1st (4) Raqisa (4.5/1 +10%)
Raqisa

4.5/1(+10%)
(4) Raqisa 4.5/1, Winner at Thirsk for Jedd O'Keeffe in August 2021. No impact over hurdles for this yard earlier in the year but more like it when fourth at Doncaster on Saturday.
Better run in first-time blinkers for Ryan Kavanagh on Saturday gave something to build on.

2nd (6) Habanero Star (6.5/1 -44%)
Habanero Star

6.5/1(-44%)
(6) Habanero Star 6.5/1, Won 4 times during a productive 2022 and latest win at Southwell in March. Fifth of 8 in handicap at this course (10.1f, good, 5/1) 22 days ago, too free early. Cheekpieces left off.
Has three wins and three seconds to her name in 11 course starts; needs to settle better.

3rd (5) Daaris (3.33/1 -33%)
Daaris

3.33/1(-33%)
(5) Daaris 3.33/1, Bit below form fifth of 14 in handicap at Doncaster (11.9f, soft, 12/1) 25 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time and sounder surface may help his cause.
Maybe soft going wasn't ideal last time; too soon to write him off in first-time headgear.
4
4th (2) Crafter (12/1 +14%)
Crafter

12/1(+14%)
(2) Crafter 12/1, 17/2 and cheekpieces on for first time, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, heavy) 53 days ago. Doesn't look straightforward.
Has struggled this year, latterly when pulling hard in cheekpieces (off today) latest.
5th
5th (3) Alpha King (1.62/1 +57%)
Alpha King

1.62/1(+57%)
(3) Alpha King 1.62/1, C&D winner. Irresolute performer. Last of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 14/1), downed tools. Off 177 days. Opposable despite dropping mark.
Goes well fresh and is 6lb lower than when making all over C&D last June; player.
6th
6th (7) Tradesman (8.5/1 -70%)
Tradesman

8.5/1(-70%)
(7) Tradesman 8.5/1, Seventh of 10 in novice event (80/1) at Wolverhampton (12.2f). Off 7 months. Makes handicap debut and may improve, but he certainly needs to.
Well related and went for 130,000gns as a yearling; is the one to track in the market.
7th
7th (1) Arab Cinder (25/1 -39%)
Arab Cinder

25/1(-39%)
(1) Arab Cinder 25/1, Last of 9 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, heavy, 25/1) 26 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time but she's still unproven on turf.
Yet to offer anything for her new yard; first-time headgear needs to make the difference.
LTO Selection:

14:00 Yarmouth Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Many of these need to improve on what they've shown recently, so a chance can be taken on TRADESMAN. David Simcock's charge finished down the field in a trio of novice events last year, but it would be no surprise were the son of Mastercraftsman to take a step forward now switched to handicaps from a potentially workable mark. Habanero Star and Raqisa can battle it out for the minor money.

DAARIS has yet to win a race but this lightly-raced 4-y-o still appeals as having a bigger performance in him, particularly away from soft ground and with cheekpieces fitted for the first time, he could be the way to go. Habanero Star and Raqisa head the opposition.

Preference is for ALPHA KING, who goes well fresh and is 6lb lower than when winning here last June. Watch Tradesman in the market.

1
1st (7) Our Scholar (1/1 +9%)
Our Scholar

1/1(+9%)
(7) Our Scholar 1/1, Fair Flat winner who found only one too good on second hurdles start at Southwell last month. Unlucky third at Worcester since, meeting all sorts of problems, and this step up in trip looks a good move. Leading claims.
Has gone close in two recent 2m maidens and today's longer trip ought to suit.

2nd (3) Moytier (40/1 -186%)
Moytier

40/1(-186%)
(3) Moytier 40/1, Fair form when placed both starts over hurdles in France in 2020/21 but, after 23 months off, he's been well below that level in a trio of starts for current yard this year.
Placed over hurdles in France in 2021 but safely held in recent, low-grade handicap.

3rd (1) Dj Pete (1.75/1 +50%)
Dj Pete

1.75/1(+50%)
(1) Dj Pete 1.75/1, Malinas gelding who showed fair form in bumpers and definite promise despite jumping none too fluently when fifth in a Doncaster maiden (2.8f) in January. Shade disappointing at Lingfield a month later but he's expected to step up on that.
Good fifth on hurdling debut in January but his next run was a backward step.
4
4th (4) San Fermin (7/1 -40%)
San Fermin

7/1(-40%)
(4) San Fermin 7/1, Half-brother to useful chaser Billaway and, having won a bumper, made a pleasing start to his hurdling career when third in a novice at Stratford in June 2021. Off 16 months and limited impact both starts since but a wind op coupled with a tongue tie may help.
Ran okay in February, after a long layoff, but not in same form last time; had wind op.
|PU|

Mistral Nell

10/1(-33%)
(6) Mistral Nell 10/1, Cheekpieces on for first time when good second of 4 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (17.7f) in April. Weakened tamely at Warwick and her profile has a patchy look to it.
Sound effort when second in small-field handicap last month but well beaten since.
|PU|
|PU| (2) Idols's Eye (40/1 -122%)
Idols's Eye

40/1(-122%)
(2) Idols's Eye 40/1, Presumably very hard to train given his fleeting appearances and finished lame when last seen under Rules in December 2021. Did finish third in a point at beginning of the year.
Placed over hurdles in 2021 but didn't achieve much when third in a point in January.
LTO Selection:

14:10 Warwick Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 19f Race Class Flow

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

OUR SCHOLAR has been threatening to gain a breakthrough success in this sphere of late and the step up from 2m could do the trick. Dj Pete failed to build on an encouraging hurdling debut at Doncaster when beaten a long way at Lingfield, but better is expected in this weaker contest. San Fermin needs a recent wind procedure to get him back on track but he completes the shortlist.

