Newmarket: David Milnes
Global Warning (6.15 Lingfield, nap)
Ran a debut brimful of promise when third at Doncaster 16 days ago when just in need of the run. Ed Dunlop's youngster has since moved well on Warren Hill and won't mind any ease in the ground.

North: Colin Russell
Lake Volta (4.20 Newmakret, nap)
Shot up the ratings for winning a Listed race at Epsom in June, but back down to a much better mark now. Put up a sound effort when third in a strong race at Newbury last time and, with conditions ideal, the three-year-old is fancied to return to winning ways.

Lambourn: James Burn
Shanghai Glory (4.20 Newmarket, nap)
Went close in the Stewards' Cup off 6lb higher a year ago. Might want seven furlongs now, while the easy ground is another plus. He was not right after his last run but is in good form now.

West Country: Tim Mitchell
Birds Of Prey (1.55 Haydock, nap)
Dual winner for John Oxx who has shaped with encouragement on both starts on Polytrack since joining Paul Nicholls. A bold bid is expected now back on turf at a track that should play to his strengths.
9/4 Birds Of Prey 1:55 Haydock Others to follow Ascot 1.40 Jukebox Jive. Lingfield 6.45 Mostly Green.
Racing Post Ratings: Sam Walker
Fire Brigade (2.50 Ascot, nap)
Posted a career-best RPR of 104 two starts back and returned from a wind operation with an encouraging, staying-on effort at Newcastle last time. Chance of more to come.
6/1 Fire Brigade 2:50 Ascot Topspeed: Dave Edwards
Cleonte (1.40 Ascot, nap)
Hasn't won for a couple of years but his recent Newbury effort suggests he could end the lengthy barren spell.
4/1 Cleonte 1:40 Ascot Longshot: David Revers
Shady McCoy (2.50 Ascot, nap)
Desperately unlucky in the Golden Mile handicap at Goodwood last week when constantly denied a clear run. He is a course winner who will be more at home at the Berkshire venue and Adam Kirby is an excellent boost to his chances.
15/2 Shady McCoy 2:50 Ascot Ireland: Tony O'Hehir
Kailee (3.35 Cork, nap)
A maiden winner at the Curragh last season, the daughter of Bated Breath has lost out narrowly over today's seven furlong trip on her two starts this year, both at the Curragh. She is well drawn and gets the vote.
4/1 Kailee 3:35 Cork The Raceform Interactive nugget
Hajjam is a perfect 3-3 when running at Redcar and jockey David Nolan is 2-3 on the David O'Meara-trained gelding. Nolan rides the four-year-old in the 1m handicap at 4.05.

Mark Johnston and Dane O’Neill have an outstanding 80 per cent strike-rate when they team up at Redcar. Tight Lines (2.20) represents the pair and is a previous course winner.
Owen Burrows has just one runner today – Elwazir in the 3.05 at Haydock. The trainer has an eyecatching 33 per cent record at the track and will be hoping the Frankel colt can complete a hat-trick in this Group 3.
William Haggas has a 30 per cent strike-rate with first-time geldings. Three Weeks fits the bill in the 4.55 at Newmarket and although he’s been off the track since March, he should be able to fulfil some of his earlier promise.

in today's sporting life........................ Richard Mann previews the weekend action with the Shergar Cup taking place at Ascot along with two cracking cards at Haydock and Newmarket. Recommended Bets: Ascot, Haydock, Newmarket For details of advised bookmakers and each-way terms, visit our transparent tipping record The Shergar Cup meeting at Ascot is the headline act for racing fans on Saturday but there are also TV races at Haydock and Newmarket with plenty of quality on show. The Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup Mile (2.50) is a terrific race full of smart handicappers and Medahim heading the weights following his Glorious Goodwood victory last week. He beat Vale Of Kent on that occasion and given that one went on to gain compensation a few days later, the strength of that piece form, along with Medahim’s progressive profile, is enough to suggest he can go very close under Yutaka Take. He should be well positioned from stall number two if the pace isn’t overly strong and with Richard Hannon’s string in rude health at present, there are certainly plenty of positives about his chance. This has plenty of depth to it, though, with Golden Mile runner-up Poet’s Society respected turning out quickly following that career-best performance while Mythical Madness - fifth in the same race at Goodwood - is capable of going well again were he to get a strong pace to aim at. Shady McCoy is another useful operator whose Bunbury Cup second brings him right into the equation. He looks better suited to 7f and a straight track, however, while the last comment is also applicable to Fire Brigade who, for all he is hugely talented, is another who needs to come late off a good gallop and preferably when there is plenty of cut in the ground. With nagging doubts about many of his rivals, Medahim looks overpriced at 13/2 and this improving four-year-old has to head the weekend portfolio. 1 2 Medahim10 410-0OR: 100D 11/2 T: R HannonJ: Y Take Form: 4-54041Last Run Live betting powered by Another who is worth backing is Roundhay Park who should have a race run to suit in the Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup Sprint at 4.00. Nigel Tinkler is another trainer who is enjoying a good time of it at present and his charge comes here on the back of a fine third in the bet365 Handicap at Newmarket’s July meeting. Historically, that race is one that usually throws up plenty of winners and though the early signs aren’t as encouraging this year, Roundhay Park is able to compete from an unchanged handicap mark here. A strong-traveller whose career has continued on a steady upward curve since he broke his duck at Beverley last year, he still looks to have more to offer and the stiff Ascot finish should suit him well. Drawn next door to the pacey Bungee Jump – the only confirmed front-runner in the field – he should get a lovely tow into the race under Hayler Turner who has enjoyed plenty of success at this meeting over the years. He ticks plenty of boxes and the 6/1 about his chance is very fair. 4 9 Roundhay Park30 39-6OR: 92 11/2 T: N TinklerJ: Hayley Turner Form: 0-14413Last Run Live betting powered by Over at Haydock, Elwazir boats particularly strong claims in the Group Three Smarkets Betting Exchange Rose Of Lancaster Stakes (3.05). Even looking as far back to his fourth-placed finish at Newmarket last October, this son of Frankel can boast rock-solid form and his defeats of the classy Cross Counter and Extra Elusive this year suggest he will be able to take this step up in class in his stride. That said, quotes of 7/4 or shorter look about right and I’m happy to leave him on this occasion. 35 minutes earlier, Haydock stages a competitive renewal of the Listed Smarkets/British EBF Dick Hern Stakes (2.30) and I want to be with La Figlia at 10/1 for Peter Chapple-Hyam. The four-year-old is a recent addition to the Chapple-Hyam stable having already shown up well twice in Listed company for Jeremy Noseda and she made her first start for her new yard a winning one when scoring in impressive fashion at Chelmsford. A beautifully-bred daughter of Frankel, she is out of brilliant racemare Finsceal Beo so is certainly bred to be winning at this level and like so many from her sire, she promises to stay well and should be able to use her beautiful stride to good effect up the long Haydock straight. Chapple-Hyam is a master trainer whose record needs no introduction and it appears significant that he has this filly Group-One entered later in the season, a move he wouldn’t make without good reason. All eyes will be on the three-year-old and warm-favourite Agrotera following her taking success in the Sandringham Handicap at Royal Ascot but she was thrown in off a mark of 88 that day and will find this much tougher while both Dynamic and Narella have to atone for disappointing efforts last time. The latter is particularly interesting – a German import who scored at Group Three level for Markus Klug last year – but she drifted alarmingly on her return and stable debut at Sandown and having offered very little, has plenty of questions to answer now. 3 6 La Figlia36 49-2OR: 99D 8/1 T: P W Chapple-HyamJ: Jim Crowley Form: 24-471Last Run Live betting powered by Newmarket stages the Group Three german-thoroughbred.com Sweet Solera Stakes but only seven runners have been declared this year. Albany Stakes one-two Main Edition and Le Pelosa take up a big chunk of the market but neither have done much for that Royal Ascot form since and I’m keen to look elsewhere. Pennywhistle has reportedly worked well since opening her account over this course and distance last month having finished third to the classy Look Around on her Kempton debut previously. That form puts her bang in the mix here but at a much bigger price, I can’t ignore the claims of California Love. Power is stallion whom I still have high hopes for and California Love might be the one to put him on the map. Richard Spencer’s filly was far too green to do herself justice on debut at Chelmsford but left that running a long way behind when producing a taking display over this course and distance two weeks later. The second from that race, Rosamour, has already franked the form and it seems significant that Spencer has nominated California Love for this race given the strength of juveniles he has at his disposal. That point was illustrated by Rumble Inthejungle’s victory in the Group Three Molecomb Stakes at Glorious Goodwood last week and I have the strong suspicion that Spencer might have unearthed another star in California Love. Take the 12/1, or for extra insurance, Sky Bet are offering three places on the race despite only seven going to post. 3 6 California Love21 29-0OR: -CD 12/1 T: Richard SpencerJ: T P Queally Form: 41Last Run Live betting powered by Posted at 1530 BST on 10/08/18

