Stormin Tom is 10lb higher than when taking the 2.55 at Ripon last year, but has been in good form and showed that this mark is not beyond him last time.
It is normally offputting to see a hood on a debutant, but Tom Dascombe is 3-7 when applying the aid and the speedily bred Lola’s Theme (7.10 Wolverhampton) is worthy of interest.
Good Tyne Girl was a straightforward winner on Friday and with trainer Richard Fahey boasting a 23 per cent strike-rate with winners returning within a week, she should have no trouble winning the 1.50 at Ripon.

8.00 Windsor
A course and distance winner last time out, Dubai Silk doesn't have many miles on the clock and the form of that May win has worked out very well.
It has produced plenty of winners, with the runner-up, Kimifive, and third, How Far, now rated in the 90s. If able to dominate again as she did last time, Dubai Silk could take some catching.
7/4 Dubai Silk 8:00 Windsor Pheidippides 8.10 Wolverhampton
It is a bit of a surprise Pheidippides has not got his head in front yet, but he has been running consistently and might be able to shed his maiden tag this evening.
The Tom Clover-trained three-year-old possibly does not have much room for manoeuvre off a mark of 80, but is a solid conveyance, and Clover has his team in decent order.
5/2 Pheidippides 8:10 Wolverhampton (AW)

Paul Mulrennan expects to know more about when he can return to the saddle after seeing his specialist next week, but he said on Monday that he was feeling good – if still a little sore – four weeks on from the fall that left him with a triple fracture in his back.
The incident, which happened on Michael Dods' gallops when a horse he was riding planted, left Mulrennan with fractures in his L2, L3 and L4 – in the lower lumbar area – but he did not require surgery.
He said: "It's been four weeks and I'm on the mend. I'm hoping to be back in another three weeks, something like that. I don't really know a timescale to be honest but I've been doing plenty of exercise and physio, doing whatever I can, but I haven't sat on a horse yet.
"I'm in Ireland at the moment with my daughter and I'm seeing the specialist next week. I'm still a little bit sore but it's only been four weeks."
Another Bath meeting moved
Bath has had a fourth fixture transferred to a sister Arena Racing Company track with the warm summer showing little sign of abating.
While there has been some rain around of late, it has not arrived in sufficient quantities to enable Bath, which has no watering system, to resume racing.
Fixtures have so far been moved to Wolverhampton and Chepstow, and Brighton will host its meeting a week on Wednesday.
The 1m6f handicap that was the qualifier for the Bath Stayers Series will now be run over two miles and two furlongs at Chepstow a week on Thursday, rather than at the Brighton fixture due to the lack of an appropriate start there.

Newmarket: David Milnes
Across The Sea (3.15 Ffos Las, nap)
The daughter of Dubawi could be well weighted in her first nursery after some promising efforts in better company. James Tate's filly has worked well on the Cambridge Road Polytrack of late.
9/2 Across The Sea 3:15 Ffos Las Others to follow Chelmsford: 2.00 Seductive, 2.30 Ummalnar, 3.00 Mudallal, 3.30 Wissahickon, 4.30 Wiff Waff, 5.00 Alexanderthegreat.

Thirsk 5.50 Double Quick, 6.50 Alexana 7.50 Raaqyah.
North: Colin Russell
French Heroine (6.50 Thirsk, nap)
Lightly-raced filly who shaped really well when fourth in a novice race at Doncaster on first run for her current yard. The trip will suit and is fancied to get off the mark at her third attempt.
14/1 French Heroine 6:50 Thirsk Others to follow Chelmsford: 3.30 Juneau. Nottingham: 5.05 Ravenhoe, 5.35 Mark's Choice, 6.05 Sootability, 6.35 Burn Some Dust, 7.05 Bengali Boys, 7.35 Rolladice, 8.05 Searanger.

