1st (5) Cosa Sara (3/1 +25%)
Cosa Sara

3/1(+25%)
(5) Cosa Sara 3/1, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 12/1, twelfth of 14 in handicap at Bath (8f, soft) 27 days ago, slowly away. Should run closer to form this time.
Did well in early part of last season and is back on a good mark now.

2nd (1) Bulls Aye (3.33/1 +33%)
Bulls Aye

3.33/1(+33%)
(1) Bulls Aye 3.33/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2020. Tongue strap on for first time in this code, eighth of 9 in handicap at Musselburgh (8f, good to soft, 12/1) 26 days ago. Needs to leave that effort well behind.
Placed in selling handicap on AW two runs ago and too well handicapped to rule out.

(7) Oriental Lilly 9/1, Course winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2021. 28/1, respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 31 days ago, never nearer. Back down in trip and this a rare turf outing these days.
Last won in 2021, and she's had several chances off basement marks on AW this year.

(3) Far From A Ruby 2/1, C&D winner. 40/1, fourth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 25 days ago. That was a step back in the right direction and she's well weighted.
Returned to form on latest AW start and is 5lb lower than for last summer's C&D win.

Class Clown

33/1(-136%)
(4) Class Clown 33/1, Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap (7/1) at Newcastle (7.1f). Off 18 months. First run for yard after leaving David Barron and well-being has to be taken on trust.
Not firing on all cylinders for David Barron when last seen in autumn 2021.
LTO Selection:

13:30 Ayr Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well based on this summary, as there is no clear standout performer. However, based on recent form and previous wins at the course, 2/1 (3) FAR FROM A RUBY and 3/1 (5) COSA SARA seem like strong contenders to finish in the top three. 3.33/1 (1) BULLS AYE could also be a consideration if he can put his recent disappointing run behind him. Ultimately, the outcome of the race will depend on many variables, including the form of each horse on the day and the conditions of the track.

DARK COMPANY wasn't disgraced when fourth at Wolverhampton on his latest outing and the five-year-old, who was dropped 1lb by the handicapper, appears to have been found a suitable opportunity to gain his first success on turf. Far From A Ruby boasts a decent record at this track and is likely to be competitive following her recent fourth at Southwell. Last year's winner Cosa Sara could easily bounce back from her return effort at Bath and is noted along with Bulls Aye.

Hard to make a compelling case for any of these but FAR FROM A RUBY took a big step in the right direction when fourth at Southwell last time and she's well weighed these days. Cosa Sara and Dark Company are probably the chief threats.

This might go to FAR FROM A RUBY, who signalled a return to form on the AW last month and won over C&D off a higher mark last year.

LTO Selection:

13:40 Salisbury Stakes (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 1.2/1 (2) MATTERS MOST and 1.5/1 (1) KALIK appear to be the strongest contenders, with both horses showing promising form at Newbury. 5/1 (8) LIV MY LIFE and 16/1 (4) STATES also have potential for improvement, but may struggle to beat the top two. Therefore, the predicted order of finish would be: 1st - 1.2/1 (2) MATTERS MOST 2nd - 1.5/1 (1) KALIK 3rd - 5/1 (8) LIV MY LIFE

KALIK made a promising start to his racing career when filling the runner-up spot over this trip at Newbury last month, and the son of Prince Of Lir could break his maiden at the second time of asking. He is related to a few smart types, including French Group 1-placed Oscula, and he can have another big say in proceedings here. Matters Most finished third behind the selection last time out and is feared most, while the unraced Chinese Knot completes the shortlist.

KALIK and Matters Most cost plenty as a yearling, and having both shaped well in the same maiden at Newbury, they may well dominate this. The former is taken to uphold the form, with Liv My Life the pick of the remainder.

Newbury runner-up KALIK is taken to go one better and give Amo Racing another 2yo winner. Matters Most is feared most.

LTO Selection:

13:50 Redcar Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, our prediction for the horses that will finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd are as follows: 1st: 4.5/1 (6) DESTINED 2nd: 3/1 (11) LADY CHAPEL 3rd: 5.5/1 (13) OUR DELIA

Bloomin Robbery, who cost 125,000gns as a yearling, appeals on pedigree and is one to seriously consider if the betting market vibes suggest she can make a positive impact on her debut. Similar applies to Just A Notion, another expensive purchase who would also have to be of interest if supported. However, Our Delia (second) and DESTINED (third) have an edge in terms of experience, with the latter taken to turnaround last November's Newcastle form now switched to turf.

Preference is for DESTINED, who acquitted herself well on both outings as a juvenile and should have more to offer this year. Our Delia and Aclaim To Fame head the list of dangers.

John Quinn saddles an interesting newcomer in SKI ANGEL, who gets the nod over fair maiden Destined in an open novice.

LTO Selection:

14:00 Ayr Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to predict a clear winner from this summary as many of the horses have been inconsistent in their recent form or have not raced in a while. However, based on their past performances and course experience, the top three horses that may have a good chance of finishing well are: 1. 28/1 (5) BOUDICA BAY - With nine 5f wins under her belt and a recent win at Haydock, 28/1 (5) BOUDICA BAY has proven to be a strong competitor at this distance. She may benefit from starting out with a new yard and could be a strong contender if she's fit and ready. 2. 1.1/1 (2) JORDAN ELECTRICS - This horse has shown some potential with a creditable seventh place in a recent handicap and previous course experience. With a bit more fitness under his belt, he may be able to improve and finish well in this race. 3. 5.5/1 (4) SIXCOR - With three C&D wins and a fourth place finish in a recent handicap, 5.5/1 (4) SIXCOR may be able to hold his own in this race

This represents a drop in class for JORDAN ELECTRICS, who is entitled to improve for an encouraging comeback run over this trip at Musselburgh last month. Off the same mark, he is fancied to go well, but the reopposing Bert Kibbler is another to consider now rated 2lb lower following that effort 26 days ago when he wasn't beaten too far by the selection. Sixcor makes his return to action following a decent fourth at Pontefract last September and completes the shortlist.

All four of BERT KIBBLER's career victories have come on all weather to date but he's effective on turf and, best not judged too harshly on his latest Musselburgh run, he could be worth chancing from his easing mark. Jordan Electrics and the returning Sixcor head up the dangers.

