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

Count Otto and Zaman Jemil both arrive with strong form claims but the ground may not suit either of them. With that in mind, preference is for MUSIC SOCIETY, who was fourth in this race two years ago on soft and he was only beaten half a length into second at Ayr a couple of starts ago. The consistent Monsieur Kodi has made the frame in both appearances since winning at Thirsk in June and is likely to go well once again, while Justcallmepete and Mamillius are others to consider.

ZAMAN JEMIL's Thirsk win is backed up by a punchy timefigure and as a 3-y-o in excellent hands, his profile rather stands out here. Cooperation could do with breaking on terms but he's a big threat on his Haydock run, while stall 14 could be an advantage for Live In The Moment.

Capote's Dream and MONSIEUR KODI should ensure the unexposed 3yo Zaman Jemil doesn't have things all his own way.

The weather is predicted to take a turn for the worse ahead of Saturday's action and THIS SONGISFORYOU is tipped in the hope that ground conditions don't deteriorate too much. A bumper winner at last year's Festival, he had a good spin on the Flat here on Wednesday having run creditably behind previous winners on his hurdling bow at Roscommon a few weeks ago. In the same colours as the selection, Enfranchise drops into maiden company over hurdles for the first time having finished fifth in a Listed novice contest here on Tuesday. Useful on the Flat, she has had five runs over hurdles and all that experience will be an asset. Olympic Man was a Flat winner over 1m7f in France and twice ran well over hurdles, but he's been off well over two years and Paul Townend prefers to ride fellow French recruit Ninth Titan, who was found wanting at stakes level on the Flat but is a four-time winner over 10 furlongs.

THIS SONGISFORYOU won a bumper here 12 months ago and posted an encouraging first start in this sphere at Roscommon last month. He should have learnt plenty from that experience and gets the nod in a competitive opener. Enfranchise looks the chief danger on form whilst Ninth Titan looks the pick of the Willie Mullins trio, judged on jockey bookings.

The fact that Paul Townend chooses hurdles newcomer NINTH TITAN of the Mullns trio has to be a tip in itself and he is the selection

SAY HELLO made a mockery of her opening mark when bolting up over C&D eight days ago. First-time blinkers were reported to be a key factor in her success, so it's possible that she could defy a hefty 13lb hike in the retained headgear. Tierney sprung a surprise at Haydock and can provide stiff opposition to the selection from 7lb higher, along with Woodhay Wonder, who ought to fare better in nurseries having finished third of four in the Duchess Of Cambridge. Hat-trick seeker Snafiya is also noted.

SAY HELLO has a significant rise in the weights to contend with, but with last week's wide-margin C&D win backed up by the timefigure, she's taken to make it 2 from 2 in nursery company. Fellow last-time-out winners Defying Orders and Tierney head the opposition.

The four last-time-out winners are dangerous and so too Woodhay Wonder, but LADY WULFRUN could be the best handicapped.

WITHOUT FLAW was a good winner over 6f at Ffos Las on her latest outing and this looks like a good opportunity to follow up that success. Archie Watson's charge carries a 6lb penalty for that two-and-a-half-length win but that doesn't appear out of her reach after winning in such comfortable fashion. Tiora is feared most after a good second over 6f at Nottingham but she has been raised 2lb in the ratings which makes life tougher, while Swiftly should also be noted on her handicap bow.

WITHOUT FLAW produced a front-running performance befitting of her name at Ffos Las recently and, if able to perform to a similar level here just five days later, she will prove hard to beat. Tiora was runner-up on her nursery debut at Nottingham and she gets the nod ahead of Justahunch for forecast purposes.

The one to beat is WITHOUT FLAW who seemed to revel in testing conditions at Ffos Las on Monday and looks well treated under a penalty.

BOARDROOM made a very pleasing start to her career when second over 5f at Beverley and this looks like a good opportunity for the filly to go one better. Pilgrim is feared most after being just touched off on his racecourse debut over 5f at Ayr and a repeat of that effort would see him go close, while the consistent Willolarupi and Jungle Jim should also be thereabouts.

BOARDROOM has an appealing sprinting pedigree and shaped with plenty of promise when runner-up in a Beverley novice 18 days ago, running green before finishing off strongly. Sure to have derived plenty from that effort, she could well be up to building on that now and could be good enough to score. There is some depth to this race, with Pilgrim, Willolarupi and Irish Nectar a trio of others fancied to be firmly in the mix.

The attractively bred BOARDROOM was a promising second at Beverley on last month's debut and is taken to beat the males.

