13:30 Ascot Handicap (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow

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

1st: 2.12/1 (4) YAANAAS 2nd: 11/1 (11) REPERTOIRE 3rd: 11/1 (1) BEAR FORCE ONE

A winner on both of his starts to date, it would be no surprise if the Roger Varian-trained YAANAAS to ended up being pattern class come the end of the season, meaning an opening handicap mark of 92 should be well within range. Recent Kempton scorer Bear Force One merits respect under top-weight, while last year's winner Repertoire is another who enters calculations. Al Marmar could improve for the addition of first-time blinkers, while admirable veteran Raising Sand likes it around here and also arrives with live claims.

Having made an impressive winning debut at Newcastle, YAANAAS improved a chunk to remain unbeaten at Kempton 3 weeks ago, and with further progress on the cards, Roger Varian's charge gets the nod to make a winning turf/handicap debut. Baltimore Boy didn't get the chance to show what he could do on return at Doncaster last month so he may emerge as the main threat, with Diffident Spirit and last year's winner Repertoire another couple worth considering.

Several with claims but the one with the potential to go on to better things is YAANAAS who has won both AW starts in taking fashion.

13:40 Pontefract Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, the horses that have the best chance of finishing in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd are: 1. 1.75/1 (4) REIGNING PROFIT 2. 3.5/1 (2) HUDDLE UP 3. 7/1 (3) MOTAWAAZY

REIGNING PROFIT proved a different proposition when making all over C&D last week and Ruth Carr's sprinter should take all the beating again, despite being saddled with a 5lb penalty. Huddle Up returned to action with a runner-up effort at Thirsk and is feared most off the same mark. Motawaazy also enters calculations having placed second at Catterick a week ago, with Mews House third at Lingfield on the same day and also considered.

REIGNING PROFIT was comfortably on top over C&D last week so a 5 lb penalty may not prevent him following up. Huddle Up got his career back on track with a promising reappearance second at Thirsk and is feared most ahead of Mews House, who arrives in form from AW.

After his good run at Thirsk on his seasonal debut HUDDLE UP is taken to win his first race for the Barron team.

13:50 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 16f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well based solely on this summary, but 4/1 (6) GHOSTLY seems to be a strong contender. Another horse that could potentially place is 7.5/1 (4) BALGOWAN, who has shown improvement in recent races and has the assistance of a top amateur jockey. For third place, it could be a toss-up between 10/1 (1) KITTEN'S DREAM, who has a course win under their belt, and 12/1 (12) QUIET THUNDER, who has the potential to surprise if she is having a good day.

Forgetmenotblue has slipped back to a fair mark and she can go well for the in-form Karl Burke yard, while Fen Tiger should strip fitter for his return at Thirsk last month and has claims on the pick of his form. However, preference is for TRIBAL COMMANDER, a C&D winner who ran well for second over 1m6f here off this mark on his reappearance and should appreciate the drop back in trip.

GHOSTLY encountered traffic problems at a crucial stage when finishing a place adrift of Tribal Commander over 1¾m here last month and, granted better luck this time, the 5-y-o may well emerge on top. The selection shaped that day as though he would be suited by stepping back up to this trip. With Simon Walker in the hot-seat, Balgowan is third choice and King Charles also merits consideration.

Unsuited by the way the race panned out here last time, GHOSTLY can turn things round with Tribal Commander.

14:05 Ascot Stakes (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, it seems like 1/1 (2) MAXIMUM IMPACT and 1.88/1 (1) ACTION POINT are the top contenders for first and second place. The third place is harder to predict, but 8.5/1 (5) THE LINE could potentially be a strong contender as well since it comes from a powerful stable. Therefore, the predicted order for the horses would be: 1. 1/1 (2) MAXIMUM IMPACT 2. 1.88/1 (1) ACTION POINT 3. 8.5/1 (5) THE LINE

The classy Blue Point has made an excellent start to life at stud, and his son ACTION POINT is fancied to continue that trend. Having won in taken fashion at Kempton on his racecourse debut, Archie Watson's colt can make a seamless transition to the turf and double his tally, possibly at the main expense of Maximum Impact, who bolted up at Leicester 19 days ago. Balagh makes plenty of appeal on paper and is worth a market check ahead of his debut, while The Line should not be underestimated either.

This may be fought out by the two previous winners, with MAXIMUM IMPACT preferred to Action Point and taken to follow up his Leicester romp. Newcomers have won 4 of the last 7 renewals of this contest and The Line could be the pick of the three.

Amo Racing's MAXIMUM IMPACT is taken to follow up his Leicester win. Action Point and Balagh look the main threats.

14:15 Pontefract Stakes (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 0.8/1 (1) TAYGAR is the most likely to do well as it had a successful debut and is expected to improve. The horses that are predicted to finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd are 0.8/1 (1) TAYGAR, 10/1 (5) FARAH M, and 33/1 (3) CLASSY CLARETS. However, it is important to note that the betting and market moves can also impact the performance of the horses.

There was a lot to like about TAYGAR's debut triumph and she looks to have been found a good opportunity to keep her unbeaten record intact. World Of Darcy is the most intriguing of the newcomers and is a potential fly in the ointment, with any market support worth noting. Chumbaa was just under five lengths behind the selection at Beverley and she could finish closer now 7lb better off.

TAYGAR won nicely on her Beverley debut and could be up to defying a penalty unless the betting vibes are notably strong surrounding newcomers such as Dc Flyer or Karl Burke pair World of Darcy and Dawn Charger.

The newcomers need checking in the market but they may have their work cut out to deal with TAYGAR.

1st: 1.88/1 (8) CUE'S BEAU 2nd: 7/1 (2) BEAU VINTAGE 3rd: 2.5/1 (3) CHRISZOFF

CUE'S BEAU let her supporters down when beaten half a length at Chelmsford last month, but she kept on well that day to suggest the added furlong now may see her get off the mark at the third attempt. Third Batch was also a beaten favourite when only fourth at Lingfield last time but that was over further and he can get involved now dropped back in trip, while Chriszoff and Brigitte are potential improvers who might get into the mix where it matters.

Ready preference is for CUE'S BEAU, who again found just one too good in a Chelmsford maiden last time. She wasn't seen to best effect on that occasion and promises to be suited by this stiffer test. Chriszoff shaped with promise on his introduction at Kempton and is next on the list ahead of another likely improver in Beau Vintage. Melwood Boy and Third Batch both have claims on form but they seemingly lack the scope of the aforementioned trio.

Beau Vintage is interesting, but preference is for CHRISZOFF, who shaped nicely at Kempton in a race that didn't pan out ideally.