OUR SCHOLAR was probably an unlucky loser at Worcester 16 days ago given how strong he was at the finish having encountered a troubled passage, and in receipt of weight all round, he has a lot going for him. Better is expected of Dj Pete back from a break, with San Fermin a potential improver with a tongue tie on having had a breathing operation.

The most obvious answer is OUR SCHOLAR, who has been involved in two tight finishes over 2m this spring and can improve over this trip.

£40,000 (breeze-up) 2yo; Soldier's Call half-sister to six winners; market helpful.
LTO Selection:

14:20 Ayr Maiden (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

The market should prove informative in this race full of newcomers, with a tentative vote going to JEHANGEER. Kevin Ryan's colt is a brother to dual Group 1-winning sprinter Hello Youmzain and he will take some stopping if he has inherited even a fraction of that ability. Army Ethos ticks plenty of boxes and could prove the chief threat, more so given his trainer's respectable strike-rate at the course, with Dingwall making most appeal of the remainder.

The betting could be key but on paper ARMY ETHOS, 78,000 gns Breeze-Ups purchase Mushterek and Jehangeer make most appeal.

Judged on breeding and other factors, the most interesting contenders are JEHANGEER, Army Ethos and Mushterek.

(10) Moonlit Cloud 3/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. 8/1, career best when winning 5-runner handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy) 12 days ago. Expected to be bang there.
Back to form when beating a stablemate on heavy ground recently; 2lb rise for that is fair.

Interesting to see how he goes in the market now handicapping after five months off.
LTO Selection:

14:35 Yarmouth Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

MOONLIT CLOUD sprung a minor shock when winning at Nottingham 12 days ago, an effort for which she was subsequently raised 2lb in the ratings. The daughter of Sea The Moon seems versatile regarding ground conditions and she may be able to go in again. Flower Of Thunder already has three C&D victories on her CV and must be of interest back here, while Delphi Dreamer is worth monitoring in the betting ahead of his handicap bow.

MOONLIT CLOUD had more in hand than the margin suggests at Nottingham so can defy a 2 lb rise. At Liberty looks ready to strike soon so is feared most ahead of Cavalluccio.

Jean Danjou has potential but HOTSPUR HARRY (nap) looks the most solid option, back up to his optimum trip off his lower turf mark.

Freshened up since. First-time cheekpieces replace the visor worn last time.

Already struggling before falling at fifth flight on handicap debut in January; off since.
LTO Selection:

14:45 Warwick Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

HIM MALAYA may well have won on his handicap debut at Ludlow but for jumping out to his left, and Paul Nicholls' four-year-old is of strong interest now turned out again quickly. Pak Army has proven a different proposition since being refitted with blinkers and he must not be taken lightly, despite a 13lb rise for his Newton Abbot romp, since when he has won easily on the level. The unexposed Allihies likely has more to offer now given a mark and Dan Skelton's charge can't be ruled out either.

The Paul Nicholls-trained HIM MALAYA took a step forward when runner-up on his recent Ludlow handicap debut and is taken to build on that and open his account now. Dan Skelton handicap newcomer Allihies and Pak Army, who has found a new lease of life since refitted with blinkers, are the obvious dangers.

Pak Army and Him Malaya both have good claims but talented Flat-racer ALLIHIES is open to significant improvement over hurdles

LTO Selection:

14:55 Ayr Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

This can go the way of FREEDOM FLYER, who must hold every chance if building upon a strong runner-up effort over C&D earlier in the month. Ruth Carr's charge gets in here off an unchanged mark and he is preferred to the likes of Giselles Izzy and Kraken Power, who has been in consistent form on the all-weather this year and may be able to continue that back on turf.

FREEDOM FLYER travelled really powerfully when second in a more competitive race than this over C&D last time and can resume winning ways. Kraken Power arrives on the back of a good spell on AW and is feared most ahead of Iain Jardine's Giselles Izzy.

On current form, the most solid contenders are FREEDOM FLYER, Kraken Power and Giselles Izzy in that order of preference.

LTO Selection:

15:10 Yarmouth Stakes (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow

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

With little form in the book, the market is likely to reveal some clues, but preference is for STATE OF DESIRE. Charlie Appleby was just touched off in this race last year, but his representative, a well-bred son of the imperious Frankel, appears to hold all the correct attributes to see him go one better. Mart and El Bodon make plenty of appeal on paper and both must be considered, while American Tale looks the pick of those with experience.

This is likely to be dominated by the newcomers with expensive Frankel yearling STATE OF DESIRE the obvious one on paper. Mart is bred to be sharp, while Khamsin proved popular at the Breeze-Ups.

Some interesting newcomers in here, headed by 400,000gns yearling STATE OF DESIRE and the well-related Mart.