SPLENDENT was a comfortable winner over 1m4f at Newbury, scoring by four lengths, and he shaped as if this extra yardage would be no issue. He has been handed a 5lb rise, but that could prove lenient. Sweet William is an obvious danger after victories at Doncaster and, most recently, at Newbury, where he scored comfortably on his handicap debut. He is a stayer on the up and another success could help him sneak into the Ebor field. Hms President, Adjuvant, Omniscient and Post Impressionist are others to consider.

SWEET WILLIAM needs to win this to stand any chance of getting in the Ebor and he might well be up to the task assuming he can cope with much softer ground than he's encountered before. Omniscient is another lightly-raced 4-y-o who likely has more to offer and heads the dangers along with HMS President and Adjuvant, who were 1-2 in a strong Newmarket handicap over this trip earlier in the season.

While lots of these could be in serious each-way contention, the rest may face a stiff task against SWEET WILLIAM.

A valuable contest that Willie Mullins has farmed over the years and one of his strong contingent, NIKINI, is put forward as a sporting selection. A winner over 2m4f last autumn, she ran well on soft ground in a Grade 3 contest at Down Royal in November and has warmed up for this with a couple of spins on the level. Kieran Callaghan takes off a valuable 5lb and maybe she'll improve for this longer trip. Paul Townend is on Power Of Pause, who has been gradually returning to form after missing almost two years and won't mind testing ground . His second at Ballinrobe in May was an encouraging effort. Thecompanysergeant was a progressive novice last term and was last seen when finishing runner-up in a Grade 2 at Fairyhouse. He should relish the step up in trip and is ground versatile. Watch The Weather bolted up at Tipperary but a stone rise in his rating may be too much to overcome.

THECOMPANYSERGEANT has made a promising start over hurdles and having finished runner-up in a Grade 2 at Fairyhouse back in April (admittedly well beaten), Denis Hogan's 6-y-o is taken to go one better and double his tally over hurdles. Willie Mullins fires plenty of darts and Maze Runner could emerge as his best chance, while Ilikedwayurthinkin and Watch The Weather are another couple worth considering.

The selection is DIGBY, a faller when with every chance in this race last year with a good Roscommon run under his belt

Having chased home two quality rivals in Emily Dickinson and Rosscarbery in the Curragh Cup a fortnight ago, AMUSEMENT drops in class and is expected to prove a cut above these rivals. Sea The Stars filly Sweet Memories, a half-sister to Group 1 winner Cursory Glance, can improve on her Newbury novice success to play a leading role for last year's winning yard. Her stablemate Spring Fever should not be underestimated either, though the Charlie Appleby-trained Sunset Point is perhaps a stronger contender.

AMUSEMENT sets a clear standard on the form she showed when third to this week's Goodwood Cup runner-up Emily Dickinson at the Curragh last month. Sunset Point has had the form of her Ascot win boosted when the third won a Glorious Goodwood handicap on Wednesday and she's second choice ahead of Gosden stable pair Sweet Memories, who is very much the unknown quantity here, and Spring Fever.

These Listed races for fillies are rarely straightforward but AMUSEMENT (nap) has been holding her own in better races of late.

Despite only half a dozen runners lining up, this still appears to be a competitive contest with the tentative selection being STAR OF LADY M. David O'Meara's three-year-old was a clear second over the extended 5f at York last time and this looks a good opportunity for her to go one better today, despite having to negotiate a 1lb rise in the ratings. Last-time-out winners Thunder Star and Slingsbytoo both arrive here in good form but they have been handed 5lb and 3lb penalties respectively for those victories and have no margin for error.

SLINGSBYTOO finished strongly when opening his account dropped to 5f for the first time at Catterick last month and, provided that they go an honest gallop here, a 3 lb rise may not be enough to stop him in his tracks. Fortunate Star did well under the circumstances at Nottingham recently and he is feared most ahead of Star of Lady M.

This can go to STAR OF LADY M (nap) who has been steadily working her way back into form in handicaps this year and goes on any ground.

DARK DESIRE was a comfortable winner over 7f at Haydock last month and Karl Burke's filly shaped as if this extra yardage wouldn't be an issue. The biggest danger to the selection may prove to be Lord Bertie, who has been off the track for 368 days but he was a winner on his most recent outing at Ffos Las, while True Nation could also have a say.

LORD BERTIE seems sure to progress if all is well and this could be a good opening for him on his return. The well-regarded Dark Desire did everything right when scoring at Haydock and can go on improving. Operation Gimcrack, behind Karl Burke's charge at Haydock, should also do better.

It's likely this will develop into a straight fight between winners LORD BERTIE and Dark Desire, with preference for the former.

