14:20 Virgin 512 Amateur Jockeys' Handicap Stakes
Did not winClass 6 · 1m2f · Standard · 10 ran
Our bet: Divot (15/8)
Won by: Alazwar (IRE) at 6/1 · then Little She (FR), Kurios Lady (GB)
What we said: Two wins in the last two starts before a solid third in a stronger race at 11.5f, and today's cut back to 10f on standard ground plays right into that recent scoring form; the yard's course figures back up a runner clearly on the up. William Knight's stable is in form and the drop in trip looks the key to today.
14:50 Novice Stakes (GBB Race)
We named the winnerClass 4 · 6f1y · Standard · 4 ran
Not a bet. The horse we made most likely: Storm Force (1/2)
Won by: Storm Force (IRE) at 4/9F
What we said: Won last time out over this exact course, trip and going just 16 days ago, and today repeats those identical conditions with the same rider up. The form gap to this small field is stark — Blazing Gaden was beaten a long way last time and Gold Star Gazing/Frantic are both returning from lengthy breaks with modest recent form.
15:20 Daly Accounting Restricted Maiden Fillies' Stakes (For Horses In Bands C And D) (GBB Race)
Did not winClass 4 · 7f1y · Standard · 7 ran
Not a bet. The horse we made most likely: Reader (4/5)
Won by: Nothing But Love (GB) at 13/8 · then Dusk Damsel (GB)
What we said: Consistent form figures (28-33) show she's rarely out of the frame, stepping back to 7f suits after finishing third of three at the trip on good ground last time, and the first-time cheekpieces plus Rob Hornby up could sharpen her for this drop in class. Marcus Tregoning's course record (16%, a/e 0.95) adds a touch of confidence in the placement.

We passed. Likely winner: Elvetham (6/4)
Won by: Elvetham (IRE) at 5/4F · then Mart (GB)
What we said: Elvetham holds the best form on paper with a win two starts back and a solid course record, but the 10/12 last time out is a real blemish and the market already prices him tight enough that there's no room for me at 6/4; Dontspoilasale carries the topweight into a run of 467667 with no course form to back it up, and No Return's steamer only brings him back to a price that reflects a moderate recent record — three plausible types, none of them clearing the bar.
16:20 Handicap Stakes
Did not winClass 5 · 1m5f · Standard · 5 ran
We passed. Likely winner: La Peregrina (13/8)
Won by: Hope Rising (IRE) at 11/4 · then Percy Jones (GB)
What we said: Hope Rising's 4111 sequence looks the strongest form in the race but her only two runs on today's standard going read 7-0, while La Peregrina's recent 550221 upturn comes with just a single run at this trip and only two runs on this going (5-5), so neither market leader clears the going question cleanly enough to separate them.
16:55 Mo's Mile Handicap Stakes
PlacedClass 6 · 1m1y · Standard · 5 ran
Not a bet. The horse we made most likely: Musical Soldier (8/11)
Won by: Laughterintherain (FR) at 2/1 · then Musical Soldier (IRE)
What we said: Three wins on the spin (022111) including a course-and-distance success just seven days ago, and today's step to 1m1f is territory he's already proven over at this track. He carries the fastest recorded early pace figure in the field alongside Ahead Of Fashion, giving him control of the race in a small five-runner line-up, and the ground and course are unchanged from his last win.

PlacedClass 6 · 6f1y · Standard · 8 ran
Our bet: Far Too Fizzy (9/4)
Won by: Horace Wallace (GB) at 9/4 · then Lahina Bay (IRE), Far Too Fizzy (GB)
What we said: Consistently in the frame at this course and trip, with last time's 2/8 coming over the exact same course, distance and ground as today, and a trainer/jockey combo that clicks together 11% of the time at a solid strike. The repeat conditions play to a proven course specialist (14% at the track with a/e 1.01), and the form line (735402) shows no deterioration, just been knocking on the door.
17:55 Rapido Racing LTD Conditions Arab Stakes
We named the winner1m · 5 ran
We passed. Likely winner: Rb Yas Sir (1/2)
Won by: Rb Yas Sir (A) at 2/5F
What we said: Rb Yas Sir sits at a short price that already reflects his solid recent form (a win and a second in his last two starts), and nothing here — a cold Collington yard (0-2) and a 67-day layoff — adds anything fresh to that case; the rest of the field, from Jeewan's 15% fair chance down to Zayin Zikario's 4%, is too thin to build a bet around either.