LTO Selection:

14:10 Salisbury Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary provided, it is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will finish in the top three. However, some horses have more potential than others based on recent performances and improvements. One horse to consider is 6/1 (5) SKALLYWAG BAY, who has shown improved form and won a novice event at Kempton before taking a break for seven months. She is making her handicap debut from a fair-looking mark and could potentially do well. Another horse worth considering is 3/1 (4) GRENHAM BAY, who has won a minor event at Kempton and is making her handicap debut from a very fair mark. She has also shown potential by collaring a subsequent handicap winner in a 6f AW novice race. 6/1 (1) DE BRUYNE is another horse with potential, having ended his 2yo season with a 6f AW novice win. He has been off for 153 days but could potentially offer more in his handicap debut. Therefore, based on recent form and potential, the horses predicted to finish in the top three

De Bruyne makes his handicap debut following a game win on the all-weather in December, but he has to shoulder top weight in this contest so SNUGGLE shades the vote on this occasion. He finished a decent third over this trip at Pontefract last month and can get off the mark now returning to the handicap ranks. Grenham Bay remains unexposed and adds further spice to the race, along with Big R.

Assuming he's as effective on turf, Kempton-winner GRENHAM BAY looks well weighted switched to a handicap with the prospect of better to come. De Bruyne also has improvement in the pipeline, with Flying Spirit another to consider on his return to action.

The form GRENHAM BAY showed when winning a Kempton novice last month has been given a good boost by the second since. He gets the nod.

LTO Selection:

14:20 Redcar Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, the horses that have a good chance of finishing in the top 3 are 0.83/1 (3) INDIANA BE, 10/1 (4) KENTUCKY BLUEGRASS, and 3/1 (2) GOLD GUY. 0.83/1 (3) INDIANA BE had a good reappearance and is in the picture, while 10/1 (4) KENTUCKY BLUEGRASS can step forward on his seasonal return. 3/1 (2) GOLD GUY had a promising debut and his form has been franked, making him a solid player. 33/1 (8) MADGE MCSPLASH, although appealing on paper, may need the market's guidance as a newcomer. The rest of the horses are either less convincing or have previously shown poor form.

INDIANA BE has been consistent enough so far and looks worth persevering with now he is back on turf. The son of Sioux Nation, who was a good second from a 1lb lower mark in a C&D nursery last September, sets a reasonable standard for a race of this nature and looks the logical choice. Gold Guy went close on his debut at Newcastle in January and a step forward would see him on the premises. Acclaimer and Man Of A'an also warrant respect and they are worth a check in the betting market.

This can go to INDIANA BE, who was clear of the remainder when runner-up on his return at Southwell last month and likely has more to offer yet. Gold Guy and Man of A'an are feared most.

Newcastle second GOLD GUY is taken to go one better and edge out his main form rival Indiana Be

LTO Selection:

14:35 Ayr Maiden (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 0.83/1 (2) HEY LYLA seems like the clear pick on form and has recently performed well. For the remaining two places, 2/1 (1) FLEUR DE MER has a good pedigree with multiple winners in the family, but their debut performance was not strong. 9/1 (6) PURNIKA has an interesting pedigree and is a newcomer to watch out for. 1st place: 0.83/1 (2) HEY LYLA 2nd place: 9/1 (6) PURNIKA 3rd place: 2/1 (1) FLEUR DE MER

HEY LYLA remains a maiden after seven starts, but she continues to run well in defeat. Charlie Johnston's filly sets the standard on official ratings and must hold every chance of opening her account, providing she can run to a similar level. Purnika boasts an appealing pedigree and she merits the utmost respect on debut, while Out Of Mischief, who finished a good fourth at Wolverhampton in November, has the ability to go close too.

HEY LYLA bumped into a useful one at Epsom on her return and this represents an excellent opportunity. David O'Meara's newcomer Purnika may emerge as the biggest threat.

Charlie Johnston's filly HEY LYLA is beginning to look exposed after seven runs but she has shown some fairly useful form.

LTO Selection:

14:45 Salisbury Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

1st place: 6.5/1 (1) PARISIAC 2nd place: 2.75/1 (6) WITH RESPECT 3rd place: 11/1 (4) DARVEL

It could be worth siding with MATTY TOO, who was last seen securing a comfortable success at Leicester over 7f last October. He made all on that occasion, so a drop in trip may not be enough to stop him making a winning seasonal debut off 2lb higher. Parisiac lines up off the same mark as when a decent third at Thirsk last time out and can give the selection most to think about, while Airshow is another to bear in mind.

WITH RESPECT emphatically stopped the slide in a first-time tongue strap when successful at Southwell in February and this revised mark should be well within range. He's the most persuasive option with Oisin Murphy a positive jockey booking, though Michaels Choice is interesting having won on last season's reappearance over C&D. Oriental Spirit is also considered.

Well-treated WITH RESPECT is suited by soft ground and is quite appealing after a convincing AW win in February.

LTO Selection:

14:55 Redcar Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, it is difficult to predict which horse will come in first, second, and third. However, some horses that may have a chance of placing could be 2.75/1 (4) LITTLE JO, 3/1 (1) LIKE A LION, and 3/1 (2) KING CARNEY. These horses have shown past success and are either at a handy mark or on a workable mark, making them potentially competitive in the race.

Like A Lion runs off his last winning mark and could be up to the task of coping with the burden of top weight in this selling handicap. However, he didn't appear to see out the trip when he was last tried over 1m and slight preference is for KING CARNEY, who is more proven over the distance and is effective on the predicted going. Butterfly Island is also considered now she is tried in first-time cheekpieces.

LITTLE JO wasn't seen to best effect at Pontefract last time and gets the nod in a race which may not take a great deal of winning. KIng Carney and Like A Lion are next best.

Newcastle scorer KING CARNEY is taken to bounce back in style having gone too freely last time and with Hollie Doyle now on board.

Returned from rather disappointing hurdling spell with clearcut Flat win last month.
LTO Selection:

15:05 Ayr Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, it is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. However, 3/1 (5) SHINE ON BRENDAN and 1.75/1 (2) STAR SHIELD seem to be the most likely contenders, with both being C&D winners and arriving in good form. 3.33/1 (1) FLYLIKEANEAGLE also has potential, having recently won a handicap race at Musselburgh, but may struggle with a weight increase. 3.33/1 (3) SHOWMEDEMONEY could be a decent bet for a place, having consistently placed in recent races. Overall, the race seems quite competitive and any of these horses could place in the top three.

FLYLIKEANEAGLE struck by three lengths at Musselburgh last time on his return to the Flat, and the six-year-old gelding was raised 6lb for that effort. The quicker conditions are unlikely to trouble him and, with Brandon Wilkie claiming 7lb, he could prove very tough to beat. An interesting contender is Alpine Sierra, who makes his return to action after having a wind operation and tries a first-time tongue-tie, which could eke out improvement. Star Shield is another to note.

