13:15 Curragh Maiden 7f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
4	4 (4) (150/1 -50%) Curragh Conjurer	150 150/1(-50%)	(4) Curragh Conjurer 150/1, Foaled February 25. 8,000 gns yearling, Sergei Prokofiev colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful winner up to 6f Wedding Date and winner up to 6f Secret Potion. Dam maiden (stayed 7f). Inexpensively bought son of Sergei Prokofiev; likely has his work cut out.
1	8 1st (8) (11/1 -120%) Hazdann	11 11/1(-120%)	(8) Hazdann 11/1, Highly promising type. Ninth of 13 in maiden at Gowran (7f, good, 12/1) on debut 13 days ago, finishing with running left. Has plenty of scope to improve and has the benefit of experience over his rivals. Should improve plenty for his Gowran run but that might not be enough to figure here.
2	7 2nd (7) (17/2 +39%) Green Impact	8.5 17/2(+39%)	(7) Green Impact 17/2, Foaled January 18. Wootton Bassett colt. Dam, maiden (stayed 13.5f), half-sister to smart 6f winner Alphabet. Home-bred colt and his pedigree sells itself; every chance that he could go close.
3	5 3rd (5) (6/1 -20%) Currawood	6 6/1(-20%)	(5) Currawood 6/1, Foaled February 4. €240,000 yearling, Acclamation colt. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 7f-1m winner Oh This Is Us (by Acclamation) out of smart winner up to 1m (2-y-o 6f winner) Shamwari Lodge. One to consider for stable that can ready a newcomer. Cost Eur240,000 ; attractively bred colt and a bold showing looks likely.
4	2 4th (2) (12/1 -85%) Bernard Shaw	12 12/1(-85%)	(2) Bernard Shaw 12/1, Foaled March 27. $550,000 foal, $1,800,000 yearling, Into Mischief colt. Half-brother to 2 winners in US, including minor stakes winner at 1m Lady Kate, runner-up in Grade 1 8.5f. Dam US 8.5f/9f (Canadian Grade 1) winner. Big player. Cost $1.8 million as a yearling, by Grade 1 winning juvenile Into Mischief; interesting.
5th	3 5th (3) (10/1 +0%) Black Forza	10 10/1(+0%)	(3) Black Forza 10/1, Foaled February 9. $27,000 foal, $65,000 yearling, £220,000 2-y-o, Complexity colt. Half-brother to minor US winner by West Coast. Dam, US 5.5f/6f winner, half-sister to US Grade 2 7f winner California Nectar. Should be well tuned up. £220,000 breeze-up purchase with a very speedy pedigree; worth a market check.
6th	1 6th (1) (14/1 -17%) Apples And Bananas	14 14/1(-17%)	(1) Apples And Bananas 14/1, Foaled February 3. €130,000 yearling, Wootton Bassett colt. Dam winner up to 10.4f (2-y-o 7f winner) out of winning half-sister to top-class winner up to 1½m Sinndar. Of definite interest. Well-bred newcomer with stamina a premium; likely to improve for time and distance.
7th	10 7th (10) (200/1 -300%) Ja'marr	200 200/1(-300%)	(10) Ja'marr 200/1, Foaled March 30. 19,000 gns foal, €34,000 yearling, Zoustar colt. Half-brother to useful 7f winner Monkey Island. Dam unraced out of smart 2-y-o 7f winner (stayed 1½m) Laughing Lashes. Best watched here although the stable has some interesting juveniles.
8th	13 8th (13) (2/1 -14%) Rock Of Cashel	2 2/1(-14%)	(13) Rock Of Cashel 2/1, Foaled January 25. Wootton Bassett colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including very smart winner up to 1½m Snowfall and useful 2-y-o 7f winner Alfred Munnings. Makes plenty of appeal on paper. Beautifully bred colt; the choice of Ryan Moore and likely to take beating.
9th	15 9th (15) (15/2 -7%) Trinity College	7.5 15/2(-7%)	(15) Trinity College 15/2, Foaled March 30. Dubawi colt. Half-brother to 7f winner Igor Stravinsky. Dam, winner up to 1m (British/Irish 1000 Guineas, and 2-y-o 7f winner), sister to very smart winner up to 1½m The United States. One to note. Impeccably bred Dubawi colt; looks the stable second string but still well worth watching.
10th	6 10th (6) (14/1 -27%) Daler	14 14/1(-27%)	(6) Daler 14/1, Foaled February 12. €78,000 foal, Dark Angel colt. Dam, 7f winner, sister to smart 1¼m-1½m winner (stays 2m) Aaddeey out of useful 2-y-o 7f/1m winner Feedyah. Worth monitoring in the betting. Nice mix of speed and stamina in his pedigree; likely to improve and worth watching.
11th	9 11th (9) (50/1 +0%) High Favour	50 50/1(+0%)	(9) High Favour 50/1, Foaled March 19. Dawn Approach colt. Brother to 7f-1¼m winner Level Pitch and half-brother to useful 6f winner Sometimesadiamond. Considered. Newcomer by Dawn Approach related to plenty of winners; best watched here though.
12th	12 12th (12) (66/1 -164%) Red Charlie	66 66/1(-164%)	(12) Red Charlie 66/1, Foaled March 20. $45,000 yearling, War of Will colt. Closely related to useful US 5.5f winner Compelled and half-brother to minor winners in US by Tapit and Curlin. Interesting on paper for shrewd stable. Interesting newcomer with an American pedigree from these quarters; market likely to guide.
13th	11 13th (11) (125/1 -89%) Justified Risk	125 125/1(-89%)	(11) Justified Risk 125/1, Foaled March 29. €54,000 foal, 50,000 gns yearling, Kodiac colt. Half-brother to 6f winner Havana Rum. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 7f winner Hunt. Trainer doubly represented here; best watched on debut in a race of this class.
14th	14 14th (14) (250/1 -400%) Show Your Workings	250 250/1(-400%)	(14) Show Your Workings 250/1, Foaled March 11. €45,000 yearling, Invincible Army colt. Half-brother to 2-y-o 6f winner Palace Gardens. Related to some smart winners at sprint trips; looks the first-string of the stable duo.

LTO Selection:

ROCK OF CASHEL represents the top yard and on pedigree, stands out. A half-brother to wide-margin Oaks winner Snowfall and Group-placed Alfred Munnings, his Group 3-winning dam is a sister to top racemare Found and the selection debuts in a race in which City Of Troy won for his same connections last year. Bernard Shaw, a $1,800,000 yearling purchase, is out of a Canadian Grade 2 winner and is a sibling to three black type performers - one of whom today's rider John Velazquez rode in America. Another stablemate of the selection, Trinity College is out of 1,000 Guineas winner Hermosa, while Hazdann showed promise when meeting some traffic on debut at Gowran.

This is tricky without the benefit of market clues but BLACK FORZA was an expensive Breeze-Up acquisition for an operation that often has it's newcomers well forward, so a chance is taken on him. Bernard Shaw, a $1.8 million yearling with an exceptional pedigree, is an obvious player, while his stablemate Rock of Cash should come into the reckoning.

We will take a chance here with the well-bred Harrington newcomer GREEN IMPACT, a Wootton Basset newcomer out of a Galileo mare

13:15 Curragh Maiden 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:35 Newcastle Handicap (Class 2) 6f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (9/2 +18%) Wiltshire	4.5 9/2(+18%)	(5) Wiltshire 9/2, Lightly raced 5-y-o who ended last year with success at Chelmsford and picked up where he left off making yard debut when bagging 16-runner Newbury handicap (6f) in April. Firmer ground possibly not his bag back there latest and bounce back possible (2-2 on artificial surfaces). Latest run needs forgiving but promise of earlier Newbury win not yet forgotten; 2-2 on AW.
2	7 2nd (7) (8/1 +20%) King's Lynn	8 8/1(+20%)	(7) King's Lynn 8/1, It's now 16 runs since his last victory in 2022 but he recorded a respectable fourth of 15 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Handicapper has eased him a further 2 lb and each-way claims. Retains ability and continues to drop in weights; e/w shout under suitable conditions.
3	13 3rd (13) (11/4 +73%) City House	2.75 11/4(+73%)	(13) City House 11/4, Registered a facile victory on nursery debut at Kempton (6f) in October. Efforts mixed in 2 turf starts during the spring but firmly back on track second of 10 in handicap back at Kempton (6f) 17 days ago, running on. Well worth a second look here. Looked the best horse in the race when 2nd at Kempton 17 days ago; unexposed on AW; player.
4	14 4th (14) (10/1 +17%) Cross The Tracks	10 10/1(+17%)	(14) Cross The Tracks 10/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (5/4) at this C&D 48 days ago, making all and keeping on well. Assessor applies further pressure now but respected nevertheless with his form figures here standing at 121. Taken well to this track; up in weights against better opposition but still a contender.
5th	4 5th (4) (10/1 +50%) Strike Red	10 10/1(+50%)	(4) Strike Red 10/1, C&D winner who signed off 2023 with 6f Curragh handicap success and best effort since when running on fifth at Epsom (6f) at the start of this month. Couldn't build on that when thirteenth of 25 in Wokingham at Royal Ascot (6f) last week but this rates less demanding. Conditions to suit and back to a winning mark; one to be interested in.
6th	11 6th (11) (20/1 +20%) Lir Speciale	20 20/1(+20%)	(11) Lir Speciale 20/1, Four-time winner for Roger Varian and bright start for new yard when fourth tackling inadequate trip on return at Newmarket (5f) in May. Similar form when tenth of 14 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good to firm) 21 days ago and his mark is easing. Promising stable debut but failed to build on it latest; return to AW looks a good move.
7th	10 7th (10) (22/1 -238%) Batal Dubai	22 22/1(-238%)	(10) Batal Dubai 22/1, Won this race 12 months ago (from 1 lb lower mark) and signed off the campaign with victory at Chelmsford (6f) in October. Largely held his form well on AW prior to a lesser effort at Haydock (6f) 3 weeks ago and he's a likely type to bounce back. Latest turf run excusable; current mark fair on this year's AW best; won this race in 2023.
8th	1 8th (1) (50/1 -100%) Wodao	50 50/1(-100%)	(1) Wodao 50/1, Winless since 2 yrs and he ended 2023 well below par for Donnacha O'Brien. Makes his yard/handicap debut after nine months off/gelding operation with bit to prove. Pick of his form for D O'Brien gives him claims but ended 2023 quietly; gelded; new yard.
9th	2 9th (2) (100/1 -900%) Rizg	100 100/1(-900%)	(2) Rizg 100/1, 6f winner as a juvenile and displayed useful form in light 2022 campaign. Down the field in Commonwealth Cup at the Royal Meeting that year and he's been absent/gelded subsequently. Market best guide following 2 years off. Looked promising early on but something to prove back from a 743-day absence.
10th	12 10th (12) (33/1 -408%) Almarada Prince	33 33/1(-408%)	(12) Almarada Prince 33/1, Yet to add to his three juvenile wins this term but he represents an in-form yard and he ran particularly well when second of 17 in handicap at York (6f) 2 weeks ago, doing best of those ridden prominently. Remains one of the least exposed and he's one to bear in mind. Improved effort when 2nd of 17 in a strong York handicap two weeks ago; up 2lb; AW winner.
11th	3 11th (3) (350/1 -2088%) Sophia's Starlight	350 350/1(-2088%)	(3) Sophia's Starlight 350/1, Useful filly. Five wins from 19 Flat runs. 6/1, 6¼ lengths fifth of 8 to Jabaara in listed race at Musselburgh (7.1f, good) 28 days ago, weakening 1f out. Drop back to 6f will suit and she hasn't had many tries on all weather. 6lb higher than for last year's Great St Wilfrid success; vulnerable to improvers.
12th	8 12th (8) (300/1 -1775%) Wobwobwob	300 300/1(-1775%)	(8) Wobwobwob 300/1, Won Ayr Silver Cup last autumn and having slipped back down to that mark, capitalised on the drop in grade when winning 15-runner handicap at Thirsk (6f, soft) in May. Not seen to anything like best effect in big-field handicap at York (6f) latest but he's still to defy a mark this high. Better than ever at Thirsk last month (6f, good to soft); midfield at York latest; AW a ?.
13th	6 13th (6) (450/1 -3114%) Magical Spirit	450 450/1(-3114%)	(6) Magical Spirit 450/1, C&D winner who made a winning return from much-reduced mark at Doncaster (6f) in April. However, failed to match that by a long way when seventeenth of 21 in handicap at York (6f, good, 14/1) 45 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Good win at Doncaster on his reappearance but ran no sort of race at York last month.
14th	9 14th (9) (450/1 -800%) Kingentleman	450 450/1(-800%)	(9) Kingentleman 450/1, Useful performer at best, winning 3 times at Chantilly in 2022. Well below form all 3 starts last year and offered little on his Doncaster stable debut 28 days ago. Hooded now. Can only watch. Group 3 winner in France in prime but made low-key stable debut (7f) this month; 2-4 on AW.

Despite disappointing when seeking to land a hat-trick over 6f at Newbury last time, WILTSHIRE still makes plenty of appeal for the William Haggas team. This son of Aclaim runs off just 2lb higher than his success at Newbury on his penultimate start and this return to the all weather should suit, given he's got an unbeaten record (2-2) on artificial surfaces. Rizg is feared most after competing in much stronger contests than this of late and he's likely to be seen to better effect in handicap company, while Almarada Prince completes the shortlist.

CITY HOUSE got right back to his very best when finishing runner-up at Kempton 17 days ago, catching the eye with the rapid headway he made from further back than the winner. He's very much of interest taking on his elders for the first time. Wiltshire may have found conditions too quick at Newbury on his latest outing and he's worth another chance. Almarada Prince, following a big run at York,, last year's winner Batal Dubai and Cross The Tracks are also respected.

Wiltshire and Strike Red are greatly respected but CITY HOUSE hasn't reached his ceiling on the AW just yet.

13:35 Newcastle Handicap (Class 2) 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:40 Newmarket Maiden (Class 4) 7f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 (1) (10/3 -48%) Beronia	3.333333 10/3(-48%)	(1) Beronia 10/3, Stuck to her task when third of 13 in novice event at Thirsk (6f, good) 13 days ago, barely adequate test. Likely to improve, particularly over 7f. Engaged 5.15 Newmarket Friday. Placed in two 6f northern novices and another here yesterday; 7f can help.
1	4 1st (4) (2/1 +20%) Remaat	2 2/1(+20%)	(4) Remaat 2/1, Much sharper second start when finding only one too good in 11 in maiden (15/2) at Kempton (6f) 24 days ago, running on. 7f will suit so she's an obvious contender. The form of her Kempton second reads well and bred to appreciate this step up in trip.
2	2 2nd (2) (6/1 +8%) New Charter	6 6/1(+8%)	(2) New Charter 6/1, Promising debut when second on the Rowley but unable to match that level both starts since, fourth of 8 in novice event at Salisbury (6f, good, 5/2) 13 days ago. Isn't really crying out for 7f either, though this is unlikely to be a thorough test. Talented but keen-going tendencies spell some danger now raised in trip.
3	3 3rd (3) (100/1 -6035%) Paradise Springs	100 100/1(-6035%)	(3) Paradise Springs 100/1, Foaled March 8. Ghaiyyath filly. Closely related to very smart winner up to 1m Naval Crown and half-sister to useful 7f winner Spring Promise. Trainer’s newcomers command utmost respect. Newcomer from a yard that's won the last two renewals of this with quality fillies.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content,

Remaat improved from her debut to chase home a well-bred filly (engaged in the Empress Stakes here at 2.15) in a Kempton maiden earlier this month and rates a serious player here. New Charter has ability and can pay her way in handicap company before too long. However, as a close relative of Group 1-winning sprinter Naval Crown, it is PARADISE SPRINGS who stands out based on potential. Charlie Appleby boasts a fine strike-rate with his juveniles and this Godolphin home-bred can boost the trainer's statistics further.

