Breguet Boy

13/2(+28%)
(9) Breguet Boy 13/2, 17/2 and blinkered for 1st time, below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Redcar (10f, heavy) 3 days ago. Needs to bounce back.
Blinkers didn't make much difference last time; stamina would be a concern on the ground.

Ship To Shore

11/2(-10%)
(2) Ship To Shore 11/2, Winner at Southwell in June. Creditable fourth of 7 in handicap (7/2) at Southwell (16.5f) 13 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. In the mix.
Back in form on Tapeta last time; stays further and his claims are obvious.

3rd (5) Cherryhawk (11/8 +8%)
Cherryhawk

11/8(+8%)
(5) Cherryhawk 11/8, Yet to score but she is knocking on the door, second of 11 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 7 days ago, running on. Another bold showing is on the cards off the same mark.
Two solid efforts on soft ground lately and she'll rightly be popular under Simon Walker.

Fair Dinkum

7/1(+7%)
(3) Fair Dinkum 7/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, creditable sixth of 10 in handicap (10/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 14 days ago, needing stiffer test. Needs considering.
On fair mark now and his pedigree gives hope that this ground will be alright; considered.
5th
5th (4) Parikarma (16/1 -191%)
Parikarma

16/1(-191%)
(4) Parikarma 16/1, 15/8, creditable second of 5 in novice hurdle at Taunton (16.5f, soft) 179 days ago. Off 179 days. Not discounted back on the Flat.
Three Flat wins all came in October and she has her ground; is one to consider.
6th

Das Kapital

11/2(+31%)
(10) Das Kapital 11/2, Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. Below form fourth of 8 in handicap at Newbury (12f, good to soft, 13/2) 88 days ago. Unreliable sort.
These are his conditions and his two wins came fresh; one of the more interesting runners.
7th
7th (1) Longuerue (50/1 +0%)
Longuerue

50/1(+0%)
(1) Longuerue 50/1, Winner at Nottingham in May. 50/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (12f, good to firm) 59 days ago. Has work to do.
Struggled badly since a successful debut for this yard in the spring; has it to prove.

Al Kherb

(11) Al Kherb 100/1, 80/1, sole run for Sarah Bowen when eighth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Bangor (16.7f, good) 63 days ago.
Two poor runs since back from over a year off; hard to know how much ability he retains.
9th

Scotch Mist

14/1(+13%)
(8) Scotch Mist 14/1, 11/1, only sixth of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (16f, heavy) 19 days ago. Back down in trip. Blinkers on 1st time.
Has regressed since handicapping; tried in first-time headgear as she comes down in trip.
|U|
|U| (12) Crossbeau (25/1 +0%)
Crossbeau

25/1(+0%)
(12) Crossbeau 25/1, 11/2, first run since leaving Ian McInnes when respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 16 days ago. Possibilities.
Inclined to pull hard when below market expectations last time and needs to settle better.
10th
10th (7) Triple Nickle (50/1 -150%)
Triple Nickle

50/1(-150%)
(7) Triple Nickle 50/1, Course winner. Creditable third of 4 in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good to soft), needing stronger gallop. Off 13 months with her fitness to prove.
Course winner who's fine on soft ground; might need this after more than a year off.
LTO Selection:

13:25 Windsor Handicap (Class 6) 11f Race Class Flow

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

CHERRYHAWK was only denied by half a length over C&D last week and she is able to compete off the same rating here. The daughter of Hawkbill has top amateur Simon Wailker booked and she can go one better. Ship To Shore stays a lot further than this and his stamina could aid his cause in testing conditions, so he has to be considered. Scotch Mist sports first-time blinkers and she completes the shortlist.

CHERRYHAWK can race off the same mark as when a very good recent C&D second so is fancied to gain a deserved breakthrough success at the chief expense of Fair Dinkum, who should find this stiffer stamina test under these conditions to his benefit. Ship To Shore appeals as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

Ship To Shore and Cherryhawk should go well but everything looks in place for DAS KAPITAL on his favoured ground.

1st (1) Solar Aclaim (2/9 +33%)
Solar Aclaim

2/9(+33%)
(1) Solar Aclaim 2/9, Promising sort. Winner at Salisbury in September. 3/1, very good second of 9 in minor event there (6f, heavy) 18 days ago. Can progress further and looks the one to beat.
6f winner on debut & better form when second back at Salisbury latest; sets clear standard.

