TODAY’S TIPS

Race One

Sky Wizard made a pleasing start when third in a novice at Windsor 15 days ago and is likely to make further progress However, the votes goes to well-bred newcomer EQUITY LAW, who is a half-brother to Desert Cop, Desert Law and Top Cop, who were all effective over this trip

WIN: EQUITY LAW

Race Two

DANGER: SKY WIZARD

DRAGON LEADER, who is closely related to useful sprinter Exclusively, who made a winning start to her own racing career, looks the most appealing of the debutants and may be worth chancing to make an immediate impact He represents a yard which has done well with it's two-year-olds on turf this season. Likleman is another newcomer to bear in mind with Oisin Murphy in the saddle, while Conde appeals most of those with previous experience.

WIN: DRAGON LEADER

Race Three

DANGER: LIKLEMAN

PRINCESS NAOMI wasn't beaten far when she was second over C&D 26 days ago and, given the form has been boosted by the winner going in again since, she rates as a serious player off the same mark Jimmy Lifestyle runs for a yard that traditionally does well here and is another to carefully monitor in the betting, while Lahina Bay also showed promise on her return from a break and warrants consideration too.

WIN: PRINCESS NAOMI

Race Four

DANGER: JIMMY LIFESTYLE

Although both Equatorial and Lion Tamer finished second last time out, they were beaten four and six lengths respectively and they may have to give way to the once-raced TALIS EVOLVERE Third on his only start as a juvenile at Nottingham, the winner franked the form when taking the Group 3 Dick Poole Stakes here last September and, although not seen this year, his stable is in good form.

WIN: TALIS EVOLVERE

Race Five

DANGER: EQUATORIAL

Although Ascraeus runs from 5lb out of the handicap, she has won both runnings of this race and that makes her difficult to ignore. She could go well, but preference is for the hat-trick seeking CONFILS, who is upped in class after wins at Brighton but is happier than some of these on the forecast quick ground. Lordsbridge Girl is another to consider after being denied a clear run when third at Yarmouth.

WIN: CONFILS

Race Six

DANGER:ASCRAEUS

Roaring Legend has hit a top-three finish on all five starts, but was beaten over seven lengths at Ripon in May and tries a new trip and cheekpieces looking to go one better. Talisman caught the eye when fifth on his Newbury debut and could improve for the experience, but LIABLE tops the shortlist. Slowly away at Yarmouth on his second start, he ran on into third and any further progress may be enough.

WIN: LIABLE

Race Seven

DANGER: TALISMAN

A comfortable winner at Redcar last time out on her handicap debut, SPRING FEVER remains unexposed and a 7lb rise may not be enough to halt her progress Alba Longa arrives with similar claims following a taking success at Windsor over further, while Spirit Of The Bay bounced back to winning ways in some style at Haydock last month. Timeless Melody and Totnes are capable of being in the mix too.

WIN: SPRING FEVER

Race Eight

DANGER: ALBA LONGA

SEA OF CHARM was competing in Listed company when last in action on the Flat and she could be the one to beat on her first start for new connections The daughter of Charm Spirit looks to be fairly handicapped and she is narrowly preferred to the capable Lucky's Dream, and Spring Glow, who is entitled to improve on her comeback run at Newbury last month.

WIN: SEA OF CHARM

DANGER: SPRING GLOW
