13:40 Bangor Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 23f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (4/1 +33%) Camilla's Choice	4 4/1(+33%)	(7) Camilla's Choice 4/1, First run since leaving John Joseph Hanlon when respectable sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (20.4f) a month ago. No surprise were she to build on that. Safely held on last month's stable debut but her chase run here in June maker her a player.
2	6 2nd (6) (3.2/1 -42%) Fine By Me	3.2 3.2/1(-42%)	(6) Fine By Me 3.2/1, Won this race a year ago and better form when hitting the frame twice after from revised mark. Disappointing at Ludlow but could have more to offer this season and clearly very capable fresh. Tongue tie on. Off since October but was fresh when making winning handicap debut in this race in 2022.
3	10 3rd (10) (16/1 -129%) Oneway Express	16 16/1(-129%)	(10) Oneway Express 16/1, Third sole start between the flags in February but little in the way of promise in her qualifying runs. Hopes rest on switch to handicaps and marked step up in trip. Well beaten in three maiden hurdles but may fare better on this handicap debut.
4	2 4th (2) (2.75/1 +45%) Zafar	2.75 2.75/1(+45%)	(2) Zafar 2.75/1, Dropped a long way in the weights and took a big step in the right direction when runner-up on the back of a breathing operation at Stratford 3 weeks ago. Stays this far and now looks well weighted given he's back in form. Not the force of old but chased home very progressive rival last month; shortlisted.
5th	8 5th (8) (66/1 -65%) Dynali	66 66/1(-65%)	(8) Dynali 66/1, Modest maiden who has shaped with little encouragement all 5 outings for current yard. Well handicapped on old form but has struggled for new stable this year.
6th	4 6th (4) (8.5/1 -21%) Rostello	8.5 8.5/1(-21%)	(4) Rostello 8.5/1, Won twice over fences last season but prone to mistakes over both sets of obstacles and not in top form over timber in May/June. 0-10 over hurdles but a four-time chase winner; ran okay last month; a possible.
7th	5 7th (5) (10/1 -25%) Ernesto	10 10/1(-25%)	(5) Ernesto 10/1, Capitalised on a drop in grade when resuming winning ways at Hereford (25f) last autumn but has struggled since. Mark in freefall as a result but could only consider if backed in a change of headgear. Lurks on a dangerous mark but has been out of form this year.
8th	1 8th (1) (8.5/1 +47%) Tommydan	8.5 8.5/1(+47%)	(1) Tommydan 8.5/1, In good heart over hurdles in the autumn and picked up where he left off after a 7-month break when landing 11-runner handicap at Southwell in June. Heavy defeats over both sets of obstacles since, though. Visor replaces cheekpieces. Darted clear to win at Southwell in June but two heavy defeats have followed.
9th	9 9th (9) (28/1 -180%) Cast In Grey	28 28/1(-180%)	(9) Cast In Grey 28/1, Added to patchy record when seventh of 11 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (24.3f, good). Off over 2 years. First run for yard after leaving Graeme McPherson. 0-8 over hurdles and absent since 38l defeat for Graeme McPherson just over two years ago.
10th	3 10th (3) (20/1 +0%) Balkotic	20 20/1(+0%)	(3) Balkotic 20/1, Struck twice last autumn but made a tame comeback at Newcastle 6 weeks ago and unseated at Market Rasen next time. Others preferred. Won two in a row last summer/autumn but yet to hit form again since a break.

LTO Selection:

ZAFAR appeared to have benefitted from recent wind surgery when filling the runner-up spot at Stratford last month. That form has worked out well, with the winner going on to record back-to-back victories subsequently, so he must hold every chance of going one better from a 3lb raised mark. Fine By Me, who won a division of this race last year, hasn't been seen for 288 days but the unexposed six-year-old could play a leading role on his return, while Rostello heads the remainder.

FINE BY ME won this race last year and, given the yard he represents, fitness is no concern on return from 9 months off. Zafar returned to form at Stratford 3 weeks ago and is a threat, along with Camilla's Choice.

The suggestion is ZAFAR, who has become very well handicapped and bumped into a fast-improving rival when a clear second last month.

13:40 Bangor Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 23f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:50 Goodwood Handicap (Class 2) 20f - 17 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	13 1st (13) (6/1 +57%) Temporize	6 6/1(+57%)	(13) Temporize 6/1, Impressed when winning first 2 starts last summer. Form levelled off in handicaps thereafter, but produced a career best on just second start for current yard when runner-up at Ascot (2m) last week, rallying entering final 1f and keeping on well. Well worth a crack at this longer trip. Interesting. 2nd on soft at Ascot last week (2m); longer trip worth a go but other runners appeal more.
2	16 2nd (16) (7.5/1 +17%) Robert Johnson	7.5 7.5/1(+17%)	(16) Robert Johnson 7.5/1, Most progressive this year, overcoming a rise in class to complete a hat-trick in 9-runner handicap at York (16.2f, good) 20 days ago, typically finding plenty. This demands more but further improvement can't be ruled out with this longer trip likely to be within range. 1 lb out of the weights. Northern raider on a roll having won five of his last six and appears to stay all day.
3	17 3rd (17) (6.5/1 +35%) Tronador	6.5 6.5/1(+35%)	(17) Tronador 6.5/1, Resumed winning ways in 10-runner event (17f) at Limerick in June before posting a good third back over hurdles at Bellewstown (16.8f, good) 27 days ago. First run beyond 17f in this sphere. 2 lb out of the weights. In-form Irish raider who has won in Britain; assured stayer; 2lb out of the weights.
4	15 4th (15) (25/1 +0%) Motazzen	25 25/1(+0%)	(15) Motazzen 25/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021, but has run well on all 4 starts this year, including in a first-time visor when third of 8 in 2m handicap at Kempton 23 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Up in trip. Cheekpieces back on. 1 lb out of the weights. 0-10 since arriving from France where he won twice; accustomed to easier races than this.
5th	3 5th (3) (20/1 -11%) The Grand Visir	20 20/1(-11%)	(3) The Grand Visir 20/1, Confirmed all his powers are intact in giving a 3-year younger rival a scare in the Queen Alexandra Stakes (21.6f) at Royal Ascot. Ran below form back in handicap company at Newbury last time but will benefit from a return to this trip. Visor/tongue strap refitted. Lots of form in strong staying handicaps but faster ground would be favoured.
6th	9 6th (9) (10/1 +17%) Aggagio	10 10/1(+17%)	(9) Aggagio 10/1, Won 3 times at this venue last year and produced a career best over hurdles when landing a competitive Haydock handicap in April. Found only one too good back in this sphere here in May but wasn't at his best on most recent outing and not sure to be suited by this sort of test. Excellent course record and had excuses last time; this stamina test could suit him.
7th	8 7th (8) (18/1 +0%) Emiyn	18 18/1(+0%)	(8) Emiyn 18/1, Proved better than ever when opening his account for the season in 10-runner handicap at Chester (14.4f, heavy) 20 days ago. Received a good ride on that occasion and will likely prove vulnerable from a 5 lb higher mark over this much longer trip. Made all last time at Chester; unlikely to get a soft lead this time and 5lb higher.
8th	4 8th (4) (14/1 -40%) Typewriter	14 14/1(-40%)	(4) Typewriter 14/1, Useful performer who shaped as if still in good form when fourth of 9 in Queen Alexandra Stakes at Royal Ascot (21.6f) last time, quickening to press leader over 1f out before stamina gave out. Will benefit from this slightly shorter trip and one to consider. Didn't quite last home over 2m5f at Ascot and has softer ground to deal with here.
9th	1 9th (1) (6.5/1 -8%) Calling The Wind	6.5 6.5/1(-8%)	(1) Calling The Wind 6.5/1, Reliable sort who won this corresponding race in 2021 and, back in headgear, returned to winning ways with a fine performance in the Northumberland Plate (Handicap) at Newcastle (16.2f) 34 days ago. Should give another good account back up in trip. Knows what these staying handicaps are all about and he can cope with this mark.
10th	10 10th (10) (22/1 +12%) Land Of Winter	22 22/1(+12%)	(10) Land Of Winter 22/1, Relished a return to softer going and snapped a losing run stretching back to 2021 in 4-runner handicap at Beverley (16.2f, good to soft) 17 days ago, going clear inside final 1f. Quite what he achieved there is open to question, however. Beverley winner but it's unconvincing that he's in good enough form to win this.
11th	7 11th (7) (12/1 -20%) Vino Victrix	12 12/1(-20%)	(7) Vino Victrix 12/1, Enjoyed a productive 2022 campaign, runner-up in Cesarewitch (18f) at Newmarket. Has yet to hit top form this season but looks to be coming to the boil again and is worth a try at this longer trip. Struggled this term and may need faster ground if he's to recapture last year's highs.
12th	5 12th (5) (7/1 +36%) Law Of The Sea	7 7/1(+36%)	(5) Law Of The Sea 7/1, Shaped well first 3 starts for new yard, including when excellent fourth in Ascot Stakes at Royal Ascot in June. Struck into and run best excused when well held in Northumberland Plate at Newcastle since. Expected to bounce back. Solid form in strong staying handicaps before an excusable defeat in Northumberland Plate.
13th	18 13th (18) (150/1 -127%) Arabescato	150 150/1(-127%)	(18) Arabescato 150/1, Failed to come on for recent run when only seventh of 13 at Catterick (15.9f) 23 days ago and faces a stiff task from well out of the weights here. Has left John Butler. Lost his way since his fourth 12 months ago and is 15lb out of the weights this time.
14th	2 14th (2) (8.5/1 +29%) Tritonic	8.5 8.5/1(+29%)	(2) Tritonic 8.5/1, Course winner who got straight back on track with cheekpieces discarded when third of 19 in Ascot Stakes at Royal Ascot (20f, good) 45 days agio. staying on. Likely to go well again. Fine on soft ground normally but he may appreciate quicker conditions over quite this far.
15th	12 15th (12) (40/1 +0%) Winterwatch	40 40/1(+0%)	(12) Winterwatch 40/1, Made a winning start for this yard at Kempton in June 2022. Hasn't gone on since, though did at least fare better than on his reappearance when sixth of 14 at Newcastle (16.2f) 34 days ago, albeit promising a bit more than he delivered. Up in trip. Quiet on the AW this campaign and faces a big ask at this level returned to turf.
16th	14 16th (14) (14/1 +0%) Mostly Sunny	14 14/1(+0%)	(14) Mostly Sunny 14/1, Dual winner in 2022 who ran up to his best returned to the all-weather when second in 14-runner handicap at Newcastle (16.2f) 34 days ago, rallying. Should be suited by this longer trip and can't be dismissed. Still learning his trade as a stayer and improved form on the AW last time (2m).
17th	6 17th (6) (28/1 -40%) Prince Imperial	28 28/1(-40%)	(6) Prince Imperial 28/1, Useful 14f scorer last autumn for Richard Hughes. Winless over hurdles through the winter and beat only one home back on the level in 2m Newbury handicap in April, but stopped the slide to some extent tried tongue tied and refitted with a visor on his first outing for his new yard at Royal Ascot. On last winning mark and all things considered he didn't run badly in the Ascot Stakes.

LTO Selection:

A competitive renewal which sees several intriguing contenders lining up, including 2021 winner Calling The Wind. He arrives here following a career-best effort when taking the Northumberland Plate and cannot be dismissed off 4lb higher. That being said, TEMPORIZE was only narrowly denied when securing a staying-on second over 2m at Ascot last month and, with the potential for more to come, is fancied to get the better of Irish raider Tronador. Hydroplane and Emiyn appeal most of the remainder.

TEMPORIZE stuck to his task gamely when runner-up at Ascot last week and could raise his game further now tackling an extreme distance, so he's put forward as the answer. Law of The Sea had been shaping up really well for his new yard prior to being struck into in the Northumberland Plate, so there's a good chance he'll bounce back here, while Typewriter and Calling The Wind are others of interest

Calling The Wind is hard to knock but LAW OF THE SEA was unlucky not to win the Chester Cup on his only soft-ground start.

13:50 Goodwood Handicap (Class 2) 20f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 14f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (9/1 -50%) Ghostly	9 9/1(-50%)	(7) Ghostly 9/1, Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 20/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (11.1f, good) 15 days ago. Back up in trip. Dual course winner who twice finished placed over C&D off higher marks earlier in the year.
2	8 2nd (8) (8.5/1 -70%) Buford	8.5 8.5/1(-70%)	(8) Buford 8.5/1, 6/1, creditable sixth of 11 in minor event at Musselburgh (12.5f, good) 10 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Hasn't achieved much when going beyond 1m4f previously but arrives in form; player.
3	2 3rd (2) (2/1 +0%) Geelong	2 2/1(+0%)	(2) Geelong 2/1, Won here on debut. 5/1, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Bath (14f, good) 9 days ago. This isn't a great race and he can go well. Winless since his 2yo debut here but is on a competitive mark now; goes on the shortlist.
4	9 4th (9) (28/1 -12%) The Resdev Way	28 28/1(-12%)	(9) The Resdev Way 28/1, Course winner. 18/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Bath (13f, good) 23 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Five-time Tapeta winner (two here) who's into the veteran stage and on the downgrade.
5th	4 5th (4) (2/1 +40%) Socialist Agenda	2 2/1(+40%)	(4) Socialist Agenda 2/1, Multiple bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler who's almost certainly capable of better now upped appreciably in distance for Flat handicap debut. Lots to like. Three-time bumper winner who'll appreciate this much stiffer test now handicapping; claims.
6th	5 6th (5) (18/1 +18%) Kitten's Dream	18 18/1(+18%)	(5) Kitten's Dream 18/1, C&D winner. Eighth of 10 in handicap (22/1) at Newcastle (16.2f) 6 days ago. Went close from the front here off 8lb higher in the spring but does need to bounce back.
7th	10 7th (10) (66/1 -89%) Eaux De Vie	66 66/1(-89%)	(10) Eaux De Vie 66/1, Poor maiden. Eighth of 10 in handicap at Bath (13f, good, 80/1) 23 days ago. Missed a chunk of her career; nothing in two runs back to suggest she's about to take this.
8th	6 8th (6) (7/1 +22%) Pyrrhic Dancer	7 7/1(+22%)	(6) Pyrrhic Dancer 7/1, Creditable sixth of 13 in handicap at this course (16.6f, 100/1) 60 days ago. One to consider. Maiden who's still to finish placed; wouldn't be without hope down in trip though.
9th	3 9th (3) (25/1 -108%) Jersey Gift	25 25/1(-108%)	(3) Jersey Gift 25/1, Modest maiden. First run since leaving Jamie Osborne when fifth of 6 in handicap (16/1) at Ffos Las (16f, good) 31 days ago. Picked up for just 1,200gns; no immediate promise for his new yard a month ago.
10th	1 10th (1) (16/1 -33%) Cinco Saltos	16 16/1(-33%)	(1) Cinco Saltos 16/1, Modest maiden handicapper, below form last 2 starts (has had breathing operation since latest 143 days ago). Has undergone wind surgery since last seen in March and would want to see some support.

LTO Selection:

GEELONG has been running well in defeat recently, emphasised when finishing a one-length fourth at Bath nine days ago. Eased 1lb in the ratings following that performance, the son of Australia has become attractively handicapped judged on past exploits and he might be ready to take advantage. Handicap debutant Socialist Agenda must enter calculations, while first-time blinkers could spark an improved performance from Buford.

Not a strong race and GEELONG can gain a deserved second success back on AW after a run of good efforts. Fairly useful hurdler Socialist Agenda is very interesting now handicapping in this sphere. Pyrrhic Dancer should be in the mix for the places.

Buford (second choice) has claims but GEELONG has found his level now and can break a losing run back at the scene of his sole win.

14:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 14f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:10 Bangor Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 23f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	9 1st (9) (11/1 +21%) Dakota Beat	11 11/1(+21%)	(9) Dakota Beat 11/1, One of better efforts for current yard when sixth of 12 at Market Rasen in June but failed to repeat that effort at Stratford and is just out of the weights again. Best effort for some time when sixth two starts ago but didn't back it up latest.
2	2 2nd (2) (2.75/1 +21%) Taragrace	2.75 2.75/1(+21%)	(2) Taragrace 2.75/1, Won twice early in 2022 and better than ever under this conditional when second of 13 over 19.6f in April. Off since but stays this far and she's in very good hands. Not seen since close second over shorter trip here in April; in the reckoning if staying.
3	1 3rd (1) (5/1 +9%) Sinndarella	5 5/1(+9%)	(1) Sinndarella 5/1, Hasn't progressed since landing the odds in a 3-runner mares' novice at Ludlow in October 2021 but latest second at Cartmel in June was a solid showing and there's reason to think she'll go well again. Good second latest but only 1-41 in career and risky for win purposes.
4	7 4th (7) (28/1 -100%) Punches Cross	28 28/1(-100%)	(7) Punches Cross 28/1, Useful handicap chaser at best for Joseph Patrick O'Brien but form has gone the wrong way for his current trainer, always behind over hurdles last week. Mark tumbling but can only be of interest if the market vibes are positive in re-fitted cheekpieces. Unplaced all British starts, the latest when tailed off over hurdles last week.
5th	6 5th (6) (3.5/1 -17%) Sunshine Girl	3.5 3.5/1(-17%)	(6) Sunshine Girl 3.5/1, Upped further in trip and signed off time for Stuart Crawford in the perfect fashion at Southwell 17 days ago. Has to be of interest for new yard. Southwell winner on first attempt at 3m; up 4lb; debut for yard; strong claims.
6th	5 6th (5) (7/1 +30%) Getthepot	7 7/1(+30%)	(5) Getthepot 7/1, Doubled chase tally last year but refused last at Fakenham on final 2022 start. Little promise both starts in June and has left Fergal O'Brien. Had a wind op and reverts to timber. Out of sorts over fences this June; stable debut after wind surgery; enough to prove.
7th	8 7th (8) (4.5/1 -13%) Buto	4.5 4.5/1(-13%)	(8) Buto 4.5/1, Belatedly off the mark at Hexham in May and has remained in form since at that venue. Should give his running again. Hexham win in May and placed twice there since; entitled to be involved.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (16/1 +0%) Black Buble	16 16/1(+0%)	(3) Black Buble 16/1, Fair handicap hurdler but lightly raced in recent times and hard to know how much ability he retains. This is a drop in grade, though. Well beaten twice in June after more than a year off.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (66/1 -267%) Journey West	66 66/1(-267%)	(4) Journey West 66/1, Tongue tie on and a bit more loke it when seventh at Ayr in March. Since left Colin A.McBratney. 1-16 in Ireland and not at best when last seen in March; stable debut.

LTO Selection:

Sinndarella finished a creditable second at Cartmel last time out and she merits respect on the back of that effort, but preference is for SUNSHINE GIRL. Gary Hanmer's new recruit found improvement when stepped up to an extended 3m at Southwell last month, where she was comfortably on top at the finish. Given that she's unexposed over staying trips, a subsequent 4lb rise doesn't look beyond her. Buto is fancied to chase the pair home.

SUNSHINE GIRL is unexposed over this trip, and having got off the mark on final start for Stuart Crawford recently, is taken to double her tally. Buto is pretty reliable at this level, while Taragrace has to be considered on her return to action.

Having won in good style at Southwell, SUNSHINE GIRL (nap) can make a winning stable debut.

14:10 Bangor Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 23f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:25 Goodwood Group 3 (Class 1) 8f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (6/1 +29%) Epictetus	6 6/1(+29%)	(3) Epictetus 6/1, Smart form at 2 yrs, ending the campaign with a good runner-up effort in Futurity Trophy at Doncaster. Made a winning return at Epsom and ran up to best when fifth in both the Dante and Prix du Jockey Club, before shaping a bit better than result when down the field at Royal Ascot last time. Has become exposed over 1m2f this term; solid second in his 1m attempts last October.
2	7 2nd (7) (0.67/1 -8%) Nostrum	0.67 0.67/1(-8%)	(7) Nostrum 0.67/1, Built on the promise of his winning debut when landing Group 3 at Newmarket last autumn, though couldn't manage another step forward when third in the Dewhurst. However, after 9 months off he resumed progress with impressive success in listed race back at Newmarket 22 days ago. Exciting prospect. Newmarket reappearance win took record to 3-4; top on form and promises to improve further.
3	4 3rd (4) (14/1 +30%) Galeron	14 14/1(+30%)	(4) Galeron 14/1, Seemed to excel himself when 5 lengths fourth of 14 to Chaldean in 2000 Guineas at Newmarket, but backed that up when 3¼ lengths fifth of 11 to Paddington in Irish 2000 Guineas at the Curragh next time. However, not in the same form at Royal Ascot, so bounce back now called for. Drops back in class but looks the most exposed runner and rating may flatter him.
4	5 4th (5) (18/1 +0%) Knight	18 18/1(+0%)	(5) Knight 18/1, Made a winning debut in fine style at Yarmouth and stepped forward from that effort when following up in Horris Hill Stakes at Newbury. However, after 6 months off he finished well held in the Greenham back at Newbury and hasn't been seen since. It remains early days, though (has been gelded). 2-2 last term; gelded since disappointing Greenham effort; may still have more to offer.
5th	1 5th (1) (22/1 -57%) Bold Discovery	22 22/1(-57%)	(1) Bold Discovery 22/1, Campaigned as a smart prospect and showed that sort of form when winning listed race at the Curragh a month ago, responding well to see off the challenge of the favourite. Could have more still to offer, though was possibly helped by firmer ground on his latest outing. Took his form to a new level in Curragh Listed race last time; may build on that win.
6th	2 6th (2) (4/1 +20%) Docklands	4 4/1(+20%)	(2) Docklands 4/1, Has quickly developed into a smart performer, completing his hat-trick in Britannia Stakes at Royal Ascot having again travelled powerfully through the race. Pulled clear of the rest of his group last time and he looks well worth his place at this higher level. Landed the Britannia most recently; improving colt who has clear Group-race potential.
7th	6 7th (6) (100/1 -52%) Montesilvano	100 100/1(-52%)	(6) Montesilvano 100/1, Off the mark at the second attempt in Leopardstown maiden last July and got back on the up when third of 5 in Group 3 at Deauville the following month, However, he's been off for 11 months since (has been gelded), with tongue strap now applied. Looks to be up against it. Badly lacks recent match practice and is bottom of this pack on ratings.

