e day runs at Thirsk on Tuesday and Matt Brocklebank has two other fancies across the cards. Sporting Life's Daily Nap, June 12 Nap: Bucaneers Vault (3.15 Thirsk) Next Best: Wufud (2.30 Salisbury) Treble: Hidden Steps (8.20 Lingfield) 3 6 Buccaneers Vault17 69-7OR: 75D 9/1 Form: 12-4677T: P T MidgleyJ: P Mulrennan Last run Live betting powered by 7 7 Wufud55 39-2OR: - 4/5 Form: 2T: C HillsJ: Jim Crowley Last run Live betting powered by 1 2 Hidden Stepsh130 49-10OR: 81C 6/1 Form: 155-356T: A M BaldingJ: William Cox (5) Last run Live betting powered by Some interesting class-droppers in the sprint handicap at Thirsk on Tuesday afternoon and none more so than Buccaneers Vault for Paul Midgley. Ridden by the trainer’s son, Tom, the grey caught the eye towards the far side of the track at York late last month when seventh behind Magic City in a Class 3 event over seven furlongs. That was definitely a step back in the right direction after a low-key effort on heavy going at Leicester and the handicapper has reacted by dropping him another 1lb in the weights. The further ease leaves him 4lb lower than when a good fourth on his seasonal return at Newcastle in March and that came over six furlongs, which bodes well ahead of the 100% Racing UK Profits Back To Racing Handicap. Buccaneers Vault first joined the Midgley team last winter and he only won once through 2017, but he performed really well on a number of other occasions, including when fourth at Thirsk. Paul Mulrennan is back in the saddle (he rode at Newcastle earlier in the year) as he returns to the venue and a big run looks likely. Wufud looks capable of progressing past Kawasir to land division one of the Dee Wilks Against The Odds Confined Novice Stakes at Salisbury. The latter has an official rating of 84 after being placed in all four starts to date, and he’d normally be good enough to win a race of this nature with something in hand. And yet it looks significant that Charlie Hills is taking him on with Wufud – in the same Sheikh Hamdan silks – after a promising debut second at Kempton behind the well-regarded Mr Marrakech, who has won since at Chelmsford. Wufud appeared to be really getting the hang of things late on that day and it wouldn’t be a big surprise to see him take a leap forward on the bare form. With Kawasir’s overall form profile now on something of a plateau, the Hills runner can strike. Hidden Steps has gone well fresh in the past and could be worth chancing in the Play Slots At 188Bet Casino Fillies’ Handicap at Lingfield. His last win – at Windsor in October – arrived after a three-month break so the fact he’s been off since early-February doesn’t put me off and he’s definitely well treated in this sort of company. Rated 91 last April, he’s now down a full 10lb to 81 and that Windsor win came off 82. His all-weather form earlier this year wasn’t anything to write home about but he looks much happier on turf and the Andrew Balding stable is clearly clicking into gear following a three winners at the end of last week. Daily Nap record: -6.88pts

Urban Icon is Anita Chambers' best bet for Tuesday and she has a tip for every race in the UK and Ireland. Burgonet can complete a quick-fire hat-trick in the feature event at Salisbury. It will be exactly two months since Mark Johnston's filly made her racecourse debut when she lines up in the British Stallion Studs EBF Margadale Fillies' Handicap and this will be her fifth appearance. The daughter of Helmet shaped with significant promise when runner-up on her Southwell introduction over an inadequate mile and she went very close to going one better at Beverley next time over a mile and a quarter, going down by just a short-head. She was not winning out of turn when making it third time lucky at Newmarket last month and an opening mark of 80 underestimated her progress as she followed up 11 days later on her first start over a mile and a half at Leicester. Burgonet is clearly versatile both ground-wise and distance-wise, so coming back to a mile and a quarter on a faster surface is not expected to be a major inconvenience. A 4lb hike is unlikely to be enough to stop her striking gold again in this £20,000 contest. Urban Icon made a big impression on his Windsor debut and is difficult to oppose in the opening Bathwick Car & Van Hire Novice Auction Stakes. The Cityscape colt looked yet another high-class juvenile off the Richard Hannon production line a fortnight ago, stretching three and a half lengths clear without being asked for maximum effort. What the form is worth is still up in the air, but Hannon was talking of Royal Ascot in the immediate aftermath and he will have to make it two from two if he is to head for the summer showpiece meeting with realistic claims. Ahlan Bil Emarati can open his account at the third attempt in the Racing To School Novice Auction Stakes at Thirsk. Kevin Ryan's inmate was third on his first start at Musselburgh and the form is rock solid with the winner, Nicki's Angel, running well in Listed company next time and the runner-up, Deep Intrigue, since scoring at Beverley. It was a shade disappointing that Ahlan Bil Emarati could not justify short-priced favouritism on his second appearance, finding little for pressure after hitting the front, but perhaps a subsequent gelding operation will help in that respect. Howman rates the best bet at Lingfield's evening fixture in the Michael Waller Memorial "Confined" Novice Stakes. Roger Varian's charge looked a winner waiting to happen after finishing third on his Newmarket debut, but he could only manage sixth at Chester's May meeting. This is a significantly weaker race, however, and entries in the Queen's Vase and the King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot suggest connections feel he is capable of far more than he has shown on the track so far. Jumping fare comes from Southwell, where Nicky Henderson's Brave Eagle can defy top-weight in the myracing.com For Royal Ascot Tips Handicap Hurdle.

Connections of Zonderland feel he is capable of ruffling a few feathers on his first start at Royal Ascot in the Queen Anne Stakes on Tuesday week. The Clive Cox-trained five-year-old is expected to come on for his seasonal return in last month's Lockinge at Newbury in the mile Group One event, provided conditions are suitable. Chris Richardson, racing manager to owners Cheveley Park Stud, said: "The plan is to go to the Queen Anne with Zonderland and Clive is very happy with him. "He needed the race in the Lockinge. Although he had his ground in the Lockinge he is a horse that can be a bit stuffy. "He has definitely got the ability and he hasn't had a lot of luck in running." Sky Bet are offering Non-Runner No Bet on the Queen Anne Stakes and make Zonderland a 33/1 outsider to win the Group One prize.

