4	4 (4) (4.5/1 +50%) Tajawal		4.5 4.5/1(+50%)																															(4) Tajawal 4.5/1, Made most of good opportunity when off the mark in an Ayr maiden (1m) back in June and dispelled a lesser effort on handicap debut when third at Newcastle (1m) 7 weeks ago, challenging away from pair that beat him. Gelded since an encouraging third at Newcastle and Buick is booked.
1	5 1st (5) (7/1 +7%) Florida		7 7/1(+7%)																															(5) Florida 7/1, Tongue strap on for first time when excellent third of 12 in handicap at Kempton (1m) 18 days ago on first run following a gelding operation. Well-bred colt should have more to offer. Best form has been on the AW but he should be effective on this faster surface.
2	6 2nd (6) (6.5/1 +0%) Theme Park		6.5 6.5/1(+0%)																															(6) Theme Park 6.5/1, Bought for 200,000 gns after winning a 7f Kempton novice for Sir Michael Stoute last September. Good second in a C&D handicap for new yard in May but has failed to build on that as expected since. Interesting on some of his form and might be better for being gelded.
3	1 3rd (1) (3/1 -20%) Real Gain		3 3/1(-20%)																															(1) Real Gain 3/1, Overcome a wide stall when winning 14-runner maiden at Kempton (1m) on debut in November. That form worked out quite well and he maintained unbeaten record 8 months on at Chelmsford. Makes handicap/turf debut with promise of more to come. Promising colt who is 2-2 on the AW; mark looks okay but fast ground is a grey area.
4	3 4th (3) (4.5/1 +18%) Bajan Bandit		4.5 4.5/1(+18%)																															(3) Bajan Bandit 4.5/1, Has taken his form up a notch for his current yard, winning 7f handicap at Haydock and here in recent months. Nose behind Catch The Paddy over C&D last time, sticking to his task and there shouldn't be much between them. Returns here on back of two competitive runs at the track, over 7f and 1m.
5th	8 5th (8) (20/1 +9%) Reidh		20 20/1(+9%)																															(8) Reidh 20/1, Ran just about his best race yet when second of 5 in handicap at Haydock 50 days ago. Settling better with experience and he can remain competitive. Yet to win but got to within a length of a subsequent winner at Haydock last time.
6th	2 6th (2) (3.33/1 +0%) Catch The Paddy		3.33 3.33/1(+0%)																															(2) Catch The Paddy 3.33/1, Won a 6f course nursery last summer and enhanced excellent York record when runner-up in 1m handicap 16 days ago. Nudged up 1 lb and he should give it a good go. Runs his best races here and latest second over this trip was right up there.

LTO Selection:

14:15 York Handicap (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Real Gain is open to further progression now he switches to turf after two narrow-margin wins on the all-weather and fits the profile of a colt with a bright future. However, the previous Knavesmire experience held by CATCH THE PADDY earns him the vote. Having finished a close second in the Sky Bet Mile over C&D last month, he can go one place better off just 1lb higher. Bajan Bandit is closely matched with the selection and commands respect, while Harlem Nights is also seriously considered.

It's easy to be positive about this bunch of 3-y-os with REAL GAIN just about the most persuasive option given he defends an unbeaten record and promises to go on improving. Catch The Paddy and Bajan Bandit finished second and third in a C&D handicap at the Ebor meeting and are a couple of potential threats.

Although unraced on fast ground, according to his pedigree there's every chance that FLORIDA will improve for it.

1	1 1st (1) (1.1/1 +37%) Yorkindness		1.1 1.1/1(+37%)																															(1) Yorkindness 1.1/1, Free-going type who has enjoyed a productive summer, winning a trio of Pontefract handicaps (all 17.1f). Fair run at Musselburgh latest and could be tough to pass if allowed to dictate matters and settling. Three wins this year, all over 2m1f at Pontefract; solid 3rd latest; should be bang there.
2	2 2nd (2) (2.25/1 +36%) Gibside		2.25 2.25/1(+36%)																															(2) Gibside 2.25/1, Has won at Carlisle and this track over much shorter this term. Has shaped better than the bare result the last twice, and while he takes a sizeable hike in distance here he's of real interest in a race that could become tactical. Ground and track no concern but below par the last twice and 2m a step into the unknown.
3	4 3rd (4) (2.5/1 -25%) Tendentious		2.5 2.5/1(-25%)																															(4) Tendentious 2.5/1, With cheekpieces refitted, back to form when winning 11-runner handicap at Redcar (14f, good to firm) 2 weeks ago, up there throughout. Another here who won't be hanging around and not ruled out with stamina proven. Engaged 6.10 Thirsk Saturday. Back to form with a Redcar win (1m6f) 15 days ago; non-runner at Thirsk yesterday.

