Here is a summary of the race and my best pick based on the provided data and professional comments:

Professional Comments:

• Aryaah (IRE) has been successful twice on fast ground in the past but has been inconsistent for her new stable. If she returns to her previous form, she could be well-treated in this race.
• Dark Company (IRE) is a dual AW scorer and has shown promising recent form, finishing second in his last three races, including a narrow defeat on soft ground at Beverley. He enters calculations as a contender in this race.
• Naadyaa has shown decent recent form, finishing second at Yarmouth in a 1m2f classified event. Her possibilities are high if she can build on that good effort.

Sky Bet Go-Racing-In-Yorkshire Summer Festival Handicap
1m4f

Here is a summary of the race and my best pick based on the provided data and professional comments:

Race Summary:
This is the Sky Bet Go-Racing-In-Yorkshire Summer Festival Handicap at Catterick, a 1 mile 4 furlongs race featuring 6 runners. The race is for 3-year-olds and older horses and is a Class 4 contest with a win prize of £7,066. The track is left-handed, and the stall positioning is in the center. The going is described as soft.

Professional Comments:

• Dragonball Prince (IRE) has shown potential in the past, going close off 8lb higher at Wolverhampton but has not matched that form recently and needs the cheekpieces to give him a lift.
• Feud is a well-bred gelding who justified favoritism in a Haydock handicap last time out. He has a fair 3lb rise and looks open to more progress in middle-distance handicaps, making him a key player in this race.
• Genesius (IRE) has three of his four wins under the same jockey. His latest victory was at Thirsk on his return to turf. He still looks feasibly treated and deserves respect back on turf.
• Hope You Can Run (IRE) has a solid record in headgear this season, including a rallying second at Newmarket in his last outing. With only a 1lb higher weight, he should give it another good shot in this race.

My Best Pick:
Based on the data and professional comments, my best pick for this race would be horse number 5, Feud. He showed good form in his latest victory at Haydock and has the potential to progress further in middle-distance handicaps. With a fair rise in the weights, Feud is likely to be a key player and has a strong chance of success in this race.

The race is for 2-year-olds and is a Class 5 contest with a win prize of £3,564. The track is straight, and the stall positioning is in the center. The going is described as Good To Firm.

Professional Comments:

• Battleofbaltimore has shown modest Racing Post Ratings (RPRs) in a couple of 6-furlong events on fast ground. He was a runner-up behind an emphatic winner here in his latest outing, and this drop in trip to 5 furlongs may prompt a better performance. He is a half-brother to a 5-furlong winner.
• Tenhotfourcrazy has finished second in fillies’ contests at Bath (5.7f, firm) and Catterick (5f, good) and looks up to winning an ordinary race. She appears to be a leading player at the weights on her first attempt against males.

Based on the data and professional comments, my best pick for this race would be horse number 8, Tenhotfourcrazy (IRE). She has shown consistent form with second-place finishes in fillies’ contests and appears to be up to winning an ordinary race.

• Anificas Beauty (IRE) has front-running wins at Chelmsford over 6 furlongs and 7 furlongs. She may face competition for the lead in this race, which could impact her chances.
• Miss Mai Tai is chasing a hat-trick after narrow wins at Leicester and Goodwood over 6 furlongs on good to firm ground. She still looks fairly weighted and is likely to be competitive again.
• Starproof (IRE) won easily over this course and distance in her last race and returns with a 6lb penalty. She’ll be hard to beat if she can repeat that performance.
• Tallulah Myla (IRE) made a winning handicap debut on the All-Weather over 6 furlongs and should be fully effective on turf. With positive tactics and a favorable draw, she’s one to take seriously.

My Best Pick:
Based on the data and professional comments, my best pick for this race would be horse number 6, Starproof (IRE). She was an easy winner over the course and distance in her last race and proved her ability under similar conditions. Although carrying a 6lb penalty, her recent form suggests she’s in good shape and hard to beat.

Wed 26th Jul 2023
5.15 Naas (7 runners)
Arqana Irish EBF Marwell Stakes (Fillies Listed)
5f 

Here is a summary of the race and my best pick based on the provided data and professional comments:

Race Summary:
This is the Arqana Irish EBF Marwell Stakes (Fillies Listed) at Naas, a 5-furlong race with 7 runners. The race is a Listed contest for 2-year-old fillies and will be run on soft ground. The track is straight.

