13:15 Curragh Maiden 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Eric Lock should have learned plenty from his debut fourth over 5f at Dundalk last month and the son of Advertise looks sure to improve for this step up in distance. However, the Aidan O'Brien-trained RIGHT AND TRUE could have too much class for these rivals. He ticks plenty of the right boxes on his pedigree and may open his account this afternoon en route to bigger things. Market support for fellow newcomers Elzem and Real Life would also be interesting.

MOUNT PARNASSUS caught the eye on debut over C&D recently, and is open to considerable improvement, so might be worth chancing in a very well-contested maiden. There's several interesting newcomers in opposition, headed by Right And True and Barnavara

Joseph O'Brien may take this with ELZEM,, a brother to Group 1-winning filly Champers Elysees

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

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

In a race with more questions than answers, it seems likely that the Gordon Elliott-trained Mordor will head the market after his 10-length Limerick third, but that form does not look unbeatable. WHATSANOTHERYEAR went into a few notebooks after his debut fifth and he should only have learned from that experience, making him a very interesting contender. Dromineer Smurphy weakened late on over further at Clonmel and could surprise a few with even nominal improvement, despite a rise in class.

LE COQ HARDI offered plenty to work on in a hot Punchestown novice hurdle in November and is hard to get away from in this company with improvement likely. Mordor and Old Port are dangers.

There's a lot of dead wood. MORDOR has become disappointing but he warrants another chance in a maiden of this nature.

13:50 Curragh Listed 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A winner on the opening day of the season, ARIZONA BLAZE can maintain his unbeaten record for trainer Adrian Murray. The third horse, Monotone, went on to give that particular form a boost when successful at Cork on his next start. With his ability to handle testing conditions not in question, Murray's colt can make it two wins from two under David Egan. Dundalk maiden winner Morning Vietnam looked a very useful prospect when easily going in at the first time of asking, but the Michael O'Callaghan-trained colt faces an altogether different set of conditions here. Whistlejacket, who showed plenty of early speed on his debut over 6f, should appreciate dropping back a furlong now.

A hot renewal of this listed contest with WHISTLEJACKET taken to emulate his distinguished brother Little Big Bear and make his second outing a winning one having been beaten in the same 6f maiden here on debut. Arizona Blaze and Morning Vietnam made successful starts and seem sure to improve also.

Having impressed when winning here on the opening day of the season, with Monotone in third, ARIZONA BLAZE can win again.

13:55 Beverley Maiden (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

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

LARCHILL LASS was beaten by less distance than she gave away at the start when second over this course and distance 11 days ago and, with that debut run likely to have taught her plenty, the Karl Burke-trained filly can go one better now. Call Me Harswell was third that day and has to enter calculations, while Stat Goddess (fourth) also reopposes and can do better.

LARCHHILL LASS created a good inpression when second over C&D on debut recently and is the one to beat. Spring Corn and Call Me Harswell, who was a place behind the selection on debut, head the dangers.

This valuable prize can go to SPRING CORN who shaped with promise on his Ripon debut and has the best draw here.

14:00 Windsor Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

The consistent Different Breed was a notably game winner on the all-weather when last seen. However, that success came over 7f and this is no easy task reverting to turf off a 2lb higher mark. With that in mind, CHARLIE MASON could be worth chancing after showing up well with a fourth-placed finish on his seasonal/stable debut at Bath last month. With the in-form Rossa Ryan back in the saddle, a breakthrough success on turf is feasible for the selection off 1lb lower here. Kiss And Run completes the shortlist.

KISS AND RUN improved when second at Bath last time and a performance of similar merit could be enough to go one better at the possible expense of last-time-out winner Different Breed. Dark Fandango is a likely improver on handicap debut, so he's also considered.

This looks sure to be run at a good clip and that will suit CHARLIE MASON who got outpaced over shorter at Bath before running on.

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

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

Benjis Benefit once more failed to justify favouritism when runner-up at Downpatrick recently, although a similar performance on his stable bow for Denis Hogan is likely to see him in the mix once more. However, it could be worth taking a chance on UP AND OUT building on her third-placed reappearance at Tramore last month. That marked a return to form for Gordon Elliott's mare and Jake Coen's 5lb claim could prove vital. Forever Frankie and Breagagh also warrant a closer look.

BENJIS BENEFIT was a rare one who failed to deliver when the money was down twice for Emmet Mullins but he's joined another shrewd yard and is worth another chance. Forever Frankie produced a big career best at Tramore a fortnight ago and is a threat, along with Breagagh.

Dropping back in trip may not be ideal for BENJIS BENEFIT but 2m1f around here should be enough of a test and he's well up to winning

14:15 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

FOREVER EIGHTEEN was a good third on his return at Newcastle, despite being beaten three lengths, and dropped back in trip with a prime draw in stall nine, he has to have a decent chance with Alex Jary's claim in the saddle a bonus. Anglesey Lad looks capable of mounting a strong challenge after finishing fourth on his first run in six months, while Lady Twilight is one to watch in the market ahead of her handicap debut for the Moores.

