    4-10 Goodwood
    Keep Bidding (6/4) has been a model of consistency so far this season and has so far been somewhat unfortunate not to get her head in front already. If improving for that most recent run following a two-month break, the daughter of Ribchester ought to take some stopping. Ralph Beckett won this race under similar going conditions when Lullaby Moon struck. She really ought to have won that race last time at Kempton but for hanging badly left across the track. All being well Rob Hornby can prevent a repeat of those circumstances and the filly can finally shed her maiden tag.
     
    4-41 Redcar
    Taritino (6/5) showed significant improvement when taking a step up from his debut at Lingfield to record a first ever career success last time at this track. Prominent from the very outset, the son of Buratino made all the running over a full furlong further. This slight step back in trip should not prove to be too much of an inconvenience and Stefano Cherchi maintains the ride for Amy Murphy. That form is head and shoulders above what any of his experienced rivals have produced on the racetrack thus far and he should prove a tough nut to crack.
     
    5-25 Curragh
    Karaoke (7/4) has been progressive in her two starts to date so far. Having made her debut at Gowran Park over seven furlongs, she then stepped back to six next time out and asserted herself to beat Alabama Pearl by a little under a length at Dundalk last time. This marks her handicap debut and Joseph has asked a five-pound claimer to take the ride and alleviate some of her weight. The daughter of Acclamation looks the type to progress again and she can go onto bigger and brighter things.

    Another day that saw followers rewarded when the first selection YOUARENOTFORGIVEN won at recommended odds of 7/1. SEA ON TIME also won at recommended odds of 7/4. Another two winners in the treble that was let down dreadfully by Nelson's Rock who failed to give his true running. Idoapologise and and Ami Des Flots found one too strong in each of their races.
    Tomorrow looks to be an exciting day with the Coral Charge, Distaff and Eclipse all being run at Sandown, whilst the Old Newton Cup and the Lancashire Oaks are just two of the highlights at Haydock Park.
    Selections are listed below.
    TK
    1-50 Sandown 
    Raasel has thrived for these connections since he returned to turf last season, winning a total of six handicaps.  He took his form to another level when landing a listed race at Haydock 5 weeks ago, when sweeping through the pack from off the pace. He looks determined to give this a bold bid with James Doyle on board who has been key to his rapid successes this season. Some of his rivals here are woefully out of form and would need a rapid reversal in fortune to beat him. Well worth a go at this level and looks certain to be a major player. 
    2-25 Sandown 
    Lion Tower has won over this trip on similar ground before at Ayr last season and he has enjoyed a productive campaign when winning four times in total in 2021. He has continued his progression this season and he just had to be kept up to his work when successful over seven furlongs at York a few weeks ago. He has a three-pound rise to contend with here but he has all the right attributes to deal with it. As there are no issues with this trip or ground he has to command utmost respect. 
    3-00 Sandown 
    Heredia remains a highly progressive filly who is unbeaten in four starts. She had something in hand when landing the Sandringham off a career high of 98 last time. She would not benefit from a slowly run race, but she's still a confident choice to maintain her unbeaten record. She scythed through the field last time in breath-taking fashion when landing the Sandringham just over a fortnight ago at Royal Ascot. Whilst the complexion of this race is slightly different, her class should be enough to see her through. 
    3-35 Sandown 
    Native Trail was unbeaten in his first five starts before going down by under a length to stablemate Coroebus in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket. He atoned for that when comfortably landing the Irish equivalent at the Curragh subsequently and he can't be dismissed now stepping up to ten furlongs for the first time. William Buick knows this son of Oasis Dream inside out and the pair have to have every chance of adding to their four previous Group One successes. 
    2-05 Haydock 
    Duty Bound showed immense promise when winning a handicap over one mile and six furlongs at Sandown last month. That was his first attempt at anywhere near that sort of trip and he held off the attentions of Moonlit Bay by a little under two-lengths. He had obviously improved in leaps and bounds from his seasonal reappearance where he was beaten by the well regarded New Comedy. David Probert keeps the ride on this three-year-old son of Kingman. Owned by Her Majesty the Queen he comes here in the form of his life and can give a bold account. 
    2-40 Haydock 
    Free Wind was highly progressive last season and won four out of five starts. The most Impressive of those came in the Park Hill Stakes at Doncaster over a mile and six furlongs. This looks to be a sensible starting point for the daughter of Galileo and having proven herself on this type of ground in the past that cannot be an issue today. Rab Havlin is two from two on her and she is already proven at this level. She has to rate as a serious threat to all. 
    3-15 Haydock 
    Liverpool Knight is a lightly raced four-year-old and he made a winning debut for Kevin Phillipart De Foy last month when lining up in a competitive Windsor handicap. He pulled more than three lengths clear of his rivals including the likes of Liberation Point who was well beaten and has come out to frank the form by winning subsequently at Chester. These middle distance races seem to have brought out the best in him and with every likelihood that he can improve again from his seasonal reappearance, he has to be considered. 
    8-00 Nottingham 
    Holocene can get her career back on track by taking this classified takes. The Cheveley Park owned filly was good enough to win on her debut at Ripon back in May, but she was firmly put in her place on what was her all weather debut at Kempton around three weeks ago. A return to turf should be exactly what she wants and with the William Haggas horses in such excellent form, she has to be shortlist material. 
    2-18 Beverley 
    Coco Jack won a couple of starts ago when shedding his maiden at Hamilton. He then bumped into a more than useful sort at Haydock a fortnight ago in the shape of Dornoch Castle. He has more than enough experience under him to account for some rivals who have as yet to fulfil their potential. Exposed is far from it and looks the chief danger to him, but the Wing Of Eagles gelding can defy top weight here. 
    5-15 Beverley 
    Miss Clementine shed her maiden on her most recent start and no surprise if she progresses again here. Whilst this is a step up in class for the Churchill filly, her previous winning course and distance form ought to see her home in front. Connor Beasley rides her for the first time and Ed Dunlop is enjoying a purple patch at the moment and has trained seven winners in the last three weeks. She us still relatively lightly raced and looks the one they all have to beat here.

