14:20 Pontefract Handicap (Class 6) 10f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (3/1 +25%) Just Hiss	3 3/1(+25%)	(2) Just Hiss 3/1, Latest win at Newcastle in June. 13/2, creditable 1½ lengths second of 11 to Dogged in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, soft) 8 days ago, staying on well. One to consider from same mark. Has bumped into Dogged at Nottingham and Beverley last two starts; unlikely to be far away.
2	3 2nd (3) (16/1 -33%) Contrast	16 16/1(-33%)	(3) Contrast 16/1, Latest win at Carlisle in July. 10 lengths seventh of 11 to Dogged in handicap (5/1) at Beverley (9.9f, soft) 8 days ago. Needs to leave that behind if he's to figure here. None too consistent, well held on latest start; could have a say if on a going day.
3	1 3rd (1) (3.5/1 +0%) Dogged	3.5 3.5/1(+0%)	(1) Dogged 3.5/1, Well served by positive tactics, gaining third success of the campaign when making all at Beverley 8 days ago, by 1½ lengths from Just Hiss. May face some pressure on the front end here but he's clearly thriving at present and not dismissed. Game front-runner, recent winner at Nottingham and Beverley; should go well again.
4	6 4th (6) (3/1 -36%) Dandy's Angel	3 3/1(-36%)	(6) Dandy's Angel 3/1, Comes here in excellent form, following up her Carlisle success last month with another narrow victory at Beverley (10f, soft) 16 days ago. Well worth considering in hat-trick bid from 3 lb higher mark. Back-to-back successes at Carlisle and Beverley in July; high on the list again.
5th	9 5th (9) (28/1 +30%) Toscan Genius	28 28/1(+30%)	(9) Toscan Genius 28/1, Modest maiden who ran well below best when well held in a Leicester seller (11.8f, soft) back in May 2021. Missed whole of 2022 and the betting is likely to prove a useful guide on this belated return for his new stable. 0-6 for Ivan Furtado, unplaced all starts; worth a market check on debut for Brian Ellison.
6th	5 6th (5) (6/1 +25%) The New Marwan	6 6/1(+25%)	(5) The New Marwan 6/1, Eased in weights and duly capitalised to score at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 15 days ago, notably travelling well. Equally as effective on turf so not out of things nudged up 2 lb. Down in weights before Wolverhampton win under Eireann Cagney; capable of another big run.
7th	8 7th (8) (33/1 -106%) Thomas Cranmer	33 33/1(-106%)	(8) Thomas Cranmer 33/1, Losing run stretches back to 2018 but in the mix for a long way (following 10 months off) when sixth in 7-runner Newcastle handicap (10.2f) in May. Eased 2 lb but he's been absent again since. Most recent win was in 2018; down in weights but others have more obvious claims.
8th	4 8th (4) (5/1 +38%) Defence Treaty	5 5/1(+38%)	(4) Defence Treaty 5/1, Ended losing run with plenty in hand at Southwell (11.1f) in February and quickly back to that level when third returned to that venue (12f) in April. Unseated start at Doncaster later that month but unlikely to be lacking for fitness returning from a break. Ended losing run at Southwell in February; hard to predict but well treated on best form.

LTO Selection:

There has been no stopping the hat-trick seeking DOGGED of late and a 5lb penalty for his most recent success looks unlikely to stop Rebecca Menzies' inmate from adding to his win tally. He kept on to score by a length and a half at Beverley earlier this month and is fancied to get the better of the reopposing Just Hiss, who finished in second behind the selection that day and is 5lb better off with that rival here. Dandy's Angel was a game winner on her latest outing and is another to consider on her hat-trick bid off a 3lb raised mark.

DANDY'S ANGEL arrives in tremendous heart, bagging her third success of the campaign over this sort of trip at Beverley 16 days ago and having gone well at this venue previously (runner-up in this race 12 months ago) she could well be the answer. Just Hiss finished off well when runner-up to re-opposing Dogged at Beverley last week and that pair can feature again. Wolverhampton scorer The New Marwan completes the shortlist.

In an interesting race, the reliable mare DANDY'S ANGEL gets the verdict over fellow hat-trick seeker Dogged.

