Class & Speed Card

Stable debutant Prince Imperial is on a recovery mission having finished in last at Ascot in November, but he's likely to prove far more competitive in these calmer waters. Although Harriet Dickin's inmate must enter calculations, BOOMSLANG rates a much more solid proposition. The seven-year-old arrives on the back of a close-up second in handicap company over C&D and a reproduction of that performance may suffice. Point winner Sky Luna is also noted.

BOOMSLANG has gone close in 2 runs over C&D and can get the job done this time. Prince Imperial has races in him in this sphere, while Chief O'Hara is worth a look on his hurdles debut.

Back in novice company after finishing second in a C&D handicap last month, BOOMSLANG looks the one to beat.
Class & Speed Card

With Alex Jary taking 5lb off his back, GOLDEN DUKE effectively runs off 2lb lower than when he won this corresponding race last year and is an attractive option with ground conditions likely to suit. Fellow course winner J R Cavagin also has a lot going for him and rates a player based on previous form, while Showtime Mahomes and Crypto Quest also enter calculations off competitive marks.

A competitive opener in which the suggestion is CRYPTO QUEST, who has hit the crossbar a couple of times already this year and the booking of Rossa Ryan catches the eye. Minnesota Lad looked unlucky not to finish a little closer at Haydock earlier this month, so he heads up the opposition, with last year's surprise winner Golden Duke and J R Cavagin rounding off the shortlist.

C&D winner CRYPTO QUEST went close at Catterick two starts ago and can bounce back from a lesser run at Carlisle.
Class & Speed Card

Quicker ground conditions are unlikely to pose an issue for ANIF, and Michael Herrington's in-form veteran is taken to defy a 6lb hike in the ratings en route to completing a hat-trick of course victories. Al Baahy has been edging down the weights and he could be involved in what looks a moderate contest, while Maruna is worth a second look ahead of her stable debut.

This looks a good chance for resurgent 10-y-o ANIF to complete a course hat-trick. United Force was in reasonable form on AW earlier in the year and could go well if fully primed after a break. Love Your Work would also enter the reckoning if showing up here after/rather than Leicester on Thursday.

Veteran ANIF is on a roll and can make light of a 6lb rise in the weights for his latest success to bag a course hat-trick.
Class & Speed Card

ASA lost little in defeat when staying on to finish third behind a subsequent winner over 2m4f at Worcester earlier this month and these extra two furlongs should suit. Philip Kirby's mare makes plenty of appeal racing off an unchanged mark and a breakthrough victory could be imminent. The biggest threat may be posed by recent Hexham third Lady Hamilton, while Starlyte could also threaten if building on her recent placed effort at Southwell.

The combinations of first-time cheekpieces and a step back up in trip may help ASA travel with a bit more purpose, and if that is the case, she's capable of winning from her basement mark. Ragosina is fit from the Flat and receives a handy age allowance, so she's in the mix, along with Lady Hamilton.

Chris Grant's mare FIADH turned things around with a good second at Southwell last month and will be suited by the longer trip here.
Class & Speed Card

Not much went right for CONSOLIDATION on his racecourse debut at Sandown a fortnight ago but the son of Too Darn Hot, who cost 300,000gns as a yearling, finished the race strongly once he saw daylight and could be hard to beat given he should be a good deal wiser this time. New Century also performed promisingly on his introduction in a similar race at Lingfield and also commands respect. Field Of Gold, a 530,000-euros son of Kingman, appeals most of the newcomers.

Some powerful connections represented in this strong-looking novice and it's CONSOLIDATION who gets the nod to build on his debut effort having finished with running left at Sandown earlier this month. New Century shaped with plenty of encouragement over an inadequate trip at Lingfield recently, so he can provide most resistance switched to turf, with Field of Gold making most appeal of the newcomers.

300,000gns breeze-up buy CONSOLIDATION displayed considerable promise on his recent debut at Sandown and earns the vote.
Class & Speed Card

Naina left the form of her Newmarket debut behind when finishing a creditable third at Brighton recently. She's a likely candidate on that evidence, but a chance can be taken on 30,000gns purchase DESERT EYE. The Expert Eye filly is a half-sister to five winners and, for a yard that are no strangers to success in these types of races, she might not have to be anything out of the ordinary to score. Others to note include Could She Be Magic and Ellaria Sand.

A chance is taken on Archie Watson newcomer ELLARIA SAND, whose first-season sire Sands of Mali had the 1-3 in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot last week. Queen of Good News should build on quite a promising debut effort at Salisbury, while Blue Zodiac, Desert Eye and Heaven Knows are other debutantes who have something to recommend them on paper.

Those with experience don't set the greatest standard, Naina looking the pick, and ELLARIA SAND may be up to going in on debut.
Class & Speed Card

The addition of a first-time tongue-tie appeared to unlock a improvement from EMILY WADE, who scored with something in hand at Southwell earlier in June. A 6lb rise in the ratings looks on the lenient side for the daughter of Lucky Speed and she's taken to strike once more. Placed efforts at Ludlow and Ffos Las in recent months brings Faerie Cutlass into the reckoning, with looking Little Talks next best.

