Class & Speed Card

Two Auld Pals found one too strong as he went in search of his hat-trick at Hamilton nine days ago, but Jim Goldie's in-form gelding merits respect raised just 1lb in the handicap. However, preference is for GOLDEN SHOT. Sir Mark Prescott's unexposed stayer hit the woodwork at Newcastle when last seen, and he looks a likely improver now switched to turf. Others to note include the consistent Ghadbbaan and Glasses Up.

A 9-month absence for GOLDEN SHOT isn't too big a concern given he won after a similar layoff last year and he should have too much for his more exposed rivals. Two Auld Pals has had a good spell lately and is second choice ahead of Ghadbbaan.

This is a tight call between the returning Golden Shot and Jim Goldie's TWO AULD PALS but the vote goes to the latter.
Class & Speed Card

DOROTHY LAWRENCE sets a clear standard on her recent exploits in Listed company and Karl Burke's filly is hard to oppose now dropped markedly in class. Both Batal Zabeel and Whogoesthere will need to improve to hold any hope of toppling the likely favourite and a bigger threat may emerge from newcomer Pilgrim. The son of Havana Grey is a half-brother to the useful Moraawed, who was rated 91 at his peak, and any market support would be interesting.

It's impossible to ignore the claims of DOROTHY LAWRENCE who has been placed at listed level on her last 2 starts and should have little difficulty getting off the mark dropped to a maiden. It should be a closer run thing for the forecast spot, with Batal Zabeel narrowly preferred to Whogoesthere. The two newcomers also make paper appeal and it would be no surprise to see them involved in the battle for minor honours too.

This looks a good opportunity for Karl Burke's useful filly DOROTHY LAWRENCE, who sets a clear standard back in a maiden.
Class & Speed Card

Whiskey Priest would be the obvious call after his dead-heat success at Yarmouth, but he has to carry a 6lb penalty here and preference is for top-weight MISTAMAC. Still a maiden after six starts, he was beaten less than four lengths in a good race at Newcastle last month and ought to go well off 3lb lower. Borough would be interesting if he doesn't pull too hard early on, and he clearly has the ability to make his presence felt.

WHISKEY PRIEST won despite still looking a little rough around the edges at Yarmouth last week and can defy a penalty with further improvement on the cards. Grandad Bob can bounce back to his Catterick form and provide the chief threat ahead of the class-dropping Mistamac.

This can go to WHISKEY PRIEST (nap), who dead-heated on his handicap debut at Yarmouth last week and is open to more improvement.
Class & Speed Card

THE CALTONIAN stepped up markedly on what he had shown previously to run an excellent race on his handicap debut over C&D last month, and he must hold every chance if building on that effort. The hat-trick seeking See My Baby Jive can give him the most to think about, along with Carlisle scorer Gentle Ellen. Completing the shortlist are the likes of Chookie Dunedin, Earn Your Stripes and Muddy Lynn.

GENTLE ELLEN bounced back to form when scoring at Carlisle last month and remains relatively unexposed over sprint trips. She can follow up. Muddy Lynn and See My Baby Jive also arrive in fine form and rate the principal dangers.

Plenty have possibilities but the vote goes to SEE MY BABY JIVE, who has battled well to score over C&D in her last two starts.
Class & Speed Card

Darbucks is likely to prove popular after being collared late on by reopposing rival Jkr Cobbler over C&D last Monday and Christopher Kellett's charge is fancied to turn the tables now 5lb better off with the latter. A chance, however, could be taken on TURBO COMMAND, who offered more encouragement when staying on into sixth over 6f at Hamilton last month. The six-year-old enjoys a 3lb drop in the ratings and could offer a touch of value now returned to 7f.

This can go to DARBUCKS, who has dropped to a handy mark and returned to form when runner-up here last week. Jkr Cobbler won that contest and ought to make a bold follow-up bid, whilst Banner Road is also respected.