14:40 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 6f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (5/1 +0%) Jenever	5 5/1(+0%)	(3) Jenever 5/1, Latest win at Wetherby in June. 7/1, good second of 15 in handicap at Doncaster (5.6f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Needs considering. Progressive; rising in weights since winning at Wetherby (5.5f) in June; top of the list.
2	1 2nd (1) (4/1 +27%) Symbol Of Hope	4 4/1(+27%)	(1) Symbol Of Hope 4/1, 5-time course winner who posted a good second of 9 in handicap (7/1) at this C&D (good) 5 days ago. Expected to be bang there eased 1 lb. Five course wins (5f-5.5f); forced pace & weakened late when runner-up over C&D last week..
3	10 3rd (10) (9/1 +25%) Oriental Spirit	9 9/1(+25%)	(10) Oriental Spirit 9/1, Respectable sixth of 10 in handicap (14/1) at Salisbury (6f, good) 11 days ago. One for the shortlist. Sole win on AW at Kempton (6f); hasn't enjoyed much in-running luck on last two starts..
4	16 4th (16) (6.5/1 +13%) The Cola Kid	6.5 6.5/1(+13%)	(16) The Cola Kid 6.5/1, Latest win at Ffos Las in July. 2/1, creditable second of 10 in handicap at this C&D (good) 14 days ago, nearest finish. In the mix once more. Hasn't much to find with C&D conqueror Autumn Angel; seems to go well for Connor Planas..
5th	12 5th (12) (12/1 +64%) Pepsi Cat	12 12/1(+64%)	(12) Pepsi Cat 12/1, Last of 5 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, firm, 6/1) 63 days ago. Others appeal more. Weakened tamely on Nottingham comeback from four months off but is 3lb lower as a result..
6th	2 6th (2) (6/1 -20%) Delagate This Lord	6 6/1(-20%)	(2) Delagate This Lord 6/1, 5-time C&D winner. 9/2, much improved when winning 11-runner handicap at this C&D (good) 14 days ago. Up 5 lb but holds good claims in his hat-trick bid. Seven course wins (5f-5.5f); seeking hat-trick following recent C&D wins; good claimer up..
7th	6 7th (6) (4.5/1 +25%) Autumn Angel	4.5 4.5/1(+25%)	(6) Autumn Angel 4.5/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in July. Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap (9/2) at this C&D (good) 5 days ago, not clear run. Can give another good account. Narrow C&D winner (from 2lb lower) penultimate start; fair fifth here since; a possible..
8th	8 8th (8) (16/1 +0%) Brian The Snail	16 16/1(+0%)	(8) Brian The Snail 16/1, Latest win at Ripon in June. Creditable third of 12 in handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, good, 8/1) 32 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. Won at Ripon in June (5f; from 5lb lower); back in the mix at Carlisle (6f) last month..
9th	9 9th (9) (22/1 -144%) Swiss Pride	22 22/1(-144%)	(9) Swiss Pride 22/1, 3/1, won 11-runner handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 48 days ago, driven clear. Not taken lightly off a 4 lb lower mark back on turf. AW regular (with nine wins); yet to win on turf (0-18) but is feasibly handicapped..
10th	15 10th (15) (10/1 +17%) Bluebell Time	10 10/1(+17%)	(15) Bluebell Time 10/1, C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (good, 11/2) 14 days ago, never nearer. Merits consideration. Dual course winner (5f-5.5f); easing in weights; not without a chance under S Osborne..
11th	14 11th (14) (80/1 -100%) Princely	80 80/1(-100%)	(14) Princely 80/1, C&D winner. First run since leaving Roger Teal when last of 14 to Autumn Angel in handicap at this C&D (good, 40/1) 21 days ago. Lots more is required. Hasn't seen much action in recent years; looked in need of his recent C&D comeback run..
12th	5 12th (5) (40/1 -21%) Street Life	40 40/1(-21%)	(5) Street Life 40/1, Latest win at Catterick in June. 40/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, good) 32 days ago so needs to bounce back. Underwhelming since winning an ordinary 5f apprentices' handicap at Catterick in June..