The Gosdens have enjoyed plenty of success in this race over the years, most recently with the classy Enbihaar in 2019 and 2020, and they are expected to lift this prestigious prize once again with FREE WIND. Having landed the Middleton on her return to action, she was far from disgraced when taking on the boys in the Hardwicke. She sets a lofty standard back against her own sex and can repel the likely challenge of River Of Stars. Luisa Casati ought to relish ground conditions and it would be folly to write her off, while Time Lock is also noted now upped in distance.

FREE WIND was below her best in the Hardwicke at Royal Ascot but she undoubtedly remains one to be positive about now stepping back up in trip and, in the hope underfoot conditions don't catch her out (dam was well proven in the mud) she can get back to winning ways. River of Stars, who finished in a French Group 2 latest, and Time Lock can prove the chief threats.

Facing lesser opposition than at Royal Ascot, FREE WIND can bounce back from that short-priced defeat with a short-priced win today.

NAVY SEAL, whose trainer has won this maiden on numerous occasions, has a run under his belt which is likely to prove crucial and he kept on nicely when fifth over this trip at Killarney last month. He's well entered up in Group races and many of the Ballydoyle juveniles show significant improvement on their second start. Wootton Bassett has been doing well with his two-year-olds this year and Bad Desire, a half-brother to an unbeaten French colt who was a Listed and Group 3 winner at two, is likely to be the main threat to the selection. Kathaniel's half-sister won first time out at two last term for Dermot Weld and Andy Slattery's newcomer may be next best.

NAVY SEAL was doing some good late work when fifth at Killarney on debut and, with plenty of improvement expected, he's likely to get off the mark. Bad Desire makes plenty of appeal on paper and looks the obvious danger.

It's hard to get away from NAVY SEAL who showed ability on last month's debut and could be hard to beat with improvement likely

Reina Del Mar has been in fine fettle here and must enter calculations once again, but the vote goes to INTINSO. The son of Siyouni kept on well to reach the frame at Chelmsford last time out, just behind a subsequent winner, and looks set to relish a further hike in trip so is fancied to step forward. Toshizou posted a creditable effort in the Old Newton Cup at Haydock and makes obvious appeal down in class.

REINA DEL MAR arrives in top form and is proven at the track, so she's preferred to Hasty Sailor, who could get back on track after a couple of months off. Charging Thunder is in good order and could prove hard to peg back if allowed an easy lead.

Most of these have questions to answer. INTINSO is evidently still learning on the job but he retains significant potential.

WONDERWALL is very useful over obstacles and he made a pleasing Flat debut when a neck second over 1m2f at Pontefract last month, so looks a big player today with scope for improvement. Jeff Koons should also be taken seriously after shaping as if this step up in trip would be a positive when scoring over 1m at Newmarket, while Iron Lion is another to consider.

MEASURED TIME was a warm order prior to making a successful start at Kempton 6 months ago and, with the longer trip in his favour, he's preferred to fellow winner Jeff Koons, who still looked green despite getting up late at Newmarket recently. Iron Lion is another one to consider for all that he lacks the potential of the aforementioned pair.

WOVEN returned to form with a good third over 7f at Doncaster last time and he can get his head back in front here. Michael Dods' seven-year-old was beaten just half a length on that occasion and a 1lb rise in the ratings may not halt his progression. Maywake was fourth on that occasion and he will have to take a step forward to reverse the form, while Razeyna could also go well.

MAYWAKE has been knocking on the door this season and is taken to deservedly regain the winning thread. Next on the list is Harswell Duke, who looked better than ever when landing the Spring Mile at Doncaster in April and his subsequent effort at Newmarket can be excused. Razeyna and Woven are others to consider in a competitive handicap.

The lightly raced filly RAZEYNA has run well in defeat on both starts this season and earns the vote for William Haggas.

ORAZIO looked a sprinter going places earlier in the season with victories at Newmarket and Ascot before running creditably in the Wokingham at the Royal meeting. The ground might have been on the faster side for him on that occasion and the four-year-old doesn't appear to have reached the ceiling of his potential. Apollo One finished second in the aforementioned contest and is expected to be in the mix once again, while others for the shortlist in a typically competitive renewal include Badri, Summerghand and Bielsa.

Conditions were probably too quick for ORAZIO in the Wokingham and, with slower ground on the cards here, the lightly-raced 4-y-o is taken to regain the winning thread. He left the strong impression that there's a big prize in him when landing handicaps at Newmarket and Ascot during the spring, and the booking of the in-form Jim Crowley adds to his appeal. Albasheer and the selection's stablemate Tanmawwy are feared most in that order of preference, while King's Lynn is also shortlisted.

Kevin Ryan holds a strong hand with BIELSA (nap) marginally preferred to stablemate Aleezdancer. Orazio is best of the rest.

