Preview: Charlie Appleby has trained three of the last six winners of this contest and DESERT CASTLE could enhance that record. The Frankel colt is a brother to a Group 1 winner and a couple of fancy entries next month suggest he's been showing all the right signs at home. Farasan is closely related to stablemate and Group 3 winner Oxagon. He could prove competitive, while Sommood and Hierax are others to note.

Info: ALL RACES: Commingled Win, Place, Exacta, Swinger, Trifecta, Quartet.
SA pools R1 unit; minimum bet R6. COMMINGLED bets no fractional betting, R1 unit; minimum bet R6 except SWINGER R2. EACHWAY bet of R3 Win and R3 Place, as well as 3-horse EXACTA Box or 4-horse SWINGER Box for R6 can be taken. 3-horse Trifecta Box costs R6 (6 combinations @ R1 each). UK Tote Rules: SWINGER = only if 6 or more carded; payout FIRST TWO if 4 or 5 runners; refund if less than 4. QUARTET = carryover if less than 4 finishers. PLACE = less than 5 runners No PLACE betting; 5-7 runners payouts FIRST, SECOND; Handicap race 8-15 payouts FIRST, SECOND, THIRD; 16 or more payouts FIRST, SECOND, THIRD, FOURTH. Non-Handicaps 8 runners or more payouts FIRST, SECOND, THIRD. If any bet includes number higher than 30, call bet to teller. Do not use the betting form. If more than 37 carded TAB operates SA pools on race and all runners numbered 38 and higher are bracketed as Number 37, which can only qualify once for dividend purposes. If commingled pools only on race, no TAB betting.

Betting Forecast: 13-8 DESERT CASTLE; 11-4 FARASAN; 9-2 HIERAX; 5-1 SOMMOOD; 12-1 AND UPWARDS OTHERS.

Preview: ZARAKOVA took a big step forward when filling the runner-up spot over 7f at Epsom. Picked off in the final furlong having attempted to make all on that occasion, Andrew Balding's filly steps up in trip and could prove too strong. 900,000gns purchase Oh Sweet Adare is a sister to a Listed winner and can't be ruled out on debut with her yard in excellent form, whilst fellow newcomer Lily Pink is preferred to Bint Palace Pier of the remaining pair.

Info: ALL RACES: Commingled Win, Place, Exacta, Swinger, Trifecta, Quartet.
SA pools R1 unit; minimum bet R6. COMMINGLED bets no fractional betting, R1 unit; minimum bet R6 except SWINGER R2. EACHWAY bet of R3 Win and R3 Place, as well as 3-horse EXACTA Box or 4-horse SWINGER Box for R6 can be taken. 3-horse Trifecta Box costs R6 (6 combinations @ R1 each).

PLACE = less than 5 runners No PLACE betting; 5-7 runners payouts FIRST, SECOND; Handicap race 8-15 payouts FIRST, SECOND, THIRD; 16 or more payouts FIRST, SECOND, THIRD, FOURTH.

Preview: NABATI boasts the strongest piece of form. The Yarmouth maiden winner showed considerable improvement when missing out by only a neck in Listed company at Newbury next time and the Night Of Thunder colt could prove hard to stop at this lower level. Tawakal rates the main danger based on his highly encouraging debut success at Nottingham, while newcomer Al Widyan heads the remainder.

Info: ALL RACES: Commingled Win, Place, Exacta, Swinger, Trifecta, Quartet.

Preview: The veteran SPRING BLOOM has been showing his younger counterparts how it's done recently. John Butler's gelding arrives having notched up a brace of C&D wins last month and can go in again under a 4lb penalty. Havana Blue would be a deserved winner having twice struck the woodwork at Ascot, and don't rule out Fiscal Policy, whose two latest efforts have come in a pair of fiercely competitive York affairs.

Info: ALL RACES: Commingled Win, Place, Exacta, Swinger, Trifecta, Quartet.