LTO Selection:

A change of scenery appears to have worked wonders for DELAGATE THIS LORD, who recorded a second success in as many starts for the Robyn Brisland team over C&D a fortnight ago. He remains well treated from 5lb higher and is fancied to continue his fine run, though multiple course winner Symbol of Hope ought to provide a stern challenge. Others to note include Jenever, Brian The Snail and Autumn Angel.

A case can be made for lots of these but the most persuasive one is for SYMBOL OF HOPE who got back on the up when runner-up over C&D only five days ago and can boast multiple wins round here. Fellow course specialist Delagate This Lord rates the obvious threat in his bid for a hat-trick with Jenever, Autumn Angel and Bluebell Time all in the picture too.

Many of the in-form horses are drawn wide. The Cola Kid is a probable contender but preference is for the progressive JENEVER.

14:40 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:50 Pontefract Maiden (Class 4) 6f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (0.5/1 +73%) Royal Zabeel	0.5 0.5/1(+73%)	(5) Royal Zabeel 0.5/1, Mastercraftsman colt. Dam, French 6.5f winner, half-sister to US Grade 2 9f winner Last Samurai out of useful 8.5f minor US stakes winner Lady Samuri. 15/2, green but offered something to work on in C&D novice last month. Open to improvement and one to note under Ryan Moore. Better than result suggests when seventh of 12 over C&D on debut; could improve markedly.
2	1 2nd (1) (4.5/1 +36%) Bay Of Australia	4.5 4.5/1(+36%)	(1) Bay Of Australia 4.5/1, Modest form in a couple of sprint novice events, not looking anywhere near as professional as first time up 3 weeks ago. Work to do. No improvement on debut form when fourth at Carlisle but this return to 6f should help.
3	8 3rd (8) (16/1 +68%) This Years Love	16 16/1(+68%)	(8) This Years Love 16/1, 17,000 gns yearling, resold 21,000 gns yearling, Havana Gold gelding. Dam 1m/8.3f winner. Likely to need this initial experience. 21,000gns yearling from in-form yard; worth a market check on debut.
4	6 4th (6) (6/1 +40%) Sweet Soul Music	6 6/1(+40%)	(6) Sweet Soul Music 6/1, €70,000 yearling, out of an unraced half-sister to useful multiple 5f winner Iffranesia. 40/1 but showed plenty to work on in 5f Beverley maiden 16 days ago, very green and nearest finish. Sure to progress. Too green to do himself justice on debut, but made good late headway; high on the list.
5th	7 5th (7) (40/1 +20%) The Man From Loule	40 40/1(+20%)	(7) The Man From Loule 40/1, Twilight Son gelding. Closely related to 5f winner Kinloch Pride and half-brother to 3 winners, including 5f winner Pavers Pride and 7f winner The Name's Paver. Makes some appeal on paper. Related to several 5f winners; stable 0-15 with juveniles this season.
6th	9 6th (9) (11/1 +45%) Alice's Impact	11 11/1(+45%)	(9) Alice's Impact 11/1, Massaat filly. Sister to 2-y-o 6f winner Hectic and half-sister to 3 winners, including 1¼m winner Parawell and 7f winner Sophie B. Bred to have plenty of speed and starts out with yard going well. Newcomer; plausible pedigree for a race of this nature and her stable is in excellent form.
7th	2 7th (2) (125/1 -25%) Clerys Clock	125 125/1(-25%)	(2) Clerys Clock 125/1, No show in 2 events. Blinkers on back from a break. Never a threat in two runs so far; needs blinkers to have a transformative effect.
8th	3 8th (3) (80/1 -21%) Military Micki	80 80/1(-21%)	(3) Military Micki 80/1, Oasis Dream colt. Closely related to useful 7f-8.6f winner Calvados Spirit and half-brother to several winners, including winner up to 1¼m Hoodwinker. 80/1, tongue tied and offered little in 6f Nottingham maiden on debut last month. Tailed off in warm race on debut; this is weaker but he needs a major step forward.

