13:55 Sandown Handicap (Class 2) 5f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (3/1 +50%) Dream Composer	3 3/1(+50%)	(4) Dream Composer 3/1, Has taken his form up a notch this year, scoring at Newmarket and Goodwood. Didn't enjoy the smoothest of passages when third at latter course before finding Wokingham at Royal Ascot too competitive. Progressive sprinter with a will to win and an excellent record over 5f; solid contender.
2	2 2nd (2) (2.5/1 -17%) Korker	2.5 2.5/1(-17%)	(2) Korker 2.5/1, Back to best when second of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) last week and player with a repeat. As good as ever this year, twice finishing second in strong 5f handicaps; major player.
3	3 3rd (3) (10/1 -25%) Arecibo	10 10/1(-25%)	(3) Arecibo 10/1, Losing run is mounting up but took step back in the right direction fitted with a tongue strap when seventh of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 33/1) last week and has some decent form at this track. Two good 2nds in the spring but his form has dipped more recently; behind Korker last week.
4	6 4th (6) (5.5/1 -22%) Can To Can	5.5 5.5/1(-22%)	(6) Can To Can 5.5/1, Left reappearance/yard debut effort in her wake when making all in first-time blinkers at Newcastle (5f). In better form than recent form figures suggest since, seventh of 26 in handicap at Royal Ascot (5f) 14 days ago, deserving extra credit having been up with the pace. Not taken lightly. Bolted up on AW in May but the handicapper has exacted revenge since; best on fast turf.
5th	5 5th (5) (33/1 -83%) Dubai Station	33 33/1(-83%)	(5) Dubai Station 33/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in March on second start for this yard but unable to match that form since and overall record suggests he's best on AW. Impressive on AW (6f) off this mark in March; less convincing in four runs since.
6th	1 6th (1) (2.25/1 +0%) Clarendon House	2.25 2.25/1(+0%)	(1) Clarendon House 2.25/1, Highly tried on the back of success in small field conditions' event at Beverley (5f) last summer. Stepped up on reappearance when decent third in the "Dash" at Epsom, though pulled too hard at Haydock since. Tongue strap applied and worth another chance. Big chance on his 3rd in the Dash; not so good latest; tongue-tie added; drying ground a +.

LTO Selection:

Clarendon House, Korker and Arecibo have encountered each other in some quality sprints lately and are once again key players. Given he is arguably the most straightforward, Clarendon House, with a tongue-tie now applied, appeals most of that trio. However, DREAM COMPOSER is dangerous to underestimate based on his peak performances and he can provide a bit of value if his main rivals are a bit below par.

CLARENDON HOUSE pulled too hard in a listed event at Haydock last time but he went very close in the "Dash" at Epsom the time before so is worth another chance in a first-time tongue strap. Korker was back to his smart best when second at Newcastle last week so rates a big threat, while Arecibo took a step back in the right direction in the same race and has performed well here before.

Korker has solid claims after a good run last week but DREAM COMPOSER (nap) is making giant strides over 5f and he can go in again.

14:20 Doncaster Handicap (Class 5) 8f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (6/1 +0%) Elzaam Blue	6 6/1(+0%)	(1) Elzaam Blue 6/1, Bounced back to form refitted with blinkers to end a long losing run in 8-runner handicap at Dundalk (10.7f) in February, very much having run of race. Off 142 days. First run for yard after leaving Darren Bunyan and not an obvious type to follow up. Well treated if transferring Irish AW form back to turf on debut for new yard.
2	2 2nd (2) (10/1 -54%) Night Arc	10 10/1(-54%)	(2) Night Arc 10/1, Improved when landing a 1¼m Leicester handicap on the second of just 2 appearances last season. Below form first 2 starts this term but fared much better dropped back in trip when runner-up at Newbury (7f) 10 days ago, headed only late on. Respected off same mark. Went very close at Newbury ten days ago; due to rise 2lb from tomorrow; major player.
3	11 3rd (11) (5/1 +44%) Hostelry	5 5/1(+44%)	(11) Hostelry 5/1, Came out on top at Ayr in May and good efforts all 3 starts since, including when neck third of 9 in C&D handicap last week. Cheekpieces on for 1st time and likely to give another good account. Close third in fillies' handicap over C&D last Friday; due to go up 1lb from tomorrow.
4	9 4th (9) (40/1 -186%) Billy McGarry	40 40/1(-186%)	(9) Billy McGarry 40/1, Won at Nottingham in May 2022. Not in same form next 2 outings but made a pleasing return to action for new yard after 12 months off when third past-post in 8-runner event at Redcar 13 days ago, demoted to fourth for causing interference. Ran creditably at Redcar on reappearance but now goes up in class.
5th	6 5th (6) (14/1 -40%) Cloch Nua	14 14/1(-40%)	(6) Cloch Nua 14/1, Won at Newcastle and Wolverhampton in late 2022 and placed last 2 starts, second at Carlisle (7.8f) on most recent outing, albeit no match for winner. Still low mileage on turf. 0-7 on turf but posted encouraging efforts the last twice; each-way hopes.
6th	4 6th (4) (4/1 +0%) Ravenglass	4 4/1(+0%)	(4) Ravenglass 4/1, Won at Redcar and Thirsk in mid-2022 and turned in his best effort this year in a first-time visor when runner-up in a 7.4f handicap at Beverley 10 days ago, clear of rest. Excellent chance from same mark. Ran well in first-time visor at Beverley last week; future mark 3lb higher; strong chance.
7th	10 7th (10) (6/1 +0%) Fariba	6 6/1(+0%)	(10) Fariba 6/1, Confirmed return to form despite not being seen to best effect when third of 8 in 1m handicap (11/2) at Salisbury (good to firm) 9 days ago, having to wait for gap from 3f out. Shortlisted. Her effort at Salisbury last week needs marking up a touch; in the mix.
8th	5 8th (5) (18/1 +10%) Absolute Dream	18 18/1(+10%)	(5) Absolute Dream 18/1, C&D winner who looked to be coming to the boil when third at Thirsk in early June. However, wasn't in the same form over C&D last week. 7-lb conditional now takes over in the saddle. Won the Leger Legends race here last term; disappointing over C&D last week.
9th	12 9th (12) (28/1 -100%) Butterfly Effect	28 28/1(-100%)	(12) Butterfly Effect 28/1, Fair maiden who was too free when last of 4 in 1m handicap at Bath (firm, 15/2) 28 days ago. May benefit from a first-time hood and possibilities on the pick of her form. The only maiden in the field; gets a change of headgear.
10th	8 10th (8) (14/1 +0%) Eleven Eleven	14 14/1(+0%)	(8) Eleven Eleven 14/1, Opened account for current yard at Newcastle in February but is operating below his best at present, only seventh of 12 in 1m handicap at aforementioned track 16 days ago. Needs to up his game. Dual AW winner; ran creditably in April; not in the same form since.
11th	3 11th (3) (5.5/1 +31%) Willard Creek	5.5 5.5/1(+31%)	(3) Willard Creek 5.5/1, Stepped up on his reappearance when sixth of 12 in 10f handicap at Pontefract in early May but wasn't in the same form at Haydock subsequently. Back down in trip. Has something to find on balance of handicap form.
12th	7 12th (7) (14/1 +13%) Simulation Theory	14 14/1(+13%)	(7) Simulation Theory 14/1, Dual winner in 2022 but isn't straightforward and went the wrong way from his reappearance when down the field at Beverley (8.4f) 52 days ago. Disappointing favourite when last seen; on a workable mark if back in top form.

LTO Selection:

RAVENGLASS hinted at a return to winning ways when second at Beverley last week and the slight rise in distance can aid his cause on this occasion. The four-year-old remains on a feasible mark and he is preferred to the likes of Dundalk scorer Elzaam Blue and Night Arc, who was narrowly denied at Newbury last time out. Completing the shortlist are Cloch Nua, Fariba and Hostelry.

RAVENGLASS bounced back to his best in a first-time visor when runner-up at Beverley last week, so he's the percentage call to go one better from the same mark. Fariba didn't quite get the rub of the green on her most recent outing at Salisbury and remains one to bear in mind, while Night Arc is another to consider having coped fine with the marked drop back in trip at Newbury.

A competitive opener in which a few runners are ahead of the assessor, namely RAVENGLASS, Night Arc and Hostelry.

14:20 Doncaster Handicap (Class 5) 8f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:30 Sandown Listed (Class 1) 5f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (2.25/1 +18%) Kylian	2.25 2.25/1(+18%)	(3) Kylian 2.25/1, Took another step forward to get off the mark in good style switched to all-weather in 5-runner event at Newcastle (5f, 5/2) 16 days ago, pushed out. May do better still and merits plenty of respect up in grade. Let supporters down on first 2 runs but produced dominant display on AW latest; big chance.
2	1 2nd (1) (14/1 +22%) Hackman	14 14/1(+22%)	(1) Hackman 14/1, Half-brother to several winners and confirmed the promise of his debut when landing 5-runner maiden at Chester in May. Gave a good account of himself behind a smart prospect in the National Stakes over C&D but shaped as if amiss when well held in Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot last time. Chester winner in May and ran quite well in Listed event over C&D next time; quiet latest.
3	4 3rd (4) (8.5/1 -13%) Nazalan	8.5 8.5/1(-13%)	(4) Nazalan 8.5/1, £105,000 yearling, Starspangledbanner colt. Green when third of 8 at Nottingham on debut and built on that promise when making all in a C&D novice last month, unchallenged. That form has already been franked and he's open to further improvement. Promise on debut before easily making all over C&D; this tougher but there's more to come.
4	2 4th (2) (5.5/1 +39%) Hala Emaraaty	5.5 5.5/1(+39%)	(2) Hala Emaraaty 5.5/1, Overcame inexperience to make a winning debut in 6-runner maiden at Ripon (heavy) and just as effective on different ground when defying a penalty at Redcar. Ran to a just a similar level up in grade when seventh of 23 in Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot, though. More needed. Won his first 2 starts before a creditable 7th at Royal Ascot; this looks more manageable.
5th	6 5th (6) (1.5/1 -36%) Born To Rock	1.5 1.5/1(-36%)	(6) Born To Rock 1.5/1, Soldier's Call filly who looked a good prospect when making a winning start in 12-runner maiden at Yarmouth (5.2f) 44 days ago. Form has taken some knocks but the timefigure was good and she has to be considered the one to beat. Debut form not franked but she was in a different league to her rivals; more to come.
6th	7 6th (7) (100/1 -150%) Queues Likely	100 100/1(-150%)	(7) Queues Likely 100/1, Made most of experience when making all in 10-runner maiden at Windsor (5.1f) in June, seeming well suited by the switch to aggressive tactics. However, wasn't in anything like the same form under a penalty at Windsor last week and looks set for another struggle up in grade. Easy winner at Windsor on penultimate start; well held last week; flying too high today.
7th	5 7th (5) (11/1 +39%) Sergeant Wilko	11 11/1(+39%)	(5) Sergeant Wilko 11/1, Shaped best when second of 8 in an early-season novice at Musselburgh and duly went one place better at Thirsk a fortnight later. Not seen to best effect when well held in Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot since and better judged on previous form as a result. Ready winner on soft ground on 2nd start; found Royal Ascot too hot to handle; more needed.

LTO Selection:

HALA EMARAATY, who was a respectable seventh in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot, arguably sets the standard on form and could take some stopping in this smaller field. He was comfortably ahead of Sergeant Wilko (18th) and Hackman (21st) at Ascot and a step forward can see him gain a deserved success. Kylian missed the Royal meeting but must be feared given he is officially the top-rated horse on the back of his Newcastle romp.

BORN TO ROCK cost plenty at the breeze-ups and clocked a good time when making a winning start in a Yarmouth maiden back in May, so there's no real urge to look beyond her, especially in a weak-looking renewal of this listed contest. Nazalan had clearly learnt plenty from his debut when making all over C&D last month and, with that form proving strong, he's feared most. Kylian opened his account in decisive fashion at Newcastle recently and warrants respect, also.

Born To Rock is greatly respected but KYLIAN showed what he could do at Newcastle and remains capable of better.

14:40 Newton Abbot Handicap Chase (Class 3) 16f - 3 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (0.62/1 +23%) Guinness Affair	0.62 0.62/1(+23%)	(2) Guinness Affair 0.62/1, Missed all of last season and came on plenty for his recent run with a facile victory in a 3-runner Hexham handicap (15.6f, good) 12 days ago. Sure to go on to better things as a chaser and will take all the beating. Much improved on second chasing start when winning easily at Hexham; 7lb penalty.
2	3 2nd (3) (4/1 +0%) Magistrato	4 4/1(+0%)	(3) Magistrato 4/1, Made final start for Paul Nicholls a winning one in May and shaped as if still retaining his ability when fourth of 6 in handicap chase at Aintree (15.8f, good to firm, 8/1) 21 days ago, travelling strongly. Respected. Beat these two rivals at Warwick (for Paul Nicholls); well held on stable debut.
3	1 3rd (1) (2.75/1 -22%) Stepney Causeway	2.75 2.75/1(-22%)	(1) Stepney Causeway 2.75/1, Useful hurdles winner for Dan Skelton and finally took advantage of slipping mark to score for the first time over fences in a 4-runner event at Worcester last time. Penalised here and perhaps possesses less scope than his rivals. First chase win at 12th attempt when beating three rivals at Worcester; 7lb penalty.

LTO Selection:

Guinness Affair was impressive when landing a similar contest at Hexham last month and, given the margin of success that day, he is respected despite the 7lb penalty. However, he was no match for MAGISTRATO when they met at Warwick in May and he might again finished behind that rival. The recent Worcester-scorer Stepney Causeway also has something to find with the selection based on that aforementioned encounter and he too looks opposable under a 7lb penalty.

GUINNESS AFFAIR coasted clear to win at Hexham on his second chase start in the manner of a horse who should go onto better things, so he's fancied to account for his 2 rivals under a penalty. Magistrato and Stepney Causeway both have recent wins to their name and can't be fully dismissed, though both lack the latent potential of the selection.

Much improved when winning easily at Hexham, GUINNESS AFFAIR can follow up.

14:40 Newton Abbot Handicap Chase (Class 3) 16f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:55 Doncaster Handicap (Class 4) 5f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (4/1 +33%) The Big Board	4 4/1(+33%)	(1) The Big Board 4/1, Finished runner-up in handicap company on her last 3 starts on turf as a 2-y-o but showed improved form to make a winning return after 7 months off at Leicester (6f, good to firm) in May. Raced in unfavoured far-side group when eleventh at Royal Ascot recently but more required nonetheless. Midfield (second home on far side) in the 5f handicap at Royal Ascot; one to consider.
2	8 2nd (8) (25/1 -14%) Jeans Maite	25 25/1(-14%)	(8) Jeans Maite 25/1, Not disgraced returned to turf after 3 months off when fourth of 8 at Thirsk (5f, good) 4 weeks ago, headed entering final 1f having made most. On her last winning mark and entirely possible that will take a step forward from that outing. Ran well in this race last year but some of these rivals are less exposed.
3	6 3rd (6) (8.5/1 +15%) May Blossom	8.5 8.5/1(+15%)	(6) May Blossom 8.5/1, 3-time winner last term who wasted no time getting back to form when third at Haydock (5f) just under a fortnight ago. Ideally needs a really strong pace to aim at and merits consideration having dipped a couple of pounds below her last winning mark. Well exposed but has a fighting chance; 2lb below last winning mark.
4	2 4th (2) (1.1/1 +20%) Pure Angel	1.1 1.1/1(+20%)	(2) Pure Angel 1.1/1, Upwardly mobile filly who displayed race-by-race progress in maiden/novice company last year, scoring at Wolverhampton in November. Shaped well when runner-up on handicap debut/reappearance and not seen to best effect when seventh at York since. Remains one to be positive about. Should be suited by the return to 5f and remains open to further progress; respected.
5th	7 5th (7) (16/1 -60%) Lotus Rose	16 16/1(-60%)	(7) Lotus Rose 16/1, Got off the mark for the season with cheekpieces refitted at Thirsk (5f, soft, 6/1) 17 days ago, bagging the favoured stand side rail early and never really looking in much danger. 4 lb higher and circumstances may not be so favourable on this occasion. All wins in Class 5, the most recent last month; vulnerable back up in grade.
6th	3 6th (3) (6/1 +8%) Riversway	6 6/1(+8%)	(3) Riversway 6/1, Scored over C&D last year and regained the winning thread to justify strong support at Haydock (5f, good to firm) just over 3 weeks ago, albeit seen to advantage from the best of the draw. Merits consideration from a 4 lb higher mark. Now on career-high mark but record is 5-12 and she may be capable of better still.
7th	4 7th (4) (9/1 -29%) Sparkling Red	9 9/1(-29%)	(4) Sparkling Red 9/1, Back on track away from testing conditions when scoring at Redcar (5f, good) in May and ran at least as well in defeat when runner-up at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to firm) just over 3 weeks ago. 1 lb higher here and no surprise if she's in the mix again. Largely consistent; now back in a deeper race but likely to give her running.

LTO Selection:

The Julie Camacho stable can do little wrong at present and RIVERSWAY is fancied to follow up on a taking success at Haydock last month. A 4lb rise looks manageable and she can see off the likes of Pure Angel and Sparkling Red, who is unlucky not to be arriving on a hat-trick having been narrowly denied at Yarmouth. Lotus Rose and May Blossom are expected to be thereabouts as well.

Cases can be made for most of these, but preference is for PURE ANGEL, who shaped as if still in top form when seventh at York just under 3 weeks ago and back at the minimum trip, James Horton's filly remains one to be positive about. She can get the better of Riversway, who regained the winning thread at Haydock recently, while Sparkling Red and Lotus Rose are another couple fancied to be in the shake-up.

There could well be more to come from PURE ANGEL back down in trip/class. She's first choice ahead of The Big Board.