EMILY WADE capitalised on a falling mark with a tongue strap added in good style at Southwell 17 days ago and, remaining well treated on old form, she looks a sound player in her follow-up bid. Faerie Cutlass is proving consistent and feared along with Of Course You Can.

Still well handicapped after her recent Southwell win, EMILY WADE (nap) is proven on this track and makes strong appeal.
Class & Speed Card

The consistent WICHAHPI has made good progress in three starts this season and, after successfully stepping back up to this trip at Catterick most recently, the Bryan Smart-trained filly has a major chance of following up off just 4lb higher. High Violet dropped a hint that her turn could be near when a close second at Salisbury 17 days ago and rates a key player off the same mark. Novello Lad and Royal Justice are a couple of others to consider.

Preference is for NOVELLO LAD, who hails from a yard in good form and ran well when third at Thirsk 3 weeks ago (pair that beat him drawn much higher). High Violet took her form up a notch when finishing runner-up at Salisbury earlier in the month, so Dave Loughnane's filly can give the selection most to think about, with recent winner Wichahpi and handicap-debutante Royal Justice another couple of interesting runners, too.

Preference is for HIGH VIOLET, who holds appealing claims having finished second at Salisbury last time.
Class & Speed Card

Marmalade Lady tasted success for the first time when on target over 1m4f at Chepstow earlier this month and, though respected, preference is for WARMONGER. Soft ground didn't appear to suit at Salisbury in May but there were signs of improvement last time at Carlisle, where he filled the runner-up spot. The Camelot gelding didn't have to pace to challenge over 1m3f and this greater test of stamina can play to his strengths. The Crafty Mole is another to consider.

The step up to 1¾m seems likely to play to the strengths of WARMONGER who can make it third time lucky in handicaps, but there are plenty of possible dangers in what looks a strong 0-60. Wannabeawallaby is another who could benefit from the extra yardage this afternoon and is second choice ahead of The Crafty Mole and recent Chepstow scorer Marmalade Lady.

The return to further is ideal for THE CRAFTY MOLE (nap), whose mark looks within range. Warmonger rates the main danger.
Class & Speed Card

ILIKEDWAYURTHINKIN took a step in the right direction with cheekpieces reapplied when third here over hurdles at the end of last month. The 10-year-old last ran over fences in Ireland off a 23lb higher mark and this may be a good opportunity for him to bounce back to winning ways. Do No Wrong continues to progress over the larger obstacles and may have more to offer back up in distance, while Jelski's third to the admirable Mill Green here last time gives him viable credentials.

ELLEON found his clumsiness costing him the hat-trick at Hexham last time but Cartmel poses an easier jumping test and he's fancied to resume winning ways at the chief expense of the similarly in-form Do No Wrong. Ilikedwayurthinkin has slipped a long way in the weights and caught the eye to a degree over hurdles last time, so is just preferred to Leading Force to complete the placings.

Still well handicapped on older form, EMPIRE DE MAULDE returned from a layoff with a pleasing run last month and might be the answer.
Class & Speed Card

Cases can be made for many of these including the lightly-raced Golden Myrrh, who appeared to win with a bit in hand at Wolverhampton earlier this month. She's 4lb higher back on turf but should continue to progress, while Hostelry might not have been seen to best effect over a stiff 1m1f at Carlisle and should appreciate dropping back. A chance, however, is taken on OSCAR'S SISTER. There were positives to take from her reappearance over seven furlongs at Wetherby and the daughter of Dandy Man, who is now 10lb lower than when winning at Haydock in September 2022, could step forward.

There should be more to come from GOLDEN MYRRH, who upped her game significantly when scoring at Wolverhampton earlier this month and remains fairly treated. Notre Dame is feared most.

This could go to the 3yo PRINCESS JASTAR, who has shaped as though she will be suited by the step up in trip on this handicap debut.
Class & Speed Card

Not beaten far off this mark at Thirsk recently, returning to quick ground should suit the consistent IT'S SHOWTIME and she may be able to make it two wins in her last four starts. Raffles Angel wasn't far away from landing the double at Windsor last time out and it is interesting to see her go back to 5f, while Four Adaay aims to build on a strong runner-up effort at Nottingham.

FOUR ADAAY has slipped to a good mark and looked right back in form at Nottingham last time, so he gets the nod ahead of Raffles Angel, who also found only one too good last time. It's Showtime can also feature in a competitive race for the grade.

The vote goes to IT'S SHOWTIME, who's twice shown this mark is within range since her win. Raffles Angel is second choice.
Class & Speed Card

ISHOLO DU VIVIEN may have been feeling the exertions of his Stratford victory when turned out quickly to finish an underwhelming third just six days later under a 7lb penalty at Market Rasen. A longer break between his races might be the key for Donald McCain's gelding to bounce back on this occasion. Dr Sanderson's recent third here earns him a place on the shortlist, with Kicksaftersix and Follow Your Arrow others worth considering.

EDGEWELL hinted at better to come on just his second start over fences at Hexham last week and can open his account. Dr Sanderson and Kicksaftersix head the list of dangers.