LTO Selection:

RAINWATER made a promising start to his racing career when filling the runner-up spot over this trip at Haydock on Sunday. He is related to a few smart types, including Group 2-placed Ventura Rebel, and he likely has more to offer with that in mind. Royal Zabeel should not be taken lightly in the hands of Ryan Moore, even though he disappointed slightly on his debut over C&D last month. Bay Of Australia is another to bear in mind.

This is a quick turnaround for RAINWATER but there was stacks of promise in his first run at Haydock on Sunday when he was heavily backed and he's hard to get away from. Royal Zabeel is very interesting with Ryan Moore up after showing a fair bit on debut here last month. Sweet Soul Music and newcomer Alice's Impact are respected also.

With a leap forward anticipated, ROYAL ZABEEL gets the vote ahead of Bay Of Australia and Sweet Soul Music.

15:00 Brighton Handicap (Class 4) 5f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (5.5/1 +61%) Faustus	5.5 5.5/1(+61%)	(4) Faustus 5.5/1, Runner-up in the mud at Windsor (5f) in May. Ran poorly there the following week but back on track when 2 lengths sixth of 11 at Yarmouth (5f) 2 months later, no extra only late on. Somewhat unreliable now but ran well in valuable race last month; a possible.
2	2 2nd (2) (2.25/1 -13%) Swift Asset	2.25 2.25/1(-13%)	(2) Swift Asset 2.25/1, Built on Goodwood second when going one better at Bath (5.7f) last month. Had a bit in hand and a 4 lb rise looks fair. Likely to go well. Back in good form this summer and probably still on workable mark after Bath win.
3	6 3rd (6) (14/1 +13%) Bezzas Lad	14 14/1(+13%)	(6) Bezzas Lad 14/1, Latest win at Lingfield in March. Creditable second at Chester (6f, good) in June but not in the same form back there 3 weeks later. One of 3 runners from his stable. Didn't fire last time but was creditable second from awkward draw at Chester two runs ago.
4	9 4th (9) (14/1 +44%) Batchelor Boy	14 14/1(+44%)	(9) Batchelor Boy 14/1, Turned in his best effort for some time refitted with blinkers when second over C&D (soft) in June. Followed that with a poor run at Nottingham so his hopes are pinned on a return to this venue sparking a revival. Ran big race in defeat over C&D two starts ago and remains well handicapped.
5th	7 5th (7) (8.5/1 -70%) Song Of Success	8.5 8.5/1(-70%)	(7) Song Of Success 8.5/1, Best effort for new yard when length third of 6 at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) 39 days ago. Return to slightly further could suit. Looks to be building up to something. Suited by drop back to 5f when close third at Yarmouth last month; same mark again here.
6th	3 6th (3) (22/1 -57%) Pop Dancer	22 22/1(-57%)	(3) Pop Dancer 22/1, C&D winner. Some respectable efforts on AW earlier in the year but his peak fitness has to be on trust after 155 days off. Won three in a row last autumn but has fitness to prove after five-month break.
7th	8 7th (8) (40/1 -43%) Cinque Verde	40 40/1(-43%)	(8) Cinque Verde 40/1, Successful in first-time blinkers at Wolverhampton (5f) in June but the headgear didn't have the same effect when last of 6 at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm) 37 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Karl Burke. AW winner in June; sold out of Karl Burke's for 5,000gns after lesser effort on turf.
8th	5 8th (5) (11/1 +0%) The Defiant	11 11/1(+0%)	(5) The Defiant 11/1, Took advantage of a drop in grade when winning 9-runner handicap Chelmsford handicap in June. Comfortably held in a Class 3 there since but this more his level. Has better strike-rate on AW but ran well in valuable Epsom handicap on Derby Day.
9th	1 9th (1) (2/1 +0%) Crow's Nest	2 2/1(+0%)	(1) Crow's Nest 2/1, Won 2 sprint novice events in June and unlucky not to finish closer when third on 6f Newmarket handicap debut 6 weeks ago, keeping on when hampered final 100 yds. Stands out taking on more exposed opposition. Dual novice winner in June; drops back in trip after good third on handicap debut (6f).

