NetBet 20 Free Bet Welcome Handicap
Filly’s Last Lady 1pt win only 9/1 – Connections are 15 winners and 9 placed from 58 for a 22.5% win strike with an LSP of +20 at the track. Keiron Burke has only had 3 runners so far in these colours and 2 have gone close. They have this one and HI LORD 18/1 (233 Bath) running here today but that one is up against a very short priced favourite making me think that this one could be their first winner together today.

Stream Royal Ascot At NetBet Handicap
Grand Harbour 1pt win only 4/1 – Sir Mark Prescott is renowned for picking up winners when stepping them up in trip on handicap debut and this one, his sole runner on the card fits that bill today. He has been amongst the winners this week and his record at the track reads 45 wins and 20 placed from 142 runners for a 31% strike rate including 2/3 in the last 12 months.

Precision Facades Handicap
Vince L’ Amour 1pt win only 12/1 – Tim Easterby has won 2 of the 3 running’s of this race with Copper Knight 10/3 who lines up here again today. Both of those wins however came in the hands of Sean Kirrane who opts to ride the yards other runner today so the chance is taken that he has had the option and knows a little something that we don’t. The horse takes a marked drop in class today and is only 2lb above his last winning mark.

Going Is Good Handicap
Wind Your Neck In 0.5pt EW 28/1 – Beaten just a nk from 6lb higher in the race last year for his previous yard and has since joined a pretty shrewd outfit who may well have targeted this from the moment he switched. Finished well behind a few of these last time out including today’s favourite but that was on a first run back from going over hurdles so he may have needed the sharpener. Yard are 10 wins and 11 placed from 69 with their flat runners for a near 29% place strike so a chance has to be taken with the notable booking of Hollie Doyle on board.

Andy Calvert Celebration Handicap Chase
Old But Gold 0.5pt EW 28/1 – M Todhunter has seemed to make this race a target in recent years since winning the race in 2019. He had one that was travelling strongly and well in contention before coming to grief the following year, placed 3rd in 2022, won again in 2023 and placed 2nd again last year. The slight concern is his regular jockey for those rides Sean Quinlan has opted to ride Scots Poet 5/1 for Ewan Whillans for whom he has a decent record so a little reverse forecast has also been played.

Brocksbushes Open NH Flat Race
Dotties Promise 1pt win only 9/1 – Susan Corbett and Nathan Moscrop have been very profitable to follow over the last 12 month and nowhere more so than here at Hexham. The yard have a modest strike rate of around 15% but a very handsome profit of +40 in the last 12 months. Nathan Moscrop operates at 17% for the yard with and even more impressive +70 LSP over the same period. The yard have been doing well in bumpers too the last 12 months which was somewhat of a weak area for them previously and are 2 wins and 1 placed from 10 in the last 12 months. Yard has 3 runners entered across the card but they team up for just this 1

Gamble Responsibly At BetMGM Handicap
Loving Look 1pt win only 11/1 – A race that has often gone to a yard that trains across multiple codes and the selection is one of only 2 in here that fit that bill today with the other being Simiyaan 25/1 for Ian Williams. Yard have hit some recent form and whilst Rob Hornbys figures for the yard do not read that well he is 6 wins and 5 placed from 30 for the owners for a 20% win strike. The owners are 2 wins and 1 placed from just 3 runners at Sandown too.

Queen Mother’s Cup Handicap
Financier 0.5pt EW 20/1 (4 places B365) – Tim Easterby has won this race 3 times in the last 13 years with the latest of those wins coming in the hands of Emily Roberts back in 2016. Since then they have teamed up to place in this one on multiple occasions so its fair to say they will be trying again today. This amateur jockey is worth looking out for at Ripon with 5 wins from 6 rides but is also worth keeping on side with here today having ridden 20 of her 23 winners for the yard including a handful for these owners.

Churchill Tyres Supporting Macmillan Sprint Handicap
Columnist 0.5pt EW 40/1 (5 places B365) – Horses that ran at Newmarket over 6f 4 weeks previous to this race have an incredible record in this race and have provided us with 5 of the last 8 winners. 5 runners in the field al fit that bill and went head to head last time out Marchogian (1st) 7/1, American style (2nd) 14/1, Dark Cloud Rising (3rd) 20/1, Sixtygeesbaby (4th) 18/1 and the selection who was a remote 7th that day. The selctions 2 year old form is very impressive and this one should be cutting out to be a Group performer for Wathnan racing but he has proven to be a little bit tricky going down to the start early on both occasions this term including in a hood last time out. Clearly not straight forward but the switch back to James Doyle in the saddle could make all the difference today from a falling mark.

Reg Griffin Appreciation ebfstallions.com Maiden Stakes
Tactical Formation 1pt win only 11/2 – Richard Fahey has taken this race on 3 occasions in the last 11 years and had numerous placed efforts too. All of those wins have been with a newcomer and whilst the latest of those came back in 2017 he can once again boast about the same kind of ammunition that brought him that success back then. This Wathnan Racing debutant is a pretty expensive purchase at 360K. He has been very speedily bred and should know what is expected here.