Newmarket: David Milnes
Mutafani (4.15 Thirsk, nap)
The son of Exceed And Excel was a smart winner at Chelmsford last time – form that is already working out. The Simon Crisford-trained hope has since moved well on the Al Bahathri.
Mutafani 4:15 Thirsk Others to follow Salisbury 2.30 Kawasir, 3.00 Jurz, 3.30 Affluence, 4.00 Fabulous Red, 5.30 Coverham. Thirsk 2.15 You Never Can Tell, 4.45 Dollar Value. Lingfield 6.20 Crimean Queen, 7.20 Mokhles, 8.20 Voi, 8.50 Really Super.
North: Richard Young
Maldonado (6.50 Lingfield, nap)
Largely disappointing for current stable but starts the season on a very good mark. Significant he makes the long trip to a track where his yard has a fine strike-rate.
Maldonado 6:50 Lingfield (AW) Others to follow Salisbury 3.30 Lucifugous, 4.00 Burgonet, 4.30 Firlinfeu. Southwell 6.10 New Kid In Town, 7.10 Nemean Lion, 8.10 Isaacstown Lad, 8.40 Je Suis Charlie, 9.10 Strong Team. Thirsk 2.15 Ahlan Bil Emarati, 2.45 Correggio, 3.15 Straightothepoint, 3.45 Rebel State, 4.15 Zarjaz, 4.45 Ghost, 5.15 Revenge, 5.45 Calliope.
Lambourn: James Burn
Brave Eagle (8.10 Southwell, nap)
Nicky Henderson has a good strike-rate at this venue and 3m should suit this useful son of Yeats. Has the assistance of rising star James Bowen in the saddle and a big run is expected.
Brave Eagle 8:10 Southwell Others to follow Lingfield 5.50 Grand Acclaim, 6.20 So Brave, 7.50 Ashazuri, 8.20 The Jean Genie. Salisbury 2.00 Urban Icon, 2.30 Wufud, 4.00 Sweet Charity, 4.30 Chaparral Prince, 5.00 Miss Inga Stock, 5.30 Swot. Southwell 7.10 Barkis, 7.40 The Devils Drop.
West Country: Andrew King
Avocadeau (5.00 Salisbury, nap)
Has benefited for first run of the season and can build on that with conditions in his favour.
Avocadeau 5:00 Salisbury Others to follow Salisbury 2.00 Mayfair Madame, 5.30 Bounty Pursuit Lingfield 8.50 Astute Boy Southwell 7.10 Chantecler
Racing Post Ratings: Simon Turner
Mutabaahy (5.15 Thirsk)
Endured a luckless trip when runner-up at Ripon last week. He is 3lb higher here but is fancied to gain compensation.
Mutabaahy 5:15 Thirsk Topspeed: Dave Edwards
Mutafani (4.15 Thirsk)
Showed his rivals a clean pair of heels with an authoritative success at Chelmsford last month and further reward looks on the cards.
Mutafani 4:15 Thirsk Longshot: Olly Eden
Case Key (3.15 Thirsk)
Competing off a 4lb lower mark since a Newmarket win in a better grade than this. With a positive jockey booking in Silvestre de Sousa and now upped in distance from recent outings, a better run is expected.
Case Key 3:15 Thirsk Ireland: Tony O'Hehir
Cadmium (8.00 Roscommon)
The Willie Mullins-trained six-year-old is two from two over fences and has strong claims in this 2m novice chase having landed a handicap over the same trip at the Punchestown festival in April by eight lengths under Danny Mullins, who is again on board.
The Raceform Interactive nugget
Simon Dow's four runners at Salisbury since August last year have finished 1113. Prince Rock is the trainer's only runner at the track on Tuesday and goes in the 3yo handicap over 7f (3.30).

Eve Johnson Houghton has a good record with two-year old newcomers at Salisbury (38 per cent) and My Style will look to enhance that record in the 6f novice stakes (2.00).
Ezanak (8.40 Southwell) makes his debut for trainer Dan Skelton, who is 31 per cent with recruits from other yards. Skelton fits a tongue-tie – he is 25 per cent when using this equipment for the first time.
Thirsk has proved a happy hunting ground for Chris Fairhurst and Paula Muir (50 per cent when linking up) and today they team up with The Armed Man (3.15), who has run well in two starts this season. He now looks primed for a good run having blown away the cobwebs.

Coverham 5:30 Salisbury Arrives at the top of his game with recent form figures of 1171, yet is able to compete off a mark just 8lb higher than for the first of those wins.
Trip and ground appear ideal, and he can continue to defy the handicapper.

This evening's action comes from Lingfield (5.50), Southwell (6.10) and Roscommon (6.00), all shown on At The Races. Here are the potential headline-makers at each meeting.
Sharg 7.20 Lingfield
One of the most interesting – and confusing – runners this evening is Sharg, who makes his racecourse debut in the 1m1f novice event at Lingfield.
Richard Hannon would be better known for forward two-year-olds more than backward three-year-olds, but Sharg is clearly the latter. Given he cost 500,000 guineas and is half-brother to dual Group 1 winner Dancing Rain, the fact he was gelded back in June last year is also a surprise.
He has clearly been a bit of a handful at home and taken a lot of managing but, given his pedigree, there could be any amount of ability waiting to explode on to the racecourse.
Sharg 7:20 Lingfield Ballyalton 8.10 Southwell Ballyalton has quite the backstory. He chased home none other than Faugheen in the 2014 Neptune Novices' Hurdle, won the Close Brothers' Novices Handicap Chase in 2016 and was fourth behind The Storyteller in the Brown Advisory & Merriebelle Stable Plate Handicap Chase this year.
He's also had a couple of extraordinarily long absences of 602 and 569 days.
And so we find ourselves here, with a horse who in some parallel universe never got injured and has achieved it all lining up back over hurdles off a mark of 138 in a handicap hurdle at Southwell, searching for his first win since that festival triumph in March 2016.
Wherever there is sport there are familiar tales, but no-one would begrudge Ballyalton another moment in the spotlight.
Ballyalton 8:10 Southwell Aranhill Chief 8.30 Roscommon Now an 11-year-old, and bringing up his half century of racecourse starts, Aranhill Chief is almost the exact opposite of Ballyalton as a racehorse.
He's never been to a spring festival, or rated higher than 132, but he is one of those gallant old chasers who has never been off longer than his winter break and he just so happens to be something of a Connacht National specialist – having won the 2015 and 2016 editions.
He missed the race last year but is back for some more and, having obliged at 16-1 and 14-1 off marks off 117 and 123, he lines up here priced similarly off a mark of 124.

Newmarket: David Milnes
Fairlight (7.10 Kempton, nap)
Ran a decent race on debut when third to Department Of War over 1m2f at Nottingham in April and should be suited by an extra furlong. Luca Cumani's colt has since worked well on the watered gallop.

Crafty Madam (8.40 Kempton, nap)
Capable filly who represents a top yard in decent form. She can build on a solid run at Goodwood earlier this month and should appreciate moving back up in trip.

Kraka (5.10 Haydock)
Ran his best race as a two-year-old over this course and distance and could take some pegging back off his slipping mark.
Kraka 5:10 Haydock Topspeed: Dave Edwards
Jumira Bridge (4.20 Chelmsford)
Made a promising all-weather debut at Kempton in April and was not beaten far at Newmarket last month. He put a disappointing Lingfield effort behind him at York recently and can open his account for the season.
Jumira Bridge 4:20 Chelmsford (AW) Longshot: Shane Ketteridge
Sleeping Lion (7.10 Kempton)
James Fanshawe's colt ran with promise on debut at this course in a race that has since worked out well. The step up in trip will suit and he should come on from a recent outing at Newmarket.
Sleeping Lion 7:10 Kempton (AW) Ireland: Tony O'Hehir
Ayr Of Elegance (7.50 Punchestown)
A three-time winner on the Flat in England, the six-year-old performed creditably on her hurdling debut when third at Listowel nine days ago. She finished with a slipped saddle on that occasion and looks to have strong claims in this mares' maiden.

Ryan Moore has an impressive 42 per cent strike-rate from 78 rides at Chelmsford in the last five years. All three of his mounts hold leading claims – Seniority (3.50), Homeopathic (4.50) and Drill (5.20).
Gay Kelleway has a level stakes profit of +£7.50 with her handicap debutants in the last five years. Capla Demon’s Racing Post Rating has improved on all three of his starts and Luke Morris rides for the first time in the 6.40 at Kempton.
Hugo Palmer and James Doyle, who have individual strike-rates of 30 and 14 per cent, are unbeaten when teaming up at Haydock in the last five years. They combine with Caliburn (2.10), who has shown more than enough to win a race of this nature.

