7th
7th (1) Kuwait City (2.75/1 +54%)
Kuwait City

2.75/1(+54%)
(1) Kuwait City 2.75/1, Landed 5f York handicap in May before posting a good third of 8 at Ayr (5f, firm) 14 days ago when left with too much to do. Needs considering off the same mark.
8th
8th (9) Sugar Hill Babe (40/1 -100%)
Sugar Hill Babe

(9) Sugar Hill Babe 40/1, Reliable maiden who turned in a rare below-par effort when fourth of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 12 days ago, running wide. Rare turf effort but sort to bounce back.
9th

King's Crown

(6) King's Crown 16/1, Comes here below par, fifteenth of 21 in handicap at York (6f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Cheekpieces go back on with more needed.
LTO Selection:

13:30 Haydock Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

JM JUNGLE's latest outing to fill the runner-up spot looked to be a step in the right direction and John Quinn's three-year-old is taken to progress further off the same mark here. The gelded son of Bungle Inthejungle drops in class for this run and rates the one to beat. Kuwait City is feared most, despite the burden of top-weight, following a pleasing third at Ayr most recently. Spirit Of Applause is another who has been eased in class from his latest run and completes the shortlist.

Lots with chances but SQUEALER has dropped to a very handy mark so is fancied to gain a first win of 2023 at the chief expense of Talha, who opened his account in good style at Redcar last time out. Kuwait City wasn't seen to best effect when third at Ayr and can have a say too in a competitive sprint.

Desperate Hero still has potential in cheekpieces but KUWAIT CITY has looked an improved model this year and gets the nod.

Equality

7/1(-8%)
(4) Equality 7/1, Excuses in Group company first 2 starts this season and back on calmer waters, he blew 6 rivals away in a Windsor handicap a month ago. Clearly in top form.
Readily defied top weight in Windsor handicap last month, producing a smart RPR.

Makarova

10/1(+29%)
(10) Makarova 10/1, Strong at the finish when gaining her listed breakthrough at Ayr a fortnight ago, suited by how the race developed. Away from her own sex here and needs to improve again.
Broke her Listed duck at Ayr two weeks ago; faces tougher task upped in grade.

3rd (1) Tiber Flow (6/1 +8%)
Tiber Flow

6/1(+8%)
(1) Tiber Flow 6/1, Smart sort who was just about better than ever when gaining her breakthrough at Group level back on the AW at Newcastle a week ago. Penalty to cover back at 5f and cheekpieces go back on but he's a big player.
Incurs 3lb penalty for 6f AW win and has a question mark over this drop in trip.
4
4th (2) Annaf (6.5/1 -30%)
Annaf

6.5/1(-30%)
(2) Annaf 6.5/1, Smart performer on the AW, completing hat-trick in listed company at Lingfield in February. Ran his best race on turf when third in the King's Stand and that puts him right there. Stall 11 may not be ideal, though.
0-8 on turf but has some very encouraging form, most recently third in the King's Stand.
5th
5th (7) Raasel (11/1 -10%)
Raasel

11/1(-10%)
(7) Raasel 11/1, Another big success story for these connections, winning over 5f at listed level and this Group 3 race last year. Yet to hit the same heights this time round (although has had excuses a couple of times) and this is an ease in class in his repeat bid.
Won this race last year; 0-10 since but interesting back in this scenario; 1-1 at Sandown.
6th
6th (9) Get Ahead (6.5/1 -30%)
Get Ahead

(9) Get Ahead 6.5/1, Useful filly who ran out a comfortable winner in listed company at Haydock in May and confirmed she's better than ever when second in Group 2 company at Chantilly a month ago. Slightly more needed on the figures but she's thriving.
Went close in Group 2 at Chantilly last time; better than ever and has to be feared.
7th
7th (3) Diligent Harry (16/1 -45%)
Diligent Harry

16/1(-45%)
(3) Diligent Harry 16/1, Smart sort on his day and, while he didn't fire in the Duke of York Stakes, he was back on his game when fourth in listed company at Salisbury (6f), going with plenty of enthusiasm. Well worth another go at 5f on that evidence.
0-8 on grass and ran poorly when last seen at 5f; others preferred.
8th
8th (8) Marshman (3/1 +40%)
Marshman

3/1(+40%)
(8) Marshman 3/1, Made a winning reappearance in a 5.5f Chantilly Group 3 in April but seemed to have his limitations exposed in Group 1/Group 2 company since, never really looking like justifying support in the King's Stand last time. Eases in class.
Still fairly unexposed over a bare 5f; this 3yo may rate higher still; respected.
9th
9th (6) Existent (25/1 +0%)
Existent

25/1(+0%)
(6) Existent 25/1, Went close in last year's Palace House at Newmarket and made the most of a good stall when fourth in the Temple Stakes at Haydock in May. Never really a factor in the King's Stand, though.
Only 1-18 on turf; behind some of these rivals in the King's Stand.
10th
10th (11) Lady Hamana (9/1 +36%)
Lady Hamana

9/1(+36%)
(11) Lady Hamana 9/1, Reacted really well to cheekpieces when doubling career tally over C&D 3 weeks ago, producing a big career-best in the process. This a different assignment but she could be dangerous from the inside stall.
Took well to first-time cheekpieces in the Scurry Stakes over C&D; this is harder.
LTO Selection:

13:50 Sandown Group 3 (Class 1) 5f Race Class Flow

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

This represents a drop in grade for ANNAF, who was able to outrun big odds when an excellent third behind Bradsell in the King's Stand at Royal Ascot last month. He beat Marshman (seventh) on that occasion, as well as Existent and Raasel, and the son of Muhaarar is the one to beat on the back of that performance. Tiber Flow was a game winner of the Chipchase at Newcastle last week and looks the selection's most serious danger.

Lots of collateral form to assess and this looks very open, but ANNAF confirmed that he's as effective on turf as the AW when an excellent third in the King's Stand at Ascot last time. Stall 11 could have been better but he's still just about the most persuasive option. Raasel won this race last year and he's a threat eased in class, with Tiber Flow likely to be keeping on back in trip.

This looks an open Coral Charge with nothing standing out. The tentative suggestion is EQUALITY, with Annaf second choice.

Lordship

3.33/1(+5%)
(6) Lordship 3.33/1, Landed the odds without too much fuss in 5-runner novice event at Chepstow (1½m, good to firm) last month and followed up in a handicap over this trip at Yarmouth since. Should continue to go the right way for a leading stable seeking a third win in this race in the last 4 years.
Barely off the bridle to win a five-runner 1m6f handicap at Yarmouth (1m6f) eight days ago.

2nd (11) Flower Of Dubai (25/1 -14%)
Flower Of Dubai

25/1(-14%)
(11) Flower Of Dubai 25/1, Winner of 11f Kempton maiden on debut and added to her tally in 1½m Wolverhampton handicap 19 days ago. Likely to stay 1¾m and has the potential for better again after only 4 career starts.
Has been coming from off the pace, in the nick of time over 1m4f (AW) on latest start.
3
3rd (1) Struth (7/1 +36%)
Struth

7/1(+36%)
(1) Struth 7/1, Posted a career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Chester (1½m, heavy, 7/1) in May. Improved again when stepped up to 14.5f at Doncaster next time and did too much too soon up with the early pace when well held in King George handicap at Royal Ascot since. Treated as if still in form.
Should go well granted a more measured performance than at Royal Ascot.
4
4th (13) Bulldog Spirit (33/1 -50%)
Bulldog Spirit

33/1(-50%)
(13) Bulldog Spirit 33/1, Showed a good attitude when resuming winning ways at Doncaster (1½m) last month. Another creditable effort when second of 3 at Goodwood (1½m again) since. Tackles 1¾m for the first time here.
Better at 1m4f than shorter; suspicion is that others in this field are more promising.
5th
5th (4) Chillhi (10/1 +9%)
Chillhi

10/1(+9%)
(4) Chillhi 10/1, Successful twice on AW at 2 but he's equally as effective on turf, shaping well stepped up to 1½m for the first time when third of 10 at Chester (good) 6 weeks ago. Yard knows what it takes to win this.
Ran on well into third of ten at Chester (upped to 1m4f, good) after trouble in running.
6th
6th (7) Imaginary World (20/1 +9%)
Imaginary World

20/1(+9%)
(7) Imaginary World 20/1, Improved a chunk when making a winning return/handicap debut at Chelmsford (1¼m) in March. Made a good return to turf when narrowly denied over 1½m at Beverley last time. Could have more to offer now stepping up in trip again.
Renewed latest effort as if this longer trip would suit him well; this race is much hotter.
7th
7th (3) Rogue Sea (4/1 +20%)
Rogue Sea

