18:15 – Sequoia Hair & Beauty Group Handicap
Race Details: 1m 2f | Class 5 | Going: 6.2) (watering) (rail movements (Good to firm, good in places (goingstick) | | flat
This is a pretty interesting Class 5 despite the grade, with the 3yos looking to have a definite edge receiving weight from older handicappers who have shown their hand a bit more. Fanciulla Del West sets the standard on recent form after back-to-back runner-up efforts and her Topspeed figure is the best on offer, while Rossa Raheen is an obvious danger now settling into handicaps. Ablon arrives off a win and is respected from stall 1, but that success came in a smaller field and this is a deeper contest. Madjid is better than his latest run, and Home Hero is another lightly raced 3yo with enough ability to get involved. Competitive, but not impossible: the younger legs may well decide it.
Top Selections
1. Fanciulla Del West – 7/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Kieran Shoemark | Trainer: Ed Walker | Form: 43-22 | Rating: 82 | Topspeed: 74
She looks the percentage call. Fanciulla Del West has done little wrong in four starts, and those two runner-up efforts this season suggest a handicap like this is well within reach. The key thing for me is that she brings the best Topspeed figure in the field and she is already operating to a level that should make her very hard to beat in a race of this nature. Ed Walker’s filly is still unexposed at 1m2f, gets in here with just 8st, and Kieran Shoemark is a positive booking for a horse who should travel strongly on this ground. At 7/2, she is hardly hiding, but she still makes plenty of appeal.
Bet: WIN
2. Home Hero – 10/1 with Bet365
Jockey: David Probert | Trainer: Hugo Palmer | Form: 644-38 | Rating: 72 | Topspeed: 64
For an each-way punt, Home Hero makes more appeal than a few shorter in the betting. He is still finding his level, but there was enough in his seasonal return when third to think he could be competitive from this mark, and his latest eighth is easy enough to forgive if the race didn’t quite pan out. The 64 Topspeed figure says he has a bit more ability than his bare record suggests, and this 3yo gets a handy racing weight in a race where that could matter late on. David Probert is the sort to get one settled and delivered late, and 10/1 looks fair for a horse with upside.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple: Fanciulla Del West is the win play, as she brings the strongest recent profile and looks ready to get her head in front. Home Hero is the each-way alternative at a double-figure price in an 11-runner field. Rossa Raheen is the obvious danger, while Ablon also commands respect after his latest success.

18:50 – Gracelands EBF Fillies’ Novice Stakes (GBB/IRE Incentive Race)
Race Details: 6f | Class 4 | Going: 6.2) (watering) (rail movements (Good to firm, good in places (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a lively fillies’ novice rather than a penalty kick, even if Topaz brings the standout published form. Her rating of 89 and Topspeed of 87 put her clear on what has been achieved so far, and the inside draw is no bad thing over this sharp 6f. Still, she is short enough in a 14-runner juvenile race packed with unknown quantities. Royal Message and Avalon Queen have both shown useful ability, while Fillipas shaped with promise when second and could easily step forward. The real puzzle comes from the unraced brigade, with yards like Beckett, Cox, Hannon and Meehan all capable of readying one first time. Strong race for the grade, but not one to take a cramped price lightly.
Top Selections
1. Topaz – 7/4 with Betfair
Jockey: Tom Marquand | Trainer: Jack Channon | Form: 20 | Rating: 89 | Topspeed: 87
She sets the standard and, frankly, the rest have to improve plenty to get past those figures. That second-place effort followed by a lesser run is a slightly untidy profile on paper, but an 89 rating in this company is a serious piece of evidence and the Topspeed mark of 87 towers over the field. Tom Marquand is exactly the sort you want on a sharp 2yo at Newbury, and stall 1 should allow her to travel where it matters. At 7/4 she is no giveaway in a race full of unexposed fillies, but she is still the one with the most solid win credentials. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Fillipas – 14/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Lewis Edmunds | Trainer: Rod Millman | Form: 2 | Rating: 79 | Topspeed: 22
For an each-way play, Fillipas makes plenty of appeal at double-figure odds. She has at least shown she can be competitive in this sphere, and a debut second often reads well in these summer novice races where experience counts for plenty. The Topspeed figure is modest, so she does need to find more, but that is hardly unusual after just one run and Rod Millman’s juveniles can sharpen up quickly from first to second start. In a race where several of the market principals are either short or unraced, 14/1 looks a fair price for a filly with a bit of proven ability and obvious scope to progress. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Topaz is the win play because her existing form leaves her with the clearest chance on paper. For a bit of value, Fillipas is the each-way punt in a race where experience could count for plenty. The obvious dangers are Royal Message, who should step forward from her debut fifth, and the unraced Marsala from the Beckett yard.