14:45 York Handicap (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

YORKINDNESS finished third at Musselburgh when attempting to make it a hat-trick of victories and Charlie Johnston's filly, who brings the most solid recent level of form to the contest, has been found an ideal opportunity to strike once again. Tendentious is likely to be the main threat following his Redcar success when seeming to benefit from cheekpieces being reapplied. Red Force One and Gibside both have something to prove on recent evidence.

This could get messy but if YORKINDNESS can settle in front it's easy to see her making all. Gibside is an unknown quantity over this sort of trip but he's yet to run a bad race at York and could emerge as the danger.

The safest option looks to be YORKINDNESS as she bids for her fourth win of the season.

1	3 1st (3) (1.2/1 +40%) Tropical Island		1.2 1.2/1(+40%)																															(3) Tropical Island 1.2/1, Won 5f Ripon maiden on debut in July and much more like it when going close over 6f in useful novice there 3 weeks ago. Looks well-in for her nursery debut with William Buick up. Plenty to like and sure to go well if breaking on terms (slowly away first 2 starts). Went very close in the Hornblower at Ripon; still open to further progress; respected.
2	4 2nd (4) (5.5/1 -22%) Batal Zabeel		5.5 5.5/1(-22%)																															(4) Batal Zabeel 5.5/1, Off the mark on handicap debut in 5f Beverley contest a fortnight ago, looking awkward again but coming clear late on. Respected back over 6f. Made a successful nursery debut at Beverley two weeks ago; may improve further.
3	1 3rd (1) (4/1 +27%) Watch My Tracer		4 4/1(+27%)																															(1) Watch My Tracer 4/1, Has won 6f novices on fast ground at Windsor and Yarmouth and ran well in the Coventry in-between. Disappointing in sales race at Newmarket a fortnight ago though and work to do off his mark now handicapping. Worth his allotted big weight, provided the form of his Coventry effort is repeated.
4	2 4th (2) (5/1 +58%) Nazalan		5 5/1(+58%)																															(2) Nazalan 5/1, Made all in 5f Sandown novice on second start but limitations rather exposed since, merely plugging on in C&D sales race 17 days ago. Step up needed now handicapping. Has kept good company since novice win, most recently eighth in sales race here.
5th	7 5th (7) (18/1 -29%) Sennockian		18 18/1(-29%)																															(7) Sennockian 18/1, Decent start in 5f/6f contests but ran a shocker at Ayr when last seen in July. Given a break and no surprise to see him get back on the up now handicapping. Form dipped when last seen but this Johnston colt may bounce back; nursery debut.
6th	5 6th (5) (14/1 -211%) Taygar		14 14/1(-211%)																															(5) Taygar 14/1, Made a successful debut at Beverley early on. Better effort since when third at Redcar and that form is looking good (winner now rated 89, Big Evs in second rated 106, fourth on 95). Firm player if she can improve now handicapping after break up in trip. Split useful performers when last seen; interesting on return from layoff.

15:15 York Handicap (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

In an open event, marginal preference is for TROPICAL ISLAND, who was only narrowly denied in a good novice event at Ripon. Now switched to nursery company, Richard Fahey's filly could be hard to stop off an opening mark of 83. Batal Zabeel is an obvious threat following his successful handicap bow at Beverley, while Media Shooter edges out Watch My Tracer to be best of the rest.

TROPICAL ISLAND looks well-in for her nursery debut after a fine effort at Ripon and makes plenty of appeal under William Buick. Batal Zabeel is feared most, although Taygar could do better now handicapping after a break with her Redcar form looking very good.

The suggestion is TAYGAR who looks well handicapped on her last novice effort. Tropical Island is second choice.