4/1(+20%)
(3) Rogue Sea 4/1, Has looked quite useful when winning 2 novices over 1¼m. Significantly longer trip asks a different question on handicap debut but it's likely he has more to offer.
Promising with two wins from three novices; more to do in this hot race for handicap debut.
8th
8th (10) Midnight Lion (10/1 +17%)
Midnight Lion

10/1(+17%)
(10) Midnight Lion 10/1, Surpassed his juvenile form when very good fourth of 8 in handicap at Doncaster (14.5f) on reappearance and made no mistake in maiden company at Goodwood next time. Very much the type to keep on improving as his stamina is drawn out.
1m6f Goodwood maiden win was further improvement and no doubt about strength in stamina.
9th
9th (8) Rathgar (20/1 +0%)
Rathgar

20/1(+0%)
(8) Rathgar 20/1, Good placed efforts in handicaps at Newmarket and York on first 2 outings this year. Disappointing when last of 8 over 14.5f at Doncaster last time but it's possible he found a third outing in quick succession too much. Capable of bouncing back after 5 weeks off.
A surprise when he came last of eight at Doncaster when upped to 1m6f (Struth second).
10th
10th (9) Pledgeofallegiance (4/1 +11%)
Pledgeofallegiance

4/1(+11%)
(9) Pledgeofallegiance 4/1, Different proposition since stepped up to 1¾m and fitted with cheekpieces, winning handicaps at Redcar and Doncaster in recent months. Should be more to come and he looks a leading player in this.
Made all and galloped on very stoutly when winning his two handicaps at about 1m6f.
11th
11th (2) Galactic Jack (14/1 +13%)
Galactic Jack

14/1(+13%)
(2) Galactic Jack 14/1, Goodwood maiden winner last autumn. Not up to Group 3/listed company on his next 4 starts but got his career firmly back on track with a 1½m Salisbury handicap win from the front in first-time cheekpieces (retained) 10 days ago, despite hanging left. 7 lb higher in a much tougher race now.
Down from Group 3 and Listed races when making all in 1m4f Salisbury handicap ten days ago.
LTO Selection:

14:05 Haydock Handicap (Class 2) 14f Race Class Flow

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

A case can be made for several of these, but ROGUE SEA firmly deserves his spot at the top of the market following an eye-catching success in novice company at Ripon over 1m3f last month. Tom Clover's inmate boasts an appealing pedigree and, given his dam was a Group 2 winner, it's unlikely he has yet to find his ceiling as he makes his handicap debut. Pledgeofallegiance can give him plenty to think about following a comfortable victory off a 7lb lower mark over an extended 1m6f at Doncaster most recently, while Lordship is another with claims.

This is undoubtedly tougher than the handicaps PLEDGEOFALLEGIANCE has been winning but he didn't need to be subjected to strong pressure at Doncaster last week and can complete the hat-trick. Lordship, whose trainer has a good recent record in this race, heads the many dangers along with Midnight Lion and Rogue Sea.

Seriously progressive and with no doubt about his stamina, PLEDGEOFALLEGIANCE can pull out more again to complete the hat-trick.

LTO Selection:

14:10 Naas Maiden 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Gavin Cromwell had three juveniles who were first home in barrier trials at this venue in late May and two of them, including subsequent Chesham Stakes winner Snellen, were successful on their debuts. The odd one out was CLARITA but she did little wrong when runner-up at Cork and can now go one better over this furlong shorter trip. Back Down Under ran creditably behind recent Group 2 winner Matrika at the Curragh and had Asean a place behind when runner-up over C&D last month. Newcomers to note are Heavenly Being, an expensive yearling who is a half-sister to her trainer's Matron Stakes winner No Speak Alexander, and Ger Lyons' Storm Miami, who is Colin Keane's first ride back after a seven-day suspension.

CLARITA made an encouraging start when runner-up at Cork 3 weeks ago and she can put that experience to good use up against likely-looking newcomers Heavenly Being and Storm Miami.

CLARITA represents a yard that has a good line to smart two-year-old fillies. She likes Naas and her Cork run renders her the form pick

LTO Selection:

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

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

Expert Choice is likely to prove popular amongst punters having kept on well to finish second on his racecourse debut at Pontefract, while Belle Storm is related to a few winners and she looks capable of building on her recent Wolverhampton effort. A chance, however, is taken on LIKLEMAN. Mark Johnston won this race in 2018 and 2019 before relinquishing his licence to son Charlie, and the Footstepsinthesand colt, who disappointed having been well supported on his debut 25 days ago, can take a step forward with that experience under his belt.

Only a handful of these make any serious appeal, with VICE CAPTAIN selected to go one better than at Nottingham 9 days ago with this step up in trip holding no fears. Expert Choice offered plenty to work on first time up when runner-up at Pontefract just over 6 weeks ago, so he may well emerge as the main danger, ahead of Eminny and Belle Storm.

The vote goes to the most experienced runner, VICE CAPTAIN, whose trainer took this with a similar type 12 months ago.

(4) Intellogent 16/1, Failed to build on previous promise when twenty fifth of 30 in Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot (8f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Weighted to go well if back on song.
Ran poorly in the Royal Hunt Cup last month; now 0-10 for current stable.
LTO Selection:

14:25 Sandown Handicap (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow

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

This could go the way of the consistent DUTCH DECOY, who lost little in defeat when filling the runner-up spot behind Maysong over C&D on his most recent outing. He has gone up 2lb for that run, which may not be enough to hold him back, especially given he is now 2lb better off with that rival. The six-year-old is fancied to get the better of Perotto, who may bounce back. Spirit Catcher has been knocking on the door of late and adds further spice to the race, along with Major Partnership.

Roger Varian's new recruit PEROTTO wasn't seen to best effect in Ascot's Hunt Cup last time and is well worth another chance to confirm his promising Victoria Cup seventh off a 3 lb lower mark here. Intellogent is another who is weighted to have a say if back to his best while the improving Sceptic and reliable Spirit Catcher must also enter calculations in a very competitive handicap.

This looks the perfect next step for INDEMNIFY (nap), who won the Whitsun Cup over C&D on his seasonal debut. Ouzo is second choice.

Strong form in 1m2f Group 1s last season; could be a major player if seeing out the trip.
LTO Selection:

14:40 Haydock Group 2 (Class 1) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Only narrowly denied over 1m6f in a Group 3 in May, Mimikyu is expected to be thereabouts if anywhere near that form, despite a step up in grade. However, it may pay to take a chance on TIME LOCK, who disappointed when finishing in fourth behind Sea Silk Road over C&D on her most recent run. She has proven to be capable of more than that, as evidenced by a pair of runner-up runs in Listed company last season, and she is fancied to bounce back. William Haggas' reopposing inmate can give her plenty to think about, while Luisa Casati is another to bear in mind.

MIMIKYU is classy on her day and might not have reached her limit yet, so she's fancied to get the better of Time Lock, who also remains with potential. Aristia is a big player on form but needs to shrug off a tame reappearance.

The best form belongs to ARISTIA based on last season's Group 1 exploits. C&D Group 3 winner Sea Silk Road is feared most.

LTO Selection:

14:45 Naas Stakes 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

BUYIN BUYIN changed ownership after winning on debut at Dundalk and showed that the money was not misplaced with a fine fourth in the Marble Hill Stakes at the Curragh. Plenty of the runners in that race performed well at Royal Ascot and the selection finished a place in front of shock Norfolk Stakes winner Valiant Force. He can capitalise on this drop in class. Rush Queen was fortunate to beat the wandering Ashwiyaa at Listowel but the latter was third in a Group 2 next time and Ado McGuinness' filly is a promising type in her own right. More Profit was second home in a barrier trial here and other newcomers to note are Emerald Banner, a sister to her trainer's Cheveley Park Stakes winner Millisle, and the Dandy Man colt Cool Dan whose dam was a four-time winner over 5f.

The clear pick is BUYIN BUYIN, who built on his Dundalk debut success when fourth in the Marble Hill at the Curragh, form which was boosted when the winner went on to finish a good fourth in the Coventry at Royal Ascot. Newcomers Cool Dan and Emerald Banner are taken to fill the places, with Listowel maiden winner Rush Queen best of the rest.

With no penalty, this should be relatively straightforward on paper for BUYIN BUYIN, Rush Queen promising but having plenty to find

LTO Selection:

14:50 Beverley Maiden (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Second on her debut at Catterick before going on to finish a creditable seventh in the Queen Mary, this looks a good opportunity for the Karl Burke-trained LADY PINK ROSE to open her account now eased significantly in class. Alfa Whiteburd failed to make an impact in the Coventry last time but must enter calculations today, while Red Zone Hero, who would have arguably finished closer to the principals with a clear run at Windsor 12 days ago, is another to be interested in.