Runners at five meetings for our star columnist on Saturday - check out his unmissable guide to them all. Best chances 1530 Redcar 10 8 Knowing Glance63 39-2OR: 74BFD 4/1 T: R A FaheyJ: T Hamilton Form: 5433-17Last Run Live betting powered by 1805 Ayr 2 7 Absolute Dream15 29-2OR: 81 2/1 T: R A FaheyJ: J Garritty Form: 6223Last Run Live betting powered by Pair of Savannas has been a very slow learner and showed nothing early on. She’s been improving a bit – which she needed to – and the Racing UK HD On Sky 426 Selling Stakes a Redcar is low grade stuff so I hope she might go ok. I Was Only Joking had a few minor problems but we’ve got her back moving right now and are happy with her at home. Any rain before the Celebrate The Life Of Ann Allport Median Auction Maiden Stakes would help. Showers would be a boost for International Man too in the DFDS World's Best Ferry Operator Handicap. The step up in trip helped him open his account at York last time even though we weren’t convinced he’d stay but he got it well in the end. He’ll be competitive again. Knowing Glance is a horse I like an awful lot. He completely boiled over at Haydock last time and we don’t know why. He’s a grand horse and working very well ahead of the Market Cross Jewellers Handicap. Maggies Angel is a twilight horse and finding it difficult to win. We’re stepping her up to a mile for the Smarkets/British EBF Dick Hern Stakes at Haydock. We’re not sure it’s what she wants but there are very few races for her and it’s worth a try. Gabrial doesn’t win many races but always runs well. He’s an absolute star of a horse. He goes in the Smarkets Betting Exchange Rose Of Lancaster Stakes and is another who would appreciate any rain. It would be wonderful to see him get his head in front again. Inviolable Spirit steps up in class Bet toteswinger At totesport.com Handicap at Chelmsford. He’s been running well in defeat but creeping up the handicap as a result. I’d settle for a place in this though as it looks warm enough. I thought Gallipoli ran well in the International at Ascot last time. The blinkers helped him there and it was good, solid performance. If he brought that form to the table in the BBAG Germany's Yearling Sales Handicap at Newmarket he’d have a chance. Absolute Dream runs in the QTS In The Community EBF Novice Stakes at Ayr. He didn’t stay seven furlongs at York last time and the switch back to six here will suit him. Khelman is completely out of form but is very well handicapped as a result. If back anywhere near his best he’d go close in the QTS Investors In Sport Handicap but rain would help. I thought the handicapper was very tough on Royal Connoisseur when putting him up eight pounds for winning at Wolverhampton. He struggled from his new mark back there last time but we’ll try again in the Gas Sure & James Frew Handicap.