1	1 1st (1) (3.33/1 +17%) Commanche Falls		3.33 3.33/1(+17%)																															(1) Commanche Falls 3.33/1, Dual Stewards' Cup winner who has made his mark outside of handicaps this season, winning Curragh listed and Newbury Group 3 (both 6f) in July. Bit below form when 4 lengths fourth back at the Curragh last time. Should be thereabouts but a 5 lb penalty for the Group 3 win demands a career best. Two wins in July but form dipped last time; not best at the weights, under 5lb penalty.
2	6 2nd (6) (9/1 +0%) Juan Les Pins		9 9/1(+0%)																															(6) Juan Les Pins 9/1, Has won 4 6f handicaps and been placed in an Ayr Gold Cup and Wokingham since being claimed by connections last summer. Another cracking run when third in a Newmarket listed race last month but Emaraaty Ana was 2 lengths ahead in second. One place behind Emaraaty Ana at Newmarket most recently; could go well again.
3	5 3rd (5) (2/1 -14%) Emaraaty Ana		2 2/1(-14%)																															(5) Emaraaty Ana 2/1, Group 1 winner over 6f in 2021 and placed in the Nunthorpe, Haydock Sprint Cup and Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint last season. Disappointed on his first 2 starts this year but back on track when edged out by Lezoo in a 6f Newmarket Listed race last month. Leading claims. Has several pieces of G1 form; close second in Listed event at Newmarket last time.
4	4 4th (4) (5.5/1 +27%) Diligent Harry		5.5 5.5/1(+27%)																															(4) Diligent Harry 5.5/1, Dual winner over this trip on AW this year and ran a blinder when narrowly denied by Commanche Falls in the Hackwood at Newbury (6f, good) in July. Claims if he can shrug off a lesser run at Newmarket since. 0-11 on turf but nearly beat Commanche Falls at Newbury on penultimate outing.
5th	9 5th (9) (4.5/1 +10%) Rage Of Bamby		4.5 4.5/1(+10%)																															(9) Rage Of Bamby 4.5/1, Placed in the Group 2 Rockfel as a juvenile. Disappointed in an AW listed race on her reappearance in April but got her career firmly on track when second of 14 in 5f course handicap at last year's Ebor meeting. Will be fine back at 6f and capable of making a bold bid. Ran well off top weight in handicap at the Ebor festival; may improve further; respected.
6th	8 6th (8) (18/1 -29%) Perdika		18 18/1(-29%)																															(8) Perdika 18/1, Bagged a pair of listed wins in France this year and also placed at a similar level in Britain in the spring. Disappointing back in France last time but she's capable of shrugging that off. Has first-time cheekpieces added to her regular tongue tie. Dual Listed scorer on French soil but needs a career best to land this prize.
7th	7 7th (7) (12/1 +0%) Desert Cop		12 12/1(+0%)																															(7) Desert Cop 12/1, Posted a smart effort to win a valuable conditions race at Newcastle (6f, AW) on Good Friday. Also second in a 6f Newbury Listed and sixth of 17 in King's Stand at Royal Ascot at the start of the summer. Freshened up since a disappointing run in handicap company at Newmarket in July. Second to Shaquille in May; this 3yo may still have more to offer; not dismissed.
8th	3 8th (3) (66/1 -313%) Anthem National		66 66/1(-313%)																															(3) Anthem National 66/1, Very good 1¼ lengths second of 10 to Commanche Falls in listed race at the Curragh (6f, good to firm) on his final outing for Joseph O'Brien but started out for new connections on a low note when down the field in an Ebor meeting handicap last month. Ran well on final start for Joseph O'Brien; lesser effort over C&D last time.

15:50 York Listed (Class 1) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Successful in the Haydock Sprint Cup this time two years ago, EMARAATY ANA proved he still has plenty of zest when narrowly denied in Listed company at Newmarket. That was a particularly encouraging effort and given that he was won over C&D, the son of Shamardal should have too much for Hackwood winner Commanche Falls. Rage Of Bamby almost sprung a surprise in a handicap at the Ebor Festival here and is another to consider, along with the capable Diligent Harry.

