13:50 York (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

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

The Man returned to the fray with an impressive display over 5f at the Dante meeting, while Trefor finished a fine second at Windsor and may also feature. Vintage Clarets landed the Shergar Cup Dash in good style last time, but could only manage eighth in this last year behind the runner-up JORDAN ELECTRICS. Jim Goldie's sprinter found the smart Jm Jungle too good on that occasion and another bold bid looks likely with a couple of recent runs under his belt. Brazen Bolt and Squealer are others to consider.

New cheekpieces could give Vantheman a lift and he is second choice but BRAZEN BOLT is preferred in his hat-trick bid.

Gewan

5.5
11/2(+66%)
(2) Gewan 11/2, Touch green but won very readily in good novice when a 1 1/4l winner in a novice at Newbury on debut; that form franked; top course trainer; bred to be a miler, hits ground hard; nice attitude, smart prospect
Others have stronger form but his Newbury win (7f, good to firm) was a promising start.

Italy

2.25
9/4(-38%)
(4) Italy 9/4, Yard won this last year; suspicion slightly mugged by racing away from winner second beaten 1 1/4l in Superlative Stakes (Group 2) at Newmarket (July) latest; debut win franked at Listed level; may not want ground too fast; huge colt, open to further improvement
Won at Leopardstown; second of seven when 4-6 in 7f Group 2 at Newmarket eight weeks later.

Distant Storm

1.1
11/10(+27%)
(1) Distant Storm 11/10, Well backed, excellent effort in good maiden despite mild greenness when a short-head winner in a maiden at Newmarket (July) on debut; that form working out very well; trainer in form; bred for 8-10f; big, strong colt, exciting prospect
Cost 1,900,000euros in May; short-head win at Newmarket but lots behind him have won since.

(7) Rochfortbridge 18/1, Touch green late but came clear with second when a 3/4l winner in a maiden at Ayr on debut; that form boosted at Listed level; bred for a mile; strong sort, good attitude, should improve
28-1 at Ayr (7f, good to soft) but tidy winner from a 2-13 favourite who had notable form.
5th

5th (5) May Angel (12/1 +64%)
May Angel

12
12/1(+64%)
(5) May Angel 12/1, Improved from debut and going away line when won a novice at Southwell by 2 1/4l last time; effective 7f, quite speedily-bred, may not want ground too firm; plenty to find with Italy on collateral form
Scored with authority at Southwell (7f, AW) second start but this is a much stiffer task.

(8) Sovereign Ocean 150/1, Won despite being very green when a neck winner in a maiden at Musselburgh on debut; stays 7f though speedily bred; very attractive colt, can rate much more highly but this a big ask
The sort to do a lot better after Musselburgh debut win but others have much better form.

Slow-starting 4th in Goodwood Group 2 (7f, good; 25-1) is some of the best form in this.

14:25 York (Class 1) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Italy separated a couple of Godolphin runners when finishing a creditable second in the Superlative Stakes at Newmarket. That form should give Charlie Appleby a good handle on the chances of DISTANT STORM and the latter could prove the one to side with. The son of Night Of Thunder beat a couple of subsequent winners when making a winning debut in a hot maiden at Newmarket and can take this step up in class in his stride. Goodwood Galaxy's fourth in the Vintage Stakes can be marked up as he missed the break, while May Angel is another to note.

Goodwood Galaxy was a Group 2 fourth at Goodwood but preference is still for DISTANT STORM and Italy.

Dual Derby winner; a more testing 1m4f would seem ideal, but clearly the best form chance.

15:00 York (Class 1) 11f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Aidan O'Brien has won the last two renewals and LAMBOURN looks set to retain the prize for the Ballydoyle handler. The Derby winner was less impressive when landing the Irish equivalent at the Curragh, but will be fresher for this and is difficult to oppose, despite a 5lb penalty. Pride Of Arras has been gelded after a couple of poor displays behind the selection. He won the Dante on the Knavesmire in fine style back in May and could launch a challenge if returning to that level, while the progressive Carmers won the Queen's Vase at Ascot and is preferred to Arabian Force.

Dual Derby hero LAMBOURN is odds-on but it's a field packed with interest. Carmers is the most plausible threat.

Ombudsman

(3) Ombudsman 7/4, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; not the ideal trip, but probably reproduced Brigadier Gerard form second beaten a neck in Coral-Eclipse (Group 1) at Sandown latest; trainer in form; may have been flattered by pace collapse at Ascot but still big player
Impressive at Royal Ascot then caught late by Delacroix in the Eclipse; very solid claims.

Others have more substance to their form but this unbeaten French challenger is respected.

15:35 York (Class 1) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

This year's renewal might be short on numbers but there is no doubting the quality on show, and OMBUDSMAN is fancied to get his revenge having been touched off by Delacroix in the Eclipse last month. Although arguably worth more than the winning margin would suggest that day, the Gosdens' colt is now 3lb better off. His Prince Of Wales' triumph still lives fresh in the memory and if returning to that level of form, he could prove a tough nut to crack. Japanese raider Danon Decile was last seen defeating the classy Calandagan in the Sheema Classic so he merits plenty of respect, while the unbeaten Daryz can't be overlooked either.

Preference is for DELACROIX, such was the impression he made in coming from last to first at Sandown. Danon Decile is feared most.

16:10 York (Class 2) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Last year's Cesarewitch hero Alphonse Le Grande wasn't beaten far into eight in the Ascot Stakes last time out and is entitled to plenty of respect from an unchanged mark, as is Dancing In Paris, who hit the woodwork in a similar contest at Goodwood latest. That being said, a chance can be taken on TERRORISE. This is undoubtedly tougher than last month's C&D triumph, especially now 8lb higher. However, he is completely unexposed over staying trips on the Flat and may have much more in the locker.

After the traffic problems at Royal Ascot, ALPHONSE LE GRANDE can gain some compensation. Terrorise is feared most.

16:45 York (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

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

SARAHMAE travels over from Ireland after a comfortable victory at the Curragh recently and although she has a lot more to do here, a fast-run five furlongs could see her finishing her race better than most. Luna A Inbhir Nis won here at the end of July when holding on narrowly to score by a neck but she has 5lb more here in better company which makes her task more difficult, so Galaxy Zoo is preferred as the main threat after coming from off the pace to win comfortably at Ascot.

The prolific and speedy LUNA A INBHIR NIS (nap) won here last time and is the selection ahead of Mademoiselle then Lady Roxby.

17:20 York (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Trainer Richard Fahey has won this three times in the last 10 years and he relies on UTMOST RESPECT. The son of Invincible Spirit got off the mark at the third attempt with an easy win at Hamilton, when coming from off the pace, and a mark of 87 looks fair enough. Dublin Bay is looking for his hat-trick but an added 10lb makes his life difficult, while Old Is Gold and Temple Of Athena are others to consider.

This is very competitive but the ease with which DUBLIN BAY came clear at Doncaster suggests he could be well in even after a 10lb rise.

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.