LTO Selection:

Connections of NOSTRUM must have been very tempted by the Sussex Stakes, but the decision to keep their sights lower for the time being should be rewarded. A third in last year's Dewhurst remains his sole defeat and the way he powered clear of his rivals on his Newmarket comeback strongly suggested that he is a Group 1 winner in waiting. Galeron emerged from a couple of Classics with credit, while Docklands continued on his upward curve when landing the Britannia. Epictetus and Knight are on retrieval missions.

Having looked an excellent prospect when winning his first 2 starts, NOSTRUM resumed his progress on his reappearance with an impressive success in a Newmarket listed race last month. The son of Kingman is the one to beat, though Docklands has been most progressive this season and looks ready for this step up in grade. Epictetus is the pick of the remainder.

The forecast slow ground is an unknown for Nostrum, who otherwise holds strong claims. DOCKLANDS is a plausible alternative.

14:35 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 5) 12f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (0.62/1 +25%) Harappan	0.62 0.62/1(+25%)	(3) Harappan 0.62/1, Promising type. 50/1, third of 10 in minor event at Newcastle (10.2f) on debut 44 days ago. Up in trip. First run for yard after leaving John Butler. Will take the beating. Clear third at Newcastle on sole run for John Butler; sets the standard on that.
2	4 2nd (4) (1.75/1 +30%) Swift Hawk	1.75 1.75/1(+30%)	(4) Swift Hawk 1.75/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fourth of 6 in handicap at Haydock (11.6f, firm, 15/8) 28 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Makes tapeta debut. Has shown ability but needs to settle better in another small field.
3	1 3rd (1) (33/1 -313%) Renoir	33 33/1(-313%)	(1) Renoir 33/1, Debut third in Bangor bumper but only eighth of 10 in bumper at Stratford (16.3f, good) next time, and just a fair level when fifth of 11 in maiden at Pontefract (10f, good to soft, 125/1) on Flat debut 24 days ago. Up in trip.. Plenty more is required in this sphere. Shown enough in bumpers/one Flat start to suggest he can win but maybe when handicapping.
4	2 4th (2) (14/1 -155%) Royal Max	14 14/1(-155%)	(2) Royal Max 14/1, Modest form over hurdles, back on track when third on handicap debut last time. Improvement needed switched to the Flat. Looked to have stamina issues in bumpers and over hurdles; yard 3-7 on the Flat this year.
5th	5 5th (5) (33/1 +18%) Truth Will Out	33 33/1(+18%)	(5) Truth Will Out 33/1, Outstrip gelding. Dam 2m-17f winner. 33/1, last of 7 in minor event at Newbury (10f, good to firm) on debut 22 days ago. Up in trip. Big step forward needed. Inclined to hang left when a remote last on his debut three weeks ago.

LTO Selection:

HARAPPAN shaped with significant promise at Newcastle on his debut, where he travelled smoothly into contention. The three-year-old didn't have the pace to match the front two, but he looks certain to benefit from a step up in trip and is taken to strike at the second time of asking. Swift Hawk is the main danger, while market support for the Nicky Henderson-trained Royal Max would be interesting.

Hard to look beyond HARAPPAN who outran his odds on debut at Newcastle and looks open to improvement after a quick trainer change. Swift Hawk is next best on form but more exposed. while Nicky Henderson's Royal Max has shown a bit over hurdles and can't be discounted on Flat debut, particularly if the market speaks in his favour.

Picked up for 150,000gns after a promising debut in June, HARAPPAN can get off the mark at the main expense of Royal Max.

1	7 1st (7) (1.88/1 +71%) On Cloud Nine	1.88 1.88/1(+71%)	(7) On Cloud Nine 1.88/1, Runner-up completed starts in points and has displayed slightly more encouraging signs over hurdles recently, shaping better than the distance beaten suggests when sixth of 12 on handicap debut at Worcester (16f, good to soft) 25 days ago, weakening only late on. Up in trip. Form is fairly moderate but entitles her to play a part; up in trip.
2	5 2nd (5) (14/1 +44%) Maggie O	14 14/1(+44%)	(5) Maggie O 14/1, Irish point winner at third attempt but well held both starts under Rules (bumper/novice hurdle). Irish point winner; no great promise in a bumper on on hurdle debut; up in trip.
3	3 3rd (3) (5.5/1 +15%) Gamesters Girl	5.5 5.5/1(+15%)	(3) Gamesters Girl 5.5/1, Hinted at ability in bumpers and made an encouraging debut in this sphere in a first-time hood after 5 months off when third at Bangor (19.6f) in September. However, has failed to repeat that form since and carried his head high at Musselburgh on most recent outing in March. Hood back on. Ran well over C&D last September but nowhere near as good since.
4	4 4th (4) (12/1 +33%) Hedera Park	12 12/1(+33%)	(4) Hedera Park 12/1, Fair in bumpers but looks more one for handicaps on early evidence over hurdles. Up in trip. Has to improve on two recent efforts but definitely not out of this.
5th	6 5th (6) (4.5/1 -13%) Mays Hill	4.5 4.5/1(-13%)	(6) Mays Hill 4.5/1, Bumper winner who showed a bit more than on hurdling debut when third in 6-runner novice at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Up in trip and may do better again. Bumper winner; tailed off on hurdle debut but better latest; needs more but possible.
6th	10 6th (10) (7.5/1 +17%) Sunday Soldier	7.5 7.5/1(+17%)	(10) Sunday Soldier 7.5/1, Verging on fair in bumpers but ran a long way below that level sent hurdling on first outing out for new yard at Southwell 10 days ago. Needs to leave that well behind to play a leading role. Placed in bumpers but beaten 30l on recent stable/hurdle debut.
7th	8 7th (8) (33/1 -106%) Out On A Jink	33 33/1(-106%)	(8) Out On A Jink 33/1, Westerner mare. Sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Wicked West. Dam (h112), 2m hurdle winner, half-sister to useful chaser (stayed 3m) Enjoy Responsibly. Market for clues. No promise in two Irish points; hurdle debut.
8th	2 8th (2) (16/1 +52%) Fog On The Tyne	16 16/1(+52%)	(2) Fog On The Tyne 16/1, Smallish mare who made little impact in 2 bumpers for Sandy Forster in early 2022. Can only be watched on hurdle/stable debut unless the betting suggests otherwise. Well held in two bumpers; worth market look on stable/hurdle debut after an absence.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (7/1 -56%) Sholokhov Cocktail	7 7/1(-56%)	(9) Sholokhov Cocktail 7/1, Showed more than on her sole outing in bumpers when second of 7 in selling hurdle at Southwell (15.8f, good to soft) on debut in this sphere 32 days ago. Player up in trip. Just two starts; second in a seller on hurdle debut but that still makes her of interest.

LTO Selection:

MAYS HILL has yet to add to her Fontwell bumper success, but the daughter of Kayf Tara looks sure to appreciate a step up in trip having kept on for third at Uttoxeter last month. Fergal O'Brien's charge is taken to repel the likely challenge of Flora Paget, who sets the standard on official ratings and is eased back into maiden company. Hedera Park and On Cloud Nine are others who merit consideration.

FLORA PAGET seems to be finding her feet now over hurdles and looks well up to landing a race of this nature, so she receives the vote. The step up in trip should suit both Mays Hill and Sholokhov Cocktail and they head the dangers.

It was only a seller in which SHOLOKHOV COCKTAIL finished second but the form looks solid enough.

1	6 1st (6) (25/1 -14%) Johan	25 25/1(-14%)	(6) Johan 25/1, Smart handicapper who was perked up by a yard switch when winning the 2022 Lincoln on his reappearance. Failed to scale same heights in 3 subsequent outings but clearly very capable fresh and just 1 lb above that successful mark. 4th in the 2021 running; won Lincoln on reappearance for new yard in 2022 off similar mark.
2	18 2nd (18) (14/1 +30%) The Gatekeeper	14 14/1(+30%)	(18) The Gatekeeper 14/1, Made a winning return from long absence at Newcastle (7f) in March and went in again on the Rowley Course (7f, good) in May. Back from a quiet spell when second of 5 a week ago but this wll place more emphasis on his stamina. In form but stamina the sticking point when it came to the crunch in both his 1m handicaps.
3	17 3rd (17) (11/1 +0%) Dutch Decoy	11 11/1(+0%)	(17) Dutch Decoy 11/1, Five-time 7f/1m winner in 2022 and gained reward for a very consistent spell when adding to tally at Newmarket a fortnight ago. 3 lb penalty to carry but he's clearly in excellent nick and has the services of Frankie Dettori. Good 4th over 1m1f here last year; deserved recent 1m win; best on good/quicker ground.
4	16 4th (16) (50/1 +0%) Darkness	50 50/1(+0%)	(16) Darkness 50/1, First success for this yard when seeing off 7 rivals at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) 3 weeks ago. Softer ground no issue for him and he should remain competitive under 3 lb penalty. Hard to place for this yard until winning over 1m at Newmarket; more to do at this level.
5th	5 5th (5) (20/1 -25%) Sonny Liston	20 20/1(-25%)	(5) Sonny Liston 20/1, Useful 7f winner at his best for Charlie Hills. Ended 2022 out of sorts but excellent start for Ralph Beckett, fitted with blinkers and first home on his side of the track when second in the Royal Hunt Cup. Too free to last home in the John Smith's Cup at York and quickly back at 1m. Best form when 2nd in the Hunt Cup (1m, good); faded over 1m2f since; ground query.
6th	4 6th (4) (28/1 -40%) The Wizard Of Eye	28 28/1(-40%)	(4) The Wizard Of Eye 28/1, Useful colt who was out of his depth in the Lockinge at Newbury land faced with a more realistic assignment, he failed to beat a rival in the John of Gaunt Stakes at Haydock. Belated handicap debut and mark looks stiff on balance. Ran a cracker in C&D Group 3 last July; usually kept to good or quicker; handicap debut.
7th	11 7th (11) (11/1 +31%) Perotto	11 11/1(+31%)	(11) Perotto 11/1, Caught the eye when seventh in Ascot's Victoria Cup but made his effort earlier than ideal when tenth of 30 in Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot. Fitted with a hood and confirmed that promise when scoring at Sandown and of serious interest under 3 lb penalty given he's unexposed for Roger Varian. Dual course winner; ended losing run latest; well treated despite penalty; ground query.
8th	2 8th (2) (25/1 +24%) Al Mubhir	25 25/1(+24%)	(2) Al Mubhir 25/1, Progressive profile last year and improved again to win a 1m Leicester handicap (heavy) in April. Sound-enough efforts in listed company since and deteriorating ground in his favour back in handicap company. Suited by soft/heavy; now 9lb higher than 1m Leicester win in April; T Marquand on Lattam.
9th	12 9th (12) (33/1 -32%) Orbaan	33 33/1(-32%)	(12) Orbaan 33/1, Came good at this time last year with wins in this corresponding race and classified stakes at Ascot (both good to firm). In-and-out form this year, though this race probably his primary target. Hasn't had much exposure to this sort of ground in recent times. Won this in fine style last year (good to firm); different ground and still 9lb higher.
10th	8 10th (8) (9/1 +25%) Blue For You	9 9/1(+25%)	(8) Blue For You 9/1, Proved a model of consistency (runner-up in this race) prior to deservedly opening his account for this yard at York in August, staying on to lead line. Landed a few bets when adding to his tally on the Knavesmire in July and looks well treated under 3 lb penalty. Luckless 2nd in this race last year; impressive on good to soft latest; due a 3lb rise.
11th	21 11th (21) (50/1 -25%) Dual Identity	50 50/1(-25%)	(21) Dual Identity 50/1, Improved throughout 2022, finishing third behind Majestic in Cambridgeshire (first home in his group) final outing. Probably in better heart than his 2023 form figures suggest. Very capable at this level but not at best this year and well held in the Hunt Cup in June.
12th	9 12th (9) (18/1 +0%) Bopedro	18 18/1(+0%)	(9) Bopedro 18/1, Irish Cambridgeshire winner in 2021 who struck for this yard at Newmarket (1m) in April. Placed twice since and much better than the result at Ascot on Saturday, short of room and finishing well. Return to 1m very much in his favour and ground no issue. Tougher task than 1m win in April; yard looks to have stronger candidates elsewhere.
13th	1 13th (1) (40/1 +20%) Escobar	40 40/1(+20%)	(1) Escobar 40/1, Smart handicap performance when winning 17-runner contest over 7f at Ascot in October. Yet to scale same heights in 2023 and assessor isn't relinquishing grip. Stays 1m fine but looks up against it. Good 3rd in this race in 2021; soft ground will suit; squeak at a price.
14th	3 14th (3) (6/1 +40%) Awaal	6 6/1(+40%)	(3) Awaal 6/1, Excellent second of 22 in Lincoln at Doncaster (1m, heavy) on reappearance. Likely found race coming too soon when last in French Listed race 19 days later and quickly back on the up with a brace of excellent placed efforts in high-end handicaps. Return to 1m no issue and cheekpieces now on. Very solid form in top 1m and 7f handicaps, including on heavy; H Davies claims handy 3lb.
15th	13 15th (13) (5/1 -43%) Lattam	5 5/1(-43%)	(13) Lattam 5/1, Overcame trouble to land Irish Lincolnshire at the Curragh on return and having split a couple of subsequent winners when runner-up at Newbury, he made a successful AW debut at Newcastle in June. Handles cut and limit not yet reached. Left it late for 1m wins on testing ground and AW; up 1lb for latter; can improve further.
16th	19 16th (19) (10/1 +38%) Rhoscolyn	10 10/1(+38%)	(19) Rhoscolyn 10/1, Seventh from a much higher mark in this a year ago. Plenty of good efforts in defeat since and won 11-runner handicap (2/1) at this course (7f, heavy) 2 days ago. Enters calculations on the back of that. 2nd here in 2021, 7th last year; well treated; won lesser race over 7f here on Wednesday.
17th	7 17th (7) (8/1 -14%) Tacarib Bay	8 8/1(-14%)	(7) Tacarib Bay 8/1, Developed into a smart sort last year, including third in Balmoral Handicap over 1m last October. Ran right up to form on Wolverhampton reappearance in March and having been gelded on the back of a brace of lesser efforts, he caught the eye in no uncertain terms at Ascot, winning his side. Course form at 7f; useful effort in valuable 1m race at Ascot in October; has won on soft.
18th	20 18th (20) (8.5/1 +6%) Racingbreaks Ryder	8.5 8.5/1(+6%)	(20) Racingbreaks Ryder 8.5/1, Off the mark at the fourth attempt at Brighton on final start on 2 yrs and picked up where he left off with a hat-trick of 3-y-o handicap wins. Too free to last out at Royal Ascot but given a break and he could easily resume his progress. Acts well on soft; progressive at 7f and 1m before beaten long way out at Royal Ascot.
19th	14 19th (14) (33/1 +34%) Eilean Dubh	33 33/1(+34%)	(14) Eilean Dubh 33/1, Enjoyed a fine 2022 competing in the Sunday Series, winning 4 times in all last year. Mixed bag initially this spring but confirmed more positive signs from Sandown when successful in first-time tongue tie at Hamilton (8.3f). Latest third suggests he's still in excellent heart. Back to best at Hamilton in July; well held by Blue For You since; recent rain not ideal.
20th	10 20th (10) (11/1 +8%) Revich	11 11/1(+8%)	(10) Revich 11/1, Resumed winning ways at Chester in May and would have finished a shade closer with a clear run when fourth at Sandown a month ago. Same mark here and has landed inside stall. Soft-ground winner in May; late headway into 3rd in this race last year; in the picture.

LTO Selection:

Blue For You was runner-up to stable companion Orbaan in last year's renewal and the five-year-old arrives 3lb well-in under a penalty following a comfortable success at York. Awaal warrants plenty of consideration based on his efforts in big-field handicaps and the return to softer ground, along with first-time cheekpieces, will benefit him, but the vote goes to LATTAM. William Haggas' four-year-old has plenty in his favour and may still have further improvement to come following his victories at the Curragh and Newcastle so far this term.

BLUE FOR YOU was 9 lb lower in the weights when runner-up in this race a year ago but he arrives in even better form this time, running out a decisive winner at York 3 weeks ago. On that evidence a 3 lb penalty leaves him just about the pick at the weights, though low-mileage 4-y-o Lattam demands respect. Of the others, first-time cheekpieces may enable Awaal to pull out even more and he's effective in the mud.

Lattam is even better than he has shown but AWAAL (nap) has very solid form in big handicaps and he acts well on testing ground.

Slightly better effort on debut but more needed. Doesn't look short of early speed, so the drop to 5f and getting back on the AW may help.

Should have more to offer but looks one more for haandicaps. Well held in three starts on turf; likely to have more chance in modest nurseries.
7th	7 7th (7) (7/1 -56%) Miss Woo Woo	7 7/1(-56%)	(7) Miss Woo Woo 7/1, Lightly-raced filly. 15/2, respectable third of 10 in minor event at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Third in last two starts, but has 3l to find with Mc Loven on latest form; cheekpieces on.

Closely related to winner up to 6f Throttle Control and useful 5f/6f winner Atacama and half-brother to a winner, all abroad. Dam maiden (stayed 6f). Wears hood. May be best watched on debut unless the market suggests otherwise; hood on.

LTO Selection:

MC LOVEN left the form of his debut behind when only narrowly denied at Lingfield nine days ago, and any further improvement can see the Harry Angel colt shed his maiden tag here. Miss Woo Woo, who finished third in that same contest, might improve for the fitting of first-time cheekpieces, while Pressure's On and Fly Pass complete the shortlist.

MC LOVEN stands out on form and is easily the most likely winner. Miss Woo Woo and Fly Pass can fight it out for minor honours.

The vote goes to MC LOVEN who was only just caught on turf at Lingfield last time and could well step forward again.

4	11 4th (11) (6.5/1 -18%) Lighthouse Mill	6.5 6.5/1(-18%)	(11) Lighthouse Mill 6.5/1, Has been thriving all spring/summer, winning at Stratford and still showing yet more improvement to go close at Market Rasen 13 days ago. Up another 3 lb and one to note. Consistent and improving but only one win and takes a rise in class; often leads.
5th	2 5th (2) (6/1 +20%) Inca Prince	6 6/1(+20%)	(2) Inca Prince 6/1, Free-going front runner who won a pair of Musselburgh juveniles at the start of 2022. It's largely been a struggle since, but he was better than the result at Aintree over this trip 11 weeks ago and a return to positive tactics would see him in a better light. Interesting. Appeared to stay this trip when close fifth in May; wind surgery since; not discounted.

Stamina to prove on first run for 13 months. One to note in the betting. Narrow winner in June 2022; absent since; first attempt at this trip.
7th	1 7th (1) (20/1 -43%) Finest View	20 20/1(-43%)	(1) Finest View 20/1, Won 4 on the bounce for Alan King in spring 2022. Would have run respectably if completing (fell usual 2 out) at Warwick in May but well beaten 2 months on at Stratford. Others preferred. Yet to win for this yard and well beaten latest.
8th	6 8th (6) (16/1 +0%) Minella Plus	16 16/1(+0%)	(6) Minella Plus 16/1, Took well to chasing, landing handicaps at Hexham and Ludlow (both at around 2m) in the autumn, but was below form back in this sphere when last seen. Tailed off when last seen in March and looks stable second string.
9th	3 9th (3) (11/1 +21%) Onward Route	11 11/1(+21%)	(3) Onward Route 11/1, Dual winner last summer and ran best race in handicaps when second in 2m Hexham contest in May. Not so good back up in trip next time and cheekpieces now added back from a break. Has run well enough in latest two starts to have chances, especially if cheekpieces help.

Poor this term but has dropped in the weights. Change of headgear. Good effort three starts ago but not built on it; blinkers now tried.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (3/1 +0%) Clody Flyer	3 3/1(+0%)	(7) Clody Flyer 3/1, Point winner who has made a good start over hurdles for new connections, winning 2m maiden/novice events at Uttoxeter and Kelso in May. Found only a well-treated one too good on handicap debut last time and remains with potential now up in trip. Beaten favourite on handicap debut but may well do better now stepped up in trip.

LTO Selection:

Clody Flyer was second at Southwell last time and he has been left on the same mark, but he does take a step into the unknown over this trip, so INCA PRINCE just shades the vote. The son of Fast Company takes a drop in class after finishing fifth at Aintree in May and he ought to go very close off the same rating. Oslo warrants a market check as he returns from a long absence.