15:05 Sandown Listed (Class 1) 16f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (0.33/1 +18%) Yibir	0.33 0.33/1(+18%)	(6) Yibir 0.33/1, High-class performer who signed off for 2022 with victory in the Group 2 Princess of Wales's Stakes at Newmarket. Looked rusty on return in Aston Park Stakes at Newbury and below form upped markedly in trip in Gold Cup at Royal Ascot recently. Looks the one to beat in this company. Showed enough in the Gold Cup to suggest he is the one to beat over 2m at this lower level.
2	1 2nd (1) (11/1 +21%) Aaddeey	11 11/1(+21%)	(1) Aaddeey 11/1, Dual winner for the Crisfords in 2021. Made it to the track only twice last season but made a successful return after 11 months off (had breathing op) in handicap at Ripon (12f, heavy) in April. Down the field in Copper Horse Handicap at Royal Ascot recently but returns to a small field scenario. 1m4f win on first of two runs for yard; has his first go at 2m and steps out of handicaps.
3	3 3rd (3) (5.5/1 -10%) Ocean Wind	5.5 5.5/1(-10%)	(3) Ocean Wind 5.5/1, Three-time winner in 2020 who took his form up another notch in 2021, finishing runner-up on his first 3 outings (beaten length by Stradivarius in Sagaro Stakes). Disappointed when last seen in Henry II Stakes at this C&D over 2 years ago and blinkers go on for his return. Smart form in April 2021; absent since May 2021 and blinkered for this reappearance.
4	5 4th (5) (9/1 +18%) Sleeping Lion	9 9/1(+18%)	(5) Sleeping Lion 9/1, Very capable performer when on-song and ran about as well as could have been expected after a couple of months off when 3¾ lengths third of 5 to Roberto Escobarr in Henry II Stakes at this C&D (good) just over 6 weeks ago. Needs to settle better if he's to feature, however. Back near his best when third of five in Group 3 over C&D (good) six weeks ago.
5th	4 5th (4) (28/1 -40%) Raymond Tusk	28 28/1(-40%)	(4) Raymond Tusk 28/1, Useful performer who got back on track after 4 months off when third in handicap at Newmarket (12f) in May, nearest finish. Not in same form in Copper Horse Handicap at Royal Ascot (14.2f, good) since, so probably best to look elsewhere. Smart form in 2022 (second run this year was satisfactory) but rarely seen over this far.
6th	2 6th (2) (50/1 -25%) Estacas	50 50/1(-25%)	(2) Estacas 50/1, Fair hurdler who seemed to excel himself making only his second start on the Flat when fifth in Queen Alexandra Stakes at Royal Ascot (21.6f, good to firm) just under a fortnight ago. Remains to be seen if he can back that up. Bumper/hurdle winner; fifth of nine in the Queen Alexandra at Royal Ascot (2m5f) latest.

LTO Selection:

YIBIR has gained glory on some big stages on his travels and, having finished a commendable sixth in last month's Gold Cup, he is a strong candidate for further success over this more suitable trip. William Buick knows the gelding inside out and another big run is expected. Ocean Wind deserves a day in the sun and is sure to give his all once more, while Aaddeey certainly can't be ruled out.

It's tough to look beyond YIBIR, who was unable get competitive in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot just over a fortnight ago but back in much calmer waters, Charlie Appleby's 5-y-o should prove tough to beat. Ocean Wind has a lengthy absence to overcome, but he put up a few smart performances in defeat back in 2021 and he could give the selection most to think about sporting first-time headgear. Aaddeey and Sleeping Lion can do battle for third spot.

Confidence in YIBIR is dented but this race is a major drop in class and he did plug on into 6th of 12 in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot.

15:15 Newton Abbot Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 22f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (0.67/1 +70%) Sandalwood	0.67 0.67/1(+70%)	(3) Sandalwood 0.67/1, Has improved for the step up to 3m+ this spring, passing the post first at Taunton (subsequently disqualified after impeding the runner-up) before second at Plumpton. Dropped in trip but should go well again for top yard. Every chance on handicap efforts on latest two starts; down in trip; can ran too freely.
2	1 2nd (1) (4.5/1 +0%) Clapton Hill	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(1) Clapton Hill 4.5/1, Shaped well when placed only start in bumpers but record over hurdles is patchy, only sixth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Aintree (20f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Player on pick of efforts though with tongue strap on 1st time. Hasn't progressed in handicaps but better chances back in maiden company; tongue-strap on.
3	2 3rd (2) (50/1 -67%) Oval Street	50 50/1(-67%)	(2) Oval Street 50/1, Three-time point winner showed up well for a long way before taking a fall late on his hunter debut at Stratford last year. Little promise when down the field at Fakenham in May, though, and has plenty to prove making yard/hurdles debut here. Moderate winning pointer; best watched on stable/hurdle debut.
4	4 4th (4) (16/1 +52%) Supreme Johnson	16 16/1(+52%)	(4) Supreme Johnson 16/1, Dual point winner made the frame once from 3 starts in bumpers for M. Osborne. Shaped reasonably well when fourth of 8 in novice hurdle at this C&D (good, 20/1) on hurdles bow 10 days ago, in contention until weakening from the home turn, but a step forward is required. Beaten long way on recent C&D hurdle/stable debut.
5th	5 5th (5) (4/1 +60%) Just Hannah	4 4/1(+60%)	(5) Just Hannah 4/1, Point winner showed modest form in Ireland for Donal Commins and then Charles Byrnes, failing to land a gamble for the latter yard when eighth of 14 in novice hurdle (11/4) at Tramore (21.6f, good) 34 days ago. Others preferred. Best Irish form gives claims but not at best this year; British debut; hood fitted.
6th	7 6th (7) (25/1 -25%) My Keepsake	25 25/1(-25%)	(7) My Keepsake 25/1, Fair in bumpers but has yet to come close to matching that form over hurdles, no improvement for the application of blinkers in a Doncaster handicap (24.4f, soft) when last seen 18 months ago. Hard to warm to having since left Philip Hobbs. Point winner in May; unplaced in five outings over hurdles two seasons ago.
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (12/1 -50%) Chosen Bae	12 12/1(-50%)	(10) Chosen Bae 12/1, Mount Nelson filly from the family of useful hurdler/high-class staying chaser Burton Port. Runner-up on debut in Irish points before coming home last of 3 finishers latest. Market can guide as to expectations. Placed in both Irish points this spring; worth market look on hurdle debut.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (300/1 -355%) Musical Mistress	300 300/1(-355%)	(6) Musical Mistress 300/1, Pulled up sole start in points and on Rules debut over C&D last month. Tongue strap applied but she's impossible to fancy. Pulled up in a point and on C&D hurdle debut; tongue-strap on.

LTO Selection:

SANDALWOOD appeals most as he tries to go one place better than his good second at Plumpton when last seen. The gelding pulled hard in the early stages that day and, with the drop in trip likely to suit, he could be hard to beat. Clapton Hill is a possible improver with a first-time tongue-tie applied, while similar comments apply to Presenting Nelly, who has scope to progress on only her second outing over hurdles.

PRESENTING NELLY shaped well until her absence told when making her hurdles debut at Southwell late last month. She's fancied to add to her bumper success with improvement anticipated, though Sandalwood is a threat after good efforts in handicaps on his last 2 outings. Clapton Hill has struggled for consistency over hurdles but he also possesses the ability to get involved if putting his best foot forward.

The handicap form of SANDALWOOD entitles him to go very close.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (0.73/1 +42%) Sweet William	0.73 0.73/1(+42%)	(1) Sweet William 0.73/1, Son of Sea The Stars who has finished runner-up on all his three starts, gelded before posting best effort at Southwell (11f) in April. That form has worked out well so he's a player with blinkers on for the first time. Form figures read 222; very solid effort when last seen; leading player in new headgear.
2	5 2nd (5) (12/1 +14%) Tajanis	12 12/1(+14%)	(5) Tajanis 12/1, Very green on both his starts, better effort when third of 5 in maiden over C&D (firm) on latter occasion 19 days ago. Cheekpieces go on now with more to find on form. Finished 8l third over C&D last time; possibilities if helped by first-time headgear.
3	4 3rd (4) (4.5/1 +63%) Mordor	4.5 4.5/1(+63%)	(4) Mordor 4.5/1, Roaring Lion colt who built on his debut fifth when third of 9 in minor event at Newcastle (10.2f) 16 days ago. Should have more to offer over this longer trip. Possibilities. Something to find on bare figures but gives the impression this new trip will suit.
4	6 4th (6) (200/1 -150%) Onemore Twomore	200 200/1(-150%)	(6) Onemore Twomore 200/1, Has offered little in 8.5f Beverley maiden and 10f Chelmsford City novice this summer. Looks to be up against it. Down the field in both runs; has the worst chance on form.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (3/1 +10%) King Of The Plains	3 3/1(+10%)	(3) King Of The Plains 3/1, Roaring Lion colt who has been placed on all his three outings, second of 6 in minor event at Haydock (11.6f, good to firm) 28 days ago. Remains open to improvement and one to consider. Proving consistent, with form figures reading 322; has fairly useful RPRs; in the mix.

LTO Selection:

SWEET WILLIAM may be giving away plenty of weight to his rivals, but his form sets the standard having gone close to the subsequent Queen's Vase runner-up Saint George at Southwell in April. King Of The Plains arrives with a similar profile after finishing second on his last two starts, while Ibrahimovic stepped up when placing in the Ulster Derby at Down Royal.

SWEET WILLIAM has finished second on all his three starts but this half-brother to the Leger winner Hurricane Lane remains with potential and can get off the mark for the Gosden team. Ibrahimovic also has better days ahead of him and is next on the list ahead of Charlie Johnston's consistent King of The Plains.

This good novice event features an interesting clash between SWEET WILLIAM and Ibrahimovic, who both have strong form.

1	9 1st (9) (4.5/1 -64%) Starlore	4.5 4.5/1(-64%)	(9) Starlore 4.5/1, Foaled April 29. Kingman colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including smart winner up to 1¼m Flavius and useful winner Oyster Box. Dam 1m winner. In excellent hands and bred to be useful so he merits serious consideration. Late foal, by Kingman from classy family; needs a close look.

Half-brother to several winners, including French 15f winner Gran Geste and German 1½m winner Glyzinie. No forlorn hope on his initial outing. 135,000gns yearling; stoutly bred, son of Crystal Ocean; perhaps one for later on.
5th	3 5th (3) (12/1 +40%) Devil's Point	12 12/1(+40%)	(3) Devil's Point 12/1, Foaled February 17. €200,000 foal, 475,000 gns yearling, New Bay colt. Half-brother to 7f/7.4f winner Rocket Science and 2-y-o 6.3f winner The Acropolis, both useful. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner. Debutant can't be ruled out. 475,000gns yearling; half-brother to 2 winners, notably The Acropolis (6.3f 2yo; RPR 108).
6th	7 6th (7) (22/1 -83%) Overlooked	22 22/1(-83%)	(7) Overlooked 22/1, Dark Angel colt who was much improved from his debut when third of 13 in minor event at Newbury (6.5f, firm) 22 days ago. May do better still. Third at Newbury (6.5f, good) last time, nearly 1l behind Judge Frank after making most.
7th	2 7th (2) (12/1 +0%) Blue Collar	12 12/1(+0%)	(2) Blue Collar 12/1, 135,000gns yearling. Dam, 1¼m winner, sister to useful 8.3f-1¼m winner Sealife, out of winning half-sister to Melbourne Cup winner Rekindling, an excellent family. This Starspangledbanner colt needs considering. 135,000gns yearling; first foal; dam 1m2f winner (RPR 79); one of two for Richard Hannon.
8th	4 8th (4) (8/1 +11%) Happy Chandler	8 8/1(+11%)	(4) Happy Chandler 8/1, Foaled April 16. Al Kazeem colt. Closely related to smart winner up to 7f Isaac Shelby and half-brother to 2-y-o 9.5f winner Sirya Star. Makes plenty of appeal on paper. In the mix. Closely related to 6.5f/7f winner Isaac Shelby (including Group 3 and 2yo Gr 2; RPR 117).
9th	5 9th (5) (4.5/1 +25%) Judge Frank	4.5 4.5/1(+25%)	(5) Judge Frank 4.5/1, 33/1, second of 13 in minor event at Newbury (6.5f, firm) on debut 22 days ago, nearest finish. This Inns of Court colt can build on it. In the picture. 33-1 for novice at Newbury (6.5f, good) but passed Overlooked close home for second.
10th	8 10th (8) (66/1 -65%) Standbackandlook	66 66/1(-65%)	(8) Standbackandlook 66/1, Foaled March 14. 45,000 gns yearling, U S Navy Flag colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart winner up to 1¼m Certain Lad and useful 1½m-14.4f winner Brandon Castle. Dam maiden. Betting should prove a good indicator. 45,000gns yearling buy, with useful pedigree; trainer has few 2yo turf winners.

LTO Selection:

Overlooked's dam is a half-sister to dual Group 1 winner Kinross and the son of Dark Angel must hold every chance of building on a decent third over an extended 6f at Newbury last month. However, 600,000-euro yearling ARABIAN CROWN rates the one to beat based on his pedigree. A full-brother to German Listed winner Everest Rose, as well as a half-brother to The Juliet Rose and Trade Flow, the son of Dubawi can get the better of Judge Frank, who finished a good second on debut ahead of Overlooked last month. Starlore is another who warrants a market check.

Little form to go on but lots of potential and Sir Michael Stoute's well-related Kingman colt Starlore is taken to emerge on top from fellow newcomer Arabian Crown, who is also bred to be useful and represents the powerful Charlie Appleby team. Happy Chandler is another starting out who could have a say in a novice where the market should prove highly informative.

Judge Frank got the better of Overlooked at Newbury. ARABIAN CROWN is preferred to Starlore among the interesting newcomers

1	4 1st (4) (10/1 +29%) Manor Park	10 10/1(+29%)	(4) Manor Park 10/1, C&D winner but he came in only sixth of 7 in handicap on Flat at Lingfield 36 days ago. Switches to hurdles with a bit to prove. Two C&D wins but still 5lb above highest winning mark so needs career-best effort.
2	1 2nd (1) (3.5/1 -27%) Glorious Zoff	3.5 3.5/1(-27%)	(1) Glorious Zoff 3.5/1, Rejuvenated following a breathing operation and landed 2m Warwick handicap before falling last when in control at Bangor 27 days ago. Can gain compensation despite taking a 4 lb rise. Narrow Warwick winner and unlucky next time; up 4lb so might need more progress.
3	6 3rd (6) (14/1 +13%) Just The Man	14 14/1(+13%)	(6) Just The Man 14/1, It's now 12 runs since his last win in 2022 and only fifth of 6 in handicap hurdle over C&D 30 days ago when retried in cheekpieces. Others appeal more. Behind two of these over C&D last month and now 2-24 as a hurdler.
4	5 4th (5) (4/1 -33%) Coolnaugh Haze	4 4/1(-33%)	(5) Coolnaugh Haze 4/1, Fair handicap hurdler who comes here in good nick, third of 9 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (16f, good) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces go on. Ought to be in the shake-up again. Consistent in all recent starts; change of jockey and cheekpieces could prove the key.
5th	7 5th (7) (5.5/1 +8%) Cabrakan	5.5 5.5/1(+8%)	(7) Cabrakan 5.5/1, Dual winner at Newcastle and Hereford last season. Back to form when second at Uttoxeter latest but needs to brush up his jumping. 2-6 over hurdles and possibly best effort yet when second at Uttoxeter latest.
6th	8 6th (8) (33/1 -18%) Thahab Ifraj	33 33/1(-18%)	(8) Thahab Ifraj 33/1, Capitalised on a falling mark when successful at Fontwell last August but below par all three runs since, last of seven at Hexham 20 days ago. Hard to make a case for. Needs to have benefited from recent return from a break; on a fair mark now.
7th	2 7th (2) (5/1 +9%) Throne Hall	5 5/1(+9%)	(2) Throne Hall 5/1, Useful on the Flat and winner of first 2 starts over hurdles. Below form since though so first-time blinkers need to spark a resurgence. Hasn't really lived up to expectations as a hurdler; blinkers need to give him a boost.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (4/1 +0%) For Pleasure	4 4/1(+0%)	(3) For Pleasure 4/1, Free-going front runner who took a step back in the right direction when fifth of 11 to Glorious Zoff in handicap hurdle at Warwick (16f, good to firm) 44 days ago. Weighted to go well if building on it. Behind Glorious Zoff two starts ago and fell latest; usually makes the running.

LTO Selection:

GLORIOUS ZOFF had the race at his mercy when falling at the last at Bangor last month and he is taken to atone here. The six-year-old was put up 4lb by the handicapper despite that mishap, but it would come as no surprise to see the gelding put the record straight with a clear round. Coolnaugh Haze is a threat with first-time cheekpieces applied, while Throne Hall and Cabrakan are also players at this level.

GLORIOUS ZOFF hasn't looked back since undergoing wind surgery and can make amends for his last-flight fall at Bangor when having the race in safe keeping. For Pleasure took a step back in the right direction when fifth to Fergal O'Brien's improver at Warwick and rates the chief threat ahead of the reliable Coolnaugh Haze.

Plenty to consider but THRONE HALL is selected, in the hope that blinkers have a positive effect.

May settle better dropped to bare 5f in first-time hood; improvement possible; interesting.
2	3 2nd (3) (3.33/1 +5%) Rocket Rodney	3.33 3.33/1(+5%)	(3) Rocket Rodney 3.33/1, Dual winner at 2 yrs (and also runner-up 4 times). Below form both outings this term but wasn't seen to best effect in a valuable handicap at Royal Ascot and this looks easier. Considered. Didn't fare badly in Royal Ascot handicap; well treated on Listed/Group form last summer.
3	2 3rd (2) (7.5/1 -25%) Ready Freddie Go	7.5 7.5/1(-25%)	(2) Ready Freddie Go 7.5/1, Useful colt who returned to form in no uncertain terms when making all in decisive fashion at Catterick last time. Should go well under another positive ride. Posted a career-best performance at Catterick last month, scoring readily.
4	6 4th (6) (3/1 +10%) Hiya Maite	3 3/1(+10%)	(6) Hiya Maite 3/1, Speedy and likeable type who made it 2 from his last 3 at Beverley last time. Another improved effort is required here but hard to rule out in his current mood. Improving 5yo who warrants respect, especially if the ground is slow.
5th	5 5th (5) (6/1 -9%) Nomadic Empire	6 6/1(-9%)	(5) Nomadic Empire 6/1, Back to form recently, sixth at Windsor on latest outing, and he's fairly weighted on his very best form, so not ruled out with a visor back on. Runner-up off 10lb higher in this race two years ago; in the mix.
6th	9 6th (9) (14/1 +36%) Strong Johnson	14 14/1(+36%)	(9) Strong Johnson 14/1, Hasn't won for almost two years and, while he's slipping in the weights, there is no recent indication that he's about to take advantage. Ex-Irish 7yo who has a very unconvincing record for new stable this year.
7th	7 7th (7) (9/1 +25%) Looking For Lynda	9 9/1(+25%)	(7) Looking For Lynda 9/1, Won 2 of his 10 starts last year, standout effort coming when runner-up on handicap debut at York (5.4f, good to soft) in October. Yet to make an impact this term but dropped in grade now. Has finished behind Rocket Rodney a few times, most recently at Royal Ascot.
8th	8 8th (8) (5.5/1 -10%) Miss Brazen	5.5 5.5/1(-10%)	(8) Miss Brazen 5.5/1, Dual winner for Karl Burke last season and built on encouraging yard debut run with an impressive success at Beverley in May. Has remained in top form since and looks likely to go well again. Creditable second in the inaugural 3yo Dash at Epsom last month; one to consider.