C&D scorer STAR SHIELD shaped as if in top form when fifth at Newcastle last time and can capitalise on a handy-looking mark at the chief expense of recent Musselburgh victor Flylikeaneagle, who can also boast a C&D win and rates a big threat. In-form Showmedemoney appeals as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

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

Based on the information provided, the horse that is most likely to do well is 0.67/1 (2) GREEK ORDER. The horse has narrowly the best form in the field and is a promising type with significant potential. It finished second in a novice event at Newmarket and retains plenty of potential as a 3-year-old. My predictions for the top three horses in the race are: 1. 0.67/1 (2) GREEK ORDER 2. 4.5/1 (8) SHAADEN 3. 3.5/1 (1) BALANCE PLAY

GREEK ORDER has performed to a fair level on both of his career starts. The son of Kingman hit the frame over C&D on his debut, before being narrowly denied at Newmarket next time out. That level of form gives him leading claims and he can open his account at the third time of asking. Shaaden merits the utmost respect along with Balance Play, while Quddwah is worth a market check ahead of his debut.

GREEK ORDER didn't make the big leap expected of him following a very promising debut when second at Newmarket in the autumn but this well-bred colt retains plenty of potential this year. Shaaden is another useful prospect in the making, with Quddwah an interesting newcomer.

The Charltons' GREEK ORDER may emerge best, having been eclipsed in only the final strides at Newmarket last October.

LTO Selection:

15:25 Redcar Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

1st: 7.5/1 (1) RAZONI 2nd: 8.5/1 (8) COVERDALE 3rd: 3/1 (4) ROARING LEGEND

FEUD had excuses when not scoping right after his third start at Kempton and the son of Dubawi, who has been gelded over the winter, is open to a fair amount of improvement on his handicap bow. Roaring Legend represents a stable who have enjoyed a fine start to the season and the application of a tongue-tie, along with a gelding operation, may see him enter the reckoning. Ribal, who finished runner-up at Doncaster on his return to action, and Razoni are others with viable claims.

COVERDALE progressed with each start last season and this longer trip may well unlock further improvement. He can make a winning return. Ribal and Razoni rate the principal dangers.

Ralph Beckett's FEUD (nap) should relish this new trip and show improvement on his handicap debut.

Best known as a miler now and not seen since two below-par AW runs in November.
LTO Selection:

15:40 Ayr Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the information provided, it is difficult to confidently predict which horse will do well. However, 1.75/1 (1) WATER OF LEITH and 3.5/1 (2) OUR ABSENT FRIENDS seem to have a higher chance of performing well as they have recent wins and are only slightly above their successful marks. 7.5/1 (3) TANGLED may struggle with the drop back to 6f, and 4/1 (5) FORESEEABLE FUTURE may need another run or two to reach peak fitness. 4.5/1 (4) THAKI also remains unproven on turf. Therefore, our prediction for the top three finishers would be 1.75/1 (1) WATER OF LEITH in first place, 3.5/1 (2) OUR ABSENT FRIENDS in second place, and 4.5/1 (4) THAKI in third place.

OUR ABSENT FRIENDS has been in excellent form on the all-weather and a mere 2lb rise for his most recent success at Newcastle may not be enough to stop him going in again. Stepping back up in trip looks like another plus and he can see off the capable Water Of Leith and Thaki, who performed well on his first start for new connections last month.

It's unlikely OUR ABSENT FRIENDS will have reached his limit after only 3 handicap starts and he could take a bit of stopping if proving as effective on turf. Water of Leith should find this a lot easier than the big-field Musselburgh Class 2 he ran in last time and has a good record here so he's feared most.

Topweight WATER OF LEITH has made a quiet start to this season but contests a much easier race today and is given the verdict.

LTO Selection:

15:50 Salisbury Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the information provided, 18/1 (8) FULLFORWARD, 8/1 (9) THINK CHAMPAGNE, and 3.5/1 (4) ECTOCROSS are the most likely to finish in the top three positions. 18/1 (8) FULLFORWARD has been consistent in handicaps and performed well in a recent AW start, while 8/1 (9) THINK CHAMPAGNE also has a strong AW effort and has gotten back on track in a recent handicap. 3.5/1 (4) ECTOCROSS may also be a contender, having won a recent handicap and showing potential for further progress. However, it's important to note that horse racing can be unpredictable and unexpected outcomes are always possible.

ECTOCROSS appeared to have plenty in hand when winning at Lingfield in March, so it was perhaps slightly disappointing that he couldn't follow up at Nottingham. Simon Dow's charge retains potential, however, and with Oisin Murphy aboard for the first time, he could regain the winning thread. Pink Lily has been running well on the all-weather recently and she must be of interest back on the grass. Chester Tonik heads the remainder.

A host in with chances but GASMAN has been gelded/switched to the in-form Charlie Hills yard since last seen so he makes plenty of appeal having just a second start on the turf. The main threat may come from Ectocross, who left previous efforts well behind on return/handicap bow when scoring at Lingfield in March and he can continue his good run of form. Think Champagne and Fullforward round off the shortlist.

Preference is for ECTOCROSS, who should still have more to offer in handicaps. Double Down is second choice.

LTO Selection:

16:00 Redcar Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the information provided, 0.2/1 (1) CONCORDE seems like the strongest contender for the top 3 positions. Therefore, the predicted order of finish is: 1. 0.2/1 (1) CONCORDE 2. 9/1 (4) VIOLETA 3. 8/1 (3) INSPIRITED

CONCORDE made amends for his Chelmsford second when flying away from the opposition at Pontefract in the manner of a horse well ahead of the handicapper. Despite carrying a 6lb penalty for that success, he remains 3lb well-in and George Boughey's gelding, who returns to the scene of his first victory, is expected to be a very warm order. That said, he does face some stiffer opposition in the shape of Maid In London, who got off the mark at the second attempt at Wolverhampton, and Inspirited.

CONCORDE reiterated that he's way ahead of the handicapper when storming clear at Pontefract 10 days ago and he should have no trouble going in again. Maid In London is the likeliest to capitalise if the selection fluffs his lines and Inspirited isn't completely dismissed having signed off the last campaign with an improved effort to score at Brighton.

Maid In London and Inspirited bring potential to their handicap debuts but CONCORDE can win again.

