Distance 1m 3f 198y

Prize ÂŁ3,245 Rated (0-55) Age 4yo+ Race State Declaration Surface Turf Runners 10

Going Good (Good to Firm in places)

After analysing the comments and assessing the chart, my opinion is that Seattle King, ridden by Josephine Gordon and trained by Phil McEntee, is the most likely winner. Seattle King has been kept busy on both AW and turf, and recently ended a long losing run with a strong finish in a 1m2f race here. With only a 2lb increase and a suitable longer trip today, the horse should be respected.

Possible dangers include Cliffs of Malta, ridden by Luke Morris and trained by Michael Roberts, who has placed in basement-grade AW classified races and is evidently in good heart. Junoesque, ridden by Darragh Keenan and trained by John Gallagher, is another one to watch. This front-runner is well-suited by this track and gave a decent account when finishing fifth behind Seattle King in a recent race here. With today’s longer trip, it won’t be surprising if Junoesque makes a bold bid.

Distance 1m 1f 207y

Prize ÂŁ13,500 Rated (0-90) Age 3yo+ Race State Declaration Surface Turf Runners 10

Going Good (Good to Firm in places)

After analysing the comments and assessing the chart, Maid In Kentucky, ridden by Connor Planas and trained by George Boughey, appears to be the most likely winner. With two wins out of three on AW, the latest being a 1m Lingfield novice on her seasonal debut in March, Maid In Kentucky has shown strong form. Upped in trip for today’s turf/handicap debut, the filly is open to significant further improvement.

Possible dangers to consider include Three Priests, ridden by Aidan Keeley and trained by Roger Varian. Three Priests showed promise when winning a Bath novice last June and put in a good performance on her handicap debut at Newcastle in March. Competing off the same mark with a talented 5lb claimer enlisted, she may still have a bigger run in her. Another contender is Rich, ridden by Pat Dobbs and trained by Richard Hannon. With an impressive 2yo debut last May, and a respectable third place in a Kempton conditions race three weeks ago, Rich is stepping up in trip for today’s handicap debut and could have a lot more to offer.

Distance 7f 3y

Prize ÂŁ4,320 Age 3yo+ Race State Declaration Surface Turf Runners 11

Going Good (Good to Soft in places)

After analysing the comments and assessing the chart, Wild Side, ridden by Oisin Murphy and trained by George Boughey, seems to be the most likely winner. This daughter of Kodiac displayed her best performance yet when finishing a clear second in a 6f Pontefract novice just eight days ago, putting her in a strong position for this race.

Possible dangers to consider include Tajalat, ridden by David Egan and trained by Roger Varian. This debutante, a Showcasing filly, has an impressive pedigree and comes from a leading yard, making her an interesting contender. Another horse to watch is Hakuna Babe, ridden by Kieran Shoemark and trained by William Jarvis. She showed promise on her debut in October, finishing fourth in a 7f Kempton novice and has more to offer in future races.

BRITISH STALLION STUDS EBF FILLIES’ HANDICAP (3)

Distance 1m 75y

Prize ÂŁ10,800 Rated (0-90) Age 4yo+ Race State Declaration Surface Turf Runners 6

Going Soft (Heavy in places)

After analysing the comments and assessing the chart, Kingmania, ridden by Daniel Muscutt and trained by James Ferguson, appears to be the most likely winner. Kingmania is a three-time turf winner and was successful on her stable debut at Southwell last month. With only a 3lb increase in her rating, she has solid claims for this race.

Possible dangers to consider include Canoodled, ridden by Saffie Osborne and trained by Ed Walker. Canoodled was consistent last year, culminating in a commanding win at Newmarket in October. She is now 3-6 on ground slower than good, and with the conditions in her favour, she could pose a significant threat. Another contender to watch is Belhaven, ridden by Pierre-Louis Jamin and trained by Harry Eustace. Despite finishing last on her reappearance at Redcar, she previously had three wins in 2022 and could resume her progressive ways with a strong performance in this race.

Prize ÂŁ3,245 Rated (0-60) Age 4yo+ Race State Declaration Surface Turf Runners 9

Going Good (Good to Firm in places)

After analysing the comments and assessing the chart, Rhubarb Bikini, ridden by Luke Morris and trained by Simon Hodgson, seems to be the most likely winner. Rhubarb Bikini found success for her current stable at the fourth attempt, beating Letter Of The Law over the same course and distance ten days ago. She will be wearing first-time blinkers today and is a likely contender for the win.