LTO Selection:

NOMADIC EMPIRE has been running well enough in defeat of late to suggest that he could be hard to beat in a race of this nature off a mark of 88. Miss Brazen is an obvious threat having hit the crossbar at Epsom last month, although a 2lb rise will make her life tougher here. Others to note are Rocket Rodney, Rogue Lightning and Ready Freddie Go.

ROCKET RODNEY drops in grade and could get the race run to suit, so he's preferred to Hiya Maite and Ready Freddie Go, who both improved to win last time but may take each other on for the lead.

Several have possibilities, most notably the well-treated contenders NOMADIC EMPIRE and Rocket Rodney.

LTO Selection:

ZERO FIGHTER won a claiming maiden at Roscommon and backed that up with a creditable fourth to Overheer in a mile handicap at Leopardstown last month. That looks solid form with the winner again running well at the Curragh last weekend and the booking of Dylan Browne McMonagle adds to confidence. James McAuley has a great record in this type of event and Bringsty, twice successful earlier this year, has filled the runner-up spot on his latest two starts in claimers. Stablemate Sunday Sovereign has tumbled down the ratings in the past 12 months but may find this step up in trip too far. Texas Sun showed promise on both outings last year and is now blinkered after a below par effort on his reappearance, while Coviglia won twice over a mile at Dundalk last year but now reappears after a lengthy absence.

COVIGLIA is the pick on these terms if ready to go starting out for a new yard. Bringsty and Zero Fighter are feared most.

This is a good opportunity for ZERO FIGHTER (nap) who ran a big race on h'cap debut last month and a reproduction of that may be enough

Hampered and eased off in the Wolferton so forgiven that effort. Would have run respectably at Royal Ascot but for bad interference; form chance.
2	3 2nd (3) (1.5/1 +50%) Poker Face	1.5 1.5/1(+50%)	(3) Poker Face 1.5/1, Most progressive last autumn, winning all 3 starts at up to this trip. Asked to make the running in a race with no obvious pace in Group 2 company at Chester (faded only late on) but needs to cast aside a heavy defeat in the Wolferton. Disappointing when 9-1 at Royal Ascot, same race as all of these; has had only six races.
3	4 3rd (4) (1.62/1 -8%) Saga	1.62 1.62/1(-8%)	(4) Saga 1.62/1, Just failed to get up in last year's Britannia fitted with first-time blinkers/tongue tie and having been gelded it was a similar story on his return at Newmarket in first-time cheekpieces (conceded first run and just failed). Fair fifth in the Wolferton and major player on these terms. Fared easily the best of these in Royal Ascot Listed race, coming a creditable fifth of 16.
4	2 4th (2) (4.5/1 +10%) Notre Belle Bete	4.5 4.5/1(+10%)	(2) Notre Belle Bete 4.5/1, Revived in cheekpieces at the end of last year, winning the Easter Classic AW Middle Distance Championships Stakes at Newcastle on Good Friday and keeping on for third behind King of Conquest and Saga at Newmarket last time. Never really a factor in the Wolferton last time. Player if bouncing straight back from his 11th in Listed race at Royal Ascot.

LTO Selection:

Even though SAGA finished a fair fifth in the Wolferton at Royal Ascot last month, he has proven to be capable of better and is fancied to get back in the winning groove. He was only narrowly denied in a competitive handicap at Newmarket in May and should be firmly in the picture if anywhere near that form. Notre Belle Bete is feared most in the hands of William Buick, while Certain Lad completes the shortlist.

All 5 of these contested the Wolferton at Royal Ascot and only SAGA gave his running, albeit Certain Lad and Savvy Victory were hampered. The Gosden 4-y-o isn't totally straightforward but he's just about the pick on these terms. With no obvious pace on, Poker Face may resume forward tactics and he's feared most.

They all ran in the Wolferton. That result points firmly to Saga but it's not so simple with him and SAVVY VICTORY is preferred.

2	8 2nd (8) (2.5/1 +72%) The Height Of Fame	2.5 2.5/1(+72%)	(8) The Height Of Fame 2.5/1, Prolific last season but signed off with a sub-par run at Chepstow 5 months ago and is likely to need this return. Four wins last year; tailed off when last seen in February; may bounce back; front-runner.
3	4 3rd (4) (5/1 +17%) Halifax	5 5/1(+17%)	(4) Halifax 5/1, Gained a deserved first success in handicap at Exeter (2m7f) in February and confirmed his return to form when doubling his tally in a small-field contest at Ffos Las in June. Might have found the race coming too soon at Uttoxeter since. Ground possibly too soft latest and had won previous start; stays well.
4	5 4th (5) (7.5/1 -25%) Tulin	7.5 7.5/1(-25%)	(5) Tulin 7.5/1, Fairly useful hurdler at best for Paul Nicholls and took a step back in right direction when third at Ffos Las on debut for current stable. Worthy of respect in first-time blinkers. Led for long way when third on stable debut; chance may depend on effect of blinkers.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (6/1 +50%) Runswick Bay	6 6/1(+50%)	(3) Runswick Bay 6/1, Runner-up at Fontwell in May but both subsequent runs have been disappointing, leaving him with something to prove. Second in April but not so good since and beaten 40l on latest start.

LTO Selection:

Komedy Kicks finished second last time over an extended 2m2f and she could improve for the step up in distance off the same mark. However, BASHFUL BOY looks the one to be with as he has been in fine form on the Flat recently, securing a double, and returns to this sphere off a mark of 117. He struck off 122 in June last year, which shows he is well treated enough to go in. Pink Eyed Pedro is another to consider.

BASHFUL BOY is handicapped to win in this sphere and has been in excellent form on the Flat lately, so he's a confident choice ahead of Pink Eyed Pedro, who was second at Stratford earlier in the week.

Although he has fallen in his latest two hurdle starts, BASHFUL BOY is still worth chancing.

1	5 1st (5) (0.62/1 +65%) Grand Providence	0.62 0.62/1(+65%)	(5) Grand Providence 0.62/1, Nathaniel filly who confirmed earlier promise when winning Kempton novice last month. More to come up in trip for handicap bow. Unexposed; likely to build on Kempton novice success and do well in handicaps; respected.
2	3 2nd (3) (4/1 -33%) Temporize	4 4/1(-33%)	(3) Temporize 4/1, Ran creditably after 5 months when third of 7 in handicap at Newmarket (14f, good, 13/2) 13 days ago, needing stiffer test. Can make presence felt. 0-10 in handicaps but ran encouragingly at Newmarket most recently; not ruled out.
3	2 3rd (2) (11/1 -22%) Qoya	11 11/1(-22%)	(2) Qoya 11/1, Fairly useful winner for William Haggas last season. However, just modest form over hurdles for this yard this year (has bled) so something to prove in first-time headgear returned to this sphere. Mixed results over hurdles for new yard; goes in headgear back on Flat.
4	4 4th (4) (18/1 -140%) Mukha Magic	18 18/1(-140%)	(4) Mukha Magic 18/1, Very much had the run of the race when enhancing his excellent record at Chelmsford 2 weeks ago but 3 lb rise still leaves him nicely treated on old form. Most wins in lower grades, including latest start; return to Class 4 demands more.
5th	1 5th (1) (6/1 -100%) Isle Of Sark	6 6/1(-100%)	(1) Isle Of Sark 6/1, Looked rusty on first outing since leaving Joseph Patrick O'Brien and duly stepped up on that when third at Nottingham last month, nearest finish. Should stay this far and may do better still for this yard. Ran well over 1m6f on second start for new stable, shaping as if 2m will suit; player.

LTO Selection:

GRAND PROVIDENCE has improved with every start to date and the daughter of Nathaniel got off the mark over 1m3f at Kempton last month. Andrew Balding's filly could be hard to stop on her handicap bow if seeing out this significant step up in trip. If the selection fails to stay, then Isle Of Sark may be the main beneficiary, ahead of Temporize.

ISLE OF SARK stepped up on his comeback run when third at Nottingham last month and remains well treated on the pick of his Irish form. He shades the vote over 3-y-o filly Grand Providence, who should be suited by this longer trip on handicap bow.

The vote goes to handicap debutante GRAND PROVIDENCE (nap), who should improve further. Isle Of Sark is feared most.

Gelded since. Up in trip. Beaten a long way at Listowel; gelded since but is stable second-string and best watched.
6th	8 6th (8) (14/1 -27%) Vangelis	14 14/1(-27%)	(8) Vangelis 14/1, Twice-raced gelding who showed more than first time up when fourth of 14 in maiden (66/1) at Down Royal (7f, good) 14 days ago. Just behind Harry The Rogue and State's Evidence at Down Royal last time; can be involved.
7th	10 7th (10) (16/1 +60%) Chou Chou	16 16/1(+60%)	(10) Chou Chou 16/1, Well held in maiden (14/1) at the Curragh (6f, good to soft) on debut 42 days ago. Up in trip. Beaten 9l over 6f at the Curragh on debut; should have improved but still come up short.
8th	6 8th (6) (200/1 -300%) So Diligent	200 200/1(-300%)	(6) So Diligent 200/1, Foaled April 2. 10,000 gns foal, 4,000 gns yearling, Due Diligence gelding. Half-brother to useful 7f-9f winner Helm Rock and 1¼m winner Ravioli. Dam ungenuine 1¼m/11f winner. 4,000gns yearling; will have to be smart to beat some of these on debut so best watched.

LTO Selection:

STATE'S EVIDENCE showed his inexperience on debut at Down Royal before the penny really started to drop in the final furlong and he came home strongly to take third behind Lia Fail. The Ger Lyons-trained colt can reverse places with Harry The Rogue, who had the benefit of a run and was half-a-length ahead in second, given normal improvement. Vangelis was close up in fourth and is another that should win races. Warnie was set a big task on debut in the Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot and showed he certainly wasn't out of place when beaten less than three lengths in mid-division. This represents a significant drop in class and the son of Highland Reel rates a big threat. The Paddy Twomey-trained Cill Mocheallog has a speedy pedigree while Captain Maverick is another newcomer to note.

WARNIE wasn't beaten all that far in the Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot on his debut 13 days ago and is taken to get off the mark at the second attempt in these calmer waters. State's Evidence is considered a major threat though, as he appeals as the sort to improve markedly on a promising first run at Down Royal a fortnight ago. Cill Mocheallog is a newcomer to note.

It was a bold move to run WARNIE in the Chesham Stakes on debut but he held his own and he can take this.

1	2 1st (2) (14/1 -27%) He's A Latchico	14 14/1(-27%)	(2) He's A Latchico 14/1, Won 3 times on the AW and shaped as if better for the run at Windsor in the spring. Has won a couple of handicap hurdles since, so not dismissed back on the level. Needs a Flat career best but did well on AW early last year and won last two over hurdles.
2	11 2nd (11) (3.33/1 +5%) Miss Cynthia	3.33 3.33/1(+5%)	(11) Miss Cynthia 3.33/1, Relished the longer trip and pulled clear with another promising sort when second at Yarmouth a week ago. Should go on improving and good shout. Much improved upped to 1m6f when second of five at Yarmouth last Friday; due to go up 3lb.
3	4 3rd (4) (12/1 +14%) Percy Jones	12 12/1(+14%)	(4) Percy Jones 12/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in December and creditable efforts so far this year, clear of the remainder when second at Chester 20 days ago. Should give another good account but vulnerable to less-exposed types. Running respectably in handicaps (2m latest) but others persuade more for win purposes.
4	8 4th (8) (28/1 +0%) Militry Decoration	28 28/1(+0%)	(8) Militry Decoration 28/1, Latest win at Southwell in December. Back to form when third at Goodwood last time and has a tongue tie refitted now, but others look better treated. Had wind surgery before latest start, when running respectably; a case can be made.
5th	12 5th (12) (18/1 -13%) Balboa	18 18/1(-13%)	(12) Balboa 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden who made an inauspicious start to handicapping career when last at Wolverhampton 116 days ago. Returns with a bit to prove. Last of six on handicap debut in March last time; now upped in trip and makes turf debut.
6th	5 6th (5) (11/1 +31%) Haarar	11 11/1(+31%)	(5) Haarar 11/1, Pretty expensive to follow of late though has been unsuited by a steady pace the last twice and might get more favourable circumstances in this bigger field. Two wins last year and usually runs respectably; probably stays 1m6f.
7th	10 7th (10) (5/1 +9%) Seahouses	5 5/1(+9%)	(10) Seahouses 5/1, Signs of encouragement on each of his 3 outings to date, taking another step forward when third in a maiden at Goodwood last time. More to come now handicapping, so merits respect. Close third of six in Goodwood maiden (1m6f, good) two weeks ago; may have got in lightly.
8th	13 8th (13) (3.33/1 +39%) Lionella	3.33 3.33/1(+39%)	(13) Lionella 3.33/1, In good order this year and found some improvement to land a C&D handicap 3 weeks ago. No reason why she won't progress further, so likely to be on the premises again. Asserted late on in five-runner handicap over C&D (good) three weeks ago; 5lb higher.
9th	9 9th (9) (4.5/1 -13%) Liable	4.5 4.5/1(-13%)	(9) Liable 4.5/1, Promising sort who was well positioned when runner-up in a maiden at Salisbury last time. Pedigree suggests he's capable of better, so notable handicap debutant. It is easy to envisage him staying this trip; one to note on handicap debut.
10th	7 10th (7) (16/1 +27%) Further Measure	16 16/1(+27%)	(7) Further Measure 16/1, Completed a quick double at Wolverhampton in June but returns to turf in a more competitive environment, so big effort required if he's to land the hat-trick. Had 1m4f and 1m6f wins on AW on last two starts; could have more to offer at this trip.
11th	6 11th (6) (25/1 +50%) Sea Appeal	25 25/1(+50%)	(6) Sea Appeal 25/1, Fairly useful handicapper at best but hasn't been firing this year. Soundly beaten this term over 1m2f, 1m4f and 1m6f; down the weights.

LTO Selection:

Liable has improved for each outing to date, with the latest effort coming when runner-up at Salisbury over 1m4f, and he now takes a further step up in trip on his handicap bow. However, the one to side with is MISS CYNTHIA. The daughter of Sea The Moon is the type her trainer Sir Mark Prescott does so well with, and she was over eight lengths clear of the third when finishing second at Yarmouth latest. Motazzen is another interesting contender.

MISS CYNTHIA relished the longer trip and pulled clear with another promising sort when second at Yarmouth a week ago, so she makes plenty of appeal as she bids to go one better from the same mark. Recent C&D winner Lionella is a big danger and Seahouses looks an interesting handicap debutant.

The 3yos are far less exposed and bring more potential, with LIABLE given the vote ahead of Miss Cynthia and Lionella.

1	1 1st (1) (12/1 -85%) Mr Mafia	12 12/1(-85%)	(1) Mr Mafia 12/1, Has been given a chance by the handicapper (now 7 lb lower than for his Ludlow success last spring), but this veteran ran no sort of a race at Huntingdon when last seen in November and now has something to prove. Won off 7lb higher in May 2022 but not in great form when last seen in the autumn.
2	5 2nd (5) (3/1 +33%) O'Faolains Lad	3 3/1(+33%)	(5) O'Faolains Lad 3/1, Managed to complete for the first time since returning from a lengthy absence when third of 11 at Ffos Las (23.8f, good to firm) in May, but he was beaten a fair way and 5 lb 'wrong' at the weights here. Has undergone a wind op. Three non-completions on return from long absence but better latest and wind op since.
3	3 3rd (3) (1.25/1 +34%) Investment Manager	1.25 1.25/1(+34%)	(3) Investment Manager 1.25/1, Winning hurdler who opened his chase account at Exeter (19.2f, heavy) in April. Creditable second over this C&D in first-time blinkers (retained) last time but made hard work of things and by no means certain to back that effort up. Has undergone a wind op. Back to form with C&D second latest; wind surgery since and tongue-strap also fitted.
4	4 4th (4) (4.5/1 -13%) D'Jango	4.5 4.5/1(-13%)	(4) D'Jango 4.5/1, Won 3 times during busy 2022/23 campaign, with his latest success at Lingfield in February. More miss than hit since but he didn't run badly in this headgear combination when second in a small-field Market Rasen handicap (27.6f, good) last time. Inconsistent but on a competitive mark if on a good day.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (5.5/1 -65%) Danny Whizzbang	5.5 5.5/1(-65%)	(2) Danny Whizzbang 5.5/1, It's been a struggle since he last got his head in front at Huntingdon in April 2022 and has failed to complete on each of his last 3 starts (all over hurdles). However, resumes in this sphere on a potentially handy mark and with his yard in fine form. Out of sorts over hurdles and plenty to prove now returning to chases.

LTO Selection:

DANNY WHIZZBANG has dropped to an appealing mark for the Milton Harris yard and he gets the vote now returning to fences after falling at Huntingdon last time over hurdles. Investment Manager was a long way clear of the third when second over C&D last time in this grade and he should be thereabouts off 1lb higher, while D'jango isn't out of it either.

With the Milton Harris yard going great guns, DANNY WHIZZBANG could be the answer returned to this sphere on an attractive mark and with Harry Cobden up. Given his somewhat in-and-out profile, it remains to be seen if Investment Manager will be able to back up his latest C&D effort, but he is nevertheless feared most ahead of D'Jango.

The likeliest winner appears to be INVESTMENT MANAGER (nap).

Has only completed once in four starts over hurdles, that when well beaten at Tramore.

LTO Selection:

There are plenty in here with solid placed form and SUTTONS HILL may be able to get his turn. The Arcadio gelding has been knocking on the door and has been runner-up on his last couple of outings, including when narrowly denied at Listowel last time. Littlefoot is another who has hit the crossbar on several occasions, including when chasing home My Gaffer on his hurdling debut at Limerick in late May. He had Master Splinter in behind in fourth then and may be able to confirm placings. Willie Mullins runs Chrisco, who has to be respected. He has been third on all three starts to date, albeit well held on each occasion.

