Global Effort

7/1(+56%)

Lukla

12/1(-9%)
(8) Lukla 12/1, Seventh of 10 in handicap (12/1) at Thirsk (5f, good) 22 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Others more persuasive.

LTO Selection:

13:45 Beverley Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

TANTALUS has hit the crossbar the last twice, with the latest of those efforts coming at Wetherby over an extended 5f. He has been left on the same mark and is fancied to go one place better to shed his maiden tag. Insolente struck in a C&D seller two starts ago and could play a hand in the finish, while Global Effort competes off a career-low mark and would be foolish to dismiss.

INSOLENTE has been in good form in sellers of late so can take advantage of a career-low mark back in a handicap. Mrs Trump shaped much better than the bare result at Thirsk so needs considering, while Tantalus responded well to this headgear when runner-up at Wetherby.

Despite his poor draw a chance is taken on HOWYADOIN who has his ideal conditions and his rider is able to claim a valuable 8lb.

1.88/1(-7%)
(2) Rivas Rob Roy 1.88/1, Bagged fourth course victory when taking 7-runner handicap over this trip (soft) 7 days ago, easily. Looks well in under 4 lb penalty and holds leading claims.
Looked in excellent nick when scoring by over 5l here a week ago; commands respect.

Superstar Dj

9/1(-6%)
(4) Superstar Dj 9/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 5 in handicap (5/1) at this course (9.9f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Yet to really fire this year.
Won on AW in the autumn but has some questions to answer at present.

Billaki Mou

(6) Billaki Mou 2/1, Still looking for first win but ran right up to best, in first-time visor, when second of 9 in handicap over C&D (good to firm, 4/1) 14 days ago. Should give another good account.
Second to much-improved rival over C&D a fortnight ago; one to consider.

(5) Tom Tulliver 25/1, Latest win at Southwell in March. Seventh of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 9/1) 33 days ago. Makes limited appeal.
Dual AW winner this year but has very modest strike-rate on turf; others preferred.
5th
5th (3) Storm Asset (3.5/1 +0%)
Storm Asset

3.5/1(+0%)
(3) Storm Asset 3.5/1, Chasing a hat-trick after victories at Wolverhampton (9.5f) and Nottingham (10.2f) in recent weeks. Remains fairly treated and warrants plenty of respect.
Two wins already this month; has run well here before; likely contender.
6th
6th (1) Compere (11/1 -120%)
Compere

11/1(-120%)
(1) Compere 11/1, 3/1, 13½ lengths last of 7 to Rivas Rob Roy in handicap at this C&D (soft) 7 days ago. Chance if rediscovering old form.
Didn't fire here a week ago but made the frame three times beforehand (twice over C&D).
LTO Selection:

14:00 Brighton Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

RIVAS ROB ROY is at the top of his game at present and the three-timer looks very much on the cards for John Gallagher's charge. He can get the better of recent C&D runner-up Billaki Mou and another hat-trick seeker in Storm Asset, who should not be inconvenienced by the drop in distance. Compere is entitled to be thereabouts as well.

Course specialist RIVAS ROB ROY arrives in a rich vein of form and can defy a 4 lb penalty for his latest success. Storm Asset is also on a winning run and rates the chief threat.

Rivas Rob Roy is in prime form but preference is for BILLAKI MOU, who ran well in defeat behind an improver here a fortnight ago.

Lost out only to a Godolphin filly after attempting to make all at Lingfield; good chance.

Out of a well-connected French maiden; market may point the way.

4th (3) Highland Well (10/1 +50%)
Highland Well

10/1(+50%)
(3) Highland Well 10/1, Foaled March 1. 14,000 gns yearling, Highland Reel filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 7f winner Ones Are Wild. Yard boasts a solid strike rate with juveniles this year.
Out of a half-sister to a Gimcrack winner; stable not prolific with newcomers..
LTO Selection:

14:15 Beverley Maiden (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

SHADAN JOY showed plenty of promise on debut at Lingfield, only being denied by an odds-on favourite from the Godolphin camp, and she would have learned a great deal from the experience. With improvement forthcoming, Charlie Johnston's filly could prove very tough to beat. The main threat might be Misemerald, who shaped well over 6f at Carlisle, although any market support for newcomers Eminny and Highland Well should be respected.