LADY PINK ROSE has shown a level of form above that of her oppositon and is very to difficult to oppose, second home in her group at Royal Ascot last time and likely to improve even further. Whogoesthere and Red Zone Hero produced promising debut efforts, with the former preferred of that duo on account of his better draw, with the experienced Alfa Whiteburd also holding solid place claims.

Second in the unfavoured far-side group in the Queen Mary, LADY PINK ROSE takes a steep drop back in class and can get off the mark.

(1) Chris's Mate 25/1, Showed a tad more than on debut when ninth of 14 in maiden at Nottingham (6.1f, good) 9 days ago. Visored for first time down in class.
Has shown little in two maidens (7f/6f) and trainer soon turns to headgear.

Early days and could have some improvement lurking with a hood now fitted.
LTO Selection:

14:55 Leicester Seller (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow

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

MAKING DREAMS kept on well to finish second over seven furlongs in a similar contest at Chester eight days ago and, with the stiff finish here likely to be in her favour, Karl Burke's filly can strike at the fourth time of asking. David Evans sent out the one-two in this last year, so Surface To Air, who is fitted with a tongue-tie and blinkers for the first time, must enter calculations. Market support would have to make Us Navy Jack of interest ahead of his racecourse bow.

THE GOOD BISCUIT has caught the eye both starts so far and eased in class against largely limited opposition, he makes lots of appeal. The return to 6f isn't certain to help Making Dreams but she should still make her presence felt, with Us Navy Jack a newcomer starting out in a winnable race.

All things considered, Jack Channon's THE GOOD BISCUIT ran well in a Nottingham maiden and he edges preference.

LTO Selection:

15:00 Sandown Listed (Class 1) 8f Race Class Flow

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

It is hard to look past the unexposed STENTON GLIDER, who finished a decent second in the German 1000 Guineas last month. She drops considerably in grade for this outing and Hugo Palmer's inmate would be foolish to underestimate with that in mind. Another to consider is the recent novice winner Back See Daa, who caught the eye when seeing off her opposition over this distance at Newbury most recently, while Magical Sunset (eighth) and Bridestones (12th) performed with credit in the Sandringham at Royal Ascot and they could also have a big say.

MAGICAL SUNSET shaped significantly better than the bare result in the Sandringham and looks set for a big run. Stenton Glider, runner-up in the German 1000 Guineas last time, is a big player, while Back See Daa could improve again to take a hand up in grade.

Magical Sunset may prove best of the Sandringham runners but Fred Darling and German Guineas runner-up STENTON GLIDER gets the vote.

Unplaced on both starts this season but remains lightly raced and is not written off.
LTO Selection:

15:15 Haydock Handicap (Class 2) 12f Race Class Flow

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

In a wide-open event the marginal preference is for the unexposed LA YAKEL, who makes his belated seasonal return having been progressive as a three-year-old. The son of Time Test was last seen filling fourth place in the Old Rowley Cup at Newmarket in October and a reproduction of that level of form would give him a big chance here. Cumulonimbus is going in the right direction and has to be respected following his C&D win last month. Toshizou should not be underestimated now up in trip, while, in contrast, Sir Rumi should appreciate dropping back in distance. Others to note are Sheer Rocks, Maksud and Teumessias Fox.

LA YAKEL hasn't been seen for 9 months but he appeals strongly as one who can go on to better things this year and can make light of his absence. Maksud shaped a lot better than the result in the Duke of Edinburgh at Royal Ascot and is second choice. Teumessias Fox disappointed in that same Ascot handicap but his Newmarket form prior to that looks strong and he can bounce back and also play a prominent role.

Having been a fast-finishing fourth in a slowly run race over C&D last time, ONESMOOTHOPERATOR (nap) is taken to come out on top.

LTO Selection:

15:20 Naas Handicap 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

AMANIRENAS looks the safest option in this low grade 24-runner sprint. She was a good winner on her penultimate start at Leopardstown and didn't get the run of the race when attempting to follow up. She still managed to finish third though, just over a length and a quarter behind Chestnutter, who since gave the form a boost by winning again at Tipperary on Wednesday. Hot Whispers gets second preference with Cillian McConnell claiming a valuable 7lb. He ran a fine race to finish fifth on debut for Denis Hogan in a similar contest over the course and distance last month, and he might be able to go a few places better now. Johnny Levins has won this race twice in the last three years and he is represented by Carlton Banks and Stickyourneckout, who both look to have solid claims. A dual winner last season, Cailin Cliste has since dropped 10lb and it'll be interesting to see how she fares, while others to consider are Stanhope, Pretty Boy Floyd and handicap debutants At Long Last and Elda.

A big-field event with CATHERINE CHROI receiving the tentative vote having caught the eye running on late over the minimum trip here on her most recent outing. Improving has fallen a long way in the weights and can't be ignored, while Elda is entitled to hold more chance now handicapping.

Wide open but there could be a bit of value to be had in THERIVERRUNSDEEP off a nice turf mark and from a likely favourable draw

(11) Senate Queen 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 13 in handicap (9/1) at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Up against it from poor draw.
Has gone the wrong way in four runs and others appeal more.
LTO Selection:

15:25 Beverley Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Rwenearlytheredad recorded two victories in the space of four days last month, with the latest of those coming at Doncaster, and he merits the utmost respect from a 6lb higher mark. Let's Go Hugo has yet to add to his maiden success, but the drop into a class 6 contest, along with the addition of first-time cheekpieces, could spark an improved showing. However, GRANDAD BOB showed the benefit of recent wind surgery when finishing a good second at Catterick in April and he's fancied to go one better with further improvement on the cards.

RWENEARLYTHEREDAD is a thriving young sprinter who is likely to be well positioned from stall 3, so he gets the nod ahead of Bella Kopella, who was third to the selection here 11 days ago and is on much better terms now. Grandad Bob is another one to consider.

Rwenearlytheredad and BELLA KOPELLA, first and third over C&D in June, stand out on recent evidence, the latter narrowly preferred.

LTO Selection:

15:30 Leicester Maiden (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Ribble Rouser (third) had the benefit of previous experience when finishing four-and-a-quarter lengths ahead of UNEQUAL LOVE (fourth) at Thirsk last month. That said, the daughter of Dutch Art can reverse that form en route to a maiden victory with improvement likely. Bishop's Crown is entitled to be thereabouts once again, though the fact he was turned over at prohibitive odds two starts ago would be a cause for concern.

BISHOP'S CROWN took a step forward when third on his handicap bow at Newmarket 2 weeks ago and he's well worth a go at this trip given how he shaped. The progressive Ribble Rouser went close at Thirsk and is the obvious threat ahead of Unequal Love, who showed plenty to work on when fourth in the same race on debut.

This is his first run over 6f but BISHOP'S CROWN has the most compelling form credentials

Failed to reach those levels last term but firmly back on track this season, winning a couple of Group 1s in Australia in the spring. Creditable third in Group 1 at Sha Tin since. Respected.
Better than ever in international Group 1 races this year; 0-5 at Group level on home soil.
LTO Selection:

15:40 Sandown Group 1 (Class 1) 10f Race Class Flow

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

PADDINGTON's rise from being a handicap winner to glory in the Irish 2,000 Guineas and St James's Palace Stakes puts him among the elite of the current Classic generation. Obviously, this is the first time the son of Siyouni takes on older horses and Emily Upjohn, who is fresher than the selection having been rested since landing the Coronation Cup at Epsom, has to be feared with William Buick deputising for the suspended Frankie Dettori. Dubai Honour is no back number considering he is already a dual Group 1 winner, while West Wind Blows, a two-time Group 3 winner in France, also commands respect as he bids for a first success at this level.

Only four runners but still a fascinating Eclipse with a clash of the generations. EMILY UPJOHN proved herself to be a high-class filly when settling the Coronation Cup in a matter of strides on her return at Epsom 5 weeks ago and she can end the winning run of highly progressive 3-y-o Paddington, who's running in his third Group 1 in the space of 6 weeks.

Talented 4yo filly EMILY UPJOHN gets the narrow vote over admirable 3yo colt Paddington in a gripping clash.

Might not be far away but 0-4 and others may have greater potential.
LTO Selection:

15:50 Haydock Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

NOTTA NOTHER has improved with every start to date and got off the mark over 5f at Goodwood last month. The way the son of Havana Grey finished that day suggests that he can improve for the extra furlong here and an opening mark of 80 may underestimate him. Mayo Neighs was not disgraced in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot last time and could prove to be the main threat. Flaccianello edges out Politico to be best of the rest.

MAYO NEIGHS emerged with a lot of credit pitched into the Windsor Castle, finishing second in his unfavoured side (ninth overall), and from a very fair opening mark, he may outclass these. 6f may bring about more from Notta Nother and he's feared most, though Je Ne Sais Quoi is likely to get back on track.