LTO Selection:

15:20 Warwick Handicap Chase (Class 5) 26f Race Class Flow

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

POTTLERATH won a shade cosily at Worcester earlier in the month and he looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to complete a double, despite a 7lb rise. Dorado Dollar arrives in good heart having finished runner-up on his last two appearances, but he's 5lb out of the handicap here. With that in mind, Marettimo, who shaped better than the beaten distance when third at Ludlow recently, may prove the bigger threat.

POTTLERATH has progressed with each run over fences and is taken to defy a 7 lb rise having scored with a bit in hand at Worcester. Ecossais is potentially on a good mark on his belated return so is next best ahead of Marettimo.

Still on a workable mark after last month's Ludlow success, MARETTIMO was not discredited when third there a fortnight ago.

Largely progressive over 1m2f; goes well fresh; interesting on return from break.
LTO Selection:

15:30 Ayr Listed (Class 1) 10f Race Class Flow

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

PINK CARNATION (second) had Crystal Caprice (fifth) well behind on her first start of the season in the Nottinghamshire Oaks, which was much improved form than she had shown prior, suggesting she has taken a big step forward over the winter. The daughter of Territories is fancied to cope with these quicker conditions and go one better. Al Husn will find this an easier assignment than the Dahlia at Newmarket, where she was a six-length second, and she is expected to mount another bold bid.

Roger Varian can win this again with progressive filly AL HUSN. She won a red-hot Newmarket handicap on her final start last term and resumed with a cracking effort in a Group 2 there. Back down in grade here she has obvious claims. Makinmedoit has a race like this in her and is feared most ahead of Sir Michael Stoute's Crystal Caprice.

The drop back in class gives the advantage to AL HUSN (nap). Makinmedoit, another progressive sort, is feared most.

LTO Selection:

15:40 Yarmouth Maiden (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

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

A costly purchase from the recent Tattersalls Craven Breeze-Ups, JIWIN could be primed to strike on debut for an in-form yard, which has unleashed some smart two-year-olds at this track in recent years. Similar comments apply to newcomer Mantra, with William Buick booked for the ride, while Zoumoon is another to note for the shrewd James Ferguson stable. Of those who have racecourse experience, Phoenix Duchess stands out after a somewhat promising debut at Newmarket.

No surprise were newcomers to come to the fore here, with JIWIN, who presumably breezed well given her sales prices shot up, just about the pick representing the Gosden team. Mantra has the services of William Buick and she's a likely type, along with Mirroring.

The Gosden's first 2yo runner of 2023, JIWIN, is a likely type. Mantra is perhaps most interesting of George Boughey's trio.

LTO Selection:

15:50 Warwick Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

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

CHAOS CONTROL was far from disgraced in sixth in the Grade 1 juvenile hurdle at the Grand National meeting and he may have been let in lightly on his handicap debut. Izayte justified strong support when gaining a first career success at Warwick at the start of the month, with a 6lb rise unlikely to prevent another bold bid. For Pleasure has been tumbling down the ratings and a four-month absence may have freshened the Grade 2 winner up.

IZAYTE upped his game to score over C&D last time and, with more to come, he looks the way to go in a fairly open-looking handicap. Chaos Control is a big danger dropping back in grade and Bombyx deserves respect having shaped as if back in form at Ludlow earlier in the month.

Chaos Control is respected but recent C&D winner IZAYTE may still have further improvement to come.

Disappointing over C&D last time but has a respectable record here otherwise.
LTO Selection:

16:00 Ayr Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Star Shield regained the winning thread when registering a clear-cut verdict in a small-field C&D handicap, but he doesn't have nearly as much scope for improvement as MOUNTBATTEN. Archie Watson's gelding built on a decent Brighton comeback when successful at Doncaster, and the rise from 7f should see him in an even better light. Ventura Rascal and Circles are interesting, with Hortzadar, Wadacre Grace and Flylikeaneagle all better than they showed last time.

David O'Meara holds a strong hand, with HORTZADAR taken to build on his promising reappearance at the second time of asking and deny Star Shield a C&D double. Lambourn raider Mountbatten looks best of the remainder.

Back down in grade and returned to Ayr, YAASER could well come back to winning form. Mountbatten is feared most.

(4) Sulochana 9/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Below form eighth of 14 in handicap at Doncaster (11.9f, soft, 20/1) 25 days ago. Dropped to a handy mark.
Generally struggled under both codes for this yard; is some way down the pecking order.

Back in form at Catterick last week; won't mind the step back up in trip; shortlisted.
7th
7th (5) Vienna Girl (5.5/1 +39%)

Bumper winner last summer; the hood goes back on today and she's a player dropped 2lb.
8th
8th (6) Testing Faith (3.33/1 +17%)
Testing Faith

3.33/1(+17%)
(6) Testing Faith 3.33/1, 10/1, good fourth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (16.5f) 36 days ago, faring best of those held up. Drop back in trip probably in his favour so one to be interested in back on turf.
Wasn't suited by the way the race panned out latest; will be popular under William Buick.

Lacks consistency and it's been a while since he ran well on turf; headgear off again.
10th
10th (8) Roaring River (40/1 -43%)
Roaring River

40/1(-43%)
(8) Roaring River 40/1, Visored for first time, sixth of 8 in handicap (20/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 13 days ago, slowly away. Significantly up in trip.
Goes beyond 1m2f for the first time and needs to improve for the stiffer test.
LTO Selection:

16:10 Yarmouth Handicap (Class 6) 14f Race Class Flow

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

Narrowly denied at Catterick last time out, PURPLE REIGN must hold every chance if building on that effort, and the step up in trip should aid his cause. Ed Dunlop's charge has dropped 1lb below his last winning mark and he is fancied to see off the likes of Testing Faith and Smokey Malone, who has strong claims on his penultimate success at Southwell.

