13:50 – Weatherbys Global Stallions App Handicap
Race Details: 6f | Class 2 | Going: GOOD (GoingStick 6.9) (Watering) | | flat
This is a proper opening handicap rather than a gentle sighter, with several smart sprint handicappers returning and not much separating the principals on official figures. Double Rush is the obvious starting point after a highly progressive 4yo campaign and he looks the one they all have to beat despite a wide draw. Realign has the speed figures to be a major player if ready first time, while Humam and Diligently are the sort to outrun their prices from lower weights. There are a few exposed but dangerous older sprinters in here too, notably Rousing Encore and Divine Libra. All told, it is a deep and competitive Class 2, but not one lacking shape: a well-treated improver may still have the edge over the battle-hardened regulars.
Top Selections
1. Double Rush – 3/1 with William Hill
Jockey: Oisin Murphy | Trainer: Andrew Balding | Form: 11320- | Rating: 115 | Topspeed: 104
He looks the percentage call. Double Rush signed off last season with form figures that scream unfinished business, and that Topspeed mark of 104 is the best in the line-up alongside Rousing Encore. He is only a 4yo, still open to more progress, and his current mark does not look beyond him judged on the level he was reaching late in 2025. Oisin Murphy aboard for Balding in a Newmarket sprint handicap is never a combination to dismiss lightly, and at 3/1 he is short enough in a 14-runner race but still fair if you think he is the class act. Hard to oppose. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Diligently – 10/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Rob Hornby | Trainer: Clive Cox | Form: 20912- | Rating: 112 | Topspeed: 94
Diligently appeals as the each-way play because he is a lightly raced 4yo with a nice racing weight and a profile that suggests there could be another step forward to come. His 20912- sequence ended with a solid runner-up effort, and he comes here off just 121, which gives him a fighting chance against rivals carrying more established handicap burdens. Clive Cox knows exactly what is required with sprinters at this level, and stall 3 could prove a handy pitch if that side is favoured. Available at 10/1, he looks the value alternative to the market leader and a sensible each-way punt in a race paying four places.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Double Rush is the straightforward win bet because he brings the strongest progressive profile and top-class handicap form into the race. Diligently makes more appeal than most as the each-way option at double-figure odds, especially with four places on offer. The main dangers look to be Realign, who could be very well treated if fit enough, and Humam, who is weighted to get involved from the inside draw.

14:25 – Betway Feilden Stakes (Listed Race)
Race Details: 1m 1f | Class 1 | Going: GOOD (GoingStick 6.9) (Watering) | | flat
This is a compact but fairly intriguing Feilden, with several unexposed colts trying to prove they belong in deeper Pattern company. Wareeth arrives with the sexy profile after a winning debut, while Poseidon’s Warrior and Morshdi are the sort who could step forward plenty from just two starts. Isaac Newton brings the strongest established juvenile form to the table and, with Ryan Moore booked, is the obvious one to fear if ready to roll first time out. Shayem has already shown a useful level but his comeback run leaves a small question, while Bourbon Blues and Command The Stars need to find a bit more at this grade. It is not an especially deep renewal on paper, but it is a tricky one because the likely winner may still be improving fast.
Top Selections
1. Wareeth – 3/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Hollie Doyle | Trainer: Archie Watson | Form: 1 | Rating: 108 | Topspeed:
A one-run colt pitched straight into a Listed race is always taking a proper test, but Wareeth has the look of a smart prospect. That debut win clearly made an impression, and a mark of 108 after just one outing tells you connections are not tilting at windmills here. Archie Watson is more than capable of readying one for a jump in class and Hollie Doyle is an eye-catching booking for a colt who should improve plenty for experience and this extra yardage. At 3/1, he is no giveaway, but in a race full of potential rather than certainty, he makes plenty of appeal as the one with the biggest untapped upside. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Morshdi – 6/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Tom Marquand | Trainer: William Haggas | Form: 21- | Rating: 101 | Topspeed: 59
Morshdi looks the value each-way play in a field of this size. William Haggas is not one to waste bullets in a race like this and the colt did what was required late last season, improving from his debut second to win next time. The bare figures do not scream Listed winner yet, but he is lightly raced, bred to come into his own with time, and this step up to 1m1f could easily bring about another chunk of progress. Tom Marquand is a positive jockey booking for a race that may turn tactical, and 6/1 feels fair against rivals who are priced on promise as much as substance. He is the sensible each-way punt. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Wareeth is the win bet because he could easily be a class above this if his debut impression was accurate. For an each-way angle, Morshdi makes more appeal than the shorter-priced exposed types. Isaac Newton is the obvious danger on juvenile form, while Poseidon’s Warrior is the lurking threat if taking a sizeable step forward for Charlie Appleby.

