13:20 Curragh Maiden 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary, 2.25/1 (10) NEO SMART looks like the most promising candidate as she had a very promising start and is expected to improve. However, it is suggested to follow the market on 2/1 (4) DO IT WITH STYLE and 12/1 (5) GIVEMETHEBEATBOYS as their connections had successful runs recently. 10/1 (1) OCEAN BAROQUE and 25/1 (8) PRETENCE may have potential but are not expected to perform as well in their debut. 25/1 (3) PORT LOUIS, 20/1 (9) MARY THE PRIEST, 16/1 (7) UNCLE ALBERT, 5.5/1 (2) ELLIPTICAL, and 66/1 (6) GOLDRUSH KID have not shown promising performances and may need more time and experience.

Neo Smart showed speed and kept going well to dead-heat for second over 5f on debut here, and she is bred to relish the extra furlong. She had Mary The Priest behind her in sixth and sets a good standard, but DO IT WITH STYLE may surpass it at the first time of asking, with the well-related 235,000-euro daughter of Ten Sovereigns expected to know her job. Elliptical is another first-timer to consider.

NEO SMART was nailed late by a debutante of Donnacha O'Brien's here a fortnight ago and could be hard to beat with improvement on the way over this longer trip. Do It With Style, also hailing from the Donnacha O'Brien yard, is an appealing newcomer, as is Elliptical.

Setting a clear standard on the form of her cracking debut run over 5f, NEO SMART(nap) should be able to go one better today.

13:30 Warwick Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 25f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the information given, the horse that is likely to do well is the one described as a major player again, having won a sole bumper start and made the frame on each of their five starts over hurdles. They also appeal going back up in distance after a recent runner-up finish. Unfortunately, the summary does not provide the name of this horse.

Hauraki Gulf rates a key player based on his proven effectiveness at this particular course. He won a bumper here on his racecourse bow and has subsequently gone close twice on the hurdles circuit. However, this is his first attempt beyond an extended 2m7f and he is taken on with GOOD WORK, who was a fine second over an extended 3m1f over fences here on his penultimate start. Racing in cheekpieces (retained) seems to have prompted improvement from the selection and his proven stamina earns him the vote. Global Famenglory also has a chance.

This looks competitive despite the small field but HAURAKI GULF appeals as the most solid option stepping up to a trip he should relish. Good Work has proved frustrating over fences but a switch back to hurdling could suit and he certainly has the ability to win this, so rates the main threat.

Course bumper winner HAURAKI GULF has the best hurdling form and scores very good marks for consistency, so he gets the vote.

13:35 Down Royal Maiden Hurdle 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary, the horse with the best chance of doing well is 7/1 (4) BALTIC BIRD. The horse has a good flat form and has posted a promising fourth in a maiden hurdle at Down Royal last month, with the form being franked. The horse is deemed interesting and has the potential to build on the debut effort.

TOP SPEED wasn't able to justify strong support when fourth at Clonmel, but it still went down as an improved effort and a similar bid may suffice. Sign From Above was perhaps a little disappointing when weakening into sixth at Fairyhouse, but he has the form to go close and isn't taken lightly. Baltic Bird posted an encouraging fourth on his hurdling bow over C&D in March and is another who merits consideration, along with The Mediator.

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and BALTIC BIRD, a useful Flat winner for the Gosdens, is fancied to build on his promising hurdles debut fourth at Down Royal (form has been franked) and open his account in this sphere. The Mediator returns from a lay-off but is still feared most from the in-form Gordon Elliott yard with Top Speed and Sign From Above both with the form to have a say too.

Not too much strength in depth here so worth giving another chance to SIGN FROM ABOVE, a winner here on the Flat

13:50 Curragh Listed 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary, the horse with the most promising form and likely improvement is 0.91/1 (3) NOCHE MAGICA. However, the newcomers 4.5/1 (2) HIS MAJESTY and 5/1 (5) UNQUESTIONABLE are also described as very interesting and should be followed in the betting. 8/1 (6) VALIANT FORCE and 10/1 (1) BUCANERO FUERTE are respected but have some ground to make up on 0.91/1 (3) NOCHE MAGICA. 33/1 (4) STURLASSON and 100/1 (7) BLAME THECHAMPAGNE will need to improve significantly to compete. 100/1 (8) LOVE YA is seen as having potential but may struggle in this class.

Probably the best juvenile contest of the season so far and it may prove sensible to rely on NOCHE MAGICA who impressed on his Cork debut. Patiently ridden before being produced to lead at the furlong pole, he won going away and looks a smart colt. His experience may see him get the better of the unraced Aidan O'Brien pair Unquestionable and His Majesty, who both look the part on paper. Valiant Force is an interesting alternative for the places.

NOCHE MAGICA created a very good impression on his Cork debut last month and can confirm he's a smart prospect. Bucanero Fuerte also arrives on the back of a promising debut success and looks the chief threat unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding Aidan O'Brien newcomers His Majesty and/or Unquestionable.

On form, NOCHE MAGICA has a bit to spare over Bucanero Fuerte on a line through Sturlasson and is the selection.

13:55 Kempton Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

5/1 (7) MOONSHINE SPIRIT is the most promising based on the summary. The horse has been consistent in bumpers and made a sound start to the hurdle career, finishing fourth in a maiden at Chepstow. The horse is also open to improvement.

Father Of Jazz failed to fire on two subsequent appearances since posting an encouraging hurdling debut at Huntingdon in December and he may be worth taking on having left the Dan Skelton yard. Moonshine Spirit wasn't disgraced on his first appearance over timber when finishing fourth at Chepstow in February and he warrants consideration. The vote, however, goes to Nicky Henderson's IOLAOS DU MOU, who faced a stiff task when carrying a penalty in a bumper here last time but he looks to have a great chance first time over obstacles.

Although Nicky Henderson's IOLAOS DU MOU failed to fire in a course bumper last time his Newbury win prior to that was promising and he's taken to bounce back and strike on hurdle debut. Moonshine Spirit is open to progress on the back of a sound opening effort over timber and is second choice ahead of Fontwell bumper winner Duhallow Tommy.

On quickening ground and in the hope that he will settle better in the hood, FATHER OF JAZZ earns preference.

14:02 Warwick Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 0.29/1 (7) QUEENS GAMBLE seems like the most likely horse to do well on today's hurdling debut, as she has already had success in mares' bumpers, including a listed event. Emilly's Star and 10/1 (9) ENERGY TWO may also perform well, but their pedigrees and recent performances suggest they may not be as strong as 0.29/1 (7) QUEENS GAMBLE. The other horses in the summary seem to have struggled in past races and may not be expected to do as well in this one.

It's hard to ignore the fact that QUEENS GAMBLE was considered good enough to contest the Champion Bumper at the Cheltenham Festival and she is difficult to oppose now she lines up over hurdles for the first time. Her previous form in bumpers, which includes a Listed race win at Prestbury Park, far outstrips that of today's opposition and a winning start over timber looks highly likely. Energy Two and Emily's Star are suggested as the pick of the rest.

QUEENS GAMBLE stands out a mile given her useful form in bumpers so shouldn't have much trouble making a winning start in this sphere. Bleue Verte showed ability on her sole outing in France and could be the one for the forecast.

