Albany Stakes (Fillies' Group 3)

Sky Bet - Money Back as Cash if 2nd, 3rd, 4th OR 5th

SKY BET MONEY BACK OFFER

Fairy Godmother

Simmering

Heavens Gate

MOUNTAIN BREEZE and Fairy Godmother stand out on form and might fight this out, with the first-named marginally preferred given she's still open to significant improvement. Loads of others have potential but Simmering might be the pick of them after an eye-catching debut in a strong race.

Commonwealth Cup (Group 1) (British Champions Series)

Sky Bet paying 5 places instead of 3

SKY BET EXTRA PLACE RACE

Inisherin

Lake Forest

Jasour

Sheikh Mohammed Obaid holds a really strong hand, with easy Sandy Lane winner INISHERIN preferred to Elite Status, who was equally impressive from the front in a Newbury listed race last time. Jasour, whose connections know what it takes to win this, was a ready winner of the trial over C&D at the start of last month and looks best of the remainder. 

Coronation Stakes (Fillies' Group 1) (British Champions Stakes) (Rnd)

Sky Bet paying 4 places instead of 3

Porta Fortuna

Opera Singer

Ramatuelle

A cracking race in store and with 1m round a bend promising to be right up RAMATUELLE's street, she's taken to reverse the 1000 Guineas form with Elmalka and Porta Fortuna having been worn down late by that pair at Newmarket. In fact, a bigger threat may emerge in the shape of Opera Singer, who was the best of these at 2 yrs and is sure to step up on her Irish Guineas run. 

Duke Of Edinburgh Stakes (Handicap)

Crystal Black

Epic Poet

Ziggy

Ethical Diamond

ETHICAL DIAMOND continued his theme of race-by-race progress on his first start on the Flat for his top NH stable when narrowly denied by another upwardly mobile sort at Leopardstown 6 weeks ago and, with the step back up in trip holding no fears, he makes plenty of appeal under Ryan Moore. Last month's Curragh 1-2 Crystal Black and Deakin bolster a strong Irish challenge and are feared, with returning Shadow Dance another to note. Bague d'Or and Vaguely Royal also make each-way appeal.

Sandringham Stakes (Fillies' Handicap) (Str)

Sky Bet paying 8 places instead of 4

Soprano

Strutting

Uluru

Indelible

INDELIBLE ran out a ready winner on her return at Doncaster and that race has a strong look to it. She could be well ahead of her mark now handicapping, entries in the Falmouth and Irish Oaks catching the eye, and she's hard to get away from. The progressive Fair Angellica is a likely contenders, while Without Words might be the pick of a strong Irish challenge.

King Edward VII Stakes (Group 2)

Calandagan

Space Legend

Royal Supremacy

SPACE LEGEND would have surely run out a comfortable winner with a clear passage in a listed event at Goodwood last month and, with further progress on the cards, he's taken to gain compensation in this higher grade. Theory of Tides defied a penalty in the manner of a fine prospect at Yarmouth and looks very interesting pitched into better company, with Ballydoyle pair Agenda and Diego Velazquez completing the shortlist. 

Palace Of Holyroodhouse Stakes (Handicap)

Sky Bet paying 7 places instead of 3

Pilgrim

Blue Storm

No Half Measures

Woodhay Wonder

The biggest field yet of this competitive 3-y-o handicap and the suggestion is MUKAAFAH, who left his disappointing reappearance behind in no uncertain terms at Doncaster last month and Kevin Philippart de Foy's colt looks the sort that can climb the ranks quickly. Dorney Lake looks a serious threat now handicapping, so he heads up the opposition, with Vantheman, Pilgrim, Jubilee Walk and Dyrholaey all seemingly having plenty going for them, too. 

Market Rasen

ABP Handicap Hurdle

Can't Beat History

Bullion Boss

Konfusion

SUPREME YEATS got taken out of the race through no fault of his own here last time and can show he's still on a good mark for his new stable. The hat-trick seeking Barrons Land looks the obvious threat ahead of Shantou Lucky. 

ABP Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

G A Henty

A Definite Getaway

School Days Over

G A HENTY bounced back to form when third at Warwick last month and, with the step back up in trip likely to suit, he's the percentage call to get off the mark. School Days Over ran no sort of race on his most recent outing over fences, but still needs considering back over the smaller obstacles judged on the pick of his form, while recent point winner Call Her Clever and Cooler Than Me need keeping an eye on in the betting. 

ABP Handicap Chase

A Dublin Job

Hollington

Miladygrace

IMPERIAL RULE created an excellent impression (equipped with a first-time hood) when making a winning chase debut at Perth, able to overcome a troubled passage and quickening to lead close home. Completely unexposed in this sphere, he makes plenty of appeal in his follow-up bid from a 4 lb higher mark. Fellow chase debutant winner A Dublin Job is another with more to offer and he's the chief threat. The returning Miladygrace and Reines des Tartes are others worth a look.