The refitted cheekpieces can give a boost to GOODTIMES BADTIMES, who made a very encouraging chasing debut at Kelso last month.
Class & Speed Card

SOAMES FORSYTE broke his duck on the grass when winning at Nottingham last time out and a subsequent 2lb rise in the handicap looks more than fair. Ian Williams enlists the services of the in-form Oisin Murphy aboard Beylerbeyi and the Wolverhampton scorer must feature prominently in calculations, while Khathak, who finished a narrow second at Chester a fortnight ago, could prove strongest of the remainder.

BEYLERBEYI was well on top at the finish when successful at Wolverhampton earlier this month and is fancied to follow up. Soames Forsyte and Bay of Australia should also go well.

The mare ARDBRACCAN is enjoying a consistent campaign and can add to her win at Nottingham in April. Beylerbeyi is a danger.
Class & Speed Card

GREAT ACCLAIM is in the form of his life at present and a 5lb rise for his most recent comfortable success at Newbury may not be enough to prevent the son of Aclaim landing the hat-trick. Placed on each of his three starts this season and not beaten far at Newmarket last week, Berkshire Nugget is entitled to be thereabouts, along with Magsood, who was denied a clear run when fifth at Sandown on his latest start.

BERKSHIRE NUGGET pulled clear with the winner on handicap debut at Newmarket and, if the quick turnaround doesn't scupper him, he should be able to open his account. Charming Whisper is an obvious danger and Cerulean Bay can make his presence felt if the race is run to suit.

A competitive handicap in which BERKSHIRE NUGGET can take advantage of being 4lb well-in. Cerulean Bay is next best.
Class & Speed Card

Sleeping Satellite should go well after a half-length second at Market Rasen on his chasing debut and he could be capable of mounting a challenge off a 3lb higher mark. Ingennio has winning form over fences, having scored twice at Fakenham in April, and is not one to underestimate, but OLIVERS TRAVELS is preferred. He ran well on his debut over fences when third at Uttoxeter, has winning form over hurdles on the expected going, and represents a stable with recent winners.

OLIVERS TRAVELS shaped well on chasing debut and his stable has a good record here, so he's worth a chance to open his account in this sphere at the possible expense of Sleeping Satellite, who also has the potential for better. Last-time-out winner Unwanted Attention is another player.

Donald McCain's SLEEPING SATELLITE bumped into a progressive rival when second on his chasing debut and can go one better here.
Class & Speed Card

Trainer Tim Easterby and jockey Thomas Easterby have won both runnings of this race and have a chance with Jewel Maker although, as a nine-year-old, there is unlikely to be much improvement to come. Wheres The Crumpet could go well for her in-form jockey, but HUMBLE SPARK is due to go up to a 2lb higher figure for future races and, with a C&D win in April, he may be able to double his career tally.

HUMBLE SPARK ticks plenty of boxes as he returns to the scene of his breakthrough win, with the form of his subsequent Hamilton second over further working out really well (3 of the first 5 home won next time). Breguet Boy and Isle of Wolves are high on the shortlist.

Jim Goldie's HUMBLE SPARK is coming along nicely and on another day could easily have followed up his course win at Hamilton.
Class & Speed Card

The Queen's Vase was far too hot for SEE THE GREEN to handle but the Owen Burrows-trained son of Postponed made good strides prior to that trip to the Royal meeting, making it third-time lucky at Catterick, and can resume that progression. He has yet to encounter ground this quick and if it is a problem, Miss Gitana may be the one to take advantage after hitting the crossbar twice at Beverley. Night Horn and course winner Monsieur Melee command obvious attention, but none of these can be ruled out with any sort of confidence.

MONSIEUR MELEE overcame a pace bias when scoring here last month and looks worth a crack at this longer trip. He gets the nod. Night Horn rates the principal danger.

Having stayed on well to win over 1m4f here last month, MONSIEUR MELEE is open to further improvement now upped in trip once more.
Class & Speed Card

HOVER ON THE WIND may have been inconvenienced by softer ground when third here at the end of May and the four-year-old, whose course form this year has been very consistent, is taken to get his head back in front on a sounder surface. Tremblant sports blinkers for the first time after finishing second at Haydock last time and has the aid of Sean D Bowen's 5lb claim, while The Waiting Game is respected following his third at the same track the day before.

TENNESSEE GOLD scored at Kempton in May, then wasn't seen to best effect at Haydock last time, so he can resume progress to get the better of the in-form Hover On The Wind, who goes well at this track. The Waiting Game is also considered.

Soft ground probably wasn't optimal for HOVER ON THE WIND last time and he's preferred to the lightly raced Tennessee Gold.
Class & Speed Card

Last year's winner CALEVADE is back to defend his crown and should be spot-on after a run on the Flat at Catterick recently. He races off 5lb higher this year but loves the track and gets his ground, making him one to take seriously. Brian Ellison's horses are running well and a bold effort from Langton Wold on his return to hurdles could be on the cards, while Mermaids Cave can hit a place if she races nearer to the early pace.

