She's A Gambler

1.38/1(-38%)
(1) She's A Gambler 1.38/1, Well prepared to win 9-runner maiden at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) on debut 22 days ago, always holding on. Penalty to carry but this isn't a strong race on paper.

LTO Selection:

14:15 Thirsk Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Even though SHE'S A GAMBLER has to shoulder a 7lb penalty following a pleasing win on her debut at Wetherby last month, she receives a fillies' allowance and looks the one to side with. Her dam was Italian Listed-placed during her career so there is likely more in the daughter of Cotai Glory's locker. The unraced Nobility Blue is feared most, although fellow newcomer Kesteven Rda warrants a market check.

SHE'S A GAMBLER was another Richard Fahey newcomer who was well prepared to make a winning debut and in a run-of-the-mill novice, she's capable of defying a penalty. Vince L'amour showed enough speed starting out at Ripon to make him of interest, with Kesteven Rda a debutante of some interest despite her very cheap price tag.

Richard Fahey's SHE'S A GAMBLER had a bit up her sleeve at Wetherby and can defy a 7lb penalty.

Latest effort tempers enthusiasm but likely to be involved if back to her Doncaster form..
LTO Selection:

14:30 Musselburgh Maiden (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

The veteran of eight races, Chumbaa already has so much experience under her belt and her turn will surely come sooner rather than later. INDICATION SPIRIT made a debut full of promise when runner-up at Hamilton, though, and natural improvement may be enough to see her home in front. Grecian Princess is in with a shout if judged on her Doncaster fourth rather than her subsequent Hamilton failure.

Despite proving easy to back, INDICATION SPIRIT showed definite promise when runner-up to one with a lot more experience on debut at Hamilton 2 weeks ago and she could well be worth siding with to build on that now. Chumbaa has had a number of chances already but rates a big player on the back of last week's Carlisle second. Willolarupi wouldn't need to be any great shakes to play a hand on his debut, either.

Given her promising debut effort, INDICATION SPIRIT is the suggestion. Chumbaa has achieved a similar level.

LTO Selection:

14:45 Thirsk Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

BEECHWOOD STAR is out of Group 3 winner Ponty Acclaim and is taken to make a successful start to his career in a fairly open contest. A full-brother to C&D scorer Claim The Stars, Richard Fahey's colt is fancied to get the better of Beyond Borders, who can build on a fair fifth over this distance at Ayr last month. The progressive Mr Irrelevant is another to consider.

BEYOND BORDERS is the percentage call after showing clear promise by the end of his recent Ayr debut, although a strong market move for Richard Fahey newcomer Beechwood Star would put a different slant on things. Mr Irrelevant may prove best of the remainder.

Karl Burke's Harry Angel colt EEYOND BORDERS came home well when fifth on his debut at Ayr and looks the way to go with better to come.

Tailed off over hurdles on return from a break; blinkers need to turn matters around.

Second of three at Fakenham on return from year off; this needs a deal more.
LTO Selection:

14:53 Worcester Handicap Chase (Class 5) 23f Race Class Flow

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

Dindin did it nicely over C&D on his latest outing and he is likely to have many supporters off 5lb higher, but the vote goes to RON BURGUNDY, who was a long way clear of the fourth when hitting the frame in a class 4 event last time and ought to go very close off the same mark. The application of a first-time visor is a possible source of improvement. Ahead Of The Field could also have a say.

SINISTER MINISTER has run a couple of sound races over 2½m here since switching to fences and gets the nod with the slightly longer trip a potential positive. Last month's C&D scorer Dindin heads the dangers along with Rebel Leader and Ron Burgundy.

Although she was pulled up on her latest start, PRESENT STORM (nap) still has plenty going for her.

Well below foirm since last win and it's hard to make a case for him on recent evidence..
LTO Selection:

15:05 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

SPANISH HUSTLE found 1m1f too sharp at Hamilton on his return to the level, but he put that behind him when upped to 1m3f at the same venue, accounting for a subsequent winner, and the extra yardage here can help him improve further. Spirit Of Ash also arrives in winning form, numbering Marcello Si among her Newcastle victims, although that did come out of the blue a bit and she isn't guaranteed to confirm the form. Tafsir completes the shortlist.

MARCELLO SI was beaten just under 4 lengths when fourth behind Spirit of Ash at Newcastle a fortnight ago but, as was the case on his seasonal reappearance at the same course in May, he was arguably sent for home too early. He meets that rival on 4 lb better terms back up in trip here and is taken to open his account at the tenth attempt. Spirit of Ash is respected nonetheless and is feared most ahead of Tafsir.

A weak contest where SPANISH HUSTLE (nap) looks capable of backing up his Hamilton win and defying a 3lb rise now upped again in trip.

LTO Selection:

15:15 Thirsk Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Hey Mr took a big step forward when scoring over 5f at Nottingham last week, but that was arguably the result of a falling handicap mark and he could struggle under a 5lb penalty. Therefore, a chance is taken on CANARIA PRINCE, who has been consistent of late and can improve from a fair third at Ripon now off 1lb lower. Spanish Angel also merits consideration with his recent consistency in mind.