Lambourn: James Burn
Tafawoq (2.15 Ffos Las, nap)
A little cut in the ground should suit this filly, who has not been disgraced in quicker conditions this summer. The six furlong trip should suit too and a bold show is expected.
11/2 Tafawoq 2:15 Ffos Las Others to follow Chelmsford: 2.00 Gold Arrow, 3.30 Blue Mist, 4.30 Gold Filigree. Ffos Las: 2.45 Brawny, 3.15 Glorious Charmer, 3.45 Cosmogyral, 4.15 Guild, 4.45 Garbanzo, 5.15 Mankind. Nottingham: 5.05 Full Suit, 5.35 Balata Bay, 6.05 Sweet Pearl, 6.35 Affair, 7.35 Spin Top, 8.05 Secret Agent.
West Country: Tim Mitchell
Sweet Pursuit (2.15 Ffos Las, nap)
Rod Millmans' hat-trick chasing filly has been found an inviting opportunity to remain unbeaten at the track with Finley Marsh's claim offsetting the 5lb rise.
11/8 Sweet Pursuit 2:15 Ffos Las Others to follow Chelmsford: 4.00 Dora's Field. Ffos Las: 3.45 Honourbound, 4.45 Hawridge Flyer.
Racing Post Ratings: Sam Walker
Daily Trader (3.45 Ffos Las)
Missed the break but stayed on late to finish fourth at Brighton last time and should go close if he can break on terms this time. Step up in trip and softer ground should suit.
12/1 Daily Trader 3:45 Ffos Las Topspeed: Dave Edwards
Three Weeks (3.30 Chelmsford)
Disappointed at Kempton in March but has been gelded since and this step up in trip may bring out the best in him.
11/2 Three Weeks 3:30 Chelmsford (AW) Longshot: Neil McCabe
Nordic Combined (4.45 Ffos Las)
Has won three times on soft or heavy ground and over this trip too. It would be no surprise if he bounced back from recent below-par efforts here.
9/1 Nordic Combined 4:45 Ffos Las *There are no tips from Ireland
The Raceform Interactive nugget
Oisin Murphy's three rides in handicaps at Nottingham for Hughie Morrison since 2016 have produced two wins at 14/1 and 12/1. The trainer is a solid 8/23 at the track in such races (+£41) in this period and he's booked Murphy to ride Affair at 6.35.

Theodore Ladd has an impressive 67 per cent strike-rate at Thirsk and goes there for three rides with the pick of those Queens Royale in the 7.50. The four-year-old filly should appreciate the step back up to a mile.
Roger Varian has a 43 per cent strike-rate at Ffos Las and sends one horse to the Welsh venue, Sharja Silk, for the 4.45. The son of Dubawi is getting the hang of things and seems to have found a good opportunity to break the maiden tag.
When Oisin Murphy rides for Hughie Morrison at Nottingham it's worth taking note. They have a 43 per cent strike-rate when combining at the course and do so with Affair in the 6.35. After a good second over course and distance last time, the softer ground should play to her strengths.

Ruth Carr's dependable sprinter handles all sorts of ground and rarely runs a bad race.
The eight-year-old is 2lb higher than his last win, but in a race where there should be a good pace to aim at, he might be able to come through with a winning challenge.

Billesdon Bess (3.40) is 3-6 at Salisbury and returns to the track for the first time since winning this race last season. She has run below-par so far this season but the return here could revitalise her.
William Haggas has a 47 per cent strike-rate when fitting a tongue-tie for the first time and Extra Large (8.00 Kempton) has the equipment fitted. Making his handicap debut with James Doyle back on board, he looks a decent bet.
Under Curfew (2.00 Beverley) runs for Jedd O’Keeffe and PJ McDonald, who have a 50 per cent record when teaming up at the Yorkshire venue. He made a pleasing debut here last month and should come on for that experience. With a good draw to boot, he could go close.

Look Surprised (2.40 Salisbury, nap)
This mare is on a roll and is chasing a hat-trick under apprentice William Cox, who is riding well and with lots of confidence. A course-and-distance winner at the track two starts ago, she should like the fast ground.

Chantecler (3.50 Newton Abbot, nap)
Appreciated the drop back to the minimum trip when scoring comfortably over course and distance last week. Penalty should not be enough to stop him following up.

Chain Of Daisies (3.40 Salisbury)
Rates the clear pick on her best form and this front-runner should be hard to pass as she bids to repeat her win in this race in 2016.
3/1 Chain Of Daisies 3:40 Salisbury Topspeed: Dave Edwards
Pleasant Surprise (3.40 Salisbury)
Below par when last of six on her seasonal return at York last month, but Luca Cumani's filly is entitled to improve and a much better showing could be in the offing.
6/1 Pleasant Surprise 3:40 Salisbury Longshot: David Revers
Bobby Biscuit (8.30 Kempton)
Simon Dow's horses are in good form and the Scat Daddy gelding should be hard to catch from a perfect draw. He is interesting dropped in trip at a course he likes and has had a wind operation since his last run.
10/1 Bobby Biscuit 8:30 Kempton (AW) Ireland: Tony O'Hehir
Facethepuckout (5.10 Gowran Park)
The son of Excelebration has performed well on his two nursery starts, more recently when beaten a neck at the Galway festival. The Joseph O'Brien-trained colt can make it third-time lucky with Donnacha O'Brien on board for the first time.

