Queen Anne Stakes (Group 1) (British Champions Series) (Str)

Charyn

Docklands

Maljoom

CHARYN is still improving, the only one to get anywhere near the well-positioned Audience in the Lockinge, and he's fancied to turn the tables on that one with this stiffer track in his favour. He's taken to land an open renewal of the Queen Anne. QEII winner Big Rock and Facteur Cheval represent a strong French challenge, while one to consider at bigger odds is 2023 Britannia winner Docklands, who is building up a very good record over C&D.

Coventry Stakes (Group 2)

Sky Bet paying 6 places instead of 3

SKY BET EXTRA PLACE RACE

Rashabar

Electrolyte

Columnist

This is potentially more wide open than the market suggests so it could be worth chancing expensive Breeze-Up purchase CATALYSE, who created an excellent impression when justifying market confidence at Hamilton. Cowardofthecounty comfortably beat current Norfolk Stakes favourite Whistlejacket in a maiden at the Curragh on debut so must be respected, while there was little between Camille Pissarro and Midnight Strike when placed in the Marble Hill, a race that is often a good trial for this.

King Charles III Stakes (Group 1) (British Champions Series)

Asfoora

Regional

Big Evs

The first running of this Group 1 since being renamed the King Charles III Stakes can go to BIG EVS, who showed he's trained on well when comfortably giving weight away on his York reappearance and can prove too strong for the older brigade, headed by last year's Sprint Cup winner Regional. Third choice is very classy Australian sprinter Asfoora, who should be all the sharper for her run behind Kerdos (who should also go well) in the Temple at Haydock last month. 

St James's Palace Stakes (Group 1) (British Champions Series) (Rnd)

Rosallion

Henry Longfellow

Metropolitan

NOTABLE SPEECH looks to have all the attributes of a top-class miler, possessing both a high cruising speed and a sharp turn of foot, and can confirm his Newmarket 2000 Guineas superiority over Rosallion, who has gone on to win the Irish version. Almaqam was good in the Heron Stakes at Sandown and may prove best of the rest. 

Ascot Stakes (Heritage Handicap)

Sky Bet paying 7 places instead of 4

SKY BET EXTRA PLACE RACE 

Pledgeofallegiance

Divine Comedy

Kyle Of Lochalsh

Get Shirty

This extreme stamina test could be just the ticket for ZANNDABAD, who shaped like the best horse at the weights when an eye-catching third in the Chester Cup and he could be the answer with William Buick aboard. Pied Piper is taken to improve on his sixth-placed finish in this race a couple of years ago and is feared most ahead of last year's third, Tritonic, while the unexposed My Lyka has to be of interest for the Mullins-Moore combination and Berkshire Rocco has each-way claims.

Wolferton Stakes (Listed)

Sky Bet paying 4 places instead of 3

Israr

Haunted Dream

Torito

TORITO looked to finish with something in the tank when a promising third on his return at Newmarket last month and this lightly raced 4-y-o makes plenty of appeal here. Botanical looks more than ready for the step up to pattern company after his decisive York victory and is feared most, whilst Astro King and Haunted Dream are likeable performers who should go well at bigger odds. 

Copper Horse Handicap

Sky Bet paying 6 places instead of 4

Belloccio

Lmay

My Mate Mozzie

Alsakib

BELLOCCIO needs to prove his effectiveness on ground faster than good but he comes here operating from a very appealing mark and, having run out a most impressive winner on his yard/hurdles debut at Punchestown in May, he could be worth chancing with his top NH stable having landed this prize 12 months ago. A Piece of Heaven, an easy winner at Leopardstown, is feared on debut for Joseph O'Brien. Fox Journey, Naqeeb and Party Central complete the shortlist.

Catterick

AJA Novice Flat Amateur Jockeys' Handicap

The Dancing Poet

Natchez Trace

Made For You

NATCHEZ TRACE performed with credit off a 2 lb higher mark than this in a more competitive handicap at Haydock last month, and also acquitted himself well over hurdles recently. The 7-y-o could be the answer to this open-looking handicap, with Polar Princess and Rayena likely to emerge as the main dangers.

