PHILOS – Ayr, 5.35 PM (NAP)
Philos, a four-year-old contender, is Brocklebank’s Nap of the Day, expected to dominate at Ayr following an impressive performance against a well-treated rival at Newcastle earlier this month. Despite not securing a turf win yet, Philos has shown promise in his few outings on the surface. Under the guidance of jockey Oisin Orr and with promising form that suggests more to come, Philos is tipped to excel in this race.

At Southwell, Kodebreaker is a horse that, despite a series of underwhelming performances, holds potential due to a lowered handicap mark. With Jason Hart as the jockey, the five-year-old could leverage his experience from a near win last month to excel at the mile-long track, presenting a solid opportunity to secure a place, if not a win, in this lower-tier competition.
WHITE UMBRELLA – Wolverhampton, 7.30 PM
In the later hours at Wolverhampton, White Umbrella emerges as a strong contender. The five-year-old mare has a history of success, including two wins last year, and demonstrated form in a recent race at this very track. With David Probert riding, she is expected to improve on her promising return this season, positioning her as a significant player in tonight’s race.
MARY OF MODENA – Windsor, 8.09 PM
Lastly, Mary of Modena, racing at Windsor, returns to a preferred setting where she has previously tasted victory. With conditions suited to her strengths and only a slight increase in handicap since her last win, she remains a competitive choice for this evening’s finale, potentially delivering another standout performance under jockey Paddy Bradley.