9/2 Bogoss Du Perret 4:20 Newton Abbot Finished runner-up in the corresponding race 12 months ago to the well-handicapped The Geegeez Geegee, and went one better on a return visit to Newton Abbot the following month.
Best when forcing the pace, Bogoss Du Perret left the impression there were more races to be won with him this summer when shaping nicely under more restrained tactics at Worcester last time out.
There is further improvement to come from this seven-year-old, and he looks worth a bet.

in today's sporting life............... Chris Wilson feels Sir Michael Stoute is the trainer to follow and he has a tip for every race in the UK and Ireland. NAP: 3.40 Salisbury 7 5 Crystal Hope88 38-8OR: 91BFD 3/1 T: Sir Michael StouteJ: R L Moore Form: 6-13Last Run Live betting powered by Next best: 3.30 Beverley 6 2 Hamlul22 39-1OR: 78BF 6/4 T: Sir Michael StouteJ: R Kingscote Form: 825Last Run Live betting powered by Crystal Hope cannot be ignored in the British Stallion Studs EBF Upavon Fillies' Stakes at Salisbury. Sir Michael Stoute's three-year-old has been off the track since May, but she is the most interesting horse in this nine-runner field. The daughter of Nathaniel looked a potential top-notcher at Sandown in April when she surged three lengths clear in a hot novice fillies' stakes that featured Musidora winner Give And Take. But it was her run over a mile and a quarter at Newbury on May 19 which deserves even closer scrutiny. Crystal Hope was perhaps unhinged by a soporific early gallop in a Listed race that was competed on rattling-fast ground, but she still finished third as the 2-1 favourite. On the face of it, Stoute might have been a touch disappointed by that run, though subsequent events would suggest that was actually a pretty good effort. The winner that day, Sea Of Class, is now a Classic heroine, while runner-up Athena claimed the Grade One Belmont Oaks in July. Stoute's inmate, a half-sister to Crystal Ocean, gets weight from all but two rivals in the Upavon Fillies' Stakes, in a race in which three-year-olds have a fine record. And with Ryan Moore in the saddle, there is an awful lot to like about her chances of winning this before stepping up in class. Crantock Bay should not be too far away in the British EBF Molson Coors Novice Stakes. George Scott's young colt caught the eye on his debut at Ascot in July when he flashed home for second place behind Production, beaten a neck. That was a perfectly decent effort from the two-year-old son of Havana Gold, who was going nowhere quickly until the penny finally dropped at the death. Tin Hat is the obvious danger in this six-furlong test, but Crantock Bay is in receipt from 3lb from that one and he could have a bit of a future. Keep an eye, too, on Signore Piccolo, who runs in the five-furlong SH Jones Wines Handicap. David Loughnane's seven-year-old has only gone up 1lb for a good performance at Beverley last time and looks handicapped to win a humble race of this nature. Frankel colt Hamlul jumps off the racecard ahead of his handicap debut at Beverley. This 200,000 euro purchase has not yet set the racing world alight, but he has been found a very winnable opportunity on the Westwood. The three-year-old grey has shown spits and spots of form in three starts, with his second-placed finish at Kempton in June the highlight. He was then stepped up to a mile and a half for a novice stakes at Newcastle last month. Hamlul absolutely cruised into contention under Jamie Spencer, but did not find much towards the business end and wilted into fifth place. As a half-brother to Group Two winner Sumbal, Stoute has made the logical decision to drop back in distance for the Jill Willows Handicap over a mile and a quarter. This hardly looks an epic encounter, too, so it would be most disappointing if he did not end up being considerably better than an inaugural mark of 78 might indicate. Sporting Life tips: BEVERLEY: 2.00 Dancing Rave, 2.30 Kingson, 3.00 Jacbequick, 3.30 Hamlul, 4.00 Ideal Candy, 4.30 Moon Of Baroda, 5.00 Porchy Party. GOWRAN: 4.35 Chagall, 5.10 Silver Service, 5.40 Arthurian Fame, 6.10 Bella Estrella, 6.40 Mazzuri, 7.10 Pedisnap, 7.40 Nulife, 8.10 Prepare For Battle.

