Meshardal is interesting in the 7.25 at Haydock now 4lb lower than for his last success. The eight-year-old went close over course and distance last time and will appreciate the drop to Class 5 company.
Page Fuller is worth supporting at Stratford. In the last five seasons, she has a 30 per cent strike-rate for a £1 level-stake profit of £32.50. Monsieur Gibraltar (7.15) and Mon Parrain (7.50) can enhance her record at the venue.

Nigel Twiston-Davies boasts a 60 per cent strike-rate at Goodwood (3-5). Arthur McBride has provided two of those wins and is yet to finish outside the frame in three visits to the West Sussex track, so expect a good display in the 7.05.

in today's sporting life......................... A review of Thursday afternoon's meeting at Ripon as Silvestre de Sousa stole the show again with a double, including on course specialist Gurkha Friend. If ever a horse was made in the image of his jockey, then Gurkha Friend certainly mirrors Silvestre de Sousa and the pair racked up another win at Ripon. The champion jockey has been on board for three of the six-year-old's four victories at the Garden Racecourse - but his mount looked beaten a furlong out in the Weatherbys General Stud Book Handicap. Up 8lb for his win at the track 18 days ago, Karen McLintock's charge was taken on for the lead this time by Trading Point, before wrestling it back at the top of the straight. Challenged by Frank Bridge, Dawaaleeb and then Storm Ahead, he was headed more than once before battling back to win by a nose as the 11/8 favourite. View image on TwitterView image on TwitterView image on TwitterView image on Twitter Louise Pollard @sqweezy GURKHA FRIEND and Silvestre De Sousa win the @weatherbysltd General Stud Book Handicap for trainer @kmcl_Racing @riponraces @yorkshireracing 4:32 PM - Jun 7, 2018 13 See Louise Pollard's other Tweets Twitter Ads info and privacy "He loves the track and tries really hard," said De Sousa. "It got a bit tight on the rail when I got passed and he took a false step. "He didn't want to be beaten, though, and neither did I." McLintock said: "It was a terrific ride and the pair of them are so tough. "He lost his confidence for a while with stomach ulcers and even today he didn't want to leave the paddock. "It just makes you wonder if he's on his game or not, as he never used to be like that, but once he gets to the start he's fine." She added: "When you only have a small string you get very attached to them. "I thought he was going to get swallowed up, but he's just so tough. I've no idea what's next, we'll have to see how much he goes up." De Sousa, who was given a two-day ban for using his whip above the permitted level, made it a double through Roger Charlton's Savaanah (2/5 favourite) in the one-mile novice stakes. David O'Meara could be tempted by Royal Ascot for Kuwait Station, who was a 16/1 winner on his debut in the British Stallion Studs EBF Novice Stakes. Eyelool was the odds-on favourite after a good run at Newbury on his debut, but Phillip Makin's mount won by a length and three-quarters. "We'll have to have a chat about Ascot after that," said O'Meara. "He looked good, if he can win like that despite doing so much wrong, then he's obviously got plenty of ability. He's very green and you'd think he can only improve." Another big-priced winner was Richard Fahey's Claire Underwood (20/1) in the Follow At riponraces On Twitter Handicap. "I was further back than I wanted to be and not really travelling," said jockey Tony Hamilton. "It was all going to depend on whether I got a run, but it opened up nicely. We've only had her a short while as she had two runs in Ireland." View image on Twitter View image on Twitter Ripon Races @riponraces Claire Underwood springs a little bit of a surprise winning at 20/1 for @richardfahey and @tonyhamilton83 2:53 PM - Jun 7, 2018 1 See Ripon Races's other Tweets Twitter Ads info and privacy Mr Wagyu benefited from a visor for the first time to win the Free Daily Tips On attheraces.com Handicap. The 17/2 chance just had enough in the tank to hold off Mutabaahy for Jason Hart and John Quinn. The latter said: "He took a step in the right direction last time out when third at Redcar and the visor definitely helped. "He's genuine, but he can be lazy when he hits the front." Quinn and Hart doubled up with Wotabreeze (8/1) in the finale.