SHADAN JOY ought to progress from her encouraging Lingfield debut and can get off the mark. Misemerald also made a pleasing start to her career at Carlisle last week and is the obvious danger.

Carlisle third Misemerald can progress but Lingfield runner-up SHADAN JOY arguably has more compelling form and greater potential.

(2) Canadiansmokeshow 2.5/1, Ran to a fair level all 4 starts at 2 yrs but hasn't been in same form so far this term, latest over longer trip at Wetherby 2 weeks ago. Tried in hood now.
Placed on three of her four 2yo starts but disappointing so far this season.

Didn't fire last time but her previous form makes her a major player.

Another Dimension

2.5/1(+9%)
(1) Another Dimension 2.5/1, Lightly-raced colt. 33/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 19 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Back down in trip. Not out of things.
Looked quite promising in the autumn but was soundly beaten in both handicaps this spring.
5th

Eternal Fame

(3) Eternal Fame 20/1, Thrice-raced filly. Hooded for 1st time, tenth of 11 in maiden at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 50/1) 22 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Others preferred.
Promising third on 2yo debut but well below that form twice since; up in trip today.
LTO Selection:

14:30 Brighton Maiden (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

This can go the way of FAHARI, who wasn't at her best in a Goodwood handicap last time out, but ran well on her two previous starts this season. The step up from 7f is another plus and she can see off Another Dimension and Onemorenomore, who ran a career-best when fourth at Beverley last time out and there should be more to come.

This can go to ONEMORENOMORE, who has improved with each outing and remains low mileage. Fahari may provide the chief threat.

The most appealing option in this uncompetitive maiden is ONEMORENOMORE, who posted a good effort at Beverley this month.

Again hasn't gone on from a good effort on his first start of the season; cheekpieces on.
LTO Selection:

14:45 Beverley Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Gone has been in splendid form this year, winning four of her seven starts, and she warrants plenty of respect off the same mark as when touched off at Hamilton last week. However, TARTAN SKIRT appeals as a type trainer David O'Meara does well with and she could take the necessary step forward on only her second start for the yard. Ey Up Its The Boss is another to note.

EY UP ITS THE BOSS has been knocking on the door of late and looks ready to strike off this sort of mark. The thriving Gone is the obvious threat, with Satin Snake best of the others.

The choice is EYE UP ITS THE BOSS (nap) who has gone very close to winning off similar marks the last twice.

Has struggled to get competitive for new stable this year.
LTO Selection:

15:00 Brighton Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Fresh from a very successful week at Royal Ascot, the Archie Watson team can strike again with LET HER LOOSE, who returned to form with a solid runner-up effort at Haydock last time out. The six-year-old is 3lb below her last winning mark, which may be enough to see off the likes of Geelong and Hidden Pearl, who scored over a couple of furlongs further at Yarmouth.

Preference is for LET HER LOOSE, who was the only one to get near the favourite when runner-up off this career-low mark at Haydock recently and she's entitled to come on for that run given that she was returning from a 6-month break. Hidden Pearl did the job well at Yarmouth and should be in the thick of things once again, while Geelong is best of the rest.

Preference is for LET HER LOOSE, who returned to form with a good effort in higher-grade company at Haydock this month.

LTO Selection:

15:15 Beverley Maiden (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

KIARAAD offered plenty to work with when second on his debut at Lingfield earlier in the month and any improvement could make the son of Havana Grey tough to beat. Hondo ran with more encouragement when fourth at Thirsk last week and he can't be discounted, while Camusdarach may prove more competitive now returned to maiden company and completes the shortlist.

KIARAAD produced a promising first effort when second at Lingfield 2 weeks ago and might have got off to a winning start had he been a bit more clued up. He's preferred to the form pick Hondo, who may find the slight drop in trip against him.

This looks a good opportunity for KIARAAD, who kept on well for second on his debut at Lingfield a fortnight ago.