LITTLEFOOT made a promising start in this sphere when runner-up in a big field at Limerick and this useful bumper sort can get off the mark at the chief expense of Valsorpresa, who didn't enjoy the rub of the green when fourth at Down Royal and remains with potential. Chrisco and Suttons Hill appeal as the pick of the rest and can fight it out for minor honours.

Fairly competitive but LITTLEFOOT is bred to appreciate this distance and has done very little wrong in his career to date

5th	1 5th (1) (2/1 +20%) Game Breaker	2 2/1(+20%)	(1) Game Breaker 2/1, Soldier's Call filly who had clearly derived plenty from her debut effort when second in 12-runner Thirsk novice (6f, soft) 17 days ago, keeping on without proving a match for the winner. Handy draw to operate from and sound claims with prospect of more to come. 2l to find with Ziggy's Queen on debut effort; good second upped to 6f since then.
6th	6 6th (6) (100/1 -525%) Queens Road Revue	100 100/1(-525%)	(6) Queens Road Revue 100/1, Foaled April 3. Pastoral Pursuits filly. Sister to useful 5f-6f winner East Street Revue and half-sister to 7f-1¼m winner Autumn Revue. Dam winner up to 7f (2-y-o 5f winner). Dam and brother have done well for same owner and trainer, though neither won on debut.
7th	4 7th (4) (25/1 -25%) Mammy	25 25/1(-25%)	(4) Mammy 25/1, Twice-raced maiden. 18/1, fifth of 10 in maiden at Ripon (5f, good) 16 days ago, unable to land a blow but not knocked about. Nurseries may be more her bag on the back of this. Work to do to reverse Ripon form with Ziggy's Queen, though stiffer 5f rates a plus.
8th	2 8th (2) (40/1 -150%) Inns Of York	40 40/1(-150%)	(2) Inns Of York 40/1, Foaled April 25. €80,000 yearling, Inns of Court filly. Half-sister to several winners, including yard's smart sprinter Acklam Express and useful winner up to 7f Maglev. Dam maiden (stayed 6f). Stable's newcomers usually better for a run. Lots of appeal as a 2yo sprinter on paper, if not quite sufficient for a winning debut.
9th	8 9th (8) (28/1 -133%) Stage Door	28 28/1(-133%)	(8) Stage Door 28/1, Soldier's Call filly. 5/1, showed a bit when fifth of 6 in minor event at Ripon (5f, soft) on debut 78 days ago, not clear run over 2f out and not knocked about. May well do better. Weakening debut effort on soft, but given over two months to strengthen up; can do better.

LTO Selection:

ZIGGY'S QUEEN, whose Ripon second to Indespensable was emphatically franked when the latter finished fourth in the Listed Empress Stakes at Newmarket on Saturday, is difficult to oppose in this company. She is ideally drawn and, with further progress very likely, she may have too many gears for Game Breaker and Stage Door. Given Karl Burke sent out two of the last three winners of this race, Rocket Money also commands respect.

ZIGGY'S QUEEN stepped up markedly on her debut effort when running on for second in a Ripon maiden (5f) 16 days ago and, with further progress anticipated, she can go one place better from a handy draw. Game Breaker, representing Ralph Beckett rates the chief threat, ahead of Lady Nunthorpe and Mecca's Duchess.

Game Breaker and ZIGGY'S QUEEN are the ones to concentrate on, with the latter's last-time second gaining her the vote.

1	1 (1) (16/1 +52%) Woodlands Charm	16 16/1(+52%)	(1) Woodlands Charm 16/1, Returned to form when hitting the crossbar at Catterick (6f, good to firm) last month. Failed to land a blow at Ripon next time, though, and couldn't be sure that this step up in trip is what she wants. Raced mostly at 6f; going into unknown territory over this extra furlong.
1	4 1st (4) (0.8/1 +27%) Kimnkate	0.8 0.8/1(+27%)	(4) Kimnkate 0.8/1, Improved when opening her account on the AW last month and duly followed up back on turf at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) 4 days later. Found one too good in hat-trick bid at Windsor recently but shaped like the best horse at the weights there and remains ahead of the handicapper under a penalty. Has form figures of 112 since blinkered; due to race off 8lb higher from tomorrow.
2	8 2nd (8) (9/1 +44%) She's The Danger	9 9/1(+44%)	(8) She's The Danger 9/1, Sole turf win was registered over this C&D off a 9 lb higher mark last June. Mixed bag since, but she wasn't disgraced in a 6f handicap here last time and it would be no surprise were she to play a part in the finish. Defied a 9lb higher mark over C&D last summer; inconsistent since.
3	3 3rd (3) (3/1 -9%) Alseeyerthere	3 3/1(-9%)	(3) Alseeyerthere 3/1, Related to some prolific winners and built on reappearance/handicap debut promise when scoring in good style at Redcar (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago. Up 8 lb but this lightly-raced mare should have more to offer. Unexposed 5yo; likely to build on her Redcar success and commands respect.
4	9 4th (9) (20/1 +20%) So Chic	20 20/1(+20%)	(9) So Chic 20/1, Gained breakthrough success off this mark at Wolverhampton in March, but has failed to make much of an impact since and she has yet to show any spark on turf. Sole win came on AW; well held back on turf last time.
5th	6 5th (6) (18/1 +0%) Belinda Bell	18 18/1(+0%)	(6) Belinda Bell 18/1, Failed to build on debut promise a 2 yrs and while she got back on track to an extent when second in a 4-runner maiden at Musselburgh (7.2f, good) last time, she already looks rather exposed. Creditable second in Musselburgh maiden most recently; this is harder.
6th	5 6th (5) (14/1 +44%) Vasilissa	14 14/1(+44%)	(5) Vasilissa 14/1, Dual winner of 7f handicaps at Kempton during the spring but has come up short returned to turf the last twice. Others preferred. Scored twice on AW this spring; disappointing in two starts back on turf.
7th	7 7th (7) (14/1 +13%) Dance Angel	14 14/1(+13%)	(7) Dance Angel 14/1, Found some improvement when opening her account in a 7f Catterick maiden last month, but that wasn't a particularly strong race and more is needed now pitched into a handicap. Hit with 10lb rise for Catterick maiden win but still looks unexposed.

LTO Selection:

ALSEEYERTHERE broke her maiden tag in fine style at Redcar a couple of weeks ago and the unexposed five-year-old merits the utmost respect, despite an 8lb rise in the ratings. Dance Angel also got off the mark on her most recent outing and she has to be of some interest on her handicap bow. The in-form Kimnkate edges out Belinda Bell to be best of the rest.

This looks between ALSEEYERTHERE and Kimnkate, both of whom arrive here with progressive profiles. The latter pulled clear of the rest when second to one who had the run of things from the front at Windsor recently and is not passed over at all lightly. However, Alseeyerthere showcased a good turn of foot when opening her account at Redcar and an 8 lb rise may not be enough to prevent her from going in again, with further improvement likely. C&D winner She's The Danger is best of the rest.

Judged on breeding, there should be more progress and further success to come from ALSEEYERTHERE. Kimnkate is feared most.

1	2 1st (2) (5/1 +17%) Imposing Supreme	5 5/1(+17%)	(2) Imposing Supreme 5/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 10/1, respectable sixth of 22 in handicap at the Curragh (9f, good) 7 days ago, faring best of those held up.

4	8 4th (8) (12/1 +25%) Punk Poet	12 12/1(+25%)	(8) Punk Poet 12/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Seventeenth of 18 in handicap (11/1) at the Curragh (7f, soft) 67 days ago.

10th	12 10th (12) (40/1 +0%) The Shootlist	40 40/1(+0%)	(12) The Shootlist 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eleventh of 14 in handicap at Gowran (9.4f, soft, 50/1) 58 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Outran odds in maiden on return from lengthy absence but struggled since incl' h'cap debut.

Latest win at Nottingham in May. 11/2, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Thirsk (8f, good) 48 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Gemma Tutty. Thwarted in hat-trick bid latest; possible h'capper may have caught up; yard debut.

14th	11 14th (11) (50/1 -25%) Turbine	50 50/1(-25%)	(11) Turbine 50/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2020 and offered little on first run since leaving C. Moore when 11¾ lengths twelfth of 14 to Chestnutter in handicap at Leopardstown (7.2f, good, 40/1) 15 days ago. Has work to do. Only 1 win since 2016; well held on return/yard debut; fair mark if he can bounce back.

LTO Selection:

IMPOSING SUPREME has steadily dropped down in the ratings over the past 12 months to slip into this grade and looks ready to add to his tally of four career wins. The Tom Gibney-trained gelding has shown promise on a couple of occasions this year and didn't enjoy the clearest of passages at the Curragh last Friday. The combination of a positive ride and removing headgear helped Chestnutter open her account at Leopardstown last month with the consistent Fastman about two lengths back in fifth. Chestnutter followed up in style at Tipperary on Wednesday and is an obvious threat if turning out again.

CHESTNUTTER has responded well to positive tactics in recent weeks and looks up to completing the hat-trick in her current vein of form. Fastman seems sure to give another good account, with Punk Poet and Arch Enemy others to consider.

Provided that the ground doesn't get too soft, FASTMAN, should give a good account with the step back up to 1m sure to suit

1	12 1st (12) (14/1 +0%) Gavi Di Gavi	14 14/1(+0%)	(12) Gavi Di Gavi 14/1, The most recent of his 7 wins on the AW was gained at Wolverhampton in February. Turf record stands at 0-9 having finished down the field at Newbury (1¼m, firm) last time, but he shaped better than the distance beaten there and dropping back to this trip looks a good move. 0-9 on turf as opposed to 7-34 on AW; return to 1m will help but others appeal more.
2	1 2nd (1) (1/1 +67%) Roman Dynasty	1 1/1(+67%)	(1) Roman Dynasty 1/1, Confirmed promise of previous run when landing 10-runner handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm, 3/1) last week, forging clear. 5 lb penalty to carry now but remains feasibly treated on old form. Engaged 4.00 Yarmouth Thursday. Bolted up at Nottingham last week; well in under penalty; closing 2nd at Yarmouth Thursday.
3	4 3rd (4) (9/1 -38%) Goldsmith	9 9/1(-38%)	(4) Goldsmith 9/1, Dual AW winner during the winter and good third back from a break at Lingfield in March. However, not so good next 2 starts and he's 0-5 on turf, but represents last year's winning trainer-jockey combination and dangerous to discount. Won his first 2 runs for this yard (1m2f, AW) but stalled more recently; turf form patchy.
4	3 4th (3) (6.5/1 -86%) Marsh Benham	6.5 6.5/1(-86%)	(3) Marsh Benham 6.5/1, Produced a career best when resuming winning ways in 11-runner handicap at Chepstow (1m, good to firm) in May. Followed up over 7f at Brighton since and booking of Serena Brotherton is an obvious plus, but 5 lb rise for latest success forces him into a higher grade. Chasing a hat-trick after Class 6 wins at Chepstow and Brighton; shortlist material.
5th	10 5th (10) (18/1 -140%) Imperial Cult	18 18/1(-140%)	(10) Imperial Cult 18/1, Improved third in a first-time hood on handicap debut/sole start for Mark Pattinson at Lingfield (1½m, AW) in February. Better than the bare result when runner-up at Kempton (11f) with hood discarded for new yard last month, but this drop back in trip is of dubious benefit now returned to turf. Two good runs in middle-distance handicaps; drop back to 1m not sure to suit.
6th	11 6th (11) (8/1 +27%) Brilliant Blue	8 8/1(+27%)	(11) Brilliant Blue 8/1, Couple of decent efforts at 2 yrs and while there was little to shout about last season, he took a step back in the right direction following a wind op when placed over this trip at Brighton and Yarmouth in May. Appeared to find 1¼m too much of a test last time and claims back down in trip here. 14-race maiden but he's on a lowly mark and the return to 1m will suit; not ruled out.
7th	7 7th (7) (8/1 +56%) Hoots Toots	8 8/1(+56%)	(7) Hoots Toots 8/1, Back-to-back winner over a mile at Southwell on final 2 starts of last season, and opened account on turf when returning to action at Thirsk (7f, soft) in April. However, she was nearer last than first off this 5 lb higher mark at Doncaster next time. Progress stalled at Doncaster last time but unexposed and his yard are going well.
8th	6 8th (6) (7.5/1 +32%) Luna Magic	7.5 7.5/1(+32%)	(6) Luna Magic 7.5/1, Shaped well when fourth of 12 back from a break at Newbury last month and made all in a 5-runner Chepstow handicap (1¼m, good to firm) a day later. Recent effort at Newcastle was uninspiring, though, and she'll probably find a few too good here. Flopped on AW last week but in good form on turf beforehand; should bounce back.
9th	2 9th (2) (28/1 -133%) Brunel Charm	28 28/1(-133%)	(2) Brunel Charm 28/1, Good record on the AW (winner 3 times and placed on 14 occasions from 30 starts on synthetics) but his 5 runs on turf have not amounted to much. Fair winner on AW but yet to convince on turf; others look more persuasive.
10th	8 10th (8) (66/1 -65%) Keeper's Choice	66 66/1(-65%)	(8) Keeper's Choice 66/1, Went close off 10 lb higher at Chester last summer but has failed to reproduce that level of form since, including when last of 10 on return at Bath in May, and she's on a losing-run stretching back over 2 years. Low-key return in May; down in weights but coming here with too much to prove.
11th	9 11th (9) (50/1 +24%) Sir Plato	50 50/1(+24%)	(9) Sir Plato 50/1, Winner off this mark at Chepstow for Rod Millman last June and also placed on a number of occasions in 2022. Little impact in 3 starts for present connections, though, and needs to bounce back in a major way. Prolific for former yard but three heavy defeats for his current one.

LTO Selection:

MARSH BENHAM is two wins from his last two starts, with the latest of those wins coming at Brighton over 7f, where he went in by just under two lengths and was well on top at the line. Hoots Toots could get competitive if he runs to the level of his penultimate success at Thirsk, while you can also make a good case for Luna Magic if she can recapture the form of her comfortable Chepstow success.

Though winless following 14 attempts, BRILLIANT BLUE is of strong interest back at a mile. Indeed, the 4-y-o shaped well on his first 2 starts of the season prior to appearing to run out of petrol in the closing stages upped to 1¼m at Lingfield. Goldsmith merits respect for all that he's yet to shine on turf. Roman Dynasty would obviously be a huge player if he were to line up for this (due to run at Yarmouth Thursday).

Hoots Toots could get back on the up here but the hat-trick seeking MARSH BENHAM is preferred.

Showed some ability when second in 6-runner C&D event on debut 23 days ago and may do better. Second over C&D on debut last month; probably needs to improve.

Dam (h97) 2m hurdle winner (stayed 2½m). Some appeal on breeding; stable has modest record in bumpers but is in good form.

LTO Selection:

Olivers Travels struck on his debut under Rules at Worcester when accounting for his nearest rival by three lengths and he ought to have a say once again, but the five-year-old could find it tough to give a 7lb penalty away to MAILLOT VERT. The son of Dunaden showed enough promise on his racecourse bow over C&D to suggest that he has the ability required to take this. Any market support for newcomer Sangiovese should be noted.

OLIVERS TRAVELS opened his Rules account at the first attempt in ready fashion at Worcester 16 days ago and looks up to defying a penalty in a race of this nature on that evidence. Maillot Vert showed some ability on his C&D debut and is fancied to give the selection most to do, though a market move for newcomer Sangiovese would be noteworthy.

After winning what looked a stronger contest at Worcester, OLIVERS TRAVELS can defy the penalty.

ATLANTIC WONDER ran a big race when second at Roscommon last time and looks capable of landing a contest of this standard. The six-year-old came to dispute two from home then before giving way in the closing stages to finish second to Prioritise. He is still relatively lightly raced and could improve once again. Hard Target ran a solid race to finish third at Kilbeggan last time and off the same mark he has to be on the shortlist here. Likewise, Ricky Langford was also placed last time at the same venue and is another that has to come into consideration.

ATLANTIC WONDER is improving by the run and looks the way to go on the back of his very good Roscommon second. In-form C&D scorer Ricky Langford is feared most, although Leroy Leroy needs considering too having hinted at a revival when third behind Tony Martin's 6-y-o last time.