Nick Grant reckons Sacred Path can make a late case for a Ribblesdale appearance at Royal Ascot with victory at Haydock on Friday. He has a tip for every race at every meeting. Sacred Path can underline her hopes of being a lively outsider at Royal Ascot by winning at Haydock. This Galileo filly is a full sister to some useful types, including Shantaram and Forever Now, but she looked all at sea on her initial start at Goodwood last month. She made notable ground in the closing stages over 10 furlongs that day, snatching second place in the dying strides and eventually being beaten just a length by the winner. John Gosden felt Sacred Path was good enough to merit a Ribblesdale entry at the Royal meeting. So if she is going to take up that engagement, she really should be winning the Read Silvestre De Sousa At 188Bet "Confined" Fillies' Novice Stakes. Presidential was beaten just a neck at Beverley on his most recent outing but can regain the winning thread in the 188Bet Cash Back If Brazil Win Handicap. He bumped into a bit of a Westwood specialist that day and being 1lb wrong at the weights would hardly have helped in such a tight finish. Presidential appeared to have delivered a winning challenge over seven and a half furlongs there, but given he ran out of gas a little at the finish, a switch back to six furlongs may be a good shout from Roger Fell. The Last Emperor finished last season on a disappointing note at Salisbury but had done little wrong in two starts before that and, with Roger Varian's yard in good nick, it would be no surprise to see him bounce back with a bold effort in the Best Odds Guaranteed At 188Bet Handicap. There should be more to come yet from Balestra, who goes for Tim Easterby in the Play Roulette At 188Bet Casino Handicap. The ex-Charlie Hills-trained four-year-old is having his second outing for the North Yorkshire handler, and just his seventh career start in total. Just a nominal rise in the weights for his strong-finishing victory at Catterick gives him an obvious chance and he has shown he handles quick conditions. Angels can make it a double for Easterby, and bring up a hat-trick in the process, in the British Stallion Studs EBF Fillies' Handicap at Carlisle. This Dark Angel filly has won two of her three starts, scoring at Ripon and Pontefract last month, impressing with the manner of her victory on both occasions. The handicapper has certainly noticed Angels' ability and an opening mark of 85 is probably higher than Easterby would have liked, but certainly appears workable. The record suggests Alsvinder does not win on turf but so well is he handicapped on grass compared to his all-weather mark that it must come right at some point, and the Thursby Handicap also at Carlisle is the latest chance. Kadiz is fancied to break his duck in the Thorley Taverns Novice Stakes at Brighton. The Richard Hughes-trained filly made a decent impression when beaten just half a length on her debut at Newmarket in April, but was disappointing after that on markedly different ground at Salisbury. She returned on a quicker surface at Windsor last month and was much more like it. Sent off at 11/2, the Lope De Vega filly was niggled along from halfway, but stuck at it well, albeit finding winner Come On Leicester four and half lengths too good. It should be pointed out, however, that her conqueror looks a Royal Ascot type, so the likelihood is there was no disgrace in that.

Matt Brocklebank picks out three bets from Friday's meetings with the Sporting Life Daily Nap running at Goodwood. Sporting Life's Daily Nap, June 8 Nap: Sky Eagle (7.05 Goodwood) Next Best: Me Before You (2.30 Carlisle) Treble: Park Bloom (8.55 Curragh) 9 3 Sky Eagle23 48-9OR: 79 9/4 Form: 3421-13T: Ed WalkerJ: P Cosgrave Last run Live betting powered by 3 8 Me Before You6 39-7OR: 65D 2/1 Form: 389-812T: D O'MearaJ: D Tudhope Last run Live betting powered by 8 8 Park Bloom10 39-0OR: - 4/1 Form: 4T: J S BolgerJ: K J Manning Last run Live betting powered by SKY EAGLE bumped into two very well-handicapped horses in Reverend Jacobs and Zeelander at York’s Dante meeting and rates a very solid selection in Goodwood’s Bespoke Property Consultants Handicap. Ed Walker’s charge started handicap life on a low mark of 61 in the autumn and he’s taken full advantage with a nose second and two wins. The recent third on the Knavesmire was definitely another step up on what he’d shown before and there could well be more to come with the extra couple of furlongs on offer here expected to eke out extra improvement. He’s yet to win a race on turf, but it looks a matter of time and he gets in here under a low weight against some relatively exposed rivals. David O’Meara looks to be coming into a warm spell of form and his Me Before You is fancied to land the Longtown Handicap at Carlisle. She’s unexposed after just seven career starts and is clearly beginning to get the hang of things after winning at Ripon and a sound second at Musselburgh last time out. She’s up another 2lb but looks to be progressive and dropping back to a stiff six furlongs is no problem based on her latest effort over slightly further. Park Bloom should break her duck at the second time of asking in the last race at the Curragh – the TRM’s Calphormin Irish EBF Fillies Maiden. She’s very well entered-up in the Ribblesdale and the Irish Oaks and showed a hint of promise when fourth of seven first time out at Gowran. The mile and a half seemed to be a bit much too soon first time out so dropping two furlongs is expected to help and she’s taken to improve past thw twice-raced Tissiak. Daily Nap record: -3.88pts

