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

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well based solely on this summary, but 4/1 (6) GHOSTLY seems to be a strong contender. Another horse that could potentially place is 7.5/1 (4) BALGOWAN, who has shown improvement in recent races and has the assistance of a top amateur jockey. For third place, it could be a toss-up between 10/1 (1) KITTEN'S DREAM, who has a course win under their belt, and 12/1 (12) QUIET THUNDER, who has the potential to surprise if she is having a good day.

Forgetmenotblue has slipped back to a fair mark and she can go well for the in-form Karl Burke yard, while Fen Tiger should strip fitter for his return at Thirsk last month and has claims on the pick of his form. However, preference is for TRIBAL COMMANDER, a C&D winner who ran well for second over 1m6f here off this mark on his reappearance and should appreciate the drop back in trip.

GHOSTLY encountered traffic problems at a crucial stage when finishing a place adrift of Tribal Commander over 1¾m here last month and, granted better luck this time, the 5-y-o may well emerge on top. The selection shaped that day as though he would be suited by stepping back up to this trip. With Simon Walker in the hot-seat, Balgowan is third choice and King Charles also merits consideration.

Unsuited by the way the race panned out here last time, GHOSTLY can turn things round with Tribal Commander.

1st: 1.88/1 (8) CUE'S BEAU 2nd: 7/1 (2) BEAU VINTAGE 3rd: 2.5/1 (3) CHRISZOFF

CUE'S BEAU let her supporters down when beaten half a length at Chelmsford last month, but she kept on well that day to suggest the added furlong now may see her get off the mark at the third attempt. Third Batch was also a beaten favourite when only fourth at Lingfield last time but that was over further and he can get involved now dropped back in trip, while Chriszoff and Brigitte are potential improvers who might get into the mix where it matters.

Ready preference is for CUE'S BEAU, who again found just one too good in a Chelmsford maiden last time. She wasn't seen to best effect on that occasion and promises to be suited by this stiffer test. Chriszoff shaped with promise on his introduction at Kempton and is next on the list ahead of another likely improver in Beau Vintage. Melwood Boy and Third Batch both have claims on form but they seemingly lack the scope of the aforementioned trio.

Beau Vintage is interesting, but preference is for CHRISZOFF, who shaped nicely at Kempton in a race that didn't pan out ideally.

Based on the summary provided, it is difficult to confidently predict which horse will do well. However, 3.5/1 (4) MAN MADE OF SMOKE and 7.5/1 (8) BAILAR CONTIGO seem to have the strongest claims. Therefore, the predicted order of finish for the top three horses would be: 1) 3.5/1 (4) MAN MADE OF SMOKE 2) 7.5/1 (8) BAILAR CONTIGO 3) 3/1 (2) LILLISTAR (as the summary suggests improvement is expected now that the horse is upped in trip for its handicap debut)

Man Made Of Smoke could go well after his second over C&D in late March, but he is yet to win after 20 starts and has an added 2lb from the handicapper. ZAKRAM has looked all at sea on both starts this season but they were on soft ground and his best form has been on the all-weather, including a win at Lingfield last year. He could surprise if back to his best, with Stolen Encounter an interesting alternative if the cheekpieces bring about improvement.

This can go to MAN MADE OF SMOKE, who posted his best effort of the year when runner-up over C&D last time and remains fairly treated. Lillistar and Bailar Contigo can also make their presence felt.

Several dark ones in here from likely yards. The market will help sort things out, with BAILAR CONTIGO given the nod as things stand.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Based on the summary, 3.5/1 (3) LAWMANS BLIS and 1.88/1 (1) GLORY AND HONOUR are likely contenders for 1st and 2nd place. For 3rd place, it could be either 3/1 (2) THIS ONES FOR FRED or 3.33/1 (5) EAGLE'S REALM depending on their performance and market support.

Glory And Honour was arguably an unfortunate loser having been denied a clear run over an extended 2m here eight days ago. He merits respect today, though the drop in trip isn't certain to be of benefit and, with that in mind, a chance can be taken on THIS ONES FOR FRED. Now back in the care of David Evans having left the Alan King team, he's on a competitive mark and is likely to appreciate this test of stamina. Lawmans Blis heads the remainder.