INCA PRINCE wasn't beaten far at Aintree 11 weeks ago and looks interesting back down in class. Clody Flyer is interesting up in trip after a good start in handicaps at Southwell. Bucko's Boy and Lighthouse Mill are also considered.

Plenty to consider but BUCKO'S BOY has every chance on his good third when last seen in May.

Bit more needed again. Continues to improve; useful 2nd to Equality at Sandown last month; good/quicker suits.
5th	7 5th (7) (33/1 +0%) Kerdos	33 33/1(+0%)	(7) Kerdos 33/1, Two from 2 over 6f last term and cracking effort in the 3-y-o 5f handicap at Royal Ascot, beaten only a neck (possibly would have won had he not drifted left). Not ideally placed when well backed at York last time (Nymphadora first, Silky Wilkie second) and retains potential. Improved for drop to 5f; smart handicap form at Ascot; up against it in first Group race.
6th	3 6th (3) (66/1 -32%) Ponntos	66 66/1(-32%)	(3) Ponntos 66/1, Smart sprinter at his best, not beaten far in fifth in this last year, but has been some way below that form in recent starts. Hard to fancy. Talented front-runner; French Group 3 winner in 2022 and a close 5th in this race.
7th	1 7th (1) (6.5/1 +0%) Equality	6.5 6.5/1(+0%)	(1) Equality 6.5/1, Has really found his feet of late, dominating a smart field when landing Sandown Group 3 last month, coming clear of Makarova. Solid claims on that form. Minor C&D form; improved mightily in a hood on last 2 starts; has won on good to soft.
8th	10 8th (10) (11/1 +21%) Nymphadora	11 11/1(+21%)	(10) Nymphadora 11/1, Back on the up when landing 5f listed race at York 3 weeks ago under this rider, keeping on from Silky Wilkie. She'll need more to follow up but she's respected as 1 of only 2 last-time-out winners in the field. Coming into her own as 4yo and nifty Listed winner latest (5f, good to soft).
9th	5 9th (5) (16/1 +11%) Silky Wilkie	16 16/1(+11%)	(5) Silky Wilkie 16/1, Stormed clear in the Scottish Sprint Cup handicap at Musselburgh in April and back at that level the last twice, runner-up in the "Dash" at Epsom and listed race at York (behind Nymphadora). Ran well only other previous start here and firmly in the hunt for the places. Often leads; has made progress as a handicapper; this company looks beyond him.
10th	8 10th (8) (25/1 -127%) Ladies Church	25 25/1(-127%)	(8) Ladies Church 25/1, Won listed race at Naas in May but not in the same form going for a repeat in the Sapphire at the Curragh a fortnight ago. Won't stay down for long. Group 2 winner last summer; up against it on balance with the recent rain.
11th	2 11th (2) (20/1 -43%) Equilateral	20 20/1(-43%)	(2) Equilateral 20/1, Not scored since 2021 but acquitting himself well in defeat again of late, beaten 4¼ lengths in fifth (Highfield Princess second) in the King's Stand 6 weeks ago. Probably only playing for minor honours at best once more. Smart on his day but well held in this last year and suited by good or quicker ground.

LTO Selection:

HIGHFIELD PRINCESS arrives here on the back of three outstanding efforts in defeat this season and the switch back to Group 2 company may see the six-year-old return to winning ways. Equilateral has also been running well this season and could prove to be the main threat to the selection, although the progressive Equality should not be underestimated. Those looking for an each-way alternative should consider White Lavender, who is likely to have conditions in her favour.

All ground comes alike for the fantastic mare HIGHFIELD PRINCESS and she can resume winning ways after solid efforts in the Group 1 sprints at Royal Ascot. Equality has found a chunk of improvement of late, readily making all at Sandown last time, and looks the danger in his hat-trick bid. York-winner Nymphadora is respected, while Raasel, who wasn't seen to best effect here on Tuesday, could go well at bigger odds.

Equality is on the upgrade but it will be a sad day if HIGHFIELD PRINCESS can't make the most of what looks a golden opportunity.

1	8 1st (8) (8.5/1 -89%) Moulin Booj	8.5 8.5/1(-89%)	(8) Moulin Booj 8.5/1, Hooded for first time, very good third of 11 in handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to soft, 17/2) 16 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Has to be of interest. More on his first crack at 5f (first-time hood) last time; decent claims off the same mark.
2	4 2nd (4) (5/1 +29%) Doctor Mozart	5 5/1(+29%)	(4) Doctor Mozart 5/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 11 runs this year. Fourth of 5 in handicap at Chepstow (5.1f, good to firm, 6/1) 55 days ago, though he did get unbalanced briefly. Knows how to win but is completely exposed and there's little wiggle room off this mark.
3	1 3rd (1) (12/1 +0%) Let's Go Hugo	12 12/1(+0%)	(1) Let's Go Hugo 12/1, 11/2 and cheekpieces on for first time, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good) 27 days ago. Bounce back called for returned to the AW. Consistent in slightly better company before a forgivable blip latest; should fare better.
4	5 4th (5) (5.5/1 -38%) Cuban Grey	5.5 5.5/1(-38%)	(5) Cuban Grey 5.5/1, C&D winner. 10/1, good second of 8 in handicap at this C&D 24 days ago, sticking to his task. Has to be taken seriously from an unchanged mark. Nothing wrong with his latest C&D second; goes on the shortlist off the same mark.
5th	2 5th (2) (50/1 -178%) Poseidon Prince	50 50/1(-178%)	(2) Poseidon Prince 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 10 in novice event at Doncaster (6f, good to firm, 66/1) 22 days ago. Makes handicap debut and isn't easy to assess (displayed ability for Charlie Appleby). This is more realistic now handicapping but hasn't shown enough to be recommended.
6th	10 6th (10) (3.5/1 +46%) Victors Dream	3.5 3.5/1(+46%)	(10) Victors Dream 3.5/1, 9/1 and cheekpieces on for first time, bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm) 39 days ago. Tongue strap now on. Expensive to follow but had excuses last time and still retains some potential; player.
7th	7 7th (7) (12/1 +0%) Tarbet	12 12/1(+0%)	(7) Tarbet 12/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 16/1, seventh of 8 in maiden at Nottingham (5f, soft) 17 days ago. Possibly unsuited by conditions and this will reveal more on handicap bow switched to the AW. Signs of ability in three runs to date (5f-6f); starts handicap life at a sensible level.
8th	6 8th (6) (18/1 +28%) Agostino	18 18/1(+28%)	(6) Agostino 18/1, Last of 8 in handicap (25/1) at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm) 32 days ago. Bit to prove at present. Inconsistent during his first season; ran poorly in two starts back, having been gelded.
9th	11 9th (11) (6/1 +40%) Lady Jane Grey	6 6/1(+40%)	(11) Lady Jane Grey 6/1, 5/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Bath (5f, good) 23 days ago, never nearer on the back of a tardy start. Handicapper's giving her every chance and maybe the return to the AW will do the trick.
10th	9 10th (9) (5/1 +75%) Sugar Hill Babe	5 5/1(+75%)	(9) Sugar Hill Babe 5/1, Sixth of 9 in handicap at Haydock (5f, soft, 10/1) 13 days ago. Cheekpieces on for first time. Hasn't been as good in three runs back from a break and is now tried in cheekpieces.

LTO Selection:

Cuban Grey attempted to make all over C&D on his latest outing, but he was denied by just under a length. He is likely to remain competitive off the same mark, though preference is for DOCTOR MOZART, who failed to fire on turf at Chepstow but now makes his return to the all-weather and could prove tough to beat. Tarbet would be of interest if the market spoke in her favour on her handicap bow.

MOULIN BOOJ gave an excellent account of himself fitted with a hood at Yarmouth a fortnight ago and from the same mark with a top apprentice booked he could be the way to go. Cuban Grey and Unlimited Data are a couple of potential threats.

The vote goes to VICTORS DREAM, who's well up to winning off this mark when things fall his way. Moulin Booj is next best.

1	1 1st (1) (4.5/1 +18%) Brief Times	4.5 4.5/1(+18%)	(1) Brief Times 4.5/1, Often let down by his jumping but longer trip seemed to help in that regard when winning 5-runner handicap chase at Southwell (24.3f, good to soft) 17 days ago, outbattling the runner-up. May do better again over this trip. Back to form with Southwell win on first attempt at 3m; this is tougher but he's unexposed.
2	3 2nd (3) (5/1 +58%) Saint Arvans	5 5/1(+58%)	(3) Saint Arvans 5/1, Took his record over fences to 5 wins from 10 completed starts in 5-runner handicap chase at Perth (23.8f, good). Not disgraced in Summer Plater at Market Rasen since and this much less competitive. Not that consistent but in good form at present; wins have come in small fields.
3	5 3rd (5) (8/1 +11%) Topofthecotswolds	8 8/1(+11%)	(5) Topofthecotswolds 8/1, Dual handicap chase winner last season. Back to form last 2 starts, second of 5 in handicap chase (3/1) at Worcester (23f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Respected. Latest two runs point to him having a fair chance if the ground remains good.
4	11 4th (11) (5/1 -82%) Honey I'm Good	5 5/1(-82%)	(11) Honey I'm Good 5/1, Multiple point winner who made a successful hunter chase debut at Chepstow (23.6f, good) in April and, after a lesser run over hurdles, went in again in handicaps at Newton Abbot next 2 starts. Plenty in hand and should take the beating under a penalty. Two recent Newton Abbot wins and progressing strongly; up in class but leading hopes.
5th	6 5th (6) (4/1 +47%) Grey Skies	4 4/1(+47%)	(6) Grey Skies 4/1, Maiden/novice hurdle winner last season. Might have been fortunate at Sedgefield but there was nothing lucky about his follow-up win at Perth in April. Close second at Cartmel before better than bare result there since. Up in trip (bred to stay well). Not entirely his fault when only sixth latest and may improve for step up in trip.
6th	2 6th (2) (16/1 +20%) Irish Prophecy	16 16/1(+20%)	(2) Irish Prophecy 16/1, Went close in a Warwick handicap chase in September and still appeared to be going well prior to capitulating after the third-last back from 7 months off at Cartmel (29.4f, good). Another tame finish back over hurdles since. On a good mark now but current wellbeing a doubt after two below par runs this season.
7th	12 7th (12) (6/1 +40%) Lights Are Green	6 6/1(+40%)	(12) Lights Are Green 6/1, Has taken very well to fences, winning at Hexham and Cartmel before good placed efforts last 2 starts. Up against it from 5 lb out of the weights, however. Two wins in May and fair efforts since; 5lb out of the weights but more to offer..
8th	9 8th (9) (22/1 -120%) Steel Wave	22 22/1(-120%)	(9) Steel Wave 22/1, Veteran who struck again at Stratford last month under this rider. Ran well under a penalty at Southwell 2 days later but this tougher. In fine form and rather unfortunate latest; up 6lb in deeper contest, however.
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (14/1 -17%) Daranova	14 14/1(-17%)	(10) Daranova 14/1, Two 3m wins in May 2022 but struggling for form at present. Dipped below last winning mark at least. Change of headgear. Hasn't shown much this year but both wins have come over C&D; visor on; possibilities.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (20/1 -25%) Hawk's Well	20 20/1(-25%)	(7) Hawk's Well 20/1, Winner of 2 of his first 3 starts over fences but well held after 19 months at Uttoxeter in May. Pulled up in May after long absence; more to prove than some.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (33/1 -136%) Empire De Maulde	33 33/1(-136%)	(4) Empire De Maulde 33/1, Decent strike rate but didn't show enough after 12 months off at Aintree in May to warrant serious interest. Ran well for long way when pulled up in May, after year off; not impossible.

LTO Selection:

Mr Mafia returned from a 241-day break to be victorious at Newton Abbot last month and he has to be respected off a 2lb higher mark. That said, this is tougher and TOPOFTHECOTSWOLDS looks the one to be with. The nine-year-old filled the runner-up spot at Worcester on his latest outing, when well clear of the third, and he looks sure to go close well just 1lb higher. Honey I'm Good should not be dismissed as she seeks a hat-trick.

HONEY I'M GOOD looks up to completing the hat-trick given the manner of his last 2 wins at Newton Abbot. Saint Arvans rates the main threat back down in class, though Brief Time may have more to offer over this trip.

The step up to 3m should definitely suit GREY SKIES ands he is taken to land this competitive race.

1	1 1st (1) (0.83/1 +0%) Hamish	0.83 0.83/1(+0%)	(1) Hamish 0.83/1, Very smart gelding who landed the Group 3 Ormonde at Chester for the second year running on his reappearance in May. Narrowly defied penalty in Group 3 at York since and big chance of completing hat-trick with ground in his favour. Solid Group 3 performer who is 2-2 this term; leading player even with 3lb penalty.
2	5 2nd (5) (18/1 +28%) Jack Darcy	18 18/1(+28%)	(5) Jack Darcy 18/1, Smart on his day and better for return when fifth in handicap at Ascot. Bit to find with some of these, though. 0-7 since his novice wins but has useful C&D form (fourth in 2022 Gordon Stakes).
3	2 3rd (2) (7.5/1 -25%) Candleford	7.5 7.5/1(-25%)	(2) Candleford 7.5/1, Progressive at 3 and took another sizeable step forward when easily landing Duke of Edinburgh on Royal Ascot reappearance last summer. Didn't progress as may have been expected after, however, and Marquand prefers Hamish. Doesn't have much to find with Hamish on last year's Cumberland Lodge running.
4	6 4th (6) (18/1 -13%) Teumessias Fox	18 18/1(-13%)	(6) Teumessias Fox 18/1, Much improved back from a gelding operation this spring, winning 1½m handicaps at Kempton and Newmarket (smart form). Disappointed in better company since and was a long way behind Hamish at York last time. Ground in his favour at least. Useful on his day; return to 1m6f partly excuses latest defeat (behind Hamish).
5th	7 5th (7) (3.33/1 +26%) Mimikyu	3.33 3.33/1(+26%)	(7) Mimikyu 3.33/1, Improved massively fitted with a hood when landing 6-runner Park Hill Stakes in September and was just edged out in Bronte Cup at York on return. Bit disappointing in Lancashire Oaks at Haydock since but big shout if back to her best with cheekpieces applied. Smart on her day; won last year's Park Hill; return to slower ground is a plus; respected.
6th	4 6th (4) (10/1 +38%) Hard One To Please	10 10/1(+38%)	(4) Hard One To Please 10/1, Smart performer from Sweden, completing hat-trick in Group 3 Stockholm Cup International at Bro Park in September. Respectable third in listed race at Ovrevoll on return. Warrants respect. Trained in Norway; won three notable races in Scandinavia last year; could go well.
7th	3 7th (3) (50/1 -150%) Epic Poet	50 50/1(-150%)	(3) Epic Poet 50/1, Smart performer who landed minor event at Longchamp and listed race at Compiegne in 2022. Placed on last 3 starts for Jean-Claude Rouget but made a low-key start for this yard at Newbury 2 weeks ago. Useful and consistent in France; form dipped sharply on British debut; new trip.

LTO Selection:

HAMISH was taken out of last weekend's King George on account of the ground, but he loves to get his toe in and this is a more suitable assignment for him anyway. William Haggas' grand servant numbered Teumessias Fox among his victims when lifting the Silver Cup at York and he has won five times at this level already. Mimikyu has shown some wayward tendencies so cheekpieces could help harness her undoubted ability. Candleford, a stablemate of the selection, is better than he showed on his reappearance here.

An excellent opportunity for HAMISH to complete the hat-trick under a penalty with conditions very much in his favour. Mimikyu can push the selection close if back to the form that saw her win the Park Hill last season.

Hamish sets the standard but Candleford could be a big danger and MIMIKYU may well tap back into her 3yo progress.

12th	9 12th (9) (25/1 -150%) Dodgy Bob	25 25/1(-150%)	(9) Dodgy Bob 25/1, C&D winner. 8/1, respectable fourth of 15 in minor event at Leicester (6f, good) 15 days ago. Has won twice over C&D this year; capable of a bold show back under these conditions.

LTO Selection:

VOLTAIC got up in the final strides to score at Salisbury over a mile last time and he is asked to carry 4lb extra for that success, which may not be enough to prevent him from going in again. Mudlahhim is up 4lb for his recent win over C&D and is likely to be on the premises once more, while Secret Joy is much less exposed than most of these and could also get involved.

MOSTALLIM escapes a penalty for his comfortable success at Chelmsford so will be hard to beat. Penalised-winners Mudlahhim and Voltaic can follow him home.

Preference is for MUDLAHHIM who ended a lengthy losing run over C&D ten days ago. He is 3lb higher, but still well treated on old form.

1	7 1st (7) (7/1 +0%) Long Call	7 7/1(+0%)	(7) Long Call 7/1, Well below form when last seen over hurdles but well treated and this C&D winner ran well on the Flat recently, so he's not one to rule out despite his quirks.
2	3 2nd (3) (6.5/1 +7%) Fandabidozi	6.5 6.5/1(+7%)	(3) Fandabidozi 6.5/1, Modest stayer on the Flat who has been running to a similar level consistently over hurdles, third at Worcester last time. Cheekpieces on for the first time in this sphere, but they'll need to spark improvement.
3	5 3rd (5) (4/1 +27%) Trick Of The Tail	4 4/1(+27%)	(5) Trick Of The Tail 4/1, Fair form shown in bumpers and while he has yet to match that over hurdles, he posted another solid effort when fourth in a novice at Stratford last time and he's potentially well treated switched to handicaps. Yard boasts an excellent record at this track, so he's worth a market check.
4	9 4th (9) (11/1 +21%) Lightening Gesture	11 11/1(+21%)	(9) Lightening Gesture 11/1, Fair Flat winner who posted creditable third of 8 on handicap hurdle debut at Market Rasen in February. Failed to build on that promise when fifth at Plumpton 3 weeks later and off since. Not one to write off just yet.
5th	4 5th (4) (10/1 -82%) My Brother Jack	10 10/1(-82%)	(4) My Brother Jack 10/1, Modest Flat winner who found only one too good on his first 3 starts over hurdles. Bit disappointing at Market Rasen in May but he has returned to form on the level since and opening mark looks reasonable.
6th	10 6th (10) (22/1 -83%) Lindwall	22 22/1(-83%)	(10) Lindwall 22/1, Fair stayer on Flat for Sir Mark Prescott. Well held over hurdles for this yard, including in a handicap at Stratford a month ago, so has a bit to prove.
7th	1 7th (1) (1.25/1 +38%) Gavin	1.25 1.25/1(+38%)	(1) Gavin 1.25/1, Landed a Fakenham selling handicap on his final start for Joe Ponting and notched 2 quick Ffos Las wins for his current yard. Has remained in form since and shaped better than the result (did too much too soon) at Market Rasen last time, so he's still one to be interested in.
8th	2 8th (2) (28/1 -250%) Gerard Mentor	28 28/1(-250%)	(2) Gerard Mentor 28/1, Scored twice last autumn but his 3 completed outings since have been underwhelming. Bit more encouragement prior to falling at Southwell last time and his mark is on the slide.

LTO Selection:

FANDABIDOZI ran well at Worcester last time when finishing third, despite losing a shoe, so that performance could arguably be marked up. The son of Mastercraftsman is likely be there at the finish now eased in grade. Gavin has to be respected, as he has won two out of four starts for the Peter Bowen stable and can go well once again, along with Trick Of The Tail on his handicap bow.

GAVIN has started positively for his current yard and was better than the result in a much more competitive contest than he need contest at Market Rasen last time. The hood goes back on now and he still looks ahead of his mark, so he takes preference over Trick of The Tail, who is potentially well treated on Flat form. My Brother Jack is another one to consider.

This can go to class-dropper GAVIN, who was right in the thick of things for a long way in a valuable race at Market Rasen last month.

