13:30 Chepstow Handicap (Class 6) 8f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (3.5/1 +22%) Marsh Benham	3.5 3.5/1(+22%)	(8) Marsh Benham 3.5/1, Bit below form sixth of 13 in handicap (9/1) at Bath (8f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Can make presence felt. Shaped pretty well on his comeback and is one of the more interesting runners.
2	10 2nd (10) (7.5/1 +6%) Bantry	7.5 7.5/1(+6%)	(10) Bantry 7.5/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, below form sixth of 12 in maiden at Dundalk (7f, 11/1). Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving John Joseph Murphy. Market check advised. Failed to win in Ireland; market support preferable before he's considered.
3	6 3rd (6) (3.2/1 +9%) Eye Of The Water	3.2 3.2/1(+9%)	(6) Eye Of The Water 3.2/1, Resumed winning ways when narrowly taking 12-runner handicap at Bath (8f, soft) 15 days ago. Just 3 lb higher now and should go well again. Has run well here a few times without winning; can't be any complaints about a 3lb rise.
4	2 4th (2) (10/1 -100%) Caribou	10 10/1(-100%)	(2) Caribou 10/1, 22/1, last of 10 in handicap at Goodwood (8f, good). Off 7 months. Best watched. Barely seen for this yard last year but is worth a look in the market at this lower level.
5th	5 5th (5) (5/1 +41%) Alyara	5 5/1(+41%)	(5) Alyara 5/1, Respectable third of 12 in handicap (5/1) at Windsor (8.1f, good to soft). Off 7 months. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. This mark should be within range if ready to go back from seven months off; considered.
6th	12 6th (12) (4.5/1 +25%) San Francisco Bay	4.5 4.5/1(+25%)	(12) San Francisco Bay 4.5/1, Ended last campaign with solid second of 12 in handicap at Ffos Las (8f, soft, 12/1) in September. Fairly treated on return and warrants respect. Best efforts come after a recent outing but should be up to winning off this sort of mark.
7th	9 7th (9) (22/1 +33%) Always Fearless	22 22/1(+33%)	(9) Always Fearless 22/1, 12¾ lengths ninth of 12 to Eye of The Water in handicap at Bath (8f, soft, 80/1) 15 days ago. Work to do. Three Polytrack wins to his name but is 0-18 on turf; twice behind Eye Of The Water lately.
8th	3 8th (3) (28/1 -56%) Sisters In The Sky	28 28/1(-56%)	(3) Sisters In The Sky 28/1, Last of 12 in handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to soft, 28/1) 12 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Blinkered for 1st time. Makes limited appeal. Perhaps blinkers will help but he's lost his way, including in two runs for this yard.
9th	1 9th (1) (25/1 -178%) Sir Plato	25 25/1(-178%)	(1) Sir Plato 25/1, 5-time course winner. 100/1, first run since leaving Rod Millman when ninth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 78 days ago, slowly away. Hard to fancy. New yard has hit some form in recent times and a good showing wouldn't surprise.
10th	7 10th (7) (14/1 -40%) Into The Spotlight	14 14/1(-40%)	(7) Into The Spotlight 14/1, Respectable sixth of 10 in minor event (33/1) at Chelmsford City (8f) 75 days ago. Makes turf debut. Hood back on. Not out of things. Needs to improve for the switch to turf (useful half-sister went well on slow ground).
11th	11 11th (11) (125/1 -150%) Emerald Lady	125 125/1(-150%)	(11) Emerald Lady 125/1, First run since leaving K. R. Burke when last of 13 in handicap (66/1) at Bath (8f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Others preferred. Drying weather would help but she'd be hard to recommend even then.

LTO Selection:

Last-time-out winner EYE OF THE WATER was victorious at Bath earlier in the month and a 3lb rise may not be enough to stop him from completing a double. The returning Alyara also makes appeal if picking up where she left off last season, while you couldn't rule out a big run from San Francisco Bay either. He gets in off a light weight and was second last time out at Ffos Las.

EYE OF THE WATER got back on the scoreboard at Bath earlier this month and still looks feasibly treated. He may be able to follow up. San Francisco Bay and Into The Spotlight look the likeliest dangers.

Eye Of The Water should go well but MARSH BENHAM will appreciate the drying weather following a decent comeback effort at Bath.

13:30 Chepstow Handicap (Class 6) 8f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:40 Newcastle Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 17f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (2.25/1 +25%) Special Rate	2.25 2.25/1(+25%)	(4) Special Rate 2.25/1, Showed more than he had in bumpers switched to hurdling when second in 14-runner novice at Kelso (18.1f) 29 days ago, staying on. Leading player. Creditable second to progressive rival on recent hurdle debut and should build on that.
2	2 2nd (2) (4.5/1 +44%) Five Dollar Fine	4.5 4.5/1(+44%)	(2) Five Dollar Fine 4.5/1, Modest hurdler. Creditable fifth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (20.1f, soft, 11/2) 22 days ago. More needed back in novice company. Placed twice over 2m4f here in winter and recent handicap form is respectable; e-w claims.
3	6 3rd (6) (66/1 -32%) Monty Nevett	66 66/1(-32%)	(6) Monty Nevett 66/1, Unplaced in bumpers but showed a bit when seventh of 14 on hurdling debut at Kelso 29 days ago. Made fairly encouraging hurdle debut last month but is not the obvious answer here.
4	1 4th (1) (0.8/1 -51%) Quaresome	0.8 0.8/1(-51%)	(1) Quaresome 0.8/1, Hooded when 28/1 winner of 10-runner bumper at Roscommon on debut in September for Kieran Purcell. Changed hands for £85,000 and followed up with the hood left off on Musselburgh hurdling debut (17.4f) 53 days ago, forging clear. Sure to progress and win more races. Drew clear to win comfortably on hurdle debut at Musselburgh; the one to beat.
5th	5 5th (5) (14/1 +22%) Summergrounds	14 14/1(+22%)	(5) Summergrounds 14/1, Showed fair form when in the frame on all 3 starts in bumpers but looks more one for handicaps in this sphere over further after this run. Has made low-key start to his hurdling career but bumper form suggests he can do better.
6th	3 6th (3) (28/1 -56%) Nab Wood	28 28/1(-56%)	(3) Nab Wood 28/1, Court Cave gelding. Dam winning pointer/ran once over fences. Doesn't make a great deal of appeal on paper but is in good hands. With good stable but his pedigree doesn't exactly leap off the page; best watched on debut.
7th	7 7th (7) (66/1 -32%) Rouse	66 66/1(-32%)	(7) Rouse 66/1, Poor in bumpers and was behind when falling 2 out on hurdling debut at Sedgefield. Showed minor promise in bumpers but was well beaten when falling on hurdle debut.
8th	8 8th (8) (250/1 -150%) Garswood Lady	250 250/1(-150%)	(8) Garswood Lady 250/1, Well held in a brace of bumpers and tailed off in minor events/handicap on Flat. Tongue tied for hurdling debut and easy to look elsewhere. Has struggled in bumpers and on the Flat; makes no appeal on hurdling debut.

LTO Selection:

QUARESOME remains unbeaten and made a winning debut for connections when scoring at Musselburgh in March. The son of Parish Hall has to carry a 7lb penalty for that success but he looks capable of defying that. Special Rate filled the runner-up spot on his most recent outing and could do so once again, while Five Dollar Fine and Summergrounds complete the shortlist.

There's surely more to come from QUARESOME, who didn't look the finished article when forging clear on his Musselburgh hurdling/stable debut, so he's taken to defy a penalty. Special Rate looks the obvious threat following an improved effort on his hurdling debut at Kelso. Five Dollar Fine may prove best of the rest.

This can go to QUARESOME, who was nicely in command in the closing stages of his hurdling debut at Musselburgh in March.

13:40 Newcastle Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 17f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:50 Beverley Maiden (Class 5) 8f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
5	5 (5) (20/1 -186%) Heavenly Wish	20 20/1(-186%)	(5) Heavenly Wish 20/1, Made some appeal on paper, but offered little when fifth of 8 in maiden at Newbury (7f, heavy) on debut 25 days ago. Up in trip and could fare better with her first run behind her. Fifth in maiden at Newbury on her debut 25 days ago; daughter of Pivotal needs more.
1	9 1st (9) (0.91/1 +52%) Rowayeh	0.91 0.91/1(+52%)	(9) Rowayeh 0.91/1, After 6 months off, improved on debut form when third of 16 in maiden at Newmarket (1m, good to soft, 22/1) 27 days ago. Not taken lightly with further progress to come. Good third of 16 in 1m Newmarket maiden 27 days ago; open to further progress; big player.
2	8 2nd (8) (3.33/1 +33%) Rajindri	3.33 3.33/1(+33%)	(8) Rajindri 3.33/1, Not seen to best effect on her second start when third of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 11/4), left poorly placed. Remains open to improvement and can open her account upped in trip. Shaped well when placed in 7f novices on AW; more to offer; well in the mix.
3	4 3rd (4) (4.5/1 +63%) Emma Emilleen	4.5 4.5/1(+63%)	(4) Emma Emilleen 4.5/1, Shaped promisingly when sixth of 11 in minor event at Lingfield (1m, 25/1) on debut, late headway from poor position. Bred for longer distances and should do better in time. Encouraging 6th in novice at Lingfield on debut; this Lope De Vega filly can build on it.
4	3 4th (3) (16/1 +36%) Cori Glory	16 16/1(+36%)	(3) Cori Glory 16/1, Showed ability when fifth of 13 in minor event at York (7f, good to firm, 66/1) back in July last year. Off 9 months and up in trip on first run for yard after leaving Craig Lidster. Fifth in novice at York nine months ago; needs to hit the ground running for her new yard.
5th	1 5th (1) (8.5/1 -70%) Astral Spirit	8.5 8.5/1(-70%)	(1) Astral Spirit 8.5/1, Showed plenty when third of 8 in minor event at Yarmouth (1m, soft, 16/1) on debut 21 days ago. Should have more to offer. Shaped well on her debut when 3rd at Yarmouth; very good claims for her in-form yard.
6th	11 6th (11) (40/1 -21%) Willow Tree	40 40/1(-21%)	(11) Willow Tree 40/1, Made an unpromising debut when eighth of 9 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to soft, 33/1) 26 days ago. Needs to leave that effort well behind up in trip. Beat only one in maiden at Newmarket on her debut 26 days ago; plenty more is needed.
7th	2 7th (2) (150/1 -200%) Churchella	150 150/1(-200%)	(2) Churchella 150/1, Failed to progress from her debut 8 months on when last of 7 in minor event at Haydock (1m, good to firm, 20/1) 17 days ago. Looks one for further down the line. Last of seven at Haydock 17 days ago; she could still do better in the longer term.
8th	6 8th (6) (150/1 -200%) Onemore Twomore	150 150/1(-200%)	(6) Onemore Twomore 150/1, Exceed And Excel filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 1¼m-11.7f winner Paso Doble and 1¾m-16.3f winner Bailarico. Tough ask as the only debutante in the line-up. Exceed And Excel filly; appeals on paper so she's worth a market check.
9th	7 9th (7) (40/1 +0%) Purple Lady	40 40/1(+0%)	(7) Purple Lady 40/1, After 11 months off, showed more than first time up when fourth of 8 in minor event at Southwell (8.1f, 80/1) 8 days ago. Can come on for that run but much more required. Off 11 months but good fourth in Southwell novice eight days ago; she may do better still.

LTO Selection:

ROWAYEH displayed plenty of promise on her return to action at Newmarket a month ago and the daughter of Dubawi could be hard to beat with the benefit of that outing. Rajindri made the frame in both starts as a juvenile and is likely to be in the mix once again, while Astral Spirit and Storymaker are others who merit places on the shortlist.

Having shaped well when runner-up on debut, RAJINDRI was left poorly placed when third at Wolverhampton next time and she remains open to improvement with this extra furlong to suit. She is taken to see off the challenge of Rowayeh who stepped up on her debut form on her return, while Astral Spirit should also have more to offer.

Marginal preference is for ASTRAL SPIRIT, ahead of Rowayeh.

13:50 Beverley Maiden (Class 5) 8f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:05 Chepstow Maiden (Class 5) 5f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (7/1 -133%) Profitable Dreams	7 7/1(-133%)	(7) Profitable Dreams 7/1, Foaled March 26. €8,500 yearling, Profitable filly. Dam, 7f winner, half-sister to smart 1¼m winner (stayed 1½m) Izdiham. Fourth of 8 in minor event at Kempton (5f, 8/1) on debut 6 days ago. Yard cracking on with 2yos on turf; fading 4th on AW debut last week (5f).
2	8 2nd (8) (18/1 -64%) Smooth Silesie	18 18/1(-64%)	(8) Smooth Silesie 18/1, Foaled March 25. €20,000 yearling, Smooth Daddy filly. Dam unraced haf-sister to useful US 2-y-o 6f minor stakes winner Surfside Tiara from family of Dewhurst and National Stakes winner Air Force Blue. Strong pedigree for sprinting; yard 3-11 with 2yos here; betting can give some clues.
3	3 3rd (3) (1.2/1 +60%) Mullins Beach	1.2 1.2/1(+60%)	(3) Mullins Beach 1.2/1, Thrice-raced gelding. 6/1, second of 7 in maiden at Leicester (5f, soft) 3 days ago. Going the right way. About 2l ahead of newcomer Jolly Sailor at Bath; headed late on Saturday (5f, soft).
4	4 4th (4) (150/1 -200%) Surface To Air	150 150/1(-200%)	(4) Surface To Air 150/1, Twice-raced gelding. Last of 8 in minor event (100/1) at Salisbury (5f, good to soft) 12 days ago, slowly away. Visored for 1st time. Beaten 27l+ in two 5f novice events; best watched until going handicapping..
5th	5 5th (5) (3/1 +0%) Vidi Vici	3 3/1(+0%)	(5) Vidi Vici 3/1, Foaled March 15. 10,000 gns yearling, Invincible Army gelding. Dam unraced out of smart winner up to 7f (2-y-o 5f winner) Ishvana, second in Irish 1000 Guineas. Yard 3-7 with 2yos on turf in 2023 and 14-50 with them here overall; interesting.
6th	6 6th (6) (28/1 +15%) Aquifolia	28 28/1(+15%)	(6) Aquifolia 28/1, Foaled January 30. 3,000 gns foal, Belardo filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 11.6f winner Mickydee and 1m/9f winner Dutch Gal. Dam ran once. Dam bred five winners but this trip is likely to be too sharp on debut.
7th	2 7th (2) (6.5/1 +46%) Jolly Sailor	6.5 6.5/1(+46%)	(2) Jolly Sailor 6.5/1, Foaled February 8. 1,000 gns foal, Adaay colt. Half-brother to 2-y-o 6f winner Boy Browning. 11/1, sixth of 8 in maiden at Bath (5f, soft) on debut 15 days ago. Needs big step forward. Unruly before Bath debut but shaped nicely before tiring into sixth; can improve.
8th	1 8th (1) (33/1 -83%) Birkie Boy	33 33/1(-83%)	(1) Birkie Boy 33/1, Foaled April 7. Kuroshio gelding. Dam lightly-raced half-sister to useful 6f-7.3f winner Thiswaycadeaux. Handy pedigree; yard has better record with 2yos on AW but in good form this month.
9th	9 9th (9) (9/1 -64%) Zesty Lime	9 9/1(-64%)	(9) Zesty Lime 9/1, Foaled April 7. Massaat filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful 5f-6f winner Cuban Breeze and 5f winner Heer We Go Again. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner. Fairly late foal but has a precocious pedigree; worth market check.

LTO Selection:

MULLINS BEACH ran his best race to date when second at Leicester on Saturday and a reproduction of that performance may be enough to see him gain a first triumph. Profitable Dreams is a potential improver having finished fourth on her racecourse debut at Kempton last week and she's feared now switched to the turf. Vidi Vici makes most appeal of the newcomers and any market support would increase interest.

MULLINS BEACH has improved from run to run and another step forward might be enough to see him take this, though newcomers Zesty Lime and Vidi Vici are both bred to be sharp and market support for either should be noted.

Mullins Beach has good claims on his Saturday run but he wasn't far ahead of JOLLY SAILOR previously and the latter can improve.

14:15 Newcastle Handicap Chase (Class 5) 16f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
3	3 (3) (18/1 -29%) Da Vinci Hand	18 18/1(-29%)	(3) Da Vinci Hand 18/1, Failed to trouble the judge in 5 outings last season and a recent wind operation needs to have had a positive effect. Never really got going last season; needs wind op to enable a revival.
1	12 1st (12) (3/1 +50%) Chemical Warfare	3 3/1(+50%)	(12) Chemical Warfare 3/1, Good second over C&D in January. Disappointing at Sedgefield next time but latest fifth of 14 over hurdles at Southwell was creditable. 0-13 but has claims if judged on C&D second to well-handicapped rival in January.
2	7 2nd (7) (16/1 -60%) Getaway Jewel	16 16/1(-60%)	(7) Getaway Jewel 16/1, Landed a Market Rasen double (both 17f) under Brian Hughes last summer. Not at best in 2 comeback runs this spring but was better than the result last time and Brian Hughes is back in the saddle now. One of the more likely types. Did pretty well in 2022 but comes here after two 27l defeats this spring.
3	1 3rd (1) (22/1 -120%) Gouet Des Bruyeres	22 22/1(-120%)	(1) Gouet Des Bruyeres 22/1, Had a bit up his sleeve when taking advantage of a drop in the weights over 2m at Southwell in September. Given a break since a lesser run at Fakenham in November and capable of bouncing back. Respected. Good winner in September but absent since a lesser effort the following month.
4	9 4th (9) (12/1 -50%) Six One Nine	12 12/1(-50%)	(9) Six One Nine 12/1, Consistent type who was runner-up twice over C&D during the winter. Contender if turning up from a 3-month break in similar form. Won over C&D in 2022 and was second over C&D on final two starts last season; considered.
5th	11 5th (11) (14/1 +0%) Budarri	14 14/1(+0%)	(11) Budarri 14/1, Scored at Musselburgh in February and creditable in-frame efforts since. Another who can't be discounted. Gave good account before weakening into fourth at Hexham recently; each-way claims.
6th	4 6th (4) (11/1 -10%) Check My Pulse	11 11/1(-10%)	(4) Check My Pulse 11/1, Finally got off the mark over fences in 7-runner handicap chase at Carlisle (2m) in October. Not in the same form at Catterick the following month. Freshened up since. Not at best on latest start in November but form of Carlisle win in October reads well.
7th	10 7th (10) (10/1 -54%) Zara's Universe	10 10/1(-54%)	(10) Zara's Universe 10/1, Arrives on a hat-trick after wins at Market Rasen and Sedgefield in recent months. Likely to give another good account. 2-4 over fences after last month's heavy-ground success; latest 5lb rise demands more.
8th	13 8th (13) (9/1 +36%) Kicksaftersix	9 9/1(+36%)	(13) Kicksaftersix 9/1, Fair form in bumpers for Warren Greatrex but little form over jumps, including when attracting support on chase bow at Hexham in November. Has since had wind op. 6 lb out of the handicap. Ran well for a long way on chasing debut but was tired and well held in the end.
9th	2 9th (2) (28/1 -100%) Tico Times	28 28/1(-100%)	(2) Tico Times 28/1, Won a trio of handicaps during second half of 2022 for Dianne Sayer but hasn't fired since Sedgefield second in October. Back on a good mark but need to see more. Has become well handicapped and is of interest now back on a quicker surface.
10th	8 10th (8) (5.5/1 +21%) Fourth Of July	5.5 5.5/1(+21%)	(8) Fourth Of July 5.5/1, It's now 18 runs since his last win in 2021 but he has recorded good placed efforts over C&D and at Hexham on his last 2 outings. Likely to be in the shake-up again. Hasn't win since 2021 but ran big race in defeat at Hexham three weeks ago.
11th	6 11th (6) (10/1 +0%) Rockonsoph	10 10/1(+0%)	(6) Rockonsoph 10/1, Ran poorly in Perth handicap hurdle last month but had run well when second at Ayr prior to that and a point background provides hope that she'll take to fences. 0-5 over hurdles but this Irish point winner still makes appeal on her chasing debut.
12th	5 12th (5) (6.5/1 +35%) Fearless Action	6.5 6.5/1(+35%)	(5) Fearless Action 6.5/1, Solid efforts when in the frame at Sedgefield on all 3 chase starts. Ought to be competitive with Conor Rabbitt taking 7 lb off. Respectable fourth on heavy ground last time; this quicker surface may suit better.

