Jane McManus
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our friend and colleague Jane McManus.
Jane was a much loved member of the team having worked at the Racecourse for over 20 years initially in the Sales and Marketing Department and latterly as our Winning Connections Liaison. She will be sorely missed
Jane’s funeral will be at Masonhill Crematorium on Wednesday 24 July at 2.45pm and then at Western House Hotel
Our thoughts are with Ian, Helen & Richard and Family at this sad time

ISLAND OF SKYE showed a willing attitude when recording a narrow success on the back of a 170-day absence at Thirsk three weeks ago. That performance can be marked up given that he was held up off a slow pace and, should he take another step forward, a 2lb rise in more than manageable. Young Fire bumped into a progressive rival at Doncaster recently and has to be of significant interest along with Going Underground If turned out quickly following Saturday’s victory at Hamilton, Jumeira Vision commands the utmost respect in search of a four-timer. totewin: Island Of Skye

Mythical Phoenix deserves a change of luck having occupied the runner-up spot on each of his four starts for the Julie Camacho team. He’s considered nudged up a further 1lb in the ratings, but the unexposed ALFA KELLENIC is a sprinter on the up and she gets the vote. A comfortable winner at Thirsk on her handicap bow in June, she followed up in similar fashion at York a week later, suggesting she is surely capable of defying a hefty 9lb rise. Others to note include Aberama Gold and Batal Zabeel. totewin: Alfa Kellenic
TODAY’S TRAINER TO WATCH - JULIE CAMACHO
Julie saddles this season’s 4-times runner-up Mythical Phoenix in the Ayr Gold Cup Trial at 3.28 and the significance of that runner is the fact that the trainer saddled last year’s Ayr Gold Cup winner Significantly Camacho’s Gold Cup winner hasn’t been seen since finishing just a length and a half behind the winner in a Group 3 at Newmarket in May but the now 6 year-old has Group 1 entries at Haydock and the Curragh in September and is being prepared for another autumn campaign. Today’s runner has only been beaten a neck the last twice in races which have worked out well, but the 38,000 guineas Bellewstown maiden winner keeps sneaking up the handicap and today’s trial will give connections a handle on where he goes next.

RAMON DI LORIA looks set to make a bold bid having finished third at Carlisle latest. He was winning off a much higher rating at the same venue last season and it could be his turn again. Atomise will likely finish in the mix once more, despite finishing only third when sent off favourite here a week ago, while Earn Your Stripes won this contest in 2022 and is preferred to Water Of Leith of the rest. Giselles Izzy isn’t discounted either if backing up her Hamilton success on Saturday.

CODE PURPLE has slipped down the handicap ratings and took advantage to record a comfortable success at Musselburgh. He made every yard on that occasion and can defy a 6lb rise if allowed his own way at the head of affairs once again. Makalu has won three times over a mile already this year and can figure over this shorter distance, while Global Humor could bounce back to form at any time.

LEAP YEAR LAD bounced back to form in first-time blinkers when beaten only a neck at Nottingham. Kevin Ryan’s four-year-old can return to winning ways and prevent Empire Of Light from landing a double in the process. The latter returned a surprise 28/1 winner at Haydock last month and is expected to be competitive, despite a 5lb rise, while the more exposed pair, Hortzadar and Tilsitt, have a bit more to find off their current handicap marks.