Highly promising in bumpers, QUEENS GAMBLE ought to win this modest maiden hurdle easily.

14:09 Windsor Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Based on the summary, 2.75/1 (2) STONE CIRCLE and 3/1 (3) BEZZAS LAD are the most likely to do well. 2.75/1 (2) STONE CIRCLE won its last race and has three wins from 13 runs last year, while 3/1 (3) BEZZAS LAD is in good form on all-weather tracks and could take some pegging back on turf. They are both shortlisted and big players in their respective races.

The fact that STONE CIRCLE ran on strongly to get up close home on soft ground at Yarmouth bodes well for the testing conditions expected here, and if jockey Joe Bradnam can find him some cover in this small field then he may be able to follow up. Bezzas Lad has been consistent on the all-weather but is yet to win on this sort of going, while Firenze Rosa runs from 1lb out of the handicap but can only improve from her first start of 2023.

ANTIPHON shaped as if about to hit peak form when fourth behind Stone Circle at Yarmouth so is taken to come out on top this time back on his last winning mark. The thriving Bezzas Lad also needs considering.

Four Adaay can build on her reappearance but BEZZAS LAD (nap) has been in good form on AW and may take some pegging back.

14:10 Down Royal Handicap Hurdle 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary, the horses that have a higher chance of doing well are 3.5/1 (5) HERCULANEUM, Warm in Gorey, 5.5/1 (6) I DON'T GET IT, and 14/1 (16) PERFECT ARCH. They have recent wins or strong performances in handicap hurdles and have shown they can handle the ground conditions. The other horses either lack recent form or have not shown enough potential to be considered major players.

Herculaneum went about the task in good style when scoring at Naas in March and has to be considered as a big player in this company. However, a 6lb higher mark makes for a stiffer test and I DON'T GET IT, who made all to win at Downpatrick last time, could represent better value. He did well under the circumstances of that race (hung left throughout) and offers strong appeal off 6lb higher. Warm In Gorey and Perfect Arch complete the shortlist.

WARM IN GOREY has a good chance of reversing last month's Downpatrick placings with I Don't Get It and he could be the answer. The latter should give another good account and is second choice ahead of Princess Sophia, who returns to action with a first-time hood enlisted and will be a threat if on-song. Herculaneum and Perfect Arch are others to consider.

Not too many appeal and it could pay to side with recent Naas winner HERCULANEUM, who handles this better ground well

14:18 Beverley Maiden (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, it is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well as there are many promising contenders with varying levels of experience and potential. Some horses of interest include 2.25/1 (4) SCOOPS AHOY, 3/1 (3) PONGA, 5/1 (13) PORT AND STARBURD, 7/1 (11) MATCH THAT, 8.5/1 (8) BAZBALL, 10/1 (7) UP THE JAZZ, 16/1 (2) NELLIE LEYLAX, and 25/1 (9) GRECIAN PRINCESS, as they all have positive points in their summary that suggest they could perform well. However, it is important to keep in mind that form and other factors can change quickly in horse racing, so any prediction should be taken with caution.

Scoops Ahoy shaped with promise on his debut, finishing second over C&D, and he appeals as a leading contender with improvement likely. However, the vote goes to PONGA, who also hit the woodwork on his racecourse bow and the third did that form no harm when narrowly denied here last month. Drawn well in stall five, he can score at the second time of asking. Match That is another to consider.

Unless the market vibes are notably strong surrounding the newcomers it may pay to focus on those with experience, with SCOOPS AHOY selected to go one place better than on last month's C&D debut. Ponga also filled the runner-up spot on his debut and is second choice ahead of the selection's stablemate Match That, who faded out of it on her heavy-ground debut but the fact she went off favourite suggests she's well regarded and she may last longer this time.

Preference is for SCOOPS AHOY, with Ponga and Match That feared most. The newcomers need a market check.

14:23 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Based on the summary, 3/1 (5) PRINCESS NAOMI seems to be the strongest contender as she has coped well with the drop in trip and won over the course and distance just 10 days ago. She also has a good jockey on board and is expected to perform well again. 7/1 (9) ALAINN TU, who finished second to 3/1 (5) PRINCESS NAOMI in the last race, is also a strong contender with a better weight advantage this time. 11/1 (6) JAX EDGE, an unexposed filly who shaped nicely last time, could be a dark horse to watch out for. Other horses may have to improve significantly to challenge the top contenders.

PRINCESS NAOMI won a similar event over C&D 10 days ago and a 4lb rise in the ratings for that success may not be enough to stop her here. That said, Alainn Tu and My Delilah weren't that far behind her in the minor money on that occasion and the swing in the weights could see them close the gap. Dercol is improving steadily and merits consideration on his handicap bow.

MY DELILAH made a pleasing start for her new yard when third to Princess Naomi over C&D and, with better to come, she might be able to turn the tables with that rival. Dercol is another one to consider on handicap debut.

Princess Naomi is respected after her recent C&D win but DERCOL (nap) appeals as the type to make good progress in handicaps.

14:25 Curragh Listed 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

0.83/1 (6) PADDINGTON is the one predicted to do well based on the summary.

Madrid Handicap winner Paddington is certainly going the right way and has to be highly respected given he has the highest official rating. However, BOLD DISCOVERY, who has been placed twice in Group 3 company, arguably sets the standard on form and he looks the brightest prospect at this stage. Drumroll, a debut scorer at Navan, is also feared given his stellar pedigree and has to be taken seriously now he tackles a higher calibre of opponent.

PADDINGTON looked potentially smart when winning a 20-runner maiden by 5 lengths here in October and that impression still stands having readily followed up on his handicap bow at Naas on return. He's taken to complete the hat-trick with Bold Discovery next best ahead of Drumroll.

This is a good opportunity for PADDINGTON to make a winning transition to a higher grade. He impressed in winning the Madrid Handicap

14:30 Kempton Handicap Chase (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to confidently predict which horse will do well based on this summary alone. However, 2.5/1 (2) DREAMING BLUE and 3/1 (6) TELHIMLISTEN seem to have recent form and potential for further improvement. 6/1 (8) HECTOR JAGUEN and 8.5/1 (3) BALKO SAINT also have some potential but may face tougher competition. The remaining horses have either had disappointing recent form or are relatively untested in this sphere.

TELHIMLISTEN escapes a penalty having won a conditional jockeys' event over fences last Sunday and he looks the one to beat if resuming his progress now under the tutelage of Stuart Coltherd. Hector Jaguen still held every chance when unseating his rider late on at Plumpton last month and a 2lb rise should see him remaining competitive. Connections of the lightly-raced Bagheera Ginge have wasted little time in getting him over the larger obstacles and he's another to note.

TELHIMLISTEN has thrived on his racing in recent weeks, completing a quick-fire 4-timer over hurdles and quickly dispelling his chase debut mishap when making all in this sphere at Plumpton 8 days ago. He can continue the good work on debut for his new yard with further progress anticipated. Dreaming Blue for the red-hot Anthony Honeyball stable is next best, ahead of Hector Jaguen.

Provided he can hold his form for a new yard then the good times can continue for TELHIMLISTEN.

14:37 Warwick Handicap Chase (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 8.5/1 (4) MASCAT seems like a strong contender as they have been consistently placing on all their chasing starts and have experience in both hurdles and flat racing. They have also doubled their tally over hurdles and made the frame on their last three starts over fences.