TESTING FAITH is a long-standing maiden but this looks his ideal trip and with William Buick taking over, this would be his chance to open his account. Purple Reign is more reliable than most at this level, with Smokey Malone another to consider.

Purple Reign and Testing Faith are a combined 1-30 and worth taking on with bumper winner VIENNA GIRL, who had excuses latest.

Light N Strike

3.33/1(+17%)
(3) Light N Strike 3.33/1, Fairly useful winning hurdler/chaser who showed plenty of zest on back of 6 months off when runner-up at Kempton (18f) 4 weeks ago, jumping soundly and weakening only late on. Not underestimated from this sort of mark with that under his belt.
Ran well in defeat last month, after a layoff, and today's quicker ground is a plus.

Irish challenger; creditable fifth at last month's Punchestown festival; considered.

Hatcher

(5) Hatcher 10/1, Record has become distinctly patchy and, having halted the slide to an extent when third at Ascot on his penultimate start, he was in nothing like the same form in the Red Rum at Aintree later last month. This less demanding if he can bounce back at least.
Struggled in major handicap last month but his Ascot third two runs ago was a good effort.

(6) Only Money 5/1, Bumper/4-time winner over fences (at around 2m) and he shaped encouragingly on back of 4 months off when fourth behind re-opposing Mercian Prince at Kempton 23 days ago. Not underestimated with that under his belt despite operating from out of the weights.
Travelled strongly for a long way at Kempton last month; 6lb wrong here but not ruled out.
5th
5th (2) Mercian Prince (5/1 -11%)
Mercian Prince

5/1(-11%)
(2) Mercian Prince 5/1, Veteran campaigner who enhanced his fine Kempton record on the back of 7 months off when landing an 18f handicap 23 days ago under a typically fluent front-running display. Bit more on his plate from 3 lb higher but he's clearly returned in rude health.
Front-running veteran; looked in excellent nick at Kempton this month, after a break.
6th
6th (1) Saint Calvados (1.75/1 +22%)
Saint Calvados

1.75/1(+22%)
(1) Saint Calvados 1.75/1, C&D winner. One-time top-class chaser who opened his account for Paul Nicholls in Grade 2 company at Sandown 13 months ago. Failed to fire in 3 starts during the winter but stopped the slide when third in listed handicap at Ayr (20.5f) 5 weeks ago. In the mix again from 1 lb lower mark.
High-class chaser in his prime and good third in Ayr handicap last month; respected.
LTO Selection:

16:20 Warwick Handicap Chase (Class 2) 16f Race Class Flow

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

MERCIAN PRINCE held on by half a length to make all at Kempton and he has only been raised 3lb. Amy Murphy's veteran looks to have conditions in his favour once more and he can make it a double. Saint Calvados was beaten under a length into third over an extended 2m4f at Ayr's Scottish National fixture and looks dangerous stepping back down in distance off 1lb lower. Light N Strike is much less exposed and could also have a say.

Intriguing fare despite the small field with a chance taken on former C&D winner SAINT CALVADOS. He confirmed he still has plenty to offer when third in an Ayr listed handicap 33 days ago and can make his presence felt back down in trip from an easing mark. Light N Strike and Only Money are a couple of others to consider.

After a creditable fifth in a hot 2m handicap at Punchestown last month, ESPION DU CHENET can make the journey from Ireland worthwhile.

This drop in grade may prompt some sort of revival; won off 10lb higher last June.

Nicely treated; goes well fresh; interesting on return from four-month layoff.
7th

Shabaaby

Ran well over C&D two starts ago but inconsistency has become a trait.
8th
8th (8) Sixcor (9/1 -20%)
Sixcor

(8) Sixcor 9/1, Three-time C&D winner. Presumably needed the outing when sixth of 7 on C&D reappearance (good to firm) 20 days ago. Likely to make more of an impact this time.
All wins over C&D but they came off lower marks in Class 6.
LTO Selection:

16:30 Ayr Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

SHABAABY was not beaten far when third over course and distance two starts ago and his most recent effort at Catterick over 6f suggested that a return to the minimum trip would suit. Modular Magic was not at his best last time but he should not be underestimated in this company, while Lockdown has to be of some interest on his debut for new connections. The shortlist is completed by Be Proud and Mr Beaufort.

MUKER was running on when cut off towards the rail late on at Pontefract last time and might be worth chancing having dipped to a mark in the 60s. Be Proud ran quite encouragingly on his C&D reappearance a couple of weeks ago and is second choice ahead of Sixcor.

There are a few positives for MODULAR MAGIC, who gets the vote. Second choice Muker.

Goes well fresh but he lost his way early in the year and has to bounce back.