LTO Selection:

ZARA'S UNIVERSE arrives here on the back of two victories in recent months and a 5lb rise the latest of those wins may not be enough to stop her from making it a hat-trick. Six One Nine has been knocking on the door on his most recent outings and should not be underestimated on his return from a short break. Others to note are Budarri and Check My Pulse.

The suggestion in a very open race is GETAWAY JEWEL now reunited with Brian Hughes, who was on board for both his wins last summer. Fourth of July, Six One Nine and the hat-trick seeking Zara's Universe head the many dangers.

The pick is TICO TIMES, who struggled to cope with heavy ground in his last two races but will be better suited by today's conditions.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (1.38/1 -10%) Bombay Bazaar	1.38 1.38/1(-10%)	(1) Bombay Bazaar 1.38/1, Shaped very well when third of 7 in maiden at Thirsk (5f, heavy, 5/1) on debut 24 days ago, keeping on without being unduly punished. Can progress from that effort to get off the mark. Promising debut 3rd at Thirsk; son of Kodiac seems sure to improve; leading claims.
2	7 2nd (7) (14/1 +72%) Project Geofin	14 14/1(+72%)	(7) Project Geofin 14/1, Foaled April 11. £3,000 yearling, Calyx gelding. Dam, 8.6f winner, half-sister to useful 7f/7.4f winner Snow Watch. Best watched on debut. Calyx gelding who can't be totally dismissed on his first run.
3	6 3rd (6) (4.5/1 -50%) Politico	4.5 4.5/1(-50%)	(6) Politico 4.5/1, Foaled February 8. €63,000 yearling, Blue Point colt. Dam 6f winner (including at 2 yrs). One to note on debut. Speedily bred Blue Point colt is in good hands and very much one to consider.
4	3 4th (3) (7.5/1 +0%) Crack The Kode	7.5 7.5/1(+0%)	(3) Crack The Kode 7.5/1, Foaled March 13. £29,000 yearling, Kodi Bear gelding. Dam, maiden (stayed 7f), half-sister to smart 5f/6f winner Double Up. Yard capable of readying a newcomer. Kodi Bear gelding is in good hands so this newcomer needs considering.
5th	9 5th (9) (125/1 -56%) Whatwouldiknow	125 125/1(-56%)	(9) Whatwouldiknow 125/1, Still in need of experience when seventh of 9 in minor event at Pontefract (5f, good to soft, 150/1) 13 days ago, again slowly away. Looks to be up against it. Cable Bay gelding who has never threatened in novices over C&D and Pontefract this spring.
6th	10 6th (10) (6/1 +50%) Cuban Secret	6 6/1(+50%)	(10) Cuban Secret 6/1, Hinted at ability when sixth of 9 in maiden at Newmarket (5f, good to soft, 22/1) on debut 27 days ago. Can build on that effort. Hinted at promise when debut Newmarket 6th; Havana Grey filly can take a step forward now.
7th	2 7th (2) (33/1 -32%) Clerys Clock	33 33/1(-32%)	(2) Clerys Clock 33/1, Foaled April 18. €9,000 yearling, Buratino gelding. Half-brother to 2-y-o 5f winner Dixiedoodledragon. Dam sprint maiden half-sister to smart 5f winner Green Door. Watch for market clues. Buratino gelding; betting can prove a good guide for this newcomer.
8th	8 8th (8) (11/1 -69%) Sheriff's Call	11 11/1(-69%)	(8) Sheriff's Call 11/1, Foaled January 18. 37,000 gns foal, £65,000 yearling, Soldier's Call colt. Half-brother to winner up to 6f Bolton Abbey. Dam unraced sister to smart winner up to 7f Ninjago. Appeals on paper but market can prove a good guide for this Soldier's Call colt.
9th	5 9th (5) (8/1 +11%) Northern Prince	8 8/1(+11%)	(5) Northern Prince 8/1, Some encouragement when fourth of 9 in minor event at this C&D (good to soft, 10/1) on debut 27 days ago. Entitled to do better this time around. Encouraging debut 4th over C&D 27 days ago; this Ardad colt can build on it here.
10th	11 10th (11) (100/1 -25%) Just Like Tonto	100 100/1(-25%)	(11) Just Like Tonto 100/1, Very green when eighth of 12 in maiden at this C&D (soft, 125/1) on debut 15 days ago. Likely to need more time. Very green when eighth over C&D on her debut 15 days ago; significantly more is required.

LTO Selection:

BOMBAY BAZAAR was not disgraced on his debut at Thirsk a few weeks ago and the experience that he gained on that occasion could prove to be vital here. Politico is a noteworthy newcomer being the first foal out of a mare who won a Listed race in the May of her juvenile season, while Crack The Kode and Cuban Secret are others to note.

BOMBAY BAZAAR shaped very well amidst greenness when third at Thirsk on debut, beaten only by a pair with prior experience, so he looks the one to beat with that first run behind him. Newcomers could pose the biggest threat to the selection, with Politico one to note along with Crack The Kode.

Richard Fahey's Kodiac colt BOMBAY BAZAAR shaped very well when a clear third at Thirsk and rates a confident choice to go in here.

1	2 1st (2) (5.5/1 +15%) Connie's Rose	5.5 5.5/1(+15%)	(2) Connie's Rose 5.5/1, Course winner. 4/1, below form fourth of 12 in handicap at Windsor (6f, heavy) 22 days ago. Others more persuasive. Front-runs; won over 7f/6f here in 2022; useful 5f return (soft); not as good at 6f since.

6th	7 6th (7) (33/1 -83%) Red Allure	33 33/1(-83%)	(7) Red Allure 33/1, Third of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 18/1) 14 days ago. Three 5f wins for previous yard; best run for new yard when close 3rd on AW latest.
7th	4 7th (4) (14/1 +0%) Peachey Carnehan	14 14/1(+0%)	(4) Peachey Carnehan 14/1, Course winner. Creditable third of 9 in handicap (11/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 38 days ago. Minimum trip likely to catch him out. Won over 6f here in September; held form well since; first 5f run since 2017.
8th	9 8th (9) (16/1 -33%) Fair And Square	16 16/1(-33%)	(9) Fair And Square 16/1, Remains a maiden after 33 Flat runs. Seventh of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 20/1) 14 days ago. Hood back on, cheekpieces back on. Maiden who is often in the frame; down the weights since latest turf run; thereabouts.
9th	5 9th (5) (20/1 -43%) Toplight	20 20/1(-43%)	(5) Toplight 20/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW, 2/1) 20 days ago. Five wins at 5f on AW; well held in his only 2 turf handicaps; first grass run since 2021.
10th	13 10th (13) (22/1 +21%) Soldier's Son	22 22/1(+21%)	(13) Soldier's Son 22/1, Remains a maiden after 34 Flat runs. Below form fifth of 12 in handicap at Windsor (6f, heavy, 33/1) 22 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Not easy to make a case for. Maiden; has course form at 6f; close up in only 5f handicap; this stiff test can help.
11th	3 11th (3) (12/1 -9%) Cloud Cuckoo	12 12/1(-9%)	(3) Cloud Cuckoo 12/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 10 in minor event at Kempton (6f, 33/1) 29 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Could do a lot better now. Showed promise in ordinary C&D event in September; worth market check on handicap debut.
12th	6 12th (6) (7/1 +22%) Fossos	7 7/1(+22%)	(6) Fossos 7/1, 3-time C&D winner. 20/1, below form sixth of 15 in handicap at Bath (5f, soft) on return 15 days ago. Shortlist material back here despite wide draw. Three C&D wins in the last 12 months, on good and soft; better for recent reappearance.
13th	11 13th (11) (28/1 -27%) Good To Go	28 28/1(-27%)	(11) Good To Go 28/1, Poor maiden. 5/1, last of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, soft) 21 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Improved for first-time visor when 3rd in April (5f); not as sharp next time; now visored.

LTO Selection:

BLUEBELL TIME was far-from disgraced when fourth at Bath recently and she could take advantage of a 3lb lower mark here. On Edge finished a respectable third on his return to action at Windsor last month and this former course winner should not be taken lightly in this company. Red Allure ran well on the all-weather last time and completes the shortlist.

RHUBARB made hay here last term and gets the vote off a tempting mark after showing more at Bath. Fossos is another with a fine Chepstow record and is respected despite his high draw. Cloud Cuckoo could do a lot better now handicapping at a low level for Henry Candy.

Wide-open but course winner ON EDGE has had fewer chances than most and is worth a crack at a 5f handicap. Fossos may be next best.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (5/1 -25%) Our Laura B	5 5/1(-25%)	(3) Our Laura B 5/1, Reached the frame in a couple of novice hurdles at Sedgefield before making successful switch to handicap company over C&D in March. Just touched off at Ludlow (good to soft) next time and likely to be in the thick of things once more. Stylish C&D winner on handicap debut in March and went very close at Ludlow last month.
2	8 2nd (8) (4/1 +33%) Emily Wade	4 4/1(+33%)	(8) Emily Wade 4/1, Just modest form at best in bumpers (for Tjade Collier) but confirmed promise of handicap debut in this sphere when scoring at Southwell (20.4f, soft) in March. Creditable second off 5 lb higher at Carlisle (17f, soft) since (nudged up a further 2 lb for that) and she's a key player back up in trip. Backed up her breakthrough win in March with a good effort in defeat last month; respected.
3	2 3rd (2) (3.33/1 +52%) Starlyte	3.33 3.33/1(+52%)	(2) Starlyte 3.33/1, Made a winning return to hurdles for new yard over C&D in November. Largely respectable efforts in defeat since and now 2 lb below that winning mark, so she needs considering with conditions in her favour. Not running badly this year, and now 2lb lower than when scoring over C&D in November.
4	5 4th (5) (20/1 -122%) Theirshegoes	20 20/1(-122%)	(5) Theirshegoes 20/1, Signs of promise sole start in bumpers and similar story when fifth of 9 on second of 3 starts in novice company. Raised her game when third on handicap debut upped to 3m at Perth (good to soft) last month but she was rather wayward under pressure and this demands another step forward. Placed on recent handicap debut and may have a bigger run in her on this left-handed track.
5th	4 5th (4) (18/1 -100%) Lady Mendoza	18 18/1(-100%)	(4) Lady Mendoza 18/1, Won completed start in Irish points during the spring and positive start under Rules when second in a C&D novice event (soft) in November. However, no show both subsequent starts and needs to bounce back in a major way with cheekpieces added for this handicap bow. Second over C&D on rules debut but two disappointing runs have followed; cheekpieces added.
6th	11 6th (11) (12/1 +52%) Maisie Too	12 12/1(+52%)	(11) Maisie Too 12/1, Modest form in a quartet of bumpers and comfortably held in 3 novice hurdles. Beaten when unseating 2 out on recent handicap debut at Perth in first-time cheekpieces (retained here) and looks set for another struggle. Well held when unseating rider on handicap debut; significant improvement needed.
7th	7 7th (7) (9/1 +44%) Dot Cotton	9 9/1(+44%)	(7) Dot Cotton 9/1, Fair ex-Irish maiden but she hasn't pulled up any trees in half-a-dozen starts for present yard. Mark continues on the slide but likely to come up short once again in any case. Not beaten far at Perth last month but is 0-11 now; others have more appealing profiles.
8th	6 8th (6) (5/1 +9%) Toughasoldboots	5 5/1(+9%)	(6) Toughasoldboots 5/1, Wide-margin maiden winner last spring and doubled her tally returned to this sphere at Carlisle (17f, soft) in March. Did well under the circumstances that day (race wasn't run to suit) and she has to be high on the shortlist up just 2 lb. Game winner last time out, and this different trip-and-ground combination will also suit.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (12/1 +0%) Martalindy	12 12/1(+0%)	(1) Martalindy 12/1, Caused a huge surprise when a 50/1 winner of a 4-runner mares' maiden at Huntingdon in October. Held back by several mistakes when second of 3 back there later that month, though, and failed to improve back from a break on handicap debut at Perth (20.2f, good to soft) last month. Shock winner of small-field maiden in October; recent handicap debut was respectable.
13	13 \|PU\| (13) (18/1 +28%) Fllana Bay	18 18/1(+28%)	(13) Fllana Bay 18/1, Has hinted at ability on a couple of occasions but not so when returning from a break in this headgear combination at Perth (16.2f, good to soft) last month. Jolt of improvement needed back up in trip for this handicap debut. 0-7 over hurdles and makes only limited appeal on today's handicap debut.
12	12 \|PU\| (12) (25/1 +0%) Celestial Fashion	25 25/1(+0%)	(12) Celestial Fashion 25/1, First piece of worthwhile form over hurdles when returning from wind surgery to finish second of 12 on 17f Carlisle handicap debut 3 starts back. However, no show over this C&D and at Perth since, and she will need to learn to settle if she's to build on the promise of her Carlisle effort. 50-1 second on handicap debut in March but suffered two heavy defeats last month.
14	14 \|PU\| (14) (200/1 -700%) National Charter	200 200/1(-700%)	(14) National Charter 200/1, Fair maiden on Flat (stays 1¾m) but has made no impact in 4 starts over hurdles so far and she's 6 lb 'wrong' at the weights now pitched into a handicap in this sphere. Has shown only glimmers of promise over hurdles but was placed on the Flat last spring.

LTO Selection:

OUR LAURA B gave a good account off top-weight when denied by a nose at Ludlow last time out and may go one better in this contest. The in-form five-year-old has only been handed a 1lb rise for that effort and gets the nod to record a second win over course and distance. Starlyte failed to justify favouritism in deeper waters on her latest outing but rates the most immediate now eased in grade, while Theirshegoes is another to consider.

Though some of her rivals arrive here in better form, STARLYTE is very much of interest now returned to the scene of her decisive front-running display on debut for Lucinda Russell in November (off a 2 lb higher mark). She has generally acquitted herself well in slightly higher-grade handicaps since and the drying ground will be right up her street. Fellow C&D winner Our Laura B is greatly respected in current form, while Toughasoldboots and Emily Wade are others with strong credentials.

C&D winner OUR LAURA B was nudged up only 1lb for her very close second at Ludlow last month and probably still has potential.

However, could fare better with cheekpieces now back on. Fair 6f/7f maiden for Alice Haynes; frame possibilities on second start for new yard.
2	3 2nd (3) (0.8/1 +36%) Montelusa	0.8 0.8/1(+36%)	(3) Montelusa 0.8/1, Fair colt. Ran to similar level as on his reappearance when second of 4 in maiden at Nottingham (6.1f, soft, 15/2) 3 days ago. Sets the standard in this contest and can land his first victory. Reliable maiden; creditable 2nd in Nottingham h'cap 3 days ago; respected now in seller.
3	8 3rd (8) (66/1 +0%) Loveliest	66 66/1(+0%)	(8) Loveliest 66/1, After 8 days off, fared no better than on debut when ninth of 10 in minor event at Catterick (7f, heavy, 150/1) 34 days ago. Drop back in trip not enough to tempt. Has offered little in 5f Thirsk maiden and 7f Catterick novice; others much preferred.
4	6 4th (6) (12/1 +14%) Heart Of Sofia	12 12/1(+14%)	(6) Heart Of Sofia 12/1, Offered little after 6 months off when tenth of 11 in minor event at Newcastle (6f, 150/1) in February. Much more needed. Has cut little ice in her three runs to date; lots more is needed after her break.
5th	5 5th (5) (5.5/1 +45%) Carry On Aitch	5.5 5.5/1(+45%)	(5) Carry On Aitch 5.5/1, After 7 months off, always behind when last of 7 in minor event at Chelmsford City (5f, 80/1) 33 days ago. Had run well on her final outing last year, though. Last of seven in 5f Chelmsford novice on her return; needs to take a big step forward now.
6th	2 6th (2) (28/1 -100%) Chattel Village	28 28/1(-100%)	(2) Chattel Village 28/1, Has gone the wrong way since his first 2 starts, last of 6 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to soft, 20/1) 11 days ago. Back down in trip with tongue strap now reached for. Last of six in 7f Musselburgh handicap 11 days ago; tongue tied now with lots to prove.
7th	4 7th (4) (6.5/1 -86%) Silks Graphite	6.5 6.5/1(-86%)	(4) Silks Graphite 6.5/1, Followed good run with a below-par one when fourth of 6 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, heavy, 4/1) 14 days ago. Merits consideration with blinkers on 1st time. May bounce back with blinkers added; penultimate effort puts him in the picture.
8th	1 8th (1) (20/1 -25%) Bedazzling	20 20/1(-25%)	(1) Bedazzling 20/1, Has finished down the field all 4 starts this year, seventh of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 9/1) 14 days ago. Application of cheekpieces needs to spark a revival. Has offered little for her current yard; may bounce back with cheekpieces fitted.
9th	9 9th (9) (125/1 -56%) Maddisonelle	125 125/1(-56%)	(9) Maddisonelle 125/1, Well held both starts last year, thirteenth of 14 in minor event at Newcastle (5f, 200/1) on second occasion. Makes little appeal after 6 months off. Always behind in pair of novices at Newcastle last autumn; significantly more is required.
10th	10 10th (10) (28/1 -40%) Mystical Dreams	28 28/1(-40%)	(10) Mystical Dreams 28/1, Struggling for form since her first start of the year, eighth of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, soft, 11/2) 42 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time. Arrives on back of poor efforts in 5f h'caps at Newcastle/Thirsk; blinkers go on now.