Poet’s Word pleased in his latest gallop and is on course for the Juddmonte International Stakes, the £1million Group One highlight of York’s Welcome to Yorkshire Ebor Festival. Bruce Raymond, racing manager to owner Saeed Suhail, reported on Tuesday morning that the Sir Michael Stoute-trained King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes winner had a weekend workout with a lead horse on the Al Bahathri exercise ground in Newmarket. Raymond said: "Poet’s Word worked very well on Sunday morning. He worked on the all-weather, which he has done most of his work on. He just had a nice breeze and that was good. Michael was very happy with him and he is on schedule to run at York." Poet’s Word will be stepping back in trip from a mile and a half at Ascot to an extended mile and a quarter on the Knavesmire. But the five-year-old son of Port’s Voice has already shown that won’t be a concern, winning a Group 1 at both distances. Raymond confirmed: "It’s not a problem. He’s very versatile. A mile and a quarter, a mile and a half it’s the same for him." Poet’s Word has been yet another beneficiary of Stoute’s masterful touch when it comes to improving a horse year on year. And he is to give the master of Freemason Lodge a seventh victory in the Juddmonte International Stakes, which will be staged next Wednesday. Raymond added: “He would have a good favourite’s chance. I think they’ve got to beat him, rather than the other way round.” Stoute took the prize as recently as last season courtesy of Ulysses, with his previous stars being Notnowcato (2006), Singspiel (1997), dual winner Ezzoud (1993 and 1994) and Shardari (1986). The Welcome to Yorkshire Ebor Festival runs for four days: from Wednesday 22 August to Saturday 25 August.

The victory of West End Charmer at Windsor on Sunday means Mark Johnston is now three short of Richard Hannon's record of 4193 winners for a British trainer. Johnston drew a blank on Tuesday with his four runners but the entries come thick and fast over the coming days. We profile his forthcoming runners as he thunders towards the remarkable milestone. Wednesday 14:20 Beverley - Beverley Flemingate Shopping Centre EBF Novice Stakes 3 8 Dream Sands 29-2OR: - 6/1 T: M JohnstonJ: J Fanning Live betting powered by Fascinating newcomer by leading sire Oasis Dream and the seventh foal of Singspiel mare Silkwood. His brother won over six furlongs as a juvenile but two winning half-brothers needed a little further and more time to find their stride. Interesting to see how he shapes up in the betting market as the yard won this novice event with Baileys Excelerate 12 months ago. Wide draw obviously not ideal starting point but Johnston's two-year-olds usually break well and a bold bid looks likely first time up. 15:30 Beverley - Jill Willows Handicap 7 8 Firlinfeub111 38-11OR: 74 11/1 T: M JohnstonJ: J Fanning Form: 726345Last Run Live betting powered by Seems to have taken a few backward steps since promising second run of the season when second at Ripon and on the face of it the handicapper has been quite slow to react. Competes from a career-low mark of 74 here and connections are already eyeing a handicap at Chepstow on Thursday too so not to be completely discounted. 18:30 Kempton - Call Star Sports On 08000 521 321 Nursery 5 7 Diviner12 28-13OR: 77 12/1 T: M JohnstonJ: F Norton Form: 71316Last Run Live betting powered by Won two of his four starts earlier in the year and may just have needed it when returning from almost two months off at Thirsk earlier this month. Needs to step up markedly on that effort but the move up to six furlongs from the minimum trip could help in that regard. A 1lb ease in the ratings may not quite be enough, though.