4yo DARBUCKS was only just caught by Jkr Cobbler over C&D last week and may well be able to turn the tables on these revised terms.
Class & Speed Card

Dick Donohoe looks to have found another ideal opportunity for MAGNETIC NORTH, who has won three of his last four. Claimed for €10,000 after his penultimate success at Limerick, the eight-year-old provided his new connections with a quick return on their investment, comfortably following-up at Tramore. Now in for €15,000 and with Adam Caffrey again claiming a valuable 5lb, he should prove hard to beat. James McAuley has an enviable record in races of this nature and his three contenders all warrant respect. Bringsty appears his leading hope, but has failed to get the better of the selection in three previous meetings. Jaafel makes his debut for Hilltop Racing and while he is a three-time winner on the all-weather, he is without a win from 17 starts on turf. Eloquent Arthur is tried in blinkers for the first time and should be able to make his presence felt, while Chicago Storm has decent snippets of form and looks the best of the remainder.

CHICAGO STORM has regularly run to a fair level in maidens and might be able to get off the mark with his sights lowered. James McAuley pair Jaafel and Bringsty head the dangers along with Eloquent Arthur.

James McAuley has multiple runners in a type of race in which he excels. BRINGSTY gets the vote to end a sequence of seconds
Class & Speed Card

A narrow winner at Musselburgh on his final start for Tracey Waggott three weeks ago, ARCHDUKE FERDINAND looks more than capable of defying a subsequent 1lb rise in the handicap and he is fancied to repeat the dose. Ayr Poet seldom runs poorly around here and must be respected in receipt of weight all round, while Star Shield ought to feature following a string of solid performances. Irish Flame remains unexposed and must also be noted.

AYR POET has improved with each outing this term and figures off a handy mark. He gets the nod in the finale. Star Shield and Archduke Ferdinand can also make their presence felt.

Dual course winner AYR POET had a near miss here last Monday and is a major player again if he can repeat that form back in trip.
Class & Speed Card

NOSTRINGSATTACHED could be the one to side with. Second of 16 on her most recent start at Limerick, she had subsequent winner Fernao a place behind in third. Formerly trained by Jim Bolger, Fanaigi Linn is an interesting contender on debut for Eoin Doyle. The Parish Hall chestnut has some solid form to her name and should be able to make an impact in a contest of this quality. Fitted with cheekpieces for the first time, Moonlit Mist is likely to have plenty of supporters, while Treasured Soul and Neowise are the other leading hopes.

Quite a tight maiden. NOSTRINGSATTACHED gets the vote for the Andrew Kinirons team. Fanaigi Linn, who sets out for a new stable here, and Treasured Soul might be the pair to give her most to think about.
Class & Speed Card

In a race with very little form to work with the chances of Newcastle second TAN RAPIDO stand out with every likelihood he can and will improve for that experience, and he has a decent draw in the two stall. Haumea looks an interesting newcomer as a daughter of Invincible Spirit for Sir Mark Prescott and she could go well, despite her lack of experience. Mecca's Duchess may try to lead them all a merry dance from the off, and could hold on for a place.

Newcomer AIRMAN is presumably held in high regard (entered in the Group 2 Gimcrack Stakes) and it will look significant if the market speaks in his favour. He gets the nod ahead of Tan Rapido, who chased home a Roger Varian-trained colt on debut at Newcastle and looks a big threat with improvement on the cards. Hint of The Jungle made an encouraging start to his career at Windsor and is third choice ahead of Mecca's Duchess and debutante Haumea.

Quite open. HALF MOON RISING was quite eyecatching at Doncaster given how strong a hold he took for the most part of that race.
Class & Speed Card

BOOYEA has come into his own in handicap company and might be able to defy top-weight in this tricky affair. A surprise winner at Gowran last month, he showed that was no flash in the pan by finishing second on his most recent start on Derby weekend at the Curragh. He went down by just half-a-length at the Co Kildare venue and had the now 92 rated Nation's Call a place behind in third. Status Green is given second preference. He came home well at Killarney last week and should be able to build on that performance. Alazne made the breakthrough at Limerick last month and while she warrants respect, she is unlikely to be suited by this drop in trip. A dual winner at Dundalk, Malacanne is sure to have plenty of supporters, while Portreath is another leading contender after finishing second over the course and distance on his most recent start.