Mrs Thrump

9/2(-29%)
(2) Mrs Thrump 9/2, 25/1, fifth of 9 in minor event at Salisbury (6f, heavy) on debut 18 days ago, not knocked about. Open to improvement.
Over 5l behind Solar Aclaim on her debut but shaped nicely all the same; more to come.

Nibbled in betting before recent Wolverhampton debut & hinted at ability; can do better.

4th (5) Pearl Of Rowdown (28/1 -75%)
Pearl Of Rowdown

28/1(-75%)
(5) Pearl Of Rowdown 28/1, Ninth of 12 in maiden at Kempton (6f, 150/1) on debut 40 days ago. Significantly more is required.
Last month's Kempton debut (6f) wasn't without hope but big step forward required.
LTO Selection:

13:55 Windsor Stakes (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

SOLAR ACLAIM (second) had Mrs Thrump (fifth) behind when runner-up in a conditions event at Salisbury last time and that form reads very well in the context of this race. The son of Aclaim should have more to come and could prove tough to beat. As for the latter, that was her debut and she is likely to take a step forward from that display. Cremone is the pick of the remainder.

SOLAR ACLAIM holds the clear edge on form and with further progress very much on the cards he gets a confident vote to quickly resume winning ways. Mrs Thrump and Cremone appeal as much the pick of the remaining quartet and can chase home Roger Teal's promising son of Aclaim in that order.

Solar Aclaim sets a clear standard but MRS THRUMP could have learned a lot from her debut and may reverse the placings this time.

1
1st (4) Western Soldier (4/5 +36%)
Western Soldier

4/5(+36%)
(4) Western Soldier 4/5, Useful on the Flat in Germany, winning 5 on the bounce towards the end of last year. Failed to transfer that level of form to hurdles at the first attempt at Sedgefield (16.8f, good to soft) recently, but still went close and ought to improve.
Useful Flat performer in Germany and he went close on recent hurdling debut; big player.
2
2nd (9) Flidais (3/1 +54%)
Flidais

3/1(+54%)
(9) Flidais 3/1, Landed a Kilbeggan maiden hurdle (18.3f, good to soft) in June. Has failed to build on that since, but this Irish raider is respected nonetheless.
Easy win at Kilbeggan (2m2f) in June but she's not come close to that level since.

3rd (8) Eliza Dolittle (66/1 -32%)
Eliza Dolittle

66/1(-32%)
(8) Eliza Dolittle 66/1, Bred to be better at longer trips over jumps and hasn't shown much in 4 starts so far, most recently well held on first completed start over hurdles in a C&D maiden 6 months ago.
Some ability in bumpers but no joy in two hurdle runs and is best watched on return.

4th (5) Berlais Du George (16/1 +76%)
Berlais Du George

16/1(+76%)
(5) Berlais Du George 16/1, Safely held starting out in a Kempton bumper in February and similar scenario anticipated now switched to hurdles.
In rear at a big price in his sole bumper and is best watched on hurdling debut.
5th
5th (7) Sangiovese (9/2 -64%)
Sangiovese

9/2(-64%)
(7) Sangiovese 9/2, Half-brother to Abingworth, a fair hurdler for these connections, and finished a clear second to an odds-on shot in a Newton Abbot (16.8f, good) bumper on debut in July. Should make his presence felt if handling conditions now switched to hurdles.
Showed promise in a bumper in July and he's out of a five-time hurdle winner; interesting.

6th (6) Good Lord (25/1 +50%)
Good Lord

(6) Good Lord 25/1, Fair winner over 11f from 3 starts on Flat in Germany. Subsequently sold out of Marcel Weiss yard for €19,000 and failed to beat a rival on hurdles debut at Ludlow in January.
Flat winner in Germany but he made a low-key start over hurdles at Ludlow in January.
7th
7th (1) Crookbarrow (250/1 -150%)
Crookbarrow

250/1(-150%)
(1) Crookbarrow 250/1, Well held sole start in bumpers and subsequently pulled up at big prices in maiden/novice hurdles at Fontwell. Now tried in cheekpieces.
Pulled up in both his hurdle runs (2m5f/2m3f) and can only be watched.
8th
8th (10) Tooting (14/1 +30%)
Tooting

14/1(+30%)
(10) Tooting 14/1, Shantaram filly out of a 2¾m hurdle winner, herself a half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (19f-3m winner) Mill Quest. Watch the betting for clues.
Out of 2m5f/2m6f hurdle winner; stablemate of Time Theft and market should guide on debut.
LTO Selection:

14:15 Plumpton Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

WESTERN SOLDIER was Group 3-placed when trained on the Flat in Germany, and he posted an excellent third on his hurdles debut 12 days ago. Natural improvement might be enough to see Milton Harris' charge strike, while Flidais, who sets the standard on official ratings, might be the main danger. Sangiovese hit the woodwork on his sole bumper start and must be of interest now sent over timber.

