The Curragh's three-day Irish Derby meeting kicks off tonight on At The Races, while the fixtures at Chester and Newmarket are broadcast on Racing UK. Here are three horses to keep in mind
Penwortham 8.50 Chester
Everyone knows how much Marwan Koukash loves winners at Chester and it seems he may be in store for another with Penwortham, who has been solid in the betting this morning.
Trained by Richard Fahey – who also runs the owner's Gabrial The Tiger – the son of Dandy Man has won twice at the venue, including once over this distance. He appears on a handy mark and in theory has the perfect draw in stall one.
Penwortham 8:50 Chester Foreign Secretary 8.55 Curragh
He's got a gorgeous pedigree and he's trained and ridden by the world's best. What's not to like about Foreign Secretary, who is a son of supersire Galileo out of dual Guineas heroine Finsceal Beo?
He didn't shine on his only start last year, finishing down the field in a Dundalk maiden, but stepping up to 1m2f should suit Aidan O'Brien's inmate, and Ryan Moore is on board.
Foreign Secretary 8:55 Curragh Escalator 9.00 Newmarket
Pens and notebooks must have been at the ready when Escalator got off the mark in fine style at Doncaster 12 days ago.
Still lightly raced after just four appearances, the Cape Cross gelding has a penalty to concede to his four rivals but that still leaves him 4lb well in for trainer Charlie Fellowes, who is optimistic of another bold show. He has booked the high-flying James Doyle.
Escalator 9:00 Newmarket (July)

The rider and the Clerk of the Course were interviewed and shown recordings of the incident. Having heard their evidence and viewed recordings of the incident, the Stewards accepted Miss Steele’s explanation that having lost her irons and having only regained them shortly before the bend, she had been unable to steer round the rail spurs. The Stewards found that THINK AHEAD had taken the wrong course and was therefore disqualified.
Mr Luca Morgan, the rider of ORMSKIRK placed second, was suspended for 9 days for using his whip above the permitted level from approaching the final hurdle.

IN TODAY'S SPORTING LIFE................... Ben Linfoot seeks out the best Value Bet selections for Northumberland Plate day at Newcastle with three tips advised at 10/1, 12/1 and 33/1. Recommended Bets: Value Bet, Newcastle, June 30 1pt e.w Hyperfocus in 12.20 Newcastle at 33/1 For details of advised bookmakers and each-way terms, visit our transparent tipping record It’s been a tough year for Saeed bin Suroor, but his horses have finally started to fire in June and he can end the month with a bang by landing the Stobart Rail & Civils Northumberland Plate Handicap at Newcastle (2.05) with NATURAL SCENERY (12/1 Coral, Ladbrokes) on Saturday. With just over 60 runners for the first five months of the year combined, Godolphin’s original trainer has been put in the shade by the continued success of Charlie Appleby - who has won the Derby with Masar and the King’s Stand with Blue Point in June alone. But Bin Suroor has been fighting back the last few weeks, in numbers terms at least, with his 60 runners in June pretty much matching what has run from his yard the previous five months and his 11 winners at an 18 per cent strike-rate is a healthy enough return. They’re certainly encouraging with Natural Scenery’s comeback in mind, as she has a tremendous record on Newcastle’s Tapeta, looks fairly treated on her best form and has an excellent record when fresh as well. Two from three at the track, Natural Scenery was second in this race last year on her only defeat at Gosforth Park, finishing between the winner Higher Power and fourth home Lord George. This time around she’s 3lb better off with Higher Power for a half-length defeat and 11lb better off with Lord George who was a length behind her a year ago, so that alone is a good indication of how well-handicapped she is. 12 14 Natural Scenery91 59-3OR: 101CD 9/1 T: S bin SuroorJ: P Hanagan Form: 38-3549 Live betting powered by Third in the Ebor off 105 after that, she’s dropped 4lb to 101 on the back of four defeats in Meydan, but they were in good company, came inside an eight-week period and she’s a mare that has always run best when given time between her races. Indeed, she won first-time out after 342 days off in 2016, won after a 92-day break in October of that year and her second in last year’s Plate came on the back of a 78-day absence. The three months she’s had off since Dubai look ideal, then, and with a wide draw looking no inconvenience on the limited evidence we have from the two mile races on the Newcastle Tapeta, she can go well at a nice price. Two of the main reasons that she’s available at those odds are Withhold and Amazing Red, a couple of stayers on the up. Both have excellent chances as their market positions indicate, but I’m happy to take them on. Withhold had a run before he landed that monster gamble in the Cesarewitch last year, so he might well need this and this is his Tapeta debut as well, while Amazing Red can be keen in his races and he’ll have to settle better if he’s to see out the two miles at this track. In the consolation race, the Betfred Northumberland Vase Handicap (1.30), the 10/1 (Bet Victor, Coral) about Iain Jardine’s BEDROCK looks worth snapping up. The ex-Dan Skelton hurdler, rated 145 in that sphere after his Grade One third at Aintree in April, absolutely bolted up on his third start on the level for his new handler at Musselburgh on June 9. He tanked through that race, winning by over two lengths from a well-handicapped course specialist without being shown the whip, and is officially 3lb well-in for this under a 5lb penalty. 15 20 Bedrockp,t21(ex 5) 59-0OR: 82D 8/1 T: I JardineJ: Fran Berry Form: 223/521Last Run Live betting powered by Jardine knows exactly what it takes to win this type of race thanks to his exploits with the likes of Nakeeta and Shrewd and he’s booked Fran Berry, a jockey who won this race last year on London Prize, to do the steering. Bedrock is yet to run on a Tapeta surface, but Jardine runs enough at the track to know what is required and there's encouragement that he’s by Fastnet Rock, a sire with a good record at the course with his progeny (13 wins from 54 runners at 24 per cent). Talking of sire stats, Intense Focus is nine from 33 at 27 per cent on the Newcastle Tapeta and I think his HYPERFOCUS is overpriced at 33/1 (General ¼ 1,2,3) in the opening Betfred ‘Supports Jack Berry House’ Handicap at 12.20. Hugo Palmer’s horse won on his only start at Newcastle when he won a novice race as a two-year-old and he improved for being gelded at three, winning handicaps off 85 and 90 at Haydock in September last year. Rated 98 at the start of this season, he’s dropped to 92 after barely beating a rival in three runs but he has had valid excuses for those efforts for my money. 11 4 Hyperfocus51 49-5OR: 92CD 22/1 T: H PalmerJ: Louis Steward Form: 110-600Last Run Live betting powered by First-time back after wind surgery at Bath in March the ground was unsuitably heavy, while he showed a lot of speed on the wrong part of the track at Newmarket next time before being heavily eased when his chance had gone. Then, last time, he was drawn out in stall 10 at Chester and was unsurprisingly trapped wide all the way, Josephine Gordon giving up the fight on him in the straight when all chance was already gone. He might well be out of sorts, but at 33/1 it’s worth forgiving him those runs with the chance that his reduced handicap mark and return to this surface will see him in a much better light. Posted at 1700 BST on 29/06/18. Ben Linfoot's Value Bet aim: The Value Bet is designed to generate long-term profit by searching for overpriced horses in the feature weekend races and at the big Festivals in the UK. Running total: +366.34pts to advised stakes/prices (from inception of Value Bet column in January 2010 to current).

