13:56 Naas 8f - 7 Run Speed Edge Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	7 1st (7) (3/1 +54%) Bobby Mcgee	3 3/1(+54%)	(7) Bobby Mcgee 3/1, Needed every yard up in trip at stiff track when winning a handicap here by a short-head last time; top course jockey; effective 7-8f, acts on soft and good; very smart and looks well handicapped, unexposed at 1m. Promise at two, 2-2 this season, C&D handicap win latest, another big step forward needed.
2	6 2nd (6) (14/1 -40%) Victory Tip	14 14/1(-40%)	(6) Victory Tip 14/1, Looked outclassed though may not have stayed 10f down the field in Ballysax Stakes (Group 3) at Leopardstown most recent; stays 1m, will get further, acts on heavy; testing conditions may suit best. Beat Shaftesbury Avenue on debut, last in Ballysax Stakes, must rebound back in trip.
3	2 3rd (2) (9/2 +0%) Latin America	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(2) Latin America 9/2, Ran to form when winning an auction race at Navan by 2 1/4l last time; stays 10f, probably get further, acts on heavy; quite taking debut which has been boosted and should progress again but drop in trip may not be ideal. Off the mark on second start at Navan (1m2f), drop back to 1m a query but in the mix.
4	3 4th (3) (15/2 -114%) Port Ferdinand	7.5 15/2(-114%)	(3) Port Ferdinand 15/2, Improved from debut just flattening out late up in trip, needed run 2 1/4l third in a 3yo race at Cork most recent run; top course trainer; effective 7f at 2yo, gets 10f, middle-distance bred; open to marked improvement this term. 7f maiden win here on debut, 1m2f stretched him latest, Moore prefers stablemate.
5th	1 5th (1) (11/2 +39%) Accredited	5.5 11/2(+39%)	(1) Accredited 11/2, Improved from debut relishing stiff track at the trip when winning a maiden here by 2 1/2l last time; top course trainer; off a short-break; effective 7f, acts on soft, AW, will get further; well bred for top yard, more to come. 7f win on soft here on seasonal return, rated 97, deserted by Moore but can't discount.
6th	5 6th (5) (2/1 -14%) Shaftesbury Avenue	2 2/1(-14%)	(5) Shaftesbury Avenue 2/1, Improved under positive handling in first time cheekpieces when winning a maiden at Navan by 2l last time; top course trainer; effective at 8f on heavy; half-brother to a Grade 1 winner and more to come for top yard, latest form franked. Both starts on heavy, pedigree suggests quick ground will be a huge plus, picked by Moore.
7th	4 7th (4) (25/1 -56%) New Radical	25 25/1(-56%)	(4) New Radical 25/1, Needed every yard down in trip, improved for debut experience when winning an auction race at Bellewstown by a short-head last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 1m, acts on AW; latest form franed, should progress again. Off the mark by a head at Bellewstown, form boosted, may be more to come; cheekpieces.

Navan maiden victor LATIN AMERICA can successfully step up in grade here. Sent off odds-on for that second racecourse start, the Johnny Murtagh-trained colt got the job done with the minimum of fuss. While the bare form of that race is nothing special, his second-placed effort at the Curragh on debut in March has worked out extremely well. Granted normal improvement on this third start, he looks the one to beat. Derby entrant Port Ferdinand was beaten in a tactical race on his return at Cork but should be all the better for that outing. Bobby Mcgee shouldn't be ruled out either.

Ryan Moore has chosen to ride SHAFTESBURY AVENUE and the American bred colt could improve exponentially for this quicker ground