LTO Selection:

16:10 Ayr Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, the horse that seems most likely to do well and finish in the top three is 3.33/1 (3) GRACES QUEST. It had two wins last season and is consistent in the main. The other two horses that could potentially finish in the top three are 5.5/1 (6) FLYING MOON, who has a good record when fresh and has won at this C&D three times before, and 4/1 (2) BERRY EDGE, who is down in grade and has placed four times on turf last year. Therefore, the predicted order of finish is: 1. 3.33/1 (3) GRACES QUEST 2. 5.5/1 (6) FLYING MOON 3. 4/1 (2) BERRY EDGE

Kalahari Prince hasn't shown much in two starts this season, but that may all change with the application of a first-time visor potentially making a difference. Graces Quest was a consistent performer last season and she has to be of interest, despite dropping in trip. The vote, though, goes to BERRY EDGE. He was knocking on the door on several occasions in 2022 and this may be the time to catch him as he returns from a break.

GRACES QUEST wasn't at her best when last seen 7 months ago but she had a positive 2022 overall and could get back on track on seasonal debut. Berry Edge is a danger dropping back in grade and My Macho Man is worthy of interest returning to this sphere after a spell over hurdles.

(11) On The Right Track 22/1, Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 15/2) 37 days ago, cosily. Form been franked so he can make presence felt.
Won reappearance (AW); chief concern that well beaten in his 3 runs on softer than good.

9/1(+25%)
(7) Later Darling 9/1, Winner at Kempton in February. 2/1, fading fourth of 5 in handicap at Chelmsford City (14f) 28 days ago so needs considering back in trip.
Fit from AW; has a lower mark than during his 2022 turf campaign, so a case can be made.
LTO Selection:

16:20 Salisbury Handicap (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, the top three horses predicted to finish in the race are: 1st - 25/1 (11) ON THE RIGHT TRACK 2nd - 20/1 (9) EAGLE COURT 3rd - 2.5/1 (3) KENSINGTON

LADY LABELLE had some smart form in the book last year, perhaps most notably when finishing within three lengths of subsequent Group 2 scorer Al Qareem at York in May. She's in good hands to make further progress and The Gurkha filly ought to prove better than a mark of 78. Kensington struck at Wolverhampton in October and she appeals as a likely contender on her turf/handicap bow, while top-weight Vega Sicilia is another to note.

Frankel filly KENSINGTON appeals as the sort to do well in handicaps this season so is taken to follow up her easy Wolverhampton novice success and make light of her absence. On The Right Track rates a big danger though on the back of his Wolverhampton success, with both Eagle Court and Vega Sicilia capable of having a say too in a competitive handicap.

The well-bred 4yo KENSINGTON, representing the Gosdens, has had just just three races and must be of major interest.

LTO Selection:

16:30 Redcar Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 4/1 (6) DAPPER MAN seems to be the strongest contender with a recent win and a good showing at Catterick. 4.5/1 (1) MEWS HOUSE also has a good recent performance and could possibly finish in second place. 7.5/1 (3) SHOW COMPASSION may also have a chance to finish in the top three. 2.25/1 (7) RAJMEISTER and 9/1 (5) YAZAMAN have some potential, but their recent performances have not been as strong. 10/1 (9) GULLANE ONE and 8/1 (8) PRIMO seem less likely to perform well in this race. Therefore, the prediction for the top three finishers is: 1. 4/1 (6) DAPPER MAN 2. 4.5/1 (1) MEWS HOUSE 3. 7.5/1 (3) SHOW COMPASSION

DAPPER MAN followed up his win at Southwell in March with a close second at Catterick last time and that form gives the veteran a big chance in a race of this nature. Rajmeister failed to fire on his most recent outing but is a player based on his previous victory, while Impressor and Show Compassion are others who could go well.

DAPPER MAN has looked revitalised of late and, having just been touched off at Catterick last week, he's worth a chance to resume winning ways. Impressor, who scored here on his penultimate outing, looks a big danger and Mews House warrants consideration.

It is worth siding with YAZAMAN to build on an encouraging debut for Paul Midgley and capitalise on a much-reduced mark

LTO Selection:

16:40 Ayr Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

1st: 4.5/1 (3) LILIKOI 2nd: 3.33/1 (1) JUDGMENT CALL 3rd: 5.5/1 (5) NOVAK

All three of CLASSY AL's career wins have come at this track and this looks like another ideal opportunity returning from a 210-day break. Conditions look to be in his favour and he is narrowly preferred to the consistent Novak and Judgment Call, who ran a fine race on his return at Musselburgh last month and he is entitled to improve for that reappearance.

ROGUE FORCE acquitted himself well at Kempton last time and figures off a handy mark on debut for new connections here. He gets the nod. Classy Al and Novak rate the principal dangers.

The suggestion is LILIKOI, won began the year in good form on the AW and has a capable 7lb claimer enlisted for her turf return.

LTO Selection:

16:55 Salisbury Handicap (Class 6) 14f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, the horse that is most likely to do well and finish in 1st place is 3.5/1 (6) EASTER ICON, who has recently won on AW and had a career-best win in a handicap race. The horse that is likely to finish in 2nd place is 1.25/1 (5) MONJULES, who has had recent success in hurdle races and is interesting to watch in his handicap debut on the flat. The horse that will finish in 3rd place is 6.5/1 (1) GOT BRIGHT, who has been consistent and has a chance to place if a couple of the other horses falter.

Now that the penny has dropped for EASTER ICON after a determined success at Southwell just over a fortnight ago, there should be more to come from the son of Sixties Icon off a 2lb higher mark. Monjules has been in excellent form over hurdles and must be of interest on this switch to the level, while the booking of Oisin Murphy for Got Bright catches the eye.

Harry Fry's MONJULES arrives in top form over hurdles so is fancied to capitalise on a handy-looking mark back on the level (unraced on it since 2021 in France) and gain a breakthrough success in this sphere. Easter Icon is feared most on the back of his recent Southwell success, with Arthalot another to consider for place purposes.

A fair hurdler for his new yard, MONJULES (nap) may well have the perfect opportunity on this first Flat run since 2021.

LTO Selection:

17:00 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Prediction: 1st: 2.25/1 (1) TOTNES 2nd: 8.5/1 (5) BUTTERFLY EFFECT 3rd: 9/1 (6) CLIMATE PRECEDENT

Totnes was a disappointing favourite on her first start in a handicap when fifth at Wolverhampton, but she is likely to have more to come stepping up to a mile. However, she could come out second best to CLIMATE PRECEDENT, who was well clear of the third when filling the runner-up spot at the same venue over this trip on his latest start. The son of Ulysses was raised 4lb for that effort but that might not be enough to prevent him from going one better. Phenomenon makes his handicap debut and merits consideration.

TOTNES looked a filly on the up until only fifth at Wolverhampton last time but she didn't enjoy the rub of the green there and can bounce back in style off a still handy-looking mark. Wolverhampton-second Climate Precedent can pose the chief threat to Andrew Balding's filly ahead of Butterfly Effect, who could also have a say if first-time blinkers have the desired effect.