Treacherous 8:40 Kempton (AW) Landed a gamble in good style over course and distance last Wednesday, and a 6lb penalty shouldn’t stop him going in again.
Stall one is a bonus for Treacherous, who looks progressive.

in today's sporting life...................... Matt Brocklebank napped an 11/2 winner at Thirsk on Tuesday and he provides the best bets for Wednesday's meetings with the Sporting Life Daily Nap running at Haydock. Sporting Life's Daily Nap, June 13 NAP: Caradoc (3.10 Haydock) Next Best: Maverick Officer (3.40 Haydock) Treble: I’ll Have Another (2.20 Chelmsford) 1 1 Caradoc18 39-8OR: -D 2/1 Form: 4-1T: Ed WalkerJ: P Cosgrave Last run Live betting powered by 4 5 Maverick Officerh18 39-1OR: 86 5/2 Form: 751-24T: D M SimcockJ: P Mulrennan Last run Live betting powered by 5 6 I'll Have Another15 29-0OR: -BF 1/1 Form: 2T: M JohnstonJ: F Norton Last run Live betting powered by Caradoc fairly bolted up at Chester’s big May meeting and looks a horse to follow for the time being, starting in the 188Bet World Cup Money Back Specials “Confined” Novice Stakes at Haydock. The Ed Walker-trained Camelot colt now has to concede weight all round but the manner of that victory, when held up before coming with a storming late run, marked him down as a three-year-old who could be contesting some really nice races come the end of the season. He's bred to get further in time – his half-brother Evening Hush is an accomplished hurdler – but there’s seemingly a lot of class to Caradoc, something he hinted at when an eyecatching fourth on debut at Kempton, and he could take a bit of beating. The chief rival looks to be once-raced Swiss Knight, who pushed a 90-rated runner quite close on debut in the winter. He’s been put away since and could have a bright future himself, though the form of that race could have worked out better. Maverick Officer can land the World Cup Betting At 188Bet Handicap. After two moderate efforts in August, he came good with a breakthrough win at Lingfield in December and he’s done well since being switched back to turf this year. He didn’t get the rub of the green when dropped back to seven furlongs at Goodwood last time but wasn’t disgraced at all in fourth and his earlier comeback run at Doncaster showed he should remain competitive from a mark in the mid-80s. He can be keen, and the hood worn last time is unsurprisingly retained, but Paul Mulrennan is a fantastic jockey when it comes to getting horses to switch off in races and a late burst could see him home on ground that clearly suits. Mark Johnston’s two-year-olds have been flying through the ranks so far in 2018 and I’ll Have Another looks destined to win races after her introductory second at Redcar. She was headed near the line that day but showed abundant raw talent and should be all the wiser for the experience. Johnston’s Chelmsford record is fantastic – he’s the leading trainer at the track – and the Bet toteplacepot At totesport.com Maiden Fillies’ Stakes looks a weak enough heat and there for the taking. Daily Nap record: -1.38pts

Nick Robson previews the quality action on Wednesday and nominates Ed Walker's Caradoc as the best bet of the day. Ed Walker's Caradoc created a huge impression when winning at Chester last time out and is taken to defy a penalty in the 188Bet World Cup Money Back Specials "Confined" Novice Stakes at Haydock. It takes an above-average recruit to win a novice event carry 6lb more than the rest, but the way Caradoc took off at Chester looked a bit special. Fourth on his debut at Kempton in December, he was sent off favourite against six rivals and he absolutely flew in the short home straight. While it was impressive to see him cross the line five lengths clear, what was perhaps even more striking was that it took Pat Cosgrave an age to pull him up. The runner-up has a rating of 88 so while he was in receipt of 6lb, it was still exciting he could dismiss him so readily. Charlie Appleby's beautifully-bred Swiss Knight rates an obvious danger but Caradoc could be anything. Luca Cumani was celebrating at Haydock on Saturday with God Given and her half-brother Plentiful is of interest in the 188Bet Cash Back If Brazil Win "Confined" Novice Stakes. Fourth of 11 on debut at Redcar, it was a typical Cumani introduction and this close relative of the top-class Postponed can be expected to take a good step forward from that. James Bethell's Ulshaw Bridge outran his odds in a valuable race at Haydock last time out and off 1lb lower in the World Cup Betting At 188Bet Handicap he should go close again. He was fourth to Royal Ascot-bound Crack On Crack On and he will enjoy conditions. It is usually worth nothing whenever William Haggas books Ryan Moore, and the fact Seniority is owned by the Queen makes it even more intriguing. There is £50,000 on offer in the Bet totetrifecta At totesport.com Moulsham Mile Handicap at Chelmsford and the course has been rewarded with a 16-runner field. A keen type, he needs to be held up so his draw in 10 is not the end of the world and expect Moore to play his hand late, just like James Doyle managed last time when scrambling home by a nose off 3lb lower. Udontdodou looks the class act in the Bet toteswinger At totesport.com Essex Sprint Handicap and can defy top weight. Rebecca Bastiman's Logi has already won a Hamilton twice recently and has sound claims of bringing up the hat-trick in the Audi Corporate Team Handicap. Lightning Charlie looks the pick in the 32Red Casino Handicap at Kempton, while Motagally is an interesting newcomer for Charlie Hills in the British Stallion Studs EBF Novice Stakes at Yarmouth. Sporting Life tips CHELMSFORD: 2.20 I'll Have Another, 2.50 Be Proud, 3.20 Courtside, 3.50 Seniority, 4.20 Udontdodou, 4.50 Hermosita, 5.20 Court Of Justice.

Jockey Raul da Silva has denied using a piece of lead with which to strike Jim Crowley in the face at Goodwood on Sunday. Crowley has claimed he was "the victim of an unprovoked attack from behind" in a changing-room altercation that led to Da Silva receiving a 21-day suspension for violent conduct. The 2016 champion Flat jockey alleged that he was struck from behind "with what felt like a piece of lead" after a "number of jockeys" questioned Da Silva's riding technique after the first race of the day. Da Silva admitted to hitting Crowley, but claimed he did not instigate what happened at Goodwood between the two jockeys. He told Press Association Sport: "I did not use any lead. I had nothing in my hand. If I had, he wouldn't have carried on riding because lead is heavy. If I had something in my hand he would have lost some teeth. "If I'd hit him with lead, why not get the police involved? Everyone took his side and I was there with nobody. I will swear on my son's life that Jim started the fight. "I like to be friends with everybody, I don't want to start trouble. It's difficult for me now. I'm not allowed to go racing for a long time, it's not fair." Crowley, who required medical treatment in hospital for facial injuries, said that allegations from Da Silva that he instigated the altercation at Goodwood were "categorically untrue". He said in a statement on Monday: "There was a minor disagreement over a race-riding incident with a number of jockeys not happy with Raul's riding. "After this, I was the victim of an unprovoked attack from behind with what felt like a piece of lead, and it is disappointing that I have then been accused of being the aggressor. "This is categorically untrue and it is notable that after a lengthy inquiry that heard from many witnesses, only one of us was suspended." Da Silva and Crowley rode in the opening seven-furlong handicap at Goodwood, in which the former finished last aboard Medieval. Crowley came home fifth of the nine runners on Charles Molson. Twenty-one days is the British Horseracing Authority's maximum recommended suspension for violent conduct, but racing's rulers said on Monday that it has "the ability to reopen such cases, if it is felt necessary".