14:17 Ripon (Class 5) 16f - 6 Run Speed Edge Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (4/1 -14%) Trojan Soldier	4 4/1(-14%)	(3) Trojan Soldier 4/1, Ran to form benefitting from first time cheekpieces landing a handicap by a nose off a 2lb lower mark at Southwell last time; effective 10-14f on good and AW; progressive, form franked, unexposed as a stayer. Stays 2m and he's a player if transferring this year's AW improvement back to turf.
2	1 2nd (1) (3/1 +40%) Scottish Dancer	3 3/1(+40%)	(1) Scottish Dancer 3/1, Ran to form benefitting from easy lead back on the Flat landing a handicap by a neck off a 2lb lower mark at Thirsk last time; effective 14-16f, wants sound surface; remains on competitive mark. 33-1 outsider of five for Thirsk 1m6f win; back up just 2lb and return to 2m may well suit.
3	5 3rd (5) (13/2 +24%) Vaguely Royal	6.5 13/2(+24%)	(5) Vaguely Royal 13/2, Ran to form beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Southwell last time; effective 12-16f, acts on good, fast ground and AW; not one to rely on. Has another career-low mark but it's hard to know when he will take advantage.
4	7 4th (7) (7/2 -17%) Rupert The Prince	3.5 7/2(-17%)	(7) Rupert The Prince 7/2, Mistakes, may not have stayed when second beaten 60l in a novice hurdle at Kelso latest; effective 14-16f on Flat; all to prove back hurdling. Fair third over C&D on his only Flat run this year and peak form gives him a good shout.
5th	6 5th (6) (11/1 +8%) Elemental Eye	11 11/1(+8%)	(6) Elemental Eye 11/1, Again below form back on Flat beaten 6l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; off a short-break; suited by 14f+, acts on soft and good to firm; remains 5lb above last win mark. Cheekpieces return and stepping back up in trip should suit, so he needs a close look.
6th	2 6th (2) (11/4 -10%) No More Bolero	2.75 11/4(-10%)	(2) No More Bolero 11/4, Scored by 3 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark at Bath penultimate start; ran to form second beaten a length off 73 last time, 1lb higher here; effective 14-17f on sound surface; in form in both codes, respected off new mark. Ready winner at Bath (2m1f) and good second over C&D (good) eight days later; player.

Plenty in with chances in the opener and TROJAN SOLDIER just edges it given he showed his battling qualities to gain a deserved success on the all-weather at Southwell last time. Going back up in trip shouldn't be a problem and he was performing well on turf this time last year, so switching to the grass shouldn't inconvenience him either. Rupert The Prince is a model of consistency and joins Scottish Dancer and No More Bolero on the shortlist.

No More Bolero is second choice but SCOTTISH DANCER could go well again despite the surprise and tactical nature of his Thirsk win.

M'den winner ran a decent race in second h'cap in final start last term; needs more.

Easy winner on return but follow-up attempt perhaps came too quickly; not discounted.
13th	12 13th (12) (11/1 +8%) Senna's Girl	11 11/1(+8%)	(12) Senna's Girl 11/1, Ran to form benefitting from first time cheekpieces 3l third in a maiden at Limerick most recent run; effective 7/8f, acts on heavy and good; capable of a good run back in a handicap. 0-14 but has gone close; good runs last twice and not out of it.

Runner-up in the Spring Mile at Doncaster last time, FAR FROM DANDY can go one place better. The Stephen Thorne-trained gelding had previously run a huge race when staying on late to finish fourth in the Irish Lincoln at the Curragh. Freshened up since that latest run, the four-year-old should be spot on for this assignment. Red Charlie, who suffered a nightmare passage when second over 7f at the Curragh, holds every chance and is noted along with Cork winner Final Voyage.

Running a career best when a runner-up in the Spring Mile at Doncaster, FAR FROM DANDY has strong claims of going one better here

Kept on steadily for modest fourth at Chepstow last month; further progress possible.

Bumper winner OUR GUIDE took a step forward from his debut fifth over hurdles to land the odds at Exeter last month and is likely to have more to offer. This sizeable step up in trip could unlock any amount of improvement and he will prove tough to beat. Granite Sands was never dangerous when only fifth on his first start over obstacles at Hereford, but he could build on that display to have a say. Ka Mate Du Brivet looks best of the rest.

Ka Mate Du Brivet is respected, but slight preference is for 2m Exeter winner OUR GUIDE who might improve again over this new trip.

BAI TONG couldn't land a telling blow on debut at Thirsk but is entitled to have improved from that effort and could be worth another chance for a yard known for having winning juveniles at this time of year. Redcar fifth Cheeky Chesca boasts a similar profile to the selection and is one to note, but the main danger is The Can Can Queen following her creditable Beverley display.

Although she fluffed her lines on debut BAI TONG may be the answer with that experience behind her. The Can Can Queen is next best.

STAR PROSPECT had What A Girl Wants back in third when making a winning debut at the Curragh. The Starman colt had to come between horses to launch his challenge and should benefit from that experience, while connections are happy to keep him at the minimum distance for the time being. What A Girl Wants was subsequently second to an easy winner in Listed company back at the Curragh, where all-weather winner New Yorker (third) was too keen. Pala Aurelia was an expensive breeze-up purchase and is from a good family.