Professional Comments:

• Bated Moon (IRE) won on testing ground on debut at Cork but struggled in Group contests on firmer ground. The softer ground and cheekpieces might help, but improvement is needed.
• Brighter (FR) made a winning debut at Dundalk and defeated Vanity Pays, showing promise. Having had a break, she looks like a type that can progress and cope with the soft ground.
• Cherry Blossom (IRE) is a well-bred No Nay Never filly with impressive connections, and Ryan Moore is selected as the jockey. As a debutante, she’s not entered in any big races, but she should be respected.
• Clarita (IRE) showed promise on her debut but performed below expectations in her last race behind Storm Miami at this course.
• Indispensable won her maiden at Ripon but struggled over 6 furlongs in a Newmarket Listed race. Back in trip, soft ground is an unknown factor for her.
• Storm Miami (IRE) made a good impression on her C&D debut, finishing strongly. She is likely to appreciate the 6-furlong distance and soft ground.
• Tiger Belle (IRE) has been running well, winning on debut at Cork and being competitive in subsequent races. She has shown plenty of speed and should run her race again, but she might be vulnerable to improving runners.
• Vanity Pays ran well but narrowly lost to Brighter at Dundalk and then struggled over 6 furlongs at this course. Back in trip, she should be competitive again.

My Best Pick:
Based on the data and professional comments, my best pick for this race would be horse number 6, Storm Miami (IRE). She made a good impression on her C&D debut, showing a strong finishing kick. With the 6-furlong distance likely to suit her and the soft ground as an advantage, she should be competitive in this race. Her performance on debut indicates that she’s a filly with potential, and she can build on that to secure another victory in this Listed race.

As always, 2-year-old races can be unpredictable, and debutantes can bring an element of uncertainty. It’s essential to consider all factors before making any betting decisions.

5.45 Naas (17 runners)
Sean Barrett Bloodstock Insurances Ltd Handicap
6f 

Here is a summary of the race and my best pick based on the provided data and professional comments:

Race Summary:
This is the Sean Barrett Bloodstock Insurances Ltd Handicap at Naas, a 6-furlong race featuring 17 runners. The race is open to 3-year-olds and above and is a Class 5 contest with a win prize of £6,372. The track is straight, and the going is described as Soft.

Professional Comments:

• Little Queenie won over C&D earlier this month on good ground, but she was withdrawn due to soft ground at Navan, which raises concerns about her ability to handle the softer conditions.
• Wave Machine has been regressive this year but showed a bit more in a recent C&D run. She won a C&D race on heavy ground as a 2-year-old and is now back in soft ground conditions. Her career-low mark gives her a chance in this race.

My Best Pick:
Based on the data and professional comments, my best pick for this race would be horse number 2, Wave Machine (FR). While she has been regressive this year, she showed a bit more in her recent C&D run. Her previous win at C&D on heavy ground as a 2-year-old suggests that she could handle the soft ground conditions. Additionally, her career-low mark in the handicap could make her competitive in this race. With the return to soft ground and the potential for improvement, she looks like a strong contender for the Sean Barrett Bloodstock Insurances Ltd Handicap.

Wed 26th Jul 2023 6.20 Naas (11 runners) Yeomanstown Stud Irish EBF Stakes (Fillies & Mares Listed) 6f

Here is a summary of the race and my best pick based on the provided data and professional comments:

Race Summary:
This is the Yeomanstown Stud Irish EBF Stakes (Fillies & Mares Listed) at Naas, a 6-furlong race with 11 runners. The race is a Listed contest for fillies and mares aged three and older and will be run on soft ground. The track is straight.

