Snellen

Pearls And Rubies

Golden Mind

Oddyssey

Aidan O'Brien has won 4 of the last 7 runnings and in PEARLS AND RUBIES has a very exciting filly who can land the spoils. She oozed class when overcoming inexperience to make a winning start at Navan and is sure to improve for this stiffer test. La Guarida looked very good herself when scoring at Goodwood and can progress upped in trip. Golden Mind, a half-brother to Perfect Power who won at this meeting in 2021 and 2022, is also of firm interest after his Leicester victory.

Jersey Stakes (Group 3)

Sky Bet paying 5 places instead of 3

SKY BET EXTRA PLACE RACE

Age Of Kings

Zoology

Streets Of Gold

COVEY marked himself down as a pattern-class performer in the making when blowing apart a competitive Haydock handicap in a good time 4 weeks ago and interestingly pitched in here by his leading stable, he's expected to make a bold bid to make it 4 wins from 5 starts. The Antarctic ran out a good winner of a Group 3 on his latest outing and is feared, along with the unbeaten Enfjaar. Olivia Maralda and Mysterious Night also make each-way appeal.

Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes (Group 1) (British Champions Series)

Khaadem

Sacred

Highfield Princess

With conditions likely to be on the quick side, Australian-raider ARTORIUS makes the most appeal. He was a strong-finishing third in this race last year and looked better than ever when successful in a Group 1 at Randwick in March. Wellington is another from overseas who is high on the shortlist, while everything is in place for another big run from Rohaan at this meeting. 

Hardwicke Stakes (Group 2)

Pyledriver

West Wind Blows

FREE WIND's Middleton Stakes form received a boost when the runner-up took the Duke of Cambridge earlier in the week and George Strawbridge's 5-y-o can mark herself down as a contender for top honours in the second half of this season by claiming the scalp of last month's Brigadier Gerard winner Hukum. Deauville Legend may prove best of the remainder. 

Wokingham Stakes (Heritage Handicap)

Sky Bet paying 8 places instead of 4

Saint Lawrence

Apollo One

Juan Les Pins

Mums Tipple

ORAZIO has looked a colt destined for pattern company this season and remains ahead of the handicapper despite being hit with a 9 lb rise for his impressive C&D success so gets the vote. Bielsa seemed right back to his best when resuming winning ways at York's Dante meeting and rates the chief threat to Charlie Hills's low-mileage 4-y-o, although Khanjar could have a big say too if the fitting of cheekpieces has the desired effect. Lethal Levi and Spirit of Light complete the shortlist. 

Golden Gates Stakes (Handicap)

Sky Bet paying 6 places instead of 4

Burdett Road

Lion Of War

Local Dynasty

Frankie Dettori's final Royal Ascot ride is KNOCKBREX and Charlie Johnston's charge might just be up to providing the fairytale ending. His early-season novice form is strong and for a good part of his 1½m York handicap debut he looked a horse ahead of his mark, a point he can prove back down at 1¼m. Canute is feared most on the back of his cosy Navan success. The selection's stablemate Lion of War should relish the step back up in trip and also makes the shortlist along with Have Secret. 

Queen Alexandra Stakes (Conditions Race)

Dawn Rising

The Grand Visir

Run For Oscar

DAWN RISING has displayed plenty of talent over hurdles and is firmly expected to improve for this longer trip, so he takes marginal preference over Stratum, who is going for a hat-trick in this. Falcon Eight has plenty of class and should come on for his rather laboured effort in the Chester Cup.

Newmarket

Join Racing TV Now British EBF Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

Ancient Wisdom

Never So Brave

ANCIENT WISDOM couldn't have created a better impression on debut at Haydock two weeks ago, and he's very hard to oppose even under a penalty. Travolta has plenty to find with the selection, but shaped encouragingly on his Yarmouth debut and should progress. Never So Brave cost a pretty packet as a yearling and is an interesting newcomer.

