13:50 Brighton Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, Mick's Dream, 4/1 (6) MASTERCLASS, and 6/1 (7) JUPITER EXPRESS seem to be the top contenders. Mick's Dream has had a recent encouraging reappearance and was a 7f winner last summer. 4/1 (6) MASTERCLASS has ended last season in good form, and while he finished third in his last handicap, he has a lot left to offer over 7f this year. 6/1 (7) JUPITER EXPRESS has a good record on AW and remains unexposed over 7f on turf.

MASTERCLASS arrives in this following a decent third over 6f at Chelmsford last September and David Simcock's four-year-old should not be taken lightly after a break. A game winner over 6f at this track on his third-last outing, he can make a pleasing return to turf and should not be underestimated. Jupiter Express has been kept busy on the all-weather of late and enters calculations here, while the class-dropping Poetic Force completes the shortlist.

A few with chances but MICKS DREAM returned with an eye-catching fifth at Windsor and gets the nod off an unchanged mark at the chief expense of the handily-weighted Poetic Force, who is already a three-time winner in 2023. In-form Jupiter Express appeals as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.

The suggestion is MICKS DREAM, who made an encouraging seasonal debut over 1m and is well handicapped on some of last year's 7f form.

14:10 Nottingham Stakes (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, the Blue Point filly 1.63/1 (4) SNAFIYA and the Expert Eye filly 2.25/1 (5) TREASURE STORM seem to be the most promising newcomers, with 1.63/1 (4) SNAFIYA having a half-sister who was a 2-year-old winner and 2.25/1 (5) TREASURE STORM offering potential for improvement after her debut fourth. 3/1 (1) DEFYING ORDERS also has good breeding and could be one to watch on debut, while 9/1 (2) EXPONISTA and 10/1 (3) MADEMOISELLECANCAN have less impressive records so far.

TREASURE STORM showed some promise when filling fourth place on her debut at Musselburgh last month and that experience could prove to be vital here. Snafiya is a half-sister to the useful juvenile Apricot Twist and the 80,000gns purchase has to be of interest on debut. All of the remainder make some appeal but Defying Orders is arguably the pick of them.

The market should prove useful with 4 of the 5 making their debuts but without the benefit of those clues it could be worth siding with SNAFIYA. She makes plenty of appeal for a yard adept at readying a newcomer and the booking of William Buick rates an obvious positive. Treasure Storm, the sole runner with experience, heads the dangers.

Preference is for the newcomer DEFYING ORDERS, whose trainer Archie Watson has made an excellent start with his 2yos.

14:20 Brighton Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary provided, 2/1 (6) STEVEN SEAGULL and the lightly-raced maiden who posted much his best effort after 7 months off (also gelded) have better chances to do well in their upcoming races. 4.5/1 (2) DUVEEN and 5/1 (1) CHARLOTTE SQUARE also hold some potential, while 6/1 (3) SISTER OF THOR, 7/1 (4) DOVENA, 7/1 (5) QUEEN OF STEEL, and 11/1 (7) VITANI may need to show more improvement to be competitive.

STEVEN SEAGULL showed plenty of promise when finishing half a length behind the winner in second on his return to action over an extended 1m5f at Chelmsford last month. He retains the mark from that run and is taken to get off the mark at the fifth time of asking. Charlotte Square makes her handicap debut off top weight but should not be taken lightly for powerful connections, while Vitani completes the shortlist.

Most of these arrive with a question mark against them so this looks a good opportunity for STEVEN SEAGULL to build on his Chelmsford City second and gain a first success off an unchanged mark. Andrew Balding's Charlotte Square could emerge as the chief threat on her handicap debut ahead of turf debutante Duveen.

A low-grade handicap. It's possible that SISTER OF THOR can take a step forward over this more suitable trip (on pedigree) to score.

14:30 Yarmouth Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

4/1 (8) ELJAYTEE seems like a strong contender as they had a breakthrough success over the same course and distance in heavy conditions in their most recent race, with their form being confirmed by subsequent performances.

ELJAYTEE got off the mark on his return to action over C&D last month and a 3lb rise may not be enough to stop him from backing that up on this occasion. Miss Harmony scored at Lingfield on her penultimate start and is capable of bouncing back from her latest effort at Chelmsford, while others worth noting include Solanna and Habanero Star.

ELJAYTEE saw off a subsequent winner when opening his account on his return here recently and can strike again if in the same sort of form up just 3 lb. Habanero Star goes well at Yarmouth and has to be respected. Solanna is another to note under Oisin Murphy.

John Berry's ELJAYTEE (nap) returned an improved model when scoring over C&D and can defy a 3lb rise with that form having been franked

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

It is difficult to predict with certainty, but Massaat colt and 4.5/1 (1) MASO BASTIE seem to have a good chance based on their past performances and potential for improvement. 5/1 (2) CITY CYCLONE and 7/1 (4) ARTISAND are also considered as contenders. 25/1 (6) THAWG is a newcomer worth keeping an eye on.

Maso Bastie got off the mark over a mile at Lingfield in December and he has to be respected, although the son of Churchill may struggle to give 9lb to TEMPERED SOUL. George Boughey's colt caught the eye on his debut at Kempton in March and is fully entitled to improve significantly for that outing. Others to note are Artisand and City Cyclone.

MASO BASTIE looked a good prospect when overcoming inexperience to score at Lingfield in December and James Fanshawe's son of Churchill appeals as the sort to go on improving so gets the nod at the chief expense of Artisand, who wasn't seen to best effect when fifth at Lingfield on his return. City Cyclone and Tempered Soul can both have a say too in an open contest.

A chance is taken on GOING TO THE MOON, who showed promise here on his debut and reappears having been gelded.

14:50 Brighton Handicap (Class 6) 12f 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, some horses to consider for potential success include 2.5/1 (2) SEATTLE KING, Cosily, Cliffs of Malta, 4.5/1 (3) JUNOESQUE, and 14/1 (8) URBAN FOREST. 2.5/1 (2) SEATTLE KING has finished well and may perform well over 1m4f. Cosily won a 13-runner handicap at the same course and has been nudged up slightly in weight, indicating potential for success. Cliffs of Malta has placed in AW classified races and had a creditable second place finish in a minor event. 4.5/1 (3) JUNOESQUE is a front-runner and has performed well recently. 14/1 (8) URBAN FOREST has had two respectable runs at this course and is better suited to 1m4f. However, further research and analysis would be needed to make a more informed prediction.