LTO Selection:

CROW'S NEST seemed to find the sixth furlong a step too far when third at Newmarket at the end of June. As he races off the same mark here over this shorter trip, George Boughey's gelding has every chance of getting back to winnings ways. Swift Asset looked as if he had something in hand when winning at Bath and he could go well, despite an added 4lb from the handicapper, leaving Song Of Success as best of the rest.

The two 3-y-os at the top of the weights may dominate this, with the lightly raced CROW'S NEST, who was unlucky not to finish closer on his Newmarket handicap debut, narrowly preferred to last month's Bath scorer Swift Asset. Song of Success has got a bit better with each start for new trainer James Fanshawe and may prove best of the remainder.

Dual novice winner CROW'S NEST ran well over 6f on his handicap debut in June and might be seen to even better effect over this trip.

15:10 Bath Maiden (Class 5) 6f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (0.11/1 +45%) Bussento	0.11 0.11/1(+45%)	(3) Bussento 0.11/1, Fairly useful gelding who ran up to best when second of 10 in handicap at Haydock (7f) 2 starts back. Not in same form at Ascot since but this rates a good opportunity for him to get off the mark. Has some useful form and this looks a golden opportunity back in a maiden; has been gelded.
2	5 2nd (5) (14/1 -17%) Back Tomorrow	14 14/1(-17%)	(5) Back Tomorrow 14/1, Rajasinghe filly. Half-sister to winner up to 1m Blue Collar Lad. Dam maiden (stayed 7f). One to note in the betting for clues on debut. Yard 17% in 3yo maidens in recent years and she needs a market check on debut.
3	4 3rd (4) (25/1 -127%) Mma Ramotswe	25 25/1(-127%)	(4) Mma Ramotswe 25/1, Once-raced filly. Attracted support but ultimately offered little when last of 7 in maiden at Southwell (6.1f, 3/1) in January, slowly away and always behind. Absent since and this ought to reveal a good deal more. Well backed on her Southwell debut in January but she finished a tailed-off last of seven.
4	7 4th (7) (33/1 +18%) Lady Gazelle	33 33/1(+18%)	(7) Lady Gazelle 33/1, Twice-raced filly. Seventh of 8 in minor event at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 28/1). Off 145 days. Hooded for 1st time but she rates a likely type for low-grade handicaps further down the line. Well-held seventh in two AW runs in March and has stacks to find on this switch to turf.
5th	1 5th (1) (11/1 +8%) Hoornblower	11 11/1(+8%)	(1) Hoornblower 11/1, Fair form on first 3 starts on AW but has gone the wrong way since, not looking at all straightforward when last of 10 in maiden at this course (1m) 4 weeks ago. Takes a marked step back in trip now. Showed early promise but he's lost his way and has plenty to prove on this drop to 5f.
6th	2 6th (2) (80/1 -100%) Sir Sidney Smith	80 80/1(-100%)	(2) Sir Sidney Smith 80/1, Bated Breath gelding. Dam winner up to 6f. Likely he'll be better for the run. Withdrawn after getting upset in stalls at Doncaster last month and was 22-1 at the time..

LTO Selection:

This ought to be a penalty kick for the Eve Johnson Houghton-trained BUSSENTO, who sets a clear standard on official ratings. He has been running extremely well in some warm handicaps of late, most recently in a 0-85 at Ascot, and it would be a little disappointing were he to not record a first career success now back in maiden company. Hoornblower is rated 12lb inferior but he is the most likely challenger, while Back Tomorrow heads the remainder.

This looks an excellent opportunity for BUSSENTO, who has shown more than enough in 3-y-o handicaps to think a race of this nature is within reach. Newcomer Back Tomorrow and Hoornblower can do battle for minor honours.