None of the 4 can be safely ruled out, but BERONIA is crying out for 7f so she gets the tentative nod if taking up this engagement. Remaat is an obvious threat on form, while support for Paradise Springs on debut would put a different slant on things.

Newcomer PARADISE SPRINGS hails from a yard that has won the last two runnings of this race with fillies bound for Group-race honours.

13:45 Curragh Handicap 6f - 16 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	10 1st (10) (4/1 -33%) Apricot Ice	4 4/1(-33%)	(10) Apricot Ice 4/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. 5/2, career best when winning 13-runner maiden at this C&D (good) 36 days ago. Makes handicap debut from a mark demanding more but she's unexposed. C&D maiden winner; unexposed and could well have plenty to offer off this sort of mark.
2	5 2nd (5) (17/2 -13%) Heavenly Power	8.5 17/2(-13%)	(5) Heavenly Power 17/2, C&D winner. 15/2, respectable 2¼ lengths sixth of 17 to Red Letter Bray in handicap at this C&D (good) 36 days ago. Merits consideration. Just a couple of lengths off Red Letter Bray here last month; one of two stable runners.
3	15 3rd (15) (28/1 -12%) Tai Tam Bay	28 28/1(-12%)	(15) Tai Tam Bay 28/1, Winner at Naas in April. Eleventh of 13 in handicap (8/1) at this course (7f, good) 35 days ago. Very hard to make a case for. Back over her best trip today but has not been dropped and is 3lb wrong to boot.
4	11 4th (11) (7/2 +36%) Gordon Bennett	3.5 7/2(+36%)	(11) Gordon Bennett 7/2, C&D winner. 17/2, good 3¼ lengths tenth of 17 to Red Letter Bray in handicap at this C&D (good) 36 days ago, not clear run. Expected to be bang there on the back of that eye-catching run. Down the field behind Red Letter Bray here last month; others preferred.
4	2 4th (2) (11/1 -47%) Red Letter Bray	11 11/1(-47%)	(2) Red Letter Bray 11/1, First run since leaving M. D. O'Callaghan when career best when winning 17-runner handicap (100/1) at this C&D (good) 36 days ago. Showed a cracking attitude on that occasion but task is to now back that up. 100-1 winner here latest; up 6lb for that and should be a leading contender once more.
6th	4 6th (4) (16/1 -45%) Apache Outlaw	16 16/1(-45%)	(4) Apache Outlaw 16/1, Latest win at Dundalk in March. 5/2, fourth of 6 in handicap at Fairyhouse (6f, good) 15 days ago. Yard in good form. Better on AW; not beaten far over 6f at Fairyhouse a couple of weeks ago; more needed here.
7th	3 7th (3) (7/1 +7%) Rahmi	7 7/1(+7%)	(3) Rahmi 7/1, Course winner. 6/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at this course (8f, good) 36 days ago. Down in trip. Best run this year when second in a 7f premier handicap at Cork; interesting back in trip.
8th	1 8th (1) (28/1 -75%) Laugh A Minute	28 28/1(-75%)	(1) Laugh A Minute 28/1, Course winner. Latest win at Naas in April. 14/1, 11½ lengths last of 17 to Red Letter Bray in handicap at this C&D (good) 36 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Adrian McGuinness. Prefers more of an ease in the ground nowadays; debuts for Jack Davison here.
9th	13 9th (13) (9/1 -29%) Charlisse	9 9/1(-29%)	(13) Charlisse 9/1, 12/1, good second of 9 in handicap at this C&D (good) 36 days ago, just failing. Remains of interest. Probably not badly handicapped on Curragh run and has a very eye-catching jockey booking.
10th	12 10th (12) (80/1 -100%) Big Baby Bull	80 80/1(-100%)	(12) Big Baby Bull 80/1, Course winner. First run since leaving James McAuley when third of 10 in claimer at Dundalk (6f, 4/1). Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving Miss Shauna Larkin. Not taken lightly. Six time winner; not seen since claimed at Dundalk in November; others preferred.
11th	7 11th (7) (66/1 -200%) Dontspoilasale	66 66/1(-200%)	(7) Dontspoilasale 66/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 8/1, 4 lengths last of 9 to Collective Power in handicap at Dundalk (6f). Off 127 days. Gelded since his last run in February and might be best watched this time.
12th	14 12th (14) (20/1 +39%) Dynamic Force	20 20/1(+39%)	(14) Dynamic Force 20/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Ninth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 10/1). Off 118 days. First run for yard after leaving Robert Cowell. Looks competitive on form if fully wound up for this. Debuts for Fozzy Stack here; worth a market check but probably best watched.
13th	6 13th (6) (16/1 -100%) Collective Power	16 16/1(-100%)	(6) Collective Power 16/1, 4/1, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Cork (5f, good) 15 days ago, faring best of those held up. This big-field scenario may help his cause. Close third in a 5f Cork handicap two weeks ago; probably better over this trip; claims.
14th	8 14th (8) (16/1 -14%) Tawaazon	16 16/1(-14%)	(8) Tawaazon 16/1, C&D winner. Good second of 6 in handicap (11/1) at Fairyhouse (6f, good) 15 days ago. Stepping back in the right direction so dangerous from this sort of mark. Good second at Fairyhouse; 8lb lower than when winning over C&D last year; interesting.
15th	9 15th (9) (33/1 -18%) Duplantis	33 33/1(-18%)	(9) Duplantis 33/1, C&D winner. 33/1, twelfth of 14 in minor event at Gowran (9.4f, good to soft) 26 days ago, folding. Significantly back down in trip. First run for yard after leaving G. M. Lyons. Soundly beaten in two runs this year; probably best watched on debut for Richard O'Brien.
16th	16 16th (16) (50/1 -25%) Clonmacash	50 50/1(-25%)	(16) Clonmacash 50/1, 10/1 and visored for first time, seventh of 10 in handicap at Fairyhouse (6f, good) 15 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere. Faded in a first-time visor at Fairyhouse two weeks ago;4lb wrong and has a difficult task.

APRICOT ICE debuts in handicaps as a three-year-old against seasoned types but her form is strong and she should better her 87 rating. She was well held in a Listed race as a juvenile but her form since is largely consistent and won when dropping to this distance last month, with the third-placed filly winning well on Wednesday. Red Letter Bray is ideally suited by this distance and is ground-versatile. He won at 100/1 on debut for new connections over C&D last month but is 6lb higher now. The lightly-raced Charlisse dropped to this distance for the first time when beaten just a nose over C&D last month and should compete from 3lb higher on just her third turf start.

GORDON BENNETT was a pretty big eyecatcher in the C&D race won by Red Letter Bray last month and granted more luck, he looks the answer. There's plenty of depth to this race, with Charlisse and Collective Power just a couple of potential threats.

Preference is for APRICOT ICE who proved well suited dropped back to this trip here latest and could be quite attractively handicapped

13:45 Curragh Handicap 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:50 Chester Maiden (Class 4) 6f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 (1) (17/2 -42%) Anthropologist	8.5 17/2(-42%)	(1) Anthropologist 17/2, Similar form all 3 starts. Seventh of 12 in novice event (6/1) at Newmarket (6f, good) 43 days ago, pulling hard and losing places close home. Beaten less than 3l in all of his three runs but he needs to find improvement here.
8	8 (8) (125/1 -150%) Eva's Eyes	125 125/1(-150%)	(8) Eva's Eyes 125/1, Twice-raced filly. Eighth of 10 in novice event at this C&D (good to soft, 50/1) 14 days ago. Well held in both runs and latest was over C&D two weeks ago; no appeal.
1	4 1st (4) (11/8 +31%) The Flying Seagull	1.375 11/8(+31%)	(4) The Flying Seagull 11/8, Just about most promising effort yet when second of 10 in novice event at this C&D (good to soft) 14 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Should be in the mix. Good second over C&D latest and this well-bred colt is open to more progress; respected.
2	10 2nd (10) (100/1 -203%) Blueandtangerine	100 100/1(-203%)	(10) Blueandtangerine 100/1, 22/1, sixth of 12 in novice event at Thirsk (5f, heavy) on debut 70 days ago. Up in trip. Well-held on Thirsk debut and she's probably a longer-term prospect.
3	3 3rd (3) (9/1 -227%) Sensorium	9 9/1(-227%)	(3) Sensorium 9/1, Showed ability on debut and pitched into the deep end, he fared as well as could be expected when 8 lengths fourteenth of 27 to Ain't Nobody in listed Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot (5f, firm, 100/1) 10 days ago. Back up in trip and this a much more realistic assignment. Wasn't disgraced in the Windsor Castle and he sets the standard back in much calmer waters.
4	2 4th (2) (125/1 -2678%) Groundsman	125 125/1(-2678%)	(2) Groundsman 125/1, Foaled February 5. €41,000 foal, 62,000 gns yearling, Acclamation colt. Dam, maiden (stayed 8.5f) out of useful 8.3f winner Say No Now. Yard's 2-y-os in excellent order. 62,000gns yearling; yard 17% with 2yos this year and he needs checking in market.
5th	9 5th (9) (350/1 -2400%) Misty Sky	350 350/1(-2400%)	(9) Misty Sky 350/1, 13/2, refused to race in maiden at Pontefract (6f, good) on debut 19 days ago. Will hopefully be on best behaviour next time. 15-2 for her Pontefract debut but she refused to race; stablemate of The Flying Seagull.
6th	7 6th (7) (300/1 -2900%) Uncle Bonni	300 300/1(-2900%)	(7) Uncle Bonni 300/1, Foaled May 9. 31,000 gns yearling, 30,000 gns 2-y-o, Mehmas gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including US winner up to 1m Goodthingstaketime and 1¼m winner Blueflagflyinghigh. Yard more than capable of readying one. 30,000gns breeze-up 2yo; yard 24% with 2yos this season and he needs a close look on debut.
7th	5 7th (5) (300/1 -3233%) Mrbluesky	300 300/1(-3233%)	(5) Mrbluesky 300/1, Stepped up on debut run when third of 14 in seller at York (6f, good to soft) 15 days ago, slowly away. Capable of a bigger performance when breaking on terms. Eyecatching third in Rous seller at York latest and he's open to more progress.
8th	6 8th (6) (100/1 -400%) Son Of Astar	100 100/1(-400%)	(6) Son Of Astar 100/1, Low-key debut and but sent off at 33/1, he showed more when fourth of 7 in novice event at Leicester (5f, good to soft) 32 days ago. Up in trip. Well held in two 5f runs at Leicester and has plenty to find upped in trip.

After struggling to land a blow in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot last week, SENSORIUM appears primed to make his presence felt dropped back into these calmer waters. Dylan Cunha's charge has been drawn in stall one which should really help this son of Kodiac. The Flying Seagull is feared most after a good second over C&D last time, while Mrbluesky is also of interest.

SENSORIUM fared as well as could be expected when mid-field in the Windsor Castle 10 days ago and is fancied to make the most of this drop in grade coupled with a plum draw. The Flying Seagull is the obvious threat on form, with Uncle Bonni and Groundsman newcomers for successful yards.

The vote goes to SENSORIUM, who ran respectably in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot and sets the standard back in much calmer eaters.

1	5 1st (5) (7/2 +42%) Montassib	3.5 7/2(+42%)	(5) Montassib 7/2, Smart performer who was confidently ridden when taking listed Cammidge Trophy on seasonal bow at Doncaster (6f, heavy) in March. Not disgraced faced with quicker conditions when midfield in Group 2 Duke of York since and respected for yard who have landed each of the last 2 renewals of this. York's 6f on good ground looked an insufficient test latest; still capable of better at 6f.
2	4 2nd (4) (3/1 +14%) Kinross	3 3/1(+14%)	(4) Kinross 3/1, Very smart sort who held his form terrifically well last season and signed off with an excellent effort going for a repeat win in the Champions Sprint Stakes at Ascot 8 months ago. Missed intended return on account of the going at the Royal Meeting and he's respected in calmer waters now. High-class form at 6f/7f, including when last seen; Listed win on Polytrack; major player.
3	10 3rd (10) (18/1 -29%) Willem Twee	18 18/1(-29%)	(10) Willem Twee 18/1, Smart gelding who took his form up another notch when landing a 6f listed event under Oisin Murphy at Lingfield in November. Ran below best on back of 3 months off when ninth of 11 in handicap at Newbury (6f) 42 days ago but a return to all-weather can see him in a better light now. Two good AW wins last November; has more to come on AW but this is a lively race.
4	3 4th (3) (12/1 +25%) Fivethousandtoone	12 12/1(+25%)	(3) Fivethousandtoone 12/1, Lightly raced 6-y-o who has improved for the application of a visor this year, quickening well to score over C&D in March. Struggled in Group 2 company next time but another who can have his run in the Wokingham overlooked having had no room to open up. Bit to find on these terms, however. Impressive over C&D on Good Friday and excuses since; could go well at a price.
5th	9 5th (9) (7/1 -40%) Spycatcher	7 7/1(-40%)	(9) Spycatcher 7/1, Developed into a smart sprinter last season, winning twice and best of those held up when third in Champions' Sprint at Ascot final start. Returned with a solid third in Abernant Stakes in April but subsequent effort in York Group 2 underwhelming. Type to bounce back (runner up 12 months ago). Close 2nd in this race last year; flopped at York last month; type to bounce back quickly.
6th	11 6th (11) (350/1 -1844%) Ballymount Boy	350 350/1(-1844%)	(11) Ballymount Boy 350/1, Runner-up in Richmond at Goodwood and Acomb prior to ending his 2-y-o campaign with a heavy-ground listed win at Doncaster in the autumn. On his toes beforehand and ran no sort of race on his reappearance in the Greenham in April. Needs to leave that well behind. Tough 2yo (Group 2 placed) but absent since a flop at Newbury ten weeks ago.
7th	8 7th (8) (66/1 -500%) Ramazan	66 66/1(-500%)	(8) Ramazan 66/1, Big improver towards the end of last season and he took his form up a notch equipped with a first-time visor when runner-up in Victoria Cup at Ascot (7f) in May. Not in same form when eighth in John of Gaunt Stakes at Haydock (7.2f) latest. Makes tapeta debut. 2nd in last month's Victoria Cup (7f, good); return to 6f no issue; respected on AW debut.
8th	6 8th (6) (33/1 +18%) Never Just A Dream	33 33/1(+18%)	(6) Never Just A Dream 33/1, Useful colt (dual C&D winner in 2022) who returned to his best when successful at Jebel Ali (6f) in March. Below best when last seen later that month and this no easy task on return to these shores. 3-3 on Tapeta as a 2yo, looking smart; mixed record in the UAE since; needs a career best.
9th	1 9th (1) (10/1 +0%) Albasheer	10 10/1(+0%)	(1) Albasheer 10/1, Resumed his progress with back-to-back victories here earlier this year. Not in same form next 2 starts but latest run in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot best excused having been hampered inside final 1f. Not out of things. Two best efforts have come here; excuses in the Wokingham last week; should go well again.
10th	7 10th (7) (150/1 -838%) Popmaster	150 150/1(-838%)	(7) Popmaster 150/1, Smart and reliable gelding who landed 7f Newbury listed event last autumn. Comes here having acquitted himself well in recent months, 4 lengths seventh of 11 to Tiber Flow in John of Gaunt Stakes at Haydock (7.2f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Each-way claims back on a straight track. Ended 2023 on the up; solid efforts this year without suggesting he is one to be on here.
11th	2 11th (2) (100/1 -809%) Cold Case	100 100/1(-809%)	(2) Cold Case 100/1, Smart colt who enhanced a fine strike rate when landing Ascot Group 3 on return 12 months ago. Creditable efforts on 2 of his 3 starts thereafter, fourth in Group 1 Prix Maurice de Gheest (6.4f) in August. Absent since but comes here with yard in good form. Smart performer at two & three; won fresh last season; AW debut (dam won here); contender.