LTO Selection:

A mark of 70 probably flatters MONTELUSA but he rarely runs poorly and may well prove to be a cut above these rivals now switched to selling company. Silks Graphite appears to be the main danger based on his second-placed finish over 6f at Yarmouth two starts ago. The rest all have questions to answer but Insolente is the pick of them.

MONTELUSA proved consistent last year and, having finished runner-up on his second outing of the current campaign, he could be ready to get off the mark this time around. Tim Easterby's colt sets the standard in this contest, though Silks Graphite could bounce back in first-time blinkers and is feared most, ahead of Insolente.

This looks a great opportunity for MONTELUSA to gain a breakthrough win dropped into selling grade after a run of solid efforts.

1	6 1st (6) (6.5/1 +35%) Vape	6.5 6.5/1(+35%)	(6) Vape 6.5/1, 28/1, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 33 days ago. Mark unchanged and usually gives his running, so no surprise if this 6-y-o is on the premises. Two front-running wins on turf and AW in the autumn; may be shade high in weights now.
2	2 2nd (2) (5/1 -11%) Macs Dilemma	5 5/1(-11%)	(2) Macs Dilemma 5/1, C&D winner. Creditable fifth of 9 in handicap (12/1) at Brighton (7f, good) 24 days ago. That run will have blown away the cobwebs and he's of interest off 2 lb lower with cheekpieces refitted. Six wins on good/good to firm for yard, including over C&D; probably best at 7f now.
3	3 3rd (3) (28/1 -155%) Cashew	28 28/1(-155%)	(3) Cashew 28/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. 50/1, first run since leaving George Boughey when creditable third of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 12 days ago. Each-way chance returned to turf if able to build on that effort. Two 6f wins on soft as 2yo; mixed in 2022; down weights and good debut for yard this month.
4	9 4th (9) (2/1 +73%) Carlton Banks	2 2/1(+73%)	(9) Carlton Banks 2/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, ninth of 14 in handicap (7/1) at Killarney (8.3f, soft). Off 7 months and back down in trip. Needs to bounce back but it's worth remembering that he wasn't beaten far off an 18 lb higher mark in a big-field handicap at the Curragh last spring. Most of 2022 was a washout but eyecatching 6f return last April; this is easier.
5th	5 5th (5) (9/1 -125%) Rich Rhythm	9 9/1(-125%)	(5) Rich Rhythm 9/1, Fourth of 7 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, heavy, 5/2) 8 days ago, slowly away. Entitled to come on for that and could have a part to play if the ground dries out (best form to date on good to firm). Winner of 5f novice as 3yo; unexposed in handicaps; should have more to come.
6th	7 6th (7) (22/1 -22%) Gilt Edge	22 22/1(-22%)	(7) Gilt Edge 22/1, C&D winner. 25/1, below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Others more persuasive from a win perspective. C&D winner; all best form on good or quicker; soundly beaten on good to soft on return.
7th	4 7th (4) (5/1 -43%) Pinwheel	5 5/1(-43%)	(4) Pinwheel 5/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 4/1, good second of 6 in handicap at Brighton (6f, good) 13 days ago. Big player for in-form yard off the same mark. 7f winner in France; struggled in Britain but down weights and close up on last 2 starts.
8th	1 8th (1) (8/1 +33%) Youarenotforgiven	8 8/1(+33%)	(1) Youarenotforgiven 8/1, Twelfth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 12/1) when last seen in November, slowly away. Perhaps worth a crack at this trip (won over 7f on penultimate start) and not discounted, for all that his current mark demands improvement. Impressed dropped to 7f in October; another new trip; unraced on ground slower than good.
9th	11 9th (11) (10/1 -33%) Flagman	10 10/1(-33%)	(11) Flagman 10/1, Career best when winning 8-runner handicap (28/1) at Kempton (6f) 13 days ago. 3 lb rise fair but needs to prove that he can perform to a similar level now returned to turf (well held both starts here in 2022). Well-bred 5yo; suited by drop to 6f when overcoming difficulties; open to improvement.
10th	8 10th (8) (150/1 -275%) Desert	150 150/1(-275%)	(8) Desert 150/1, 40/1, last of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f). Off 10 months and it's probably best to look elsewhere. Won 6f handicap for R Hannon as 2yo; well held 2 runs for new yard in 2022; off since July.
11th	10 11th (10) (200/1 -203%) John O'groats	200 200/1(-203%)	(10) John O'groats 200/1, 100/1, first run since leaving Michael Bell when last of 7 in minor event at Lingfield (10f, AW) 69 days ago, going off too hard. Significantly down in trip and he's readily passed over. Very mixed for M Bell; plenty to prove back at 6f; needs weight off his back.

LTO Selection:

Narrowly denied at Brighton last time out, PINWHEEL can gain compensation and gain a first win in the UK. The five-year-old has improved since having wind surgery and he gets the vote ahead of the Irish-raider Carlton Banks and Rich Rhythm, who could improve for going back up in trip. Cashew and Flagman are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

Though nearer last than first on the majority of his appearances last term, Irish-raider CARLTON BANKS is nevertheless interesting here off a much-reduced mark. The 6-y-o wasn't beaten at all far when sixth in a 22-runner handicap at the Curragh off 18 lb higher last spring (on the back of a similar absence from which he is returning to action here), and his yard is 5-11 with horses aged 4+ on turf in Britain in recent seasons. Pinwheel and Macs Dilemma rate the main dangers.

Well-connected Flagman has more to offer at 6f but CASHEW has less to prove on softish ground and is quite well treated now.

6th	4 6th (4) (50/1 -178%) Big Difference	50 50/1(-178%)	(4) Big Difference 50/1, Won a couple of small-field handicap chases last season but lost his form and might need this after 5 months off. Has the ground in his favour and effective at 2m4f but may need the run after a break.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (18/1 -112%) Joke Dancer	18 18/1(-112%)	(5) Joke Dancer 18/1, Has enjoyed plenty of success, though a while since he ran to his best. Very well handicapped if finding his mojo again but is unproven over this far. Kelso winner last May; disappointing since, but now 16lb lower; yet to win at beyond 2m1f.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (33/1 -136%) Ice Coast	33 33/1(-136%)	(6) Ice Coast 33/1, Showed fair form on both starts in France but yet to fire for current stable, running a moody race on chase debut when last seen in January. Has had a breathing operation. Ex-French; pulled up on chase debut; has since had a second win op; should do better.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (40/1 -100%) Tonto's Spirit	40 40/1(-100%)	(3) Tonto's Spirit 40/1, Little impact the last twice and will be of more interest when returning to Cartmel (has a record 8 wins there). Below par on heavy this year but interesting off this mark back on good ground.

LTO Selection:

Despite losing his irons on the run-in, Thomas Dowson kept RIBEYE up to his work to land a second career victory at Hexham last time out. The eight-year-old relished the step back to this trip and he rates the one to beat off 6lb higher. Croagh Patrick has been a consistent customer of late and demands the utmost respect after a gallant second at Haydock on his latest outing. The handicapper has loosened his grip on Big Difference and he completes the shortlist now back off his last winning mark.

RIBEYE can continue his fine start over fences with a third win of the year. He was value for extra when scoring at Hexham recently and should have even more to offer. Marshalled wasn't beaten far at Sedgefield and is respected off the same mark on this better ground. Limerick Leader is another to consider.

Having won two of his three previous starts over fences, RIBEYE is selected to win again. Croagh Patrick is also likely to go well.

1	5 1st (5) (4.5/1 +47%) Majeski Man	4.5 4.5/1(+47%)	(5) Majeski Man 4.5/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Went backwards from his previous outing when seventh of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 11/1) 28 days ago. Capable of getting involved if on a going day. Both wins at 6f but fair run over 5f last month; not ideally drawn; others appeal more.
2	9 2nd (9) (3.33/1 +33%) Gustav Graves	3.33 3.33/1(+33%)	(9) Gustav Graves 3.33/1, Continued in good heart when second of 6 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good, 3/1) 9 days ago. Can make his presence felt once again. Comes into the reckoning after his good second at Hamilton last time (5f, good to soft)..
3	4 3rd (4) (3.5/1 +0%) The Dunkirk Lads	3.5 3.5/1(+0%)	(4) The Dunkirk Lads 3.5/1, Dropped back in trip returned to turf, back to form when winning 8-runner handicap at this C&D (good to soft, 18/1) 19 days ago. Remains on a workable mark and can give another another good account. C&D winner from high draw last time; chance off 4lb higher from better draw.
4	7 4th (7) (8.5/1 -13%) High Security	8.5 8.5/1(-13%)	(7) High Security 8.5/1, Hasn't gone on from his reappearance effort, below form when third of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 8/1) 11 days ago. However, he won and placed twice from his 3 starts at this C&D last season. C&D winner last August; just fair efforts this time; a possible from good draw.
5th	6 5th (6) (18/1 -80%) Ramiro	18 18/1(-80%)	(6) Ramiro 18/1, After 10 months off and with hood on for 1st time, denied a clear run from over 1f out when fifth of 11 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, heavy, 20/1) 24 days ago. Task is now to build on his latest effort. Ex-Irish; below par in 2022 but encouraging run at Thirsk last time; well treated; player.
6th	1 6th (1) (8.5/1 -6%) Sound Reason	8.5 8.5/1(-6%)	(1) Sound Reason 8.5/1, C&D winner. Still looked rusty when seventh of 10 in handicap at Wetherby (5.5f, good to soft, 12/1) 16 days ago. Back down in class, but needs to find more to be able to take advantage. Habitual slow starter; 5f winner off 5lb higher last May; yet to hit top form this season.
7th	8 7th (8) (6/1 +57%) Hey Mr	6 6/1(+57%)	(8) Hey Mr 6/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2020. 80/1, never on terms when ninth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 33 days ago. Others preferred. Poor strike-rate; only win came off 17lb higher in 2020 (5f, soft); others appeal more.
8th	2 8th (2) (7/1 -56%) King Of Tonga	7 7/1(-56%)	(2) King Of Tonga 7/1, Stepped up on his reappearance when fourth of 10 in handicap at Wetherby (5.5f, good to soft, 18/1) 16 days ago. Major player having now dropped to 1 lb below his last winning mark. Well handicapped and creditable fourth at Wetherby last time; one to consider.

LTO Selection:

The Dunkirk Lads relished the step back to this minimum trip when landing the spoils at this venue last time out and the four-year-old warrants the utmost respect. This demands considerably more off 4lb higher, though, and a chance is taken on KING OF TONGA, who gave a good account of himself when fourth in deeper waters on his latest outing. The son of Dark Angel now sits 1lb below his last winning mark and gets the tentative nod. Sound Reason is another to consider.

KING OF TONGA ran better than on his return when making the frame at Wetherby 16 days ago and he can take advantage of this drop back in grade to return to winning ways. The main danger could be The Dunkirk Lads, who remains on a workable mark following his C&D success last time, while Gustav Graves also merits consideration.

The ex-Irish RAMIRO has started the season on a good mark and following a good reappearance run is taken to beat King Of Tonga.

Less exposed than the majority of these. Considered. Lightly raced compared to the rest and open to bit more improvement in first-time headgear.
2	3 2nd (3) (2.25/1 +18%) Bomb Squad	2.25 2.25/1(+18%)	(3) Bomb Squad 2.25/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in December. 13/2, good third of 15 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, heavy) 24 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Does most racing now over 6f but is fine over this extra furlong; will rightly be popular.
3	7 3rd (7) (1.38/1 +72%) Lockdown Lass	1.38 1.38/1(+72%)	(7) Lockdown Lass 1.38/1, One win from 24 Flat runs. Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. Creditable third of 11 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, soft, 4/1) on reappearance 42 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Made a fair comeback six weeks ago; 1lb lower today and capable at this level.
4	2 4th (2) (28/1 +44%) Kinz	28 28/1(+44%)	(2) Kinz 28/1, Last of 14 in handicap (80/1) at this course (1m, good to firm) on sole 2022 start. Returns for a new trainer. Could only consider if backed. Best effort came on fast ground and she's entitled to need this run for her new yard.
5th	8 5th (8) (28/1 -40%) Moveonup	28 28/1(-40%)	(8) Moveonup 28/1, Latest win at Chelmsford in January. Respectable fifth of 9 at Brighton (7f, good, 25/1) back on turf 13 days ago. Not a bad effort back from a break last time (missed the kick) behind Romanovich.
6th	1 6th (1) (6.5/1 -63%) Madrinho	6.5 6.5/1(-63%)	(1) Madrinho 6.5/1, Unreliable type. Course winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. Good second of 11 in handicap at Brighton (6f, good, 15/2) 14 days ago, nearest finish. Respected. Course winner who's fine on any ground; goes on the shortlist.
7th	4 7th (4) (33/1 -725%) Dodgy Bob	33 33/1(-725%)	(4) Dodgy Bob 33/1, This veteran has notched a pair of wins over 7f at Wolverhampton this year. Most of his recent good efforts have come on AW but he enjoyed plenty of success on turf earlier in his career. Ran well here a few times without winning, so is one to consider back from seven weeks off.
8th	5 8th (5) (28/1 -12%) Red Bravo	28 28/1(-12%)	(5) Red Bravo 28/1, Two wins from 48 Flat runs. Twenty five runs since last win in 2020. 50/1, bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f), slowly away. Off 92 days. Back down in trip. Yard has been quiet of late; has gone well fresh but others appeal more.
9th	10 9th (10) (22/1 +0%) Nemorum	22 22/1(+0%)	(10) Nemorum 22/1, Remains a maiden after 16 starts. 28/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Catterick (6f, heavy) when last seen in October. Plenty to find on form. Best effort came first time out last year but he's a regressive maiden.
10th	9 10th (9) (50/1 -25%) Epeius	50 50/1(-25%)	(9) Epeius 50/1, Nineteen runs since last win in 2020. Off since a poor run at Newcastle in January. Others arrive with more pressing claims. Can go well fresh but he's getting on and been on the downgrade for a while.

LTO Selection:

The form of BOMB SQUAD's most recent placed effort at Thirsk has worked out extremely well and stepping back up in trip may see him regain the winning thread. A winner of two of his last four starts, Dodgy Bob can give him the most to think about, along with Romanovich, who was narrowly denied at Brighton last time. Others to note include Lockdown Lass, Madrinho and Moveonup.

ROMANOVICH has fewer convictions than most of these and is given a chance to build on his improved second at Brighton last time. Bomb Squad, Madrinho and the consistent Lockdown Lass are others to consider.

The only one open to any improvement in a field full of veterans, ROMANOVICH gets the nod. Bomb Squad is second choice.

Task is to now replicate that level at this track. In good form over 3m3f at Sedgefield at end of last season; may not be as effective here.
2	5 2nd (5) (6/1 +50%) You Some Boy	6 6/1(+50%)	(5) You Some Boy 6/1, Three wins last winter and off the mark for the current campaign at Ayr (3m) in March. Disappointing at Musselburgh but he's in the right hands to bounce back. Well beaten in series final last time but has claims if judged on earlier win at Ayr.
3	7 3rd (7) (12/1 +0%) Nikgarde	12 12/1(+0%)	(7) Nikgarde 12/1, Kelso winner in 2020 but lightly raced since and last season was disappointing. Has a bit to prove but ran well here two starts ago and Brian Hughes is a good booking.

Found only one too good at latter venue last month and now looks ready for a crack at this sort of trip. Good second over 2m2f last month; still quite lightly raced; tries a new trip here.
5th	12 5th (12) (14/1 +30%) Bushmill Boy	14 14/1(+30%)	(12) Bushmill Boy 14/1, Yet to score over hurdles and was never really a factor at Southwell last time, albeit he was snatched up. Cheekpieces need to galvanise him from 9 lb out of the weights. Disappointing favourite when dropped back to 2m last month; new trip and cheekpieces here.
6th	1 6th (1) (16/1 -100%) Court Dreaming	16 16/1(-100%)	(1) Court Dreaming 16/1, Cashed in on a reduced chase mark at Carlisle in October (24.5f). Sound return to action over timber at that venue last month and he may step up on that. Returned from break with decent effort last month but may find others better handicapped.
7th	2 7th (2) (4.5/1 +25%) Deluxe Range	4.5 4.5/1(+25%)	(2) Deluxe Range 4.5/1, Losing run dates back to 2020 and he had a wind op before good third of 5 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (16.2f, heavy) in March. Kept on at the one pace returned to a more suitable 22.7f at Kelso a month later. Ended last season with two fairly good efforts but is seemingly on the downgrade now.
8th	8 8th (8) (28/1 -133%) Aire Valley Lad	28 28/1(-133%)	(8) Aire Valley Lad 28/1, Belatedly opened chase account at the twelfth time of asking in December.

Couple of steadily-run races haven't helped him since. Slightly disappointing last time but was in good form beforehand; one to consider.
11	11 \|PU\| (11) (14/1 +44%) Tomorrow's Angel	14 14/1(+44%)	(11) Tomorrow's Angel 14/1, Sole success over hurdles was gained almost 2 years ago and she's hard to warm to based on recent evidence. Badly out of form over hurdles during winter and also struggled in a recent Flat marathon.

LTO Selection:

In a competitive contest, marginal preference is for THATBEATSBANAGHER, who failed to justify favouritism when runner-up over 3m3f at Sedgefield last time out. The consistent nine-year-old has only been handed a 2lb rise for that effort and may go one better now stepping back in trip. Balkotic arrives on the hunt for a third consecutive win after a break and merits consideration, while Deluxe Range completes the shortlist.

Hard to warm to the majority of these but there's an air of untapped potential around RAE DES CHAMPS over this sort of trip, so she is awarded the vote. Lastofthecosmics and Deluxe Range head the opposition.

Point winner RAE DES CHAMPS (nap) returned from a break with a good effort over 2m2f and looks interesting over today's longer trip.

Just as effective on turf and can give another good account. Won at Newcastle before good 2nd there latest; C&D winner is firmly in the picture.
3	7 3rd (7) (7/1 +50%) Alibaba	7 7/1(+50%)	(7) Alibaba 7/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2020 and well below form both starts back from a long absence this year. On the upside, his mark continues to ease. Hinted at revival (2nd run back after 20 months off) when fifth at Nottingham; considered.
4	5 4th (5) (4.5/1 +36%) Ugo Gregory	4.5 4.5/1(+36%)	(5) Ugo Gregory 4.5/1, Course winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2021 but showed the benefit of his reappearance in going down to only a thriving rival in 7-runner handicap over C&D (soft) 15 days ago, pair clear. Must enter calculations but stall 12 doesn't make things easy. Course winner; very good C&D 2nd latest (form franked) so he merits serious consideration.

Respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, good to soft, 15/2) 13 days ago, slowly away. Arrives in decent nick, 4th at Pontefract 13 days ago; course scorer is not dismissed.