ABP Mares' Handicap Hurdle

River Robe

Billams Legacy

Game Beaaa

BILLAMS LEGACY rates just the pick of these weights so is fancied to gain a deserved victory and end a run of six consecutive second placings. Handicap-debutante Vivid Pink appeals as the one to give Fergal O'Brien's mare most to do, although River Robe can also have a say now starting out for Dan Skelton after breathing surgery.   

ABP 'Summer Plate Trial' Handicap Chase

Yccs Portocervo

Vintage Fizz

Mylesfromwicklow

Lots with chances. WHISTLEINTHEDARK can boast a C&D success and has slipped to a handy-looking mark so edges the vote with this return to a shorter trip also in his favour. Dan Skelton's Mylesfromwicklow is feared most, especially if a breathing op ekes out some improvement, while Northern Bound and Vintage Fizz are both weighted to have a say too. Mulberry Hill completes the shortlist after her recent spin over hurdles.  

ABP & Humber Freeport Handicap Hurdle (Div 1)

Warner's Cross

Zuul

Climate Precedent

CLIMATE PRECEDENT travelled smoothly and easily went clear when making a winning start for this yard at Stratford earlier in the week and, if the race doesn't come too soon, he should be able to brush aside a penalty. Getaway With You also arrives on the back of a positive start for a new yard and Zuul is one to consider.

ABP & Humber Freeport Handicap Hurdle (Div 2)

Chemical Warfare

Lenebane

Fenney Brook

SPOT ON SOPH was better than ever when winning here a week ago and could defy a rise in a thin race. Chemical Warfare is a danger back over hurdles and Crossbeau should give another good account.

Redcar

Racing TV Free Trial Handicap

Indie Skies

Alseeyerthere

We Still Believe

SUNNY ORANGE took his form up a notch when going in at Beverley last time and a 5 lb penalty doesn't look sufficient to prevent him from following up. C&D winner Alseeyerthere is feared most, with in-form duo Indie Skies and Rockin Rosa both firmly in the picture too.

Free Racing TV At racingtv.com/freetrial Handicap

Kode Secret

Titainium

Salaamaat

KODE SECRET looks the way to go at these weights on the back of his improved showing when scoring at Carlisle. Pearl Sands appeals as the main danger to Tim Easterby's 3-y-o, with Socialise and Salaamaat also in the mix. 

In Loving Memory Of Michael Wood Handicap

La Trinidad

Akkadian Thunder

Cruyff Turn

Competitive stuff but the eye is drawn to CRUYFF TURN, who took a step back in the right direction at Nottingham 3 weeks ago and is very well weighted having won a 7f handicap from 5 lb higher at this meeting a year ago. James McHenry and La Trinidad are just a couple of potential threats.

Celebrate The Life Of Joe Newton Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

Midnite Storm

James Webb

Legend Of Kings

CASTLE COVE created a very favourable impression when making a winning start at Leicester last month, and with plenty of improvement forthcoming, he can defy a penalty. James Webb found only a Haggas-trained rival too good and the same scenario may well play out again, with Midnite Storm another to consider on account of his solid form in handicaps. 

Start Your Racing TV Free Trial Handicap

Financer

The Hun

Rocket Warrior

A case can be made for all 5, with THE HUN just about the most persuasive option having finished an excellent second in first-time blinkers at Chester. Tatateo may have more to offer on turf so is feared, with Financer a very likely improver now handicapping back up in trip. 

Come Racing On Ladies' Day Tomorrow Maiden Handicap

Ingleby Archie

Split The Profit

Jenni

Back at a more realistic level, SPLIT THE PROFIT quickly returned to form when runner-up at Windsor on Monday and a repeat of that performance will see him bang there again. Mecca's Duchess is a solid rival, with Pendlebury Lane the potential improver in the race now handicapping. 

Goodwood

William Hill Lengthen Your Odds Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)

Soldier's Heart

Invincible Song

Maximus Alexios

SOLDIER'S HEART chased home one who ran well in the Coventry on his Lingfield debut and should take a bit of stopping unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding one of the newcomers. Kalahari Blue has a useful pedigree and gets a tentative vote for the forecast spot before any betting clues are known. 

William Hill Handicap

Belcamo

Cool Legend

ROAD TO WEMBLEY has been freshened up since losing his unbeaten handicap record at Southwell in April and is taken to resume his progression. Cool Legend should find this a little easier than the handicaps he's contested at the York Dante and Epsom Derby meetings and is second choice ahead of David Simcock handicap newcomer Lord Chamberlain. 

Degen Distillery X Michel13 Handicap

Mr Freedom

Premiere Ligne

MR FREEDOM was pulled up in the Swinton Hurdle at Haydock last time but Sheena West's 5-y-o, who did really well on the Flat last year, is not the type to stay down for long. He's selected ahead of last month's Lingfield scorer Premiere Ligne and Lexington Knight.. 

William Hill Epic Boost Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)

Tactician

Open Secret

Poncho

OPEN SECRET put up a fair showing for a long way in a decent-looking 3-y-o handicap over this trip at Doncaster 3 weeks ago and could be the way to go back in a maiden with a promising 7 lb claimer taking over. Tactician can improve over this longer trip and looks the big danger.