9th

The Spotlight Kid

2/1(+40%)
(8) The Spotlight Kid 2/1, C&D winner. Eighth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 10/1) 21 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and he should be spot on for this.
Currently 2-2 on turf, both over C&D last autumn; player back on turf/in the cheekpieces.
LTO Selection:

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

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

The value may lie with THE SPOTLIGHT KID, whose two career wins came over C&D last year and his recent effort at Kempton should have put him spot on for this assignment. The hat-trick seeking Dark Side Thunder arrives in excellent form from the all-weather, while Covert Mission is another key player despite having never won on turf. Sharvara and Thapa VC can also have a say in proceedings.

THE SPOTLIGHT KID defends an unbeaten C&D record and with an AW run minus headgear 3 weeks ago likely to put him spot on for this, he has a lot to recommend him. Dark Side Thunder is a big threat if he's as effective on turf, along with Covert Mission.

The Spotlight Kid is 2-2 on turf, both over C&D, but a chance is taken on SECRET STRENGTH, who's fairly treated now.

LTO Selection:

16:50 Warwick Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow

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

SALLEY GARDENS outran his odds when beaten less than two lengths into third at Kempton, for which he was put up 1lb. The Olly Murphy-trained seven-year-old is fancied to take another step forward to score, with Lewis Stones claiming 3lb to further aid his chances. Last-time-out Fakenham winner Way Out returns to the handicapping ranks and has to be considered, while Cluain Aodha has been holding her form quite well and is another to consider.

Back over hurdles after 8 months off, SALLEY GARDENS ran up to his best when third at Kempton and he can build on that effort to return to winning ways with the usual cheekpieces reapplied. Course-winner Cluain Aodha was soon back to form when runner-up last time and is feared most, ahead of Future Investment.

Placed over an inadequate 2m in a recent chase, THE BIG LENSE (nap) looks very interesting off today's 13lb lower hurdle mark.

LTO Selection:

17:00 Ayr Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

A ready winner over C&D 16 days ago, it looks best to side with the unexposed MORNING SUN. The son of Muhaarar appeared to relish the switch to front-running tactics on that occasion and a similar showing here could see him defy a 6lb rise in the handicap. Irish raider Theophilos appeals as his main danger following last month's Tipperary success, while Innse Gall heads the remainder, although Zarabanda should not be underestimated.

MORNING SUN had a bit in hand when striking at the second time of asking for the Keith Dalgleish stable here 16 days ago and can make light of a 4 lb rise. Zarabanda shaped quite encouragingly in a competitive Hamilton handicap on her recent reappearance and is feared most ahead of Irish raider Theophilos.

Irish challenger THEOPHILOS did it nicely at Tipperary last month and is taken to follow up, although Morning Sun is a danger.

LTO Selection:

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

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

Perfect Gentleman struck over C&D last month by a length in this grade and he boasts leading claims off a 4lb higher mark, but a chance can be taken on KIMNKATE. The three-year-old filly makes her return to action and, if able to reproduce the form of her run over C&D in December, with the second and third winning since, she should go very close. Mr Boson is worth a second look on his handicap bow.

LARRSEN was well backed and scored readily at Bath recently, so he's fancied to go in again. Perfect Gentleman is 2 from 2 over C&D and looks a big threat, while Double Down should give his running once more.

Congruent can go well but PERFECT GENTLEMAN (nap) has already won two C&D handicaps and looked better than this grade last time.

Ran okay on handicap debut but improvement needed to make an impact here.
LTO Selection:

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

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

Waleyfa merits plenty of respect given her recent all-weather victories but her turf form is not as strong and that has to be a concern. With that in mind, preference is for GIRL INTHE PICTURE, who is only 1lb above her last winning mark and should improve for her recent seasonal return. Others to note are Thomas Equinas and Anglo Saxson.

The thriving WALEYFA had more in hand than the margin suggests when scoring at Wolverhampton 12 days ago so looks up to completing the hat-trick. Thomas Equinas is next best ahead of Mudlahhim.

The mare WALEYFA has won three times on the AW since joining Alice Haynes and is worth another chance on turf.

In good form last summer/autumn but seven-month break may have checked his momentum.
LTO Selection:

17:20 Warwick Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 25f Race Class Flow

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

Presenting Yeats recorded a double when last seen in October, but he only had one rival to beat on his most recent effort and could come out second best here to BUTLER'S BRIEF. The eight-year-old has top weight to contend with but he has been dropped 1lb for a Warwick defeat, which puts him on his last winning mark. Grace A Vous Enki has been freshened up following an encouraging Doncaster third and is another to consider.

Milton Harris has his string in good order at present and his PRESENTING YEATS gets the vote to pick up from where he left off last autumn and complete the hat-trick. Grace A Vous Enki has looked a tricky customer, but there were more encouraging signs at Doncaster 3 months ago and he may emerge as the main threat. Grillon de Monty and Butler's Brief can fight out third spot.

Another chance to GRILLON DE MONTY, who flopped over C&D recently but produced a good performance at Huntingdon last month.

LTO Selection:

17:30 Ayr Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Successful over C&D last July, SHINE ON BRENDAN has been knocking on the door of late with a pair of runner-up efforts and this looks like an ideal opportunity for him to get back to winning ways. Hostelry arrives with similar claims and can give him the most to think about, along with Rogue Force, who has dropped down to a very attractive mark.

HOSTELRY goes off the same mark as when second at Musselburgh at the beginning of last week and may be up to going one better now. Shine On Brendan is another who arrives on the back of a creditable runner-up effort in recent days and should figure again. The returning Esticky End won on his 2022 reappearance and is another to consider, particularly if the betting vibes are strong.