Gross Stake: R228 299 1st R121 480 2nd R56 969 3rd R28 496 4th R14 236 5th R7 118

Preview: Areti got her day in the sun in a Redcar novice last month and remains capable of a bit better returned to handicaps, but MELODICAL might be the value. Ed Walker's filly goes handicapping following a 302-day absence, over a trip that should suit her better, and it is perhaps noteworthy that Oisin Murphy gets aboard for the first time. Hilltop has held her form well since winning at Newcastle and is another for the shortlist.

Info: ALL RACES: Commingled Win, Place, Exacta, Swinger, Trifecta, Quartet.
SA pools R1 unit; minimum bet R6. COMMINGLED bets no fractional betting, R1 unit; minimum bet R6 except SWINGER R2. EACHWAY bet of R3 Win and R3 Place, as well as 3-horse EXACTA Box or 4-horse SWINGER Box for R6 can be taken. 3-horse Trifecta Box costs R6 (6 combinations @ R1 each). UK Tote Rules: SWINGER = only if 6 or more carded; payout FIRST TWO if 4 or 5 runners; refund if less than 4. QUARTET = carryover if less than 4 finishers. PLACE = less than 5 runners No PLACE betting; 5-7 runners payouts FIRST, SECOND; Handicap race 8-15 payouts FIRST, SECOND, THIRD; 16 or more payouts FIRST, SECOND, THIRD, FOURTH. Non-Handicaps 8 runners or more payouts FIRST, SECOND, THIRD. If any bet includes number higher than 30, call bet to teller. Do not use the betting form. If more than 37 carded TAB operates SA pools on race and all runners numbered 38 and higher are bracketed as Number 37, which can only qualify once for dividend purposes. If commingled pools only on race, no TAB betting.

Betting Forecast: 11-4 ARETI; 3-1 HILLTOP; 10-3 ROGUE CITATION; 5-1 ALBESEEINGYER; 7-1 MELODICAL; 12-1 AND UPWARDS OTHERS.

: None.

Gross Stake: R228 299 1st R121 480 2nd R56 969 3rd R28 496 4th R14 236 5th R7 118

Preview: All three of these have a chance, not least the hat-trick seeking Shimmering Sands, who was really impressive when bolting up at Pontefract last time. An 8lb rise doesn't look too harsh, but the presence of LUCKY HERO might foil his bid for glory. David O'Meara's charge has only attempted 1m2f twice and the latest of them resulted in a clearcut Redcar triumph. He escapes a penalty for that apprentice handicap win and is taken to find further improvement. Blue Noon might be booked for third.

Info: ALL RACES: Commingled Win, Place, Exacta, Swinger, Trifecta, Quartet.
SA pools R1 unit; minimum bet R6. COMMINGLED bets no fractional betting, R1 unit; minimum bet R6 except SWINGER R2. EACHWAY bet of R3 Win and R3 Place, as well as 3-horse EXACTA Box or 4-horse SWINGER Box for R6 can be taken. 3-horse Trifecta Box costs R6 (6 combinations @ R1 each). UK Tote Rules: SWINGER = only if 6 or more carded; payout FIRST TWO if 4 or 5 runners; refund if less than 4. QUARTET = carryover if less than 4 finishers. PLACE = less than 5 runners No PLACE betting; 5-7 runners payouts FIRST, SECOND; Handicap race 8-15 payouts FIRST, SECOND, THIRD; 16 or more payouts FIRST, SECOND, THIRD, FOURTH. Non-Handicaps 8 runners or more payouts FIRST, SECOND, THIRD. If any bet includes number higher than 30, call bet to teller. Do not use the betting form. If more than 37 carded TAB operates SA pools on race and all runners numbered 38 and higher are bracketed as Number 37, which can only qualify once for dividend purposes. If commingled pools only on race, no TAB betting.

Betting Forecast: 10-11 SHIMMERING SANDS; 6-4 LUCKY HERO; 11-2 BLUE NOON

: None.