Degen Distillery X Jaspercool Handicap

Christian David

Celtic Warrior

DASHINWHITESARGENT upped his game at Epsom on handicap debut and looks the sort to go on progressing, so he's marginally preferred to American Bay who looks capable of better. Get The Music On is another big player if fully effective on turf.

William Hill Pick Your Places Handicap

Grandlad

ENCHANTING made all in good style here last week and she can follow up under a penalty if in the same form. Grandlad, the other C&D winner in the field, could be the danger.

Newmarket

Long Shot Refreshment Banker Fillies' Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

Biniorella Bay

Bintabuha

A tricky opener to solve despite the small field but the vote goes to BINIORELLA BAY, who found just one too strong on debut at Lingfield recently and is entitled to build on that initial effort. Wathbah was a few places behind the selection that day and she may emerge as the main danger ahead of Theatrically, who has experience on her side and could improve for this step up in trip. 

Long Shot Refresher Handicap

Global Asset

Berkshire Nugget

Great Chieftain

GLOBAL ASSET resumed with an excellent Windsor second and can go one better now and open his account at the chief expense of Great Chieftain, who also arrives on the back of a good runner-up finish at Nottingham. Berkshire Nugget and Sheila's Paradise also need factoring in. 

Long Shot Summer Seltzer Handicap

Midnight Gun

Mythical Guest

MIDNIGHT GUN boasts a smashing pedigree and took a step forward switched to turf when a cosy winner of a Nottingham novice 6 weeks ago. The type to go on progressing in handicaps, he makes plenty of appeal on just his fourth start. Mythical Guest, who is 2-3 this campaign, is next best down in trip, ahead of Speeding Bullet and Makeen.

Long Shot Seltzer Spring British EBF Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

Burrito

Rhetorical

RHETORICAL looked a smart prospect when easily seeing off a subsequent winner on debut at Newbury 5 weeks ago and can make it 2-2 before having his sights raised. This has the look of a good contest for the grade though, with fellow last-time-out winners Specialisation, More Thunder and Ciro di Marzio all likely to improve also.

Long Shot Berry Breeze Handicap

Rebaatt

Chaturanga

REBAATT well and truly confirmed previous promise when running out an emphatic winner at Chester 7 days ago and he should prove very tough to beat under a penalty. Big Zou and Chaturanga are the lead threats.

Fizz Cup Classic Handicap

Wonder Kid

Turing

WONDER KID proved an all-round improved model as he made a winning return/handicap debut over this trip at Newbury 8 days ago without looking the finished article and he looks the one to side with under a penalty with the prospect of more to come. Sir Galahad and Livinthelife are others fancied to be in the mix.

Down Royal

Tote Guarantee Available On Course & Tote.ie Maiden

Shamrock Breeze

Billie Be Quick

Sharkii

KILMOOD SUSAN stuck to her task really well when second at Tipperary 3 weeks ago and with further improvement likely, a maiden such as this ought to be within range. Powerful Lady wasn't seen to best effect last time so that run is easy to excuse, while the speedy Billie Be Quick also needs considering. 

Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Handicap

She's Quality

Greek Flower

Beatrix Power

AURORA NOVA takes on sterner opposition to that faced when successful at Fairyhouse 7 days ago but the manner of that victory highlighted she's operating firmly at the top of her game, so she earns the vote to defy the handicapper and follow up. Beatrix Potter and She's Quality, down in grade, are others to consider.

Willwego.com Handicap (47-70)

Comein Comein

Emerald Harmony

Elliott

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and  MARY SHOELACES rates the pick of these weights so gets the nod. Handicap-debutante Lady Daar appeals as a likely improver for Gavin Cromwwell so could emerge as the chief threat ahead of the handily-weighted She's Smart.   

G Dunlop Electrical Handicap

Keke

Cuban Grey

Havana Notion

Realtin Fantasy

KEKE had a bit up his sleeve when seeing off Eruption at Navan 13 days ago and can defy a 6 lb rise in his mark under Billy Lee. Matthew Smith's charge may give him most to do again, ahead of Cuban Grey and Marble Angel. 

SBD Events Pro Median Auction Maiden

Iowntheball

Kodi's Angel

Withoutfurtherado

IOWNTHEBALL made a positive start when third at the Curragh on debut and he can put his experience to good use against mostly newcomers. Calcifer and Heishybrid both make some appeal on paper.

Pravha Handicap (50-80)

Red Heel

Giuseppe Cassioli

Distillate

GUISEPPE CASSIOLI produced his best effort for some time when scoring at Leopardstown 8 days ago and he's still feasibly treated on the pick of his past efforts, so can follow up at the possible expense of Distillate, who was better than the result in a more competitive race at the Curragh 16 days ago. Boadicea Belle is another one to consider for all that she's not the most consistent.

Laura Nicholas Memorial Handicap (47-65)

Blue Wood

The Stray Sod

Clarinbridge

SAFFREDI shaped much better than the bare result on handicap debut at Leopardstown last week, keeping on when badly hampered over 1f out, and looks to have a bigger effort in the locker. He gets the vote over Hijo de La Luna and Navorrosse.