Our gossip column is back and Ed Walker is taken to enjoy a super Saturday while there are interesting two-year-old newcomers to note this weekend. Agrotera can continue her climb through the ratings with a first Listed success in the Smarkets/British EBF Dick Hern Stakes at Haydock on Saturday. Ed Walker had high hopes for this three-year-old at the start of the season and she has already more than justified his confidence. A good second on her return to action at Ascot in May, she duly went one better in a good class race at Windsor before justifying a big move in the market with a comfortable success in the Sandringham Handicap at Royal Ascot. After such an emphatic win, this looks the logical next step for the daughter of Mastercraftsman and she should be able to see off local rival Queen Of Time, who showed she was on the way back after a quiet spell at Goodwood last week. She is just preferred to La Figlia, who stretched out well on the Al Bahatri this week and continues to please new trainer Peter Chapple-Hyam, and William Haggas' Dynamic. 7 4 Agrotera50 38-9OR: 99D 13/8 T: Ed WalkerJ: J P Spencer Form: 6-211Last Run Live betting powered by Fille de Reve can complete a double for Walker in the Smarkets Duke Of Lancaster's Own Yeomanry Handicap. The race represents a return to this company and a step back to six furlongs for this highly-rated filly, who ran her best race of the campaign here in the early summer. She looked a shade unlucky not to beat the smart Lethal Lunch that day and was consequently quietly fancied to run a big race in a Listed event at Carlisle. She disappointed there but has been given a nice break and may also appreciate the return to a less undulating course. Fille de Reve has always shown plenty of ability at home and the likely fast pace in this competitive looking event should play to her strengths. Equitation is fancied to chase her home. Eyelool can see off old rival Pogo and win in the Poppy Nursery at Newmarket. Both well regarded juveniles made their debuts in a hot maiden won by subsequent Group Two winner Advertise at the Newbury May meeting and it was Pogo who came out on top by more than four lengths. However, the selection lost ground at the start that day and seems to have made the most progress since, which may be down to the fact that the William Haggas team have been in pretty good form. In contrast, Charlie Hills, the trainer of Pogo, has been a bit up and down. It may be close between the pair but Eyelool will have gained confidence from his win at Epsom last time and is now in receipt of six pounds from his Lambourn rival. 3 4 Eyelool23 29-0OR: 79D 11/4 T: W J HaggasJ: Andrea Atzeni Form: 521Last Run Live betting powered by California Love should go well at a decent price in the Group Three german-thoroughbred.com Sweet Solera Stakes. Richard Spencer has enjoyed a lucrative summer so far and this daughter of Power did her bit to add to the coffers with an emphatic win over course and distance three weeks ago. This represents a much stiffer test but California Love quickened up very well that day, and may handle the likely easy ground a bit better than some of her rivals. Pennywhistle won well at Kempton last time and is feared for the John Gosden team. 3 6 California Love21 29-0OR: -CD 12/1 T: Richard SpencerJ: T P Queally Form: 41Last Run Live betting powered by Apprentice of the moment Jason Watson takes over at the helm of Ripp Orf and this ultra-consistent performer can make full use of his three pounds allowance allowance in the BBAG Germany's Yearling Sales Handicap. The winner of the Victoria Cup at Ascot back in May, he showed his liking for this track by landing a handicap here last month and was having his third race on consecutive Saturdays when only a length third to Burnt Sugar two weeks ago. He has taken those races well and still looks on a winnable mark. 2 3 Ripp Orf14 49-7OR: 94CD 11/4 T: D R C ElsworthJ: Jason Watson (3) Form: 129123Last Run Live betting powered by Bella Ragazza can double her career win tally in the Royal British Legion Handicap. She has been handled in typically patient style by Hughie Morrison and looked a useful filly when landing her second start, a novice at Goodwood in May. She failed to reproduce that form on a faster surface at Carlisle on her latest start but that was in Listed company and the easier ground here should be more to her liking. She does not look harshly treated on the strength of her Goodwood form and should handle the step up from seven furlongs to a mile. 7 3 Bella Ragazza45 38-6OR: 83 9/2 T: H MorrisonJ: George Wood Form: 517Last Run Live betting powered by Wiretap shaped with some promise on his first start behind the useful Legends Of War at Yarmouth back in the spring and can show plenty of improvement for a subsequent gelding operation in the Lexus Gatwick EBF Novice Stakes at Lingfield. 9 7 Wiretap80 29-2OR: - 4/1 T: D M SimcockJ: Oisin Murphy Form: 5Last Run Live betting powered by Clive Cox has some promising juveniles entered up over the next few days and one of the more interesting is Red Armada, who is due to make his debut in the opening novice stakes at Leicester on Sunday. The Beechdown trainer has not introduced too many youngsters during the very hot summer and it will be interesting to see how this half-brother to the much travelled and talented Dux Scholar fares both here, and in the future. However, it could be a warm heat with Noble Ancestry giving the Simon Crisford team all the right signs ahead of his debut in the same race. The Al Bahatri has again been busy in Newmarket as trainers looked to the skies to bring the Limekilns back into play. Enable was among those to stretch out - she went ok under Frankie Dettori but no buttons have been pushed yet. The John Gosden team have a number of lovely two-year-olds to unleash in the coming weeks, Albert Finney (Newmarket Friday) amongst them. Sir Micahel Stoute is another trainer close to revealing the strength of his juvenile hand and Sangarius and Accommodate are two names to note while the Freemason Lodge team worked Convey and Adamant on the Al Bahatri this week and both pleased connections.