WESTERN SOLDIER, a useful performer on the Flat in Germany, was a close third on his recent hurdles debut at Sedgefield and, with the promise of better to come, he is taken to strike. If Sangiovese takes to hurdles at the first attempt and handles the likely testing conditions, he could be the one to emerge as the main danger. Irish challenger Flidais also enters calculations, while Onewayortother remains of interest but there's a suspicion that he'll need better ground.

Top of the list is the useful Flat performer WESTERN SOLDIER, who went close on his recent hurdling debut at Sedgefield.

Hakuna Babe

3/1(+0%)
(8) Hakuna Babe 3/1, 3/1, decent third of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy) 27 days ago, faring best of those held up. Clearly handles plenty of cut in the ground and she's one for the shortlist.
Still to win but doesn't look to do a lot wrong and is proven under these conditions.

2nd (4) Monteria (5/1 +23%)
Monteria

5/1(+23%)
(4) Monteria 5/1, C&D winner. 16/1, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Salisbury (9.9f, heavy) 18 days ago, well positioned. 2 lb rise fair enough and should make his presence felt.
Two 1m2f soft-ground wins to his name, including over C&D; is one to consider.
3
3rd (3) Classic Times (11/2 -57%)
Classic Times

11/2(-57%)
(3) Classic Times 11/2, Lightly-raced winner. Successful at Sandown in September. Fourth of 5 in handicap (11/4) at Hamilton (8.3f, soft) 21 days ago. Up in trip and while she needs to find some improvement, you could hardly label her as exposed.
Found out by an 11lb rise last time; today's longer trip isn't certain to suit on pedigree.
4
4th (5) Miller Spirit (3/1 +10%)
Miller Spirit

3/1(+10%)
(5) Miller Spirit 3/1, Winner at Sandown in September. Last of 5 in handicap at Haydock (14f, soft, 9/2) 24 days ago, unsuited by step up in trip. Now tried in a visor and, back down in trip with conditions to suit, he needs considering.
Didn't see out 1m6f under a penalty last time and should do better switched to a visor.
5th
5th (9) Orange Martini (5/1 +58%)
Orange Martini

5/1(+58%)
(9) Orange Martini 5/1, 7/1, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, soft) 21 days ago. May well come on for that run (was returning from a 4-month break) and not without each-way hope.
Lightly raced and hasn't had the breaks since handicapping this season; should go well.
6th
6th (6) Kotari (40/1 -21%)
Kotari

40/1(-21%)
(6) Kotari 40/1, Second of 7 in minor event at Nimes (9.4f, good) on final start for Jean-Claude Rouget last November. Will need to improve in order to make a winning handicap debut for new connections and conditions are a worry (well held sole start on soft; unraced on heavy).
Ex-French maiden; worth tracking in the market but Miller Spirit looks yard's best chance.
7th
7th (10) Ellexis (18/1 -100%)
Ellexis

18/1(-100%)
(10) Ellexis 18/1, Very good second of 12 in handicap (33/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 18 days ago. That represented a firm step back in the right direction and she's one to be interested in, albeit stepping into the unknown conditions-wise here (untried on ground slower than good).
Better up from 7f to 1m2f latest; best to date on the AW and conditions are an unknown.
8th
8th (2) Arcadian Nights (28/1 -75%)
Arcadian Nights

28/1(-75%)
(2) Arcadian Nights 28/1, Eight wins from 31 Flat runs. 3 wins from 8 runs this year. Seventh of 11 in handicap (12/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 46 days ago. Not sure that ground this slow will be in his favour.
11lb higher than when last successful on grass; nothing to suggest he wants this ground.
9th
9th (7) Pride Of Nepal (80/1 -220%)
Pride Of Nepal

80/1(-220%)
(7) Pride Of Nepal 80/1, C&D winner. 6/1 and blinkered for 1st time, eighth of 10 in handicap at this course (11.4f, good to firm). Off 154 days and cheekpieces back on. Best turf form has come on faster ground and he's opposable.
Said to have been unsuited by heavy ground here as a 3yo; conditions the obvious concern.
10th
10th (1) Deja (18/1 -29%)
Deja

