14.15 British EBF Restricted Novice Stakes
AMERICAN STYLE’s head-second at Leicester was boosted when the winner Pentle Bay subsequently finished runner-up in the Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot. That is the best form on offer, so with more to come, Kevin Ryan’s charge should be able to go one better.
Tips: American Style
14.45 BresBet Rewards Loyalty Handicap
THE CRAFTY MOLE is unbeaten in two starts over this trip and made it three wins from his past four starts with a comfortable victory at Yarmouth last Friday. Even with a 6lb penalty to shoulder, he’s the one to beat. Of the remaining representatives, SHADOWOFYOURSMILE could improve for the step up in trip now eased in grade.

15.15 British EBF Novice Stakes
The Reverend looked good when winning on debut at Newmarket eight months ago, but the race-fit THUNDER RUN might have his measure on this occasion. Karl Burke’s participant made a promising start to his career when second at Wetherby 22 days ago and could be hard to beat with potential for better.
Tips: Thunder Run
15.45 Weatherbys ePassport Handicap (Div 1)
GEORGIE WOOSTER had plenty in hand when scoring at Redcar on handicap debut last time, and despite being hit with a 9lb rise for that success, this three-year-old should remain competitive. Bottom-weight BITS AND BOBS has fallen to a career-low mark and could outrun his odds if the first-time visor does the trick.
Tips: Georgie Wooster, Bits And Bobs
16.20 Weatherbys ePassport Handicap (Div 2)
Rated as high as 88 two years ago, KING’S CROWN offered a potential revival when keeping on well to finish sixth at Chester last time out and could be the answer to this wide-open contest off a 2lb lower mark. Ed Walker’s ARNAZ made a winning handicap debut at Brighton two starts ago and is feared most.
Tips: King’s Crown, Arnaz
16.55 Weatherbys Global Stallions App Handicap
FIRST FOLIO finished a solid third over C&D last September off a 7lb higher mark and is now 10lb below his last winning mark, so he’s extremely well-handicapped at present. STRONG JOHNSON is lurking on a dangerous mark, though, and the bottom-weight looks very interesting, with David Allan booked to ride.
Tips: First Folio, Strong Johnson
