Horse Racing: Following Ragsah to riches is anything but a Sham at Newmarket

Godolphin's filly has only won once this season, but that statistic would have been increasingly bolstered had Lady Luck been on her side.

Saeed bin Suroor's juvenile has finished second on three other outings, including on her debut behind Sweet Cecily, who reopposes in this Listed heat. Although no match for Richard Hannon's representative on that occasion, she has improved out of sight since that pipe-opener in June. Her second-place finish in the Firth of Clyde at Ayr neatly emphasises that point, as Ragsah finished a brave second, staying on strongly inside the final furlong.

Her best effort to date, however, was in the Group One Cheveley Park, over course and distance, in which she finished fourth from a wide position.

Crucially, the chestnut daughter of Shamardal, will be able to handle whatever conditions come her way at Headquarters.

Zahoo should also go well in the EBF Newmarket Racecourses Thanks John Taylor Fillies' Handicap. John Dunlop's filly remains competitive off a mark of 82, and will be in her element stepping back up to a mile and a half.

Standard stuff at Wolverhampton's evening meeting, where Avertor can be followed with a shade of confidence in the CE Risk, Safety & Security Handicap. Roger Charlton's unexposed four-year-old makes an intriguing drop in class and trip, and remains reasonably weighted. He also hails from a yard very much on top of their form.

Good racing at Wetherby, showcasing an eye-catching Listed race - the bet365 Handicap Chase - and it could go to Bible Lord for a second successive year on bare form alone while 147-rated hurdler Micheal Flips take his chance in the Army Cadet Force Beginners' Chase at Uttoxeter.
