13:15 – Alex Scott Maiden Stakes (Colts & Geldings)

Race Details: 7f | Class 4 | Going: 7.4) (watering) (Good (goingstick) | | flat

This looks a fairly informative maiden for the grade rather than a trappy lottery, and the market has understandably latched onto Cerro Blanco for Charlie Appleby and William Buick. He is the obvious one on paper in a race lacking depth, but it is not a penalty kick with a couple of rivals bringing solid experience to the table. Wield has already shown useful ability in two runs and sets a decent standard among those with form, while Powder Monkey has been placed twice and owns the highest rating in the field. Galba also shaped with promise on his sole juvenile start. In truth, the newcomer from the Appleby yard may simply be better than these, but the places are not impossible to sort out behind him.

Top Selections

1. Cerro Blanco – 8/13 with Betfair

Jockey: William Buick | Trainer: Charlie Appleby | Form: | Rating: | Topspeed:

It is rarely a bad starting point in a Newmarket maiden to side with an Appleby newcomer ridden by Buick, and Cerro Blanco looks the one they all have to beat. The market has him very short at 8/13, which tells its own story in a field where the exposed form is respectable rather than intimidating. He is drawn fine in stall 5, comes from a yard that knows exactly what is required in these spring maidens, and this does not look stacked with hidden depth. At the prices there is no juice, but on pure win purposes he is hard to oppose and may simply have too much class first time out. Bet: WIN

2. Wield – 6/1 with Bet365

Jockey: Oisin Murphy | Trainer: Andrew Balding | Form: 4-3 | Rating: 78 | Topspeed: 45

Wield makes plenty of each-way appeal in a race where the favourite could easily win but the minor honours are there to be fought over. Andrew Balding’s colt has the benefit of experience, and his reappearance third suggested he is moving the right way after shaping nicely as a 2yo. A mark of 78 gives him a solid platform in this company, and Oisin Murphy is an eyecatching booking to help him travel and finish his race properly over 7f. Available at 6/1, he looks the value against rivals who either need to improve plenty or have to prove themselves on debut. He is the percentage play for the frame. Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Cerro Blanco is the straightforward win play, even if the price is hardly adventurous. For an each-way punt, Wield looks the safest option among those with established form and should give you a proper run for your money. Powder Monkey is the obvious danger if building on his placed efforts, while Galba is not ruled out for place purposes after a promising debut.

13:50 – Gabriela Rose London British EBF Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

Race Details: 5f | Class 4 | Going: 7.4) (watering) (Good (goingstick) | | flat

A tight little five-runner novice for juveniles and, while it won’t take much winning, it is still an interesting early-season puzzle. Innichen is the only one with racecourse experience after a fair debut sixth and that gives him a solid baseline, but these Newmarket 2yo races are often about which newcomer is ready to roll first time. The market points strongly towards Shadow King and Adaay Of Scarlett, and both come from yards fully capable of readying a sharp one for a bare 5f. With just five runners there should be no hiding place, and a straightforward pace test on this quick strip will suit the colt with natural speed and professionalism. It looks a race where the betting should be trusted, but there is no giveaway certainty.

Top Selections

1. Shadow King – 9/4 with Bet365

Jockey: Sean Levey | Trainer: Richard Hannon | Form: | Rating: | Topspeed:

Shadow King gets the vote in a race where the newcomers may well dominate. Richard Hannon has long been a man to note with early juveniles, and Sean Levey is an eye-catching booking in a contest that should demand speed and know-how from the stalls. The market has him right near the head of affairs and that makes plenty of sense given the profile. Innichen sets only a modest standard on what he achieved first time, so this does not look an especially deep novice, and 9/4 is fair enough if Shadow King is anywhere near streetwise on debut. He looks the one with the most obvious upside and is the selection.