Drop to 6f shouldn't be an issue given the way she travelled that day, so remains of interest despite a 12 lb hike in the weights.

Hardy filly did not deserve to be 16s back in trip over C&D latest and back to form then.
LTO Selection:

15:55 Naas Handicap 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Coumshingaun is sure to be a popular choice after obliging at the Curragh last weekend, while recent course and distance winner Sioux Spirit is another likely to feature prominently in the betting. It'll come as little surprise if either manage to follow up, but for a selection it might be worth siding with bottom-weight TALIA. She too is bidding for a follow-up success, after coming home three lengths to the good on her handicap debut at Cork last month. Bought for 60,000 euros as a yearling, the Zoustar bay was making her debut for Natalia Lupini at Cork and she is open to further improvement. With Robert Whearty claiming a valuable 7lb, Little Queenie is given second preference. She finished behind Coumshingaun when they clashed at Gowran last month but there is a significant swing in the weights now. A case can also be made for the other four runners in the line-up, with dual winner Wave Machine bidding to get his career back on track after disappointing on his last three starts.

LITTLE QUEENIE has fallen to an attractive mark on the pick of her form and a return to 6f could just be the answer having again found the trip too far at Limerick (6.7f) 15 days ago. Talia impressed with the way she went through the race at Cork so shouldn't be inconvenienced by this drop in trip either, with recent C&D winner Sioux Spirit also feared.

Sioux Spirit was much more at home back at this distance on latest. However, she may be vulnerable to the blank canvass of TALIA

Made positive start for this yard with a never-nearer third at Haydock; shortlisted.
LTO Selection:

16:02 Beverley Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

There has been no stopping the hat-trick seeking Dungar Glory of late and she can get involved off a 2lb raised mark for her most recent success. Zak Wheatley knocks 5lb off her back with his claim, but the progressive STRANGERONTHESHORE is fancied to get the better of her. Only narrowly denied over a mile at Doncaster last month, Nigel Tinkler's five-year-old rates the one to beat now only 1lb above that mark. Last-time-out winner Powdering is another to note off 2lb higher.

The vote goes to BINT AL DAAR, who shaped well on debut for this yard back from a 3-month break at Haydock where she put in good late work from a compromising position. Stablemate Senesi didn't lose much caste in defeat at Sandown last time and she looks set for another leading role, while the Roger Varian-trained Young And Fun is also likely to play a part in the finish.

Top of the list is SENESI who ran a cracker at Sandown considering the drop in distance seemed not to play to her strengths.

Perhaps failed to handle Ripon last time but she's not looking progressive.
LTO Selection:

16:07 Leicester Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

OVERACTIVE posted a decent fourth in a warm 0-90 at Sandown three weeks ago and the unexposed son of Awtaad is taken to build on that down in class, with a subsequent 2lb ease in the ratings an added positive. Golden Maverick appeared to relish from a step up in trip when filling the runner-up spot at Newmarket last month and he should be on the premises from just 1lb higher. Measured Moments has been in good form on the all-weather this year and she would make obvious appeal if able to transfer that onto the grass.

This can go to GOLDEN MAVERICK, who bounced back to his best on his first try at this trip when finishing runner-up at Newmarket just over 2 weeks ago. Ian Williams' 3-y-o can notch a third victory of the campaign at the expense of Measured Moments, who went close after 5 months off at Chelmsford last time and may have to settle for a third runner-up placing in a row. Emily's Eclipse and Overactive can fight out third spot.

The 3yo GOLDEN MAVERICK (nap) has had a good season already and he might not be done yet after his recent second in a higher grade.

(9) Aramaic 7/1, Firmly on the up in 2021 and, having missed the whole of last season, he proved that his ability remains intact when sixth of 13 in handicap at York (10.2f, good to firm) in May. Around 6 lengths adrift of Paradias and Lord Protector over C&D since but now 2 lb lower and he's not discounted.
Lightly raced; absent 608 days before two respectable runs this season; now tongue tied.
4
4th (6) Majestic (4/1 -14%)
Majestic

4/1(-14%)
(6) Majestic 4/1, Won the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket on final 4-y-o start and has made a solid start to the new campaign, on his latest start finishing second of 11 over 1¼m at the Epsom Derby meeting. Key player off the same mark here with Ryan Moore aboard.
Ran creditably in three of his four starts this season, including twice at 1m2f.
5th
5th (4) Paradias (5/1 +23%)
Paradias

5/1(+23%)
(4) Paradias 5/1, Good second to a progressive one from the Gosden yard on return at Windsor and went one better in gritty fashion when seeing off Lord Protector over this C&D, with Aramaic (fourth) and Spirit of The Bay (seventh) also adrift. 5 lb rise tolerable and he has to enter calculations.
Came from off the pace to win by a neck from Lord Protector over C&D latest; up 5lb.
6th
6th (11) Postmark (66/1 -32%)
Postmark

66/1(-32%)
(11) Postmark 66/1, Dual Flat winner last summer and opened account over hurdles at Newbury (16.3f) in February. Not improved on that subsequently in that sphere, though, and safely held back on the Flat at York 3 weeks ago.
Return to 1m2f may help; probably needs career-best Flat form; bit better last year on AW.
7th
7th (10) Mustazeed (7/1 -56%)
Mustazeed

7/1(-56%)
(10) Mustazeed 7/1, Improved when making a winning start for this yard on return at Newbury (1¼m, heavy) in April. Further progress when following up over the same C&D (good to firm) the following month and this 5 lb higher mark may well be within his reach.
Won from off the pace in two large-field 1m2f handicaps at Newbury this spring; respected.
8th
8th (8) Tregony (16/1 +0%)
Tregony

16/1(+0%)
(8) Tregony 16/1, Superb strike rate, completing a 4-timer in 2021 and signed off 2022 with a hat-trick of big-field handicap victories on the AW. Didn't do much wrong when fourth off 11 on her reappearance at Beverley (1¼m, good to firm) but this demands a clear career-best.
Progressive on AW last term to win three in a row; repeated that form on reappearance 4th.
9th
9th (2) Honiton (8.5/1 +6%)
Honiton

8.5/1(+6%)
(2) Honiton 8.5/1, Wide-margin C&D winner last season and stepped up on his reappearance effort back on better ground when landing a Newmarket handicap in May. However, latest effort at Epsom was underwhelming and he's opposable on the back of that.
A possible front-runner in this field; his record is beginning to look pretty mixed.
10th
10th (12) Spirit Of The Bay (40/1 -21%)
Spirit Of The Bay

(12) Spirit Of The Bay 40/1, Better than ever when landing a 7-runner handicap at Haydock (10.2f, good to firm) on penultimate start but she was behind a few of these over C&D last time. Others preferred.
Below form behind some of these here last time, denting what had been a good course record.
11th
11th (7) Moktasaab (10/1 +29%)
Moktasaab

10/1(+29%)
(7) Moktasaab 10/1, Improved when winning handicaps on first 2 starts for this yard last spring and performed to a similar level when fifth of 13 in a typically competitive York contest in May. However, he was pretty disappointing in a first-time visor (retained) on the AW last time.
Below form when tried in a visor (retained today) on AW one month ago, denting his appeal.
12th
12th (13) Yantarni (18/1 +28%)
Yantarni

18/1(+28%)
(13) Yantarni 18/1, Off the mark for Charlie Appleby in 1m Newmarket handicap last summer but he has come up short both starts for new connections. Doesn't appear to be crying out for this step up in trip and, all things considered, it's probably best to look elsewhere.
Third run for new yard; probably needs a career best but the new trip is interesting.
13th
13th (1) Aikhal (40/1 -14%)
Aikhal

40/1(-14%)
(1) Aikhal 40/1, Smart at his best for Aidan O'Brien but he was out with the washing starting out for new connections on return in the Duke of Edinburgh at Royal Ascot. The first-time tongue strap he sported that day is retained and blinkers are also added.
1m2f Group 3 win the clear pick of his Irish races; no show at Royal Ascot for new yard.
LTO Selection:

16:15 Sandown Handicap (Class 2) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Few would begrudge Majestic if he were to emerge victorious after some solid efforts in defeat in big handicaps this season. Indeed, the five-year-old was a well-backed favourite when second at Epsom last month and he must have a live chance off the same mark. However, earlier York form suggests MOKTASAAB could go well on these terms and William Knight's gelding edges the vote with a visor utilised for only the second time. Paradias, Honiton and Lord Protector are others with live chances.

There could be more to come from MUSTAZEED, who has landed back-to-back Newbury handicaps for his new yard this season and a 5 lb rise for his latest success doesn't look at all prohibitive. Lord Protector returned to form from out of the blue when touched off by Paradias over C&D and it would be no surprise were he to reverse the placings with that rival and emerge as the main danger. The booking of Ryan Moore is an obvious plus where Majestic is concerned and he is also accorded respect.