LORD VADER, who had placed form on the all-weather in Britain, caught the eye on his second start for Emmet Mullins at Limerick in April and again came home well when fourth in the Ladies Derby at the Curragh. He wasn't beaten far in a premier handicap at Leopardstown that produced a couple of winners here earlier in the week and it's noteworthy that his shrewd trainer now goes back into maiden company with him. The well-bred Simpson's Paradox is rated 10lb higher than the selection and had a good run over C&D last year when third to a pair of Ballydoyle-trained colts. He didn't do much wrong when second at Killarney after a three-month layoff and looks sure to go close. Katola is a half-sister to three winners and it will be interesting to see how strong the Weld newcomer is in the market, while Bottler'secret made a promising debut at Limerick and has place claims.

SIMPSON'S PARADOX ran up to his best when runner-up to another low-mileage sort at Killarney 17 days ago and a repeat could well be enough to see Jessica Harrington's charge come out on top on this occasion. Katola is an interesting newcomer for Dermot Weld and she's feared along with Lord Vader. Spitfire Fighter is another debutant to monitor in the betting.

The selection is KATOLA, from a very good Aga Khan family and would not have to be a star to land this on debut

BOURGEOISIE confirmed the encouraging signs she showed on her racecourse bow when narrowly denied in second at Newbury and could go one better today with further progress expected. Zenjabeela is another with valid form claims after a promising debut third over this course and distance last month, while Seaward is a newcomer to note having cost 460,000 euros as a yearling and any market support should be noted.

There's a fair amount of depth to this novice with the well-bred filly UPSCALE selected to go one place better having shaped with plenty of promise over this C&D on debut a month ago. Bourgeoisie and Zenjabeela are obvious dangers on form, while all 4 newcomers, particularly Seaward, appeal on paper.

Those with experience set a useful standard and ZENJABEELA's debut experience here is unlikely to have been lost on her.

QUINTUS ARRIUS and Mountain Warrior (second) renew rivalry after they met at Hamilton in a fierce battle to the line, when the former held on to score by a neck. The selection is only 1lb worse off with the runner-up today and, with first-time blinkers a possible source of improvement, he can confirm his superiority, despite struggling in a hot race at York since. Hydration was a close-up third at Lingfield on his latest outing and looks the best of the remainder, as he goes off the same mark.

MOUNTAIN WARRIOR is going the right way and, while denied by Quintus Arrius last time, that rival has disappointed since, so he's a confident selection to get his head back in front. The lightly-raced Hydration is a danger and Thankuappreciate should give his running if he avoids a very slow start.

It may be worth chancing MERSEA who suggested she was worth another go at 6f when a running-on fourth at York eight days ago.

Pisanello, who beat the selection earlier in the season at Hamilton, arrives having won again at the same venue last time and is respected off 3lb higher, while the unexposed Tawafag may benefit from stepping back up to a mile.

PISANELLO is proving most consistent, doubling his tally for the season when defeating a subsequent winner at Hamilton 3 weeks ago and a 3 lb rise for that shouldn't prevent another bold showing from David O'Meara's charge. Low-mileage 3-y-o Tawafag back from a short break is feared, with the well-treated Challet and Clear Angel completing the shortlist.

Although CHALLET went back up 3lb for his recent York second, he remains well treated on his best form and can resume winning ways.

NEW BUSINESS raced keenly when attempting to make all at Sandown and faded into fourth, with Scholarship a couple of positions behind. The son of Sea The Stars has been dropped 1lb and is only having his fifth career run so if he can settle better, he ought to go close. Thunder Ball was a place behind Urban Sprawl when fourth in the Britannia at Royal Ascot but can reverse that form, with the latter having something to prove following an underwhelming Newmarket display subsequently.

A trappy contest which can go the way of CHARTWELL HOUSE, who found only a fellow 3-y-o too strong at Haydock 4 weeks ago and William Knight's charge can regain the winning thread reunited with Neil Callan. New Business couldn't find the expected improvement on his first foray into handicaps at Sandown last month, but his handler is in fine form so he could give the selection most to think about, ahead of Urban Sprawl.

The runner with the most potential could be NEW BUSINESS who had a possible excuse when only fourth at Sandown last month.

With just the two starts to his name, PORTLAND remains a relatively unexposed colt who has the potential to do better. A promising third on his debut at the Curragh in June, the son of Dubawi was somewhat disappointing when only beating one home at Tipperary next time. However, he was forced to make the running on that occasion and still looked very green. The Aidan O'Brien-trained juvenile holds a couple of decent entries, so is clearly expected to progress. Jakajaro ran out a very impressive winner on his handicap debut at the Curragh last month. Despite a subsequent 12lb rise, the David Marnane-trained colt should be a serious contender. Lia Fail needed every yard of this trip when winning at Down Royal on her latest start and she shouldn't be discounted in receipt of weight from her main rivals.