Bet: WIN

Betting Strategy

In a five-runner race there is no each-way angle worth forcing, so keep it simple and back Shadow King to win. Innichen is the main danger on experience, while Adaay Of Scarlett is the other obvious threat if the market confidence proves justified. This is a small-field novice, so staking should stay sensible.

14:25 – Federation Of Bloodstock Agents EBF Conditions Stakes (GBB Race)

Race Details: 7f | Class 2 | Going: 7.4) (watering) (Good (goingstick) | | flat

This is only a five-runner conditions event, but it has a fair bit of depth for the grade and revolves around the Godolphin pair. Talk Of New York sets the standard on figures by a distance, with a lofty 110 rating and the best Topspeed in the field, while stablemate Maximized is no back number if building on his recent second. Richie’s Rocket has the right connections and a solid enough profile to think he can get involved, and Shaatir is better than his price suggests if improving from his reappearance. Still, the shape of the race looks fairly straightforward: if Talk Of New York runs to the level of his mark over this 7f, the rest are probably fighting for minor honours. Strong race for the size of field, but not much of a puzzle.

Top Selections

1. Talk Of New York – 4/6 with Bet365

Jockey: William Buick | Trainer: Charlie Appleby | Form: 1-3 | Rating: 110 | Topspeed: 104

He is very hard to oppose. A mark of 110 already puts him comfortably clear of these and that 104 Topspeed figure jumps off the page in a race where none of his rivals can match it. He won on debut and then shaped with plenty of credit when third on his return, suggesting there should be more to come now stepping forward again as a three-year-old. William Buick keeps the ride for Charlie Appleby, which is never a negative in this sort of Newmarket conditions race, and at 4/6 he is short but not obviously wrong. In a small field with limited each-way appeal, he looks the percentage call.

Bet: WIN

Betting Strategy

Keep it simple and back Talk Of New York to win. In a five-runner race there is no sensible each-way angle, and he has the clearest form and ratings edge in the lineup. Maximized looks the main danger on his recent second, while Richie’s Rocket could pick up the pieces if the favourite underperforms, but the betting approach here is straightforward: one win bet on the class act.

15:00 – AR Legal Collections Handicap

Race Details: 7f | Class 4 | Going: 7.4) (watering) (Good (goingstick) | | flat

This is a proper three-year-old handicap, deep enough to make you work for the answer and competitive from top to bottom. Startled brings the strongest recent piece of form after shaping well on reappearance, while Crazee Icon has the look of one who was crying out for this sort of test before going away. Cashbox and Stellar Vision are obvious improvers after ending last season with wins, and Sierra Sands is another unexposed one now pitched into a race where the draw could easily become part of the story over 7f here. Hardy’s Hero is respected from a top yard but lacks a quoted price, while Kody B and High Approval are capable of outrunning theirs. Tricky, yes, but not impossible if you side with the right progressive type.

Top Selections

1. Startled – 4/1 with Bet365

Jockey: William Buick | Trainer: Richard Hughes | Form: 3341-3 | Rating: 84 | Topspeed: 77

Startled makes plenty of appeal. He signed off last year with a win, then returned with a solid third that suggested he has trained on and is ready to strike from this mark. The draw in stall 1 looks handy for a horse who should get a good stalking trip, and Buick is the sort you want in a race where position and timing will matter. His figures are right in the mix, and unlike a few of these, he has already shown he can be effective in a proper handicap scenario. At 4/1, he is not exactly hiding from the market, but he still looks the percentage call. Bet: WIN

Bet: WIN

2. Kody B – 14/1 with Bet365

Jockey: Joanna Mason | Trainer: Craig Lidster | Form: 8271- | Rating: 88 | Topspeed: 75

Kody B is the each-way play at the prices. He finished last season by getting his head in front and that form line at least showed a bit of grit, which is no bad thing in a race like this. He has to defy top weight, but he is also one of the higher-rated runners in the field and is berthed low in stall 2, which could be useful if they edge towards the stands’ side. There are sexier profiles in here, no question, but 14/1 feels a touch dismissive for one who has already shown enough to suggest he can be competitive off 88. He looks the sort to keep galloping and nick a place at the very least. Bet: EACH-WAY

Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Startled is the straight win bet after a pleasing comeback and from a draw that should let Buick dictate the race to his liking. For an each-way punt, Kody B makes more appeal than his double-figure odds suggest. The obvious dangers are Crazee Icon, who is well treated on last season’s placed efforts, and Cashbox, a progressive sort who could easily take another step forward.