MERMAIDS CAVE wasn't seen to best effect at Newton Abbot last time and might be worth another chance back at the scene of her win at the end of last month. Last year's winner Calevade arrives on the back of a respectable effort on the Flat 3 weeks ago and could make a bold bid to defend his crown under John Dawson. Phil Kirby handicap newcomer Bathgate and recent Hexham scorer Allbetsoff complete the shortlist.

James Owen's thriving MERMAIDS CAVE didn't enjoy the rub of the green when fifth at Newton Abbot last time and can bag another C&D win
Class & Speed Card

Phoenix Star has won five times over C&D now and deserves plenty of respect, but four were off lower marks and he may have to settle for a place in this field. ELEGANT ERIN drops a grade after her second at Carlisle on the turf and if she improves for recent wind surgery, she might be able to make the most of her high draw to come home in front. Thornaby Pearl and recent Hamilton winner Newyorkstateofmind are others to consider in a competitive contest.

NELSON GAY looks to be peaking and could follow up his victory on this card last year with Connor Beasley back up for the first time. Elegant Erin and Rory are a couple of the other likely contenders.

It may be worth taking a chance with dual C&D winner CASTAN who is back off the same mark as when successful here in March.
Class & Speed Card

SNAPDRAGON gets blinkers and is expected to improve on an opening fourth place over an extended 5f at Naas. This No Nay Never colt holds a Group 1 Keeneland Phoenix Stakes entry. His stablemate, newcomer Ides Of March, has the same engagement and is highly likely to be involved, while Jessica Harrington takes the wraps off another Group 1 entrant in Iron Fist, who could show up well. Mount Parnassus, with three runs under his belt, and debutants Admiral Churchill, Viking Invasion and Beckman are other players. East Hampton suffered a nightmare route when fourth on debut over C&D in May and could outrun his odds in a deep race.

EAST HAMPTON was a big eye-catcher over C&D on debut last month and could be the way to go over the Ballydoyle pair Snapdragon and Mount Parnassus.

One of the most eye-catching runs this season was that of EAST HAMPTON in a C&D maiden last month and he might prove good enough
Class & Speed Card

Although a model of consistency anyway, SISTERANDBROTHER's form has gone to a new level since joining Kevin Frost, with a Haydock victory supplemented by a hard-fought Nottingham triumph. His 5lb penalty means he is 1lb higher than his revised rating, but the Nottingham runner-up came out and went close off a 3lb higher mark so the hat-trick beckons. Glistening Nights landed the odds to break his duck at Wetherby and heads a list of dangers that also includes Prince Achille and Bearwith.

GLISTENING NIGHTS was notably strong in the market when getting off the mark at Wetherby recently and might be able to cope with a 3 lb rise. The hat-trick seeking Sisterandbrother is second choice ahead of the Oisin Murphy-ridden Star Start.

The bang-in-form SISTERANDBROTHER (nap) made it 2-2 for Kevin Frost when winning at Nottingham last week and can defy a 5lb penalty.
Class & Speed Card

BLUEBELLS BOY has gone close on his most recent outings when twice beaten a neck in similar contests at Brighton and Bath. The five-year-old should benefit from the extra yardage here and gets the vote to finally gain a second career victory. Mehigburn (second) and Bernard Spierpoint (third) are likely to be in the mix following their meeting over C&D earlier in the month.

BLUEBELLS BOY is in better form than his rivals and is worth a chance to gain reward for some consistent efforts at the possible expense of Sir Rodneyredblood, who is likely to bounce back after a break. Admirable Lad can't be ruled out, either.

Sir Rodneyredblood won this in 2022 and should go well but BERNARD SPIERPOINT did better for his old yard latest and is preferred.
Class & Speed Card

After making the frame at Ripon and Thirsk, Beronia sets the standard, but it isn't insurmountable and Nad Alshiba Rain might be best of those with previous experience after meeting with trouble at Nottingham. There are some interesting newcomers, though, not least the Godolphin pair of SCATTERING LIGHT and Valentia Island, with William Buick's presence on the former suggesting she is the stable number one. Kingman filly Mandurah is from a fine French family, with Miss Fascinator and Beautiful Things a couple more to consider.

The betting will be revealing but there is a good chance this will go to a newcomer, SCATTERING LIGHT, the choice of Buick over stablemate Valentia Island for Godolphin, getting the vote. Miss Fascinator and Mandurah also make plenty of appeal on paper.

Godolphin newcomers SCATTERING LIGHT and Valentia Island are particularly interesting. The betting should offer further guidance.
Class & Speed Card

Vintage Clarets won this last year but hasn't been at his best recently and races off a lower mark for future contests. He may still get involved but if Grace McEntee can get a tune out of NAVELLO again, he could go close after winning two races already this year. All out to prevail at Windsor under William Buick, he has been put up 2lb but his jockey claims 3lb back. Brazen Bolt has won here four times, but might have to settle for a place off his current mark.

Always a good sprint handicap and last year's winner VINTAGE CLARETS (1-1 on AW) could go in again. Prince of Zenda and the admirable Copper Knight, who won this in 2018 and was second in 2019, are a couple of the obvious dangers.