PORTLAND failed to improve on his promising debut at the Curragh when fourth at Tipperary, but he still looked green on that occasion and it's not hard to envisage him taking a considerable step forward now pitched into a handicap. Jakajaro did the job well at the Curragh a fortnight ago and is an obvious threat, despite being hit with a 12 lb rise. Lia Fail raised her game when scoring at Down Royal, but more will be needed again if she's to follow up here.

Preference is for impressive Curragh nursery winner JAKAJARO(nap), even with a 12lb penalty

The unexposed KENTUCKY BLUEGRASS did not appear to relish the step up to a mile at Pontefract last time but his previous form suggests that he could go well back at 7f here.

Hectic should be capable of going well off his current mark, while Out Of Shadows and Gulmarg complete the shortlist.

There should be more to come from the lightly-raced KIARAAD and he is taken to make a successful handicap bow. Kentucky Bluegrass and Hectic rate the principal dangers.

MILBANKE ran well when third in a class 4 event over 7f at Catterick last time and he was kindly dropped 1lb for that effort, which now puts him only 1lb higher than his last winning mark, so he ought to go very close. Bishop's Crown failed to justify favouritism when he was runner-up in maiden company at Leicester last time and he is respected now back in the handicap ranks, while last-time-out winner So Grateful holds an obvious chance despite a 4lb rise.

BISHOP'S CROWN has been running consistently well and was clear of the rest when second in a maiden over this distance at Leicester in July, so he's taken to open his account in first-time cheekpieces. Milbanke is considered the main danger and Burj Malinka should put a poor run at this course behind him.

Better must have been expected from BURJ MALINKA here last time and he is worth another chance now 2lb below his last winning mark.

ASTAPOR arrives in excellent form having won two of his last three starts, with his latest effort coming at Pontefract on Sunday, and it would be no surprise to see him back up again under a 5lb penalty. Ecclesiastical has been very consistent of late and is respected following his second at York last week, with Speedacus, who finished seventh in that contest, another that is capable of a decent showing.

LE BEAU GARCON has yet to add to his two wins as a 2-y-o, but he arrives on the back of a string of decent efforts in big-field handicaps and is appealing off a career-low mark with a visor enlisted. An on-song Speedacus would be a serious threat, while consistent duo Huddle Up and Ecclesiastical both need considering. Astapor is in good form, but this is tougher than the race he recently landed at Pontefract.

The handicapper has put ECCLESIASTICAL back up 3lb for a recent York near miss but it may not prevent this thriving 6yo going in again

Individualism is a half-brother to top stayers Subjectivist and Sir Ron Priestley, but displayed enough pace to bustle up a previous winner over this trip at Ayr. Devil's Point and Empire Of Art also showed enough on debut to warrant an interest, but Andrew Balding has won the last two renewals of this so a chance is taken on CELTIC WARRIOR, who cost 125,000gns and is preferred to stablemate Royal Supremacy. Stratocracy looks the pick from an interesting Richard Hannon team. Like Charlie Hills' newcomer Miletus, he has a Champagne Stakes entry.

INDIVIDUALISM shaped with loads of promise when runner-up on his debut at Ayr last month and would have arguably done even better had he been held onto for a bit longer (good headway to lead over 1f out), so he's fully expected to confirm that promise and get off the mark at the second time of asking. This does contain several interesting newcomers though, perhaps none more so than Stratocracy and Miletus, who both hold a Group 2 entry in the Champagne Stakes. Devil's Point is also feared.

The biggest form contenders are INDIVIDUALISM and Devil's Point. Several of the newcomers are interesting.

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

In a race where most of those favourably drawn are prominent racers, it could pay to take a chance on a closer in anticipation of a pace collapse. DAZZLING SPIRIT tends to be slowly away from stalls in her races before rattling home at the finish and while the Thomas Mullins-trained mare has found the post coming too soon of late, the way this race will likely be run could see her pick up the pieces late on. C&D winner Speckled Meadow falls into a similar category, tending to miss the break then finding her feet late on. Billy Lee rides Galway better than most and the mare shaped well when second at Leopardstown recently. Shawaamekh, who ran very well when second here last year, looks best of those drawn low. The Johnny Levins-trained nine-year-old will appreciate any rain that falls.

DRAGON OF MALTA is back on a good mark and is taken to build on last month's back-to-form third at Killarney. Secret Magician and Speckled Meadow, the mount of Billy Lee, will need things to drop right from their wide draws but shaped well last time and make the shortlist along with Conor O'Dwyer's Limerick scorer Lady Arwen.