A good gallop will be important for ATLANTIC WONDER to enable him to settle effectively; if getting it, he'll be hard to beat

17:50 Beverley Handicap (Class 4) 5f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (8/1 -23%) Sound Reason	8 8/1(-23%)	(6) Sound Reason 8/1, C&D winner. 14/1, very good second of 8 in handicap at Ayr (5f, firm) 13 days ago, bouncing back to form reverting to front-running tactics. Handy draw to employ similar tactics from here if he can back that up. Made most when second at Ayr latest (5f, good); behind two of these over C&D previously.
2	7 2nd (7) (4.5/1 -29%) Desert Games	4.5 4.5/1(-29%)	(7) Desert Games 4.5/1, Maiden who has improved for the fitting of a visor, second in an 11-runner C&D handicap prior to filling same spot at Newcastle (5f) 8 days ago. Looks up to defying this sort of mark on that evidence and shortlisted. 0-6 but a big improver in a visor of late, including here; 3lb well in after latest second.
3	11 3rd (11) (22/1 -83%) Paddy's Day	22 22/1(-83%)	(11) Paddy's Day 22/1, Latest win at Lingfield in March. 28/1, stepped up plenty on yard debut effort when second of 7 in handicap at Redcar (5f, good to firm) 13 days ago, running on. This stiff finish will help judged on latest run. Redcar second latest was his best effort to date; 1lb above his winning mark.
4	4 4th (4) (2.75/1 +31%) Princess Karine	2.75 2.75/1(+31%)	(4) Princess Karine 2.75/1, 7/4, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Carlisle (5f, good to soft) 35 days ago, running out a convincing winner. Can't be ruled despite a career-high mark to defy now. Big strides of late, culminating in easy Carlisle win; among likeliest despite 8lb rise.
5th	2 5th (2) (16/1 -14%) Rathbone	16 16/1(-14%)	(2) Rathbone 16/1, Not the easiest to catch right but responded well to refitting of cheekpieces when second of 13 in handicap at Pontefract (6f) 12 days ago. Well treated if backing that up but another with a less-than-ideal draw to contend with. Alternating between bad and good runs so far in 2023; unraced over 5f since August 2019.
6th	8 6th (8) (12/1 -9%) Sugar Baby	12 12/1(-9%)	(8) Sugar Baby 12/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Thirsk in June. 11/4, good second of 7 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good) 14 days ago, edged out close home. This rates tougher but he's clearly in rude health at present. Career-best RPRs for Class 6 Thirsk win and Class 4 Musselburgh near-miss the last twice.
7th	3 7th (3) (50/1 -79%) Sun Power	50 50/1(-79%)	(3) Sun Power 50/1, Dual winner at 7f for Darryll Holland in 2021. Very lightly raced since and never threatened in trio of AW starts for David Evans earlier this year. Others make greater appeal returning to turf for new yard. Thrown in on peak form on either surface; untried over 5f since his debut in 2019.
8th	13 8th (13) (12/1 +0%) Lord Abama	12 12/1(+0%)	(13) Lord Abama 12/1, 11/4, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) 25 days ago, effort over 1f out and keeping on. Consistency is hard to knock and fitting of a first-time visor may put an extra edge on him here. Consistent frame-hitter for current connections, albeit at 6f; visor added down in trip.
9th	5 9th (5) (20/1 +0%) Majeski Man	20 20/1(+0%)	(5) Majeski Man 20/1, C&D winner. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Nottingham in May. 5/1, twelfth of 17 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 26 days ago. 5f wins here (C&D) and Nottingham in May; struggled back over C&D off today's mark latest.
10th	12 10th (12) (28/1 -12%) Newyorkstateofmind	28 28/1(-12%)	(12) Newyorkstateofmind 28/1, Latest win at Hamilton (5f) in June. 15/2, good third of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 7 days ago, grabbing a place final 50 yds. This looks more demanding from a high draw, however. Immediately back on track at Newcastle latest (5f); 2lb well in, and couldn't rule out.
11th	9 11th (9) (5.5/1 +73%) Hail Sezer	5.5 5.5/1(+73%)	(9) Hail Sezer 5.5/1, Noted clearly travelling best and unlucky not to win back from 6 months off at Wetherby (5.5f) in May, not clear run from 2f out and collared dying strides. Shaped as if amiss at Thirsk (6f) since but bounce back anticipated with yard in good nick. Luckless nose second at Wetherby two runs back (5.5f); untried at bare 5f since June 2021.
12th	1 12th (1) (80/1 -60%) Embour	80 80/1(-60%)	(1) Embour 80/1, Enjoyed a productive spell on AW during the winter, winning 3 times at up to 6f. Lost all chance start on return from 3 months off when last of 6 in a C&D handicap 17 days ago and wide draw here not ideal. Mercurial profile over past 12 months; three wins in that time but last over C&D latest.
13th	10 13th (10) (11/1 +21%) The Dunkirk Lads	11 11/1(+21%)	(10) The Dunkirk Lads 11/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in April. Creditable 1¼ lengths third of 8 to Majeski Man in handicap at this C&D (good, 7/2) 52 days ago. Good pace to aim at here will aid his cause but he remains 1 lb above last winning mark. Win and third over C&D the last twice (both good to soft); bigger field a possible concern.
14th	14 14th (14) (16/1 -60%) Indian Sounds	16 16/1(-60%)	(14) Indian Sounds 16/1, C&D winner who ended a lengthy losing run at Pontefract (5f) in June and well placed by connections to follow up at Ripon (6f) later last month. Steps back up in grade in pursuit of hat-trick but he remains with plenty of handicapping scope. Possibilities. Back in form with Pontefract (5f) and Ripon (6f) wins last month, but this looks tougher.

LTO Selection:

Rathbone has been unlucky with the draw but he is wily enough to still give a good account. The in-form Indian Sounds is a previous C&D winner who is not ruled out despite running off 7lb higher than his recent Ripon success. However, slight preference is for THE DUNKIRK LADS, who is still well treated off just 5lb higher than his own C&D success in April. Majeski Man and Newyorkstateofmind are also noted.

Plenty arrive with claims, including DESERT GAMES, who has improved for the application of a visor, runner-up over C&D prior to filling the same spot at Newcastle 8 days ago. Well up to defying this sort of mark on that evidence, he gets the nod to come out on top, with thriving-pair Indian Sounds and Princess Karine next best. The Dunkirk Lads also makes each-way appeal.

An improver since visored, DESERT GAMES gets the nod over the thriving Princess Karine.

17:55 Bellewstown Maiden 5f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	6 1st (6) (3.5/1 -40%) Mythical Phoenix	3.5 3.5/1(-40%)	(6) Mythical Phoenix 3.5/1, Twice-raced gelding. Second of 10 in maiden at Naas (5.9f, good to firm, 28/1) 9 days ago. Leading player. Improved on his debut 1m run when just beaten over 6f last time; has the speed for 5f.
2	4 2nd (4) (9/1 -64%) Double Jabbed	9 9/1(-64%)	(4) Double Jabbed 9/1, Thrice-raced gelding. Fifth of 10 in maiden (16/1) at Naas (5.9f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Not dismissed. Fine efforts in 6f maidens last twice; shows speed so the drop in trip looks a plus.
3	7 3rd (7) (2/1 +78%) Rathbranchurch	2 2/1(+78%)	(7) Rathbranchurch 2/1, Fair gelding. Remains a maiden after 7 Flat runs. Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap (5/1) at Down Royal (5f, good) 14 days ago. Consistent enough in handicaps lately but will have to step up to take this.
4	3 4th (3) (20/1 +9%) Different Look	20 20/1(+9%)	(3) Different Look 20/1, Thrice-raced filly. First run since leaving Kevin Ryan when fifth of 10 in maiden at Cork (5f, good to soft, 66/1) 21 days ago, needing stiffer test. Ran a solid race on return from a long absence at Cork; has 4l to find with Jacks Gold.
5th	8 5th (8) (50/1 -150%) Brookie Cookie	50 50/1(-150%)	(8) Brookie Cookie 50/1, €72,000 yearling, Ribchester filly. Closely related to winner up to 1m Denzille Lane and half-sister to smart 6f-7f winner Almargo and useful 5f/6f winner Tanasoq. Cost 72,000euros as a yearling and is related to plenty of winners; worth a market check.
6th	2 6th (2) (4.5/1 +31%) Beaumadier	4.5 4.5/1(+31%)	(2) Beaumadier 4.5/1, Lightly-raced gelding. Creditable sixth of 12 in maiden (10/3) at Tipperary (5f, good to soft) 78 days ago. More needed. Best run when second at Cork on testing ground over this trip; below that level since.
7th	1 7th (1) (200/1 -203%) Brightburn	200 200/1(-203%)	(1) Brightburn 200/1, Poor maiden after 16 Flat runs. Off 9 months. First run for yard after leaving Paul W. Flynn. Easily passed over. Rated only 40 and best to look elsewhere.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (2.5/1 -43%) Jacks Gold	2.5 2.5/1(-43%)	(5) Jacks Gold 2.5/1, Showed fairly useful form fitted with cheekpieces when second of 10 in maiden at Cork (5f, good to soft) on debut 21 days ago. Can go one better with improvement on the cards. Should have improved nicely from fine debut run over this trip and go close.

LTO Selection:

MYTHICAL PHOENIX had Double Jabbed about two lengths behind when beating all bar Falskirt over six furlongs at Naas last week. That was a nice progression from his debut over a mile and, having shown good pace throughout, should be suited by this drop down to the minimum trip. Double Jabbed also showed plenty of speed and can't be lightly discounted. Jacks Gold made a promising start when always prominent in the Cork sprint maiden won by Son Of Sampers last month, while Rathbranchurch (also engaged to run here on Thursday) is one of the more experienced in the line-up. He made most of the running at Down Royal last month when fourth to So Majestic (won again since) and should reverse places with the third, Spirit Of Eagles, on considerably better terms.

JACKS GOLD and Mythical Phoenix have shown a similar level of form, but the former is open to more improvement having had just the one outing so far and therefore edges the vote. Double Jabbed may prove best of the rest.

Having shown plenty of speed over this trip on debut at Cork, JACKS GOLD can go one better today with that experience behind him.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
5	5 (5) (16/1 -33%) Tiamat	16 16/1(-33%)	(5) Tiamat 16/1, Debut 7f Newcastle winner but he came in last of 5 in handicap at Hamilton (11.1f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Cheekpieces are reached for with a bit to prove. A case can be made on AW form but she's been below par on turf the last twice.
1	7 1st (7) (7/1 +30%) Leap Year Lad	7 7/1(+30%)	(7) Leap Year Lad 7/1, Winner at Hamilton in May and in good nick since, fourth of 9 in 1m handicap at Ripon 30 days ago. Should continue to give a good account now stepping up in distance. Some good runs at about 1m this year and the step up in trip is well worth exploring.
2	6 2nd (6) (6/1 -33%) Arkenstaar	6 6/1(-33%)	(6) Arkenstaar 6/1, Dual 9f Hamitlon winner before posting a good fourth of 11 to Lady of Arabia in handicap over C&D (good to firm) 22 days ago. Can go well again off the same mark. Two wins in a row at Hamilton then again ran well when fourth here; could be thereabouts.
3	2 3rd (2) (12/1 -167%) Owners Dream	12 12/1(-167%)	(2) Owners Dream 12/1, Fair maiden. Respectable second of 5 in maiden at Chepstow (8.1f, good to firm) 11 days ago. This longer trip should suit so he's much respected on his handicap debut. Pedigree firmly indicates he will be suited by this step up in trip on handicap debut.
4	3 4th (3) (2.5/1 +25%) Lady Of Arabia	2.5 2.5/1(+25%)	(3) Lady Of Arabia 2.5/1, Has taken her form up a notch since sent handicapping and landed 11-runner event over C&D 22 days ago. Up 3 lb but that form is working out well so she's a player once more. Won over C&D three weeks ago and a 3lb rise isn't harsh; respected.
5th	8 5th (8) (5.5/1 +61%) Walk The Moon	5.5 5.5/1(+61%)	(8) Walk The Moon 5.5/1, Has failed to beat a rival on all his three starts, tried in a hood when last in 10f Sandown maiden 20 days ago. Makes his handicap debut with lots to prove. Makes handicap debut off a modest mark and pedigree provides optimism he will improve.
6th	1 6th (1) (3.33/1 +49%) Kristal Klear	3.33 3.33/1(+49%)	(1) Kristal Klear 3.33/1, Arrives in good form in handicaps, fourth of 9 at Carlisle (7.8f, good to soft) 35 days ago. Tongue strap/cheekpieces go on and not ruled out stepping up in trip. Fair efforts in first two handicaps and may have more to offer now up in trip.
7th	4 7th (4) (7.5/1 -25%) Al Tarfa	7.5 7.5/1(-25%)	(4) Al Tarfa 7.5/1, Fair maiden who wasn't seen to best effect when sixth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 18 days ago, left poorly placed. Weighted to go well eased 1 lb. Promise at Wolverhampton on second start but soundly beaten there on handicap debut.

LTO Selection:

OWNERS DREAM stayed on for second over a mile at Chepstow on his latest outing and David O'Meara's inmate looks the one to beat on his handicap debut. His dam won between 1m2f and 2m2f, so he should appreciate the stiffer stamina test here. Lady Of Arabia scored over C&D last month and is feared most off 3lb higher, while the unexposed Walk The Moon completes the shortlist.

LADY OF ARABIA's form is on an upward curve since sent handicapping and, with the form of her recent C&D success having been franked, she gets the vote. Al Tarfa didn't enjoy the rub of the green when sixth at Wolverhampton last time so is next on the list with in-form duo Arkenstaar and Owners Dream also in the mix.

The step up in trip promises to be a plus for OWNERS DREAM and he can make a winning handicap debut. Lady Of Arabia is a danger.

Info	Form	Odds
17	17 (17) (12/1 +0%) Fantasio D'alene	12 12/1(+0%)	(17) Fantasio D'alene 12/1, Ninth of 10 in novice hurdle at Limerick (24f, heavy, 12/1) 117 days ago. RESERVE. Classy sort on his day but history of bleeding and hard to be confident in now; reserve.
1	2 1st (2) (1.62/1 +64%) Kinbara	1.62 1.62/1(+64%)	(2) Kinbara 1.62/1, Thrice-raced winner in bumpers. 5/2, second of 11 in bumper at Listowel (20f, good) 32 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Points' winner with decent bumper form; trip should suit and respected on hurdles bow.
2	8 2nd (8) (10/1 +29%) Glendars Mahler	10 10/1(+29%)	(8) Glendars Mahler 10/1, Modest hurdler. 9/1, good third of 12 in novice hurdle at Downpatrick (21.3f, good) 19 days ago, travelling best. Merits consideration. Solid runs over 2m6f; handy weight allowance here and won't mind rain.
3	5 3rd (5) (5.5/1 -10%) Down Around	5.5 5.5/1(-10%)	(5) Down Around 5.5/1, Respectable third of 12 in bumper (13/8) at this course (16f, good) 16 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Makes hurdles debut. Significantly up in trip. Useful bumper form here of late; upped in trip for hurdles debut and can't rule out.
4	12 4th (12) (3.33/1 +39%) Lily's Choice	3.33 3.33/1(+39%)	(12) Lily's Choice 3.33/1, Once-raced maiden. Fifth of 10 in bumper at Tramore (16.6f, good, 5/4) on NH debut 35 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Significantly up in trip. Stable having good spell. Too keen when beaten favourite on bumper debut; top professional on now for hurdles bow.
5th	1 5th (1) (9/1 -125%) High City Roller	9 9/1(-125%)	(1) High City Roller 9/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 10/1, first run since leaving W. P. Mullins when creditable second of 8 in novice hurdle at this course (20f, good to soft) 37 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Twice touched off in maidens here; good chance of staying but won't want too much rain.
6th	9 6th (9) (200/1 +0%) Ideal Dilemma	200 200/1(+0%)	(9) Ideal Dilemma 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. 125/1, seventh of 10 in novice hurdle at Downpatrick (18.8f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Up in trip. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Showed little in three points' and two attempts hurdling; tongue tie tried now.
7th	13 7th (13) (40/1 -21%) Millie In Milan	40 40/1(-21%)	(13) Millie In Milan 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden under Rules. Tenth of 18 in novice hurdle (25/1) at Punchestown (22f, good) on hurdles bow 27 days ago. Bumper form ordinary and last month's hurdles debut suggests she may need more time.
3	3 \|F\| (3) (5/1 -50%) Misty's Gift	5 5/1(-50%)	(3) Misty's Gift 5/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, good second of 15 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (22.4f, good, 7/2) 39 days ago, no match for winner. Shortlist material. Solid recent form including at 3m; sure to be thereabouts.
14	14 \|R\| (14) (66/1 +67%) Shes Overlooked	66 66/1(+67%)	(14) Shes Overlooked 66/1, Eleventh of 14 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (22.1f, good to soft, 200/1) 135 days ago. Booking of Slevin a plus. Minor promise in bumpers but nothing yet in maiden hurdles; easily passed over.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (40/1 +0%) It's Not Ideal	40 40/1(+0%)	(6) It's Not Ideal 40/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 14 in bumper at this course (20f, good to soft, 33/1) 37 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Three bumper runs ordinary enough, surprising if he made an immediate impact hurdling.
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (66/1 +0%) Kadys Dirha	66 66/1(+0%)	(10) Kadys Dirha 66/1, Modest hurdler. Remains a maiden after 10 hurdle runs. 66/1, creditable fifth of 15 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (22.4f, good) 39 days ago. Modest mare seemingly exposed and plenty to find back in maiden company.

11	11 \|PU\| (11) (150/1 -88%) Kyle Valley	150 150/1(-88%)	(11) Kyle Valley 150/1, Once-raced maiden. 66/1, seventh of 15 in novice hurdle at Tramore (21.1f, good) on NH debut 35 days ago. Pulled up on her sole point and no threat on last month's hurdles debut at Tramore.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (200/1 -60%) Bonilla	200 200/1(-60%)	(4) Bonilla 200/1, Once-raced maiden. Tongue strap on, thirteenth of 17 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (16.2f, good, 66/1) on NH debut 27 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Pulled up in two point starts and well held on hurdles debut at Punchestown last month.

LTO Selection:

HIGH CITY ROLLER ran a big race on his first outing for Liz Doyle here in late May and may be able to gain a deserved win now. The Arcadio gelding just failed to peg back Hartur D'arc over two-and-a-half miles last time and it's no surprise to see him stepping up in trip now. Hurdling debutant Kinbara could be the danger in the race. The Mahler gelding was a point-to-point winner before making a successful 'track' debut in a Killarney bumper last July. He made little impression on his return in a Grade 2 bumper at Aintree in April but ran well to chase home the impressive High Class Hero in a 'winners' event at Listowel early last month. Misty's Gift is another with solid placed form over hurdles and he has to come into the mix here.

The vote goes to MISTY'S GIFT, who is 0-10 in this sphere but she was clear of the rest when chasing home the progressive An Mhi (successful twice again since) at Ballinrobe last time. A reproduction of that effort would probably be enough to see her home in front here. High City Roller went close starting out for this yard over 2½m here and, with this step up in trip a likely plus, he is the clear main danger. Bumper winner Kinbara is third choice ahead of Lily's Choice.

A tricky enough maiden with a tentative vote going to KINBARA to make a winning debut over hurdles

Creditable third of 10 in handicap at Haydock (8f, good to firm, 12/1) 13 days ago, running on. Shortlist material now eased into selling company. Haydock third latest (1m) was a return to form; has to be shortlisted down in grade.
2	5 2nd (5) (1.75/1 +22%) Burning The Bails	1.75 1.75/1(+22%)	(5) Burning The Bails 1.75/1, Lightly-raced maiden who very much caught the eye when third in 10-runner Newcastle novice (7f) in February. May have needed run on back of 3 months off when sixth of 8 in a Thirsk novice (1m) 32 days ago but connections quick to drop him into selling company now. Ill at ease when fifth at Thirsk latest; still something to recommend him at today's trip.
3	2 3rd (2) (11/1 -10%) Khathak	11 11/1(-10%)	(2) Khathak 11/1, Temperamental sort. 12/1 and visored for 1st time, eighth of 9 in handicap at Chester (10.3f, good) 20 days ago, carrying head a little awkwardly. Back down in trip. Needs a couple of these to falter. Remains most effective granted 1m on Polytrack and Tapeta; others more persuasive.

Cheekpieces on 1st time back down in grade and not discounted on balance. Chance on form of Doncaster maiden third (7f) in autumn 2021; cheekpieces now added.

Likely he'll find a few too good now his stamina is drawn out further. Nearly held on in a 5f seller here in May, but couldn't be confident he needs 7f now.