18/1(-29%)
(1) Deja 18/1, 40/1, last of 21 in handicap at Doncaster (11.9f, heavy) when last seen 11 months ago. Has dropped a long way in the weights (latest win gained off 18 lb higher back in July 2020) and he relishes testing conditions, so dangerous to discount now eased in class, for all that he a fair bit to prove.
More than three years since he ran well and it's hard to know what he's capable of now.
LTO Selection:

14:25 Windsor Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Monteria just managed to get up at Salisbury over this trip on his latest outing and has to be respected off only a 2lb higher rating. However, preference is for HAKUNA BABE, who was third at Nottingham last month and she could prove to be a cut above her rivals at this level off the same mark. Classic Times also takes a drop in grade and is next best.

A deserved first taste of success could be on the cards for HAKUNA BABE, who hasn't done much since switched to handicaps, including when third off the mark at Nottingham last month. She is taken to strike with the in-form Hollie Doyle doing the steering. The step up to 1¾m was a bridge too far for Miller Spirit last time and he is strongly respected back down in trip. Ellexis should be winning soon if building on her back-to-form second at Chelmsford, but she is unproven on slow ground.

Concerns over a few of these and MILLER SPIRIT makes most appeal on his Sandown beating of a progressive sort off 4lb lower last month.

Kadex

16/5(+29%)
(1) Kadex 16/5, Won twice over hurdles in France but only one real effort of note in that sphere for present stable last term. Easy to back and ultimately failed to stop the slide on return/chase debut at Warwick (20f) 4 weeks ago and needs to leave that well behind to figure here.
Pulled up in final two runs last season and was tailed off on his chase debut last month.

Disappointing last time but that was after two wins and she could resume her progress here.
3
3rd (4) Redbridge Rosie (2/1 +33%)
Redbridge Rosie

2/1(+33%)
(4) Redbridge Rosie 2/1, Maiden who proved disappointing in handful of starts last season but showed benefit of reappearance run when second of 14 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (23.3f, soft) 5 weeks ago, no match for a less exposed sort. Not out of things if she can build on that returned to chasing.
Good second of 14 over hurdles at Uttoxeter latest and she has claims back over fences.
4
4th (2) Highland Sting (10/1 -233%)
Highland Sting

10/1(-233%)
(2) Highland Sting 10/1, Irish raider who is a long-standing maiden over hurdles/fences and, despite attracting support, he produced another disappointing display when well held fourth over fences at Sligo (25.8f) 26 days ago. Interesting if support comes for him again here.
23-race maiden who made it 0-8 over fences when tailed off at Sligo last month; opposable.
LTO Selection:

14:45 Plumpton Handicap Chase (Class 5) 26f Race Class Flow

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

With conditions likely to be testing, it might pay to side with KADEX. A winner on heavy ground when trained in France, he ran well for a long way when sent over fences at Warwick last month. The step up in trip could unlock some improvement and a subsequent 4lb ease in the handicap ought to further aid his chance. Ya Know Yaseff was unable to complete his hat-trick last time but should be thereabouts along with Highland Sting.

A dual winner over fences last month, YA KNOW YASEFF possibly found a third run in quick succession catching up with her thereafter and, back from a 5-week break, she may well be up to resuming winning ways. Redbridge Rosie rates next best.

6yo YA KNOW YASEFF didn't fire in her hat-trick bid last time but that may have come too soon and she could resume her progress here.

Won the Dash at Epsom off just 1lb higher; less good since and the ground is a query.
LTO Selection:

14:55 Windsor Handicap (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Two of SPOOF's wins this season have come on heavy ground, including last time out at Nottingham, and this looks like a perfect opportunity to double up off a mere 3lb higher mark. The eight-year-old has run off much higher ratings in the past and he is preferred to Korker, who drops in class having finished runner-up in Listed company at Ascot. Woolhampton has been knocking on the door of late and cannot be ruled out either.

A few with chances but KORKER looks on a good mark reverted to handicaps on the back of a good Ascot listed second so edges the vote. Chipstead came home fifth in that race and merits consideration too along with 3-time C&D winner Spoof and the consistent Navello.

Spoof should be in the thick of it but KORKER might have the class to defy top weight.

0-12 but he looks on a workable mark and could go well on this drop back in trip.