14:40 Ascot Stakes (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to predict with certainty based on this summary, but the horses with the most promising form and potential seem to be 14/1 (6) ELEGANCIA, 7.5/1 (3) VEIL OF SHADOWS, and 4/1 (7) QUEEN FOR YOU. It is possible that any of these three could finish in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place.

DANCING GODDESS might have bumped into one when finishing a good second in a conditions race at Kempton last month and Charlie Appleby's filly, who sets a lofty standard, could take all the beating back now in novice company. Stablemate Veil Of Shadows looks set to improve having made a successful debut 88 days ago, while the steadily progressive Copy Artist must be of interest now switched to turf. Orchid Bloom made a striking debut when winning at Newmarket in October and she also merits a place on the shortlist.

This looks a very deep novice but it's still hard to escape the claims of DANCING GODDESS, who sets the clear standard on her runner-up effort on the AW under a penalty 3 weeks ago. There should be plenty more to come from her, but that does also apply to Orchid Bloom and Elegancia, while Queen For You is a likely newcomer on paper.

A good race in which all seven have clear potential. DANCING GODDESS sets the standard courtesy of her Kempton second.

1st - 4.5/1 (12) BERYL BURTON 2nd - 10/1 (10) ISLE OF WOLVES 3rd - 3.5/1 (9) SNOOZE LANE

ARDBRACCAN offered something to work with when not beaten far into fourth at Brighton on her debut for Mick Appleby, and she could take advantage of the inside draw if David Egan chooses to press on. Tahasun shouldn't be underestimated now returned to this level as she found a class 2 event beyond her at Lingfield in December. Benadalid has some solid form to his name of late and is another to consider in an open contest.

SNOOZE LANE arrives at the top of his game and wasn't seen to best effect when a good third at Wolverhampton last time so edges the vote in a very open-looking handicap. In-form pair Isle of Wolves and Masque of Anarchy appeal as the pick of the rest and can chase home Sarah Hollinshead's 4-y-o in that order.

In a tricky event the selection is MASQUE OF ANARCHY who is back on a good mark and whose stable is going well.

15:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary provided, it is difficult to confidently predict which horse will do well. However, 3.5/1 (4) MAN MADE OF SMOKE and 7.5/1 (8) BAILAR CONTIGO seem to have the strongest claims. Therefore, the predicted order of finish for the top three horses would be: 1) 3.5/1 (4) MAN MADE OF SMOKE 2) 7.5/1 (8) BAILAR CONTIGO 3) 3/1 (2) LILLISTAR (as the summary suggests improvement is expected now that the horse is upped in trip for its handicap debut)

Man Made Of Smoke could go well after his second over C&D in late March, but he is yet to win after 20 starts and has an added 2lb from the handicapper. ZAKRAM has looked all at sea on both starts this season but they were on soft ground and his best form has been on the all-weather, including a win at Lingfield last year. He could surprise if back to his best, with Stolen Encounter an interesting alternative if the cheekpieces bring about improvement.

This can go to MAN MADE OF SMOKE, who posted his best effort of the year when runner-up over C&D last time and remains fairly treated. Lillistar and Bailar Contigo can also make their presence felt.

Several dark ones in here from likely yards. The market will help sort things out, with BAILAR CONTIGO given the nod as things stand.

15:15 Ascot Group 3 (Class 1) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 1/1 (2) TRUESHAN has the best chance of winning with his recent second place finish and success in three C&D races. 2.75/1 (1) COLTRANE is also a strong contender, with three wins under his belt and a close second to 1/1 (2) TRUESHAN in his last race. 12/1 (4) RAJINSKY is another reliable stayer, having won a listed race recently and is well in the mix. Therefore, the predicted order of finish is 1/1 (2) TRUESHAN in first place, 2.75/1 (1) COLTRANE in second place, and 12/1 (4) RAJINSKY in third place.

TRUESHAN did let his supporters down when sent off odds-on at Nottingham on his return but with hindsight, 1m6f may be too short for him these days and this 2m trip could see him in a better light. He gets his favoured ground today and might prove too good for Rajinsky, who had his measure that day but is 2lb worse off with the selection than for that half-length victory. It could be pretty close between the two again, while El Habeeb was not disgraced when fifth in Dubai and may have more to offer.

TRUESHAN should be all the better for his Nottingham reappearance second to Rajinsky and with ground conditions to suit he can bag a fourth C&D victory before beginning his assault on the Cup races once more. Andrew Balding's Coltrane enjoyed an excellent 2022 but, not for the first time, is fancied to chase home Alan King's top-class stayer, with Rajinsky 3 lb worse off with the selection now and taken to claim minor honours.

This latest rematch between TRUESHAN and Coltrane could go either way but the percentage call goes to Trueshan, who is 3-3 here.

15:25 Pontefract Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, the horses that are most likely to finish in the top three are: 1) 3/1 (3) THE COOKSTOWN CAFU - With recent form figures of 121 and winning his last race all-the-way, this C&D winner is a big player in this race. 2) 2.5/1 (5) VACCINE - Found only one too good in a big field over C&D last week, and has a fair chance off the same mark. Looks competitive on form. 3) 10/1 (2) WESTERN STARS - A C&D winner who is shortlisted despite being off 6 months and needing to prove himself on softer than good ground.

Solar Joe won over C&D last summer and appeals now dropped back in trip after making little impression over 1m4f when last seen. However, he resumes from a stiff looking mark and needs a lot to go his way. Similar applies to Master Richard, who is respected down in class but another personal best is required under top weight. With those issues in mind, it can pay to side with recent Redcar scorer THE COOKSTOWN CAFU, who has more scope now up in distance.

THE COOKSTOWN CAFU's form is on an upward curve and a 2 lb rise for his reappearance success at Redcar doesn't look sufficient to prevent this C&D winner from following up. Vaccine is feared most on the back of his good recent C&D second, with C&D scorer Western Stars appealing as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.

Kevin Ryan's THE COOKSTOWN CAFU hasn't looked back since his wind operation and he's taken to make all.

Based on the summary, 3.5/1 (3) LAWMANS BLIS and 1.88/1 (1) GLORY AND HONOUR are likely contenders for 1st and 2nd place. For 3rd place, it could be either 3/1 (2) THIS ONES FOR FRED or 3.33/1 (5) EAGLE'S REALM depending on their performance and market support.

Glory And Honour was arguably an unfortunate loser having been denied a clear run over an extended 2m here eight days ago. He merits respect today, though the drop in trip isn't certain to be of benefit and, with that in mind, a chance can be taken on THIS ONES FOR FRED. Now back in the care of David Evans having left the Alan King team, he's on a competitive mark and is likely to appreciate this test of stamina. Lawmans Blis heads the remainder.

