LERMOOS LEGEND (8.10 Cartmel, nap)
Can keep it in the family at his favourite track. Champion jockey Sean Bowen teams up with brother Mickey on this 10-year-old who has two wins and a host of placed efforts at this quirky Cumbrian track. He went close at Ffos Las last time and gets an upgrade in the saddle today.
ORIENTAL PRINCE (4.00 Hamilton, nb)
Is a regular winner who got his head in front again at Haydock 18 days ago. He has lots of pace so this drop back in distance isn't a worry, especially with some cut back in the ground. Trainer Jim Goldie is in excellent form.
TURQUINO (8.22 Kempton, treble)
Showed promise when winning two maidens on the sand. He didn't get the run of the race on his turf handicap debut at Ascot and can take a big step forward.
A WAR EAGLE (2.30 Hamilton, Lucky 15)
He has shown promise for trainer Ed Bethell in three maidens and goes handicapping from a fair mark of 72. He'll enjoy this step up to a mile.

See hero horse trainer's WILD act as he risked his life to save others during a race gone horribly wrong
A renowned trainer has been hailed a hero after distracting a rogue horse which had broken free from its attendant and was galloping towards other entrants on the track mid-race. Morphettville trainer Darryl Carrison was watching one of his own runners in the first race when he acted on instinct in truly astonishing scenes from Quorn in South Australia on Saturday. Carrison - who has trained more than 400 winners in his decorated career - noticed After, a late scratching from the first race, was suddenly riderless. A 'complete disaster' was about to unfold if After wasn't quickly distracted. 'I was (frantically) waving my jumper to get it off the rail so it would go out wide,' Carrison told News Corp. 'I made it veer off the track. I reckon he would have met them (the other horses) if I hadn't done that at about 50 metres in front of the winning post. 'If it was on the rail, half of them wouldn't have seen it, so who knows what would have happened. 'It would have been like a head-on (collision) in my opinion.' Quorn Jockey Club president Dean Montgomerie also heaped praise on Carrison. 'He is a great horseman, so he had the confidence (to do what he did),' Montgomerie said. 'He showed willingness to divert what could have been a fatal incident.' Remarkably, no one was harmed during the terrifying incident, with After later returning to the mounting enclosure unhurt. In an added twist, the Garret Lynch-trained Lai Flipper appeared to have the maiden over 1200 metres sewn up - but stewards later declared the race void. It meant apprentice Rachael Kraemer, in the first ride of her career, was denied a debut winner.