10th	3 10th (3) (25/1 -25%) Captain Corelli	25 25/1(-25%)	(3) Captain Corelli 25/1, C&D winner who was below form at Newcastle on his final outing in November. Bounce back called for on this return to action. C&D winner but off since beating only one at Newcastle in November; has gone well fresh.
11th	11 11th (11) (16/1 -14%) Antagonize	16 16/1(-14%)	(11) Antagonize 16/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2021 but was unsuited by conditions when well held at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) 34 days ago. Now below last winning mark and not dismissed under a change of rider. Yet to fire in 2 runs this spring but C&D winner is slipping in weights; not discounted.

LTO Selection:

In this competitive contest, marginal preference goes to UGO GREGORY, who gave a good account of himself when runner-up over course and distance off 2lb lower last time out. Despite being short of room two furlongs out, the seven-year-old was only denied by a neck and may go one better today. Jazz Samba shed the maiden tag at this venue on her latest outing and rates the most immediate danger despite a 4lb rise for that success, while Broctune Red is another to consider.

BROCTUNE RED appears back at the top of his game and is just as effective on turf as all-weather, so another bold bid looks on the cards. Jazz Samba improved to get off the mark here on her return and a 4 lb rise seems fair, while Ugo Gregory was unlucky to bump into a big improver over C&D last time.

Low-mileage 4yo JAZZ SAMBA (nap) returned an improved model when going in here last time and can make light of a 4lb rise.

LTO Selection:

Puntarelle has been in good form on the all-weather and she can go well on her handicap debut, but if TIME'S EYE improves for her first start of the season, she could be the one. Only beaten a head by Karsavina last October, who has raced in Group company since, which suggests that a mark of 79 could prove generous. Ivy Avenue intrigues over this trip after two runs over a mile and a quarter

IVY AVENUE was a fair triple winner on the Flat for Jim Bolger and could have more to offer for Mick Appleby. She takes on a field of 3-y-os here and could be the way to go. Chelmsford-winner Puntarelle is fancied as the main danger.

Today's drop from 1m should suit the strong-travelling SILVER NIGHTFALL (nap). The main danger is Time's Eye.

6th	6 6th (6) (66/1 -560%) Edmond Dantes	66 66/1(-560%)	(6) Edmond Dantes 66/1, Fairly useful winner on Flat but essentially disappointing in this sphere and was a similar story on debut over fences last month. Returns to hurdling now. Has ability but unplaced all ten hurdle starts; well beaten on chasing debut latest.
7th	7 7th (7) (20/1 +9%) Ingleby Mackenzie	20 20/1(+9%)	(7) Ingleby Mackenzie 20/1, Fair handicap chaser in Ireland for Henry de Bromhead but yet to threaten for new yard, never involved at Perth last month. Only one win in the last five years and recent efforts haven't suggested another imminent.
8th	10 8th (10) (28/1 -12%) Bebside Banter	28 28/1(-12%)	(10) Bebside Banter 28/1, Much improved when second of 12 in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (2m, soft) in January but in nothing like the same form since, well beaten in a seller at Hexham latest. Tries cheekpieces now. Good second in January but little either side of that; hopes pinned on cheekpieces.
9th	2 9th (2) (28/1 -27%) Ebendi	28 28/1(-27%)	(2) Ebendi 28/1, Fairly useful Flat performer for Joseph O'Brien and standout effort for this yard when seventh of 11 at Carlisle (17f) in February. Fell early on handicap debut latest, though, and something to prove at present. Useful on the Flat once but hard to know what ability remains; fell latest.
10th	5 10th (5) (28/1 -75%) Mactavish	28 28/1(-75%)	(5) Mactavish 28/1, Ran best race when second at Uttoxeter (15.8f) in October and likely to have been placed (unseated rider last) over same C&D a fortnight later. Below form when last seen the following month but not out of things on return here. Absent for six months; best efforts have come on good ground; not without hope.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (12/1 -33%) Irish Sovereign	12 12/1(-33%)	(4) Irish Sovereign 12/1, Showed improved form in blinkers when winning a brace of handicaps in 2021/22 and shaped better than distance beaten (on return from 13-month absence for new yard) at Southwell 18 days ago. Warrants respect. Well beaten on stable debut after a year off; down in trip.

LTO Selection:

First-time blinkers proved the tonic for Killane, who appeared to win with something in hand at Sedgefield last month and he's not taken lightly off only 3lb higher in the handicap. However, fellow last-time-winner MAGIC MIKE boasts a lightly-raced profile and a 4lb rise in the ratings for his success at Perth could prove on the lenient side. The majority of the remainder have something to prove at present, with Irish Sovereign feared most now only 1lb higher than his Sedgefield triumph last March.

MAGIC MIKE showed a good attitude when opening his account at Perth last month and remains feasibly treated. He may be able to follow up. Sedgefield-winner Killane looks the likeliest danger, whilst Irish Sovereign also enters calculations.

The improving MAGIC MIKE can follow up his Perth success.

Should have more to offer. Improved 2nd at Newcastle on return; very much one to consider now stamina drawn out more.
8th	5 8th (5) (5/1 -122%) Serengeti Sunset	5 5/1(-122%)	(5) Serengeti Sunset 5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 13/2, fifth of 13 in maiden at Yarmouth (8f, good) 14 days ago. Back up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Likely to improve and looks well worth chancing on first go in a handicap. Off 6 months before fading 5th at Yarmouth latest; more to offer in h'caps; interesting.
9th	12 9th (12) (11/1 -10%) Denis Anthony	11 11/1(-10%)	(12) Denis Anthony 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fourth of 6 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, heavy, 8/1) 18 days ago.

10th	7 10th (7) (80/1 -142%) Vortigan	80 80/1(-142%)	(7) Vortigan 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 14 in handicap (22/1) at Haydock (8f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Up in trip. Something to find on form. Suffered a poor run when ninth at Haydock on return; can take a step forward up in trip.
11th	3 11th (3) (14/1 -17%) Two Past Eight	14 14/1(-17%)	(3) Two Past Eight 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 11 in nursery (18/1) at Newmarket (9f, soft), unable to sustain effort. Off 6 months. Uphill task. Twice failed to build on Sandown 7f fourth last July; no forlorn hope over longer trip.
12th	11 12th (11) (150/1 -127%) Vampire Slayer	150 150/1(-127%)	(11) Vampire Slayer 150/1, Thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Haydock (8f, good to firm, 50/1) 17 days ago. Up in trip. Others more persuasive. Beat only one in 1m Haydock handicap 17 days ago; he needs to get back on track.

LTO Selection:

Eagle Prince showed the benefit of a wind operation when winning at Newcastle and if he improves for that seasonal debut he could be a player here off 4lb higher. The lightly-raced Tiamat is another to consider for a yard who have been flying in recent weeks and she could also get involved, but a chance is taken on SERENGETI SUNSET. The son of Roaring Lion pulled too hard over the Yarmouth mile on his return but may settle better now and it is noted that connections send him into a handicap as opposed to continuing in maiden company.

SERENGETI SUNSET is a good looker who is bred to be better than a mark of 73, so he might well build on his encouraging return at Yarmouth and make a successful start to handicaps. Last-time-out winner Roll It In Glitter is a danger and Orchestra is worthy of respect.

Plenty are in with a shout but SERENGETI SUNSET looks to start life in handicaps on a very workable mark and gets the vote.

LTO Selection:

SHAYEKH made a promising start to his career when passing the post in front at Yarmouth last month, only to be demoted to second place in the stewards' room. Alice Haynes' colt holds leading claims on that performance and compensation could await here. Marroof offered something to work with when placing third on his debut at Bath earlier in the month and he's likely to be in the mix once more. Newcomers Dark Before Dawn and Room Service also warrant consideration.

MARROOF was green on debut but showed enough to think he can win a race like this now more clued up. Shayekh has achieved a bit more in form terms and should be respected while Dark Before Dawn is the pick of the newcomers.

Although clearly not straightforward after the interference he caused at Yarmouth, SHAYEKH must be talented.

1	4 1st (4) (2.25/1 +36%) Sympathise	2.25 2.25/1(+36%)	(4) Sympathise 2.25/1, Lightly-raced winner. 7/1, career best when winning 13-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 21 days ago, responding well. Nudged up just 2 lb and likely to be in the mix if able to reproduce that form now switched to turf. Different proposition handicapping for new yard and hard to rule out if taking to turf.
2	1 2nd (1) (9/1 -227%) Letter Of The Law	9 9/1(-227%)	(1) Letter Of The Law 9/1, 5/2, improved on recent efforts to win 7-runner handicap at Brighton (8f, good) 13 days ago. 4 lb rise could have been worse and he's versatile ground-wise, so has more going for him than many of these rivals. Up 4lb and could be hard to catch if getting to the front back in trip.
3	6 3rd (6) (25/1 -56%) Deacs Delight	25 25/1(-56%)	(6) Deacs Delight 25/1, Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. 4½ lengths sixth of 9 to Fact Or Fable in handicap at Brighton (7f, good, 15/2) 13 days ago. Plenty to find on form. Record of 0-18 and last-time-out sixth to Fact Or Fable are enough to give him a swerve.
4	5 4th (5) (8/1 -78%) Fact Or Fable	8 8/1(-78%)	(5) Fact Or Fable 8/1, Won 9-runner handicap at Brighton (7f, good, 9/2) 13 days ago, driven out. 3 lb rise fair enough and he was runner-up twice here from 3 visits in 2022, so there is certainly cause for optimism, for all this his strike rate on turf (1-26) is very modest. Has gone well here without winning but doesn't look an obvious one to follow up.
5th	3 5th (3) (9/1 +10%) Latent Heat	9 9/1(+10%)	(3) Latent Heat 9/1, Temperamental sort. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 6/1) 17 days ago, missing break. Others make more appeal. Major claims on sole course run but is hard to fancy on what we've seen of late.
6th	8 6th (8) (3.33/1 +52%) Stickyourneckout	3.33 3.33/1(+52%)	(8) Stickyourneckout 3.33/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Fifth of 13 in handicap at Sligo (5.7f, soft, 16/1) 16 days ago. Step back up in trip should help and not ruled out here off 2 lb lower for an Irish yard that does well with its runners (particularly horses aged 4+ on turf) on these shores. Irish maiden; did good late work into fifth over 5.7f on return; watch the market.
7th	2 7th (2) (5/1 +58%) Lilandra	5 5/1(+58%)	(2) Lilandra 5/1, Course winner. Sixth of 8 in handicap (20/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 14 days ago. Needs to bounce back but she evidently goes well here (course form figures read 732351). Still, others preferred. Definite claims if not getting into an early battle with Letter Of The Law.
8th	9 8th (9) (50/1 -52%) Artemisia Gentile	50 50/1(-52%)	(9) Artemisia Gentile 50/1, Last of 7 in handicap (50/1) at Yarmouth (7f, good) 14 days ago. 3 lb 'wrong' at the weights and it's easy enough to look elsewhere. Return looked as if it was needed; a leap of faith would be required to support her today.
9th	7 9th (7) (12/1 -33%) Won Love	12 12/1(-33%)	(7) Won Love 12/1, Fifth of 11 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good, 18/1) 24 days ago and, all things considered, he's likely to find a few too good once more. Recent AW efforts were not his best; first run on turf for a while was only okay last time.

LTO Selection:

SYMPATHISE ran on well over a furlong shorter to win by a neck at Wolverhampton off 2lb lower last month, and the added furlong may help the lightly-raced mare to negate her rise in the handicap. Fact Or Fable seems an obvious rival with two of his four wins coming over this trip, including last time out at Brighton, and he won't be stopping having scored over further. The booking of Hollie Doyle for Won Love is a positive and he is another to note.

LETTER OF THE LAW did the job well under a typically positive ride when resuming winnings ways over a mile at Brighton recently and, with neither a 4 lb rise nor the drop back to 7f of any great concern, he is taken to follow up. Fellow last-time-out winners Sympathise and Fact Or Fable are feared most, in that order of preference. Also worth a mention is Irish-raider Stickyourneckout, who should benefit from the return to this trip.

Letter Of The Law and LILANDRA (both front-runners) appeal most, assuming they don't scupper each other.

4	5 4th (5) (22/1 -38%) Eyeeye	22 22/1(-38%)	(5) Eyeeye 22/1, Fair colt. 10½ lengths last of 5 to Hans Andersen in Leopardstown 2000 Guineas Trial at Leopardstown (7.1f, heavy, 50/1) 44 days ago.

First run for yard after leaving Aidan O'Brien. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Should progress. Bred to stay this trip and new yard is in form, so is worth considering; tongue-tie on.

Back down in trip. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Beaten 44l in a Cork maiden last time and handicaps await after today.
11th	1 11th (1) (25/1 +24%) Cecil Chubb	25 25/1(+24%)	(1) Cecil Chubb 25/1, €52,000 yearling, Fast Company colt. Closely related to very smart winner up to 1m Here Comes When and half-brother to several winners, including 1¼m-1½m winner Melodic Motion. A 52,000euros yearling and is bred to be smart, so worth a market check.

LTO Selection:

JUST AN HOUR has some very notable form on the Polytrack in Dundalk. He had two subsequent maiden winners behind him in third and fourth when runner-up over 1m in December. He may not have quite got home when a beaten favourite in third over an extended 1m2f at the end of March, however, the form got a massive boost when the winner won in Listed company at Chester last week. Signatory is highly thought of as he was due to contest a Group 3 in Leopardstown, but was scratched because of heavy ground. This former Dundalk runner-up has to be respected. Better ground and a longer trip give Duke Of Vienna a chance on his first start since switching to Jessica Harrington. The experienced Walsingham, Narmar and The Black Tiger could have something to offer.

Preference is for WALSINGHAM, who found some improvement when third at Gowran earlier this month and sets the standard on that form. Just An Hour and Narmar head the list of dangers.

JUST AN HOUR had his form boosted by San Antonio in the Dee Stakes and that sways the verdict in his favour.

7	7 \|PU\| (7) (125/1 -213%) Mistamel	125 125/1(-213%)	(7) Mistamel 125/1, Returning from 18 months off when pulled up in handicap hurdle (150/1) at Sedgefield on yard debut 32 days ago. Hard to fancy. Pulled up last month on stable debut after a long absence.

LTO Selection:

Red Vision is likely to prove popular after finishing fourth in a 15-runner affair at Southwell in late-April, with first-time cheekpieces likely to aid his cause today. Donald McCain's gelding merits serious consideration but preference is for STRONG TEAM, who was runner-up behind the progressive Lucky Lover Boy here in November and a reproduction of that effort may suffice. Dakota Moirette's mark continues to fall and reapplied headgear could spark a resurgence.

This can go to RED VISION, who has been given a chance by the handicapper and posted his best effort for some time when fourth at Southwell last month. Strong Team and Lady Hamilton can also make their presence felt.

A repeat of last November's C&D second might do the trick for STRONG TEAM.

17:15 Sligo Claimer 6f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	11 1st (11) (3.5/1 +0%) It'll Do My Day	3.5 3.5/1(+0%)	(11) It'll Do My Day 3.5/1, Fair gelding. One win from 22 Flat runs. Fourteenth of 19 in handicap at Naas (5f, good, 11/1) 10 days ago. Has good chance on pick of form. Has the rating to be a factor and a return to form would see him thereabouts.
2	8 2nd (8) (10/1 +50%) Singe Anglais	10 10/1(+50%)	(8) Singe Anglais 10/1, Fair gelding. Off 9 months. First run for yard after leaving Nigel Tinkler. Visor back on. Five-time winner for Nigel Tinkler; Donegal yard very good at getting horses ready.
3	10 3rd (10) (50/1 -25%) Hot Whispers	50 50/1(-25%)	(10) Hot Whispers 50/1, Modest filly. 40/1, eighteenth of 19 in handicap at Naas (5f, good) 10 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Well beaten in two starts this term and blinkers tried here; has a mountain to climb.
4	4 4th (4) (16/1 -45%) Sunset Nova	16 16/1(-45%)	(4) Sunset Nova 16/1, Fair gelding. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Ninth of 11 in handicap at Cork (7f, soft, 12/1) 11 days ago. Heavily raced and mostly out of form, as his drop down the handicap demonstrates.
5th	3 5th (3) (3.33/1 +45%) Scarlet Dancer	3.33 3.33/1(+45%)	(3) Scarlet Dancer 3.33/1, Fair gelding. Twenty five runs since last win in 2021. Creditable third of 23 in handicap at Navan (5.8f, soft, 16/1) 3 days ago. One to consider. Third in a big-field handicap at Navan on Saturday; not the strongest of finishers.
6th	6 6th (6) (7.5/1 +46%) Mass Gathering	7.5 7.5/1(+46%)	(6) Mass Gathering 7.5/1, Fair mare. C&D winner (took this last year). Fifteenth of 19 in handicap at Naas (5f, good, 33/1) 10 days ago. Blinkers back on. Could bounce back and go well at a price. Not much to recommend for a while but well drawn and not a forlorn hope.
7th	7 7th (7) (7/1 -133%) Hurricane Helen	7 7/1(-133%)	(7) Hurricane Helen 7/1, Unreliable individual. Below form fifth of 10 in minor event (9/2) at Dundalk (10.7f), finding little. Off 109 days. Significantly down in trip. Effective over 7f and a chance that this stiff track will be okay over this short a trip.
8th	13 8th (13) (40/1 -100%) Pastel Power	40 40/1(-100%)	(13) Pastel Power 40/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, eleventh of 12 in handicap (33/1) at Dundalk (8f) 35 days ago. Back down in trip. Promise in 2yo starts for Sir Michael Stoute but shown little in three runs for this yard.
9th	14 9th (14) (28/1 +58%) It Might Be You	28 28/1(+58%)	(14) It Might Be You 28/1, Remains a maiden after 23 Flat runs. Ninth of 16 in handicap (80/1) at Gowran (8f, good to soft) 13 days ago, not clear run. Back down in trip. Has done plenty of racing at this trip but has plenty to find on overall form.
10th	12 10th (12) (150/1 -50%) Magyar	150 150/1(-50%)	(12) Magyar 150/1, Poor gelding. 125/1, last of 14 in handicap at Leopardstown (7.1f, heavy) 41 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Jennifer Monaghan. Poor performer for both previous trainers and would appear to have little chance here.
11th	9 11th (9) (80/1 -21%) Csarina	80 80/1(-21%)	(9) Csarina 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Off 7 months. Significantly down in trip. Showed little in four starts last year; makes little appeal.
12th	2 12th (2) (150/1 -500%) Eyela	150 150/1(-500%)	(2) Eyela 150/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 6 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, heavy, 16/1) 44 days ago. Down in trip. Hooded for 1st time. Hood tried here as she drops back in trip but others preferred.
13th	1 13th (1) (2.25/1 +36%) Inflection Point	2.25 2.25/1(+36%)	(1) Inflection Point 2.25/1, Unreliable type. Latest win at Dundalk in March. Good second of 8 in claimer at Dundalk (7f, 4/1) 46 days ago. Can be headstrong and interesting to see how he handles this track; sets the standard.