Moving up to 1m2f could unleash an improved display from YANTARNI. Second and third on the list are Paradias and Haunted Dream.

Ramazan

2.75/1(+8%)
(8) Ramazan 2.75/1, Scored twice during a productive 2-y-o campaign, including a 6f nursery here, and positive start to this season when third in 7f York handicap. Third best of the 15 that raced on the near side in the 29-runner Britannia at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) since and this drop back in trip will help.
Prominent for a long way over 1m at Royal Ascot and could benefit from this return to 7f.

Made all by 4l over C&D last time; tougher assignment here but this 3yo is not ruled out.

Kingdom Come

Good fourth despite possibly finding 1m too stiff a test back on turf at Newbury next time but subsequently well held at Royal Ascot and he needs to get back on track.

Hasn't done much wrong in defeat since but his mark has crept up to a career-high point as a consequence, and he may prove vulnerable for win purposes.
Has a good record here and went close in the Carlisle Bell recently; solid contender.
5th

This race should be run at a strong pace, which will be right up his street.
6th
6th (5) Gweedore (9/1 -29%)
Gweedore

9/1(-29%)
(5) Gweedore 9/1, Won 3 times in 2022 and bright start to this season, scoring at Musselburgh in April prior to hitting the crossbar over this C&D. Duly bounced back following a couple of low-key efforts when narrowly outpointed at York (7f, good to firm) last time and likely to give another good account.
Back to form when going close at York three weeks ago and can produce another bold show.
7th
7th (1) Boardman (8.5/1 +23%)
Boardman

8.5/1(+23%)
(1) Boardman 8.5/1, Successful 3 times last season, including over this C&D, and right back to his best when landing a Chester handicap in decisive fashion on penultimate start. Found out in Group 3 company here since and while this is a more palatable assignment, he's yet to win off a mark this high.
Looked better than ever at Chester two starts ago; could go well now back in a handicap.
LTO Selection:

16:25 Haydock Handicap (Class 2) 7f Race Class Flow

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

MOUNT ATHOS may have found the drop to 6f against him when finishing fifth in a Group 3 at Newcastle last Saturday and James Tate's colt could resume his progress now returned to handicap company. Chartwell House dominated his rivals when making all in a class 4 contest at Haydock last month, but a 9lb rise in the ratings will make life tougher for the three-year-old and a bigger threat may emerge from Safe Voyage, who was far from disgraced when coming home in fifth at Ascot in May.

It was hard not to be taken with CHARTWELL HOUSE's strong front-running performance over this C&D last month and a 9 lb rise may not be enough to prevent him from repeating the dose, even in this higher grade. Fellow 3-y-o Ramazan put in a good shift in the ultra-competitive Britannia at Royal Ascot and, with this drop back to 7f a plus, he is feared most. The veteran Safe Voyage clearly retains plenty of ability and is likely to be in the mix, along with Gweedore.

Ramazan is a very tempting option but this should be run at a fast pace and that will play to the strengths of ABDUCTION.

LTO Selection:

16:30 Naas Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MARINER might be able to put his experience to good use. From the family of 2011 Epsom Derby hero Pour Moi and out of Listed winner Kissed, he came in for strong market support on his most recent start at Gowran. He could only manage a disappointing fifth there but should be capable of better. Aidan O'Brien saddled subsequent dual Derby hero Auguste Rodin to win this race 12 months ago. The master of Ballydoyle now introduces Henry Adams, who won't have to be anything near the calibre of his illustrious stable companion to win this on debut. Versatile holds a National Stakes entry and was bought for 235,000 euros as a yearling. Fourth in a barrier trial over the course and distance, he should come on plenty for that effort. Shihoku warrants respect with Colin Keane booked to ride, while Parish Record will need to reverse Gowran form with the selection if he is to take this.

HENRY ADAMS is taken to provide Aidan O'Brien with a third win in this race in the last 4 years, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Fellow newcomers Versatile and Shihoku may give him most to do.

In a race where the market should be very informative, a token choice is the Michael O'Callaghan-trained SHIHOKU

LTO Selection:

16:37 Beverley Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

This represents a drop in class for BRINGBACKMEMORIES, who arrives here following a comfortable success over a similar distance at Haydock last month. He seemed to appreciate a shorter stamina test on that occasion and is fancied to mount another bold bid off 6lb higher. Others of interest include the consistent Crown Princess, who has gone up 1lb following a good second over an extended mile last month, and recent C&D winner Freak Out.

A case can be made for all of these but at the likely odds it is worth siding with SOLAR JOE to capitalise on a good mark now he reverts to a longer trip. Haydock scorer Bringbackmemories and course specialist Poet's Dawn head the list of dangers and can chase home Richard Fahey's 5-y-o in that order.

The runner with the most potential is ORIOLE (nap) and Ralph Beckett's 4yo is taken to build on an encouraging reappearance at Chester.

Blindfold was removed late at Newmarket last week and he did well considering that.
LTO Selection:

16:42 Leicester Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

AL MUZN improved for first-time blinkers when romping home over C&D three weeks ago and, even though the handicapper put him up 13lb for that success, he did create the impression there is more to come. Admittedly, this is tougher and the likes of Revision, who returns after wind surgery, and Zabbie both command respect, while Shot Of Love can also give the selection a scare.

BOAFO BOY did well to finish as close as he did given his track position at Newmarket last week and with blinkers expected to sharpen him up, he can record win number 3 of his career. Shot of Love seems sure to go well again, while the assessor has taken a swipe at Al Muzn but he's in top hands.

It could pay to chance CRAVEN in the hope that, with the visor back on, he can return to the form of his York fourth.

LTO Selection:

16:50 Sandown Handicap (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow

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

NOVUS finished a respectable sixth in the Sandringham at Royal Ascot last month and the Gary Moore-trained filly is fancied to regain the winning thread in these slightly calmer waters. Last-time-out novice winner New Business enters handicaps off what looks a workable mark and the son of Sea The Stars isn't taken lightly, while the hat-trick seeking Merlin The Wizard cannot be discounted either, with a 6lb rise for his recent success at Ffos Las looking more than fair.

It wasn't the deepest of races MERLIN THE WIZARD won at Ffos Las 13 days ago, but it was very hard not to be impressed with the manner of his victory and he looks up to completing the hat-trick with further improvement on the cards. New Business and Novus are others to view positively.

Unexposed NEW BUSINESS should build on his Kempton success. Merlin The Wizard is feared most.

LTO Selection:

16:55 Bellewstown Maiden Hurdle 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The form of the valuable handicap hurdle at Killarney that GORDONS AURA finished fourth in looks strong with the winner being considered for the Galway Hurdle, and the horse behind him in fifth delivering twice since then. Any rain will be to Gordons Aura's advantage. Charlie Luciano has won his last two hurdle races and was notably tough in Downpatrick. He won't be easily passed. Calico, a stablemate of Gordons Aura, was a beaten favourite at Ballinrobe, but that was in her bid for a hat-trick and she looks dangerous off a handy weight. After a string of placed efforts, Mister Wilson made the breakthrough over flights in Listowel and has a part to play.

Off the mark over hurdles at Fairyhouse in February, GORDONS AURA has largely shaped as if still in good form since, fourth at listed level at Killarney in May. He looks to hold sound claims back in calmer waters, with Charlie Luciano and Mister Wilson heading up the dangers.

Just the top four count; CHARLIE LUCIANO can complete a hat-trick in this discipline. Mister Wilson, also improving, is feared most

Won at Beverley in May and solid fourth at Chester last week but needs something extra.
LTO Selection:

17:00 Haydock Handicap (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow

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

JOHNNY JAMES kept his unbeaten record intact when winning with something in hand at Southwell last month and a subsequent gelding operation may see Mick Appleby's handicap debutant land a hat-trick. The lightly-raced Nails Murphy is only making his fourth appearance and likely has more to offer in this sphere too, while Man Of Eden posted arguably his best effort to date when runner-up at Newmarket last Thursday and a 1lb nudge up the ratings shouldn't prevent another bold bid.

MAN OF EDEN came from much further back than the pair he split at Newmarket last week and is still relatively lightly raced in handicaps, especially at this trip, so he's well worth another chance to confirm his recent promise. Prairie Falcon found only an improver too strong at Doncaster on his most recent outing, so must enter calculations, along with Nails Murphy, who improved after a break/gelding operation at Goodwood.

The newly gelded PRAIRIE FALCON may have bumped into a well-treated winner when a clear second at Doncaster last Saturday.