Beverley, 15 Aug 18 Fixture Note After Race 4: Going changed to Good to Firm (from Good, Good to Firm in places) Race 1 - 2:00pm THE WELCOME TO FLEMINGATE LADIES DAY NOVICE AUCTION STAKES (CLASS 5) Permission was given for HERE'S ROCCO (IRE) and AMOREENA to go to post early.
HAGGSWOOD BOY unseated Andrew Elliott on the track and cantered quietly loose to post. Having been examined by the Doctor and Veterinary Surgeon at the start, both the rider and the gelding were deemed fit to race.
The winner PACKINGTON LANE, appeared to show an improvement in form, compared with its previous run at Thirsk on 3 August 2018, where the gelding finished fifth of six beaten 12 lengths. Tim Easterby’s representative explained that the gelding broke better on this occasion and may have appreciated being able to dominate. Their explanation was noted and PACKINGTON LANE was routine tested.
Following the race, Andrew Elliott reported that HAGGSWOOD BOY, unplaced, hung sharply left approximately 3½ furlongs out. Jack Mitchell reported that AMOREENA, unplaced, stumbled badly leaving the stalls causing him to lose an iron.
Race 2 - 2:30pm THE BEVERLEY FLEMINGATE SHOPPING CENTRE EBF NOVICE STAKES (CLASS 5) Permission was given for SAMEEM (IRE) to go to post early.
Following the race, Richard Kingscote reported that FIVE ANGELS (IRE), unplaced, ran green and was outpaced in the early stages.
Race 3 - 3:00pm THE GUEST AND PHILIPS AT FLEMINGATE CLASSIFIED CLAIMING STAKES (CLASS 5) Permission was given for KODY RIDGE (IRE) to go to post early.
It was noted that on leaving the stalls, JUSTICE PLEASING, placed third, jumped left at the same time as DONTGIVEUPONBOB, placed fifth, jumped right onto MAJOR CRISPIES, placed seventh, causing JACK NEVISON, placed second, to be momentarily short of room. However, having viewed a recording of the incident, it was found that it did not involve a riding offence.
Following the race, Andrew Mullen reported that JACK NEVISON, placed second, suffered interference leaving the stalls.
Race 4 - 3:30pm THE JILL WILLOWS HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 4) The performance of CHINGACHGOOK which finished unplaced, was considered. The representative of Richard Fahey could offer no explanation for the colt’s performance. The Veterinary Officer reported that a post-race examination of the colt during routine testing found the colt to have lost its left fore shoe.
Race 5 - 4:00pm THE OUTFIT AT FLEMINGATE HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 5) Permission was given for IDEAL CNADY (IRE) to go to post early.
Following the race, Ben Curtis reported that HARBOUR PILOT, placed eighth, hung left throughout. Phil Dennis reported that POPPYINTHEPARK, placed seventh, was never travelling.
Race 6 - 4:30pm THE RACING UK HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 5) It was noted that 1 furlong out, KAJAKI (IRE), placed third, edged slightly left causing MOON OF BARODA, placed fifth, to be momentarily checked. However, after viewing a recording of the incident, it was found that it did not involve a riding offence.
Following the race, the representative of Charles Hills reported that MOON OF BARODA, placed fifth, had lost its left front shoe. The Veterinary Officer reported that KAJAKI (IRE), placed third, lost its right hind shoe. Rachel Richardson reported that AIRPLANE (IRE), placed seventh, ran too free and hung left.
Race 7 - 5:00pm THE RACING AGAIN TOMORROW HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 5) Permission was given for PALMER (IRE) to be mounted on the track and go to post early. It was noted that BOW BELLES wore earplugs.
PALMER (IRE) lost its left fore shoe on the way to the start and therefore ran without it.
It was noted that approaching 1 furlong out, WRENTHORPE, placed third, hung quickly left onto GOLD STONE, placed fourth, which in turn moved PALMER (IRE), placed sixth, and CAMEO STAR (IRE), placed fifth, off their intended lines. However, after viewing a recording of the incident, it was found that it did not involve a riding offence.
An enquiry was held to consider interference inside the final furlong when WRENTHORPE, placed third, ridden by Harry Russell, drifted left and interfered with GOLD STONE, placed fourth, ridden by Tom Eaves. Russell was cautioned for careless riding as he allowed his mount to drift left without sufficient correction, moving GOLD STONE slightly off its intended line. View Stewards report Kempton Park, 15 Aug 18 Race 1 - 5:30pm THE STARSPORTS.BET NURSERY HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 6) (Jockey Club Grassroots Nursery Qualifier) Harry Bentley was fined £140 as, having been declared to ride CRUCK RAILIE (IRE), he had failed to weigh out having not left sufficient time to travel from Salisbury. Jim Crowley was substituted.