It is hard to look past SEATTLE KING, who arrives in this following a comfortable win over 1m2f at this track last month. He is now rated 2lb higher for that success but that looks unlikely to stop him securing a double here. Junoesque finished behind the selection in fifth last time out and she is 4lb worse off off with that rival here with 7lb claimer Kaiya Fraser replaced by John Gallagher, while Cliffs Of Malta also warrants a market check.

SEATTLE KING got back to winning ways under a patient ride here last time and can defy a 2 lb rise in the weights given he had a bit in hand there. 8-time course winner Junoesque arrives in good order and is next on the list ahead of Southwell-second Cliffs of Malta.

Multiple course winner JUNOESQUE ran quite well behind Seattle King on her recent seasonal debut and may turn the tables.

3/1 (2) BUNKER BAY seems like the strongest contender based on their consistent record of finishing in the top three, good recent form, and potential for improvement with the addition of a hood. 3.33/1 (4) YORKINDNESS and Keen-going sort also have potential to perform well.

BUNKER BAY proved to be consistent once switched to handicap company, finishing second on three occasions, and the first-time hood could make the difference required for him to shed the maiden tag. Sarkha wasn't disgraced when making his handicap bow at Wolverhampton last month and he is capable of stepping forward, while Yorkindness's second at Beverley gives her every chance to be in the mix.

YORKINDNESS returned with a good effort at Beverley and can build on that with victory. Bunker Bay and Placated both make their seasonal comebacks and should be winning this term.

A chance is taken on SARKHA, who got messed about in a muddling race when better was expected of him on his handicap debut.

15:10 Nottingham Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to predict which horse will do well based solely on this summary as each horse has its own potential and past performance. However, some horses to consider based on their recent performances and potential include 5.5/1 (11) CREME CHANTILLY, 6.5/1 (12) FLAME OF KODIAC, 7/1 (7) ZARGA, 12/1 (5) NUTHATCH, and 14/1 (1) DOUBLE O. These horses have either won recently or have shown promise in their past performances. It is important to also consider other factors such as the weather and track conditions and the jockey's performance.

In a wide-open event marginal preference is for MEXICALI ROSE, who put in a career-best performance at Leicester last month and an opening mark of 75 may underestimate her ability. Flame Of Kodiac made a winning handicap debut in March and she cannot be discounted. The unexposed Creme Chantilly looks to have a bright future, while Zarga and Star Child also make the shortlist.

MEXICALI ROSE arrives fit from a good reappearance run at Leicester and gets the nod to make a successful handicap debut for Ralph Beckett. Creme Chantilly is another who could have more to offer now switching to handicap company and heads the dangers along with Flame of Kodiac and last-time-out C&D scorer Molly Valentine.

Chelmsford winner CREME CHANTILLY has potential off her opening mark judged on her attractive pedigree.

15:20 Brighton Handicap (Class 3) 10f Race Class Flow

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

3/1 (8) MAID IN KENTUCKY seems to be the most promising based on the summary, having won a minor event at Lingfield and making her handicap debut off an attractive mark, making her the one to beat. 28/1 (4) RIKONA also has a good record on the all-weather and is firmly in the picture, but Maiden In Kentucky has the advantage of a recent win and being up in trip.

Sir Michael Stoute has only sent five runners to this venue in the last five years and this contest may well go the way of his CRYSTAL ESTRELLA, who makes her seasonal reappearance. The daughter of Iffraaj shed the maiden tag in emphatic style on her penultimate outing, pulling four lengths clear of her next best rival at Goodwood, and the four-year-old can record a second career victory. Three Priests rates the most immediate danger having found only one rival too strong at Newcastle last time out, while Wisper is a consistent customer and completes the shortlist.

George Boughey's progressive filly MAID IN KENTUCKY looks to have been let in very lightly for her handicap bow so is fancied to complete her hat-trick. Roger Varian's Three Priests shaped well when second at Newcastle and is feared most ahead of handicap-debutante Orange Martini who also looks to have better days ahead of her.

Top of the list is RICH (nap), who held her own in a good-quality AW conditions race on her seasonal debut and still has potential.

15:30 Yarmouth Maiden (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, some horses that could do well are 1.75/1 (11) WILD SIDE, 3.5/1 (10) TAJALAT, 6.5/1 (3) HAKUNA BABE, 7.5/1 (1) AYYAB, 12/1 (6) MORNING COLOURS, and 20/1 (4) ITHRA. However, without more information about the race and the track, it is difficult to make a confident prediction.

WILD SIDE took a decent step forward from her juvenile efforts when second at Pontefract last Monday and the daughter of Kodiac boasts strong credentials to go one better, especially with Oisin Murphy booked for the ride. Tajalat is likely to prove popular on her racecourse bow, with her half-sister being a winner on debut, while Morning Colours, a half-sister to Listed winner Eirene, and Ayyab appeal most of the remainder.

WILD SIDE led pretty much everywhere bar the line on her comeback at Pontefract last week and that was much better from her, so she's taken to open her account now. Tajalat is a likely-looking newcomer for Roger Varian, as is Ayyab for Seb Woods.

Roger Varian's Showcasing newcomer TAJALAT brings plenty of potential and she gets the verdict at the chief expense of Wild Side

15:40 Nottingham Handicap (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 1.5/1 (3) KINGMANIA and 3.5/1 (5) CANOODLED seem to be the most promising horses. 1.5/1 (3) KINGMANIA won on their last stable debut and has solid claims up 3lb, and looked as good as ever on debut for a new yard. 3.5/1 (5) CANOODLED had a career best when winning a 16-runner handicap in October and returns with conditions in her favour. However, 7/1 (6) GOLDEN MELODY could also be a player as she won in testing conditions over the same trip and posted a solid reappearance at Doncaster last month, despite a recent excusable effort. 8/1 (1) SLY MADAM also has potential as she bounced back to form when taking a handicap at Windsor last month. 14/1 (2) FARHH TO SHY seems to be the least promising based on recent form.

James Ferguson has his string in excellent form and KINGMANIA makes plenty of appeal following her stable debut success at Southwell. She benefited from the application of a hood and a 3lb rise may well underestimate her as she attempts to back that victory up. Belhaven is likely to step forward after finishing last at Redcar on her return from a break, while the drop back to a mile is in Sly Madam's favour after the mare pulled too hard when stepped up in trip under a 5lb penalty at Brighton.

KINGMANIA came from a unpromising position when scoring on stable debut at Southwell last month and looks leniently treated. She is fancied to follow up. Canoodled goes well on this sort of ground and is feared most.

A line can be put through the reappearance performance of BELHAVEN, and she is taken to add to the three wins she posted last year.