Richard Fahey talks us through his Saturday team that comprises 19 runners at Beverley, Catterick, Haydock, Musselburgh and Newmarket. When you see any two-year-old win by six lengths you’re surprised and delighted so to do it at the Derby meeting in the Woodcote with Cosmic Law was truly memorable. He’s come out of the race absolutely fine, but we’ll see how he is next week when we firm up our Royal Ascot plans to see if he goes for the Coventry. This weekend is lower key but we’ve a usual busy Saturday with 19 runners around the country, starting with Eastern Impact our sole raider down at Newmarket as they kick-off the July Course season. He's been dropped 2lb after he ran over a distance a bit too far last time and he loves his trips down to Newmarket on either course. We’ve got the right man on board in Ryan Moore, too, so a better run is very much expected in the Margaret Giffin Memorial Handicap. I can’t believe it’s seven years since we won the Brian Yeardley Two Year Old Trophy with Gabrial and the horse we run in the Beverley feature this year, Wasntexpectingthat, is a nice type. He beat Big Ace over the course and distance on his latest start where he seemed to appreciate the better ground. He’ll get further as the season goes along but this track and trip looks perfect for him right now. He’d have a chance. Racing UK ✔ @racing_UK Cosmic Law opens up the #Derby Festival in style with an impressive victory in the Investec Woodcote EBF Stakes Results ▶️ bit.ly/2w8fYfO 2:05 PM - Jun 1, 2018 39 21 people are talking about this Twitter Ads info and privacy I run two in the Hilary Needler; Good Tyne Girl and Kodyanna. Good Tyne Girl did it well at Leicester and the horse in ninth that day, Cococabala, came out and won at Wetherby on Wednesday night. He got upset in the stalls at Leicester, but it still looks good form and my filly improved plenty from her debut to her second start. I was pleased with Kodyanna at Nottingham and she should get better with racing, just like her half-sister Darkanna did. In the Nearly Graham Hallett Memorial Fillies’ Handicap I run Prying Pandora but she seems to have fallen out of love with the game a bit. She could go to the sales and I hope she bounces back, but she is 5lb out of the weights here. La Sioux runs in the Megan O’Meara 21st Birthday Handicap and she’s up 2lb after winning a weak race at Redcar on her latest start. She’s relatively unexposed on turf and the visor has helped her as well, but this looks a tougher race than last time. Our final runner at Beverley is Gangland in the FilplasticUK Ltd 25th Anniversary Handicap (Div II) and he has a bit to prove after struggling on his couple of starts so far this season. Best Chances 4 1 Eastern Impact14 79-8OR: 94CD 12/1 Form: 004-370T: R A FaheyJ: R L Moore Last run 7 8 Wasntexpectingthat33 29-0OR: -CD 13/2 Form: 321T: R A FaheyJ: P Hanagan Last run 8 8 Powerallied17 59-0OR: 88D 11/2 Form: 7718-22T: R A FaheyJ: T Hamilton Last run 8 7 Knowing Glance19 38-10OR: 74D 10/3 Form: 5433-1T: R A FaheyJ: T Hamilton Last run Over at Haydock we run three, starting with Powerallied in the Betway Dash Handicap. He’s been knocking on the door and the horse that beat him at Ayr, Tanasoq, won the Dash at Epsom, so it looks good form and we’re hopeful of another big run. Equitant runs in the six-furlong race for three-year-olds, the Betway Sprint Handicap, and I’ve been a bit disappointed with him on the track as he shows a bit more at home. He’s at least dropped a couple of pounds after a recent fourth at Haydock but I’d be hoping to see a bit more than he’s shown recently. In the final race Knowing Glance runs for the Betway Handicap over seven furlongs and he won last time despite everything going wrong, so that’s a very nice trait to have. That was at Carlisle and he’s up 5lb but he’s going the right way and I’m very much looking forward to seeing him run again. We’ve three up at Musselburgh starting with Roderick in the Edinburgh Gin EBF Stallions Novice Stakes. He’s shown us a bit at home and is a half-brother to Rotherhithe, a filly we’ve had trouble getting in the stalls, so hopefully that doesn’t run in the family. Also at Musselburgh Ventura Gold steps up in trip in the Edinburgh Gin’s Cannonball Handicap and I think the extra distance will really suit him. His form isn’t too bad and if he does stay he must have a good chance. He’s been running consistently well but the extra couple of furlongs could well bring about a bit more improvement. It’s a long time since Angel Gabrial won but he ran okay at Chester last time where the race wasn’t run to suit. He needs a proper gallop to aim at and he’s very well handicapped now when things drop right. Hopefully they go a strong enough pace for him in the Edinburgh Gin’s Distillery Tour Handicap. Finally, we take five up to Catterick beginning with Primeiro Boy in the totescoop6 It’s A Rollover Novice Median Auction Stakes. He will have learnt plenty at Hamilton last week and he’s taking on a few newcomers here so hopefully he can put that experience to good use. Rene Mathis and Heaven's Guest Rene Mathis: Dropping down the weights Monaco Rose struggled at Chester last time so we’re dropping her into claiming company in the totequadpot At totesport.com Classified Claiming Stakes. After that Rene Mathis and Scofflaw run in the totescoop6 Handicap over seven furlongs and both are dropping down the weights following some indifferent runs. Rene Mathis is really well handicapped now, but he needs to bounce back. Sebastian Woods is taking 5lb off him to try and help him further. Scofflaw is just completely out of sorts at the moment and I’m not sure why. This time last year he was running well so I’m just hoping he begins to show us something soon. Inviolable Spirit goes for the Totesport Download The App Handicap and he won in heavy ground at Leicester last time out. He’ll face very different conditions on Saturday but he should cope with better ground okay. He’s gone up 4lb but showed a good attitude to win last time so he should be competitive as long as he doesn’t need more testing conditions to slow the others down. Finally, Pop Telecom does nothing wrong at home and I’m looking forward to seeing what she can do on the track when she makes her debut in the totepoolliveinfo.com Median Auction Maiden Stakes.