Judged on his last two efforts SHINE ON BRENDAN looks a particularly solid option. Hostelry is second choice.

Stable debut wasn't bad but he's not built on it twice since; now tried in a hood.
LTO Selection:

17:40 Kempton Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

DISCRETION was sent off at 12/1 for the Sandringham at Royal Ascot when last seen, which suggests a better performance was expected. The daughter of Dubawi has only had five starts and she could have much more to come this year for the Harry & Roger Charlton stable. The main threat might be Just Amber, who struck by just under two lengths at Lingfield last time and has to be considered off a 5lb higher mark. Of the remainder, Two Tempting makes some appeal.

Plenty arrive with claims, and it could just pay to take a chance on TAHITIAN PRINCE. A 3-time winner over C&D, he wasn't seen to best effect on his latest outing on turf and now operating 5 lb below his last winning mark, it would come as no surprise to see him go well. Two Tempting shaped better than the bare result on his latest outing and is feared from a handy draw. Low-mileage 4-y-o Discretion is another to consider.

The return to Kempton may see TWO TEMPTING gain his second C&D win. The well-handicapped Tahitian Prince could follow him home.

LTO Selection:

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

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

BRILLIANT BLUE seemed to have benefitted from a wind operation when second over a mile at Brighton earlier in the month, and he could take some stopping off the same mark here. The consistent Spanish Mane also hit the crossbar on her most recent outing and she could prove to be the main danger. That said, Chagall and Revolutionary Man should not be underestimated.

It could be worth chancing FREE STEP, who starts out for a new yard on a potentially handy mark. Brilliant Blue is feared most with Buick an eye-catching booking, with Spanish Mane best of the others.

This revolves around REVOLUTIONARY MAN, who's 10lb lower than when winning on the AW last time. Brilliant Blue is next best.

Maiden hurdle winner over this trip/ground; well held on recent chasing debut (soft)..

Weakened out of both starts since September 2020; trip/ground fine but plenty to prove..
LTO Selection:

17:50 Southwell Handicap Chase (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Having been well supported ahead of his fencing bow a week ago, LIVELY CITIZEN made no mistake at Perth, winning with a bit in hand. The unexposed chaser must carry a 7lb penalty, but that's unlikely to pose an issue if arriving in the same form. Begin The Luck's winning run came to an end at Newton Abbot, but he remains in good form and must be respected. Visored for the first time, Spanish Present appeals as the pick of the remainder.

A likeable sort over hurdles, LIVELY CITIZEN made the perfect start over fences when landing a 6-runner Perth handicap 7 days ago, jumping fine and quickening to lead close home. He gets the nod to follow up under a penalty, with fellow in-form rival Begin The Luck next best. Spanish Present also shouldn't be written off just yet, now connections reach for the first-time visor.

A chance is taken on FULL OF LIGHT jumping straighter in the headgear and accounting for last week's Perth winner Lively Citizen.

LTO Selection:

18:10 Kempton Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

SPARKLIGHT (second) had Forever A Diamond (fifth) behind when denied by five lengths over 5f at this track on her racecourse bow, and it's likely she would have learned a lot from her first outing. The daughter of Cable Bay could be the one to beat with normal improvement. Any market support for Lincoln Legacy should be noted, with Oisin Murphy booked on debut.

SPARKLIGHT shaped well here on debut and didn't have a hard time, so she's likely to improve enough to open her account at the second attempt. Lincoln Legacy is the pick of the newcomers and Fistral Beach is also worthy of consideration.

It was a good start to SPARKLIGHT's career when she finished second over 5f here two weeks ago and she can go one better today.

LTO Selection:

18:20 Southwell Handicap Chase (Class 4) 26f Race Class Flow

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

Gats And Co bolted up from this mark at Ffos Las just under a year ago and, down in class, he merits the utmost respect but preference is still for JAYTEE. Only narrowly denied here on his latest outing, Ian Williams' charge can make amends and go one better from an unaltered handicap rating. Breizh Alko may show more now reverting to fences, though he needs to bounce back having been pulled up at Uttoxeter.

JAYTEE ran well when runner-up here recently and a performance of similar merit should be enough for him to go one better at the likely expense of Gats And Co. Breizh Alko is another one to consider.

A close second here nine days ago, JAYTEE almost picks himself if over those exertions. Zoffalee may yet prove next best.

LTO Selection:

18:40 Kempton Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

ONE MORE WAVE may have found that the 1m distance at Goodwood on heavy ground stretched his stamina, and a reproduction of his penultimate second over C&D would give him leading claims. Another Thought gained a breakthrough success at Lingfield earlier in the month and she isn't taken lightly, despite carrying a 7lb penalty in this contest. Southwell runner-up Trip To Rome could emerge as the chief threat.

ONE MORE WAVE seemed to find the 1m trip on testing ground taxing his stamina at Goodwood 18 days ago yet, with the form of his previous second in a C&D novice having been boosted, he's well worth another chance to get back on the up. Trip to Rome fared better than previously when second at Southwell and is feared, along with newcomer Timely Escape. Lingfield-scorer Another Thought should also give a good account.

Having been a good second over C&D last month, ONE MORE WAVE is the selection ahead of Southwell runner-up Trip To Rome.

