Uttoxeter’s feature on a jam-packed Wednesday afternoon sees Northern Bound take on the likes of Jet Smart and Salley Gardens, live on Sky Sports Racing.
3.38 Uttoxeter – Veteran Northern Bound faces in-form Jet Smart
A super JAL Roofing Handicap Chase for the Grade sees veteran Northern Bound bid for an 11th career success.
Ben Pauling’s 11-year-old scored off 4lbs lower at Worcester in May and will be popular to build on that under Ben Jones.
Jet Smart arrives on the back of a red-hot streak both in point-to-points and back under rules after a comfortable victory at Worcester. Given the way he won, and with the third winning since, he could be tough to beat.
Champion jockey Sean Bowen gets onboard Salley Gardens, who was pulled up on his first outing for Jake Thomas Coulson recently. Stepping slightly down in distance, he enters calculations despite retaining the same mark of 119.
8.30 Ffos Las – Whatsgoingonmarvin bids for a quick-fire treble
All eyes will be on Whatsgoingonmarvin in this Stablesoft Handicap at Ffos Las.
The Sir Mark Prescott-trained three-year-old is two wins from two since tackling handicap company after wins at Ayr and Chester. He escapes a penalty for the latter of those wins and should take this on his way to loftier targets.
Respiro Solitario heads the dangers for William Muir and Chris Grassick. Having failed to win in nine starts, he justified favouritism when stepped up in distance at Wolverhampton last month and will hope to go in again under Lewis Edmunds.
Of the others, Honour Whim may outrun his odds under Rossa Ryan having been dropped 2lbs to a mark of 64.
8.40 Yarmouth – Daring Legend and Stardancer headline
Daring Legend and Stardancer headline a trappy-looking Doublebase Handicap at Yarmouth.
Michael Appleby’s Daring Legend has finished in the frame on his last five starts including when beaten favourite and just a neck behind Grand Traverse at Doncaster. He must be feared off the same mark here with Mason Paetel claiming 5lb.
Stardancer, one of three three-year-olds in here, showed a good level of form in novice races before finishing third over this distance at Doncaster. That was his first start after a gelding operation and a similar effort will see him go close.
Back over his favoured seven furlongs, Noble Guest will look to be in the mix with the in-form David Egan booked.
Best of the rest
Despite carrying a 6lb penalty, Iwantmytimewithyou will be popular under Hector Crouch for Bath’s Wiltshire And Bath Air Ambulance Handicap at 3.50pm. Ed Dunlop’s charge steps up in trip after a facile success at Ripon the last day and will take all the beating, despite the presence of David Simcock’s Captain Brett.
At Uttoxeter, Alex Chadwick’s 5lb claim could prove useful aboard Forget The Way in the Ken Boulton Memorial Handicap Hurdle at 4.08pm. A comfortable winner the last day at Huntingdon, the James Owen-trained eight-year-old carries top weight against Callin Baton Rouge (James Bowen) and Soleil d’Arizona (Harry Skelton) – who both scored on their latest start.
Ffos Las is the venue for the 6.35pm Tax Assist Accountants Llanelli / EBF Maiden Stakes, which sees Carefree – a Wootton Bassett filly by Mythic – take on a plethora of nice-looking debutants. Of those with experience, Harry Charlton’s First Time will enter calculations if he can improve after finishing second at Salisbury recently.
A half-sister to Lincoln winner Johan, Desert Treasure – debuting for William Haggas – is of interest in the 6.40pm Diomed EBF Restricted Maiden Stakes before Kaleido goes in search of a maiden win half an hour later.
Across the English channel, the Grand Prix de Vichy (8.15pm) takes centre stage, with Tito Mo Cen and Woodchuck the headline runners.
Watch every race from Uttoxeter, Bath, Yarmouth and Ffos Las – live on Sky Sports Racing on Wednesday July 16.

Cal Raleigh was just as successful with the first robot umpire All-Star challenge as he was in Monday night's Home Run Derby, in which he slugged his way to the championship.Seattle's catcher signaled for an appeal to the Automated Ball-Strike System in the first inning of the National League's win Tuesday night, getting a strikeout for Detroit's Tarik Skubal on San Diego's Manny Machado."You take ‘em any way you can get ’em, boys," Skubal said on the mound.

Explaining MLB All-Star Game swing-off: Where were Aaron Judge, Shohei Ohtani, Cal Raleigh and other sluggers?
The National League bested the American League Tuesday night at Truist Park in Atlanta in one of the most entertaining All-Star Games in quite some time. The AL erased a 6-0 deficit in the final three innings, putting them in position for what would have been the largest comeback win in All-Star Game history, but the NL prevailed in the tiebreaker swing-off. "We finally beat these guys. They seemed to have our number over the last decade," Dodgers and NL manager Dave Roberts said about the senior circuit winning for only the second time in the last 12 All-Star Games. "But there's just a lot of talent in both leagues. But tonight, we got the best of them." The swing-off tiebreaker rule was put in place in 2022 as a way to avoid boring ties and burning through pitchers. Tuesday was […]

Week 1 NFL best bets to make before lines move: Projecting the trendy picks the market will soon be all over
The sports world is officially in its lull with the Home Run Derby and All-Star Game in the books and no MLB action until Friday. The WNBA offers some interesting action Wednesday night before hitting its own All-Star break, while the Open Championship starts Thursday at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland. With the light schedule, it's the perfect time to start thinking about NFL betting, particularly the plays worth making before major attention turns toward the Week 1 spreads and the value available on certain teams.I have already locked in my favorite Week 1 play over at SportsLine, where I am 718-623-37 on against the spread picks since the start of 2017. However, there are a few games that I think the market will see and hop on a particular side, moving the line to a less profitable number for […]
NBA free agency 2025: The 7 best contracts of the summer, including a gem of a deal for the Lakers
We brought you the NBA offseason's seven worst contracts, and we know you could not possibly feel complete without the summer's seven best contracts. Never fear, my friends. Here, we complete you.Kudos to general managers for once again not doling out dozens of overpriced deals in free agency. Of course, it helps that only one team, the Brooklyn Nets, entered July with significant salary cap space, and they were more interested in accumulating other teams' bad money in exchange for more draft capital.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementInstead, NBA executives mostly had mid-level exceptions and minimum contracts to address their needs, and that served them well in the open market, where a number of them were able to identify some gems.THE 2025 OFFSEASON'S 7 BEST CONTRACTS1.

The incident involved sprint car racer Chase Johnson, who was paralyzed after suffering multiple vertebrae fractures in a crash at Silver Dollar Speedway last August.According to a now-deleted post from Chase Johnson Racing's Facebook page, Johnson and his wife had been leaving the racetrack to head back to their truck in the handicap parking lot, which was located in a different area than the track's standard parking lots, and had been instructed by a security guard at the top of pit road to go down to the exit of the pit road area towards turn 11.