Having joined Paul Midgley this year, HEY MR left his previous efforts for his current yard behind when winning at Nottingham 6 days ago and he remains well treated on old form. The 5-y-o is taken to follow up, with Canaria Prince feared most having made the frame on all 3 of his previous outings here. Spanish Angel can also go well back at this course.

A chance is taken on SEE MY BABY JIVE, who has shaped well on occasions and should improve for her reappearance run.

LTO Selection:

15:23 Worcester Handicap Chase (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

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

MOLE COURT recorded an easy victory last time over C&D when sporting first-time cheekpieces, which are retained, and he is now asked to compete off an 8lb higher rating. The six-year-old makes only his third start over fences, so he can improve further to make it a double. Last-time-out victor Abaya Du Mathan warrants plenty of respect, while Harry Du Berlais also enters calculations.

This race lacks depth and MOLE COURT is firmly on the up, so he's an obvious choice to go in again. Fellow last-time-out winner Abaya du Mathan is the main danger and Tom O'Roughley isn't dismissed.

Despite the 8lb rise for his C&D win, MOLE COURT still appeals most.

Well beaten when 80-1 on handicap debut at Newcastle in May; plenty to prove.
LTO Selection:

15:35 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow

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

All bar Castleberg Rock are previous C&D winners, including ON A SESSION, who had Manigordo back in third when landing this prize last year. He again had that rival behind him when successful here in April and will find this easier than the Epsom handicap he contested on Oaks day. Manigordo must not be dismissed lightly, arriving as he does on the back of a Beverley triumph. Gioia Cieca was behind On A Session and Manigordo in that April contest, but could close the gap in a first-time visor.

ON A SESSION wasn't at his best at Epsom on his latest outing, yet he's produced some of his very best efforts over this C&D and he's worth siding with to get back to winning ways. Autumn Festival will find this less demanding than his latest Sandown assignment and the assessor is slowly relinquishing his grip. Beverley-scorer Manigordo can also figure.

There is a good chance the front-runner AUTUMN FESTIVAL will enjoy an uncontested lead. On A Session is feared most.

LTO Selection:

15:45 Thirsk Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

QUERCUS may have disappointed at Newcastle a couple of weeks ago, but he did it well at Catterick the time before and the six-year-old must hold strong claims if bouncing back to that sort of form. Golden Gal has been consistent this season without getting her head in front and she is a key player, alongside Peachey Carnehan and Ginato, who was beaten just half a length into third at Ripon.

QUERCUS enhanced his good record at Catterick in June and is taken to bounce back from a poor effort last time with the benefit of an advantageous high draw. Made of Lir finished ahead of Ginato at Ripon last time and that pair are both respected again, whilst Golden Gal lurks on an interesting mark and isn't discounted.

This is a tricky puzzle but ERAZMUS finished a lot closer last time and may be able to build on that to get off the mark.

LTO Selection:

15:53 Worcester NH Flat Race (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Theweddingcanwait is an interesting contender and she has returned to previous trainer Fergal O'Brien since her latest runner-up effort over C&D. Preference is for FOUNTAINSPINKLADY, who attempted to make all last time until just fading late on, and she looks a live player sporting a first-time tongue-tie on her first start for her new handler Anythony Honeyball. Daytona Beach is also worthy of consideration.

DAYTONA BEACH was disappointing at Southwell in March but had previously shaped with plenty of promise in a listed race. She's taken to get back on track, with Most Agreeable and Fountainspinklady feared most.

It may pay to forgive DAYTONA BEACH her poor run when last seen.

LTO Selection:

16:05 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 9f Race Class Flow

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

How Bizarre did it nicely over a mile at this track on his latest outing and he can get in contention once more off 4lb higher, but the vote goes to TACITUS. He was victorious by a length and a half last time at Redcar in this grade and, with the extra furlong unlikely to pose any problems, he can go in again. Shine On Brendan is a consistent performer and his time could be near, so he is one to watch out for.

CHINESE SPIRIT chased home How Bizarre here last time and the pair may well dominate once more. The former is marginally preferred having conceded first run on that occasion, with recent Redcar-winner Tacitus the pick of the remainder.

An open contest in which Jim Goldie is mob handed and one of his runners, AYR POET, is of greatest interest.

LTO Selection:

16:15 Thirsk Stakes (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

MUBHIJAH may still be a maiden after eight starts, but she has been runner-up on three of her last four outings and the daughter of Shamardal deserves a change in luck. The Roger Varian-trained filly can get the better of Laoisman, who had Onslow Gardens a couple of positions behind him when third at Doncaster last time out. Eyeshadow is another with the potential to improve for going up in trip.

MUBHIJAH is pretty exposed now but she holds a form edge and this could finally be the day she sheds her maiden status. Laoisman is likely to give it another good shot, with Onslow Gardens dangerous if back on his game.

English Oak looks a likely improver for a yard going well but LAOISMAN ran a cracker at Doncaster and can make it fourth-time lucky

Followed that with a solid second over 3m at Doncaster 2 months later (absent since but can clearly go well fresh) and she's a big player for top yard that saddled the winner of this in 2021.

Two wins last spring but two heavy defeats this year; wind surgery.
LTO Selection:

16:23 Worcester Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 23f Race Class Flow

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

Narrowly denied over C&D on his first start since rejoining the Fergal O'Brien stable, POLISH is taken to go one better off a mark which is 10lb lower than his last victory. Gentleman Valley arrives on a hat-trick and must be a leading contender, along with Go Chique, who has his first start since a very creditable second at Doncaster last November.