He had obviously improved in leaps and bounds from his seasonal reappearance where he was beaten by the well regarded New Comedy. David Probert keeps the ride on this three-year-old son of Kingman. Owned by Her Majesty the Queen he comes here in the form of his life and can give a bold account. 
    2-40 Haydock 
    Free Wind was highly progressive last season and won four out of five starts. The most Impressive of those came in the Park Hill Stakes at Doncaster over a mile and six furlongs. This looks to be a sensible starting point for the daughter of Galileo and having proven herself on this type of ground in the past that cannot be an issue today. Rab Havlin is two from two on her and she is already proven at this level. She has to rate as a serious threat to all. 
    3-15 Haydock 
    Liverpool Knight is a lightly raced four-year-old and he made a winning debut for Kevin Phillipart De Foy last month when lining up in a competitive Windsor handicap. He pulled more than three lengths clear of his rivals including the likes of Liberation Point who was well beaten and has come out to frank the form by winning subsequently at Chester. These middle distance races seem to have brought out the best in him and with every likelihood that he can improve again from his seasonal reappearance, he has to be considered. 
    8-00 Nottingham 
    Holocene can get her career back on track by taking this classified takes. The Cheveley Park owned filly was good enough to win on her debut at Ripon back in May, but she was firmly put in her place on what was her all weather debut at Kempton around three weeks ago. A return to turf should be exactly what she wants and with the William Haggas horses in such excellent form, she has to be shortlist material. 
    2-18 Beverley 
    Coco Jack won a couple of starts ago when shedding his maiden at Hamilton. He then bumped into a more than useful sort at Haydock a fortnight ago in the shape of Dornoch Castle. He has more than enough experience under him to account for some rivals who have as yet to fulfil their potential. Exposed is far from it and looks the chief danger to him, but the Wing Of Eagles gelding can defy top weight here. 
    5-15 Beverley 
    Miss Clementine shed her maiden on her most recent start and no surprise if she progresses again here. Whilst this is a step up in class for the Churchill filly, her previous winning course and distance form ought to see her home in front. Connor Beasley rides her for the first time and Ed Dunlop is enjoying a purple patch at the moment and has trained seven winners in the last three weeks. She us still relatively lightly raced and looks the one they all have to beat here.