3	3 3rd (3) (16/1 +11%) Dapper Valley	16 16/1(+11%)	(3) Dapper Valley 16/1, Bred to be an early type and knew his job when making a winning debut at Newbury (5f, heavy) in April. Not disgraced in Newbury listed race latest and can't be discounted on switch to handicapping. Debut win came on soft; return to slower ground is the angle with him.
4	11 4th (11) (10/1 -25%) Specific Times	10 10/1(-25%)	(11) Specific Times 10/1, Much improved when scoring on nursery bow at York (6f, good) 20 days ago. 9 lb higher now but further progress may be forthcoming. Made all under Jason Hart at York on nursery debut; open to further improvement.
5th	8 5th (8) (4.5/1 +25%) Loaded Gun	4.5 4.5/1(+25%)	(8) Loaded Gun 4.5/1, Found improvement when taking heavy-ground minor event at Chester (5.1f) 20 days ago. Step up in trip should suit and must enter calculations on handicap debut. Got up close home over 5f at Chester last month; future mark 2lb higher; respected.
6th	13 6th (13) (12/1 -20%) Call Glory	12 12/1(-20%)	(13) Call Glory 12/1, Confirmed previous encouragement to open his account in a seller at this course in June and ran to a similar level upped in grade for new yard at Newbury 13 days ago. Step up in trip should suit but may lack scope of some of his rivals on nursery debut. Won seller here on final run for Jack Channon; tough task in Super Sprint since.
7th	6 7th (6) (33/1 +18%) Zoulu Chief	33 33/1(+18%)	(6) Zoulu Chief 33/1, Seen to maximum effect when causing a shock at Newbury in May but failed to beat a rival home in Coventry Stakes last time and makes limited appeal on switch to handicapping. Still needs to prove his 150-1 win from the front at Newbury wasn't a fluke.
8th	7 8th (7) (4.5/1 +50%) Flag Of St George	4.5 4.5/1(+50%)	(7) Flag Of St George 4.5/1, Opened account at Newmarket in May and improved on that form when second of 6 in nursery at Windsor (6f, good, 10/3) 11 days ago. Can race off same mark and should go well again. Ran well in 6f nursery at Windsor last week; due to go up 3lb in future; possibilities.
9th	12 9th (12) (12/1 +0%) Whoop Whoop	12 12/1(+0%)	(12) Whoop Whoop 12/1, Her form looks to read pretty well for all she suffered another short-priced defeat at Yarmouth (5.2f) last time, a more reserved ride not working out so well. May do better now handicapping back up in trip. Ties in closely with Mauna Loa on Pontefract running and can't be dismissed.
10th	10 10th (10) (16/1 -33%) Mauna Loa	16 16/1(-33%)	(10) Mauna Loa 16/1, Appreciated the step up to this trip when taking 7-runner minor event at Pontefract (good) 40 days ago by ½ length from Whoop Whoop. This is tougher, though, and others look better treated on handicap bow. Proved suited by the step up to 6f at Pontefract where he beat Whoop Whoop.
11th	2 11th (2) (10/1 +38%) Gaiden	10 10/1(+38%)	(2) Gaiden 10/1, Built on encouraging debut effort when taking York listed race in May. Not in same form in Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot since, however, and opening mark could have been kinder on handicap debut. This step up to 6f looks a plus on nursery debut; could go well.
12th	9 12th (9) (28/1 -180%) Swordplay	28 28/1(-180%)	(9) Swordplay 28/1, Promising start to career when second in Hamilton maiden (5f) in May and only needed to match that level when comfortably going one place better back at that venue (6f) the following month. Proved somewhat disappointing at Yarmouth, latest, however and needs more on first attempt in nursery here. May still have progress in him, albeit with slow ground a complete unknown.

LTO Selection:

Plenty of connections will be arriving here confident that their charges can land this prize, but perhaps none more so than those affiliated to FLAG OF ST GEORGE. Jane Chapple-Hyam's runner was a good second over 6f at Windsor last time where he was beaten just three quarters of a length. Off the same mark, he appears primed to offer another bold bid. Starlust arrives here seeking a hat-trick and this opening mark of 89 doesn't appear out of his reach, while Loaded Gun should also be thereabouts.

Preference is for LOADED GUN, who has already proved himself in testing conditions and will appreciate the step up in trip. Starlust is going the right way and is much respected with his capable claimer taking off a valuable 5 lb, whilst Serried Ranks and Flag of St George can also make their presence felt.

Plenty have possibilities in an open nursery. The suggestion is LOADED GUN, ahead of Starlust and Flag Of St George.

1	1 1st (1) (5/1 +64%) Nikki's Girl	5 5/1(+64%)	(1) Nikki's Girl 5/1, 11/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good) 14 days ago. Shaped well over C&D on penultimate start, so not dismissed if returning to that sort of form. Last two wins off higher marks and looked unlucky over C&D in June; interesting back here.
2	6 2nd (6) (7.5/1 +0%) Weloof	7.5 7.5/1(+0%)	(6) Weloof 7.5/1, C&D winner who ran creditably after a further 9 weeks off when third of 8 in 1m handicap at Kempton 23 days ago. On the premises with a repeat. Dual C&D winner and closely matched with Give A Little Back on recent Kempton running.
3	7 3rd (7) (4.5/1 +0%) Perfect Gentleman	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(7) Perfect Gentleman 4.5/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Salisbury (8f, good to firm, 7/1) 37 days ago, very slowly away. Cheekpieces on for 1st time and should remain competitive back on all-weather. Dual Polytrack winner; ran well last two starts on turf; cheekpieces on for Tapeta debut.
4	9 4th (9) (3.33/1 +17%) Rollz Royz	3.33 3.33/1(+17%)	(9) Rollz Royz 3.33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 12 in minor event (125/1) at Haydock (7f, firm) 28 days ago. Up in trip and type to do better now handicapping. Makes his handicap debut and the longer trip should suit on breeding; market helpful.
5th	3 5th (3) (12/1 +33%) Asdaa	12 12/1(+33%)	(3) Asdaa 12/1, C&D winner who ran poorly at Ripon (8f, good) 25 days ago. Has work to do. Dual course winner 5lb lower than when last successful, but hasn't been at his best lately.
6th	8 6th (8) (4.5/1 -64%) Pearly Star	4.5 4.5/1(-64%)	(8) Pearly Star 4.5/1, Winner at Chester in June. 9/1, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Chester (7.6f, soft) 21 days ago, barely adequate test. Step up in trip looks a good move. Won at Chester in June, but not so good there last time; something to prove back on AW.
7th	4 7th (4) (7/1 +61%) Strangerontheshore	7 7/1(+61%)	(4) Strangerontheshore 7/1, Food run of good form coming to a halt when fifth of 7 in handicap (3/1) at Carlisle (9f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Back down in trip and 7-lb claimer now takes over in the saddle. All five wins on turf, but has made the frame in all three starts on the AW; not dismissed.
8th	5 8th (5) (16/1 +36%) Balqaa	16 16/1(+36%)	(5) Balqaa 16/1, 14/1, offered little after 5 months off when last of 6 in handicap at Haydock (8f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Needs to leave that behind. Dual Newcastle winner who probably needed her recent return; not without a chance.

LTO Selection:

WELOOF (third) finished half a length behind Give A Little Back (second) last time at Kempton when short of room in the closing stages, and the nine-year-old is 1lb better off with that rival this time around. He's taken to reverse the form and go very close. Perfect Gentleman's performance last time could be upgraded after he lost many lengths at the start and, sporting first-time cheekpieces, he's another to note.

The step up in trip promises to suit PEARLY STAR, so she's taken to resume progress/winning ways. Fellow 3-y-o Perfect Gentleman isn't one to place complete trust in given his slow starts, but he arrives in good heart and has to be respected, along with Give A Little Back, who returned to his best at Kempton last month.

Preference is for GIVE A LITTLE BACK whose sole win came over further on this track. He was only just beaten over 1m last time.

Three wins from 7 runs last season. 8/1, creditable eighth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.4f, good to soft) 101 days ago.

Useful hurdler, good on last hurdle run. One to consider. Placed in competitive handicaps in the spring; should have the pace for 2m; big player.
5th	7 5th (7) (7.5/1 -25%) Shecouldbeanything	7.5 7.5/1(-25%)	(7) Shecouldbeanything 7.5/1, 4/1, didn't need to be at best when winning 7-runner listed mares event at Killarney (17f, good to soft) 82 days ago by a length from Walk With Paul. Makes handicap hurdle debut and could have more to offer. Three-time winner over hurdles; dual Listed winner; off 80 days; mark looks workable.
6th	9 6th (9) (14/1 -17%) Fiveonefive	14 14/1(-17%)	(9) Fiveonefive 14/1, 8/1, career best when winning 12-runner handicap hurdle at Cartmel (17.2f, good to soft) 33 days ago. Progressing well and leading claims. Much improved form this year, landing two handicaps; will relish a strong pace; can figure.
7th	8 7th (8) (33/1 -65%) Set Point	33 33/1(-65%)	(8) Set Point 33/1, Latest win in hurdle at Tramore in June. 11/2, good second of 11 in handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (16.8f, good) 27 days ago. Could have more to offer. In fine form of late, landing 2 of last 3 starts; mark creeping up but respected.
8th	5 8th (5) (8/1 -14%) Lot Of Joy	8 8/1(-14%)	(5) Lot Of Joy 8/1, Respectable sixth of 20 in handicap (4/1) at this course (16.8f, heavy) 4 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Useful hurdler. Respected back in this sphere for top yard. Ran well here on the Flat on Monday; makes handicap hurdle debut and a major player.

Landed a Ballinrobe handicap in good style last time; up 12lb; engaged here on Wednesday.
6	6 \|U\| (6) (7/1 +22%) Tekao	7 7/1(+22%)	(6) Tekao 7/1, Winner in hurdle at Leopardstown in December. Went off favourite for the Fred Winter (excuses). 28¼ lengths twelfth of 13 to Fils D'oudairies in Grimes Hurdle at Tipperary (16f, good, 15/2) 29 days ago. Should have come on for that and worth a look. Below form last time in Grade 3 company but third at Punchestown puts him in the mix.
10th	4 10th (4) (25/1 -79%) Lucid Dreams	25 25/1(-79%)	(4) Lucid Dreams 25/1, 9/2, good second of 8 in minor event hurdle at Roscommon (15.5f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. In excellent heart and can go well. 2-3 over hurdles and progressing nicely; stays further than this but mark demands plenty.

Won this last year (also a maiden chase winner at the track). One to consider. Won this last year off 2lb lower and is 2-2 here; back over hurdles; looks primed for this.
12th	11 12th (11) (20/1 -43%) Great Bear	20 20/1(-43%)	(11) Great Bear 20/1, Off 15 months, 7/4, didn't need to improve to win 18-runner novice hurdle at Cork (16.9f, good to soft) 21 days ago, readily. Can go well again. Experienced dual-purpose type; got off the mark over hurdles at Cork; looks on a nice mark.
13th	3 13th (3) (16/1 +27%) Nucky Johnson	16 16/1(+27%)	(3) Nucky Johnson 16/1, Useful hurdler. Respectable fourth of 12 in minor event hurdle (12/1) at Punchestown (19.8f, good to soft) 100 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Naas novice hurdle winner; ran credibly when last seen; steps back to 2m; off 100 days.
14th	20 14th (20) (16/1 -14%) War Correspondent	16 16/1(-14%)	(20) War Correspondent 16/1, 3/1, unseated rider 4 out in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (19f, soft) 21 days ago. One to note under Rachael Blackmore. Winning juvenile who fell four out on handicap debut when travelling fine; has a squeak.
15th	19 15th (19) (4.5/1 +50%) Sundial	4.5 4.5/1(+50%)	(19) Sundial 4.5/1, Career best when winning 12-runner novice hurdle (10/11) at Kilbeggan (18f, soft) 14 days ago, easily. Fourth in the Fred Winter prior to that and fair shout as the pick of Mark Walsh. Well handicapped based on Boodles run and got off the mark stylishly at Kilbeggan; player.

18th	10 18th (10) (40/1 -60%) Nibiru	40 40/1(-60%)	(10) Nibiru 40/1, Unreliable type. Latest win in hurdle at Down Royal in November. Twelfth of 15 in handicap at the Curragh (10f, good, 9/1) 69 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles (refused to race latest start in this sphere). Has some solid handicap form and ran well here before; below form on last Flat outing.
19th	16 19th (16) (100/1 -100%) Wajaaha	100 100/1(-100%)	(16) Wajaaha 100/1, Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle (40/1) at Bellewstown (16.8f, good) 27 days ago. Showed a bit of his old spark when fifth last time but this looks a step too far.

LTO Selection:

SUNDIAL didn't beat much at Kilbeggan a fortnight ago, as is shown by the handicapper leaving his mark alone, but that facile maiden win will have served as a nice confidence booster. That was his first outing since a fine fourth in the Boodles at Cheltenham and he's on a lovely racing weight. Shecouldbeanything also ran well at the Cheltenham Festival when sixth in the mares' novices' hurdle. She has won both starts since and is another whose mark hasn't gone up. Lucid Dreams has done well in a short space of time having only started his career in March, but went up 6lb for finishing second in a Roscommon novice last time. Tekao missed the cut for the Galway Hurdle but has claims on his third in a competitive handicap at Punchestown.

FIVEONEFIVE is progressing well and could take the big step up in his stride and score again. Many of the others can be considered, with Sundial, last year's winner Sit Down Lucy, Shecouldbeanything and Lucid Dreams all leading players.

Having run well at the spring festivals, BUDDY ONE deserves to land a big one and he can make his presence felt down in trip.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (4/1 +33%) Simply Red	4 4/1(+33%)	(3) Simply Red 4/1, C&D winner last August and likely needed her reappearance at Market Rasen last month. Eased 2 lb since and should be spot on now, so likely to compete. On fairly tough mark but won twice here last year and ran okay last month, after a layoff.
2	2 2nd (2) (20/1 -208%) Eagle's Realm	20 20/1(-208%)	(2) Eagle's Realm 20/1, Dual winner at Stratford last summer. Last two efforts in this sphere have been disappointing but he ran well on the Flat last time and his mark isn't insurmountable. Dual hurdle winner last summer and ran well on the Flat for new stable last month.
3	4 3rd (4) (2.25/1 +59%) Zamond	2.25 2.25/1(+59%)	(4) Zamond 2.25/1, Gives his running more often than not and wasn't especially suited by the way things panned out at Worcester last time. Dropped to a handy mark and can't be dismissed. Not at best on either start since a short break but on good mark and enters calculations.
4	7 4th (7) (18/1 -13%) Herecomesfreddie	18 18/1(-13%)	(7) Herecomesfreddie 18/1, Bumper winner who hasn't shown a great deal over hurdles, including on handicap debut at Worcester 44 days ago. Mark is potentially lenient and still early days. Soundly beaten on handicap debut in June and needs that outing to have done him good.
5th	6 5th (6) (7.5/1 -67%) Forever A Dove	7.5 7.5/1(-67%)	(6) Forever A Dove 7.5/1, Runner-up twice in bumpers and made a successful start over hurdles in 2m Southwell mares' maiden. Has remained in form since and still has the scope for a bigger effort. Won modest mares' maiden on hurdle debut but safely held on last month's handicap debut.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (3/1 +40%) Toronto	3 3/1(+40%)	(1) Toronto 3/1, Fairly useful at best on the Flat. Won a pair of 2m novice hurdles last spring but found life tougher in handicaps after. Starts out for a shrewd stable on a reduced mark after 7 months off, so worth monitoring in the betting. Out of form at end of 2022 but makes stable debut from very dangerous mark.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (8/1 +60%) She Has Notions	8 8/1(+60%)	(8) She Has Notions 8/1, Made a solid start when third in a novice hurdle at Kilbeggan for John Halley in July but little impact for current yard. Visored and tongue tied for the first time now, but hard to make a solid case for. Tailed off last time and now 0-6 over hurdles but wind op offers a ray of hope.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (18/1 -13%) Pot Of Paint	18 18/1(-13%)	(9) Pot Of Paint 18/1, Modest maiden over hurdles for John Groucott in the first half of 2022 and, having been sold cheaply, offered little returning from 15 months off on debut for current yard at Uttoxeter 16 days ago. Plenty to prove. Pulled up last month, after a long absence; leap of faith required to support him here.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (66/1 -100%) Chasamax	66 66/1(-100%)	(5) Chasamax 66/1, Three-time winner in this sphere for Nicky Henderson (including over C&D) but ended time with that yard below par and has continued in the same vein for current stable. Others make more appeal. Generally very disappointing for current stable since the spring; headgear switched.

LTO Selection:

COEUR AIMANT made a promising return to action when filling the runner-up spot over 2m at Uttoxeter last month. Given that was also his first run since wind surgery, he is fancied to improve, despite being 5lb out of the handicap. Eagle's Realm looks his most serious danger following a creditable second over 1m6f on the Flat last month, while Forever A Dove heads the remainder.

Although out of sorts when last seen, TORONTO has plummeted in the weights and now makes his debut for a shrewd outfit, so he's worth chancing if the market speaks in his favour after 7 months off. Forever A Dove remains unexposed and is likely to threaten, while Coeur Aimant warrants a mention having been denied by a subsequent winner at Uttoxeter last time.

The most interesting runner is TORONTO, who has been given an excellent chance by the handicapper on his debut for Richard Newland.

1	2 1st (2) (3.5/1 +36%) Balance Play	3.5 3.5/1(+36%)	(2) Balance Play 3.5/1, Progressive sort who wasn't hard pressed to open his account at Chester a month ago. More to come but he's likely to be pestered up front this time. Made all to win with something up his sleeve at Chester; should progress further.
2	11 2nd (11) (10/1 +0%) True Legend	10 10/1(+0%)	(11) True Legend 10/1, Mostly progressive and was firmly back on track in first-time cheekpieces when scoring at Salisbury last weekend. Penalised in a stronger contest but can't be ruled out. Responded well to first-time cheekpieces at Salisbury last Saturday; 3-5 in handicaps.
3	14 3rd (14) (6.5/1 +64%) Dancing In Paris	6.5 6.5/1(+64%)	(14) Dancing In Paris 6.5/1, Took a step forward making his handicap debut when off the mark at Haydock (1m) in April. Back to form when runner-up at Sandown 9 days ago but others look better treated. Ran creditably at Sandown last week but is looking a touch exposed now.
4	1 4th (1) (6/1 +8%) Intricacy	6 6/1(+8%)	(1) Intricacy 6/1, Already developing a consistent record and found improvement to score readily in first-time cheekpieces at Ascot 3 weeks ago. This is tougher and he needs to prove he gets this far, but his racing style should lend itself to this type of event. Took well to first-time cheekpieces at Ascot three weeks ago; steadily progressive.
5th	12 5th (12) (66/1 -230%) Alumnus	66 66/1(-230%)	(12) Alumnus 66/1, Displayed much-improved form equipped with a first-time visor when opening his account at Newcastle (12.5f) in June, allowed first run and in control long way out. Hard to knock his latest third back at that venue 6 days ago but still needs to prove himself as effective on turf. Improved form at Newcastle (AW) the last twice; soundly beaten in his two turf runs.
6th	3 6th (3) (16/1 +0%) Loyal Touch	16 16/1(+0%)	(3) Loyal Touch 16/1, Won a Carlisle novice and Kempton handicap (both 1m) as a juvenile. Not discredited on either outing this term, but handicapper looks to have his measure for now. Stepped up in trip. Gelding operation, allied with step up to new trip, may have a positive effect.
7th	9 7th (9) (12/1 +14%) Rathgar	12 12/1(+14%)	(9) Rathgar 12/1, Good placed efforts in handicaps at Newmarket and York on first 2 outings this year. Disappointing since and likely to struggle again in a race as competitive as this. Quite interesting returned to Goodwood; showed progressive form here at two.
8th	8 8th (8) (7.5/1 +46%) Roaring Legend	7.5 7.5/1(+46%)	(8) Roaring Legend 7.5/1, Posted career best, in first-time cheekpieces, when winning 9-runner maiden at Salisbury in June and backed it up with a solid showing when runner-up at Hamilton a month ago. Third has boosted that form since, so could go well under another positive ride. Consistent sort; ran well at Hamilton most recently; this is a stiffer assignment.
9th	6 9th (6) (7/1 -40%) Maso Bastie	7 7/1(-40%)	(6) Maso Bastie 7/1, Promising sort who doubled his tally in testing ground at Nottingham on return in May and shaped as if still in form at Newcastle subsequently. Good pace should bring more out of him, so likely to feature. Sole attempt on turf resulted in a soft-ground win; remains unexposed.
10th	10 10th (10) (66/1 -164%) Kintaro	66 66/1(-164%)	(10) Kintaro 66/1, Fair form on first two starts, then seemed unsuited by soft ground at Thirsk when last seen 45 days ago. Gelded since and longer trip should suit, but the handicapper has taken no chances with opening mark. May do better in due course but this looks a tough starting point for handicap career.
11th	4 11th (4) (3.5/1 +22%) Nader King	3.5 3.5/1(+22%)	(4) Nader King 3.5/1, Chased home Derby runner-up King of Steel at Nottingham on latter start at 2 yrs before landing maiden there on return. Right back on track when a clear second at Salisbury last time and, with more to come, he's worth backing to resume winning ways. Clear second at Salisbury last time; looks the type to improve further; strong claims.
12th	13 12th (13) (50/1 +0%) Noodle Mission	50 50/1(+0%)	(13) Noodle Mission 50/1, Dual winner (readily) twice on AW earlier this year and his turf debut after a break at Chester is easily excused. Remains with potential but needs to prove himself on the ground. Both wins over 8.5f on AW; seemed a non-stayer over 1m2f on turf debut.

LTO Selection:

True Legend registered his third win of the year at Salisbury last weekend, but he has a penalty to contend with in a stronger race against some unexposed opponents. BALANCE PLAY had Perfect Play behind him when third on Derby day at Epsom and then got off the mark when justifying favouritism at Chester. He is proven with give underfoot, as is Intricacy, who had something up his sleeve at Ascot and is a lively danger. Kintaro is bred to stay so could represent each-way value on his handicap bow.

NADER KING got the better of all bar the front-runner at Salisbury last time and has the scope to go on improving, so he takes marginal preference over Maso Bastie, who has already shown a liking for testing ground. Recent Ascot scorer Intricacy also deserves plenty of respect in what should be a hotly-contested handicap.

There should be more to come from the Sir Michael Stoute-trained NADER KING, who gets the vote ahead of Balance Play.

