 -79%) Golden Rainbow		25 25/1(-79%)																															(9) Golden Rainbow 25/1, 9/2, eighth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 46 days ago. Refitting of cheekpieces/subsequent wind op are potentially positive factors but record on turf stands at 0-8. Might benefit from wind surgery and, although 0-8 on grass, he's twice been runner-up..
5th	8 5th (8) (6/1 +0%) Rory		6 6/1(+0%)																															(8) Rory 6/1, Fourth of 6 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good, 5/2) 9 days ago. Remains 4 lb above last winning mark and while he won't be far away if he puts his best foot forward, others make more appeal on balance. Consistent four-time winner and can be forgiven this season's defeats..
6th	7 6th (7) (4/1 -14%) Dandy Spirit		4 4/1(-14%)																															(7) Dandy Spirit 4/1, C&D winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Won 6-runner handicap (11/2) at Nottingham (6.1f, heavy) 4 days ago. More needed up slightly in class here under a penalty if he's to complete the hat-trick. Hat-trick seeker; needs respecting for all that he's penalised in a higher grade..
7th	6 7th (6) (33/1 -50%) Cotai West		33 33/1(-50%)																															(6) Cotai West 33/1, 14/1, last of 11 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, heavy) 24 days ago. That was a heavy defeat (beaten 25 lengths) but the run was probably needed (first start for 8 months) and she's capable of playing a part off this mark if on-song. Temptingly treated but not after such a lacklustre reappearance..
8th	3 8th (3) (3/1 +0%) Bert Kibbler		3 3/1(+0%)																															(3) Bert Kibbler 3/1, Latest win at Southwell in March. Creditable second of 7 in handicap (2/1) at Ayr (5f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Has to be taken seriously off the same mark, particularly if the ground dries out. All wins on the AW but went close at Ayr (5f) on his return to quicker ground..
9th	5 9th (5) (14/1 -56%) Sherdil		14 14/1(-56%)																															(5) Sherdil 14/1, 22/1, below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (5f, heavy) 44 days ago. Entitled to come on for that run and wouldn't be without hope if matching the pick of last season's form. One of 3 representing his yard. Only fifth on his return but wasn't beaten far and the ground was soft (wants it quicker)..

19:30 Wetherby Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

BERT KIBBLER was beaten less than a length at Ayr off this mark last time out and with the number one stall to help him, he could go close for a stable whose horses are running well. Dandy Spirit is looking for a hat-trick after narrow wins over this C&D and at Nottingham but a 5lb penalty may anchor him, leaving Hail Sezer as a bigger danger if he can repeat his all-weather form back on the turf.

BERT KIBBLER bumped into a well-treated rival when hitting the crossbar at Ayr recently and is taken to go one better off the same mark here. Next on the list is Abate, who has been given a chance by the handicapper and will be a threat if building on his reappearance spin at Thirsk, while Sherdil may also come on for his seasonal reappearance and is respected judged on his 2022 exploits. Dandy Spirit is bound to be a popular in his hat-trick bid but has more on his plate here under a penalty.

Preference is for SHERDIL, who would have found the ground too soft on his reappearance. A similar comment applies to Abate.

1	6 1st (6) (7/1 +13%) Bay Dream Believer		7 7/1(+13%)																															(6) Bay Dream Believer 7/1, Unreliable sort but he did run well when second of 7 in handicap at Redcar (1m, good to soft) 12 days ago. Whether he backs it up is another matter. First success looks possible with her yard in such great form at present.
2	9 2nd (9) (28/1 +15%) Red Command		28 28/1(+15%)																															(9) Red Command 28/1, Poor form on Flast in 2022. No better over hurdles since. Likely best watched. Ran well on sole handicap attempt but his overall profile is not solid.
3	2 3rd (2) (3.5/1 +59%) Cloch Nua		3.5 3.5/1(+59%)																															(2) Cloch Nua 3.5/1, Won twice on AW last autumn. 14/1, respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7f) 53 days ago. Remains 5 lb above his last successful mark. Return to Class 6 looks ideal but he's 0-5 on turf and weighted to the hilt.
4	7 4th (7) (5.5/1 -144%) Iron Sheriff		5.5 5.5/1(-144%)																															(7) Iron Sheriff 5.5/1, Snapped a losing run in 1¼m Newcastle handicap 11 days ago but doesn't have the profile of one likely to follow up after a 7 lb rise in the weights. Emphatic success on AW last time; hard to dismiss back on turf.
5th	5 5th (5) (4.5/1 +50%) Martin's Brig		4.5 4.5/1(+50%)																															(5) Martin's Brig 4.5/1, Dual winner at Southwell (both 7f) in December. Creditable efforts in defeat since and likely to be competitive again. Two AW wins in December and has proved consistent since, including on turf.
6th	8 6th (8) (18/1 +0%) Rum Runner		18 18/1(+0%)																															(8) Rum Runner 18/1, Twenty four runs since last win in 2020. 16/1, last of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (7f) 7 days ago. Others more persuasive. On a long losing spell and this year's efforts are unconvincing.
7th	3 7th (3) (3.5/1 +0%) Swinging Eddie		3.5 3.5/1(+0%)																															(3) Swinging Eddie 3.5/1, Built on good reappearance third when back to winning ways at Beverley (7.5f, soft) 15 days ago. Should give another good account. Got up in the final strides at Beverley last time; still favourably treated.
8th	1 8th (1) (6/1 +8%) Drakeholes		6 6/1(+8%)																															(1) Drakeholes 6/1, Winner at Newcastle in December. 17/2, creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at Southwell (7f) 8 days ago, running on. Placed on turf last year. One to consider. AW winner for current yard; placed on turf for previous stable; could go well.