Professional Comments:

• Aussie Girl (IRE) won a maiden at Sligo and has been consistently performing well in handicaps, with an excellent second-place finish behind Strike Red at Curragh recently.
• Clounmacon won over 7 furlongs and has run well over 1 mile. However, her recent form in the 1-mile Sandringham Stakes was not impressive, and both the distance and ground may not be ideal for her.
• Craft Irish (IRE) is an 85-rated filly with four wins out of 13 starts. Her handicap form has been fair this season, but she needs to produce a career-best performance to be competitive in this company.
• Hodds Girl (IRE) is rated 99 and has been successful on the All-Weather tracks with three wins at Dundalk. Soft ground is a concern for her, and she may prefer the artificial surfaces.
• Lady Onyx (IRE) won a maiden at Gowran over 7 furlongs and has shown good speed in two Listed races in Britain over 7 furlongs. The drop in trip to 6 furlongs may suit her, and she’s one of the less exposed runners in the field.
• Linden Lady (AUS) is a 1-mile winner in Australia and has been running over middle distances. The 6-furlong trip may not be adequate for her.
• My Eyes Adore You (IRE) has one win from 14 starts and has run creditably in Group and Listed races. Her current form is not as strong as last season’s performances.
• Queen Maedbh (IRE) won a maiden at Dundalk over 6 furlongs last November and has placed in two of her three starts this season. She’s closely matched with My Eyes Adore You based on their running at Fairyhouse.
• Radio Goo Goo has shown improvement and gained four consecutive 6-furlong handicap wins. She has competed in competitive environments recently, including a Group 2 sprint at York, and meets lesser opposition in this race.
• Sioux Spirit (IRE) defeated Aussie Girl in a C&D handicap and is only 2lb worse off now. She had a below-par performance when last of five at Naas in her previous race.
• Sweetest Rose rewarded her consistency with a maiden win at Listowel. Although rated 79, she may improve with her confidence boosted.

My Best Pick:
Based on the data and professional comments, my best pick for this race would be horse number 9, Radio Goo Goo. She has been showing improvement and recorded four consecutive 6-furlong handicap wins during May and June. Her recent performances in competitive environments, including a Group 2 sprint at York, were impressive, and she faces lesser opposition in this Listed race. With her current form and potential for further progress, Radio Goo Goo looks like a strong contender to win this race.

Wed 26th Jul 2023
8.10 Sandown (9 runners)
Racing TV Handicap
1m2f

Here is a summary of the race and my best pick based on the provided data and professional comments:

Race Summary:
This is the Racing TV Handicap at Sandown, a 1 mile 2 furlong race with 9 runners. The race is open to 3-year-olds and will be run on good ground. The track is right-handed, and the stall positioning is on the inside.

Professional Comments:

• Band Of Steel won easily in a 8.6 furlong Tapeta maiden as a 2-year-old. He reappeared in a 1-mile AW handicap as a favorite and showed promise. He needs to build on that performance, and the pedigree suggests he has the stamina for this distance.
• Dancing In Paris won narrowly at Haydock in April and was a close second at Sandown in May, both in 1-mile handicaps on good ground. Despite two backward performances on good to firm ground, he has stamina on the dam’s side and could be considered for this longer trip.
• Dumfries showed promise with a close finish at Brighton over 1 mile on soft ground and won a Southwell maiden (1 mile, AW) in March on his reappearance. He disappointed when the favorite on handicap debut at Musselburgh but has since been gelded. His performances have been mixed, but he remains a contender.
• Gallant Lion performed poorly on handicap debut but bounced back with a strong win at Newbury over 1 mile 2 furlongs. His style of victory was impressive, and even with a 7lb rise in weight, he looks competitive in this race.
• Golspie won comfortably at Newbury over 1 mile on soft ground in April but hasn’t replicated that form in his two 1 mile 2 furlong races on good ground. He will be wearing cheekpieces for the first time, and his potential is uncertain.
• Gozo has shown ability in all six starts but is yet to win, despite being equipped with cheekpieces on all three runs this season. He drops in class after finishing fifth in a valuable 3-year-old handicap at Newmarket over 1 mile 2 furlongs. He is likely to be in the mix.
• Morcar won comfortably on his handicap debut at Windsor over 1 mile 2 furlongs, albeit in a small three-runner race. He is up 8lb in weight, but it’s difficult to gauge his true ability, and he may still be well handicapped.
• Stage Show achieved third-place finishes in two of his three handicaps, and his best efforts show promise. He was less impressive at Sandown over this course and distance, but he is still in contention based on his top performances.
• Zodiac Star was beaten in all three starts last season and showed less promise on his reappearance. He will be upped in trip for this handicap debut and is wearing a hood for the first time.