Happy Birthday And Retirement Kim Walker EBF Restricted Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

Educating Rita

Kitten In The Sky

Desdemona

EDUCATING RITA made a very encouraging start to her career when just touched off by Jm Jhingree, who had the benefit of experience, at Redcar last month. She enjoys a healthy pull at the weights with that rival here and is taken to go one better this time. Jm Jhingree wasn't disgraced in a fairly valuable event at Beverley last time but he looks vulnerable all the same. Desdemona and Horus can both be expected to build on their debut efforts and may emerge as the main dangers.

High Opinion

Birkenhead

Mereside Angel

It could be worth chancing REFUGE, who took a step back in the right direction at Ripon and he is lurking on a seriously tempting mark. Birkenhead has to be feared on the back of a decisive C&D success, while Object also did the job well here on his penultimate start and will be a threat if reproducing that level of form. Lady Of The Garr could also have a say if able to build on her improved recent C&D second.

5th Regiment Royal Artillery Handicap

Animate

Highjacked

Labalaba

LABALABA found improvement when runner-up at Lingfield earlier this month and remains low mileage, He can get back on the scoreboard. May Blossom and Crypto Quest should also go well.

Sea The Dream

Mister Sox

Woodstock

Preference is for SEA THE DREAM, who got back on track at York last month and remains fairly treated. Bowman and Mister Sox are feared most. 

Free Racing TV At racingtv.com/freetrial Handicap

Infinite Honour

Little Venice

HONRADO still has few miles on the clock and had no issue with the step up to this longer trip at Lingfield last month. He gets the nod. Infinite Honour and Made In China look the likeliest dangers. 

Stratford

Racing To School Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle

Cawthorne Cracker

Evenwood Sonofagun

Magistrato

LOST IN THE MIST has a bigger performance in him and gets the vote. Bridge Road and Magistrato are a couple of others to consider.

Juan Bermudez

Jazz King

Flighttothestars

JUAN BERMUDEZ was only workmanlike in making the most of a good opportunity over C&D 17 days ago, but is still relatively unexposed as a hurdler and gets the nod to follow up under a penalty. Pleasant Man is feared msot ahead of Jazz King, who showed some ability remains back in this sphere at Bangor last month.

Go Go Chicago

Pacific

Golden Moonshake

SIX AND OUT ran to a fair level when opening his account over C&D 17 days ago and a reproduction of that form could well be enough to see him defy a penalty in a decidedly ordinary race. Pacific has shown promise on both her starts over hurdles and could have a say, while newcomer Go Go Chicago requires a market check. 

Injured Jockeys Fund 60th Anniversary Novices' Handicap Chase

Theonlywayiswessex

Invincible Wish

Clean Getaway

If CLEAN GETAWAY is in the same form as when winning easily on his Market Rasen chase debut a 10 lb rise doesn't look enough to stop him going in again. Last month's C&D winner Dusky Days and the consistent Ferrybridge can give him most to think about. 

Family Day On The 14th July Handicap Hurdle

Donnie Azoff

Takeit Easy

King Otis

ILANZ probably would've made a winning start for this yard granted a better jump at the last at Plumpton and, with this drop back in trip unlikely to be an issue, he gets the nod. The vote is only a marginal one, though, as King Otis and Get Sky High are strong, in-form candidates and Takeit Easy also enters calculations.

Happy Birthday Mary Handicap Chase

Bbold

Do No Wrong

Storm Control

DO NO WRONG added to his fine record over fences when scoring at Southwell earlier this month and remains feasibly treated. He can go in again. Bbold and Bagheera Ginge rate the principal dangers. 

21st July Is Ladies Day Novices' Limited Handicap Hurdle (Div 1)

Come On Nia

Sanitiser

Ned Cash

SANITISER has been shaping up well in handicaps in recent months and shades the vote to open his account in this sphere with cheekpieces refitted. Last-time-out winner Come On Nia and Ocean Heights are a couple of others to consider in an open-looking handicap.

21st July Is Ladies Day Novices' Limited Handicap Hurdle (Div 2)

Climate Precedent

Lookingdandy

Ryder's Rock

CLIMATE PRECEDENT lost his way for James Owen but starts life off a potentially decent mark for Dan Skelton as a result. Lookingdandy arrives in good form off the Flat so it will be interesting to see what he can do over hurdles this time for his current yard. City Roller is best of the others. 

