ITV Racing is back for four days starting on Thursday and the action begins with a nursery handicap for juveniles over an extended 6f. When I was at Windsor on Monday, Richard Spencer and Saffie Osborne picked up SPEED OF SOUND as a horse they were really looking forward to running at Doncaster this week. The daughter of Sioux Nation was a decent winner at Yarmouth two runs ago and then was far from disgraced, albeit well stuffed, by the Group 1 winner Sun Goddess in a valuable event at York. She acts with a bit of juice in the ground and is clearly highly regarded, having had some fancy entries along the way. Must have a decent chance.

Here’s a sales race for youngsters over an extended 6f. I can’t see any reason why NIGHT IN VEGAS won’t take all the beating for Charlie Bishop and Eve Johnson Houghton. Rated 102 and only having to carry 8st 11lb, Night in Vegas is a clear pick on form and he banged in a similar event to this at Newmarket last time. Prior to that he was third in the Group 2 Richmond Stakes and a fine fifth to Great Barrier Reef in the Coventry at Royal Ascot. It’s his to lose.

A handicap for three-year-olds over 1m2f. BOURBON BLUES probably doesn’t have anything in hand off a handicap mark of 101 but he’s bang in form for Brian Meehan and Ryan Moore. A fine sixth at Royal Ascot in the Golden Gates Handicap, the son of Space Blues was an excellent second at Glorious Goodwood and a slightly hampered third to Raammee at York. That’s decent handicap form and he goes on any ground. A decent each-way selection.

15:00 Consent (each-way)

Up in class now for the Group 2 Park Hill for fillies and mares over an extended 1m6f. CONSENT has not been at her best this season and she has ground to make up on Waardah from their effort at Goodwood last time. However, conditions are ideal for the Sir Mark Prescott Group 1 heroine, and she gets cheekpieces for the first time, which might just spark her up a bit. Luke Morris is on top and I’ll chance her each-way.

The Group 2 May Hill for two-year-olds over 1m. BALLYSKEAGH appears to be a very strong stayer at this trip and finished off really well at the Curragh last time in Group 3 company. She was held on to that day but prior to that had looked very happy going forward so tactics are not important to her. The daughter of Gleaneagles will need more here, but she’s progressing nicely and at the time of writing is an each-way price. I find it hard to kick her out the frame and she can easily win. Joseph O’Brien trains with Joey Sheridan on top.

So best of luck and pray for Yeeehaaas. You hear me Paddy?