Brighton, 08 Jun 18 Fixture Note After Race 1, the Going was changed to Good to Firm, Firm in places (From Good to Firm) Race 1 - 2:10pm THE MOTORCLEAN LTD HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 5) Permission was given for CRYSTAL DEAUVILLE (FR) to go early to post.
The winner, JACK TAYLOR (IRE), appeared to show improved form compared with its previous run at Salisbury on 17 May 2018, where the gelding finished ninth of 17, beaten by nine lengths. Richard Hughes' representative's explanation that JACK TAYLOR (IRE) had benefitted from the application of first-time blinkers was noted. The gelding was routine tested.
Race 3 - 3:10pm THE WHITLEY NEILL HANDCRAFTED ORIGINAL GIN HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 4) Following the race, Pat Cosgrave reported that MAMILLIUS, placed third, hung left-handed, and Kieran O'Neill reported that TIGERWOLF (IRE), placed second, hung left-handed.
Race 4 - 3:40pm THE WHITLEY NEILL HANDCRAFTED BLOOD ORANGE GIN HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 6) KATH'S LEGACY wore a nose net which was removed at the start.
Adam Kirby, the rider of the winner, DELEYLL, was suspended for 2 days for using his whip above the permitted level inside the final two furlongs.
Kieren Fox, the rider of ROBERT THE PAINTER (IRE), placed sixth, beaten a neck for fifth, had appeared to stop riding shortly before the winning post. The rider was interviewed and shown recordings of the incident. Fox explained that after making the running for a long way, ROBERT THE PAINTER (IRE) had quickly become tired, had changed legs and become unbalanced on the run to the line. At this point he had felt it necessary to hold the gelding together. His explanation was noted.
Following the race, Silvestre De Sousa reported that DAILY TRADER, placed fourth, was slowly away. Hollie Doyle reported that HALLINGHAM, placed seventh, was never travelling, and the representative of Ken Cunningham-Brown further reported that the gelding was unsuited by the undulations at Brighton and may prefer a flatter track.
Race 5 - 4:10pm THE WHITLEY NEILL HANDCRAFTED RHUBARB & GINGER GIN HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 5) An enquiry was held to consider the placings in this race after interference approximately 1 ½ furlongs out when the winner, ALTRA VITA, ridden by Luke Morris, interfered with BRAEMAR, placed second, ridden by Pat Dobbs. The Stewards considered that the interference had not improved ALTRA VITA’s placing as although the winning distance was only ½ length, the interference occurred far enough away from the finish that there was enough time for BRAEMAR to regain its momentum. In addition, the interference suffered was only minimal, with Dobbs only to having to ease momentarily. Morris was cautioned for careless riding as he had allowed ALTRA VITA to drift left towards the rail when not sufficiently clear.
Following the race, the representative of Robyn Brisland reported that APACHE BLAZE, placed fourth, was unsuited by the ground which was Good to Firm, Firm in places, and would prefer an easier surface.
Race 6 - 4:40pm THE MATTHEW CLARK WHOLESALE AND WHITLEY NEILL HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 5) Permission was given for DELIBERATOR to wear a hood in the Parade Ring; PASS THE CRYSTAL (IRE) wore earplugs during the race.