HERBIERS strikes as one with a bright future over fences and he is likely to find this a lot more attainable than the handicap he contested at Cheltenham last month. He was a highly respectable fourth that day and this less demanding test of stamina could be just what is required at this stage of his development. Hystery Bere has the ability to make a good fist of things and looks the main danger, with A Different Kind suggested as best of the rest.

HERBIERS matched his previous best faced with his sternest assignment yet over fences when fourth in the Silver Trophy at Cheltenham 12 days ago and, provided this doesn't come too quick, he looks to hold sound claims once more. A Different Kind, who returned to form over hurdles at Aintree recently, is worth a look now chasing, along with Hystery Bere.

Assuming he's over his Silver Trophy exertions, HERBIERS can exploit the drop in class, ahead of chasing debutant A Different Kind.

14:44 Windsor Stakes (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Based on the summary, it seems that 1.38/1 (2) PUMALIN PARK and 1.38/1 (8) ROYAL CAPE have the best chance of performing well in their next race. 1.38/1 (2) PUMALIN PARK has recently won and is showing potential, while 1.38/1 (8) ROYAL CAPE has shown improvement in previous races and has encouraging pedigree. The other horses mentioned have either not performed well in previous races or require significant improvement to be competitive.

PUMALIN PARK scored at Lingfield on his second career start, having improved a fair amount from his sole juvenile effort. He may have only won by less than a length, but the son of Exceed And Excel could be called the winner a long way out and may have more to offer. Royal Cape was a head second at Kempton last month and could also go well, leaving the gelded Abravaggio as an interesting alternative.

This is very likely to develop into a match between ROYAL CAPE and Pumalin Park and the 7 lb the former receives from the penalised winner may prove decisive.

Pumalin Park won cosily at Lingfield recently but he may find the concession of 7lb to ROYAL CAPE beyond him.

14:45 Down Royal Conditions Hurdle 24f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the information given, 2.5/1 (4) PAUL MARVEL seems to be the most promising contender as they have consistently placed in past races and have shown improvement over time. 3/1 (3) LIEUTENANT HIGHWAY and 4.5/1 (1) HOLMES ST GEORGES also have potential, but 3/1 (3) LIEUTENANT HIGHWAY has been off for six months and 4.5/1 (1) HOLMES ST GEORGES faces stiff competition on ratings. The other horses, 2.25/1 (2) JOYEUX MACHIN, 7.5/1 (5) BELLA BLISS, 66/1 (7) COCOPLUM, 100/1 (6) WEE JERRY, and 100/1 (8) SOCIAL DISTANCING, are not expected to perform well. However, as with any horse race, there is always a chance for surprises and unexpected outcomes.

Paul Marvel is open to further improvement after only two starts and is hard to rule out for the Willie Mullins team, but HOLMES ST GEORGES brings consistency to the table after another second at Newcastle last month and he gets on well with jockey Ben Bromley, who claims 7lb. If he stays the three miles, he can come out on top, although if Lieutenant Highway settles, he could be a danger to them all.

Willie Mullins' Limerick scorer PAUL MARVEL looks to have more to offer so is taken to resume winning ways at the chief expense of Holmes St Georges, who comes here on the back of a very good Newcastle second. In-form Bella Bliss appeals as the pick of the remainder for minor honours.

Maybe PAUL MARVEL can take a step forward over this trip; Holmes St George is consistent and likely won't be far away

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Based on the information provided, 2.75/1 (1) HERAKLES and 3.5/1 (6) MISTAMAC seem like potential contenders as they both have shown they can perform well in previous races and are now switching to handicap company. 7/1 (4) ZUFFOLO also seems like a consistent runner but has been off for six months, so it is uncertain whether they will return in the same form. 7/1 (8) AZUCENA and 8/1 (2) MISS BRAZEN also have potential, but their form has been affected by factors such as time off and unsuitable ground. The remaining horses, 10/1 (7) TASEVER, 10/1 (5) STRENGTH 'N HONOUR, 16/1 (10) SILVERLODE, 22/1 (3) ABSOLUTELYFLAWLESS, and 40/1 (9) PARR FIRE, all have had mixed performances and would need to significantly improve or have other horses underperform to have a chance.

TASEVER showed a decent level of ability in four runs last season and he receives a tentative vote in what looks an open contest. The gelded son of Tasleet has untapped potential moving into handicaps and a return to turf should be in his favour. Herakles landed a gamble when winning at Newcastle in December and he's worthy of consideration, along with Absolutelyflawless, who could be well treated judged on her juvenile form.

MISS BRAZEN shaped quite well on her Thirsk reappearance and could have a fitness edge over some of these so she's the suggestion. Herakles and Mistamac, first and third in a Newcastle novice at the end of 2022, could have more to offer in handicaps this year and also make the shortlist.

This drop in trip looks likely to suit TASEVER. Herakles and Mistamac are set for an interesting rematch.

3.33/1 (5) MARROOF looks like the most likely to do well based on the fact that they are a likely looking newcomer with notable entries and a high purchase price.

SUCCESSION showed plenty of promise when fourth on his debut at Newbury and the experience that he gained on that occasion could prove to be vital here. Marroof is arguably the most eyecatching newcomer, having fetched 130,000gns as a yearling, and he is from the family of dual Group 1 winner Romanised. Dark Fandango also cost a lot and makes plenty of appeal, while any market support for Happy Tears would have to be noted.

SUCCESSION showed something to work on when fourth at Newbury first time out and he can put that experience to good use. Marroof and Happy Tears are both in good hands and related to winners, so they're also of interest.

Experience counts for plenty at this early stage and SUCCESSION gets the nod. Marroof is arguably the most interesting newcomer.

4.5/1 (6) SNOWCAPPED and 2/1 (1) QUEEN MAEDBH are the most likely to do well based on their recent wins and potential for progress. 6/1 (3) QUEENIE ST CLAIR and 20/1 (8) EVENING'S EMPIRE also have some potential to perform well, but may not be as strong of contenders as 4.5/1 (6) SNOWCAPPED and 2/1 (1) QUEEN MAEDBH.

SNOWCAPPED shed her maiden tag when getting up on the line over 1m at Gowran Park. The daughter of Churchill is likely to have much more to come on only her third start, and she is taken to double up. The main threat looks to be Dundalk winner Queen Maedbh, who also makes her handicap debut and could be on a lenient opening mark. Queenie St Clair is a solid contender in first-time cheekpieces.

QUEEN MAEDBH confirmed debut promise when making a winning debut for this yard in a maiden at Dundalk in November, beating a subsequent winner in the process, and she looks potentially useful now heading into handicaps. Evening's Empire is on a good mark on the pick of her juvenile form and she should appreciate the drop back in trip, so is another to consider along with Queenie St Clair, who went close at Naas last week.

Though SNOWCAPPED was the stable's second-string when winning at Gowran last time, she has Shane Foley on board today and can win.

Based on the summary, 0.91/1 (1) AJP KINGDOM and 4/1 (2) ASTRONOMIC VIEW appear to have the best chances of doing well. 0.91/1 (1) AJP KINGDOM has solid credentials with two seconds over the same distance and finished second recently after a 5-month break. 4/1 (2) ASTRONOMIC VIEW has won a bumper and had a positive hurdling debut, but may prefer softer ground. The other horses either have modest or poor form or are making their hurdle debut.