It's hard to completely rule any of these out but POLISH is the most appealing following a fine effort in defeat back in this sphere over C&D last month. He remains 8 lb below his last winning mark and gets the nod ahead of Go Chique, who scored on the back of a similar absence at Bangor in September. The hat-trick seeking Gentleman Valley will be a threat, too, if keeping it together and Irish Prophecy is of interest back hurdling off an attractive mark.

Having shown that she can win after a break, GO CHIQUE edges the vote.

LTO Selection:

16:35 Tipperary Stakes 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

CATHERINE OF SIENA could be rewarded for her enduring consistency. Kevin Coleman's charge hasn't been out of the places since July last year. During that time, she has bagged sprint victories in Dundalk and was last seen being pipped by a neck in a Listed race at Chelmsford City in April. The one caveat is that she has been extensively campaigned on all-weather surfaces since November and has to show she is as effective on turf. Lady Tilbury is best in at the weights and could profit if fully recovered from Sunday's exertions in fifth in a Listed race at the Curragh. Harmony Rose was in decent nick before failing to make an impression in the ultra-competitive Rockingham on Sunday. She is entitled to be in the hunt for prize money off her mark. Parting Glass has plenty of ability, but faces a stiff task at these weights.

This can go to LADY TILBURY, who has acquitted herself well in listed company in recent starts. Catherine of Siena and Harmony Rose are the obvious dangers.

Quite highly tried of late LADY TILBURY (nap) can take advantage of this drop in class

9yo who isn't the force of old but drops into a Class 4 for the first time since 2017.
LTO Selection:

16:42 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

GLORY FIGHTER went from pillar to post last time at Catterick when sporting first-time cheekpieces and he was rightly hit with an 8lb rise. Given the manner of the win, that hike in the ratings may not be enough to prevent the seven-year-old from making it a double. Copper Knight was a disappointing favourite last time as he finished last of eight, but his mark continues to drop, which gives him a chance. Venturous is more than capable at this level as well.

COPPER KNIGHT has failed to build on his encouraging reappearance in 4 subsequent starts but it would be no surprise were he to bounce back having dipped to a career-low mark. The 9-y-o has most to fear from Glory Fighter, who did the job well in first-time cheekpieces at Catterick last month and an 8 lb rise may not be enough to prevent another bold bid. Khabib will also be a threat if ready to roll following a 3-month break.

Musselburgh has brought out the best in ROCK MELODY since she joined Jim Goldie and she is selected to follow up her recent C&D win.

LTO Selection:

16:50 Thirsk Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

This can go the way of BIPLANE, who has been in terrific form of late and stuck her neck out to score at Redcar on her most recent start. A 3lb rise for that success could prove lenient and she gets the vote ahead of Lilikoi and Rocket Rod, who was a determined winner at Doncaster last time out. Others to note include Blackjack, Honour Your Dreams and Temper Trap.

BIPLANE did well to get up off a steady pace at Redcar and could still be on a good mark. Lilikoi has had a consistent spell and rates a threat, while Tender Trap shaped a bit better last time and is well treated judged on last year's form.

Honour Your Dreams can go well but LILIKOI is preferred in the hope she'll find this being run to suit.

LTO Selection:

16:58 Worcester 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 Flat, BAILEYS DERBYDAY seems to be getting the hang of things in this sphere judged by a stylish win over C&D last month. Amy Murphy's charge is narrowly preferred to comfortable Warwick scorer Allihies and Myristica, who arrives on a hat-trick after easy wins the last twice. Rick Blaine performed with credit on his debut in this sphere and cannot be ruled out either.

MYRISTICA has made a fine start to her hurdling career and is taken to bring up the hat-trick with further improvement on the cards. Allihies is feared most ahead of Baileys Derbyday.

The progressive MYRISTICA can defy a 12lb penalty.

LTO Selection:

17:05 Tipperary Listed 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ALABAMA was drawn on the wrong side in the Listed Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot, so his fifth place can be marked up. He led home the low-drawn numbers, but finished behind horses drawn 19, 15, 16 and 18. The blinkers that were enlisted for the first time there have been retained. Gunzburg is a very speedy filly as evidenced by her Down Royal success over the flying 5f and her runner-up spot in a Group 2 at the Curragh on Saturday. Tiger Belle showed plenty of dash to win at Cork before finishing second over C&D at the end of May, while Gaenari was only headed close home on debut at the Curragh after attracting plenty of support.

ALABAMA led home his group when fifth in the Windsor Castle a fortnight ago and with his limit unlikely to have been reached, he looks the way to go. Gunzburg took a leap forward when runner-up in a Group 2 at the Curragh on Saturday and is a major player if turned out quickly, with Tiger Belle completing the shortlist.

Having finished clear of those racing on the far side at Ascot, Windsor Castle fifth ALABAMA looks the one to beat

LTO Selection:

17:15 Musselburgh Stakes (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Bonito Cavalo has been sent off at fancied odds on each of his last three starts and has failed to justify that support, but he is more than capable at this level. However, preference is for GOLDEN PROSPERITY, who was just over three lengths clear of the third last time at Ripon in a class 6 handicap and he can go one better to finally shed his maiden tag. Iconicdaay completes the shortlist.