Although 7lb higher than when winning this race last year, the vote goes to VINTAGE CLARETS as that was his only previous AW start.
Class & Speed Card

A race where the market will be very informative. Aidan O'Brien unleashes a pair of Frankel fillies in LAKE VICTORIA and Exactly with preference for the former. Lake Victoria's dam won the Commonwealth Cup, so she should have plenty of dash for this assignment, while Exactly is a half-sister to a Listed winner and will certainly know her job. Dahlia Noir can trouble the aforementioned pair as she finished well for second after a slow start over an extended 7f in Leopardstown. Joseph O'Brien's And So To Bed showed promise in fourth in a hot maiden over 6f at this track while her stablemate, Valencia, wasn't cheap at Goffs Ireland Sales.

Plenty of depth to this maiden. DAHLIA NOIR and And So To Bed both showed plenty of promise amidst obvious signs of inexperience on debut and seem sure to know more this time. Marginal preference is for the former. There's a good-looking bunch of debutantes to consider, too, notably the Aidan O'Brien-trained pair Lake Victoria and Exactly.

AND SO TO BED was green on debut but shaped like she would relish a step up to this trip and should improve for that outing
Class & Speed Card

DOCTOR FOLEY had to work hard to justify favouritism at Fontwell, but the runner-up has gone one better since so the form is solid and Anthony Honeyball's seven-year-old can defy a 5lb rise. Happy Du Mesnil came within a whisker of completing a Southwell brace and should be thereabouts again. Crystal Moon, Walking The Walk and Exmoor Forest are a few more to consider in an open affair.

FAVORI DE SIVOLA hinted at a revival back with Jane Williams at Newton Abbot 3 weeks ago and, now 13 lb below his last winning mark, looks worth chancing in the hope he builds on that. Justshortofabubble looks primed for a big run back over fences, while Happy du Mesnil can go well again.

An open race in which the vote goes to DOCTOR FOLEY, who made it 3-7 over fences when beating a clear second at Fontwell last month.
Class & Speed Card

Alec Voikhansky knows Pink Lily so well and they arrive after victories at Bath and Goodwood, but their hat-trick plans could be scuppered by ORCHARD KEEPER. Roger Varian's filly has found only one too strong on each of her last two appearances and now goes handicapping after a break and over a trip that should suit. Post Rider, another on a three-timer, has more to offer, but the assessor appears to have caught up with Aim For The Moon.

POST RIDER has left her AW form well behind on turf of late, showing the right attitude when making a winning handicap debut at Nottingham a fortnight ago. She can only improve for this trip so the hat-trick looks on the cards, for all Pink Lily is also competing for the match ball. Orchard Keeper is also of some interest.

There should be further progress to come from POST RIDER (nap). Her main threats are probably Pink Lily and Orchard Keeper.
Class & Speed Card

After a very unlucky second in the Princess Elizabeth Stakes at Epsom, a chance is taken on CHIC COLOMBINE to go one better. George Boughey's filly was beaten just a neck after being denied a clear run at a key stage of that Group 3 and she was successful on her only other start at this venue last year. Tiffany won in easy fashion in Listed company over 1m3f at Baden-Baden on her return and she is likely to be running on powerfully at the line. German 1000 Guineas heroine Darnation also commands respect.

TIFFANY can boast a superb strike rate and looks more than ready for this higher grade following her commanding reappearance in listed company in Germany a month ago. Chic Colombine was probably an unlucky loser at Epsom and is a huge threat if lasting out over this trip, with Darnation already proved at this level.

This looks to be between Darnation and TIFFANY (nap). The former has the class, but the latter already has winning form over C&D.
Class & Speed Card

TRANSCENDING GLORY finished runner-up behind a very in-form rival in a slightly higher grade over C&D last month and could go one better. Fast ground clearly holds no fears for him. Current Option bounced back to form with a vengeance in a quality handicap at Fairyhouse and has to be respected. Port Louis was nearest at the finish in third in his last race at Fairyhouse and didn't have the clearest route. He ought to get plenty of pace to aim at in this contest. Serialise is a lightly-raced sort who was highly tried in Listed company at Navan, while the veteran Ice Cold In Alex should be coming home stronger than most.

PORT LOUIS finished an excellent third despite a troubled passage at Fairyhouse a month ago and on that evidence, he can win from his current mark. Fellow 3-y-o Transcending Glory is feared, along with Current Option who ended a lengthy winless sequence at Fairyhouse last time.

After he was a bit of an eyecatcher last time, PORT LOUIS ought to run well with conditions in his favour and a handy draw to work with
Class & Speed Card

STEPPENWOLF made the best possible start to life with David Pipe when breaking his chasing duck at Ffos Las. An 8lb rise complicates matters but he appears rejuvenated by the switch from Ireland and is preferred to Clondaw Royale, who could start to deliver on his early promise now he tackles fences. Deerstalker is fancied to do better than he did when sent off favourite at Stratford. Grey Skies is also worth a look.