ANGLESEY LAD has plenty of dash and could open his account dropped in trip after an encouraging comeback at Wolverhampton. It's Showtime and Forever Eighteen are a couple of the other likely players.

Forever Eighteen is respected but the draw is no issue this time for MONKEY MISS, whose dam won on soft going, and she's preferred.

14:25 Curragh Listed 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The Aidan O'Brien-trained SAMUEL COLT should appreciate this easier assignment having run really well when runner-up in a Group 3 at Leopardstown on his reappearance. The form of his two-year-old maiden win at this venue last October has been well advertised subsequently. Bright Stripes finished a long way behind Samuel Colt in that aforementioned Leopardstown race but that was almost certainly not his true running. Andy Oliver's colt had some very smart form in decent company as a juvenile, so is worth another chance to prove himself. Norwalk Havoc needs to improve on what he has done to date but the Jessica Harrington-trained gelding won't be easily passed if getting to the front early on.

Aidan O'Brien took this last year with Paddington en route to Group 1 glory and SAMUEL COLT looks yet another smart prospect for the Ballydoyle handler after his encouraging second in a Leopardstown Group 3 last month. Norwalk Havoc looks a 3-y-o of some potential himself and is the obvious danger.

SAMUEL COLT can go one better than on his seasonal debut when runner-up in a Leopardstown Group 3.

14:30 Beverley Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

BRUMMELL was second to a reliable yardstick on the all-weather last month and, given that performance created the impression there is plenty for trainer Julie Camacho to work with, the son of Dandy Man appears a solid option off the same mark here. Willolarupi also ran well on his return to action on similar ground conditions at Catterick 12 days ago and is notable off 1lb lower. The betting can guide as far as seasonal debutants Mecca's Duchess and La La Lucrative are concerned.

Assuming he's as effective on turf, BRUMMELL has a lot in his favour given he arrives on the back of an excellent runner-up effort from this mark. Blinkers may help Willolarupi and he's the chief threat, though Vintage Love represents a yard in good order and has De Sousa in the saddle.

Preference is for the well drawn QUEENS ROAD REVUE who handles conditions and is on a fair mark for her handicap debut.

14:35 Windsor Stakes (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Haya was strongly supported on her seasonal return at Bath last month and appeals with her match-fitness topped up, while similar comments apply to Big Lou and Miletus, who both have scope for progression. Nevertheless, the vote goes to GILDED WATER, who showed good speed before becoming unbalanced on his debut at Newmarket 18 days ago and, sure to be wiser, this could be a good time to side with the William Haggas-trained gelding.

USUARIO AMIGO outran huge odds to finish a promising third at Newmarket on debut and he might not need to improve all that much to get off the mark at the second attempt. Haya is a big threat if she strips fitter for her reappearance and I Can't Believe is a notable newcomer.

There was stacks of promise in USUARIO AMIGO's debut performance last month at Newmarket, whereas Haya underperformed at Bath.

14:40 Warwick Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 21f Race Class Flow

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

This is wide open and not too many can confidently be ruled out. However, CLARAROSE showed a bit more promise when second over 2m4f at Fakenham last month and looks worth chancing, given she is still learning her trade and runs off the same mark. Midnight Gold's Southwell success reads well in the context of this race and she rates the biggest threat to the selection off just 6lb higher. Grain Of Hope and After Many Days are just a couple of others to monitor in the betting.

CAUGHTINASPELL offered little on her 5 starts in Ireland but she's been allotted a modest mark as a result, and starting out for a yard with good record with new recruits, she's worth chancing for the in-form Olly Murphy yard. Second choice is Grain of Hope, who should appreciate this step up in trip, with Clararose and Midnight Gold taken to fight out third.

An open race in which CLARAROSE gets the vote ahead of Midnight Gold, Grain Of Hope and Kit's Coty.

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

LOOK TO THE WEST struggled at Grade 1 level on her most recent outing at Fairyhouse in March but her previous third in a Grade 3 contest suggests that she could be hard to beat here. Gold In The Rivers had plenty in hand when getting off the mark at Limerick last time and could prove to be the main threat to the selection, ahead of Born Braver and Rocky's Diamond.

LOOK TO THE WEST fared about as well as could be expected in Graded company after making a winning Rules debut and back down in class, she'll take some stopping. Born Braver is the obvious threat on form, though Gold In The Rivers and Rocky's Diamond are open to progress.

It's hard to get away from LOOK TO THE WEST who takes a huge drop in class after chasing home Jade De Grugy in her last two races.

14:50 Bath Maiden (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Trainer Clive Cox has won two of the three runnings of this race and he has strong claims again with STAR ANTHEM. Beaten just a neck on his Newbury debut despite being carried right, he should be wiser now and could well make amends for that loss here. Siegen is possibly the best of the Richard Hannon pair with Pat Dobbs in the saddle and, as a son of Blue Point out of an Exceed and Excel mare, he is bred for speed. Red Sand could follow them home.