Significantly up in trip and hard to fancy on these terms. Lots to find on these terms, and not really a given he's ready for this return to 7f.
7th	4 7th (4) (200/1 -100%) Vikinvalleycracker	200 200/1(-100%)	(4) Vikinvalleycracker 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. Last of 9 in minor event at Newcastle (10.2f, 200/1) 16 days ago. Down in trip. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Hard to make any sort of case for. Two heavy defeats in 1m2f novice events so far; down in trip and cheekpieces added.

LTO Selection:

ALEXANDER JAMES has a sound chance of gaining a confidence-boosting win now he is dropped into a seller for the first time. The official ratings suggest he has plenty in hand over the opposition and this could well prove to be a straightforward task. Unilateralism is feared most with cheekpieces now applied, while Burning The Bails is likely to be on the premises in this company.

ALEXANDER JAMES took a marked step back in the right direction when third in handicap company at Haydock (1m) 2 weeks ago and, now dropped markedly in grade, he could just be worth siding with to get back on the scoreboard. Burning The Bails, a big player on these terms, can give the selection plenty to think about, however. Unilateralism may emerge best of the remainder.

First-time cheekpieces may enable UNILATERALISM to return to his late-2021 best, and score at the expense of Alexander James.

5th	11 5th (11) (7/1 -17%) Teddy Boy	7 7/1(-17%)	(11) Teddy Boy 7/1, C&D winner. Twenty runs since last win in 2022. Fourth of 23 in handicap at Naas (5f, good to firm, 14/1) 9 days ago. C&D winner; shaped like a return to form was imminent latest but bad draw for this C&D.
6th	3 6th (3) (5/1 -100%) Sosallycanwait	5 5/1(-100%)	(3) Sosallycanwait 5/1, Remains a maiden after 21 Flat runs. Good second of 23 in handicap at Naas (5f, good to firm, 16/1) 9 days ago. Up 5 lb but she was nicely clear of the rest on that occasion. Is 0-21 but encouraging signs on her last 2 starts; only reeled in late last time; up 5lb.

8th	9 8th (9) (12/1 +0%) Silver Nemo	12 12/1(+0%)	(9) Silver Nemo 12/1, Nineteen runs since last win in 2021. Seventeenth of 23 in handicap at Naas (5f, good to firm, 16/1) 9 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Won twice on AW in 2021 but losing run since; failed to build on encouraging reappearance.
9th	4 9th (4) (8/1 -60%) Florence Thompson	8 8/1(-60%)	(4) Florence Thompson 8/1, Remains a maiden after 39 Flat runs. Respectable eighth of 23 in handicap at Naas (5f, good to firm, 10/1) 9 days ago. Can give a good account but she clearly needs everything to fall right. Front-runner; record now stands at 0-39 and probably found 5f too sharp at Naas last week.
10th	1 10th (1) (20/1 -43%) Ever Rock	20 20/1(-43%)	(1) Ever Rock 20/1, Last of 12 in handicap (14/1) at Down Royal (5f, good) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces need to galvanise her. Didn't build on return when last of 12 latest; 5lb below last winning mark; cheekpieces.
11th	8 11th (8) (50/1 -52%) King's View	50 50/1(-52%)	(8) King's View 50/1, Remains a maiden after 57 Flat runs. 33/1, seventeenth of 19 in handicap at Navan (5f, good to soft) 26 days ago. 57-race maiden; poor form over the last 12 months and low-key reappearance at Navan latest.

14th	2 14th (2) (33/1 -32%) Astral Beat	33 33/1(-32%)	(2) Astral Beat 33/1, Blinkered for first time, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Down Royal (5f, good, 66/1) 14 days ago. Sole win came on AW and not as good on turf but down the weights and ran okay latest.
15th	7 15th (7) (8.5/1 +39%) Derrinlaur Spender	8.5 8.5/1(+39%)	(7) Derrinlaur Spender 8.5/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Sixteenth of 18 in handicap at Fairyhouse (6f, good, 8/1) 36 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time, cheekpieces back on. Enters calculations. A 16-race maiden and shown very little in trio of starts for new yard; tongue-tie added.

LTO Selection:

SOSALLYCANWAIT held a rating of 70 early last year and has shown promise on occasions since including when second to Harry's Hill in a 21-runner sprint at the Curragh. She's been very competitive on the turf this season and had both Teddy Boy and Florence Thompson behind when only headed in the closing stages by the progressive So Majestic in a 21-runner handicap at Naas last week. Teddy Boy wasn't favoured by the draw on that occasion but ran with plenty of credit finishing fourth. Astral Beat has joined Lee Smyth this season and gave encouragement in first-time blinkers at Down Royal last time.

SOSALLYCANWAIT bounced back to form when finding only an improving 3-y-o too good at Naas last week and while a 5 lb rise isn't ideal, she remains a very appealing candidate at this level. Disco Bear is not yet exposed and feared most, ahead of Florence Thompson.

SOSALLYCANWAIT may be able to get off the mark. She was only caught late at Naas last week and she could be hard to catch around here

1	1 1st (1) (1.62/1 +19%) Feud	1.62 1.62/1(+19%)	(1) Feud 1.62/1, Stepped up on return when good fourth at Newmarket, shaping like a stayer. More to come up in trip. Kept on for encouraging 4th of 7 over 1m2f latest and this step up in trip could be a plus.
2	5 2nd (5) (12/1 -50%) Dreams Adozen	12 12/1(-50%)	(5) Dreams Adozen 12/1, Produced best effort to date in first-time blinkers when second of 5 in handicap (9/1) at Hamilton (11.1f, good to soft) 8 days ago, no match for winner. Change of headgear. Runner-up from the front at Hamilton last Thursday and could make a bold bid.
3	3 3rd (3) (4.5/1 -13%) Stage Show	4.5 4.5/1(-13%)	(3) Stage Show 4.5/1, Took a big step forward from debut when sixth in Doncaster maiden in October but hasn't progressed since, including in handicaps. Steps up in trip again. Has stayed on nicely in both h'caps (1m/1m2f) and today's extra distance could prove ideal.
4	2 4th (2) (1.88/1 +58%) Swift Hawk	1.88 1.88/1(+58%)	(2) Swift Hawk 1.88/1, Steadily progressive in maiden/novices, bumping into a subsequent winner at Chepstow 3 weeks ago. Needs considering on handicap bow. Handicap newcomer; runner-up in 1m4f novices the last twice and is open to improvement.
5th	4 5th (4) (10/1 -122%) Farhhfromforgotten	10 10/1(-122%)	(4) Farhhfromforgotten 10/1, Got back on the up when second of 6 in handicap at Musselburgh (9f, good) 14 days ago. Extra trip should suit so considered in first-time headgear. Kept on well over 1m1f at Musselburgh and this step up in trip is worth a go.
6th	6 6th (6) (25/1 -108%) Ausdaisia	25 25/1(-108%)	(6) Ausdaisia 25/1, Little impact so far, including when remote fourth on handicap bow here on return 2 weeks ago. Up in trip again. Encouraging fourth over 1m2f here on handicap debut and could improve for this longer trip.

LTO Selection:

SWIFT HAWK is related to a few smart types, including the Group 2 winner Ransom Note, and the unexposed gelding makes his handicap debut following a decent second at Chepstow last month. With more improvement likely, he is taken to get the better of Farhhfromforgotten, who sports first-time cheekpieces having filled the runner-up spot at Musselburgh recently. Dreams Adozen is another to bear in mind.

FEUD's staying-on fourth at Newmarket 2 weeks ago appeals as solid form so he gets the vote with this longer trip sure to suit. The steadily progressive Swift Hawk is feared most on handicap bow.

Today's step up in trip could be just what STAGE SHOW needs and he is taken to get off the mark at the sixth attempt.

1	1 1st (1) (1/1 +60%) Ballyadam	1 1/1(+60%)	(1) Ballyadam 1/1, Smart winner at 16f over hurdles. Creditable second of 8 in novice chase (11/8) at Ballinrobe (17f, good) 39 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Bumped into a smart sort when reverting to fences (two chase runs in 2021) at Ballinrobe.
2	2 2nd (2) (2.25/1 +36%) Hubrisko	2.25 2.25/1(+36%)	(2) Hubrisko 2.25/1, Useful winner at 17f over hurdles. 11/4, very good second of 6 in novice chase at Punchestown (24f, good) 26 days ago. Stable in good form. Leading player. Jumped better on second chase start when runner-up to 145-rated hurdler at Punchestown.
3	3 3rd (3) (2.75/1 -46%) Joyeux Machin	2.75 2.75/1(-46%)	(3) Joyeux Machin 2.75/1, Useful hurdler. 11/10, career best when winning 5-runner minor event hurdle at this course (24f, good to soft) 37 days ago. Makes chase debut and one to consider. Appreciated step up in trip/drop in class to gain second hurdles win over 3m here in May.
4	6 4th (6) (40/1 +0%) Skippin Court	40 40/1(+0%)	(6) Skippin Court 40/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 33/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, tenth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Aintree (20f, good to soft). Off 7 months. Makes chase debut. Dual handicap winner over hurdles last summer; rating of 121 in that sphere; chase debut.

LTO Selection:

BALLYADAM was no match for the impressive Hercule Du Seuil at Ballinrobe last time but looks capable of getting off the mark over fences now. The Fame And Glory gelding was a Grade 1 winner as a novice hurdler but hasn't really lived up to that since. He has shown some solid form in handicap company, however, and as a solid fifth in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham this year. He was favourite on his return to chasing in late May but couldn't match the winner then. This looks a winnable opportunity now. Willie Mullins saddles Hubrisko and he looks a danger after a couple of solid placed efforts over fences. He chased home Salvador Ziggy at Punchestown last month, having met trouble in running, and should be capable of another big show. Joyeux Machin was a good winner over hurdles here in late May and is one to note on his chase debut.

BALLYADAM was a smart winner over hurdles so is taken to build on his Ballinrobe chasing second and open his account in this sphere. Punchestown second Hubrisko and fencing debutant Joyeux Machin should ensure Henry de Bromhead's 8-y-o doesn't have things all his own way though.

A good beginners'; the most intriguing of the chasing debutants is Joyeux Machin but BALLYADAM can put his experience to good use

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
11	11 (11) (66/1 -65%) Alodia	66 66/1(-65%)	(11) Alodia 66/1, Maiden who again never threatened when fifth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in March, going with little fluency and never a threat. Blinkers go on ahead of return/turf debut and she does need to step up to feature. 11-race maiden who needs a good boost from the addition of blinkers.
1	5 1st (5) (3.33/1 +26%) My Honey B	3.33 3.33/1(+26%)	(5) My Honey B 3.33/1, 2/1, career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, firm) 23 days ago, well positioned but showing a determined attitude to prevail. This tougher back in 3-y-o only company but she's a player nevertheless from a handy draw. Held on gamely for Hamilton win last month and a 2lb rise ought to be manageable.
2	9 2nd (9) (4.5/1 -29%) Star Start	4.5 4.5/1(-29%)	(9) Star Start 4.5/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Winner at Carlisle in June. Creditable second of 5 in handicap at Musselburgh (8f, good to firm, 13/8) 4 days ago. Visor on 1st time and he's a player in this groove. Backed up last month's breakthrough win with clear second at Musselburgh on Monday.
3	1 3rd (1) (1.2/1 +52%) Opera Legend	1.2 1.2/1(+52%)	(1) Opera Legend 1.2/1, Much improved on return/qualifying run when second in 10-runner Catterick novice (7f) in May. Couldn't match that when fourth in 8-runner handicap (10f) at Wetherby since but no surprise to see a better showing back down in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Only fourth when warm favourite for handicap debut; back in trip with headgear on here.
4	7 4th (7) (9/1 +10%) Edmund Ironside	9 9/1(+10%)	(7) Edmund Ironside 9/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fourth of 6 in handicap at Musselburgh (9f, good, 12/1) 14 days ago, headed over 2f out and weakening. Mark has eased a little more at least. On a good mark now but form has slumped since pleasing seasonal debut.
5th	6 5th (6) (12/1 +25%) Mister Sox	12 12/1(+25%)	(6) Mister Sox 12/1, 20/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, firm) 13 days ago, beaten when snatched up inside final 1f. Drop in to class 6 company a plus now at least. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Still had half a chance when squeezed out inside final furlong at Ayr; 3lb lower here.
6th	2 6th (2) (11/1 +21%) Kittykarma	11 11/1(+21%)	(2) Kittykarma 11/1, Comeback run at Doncaster in April certainly not devoid of encouragement but she's proved disappointing both starts subsequently, again failing to beat a rival when last of 8 in handicap at Ripon (9.7f) 16 days ago. Drop back in trip needs to have positive effect now. Last of eight over 1m2f on last two appearances; others have much less to prove.
7th	3 7th (3) (20/1 -122%) Congruent	20 20/1(-122%)	(3) Congruent 20/1, Maiden who ran best race from this reduced mark when third at Yarmouth (1m) in June. Not in anything like the same form when last of 6 at Windsor (1m) since and the visor now replaces cheekpieces. Good third at Yarmouth last month but didn't fire at Windsor on Monday; headgear switched.
8th	10 8th (10) (100/1 -100%) Sling Yer Hook	100 100/1(-100%)	(10) Sling Yer Hook 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 8 in handicap at Redcar (7f, good to firm, 33/1) 14 days ago, pushed along under 3f out and soon beaten. That was his first start for 9 months but he'll need to leave that well behind to figure here. Soundly beaten over 7f on seasonal debut; new trip today; considered only if market speaks.

LTO Selection:

Opera Legend rates as an interesting contender after he failed to justify favouritism last time at Wetherby on his handicap bow. He now tries first-time cheekpieces and could have a say. However, preference is for STAR START, who filled the runner-up spot at Musselburgh last time and connections now reach for a first-time visor, which could eke out the improvement needed. Last-time-out victor My Honey B is also worthy of consideration.

OPERA LEGEND's handicap debut effort at Wetherby has to go down as a shade disappointing but he had previously shaped up well when second on return in a Catterick novice during May. Still early days and in excellent hands, he could just be worth another chance dropped back in trip. Star Start, who finished runner-up at Musselburgh on Monday, Hamilton scorer My Honey B and Congruent head up the dangers.

Clear of the others when second to a well-handicapped rival at Musselburgh on Monday, STAR START can gain quick compensation here.

1	13 1st (13) (1/1 +28%) Esquiline	1 1/1(+28%)	(13) Esquiline 1/1, Siyouni filly who is progressing nicely, edged out only late on in a Fairyhouse maiden (12f) on her latest start 4 weeks ago. Big player on that evidence with cheekpieces on 1st time. Sets a clear standard on her two runs this term and cheekpieces may help eke out more.
2	8 2nd (8) (25/1 -56%) As Fast As Wind	25 25/1(-56%)	(8) As Fast As Wind 25/1, Fair filly. Remains a maiden after 7 Flat runs. Eighth of 9 in maiden (6/1) at Navan (10f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Up in trip. Not beaten far on return; lesser effort latest but could improve for this new trip.
3	7 3rd (7) (4/1 +60%) Angelic Appeal	4 4/1(+60%)	(7) Angelic Appeal 4/1, Thrice-raced filly. 10/1, fifth of 13 in maiden at the Curragh (12f, good) 30 days ago. Stable in good form but handicaps may be more her bag. Improved from promising debut on next two starts; bit to find but each-way claims.

Still, staying handicaps entitled to be more her bag. Promise in two maidens but fair bit to find and she qualifies for handicaps after this.
5th	11 5th (11) (18/1 +10%) Diana Moon	18 18/1(+10%)	(11) Diana Moon 18/1, Sea The Moon filly. Dam, French/German maiden. 25/1 and hooded, seventh of 13 in maiden at the Curragh (12f, good) on debut 30 days ago, missing break and merely passing beaten rivals. In good hands and she may well do better. Beaten 12l when 7th at the Curragh on last month's debut behind stablemate Delicate Girl.

Market should prove a useful guide with yard also saddling Miss McHenry. Lawman filly related to winners at this sort of trip but this looks tough on debut.
8th	16 8th (16) (200/1 -506%) Silver Salver	200 200/1(-506%)	(16) Silver Salver 200/1, Twice-raced filly. 100/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, eighth of 12 in maiden at Leopardstown (12f, good) 15 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Reserve 1. Didn't really build on her debut when eighth at Leopardstown last month; reserve.

Dam, 11.3f winner, sister to smart winner up to 1¼m (stayed 1½m) Battle of Marengo. Caravaggio filly; 68,000euros yearling; half-sister to Point King and dam well related.
10th	4 10th (4) (8.5/1 -21%) Dubeyeracingcraic	8.5 8.5/1(-21%)	(4) Dubeyeracingcraic 8.5/1, Starspangledbanner filly with plenty of stamina on dam's side and shaped in kind when plugging on fifth in 9-runner Down Royal maiden (12.8f) on debut 13 days ago. Entitled to improve for the run. Well bred half-sister to Sonnyboyliston who started off with an encouraging 5th last month.
11th	6 11th (6) (250/1 -150%) I'm Polly	250 250/1(-150%)	(6) I'm Polly 250/1, Thrice-raced filly. Seventh of 8 in maiden (80/1) at Down Royal (10.3f, good to soft). Off 12 months and she can only be watched. Poor form in three starts so far and has been off for more than a year.
12th	15 12th (15) (12/1 +0%) Miss Mchenry	12 12/1(+0%)	(15) Miss Mchenry 12/1, Twice-raced filly. 22/1, fourth of 17 in maiden at Gowran (9.4f, good to soft) 19 days ago, running on without being not knocked about. Type to do better again upped in trip. Improved from debut when 4th at Gowran last month; form knocked since; new trip may help.
13th	2 13th (2) (250/1 -150%) Dark Miss	250 250/1(-150%)	(2) Dark Miss 250/1, Twice-raced filly. 150/1, last of 17 in maiden at Gowran (9.6f, heavy) 80 days ago. Up in trip. Shown nothing in two maidens and needs to find a huge amount for the step up in trip.
14th	3 14th (3) (250/1 -67%) Dramatic Dawn	250 250/1(-67%)	(3) Dramatic Dawn 250/1, Twice-raced filly. 200/1, last of 9 in maiden at this course (7.7f, good to soft). Off 9 months. Significantly up in trip. Tailed off in two maidens at 1m last year; off 281 days and best watched for now.

LTO Selection:

ESQUILINE has progressed both with experience and stepping up in trip and gets the vote with cheek pieces fitted for the first time. The Johnny Murtagh-trained filly finished well over 1m2f at the Curragh before making the useful St Vincents Garden work hard over this trip at Fairyhouse last month. Erato makes plenty of appeal on pedigree being a Galileo sister to five winners including Bondi Beach and Constantinople, while Aunt Helga is a half-sister to stablemate Point King who won the Listed Im6f Vinnie Roe Stakes last year. A market move for either would obviously be very significant. Miss McHenry put in some good work in the closing stages over an extended nine furlongs at Gowran last time while Delicate Girl is another to consider on her fourth to Scarlett O'Hara over this trip at the Curragh.