STEPPENWOLF produced a career-best effort starting out for David Pipe when a ready winner at Ffos Las a month ago, and on that evidence, his revised mark looks within range. Grey Skies is a solid operator at this level so commands respect, while Deerstalker might show more on this second chase start.

David Pipe's ex-Irish recruit STEPPENWOLF (nap) can make light of an 8lb rise for his impressive Ffos Las success last time out
Class & Speed Card

RAINBOWS EDGE is related to several Group/Graded winners and could be up to that class herself, judging by her impressive defeat of an 82-rated filly on her Newcastle introduction. She has been given time to strengthen further and can successfully take the next step up the ladder, although Inherit won't make it easy for her after her close-up Yarmouth third. Inversion is bred to be better than she showed at Salisbury, while Beverley third Supreme Beauty changed hands for 130,000gns recently. Prevail and Morrophore, although apparent stable second strings, warrant attention on debut.

RAINBOWS EDGE looked a very smart prospect when scoring under a hands-and-heels ride at Newcastle in March and the King's filly can defy a penalty against some similarly exciting rivals. Inherit showed plenty to like in a hot race at Yarmouth, whilst newcomers Prevail and Morrophore also merit plenty of respect on paper.

An interesting novice event that features several well-bred fillies. INHERIT gets the narrow vote ahead of Rainbows Edge.
Class & Speed Card

Distinction defied a 6lb rise in the ratings to complete a double over the extended 1m at Beverley, but a further 5lb penalty may halt his progression. Therefore, a chance is taken on ARCHDUKE FERDINAND, who was beaten just a short head over 7f at this venue three starts ago and the return to Tapeta could help get him back on track. Handicap debutant Perfectly Timed is also worthy of consideration.

A winner on the AW on second start, PERFECTLY TIMED upped his game again when second in a Brighton novice that worked out well a month ago. With that in mind, his mark looks lenient fitted with cheekpieces for the first time. Distinction is more exposed but is thriving at present, with Utlis also considered.

In an open handicap a chance is taken on ALETHIOMETER who has the form to be a major player and her record fresh is encouraging.
Class & Speed Card

HAMPSHIRE makes a belated debut but does so on a prestigious weekend and it is positive that Ryan Moore rides. By Galileo, his dam won five American Grade 1 races on firm ground so is sure to be well suited by a fast surface and while he has no big-race entries, he is very likely to have plenty of ability. Il Sovrano's unraced dam is a sibling to a Group 1 winner so he could be capable, while fellow newcomer Scared Oath is out of a Listed-winning dam and warrants respect. Rock Of Ireland has form but disappointed on his latest run.

SEIGE OF TROY was still in need of the experience but seemed to finish with running left having taken time to hit full stride when fourth at Gowran (9.4f) 12 days ago. Still very much one to be positive about, she can make it third time lucky. Rock of Ireland is a player on the pick of his form and feared on debut for his new yard. Newcomers Hampshire and Il Sovrano are others to note.

After a narrow defeat on debut and shaping like she would relish further at Gowran since, SIEGE OF TROY could be the one to side with
Class & Speed Card

THERAPIST hasn't looked back since going handicapping, rewarding those favourite-backers who kept the faith after three straight losses by going in at Southwell and Huntingdon. A 4lb rise doesn't seem too harsh for the latest of those, and she is still well treated compared to her Flat rating. The same can be said for Ikigai Star and Dog Fox, with the latter offering encouragement when runner-up on his handicap bow at Southwell.

THERAPIST has proved a different proposition following a short break/switch to handicaps in this sphere, successful at Southwell/Huntingdon, and she looks a serious player in her hat-trick bid up 4 lb for her latest success. Fellow 4-y-os Dog Fox and Ikigai Star are others to consider in a competitive contest.

Top of the list is 4yo IKIGAI STAR, who won a Huntingdon maiden last month and is open to more progress on this handicap hurdle debut.
Class & Speed Card

LUNARIO has been maintaining his form in recent months, as evidenced by placed efforts at Goodwood, Bath and Nottingham. Alice Haynes' gelding looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to regain the winning thread and he edges the vote over Hitched. The son of Cotai Glory posted a respectable fourth on his reappearance at Brighton in May and any improvement is likely to see him fighting in the finish. Royal Tapestry can chase the duo home.

Stale switcher COME ON YOU SPURS remains lightly raced and is fancied to make a winning return from a 6-month absence with the step up in trip promising to suit the daughter of Zoffany. The consistent Lunario should pose a serious threat once again, with Hitched also highly respected with a recent run now under his belt.

The most solid contenders are HITCHED and Lunario.
Class & Speed Card

After shedding her maiden tag at the second time of asking over 1m at Haydock, this appears a good opportunity for THEWIND CRIES MARY to follow up. Ed Bethell's filly won more cosily than the neck distance might suggest on that occasion and she can put her experience to good use. Bothar has also shaped as if he will be winning races on his two starts to date and he is feared most, while Germanic is also noted.