20:05 Wetherby Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

IRON SHERIFF drew clear of his rivals in decisive fashion in an apprentice contest at Newcastle last time out and it would be no surprise if the five-year-old can repeat that feat in this contest, despite a 7lb hike in the ratings. 2lb of that rise is negated by Jonny Peate now being able to claim his full 5lb allowance and this drop back to a mile shouldn't pose many problems. Swinging Eddie kept on to lead in the final strides at Beverley last time out and demands respect off 4lb higher, while Drakeholes warrants consideration stepping up in trip in these calmer waters.

SWINGING EDDIE might be able to defy a 4 lb rise for Beverley. Esticky End did well at a similar time last year and could be a threat on his reappearance, particularly if the betting vibes are strong. Martin's Brig and Drakeholes are others who should be in the shake-up.

With her yard in excellent form, BAY DREAM BELIEVER could well get off the mark. Swinging Eddie is second choice.

1	7 1st (7) (1.5/1 +33%) Premiership		1.5 1.5/1(+33%)																															(7) Premiership 1.5/1, Much improved to win 12-runner handicap at Pontefract (1m, good to soft, 20/1) on reappearance 13 days ago, powering clear in the closing stages. A 5 lb rise may not stop him if showing up in similar form. Won convincingly on his return from a break at Pontefract; can be inconsistent..
2	5 2nd (5) (10/1 -100%) Kodebreaker		10 10/1(-100%)																															(5) Kodebreaker 10/1, Latest win at Southwell in March. Creditable third of 17 in handicap (25/1) at Doncaster (7f, heavy) 18 days ago. Likely to be in the shake-up again. Ran well to be third in a big field over 7f at Doncaster behind a filly in form..
3	8 3rd (8) (11/1 +56%) Mr Heinz		11 11/1(+56%)																															(8) Mr Heinz 11/1, Modest maiden. Cheekpieces on first time, sixth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (1¼m) on reappearance 11 days ago. Back down in trip. Eight-race maiden who ran moderately on his return from a lengthy break only 11 days ago..
4	6 4th (6) (5/1 +0%) Makalu		5 5/1(+0%)																															(6) Makalu 5/1, Creditable placed efforts both starts this term and each-way claims again. Placed on soft this season and perhaps better on this ground; turn looks near..
5th	4 5th (4) (25/1 -213%) Dandys Derriere		25 25/1(-213%)																															(4) Dandys Derriere 25/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. 9/2 and tongue strap on first time, first run since leaving Brian Meehan when last of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) 36 days ago. Can only be watched on the back of that. Joined this yard for 7,000gns and he didn't run much of a race at Wolverhampton..
6th	1 6th (1) (3.33/1 +39%) Fiftyshadesofred		3.33 3.33/1(+39%)																															(1) Fiftyshadesofred 3.33/1, Showed benefit of reappearance run when creditable third of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford (7f, 13/2) 33 days ago, running on. Has a lower mark to work with on turf. It was a belated return to form when a closing third over 7f at Chelmsford..
7th	3 7th (3) (12/1 +14%) Temper Trap		12 12/1(+14%)																															(3) Temper Trap 12/1, 33/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Thirsk (1m, heavy) 10 days ago. Need to see more. Getting back on a drier surface will help and there's nothing wrong with his current mark..
8th	9 8th (9) (50/1 +0%) Nooo More		50 50/1(+0%)																															(9) Nooo More 50/1, Remains a maiden after 16 starts. Last of 11 in novice at Doncaster (6f, heavy) 18 days ago. More realistic chance back in a handicap but still hard to make a case for. Outclassed in a novice last time but he's now 0-16 and has had his chances in handicaps..
9th	2 9th (2) (14/1 -75%) Kenilworth King		14 14/1(-75%)																															(2) Kenilworth King 14/1, Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford (1¼m) 26 days ago. Well held only start on turf but it's too soon to suggest he won't prove effective on the grass. Just missed out on the places at Chelmsford (1m2f) after yet again racing freely..

20:40 Wetherby Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

KODEBREAKER has been knocking on the door of late and gets the nod to record a fourth career victory. The son of Kodi Bear hit the line with plenty of conviction when third of 17 over 7f last time out at Doncaster and rates a big player off just 1lb higher, with the step up in a trip to suit. Premiership kicked clear of his rivals at Pontefract on his latest outing and rates the most immediate danger off 5lb higher. Fiftyshadesofred also warrants respect now eased in grade.

PREMIERSHIP was well on top at Pontefract so a 5 lb rise looks more than fair. Fiftyshadesofred could be a dangerous opponent off his lower turf mark. Kodebreaker and Makalu are also likely to be on the premises.

So long as his good run at Chelmsford proves no false dawn then FIFTYSHADESOFRED should go well off a handy mark.