GULLANE ONE went off too hard at Ripon last time but should have more in his favour from a high draw, so he may well prove difficult to peg back. Bonito Cavalo had an excuse last time and had been in good form previously, so he's another one to consider. Golden Prosperity is a likely player, too.

This could be a good opportunity for recent Ripon runner-up GOLDEN PROSPERITY to post his first win. Bonito Cavalo is a danger.

LTO Selection:

17:20 Thirsk Handicap (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow

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

A game winner over 5f at Chester in May, DANGER ALERT now makes his debut for the Alice Haynes stable and the improving three-year-old rates the one to beat off 6lb higher. He is yet to finish outside the first two in handicap company and, with further progression likely, gets the vote from the class-dropping Mr Wagyu. Rock Of England found only one too strong when attempting to supplement a Hamilton victory at Ripon and is another to consider.

A useful sprint. MR WAGYU was a highly creditable seventh in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot and could take a bit of stopping in this lower grade. Rock of England will be a threat if the blinkers continue to have a positive effect. Tinto is on a winning mark and is another to consider.

The vote goes to ROCK OF ENGLAND (nap) who hasn't looked back since blinkered and can defy a career-high mark to bag a second C&D win.

LTO Selection:

17:28 Worcester Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Now that the penny has finally dropped for EATON LADY after a determined success at Uttoxeter over further in May, there should be much more to come from the seven-year-old mare. With conditions in her favour again, she can get the better of Jina and Hashehadhisoatsyet, who ran a career best when third at Bangor-on-Dee. Champagne Gift and Edinburgh Rock are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

Uttoxeter scorer EATON LADY is not long with her current yard so she looks to have excellent claims of following up from only 2 lb higher. Hashehadhisoatsyet bettered his previous efforts when third at Bangor in May and may do better still given his lightly-raced profile, while Champagne Gift is worth another chance to improve with a recent run under his belt.

Although pulled up over C&D latest, HILLSIN is still the pick.

LTO Selection:

17:40 Tipperary Handicap 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

NOT TOO REAL BAD has been competing at a higher level in her last three starts. She was successful over this trip in Cork and wasn't beaten far into fourth at that venue on her latest outing, so should appreciate this company. Aloysius Lilius has switched stables since the retirement of trainer Gerard O'Leary. He has claims on his first start for Darren Bunyan as he is down to his last winning mark of 64 and Dean Curran claims 4lb. Rathbranchurch attempted to make all in Down Royal before dropping to fourth. He is drawn to attack in stall two and Sean Bird lessens his burden by 7lb. Mymomentintime ran third in a big-field sprint at Navan which brings him into contention and he has a Curragh victory from the end of last season in his locker.

MYMOMENTINTIME ran right up to his best when third at Naas in May and back from a short break, he could be the way to go. Rathbranchurch and Not Too Real Bad are viable threats, with Aloysius Lilius one to monitor in the betting starting out for a new yard.

Although she needs luck in running it may pay to side with NOT TOO REAL BAD here with Jamie Powell booked

LTO Selection:

17:50 Thirsk Handicap (Class 6) 14f Race Class Flow

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

A stiffer stamina test will suit ROCK N ROLL PINKIE, given she seemed outpaced over 1m4f at Leicester. She is rated 3lb higher than when breaking her duck over this distance at Wetherby before that, but Elle-May Croot takes 7lb off her back so Ivan Furtado's filly seems fairly well treated. Grain Of Hope remains unexposed and could have more to offer, while Timewave completes the shortlist in a first-time visor.

CORSICAN CAPER wasn't quite on his game last time but he'd been on the up previously and should find this easier, so he can shed his maiden tag if he gets the longer trip. Timewave is another one to consider and A Day To Dream is expected to be back to form.

A Day To Dream and ROCK N ROLL PINKIE have accomplished something at 1m6f, while Grain Of Hope could do so at the first attempt.

Still lightly raced on turf, but brave to name this the day given a 0-20 Flat record.
LTO Selection:

18:00 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

There has been no stopping FACT OR FABLE of late and the recent course winner switches back to handicap company following a comfortable success over a mile last month. Taylor Fisher negates all of the gelding's 5lb penalty for that success courtesy of his claim in the plate, and another bold showing looks assured. We're Reunited is rated 3lb higher for a game win over C&D in May and is feared most, while Salta Resta completes the shortlist.

Preference is for MORE THAN LIKELY, who grabbed a share of the spoils here last month and remains feasibly treated. Salta Resta and We're Reunited should also go well.

Both DESERT and Salta Resta remain weighted to go closest, perhaps in that order, so long as they race sufficiently sparingly.

A 34,000euros vendor buyback at the sales; likely best watched on debut.
LTO Selection:

18:10 Tipperary Stakes 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SPANISH FLAME was electric in Roscommon and can give weight away to the field. The Phoenix Of Spain colt stormed home by six lengths to mark himself out as a juvenile to follow and he holds an entry in the Group 1 National Stakes at the Curragh. Aidan O'Brien's juveniles are winning at a 37 per cent strike rate in Ireland this season, at the time of writing, and the champion trainer's Portland has to be given plenty of respect. He was a beaten favourite in third at the Curragh, but wasn't far off the winner. He looks sure to progress from that effort and has the same Group 1 entry. Jessica Harrington introduces Siyouni colt Versatile who has that National Stakes entry while Donnacha O'Brien's Galileo newcomer Bremen should be given a market check. Chicago Fireball was a place behind Portland at the Curragh and didn't go unbacked. He's another that could get in the mix for an in-form Johnny Murtagh.