Richard Fahey has high hopes for Ventura Ocean at Newcastle and has a horse-by-horse guide to another bumper Saturday team. Richard Fahey: Best chances 1255 Newcastle 5 7 Kimberella24 89-3OR: 109D 4/1 T: R A FaheyJ: P Hanagan Form: 263172Last Run Live betting powered by 1430 Chester 2 6 Powerallied21 59-10OR: 88CD 4/1 T: R A FaheyJ: J Garritty Form: 718-224Last Run Live betting powered by 1550 Newcastle 4 9 Ventura Ocean15 29-2OR: - 8/13 T: R A FaheyJ: P Hanagan Form: 2Last Run Live betting powered by I felt Kimberella was a little bit unlucky in the Betfred TV Chipchase Stakes at Newcastle last year so we head back there with a little unfinished business on Saturday. He’s in great order at the moment, we’re very, very happy with him and he should run a big race. Tony Hamilton felt Suegioo was going to win at Pontefract on Sunday and I’m pleased he was proved right! It was great to see him get his head in front again. He’s drawn one for the Betfred Northumberland Vase Handicap which isn’t ideal for a horse like him who drops himself out. The hope is they go flat out up front and we’ll be coming home late to pick up the pieces. He’ll need luck but winning can do wonders for a horse and you never know. It’s been a very frustrating time with Stamp Hill as he’s a horse who just wants some slow ground somewhere. He’s too good to run in most all-weather races so we’re going down the claiming route. I'm not sure what will happen but I hope he goes well. We run three in the ADT Workplace EBF Novice Stakes and I’ll be surprised and disappointed if Ventura Ocean doesn’t win it. He ran an absolute blinder on debut at York and it will take a good one to beat him here. Jazz Hands has been disappointing and needs to go down the handicap route. This is his third run so he should be able to do that after this. He hasn’t shown a great deal in his two outings to date but we’ll keep trying. Zip ran ok at Pontefract on debut and will win races at some stage but I’d be surprised if he finished in front of Ventura Ocean. Prying Pandora is in the sales at Newmarket but runs in the Britcon Handicap first. She’s been running okay and is very well handicapped. Everything needs to fall right for her but don’t be surprised to see her run a big race if it does. We run three in the Sun Bets Download The App Novice Stakes at York. The pick of them is probably Coolagh Magic, a horse we like. We fancied him first time up at Ripon but he had an issue with the stalls. That’s the main thing for him on Saturday – dealing with that – but he goes alright at home and will run well if everything goes smoothly. Gabrial The One is quite nice and he’s a lot quicker than his pedigree would suggest. Coolagh Magic has more natural speed but this one will win a maiden at some stage – whether that’s at York on Saturday we'll have to see. Angel Sarah is a very honest filly who will want further in time but this is a good starting point for her. Lady In Question has been running consistently well all year. It’s hard to say she’s going to go out and win the Bet & Watch At sunbets.co.uk Fillies' Handicap as she hasn’t improved but she’ll run her race and if that’s good enough, well that’s great. Starlight Romance has a big weight in the same race and we’re claiming five off her with Connor Murtagh to help out. She showed a great attitude to win here last time and can run a big race despite a five pounds higher mark. International Man ran a good race at Leicester last time – I thought he’d got up that day. He steps up in trip for the Like Sun Bets On Facebook Handicap and will run well if he stays. It would be great to see him win for owner Phil Smith. Our other runner Spray The Sea ran a lot better than the finishing position suggests at Wolverhampton. He finished fifth but everything that could go wrong did. He was stuck out wide and had to drop right in to get cover and then came home well. He’s very honest and handicapped to win races so don’t be drawing a line through him. Crownthorpe is a horse I’ve always liked. He’s another going up in trip – in his case to ten furlongs for the sunbets.co.uk Handicap. If it brings about any improvement he definitely has a chance. Paddy Power is our runner in the Follow Sun Bets On Twitter 'Jump Jockeys' Nunthorpe' Handicap. I do think they need to look into how much weight horses are being asked to carry in races like this. The top weight has 11st 10lb which is an awful lot for a Flat horse. I think it needs to come down. Anyway, Paddy Power is his own man and will be fine with 11st 4lb on his back – and if he fancies it and is in the same form as when winning here last time he’d be there or thereabouts. Andok ran back into a bit of form when second at Chester last time, which was encouraging. He’s a hard horse to sum up right now but if he stays the trip in the sunbets.co.uk World Cup Betting Apprentice Handicap he’ll go well. Liquid Gold was fourth over course and distance and is capable of running a good race again but will need a bit of luck from her draw. I thought Powerallied ran a blinder when fourth at Haydock last time and we know he loves Chester. He’s drawn wider than you’d like in the Schweppes 1783 Tonic Water Handicap but heads there in great form. He’ll go well. We also run Wirral Girl. She was very keen as a two-year-old but had seemed to settle down at home. She pulled hard at Nottingham on her reappearance though and overraced but still ran well in third and I think the track here will suit her. Gangland is running well. He’s in the sales in two weeks’ time and runs in the Matthew Clark Handicap. I think seven furlongs around there is going to really suit him. The worry is he just missed the kick at Ayr last week – he can’t afford to do that here. I’m just a fraction worried five furlongs at Chester is going to be a tad sharp for Gabrial The Wire. He improved a lot from his first run to second and has improved again since. If he can lay up in the Pimms Novice Stakes he’ll run a big race. Monaco Rose is disappointing and needs to bounce back in the Woodford Reserve Handicap. She’s well handicapped and capable of going well but isn’t running to her best right now. Boundsy has got the coffin box draw for the Jim Beam Handicap which is a shame as he loves the track. He’ll need all the luck this time though. We’ve been running Gabrial’s King over a mile-and-a-half of late as they were the only races at Chester he could get in. Two miles is his trip and he gets it in the Laurent Perrier Handicap and should bounce back to form. Akela Moon has got to step up on what she’s done so far in the Betway Empress Fillies' Stakes at Newmarket. We’re chasing a bit of Black Type with her and I’d be over the moon if she finished in the first three. She’s very tough and genuine and tries hard. Gabrial was left a bit at the start of the Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot and after 100 yards was going to struggle to get into it. He can do that and Frankie Dettori looked after him. He heads to the sunbets.co.uk Midsummer Stakes at Windsor and small field races like this can suit him. We just need something to go a good gallop in it. We only have one runner at Doncaster’s evening card – Danehill Desert in the Gilks Fencing 'Here To Have Fun' Handicap. He’s been a fraction disappointing this horse, he’s well handicapped but hasn’t won the last twice when I thought he might. He’s had excuses though and if he gets it together maybe this is the day he gets back on track.