STAR ANTHEM showed more than enough when second on debut at Newbury recently to suggest he'll be winning sooner rather than later, and this looks a good opening. Siegen, in particular, and Red Sand are the interesting newcomers.

The clear form pick is Newbury runner-up STAR ANTHEM. Interesting newcomers Siegen and Red Sand look the biggest dangers.

14:55 Kempton Novices Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Mirabad and Ryan's Rocket both won last time out and may well have more to offer as they gain in experience, but they have to give 6lb to EXCELERO, whose form may turn out to be the best on offer. His fourth to Sir Gino at Cheltenham in January looks even better with the winner taking the Anniversary Hurdle at Aintree since, and he followed that with an easy success at Market Rasen which will have boosted his confidence.

EXCELERO boasts some good juvenile hurdle form and could be useful as he gets to grips with racing. He can follow up his Market Rasen victory. The presence of three other previous hurdles winners give this a warm look for an early-season novice, with Ryan's Rocket feared most ahead of Mirabad.

After running well behind a couple of class acts it was no surprise to see EXCELERO win as he did at Market Rasen.

15:00 Curragh Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Madrid Handicap third SLUICE could prove well treated off just a 1lb higher mark. The runner-up in that Naas contest has won subsequently, while the fourth has been placed in both Listed and Group 3 races. Meeting nothing of that calibre here, Joseph O'Brien's filly can give the weight away. Pepper Noir made a pleasing turf debut when fifth against her elders over course and distance last month. The Gavin Cromwell-trained filly should be suited to a race restricted to her own sex and age group. Glimmerglass catches the eye towards the foot of the weights, as the maiden in which the John Feane-trained filly finished seventh here last back-end has been well franked in recent weeks.

MADAME PLAINTIFF ran out a ready winner on her handicap debut at Gowran a fortnight ago and even a 9 lb rise could prove lenient. She can follow up. Sluice and Asian Daze are two of the dangers.

Having run a fine race behind a well-handicapped rival in the Madrid Handicap on return, SLUICE can show the benefit of that.

15:05 Beverley Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Kindest Nation won with a good deal in hand at Southwell in March and makes her turf/handicap debut from a competitive rating, so has to be high on the shortlist. However, PRINCESS ALEX kept on to score in an eye-catching manner at Haydock nine days ago and a 5lb higher mark could still underestimate this daughter of Dark Angel. Mysteryofthesands, who is a potential improver, completes the shortlist.

PRINCESS ALEX left her reappearance form trailing in her wake when a dominant winner at Haydock last week and a 5 lb rise may not prevent further success. Both Mysteryofthesands and Korroor appeal as likely improvers and head the opposition.

The vote goes to PUELLA LAW (nap), who showed plenty of ability last season including when runner-up over this C&D on her debut.

15:10 Windsor Stakes (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

With an appealing pedigree and two runs on the all-weather under his belt, VIBRATO is a logical choice as he debuts on turf at a winnable level. The son of No Nay Never was second to a progressive type at Southwell when last seen and another step forward could suffice here. Normandy Legend is an obvious threat after his Kempton second last month, while Galyx and A Major Payne are other appealing types now they have some experience to draw upon.

NORMANDY LEGEND sets a clear standard and is still open to improvement, so he's very much the one to beat. Vibrato and once-raced Galyx can fight out second spot.

The form standard they set is not that high but calculations seem to be dominated by GALYX, Normandy Legend and Vibrato.

15:15 Warwick Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

AVAKATE has shown stacks of promise in bumpers, both on these shores and in Ireland, and is introduced to hurdling at a very realistic level. The Alan King-trained gelding is readily suggested as the most notable contender, although there should be more to come from Dan Skelton stablemates Hot Fizzy Lizzy and Get Sky High, especially the former who showed ability at Stratford when last seen and can be fancied to take a step forward here.

AVAKATE was talented enough to win twice in bumpers, and kept to her own sex now hurdling, this looks a very good opportunity. Dan Skelton is responsible for Get Sky High and Hot Fizzy Lizzy and they appear to be the chief threats.

The most striking contender is Alan King's AVAKATE, who won a Listed bumper in December and could have a bright future over hurdles.

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

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

MAGIC TRICKS may have pulled up in the Martin Pipe at the Cheltenham Festival but the fact he contested that race suggests a big chasing debut could be on the cards in this company, as does his Listed hurdle victory at this venue in November. Gordon Elliott's gelding looks the one to beat, although Jimmy Chou Pecos Aa's experience over fences could count for a lot and he must be respected. Fathom Two is no forlorn hope on his chasing debut for Gavin Cromwell.

MAGIC TRICKS was never a factor in the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham when last seen in March but he's a classy recruit to chasing and given the yard he represents, is sure to be well prepared for this. This step back up in trip is sure to suit Ottoman Style and he is the obvious threat.

A course winner over hurdles, OTTOMAN STYLE ran well against useful opposition on chase debut and stepping back up in trip will suit

The first-time visor did the trick last time; now needs to back that up back on turf.