Kinross is clear of these on official ratings and he was beaten just a neck in the Group 1 Qipco British Champions Sprint Stakes when last seen in October, but that 252-day break could leave him vulnerable to some race-fit rivals. Preference is for MONTASSIB, who is fancied to return to form after failing to make an impression in the Group 2 Duke of York Clipper Stakes last time. William Haggas has saddled the last two winners of this contest and this son of Exceed And Excel can add to that record. Ramazan heads the remainder.

A winner of his only previous start over C&D, MONTASSIB looked as good as ever when making a winning return at Doncaster in March and, far from disgraced when midfield in Group 2 company at York since, he could be worth siding with to give his leading yard a third consecutive success in this race. The very smart and admirable Kinross is a lead threat on return for the Ralph Beckett yard. Last year's runner-up Spycatcher can also figure.

Ramazan and Kinross are high on the list but MONTASSIB will appreciate today's more thorough test at 6f.

Makes handicap debut. May do better. Well beaten at huge odds in three novice races last month; handicap debut today.

4	6 4th (6) (66/1 -560%) All Too Well	66 66/1(-560%)	(6) All Too Well 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eleventh of 13 in maiden (200/1) at Kempton (11f) 17 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Others are more persuasive. Did not live up to her pedigree in her qualifying races but may improve in handicaps.
5th	5 5th (5) (80/1 -567%) By Farhh The Best	80 80/1(-567%)	(5) By Farhh The Best 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, good) 45 days ago. Needs first-time blinkers to perk her up. Still unexposed after only four starts but was soundly beaten on handicap debut.
6th	1 6th (1) (100/1 -3233%) Compton Bay	100 100/1(-3233%)	(1) Compton Bay 100/1, 12/1, good third of 10 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 35 days ago, well positioned. Should give another good account. In the frame all three starts for stable, most recently when third over C&D last month.
7th	7 7th (7) (250/1 -1463%) Potters Diamond	250 250/1(-1463%)	(7) Potters Diamond 250/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fifth of 7 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 80/1) 68 days ago. Others make more appeal. Safely held off today's basement mark in her first two handicaps, the latter over C&D.

The Gosdens can't have had many horses rated just 52 pass through their hands, but ALL TOO WELL goes handicapping off that mark after showing precious little in three qualifying runs. The daughter of Ulysses can take advantage of the assessor's potential leniency although, if she struggles again, Compton Bay is more than capable of capitalising after three solid efforts since joining Michael Madgwick. Standbackandlook and Kinetic aren't out of it either.

STANDBACKANDLOOK arrives in form and has been shaping like this step up in trip will bring more out of him, so he's preferred to Kinetic in a thin race. Compton Bay should give his running again.

Unlucky not to finish closer than fourth over 1m2f here 19 days ago, KINETIC looks well worth a crack at today's longer trip.

1	2 1st (2) (10/1 +0%) Celandine	10 10/1(+0%)	(2) Celandine 10/1, Green on debut and different proposition when proving 1¾ lengths too strong for the reopposing Pouting at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 16 days later. More to come from her. Made pretty much all when pulling away from Pouting at Windsor 19 days ago.
2	11 2nd (11) (5/1 -11%) Tales Of The Heart	5 5/1(-11%)	(11) Tales Of The Heart 5/1, 400,000 gns yearling who made a winning start to her career over 6f at Kempton 24 days ago, taking a while to get going but coming home strongly. Sure to progress for a yard with a good record in this. Impressed with finishing effort at Kempton; stable has won this twice in four years.

4	4 4th (4) (25/1 -150%) It Ain't Two	25 25/1(-150%)	(4) It Ain't Two 25/1, Won a 5f Rowley Course maiden on debut in April. Poorly drawn when only eighth of 15 in 5f York listed race next time and back to winning ways in 6f Carlisle novice since. Won two of her three starts but others with greater potential appeal more.
5th	9 5th (9) (50/1 -355%) Santa Savana	50 50/1(-355%)	(9) Santa Savana 50/1, Bred to be useful and made a winning start to her career over 6f at Leicester (soft) last month, coming nicely clear in the latter stages. Another in this line-up who should have more to offer. Looked good at Leicester and there's some substance to that form; hard to rule out.
6th	8 6th (8) (80/1 +0%) Queue Dos	80 80/1(+0%)	(8) Queue Dos 80/1, 28/1, third of 8 in maiden (28/1) at Bath (5.7f, firm) on debut 5 days ago, late headway after slow start. Should do better but this is a big jump in class. Bath debut was promising but highly questionable whether she's up to this level.
7th	10 7th (10) (50/1 -317%) Sunshine State	50 50/1(-317%)	(10) Sunshine State 50/1, Overcame unfavourable circumstances to make a winning debut at Chelmsford (6f) 9 days ago, quickening well once she got the hang of things to get up near the line. Looks sure to progress. Did well to win over 6f at Chelmsford from where she was positioned turning for home.
8th	3 8th (3) (100/1 -733%) Havana Gila	100 100/1(-733%)	(3) Havana Gila 100/1, Left her Kempton AW debut behind when landing a 5f York novice 23 days later. The return to 6f will suit and she looks capable of better again. It was over 5f when off the mark at York but should have no trouble returning to 6f.
9th	12 9th (12) (100/1 -2122%) Teej A	100 100/1(-2122%)	(12) Teej A 100/1, Mehmas filly who has progressed well, winning over 6f at Chester (maiden) and Epsom (conditions race, soft ground) in May. The Epsom form has taken a couple of knocks this week but she still appeals as one who can go on to better things. Big player. Beat the Coventry winner at Chester and duly followed up in the Woodcote; good form claims.
10th	7 10th (7) (80/1 -471%) Pouting	80 80/1(-471%)	(7) Pouting 80/1, Cost £150,000 at the breeze-ups and has shown plenty of promise when runner-up in maiden/novice events at Windsor, latterly beaten 1¾ lengths by the reopposing Celandine. Met a bit of trouble on that occasion and remains capable of better. Put in her place by Celandine latest; may have her work cut out to reverse those placings.
11th	13 11th (13) (100/1 -203%) Tequila Rose	100 100/1(-203%)	(13) Tequila Rose 100/1, Second on 5f Catterick debut before going one better at Brighton (6f) 4 weeks later. The form is only modest, though. It was by no means a strong race in which she justified odds-on favouritism at Brighton.
12th	5 12th (5) (100/1 -400%) Miss Nifty	100 100/1(-400%)	(5) Miss Nifty 100/1, Sprung a 25/1 surprise on her 6f Brighton debut 11 days, green early but running on well to lead close home. More to come but a big chunk of improvement will be needed if she's to make it 2-2 here. Winning debut but that form is well beneath what some in here have achieved.

The Woodcote form has taken a couple of knocks since Oaks day at Epsom but Teej A won it with something in hand and could still rise to this latest challenge. However, with eight other last-time-out winners in opposition, there is deep potential here. TALES OF THE HEART, who cost 400,000gns as a yearling, appeals most after making a striking impression with a nice turn of foot to score on debut at Kempton. It Ain't Two, Celandine and Santa Savana are other progressive types to consider.

TALES OF THE HEART looked a useful prospect when striking on her Kempton debut earlier this month and can provide Ralph Beckett with a third win in this listed contest since 2020. Teej A's Epsom form took a couple of knocks earlier in the week but Karl Burke's filly is still feared most ahead of Arabian Dusk.

It goes against the grain to trust a maiden at this level but the Crisfords are willing to take the plunge with ARABIAN DUSK.

In the right hands. Steps up to six here and Ryan Moore keeps the faith; should be a leading contender.
2	3 2nd (3) (10/1 -33%) California Dreamer	10 10/1(-33%)	(3) California Dreamer 10/1, Promising individual. 20/1, 4 lengths fifth of 16 to Fairy Godmother in Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) 8 days ago, perhaps a shade better than the result too. The one to beat. Two good runs behind Fairy Godmother at Naas and Ascot; one of the standard setters here.

4	2 4th (2) (11/1 -29%) Barnavara	11 11/1(-29%)	(2) Barnavara 11/1, Twice-raced winner. C&D winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. 2¾ lengths fourth of 6 to Fairy Godmother in Fillies' Sprint Stakes (3/1) at Naas (5.9f, good to firm) 41 days ago. Enters calculations.

Can build on that. Should be capable of above-average improvement from Fairyhouse but will need that and more.
9th	1 9th (1) (5/1 +23%) American Bar	5 5/1(+23%)	(1) American Bar 5/1, Won 7-runner maiden at Listowel (6.3f, good, 13/8) on debut 27 days ago by ½ length from Cradle of Love, bit in hand. Bare form is ordinary but she's sure to build on that. Listowel maiden winner should be capable of any amount of improvement and go close here.

TRULY ENCHANTING needs to show more than when finishing mid-division in the Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot 10 days ago but it is hoped that stepping up in distance will help greatly. She seemed outpaced at halfway when scoring impressively on soft ground on her Tipperary debut last month and having been well beaten in the fast-ground, five-furlongs contest at Ascot, today's longer distance could suit much better. American Bar overcame greenness and a slow start when winning at Listowel, with the eye-catching fourth-placed filly winning on Wednesday. Today's race is much stronger but she will be much more streetwise. California Dreamer finished fifth in the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot and holds Cradle Of Love and Barnavara on form.

CALIFORNIA DREAMER probably exceeded expectations when fifth in the Albany last week and it can be argued she was a shade better than the result, to boot. In the hope this doesn't come too soon, she looks the way to go, for all there are plenty of promising rivals in opposition, notably American Bar and January.

This could go though to the unexposed AMERICAN BAR, who was very green in winning at Listowel and looks capable of lots of improvement

3	6 3rd (6) (450/1 -9900%) Frankelian	450 450/1(-9900%)	(6) Frankelian 450/1, Fair form in trio of 1m maidens during second half of last season and improved for step up in trip/switch to handicaps when third of 10 on return at Salisbury (9.9f) earlier this month. Bred to be a fair bit better than her opening mark and likely she can do better. Up in trip. Eyecatching third in a Salisbury handicap and she's open to more progress upped to 1m4f.
4	3 4th (3) (350/1 -3400%) Percy Jones	350 350/1(-3400%)	(3) Percy Jones 350/1, Ran well on a couple of occasions here last term prior to adding to his tally at Wolverhampton (14f) in August. Returned to action in good heart, seeming to just find a better treated pair too strong over 15.9f here 2 weeks ago. May have to settle for a minor role again. Placed here (2m) last time but he's now 0-13 on turf and needs to find more back in trip.
5th	1 5th (1) (350/1 -3082%) Selwan	350 350/1(-3082%)	(1) Selwan 350/1, 3-time winner in France before proving very disappointing on these shore last year. More encouraging signs for new yard in recent months, not ideally placed when fourth in handicap at Kempton (12f) 24 days ago. Mark has eased a little more and he's one to keep an eye on. On reduced mark but he's 0-8 in Britain and needs to raise his game on this drop in grade.
6th	2 6th (2) (125/1 -3025%) Melek Alreeh	125 125/1(-3025%)	(2) Melek Alreeh 125/1, Had an underwhelming 4-y-o campaign but eased in weights and built on reappearance promise when successful in 7-runner Southwell handicap (12f) in March. Struggled up in class on sole start since at Haydock (11.8f) 3 weeks ago but this drop in grade rates a plus. Won at Southwell in March but was laboured after a slow start at Haydock last time.
7th	7 7th (7) (400/1 -1718%) Busby	400 400/1(-1718%)	(7) Busby 400/1, In good order on all-weather earlier this year but he's ran poorly on each of his last 2 starts since returning to turf and percentage call to look elsewhere now tackling this longer trip. All ten wins on AW and he's struggled back on turf last twice; opposable at new trip.

FRANKELIAN shaped as if this extra yardage would suit when third on her handicap bow over 1m2f at Salisbury earlier this month, and this Frankel filly can offer a bold bid off an unchanged mark. Ralph Beckett's charge should still be improving and this could be the time to catch her. Open Secret has been knocking on the door so far this term and he can feature once more, while Bur Dubai is also respected.

Having chased home a subsequent winner on his penultimate start, BUR DUBAI seemed to find the drop back in trip against him when third at Hamilton earlier this month and with the return to this stiffer test likely in his favour, he can prove his mark a workable one. Frankelian improved when third on handicap debut at Salisbury and can do better again now her stamina is tested further. Open Secret is another fancied to feature.

An interesting race in which Raplh Beckett's filly FRANKELIAN gets the vote ahead of Open Secret and Bur Dubai.

Won on AW at Dundalk then followed up in the Chester Plate; unexposed at staying trips.
2	14 2nd (14) (25/1 -25%) Show No Fear	25 25/1(-25%)	(14) Show No Fear 25/1, C&D winner. 2 wins from 4 runs this year. 17/2, faded from 2 out and pulled up in handicap hurdle at Cartmel (22.1f, good to soft) 33 days ago. Not discounted. Gained his Flat wins in Class 6 and weak Class 5; something to prove in this grade.

Respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Catterick (13.9f, good to firm, 7/2) 21 days ago. Enters calculations. Favourably handicapped and has rising star Billy Loughnane up for first time.

Fairly useful on the Flat, so can't be ruled out. Fourth off 2lb higher in this race 12 months ago; holds weak claims on 2024 Flat form.

Creditable third of 12 in handicap (11/1) at Hamilton (13.1f, good to firm) 27 days ago, very slowly away. Back up in trip. Unreliable individual. On a long losing run but ran well (close third off 6lb higher) in this race last year.

Needs considering back in this sphere with James Doyle now up. Close second over hurdles this month; interesting with James Doyle a very positive booking.
8th	2 8th (2) (350/1 -2088%) Single	350 350/1(-2088%)	(2) Single 350/1, 1 win from 2 runs this year. Latest win at Nottingham in June. Creditable fifth of 7 in handicap (7/2) at Newmarket (14f, good to firm) 7 days ago. Much respected under a 5 lb penalty on her tapeta debut. Faces a tough task under 5lb penalty for Nottingham win; not seen on AW since 2021.
9th	9 9th (9) (200/1 -2122%) Zimmerman	200 200/1(-2122%)	(9) Zimmerman 200/1, Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap (9/2) at Chester (15.9f, heavy) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and in the picture. May benefit from the return of cheekpieces; possibilities off a workable mark.
10th	6 10th (6) (450/1 -3650%) Chillhi	450 450/1(-3650%)	(6) Chillhi 450/1, Course winner. 28/1, respectable eighth of 18 in handicap at York (11.8f, soft) 14 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. This new trip is worth exploring; suited by Newcastle; could go well off a workable mark.
11th	13 11th (13) (250/1 -1983%) Marbuzet	250 250/1(-1983%)	(13) Marbuzet 250/1, Dual winner over staying trips last term who has recorded good efforts to make the frame of late, fourth of 15 at Thirsk (14f) 13 days ago. Likely to be in the shake-up again. Consistent on turf; frame possibilities, provided he remains in same form back on AW.
12th	8 12th (8) (300/1 -1400%) Haveyoumissedme	300 300/1(-1400%)	(8) Haveyoumissedme 300/1, C&D winner. 11/1, tenth of 13 in handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, good to soft) 69 days ago. Significantly up in trip and no surprise to see him get back on track. Has form figures of 212 over C&D, including a creditable effort in this race in 2022.
13th	11 13th (11) (350/1 -600%) Green Team	350 350/1(-600%)	(11) Green Team 350/1, Twelfth of 18 in handicap at York (11.8f, soft, 66/1) 14 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. Far from consistent for current yard; three duck eggs this term; not solid.

MARBUZET has been running consistently well of late and this looks a good opportunity to go close off a mark that appears exploitable. Tim Easterby's charge has been eased 1lb by the handicapper after being beaten just under three lengths when fourth over 1m6f at Thirsk last time and that could work the oracle today. The hat-trick seeking Alphonse Le Grande is feared most after a ready success in the Chester Plate last month but an 8lb hike may be difficult to defy, while Faylaq shouldn't be far away.

