Flamborough Head was a notable eyecatcher on debut at Redcar. He was drawn on the outside wing in the middle of the course but having started slowly, he was switched the far side rail. He was travelling well in midfield but was constantly denied a run through the final 2f. How close he would have finished is difficult to say but he would have finished a lot closer. He should be better for the experience and turns out again quickly. This is a tougher race, and he may be hostage to fortune again but such was his running on debut, he has to be of interest tonight. At around 16/1, he rates a sporting each way bet.

Griselda landed my Nap a couple of days back and he turns out again quickly and is well in here. The only slight doubt is that he has a 5lb claimer on board though he has got plenty of experience. If he gets a clear run and he has come out of the race well then he should take a deal of beating here.

True Legend has been nicely consistent this season and has arguably been unlucky in the last 2. He got no sort of run in the Plate last time but there should be a decent pace on today and he has Shane Kelly on board and he is 2-2 for the yard this season. There is a good bit of dead wood in this field and at around 4/1, he looks a value bet.

Fourtowns sets the standard on RPRs but didn’t look an easy ride last time and 2m on quick ground around here may not be ideal and at short odds, has to be taken on. I would take a chance on James Owen’s Canon Rock who was a decent sort on the Flat with a best RPR of 92 on the AW. With Sean Bowen up, 3/1 could be a value bet in a race of this standard.

-100

Empire Of Light just sets the standard on RPRs but he does race over keenly which is a worry as that may be why he didn’t quite get home last time. In addition,, the form of his last 2 wins doesn’t look anything special. Financer has also looked progressive in his last couple of runs and looked to have something in hand last time. He is also suited by the trip and ground and both of these should go well. However, Bigbertiebassett takes quite a drop in Class from a Class 3 at Ascot and is fancied to show improved form for the step up to 10f. He has dropped 8lb since his handicap debut 5 runs back, including 3lb since his last run and looks to have been found a good opportunity down to a Class 3. The only slight worry is that the yard could be in better form. He was highly regarded as a 2yo and was expected to go right to the top. If the step up in trip does bring about that improvement, then he could start to repay that faith and at around 4/1, he rates the Nap of the day.

Daring Legend comes here on a hat-trick and carries no penalty for his latest win which was in an apprentice handicap.

Dance Time reportedly did very well though the winter and put on a lot of weight. She ran well on her re-appearance, racing just off the pace until she lost her place as the pace quickened over 2f out. To her credit, she stuck to her guns and was keeping on at the finish. She is sure to come on for the run and will strip fitter today. In addition, there should be a better pace to aim at here and the stiff 12f should suit. With 3 places available in places, she looks way overpriced and rates a solid each way bet at around 12/1.

Shout walked out of the stalls on debut at Windsor and nothing went right for him. He was switched towards the outside once passing the dog-leg and he raced down the wing through the final 2f. He ran green and is sure to be better for the experience.

Canon’s House ran with a deal of promise on debut over 6f at Ripon, finishing 3rd. He raced green in midfield though Ripon is a quirky track and any horse can be forgiven for that. He was staying on nicely through the final furlong and while he drops in trip today, he travelled strongly and should be able to race prominently here from stall 9 and Leicester is a stiffer course so he should be staying on well to the line. At around 6/1, he looks a solid each way bet.

Nad Alshiba Green showed improved form last time on handicap debut, making smooth headway from 2f out before quickening clear through the final furlong. She is from a speedy family of 2yos over 6f though she still needs to prove herself over that trip. She sets the standard and should go close but at the price, there is a doubt until she proves herself at the trip. For me, Griselda also showed slightly improved form on handicap debut last time at Pontefract staying on nicely to lead close home after a troubled run. That said, she looked fine on quicker ground at Carlisle prior to that despite racing keenly. She is well drawn in stall 1 and should be able to race with the pace and looks way overpriced at around 11/1. She looks a solid each way Nap of the day.

Showed much improved form from debut to score on his 2nd run, racing prominently before kicking on over 1f out and keeping on well to score at Chelmsford over 6f. Beaten in 2 better races since at Salisbury at York and will find this easier. He drops back to 5f here and as he usually races enthusiastically; he should be able to race with the pace from stall 4, which is key over CD. His winning form on AW is comfortably his best and he is from a family who have shown their best on this surface. He sets a clear standard on RPRs and is top rated on speed figures. The yard is on good form with 6-27 (22%) in the past 14 days. At around 9/2, he looks a value bet.