Winners Wear House Of Cavani Fillies' Handicap

Sophia's Starlight

Just Janet

Torfrida

Plenty arrive with claims, including SOPHIA'S STARLIGHT who ran well when third over further at Chester 7 days ago, that despite possibly making her effort earlier than ideal. The return to sprinting won't inconvenience her on that evidence and all looks set fair for another big run. My Delilah and Torfrida look the dangers.

Winners Wear House Of Cavani British EBF Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

Imperial Emperor

Sniper's Eye

IMPERIAL EMPEROR looked a good prospect when scoring with plenty in hand on debut at Newmarket in October so is taken to defy a penalty and extend his unbeaten record. Sniper's Eye shaped really well when fourth on the Rowley Mile 5 weeks ago so rates a serious threat, while Battista can be expected to leave his Kempton debut behind. 

Winners Wear House Of Cavani Handicap

King Eagle

Traila

Low-mileage 4-y-o KING EAGLE has gone up 8 lb for his Bath success on debut for Nicky Henderson in April, but that rise is fair considering that the first two pulled nicely clear of the rest. Furthermore, there's a good chance that he will progress again upped to this trip. Temporize has been absent since January but will be a threat off this tempting mark if fully tuned-up, while Red Flyer, who was just touched off in a hot C&D handicap last summer, also has claims.

Racing TV Handicap

Ararat

Marinara

Bishop's Crown

A few with chances but WILDE AND DANDY looks ahead of his mark under a 6 lb penalty for his recent stylish Doncaster success and is fancied to go in again. Red Treasure resumed better than ever when scoring at Yarmouth and is next on the list, with Concert Boy and Marinara both in the picture too. 

Visit racingtv.com Handicap

Magical Max

Danzart

Hot Chesnut

The well-handicapped ALIBABA is worth a chance to build on an encouraging run at Beverley last time. Cubanista has had the form of his latest Yarmouth second boosted by the winner going in and he'll be a threat if the blinkers work as well a second time. The thriving Danzart should also be on the premises. 

Every Race Live On Racing TV Handicap

Temple Bruer

Ataser

The Green Man

THE GREEN MAN arrives on a hat-trick having powered away at York last time and, in a less-competitive event, he's fancied to defy another rise. Above showed more encouraging signs last time, so he's regarded as a threat, while Ernie's Valentine can't be ruled out.

EBF Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)

Jehangeer

Nighteyes

Golden Trick

The well-bred JEHANGEER found only Tuesday's Coventry second Army Ethos too good first time up here last month and is hard to get away from with improvement on the way. Our Havana also brings Royal Ascot form to the table having shaped as if better for the run in a Redcar race that contained the Windsor Castle winner. A Girl Named Ivy cost a bit and might be the pick of the newcomers in what could be an informative maiden.

Unite The Union Celebrating Our Successes Handicap

Sir Titus

Sound Reason

Kuwait City

SHOWALONG has tumbled down the weights and confirmed the promise of his reappearance run when scoring with a bit to spare at Nottingham 6 weeks ago. Remaining with a good deal of scope from a handicapping perspective, he earns the vote to follow up. Sir Titus ran well on his return at Beverley in April and is feared, along with York-scorer Kuwait City.

Bridgend Motor Group Handicap

B Associates

Yorkstone

Dee See Are

YORKSTONE caught the eye at Beverley 2 weeks ago, finishing with running left under an inexperienced rider, and looks the type to win handicaps. The thriving B Associates was only just denied the 4-timer at Doncaster on Sunday so is next best ahead of Run Cmc, who was headed only in the dying strides at Wetherby 11 days ago. 

Unite Scotland's Farewell To Pat Rafferty Handicap

Kihavah

Prydwen

Nolton Cross

KIHAVAH has taken his form to another level this season, landing big-field handicaps at York on his last two starts in this sphere, either side of scoring over hurdles at Market Rasen. This demands a new personal-best but the 6-y-o may well be equal to the task. Last year's winner Dark Jedi failed to fire last time but he will have every chance if on-song. The veterans Euchen Glen and Sir Chauvelin both warrant respect, too.