Views from connections and Man On The Spot verdicts ahead of Saturday's feature races, including the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle. 12:55 Newcastle - Betfred TV Chipchase Stakes (Group 3) Click here for full racecard and free video form Views from connections Richard Fahey - Kimberella "He's in good form. He ran in it last year and was a bit unlucky. There's some unfinished business, but it's a very competitive race and a very open race. At least he handles the track." Richard Hannon - Yafta "It is a big step up for him, but he is going the right way. I think he wants seven furlongs, but six furlongs at Newcastle should suit him. I thought he was going to win last time, but he could not quite get past the winner in the last 50 yards. However, he was giving him plenty of weight." Never Back Down - Hugo Palmer "I'm very happy with him. He's less to find to win the Chipchase than he had to win the Carnarvon. He's been in good form at home and it's fingers crossed." Man On The Spot verdict 7 1 Top Scorep112 49-3OR: 103D 15/2 T: S bin SuroorJ: Oisin Murphy Form: 04-5213 Live betting powered by Hugo Palmer sent out last year’s winner and Never Back Down could go well taking on older horses today having won a Listed sprint at Newbury. Intisaab and Kimberella filled the places last term with Aeolus back in fourth and the former pair are hard to separate while Above The Rest found Kimberella too good earlier this year but won over 7f at York a fortnight ago. Listed winner Dream Of Dreams hasn’t raced since April’s seasonal debut in the Abernant at Newmarket but this is easier and TOP SCORE was third behind higher rated sprinters than these at Meydan in March having won at the same track before that. There should be more to come from the Godolphin charge this year and Saeed bin Suroor’s yard has recently hit top form. 13:30 Newcastle - Betfred Northumberland Vase Handicap (Consolation Race for The Northumberland Plate) Click here for full racecard and free video form Man On The Spot verdict 2 7 Dannyday11 69-8OR: 95CD 7/1 T: Sir Michael StouteJ: Jim Crowley Form: 2011/40Last Run Live betting powered by DANNYDAY missed the whole of 2017 but ran well for a long way over the marathon 2m4f in the Ascot Stakes last time. He won this prize in 2016 and Sir Michael Stoute’s charge gets another chance. Graceland finished in front of High Command when beaten only a neck in last year’s renewal and has obvious claims on that form while The Grand Visir won at Haydock attempting 2m for the first time and there looks more to come from him. Euchen Glen finished well ahead of Star Of The East when scoring at Ayr but saves his best for that track while 2014 Chester Cup winner Suegioo finally got his head back in front when scoring over 2m2f at Pontefract last weekend. Bedrock and Chocolate Box face a tougher task than of late but Financial Conduct is an intriguing contender on his debut for David Simcock having only raced at Dundalk so far and winning three times over 1m4f. 13:45 Newmarket Betway Criterion Stakes (Group 3) Click here for full racecard and free video form Views from connections Charlie Hills - Dutch Connection "He ran a bit flat at Haydock. He travelled into the race really well, but he was not the same horse for whatever reason. He probably had a hard race at Newbury. I've been happy with him at home. He will like the ground and the trip is perfect. If he produces his Newbury form he should go close." Chris Richardson, racing manager - Larchmont Lad "Larchmont Lad is in good form. It is a very tough race, as they are very similar-rated horses. Initially we were a bit concerned that it would be too quick for him at Haydock, but he seemed to handle it well. David is happy with him. It was frustrating he got demoted in a Listed race last year, but that is racing and we always thought he was a good performer. He has raced over further, but seven furlongs suits him well and that certainly looks his favourite trip at this point in time." Richard Hannon - Tabarrak "Tabarrak is in great form. It's the ideal race for him and I thought he did nothing wrong last time out. He is as tough and genuine as they come and he should run his race again. One of these races is going to fall his way. No one would begrudge him a win in a race like this. He is a lovely character and is well liked in the yard." David Elsworth - Sir Dancealot "It is a very competitive race with the ratings of the top horses all very close, but I am optimistic. He is back to his strongest distance after taking on some formidable opposition - arguably the world's best sprinters - in the Diamond Jubilee. He showed he is suited by the seven furlongs of the July Course in last year's Bunbury Cup and he handles this fast ground, which they do a very good job preparing. He's a gelding and takes his racing pretty well these days. He's a very fit horse and I would hope that you will see the same horse on Saturday that you saw last week. He likes a strong pace as he likes to do his running in the second half of the race." Man On The Sport verdict 6 6 Tabarrak21 59-5OR: 111D 4/1 T: R HannonJ: Dane O'Neill Form: 921-613Last Run Live betting powered by Dutch Connection was a huge disappointment in this grade at Haydock. He never looked likely to take a hand in the finish and was behind both Larchmont Lad and TABARRAK. He would have been the form choice on an earlier fourth in the Lockinge but has questions to answer now and Richard Hannon’s gelding can come out on top this time. He has only a neck to find with Larchmont Lad and almost won in this grade at Salisbury last year – a subsequent defeat of Accidental Agent at Newbury has worked out well. Sir Dancealot and So Beloved probably exceeded expectations in their respective races at Royal Ascot but Lake Volta was firmly put in his place in the Jersey Stakes. Mankib has plenty to find on these terms. 14:05 Newcastle - Stobart Rail & Civils Northumberland Plate Handicap (Heritage Handicap) Click here for full racecard and free video form Views from connections Roger Charlton - Withhold "I think he's well, but you have to remember this is his first run of the year. We were planning to give him a prep race three weeks ago, but he wasn't quite right at the time. Some of our horses have been slow to come to hand and we just had to hold him back. I think he'll improve. The draw (11) looks OK to me. This is his first run of what we hope will be a long season. This race has been one of the targets, but I don't think people should get carried away just because he was an easy winner of the Cesarewitch. There are some good horses in this race." Patrick Mullins - Lagostovegas "It was a fantastic performance at Ascot, the first-time hood helped and Andrea Atzeni gave her a fantastic ride. It will be her first time on the all-weather, which is a bit of an unknown, but she's at the bottom of the weights and will stay. She must have a good chance and she came out of the race so well there was nothing telling us not to run. Before Ascot we were worried about her staying two and a half (miles), so the trip is no worry here. It's great prize-money and hopefully she can get some more sterling. She was home last Wednesday, came out of the race in great form so we decided to have another crack." James Fanshawe - Higher Power and Lord George "He's (Higher Power) 1lb higher than last year but he loves the all-weather. He ran a good race last year and ran a good race at Chelmsford last time out as well. He had a wind operation over the winter on the back of a couple of bad runs on turf. He had a break and we thought the race at Chelmsford would be a nice stepping stone for the Plate. I'm never that confident, especially for a race like the Plate where you need a lot of luck in running. The stats aren't in his favour, but he does love the all-weather and he has got some class and he appears in good form." "Lord George ran really well at Lingfield and the winner has franked the form since. He loves it on the all-weather and he had a good winter. He's taken on a new lease of life since he's gone back on the all-weather. It's very hard to separate them and hopefully they will be competing at the right end of the race." Mark Johnston - Time To Study "Time To Study has a lot of weight, but he's earned it. He's the class horse in the race. He's dropping down out of Pattern company back into a handicap and he's proven over the trip. He's going to take quite a lot of beating, but at the same time we've got Watersmeet in there, who is another very consistent horse, particularly on the all-weather. This race is tailor-made for him as well." Man On The Spot verdict 12 14 Natural Scenery91 59-3OR: 101CD 8/1 T: S bin SuroorJ: P Hanagan Form: 38-3549 Live betting powered by Withhold had just the two outings last year but won the Cesarewitch at Newmarket on the second of those occasions. But he still faces a stiff task today raised 12lb for his seasonal debut. Higher Power won last year’s renewal off a similar mark when just getting the better of NATURAL SCENERY (NAP) with stablemate Lord George back in fourth and Sir Chauvelin and Clever Cookie further behind. The runner-up was also returning from a lay-off last year and the Godolphin mare takes on Higher Power on more favourable terms today. Nakeeta had the selection back in third when landing last season’s Ebor at York and can figure while Irish raider Lagostovegas carries 5lb extra for winning the Ascot Stakes last time. Amazing Red is also penalised after winning over 1m6f at Newmarket with a below par Byron Flyer well beaten while Curbyourenthusiasm is a rare winner nowadays but is still capable at this level. 1635 Curragh - GAIN Railway Stakes Middleham Park's Mike Prince - Marie's Diamond "It was good to get back to winning ways last time out at Chester. We've just put a line through Epsom, we went there confident but I think the ground was probably too soft and he took Cosmic Law on from a long way out and was soon beaten. "We thought we had to have another run to decide what we did with him, so it was pleasing to see him win. The choice was Ascot or wait for this and we decided to wait. As it comes quickly after Ascot, Aidan O'Brien tends not to run his best two-year-old and we won it a few years ago with Kool Kompany." Aidan O'Brien - Van Beethoven "He's in good form. He ran very well in Ascot and seems to be in good form since. It looked in Ascot, obviously, that he would get further than five (furlongs). It was much the same thing with Land Force at Ascot. He was coming home well and he seems in good form since." Fozzy Stack - Highland Fortune "The maiden he ran in first time couldn't have worked out any better. Hopefully he'll run a good race. I suppose it really revolves around Aidan's horses. Our horse was impressive the last day and he's been in good order since. We think he's a nice horse in the making. We're coming back in trip a furlong, but I don't think that will bother him really. He's certainly not short of pace, it looked like he could have won at any trip the other day." Man On The Spot verdict 8 4 Van Beethoven7 29-3OR: -D 7/4 T: A P O'BrienJ: R L Moore Form: 3124Last Run Live betting powered by Mick Channon's youngsters have been in outstanding form all season and Certain Lad has contributed a couple of victories. He's taking a leap in class but wouldn't be travelling without high expectations. Highland Fortune made a promising start here before landing an auction event at Leopardstown in very good style while Invasion Day battled on nicely at Cork, though will need more here. Marie's Diamond travels from North Yorkshire after making all at Chester so he obviously has speed to burn but this looks another for Ballydoyle. VAN BEETHOVEN is the pick of Ryan Moore after finding the minimum too short in the Windsor Castle a week ago and he's just preferred to Land Force, a very good third in the Norfolk Stakes when also ridden by Moore.

