Class & Speed Card

Ever since he made a sparkling debut here in March, BUCANERO FUERTE has been highly touted by connections and he went someway to proving them right when an excellent third in the Coventry. The winner of that contest looks very smart, and his form looks a level above that of the Norfolk Stakes, in which His Majesty (fourth) finished ahead of Devious (sixth) when leading home his group on the near side. Unquestionable made quite the impression when scoring over C&D latest and he must enter calculations as well.

BUCANERO FUERTE ran a fine race in the Coventry and looks a good prospect. He can resume winning ways, with Aidan O'Brien's His Majesty and Unquestionable fancied to be big dangers.

Bucanero Fuerte has the best form in this. However, he may have to give best to UNQUESTIONABLE, who was an easy C&D maiden winner
Class & Speed Card

AN MHI has been getting to grips with things of late and he looked to have more in hand than the winning margin suggests at Perth last month. Gordon Elliott's charge is well clear on ratings and he should have too much for former point-to-pointer Craven Bay, and Jeepydoff Meel, who got off the mark at the expense of a subsequent winner at Market Rasen.

AN MHI had plenty to spare when scoring at Perth and he's fancied to complete a hat-trick at the likely expense of his former stablemate Jeepydoff Meel.

The tongue-tie has been a boon for AN MHI, who is taken to complete a hat-trick. Jeepydoff Meel is the chief threat on form.
Class & Speed Card

A game winner over C&D in May, Ubetya can go close off a 6lb higher mark, but the reopposing MARSHALLED is 1lb better off with his rival here for a nose defeat and is fancied to reverse the form of the aforementioned contest. Ben Haslam's inmate has been fairly consistent of late and, despite racing off a career-high mark, looks the one to beat. Quoi De Neuf adds further spice to the race off the same mark following a cosy win at Fakenham last month.

ARTHUR'S QUAY could be ready to resume winning ways given how he finished here 5 weeks ago. Irish-trained runners hold a strong hand, headed by the thriving Arctic Ambition and his stablemate Walking The Walk.

The step back up in trip looks a likely plus for ARTHUR'S QUAY and he's the pick ahead of Gordon Elliott's Arctic Ambition.
Class & Speed Card

MIGHTY GURKHA bolted up over this trip at Leicester on his return from a break last month and an 8lb raised mark may not be enough to hold him back here. Although he does have to shoulder top-weight, he is fancied to get the better of Sharp Power, who has been progressive in handicaps recently and can go close following a fair second at Lingfield over 7f most recently. Catwalk Model makes her handicap debut following a comfortable success at Yarmouth last month and completes the shortlist.

SHARP POWER shaped very well when runner-up at Lingfield 10 days ago and is taken to go one better with the drop back in trip likely to suit. Mighty Gurkha ended his losing run in impressive fashion at Leicester 2 weeks ago so is the obvious threat.

The return to 6f can help Sharp Power but MIGHTY GURKHA is taken to follow up last month's wide-margin Leicester win.
Class & Speed Card

COMMANCHE FALLS has been running with plenty of credit in Group races having gone down by a head in the Group 3 Abernant at Newmarket in April. His most recent display saw him finish third in the Duke Of York and a repeat of that performance at this level would make him tough to beat. Tango Flare remains open to improvement on just his sixth career outing, following a brace of victories at Cork and Fairyhouse, while others for the shortlist include Wodao and Mooneista.

COMMANCHE FALLS holds the clear edge on the form of his good third in York's Duke of York Stakes so can fend off the home challengers, with course winner Mooneista and the progressive Tango Flare perhaps the main dangers.

This looks like an excellent opportunity for nine-time winner COMMANCHE FALLS(nap) to record a first success at stakes level.
Class & Speed Card

NOAHTHIRTYTWORED bounced back to winning ways with a stylish success at Newton Abbot last month and a 4lb rise for that win is offset by Conor Rabbitt's valuable 5lb claim. The seven-year-old is narrowly preferred to in-form Irish raider The Greek, as well as Al Zaraqaan, who arrives on a hat-trick following two comfortable victories at a lower level. Espion Du Chenet and Sir Tivo have the form to get involved as well.