ESQUILINE continued her theme of race-by-race progress when edged out late on in a Fairyhouse maiden over this trip 28 days ago and a repeat in first-time cheekpieces may well be enough to see her come out on top at the fourth attempt. Delicate Girl and newcomer Erato are others worthy of consideration with Dubeyeracingcraic another likely improver following an encouraging-enough debut effort.

The standard is set by ESQUILINE who has looked like a smart prospect in a couple of maidens this term and she could be hard to beat

LTO Selection:

In a field dominated by unraced prospects, the vote goes to EXPENSIVE QUEEN. A full-sister to the 7f Group 3 winner Antonia De Vega, Kevin Ryan's 260,000-euro yearling purchase can make a winning start to her racing career. Beveragino must hold every chance of building on a pleasing third on her racecourse debut and can give the selection plenty to think about, along with fellow newcomer Darnation.

With most of the field newcomers the market will offer valuable clues, but one who makes plenty of appeal on paper is EXPENSIVE QUEEN, who represents a stable going better with its 2-y-os again (had a couple of recent winners). Darnation is second choice, while Beveragino seems sure to put her experience to good use.

Top of the list is the 260,000euros yearling EXPENSIVE QUEEN, with fellow newcomer Magical Circle second choice.

1	4 1st (4) (8.5/1 +15%) Take All	8.5 8.5/1(+15%)	(4) Take All 8.5/1, Course winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2021. Fifth of 7 in handicap chase at Punchestown (21f, good, 14/1) 26 days ago. Well handicapped if he can build on that. Sole chase win was here and twice went close off higher marks last season.
2	7 2nd (7) (9/1 -125%) Snugsborough Hall	9 9/1(-125%)	(7) Snugsborough Hall 9/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Fourth of 11 in handicap chase (11/1) at Roscommon (24.2f, good) 25 days ago, shaping up quite well. Veteran but still retains plenty of enthusiasm. Veteran was remote fourth (just ahead of Champagne Gold) over 3m at Roscommon last month.
3	6 3rd (6) (5.5/1 +66%) Sit Down Lucy	5.5 5.5/1(+66%)	(6) Sit Down Lucy 5.5/1, Useful winner at 19f over hurdles. Below form eighth of 14 in handicap chase (25/1) at Punchestown (21f, good to soft) 70 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Hurdle and chase winner at Galway last summer; needs a revival in form.
4	5 4th (5) (12/1 -20%) All Those Years	12 12/1(-20%)	(5) All Those Years 12/1, 11/1, sixth of 7 in minor event hurdle at this course (17.4f, good to soft) 37 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Switches from hurdles to chase in cheekpieces and jumping could do with some work over the larger obstacles. Reverts to fences after a couple of spins over hurdles and cheekpieces may be beneficial.
5th	1 5th (1) (7/1 -8%) Darver Star	7 7/1(-8%)	(1) Darver Star 7/1, Ten wins from 35 NH runs. Three wins from 7 runs last season. Tenth of 12 in handicap chase at Punchestown (24f, good to soft, 17/2) 69 days ago. Blinkers now the headgear of choice and this is slightly easier. Second under this impost over C&D in March but this is a deeper race; well held latest.
6th	3 6th (3) (3/1 -50%) Birchdale	3 3/1(-50%)	(3) Birchdale 3/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Good second of 7 in handicap chase (10/3) at Punchestown (21f, good) 26 days ago, sticking to task. Very likely to be on the premises. In contention when departing two out in Killarney; solid second at Punchestown last time.
7th	8 7th (8) (10/1 +70%) Filon D'oudairies	10 10/1(+70%)	(8) Filon D'oudairies 10/1, C&D winner. Latest win in chase at Thurles in December. Seventh of 8 in handicap chase (22/1) at Punchestown (16f, good) 27 days ago. Back up in trip and he should now be spot on fitness-wise. C&D winner two years ago and scored at Thurles in December; may find this a bit too hot.
8th	2 8th (2) (3/1 +25%) Champagne Gold	3 3/1(+25%)	(2) Champagne Gold 3/1, C&D winner. Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap chase at Roscommon (24.2f, good, 17/2) 25 days ago. Blinkers replace cheekpieces and he's back on his career-low mark. Beaten 20l at Roscommon; last two starts over 3m, drops back in trip with blinkers tried.

LTO Selection:

BIRCHDALE comes here in decent form and this looks a nice opportunity for him. The Jeremy gelding was in contention when falling on his penultimate outing at Killarney before chasing home Arrycan at Punchestown last month, and is only a pound higher now. Snugsborough Hall ran a decent race on his return to the 'track' when fourth at Roscommon last time and could be a player now having eased a couple of pounds since. He had Champagne Gold back in fifth that day and may be able to confirm placings with that rival, who is fitted with blinkers for the first time now.

BIRCHDALE is back in excellent order, casting aside a fall when runner-up despite conceding first run at Punchestown last month. He rates the percentage call, though Champagne Gold lurks on a dangerous mark. Veteran Snugsborough Hall is another to consider.

If BIRCHDALE can run close to his best, he should take a fair bit of beating; he holds course winner Take All on Punchestown form

Remains with potential, so he's a must for the shortlist. Still unexposed and he ran into two subsequent winners at Yarmouth last time; dangerous.
2	5 2nd (5) (20/1 +20%) Jamih	20 20/1(+20%)	(5) Jamih 20/1, Fared little better when fourth of 9 in handicap (11/2) at Ripon (12f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Tough to fancy. On last winning mark but he's been well held last twice and needs a major upturn in form.
3	1 3rd (1) (14/1 -27%) Can Can Girl	14 14/1(-27%)	(1) Can Can Girl 14/1, Temperamental sort. C&D winner. 9/1, not on a going day when sixth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f). Off 6 months. First run for yard after leaving David Brown. Cheekpieces back on. Dual course winner but she has something to prove on her return for new yard.
4	2 4th (2) (6.5/1 -95%) Bearwith	6.5 6.5/1(-95%)	(2) Bearwith 6.5/1, Made a winning return at Newcastle in May and followed up at Redcar (10f, good) later that month, driven ahead close home. Fancied to be in the mix in his hat-trick bid stepping up to 1½m for the first time. Has won both his starts this season and he's respected upped in trip in his hat-trick bid.
5th	4 5th (4) (1.38/1 +45%) Valley Of Flowers	1.38 1.38/1(+45%)	(4) Valley Of Flowers 1.38/1, Evens, made the most of a good opportunity when winning 7-runner handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 10 days ago, cosily. Carries penalty. In the mix with a repeat. In-form 5yo who won in good style over C&D last time; big player again under penalty.
6th	7 6th (7) (4/1 +11%) Optician	4 4/1(+11%)	(7) Optician 4/1, 6/1, again ran creditably when second of 6 in handicap at Carlisle (11.2f, soft) 18 days ago. Upped to 1½m for the first time and holds solid each-way claims. 0-6 but was a creditable second behind a major improver at Carlisle last time; in the mix.

LTO Selection:

VALLEY OF FLOWERS struck by just over a length last time over C&D in this grade when justifying favouritism. She has to carry 5lb extra for that success, which may not be enough to prevent her from going in again. Bearwith racked up a double in May and now competes off 3lb higher than his latest victory at Redcar, while Optician completes the shortlist.

A few in with a squeak but at forecast longer odds, BAILEYS KHELSTAR could be worth chancing after putting up an improved effort when third on handicap debut at Yarmouth last month. Valley of Flowers was a cosy winner over C&D 10 days ago so she could give the selection most to think about, ahead of the hat-trick-seeking Bearwith and Optician.

The vote goes to VALLEY OF FLOWERS, who won over C&D last time and is only 4lb higher under a penalty for that comfortable success.

LTO Selection:

FINAL ORDERS won a handicap hurdle here last August and has shown tremendous improvement since over fences winning five times including a valuable handicap at the Dublin Racing Festival in Leopardstown to reach a mark of 150. The Gavin Cromwell-trained gelding was second in a 1m6f handicap here 12 months ago and hopefully can translate a little of that jumping improvement back to the Flat. Cleopatra's Needle has dropped down to a lowly mark and merits consideration on her third to Tastyee over this trip at Tipperary, while Mater Matuta won over hurdles here last year and is sure to be primed with this meeting in mind again. Slieve Bearnagh and Duleek Street are others to consider.

FINAL ORDERS is leniently treated considering his jumps form and ran with credit when last seen in this sphere, so he makes most appeal in a race where the majority arrive out of form. Shining Aitch looks a danger up in trip and Action Motion is worth a market check.

It is difficult to oppose the now 150-rated chaser FINAL ORDERS returning to the Flat off a modest mark.

2	6 2nd (6) (1.88/1 -7%) Metabolt	1.88 1.88/1(-7%)	(6) Metabolt 1.88/1, Improving 3-y-o who finished strongly to score on return over C&D in May and displayed a nice turn of foot to follow up at Windsor (1m) 18 days ago, with a bit in hand. 4 lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid. Has won both runs this year and this unexposed 4yo could still be ahead of the handicapper.
3	10 3rd (10) (7.5/1 +63%) Waiting All Night	7.5 7.5/1(+63%)	(10) Waiting All Night 7.5/1, Fourth of 7 in handicap (18/1) at Nottingham (8.3f, firm) 30 days ago, weakening out of things having taken a strong hold. Possibly needs further respite from the assessor before becoming of interest. Continues to drop down the weights, but claims aren't compelling on this season's evidence.
4	2 4th (2) (9/1 -20%) Red Mirage	9 9/1(-20%)	(2) Red Mirage 9/1, Five wins from 17 Flat runs. Fifth of 8 in handicap (8/1) at Chelmsford (8f) 15 days ago, ridden over 2f out and not quicken. Mark is easing at least and first-time visor may put an edge on him. Has dropped down the weights but needs to turn things around in a first-time visor.
5th	8 5th (8) (11/1 -38%) Garner	11 11/1(-38%)	(8) Garner 11/1, Successful on second of starts for the Charlton's as a 2-y-o and defied a penalty to follow up convincingly back from 13 months off at Lingfield (6f) in June. Couldn't replicate that on handicap debut at York since but it remains early days at least. Mid-div on h'cap debut but in hot York race; this 3yo retains potential back down in grade.
6th	1 6th (1) (33/1 -200%) Baileysgutfeeling	33 33/1(-200%)	(1) Baileysgutfeeling 33/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win in selling company at Leicester (6f) in June. 20/1, first run since leaving Kevin Philippart De Foy when third of 5 in handicap at Ffos Las (7.4f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Won two in a row before solid 3rd on recent yard debut at Ffos Las; might not be far away.
7th	3 7th (3) (11/1 -47%) Royal Pleasure	11 11/1(-47%)	(3) Royal Pleasure 11/1, 3-time winner for Sir Mark Prescott who shaped as if back in form when sixth in big field York handicap (7f) 3 weeks ago, making up plenty of ground. However, fact he was again very slowly away then is a concern here. Did well to finish sixth at York after slow start; could be involved if away on terms.
8th	9 8th (9) (14/1 +22%) Dancinginthewoods	14 14/1(+22%)	(9) Dancinginthewoods 14/1, Largely held form well on AW during the winter prior to a rare below par display at Newcastle (1m) in March. Returns from a 4-month break on a handy mark on the pick of his form so interesting if the market speaks in his favour. Engaged 7.50 Newbury Thursday. In good form until lesser run in March; three turf wins to his name; not ruled out.
9th	7 9th (7) (12/1 +52%) Tuscan	12 12/1(+52%)	(7) Tuscan 12/1, Tenth of 16 in handicap at York (7f, good to firm, 40/1) 21 days ago, ridden halfway and weakening. Yet to fire in 4 starts so far this campaign and visor needs to have positive effect now. Struggled on his four starts this season; new visor needs to arrest the slide.

LTO Selection:

A winner over C&D in May, METABOLT is unbeaten so far this season and there is no reason to suggest why he cannot continue to progress, especially with the drop back in trip expected to suit. Paws For Thought bounced back to winning ways at his beloved Chester last week, and he must enter calculations, along with recent course winner Young Fire, who has not run over this distance since last November.

METABOLT has returned an improved model this term, supplementing his C&D reappearance success with a bit to spare at Windsor 18 days ago. Clearly versatile as regards ground, he could well have more to offer on that evidence and can complete the hat-trick. Chester scorer Paws For Thought and recent course winner Young Fire head up the dangers.

The progressive 4yo METABOLT (nap) can make it 3-3 for the season having won over C&D and at Windsor on his two runs this term.

Running well fell in handicap chase (7/2) at Clonmel (20f, good) 28 days ago looking threatening at the time. Cheekpieces back on. Has good chance on form. Faller two out at Clonmel last month; on a competitive mark and one to consider.
7th	6 7th (6) (6.5/1 +70%) Peckham Springs	6.5 6.5/1(+70%)	(6) Peckham Springs 6.5/1, 8/1, tenth of 14 in handicap chase at Thurles (16.4f, good to soft) 148 days ago. Plenty to find on form. Better hurdler and lacks a recent run but could be approaching a competitive mark.

LTO Selection:

BERLIET EXPRESS may be able to gain a deserved success over fences here. The Sageburg gelding won twice over timber and has been placed three times over the larger obstacles, including on his two most recent outings. He travelled best in the lead turning for home at Clonmel last time, but was headed after a mistake two from home. Off the same mark he looks capable of collecting now. Clairmc was a good winner over almost half a mile further here last time and bids to defy a 7lb rise. The drop back in trip would be a slight concern given the way she ran through the line then. Freddie Robdal is another who comes here in decent form and has to be on the shortlist.

FRANCOIS looked a big threat when exiting at the second-last back in this sphere at Clonmel last month and he is appealing off an untouched mark. Next on the list is Clairmc, who made it second time lucky over fences over 2½m here recently, albeit this drop back in trip may not prove to be ideal. Berliet Express merits respect, too, while C&D winner Coole Arcade would certainly have a chance if bouncing back.

A good winner here last month over 2m4f, CLAIRMC can follow up over this shorter trip on only her third start over fences

7th	7 7th (7) (4/1 +38%) Stoney Lane	4 4/1(+38%)	(7) Stoney Lane 4/1, C&D winner. 16/1, wasn't seen to best effect when eleventh of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f), off the bridle long way out. Off 7 months and will need to hit the ground running. Just held on to win this off basement mark last year but off since poor AW run in November.

LTO Selection:

Northbound hit the crossbar at Carlisle on Sunday and he looks sure to go well once more, even with the quick turnaround, but the vote goes to STONEY LANE, who makes his return to the fray and performed well over C&D last year. If he can run to that level, he ought to go close. Dr Rio finished a fair fourth over a mile at Newcastle last time and should be considered too.

NORTHBOUND arrives in good order so Julie Camacho's 5-y-o is taken to double her tally for the year at the expense of Dr Rio, who seems to be building up to something and his only career success came at this track last summer. Twilight Jazz and previous C&D winner Stoney Lane can fight out third-place.

A speculative option to consider is MONOPHONIC, who took a good step back in the right direction on her latest of three stable starts.

20:15 Bellewstown Handicap 12f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	9 1st (9) (3.5/1 +68%) Franno	3.5 3.5/1(+68%)	(9) Franno 3.5/1, Unreliable sort. Course winner. 18/1, below form seventh of 14 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (17.6f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Blinkers back on. Back to a potentially lenient mark but she can't be relied upon. Has been dropping down the handicap in the last year and is of some interest.
2	11 2nd (11) (20/1 +50%) Hot Lady	20 20/1(+50%)	(11) Hot Lady 20/1, Eleventh of 15 in handicap at Fairyhouse (12f, good to firm, 50/1) 28 days ago. Others make more appeal. Beaten a long way at Fairyhouse last time and not easy to fancy on that evidence.
3	4 3rd (4) (5.5/1 -10%) Qasbaz	5.5 5.5/1(-10%)	(4) Qasbaz 5.5/1, Good fifth of 17 in handicap (11/1) at Navan (10f, good to soft) 26 days ago, slowly away. Up in trip. Likely to be on the premises again. Running on upped to 1m2f at Navan last time and this trip could be within his range.
4	12 4th (12) (66/1 -32%) Joven De Corazon	66 66/1(-32%)	(12) Joven De Corazon 66/1, Sixteenth of 17 in handicap (40/1) at Tipperary (12.5f, good) 38 days ago. Others more persuasive. Poor over hurdles lately and also back on the Flat; not easy to make a case for.
5th	7 5th (7) (7.5/1 +17%) Kartayaz	7.5 7.5/1(+17%)	(7) Kartayaz 7.5/1, 18/1, bit below form seventh of 13 in handicap at Fairyhouse (12f, good) 21 days ago. Needs to bounce back. All wins over an extended 1m2f; below form over this trip at Fairyhouse last time.
6th	14 6th (14) (8/1 -300%) Tara Power	8 8/1(-300%)	(14) Tara Power 8/1, One win from 24 Flat runs. 10/1, very good second of 14 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f, good) 22 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Strong claims. Second over 1m1f at Leopardstown last time; disappointed previous try over this trip.
7th	15 7th (15) (7/1 +56%) Charlie Darling	7 7/1(+56%)	(15) Charlie Darling 7/1, 22/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Roscommon (11.7f, good) 36 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Difficult ask. Engaged 7.40 here Thursday. Will have to improve from handicap debut; is 6lb out of the weights too; cheekpieces.
8th	10 8th (10) (28/1 -12%) Csarina	28 28/1(-12%)	(10) Csarina 28/1, 12/1, seventh of 10 in claimer at Limerick (11.5f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Others have achieved more. Soundly beaten in handicaps and claimers lately, so has to find improvement.
9th	5 9th (5) (12/1 +70%) Kalaroun	12 12/1(+70%)	(5) Kalaroun 12/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Ninth of 14 in handicap (22/1) at Dundalk (12f). Off 105 days. Others make more appeal. Regressive since a cracking run at Chester a year ago; has to put best foot forward.
10th	3 10th (3) (16/1 +60%) Beer With The Boys	16 16/1(+60%)	(3) Beer With The Boys 16/1, First run since leaving C. Moore when eleventh of 13 in handicap at Fairyhouse (12f, good, 28/1) 21 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Hard to make a solid case for. Well beaten on comeback at Fairyhouse but can improve from that and not dismissed.
11th	13 11th (13) (33/1 +18%) Meoulflower	33 33/1(+18%)	(13) Meoulflower 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Tenth of 12 in maiden (150/1) at Fairyhouse (12f, good) 21 days ago, very slowly away. Makes handicap debut. More required. Very little to show for three maiden runs and begins handicaps off bottom rating.
12th	8 12th (8) (12/1 -33%) Dreaming Princess	12 12/1(-33%)	(8) Dreaming Princess 12/1, Creditable sixth of 14 in handicap at Down Royal (10.3f, good, 12/1) 13 days ago. Should give another good account. A better run over 1m2f at Down Royal; a player if staying this trip.
13th	2 13th (2) (4.5/1 +59%) Dollar Value	4.5 4.5/1(+59%)	(2) Dollar Value 4.5/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (17.3f, good, 10/1) 19 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Becoming well treated and can't be discounted. Has run well in defeat at this track; encouraging hurdle run last time; visor tried.

