5.45 William Hill Bet Boost Racing League Race Thirty-Six (Handicap)

TRINITY GIRL, a dual course and distance winner, was conceding Wynter Wildes 11lb when narrowly beaten here last month and will be 8lb better off with her rider's claim taken into account. Scampi and Sarsons Risk arrive on hat-tricks with the former having beaten Wynter Wildes just under a length at Doncaster when conceding a stone. Collateral form just points to the selection though Sarsons Risk is improving fast and is just 4lb higher than his victory over the trip at Newmarket. He also holds True Courage on an earlier run at Leicester. Frankie was on board when Postmark won one of these races at Lingfield and also when a close third over 1m2f here though his mount has yet to prove he stays this far.

6.15 William Hill Play Responsibly Racing League Race Thirty-Seven (Handicap)

Tregony has found top form, landing one of these at Lingfield and completing a double over this track and trip where she had GEREMIA just under a length in second and the front-running Jean Baptiste close behind in fourth. Jim Goldie's charge will be 3lb worse off but was slowly away and found trouble in-running so can reverse the form and take this. Fearless Bay has gone up just 3lb for scoring over the track and trip though that was a Class 5 handicap and this is much tougher. Eeetee has been raised 8lb for an impressive victory at York and arrives with a 5lb penalty. He was narrowly beaten on his only all-weather start in France and looks a major threat.

6.45 William Hill Build Your Odds Racing League Race Thirty-Eight (Handicap)

Bringitonboris has gained all of his four victories on artificial surfaces on this track and was only just over a length behind Menai Bridge over track and trip three weeks ago. The winner will be 4lb worse off so there should be little in it again. Runner-up GALIAC is closely matched with the pair of them but looked like winning when leading 1f out and his rider may hang on to him a bit longer this time. Sip And Smile won the first two races of his career over 6f here and hasn't been back subsequently. He scored over 7f at Doncaster in May but hasn't really proved he stays this far. Don't Tell Claire has gradually improved this summer and ran a cracking race in a Class 2 handicap at Ascot last time, a race she won last season.

7.15 William Hill Best Odds Guaranteed Racing League Race Thirty-Nine (Handicap)

Desert Land is unbeaten in two starts around here but takes on stronger company. Out From Under made all to land a Kempton handicap in convincing style but is up 6lb and was ridden by a 5lb claimer so faces a much tougher task. FRESH HOPE (NAP) won at Doncaster in May then ran a fine race at Royal Ascot before scoring again at Leicester. She didn't get the clearest of runs back on Town Moor next time before scoring with a bit in hand here three weeks ago and has only been raised 3lb. Street Kid was in top form on Tapeta at Wolverhampton last autumn and didn't reappear until last month when beaten a head in one of these races at Lingfield so has to be on the shortlist.

7.45 William Hill Extra Place Races Racing League Race Forty (Nursery)

Not many without chances in this nursery and last week's Carlisle winner Cotai Pearl makes her debut on the surface with a penalty. Yacowlef has performed well in strong maidens at Goodwood and York and makes his handicap debut while Glorious Angel will be having her first all-weather start and may be a bit high in the weights. Magical Merlin is another racing on an artificial surface for the first time and it was soft ground when he landed a novices' race at Windsor. Lingfield winner Kitbag appeared to be undone by fast ground at Haydock while Ignac Lamar is 7lb higher than when scoring at Wolverhampton. GEMCUTTER completed a double then finished just behind Michaela's Boy when they were placed over the minimum at Windsor a couple of weeks ago but was staying on the better of the pair and is taken to return to winning ways.

8.15 William Hill Lengthen Your Odds Racing League Race Forty-One (Handicap)

Strike Red is a dual winner at this level around here and has been racing at a higher grade all summer. Badri scored at Southwell in the summer and was 7lb higher when gaining a convincing victory here three weeks ago for which he's up another 8lb. LIR SPECIALE landed a Doncaster maiden in April and was returning from a break after undergoing wind surgery when justifying strong support at Windsor. There's more to come and he can complete a double though there are numerous dangers including Tommy de Vito, a winner on the surface who bounced back to form at Windsor.

8.45 William Hill Pick Your Places Racing League Race Forty-Two (Handicap)

A high draw is a bonus here so The Bell Conductor, who ended last year completing a double at Southwell, has it all to do on his return to action from stall 1. MANY A STAR is well positioned in 13 and though all of his four career victories have been on Turf over 6f he shows good pace throughout and dropping to the minimum shouldn't be a problem. Show Me Show Me is also well berthed and had been going well on Turf before battling to a short-head success here three weeks ago. He's up 3lb but should get into contention along with Faustus, who was only a head behind. Irish raider Elanora carried a huge weight when runner-up on the beach at Laytown.