(4) Bodygroove 4/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 50/1, thirteenth of 14 in minor event at Kempton (8f). Off 6 months and up in trip for this handicap debut. Worth a second look in the betting.
Unable to land a telling blow in three 1m maiden/novice races at Kempton (AW) in November.

Sous Surveillance

50/1(-25%)
(6) Sous Surveillance 50/1, 40/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Chepstow (8.1f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Back up in trip and he's likely to struggle once more.
Didn't take to hurdling this year and was soundly beaten on recent Flat return.
LTO Selection:

15:30 Brighton Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Bodygroove is worthy of a market watch on his handicap debut and first start as gelding. He is upped in trip for his turf bow but he hasn't shown enough just yet, whereas C&D winner COME ON JOHN has the form in the book, with three career victories and a third at Yarmouth last time out. Feyha is another of interest dropping back in trip after weakening on her return. She could also get involved where it matters.

This represents a good opportunity for ETON BLUE, who bumped into an improver from the Sir Mark Prescott yard on his recent reappearance here and this drop back in trip is unlikely to pose a problem. Come On John has been in good form of late and is the clear main danger ahead of Feyha and handicap debutant Bodygroove.

This can go to ETON BLUE (nap), who made a perfectly respectable seasonal reappearance here 18 days ago and remains well handicapped.

Well down the field when upped to 1m4f for seasonal/stable debut and now 0-8.
LTO Selection:

15:45 Beverley Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

VALLEY OF FLOWERS once again found only one rival too strong at Ripon last Thursday and she looks likely to pick up a race of this nature sooner or later. The five-year-old makes most appeal, ahead of Smart Lass, who has been hitting some form of late and is back down to a dangerous mark. Isle of Wolves reverts to turf and is another who can't be discounted off his current rating.

ISLE OF WOLVES' strike rate tempers enthusiasm but his consistency has been hard to knock for Harriet Bethell and, having not been seen to best effect on his latest outing at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago, he could be worth chancing to capitalise on what looks a workable mark. Valley of Flowers, following her second at Ripon on Thursday, and Odd Venture, who caught the eye at Catterick, head the dangers. Smart Lass can't be ruled out either.

This might go to TIBERIO FORCE, who ran well in first-time blinkers at Pontefract this month and competes off another career-low mark.

Still lightly raced but she needs to resume her progress back up on turf.
LTO Selection:

16:00 Brighton Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

SIR WINSTON looks to have plenty in his favour, following a C&D success in late May with a close-up second at Chepstow. He has been upped another 1lb, but Aidan Keeley claims 5lb and that may make the difference. Granary Queen has consistency on her side after a third at Goodwood and she can go well again. Whispering Song and Tolstoy are others to consider.

SIR WINSTON arrives on the up so this C&D winner is fancied to quickly resume winning ways off just a 1 lb higher mark than when a very good Chester second last time. Granary Queen landed this contest 12 months ago and is again much respected along with course-winner Poetic Force, who didn't enjoy the rub of the green when sixth at Windsor.

Preference is for Roger Varian's improver SIR WINSTON, who won over C&D last month and was only narrowly denied at Chepstow last time.

LTO Selection:

16:15 Beverley Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Bashful recorded arguably a career-best performance when supplementing a Hamilton triumph at Newcastle last week and he must enter calculations turned out quickly under a penalty. Preference, however, is for Charlie Johnston's lightly-raced BOBBY'S BLESSING, who makes his handicap debut off what looks a workable mark. Westernesse and Shine On Brendan both arrive in fine fettle and also warrant consideration in an open event.

WESTERNESSE was caught further back than ideal following a rare tardy start at York 11 days ago but confirmed himself still in top form when staying on to take third close home. Still unexposed at this sort of trip, he could be the answer here from a handy draw. The thriving Bashful may emerge as the chief threat in his hat-trick bid, with Freak Out, very much an eye-catcher here latest, and Bobby's Blessing others to consider.

Another chance can be given to WESTERNESSE, who didn't have the race run to suit when third at York and remains unexposed over 1m2f.