Music History recorded her best RPR on debut when making the running at Wetherby over 5.5f before being headed 1f out and only weakening in the final 110 yards. She was then well beaten at Carlisle after racing took keenly and having nothing left over that stiff 5f. Followed that by missing the start at Beverley and getting no run at all from the back throughout the final 2f so a line can be put through that. She just sets the standard on RPRs and should get a clearer run down the outside here. In addition, the yard has a 1-1 strike rate with first time handicappers at the track in the past 5 years and she starts off in a lowly Class 6. At around 9/2, she rates the Nap of the day.

A competitive nursery with the one to take the eye being the Dascombe trained John’s Dragon. She takes on the boys here but could be on a dangerous mark. She showed much improved form last time here, racing prominently from a wide draw before leading inside the final furlong and starting to pull clear in the final 100 yards. She has a wide draw to contend with again here but should be able to race with the pace again and the extra furlong should suit. In addition, the yard has an impressive strike rate of 33% of last time out winners in nurseries in the past 9 seasons so at around 8/1, she rates a solid each way bet.

Strong Warrior has been well backed this morning and this 150,000 gns 2yo is clearly expected to go well on debut. However, Hammer The Hammer is fancied to make his experience tell on his 2nd start, dropping down back to 5f. He was a little slow into stride at Doncaster but was soon racing with the pace and travelling well. He came to challenge 2f out but could not maintain it and weakened through the final furlong. His action suggests that he may be better on today’s better ground as they were kicking the top off last time out. He should be suited by the drop back to 5f and is fancied to be up there in the van for much of the race. He still holds an entry in the Group 2 Gimcrack next month so is clearly well thought of. The yard has a 23% strike rate with 2yo’s at the track in the last 5 years and at around 9/4, looks the Nap of the day.

Babouche is likely to go off favourite here after her impressive debut at Cork just over a month ago. She scored by 5l in a decent time but the form has not been particularly well franked. Camille Pissarro was surprisingly beaten at odds on here 2 months ago but while his RPR didn’t match that at Royal Ascot, he was far from disgraced in a race that is working out really well. He raced on the far side that day and raced with the pace before weakening inside the final furlong to be beaten just over 4l. The form has been upheld by a few in Group 2 and Listed company of late and if Ryan can jump him out, he could take some catching. At around 9/2, he rates the value bet.

Kick Up A Storm was disappointing when raised 11lb at Hereford last time but looked to find the sharp track against him. The yard are in fair form (28% strike rate this season) and 32% at this track in the past 5 seasons. He is up another 2lb for that last defeat but if he can get into a rhythm here, he should be up there throughout and looks the value bet at around 10/3. Likely favourite G A Henty, from the Skelton yard who are 0-20 in the past 14 days so is opposed at a short enough price.

Made a promising re-appearance on the Rowley Mile over 5f but hasn’t gone on since. The ground was on the soft side at Haydock and he wasn’t well drawn at Newcastle last time. Also, last time, he looked as if a step back up to 7f would suit and he gets that today. He has dropped 10lb in the last year and looks on a dangerous mark. In addition, he drops to a Class 4 which is the lowest grade handicap he has ever tackled. The yard has been really quiet earlier in the summer but have turned the corner and is 6-24 (25%) in the past 14 days. There should be a decent pace for him to aim at here and this looks his best chance this season.

Content is the choice of Ryan Moore after her good 3rd in the Pretty Polly. She was staying on well that day but there was a moderate pace for much of the race there and there has to be a doubt about her staying the trip as she is out of the speedy Mecca’s Angel. If she does stay, she will go close. The one that takes the eye is the David Menuisier trained War Chimes. She was a staying on 3rd in the Oaks at Epsom but things didn’t go her way. She raced out wide and was 6 or 7 horses wide turning into the straight. She didn’t look to come down the camber before staying on through the final furlong. She should be better suited by the Curragh and Seamie Heffernan has been booked who knows the track so well. At around 12/1, she looks a solid each way bet.

An interesting renewal with Elite Status and Regional vying for favouritism. Elite Status was impressive when scoring here on re-appearance 63 days ago. However, that was a Listed race and this is a good bit tougher. That last RPR was well above anything else he has recorded so whether he can reproduce that remains to be seen. The doubt for me with Regional is the 6f and I can’t help thinking that he may be vulnerable in this company over 6f. He should go close but may be caught out by the 3yo Lake Forest who made a most promising re-appearance to be 2nd to Inisherin at Royal Ascot. He is sure to come on for that run and will be staying on strongly through the final furlong. At around 11/2, he rates a solid each way bet.