David Simcock is looking at running Algometer in Saturday’s Sky Bet Grand Cup at York, with stablemate Curbyourenthusiasm also entered. The five-year-old is expected to strip fitter for his reappearance at Goodwood where he finished sixth of seven in a ten-furlong Listed race. Simcock said: “I’d like to think Algometer will definitely run – I’ll probably leave Curbyourenthusiasm until the Northumberland Plate. "Algometer lacked sharpness, pace at Goodwood. Now he is another year older he is probably a touch slower. He will have been rusty – he’d been a long time off. And he had a health issue at the end of April which cost us a couple of weeks." Algometer is a 12/1 chance with the sponsors for Saturday's feature. The trainer also has two entries in the mrgreen.com Live Casino Ganton Stakes at the track on Friday and underfoot conditions will determine whether eight-year-old Breton Rock or the year younger Arod line up. Breton Rock, who won a Group Two at the Qatar Goodwood Festival last year, could have his second start of the season after finishing fifth of seven in the Group Three Diomed Stakes at Epsom on Derby day. That was a race that Arod, a Listed winner at Windsor a month ago, was pulled out of due to ground that was softer than his preference. Simcock said: "Breton Rock going to Epsom was an afterthought. It wouldn’t be an ideal track for him but the ground came up easy and it was a chance to get a run into him. He’ll be much better for it. He will run at York if it’s on the slow side and Arod will run if it’s on the faster side. "Arod is in very good order at the moment. He was second at Kempton first time out this year – he dusted away a few cobwebs. And then he was good at Windsor. We would love to have run him at Epsom but in my opinion he’s definitely better on faster ground. He is a horse that looks good at home. He is not short of speed and a mile is probably his perfect trip."

Yarmouth, 13 Jun 18 Fixture Note After Race 1 the going was changed to Good to Firm (from Good to Firm, Good in places). Race 1 - 2:00pm THE BRAZIL CASH BACK SPECIAL AT 188BET HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 6) (DIV I) Permission was given for BILLY’S BOOTS to be led early to post.
The Starter reported that INDIANA DAWN refused to enter stalls. Robert Stephens was informed that the mare could not run until the day after passing a stalls test.
Silvestre De Sousa, the rider of ARCANISTA (IRE), placed second, was suspended for 2 days for using his whip above the permitted level from 1 ½ furlongs out.
Following the race Jim Crowley reported that FRANK COOL, placed fifth, hung left. Silvestre De Sousa reported that ARCANISTA (IRE), placed second, hung right under pressure.
Race 2 - 2:30pm THE BRAZIL CASH BACK SPECIAL AT 188BET HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 6) (DIV II) Phil McEntee reported that EMILY GOLDFINCH, placed third, was unsuited by the Good to Firm going on this occasion and would prefer a slower surface.
Race 4 - 3:30pm THE PLAY LIVE CASINO AT 188BET HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 6) An enquiry was held to consider the placings in this race after interference on the run to the line when initially both the winner, SEXY SECRET, ridden by Jack Mitchell and COMPETITION, placed second, ridden by Silvestre De Sousa appeared to be drifting right independently of each other before SEXY SECRET continued to drift right intimidating COMPETITION off its intended line. The Stewards considered that the interference had not improved SEXY SECRET's placing as minimal momentum was lost as a result of the interference and SEXY SECRET always appeared to be holding the second to win by a nose at the line. Mitchell was cautioned for careless riding as he allowed his mount to drift right without sufficient correction.
Following the race Daniel Muscutt reported that SPECULATOR, unplaced, was reluctant to race. Shelley Birkett reported that MAID OF ROCK (IRE), unplaced, ran too free. Jack Mitchell reported that the winner, SEXY SECRET, hung right.
The winner, SEXY SECRET, appeared to show improved form, compared with its previous run at Great Yarmouth on 16 May 2018 where the gelding finished fifth of nine, beaten by 10 ½ lengths. Lydia Pearce’s explanation that the gelding may have been suited by a change of tactics and a step up from 1 mile 2 furlongs to 1 mile 3 furlongs was noted. SEXY SECRET was routine tested.
Race 5 - 4:00pm THE 188BET WORLD CUP MONEY BACK SPECIALS HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 6) Following the race Oisin Murphy reported that CHANGE MAKER, placed seventh, was never travelling. Daniel Muscutt reported that THUNDER NORTH (IRE), unplaced, stopped quickly. The Veterinary Officer reported that a post-race examination of the colt failed to reveal any abnormalities. Jane Elliott reported that PEACE PREVAILS, placed second, hung right throughout.
The representative of David Elsworth was asked to explain the reason why he was running POLAR LIGHT here at Great Yarmouth on going described as Good to Firm having reported that POLAR LIGHT would prefer a slower surface following its run at Nottingham on 22 May. The explanation given by the trainer’s representative that the jockey had reported to them at Nottingham that the filly was unsuited by the Good to Firm going but as the filly had only been beaten by 2 ¼ lengths last time they were willing to let POLAR LIGHT take her chance today was noted.
Race 6 - 4:30pm THE ENHANCED WORLD CUP SPECIALS AT 188BET FILLIES' HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 5) An enquiry was held to consider why James Tate, was running EFFERVESCENCE (IRE) here at Great Yarmouth on going described as Good to Firm, having declared the filly a non-runner at Brighton on 29 May 2018 on ground with the same official description. The trainer stated that he did not wish to run the filly at Brighton as it was rain softened ground which had gone from Good to Firm, Firm in places to Good to Firm and in his opinion the Good to Firm here at Yarmouth may suit the filly better.
The Starter reported that TAKE SHELTER was unruly in the stalls, broke out and was withdrawn. James Tate was informed that the filly could not run until the day after passing a stalls test.
The performance of EFFERVESCENCE (IRE) which started favourite and finished seventh, was considered. James Tate could offer no explanation for the filly’s performance. EFFERVESCENCE (IRE) was routine tested.
The Stipendiary Steward reported that he had seen Joey Haynes using his mobile phone outside the phone zone. Haynes was fined £290.
Race 8 - 5:30pm THE 188BET MONEY BACK IF BRAZIL WIN APPRENTICE HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 6) Permission was given for PALMERSTON and CADEAUX BOXER to go early to post. View Stewards report Hamilton Park, 13 Jun 18 Nothing to report View Stewards report Haydock Park, 13 Jun 18 Race 1 - 2:10pm THE 188BET CASH BACK IF BRAZIL WIN "CONFINED" NOVICE STAKES (CLASS 4) (Run No More Than Four Times) (PLUS 10 RACE) Permission was given for FLINTROCK (GER) to wear a hood in the Parade Ring only.
Following the race, Daniel Tudhope reported that on pulling up PLENTIFUL, unplaced, after the winning line he felt as though something was amiss. The Veterinary Officer subsequently reported that a post-race examination of the colt failed to reveal any abnormalities. The Veterinary Officer further reported that READY TO IMPRESS (USA), placed third, lost its right fore shoe.
Race 2 - 2:40pm THE ENHANCED WORLD CUP SPECIALS AT 188BET BRITISH EBF FILLIES' NOVICE STAKES (CLASS 4) (PLUS 10 RACE) Following the race, Ben Curtis reported that ROCA MAGICA, unplaced, ran too freely. The representative of Alan King reported that PASSERINA, unplaced, was unsuited by the Good to Firm ground and would prefer a slower surface.
Race 3 - 3:10pm THE 188BET WORLD CUP MONEY BACK SPECIALS "CONFINED" NOVICE STAKES (CLASS 4) (PLUS 10 RACE) (Run no more than four times) An enquiry was held to consider why K. R. Burke was running MOUNT ARARAT (IRE) here at Haydock Park on going described as Good to Firm, having declared the colt a non-runner at Ayr on 4 June 2018 on ground with the same official description. The trainer stated that having travelled to Ayr and walked the course, in his opinion, the ground was riding faster than the official description and was unsuitable for MOUNT ARARAT (IRE). However, after walking the course today, the trainer considered that the ground at Haydock Park was not as quick as at Ayr and he was therefore happy for the colt to take its chance.
Shortly after leaving the stalls, the winner, SWISS KNIGHT, lugged left-handed, shifting MOUNT ARARAT (IRE), placed third, left-handed onto LICINIUS, unplaced, which caused CARADOC (IRE), placed second, to be intimidated slightly off its intended line and make brief contact with the running rail, 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 SWISS KNIGHT.
Race 4 - 3:40pm THE WORLD CUP BETTING AT 188BET HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 3) Following the race, Tom Eaves reported that MONT KINABALU (IRE), unplaced, was never travelling. The gelding was routine tested.
Race 5 - 4:10pm THE DAILY WORLD CUP SPECIALS AT 188bet.co.uk HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 3) SOFIA’S ROCK (FR) wore earplugs which were removed at the start.
The performance of STONIFIC (IRE), which finished unplaced, was considered. The representative of David O’Meara could offer no explanation for the gelding’s performance.
Race 6 - 4:40pm THE PLAY LIVE ROULETTE AT 188BET CASINO HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 4) Permission was given for AMOURICE (IRE) to go early to post and be mounted on the course.
Following the race, the Veterinary Officer reported that the winner, SEXY BEAST, had bled from the nose. View Stewards report Kempton Park, 13 Jun 18 Race 1 - 6:10pm THE FOLLOW @racing_uk ON TWITTER APPRENTICE HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 5) (Jockey Club Grassroots Middle Distance Series Qualifier) Permission was given for BUSKIN RIVER (IRE) to go early to post and to be mounted on the track.