15:25 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Viewfromthestars was all out to win at Chelmsford last time and a 2lb rise may be enough to stop the son of Starspangledbanner from following up. He can go close along with the consistent Joy Choi, who has finished in the top three in each of her last five starts, but a chance is taken on WE'RE REUNITED. His two wins on turf were both here, one over this trip and both off higher marks, and he looks all set for another big run.

SISTERS IN THE SKY struggled from marks in the 60s on turf last year but she's tumbled down the weights over winter so gets the nod to regain the winning thread dropped back to the minimum trip at the expense of Joy Choi, who should come on appreciably from her recent course return. Profit And Loss had made a solid start for George Baker so completes the shortlist.

Everything looks set for SYMBOL OF HOPE (nap), who's fancied to complete a hat-trick in this race. Joy Choi is second choice.

15:30 Kempton Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow

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

Isocrate has the form in the book having finished second on his last two starts, when beaten a head at Sandown and two lengths at Exeter over shorter. He looks all set for a big run over this trip, but may be outclassed by FASOL. Group class on the Flat in France, Paul Nicholls' gelding was fourth at Newbury over two miles on his hurdling debut but ought to be far happier upped in distance. Ideal Des Bordes is another who could get involved after his wind surgery.

FASOL stayed well on the level, which augurs well for this step up in tripp and sure to step up on his opening hurdles run, he should take some stopping, Ideal des Bordes has had a breathing of after stopping quickly at Exeter, and if that procedure has worked, he's the obvious threat.

It's best to forgive and forget Exeter last time and IDEAL DES BORDES had previously shaped very nicely on two visits to Ascot.

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

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

Although she would most likely prefer a sounder surface, JUMBLY shaped well enough when runner-up on soft-heavy ground here on her reappearance to suggest she can go one better now. With the benefit of that run under her belt, the Joseph O'Brien-trained filly should strip fitter, while the ground is probably not going to be as stamina-sapping. The Fozzy Stack-trained You Send Me reverts to what is arguably her optimum distance having raced over both 6f and a mile of late. The four-year-old should have no difficulty coping with ground conditions. As well as Jumbly, trainer Joseph O'Brien looks to have a particularly strong hand with Gregarina and Valpolicella also capable of featuring.

JUMBLY should be sharper with her reappearance in the Gladness behind her and can resume winning ways under Ryan Moore. Her new stablemate Valpolicella, a listed winner in Germany, may give her most to do ahead of the William Haggas-trained Doom and Paddy Twomey's unbeaten filly Vain Gloria.

Ryan Moore takes the ride on JUMBLY who started the season with a pleasing C&D second and can record her first win for Joseph O'Brien

15:40 Beverley Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

ARDBRACCAN appeared to be revitalised by the combination of a 189-day layoff and a return to turf when scoring in ready fashion at Nottingham last month. A 6lb rise in the ratings looks more than workable for Mick Appleby's mare and she's taken to follow up. The biggest threat may emerge from the hat-trick seeking Do I Dream, who is sure to prove popular in her current heart, while fellow in-form rivals Hostelry and Willow Baby aren't easily discounted either.

DO I DREAM looks up to completing the hat-trick from a mark only 2 lb higher than when winning at Pontefract. Ardbraccan remains well treated on her best form and can't be ruled out despite a less-than-ideal draw, whith Gentle Ellen also respected on return.

The 7yo HOSTELRY, who won so easily at Thirsk on her reappearance, is taken to reverse Ripon form with Do I Dream.

15:45 Windsor Handicap (Class 5) 11f Race Class Flow

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

Memories Maker was beaten seven lengths into second in this grade on his handicap bow last time and he should remain competitive off the same mark. However, COLLEGE CHOIR looks the way to go. William Haggas' representative put in her best performance when hitting the frame at Kempton in February and she now makes her handicap debut off a mark of 70. The daughter of Nathaniel is bred to be a lot better than her rating and she could be the one to beat. Free Speech completes the shortlist.

COLLEGE CHOIR is gradually getting the hang of things and she's bred to be better than an opening mark of 70, so she takes narrow preference over Free Speech, who should benefit from the step back up in trip. Memories Maker is another one to be interested in.

Major improvement in the course of her three AW qualifying races earns COLLEGE CHOIR the vote on this handicap and turf debut.

15:50 Warwick Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

IRISH LULLABY, who reached a mark of 96 on the Flat in Ireland, is a highly-notable type now he has switched codes and, having shown distinct promise on his hurdles debut at Market Rasen in late March, the son of Nathaniel is a stand out selection in this company. Open to any amount of improvement, the five-year-old could have too much for this opposition. Idylle Sauvage is feared most, although Barra Blue can be fancied to show up well despite this being her hurdles debut.

Useful Flat stayer IRISH LULLABY made an encouraging start over hurdles for new connections at Market Rasen and is hard to get away from in a thin maiden with improvement on the cards. Idylle Sauvage and Irish Chorus are dangers.

Preference is for IRISH LULLABY, who was a useful triple Flat winner in Ireland and made a promising start over hurdles in March.