SPANISH FLAME confirmed debut promise when running out an impressive winner of a Roscommon maiden 5 weeks ago and, with the prospect of more to come, he can concede weight all round and follow up. Portland, an encouraging third in a Curragh maiden himself last month is next best, with Versatile a newcomer to note.

PORTLAND is put forward as the solution. He can show the benefit of his Curragh debut and uphold that form with Chicago Fireball

LTO Selection:

18:20 Epsom Handicap (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

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

TRALEE HILLS bounced back to form with a comfortable success at Bath in April and, given a break since, Simon Hodgson's charge can notch up a second win in this contest, having prevailed under Serena Brotherton in 2021. The nine-year-old may have too much for fellow C&D scorer Captain Haddock and Tessy Lad, who has won over this trip before and shared the spoils over 1m2f at Newbury last time out.

LUCKY'S DREAM pulled clear of the remainder when a good second at Newbury last week and makes fair appeal off the same mark. Tessy Lad and Tralee Hills head the list of dangers in what looks a competitive opener.

Several need to be taken very seriously and the ground could be important. BUG BOY looks tempting on the form he showed last summer.

LTO Selection:

18:30 Bath Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

This represents a considerable drop in class for Recon Mission, who finished just better than mid-division in a class 2 at Epsom last month. He does have to shoulder top weight, though, so AMAZONIAN DREAM is fancied to get the better of him. He's off the same mark as when second at Ffos Las last month and, with more improvement likely, he's taken to go close. Some Nightmare is another to bear in mind.

AMAZONIAN DREAM would have finished even closer to an unexposed 3-y-o with a clear run at Ffos Las 10 days ago and he's a very appealing candidate from the same mark. Swift Asset and Recon Mission look the pick of the opposition.

Plenty looks set fair for AMAZONIAN DREAM to follow up last year's win in this race. Swift Asset may enjoy this intermediate trip.

LTO Selection:

18:40 Tipperary Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SIBYL CHARM could do some damage off a mark of 78 in her first handicap considering she has been placed in three of her four runs in maiden company. Cnodian appreciates cut in the ground and a deluge in Limerick played to her strengths when she won there last month. She handled better ground when keeping on for second at Leopardstown, though, after a less than clear route. Lady Arwen built upon a Curragh runner-up berth to oblige in Limerick and Jake Coen's 5lb claim is a big help to her. All the headgear was left off Chestnutter in Leopardstown and it worked the oracle as she made the breakthrough by a short head. If she is in the same mood, a 4lb rise shouldn't stop her. Linger For Longer wasn't far behind Cnodian in second at Limerick and, prior to that, was also second in Listowel, so she enters the equation. Fools Glory would welcome plenty of rain.

Any number of chances in a competitive fillies' handicap and with that in mind a chance is taken on DAZZLING SPIRIT. She needs to cut out the tardy starts but is certainly capable of going close from this sort of mark on the evidence of her last 2 starts and a good pace to aim at here will aid her cause. Linger For Longer, Lady Arwen and Cnodian head the dangers, ahead of last year's winner Karlsberg.

A very wide open handicap. LINGER FOR LONGER could find this trip ideal and gets the vote to reverse Limerick form with Cnodian

LTO Selection:

18:50 Epsom Maiden (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

VAHA has shown marked improvement with each start, and he looks the one to beat if building upon an excellent effort at Lingfield when narrowly denied on his first go at this trip. Cloud Free ran a stormer on debut when second at Beverley and he must enter calculations along with Sahara Kitten, who finished a length and a half behind him in fourth on the Westwood.

VAHA has improved with each start and is taken to open his account at the fourth time of asking. Cloud Free and Sahara Kitten should have learnt plenty from their debut efforts and are much respected.

Cloud Free finished ahead of SAHARA KITTEN at Beverley when they made their debuts but the last-named is taken to turn the tables.

LTO Selection:

19:00 Bath Stakes (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

CLOUDY BREEZE seemed to appreciate a return to turf when finishing a much-improved second over this trip at Windsor last month. Dropping into a classified stakes race, Gary Moore's inmate is fancied to build on that second-placed effort and strike. Coronation Cottage was only narrowly denied at Chepstow on her most recent outing and can give the selection plenty to think about, along with Bankrupt.

CLOUDY BREEZE looked well served by forcing tactics back at the minimum trip when second at Windsor 9 days ago and, less exposed than most, she could be the answer eased in class. Coronation Cottage also found only one too good on her latest outing and is feared most, ahead of Bama Lama and Fair And Square.

Bama Lama ran well again yesterday. If she does not take part today, preference is for CLOUDY BREEZE over Coronation Cottage.