View Stewards report Chelmsford City, 13 Jun 18 Race 1 - 2:20pm THE BET toteplacepot AT totesport.com MAIDEN FILLIES' STAKES (CLASS 5) (PLUS 10 RACE) Following the race, Paul Hanagan reported that FARUMP, unplaced, moved poorly throughout. The Veterinary Officer reported that a post-race examination of the filly revealed her to be moving poorly in front at the trot.
Race 2 - 2:50pm THE BET toteexacta AT totesport.com NOVICE AUCTION STAKES (CLASS 6) HAADHIR got loose in the Parade Ring prior to this race, cantered loose for a short while and collided briefly with the rail before being caught. The Veterinary Surgeon checked the colt at the start and deemed it fit to race.
Following the race, Paul Hanagan reported that MICRONIZE (IRE), unplaced, ran green.
Race 4 - 3:50pm THE BET totetrifecta AT totesport.com MOULSHAM MILE HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 2) MASHAM STAR (IRE) wore earplugs which were removed at the start, SURREY HOPE (USA), wore a nose net.
An enquiry was held to consider interference approaching the final furlong when MASHAM STAR (IRE), unplaced, ridden by Franny Norton, interfered with BRITTANIC (IRE), unplaced, ridden by Jamie Spencer, which in turn interfered with CONSTANTINO (IRE), unplaced, ridden by Paul Hanagan. Norton was cautioned for careless riding as he had manouevered to his right when not sufficiently clear causing Spencer to take a precautionary check on BRITTANIC (IRE), which in turn took CONSTANTINO (IRE) marginally off its intended line.
Approximately half a furlong out, MASHAM STAR (IRE) edged right-handed, making brief contact with BRITTANIC (IRE), but after viewing a recording of the incident it was found that no riding offence was involved.
Following the race, John Egan reported that LOVE DREAMS (IRE), unplaced, stopped quickly; the Veterinary Officer reported that a post-race examination of the colt during routine testing, failed to reveal any abnormalities. Frankie Dettori reported that PERKANUS (IRE), unplaced, moved poorly; the Veterinary Officer reported that a post-race examination of the gelding failed to reveal any abnormalities. The Veterinary Officer reported that the winner, SENIORITY, had lost its right-fore shoe. Robert Winston reported that ELJADDAAF (IRE), unplaced, had no more to give.
Race 5 - 4:20pm THE BET toteswinger AT totesport.com ESSEX SPRINT HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 2) Permission was given for UDONTDODOU to go early to post and for BOSHAM to be mounted in the chute.
An enquiry was held to consider interference entering the first bend when UDONTDODOU, unplaced, ridden by Jamie Spencer, interfered with GOLDREAM, unplaced, ridden by Franny Norton, which in turn interfered with REQUINTO DAWN (IRE), unplaced, ridden by Cam Hardie. Spencer was suspended for 2 days for careless riding as he had allowed his horse to drift left-handed on the bend without timely correction, causing Norton to have to take a check on GOLDREAM which was running keenly, causing it to make brief contact with REQUINTO DAWN (IRE) which was against the rail.
Shortly after leaving the stalls, GOLDREAM, drawn 3, jumped awkwardly and left-handed, taking REQUINTO DAWN (IRE), drawn 2, off its intended line and causing it to hamper JUMIRA BRIDGE, drawn 1. After viewing a recording of the incident, it was found that no riding offence was involved.
Race 6 - 4:50pm THE BET totescoop6 AT totesport.com FILLIES' HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 2) Approximately 1 furlong out, HERMOSITA, unplaced, which was hanging left-handed, clipped the heels of HOMEOPATHIC, unplaced, which edged marginally right-handed, but after viewing a recording of the incident, it was found that no riding offence was involved.
Following the race, Ryan Moore reported that he felt HOMEOPATHIC, unplaced, lose her action after she was struck into from behind, at which point he felt it prudent to ease the filly in the closing stages. The Veterinary Officer reported that a post-race examination of HOMEOPATHIC during routine testing, revealed the filly had sustained a wound to her left-hind leg.

All racing disciplines are catered for this evening with one Flat turf fixture (Hamilton), one all-weather meeting (Kempton) and some jumps action (Punchestown). Here are three runners to keep an eye on
Pariyan 7.00 Hamilton
Happy birthday to Grand National-winning trainer Donald McCain, who will no doubt want to mark the occasion with a winner.
McCain has two runners at Hamilton, the second of which is Pariyan, who returns from a mammoth absence in the 1m3f handicap.
Pariyan has shown little in two starts over hurdles for McCain, the most recent of which came in February 2016, but showed a touch more on the Flat for previous connections. McCain, who also owns the six-year-old, will hope he has been worth the wait.
Pariyan 7:00 Hamilton Cold Harbour 7.10 Kempton
North Light spent just one season covering mares at Lanwades Stud just outside Newmarket, with breeders hesitant to support the 2004 Derby winner.
As a result, his representatives have been few and far between but Cold Harbour runs for the stallion in a 1m3f novice stakes at Kempton.
A half-brother to Listed winner Petite Jack, Cold Harbour is likely to improve with time and experience, although it is worth noting his stable had a well-backed winner at Wolverhampton recently.
Cold Harbour 7:10 Kempton (AW) Doctor Duffy 8.50 Punchestown
“We’re all losing money training horses. It’s a loss-making business and you'd need a winner or two like that.”
So said trainer Charles Byrnes after landing a string of gambles with bumper horses at the start of the year.
Byrnes runs debutant Doctor Duffy in the 2m½f bumper at Punchestown and it is worth keeping an eye on any market movement given the trainer’s comments.