Starman colt STAR PROSPECT got off the mark immediately at the Curragh and has a good chance of following up

Miss Denver ran better than her odds suggested she would when third at Newton Abbot earlier in the month and has to be of interest on her chasing bow. Course winner Cawthorne Cracker also needs to be taken seriously, but CAPTAIN COOL has only found one too good the last twice over the smaller obstacles and could prove a different proposition now sent over fences.

Irish point winner CAPTAIN COOL ended last season in good form over hurdles at Sedgefield and is given the verdict.

The Cookstown Cafu commands close attention on the back of his all-weather success at Newcastle, while similar sentiments apply to Musselburgh winner Spirit Catcher. FINLAGGAN makes most appeal, though, on the basis that he improved markedly on his handicap debut at Pontefract, when finishing a neck second, and is likely to have a lot more to come. The booking of Cieren Fallon suggests connections are confident.

The only one of these on an upward curve is FINLAGGAN who was runner-up at Pontefract last month. The danger is The Cookstown Cafu.

Very few can be ruled out in this maiden and Irish Oaks entrant ELMAKAYA gets a tentative vote. The daughter of Wootton Bassett shaped well on debut in a strong maiden at Leopardstown five weeks ago and should step forward. Solana Beach is a half-sister to several smart winners and was notably green when second to a highly-rated colt at Gowran. Guardian Of Realm was placed on all three all-weather starts last year, but wasn't progressive and was twice turned over at odds-on. By Too Darn Hot and making her debut, Mai Dahlia represents a yard in irrepressible form, while expensive yearling Rebel Wave is another newcomer to note.

Narrow preference is for SOLANA BEACH who looks almost certain to improve for quicker ground and the step up to 1m

Jena D'oudairies appreciated the application of blinkers for the first time to strike at Taunton and should mount another bold bid, but it may pay to side with I AM THE MOON. The seven-year-old finished an underwhelming fourth in this class at Chepstow last month but, with Sam Twiston-Davies back on board and a 2lb lower rating, she could be the way to go. All Inn Hand is another to note.

Back on track with a win in first-time blinkers last month, JENA D'OUDAIRIES has a good opportunity to follow up.

Mind Those Steps shaped with promise when finishing third on his introduction at Ripon and is bound to take a step forward, but a chance can be taken on newcomer THIS MOMENT. George Boughey's colt is a half-brother to Dickensian, who placed in the Flying Childers as a juvenile and landed Listed honours at York earlier in the week. Therefore, it would be no surprise to see the son of Showcasing make an instant impression. Thai Ginger completes the shortlist.

Alpine Girl showed her appreciation for the return to turf when going in over 5f at Pontefract and she is just as effective at this trip. Saffron Dandy and Lebron Power give Richard Hannon a decent hand, while Powdering has slipped to 1lb below her last winning mark. Space Bear arrives in good form, but SHALLOW was only just denied at Yarmouth by a mare who went on to make the frame in Group 3 company and Richard Spencer's five-year-old probably meets nothing of that calibre here.

Alpine Girl should go well but SHALLOW (nap) returned to form at Yarmouth last month and could enjoy the run of the race.

Runner-up in the Dewhurst at two, EXPANDED was unable to make an impact in a light campaign last year but his reappearance run at Leopardstown was highly encouraging. The Wootton Bassett colt made up a lot of ground in the straight to chase home stable first string The Lion In Winter. With the run under his belt, he'll be hard to beat from a good draw. Once fitted with a visor, Karl Burke's Native Warrior was a big improver in handicaps last season and ran to his new mark when second in a Group 3 at Saint-Cloud in March. East Hampton should progress from his seasonal debut second in a Listed contest at the Curragh.

Coming home strongly for second on his return, EXPANDED is a big player with that run under his belt.

Look no further than A LITTLE SOMETHING. She has done more than enough in finishing second at Ludlow and Fontwell the last twice to suggest a race of this nature is well within her compass. Little Wren was pulled up at Plumpton, but is better judged on her previous Fakenham success for champion trainer Dan Skelton. Miss Fedora is next best.

Still on a workable mark after running a big race in defeat at Fontwell last month, A LITTLE SOMETHING has solid claims.

