Fleet Finders Supports The National Horseracing College EBF Novice Stakes (GBB Race)
Winner £4,320, 2nd £2,028, 3rd £1,014, 4th £507
3yo+, 5 Runners
Flat,Turf , 1m 2f 5y , GOOD (GoingStick 8.2) (Watering) (Rail movements: 1.50, 3.32, 4.05 & 5.10 +2yds)
Action Pact – 25/1 – bet365
Still a maiden and improvement is required after limited impact so far; likely best watched again.
Munsif – 2/7 – Betvictor
Made an excellent start when scoring readily and sets a high standard for the others to match here.
Dynamo George – 14/1 – Unibet
Newcomer who comes from a yard capable of getting one ready; market vibes should be noted carefully.
Rolling Luck – 25/1 – bet365
Failed to land a blow on debut and will need a big step forward to trouble the principals in this field.
Jeanne Baret – 4/1 – Betvictor
Related to several winners and has shaped with promise; looks the main threat to the short-priced favourite.
Verdict
With an authoritative debut already under his belt, Munsif is hard to oppose and is expected to justify cramped odds.
Jeanne Baret should ensure he doesn’t have it all his own way and looks the obvious danger.
If the market speaks in favour of Dynamo George, he could well be worth keeping an eye on for future outings even if today proves too soon.

3yo+, 13 Runners
Flat,Turf , 1m 6y , GOOD TO FIRM, Good in places (GoingStick 8.1) (Watering to maintain)
Champion Island – 7/2 – bet365
Appealed with a good first run and sets a solid benchmark; likely to take a fair bit of beating if improving naturally.
Dandy’s Rocket – 10/1 – Betvictor
Still raw and learning but hinted at ability; needs to sharpen up considerably to feature against this company.
Send The Navy – 14/1 – Unibet
Connections will be hoping for progress after a quiet debut; improvement required but not entirely discounted.
Solar Cooper – 10/1 – bet365
Showed signs of greenness first time out; capable of better with that experience under his belt.
Sporting Light – 5/1 – Betvictor
Debuts for a powerful stable and likely to know his job; respected if strong in the market.
Star Material – 5/1 – Unibet
Ran with some promise on his introduction; should strip fitter now and looks capable of further progress.
Argentine Tango – 7/4 – bet365
Touted highly before his debut and ran with encouragement; expected to be very tough to beat with normal improvement.
Verdict
Argentine Tango shaped like a natural first time out and looks the one they all must fear if stepping forward.
Champion Island is a solid opponent who should be competitive again, while Star Material is another likely improver who could find his way into the frame.

Flat,Turf , 6f , GOOD TO FIRM, Good in places (GoingStick 8.1) (Watering to maintain)
Lethal Nymph – 4/1 – bet365
Built on his reappearance with a solid run last time; right in the mix if repeating that latest effort.
Wen Moon – 9/1 – Betvictor
Strong traveller who can sometimes flatter to deceive; place possibilities if things fall nicely.
Cloud King – 9/2 – Unibet
Expected to improve for his seasonal pipe-opener; one to keep firmly on side if progressing as anticipated.
Night On Earth – 14/1 – bet365
Drops in class and a bounce-back performance wouldn’t surprise; needs a sharp break to make the most of it.
Hedge Fund – 5/1 – Betvictor
Reliable sort with good early dash; should be right there if keeping a straight line through the final furlong.
Arecibo – 14/1 – bet365
Long time since he last got his head in front; needs to rekindle his old form to figure prominently.
Ingleby Archie – 7/1 – Unibet
Very consistent at this level and likely to be knocking at the door once again; shortlist material.
Cash In – 16/1 – bet365
Capable when on song but does need to leave a modest return behind to feature among today’s principals.
Reigning Profit – 11/2 – Betvictor
In cracking form this term and promises to be doing his best work late; big player with a strong finish.
Fenlander – 12/1 – Unibet
Lightly raced sort who could still have more to offer; outside chance if handling the hustle early on.
Verdict
There should be no shortage of pace here, which could set it up beautifully for Reigning Profit, who stays on strongly in his races and might mow them down late.
Cloud King is expected to strip fitter for his comeback run and looks a big danger, while Ingleby Archie remains one for each-way backers seeking value.