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

Soul Seeker has to be respected following his win at York a week ago but a 4lb rise will make life tougher here. With that in mind, preference is for HAN SOLO BERGER, who was only beaten a nose over C&D last Saturday and is just 2lb higher in the ratings now. Straits Of Moyle edges out Thismydream to be the pick of the remainder.

STRAITS OF MOYLE has gone close both starts since joining Robert Cowell and is taken to make it third time lucky for the yard. It's likely that he will have most to fear from recent York winner Soul Seeker, though stablemate Han Solo Berger and Thismydream both need considering, too, on the back of near-misses.

The 4yo STRAITS OF MOYLE is back in the good books after two near misses for Robert Cowell and he might be the answer.

17:05 Doncaster Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Ey Up Its Jazz has been sent off favourite the last twice and he went a lot closer last time at Beverley when only denied by half a length, but he was put up 1lb for that display and the vote, instead, goes to ATOMISE. The daughter of Ardad has been dropped 1lb for his fifth at Carlisle and he looks to have slipped to an appealing mark. Spartan Fighter is another to consider after his fifth at Hamilton.

EY UP ITS JAZZ is a likeable type who got back on the up at Beverley 12 days ago and, with testing conditions predicted, he's a confident choice to resume winning ways in first-time cheekpieces. Streaky Bay is likely to return to form, so she's regarded as the main threat ahead of the well-treated Atomise.

Last year's winner ASMUND can go in again. He is 3lb higher than 12 months ago, but has dropped 1lb below his last winning mark.

EDGE OF DARKNESS got off the mark in a novice event over C&D in May when appearing to benefit from more positive tactics and the son of Australia appears to have been found a suitable opportunity on his return to handicap company. Bollin Margaret is turned out under a 5lb penalty after her success at Pontefract on Sunday and is likely to pose a solid threat. Others to note include Benadalid and Cosmic Soul.

BILLY NO MATES again shaped better than the bare result (caught further back than ideal) over shorter at Pontefract 6 days ago and, arriving here 1 lb below the mark off which he tasted success in this race 12 months ago, he could well be the answer. Glittering Choice and comfortable Pontefract scorer Bollin Margaret head up the dangers, with handicap debutant Easter Island one to note in the betting.

Last year's winner BILLY NO MATES (nap) returned to form when third at Pontefract last month and can add to his win 12 months ago.

17:20 Goodwood Handicap (Class 3) 9f Race Class Flow

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

A fairly open contest in which preference is for ONE STEP BEYOND. The six-year-old recorded his best turf run to date when registering a staying-on success over a mile at Ascot last month. He is now rated 6lb higher for that win, but that may not be enough to halt his progression with the step up in trip expected to suit. Mostawaa arrives seeking a four-timer and can give the selection plenty to think about, while Liberty Lane is another with claims.

ONE STEP BEYOND is firmly on the up and had something to spare at Ascot last time, so he's worth a chance to follow up for all that this is a more competitive environment. Mostawaa arrives on a four-timer and is likely to give another good account, while Dual Identity would be worthy of consideration if taking his chance (engaged here on Friday).

The removal of headgear could be a positive for GREATGADIAN and he's well handicapped on form as recent as April.

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

ONE COOL POET appeared to have lost his way somewhat before showing that the spark was still there when an eye-catching second at Leopardstown on his penultimate start. A three-time winner at the 2019 festival, the Matthew Smith-trained veteran has to be respected if turned out quickly following a scheduled engagement here on Friday night. Wild Dollar ran below par at the Curragh last time but had been threatening to get his head in front with a couple of promising runs prior to that. The Eddie and Patrick Harty-trained five-year-old has to prove his stamina but will be involved in the finish if the trip doesn't prove his downfall. Expound has a wide draw to overcome but should be competitive if Joey Sheridan can negotiate that obvious negative. However, the Denis Hogan-trained gelding may not want it to get too soft as his best form has come on a sounder surface.

MON COEUR left his previous Flat form in his wake when runner-up in a big-field handicap here on Wednesday (well clear of the rest) and his claims are fairly obvious from the same mark. Expound and Granville Street head the opposition.

Plenty of these in with claims with the tentative vote going to DARK NOTE who is only up 5lb for his win last time out

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

Hobson Point ran a good race on his first appearance for James Ferguson when second at Goodwood and a repeat of that effort would see him go close, but the nod still goes to ZABBIE. Richard Hannon's filly is on a sliding handicap mark and she has form this season that, should she replicate, would make her hard to beat, namely her narrow Goodwood defeat in May off a 4lb higher mark. Pinwheel heads the remainder.