Newmarket: David Milnes
Across The Sea (2.30 Yarmouth, nap)
James Tate's two-year-olds are coming into form and this daughter of Dubawi has been showing plenty of promise in her work on the Cambridge Road Polytrack of late.
Across The Sea 2:30 Yarmouth Others to follow Newbury 1.20 Daafr, 1.50 Feline Groovy, 2.20 Scottish Jig, 2.55 Sea Of Class, 4.00 Agar's Plough, 4.35 Grandscape, 5.10 Oceanus. Nottingham 1.40 Manguzi, 2.10 Midnight Meeting, 2.40 Sharamm, 3.15 Strictly Art, 4.55 Sailing Home. Yarmouth 2.00 Alaskan Bay, 3.05 Marine One, 3.40 Marilyn, 4.10 Glencadam Master, 4.45 Gas Monkey, 5.20 Swiss Cross. Haydock 6.55 Ocelot, 7.25 Dombra, 7.55 Via Via, 8.25 Medalla De Oro, 8.55 Garden Oasis. North: Richard Young
Jabbarockie (6.55 Haydock, nap)
Ran well to chase home an in-form sort on most recent outing at Hamilton, despite looking ill-at-ease on the track. The switch to this flatter course will be in his favour, has won two of his last four turf starts and is fancied to go in again.
Jabbarockie 6:55 Haydock Others to follow Haydock 6.20 Fort Jefferson, 7.25 Pablo Escobarr, 7.55 Zabeel Star, 8.25 Save The Bees, 8.55 If We Can Can. Nottingham 1.40 True Mason, 3.15 Cool Music, 3.50 Muscika, 4.20 Naples Bay, 4.55 Double Reflection, 5.30 Traveltalk. Uttoxeter 6.10 Cockley Beck, 7.15 L'Inganno Felice, 7.45 Jassas, 8.45 Discay, 9.15 Keep The River. Yarmouth 2.00 Displaying Amber, 3.40 Chantresse, 4.10 The British Lion, 4.45 Elysee Star, 5.20 Clergyman. Lambourn: James Burn
Abel Tasman (8.25 Haydock, nap)
Up 6lb for a recent course-and-distance win, but looked good on that occasion and rise may not be enough to prevent a repeat success, especially as Ed Walker's string continue to go well.
Abel Tasman 8:25 Haydock Others to follow Haydock 6.55 Iconic Knight, 7.25 Certain Lad, 8.55 Institution. Newbury 1.20 Mr Spirit, 1.50 Solar Gold, 2.20 Existential, 2.55 Herecomesthesun, 3.30 Madeleine Bond, 4.00 Mountain Peak, 5.10 Berkeley Vale. Nottingham 1.40 Superseded, 2.10 Ajddarr, 3.50 Dark Power, 4.55 Mary Elise. Uttoxeter 8.15 Major Davis, 9.15 Mayllan. Yarmouth 3.05 Full Suit. West Country: Andrew King
Great Tempo (6.40 Uttoxeter, nap)
Showed enough at Ffos Las when runner-up last time to suggest he can be a major player on this occasion.
Great Tempo 6:40 Uttoxeter Others to follow Newbury 5.10 Hawridge Glory. Haydock 6.20 The Detainee, 8.25 Seven Clans. Uttoxeter 6.10 Andarrow, 7.45 Let's Go Duchess. Racing Post Ratings: Paul Curtis
Giving Glances (4.55 Nottingham)
Finished clear of the potentially well-treated third when runner-up at Doncaster last time and a 5lb rise probably underestimates the merit of that run.
Giving Glances 4:55 Nottingham Topspeed: Dave Edwards
Mrs Sippy (2.55 Newbury)
Displayed plenty of ability and potential when smoothly landing a Doncaster maiden in October and can make her presence felt in this Listed contest.
Mrs Sippy 2:55 Newbury Longshot: Olly Eden
Via Via (7.55 Haydock)
Recently unsuccessful in competitive Listed contests, although is edging down the weights as a result. James Tate's charge drops in distance from his recent outing, enters Class 3 company and the application of first-time blinkers may spark some improvement.
Via Via 7:55 Haydock Ireland: Tony O'Hehir
Casla (8.05 Leopardstown)
Winner of a mile maiden at the Curragh last season when trained by Fozzy Stack, the daughter of Fastnet Rock caught the eye when fifth in a handicap over this course and 1m2f trip on her first start for Peter Fahey last month. She gets the vote to score under Ronan Whelan.
Casla 8:05 Leopardstown The Raceform Interactive nugget
Trainer Hugo Palmer is 7-11 (64 per cent, +£11.28) since 2015 with two-year-olds in non-handicaps at Haydock. He has the exceptionally well-bred Dombra entered in the 7f novice event (7.25).

Diamond Runner won the 5.30 at Nottingham from the same mark last year. He won off a higher mark in August, before losing his form later in the year on soft ground.
Via Via takes a class drop and returns to arguably his best trip of a mile in the 7.55 at Haydock. James Tate is 2-6 with first-time blinkers and the application of the aid could spark improvement.
Marine One (3.05 Yarmouth) is well bred but has been a slow learner, winless from five starts to date. A gelding operation should help him start to fulfil his potential and his trainer has a 19 per cent strike-rate with those following the operation.