Things didn't work out for CLIMATE PRECEDENT when returned to a similar trip to today's in April but he looks capable of better yet.

LTO Selection:

17:05 Redcar Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

1st: 1.38/1 (1) SMILE AND PAY 2nd: 4.5/1 (5) CAMACHO STAR 3rd: 6.5/1 (2) ANGEL OF PEACE

SMILE AND PAY was an 11-length winner over 7f at Catterick last week and is hard to oppose given that his 6lb penalty still leaves him 6lb well in here. Camacho Star has been running well so far this season and should not be underestimated. War Chant is entitled to improve for his encouraging recent return, while Angel Of Peace is another to note.

Having scored with plenty in hand at Catterick 8 days ago, SMILE AND PAY seems the obvious choice under a penalty. Angel of Peace is a notable handicap debutante and the in-form Camacho Star could be dangerous if he gets his own way in front.

It's hard to side against SMILE AND PAY who is weighted to follow up his wide-margin Catterick success turned out under a 6lb penalty.

LTO Selection:

17:20 Tipperary Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

1st: 0.67/1 (9) BIRDIE OR BUST 2nd: 4.5/1 (2) CASH THE CHEQUE 3rd: 16/1 (8) BABY CHOU

BIRDIE OR BUST made a pleasing start at Tramore on New Years Day when beating all bar the well-regarded Quais De Paris and again filled the runner-up spot later that month behind another Willie Mullins-trained odds-on shot at Fairyhouse. The selection had subsequent winner Firm Footings 20 lengths back in third and should be suited by this better ground. Something Abouther won a bumper at Limerick last November and the lightly raced seven-year-old comes here off two placed efforts in mares maiden hurdles including when prominent throughout in the Naas event won by Troubled Times. Cash The Cheque has a similar profile while Baby Chou and I Sea The Moon are others to consider.

BIRDIE OR BUST shaped with promise when twice filling the runners-up spot in maiden hurdles earlier this year and, with potential for better still moving forward, she very much looks the one to side with. Cash The Cheque and Something Abouther head up the dangers, with Baby Chou also worth keeping an eye on.

Henry de Bromhead's BIRDIE OR BUST (nap), second to a Willie Mullins-trained odds-on shot in both her races, has less on her plate now

LTO Selection:

17:25 Salisbury Handicap (Class 6) 14f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, it is difficult to confidently predict which horse will finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. However, some horses to consider for a potential top three finish could be 8.5/1 (4) FRED BEAR, 8.5/1 (1) WINKLEVI, and 4/1 (8) SUGAR CANDIE, who have shown some promise in previous races.

This can go the way of JOHN BETJEMAN, who ran a cracker on his return to the level when not beaten far in third at Bath last month. Mark Gilliard's charge may be winless in 22 starts in this sphere but this looks like as good an opportunity as any. Big Jimbo has been in fine form on the all-weather of late and can give him the most to think about, while Where's Tom and Winklevi are others to consider.

A case can be made for lots of these so at the likely odds it is worth siding with SUGAR CANDIE, who had looked on the up until finishng well held at Wolverhampton after an absence and can bounce back in style with Oisin Murphy now up. Fighting Poet didn't enjoy the rub of the green when sixth at Southwell last time and could emerge as the chief threat, with Chelmsford-second Winklevi another who needs considering in a very open handicap.

She flopped when tried over 1m6f last November but SUGAR CANDIE has to be well worth another go at the trip.

In fine form at 1m on Tapeta and turf, winning at Bath in April and close 2nd on Monday.
LTO Selection:

17:35 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, the predicted order of finish is: 1. 3.5/1 (4) COVERT MISSION 2. 3/1 (7) HAVANA GOLDRUSH 3. 8/1 (6) HUL AH BAH LOO

LAFAN scored impressively at Wolverhampton last time over an extended 1m1f and, even though he has been put up 8lb for that success, he could still be feasibly treated. A fellow last-time-out winner Covert Mission warrants plenty of respect, as he recorded that victory over C&D and should remain competitive off 3lb higher. Havana Goldrush could have a say if transferring his recent turf form to the all-weather.

HUL AH BAH LOO ran another solid race and likely would have been suited by a stronger gallop when third behind Covert Mission over C&D recently and he could be worth chancing to come out on top on this occasion. Lafan, who justified good support to score at Wolverhampton recently, is also firmly in the mix.

Covert Mission is respected but it's easy to prefer LAFAN (nap) who is still well treated despite a wide-margin Wolverhampton win.

LTO Selection:

17:45 Chelmsford Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

1st: 2.13/1 (1) MONTE LINAS 2nd: 1.88/1 (7) AMERICAN BELLE 3rd: 11/1 (3) FLAME SPIRIT

Runner-up over C&D on her last two starts, this represents a good opportunity for AMERICAN BELLE to get off the mark at the seventh time of asking and she is fancied to go one better here. James Fanshawe's three-year-old is fairly well-related and there is likely much more in her locker. Monte Linas secured a comfortable success on his racecourse debut last month and is feared most, despite having to shoulder a 7lb penalty for that success, while Terwada completes the shortlist.

HILDEGARD caught the eye when fifth in a novice over C&D on debut 4 weeks ago and can find the required improvement to beat form-pick American Belle, who finished over 4 lengths in front of the selection that day. Monte Linas overcame inexperience to make a winning debut over C&D 2 weeks ago and is another to consider despite his penalty.

A penalty will make things tougher after his winning debut but, given his potential, MONTE LINAS is taken to follow up.

LTO Selection:

17:55 Tipperary Handicap Hurdle 24f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

1st: 4/1 (18) POSITIVE THINKER 2nd: 16/1 (11) MISTER TWIST 3rd: 12/1 (2) JUNIOR RATTLER

LADIAM won a 2m4f maiden at Sligo last summer and made a promising return when upped to 2m6f at Ballinrobe last month. The Norman Lee-trained mare kept on well when runner-up to favourite Nine Graces and should stay this trip. Miss Tempo has won two maidens, losing a 2m5f Tramore event due to a banned substance and overcame an absence of well over a year when making all over 2m3f at Naas in March. The point-to-point winner is another that should appreciate three miles. Bocelli's Voice beat Mister Twist on testing ground at Clonmel and it will be interesting to see how he copes with this significant step up in distance while Positive Thinker, Junior Rattler, Rebellious Gale and Heyjoe De Kerser are others to consider.

There's likely more to come from Cork maiden winner BOCELLI'S VOICE, particularly now stepping up in trip, so he might prove the answer to this very competitive handicap. Junior Rattler, Naas winner Miss Tempo and Philip Fenton's Mister Twist head the many possible dangers. First reserve Lovely Reaction would merit plenty of respect if getting a run.

