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

All of these have claims, but marginal preference is for ASPECT ISLAND. James Owen's colt put in a career best when second over 7f at Kempton and the pace he showed that day suggests that he may improve over this distance. Gouken catches the eye on his nursery debut after displaying plenty of ability in novice/maiden company, while the progressive Elara May completes the shortlist.

A trappy nursery. GOUKEN ran at top tracks before finishing second at Ffos Las where he got lit up after an early bump.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

BALTIC FLEET was far from disgraced when filling fifth on his debut over a mile at Windsor earlier in the month and George Boughey's colt can put that experience to good use here. Green Falcon has to be noted, but his most recent effort at Goodwood was underwhelming so Starship Trooper and New Bay Star could prove to be bigger threats on their first outings.

A Royal Lodge entry looks fanciful but GREEN FALCON is a strong form contender on his penultimate fourth in France.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Gullane Girl got off the mark at Salisbury last month and another good run can be expected. However, a 4lb rise demands more from her and the vote goes to KALOKALO. The son of Space Blues was only narrowly beaten when second at Leicester last week and is 3lb well-in. The rest all have questions to answer, but Wild Thoughts is the pick of them.

A chance is taken on the now-gelded handicap debutant WILD THOUGHTS who is now sent over a more suitable trip.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

WICKET KEEPER finished stone last in the Ayr Gold Cup Trial in July, but it's hard to imagine that was a true reflection of his ability. The son of Kodi Bear completed a double in maiden/novice company prior and could bounce back on just his second handicap outing. Last year's winner First Folio made the frame in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon and is a serious threat. The returning Al Karrar is another to keep an eye on.

Question marks over all five runners. BELGRAVE (nap) should have his ground today and he could bounce back to his 2yo best.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

LEMURIAN appreciated the application of blinkers when going in by just over two lengths at Windsor and a 6lb rise might underestimate his authority that day. With a similar performance, he will prove a tough nut to crack. Dream Pirate finished third at Wolverhampton recently and has to be respected off an unchanged rating. The hat-trick seeking Dashing Donkey holds an obvious chance too.

The new blinkers enabled LEMURIAN to deliver easily his best form yet to win at Windsor and he's bred to be better than this level.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Stepping up in trip looks like a good move for KING'S CASTLE following a staying-on third over 1m4f at Epsom and he could be set to make it three wins in his last four starts. Kuredu King has strong claims if bouncing back to the form of his July success at Haydock, while Adjuvant has dropped to a mark 3lb lower than his last victory, which admittedly came back in May 2023.

A trappy six-runner handicap. Class-dropper ADJUVANT might be worth risking as he has competitive form in far stronger company.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Successful at Chelmsford, RUSHEEN BOY is likely to have plenty more improvement forthcoming off 3lb higher and he can follow up for a fifth career victory. Runner-up on three of her last four starts, Amber Honey is expected to be thereabouts again, as is Mbappe, who wasn't beaten far at Ffos Las. Others to note include Born A Rebel and Chloe's Courage.

The 4yo SEDGEMOOR won off a higher mark when with the Hannon yard and he contested a Class 4 on second run for this yard.

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.