0.73/1 (5) SPARTAN ARROW is predicted to do well based on the summary.

In this competitive contest it may pay dividends to side with the unexposed SPARTAN ARROW, who gave a good account when runner-up at Wolverhampton last time. The son of Sioux Nation cost 380,000gns as a two-year-old and was only denied by a neck on that occasion. The form of that contest has been advertised handsomely and the half-brother to Twilight Gleaming can get off the mark now dropping back in trip. Estate was highly tried last term and must be respected stepping into calmer waters, while Jacquelina can follow them home.

This can go to SPARTAN ARROW, who failed only narrowly to open his account at Wolverhampton in September and promises to offer more this term. Estate looks the obvious danger.

Spartan Arrow is a big danger but ESTATE did very well to be beaten under 2l on his nursery debut and is just preferred.

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

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well based on this summary, as each one has their own strengths and weaknesses. However, based on recent form and positive changes, 1.88/1 (7) GRAND LIBYA and 4.5/1 (5) DASHING DICK may be worth considering as potential contenders. 1.88/1 (7) GRAND LIBYA has performed well in two 1m handicaps on the Newcastle AW and has shown improvement with the use of a visor. 4.5/1 (5) DASHING DICK has a consistent run of form in 7f/1m Polytrack handicaps and may rebound from a poor performance in heavy conditions with a return to better conditions.

REGAL RAMBLER could be worth siding with on his turf and handicap debut following a below-par run at Chelmsford over 1m2f in January. A mark of 73 looks workable for the gelded son of Dark Angel and there is likely to be more in his locker. Grand Libya has been consistent of late and remains of interest on his return to turf, while Siam Fox could also bounce back from his most recent run on the all-weather.

Cases can be made for most but GRAND LIBYA has taken his form up a level since fitted with headgear and having been gelded since last seen, Tom Clover's charge gets the tentative nod to open his account. The main threat could be Dandy Maestro, who came good around this time last year and ran respectably after 4 months off at Kempton recently. Regal Rambler can fill out third spot.

William Stone's DASHING DICK was running well before getting stuck in the mud at Leicester and he's taken to win for a third time.

16:10 Nottingham Listed (Class 1) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 1.63/1 (1) GOLDEN LYRA and 4/1 (3) CRYSTAL CAPRICE seem to be the strongest contenders, with 1.63/1 (1) GOLDEN LYRA having a penalty but holding leading form claims and 4/1 (3) CRYSTAL CAPRICE being a well-bred horse that the stable excels with. 7.5/1 (6) MISTY DANCER and 9/1 (10) SUNSET SHIRAZ also have each-way chances, while the other horses seem to have some weaknesses or need to improve significantly to compete at this level.

Softer conditions appeared to hold the key to GOLDEN LYRA's improvement when running out a comfortable winner of a Listed contest at Saint-Cloud in October, after a disappointing effort at York's Ebor meeting. The daughter of Lope De Vega has to give 3lb to her rivals but, with the ground very much in her favour, the four-year-old is capable of further improvement on just her sixth career outing. Crystal Caprice had excuses on her final outing when losing her action at Lingfield and she remains with a fair amount of potential, especially for stepping up in trip, while Mukaddamah and One For Bobby appear best of the remainder.

Sir Michael Stoute saddled the winner of this last year and CRYSTAL CAPRICE could be another for the yard. You can draw a line through her effort on the all-weather in October, prior to which she looked most progressive and hopes are high that she will kick on again this season now moving up in trip (untried beyond 1m but pedigree augurs well stamina-wise). Golden Lyra rates the main danger, while Sunset Shiraz, who looks the pick of the Irish raiders, is third choice ahead of Life of Dreams.

The lightly raced 4yo CRYSTAL CAPRICE is from a family Sir Michael Stoute has excelled with and she can make a winning return.

The others are less convincing.

RHUBARB BIKINI won a similar event over C&D last month and could be hard to beat based on that evidence, especially as he may improve for the application of first-time blinkers. Letter Of The Law chased home the selection on that occasion and may do so once again, while Somedayonedaynever edges out Okaidi and Ower Starlight to be the pick of the remainder.

SOMEDAYONEDAYNEVER was only narrowly denied her first success at Wolverhampton last time and remains fairly treated. She can make the breakthrough here. Rhubarb Bikini and Letter of The Law look the likeliest dangers.

Richard Hannon's OWER STARLIGHT switches back to turf after a pretty good AW campaign and is given the verdict.

The others may need more experience and time to develop.

Runner-up on both career starts, UMBERTO can have a big say in proceedings based on what he has shown to date. He is entitled to be sharper for his return to action at Lingfield in March, although a first-time hood could see Tajdif build on a fair fourth at Newcastle on debut and he can give the selection plenty to think about. Newcomers Embesto and Story Of Peace are others worthy of a market check.

Preference is for COVERT LEGEND, who met plenty of trouble in running when an encouraging fourth on debut at Kempton last month. He should have learnt plenty from that. Umberto and Serengeti Sunset are also open to improvement and may provide the chief threat in what promises to be an informative contest.

A dangerous betting race with a lot of these open to improvement. UMBERTO just about sets the standard and he can improve some more.

It is difficult to predict with complete certainty which horse will perform the best based on this summary, as each has their own strengths and weaknesses. However, 2/1 (3) MUTAANY Form of Brighton seems to have a solid record and potential for improvement after being gelded, making him a strong contender as a 3-y-o sprint handicapper to follow. 4.5/1 (2) WEN MOON also has potential for improvement after being gelded and recently winning a 6f Pontefract handicap in the mud. 12/1 (6) MAGGIE'S TERN has a promising jockey and a potential for a bold show after taking a break. 14/1 (1) THUNDERBEAR has a good track record on good ground and could be interesting if he can control the race. 4/1 (7) OPEN MARKET and 4/1 (5) FOX MASTER have had some success but may need to show improvement to compete against the other contenders. 22/1 (4) IBIZA LOVE is a wildcard as a new addition to the stable and may not be as appealing as the other horses.

This represents a drop in class for Wen Moon, who scored over this trip at Pontefract off 3lb lower on his most recent outing. He can have a big say in proceedings here, but FOX MASTER is entitled to improve following a fair fifth at Newcastle on his latest run in February. He is well related and could make his presence felt on his turf debut. Open Market was only narrowly denied at Yarmouth last month and should not be taken lightly, while Mutaany has been gelded for his reappearance and adds further spice to the race.