ALPHONSE LE GRANDE looked a stayer firmly on the up when quickening clear in a 2m handicap at the Chester Cup meeting and an 8 lb rise in the weights might not prove sufficient to prevent this Irish challenger from following up. Tim Easterby's bang in-form Marbuzet appeals as the one to give him most to do, although the selection's stablemate Belgoprince is another who commands plenty of respect. Course-scorer Chillhi completes the shortlist in the Plate consolation event.

Chester Plate winner ALPHONSE LE GRANDE (nap) is taken to bag another consolation prize. Stablemate Belgoprince is second choice.

Shaped a good deal better than the result on debut and can find enough improvement to open his account. Raced a bit too freely but still made very promising debut when fourth of 12 at Salisbury.
2	1 2nd (1) (16/1 -433%) Dubai Bling	16 16/1(-433%)	(1) Dubai Bling 16/1, Won 15-runner minor event at Haydock (6f, good, 33/1) on debut 23 days ago, just holding on.

Step up in trip should suit and he's not one to rule out with the potential for better still. Bettered low-key debut when fifth at Sandown; can improve again over this extra furlong.

DUBAI BLING made a mockery of his 33/1 SP when making a successful beginning to his career at Haydock, and the second and fourth have since run well behind a promising youngster at York. Hugo Palmer's Dark Angel colt can defy his penalty, although it won't be easy because Berkshire Kameo has shown more than a modicum of ability at Goodwood and Newbury. Art Market improved between his first two appearances, while Sands Of Marra's Salisbury fourth suggested there are races to be won with him. Newcomers Qaaeadd and Wheels Of Fire made six figures at the sales.

SANDS OF MARRA shaped like a likely next-time-out winner when a promising fourth at Salisbury earlier in the month and he gets the nod ahead of Dubai Bling, who shoulders a penalty for his comfortable debut success at Haydock. Berkshire Kameo is another player and Qaaeadd looks the most interesting newcomer.

Hugo Palmer's DUBAI BLING looked useful when winning narrowly at Haydock and might be good enough to overcome a penalty here.

Sure to be on the premises again. Accounted for Aimeric in Goodwood Listed latest; leading claims despite 3lb penalty.
2	3 2nd (3) (11/2 -38%) Aimeric	5.5 11/2(-38%)	(3) Aimeric 11/2, Bookended last season with a pair of wins and, after 8 months off, proved better than ever when scoring at Lingfield (11.6f) in May. Good effort when 2¾ lengths second to King of Conquest in listed race at Goodwood (12f, good to firm) earlier this month and is now 3 lb better of with that rival.

However, wasn't able to match that last year and has fared no better in blinkers both outings this season, not really looking up for a scrap at Goodwood (12f) earlier in the month. Very smart at 3 but below that level since, including behind two of these latest.

Matched that in a first-time hood without it getting to the bottom of her after 5 months off when fourth at Ayr (10f, good to firm) last month and this step up in trip looks sure to suit. Low mileage; improved again when fourth in 1m2f Listed on return; should stay 1m4f.

Found another chunk of improvements when bolting up at York (11.8f, good) since, so is one to keep on the right side of. Has readily made all in two handicaps for new yard; well worth place in higher grade.
6th	1 6th (1) (100/1 -1329%) Kemari	100 100/1(-1329%)	(1) Kemari 100/1, First win since the 2021 Queen's Vase when seeing off 4 rivals in this corresponding event 12 months ago. Failed badly to back that up 6 weeks later in Geoffrey Freer Stakes at Newbury (13.3f, good) and not seen since. Yard also saddle King of Conquest so a watching brief is advised on return. Second and first in last two runnings off this but off 315 days and Buick looks elsewhere.

KING OF CONQUEST was comprehensive in holding runner-up Aimeric when they clashed in the Tapster Stakes and is hard to see past as he bids to follow up that Listed success, while granting Charlie Appleby a third consecutive winner of this race in the process. His Goodwood rival again rates the chief danger, although Kemari, who won this 12 months ago, is not to be underestimated. Crystal Delight is 2-2 for Harry Eustace, but has more on at this level.

Charlie Appleby's quiet start to the season has been well publicised (had only 6 Royal Ascot runners) but KING OF CONQUEST could provide just the tonic for Moulton Paddocks stable. He was back to his very best when accounting for Aimeric at Goodwood earlier this month and can confirm his superiority with that rival despite being 3 lb worse off. Crystal Delight has found a chunk of improvement since joining Harry Eustace, so he rounds off the shortlist stepping up in grade.

Godolphin's KING OF CONQUEST can confirm recent Goodwood superiority over Aimeric despite having to concede him 3lb this time.

JAN BRUEGHEL won impressively on his debut over today's C&D last month, is a well-bred brother to Irish Derby winner Sovereign and has many big-race entries. The form of that maiden success is far from outstanding and he started a largely unsupported 7/2 shot, but won in the manner of a potentially high-class type and should progress with racing. Bolster has progressed very well in handicaps recently and while he is the top adjusted-rated runner, he was previously well beaten in his sole stakes start. Wendla defeated the subsequent Irish 1,000 Guineas fourth to win a Group 3 last month and faces a slightly stiffer task today, as she also steps up to this distance for the first time.

JAN BRUEGHEL is bred in the purple and looked potentially smart when forging clear to make a winning debut in a 10-runner C&D maiden 5 weeks ago. Well worth his place at this higher level, he's very much of interest with the prospect of more to come. Bolster has taken his form up a notch for his new stable this term and is feared in his hat-trick bid. Trustyourinstinct is another to consider.

This looks the opportunity for JAN BREUGHEL to show what he is really capable of after a very impressive maiden success last month

6th	4 6th (4) (33/1 -891%) Way To Dubai	33 33/1(-891%)	(4) Way To Dubai 33/1, Looked a little rusty after 3 months off here on penultimate run but stepped up considerably and looked unlucky not to win with cheekpieces fitted (retained here) when second over 7f back here 5 weeks ago, not getting the splits when required. Needs considering back at 6f from good draw. Unlucky second over 7f here latest; up 4lb but he could be a big player again back in trip.
7th	8 7th (8) (80/1 -1233%) Regal Envoy	80 80/1(-1233%)	(8) Regal Envoy 80/1, Won twice last year and he comes here in great nick, winning handicaps at Lingfield/Salisbury (at 6f) in recent weeks. More on his plate from career-high mark/up in grade but he's clearly thriving at present. Hat-trick seeker who has taken his form to a new level recently; interesting contender.
8th	7 8th (7) (33/1 -136%) Paws For Thought	33 33/1(-136%)	(7) Paws For Thought 33/1, C&D winner who landed a quick-fire hat-trick this time last year. Has only ticked over following an encouraging return effort on AW in the spring but his mark is easing all the time at least. Cheekpieces again the headgear of choice. Triple course winner but he's been well held in last three runs; needs to raise his game.
9th	10 9th (10) (80/1 -1500%) Old Chums	80 80/1(-1500%)	(10) Old Chums 80/1, Progressive in handicaps on AW, winning twice and continued the good work on turf, ridden patiently from a wide draw and nicely on top at the line when landing a C&D handicap 2 weeks ago. Drawn much more favourably on this occasion and he looks sure to go well again. Won over C&D latest but this is tougher on this big step back up in grade; up 6lb.
10th	2 10th (2) (300/1 -809%) Last Crusader	300 300/1(-809%)	(2) Last Crusader 300/1, Smart performer at his best for Karl Burke but failed to beat a rival in a couple of start early last year and he returns to action for new stable with a good bit to prove. Has lost his way and has plenty to prove for new yard after 427 days off; visor removed.

After being only narrowly touched off over 7f at this venue last time, WAY TO DUBAI can go one better. Charlie Fellowes' runner was denied a clear run before flying late in the day on that occasion and, with more luck in running, the five-year-old can put a good draw to good use. Old Chums is feared most after a C&D success last time but he'll have to defy a 6lb rise, while Bosh is also noted.

This could well be run at a frantic pace which should play firmly to the strengths of Charlie Fellowes' WAY TO DUBAI. He looked an unlucky loser having not got the splits when required over 7f here 2 weeks ago and he can confirm his revised mark workable granted a good gallop to aim at again. Old Chums, successful over C&D latest, is a threat along with Dare To Hope. Radio Goo Goo completes the dangers.

This looks wide open but WAY TO DUBAI gets the vote ahead of Dare To Hope and hat-trick seeker Regal Envoy.

1	5 1st (5) (12/1 +0%) Onesmoothoperator	12 12/1(+0%)	(5) Onesmoothoperator 12/1, Course winner who shaped well back up in trip when second of 9 in handicap (10/1) at Southwell (16.5f) 62 days ago, conceding first run. Weighted to go close nudged up 1 lb. Running well here over 1m4f/2m and a player on that but he has a modest strike-rate.
2	15 2nd (15) (40/1 -150%) Evaluation	40 40/1(-150%)	(15) Evaluation 40/1, 4-time winner for Keith Dalgleish in 2022. Lightly raced since but he capitalised on easing mark on second start for this yard at Wolverhampton (16.5f) in April. Shouldn't be underestimated after a break. Layoff last term; got up close home at Wolverhampton (2m, AW) in April on latest outing.
3	10 3rd (10) (12/1 +0%) Duke Of Oxford	12 12/1(+0%)	(10) Duke Of Oxford 12/1, Ended 2023 with a brace of 2m Kempton wins and not seen to best effect when 11th in Chester Cup last time, set a lot to do. Can make his presence felt. Progressive on AW; fine second off this mark over C&D at the AW Championships in March.
4	7 4th (7) (66/1 -200%) Too Friendly	66 66/1(-200%)	(7) Too Friendly 66/1, Won 3 times over hurdles for current yard last summer and added to his tally back on the level at Kempton (2m) in March. Good fourth at Hamilton (13.1f) 27 days ago so very much one to consider on his tapeta debut with cheekpieces back on. Smooth 2m winner on the Kempton AW in March; has run well on turf since over 1m6f and 1m5f.
5th	6 5th (6) (50/1 -257%) True Legend	50 50/1(-257%)	(6) True Legend 50/1, Course winner who recorded a good second of 8 in handicap (10/3) at Goodwood (14f, good to firm) 35 days ago. Can give another good account. Can race freely but made a strong late bid when short-headed over 1m6f at Goodwood latest.
6th	18 6th (18) (350/1 -1300%) Forza Orta	350 350/1(-1300%)	(18) Forza Orta 350/1, Winless in 2024 but he recorded a respectable sixth of 13 in handicap at Haydock (16.2f, good to soft, 14/1) 35 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and not ruled out from an easing mark. Just 1lb higher than for York 2m win last August but below form since and makes AW debut.
7th	3 7th (3) (200/1 -1567%) Spartan Army	200 200/1(-1567%)	(3) Spartan Army 200/1, 3 wins from 5 runs this year, latest on AW at Lingfield in March. Posted another solid effort when fifth of 9 in handicap at Newbury (16.5f, good to soft, 9/2) 71 days ago so he merits consideration. Won three in a row before his creditable third at Newcastle on finals day, all over 2m.
8th	12 8th (12) (450/1 -4900%) Grand Providence	450 450/1(-4900%)	(12) Grand Providence 450/1, Scored three times in 2023 and she she posted a solid 2¼ lengths fifth of 16 to Zoffee in Chester Cup (18.6f, good to firm) 50 days ago. Much respected on her tapeta debut. Assuming she's fully effective on this surface, she could still have more to offer.
9th	9 9th (9) (150/1 -355%) Spirit Mixer	150 150/1(-355%)	(9) Spirit Mixer 150/1, Winless since 2022 but comes here in decent nick, third of 11 in handicap (13/2) at Goodwood (16f, good to firm) 20 days ago. One for the shortlist. 2nd in this in 2022; missed most of 2023; down the weights and 3rd at Goodwood latest run.
10th	4 10th (4) (350/1 -3082%) Zoffee	350 350/1(-3082%)	(4) Zoffee 350/1, Made a winning start for this yard (formerly with Olly Murphy) in 16-runner Chester Cup (18.6f, good to firm) 50 days ago. Up 4 lb but this C&D winner can't be taken lightly. Won the Vase on this card in 2022; nearly won last year's Chester Cup and won it this year.
11th	2 11th (2) (400/1 -4344%) Yashin	400 400/1(-4344%)	(2) Yashin 400/1, Arrives in good nick, 2¾ lengths third of 6 to Kyprios in Saval Beg Levmoss Stakes at Leopardstown (14f, good) 43 days ago when needing a stronger gallop. Considered on his first go on tapeta. Best form when beaten 3l in the Ebor; unraced both beyond 1m6f (may well stay) and on AW.
12th	14 12th (14) (100/1 -1567%) Trooper Bisdee	100 100/1(-1567%)	(14) Trooper Bisdee 100/1, Has continued on the up in 2024 and bids for a hat-trick after wins at Nottingham and Pontefract (18f, good). Scored with lots in hand on latter occasion so he's a major player under a 5 lb penalty. 6-9 in handicaps, well on top at Nottingham and Pontefract (last Sunday) in his two starts.
13th	19 13th (19) (300/1 -1264%) Rathgar	300 300/1(-1264%)	(19) Rathgar 300/1, Latest win at Goodwood in May. 11/2, good second of 15 in handicap at Thirsk (14f, good) 13 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. In the picture despite being 2 lb out of the handicap. Close on sole AW start; 2lb wrong but in career-best form and worth this first crack at 2m.
14th	17 14th (17) (200/1 -203%) Golden Flame	200 200/1(-203%)	(17) Golden Flame 200/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021 and off for 20 months since coming in fifth of 6 in handicap at Nottingham (14f, heavy) for Charlie & Mark Johnston. Needs to hit the ground running for his new handler. Unraced since October 2022, having left Charlie Johnston's for 8,000gns last November.
15th	16 15th (16) (150/1 -838%) Howth	150 150/1(-838%)	(16) Howth 150/1, Finally got off the mark for this yard at Wolverhampton and backed it up with a good fourth of 13 in handicap (33/1) at this C&D 92 days ago. Can go well again. Creditable 4th when upped to 2m here on AW Championships day in March last time.
16th	20 16th (20) (400/1 -700%) Artisan Dancer	400 400/1(-700%)	(20) Artisan Dancer 400/1, Course winner. 50/1, creditable third of 15 in handicap at Thirsk (14f, good) 13 days ago but more is needed from 3 lb "wrong" in the weights. Effective at this track and at 2m but he is 3lb out of the handicap and looks vulnerable.
17th	11 17th (11) (100/1 -300%) Solent Gateway	100 100/1(-300%)	(11) Solent Gateway 100/1, Back to form when scond of 13 in handicap at Haydock (16.2f, good to soft, 14/1) 35 days ago, though no match for winner. Needs to back it up now. Back down the weights and was still good enough for second at Haydock on latest start.
18th	13 18th (13) (350/1 -338%) Island Brave	350 350/1(-338%)	(13) Island Brave 350/1, C&D winner but he came in only eighth of 9 in handicap at Ayr (13.1f, good to firm, 22/1) 7 days ago. Back up in trip. Others have achieved more. 10yo; missed nearly all of last season and has not provided a persuasive case this term.
19th	1 19th (1) (400/1 -2757%) Tashkhan	400 400/1(-2757%)	(1) Tashkhan 400/1, Smart stayer who signed off for 2023 with a solid 8¼ lengths third of 11 to Double Major in Prix Royal-Oak at Longchamp (15.4f, heavy). Off 8 months but not discounted on his tapeta debut. Not proven on AW; needs to be in peak form on this first run since October.
20th	8 20th (8) (400/1 -1718%) Zealandia	400 400/1(-1718%)	(8) Zealandia 400/1, C&D winner in January. Only twelfth of 16 to Zoffee in Chester Cup (18.6f, good to firm, 28/1) 50 days ago but the sort to bounce back. Kept on well for 2m win on New Year's Day on his only run at Newcastle; big shout on that.