LTO Selection:

19:10 Tipperary Handicap 9f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

FRATAS landed a gamble in Ballinrobe and has prospects of following up. She showed good resolution to see off the runner-up and encounters a similar trip here. Cruiscin Lan drops back in trip after finishing second over an extended 1m3f in Limerick. The winner of that race is now rated 73, so Cruiscin Lan should be a factor here if appreciating this trip. Dappled Light was produced on the line to win in Killarney, and the way he saw that race out over an extended 1m bodes well for this step up in trip. Amemri was all out to win over 1m in Limerick and now has an extra furlong to negotiate. Miss Yvonne rallied to be a close third behind Amemri and is one to note in first-time cheekpieces. Attrazione had some fair form in Britain and makes her Irish debut off a break of more than five months.

STATUS GREEN caught the eye when a staying-on sixth under a hands-and-heels ride in 1m Limerick maiden recently and, with improvement likely over this slightly longer trip now handicapping, he could be the answer. Miss Yvonne was a close third to Amemri at the aforementioned course and, now 3 lb better off with that respected rival, she is taken to reverse the placings and emerge as the main danger. Dappled Light, a winner at Killarney last time, is also shortlisted.

CRUISCIN LAN is a token pick. He is well-drawn and will likely go forward, considering his second over 1m3f at Limerick last time

Struggled at Royal Ascot latest but earlier Windsor 2nd was a fine run; easy lead unlikely.
LTO Selection:

19:25 Epsom Handicap (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow

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

LIL GUFF is in a rich vein of form at present, despite her winning run coming to an end at Haydock last month. William Buick getting back on board is a big plus, though, and the step up in trip has the potential to eke out further improvement, with the unexposed Havana Pusey looking best placed to chase her home. Indian Creak and Society Lion have the form to get involved as well.

This looks wide open and with that in mind it could just pay to take a chance on TYGER BAY. He shaped better than the bare result on his latest outing at Wolverhampton 30 days ago and, from an easing mark, it would come as no surprise to see a good showing, particularly if any rain arrives. Lil Guff is enjoying a good campaign and is feared along with Rocking Ends. Havana Pusey also remains the type to do better.

Society Lion is in good form and can go well but LIL GUFF (nap) was in the form of her life last month and she can go in again.

LTO Selection:

19:35 Bath Maiden (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

ROGUE WARRIOR shaped with plenty of encouragement on debut at Windsor when beaten just under four lengths into second, and she's likely to have learned a great deal from that experience. Mountain Lake drops in distance and tries first-time cheekpieces after finishing third at Chepstow, while Oh So Grand could improve on her fourth at Chelmsford and also get involved.

ROGUE WARRIOR was no match for Royal Mila on debut at Windsor but that filly has Group-race aspirations and it's unlikely that she's up against anything of that calibre here. Next on the list is Godolphin's Mountain Lake, who wasn't beaten far when third to a progressive type in a Chepstow novice last month and this drop in trip/fitting of cheekpieces are potentially positive factors. Oh So Grand shaped with promise on her introduction and is also accorded respect.

The most appealing option is ROGUE WARRIOR, who made a pleasing start to her career at Windsor last month.

LTO Selection:

19:45 Tipperary Handicap 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

AL SAYAH ran on well for fifth, beaten just over two lengths, on handicap debut at Limerick and looks sure to appreciate this step up in trip. The first-time cheekpieces that were deployed in Limerick are retained for this assignment. No Hassle has been pipped by a short head at Cork and by a head in Fairyhouse, and he has solid claims particularly as the latter result came over 1m4f. The handicapper has raised him by 4lb, but he ought to be on the premises once again. There were valid excuses for Bright Moment's unplaced run at Leopardstown and it is worth noting that she posted two decent placed efforts before that. She tries a new trip and has stronger claims than most of the others. Bear Claws gave jockey Calum Hogan his first winner in Limerick and the pair have a shot at going in again.

AL SAYAH was doing some good late work when fifth at Limerick 3 weeks ago and, up in trip, she could find further improvement to open her account. Hello Power looks a danger and Bear Claws deserves respect having made a winning reappearance.

GLOVES OFF was noted running on at Leopardstown over 1m1f last time and is well drawn, so can score

Up 5lb for a snug Kempton success; could still have more to offer & one to take seriously.
LTO Selection:

20:00 Epsom Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

LITTLE BOY BLUE showed a good attitude when fending off a subsequent easy winner at Chepstow and with a 3lb rise deemed lenient, he gets the vote to follow up. Marlay Park has a fine record at this unique track, winning here three times, and emerged with plenty of credit when placed in a 0-100 handicap over C&D most recently. Dropped 1lb in the ratings since, he must enter calculations, while Zero Carbon and Woodstock also merit consideration.

MARLAY PARK again ran well at this course when third here a month ago and, back down in grade, he can build on that to record a fourth C&D success. Heading the list of dangers is Zero Carbon, who bounced back to his best when scoring at Kempton last time, while Little Boy Blue can also give another good account.

Course regular Marlay Park is greatly respected but ZERO CARBON is preferred on the back of a snug win at Kempton.

LTO Selection:

20:10 Bath Stakes (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Galactic Glow is two wins from his last three starts, with both of his victories coming over C&D. However, preference is for JIMMY MARK, who also has course-and-distance form to his name after scoring in a class 6 handicap on his penultimate start and, if he can find that level of form, he ought to go very close. Volenti filled the runner-up spot at Lingfield last time and also enters calculations.