Gouken clearly benefited from his winter break and being gelded when shedding his maiden tag on his return at Newcastle, and he needs to be considered back in handicap company. Dandy Breeze has done little wrong in his three starts so far, finishing in the top two in each of them, and he should remain competitive. However, MARCELLINUS comfortably won by two lengths on his handicap bow at Bath last month and will prove very hard to beat.

There was a lot to like about the win of RED SPELLS DANGER on his first go over 6f at Ripon and he can follow up on his handicap debut

Ralph Beckett is usually worth following when he sends one to Ripon so the hint must be taken with ZEN DIVA. The daughter of Sergei Prokofiev let down favourite-backers on her final two appearances as a juvenile, but she lost little in defeat and can get off the mark in first-time cheekpieces. The others with experience don't inspire much confidence so it may be a newcomer who puts up the biggest fight, with 420,000gns Ardad filly Black Orchid obviously the most interesting. Kyrenia is worth a second glance.

Black Orchid\b, bred to be smart, is of obvious interest but \bZEN DIVA has the benefit of experience and can make a winning return.

Paddy Twomey expected VELOZEE to take a big step forward from her debut win at Cork and the daughter of Sioux Nation easily beat three rivals in a Listed race at the Curragh earlier this month. She steps up to 6f for the first time and is taken to maintain her unbeaten status, with a visit to Royal Ascot likely to be next on the agenda if all goes well here. C&D winner Victorious will pose a threat for Aidan O'Brien and Ryan Moore, while Vollering won in taking style at Redcar and merits respect as well. Newcomer Controlla is from a yard with a lot of juvenile talent.

Velozee is taken on with the promising VICTORIOUS (nap) who made a big impression when winning a C&D maiden on debut last month

FRANK STAMPER ought to take a bit of beating in this handicap hurdle. A lacklustre Wincanton display aside, he has performed well at Plumpton and Fontwell on two of his last three outings and a repeat of either of those efforts should be good enough here. Galactic Jack showed a bit more at Taunton and is noted along with Mi Sueno.

Warren Greatrex's FRANK STAMPER shaped very much as though his turn is near when second at Fontwell last month and he gets the nod.

Savrola never finished outside of the top two in any of his five starts last year and remains on a workable mark on his reappearance. Ghaiyya readily returned to winning ways at Doncaster and is respected, but it's hard to get away from VALIANCY. William Haggas' charge showed improvement to score in first-time cheekpieces in a hot handicap at Haydock in September and may have more to offer this season.

Savrola and Putapoundinthejar bring notable positives but a rematch between Valiancy and RIDE THE THUNDER may hold the key.

ARRANMORE has been in fine fettle on Tapeta, finding only one too good when attempting to complete a Southwell double. A 1lb rise isn't ideal given his age and, therefore, lack of scope for improvement, but he is the only runner who arrives in good form. Fellow veteran Ring Of Gold has also been holding his own on the all-weather, although he has never managed to win on turf. Oilisa, Woodleigh and Barleybrown may be the bigger threats.

Most of these are fully exposed but one that may have more improvement in her is OILISA. The chief threat could be Arranmore.

Last season's Norfolk Stakes winner was workmanlike on return but improvement likely.

With a winning seasonal return behind him, CHARLES DARWIN looks the one. He was running for the first time since his success in the Group 2 Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot last June when landing a Listed contest at Navan last month, and can take this step back up in grade in his stride. Havana Anna was twice a course winner last season and went close to a Group 1 victory when runner-up to True Love in the Cheveley Park at Newmarket in September. However, this is her first run of the new term and the one who may give the selection most to think about is Royal Bay Cen.

Although workmanlike when winning on his return, CHARLES DARWIN improved throughout last season and can show the benefit of that run

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

TAPLEY clearly appreciates a sound surface and is taken to gain a second C&D success following his March victory off 3lb lower. The nine-year-old drops in grade after his recent third at Newton Abbot and this appears to be a fine opportunity for him to strike. A first-time visor might aid the cause of Bagheera Ginge on his first outing since October, while King Roly is entitled to bounce back from a below-par outing at Perth.

The most interesting runner is arguably OKAVANGO DELTA (nap), who has a good record when fresh is partnered by Sean Bowen.