Fresh from landing the Ascot Stakes at the Royal meeting last week, Sir Mark Prescott aims to bag another big staying handicap with the hugely progressive TROOPER BISDEE. Typical of how the yard can get horses to continue their improvement up the handicapping ranks, the four-year-old made the cut when making it four wins from his last five starts at Pontefract on Sunday, thus giving him the 5lb penalty required to get in the line-up. The manner of that victory also suggested he would be rated a good deal higher if the handicapper had a chance to reassess him and the son of Australia commands the utmost respect. Zoffee is 4lb higher than his Chester Cup success and entitled to be in the mix, but it would be no surprise if Duke Of Oxford, who ran moderately on that occasion, were able to reverse form, especially back on the all-weather. Local trainer Brian Ellison has always wanted to win this contest and the North Yorkshire handler is represented by top-weight Tashkhan, who isn't handicapped out of things based on his Cesarewitch third, and Onesmoothoperator.

Lots with chances but Sir Mark Prescott's upwardly-mobile stayer TROOPER BISDEE had plenty in hand when going in at Pontefract last time and can complete his hat-trick under a 5 lb penalty here. James Owen's Too Friendly could emerge as the main danger now the cheekpieces go back on, although course-scorer Onesmoothoperator is also weighted to have a big say. Evaluation, Zoffee and Duke of Oxford are others who command plenty of respect in a typically ultra competitive Northumberland Plate.

Trooper Bisdee and Zoffee are second and third choices behind ZEALANDIA, who took to this track so well on New Year's Day.

1	2 1st (2) (13/8 -48%) New Chelsea	1.625 13/8(-48%)	(2) New Chelsea 13/8, Fairly useful gelding. 10/1, good second of 9 in handicap at Haydock (8.2f, good to firm) 21 days ago, no match for winner. Difficult to oppose. Still a maiden but best runs, including latest, give him a great chance on form.
2	3 2nd (3) (8/1 -191%) Stanage	8 8/1(-191%)	(3) Stanage 8/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 12/1, third of 10 in minor event at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 28 days ago. May not have reached his limit but has a bit to find with New Chelsea. Carries his head a bit high but may be getting the hang of things and worth a go at 1m.
3	6 3rd (6) (125/1 -2678%) Fior Di Bosco	125 125/1(-2678%)	(6) Fior Di Bosco 125/1, Once-raced maiden. Third of 11 in minor event (8/1) at Newbury (8f, good to firm) on debut 16 days ago. May well do better. 8-1 for valuable novice at Newbury (1m, good to firm) 16 days ago and some showed ability.

Perennial clearly has his own ideas about the game, but he proved that he possesses a decent engine when making a successful start to his career at Salisbury. He looks a smart prospect but could be up against it conceding weight all round, with STANAGE getting the vote after finishing just behind a horse who ran really well in the Britannia when third at Doncaster. New Chelsea drops out of handicap company following a good Haydock second, and Fior Di Bosco is expected to leave her distant Newbury third behind her.

Having finished second off 84 in a handicap at Haydock last time, NEW CHELSEA sets a good standard and should be able to open his account this time. Stanage is a danger if he can take another step forward and debut winner Perennial needs respecting.

It's hard to quantify the improvement which Perennial may find after his winning debut but he needs it against NEW CHELSEA.

Much respected despite conceding weight all round here. Took his 7f record to 3-4 when leading late on in Haydock Group 3 latest; should go well.

Goes up in grade but this halt-brother to the high-class miler Barney Roy looks to have more to offer. Big player. Dominated a 7f Rowley course handicap last month and bold bid likely again.
2	4 2nd (4) (4/1 +11%) Nostrum	4 4/1(+11%)	(4) Nostrum 4/1, Resumed in 2023 with a 1m listed win here but he came in last of six and looked an awkward ride too in the Mile at Sandown on his reappearance this time around. Has something to prove now. Disappointing lately but a danger to all if a gelding operation has a positive effect.
3	6 3rd (6) (25/1 -213%) Witch Hunter	25 25/1(-213%)	(6) Witch Hunter 25/1, Won the Buckingham Palace Handicap at Ascot and Group 2 Hungerford at Newbury last season. Not quite hit the same heights so far this term despite making the frame in the Lockinge and Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot. Still shortlisted. Held up; Won Group 2 over 7f last year; fourth in Royal Ascot Group 1 last week;.
4	5 4th (5) (4/1 +11%) Pogo	4 4/1(+11%)	(5) Pogo 4/1, Took this contest in 2022 and he comes here on the back of a solid 1½ lengths third of 11 to Tiber Flow in John of Gaunt Stakes at Haydock (7.2f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts. Won this in 2022 and third last year; third to Tiber Flow in Haydock Listed latest.

Yet to match that form in two turf runs since but he faced a stiff task in Newbury's Lockinge Stakes last time so possibilities. Really smart on AW but has yet to better useful form on turf; others preferred.

Noble Dynasty thumped runaway Buckingham Palace winner English Oak on the Rowley Mile last month and he is a fascinating contender back at Group 3 level, but POGO shades preference. The winner of this contest in 2022 before taking third last year, the admirable eight-year-old arrives having made the frame behind Tiber Flow in the John Of Gaunt at Haydock. The winner must shoulder a 3lb penalty now, however, and is far from certain to confirm the form. Nostrum possesses undoubted talent but he needs to bounce back from a lacklustre return in the bet365 Mile at Sandown.

Charlie Appleby's NOBLE DYNASTY takes a step up in grade here but this half-brother to the high-class miler Barney Roy looks capable of better so gets the nod in an open Criterion Stakes. John of Gaunt winner Tiber Flow rates a big threat though, while Queen Anne fourth Witch Hunter and 2022 victor Pogo can't be discounted easily either.

Nostrum could bounce back after a gelding operation but preference is for NOBLE DYNASTY.

BLUESTOCKING finished second in last year's Irish Oaks and won well on her seasonal reappearance. Frustrating to follow last year, she nonetheless produced many fine efforts in defeat, is dependable, suited by conditions and seemed better than ever at York. Emily Upjohn is top-class on her day and was unfortunate not to have won the 2022 Oaks at Epsom. A keen-goer, she won the Coronation Cup last June but her latest runs have been disappointing. She is the top adjusted-rated runner but needs to reproduce her best. Stay Alert was flattered to beat subsequent Duke Of Cambridge Stakes winner Running Lion so well at Newmarket recently, as the runner-up hung left, but finished second in this race last year.

BLUESTOCKING was most impressive when dropped back to 1¼m on her York reappearance and looks a more solid option than Emily Upjohn, who could be a cut above if back to her best but her 2 runs this season have been a long way removed from that. Stay Alert comfortably saw off last week's Royal Ascot winner Running Lion on her reappearance and looks best of the rest.

With her confidence boosted by a York win, BLUESTOCKING, winless last season, may prove the pick of a strong British challenge

4	7 4th (7) (33/1 +50%) Golden Pharaoh	33 33/1(+50%)	(7) Golden Pharaoh 33/1, Fairly useful performer at up to this trip in France who wasn't disgraced after 3 months off when ninth of 17 in handicap at York (7f, soft) on yard/UK debut 14 days ago. Entitled to be sharper here but little more needed if he's to come out on top. 2-11 in France but was down the field on British/stable debut at York; others preferred.
5th	4 5th (4) (28/1 -180%) Gunfighter	28 28/1(-180%)	(4) Gunfighter 28/1, Two AW wins last year. Consistent in handicaps this time round, good third of 9 in handicap at Haydock (1m) 21 days ago. Drop back in trip will hold no fears but he may just be vulnerable to one or two again from unchanged mark. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Fair efforts last twice but he needs to find more back at this trip; headgear on.
6th	2 6th (2) (350/1 -6900%) Blue Prince	350 350/1(-6900%)	(2) Blue Prince 350/1, Enjoyed a productive spell on the AW for this yard over the winter and has come right back to form of late tried at this sort of trip, keeping on for third of 13 in handicap at this course (7.6f, soft) 14 days ago. Should remain competitive. Placed in last three runs including here last time; dangerous if he gets some luck.
7th	3 7th (3) (300/1 -4186%) Ziggy's Condor	300 300/1(-4186%)	(3) Ziggy's Condor 300/1, Debut 6f winner who resumed from 8 months/gelded with a very good second in big field York handicap (7f) in May. Raced closer to the pace than ideal when down the field back there (6f) a couple of weeks ago and he has races in him this term. Went very close on handicap debut at York but he flopped there last time; risks attached.

There was little to separate Al Shabab Storm (second) and Blue Prince (third) when the pair met at Goodwood last month and both can play prominent roles once again, while recent Sandown scorer Sunfall merits the utmost respect. Preference, however, is for JUNGLE MAC. Jack Channon's charge wasn't beaten far by subsequent Britannia winner Mickley at Doncaster on his penultimate outing before going down by just a head at Newmarket.

A competitive 3-y-o handicap with the narrow vote in favour of JUNGLE MAC. He took a while to knuckle down when runner-up behind a less exposed rival at Newmarket last week (the pair clear) but that was still his best effort yet and the plum draw/Franny Norton in the saddle sways things in his favour. Sandown-scorer Sunfall is a chief threat from her handy draw. Al Shabab Storm and Blue Prince complete the shortlist.

The William Haggas-trained SUNFALL made it 2-4 with her clearcut win at Sandown two weeks ago and she gets the vote.

Won over 7f at Doncaster and Musselburgh this spring. 11/2, last of 9 in handicap at Chester (7f, soft) 35 days ago. Bounce back needed. Form dipped on latest turf start; unconvincing record in AW handicaps; opposed.

LOCAL HERO stepped forward from his return to action when making a successful handicap debut at Kempton earlier in the month. Hollie Doyle takes over in the saddle for the first time and she should get a good tune out of Richard Hannon's colt, who remains open to improvement on just his fifth career start. Giant wasn't at his best when sixth at Kempton last month and is entitled to bounce back to form, while the unexposed United Approach is of interest in an event which contains plenty of frontrunners on paper.

Lightly-raced 4-y-o UNITED APPROACH gets the nod to build on an encouraging comeback run at Newbury last month and take his career record to a healthy 3-5. Eldrickjones hasn't fired on turf the last twice but is much more reliable on AW and is feared most back at the scene of his win in May. Sole 3-y-o Local Hero, a good winner at Kempton last time, also makes the shortlist.

Being a 3yo who looks the type to progress further, LOCAL HERO is particularly appealing. United Approach is feared most.

Very lightly raced for age with more to offer, so makes most appeal. Four races from April 2022 to November 2023, all 1m2f and winning two; more to offer.

Had plenty in hand last time and still fairly treated on her best form. Won smoothly at Kempton (1m4f, AW) latest; turf record last two years is less convincing.

BELIEVE IN STARS made a winning reappearance last year and a chance is taken that he's primed for action once again. Sir Michael Stoute's charge finished runner-up over 1m2f in this grade in November and has lots of scope for improvement over this longer distance. Mr Alan also returns to the fray, although his best form last year came on testing ground, and To Catch A Thief is preferred having placed at Haydock last week. True Courage and Aiming High arrive on the back of victories but are both upped in class.

BELIEVE IN STARS has been patiently campaigned and strikes as the sort to have a good season if kept sound, so he's preferred to recent Thirsk winner True Courage, who still has plenty of handicapping scope based on AW form. Aiming High also merits plenty of respect in a competitive race for the numbers.

True Courage looks the standout danger but BELIEVE IN STARS (nap) can take his career record to 3-5.

Wasn't at the same level when third in similar event at Windsor 40 days ago, so she needs to resume her progress on her handicap bow. Best effort when third in Rowley Course maiden in April; handicap debut.
3	1 3rd (1) (3/1 +33%) Queen's Reign	3 3/1(+33%)	(1) Queen's Reign 3/1, Has shown much improved form sent handicapping this year, suited by the step up in trip when winning 11-runner contest at Goodwood (8f, good) last month. Scored only narrowly but she remains unexposed so could be capable of following up. Nudged up only 2lb for latest Goodwood win and probably has more to offer.

Left poorly placed when fifth of 12 in minor event at Goodwood last time, so she could yet do better as she goes handicapping.

Back down to her last winning mark so she's not written off. Won off this mark over C&D last summer and better than result on Rowley course last time.

Soft ground didn't appear to suit SURVEYOR at Sandown last month, but she ought to fare better under quicker conditions. James Fanshawe's filly chased home some smart types in maiden/novice events last year so her current mark is well within range, especially if the first-time hood helps her to settle. Goodwood scorer Queen's Reign can give another good account of herself from 2lb higher, while Aurora's Beauty is also noted.

Upped to 1m, QUEEN'S REIGN continued her progress when making her second handicap start a winning one at Goodwood last time and she can score again with the potential of further improvement to come. A pair of handicap debutantes could be the main dangers, with the well-bred Islanova feared most ahead of Mercury Day.

Ed Walker's QUEEN'S REIGN (nap) has made steady progress and is taken to defy a small rise for her Goodwood win.

BIALYSTOK hasn't run on the Flat for 1019 days but is a 140-rated hurdler who has shown pace over jumps. His champion trainer is seeking a first win in this race and while the selection hasn't run since falling at the Punchestown Festival, he had smart French Flat form some years ago and, being still just a six-year-old, should compete from his 92 rating. Scholarship is capable at this level and while well held on two recent course visits, the winner of both races subsequently won the Duke Of Edinburgh Stakes at Royal Ascot. Good Heavens notably finished second in the 2022 Irish Cambridgeshire but is long absent and, under top-weight, might prove best watched for now.

Lots with chances. BIALYSTOK has made up into a very useful hurdler for Willie Mullins and is fancied to make a winning return to this sphere on his handicap debut. Good Heavens is weighted to go well and could emerge as the main danger on his return with his yard going well. Scholarship and Set Point also need factoring into this competitive handicap.

140-rated hurdler BIALYSTOK is handicapped on his French form. The Mullins team should have a good idea of what is required here

1	3 1st (3) (14/1 -56%) Sea Grey	14 14/1(-56%)	(3) Sea Grey 14/1, Fairly useful in this sphere and bright start over hurdles for this yard, off the mark in maiden company at Catterick (19.3f) in December. Failed to build on that subsequently, running poorly at Bangor (16.6f) in May so return to the level needs to spark a revival. Disappointing since his hurdle win in December and comes with risks attached back on Flat.
2	6 2nd (6) (5/1 +29%) Tailorman	5 5/1(+29%)	(6) Tailorman 5/1, Fair form when runner-up in pair of bumpers earlier this year. Some promise on first of 3 quick-fire runs in novice/maidens in this sphere in recent weeks and not disgraced when fourth of 8 on handicap debut at Nottingham (14f) on Thursday. Little more needed here. Unexposed 4yo who wasn't beaten far at Nottingham (1m6f) on Thursday; not ruled out.
3	8 3rd (8) (25/1 +0%) Dovena	25 25/1(+0%)	(8) Dovena 25/1, Dual winner on turf for Amanda Perrett last summer and solid start for new stable when just touched off at Bath (11.6f) in September. Has yet to scale same heights in pair of outings so far this year, though. Well held in both runs this season and has questions to answer now upped to 2m.
4	1 4th (1) (16/1 -611%) Dreams Adozen	16 16/1(-611%)	(1) Dreams Adozen 16/1, 3-time winner last season, latterly with the mud flying over extended 14f here in August. Eased a little in weights in recent months and capitalised when successful back at this track (12.3f) 2 weeks ago. Versatile as regards ground/trip and she can go well again. Scored here latest but she's back on career-high mark and has never won over this far.
5th	4 5th (4) (50/1 -900%) Bulldog Spirit	50 50/1(-900%)	(4) Bulldog Spirit 50/1, Showed benefit of his reappearance/stable debut effort when second at Hamilton (11f) in May and probably did too much too soon when finishing down the field over that track/trip 4 weeks ago. Better showing anticipated for all he still needs to fully prove himself at this trip. On workable mark but he faded last time and still has stamina to prove at this trip.
6th	7 6th (7) (350/1 -1300%) Achnamara	350 350/1(-1300%)	(7) Achnamara 350/1, Winless since 2022 and comes here out of sorts, again forfeiting plenty of ground at the start when well-beaten sixth of 9 to Dreams Adozen in handicap at this course (12.3f, heavy, 20/1) 14 days ago. One to treat with caution now. On long losing sequence and has struggled back on turf in last four runs.
7th	5 7th (5) (125/1 -2400%) African Star	125 125/1(-2400%)	(5) African Star 125/1, Lingfield maiden winner (at 11.6f, turf) who made the frame in a couple of staying handicaps on AW for Sylvester Kirk around the turn of the year. Shaped as if needing his respective return for new stable at Lingfield (15.7f, AW) in May and entitled to be sharper now. May have needed the run on his stable debut and has possibilities back in trip.
8th	2 8th (2) (250/1 -9900%) Clan Chieftain	250 250/1(-9900%)	(2) Clan Chieftain 250/1, Low-mileage 4-y-o who stepped up plenty with a reappearance run under his belt when second of 8 in handicap at Salisbury (14.2f) 5 weeks ago. Appeals as being on a workable mark if he can build on that now his stamina is tested further. Back to form with promising second at Salisbury and 2m looks worth exploring; interesting.