My Best Pick:
Based on the data and professional comments, my best pick for this race would be horse number 8, Gallant Lion. Despite a disappointing performance on handicap debut, he bounced back with a convincing win at Newbury over the same distance as this race. His style of victory was noteworthy, and he looks like a horse in form. Despite the 7lb rise in weight, he has the potential to compete effectively in this race.

Wed 26th Jul 2023
7.40 Sandown (10 runners)
Verve Way Handicap
1m

Here is a summary of the race and my best pick based on the provided data and professional comments:

Race Summary:
This is the Verve Way Handicap at Sandown, a 1-mile race with 10 runners. The race is open to 3-year-olds and above and will be run on good ground. The track is right-handed, and the stall positioning is on the inside.

Professional Comments:

• Two Tempting (IRE) is 0-9 on turf but has finished second in both attempts over this course and distance. He won at Kempton over 1 mile on the All-Weather in his last outing and is likely to be competitive despite being on a career-high mark.
• Golden Sands (IRE) is a four-time All-Weather winner and opened his turf account at Beverley over 8.5 furlongs on good to firm ground. He may have been unsuited by a change in tactics in his last race at Carlisle, but if he returns to his usual front-running style, he could go well.
• Intercessor has shown form on slow ground and has won on good to firm. He ran credibly in three races during the spring but had a dip in form at Carlisle in his last outing. If he bounces back, he could be involved in the finish.
• Distinguished Lady (FR) campaigned at shorter distances for previous yards and has won over 6 furlongs on the All-Weather. Her latest effort at 7 furlongs suggests she may be suited by this new trip on her debut for Darryll Holland, and she should not be dismissed.
• Mudskipper is a five-race maiden and the least exposed contender in the field. He has not been an immediate success in handicaps this year but still looks well treated based on his final 2-year-old effort over 1 mile on soft ground. The recent gelding operation might prove beneficial, and he deserves respect.
• Fascinating Lips (IRE) is a 1-mile winner in Germany as a 3-year-old, and all his British Flat form has been over middle distances, including two 1 mile 2 furlong All-Weather wins. The drop back in trip is a question mark for him.
• Frequent Flyer is an eight-race maiden and has been the runner-up twice at Ffos Las over 7.4 furlongs. His chances depend on how well he responds to the change of headgear, with blinkers replacing the visor worn in his last two races.
• Night Arc has raced mainly on good to firm ground and has one win over 1 mile 2 furlongs in 2022. He has been in similar form in his last two races, finishing second at Newbury and Doncaster, and could be a contender despite a 2lb rise in weight.
• Snapcracklepop has been generally consistent since winning at Windsor over 1 mile on good to soft ground last August. He came up short in higher grade at the same course in his last race and returns to his usual level here with possibilities.
• Billy Mill has mainly campaigned on the All-Weather and holds weak claims based on his 2023 form. His chances may depend on how well he adapts to turf.

My Best Pick:
Based on the data and professional comments, my best pick for this race would be horse number 1, Two Tempting (IRE). Although he is 0-9 on turf, he has shown promise at this course and distance, finishing second in both attempts. He comes into this race in good form, having won at Kempton on the All-Weather in his last outing. If he can transfer that form back to turf, he should be competitive despite the increase in his handicap mark.

Wed 26th Jul 2023
7.50 Leicester (6 runners)
British EBF 40th Anniversary Fillies Handicap
7f 

Here is a summary of the race and my best pick based on the provided data and professional comments:

Race Summary:
The race is the British EBF 40th Anniversary Fillies Handicap at Leicester, a 7-furlong event with 6 runners. It is open to 3-year-olds and above and will be run on soft ground. The stall positioning is on the stands side.