A recent winner here on chasing debut POSITIVE THINKER makes plenty of appeal back hurdling in an open-looking contest

Out of sorts in recent starts and takes on some well-treated rivals back at 7f.
LTO Selection:

18:05 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 1.25/1 (6) BURABACK seems to be the strongest contender. They have performed well in recent races and have won over the course and distance before. They are also operating below their last winning mark and have cheekpieces on. 8.5/1 (5) PORFIN and 2.75/1 (4) REVOLUTIONARY MAN could potentially finish in 2nd and 3rd place, respectively, as they have had decent performances in their recent races and have won over the course and distance before.

REVOLUTIONARY MAN kept on well into second last time at Wolverhampton and the son of Exceed and Excel was raised just 1lb for that display. With Billy Loughnane booked to claim 3lb, he looks to hold every chance of recording his fifth career success. The main danger could be Buraback, who is running off the same mark as when runner-up over C&D recently and tries first-time cheekpieces, while Lilkian is noted too.

BURABACK ran his best race yet since joining Mick Appleby when second in a C&D handicap 8 days ago and, operating 3 lb below his last winning mark, he could well be the answer here. Lilkian and Revolutionary Man head up the dangers.

Marginal preference is for REVOLUTIONARY MAN but Buraback (second choice) is also well treated now.

Made all to spring 40-1 surprise at Kempton last month; easy lead is unlikely this time.
LTO Selection:

18:15 Chelmsford 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 finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. However, 3.75/1 (4) ARAIFJAN, 9/1 (3) ALMODOVAR DEL RIO, and 3.33/1 (5) ANIFICAS BEAUTY are all mentioned as having potential and should be involved in the finish. 3.5/1 (1) FORCA BRASIL, while equipped with a hood, has not shown much since his debut win and may be less likely to finish in the top three. Ultimately, the race is unpredictable and could be won by any of the listed horses.

ANIFICAS BEAUTY took a big step forward on her return to action when scoring over 7f at this track last month and a drop in trip may not be enough to stop her following up. She made virtually all on that occasion and is entitled to secure a double off 6lb higher, but Company Minx was a game winner over this trip at Kempton most recently and can give the selection plenty to think about. Araifjan also warrants a market check.

ANIFICAS BEAUTY proved as good as ever when making a winning return from 6 months off over further here 3 weeks ago and the manner of that success suggests she could well have more to offer moving forward. Forca Brasil (non runner at Brighton on Wednesday) is an intriguing contender back in the care of George Boughey and is feared, with Almodovar del Rio also shortlisted.

Most are of interest but EPIC EXPRESS is in better form than this figures suggest and he gets the nod.

LTO Selection:

18:25 Tipperary Handicap Chase 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

1st: 7.5/1 (3) KNOW THE GAME 2nd: 5/1 (8) JACK HOLIDAY 3rd: 14/1 (1) GOOD AS HELL

COOLE ARCADE appreciates good ground and won over hurdles here last year. The Henry de Bromhead-trained gelding also scored over fences last summer at Wexford and it will be interesting to see how strong he is in the market following a six months break. Know The Game had Malinas Glory six lengths back in third when just denied by Freddie Robdal at Tramore last month, while Good As Hell is another for the shortlist. The topweight has gained both victories on decent ground including a 2m4f handicap chase here last autumn and shaped well on his reappearance at Clonmel last month where the combination of heavy ground and a step up in trip only just proved too much. Jack Holiday has a C&D win to his credit and again showed his liking for this venue when successfully reverting to hurdles last month.

Preference is for KNOW THE GAME, who was just touched off by an unexposed rival at Tramore last time and remains feasibly treated. Jack Holiday and Good As Hell should also go well.

None really stand out but COOLE ARCADE goes well here, likes the ground and runs well fresh so has plenty of positives

Two 7f AW wins for former yard last year; ended the season poorly; new headgear for return.
LTO Selection:

18:35 Lingfield Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, the horses that have a higher chance of finishing in the top three are: 1. 3/1 (2) MELLYS FLYER 2. 4.5/1 (3) DAYMAN 3. 5/1 (5) MAMILLIUS

Bobby On The Beat likes it around here and must be respected having recorded a comfortable C&D success on his latest outing, but MELLYS FLYER could prove too strong. George Scott's charge went up 4lb in the ratings for his recent Wolverhampton success, although Benoit De La Sayette's 3lb claim negates the majority of that and it would be no surprise were he to follow up. Recon Mission could have a say, while Mamillius is not without a chance either.

RECON MISSION went close in a higher grade at Epsom on last week's reappearance and may be capable of going one better off the same mark. Last month's Wolverhampton scorer Mellys Flyer is feared most with Benoit de la Sayette taking a handy 3 lb off. Dayman is on a winning mark and needs keeping an eye on in the betting on his first outing for the in-form Dominic Ffrench Davis stable.

Impeach has his optimum conditions but the veteran MAMILLIUS looked ready to strike when finishing third here last week.

(2) Melakaz 5/1, 9/2, did well under the circumstances when fifth of 16 in handicap at Nottingham (14f, good), caught further back than ideal. Off 7 months. Thoroughly likeable sort who is definitely the type to win races this season.
Last three attempts on AW have resulted in wins; interesting back in this sphere.

LTO Selection:

18:45 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 14f Race Class Flow

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

1st place: 3.5/1 (3) CEDAR CAGE 2nd place: 5/1 (2) MELAKAZ 3rd place: 3.5/1 (6) WHAT WILL BE

Smokey Malone steps up in class following a game win over this trip at Southwell last month and can have a say in proceedings off 2lb higher, but recent course winner CEDAR CAGE is marginally preferred on this occasion. He has gone up 3lb for a comfortable success over 2m most recently and is fancied to land a double here, while Master Grey scored with some authority at Wolverhampton on his latest outing and is another to bear in mind.

MELAKAZ is a thoroughly likeable sort who is definitely the type to win more races this year. Robert Stephens' 5-y-o gets the vote to make a winning reappearance at the expense of What Will Be, who ran well on both outings at this venue last month and should be in the mix once again. Smokey Malone can fill out third spot.

The percentage call goes to WHAT WILL BE (nap), who is 2-2 over C&D. Cedar Cage is second choice ahead of Melakaz.

LTO Selection:

18:55 Tipperary Maiden Chase 24f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

1.2/1 (4) MAXXUM is likely to do well and has a good chance of finishing in 1st place. 14/1 (1) CLONMEEN and 2.5/1 (2) HUBRISKO are also worth considering and may finish in 2nd and 3rd place respectively.