Withdrawn twice on account of the ground recently, CLAN CHIEFTAIN gets his ideal conditions here and is taken to come out on top. The son of Gleaneagles appeared to be crying out for a step up in trip when finishing a creditable second over 1m6f at Salisbury last time. Dreams Adozen kept on gamely to score over an extended 1m4f here a fortnight ago and she is respected up 4lb, while African Star appeals most of the remainder.

CLAN CHIEFTAIN took a firm step back in the right direction back on a sounder surface when runner-up at Salisbury (14.2f) 5 weeks ago, and with untapped potential at this sort of trip, he earns the vote to build on that and prove his mark a workable one. The versatile and very likeable Dreams Adozen, who scored over shorter here recently, and Bulldog Spirit are also considered.

This can go to CLAN CHIEFTAIN (nap), who finished well at Salisbury last time and ls on the same mark on this step up to 2m.

Down in trip. Leading form claims. Placed over 6.5f and 7f on turf; not crying out for 5f but has a good chance on form.

Brother to useful winner up to 6f Salvuccio and closely related to smart winner up to 6f Significantly. Dam 2-y-o 5f/6f winner.

INVITED has achieved a decent level of form on both starts to date and the drop to 5f may see him in a better light after his runner-up display at Newmarket last Saturday. Ardennes has to give 5lb and upwards away following his Salisbury win earlier in the month but he has to be high on the shortlist. Others to consider include Dutch Finale and Death Or Glory.

INVITED has shown promise to be placed on both his runs thus far so Richard Hannon's son of Kodiac is fancied to gain a first success at the chief expense of Salisbury-scorer Ardennes who could find the concession of 5lb just too much. George Boughey's debutant Dutch Finale appeals on paper and could also have a say, especially if the market vibes are positive.

Preference is for very interesting newcomer DUTCH FINALE who has strong credentials. Loudan is second choice.

Chance on old form. Engaged 4.40 Yarmouth Friday. Slowly away lately; threatened over 2f out at Yarmouth Friday; others look more convincing.
1	1 1st (1) (9/1 +18%) Havana Pusey	9 9/1(+18%)	(1) Havana Pusey 9/1, 10/1, respectable seventh of 13 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, good) 24 days ago. On a fair mark and should strip fitter for reappearance. Nottingham maiden win last summer; sharper for her reappearace; still low mileage.
2	5 2nd (5) (10/1 -150%) Coup De Force	10 10/1(-150%)	(5) Coup De Force 10/1, 5/1, creditable third of 13 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 35 days ago. Merits respect. Two good placed efforts over C&D last month; drawn widest but should remain competitive.
3	6 3rd (6) (25/1 -285%) Northcliff	25 25/1(-285%)	(6) Northcliff 25/1, 3 wins from 8 runs this year. Latest win at Ascot in May. 10/1, bit below form ninth of 18 in handicap at York (7f, good) 35 days ago. Return to this trip is in his favour, so he could get back on the up. Three wins this year and his Ascot success (6f, good) last month reads well; strong claims.
4	7 4th (7) (22/1 -144%) The Coffee Pod	22 22/1(-144%)	(7) The Coffee Pod 22/1, 9/2, third of 4 in handicap at Goodwood (5f, good) 8 days ago. Back up in trip. Well treated on his best efforts and can't be dismissed. Should be winning races off his reduced mark but he's looked hard work on occasions; risky.
5th	8 5th (8) (18/1 -157%) Lady Dreamer	18 18/1(-157%)	(8) Lady Dreamer 18/1, C&D winner. 16/1, bit below form seventh of 14 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 12 days ago, met some trouble. Others more persuasive. C&D winner; good C&D effort last month but needs to bounce back from two lesser runs since.
6th	2 6th (2) (125/1 -1150%) Spring Bloom	125 125/1(-1150%)	(2) Spring Bloom 125/1, Course winner. 12/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Goodwood (5f, good) 36 days ago. Back up in trip. Not ruled out. Two course wins at 5f but 0-15 over 6f; handicap mark tumbling; down in class this time.
7th	4 7th (4) (100/1 -2400%) Clipsham La Habana	100 100/1(-2400%)	(4) Clipsham La Habana 100/1, 9/2 and blinkered for 1st time, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f). Off 93 days. First run for yard after leaving Kevin Philippart De Foy. Cheekpieces on 1st time. One to consider. Expensive to follow since his 2yo days but he starts out for a new yard off a lowly mark.
8th	9 8th (9) (50/1 -1567%) The Amazon	50 50/1(-1567%)	(9) The Amazon 50/1, C&D winner in April. Last of 15 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good to soft, 11/10) 35 days ago, possibly amiss. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Shortlist material. Bolted up over C&D in April but dismal run when favourite at Haydock; now gets cheekpieces.

NORTHCLIFF faded in the closing stages over 7f at York last time, but gets another chance having earlier landed a double over today's distance. He beat a subsequent winner when successful at Ascot in May and this looks less competitive. Coup De Force has placed over C&D in both outings so far this year and is another to consider, while The Coffee Pod has slipped down the ratings and posted a better effort over the minimum trip at Goodwood last week.

THE AMAZON wasn't right at Haydock last time but won a C&D novice in impressive fashion prior to that and is worth another chance to show that a mark of 75 underestimates him. Clipsham La Habana is an obvious danger starting out for a new yard and Northcliff can get back on track returned to sprinting.

The Amazon has the potential to make a mockery of his mark but NORTHCLIFF's Ascot win last month represents strong handicap form.

Has had a break and, while mark demands improvement, she's still unexposed. Bit to prove after Lingfield Oaks Trial (28-1) but, like all of these, she is not exposed.
1	2 1st (2) (17/2 -6%) Mrs Twig	8.5 17/2(-6%)	(2) Mrs Twig 17/2, Got back on the up when landing an 8-runner event at Kempton in emphatic fashion a month ago. More required but the runner-up has given that form a solid look and she's not one to rule out. 1m3f and 1m4f wins on Kempton AW; not so potent front-running at Newbury in between.
2	5 2nd (5) (4/1 +0%) Alhattan	4 4/1(+0%)	(5) Alhattan 4/1, Promising individual who opened her account at Newcastle in January. Best effort to date when a narrow second at Salisbury last time and shapes like she'll get this trip, so one to consider. Short-headed in handicap at Salisbury (1m2f, good to firm) and 1m4f looks well worth a go.
3	3 3rd (3) (13/2 -189%) Precious Jewel	6.5 13/2(-189%)	(3) Precious Jewel 13/2, Confirmed debut promise when winning 6-runner novice event at Rowley course in May. That form has been boosted since and the drop in trip was against her last time, so worth a chance to get back on the up. Newmarket 1m4f win second start; lightly raced, well-bred filly could have more to offer.
4	4 4th (4) (100/1 -4344%) Candle Of Dubai	100 100/1(-4344%)	(4) Candle Of Dubai 100/1, Promising start to career when runner-up first 2 starts and responded well to an attacking ride when opening her account in a Chelmsford novice (1¼m) 23 days ago. This tougher now handicapping but she's going the right way and looks sure to be suited by this increase in trip. There's stamina in the family and 1m4f for this handicap debut looks interesting.

Won debut here (good to firm) last August; fourth of five in 1m2f Listed event at Newbury.

Cases can be made for all of these but none more so than CANDLE OF DUBAI, who got off the mark in a novice event over 1m2f at Chelmsford last time. The daughter of Zoffany could improve further now switched to handicaps and a mark of 81 should be workable. Precious Jewel was behind the selection when last seen but might get closer on 4lb better terms, while Alhattan and Mrs Twig are best of the rest.

The form of PRECIOUS JEWEL's win in May looks strong and she shaped as if still in good order dropped in trip next time. Back to 1m4f for her handicap debut, she is worth a chance to get the better of Candle of Dubai, who arrives on the up. Alhattan is also of interest.

This is an unexposed field but the three to concentrate on could be CANDLE OF DUBAI, Alhattan and Precious Jewel.

GALEN finished second to City Of Troy on his debut on last year's Derby weekend and should benefit from his course reappearance run last month, having again shown smart form. A flashy type, it was mildly disappointing he failed to win here last month but was beaten by a race-fit rival and the well-held third-placed horse has scored easily subsequently. Lucky Out and barrier trial winner Lucky Melody are closely matched on recent Leopardstown form, with the latter shaping as though she would improve considerably at a longer distance. Next Trick faces a stiffer task than when finishing second at Gowran recently.

This looks like a good opportunity for GALEN, who chased home none other than City of Troy on his sole 2-y-o start in a maiden here and he looked in need of the run when again finding just one too good at this course last month. Lucky Melody shaped well on her introduction at Leopardstown and she is second choice ahead of Next Trick and Lucky Out.

Runner-up to City Of Troy on his only start at two, GALEN can collect on his third attempt following another C&D second on return

BOBBY BENNU impressed with a second-placed finish behind a now 88-rated filly on debut at Kempton 24 days ago and, with switching to turf logical, the Roger Varian-trained gelding is readily suggested as the one to be with. Upscale also ran a highly-rated type close at Haydock on her latest start and rates a key player on that form. Warrior's Dance can beat Little Miss India for third.

There was plenty to like about BOBBY BENNU's opening second at Haydock and he's narrowly preferred to Juddmonte filly Upscale.

Upscale sets a good standard but preference is for BOBBY BENNU, who showed plenty of promise with his debut second at Kempton.

This can go the way of FORCEFUL SPEED, who returned from a 62-day break to score comfortably over 1m4f at Pontefract last Sunday. Runner-up on his only previous attempt over this C&D, George Boughey's charge should be able to overcome a 5lb penalty and he gets the vote ahead of City Streak, who had been in excellent form prior to a disappointing effort at Epsom last month. A taking winner over C&D on his first start for new connections, Sea Legend must enter calculations off a 6lb higher mark, along with the capable Lord Protector.

SEA LEGEND had a bit to spare when making a winning start for the James Fanshawe yard over C&D last month and can defy a 6 lb rise. Second choice is Bystander, who had soft ground as an excuse for his disappointing run last time and can resume his progression back on AW. Recent Pontefract scorer Forceful Speed also makes the shortlist.

The most interesting runner is SEA LEGEND who looked way ahead of his mark here last month and a 6lb rise might not stop him.

Fair on the Flat, shaping quite nicely in a deeper race than this at Southwell in April. Last won two years ago over hurdles and her only Flat win (14 attempts) was in 2021.

Progressing well recently and pedigree offers hope she'll stay further. Tight with Lia Rose judged on 1m2f clash here but bred to be suited by at least this far.

ALLONSY has finished in the mix in all three starts since returning to action, including when a short-head second over C&D in April, and she's taken to go one better with cheekpieces applied on her return to this venue. Runner-up Lia Rose and Glimpse The Moon filled the places over 1m2f here last time. The latter was making her handicap debut on that occasion and is fancied to reverse running over this extra distance.

Cheekpieces may help ALLONSY who has to be of major interest as an unexposed 3-y-o for a top yard. Lia Rose should be suited by this trip and is feared most, with She's A Novelty also considered.

She's A Novelty and Allonsy are in serious calculations but may prove vulnerable to LIA ROSE and Glimpse The Moon.

1	6 1st (6) (28/1 -12%) Bint Al Daar	28 28/1(-12%)	(6) Bint Al Daar 28/1, Bagged handicaps over a mile here last summer and added to her tally on the AW in November. However, she hasn't made much of an impact in 2 starts since returning to action last month. 1m course winner last August but well held on both starts this year.
2	7 2nd (7) (9/2 -64%) Mafnood	4.5 9/2(-64%)	(7) Mafnood 9/2, Winner of 1m Haydock novice as a 2-y-o and returned with solid place efforts upped to 1¼m on first 2 starts of this season. Rather one-paced in first-time blinkers (on again here) at Sandown a fortnight ago but he didn't enjoy the best of runs that day and is certainly one to consider. Better than result in blinkers latest; interesting taking on older opposition.
3	3 3rd (3) (9/1 -125%) Majestic	9 9/1(-125%)	(3) Majestic 9/1, Winless since landing the 2022 Cambridgeshire but has largely acquitted himself well since, including on all but one of his 4 starts this season. Best work at the finish when third at Sandown (1¼m, good) recently and he's a strong candidate off the same mark. Generally consistent 6yo who bounced back from rare below par run when third latest.
4	2 4th (2) (33/1 -1000%) Elegancia	33 33/1(-1000%)	(2) Elegancia 33/1, Useful dual winner over this trip last year, latterly a fast-ground Ascot handicap in September. Out of her depth on last 3 starts in Group/listed company but this is a more realistic assignment and it wouldn't be the biggest of surprises if she were to get back on track. Two 1m2f wins last year; remote fourth in Group 3 on return and this more realistic.
5th	4 5th (4) (14/1 -133%) Qitaal	14 14/1(-133%)	(4) Qitaal 14/1, Rejoined former yard for just 4,000 gns following sole outing for Ken Condon in 2022 but proved that his ability remains intact when landing a Doncaster handicap (1¼m, soft) following a lengthy absence in March. Decent effort at York last time and he'll be dangerous if allowed a soft lead. This looks less competitive than the York race he was fifth in last time; not discounted.
6th	5 6th (5) (10/1 -67%) Sniper's Eye	10 10/1(-67%)	(5) Sniper's Eye 10/1, Opened his account in straightforward fashion when landing a 10-runner minor event at Southwell (1m) in September. Should come on for his encouraging belated reappearance over this trip in a first-tim hood (retained) at Chelmsford 9 days ago and he needs taking seriously. Entitled to come on for recent return and he was placed over C&D last June.
7th	1 7th (1) (100/1 -1438%) Machete	100 100/1(-1438%)	(1) Machete 100/1, Winner of just one of his 15 starts on turf for Fabrice Chappet in France but shaped well on debut for this yard when fourth of 10 in the Zetland Gold Cup at Redcar (1¼m, soft) last month. Best to draw a line through subsequent York run and should give a good account, provided he handles conditions. Promising start for this yard at Redcar (soft) and excuses at York since.

ELEGANCIA has been struggling in higher grades since she won her sole previous handicap start at Ascot last September. The daughter of Lope De Vega accounted for a decent field that day and merits plenty of respect off just a 4lb higher mark. Majestic is a consistent performer who is likely to be in the mix once again. Mafnood and Qitaal complete the shortlist.

There's a good chance that QITAAL will be allowed his own way out in front and he could prove hard to peg back with Oisin Murphy in the hot-seat. Mafnood didn't get the rub of the green at Sandown and is feared most ahead of Sniper's Eye and Majestic, both of whom need a strong pace to aim at, which is far from assured in this contest. Elegancia may well resume her progress now back in handicap company, so she needs a second look, too.

Sole 3yo MAFNOOD might prove the answer to this finale. Elegancia is second choice.