Spencer was unable to attend the enquiry, as he had already left the course to ride at Goodwood in the evening and had given evidence to a Stipendiary Steward over the telephone, which the Stipendiary Steward provided in the enquiry on Spencer’s behalf. Cosgrave was cautioned for careless riding as he had allowed his mount to drift right-handed without correction, taking KING OF DREAMS off its intended line. Spencer was fined £290 for leaving the course within 5 minutes of the ‘Weighed In’ announcement being given.
Race 7 - 5:10pm THE DONATELLO RESTAURANT BRIGHTON HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 6) Permission was given for LIMERICK LORD (IRE) to go early to post.
An enquiry was held to consider interference shortly after the road crossing when LIMERICK LORD (IRE), placed third, ridden by Shelley Birkett, interfered with FINTECH (IRE), placed sixth, ridden by Charlie Bennett, which in turn interfered with ZAPPER CLASS (FR), placed fourth, ridden by Alistair Rawlinson. Birkett was suspended for 2 days for careless riding as she had allowed her mount to drift left handed when not sufficiently clear, making contact with and turning the quarters of FINTECH, which in turn unbalanced ZAPPER CLASS (FR).
Following the race, Charlie Bennett reported that FINTECH (IRE), placed sixth, was slowly away and never travelling; FINTECH (IRE) was routine tested. View Stewards report Carlisle, 08 Jun 18 Race 1 - 1:30pm THE RACING UK IN HD EBF NOVICE STAKES (CLASS 4) (PLUS 10 RACE) Following the race, Paul Hanagan reported that LORTON, placed third, hung left in the final ½ furlong.
Race 2 - 2:00pm THE THURSBY HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 5) An enquiry was held to consider interference approximately 2 ½ furlongs out when MARKET CHOICE (IRE), placed eighth, ridden by Jack Garritty interfered with ALSVINDER, placed seventh, ridden by Daniel Tudhope. Garritty was cautioned for careless riding as he allowed his mount to drift right when not sufficiently clear of ALSVINDER.
Following the race, Daniel Tudhope reported that ALSVINDER, placed seventh, slipped shortly after leaving the starting stalls and suffered interference 2 1/2 furlongs out. The Veterinary Officer reported that ALSVINDER had lost a left front shoe.
Race 3 - 2:30pm THE LONGTOWN HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 6) Permission was given for HAVANA STAR (IRE) to go early to post.
The apparent improvement in form of the winner, WHINMOOR, which had never previously been placed, was considered. Nigel Tinkler’s representative was interviewed. Her comments were noted that they were disappointed with its previous run at Yarmouth and she added that the gelding had been very green in its previous five runs and in her opinion the gelding had improved having gained more experience. WHINMOOR was routine tested.
Four furlongs out, HAVANA STAR (IRE), placed fourth, shifted quickly right interfering with SUPER FLORENCE (IRE, placed eighth, but after viewing a recording of the incident, it was found that no riding offence was involved and that it had not improved the placing of HAVANA STAR (IRE).
Following the race, Daniel Tudhope reported that ME BEFORE YOU (IRE), placed fifth, ran flat. David Allan reported that SE YOU, placed sixth, was hampered at the start.
Race 4 - 3:00pm THE BRITISH STALLION STUDS EBF FILLIES' HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 3) Permission was given for MISS DD (IRE) to go early to post.