This looks a golden opportunity for BUSSENTO, who sets a useful standard back in a maiden and should be unfazed by this drop in trip.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (6/1 +29%) Ajwadi	6 6/1(+29%)	(1) Ajwadi 6/1, Fair form when fifth in novices at Carlisle (6f, good to soft) and Haydock 7f, soft) in recent months. Faded in the closing stages at the latter venue so this drop back to 6f may help. Improved a bit on second start; this drop back to 6f may suit; in the mix.
2	6 2nd (6) (18/1 -13%) Saint Matthew	18 18/1(-13%)	(6) Saint Matthew 18/1, Foaled January 31. Caravaggio colt. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner (stayed 7f). Newcomer from a top yard who needs monitoring in the betting. Newcomer by Caravaggio; has to be respected, especially if strong in the market.
3	3 3rd (3) (1.25/1 +23%) Classy Boy	1.25 1.25/1(+23%)	(3) Classy Boy 1.25/1, 17/2, promise when third of 12 in maiden at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) on debut 27 days ago. Open to progress for his in-form leading stable. Bred for 1m+ but shaped nicely when third in 6f maiden at Doncaster; high on the list.
4	5 4th (5) (1.38/1 -52%) Point Given	1.38 1.38/1(-52%)	(5) Point Given 1.38/1, Highly promising sort. 8/1, shaped very well when fourth of 12 in maiden at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) on debut 27 days ago, not knocked about. The one to beat. Got the hang of things late on when fourth at Doncaster; improvement likely; big shout.
5th	2 5th (2) (18/1 +73%) Bust A Move	18 18/1(+73%)	(2) Bust A Move 18/1, 20,000 gns Ribchester gelding. Dam, placed at 7.5f-9f in France, half-sister to useful 10.5f winner Real Value out of useful maiden Rosey de Megeve. Watching brief advised on debut unless the betting strongly hints otherwise. By Ribchester; would need to be well above average to make winning debut.
6th	9 6th (9) (28/1 +15%) Polly The Rocket	28 28/1(+15%)	(9) Polly The Rocket 28/1, Twice-raced filly. Third on C&D debut but went backwards from that when sixth of 11 at York (7f, good, 14/1) 12 days ago. Went backwards from debut when only sixth at York the following week; others appeal more.
7th	7 7th (7) (66/1 -100%) Uwaittillplaytime	66 66/1(-100%)	(7) Uwaittillplaytime 66/1, £25,000 Kuroshio gelding. Brother to 2-y-o 5f winner Dontspoilasale and half-brother to 7f winner Lecale's Destiny. Dam 7f winner. Yard can ready one so worth a precautionary betting check. £25,000 breeze-up buy; yard yet to have a 2yo winner this year.
8th	4 8th (4) (100/1 -257%) Northern Cracksman	100 100/1(-257%)	(4) Northern Cracksman 100/1, Foaled April 27. Cracksman colt. Dam, 6f winner, half-sister to smart 7f-1m winner Raadobarg. Betting should help guide to expectations. Plausible pedigree for a race like this and well worth a market check.
9th	8 9th (8) (150/1 -50%) Emilshaan	150 150/1(-50%)	(8) Emilshaan 150/1, Twice-raced filly. 80/1, sixth of 9 in novice at Haydock (6f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Pulled hard on debut and ran green on second start, achieving little in terms of form.

LTO Selection:

POINT GIVEN finished a pleasing fourth at Doncaster on his racecourse bow last month and Sir Michael Stoute's charge must hold every chance of building on that here. A half-brother to the Group 1-winning two-year-old Toormore, he has scope for plenty of improvement and can get the better of Classy Boy, who finished a fair third on his debut. The unraced Bust A Move also warrants a market check.

There was a lot to like about POINT GIVEN's debut effort at Doncaster and he should take a bit of stopping under Ryan Moore. Classy Boy also arrives on the back of a promising opening run at the same meeting at Doncaster and is second choice ahead of Ajwadi, who may benefit from the drop back to 6f.

Promising once-raced colts POINT GIVEN and Classy Boy shaped well at Doncaster and preference for the former is only narrow.