LTO Selection:

This looks like a weak enough race and TARA POWER, who was narrowly denied at Leopardstown last time may be able to gain compensation. Keith Clarke's charge kept on well then but just failed to peg back Vidala by a head at the line. Going up in trip again should help and he effectively runs off the same mark with a 4lb raise putting him on the basement rating of 47. The versatile Darkened attracted some support at Tipperary on Wednesday and didn't run too badly when seventh to Belgoprince. Young Kyle McHugh takes 10lb off his back now and he might get closer. Qasbaz has been knocking on the door and is tried up in trip now. He's another for the shortlist.

TARA POWER turned in his best effort of the campaign when runner-up at Leopardstown 22 days ago and most of his rivals have something to prove, so he's worth a chance to go one better. Qasbaz should be thereabouts once more and the well-treated Dollar Value is of interest with a visor applied for the first time.

Though he is unproven over this trip, QASBAZ was running on over 1m2f at Navan last time and is worth a try over this trip.

20:25 Haydock Stakes (Class 5) 7f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (1.1/1 +12%) Poet Master	1.1 1.1/1(+12%)	(2) Poet Master 1.1/1, It wasn't much of a maiden in which he landed the odds on debut at Musselburgh (7.2f, good) a fortnight ago, but he did the job well and there should be better to come. Major player. Won at Musselburgh on debut despite showing signs of inexperience; respected under penalty.
2	9 2nd (9) (3/1 -33%) Tango Man	3 3/1(-33%)	(9) Tango Man 3/1, Expensive purchase who didn't show a great deal on sole 2-y-o start for David Loughnane. However, his reappearance third of 14 on return/debut for new yard in a first-time tongue strap (retained) at Kempton (7f) was far more encouraging and he's probably capable of better still. Third on last month's stable debut at Kempton and that form gives him leading claims here.
3	7 3rd (7) (7/1 +30%) Sherood	7 7/1(+30%)	(7) Sherood 7/1, Half-brother to 7.5f winner Raaghib and useful winner up to 1m Ghayadh. Has shown ability in a maiden at Doncaster and a Kempton novice (both at 7f) and likely to do better in time. Better effort on second start and this 130,000gns foal is open to further improvement.
4	1 4th (1) (12/1 -33%) Final Credit	12 12/1(-33%)	(1) Final Credit 12/1, Left debut effort well behind when accounting for 10 rivals in a 7f Wetherby novice (good to firm) last month. This is tougher under a penalty, but he remains open to improvement. Won at Wetherby on second run; further improvement needed under penalty but not ruled out.
5th	10 5th (10) (80/1 -142%) Wild Hoofer	80 80/1(-142%)	(10) Wild Hoofer 80/1, Bettered low-key debut display when sixth in an 11-runner Wolverhampton novice (7.2f) recently, but he's another who can be expected to fare better when going down the handicap route. Ability when sixth at Wolverhampton on second start but needs to find chunk of improvement.
6th	4 6th (4) (4/1 +20%) Cover Up	4 4/1(+20%)	(4) Cover Up 4/1, Exceed And Excel gelding. Dam, 5f winner who stayed 1m, half-sister to smart 2-y-o 5.5f/6f winner Mischief Magic (by Exceed And Excel). Likely-looking newcomer representing top connections and needs close attention in the betting. Gelded prior to this debut; represents powerful connections and could play a leading role.
7th	6 7th (6) (125/1 -89%) Rollz Royz	125 125/1(-89%)	(6) Rollz Royz 125/1, Little to shout about in 2 starts so far and he's probably more one for handicaps in due course. Well beaten at big odds on his first two starts and qualifies for handicaps after this.
8th	12 8th (12) (125/1 -89%) Clash Of The Ash	125 125/1(-89%)	(12) Clash Of The Ash 125/1, Kodiac filly. Half-sister to 6f-1¼m winner Battle Commence and 1¼m winner Spirit of Ash. Dam 5f-6.3f winner. Wears hood. Winning newcomers for this yard are few and far between, so watching brief advised. Makes debut in hood; half-sister to two winners; others are more compelling.
9th	8 9th (8) (25/1 -56%) Smalleytime	25 25/1(-56%)	(8) Smalleytime 25/1, £62,000 yearling. Dam, Italian 7f/1m winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 1¼m (Premio Lydia Tesio) Sound of Freedom. Worth a second look in the betting. Every chance he'll have a future but he needs to be useful if he's to win this on debut.
10th	11 10th (11) (100/1 -52%) Burrows Dream	100 100/1(-52%)	(11) Burrows Dream 100/1, Ultra filly. Half-sister to 6f winner Burrows Seeside and 2-y-o 6.5f winner Allez Burrows. Dam French 2-y-o 5f-6.5f winner. Wears hood. Likely best watched on debut. Half-sister to 2 winners; wears hood on debut; others make greater appeal than this filly.
11th	3 11th (3) (200/1 -150%) Balmy Breese	200 200/1(-150%)	(3) Balmy Breese 200/1, Sent off at 125/1 and finished down the field on recent introduction at Wolverhampton (7.2f). Yard also saddles newcomer Forceful Spirit. 125-1 when soundly beaten in seventh of 11 on recent debut at Wolverhampton.
12th	5 12th (5) (150/1 -127%) Forceful Spirit	150 150/1(-127%)	(5) Forceful Spirit 150/1, Lethal Force colt. Dam, 5f/6f winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 6f Enchantment. Yard is hardly synonymous with winning newcomers and probably best to look elsewhere on this occasion. Second foal; dam 5f-6f winner (RPR 68); a watching brief is advised on debut.

LTO Selection:

POET MASTER made quite the impression when scoring with ease on his debut at Musselburgh last month and the three-year-old should be able to continue his improvement in this contest, despite carrying a penalty. Final Credit arrives with similar claims after a taking success at Wetherby, while Tango Man ran encouragingly in a race that has worked out very well at Kempton. Cover Up looks to be the pick of the newcomers for in-form connections.

Though POET MASTER didn't have much to beat on his debut at Musselburgh, he went about his business in the manner of a decent prospect and is taken to maintain his 100% record here before going on to bigger things. Tango Man fetched £496,000 when resold as a 2-y-o and is feared most on the back of his encouraging reappearance third at Kempton. Newcomer Cover Up makes plenty of appeal on paper and is next on the list ahead of Wetherby winner Final Credit.

The form of TANGO MAN's stable debut third at Kempton last month is working out well and he earns the vote ahead of Poet Master.

1	3 1st (3) (0.67/1 +46%) Friends	0.67 0.67/1(+46%)	(3) Friends 0.67/1, Mahler mare. Dam unraced half-sister to dual bumper winner/fairly useful hurdle winner (stayed 21f) Joanne One. Obvious appeal for top yard and confidence behind her in the betting would look significant. Represents top yard and obvious respect on debut.
2	8 2nd (8) (5/1 -43%) Ma Bess	5 5/1(-43%)	(8) Ma Bess 5/1, Once-raced maiden. Second of 18 in bumper at Limerick (16.4f, good to soft, 9/1) on NH debut 42 days ago, no match for winner. Up in trip. Limerick second probably won't need to improve too much to play a major role here.
3	4 3rd (4) (11/1 +0%) I Am Shadow	11 11/1(+0%)	(4) I Am Shadow 11/1, Remains a maiden after 7 bumper runs. Respectable eighth of 13 in bumper (8/1) at Kilbeggan (15.1f, good to soft) 78 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Solid level of form last year, better than Kilbeggan run in April.
4	1 4th (1) (50/1 -52%) Aine Beag	50 50/1(-52%)	(1) Aine Beag 50/1, Once-raced maiden. Fifth of 15 in bumper (50/1) at Punchestown (16.2f, good) on NH debut 27 days ago. Up in trip. Mild promise on debut when a 50-1 shot at Punchestown last month; needs to improve plenty.
5th	2 5th (2) (5.5/1 +54%) Fortunate Lighting	5.5 5.5/1(+54%)	(2) Fortunate Lighting 5.5/1, Twice-raced maiden. 11/1, fifth of 12 in bumper at Galway (16f, heavy), needing lesser test. Off 8 months. Up in trip. Shaped as if this longer trip would suit at Galway; lack of a recent run a concern.
6th	11 6th (11) (80/1 -142%) Shanlaylin	80 80/1(-142%)	(11) Shanlaylin 80/1, Twice-raced maiden. 100/1, fifth of 10 in bumper at Sligo (18f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Showed a bit more at Sligo last month but bit to find with Marvel Star on that run.
7th	13 7th (13) (66/1 -32%) The Derry Girl	66 66/1(-32%)	(13) The Derry Girl 66/1, Once-raced maiden. 100/1, fifth of 14 in bumper at this course (20f, good to soft) on NH debut 37 days ago, left with too much to do. C&D debut promise in May, could have more to offer.
8th	6 8th (6) (12/1 +25%) Iriskana	12 12/1(+25%)	(6) Iriskana 12/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fourth of 18 in bumper (33/1) at Limerick (16.4f, good to soft) 42 days ago, needing stiffer test. Up in trip. Limerick fourth a step up on Tipperary debut effort but good bit more likely required here.
9th	9 9th (9) (28/1 -40%) Marvel Star	28 28/1(-40%)	(9) Marvel Star 28/1, Twice-raced maiden. Third of 10 in bumper (28/1) at Sligo (18f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Remote third behind a facile winner at Sligo; more needed to get in the mix here.
12	12 \|U\| (12) (150/1 -355%) Sister Emmanuel	150 150/1(-355%)	(12) Sister Emmanuel 150/1, Masterofthehorse mare. Dam unraced half-sister to smart hurdler (stayed 25f) Milsean. Newcomer for whom market likely best guide.
10th	10 10th (10) (14/1 -211%) Our Girl Sal	14 14/1(-211%)	(10) Our Girl Sal 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. 33/1, second of 18 in novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, good) on hurdles bow 32 days ago, running on. Switches from hurdles to bumpers. Up in trip. Recent Listowel mares' maiden hurdle runner-up should relish this longer trip.
11th	5 11th (5) (50/1 -25%) Into The Unknown	50 50/1(-25%)	(5) Into The Unknown 50/1, Sea The Stars mare. Half-sister to 1m winner abroad Stellar Comet. Dam 10.3f winner on Flat. Cheaply bought Sea The Stars mare for whom market best guide on belated debut.
12th	7 12th (7) (150/1 -200%) Kamama	150 150/1(-200%)	(7) Kamama 150/1, Morozov mare. Dam, placed once in bumpers, half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stays 3¼m) The Jam Man. Newcomer likely best watched.

LTO Selection:

It's hard to get away from Willie Mullins in bumpers given his recent record and newcomer FRIENDS may prove the pick here. The Mahler filly is the first foal of an unraced mare, who is a half-sister to Listed bumper winner Joanne One and from the family of the yard's Grade 1 winning mare Colreevy. Point-to-point winner Ma Bess ran a big race on her 'track' debut when chasing home another Mullins mare, Ivana, at Limerick and she could be the danger now. Our Girl Sal ran well at a big price when second over hurdles at Listowel last month and could be place material again back in a bumper.

Given Willie Mullins' record in bumpers, FRIENDS is automatically of interest and the hint should be taken if the market speaks in her favour. Ma Bess was a winner of her sole start between the flags and is probably the main danger following an encouraging Rules debut second in a Listowel bumper. I Am Shadow and Marvel Star are others to consider.

With the yard's 68% strike-rate in bumpers it seems folly to overlook the Willie Mullins-trained newcomer FRIENDS

Races from just 2 lb higher here (due to be a further 5 lb higher in future), so fancied to double her tally. Came good with clearcut AW win nine days ago and is 5lb ahead of the handicapper here.
1	3 1st (3) (4.5/1 +0%) Revoquable	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(3) Revoquable 4.5/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 7/2, ran creditably when promoted third of 8 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good to firm) 13 days ago, hampered approaching 2f out. Enters calculations. Has modest strike-rate but ran quite well at Redcar recently (denied clear run).
2	6 2nd (6) (5/1 +38%) Rum Runner	5 5/1(+38%)	(6) Rum Runner 5/1, Twenty-eight runs since last win in 2020. 16/1, was a bit unlucky not to finish closer when second of 9 in handicap at Redcar (7f, good to firm) 2 weeks ago. Each-way claims. Second twice last month but does not have a good record at this track; others preferred.
3	1 3rd (1) (7.5/1 +77%) Jewel Of Kabeir	7.5 7.5/1(+77%)	(1) Jewel Of Kabeir 7.5/1, 66/1 and blinkered for 1st time, wasn't disgraced when seventh of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f). Off 6 months. Down in trip. Visor on 1st time. Placed at big odds in a novice last summer but struggled in handicaps afterwards.
4	9 4th (9) (40/1 +0%) Wrenegade Lad	40 40/1(+0%)	(9) Wrenegade Lad 40/1, 16/1, seventh of 9 in minor event at Ripon (6f, good) 16 days ago. Up in trip. Tough to support. Unable to land a significant blow in three sprints this year; tries a new trip today.
5th	7 5th (7) (150/1 -88%) Lil Bit Of Magic	150 150/1(-88%)	(7) Lil Bit Of Magic 150/1, 125/1 and blinkered for 1st time, fared no better when fourteenth of 15 in handicap at Redcar (7f, good) 39 days ago, though was found to have bled from nose. Yet to show any promise after seven runs and can't be recommended.
6th	8 6th (8) (9/1 +44%) The Muffin Man	9 9/1(+44%)	(8) The Muffin Man 9/1, Never involved when tenth of 13 in handicap (17/2) at Doncaster (7f, firm) 19 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Didn't fire last time but has claims on earlier form; cheekpieces added today.
7th	4 7th (4) (3.5/1 -17%) Rockonmecca	3.5 3.5/1(-17%)	(4) Rockonmecca 3.5/1, 2/1 and blinkered for 1st time, again ran well when second of 8 in handicap at Redcar (7f, good to firm) 2 weeks ago, clear of rest. Sound each-way claims once again. In the frame in all four handicaps but went up 5lb for her recent Redcar second.

LTO Selection:

Rockonmecca finished just over three lengths clear of the third when finishing strongly for the silver medal at Redcar in first-time blinkers, and she can get competitive off 5lb higher. However, a chance can be taken on THE MUFFIN MAN, who put in two solid displays prior to his latest effort, the best being a third-placed finish at Carlisle on his penultimate start, and he could go close in first-time cheekpieces. Last-time-out victor Boom Boom Pow could also get involved.

BOOM BOOM POW belatedly opened her account in impressive fashion under this rider at Kempton 9 days ago and, due to be a further 5 lb higher in future, she can double her tally here. Rockonmecca is yet to finish out of the frame in handicaps, so she may emerge as the main danger, ahead of Revoquable and Rum Runner.

This can go to BOOM BOOM POW (nap) who is effectively only 2lb higher than when opening her account with a convincing AW win last week.

One to note back from a longer break. Went close at Catterick in May and subsequent run at Carlisle may have come too soon.
2	8 2nd (8) (4.5/1 +44%) Sir Maxi	4.5 4.5/1(+44%)	(8) Sir Maxi 4.5/1, Not at best this season but more encouragement when a respectable fourth at Musselburgh a fortnight ago. Fairly treated if he can build on that. Third in this last year and has run okay in fourth the last twice; might not be far away.
3	6 3rd (6) (8.5/1 -31%) Chifa	8.5 8.5/1(-31%)	(6) Chifa 8.5/1, Didn't need to improve to win 8-runner handicap at Wolverhampton in May and backed it up with a creditable second of 6 at Chepstow. Should give another good account. Enjoyed productive spell on AW & transferred improvement back to turf when 2nd at Chepstow.
4	2 4th (2) (3/1 +14%) Danzart	3 3/1(+14%)	(2) Danzart 3/1, On a roll since refitted with a hood, completing hat-trick in 13-runner handicap at Wolverhampton in June and running well once more when runner-up at Newmarket 13 days ago. Thriving sort who can get back to winning ways. Won three in a row before close second at Newmarket and holds solid claims once more.
5th	10 5th (10) (3.6/1 +35%) Go Sing	3.6 3.6/1(+35%)	(10) Go Sing 3.6/1, 6/1, first run since leaving Michael & David Easterby when creditable third of 9 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, firm) 24 days ago.

6th	11 6th (11) (12/1 +76%) Mr Trevor	12 12/1(+76%)	(11) Mr Trevor 12/1, Last 3 wins have come on AW and both outings so far this term have been poor, so others make more appeal. Three AW wins in second half of last year but well beaten on turf on both runs this season.
7th	3 7th (3) (5.5/1 -83%) Covert Mission	5.5 5.5/1(-83%)	(3) Covert Mission 5.5/1, Latest win at Lingfield in April. Has run his race on 2 of 3 subsequent outings but needs to prove he's as good on turf as AW. 0-12 on turf and superior on AW, but given a chance by the handicapper on grass.
8th	7 8th (7) (10/1 +60%) First Greyed	10 10/1(+60%)	(7) First Greyed 10/1, Lost his form towards the end of last year and again failed to beat a rival at Wetherby on return.

DANZART arrives in the form of his life and, but for a determined rival at Newmarket last time, he would be here in search of a five-timer. Conditions are in his favour though, and he may have too much for Chifa, whose best form has been on the all-weather of late. Go Sing caught the eye when third on his first start for the Julie Camacho stable and he is another to consider.

DANZART has been in terrific form lately and, following another excellent run at Newmarket, he's worth a chance to resume winning ways. La Feile is likely to bounce back from a poor run at Carlisle and Chifa should give another good account.

Go Sing is a tempting option but preference is for DANZART who has thrived since the hood went back on.