i today's sporting life..................... Richard Fahey takes us through his team for Royal Ascot next week with Sands Of Mali leading the raiding party. SANDS OF MALI: When you go into a meeting like Royal Ascot with a horse it’s great when everything has gone well. We’ve been able to train him the way I wanted. He’s had two runs this season. He wasn’t fully wound up in France but won there and the outing had the desired effect. I don’t want to sound too cocky but I was a fraction disappointed he didn’t win easier at Haydock. We beat the second horse, Invincible Army, in the Gimcrack but he’s improved since then and my colt toughed it out. You’d always like cover at Ascot, it’s a hard place to make all. That said the twice we’ve tried to drop him in, on debut at York and in the Middle Park, he disappointed so hopefully they’ll go quick in the Commonwealth Cup and he’ll get a good tow into the race. But he’s not a horse I’d ever take back – we’ve done that twice and it hasn’t worked. It will just be a case of soft hands for Paul Hanagan and he’ll sit wherever it takes him – whether that be in front or with a lead. I love this horse. I felt he wasn’t getting the appreciation he deserved. He was 16/1 for this before Haydock and Invincible Army was second favourite which shocked me. We think he’s top drawer, he works like a Group One horse. He needs to prove that now and go on and do it on the big stage. The beauty with him, like Ribchester, is it doesn’t matter what the ground is, he’ll handle it, and I’m really looking forward to running him. Sands Of Mali wins the Sandy Lane Sands Of Mali wins the Sandy Lane COSMIC LAW: Heading down to Epsom in the car I thought he had a chance in the Woodcote but wasn’t expecting him to win by six lengths. It’s in the back of your mind whether the Epsom factor kicked in and can the form be trusted but he travelled well, picked up well, and PJ McDonald said the best part of his race was at the finish. We’re going to the Coventry Stakes in good form, he’s quite a laid back horse and the last two races will have done him the world of good. His improvement from his first run has been incredible and he could improve again – but needs to. We're going to the Olympics here. I'd have loved to take him to the Chesham but he isn't qualified on the sire side. He's a horse we think will stay well. Cosmic Law on his way to a facile success at Epsom Cosmic Law on his way to a facile success at Epsom VANGE: We like him. He ran well first time at Beverley but just got knocked over there. In terms of his early career it might have been a good thing he didn’t get back up and win. He improved a lot from that to score on his next start at Chester. He’s very different to Cosmic Law in that he’s a very active horse, we haven’t been able to get stuck into him. We’ve done our final gallops for Ascot and he worked extremely nicely. This could be a very nice horse. You can't knock what he’s done so far. KODYANNA: We trained her sister last year, Darkanna, and it’s strange how the dams can breed them the same. Both fillies are very laid back, you don’t know how they’re going to run first time out. I was delighted with Kodyanna on debut at Nottingham – bearing in mind I think Darkanna had a Racing Post Rating of 45 after two runs. Paul felt this one was quite nice and rode her accordingly in the Hilary Needler on Saturday, treating her as the best filly in the race and bringing her through horses. She got up close home. I’m sure she’ll improve again and she’ll go in either the Queen Mary or Albany. Kodyanna (blue cap) gets up to win at Beverley Kodyanna (blue cap) gets up to win at Beverley RED BALOONS: She’s a filly that’s had two quick races. She was very unlucky at Musselburgh last time when she was knocked over twice and she’s naturally fast which I always think you need at Ascot. Whether she’s an Ascot filly we won’t know until the day. We usually have a sort out 10 days before the meeting, really put the guns to their head and find out. We didn’t get the opportunity with her so we’ll take it on trust she’s good enough. She's quick – but whether she's Ascot quick we'll see. CHARMING KID: He had a bit of a dirty nose after winning on debut at York. It’s funny, he coughed twice going round the parade ring there and four days later it had surfaced. We cleared that up and he had his Ascot gallop on Monday and we were delighted with him. He has natural speed and is very genuine. Charming Kid wins on debut for Richard Fahey at York Charming Kid wins on debut at York NINETYTHREETWENTY: He’s a horse who stays well. He beat Cosmic Law first time in a race that has worked out well and then trotted up at Pontefract the next day. He goes to the sales next week and whoever owns him I’m sure he’ll give a good account of himself at Ascot. He’ two from two and has done nothing wrong. SABRE: I like this horse a lot, he’s a very speedy colt. Things just didn’t go right in the National Stakes. I’m not saying we’d have beaten the winner that day but we were drawn next to a horse who I was worried about getting caught behind and I don’t think my colt knew what to do in front. He was changing his legs, running green, and I’m very keen on him in the Windsor Castle. I’ve won that race with a worse horse than him. Sabre (left) in action at Sandown Sabre (left) in action at Sandown GABRIAL: He definitely runs in the Hunt Cup. He ran well in the Diomed at Epsom and is actually four pounds well in here – he’s sneaked in under the handicapper’s radar as he’s now rated 107 but runs from 103! To be at his very best he’d need the ground to slow down a bit but he loves these big handicaps. If they get some rain he won’t be at the back of the field come the finish. MR LUPTON: He won well at York last time, it was a very good performance and he goes well there. I’ve always had the Wokingham in mind for him and while his penalty will make things more difficult he’s in great order. It’s amazing what winning can do for these sprinters and he’s bouncing at the moment. Mr Lupton looks well-handicapped Mr Lupton - carries a penalty in the Wokingham GROWL: He paid the price for a very successful season two years ago. He got up to 114 but is back on a working man’s mark now and has been trained for the Wokingham. I was pleased with his Chester run and he’s arriving there in tip-top shape. You could argue slower ground sees him at his best but I’m quite sweet on him providing it’s not like concrete. GEORGE BOWEN: He was very impressive at York two starts ago. People ask if I went mad with the jockey but I was just pleased to see him win again. He had one or two problems but it looks like he’s over them as he backed it up with another solid run at Goodwood. You never know but If he’s in the same form he was at York this might not be beyond him. George Bowen is an impressive winner at York George Bowen is an impressive winner at York REGULATOR: He’s been a slow burner for Cheveley Park. He was second on his only run this season and should creep into the Britannia at the bottom of the field. The step up to a mile will suit him. CROWNTHORPE: He’s in the same race. He’s had a tough enough year and I think 10 furlongs is going to be his trip moving forward but you need to stay well in the Britannia and slower ground would help him. If it’s fast it would lessen his chance, if it came up soft I wouldn’t be surprised to see him outrun his odds. NORTHWEST FRONTIER: It’s touch-and-go over whether he’ll get in the Ascot Stakes, the last two years he wouldn’t from his current mark. He’s progressing and his confidence is high, when horses win it does help. He’ll definitely stay the trip and if he does get in could go well. Best chance of the week I love Sands Of Mali but he’s in a Group One and SABRE is a horse I really like in the Windsor Castle.

Get the best Royal Ascot bets from Oli Bell, Mike Cattermole, Ed Chamberlin, Richard Fahey, Alex Hammond, Simon Holt and our racing team. Oli Bell - Order Of St George, Gold Cup I think Aidan O'Brien's star sets the benchmark in this race for all Stradivarius and Vazirabad are greatly respected. The selection was touched off in an epic renewal of the race last year and can gain compensation. (7/4 non-runner/no bet & Best Odds Guaranteed Sky Bet) Sky Bet ✔ @skybet 👑 Not long to go until #RoyalAscot. 🍊 Throwback to when Big Orange dug deep to hold off a late challenge from Order Of St George to win the @ascot Gold Cup. 🏇 What. A. Finish. 3:10 PM - Jun 10, 2018 96 24 people are talking about this Twitter Ads info and privacy Matt Brocklebank - Clemmie, Coronation There is a danger that Clemmie hasn’t trained on, but given everything we know about her sire, her trainer and her form as a juvenile, those fears are rendered negligible. Aidan O’Brien was keen to stress that it was just a minor setback that saw her miss the guineas and no doubt he has been working back from the Royal meeting ever since.Her two-year-old form is absolutely bombproof and continues to work out well, so it’s fair to suggest that a leaner, meaner Clemmie will ultimately prove herself to be among the best three-year-old fillies. It’s a fairly open market and in truth the race - as it stands - lacks a star. Step forward, Clemmie. (9/2 non-runner/no bet & Best Odds Guaranteed Sky Bet) Mike Cattermole - Romanised, St James's Palace Romanised is 8/1 in places for Tuesday's St James's Palace Stakes and that seems to completely underestimate his chance. His win in the Irish 2,000 Guineas at the Curragh, with a superb sustained run from the back - notably on good to firm - puts him in with a proper shout and is at least the equal of Tip Two Win's second in the Newmarket version. In fact, on a line through Gustav Klimt, sixth at Newmarket and third at the Curragh, that puts him almost alongside Saxon Warrior. Without Parole could be a very good horse but there is nothing like Classic form and Romanised looks one of the value bets of the week. (7/1 non-runner/no bet & Best Odds Guaranteed Sky Bet) Romanised winning the Irish 2,000 Guineas Romanised winning the Irish 2,000 Guineas - can follow up in the St James's Palace Ed Chamberlin - Clemmie, Coronation The bookmakers kept my money having backed her ante-post for the QIPCO 1000 Guineas. Now she gets the chance to prove she is the best three-year-old filly over a mile in the Coronation Stakes. Given fast ground I expect her to do just that. (9/2 non-runner/no bet & Best Odds Guaranteed Sky Bet) Richard Fahey - Sabre, Windsor Castle We have Sands Of Mali who I really like in the Commonwealth Cup but that's a Group One and I think Sabre might be our best chance of a winner in the Windsor Castle. He's a colt I've always thought a lot of and he ran well in the National Stakes when things didn't necessarily fall right for him. You never know what you're going in against at Ascot but I've won the Windsor Castle before with a horse that wasn't as good as this fellow. Sabre (left) in action at Sandown Sabre (left) - big chance in Windsor Castle Alex Hammond - Clemmie, Coronation Clemmie is my Royal Ascot banker. Aidan O’Brien’s filly made a belated return to the track in the Irish 1000 Guineas after missing the English version due to a small setback. She is sure to improve for that run last month and whilst she is a speedy filly, I think she can win the Coronation Stakes on Friday. I’ve been waiting for her to hit top form and I hope it happens here. (9/2 non-runner/no bet & Best Odds Guaranteed Sky Bet) Simon Holt - Hydrangea, Duke Of Cambridge Hydrangea has an obvious chance in the Duke Of Cambridge Stakes on Tuesday despite being beaten on her reappearance at The Curragh. Like so many of Aidan O’Brien’s horses, she should improve for that run and any reproduction of her two Group One victories or close second to stable companion Rhododendron in the Prix de l’Opera last autumn should put her in a different league to the opposition here. (7/2 Sky Bet) Ben Linfoot - Lady Aurelia, King's Stand Stakes I really like Battaash, but there are a few concerns with him ahead of the King's Stand. The most important one is keeping a lid on him pre-race amid the atmosphere and fanfare of the opening day of Royal Ascot. The second is his best two performances have come with significant cut in the ground. Lady Aurelia loves it fast, she loves Ascot and the reports from Wesley Ward couldn't be any more positive about her current well-being. At around 3/1, she looks lovely banker material. (3/1 Sky Bet) David Ord - Crystal Ocean, Hardwicke We won't be getting rich with this one but Sir Michael Stoute's charge is worth the wait. He's a typical Freemason Lodge improver and showed the benefit of his Sandown reappearance when running away with the Aston Park Stakes at Newbury. He's open to more progress over a mile-and-a-half and can take this before going onto contest even more prestigious prizes through the summer and autumn. (6/4 Sky Bet) Crystal Ocean wins under Moore Crystal Ocean - looks banker material in the Hardwicke