LTO Selection:

INFLECTION POINT has done most of his racing on the all-weather in recent times but looks good enough to win this back on the turf. He ran well in a claimer at Dundalk when last seen in late March and even off his lower grass mark of 64 he looks the pick in this company. It'll Do My Day comes out well treated at the weights and looks the danger. The grey hasn't made much impression in big field handicaps on his last couple of outings but did run well a few times this year, including when second at Bellewstown. The 62-rated Hurricane Helen is another who could be given a shout here and could be place material.

Last year's winner MASS GATHERING could be worth chancing. Scarlet Dancer and It'll Do My Day are respected also.

The overall standard set by INFLECTION POINT might just see him home here despite giving weight all round

17:20 Beverley Handicap (Class 6) 12f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (4.5/1 +31%) Edwina Sheeran	4.5 4.5/1(+31%)	(8) Edwina Sheeran 4.5/1, 7/2 and cheekpieces on for first time, good second of 12 in handicap at Thirsk (12f, soft) 42 days ago. Repeat will see her on the premises. Seemed to show improved form when runner-up at Thirsk last time; chance on that form.
2	7 2nd (7) (6/1 -50%) Philos	6 6/1(-50%)	(7) Philos 6/1, 4/1 and blinkered for first time, second of 3 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f) 32 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Not taken lightly for all he isn't the easiest ride. Best effort when third in a 1m4f handicap at Thirsk (soft, cheekpieces); a possible.
3	5 3rd (5) (5.5/1 +45%) Ski Jump	5.5 5.5/1(+45%)	(5) Ski Jump 5.5/1, 66/1, eleventh of 12 in maiden at Doncaster (10.2f, heavy) 45 days ago, finding test too much. Better ground may help but he's up further in trip. Best run over 9.5f on AW; well beaten on only turf run (heavy); longer trip a concern.
4	3 4th (3) (2.25/1 -29%) Book Of Tales	2.25 2.25/1(-29%)	(3) Book Of Tales 2.25/1, Another fair effort when third of 5 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 8 days ago. Expected to be bang there back on turf. Fair runs in 1m4f AW handicaps on his two starts since being gelded; chance.
5th	9 5th (9) (22/1 -38%) Stelios	22 22/1(-38%)	(9) Stelios 22/1, 12/1, fifth of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 35 days ago, weakening quickly. Must cast that effort aside. Modest form to date; behind Edwina Sheeran and Philos when fifth at Thirsk last month.
6th	4 6th (4) (12/1 +14%) American Oak	12 12/1(+14%)	(4) American Oak 12/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 6 in novice event at this course (8.4f, good to soft, 150/1) 27 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Open to progress. Ordinary form; half-brother stayed 1m6f, so should improve for longer trip on h'cap debut.
7th	1 7th (1) (4.5/1 +0%) Kilcummin	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(1) Kilcummin 4.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Third of 5 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW, 11/1) 12 days ago. Makes turf debut and not yet fully exposed. Unexposed; 5l third of five in an AW handicap over 1m4f last time; on a good mark.
8th	6 8th (6) (28/1 +30%) Heart Of Acklam	28 28/1(+30%)	(6) Heart Of Acklam 28/1, 40/1 and cheekpieces on for first time, creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Uphill task. Modest efforts at up to 1m; may improve for the marked step up in trip (dam stayed 1m5f).
9th	2 9th (2) (40/1 -100%) Monophonic	40 40/1(-100%)	(2) Monophonic 40/1, Cheekpieces on for first time, first run since leaving G. M. Lyons when eleventh of 14 in handicap (25/1) at Bath (8f, soft) 39 days ago. Blinkers back on and she needs to leave that low-key stable debut behind. Promise at up to 10.5f in Ireland, but well beaten on stable debut; longer trip a concern.

LTO Selection:

With a lack of winning form to work, with it may pay to side with PHILOS, who ran too freely when tried in blinkers over further at Southwell, but has some acceptable placed form to his name this season. If he fails to give his true running then Edwina Sheeran may be the one to step up, assuming she can repeat her Thirsk second off 1lb lower last month, while both Book Of Tales and Kilcummin could also have a say.

BOOK OF TALES has failed to meet market expectations on his last 2 runs but it's still early days and this looks a good opportunity for him back on turf. Philos might not be totally straightforward but can be a factor at this level, with Edwina Sheeran completing the shortlist.

In a modest contest BOOK OF TALES is taken to get off the mark with Edwina Sheeran and American Oak the main threats.

17:25 Wetherby Stakes (Class 5) 7f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (6.5/1 -18%) American Affair	6.5 6.5/1(-18%)	(1) American Affair 6.5/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fifth of 7 in maiden at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft, 13/2) 11 days ago. Shapes as though this step up in trip will be in his favour and not discounted, for all that improvement is certainly needed. Should do better in time but is passed over for this.
2	4 2nd (4) (9/1 -50%) Glory Sky	9 9/1(-50%)	(4) Glory Sky 9/1, Once-raced maiden. Fourth of 9 in minor event at Bath (8f, good to soft, 14/1) on debut 25 days ago. Will need to step up on that if she's to figure here but in good hands and improvement is entirely possible. Only minor promise when 14-1 for debut at Bath; needs to have gleaned plenty.
3	6 3rd (6) (1.88/1 +16%) Purnika	1.88 1.88/1(+16%)	(6) Purnika 1.88/1, Once-raced maiden. 9/1, fourth of 6 in maiden at Ayr (7.2f, good to firm) on debut 12 days ago. Showed clear signs of ability and likely to be more street-wise this time. Merits respect. Looks the type to take good step forward from debut and be heavily involved.
4	5 4th (5) (12/1 -50%) Perovskia	12 12/1(-50%)	(5) Perovskia 12/1, 2,500 gns foal, €32,000 yearling. Sister to useful 1m winner Jahbath and half-sister to several winners, including 1m-10.5f winner Mikelino and 1½m winner Dragon City. Yard's newcomers usually come on for a run but needs a market check all the same. Yard had three winners from three runners on Saturday and she's well worth a market check.
5th	2 5th (2) (3.33/1 -21%) Gold Guy	3.33 3.33/1(-21%)	(2) Gold Guy 3.33/1, Twice-raced maiden. 3/1, sixth of 9 in minor event at Redcar (7f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Sported blinkers when runner-up on debut at Newcastle, form which has worked out, and may well get back on track now equipped with cheekpieces. Did very well sporting blinkers on debut and can bounce back with headgear reapplied.
6th	3 6th (3) (3.2/1 +42%) Acclaimer	3.2 3.2/1(+42%)	(3) Acclaimer 3.2/1, Twice-raced maiden. 16/1, fourth of 9 in minor event at Redcar (7f, good to soft) 12 days ago (Gold Guy back in sixth). Probably more one for handicaps in due course but not completely ruled out here. Good step forward on second start but of greater interest once handicapping.
7th	7 7th (7) (250/1 -213%) Rajawail	250 250/1(-213%)	(7) Rajawail 250/1, Once-raced maiden. 250/1 and tongue strap on, sixth of 8 in minor event at Southwell (8.1f) on debut 8 days ago. Hard to fancy. 250-1 when beaten just under 17l on debut at Southwell last week (1m); can't fancy.

LTO Selection:

Gold Guy was somewhat underwhelming when finishing down the field at Redcar recently and he may prove worth taking on, despite having sound claims if judged on his runner-up effort on debut at Newcastle in January. PURNIKA should have learned plenty from her racecourse bow when running green at Ayr earlier in the month and she's likely to improve on that fourth-placed finish. The daughter of Mondialiste gets the vote ahead of Glory Sky, who should appreciate this drop to 7f.

A chance is taken on AMERICAN AFFAIR, who needs to improve on what he has shown thus far but this step up in trip offers hope that he will be able to do just that. Gold Guy looked a hard ride at Redcar recently but if the new headgear helps him reproduce something akin to his debut form he will be a big player. Purnika needs a close look on the back of her introduction at Ayr, from which there were positives to take, and newcomer Perovskia is one to note in the betting.

Purnika looks set to take a good step forward but GOLD GUY is fancied to bounce back in returning headgear.

1	4 1st (4) (6.5/1 +19%) Ma Belle Artiste	6.5 6.5/1(+19%)	(4) Ma Belle Artiste 6.5/1, Leopardstown maiden winner. 8¼ lengths seventh of 11 to Zarinsk in listed race (16/1) at Leopardstown (7f, soft). Off 8 months. Yard in good form. Must improve. Below best in a Listed race on final 2yo start; has a bit to find with some of these.
2	2 2nd (2) (2/1 +27%) Impact Warrior	2 2/1(+27%)	(2) Impact Warrior 2/1, Promising individual. 9½ lengths ninth of 10 to Never Ending Story in 1000 Guineas Trial (7/1) at Leopardstown (7.1f, heavy) 44 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Likely to improve for excellent yard. Never involved in a Leopardstown Group 3 on return; this easier but still has to improve.
3	5 3rd (5) (3.5/1 -27%) Maybe Just Maybe	3.5 3.5/1(-27%)	(5) Maybe Just Maybe 3.5/1, Made second start a winning one last summer. 8¼ lengths eighth of 10 to Basil Martini in Weld Park Stakes at the Curragh (7f, soft, 13/2), hampered. Off 7 months but in top hands and she just about sets the standard. Disappointed on soft ground on final 2yo start but has the form to play a major part today.
4	6 4th (6) (10/1 +9%) Starry Heavens	10 10/1(+9%)	(6) Starry Heavens 10/1, Fairly useful filly. Last of 5 in minor event at Cork (10.1f, good to soft, 17/2) 25 days ago. Visor on first time. Ran well in a Group 3 last year but beaten a long way on return at Cork; visor on today.
5th	1 5th (1) (6.5/1 -63%) Drummin Life	6.5 6.5/1(-63%)	(1) Drummin Life 6.5/1, Lightly-raced winner. 5½ lengths sixth of 8 to Caroline Street in Blue Wind Stakes at Naas (10f, good, 14/1) 10 days ago. This is easier. Not beaten far in a 1m2f Group 3 on return at Navan; should be sharper today.
6th	3 6th (3) (3.5/1 +30%) Kayhana	3.5 3.5/1(+30%)	(3) Kayhana 3.5/1, Winning debut at Limerick. 7/1, 6¼ lengths fifth of 11 to Zarinsk in listed race at Leopardstown (7f, soft). Off 8 months. Yard in good form and this trip will suit. Ran a respectable race in a Listed event at Leopardstown in September; goes well fresh.

LTO Selection:

Several potential improvers having their first start of the season. It might be best to side with Aidan O'Brien's MAYBE JUST MAYBE who is the highest rated on a mark of 98. This filly won her maiden in Leopardstown and has a fourth in a Group 2 at the Curragh in the formbook. She holds an Irish 1,000 Guineas entry. Limerick winner Kayhana didn't really threaten on soft ground in Listed class at Leopardstown, but will enjoy this ground. Similar sentiments apply to Roscommon winner Impact Warrior who wasn't at her best on heavy ground in a Group 3 at Leopardstown. Drummin Life has the advantage of a run this season and is next best in the ratings behind Maybe Just Maybe.

IMPACT WARRIOR failed to cope with the mud/step up in class on just her second start at Leopardstown but a tongue tie goes on now and she's fancied to get back on the up. Maybe Just Maybe is sure to be well prepared for this reappearance and is feared most, ahead of Drummin Life.

This looks tricky but MAYBE JUST MAYBE is the top-rated and gets the nod in the hope that the ground doesn't soften.

LTO Selection:

A chance is taken with SEVEN ACES, who comes from a stable that know how to ready one, while her half-brother Clarendon House won on debut himself. Flora Of Bermuda cost 340,000 pounds at a recent breeze-up sale and she must enter calculations, along with Graceful Thunder for the in-form George Boughey team. Miss Mach One shaped with promise on her racecourse bow at Newmarket and she is entitled to improve.

Mostly newcomers, and the market should provide further clues, but George Boughey's GRACEFUL THUNDER is bred to be sharp, and makes plenty of appeal on paper. Andrew Balding's Flora of Bermuda cost a pretty packet when re-sold as a 2-y-o and has to be highly respected, along with once-raced Miss Mach One.

The form standard is set by MISS MACH ONE, while Line Of Fire is open to improvement. A few of the newcomers are interesting.

Dam, point winner, sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 3m) Long House Hall. Made frame completed start in points (Mar 25). Shaped with significant promise in final Irish point but probably best watched here.

Half-sister high-class jumper Lieutenant Colonel; rare bumper runner for good Flat stable.

LTO Selection:

There was a lot to like about TOMMY TIME's facile win on his bumper debut at Kilbeggan last month and his new connections will be hoping that he can repay his subsequent 130,000-euro sale by triumphing under a 7lb penalty here. Fourtowns offered more encouragement when finishing fifth on his second appearance in a NH flat race at Down Royal earlier in the month, but a bigger threat may emerge from Captain Butler, who makes his racecourse bow on the back of a success between the flags.

TOMMY TIME made a good impression when completing a successful debut at Kilbeggan for Lorna Fowler and he's more than likely to defend his unbeaten record starting out for a new yard. Point-winner Captain Butler could pose the main threat and Slugger isn't totally discounted.

Iain Jardine's SLUGGER comes here after holding his own in two good races at Ayr and might be the answer.

Significantly back down in trip. Could be more of a proposition here at his local track and worth a market check.
2	9 2nd (9) (20/1 -122%) Jackie Brown	20 20/1(-122%)	(9) Jackie Brown 20/1, 28/1, twelfth of 14 in handicap at this course (5.7f, soft) 16 days ago. Modest form so far including here last month; others much more likely.
3	1 3rd (1) (12/1 -85%) Lisieux	12 12/1(-85%)	(1) Lisieux 12/1, 11/2, below form sixth of 14 in handicap at this course (5.7f, soft) 16 days ago. Regressive form in three runs this season, including here last time, but not dismissed.

5th	6 5th (6) (2.5/1 +25%) Senado Square	2.5 2.5/1(+25%)	(6) Senado Square 2.5/1, Ready winner over 5f at Naas in March. Bit below form fourth of 14 in handicap at this course (5.7f, soft, 9/2) 16 days ago, finding less than looked likely. Should go well on these terms. Excuses for a poor run at the Curragh and didn't get home over C&D last time.
6th	8 6th (8) (6.5/1 +13%) Asgard's Captain	6.5 6.5/1(+13%)	(8) Asgard's Captain 6.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving Shane Donohoe when creditable 1¾ lengths third of 12 to American In Paris in handicap at Dundalk (6f, 18/1) 35 days ago, nearest finish. Strong-finishing third to American In Paris at Dundalk; this track could suit him well.
7th	10 7th (10) (14/1 +30%) Happenstance	14 14/1(+30%)	(10) Happenstance 14/1, Winner at Dundalk in November. Twelfth of 13 in handicap (16/1) at Gowran (8f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Back down in trip. Others more persuasive. Ineffective stepped up to 1m at Gowran last time but this is a big drop in trip.
8th	5 8th (5) (28/1 -40%) Zouperior	28 28/1(-40%)	(5) Zouperior 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving Mrs J. Harrington when eighth of 14 in handicap (40/1) at this course (5.7f, soft) on return 16 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Didn't run badly on her seasonal bow over C&D here last month; might be more to come.
9th	2 9th (2) (14/1 -155%) Meggy Moo	14 14/1(-155%)	(2) Meggy Moo 14/1, 12/1, good 2¼ lengths fifth of 12 to American In Paris in handicap at Dundalk (6f) 35 days ago, left poorly placed. One to note. Not knocked about at Dundalk and should come on for that first run in eight months.
10th	3 10th (3) (16/1 +20%) American In Paris	16 16/1(+20%)	(3) American In Paris 16/1, Winner at Dundalk in April. Thirteenth of 14 in handicap at this course (5.7f, soft, 11/1) 16 days ago. Well beaten over C&D latest; hardly a model of consistency but quite capable at her best.

LTO Selection:

MASTER GARVEY ran well to finish third here 16 days ago and may be able to strike now. The Dragon Pulse gelding stayed on well then from off the pace and has a better draw this time in stall five. He may be able to confirm form with the fourth-placed horse Senado Square. Andy Slattery's charge made his move turning for home the last day before fading late on. He was widest of all last time and the draw hasn't been kind again. Asgard's Captain ran well on his handicap debut at Dundalk last month and is still unexposed. He could be a big player now.

MASTER GARVEY showed there is a race in him here last time and could be the way to go. Senado Square and Meggy Moo should be in the mix also.

It might be worth taking a chance on ASGARD'S CAPTAIN who caught the eye when a strong finishing third at Dundalk last month

6th	1 6th (1) (11/1 -175%) Slingsbytoo	11 11/1(-175%)	(1) Slingsbytoo 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable fifth of 9 in handicap (10/1) at Beverley (7.4f, soft) 15 days ago, slowly away. Visor on 1st time. Possibilities dropped in grade, provided he takes well to headgear.

10th	10 10th (10) (50/1 +24%) Havanawing	50 50/1(+24%)	(10) Havanawing 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at this course (8f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Up against it. No worthwhile form; headgear enlisted.

LTO Selection:

There was a lot of encouragement to be taken from PLATINUM GIRL's runner-up effort on her seasonal debut at Doncaster last month and a reproduction of that performance may be enough to see Tim Easterby's filly gain a first success today. Midnight Flame finished a fair fourth on her return to action at Catterick in mid-April and a further 2lb drop in the ratings should see her in the mix, while H Key Lails and Slingsbytoo also enter the equation.

PLATINUM GIRL took a step forward when second in a 15-runner event at Doncaster on return and, with an easy lead likely in this lesser race, she gets the nod ahead of Midnight Flame, who wasn't disgraced at Catterick a month ago. Slingsbytoo is also worth a mention in first-time headgear.

Doncaster runner-up PLATINUM GIRL holds leading form claims. Class-dropper Slingsbytoo is second choice.

Feane when second of 5 in maiden at Sligo (5.7f, good to soft, 11/4) 16 days ago, finishing well. Should progress. Promising on only run at two, looked in need of a trip such as this on debut for stable.
2	4 2nd (4) (1/1 +47%) Fernao	1 1/1(+47%)	(4) Fernao 1/1, Promising sort. Third of 16 in maiden (4/1) at Limerick (8f, soft) on debut 24 days ago, very slowly away. Open to improvement. Ran green when third on belated debut at Limerick, should go close with normal improvement.
3	7 3rd (7) (3.2/1 -28%) Most Wanted	3.2 3.2/1(-28%)	(7) Most Wanted 3.2/1, Twice-raced gelding. 3/1, third of 17 in maiden at Gowran (9.6f, heavy) 28 days ago. Leading claims. Looks capable of winning a maiden of this standard, form of Gowran second has been boosted.
4	8 4th (8) (10/1 +60%) Old Peculier	10 10/1(+60%)	(8) Old Peculier 10/1, Thrice-raced gelding. Fifth of 16 in maiden (66/1) at Limerick (8f, soft) 24 days ago, not knocked about. One to look out for in handicaps in due course. Noted staying on when fifth at Limerick, almost 7l to find with third-placed Fernao.
5th	11 5th (11) (9/1 -20%) God Knows	9 9/1(-20%)	(11) God Knows 9/1, Promising type. 28/1, seventh of 15 in maiden at the Curragh (8f, good to soft) on debut, best work finish. Off 10 months. Should improve. Overall form of the Curragh maiden in which she was seventh last July makes good reading.
6th	12 6th (12) (16/1 -45%) Valkyrie Gray	16 16/1(-45%)	(12) Valkyrie Gray 16/1, Caravaggio filly. Represents a respected yard and needs a market check. First foal, winning dam is a half-sister to the stable's recent Group 3 winner Sprewell.
7th	3 7th (3) (250/1 -67%) Black Smoke	250 250/1(-67%)	(3) Black Smoke 250/1, Twice-raced gelding on Flat. 200/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, ninth of 12 in maiden at Bellewstown (12f, heavy) 40 days ago.