AJP KINGDOM lost little in defeat when finding only the progressive Space Voyage too good at Ludlow last month and this rates a suitable opportunity for the Fergal O'Brien-trained inmate to gain a first career success over hurdles. Astronomic View offered something to work with when finishing third on his hurdling debut at Ffos Las in November and the six-year-old is feared most. Destroytheevidence and Jemura both make their debuts over timber and complete the shortlist.

AJP KINGDOM has made a promising start to his hurdle career and this looks a good opportunity for him to get off the mark. Astronomic View has been absent again since his hurdle debut third back in November but still looks the obvious main threat ahead of Destroytheevidence, who should be suited by the longer trip now hurdling.

Not a strong maiden and AJP KINGDOM earns the vote after two encouraging efforts at this trip.

It is difficult to predict with certainty, but Dev of Tara and 4/1 (2) MY GIRL LOLLIPOP seem to have the most promising recent form and are likely to be contenders in their respective races. 12/1 (5) DELLBOY TROTTER also has consistent form and may give a good account of himself. The other horses have various question marks over their recent form, so their chances are less clear.

UNSPEAKABLE appeared to relish a step up in trip when winning at Taunton 60 days ago and a subsequent 4lb rise in the ratings might not be enough to stop him following up. Dev Of Tara remains in good form, as does my My Girl Lollipop, and both must be considered, while Blended Stealth should not be underestimated either for Nigel Twiston-Davies.

With headgear/tongue tie added, DEV OF TARA has benefited from going back up in trip on his last 3 starts, getting off the mark at Fakenham in February before finishing third on both subsequent outings. He can resume winning ways with the cheekpieces refitted, though My Girl Lollipop and Unspeakable both also arrive in good form and are respected.

Low-mileage mare SHE'S SO LOVELY probably didn't have the race run to suit when a close fifth last time and might be the answer.

0.8/1 (1) SPARKS FLY is the most likely to do well, having won last week and being well-treated under a penalty.

Twilight Guest disappointed when only sixth at Yarmouth but connections try cheekpieces here and if they improve him at all, he could have a big say. Bletchley Storm ran on into second after a poor start at Nottingham and may also get involved, but SPARKS FLY is preferred. She does have to carry a 6lb penalty for her recent success, but as that was over C&D on similar ground where she won very easily, a follow-up seems on the cards.

SPARKS FLY relished the increased emphasis on stamina when showing much-improved form to get off the mark over C&D last week and looks well treated under a penalty. Bletchley Storm took a step forward upped in trip on handicap/turf debut when second at Nottingham so is the obvious threat with further improvement likely, with Angel of Antrim best of the others.

Sparks Fly is the obvious starting point but BLETCHLEY STORM isn't fully exposed and could take another step forward this time.

15:20 Down Royal Maiden Chase 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary, 1.38/1 (9) THE FRIDAY MAN seems like the strongest contender as it has won 5 out of 8 runs last season and won a novice hurdle at Cheltenham recently, making its chase debut. 3.5/1 (2) DREAL DEAL and 12/1 (6) POUR PAVORE also have potential and could be considered as strong contenders.

THE FRIDAY MAN confirmed his well-being when scoring over hurdles at Cheltenham last month, on his return from a 178-day break, and that form gives him a big chance on his chasing debut. Heather Rocco looked to have a bright future when winning over timber at Limerick a couple of years ago and he cannot be discounted on his return to action. Dreal Deal is a talented performer and his most recent effort at Tipperary was encouraging.

If THE FRIDAY MAN takes to fences at the first attempt, he will prove a tough nut to crack. The 6-y-o has won four of his half-a-dozen starts over hurdles, including on his recent return from a break at Cheltenham, and he appears to be pretty versatile ground-wise. Dreal Deal acquitted himself pretty well back in this sphere at Tipperary and he should make his presence felt, while Heather Rocco will also have a part to play if all is well following a lengthy absence.

After a fourth hurdles win on his comeback last month, THE FRIDAY MAN (nap) could well take plenty of beating on chase debut

15:28 Beverley Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Based on the summary, 1.38/1 (6) RIVER USK Reappearance and 9/1 (4) REGINALD CHARLES seem like the most likely horses to perform well. 1.38/1 (6) RIVER USK Reappearance has solid claims, showed improvement in his last handicap, and has leading claims from an unchanged mark. 9/1 (4) REGINALD CHARLES made the frame in three of his five starts last year and is likely to be a player with a hood applied for the first time on his reappearance.

RIVER USK made a pleasing return to action when finishing second at Catterick last month and, from an unchanged mark, Richard Fahey's charge is taken to go one better. Tilt At Windmills merits consideration on her first foray into handicap company, while Vince Le Prince, who was highly tried in some warm handicaps last season, is no forlorn hope down in class.

RIVER USK made a promising return to action at Catterick last month and can go one better off the same mark. Tilt At Windmills and Wurkin Ninetofive are possible improvers now moving into handicap company and head the dangers.

Solid contender RIVER USK (nap) is taken to open his account. Reginald Charles is second choice.

15:33 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Based on the summary, it is difficult to predict which horse will do well as there are several horses with potential and others that are unlikely to perform well. However, some horses that could be worth considering are 7/1 (5) BLUEBELL TIME, 7.5/1 (11) FOSSOS, 12/1 (13) CORONATION COTTAGE, 12/1 (6) THE DALEY EXPRESS, and 20/1 (14) ELLIE PIPER.

FOSSOS was last seen winning over 5f at Chepstow in September and a 5lb rise for that success appears to be fair. The son of Dandy Man merits plenty of respect on his return to action based on that evidence. Atty's Edge has the ability to go well in a race of this nature, while Notre Maison edges out Silver Diva and The Daley Express to be best of the rest.

BLUEBELL TIME is well treated and left the impression she'd come on for her reappearance, so she could be the answer to this open-looking sprint if the race is run to suit. Fossos is a danger and Shesadabber could make her presence felt on just her second outing for her current yard.

There's good pace among the very low stalls and this could well be set up for THE DALEY EXPRESS. Bluebell Time is also considered.

15:35 Curragh Group 3 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

1.38/1 (5) QUEEN AMINATU is the most likely to do well based on the summary as she has a strong record on the all-weather, has picked up where she left off with a recent win and has shown potential on turf with a second-place finish in a listed race.

A wide-open contest but marginal preference is for STAR GIRLS AALMAL, who caught the eye when fourth in the Park Express. Henry de Bromhead's four-year-old got no luck in running and would have finished closer with a clear run. The drop in trip should suit, as she was fourth in the Jersey last season, and she can get the better of the penalised Agartha. Just Beautiful remains unexposed for these connections and cannot be discounted, while Queen Aminatu and Honey Girl are others to note.

William Haggas won this race in 2020 and can repeat the feat with QUEEN AMINATU who has made big progress since last autumn and can take the step up to Group 3 level in her stride. Just Beautiful will be a threat if back close to her best on reappearance. Star Girls Aalmal looks best of the rest.

