Pontefract

Cure Leukaemia EBF 'Newcomers' Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)

Powerful Glory

Sands Of Indi

A field of newcomers with the standout being DASH DIZZY, who's bred to be sharp and is evidently held in high regard judged on his Group 1 entries. Powerful Glory proved popular at the Breeze-Ups and holds an entry for the Mill Reef so is another likely type, while Telepathic and Sands of Indi both hail from yards that can ready one. 

Sky Bet For The Fans Handicap

Sky Bet paying 5 places instead of 3

SKY BET EXTRA PLACE RACE

Zozimus

Arkenstaar

Casilli

This is wide open so at the likely odds it is worth siding with BEYLERBEYI to bounce back in style having gone too freely at Yarmouth last time and bag a fourth win of 2024. Nottingham runner-up Terries Royale heads the list of dangers with few miles still on the clock, although in-form trio Casilli, Zozimus and Al Marmar all need factoring in too.

EBF Sky Bet Sunday Series Flying Fillies' Stakes (Fillies' & Mares' Listed)

Marine Wave

Adaay In Devon

Tiger Bay

RAGE OF BAMBY holds the clear edge on form so is taken to follow up her York handicap success in this higher grade. Adaay In Devon is enyoing an excellent season and could emerge as the main danger to Eve Johnson Houghton's filly ahead of Marine Wave and Miaharris. 

Sky Bet Build A Bet Handicap

Sky Bet paying 3 places instead of 2

Letsbefrank

This can go to LETSBEFRANK, who has improved with each start since sent handicapping and should benefit from this longer trip. The reapplication of headgear looks a good move for Godsend and he is feared most, whilst the consistent Knights Affair is also respected. 

Sky Bet Extra Places Every Day Handicap

Sky Bet paying 4 places instead of 3

See That Storm

Highwaygrey

COCKALORUM still looks feasibly treated and arrives in top form. He gets the nod in a tricky-looking handicap. See That Storm and Unplugged rate the principal dangers. 

Sky Bet Request A Bet Handicap

Dream Composer

American Affair

VANTHEMAN confirmed the promise of his efforts in some strong 3-y-o handicaps when scoring over C&D 4 weeks ago and he appeals as the type to go well again from his revised mark. American Affair continues to thrive and was only just foiled in his bid for the £100,000 bonus at Haydock 2 weeks ago. He's a big threat, as is Dream Composer re-united with Joe Leavy.

Sky Bet Acca Freeze Fillies' Handicap

May Blossom

The Waiting Game

Winning Point

Cases can be made for the majority of these, but they don't come much more unexposed than WINNING POINT, who proved a different proposition from her debut when scoring at Lingfield last month and is open to further progress now heading down the handicap route. Bella Kopella wasted no time getting back to form recently, so she heads up the dangers, with May Blossom and recent C&D winner A Girl Named Ivy rounding off the shortlist. 

Southwell

Newark Advertiser Apprentice Handicap

Petra Celera

Embarked

Airshow

A number of these arrive with a question mark against them so this looks a good opportunity for Ruth Carr's STREAK LIGHTNING to gain an overdue success having not enjoyed the rub of the green when eighth at Thirsk last time out. C&D winner Airshow is next on the list ahead of 3-y-o duo Master Franca and Super Hit. 

Ambitions Personnel Rita Haggar Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

Lattaash

Leadman

Melanies Joy

Andrew Balding's son of Kingman LEADMAN possesses by far the best form on offer so is confidently expected to make light of his absence and get off the mark after filling the runner-up spot three times in a row. Karl Burke's newcomer Lattaash could emerge as the main danger, although Richard Fahey's returning Boyd Crowder is another who could have a say. Genta and Jaamir also command respect on their respective debuts. 

B+K DBS Southwell Racecourse Refurb Nursery

Art Design

Monomyth

Saytarr

ART DESIGN takes a significant drop in class following her respectable nursery debut third at Newmarket 15 days ago and William Haggass' filly is very much of interest on tapeta debut. Doncaster scorer Monomyth appeals as the type to do better still and he's a big threat, along with another last-time-out winner, Leyhaimur.