MUTAANY hails from a good Shadwell line and looks a 3-y-o sprinter to keep on side having won well at Brighton when last seen. He can make a successful return/handicap debut for a yard who have had plenty go well first time back in recent weeks. Open Market went close at Yarmouth and is respected off the same mark. Pontefract-winner Wen Moon is also considered.

Well-bred MUTAANY (nap) could be on a good mark even before factoring in the possibility of improvement on this first run since gelded.

2.5/1 (10) LUCID DREAMS Late starter and 8/1 (13) MEN OF DREAMS are the two most promising horses based on their recent performances and potential to improve. 12/1 (1) EMERIC is also worth considering as a progressive AW performer making his hurdles debut. The others have either shown little promise or have too much to prove to be considered strong contenders.

LAELAPS will need to settle better than on his hurdling debut at Naas in February but has a leading chance if doing so. The Andrew McNamara-trained gelding boasts some smart form on the level, having attained a triple digit handicap mark at one stage. He showed enough on his initial outing over flights to suggest he can be a force in this company. Lucid Dreams shaped well on his racecourse debut at Fakenham in March but was slightly disappointing at this track last time. The eight-year-old reverts to hurdles now having run in a bumper most recently. Trainer John Ryan is always a man to respect at this particular venue. Men Of Dreams took a major step forward when third on his hurdling debut at Kilbeggan last month. A reproduction of that effort would see the Johnny Levins-trained gelding play a leading role.

The market can reveal plenty but LUCID DREAMS has shown enough when second on her hurdling bow and when a recent bumper third here to suggest she can open her account. Kilbeggan-third Men of Dreams and hurdling-newcomer Emeric could emerge as the chief threats to the selection in a very open contest.

Back on better ground it may pay to keep the faith with STAR HARBOUR, whose Leopardstown third looks just about the best form on offer

For 2nd place, 14/1 (2) MCQUEEN and 6.5/1 (7) MINHAAJ are both consistent performers with recent good runs, so they could potentially finish in the top three. For 3rd place, 6/1 (5) AUTUMN FLIGHT has shown good form on both turf and AW and could be a strong contender.

AUTUMN FLIGHT was only beaten a length into third off this mark over 5f at Yarmouth a week ago and the step back up in trip should only help his chances here. Madrinho made the frame over 7f at this venue recently and he could prove to be the main threat to the selection, ahead of No Speed Limit and Rainbow Sign.

The ex-Irish NO SPEED LIMIT made an encouraging start for George Baker when fifth at Kempton after a lay-off and can build on it here at the chief expense of the handily-weighted McQueen. Lingfield-third Rainbow Sign and the returning Hagia Sophia also need factoring into a very open handicap.

The one with some potential is HAVEAGOBEAU, who was unlucky not to finish a bit closer to the target when fourth on his handicap debut.

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will perform well based solely on this summary, but 2/1 (5) SILKS GRAPHITE and 3/1 (1) GHOST LIGHTS both have promising recent form and potential for improvement. 4/1 (6) STARNIGHT also has some potential and may do well in her first outing on these shores. 7/1 (2) RIVER NAVER and 8.5/1 (4) INSOLENTE have less promising recent form and may struggle to perform well.

A fairly weak contest in which preference is for SILKS GRAPHITE. Runner-up over this trip at Yarmouth last month, the gelded son of Brazen Beau is fancied to break his duck at the sixth time of asking. Ghost Lights finished a fair fourth at Lingfield in March and is interesting on his turf debut, while River Naver completes the shortlist for powerful connections.

SILKS GRAPHITE took his form up a notch when runner-up at Yarmouth last month and with a fully-fledged rider back on board, Darryll Holland's charge is fancied to open his account. Ghost Lights is put forward as the main threat on turf debut for the in-form Charles Hills, with Irish-raider Starnight rounding off the shortlist.

At least SILKS GRAPHITE has shown he can handle soft ground and his latest Yarmouth run was his best yet. Ghost Lights is next best.

17:18 Ballinrobe Maiden Hurdle 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The prediction is that 0.53/1 (5) BANNTOWN GIRL will do well, as she has had recent success and is considered the favorite. 3/1 (6) CONYERS HILL also shows promise and should progress, but 0.53/1 (5) BANNTOWN GIRL is considered the one to beat. The other horses have either not shown much ability or are newcomers without much to judge them on.

Given her excellent form over hurdles in seven starts to date, it is hard to believe that BANNTOWN GIRL is still a maiden in this discipline. The Sonny Carey-trained mare, who has been placed at Listed level, finished third in a Grade B handicap hurdle at the Dublin Racing Festival and was second to a subsequent Punchestown winner last time. It will be a surprise if she can't get her head in front here. Conyers Hill has finished third on his first two starts for present connections so has to enter calculations. He will need to improve in order to beat Banntown Girl but the five-year-old hasn't been with Paul Nolan all that long. Marciano made a satisfactory racecourse debut when fifth behind Conyers Hill at Clonmel but has more scope for improvement than the O'Grady horse.

BANNTOWN GIRL let favourite backers down here last time but has the best form and gets one more chance. Conyers Hill is shaping up nicely and can give the selection most to do ahead of Marciano, who showed promise when fifth on last month's Clonmel debut.

Second in a similar mares' event last month to a subsequent Punchestown festival winner, BANNTOWN GIRL can go one better here

17:30 Yarmouth Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 1.88/1 (3) TASKHEER and 4/1 (1) BROXI seem to be the strongest contenders. 1.88/1 (3) TASKHEER has been performing well recently with 2 wins from 4 runs this year and a good fourth place finish in a recent handicap race. 4/1 (1) BROXI has previously completed a hat-trick at this distance and is only 1 lb above his last winning mark. 4.5/1 (4) LUNA QUEEN and 6.5/1 (5) SPANISH MANE also have potential but may not be as strong as 1.88/1 (3) TASKHEER and 4/1 (1) BROXI. The other horses seem to be less convincing choices for a potential winner.

Taskheer has landed the spoils on two of his last three outings and the son of Golden Horn is a big player. That said, all of his three career victories have come over further than this and it may be best to side with BROXI. The handicapper has continued to loosen their grip on the C&D winner and he may be able to bounce back from a lacklustre effort at Windsor now stepping into calmer waters. Spanish Mane posted a respectable effort when fifth at this venue last month and she completes the shortlist.

BROXI is on a workable mark and will be suited by the return to this shorter trip. He gets the nod in the finale. Taskheer and Luna Queen look the likeliest dangers.

In his current form TASKHEER appeals as the most likely winner, even though he's perhaps better at 1m.