EAGLE'S REALM won a couple of races over timber last summer and remains capable of better on Flat. He gets the nod. Glory And Honour rates the chief threat.

This could become tactical and LAWMANS BLIS, who usually comes to hand early, is taken to build on his recent C&D third.

1st: 1.62/1 (3) BRADSELL 2nd: 5.5/1 (1) MISCHIEF MAGIC 3rd: 5/1 (4) COLD CASE

The expected cut in the ground could be an issue for some of these, though Cold Case won on a similar surface at Redcar on his last start and could go well on his return to action. However, BRADSELL took the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot before coming home fourth in the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh and he would be the one to beat if he is back to his best. Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint winner Mischief Magic looks a serious rival if he handles the softer surface.

A cracking race, featuring 4 who tasted success at Group 2 level or higher as 2-y-os. BRADSELL had his 2-y-o season ended prematurely by an injury sustained in the Phoenix Stakes but his Coventry-winning form is strong and he can make the most of the weight he receives from Breeders' Cup winner Mischief Magic. Desert Cop burst onto the 3-y-o sprinting scene with his success in a valuable conditions event at Newcastle on Good Friday and may prove best of the remainder.

Preference is for BRADSELL who holds very strong claims on his Coventry form. Mischief Magic is feared most.

Based on the summary provided, it is difficult to confidently predict which horse will finish in the top three. However, 2.75/1 (1) QUINTUS ARRIUS may be a strong contender as he has won a minor event and his form has been franked. 4/1 (5) ERTEBAT also has the potential to perform well on his handicap debut with blinkers and a tongue strap on, while 5/1 (7) HAVANA RUM may bounce back from a disappointing last race. Therefore, the horses that may finish in the top three are 2.75/1 (1) QUINTUS ARRIUS, 4/1 (5) ERTEBAT, and 5/1 (7) HAVANA RUM.

This is a deeper race than it looks at first glance, given that Puffable was pitched into a Listed affair when last seen and is respected back at this level, while Quintus Arrius is open to progression now he contest handicaps. However, JUST JANET is equally as notable running off just 3lb higher than her all-weather success from last September, and she could represent good value in what might turn out to be an informative contest.

Kevin Ryan's QUINTUS ARRIUS got off the mark in a Newcastle novice in February (form been franked) and looks to have got in lightly for his handicap debut so is fancied to follow up at the chief expense of fellow handicap debutant Ertebat. Southwell-third Lumacho is weighted to have a say too off an easing mark for the in-form George Boughey yard.

Kevin Ryan's QUINTUS ARRIUS has potential and is taken to make a successful handicap debut. Havana Rum had excuses on his return.

It is difficult to accurately predict which horse will do well based on this summary as each horse has both positive and negative attributes mentioned. However, 2.75/1 (1) FULL PRIME seems to have a good track record and has recently won a handicap race at Kempton. She also has experience on the track's Tapeta surface, which could give her an advantage over some of the other horses. 7.5/1 (2) LADY NAGIN has also won two of her last three starts over 6f at Southwell and could be a contender. 7.5/1 (6) ALL IN THE HIPS has won two races this year and had a career best performance in her last start. However, she is carrying a 2lb higher weight in this race, which could affect her performance.

FULL PRIME arrives having notched up a brace of successes at Kempton. The latest of those came in a warm class 4 event and the daughter of Mehmas would appear to hold leading claims again, though the switch to Tapeta would be a slight query. That shouldn't faze All In The Hips, who kept on determinedly to justify favouritism at Windsor, while others to note include Lady Nagin and First Of May.

The unexposed FIRST OF MAY showed plenty of promise in two starts at the backend of last year and, with the prospect of further progress now switched to handicap company off a potentially handy mark, she could be the answer. Full Prime has been nudged up just 2 lb for her narrow success at Kempton a fortnight ago and won't go down without a fight in her hat-trick bid, while All In The Hips added to her C&D success in March when scoring at Windsor recently and she is also accorded respect.

Although lacking a recent run FIRST OF MAY made a good impression on her final 2yo start and looks the type to do better this year.

It is difficult to determine which horse will perform the best as there is no clear standout from the given summary. However, 2.5/1 (2) CHINDIT may have solid claims on reappearance as a smart colt who has gone well fresh and has landed a Group 2 Summer Mile over C&D last year. 2.75/1 (3) LUSAIL also holds potential as a dual Group 2 winner with further improvement last season, while 5.5/1 (1) CASH has shown big promise in both turf runs and has potential despite a disappointing listed race at Kempton. 6/1 (5) RAADOBARG may also perform well based on his solid start for his current yard and previous form.

It looks like William Haggas has found a suitable opportunity for the return of MY PROSPERO, the winner of three of his five starts last season and only beaten half a length behind Bay Bridge and Adayar in the Champion Stakes here on his last start. This looks far easier pickings and he ought to get his season off to a winning start. Chindit is capable on his day and may be next best, while Cash is very lightly raced for a four-year-old and could have more to offer.

MY PROSPERO was highly progressive last season and was last seen finishing second at the top level, so he's an obvious choice to make a winning return down in grade. Lusail is probably the main danger, although his stablemate Chindit deserves plenty of respect.

My Prospero is top on ratings but CHINDIT (nap) looks an interesting alternative and his stablemate Lusail also has claims.

Based on the summary, 1.38/1 (8) REIDH seems to have the best form and experience, making it the top pick to finish first. 5.5/1 (4) FARHHFROMFORGOTTEN and 3/1 (5) LAOISMAN also show promise and have good breeding, making them likely to finish second and third respectively.

REIDH (fourth) and Farhhfromforgotten (fifth) encountered each other at Thirsk last August, where Richard Fahey's colt clearly emerged on top in that personal battle. He is taken to uphold the form, despite his rival being open to some improvement on his first start since being gelded, with both going on to claim third spot on their subsequent starts. Newcomer Songwriter, a 30,000gns half-brother to an all-weather winner, makes some appeal on breeding.

A case can be made for a few of these so at the likely odds it is worth siding with George Boughey's Mehmas gelding NINE SIX FIVE, who looked badly in need of the experience when a recent debut Catterick fourth and could take a big step forward here for a yard among the winners. Reidh rates the pick on his juvenile form and can have a big say if fully tuned up for his return, while Carlisle-third Farhhfromforgotten and newcomer Songwriter are two more who need considering.

This can go to REIDH who showed plenty of promise in two runs last season, notably when third at Ayr in September on his final start.