1	6 1st (6) (4/1 +43%) Royal Dream	4 4/1(+43%)	(6) Royal Dream 4/1, Winner at Lingfield in June. Fifth of 8 in handicap (15/2) at Nottingham (10.2f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Return to AW should suit, so he's no forlorn hope. Twice well held on turf since winning at Lingfield, but looks much better on the AW.
2	1 2nd (1) (4/1 +27%) Ciotog	4 4/1(+27%)	(1) Ciotog 4/1, C&D winner. Seventh of 8 in handicap (18/1) at Bath (8f, firm) 37 days ago. Well treated and has a good record at this track, so might be worth chancing. Sole win came over C&D; normally plies his trade in better company than this.
3	7 3rd (7) (7/1 -27%) Eagle Eyed Tom	7 7/1(-27%)	(7) Eagle Eyed Tom 7/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 25/1, ninth of 13 in maiden at Kempton (7f), slowly away. Ran in void race July 11. Needs to up his game considerably in handicaps. Showed limited promise in three starts earlier in year; handicap debut.
4	4 4th (4) (7/1 -17%) Snooze Lane	7 7/1(-17%)	(4) Snooze Lane 7/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in March. Ninth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (9/4) 39 days ago, slowly away. Might come on for that run, so he's not one to be ruling out. Dual winner here, but well behind Hooflepuff last time; others preferred.
5th	3 5th (3) (2.25/1 +10%) Hooflepuff	2.25 2.25/1(+10%)	(3) Hooflepuff 2.25/1, 3-time C&D winner. Latest win here in April. Good second of 10 in handicap at this C&D (4/1) 39 days ago. Should go well again. All nine wins have come at this track; ran well after a short break when second last time.
6th	5 6th (5) (14/1 -56%) Global Warning	14 14/1(-56%)	(5) Global Warning 14/1, Course winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. 12/1, last of 9 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 23 days ago. Plenty to prove at present. Losing run up to 17 despite a plummeting mark; plenty to prove for now.
7th	8 7th (8) (12/1 -100%) Fully Deployed	12 12/1(-100%)	(8) Fully Deployed 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 9 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 7/1). Off 177 days. Makes tapeta debut. Likely to strip fitter for this return, so others are more appealing. Out of the frame all five starts and returns from six months off; plenty to prove.
8th	9 8th (9) (20/1 +50%) Golden Moon	20 20/1(+50%)	(9) Golden Moon 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Visored for 1st time, seventh of 11 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to soft, 66/1) 17 days ago. Others make more appeal. Some encouragement penultimate start, but well held on handicap debut; more needed.
9th	2 9th (2) (33/1 -106%) Abnaa	33 33/1(-106%)	(2) Abnaa 33/1, Course winner. 3 wins from 13 runs this year. Twelfth of 14 in handicap (18/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 52 days ago. Has fallen to a workable mark but struggling for form at present. 7lb below his last winning mark, but not at his best lately and this trip looks far enough.

LTO Selection:

HOOFLEPUFF returned from a 79-day break to fill the runner-up spot over C&D at the end of June, which showed he is still in great heart. The seven-year-old looks to have been found another good opportunity off the same mark. Royal Dream makes his return to the all-weather, where he was last seen scoring at Lingfield off 3lb lower, while Eagle Eyed Tom is one to watch in the market.

CIOTOG usually runs well here, so he's worth taking a chance on from a reduced mark. The in-form Hooflepuff is a danger and Snooze Lane should be back on his game.

The vote goes to HOOFLEPUFF (nap) who ran well after a break to finish second over C&D last time. All nine of his wins have come here.

LTO Selection:

CAPTAIN MAVERICK was friendless in the market but ran a cracker on debut at Bellewstown when second to a smart-looking newcomer. Headgear is rarely a negative when applied by Dermot Weld and the Free Eagle gelding can go one better. Quickstepping was fourth of 18 on debut at Leopardstown, where the winner looked stakes material and fancied newcomers filled the placings. By soft-ground influence Fast Company, she looks sure to go close. Megarry took a big step forward on his second start when runner-up over this trip at Roscommon, but has more on his plate here. Aafoor, who cost 70,000 euros at the breeze-ups and is from the family of Oaks winner Eswarah, is a newcomer to note.

CAPTAIN MAVERICK made an encouraging start to his career when runner-up at Bellewstown 4 weeks ago and is the percentage call to go one better with improvement on the cards. Megarry stepped up quite markedly on his debut when finding only one too good at Roscommon last month and is an obvious threat, while Aafoor is an interesting newcomer to keep a close eye on in the betting.

When looking at those with experience, MEGARRY looks the pick after shaping nicely when runner-up at Roscommon.

Up 7 lb and has more to offer in this sphere. Easy Market Rasen winner and now 2-3 as a chaser; 7lb higher in better race; considered.
2	7 2nd (7) (6/1 -9%) Getaway Luv	6 6/1(-9%)	(7) Getaway Luv 6/1, Successful at Ayr in March and resumed winning ways in first-time tongue strap at Cartmel 5 weeks ago. More needed up 7 lb but will be a threat if he again gets a strong pace to aim at. Good winner in a tongue-strap at Cartmel latest; up 7lb but claims again.
3	1 3rd (1) (4.5/1 -29%) Gold Link	4.5 4.5/1(-29%)	(1) Gold Link 4.5/1, Much improved when opening account in 19.4f Stratford novice handicap chase 12 days ago. Can progress further and good shout under a penalty. Emphatic winner at Stratford 12 days ago; obvious chance under a penalty.
4	3 4th (3) (5.5/1 +15%) Trapista	5.5 5.5/1(+15%)	(3) Trapista 5.5/1, Winning hurdler who again wasn't seen to best effect (conceded first run) back over fences at Worcester a fortnight ago, but there's no escaping the fact that she's proving expensive to follow. Ran well when second at Worcester (lame) but now 0-6 as a chaser.
5th	11 5th (11) (14/1 -17%) Gouet Des Bruyeres	14 14/1(-17%)	(11) Gouet Des Bruyeres 14/1, Three-time winner over fences, the latest at Southwell (2m) in September. Ran well here in May but well beaten at Stratford last time. Cheekpieces back on. Return of cheekpieces a likely help but more exposed than many of his rivals.
6th	2 6th (2) (18/1 -50%) Barton Knoll	18 18/1(-50%)	(2) Barton Knoll 18/1, No battler and an increasingly infrequent winner, tying up again late at Aintree 7 weeks ago. Others preferred. Fair run latest but no win since November 2021 and doesn't appear to be as good as he was.
7th	4 7th (4) (50/1 -150%) Dr T J Eckleburg	50 50/1(-150%)	(4) Dr T J Eckleburg 50/1, Fairly useful hurdler at best but hasn't returned in much form for new yard, well beaten on chase debut a fortnight ago. Plenty to prove. Well beaten in both starts for this stable, the latest on chasing debut.
8th	6 8th (6) (22/1 +45%) Vinnie The Hoddie	22 22/1(+45%)	(6) Vinnie The Hoddie 22/1, Error-prone sort who won at Newton Abbot (2m) in March 2022. Stopped the slide back from 9 months off at Worcester recently but must back that up now. Just behind Trapista when third at Worcester, on return from a break; possibilities.
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (5/1 +0%) Stumps Or Slips	5 5/1(+0%)	(10) Stumps Or Slips 5/1, Is going the right way over fences now, impressing most with the strength of his finish when following up his Warwick success at Worcester 9 weeks ago. Another bold bid expected up 8 lb. Up 8lb for 2m4f Worcester win in June; also up in class but impossible to dismiss.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (8.5/1 +6%) Sao	8.5 8.5/1(+6%)	(8) Sao 8.5/1, Not scored for some time and risky in the sense that he rarely runs two races the same nowadays. Failed to settle at Stratford last time and while he continues to edge down the weights, others look stronger. Has been running well this summer but losing run now at 17.

LTO Selection:

An emphatic winner over an extended 2m3f at Stratford last month, Gold Link must enter calculations dropping back in distance. However, he does have to shoulder a 7lb penalty, so GETAWAY LUV shades the vote. Lizzie Quinlan's inmate bolted up over this trip at Cartmel most recently and a 7lb rise looks unlikely to hold him back. Stumps Or Slips is another to consider now 8lb higher for his most recent success.

Some unexposed chasers here, with GOLD LINK getting the narrow vote over The Big Jetaway and Stumps Or Slips, the three of them all open to further improvement after victories last time out.

A competitive contest can go the the penalised GOLD LINK, who looked good when winning at Stratford recently.

Half-brother to minor US winners by More Than Ready and by Union Rags. Dam, lightly raced in US, half-sister to US Grade 2 1m winner Discreet Dancer. Interesting newcomer. 190,000gns yearling; interesting newcomer from a yard with any number of good 2yos.

Half-brother to several winners, including useful/ungenuine 2-y-o 8.3f winner My Lord And Master and 8.3f winner Aura Blue. Stable 0-8 with 2-y-os this season. Stable's newcomers are usually best watched but he has a Group 2 Champagne Stakes entry.

Dam, 2-y-o 7f winner, half-sister to very smart winner up to 1m (stayed 1¼m) Xtension. Eighth of 10 in minor event at Newbury (6f, good, 3/1) on debut 13 days ago. Open to improvement. Well-bred colt; disappointing favourite at Newbury but can surely do better.
4	1 4th (1) (0.33/1 +0%) Lake Forest	0.33 0.33/1(+0%)	(1) Lake Forest 0.33/1, Twice-raced winner. 2 lengths second of 9 to Jasour in July Stakes (7/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 22 days ago, possibly helped by way race developed.

5th	5 5th (5) (22/1 -10%) Miggy Magic	22 22/1(-10%)	(5) Miggy Magic 22/1, Twice-raced maiden. 8/1, much better effort when second of 7 in maiden at Ffos Las (6f, good) 31 days ago. Ran better at Ffos Las but the winner has been turned over since; probably vulnerable.
6th	7 6th (7) (50/1 +0%) Tennessee Gold	50 50/1(+0%)	(7) Tennessee Gold 50/1, Foaled May 13. €80,000 yearling, resold 75,000 gns yearling, No Nay Never colt. Dam, placed at 1m, closely related to useful 10.5f/11f winner Hidden Dimples. 75,000gns yearling; first foal; dam placed 1m 2yo (RPR 65).

Half-brother to 3 winners, including smart winner up to 1¾m Dramatic Queen and 1m winner Archer's Arrow. Dam winner up to 2m (2-y-o 1m winner). Only the stable's really good ones tend to go in first time out so watch the market.

LTO Selection:

LAKE FOREST has made an excellent beginning to his career, winning well on his Haydock introduction before beating all bar Jasour in the July Stakes here. This contest provides him with a good opportunity to further boost his confidence before he returns to Group company. Miggy Magic could be the one who gets closest to him after a good second at Ffos Las, although the well-bred King's Gamble cost 190,000gns as a yearling and is worth a look on debut.

Penalised LAKE FOREST sets a clear standard on his second in the Group 2 July Stakes and is by far the one to beat. King's Gamble is an interesting newcomer though, and Infinity Blue is bred to do a lot better than what he showed on debut.

This looks at the mercy of LAKE FOREST who sets a sky-high standard after finishing runner-up in last month's Group 2 July Stakes here.

Below form when sixth of 7 in handicap at Sandown (5f, soft, 5/1) 8 days ago, though no surprise to see him bounce back returned to this track. Five-time course winner, but still 6lb higher than latest and wouldn't want soft ground.
3	6 3rd (6) (6.5/1 -18%) Apache Star	6.5 6.5/1(-18%)	(6) Apache Star 6.5/1, Soon back to form when doubling his career tally in 10-runner handicap (11/) at this C&D (good) 9 days ago. Can remain competitive under a penalty, but has yet to prove himself on ground softer than good. Won over C&D last time, but more needed under his penalty and soft ground may not be ideal.

Successful at Brighton in April but below form since, eighth of 10 in handicap at Newbury (5.2f, good to firm, 9/2) 29 days ago. Visor back on. 1-1 here and back off last winning mark; run well on good to soft, but softer a problem.

However, below-form eighth of 12 in handicap at the same C&D when last seen in November. Others preferred on return. 1-19; second in both starts here, but they were over 1m; likely to need the run.
9th	2 9th (2) (9/1 +0%) Ruby Cottage	9 9/1(+0%)	(2) Ruby Cottage 9/1, Three-time C&D winner. Looked rusty after a year off when last of 8 in handicap (15/2) at this C&D (good to firm) 30 days ago, slowly away. Could fare better with her reappearance run behind her. Record of 1222161238 in C&D h'caps; could play a part if reappearance has brought her on.

LTO Selection:

Apache Star merits plenty of respect following his C&D triumph last week but a 5lb penalty will make his life tougher here. With that in mind, preference is for BIG BARD, who has won his last three starts on turf and is only 2lb higher than for the most recent of those victories at Nottingham. Autumn Angel is another recent track-and-trip winner to consider, while Symbol of Hope completes the shortlist.

BIG BARD has been in fine form of late with the cheekpieces reapplied, doing just enough once in front when resuming winning ways at Nottingham last time, and he is taken to add to his tally. Autumn Angel got back on track when scoring at this C&D on her latest outing and could be the main danger, with Concierge completing the shortlist.

Preference is for BIG BARD who has won three of his last four starts and is just 2lb higher than for his latest success.

9th	12 9th (12) (5/1 +23%) Your Darling	5 5/1(+23%)	(12) Your Darling 5/1, Has an excellent record when fresh and an impressive scorer in 21f handicap chase at Ascot on his return in November. Backed it up with solid fifth at Kempton off a 10 lb higher mark but disappointed at Cheltenham in January. Type to bounce back. Won a good 2m5f handicap at Ascot last November, absent since a poor showing in January.

Makes handicap chase debut. Bumper winner at this meeting in 2021, 0-13 over hurdles, has adapted well to chasing.
10th	7 10th (7) (20/1 +20%) Fairyhill Run	20 20/1(+20%)	(7) Fairyhill Run 20/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Bit below form fifth of 13 in handicap chase at Kilbeggan (25f, soft, 10/1) 21 days ago. In the form of her life at around this time two years ago, recent form not very inspiring.

Seventh of 10 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (23.6f, good, 7/1) 54 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Plenty to find on form. Narrow winner of a 2m1f handicap chase at Ballinrobe, most recent run was over hurdles.
12th	11 12th (11) (25/1 -39%) Pat Coyne	25 25/1(-39%)	(11) Pat Coyne 25/1, Three wins from 8 runs last season. Latest win in hurdle at Tramore in April. Creditable 7 lengths third of 7 to Arrycan in handicap chase (6/1) at Punchestown (21f, good) 54 days ago. Took advantage of much lower hurdles mark at Tramore in April, has a solid chase record.
13th	13 13th (13) (8.5/1 +15%) Pakens Rock	8.5 8.5/1(+15%)	(13) Pakens Rock 8.5/1, Course winner. Took advantage of reduced mark to win at Kilbeggan last 2 starts. Can make presence felt again. Rejuvenated lately, winner of his last two races at Kilbeggan on contrasting ground.
14th	14 14th (14) (18/1 +10%) Snugsborough Hall	18 18/1(+10%)	(14) Snugsborough Hall 18/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Good second of 8 in handicap chase (9/1) at Wexford (19.8f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Not taken lightly. Veteran who won a point-to-point in April and was competitive in a recent Wexford handicap.
15th	9 15th (9) (28/1 -100%) Arrycan	28 28/1(-100%)	(9) Arrycan 28/1, Career best when winning 7-runner handicap chase (7/1) at Punchestown (21f, good) 54 days ago, driven out. Progressing recently. Gained fourth chase win when landing 2m5f Punchestown handicap on latest, career-high mark.
16th	1 16th (1) (18/1 +55%) Fire Attack	18 18/1(+55%)	(1) Fire Attack 18/1, 17¾ lengths eighth of 12 to Brideswell Lad in handicap chase (18/1) at Punchestown (24f, good to soft) 97 days ago. Plagued by jumping issues last season, down the field behind Brideswell Lad at Punchestown.

LTO Selection:

DESERTMORE HOUSE did fairly well over hurdles with back-to-back wins at Downpatrick last year and a narrow defeat in a Kilbeggan handicap in May, but this scopey sort always looked a chaser in the making. He impressed when returning to Kilbeggan for last month's chasing debut and may be able to slot in effectively to handicap company, despite his inexperience. Pakens Rock has returned to form with two victories at Kilbeggan. He's not fully proven over the trip but has a good record at this venue, which is his local track. Henry de Bromhead has a fine record in this race and Toss Again, a winner on chase debut at Limerick, may be the best of his two runners. British raider Your Darling has a good record fresh and goes well right-handed, while Brideswell Lad probably needed the run over hurdles last time having been progressive over fences in the spring.

QUANTUM REALM shaped encouragingly over hurdles when fourth at Tipperary on reappearance and could be the answer back over fences off what looks a good mark. The progressive and unexposed Desertmore House is feared most ahead of hat-trick seeking Pakens Rock.

It may be worth siding with BRIDESWELL LAD who ended last season on an upward curve and should be spot-on after a hurdles run

1	3 1st (3) (5/1 +9%) Let Her Loose	5 5/1(+9%)	(3) Let Her Loose 5/1, Seen to good effect from the front when landing 7-runner handicap at Brighton (11.9f, good) under this rider in June. Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap (7/2) at Nottingham (10.2f, good to soft) 27 days ago, slowly away. Up in trip. Emphatic win at Brighton in June and she had an excuse back at 1m2f last time; respected.
2	9 2nd (9) (7/1 +30%) Aighear	7 7/1(+30%)	(9) Aighear 7/1, Bit below form 13½ lengths eighth of 14 to Chief Craftsman in handicap at Doncaster (16.5f, good to firm, 6/1) 22 days ago. Back down in trip. Given a chance by the handicapper. Yet to hit top gear this season and was well held at Doncaster last time.
3	5 3rd (5) (10/1 -33%) Chief Craftsman	10 10/1(-33%)	(5) Chief Craftsman 10/1, Latest win at Doncaster in July under this rider. 7/1, creditable 4¾ lengths sixth of 12 to Point of Honour in handicap at Catterick (12.1f, good) 16 days ago, not ideally placed. One to note. Won over 2m last month but was never involved behind Point Of Honour at Catterick latest.
4	7 4th (7) (4/1 +20%) Point Of Honour	4 4/1(+20%)	(7) Point Of Honour 4/1, C&D winner. 15/2, won 12-runner handicap at Catterick (12.1f, good) 16 days ago, quickening clear. Rider can claim 5 lb this time and he's respected. Won this last year and he scored in good style at Catterick last time; big player.
5th	10 5th (10) (50/1 -25%) Cheese And Wine	50 50/1(-25%)	(10) Cheese And Wine 50/1, Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. Tenth of 11 in minor event at this course (12.5f, good, 25/1) 10 days ago. Yet to be placed in 19 starts and she's been well held here (1m4f) in her last two runs.
6th	2 6th (2) (4/1 -14%) Graces Quest	4 4/1(-14%)	(2) Graces Quest 4/1, Course winner. Latest win at Carlisle in June. 13/2, fourth of 5 in handicap at Hamilton (12.1f, good) 31 days ago, left poorly placed. This is easier and rider going well (2 winners and 2 seconds from last 6 rides under Rules). Lots to like. Won at Carlisle in June but has not really gone on from that and others look stronger.
7th	1 7th (1) (8/1 +33%) Excelcius	8 8/1(+33%)	(1) Excelcius 8/1, Flat/hurdle winner in Ireland for Thomas Mullins in 2021. 25/1, bit below form fourth of 9 in handicap at Ayr (13.1f, good) 11 days ago. Last win was in 2021 and unplaced in all nine starts for current yard; others preferred.
8th	8 8th (8) (4.5/1 +10%) Spirit Of Ash	4.5 4.5/1(+10%)	(8) Spirit Of Ash 4.5/1, Winner at Newcastle in June. Creditable second of 11 at this course (12.5f, good, 9/4) 10 days ago. Tricky sort. Frequent slow starter but she's done well since a hood has been applied; respected.
9th	6 9th (6) (16/1 -33%) Ally Cay	16 16/1(-33%)	(6) Ally Cay 16/1, Modest Flat handicapper, won at Roscommon in 2020, and twice over hurdles in 2021. Off 14 months. First run for yard after leaving John McConnell. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Lengthy absence to overcome, but worth keeping an eye on in the market. With new yard and has something to prove back on the Flat after 446 days off.
10th	4 10th (4) (28/1 -100%) Red Missile	28 28/1(-100%)	(4) Red Missile 28/1, Temperamental sort. Course winner. Last of 8 in handicap (25/1) at this course (16f, good to firm) 32 days ago. Has lost his way under both codes in last five runs and has a lot to prove.

LTO Selection:

A comfortable winner over 1m4f at Catterick last month, POINT OF HONOUR can secure a double stepping up in distance. Pippa Brown negates all of the gelding's 4lb rise for that success with her 5lb claim and the eight-year-old is taken to get the better of Spirit Of Ash, who finished a staying-on second over an extended 1m4f at this track most recently. Let Her Loose completes the shortlist.

GRACES QUEST drops in grade and the dual course winner looks the way to go under an amateur enjoying a good run. A market move for the returning Ally Cay would be worth following, while Point of Honour could go well again.