ZABBIE ran well in a much deeper race than this at Newbury last time and, with a return to 7f likely to suit, she's taken to open her account for the season. Pinwheel is yet to win in this country but is well treated on the pick of her form and rates the main threat ahead of Hobson Point.

This can go to ZABBIE, who looked stretched by 1m last time and is well handicapped if judged on her 7f second on soft ground in May.

THE TWELVE PINS makes her reappearance here having been absent since just being denied in a bumper at last year's Festival. The form of that particular race has worked out well with a number of subsequent winners behind her. It has to be a major positive that the Willie Mullins-trained mare has previous experience of this track. Andrew Slattery has done very well with his small team of bumper horses in recent seasons so his Tramore runner-up Royal Hollow has to be given serious consideration. The five-year-old is entitled to improve from that initial racecourse outing so we could see a better mare now. Faux Fur has shown real consistency in just three starts to date so the Gordon Elliott-trained Wings Of Eagles filly should again make her presence felt.

THE TWELVE PINS hasn't been seen since making a promising debut at this track 12 months ago, but that's not really a concern given the yard she hails from and, with improvement on the cards, it entitles her to be seen as the one to beat. Faux Fur is improving by the run so warrants a good deal of respect, as does Royal Hollow, who shaped well on her debut at Tramore in June.

PINKY may offer a bit of value. She has solid form, Derek O'Connor rides and there's every chance of improvement second time out

18:00 Hamilton Handicap (Class 6) 9f Race Class Flow

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

TEMPER TRAP was able to exploit a sliding mark when recording a three-length success at Doncaster. Tim Easterby's six-year-old remains well treated, despite a subsequent 7lb rise, and he could prove difficult to beat in his quest to land this prize for a remarkable fourth year in a row. Star Of St James arrives following solid runs at Beverley and Carlisle and he's an obvious contender, while C&D winner Hot Team would need to be taken seriously if turned out quickly following Thursday's Newcastle fifth.

This can go to TEMPER TRAP, who returned to winning ways at Doncaster last time and remains nicely treated on old form. Star of St James and Hot Team look the likeliest dangers.

There's no temptation to see past TEMPER TRAP in his bid for a third consecutive win in this race.

18:15 Lingfield Maiden (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

AMBIENTE AMIGO made a very pleasing start to her career when running on well into second at Newmarket and if she is able to perform to that level again, she should take the beating. Squeaker was nearly three lengths behind her in fourth on that occasion but is likely to be the biggest danger, for all that she has to take a significant step forward to reverse the form. Windsor runner-up Duely Spiced is also respected.

AMBIENTE AMIGO was no match for a useful one on her Newmarket debut, but she still ran on nicely to finish second and this looks a good opportunity for her to go one better. Squeaker and Royal Expert can battle it out for minor honours.

Winning a maiden ought to be a formality for AMBIENTE AMIGO, who was a creditable second on her recent Newmarket debut.

18:30 Hamilton Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

A small but fairly competitive event, in which marginal preference is for SHINE ON BRENDAN. Jim Goldie's charge bumped into an in-form rival when finishing a good second in 0-85 company here and he looks capable of going one better down in class, and from an unchanged mark. Look Back Smiling escapes a penalty having won an apprentice handicap at Leicester on Wednesday and must be feared, along with Banner Road, who could find improvement for the addition of a first-time hood.

LOOK BACK SMILING resumed winning ways in clear-cut fashion at Leicester on Wednesday and wisely turned out quickly escaping a penalty, Gemma Tutty's 3-y-o is fancied to follow up. Shine On Brendan arrives in good form and he may well have to settle for silver again, with Innse Gall taken to fill out third spot.

With no penalty, LOOK BACK SMILING could well follow up his Leicester success. Shine On Brendan is second choice.

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

CITY OF YORK has the advantage of experience and this appears a nice opportunity for him to shed his maiden tag. David Simcock's charge unseated his rider at the start on his Wolverhampton reappearance, but he showed ability as a juvenile and has an obvious chance if things go to plan here. Sonnet Star has made an encouraging start to her career and is likely to pose the most questions, while Between The Covers completes the shortlist.

BETWEEN THE COVERS hails from a yard whose runners tend to improve markedly from first to second run, so she earns a tentative vote to do just that in a weak novice. City of York sets the standard on his all-weather form, with Sonnet Star also feared.

There are risks attached to CITY OF YORK but his 2yo AW form sets a clear standard in this modest event.

IMPRESSOR was perhaps unfortunate not to have brought up his hat-trick at Beverley earlier in the week, when short of room at a crucial stage having suffered interference at the start. Phillip Makin's six-year-old kept on to finish within a neck of the winner in third, and he holds leading claims from the same mark. Wen Moon remains relatively unexposed and should relish the forecast ground conditions, while Slainte Mhath heads the remainder.