    A good winner yesterday in Skittlebombs (BOG 9/1) was followed by sheer frsutration as all three horses nominated for the treble finished in second place. Captain Winters also found one too strong as he was second at Haydock. Some good looking racing coming today with decent cards at Doncaster, Newton Abbott and Sandown.

    1-35 Doncaster

    Youarenotforgiven had his first run for Tony Carroll last time. He is fully entitled to improve for that run and has to be high on any shortlist given that he finished a creditable second of eight runners in handicap at Nottingham just 18 days ago. He had shown precious little for Jamie Osborne in three previous starts so the fact he ran so well first time out for new connections gives hope that he can improve once more. Ray Dawson has been having his fair share of winners lately and he has already partnered a handful of winners for this stable this year. Youarenotforgiven remains unexposed and is capable of more.

    2-00 Newton Abbott

    Ami Des Flots had her first run for Kim Bailey having left the Bernard Martin stable. She clearly benefitted from the move to the new yard as she was an excellent second at Ffos Las over two miles four weeks ago. She will be suited by this step up in trip and will hold major claims given that she is such an unknown quantity against these. The Fergal O’Brien trained Pop The Champagne who beat her on that last occasion has gone on to win again at Worcester giving the form a timely boost. Likely to be prominent from the outset, David Bass will be trying the best he can to improve on that game effort last time.

    2-10 Doncaster

    Sea On Time confirmed the promise that she displayed on debut when readily getting off the mark over an extended 1m3f at Haydock a couple of weeks ago. The Willie Haggas trained filly remains open to further improvement and she is hard to oppose, despite carrying a 6lb penalty. Stevie Donohoe replaces Cieren Fallon in the saddle but this daughter of Sea The Stars is expected to progress again. The trainer has a near 30% strike rate at Doncaster with his runners so the fact she turns up here is noteworthy. The jockey also nearly has a 30% strike rate when riding for the trainer so everything points to a huge run.

    2-45 Doncaster (Treble)

    Mostly Cloudy arrives in search of a four-timer, having gone up almost two stone in the process. It would be no surprise if the son of Harzand had further progression to come after his latest victory at Nottingham where he won by an easy five lengths when defeating Pons Aelius. The runner up has come out and run well again to give the form a slight boost as he finished in the same position in a subsequent race at Newcastle just last week. Staying is clearly his forte and a further nine-pound hike in the ratings may not prove enough to stop him over a longer distance which promises to suit.

    NAP 3-20 Doncaster

    Jawwaal has been dropped a further two pounds in the ratings and is beginning to look as though he could be dangerously well handicapped. He is now two-pounds below his last winning mark and he is a multiple course and distance winner. He does need to reverse recent form with Burning Cash but they may not be an impossible task as Jawwaal now receives weight from his old rival as opposed to giving him some. If Michael Dods can get him back to his best, he could prove lethal here.

    3-30 Sandown (Treble)

    Golden Voice looks to be improving all the time and the form of his head success over the course and distance on his most recent start was boosted when the fourth, Auditor, came out and won readily at Newmarket almost a fortnight later. A five-pound rise looks manageable for the three-year-old son of Havana Gold and William Haggas' charge looks as though he has the right temperament to go in again.

    4-30 Doncaster

    Idoapologise has been out in the wilderness for a long time since his last win back in 2020 but he was narrowly denied over this course and distance on his most recent appearance. He has been dropped a further pound in the weights by the handicapper and with the ground fully in his favour, it would be of no great surprise to see him go well once again. Ben Robinson has ridden him on numerous occasions in the past and can atone for that most recent defeat here.

    4-50 Newton Abbot (Treble)

    Nelsons Rock made a successful chase debut over the course and distance last month, jumping soundly. He seems sure to do better today and a five-pound rise may not stop him going in again. That was only his second run following a four-month break and it seems as though the step up in trip to three-and-a-quarter miles really brought out the best in him. Brendan Powell retains the ride on the seven-year-old gelding and with no going concerns, he has to be of obvious interest.