THEWIND CRIES MARY built on her promising debut run when taking a 4-runner Haydock novice (1m) 5 weeks ago and she rates the most solid option here with the prospect of more to come. Bothar and Germanic are another pair of likely improvers who can also figure.

The selection is THEWIND CRIES MARY who already has the form on the board having won a Haydock novice last time.

GRAPPA NONINO is ideally suited by these staying distances and fast ground, and also ran well in a recent course handicap. He has won just twice from 17 Flat runs but scored here last August and while rated 4lb higher than his last run, he finished ahead of today's rivals Rain and Bold Approach and can confirm those placings. Ryan Moore is a notable booking to ride Scaramanga and while his year-long absence isn't overly concerning coming from his top yard, he has been well held on his latest Flat runs and is now a nine-year-old. Stablemate Stoke The Fire is a lesser-rated hurdler but is race-fit and ran well in Flat handicaps last year.

Dermot Weld won back to back runnings of this a couple of years ago and perhaps GRAPPA NONINO can deny the Willie Mullins contingent, headed by Stoke The Fire and Scaramanga. How About No and Bold Approach also make the shortlist.

Preference is for ST FAZ, winner of a Killarney maiden hurdle before a good effort over 1m5f at Leopardstown. 2m should suit him well

After a comfortable success over the extended 2m4f at Market Rasen last month, KALEB is taken to follow up. Amy Murphy's charge scored by a little over a length on that occasion and a 3lb rise in the ratings may not halt his progression. Fellow last-time-out winner Ballygeary should give the selection most to think about but he needs to defy a 7lb hike, while former Grade 3 winner Party Business is also noted.

The likeable KALEB might be able to defy a 3 lb rise for Market Rasen. Tedley has been running with credit in defeat lately and might be the one to give the selection most to think about ahead of Irish-raider Zeeband.

Several have possibilities but the vote goes to BALLYGEARY, who was a clearcut winner in a Class 2 at Market Rasen three weeks ago.

Market support for the stable/seasonal debutant Neverstopdreaming must be noted, particularly with the No Nay Never filly capping off last year's campaign with a victory at Carlisle. However, last month's Kempton third LOU LOU'S GIFT has the benefit of a run and that match-fitness could prove pivotal come the finish. Aquacell also arrives in good heart and Jane Chapple-Hyam's filly cannot be easily dismissed.

Successful on her final outing as a juvenile, LOU LOU'S GIFT returned to action with a solid third on handicap debut at Kempton 4 weeks ago and, very much the type to improve again for her leading yard, she's very much of interest back on turf. Bulldog Drummond, returned to 7f, is a threat following his encouraging stable debut effort here, with Aquacell another to consider.

Back down in grade, BULLDOG DRUMMOND looks an interesting alternative to the unexposed fillies Lou Lou's Gift and Aquacell.

TEN POUNDS caught the eye when keeping on for fourth as he made a highly encouraging debut at Newbury and, with improvement expected, Harry Charlton's charge may be able to get off the mark. Placed on each of his last two starts over further at Nottingham, Washeek can give him the most to think about, while newcomer Walson's Law is a half-brother to the useful Air To Air. Baraq and Chiellini are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

TEN POUNDS was sent off at long odds but showed plenty of ability when fourth in a big field Newbury novice on debut 6 weeks ago. That looks solid form, and with progress on the cards, he's fancied to build on that and come out on top here. George Boughey newcomer Walson's Law and Baraq are others to consider, as is Washeek, who lines up here with first-time cheekpieces enlisted.

Harry Charlton's TEN POUNDS caught the eye with his finishing effort at Newbury and represents a yard that is going well.

Improving three-year-old LORD CHURCH has good physical size so can continue to progress as he chases a hat-trick. He showed little as a juvenile and while he faces far more than when winning ordinary handicaps against his own age group at Limerick and Cork, he has been raised just 5lb for each win. Alpha Capture debuts for Willie Mullins and while once rated 103, he flopped last year. A slow-starter who wears a hood for stalls entry, he retains his same ownership and needs to recapture his Listed-winning juvenile form as he steps up notably in distance. Silkies Sib's half-brother was Listed-placed and while he is rated 7lb higher than when winning over this distance at Leopardstown, he should climb the handicap ladder further.

LORD CHURCH has looked most progressive since switched to handicaps and there's more to come, so he's fancied to complete the hat-trick at the possible expense of Brewel Hill, who shaped nicely at Limerick recently. Apercu is another one to consider.

BREWEL HILL ran a huge race on his return last time and he should go well with improvement likely and the ground in his favour

Having made a pleasing start to her career over timber, WALK OF THE ROSES can get her head in front for the first time in this sphere. David Pipe's five-year-old had excuses for her second over 2m1f at Newton Abbot last month and she can go one better. Briefly has been knocking on the door of late and she rates as the biggest danger, while Moon Lady heads the remainder.

BRIEFLY is following a similar path over hurdles as in bumpers in that she's proving to be steadily progressive and gets the nod to open her account in an ordinary affair. Walk of The Roses is entitled to improve on her initial outing in this sphere, while Marco's Light shaped as if in need of the experience in her sole outing in bumpers and could fare much better on this switch to hurdling.