IMPRESSOR didn't have things go his way at Beverley earlier in the week and can show he's still on a good mark. C&D specialist Slainte Mhath is feared most ahead of sole 3-y-o Wen Moon.

Despite a career-high mark, SLAINTE MHATH may be capable of enhancing her good C&D record. Ramon Di Loria is second choice.

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

MAJOR MAJOR returned from a gelding operation to finish third at Newmarket, which was by far his best performance to date, and the handicapper decided to drop him 1lb so he should go very close. Natacata only beat one home when fifth on her handicap bow at Pontefract but she needs considering off 2lb lower. Of the remainder, Lough Leane makes the most appeal after hitting the frame the last twice.

LOUGH LEANE was a shade disappointing at Ripon but he's very interesting on his reappearance third at Yarmouth so he's well worth another chance. Major Major should have more to offer and is a threat, along with Club Manager on handicap debut/return.

He is not yet proven on ground slower than good but MAJOR MAJOR is eased in grade after a good effort a fortnight ago and gets the nod.

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

TAJALLA raced keenly on his first attempt at 6f in a valuable handicap at Newmarket's July Festival and the return to the minimum distance is likely to suit Roger Varian's colt, who filled the runner-up berth in Listed company at Sandown the time before. Elegant Erin produced her best effort of the season when runner-up to the admirable Copper Knight at Pontefract and left the impression she would be winning sooner rather than later. Spoof, who went close at Windsor last week, and Prince Of Pillo appeal most of the remainder.

A useful sprint. ELEGANT ERIN looks ready to win again and is narrowly preferred to Spoof. Tajalla had an excuse on his Newmarket handicap debut last month and can also play a prominent role.

Newmarket raiders TAJALLA and Proverb are interesting back at 5f and stand out in this field.

Big Bard just did enough in soft ground at Nottingham and he is likely to be on the premises once more if taking his chance after an engagement at Bath on Friday. However, preference is for FIRENZE ROSA, who was caught in the shadows of the post over 5f at Salisbury and has been raised just 1lb so is taken to go one place better. I'm Mable has finished fourth at Bath twice since a Brighton triumph and could also get involved.

LILKIAN performed with credit in a better race than this at Newmarket a week ago and on that evidence, is capable of cashing in on his lower turf mark. Big Bard is in excellent form and is an obvious danger if taking up this engagement, with I'm Mable another to consider.

The vote goes to five-time sprint winner FIRENZE ROSA, who had a near miss at Salisbury last Saturday and is only 1lb higher here.

Two Auld Pals arrives in excellent form having won twice in June before filling the runner-up spot on his two subsequent efforts. He commands the utmost respect, but a chance is taken on FORZA ORTA. Kevin Ryan's gelding was running in some competitive handicaps earlier this season and an ease in grade might give him the opportunity to bounce back. Ravenscraig Castle hasn't won since July 2021 but he has been knocking firmly on the door, finishing second on his last three starts, and he completes the shortlist.

TWO AULD PALS bumped into a well-treated one at Ayr last time and can show he's still on a good mark, perhaps at the main expense of the class-dropping Forza Orta.

Two Auld Pals is proving consistent and has solid claims, but preference is for FORZA ORTA who takes a significant drop in class.

DARK COMPANY has switched to the Mark Loughnane yard since he struck in a selling handicap over C&D by an easy five lengths and considering the manner of that victory, he could be hard to stop off 5lb higher for new connections. Rita Rana can give him the most to think about after her runner-up effort at Bath in a first-time hood, although Cheers Babe warrants a market check on her handicap bow.

TRADESMAN got back on track in minor company a fortnight ago and on that evidence, he's capable of cashing in on this lowly mark. Dark Company won over C&D 10 days ago and is a threat if in the same mood for his new connections. Rita Rana is another to consider.

Provided he remains in good form for his new stable, DARK COMPANY (nap) has a strong chance. Rita Rana is second choice.

JAMINOZ has improved for stepping up in trip and went close to getting his head back in front when beaten a nose over C&D on his latest start. This appears to be a decent opportunity for Jim Goldie's four-year-old to go one better, especially with most of his rivals having something to prove. Spanish Hustle has to enter calculations once again, while Lincoln Rockstar completes the shortlist.

SPANISH HUSTLE is thriving and looks good for a third C&D win of the summer. His stablemate Jaminoz can give him most to do ahead of Lincoln Rockstar.

Spanish Hustle is reliable but JAMINOZ (nap) gets the vote, with his proven ability to handle testing ground the deciding factor.

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.