4th (1) Star Legend (7/1 -75%)
Star Legend

7/1(-75%)
(1) Star Legend 7/1, Fair on the Flat for William Haggas and stepped up on low-key handicap debut in this sphere when third of 9 at Southwell (15.8f, good to firm) last month. Failed to build on that with cheekpieces enlisted next time (discarded here) and hood now refitted. Yard also saddles King Otis.

Unexposed handicap newcomer but he needs major improvement after seven months off.

|PU| (5) Deal Em High (12/1 -85%)
Deal Em High

Needs to find more back from a short break and his best form has come on good ground.
|PU|
|PU| (4) Hobsons Bay (16/1 -300%)
Hobsons Bay

16/1(-300%)
(4) Hobsons Bay 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden on the level and has offered little in 3 starts over hurdles to date. On the upside, he makes his handicap debut in this sphere on a lowly mark and is fitted with a visor here (went close sole start in this headgear on the Flat last year).
Unexposed in this sphere but he needs a transformation on his handicap hurdle debut.
LTO Selection:

15:15 Plumpton Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

DEAL EM HIGH posted a creditable fourth at Stratford in August and Debra Hamer's unexposed hurdler, who had shown signs of ability in maiden company previously, receives a tentative vote off 2lb lower. Embolden arrives in decent form and he is unlikely to be far away, while Star Legend should not be underestimated with Harry Cobden taking over in the plate.

None of these look especially solid and EMBOLDEN is the obvious place to turn on the back of a good effort at Uttoxeter a couple of weeks ago. He's slipped below the mark off which he opened his hurdles account here during the spring and conditions won't be an issue for this 6-y-o. King Otis will be of interest starting out for James Owen if the market vibes are upbeat, while Deal Em High also enters calculations. Hobsons Bay is also worth a second look on his handicap debut in this sphere.

The vote goes to EMBOLDEN, who is 3lb lower than for his course win in the spring and was a creditable third at Uttoxeter 15 days ago.

Limited maiden (6f-1m2f) who struggled in early summer; hard to fancy back from a break.
LTO Selection:

15:25 Windsor Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Turned out again quickly after a taking success at Yarmouth last week, BUSH ROSE must hold every chance of following up despite a 6lb penalty. Conditions are in her favour once again and she may have too much for the likes of the recent course-winner Assembled and Jimmy Mark, who wasn't beaten far at Lingfield last time out and that followed a determined success at Bath.

ASSEMBLED got back to winning ways here a week ago and rates the pick of these weights saddling just a 4 lb penalty so looks the way to go again. Jimmy Mark didn't enjoy the rub of the green when fourth at Lingfield last time and rates a big threat however with both Bush Rose and Lhebayeb not discounted either in an open handicap.

Last Monday's winner BUSH ROSE is fanced to follow up at the main expense of Assembled. Watch Superluminal in the market.

Makes stable/handicap debut after 588-day absence; market likely to point the way.
LTO Selection:

15:35 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

The Caltonian has to be respected following his impressive victory at Newcastle last week, but he is not the most consistent and carries a 5lb penalty. With that in mind, preference is for CATESBY, who accounted for a subsequent winner at Southwell recently and a 4lb rise for that success appears to be fair. Others to note are Galileo Glass and Sir Titan.

If THE CALTONIAN is in the same form as at Newcastle last week he'll be hard to beat. The well-treated Coaxing revived back on AW last time and is second choice ahead of Galileo Glass, the mount of Oisin Murphy, and Tim Easterby's Gracelands Girl.

The pick is COAXING, who shaped as though back in form when keeping on over 6f a fortnight ago and now returns to her optimum trip.

Impressed on chasing debut last October but seems to have lost his way.
LTO Selection:

15:45 Plumpton Handicap Chase (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

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

SACRE COEUR went in by two lengths last time at Fontwell and that was in a class 2 event. The daughter of Montmartre was only put up 3lb for that and she could prove hard to beat. In The Air struck over the smaller obstacles when last seen in May and has to be of interest on his chase debut, while Lord Baddesley makes his return to the fray and is another to note.

SACRE COEUR looked a different mare for a switch to front-running tactics back chasing last time and a 3 lb rise may not stop her. Chris Gordon won this race last year and his Lord Baddesley, who has gone well fresh before, is second choice ahead of Gary Moore chase newcomer In The Air.

After an encouraging reappearance run at Fontwell last month, FAIRWAY FREDDIE is selected to enhance his very good Plumpton record.