11th	5 11th (5) (250/1 -67%) Mid Life Crisis	250 250/1(-67%)	(5) Mid Life Crisis 250/1, Once-raced gelding on Flat. Last of 9 in maiden at this course (11.2f, soft, 80/1) on flat debut. Off 7 months. Down in trip. No worthwhile form in a bumper and three maiden hurdles, last of nine only Flat start.

LTO Selection:

Frankel colt FERNAO was gambled on ahead of her debut at Limerick last month and put in plenty of good late work for third after a tardy start. With that experience banked, and better ground on offer here, he is taken to improve. Arniemac wasn't given a hard time in second behind a clear-cut winner at Sligo and is entitled to come on for the run. Most Wanted has looked like a winner waiting to happen after two close third places at Leopardstown and Gowran Park. He drops back in trip and has solid claims. The one caveat is that his sire's progeny are showing a preference for some cut in the ground. This ground is drying out all the time. Caravaggio filly Valkyrie Gray is a newcomer from a strong yard that should be monitored in the market.

ARNIEMAC shaped well on sole start for John Feane last year and did so again starting out for this yard in a 5.7f maiden won by a decent type at Sligo. He was doing all his best worth at the finish there, leaving the strong impression that this step up in trip is just what he needs (pedigree also suggests that this trip, and perhaps further in time, will be far more suitable). He gets the nod ahead of a similar promising type in Fernao. Most Wanted and God Knows are strong candidates, too.

Third on his only two outings MOST WANTED has good prospects here with the form of his Gowran effort boosted by the runner-up

This is tougher but he remains capable of better. Record of 112 since handicapping, unlucky second at Windsor latest; now upped two grades.

Up 6 lb but could go on progressing over this longer distance. Quickly resumed his progress at Windsor two weeks ago; now 3-4 in handicaps.
3	6 3rd (6) (66/1 -65%) Steven Seagull	66 66/1(-65%)	(6) Steven Seagull 66/1, Maiden who went backwards from a mildly promising handicap debut on his return when fading at Brighton. Cheekpieces go on. Hard to fancy from well out of the weights. Went close on sole AW attempt; no worthwhile form on turf; 16lb out of weights.
4	3 4th (3) (1.38/1 +50%) Roost	1.38 1.38/1(+50%)	(3) Roost 1.38/1, Took a step forward making handicap debut upped to 12f at Doncaster recently, doing little wrong and beaten only by a probable stronger stayer. Nudged up 3 lb but should have more to offer and yard have enjoyed plenty of success with this family. Blinkers go on. Clear second at Doncaster (handicap debut) last month; major player in first-time headgear.

LTO Selection:

The one with the potential to improve most for the step up in trip could be ROOST, whose most recent second at Doncaster was a highly-encouraging effort on his handicap debut. Enochdhu won well at Windsor last time out and must be respected, along with Cinnodin, who has won two of his last three starts and is proven over the distance.

ROOST should have more to offer over this sort of trip and could come home in front in first-time blinkers. It's a trappy contest though and cases can be made for most of the others, with Windsor-winner Enochdhu selected for the forecast.

Doncaster runner-up ROOST (nap) could well go one better. Cinnodin and Enochdhu are progressing nicely.

LTO Selection:

BLAZING SUNSET ran well in a decent maiden on his sole start at Killarney last July and should be good enough to win on his return. The Bated Breath colt missed the kick a bit on debut but stayed on nicely at the business end when fourth to Alder. That form has worked out well since with the winner second in the Dee Stakes at Chester the other day. The runner-up Hiawatha was group placed subsequently while the third horse Valiant King won easily at Navan on Saturday. Golden Temple sets the standard off a mark of 80 and has to be respected on the pick of his form last season. The Great Kingdom is an interesting debutant for Joseph O'Brien. The Dream Ahead gelding is a half-brother to St Leger winner Galileo Chrome.

BLAZING SUNSET likely has plenty more to offer and could be up to making a winning return. The Great Kingdom, a half-brother to the yard's St Leger hero Galileo Chrome, must be worth a look on debut, while stablemate Right Now should do better this year.

Not much leap of imagination is needed to come down on the side of Joseph O'Brien's well-bred newcomer THE GREAT KINGDOM

8th	2 8th (2) (14/1 -155%) Rocket Rod	14 14/1(-155%)	(2) Rocket Rod 14/1, Fourth of 7 in handicap (4/1) at Newcastle (8f) 53 days ago, faring best of those held up. No surprise were he to step up on that reappearance and he's a big player if he can carry that over to turf. Frame possibilities if transferring his AW ability back to turf.
9th	12 9th (12) (18/1 +28%) Mr Trevor	18 18/1(+28%)	(12) Mr Trevor 18/1, Latest win at Newcastle in November. 22/1, last of 14 in handicap at this course (8f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Return to 7f very much in his favour. Finished last of 14 in 1m contest here on seasonal debut; others preferred.
10th	9 10th (9) (18/1 -13%) Viva Voce	18 18/1(-13%)	(9) Viva Voce 18/1, Latest win at Southwell in March. 12/1, respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Redcar (7f, heavy) 29 days ago. Looks unfavourably treated, having gained all wins off lower marks.
11th	8 11th (8) (16/1 +11%) First Greyed	16 16/1(+11%)	(8) First Greyed 16/1, Last of 18 in handicap at Redcar (7f, heavy, 33/1). Off 6 months and still above last winning mark. First-time-out record suggests this reappearance will be needed.

LTO Selection:

SLAINTE MHATH has been in excellent form recently with wins at Redcar and Hamilton sandwiching a second at Thirsk, and connections send her here under a 5lb penalty looking to make the most of the cut in the ground. Mr Trevor didn't appear to get home over the mile here on his return, but three of his four wins have been over this trip and he could go well, along with top-weight Al Baahy, whose recent Wolverhampton third reads well in this company.

This looks wide open but MR TREVOR should be all the better with his reappearance behind him and with the return to 7f sure to suit he gets the vote. Rocket Rod and Slainte Mhath are fit and in form, which may take both a long way in this.

With his stable form and the return of headgear both big positives, ZUMURUD is preferred. Admiral Nelson is second choice.

1	10 1st (10) (4.5/1 +55%) Dappled Light	4.5 4.5/1(+55%)	(10) Dappled Light 4.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Good fourth of 13 in handicap (10/3) at Dundalk (7f), slowly away. Off 123 days. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Respected. Cheekpieces on; yard does well at this track but is racing from 5lb out of the handicap.
2	3 2nd (3) (5/1 +50%) Gunsight	5 5/1(+50%)	(3) Gunsight 5/1, Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at Cork (8f, soft, 20/1) 11 days ago. Each-way claims. Poor over 1m3f at Limerick two starts ago but a better run back over 1m in a Cork handicap.
3	11 3rd (11) (18/1 +18%) Monnow Valley	18 18/1(+18%)	(11) Monnow Valley 18/1, Visored for 1st time, seventh of 8 in handicap at Sligo (10.6f, soft, 11/1) 16 days ago, unsuited by step up in trip. Back down in trip. Has work to do. Below form on testing ground at Sligo but this will suit better; 5lb out of the weights.
4	7 4th (7) (5/1 -25%) Elmo Lincoln	5 5/1(-25%)	(7) Elmo Lincoln 5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Excellent second of 16 in handicap at Gowran (7f, soft, 10/1) 27 days ago. 2 lb rise fair and holds strong claims. Runner-up over 7f on handicap debut last time; not sure another furlong is what he needs.
5th	1 5th (1) (3.5/1 +30%) Malacanne	3.5 3.5/1(+30%)	(1) Malacanne 3.5/1, Landed back-to-back victories at Dundalk earlier this year and remains fairly treated back on turf here. Visor on 1st time. Must enter calculations. Won twice at Dundalk; could run well for in-form yard; best form on a sound surface.
6th	4 6th (4) (14/1 -40%) Jazz Forever	14 14/1(-40%)	(4) Jazz Forever 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 3/1, 2¾ lengths fifth of 8 to Malacanne in handicap at Dundalk (8f). Off 109 days. First run for yard after leaving M. Halford. Hood on 1st time. Others more persuasive. Showed ability on AW; gelded since and hood is added for seasonal/stable debut.
7th	5 7th (5) (3.5/1 +30%) Sea Spray	3.5 3.5/1(+30%)	(5) Sea Spray 3.5/1, Promising sort. Seventh of 14 in maiden (12/1) at Dundalk (7f). Off 153 days. Likely more to come on handicap debut and is one for shortlist. Showed some ability in maidens last year and is of interest on handicap/seasonal debut.
8th	8 8th (8) (14/1 +0%) Riesling	14 14/1(+0%)	(8) Riesling 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 11 in handicap (14/1) at Dundalk (7f) 53 days ago. Makes turf debut. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Never got involved on handicap debut at Dundalk; makes debut on turf today off 4lb lower.
9th	2 9th (2) (20/1 -25%) Marsh Lock	20 20/1(-25%)	(2) Marsh Lock 20/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Last of 15 in maiden (14/1) at Limerick (7f, soft) 24 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Something to find on form. Way below best on seasonal debut at Limerick; faster ground could help now on handicap bow.

LTO Selection:

MALACANNE was tough in winning his last two starts on the Polytrack in Dundalk. He gets a visor on this switch to turf and could give weight away to the field, particularly as those Dundalk successes were in higher grades. Sea Spray enters handicap company off a mark of 68 and it is reasonable to assume he could do a bit of damage as he was a close fourth in a Dundalk maiden in November. Dappled Light hasn't been beaten far in his last two starts in Dundalk and races off a lowly mark. He gets first-time cheekpieces. Elmo Lincoln attempted to make all over 7f in Gowran Park before finishing second. He is likely to have more horses behind him than in front of him. Jockey Jamie-Lee Gonet has finished runner-up in two of her three rides to date. She claims 10lb from Gunsight.

ELMO LINCOLN upped his game when second on handicap debut at Gowran last month and remains low mileage. He gets the nod. Sea Spray and Malacanne head the list of dangers.

In great form when last seen at Dundalk but had good turf form too, MALACANNE can continue his winning run.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (12/1 +57%) Captain Winters	12 12/1(+57%)	(1) Captain Winters 12/1, Novice winner at Thirsk last summer who excelled himself when third in listed company at Haydock in September. Didn't look straightforward on reappearance/handicap debut fitted with cheekpieces and no easy task on these terms. 10l behind Finn's Charm at Musselburgh last month; bottom of this pack on ratings.
2	3 2nd (3) (8/1 +0%) Grey's Monument	8 8/1(+0%)	(3) Grey's Monument 8/1, Totally different proposition since fitted with blinkers, improving another chunk when supplementing his Haydock success at York. Heavy defeat in the Greenham on return but this is easier and he now goes up in trip. Took well to blinkers last autumn; form dipped in the Greenham on reappearance.
3	4 3rd (4) (0.44/1 +34%) Slipofthepen	0.44 0.44/1(+34%)	(4) Slipofthepen 0.44/1, Night of Thunder colt who overcame inexperience to make a winning debut in the manner of a potentially smart colt in a Kempton novice in November (1m). Defied greenness when following up over same C&D and there could be a lot more to come from him. Unbeaten in two starts, both at Kempton; very promising and commands major respect.
4	2 4th (2) (4.5/1 -125%) Finn's Charm	4.5 4.5/1(-125%)	(2) Finn's Charm 4.5/1, Won 7f maiden on second start and made frame in Chesham Stakes on next outing. Heavy defeats final 2 starts of juvenile campaign but bounced back in no uncertain terms when a decisive all-the-way- winner at Musselburgh last month. Just about the one to beat. Impressive in Musselburgh handicap on seasonal debut; leading player on the figures.

LTO Selection:

The John and Thady Gosden stable have won three of the last four renewals of this contest and they could have another smart sort on their hands in the shape of SLIPOFTHEPEN. A comfortable winner of both starts at Kempton, the three-year-old is well related and should have too much for Grey's Monument, who is far better than what he showed in the Greenham on his return. Finn's Charm wasn't for catching at Musselburgh last month and he could be dangerous once more if let loose on the lead.

SLIPOFTHEPEN outclassed the opposition in a brace of 1m novice events at Kempton 4 months apart and his Group 1 entries confirm the regard he's held in. He can remain unbeaten switched to turf, though Finn's Charm is a streetwise opponent who will be dangerous if getting into a nice rhythm at the head of affairs.

Highly promising SLIPOFTHEPEN is taken to come with a telling swoop and collar likely front-runner Finn's Charm late on.

8th	5 8th (5) (40/1 -150%) Kami	40 40/1(-150%)	(5) Kami 40/1, Good fifth of 14 in handicap (25/1) at this course (5.7f, soft) 16 days ago. Significantly up in trip and she needs to improve for it. Has shown ability over shorter but whether she'll stay this far remains to be seen..

LTO Selection:

There may be more to come from TEA OLIVE stepping up in trip. The Mukhadram filly got up late on to pip Duke Of Leggagh at Gowran Park last month in a tight finish. The form has received a boost since with the third-placed Semblance Of Order winning a maiden at this track. A 5lb rise for that victory doesn't look harsh. Whisky On The Hill is the other last time out winner in the field, having scored over course and distance 16 days ago. He won with a bit in hand then so has to be respected despite a 8lb hike. Picture Of A City ran well on his handicap debut when fourth at Leopardstown and may appreciate dropping back a bit in trip here. He looks like another for the shortlist.

WHISKY ON THE HILL overcame a poor track position when successful here a fortnight ago and his revised mark looks well within range. Tea Olive also arrives on the up and is a threat, along with Show No Fear.

Although 8lb higher than for his success 16 days ago, WHISKY ON THE HILL won that in the style of an improver.

LTO Selection:

Masque Of Anarchy likes this trip, with six of his seven career wins over 10f, but he may need a quicker surface to be seen at his best and preference is for DEFERRED, who steps back up in trip after looking outpaced over shorter at Beverley. He can go close off the same mark, though both the penalty-carrying Ayr winner Morning Sun and Pontefract fifth Western Stars could also pick up some prize money.

MASQUE OF ANARCHY added another victory to his impressive haul when scoring at Pontefract earlier this month and remains feasibly treated. He can score again. Morning Sun was having only his second start for Keith Dalgleish when winning at Ayr last week and is feared most, whilst Western Stars can also make his presence felt.

The interesting horse is last week's penalised Ayr winner MORNING SUN (nap), who is well related and has the potential to rate higher.

Won 16-runner handicap (12/1) at Cork (8f, good to soft) 25 days ago, having benefit of enterprising ride. Left her winter form at Dundalk behind when winning at Cork, second has boosted the form.

LTO Selection:

MISS CUNNING has a shot at following up her Cork success. The horses that chased her home in second and third have both come out and won on their next starts to really strengthen the form. In fact, the third-placed horse has won two races since Cork. Simply Sideways also arrives in winning form after a comfortable victory in Gowran Park. Afterwards, her trainer commented that she has got bigger and stronger. That gives her a chance of defying the handicapper who has tacked on 12lb. Double Martini was only beaten by a head on his last start in Dundalk. Rock Etoile and Kodiac Prince also have claims.

The suggestion is KODIAC PRINCE who stepped up on his reappearance when third at Gowran last week and looks capable of exploiting his current mark. Born Invincible wasn't seen to best effect in a big field at the Curragh last month and is an interesting contender having dipped below her last successful mark. Recent easy Gowran scorer Simply Sideways and Rock Etoile are others to consider.

This could be a good opportunity for KODIAC PRINCE who has become competitive again now that he is 9lb below his last winning mark

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (2.25/1 +50%) Artistic Star	2.25 2.25/1(+50%)	(2) Artistic Star 2.25/1, Galileo colt. Brother to 3 winners, including smart 1¼m-12.5f winner Harpo Marx. Looked a good prospect in making a successful debut in a maiden at Nottingham (8.3f, soft) in October. Will stay at least 1¼m, and is sure to progress. Knew his job when the narrow winner of a Nottingham maiden (8.5f, soft) in October..
2	4 2nd (4) (3.5/1 +36%) Torito	3.5 3.5/1(+36%)	(4) Torito 3.5/1, Kingman half-brother to connections' very smart 1¼m-1½m winner Journey. Couldn't justify favouritism in a 1m Newbury novice on his debut but shaped with plenty of promise in third and made the most of a good opportunity at Nottingham (8.3f) 6 months on. Remains open to significant improvement. Won nicely at Nottingham and holds the Derby entry; clear contender..
3	6 3rd (6) (2.5/1 +55%) Tajawal	2.5 2.5/1(+55%)	(6) Tajawal 2.5/1, Fared best of the newcomers when second in 1m Kempton novice in December and sure to have gone very close but for residual greenness (hung badly right) when asked for maximum effort at Wolverhampton 4 months on. Visor on for 1st time and should continue to progress. Visor could make a difference and his Wolverhampton third is strong form..
4	1 4th (1) (3.33/1 -266%) Royal Symbol	3.33 3.33/1(-266%)	(1) Royal Symbol 3.33/1, From a good family and made a fine start when landing 1m Kempton maiden in December 2021. That form worked out really well (next 6 behind all won next time, including subsequent Group 2/Listed winners) and he could have plenty more to come up in trip this year. Had breathing op. Off since a winning debut in late 2021; now gelded and had wind op; unexposed..
5th	5 5th (5) (66/1 -32%) Star Of Sussex	66 66/1(-32%)	(5) Star Of Sussex 66/1, Showed a lot more than on debut upped in trip when third of 13 in maiden at Lingfield (10f, AW), left poorly placed. Off 6 months. Open to further improvement. Should be winning races sooner or later but this looks a tough task on reappearance..
6th	3 6th (3) (18/1 -50%) Clever Relation	18 18/1(-50%)	(3) Clever Relation 18/1, Intello gelding who is bred to need time and distance so it was all the more encouraging to see him make a winning start in a 10f novice at Windsor (heavy) 29 days ago. Open to plenty of improvement. Quickened up well off modest fractions to make a successful start at Windsor (1m2f, soft)..

LTO Selection:

This looks an interesting contest but it may be best to side with TAJAWAL, who gets weight from all bar one of his rivals. Only beaten a length when third at Wolverhampton, despite hanging badly, he sports a first-time visor now which should keep him on the straight and narrow. Artistic Star might prove the biggest danger on his first start of the season after winning at Nottingham last October, while Royal Symbol returns form a very long absence for Charlie Appleby and has to give a stone or more to all of these.