NOAHTHIRTYTWORED impressed with his resilience when scoring at Newton Abbot last month and looks capable of defying a 4 lb rise. Hatcher isn't the most reliable, but he should have won at Fakenham 4 weeks ago and is only 1 lb higher here. Give Me A Moment is another who's potentially on a good mark.

Up-and-coming 7yo NOAHTHIRTYTWORED kept on strongly to assert on the run-in at Newton Abbot last month and might still be well treated.
Class & Speed Card

A case can be made for several of these, but Irish raider BANKS BOY gets the vote following a pleasing second at Cork in May. Although he has gone up 11lb for that, there is likely more to come from Gordon Elliott's inmate and the unexposed son of Getaway could benefit from a drop in distance. Castel Gandolfo secured a comfortable success over 2m at Kelso most recently and is feared most now 4lb above that mark, while Fiveonefive completes the shortlist.

A few with chances but HURRICANE ALI is a likeable sort who can race off the same mark as when a good second at Aintree so he edges the vote at the chief expense of Kelso scorer Castel Gandolfo. Belvedere Blast is another who can have a say on the back of his recent Hexham success, with the handily-weighted Hallowed Star completing the shortlist.

The Gordon Elliott-trained BANKS BOY (nap) went close behind a subsequent winner in a big field at Cork in May and is the selection.
Class & Speed Card

REMINDER is related to some smart types, including the 7f Group 3 winner Recorder, and the daughter of Dubawi built on her racecourse debut to score over C&D on her most recent outing. Andrew Balding's inmate left the impression that there would be more to come and she gets the vote from the reopposing Lady Dreamer, who sports a first-time visor following a second at Carlisle last time out. Cloud Cover looks the pick of the remainder.

REMINDER took a big step forward when going in over C&D and can defy her penalty with more progress on the cards. Old rival Lady Dreamer is feared most, but could have to settle for second again, with Tarbet appealing as the pick of the rest.

Cloud Cover still has more to come but so does REMINDER and Andrew Balding's filly can defy her penalty and gain a second win.
Class & Speed Card

A wide-open contest in which preferences lies with the unexposed RUN RAN RUN. A game winner over C&D on his most recent outing, the son of No Nay Never left a strong impression that there would be more to come and he can mount another bold bid off a 2lb higher mark. Silmaniya finished in seventh behind the selection on her latest run but can give him plenty to think about now on this occasion. Big Gossey and Laugh A Minute are just two others who boast solid credentials.

MEHMAN still has to prove he's as effective away from Dundalk, but he's potentially well treated from a lower turf mark so could be worth chancing back from a break for a new trainer. Progressive and unexposed pair Run Ran Run and Sheikh Maz Mahood head the dangers.

Having run a cracker behind Tawaazon and Wait A Minute over 6f here last time from a low draw, JON RIGGENS can turn the tables
Class & Speed Card

KINONDO KWETU has become something of a winning machine in this sphere, and it wasn't a surprise when he got back on that trail at Aintree in May. The seven-year-old is unbeaten at this track as well, and he may have too much class for the likes of Captain Tommy and Fidux, who has been runner-up on his last three outings. Cap Du Nord seems to be better going right-handed, while The Abbey commands attention.

The excellent record of the Christian Williams yard in valuable handicap chases swings the vote the way of CAP DU NORD. The very progressive Kinondo Kwetu is feared most despite clear top weight. Twig, who won over hurdles here off an identical mark on his latest start, last year's runner-up Ruthless Article and The Abbey also make the shortlist in one of the highlights of the summer jumps season.

Improving KINONDO KWETU (nap) is taken to defy top weight and enhance his excellent strike-rate over fences. Twig is second choice.
Class & Speed Card

This could go the way of the hat-trick seeking LATINO FLING, who has gone up 5lb following a comfortable success over 2m4f at Worcester last month. A rise of the aforementioned amount may not be enough to stop her adding to her tally and she is fancied to get the better of Presenting Pete, who was going well when coming to grief at the last at Southwell most recently. City Derby is another to bear in mind.

Plenty with chances, with a narrow vote going the way of PRESENTING PETE who would have gone close but for departing late on at Southwell. City Derby was second over C&D last time and heads the dangers.