LTO Selection:

15:55 Windsor Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

A consistent performer of late, this can go the way of ROUNDABOUT SILVER, who was second off this mark at Bath last time. He gets the vote ahead of the recent Sandown runner-up Kynsa and Darvel, who put in a solid effort at Bath earlier in the month. Others to note in an open event include Astronomica, Dubai Dreamer and Equion.

Though DARVEL isn't the most reliable, he is appealing on the back of a solid effort at Bath where he found only an upwardly mobile rival too strong. The 5-y-o is taken to go one better here, perhaps at the chief expense of the consistent Roundabout Silver, who also hit the crossbar on that same card as the selection at Bath 3 weeks ago. Kynsa and Astronomica both arrive in good heart, too, while Dubai Dreamer is also accorded respect.

Kynsa and Roundabout Silver are shortlisted but the progressive ASTRONOMICA (nap) gets the nod back on her favoured ground.

Down the field in a couple of novice events.
LTO Selection:

16:05 Wolverhampton Maiden (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

BATTLE QUEEN displayed plenty of promise when filling third place on her debut at Southwell a couple of weeks ago and the daughter of Churchill could be hard to beat with the benefit of that experience. Secret World has a similar profile to the selection and she has to be of interest, while Dark Sun is another with valid form claims. Jeanne D'arc is a half-sister to the Listed winner Agrotera and is a newcomer to note.

BATTLE QUEEN isn't ideally drawn in stall 12 but she shaped with encouragement amidst inexperience when third on her recent debut at Southwell and should last longer this time, so receives the vote. Dark Sun seems sure to build on her opening effort at Haydock and rates a big threat, with newcomer Jeanne d'Arc also of interest.

Several have possibilities in an open-looking maiden. Marginal preference is for SECRET WORLD, ahead of Battle Queen.

Battled well to win at Fontwell in June but looks vulnerable in this stronger race.
LTO Selection:

16:15 Plumpton Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

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

UGGY UGGY UGGY was a comfortable eight-length victor on his latest outing at Warwick and, considering the manner of that victory, he could be very difficult to beat even off a 10lb higher rating. The main danger is Tara Iti after his success at Fontwell over an extended 2m1f, as he only has a 3lb rise to contend with. Of the remainder, Tapley makes the most appeal.

This looks wide open but the form of UGGY UGGY UGGY's recent Warwick success is working out so this strong-traveller is taken to bag a third hurdling success and defy a career-high mark. C&D winner Tapley heads the list of dangers on the back of his encouraging Fontwell return, although Arqoob, Small Bad Bob, Tara Iti and Toothless all need factoring in too.

After chasing home an improver on his recent stable debut, SMALL BAD BOB (nap) remains very well handicapped on older form.

Prominent-racer who has lost his way in last four runs and needs to turn things around.
LTO Selection:

16:25 Windsor Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

It's been a while since ESPRESSO FREDDO last tasted success, but he's plummeted in the ratings as a consequence. The son of Fast Company has shown signs of a revival recently, and it would be no surprise were he to bounce back eased a further 3lb in the handicap. Andromedas Kingdom remains unexposed over the mile, having won a classified event at Beverley last month, and she is noted along with Tranquillity.

It's hard to look beyond ANDROMEDAS KINGDOM, who belatedly opened her account in a classified race at Beverley last month and is on a good mark returned to handicap company. Tranquillity and Instinct can fill the places.

The one that stands out is Mick Appleby's ANDROMEDAS KINGDOM, who came good with a clearcut win in the mud at Beverley last month.

LTO Selection:

16:35 Wolverhampton Maiden (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

GAMEKEEPER got going too late when finishing well to fill third place on his racecourse bow at York 10 days ago and it would be no surprise to see him get off the mark here. Monfrid is out of a mare who was Group 3 placed over 7f and the 140,000gns purchase has to be of some interest on his debut. The Cutest and On Song are other noteworthy newcomers.

The well-bred GAMEKEEPER made a very promising start at York recently and seems sure to do better so is hard to oppose. Newcomers Monfrid and On Song are interesting, while Give It Up has a good chance on the form of his Newmarket second behind the Dewhurst third Eben Shaddad.

Give It Up is feared but GAMEKEEPER entered many notebooks after the way he finished his race off at York ten days ago.

