Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Based on the summary, 7/1 (14) HANNAH'S RETURN and 7/1 (7) CONNIE'S ROSE seem to be the strongest contenders as they both have recent wins and good performances in their last races. 4/1 (2) THE PRINCES POET also seems to have a good chance, as they have a recent win and perform well when fresh. 4.5/1 (1) ROGUE STAR, 7/1 (8) BIG BARD, and 28/1 (11) DAZZERLING could also potentially be in the mix. 7.5/1 (5) JOY CHOI, 9/1 (4) KONDRATIEV WAVE, 16/1 (13) ON EDGE, 20/1 (3) KYBER CRYSTAL, 22/1 (9) FIRENZE ROSA, 25/1 (10) PORT NOIR, 33/1 (15) SOLDIER'S SON, 40/1 (12) THE COLA KID, Spirit of Cahala, and 100/1 (16) TRIDEVI are less likely to do well based on their recent form and past performances.

The Gary Moore stable can do little wrong at present and preference is for BIG BARD, who bounced back to form with a solid runner-up effort at Lingfield last month. The five-year-old went close over C&D last October and he is taken to master the likes of course regular The Princes Poet and Hannah's Return, who makes her turf debut having won at Kempton last time out. Others to note include Connie's Rose, Joy Choi and Rogue Star.

CONNIE'S ROSE made an encouraging seasonal reappearance at Bath earlier this month and, entitled to come on for that, she could be the answer. Provided she takes to turf, dual all-weather scorer Hannah's Return will be a live danger, while The Princes Poet performed well on his return both last year and in 2021, and he is likely to be in the mix, too. Another for the shortlist is Big Bard, who has slipped to a dangerous mark.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Based on the summary, 2.75/1 (8) RELIEF RALLY and 5/1 (5) LADY WULFRUN seem to have the strongest pedigrees with successful siblings and good potential. 6/1 (4) GAIDEN also represents a top yard and may be worth watching in the betting. 10/1 (1) ALWAYS LOVE YOU and 12/1 (2) DAINTY LADY also have promising pedigrees and should be noted in the market. It is unlikely that 11/1 (7) PICKLED PEPPER, 66/1 (9) TEARS OF A CLOWN, and 66/1 (10) TEJESUENO will perform strongly on debut.

Not beaten far on her debut at Kempton when only wilting from the front close home, TOKYO DRIFT showed more than enough ability to suggest that she can get off the mark in a race like this. A sister to a debut winner herself in Koropick, Relief Rally looks the pick of the newcomers, ahead of Gaiden, who is a daughter of Mehmas, an excellent influence on speed.

All but one of these are debutantes and the market will be informative. RELIEF RALLY is bred to be speedy and she gets the nod ahead of Gaiden and Lady Wulfrun. Always Love You is also appealing on paper and Tokyo Drift, who was a close third on her introduction at Kempton, could put her experience to good use and make a bold bid.

Dominic Ffrench Davis has made a bright start with his 2yos and ALWAYS LOVE YOU gets the nod. Relief Rally is second choice.

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

Based on the summary, 2.25/1 (4) SHADOW DANCE seems to be the most promising horse with a strong pedigree and a promising second-place finish in its debut race. 3.33/1 (3) PROSPER LEGEND also shows potential, having placed fourth in its debut race and expected to improve with a longer distance. 4/1 (2) ORDER OF MALTA and 11/1 (1) CHARLIE'S CHOICE have both struggled in their previous races and may be less likely to perform well.

PROSPER LEGEND didn't set the world alight on his debut at Kempton earlier in the month, but he was plenty green on that occasion and got the hang of things late on to finish a never-nearer fourth. With improvement expected on the step up in trip, he is narrowly preferred to well-bred newcomer Shadow Dance and Understated, who performed with plenty of promise on her debut in January.

This can go to UNDERSTATED, who pulled clear of the remainder when a promising second on her debut at Kempton in January. Prosper Legend may be the main danger.

Unlucky not to finish closer on his comeback, ORDER OF MALTA gets the vote on his turf debut. Prosper Legend rates the main threat.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well based solely on this summary, as they all have different levels of experience and varying degrees of success in their previous races. However, 1.2/1 (5) SUNSET POINT and 4.5/1 (1) MAID IN KENTUCKY both have three previous wins and recently won minor events at Lingfield, which could give them an advantage in this handicap race. 6/1 (2) DAYZEE also has a recent third place finish in a handicap race and is now up in trip on turf, which could make her a strong contender. 6.5/1 (4) SWIFT LIONESS is lightly-raced but coming off a career-best win and could also perform well with the step up in trip. 9/1 (3) YOUNG AND FUN and 10/1 (6) SYDNEY MEWS may not be the top contenders in this race based on their recent performances.

Maid In Kentucky was sent on from the start to win over a mile at Lingfield in March, but she steps up in trip for her handicap bow and it will be interesting to see if the same tactics are employed. SUNSET POINT does not hold any classic entries for Charlie Appleby, but she did quicken up nicely to win going away at Lingfield over a mile, and may be better suited by this trip. Swift Lioness and Sydney Mews are also noted.