Brendan Powell retains the ride on the seven-year-old gelding and with no going concerns, he has to be of obvious interest.

    Sharp Combo got off the mark at the second attempt in a Wolverhampton maiden over seven furlongs last term. He stepped up markedly from his seasonal reappearance to finish runner-up at Windsor just 10 days ago when beaten by Youthful King. The front two pulled well clear of the remainder of their rivals suggesting that there was more to come. He gets in off the same mark here and now taking another step up in trip, he has to be considered despite top weight.

    Storm Chaser improved on her seasonal reappearance and made the most of an ever falling mark by romping home over a mile and six furlongs just a week ago. Unbelievably she escapes a penalty for that wide margin success and if in the same mood has to be considered likely to follow up. The yard continues to be in incredibly good form and Mick Channon has sent out three winners inside the last ten days from only a handful of runners. Silvestre De Sousa replaces Rose Dawes in the saddle and this combination warrants utmost respect.

    Princeville is an exciting newcomer from the Charlie Appleby team and he is well related to the likes of the Molcomb winner Yalta as well as the likes of Branscombe and Honiton. Being a son of Exceed And Excel, he ought to thrive on this speedy going and no surprise if he has been well schooled at home and shows enough to take this on his racecourse debut. The Godolphin handler has a near 25% strike rate when sending horses here and with the yard in such good form, Princeville can make a winning start.

    Self Praise was a beaten favourite at Newmarket last time but he can be given another chance today. He has shown some fair form in finishing runner-up on his last three starts and Hugo Palmer's colt can deservedly open his account here. Having put in such an eye-catching effort in the Woodcote two starts ago he brings the best form to the table.

He put in a solid performance last time and the fact that he pulled some fifteen lengths clear of the third placed Robeam (who has subsequently placed again) indicates he is still on good terms with himself.

Having met some trouble in running he looks sure to be much more streetwise this time around. He is sure to benefit from that introduction and his experience of the track ought to give him an added edge.

    Skittlebombz is an absolute model of consistency and fully deserves to get off the mark here. He was only just touched off in a seven-furlong handicap at Kempton last month and now has cheekpieces applied for the first time. He raced on this track on what was only his second start last year and ran with great credit behind Global Wisdom then. A return to turf and this track may well see him improve once again. PJ McDonald knows the Hugo Palmer trained three-year-old well and the pair are respected.

    Lost In Time has certainly lived up to his name prior to his most recent start. His form had taken a nosedive despite a promising juvenile career. He had his first run back from a 213-day absence last time and he looked more like the force of old. The booking of Andrea Atzeni certainly catches the eye and the lightly raced five-year-old can make a brave attempt to put his career back on track. Saeed Bin Suroor clearly feels that the embers still burn inside this son of Dubawi and if putting in a similar run to last time should go very close.

    Taaqat has shown some good decent form of late suggesting her time may be close at hand. The daughter of Pivotal is still only lightly raced compared to a few of these and it wouldn’t be impossible to suggest that she can improve past them.

She has had more than a month to get over her recent exertions and looks primed to go well.

    Brazen Idol rewarded followers at 11/2 when going in under Cieren Fallon at Thirsk yesterday and Captain's Bar hit the crossbar for each way backers at Kempton. On top of that the treble was only just touched off as Dubai Welcome went down by a length in his race whilst Jessica Rabbit found one too strong.
    Tomorrow's selections are listed below. Good luck all.
    TK
     
    NAP 2-00 Haydock

    Sharp Combo got off the mark at the second attempt in a Wolverhampton maiden over seven furlongs last term. He stepped up markedly from his seasonal reappearance to finish runner-up at Windsor just 10 days ago when beaten by Youthful King. The front two pulled well clear of the remainder of their rivals suggesting that there was more to come. He gets in off the same mark here and now taking another step up in trip, he has to be considered despite top weight.


    TREBLE
    1-30 Haydock

    Storm Chaser improved on her seasonal reappearance and made the most of an ever falling mark by romping home over a mile and six furlongs just a week ago. Unbelievably she escapes a penalty for that wide margin success and if in the same mood has to be considered likely to follow up. The yard continues to be in incredibly good form and Mick Channon has sent out three winners inside the last ten days from only a handful of runners. Silvestre De Sousa replaces Rose Dawes in the saddle and this combination warrants utmost respect.