LTO Selection:

18:50 Southwell Handicap Chase (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

HERE WE HAVE IT showed up for a long way over an extended 2m4f here last month before fading late on. With that in mind, he may be worth taking a chance on dropped in trip, though Noahthirtytwored ought to provide a stern challenge on the back of a Worcester second. Sir Tivo has the ability to go well, while the consistent Sea Prince can't be ruled out either.

NOAHTHIRTYTWORED is a likeable type who remains of interest over fences after his good second at Worcester on only his third start in this sphere. Sir Tivo has had excuses of late so rates a threat, while Here We Have It took a step back in the right direction here last month.

Noahthirtytwored is respected but preference is for SIR TIVO, who is on a dangerous mark back over fences and is 2-3 over C&D.

LTO Selection:

19:10 Kempton Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Glory Sky posted an improved effort when runner-up at Wetherby last Tuesday and she looks capable of winning at this level now switching to the all-weather. Preference, however, is for KITTEN GLOVES, who shaped as if she would relish this stiffer test after running on to finish second at Wolverhampton over 6f earlier in the month. Kracking needs to put his slow start at Southwell behind him, but it's too soon to write him off.

KITTEN GLOVES shaped well on debut and might only need to reproduce that sort of performance to open her account now fitted with a tongue tie. Glory Sky is the biggest threat on form but Kracking should improve, so he's another one to bear in mind.

There is precious little depth to this novice and it presents an excellent opportunity for KITTEN GLOVES to go one better.

(2) Reggae De Baune 2.75/1, Spanish Moon gelding who made some appeal on paper but ran to just a poor level when fifth of 9 in bumper (5/1) at Carlisle (17f, soft) a couple of months ago, not ideally placed the way the race developed. Could leave that effort behind.

Well held at 200-1 at Newcastle in February and remains best watched for now.
LTO Selection:

19:20 Southwell NH Flat Race (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

A half-brother to a couple of useful performers, including a Listed winner who struck on debut, CLIMBING looks the one to be with for a stable capable of readying one first time out. Strutter disappointed when going off favourite on his introduction at Warwick but better can be expected here, while similar comments apply to Reggae De Baune for the in-form Donald McCain team.

STRUTTER was given a considerate introduction when finishing mid-field at Warwick last month and with improvement on the cards, Nicky Henderson's 4-y-o gets the verdict to come out on top now fitted with a hood. Reggae de Baune was up against it the way the race developed at Carlisle on debut so he may emerge as the main danger, ahead of Jamie Snowdon's newcomer Climbing.

4yo STRUTTER shaped with promise when favourite in a big field at Warwick last month and he's a key player for his top yard.

LTO Selection:

19:40 Kempton Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

SOLAR ORBITER looked one to follow after another impressive display at Kempton in September, and Roger Varian's colt could make light work of his opening mark in handicaps. The progressive Shades Of Summer returned to winning ways when triumphing over 7f at Chelmsford last month and she may have more to offer over this distance, while Sayifyouwill is noted too.

SOLAR ORBITER was 2 from 2 last season and has the scope for a lot more improvement as a 4-y-o, so he's a confident choice to maintain his unbeaten record at the likely expense of With Respect, who arrives in top form. Shades of Summer is another one to consider.

Solar Orbiter will be popular but SAYIFYOUWILL is still improving and she can gain her fifth course success.

LTO Selection:

19:50 Southwell Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

A decent performer on the level, MYRISTICA didn't have much issue with the switch to hurdles when narrowly denied at Worcester earlier in the month. The daughter of Harzand must hold every chance if building upon that effort and she should have too much for Three Macks and Night On The Town, who was running with credit when falling at the last on her jumping bow at Warwick.

This looks a decent opportunity for MYRISTICA to go one place better than on her Worcester hurdle debut earlier this month. Night On The Town, who would have been placed but for falling at the last on hurdle debut, and Jamie Snowden's Phone Home can fight it out for the forecast spot.

Flat recruit MYRISTICA is taken to step up on her Worcester hurdling debut second, with improvement likely also from Phone Home.

LTO Selection:

20:10 Kempton Handicap (Class 3) 12f Race Class Flow

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

SHOCKWAVES created a big impression when winning easily over a mile at Lingfield a couple of weeks ago. The unexposed four-year-old has to overcome a 12lb rise in the ratings and a significant step up in trip, but it would be no surprise to see him add another victory to his record here. Cemhaan disappointed on his return to action at Newmarket recently but it is far too soon to be writing him off. Others to note are Barenboim, Balhambar and Protected Guest.

BALHAMBAR was progressive as a 3-y-o and, while an 11-month absence (has been gelded) suggests there may have been some issues, he's still worth a chance to make a successful reappearance up against mostly more exposed types. Recent Lingfield winner Shockwaves looks a danger if he stays the longer trip and Protected Guest can't be ruled out.

If Shockwaves stays he will prove hard to beat but BALHAMBAR still has potential and is interesting on his seasonal return.

LTO Selection:

20:20 Southwell Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow

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

COCONUT TWIST filled second place over an extended 2m5f at Fontwell a couple of weeks ago and the step up in trip could help him to go one better here. Callisto's King remains unexposed and the application of first-time cheekpieces could bring about a career best from the six-year-old. Others who make the shortlist are Secret Trix, Western Jill and First Man.

