17:35 Big Stage Hire Amateur Jockeys' Handicap Stakes
We named the winnerClass 6 · 1m6f0y · Firm · 4 ran
We passed. Likely winner: Belle Of Kt (5/4)
Won by: Belle Of Kt (GB) at 2/1
What we said: four-runner amateur handicap where the favourite Belle Of Kt has won twice and been placed in every start this year, and nothing here shapes up as a price worth opposing her at. Bumaan is in solid recent form with a string of top-two finishes but is fairly rated against the favourite, while Sea Of Charm's big weight and cold yard make her hard to trust off a break. With only four runners and a clear form favourite already respected by the market, there's no mispriced runner to build a case around.

Not a bet. The horse we made most likely: Texas Crown (9/2)
Won by: Havana Gift (GB) at 2/1F · then Texas Crown (GB)
What we said: Doubly bred for this fast ground with Mayson on top and Acclamation as damsire, and his solitary form line reads better than the bare "0-2" suggests, a promising second-up effort last time before an OR mark was even needed. The 3lb claim and a going/pedigree match that few in this field can boast make him worth chancing at a bigger price than his stable-mates.

We named the winnerClass 5 · 0m5f160y · Firm · 6 ran
We passed. Likely winner: Honky Tonk Girl (6/5)
Won by: Honky Tonk Girl (GB) at 5/6F · then Kodicall (IRE)
What we said: Honky Tonk Girl is a clear form and going fit at odds-on and looks the most likely winner, but that leaves no realistic value case against her; the rest of the field (Kodicall with only one start, Elmfield fresh off a step forward, Nzuri wildly inconsistent with first-time cheekpieces) are all guesswork plays rather than horses I can back with conviction at their prices.
19:48 Thank You To Great Western Air Ambulance Handicap Stakes
Did not winClass 6 · 0m5f160y · Firm · 5 ran
We passed. Likely winner: Candy Warhol (13/8)
Won by: Nordic Glory (IRE) at 9/2 · then Beerwah (IRE)
What we said: Five-runner Class 6 sprint handicap where the top two in the market, Candy Warhol and Connie's Rose, both look fairly assessed on recent form (245-244 sequences for Connie's Rose, 247442 for Candy Warhol) with no standout conditions edge separating them, while the steamer Nordic Glory and the biggest-priced runner Payforanother Daay both carry bookie-above-exchange flags that have historically lost money. Connie's Rose also concedes lumps of weight off top-weight, adding uncertainty rather than clarity to the handicap picture.

We named the winnerClass 6 · 1m2f37y · Firm · 6 ran
Not a bet. The horse we made most likely: Blue Hero (7/4)
Won by: Blue Hero (CAN) at 9/4F · then Offiah's Boy (GB)
What we said: Top weight is doing so on the back of solid, consistent form (8-4812) and a proven course record, and he's clearly the class benchmark in a weak Class 6 field despite conceding weight around; I make him a genuine 40%+ chance at 7/4, which stacks up well against a field where the second favourite is a 338-day absentee. He's fit, ran recently (16 days), and this looks his race to lose against modest rivals.