Based on the summary, 1.88/1 (5) MUCKY MULCONRY and 3.5/1 (2) TURBO TIGER seem to be the strongest contenders as they both have recent good performances in handicaps and favorable conditions. 4/1 (4) ALAINN TU and 4/1 (1) DEIRA STAR have also shown promise but may need to improve further to win. 12/1 (6) GINNY JO and 25/1 (3) BODEGA NIGHTS seem to have less favorable chances. However, as an AI language model, I cannot guarantee the accuracy of my predictions.

TURBO TIGER filled second place over 5f at this venue on Saturday and the step back up in trip could help him to go one better here. Mucky Mulconry made the frame in a similar event at Lingfield last time and is likely to be in the mix once again, while Deira Star edges out Ginny Jo to be the pick of the remainder.

A tardy start proved costly for MUCKY MULCONRY at Lingfield last month and, provided he's sharper off the blocks this time, he will have every chance off the same mark. Turbo Tiger responded well to the first-time visor when runner-up over 5f here recently and will be a threat if performing to a similar level back at this trip. He is second choice ahead of Deira Star.

Six maidens go to war and the vote goes to the ex-Irish MUCKY MULCONRY, who's shaped much better in two runs for his new yard.

4.5/1 (4) LIVIO MILO and 2.5/1 (2) DUTCH GOLD both have solid form claims and are likely to be in the mix. 3.5/1 (3) FORT VEGA and 10/1 (15) SATURN SEVEN are promising types and could also be contenders. 14/1 (9) RUNNING COOL and 33/1 (6) NO BIG DEAL are both lightly raced and have potential to improve. The other horses are less likely to do well based on their recent form.

DUTCH GOLD showed promise in three outings last year and appears to have progressed over the winter judged by his reappearance at Cork. The Noel Meade-trained colt didn't enjoy a clear run in the final quarter mile but was still only beaten about two lengths and hopefully can build on that effort. Livio Milo has a similar profile to the selection having also shaped well as a juvenile and kept on into fourth when reappearing in a maiden at the Curragh that has been working out well since. Fort Vega finished strongly when a close third at Limerick recently but Navalny hasn't progressed after a couple of decent runs over this trip last year.

Sheila Lavery's FORT VEGA resumed with a promising Limerick third and gets the vote in an open-looking maiden with the prospect of more to come from this Lope de Vega colt. Livio Milo also has the form to play a big part and is next on the list ahead of Cork-fifth Dutch Gold and Limerick-fourth Saturn Seven.

Noel Meade's runner DUTCH GOLD shaped well on his final start at two and did not get the run of the race on his reappearance.

17:00 Ascot Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

3.5/1 (2) SPOOF is predicted to do well based on the summary. The horse has recent C&D form, is well treated with a penalty for a recent win, and has strong follow-up claims.

Spoof returned to winning ways in good fashion at Windsor recently and he's sure to prove popular now turned out quickly under a 4lb penalty, but ZERO CARBON may offer more value. Richard Hughes' gelding finished down the field on his return to action at Newbury last month, but should come on for that pipe-opener and the four-year-old has often shaped as if a drop to this 5f trip could bring about enough improvement to see him triumph. The class-dropping Isle Of Lismore is also one to note.

SPOOF made amends for his unlucky Yarmouth defeat when scoring in convincing fashion at Windsor last week and a 4 lb penalty may not be enough to prevent further success here. Isle of Lismore and Fantasy Master head the list of dangers.

This is an uncertain time of the year on turf and SPOOF, who is going great guns for his new yard, looks the solid option.

17:05 Brighton Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary provided, 3.5/1 (8) PEARLY GAITS and 3.5/1 (2) CUBAN GREY are the most likely to do well in the race. 3.5/1 (8) PEARLY GAITS had a near miss on their last handicap debut and is nudged up 1 lb in the current race, while 3.5/1 (2) CUBAN GREY has a respectable handicap fourth and is positive about their third outing on turf. However, Colors of Freedom and 14/1 (6) MICK SAYS NO may also have potential for a good performance.

Bill Turner is traditionally a trainer to follow in the early part of the turf season and his Pearly Gaits is considered given she is open to progression in handicaps. By way of contrast, Colors Of Freedom is respected dropped in class after a respectable effort on the all-weather at Southwell. However, preference is for CUBAN GREY, who dug deep to land a novice event at Wolverhampton on his penultimate start and remains on a workable mark.

PEARLY GAITS left previous efforts behind switched to a handicap when runner-up at Windsor last month and it would be no surprise should she be able to go a place better on this occasion. Cuban Grey was unable to replicate the form of his novice win back in handicap company last time, but he should be in the mix, with Imperiousity another fancied to feature.

Bottomweight PEARLY GAITS still appeared to be learning on the job before running on well to go close on her recent handicap debut.

17:10 Pontefract Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary given, it is difficult to predict which horse will do well as none of them have standout achievements or form. However, some horses that could be considered are 5/1 (10) SHABS, who has plenty of placed form, and 5.5/1 (2) BACK FROM DUBAI, who has a recent good run at a scene he knows well. 14/1 (7) PRECEDENT, who has a new trainer and is wearing cheekpieces for the first time, could also be an interesting one to note in the betting.

INEXPLICABLE found himself back in the winner's enclosure at Wolverhampton last weekend, pulling clear of his next best rival in the closing stages. A reproduction of that effort could suffice and the six-year-old gets the nod to defy a penalty. Back From Dubai has been edging towards a seventh career victory and seems the most immediate danger after giving a good account when runner-up at Southwell. Mr Strutter produced a promising reappearance effort over C&D and merits consideration on his 92nd start.

A chance is taken on FRANKELIO who was bang there for a long way on his C&D reappearance 3 weeks ago and has dropped to a career-low mark. Shabs, Mr Strutter and Back From Dubai are others likely to be in the shake-up.

Tim Easterby's LITTLE TED (nap) ran surprisingly well on ground too soft for him at Thirsk and he appeals most.

17:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 3.33/1 (6) PLUMETTE is likely to do well as they have previously won five times on the course and have scored three times over the current distance. Although they have been below par in their last two outings, they are only slightly above their last winning mark and are considered a consistent performer. 2.5/1 (3) SHARVARA also has a good chance as they had a very good second place finish in a C&D handicap in March and, although not in the same form in their last outing, are still considered for the running. The other horses mentioned in the summary have less favorable characteristics or are not in their best form, but it ultimately depends on the specific race and competition.

SHARVARA's best recent effort came when runner-up over C&D on his penultimate start and the four-year-old, who didn't get the rub of the green throughout that contest, gets the vote to bounce back from a underwhelming display at Chelmsford. Asadjumeirah has been running consistently well of late and he is likely to enter calculations along with Plumette, who has won twice here this year.