15:00 – Betway Earl Of Sefton Stakes (Group 3)
Race Details: 1m 1f | Class 1 | Going: GOOD (GoingStick 6.9) (Watering) | | flat
This is a compact but quite classy Earl Of Sefton, and for all there are only six runners it is not lacking in intrigue. Damysus brings the profile of a progressive 4yo from the Gosden yard after ending last season with back-to-back wins, while Boiling Point sets the standard on official figures and should come on for his reappearance fourth. Persica is better than he showed late last term and could easily bounce back in calmer waters, while Skukuza has been holding his form respectably without looking obviously ahead of the assessor. Kings Gambit and Prague look to have a bit to find. Tactically, this could turn into a steadily run affair, so position and turn of foot may matter every bit as much as the bare ratings.
Top Selections
1. Damysus – 15/8 with Bet365
Jockey: James Doyle | Trainer: John & Thady Gosden | Form: 32011- | Rating: 123 | Topspeed: 118
Damysus is the one I want on side. He ended last season looking a colt going the right way, with that 32011- sequence suggesting he really began to put it together once stepped up and allowed to use his stride. He is actually 8lb shy of Boiling Point on ratings, so this is no gimme, but his 4yo profile is the key angle in a race where a few of these may already have shown their hand. James Doyle is an ideal booking in what could become tactical, and a Topspeed of 118 says he is not short of substance either. At 15/8, he looks the likeliest winner rather than a bargain, but he is still the percentage call.
Bet: WIN
2. Persica – 5/1 with Sky Bet
Jockey: Oisin Murphy | Trainer: Richard Hannon | Form: 15608- | Rating: 129 | Topspeed: 114
Persica makes most appeal as the each-way play. The bare form figures from the back end of last year are untidy enough, but they came in stronger races than this and he is not one to write off lightly in a six-runner Group 3. Rated 129, he is very much entitled to be competitive if returning in the same shape, and Oisin Murphy is a notable positive in a race where getting first run could be crucial. He has the class to make these work and, at 5/1, he looks a fair each-way punt against a favourite who still has to prove himself fully at this level.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Damysus is the win play, as he is the progressive one in the field and may still have more to offer than his mark of 123. Persica is the each-way alternative at 5/1, with his rating giving him a solid chance if bouncing back. Boiling Point is the obvious danger on figures and should not be underestimated after his comeback run.

15:35 – Lanwades Stud Nell Gwyn Stakes (Group 3) (Fillies)
Race Details: 7f | Class 1 | Going: GOOD (GoingStick 6.9) (Watering) | | flat
This looks a proper Nell Gwyn rather than a penalty kick for one flashy filly. Beautify brings the standout rating, America Queen has the strongest established juvenile form on the clock, and Act Of Kindness is the unexposed one from a yard that loves targeting these Newmarket fillies’ races. Inis Mor and Mubasimah add further depth, both progressive and entitled to improve at three, while Asmeralda is the classic dark horse after a winning debut. Over this stiff 7f on good ground, class alone won’t be enough; you want a filly who can travel and then see it out up the dip and rising finish. It’s a deep, slightly tricky contest, but not an impossible one to solve.
Top Selections
1. America Queen – 6/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Rossa Ryan | Trainer: Richard Hughes | Form: 124- | Rating: 115 | Topspeed: 108
She makes plenty of appeal at 6/1 because her juvenile profile is already rock-solid and the figures back it up. A mark of 115 and Topspeed of 108 put her right in the argument, and that form string suggests she kept turning up in decent company rather than bullying weak races. Hughes can ready one after a break and this stiff 7f should suit a filly with substance to her form rather than just hype. She isn’t the most mysterious runner in the line-up, but in a race full of potential that can be a positive. If she has trained on as expected, she holds very strong claims. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Fitzella – 12/1 with Bet365
Jockey: James Doyle | Trainer: Hugo Palmer | Form: 14125- | Rating: 116 | Topspeed: 104
Fitzella looks the value each-way play in a race where a few of the shorter ones are being priced on potential. Her rating of 116 says she already has the substance for this level, and that 14125- sequence shows a filly who mixed it consistently in useful races last season. James Doyle is an eye-catching booking and she has enough pace for 7f without looking a non-stayer up the hill. At 12/1, she doesn’t need to improve bundles to hit the frame in a 13-runner Group 3 with four places on offer. She strikes me as the type to travel well and keep finding when others flatten out. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
America Queen is the win bet at 6/1, a fair price for one with proven juvenile class and strong figures. Fitzella makes plenty of sense as the each-way punt at 12/1 given her rating and consistency. The obvious dangers are Beautify on raw ability and Act Of Kindness as the unexposed Appleby filly, while Inis Mor also deserves respect in a race with depth.