Top of the list is last year's winner POINT OF HONOUR who scored in good style at Catterick two weeks ago and remains feasibly treated.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
2	2 (2) (33/1 -32%) Jack's Point	33 33/1(-32%)	(2) Jack's Point 33/1, Has struggled for form this year, again not showing any sign that he'll take advantage of his much-reduced mark in a change of headgear at Lingfield last time. Some return to form when visored at Lingfield, though was only fifth of six runners.
1	11 1st (11) (11/1 -47%) Porfin	11 11/1(-47%)	(11) Porfin 11/1, In fine form, doing plenty on the front end in 7f handicap here last week, but this is tougher. Model of consistency of late (6f/7f) and went down narrowly here last week.
2	5 2nd (5) (12/1 +0%) Epic Express	12 12/1(+0%)	(5) Epic Express 12/1, Won 6f handicap on the other course here in May but well held both starts since. Has the services of a young claimer now who has been impressing. Rowley Mile winner in May; below par since but ability is there to feature.
3	1 3rd (1) (3.5/1 +50%) Roshambo	3.5 3.5/1(+50%)	(1) Roshambo 3.5/1, 6f AW winner this time last year and solid efforts in handicaps this term. Back down in grade and should find another race. Again she wasn't the best to break when a well-held third at Carlisle (6f).
4	8 4th (8) (28/1 -100%) Plumette	28 28/1(-100%)	(8) Plumette 28/1, Won twice at Wolverhampton earlier this year for David Loughnane. Fair runs for new yard back on turf the last twice and one to note dropped to 6f. Two fair runs for this yard but over 7f and this is a belated return to 6f.
5th	4 5th (4) (0.83/1 +53%) Swiss Star	0.83 0.83/1(+53%)	(4) Swiss Star 0.83/1, Has made a solid start, winning 6f Doncaster novice last month. The third was an improving winner next time so the form looks solid enough and she's one to keep onside. Looks on a good mark on bare form and entitled to improve some more.
6th	10 6th (10) (6.5/1 +35%) Rhythmic Acclaim	6.5 6.5/1(+35%)	(10) Rhythmic Acclaim 6.5/1, Yet to win, struggling in the mud at Nottingham last time. Her second to Quinault (now rated 105) in the spring is still hard to get away from. Twice runner-up (AW/good to firm) before perhaps finding soft ground against her latest.
7th	7 7th (7) (66/1 -164%) Dors Toyboy	66 66/1(-164%)	(7) Dors Toyboy 66/1, Did well on AW last year, winning three 7f handicaps. Rare run on turf (first start for 8 months) and suspect he'll come on for this. Usually reliable on the AW despite a strike-rate of only 4-35; only once raced on turf.
8th	9 8th (9) (16/1 -100%) Jungle Run	16 16/1(-100%)	(9) Jungle Run 16/1, Another raced mostly on AW, winning 6f Chelmsford handicap in May. Form of subsequent Lingfield effort has worked out nicely and he's one to note. Best form and most runs on the AW; perhaps on a high mark and 0-3 on turf.
9th	3 9th (3) (22/1 -144%) Blue Flame	22 22/1(-144%)	(3) Blue Flame 22/1, Raced mostly on AW and yet to fully fire for current yard. On a very tempting mark if he can find his spark again back on turf fitted with tongue tie, and rider has a good record on him. Interesting. Well held in 5f/7f/6f handicaps on the AW for this yard and tongue-tie added.

LTO Selection:

SWISS STAR has improved with every run and shed her maiden tag at the third time of asking in game fashion at Doncaster. Roger Varian's filly makes her handicap bow and this opening mark of 72 doesn't appear likely to halt her progression. The consistent Porfin deserves to get his head back in front and this drop in trip should be a positive. Roshambo heads the remainder.

There is more to come from the well-bred 3-y-o SWISS STAR after her Doncaster victory and she can make a successful handicap debut. Blue Flame is interesting back under Marco Ghiani from a much-reduced mark, while Jungle Run and Epic Express are a couple of others to note.

The eyes are drawn to the well-bred SWISS STAR (nap) who looks well handicapped on her novice win and there's probably more to come.

1	5 1st (5) (2.5/1 +25%) Mini Magna	2.5 2.5/1(+25%)	(5) Mini Magna 2.5/1, Much improved when second of 12 in maiden at Catterick (6f, good) 9 days ago, clear of rest. May have more to offer yet. Improved from debut when beaten a head at Catterick last time; the one to beat on form.
2	9 2nd (9) (1.38/1 +31%) Kandoo	1.38 1.38/1(+31%)	(9) Kandoo 1.38/1, Acquitted herself well the last twice, latest when third of 13 in maiden (8/1) at Fairyhouse (6f, good) 49 days ago. Since joined new yard and sets the standard on form. Third in her last two starts in Ireland; makes stable debut and has the form to go close.
3	1 3rd (1) (33/1 +0%) Bulldog Drummond	33 33/1(+0%)	(1) Bulldog Drummond 33/1, Once-raced gelding. 11/1, ninth of 12 in maiden at Catterick (6f, good) on debut 9 days ago. Work to do. Blew the start and never figured on his Catterick debut nine days ago.
4	10 4th (10) (4.5/1 +40%) Moe's Legacy	4.5 4.5/1(+40%)	(10) Moe's Legacy 4.5/1, Lightly-raced filly. Good third of 9 in maiden over C&D (good, 9/1) 16 days ago. One of likelier contenders. Third in her last two starts, the latest over C&D; needs another step forward.
5th	11 5th (11) (8/1 -100%) Via Electriano	8 8/1(-100%)	(11) Via Electriano 8/1, Fair filly. Below form at Chantilly latest but made the frame in all 3 starts previously and looks a likely player in first-time blinkers. Only just beaten on her Kempton debut, but she doesn't seem to be progressing; blinkers on.
6th	3 6th (3) (150/1 +0%) Dominant Force	150 150/1(+0%)	(3) Dominant Force 150/1, Twice-raced colt. Eighth of 9 in maiden (250/1) at this C&D (good) 16 days ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere. Huge prices and well beaten in his first two starts; may show more when handicapping.
7th	4 7th (4) (66/1 -65%) Law Of Average	66 66/1(-65%)	(4) Law Of Average 66/1, Foaled May 9. 1,000 gns foal, Pearl Secret colt. Brother to 7f winner Shaykhoon, closely related to 5f/6f winner Spot Lite and half-brother to 2-y-o 5f winner Arthur's Spirit. Stable not known for winning newcomers so probably best watched.
8th	6 8th (6) (33/1 +0%) Snow Boots	33 33/1(+0%)	(6) Snow Boots 33/1, Twice-raced gelding. Sixth of 11 in maiden at Chepstow (6.1f, good to soft, 33/1) 7 days ago. Will hold stronger claims when sent handicapping. A little ability in both starts, but still more likely to come into his own in nurseries.
9th	7 9th (7) (12/1 -60%) Something To Do	12 12/1(-60%)	(7) Something To Do 12/1, Foaled February 10. €12,000 yearling, Bobby's Kitten colt. Brother to winner up to 1¼m Deron Kit and half-brother to 1½m winner Percy Jones. Dam unraced sister to high-class 1¼m/11f winner Lady Marian. Interesting newcomer. Something to like on pedigree and well worth monitoring in the market on debut.

LTO Selection:

MINI MAGNA took a big step forward from his introduction when a head second at Catterick last week and Ed Dunlop's gelding could be hard to stop if finding further progression here. Kandoo showed plenty of promise in Ireland and has to be of interest on her debut for Archie Watson. Moe's Legacy edges out Via Electriano and Something To Do to be the pick of the remainder.

KANDOO has the best form on offer and can make a winning debut for Archie Watson. Mini Magna and Via Electriano look the likeliest dangers.

Preference is for MINI MAGNA who only went down by a head at Catterick on his second start and could easily take another step forward.

Stable in good form but drop back in trip isn't certain to suit. Won four of last five starts; latest over 2m1f at Killarney; up 8lb but a rapid improver.

Bit below form 13¼ lengths fifth of 9 to Emily Dickinson in Curragh Cup at the Curragh (14f, soft, 22/1) 13 days ago. Stable having good spell and assessor has given him a chance.

Visor/tongue strap on first time for handicap debut and he should progress. Lightly-raced maiden winner; shaped as if he would come on plenty for return at Killarney.

16th	4 16th (4) (25/1 +0%) Dame Rapide	25 25/1(+0%)	(4) Dame Rapide 25/1, Latest win at the Curragh in May and matched that form when good fourth of 11 in handicap at that venue (12f, good to firm) 33 days ago. Second in this last year off 5lb lower; in good form on last two Flat outings; player.
17th	5 17th (5) (9/1 -227%) Weston	9 9/1(-227%)	(5) Weston 9/1, Pretty useful in France and already better form for current yard, fifth of 19 in handicap at Royal Ascot (20f, good) 45 days ago, faring best of those held up. Significantly back down in trip and he looks the pick of the weights with promise of more to come. Useful form in Germany; excellent effort when fifth at Ascot; markedly down in trip.

LTO Selection:

Several of these won over two miles last time, but this trip is probably ideal for ZOFFMAN and he gets the vote. He landed a nice pot on easy ground at Leopardstown in the autumn when getting the better of good yardstick Safecracker and lost little in defeat when that rival exacted revenge on much more favourable weight terms at the Curragh on Derby weekend. Teed Up has an excellent course record and his win in the Monday night feature over 2m1f was his fourth at Ballybrit. He got 9lb for that so is 2lb well-in under his penalty. Chally Chute has won four of his last five starts, including a C&D success on heavy ground in the autumn. He's up 8lb for his win over 2m1f at Killarney. La Hacienda was another to win over two miles on her latest start when landing a valuable prize on the all-weather at Newcastle. A Festival winner over 1m6f here last year, she may just be vulnerable over this trip.

A cracking handicap with WESTON just about the pick of the bunch on the back of a very eye-catching run at Royal Ascot on just his second start for Gordon Elliott. Jackfinbar hasn't been with Willie Mullins long, either, and he's a big threat, along with Teed Up, a winner over hurdles at the meeting on Monday.

Fourth in this contest last year off 7lb higher, LAELAPS could offer some value after finding the ground too quick last time.

2	2 (2) (6.5/1 +7%) Vince L'Amour	6.5 6.5/1(+7%)	(2) Vince L'Amour 6.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden who showed more in a first-time tongue strap when fifth of 8 in minor event (25/1) at Catterick (5f, good) 16 days ago, jockey suspended 2 days for failing to ride out for fourth. Into handicaps now and may do better still. Quietly progressive in novice events and he should have more to offer in nurseries.
1	1 1st (1) (2/1 +50%) Grey Gray	2 2/1(+50%)	(1) Grey Gray 2/1, Found a small bit of progress to get off the mark at Lingfield (5f) in June. Not disgraced on nursery debut there (6f) subsequently and ought to benefit from a return to the minimum trip. Respected. Didn't seem to get home over 6f last time and could resume her progress back in trip.
2	5 2nd (5) (2.25/1 -13%) Bazball	2.25 2.25/1(-13%)	(5) Bazball 2.25/1, Opened account in 7-runner nursery at Bath (5f, good) 16 days ago, driven out. 7 lb higher now but likely to remain competitive. Off the mark with a dominant display at Bath two weeks ago; big player again up 7lb.

5th	3 5th (3) (5/1 +17%) Celestial Flight	5 5/1(+17%)	(3) Celestial Flight 5/1, Built on debut promise when landing a 6f York seller in June. Ran below that level switched to a nursery at Pontefract (6f) since, though. Disappointing on nursery debut at Pontefract and he needs to kick on again back in trip.
6th	7 6th (7) (7/1 +13%) Out Of Line	7 7/1(+13%)	(7) Out Of Line 7/1, Just poor form to date and has been handed a stiff-looking opening mark. Still early days but she needs plenty of progress on nursery debut; stablemate of Bazball.
7th	8 7th (8) (20/1 -43%) Naval Flight	20 20/1(-43%)	(8) Naval Flight 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden who failed to improve when eighth of 14 in nursery at Catterick (5f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Some ability at Beverley but she weakened on her nursery debut at Catterick last time.

LTO Selection:

In a contest lacking depth, it could be worth siding with CELESTIAL FLIGHT, who was a beaten favourite when sixth on his nursery debut at Pontefract last month. He kept on to score in selling company on his penultimate start at York, beating the reopposing Bazball into fourth, and he is fancied to confirm that form. Karl Burke's inmate has since won at Bath and is feared most off 7lb higher. Grey Gray heads the remainder.

BE HERE NOW took a step forward when third on his nursery debut over C&D last week and, with further progress possible, he's just about the most appealing candidate. Bath scorer Bazball is feared most, ahead of Grey Gray, who will be suited by a return to the minimum trip.

Preference is for BAZBALL, who got off the mark with a dominant display in a Bath nursery two weeks ago and is open to more progress.

8	8 (8) (8.5/1 -31%) Roadway	8.5 8.5/1(-31%)	(8) Roadway 8.5/1, Seemed unsuited by conditions when fifth of 6 on handicap debut at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy, 13/2) in April. Much more like it at Leicester the following month but ground conditions could be important. Bettered disappointing handicap debut when close third at Leicester; may not want rain.
1	1 1st (1) (12/1 +0%) Sid's Annie	12 12/1(+0%)	(1) Sid's Annie 12/1, Quirky sort. Made if 3 wins in her last 6 starts when seeing off 6 rivals at Doncaster ((1¼m, good to firm) last month but habitual slow start meant she could never land a blow at Chester 3 weeks ago. Three wins this year; below form on soft ground last time, though; rain a worry.
2	5 2nd (5) (2.25/1 +10%) Shazam	2.25 2.25/1(+10%)	(5) Shazam 2.25/1, Real improver switched to handicaps, supplementing her Lingfield win at Leicester in June. Off since but limit not yet reached and she's a huge player upped further in trip. 2-2 since upped to 1m2f and switched to handicaps in the spring; new trip today.
3	4 3rd (4) (4/1 -14%) Ragosina	4 4/1(-14%)	(4) Ragosina 4/1, Hinted at ability in novice events at 2 yrs and has duly improved for the switch to handicaps/step up to 1¼m this season, off the mark in narrow fashion fitted with cheekpieces here a month ago. Upped further in trip and she can remain competitive. Came good over 1m2f here in first-time cheekpieces in June; moves up in trip today.
4	7 4th (7) (6.5/1 +64%) Pure Gold	6.5 6.5/1(+64%)	(7) Pure Gold 6.5/1, Made a winning start at Kempton last summer but she hasn't built on that since, failing to convince with her attitude in a hood at Newbury a month ago. Tends to race too freely but didn't run badly when fourth in first-time hood last month.
5th	2 5th (2) (8/1 -14%) Raqisa	8 8/1(-14%)	(2) Raqisa 8/1, Won 11.5f handicap at Yarmouth in May and even better form when placed from revised marks at Windsor this summer. Would also have finished closer last time with a clear run so she has to be of serious interest. In good form since returned to the Flat in blinkers this spring, and goes on any ground.
6th	3 6th (3) (6.5/1 -30%) Sea Me Dance	6.5 6.5/1(-30%)	(3) Sea Me Dance 6.5/1, Has cranked it up a notch fitted with a hood on her last 2 starts, opening her account in gritty fashion on first try over 12f at Kempton a month ago. Back in handicap company and set to give it another good go. 1m4f AW novice winner last month but still needs to prove she's fully effective on turf.
7th	6 7th (6) (11/1 +21%) Moogie	11 11/1(+21%)	(6) Moogie 11/1, Debut winner at Newcastle in May but disappointing twice since, markedly so on handicap/turf debut at Doncaster. Bounce back called for. AW novice winner on debut in May but disappointing twice since; hard to predict.

LTO Selection:

SHAZAM arrives seeking a hat-trick after victories at Lingfield and Leicester, and this looks like a good chance to add to her winning sequence. Kevin Philippart De Foy's filly is certainly on an upward trajectory and although she has been raised a further 6lb in the ratings, it may not halt her progression. Fellow last-time-out winners Ragosina and Sea Me Dance should also be challenging at the line.

RAQISA faces no easy task against the 3-y-os but she's a mare in top form and would have finished even closer from this mark at Windsor last month granted more luck. She gets the vote in favour of hat-trick seeking filly Shazam and Ragosina.

The forecast rain heightens interest in soft-ground winner RAQISA, who looked unlucky not to go close off this mark at Windsor in July.

2	6 2nd (6) (3.5/1 +13%) Esmeray	3.5 3.5/1(+13%)	(6) Esmeray 3.5/1, Promising individual. Third of 7 in minor event at Newbury (10f, good to firm, 12/1) on debut 22 days ago.

4	3 4th (3) (25/1 -178%) Zain Farhh	25 25/1(-178%)	(3) Zain Farhh 25/1, Twice-raced maiden. First run since leaving Richard Fahey when fourth of 11 in maiden at Pontefract (10f, good to soft, 33/1) 24 days ago, slowly away. Work to do with principals here. Has shown ability in two maidens at Pontefract but needs to find improvement.
5th	1 5th (1) (12/1 +52%) Beau Nash	12 12/1(+52%)	(1) Beau Nash 12/1, Once-raced winner. 10/3, won 11-runner minor event at Wolverhampton (8.6f) on debut for John Gosden, keeping on well. Off over 2 years. Market should prove best guide to claims on return. Gelded since last seen. Absent since debut win in 2020 when with Gosden yard; sold for just £1,500 in June.
6th	7 6th (7) (28/1 -100%) Ginza	28 28/1(-100%)	(7) Ginza 28/1, Twice-raced maiden. Seventh of 15 in minor event at Chelmsford City (10f, 16/1) 57 days ago. First run for yard after leaving John & Thady Gosden. Others preferred. May be capable of progress for new yard back on turf; still with same owner.
7th	2 7th (2) (50/1 -100%) Looksee	50 50/1(-100%)	(2) Looksee 50/1, Twice-raced maiden on Flat. 200/1, third of 11 in minor event at Leicester (10f, good) 15 days ago. Up against it. Ran well last time but again looks vulnerable to 3yo rivals who have better form.

LTO Selection:

ELEGANCIA has already shown plenty of ability in her short career to date and was last seen finishing a close second at Nottingham in June. A reproduction of that level of form would give the daughter of Lope De Vega a big chance here. Ribal also hit the crossbar on his most recent start and Andrew Balding's gelding has to be of some interest. Others to note are Esmeray and Ginza.

There should be more to come from ESMERAY, who produced an encouraging first effort at Newbury last month. Elegancia and Ribal look the obvious dangers.

The form choice is ELEGANCIA, ahead of Ribal. Esmeray is open to improvement.

7th	5 7th (5) (33/1 -10%) Cosmic Lady	33 33/1(-10%)	(5) Cosmic Lady 33/1, Once-raced filly. Tongue strap on, sixth of 12 in maiden at Killarney (11.2f, good to soft, 22/1) on debut 18 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Green when 6th beaten 10l on debut; should progress, particularly if the ground dries.

LTO Selection:

Willie Mullins runs two bumper winners and perhaps VADSA QUEEN will prove the pick. The selection made a promising debut when beating all bar better fancied stablemate Lisnagar Fortune at last year's Punchestown Festival and won easily when reappearing at Tramore this summer. Ivana also looked a useful prospect when making a successful debut at Limerick. Yamalia Star and Hey Whatever are closely matched on running behind Beechwood at Killarney last month, while Eziva and Delicate Girl have also shown plenty of promise in two maiden starts. Countess Of Tyrone is a full-sister to Earl Of Tyrone, who was a highly-progressive sort for the same connections last year - winning at Listed level and only beaten around a length in the Ebor at York.

Willie Mullins looks to hold a strong hand courtesy of bumper winners IVANA and Vadsa Queen. The former was impressive in justifying favouritism at Limerick in May and is taken to maintain her unbeaten record now switched to the Flat. Yamalia Star improved on her debut form when runner-up at Killarney 18 days ago and has the pedigree to do better still.

Preference is for DELICATE GIRL who's had the form of her narrow defeat from last time significantly boosted and she can progress

8th	5 8th (5) (8.5/1 +58%) Blufferonthebus	8.5 8.5/1(+58%)	(5) Blufferonthebus 8.5/1, Once-raced filly. Sixth of 10 in minor event at Beverley (5f, good to soft, 33/1) on debut 17 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Might do better for that initial experience. Well held on Beverley debut; up 2f in trip and needs more.
9th	7 9th (7) (7/1 +50%) Lady Of Time	7 7/1(+50%)	(7) Lady Of Time 7/1, Twice-raced filly. Sixth of 11 in maiden at Catterick (7f, good, 7/1) 9 days ago, not knocked about. Has the potential for better but looks more of a handicap type. Sixth in both starts last month, may do better when tackling nurseries after this.

LTO Selection:

CONSOLING built on her debut to finish a creditable second over 6f at Carlisle in June and a reproduction of that effort can see her firmly in the picture. Ollie Pears' filly kept on well on that occasion and shaped as though she could benefit from a stiffer stamina test here. Mister Daydream was a well-beaten favourite on his racecourse bow at Beverley in June and is fancied to improve, while Lady Of Time looks best of the rest.

CONSOLING improved from her debut when runner-up at Carlisle and, with the longer trip likely to suit, she's expected to open her account in a weak race. Mister Daydream could prove a different proposition to his debut, so he's worth a mention and Nina Rapida is an interesting newcomer for a stable that has been amongst the winners lately.

This looks a good opportunity for CONSOLING. She has already shown more than enough in two starts to be able to win a race like this.