Get the view from connections and Man On The Spot verdicts for Saturday's feature televised action. 1305 Ascot Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup Dash John Quinn - El Astronaute: "He ran well at Goodwood last week. The winner won nicely, but the rain they had suited the winner." Man On The Spot verdict: 10 3 Evergatev15 49-8OR: 95D 11/2 T: R M H CowellJ: A Kirby Form: 203202Last Run Live betting powered by El Astronaute is a real speed merchant and he continues to run well. John Quinn’s sprinter will have the rails to help and would have finished a lot closer at Goodwood 11 days ago had he not wandered under pressure. Gracious John is also likely to be prominent but EVERGATE has been unlucky not to win this year and is still on a fair mark. He has gone close over track and trip on a couple of occasions and deserves a change of luck. Stablemate Encore d'Or also goes well here and both Tommy G and The Daley Express would be interesting if getting a run from the reserve spots. El Astronaute wins at Chester El Astronaute wins at Chester 1340 Ascot Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup Stayers Anthony Honeyball Jukebox Jive : We're very happy with the horse. He's in good nick. He ran well in the Chester Cup and he ran well in the Listed race at Sandown. He's high enough (in the weights). I suppose it's a stiff task to win any handicap off 100, but he's in good order and I'm happy with the jockey booking. Obviously Adam knows Ascot well. "I think he's got a good chance. We were keen to go to Ascot because it's a much more compressed handicap than the one he was in at Goodwood. Because only 10 can run in this we knew he would not be giving away masses of weight. This is a better fit for him and he stays two miles really well. He's a straightforward horse for a race like this for a jockey who doesn't know him. We're very hopeful and it's a nice pot as well." Man On the Spot verdict: 1 6 Jukebox Jivet35 410-0OR: 100 4/1 T: A J HoneyballJ: A Kirby Form: 14-4483Last Run Live betting powered by Not many of these arrive in the peak of form but Hassle’s only recent run on the level saw him finish just ahead of last month’s Newbury second Cleonte over 2m4f here. Saunter tackles 2m for the first time but won a conditions race over 1m6f in France last month and ran a nice race in the Duke Of Edinburgh Stakes here in June. JUKEBOX JIVE has been raised a further 4lb since his third in a Listed race at Sandown. That looks harsh but he’s a thorough stayer who will be keeping on when others have cried enough and he should go close if in touch turning for home. Byron Flyer and Soldier In Action could also figure. 1415 Ascot Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup Challenge Joe Tuite - Machine Learner: "The horse is in good form and we go there very hopeful. He won very well there last time. I wanted to take him to Goodwood, but he didn't get in, and this was the next opportunity. It's great prize-money, he loves fast ground and is in superb form. Fran Berry has ridden him before. Funnily enough, Fran also rode him before he'd ever run for me and liked him.” Jim Goldie - Nicholas T: “He ran well in the Zetland Gold Cup over a mile and two, so it will be interesting to see how he copes with a mile and a half at Ascot. He's in good form and fast ground will suit him. He should run well." Man On The Spot verdict: 4 9 Machine Learner29 59-10OR: 92CD 5/1 T: J TuiteJ: Fran Berry Form: 4270-01Last Run Live betting powered by This looks wide-open but Majeed was a surprise winner at Windsor and is possibly better over slightly shorter distances. Koeman went up 4lb after winning over course and distance two weeks ago and is now on a career-high mark as is MACHINE LEARNER, successful over 1m6f here earlier. But the latter will handle any give in the ground so is taken to land this under Fran Berry. Humble Hero is slightly better off than when third to Majeed at Windsor and may not have stayed 2m at York subsequently. Both of his wins have come over this trip and he could find a little improvement in first-time blinkers. West Coast Flyer is an all-weather specialist but Maori Bob won at Windsor and Doncaster last month and Twin Star is another with a chance on the pick of his form. 1430 Haydock Smarkets/British EBF Dick Hern Stakes Ed Walker - Agrotera: "She is in good form. We had her in the Valiant at Ascot, but she just wasn't ready for that. She is a big girl and I backed off her after Royal Ascot and gave her time to get over that. I probably just left her alone too much, but I think she is ready to get back on track now. It is a lovely lead-up at Haydock for a filly that can get on her toes. She was great in the pre-parade at Ascot, then it all got to her a bit in the paddock. Hopefully she will be more relaxed this time." Hugo Palmer - Unforgetable Filly: "At Ascot the last day James Doyle was kicking himself afterwards, as he felt he could have won, but I don't think it was his fault. She was only beaten a length and it was great to see her back performing at stakes level. She is a fast-ground filly and if you look at her record she has been a non-runner at least twice this season because of the ground and if it rains that could be the case again. I think the blinkers have sharpened her up and racing round a bend suits her. She is in great shape and the best she has looked all season." Unforgetable Filly Unforgetable Filly - best she's looked all season Man On The Spot verdict: 7 4 Agrotera50 38-9OR: 99D 13/8 T: Ed WalkerJ: J P Spencer Form: 6-211Last Run Live betting powered by Three-year-olds have won the last six renewals and AGROTERA makes most appeal of this year’s contingent. Ed Walker’s progressive filly won a decent handicap at Ascot in June and looks ready for this step up in class. Narella came up short in Listed company at Sandown on her reappearance while Shepherd Market was narrowly beaten at this level over 7f at Newbury last year. New Day Dawn could be anything having won a novices’ race here by seven lengths while La Figlia is capable at this level and Unforgetable Filly posted a better effort at Ascot recently. The latter pair make most appeal of the older horses ahead of Lincoln Rocks and Dynamic. 1450 Ascot Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup Mile Stuart Williams - Via Serendipity: "He has been in very good form and likes Ascot. Obviously he's been running on the straight track and this one is round the bend, but he's in very good form and I'd be very hopeful for a good run." Man On The Spot verdict: 7 10 Fire Brigade44 49-11OR: 97D 11/2 T: M L W BellJ: G Mosse Form: 31-0028Last Run Live betting powered by Poet's Society was the subject of a gamble in last week’s Golden Mile at Goodwood and travelled strongly in the race until outpaced close home by the winner. Mythical Madness finished fifth in that race and Mark Johnston’s four-year-old, who thrives on racing, can reverse earlier form over 7f at Goodwood with Medahim. FIRE BRIGADE (NAP) was withdrawn at the start of the Golden Mile and Michael Bell will be hoping for compensation here. His charge is one who will relish the recent rain and he’s preferred to surprise Newbury scorer Red Tea and York third Bless Him. Shady Mccoy usually runs well in races of this type, however, and Via Serendipity should also be in the firing-line. Zwayyan would be interesting if getting a run. 1505 Haydock Smarkets Betting Exchange Rose Of Lancaster Stakes Owen Burrows - Elwazir: "I'm not sure he deserves to be favourite, but we are looking forward to running him and he has done nothing wrong this season. I'd like to think he is up to this class, but he has still got to go there and do the job. He wants a nice, galloping track and this looks a nice opportunity for him. There is a chance of a shower and if they do get one it would just take the sting out of the ground for him." Hugo Palmer - Fajjaj: "We are lucky that he is fairly versatile regarding ground, as he has run well on quick ground and won on good to soft ground. We sent him to Ayr two runs back to try to get some confidence into him and it really helped him, as he ran a career-best at Newbury. He has got the cheekpieces on again. Ben Curtis, who rides on Saturday, thought that when he went back up in class after he won on him at Ayr it would sharpen him up a bit, and they certainly did at Newbury. Hopefully they will have the same effect." Mark Johnston - Communique: "He's been a revelation this season. Obviously he needs to raise his game, as this will be his first run outside of handicap company and on ratings he's got a little bit to find, but we hope that he can do. The ground shouldn't make any difference to him." Communique skips clear to win at Goodwood Communique skips clear to win at Goodwood Man On The Spot verdict: 6 3 Fajjajp21 38-11OR: 109D 10/1 T: H PalmerJ: Ben Curtis Form: 4-22013Last Run Live betting powered by Mark Johnston sent out last year’s winner but Communique has a tough task confirming last month’s handicap form at Newmarket with the runner-up Zaaki re-opposing on much better terms. The latter should go close and the unexposed Elwazir will likely prove popular having won a handicap at Ascot last month. But FAJJAJ (NAP) finished second in the German 2000 Guineas back in May and found only a couple of higher rated rivals too good in a Listed contest at Newbury last time. Hugo Palmer’s colt gets another chance today with Brorocco preferred of the older horses on his recent good effort in a Group 2 at York. 1545 Newmarket german-thoroughbred.com Sweet Solera Stakes Charlie Johnston - Main Edition: "She has come out of the Duchess of Cambridge fine and we don't envisage the step up to seven furlongs being an issue, although the Lowther is still an option going forward. She was in the process of running below-par before getting badly hampered last time out and she got a bit upset beforehand down at the start that day so hopefully we have ironed that out since. If she bounces back to her Ascot form giving weight away shouldn't be a problem and we feel she will be hard to beat." Charlie Appleby - La Pelosa: "La Pelosa has been a consistent filly this year. She broke her maiden first time out and she was second in the Albany and placed last time out. She will appreciate this cut in the ground. If she brings the Albany form to the table and finds a bit of improvement on the ground she should go close. It was disappointing that she got beat at odds-on last time at Sandown but the ground was probably quick enough. She has been wanting a bit of cut in the ground and this is the first chance she is going to get it." Tom Marquand - Ajrar: "She impressed us first time out. A lot of what she had done had pleased us at home and we thought she would run quite well. The plan was always to step her up after her debut run and that is why we were so impressed that she won over six furlongs as she was always going to want further. She ran extremely well in a Listed race last time and took that form from her first run forward and going into the race it all points in the right direction. She is a good-moving horse and I don't think the ground will be a problem for her unless they get lots more rain." Richard Spencer - California Love: "She stepped up on her debut and won well last time out over course and distance. It is a step up in class again but she is in good form at home. She deserves a chance in a race like this so hopefully she will run a nice race. She has not worked on any ground like this so we won't know whether she handles it or not until after she has run." Man On The Spot verdict: 1 3 Main Edition29 29-3OR: 106 5/2 T: M JohnstonJ: P J McDonald Form: 1117Last Run Live betting powered by Ajrar had to force her way through when second in a Listed race at Sandown last time and, being less exposed, may well confirm that form with third La Pelosa. The latter ran MAIN EDITION to a neck in the Albany Stakes at Ascot but Mark Johnston’s filly will almost certainly appreciate this extra furlong after finishing behind her old rival in the Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes, when she was badly hampered. Impulsion was well beaten in this grade at Deauville after an earlier third here in Listed company but Pennywhistle should not be underestimated as she had plenty in hand here last month. 1600 Ascot Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup Sprint John Quinn – Shaheen: "He's in very good form. He won nicely at Windsor the other day. He's come out of the race in good shape and I would hope he'll run well." Man On The Sport verdict: 4 9 Roundhay Park30 39-6OR: 92 11/2 T: N TinklerJ: Hayley Turner Form: 0-14413Last Run Live betting powered by Shaheen looks progressive and has already had a good season, winning three times. He beat Consequences a length-and-a-quarter at Doncaster in June but the latter is now 7lb better off. George Of Hearts has been running well in tough handicaps and drops back to his winning distance but ROUNDHAY PARK should get much closer to Shaheen than he did at Pontefract earlier this summer as he is 12lb better off and he was a good third at Newmarket, well ahead of Helvetian, after winning at Ripon. Bungee Jump should run his usual game race and Tangled is worth a market check as a return to sprint distances might suit.