Unite The Union Thanking Our Members EBF Land O'Burns Fillies' Stakes (Fillies' And Mares' Listed)

Makarova

Marine Wave

Royal Aclaim

NYMPHADORA takes a step up in grade but still looks the way to go on the back of her career-best Chester handicap success which gives her good form claims. Royal Aclaim wasn't at her best in the Temple Stakes at Haydock last time but still merits respect back in these calmer waters, while Funny Story shouldn't be underestimated on the back of her Nottingham victory. 

David MacDonald Is 50 Handicap

Novak

The Caltonian

Huddle Up

It's probably best to overlook PAPA COCKTAIL's latest effort at Beverley where he was poorly drawn. The 4-y-o won three on the bounce prior to that and he is taken to get back on track with another victory. Novak is bidding to complete the hat-trick and he is second choice ahead of Summer Sands, who shaped with encouragement on his reappearance at Thirsk and has slipped to a potentially very handy mark. Huddle Up is also in with a shout.

Book Bounce Bingo At Ayr Racecourse Classified Stakes

Clarinbridge

Willing To Please

Bonito Cavalo

WILLIING TO PLEASE was strong in the betting prior to a poor run at Carlisle last time and she'd been shaping up well previously, so she gets the nod ahead of Bonito Cavalo, who is in good heart but needs to prove his stamina. Jkr Cobbler should also be on the premises.

Perth

Perth Supports Racing With Pride Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Gortmillish

The Sad Shepherd

Not a strong maiden hurdle and the returning GORTMILLISH can give Gordon Elliott another Perth victory hot on the back of his 4 winners at the last meeting. Kellyiscool looks the danger.

Martin Pibworth Half Century Stakes Novices' Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Petrastar

DRAGON ROCK jumped better as the race wore on when second in a 3-runner handicap on chase bow at Bangor 2 weeks ago and, with progress anticipated, he could well be up to going one place better. Cardamon Hill, on chase debut, may emerge as the chief threat, ahead of Petrastar.

Bet In Running With BetVictor Handicap Hurdle

Themanintheboots

Minella Youngy

Malangen

MINELLA YOUNGY ran much better than for a while from a sliding mark when runner-up at Hexham last week so could be ready to strike with the return to further expected to suit. Man of The House caught the eye for a long way at Kilbeggan last time so may emerge as the biggest threat ahead of Balranald.  

Visit raceday-ready.com Handicap Chase

Captain Ivan

LERMOOS LEGEND again left the impression that his turn is near when chasing home the in-form Blueberry Wine at Aintree and he is taken to deservedly get his head back in front. It's likely that the selection will have most to fear from Captain Ivan, who is greatly respected despite going up 8 lb for his recent Southwell success. Sao isn't the most reliable nowadays but he's certainly capable of a bold show off this sort of mark.

racingtv.com/freetrial Kilmany Handicap Chase

Saint Arvans

Presentandcounting

BALLYKEEL has a career-high mark to overcome but still looks the way to go on the back of his idling C&D success. Course-winner Presentandcounting rates much the biggest threat, with Saint Arvans appealing as the pick of the remainder for minor honours. 

Perthshire Pride Saturday 26th August Handicap Hurdle

Garde Des Champs

Gavin

A further 3 lb rise may not prevent RUSSIAN VIRTUE going in again and confirming recent C&D superiority over Garde Des Champs. Gavin and Trebizond, who respectively bid for 4 and 3 wins in a row, should also have a say in a competitive heat. 

BetVictor Betting After The 'Off' Handicap Hurdle

Doune Castle

Rickety Gate

COOL CROI wasn't ideally placed when third over C&D last time and, with few miles on the clock, she's expected to build on that, so she gets the nod over Pammi, who boasts an excellent course record. Ultra Violet is also considered.

Redcar

Download The Vickers.Bet App EBF Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

Brave Empire

Dark Encounter

Woodleigh

BRAVE EMPIRE cost plenty as a yearling and showed a good attitude when winning at Windsor last time, so looks capable of defying a penalty here. Blue Point colt Indivar also showed promise amidst inexperience on his debut at Ayr, with Destiny Maker most appealing of the newcomers.