Well treated on his C&D win (soft) in January but he's not come close to that form since.
LTO Selection:

16:45 Plumpton Handicap Chase (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Ideallko won well at Ffos Las eight days ago and, with the longer trip of little concern, he appeals strongly under a 7lb penalty. Jack Doyen is also respected after an improved effort in cheekpieces (discarded today) at Warwick when last seen. However, GAMBIE TIEP edges the vote with his stamina and match fitness proven, and a 5lb higher mark for his Bangor success might not be enough to stop him.

None of these can be ruled out but the lightly-raced IDEALLKO rates the pick of the weights under a 7 lb penalty for his breakthrough Ffos Las success and with better still to come he gets the vote. Gambie Tiep also has better days ahead of him and rates a massive danger though, with King of The Story and Jack Doyen both firmly in the picture too in an intriguing handicap chase.

A competitive race in which GAMBIE TIEP gets the vote ahead of the other last-time-out winners in Ideallko and Jack Doyen.

Enjoying a good season; half-sister to two soft-ground winners, which gives hope.
LTO Selection:

17:00 Windsor Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

TILT AT WINDMILLS struck on heavy ground at Bath five days ago and she appeals as the one to beat under a 6lb penalty, provided this quick turnaround isn't an inconvenience. Recent Lingfield scorer Magical Dragon ought to go well back on the grass, along with Oh So Audacious, who has been in good nick and would hold every chance if handling forecast conditions.

TILT AT WINDMILLS got the job done at the ninth time of asking at Bath last week and, with similar conditions expected here, she looks capable of defying a penalty. Oh So Audacious has won two of her last three starts, one of which was registered over this C&D in July and she is high on the shortlist, for all that she's untried on ground this slow. Magical Dragon, who narrowly prevailed at Lingfield, is also worthy of consideration.

Conditions are an unknown with OH SO AUDACIOUS but her pedigree gives hope and she's preferred to Tilt At Windmills.

Yet to win but bits and pieces of 6f form on Polytrack/Tapeta; better for recent run.
LTO Selection:

17:10 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

HE'S AN ANGEL represents a yard which enjoyed a trio of winners on Saturday afternoon, including Art Power in the Group 1 Champions Sprint at Ascot. Tim Easterby's three-year-old is likely to get his head in front sooner rather than later judged on a pair of second-placed efforts recently at Newcastle and then Musselburgh. He can get the better of Chelmsford winner Endless Season and C&D scorer Billian.

HE'S AN ANGEL's tendency to miss the break doesn't make him one for maximum faith but there should be a race like this in him. Recent Chelmsford scorer Endless Season can give him most to do ahead of Time Patrol.

He's An Angel can be dangerous but TIME PATROL, winner of his handicap debut and open to improvement on the AW, may prove the pick.

Tailed off in her three hurdle runs (2m-2m7f) and needs a transformation on handicap debut.
LTO Selection:

17:15 Plumpton Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 25f Race Class Flow

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

Unexposed at the trip, SHEWEARSTHEWELLIES showed the benefit of a wind operation when she landed a similar contest at Fontwell last month, and she has a live chance of going in again off just 5lb higher. Baby Sham is an appealing alternative based on her peak form and may find improvement having also undergone wind surgery since her latest start. Stamina Chope is suggested as the pick of the remainder.

Perhaps SHEWEARSTHEWELLIES can make light of a 5 lb rise for Fontwell. Stamina Chope rates an obvious threat on the back of two runner-up efforts at Worcester. Well Paid Soldier and Princess Priya are potential improvers in handicaps and needs monitoring in the betting.

The vote goes to SHEWEARSTHEWELLIES who won on her handicap debut at Fontwell and is open to more progress on her step up to this trip.

LTO Selection:

17:40 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

SHOW COMPASSION looks the obvious place to start given she won well over this track and trip in July and has performed with plenty of credit in defeat in each of her four subsequent all-weather starts. It didn't happen for her on the turf at Catterick but she's a reliable performer on synthetics and makes more appeal than Bungle Bay, who is 2-4 over C&D. Keep an eye on You Are Everything too.

SHOW COMPASSION continues in good heart and makes most appeal in a race that shouldn't take much winning. Noble Captain and You Are Everything are also firmly in the mix.

Noble Captain should be in the thick of it but YOU ARE EVERYTHING is taken to build on the promise of her latest Bath third.

Seemed to show more when third on his reappearance but that form far from convincing.
LTO Selection:

18:10 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

CANARIA PRINCE has spent the majority of his career running on turf, winning three times in that sphere, but he displayed a really good attitude to score on just his second all-weather start at Southwell recently and could kick on now racing on synthetics. Zing Up makes plenty of appeal too, as she won at Lingfield two starts ago before finishing behind the selection last time. Ali Jewels is noted as well.