Anita Chambers makes Sea Of Class her best bet at Newbury on Thursday and she has a tip for every race in the UK and Ireland. William Haggas' patient approach with Sea Of Class can continue to pay dividends in the Johnnie Lewis Memorial British EBF Stakes at Newbury. The Newmarket handler could so easily have thrust this impeccably-bred daughter of Sea The Stars into the Classic maelstrom at Epsom earlier in the month, but instead opted to take a long-term approach with what appears to be a very promising filly indeed. She will be having just her third start, having been narrowly edged out on her Newmarket maiden bow in April before opening her account in another Listed heat at this track last month. Sea Of Class impressed with a two-length victory that day, coming from last to first off a bit of a muddling pace, before passing the post with plenty seemingly in hand. She must shoulder a 3lb penalty for that win as she lines up over the same 10 furlongs, but her Group One entries in the near future demonstrate the regard in which she is held and it will be disappointing if she cannot hit the mark again before switching up in class. Glencadam Master can defy top weight in the Burlington Palm Hotel Of Great Yarmouth Handicap at the seaside venue. He certainly would not be one of John Gosden's stable stars, but he showed some decent form as a juvenile, although he has yet to really build on that this term. His recent second in first-time blinkers showed little promise, though, and if he can take a more restrained approach through the early stages, he might have enough in reserve to fend off his rivals. David O'Meara could be in for a fruitful day with both Muscika and Escobar holding live chances. Muscika goes in the Enhanced World Cup Specials At 188Bet Handicap at Yarmouth having opened his account for the season at Ayr last Monday. He must carry a 6lb penalty for that win here, but following his reassessment by the handicapper, that still puts him 3lb well in so it is easy to see why O'Meara has opted for a swift return. Escobar's claims in the Develop Ineo Print Copy Scan Store Handicap at Haydock may not be quite so clear-cut, but it is interesting that this gelding bypassed an Irish Group Three option to run here. Previously trained by Hugo Palmer, Escobar was a Listed winner as a juvenile and while not disgraced in some classy events as a three-year-old, he was clearly below Pattern level and was duly shipped out of the yard. Escobar was not a cheap purchase at 100,000 guineas last autumn, but his recent third at Doncaster showed he might be getting back on track now and a mark of 95 puts him 11lb below his highest, which makes him a tempting proposition. Entered in a couple of big handicaps at Royal Ascot next week, victory would enhance his chances of making the cut. Sporting Life tips: HAYDOCK: 6.20 The Detainee, 6.55 Ocelot, 7.25 Drogon, 7.55 Escobar, 8.25 Parole, 8.55 Garden Oasis.

David Ord previews Thursday's meetings with the Sporting Life Daily Nap running on Haydock's evening card. Sporting Life's Daily Nap, June 14 NAP: Garden Oasis (8.55 Haydock) Next best: Glencadam Master (4.10 Yarmouth) Treble: Bumble Bay (3.15 Nottingham) 2 4 Garden Oasis36 39-6OR: 74 7/4 Form: 64-4T: Sir Michael StouteJ: D Tudhope Last run Live betting powered by 1 4 Glencadam Masterb12 39-10OR: 82D 2/1 Form: 321-482T: J H M GosdenJ: L Dettori Last run Live betting powered by 10 2 Bumble Bayp,h,t21 88-7OR: 45 5/1 Form: 70844-3T: Robert StephensJ: S De Sousa Last run Live betting powered by Garden Oasis was a big eyecatcher on his seasonal reappearance and is a confident choice to land the Silk Mill Ripponden Supporting Whitaker Racing Handicap at Haydock. Sir Michael Stoute’s charge finished fourth behind Adjutant on his return to action, beaten just over a length, and showed signs of inexperience. He stayed on strongly in the closing stages having found himself poorly positioned and will relish the step up to ten furlongs on his handicap debut here. He starts life in this sphere from a mark of 74 and it will be a major surprise if he isn’t rated significantly higher by the end of the campaign. Frankie Dettori can guide Glencadam Master to an all-the-way success in the Burlington Palm Hotel Of Great Yarmouth Handicap. John Gosden’s charge was back to form in first-time blinkers in a batter race than this at Doncaster last time and runs from the same mark with the headgerar retained here. There doesn’t look to be much pressure on for an early lead and with the former champion jockey dictating the fractions, he will be very hard to pass. Silvestre De Sousa can partner Bumble Bay to victory in the Play Live Roulette At 188Bet Casino Handicap at Nottingham. He is an eyecatching jockey booking for Robert Stephens’ charge who has been running with credit of late was dropped a pound for a solid effort at Lingfield last time. A mark of 45 clearly reflects he is of limited ability but this is a weak contest and he looks ready to open his account. Daily Nap record: -2.38pts

Jockey Chris Timmons was hit with bans totalling 12 days, trainer Eddie Cawley fined €3,000 and his horse Fruits Of Glory banned for 60 days under the non-trier rule at Punchestown on Wednesday evening.
Fruits Of Glory finished a staying-on fifth in the 2m5f beginners' chase, beaten 34.5 lengths behind winner Lost Nick, with both rider and trainer found in breach of Rule 212A (ii) after stewards inquired into the running and riding.
In his evidence, Timmons stated that his instructions were to "settle his mount early on, creep into the race and to do the best he could".
Adding that his mount was a "difficult type that runs very free when in company and chokes when he puts himself under pressure".
Timmons also reported that his mount had choked early on in this race and throughout but, despite this, felt his mount "jumped well apart from the last", before staying on well past tired horses in the closing stages.
Cawley confirmed the instructions and expressed his satisfaction with the ride. He referred to the horse's previous form, how difficult he is to settle in his races and that he rides out alone at home in an attempt to get him to relax.
However, the stewards found that the horse had not been ridden to achieve the best possible placing and penalties were issued.
Having been handed a ten-day ban for breaching Rule 212, Timmons picked up an additional two-day suspension for failing to report initially to officials that the horse had choked.