Best Prices Guaranteed Daily At Vickers.Bet Handicap

Mirrie Dancers

Marbuzet

Spantik

MARBUZET was a dual winner last season and seems to running himself back into form, so is fancied to build on his recent Leicester third and notch his first win of the year. Mirrie Dancers and Pound Off You both made successful returns from notable absences last time and are most feared if they are able to replicate those efforts here.

Vickers.Bet 'Confined' Handicap

Tacitus

Strictly Dreaming

Revoquable

HIDDEN CODE ran well at Carlisle earlier this month and is highly respected with headgear now applied, whilst Beverley-winner Jazz Samba arrives on the back of another good performance and is another player despite a less-than-ideal draw.

Host & Stay Handicap

Cruyff Turn

Hickory

Top of the list is MUDAMER, who shaped well in a big-field York handicap last month and he is lurking on an attractive mark. Woven didn't have things run to suit at Ayr and is one to be interested in based on his reappearance success at Doncaster. Gioia Cieca and Hickory are others to consider.

Market Cross Jewellers Handicap

Russet Gold

Paddy's Day

An open handicap so it is worth siding with Roger Varian's RUSSET GOLD, who didn't enjoy the rub of the green when eleventh at Epsom on his return and can bounce back in style now to capitalise on an attractive mark. Let's Go Hugo arrives in good nick and seems sure to have a say along with recent Haydock scorer Match Play. 

Vickers.Bet Proudly Supporting British Racing Restricted Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

Oneforsue

Sidney's Son

Grant Tuer's ROOSKA stepped forward when runner-up in a C&D maiden last month and shouldn't need to improve much further to get off the mark. Oneforsue and Sidney's Son are more exposed but the former sets a fair standard and looks best placed to take advantage if the selection underperforms.

Join Our Vickers.Bet Customer Racing Club Handicap

Spirit In My Soul

Glendown

Aurora Glory

GLENDOWN is lightly raced and found improvement when runner-up at Haydock last time, so he takes preference over Bryce, who arrives on the back of a solid showing at Wetherby. Jack of Clubs is likely to bounce back from a poor run, so he's another one to consider. Spirit In My Soul starts out for a new yard with blinkers fitted, so she's worth monitoring in the betting.

Haydock

Lydiate Restricted Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)

Chronograph

Weigh Anchor

A poor maiden on paper and a good opportunity for CHRONOGRAPH to open his account having gone close from the front at Chester. Newcomer Eagle Fang might be a danger.

victoriagarage.com EBF Fillies' Handicap

Grace Angel

Lil Guff

May Blossom

Having resumed winning ways on her penultimate start, ANGLE LAND was far from disgraced when sixth in the 'Dash' at Epsom 3 weeks ago, and with her rider taking off a handy 5 lb, she could be worth siding with. The hat-trick seeking Lil Guff and May Blossom can also feature.

Juddmonte EBF Restricted Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

Chaturanga

Rockstar Icon

Gray's Inn

CHATURANGA looked a good prospect when justifying strong support at Redcar last month and is taken to defy a penalty. The other penalised-winner Nellie Leylax is worth another chance to confirm debut promise so is feared most. 

MB Health Handicap

Bringbackmemories

Aqwaam

Sea Grey

The vote goes to SEA GREY, who hasn't fired on all cylinders the last twice but he is of strong interest returned to the C&D over which he was a good second in April. Magical Mile s next on the list ahead of Golden Melody, while Tarbaan also needs a second look off this reduced mark.

Lathom Handicap

Jo's Rainbow

Gifted Angel

Moush

PEARL EYE gained a first turf win here before running a cracker in defeat at Pontefract when conceding first run to the winner so looks the way to go. Handicap-debutant Letaba looks to have better days ahead of him and could emerge as the main threat, although in-form duo Tremendous Times and Lillistar could easily have a say too in an intriguing handicap. 

Bickerstaffe Handicap

Young Fire

Bowland Park

Alexander James

CASSY O served notice that he's ready to strike again at Doncaster last weekend and is preferred to Sunglasses, who surely has more to offer now switching to handicaps after very promising efforts in maiden/novice company. Dual C&D winner Bowland Park is well treated on his best form and is one to note in the betting on his reappearance.