The one with the most striking potential is SUNSET POINT, who improved with each of her 3 starts as a juvenile and it's likely that this well-bred filly will make further progress now faced with a stiffer test on this handicap/turf debut. Dayzee didn't do much wrong when third on her handicap bow at Southwell and is feared most ahead of Maid In Kentucky and Swift Lioness.

From a family that get better with age, SUNSET POINT is open to further improvement now upped in trip on her turf debut.

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

Based on the summary, the horse that is predicted to do well is 4.5/1 (4) SO SMART as it is described as a

Pat Cosgrave has an enforced holiday to come but he may add another winner first if SO SMART improves for his short-head Yarmouth second on his first start of the year. Caught on the line that day, he would be a deserved winner. Stable companion Level Up is entitled to have a say, but if Sarah's Verse makes the most of the eight stall, she may be the bigger danger.

The vote goes to SPOOF, who looked unlucky when going down narrowly at Yarmouth where he was denied a clear run at a crucial stage. He has clearly resumed in good order (also went close on his seasonal reappearance at Doncaster) and remains on a handy mark. So Smart, who was just ahead of the selection when second in the aforementioned Yarmouth handicap, is feared most ahead of stablemate Level Up.

A dual C&D winner who won't mind any further rain, SPOOF can turn things round with So Smart.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Based on the summary, 3.5/1 (5) LAWN RANGER seems to be the most likely to do well since it has recently scored its fourth win at the same course and is expected to be a top contender despite having a 4 lb penalty to carry. 4/1 (4) WARHOL and 5/1 (2) GOD OF THUNDER are also mentioned as contenders and ones to watch out for, but 3.5/1 (5) LAWN RANGER seems to have the strongest recent form. The rest of the horses seem less likely to win or place in the race.

Lawn Ranger won his first race since 2021 when steered to the front by Robert Havlin, who keeps the ride this afternoon as the eight-year-old looks to follow up under a 4lb penalty. He can go well, but if WARHOL steps up on his course third off the same mark, the added yardage here may see him emerge victorious. God Of Thunder is another who warrants plenty of respect as he returns from a gelding operation.

WARHOL didn't get the clearest of runs when a good third on his reappearance at this course last week and is taken to go one better. Lawn Ranger and God of Thunder should also go well.

Course specialist Lawn Ranger should go well again but VISSANI has been offering more of late and can bounce back.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Based on the summary, 2.75/1 (3) MRS MEADER and 5.5/1 (8) RICK BLAINE seem to be the strongest contenders as they have recent good form in handicaps and are both lurking on dangerous marks. 3.33/1 (5) WATERLOO SUNSET and 12/1 (6) MANOR PARK could also be in the mix based on their recent performances and track record. 4/1 (1) TALAP, 12/1 (7) CHARGO, 14/1 (2) WISE GLORY, and 50/1 (9) OCEAN REACH seem to have more to prove or have been out of form for a while.

MRS MEADER performed with credit during a six-race campaign last year, winning three times. It's possible she needed the run when fourth on her reappearance at Doncaster 23 days ago and she may well be up to posting a personal best with that effort under her belt. Waterloo Sunset is open to improvement over the trip and is feared, while Chargo also merits consideration.

Cases can be made for a few of these, but MRS MEADER enjoyed a fruitful 2022 campaign and, having shaped as if the run was needed when fourth on return at Doncaster recently, Julia Feilden's mare can regain the winning thread. Waterloo Sunset found trouble at a crucial stage on reappearance recently so he could emerge as the main danger, with Rick Blaine and Talap also considered.

Entitled to have come on for her comeback, MRS MEADER can make it four wins from her last six starts. Waterloo Sunset is next best.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

It is difficult to determine with certainty which horse will do well based on the summary provided. However, 3/1 (5) SPARKS FLY and 5.5/1 (7) HARRY THE HAGGLER seem to have shown recent improvement and have performed well in previous races. 16/1 (4) WINTER MOON is also worth considering as she is making her handicap debut and may improve.

TWILIGHT GUEST is still low mileage and looks an interesting betting proposition with first-time cheekpieces applied. This will be only his second attempt over 1m and, given he was racing off the back of a 187-day absence at Yarmouth nine days ago, it's feasible to expect an improved effort today. Chinthurst and Greavsie have form that ties in with the selection and are feared most, although support in the betting market for Harry The Haggler would be dangerous to ignore.

A tricky finale to solve but SPARKS FLY again shaped well having conceded first run when third at Wolverhampton last month, so David Loughnane's filly gets the nod to make a winning start on turf. Racing Demon took another step back in the right direction at Kempton last week so he could be the one to give the selection most to think about, ahead of Man Made of Smoke and Harry The Haggler.

Second to a subsequent winner last month, HARRY THE HAGGLER (nap) remains open to improvement. Sparks Fly is second choice.