Potential dangers include Letter Of The Law, ridden by Darragh Keenan and trained by John O’Shea. Despite a modest 1-24 strike rate, he ran an impressive race in defeat when coming second to Rhubarb Bikini over the same course and distance. He remains well handicapped based on some of last year’s form and should be considered. Another contender to watch is Ower Starlight, ridden by Alec Voikhansky and trained by Richard Hannon. Although below form at Lingfield last month, Ower Starlight is unexposed over 1 mile on turf and could be a strong competitor in this race.

ADARE MANOR OPPORTUNITY MAIDEN HURDLE (D.I)

Distance 2m 139y

Prize â‚¬12,000 Age 5yo+ Race State Declaration Runners 18

Going Yielding

After analysing the comments and assessing the chart, Lucid Dreams, ridden by Liam Quinlan and trained by John Patrick Ryan, appears to be the most likely winner. Lucid Dreams had a strong debut when finishing a clear second in a 2m Fakenham maiden hurdle in March, and followed up with a solid bumper third-place finish last month. This late-starter from a decent family is expected to play a significant role in this race.

Possible dangers include Laelaps, ridden by E. Walsh and trained by Andrew McNamara. Laelaps was rated 100 in his prime on the Flat and has shown potential in his previous races. If he can settle better with the hood reapplied, he could have more to offer in this race. Another contender to keep an eye on is Star Harbour, ridden by S. Fitzgerald and trained by Adrian McGuinness. Star Harbour performed well on better ground in a Leopardstown maiden and may find similar conditions more suitable in this race.

Going Soft (Heavy in places)

After analysing the comments and assessing the chart, Silks Graphite, ridden by Andrea Atzeni and trained by Darryll Holland, seems to be the most likely winner. Although he had triple-figure prices in his qualifying runs, Silks Graphite showed more promise in his second 6f handicap at Yarmouth 17 days ago on soft ground. With Andrea Atzeni replacing a 7lb claimer, Silks Graphite is likely to be involved in the race.

Possible dangers include Ghost Lights, ridden by Richard Kingscote and trained by Charles Hills. Ghost Lights displayed promise on his handicap debut at Lingfield in March and has potential at this level for a yard in good form. As Ghost Lights is unraced on turf, it will be interesting to see how he performs on this surface. Another contender to watch is Starnight, ridden by Ben Martin Coen and trained by John Patrick Murtagh. Starnight’s performance in a big field on handicap debut at the Curragh suggests she is capable of better, making her a potential threat in this race.

Distance 5f 21y

Going Standard

After analysing the comments and assessing the chart, Rockley Point, ridden by Phil Dennis and trained by Katie Scott, seems to be the most likely winner. The veteran horse has been in good form recently, with wins at Southwell and Newcastle, and a close finish in a handicap over this course and distance three weeks ago. Rockley Point’s recent performance suggests he should go well again.

Possible dangers include We’re Reunited, ridden by David Probert and trained by Michael Blake. Although not a prolific winner, We’re Reunited scored in a classified event at Bath last summer and returned from a five-month break with a close third in a course and distance classified event eight weeks ago. This makes him a more appealing choice than most.

Another horse to watch is Pandemic Princess, ridden by Dale Swift and trained by Charlie Wallis. She has slipped to a good mark now and has shown promising signs in her last two races, finishing a close fourth over this trip in March and shaping as though in better form than the result suggests over 6f last week. Pandemic Princess could go well at a decent price.

After analysing the comments and assessing the chart, Another Angel, ridden by Mark Winn and trained by Antony Brittain, appears to be the most likely winner. This multiple AW winner has been in good form lately, with a successful course and distance run in April and narrowly missing out on a win in his latest race despite the widest draw. Although luck hasn’t been on his side regarding the draw, he is still expected to deliver a strong performance.

Possible dangers to watch out for include Catesby, ridden by Elisha Whittington and trained by Scott Dixon. Catesby has shown potential at the right level, winning two of his four course and distance handicaps. Despite being hampered in his last race, he could have a good run with a clear path.