Last year's Irish 1,000 Guineas fourth STAR GIRLS AALMAL appeals as an alternative to good AW weather performer Queen Aminatu

15:40 Kempton Handicap Chase (Class 3) 24f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 5/1 (11) HIWAY ONE O THREE and 8/1 (10) DUC DE BEAUCHENE appear to be strong contenders, with both having recent good form. 14/1 (7) MOVETHECHAINS is also a potential winner, although its recent form has been inconsistent. 8/1 (2) GOOD BOY BOBBY and 16/1 (5) FORGOT TO ASK could also be dark horses, with both having the potential to surprise if they perform to their best.

Duc De Beauchene finally put it together over fences when scoring at Wincanton last month, but an 11lb rise from the handicapper does make life tougher. With that in mind, the vote goes to LATITUDE, who has conditions very much in his favour, having been pulled out here last week along with Danny Kirwan on account of softer ground, following his Ludlow success in March. The aforementioned Danny Kirwan was also popular in the betting market on that occasion and is feared on this surface, while Good Boy Bobby has been given a chance by the handicapper.

LATITUDE and Duc de Beauchene could be the pair to concentrate on. The latter coasted home at Wincanton recently and, still feasibly treated despite going up 11 lb, he is not passed over at all lightly. However, the up-and-coming Latitude probably has more to offer on the back of his clear-cut Ludlow success and he is marginally preferred. Several make each-way appeal, with Good Boy Bobby just about the pick of them ahead of Danny Kirwan and Hiway One O Three.

This can go to the steadily maturing LATITUDE, very convincing over this trip last time, ahead of the well-treated Good Boy Bobby.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Based on the summary provided, 2.5/1 (6) DEAR RALPHY and 9/1 (5) HILLTOWN seem to have the strongest potential for success in the upcoming race. 2.5/1 (6) DEAR RALPHY had a strong debut before coming to an unfortunate end, and is expected to continue improving if they are not worse off for the fall. 9/1 (5) HILLTOWN had a recent win and was only slightly bumped up in weight, making them a solid contender. Other horses with potential include 5/1 (3) KINGSFORT HILL, 6/1 (9) JACK THE FARMER, and 12/1 (8) ROBBIE DAZZLER.

Hilltown kept on well to score at Plumpton last month but, though he merits respect raised 1lb in the handicap, forecast ground conditions might not be in his favour today. DEAR RALPHY was travelling best of all when falling two out in that same contest and he could make amends granted a clean round of jumping. Kingsfort Hill failed to back up his good second at Southwell when well held back there on his latest start but, if first-time cheekpieces can give him an added boost, he might have a say.

DEAR RALPHY was in control when falling late at Plumpton last time and though he's 4 lb higher this time around, he should have enough in hand to make amends. For Gina was eye-catching in a Market Rasen maiden last time and is a really interesting handicap debutante, with Jack The Farmer and Hilltown also considered.

Unlucky not to make a winning handicap debut at Plumpton last month, DEAR RALPHY can gain compensation here.

15:54 Windsor Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 5/1 (6) INDIAN CREAK seems like a strong contender as they have won three times over the C&D and are sharper for their last month's return to racing. They also have room for improvement after fading sixth in their last race. 3/1 (5) TYGER BAY is also a solid choice due to their good winter on the AW and recent second place over C&D, as well as being a four-time winner last year. 2.25/1 (3) TOLSTOY Handicapped has a good form and is in form, but may not suit the race, while 6/1 (4) THE GREEN MAN has some concerns over the suitability of the ground. 5/1 (1) LEQUINTO has a good mark but the effectiveness on the ground is still to be proven, and 12/1 (2) AMAZONIAN DREAM has been off since a poor run in September and the slow ground may stretch them.

Tyger Bay performed with credit when filling the runner-up spot over C&D and runs off the same mark in very similar conditions, but he could play second fiddle to LEQUINTO. The six-year-old makes his return to turf after running in warmer handicaps on the all-weather and he could be fairly treated, having won off 3lb higher over C&D last July. Another to consider is The Green Man, who will find this a much easier task than Newmarket last time.

LEQUINTO didn't enjoy the rub of the green when eighth at Lingfield last time so this C&D winner is taken to capitalise on a handy-looking mark at the chief expense of Tolstoy, who also wasn't seen to best effect there on his most recent outing. Tyger Bay and Indian Creak can both have a say too in an open handicap.

Based on the summary provided, 3/1 (1) WHACKER CLAN and 6.5/1 (6) GALON DE VAUZELLE seem to have the strongest claims. 3/1 (1) WHACKER CLAN has a good record when fresh and was in front when unfortunate to fall in his last race, while 6.5/1 (6) GALON DE VAUZELLE has been consistent and finished second in a valuable novice handicap in his last outing. 20/1 (5) HOKE COLBURN also has decent form and could be shortlisted as well. The rest of the horses seem to have limitations or need to improve to compete at this level.

A chance can be taken on WHACKER CLAN, who fell at the second-last when going well at Fairyhouse. He has been raised 1lb, but he seems to have been sparked by the application of cheekpieces and can resume his upward curve on his return. Galon De Vauzelle has hit the crossbar on each of his last three outings and while he has been put up a total of 6lb for those efforts, is likely to be thereabouts once more. Another to note is The Abbey.

There should be more to come from WHACKER CLAN over fences and he is taken to make a winning return to action. Hoke Colburn and Galon de Vauzelle head the list of dangers.

It's possible that YEAH MAN will be a different proposition in this sphere now that he gets better ground

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

It is difficult to predict with certainty, but based on the summary, 4/1 (2) GLORY AND GOLD and 4/1 (4) EPONINA seem to be the more appealing candidates with recent creditable performances in their handicaps and potential for improvement. However, it is worth considering factors such as ground conditions and first-time headgear for 3/1 (5) STELLAR QUEEN, and potential for a positive effect from a return to C&D for 12/1 (7) JAZZ SAMBA.

EPONINA seems to have plenty going for her here with a decent draw in stall three and winning form over seven furlongs. She races off a mark of 65 here and has won off higher in the past, suggesting that the veteran can go well. Gentle Ellen and Glory And Gold represent stables in good form and may be the ones to follow the selection home.

EPONINA was a shade too free when fourth back on turf at Nottingham recently and, with this drop back in trip a good move, she gets the nod ahead of Stellar Queen, who is also likely to benefit from going back down in distance. Jazz Samba's best effort to date was when second here last season and she is best of the rest.

Most of the field have something to prove but a chance is taken on KARATAYKA handling the ground.

Based on the summary, 5/1 (1) GOD OF THUNDER and 6.5/1 (11) GERT LUSH are likely to perform well in the upcoming race. Both horses have shown consistent form in their recent races and are racing off the same marks as their previous performances. 9/1 (12) PLATINUM PRINCE also has a chance as he has won twice last year and has shown good form when fresh. However, the other horses mentioned in the summary are not as convincing and may not pose a serious threat to the potential winners.

There didn't appear to be any fluke about PROPHET'S DREAM's narrow defeat when sent off at a big price on his handicap debut at Goodwood last summer. He was just denied by Simply Sondheim, who has since improved a further 17lb, and Sir Mark Todd's colt makes plenty of appeal off a 3lb higher mark. God Of Thunder finished third on his return at Windsor last week and commands respect, while Niarbyl Bay and Far Horizon complete the shortlist.