Dam, 2-y-o 7f winner who stayed 10.5f, sister to 2000 Guineas/Irish 2000 Guineas winner Gleneagles. Lots to like on paper and confidence behind him in the betting would look highly significant. Dam a Group 2 winner and a half-sister to four Group 1 winners, stands out on pedigree.
1	1 1st (1) (6/5 +47%) Arnaman	1.2 6/5(+47%)	(1) Arnaman 6/5, Once-raced gelding. 100/1, second of 13 in maiden at Dundalk (7f) on debut. Off 99 days. First run for yard after leaving M. G. Quinn and tongue strap on 1st time. Should improve. Plenty of merit in his Dundalk debut for a small yard, could go close for Ken Condon now.
2	2 2nd (2) (11/4 +45%) Emerald Eclipse	2.75 11/4(+45%)	(2) Emerald Eclipse 11/4, Lightly-raced colt. 10/3, seventh of 10 in handicap at Limerick (7f, good) 7 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Yard also saddles Izzari. Boasts fair form in maidens, doubts raised by two disappointing runs in handicaps.

JOHN STEINBECK's pedigree reads very well and he could be smart. His Group 2-winning dam is a sister to four Group 1 winners, including dual Classic winner Gleneagles, and while he makes a belated debut, he does so on a big weekend and Ryan Moore takes the ride. Arnaman ran a notable race on debut in March and has since changed hands. At Dundalk he started a 100/1 shot and chased home last year's Debutante Stakes runner-up Sakti, while the third-placed horse won a maiden subsequently. He has been gelded since and now runs in a first-time tongue-tie. Emerald Eclipse has shown some useful form but is rated just 73 and needs to improve to win.

If he turns out to be half as good as he's bred to be, JOHN STEINBECK will have little trouble in making a winning debut in this maiden. It will be an ominous sign for this rivals if he's strong in the betting. Arnaman performed well above market expectations when runner-up at Dundalk in March and, with improvement likely starting out for new connections, he gets the nod ahead of Emerald Eclipse for forecast purposes.

Superbly-bred newcomer JOHN STEINBECK should be good enough, though Arnaman showed distinct promise on his debut at Dundalk

Had plenty in hand on latter occasion so a big player despite taking a 6 lb rise. Record of 3212211 and her latest win was by 4l Pontefract; big player again up 4lb.
2	3 2nd (3) (13/2 +7%) Karmology	6.5 13/2(+7%)	(3) Karmology 13/2, A dual 1m scorer at 2yrs and she returned from 6 months off with a promising third of 8 in handicap at Ripon (9.8f, heavy) 72 days ago, fading only last 1f.

This strong traveller looks to have more to offer now going into handicaps. Very much one to consider. Carlisle winner and she's respected on handicap debut; yard won this in 2019 and 2022.

No forlorn hope on her handicap debut. Group 3 win in Germany last summer but looks fairly exposed now and others are preferred.

Came in last of nine on her handicap bow at Southwell (1m) in April but she's well worth another chance. Unexposed filly but she made a low-key start in handicaps at Southwell; bit to prove.

The hat-trick seeking ESMERAY represents an in-form yard and, reunited with Rob Hornby, the daughter of Sea The Moon can expand on her winning sequence despite going up 6lb for her cosy win at Pontefract 19 days ago. Fellow last-time-out winner Loughville rates the chief danger even though she is 10lb higher for winning at Wetherby. Ripon third Karmology is a potential improver second time up this year.

None of these can be ruled out but the vote goes to Ralph Beckett's upwardly-mobile filly ESMERAY who can defy a 6 lb weights rise and bag a quick hat-trick. Facile Wetherby scorer Loughville rates a big danger though with more to come too, while Karmology, Haya and Giudecca can all build on previous efforts and also need factoring into this cracking handicap.

A fascinating race in which hat-trick seeker ESMERAY gets the vote ahead of impressive recent Wetherby winner Loughville.

Tongue strap on for first time in this code, tenth of 15 in minor event at Windsor (10f, good to firm, 66/1) 19 days ago. Potential improver up in trip.

The Jim Goldie stable has hit a fine vein of form of late and this looks like a perfect opportunity for his SOOWAIH to get back to winning ways, following a slightly unlucky runner-up effort over C&D last month when squeezed for room at the start. Shifter has yet to prove herself over this far but she has won two of her last three starts, while Baltic arrives on a four-timer. Natzor and Squeezebox are players based on the pick of their form as well.

BALTIC was awarded a very lowly mark given his pedigree and has flourished in handicaps fitted with cheekpieces, completing the hat-trick at Yarmouth. He's up 3 lb in a deeper race but may well be up to the task. Shifter and Squeezebox can offer most resistance.

Baltic has to be feared. SOOWAIH looks a solid alternative while A Gift Of Love and Parramount are other interesting types.

After being only narrowly beaten over 5f at Wolverhampton last time, this looks a good opportunity for WAKAI UMI to go one better today. Mark Loughnane's runner has been raised just 1lb for that half-length defeat and that could prove lenient. Brian The Snail rates as the biggest danger to the selection having been dropped 2lb after being beaten two and three-quarter lengths in fifth over 5f at Ripon earlier this month, while any market support for Secret Handsheikh should be noted.

BRIAN THE SNAIL is firmly into the veteran stage of his career but his reappearance will have blown the cobwebs away and he should be a big factor at this level. Wakai Umi's turf form for this yard hasn't been great but he's a danger if matching his AW run last time, with Notre Maison another to consider for her in-form yard.

This could be a good opportunity for the veteran BRIAN THE SNAIL, who shaped well in a better race than this on his seasonal debut.

6th	6 6th (6) (66/1 -1367%) Persian Phoenix	66 66/1(-1367%)	(6) Persian Phoenix 66/1, Respectable third of 6 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm, 5/2) 10 days ago. Likely to give another good account, albeit perhaps without being quite good enough. Consistent in turf handicaps this spring; Jonny Peate claims a useful 3lb today.
7th	1 7th (1) (100/1 -900%) Egoiste	100 100/1(-900%)	(1) Egoiste 100/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. Sixth of 9 in handicap (14/1) at Nottingham (8.3f, good) 27 days ago, slowly away. Looks vulnerable from a win point of view. Began year with string of good efforts but seems to have gone off the boil lately.

As expected, JAZZ SCENE took a significant step forward on his handicap debut at Hamilton last week, making his own running before showing good resolution to justify favouritism. A 5lb rise for a victory of less than a length would appear on the harsh side, but it will be surprising if there isn't a lot more in the locker. Beach Point is holding his form well, although he still needs to prove his ability to handle the all-weather. In contrast, Egoiste will relish getting back on an artificial surface.

The well-bred and unexposed JAZZ SCENE is the clear head-turner in this line-up on the back of his recent handicap debut success at Hamilton. It's likely that he will benefit from a stiffer test in time but there's good reason to believe he can do some damage kept to this trip in the meantime. Persian Phoenix is probably summed up by his current mark but he's holding his form well and, with doubts surrounding Beach Point on this surface, he could be the one for the forecast.

There is no strong temptation to oppose JAZZ SCENE, who was quite nicely in command in the closing stages of his recent handicap debut.

1	8 1st (8) (17/2 -113%) Rock Opera	8.5 17/2(-113%)	(8) Rock Opera 17/2, Bounced back to his best when second of 13 in handicap (12/1) at Nottingham (6.1f, good) 24 days ago, edged out only late on. Can make his presence felt racing off his last winning mark. Back on track when nose second at Nottingham 24 days ago; up 2lb but still shortlisted.
2	2 2nd (2) (7/2 -27%) Mythical Phoenix	3.5 7/2(-27%)	(2) Mythical Phoenix 7/2, Winner for John McConnell last year and has been shaped up well for current yard, again finding only one too strong in 10-runner handicap at Chester (6.1f, heavy, 5/2) 2 weeks ago. Enters calculations with cheekpieces added. Runner-up for third consecutive start at Chester latest; big shout nudged up 1lb.
3	1 3rd (1) (6/1 +50%) Ingra Tor	6 6/1(+50%)	(1) Ingra Tor 6/1, After a further 6 weeks off, below form when sixth of 8 in handicap at Goodwood (6f, good to firm, 6/1) 20 days ago. Hasn't stood racing much in the last couple of years, so others make more appeal. Winless since 2022 and below-par sixth at Goodwood 20 days ago; others appeal more.
4	4 4th (4) (40/1 -567%) Be Frank	40 40/1(-567%)	(4) Be Frank 40/1, Showed that he retains his ability when making the frame first 2 starts this year, but didn't see his race out when ninth of 11 in handicap at Newbury (7f, good to firm, 18/5) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces applied back down in trip. In decent nick, not lasting home when ninth at Newbury latest; considered back in trip.
5th	3 5th (3) (10/1 -67%) Another Investment	10 10/1(-67%)	(3) Another Investment 10/1, Not in the same form as previous outing when ninth of 20 in handicap at York (6f, soft, 10/1) 2 weeks ago, unable to sustain effort. Capable of getting involved if on a going day, but it's now been 12 runs since his last success. It's now 12 outings since his last win but arrives in good order; ought to be in shake-up.
6th	6 6th (6) (25/1 -456%) Champagne Sarah	25 25/1(-456%)	(6) Champagne Sarah 25/1, Good third at Ascot in May, finishing first home in group, before being left poorly placed when eleventh of 21 in handicap at York (6f, good, 10/3) 35 days ago. Worth forgiving her latest run so she could be in the mix. Reliable sort and not disgraced when 11th at York 35 days ago; can make her presence felt.
7th	9 7th (9) (250/1 -1463%) Muscika	250 250/1(-1463%)	(9) Muscika 250/1, After 12 weeks, never involved when fifteenth of 20 in handicap at York (6f, soft, 28/1) 14 days ago. However, had placed on his previous 4 starts, so he could fare better with his recent run behind him. Not given hard time of it after 12 weeks off when 15th at York; considered now.
8th	5 8th (5) (100/1 -203%) Rock Of England	100 100/1(-203%)	(5) Rock Of England 100/1, Successful twice for Edward Bethell in 2023 but hasn't shown much in 3 starts for current yard, sixteenth of 20 in handicap at York (6f, soft, 40/1) a fortnight ago. Has enough to prove at present. Yet to fire in three runs for his current yard this term; needs to take big step forward.
9th	7 9th (7) (100/1 -614%) Tyke	100 100/1(-614%)	(7) Tyke 100/1, Opened account for the year at this C&D in May, before racing out on the far wing when eleventh of 13 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, good, 15/2) 24 days ago. Still remains lightly raced on turf. C&D winner and not ideally placed when 11th at Nottingham since; not to be underestimated.
10th	10 10th (10) (150/1 -1400%) Another Baar	150 150/1(-1400%)	(10) Another Baar 150/1, Bettered previous efforts this season when fifth of 9 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good to soft, 50/1) 11 days ago, finding test too much having raced freely. On a workable mark so he's one to note back down in trip. Shaped well when fifth at Catterick latest, prominent long way; interesting back in trip.

ROCK OPERA was beaten just a nose into second over 6f at Nottingham last time and Richard Fahey's gelding is hard to oppose off just a 2lb higher mark here. That said, Mythical Phoenix is an obvious threat as he has been knocking hard on the door of late, while Champagne Sarah and Another Investment are others who merit a place on the shortlist.

Having been edging back down in the weights, ANOTHER BAAR shaped well with a tongue strap refitted when fifth at Catterick on his latest outing, leading until under 1f out, so he could be ready to return to winning ways back at 6f. He is taken to get the better of Champagne Sarah, who is best excused her last run, with Mythical Phoenix also considered.

Lots with chances but MYTHICAL PHOENIX is taken to end a run of second placings and gain a first success for Julie Camacho.

5	5 (5) (18/1 +28%) Pride Of Nepal	18 18/1(+28%)	(5) Pride Of Nepal 18/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Visored for 1st time, sixth of 9 in handicap at Salisbury (9.9f, good, 33/1) 13 days ago. Every chance if back to best but it's a big 'if'. Regressive 6yo who has not made a significant impact since returned to the Flat in May.
1	8 1st (8) (40/1 -100%) Mykonos St John	40 40/1(-100%)	(8) Mykonos St John 40/1, Course winner. Thirty-two runs since last win in 2022. 15/2, fifth of 6 in handicap at Ffos Las (8f, good to soft) 6 days ago. Up in trip and the percentage call is to look elsewhere. Without a win since February 2022 and recent 1m form is not very inspiring.
2	4 2nd (4) (100/1 -900%) The Colorist	100 100/1(-900%)	(4) The Colorist 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable third of 10 in handicap at this course (8f, AW, 40/1) 19 days ago, nearest finish. More is certainly needed but shaped as though this step up in trip will help and he still has low mileage. Finished well for third over 1m on handicap debut; moves up in trip today.
3	10 3rd (10) (9/1 -100%) Idyllic	9 9/1(-100%)	(10) Idyllic 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 28/1, excellent second of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 25 days ago. Merits consideration on the back of that improved display. Kept on for second when upped to 9.4f for handicap debut; probably still has potential.

Reproduction of that effort would put her firmly in the picture. Responded well to blinkers and ran big race in defeat at Chelmsford last month; respected.
6th	3 6th (3) (100/1 -614%) Semser	100 100/1(-614%)	(3) Semser 100/1, Temperamental sort. Course winner. Fifth of 6 in handicap (9/1) at Brighton (9.9f, good to firm) 26 days ago, slowly away. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Didn't run badly at Brighton this month and today's return to Polytrack will suit.
7th	2 7th (2) (100/1 -614%) The Pug	100 100/1(-614%)	(2) The Pug 100/1, Unreliable type. C&D winner. Eighth of 11 in handicap (40/1) at Bath (14f, good) 22 days ago. Down in trip and blinkers back on. Others make more appeal on balance. As good as ever when third at Wolverhampton in April but others look better handicapped.
8th	9 8th (9) (100/1 -6035%) Knight Templar	100 100/1(-6035%)	(9) Knight Templar 100/1, Promising sort. 6/4, good second of 8 in handicap at Chepstow (10f, good) 29 days ago, clear of rest. Remains capable of better and he's a big player off the same mark here. Runner-up in first two handicaps (both 1m2f) and probably still on a good mark.
9th	6 9th (6) (66/1 -843%) Manila Mist	66 66/1(-843%)	(6) Manila Mist 66/1, 12/1, good second of 10 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, good) 22 days ago. Possibilities off the same mark. Good second at Bath this month but she's now 0-10 and others here appeal more.

KNIGHT TEMPLAR has found only one too strong on both starts since going handicapping, first when touched off at Beverley before being put in his place by an emphatic winner at Chepstow. He remains weighted to break through, though, and can do so at the chief expense of Idyllic, who also occupied the runner-up berth on her handicap bow at Wolverhampton. Brassavola and Manila Mist, two more who hit the crossbar last time, complete the shortlist.

This could be between the 3-y-os KNIGHT TEMPLAR and Idyllic, with preference for the former who has found just one too good on each of his two starts in handicaps and he remains capable of better. Brassavola is best of the rest, although The Colorist could improve for this step up in trip and Manila Mist has to enter calculations.

Three-time Polytrack winner SEMSER shaped well before fading at Brighton this month and is well handicapped for this AW return.

Looks to be up against it. Well held on both his outings to date; he may still do better though once in handicaps.
1	2 1st (2) (7/2 +46%) Asimov	3.5 7/2(+46%)	(2) Asimov 7/2, Again not ideally placed when seventh of 10 in handicap (11/4) at Newbury (8f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Has travelled fluently in a couple of his races this year, so he's an interesting contender dropped in trip. Arrives in good nick in handicaps; one to consider back in trip reverted to maiden company.
2	11 2nd (11) (15/2 -329%) Balmoral Lady	7.5 15/2(-329%)	(11) Balmoral Lady 15/2, Has made a promising start to her career, just failing when short-head second of 5 in minor event at Bath (5f, good, 5/4) a fortnight ago. Can go one better with further progress to come. Short-head second at Bath when suffering poor run; more to offer and holds leading claims.