EMARAATY ANA tends to come good at this time of year so Kevin Ryan's very classy 7-y-o is well worth a chance to build on his back-to-form second at Newmarket last month. Rage of Bamby, ran a corker in handicap company at the Ebor meeting and looks next best.

The vote goes to RAGE OF BAMBY (nap), who holds solid claims off bottom weight back at Listed level. Emaraaty Ana is feared most.

1	10 1st (10) (5.5/1 +8%) Anjo Bonita		5.5 5.5/1(+8%)																															(10) Anjo Bonita 5.5/1, Has made a positive start for her current yard and scored with something up her sleeve in a 7-runner event at Hamilton last month. More to come, so very much respected. This is deeper than at Hamilton but should be in the thick of it off 4lb higher.
2	13 2nd (13) (3.33/1 -11%) Mathematician		3.33 3.33/1(-11%)																															(13) Mathematician 3.33/1, Left previous form well behind when scoring at Newcastle last time and his pedigree/connections give him the scope for further progress, so capable of following up. Only 3lb higher than for Newcastle victory and there's scope for further improvement.
3	7 3rd (7) (28/1 -56%) Award Dancer		28 28/1(-56%)																															(7) Award Dancer 28/1, 9/2, 17½ lengths last of 11 to Jewel Maker in handicap at Redcar (10f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Others have achieved more. Ran no race at all behind Jewel Maker last time and has questions to answer over this far.
4	9 4th (9) (12/1 +33%) Bosc Girl		12 12/1(+33%)																															(9) Bosc Girl 12/1, Hasn't had much racing and upped his game when a clear second (despite pulling hard) at Doncaster onn penultimate outing. Failed to back that up at Chepstow but shouldn't be written off. Three times runner-up but 0-6 overall and Chepstow last time was underwhelming.
5th	8 5th (8) (6.5/1 +46%) Highwaygrey		6.5 6.5/1(+46%)																															(8) Highwaygrey 6.5/1, Hasn't won for a while but he's slipped in the weights as a result and there have been more encouraging signs lately. Worthy of interest in first-time cheekpieces. Well handicapped and was third last time over an inadequate 1m1f; now in cheekpieces.
6th	2 6th (2) (25/1 -25%) Animato		25 25/1(-25%)																															(2) Animato 25/1, Largely held his form well last term, adding to his tally at Doncaster (11.9f). Hasn't fired so far this term but shaped as if retaining ability when eighth at same track last time, so not ruled out from a handy mark. He wasn't beaten all that far at Doncaster last time after a break; could step up on that.
7th	3 7th (3) (10/1 +60%) Piecederesistance		10 10/1(+60%)																															(3) Piecederesistance 10/1, Won at Pontefract 12 months ago and turned his best effort of the season when runner-up in that corresponding event on penultimate outing. Latest run at Sandown was disappointing, though. Never been the easiest to win with and can race freely as was the case last time.
8th	1 8th (1) (8.5/1 +0%) Eeetee		8.5 8.5/1(+0%)																															(1) Eeetee 8.5/1, Bagged handicaps at Haydock and Redcar during the spring and one of his 2 victories last year was gained over this C&D. Latest effort here best excused (met trouble), so dangerous to rule out. 7lb higher than for his success in this race last year and he was in better form back then.
9th	5 9th (5) (7.5/1 -88%) King Triton		7.5 7.5/1(-88%)																															(5) King Triton 7.5/1, 17/2, good sixth of 10 in handicap at Ripon (9.8f, good) 12 days ago, met some trouble and finished with running left. Well treated and seems to be building up to something. Okay in two 1m2f handicaps this season without smacking of a winner waiting to happen.
10th	12 10th (12) (25/1 -25%) Jewel Maker		25 25/1(-25%)																															(12) Jewel Maker 25/1, Back on the scoreboard when taking 11-runner handicap at Redcar (10f, good to firm) in August and might have found the race coming too soon at Beverley a week later. Faces another quick turnaround now, though. Probably needs more than when winning a Class 5 at Redcar last month and poor since.
11th	11 11th (11) (16/1 +27%) Jo's Rainbow		16 16/1(+27%)																															(11) Jo's Rainbow 16/1, Winner at Haydock in June but has failed to beat a rival on both starts since. Capable filly as she showed at Haydock in June, but not beaten a rival since then.
12th	4 12th (4) (7.5/1 +17%) Shimmering Sands		7.5 7.5/1(+17%)																															(4) Shimmering Sands 7.5/1, Career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Doncaster in June and at least respectable efforts last two starts. Should be on the premises. Weak in the finish last time but his previous fourth here brings him into the equation.
13th	6 13th (6) (25/1 -39%) Feel The Need		25 25/1(-39%)																															(6) Feel The Need 25/1, Has been in reasonable heart lately but he didn't look any more straightforward in a first-time visoor at Redcar last time. Hard to win with. 0-9 in handicaps and was beaten just under 5l when third in a first-time visor at Redcar.