Woolley Bros. Wholesale Meats Handicap

Legend Of Kings

Path To Dubai

Evening Story

LEGEND OF KINGS appeals as the type to do better in handicap company and gets the nod in an open-looking contest. Croeso Cymraeg and Aiming High can also make their presence felt. 

Play Southwell Golf Club Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)

Durham Castle

Caffu Zafeen

Canon's House

DURHAM CASTLE shaped well when third in what was a decent Yarmouth maiden back in May and looks the one to beat with the potential for better. Walson's Law pulled too hard at Newmarket on his debut and should do much better dropped to sprinting, with Canon's House another to consider. 

Coopers Marquees Handicap (Div 1)

Katie G

Alibi Warning

She'sashambles

ALIBI WARNING confirmed her return to form when runner-up in a Wolverhampton minor event 26 days ago and she gets the narrow vote to go one place better returned to handicap company. Brighton winner Nelson Rose and Madame Fenella are others to consider along with Ifonlytheycudtalk. 

Coopers Marquees Handicap (Div 2)

Due Date

Glory Call

Tickets

DUE DATE has already hit the target on 3 occasions this year and, provided he's able to put a lesser effort behind him, Charlie Wallis' 4-y-o is fancied to go in again at the expense of Evoluir, who has finished runner-up twice on the all-weather this summer and the return to sprinting should be in his favour. Glory Call can edge out Willowbank for third spot. 

Wathba Stallions Cup - Handicap - Arab Race

Victoria (A)

Tramore

Peter Queally Memorial Maiden Hurdle

Expound

Brilliant Light

Joueuse Royale

IMMELMAN was below his best on the back of 10 months off on the Flat at Galway 18 days ago but he very much appeals as the type to make his mark over hurdles for his top NH yard and he could be worth siding with to show the benefit of his latest run and come out on top. Brilliant Light, the returning Zefania and Expound are others to consider.

Frank Gillane Memorial Handicap Hurdle (80-95)

Mater Matuta

Banada Bridge

Fort Randall

Sayitfirst

Loads in with chances but it could pay to side with MATER MATUTA, who was successful over the larger obstacles here in May and shaped as if still in good form back hurdling when third at Downpatrick subsequently. Small Money was gambled on returning from 18 months off at Wexford recently and with that outing under his belt, he could provide most resistance. Fort Randall, How Decc and Chutzpal (should he get a run) are all fancied to go well, too. 

Tramore Amusements Maiden Hurdle

Marv Michael

Isle Of Sark

Coole Cherry

Willie Mullins looks to hold a strong hand here and his COOLE CHERRY is fancied to take a big step forward now her stamina is drawn out more and open her account. Stablemate Where's Nanny appeals as the chief danger on her hurdles bow with Marv Michael and Suttons Hill appealing as the pick of the rest for minor honours. 

Victoria House Tramore Mares Beginners Chase

Space Tourist

A Penny A Hundred

Costanuci

Preference is for MISS TEMPO, who remains low mileage in this sphere and arrives on back of good third at Wexford. Space Tourist and Costanuci should also go well. 

McCarthy's Irish Bar Lexington Handicap Chase

Lake Chad

Natural Breeze

Smitty Bacall

GARDE LA PECHE is going the right way over the larger obstacles and remains fairly treated. She is fancied to score. Tullyveery Lad and Natural Breeze head the list of dangers. 

Heinz Pollmeier Memorial Handicap Chase (0-102)

Just Jacob

Erigmoor

Prince Of Air

ERIGMOOR did too much too soon at Downpatrick last time and is worth another chance to build previous promise back from a break and down in trip. Falcon Park responded well to this headgear when finally off the mark at Wexford so must be respected on only his third start for this yard, with Ricky Langford another to consider having stopped the slide last time. 

Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Flat Race

Parga Diamond

Diamond Tipp

Music Of Life

EL FABIENNE is proving expensive to follow but is just about the form pick here so is worth another chance with a tongue strap applied. Her stablemate Marie's March is an interesting newcomer, while Parga Diamond and Joshua's Daylami should be in the mix.