An enquiry was held to consider interference inside the final 2 furlongs when the winner, FOXTROT LADY, ridden by Jason Watson interfered with LADY DANCEALOT (IRE), placed second, ridden by Hayley Turner.

Race 5 - 3:30pm THE RACING UK DAY PASS JUST £10 HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 4) Joe Fanning, the rider of DOMINATING (GER), placed second, was suspended for 2 days for using his whip above the permitted level from inside the 2 furlong marker.

Race 7 - 4:30pm THE RACING UK IN GLORIOUS HD HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 6) (DIV I) David Allan, the rider of TRAVELTALK (IRE) was suspended for 2 days for using his whip above the permitted level inside the final 1½ furlongs.

Race 6 - 4:50pm THE sportingjobs.co.uk NOVICE MEDIAN AUCTION STAKES (CLASS 5) Franny Norton, the rider of ELEGIAC, appeared to ease his horse shortly before the winning post. After being interviewed and shown recordings of the incident, Norton explained that he never stopped riding and felt that he lost no momentum, and in his opinion, he had achieved his best possible placing, with the winner, KAANOON, finishing fast on his inside. His explanation was noted.
An enquiry was held to consider interference on the home bend between ACCLAFRITH (IRE), placed fourth, ridden by Gabriele Malune, and ARTIESHOW (USA), unplaced, ridden by Marc Monaghan.

The action comes thick and fast on Friday evening with five fixtures across the UK and Ireland. Here are three runners of particular interest.
Blue Uluru 7.10 Curragh
The lightly raced Blue Uluru has gone up 7lb for her victory at Navan, but so comfortable was that success the hike in the weights may not be enough to stop her winning again.
The three-year-old was twice tried in Listed company last year by Ger Lyons, which gives some indication of the esteem in which she is held, and, with only seven starts to her name, further improvement is on the cards.
Blue Uluru 7:10 Curragh Wonderful Charm 7.50 Stratford
Wonderful Charm was a beaten favourite in Stratford's Champion Hunters' Chase last year but can make amends this time. A dual Grade 2-winning chaser in his pomp, Wonderful Charm is clearly not the force of old, but he demonstrated how dominant he can be at hunter chase level when winning on the bridle at Fontwell last time.
That impressive success showed he has bounced back from whatever ailed him at Cheltenham and Aintree, and the forecast good ground is in his favour.
Wonderful Charm 7:50 Stratford Balestra 9.10 Haydock
With the Tim Easterby yard in flying form – he sent out 14 winners in 14 days before racing on Friday – Balestra holds strong claims of following up his recent success at Catterick.
That was the four-year-old's first start for Easterby since arriving from the Charlie Hills yard, and his mark was only raised 1lb for that authoritative novice stakes victory. Given he is lightly raced and completely unexposed for his new trainer, Balestra is worth siding with from what could prove to be a lenient handicap mark.

SPOTLIGHT.
Tabarrak 7-2 Haydock, 4.00
Went close in Group 3 last August; triple Listed winner, including a C&D success on fast ground four weeks ago (defied a 3lb penalty); that sets him up nicely for another crack at this level and he warrants respect.

Stormbringer 11-1 3.05 Newmarket, Saturday
Was an excellent third, beaten only a length by Society Power in a strong-looking 7f handicap at Ascot last month and the winner is 12lb higher now having come from the clouds to get up in a £100k handicap at Goodwood next time. Looks sure to run well again

Baron Bolt 9-2 2.35 Newmarket, Saturday
Baron Bolt has just failed to catch two enterprisingly ridden speedsters this season and has gone up 5lb as a consequence, but on both occasions he finished off his race really well and there is surely plenty more to come from him. Conditions look ideal at Newmarket, he might be well drawn on the far rail and there doesn't look to be an up-and-coming sprinter against him this time..