Brother to 3 winners, including very smart 5f winner Extortionist and 2-y-o 5f winner Utterly Charming. Dam 7f winner. Wears hood and he's a rare newcomer for yard. Dandy Man gelding; related to several winners but hooded for debut and market can guide.

However, has lengthy absence to overcome having been off 19 months since (has been gelded). Debut third at Newcastle 19 months ago but off/gelded since so has his fitness to prove.

Dam Canadian 2-y-o 7f-8.5f (minor stakes) winner out of unraced half-sister to US Grade 1 1¼m winner Collected. Yard not known for winning debutants. Palace Malice gelding; betting can prove an accurate indicator for this newcomer.

BALMORAL LADY has filled second place on both of her previous starts and this looks like an ideal opportunity for Ed Walker's filly to go one better. Musical Touch has progressed with each start to date and may find further improvement having been gelding since his last appearance. Dark Sun edges out Asimov and Sondad to be the pick of the remainder.

BALMORAL LADY looked unlucky not to win when second at Bath 2 weeks ago, denied a run over 1f out, so she looks to hold leading claims of getting off the mark this time around. Musical Touch has been shaping up encouragingly and could be the biggest threat having been gelded since last seen, with Asimov completing the shortlist.

Ed Walker's BALMORAL LADY looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to get off the mark now after two promising second placings

Yet to hit top gear this season but his mark is on the slide and he's of strong interest back in 0-65 company. On dangerous mark back in a Class 6 event and has claims if he can get back near best.

FAIR DINKUM underwent a wind and a gelding operation during his winter break and can take the necessary step forward from his Salisbury comeback, when he had Feyha well behind him. The extra furlong will play to his strengths, although it may also benefit Dynamiste, who hasn't had the pace to stay competitive over shorter. Stage Show didn't take to hurdling at Stratford and should be happier back on the level.

Edging back down the weights and down in class, ON THE RIGHT TRACK may well get back on the right track by resuming winning ways in this trappy-looking contest. Dynamiste is likely to emerge as the main danger, provided the addition of cheekpieces has the desired effect, while Fair Dinkum is best of the rest.

This looks a bit trappy but course winner FAIR DINKUM gets the vote ahead of On The Right Track and Dynamiste.

Below-par effort when tenth of 16 in handicap at the same C&D (good to soft, 7/1) 15 days ago, but no surprise to see him bounce back. Below par at York last time but had been running well there and he's consistent in main.
2	2 2nd (2) (4/1 -45%) Signcastle City	4 4/1(-45%)	(2) Signcastle City 4/1, Quickly resumed winning ways when getting up late in 11-runner handicap at Chepstow (7.1f, good to firm, 9/1) 3 weeks ago. Remains fairly treated on last season's best form, so he's not taken lightly. Assured stamina got him home over 7f latest; 3lb rise is hardly the end of the world.
3	8 3rd (8) (14/1 +13%) Thapa Vc	14 14/1(+13%)	(8) Thapa Vc 14/1, Capitalised on a falling mark when winning at Kempton in May. Not discredited when fifth of 8 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm, 22/1) 12 days ago, again racing freely. Needs everything to drop right. Some positives to take from his recent Windsor run and 7f is probably a better fit.
4	7 4th (7) (11/1 -120%) Great Max	11 11/1(-120%)	(7) Great Max 11/1, Again shaped better than result when seventh of 11 in handicap at this course (8f, good to soft, 4/1) 13 days ago, not ideally placed. Remains early days for current yard, so he's a major player having dropped a long way in the weights. Stable debut over 7f was encouraging; finished weakly here over 1m next time.
5th	9 5th (9) (12/1 -9%) Starshiba	12 12/1(-9%)	(9) Starshiba 12/1, Raced too freely when last of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 13/2) in March. However, he'd made the frame on his previous 2 starts and he lurks on a dangerous mark if transferring his AW form back onto turf (6 lb lower on turf). Multiple AW winner from 6f to 1m but he's 0-21 on turf and has been off since March.
6th	3 6th (3) (100/1 -300%) Tactical	100 100/1(-300%)	(3) Tactical 100/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2021 and his form has gone the wrong way, typically slowly away when fourteenth of 17 in handicap at York (7f, soft, 28/1) 2 weeks ago. Headgear left off this time. Quality performer back in the day for Andrew Balding but he looks on a very slippery slope.
7th	4 7th (4) (9/1 -227%) Extrication	9 9/1(-227%)	(4) Extrication 9/1, Making second start for current yard, took a step forward when runner-up in 6-runner minor event at Wetherby (7f, soft, 7/2) 62 days ago (the winner scored again next time). Capable of better still as he makes handicap debut. Lightly raced ex-Roger Varian-trained 5yo; career best when runner-up in a Wetherby novice.

Run best excused when ninth of 10 in handicap at Chester (6.1f, heavy, 7/1) 2 weeks ago, caught wide after a slow start. Not discounted back up in trip. Bang in form until last time on heavy; has been running over 6f but he stays a mile.

Soon left behind a lesser effort when fourth of 20 in handicap (28/1) at York (6f, soft) 2 weeks ago. On his last winning mark so he could be thereabouts. He has won over 7f but sprinting is really more his thing.
10th	10 10th (10) (400/1 -1900%) Leap Day	400 400/1(-1900%)	(10) Leap Day 400/1, Ran well at Thirsk in May but wasn't in the same form a week later when fifteenth of 18 in handicap at York (7f, good, 50/1) 35 days ago. Others more persuasive. Not beaten far when fifth at Thirsk two runs back but his profile is very patchy.

Signcastle City has to be respected having won two of his last three starts but marginal preference is for EXTRICATION. Roger Teal's gelding put in a career-best performance when a close second in a novice event at Wetherby last time and he remains open to more improvement on his handicap debut. Others to consider are Roundhay Park, Thapa VC and Great Max.

This could go the way of GREAT MAX, who hasn't been seen to best effect on both starts since joining David O'Meara. He's now 20 lb lower in the weights than he was at the beginning of last year and appeals as the type that his current yard can enjoy success with. Signcastle City is feared most as he bids for his third win of the season, ahead of Extrication.

Handicap debutant EXTRICATION has had the form of his latest improved effort franked and he might have enough up his sleeve.

Tongue strap on 1st time and this filly is open to improvement. Improvement required to win but faster ground could help prompt it.

Big player based on promise shown in her 2 previous starts. Below par last time but slow ground may have counted against her; sets the clear standard.

Evidently not one of her powerful yard's leading lights and she may do better in nurseries further down the line. Two encouraging runs in stronger races; solid contender at this level.

It will be interesting to see how she shapes up in the betting. 270,000euros breeze-up 2yo; dam 5f winner; looks the part on paper; commands respect.

Dam once-raced sister to high-class winner up to 1¼m Never On Sunday, won Prix d'Ispahan. Well worth a second look in the betting. 40,000 breeze-up 2yo; dam a half-sister to a Group 1 winner; betting to guide.

Half-sister to 4 winners, including useful Be Prepared, but likely best watched on debut.

This represents an excellent opportunity for BAILEYS JUBILATION, who sets a useful standard with an official rating of 84. Having finished fifth in the Marygate at York last month, she was underwhelming in a novice at the same venue last time. However, she has time to do better and given that this track might be more suitable, the Oasis Dream filly could step forward. It would come as no surprise were Coto De Caza, a 270,000-euro purchase, to play a prominent role on debut and Desdemona is also noted.

If the first-time tongue strap helps DESDEMONA settle a little better than she did at Catterick 11 days ago, it could be a case of third time lucky for the Tom Clover-trained filly. Indeed, she showed excellent speed on that occasion and could prove hard to peg back round here. Baileys Jubilation was a shade below par at York last time but is well worth another chance in view of her initial promise. She is second choice ahead of newcomers Coto de Caza and Andantini.

Coto De Caza is a newcomer to note but BAILEYS JUBILATION is taken to get the better of Lucky Gift.

TIMEFALL finished a respectable second at Leicester on her introduction. She led for most of the way before running out of steam in the closing stages, and normal progress could see her go one better in this company. Whiskey Glasses posted her best effort so far when fourth in a seller at Chester and she's preferred of the others with racecourse experience, while Harvesting, a half-sister to the useful Mohareb, is a newcomer to note.

A valuable fillies' maiden in which it's hard to get away from TIMEFALL, who pulled clear of the remainder when finding an odds-on shot too strong at Leicester on debut a fortnight ago and Ralph Beckett's charge is open to plenty of improvement. Ollie Sangster saddles a couple in Whiskey Glasses and Glamis Road and they can provide most resistance, with Balayaged another debutante worth keeping an eye on, too.

The best of those with experience is TIMEFALL who came clear with the winner at Leicester and she should be all the wiser now.

The vote goes to NOEL FOX, who was narrowly denied on her handicap debut at Thirsk last time and looks to hold strong claims off just 1lb higher. Mc Loven has been running well in defeat of late and he is of clear interest now dropped in class. Big Time Rascal shaped with promise on his stable debut recently and is by no means out of this.

NOEL FOX went down narrowly on her handicap debut at Thirsk and, with this drop to the minimum trip a potentially very good move, she looks the way to go. Big Time Rascal left his low-key 2-y-o form behind when runner-up in a Brighton maiden on his seasonal reappearance and he is taken to edge out Mc Loven for second-place prizemoney.

5f on quick ground could be ideal for MC LOVEN and he can capitalise on this drop in class. Big Time Rascal is next best.

First run for yard after leaving Seb Spencer. Makes handicap debut and has had a wind op. Displayed promise in 6f novice races last year; makes stable/handicap debut after layoff.

Easy enough to look elsewhere after that. Both handicap runs this spring were underwhelming; drops in trip and grade today.

INDIVAR ran well to finish third at Leicester and the runner-up has subsequently boosted that form by winning. David O'Meara's colt will appreciate the return to fast ground and can get his head back in front. Bella Bisbee wasn't far behind the selection at Leicester, despite a tardy start, and she can figure again, while Smart Vision returns to his winning trip having placed over 6f at Haydock last time and is not out of this.

Plenty in with chances but the vote goes to BRINDLEY, who hasn't shown a great deal in his 3 runs to date but is bred to be useful and could prove a different proposition now sent down the handicap route. Alfie Boy arrives in top form so he could be the one to give the selection most to think about, with Indivar and Marmaduke Lemon another couple worth considering, also.

David O'Meara's INDIVAR was third on slower-than-ideal ground at Leicester a fortnight ago and can land this prize.

Last-time-out winners Buy The Dip and MBAPPE look the pair to concentrate on and, while the former has won over a mile on the all-weather at this venue before, the latter appears more suited to this trip and shades the vote off just 4lb higher than his recent win over the extended 7f on this track. Essme has finished a respectable third over C&D on each of her last two starts and can also go well.

The thriving MBAPPE can defy the handicapper again and make it 3-4 for the year. Unexposed Harry Charlton handicap newcomer Alabama Anna is feared most ahead of last month's Brighton scorer Buy The Dip.

Alabama Anna has untapped potential on this handicap debut but the improving MBAPPE can score again.

The softer conditions on that occasion may well have been a factor in her disappointing performance and the four-year-old is entitled to leave that performance behind. Turner Girl has to be respected dropping back in trip having won over C&D in April, while the third from that contest, Throubi, appeals most of the remainder.

A tricky puzzle to solve despite the small field but bottom-weight CELEBRATING ETHEL has been shaping up well for her new yard so gets the nod with a fully-fledged rider back on board at the expense of Throubi, who was behind Turner Girl when last seen over C&D a couple of months ago but remains very low mileage. Atlantis Blue seems to be working her way back, so she can fill out third.

The vote goes to CELEBRATING ETHEL who can build on earlier promise for Tony Carrroll and provide his in-form yard with another winner

1	2 1st (2) (4/1 -14%) Alpine Girl	4 4/1(-14%)	(2) Alpine Girl 4/1, 6/1, below form when seventh of 9 in handicap at Goodwood (6f, good) 22 days ago. Runner-up at Brighton prior to that. Hood on first time. Both wins at 5f but stays 6f well enough; penultimate run encouraging but latest less so.
2	3 2nd (3) (6/1 -71%) Little Miss Magic	6 6/1(-71%)	(3) Little Miss Magic 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 9/2, creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Midfield on recent handicap debut but brings the prospect of further progress; contender.
3	1 3rd (1) (12/1 -500%) Em Jay Kay	12 12/1(-500%)	(1) Em Jay Kay 12/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2023. 9/2, respectable third of 6 in handicap at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) 5 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time. Expected to be bang there. Placed in four of last five runs; cheekpieces now added; should give another good account.
4	6 4th (6) (66/1 -267%) Invincible Navy	66 66/1(-267%)	(6) Invincible Navy 66/1, Last of 8 in handicap at this course (7.6f, good to firm, 28/1) 21 days ago. Back down in trip. Blinkers on first time. Yet to shine for current stable and today's headgear change isn't enough to tempt.
5th	4 5th (4) (66/1 -1550%) Muy Muy Guapo	66 66/1(-1550%)	(4) Muy Muy Guapo 66/1, Remains a maiden after 20 starts but went close at Brighton on penultimate start and shaped as if still in form when fifth back there last week. Near miss in weak race at Brighton this month; fair effort since but he's a 20-race maiden.
6th	5 6th (5) (100/1 -1329%) Briar Rose	100 100/1(-1329%)	(5) Briar Rose 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 10 in handicap (15/2) at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) on reappearance 21 days ago. Needs to leave that well behind. Heavy defeat at Beverley on her handicap debut/reappearance; plenty to prove.

EM JAY KAY has generally been consistent since returning from a short break and can gain a deserved first win of the campaign. The fitting of first-time cheekpieces could provide the missing ingredient for the selection and, equally effective on turf, he boasts a major chance off 1lb below his last winning all-weather mark. Alpine Girl is noted with a first-time hood added, while the unexposed Little Miss Magic also commands respect.

EM JAY KAY gets the nod to snap a losing run. Muy Muy Guapo is a long-standing maiden but he's been in reasonable form lately and is second choice ahead of Alpine Girl.

Em Jay Kay should give it another good go but the unexposed LITTLE MISS MAGIC (nap) may well be able to improve past her.

1	7 1st (7) (10/3 +26%) Naepoint	3.333333 10/3(+26%)	(7) Naepoint 10/3, Lightly-raced maiden. Very good fourth of 10 in maiden at Musselburgh (8f, good to firm, 4/1) 16 days ago. Much respected on his handicap debut. Similar form in his recent maiden defeats on slow and fast ground; handicap debut.

Dual AW winner who ran up to his best when going down by only a neck at Newbury.
3	3 3rd (3) (16/1 -380%) War Chant	16 16/1(-380%)	(3) War Chant 16/1, 7/2, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good) 27 days ago. Can give another good account. Fourth win in his last seven starts when keeping on for a narrow success at Nottingham.

5th	4 5th (4) (66/1 -313%) Paris Lights	66 66/1(-313%)	(4) Paris Lights 66/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 22/1, twelfth of 16 in handicap at York (10.2f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Back down in trip. Encouraging third at Nottingham and it was a tougher task at York; could go well.

Latest win at Redcar in May. 12/1, below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Wetherby (8f, good to soft) 18 days ago so needs to bounce back.

AL MUQDAD arrives in search of a hat-trick of victories after scoring twice over 7f, the first of those coming at Ayr before following up here, and his latest 3lb rise is unlikely to stop David O'Meara's gelding from making any further progress. Naepoint is likely to have more to offer on his handicap bow, while recent Nottingham winner War Chant appeals most of the remainder.

David O'Meara's AL MUQDAD is proving a likeable sort and taken to complete a quick hat-trick after his gutsy recent course success. Hugo Palmer's Havanarama rates a big threat though off a handy-looking mark. with handicap-debutant Naepoint and Nottingham-victor War Chant also firmly in the picture.

Hat-trick seeker Al Muqdad is taken on with BIGBERTIEBASSETT (nap) who ran so well at Ascot on his final start over this far.