17:40 Wolverhampton 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, 3/1 (3) ROCKLEY POINT and 4/1 (5) WE'RE REUNITED seem to have the strongest chances of winning the race. 3/1 (3) ROCKLEY POINT has two wins on Tapeta this season and a very close second over C&D in its latest race, while 4/1 (5) WE'RE REUNITED has proven form over C&D and is weighted to reverse placings with 3/1 (3) ROCKLEY POINT. 5/1 (6) BANKRUPT and 11/1 (2) PANDEMIC PRINCESS also have competitive form and could be considered as contenders. The other horses are either out of form or still unproven and would need to improve significantly to win.

ROCKLEY POINT (second) and We're Reunited (third) were only be separated by a neck when the pair met over course and distance in March. The former has subsequently gone even closer when beaten a short heard at this venue and the consistent 10-year-old gets the tentative vote to record a 10th victory on his 114th career start. The latter must be respected with a 3lb swing in his favour, while Bankrupt can also have his say.

ROCKLEY POINT arrives in good nick and can gain compensation for his near miss over C&D last month. We're Reunited was a good third on his C&D reapperance and is second choice ahead of Bankrupt.

We're Reunited and Rockley Point are solid but PANDEMIC PRINCESS has hinted of late that a revival could be on the cards.

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

Based on the summary, McGrath From Clune and 6.5/1 (12) TAKE MY HAND are the most likely contenders, with 7/1 (5) HARD RAIN and 7.5/1 (4) BALLINLOUGH GALE also having strong claims. 10/1 (2) CAN'T STOP SMILING is a promising sort to consider on handicap debut, while 20/1 (10) PEACE PARTY has a good record around here and could make an impact. The reserves, 25/1 (11) PRESENTING LAD, 33/1 (18) FORGE ROAD, and 50/1 (16) OSKAR HIGH, are unlikely to pose a serious threat to the top runners.

RUN LIKE FADA could be primed for this contest having finished a close up third in the corresponding race last season. Although the Eoin McCarthy-trained gelding failed to win in four subsequent outings, he did run well when second on his next start. Perhaps, he is one who is best caught fresh. McGrath From Clune seems sure to go well, having finished runner-up at Cork last time. Shane Fenelon renews the partnership on this occasion and that has to be a huge positive in a race of this nature. Can't Stop Smiling caught the eye here in a maiden hurdle last August and should be sharper now having had an outing at Naas in March. If the Aidan Howard-trained mare isn't let down by inexperience, then she is a serious threat to all.

This can go to MCGRATH FROM CLUNE, who took his form up a notch when runner-up at Cork last month and still looks on a handy mark. Can't Stop Smiling and Take My Hand should also go well.

An open handicap in which TAKE MY HAND gets the nod ahead of McGrath From Clune on account of her proven ability on the ground

18:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the information provided, it seems that 2.75/1 (6) BRISTOL HILL and 2.75/1 (1) APPIER are the strongest contenders for the race. 2.75/1 (6) BRISTOL HILL has won at the course and distance before and is in good form with two wins in his last three starts. 2.75/1 (1) APPIER has also won at the course and distance and has had five wins in 2022, including one at the course off a lower mark. He also had a creditable third-place finish in his most recent race despite having to pick his way through the field. 3/1 (4) WOLF OF OXSHOTT and 3.5/1 (2) CITIZEN GENERAL may also have a chance if they can improve on their most recent performances. The other three horses, 10/1 (5) HEATHERDOWN HERO, 18/1 (3) GOLD ARCH, and Temperamental sort may not be as strong contenders based on their recent form.

APPIER ran with a fair amount of credit when third on his return from a break at Pontefract and the four-year-old, a C&D winner in September off a 3lb lower mark, may have further improvement to come. Wolf Of Oxshott commands plenty of respect based on his head second at Wolverhampton last month, while Bristol Hill arrives in excellent form having won two of his last three outings.

BRISTOL HILL has been in fine form operating from his much-reduced mark in recent weeks, making it 2 wins from his last 3 starts at Wolverhampton 17 days ago and he holds sound claims of coming out on top again. Pontefract eye-catcher Appier and Wolf of Oxshott are others to consider.

In a tricky race that could become tactical, the progressive C&D winner APPIER is taken to beat Wolf Of Oxshott.

18:10 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, it is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well. However, some horses with good chances are 4/1 (8) ANOTHER ANGEL, 5.5/1 (2) BUNGLE BAY, 6.5/1 (5) CATESBY, and 8/1 (6) COAST, as they have won over the C&D track and have performed consistently in recent races. 8.5/1 (1) COME ON GIRL and 12/1 (3) Q TWENTY BOY are also capable of performing well, but have not won in a while. Horses like 5/1 (7) FAIR AND SQUARE, 18/1 (4) YAAHOBBY, 18/1 (12) HARD SOLUTION, and 40/1 (10) GHARBEYIH have shown inconsistent form and may have a lower chance of winning. Ultimately, it depends on the specific conditions of the race and the performance of the horses on the day.

Despite finding plenty of trouble in running, Fair And Square gave a good account when travelling powerfully to finish third at Lingfield last time out. The four-year-old demands the utmost respect, but he has questions to answer stepping up in trip. With that in mind, preference goes to ANOTHER ANGEL, who has been steadily improving on his last three runs over course and distance. The son of Dark Angel was only denied from recording successive wins by an unexposed rival and he can go one better in this contest. Jumira Bridge completes the shortlist.

COAST will be suited by the return to 6f and is back on her last winning mark so she gets the vote. Another Angel can extend her run of good C&D efforts and fill the forecast spot ahead of Come On Girl, who tends to be a force when her mark gets down into the 50s.

Another Angel should go well again but CATESBY has a good record here and the luck was against him last week.

18:18 Ballinrobe Maiden Hurdle 21f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary, the horse with the best chance of performing well would be 2/1 (13) SHOWURAPPRECIATION. This is because it has shown improved form in its last race, and is significantly up in trip which should suit its style of running. The other horses either have inconsistent form, are unproven in this distance, or have shown little promise in their past races.

SHOWURAPPRECIATION who was well punted when a staying on third at Gowran Park in March should enjoy the step up in trip here. The Jonathan Sweeney-trained gelding seemed to find the minimum trip too sharp on that occasion but stuck to his task well in the straight. Although this sharper track may not play to his strengths, his ability might see him home in front. Friends N Commerce has been a consistent sort in both maiden and handicaps of late although he is surely vulnerable off a rating of 111. Having said that, he seems adaptable tripwise and shouldn't have any issues with this track. San Martino has been gradually getting his act together over flights so it would be no surprise to see this one-time smart Flat horse take a hand in the finish.