Having been a good second over C&D last time, CITY DERBY is taken to go one better. The in-form mare Latino Fling is second choice.
Class & Speed Card

NEVER THIS WAY improved when third over this trip at Bath last month and the son of No Nay Never can build on that here. His dam was Listed-placed during her career and William Haggas' three-year-old showed scope for further improvement during the aforementioned outing. Flying Kiss finished a fair third at Chelmsford on her racecourse debut in January and merits consideration on her turf bow, while Ardad's Great heads the remainder.

Archie Watson has his team in good form so FLYING KISS gets the nod to build on an encouraging first effort at Chelmsford in January. Tephi had plenty of chances last year but her form puts her right there on her return to action. Never This Way is another likely to be on the premises.

There has been sufficient promise in NEVER THIS WAY's two runs to think he could win this uncompetitive novice event.
Class & Speed Card

AUGUSTE RODIN massively improved on his effort in the 2000 Guineas when running down King Of Steel to win the Derby at Epsom last month. The second boosted that form with an impressive win at Royal Ascot recently and it is very hard to oppose this son of Deep Impact. Sprewell (fourth) finished a place behind White Birch (third) on that occasion but may well be able to reverse that form on this more conventional track, while Up And Under is the pick of the remainder.

AUGUSTE RODIN produced a high-class performance to run down subsequent King Edward VII winner King of Steel in the Epsom Derby and can become the first horse since Harzand in 2016 to complete the Derby double. Sprewell and White Birch both weren't seen to best effect behind the selection at Epsom and they have solid claims of making the frame again.

Having bounced back brilliantly from his 2,000 Guineas lapse AUGUSTE RODIN is a confident choice to complete the Epsom/Curragh double
Class & Speed Card

JUNGLE PROSE was highly progressive last season and the pick of her form suggests that she could be hard to beat at this level off a mark of 139. Giovanni Change was successful when last seen over hurdles in May and he could prove to be the main threat to the selection, although Sacre Coeur and Jet Of Magic should not be underestimated.

Making her seasonal/stable debut, SACRE COEUR shaped encouragingly when runner-up at Market Rasen and she can build on that effort to return to winning ways back up in trip. Merry Poppins continues in good heart and can go well again with the return to this longer distance to suit, while Jungle Prose is also respected for Gordon Elliott.

Back up in distance, SACRE COEUR could well build on her Market Rasen effort and go one better. Jet Of Magic is second choice.
Class & Speed Card

CLASSIC LADY has proved a different proposition since making the running and a 7lb penalty for her 11-length romp at Hexham last Sunday may not be enough to prevent Mark Walford's eight-year-old from completing a hat-trick. Strike Of Lighting appears fairly treated on his victory here in May and is feared most off 6lb higher in the ratings, while Shantou Sunset also arrives in good heart and is another to note.

CLASSIC LADY is firmly on the up and much of her opposition are well exposed, so she's a confident choice to land the hat-trick. Baby Sham is also going the right way and could be involved if taking part (entered here on Friday), while Strike of Lightning can't be dismissed having opened his account here last time.

This could be between two at the foot of the weights, with May's C&D winner STRIKE OF LIGHTING preferred ahead of Classic Lady.
Class & Speed Card

MR FREEDOM continued his fine run of form when winning over C&D last month with something in hand and another 6lb rise may not be enough to prevent Sheena West's gelding from scoring again. In The Breeze gained his first success of the season when getting his head in front in the dying strides at Haydock in May and he could emerge as the chief threat off only 3lb more. The progressive My Chiquita seeks a hat-trick and also enters calculations.

This is a strong race for the grade but MR FREEDOM has looked well ahead of the handicapper since returning to the Flat and he's fancied to go in again at the likely expense of the hat-trick seeking My Chiquita. In The Breeze, who overcame a pace bias to defy a reduced mark at Haydock last time, is another to consider.