Jordan Electrics still retains plenty of enthusiasm at the age of 10 and drops back in trip following fine efforts at Newmarket and, most recently, when sixth in the Victoria Cup at Ascot last week. Station X is back on turf now having returned to winning ways at Southwell, but the vote goes to LITTLE MI MI. Having enjoyed a fine campaign on the all-weather during the winter months, Iain Jardine's mare continued her progression at Ayr and the booking of Saffie Osborne further enhances her credentials.

This may be set up for REIGNING PROFIT, who's always done well in the spring and is on a winning mark. Woohoo is second choice.

Now that SIMBA'S PRIDE has got his head in front, he could kick on and progress through the handicap ranks. Michael Dods' charge appreciated the drop to this trip when scoring readily on his handicap debut at Hamilton and, unexposed as a sprinter, there is likely plenty more improvement in him. Gunalt Wavelength and Ellie's De Vega are the ones expected to put up the most resistance.

Simba's Pride isn't opposed lightly but HARES BREDTH can have his latest third upgraded and he is hardly exposed himself.

MISSION CENTRAL is taken to add to his recent C&D success. He made a winning seasonal return in the Listed Woodlands Stakes three weeks ago, getting the better of Likedbymike by three-quarters of a length, and should confirm that form on 2lb worse terms. Keke has developed into a more than decent handicapper and he brought his career tally to seven with a clear-cut victory over 6f here. He drops back in trip but certainly arrives with every chance, as do dual Group 3 winner Lady Iman and fellow three-year-old filly Ipanema Queen, a three-time scorer last season.

A ready winner when beating many of these in a C&D Listed contest last time, MISSION CENTRAL could still have improvement to come

MAC'S MAX didn't quite build on his runner-up effort on debut at Newcastle in November when struggling to make an impact at Wetherby the following month. That may have been a quick enough turnaround and it would be no surprise to see Ben Haslam's gelding bounce back after being given time to recover. Lightsoutandaway is likely to build on his fourth at Fontwell and commands respect along with Bound For Glory.

It might pay to give another chance to MAC'S MAX, who struggled on soft ground last time but made a promising debut on good to soft.

SEREN STAR progressed nicely in 2025 with the daughter of Profitable winning on three occasions, including over C&D in August, and she is well worth forgiving her final start in a Listed contest at Saint-Cloud. Heavy ground and a long season may have been contributing factors to that effort and it would be no surprise to see her bounce back. Plaid remains open to improvement following a second on her handicap bow at Kempton. Others to note include Cancelled and Epidavros.

The upwardly mobile PLAID (nap) looks the way to go here, raised just 1lb for her handicap debut second at Kempton.

Modest maiden; little evidence to suggest she is the answer today.

I'M DAN DARE makes a good bit of appeal in the finale. He wasn't fancied at Redcar, but clearly improved for going back up to this trip as he was denied by the narrowest of margins under this rider. Now that the penny has dropped, Adrian Nicholls' inmate is well worth another chance. Maynora appreciated the switch to turf when scoring at Pontefract and heads the list of dangers from Carnation Queen.

I'm Dan Dare is a solid option but CALL ME BY MY NAME drops in class and could prove a different proposition with a run behind him.

Resumes from five months off 2lb above her last winning mark; bit to overcome.

A good test over this trip is fine; at his best last year around this time; player.

Had a rare off-day at Thirsk a fortnight ago but is quite capable of bouncing back.

No worries about the return to 6f in another big field and may yet be capable of better.

Juan Les Pins has been in fine fettle in recent months with a couple of victories backed up by a number of placed efforts, including at Ascot last weekend. Another bold bid is expected, but the improving MONTEZUMA appeals most. Already a winner in this series at Musselburgh two starts ago, he backed that performance up when runner-up at the same venue a fortnight later off a 7lb higher mark and the four-year-old appears likely to have more to offer. The Good Biscuit and Stirrup Cup head the remainder.

Jonny Concrete is second choice behind MONTEZUMA, who may well have more to offer back up from 5f.

Letsbefrank got up in the final strides to collar FAST FRED at Musselburgh towards the end of last month. However, a 2lb swing in the weights could see the latter reverse the placings on this occasion, especially as the top-weight has been in fine form since returning to action. Krissy won on the same Musselburgh card and she is expected to be competitive after a 4lb rise, while a return to the level may see Secret Force in a better light.

The top options may be provided by the 1m4f handicap at Musselburgh three weeks ago in which LETSBEFRANK cut down Fast Fred.

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.