LTO Selection:

16:30 Brighton Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Bear To Dream filled the runner-up spot over C&D recently and she has to be considered once more off the same mark. However, preference is for VOODOO RAY, who probably found a mile too far on his comeback but produced a pleasing performance when second over track and trip off a 1lb higher mark back in September. Pull The Lever is an interesting contender in first-time cheekpieces.

BEAR TO DREAM signalled she's ready to strike again when second over C&D a fortnight ago so this C&D scorer edges the vote in a trappy handicap. Too Funky also looked on the way back when fourth here last time and is next on the list ahead of the returning Ravi Road who failed for stamina when fifth over hurdles at Stratford last time out.

This can go to the in-form filly BEAR TO DREAM, who has a record of 132132 in handicaps at this track and remains feasibly treated.

LTO Selection:

16:45 Beverley Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Timedtoperfection is worth a second look off this mark, despite her maiden status, with the Fahey yard in decent form. She might appreciate the step up in trip, but may have to settle for a place if RED FORT makes the most of a drop in grade following his encouraging Haydock third off 1lb higher. Cantalupo Bella is also of interest if she can repeat the level of form that carried her into third at Wolverhampton two starts ago.

BRABUSACH surely has a race like this in him and can get off the mark if lining up again after Monday's Chepstow second. Red Fort rates a big threat, with Cantalupo Bella and handicap debutant Portoro others worth monitoring.

Although Red Fort is an obvious contender, a chance is taken on BAILAR CONTIGO who should fare better now going right-handed.

(1) Bernard Spierpoint 2.75/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 6 runs this year. Career best when winning 12-runner minor event at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm, 5/4) 12 days ago, keeping on well. Progressing recently so he's not taken lightly back in handicap company.
Emphatic winner of two basement-grade classified races this month (one over C&D).

Course winner last summer but out of form this year; headgear switched today.
LTO Selection:

17:00 Brighton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

BERNARD SPIERPOINT has recorded a quickfire double this month, with both victories coming in classified events. He now returns to the handicapping ranks and is fancied to round out the hat-trick. The main threat may be Rhythmic Acclaim, who was second to the high-flying Quinault at Chelmsford and if she can put in a similar bid, she should have a say. Red Alert must also be considered on the back of a couple of wins over C&D.

RED ALERT is thriving since the cheekpieces went back on and a 4 lb penalty doesn't look sufficient to prevent him from bagging a quick C&D hat-trick. Bernard Spierpoint is also enjoying a purple patch and rates the obvious threat in his own hat-tirck bid. Fellow C&D scorer Porfin appeals as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

Lightly raced filly RHYTHMIC ACCLAIM was a clear second to a handicap blot in April and competes off the same mark here.

(3) Clearance 5/1, C&D winner who dispelled some lesser efforts on Flat when fourth over hurdles at Fontwell (19.2f) on penultimate start in May. Strictly below that level when fifth in 8-runner handicap back there 30 days ago but no forlorn hope on balance.

Not easy to predict but returned to form with C&D third this month.
LTO Selection:

17:15 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow

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

PROFESSOR CALCULUS put in a solid display to make the frame over C&D earlier in the month. The five-year-old has been left on the same mark and that gives him leading claims of recording his second career success. One to watch out for is Enthused, who takes a step back down in distance and has to be respected off 1lb higher than when third as favourite at Fakenham. Urabamba completes the shortlist.

A winner on his penultimate start at Huntingdon in May, ENTHUSED again ran well when third at Fakenham 23 days ago and, with his in-form rider taking off a valuable 5 lb, he looks sure to go well again. Clearance and Professor Calculus may emerge as the chief threats.

The answer might be C&D winner CLEARANCE, who wasn't beaten far when fourth in a stronger race than this at Fontwell last month.

1m AW winner in January; right-handed track should suit but can pull hard so 1m2f a worry.
LTO Selection:

17:20 Beverley Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Little Roman won off this mark at Kempton in January and although beaten twice since, he returns from a three-month break and may do better for it. Future Times and Ski Jump are others for the shortlist, but LINCOLN ROCKSTAR gets the vote. A winner at Redcar in September last year for the Johnstons, she has her first start for David O'Meara now and if a change of scenery brings her back to her best, top weight may not be enough to stop her.