The three last-time-out winners left a notably favourable impression. MR FREEDOM (nap) is preferred to My Chiquita.
Class & Speed Card

Rahmi had a few of these behind him when scoring by a short head over C&D and has been raised 4lb, which is unlikely to prevent him from going close again. However, preference is still for CHAZZESMEE, who has won his last two and comfortably went in at Naas in March. The five-year-old continues to improve and could be up to defying his 13lb hike. Last-time-out victor Blues Emperor and No More Porter are just a couple of others to consider in a wide-open contest.

This is highly competitive but ARNIEMAC made a good impression when landing a maiden at Killarney 47 days ago and, with the scope for further progress, he is narrowly preferred to Rahmi, who landed a 20-runner event over C&D last time. Blues Emperor is one of several others to consider.

The form of the maiden won by ARNIEMAC was given a good boost by the runner-up at Listowel. He is just preferred to Farnborough
Class & Speed Card

FADED FANTASY was an easy 10-length winner of a maiden hurdle at Southwell last month and the four-year-old merits plenty of respect on his handicap bow over timber. Watergrange Jack hit the crossbar off a 2lb lower mark at Ffos Las last time and is likely to be in the mix once again. Others to note are Astromachia, Bombyx and Getareason.

A few in with a shout but BOMBYX stepped up markedly on his belated comeback when fifth at Ludlow in May and, upped to 2½m for the first time, Lucy Wadham's 8-y-o is fancied to double his tally over obstacles. Faded Fantasy rates as a big danger on handicap debut having bolted up at Southwell last month, while there were more encouraging signs from Watergrange Jack in headgear last time, so he's another who could have a say in proceedings.

Astromachia looks solid to go well but may prove vulnerable to further improvement from the handicap hurdle debutant FADED FANTASY.
Class & Speed Card

Titanium Moon recorded a double when coasting home at Stratford recently and can't be ruled out in her current form. However, Donald McCain's mare may struggle to concede 9lb to last-time-out winner NEW YEAR HONOURS. The four-year-old justified strong support in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown last month and that looks the best form on offer. Hard As Nails makes her hurdling debut on the back of two triumphs in bumpers and shouldn't be underestimated.

In a first-time tongue tie on her return, NEW YEAR HONOURS bounced back to the level of her hurdling debut form when winning a Punchestown maiden 22 days ago and she can build on that effort to score again. Titanium Moon isn't taken lightly, though, as she bids for a hat-trick, with Hard As Nails the pick of the remainder as she starts off over hurdles.

New Year Honours and Hard As Nails are both respected but preference is for TITANIUM MOON, who is proven over C&D.
Class & Speed Card

Naasma gained a break-through success on the all-weather at Lingfield recently and a 3lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid. However, a chance can be taken on CARP KID, whose mark continues to slide. John Flint's eight-year-old is now 4lb below his C&D success last July, with top apprentice Billy Loughnane an eye-catching booking. English Spirit attempts 1m2f for the first time and could also have a say if seeing the distance out.

Naasma will no doubt be popular after her breakthrough success at Lingfield recently, but she may have to play second fiddle to CARP KID, who has dropped to a handy mark and with Billy Loughnane on board for the first time, John Flint's 8-y-o can notch a third course success. English Spirit and recent dual C&D winner Mr Zee can battle out third spot.

Carp Kid should fare better today but ENGLISH SPIRIT may be ready to gain a first turf success.
Class & Speed Card

YERWANTHERE finished half a length behind her reopposing stablemate Adelaise in the Kensington Palace at Royal Ascot recently, but is fancied to reverse the form now dropped to 7f en route to gaining a first success of the season. Lan Cinnte opened her account in a Limerick maiden last month and is feared most on her handicap debut off what looks a fair opening mark. The aforementioned Adelaise can't be dismissed either and is also likely to pick up a race of this nature at some point.

ADELAISE is fancied to build on her promising Royal Ascot big-field handicap fourth and get off the mark for her current yard. Yerwanthere rates a big threat having finished a place behind her stablemate there, with in-form Aussie Girl appealing as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.

Undone by a lack of experience in a big-field handicap at Royal Ascot last time (beaten 5/1 fav), YERWANTHERE can make amends.
Class & Speed Card

Vin Rouge was an eight-length winner at Newton Abbot last month but a 10lb rise for that success will make his life tougher here. With that in mind, preference is for TONTO FOLEY, who got off the mark at Southwell last time and may have more to offer now just 4lb higher. Andapa and Cumhacht are others with strong form claims based on recent evidence.