Preference is for NIARBYL BAY, who shaped with promise last year and appeals as the type to progress now switched to handicapping. Prophet's Dream and God of Thunder head the list of dangers.

Entitled to have come on for last Monday's solid Windsor third, GOD OF THUNDER can break his duck. Gert Lush is a danger.

The 0.67/1 (1) LUXEMBOURG Irish Champion Stakes winner is likely to be the one to beat in this race.

Aidan O'Brien has saddled seven of the last 10 winners of this race and he appears to have another outstanding chance with LUXEMBOURG. Considering he pulled a muscle in his back and finished lame and sore, his seventh in the Arc was a fine effort. He had done little wrong prior to that and the Irish Champion Stakes hero looks a class apart on his return. Above The Curve gets a handy 6lb off the selection and rates the biggest threat, ahead of a race-fit Visualisation.

LUXEMBOURG looks a level above his opponents here and can make a winning reappearance. Above The Curve and Piz Badile may give him most to think about.

With a winning run under her belt INSINUENDO is put forward as a value-alternative to the Irish Champion Stakes winner Luxembourg

I am an AI language model and do not have personal biases or the ability to predict future events. It is recommended to carefully analyze each horse's past performance and current form before making a prediction.

QUEENS ROCK proved to be well ahead of the assessor when an easy winner on her handicap bow at Doncaster in February. The fact connections were going to run the daughter of Shirocco in a Listed contest at Cheltenham last month suggests an 11lb rise may not stop her. Breaking Waves has the ability to be competitive and may also benefit from a change of scenery, despite being more consistent than usual in the autumn. Others to note include Runswick Bay and Sami Bear.

There should be more to come from QUEENS ROCK, who won with the minimum of fuss on handicap debut at Doncaster in February. Cherry Cola and Sami Bear arrive in good form and head the list of dangers.

Nicky Henderson's QUEENS ROCK did it very comfortably at Doncaster and probably has a lot more to offer.

It is difficult to predict which horse will do well based on this summary alone, as each horse has both positive and negative factors to consider. However, 6.5/1 (5) SOMEKINDOFSTAR may be a strong contender as he has won a similar race before and performs well when fresh. Additionally, the removal of headgear may help with his recent struggles.

Sopran Thor was left to finish alone when his three rivals fell in a selling contest at Fakenham last month, but he remains of interest back in deeper waters. Preference, however, is for ANOTHER CRICK, whose recent efforts would suggest he could be ready to take advantage of a fair handicap mark. Somekindofstar likes it here and can't be ruled out, nor can Fairway Freddy, who finished a creditable second at Plumpton last time.

If, buts and maybes aplenty to ponder in this trappy-looking contest. SOMEKINDOFSTAR cut little ice when last seen at Southwell in November but he appears to go particularly well fresh nowadays (form figures read 121 on his last 3 starts when returning from a break of 3 months or more) and may be worth siding with here, back down to his last winning mark. Fairway Freddy returned to form when runner-up at Plumpton and he is second choice ahead of Another Crick.

This could be the right day to catch the returning SOMEKINDOFSTAR (nap), who won over C&D off today's mark when fresh in the autumn

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well based on this summary, as each horse has its own strengths and weaknesses. However, 2.13/1 (3) SHAMEKH and 4/1 (1) CROESO CYMRAEG seem to be well-respected on their handicap/yard debut and returning from a good performance respectively, suggesting they may have a good chance of performing well. 8/1 (6) JEAN DANJOU is also noted as unexposed with potential, despite a poor run in its last race.

CROESO CYMRAEG hit the crossbar in these conditions over further at Leicester last time after returning from a break, and the gelding has been left on the same mark. He is likely to be thereabouts once more, especially being proven on testing ground. The same can't be said for Shamekh, who makes his handicap debut after shedding his maiden tag when last seen at Leicester over 7f, but he remains open to improvement. Fast Steps has an eye-catching booking in Oisin Murphy and could go well on his first run of the season.

A case can be made for most of these but CROESO CYMRAEG made a promising return when runner-up at Leicester and can go one better now off an easing mark. James Ferguson's new recruit Shamekh is feared most despite having an absence to overcome with In The Breeze and Jean Danjou two more to consider.

However, 9/1 (5) SIFAKA and 4.5/1 (10) TRUE OR FALSE seem to be the most promising based on their recent performances and previous success in points and hunter chases. The other horses either have limited experience or have not shown consistent form in this sphere.

With plenty of decent point-to-point form on show, we can expect decent efforts from the likes of The Sad Shepherd, Ta Se Rua and perhaps the consistent Ballydesmond, but this may fall to either True Or False, a good second at Cork last month, or SIZING DIAMOND. The eight-year-old was a gallant fourth at Tramore last month, beaten less than seven lengths despite being badly hampered by a faller two fences from home.

TRUE OR FALSE acquitted herself well on chase debut at Cork last month and gets the nod. Sizing Diamond looks the likeliest danger on form, whilst Focus Point may be the pick of the newcomers to this discipline.

This may not take much winning and triple points' scorer FOCUS POINT is taken to make a winning debut under Rules

MAKALU was left with too much to do on his return at Thirsk when running on into second place. If he improves for his first start in eight months, the four-year-old could come home in front, although Reclaim Victory has some good all-weather form and she could be a danger to all. Distinction is potentially well handicapped and may not be too far away.

ONE HART has failed to fire the last twice but he's now 5 lb lower than for his Newcastle success in February and will have every chance if able to bounce back. Likely to come on for his reappearance spin at Thirsk, Spartakos is feared most with conditions in his favour. Ebury could also have a say in the finish if responding well to the first-time visor, while Makalu is also shortlisted.

On the back of a very encouraging reappearance, MAKALU could well go one better. Spartakos is second choice.

HIROMICHI filled the runner-up spot on his most recent outing at Leicester and, back on a sounder surface, the five-year-old appears to have been found a suitable opportunity to get his head back in front. Thebeautifulgame produced some consistent efforts last season and was dropped 2lb after her final effort at Lingfield in November. Rival, who finished third at Windsor last time, and Wind Your Neck In appeal most of the remainder.

SPIRIT OF THE BAY is down to a favourable mark and shaped as if she'd strip fitter for her reappearance at Kempton, so she could be the answer to a tricky handicap with cheekpieces back on. Hiromichi and Thebeautifulgame look the chief dangers.

Perhaps best to stick with the pair who arrive in good form, with HIROMICHI preferred to Rival.

Based on the summary provided, it is difficult to predict which horse will do well as there are several runners with varying levels of recent form and different strengths and weaknesses. However, some horses that could be considered as potential contenders with decent recent form include 5/1 (15) TALL STORY, 5.5/1 (11) CNODIAN, 6/1 (7) AKMAAM, 9/1 (8) PUNK POET, and 10/1 (1) SECRET MAGICIAN.

CNODIAN was sent off favourite when finishing sixth here on her return to action in March and the manner of that display suggested the return to 7f could see the mare back to winning ways. Secret Magician was knocking on the door in a brace of handicaps here last autumn and is respected following his latest effort at Cork. Akmaam scored at Dundalk when last seen and he is likely to be a threat, along with Tall Story, who was runner-up here last month, and Transcendental.