LINCOLN ROCKSTAR signed off her 2-y-o campaign for the Johnstons on a low-key note but she had improved when landing a Redcar nursery in September and is interesting returned to turf/upped in trip on debut for new yard. If judged on what they showed on their penultimate starts, Future Times and Ski Jump are major players, while Stelios is not without each-way appeal and Greek Siren isn't written off either.

Although not at his best last time, SKI JUMP has a couple of decent runs to his name and is taken to beat Future Times.

Didn't build on a promising reappearance in April; probably prefers it softer.
LTO Selection:

17:30 Newbury Handicap (Class 5) 11f Race Class Flow

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

MAWKEB offered more encouragement when staying on into third over 1m2f at Nottingham and a 2lb drop in the ratings combined with a stiffer test may be enough to see Mick Appleby's gelding return to winning ways. Trojan Truth was somewhat underwhelming at the same venue a few days later, but he would hold leading claims on previous form and it's too soon to be writing him off. Mrembo could have a say too.

LUCKY'S DREAM confirmed he retains ability on the back of a lengthy absence when finishing a close-up third at Salisbury recently, that despite not being seen to best effect off a steady gallop. Potentially very well handicapped, he could be worth chancing to build on that here. Charlie Arthur, third in this race 12 months ago, should be sharper for his Southwell reappearance and is feared, with Trojan Truth and Mrembo also worth a look.

The vote goes to MREMBO who was a close fourth in a big field at Windsor last time and has been dropped another 1lb since.

LTO Selection:

17:50 Newton Abbot Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

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

MAX OF STARS had Uncle Matthew a couple of places behind her when runner-up at Hexham and it's hard to imagine that form could be overturned, even with the latter sporting a first-time visor and a reapplied tongue tie. The chances of Ollie Pears' filly are aided further by the booking of champion jockey Brian Hughes and she should prove very tough to beat. Kilcummin is rated 57 on the Flat and could get involved on his jumping bow. David Pipe's French recruit Waitara is also very much in contention.

MAX OF STARS should have learnt plenty from her encouraging Hexham hurdles debut and can get off the mark. French-import Waitara is feared most, particularly if the market speaks in her favour, whilst Uncle Matthew is best of the rest.

After a good second at Hexham on her hurdling debut, MAX OF STARS can go one better on this easier track.

LTO Selection:

18:05 Newbury Stakes (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

DELICACY only gave way inside the final furlong when fifth on her debut at Kempton and Richard Hannon's filly could put that experience to good use to gain a breakthrough success. Crooked Crown won with something in hand at Chepstow and she isn't taken lightly, despite conceding weight all round. Woodhay Wonder wasn't that far behind the selection on her introduction and is another to consider.

DELICACY was unfancied in the betting but showed plenty to work on when fifth in a Kempton maiden and can put that experience to good use. Bint Havana Grey looks an interesting newcomer with the champion jockey booked, so may emerge as the biggest threat ahead of the penalised Crooked Crown, who won a weak maiden at Chepstow.

Preference is for DELICACY who probably did well to finish as close as she did on her Kempton debut given she was sent off 25-1.

Has been running well and chance depends in part on how he takes to longer trip; hood off.
LTO Selection:

18:20 Newton Abbot Handicap Chase (Class 3) 21f Race Class Flow

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

They didn't see which way FAROUK DE CHENEAU went at Fontwell, with the eight-year-old hosing up on his debut for Anthony Honeyball. He has been hit with an 8lb rise but considering the manner of his victory, that's unlikely to stop him from making it a double. The main danger might be recent Bangor victor Midnight Jewel, who can go well once more off 5lb higher, although Stormin Crossgales can't be ruled out.

FAROUK DE CHENEAU made an impressive winning start for this yard at Fontwell on his return last month and looks capable of defying an 8 lb rise. The prolific Midnight Jewel is a solid alternative, though Fat Sam and Kauto The King are both lurking on dangerous marks.

A competitive-looking little race can go to FAT SAM (nap), who is back on a good mark.