Professional Comments:

• American Belle (IRE) has won both her races this season over 7 furlongs at Chelmsford and Doncaster on good to firm ground. She received a 5lb rise in the weights after her latest win, and it might have found her out when she finished behind Prepense at Newmarket a month ago.
• Icy Dip has won both her races over 1 mile at Kempton, but her subsequent efforts over 1 mile on good ground and 7 furlongs on the All-Weather did not read well.
• Liberalist returned with a narrow maiden victory at Thirsk over 7 furlongs on soft ground. However, she was outclassed in a 1,000 Guineas trial, and her current mark looks quite harsh based on her achievements.
• Prepense won a maiden race on Newmarket’s Rowley course over 7 furlongs on good ground. On her handicap debut over 1 mile, she didn’t stay the distance, and on her return to 7 furlongs on the Newmarket July course, she finished third. Her mark hasn’t changed despite these two defeats, and she could still be competitive.
• Sonemos (IRE) won over 7 furlongs at Leicester on good to firm ground and ran well from the front when third at Sandown over 1 mile. She may have more improvement to come and is unraced on turf slower than good.
• Windsor Pass (IRE) is an exposed maiden and performed well on her reappearance at Newcastle when finishing as the runner-up off 3lb higher. However, even a repeat of that form may not be enough in this race.

My Best Pick:
Based on the data and professional comments, my best pick for this race would be horse number 1, Prepense. She has a maiden win over 7 furlongs on good ground and has shown promise in her subsequent races. Although she didn’t stay the distance over 1 mile, dropping back to 7 furlongs should suit her better. With the potential for more improvement, she could be a prominent contender in this race.

Wed 26th Jul 2023
8.40 Sandown (11 runners)
HWFA Williams Handicap
1m6f

Here is a summary of the race and my best pick based on the provided data and professional comments:

Race Summary:
This is the HWFA Williams Handicap at Sandown, a 1 mile 6 furlong race with 11 runners. The race is open to horses aged four years and older and will be run on good ground. The track is right-handed, and the stall positioning is on the inside.

Professional Comments:

• Alpine Stroll has two wins at Nottingham last summer and has been a runner-up twice on good to firm ground in June, including one over the same course and distance as this race. Acts on good to soft ground, but the softer ground on the latest outing might not have suited the horse. Alpine Stroll has a competitive mark.
• Bunker Bay had two poor runs before winning at Yarmouth over 11.4 furlongs on good to soft ground. His two good runs this season were with the use of a hood. This is a more competitive race, and Bunker Bay needs to prove himself over the new trip.
• Justus won in France as a 3-year-old and opened his British account with an easy success at Doncaster over 2 miles on soft ground. He was well beaten at Chester two weeks later, possibly due to the extended distance, but he had a wind operation after that. His market strength will be interesting to observe.
• Lusaka returned to the Flat with two short-priced wins at Chepstow and Ffos Las over 1 mile 4 furlongs and 1 mile 6 furlongs, respectively. The horse was impressive in those races, and the form has been validated by subsequent wins from other runners. Despite a 4lb rise in weight and moving up in class, Lusaka remains a strong contender.
• Militry Decoration had wind surgery in March and has shown promise in his recent starts, finishing in minor placings. His latest run over the course and distance indicates that he holds an each-way chance.
• Neandra’s two wins were on Lingfield Polytrack last year. Although her form has not replicated those victories, her latest start at the distance of 1 mile 6 furlongs shows some promise. She has a chance in this race, although others may have stronger claims.
• Noble Masquerade has been a runner-up on his only start at Sandown. However, he has more to prove in this race, especially since it’s been over two years since he raced without headgear.
• State Legend showed promise with a close finish at York over 1 mile 6 furlongs on good to firm ground, but that has been his most competitive display in eight attempts for his current yard. He added cheekpieces for his latest run but only managed a sixth-place finish. Other contenders are more compelling.
• Tralee Hills won over 1 mile 6 furlongs at Bath in April and has mostly competed at 1 mile 4 furlongs this season. He prefers ground softer than good, so that may be a consideration. He could be an each-way option if the ground conditions suit.
• Victory’s sole win was on an All-Weather surface in 2021. The horse has been a runner-up on good to firm ground before and was second again in his latest outing with cheekpieces. He is stepping up to the new and longer distance in this race and needs to find extra to compete with others.

My Best Pick:
Based on the data and professional comments, my best pick for this race would be horse number 11, Lusaka (IRE). He has shown impressive form on his two latest starts, winning comfortably at Chepstow and Ffos Las. His strong performances have been validated by subsequent wins from other runners, indicating his ability. Despite a 4lb rise in weight and stepping up in class, Lusaka’s recent form suggests that he can be a strong contender in this race.