PORTREATH is on an upward curve and, having found only one too good at this course last time, he's worth a chance to go one better. Booyea fits a similar mould and should be on the premises, while Status Green is open to improvement, so he's worth considering.
Class & Speed Card

A fairly open nursery could go the way of JE NE SAIS QUOI. She finished second, in front of Politico (fifth), Notta Nother (eighth) and Mullins Beach (ninth) at Haydock last time, so the Dandy Man filly looks well placed to confirm that form en route to a second career victory. Flag Of St George struggled in the Coventry but he must be respected down in class, while fellow class-dropper Matters Most can also figure, for all that an opening mark of 85 wouldn't appear to be a gift.

JE NE SAIS QUOI soon got back on track when runner-up at Haydock on her nursery debut last time, travelling best, so she is taken to go one better. Expensive-purchase Matters Most isn't taken lightly as he makes his handicap bow, while Flag of St George could fare better after facing a stiff task at Royal Ascot.

Je Ne Sais Quoi is respected but preference is for FLAG OF ST GEORGE, who won a Newmaket novice pretty comfortably in May.
Class & Speed Card

John Kirkup has been in good form, with a top four finish on five of his seven starts this season, and he may go well again, while Sherdil would be of interest if the going dries out with two C&D wins to his name off 1lb higher last year. Both could get involved, but if SPANISH ANGEL can transfer his recent all-weather form to the turf, that may be enough. A winner at Wolverhampton off 7lb higher this month, he is well handicapped on grass and may follow up if he takes to the softer going.

IMPRESSOR did the job well with cheekpieces refitted at Hamilton recently and a 7 lb rise may not be enough to prevent him from going in again, if in a similar mood here. A close third at Catterick last week, High Opinion could be the one to follow the selection home, though the consistent Spanish Angel is also feared having scored off a 7 lb higher all-weather mark last time. Mumcat is also shortlisted.
Class & Speed Card

QASBAZ is 9lb higher than when winning well at Navan recently but likely rain-softened ground should suit. A dependable three-time winner, he is in-form and suited by this distance. Celebrating Ethel faces a slightly lesser task than in recent maidens but nonetheless debuts in handicaps and drops in distance. She is, however, out of an unraced dam whose half-sister won a Group 1 at this distance but soft ground would be a concern. Theophilos has been running well and should compete from his rating but runs in a first-time tongue-tie on a track which, given his size, might not prove ideal. Yokkell has won at this distance and is in-form but has won just once from 18 runs. Only For Me is an 11-race maiden but has form while Persian Queen is declared to run at the Curragh on Sunday.

The vote goes to YOKKELL, who put in another good shift when sixth in a competitive handicap at the Curragh last time. Theophilos is likely to benefit from this drop back in trip after appearing to find 13f too stiff at Leopardstown and he is second choice ahead of recent decisive Navan winner Qasbaz. Handicap debutante Celebrating Ethel is also shortlisted.

This looks open. ONLY FOR ME did not quite live to market expectations at Fairyhouse but may prove more effective on an easier surface
Class & Speed Card

Beveragino sets the form standard having placed in both of her starts but, though respected, a drop in trip might not play to her strengths. Heritage House shaped with enough promise on her racecourse debut to suggest she could play a leading role tonight, while Magic Light is another that must enter the reckoning. A chance, however, is taken on the Clive Cox-trained ONTHEMONEYHONEY. A half-sister to the talented The Green Man, there's plenty to like on paper and it would be no surprise were she to be heavily involved.

The drop to 6f could be a good move for BEVERAGINO who gets a narrow vote ahead of last Monday's C&D runner-up Magic Light. Newbury third Xaarine looks best of the rest unless the betting speaks in the favour of one or more of the newcomers.