Sky Bet Extra Places Every Day Handicap
Winner £13,085, 2nd £6,140, 3rd £3,068, 4th £1,535, 5th £765
3yo+, 8 Runners
Flat,Turf , 1m 2f 5y , GOOD TO FIRM, Good in places (GoingStick 8.1) (Watering to maintain)
Sophia’s Starlight – 11/4 (Bet365)
This four-year-old filly bounced back to form with a strong victory at Newmarket last month. She’s up 2lb for that effort, but remains well-handicapped to challenge again. Back Sophia’s Starlight at Bet365
Glorious Angel – 10/1 (Betvictor)
Though she’s been a bit inconsistent lately, Glorious Angel has shown the ability to perform at this level. A good ride could see her place in the frame. Back Glorious Angel at Betvictor
Tropical Island – 11/2 (Unibet)
This three-year-old has had some ups and downs but still poses a threat on her day. Richard Fahey’s charge could be in the mix if she reproduces her better form. Back Tropical Island at Unibet
The Eyes Have It – 10/3 (Bet365)
Lightly raced and from the powerful William Haggas yard, The Eyes Have It looks primed to make a bold bid. She’s relatively unexposed and could still have plenty of improvement left in her. Back The Eyes Have It at Bet365
Alcazan – 3/1 (Unibet)
Coming off a solid third-place finish last time out, Alcazan is reliable and consistent at this distance. She’s likely to be competitive again in this company. Back Alcazan at Unibet
May Blossom – 12/1 (Betvictor)
This five-year-old mare can be a tricky customer, but she’s capable of landing a big run if everything falls into place. A decent each-way shot in this field. Back May Blossom at Betvictor
Thursday’s Child – 8/1 (Bet365)
This filly has been performing well without winning, but she could put in a good shift at a nice price if things go her way. Worth considering for an outside chance. Back Thursday’s Child at Bet365
Verdict
Sophia’s Starlight heads into the race with solid form and looks capable of following up her Newmarket win. The Eyes Have It could also be a major player, while Alcazan and Tropical Island are both credible threats.

Winner £25,770, 2nd £12,085, 3rd £6,045, 4th £3,020, 5th £1,510, 6th £755
3yo+, 8 Runners
Flat,Turf , 5f 3y , GOOD TO FIRM, Good in places (GoingStick 8.1) (Watering to maintain)
Kyle Of Lochalsh – 15/8 (Betvictor)
Kyle Of Lochalsh has been a consistent performer throughout the season, showing solid stamina over longer trips. He’s a reliable type and should make a strong case here. Back Kyle Of Lochalsh at Betvictor
Rajinsky – 15/2 (Unibet)
Although Rajinsky was well beaten last time, he’s capable of bouncing back and has some solid form from earlier in the year. His odds could provide value for an each-way play. Back Rajinsky at Unibet
Wise Eagle – 11/4 (Bet365)
Wise Eagle, the 2022 winner of this race, has had some tough assignments recently but could return to form on this more familiar ground. He’s certainly one to watch here. Back Wise Eagle at Bet365
Oxford Comma – 7/4 (Bet365)
After two wins earlier in the season, Oxford Comma failed to fire in the Park Hill Stakes, but he remains a talented three-year-old with potential to bounce back in this race. Back Oxford Comma at Bet365
Verdict
Kyle Of Lochalsh is the one to beat given his strong form over staying distances this season. However, Wise Eagle, last year’s winner, is also a solid contender and could pose a serious threat. Oxford Comma could bounce back to form, and Rajinsky offers some each-way value at a bigger price.