Don't miss the latest tips from the major training centres up and down the country ahead of another hot and hectic Saturday in the world of racing. Cool Sky could prove a sound each-way wager in the Betfred Northumberland Vase Handicap at Newcastle on Saturday. Ian Williams took this prize 12 months ago with the highly-talented London Prize and is plotting a similar course with the selection. London Prize won the Goodwood Handicap on his way to winning here, and Cool Sky also put his name on that roll of honour last August. Although he threw in one or two duff performances over hurdles after that success, he showed with his win in a handicap at Aintree last month that he was back in form, and he should come on for that run. The main event - the Stobart Rail & Civils Northumberland Plate Handicap can go the way of James Fanshawe's classy Higher Power. He won this race 12 months ago and while unable to develop into a Pattern-race performer, he finds himself returning to Gosforth Park of just 1lb higher than last year. He also showed up well enough behind Weekender at Chelmsford, since when he's been kept fresh for another crack at this. Fanshawe is hopeful his string are coming to the boil and confidence is quite high in the camp, with stable companion Lord George also worthy of each-way support. Dream Of Dreams will have to handle the Tapeta surface, but is a useful performer on his day and looks worth an each-way interest in the Group Three Betfred Chipchase Stakes. He enjoyed a good first season with Sir Michael Stoute, with Listed wins at Lingfield and Doncaster in 2017, and is reported back in good form after a short break. His yard are in much better nick than when he made his only start so far this season in the Abernant at Newmarket in April. The Newcastle nap on Saturday is Garrick in the Britcon Handicap over 10 furlongs. John Gosden does exceptionally well with the runners he sends to the north east and this Denford Stud-owned son of Galileo has seemingly blossomed since being narrowly denied at Windsor. His maiden win came on this Tapeta track and there's a buzz about the camp ahead of his bid to make it 2-2 at the course. Dream Of Dream's stablemate Elector makes a quick return to action after his trip to Royal Ascot and he can reward the move with victory in the sunbets.co.uk Handicap at York. A winner at the Berkshire course on his only outing as a two-year-old, he earned his chance to represent The Queen at the big meeting with a good second to Raa Atoll over 10 furlongs at Nottingham last month. However, the extra quarter of a mile of the Group Two King Edward VII Stakes proved beyond him and, after holding every chance turning for home, he faded to finish seventh of the nine runners. The fact that Raa Atoll (who was receiving 7lb at Nottingham) finished a very creditable fourth suggests Elector is well weighted for this return to both handicap company and the shorter trip. Archie Watson has come a long way in a very short time as a trainer and he should continue his upwardly direction of travel with So Brave in the Listed Betway Empress Fillies Stakes at Newmarket. The Saxon Gate trainer has wasted no time in tackling this level of company with the daughter of Kyllachy, who carried a ton of stable confidence on her debut at Lingfield 18 days ago, and never looked likely to disappoint. She knew her job really well and showed a smart turn of foot to bring her home a comfortable winner. Although the runner-up has been well beaten since, the third - Be Like Me - finished second at Newbury on Tuesday evening, and So Brave looks sure to improve plenty for the run. Catching Pigeons: Strongest fancies 1.30 Newcastle 17 16 Cool Skyp43 98-12OR: 85D 10/1 T: Ian WilliamsJ: Ben Curtis Form: 023/661-Last Run Live betting powered by 4.25 Newcastle 1 12 Garrick19 49-9OR: 87C 2/1 T: J H M GosdenJ: N Mackay Form: 172-32Last Run Live betting powered by 4.45 Windsor 1 4 Plutonian33 410-0OR: 97CD 9/4 T: C HillsJ: Jason Watson (5) Form: 1361-01Last Run Live betting powered by Crossing The Line can make it two wins from four starts this season in the Matthew Clark Handicap at Chester. Her form has a very solid look to it and she only just missed out on following up her win at Lingfield when beaten a neck by Clubbable at Chelmsford last time. The winner has boosted the form with a second in a Listed event at Carlisle’s big meeting on Wednesday and Crossing The Line has pleased since. Balding has a great record around the twists and turns of the Roodee and Urban Aspect should step up on his debut effort behind Flying Sparkle in the Beefeater Pink Confined Novice Stakes. He gave the impression there was plenty more to come at the Welsh course and he should handle the course okay. Verne Castle is another to note at Chester in the Jim Beam Handicap. Michael Wigham's charge - formerly with Balding - hasn't won on turf yet but his all-weather form suggests he's well handicapped in this sphere when things finally click and the low draw should help David Probert gain a good position early on. Firelight ran a good race after losing ground at the start on her debut at Sandown and she should kick the afternoon off on the right note for Balding in the Sun Bets Follow Us On Twitter Novice Stakes at Windsor. The winner of that race, Oberyn Martell and won again at Salisbury since, and Firelight should appreciate this extra furlong. Plutonian is turning into something of a Windsor specialist and he should make it three from three on the course in the New Heidsieck And Co Enclosure Handicap. Charlie Hills has opted for the easier option for this progressive four-year-old, who was also entered in the listed race earlier in the card. He ran on strongly after making most of the running to beat Mordin with a bit in hand and the form looks solid enough. Sir Mark Prescott's horses have stood out looking particularly well in headquarters over the past month and his Praeceps wants monitoring in the market at the very least in the concluding MPM Flooring Apprentice Handicap. Campaigned solely over a mile at two, mainly when 100/1, the stamina on the dam's side of his pedigree suggests longer trips will definitely suit this season and an initial mark of 63 could prove manageable while not patently lenient at first sight. His jockey Gavin Ashton is going places and may start making a name for himself before long. Hilight should go well for Hughie Morrison in the Racing Welfare Racing Staff Week Handicap at Lingfield. She produced a solid debut effort behind the smart Whitefountainfairy on her debut at Kempton, but did not move forward from that performance on his last two starts. However, she was continually tightened up in mid-division on her latest start at Wolverhampton and was not given a tough time by her Charlie Bennett in the closing stages after encountering such a poor experience. She looks nicely weighted off 62 for his debut effort in a handicap and she should be able to see off Clive Cox’s Fashion Sense.