Another horse to consider is Bungle Bay, ridden by Laura Pearson and trained by James Evans. Suited by the course and distance, Bungle Bay has been close on his first attempt and then claimed a win in January. While he hasn’t had the best runs since then, he is now back on his winning mark and returning to the 6f distance, making him a contender in this race.

After analysing the comments and assessing the chart, Peony, ridden by Ross Coakley and trained by Ed Walker, seems to be the most likely winner. Peony had a solid second-place finish on her seasonal return at Kempton five weeks ago and is expected to perform well against her own sex in this race.

Possible dangers to watch out for include Reminder, ridden by David Probert and trained by Andrew Balding. Reminder is a half-sister to several winners and is of obvious interest on paper, making her a strong contender in this race.

Another horse to consider is Annie Maher, ridden by Harry Davies and trained by Michael Bell. Although consistent in her previous races, she might be vulnerable to improvers. Nevertheless, she is well drawn for a prominent racer and her return to 6f should not be an issue, so she could potentially pose a threat.

After analysing the comments and assessing the chart, Francesi, ridden by Harry Davies and trained by S. P. C. Woods, appears to be the most likely winner. Francesi was a 1m novice winner at Lingfield and returned with a close second at Southwell after being gelded. With two C&D placements under his belt, he certainly has a strong chance in this race.

Possible dangers to keep an eye on include Savrola, ridden by Ross Coakley and trained by James Ferguson. Savrola has a progressive profile in handicaps and could still be open to further progress for his new yard, making him a noteworthy contender.

Daheer, ridden by Billy Loughnane and trained by Mark Loughnane, is another horse to consider. With all five of his wins taking place at this venue, Daheer has solid claims off a fair mark and could pose a threat in this race.

After analysing the comments and assessing the chart, Profitar Rules, ridden by Ben Curtis and trained by Tom Dascombe, seems to be the most likely winner. Profitar Rules recently got off the mark over C&D, beating Aihawawi by 1l. Although now 2lb higher, it will be interesting to see if he can confirm the placings on these slightly less favourable terms.

Possible dangers to watch out for include Aihawawi, ridden by Jason Watson and trained by David O’Meara. Aihawawi has been showing improved form recently, finishing as a runner-up to Profitar Rules over 7f here and battling well over that trip at Wolverhampton last week. If Aihawawi can cope with the extra yardage, he might pose a significant threat.

My Roxanne, ridden by Ben Robinson and trained by Brian Ellison, is another contender to consider. She recently won by a nose at Chelmsford and remains on the same mark. With her dam being an 8.5f winner, My Roxanne may have more to offer over this stiffer test at the trip.

After analysing the comments and assessing the chart, Exceed, ridden by Rowan Scott and trained by Nigel Tinkler, appears to be the most likely winner. Exceed has shown reliability, which is a major asset, and has more going for him than most in the field. He just failed at Southwell in April before running another solid race in defeat at Bath, and with the trainer in form, Exceed looks to be a strong contender.

Possible dangers to consider include Debydinks, ridden by Oisin James Orr and trained by Keith Dalgleish. Debydinks is 0-15 but has filled the runner-up spot on four occasions this year, making him high on the shortlist. However, it’s hard to state with confidence when he’ll finally break his duck. Another contender to watch is Cheyenne Nation, ridden by Connor Beasley and trained by Michael Dods. Cheyenne Nation was a runner-up on his seasonal reappearance at Thirsk but failed to build on that when returned to 6f at Redcar. Competing on AW for the first time, he will be seeking a breakthrough at the eighth attempt.

After analysing the comments and assessing the chart, Spirit Of Bowland, ridden by Callum Rodriguez and trained by Stella Barclay, seems to be the most likely winner. Spirit Of Bowland is on a hat-trick after wins over 7f at this venue in March and over 1m at Southwell last month. Despite being up another 4lb, the horse still has a good chance.

Possible dangers to consider include Odd Socks Havana, ridden by Paul Mulrennan and trained by Rebecca Menzies. Odd Socks Havana has two course and distance wins this year, as well as a neck second at Wolverhampton last time. Suited by a good pace, this horse looks to be a strong contender. Another horse to watch is Masham Moor, ridden by Paula Muir and trained by Chris Fairhurst. Masham Moor has had a series of good runs this year, notably when finishing a neck second to Odd Socks Havana over the course and distance in March.