This step up in trip is likely to unlock improvement in SHOWURAPPRECIATION, who was doing his best work at the finish when third in a big-field over 2m at Gowran last time. He is marginally preferred to Friends N Commerce, who deserves to pick up a race and is likely to make a bold bid to shed his maiden tag here. Easy Fella is best of the rest, though Trackman Tommy is also worth a second look.

FRIENDS N COMMERCE has run to his mark in handicaps of late and was 3.25l ahead of Easy Fella in a Limerick maiden the time before.

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

Based on the information provided in the summary, 6.5/1 (1) LORD TORRANAGA and 5/1 (7) OSCAR DOODLE appear to be the most promising options for success in the upcoming race. 6.5/1 (1) LORD TORRANAGA returns to the favorable surface of the all-weather track and is well handicapped, while 5/1 (7) OSCAR DOODLE has a previous win over the course and distance and could bounce back from a poor performance. However, it is important to note that any predictions are subject to factors such as track and weather conditions, jockey performance, and unforeseen circumstances during the race.

A line can be put through WE STILL BELIEVE's latest effort here due to him finishing lame and the five-year-old is better judged on his C&D success the time before. A return to that kind of form may see him bounce back in a contest lacking depth on paper. Oscar Doodle arrives with something to prove after a below-par display at this track in January, but the four-year-old has been freshened up since and may enter calculations along with Coconut Bay, who is of interest back on the all-weather.

WE STILL BELIEVE opened his account for the year over C&D in March, and with his latest effort easily excused (finished lame), Daragh Bourke's charge is fancied to regain the winning thread. Oscar Doodle needs to put a below-par effort behind him, but he may emerge as the main danger after a break, with Lord Torranaga rounding off the shortlist.

Dual course winner OSCAR DOODLE is taken to bounce back after a break. Coconut Bay is next best.

1.88/1 (7) PEONY Solid is predicted to do well in this race.

PEONY displayed plenty of promising signs when keeping on for second at Kempton last time out and the daughter of Churchill can shed the maiden tag at the third time of asking. There are plenty of potential dangers, though, including the most experienced runner in the field, Annie Maher, who has placed on four of her five outings. My Turn Now was by no means disgraced when fifth over course and distance last time and she may be able to take a step forward.

PEONY is the pick on form and might be able to get off the mark at the fourth time asking. Harriet's Angel showed promise amidst greenness on her debut and should be wiser now. Reminder and Howyoulikemenow are newcomers to monitor closely in the betting.

Annie Maher can go well once more but PEONY has shown more than enough to think she could win a similar event.

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

Based on the summary, 11/1 (12) BUGSCUFFLE and 11/1 (7) MAGNETIC NORTH seem like strong contenders as they have shown recent ability in handicap hurdles and are not out of it. 4.5/1 (3) EVERYSTEP OFTHEWAY and 8.5/1 (9) COSMO RENFRO also have potential, with 4.5/1 (3) EVERYSTEP OFTHEWAY placing third in a recent handicap hurdle and 8.5/1 (9) COSMO RENFRO having a decent run on their handicap debut. It will be interesting to see if the money comes in for 4/1 (5) GETAWAY TRAIN again, but their recent showing of mucus at the nostrils post-race could be a cause for concern. The other horses are either reserves or have not shown recent form that suggests they will do well in this race.

A wide-open contest, with point-to-point winner GETAWAY TRAIN given the chance to redeem himself. The subject of a gamble at Clonmel in February, he failed to fire there and was later reported to have mucus in his nostrils post-race. A case can be made for many others with Everystep Oftheway likely to prove a popular choice. A fine third of 23 at Naas on his most recent start, he is fitted with cheekpieces for the first time now. Chelseas Friend has a course win to her name and can make her presence felt, while first reserve Glenmalure Lodge would be a threat to all if getting a run. A five-time winner on the level, Magnetic North is an interesting contender on what will be his handicap debut over flights. Will It Be You is trained by the shrewd Liam Cusack and is out of a half-sister to Grade 1 winner Nil Desperandum. The Court Cave gelding is surely better than what he has shown to date, and it'll come as little surprise if he attracts support in the market.

HANOI JANE has races in her for sure and looks the way to go after another eye-catching effort at Limerick. Everystep Oftheway and Bugscuffle are feared most.

HANOI JANE was a disappointing favourite on soft at Limerick last time but could leave that behind on this better ground.

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

Based on the summary, 1.63/1 (2) INQUIRING MINDS and 1.38/1 (3) LASER GUIDED are the most likely contenders for doing well. 1.63/1 (2) INQUIRING MINDS is a newcomer with lots of potential based on its breeding, while 1.38/1 (3) LASER GUIDED has already had a promising performance over a similar distance at the same course. The other entries, 3.33/1 (1) BOLDLY and 80/1 (4) SEA GIRT, are also newcomers but are less favored based on the preferences of their jockeys and their breeding. 80/1 (5) EVA ROSIE, on the other hand, has shown modest efforts and may be better suited for handicaps.

John and Thady Gosden saddle two interesting newcomers in Boldly, a full-brother to Our Anchorage who placed in a Group 3 as a juvenile for Aidan O'Brien, and Inquiring Minds, whose dam was a Group 3 winner over 1m6f. Preference of the pair goes to the latter, but the experience of LASER GUIDED's two outings to date, along with the application of a tongue-tie, may be enough for him to get off the mark at the third attempt. He wasn't disgraced in finishing sixth on debut to a potential Group performer in Like A Tiger at Kempton and shaped as though a step up in trip would aid his cause when runner-up here in January.

Newcomer INQUIRING MINDS ticks plenty of the right boxes on paper and it will look significant if the market speaks in his favour. Stablemate and fellow newcomer Boldly also boasts good credentials but Laser Guided, who stepped up on his debut effort when runner-up over a mile here in January, is feared most now faced with a stiffer test.

John Gosden has introduced some smart newcomers here over the years so INQUIRING MINDS is selected to make a winning debut for the yard

19:10 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 7/1 (4) PHANTASY MAC seems to be the strongest contender as they have recently returned to form and have a good track record with both a course win and multiple flat wins. Additionally, they had a very good second in their most recent race only 5 days prior. 3/1 (3) FRANCESI and 5/1 (5) DAHEER also have a good track record with multiple C&D wins, but 7/1 (4) PHANTASY MAC seems to be the most promising based on the summary provided.

A case can be made for several of these, including Francesi, who made a pleasing return to action when finishing half a length back in second over a mile at Southwell last month. He has proven consistent enough in the past to suggest he can play a leading role here, but ENGLISH SPIRIT filled the runner-up spot over C&D last month and he can go one better off 1lb higher. Daheer and Phantasy Mac are others to bear in mind.