Nap: 215 Windsor 1 4 Gallovie23 29-0OR: - 8/11 T: Archie WatsonJ: Hollie Doyle Form: 2Last Run Live betting powered by Next best: 325 Windsor 2 4 Exceedingly Diva15 39-7OR: 81BFD 3/1 T: M P TregoningJ: Tyler Saunders (7) Form: 21-4Last Run Live betting powered by Gallovie shaped with abundant promise on her Newbury debut last month and looks difficult to oppose on her second start at Windsor. The daughter of Kyllachy was beaten just three-quarters of a length into second place on her introduction little over three weeks ago and deserves huge credit given she raced on the pace from the off. She was mowed down late by the more experienced Angel Mead, but finished ahead of the Queen's Magnetic Charm, who gave the form a significant boost when returning to Newbury to register a facile victory on Monday. Fledgling trainer Archie Watson has unearthed a few talented juveniles this season, with Royal Ascot hero Soldier's Call top of the pile. Gallovie looks another who can go on and make her mark at a higher level if she can, as expected, get off the mark in the Go Jump In Fillies' Novice Auction Stakes. Exceedingly Diva can perhaps recoup the losses of her recent Salisbury defeat in the Ossie & Hutch Memorial Fillies' Handicap. After going down by half a length on her Windsor debut, Marcus Tregoning's three-year-old rounded off her juvenile campaign with an authoritative victory at Salisbury. She was a heavily supported even-money favourite to make a winning reappearance at the same track late last month, but was far too keen to do herself justice in front and faded to finish fourth. Almost certain to strip a lot fitter for that first run in almost a year, she is given another chance to prove her worth as she enters the handicap arena for the first time off a mark of 81. Giving Glances gets the nod in the Dale Hall & Hickman Associates Fillies' Handicap at Leicester. The Passing Glance filly ran perfectly well on her first three starts in handicap company this season without success. Trainer Alan King decided to step her up to a mile and a half for the first time on her most recent outing and it proved the correct call as the extra distance appeared a major factor in her two-length success. A 7lb hike makes life tougher, but she is open to further improvement at this trip and looks sure to give a good account of herself. It would be no surprise to see her pursue a jumping career in due course. Group One honours are up for grabs in the Keeneland Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh. Aidan O'Brien has saddled a staggering 16 winners of the race in the last 20 years, including each of the last four, and is fancied to extend his incredible record with Sergei Prokofiev. He was beaten just over a length into third place in the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot and may have finished even closer to the eventual winner Calyx had he enjoyed a smoother run. Sporting Life tips: CURRAGH: 1.55 Cuileann, 2.25 Run The Day, 3.00 Fulminate, 3.35 Sergei Prokofiev, 4.10 Son Of Rest, 4.45 Caesar's Comet, 5.15 Medal Of Honour. DOWNPATRICK: 2.05 Agusta Gold, 2.40 Political Policy, 3.15 Make My Heart Fly, 3.50 Don't Let Go, 4.25 Present In Court, 4.55 Lady Of The Sea, 5.30 Neptune. LEICESTER: 2.00 Massam, 2.35 Sultan Baybars, 3.10 Giving Glances, 3.45 Neola, 4.20 Fabianski, 4.50 Nampara, 5.25 Compton Poppy. WINDSOR: 2.15 GALLOVIE (NAP), 2.50 West End Charmer, 3.25 Exceedingly Diva, 4.00 Bullingdon, 4.35 Ladweb, 5.05 Sigrid Nansen, 5.40 Safarhi, 6.10 Broad Appeal. DOUBLE: Gallovie and Exceedingly Diva.