16:25 York Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

ANJO BONITA appeared to win with something in hand on just her second appearance for Roger Fell and Sean Murray at Hamilton recently. The Harry Angel filly is fancied to complete a double off 4lb higher at the expense of Mathematician, who enters the reckoning on the back of his all-weather success at Newcastle last month. A 3lb rise is unlikely to prevent another bold bid, while Highwaygrey and Feel The Need are others to note.

MATHEMATICIAN and Anjo Bonita are both 3yos going the right way and they may well dominate against, on the whole, more exposed types. Preference is for the first-named, who is bred to go on progressing, and of the remainder King Triton looks the most appealing.

Although SHIMMERING SANDS flattered to deceive last time, he's unlikely to be far away with a repeat of his previous effort here.

1	8 1st (8) (7/1 +22%) Looking For Lynda		7 7/1(+22%)																															(8) Looking For Lynda 7/1, Front-runner who has got back on track of late with cheekpieces added, eighth of 20 in handicap here (5.4f, good to firm) 18 days ago. In the picture. Ran a cracker over a bit further at the Ebor meeting; 3lb drop looks generous; interesting.
2	12 2nd (12) (33/1 -18%) Wen Moon		33 33/1(-18%)																															(12) Wen Moon 33/1, Scored at Pontefract in April but he's been in and out since, only fifth of 6 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, soft) 36 days ago. Others appeal more. Pontefract winner in April (6f, soft) but subsequent efforts suggest he's up against it.
3	2 3rd (2) (6/1 +0%) Pillow Talk		6 6/1(+0%)																															(2) Pillow Talk 6/1, C&D winner who posted a respectable fourth of 14 in handicap back at this C&D 18 days ago. Visor goes on now and can't be ruled out. Well suited by C&D and won't need much more for the fitting of a visor to play a key role.
4	11 4th (11) (16/1 +43%) Brooklyn Nine Nine		16 16/1(+43%)																															(11) Brooklyn Nine Nine 16/1, Returned with 6f Newcastle success and looked to be on the up until (first-time cheekpieces) only eighth of 10 in handicap at Leicester (6f, good to firm) in May. No surprise to see him bounce back after a break. 6f AW winner in March & went close on h'cap debut in April; less good latest; drops to 5f.
5th	4 5th (4) (12/1 +33%) Lakota Blue		12 12/1(+33%)																															(4) Lakota Blue 12/1, Scored at Ripon in April and in good form since until only twelfth of 18 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good) 22 days ago. Sort to bounce back. Goodwood 2nd (soft ground) gives him claims but he may need more of a test than this at 5f.
6th	16 6th (16) (14/1 -17%) Profitable Edge		14 14/1(-17%)																															(16) Profitable Edge 14/1, Ex-Irish filly who has been a different proposition for this yard, easily winning 5f handicap at Ripon in August before good third of 11 at Chester (5f) 8 days ago. Not taken lightly in first-time cheekpieces. Good run at Chester last time but the cheekpieces will need to prompt further progress.
7th	10 7th (10) (20/1 +20%) Swift Asset		20 20/1(+20%)																															(10) Swift Asset 20/1, Back to winning ways at Bath in July but only eleventh of 12 in handicap at Sandown (5f, good) 8 days ago. Merits consideration if shrugging off latest effort. Form dipped at Sandown last week and he looks vulnerable in this grade.
8th	3 8th (3) (20/1 +39%) Grace Angel		20 20/1(+39%)																															(3) Grace Angel 20/1, Earned her second front-running victory of the year at Haydock in June but in nowhere near the same form at Chepstow and Doncaster since. Bounce back needed. Struggled the last twice; looks vulnerable given the amount of other early speed on show.
9th	1 9th (1) (4/1 -14%) Squealer		4 4/1(-14%)																															(1) Squealer 4/1, C&D scorer in 2022 who resumed winning ways in impressive style at Doncaster (5f) 22 days ago. Up 7 lb but another bold showing is on the cards. Had been threatening prior to an impressive Doncaster win last month; up 7lb but feared.