15:55 Down Royal Handicap Chase 26f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Several have good chances based on peak performances, however, SWEET WILL is still relatively unexposed over fences and earns the vote based on his potential to find more now he is back beyond 3m, with ground conditions looking ideal. Favori Logique is dangerous to underestimate from the foot of the handicap, while Dorking Cock, Goodnightngodbless and Temptationinmilan all have solid each-way claims. Galon De Vauzellel (third in this last year) and Read To Return would add even more spice to the race if turned out again following their outings at Punchestown on Saturday.

SWEET WILL is very well handicapped on old form and put in one of his better efforts when third at Tramore last time, so he's fancied to land this weak event upped in distance. Dorking Cock at least arrives on the back of a solid showing, so he's a danger, while Shantou Show isn't one to rule out.

Getting back on goodish ground looks a big plus for FAVORI LOGIQUE and his penultimate effort over 3m4f was highly encouraging.

16:00 Bath Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Afloat recorded a double at Yarmouth when last seen in August and she makes her return to action off a 4lb higher mark, so she has to be considered. However, the vote goes to CIOTOG, who has been thereabouts in this grade the last twice and he can make the most of an unchanged mark after his close-up third at Wolverhampton last time. Midsummer Music is another to watch out for.

CIOTOG arrives in good heart having been placed on all 3 starts this year, caught further back than ideal when third at Wolverhampton last time, so he could be ready to add a third course success to his tally. The hat-trick seeking Afloat isn't taken lightly on her reappearance, with Midsummer Music completing the shortlist.

Afloat was on the upgrade when last seen, but the vote goes to BLOODHOUND, who could never get in from a wide stall (1m) latest.

16:05 Kempton Handicap Chase (Class 3) 24f Race Class Flow

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

Killer Kane could surprise here with his two C&D wins, the last of which came in February 2023 off this mark, suggesting he is in with a chance. The nine-year-old can go well if he is back to his best, but on recent form QUICK DRAW might have the edge. Four times a winner over fences including last time out at Wincanton, Nicky Henderson's gelding remains on an upward curve. Our Jet is another to consider back in more realistic company after his seventh in a better race at Cheltenham.

QUICK DRAW made it 4 wins in this sphere for Nicky Henderson at Wincanton in February and returning from another break, this could be the time to catch him again. He gets the vote ahead of Karl Philippe, who ran well back over fences when third over C&D a fortnight ago. Our Jet can edge out Unanswered Prayers for the bronze medal.

A competitive race with a few holding chances. KILLER KANE runs this C&D well and getting back on better ground is a big plus.

16:10 Curragh Group 2 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Epsom Derby third WHITE BIRCH can continue his revival by adding to his recent C&D win. The John Joseph Murphy-trained colt ran below-par in the Irish Derby last July and again failed to show his true form when beaten in Group 3 class at Leopardstown on his final start. However, there was plenty to like about his winning reappearance at this track last month. Elegant Man is a fascinating contender for Adrian Murray on his first start on turf. The four-year-old put up a hugely impressive weight-carrying performance when winning at Newcastle over Easter but has yet to race on grass. The Joseph O'Brien-trained Maxux looks best of the remainder.

ELEGANT MAN produced a really smart handicap performance to defy top weight in an ultra-competitive affair at Newcastle over Easter and can take the step up to Group level in his stride if proving as effective on turf. Recent Alleged Stakes 1-2 White Birch and Maxux can give Adrian Murray's charge most to do.

MAXUX is 3lb better off with White Birch for a neck defeat in the Alleged Stakes over C&D last time and can exact revenge.

16:15 Beverley Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

SWATCH justified strong support in the market when landing the spoils at Bath last week. The Time Test gelding should cope with this quick turnaround and a 5lb penalty may not be enough to prevent him from completing a double. Doncaster runner-up Mister Sox was collared at the winning post on that occasion and he may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Ey Up Its Jazz, who should appreciate a return to this distance.

SWATCH made his second start for Alice Haynes a winning one at Bath a week ago and this low-mileage 5-y-o may well have plenty more to offer. He's selected to follow up at he chief expense of Original Thinker and Mister Sox.

With his good draw and ground conditions in his favour EY UP ITS JAZZ is fancied to get off the mark for the season.

16:20 Windsor Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

STONE CIRCLE was far from disgraced when he finished third at Yarmouth last month and he goes off the same mark here, which could make Michael Bell's gelding tough to beat. Snuggle was victorious over C&D on his latest outing and would be foolish to dismiss off 4lb higher, while Tiriac isn't out of it either after his third at Leicester.

LADY DREAMER has run well on both visits to this track (successful first occasion) and she shaped better than the result at Kempton on reappearance, so she's worth taking a chance on in an open race. Tiriac should go well with cheekpieces back on and recent C&D winner Snuggle can't be dismissed.

The vote goes to SERGEANT PEP, who ran well here three weeks ago and may be seen to even better effect on today's slower ground.