With Andrew Balding and Oisin Murphy in such great form, the selection for me has to be Spirit Mixer. He has dropped 10lb for 5 runs this year and looks off a dangerous mark. He made his run on the far side in the Northumberland Plate last time, which was not the place to be. He kept on through the final 2f without having a chance from that part of the track. Made great strides through the summer of 2022 and only ran once last year. He looks as if he could be ready to return to winning ways and with the race likely to be run to suit, especially with his stable mate to make the running, he looks a solid bet at around 6/1 and rates the Nap of the day.

Won on debut as a 2yo over 7f at Kempton, helping to make the pace and battling on well to the line. Re-appeared over 5f at Pontefract almost 2 months ago, jumping out to make it early before settling in 2nd until taking it up again turning for home. She stayed on nicely to the line to win by 1.75l. Now back up in trip to 6f on handicap debut, she could be off a lenient opening mark and with the yard in great form (8-21 past 14 days) including the last 5 runners, she looks a value bet at around 9/2.

Great Bedwyn showed improved form on re-appearance after a 323 day break. Not disgraced last time at Doncaster some 3 weeks later but there was little pace on and he raced much too keenly which left him little left when asked for his effort over 1f out. He has since been gelded and has had 7 weeks off to get over it. There should be a better pace to aim today and with Pat Dobbs back on board who knows him well, he should get the race run to suit. Also, hopefully the gelding op will have taken the freshness out of him to help him settle. With the short priced favourite clearly throwing the race away last time at Goodwood, he looks a solid bet and rates the Nap of the day.

Adoon Valley sets the standard on RPRs and is sure to give a good account. She raced prominently before running green running into the dip before rallying in the final half furlong here last week. She should be better suited by this step up to 7f and will go close. However, the Hannon trained Stellenbosch also showed up well on debut and will also be well suited by the step up to 7f. The Hannon 2yo’s usually improve for their first run and Hollie Doyle has been to sit on her and she was well pleased with her. She is very well bred out of a Coolmore family and she looks overpriced at around 8/1, and rates a solid each way bet.

He recorded a good speed figure that day, having raced prominently. He then had nothing go right for him in the Coventry at Royal Ascot where he was slowly into stride before racing a bit keenly then hanging right from around 2f out. He should get a good pace to race at here and with Jamie Spencer taking over, he should get the best out of him and he looks overpriced at around 11/2. He rates a solid each way bet.

This looks to be between the 3 last time out winners with preference for Sunny Corner. Atlantic Gamble has been nicely progressive this season winning his last 4. The latest win came in a Class 6 and is now up to a Class 5. He does slightly set the standard on RPRs but he is up another 4lb and he doesn’t have Wilkie on board who has taken off 5lb in his last 2. He is sure to give a good account but at the odds, I have to take him on. Sunny Corner has also been nicely progressive this season and he stepped up from Class 6 to Class 5 last time and his hold up style may suit better to this race. He should be fine on this easier surface and at around 3/1, he rates the value bet.

The last run was on quicker ground than on debut so he may be better suited by slightly easier ground today. There should be a better pace today and he should be staying on down the home straight.

Inisherin just sets the standard on RPRs and has been nicely progressive this season. He acts on any ground and should be able to race close to the pace. He has plenty going for him but at the price (around 2/1) I would rather look for an each way alternative. Kinross is only 1lb behind Inisherin and with the overnight rain to suit, he has everything in his favour here. He probably needed the run on re-appearance at Newcastle last time and is reported to be spot on for this.

Ancient Truth is likely to go off favourite and the yard have a good record in this race. He is progressive and clearly well suited by the CD though both wins were on faster ground. This race was his target since his last run and he is sure to go close if he copes with the slightly easier ground. However, Pentle Bay is another who is progressive and though with a bit to find on RPRs, he could be upgraded for his last run where the race did not go to suit. He would not have beaten the very impressive winner but may have got a bit closer. He will relish the stiff 7f and will be staying on well at the finish.

She was outpaced over 1f out but kept on inside the final furlong to be beaten 5.5l behind Fairy Godmother, one of the best 2yo filly’s seen this season. This is much calmer and if she can run to her best if not improve further, then she should comfortably account for these. At 10/11, that could look very good value after this race.