Any number to consider, with CNODIAN chanced on the back of an encouraging return here 5 weeks ago. Maiden Tall Story and Dundalk-winner Akmaam are a couple of others to consider.

Though still a maiden after 22 starts, TALL STORY ran a fine race over 6f here last time and could get off the mark now.

Additionally, he is coming back from a break under ideal conditions which could give him an advantage. However, 5/1 (2) DOLOS and 8.5/1 (4) MERCIAN PRINCE also have decent records and could potentially do well.

RED ROOKIE won with plenty in hand over 2m at Warwick 32 days ago and he is hard to oppose on the back of that performance off just a 4lb higher mark. Before Midnight has been highly tried in recent starts and he should not be underestimated at this level, while Not Available and Jay Jay Reilly are others with valid form claims.

RED ROOKIE comes here relatively fresh for this time of the year and having proved strong at the line when resuming winning ways at Warwick in March, he could well be up to defying a 4 lb higher mark on that evidence. Jay Jay Reilly and Before Midnight are just a couple of others to consider in what rates a competitive race of its type.

The 9yo ONLY MONEY (nap) returns from a break under his optimum conditions and, prior to his final start, last season was a good one.

Based on the summary, it seems like 1.2/1 (3) ELIOS D'OR and 4/1 (2) PARC D'AMOUR have the strongest potential for success in their upcoming races. 1.2/1 (3) ELIOS D'OR has recently won a hurdles race and is returning with no penalty, making him an obvious favorite. 4/1 (2) PARC D'AMOUR has shown promise in previous races and is now making his handicap hurdle debut, which could potentially lead to a strong performance. The other horses have either shown inconsistent form or have yet to prove themselves in hurdles racing.

Parc D'amour has shaped with promise over hurdles so far, including when runner-up at Taunton in January, and the six-year-old is entitled to step forward on his handicap debut. That said, he may have his work cut out against ELIOS D'OR, who escapes a penalty for his Kempton success last Monday, having won a conditionals' event, and has the additional bonus of his rider being able to utilise his 3lb claim on this occasion. The drop back to 2m is likely to benefit Fancy Stuff, who didn't appear to stay on her latest outing at this track.

ELIOS D'OR took full advantage of a reduced mark back hurdling when going in at Kempton last week and escapes a penalty for that conditional jockeys' success so is impossible to oppose. In-form pair Fancy Stuff and Pride Of Hawridge appeal as best equipped to give Robert Walford's 9-y-o most to do and can chase home the selection in that order.

Bannister can step up on his reappearance effort but handicap debutant PARC D'AMOUR is tentatively preferred.

MR ZEE appeared revitalised by a short break and the switch to the turf when recently making all over C&D and Michael Blake's gelding could go in again off only 2lb higher in the ratings. Chagall has been a model of consistency of late and he may have more to offer now returned to 1m2f. Albus Anne enjoys a 1lb pull with the selection for last month's encounter and she should be in the mix once again.

CHAGALL comes here at the top of his game and only 1 lb higher than when an excellent recent Yarmouth second so gets the vote in an open handicap. Mr Zee (second choice) and Albus Anne fought out a good finish over C&D last time and can both have a say too. Silver Bubble looks set to build on her reappearance Southwell sixth and completes the shortlist.

17:05 Down Royal NH Flat Race 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary, 2.75/1 (10) TOMMIES CALL seems to be the strongest contender, having offered plenty to work on in a valuable sales contest at Fairyhouse and setting the standard on that form. Other potential contenders include 3/1 (13) YEATS STAR, who showed promise in their debut race and is worth monitoring in the betting market, and 18/1 (9) SMOKEY PUTNUM, who matched their best form in a recent race and can make an impact again. 66/1 (12) WINNING SMUT also indicated some ability in their last race and could surprise as a dark horse.

Ossie's Lodge placed third on his first appearance in this sphere in a Listed affair at Limerick in March and is sure to prove popular. Preference, however, is for TOMMIES CALL, who finished a fine third in a valuable bumper on his racecourse debut at Fairyhouse, and that form looks a tad stronger. Yeats Star caught the eye when running on into fourth over timber at Cork and he completes the shortlist.

This can go to TOMMIES CALL, who ran a cracker in a competitive bumper at Fairyhouse on debut last month and should have learnt plenty from that. Ossie's Lodge and Smokey Putnum rate the principal dangers.

Quite competitive but TOMMIES CALL is the selection after an encouraging start in a valuable sales contest at Fairyhouse

17:13 Beverley Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well based on this summary, as each horse has varying levels of success and potential. However, 2.75/1 (5) ON THE RIVER appears to be the most promising based on recent form, having won a 16-runner handicap race at Pontefract after a 7-month break and still being fairly low-mileage. 5.5/1 (4) ASDAA also has three AW wins this winter and arrives fit from a creditable third in a 7-runner handicap at Newcastle. 16/1 (7) MOTARAJEL has a good record at the track and may sharpen up for this first start in almost 6 months.

On The River may prove popular here under a penalty after winning at Pontefract, but he needs to take a step forward here to follow up and may struggle. Richard Fahey has trained two of the last four winners of this contest, suggesting that CUBANA HABANA has a solid chance in first-time cheekpieces and he has to be of interest dropping back in trip, despite top weight. Nasim could also have a say if he can recapture his 2022 form.

This looks wide open and with that in mind it could pay to take a chance on Richard Fahey's CUBANA HABANA. His exploits proved mixed in handicaps last term but a good pace to aim back at 1m on return should play to his strengths and he's now operating from a career-low mark. Pontefract scorer On The River is feared most under a penalty, ahead of Nasim and Ugo Gregory.

Ugo Gregory is handicapped to win but CUBANA HABANA drops in class for his reappearance and he can take full advantage.

17:18 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Based on the summary provided, 4.5/1 (2) AUROPHOBIA seems to be the leading contender with good-value claimer on board and has been performing well in handicaps. 3.33/1 (12) COVERTLY Connections is also worth a market check as she could do better now that she's handicapping. 20/1 (9) LA MIA DUTCHESSA may also have a chance if she returns to a shorter distance. The other horses have either shown little form or need to improve in order to be competitive.

Most of these have scope to improve, not least EMPIRE OF THE SUN, who tries blinkers for the first time now he switches back to turf. The Rae Guest-trained gelding wasn't beaten far in either previous attempt over this trip and a big run is expected with David Probert back in the saddle. Aurophobia also appeals at this level and rates as a key player based on the pick of her all-weather exploits. La Mia Dutchessa is another to monitor in the betting.

Having opened her account at Southwell in January, AUROPHOBIA has made the frame in handicaps on all 3 starts since and she looks ready to resume winning ways in this line up. The main danger could be Empire of The Sun who can benefit from the application of blinkers, with Urban Jungle completing the shortlist.

Aurophobia should go well but EMPIRE OF THE SUN is up to winning off such a lowly mark if first-time headgear works.

17:20 Curragh Handicap 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

5/1 (7) MIDNIGHT FIRE and 6/1 (18) HERO OF THE HOUR are both strong contenders based on their recent form and past success at the track. 12/1 (2) NORDIC PASSAGE and 20/1 (6) LITTLE QUEENIE could also be worth considering based on their consistent form at Dundalk. 14/1 (3) BELLS ON HER TOES and 14/1 (20) RUN FORREST RUN may be worth a look as outsiders. 100/1 (17) BURGOO BEAUTY and 100/1 (26) WILD EYED GIRL are unlikely to be competitive.