It's worth taking a chance on the fitness of SAVROLA as this unexposed 4-y-o appeals as one who can go on to better things for his new trainer James Ferguson. Francesi was a fine second on his Southwell reappearance and is feared most ahead of English Spirit.

Preference is for FRANCESI who has twice been competitive here and he ran a nice first race after being gelded.

0.73/1 (3) HERCULE DU SEUIL is likely to do well based on the fact that he has a smart form over hurdles and has won 3 out of 4 starts this season, including a Grade 2 race. Additionally, he is making his chase debut, which could potentially work to his advantage as he may be able to transition well to chasing.

This looks a match between two of the three JP McManus-owned contenders, with marginal preference for ROSEYS HOLLOW, who is in receipt of a mares' allowance. A Grade 3 winner over flights, the selection has some good efforts to her name since switching to the larger obstacles. She finished a place ahead of Instit on her most recent start at Cork, with that one since winning twice, finishing a clear second to Impervious at Punchestown on Friday last. Hercule Du Seuil has three wins to his name from six career starts and is likely to go off a warm order favourite. Successful in Grade 2 company at Fairyhouse on Easter Sunday, he starts off over fences now and is sure to be well-schooled for this assignment. Senecia and Hamundarson are others that warrants respect. The former ran much better than the bare result would suggest when fifth in a good quality contest at Cork in December.

HAMUNDARSON made an encouraging debut in this sphere after 14 months off when runner-up at Leopardstown just over 8 weeks ago, and with further progress on the cards, Gordon Elliott's charge can open his account second time up. Hercule du Seuil has enjoyed a fine season over hurdles so he may emerge as the main danger on chasing debut, with Roseys Hollow third on the shortlist.

Given a clear round HERCULE DU SEUIL should prove very hard to catch around here on chasing debut

Based on the summary, 2.5/1 (8) PROFITAR RULES seems like the most likely contender as it won its last race and is only 2lb higher. 4/1 (1) AIHAWAWI also has improved form and has been a runner-up in its last two starts, so it could also be a strong competitor. 4/1 (6) MY ROXANNE and Goblet of Fire have both won before but are not as consistent as the top two choices. The others have not shown impressive recent form and may not be likely to win.

MY ROXANNE was handed an unlikely first career victory when getting up on the line to get the better of the well-fancied Concorde at Chelmsford last time out. Despite the bizarre nature of the closing stages, the three-year-old arrives here on the same mark and may well go close again. Aihawawi has been knocking on the door of late and rates the most immediate danger, while Indication Rocket looks best of the rest.

PROFITAR RULES had a bit up his sleeve when accounting for Aihawawi at this course just under 3 weeks ago, and with this step back up to 1m holding no fears, Tom Dascombe's charge is fancied to confirm those placings with that rival once again. My Roxanne was a fortunate winner at Chelmsford recently and she looks best of the remainder.

A tight looking affair in which a trio are closely matched. The vote goes to the recent (fortunate) Chelmsford winner MY ROXANNE.

3.33/1 (6) LUNAR SHADOW is the most likely horse to do well based on the summary, as she has recently had a career-best win in a handicap race and has only been nudged up 2 lbs in the handicap, suggesting that she still has room for improvement. Additionally, the summary notes that she should have a part to play if she can build on her recent success.

HAVEN LADY has been knocking on the door of late and must hold every chance of going one better following a good second over 1m6f at Southwell off the same mark, despite stepping up in class from that outing. Silence Is Golden makes her handicap debut following a disappointing run over a mile at Kempton last month and is feared up in trip, while Lunar Shadow scored on her return to action in March and completes the shortlist.

The vote goes to HAVEN LADY, who deserves to get her head back in front having hit the crossbar on each of her last 4 starts, including over this C&D in March. Bookmark is on a good mark judged on her turf form but she's yet to strike on the all-weather and bigger threats may be posed by Lunar Shadow, who looked better than ever when narrowly prevailing at Lingfield last time. Sainte Colette failed to make an impact on her handicap debut when last seen but is worth another chance.

KINGSTON JOY can show the benefit of a break and return to her winning form at Lingfield.

19:48 Ballinrobe Handicap Chase 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary, the horse with the best chance of doing well appears to be 2.5/1 (6) BATTLE OF MIRBAT. The horse has been consistently performing well, with a solid run behind an improving mare at Limerick last time and a creditable second in a handicap chase at Limerick 37 days ago. The booking of McDonagh is seen as a plus, and the horse is expected to go well again. Other horses that could do well include 3/1 (4) PATS CHOICE, 6.5/1 (10) WEST BREEZE, and 9/1 (8) SCALOR.

The most valuable race of the evening, with BATTLE OF MIRBAT the suggestion for the grandfather, grandson combination of Michael and Mark McDonagh. An easy winner on his handicap debut at Leopardstown, he since finished second at Limerick. Queen Jane won that Greenmount Park contest and she gave the form a boost at Punchestown, falling at the last when still in with every chance. Golden Sandbanks is given second preference with Kieran Callaghan taking a valuable 7lb off. A four-time winner last year, the Paul Flynn trained-gelding has yet to finish outside the first two in three starts over fences. Pat's Choice is a consistent performer and can make his presence felt, while others that warrant respect are West Breeze and course winners Union Park and Red Striker.

Off the mark at Leopardstown on his penultimate start, BATTLE OF MIRBAT ran at least as well in defeat behind another progressive sort at Limerick in March and, with his rider taking off a handy 5 lb, he could well be the answer here. Pats Choice arrives in form and is feared, along with the returning Red Striker, who remains open to improvement in this sphere.

Having run as well as could be expected last time behind Punchestown big race winner Dinoblue, PATS CHOICE can score down in class.

It is likely that 0.11/1 (1) COVEY Ready will do well in the upcoming race, as the summary describes the horse as impossible to oppose and having recently won a maiden race at Newmarket.

This looks like the perfect opportunity for the John & Thady Gosden-trained COVEY to record a second career victory after emphatically justifying favouritism at Newmarket last time out. The son of Frankel is somewhat unlucky to not have his an unbeaten record still intact, having bumped into an improving rival on his racecourse debut, and he gets the nod. Keeponbelieving showed glimpses of promise when third at Newcastle on her latest outing and may claim minor money, while Dancing Cloud can follow them home.

This looks a simple opportunity for COVEY to add to his Newmarket victory before going on to tougher tests. Keeponbelieving gets the nod for the forecast.