16:10 – Scorthy Champ Standing At Barton British EBF Maiden Fillies’ Stakes (GBB/IRE Incentive Race)
Race Details: 5f | Class 2 | Going: GOOD (GoingStick 6.9) (Watering) | | flat
This is a sharp little juvenile maiden that ought to throw up a useful filly, even if it is one of those early-season two-year-old races where the market will tell plenty. Havana Lightning, Jazz Queen and Bint Archange head the betting and it is easy enough to see why, with Buick, Murphy and Moore all booked for respected yards. Richard Hannon’s Call Me Tomorrow also adds depth, while Beauty Box represents a stable that can ready one first time. Over a bare 5f here, professionalism and raw pace usually matter more than anything else, so the paddock and late support will be worth noting. Still, on paper this looks a fairly strong maiden rather than a guessing game, with the principals all coming from outfits that know exactly what is required in these spring juvenile contests.
Top Selections
1. Havana Lightning – 11/4 with Bet365
Jockey: William Buick | Trainer: George Boughey | Form: | Rating: | Topspeed:
Boughey is hardly shy of running a smart two-year-old early and the booking of William Buick catches the eye straight away. Havana Lightning is the one the market has latched on to most strongly and, in a race where all eight are unraced, that stable confidence counts for plenty. Drawn in 1, she should be able to grab a handy position if alert from the stalls, which is often half the battle in these Newmarket juvenile sprints. At 11/4 she is no giveaway, but she makes obvious appeal in a yard that targets races like this and looks the most solid win proposition among the debutantes. Bet type tag: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Beauty Box – 17/2 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Rossa Ryan | Trainer: James Tate | Form: | Rating: | Topspeed:
If you want to play against the obvious trio at a better price, Beauty Box makes some appeal as the each-way alternative. James Tate can ready one to go and Rossa Ryan is a notably positive booking for a filly likely to need to be sharp from the gate. She is not with the most fashionable juvenile stable in the line-up, which is probably why she is available at 17/2, but that could underestimate her chance in an eight-runner maiden where only three places are on offer. With several taking each other on near the head of the market, she looks the value each-way punt if breaking on terms and showing the speed her pedigree presumably promises. Bet type tag: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Havana Lightning is the straightforward win play, with the Boughey-Buick combination hard to oppose in a race of this type. For those wanting a bit more juice in the price, Beauty Box appeals as the each-way option at 17/2. Jazz Queen and Bint Archange are the obvious dangers, while Call Me Tomorrow would not surprise if the Hannon team has her tuned up first time.