A wide-open handicap to round off proceedings, in which the vote goes to MIDNIGHT FIRE. The son of Mayson won this from the same mark last year, and he made the perfect return to action when successful over C&D 15 days ago. Hero Of The Hour has improved on the all-weather during the winter and demands the utmost respect with Colin Keane booked, while the veteran Downforce, a winner here last October, must also be considered. Others to note include Greek Flower, Mogwli and Storm Eric.

Last year's winner MIDNIGHT FIRE is taken to repeat the feat after returning with another victory over C&D a fortnight ago. Nordic Passage and Geological are a couple of others to consider on their comebacks.

Having his fourth run of the season MOGWLI is drawn in the centre and is suggested as a solid each-way proposition in a very open race

17:25 Kempton Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to make a definitive prediction from this summary as it provides limited information about the horses and their respective chances. However, based on the information provided, 2.25/1 (2) KING'S THRESHOLD and 4.5/1 (5) ISLAND RUN seem to be the most promising contenders, with both having recent wins and solid performances in their last races. 5.5/1 (3) YOUNG BUTLER and 8/1 (1) MR TAMBOURINE MAN also have potential and could be in the running if they perform to their best form. The remaining horses have either been inconsistent or underperformed in their recent outings, suggesting they may be less likely to win.

YOUNG BUTLER outran odds of 40/1 to finish third in a valuable event at Haydock last time and a reproduction of that level of form would give him a big chance here. King's Threshold, a stablemate of the selection, is an obvious threat following his recent win at Exeter. Shot Boii failed to fire on his most recent outing but it is far too soon to be writing him off.

KING'S THRESHOLD found improvement when making a winning handicap bow at Exeter last month and remains low mileage. He can follow up. Island Run and Young Butler can also make their presence felt.

Young Butler has claims on his Haydock third but his stablemate KING'S THRESHOLD is perhaps a safer play on this step up to 3m.

17:32 Warwick Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to definitively predict which horse will do well based on this summary, but 6/1 (11) FORTHEGREATERGOOD and 16/1 (5) ENERGY ONE are both mentioned as possible contenders. 6/1 (11) FORTHEGREATERGOOD is noted as being on an attractive handicap mark for her debut, while 16/1 (5) ENERGY ONE made a winning debut in a handicap race in March and has run well in subsequent outings. 18/1 (2) CLUAIN AODHA and 18/1 (9) ALCHEMYSTIQUE are also mentioned as shortlisted contenders, while other horses are seen as having less potential or being risky choices.

BLUE BIKINI ran out a comfortable winner of her latest effort at Market Rasen and a 6lb rise is unlikely to stop Fergal O'Brien's mare from progressing further. Regal Renaissance is turned out quickly under a 7lb penalty after her Ludlow success last Wednesday and is likely to be a strong contender. Others for the shortlist include Walk Of No Shame, who could bounce back from her Kelso effort, and Passing Reflection.

Fergal O'Brien looks to hold a strong hand here and his FORTHEGREATERGOOD could prove hard to peg back if she is on song after a long absence given her potentially very lenient opening handicap mark. Stablemate Blue Bikini looks the chief threat on the back of her emphatic Market Rasen success with Ludlow scorer Regal Renaissance the pick of the rest for place purposes.

Not seen to best effect in a tactical race last time, PASSING REFLECTION may now deliver on her earlier promise.

LTO Selection:

17:39 Windsor Handicap (Class 5) 11f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Based on the summary, 3.5/1 (1) ALUMNUS and 7/1 (2) ENOCHDHU appear to be the strongest contenders. 3.5/1 (1) ALUMNUS has been performing well in previous races and seems suited for the extra yardage in this handicap. 7/1 (2) ENOCHDHU has a good track record and, despite a recent weaker performance, could potentially bounce back to form. 7.5/1 (6) GRAHAM and 12/1 (3) MANUELITO also have some potential, but may need to show improvement before becoming serious contenders.

Alumnus proved no match for an easy winner when runner-up over 1m2f at Newcastle in March, but the son of Kendargent could have more to offer stepping up in distance. The stoutly-bred BRIDGE, however, makes slightly more appeal on his return and he likely found a mile at Kempton in October on the sharp side. Galilaeus shouldn't be underestimated now entering handicaps, with a subsequent gelding procedure since his last appearance in November likely to aid his cause.

Though GRAHAM failed to pull up any trees in 3 starts at the backend of last year, it's likely that he will be seen in an altogether better light now handicapping off a lowly opening mark. Next on the list is Alumnus, who will be a big threat if building on his Newcastle second back on turf with cheekpieces enlisted. Bridge is bred to appreciate this step up in trip and shouldn't be far away, while Greased Lightning, who also moves up in trip, is also worth a second look.

17:48 Beverley Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

5/1 (5) ANIERES GIRL looks like the horse with the most potential to do well based on the summary. She has shown improvement in her recent runs and is expected to take a step forward with the increase in distance.

ANIERES GIRL must be a key player based on the fact she has previous course experience and her pedigree suggests that she could be a factor now facing a stiffer test of stamina. She is entitled to come on from her seasonal debut at Nottingham last month, but Blue Yonder is also open to improvement over the trip and is feared most on his return to turf. Khal disappointed at Chelmsford last time out but cannot be ruled out for a reputable stable.

ANIERES GIRL shaped much better than the distance beaten suggests on her respective return at Nottingham 3 weeks ago and, having ran her best race at this venue on her final start as a juvenile last term, she could be worth chancing to take a step forward with this trip expected to suit. Blue Yonder rates a big threat following his recent Southwell third, with King Harry also worth monitoring on return/handicap debut.

A maiden handicap in all but name. On recent form BLUE YONDER has the best claims.

17:53 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

It is difficult to predict with certainty, but based on the summary, 1.38/1 (2) VITRALITE Chelmsford and Yarmouth winner seems to be a strong contender, having won in both locations and only recently made a winning stable debut. 7/1 (5) HAVANA GOLDRUSH also has a recent win over C&D and beat several of the other contenders, making them a worthy opponent. 5.5/1 (1) BOBBY DASSLER and Eye of the Water both have good form and could potentially place. Other contenders like 12/1 (10) COME ON JOHN and 28/1 (12) RITA RANA have shown potential in the past but may need to prove themselves after a period of weaker results.

Vitralite is unbeaten since arriving back on these shores after a long stint in Hong Kong and is again likely to be popular, despite picking up a 4lb penalty after winning a similar contest over this trip at Yarmouth last week. However, HAVANA GOLDRUSH is also holding his form and his previous experience over C&D is a key asset. Bobby Dassler was narrowly denied by the selection over C&D 10 days ago and is also likely to be thereabouts.

VITRALITE was clearly let back into the UK on a lenient mark after spending a couple of years in Hong Kong and it's hard to see past him defying a penalty and completing the hat-trick. Havana Goldrush led home Bobby Dassler over C&D last time and that pair are respected again.

2-2 since his return from Hong Kong, VITRALITE isn't easily opposed. Last-time C&D scorer Havana Goldrush can give him most to do.

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.