Preference is for MAGIC LIGHT who has among the best form and showed it over 6f. Xaarine is next, ahead of Beveragino.
Class & Speed Card

On The River had been in great form, with three wins and a neck second, before his Carlisle seventh. He likes it at Beverley and could be the biggest danger to course specialist UGO GREGORY. The winner of four races here and placed in a further three, he won by two lengths over C&D last week and should make a bold bid at shrugging off his 4lb penalty. Cori Glory and Ring Of Gold are others to consider.

IN THESE SHOES posted a big effort when runner-up at Newmarket last time and, for all that this looks a competitive race for the grade, she makes most appeal. Ugo Gregory has an excellent record here and should go well again, while Cori Glory is no forlorn hope.
Class & Speed Card

MR RANGO met some trouble in-running at the Curragh in May and will be ideally suited by rain, which is forecast. Able and generally dependable, he should be suited by dropping back to today's distance and should compete from his rating. Vishio, a six-time winner, won well at Tramore and while she has obvious claims from 5lb higher, soft ground would be concerning. Hell Bent is also in-form but would prefer a sound surface while Last Ammo's form is also on good ground and is held by Hell Bent on recent Fairyhouse form. Rain, a 210,000gns yearling and purchased by current connections from Godolphin for 33,000-euros last December, won in France for Andre Fabre but has been well held in two Irish runs. Kojin has been out of sorts since winning at Clonmel last September.

Worn down late on over 14.2f at Fairyhouse recently, HELL BENT could take some catching if again ridden positively down in trip here. Vischio resumed winning ways at Tramore last time and she is respected, despite going up 5 lb for that, while Last Ammo and Mr Rango both enter calculations, too.
Class & Speed Card

PATERNOSTER SQUARE arrives having recorded back-to-back seconds over 1m, but the son of Invincible Spirit looks set to relish this step up in trip and is fancied to strike at the fifth time of asking. Third at Kempton last month, Albany appeals as the type to improve now switched to turf. William Haggas has enjoyed success in this contest in recent years, so Mistress Light must enter calculations, for all that a wide draw is far from ideal.

It may be a case of third time lucky for ALBANY, who was beaten less than a length into third by progressive stablemate La Isla Mujeres at Kempton back from a six-month break, form which was boosted when the winner bolted up in a handicap next time. She boasts a good pedigree and remains open to improvement. Paternoster Square should pick up a race before long and he is next on the list ahead of likely-looking newcomers Guard and Mistress Light.

Mythical Guest and Paternoster Square have very similar form on turf but ALBANY's second on the Kempton AW earns the vote.
Class & Speed Card

A comfortable winner over C&D last time, REVOQUABLE must hold every chance if building upon that effort, and a 3lb rise for that success could prove lenient. The four-year-old is preferred ahead of the likes of course winner How Bizarre and All Dunn, who is of interest on his first start for new connections having gone close at Wolverhampton 13 days ago.

Not a strong handicap and REVOQUABLE could be set to follow up his recent C&D victory. All Dunn is interesting for a new yard, while Ey Up Its Jazz should get back on track after last week's return at Ayr.
Class & Speed Card

SUMMER FLY ran well on Irish debut over today's course-and-distance last month. A winner over a staying 1m2f-distance as a two-year-old, she hasn't won since November 2020 but was thereafter probably running over the wrong distance (generally at a mile) in France until selling for 3,500-euros last November. Upped to a middle-distance last month, she ran well and relishes soft ground. Viceregent has been beaten 13 times over hurdles since his last flat run in 2021 but is suited by this distance and soft ground, with Adam Caffrey having a good record (2-4) for today's trainer. No Hassle is lightly-raced and is in form but soft ground mightn't ideally suit. While You're Up, a 13-race maiden, has good recent form and is ground-versatile but is drawn wide in 16. Clever Currency is fit from jumping but has yet to place from 10 Flat runs while Dubai Clover showed some improvement at Bellewstown.

Preference is for WHILE YOU'RE UP, who confirmed the promise of his return when runner-up at Tramore earlier this month and remains fairly treated. No Hassle and Summer Fly should also go well.
Class & Speed Card

LADY DREAMER ran on well to win by half a length over course and distance at the beginning of the month and she looks reasonably weighted off a mark of 75 for her handicap debut. As a three-year-old, she gets weight from her elders and, with Sean Levey keeping the ride, she can go well again. Recent course second Airshow might be her most serious rival, while Alcazan has a chance on her better form.