15:35 – Betway 4 To Win Handicap

Race Details: 5f | Class 3 | Going: 7.4) (watering) (Good (goingstick) | | flat

This is a sharp little 5f handicap with plenty of pace on paper and not much between several of them on ratings, which usually makes Newmarket sprints the sort of race where track position and timing matter as much as raw ability. Regal Envoy, Rosario and Dyonisos head the market for good reason, while Jakajaro is the type to go well fresh and can never be dismissed in this grade. Existent is dangerous off a feather weight if bouncing back, too. The question is whether you want the solid, prominent racer or something delivered late off what should be a proper gallop. It looks competitive rather than classy, but there is enough recent and established sprint form here to make it a worthwhile puzzle rather than a complete lottery.

Top Selections

1. Dyonisos – 4/1 with Bet365

Jockey: William Buick | Trainer: Ian Williams | Form: 006-83 | Rating: 104 | Topspeed: 94

Dyonisos makes plenty of appeal in a race where a few of the principals are fully exposed. He is one of the younger legs in the field as a 4yo, comes here off a respectable recent third, and the handicapper hasn’t exactly been savage with him. Stall 2 should suit if Buick can get him travelling early and hold a handy position on this straight 5f. He doesn’t have the flashy profile of some, but he does look the one with a bit more upside than the older sprinters around him. At 4/1 with Bet365, he makes plenty of sense in a race lacking a standout. Bet type tag: WIN

Bet: WIN

2. Existent – 10/1 with Bet365

Jockey: Hollie Doyle | Trainer: Stuart Williams | Form: 820-18 | Rating: 106 | Topspeed: 104

Existent is not the easiest horse to catch right, but in this company he looks overpriced if you forgive that latest eighth. His Topspeed figure of 104 is the best in the field, and that tells you he still retains enough ability to be very competitive at this level when things drop right. Carrying just 118, he is well treated on balance and Hollie Doyle is exactly the sort you want on an older sprinter who needs delivering late and accurately. At 10/1 with Bet365, he is the each-way play in a race where plenty have similar chances but few offer that sort of return. Bet type tag: EACH-WAY

Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Dyonisos is the win play at around the 4/1 mark, chiefly because he looks less exposed than most and arrives in decent nick. Existent is the each-way punt at double-figure odds, with his low weight and strong Topspeed figure giving him obvious place claims. Regal Envoy, Rosario and Jakajaro are the main dangers in what is a tight sprint handicap.

16:10 – Betway Sportsbook App Handicap

Race Details: 1m | Class 4 | Going: 7.4) (watering) (Good (goingstick) | | flat

This looks a proper three-year-old handicap rather than a weak early-season scramble, with several unexposed mile types open to better. Major Neigh Sayer sets the standard on figures after ending last year with a 94 mark, while Tiger Power arrives off a win and still has the look of a colt going the right way. We’Re Goosers, Darn Hot Gallop and Blue Courvoisier all bring lightly-raced profiles too, so there is no shortage of plausible angles. The draw does not scream decisive, and in races like this it is often a question of who has improved most from two to three rather than who achieved the most last autumn. That makes it competitive, but not impossible — there are a couple in here who still look attractively treated.