Tim Easterby could hold the key to this race, with his representatives CANARIA PRINCE and Lola's Moment taken to fight out the finish. The latter is 0-16 but she's a big player judged on her C&D effort two starts back, but Canaria Prince is marginally preferred on the back of his recent Southwell success and is unexposed on synthetics. C&D winners Admirable Lad and Nellie French both failed to fire last time but will be each-way players if on-song.

The recent wins of ZING UP and Henery Hawk have both been well advertised since and they can fight this out.

LTO Selection:

18:40 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 9f Race Class Flow

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

YEOMAN was able to maintain his unbeaten C&D record when notching up a narrow success last time, and James Fanshawe's progressive three-year-old might be the answer from just a 1lb raised mark. Cabinet Of Clowns continues to knock on the door and he is unlikely to be far away, while others to note include King's Code, Monte Linas and Soowaih.

A good handicap but SOOWAIH looks very much one that can prove better than this level and gets the vote over fellow 3-y-o Yeoman, who is defending an unbeaten C&D record (made it 3-3 here 7 weeks ago). Deceiver and On A Session are also considered.

The vote goes to CABINET OF CLOWNS who just lost out in a Racing League contest at Southwell last month and remains unexposed on AW.

(3) Louisiana Bay 18/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, first run since leaving Patrick Leech when sixth of 7 in maiden at Leicester (10f, good to soft) 28 days ago, not knocked about. Likely improver now handicapping and one to note in the betting.

Casa Luna

17/2(+6%)
(10) Casa Luna 17/2, Creditable second of 11 in handicap (5/1) at this C&D 16 days ago. Each-way chance if able to back that up.
0-14, but has run well over C&D the last twice; no reason why she shouldn't go well again.
7th
7th (8) Opticality (8/1 -7%)
Opticality

8/1(-7%)
(8) Opticality 8/1, 7/2, improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner handicap at this course (8.6f) 20 days ago, always holding on. 2 lb rise fair and she has to be feared.
Off the mark at the 18th attempt here last time; will need to better that to follow up.

8th (9) Caracristi (80/1 -142%)
Caracristi

80/1(-142%)
(9) Caracristi 80/1, C&D winner. 33/1, ninth of 10 in handicap back at this C&D 14 days ago. Likely to find one or two too good. Yard also represented by Casa Luna.
4lb lower than for her second C&D success in March, but well below form the last twice.

9th (5) Tacitus (50/1 -52%)
Tacitus

50/1(-52%)
(5) Tacitus 50/1, One win from 22 Flat runs. Winner at Redcar in June. Seventh of 11 in handicap (16/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 13 days ago. Others preferred.
1-22 and no closer than fifth in seven starts on the AW; others more likely.

James Bradley

40/1(-60%)
(11) James Bradley 40/1, 28/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Brighton (9.9f, good) 13 days ago. That was a low-key performance, but possibilities judged on Chelmsford second on penultimate start.
Form patchy since beating three rivals at Chelmsford in January; others more convincing.
11th
11th (12) Two Plus Two (100/1 -52%)
Two Plus Two

100/1(-52%)
(12) Two Plus Two 100/1, Last of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 40/1) 18 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and has work to do.
0-10 and hasn't achieved much; hard to recommend.

25/1(-25%)
(1) Point Of Fact 25/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 33/1, last of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 11 days ago. Hopes pinned on the addition of a visor helping to spark a return to form.

LTO Selection:

19:10 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Opticality merits respect following her recent course success, but preference is for FAST AFFAIR. The daughter of Cracksman was no match for a progressive rival at Southwell last time out, but she is able to compete off an unchanged mark and ought to be capable of going one better. Louisiana Bay could be involved on her handicap bow, from a potentially workable mark.

FAST AFFAIR is appealing on the back of an improved effort in first-time cheekpieces (retained here) at Southwell where she chased home the in-form Kalamunda (winner again since). She is taken to go one better back up in trip off the same mark here. Island Native remains a maiden following 10 attempts, but put in another good shift when a close third here on Saturday and will be a threat if turned out again quickly. Opticality and handicap debutante Louisiana Bay are others to consider.

The choice is FAST AFFAIR (nap) who showed improvement for the fitting of cheekpieces when chasing home an improver at Southwell.

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.

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.