Another chance is given to SHARVARA, who was disappointing last time but had posted a personal best here previously and remains on a fair mark. Plumette is feared most in a tricky-looking contest.

Following a disappointing 2022, BRASIL POWER (nap) is nicely handicapped back with his former yard. Sharvara is also well treated.

17:20 Gowran Park Maiden 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

2.25/1 (12) SAVE YOUR LOVE is the one to beat, having confirmed the promise of his only start at two with a third place finish at Navan. He was a promising type and likely has more to come. 2.5/1 (15) WALSINGHAM is also a leading chance, with useful form at 2 and an unlucky fourth place finish in a maiden at Cork 12 days ago. 3.33/1 (11) PLAY IT AGAIN ZAAM showed massive improvement on his fourth start and is a recruit to a top stable, making him a contender as well. 4.5/1 (8) HUTTON GLEN, an offspring of a useful hurdler, is a promising type and open to progress, while 40/1 (4) BAILE LOCHA RIACH has potential but needs to improve. The rest of the field are less likely to perform well based on the information provided.

Dermot Weld has made a slow start to the season but WALSINGHAM looks to have bright prospects here. The son of Lope De Vega ran a cracker when beaten less than a length in a Leopardstown maiden last backend and the brother of Duke De Sessa appeared to find ten furlongs too far when reappearing at the same venue. He didn't enjoy much luck in running before finishing strongly last time over a mile at Cork. Play It Again Zaam outran odds of 200/1 when putting in a much improved effort to take fourth behind the Joseph O'Brien-trained Shadowed at the Curragh and has since joined the Carriganog team. Save Your Love stepped forward nicely from his debut last autumn when going close in the Navan maiden won by Drumroll, while Pearl Of Australia and Hutton Glen are others to consider.

SAVE YOUR LOVE left his debut form well behind when third at Navan a month ago and with the promise of more to come, he looks the way to go. Walsingham and Hutton Glen are the obvious alternatives.

The 87-rated WALSINGHAM sets a reasonable standard of form and may be able to make amends after a rather luckless fourth at Cork.

17:35 Brighton Maiden (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the information provided, 1.88/1 (7) VIA ELECTRIANO is the most likely to do well as they showed promising form in their debut and the fourth horse they raced against has since won. Additionally, they are listed as a major player and have relatively good odds at 25/1. However, 6/1 (6) MARIAMNE also has potential due to their connection to a Group-placed 6f-7f winner and their yard's success in 2yo races. Ultimately, it is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will perform the best as there are many factors that can impact the outcome of a race.

The debut run from VIA ELECTRIANO sets the standard given she was a close second to a well-supported winner at Kempton. The daughter of Equiano showed determination in a sustained battle with the eventual victor in the closing stages and that experience gives her an edge. Mariamne is the most interesting of the newcomers and warrants a betting check, while Bath runner-up Grey Gray is suggested as the best of the rest with previous form.

Having been tough to get in the stalls, VIA ELECTRIANO showed plenty to work on when runner-up at Kempton 3 weeks ago so, with that initial experience under her belt, Amy Murphy's filly can go one better. Grey Gray filled the runner-up spot at Bath on debut 12 days ago and she may have to settle for silver again, with Mariamne the most appealing newcomer on paper.

Grey Gray ran well on debut but VIA ELECTRIANO probably achieved more when going very close at Kempton.

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

Based on the summary, the horse that has the best chance of doing well is 7/1 (7) URBAN ROAD. It won a handicap at Southwell 15 days ago and should be competitive up 3 lb if in similar form back on turf. The summary also mentions that the horse

In this competitive contest, it may pay dividends to side with AGONYCLITE, who almost backed up his breakthrough Newcastle triumph when runner-up over C&D. Ben Haslam's four-year-old remains relatively lightly raced and could take another step forward. Galton has placed on each of his last three assignments and could be on the scene yet again off an unchanged mark. Urban Road shed the maiden tag at Southwell and might get involved again off 3lb higher.

AGONYCLITE has shown improved form since stepped up to 1m and is taken to go one place better than over C&D last month. Hostelry doesn't have the easiest of draws but is still feared most on the back of a good reappearance run at Southwell. Urban Road and Galton complete the shortlist.

The suggestion is REVOQUABLE, who was runner-up on his penultimate start before getting too far behind at Redcar.

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

Based on the summary, 4.5/1 (5) IRISH LULLABY and 6/1 (8) MOON DAISY seem to be the strongest contenders for the race. 4.5/1 (5) IRISH LULLABY has consistently performed well and stepped up on last year's form in her reappearance at Cork, while 6/1 (8) MOON DAISY has shown promise in stakes races and ran well in a recent Irish St Leger Trial. However, other horses like 4.5/1 (2) FINAL GESTURE and 6.5/1 (3) GRECIAN SLIPPER also have potential to be contenders if they improve.

FINAL GESTURE was purchased by his current owner for E925,000 last December and is out of an Oaks runner-up-and-sister to Japan and Mogul. She won a Longchamp handicap last September, has already been Listed-placed and while she has her first run since November and has yet to race beyond 1m4f, likes soft and might stay this distance. White Caviar, a sister to St Leger winner Galileo Chrome, won a course handicap rated just 81 last November but remains unexposed. She makes her seasonal debut but likes soft ground and is likely to continue improving. Irish Lullaby likes soft and has a race-fitness edge. She holds Star Image (finished fourth, but has Group 3-placed form over two-miles), Blazing Skies (seventh), Joupe (eighth) and Icykel (ninth) on recent Cork form and being proven at this distance, should uphold that form. Moon Daisy hasn't run since August but stays well and would have strong claims if the ground dried out significantly.

This is competitive with black type up for grabs and the suggestion is GRECIAN SLIPPER, who left her 3-y-o form well behinds when third to Mellow Magic and she may well improve again. Irish Lullaby and Star Image are just a couple of potential threats.

At Cork STAR IMAGE was keeping on at the finish over 1m4f. She may turn the tables on runner-up Irish Lullaby over this trip

18:00 Kempton Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the information provided, 6.5/1 (6) KANOHI BREEZE seems like one of the likelier winners as she performed well in her last outings and improved with each start last summer. She also made the frame twice last year and could potentially get back on track after the 10-month break. However, it is important to note that any of the other horses could also surprise and perform well, as there is limited information provided about their past performances.

Penguin Island keeps finding one too good for her, finishing second on her last two starts, and she may suffer the same fate here trying to give 10lb to DELLA. Improving with experience, she was less than a length off the winner when runner-up at Southwell last month (with four lengths back to the third) and she could prove hard to beat today. Holy Fire caught the eye when third on her only start and may battle it out with Kanohi Breeze for the minor placing.