LTO Selection:

DOOM was only beaten a head by subsequent Oaks winner Soul Sister at Doncaster back in the autumn and looks the one to beat on her return. William Haggas' fillly is out of a dual Grade 1 winner and the daughter of Dubawi likely has more to offer as a three-year-old and beyond. Imperial Quarter is a half-sister to Group 1 winner Teona and must enter calculations on her racecourse bow, while Queen Of The Pride is out of St Leger heroine Simple Verse so is another newcomer to note.

DOOM was beaten only a head by subsequent Oaks winner Soul Sister at Doncaster on her final 2-y-o outing and, with better still to come this year given her exceptional pedigree, she gets the nod to open her account. Whispering Words is a well-made filly who seems sure to leave her debut form well behind, while Imperial Quarter makes most appeal of the newcomers before market clues.

She has a lengthy absence to overcome but DOOM is a standout on form after pushing the top-class Soul Sister to a head.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (2.25/1 +36%) Big Jimbo	2.25 2.25/1(+36%)	(4) Big Jimbo 2.25/1, Winner at Kempton in February who ran with credit, on return from 11 weeks off, when 2 lengths sixth of 12 to Uther Pendragon in handicap over C&D (good, 7/1) 16 days ago. Entitled to build on that. More consistent than most at this level but has a patchy record at best on slow turf.
2	2 2nd (2) (8/1 +20%) Gautrey	8 8/1(+20%)	(2) Gautrey 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 2¼ lengths eighth of 12 to Uther Pendragon in handicap at this C&D (good, 66/1) 16 days ago, nearest finish. Each-way claims. First signs of life on his turf debut over C&D last time; that gave something to build on.
3	9 3rd (9) (16/1 -14%) Mini Mildred	16 16/1(-14%)	(9) Mini Mildred 16/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, seventh of 8 in handicap (9/4) at Les Landes (8.4f, firm) 28 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes limited appeal. 1 lb out of the weights. Would want to see some support in first-time cheekpieces before considering her.
4	5 4th (5) (12/1 +25%) Uther Pendragon	12 12/1(+25%)	(5) Uther Pendragon 12/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in July. Sixth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft, 9/1) 9 days ago. Others preferred. Five of these behind off a 3lb lower mark over C&D last month; is fine on any ground.
5th	7 5th (7) (14/1 -17%) Ladypacksapunch	14 14/1(-17%)	(7) Ladypacksapunch 14/1, Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. Creditable 2 lengths seventh of 12 to Uther Pendragon in handicap at this C&D (good, 14/1) 16 days ago. Others more persuasive. Maiden who has been threatening for a while; slower ground is an unknown.
6th	1 6th (1) (14/1 +30%) Endofastorm	14 14/1(+30%)	(1) Endofastorm 14/1, Below form sixth of 14 in handicap (9/1) at Kempton (12f) 72 days ago. Not out of things. Only run once on turf and is wildly inconsistent; yard also responsible for Susanbequick.
7th	3 7th (3) (6.5/1 -86%) Miss Sligo	6.5 6.5/1(-86%)	(3) Miss Sligo 6.5/1, Career best when winning 10-runner classified event at Chepstow (1½m, good to soft) last month and backed that up with solid second at Wolverhampton (12.2f) latest. Shortlisted. Whether she wants this ground remains to be seen but nothing arrives in better form.
8th	8 8th (8) (8.5/1 +15%) Susanbequick	8.5 8.5/1(+15%)	(8) Susanbequick 8.5/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 12/1, bit below form third of 9 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 9 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. 1 lb out of the weights. This will be more of a test in the conditions; needs to find a bit more.
9th	13 9th (13) (14/1 -40%) Mellow Mood	14 14/1(-40%)	(13) Mellow Mood 14/1, Respectable 7 lengths third of 10 to Miss Sligo in minor event (12/1) at Chepstow (12f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Some way behind Miss Sligo latest; is 5lb better off, which entitles her to close the gap.
10th	12 10th (12) (5/1 -67%) Ocean Ridge	5 5/1(-67%)	(12) Ocean Ridge 5/1, Lightly-raced maiden who found some improvement when third of 8 in handicap (4/1) at Yarmouth (10.1f, good) 23 days ago, unable to sustain effort. 1 lb lower now and must enter calculations. Better effort upped to 1m2f last time; lightly raced compared to the rest of these.
11th	11 11th (11) (40/1 -43%) Winnaretta	40 40/1(-43%)	(11) Winnaretta 40/1, 80/1, good third of 7 in handicap at Chepstow (10f, good to firm) 15 days ago, having run of race. Others more appealing. Failed to progress for Andrew Balding; Ladypacksapunch is perhaps her yard's best shot.
12th	10 12th (10) (40/1 +20%) Many Words	40 40/1(+20%)	(10) Many Words 40/1, Last of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f, 28/1). Off 7 months. Hard to recommend. 1 lb out of the weights. Longstanding, ex-Irish maiden who returns from eight months off tonight.
13th	6 13th (6) (28/1 +15%) Street Jester	28 28/1(+15%)	(6) Street Jester 28/1, C&D winner. 33/1, 4½ lengths last of 12 to Uther Pendragon in handicap at this C&D (good) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Work to do. Not without hope in two runs back but conditions would be a worry in first-time headgear.

LTO Selection:

OCEAN RIDGE put up the best performance of his career to date when third at Yarmouth off a 1lb higher mark and he could improve further for this step up in distance. The unexposed three-year-old can shed his maiden tag at the sixth time of asking, although Miss Sligo has been in fine form recently and will be dangerous. Last week's Bath third Susanbequick is another to consider.

MISS SLIGO arrives in fine form and gets the nod in a tricky-looking handicap. Ocean Ridge and Big Jimbo head the list of dangers.

A few have stamina to prove and the ground is a concern for most. As it stands OCEAN RIDGE is narrowly preferred to Miss Sligo.

3	15 3rd (15) (6/1 -100%) Partisan Hero	6 6/1(-100%)	(15) Partisan Hero 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for first time, excellent third of 14 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft, 5/1) 17 days ago, faring best of those held up. Likely has a bigger performance in him. Modest maiden form but big step forward when just 5s on h'cap bow latest; only up 1lb.

Carries penalty but step back up in trip will suit and he's clearly in good order. Winner here on Monday; 7lb penalty makes life tough but he stays 1m and not ruled out.
6th	7 6th (7) (20/1 +39%) Bright Dick	20 20/1(+39%)	(7) Bright Dick 20/1, Below form seventh of 16 in handicap at Tipperary (9f, good, 33/1) 30 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Back to best with 4l maiden defeat on return; hard to recommend on 2 runs at this trip.
7th	5 7th (5) (25/1 +0%) Jazz Forever	25 25/1(+0%)	(5) Jazz Forever 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 14/1 and hooded for first time, first run since leaving M. Halford when sixth of 9 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft) 80 days ago, not ideally placed. Solid form in 2 AW maidens prior to promising h'cap debut; not as good on turf/yard bow.
8th	3 8th (3) (28/1 +15%) Harriet Eagle	28 28/1(+15%)	(3) Harriet Eagle 28/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 11 in maiden (125/1) at the Curragh (7f, soft) 13 days ago. Up in trip. Makes handicap debut with promise of more to come but mark certainly demands it. Improving with each run; opening mark demands more but longer trip may suit.
9th	18 9th (18) (2.25/1 +25%) Navy Beach	2.25 2.25/1(+25%)	(18) Navy Beach 2.25/1, Good third of 10 in handicap at Down Royal (10.3f, good, 6/1) 41 days ago, never nearer. Tongue strap on first time and very interesting contender. Getting better with each run this term; placed latest but may not want drop in trip.
10th	16 10th (16) (28/1 -75%) Lisieux	28 28/1(-75%)	(16) Lisieux 28/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 12/1, below form seventh of 17 in handicap at Navan (5.8f, good to soft) 20 days ago, left with too much to do. Significantly up in trip. Cheekpieces on first time. Won on h'cap bow at 2; some credible races in defeat this term; unsuited by 5.5f latest.
11th	9 11th (9) (28/1 -100%) Western Cape	28 28/1(-100%)	(9) Western Cape 28/1, 16/5, creditable fourth of 11 in claimer at Fairyhouse (10f, good) 23 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. First run for yard after leaving Denis Hogan. 0-12 but solid runs in defeat in 2 recent claims; respected back in h'cap off 64; yard bow.
12th	13 12th (13) (66/1 -100%) Kami	66 66/1(-100%)	(13) Kami 66/1, 33/1, respectable eleventh of 20 in handicap at Cork (7f, soft) 49 days ago. Back up in trip. Blinkers/tongue strap on 1st time. Plenty to find on form. Unplaced in 6 starts and signs she hasn't trained on over variety of trips this term.
13th	8 13th (8) (22/1 +33%) Rough And Tough	22 22/1(+33%)	(8) Rough And Tough 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Sligo (10.4f, good to soft, 20/1) 80 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. Progressed with each maiden but took a backwards step on h'cap bow latest; tough mark.
14th	10 14th (10) (18/1 -13%) Snowhaven	18 18/1(-13%)	(10) Snowhaven 18/1, Twelfth of 15 in handicap at Killarney (11.2f, good to soft, 10/3) 18 days ago. Back down in trip. Progressed when 5th on h'cap debut; mishaps twice since; trip might be sharp but fair mark.
15th	17 15th (17) (66/1 -100%) Dougie's Double	66 66/1(-100%)	(17) Dougie's Double 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 66/1, seventh of 8 in maiden at Killarney (8.2f, good) 16 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Uphill task. Only beat 1 home when beaten 12l last month; doesn't look well treated on maiden form.
16th	2 16th (2) (8.5/1 +39%) Sir John Monash	8.5 8.5/1(+39%)	(2) Sir John Monash 8.5/1, Bit below form eighth of 14 in handicap (5/1) at Dundalk (7f) 23 days ago. Back up in trip, which may help him. 0-6; went close on yard debut; not as good on AW since but respected on 2nd turf outing.
17th	6 17th (6) (40/1 -150%) Rival Queen	40 40/1(-150%)	(6) Rival Queen 40/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 14/1, ninth of 16 in maiden at Limerick (8f, good) 42 days ago, not knocked about. Tongue strap on first time and type to do better in handicaps, but assessor taken no chances with her mark. Promising debut in Naas maiden; not in same form since; drawn wider than ideal.

LTO Selection:

NAVY BEACH has caught the eye when finishing well on his latest two starts and has probably had this week in mind for some time. The Galileo gelding came home well over a mile at Limerick and Colin Keane is now booked after again putting in his best work at the finish over 1m2f at Down Royal. The Dermot Weld-trained Partisan Hero went into the Galway notebook when finishing strongly on his handicap debut over a mile at Killarney last month and looks an obvious threat. Rio Largo has progressed well this year, winning twice over seven furlongs, including here on Monday evening, but now carries a big burden including a 7lb penalty for that recent success. Fratas ran well over 1m4f here on Monday and should be suited by the drop back in trip.

NAVY BEACH creeps in at the foot of the weights for very shrewd connections and given we surely haven't seen the best of him yet, he's a fascinating contender. Lasting Peace seems sure to give it another good go, with Rio Largo, a winner at the meeting on Monday, clearly in excellent heart.

HARRIET EAGLE may be worth chancing. She's been getting better with every start in maiden company and should relish a longer trip

4	7 4th (7) (3/1 +57%) Without Delay	3 3/1(+57%)	(7) Without Delay 3/1, Modest filly. Course winner. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap (11/2) at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 23 days ago, nearest finish. Merits consideration. Course winner (1m) and this is a drop in grade; soft ground would be a question mark.
5th	6 5th (6) (4/1 +27%) Willing To Please	4 4/1(+27%)	(6) Willing To Please 4/1, Modest mare. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. 6/4, below form sixth of 10 in minor event at Brighton (8f, good) 24 days ago. Can make presence felt. Solid form claims but her two runs on slower than good have been unconvincing.
6th	3 6th (3) (20/1 +0%) Lucky Lucky Lucky	20 20/1(+0%)	(3) Lucky Lucky Lucky 20/1, Modest gelding. One win from 29 Flat runs. Eleventh of 13 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 22/1). Off 112 days. Won similar event on AW in February; off since quiet run in April; rain would be a concern.
7th	10 7th (10) (6.5/1 -8%) Intoxicata	6.5 6.5/1(-8%)	(10) Intoxicata 6.5/1, Modest filly. Winner at Lingfield in June. 4/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 23 days ago. 7f AW winner in June; less good twice since; something to prove for now.
8th	1 8th (1) (2.5/1 -25%) Bonito Cavalo	2.5 2.5/1(-25%)	(1) Bonito Cavalo 2.5/1, Modest gelding. Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. 2/1, good second of 6 in handicap at Ayr (5f, heavy) 4 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Has good chance on form and can open his account. Exposed maiden but he has been knocking at the door of late; stamina for 7f not assured.
9th	11 9th (11) (25/1 -56%) Made Of Lir	25 25/1(-56%)	(11) Made Of Lir 25/1, Modest filly. Latest win at Ripon in June. Visored for 1st time, fifth of 8 in handicap at Leicester (8.2f, soft, 14/1) 9 days ago. Three sprint wins but stamina a concern here, especially were it to go soft.
10th	4 10th (4) (50/1 -52%) Miss Snuggles	50 50/1(-52%)	(4) Miss Snuggles 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 12 in handicap (25/1) at Catterick (7f, good to soft), very slowly away. Off 10 months. Minor promise one year ago but well beaten at Catterick when last seen 11 months ago.
11th	8 11th (8) (28/1 +15%) George Lodge	28 28/1(+15%)	(8) George Lodge 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 9 in handicap (20/1) at Carlisle (6.9f, good to soft) 64 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Uphill task. Some promise over C&D in May but well held next time; new headgear given a go.
12th	9 12th (9) (100/1 -100%) Hold On Together	100 100/1(-100%)	(9) Hold On Together 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 50/1, last of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, soft) 20 days ago. Poor form in her four starts and not easily recommended.

LTO Selection:

BONITO CAVALO was a very good second over 5f at Ayr on Monday and he's fancied to go one better here. Jim Goldie's charge is likely to enjoy this step back up to 7f after shaping as if the extra yardage would suit on that occasion. The Gay Blade looks the biggest danger after a decent third over 6f at Hamilton, while Willing To Please should be taken seriously back at this trip.

BONITO CAVALO was beaten only by a relatively unexposed sort at Ayr on Monday and has a good chance of finally breaking his duck. Without Delay, The Gay Blade and Willing To Please make up the shortlist.

In an unappealing betting event the tentative vote goes to THE GAY BLADE on the back of his solid third at Hamilton two weeks ago.

1	12 1st (12) (14/1 +44%) Bint Al Daar	14 14/1(+44%)	(12) Bint Al Daar 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Ran up to best when third on debut for this yard at Haydock (1m) in June but seemingly not 100% on the day when finishing well beaten last of 6 at Beverley (8.5f) last month. Promising third on stable debut in June (good to firm); struggled on good to soft since.
2	5 2nd (5) (10/1 +38%) King Cabo	10 10/1(+38%)	(5) King Cabo 10/1, Opened turf account at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) and seemingly raised his game when a close third at Newbury next time. Pulled too hard under an amateur rider at Chester since. Not seen to best effect on latest outing but has claims if judged on earlier form.
3	4 3rd (4) (3.33/1 +5%) Roman Dynasty	3.33 3.33/1(+5%)	(4) Roman Dynasty 3.33/1, Impressive Nottingham winner and just failed at Yarmouth and Sandown next 2 starts. Should make another bold bid. In good form this summer and versatile ground-wise; ought to make his presence felt.
4	11 4th (11) (4/1 -14%) Panning For Gold	4 4/1(-14%)	(11) Panning For Gold 4/1, Well held all 4 starts on AW but different proposition switched to turf, completing a hat-trick with a bit to spare at Doncaster (1m) 22 days ago. Looked a little ungainly then but unlikely the assessor has caught up with him just yet. 3-3 since switched to turf and probably still improving; unraced on going slower than good.
5th	1 5th (1) (4/1 +60%) Cabinet Of Clowns	4 4/1(+60%)	(1) Cabinet Of Clowns 4/1, Back to best when landing a first handicap success over C&D, making all. Unable to dominate at Ascot since but respected back at this venue. C&D winner in June (made all) but current mark probably demands a career-best.
6th	9 6th (9) (12/1 +14%) Taritino	12 12/1(+14%)	(9) Taritino 12/1, Won 7f Redcar novice on second start at 2 yrs and has resumed in good order this season, finishing sixth in a big-field Newmarket handicap on return prior to going close at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm). Too keen for his own good at Sandown since. Close second over 7f in June but didn't fire last month; moves up in trip today.
7th	2 7th (2) (10/1 -43%) Night Arc	10 10/1(-43%)	(2) Night Arc 10/1, Improved when landing a 1¼m Leicester handicap on the second of just 2 appearances last season. Low-key start to the campaign but more like it in recent months, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Sandown (8f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Needs considering under a penalty. Battled on well to lead close home at Sandown last week; may need rain to stay away.
8th	10 8th (10) (11/1 -120%) Film Star	11 11/1(-120%)	(10) Film Star 11/1, Improved since handicapping, winning 5-runner Brighton handicap (soft) before just failing there last month. Much respected with further progress a possibility. Has form-figures of 212 over 7f at Brighton since switched to handicaps; up in trip here.
9th	7 9th (7) (22/1 -120%) Ardbraccan	22 22/1(-120%)	(7) Ardbraccan 22/1, Won her maiden here as a 2-y-o but winless since, seventh of 8 in handicap at Windsor (10f, good, 25/1) 11 days ago. Engaged 3.50 Nottingham Thursday. Yet to add to 2yo maiden win but placed off 2lb lower in spring; each-way claims.
10th	8 10th (8) (25/1 -150%) Dion Baker	25 25/1(-150%)	(8) Dion Baker 25/1, Finally shed his maiden tag at Yarmouth last but only just held on and not an obvious one to follow up. Held on well to get off the mark last month and will be fine over today's extra furlong.
11th	6 11th (6) (100/1 -52%) Point Of Fact	100 100/1(-52%)	(6) Point Of Fact 100/1, Made winning debut when trained in France last year but well below form on his last 3 outings for this yard and now has plenty to prove. Form has nosedived since two fair AW runs for new stable in February/March.
12th	3 12th (3) (12/1 +52%) Power Of Darkness	12 12/1(+52%)	(3) Power Of Darkness 12/1, Nearly 2 years without a win. Continues to fall in the weights but not showing any sign that he'll be taking advantage. Without a win for nearly two years and recent efforts have been underwhelming.

LTO Selection:

Although this represents a drop in class for Night Arc, he has to shoulder a 5lb penalty for a game success at Sandown. Therefore, the vote goes to PANNING FOR GOLD, who has gone up a total of 18lb for victories at Yarmouth, Brighton and Doncaster, and his most recent triumph suggested that he isn't done progressing yet. Roman Dynasty is holding his form really well and is another to consider.

PANNING FOR GOLD still looked ahead of the handicapper when completing his hat-trick with something to spare at Doncaster 3 weeks ago so remains one to keep onside. The in-form Roman Dynasty is the obvious threat along with progressive 3-y-o Film Star.

Perhaps the answer might be ROMAN DYNASTY, who has been in good form in recent weeks and looked a shade unlucky at Sandown last time.

However, runner-up at this course on her previous 2 starts, so she can fare better having dropped below her last winning mark. Had a lot of racing and has to bounce back from a below-par effort last time; ground fine.

5th	4 5th (4) (5/1 -11%) Princess Naomi	5 5/1(-11%)	(4) Princess Naomi 5/1, C&D winner in April but below form last 2 starts, fifth of 6 in handicap at Haydock (7f, good to soft, 4/1) 2 weeks ago. Versatile with regards to conditions, though, and she can bounce back returned to this venue. Conditions fine but below market expectations the last twice; something to prove.
6th	1 6th (1) (7.5/1 -150%) Beau Roc	7.5 7.5/1(-150%)	(1) Beau Roc 7.5/1, Opened her account at this course in July. However, seemed unsuited by conditions when sixth of 7 in handicap at Doncaster (5f, soft, 9/1) 13 days ago. Any further rain would be a negative for her chances. Three of these behind over 5f here last month; this longer trip on slower ground a concern.
7th	7 7th (7) (33/1 +18%) Mountain Run	33 33/1(+18%)	(7) Mountain Run 33/1, In first-time blinkers, ran poorly when last of 8 in handicap (25/1) at Kempton (6f) in February. Headgear quickly discarded as she makes turf debut. Has work to do. Returns from a six-month break; needs to improve a lot for the different conditions.
8th	6 8th (6) (33/1 -65%) Fragrance	33 33/1(-65%)	(6) Fragrance 33/1, Promise when third at Chepstow in June but hasn't gone on from that effort in 2 subsequent starts, 5½ lengths eighth of 9 to Beau Roc in handicap at this course (5f, good, 10/1) 23 days ago. Regressed sharply since winning a maiden last spring; yard been dry in three months.

LTO Selection:

BEAU ROC forced All In The Hips and Katar to settle for minor honours when scoring by a length over 5f at this track on her penultimate run, and she was well on top at the line that day so can confirm her superiority and put her subsequent Doncaster defeat behind her. Princess Naomi's form has tapered off but she was in fine fettle here back in the spring and could be a player if she can recapture that sparkle.