HC ANGEL.
Alcari 5.00 (Guide price) 9.05 Sha Tin, Sunday
The speedy Prince Harmony is bound to be very popular to continue Zac Purton's hot streak but his trainer Chris So hasn't had a winner for seven weeks and Alcari is an appealing value alternative. A recent winning trial suggests this gelding is in fine form and, with the return to 1200m in his favour, anything bigger than 4-1 looks a very fair bet.

TOM COLLINS.
Muthmir 3-1 3.25 Haydock, Saturday
The quicker the ground the better for Muthmir and William Haggas's sprinting star finally gets his conditions now dropped to Listed company at Haydock. The former three-time Group 2 winner has run creditably in two starts this year - including when behind Battaash last time out - and he should prove too good for these opponents.

KEVIN MORLEY.
Cribbs Causeway 11-2 2.50 Haydock, Saturday
God Given heads the market and ran a nice race on her reappearance at Ascot last month on unsuitably quick ground but the surface is likely to be similar here and she may prove vulnerable given that all her winning form last year came on soft. Anything on the fast side of good won't bother Cribbs Causeway who also shaped well on her seasonal debut at York. That was a career-best from Roger Charlton's filly who did nothing but improve last term and she looks capable of further progress this season.

IRISH ANGLE.
Decrypt 9-4 2.10 Curragh, Saturday This son of Dark Angel shaped with plenty of promise when runner-up to Jessica Harrington's Indigo Balance on Irish 1,000 Guineas day. Despite missing a beat at the gates, he travelled with purpose through the contest and over a furlong out was the last horse to be asked for an effort. He stuck on well inside the final furlong to take second spot and Billy Lee gave him a lovely education without knocking him about, so there should be more to come.

A dual scorer last term, he is entitled to improve for his recent spin at York and should be in the shake-up.

Mark Johnston's horse is extremely well handicapped on his form from last year and, after a promising run last time out at Epsom, he can go well at a big price.

Simon Crisford has an impressive 38 per cent strike-rate at Beverley and he sends just Jathi to the East Yorkshire venue, who runs in the 2.05. This newcomer boasts an attractive pedigree and he can figure on debut.
This is a prime time of year for trainer Kenneth Slack, who has a 32 per cent strike-rate with his runners two weeks either side of today’s date for the past five seasons. He saddles one runner – course-and-distance winner Italian Riviera in the 4.05 at Catterick.
Clive Cox and Adam Kirby have an impressive 44 per cent strike-rate when combining at Haydock and the pair team up with Lethal Lunch in the 5.45. This Lethal Force colt was a smart juvenile and has the ability to win a race of this nature.