With a hood applied, DELLA left her debut form well behind when runner-up at Southwell last month and she can build on that effort to go one better. Andrew Balding's filly is taken to see off the challenge of Penguin Island, who can make her presence felt with her recent run behind her, while Holy Fire is open to improvement after an encouraging debut.

Penguin Island is the yardstick but DELLA can progress past her, having shown much more in the hood last time.

18:10 Brighton Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary provided, it is difficult to predict which horse will do well as each horse has its own strengths and weaknesses. However, 1.63/1 (7) BIG BARD and 5/1 (1) PINWHEEL both seem to have had recent good form and are carrying respectable odds, so they might be worth considering. 5/1 (5) STREET PARADE and 5.5/1 (4) FORCA BRASIL also have potential, while 10/1 (2) BATCHELOR BOY and 20/1 (6) MOUNT MOGAN may need more time to regain their form. Ultimately, it is up to the individual to do their own research and analysis before placing a bet.

BIG BARD has won back-to-back races before now and having run away with a 0-65 handicap at Windsor last week, he is an appealing proposition turned out under a 5lb penalty. It's an added bonus that the Gary Moore-trained gelding is also a previous C&D winner and, with Sean Kirrane pitching in with his 3lb claim, there is a lot to like. The wily Street Parade is effective here and is not dismissed, while Batchelor Boy and Pinwheel are others capable of going close.

FORCA BRASIL is back under the care of George Boughey and given he won on debut for the yard 2 years ago he's worth chancing off a very tempting mark before any market clues. Windsor-winner Big Bard and Pinwheel are feared.

Big Bard is opposed with PINWHEEL, who has yet to win in Britain but ran very well in defeat on Polytrack last month.

Based on the summary provided, 2.5/1 (7) REDRESSED seems like a strong contender as they have recently placed second in a Curragh Group 3 race and are open to plenty of improvement. 7/1 (14) MADLY TRULY is also worth considering as they have previously won a Naas maiden race and are significantly up in trip, which could work in their favor. 10/1 (4) INDIAN WISH may also perform well as they have had previous success in France and are now back up in trip.

Race-fit REDRESSED finished second in the Group 3 Park Express Stakes last month. Beaten by Believeinmiracles when green on debut, she has since improved and while she steps back up in distance, is suited by easy ground and can progress further. Battle-hardened Lyrical Poetry is rated just 1lb lower but is ground-versatile and has raced at all stakes levels. Well beaten by a subsequent Grade 1-placed winner in a Meydan Group 2 in February, there mightn't be much between her and the lesser-exposed selection. French Listed winner Indian Wish should benefit from her recent Irish debut and is suited by soft ground. Rolling The Dice, bought for 98,000gns last August, debuts for Paddy Twomey but her best form is on a sound surface and had wind surgery in March 2022. She needs to recapture her juvenile form but could improve for new connections. Beginnings was a wide-margin all-weather winner last November and while well held in a soft-ground Deauville Group 3 on April 6, might do better if today's ground dried significantly. Madly Truly and Dower House are closely matched on Leopardstown form but need to improve.

There is more to come from REDRESSED and she could be the way to go in what looks a good renewal of this listed race. Madly Truly is the pick of the 3-y-os, this longer trip sure to suit her, while Lyrical Poetry can go well after a fine run in Dubai.

Despite her yard having been notably quiet so far, REDRESSED (nap) gets the vote after showing up well on her return at the Curragh

1.63/1 (14) LADY DREAMER and 4.5/1 (5) EDDIE TEMPLE are likely to do well based on the summary, as they have shown promising form in their previous races and have potential for further improvement. Deep in My Heart and 12/1 (9) MONTY BAY are also worth considering as they have shown improvement in their recent races, while 20/1 (6) GRIGIO and 20/1 (10) PHOTON may also be worth watching out for based on their breeding and potential market support. The rest of the runners have less compelling form or are too inexperienced to accurately predict their chances.

Lady Dreamer has the best form after only being beaten a neck over C&D when she was last seen in September, but she is drawn in stall 12 on her return and that may put her at a disadvantage here. KANGAROO ran well when third on his first start at Wolverhampton and although only fifth at Lingfield in March, that was a better race and he may be worth another chance in this company. Monty Bay and Deep In My Heart are others to consider with plenty of improvement possible from them both.

LADY DREAMER's pair of runner-up efforts last year appeal as pretty strong form in the context of this so a successful reappearance looks on the cards. Eddie Temple and Hawajes are potential improvers for top yards.

Dual silver medallist LADY DREAMER, the strongest contender on form, is taken to go one better. Eddie Temple is feared most.

Based on the information given, 1.63/1 (5) QUINAULT and 3.33/1 (3) THE TOFF seem to be the strongest contenders. 1.63/1 (5) QUINAULT won comfortably on their recent handicap debut and although they have a 6lb penalty, they are described as a promising individual open to further improvement. 3.33/1 (3) THE TOFF also had a career best with a recent win and is described as suited to both turf and All-Weather surfaces, and likely to give another good account. 6/1 (7) ENBORNE and 7.5/1 (4) MENALIPPE also warrant consideration as lightly-raced contenders with potential.

QUINAULT was quite taking when successful on his handicap debut at Chelmsford last Thursday and a 6lb penalty might not be enough to stop Stuart Williams' charge from going in again. Fellow last-time-out winner The Toff has also hit some form of late and the 3lb rise for his Lingfield triumph shouldn't prevent another bold bid. Menalippe looks like she may appreciate this return to 7f and is another to note.

QUINAULT looked well ahead of his opening mark when scoring at Chelmsford last week and, if the race doesn't come too soon, he's likely to follow up. Fellow last-time-out winner The Toff is the chief threat and Enborne merits respect.

He faces a different test here but QUINAULT looked a long way ahead of his handicap mark when winning over 6f on Polytrack on Thursday.

Based on the summary, the most promising horse appears to be 1/1 (11) PERFECT PORTRAIT. She has a strong juvenile form and finished 3 lengths fourth in a Curragh Group 3 race. She is also described as a promising type and sets a solid standard. The other horses have varying degrees of experience and performance, with some being newcomers or having only run once or twice.

PERFECT PORTRAIT was smart in two runs last year, is suited by easy ground and steps up slightly in distance. Classic-entered and out of a Listed winner, the form of both her runs has worked out well and should prove hard to beat on reappearance. Angelic Appeal was an 80,000gns yearling and is out of a winning half-sister to a Group 2 winner and could be capable while E200,000-yearling Empress Of Beauty is a half-sister to a Group 2 winner and could also be smart. Time To Soar narrowly beat Galileo-sired Red Carpet at Cork recently but both need to improve while Gulf Pearl was well held on a recent reappearance. Susiesparkle was well beaten on course-and-distance debut recently but shaped well and should improve.