10th	18 10th (18) (28/1 -40%) Northcliff		28 28/1(-40%)																															(18) Northcliff 28/1, Remains a maiden after 16 runs and comes here below par, cheekpieces tried when tenth of 17 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good) 22 days ago. Blinkers are reached for now. Contender on last year's best but it's been a struggle in recent months; new headgear.
11th	14 11th (14) (20/1 -11%) Match Play		20 20/1(-11%)																															(14) Match Play 20/1, Resumed winning ways at Haydock in June and backed it up with a good third of 7 at Redcar (5f, good to firm) 78 days ago. Needs considering. Ran OK off this revised mark at Redcar in June; can do better but such progress is needed.
12th	13 12th (13) (14/1 +0%) Miss Brazen		14 14/1(+0%)																															(13) Miss Brazen 14/1, Went in on second start for this yard at Beverley in May but in a bit of a lull until posting a good third of 10 to Squealer at Doncaster (5f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Needs to back it up. Only 3rd to Squealer last time but she's capable on her day and looks on a fair mark.
13th	17 13th (17) (25/1 -25%) Honour Your Dreams		25 25/1(-25%)																															(17) Honour Your Dreams 25/1, Got off the mark for 2023 at Hamilton in July and recorded a good second of 11 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. Boasts more ability than his mark suggests but that still might not be enough here.
14th	9 14th (9) (10/1 -11%) Spirit Of Applause		10 10/1(-11%)																															(9) Spirit Of Applause 10/1, Scored at Haydock in May and has caught the eye on his last two starts, latest when smooth-travelling fourth of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Very much one to consider back at 5f. 6f winner in May; a couple of good runs since but others look stronger in this field.
15th	6 15th (6) (9/1 -13%) Dream For Gold		9 9/1(-13%)																															(6) Dream For Gold 9/1, Winner at Chelmsford City in February but he found his good run of form coming to a half when only seventh at Ripon (6f, good) 22 days ago. Shouldn't be written off for last year's winning yard. Up in weights after two 2nds in July; fast 5f asks a different question of him.
16th	15 16th (15) (11/1 +21%) Star Of Lady M		11 11/1(+21%)																															(15) Star Of Lady M 11/1, Four-time winner as a juvenile who arrives in decent nick, left poorly placed when seventh of 14 in handicap over C&D (good to firm) 18 days ago. In the mix. Down in weights but unable to take advantage; not beaten far here latest; can't rule out.
17th	5 17th (5) (18/1 +36%) Tatterstall		18 18/1(+36%)																															(5) Tatterstall 18/1, Landed Wolverhampton maiden on return before doubling his tally with a career-best victory at Epsom in June. Last of 10 to Squealer at Doncaster (5f, good to firm) 22 days ago though so has a bit to prove. Looked good at Epsom on Derby day but he's struggled twice since, running poorly latest.

16:55 York Handicap (Class 3) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

The impressive recent Doncaster winner Squealer could be vulnerable after a 7lb rise in the ratings. Dream For Gold, Brooklyn Nine Nine and Star Of Lady M all have to be of some interest but PILLOW TALK may take some stopping if a first-time visor has the desired effect. Karl Burke's lightly-raced filly showed up well at a higher level over course and distance last time out and looks more than capable of winning off her current mark.

This looks wide open but SQUEALER rates the pick of the weights despite taking a 7 lb rise for his ready Doncaster success so edges the vote. Spirit of Applause should find this return to the minimum trip in his favour so rates the chief danger, although the likes of Thunder Moor, Looking For Lynda and Profitable Edge all command plenty of respect too.

Karl Burke holds a strong hand in a competitive event with LOOKING FOR LYNDA marginally preferred to Pillow Talk.

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.