Top Selections

1. Tiger Power – 5/1 with Bet365

Jockey: P J McDonald | Trainer: Andrew Balding | Form: 13-1 | Rating: 91 | Topspeed: 25

Andrew Balding’s colt has done very little wrong in four starts and the way he resumed with a win suggests there is more to come now handicapping opportunities open up. His profile is that of a progressive sort rather than one already fully exposed by the assessor, and a mark of 91 does not look punitive in a race where a few rivals may already be near their ceiling. P J McDonald is a solid booking for this sort of straight-track test and Tiger Power looks the one most likely to take another step forward. At 5/1, he makes plenty of appeal in a race where upside could be everything.

Bet: WIN

2. Darn Hot Gallop – 17/2 with Bet365

Jockey: Hector Crouch | Trainer: James Tate | Form: 11- | Rating: 91 | Topspeed:

Two runs, two wins, and that alone makes him hard to dismiss in a handicap full of guesswork. James Tate’s runners often know their job and this colt has clearly shown a willing attitude already, which matters in a 12-runner mile handicap where the race can get messy. He has been handed the same mark as Tiger Power, but unlike some with longer form figures there could easily be another chunk of improvement to come after a break. Hector Crouch is a neat, uncomplicated fit for this type of horse. At 17/2, he looks the each-way value against shorter, more obvious contenders.

Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Tiger Power is the win play because he arrives progressive, race-fit and with fewer questions than most. Darn Hot Gallop is the each-way punt at a fairer price given his unbeaten profile. The obvious dangers are Major Neigh Sayer on raw figures and the well-touted We’Re Goosers, but the market may not leave much room for error with either.

16:45 – Betway Bet The Responsible Way Handicap

Race Details: 1m | Class 2 | Going: 7.4) (watering) (Good (goingstick) | | flat

This is a proper end-of-card mile handicap rather than a throwaway finale, with several exposed but useful operators taking on a few who could still have a bit more to offer. Great Chieftain is the obvious starting point off just 124 and it’s no surprise he dominates the early chat, while Mister Winston is another 4yo with the profile to do better this term. Real Gain is interesting on old form if Hamad Al Jehani can spark him back up, and veterans like Bopedro and Sterling Knight are handicapped to be competitive if getting the race run to suit. Draw and pace may matter less than simple timing here: this looks the sort of race where a well-handicapped stalker can pick up the pieces late. Tricky enough, but not impossible to solve.

Top Selections

1. Great Chieftain – 11/4 with Bet365

Jockey: William Buick | Trainer: Oliver Cole | Form: 157-85 | Rating: 114 | Topspeed: 97

He makes plenty of appeal. Great Chieftain is now below several of the better marks he was competing from last year and, crucially, he gets in here with just 124 despite a lofty rating of 114. His two runs this season don’t scream certainty, but they do hint that he’s edging back towards his best, and this straight mile at Newmarket could suit a horse who likes to be delivered into the race. William Buick is an eye-catching booking and in a field where a few have questions attached, he looks the one with the most persuasive blend of class and handicapping potential. At 11/4, he’s short enough, but still the percentage call. Bet type tag: WIN

Bet: WIN

2. Mythical Guest – 10/1 with Bet365

Jockey: Jack Callan | Trainer: George Margarson | Form: 44823- | Rating: 110 | Topspeed: 98

For an each-way play, Mythical Guest stands out as the value angle. He’s a likeable, reliable handicapper at this level and ended last season with a couple of solid placed efforts that suggested he remains very capable from this sort of mark. The draw in stall 1 could help if he gets a smooth tow into it, and carrying only 121 in a race where several rivals are higher in the weights is no bad thing at all. He doesn’t possess the sexy profile of the younger horses, but this is exactly the type of contest where battle-hardened milers can nick a place or better. Around 10/1, he looks a sensible each-way punt. Bet type tag: EACH-WAY

Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Great Chieftain is the win play because he looks the best-treated horse in the line-up and has the right jockey for a race likely to be decided late. Mythical Guest is the each-way option at double-figure odds, with his low weight and consistency making him attractive for the frame. The main dangers are Mister Winston, who could improve again as a 4yo, and Real Gain if bouncing back to anything like his old level.