Sky Bet Acca Freeze Fillies’ Handicap
Winner £10,991, 2nd £5,158, 3rd £2,577, 4th £1,289, 5th £643
3yo+, 11 Runners
Flat,Turf , 6f , GOOD TO FIRM, Good in places (GoingStick 8.1) (Watering to maintain)
Paddy The Squire – 6/1 (Unibet)
Paddy The Squire hasn’t been in top form recently, but his best performances suggest he has the potential to improve here. The step back to this trip could work in his favor. Back Paddy The Squire at Unibet
Austrian Theory – 7/1 (Bet365)
With a solid second-place finish at Haydock earlier in the season, Austrian Theory has the ability to compete at this level, and the softer ground might bring out his best. Back Austrian Theory at Bet365
Shamran – 9/2 (Betvictor)
Shamran broke his maiden last time out and looks set to build on that success. Hollie Doyle aboard adds confidence for a repeat performance. Back Shamran at Betvictor
Spirit Of Acklam – 4/1 (Bet365)
After winning at Newcastle, Spirit Of Acklam was third in his latest race. He could be set for another bold showing at this distance. Back Spirit Of Acklam at Bet365
Expected Arrival – 10/1 (Unibet)
Expected Arrival has been consistent over similar trips and could make his presence felt again if he bounces back to the form that saw him win two starts ago. Back Expected Arrival at Unibet
Tipsy Tiger – 9/1 (Betvictor)
Despite a fourth-place finish last time, Tipsy Tiger has been improving steadily and remains in contention. A return to form could see him challenge in this race. Back Tipsy Tiger at Betvictor
Inappropriate – 4/1 (Bet365)
Inappropriate has been thriving recently with back-to-back wins and could continue his winning streak in this race. His current form makes him a strong contender. Back Inappropriate at Bet365
Magnetic North – 33/1 (Unibet)
Though Magnetic North has struggled in his last two runs, the drop in trip could see a better performance. At his current odds, he’s worth an outside chance. Back Magnetic North at Unibet
Verdict
Inappropriate is on a roll with consecutive wins, and there’s no reason why he can’t make it three in a row. However, Shamran looks dangerous after breaking his maiden last time out, and Austrian Theory is a value pick on this ground. For a longer shot, Magnetic North could offer some big each-way value now dropping in trip.

Flat,Turf , 6f , GOOD (GoingStick 8.0)
Digital – 10/1 (Bet365)
A seasoned sprinter who has been consistent this year but hasn’t been at his best in recent runs. Could bounce back to form with the right pace up front. Back Digital at Bet365
Twelfth Knight – 20/1 (Betvictor)
Twelfth Knight hasn’t shown much lately but has some solid performances earlier in the season. Needs to find that form again to compete here. Back Twelfth Knight at Betvictor
Winged Messenger – 14/1 (Unibet)
A lightly raced 3yo, Winged Messenger has shown promise earlier but needs to put in a more consistent performance. Could be in the mix at these odds. Back Winged Messenger at Unibet
Showhound – 6/1 (Bet365)
Has been running well without getting his head in front recently. A solid each-way chance at these odds, and could find more improvement. Back Showhound at Bet365
Another Baar – 6/1 (Unibet)
Another Baar has had a mixed season, but his best performances put him right in the frame for this one. If he can replicate earlier form, he’s a real contender. Back Another Baar at Unibet
Jojo Rabbit – 10/1 (Betvictor)
A six-time winner who has been a bit inconsistent of late but certainly has the ability to challenge if on a good day. One to consider at this price. Back Jojo Rabbit at Betvictor
Honour Your Dreams – 7/2 (Bet365)
Consistent performer and was narrowly beaten last time. Looks the one to beat if running to form. Back Honour Your Dreams at Bet365
Willolarupi – 8/1 (Unibet)
Willolarupi has shown some decent form recently, particularly at this distance. With Hollie Doyle aboard, this filly could be one to watch. Back Willolarupi at Unibet
Profiteer – 4/1 (Betvictor)
Comes here on the back of a solid win and could follow up, especially as conditions are likely to suit. Looks a strong contender at current odds. Back Profiteer at Betvictor
Glendown – 14/1 (Bet365)
Although his form has been patchy this season, Glendown is a previous course winner and could spring a surprise if bouncing back to his best. Back Glendown at Bet365
Verdict
Honour Your Dreams has been in great form and should go close again today, with Profiteer another who looks to have solid claims after his recent win. For those looking at longer odds, Jojo Rabbit and Another Baar could offer decent each-way value if they can rediscover their best form.