The recent Newmarket scorer COVEY possesses a bright future and, in all likelihood, will prove himself to be a cut above these rivals.

She has possibilities off the same mark here with that run under her belt.

MOONDIAL made the frame on her seasonal return over this trip at Kempton a couple of weeks ago and she could be hard to beat with the benefit of that outing. Alaskan was third over 6f at Lingfield last time and may improve for the step up in distance, while She's A Mirage and Gypsy Nation are others who could go well.

This could be the day when SOUTH DAKOTA SIOUX finally opens his account. He has made the frame on several occasions, including when fourth recently in a 6f handicap at Chelmsford where he left the impression that moving up to this trip would be in his favour. Alaskan would have benefited from a stronger gallop when third at Lingfield and will be a threat if getting that here, while She's A Mirage, Gypsy Nation and handicap-debutant Zoukster are all worthy of consideration.

Today's extra furlong looks a good move for ALASKAN and he's in better form than a lot of these, as is his main danger Moondial.

20:18 Ballinrobe NH Flat Race 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary, it is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well. However, some horses that are worth noting and may be in the mix are 1.38/1 (9) READIN TOMMY WRONG, 1.75/1 (1) ANY ROAD, and 40/1 (11) ZOLPHARINE. 1.38/1 (9) READIN TOMMY WRONG has a strong point-to-point record and is a rules debutant from a leading stable. 1.75/1 (1) ANY ROAD has been performing creditably in recent bumpers and was only beaten by 3 lengths in a strong race at Cork. 40/1 (11) ZOLPHARINE is a newcomer by a top sire and comes from a strong breeding line. However, as with all horse racing, there are many factors that could affect the outcome, and it ultimately depends on the performance on the day.

ANY ROAD should be able to put his experience to good use. The Walk In The Park gelding has come up against some useful types on his five previous starts, going down by just half a length at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day. Second at Cork on his most recent outing, he was seven lengths clear of Backtonormal in third, with that one since successful on his next start. Fresh from his Bishopscourt Cup success at the Punchestown Festival, Pat Taaffe takes the ride on the selection and claims a valuable 7lb. Readin Tommy Wrong is an obvious danger in the famous double green silks of Simon Munir and Isaac Souede. From the family of Quito De La Roque and Kazal, he finished second on debut in a point-to-point at Bellharbour in February of last year. Making his debut for Willie Mullins now, the Authorized gelding is likely to go off favourite. Arabian Diamond was sixth of 25 on debut over flights at Fairyhouse and he warrants the utmost respect coming from the Gordon Elliott yard. Get It Right and Master Player are others that look capable of making an impact.

ANY ROAD has shown more than enough to think a race of this nature is within his grasp and, having finished runner-up at Cork on his latest outing weeks ago, he's fancied to go one place better. Readin Tommy Wrong is an appealing Rules newcomer for the all-conquering Mullins' stable and he's respected, with Master Player completing the shortlist.

Readin Tommy Wrong has to be respected but ANY ROAD(nap) has rock-solid credentials, especially on the form of his Cork second.

20:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 3.33/1 (7) EXCEED seems like the most likely candidate to do well as they have been a runner-up twice, including at the same track as this race, and have only received a 2 lb rise in weight. They are also described as a

EXCEED has filled the runner-up spot on his last two outings and a 2lb raised mark from his latest run on turf looks unlikely to stop him having a say in proceedings here. He was only narrowly denied over this trip at Southwell on his penultimate start and must be of interest if anywhere near that form. Debydinks took a big step forward when finishing in second at Wolverhampton last time out and is feared, while Cheyenne Nation is also open to improvement dropping in trip.

It's probably best to forgive CHEYENNE NATION for his below par display at Redcar last month and he will have every chance if reproducing the form of his reappearance second at Thirsk, provided he takes to this surface. Exceed and Debydinks both found just one too good last time out and the former, who has had fewer chances than Keith Dalgleish's charge, is feared most.

Nigel Tinkler's EXCEED, a commendable second in a valuable Class 6 handicap at Bath recently, is preferred to Debydinks.

20:45 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to predict which horse will do well based on this summary as there are several contenders with good past performances and recent form, such as 3.33/1 (5) STORM MASTER, 3.5/1 (4) MARTINEO, and 3.5/1 (2) CHIFA. 4.5/1 (6) VIEWFROMTHESTARS and 5.5/1 (7) TEA GARDEN also have potential for each-way claims. 16/1 (1) PORTELET BAY and 18/1 (3) LILANDRA are less likely to win, while 50/1 (8) HEY PRETTY's poor recent form makes it best to watch rather than bet on.

VIEWFROMTHESTARS was narrowly denied at Kempton two starts ago and his most recent effort over 6f at Lingfield suggested that this step up in trip would suit. Storm Master hit the crossbar at Newcastle last time and he could make the frame once again. Martineo is another with valid form claims, while Chifa cannot be discounted on his return to action.

Supporting a 17-race maiden is obviously risky but in VIEWFROMTHESTARS the chance is worth taking in this trappy-looking contest. He wasn't seen to best effect last time and he may well have hit the target at Kempton on his penultimate start, granted a clearer passage. Cases can be made for pretty much all of the others, with Storm Master and Tea Garden the pair who may offer the most resistance.

Viewfromthestars should go well but STORM MASTER (nap) can record his second C&D success.

21:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

1.63/1 (6) SPIRIT OF BOWLAND has the best chance of doing well based on the information provided. The horse has won its last two starts, is a course winner, and has two wins from three runs this year. The summary also mentions that the 4lb rise in weight probably underestimates the horse, suggesting it has more to give and could potentially secure a hat-trick of wins.

A marginal drop in trip following a good second at Wolverhampton in March looks set to suit previous C&D winner ODD SOCKS HAVANA and he can bounce back to that form here. He is rated 5lb above his last winning mark, though, and the hat-trick seeking Spirit Of Bowland can give the selection plenty to think about. Masham Moor has filled the runner-up spot in two of his latest three outings, including behind the selection on his third-last run, and completes the shortlist.

SPIRIT OF BOWLAND scored with far more in hand than the margin of victory would suggest at Southwell 18 days ago and a 4 lb rise is unlikely to prevent this 4-y-o from completing the hat-trick. Odd Socks Havana and Masham Moor have both been holding their form well in recent months and are likely to emerge as the main dangers. Our Dickie is also in with an each-way shout.

The in-form course winner SPIRIT OF BOWLAND (nap) is taken to complete a hat-trick by beating Odd Socks Havana and Rum Runner.

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.