    2-50 Yarmouth

    Princeville is an exciting newcomer from the Charlie Appleby team and he is well related to the likes of the Molcomb winner Yalta as well as the likes of Branscombe and Honiton. Being a son of Exceed And Excel, he ought to thrive on this speedy going and no surprise if he has been well schooled at home and shows enough to take this on his racecourse debut. The Godolphin handler has a near 25% strike rate when sending horses here and with the yard in such good form, Princeville can make a winning start.

    6-36 Epsom

    Self Praise was a beaten favourite at Newmarket last time but he can be given another chance today. He has shown some fair form in finishing runner-up on his last three starts and Hugo Palmer's colt can deservedly open his account here. Having put in such an eye-catching effort in the Woodcote two starts ago he brings the best form to the table. A few of these rivals have disappointed in the past whilst others have not proven their consistency. He ought to prove hard to beat


    SINGLES
    2-10 Perth

    Release The Kraken is still looking for a first career win, but has hit the crossbar on two of his last three starts, including when wearing first-time blinkers at Uttoxeter over almost 3 miles last time They are retained here this afternoon and a return to good ground should him in a better light. He put in a solid performance last time and the fact that he pulled some fifteen lengths clear of the third placed Robeam (who has subsequently placed again) indicates he is still on good terms with himself. Brian Hughes has partnered the six-year-old on his last 4 outings and they command respect here.


     

     
    2-30 Haydock

    Captain Winters was a fair fourth of eight runners in novice event at this course over six furlongs on his debut just a little over three weeks ago. Having met some trouble in running he looks sure to be much more streetwise this time around. He is sure to benefit from that introduction and his experience of the track ought to give him an added edge. Whilst the yard has been struggling for winners of late, Captain Winters looks a certain improver and no surprise to see him in the winners’ enclosure after this.

    3-00 Haydock

    Skittlebombz is an absolute model of consistency and fully deserves to get off the mark here. He was only just touched off in a seven-furlong handicap at Kempton last month and now has cheekpieces applied for the first time. He raced on this track on what was only his second start last year and ran with great credit behind Global Wisdom then. A return to turf and this track may well see him improve once again. PJ McDonald knows the Hugo Palmer trained three-year-old well and the pair are respected.

    3-30 Haydock

    Lost In Time has certainly lived up to his name prior to his most recent start. His form had taken a nosedive despite a promising juvenile career. He had his first run back from a 213-day absence last time and he looked more like the force of old. The booking of Andrea Atzeni certainly catches the eye and the lightly raced five-year-old can make a brave attempt to put his career back on track. Saeed Bin Suroor clearly feels that the embers still burn inside this son of Dubawi and if putting in a similar run to last time should go very close.

    5-20 Newbury

    Taaqat has shown some good decent form of late suggesting her time may be close at hand. The daughter of Pivotal is still only lightly raced compared to a few of these and it wouldn’t be impossible to suggest that she can improve past them. As a three-year-old she receives weight from all bar one rival and her young jockey’s claim could well give her an added edge. She has had more than a month to get over her recent exertions and looks primed to go well.

    7-03 Newbury

    Tarhib won her first couple of starts as a three-year-old and having had a wind operation, got back on track with her sights lowered when runner-up at Chelmsford a fortnight ago. A tongue tie is applied for the first time today and she now finds herself dropping into Class 4 company. She represents a top yard and has an excellent jockey on board in Jim Crowley so she has to be of interest for an in form combination.

    8-40 Newbury

    Codify is still a maiden but he posted good third place in handicap over the course and distance just three weeks ago. It was a marked improvement from what we saw on his seasonal reappearance at Sandown in May and no surprise to see him take another step forward. It could be significant that Adam Kirby retains the ride and has ridden him previously. He ought to know all there is about the son of Lawman and with the Clive Cox horses starting to run into some form, the duo cannot be discounted from this despite top weight.