16:25 Warwick Handicap Chase (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

FISTON DE BECON scored in comfortable fashion to complete a double at Hereford last month and a 5lb rise for that victory looks lenient. With the Olly Murphy yard bang in form, he could prove very hard to beat, with his main threat possibly being Gitche Gumee, who sports first-time cheekpieces after his third at Doncaster off a 3lb higher mark in December. Of the remainder, Onewayortother makes the most appeal on his handicap/chase debut.

FISTON DE BECON appeals as the most solid option in his bid to bring up the hat-trick. In This World still rates as an interesting chase newcomer despite disappointing over hurdles last time, whilst point- winner Isholo du Vivien could do better now switched to chasing.

This can go to Olly Murphy's progressive chaser FISTON DE BECON, who forged clear when completing a double at Hereford.

16:30 Down Royal Conditions Chase 23f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

BALLYPHILIP has been in outstanding form between the flags in recent months and the son of Presenting merits the utmost respect in a race of this nature. Focus Point was out of his depth in the Aintree Foxhunters' but his previous point-to-point form gives him a solid chance here. Victor Tango and Bold Fury have both chased the selection home in recent months and are others to note, while Big Girl Betty and Drumnasoo complete the shortlist.

BALLYPHILLIP is 4 from 4 between the flags this year and seems the obvious way to go. Focus Point should be back on his game, so he's feared along with Big Girl Betty.

There are some improvers lurking and BALLYPHILIP hasn't been overly pressed to win his last four points.

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

16:35 Bath Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Fleurir shed her maiden tag at the sixth time of asking at Pontefract in July last year and, if she has improved over the winter, then she could get involved on her handicap bow. However, preference is for RING OF LIGHT, who made his return from a layoff to finish fifth at Windsor in this grade and he remains on the same mark. He recorded an all-weather hat-trick before that and, with that run under his belt, he could be ready to strike. On The Cards is another to consider.

FLEURIR didn't need to advance her form when getting off the mark at Pontefract last September and this looks a good opportunity for Roger Varian's 4-y-o to follow up starting her 2024 campaign. Second choice is Signcastle City, who offered something to work on at Chelmsford recently having fallen in the weights during the second half of last year, with Ring of Light rounding off the shortlist.

This can go to LUNATICK, who divided smart sorts on his reappearance last year, with Signcastle City the main danger.

16:40 Kempton Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow

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

Although Art Of Diplomacy won with ease in selling company at Wetherby in March, the eight-year-old returns to handicap company off a stiff-looking mark. With that in mind, it could be worth sticking with last-time-out Ascot scorer REDBRIDGE RAMBLER. A 7lb higher rating for Martin Keighley's gelding looks far from insurmountable and a double could be on the cards. Market support for handicap debutant Foxinthebox, who is returning from a 714-day absence, would bring him into calculations too.

REDBRIDGE RAMBLER came good on his first attempt around 3m at Ascot last time and might be able to cope with a 7 lb rise. Island Run arrives in reasonable form from chasing and is taken to repeat last year's second place in this. San Pedro completes the shortlist.

The 8yo GETALEAD hasn't had many chances over this far and it was an encouraging effort last time in a higher grade.

16:45 Curragh Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

C&D winner RACING ROYALTY should have every chance of adding to his win here last October. The Gillian Scott-trained five-year-old travelled well throughout that contest before keeping on strongly once challenged close home. The five-year-old should be all the better for a recent run at Leopardstown where he finished fifth. Secret Magician, who was ahead of Racing Royalty over 6f here last season, has every chance despite being slightly worse off at the revised weights. The Martin Hassett-trained gelding should be approaching peak fitness after two previous starts this term. El Bello, runner-up over this track and trip last month, is another who holds leading claims.

SUPERIOR FORCE has been given a bit of time since his below-par run here in March (found to be coughing post race) and might be worth another chance as his AW efforts prior to that had been promising. El Bello ran a blinder over C&D last month and is second choice ahead of Racing Royalty and the unexposed Come On The Lads.

This looks open but it may be worth taking a chance with C&D winner RACING ROYALTY who should be better for a Leopardstown run.

16:50 Beverley Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

SHE'S GOT BOTTLE went in by just under a length over a mile at Pontefract last week and she only has a 5lb penalty to carry, which is unlikely to be enough to prevent her from following up. The main threat might be Calcutta Dream, who was successful at Wolverhampton on his penultimate start and is only 2lb higher, while Distinction competes off his last winning mark and is another to note.

Little depth to a contest in which SHE'S GOT BOTTLE looks more than capable of defying the penalty acquired from last week's Pontefract success. Distinction was behind Calcutta Dream at Wolverhampton last time but benefits from a more favourable draw here and is narrowly preferred for second out of the pair.

The vote goes to SHE'S GOT BOTTLE, who posted a career-best performance last week. Second choice is Dougies Dream.

16:55 Windsor Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

THEWORLDSNOTENOUGH put her three underwhelming efforts in maiden company last year behind her when scoring by a short head over this track and trip last month. Tom Ward's filly could have more to offer on only her fifth career start and she may be the one to beat. Juan Solo wasn't beaten far into third at Kempton in January and he has to be considered off a 1lb lower mark on his return to turf, while Magnificent Match only found one too good when bidding for a Yarmouth double recently and holds an obvious chance.

