‘To win’ is for your horse to come first.
‘Each-way’ is for your horse to come first or to be placed. It’s two bets, so ‘£2 each-way’ = £4 total bet.
How the experts rate the horse’s chances:
2. BHA rating = the higher the number, the better the horse.
3. Timeform view and TFR rating
Look out for the summary of leading course trainers before each race

NEWMONARCH progressed with each run last season and everything about him physically suggests he’ll be even better at 3 yrs, so he’s difficult to oppose. Spirit ofSaxony caught the eye finishing with a flourish on his debut at Salisbury and is open to plenty of improvement over this extra 1f, while El Nay also enters the reckoning after making an encouraging start to his career at Lingfield recently

HARDSTYLE decisively made it 3 wins in handicaps since the turn of the year at Wolverhampton 2 weeks ago and a 6lb rise may not be enough to prevent George Boughey’s charge going in again. Kilkenny Warrior ended her 2-y-o campaign on the up and is feared, as is Lion of Mali and Acclaimed Freedom.

SERENITY DREAM has a good course record and was beaten only by a thriving rival over C&D 3 weeks ago, so makes most appeal ahead of Em Four, who has edged back down the weights and has the benefit of Saffie Osborne back in the saddle. Invincible Speed was a couple ofplaces behind the selection last time and can give a good account again.

Things didn’t pan out ideally for SERAPHIC at Southwell last time and he was a good second there off this mark prior to that. Tetsworth was clear of the rest when runner-up at Chelmsford on his first Flat start forthe Moore stable and is feared most ahead of Billy Loughnane’s mount Imperial Decision, a close second on his Lingfield handicap debut.

KING’S HAND gets the nod to make it second time lucky for new trainer Joseph Parr, with confidence in his chance increased should his Lingfield conqueror Sea Founder run well in the 7.00 The slight step back up in trip should suit Seventywho can confirm recent Lingfield superiority over Muy Muy Loco and fill the forecast spot.