Third at a huge price on her debut here, but plenty more will still be needed.
LTO Selection:

18:40 Newbury Stakes (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Pink Satin made the perfect start to her career when triumphing at Windsor and the daughter of Churchill must warrant consideration. She may, however, struggle to concede 6lb to LADY OF LEISURE. Andrew Balding's filly posted a second-placed finish on her debut at Haydock and is taken to build on that. Newcomer Balletic is a potential fly in the ointment and any market support is worth noting.

LADY OF LEISURE made a promising start when runner-up at Haydock and the 6 lb she receives from penalised-winner Pink Satin may prove decisive. Balletic is bred to be smart so is a newcomer to note.

This can go to PINK SATIN who looked a nice prospect when winning on her Windsor debut and she should relish this extra furlong.

LTO Selection:

19:00 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 18f Race Class Flow

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

HERONORD returned to timber when finding only a resurgent rival too strong at Ffos Las and Evan Williams' charge could gain a career first success off only 2lb higher in what appears a weaker contest. Moonshine Spirit makes his handicap debut off a fair mark and is feared most, ahead of Sassified, who ran with more encouragement when staying on to finish third over shorter here just under a fortnight ago.

Preference is for SASSIFIED, who has dropped to a handy mark and shaped with more encouragement here earlier this month. Moonshine Spirit and Heronord rate the principal dangers.

April's third in a big field at Exeter gives HILLSIN every chance in this open race.

LTO Selection:

19:15 Newbury Handicap (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

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

VAYNOR may well be at his best over further but his most recent effort for third at Goodwood was highly encouraging and conditions should be in his favour as he looks to bounce back to winning ways. Millions Memories did it well at Salisbury last time out and he can give the selection the most to think about, although the usually consistent Greystoke can't be dismissed lightly.

None of these can be ruled out but LATIN VERSE is able to race off a 2 lb lower mark than when a good close seventh at York last time and can take full advantage. Vaynor is a consistent sort and seems sure to have a say on the back of his good Goodwood third along with Splendent, who should benefit from reverting in trip.

The choice is SPLENDENT who was held over 1m6f last time, but his previous third over 1m4f at York could hardly be working out better.

Came from a long way off the pace for big-priced success in April but soundly beaten since.
LTO Selection:

19:30 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 26f Race Class Flow

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

It may pay to stick with last-time-out winner NICKELSONTHEDIME, who is only 3lb higher than for that Warwick success and he seems to go well for today's jockey. Czech Her Out isn't the easiest to predict, but she's capable on her day and a wind procedure since a Worcester defeat could revive her chances. The returning Jersey Wonder is also of interest.

NICKELSONTHEDIME had a bit left in the tank when scoring at Warwick last time so can defy a 3 lb rise in the weights at the chief expense of Czech Her Out who wasn't seen to best effect when sixth at Worcester last time and has had a subsequent wind op. Jersey Wonder returns from 8 months off but this reliable sort still can't be dismissed off a handy-looking mark.

Given a chance by the handicapper on today's return to hurdling, NAME IN LIGHTS could have untapped potential over this new trip.

LTO Selection:

19:50 Newbury Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

AURORA DAWN has done very well since switching to the turf and dropping back in trip should suit, having gone close at Haydock over a mile last month. The daughter of Awtaad still looks to be on a workable mark and she is narrowly preferred to Dream Of Mischief, who bounced back to form with a promising second at Goodwood. Big R and Saturnalia are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

DREAM OF MISCHIEF looked an unlcuky loser when runner-up at Goodwood last time and can make amends off just a 1 lb higher mark. Puffable made a promising start for Alice Haynes when third at the same track and rates a big threat eased 1 lb. Jimmy Lifestyle is another who has been lowered in the weights and can have a say in an open handicap.

This can go to DREAM OF MISCHIEF (nap) who was unlucky not to win at Goodwood 11 days ago. He can gain compensation off 1lb higher.

(1) Bala Brook 3/1, Failed to build on promise of his bumper debut at the second attempt in that sphere, and he didn't have much behind him when chasing home a long odds-on shot in a C&D maiden last month. Still, this is hardly a strong race, so it would be no surprise were he to play a part.
Well held in bumpers; no danger when second over C&D on hurdle debut; still leading player.