1	4 1st (4) (11/1 +8%) Phoenix Glow	11 11/1(+8%)	(4) Phoenix Glow 11/1, Winner at Chelmsford (6f) in February and matched that form when runner-up at Lingfield (7f, AW) in April. Exploits on turf subsequently have been disappointing however, well held last of 5 at Chepstow (7f) 12 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Well handicapped on AW form from early part of the year but yet to be placed on turf.
2	2 2nd (2) (0.73/1 +64%) Annie Law	0.73 0.73/1(+64%)	(2) Annie Law 0.73/1, Latest win at Doncaster (6f) in June and matched that level when second of 10 in handicap at Leicester (6f, good to firm) 32 days ago, beaten only by one who took a sizeable step forward. Possibilities returned to class 6 company. Consistent filly who backed up her narrow win in June with a second last month; respected.
3	5 3rd (5) (9/1 +25%) Mine That Ship	9 9/1(+25%)	(5) Mine That Ship 9/1, 22/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Ffos Las (6f, heavy) 9 days ago, off the bridle before most and making no impression. Cheekpieces reached for now. Made the frame in her second handicap but sound beaten twice since; cheekpieces now added.
4	3 4th (3) (2.5/1 +25%) Imperiousity	2.5 2.5/1(+25%)	(3) Imperiousity 2.5/1, Winner at Lingfield in May. Creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Salisbury (5f, good, 15/2) 11 days ago, challenging final 1f and staying on. Cheekpieces refitted and fancied to feature back up in trip. Has held form well since 5f AW win in May and was second over C&D last month.
5th	6 5th (6) (12/1 +57%) King Elvis	12 12/1(+57%)	(6) King Elvis 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1, eighth of 15 in minor event at Leicester (6f, good) 20 days ago, beaten final 1f. More needed if he's to threaten on handicap debut. Safely held in basement-grade classified last month; needs to find extra on handicap debut.

LTO Selection:

Annie Law could prove popular after her Doncaster win was followed by a second at Leicester and she could go well on her return to this grade. However, IMPERIOUSITY was only beaten just over a length at Salisbury last time and that form gives him a big chance. Phoenix Glow is intriguing dropping back in trip and with Rose Dawes claiming 5lb she might also get involved.

MOULIN BOOJ confirmed the promise of his previous run and ultimately won with a good deal to spare at Wolverhampton 5 days ago. He's selected under a penalty if taking up this engagement (due to run at Ffos Las Tuesday). Annie Law and Imperiousity can give the selection most to think about.

There may still be more to come from ANNIE LAW, who pipped a next-time-out winner two starts ago and bumped into an improver last time.

1	2 1st (2) (2.5/1 +9%) Pinpoint	2.5 2.5/1(+9%)	(2) Pinpoint 2.5/1, Showed slightly more when seventh of 10 in maiden at Chepstow (7.1f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Back down in trip for nursery debut. Unexposed colt and he looks a possible improver dropped to this trip on nursery debut.
2	1 2nd (1) (9/1 -100%) Zaphea	9 9/1(-100%)	(1) Zaphea 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1, respectable third of 7 in nursery at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) 5 days ago. Looks ready for 6f. Has a mixed record and she's been well held in both nurseries; needs improvement.
3	5 3rd (5) (4/1 +27%) Manali	4 4/1(+27%)	(5) Manali 4/1, Respectable third of 7 in nursery at this C&D (good, 20/1) 21 days ago. Eased 2 lb and she should be a factor. Promising third behind an improver over C&D on her nursery debut; interesting contender.
4	8 4th (8) (12/1 +40%) Birkie Boy	12 12/1(+40%)	(8) Birkie Boy 12/1, Failed to improve for the switch to handicaps when sixth of 9 in nursery at Beverley (7.4f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Poor form when well held in all four runs and others are preferred.
5th	9 5th (9) (6/1 +70%) Perelle	6 6/1(+70%)	(9) Perelle 6/1, Tongue strap on for first time, tenth of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 44 days ago. Makes handicap debut after wind op and needs to take a leap forward, even from this basement mark. Goes handicapping after wind surgery but she needs to show a lot more back on turf.
6th	3 6th (3) (9/1 -38%) Flemish	9 9/1(-38%)	(3) Flemish 9/1, Dam has produced several winners but little to shout about in her qualifying runs, eleventh of 12 in maiden at Newbury (6f, good) 19 days ago. Hood on first time for nursery bow. Could be worth chancing. Still early days but she needs a transformation dropped to 5f on nursery debut; hood added.
7th	4 7th (4) (5.5/1 +15%) Mist Of Lir	5.5 5.5/1(+15%)	(4) Mist Of Lir 5.5/1, 25/1, respectable fourth of 10 in nursery at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Back down in trip and limit looks pretty well established. Has not finished closer than 4l to a winner in his seven starts; needs more back at 5f.
8th	7 8th (7) (22/1 -10%) Coastal Sunrise	22 22/1(-10%)	(7) Coastal Sunrise 22/1, Too free to last out when seventh of 9 in nursery (25/1) at Nottingham (6.1f, soft) 22 days ago. Drops in trip. Best RPR of 32 so far and she needs to do much better on this drop back to 5f.
9th	6 9th (6) (14/1 -115%) Equiart	14 14/1(-115%)	(6) Equiart 14/1, 22/1, sixth of 10 in seller at Leicester (6f, good to firm) 32 days ago. Makes handicap debut. One to consider. Down the field in all four runs, including a seller; needs progress on her nursery debut.