Roaring Lion pleased connections as he stepped up his preparations for the Juddmonte International at York later this month with a racecourse gallop at Newmarket on Saturday. The John Gosden-trained son of Kitten's Joy made his first appearance on grass since winning last month's Coral-Eclipse at Sandown when working just under a mile with a stable companion before racing. Partnered by Robert Havlin, the Qatar Racing-owned three-year-old, who participated in a similar exercise before tasting Group One glory at the Esher track, pulled smartly clear of his lead horse during the closing stages of the gallop. Gosden said: "He worked with a much better horse than he did the last time he did this. I was very pleased with him and he worked very nicely. Rab said he had plenty left. It is the first time he has been on the grass since the Eclipse. The Limekilns this morning was the first time most had seen the grass for eight or nine weeks. "He has been in great nick. He has been in good form since Sandown and we are happy with him. It is an exciting race with Poet's Word and Saxon Warrior. There are some lovely horses in it." Gosden has not ruled King George defector Cracksman out of joining his stablemate in the mile-and-a-quarter Group One prize, should conditions be suitable. He said: "It is too far off to say if Cracksman would run. We don't know what the ground will be. Anything is under consideration, we will just see what the weather does. The weather has very much dictated our season so far. It is not often we have had it as dry as this. "The autumn racing is very important to Cracksman, there is no doubt about that. The owner is clear about that and I'm clear about that. The fast ground at Ascot wasn't his scene. He is a lovely horse, but he appreciates getting his toe in."

A review of the action from Saturday's meeting at Haydock where Tom Dascombe trained a big-race double. Dascombe star blooms in Rose Teodoro ran his rivals ragged to pick up Group Three honours in the Smarkets Betting Exchange Rose of Lancaster Stakes at Haydock. Richard Kingscote had Tom Dascombe's charge smartly out of the stalls and was soon dictating affairs from the front. The crucial stage of the race came when Kingscote stole a few lengths on the home turn. The move proved decisive, as Teodoro (10-1) maintained the gallop to come home from Brorocco by three and a quarter lengths, with favourite Zaaki in third. It was a double for Kingscote and Dascombe after the victory of No I'm Easy (6-1) in the Smarkets Handicap. Dascombe said: "When you have a jockey like that, who is riding with such supreme confidence, there's absolutely no need to give him instructions. In fact he tells me how he will ride them, not the other way round. I think he is just different class." He added: "We came here because having looked at the Ebor there was another two weeks to go and he has to have fast ground, so it was a good decision and I suppose we could still look at York." Kingscote said: "This horse has done really well this year, and it's a big thank you to Paul Gallagher who rides the horse in all his work and has got him beautifully relaxed. Halfway up the straight I thought I had possibly overdone it, but thankfully that wasn't the case." Haydock Park Races ✔ @haydockraces Take a bow, Richard Kingscote! 🙌 Teodoro see off all of his rivals in the Smarkets Betting Exchange Rose Of Lancaster Stakes (Group 3) and completes a double on the day for @tomdascombe and @rkingscote. 3:16 PM - Aug 11, 2018 28 See Haydock Park Races's other Tweets Twitter Ads info and privacy Hern romp for Palmer Filly Unforgetable Filly bounced back to top form with an emphatic victory in the Smarkets/British EBF Dick Hern Stakes. Hugo Palmer's charge had shown a glimmer of her best when wearing blinkers for the first time at Ascot on her latest start. Equipped with headgear again, she built on that to leave her rivals standing in the final furlong. Partnered by Ben Curtis, the 14-1 shot burst clear to land the Listed honours by eight lengths from New Day Dawn, with Queen Of Time a length and a half away in third place. Ed Walker's Royal Ascot winner Agrotera, the 10-11 favourite, was the big disappointment of the race. Curtis said: "She's certainly back to her old self, she demolished them today. She actually wasn't beaten far on her last run, but today she quickened up like the good filly I know she is." Unforgetable Filly Unforgetable Filly - right back to her best at Haydock Palmer was at Newmarket, where he said: "She needs fast ground and that is what she got today. She got very sick when she was going to run in the Falmouth last year and that really knocked her confidence. "She ran two bad races on soft round which knocked her confidence as well and she has had a lot of bad luck, as this is the hottest summer in living memory and she has been a non-runner three times because of soft ground. "She ran a great race at Ascot the other day and that gave her some confidence. She never looked like getting beat today. She travelled through the race phenomenally strongly. He had a double handful when everything else was going at it. "I thought she might have hit the front too soon, but she just galloped away. We've not seen that a great deal at home and that is why we put the blinkers on her. She has really galloped through the line. "She has looked like Group horse again, which is exciting. Dr Ali (Ridha, owner) is always very sporting about supplementing horses, so we may have to do that for the Sun Chariot. There is a Group Three at York (Strensall Stakes) which we could go for." He added: "It is important to say it's a massive credit for the owner to keep going with her, as I've asked two or three times do you want to keep going, as she has disappointed a few times, but he has stuck by her."

Lester Piggott was at Haydock Park on Saturday to see Alemaratalyoum get up close home to take the race celebrating the 70th anniversary of his first ever winner. Weighing-room veteran Joe Fanning timed his run to perfection on the Iain Jardine-trained four-year-old in the Smarkets Lester Piggott 70th Anniversary Handicap that remembered Piggott's maiden triumph at age of just 12 in 1948. Apprentice rider Gary Mahon looked like he might come out on top, but Fanning showed the value of his many years of experience by producing Alemaratalyoum (8-1) to win by a neck. The Chase in a selling handicap was that first winner for Piggott, and appropriately he also recorded the final victory of his glittering career at Haydock, winning on Palacagate Jack in 1994. He said: "I had some great days here and it's a tremendous honour for Haydock to run a race in my honour." Bill Whittle, former chairman of Haydock and who hosted Piggott for the day, said: "It's a tremendous privilege for Haydock Park to have been the place for his first and last winner. "Over that period of time - for any sportsman these days to achieve that would be very special indeed." Meanwhile, Jardine said of the winner: "Things didn't go his way in the Carlisle Bell, and instead of being put into the pack he went forward. Things didn't go to plan then, but the race panned out perfectly for him here."