Frankie Faulkner

5/1(-25%)
(3) Frankie Faulkner 5/1, Little impact sole start under Rules in an Irish bumper back in February 2021. On the upside, he has won a couple of times between the flags in the interim, including on latest start in April, and it'll be interesting to see what the market has to say on this debut for new yard/hurdles bow.
Improved form in points this year; hurdle/stable debut after £10,000 purchase.

(6) Supreme Johnson 20/1, Dual point winner but overall record between the flags is hardly compelling, and he'll need to step up on what he's shown in bumpers in order to make a successful hurdles debut.
Dual point winner; has run reasonably well in bumpers; each-way hopes on hurdle debut.

Well beaten in bumpers and tailed off on C&D hurdle debut.

Point winner but hasn't looked straightforward; stable debut.

No promise in a bumper or on this month's hurdle/stable debut; cheekpieces now fitted.
LTO Selection:

20:05 Newton Abbot Maiden Hurdle (Class 3) 22f Race Class Flow

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

This can go the way of BALA BROOK, who ran a highly encouraging race when second on his hurdling debut over C&D. The winner has gone in again since and Joe Tizzard's charge can get off the mark at the main expense of Songo, who returns to this sphere after a decent effort on the Flat at Goodwood. Frankie Faulkner could be an interesting recruit for the Evan Williams stable.

With a creditable recent effort on the Flat at Goodwood under his belt, SONGO is taken to open his account in this sphere. The 7-y-o has hardly pulled up any trees in his 3 completed starts in this sphere but he will find few better opportunities than this and the booking of Harry Cobden adds to his appeal. Dual point winner Frankie Faulkner makes his hurdles debut at a realistic level and is feared most ahead of Bala Brook.

Altough not bombproof, SONGO is much the most talented of this field.

Ring Of Light

5.5/1(-38%)
(6) Ring Of Light 5.5/1, Improved when runner-up on handicap debut at Newmarket last summer and winner of 7f/1m AW handicaps on final 3 starts of 2022. Nudged up just 2 lb for latest success and this lightly-raced 5-y-o will be a danger to all if fully tuned-up following a break.

Showed more on his second start back from a lengthy absence, but drops 3f in trip.

King Of The Dance

(9) King Of The Dance 16/1, Low-mileage 4-y-o who stepped up on previous exploits when good second in a 1m Kempton handicap last August. Failed to build on that when reappearing over C&D recently but that run was probably needed and he shaped well sole start on turf as a juvenile.
Just beaten at Kempton last August; probably needed recent return back there; unexposed.

Just beaten on his Haydock return, but disappointing at Goodwood last time; cheekpieces on.

Third on stable debut after a year off at Chepstow this month; player if coming on for it.
6th

Wadi Bani

2.75/1(+45%)
(12) Wadi Bani 2.75/1, Remains winless following 10 attempts but ought to put that right before long having made the frame on 4 of his 5 starts since returning to action in March. Latest second at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) was a creditable effort and he shouldn't be far away.
Second at Doncaster last time and would have gone closer with a clear run; each-way claims.
7th
7th (1) Capote's Dream (4.5/1 +44%)
Capote's Dream

4.5/1(+44%)
(1) Capote's Dream 4.5/1, Prolific in 2021 but failed to add to his tally in handicaps last year. However, he has made the frame on 3 of his 4 starts this time round, including over 6f here (firm) recently, and this step back up in trip may well work in his favour.
Down in grade, but still to prove he stays this far and unraced on ground faster than good.
8th
8th (8) Plumette (50/1 -25%)
Plumette

50/1(-25%)
(8) Plumette 50/1, Successful twice on the AW for David Loughnane since the turn of the year but well below par last time (albeit she was left poorly placed) and hasn't won on turf for over 4 years.
Last five wins on the AW, but has won twice on turf; stable debut.
9th

Starlight Nation

6/1(-50%)
(10) Starlight Nation 6/1, Gradual progress since switched to handicaps, off the mark at Leicester (7f, good) 3 weeks ago. 3 lb rise is unlikely to debar another bold show with Tom Marquand again in the hot-seat.
Only his second start on turf when winning at Leicester three weeks ago; respected up 3lb.
10th

(5) Lunar Space 50/1, Listed winner at the Curragh for Jim Bolger in April 2021 but hasn't shown anything like that level of form since. Hard to recommend, for all that he continues to fall down the weights and is dropping to 0-75 company for the first time.
Well beaten all six starts since debuting for this yard last summer; best watched for now.