PERFECT PORTRAIT looked a banker for a win when running a cracker in a listed race when last seen in October and is the obvious selection if overcoming a potentially tricky draw. Empress of Beauty is an interesting newcomer, while Susiesparkle can improve from her first run here.

Some interesting and well-bred newcomers but it will take a good one to get by 97-rated PERFECT PORTRAIT who sets the bar high

3/1 (4) ARCTICIAN and 6.5/1 (9) SATIN SNAKE are the most likely to do well based on their recent form and past success at the course. They both have multiple wins at the C&D and have been running consistently this year. 10/1 (6) SAYIFYOUWILL is also a contender with three C&D wins and good form this year. 12/1 (8) SECRET STRENGTH could bounce back with a switch to a visor. The other horses either have poor recent form or lack success at the course.

SAYIFYOUWILL is entitled to have a big say here having won at the course three times and over the trip on seven occasions, with her latest success at Lingfield in February off just 1lb higher in the handicap. That suggests she could be a player again, although Satin Snake is a worthy adversary. An unlucky fourth at Newcastle after a slow start, he can go well along with top-weight Windseeker, who is expected to improve after his first start of the season.

BILLY MILL's Doncaster run is easy to excuse, and back at a venue where he has an excellent record, a bold showing looks on the cards from a good draw. Arctician and Mobashr head the opposition.

A competitive event in which SATIN SNAKE may be able to notch another C&D success. Sayifyouwill is feared most.

It is difficult to predict which horse will do well based on this summary. However, 4.5/1 (1) SIMPLY GORGEOUS and 5/1 (6) TARA seem to have performed relatively well in their recent races and are described as having more appeal than others in the field.

With solid recent form thin on the ground, this could be a good opportunity for TARA to gain a first career success. Lydia Richards' mare finished a respectable third at Chelmsford last month and a similar bid may suffice on this switch to the turf. Sapphire's Moon wasn't disgraced when fourth over C&D recently and is feared most, with Simply Gorgeous making most appeal of the remainder.

ROMANOVICH hasn't had much racing and there was mild encouragement in his sixth at Wolverhampton last time out, so he's a tentative choice in a weak race. Simply Gorgeous is worthy of consideration and Tara arrives on the back of a creditable run, so she's not a forlorn hope.

Only 1lb higher than when winning at Chelmsford in February, SIMPLY GORGEOUS might be the answer to a tricky puzzle.

Based on the summary, 4.5/1 (4) SECRET SAUCE and 8/1 (12) NOT EVEN MAYBE seem to have a better chance of doing well in the race as they have previously performed well in handicaps and have had some gear changes which may improve their performance. 12/1 (5) SNOWDONIA SONG may also be worth keeping an eye on as they are making their handicap debut and have had cheekpieces added for the first time. The other horses do not seem as persuasive based on their recent performances and form.

BANG PO showed improved form on his third start in handicaps when fourth over 7f here a fortnight ago. Outpaced early in the straight, he stuck to his task well and had five of these rivals behind. The Cotai Glory colt looks sure to appreciate this extra furlong. Timeless Piece was slowly away and didn't have the clearest of runs in the straight when unplaced at Tipperary over 1m1f. Quite well fancied on that handicap debut, she made late headway and may be able to turn around form with Not Even Maybe who finished fourth. Secret Sauce also contested that race at Tipperary but was a bit keen in first-time blinkers. He had fared better when runner-up at Bellewstown on his previous outing and the cheekpieces worn on that occasion are refitted.

A tricky low-grade 3-y-o handicap that could go to SNOWDONIA SONG, who looks the type to do better at this level. Happenstance can come on for his recent return here and take a hand. Bang Po is another to note.

Having shaped like he would appreciate this trip when fourth over 7f here, BANG PO is taken to confirm that form with several rivals

Based on the summary, 1.63/1 (2) REAL DREAM seems to be the leading contender as he already has a 1m4f turf win and has undergone a gelding and wind operation, which could improve his performance. He also won his last race at Doncaster and is currently on his handicap debut. 3.5/1 (6) WONDER STARELZAAM also seems like a strong contender as he recently won a 10-runner handicap at Lingfield after 8 months off. 6.5/1 (7) UDABERRI and 7/1 (5) BIZARRE LAW have each-way claims and could also perform well on the day. The other horses have either not won in a while or have had recent below-par performances, so they are less likely to do well.

REAL DREAM showed a decent level of ability last year and, given his connections, it would be no surprise to see the unexposed four-year-old progress significantly this year. If he does improve, then a mark of 86 may vastly underestimate him. Wonder Starelzaam made a winning return at Lingfield in March and may prove to be the main threat, although Udaberri and Bizarre Law should not be underestimated.

Upped in trip, REAL DREAM was still green when getting off the mark at Doncaster when last seen in June, so with further improvement to come (has had a wind op) he can make a winning handicap debut for his in-form yard. Udaberri shaped well on his return last month and is feared most, ahead of Wonder Starelzaam.

In a trappy event HAKU is marginally preferred to Bizarre Law and Wonder Starelzaam.

ASENSE was by no means disgraced when denied a clear run on her way to finishing sixth over C&D last time out. The daughter of Equiano has been dropped 1lb for that effort and looks poised to go close with Sean Kirrane claiming 3lb in the saddle. Lisdarragh sits 1lb below his last winning mark and demands the utmost respect, despite posting a lacklustre effort at Chelmsford last month. Global Style is still a maiden on turf but may sneak minor money.

SEATTLE KING (engaged here Tuesday) scored over C&D recently and may well be able to repeat the feat in a thin race. Asense and Sun Festival were both behind the selection that day but the former didn't have a hard race and looks the main danger.

Gary Moore's ASENSE (nap) met traffic when sixth on her seasonal debut and, with that run under her belt, might be ready to strike now.

It mentions that the horse has improved on recent efforts and won a handicap race at the same course and distance (C&D) 15 days ago, beating 10/1 (12) LONDON PALLADIUM by half a length and always holding on. 3.5/1 (1) ROCK ETOILE is also given respect and is priced at 11/2. 10/1 (12) LONDON PALLADIUM is also mentioned as a contender, with a good second place finish to 3.5/1 (1) ROCK ETOILE last time out and past wins in Britain. Other potentially competitive horses are also mentioned, such as 5/1 (7) NEVADA BRAVE and 7/1 (2) ROYAL TRIBUTE who have shown good recent form but may face challenges due to heavy racing campaigns.