MAXXUM might be able to take this on his debut over fences. He blitzed his rivals in big field, competitive handicaps at Navan and Leopardstown late last year, before disappointing at the Dublin Racing Festival when sent off favourite for a Grade B contest. He again failed to make a significant impact in the Pertemps at Cheltenham, but in much calmer waters now, he might return to the winners enclosure. Hubrisko is an interesting contender for Willie Mullins and is sure to prove popular with punters. He disappointed on his handicap debut over flights at Fairyhouse on Easter Sunday but was tried in Graded company prior to that, finishing fourth when favourite for a Grade 2 at Cheltenham in November. Walk Away has some classy form to his name and is well capable of winning this. However, he is returning from a two-year absence and is probably best watched for the time being. Dual point-to-point winner Clonmeen looks best of the rest.

Gordon Elliott's MAXXUM has enjoyed an excellent season over hurdles and is fancied to make a winning start in this sphere at the chief expense of fellow chasing newcomer Hubrisko, who remains with few miles on the clock. Walk Away has the form to play a part too if fully wound up after a long absence.

Although disappointing when one of the main Irish fancies for the Pertemps Final MAXXUM could make an immediate impact over fences

1st: 3/1 (4) BATTLE POINT 2nd: 1.63/1 (3) THEREHEGOES 3rd: 5.5/1 (2) GRANDFATHER TOM

THEREHEGOES (second) is 2lb well in having been narrowly denied by Perfect Symphony here eight days ago and, with the latter now competing under a 4lb penalty, it would be no surprise were he to reverse that form. A winner over C&D last month, Battle Point can mount another serious challenge, while Grandfather Tom, who drops back into 0-60 company, cannot be ruled out either.

THEREHEGOES went close over C&D last week and can go one better off the same mark. Grandfather Tom could strip fitter with last month's reappearance behind him and is a potentially dangerous opponent now dropping to a 0-60 for the first time. Last-time-out C&D scorer Battle Point is also unlikely to be far away.

Battle Point should give it another good go from stall 1 but GRANDFATHER TOM can capitalise on his career-low mark.

You Saw Brigadoon remains in good form and must be considered, along with Dabbous, who should appreciate the return to C&D having won here from 7lb lower last month, but a chance is taken on LADY D'ASCOYNE. The daughter of Showcasing displayed some promise on her debut at Goodwood last year, but her pedigree suggests she can take a marked step forward up in trip on this handicap bow.

YOU SAW BRIGADOON has shown improved form sent handicapping this year, gettng off the mark at Wolverhampton in March before bumping into a handicap debutante when runner-up last time. He remains unexposed at this longer distance and can resume winning ways, though Greek Giant and Churchill Rose are also open to progress and are feared most.

The vote goes to GREEK GIANT, who should build on his Nottingham effort. Dabbous is second choice.

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

First Place: 2.5/1 (2) SHANTOU SHOW Second Place: 8/1 (10) LAR'S LASS Third Place: 7/1 (1) GRANGE ISLAND

This has an open look to it, with ASIAN MASTER the suggestion for the father and son team of Tony and Tom Costello. A dual point-to-point winner, he finished second in a bumper at Cork on Easter Monday. Back over fences now and back up in trip, a bold bid looks likely from the son of Shirocco. The hat-trick seeking Shantou Show is an obvious danger. An easy winner on his racecourse debut at Downpatrick early last month, it'll come as a surprise if he is not involved towards the business end here. Pour Me A Double beat Ballydesmond by 14 lengths on his penultimate start at Tattersalls, with that one since successful at Down Royal on Monday. Trained by Willie Murphy, the Pour Moi gelding will be ridden by his wife Moira McElligott. The consistent Lar's Lass should give a good account of herself, while Grange Island is another capable of making his presence felt.

SHANTOU SHOW was off the mark at the second attempt in points and completed a successful chasing debut at Downpatrick a month ago. Despite moving yards since, he's fancied to go in again for all that Grange Island would be a big threat if back to the sort of form he showed when scoring at Clonmel in January. Asian Master is another one to consider.

Tony Costello may have the solution with ASIAN MASTER who probably surpassed his winning points form when second in a Cork bumper

1st: 1.25/1 (3) EDGE OF EMBER 2nd: 5.5/1 (1) FLOWER OF DUBAI 3rd: 2.75/1 (6) GRAND PROVIDENCE

The key to this race looks to be last month's clash between Flower Of Dubai (first) and GRAND PROVIDENCE (third) at Kempton. Andrew Balding's filly is 7lb better off here though and is duly taken to overturn that form with the extra furlong to suit. Runner-up on both career outings, Edge Of Ember can also have a say in proceedings.

EDGE OF EMBER has shaped well when runner-up on his first 2 outings and can make it third time lucky now stepping up to 1½m for the first time. Grand Providence was 1½ lengths behind the reopposing Flower of Dubai at Kempton but a 7 lb swing in the weights looks enough for her to turn the tables and she can give the selection most to think about.

Dual silver medallist EDGE OF EMBER sets the form standard. Grand Providence and Flower Of Dubai are open to progress.

Four-time 1m2f Lingfield winner; went close latest; still to prove as good elsewhere..

Reasonably consistent but others looks a bit better handicapped at present..
LTO Selection:

19:45 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, I would predict that 2.5/1 (1) BOASTY will do well and finish in 1st place. 2/1 (5) CAVALLUCCIO may finish in 2nd place, and 6.5/1 (3) MARION'S BOY could finish in 3rd place.

Boasty arrives in good form having notched up a brace of C&D wins recently, but a 6lb rise for the latest of those victories leaves him on a career-high mark and MAYFAIR GOLD is preferred. Alan King's charge scored on her second handicap start, winning at Southwell in January. It's unlikely she has reached the ceiling of her ability so a 4lb hike could prove lenient. Cavalluccio and Lenny's Spirit can battle it out for third.

CAVALLUCCIO has proved at least as good as ever this year, winning twice from his last 4 starts and finishing runner-up on the other 2 occasions, so he can score again in his current form with the return to 1m2f to suit. Boasty arrives bidding for a hat-trick and isn't taken lightly, with Mayfair Gold the pick of the remainder.

Several of these arrive in good form, none more so than BOASTY, who looked to have more up his sleeve last time and can win again.