19:25 – Fidelity Energy Green Future Novice Stakes (Colts & Geldings) (IRE Incentive Race)
Race Details: 6f | Class 4 | Going: 6.2) (watering) (rail movements (Good to firm, good in places (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a useful enough 2yo novice for the grade, even if the market is doing plenty of the heavy lifting around the exposed pair. Alaskan Bear sets the standard on what we know after finishing second and then fourth, and his figures are comfortably the best on offer, while Jimtrott also brings solid experience after a runner-up effort. Tumishi showed enough in fourth to suggest there is more to come, and that makes him interesting now stepping forward from debut. The puzzle, as ever in these summer juvenile races at Newbury, is how much ability sits among the unexposed newcomers such as Pride Of Toledo and Shakwaa. Still, proven six-furlong form on quick ground usually counts for plenty here, so I’d rather side with the colts who have already shown their hand.
Top Selections
1. Alaskan Bear – 6/4 with Betfair
Jockey: Hector Crouch | Trainer: Jack W Davison | Form: 24 | Rating: 103 | Topspeed: 93
He is the obvious one, but not an easy one to knock. A mark of 103 and Topspeed of 93 put him clear of these on bare evidence, and that second on debut was backed up by another respectable run when fourth. In a race where so many are guessing games, Alaskan Bear has already shown he can operate at a fair level and a straight 6f on fastish ground should suit him well enough. Hector Crouch is a positive booking and, while 6/4 is no giveaway in a novice full of unknowns, he still looks the most likely winner if reproducing his existing form. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Tumishi – 13/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Tom Marquand | Trainer: James Fanshawe | Form: 4 | Rating: 85 | Topspeed: 72
Tumishi appeals as the each-way play because his debut fourth was better than it might look at a glance, and he represents a yard that rarely has them fully wound up first time. There was enough promise in that run to think he can take a fair step forward with experience now under his belt, and Tom Marquand riding for James Fanshawe catches the eye in this sort of race. He doesn’t have the flashy published figures of the favourite yet, but 13/2 gives you room to play in a field of 11 with three places on offer. He looks the type to come on nicely and outrun that opening effort. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it straightforward: Alaskan Bear is the win bet because his form and ratings set the standard and the others need to improve or be smart first time out. Tumishi is the each-way option at a more workable price, especially with three places available in an 11-runner field. Pride Of Toledo and Shakwaa are the obvious dangers among the less exposed types.

20:00 – World Cup Super Boosts At BetVictor Handicap
Race Details: 7f | Class 4 | Going: 6.2) (watering) (rail movements (Good to firm, good in places (goingstick) | | flat
This is a proper Newbury handicap, deep enough to take seriously and tricky enough to make you doubt your first read. The 3yo contingent could easily hold the key, with Kennington, Annastarzy and Manly Fireball all arriving with progressive profiles, while Euphonia is another who isn’t easily dismissed despite a wider stall. Best Rate has the solid older-horse handicap form and has been knocking on the door, but he may not have much in hand of the assessor now. Commander Of Life is weighted to be competitive and should get his race from stall 1, while Huscal and Gallant are capable if bouncing back. In truth, this looks a race where recent improvement and a handy weight may matter more than established ratings.
Top Selections
1. Kennington – 4/1 with Bet365
Jockey: David Probert | Trainer: Hughie Morrison | Form: 31 | Rating: 83 | Topspeed: 69
Kennington is the one I want to be with. He has only had the two starts, so there should be more to come, and his form figures of 31 suggest he learned plenty from his debut before getting the job done next time. An opening mark of 83 looks fair rather than harsh for a lightly raced 3yo in a race where several older rivals are already exposed to one degree or another. Drawn in 3, he should be able to hold a sensible position, and David Probert is a neat booking for this sort of assignment. At 4/1, he makes plenty of appeal as the progressive one. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Commander Of Life – 12/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Hector Crouch | Trainer: Jessica Macey | Form: 243554 | Rating: 86 | Topspeed: 75
Commander Of Life is not especially sexy on paper, but he is the sort who can reward an each-way play in a race of this shape. He has been holding his form in better handicaps than this, his recent figures are respectable without being flashy, and a Topspeed of 75 says he retains enough ability to get involved if the gaps come at the right time. Stall 1 could be a help if Hector Crouch can secure a smooth run on the rail, and the 12/1 on offer looks fair in a 15-runner contest paying four places. He doesn’t need to improve massively to outrun those odds. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Kennington is the win play on potential, with his unexposed profile making him the most likely one to improve past this mark. Commander Of Life appeals as the each-way option at a double-figure price, especially with four places on offer. Best Rate is the obvious danger if again running to his recent placed level, while Annastarzy is respected as a thriving 3yo filly.