FIRST MAN soon returned to form back over hurdles when third at Sedgefield in February and, having had a wind op since then, he could be ready to take advantage of his current mark. Callisto's King has shaped well on his last 2 starts and could be the main danger in first-time cheekpieces, while Western Jill also merits consideration.

Possible improvers over a staying trip on ground they'll appreciate, CALLISTO'S KING and Western Jill are preferred in that order.

LTO Selection:

20:40 Kempton Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

ENDOFASTORM was only beaten a length into third in a similar event at Wolverhampton late last month and, off the same mark, the daughter of Galileo Gold could be hard to stop here. Reset Button has the ability to go well off his current rating in a race of this nature, while Jeanette May and Meisterzinger are others who merit places on the shortlist.

RESET BUTTON comes here operating just 1 lb above his last winning mark and, having run with credit on the back of a wind op when fifth at Chelmsford last month, he could be the answer partnered by Oisin Murphy. Trusty Scout and Meisterzinger head up the dangers, with Knight of Kings also worth noting if the market speaks in his favour.

Meisterzinger will appreciate the return to this track but ENDOFASTORM could have more to offer over middle distances.

(3) Champagne Town 14/1, Winning pointer. Fair form in a bumper and maiden hurdle in Ireland last spring. Below that level in a Doncaster novice hurdle for new yard in March and too free on handicap debut a fortnight ago. No surprise a hood goes on.
Point winner who is lightly raced under rules but he needs improvement with a hood added.

Having A Barney

2.5/1(+9%)
(7) Having A Barney 2.5/1, On the up since sent handicapping, off the mark at Ayr in March and form of subsequent second to Blue Bikini at Market Rasen (20.6f, good to soft) was boosted when the winner went in again next time. 23.3f may have just tested his stamina at Hexham so he remains of firm interest.
Ayr winner in March and he seemed stretched at 2m7f last time; respected back in trip.

4th (10) Robber's Bridge (6/1 +33%)
Robber's Bridge

6/1(+33%)
(10) Robber's Bridge 6/1, Took a big step forward when second at Wincanton (21.4f) in March, unlucky to bump into a well-punted one. Heavy defeat over 3m here last time needs casting aside. Down in trip.
Inconsistent nine-race maiden who was disappointing here last time; risks attached.
5th
5th (6) Mrs Kinsella (10/1 -11%)
Mrs Kinsella

10/1(-11%)
(6) Mrs Kinsella 10/1, Modest ex-Irish maiden hurdler who showed nothing in 2 starts for Billy Aprahamian. Respectable third starting out for this yard at Hereford last month but never really looked like justifying support at Ludlow. Cheekpieces now on.
Inconsistent 11-race maiden but has possibilities if cheekpieces give her a boost.
6th
6th (1) Alchemystique (12/1 +0%)
Alchemystique

12/1(+0%)
(1) Alchemystique 12/1, Winless since 2021 and fit from a couple of good placed efforts on the AW, she could manage only mid-field at Warwick 3 weeks ago. Prone to the odd mistake but this is a slight drop in grade, at least.
Course winner who has claims if she can get back near best on this drop back in grade.
7th
7th (2) Bentham (25/1 -25%)
Bentham

25/1(-25%)
(2) Bentham 25/1, Winless since landing a Bellewstown maiden hurdle in July 2020 but there have been positives to glean from some of last season's efforts. Left Gavin Cromwell since last seen in March.
Ex-Irish 9yo; sole hurdle win was in 2020 and he looks opposable on his stable debut.
8th
8th (4) Rafferty (28/1 -300%)
Rafferty

28/1(-300%)
(4) Rafferty 28/1, Won 2 of first 3 starts for this yard, latterly at Southwell (20.4f, soft) in January 2022. Unable to continue the good work later in the year and now has questions to answer reverting to hurdles minus usual hood.
Returns from another absence and he needs a major revival back over hurdles; hood removed.
9th
9th (8) Boomtime Banker (9/1 -125%)
Boomtime Banker

9/1(-125%)
(8) Boomtime Banker 9/1, Returned from a long absence an improved model, winning handicaps at Worcester (20f) and Plumpton (20.5f) during middle of last year. 4 lb higher now and has another absence to overcome, but she should make a bold bid for the hat-trick provided all's well.
Lightly raced 9yo who won both her starts last year; key player again in hat-trick bid.
|F|
|F| (9) Rainbow Jet (8/1 +50%)
Rainbow Jet

8/1(+50%)
(9) Rainbow Jet 8/1, Fairly useful handicapper at best on the Flat but little form in this sphere, albeit she races off her correct mark this time.
Fair on Flat in her prime but unplaced in all seven runs over hurdles; others preferred.
LTO Selection:

20:50 Southwell Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

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

BOOMTIME BANKER won on her only two appearances of 2022 and it would be no surprise if she were to rack up the hat-trick here, despite the 248-day break. Having A Barney has not been disgraced on either start since winning at Ayr in March and may prove to be the main threat to the selection, ahead of Robber's Bridge and Malina Ocarina.

HAVING A BARNEY has been in top form this spring, shaping well over 23.3f at Hexham last time and back in trip, he can regain the winning thread. Boomtime Banker is clearly fragile but she's won her last 2 so needs considering, along with Malina Ocarina.

The vote goes to HAVING A BARNEY (nap), who looked stretched over 2m7f at Hexham and could resume his progress back at this trip.

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.