Race 2 - 6:00pm THE STARSPORTS.BET/BRITISH STALLION STUDS EBF FILLIES' NOVICE STAKES (CLASS 5) (PLUS 10 RACE) Permission was given for NEW QUEEN to be ponied early to post, and be mounted in the chute.
Upon leaving the stalls, NEW QUEEN, drawn 7, ducked quickly right-handed taking I AM MAGICAL, drawn 6, off its intended line which caused knock on interference to WINTER GLEAM (IRE), drawn 5, and TATSIA, drawn 4. After viewing a recording of the incident, it was found that no riding offence was involved.
Following the race, Callum Shepherd reported that NEW QUEEN, unplaced, jumped awkwardly from the stalls. View Stewards report Newton Abbot, 15 Aug 18 Race 1 - 1:50pm THE ARCHIVE PLAYLISTS AVAILABLE ON attheraces.com MAIDEN HURDLE RACE (CLASS 4) Following the race, Brendan Powell reported that AMERICAN HISTORY (USA), which started favourite and finished fourth, slipped on the bend entering the home straight. Gavin Sheehan reported that D'GENTLE REFLEXION (FR), unplaced, changed its legs on a number of occasions throughout the race so he felt it prudent to ease the gelding in the closing stages. The Veterinary Officer reported that a post-race examination of D'GENTLE REFLEXION (FR) failed to reveal any abnormalities other than that the gelding had lost its left hind shoe.
Race 2 - 2:20pm THE DOWNLOAD THE FREE AT THE RACES APP JUVENILE HURDLE RACE (CLASS 3) Following the race, David Noonan reported that he lost his irons after RED MIRACLE, placed fourth, made a bad mistake jumping the first hurdle and the Veterinary Officer reported that the filly lost its left fore shoe. The Veterinary Officer further reported that MOUCHEE (IRE), placed fifth, lost its right fore shoe.
Race 3 - 2:50pm THE SP2A SUPPORTING THE BRIXHAM BATTERY HANDICAP HURDLE RACE (CLASS 3) Following the race, Jo Davis reported that STAR FOOT (IRE), placed fourth, had a breathing problem.
Race 4 - 3:20pm THE RACEGOERS CLUB 50TH ANNIVERSARY NOVICES' STEEPLE CHASE (CLASS 3) An enquiry was held into the running and riding of DRY OL'PARTY, placed third, ridden by David Noonan, RUBY RUSSET, placed fourth, ridden by Paddy Brennan, and QUESTIONATION (IRE), placed fifth, ridden by Nick Scholfield, which were all ridden detached from the leading group and only asked for an effort on the final circuit. The riders were interviewed and shown recordings of the race. Noonan stated that his instructions had been to take his time as DRY OL'PARTY was having her first run over fences and he was unable to lay up with the leaders in the early stages. Brennan stated that his instructions had been to try to be handy from the start; however, having jumped the first fence poorly he was also unable to go with the leading trio. He added that having become detached soon after the start, he felt it prudent to ensure RUBY RUSSET completed safely on her debut over fences. Scholfield stated that his instructions had been to hold QUESTIONATION (IRE) up as the mare had not been finishing her races and having found himself detached early in the race, he felt it prudent to race against those around him rather than attempt to bridge the significant gap on QUESTIONATION (IRE) who was also having her first run over fences. All riders added that their horses were rated at least 39 lbs behind EXXARO (IRE), placed second, and 54 lbs behind the winner, BEAT THAT (IRE), and in their opinion they had achieved their best possible placing. Having heard their evidence, the Stewards noted their explanations.
Race 5 - 3:50pm THE RACING PARTNERSHIP TRP HANDICAP HURDLE RACE (CLASS 4) Following the race, Harry Reed reported that the saddle slipped on CHANTECLER, placed second and Sean Houlihan reported that the saddle slipped on IL SICARIO (IRE), placed seventh, after jumping the penultimate hurdle. The Veterinary Officer reported that GAUCHO, placed fifth, lost its right fore shoe and ZAMALIGHT, which was pulled up, had bled from the nose.