How to look as majestic as your horse — luxury equestrian essentials
Though most view horse riding as a sport that involves perfectly appointed steeds, summery frocks and gentlemen in tweed, hardened riders know that the practicalities of life as an equestrian can sometimes be less glamorous. I've been riding almost as long as I've been walking and have found it common to meet people like me sporting riding attire with holes in the thigh, horsehair in the pockets and a subtle aroma of manure so deeply embedded into the fabric's fibres that a million washes can't save them. Growing up, I figured that if my horse was groomed to within an inch of his life and dressed to the nines, who cared what I looked like? He was always the beauty, and I was just the giddy slob who sat atop him. • This article contains affiliate links that will earn us revenue Recently, I've changed my tune after realising how fabulous riding gear can be. For the first time it's made me consider that trying to match my horse's beauty might be worthwhile. There are glamorous Hugo Boss jodhpurs and thoughtfully designed Hermès jackets to wear after all. Follow this list of luxury equestrian essentials, and you too can make your pony proud with your stylish gear. Advertising feature For comfort both in and out of the saddle invest in a pair of these high-waisted riding leggings. Designed for maximum movement with stretch fabric and body-contouring compression, you'll barely realise you're wearing anything at all. Choosing a good quality pair of leggings (rather than jodhpurs) feels like a naughty life hack. Rushing off to do chores post ride? No one will notice you've come straight from the stables if you're sporting a pair of leggings. £69, Holland Cooper For non-equestrians, a riding hat could scream more bobblehead than fashionista but the equestrians among us will know that, after your horse, your riding hat is the star of the show. Charles Owen is the king of helmets. This particular helmet is part of its performance range, in celebration of its 110th anniversary, so it would be just as appreciated out on a hack as it would in the show ring. £492.50, Charles Owen at GS Equestrian You may, quite understandably, assume the name LeMieux comes from the French translation for 'the best', but this is merely a happy accident. Named after the former professional event rider, Robert and his wife Lisa LeMieux (co-founders), this company has quickly become one of the best-known equestrian brands in the UK since it opened in 2006. Designed for comfort across all disciplines, these field boots are crafted using premium leather and an X-grip rubber sole (to reduce your chance of a foot-slipping faux pas mid-fence). £219.95, Lemieux at R&R Country Holland Cooper was founded with the idea of creating timeless fashion that goes beyond seasons, trends and functionality. This polo shirt checks all those boxes. Whether you wear it to ride, muck out or just potter about, you'll have that chic country look. The tailored slim fit made from a slightly stretchy cotton means it's not only flattering but comfy too. £59, Holland Cooper You would be hard pressed to find a country girl who didn't own or lust after a pair of Dubarry boots. There are many designs and colours but if you are after tradition, the Galway Ladies Country Boot is the one. Whether you are traipsing through a muddy meadow or strutting through town, you will undoubtedly look très chic in these waterproof leather boots. £379, Galway at Dubarry of Ireland Just imagine how much easier morning feed time would be in the crisp chill of winter with one of these snuggly fleeces. While style and comfort don't always go hand in hand, this soft-touch Training Henley jumper defies expectations. A funnel neckline with sherpa interior makes for maximum warmth yet the quarter-zip opening gives it a stylish feel. £79, Holland Cooper There is no excuse to be a fair-weather rider with this raincoat. To ensure it's completely and utterly watertight, all seams are tape-sealed and storm plackets protect the zippers. A detachable front piece means you and your saddle are shielded from the elements. And when those dreaded dark clouds block the sun and rain tints the sky grey, the reflective tapes, logo prints and pipings decorating the jacket keep you and your steed visible for safety. £249.95, Stierna at GS Equestrian Unlike a lot of back protectors, this Equitheme Airbag body protector actually lets you breathe. Like an airbag for a car, this product is designed to help protect your upper body in a fall. Designed to be lightweight, adjustable and easily reset, it has a rapid inflation speed (of 115ms for size M). A connection strap, linked to the saddle, activates the gas cartridge that quickly fills the jacket with air — giving the rider a softer landing when separated from their steed (or if you forget to detach yourself when you dismount). £459, Equitheme at GS Equestrian It is tricky to find a jacket that is chic, waterproof and easy to ride in. However, Hermès has done it. Usually you must come to terms with the fact that however showerproof your jacket claims to be, your legs will still be drenched through to the bone when the rain inevitably pours mid-hack. This jacket, however, has leg straps with stirrup buckles so your legs will stay as warm and dry as the rest of you. £2,570, Hermès For showjumping, you'll want a shorter — and probably slim-fitted — jacket to allow for optimum movement when your horse glides over the fence (ideally carrying you with him). Where better to get your competition jacket than Hermès? Developed with the company's partner riders, this tailored sporty fit jacket is designed for the highest level of comfort and durability. £1,860, Hermès Tradition states that showing jackets should be tweed. This elegant riding jacket from Holland Cooper is hand cut and crafted in England using wools woven in Scotland. Plus the chic blue collar complements the faint blue and red plaid pattern. £399, Holland Cooper If you want to show everyone you mean business, what better way than with designer breeches? Hugo Boss have created suave white breeches, made with breathable fabric, perfect for competition. Full grip on the inner leg means that your bum can stay firmly glued to the saddle even when your pony has a little too much spring in its step. £229, Hugo Boss Not only is this competition shirt cute as a button with its stylish embroidered detailing, it is also made with breathable stretch fabric to keep you cool even when you're feeling a little flushed from the nerves. £54.95, HKM at GS Equestrian Kask have created a smart venting system integrated into this helmet so that your head is one thing you don't have to worry about overheating in the summer sun. While peaked helmets look sleek, they aren't allowed for every discipline — namely cross country. If eventing is your forte, you'll want the peakless jockey helmet (otherwise known as a skull cap) so this one will do quite nicely. £350, Kask at R&R Country If you are looking for a boot to get you through all three eventing elements, the sumptuous leather Tredstep boot has chic elastic lacing for optimum movement, curved patterns for anatomical fit and sophisticated detailing so that you can enter that arena looking and feeling like a winner. £369, Tredstep at GS Equestrian The Times Luxury is brought to you by the award-winning team behind the Times Luxx magazine.

He's been turned out six days later by Archie Watson under a 5lb penalty that won't put the brakes on. ANGEL ON HIGH (3.15 Brighton, nb) Got the job done nicely at Leicester last time and looks capable of following up for trainer Adrian Wintle.
