The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
Class & Speed Card

All eyes will be on MOUNTAIN BREEZE off the back of her stylish debut win here. Flaming Stone is an interesting newcomer.
Class & Speed Card

SHAVING ran well in a what looked a decent course bumper last time and could be able to win on hurdling debut.
Class & Speed Card

It's hard to see past DESERT HERO who ran a cracker over 1m2f on his reappearance and should be tough to beat back at 1m4f.
Class & Speed Card

Mademoiselle is the form pick. There are interesting types among the newcomers, most notably LADY LUZON and Sands Of Dubai.
Class & Speed Card

So Logical and Miss Information have claims but DASHING DARCEY didn't get the breaks round Chester last week and is preferred.
Class & Speed Card

Having looked so good on her final run at 2m4f and with stamina seemingly stretched at 3m last time, LOVELY REACTION (nap) appeals most
Class & Speed Card

Greenham Stakes sixth and seventh MISTER SKETCH and Room Service emerged with plenty of credit and the former gets the nod.
Class & Speed Card

George Boughey's BOUNTIFUL sets a reasonable standard, and with improvement expected she's taken to make the most of her experience.
Class & Speed Card

The well-handicapped DARKNESS (nap) is an attractive option after shaping well here two weeks ago. Divine Libra is second choice.
Class & Speed Card

Today might be the day when CHOSEN SHANT gets off the mark, a repeat of her Naas run last time in a stronger race should be enough.
Class & Speed Card

This has presumably been the target for KING'S GAMBIT (nap), who is first choice ahead of Ballydoyle colt Chantilly.
Class & Speed Card

Risks aplenty but Spirit Of Applause and TATTERSTALL offered hope here two weeks ago and today's ground will suit both much better.
Class & Speed Card

He has an alternative engagement at Newbury but AALTO gets the nod to build on this month's promising reappearance effort over C&D.
Class & Speed Card

DEPECHE MO has twice been placed over C&D and didn't run badly over fences at Tramore last time, so can take this.
Class & Speed Card

High-class French colt BIG ROCK should prove difficult to peg back provided his QEII form is repeated. Inspiral is feared most.
Class & Speed Card

This doesn't look particularly strong and the penalised LOS TOLDOS may be able to give his rivals weight and a beating.
Class & Speed Card

Time is likely to show that PRECIOUS JEWEL bumped into a good one on her recent 1m2f course debut and she can go one better now.
Class & Speed Card

The vote goes to THE FLYING POET, who cost 90,000euros as a 3yo and has three useful jumps winners on the dam's side of the pedigree.
Class & Speed Card

Cases can be made for plenty but TRANQUIL SEA saw out the 3m fine here three weeks ago and this 4yo is compiling a solid profile.
Class & Speed Card

The strong suspicion is that WILTSHIRE is some way ahead of his mark and he's selected to follow up last month's C&D success.
Class & Speed Card

Twelfth Knight should go well but LUCKY MAN, gelded since last seen, could well exploit his big drop in the weights.
Class & Speed Card

Alhattan is feared with improvement on the cards at 1m2f but PROMETEO's Yarmouth win looks all the better now.
Class & Speed Card

Several have possibilities but GETAWAY GLORY produced a strong finish when scoring on his chase debut and should have more to offer.
Class & Speed Card

Given the horses he beat, MAGIC TRICKS should have won easier at Down Royal but there's good reason to believe he can progress.
Class & Speed Card

With further improvement on the cards, GODWINSON is taken to reverse Spring Cup placings with Metal Merchant.
Class & Speed Card

Yorkshire is interesting but preference is for well-connected NEW IMAGE (nap) who impressed on his first 7f start last time out.
Class & Speed Card

Recent AW winner Damascus Steel makes some appeal but BALTIC (nap) can make a winning return and make it 2-2 in handicaps.
Class & Speed Card

Several are hard to fancy and the vote goes to TREMBLANT, who's on a fair mark now and showed more back from wind surgery latest.
Class & Speed Card

Mel Rowley's COMMANDING VIEW (nap) was one of two to dart clear of the others when second at Market Rasen last month and gets the nod.

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.