EAGLE'S REALM won a couple of races over timber last summer and remains capable of better on Flat. He gets the nod. Glory And Honour rates the chief threat.

This could become tactical and LAWMANS BLIS, who usually comes to hand early, is taken to build on his recent C&D third.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

It is difficult to accurately predict which horse will do well based on this summary as each horse has both positive and negative attributes mentioned. However, 2.75/1 (1) FULL PRIME seems to have a good track record and has recently won a handicap race at Kempton. She also has experience on the track's Tapeta surface, which could give her an advantage over some of the other horses. 7.5/1 (2) LADY NAGIN has also won two of her last three starts over 6f at Southwell and could be a contender. 7.5/1 (6) ALL IN THE HIPS has won two races this year and had a career best performance in her last start. However, she is carrying a 2lb higher weight in this race, which could affect her performance.

FULL PRIME arrives having notched up a brace of successes at Kempton. The latest of those came in a warm class 4 event and the daughter of Mehmas would appear to hold leading claims again, though the switch to Tapeta would be a slight query. That shouldn't faze All In The Hips, who kept on determinedly to justify favouritism at Windsor, while others to note include Lady Nagin and First Of May.

The unexposed FIRST OF MAY showed plenty of promise in two starts at the backend of last year and, with the prospect of further progress now switched to handicap company off a potentially handy mark, she could be the answer. Full Prime has been nudged up just 2 lb for her narrow success at Kempton a fortnight ago and won't go down without a fight in her hat-trick bid, while All In The Hips added to her C&D success in March when scoring at Windsor recently and she is also accorded respect.

Although lacking a recent run FIRST OF MAY made a good impression on her final 2yo start and looks the type to do better this year.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Based on the summary, 1.88/1 (5) MUCKY MULCONRY and 3.5/1 (2) TURBO TIGER seem to be the strongest contenders as they both have recent good performances in handicaps and favorable conditions. 4/1 (4) ALAINN TU and 4/1 (1) DEIRA STAR have also shown promise but may need to improve further to win. 12/1 (6) GINNY JO and 25/1 (3) BODEGA NIGHTS seem to have less favorable chances. However, as an AI language model, I cannot guarantee the accuracy of my predictions.

TURBO TIGER filled second place over 5f at this venue on Saturday and the step back up in trip could help him to go one better here. Mucky Mulconry made the frame in a similar event at Lingfield last time and is likely to be in the mix once again, while Deira Star edges out Ginny Jo to be the pick of the remainder.

A tardy start proved costly for MUCKY MULCONRY at Lingfield last month and, provided he's sharper off the blocks this time, he will have every chance off the same mark. Turbo Tiger responded well to the first-time visor when runner-up over 5f here recently and will be a threat if performing to a similar level back at this trip. He is second choice ahead of Deira Star.

Six maidens go to war and the vote goes to the ex-Irish MUCKY MULCONRY, who's shaped much better in two runs for his new yard.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Based on the summary, 3.33/1 (6) PLUMETTE is likely to do well as they have previously won five times on the course and have scored three times over the current distance. Although they have been below par in their last two outings, they are only slightly above their last winning mark and are considered a consistent performer. 2.5/1 (3) SHARVARA also has a good chance as they had a very good second place finish in a C&D handicap in March and, although not in the same form in their last outing, are still considered for the running. The other horses mentioned in the summary have less favorable characteristics or are not in their best form, but it ultimately depends on the specific race and competition.

SHARVARA's best recent effort came when runner-up over C&D on his penultimate start and the four-year-old, who didn't get the rub of the green throughout that contest, gets the vote to bounce back from a underwhelming display at Chelmsford. Asadjumeirah has been running consistently well of late and he is likely to enter calculations along with Plumette, who has won twice here this year.

Another chance is given to SHARVARA, who was disappointing last time but had posted a personal best here previously and remains on a fair mark. Plumette is feared most in a tricky-looking contest.

Following a disappointing 2022, BRASIL POWER (nap) is nicely handicapped back with his former yard. Sharvara is also well treated.