EACH-WAY PLAY
Higher Power (2.05 Newcastle)
Market leader Withhold is far too short now for such a competitive race given he's 12lb higher than for his Cesarewitch win and I've been keen on James Fanshawe's topweight for a while now. I think he's an each-way bet to nothing at around the 8 or 10-1 mark. He's just 1lb higher than when winning this race last year, Fanshawe has laid him out for the contest, his draw is fine and both of his prep runs provided plenty of hope that he can follow up this year.
Higher Power 2:05 Newcastle (AW) BANKER
Starlight Romance (2.10 York)
Richard Fahey's filly absolutely stuffed me last time when I went 'all in' on The Great Wall in a competitive course and distance handicap two weeks ago. However, credit where credit is due, she deserves to be followed for that impressive display to deny a well-handicapped horse and she can follow up. Conditions should be fine and Fahey has booked 5lb claimer Connor Murtagh, who negates her penalty.
Starlight Romance 2:10 York GOOD THING
Master Brewer (2.20 Newmarket)
Michael Bell's two-year-old colt is the horse I'm most looking forward to watching on Saturday. He immediately went into my tracker after a really encouraging debut at Newbury in what was a good race – fourth, fifth and seventh have won since – as he barely had a yard to move inside the final two furlongs. Rider Jamie Spencer took it easy on him when room was at a premium late on and he's worth much more than his position suggested. When slightly niggled with 100 yards left, he absolutely flew home and I'd be shocked if he didn't land this prize. The fact he hasn't opened up favourite is insane.
Master Brewer 2:20 Newmarket (July) EYECATCHER
Bashiba (4.30 York)
A nine-time winner from 49 starts, Bashiba, who finished third in this race last year off 6lb higher, can follow up his recent win for trainer Nigel Tinkler. The well-treated sprinter is a straightforward ride and should get the race run to suit. Tom Scudamore is back aboard Tylery Wonder, last year's winner, and represents the main danger to Bashiba, but I'll be definitely getting involved at around the 5-1 mark.
Bashiba