GALACTIC GLOW got the better of Kraken Filly over C&D a week ago and he's worth a chance to uphold that form in a race that the pair may dominate once more. Jimmy Mark can also get involved if they go a sound pace.

He has something to prove but YOUNG WINSTON will be hard to beat in this grade if revitalised by a recent change of regime.

LTO Selection:

20:20 Tipperary Handicap 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

John McConnell's WILD SHOT showed more when fourth in Down Royal last month and has claims of gaining his ninth victory on the Flat. He is on a mark 2lb lower than his last success which also came under jockey Siobhan Rutledge. Belgoprince was well backed over further in Leopardstown, but finished in mid-division. He has form in the book over this sort of trip and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him heavily involved. First-time cheekpieces might eke out a bit more from Pale Moonlight who was last seen finishing fourth at Gowran Park in April. McConnell's Miss Upbeat isn't without claims based on her penultimate outing when placed in a Tipperary handicap over a similar trip.

PALE MOONLIGHT has shaped quite well on both outings this season and might prove the answer to this tricky finale. Former C&D scorer Wild Shot is respected on the back of his recent Down Royal fourth. French Company has been fairly consistent lately and should also have a part to play. Thefaithfulindian has been given a chance by the handicapper in this sphere and completes the shortlist.

A chance is taken on ANGEL OF THE PACE to go in on handicap debut. She is bred to appreciate this trip.

(2) Sweet Reward 2.25/1, Losing run stretches back to September 2021 but he's posted a number of solid efforts in defeat during the intervening period, not least when just touched off at Newbury (1¼m, good to firm) in May. Not in the same form at Sandown since but back down 2 lb and he's not without hope.
So nearly back on the scoresheet at Newbury this May, followed by a lesser effort.

2nd (1) Wandering Rocks (3.33/1 +17%)
Wandering Rocks

3.33/1(+17%)
(1) Wandering Rocks 3.33/1, Off the mark in 1¼m Doncaster novice last July and followed that with a couple of creditable efforts in handicap company. Didn't shape at all badly on return at Kempton and, though well held both starts over 1½m since, he may well bounce back down in the weights, class and trip here.
Well beaten on three of his last four starts and finished only seventh of 13 in the other.

3rd (10) Nonsuch Lad (6/1 +14%)
Nonsuch Lad

6/1(+14%)
(10) Nonsuch Lad 6/1, Bagged a couple of handicaps over this trip last season and arrives here on the back of creditable efforts at Sandown and Goodwood. Has his quirks but the ability is certainly there and he has to enter calculations.
Bit to find on course form but last two outings put him firmly in the picture.

4th (6) At Liberty (4.5/1 +18%)
At Liberty

4.5/1(+18%)
(6) At Liberty 4.5/1, Back-to-back winner of handicaps over this trip last term and, having shaped better than bare result on a couple of occasions during the spring, he got back on the scoresheet at Haydock (10.2f, good to firm) last time. 3 lb rise fair enough and no surprise if he's in the shake-up.
Two 1m2f wins last October and another when he led on the post at Haydock three weeks ago.
5th
5th (8) The Conqueror (12/1 +52%)
The Conqueror

12/1(+52%)
(8) The Conqueror 12/1, Yet to get his head in front on these shores and while he didn't shape badly on return/debut for new yard on the AW in April, his subsequent efforts have not been particularly encouraging. Yard also saddles Nonsuch Lad.
Ex-German winner; fourth British start; down the weights and needs a second look.
6th
6th (9) Dotties Star (14/1 -17%)
Dotties Star

14/1(-17%)
(9) Dotties Star 14/1, Fair form in a trio of bumpers and, though comfortably held in 3 starts in this sphere at up to 8.5f, improvement may well be forthcoming now that he moves up in trip for this handicap debut.
Ran in three bumpers and three 1m Flat races; handicap debut may see him in a better light.
7th
7th (4) Enough Already (6.5/1 +54%)
Enough Already

6.5/1(+54%)
(4) Enough Already 6.5/1, Returned to form when accounting for 6 rivals over a mile on the AW at Lingfield in May. Not disgraced back on turf at Brighton since and return to this trip may not be a bad thing, plus he has the assistance of William Buick, but others preferred all the same.
Last seen over this far (won once on Lingfield AW) in 2021 and the trip poses a question.
LTO Selection:

20:30 Epsom Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

AT LIBERTY gamely beat a useful yardstick in Arranmore at Haydock and although he hasn't got the most consistent profile, Michael Bell's gelding should remain competitive off a 3lb higher mark if arriving in the same mood. Similar comments apply to Eklil but, again, he comes here in winning form and appears to hold leading claims. Aidan Keeley will likely be taking his time on the keen-going Nonsuch Lad and that pairing could run into a place.

It could be worth chancing WANDERING ROCKS, who is now 8 lb lower compared to when beaten less than 3 lengths on his reappearance at Kempton and this drop back in trip looks a good move having struggled at the business end in 1½m handicaps since. Last-time-out winners Eklil and At Liberty are live dangers, while Nonsuch Lad is another to consider. Also worthy of mention is Dotties Star, who hasn't shown much in maiden/novice company but is likely to be seen in a better light now handicapping.