BANKER
One Flew Over (5.40 Windsor)
He doesn't have the most appealing form figures and does plenty wrong in his races, but it could be worth wading in with One Flew Over now stepped up in trip. The gelded son of Jeremy has taken plenty of time to come to hand, but if there's one trainer that can get everything out of a horse it has to be Ian Williams. He has been well supported on his last three runs but disappointed each time and connections have now decided to step up in four and a half furlongs in one swift move. He's been outpaced in races over 7f and a mile before plugging on at the end and the extra distance is sure to suit.
9/2 One Flew Over 5:40 Windsor EYECATCHER
Giving Glances (3.10 Leicester)
This is a trappy little handicap and any of the five could win, but I put Giving Glances in my tracker when she finished a half-length second to the now 105-rated Maid Up at Doncaster at the start of June and she can now rack up a sequence of victories following her recent success. The form of that Doncaster event is working out extremely well, with the winner finishing a short-head second in Group company at Goodwood and the third and fourth scoring since. Giving Glances was disappointing on extremely fast ground at Nottingham on her penultimate start, but impressed in the way she fended off a Sir Mark Prescott improver last time and further progression is likely.
3/1 Giving Glances 3:10 Leicester

Finian Maguire has had three winners from eight rides at Downpatrick, a 38 per cent strike-rate. He is booked to ride the well-bred Neptune in the 5.30.
Charles Hills and Jim Crowley have individual strike-rates of 21 and 16 per cent at Leicester, and that rises to 45 per cent when they join forces. They team up with Makambe in the 4.20.
Chris Dwyer has a 13 per cent strike-rate, which improves to 25 per cent (2-8) when he equips a runner with first-time cheekpieces. Faithful Promise, who goes in the 4.50 at Leicester, is equipped with the headgear.

Advertise (3.35 Curragh)
Runner-up in the Coventry Stakes before comfortably landing the July Stakes at Newmarket last month, the Martyn Meade-trained colt can make a successful step up to Group 1 level and he gets the vote to become the first British-trained winner of the Phoenix Stakes since 1997.

in today's sporting life................. Not So Sleepy is Keith Hamer's best bet of the day at Ayr on Monday and he has a tip for every race in the UK and Ireland. Nap: Not So Sleepy (3.40 Ayr) 1 5 Not So Sleepyt13 610-0OR: 95D 7/2 T: H MorrisonJ: G Lee Form: 603488Last Run Live betting powered by Next Best: Restive Spirit (3.25 Ripon) 4 4 Restive Spirit9 39-4OR: 92CD 2/1 T: W J HaggasJ: Ben Curtis Form: 4215Last Run Live betting powered by Not So Sleepy can give his rivals a wake-up call by taking advantage of a drop in grade in the Ayrshire Cancer Support James Bond Ball Handicap at Ayr. Hughie Morrison's charge was a Group Three regular after landing the Listed Dee Stakes at Chester as a three-year-old and has been competing in stronger handicaps than this. However, the six-year-old steps down a little more in class having been out of luck since June 2017. Not So Sleepy has to carry top weight, but his class can see him come out on top. Branscombe ended a run of four-placed efforts when holding Purple Rock by half a length at Chelmsford. The drop down in trip from 10 furlongs to a mile suited the Mark Johnston-trained three-year-old and he can defy a 5lb rise in the ratings to take the Ayrshire Cancer Support Handicap. Restive Spirit was given a pretty stiff task for his first try in a handicap when fifth to Vale Of Kent at Glorious Goodwood. That was a fair effort and he is certainly worth supporting in the Ripon Annual Badgeholders Handicap at the North Yorkshire course. The William Haggas-trained colt had gone to the Sussex Downs on the back of a seven-length romp over this course and distance a month ago, on what was then just his third career start. A return to the scene of that success can see the son of Intello return to winning ways. Tawdeea can end a lean spell going back to October 2016 by taking the Weatherbys General Stud Book Handicap. David O'Meara's six-year-old had won the Old Newton Cup at Haydock earlier that season but has found life tough since then. He had a long break following a wind operation and is now down to a career-low mark of 85 despite three reasonable efforts since his return. Midnight Meeting can justify a couple of lofty entries by completing a hat-trick in the MPM Flooring Handicap at Windsor. The Godolphin colt, trained by Saeed by Bin Suroor, has looked packed full of promise in winning novice events at Nottingham and Salisbury. Whether he will prove good enough to take up engagements in either the Sky Bet Great Voltigeur Stakes or the William Hill St Leger, time will tell, but the son of Dubawi looks very much on the upgrade. Pheidippides can gain just reward after four encouraging efforts since returning from a 293-day absence by taking the attheraces.com Handicap at Wolverhampton for trainer Tom Clover.

Advertise became the first British-trained winner of the Keeneland Phoenix Stakes in over 20 years with a workmanlike victory at the Curragh. Martyn Meade's colt was the 11-10 favourite in the hands of Frankie Dettori, with three of his four rivals trained by Aidan O'Brien, who had saddled a staggering 16 winners of the race in the last 20 years. Advertise had finished marginally ahead of the reopposing Sergei Prokofiev when they came home second and third in the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot in June, since which Meade's charge had claimed an impressive victory in the July Stakes at Newmarket. The Irish Rover adopted a pacesetting role, with Advertise always in his slipstream. With Sergei Prokofiev failing to fire, The Irish Rover and Advertise settled down to fight it out and were joined by So Perfect racing inside the last of six furlongs. There was little to split the trio as they raced for the line, but Advertise stuck his neck out to score by half a length, with So Perfect beating The Irish Rover to the runner-up spot. Advertise is the first British raider to claim the Phoenix Stakes since Mark Johnston's Princely Heir in 1997. Meade said: "I've been quite bullish about this horse and luckily it's paid off, otherwise I might have had to eat my words a bit. "I'm very pleased with him, it's great, and maybe we'll step him up to seven furlongs now. "We'll give him a bit of a break and then go for the Dewhurst or something like that I suppose. It seems logical and he'll get further." He added: "The big question is if he'll get a mile, but he'll definitely get seven. "It was a great result. Obviously I was coming here with a lot of trepidation, but you can tell very good horses at home, going to perform for you, got the form and did the job. "If you've got a good horse it makes a difference, you don't have to struggle too much then. "It was a great ride by Frankie and it's great to have him on board. As he said to me after he won the July Stakes, 'send him anywhere you like' and that proved to be right. "I'm thrilled to bits with him. Every run he's been held up and produced with a turn of foot, but he was able to dictate today and it shows that he knows his job now."