    Good evening all. Yesterday was tough to take with Ghaly and Mr Yeats both going closest to winning their respective races. We go again today with the selections from Worcester, Kempton, Bath and Thirsk. Hopefully a bit more luck on our side.

    NAP

    3-00 Worcester

    Rookie Trainer made the most of a return to hurdles last time when beating Nelson’s Rock by two lengths over this course and distance. He cut no mustard when given three spins over fences prior to that and clearly relished the smaller obstacles. Despite being raised five pounds by the handicapper for that success, Neil Mulholland clearly has him in good heart and no reason to think he cannot run well again. Kevin Brogan keeps the ride on the eight-year-old and with the ground still on the good side, the pair look a force to be reckoned with.

    Treble

    6-00 Kempton

    Eternal Pearl looks to have been given a decent chance to finally shed her maiden status at the fourth attempt. The daughter of Frankel was a beaten favourite at Newbury last time, however she was not disgraced on that occasion. Prior to that she was only narrowly denied in a Listed race at Goodwood when beaten by Sea Silk Road. Without a shadow of a doubt she brings the best form to the table here and she should prove too tough for the opposition.

    6-30 Kempton

    Dubai Welcome was fancied to run well despite twenty months off the track at Kempton 4 weeks ago. He proved that he retained all of his ability as he finished a good second to Pearl Beach. The five-year-old is still far from exposed having only had a handful of runs in his career and there is surely more to come from the son of Dubawi. Ray Dawson has a 36% strike rate when riding for Saeed Bin Suroor and the pair look certain to go close. Dubai Welcome has run well around here in the past and he can give all of his rivals a bloody nose here.

    7-50 Bath

    Tribuna Uffizi looked to be an unlucky loser when attempting to supplement his recent win at Windsor when lining up at Leicester just a couple of weeks later. He endured a troubled passage and lost out by the narrowest of margins to Thunder Flash. George Scott has found a race filled with rivals who are terribly out of sorts and who have already endured a somewhat disappointing season. There is still the possibility of further improvement from this four-year-old gelding and no surprise if he finds the winning habit once again.

    Singles

    2-20 Thirsk

    Photograph looked as though he was running back into some sort of form when last seen out at Ripon a fortnight ago. He is beginning to look dangerously well handicapped and now takes another step down in grade. Despite top weight, unlike most of rivals these he at least hinted that the spark still flickered and Declan Carroll will be hoping that Harrison Shaw can re-ignite the enthusiasm of his five-year-old. This is low grade stuff and it may not take much winning, so he has to be of serious interest.

    2-50 Thirsk

    Brazen Idol was unfortunate not to win at Wolverhampton last week and was only touched off by the narrowest of margins. Despite fluffing his lines when slow to break, if getting away on terms today he ought to prove a tough nut to crack. He gets in near the foot of the handicap and now has the assistance of Cieren Fallon in the saddle. Not many of these are in any sort of form and if repeating the same sort of efforts, he has been showing on recent starts, he ought to go very close here.

    4-10 Worcester

    Jessica Rabbit returned to winning ways in impressive fashion over two-and-a-half miles at Uttoxeter two weeks ago and a six-pound rise for that win may not be enough to stop the eight-year-old this afternoon. That most recent run came following a seven-month lay-off and she has to command respect with her yard in such excellent form. She has absolutely no issues with the trip or the good ground and young Liam Harrison has been called upon to ride as he can take a useful three pounds off her back. Likely to go extremely well.

    7-30 Kempton

    Moel Arthur has already shown his appreciation for this type of surface as he showed when winning at Lingfield back in February. He was short of room at a crucial stage but still posted a career-best effort when runner-up at Sandown last time when chasing home High Wells. He commands plenty of respect back on the all-weather.

    8-00 Kempton

    Captain’s Bar finds himself in this low grade affair carrying top weight. He capitalised on the drop in grade when winning a six-runner seller at Lingfield over six furlongs just under a fortnight ago. He was value for extra having covered more ground than most on that occasion and Richard Hannon now calls upon a seven-pound claimer to alleviate some of the pressure. Many of his rivals here are not in the best of form and no surprise to see him take full advantage.