CUMHACHT arrives on the back of a very good Ffos Las second and with the winner having gone in again since he is fancied to go one better. Southwell scorer Tonto Foley rates the chief threat ahead of C&D winner Andapa and Newton Abbot scorer Vin Rouge.

In-form maiden CUMHACHT looks poised to open his account. Sir Canford is second choice ahead of Vin Rouge.
Class & Speed Card

A Mere Bagatelle won with something in hand when recording a first success over the larger obstacles at Kilbeggan last month. Nevertheless, Shark Hanlon's gelding may be worth taking on now racing off a 16lb higher mark on these shores. COPPER FOX shaped better than the beaten distance when weakening into third at Market Rasen in June and this sharper track might see the six-year-old to better effect. The in-form Follow Your Arrow drops in trip and is a viable alternative.

A tricky finale to solve but the suggestion is CHECK MY PULSE, who shaped much better than the bare result after a troubled passage when finishing with a flourish at Hexham just over a fortnight ago. A first-time tongue tie goes on and Rebecca Menzies' charge can double his tally over the larger obstacles. A Mere Bagatelle won over hurdles here last year and heads up the dangers after a facile success at Kilbeggan 4 weeks ago, ahead of Getaway Luv and Follow Your Arrow.

The suggestion is COPPER FOX, who has made a pretty good start to his chasing career and may still have potential.
Class & Speed Card

KIMNKATE has proved a revelation since being fitted with blinkers at Lingfield last month and, off only 4lb higher than when a seven-length winner at Chepstow recently, Richard Hughes' filly is hard to oppose. Fellow last-time-out winner Lady Marie makes her turf debut after a 90-day break and cannot be discounted, nevertheless, Congruent may emerge as a bigger threat having finished third at Yarmouth in June.

KIMNKATE has thrived since the application of blinkers, making it back-to-back wins with a wide-margin success at Chepstow 6 days ago, and she can score again in her current form. Congruent ran her best race when third at Yarmouth last time and could be the biggest threat to the selection, ahead of Lady Marie.

This is all about KIMNKATE judged on the way she stormed clear on Monday. The step back up in trip should not be any problem.
Class & Speed Card

TARAWA is bred to be smart, being related to a couple of Pattern-level winners, and she went someway to proving herself when running a career-best in the Irish 1000 Guineas over C&D. The form of that contest has been franked by her stablemate since and the fact she receives plenty of weight in this contest gives her every chance of seeing off Glencairn Stakes runner-up Salt Lake City and the returning Hellsing, who has significant potential as a three-year-old. Cosmic Vega and Didn'thavemuchtodo are entitled to be thereabouts as well.

TARAWA can build on her fine fourth behind stable-companion Tahiyra in the Irish 1000 Guineas over C&D and bag this listed prize. Johnny Murtagh has won this twice since 2017 so last month's Leopardstown Group 3 third Carrytheone merits plenty of respect. Lord Massusus posted a smart effort to win a Naas handicap last time and can make his presence felt in a higher grade. Salt Lake City is another to consider.

After a fine effort in the Irish 1000 Guineas behind her very talented stablemate Tahiyra, TARAWA should be able to take this.
Class & Speed Card

Safecracker has form that ties in with a good number of the opposition and it would come as no surprise to see him heavily involved again. However, SMOOTH TOM has shown improved form since being tried in a visor and, given he has scope to progress further over this trip, he shades preference. Plenty of others also need to be taken seriously, not least Hell Bent, Timourid and Laelaps. Brazil is also of interest back in a race like this with headgear now applied.

MR ESCOBAR has been given a bit of time since his run at Lingfield over Easter and is well worth another chance to show what he can do for the Willie Mullins yard. The progressive Chally Chute heads the dangers on the back of his good reappearance run at Tipperary. Safecracker also makes the shortlist after his recent Cork second, while Teed Up will also play a part if resuming in the same form as when second in the November Handicap at Doncaster.

It could be worth taking a chance on OLD PORT who may have needed the run in the Cork race in which Safecracker was second

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.