Preference is for bumper winner WALK OF THE ROSES, who started her hurdling career with a promising second at Newton Abbot last month.

Rosy Affair scored on her second attempt in handicap company at Chepstow when always in control of proceedings. However, a 6lb rise requires another step forward against potentially stronger opposition. Ananda has the talent to be competitive but didn't appear to be straightforward when runner-up at Haydock. With that in mind, GUTSY GIRL may be the answer after running with a huge amount of credit when third under a penalty at Windsor. The daughter of Blue Point may well have won with a clear run and an opening mark of 85 could be generous from the handicapper.

ROSY AFFAIR made it 2 wins from 4 career starts to date despite still looking very much a work-in-progress at Chepstow 3 weeks ago and she shades the vote with the likelihood of more to come. Ananda and Gutsy Girl are similarly progressive fillies and also enter calculations.

An opening mark of 85 should be manageable for GUTSY GIRL. Ananda and Rosy Affair look the biggest threats.

A winner at Ayr in May, WARMINSTER is better than he showed at Carlisle most recently and having run well here before, this looks like a decent opportunity to notch up a third career success. Gidwa was down the field at Thirsk on Monday, but he is a capable sort. Fircombe Hall was a comfortable winner on his last start over this C&D, while others to note include Dandy Spirit, Global Humor and Port And Starburd.

This is a particularly poor race and, while he failed to beat a rival at Musselburgh last time, it's worth taking a chance on FIRCOMBE HALL to make a winning return to this track (has an excellent record here). All of the others arrive out of form but Warminster could bounce back, so he's regarded as the main danger.

It's difficult to warm to any of these. NOTION IN MOTION is at least lightly raced and ran his best race for his former yard here.

MODEL APPROACH showed improvement when finishing second in first-time blinkers last Saturday and is rated just 1lb higher now. He seemed to benefit from stepping up in trip at Down Royal and while he meets older horses for the first time, he steps up an extra two furlongs which could suit. Lady Christa won easily at Fairyhouse recently but has been raised 11lb and has a more exposed profile that the selection. Robbies Rock has raced just three times and meets more experienced rivals on handicap debut but showed nice improvement when stepping up in distance at Down Royal last month. This is a tougher test but, in common with the selection, he steps up two furlongs in distance and is unexposed.

LADY CHRISTA made all with loads to spare at Fairyhouse a fortnight ago and, despite a hefty rise, she's worth chancing to go in again. There's plenty of depth in the opposition and Courageous Strike is of interest after a positive start for his new stable, while Zariygann should have a bigger effort in him back up in trip.

The one to beat could be LADY CHRISTA(nap), who relished the trip when winning at Fairyhouse and might not be halted by an 11lb rise

Now in the hands of new connections after an encouraging start to her career in a bumper at Galway last September, FINAL ESCAPE looks the one to beat on her hurdles bow with the step up in trip expected to suit. Beau Della arrives with similar claims after a pair of runner-up efforts in bumpers, while Bing Belle is another to consider following a respectable fourth over shorter at Fontwell last month.

FINAL ESCAPE produced a promising first effort when second of 14 in a Galway bumper on debut for Margaret Mullins 9 months ago and, having been sold for 40,000 gns in October, she makes plenty of appeal now starting out over hurdles at an ordinary level. Scarlet O'Tara undoubtedly remains capable of better, for all that the drop back in trip may not be ideal, while Beau Della ought to be up to making her presence felt judged on her bumper exploits.

Preference is for BEAU DELLA, who was runner-up in her last two bumpers and looks interesting upped in trip on hurdling debut.

SIGNALMAN wasn't disgraced in finishing fourth on his handicap debut at Sandown when attempting to make all the running and, in a contest that doesn't appear to have much depth on paper, the son of New Approach may be able to take advantage, especially in first-time cheekpieces. Xiomara has shaped well on both efforts in handicap company and is expected to be in the mix, while Savanna King completes the shortlist.

XIOMARA was a lot better than the result at Salisbury last time. Her Nottingham second prior to that suggests she has a race in her from this sort of mark and she's preferred to fellow 3-y-o Signalman.

A few runners have shown clear promise since switched to handicap level. Slight preference is for XIOMARA, ahead of Signalman.

HOME SWEET HIGHWAY must hold every chance if building on a career-best effort when runner-up over C&D last time out. Mistakes late in that contest may have cost him and, with a clearer round of jumping on this occasion, Donald McCain's charge can get the better of The Bold Thady and Bright Sunbird, who wasn't beaten far over further at Kelso last month. Dynamite Kentucky, Johns Dream and Nora The Xplorer complete the shortlist.

Plenty of these arrive out of form so a chance is taken on stable-switcher GRASS'S JET, who matched the best of his novice form when fourth on handicap debut at Taunton in December and looks capable of better again for his new yard this season. Home Street Highway bounced back to form when runner-up here last month, and he may have to settle for silver again, with Bright Sunbird and If I Say another couple fancied to go well.

It may pay to side with local runner HOME SWEET HIGHWAY who responded well to blinkers last time.