Acclaim The Nation (4.50 Chester, nap)
Speedy sort who has done well this season since cheekpieces were added. Still feasibly treated and with the plum draw is fancied to get back to winning ways.

Tashaaboh (7.00 Doncaster, nap)
First run of the year was a solid one at Lingfield earlier this month. He's entitled to come on for that and a repeat performance puts this grey right in the mix.

Cool Macavity (6.15 Lingfield, nap)
Up against it last time out but fancied to make his presence tell back in selling company with conditions in his favour.
Cool Macavity 6:15 Lingfield Racing Post Ratings: Simon Turner
Hyperfocus (12.20 Newcastle)
Yet to fire in three starts this year but appears well treated on last year's soft-ground form. He was successful on his only previous start at Newcastle and is worth chancing to bounce back.
Hyperfocus 12:20 Newcastle (AW) Topspeed: Dave Edwards
Dee Ex Bee (5.15 Curragh)
Finished a fine second in the Epsom Derby, has nothing to fear from those who finished behind and richly deserved compensation looks in the offing.
Dee Ex Bee 5:15 Curragh Longshot: Dave Revers
Aeolus (12.55 Newcastle)
Ran better than his finishing position suggested in a good handicap at Newmarket when last seen and was a touch unlucky in this race last season. Fran Berry is an eye-catching jockey booking.
Aeolus 12:55 Newcastle (AW) Ireland: Tony O'Hehir
Alfredo Arcano (2.15 Curragh)
A four-time winner, most recently over today's course and 5f trip three weeks ago, the David Marnane-trained four-year-old is up only 3lb for that win and can make a bold bid to land Ireland's most valuable minimum trip handicap with Chris Hayes on board.
Alfredo Arcano 2:15 Curragh The Raceform Interactive nugget
Airmax (4.15 Chester)
Ralph Beckett's last ten runners in first-time blinkers have finished 1551211021, and a £1 stake on all of them would have yielded a profit of £34. Airmax looks a strong contender to enhance that statistic in the 4.15 at Chester.
Airmax 4:15 Chester