Doing well for small in-form yard but stiff-looking task at these weights.
LTO Selection:

17:05 Naas Stakes 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

VERNET looks the one to beat, with Hugh Horgan claiming a valuable 7lb. The highest rated runner in the line-up, she is already a dual winner from four starts and is open to further progress. Since winning on debut at Cork last September, Clever And Cool has been tried at a high level. Often slow away from the stalls, the Vocalised bay should appreciate this drop in class. Red Letter Bay is a dual course winner but has plenty to find on ratings and probably needs an ease in the ground to be seen at his best. Go Sioux Me ran a race full of promise on debut and it'll be interesting to see how he fares, while Winemaker will need to bounce back from a disappointing effort if he is to feature here. Pandora Lovegood completes the line-up, returning to action for the first time since September, and she is likely to need the run.

The unexposed VERNET built on her reappearance effort when scoring at Fairyhouse last month and she will take plenty of stopping on these terms. Clevel And Cool gets the nod for forecast purposes, while Go Sioux Me, who shaped with promise on his recent introduction here, is most interesting of the remainder.

Having won a shade snugly under forcing tactics at Fairyhouse recently, VERNET looks the one to beat again here

LTO Selection:

17:12 Beverley Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

This could go the way of handicap debutant MASCANI, who finished a fair fifth in maiden company over 6f in May. The gelded son of Mastercraftsman looks bred to appreciate a stiffer stamina test and he is entitled to take a big step forward here. Recent C&D winner Ski Jump can give him plenty to think about off 3lb higher, while Ribkana is another to bear in mind.

SKI JUMP was always well positioned off a steady gallop when shedding the maiden tag over C&D 11 days ago, but left the impression he always had matters in hand when tackled and a 3 lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid. Mascani is an intriguing handicap debutant now upped markedly in trip and warrants a second look. Keeponbelieving completes the shortlist.

Grant Tuer's MASCANI appeals as the sort to take a sizeable step forward now handicapping over a much longer trip so he gets the verdict

LTO Selection:

17:17 Leicester Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Madame Fenella has done well on the all-weather lately and can go close if she takes the return to turf in her stride, while My Delilah won decisively over an extended 5f at Bath last month and is respected off 8lb higher. Nevertheless, ANNIE LAW has been given a chance by the handicapper, off just 2lb higher than her recent Doncaster success, and James Fanshawe's lightly-raced filly appeals most at the weights here.

MY DELILAH took her form up a level when an impressive Bath winner and still looks ahead of her mark despite being hiked up 8 lb. She gets the vote ahead of Nuthatch, who can race off the same mark as when a good Goodwood second. Course winner Eponina appeals as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

A competitive race may go to ANNIE LAW who emerged from off the pace to win at Doncaster and she's unexposed at this trip.

LTO Selection:

17:25 Sandown Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

ORCHESTRA hasn't been sustaining his finishing effort in recent defeats, but a first-time visor could prove the tonic for Ed Dunlop's gelding and enable him to enjoy a second success of the season. Entrancement has been hiked up 11lb for her six-and-a-half length win at Goodwood in May, nevertheless, she could still have more to offer. Ramensky stayed on into third over C&D last month and completes the shortlist.

This looks wide open and with that in mind the vote goes to ORCHESTRA. An improved model this term (successful at Beverley in May), he's been far from disgraced both starts in handicaps since and the application of a visor could just eke out a little more. Ramensky and Entrancement are others to consider, with Ribal also interesting having been gelded.

This is an interesting field but they all present issues of one sort or another. ABU ROYAL is taken to bounce back from a poor run.

LTO Selection:

17:30 Bellewstown Maiden Hurdle 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ENCANTO BRUNO can go well on his eagerly-awaited debut over hurdles. John McConnell's charge won two bumpers including one at Cheltenham which has thrown up a plethora of winners. That earned him a shot at the festival at the same track where he finished mid-division in the Grade 1 champion bumper after racing keenly on ground that was arguably too slow for him. He is sure to be well schooled for this jumping assignment. Now Is The Hour is an intriguing track debutant for Gavin Cromwell after cruising home by 30 lengths in a Cragmore point-to-point in January. Baby Chou is in good hands and has been placed on her last couple of maiden hurdles. Cromwell also saddles Dutch Schultz and Fameaftertheglory who are closely matched on ratings, while Finans Bay won twice on the Flat and is worth a market check on jumping debut for Henry de Bromhead.

ENCANTO BRUNO displayed more than his share of ability in bumpers so assuming he takes to hurdling, he's up to winning this. Fameaftertheglory and Dutch Schultz may give the selection most to think about.

If ENCANTO BRUNO can translate his bumper form to this sphere, he should beat these; Dutch Schultz just about sets the standard

LTO Selection:

17:40 Naas Handicap 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A competitive contest to round off proceedings. With Tom Kiely Marshall claiming a valuable 7lb, WATER MINT is the selection. The Fast Company bay stormed home to take fourth at Limerick on her most recent start and a reproduction of that performance should see her go close. A case can be made for many others with Get Set Jet given second preference. He caught the eye when third on his handicap debut at Leopardstown last month and it'll come as little surprise if he manages to go a few places better now. Top-weight Givemefive is tried in blinkers for the first time and he is sure to have plenty of supporters after finishing a never-nearer third at Gowran most recently. Hialeah, Katonah, Lucky Question and Fairyhouse winner Sapristi are other leading hopes.

WATER MINT did well to get as close as she did from well off the pace at Limerick last time and is worth a chance to build on that promise. Hialeah and Givemefive were second/third in a big field at Gowran last month and might be the pair to give the selection most to do. Get Set Jet is also respected after finishing a good third on his Leopardstown handicap debut.

Preference is for GET SET JET who finished strongly over a mile at Leopardstown and should relish this step up in trip

LTO Selection:

17:45 Carlisle Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Giselles Izzy was rewarded for her game efforts in defeat when gaining a first success on turf at Hamilton recently, but a 6lb rise in the ratings will make life tougher for the Iain Jardine-trained filly. With that in mind, it may pay to take a chance on BURJ MALINKA. The five-year-old is effectively 3lb lower than his last success if taking Mia Nicholls' 5lb claim into account and he arrives in good heart. Similar sentiments could be applied to Beauty Choice, with the son of Bated Breath a viable alternative.

It's probably best to overlook LANGHOLM's latest effort at Catterick where he was too keen for his own good. The 7-y-o performed with credit on his first 3 starts of this season and he could be worth siding with back at 6f. Burj Malinka arrives here on the back of solid enough efforts at Hamilton the last twice and he is next on the list ahead of Brian The Snail and the in-form Giselles Izzy.

The most striking contender is GISELLES IZZY, who hit a personal best with her comfortable win in a big field at Hamilton last week.

LTO Selection:

17:50 Leicester Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

The in-form GRAFFITI looks the best starting point in this wide-open handicap and, having won for Liam Wright at Nottingham last month, the 2lb rise is more than off-set now the rider can utilise his 7lb claim. Lingfield winner Blue Collar Lad is a big danger under Billy Loughnane, while others to monitor in the betting include Kodebreaker and Eagle Eyed Freddie.

Little between the principals on form but GRAFFITI did well to overcome a pace bias when scoring at Nottingham and is taken to follow up at the chief expense of Lingfield scorer Blue Collar Lad. Kodebreaker didn't enjoy the rub of the green when fourth at Redcar and can have a say too in a very open contest.

After starting slowly, GRAFFITI did well to get the job done at Nottingham and he might well follow up in another modest contest.

LTO Selection:

18:00 Bellewstown Handicap Hurdle 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MAGNOR GLORY has viable credentials based on the form of his last three outings. He won a Grade B handicap hurdle at Listowel in September by three lengths and resumed this season with placed efforts in valuable handicap hurdles at Fairyhouse and Killarney. Gordon Elliott holds a strong hand in this race and his Amir Kabir is dropping down from graded company to compete off top-weight on handicap debut, so has to be given plenty of respect. Elliott's Set Point looks ready for a step up in class after winning in Downpatrick and then a shade cosily in Tramore. The handicapper has had his say, but this son of Sea The Stars appears to be progressive. Global Export blew away the cobwebs with a never nearer third on the Flat in Listowel and this looks an ideal trip for her, while Elliott's By Your Side and his conqueror in Downpatrick, Rock On Seamie, are others in the hunt for a cheque.

Gordon Elliott saddles 4 with viable claims, with BY YOUR SIDE just about the pick of them having made up a lot of ground in a slowly-run race when second to Rock On Seamie at Downpatrick. Set Point has to be feared in his hat-trick bid, while My Gaffer's ceiling hasn't been reached, so he completes the shortlist.

A fine prize and plenty with chances but WEDDELL SEA, progressive last summer, shaped well on his return at Listowel and gets the vote

LTO Selection:

18:12 Nottingham Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

JUST HISS did well to succeed from an uncompromising position at Newcastle last Friday and a 3lb rise could prove on the lenient side. Let Her Loose can't be discounted having gone up 5lb in the ratings for her comfortable triumph over 1m4f at Brighton recently and is feared most, despite the drop to 1m2f not looking ideal. Point Louise also arrives in good form and completes the shortlist now switched to turf.