20:30 – Local IQ Handicap
Race Details: 1m | Class 5 | Going: 6.2) (watering) (rail movements (Good to firm, good in places (goingstick) | | flat
This is a small-field 3yo handicap, but it is not short on intrigue. Thanos brings the standout profile after figures of 22-211 and looks the solid yardstick now stepping up from novice company into this grade off 84. Drymee is the obvious threat after getting off the mark last time and could easily have more to offer for James Fanshawe, while Lucky Luna also arrives on the back of a win and is another unexposed type. Del Corso has been knocking on the door without quite getting there, and Venturing needs to step forward again. In truth, it looks a race where the progressive horses should dominate, and class rather than tactics may decide it, even in a field this small.
Top Selections
1. Thanos – 11/8 with Bet365
Jockey: Lewis Edmunds | Trainer: Harry Charlton | Form: 22-211 | Rating: 84 | Topspeed: 68
Thanos is hard to oppose. He has done little wrong in five starts, and the way his form has sharpened this season suggests he is still progressing rather than standing still. Two wins on the bounce have earned him this mark of 84, but that does not look excessive in a race where several rivals still need to prove themselves in handicap company. His Topspeed figure of 68 is the best on offer here, and Harry Charlton’s horses usually know their job in these summer handicaps. At 11/8, he is no giveaway, but he still looks the most likely winner and the one with the fewest questions to answer. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple in a five-runner race: Thanos is the win bet and the only bet. Each-way play makes no appeal with just two places on offer, and the market has probably got the main dangers right in Drymee and Lucky Luna. If Thanos runs to his current level, the others may be chasing minor honours.

21:00 – Pump Technology Apprentice Handicap
Race Details: 5f | Class 5 | Going: 6.2) (watering) (rail movements (Good to firm, good in places (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a proper sharp five-furlong handicap rather than a weak nightcap, with several arriving in form and not much separating them on official figures. The market is understandably focusing on Just Jump after a last-time-out win, while Truly Glamorous is the obvious progressive 3yo after getting off the mark and still has scope off 74. Faustus is the old sprinter in the line-up but his recent figures are solid and he is weighted to be competitive again, while Merrimack and Over Spiced have enough consistency to keep this honest. In a race likely decided by who travels best and handles the pace pressure, I’d rather side with the younger legs on top, though it is not the easiest puzzle on the card.
Top Selections
1. Truly Glamorous – 11/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Harry Vigors | Trainer: Christopher Mason | Form: 726-41 | Rating: 74 | Topspeed: 57
She makes plenty of appeal as a 3yo who looks to be learning quickly, and that latest win suggested she is ready to make a proper impact in handicaps. The form string of 726-41 shows steady progress rather than a fluke spike, and she gets in here carrying just 133. In a race where a few of these older sprinters are exposed enough, Truly Glamorous is the one with the most obvious upside. Christopher Mason’s filly is not thrown in, but she doesn’t need to be, and 11/4 looks fair enough if you think there is another step forward to come over this sharp trip. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Faustus – 13/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Alexandra Egan | Trainer: Rachel Cook & John Bridger | Form: 673772 | Rating: 75 | Topspeed: 69
He is hardly unexposed at the age of eight, but veteran sprinters can be dangerous in these apprentice handicaps and Faustus arrives with the right sort of profile. His recent 673772 sequence says he is knocking firmly on the door, and that topspeed figure of 69 is the best in the field, which gives him a solid chance if this becomes a straight speed test. Carrying only 129 despite a mark of 75 is another obvious plus. At 13/2 he looks the value against shorter-priced rivals because you know he will be there pitching late if things fall his way. He makes plenty of each-way appeal. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Truly Glamorous is the win play, as she has the most obvious scope for improvement and could easily be better than this mark. For an each-way punt, Faustus makes plenty of sense given his recent consistency and strong topspeed figure. Just Jump is the obvious danger after winning last time, while Merrimack is another who should not be far away if the race gets competitive early.