CALM WATERS came clear of the remainder when second over C&D last week and can go one better off the same mark. Magnificent Match has done well in similar company at Yarmouth in recent weeks and is second choice ahead of last-time-out C&D scorer Theworldsnotenough. Soldier's Class is one of a few potential improvers in the line-up.

Last week's runner-up CALM WATERS is preferred to Theworldsnotenough, Magnificent Match and Interestnpenalties.

17:00 Warwick Handicap Chase (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

God's Own Getaway did what was required of him in this grade when scoring at Southwell last time and he is likely to be on the premises once again off a 6lb higher rating. However, he could come out second best to TRAPISTA, who may have been worth more for his victory than the winning margin suggests over 2m at Hereford last month and an 8lb rise might not be enough to halt him. The seven-year-old should have no issues with this longer trip and he looks the one to beat. Last-time-out winner American Gerry completes the shortlist.

Twice a winner over hurdles, DREAM IN THE PARK ran to a similar level on his third start over fences when fourth at Ascot in March, despite having met trouble, so he is taken to open his chase account with improvement to come. Trapista returned to winning ways on her latest outing and is feared most, ahead of American Gerry.

6yo GOD'S OWN GETAWAY won on his chase debut at Southwell last month and he gets the vote ahead of recent Taunton winner Trapista.

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

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

With virtually no form to go on, the betting market could prove the best guide here but a bold bid is expected from BOWENSONFIRE. Representing the powerful Gordon Elliott stable, he cost 88,000 euros as a three-year-old and he is a half-brother to a bumper winner. Others to seriously consider are Inoue, who cost 28,000 euros and is a half-brother to three French winners, and the Gavin Comwell-trained Tonaghneave Well, who is a half-brother to six winners. 35,000-euros purchase Kanpai is also respected.

BOWENSONFIRE represents a top yard and is related to a bumper winner, so he looks the way to go without the market to guide. Tonaghneave and Inoue also make plenty of appeal on paper.

A guessing game but POLEPATRICK represents respected connections and his half-brother won a bumper on debut a year ago

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

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

AMERIGO VESPUCCI got off the mark with a narrow victory in a similar event at Yarmouth a couple of weeks ago and the three-year-old merits the utmost respect off just a 3lb higher mark. Bramble Jelly showed plenty of promise when third at Windsor a week ago and she could prove to be the main threat to the selection, ahead of Meet Me In Meraki and Clear Justice.

Making his first start on turf for his current yard, AMERIGO VESPUCCI showed improved form in first-time cheekpieces when battling well for success at Yarmouth 13 days ago and he can score again now that he's up and running. Newfangled also took his form up a notch on his return and could be the main danger, ahead of Beach Point.

With the cheekpieces retained, AMERIGO VESPUCCI could well build on his Yarmouth win. Meet Me In Meraki is second choice.

17:15 Kempton Handicap Chase (Class 2) 18f Race Class Flow

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

EDITEUR DU GITE shouldn't be judged too harshly on his defeats in Grade 1 company at Cheltenham and Sandown this year, with this return to handicap company a huge positive. Moreover, the veteran clearly loves it at this venue, as evidenced by his Grade 2 Desert Orchid victories in 2022 and 2023. The Saddex gelding is taken to regain the winning thread, at the main expense of Calico, who lurks on an attractive mark, with recent C&D winner Onemorefortheroad completing the shortlist.

CALICO has edged back towards the mark from which hie was runner-up at Cheltenham in November, and having shaped well at Chepstow last time, gets the nod over the unexposed I'd Like To Know. Onemorefortheroad had the run of the race over C&D last time and rates as third pick.

The presence of EDITEUR DU GITE sees three of his rivals out of the handicap. He can stamp his class on this field.

17:20 Curragh Handicap 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

RATHBRANCHCHURCH ran slightly below par at Navan last time but on his previous fifth over this C&D, the Michael Mulvany-trained gelding has every chance. A high draw tends to prove advantageous on the sprint track here, so having bagged the plum rails stall, Wesley Joyce will be confident. Sevensees has to be of serious interest with Ben Coen taking over in the saddle. The Johnny Murtagh-trained four-year-old went close at Navan last month on just his second handicap run and there could be more to come. Universally is another who can get involved, with Colin Keane a notable booking for the grey sprinter.

PINAR DEL RIO was edged out late on here a fortnight ago and is clearly well treated if in the same sort of form. Veteran Downforce and Sevensees are among the dangers.

Navan form points to Loma Larnee and Sevensees but they may not cope with RATHBRANCHURCH, better judged on his seasonal debut

17:25 Beverley Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Patronage had Miss Galiway (seventh) behind when finishing a never-nearer fourth at Yarmouth on his latest outing and he is an interesting contender on his first attempt at this distance off 1lb lower. However, a chance can be taken on SPARTAN WARRIOR, who was well-held at Windsor last month but he was dropped 2lb for that effort and he now sports first-time cheekpieces. With Kevin Stott booked, he is worth another chance, while Pearl Sands could also get into contention in a weak contest.