16:45 – Molson Coors British EBF Maiden Fillies’ Stakes (GBB Race)
Race Details: 1m | Class 2 | Going: GOOD (GoingStick 6.9) (Watering) | | flat
This looks a smart maiden for the time of year rather than a routine fillies’ novice in all but name. So Regal sets the standard among those with experience after a promising third on debut, while Lyrics Of Life brings the strongest published rating and a solid juvenile body of work, even if she has had a few chances. Star Of Hope and Darzah add plenty of intrigue as once-raced or unraced fillies from powerful yards, and Newmarket maidens of this type are often decided by which of the bluebloods takes a good step forward at three. Capichera also has a fair bit going for her after two encouraging runs. It is a race with depth, but the market principals do look the right ones and class should tell.
Top Selections
1. So Regal – 15/8 with Bet365
Jockey: Ryan Moore | Trainer: John & Thady Gosden | Form: 3- | Rating: 89 | Topspeed:
So Regal is the obvious one to beat and, in truth, she is hard to oppose. A debut third last season is often the launching pad for a Gosden filly, and the fact she returns in a Newmarket Class 2 maiden over a mile suggests connections think she is well above ordinary. Ryan Moore is a notable booking and the 89 rating already gives her a strong platform in this company. There should be more to come now stepping forward from two to three, and 15/8 looks fair rather than cramped if she has strengthened as expected through the winter. She holds the clearest claims.
Bet: WIN
2. Capichera – 6/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Kieran Shoemark | Trainer: Ed Walker | Form: 42- | Rating: 86 | Topspeed: 62
Capichera makes plenty of each-way appeal in a race where some of the shorter ones still have to prove it under pressure. Her form figures of 4-2 show steady progress, and that runner-up effort on her final start last year hinted that a mile this spring would suit very well. Ed Walker can ready one after a break and Kieran Shoemark is a positive jockey booking for a filly likely to be ridden with a bit of patience. She does not have the same sexy profile as the top yards, but at 6/1 she looks the value play against rivals priced largely on reputation. A bold run is easy to see.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple: So Regal is the win bet because she has the right profile, the right yard and the right debut effort for this sort of race. Capichera is the each-way punt at 6/1, with solid form already in the book and scope for another step forward. The obvious dangers are Star Of Hope on debut and the battle-hardened Lyrics Of Life.

17:17 – Betway Best Odds Guaranteed Handicap (GBBPlus Race)
Race Details: 1m 2f | Class 3 | Going: GOOD (GoingStick 6.9) (Watering) | | flat
This is a pretty likeable three-year-old handicap to close, even if it is not the easiest race on the card to solve. High Storm brings the standout profile after winning on his return and is clearly the one they all have to beat off a mark of 100, but he is not getting much help from the handicap and there are a few unexposed rivals lurking beneath him. Waterford Castle has been knocking on the door, Ranga Tang looks the type to improve for this trip, while Evanesco and The Joker have enough ability to get involved if returning in the right shape. With only nine runners, position and pace could matter plenty, and this may be decided by which of these progressive middle-distance types finds another step forward.
Top Selections
1. High Storm – 3/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Clifford Lee | Trainer: K R Burke | Form: 34-21 | Rating: 100 | Topspeed: 92
He is the obvious starting point and, in truth, the most solid one too. High Storm has done little wrong in four starts, and that comeback success suggested he had trained on exactly as connections would have hoped. A mark of 100 asks a proper question in a race of this depth, but he has already posted a Topspeed of 92 and looks a straightforward, progressive colt who should be well suited by this test. Burke’s horses are usually well drilled for these early-season handicaps and Clifford Lee knows the job. At 3/1 he is not a giveaway, but he still looks the percentage call. Bet type tag: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Ranga Tang – 9/2 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Luke Morris | Trainer: James Owen | Form: 542- | Rating: 99 | Topspeed: 70
Ranga Tang is the one at a slightly bigger price who makes plenty of appeal for an each-way punt. He has only had three runs, shaped as though this sort of trip would suit, and the fact he starts handicapping from 99 tells you he has shown a fair bit already. James Owen is more than capable of placing one to advantage, and this looks the sort of race where an unexposed type can improve past more battle-hardened rivals. Luke Morris should ensure he is not given a messy ride, which matters around here. The 9/2 is fair rather than flashy, but in a nine-runner race with three places he makes each-way sense.

Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
High Storm is the win play because he has the strongest recent form and the most convincing profile in the field. For an each-way alternative, Ranga Tang looks the value as an unexposed colt who could easily step forward now handicapping over 1m2f. Waterford Castle is the obvious danger after back-to-back seconds, while Evanesco is not one to dismiss if ready first time.