ALL IN THE HIPS ran one of this season's lesser races at Haydock 13 days ago, but she had finished runner-up at this course on her previous 2 starts and is now 1 lb below her last winning mark. She can leave her latest run behind to get the better of Princess Naomi, who can also bounce back returned to this C&D. Katar is another to consider.

A chance is taken on GIDDY AUNT, who'll be happier down from 7f and whose dam was fine on slow ground. Katar is second choice.

Info	Form	Odds
1	3 1st (3) (1.88/1 +75%) Shanroe	1.88 1.88/1(+75%)	(3) Shanroe 1.88/1, Smart gelding. 16/1, unseated rider in listed race at Limerick (12.5f, good) 42 days ago. Beat only 2 rivals when winning this last year. Won this last year before excellent run in the Ebor; big player on best form.
2	6 2nd (6) (3.33/1 -77%) Mt Leinster	3.33 3.33/1(-77%)	(6) Mt Leinster 3.33/1, Useful gelding. Course winner. Seventh of 11 in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (17f, heavy, 4/1). Off 6 months. Below form when last seen on the Flat but definite claims on his best form in this sphere. 3-6 on Flat; not seen on the level since career best 2nd to Barbados in 2021; needs more.
3	7 3rd (7) (2.25/1 +36%) Stratum	2.25 2.25/1(+36%)	(7) Stratum 2.25/1, Smart gelding. 6 lengths seventh of 9 to Dawn Rising in minor event (9/2) at Royal Ascot (21.6f, good to firm) 41 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Worth a chance to bounce back in first-time cheekpieces. Group 2-level in pomp; big swing in weights with Dawn Rising for recent Royal Ascot defeat.
4	5 4th (5) (5/1 +50%) M C Muldoon	5 5/1(+50%)	(5) M C Muldoon 5/1, Below form seventeenth of 32 in handicap at Newmarket (18f, good to soft, 9/2). Off 22 months. Hard to know how much ability he retains, but it's significant that his top yard are persevering, so not ruled out. Tailed off in Cesarewitch when last seen in 2021; stablemates are rated higher.
5th	8 5th (8) (12/1 +76%) Effernock Fizz	12 12/1(+76%)	(8) Effernock Fizz 12/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. 18/5, pulled up in handicap chase at Killarney (17f, good) 14 days ago. Fairly useful on the Flat, good on last Flat run. Plenty to find. Beaten 4l off a mark of 74 when last seen on the Flat; mountain to climb.
6th	2 6th (2) (50/1 -25%) Kottayam	50 50/1(-25%)	(2) Kottayam 50/1, Once-raced winner on Flat. Fairly useful winner at 16f in bumpers. 4/1, fourth of 9 in novice hurdle at Thurles (23.3f, good to soft). Off 9 months. First run for yard after leaving W. P. Mullins. Others preferred. Bumper winner and won on Flat bow but plenty to find on yard debut at this level.

LTO Selection:

STRATUM gets a tentative vote with the weights in his favour. The Willie Mullins-trained gelding won the Queen Alexandra at Royal Ascot last year but faded inside the final furlong in this year's renewal of that stamina test behind Dawn Rising. The selection now meets that rival on 10lb better terms as he bids to overturn a six-length deficit and is fitted with cheekpieces for the first time. Dawn Rising was a Grade 3 winner over hurdles last season and warmed up for that Ascot win when placed in the Group 3 Saval Beg Levmoss Stakes at Leopardstown. Shanroe has been a great servant to connections but unfortunately unseated his rider early on at Limerick last time, while Mt Leinster hasn't run on the Flat in nearly two years and has been campaigned over fences since.

STRATUM was behind Dawn Rising in the Queen Alexandra at Royal Ascot last time but he's on better terms with that rival now and cheekpieces could spark him back into life, so he gets the marginal vote. Mt Leinster, a stablemate of the selection, is a big danger.

Last year's winner SHANROE has more on his plate this year but has shown he's capable of smart form in the last 2 editions of the Ebor

1	7 1st (7) (2/1 -6%) Only Spoofing	2 2/1(-6%)	(7) Only Spoofing 2/1, Won this corresponding event from a 7 lb higher mark in 2022 and turned in his best effort of the season when second in 5-runner handicap at Bellewstown (5f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Major player. C&D record reads 311 including winning this race last year off 7lb higher; good run latest.
2	6 2nd (6) (5/1 -43%) Princess Karine	5 5/1(-43%)	(6) Princess Karine 5/1, Ran out a convincing winner at Carlisle in June and has run well both starts in defeat since, though doesn't seem to have much in hand from present mark. C&D winner; having a good season but not much wiggle room off her current mark.
3	3 3rd (3) (6.5/1 +35%) Looking For Lynda	6.5 6.5/1(+35%)	(3) Looking For Lynda 6.5/1, C&D winner who is yet to fully fire this season. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Useful 2yo; handicapper on top this season; slower ground and new headgear may help.
4	2 4th (2) (11/1 +39%) Look Out Louis	11 11/1(+39%)	(2) Look Out Louis 11/1, Had a productive 2022, winning 4 times, but hasn't returned in much form this term. Enough to prove despite falling mark. Having a quiet year but he's down in the weights and class today; handles good to soft.
5th	9 5th (9) (8.5/1 +47%) Resilience	8.5 8.5/1(+47%)	(9) Resilience 8.5/1, Fared much better than of late having dropped in the weights when runner-up over C&D early last month. Well held at York subsequently but is best excused that run having been left poorly placed. Went close over C&D last month and not well drawn latest; still vulnerable in this field.
6th	8 6th (8) (12/1 +52%) Jordan Electrics	12 12/1(+52%)	(8) Jordan Electrics 12/1, Confirmed the promise of his stable debut when landing a significant gamble at Ayr in May. Followed up in determined fashion at Hamilton 10 days later but has gone off the boil since. Two 5f wins in May; not at his best on his last two runs though and others are stronger.
7th	4 7th (4) (22/1 -214%) Never Dark	22 22/1(-214%)	(4) Never Dark 22/1, Recorded a second success of the all-weather season at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 7/2) in January. Not seen since though, so may just need the run on this return to turf. Conditions no problem & in form when last seen 7 months ago; this is a higher grade though.
8th	1 8th (1) (5.5/1 +8%) Ready Freddie Go	5.5 5.5/1(+8%)	(1) Ready Freddie Go 5.5/1, C&D winner who produced a career best when scoring from the front at Catterick in June. Lost out only to a pair of younger rivals at Doncaster since and seems likely to be on the premises again. Better than ever the last twice but ground slower than good would be a major negative.
9th	5 9th (5) (11/1 -22%) Runninwild	11 11/1(-22%)	(5) Runninwild 11/1, Failed to come on for his reappearance when only sixth of 7 in handicap at Catterick (5f, good to firm, 11/4) 63 days ago. On the plus side, he's been eased a further 2 lb. Yet to fire this season but on a dangerous mark; something to prove on slower than good.

LTO Selection:

Never Dark was a gutsy winner over 5f at Wolverhampton and he appears primed to offer another bold bid. However, having been raised 5lb in the ratings for that head success, he may be susceptible to some better treated rivals like ONLY SPOOFING. The veteran was just touched off over 5f at Bellewstown last time and a repeat of that effort would see him take the beating off just 1lb higher in the ratings. Ready Freddie Go should also be considered.

ONLY SPOOFING signalled he's ready to strike again soon when runner-up at Bellewstown last month, so he's selected to land this race for a second year running. Resilience went pretty close over C&D on his penultimate start and is better judged on that form having been left poorly placed when well held at York last time. Ready Freddie Go arrives at the top of his game and completes the shortlist.

Last year's winner ONLY SPOOFING (nap) ran well at Bellewstown last time and can enhance his fine record over C&D.

1	7 1st (7) (4.5/1 +25%) Canoodled	4.5 4.5/1(+25%)	(7) Canoodled 4.5/1, Hold-up performer who won on the Rowley course here on final 2022 start. Just one creditable effort this term and needs everything to drop right. Hasn't looked well handicapped since winning at Newmarket last backend.
2	10 2nd (10) (4/1 -45%) Outrun The Storm	4 4/1(-45%)	(10) Outrun The Storm 4/1, 7/2, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at this C&D (good) 14 days ago, just holding on. Remains fairly treated on old form and should go well again. Front two were clear here last time; up 4lb but had got himself well handicapped.
3	2 3rd (2) (14/1 +13%) Maxi Boy	14 14/1(+13%)	(2) Maxi Boy 14/1, Off 21 months, shaped as if retaining ability when 2¾ lengths fourth of 8 to Amber Island in handicap at Leicester on return but went backwards from that over C&D 3 weeks ago. Needs cheekpieces to have a positive effect. Struggled at the July festival; has the form to feature but wouldn't want much rain.
4	3 4th (3) (25/1 -56%) Priscilla's Wish	25 25/1(-56%)	(3) Priscilla's Wish 25/1, Back on the up to gain her seventh course success at Yarmouth in June but has run poorly on a couple of visits to this track since, so others make more appeal. Multiple winner but has continued her modest record at Newmarket the last twice.
5th	8 5th (8) (5/1 +17%) Ataser	5 5/1(+17%)	(8) Ataser 5/1, Scored over C&D a year ago and was back to form over 6f here last time. Well treated and step back up in trip is sure to suit, so looks a big player. Second off this good mark over 6f here latest and probably better at 7f.
6th	11 6th (11) (12/1 +14%) Dashing Dick	12 12/1(+14%)	(11) Dashing Dick 12/1, Got back on track in first-time blinkers when third of 8 in handicap at Leicester (7f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Can give another good account with the headgear retained. Hard to win with (2-34) but close third of eight at Leicester on latest start.
7th	6 7th (6) (4.5/1 +55%) Makeen	4.5 4.5/1(+55%)	(6) Makeen 4.5/1, Unlucky loser on the Rowley course earlier this year and was back on track when fourth at Beverley last time, so can make his presence felt if things drop right. Interesting on his unlucky third off this mark on the Rowley Mile in May.
8th	9 8th (9) (3.5/1 +50%) Hot Chesnut	3.5 3.5/1(+50%)	(9) Hot Chesnut 3.5/1, Going the right way lately and made it 2 from her last 3 despite starting slowly at Newbury a month ago. Should go well again if the pace is sound. Has another 4lb to contend but can be put anywhere in a race and has solid claims.
9th	4 9th (4) (16/1 -33%) Lord Rapscallion	16 16/1(-33%)	(4) Lord Rapscallion 16/1, Bagged pair of 7f Chelmsford handicaps in December and went in again in change of headgear on the Rowley course in May. Hasn't fired since, though. Fair mark but six of his last seven wins have come in some form of headgear.

LTO Selection:

A game winner over this C&D a couple of weeks ago, Outrun The Storm would be dangerous to dismiss now 4lb higher. However, the success was arguably the result of a falling handicap mark so HOT CHESNUT gets the vote. The daughter of Camacho kept on to score by a length and three-quarters at Newbury most recently and she can secure a double, despite a 4lb rise. Ataser completes the shortlist now stepping back up in distance.

ATASER was successful off a 5-lb higher mark here over C&D last season and looked right back in form when second over 6f here last time, so he's worth a chance to go one better. Hot Chesnut and Outrun The Storm both arrive in good order and the latter could be hard to peg back if he gets loose in front.

Plenty have chances in an open finale but MAKEEN was unlucky on the other course here in May and can return to form.

Hood now reached for. Missed a chunk of his career and finished last in three runs back; little to recommend him.
1	4 1st (4) (2.5/1 +44%) Shesadabber	2.5 2.5/1(+44%)	(4) Shesadabber 2.5/1, Couldn't justify support when third of 9 in handicap at Haydock (5f, soft, 7/2) 13 days ago. However, runner-up at this C&D off a 5 lb higher mark in May, so can make her presence felt back down in grade. Free-going, speedy mare who's back around her last winning mark; goes on the shortlist.
2	6 2nd (6) (6/1 +57%) Gherkin	6 6/1(+57%)	(6) Gherkin 6/1, Run best excused when fifth of 8 in handicap at Ffos Las (6f, good, 11/2) 31 days ago, snatched up over 1f out. Capable of getting involved off his current mark with the usual blinkers reapplied. Running over 6f this season; hit traffic last time and is one of the likelier winners.
3	1 3rd (1) (3.33/1 +5%) Watermelon Sugar	3.33 3.33/1(+5%)	(1) Watermelon Sugar 3.33/1, Well supported but not seen to best effect when sixth of 11 in handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good, 4/1) 23 days ago, denied clear run 2f out. Lurks on a dangerous mark if building on his latest effort. Backed last time, when hanging left throughout and meeting traffic, and is one to consider.
4	7 4th (7) (18/1 -140%) Clownsman	18 18/1(-140%)	(7) Clownsman 18/1, Not seen to best effect when fourth of 10 in handicap (15/2) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 10 days ago, never nearer after a rare poor start. Enters calculations. Has been threatening on Tapeta since his return; these conditions are an unknown, however.
5th	8 5th (8) (3.5/1 +13%) Fossos	3.5 3.5/1(+13%)	(8) Fossos 3.5/1, Back to form on his last 2 starts, scoring readily in 7-runner handicap at Chepstow (5.1f, good to soft, 9/2) a week ago. Carries penalty but he can follow up in his current mood. Only 1lb higher under the penalty; always tended to be reliable when hitting form; player.
6th	10 6th (10) (25/1 -56%) Fair And Square	25 25/1(-56%)	(10) Fair And Square 25/1, Remains a maiden after 39 Flat runs. Not in the same form as previous outing when ninth of 12 in handicap (8/1) at this C&D (good) 23 days ago. Looks to be vulnerable once more. Longstanding maiden who has any number of short-priced defeats to his name; each-way shout.
7th	11 7th (11) (22/1 -83%) Zing Up	22 22/1(-83%)	(11) Zing Up 22/1, In first-time tongue strap, denied a clear run 2f out when fifth of 14 in handicap at this course (5.7f, good) 16 days ago. However, below form on her only previous start on ground softer than good. Ex-Irish maiden who has the ability but isn't the easiest; others are more convincing.
8th	9 8th (9) (10/1 -100%) We're Reunited	10 10/1(-100%)	(9) We're Reunited 10/1, Recorded a third course success (5.7f) in May. Has made the frame here both starts since, fourth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (good, 10/1) 23 days ago. Respected. Drawn to attack; arrives in form and handles these conditions, so should go well again.
9th	12 9th (12) (28/1 -27%) Urban Jungle	28 28/1(-27%)	(12) Urban Jungle 28/1, Went the wrong way from her stable debut when ninth of 12 in minor event (66/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 16 days ago. Others preferred as she returns to handicap company. Finished well held in two runs for this yard, who also saddle We're Reunited; hood off.
10th	3 10th (3) (40/1 -43%) Outreach	40 40/1(-43%)	(3) Outreach 40/1, Hasn't managed to improve sent handicapping on his last 2 starts, well-beaten seventh of 9 at Lingfield (6f, good, 28/1) 17 days ago. Looks to be up against it. Big prices all starts to date, mainly in small fields, and hasn't achieved much.
11th	2 11th (2) (50/1 -52%) Kingsbury	50 50/1(-52%)	(2) Kingsbury 50/1, Fared no better than on his reappearance when 8¼ lengths sixth of 7 to Fossos in handicap at Chepstow (5.1f, good to soft, 80/1) a week ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere. Didn't go on last spring and has struggled in two runs back from over a year off.

LTO Selection:

Fossos went in by half a length at Chepstow last week, even though he was slow to break, so he has to be considered, but he has a 5lb penalty to contend with, which could pave the way for WATERMELON SUGAR. The four-year-old showed a bit more when sixth at Yarmouth and he has been left on the same rating. Clownsman completes the shortlist on his return to turf after his Wolverhampton fourth.

FOSSOS has returned to form with the tongue tie left off on his last 2 starts, getting back to winning ways with a ready success at Chepstow a week ago, so he could be up to defying a penalty. Shesadabber goes well on ground softer than good and is feared most back down in grade, ahead of We're Reunited.

Gherkin (second choice) has plenty in his favour, but the well-treated WATERMELON SUGAR (nap) is preferred back on slower ground.

15th	4 15th (4) (50/1 -25%) Bring Us Paradise	50 50/1(-25%)	(4) Bring Us Paradise 50/1, 8/1, ninth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (12f). Off 115 days. Others more persuasive. Below form on AW when last seen; still needs to prove he's as effective at 1m6f.
16th	12 16th (12) (25/1 +0%) True Destiny	25 25/1(+0%)	(12) True Destiny 25/1, 4/1, very good second of 15 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (24.4f, good) 46 days ago, clear of rest. Returns to this sphere on a feasible mark and the booking of Seamie Heffernan looks significant. In good form over timber of late; trip possibly on sharp side on Flat return.

LTO Selection:

BELGOPRINCE returned after a lengthy layoff this spring and struck form last month winning at Tipperary. The Tony Martin-trained gelding stayed 1m6f well when beating all bar the progressive Londonofficecallin at Killarney last time and should be suited by this step to two miles. Theonewedreamof has won under both codes on testing ground this year, including over 1m6f at Bellewstown, and has been placed on both outings since over hurdles. No Hassle is on a hat-trick but has been raised a combined 19lb for wins at Tipperary and Ballinrobe, while the consistent Sign From Above was third here on Thursday. Luminous Light and Rain are others to consider, but No Thanks needs to bounce back after disappointing here on Wednesday.

An open-looking contest in which the vote goes to THEONEWEDREAMOF, who justified support to score at Bellewstown in April and has run with credit over hurdles since. The hat-trick seeking No Hassle is an obvious danger and Belgoprince should give another good account.

It was an encouraging yard debut for DOCTOR PARNASSUS in a Down Royal maiden last week and he should progress back up in trip

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (4/1 -60%) Foreseeable Future	4 4/1(-60%)	(2) Foreseeable Future 4/1, 3 wins from 9 runs this year. 7/2, won 9-runner handicap at Thirsk (5f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Shortlist material. Three wins already this year; 2lb well in following last week's Thirsk win; contender.
2	3 2nd (3) (3/1 +10%) Borough	3 3/1(+10%)	(3) Borough 3/1, Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Ayr (5f, good, 9/2) 11 days ago, readily. Carries penalty. Can go well again. Impressive at Ayr 11 days ago; well in under a penalty; could have more to come.
3	8 3rd (8) (7.5/1 +38%) The Grey Lass	7.5 7.5/1(+38%)	(8) The Grey Lass 7.5/1, Fifth of 12 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to firm, 6/1) 30 days ago. Others more persuasive. Not quite hit last season's heights in 2023; best on good/faster so rain wouldn't be ideal.
4	6 4th (6) (7/1 +50%) Hard Nut	7 7/1(+50%)	(6) Hard Nut 7/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2019. 7/2, fifth of 6 in handicap at Ayr (5f, heavy) 4 days ago. Tumbled down the weights; eyecatching jockey booking; probably wouldn't want much rain.
5th	4 5th (4) (3.5/1 +42%) John Kirkup	3.5 3.5/1(+42%)	(4) John Kirkup 3.5/1, C&D winner. Twenty three runs since last win in 2022. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Catterick (6f, good, 3/1) 9 days ago, never nearer. One to consider. Conditions won't faze him & he's been running well this year; hard to win with now though.
6th	10 6th (10) (28/1 +0%) Koropick	28 28/1(+0%)	(10) Koropick 28/1, Two wins from 48 Flat runs. Forty one runs since last win in 2017. Seventh of 11 in handicap (25/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 10 days ago. Blinkers back on. Regressive veteran; best run this year came over C&D but still easy enough to swerve.
7th	9 7th (9) (33/1 -175%) Genevieve	33 33/1(-175%)	(9) Genevieve 33/1, Fourth of 6 in handicap (11/4) at Ayr (5f, heavy) 4 days ago. Still has time to do better but it may not be over this sharp 5f.
8th	1 8th (1) (12/1 -71%) Modular Magic	12 12/1(-71%)	(1) Modular Magic 12/1, C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. 9/1, last of 6 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good) 26 days ago. Chance if rediscovering old form. Drops in class and well handicapped; record on slow ground not inspiring though.
9th	5 9th (5) (22/1 -57%) Beneficiary	22 22/1(-57%)	(5) Beneficiary 22/1, Fourth of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 9/2). Off 91 days. Makes turf debut. Chance on his form for K Burke; less good for new yard; makes his turf debut.
10th	7 10th (7) (11/1 +21%) Hot Scoop	11 11/1(+21%)	(7) Hot Scoop 11/1, 8/1, 5½ lengths sixth of 9 to Foreseeable Future in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good to soft) 7 days ago. On a good mark and won't mind rain; stall 1 not ideal for a prominent racer though.

LTO Selection:

BOROUGH was a facile winner over 5f at Ayr recently and this looks a good opportunity to build on that success. Iain Jardine's runner scored by three and a quarter lengths on that occasion and a 6lb penalty may not be enough to stop him. Foreseeable Future is also a last time out winner after scoring over 5f at Thirsk and he isn't ruled out, while John Kirkup heads the remainder.

FORESEEABLE FUTURE resumed winning ways in straightforward fashion at Thirsk last week and this looks another good opportunity. Borough finally broke his duck at Ayr 11 days ago, but he did so in stylish fashion so is feared most under a penalty, with John Kirkup best of the others.

Foreseeable Future and BOROUGH are ahead of the handicapper and the latter can follow up his recent impressive Ayr success.

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

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

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool.

Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

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

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

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