HER WAY has slipped in the weights since an encouraging third at Newcastle in February and a chance is taken that she can build on her wide-margin victory there in a stable-staff race now back under Rules. Just Hiss led home Point Louise at that same course last week and that pair are highly respected again, alongside recent Brighton winner Let Her Loose.

A recent 5lb rise asks her a question but LET HER LOOSE looked in very good nick when scoring by a good margin at Brighton recently.

LTO Selection:

18:22 Carlisle Stakes (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Several to consider in a tightly-knit contest, with BITS AND BOBS edging the vote. Andrew Balding's colt could be classed as an unlucky loser at Chester last month, when given too much to do, and he looks more than capable of picking up a race of this nature. There was plenty to like about Jungle Mate's debut success at Hamilton in May and he's feared most, ahead of Ganesha, who wasn't disgraced when finishing seventh in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot last time.

Several of these are open to improvement, not least GANESHA, whose debut form is working out well and he wasn't disgraced at Royal Ascot last time. Bits And Bobs was attempting to concede weight all round when a strong-finishing second at Chester and he looks set for another bold show. Andrew Balding's charge is second choice, albeit only marginally as Jungle Mate, a winner on debut at Hamilton, and the Karl Burke-trained duo Action Plan and That's For Sure are also appealing.

A few hold chances but there was a lot to like about the debut Hamilton win of Kevin Ryan's JUNGLE MATE and he looks the way to go.

LTO Selection:

18:30 Bellewstown Maiden Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

TINA MEEHAN is returning off a long absence but, such was the manner of her victory in a Tramore bumper, she is hard to get away from on hurdling debut. She put the field to the sword by 14 lengths and the runner-up was good enough to win a bumper on her next start. Ginnets Girl was put in her place in second over further at Punchestown last month, but is entitled to come on from that first run since November. Miss Fourie made a good start to life with Peter Fahey when runner-up at Wexford in June, while Winning Mischief has improved on each run over hurdles.

TINA MEEHAN looked yet another very bright prospect for her all-conquering stable when landing a Tramore bumper in comfortable fashion back in the autumn and she's expected to make her presence felt now her sights are sent on hurdling for the first time. Miss Fourie, following her good Wexford second last month, and Ginnets Girl are next best, ahead of Winning Mischief, who is steadily going the right way.

Runner-up three times over hurdles, GINNETS GIRL can put her experience to good use and see off facile bumper winner Tina Meehan

LTO Selection:

18:42 Nottingham Stakes (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

FUSTERLANDIA found the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot last month beyond him at this stage of his career, but the Richard Hannon-trained colt holds leading claims on his earlier efforts and could gain a breakthrough success at the fourth time of asking. Fifty Grand Slater returned to form when runner-up on the all-weather recently and a similar level of performance should see the son of Kodiac in the frame once more, while newcomer Nazron is a potential fly in the ointment.

This appeals as a decent heat, with FUSTERLANDIA taken to build on the promise of his first 2 efforts despite a slightly disappointing display at Royal Ascot last time. Instant Recall took a significant step forward on his second start last time and can pose the biggest threat with further progress anticipated, whilst Fifty Grand Slater and the debutant Nazron are others to consider.

Back in much calmer waters today, FUSTERLANDIA can deliver on the considerable promise he showed on his first two starts.

LTO Selection:

18:52 Carlisle Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

ASTAPOR found only a resurgent rival too strong at Chester last Friday and a return to class 6 company may be enough for the five-year-old to regain the winning thread. Sixcor did well to finish second from an uncompromising position at Musselburgh recently and also warrants consideration at this level, while Zoom Star posted another creditable effort in defeat last time at Catterick and completes the shortlist.

ZOOM STAR arrives at the top of her game and is fancied to go one better than her good second at Catterick 54 days ago. Sixcor is well treated and filled the same spot at Musselburgh 15 days ago, so he's considered a threat along with Astapor.

Zoom Star and Sixcor are respected but BOROUGH, who ran well on the AW last week, is open to improvement back on turf.

LTO Selection:

19:00 Bellewstown Handicap Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

There should be a big run in CHAPEL STREET. He was a comprehensive winner, in a higher class, over a similar trip at Wexford over a year ago and then finished third behind two subsequent winners at the same track on his reappearance at the end of May. Sarah Kavanagh takes 4lb off his back and he is weighted to go well. Hand Over Fist can improve upon a promising third place in Tramore that came off an absence of more than six months. That run came in a higher grade and he remains on the same handicap mark of 95. Jenny Flex is a well-bred sort and there is likely to be more to come from this former point-to-point winner.

JENNY FLEX shaped well when fifth at Downpatrick a couple of months ago and there's every chance her top yard can get some improvement out of her now, so she's preferred to in-form pair Chapel Street and Hand Over Fist

A chance is taken on MAKFILS, who can go well fresh and a case can be made on a good many of his competitive efforts.

LTO Selection:

19:12 Nottingham Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

HELLO ME appeared a different proposition when winning in a first-time visor at Kempton last month and she could make light work of a 3lb rise. Fellow last-time-out winner Bondi Bay boasts an unexposed profile and likely has more to offer on her handicap debut. Rae Guest's filly is feared most, ahead of Razzam, who wasn't disgraced on the all-weather in May and can't be ruled out having undergone a gelding operation in the meantime.

ASADJUMEIRAH was unlucky not to finish much closer at Doncaster last week having been repeatedly denied a run, so he's well worth another chance from an attractive mark. Bondi Bay is open to further improvement now venturing into handicaps, while Batchelor Boy is sure to be thereabouts if reproducing his latest effort.

This is a different test for BONDI BAY (nap) but she looked promising in her two starts and could have been let into handicaps lightly.

LTO Selection:

19:22 Carlisle Maiden (Class 5) 11f Race Class Flow

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

Sir Michael Stout's LET LIFE HAPPEN looked promising on her Kempton debut and, given the way she stayed on when she got room in the closing stages, it would be no surprise to see her get off the mark at the second time of asking. Lady Bracken ran green on her introduction but is likely to be wiser today, while Wilding is an interesting newcomer and may be the pick of Karl Burke's two runners.

This looks a good opportunity for Sir Michael Stoute's LET LIFE HAPPEN to build on a very promising debut run at Kempton last month. Fifth Harmonic offered something to work on when fourth on her Haydock debut and is second choice ahead of Riccirella, who switches to the Flat after placing twice in bumpers last month.

Fifth Harmonic and LET LIFE HAPPEN both shaped well on debut and the latter can get off the mark at the second attempt.

JOSHUA CHAMBERLAIN showed promise in bumpers and ran his best race over hurdles when placed at Downpatrick last month. This longer trip is a slight concern but he's bred to stay and this isn't the stiffest of tracks. Our Bobby is still 9lb higher than when gaining his only hurdles win at Wexford last summer. He has been placed several times since, including over this trip, and performed well when fitted with a first-time hood at Punchestown in May. Top Line Tommy won a 2m5f beginners' chase at Tramore last month and found 2m too sharp when runner-up in a handicap at Clonmel. He has plenty of placed form in this discipline and is rated 10lb lower over hurdles compared to his chase rating.

Plenty in with chances but the tentative vote goes to TOP LINE TOMMY, who finally got off the mark over obstacles on his penultimate outing at Tramore and back over hurdles, Edward O'Grady's 7-y-o can take advantage of his lower mark in this sphere. Hidalgo des Mottes is going through a good spell at the moment, so he's fancied to be in the shake-up, along with Our Bobby and Cassarina Gold.

The 6yo JOSHUA CHAMBERLAIN had some good bumper form and his latest Downpatrick third was his best run yet over hurdles.

LTO Selection:

19:42 Nottingham Stakes (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

JO'S RAINBOW had shown plenty before opening her account at Haydock a fortnight ago and a drop into classified company could see the Nathaniel filly repeat the dose this evening. Recent Wetherby scorer Flight Of Angels appeals as her most likely challenger, while it would be no surprise to see the Hugo Palmer-trained Order Of Malta, who is related to some useful types, make his presence felt.

JO'S RAINBOW was much improved when landing a Haydock handicap in good style a fortnight ago and is selected to follow up with further progress on the cards. Savanna King shaped well at Salisbury and is fancied to provide the main threat.

A chance is taken on the well-bred ORDER OF MALTA who comes here after a break and a gelding operation.

LTO Selection:

19:52 Carlisle Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

STRONGBOWE ran a blinder when second in the consolation race for the Carlisle Bell 10 days ago and offers strong appeal off just 3lb higher after that very narrow defeat. It's also notable that Tim Easterby's gelding fended off Detective when winning this race last year and repeat of that result is a distinct possibility based on recent form. The unexposed Cori Glory and Overrule are others to consider.