Alpha Centauri continued her fantastic campaign with an impressive victory in the Prix Jacques le Marois at Deauville. Jessica Harrington's filly has arguably been the star of the season so far, following up her Irish 1,000 Guineas triumph with scintillating displays in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot and the Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket. She was a 10-11 favourite to claim a fourth successive Group One victory in France and her supporters will have had few nervous moments. Colm O'Donoghue positioned Alpha Centauri on the heels of With You near the stands rail before angling out and allowing his mount to stretch racing inside the final half-mile. Once again the response was superb as the Irish challenger found another gear to leave her rivals trailing in her wake. Recoletos was best of the rest in second ahead of With You in third. The Ken Condon-trained pair of Success Days and Romanised finished in midfield, ahead of Eve Johnson Houghton's shock Queen Anne Stakes victor Accidental Agent. Harrington said: "She's an amazing filly. I must admit, bringing her here to take on colts and older horses, I thought I must be mad. But then again, I felt we might as well keep her going and it was a fantastic performance. "Three furlongs down she decided it was time to go, which was longer from the finish than I'd hoped, but I could see on the screen that she had the group on the far side behind her and once given her head, she just kept going away from them. "When she does that, you hope she's not burning up too much energy because there are several possibilities now. "She's in the Matron Stakes at Leopardstown, the Sun Chariot at Newmarket and the mile at Ascot (Queen Elizabeth II Stakes) and if she does make it through to the Breeders' Cup, it will have been a very long season by then. "She's given me a few sleepless nights, I have to admit that, but it's not quite like training Moscow Flyer as there are no fences to worry about! "I really want to see how she is before making a definite plan and she will be back home in her stable tonight." Charlie Bishop, rider of Accidental Agent, felt something may have been amiss, adding: "He was never going at any stage. That isn't his true form."

Connections of Pilaster are favouring an outing in next month's DFS Park Hill Stakes at Doncaster as opposed to supplementing her for the William Hill St Leger. The fillies' only Group Two is the preferred option on Town Moor for the Roger Varian-trained three-year-old, who completed a hat-trick of victories when scoring at the same level in the Lillie Langtry Stakes at Goodwood. Chris Richardson, racing manager to owners Cheveley Park Stud, said: "I don't think we will be supplementing her for the St Leger. We talked about the St Leger, but we took a view that the Park Hill makes sense, then we will see. "She is a filly that will stay in training next year so we would prefer to bring her along gradually. "We don't want to aim too high, too quickly. She was impressive the other day, but we would prefer to creep along with her. "The Fillies And Mares race at Ascot is something we would definitely look at. It is back over a mile and a half, but the ground would suit her."

GOOD THING
Greeley (6.30 Windsor)
Unsuited by sprint trips on his three starts in novice company, Greeley was given 52 days off the track and has gone unbeaten in two nurseries since when stepped up to 7f. He ran on well to score by two lengths at Leicester on his penultimate run, before handling the softer conditions when beating ten rivals at Newmarket last time off a mark of 66. The form of that contest is working out well with the fifth scoring next time, and he can complete a hat-trick off 6lb higher.
5/2 Greeley 6:30 Windsor

Newmarket: David Milnes
Buckland Boy (7.30 Windsor, nap)
Charlie Fellowes's hope was not far behind a few subsequent winners when seventh in a maiden at Kempton last month and could be well treated off a mark of 67. The son of Bated Breath blew out well for this on the Limekilns on Friday.
4/1 Buckland Boy 7:30 Windsor Others to follow Ripon 3.25 Restive Spirit. Windsor 5.30 Arnoul Of Metz, 6.00 Ip Dip, 6.30 Revich, 7.00 Midnight Meeting, 8.00 Dubai Silk. Wolverhampton 5.40 Miss Milly B, 6.10 Dutch Monarch, 6.40 Central City, 7.10 Maid Millie, 7.40 Real Estate, 8.10 Mythological.
North: Colin Russell
Speed Company (3.40 Ayr, nap)
Returned from a break to finish fifth over course and distance last time. Well handicapped on his best form, any rain will suit and his stable is going great guns.
15/2 Speed Company 3:40 Ayr Others to follow Ayr 1.35 Freed From Desire, 2.05 Harbour Patrol, 2.40 Be Bold, 3.10 Chinese Spirit, 4.15 Bossipop, 4.45 Our Place In Loule, 5.15 Burnieboozle.

Wolverhampton 5.40 Wide Acclaim, 7.10 French Twist, 7.40 Pinarella, 8.10 Kit Marlowe, 8.40 Corton Lad.
Lambourn: James Burn
Smooth Sailing (6.10 Wolverhampton, nap)
Never got into it at Leicester last time, but has had a nice break since then and stepping back up in trip to 7f should suit this lightly raced filly, who has potential to be better than we have seen.
10/1 Smooth Sailing 6:10 Wolverhampton (AW) Others to follow Ayr 3.40 Not So Sleepy. Ripon 2.20 Nina Petrova. Windsor 5.30 Langley Vale, 6.00 Shorter Skirt, 7.00 Fast Dancer. Wolverhampton 5.40 Javelin.
West Country: Tim Mitchell
Trotter (6.40 Wolverhampton, nap)
Off the mark in a seller over course and distance in February and, on these terms, he is fancied to add to that success.
6/4 Trotter 6:40 Wolverhampton (AW) Others to follow Windsor 6.30 Greeley.
Racing Post Ratings: Sam Walker
Bossipop (4.15 Ayr)
Well treated on last year's form and been edging closer to that level on recent starts. Not beaten far at Ripon last time and down in grade here.
4/1 Bossipop 4:15 Ayr Topspeed: Dave Edwards
First Bombardment (4.45 Ayr)
Made a pleasing seasonal return on his first run for Gordon Elliott here on Saturday and, with the outing under his belt, looks poised to end his lean spell.
5/1 First Bombardment 4:45 Ayr Longshot: Olly Eden
First Bombardment (4.45 Ayr)
Dropped in the handicap last year before making a satisfactory return to action following a long absence on Saturday, travelling smoothly before flattening out. Gordon Elliott's gelding is entitled to improve for the run and can go well at an each-way price.
5/1 First Bombardment 4:45 Ayr Ireland: Tony O'Hehir
Perfect Tapatino (6.20 Ballinrobe)
Having encountered traffic problems which possibly cost him the race at Leopardstown on Thursday, the Joseph O'Brien-trained four-year-old, who was making his handicap debut when third in that 20-runner event, can get off the mark over this longer trip.
6/5 Perfect Tapatino 6:20 Ballinrobe The Raceform Interactive nugget
Joe Fanning has won on both his previous two mounts for trainer John James Feane (+£4.62 to £1 stakes), including once at Ayr. He bids to maintain his 100 per cent record on Curly Girl in the 2.40.
9/2 Curly Girl 2:40 Ayr
