NOTABLE SPEECH (2.35 Newbury, nap)
He proved himself high-class over a mile last season, winning the 2,000 Guineas and Sussex Stakes either side of a blip at Royal Ascot. He finished the season going close in the Breeders' Cup Mile and loves fast ground. He's gone well fresh and can kick off this season with a win.
IDES OF MARCH (1.25 Newbury, nb)
The Aidan O'Brien hopeful was an easy Group 3 winner at The Curragh last year and will take plenty of stopping. He's fit from a solid comeback run at Navan and the trip suits perfectly.
WALEEFY (1.05 Newmarket, treble)
He looks primed to strike back over his ideal trip after finding 6f too sharp at Goodwood. He was entitled to be a bit rusty on comeback too and should be a lot sharper for in-form William Haggas.

Drop in trip should suit Comanche Brave at Leopardstown
The feature on Thursday evening's card in Leopardstown is the Group 3 Barberstown Castle Stakes and Comanche Brave can build on a fine effort in the Irish 2,000 Guineas by claiming victory here. In the colts' classic, Donnacha O'Brien's horse outran his odds of 50-1 by finishing fifth behind Field Of Gold. That was his first try at a mile and while he probably stays the trip well enough, the return to seven furlongs is a positive at this stage of his career. If we look back one more race, to his seasonal debut, he finished runner-up to Henri Matisse in a Group 3 over Thursday's course and distance, and the winner gave that form a fine boost by winning the French 2000 Guineas on his next start. Everything points to Comanche Brave being a progressive sort, and he should take a great deal of beating. Ryan Moore takes over in the saddle and can get him home in front, with Cowardofthecounty the one to chase him home. At much bigger odds, Easy could reach the frame. The nap goes to Shakazia, who can continue the good run of trainer Johnny Murtagh by taking the second race, the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies' Maiden. Quite well beaten but certainly not disgraced on her only start at two, she made her return little over a month ago and produced a much-improved display to finish runner-up behind the useful Sound Of Lightning. There was a bunch finish for the places in that races, which makes the form more difficult to assess, but she did well to finish so close considering she was keen early and had to make plenty of ground from off the pace. This does not look to be the strongest of races and a little progress from that outing, which can be expected, ought to be enough to help her earn her stripes. San Aer is without a win since late 2023 but Tom Mullins' gelding ran well in defeat in a premier handicap on his most recent start and will find 'The 1878 At 3Arena' Apprentice Handicap a more manageable affair. He is preferred to Lady Lunette, who was disappointing last time out but would be a leading player if return to her best form.

Horse racing tips: ‘A win would secure his place at Royal Ascot' – Templegate's 6-1 NAP for the Osbornes
TEMPLEGATE takes on Thursday's action looking for winners. Back a horse by clicking their odds below. HICKORY (4.25 Newbury, nap) Jamie Osborne's flyer was a game winner of Ascot's Victoria Cup before getting a bump at the start at Sandown last time. That meant he was way out the back before flying home to hit the frame. He could do with another win to secure his place in the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot and has every chance. HARRYELLA (8.00 Chelmsford, nb) Was an impressive winner on his last visit to this Essex track and didn't get a clear run when second at Wolverhampton last time. He's got more to offer and this longer trip will suit in-form James Fanshawe's hopeful. DEEP WATER BAY (4.33 Nottingham, treble) Was a typical Sir Mark Prescott improver when winning on handicap debut when stepping up in trip. He has an extra quarter-mile in front of him today which should see him take another big leap forward.

David Beckham to guest edit edition of Country Life Magazine
David Beckham will guest edit an edition of Country Life Magazine to mark his 50th birthday year. The former England captain and businessman will join the editorial team for the 22 October edition of the magazine with the aim of celebrating what the countryside means to him and his family. He follows in the footsteps of Royal Family members who previously joined the editor-in chief Mark Hedges at the helm, including the King, the Princess Royal and the Queen. Beckham said: "I am honoured to have been invited to guest edit an edition of a magazine that I have always admired and read. "I am really looking forward to working with the editorial team to produce an issue that will celebrate what the countryside and the great British landscape means to me and my family." This comes as Beckham is to be awarded a knighthood in the King's Birthday Honours, according to reports by The Sun. The football star regularly documents his life in the countryside by posting pictures and videos on his Instagram including him harvesting vegetables, gardening and his flock of chickens. Mark Hedges, Country Life editor-in-chief, said: "I know he has a deep love of the countryside, which has grown since he retired as a professional footballer, although he is, of course, still extremely busy as a businessman and an ambassador for a host of causes, such as UNICEF and The King's Foundation, as well as being co-owner of Inter Miami CF in the US and Salford City Football Club in the UK. "As someone who is passionate about the countryside, I'm excited to see what his special commemorative issue will bring." The one-off edition aims to highlight how the countryside has played an important part in Beckham's life. It will feature his favourite view, his best-loved recipe and spotlight his rural champions, including the craftsmen and woman who helped shape his home in the Cotswolds. Beckham, who played for England 115 times, is the only Englishman to score at three different World Cups and his career included the treble-winning campaign of 1998-99, when Manchester United won the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League. He earned the third highest number of England caps of all time for the men's team and was captain on 59 occasions. The former winger married Spice Girl Victoria, also known as Posh Spice, in 1999.