There should be more to come from LADY DREAMER, who deservedly broke her duck here earlier this month. She can make a successful handicap debut. The Cruising Lord and Count Otto rate the principal dangers.
Class & Speed Card

DANDY'S ANGEL has been in a fine vein of form of late and a third win in five starts could be in the offing for the daughter of Dandy Man, as she looks to follow up a determined success at Carlisle. Runner-up over slightly shorter at Hamilton, Precedent looks to be her main danger, ahead of Motarajel, who ran well when sent off favourite latest.

PRECEDENT bumped into a progressive rival at Hamilton 9 days ago and, in a less-competitive affair, he makes most appeal. Motarajel and Dandy's Angel should also be on the premises.
Class & Speed Card

Smart hurdler SUPRISE PACKAGE returned following a 461-days absence at Leopardstown just 11 days ago and it is encouraging connections have opted to run him back quickly. Winner of the 2022 Imperial Cup, he is suited by easy ground and while he tired at Leopardstown, should improve from the run and dropping in distance could suit better, given he was a pacey hurdler. Banned is consistent and thus more dependable than the selection but lacks his ability and softening ground is a concern, despite finishing second once on soft at Ffos Las in 2022. Wasthatok's form is mostly on good ground and on a line through Barnacullia (fourth at Down Royal, third at Roscommon), is closely enough matched with Banned. Knight Sleeper was well held at Down Royal while useful hurdler Mighty Mo Missouri is ground-versatile but makes his Flat debut and hasn't run since April.

A weak maiden in which BANNED makes most appeal for all that her losing run is stacking up. Wasthatok and Suprise Package are both dangers based on their jumping exploits.

Talented hurdler SUPRISE PACKAGE may have derived sufficient from his Leopardstown comeback to thwart the frustrating Banned
Class & Speed Card

Decoration may prove popular here after the daughter of Frankel got off the mark over C&D earlier this month, but a mark of 80 looks high enough and she will need to improve again to be successful. BLUE MISSILE won at the second attempt as a juvenile but pulled too hard to have any chance on her return in Listed class at Goodwood in May. This represents a big drop in class and she should go well, with Ludmilla and Zarga others to consider.

ZARGA has shaped well when placed in handicaps both outings this year, meeting trouble and conceding first run when second at Redcar last time, so she can continue her progress to get off the mark this time around. Chealamy has also shown improved form on her last 2 starts and is feared most, ahead of Blue Missile.

There are positives about the whole field. DOUBLE MARCH receives the vote ahead of Zarga and Decoration.
Class & Speed Card

FREAK OUT has made this track his own with a pair of comfortable successes over C&D the last twice and there should be much more to come from Gemma Tutty's charge. Arkenstaar has been consistent of late and he must enter calculations, along with the well-handicapped Solar Joe and Invisible Friend, who remains unexposed and open to improvement. She has undergone wind surgery since her latest outing.

The consistent ARKENSTAAR did well to finish as close as he did under the circumstances at Haydock earlier this month and, still on a fair mark, he is taken to resume winning ways. Freak Out has bagged C&D handicaps the last twice and is likely to make a bold bid to complete the hat-trick. He is feared most ahead of the filly Invisible Friend, who hasn't offered much in 2 starts so far this year but has undergone a wind op and remains of interest in view of the promise she showed last term.
Class & Speed Card

Oh So Audacious was sent off favourite when winning by a neck here last time out and it will be interesting to see if she is supported in the market again racing off just 2lb higher in the handicap. EYE OF THE WATER was an unlucky loser at Bath when beaten a head into third despite failing to get a run a furlong out, and he may make amends here. Dynakite would be a danger to all if he can transfer his all-weather form to the turf.

OH SO AUDACIOUS arrives on the back of a C&D success and is worth a chance to follow up. Eye of The Water arrives in good order and should pose a threat along with Flying Panther.
Ths is the racecard key.

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.