(4) Unsung Hero 18/1, Back-to-back winner at Kempton last September but well held final 2 starts of 2022 and likely to need this following a 6-month absence. Tongue strap applied.
Both wins from the front on the Kempton AW last September; may need the run; tongue-tie on.
LTO Selection:

20:25 Newbury Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Ring of Light completed an all-weather hat-trick last autumn, but he is yet to win on the grass and may have to chase home WADI BANI here. Seamus Durack's three-year-old ran on into second at Doncaster after finding himself short of room and, barring similar mishaps, he can go one better. Al Motasim could be of interest in first-time cheekpieces, with Starlight Nation also in the reckoning.

Having performed with plenty of credit in a higher-grade handicap on Oaks day at Epsom, SECRET STRENGTH could be the answer to this competitive and open-looking contest. Starlight Nation has improved with each of his three starts since tackling handicaps and is feared greatly on the back of his Leicester success. Al Motasim failed to make an impact at Goodwood but remains of interest in view of his reappearance effort at Haydock, while Capote's Dream and Ring of Light are also shortlisted.

The vote goes to STARLIGHT NATION who was having his second start on turf when winning at Leicester last time and can defy a 3lb rise.

Junior Massini

(5) Junior Massini 1/1, Not entirely straightforward and modest over hurdles but has looked a different proposition switched to fences for new yard, winning 2 of his 3 starts in this sphere. Largely jumped well when making all at Bangor (3m, good) recently, for which a 4 lb rise is fair enough.
On a hat-trick after Warwick and Bangor wins; obvious claims off 4lb higher mark.

Second in three handicap hurdles this year but yet to show much over fences; blinkers on.

(3) Tel'Art 4.5/1, Fair winner at 3¼m over hurdles for Ben Pauling and posted some respectable efforts in hunter chases for this yard last spring. More miss than hit since, though, and the percentage call is to look elsewhere in search of the likely winner.
Doesn't appear to be as good as he was; 0-8 over fences; well beaten in a hurdle latest.

1-19 over hurdles; can be competitive if taking to chasing on debut over fences.
LTO Selection:

20:40 Newton Abbot Handicap Chase (Class 5) 26f Race Class Flow

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

JUNIOR MASSINI has been a revelation since joining the Sheila Lewis stable and going over fences, backing up a Warwick victory at Bangor, and the hat-trick looks like a distinct possibility. The step up in trip is another plus and he is preferred to Loved Out, who has performed well over the smaller obstacles of late and is having his first start in this sphere. Seymour Promise is another to watch out for.

Though a winner of just one of his 19 hurdles starts, LOVED OUT has proven to be largely consistent in that sphere and may well be equal to this task, provided of course that he makes a good shape over fences at the first attempt. Junior Massini is probably not one to lump on at what will likely be a skinny price but is the obvious danger.

With the other three having something to prove, JUNIOR MASSINI can complete the hat-trick.

A small amount of ability in three sprint novices; improvement needed on handicap debut.
LTO Selection:

21:00 Newbury Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Trainer Rod Millman won this last year and Oisin Murphy keeps his partnership with Ignac Lamar intact after their Leicester third, while Hurt You Never has won three on the bounce and warrants plenty of respect, despite an added 7lb and a rise in class. JAX EDGE appeared to have plenty in hand when scoring at Chepstow, though, and a 6lb hike may not stop her from following up.

HURT YOU NEVER is very much a filly in form and is taken to defy a 7 lb rise in the handicap for her latest success. Jax Edge and Rich Rhythm head the list of dangers.

Preference is for RICH RHYTHM especially if the ground remains fast. He has caught the eye with his finishing effort the last twice.

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.