Top of the list is AT LIBERTY, who has run well in the big majority of his handicaps, followed by Wonder Starelzaam and Eklil.

(1) Gearing's Point 0.8/1, On a hat-trick after wins at Yarmouth and Leicester in recent weeks. A 5 lb penalty doesn't look enough to stop her.
Scored at Leicester on Thursday and is now 3-5 for new stable; commands respect.

Has looked out of sorts on all three appearances this year; revival needed.

May low-key seasonal debut but remains lightly raced; not ruled out.

(3) Ciao Adios 7/1, Sixth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (11.5f, good to firm, 12/1) 11 days ago. Looks competitive on form.
AW winner off 2lb higher in January but hasn't fired in recent runs; has a point to prove.

Ran well when second at Yarmouth last month but is 0-28 now; others appeal more.

(2) It's How We Roll 6/1, C&D winner. Back to winning ways in 15-runner classified event at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Should give another good account.
Came from a long way off the pace to win Windsor classified last month; this is tougher.
LTO Selection:

20:45 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

GEARING'S POINT has recorded a double recently and she is now asked to carry 5lb extra than the latest of those successes, which came at Leicester. The five-year-old can continue her fine form. It's How We Roll struck by a length and a half last time in a classified stakes event and could have a say back in handicap company, while Pledge Of Peace drops in trip and also commands attention.

Being a proven winner counts for plenty at this level so GEARING'S POINT is selected to make light of a 5 lb penalty for last week's Leicester success and complete a hat-trick. Fellow recent winner It's How We Roll is second choice ahead of Pledge of Peace.

This can go to GEARING'S POINT (nap), who has thrived for Sheena West this season and is now bidding to make it 4-6 for the stable.

Daphne May

3.5/1(+65%)
(1) Daphne May 3.5/1, Latest win at Bath in April. Failed to justify support when sixth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 23 days ago and seemed to find her stamina stretched on her only previous outing over a similar trip, so others preferred despite booking of Loughnane.
Wins over 1m (AW) and 1m2f (soft) this year but there's a stamina doubt over 1m4f.

(11) Iconic Mover 4.5/1, Runner-up on his last 2 outings, finishing clear of the remainder when ½-length second of 4 to Cloudy Rose in handicap at Brighton (11.9f, soft) 15 days ago. Better off at the weights this time and is expected to be bang there.
0-20; three 2nds and he made Cloudy Rose dig deep in a four-runner race at Brighton latest.

Lunar Shadow

4/1(+56%)
(3) Lunar Shadow 4/1, Won at Lingfield in March and has held form well in defeat since, posting another solid effort at that course when third of 9 in handicap there (12f, AW) 29 days ago. Record on turf is unconvincing but she arrives in good heart.
Turf record asks a question but she's been running well on AW.

20/1(-43%)
(7) Angels Roc 20/1, Won here and at Brighton last season but hasn't been able to show any sort of form this season, slow starts putting him on the back foot on both outings (also bled last time). Risky proposition at present.
1m2f win here (last August); 1m4f record is a concern; pulled up on latest start (bled).

Not much to show for his five outings; tenth of 17 when upped to 1m2f at Newbury latest.

(6) Ship To Shore 5.5/1, Took advantage of a gradually falling mark to finally shed his maiden tag in a 12-runner handicap at Southwell (14.1f) 22 days ago. Still very lightly raced on turf but he's a player dropping back in trip from only a 4 lb higher mark.
12th attempt when off the mark (1m6f, AW) latest; one piece of form from three turf runs.

Cloudy Rose

(8) Cloudy Rose 4.5/1, Arrives here seeking 4-timer after a pair of wins at Brighton split by another success at Beverley. Produced a career-best effort in completing the hat-trick last time and showed a good attitude in doing so, so should be in the mix from a 3 lb higher mark.
Off the mark at the 20th attempt and she's now won three in a row, all three at 1m4f.
8th
8th (4) Cedar Rapids (20/1 -100%)
Cedar Rapids

20/1(-100%)
(4) Cedar Rapids 20/1, Sole win came in Leopardstown claimer last summer. Doesn't arrive here in the best of form, beaten long before stamina came into play having a first try at this trip when sixth of 7 in handicap (25/1) at Thirsk (12f, soft) 15 days ago. Others preferred.
Not discredited on stable/seasonal debut but well beaten in his two starts since.

Three wins on Polytrack; turf form does not look good enough, admittedly in 2018 and 2019.
LTO Selection:

21:00 Epsom Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

CLOUDY ROSE will arrive brimming with confidence following three tenacious victories in a row and, despite a further 3lb rise, she looks the one to beat. John Berry's mare has yet to tackle Epsom but having a record of two from two around Brighton - another undulating track - is certainly encouraging. Lunar Shadow has every chance if she can translate her recent all-weather form to the turf, while Iconic Mover and Angels Roc are others to note.

ICONIC MOVER was beaten by the four-timer seeking Cloudy Rose at Brighton last time, but there was very little between the pair on that occasion and the small swing at the weights here may be enough for Pat Phelan's gelding to turn the tables. Ship To Shore finally got off the mark when scoring at Southwell last time and can complete the placings.

Having discovered the winning habit and shown a versatility regarding the ground, CLOUDY ROSE has a fair chance to win again.

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.