Race 7 - 4:50pm THE ACTUATE MARKETING MARES' INTERMEDIATE OPEN NATIONAL HUNT FLAT RACE (CLASS 5) (NHMOPS Bonus Race) Following the race, David Noonan reported that DANCING GREY, unplaced, hung badly right-handed on the bend past the winning post on the first circuit. View Stewards report Salisbury, 15 Aug 18 Race 1 - 2:10pm THE BRITISH EBF MOLSON COORS NOVICE STAKES (CLASS 4) (PLUS 10 RACE) An enquiry was held to consider why Clive Cox was running FLASH OF POWER here at Salisbury on going described as good, good to firm in places, having declared the colt a non-runner at Chepstow on 8 August 2018 on ground with the same official description. The trainer stated that, in his opinion, the ground at Chepstow was much quicker than described.
Race 2 - 2:40pm THE S H JONES WINES HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 4) Permission was given for SIGNORE PICCOLO to go early to post.
Following the race the Veterinary Officer reported that LOOK SURPRISED, placed third, lost its left fore shoe.
Race 4 - 3:40pm THE BRITISH STALLION STUDS EBF UPAVON FILLIES' STAKES (CLASS 1) (Listed Race) The winner, CHAIN OF DAISIES, appeared to show improved form compared with its previous run at Ascot on 19 June 2018 where the mare finished tenth of sixteen, beaten 7 ¼ lengths. Henry Candy’s explanation that the yard has returned to form, was noted. CHAIN OF DAISIES was routine tested.
Race 5 - 4:10pm THE CHAMPAGNE JOSEPH PERRIER CONFINED HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 5) (For horses that have not won a Flat race this year) Following the race David Elsworth’s representative reported that POLAR LIGHT, placed seventh, was unsuited by the good, good to firm in places, ground and would prefer a slower surface.
Race 6 - 4:40pm THE SHADWELL STUD RACING EXCELLENCE APPRENTICE HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 5) (Whips Shall Be Carried But Not Used) An enquiry was held to consider interference inside the first furlong when BOMBSHELL BAY, unplaced, ridden by Mark Crehan, manoeuvred right-handed causing WICKED SEA (IRE), placed fourth, ridden by Seamus Cronin, to have to be heavily eased, which in turn interfered with SUMMERSEAT MIST (IRE), placed eighth, ridden by Kieran Schofield, who in turn interfered with FACE LIKE THUNDER, placed fifth, ridden by William Carver, on the rail.

Mark Crehan, the rider of BOMBSHELL BAY, unplaced, had appeared to use his whip contrary to the Conditions of the race.

Ger Lyons and Khalid Abdullah have already teamed up to good effect this season and they reconvene with First Response, who was pitched in at the deep end behind hardy campaigners Threeandfourpence and Theobald on his first racecourse outing at Naas last month.
He was only beaten four lengths that day, despite conceding plenty of experience to the first two and, although the wide draw makes life tougher, the First Defence gelding can show the benefit of that run in the concluding 1m1½f maiden at the Irish track.

BANKER
Praeceps (5.10 Salisbury)
This is a very good race for the grade with three real improvers in a four-strong field and, even though Supernova and Winds Of Fire are an unexposed duo who hold solid claims on their form this year, it could pay to stick with Sir Mark Prescott's Praeceps. The son of Canford Cliffs took plenty of time to come into himself over longer trips this year – unlike the majority of the shrewd trainer's three-year-olds – but he kickstarted his good run of form over this course-and-distance in July and hasn't looked back. He was unlucky to run into a horse completing a five-timer at Nottingham on his penultimate start, but he won with plenty in hand last time out and is technically 2lb well in today.
2/1 Praeceps 5:10 Salisbury EYECATCHER
B Fifty Two (3.30 Beverley)
Marjorie Fife's nine-year-old lost his way since winning at Pontefract in April with form figures of 553940800 to his name in his subsequent runs, but he bounced back under a welter burden of 10st 12lb at Carlisle last time out when only narrowly beaten and is allowed to race off the same mark here. The return to form coincided with a drop down to the minimum trip, which he's kept at today, and the son of Dark Angel, who was once rated in the low 100s, should go close from a good draw.
9/2 B Fifty Two 3:30 Beverley

John Gosden has an outstanding record with two-year-old debutants at Yarmouth (5-13). The trainer won this race last year and the well-bred Private Secretary (5.20) shouldn’t be opposed.
It’s worth taking note when Archie Watson enlists a hood as he is 3-7 when applying the aid for the first time. Show Of Strength (1.50 Wolverhampton) is related to plenty of juvenile winners and has a nice berth in stall four.
Dorella (8.15 Chepstow) ran is if she needed the outing at Sandown three weeks ago and Charlie Bishop, who has a 35 per cent strike rate for Eve Johnson-Houghton at the course, makes the journey from Salisbury for the ride.