Beverley

EBF Restricted Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

Pap's Turf

Footwork

PAP'S TURF offered something to work on behind a Royal Ascot candidate at Ayr and this extra furlong will suit, so he can put his experience to good use. Market support for one of the newcomers would look significant, however, with Sundown Kid and Footwork both likely types. 

Connexin Fibre 1500 Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)

Coppull Hall Lane

Phoenix Of Dreams

Rogue State

COPPULL HALL LANE made a promising start to her career when runner-up in a maiden at Redcar (first 3 pulled clear) and this looks a good opening. Voyeur can improve again and rates the main threat.

Beverley Annual Badgeholders Handicap

Sunny Orange

Emu War

Gidwa

SUNNY ORANGE has yet to score since his debut but he went close off a career-low mark at Catterick 10 days ago and his turn doesn't look far away. Gidwa responded well to a tongue strap when just denied at Wolverhampton and it's still early days with this yard, while Port And Starburd was a good third over C&D last time and she remains unexposed. 

Baker McVeigh And Abbott Yorkshire Handicap

Distinction

Wait And Hope

SUMMIT could kick on now she's got her head in front and is taken to follow up her Redcar success. Poet's Dawn, Puella Law and Running Star are considered also in a wide-open handicap.

Connexin Hyperfast Fibre Handicap

Makalu

Star Of St James

Little Ted

MAKALU wasn't seen to best effect at Ripon and is probably still in good form so could be the way to go. Last year's winner Josiebond and Star of St James are a couple of the other likely contenders.

Connexin Broadband For The Brave Handicap

Freddy Robinson

Regency Boy

Three Platoon

FREDDY ROBINSON is shaping up well and gets the vote. Caramay made a successful return at Windsor and should be involved again. Regency Boy is also a player.

Brighton

Download The Raceday Ready App Handicap

Wrestling Revenue

THE DEFIANT's recent form figures don't inspire confidence but he takes an appreciable drop in grade here and could be worth chancing to bounce back from his easing mark returned to the minimum trip. Wrestling Revenue and Say You'll Never, who finished 1-2 over C&D in May, are others to consider.

Get Raceday Ready EBF Restricted Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)

Miss Nifty

Alashos

GOLD MEDALLIST disappointed on his latest outing at Newmarket 32 days ago but he'd previously showed plenty when runner-up on debut at Goodwood and, having been gelded subsequently, he's given the vote to quickly get back on track. Breakout Star and Premium Pass both rate likely improvers from their respective debut efforts and can also figure.

King Of Scotia

Ceilidh

Oh So Audacious

LOCAL BAY comes here thriving, landing back-to-back Bath handicaps with a good bit to spare in recent weeks and he can complete the hat-trick. Recent C&D winner Oh So Audacious and Uncle Dick are others to consider, with Poetic Force another from the Tony Carroll stable worth keeping an eye on down in grade.

Corporate Raider

Robert Walpole

CLOUDY ROSE can enhance her good C&D record and take this race for the second year in succession. If Fascinating Lips can recapture the form he showed at Windsor on his penultimate start he may give John Berry's mare most to think about ahead of The Conqueror. 

Get The Inside Track With Raceday Ready Handicap

Havana Mojito

Viridian

Tres Chic

MOREGINPLEASE was back to form with a bang at Lingfield last month and retains handicapping scope after a 5 lb rise. Tres Chic goes unpenalised for Sunday's Salisbury success and will be a big threat if handling 2 outings in such quick succession. The shortlist is completed by Viridian, who is one of the William Haggas lesser lights but he offered a bit more at Redcar last time. 

Tips For Every Race At raceday-ready.com Handicap

Electric Avenue

Adace

Fayasel

Several with chances in this finale but it might be worth taking a chance on the unexposed ELECTRIC AVENUE, who caught the eye in a couple of her qualifying runs and wasn't seen to best effect when fourth on her Kempton handicap debut. C&D specialist Heer's Sadie heads the dangers along with Big Bard.