Apprentice Harry Burns is riding very well at present and he has a 60 per cent strike-rate from his rides in the last two weeks. He travels to Windsor for just one ride, Good Impression, in the 5.20 and Ali Stronge’s gelding will enjoy the drop back in trip.
When Daniel Tudhope rides for Jim Goldie at Newcastle it’s worth taking note as the pair have a 33 per cent strike-rate at the track. They team up with Sir Chauvelin (2.05) in the Northumberland Plate. He did extremely well to finish second at Royal Ascot last time.
Kevin Stott has an impressive 27 per cent strike-rate at Chester and goes there for four rides. The pick of those is Tanasoq in the 2.30 – Paul Midgley’s in-form gelding can make the most of a nice draw.

Kaeso 2:45 York Ran well from a diabolical draw over seven furlongs of the course last time out and is much more favourably berthed this time.
The step up to a mile should suit Kaeso and this prolific scorer leaves the impression there could be even better to come for his in-form stable.

Two evening Flat fixtures on the turf follow on from the afternoon action with Lingfield and Doncaster staging meetings. Here are three horses to keep an eye on.
Consequences 7.30 Doncaster
David O'Meara had high hopes for this three-year-old at the start of the season but thing haven't gone to plan.
However, the colt takes a drop in grade and equipped with a first-time tongue-tie, he looks capable of bouncing back to form.
Winner of a conditions event at Newmarket last season, he has to be a contender in an open race if anywhere near his best.
Consequences 7:30 Doncaster Three Gracez 8.45 Lingfield
This six-year-old mare is back in Britain following a spell in the French provinces after being trained by George Scott and Philip McBride in her younger days.
She is dangerously well-handicapped off 65 having been 20lb higher at her peak – Rhiaian Ingram takes another 5lb off – and trainer Amy Murphy has made an impressive start to her training career.
She could be better drawn than in four but earlier races will tell if the golden highway up the stands' rail is still in evidence.
Three Gracez 8:45 Lingfield Sellingallthetime 9.00 Doncaster
The Mick Appleby-trained seven-year-old has been knocking on the door of late and might be able to find the key in the last race of the day.
Although without a win since 2015, he returned to form with two decent runner-up efforts at Wolverhampton and Catterick recently.
He is a course-and-distance winner and the booking of PJ McDonald is another positive.

Newmarket: David Milnes
Argentello (3.35 Windsor, nap)
Appreciated the drop in trip when getting off the mark at Yarmouth last time. John Gosden's colt has since worked well on the Al Bahathri and can give 6lb away.
Argentello 3:35 Windsor Others to follow Windsor 1.50 Tivoli, 3.00 Grandfather Tom, 4.10 Effervescence, 4.40 Oh It's Saucepot, 5.20 Maori Bob.
North: Colin Russell
Camillas Wish (3.20 Cartmel, nap)
Two course wins last summer when with Richard Ford. Creditable effort over hurdles after a break here last time, and as she has dropped to a good mark is fancied to get off the mark for the season.
Camillas Wish 3:20 Cartmel Others to follow Cartmel 2.10 Secret Escape, 2.45 Martila, 3.55 My Renaissance, 4.30 Morning Royalty, 5.05 Court Baloo, 5.40 Boruma. Uttoxeter 2.00 Teescomponents Max, 2.35 Ofcourseiwill, 3.10 William Of Orange, 3.45 Oliver's Gold, 4.55 Swashbuckle, 5.30 Mr Snoozy.
Lambourn: James Burn
Toviere (4.20 Uttoxeter, nap)
There is every chance we've not seen the best of this seven-year-old over fences, so there could be more to come from a mark of 128. Ground and trip are in his favour.
Toviere 4:20 Uttoxeter Others to follow Cartmel 3.20 Our Reward, 4.30 Princeton Royale. Uttoxeter 3.10 Ocean Jive, 4.55 Royal Ruby. Windsor 1.50 Kimifive, 3.00 Puds, 3.35 Ajddarr, 4.10 Finale, 5.20 Orin Swift.
West Country: Andrew King
Celestial Path (1.30 Uttoxeter, nap)
Former decent Flat performer finally got his act together last weekend and can make a quick winning reappearance under a penalty.
Celestial Path 1:30 Uttoxeter Others to follow Cartmel 2.45 Leapaway, 3.55 Code Of Love, 4.30 Shantou Village. Uttoxeter 3.10 Mick Thonic, 4.55 Black Prince.
Racing Post Ratings: Sam Walker
Finale (4.10 Windsor)
Not beaten far on seasonal bow at Kempton last time. Entitled to come on for that and looks nicely weighted for her return to turf judged on the pick of last year's form.
Finale 4:10 Windsor Topspeed: Dave Edwards
Royal Ruby (4.55 Uttoxeter)
Has had plenty of chances but earned a personal best on the clock at Worcester three weeks ago, a positive sign that he could soon break his duck over hurdles.
Royal Ruby 4:55 Uttoxeter Longshot: Josh Down
Drumlee Sunset (4.20 Uttoxeter)
Improved since joining Tom George, registering his first success for his new trainer last time out. Unexposed at this trip and can defy a 5lb rise.
Drumlee Sunset 4:20 Uttoxeter Ireland: Tony O'Hehir
Silverkode (4.05 Curragh)
The Joe Murphy-trained four-year-old has done all his winning at this track where he scored three times last season. He steps up to one mile for the first time and gets the vote to continue his good record at the course following a good effort when third over seven furlongs at Gowran Park a week ago.
Silverkode 4:05 Curragh The Raceform Interactive nugget
The Joseph Murphy-trained Silverkode is a perfect 3/3 when running at the Curragh (+£14.50 to £1 stakes); away from that track his figures are 62993. The four-year-old runs in the mile handicap at 4.05.