ROCK ETOILE overcame a wide draw when getting home by half a length from the re-opposing London Palladium over C&D last month and may have another in him off a 5lb higher mark. That was a first win on turf for Andy Slattery's charge and he clearly likes this track as he was twice runner-up here previously, including when chasing home recent Curragh Group 2 winner Visualisation. London Palladium was having his first outing for seven months, whereas the selection was race-fit, so it could be close between the pair again. Nevada Brave, an all-weather winner over 1m2f in January, was placed on heavy ground at Leopardstown and could go well although 1m might be a bit sharp for him. Pallasmore Lass, runner-up twice at Cork this time last year, disappointed on stable debut at that track but is capable of better and Colin Keane takes the mount again.

LONDON PALLADIUM was a good second to the reopposing Rock Etoile on his recent C&D reappearance and is taken to build on that and turn the tables on Andrew Slattery's charge. Royal Tribute and Leviosa are others who enter calculations.

Tim Doyle's SIMPLY SIDEWAYS is 7lb lower than when fifth here a year ago and is put forward as an each-way option in an open race

20:00 Kempton Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

7.5/1 (5) THE SPOTLIGHT KID seems to have the best chance of winning based on his recent form and track record. He ended 2022 with two wins at Yarmouth, followed by a victory in a 15-runner handicap at the same track in October, despite wearing cheekpieces for the first time. Although he's been off for six months, he shouldn't be dismissed lightly. 5.5/1 (11) CALIN'S LAD and 6.5/1 (1) SANDY PARADISE also have solid claims, while 18/1 (4) DUBAI IMMO and 33/1 (9) A MHACIN are unlikely to be in contention.

SANDY PARADISE filled second place over 7f here last time and the step back up in trip could help him to go one better off the same mark. Calin's Lad has won twice in recent months and merits plenty of respect in his bid for a hat-trick. Others who make the shortlist are Give A Little Back, Trans Montana and The Spotlight Kid.

CALONNE ended 2022 in good form and, with both of his wins last year coming off the back of a break, he can make a winning reappearance with the return to 1m to suit. Sandy Paradise has been running well since joining his current yard and could be the main danger, ahead of Give A Little Back.

Calin's Lad is thriving and should go well but it might be worth chancing MR FUSTIC, whose reappearance run wasn't without promise.

20:10 Brighton Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 0.91/1 (3) HELLAVAPACE seems like the strongest contender as they have recently won without penalty at the same track and distance and have gone well at the course in the past. Additionally, they have obvious claims without penalty.

This competitive contest can go to HELLAVAPACE, who kept on well to edge clear of her rivals in an apprentice handicap at Wolverhampton. The five-year-old escapes a penalty and can take full advantage. If she fails to fire, it would be no surprise if Storm Asset went one better than his weekend effort at Wolverhampton, when staying on into second over 7f. Rivas Rob Roy hasn't been at the top of his game of late, but this step back up in trip may yield improvement.

HELLAVAPACE ended a losing run in good style under Olivia Tubb at Wolverhampton last week, seeing off a subsequent winner, and her claims are obvious given she's unpenalised. Storm Asset and Letter of The Law are dangers.

Consistent mare HELLAVAPACE scored under a positive Olivia Tubb ride at Wolverhampton eight days ago and is on the same mark here.

20:20 Gowran Park Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

It is difficult to confidently predict which horse will do well based solely on this summary, as there are several horses with solid claims and past achievements. However, 4.5/1 (13) LISAMARIA, Neverfindanother, and 8/1 (4) SUPER CUB all have recent good performances and are expected to give another good account in this race. 9/1 (5) THE BOG BANK and 10/1 (11) SHONA MEA are also worth considering, as they both have recent good finishes and experience at the course.

Paul Flynn continues to send out plenty of winners under both codes and LISAMARIA looks like a filly who should be capable of success in this grade. Fifth on her reappearance over 7f at Leopardstown, she bumped into a well-treated rival when runner-up over 1m1f at Tipperary and can go one place better from a good draw. You Owe Me Money, a maiden after 18 starts, has been a luckless type in her career to date and would have gone close on seasonal debut at Cork but for being hampered at a crucial stage. She ran well a couple of times at this venue last year. Bringsty, hampered in the straight when behind the selection at Tipperary, had previously beaten Neverfindanother U over 1m1f at Leopardstown and is now 7lb worse off with that rival who won on the all-weather over 1m2f in March.

YOU OWE ME MONEY made a positive start for his new stable whrn third in a big field at Cork recently and he's worth a chance to land this similarly competitive event. Finke River and Neverfindanother U could provide the main dangers.

Paul Flynn has done really well with his team of Flat handicappers in recent months and LISAMARIA might be another winner for him

20:30 Kempton Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Predictions: 1st - 6.5/1 (4) DAMASCUS FINISH 2nd - 8/1 (6) HEERATHETRACK 3rd - 7/1 (8) LAILAH

Damascus Finish has been running to a consistent level in recent starts and is worthy of consideration, along with Purple Poppy, who must compete under a 5lb penalty having won at Lingfield one week ago. However, a chance is taken on the Michael Appleby-trained THRAVE. A series of below-par efforts followed his course win in November, but the eight-year-old hinted at a return to form when beaten two and a half lengths at Wolverhampton last month and he's on a competitive mark if able to back it up.

PURPLE POPPY seems to have returned better than ever and, if she can get across from stall 11, she should be hard to pass once again. Damascus Finish is one of few others who arrives in form, so he looks the main danger, while Ower Starlight should make his presence felt if he can put a rare poor effort behind him.

The suggestion is likely improver LAILAH (nap). Second choice is Cap D'antibes, ahead of Damascus Finish and Purple Poppy.

21:00 Kempton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

1st: 4.5/1 (3) AGAPANTHER, 2nd: 2.25/1 (4) DELLA MARE, 3rd: 2.12/1 (1) FISCAL POLICY.

Agapanther had the benefit of a low draw when seeing off the challenge of DELLA MARE (second) over C&D two weeks ago, but the daughter of Outstrip is not afforded that luxury today and the latter is fancied to reverse that form now 5lb better off at the weights. Fiscal Policy retains potential and must be respected on his return from an absence, while Magicinthemaking, who boasts a good record around here, cannot be ruled out now back down to her last winning mark.

AGAPANTHER was seen to good effect given how the race panned out over C&D a fortnight ago but she could do no more than win easily and her revised mark looks well within range. Della Mare finished second in that race and that could be the same scenario again, with Magicinthemaking the pick of the rest having dropped to her last winning mark.

Agapanther won well here two weeks ago but the unexposed FISCAL POLICY is preferred this time.

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.

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.