A very interesting novice featuring 4 previous winners. ARTISTIC STAR looked a good prospect when getting the job done at the first attempt at Nottingham in October and, given his smart pedigree, he's open to oodles of improvement and edges the vote. Royal Symbol hasn't been seen for 17 months, but his debut win couldn't have worked out any better, while Torito and Clever Relation are others with plenty of potential to improve.

Trappy. TAJAWAL must be smart to have run so well in a strong maiden at Wolverhampton despite lacking focus in the closing stages.

19:20 Sligo Handicap 10f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	4 1st (4) (6.5/1 -30%) In From The Cold	6.5 6.5/1(-30%)	(4) In From The Cold 6.5/1, Course winner. Seventeenth of 21 in handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (20.2f, good to soft, 80/1) 60 days ago. Fairly useful on the Flat and given a chance by the handicapper. Ran at Cheltenham last time but placed over this far on the AW prior to that..
2	1 2nd (1) (4/1 +0%) Sir Antonino	4 4/1(+0%)	(1) Sir Antonino 4/1, 9/1, respectable fifth of 14 in minor event at Galway (8.6f, soft). Off 8 months. Back up in trip. Yard in good form and sure to be well prepared for this. Only 2lb higher than for that last win and being gelded could bring him on some more..
3	9 3rd (9) (9/1 +55%) Red Ball Of Fire	9 9/1(+55%)	(9) Red Ball Of Fire 9/1, Last of 12 in handicap (12/1) at Dundalk (12f). Off 6 months. Has work to do. Dual hurdle winner but comfortably held back on the Flat on her final two runs..
4	6 4th (6) (11/1 +31%) En Or	11 11/1(+31%)	(6) En Or 11/1, 25/1, thirteenth of 15 in handicap at Deauville (9.9f, good). Off 8 months. First run for yard after leaving F. Head. One to monitor in the market. Ex-French three-time winner; market helpful in gauging expectations..
5th	5 5th (5) (4.5/1 -50%) Persian Queen	4.5 4.5/1(-50%)	(5) Persian Queen 4.5/1, Improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner handicap (5/4) at Cork (8f, soft) 11 days ago, keeping on well. Significantly back up in trip and likely to give it another good shot. Made all for comfortable win at Cork; strong candidate despite this 10lb higher mark..
6th	7 6th (7) (5/1 +29%) Gradulations	5 5/1(+29%)	(7) Gradulations 5/1, C&D winner. Good sixth of 16 in handicap (12/1) at Limerick (8f, soft) 24 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Won her maiden over C&D last May but she's 0-5 in handicaps..
7th	3 7th (3) (18/1 +0%) Dalvey	18 18/1(+0%)	(3) Dalvey 18/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 20/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Tipperary (12.4f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Never at the races last time at Tipperary and Dundalk is much more his scene..
8th	8 8th (8) (20/1 +50%) Out On Friday	20 20/1(+50%)	(8) Out On Friday 20/1, 18/1, last of 14 in handicap at Gowran (9.4f, soft) 6 days ago. Down the field in the mud this season and getting back on better ground is a big plus..
9th	2 9th (2) (3.2/1 -7%) Tellthemi'mhere	3.2 3.2/1(-7%)	(2) Tellthemi'mhere 3.2/1, 2 wins from 2 runs this year. 7/2, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at this course (10.6f, soft) 16 days ago, having run of race. 10 lb rise asks for more. Well on top at the finish after making all over C&D; up another 8lb but on a roll..

LTO Selection:

The in-foal PERSIAN QUEEN may be able to bag another win before heading to the paddocks. She landed a serious gamble at Cork last time in testing conditions and connections will be hoping the juice stays in the ground today. She won with a nice bit in hand last time and a 10lb hike may not be enough to stop her following up. Tellthemi'mhere comes here on a hat-trick and was a good winner over course and distance 16 days ago. She is another trying to defy a 10lb hike and has to be respected. The top-weight Sir Antonino won twice last season, including at the Galway festival. His best form was on nice ground so any drying will be in his favour.

PERSIAN QUEEN justified strong support at Cork 11 days ago and, given the way she found for pressure there, this step back up in trip will likely suit. In From The Cold is well weighted in this sphere, with En Or worth a market check on Irish debut.

In-form mares are a dangerous species and PERSIAN QUEEN might be capable of defying a further hike in the weights.

19:30 Wetherby Handicap (Class 5) 6f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (12/1 +0%) Ballyare	12 12/1(+0%)	(2) Ballyare 12/1, 12/1 and blinkered for 1st time (retained here), thirteenth of 16 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, soft) 38 days ago. Now 2 lb lower compared to when a close third at Wolverhampton in February but his strike rate on turf (1-18) is hardly compelling. Excuses last time and on a useful mark following a winless winter..
2	4 2nd (4) (7.5/1 -7%) Hail Sezer	7.5 7.5/1(-7%)	(4) Hail Sezer 7.5/1, 9/4, bit below form fifth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) when last seen in November, hampered. Won 2 on the bounce prior to that and place possibilities back on turf, provided the word 'soft' doesn't appear in the going description. Lacks a run and perhaps vulnerable anyway dropped to 5f..
3	1 3rd (1) (3/1 +67%) Abate	3 3/1(+67%)	(1) Abate 3/1, Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, heavy, 12/1) 24 days ago. Given a chance by the handicapper and not ruled out with that reappearance spin under his belt. Mark has dropped for a reason but there were positives to take from Thirsk..
4	9 4th (9) (25/1 -79%) Golden Rainbow	25 25/1(-79%)	(9) Golden Rainbow 25/1, 9/2, eighth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 46 days ago. Refitting of cheekpieces/subsequent wind op are potentially positive factors but record on turf stands at 0-8. Might benefit from wind surgery and, although 0-8 on grass, he's twice been runner-up..
5th	8 5th (8) (6/1 +0%) Rory	6 6/1(+0%)	(8) Rory 6/1, Fourth of 6 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good, 5/2) 9 days ago. Remains 4 lb above last winning mark and while he won't be far away if he puts his best foot forward, others make more appeal on balance. Consistent four-time winner and can be forgiven this season's defeats..
6th	7 6th (7) (4/1 -14%) Dandy Spirit	4 4/1(-14%)	(7) Dandy Spirit 4/1, C&D winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Won 6-runner handicap (11/2) at Nottingham (6.1f, heavy) 4 days ago. More needed up slightly in class here under a penalty if he's to complete the hat-trick. Hat-trick seeker; needs respecting for all that he's penalised in a higher grade..
7th	6 7th (6) (33/1 -50%) Cotai West	33 33/1(-50%)	(6) Cotai West 33/1, 14/1, last of 11 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, heavy) 24 days ago. That was a heavy defeat (beaten 25 lengths) but the run was probably needed (first start for 8 months) and she's capable of playing a part off this mark if on-song. Temptingly treated but not after such a lacklustre reappearance..
8th	3 8th (3) (3/1 +0%) Bert Kibbler	3 3/1(+0%)	(3) Bert Kibbler 3/1, Latest win at Southwell in March. Creditable second of 7 in handicap (2/1) at Ayr (5f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Has to be taken seriously off the same mark, particularly if the ground dries out. All wins on the AW but went close at Ayr (5f) on his return to quicker ground..
9th	5 9th (5) (14/1 -56%) Sherdil	14 14/1(-56%)	(5) Sherdil 14/1, 22/1, below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (5f, heavy) 44 days ago. Entitled to come on for that run and wouldn't be without hope if matching the pick of last season's form. One of 3 representing his yard. Only fifth on his return but wasn't beaten far and the ground was soft (wants it quicker)..

LTO Selection:

BERT KIBBLER was beaten less than a length at Ayr off this mark last time out and with the number one stall to help him, he could go close for a stable whose horses are running well. Dandy Spirit is looking for a hat-trick after narrow wins over this C&D and at Nottingham but a 5lb penalty may anchor him, leaving Hail Sezer as a bigger danger if he can repeat his all-weather form back on the turf.

BERT KIBBLER bumped into a well-treated rival when hitting the crossbar at Ayr recently and is taken to go one better off the same mark here. Next on the list is Abate, who has been given a chance by the handicapper and will be a threat if building on his reappearance spin at Thirsk, while Sherdil may also come on for his seasonal reappearance and is respected judged on his 2022 exploits. Dandy Spirit is bound to be a popular in his hat-trick bid but has more on his plate here under a penalty.

Preference is for SHERDIL, who would have found the ground too soft on his reappearance. A similar comment applies to Abate.

19:35 Killarney Handicap 17f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	9 1st (9) (2.75/1 +0%) Grappa Nonino	2.75 2.75/1(+0%)	(9) Grappa Nonino 2.75/1, Creditable second of 12 in handicap at Sligo (13.1f, soft, 10/3) 16 days ago. Likely to benefit from this stiffer test and he has to be high on the shortlist. Winning hurdler, 0-10 on Flat but could feature after recent Sligo second over 1m5f.
2	10 2nd (10) (1.25/1 +79%) Barometer	1.25 1.25/1(+79%)	(10) Barometer 1.25/1, Respectable sixth of 15 in handicap (14/1) at Gowran (14f, soft) 6 days ago. Up in trip and he's one to consider. Progressive in five races between June and August last year, not a bad run last week.
3	3 3rd (3) (6/1 +45%) Away To Sea	6 6/1(+45%)	(3) Away To Sea 6/1, Below form tenth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy, 11/2) 110 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Claims judged on peak form in this sphere but others look stronger on balance. Has been running over hurdles, has shown best Flat form at this venue, worth considering.
4	1 4th (1) (12/1 -243%) Rich Belief	12 12/1(-243%)	(1) Rich Belief 12/1, First run since leaving Karl Thornton when 8/1, career best when winning 19-runner handicap at Navan (13f, heavy) 24 days ago, driven out. Back up in trip and has rejoined yard after leaving Shane Crawley. Player up 6 lb. Winner over 1m5f at Navan on seasonal debut, has won over 1m7f, trip not a problem.
5th	5 5th (5) (8.5/1 -42%) Takarengo	8.5 8.5/1(-42%)	(5) Takarengo 8.5/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 11/2, second of 10 in novice chase at Clonmel (19.9f, heavy) on debut over fences 40 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and he's a live contender off a workable mark back in this sphere. Dual-purpose type, placed only once in 12 Flat starts since Clonmel win in September 2021.
6th	6 6th (6) (22/1 -120%) The Jam Man	22 22/1(-120%)	(6) The Jam Man 22/1, 5/1, pulled up in handicap chase at Downpatrick (28.6f, heavy) 44 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Ronan M. P. McNally. Creditable effort on latest start in this sphere and not without hope. Ten-time jumps winner, ran well at Dundalk on his penultimate start for Ronan McNally.
7th	12 7th (12) (100/1 -25%) War Thunder	100 100/1(-25%)	(12) War Thunder 100/1, Ninth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (16.4f, heavy, 40/1) 64 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Modest on the Flat, poor on last Flat outing. Not easy to make a case for. Last five runs have been over hurdles, nothing in his 2022 Flat form inspires confidence.
8th	2 8th (2) (18/1 -13%) Last Ammo	18 18/1(-13%)	(2) Last Ammo 18/1, 20/1, first run since leaving Charlie Appleby when tenth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (16f) 74 days ago. Others preferred. Middle-distance winner for Charlie Appleby, debatable if can stay this trip effectively.
9th	8 9th (8) (100/1 -203%) Kingsofthemidlands	100 100/1(-203%)	(8) Kingsofthemidlands 100/1, 125/1, sixth of 10 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (16f, heavy) 56 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Fairly useful on the Flat, below form on last Flat outing. Needs a couple of these to falter. Showed ability on the Flat for Andrew Balding, modest form in four maiden hurdle runs.
10th	13 10th (13) (11/1 -10%) Swelltime	11 11/1(-10%)	(13) Swelltime 11/1, In the process of running well when falling 2 out in a handicap hurdle at Limerick (16.2f, soft, 18/1) 51 days ago. Pretty consistent in this sphere and should give a good account. Enjoyed a fine campaign in 2022, faller in a handicap hurdle in March, 5lb out of handicap.
11th	11 11th (11) (150/1 -88%) Superlike	150 150/1(-88%)	(11) Superlike 150/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Fifteenth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (16.8f, good to soft, 80/1) 15 days ago. Significantly up in trip and cheekpieces on for 1st time. Makes handicap debut in this sphere. Modest Flat form, in rear over hurdles on latest, 4lb out of the handicap, cheekpieces now.
12th	4 12th (4) (25/1 +0%) Whirling Dervish	25 25/1(+0%)	(4) Whirling Dervish 25/1, Sixth of 9 in handicap at Gowran (13.7f, heavy, 33/1) 28 days ago, hampered. Up in trip. A long time since he has shown his best form on the Flat or over jumps, others preferred.

LTO Selection:

BAROMETER has an each-way chance at this trip. The last time he raced over an extended 2m on the Flat, he was a comfortable winner in Tramore and that was on better ground. Rich Belief kept on well for Seamie Heffernan to score over 1m5f in Navan. The duo are reunited here and another big run looks on the cards. Grappa Nonino is up in trip in this sphere, but has performed well in recent hurdle races including when he won at Navan in March. The Jam Man has switched stables and is more than capable of showing up well. It is worth noting that he has 11 victories across all codes. Swelltime fell when disputing the lead at the penultimate obstacle in a handicap hurdle at Limerick in March. He has plenty of form on the Flat to advertise his chance, though.

It's been a while since TAKARENGO last hit the target but he resumes in this sphere on a workable mark and is clearly in good nick judged on his solid effort over fences at Clonmel last month. The 7-y-o is marginally preferred to the Dermot Weld-trained Grappa Nonino, who was successful over hurdles in March and he put in a good shift back on the Flat at Sligo recently. Rich Belief, a winner at Navan on his reappearance, also has claims, along with Barometer and Swelltime.

It may be worth taking a chance with AWAY TO SEA who finished second in this race last year on his seasonal debut

19:45 Sandown Handicap (Class 3) 10f - 3 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (1.1/1 -33%) If Not Now	1.1 1.1/1(-33%)	(1) If Not Now 1.1/1, Off the mark at the first attempt at Salisbury (8f) last autumn and ran to a similar level when third over a longer trip at Haydock (11.6f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Remains with potential on handicap debut. Clear promise at novice level; well regarded and should rate higher yet; respected.
2	3 2nd (3) (2.12/1 +29%) Blue Universe	2.12 2.12/1(+29%)	(3) Blue Universe 2.12/1, Much improved (had wind operation since last run) when narrowly taking 6-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 41 days ago. Entitled to build on that and remains fairly treated on turf debut. Had wind surgery prior to his success on AW last time; open to further improvement.
3	2 3rd (2) (2.75/1 +8%) God Of Fire	2.75 2.75/1(+8%)	(2) God Of Fire 2.75/1, Improved with each start thus far, latest when taking 12-runner maiden (5/2) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in January. Likely more to come now sent handicapping. Thrice-raced colt who has progressive form; could do well in handicaps; interesting.

LTO Selection:

This might get tactical and there is every chance that William Buick may have to make the running on Blue Universe, who has raced prominently in the past. If that does happen, GOD OF FIRE could try to sit on his shoulder throughout and, if he can then quicken up as he did to win his maiden in January, he may come out on top. If Not Now ran on late over further in a better race at Haydock but he may get tapped for pace if this turns into a sprint.

Preference is for BLUE UNIVERSE, who showed a good attitude when opening his account at Wolverhampton last month and remains low mileage. Both his rivals are open to improvement in a tight contest, with God of Fire narrowly preferred for the forecast spot.

All three colts are open to further progress. The percentage call goes to IF NOT NOW, who holds a Group 1 entry.

1	10 1st (10) (0.83/1 +40%) Marvelosa	0.83 0.83/1(+40%)	(10) Marvelosa 0.83/1, Fairly useful filly. Remains a maiden after 10 Flat runs. Good second of 7 in handicap (4/1) at this course (10.6f, soft) 16 days ago. The one to beat. Now 0-10 but she bumped into an in-form mare in a C&D handicap 16 days ago..
2	5 2nd (5) (2.75/1 +31%) Mon Coeur	2.75 2.75/1(+31%)	(5) Mon Coeur 2.75/1, Making GB/IRE Flat debut. 7/2, fifth of 15 in novice hurdle at Thurles (15.6f, good to soft) 96 days ago. Off 96 days. Bumper form very much respected and should give a good account on his Flat debut..
3	4 3rd (4) (10/1 +60%) Knight Sleeper	10 10/1(+60%)	(4) Knight Sleeper 10/1, 20,000 gns yearling, Golden Horn gelding. Half-brother to winner abroad by Dark Angel. Dam, middle-distance maiden (placed several times), half-sister to smart 7.4f winner Hamairi. Wears tongue strap. Not a bad pedigree but probably best watched on this belated debut..
4	2 4th (2) (7.5/1 -25%) Fermoyle	7.5 7.5/1(-25%)	(2) Fermoyle 7.5/1, Making GB/IRE Flat debut. Sixth of 11 in bumper at Limerick (18f, heavy, 10/1) 139 days ago. Off 139 days. Best bumper run was on good ground and could play a part on Flat debut..
5th	1 5th (1) (20/1 -25%) Expound	20 20/1(-25%)	(1) Expound 20/1, Lightly-raced gelding on Flat. 10/1, below form tenth of 16 in maiden at Limerick (8f, soft) 24 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Needs to bounce back. Not far away in a 1m AW maiden in March and soft ground was perhaps a factor at Limerick..
6th	9 6th (9) (7/1 +13%) Isotta	7 7/1(+13%)	(9) Isotta 7/1, Fair filly. Remains a maiden after 7 Flat runs. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable second of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (12f, 13/2) 88 days ago. Considered. Twice placed on the AW for this yard but may be vulnerable once more..
7th	3 7th (3) (200/1 -203%) Golden Star	200 200/1(-203%)	(3) Golden Star 200/1, Making GB/IRE Flat debut. Tongue strap on for 1st time, tenth of 11 in bumper (100/1) at Leopardstown (16f, soft) 139 days ago. Off 139 days. Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code. Others preferred. Tailed off in two soft-ground bumpers at Leopardstown; different ground here..
8th	7 8th (7) (80/1 -60%) Born Ruthless	80 80/1(-60%)	(7) Born Ruthless 80/1, Once-raced filly. Twelfth of 15 in maiden (150/1) at Gowran (9.4f, good to soft) on debut 13 days ago. Went off at 150-1 when well down the field over slightly shorter at Gowran..
9th	6 9th (6) (150/1 -50%) My Boy Teddy	150 150/1(-50%)	(6) My Boy Teddy 150/1, Twice-raced gelding. First run since leaving Andrew McNamara when twelfth of 14 in maiden at Cork (10.2f, soft, 250/1) 11 days ago. Low-level form in maidens at the Curragh (1m1f) and Cork (1m2f); no appeal for now..