AL MOTASIM got back on track when fourth at Newbury last time and his effort could be marked up given he made his challenge further towards the far side than ideal, so a chance is taken on him to get the better of Strongbowe, who was a good second over C&D 10 days ago. Cori Glory got off the mark in decisive fashion at Beverley last time, so she's also considered.

The likeable 7yo STRONGBOWE (nap) can build on his fine recent second here to follow up his success in this contest 12 months ago.

LTO Selection:

20:00 Bellewstown Handicap Hurdle 24f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ATTABOYARCHIE ran plenty of good races in bumpers under Emma Sweeney, notably when second to subsequent Grade 1-winning hurdler Good Land, and the family-owned gelding can again give his rider a good spin on handicap hurdle debut. Runner-up in a Navan maiden last year, he was a little disappointing when a beaten favourite over 2m4f at Wexford last time but this longer trip may play to his strengths. Mary Cassatt was a decisive winner of a 2m6f maiden at Killarney and again showed her liking for a test of stamina when beaten less than a length in a Cartmel handicap over 3m1f. Still only four, she's open to plenty of improvement. Easy Fella is another that stays well and was a wide-margin winner of a Punchestown maiden last month. He's been given a 6lb hike for that but could still be on good mark for his first handicap.

EASY FELLA looks to start life in handicaps off a lenient mark so can follow up his Punchestown novice success at the chief expense of Macgiloney who rates a big threat after his unlucky late exit at Kilbeggan last time. Country Queen and Mary Cassatt complete the shortlist.

The 6yo ATTABOYARCHIE has yet to win a race but he's got the form to threaten off this sort of mark. Mary Cassatt is next best.

LTO Selection:

20:12 Nottingham Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

I Still Have Faith deserves a change of luck having posted back-to-back seconds recently, but he might have to play a supporting role with the Roger Varian-trained WARREN HILL fancied to come out on top. The No Nay Never filly, a half-sister to the smart Global Storm, has been running well over 1m lately, but today's step up in trip can bring about further improvement. Royal Dream perhaps failed to stay 1m4f last time out and he could be more potent back over shorter.

I STILL HAVE FAITH has shown improved form equipped with a hood in handicaps of late, looking unlucky not to prevail on his latest start at Leicester 9 days ago. He can deservedly open his account from a 1 lb higher mark. Warren Hill and Royal Dream head up the dangers, ahead of Different Tone.

Royal Dream should still have some scope back at 1m2f but perhaps this is the day that I STILL HAVE FAITH gets off the mark.

LTO Selection:

20:22 Carlisle Handicap (Class 6) 9f Race Class Flow

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

Recent form suggests following KALAHARI PRINCE could be the route to follow in a contest where all have struggled to find success so far this season. The selection has, however, posted several consistent efforts and, having gone agonisingly close at Musselburgh on Wednesday, the quick turn around suggests the gelding is set for another bold effort. Dark Company has shown more sparkle lately and is feared, along with previous course winner Star Of St James, who is attractively weighted just now.

If KALAHARI PRINCE can reproduce the form he showed when second at Musselburgh earlier in the week he may be able to get his head back in front. Star of St James is down to the mark he defied here last summer and took a step back in the right direction last time so he's second choice. Dark Company arrives in form and also makes the shortlist.

Several have possibilities but KALAHARI PRINCE gets the vote ahead of Dark Company and Chinese Spirit.

LTO Selection:

20:30 Bellewstown NH Flat Race 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

It could be a mistake to oppose Willie Mullins in a bumper but INTENSE APPROACH is taken to score for local handler John McConnell. An expensive purchase from the point-to-point sphere after winning at Farmacaffley for Constitution Hill's original handler Warren Ewing, the son of Jack Hobbs was pipped by a Mullins' inmate at Ballinrobe in May. That year-older rival had solid bumper form in the book and, with the benefit of that experience, the selection can go one better. Many won't look beyond the Mullins-trained Ivana who readily justified favouritism on her debut at Limerick in May. The runner-up is due to put that form to the test at Wexford on Friday. Downpatrick third Gone For Tea is entitled to improve with that run under her belt but may have to settle for minor honours again,

IVANA ran out an impressive winner on her debut at Limerick last month and looks the way to go here with improvement very much on the cards. Intense Approach also shaped well on his first start when runner-up at Ballinrobe and should ensure the mare doesn't have things all her own way. Newcomers Cape Best and Valiretta can fight it out for minor honours.

Ivana could well be the answer, but INTENSE APPROACH leads the way on RPRs courtesy of his near miss at Ballinrobe.

5/1(-25%)
(4) Rose Camira 5/1, Steadily found her feet for present yard, building on her penultimate Yarmouth third when landing 6-runner C&D handicap 9 days ago, going clear over 1f out and closed down only late on. May yet have more to offer at this sort of trip.
Held on well for C&D win when upped in trip last week; 2lb nudge ought to be manageable.

Thunder Flash

18/1(-13%)
(7) Thunder Flash 18/1, Successful twice during a consistent spell on the Flat last summer but not yet fired in 2 starts on the level in recent months, sixth in 9-runner Newbury handicap (11f)11 days ago. Eased a little more in the weights ahead of this.
Didn't take to hurdling last year and returned to Flat with two low-key runs in May/June.

Lawmans Blis

10/1(+38%)
(5) Lawmans Blis 10/1, One win from 24 Flat runs. 7/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Beverley (12.1f, good to firm) 11 days ago, plugging on. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.
Has modest strike-rate but didn't run badly last time and has slipped to a good mark.

Smokey Malone

3.33/1(+17%)
(1) Smokey Malone 3.33/1, Course winner. Latest win at Southwell in April. Creditable second of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (16.3f, good to firm, 7/2) 28 days ago. Has good chance on form.
Consistent 5yo who is in good form and has conditions to suit; probably in the mix.

Norman Kindu

10/1(-43%)
(9) Norman Kindu 10/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap (12/1) at Redcar (14f, good to firm) 14 days ago, not ideally placed in a steadily-run race. One to bear in mind.
Not the force of old but his latest run was a good step back in the right direction.

Beggarman

5/1(+0%)
(2) Beggarman 5/1, All 3 career victories gained on AW but effective on turf and raised his game on previous efforts this year when second in 5-runner Ffos Las handicap 914f) 13 days ago. Not out of things with a repeat operating from same mark.
Better on AW surface but chased home well-handicapped rival on turf last month.
9th
9th (3) Desert Quest (11/1 +21%)
Desert Quest

11/1(+21%)
(3) Desert Quest 11/1, C&D winner. 12/1, ran well on the back of 8 months off when second of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (12.1f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Remains 1 lb above last winning mark.
Kept on for second on recent seasonal debut and remains just 1lb above last winning mark.
10th
10th (8) Embolden (14/1 +58%)
Embolden

14/1(+58%)
(8) Embolden 14/1, 11/1, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (16.6f, good) 29 days ago. Poor on last Flat run.
Won over hurdles in April and can't be ignored off career-low Flat mark.
LTO Selection:

20:42 Nottingham Handicap (Class 6) 14f Race Class Flow

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

It might be worth siding with ROSE CAMIRA, who found clear improvement when upped to this trip for the first time to score over C&D nine days ago. Raised just 2lb for that success, she can take another step forward and progress further over staying distances. Desert Quest returned to action with a good second at Hamilton last month and is entitled to build on that effort, while the consistent Smokey Malone can complete the tricast.

NORMAN KINDU took a step forward on his comeback run despite not being ideally placed in a steadily-run affair when fourth at Redcar (14f) 2 weeks ago and from this much-reduced mark, he could be worth chancing to build on that effort here. Marbuzet, Smokey Malone and Rose Camira are just a trio of others to consider.

It might be worth chancing LAWMANS BLIS, who is on a good mark and didn't look ideally suited by a change of tactics last time.

LTO Selection:

20:52 Carlisle Handicap (Class 6) 9f Race Class Flow

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

Josiebond is high on the shortlist off just 3lb higher than last month's Beverley success, while Mr Heinz was a close third in that race and has a feasible chance of turning the form around on the revised terms. However, preference is for the reliable ZUMAATY, who is still relatively unexposed on turf and, considering he has made the frame or won (once) in five of his eight previous starts on grass, he has strong claims on these terms.

JOSIEBOND was better than ever when scoring at Beverley last time and she's found a good opportunity to follow up in what appears to be a weak race on paper. Motarajel was fourth in the same race and is expected to give his running again, while Masham Moor can't be dismissed back from a break.

Back down in class, SHAHNAZ could well take advantage of a handy mark. Antagonize is second choice.

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.