in today's sporting life.................. Ben Linfoot seeks out the best Value Bet selections for Haydock, Musselburgh and Newmarket on Saturday including Richard Hughes' Golden Wolf. Recommended Bets: Value Bet, June 9 1pt win Line Of Reason in 2.30 Musselburgh at 9/1 1pt win Melinoe in 2.50 Haydock at 25/1 1pt win Grand Koonta in 3.05 Newmarket at 16/1 1pt win Golden Wolf in 3.40 Newmarket at 10/1 Clicking the above links will take you to oddschecker.com; for Sky Bet's odds and offers,click here For details of advised bookmakers and each-way terms, visit our transparent tipping record Paul Midgley won the Dash at Epsom last weekend and with his big team of sprinters in good form it would be no surprise if he landed the £100,000 feature at Musselburgh on Saturday as well – the Edinburgh Gin’s Scottish Sprint Cup Handicap (2.30). Both his Move In Time and LINE OF REASON have excellent chances, but the former has gone up 7lb for a recent win so it’s the latter, last year’s winner, that appeals most at 9/1 (General). This race is perfect for him as he likes fast ground and a hell-for-leather gallop to aim at, something he got this time last year as he won off a 7lb higher mark of 97. He hasn’t been in as good form recently, but his most recent run at York was much better and we have now reached his favourite time of year. From 11 career runs in the month of June, Line Of Reason has won an incredible seven times, so now really does look like the time to catch him, especially with the Good to Firm ground conditions and potential pace burn-up set to play into his hands once again. There is early pace all over the track and though they’re likely to congregate towards the near-side rail, his lower draw could well reduce the chance of being stopped in his run. It’s a really competitive sprint as you would expect, but everything has come right for Line Of Reason and, from towards the bottom of the weights, I want him on side. 13 7 Line Of Reason23 88-8OR: 90CD 15/2 Form: 28-0077T: P T MidgleyJ: J Fanning Last run Live betting powered by Down at Newmarket it’s the first meeting of the year on the July Course and there’s a couple of good handicaps to get stuck into, starting with the Animal Health Trust Handicap at 3.05. There is also plenty of pace in this race with Yafta, Georgian Manor, Rufus King and Maksab all likely to go forward and I just wonder whether something travelling strongly in their slipstream might pick up the pieces at the finish. With that in mind I’m going to give another chance to GRAND KOONTA at 16/1 (General) after his no-show at Goodwood on his seasonal reappearance. He was keen that day and seemed to take a false step before being squeezed for room approaching the final furlong. Allowed to coast home after that, it’s encouraging that Clive Cox has turned him out just two weeks later. All must be well and he’s dropped a couple of pounds in the weights, while the pre-Goodwood argument still stands. His Mill Reef fifth suggests he could be well-handicapped in the mid-90s, the group-race entries he’s had throughout his career suggests Cox thinks plenty of him and he really should excel over a strongly-run seven furlongs given he’s related to a host of winning milers. That Goodwood run has to be forgiven, of course, but I’m prepared to do that and hope that it’s actually run the freshness out of him and brought him on. With Adam Kirby up at Haydock David Probert takes the ride, but he’s got encouraging figures for Cox (five wins from 30 at 17 per cent) and he should get a nice tow into the race on the selection from Yafta and Georgian Manor, both drawn close by. 4 3 Grand Koonta14 38-13OR: 95 12/1 Form: 42185-0T: C G CoxJ: David Probert Last run Live betting powered by Later on at Newmarket it’s the John Sunley Memorial Handicap (3.40) and I was really taken with how GOLDEN WOLF (10/1 Ladbrokes) beat the rest of the field easily at Epsom last week in the race you’ll remember as Dash Of Spice’s gamble-landed-romp. David Elsworth's horse was, indeed, chucked in, but he could be group class and being beaten six lengths off level weights was a good effort from Golden Wolf, especially as he put almost two lengths between himself and the 15 other runners. A 2lb rise looks pretty lenient and though he does keep sneaking up the weights without winning there’s plenty of hope that his first crack at 1m6f will bring about further improvement. There’s plenty of stamina on his dam’s side and his half-brother, Azamesse, won on his first go at 1m6f, while the way he kept on for a clear second last weekend suggests another quarter mile will be well within his compass. Richard Hughes’ horses are running really well and he’s due a change of luck on the July Course having had seven seconds (and a winner) from just 18 runners. 9 5 Golden Wolf7 48-10OR: 89 15/2 Form: 2132-22T: R HughesJ: S W Kelly Last run Live betting powered by Finally, there’s good racing up at Haydock and the one bet I can’t resist is the 25/1 (General) about Sir Mark Prescott’s MELINOE in the Betway Pinnacle Stakes (2.50). This Sea The Stars filly has a lot to find on the figures but that’s firmly factored into her price and there are reasons to believe she can bridge the gap. The top-rated fillies like God Given and Fosun probably need softer ground for starters, while Melinoe keeps on steadily progressing whenever she’s been raised slightly in class. Her best run was her last one, in a Class 2 handicap at Goodwood, where she would’ve appreciated a stronger gallop and I just wonder if that’s one reason why she has dropped in trip here to 1m4f. She hasn’t been beaten more than two lengths in any of her last six runs and just looks like the type of filly that will raise her game when she has to. It’s certainly interesting Prescott plunges her in at the deep end in this rather than persevering with handicaps and he reaches for the cheekpieces, too, headgear he has a good record with (17 wins from 87 at 19.54 per cent) first-time out. There looks like there is plenty more to come from this filly and at 25s it’s worth chancing she can take a giant leap forward now given the chance. 7 5 Melinoep114 49-0OR: 86 16/1 Form: 1223-23T: Sir Mark PrescottJ: L Morris Last run Live betting powered by Posted at 1700 BST on 08/06/18.