LTO Selection:

MARVELOSA sets the standard here off a mark of 75 and this looks a nice opportunity to get her head in front. The Ribchester filly was runner-up in handicap company here 16 days ago and a similar run may be enough to make the breakthrough at the 11th attempt. Isotta, rated 69, has been runner-up three times from seven outings and looks an obvious danger. Cara Susanna has a few solid enough runs and has a mark of 67. She is fitted with blinkers now and Oisin Enright takes 10lb off her back to leave her on a nice weight.

MARVELOSA has had quite a few goes but this looks like a gilt-edged chance to open her account. She's the standout on form and arrives on the back of a good effort, so she's preferred to Cara Susanna, who is open to improvement. Isotta is the pick of the others.

Trappy. MON COEUR was decent in bumpers and not disgraced over hurdles this winter, so could become a rare 7yo winner of a Flat maiden.

Whether he backs it up is another matter. First success looks possible with her yard in such great form at present.
2	9 2nd (9) (28/1 +15%) Red Command	28 28/1(+15%)	(9) Red Command 28/1, Poor form on Flast in 2022. No better over hurdles since. Likely best watched. Ran well on sole handicap attempt but his overall profile is not solid.
3	2 3rd (2) (3.5/1 +59%) Cloch Nua	3.5 3.5/1(+59%)	(2) Cloch Nua 3.5/1, Won twice on AW last autumn. 14/1, respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7f) 53 days ago. Remains 5 lb above his last successful mark. Return to Class 6 looks ideal but he's 0-5 on turf and weighted to the hilt.
4	7 4th (7) (5.5/1 -144%) Iron Sheriff	5.5 5.5/1(-144%)	(7) Iron Sheriff 5.5/1, Snapped a losing run in 1¼m Newcastle handicap 11 days ago but doesn't have the profile of one likely to follow up after a 7 lb rise in the weights. Emphatic success on AW last time; hard to dismiss back on turf.
5th	5 5th (5) (4.5/1 +50%) Martin's Brig	4.5 4.5/1(+50%)	(5) Martin's Brig 4.5/1, Dual winner at Southwell (both 7f) in December. Creditable efforts in defeat since and likely to be competitive again. Two AW wins in December and has proved consistent since, including on turf.
6th	8 6th (8) (18/1 +0%) Rum Runner	18 18/1(+0%)	(8) Rum Runner 18/1, Twenty four runs since last win in 2020. 16/1, last of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (7f) 7 days ago. Others more persuasive. On a long losing spell and this year's efforts are unconvincing.
7th	3 7th (3) (3.5/1 +0%) Swinging Eddie	3.5 3.5/1(+0%)	(3) Swinging Eddie 3.5/1, Built on good reappearance third when back to winning ways at Beverley (7.5f, soft) 15 days ago. Should give another good account. Got up in the final strides at Beverley last time; still favourably treated.
8th	1 8th (1) (6/1 +8%) Drakeholes	6 6/1(+8%)	(1) Drakeholes 6/1, Winner at Newcastle in December. 17/2, creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at Southwell (7f) 8 days ago, running on. Placed on turf last year. One to consider. AW winner for current yard; placed on turf for previous stable; could go well.

LTO Selection:

IRON SHERIFF drew clear of his rivals in decisive fashion in an apprentice contest at Newcastle last time out and it would be no surprise if the five-year-old can repeat that feat in this contest, despite a 7lb hike in the ratings. 2lb of that rise is negated by Jonny Peate now being able to claim his full 5lb allowance and this drop back to a mile shouldn't pose many problems. Swinging Eddie kept on to lead in the final strides at Beverley last time out and demands respect off 4lb higher, while Drakeholes warrants consideration stepping up in trip in these calmer waters.

SWINGING EDDIE might be able to defy a 4 lb rise for Beverley. Esticky End did well at a similar time last year and could be a threat on his reappearance, particularly if the betting vibes are strong. Martin's Brig and Drakeholes are others who should be in the shake-up.

With her yard in excellent form, BAY DREAM BELIEVER could well get off the mark. Swinging Eddie is second choice.

20:10 Killarney Stakes 14f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	5 1st (5) (1.1/1 +51%) Taipan	1.1 1.1/1(+51%)	(5) Taipan 1.1/1, Useful gelding. Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. Good second of 10 in handicap (4/1) at Tipperary (12.4f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Hard to beat. Only one win from 15 starts but has solid prospects with race conditions in his favour.
2	1 2nd (1) (3.33/1 +0%) Hms Seahorse	3.33 3.33/1(+0%)	(1) Hms Seahorse 3.33/1, Useful gelding. Arrives fit from hurdling and ought to be thereabouts. Useful hurdler, shot up in Flat ratings as a result of 1m4f Curragh premier handicap win.
3	6 3rd (6) (80/1 -100%) Impero	80 80/1(-100%)	(6) Impero 80/1, Unreliable type. 16/1, respectable tenth of 20 in juvenile hurdle at Punchestown (16.4f, heavy) 136 days ago. Off 136 days. Significantly up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Thomas Cooper. Placed in four of his eight races on the Flat, not well suited by the race conditions.
4	7 4th (7) (5.5/1 +31%) Venice Biennale	5.5 5.5/1(+31%)	(7) Venice Biennale 5.5/1, Useful mare. Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Bit below form 7¼ lengths sixth of 14 to Indian Wish in listed race at Gowran (9.4f, good to soft, 22/1) 13 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Drops in class after six consecutive runs in stakes races, has a good chance at this level.
5th	4 5th (4) (14/1 +0%) Female Soldier	14 14/1(+0%)	(4) Female Soldier 14/1, Useful filly. 19½ lengths thirteenth of 16 to Duke De Sessa in listed race (33/1) at Naas (11.8f, heavy) on final start last year. Up in trip on reappearance. Highly tried last season, good handicap run on penultimate start, makes seasonal debut.
6th	2 6th (2) (5.5/1 -100%) Spasiba	5.5 5.5/1(-100%)	(2) Spasiba 5.5/1, Progressive form at 3, winning a Roscommon maiden before third in an 11f course conditions race. Up in trip. Returns as an unexposed sort for last year's winning yard. Interesting contender. Won 1m2f Roscommon maiden a year ago, beaten favourite over 1m3f here on final start.
7th	3 7th (3) (16/1 -100%) Ted Hastings	16 16/1(-100%)	(3) Ted Hastings 16/1, Useful 4-tim hurdle winner who made a successful Flat debut at Bellewstown last autumn. Bit to find on that form but he's open to improvement in this sphere. Useful novice hurdler in the first half of last season, maiden winner on only Flat outing.

LTO Selection:

Taipan is best in at the weights and this 100-rated gelding was only caught close home over an extended 1m4f at Tipperary last month. He is sure to be popular, but slight preference is for Paul Nolan's HMS SEAHORSE. He is better known for his hurdling exploits, but is more than proficient on the Flat as he showed when landing a premier handicap at the Curragh last summer. He has form on good ground. Spasiba is the dark horse. He has only had three runs and is up in trip. He won his maiden at Roscommon and wasn't beaten far in his other two races. Venice Biennale isn't out of contention.

TAIPAN has returned this spring with a pair of runner-up efforts and is taken to get his head back in front now. The unexposed Spasiba is second choice ahead of Venice Biennale.

The conditions of the race suit TAIPAN who gets a hopeful vote to improve a modest strike rate that hardly reflects his ability

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (2/1 +33%) Gert Lush	2 2/1(+33%)	(6) Gert Lush 2/1, Back to winning ways at Goodwood (9f) last autumn and just as good when runner-up final start. May have needed her Bath reappearance a fortnight ago and interesting here with William Buck doing the steering. On a competitive mark and William Buick is booked; should go well..
2	7 2nd (7) (8.5/1 -6%) Ae Fond Kiss	8.5 8.5/1(-6%)	(7) Ae Fond Kiss 8.5/1, Won a 7f Ffos Las novice last year.Showed she can be competitive from a handicap mrk in the mid-60s on her final 2 outings and probably needed the run when fading into a below-par sixth on her reappearance. Has performed okay in handicaps without genuinely threatening..
3	3 3rd (3) (2.5/1 +9%) Mountain Queen	2.5 2.5/1(+9%)	(3) Mountain Queen 2.5/1, AW maiden winner in November. Two creditable efforts in AW handicaps this spring and player if as effective back on the turf. Beaten in two AW handicaps, albeit after running well; in better form than most in here..
4	1 4th (1) (6/1 -33%) New Heights	6 6/1(-33%)	(1) New Heights 6/1, Dual C&D winner last year, including this race. Performed no more than respectably in 2 comeback runs on AW last month but no surprise were she to revive at a venue which clearly suits. Won three handicaps on turf last season, the latest over C&D; back on a good mark..
5th	2 5th (2) (3.5/1 +22%) Arenas Del Tiempo	3.5 3.5/1(+22%)	(2) Arenas Del Tiempo 3.5/1, Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Started 2023 with 2 respectable runs on Lingfield's AW but below par back on turf at Brighton a couple of weeks ago. Took a significant backward step when returned to turf at Brighton..
6th	8 6th (8) (25/1 -39%) Silence Is Golden	25 25/1(-39%)	(8) Silence Is Golden 25/1, Modest form. fading to finish well held on her 1½m Wolverhampton handicap debut a fortnight ago. Down 3f in trip now. Poor so far, including a handicap, and best trip remains questionable for now..
7th	5 7th (5) (150/1 -500%) Stepmother	150 150/1(-500%)	(5) Stepmother 150/1, Fair third on the second of 2 outings for the Gosden stable at the start of last summer but has something to prove for now having finished a distant last of 4 on her recent comeback run for new connections. Drops in trip for handicap debut. One good run last year for the Gosdens; tailed off on the AW when making stable debut..

LTO Selection:

New Heights won this last year and has to be considered again, though she races off 8lb higher and hasn't been at her best in two starts this season on the all-weather. She can still go close as can Arenas Del Tiempo, who is finally back down to the same mark as her last success at Epsom in August 2021. That said, MOUNTAIN QUEEN is the one in good form after running on over a mile when second two starts ago and she wasn't disgraced over 1m2f last time

GERT LUSH should be all the sharper for her recent Bath reappearance and the booking of William Buick catches the eye so she's the suggestion. Last year's winner New Heights hasn't fired in 2 AW outings this spring but it could be a different story back here and she's feared most ahead of Tom Dascombe's Mountain Queen.

While Mountain Queen is the only runner arriving here on the back of a competitive performance, a chance is taken on GERT LUSH.

Info	Form	Odds
1	10 1st (10) (2/1 -14%) Rattle And Hum	2 2/1(-14%)	(10) Rattle And Hum 2/1, Lightly-raced gelding. 9/1, very good second of 13 in handicap at Cork (10.1f, good to soft) 25 days ago, running on. Up in trip. Stable having good spell. Another bold show likely. Touched off in a Cork handicap last month; up in trip here but is the highest rated.
2	11 2nd (11) (10/1 +29%) Votre Homme	10 10/1(+29%)	(11) Votre Homme 10/1, Once-raced colt. Seventh of 12 in maiden (20/1) at Dundalk (10.7f) on debut 74 days ago. Up in trip. Needs to do better. Didn't do badly on debut in a 1m2f Dundalk maiden in March; plenty more needed here though.
3	9 3rd (9) (3.5/1 +53%) Rapparee Champ	3.5 3.5/1(+53%)	(9) Rapparee Champ 3.5/1, €58,000 yearling, Churchill colt. Closely related to useful winner up to 1½m Fernando Vichi and half-brother to 6f winner Dane Bell. Interesting newcomer. By Churchill with a middle distance pedigree; would not have to be a star to be involved.
4	7 4th (7) (1.1/1 +37%) Nikini	1.1 1.1/1(+37%)	(7) Nikini 1.1/1, Useful jumps winner, making GB/IRE Flat debut. 4/1, 9 lengths seventh of 14 to Shecouldbeanything in listed hurdle at Punchestown (16.4f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Should take all the beating. Lost her way a little over jumps but probably capable of going close in a Flat maiden.
5th	1 5th (1) (18/1 -300%) Chicago Storm	18 18/1(-300%)	(1) Chicago Storm 18/1, Lightly-raced gelding. First run since leaving John Patrick Murtagh when creditable fifth of 17 in maiden (25/1) at Gowran (9.6f, heavy) 28 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Good Gowran run; step up in trip could well suit and he might not be far away here.
6th	3 6th (3) (40/1 -21%) Evans Secret	40 40/1(-21%)	(3) Evans Secret 40/1, Twice-raced gelding. Fourth of 9 in maiden (28/1) at Ballinrobe (9.6f, good to soft), not knocked about. Off 11 months. Significantly up in trip. Should progress. Off for 11 months and upped in trip; needs this for a mark and worth watching.
7th	2 7th (2) (100/1 -100%) Daghdha	100 100/1(-100%)	(2) Daghdha 100/1, Making GB/IRE Flat debut. Eighth of 11 in novice hurdle (10/1) at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft) on hurdles bow. Off 12 months. Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code. Returning from a year off; modest bumper and maiden hurdle form and best watched here.
8th	6 8th (6) (66/1 -65%) Vincenzo Gamba	66 66/1(-65%)	(6) Vincenzo Gamba 66/1, Lightly-raced gelding. 50/1 and blinkered for 1st time, last of 12 in handicap at Tipperary (9f, good to firm). Off 9 months. Significantly up in trip. Some promise over 7f at the Curragh on final start at two; first time beyond 1m1f..
9th	5 9th (5) (150/1 -200%) Natural Ability	150 150/1(-200%)	(5) Natural Ability 150/1, Making GB/IRE Flat debut. Unseated rider in novice chase (150/1) at Ballinrobe (17f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code. Up against it. Has shown very little ability over jumps and makes no appeal on his Flat debut.
10th	8 10th (8) (150/1 -50%) Way Forward	150 150/1(-50%)	(8) Way Forward 150/1, Thrice-raced filly. 150/1, eighth of 12 in maiden at Bellewstown (12f, heavy) 40 days ago, slowly away. Hard to fancy. Soundly beaten in a trio of Flat maidens; hard to fancy here.
11th	4 11th (4) (150/1 -127%) Karayaz	150 150/1(-127%)	(4) Karayaz 150/1, Lightly-raced gelding on Flat. 50/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable fifth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (24f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code. Ran okay in a 3m handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan last month' hard to fancy here though.

LTO Selection:

RATTLE AND HUM ran well on his return to action at Cork last month and should be able to open his account in a moderate enough looking maiden. The New Bay gelding stayed on well to press Matt Connor close home and get within a neck. Stepping up in trip now looks like it should suit. His trainer Joseph O'Brien also saddles Rapparee Champ and money for him would be noteworthy. The Churchill colt is a half-brother to listed winner Fernando Vichi. Chicago Storm ran well on his first start for Peter Fahey when fifth to Party Central at Gowran Park last month. He looks capable of getting involved for the minor money now.

NIKINI has shown more than enough over jumps to think she can make a winning Flat debut and is comfortably preferred to Rattle And Hum, who has achieved most in this discipline. Newcomer Rapparee Champ is one to note if the market speaks in his favour.

Joseph O'Brien's RATTLE AND HUM (nap) does set a good standard on his maiden form and his close second in a Cork handicap last time

1	7 1st (7) (1.5/1 +33%) Premiership	1.5 1.5/1(+33%)	(7) Premiership 1.5/1, Much improved to win 12-runner handicap at Pontefract (1m, good to soft, 20/1) on reappearance 13 days ago, powering clear in the closing stages. A 5 lb rise may not stop him if showing up in similar form. Won convincingly on his return from a break at Pontefract; can be inconsistent..
2	5 2nd (5) (10/1 -100%) Kodebreaker	10 10/1(-100%)	(5) Kodebreaker 10/1, Latest win at Southwell in March. Creditable third of 17 in handicap (25/1) at Doncaster (7f, heavy) 18 days ago. Likely to be in the shake-up again. Ran well to be third in a big field over 7f at Doncaster behind a filly in form..
3	8 3rd (8) (11/1 +56%) Mr Heinz	11 11/1(+56%)	(8) Mr Heinz 11/1, Modest maiden. Cheekpieces on first time, sixth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (1¼m) on reappearance 11 days ago. Back down in trip. Eight-race maiden who ran moderately on his return from a lengthy break only 11 days ago..
4	6 4th (6) (5/1 +0%) Makalu	5 5/1(+0%)	(6) Makalu 5/1, Creditable placed efforts both starts this term and each-way claims again. Placed on soft this season and perhaps better on this ground; turn looks near..
5th	4 5th (4) (25/1 -213%) Dandys Derriere	25 25/1(-213%)	(4) Dandys Derriere 25/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. 9/2 and tongue strap on first time, first run since leaving Brian Meehan when last of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) 36 days ago. Can only be watched on the back of that. Joined this yard for 7,000gns and he didn't run much of a race at Wolverhampton..
6th	1 6th (1) (3.33/1 +39%) Fiftyshadesofred	3.33 3.33/1(+39%)	(1) Fiftyshadesofred 3.33/1, Showed benefit of reappearance run when creditable third of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford (7f, 13/2) 33 days ago, running on. Has a lower mark to work with on turf. It was a belated return to form when a closing third over 7f at Chelmsford..
7th	3 7th (3) (12/1 +14%) Temper Trap	12 12/1(+14%)	(3) Temper Trap 12/1, 33/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Thirsk (1m, heavy) 10 days ago. Need to see more. Getting back on a drier surface will help and there's nothing wrong with his current mark..
8th	9 8th (9) (50/1 +0%) Nooo More	50 50/1(+0%)	(9) Nooo More 50/1, Remains a maiden after 16 starts. Last of 11 in novice at Doncaster (6f, heavy) 18 days ago. More realistic chance back in a handicap but still hard to make a case for. Outclassed in a novice last time but he's now 0-16 and has had his chances in handicaps..
9th	2 9th (2) (14/1 -75%) Kenilworth King	14 14/1(-75%)	(2) Kenilworth King 14/1, Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford (1¼m) 26 days ago. Well held only start on turf but it's too soon to suggest he won't prove effective on the grass. Just missed out on the places at Chelmsford (1m2f) after yet again racing freely..

LTO Selection:

KODEBREAKER has been knocking on the door of late and gets the nod to record a fourth career victory. The son of Kodi Bear hit the line with plenty of conviction when third of 17 over 7f last time out at Doncaster and rates a big player off just 1lb higher, with the step up in a trip to suit. Premiership kicked clear of his rivals at Pontefract on his latest outing and rates the most immediate danger off 5lb higher. Fiftyshadesofred also warrants respect now eased in grade.

PREMIERSHIP was well on top at Pontefract so a 5 lb rise looks more than fair. Fiftyshadesofred could be a dangerous opponent off his lower turf mark. Kodebreaker and Makalu are also likely to be on the premises.

So long as his good run at Chelmsford proves no false dawn then FIFTYSHADESOFRED should go well off a handy mark.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