19:55 Tipperary NH Flat Race 18f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

1st: 35/1 (3) DIXIES GIRL 2nd: 16/1 (1) ANNALECKA 3rd: 4/1 (8) MAJESTIC DESIGN

Eight of these have won in the point-to-point sphere, with MAJESTIC DESIGN the only dual winner in the line-up. A half-sister to a whole host of winners, she claimed the Gain Mares Final on her most recent start at Ballynoe. Pebble Bleu is a half-sister to Remastered, a seven-time winner in the UK for David Pipe. She shaped with promise to finish third on her debut at Rathcannon and should give a good account of herself here with Jamie Codd booked to ride. A case can be made for many others, with the Willie Mullins-trained Spindleberry a leading contender. She won on debut for Mark O'Hare at Dromahane in December, with subsequent winners in third and fourth. Terence O'Brien saddles Pitwood Road and Ma Bess, with this duo also successful on their respective debuts. Second in a similar contest at Cork on Easter Monday, Lucky Viv is another for the shortlist, while Dixies Girl, Annalecka and Iriskana are others to consider.

It's hard to equate the point form on offer but it's safe to assume SPLINDLEBERRY and Orinoco Flow will be well prepared for this given the yards the represent, with marginal preference for the former given she won between the flags.

Very hard to assess but MAJESTIC DESIGN has returned in excellent form of late in points' and gets the vote

Likely to do better now he's qualified for a mark and upped in trip.
LTO Selection:

20:05 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 2/1 (1) SOVEREIGN SPIRIT seems like the leading player and has the potential for better again. Therefore, it's predicted that 2/1 (1) SOVEREIGN SPIRIT will finish in 1st place. 0.73/1 (2) PLEDGEOFALLEGIANCE also has shown definite ability and is a likely improver, hence predicted to finish in 2nd place. For 3rd place, 12/1 (3) FISHING RIGHTS could be a contender as he is likely to do better now he's qualified for a mark and upped in trip, and is bred to be suited by this longer trip.

SOVEREIGN SPIRIT got off the mark in stylish fashion over C&D last week and a 6lb penalty for that win may not be enough to stop him going in again. This will only be the three-year-old's seventh career outing and he gets the vote ahead of handicap-debutant Pledgeofallegiance and Fishing Rights, who has plenty of potential on his first try at this distance.

SOVEREIGN SPIRT won nicely over C&D last week and is the percentage call with further improvement a possibility, although a strong market move for Sir Mark Prescott handicap newcomer Pledgeofallegiance would put a slightly different slant of things. Fishing Rights is another who could have more to offer now switching to handicaps.

Last week's C&D winner SOVEREIGN SPIRIT has the strongest form claims as things stand. Pledgeofallegiance is feared most.

LTO Selection:

20:15 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

First Place: 4/1 (7) THOMAS EQUINAS Second Place: 7.5/1 (11) NIVELLE'S MAGIC Third Place: 9/1 (1) COMPERE

COMPERE bounced back to form when finishing a close second over course and distance last month and he merits the utmost respect off the same mark here. Thomas Equinas has filled the runner-up position in both starts since winning here in March and is an obvious threat to the selection, while Arlo's Sunshine and The Waiting Game are others who deserve to feature on the shortlist.

Having opened his account at this course in March, THOMAS EQUINAS has continued in good form when runner-up both starts since and he looks ready to gain a first success in handicap company. The main danger could be Waleyfa who had excuses for a below-par effort last time, with Nivelle's Magic completing the shortlist.

A largely inconsistent bunch go to post and THOMAS EQUINAS is taken to score by maintaining his good recent form.

1st - 5/1 (10) QUARRY ROCCO 2nd - 22/1 (1) BITSNBUCKLES 3rd - 6.5/1 (15) THE OTHER MOZZIE

THE OTHER MOZZIE is in receipt of a weight allowance on account of his age and is in fact the only four-year-old in the line-up. A half-brother to My Mate Mozzie, he has two solid point-to-point efforts to his name, filling the runner-up spot on his most recent start at Kirkistown. He finished ahead of Rokathir there, with that one since successful at Rathcannon and sold for €110,000 at the Goffs Punchestown Sale last week. The Gavin Cromwell trained selection may appreciate this drop in trip and he will be ridden by Joey Dunne who claims a valuable 7lb. Keep Me Posted is a three-time point-to-point winner and should give a good account of himself with Emily Costello aboard for her uncle Thomas. He finished just a length-and-a-half behind Ultimate Optimist, twice successful on the track since, at Quakerstown in December. What's Up Darling was bought for £280,000 after winning a point-to-point in December. A beaten favourite when third on his debut for current connections at Cork on Easter Monday, it'll come as little surprise if he manages to go a few places better now. Others that warrant respect are Snow Punt, Quarry Rocco and Syracus De Houx.

KEEP ME POSTED is a multiple point winner who had plenty in hand on his latest outing in April and he's worth chancing to make a successful Rules debut at the possible expense of What's Up Darling, who was a respectable third in a bumper at Cork recently. The Other Mozzie and Quarry Rocco are also worthy of consideration.

What's Up Darling disappointed in a similar contest at Cork recently and preference is for triple points' scorer KEEP ME POSTED

Riot

7.5/1(+12%)
(4) Riot 7.5/1, Kempton novice winner for the Gosden yard at 2 yrs and some good form to his name last year, not least when third in a Royal Ascot handicap. Has made the frame on 2 of his 4 starts for new yard but he's not the easiest to win with and may need this outing.

(1) Tarrabb 1.38/1, Won 3 times last year, including over C&D on debut. 7/4, bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good) 7 months ago but fancied to get back on the up on just her second outing on the all-weather.

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

Based on the summary, it appears that 1.75/1 (3) WYVERN and 5.5/1 (2) SIR OLIVER have the best recent form and are likely contenders for the top spots. 1.75/1 (1) TARRABB has shown potential in the past but may need this race to get back into form. 6/1 (4) RIOT has some good past performances but may not be the easiest to win with. Therefore, a predicted order of finish could be: 1st - 1.75/1 (3) WYVERN 2nd - 5.5/1 (2) SIR OLIVER 3rd - 1.75/1 (1) TARRABB

WYVERN was only beaten a neck into second in a similar event over this track and trip a couple of weeks ago and the four-year-old gets the vote off just a 1lb higher mark. Sir Oliver was also narrowly denied on his most recent outing and that followed an encouraging effort here in March. Tarrabb won some competitive contests last season and she cannot be discounted on her return to action.

A tricky finale to solve despite the small field but WYVERN ran up to his best when foiled only by a 66/1 shot over C&D a fortnight ago and, now nudged up just 1 lb for that near miss, Stuart Williams' charge can notch a fourth career success. The returning Tarrabb shades the vote for the forecast spot over Sir Oliver.

Tarrabb is respected despite her lack of recent match practice. However, a solid alternative is the in-form WYVERN.

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.