Jennie Candlish has an overall strike-rate of 13 per cent. When applying a first-time visor that record improves to 40 per cent (2-5). Red Tortue sports the aid in the 3.55 at Cartmel.
Mark Walford and Emma Todd have individual strike-rates of 25 and 27 per cent at Uttoxeter. When they combine that improves to 50 per cent and they do so with Oliver’s Gold in the 3.45 and Mr Snoozy in the 5.30.
Olly Murphy has an excellent record with horses making their first start for his yard having switched from another stable. The trainer is 13-50 with such runners, a 26 per cent strike-rate, and Candy Burg fits the bill in the 3.10 at Uttoxeter.

Cartmel, 01 Jul 18 Fixture Note The Woodside hurdle for races 6 and 7 will be omitted due to the amount of water used for cooling a fallen horse, creating false ground. Race 1 - 2:10pm THE HADWINS MOTOR GROUP MARES' NOVICES' HURDLE RACE (CLASS 4) (NHMOPS Bonus Race) Prior to this race, the Stewards raised a query with James Moffatt, the trainer of LAPALALA (IRE), into the reasons why he was running the mare here at Cartmel on going officially described as Good to Firm, Good in Places, having been declared a non-runner at Cartmel on 29 June 2018 on going also officially described as Good to Firm, Good in Places. The trainer stated that having walked the course on Friday, he decided that the churned up ground for race 6 was unsuitable, but with the realigned rails to provide fresh ground for race 1 today, he’s happy for the mare to take her chance.
Race 2 - 2:45pm THE CHAMPAGNE LOUIS ROEDERER HANDICAP HURDLE RACE (CLASS 2) ONE FOR THE GUV’NR (IRE) wore earplugs throughout the race.

The rider and the trainer were interviewed and shown recordings of the race; the Veterinary Officer reported that on initial post-race examination, during routine testing, the mare had finished distressed and on second examination, reported that he found no abnormalities, other than CAMILLAS WISH (IRE) was still very tired. Miss Smith stated her instructions were to jump off handy and let the mare sit where she was comfortable, however felt that she was never travelling, a fact which she had reported at Scales. She added that she had been niggling the mare along from a very early stage, and wasn’t jumping as fluently as she would normally and that she tried to keep the mare balanced around the tight bends. She continued that having ridden the mare several times before, didn’t feel she would make up any ground from riding more vigorously and had achieved the best possible placing. The trainer agreed that the ride accorded with instructions. Their explanations were noted.
Following the race, the Veterinary Officer reported that OUR REWARD (IRE), placed second, lost its left hind shoe.
Race 4 - 3:55pm THE PSR MARQUEES HANDICAP STEEPLE CHASE (CLASS 4) Following the race, Richard Johnson reported that CODE OF LAW, which was pulled up, was never travelling. The Veterinary Officer reported that a post-race examination of the gelding failed to reveal any abnormalities.

Saeed Bin Suroor is the top trainer at Windsor with 14 winners from 38 runners, a 37 per cent strike-rate. He sends last-time-out winner Team Decision to contest the 1m2f handicap (8.00).
Over the past five seasons, Ralph Beckett is the leading trainer at Pontefract with eight winners from 17 runners, a 47 per cent strike-rate. The Kimpton handler sends Construct to the course for the 3.30.
Hughie Morrison and Oisin Murphy have individual strike-rates of 16 and 17 per cent at Wolverhampton. That improves to 75 per cent when they join forces. It’s also worth noting that Morrison is 19 from 115 with his handicap debutants (+£21.50 level stake profit to a £1 stake). Nikita, who goes in the 3.45, ticks both boxes.

Newmarket: David Milnes
Pegasus Kid (4.15 Wolverhampton, nap)
Ran a promising debut when third to Pirate King at Doncaster last month. James Fanshawe's gelding has since moved well on the Al Bahathri.

North: Colin Russell
Maldonado (5.15 Wolverhampton, nap)
Unlucky on reappearance at Lingfield, but that was his best run for a while and, as he is really well handicapped at present, he is fancied to gain compensation.

Tai Sing Yeh (9.00 Windsor, nap)
A mark of 64 would have looked a gift at the start of four-year-old's career, but he has it for a reason and has undoubtedly lost his way. That said, he will like the ground and perhaps a pair of hands like Jamie Spencer's can spark a revival.

Gift Of Hera (4.45 Wolverhampton)
Powered home over course and distance two starts ago but not quite at that level since on turf. Looks well handicapped on the recent win and can regain winning ways if repeating.
Gift Of Hera 4:45 Wolverhampton (AW) Topspeed: Dave Edwards
Construct (3.30 Pontefract)
Stepped up on earlier efforts when runner-up at Newbury last month and he can shed his maiden tag.
Construct 3:30 Pontefract Longshot: Simon Giles
Celtic Artisan (5.15 Wolverhampton)
On a lengthy losing run but hinted at a revival on last couple of turf runs and this return to his favourite surface (all five Flat wins have come on the all-weather, including two over course and distance) means he could cash in on mark 14lb below his last win.

In the last five seasons, Ralph Beckett has figures of 1313101112131 (62 per cent strike-rate) with runners sent off at 6-1 or shorter in handicaps at Pontefract (+£21.33 to £1 level stake.) Construct runs in the 1m4f event at 3.30.

Bbob Alula 3:15 Wolverhampton (AW) Got off the mark in impressive fashion at Chepstow last Monday, and likely to take all the beating if returning in similar form.
Bill Turner’s three-year-old looks the sort to record multiple victories this summer, and is well drawn in stall one.