In a finale where few arrive with obviously compelling claims the suggestion is PATRONAGE who was a bit better than the result over 1m at Yarmouth last time and might have more to come at this trip. Spartan Warrior may give him most to do if reacting well to the cheekpieces.

Preference is for PATRONAGE who won over 1m at Newcastle in March and was a fair fourth back on turf at Yarmouth last time.

17:30 Windsor Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

ON EDGE looks to have plenty in his favour here, with a high draw possibly advantageous and he made a promising seasonal debut when only beaten a neck here over a furlong further. He will need a career best to succeed off a 2lb higher mark, but still looks the form pick on recent effort. Bama Lama has won over 6f here twice, once off this mark, and the booking of Hollie Doyle catches the eye, but Willingly may be a bigger danger to the selection after her recent Leicester third.

ABOLISH looked unlucky when narrowly denied at Kempton last time and can gain compensation now. On Edge was a good second on his 6f course reappearance a fortnight ago and is second choice ahead of Willingly.

Few are solid but ON EDGE (nap) is a reliable sort who has winning form here. He should cope with the return to 5f and soft surface.

Jeudidee has a 100 per cent record here after winning a bumper last year and, with two wins from four starts over hurdles, he could get involved in the finish.

Out-gunned at Listed level in December, the return to handicap company may see her get back to winning ways after two victories at Uttoxeter and one at Taunton last autumn.

DAVIDOC opened his account in ready fashion at Plumpton last time and there should be even more to come, so he takes preference over Commanding View and King's Castle, who also arrive in good order.

Handicap debutant DAVIDOC (nap) is taken to build on his Plumpton success and follow up. Jeudidee is second choice.

17:45 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Andromedas Kingdom clearly sets the standard having won over this course and distance eight days ago, but a 5lb penalty for that victory will make life tougher for her. With that in mind, preference is for MOON OVER THE SEA, who was a close second off this mark at Wolverhampton last time and is a proven winner over this track and trip. Others to consider are James Park Woods and Sao Timothy.

After 6 months off, ANDROMEDAS KINGDOM made it 2 wins from her last 3 starts when successful at this C&D 8 days ago and a penalty might not be enough to prevent her from following up. Moon Over The Sea has been proving consistent this year and is feared most, while Sao Timothy could also be in the mix.

Recent C&D scorer ANDROMEDAS KINGDOM is now 2-3 in Class 6 events at about 1m. Moon Over The Sea has a solid chance.

Now has to prove himself worthy of this mark but still lightly raced.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

17:50 Kempton Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow

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

TARAHUMARA comes with risks attached having stopped quickly and eventually pulling up at Exeter in November. However, Emma Lavelle's gelding created a deep impression when making all at Warwick earlier that month and he could be worth chancing given his fantastic record when fresh. Playtogetaway had fellow rival Inoui Machin (third) behind when runner-up at Hereford last month. The pair are both potential improvers on this rise in distance and they are viable alternatives to the selection.

PLAYTOGETAWAY shaped well when runner-up at Hereford last time with Inoui Machin one place behind and the pair might well dominate this unless Tarahumara bounces back after a break.

The suggestion is a refreshed SAMI BEAR (nap), who has a good record here and he's receiving a stone and more from all his rivals.

A weak but competitive race that could see a bold effort from Daphne May, who has been out of sorts lately but she has won at this venue in the past and scored six times off higher marks. She can surprise a few but on recent form, DUBAI IMMO is more interesting. He ran on well to win an amateur jockeys' handicap at Chelmsford and has only been upped 5lb, which seems fair with improvement likely. High Court Judge and Dotties Star are others to consider in a wide-open contest.

TROJAN TRUTH tends to go well here and gets the vote in an ordinary handicap. Dubai Immo finally opened his account at Chelmsford and is still well treated after a 5 lb rise. Fullforward and High Court Judge are respected also.

Roscioli and DAPHNE MAY are fit from the AW and are well handicapped judged on turf form last year, including on soft.

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

Trainer Kayley Woollacott won this race in 2021 and 2022 and it will be interesting to see if Caspers Court comes in for any market support. He has won four times off higher marks and cannot be discounted, but HE IS A CRACKER could be the one to side with despite his long absence. An easy winner over fences in September, he is better handicapped over hurdles and has gone well fresh before, which may be all he needs. Just Jess is another to consider for the in-form Sue Smith stable.

Dan Skelton won a division of this race 12 months ago and STEAL MY SUNSHINE might be worth siding with to stage a revival back hurdling having dipped to his last successful mark. Kayley Woollacott also has a good recent record in this race and her Caspers Court is another who is well treated if bouncing back to form. Pride of Paris and Newtonian also make the shortlist in a wide-open finale.

This can go to HE IS A CRACKER, who won by 16l over fences last time and is only 3lb higher on this return to hurdling.

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.