She won the Group 3 Nell Gwyn on re-appearance which was a surprise to connections and she had to be supplemented for the 1000 Guineas. She was drawn out wide in that race though she was with the front rank at this trip before failing to stay. She has been freshened up with a 68 day break since and should be suited by the drop back to 6f.

The 5f on fast ground at Royal Ascvot may have proved too sharp for him considering he won over 6f on debut on soft/heavy ground and this return to 6f should suit, especially with some cut in the ground.

Struth ran moderately in his first 2 runs this season before showing much improved form when 3rd to Iron Lion at Haydock at the beginning of last month. Raced a bit keenly at Royal Ascot last time and was not given a hard time once his chance had gone from over 1f out. He usually goes well in small fields so today’s race will be ideal. He can race prominently and in much calmer waters he should be too good for these. At around 5/2, he rates the value bet.

Uggy Uggy Uggy probably found the drop to 17f around a sharp track like Newton Abbot last time and will be much better suited by the step back up to 2.5m today. He was unlucky on stable debut at Cheltenham in April and it was his first run off a 177 day break. He duly made amends at Warwick next time over 2m 5f before finding the CD too sharp last time. Bradley Harris is back board today taking a useful 3lb off. As long as the rain stays away and it’s not forecast until later in the day, he has been well backed in the early market and rates the value bet.

Volcanology made her handicap debut on re-appearance at Ripon and soon got to the front. She was headed over 2f out but only weakened inside the final furlong. That was on soft ground and any horse can be forgiven for a run at Ripon. Her win last year at Brighton was on fast ground and she gets her conditions again today. With Billy Loughnane taking over on board, down to a Class 6 handicap, she has everything in her favour to land her 2nd win. At around 7/1, she rates the Nap of the day.

The Caltonian, Classy Al and Be Proud all clashed 2 weeks ago over CD and there should be little between them again. However, Classy Al is not the easiest of rides and The Caltonian is 0-12 on turf and did not look too resolute last time. Be Proud is up 3lb but could still come out on top. However, the one for me is Winter Crown. Julie Camacho’s 4yo won around this time last year (29 June) and has been pretty consistent since then. He recorded his best RPR last time out and remains on the same mark. The yard has a decent strike rate here (6-22 ??" 27%) in the past 5 years and is the only runner today. Ryan Sexton, who rode him to his last win, is back on board and at round 7/2, he rates the value bet.

Hamartia sets the standard on RPRs but this chaser is now 0-11 under Rules and has to be taken on. Gentle Life made a promising hurdles debut last time after almost 2 years off the track and it remains to be seen whether she can reproduce or progress from that. The one for me is the Harry Derham trained O’Grady’s Hill. Winner of an Irish PTP, she has had one run in a NHF race where she went clear before losing the lead then staying on again. She is bred to be suited by at least this sort of trip and with the yard 3-10 at the track in the past couple of seasons, she is fancied to add to that strike rate and is the Nap of the day.

Kolossal comes here slightly under the radar after finishing 5th in a Class 2 handicap on re-appearance. However, not much went right for her in that and it was a competitive Class 2 handicap at Royal Ascot. In addition, she was on and off the bit and she did lose her off side fore shoe. On RPRs, she is 2nd top rated and as she should be able to race prominently without being hassled unlike at Ascot, then she has every chance of running her race. She can only improve for that run which was her first since October and at around 22/1, she rates a sporting each way bet.

Desperate Hero has been most progressive this season and recorded a much improved RPR last time, form which has been well advertised since with those behind him winning 8 times since between them and the speed figure was impressive. Nicely drawn in 4 with usual slow starters inside him, he should be able to race with the pace and in current form and if he continues to progress, it will take a good one to beat him. He rates the Nap of the day.

The yard have a very good record here especially with 2yos, (3-5 in the last 5 years). Should be much better for debut run which was a useful race and at around 14/1 is a sporting each way bet.

Curious Rover has been in decent form this season and takes a drop in grade today and has dropped 7lb since his re-appearance this season. He likes to race prominently, so stall 2 of 7 should allow him to do that here. His 4 runs this term have all been in Class 3 and he drops to a Class 4 today. He is effective on both good or soft ground so any rain shouldn’t be a problem. Tom Marquand is an interesting booking and with conditions very much to suit and a very tempting mark, he looks the one to be on at around 3/1.