LTO Selection:

Having been well held at big prices in her three qualifying runs, FLEMISH gets the nod as she's fitted with a first-time hood for this nursery debut. Tom Ward's Awtaad filly is related to a host of winners, perhaps most notably Group 1 scorer G Force, and this does not look an overly competitive race in which to open her account. Eased 2lb following a respectable C&D third last month, Manali is feared most, while Zaphea completes the shortlist.

Hard to make a compelling case for any of these but FLEMISH is out of a dam who has produced numerous winners, so she gets the tentative vote to step forward now handicapping. Manali and Equiart are a couple of potential threats.

This looks tricky but it might be worth siding with PINPOINT, who looks a possible improver dropped to 5f on his nursery debut.

1	5 1st (5) (2.5/1 +38%) Yorkindness	2.5 2.5/1(+38%)	(5) Yorkindness 2.5/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in June. Seventh of 10 in handicap at York (16.2f, good, 9/1) 11 days ago. Needs to settle better if she's to get back to form. In and out but a clearcut C&D winner in June on her only previous run at Pontefract.
2	3 2nd (3) (7/1 -40%) El Borracho	7 7/1(-40%)	(3) El Borracho 7/1, Latest win at Thirsk in May. 11/2, shaped as if still in form when fifth of 7 in handicap at Chester (15.9f, good) 39 days ago. Yet to prove himself over this far but he's a player if he gets home. Multiple jumps scorer; won Flat at Thirsk in May; below par last time but not discounted.
3	2 3rd (2) (2.75/1 -10%) Carrigillihy	2.75 2.75/1(-10%)	(2) Carrigillihy 2.75/1, 5-time course winner. Latest win here in July. Fifth of 7 in handicap (5/1) at Haydock (14f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Up in trip. Has to be taken seriously. 5-7 at Pontefract, latest win (1m4f) in June; will probably stay this far; solid contender.
4	4 4th (4) (4/1 +43%) Ashington	4 4/1(+43%)	(4) Ashington 4/1, Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle (10/1) at Cartmel (17.2f, heavy) 18 days ago, running on late. Up in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Potentially well treated in this sphere but trip is an unknown. Unplaced in eight Flat runs since 2018 but he has fallen a long way in the weights.
5th	6 5th (6) (14/1 -40%) Flint Hill	14 14/1(-40%)	(6) Flint Hill 14/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Catterick in May. 17/2, last of 7 in handicap at this course (18f, good) 45 days ago. Could get back on track after a short break. Three wins and three seconds here but needs to get back on track after two subdued efforts.
6th	8 6th (8) (20/1 -122%) Ironopolis	20 20/1(-122%)	(8) Ironopolis 20/1, Winner at Southwell in April. 80/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (16.2f) 39 days ago. Has work to do. Lightly raced 3yo; tough task last time; unexposed over staying trips.
7th	7 7th (7) (12/1 -60%) Giovanni Change	12 12/1(-60%)	(7) Giovanni Change 12/1, Scored here in April but below form next time. Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (23.3f, good, 15/2) 38 days ago. Might well bounce back, particularly if allowed his own way in front. 2m5f winner here in the spring; has had a break since poor hurdles run; not ruled out.
8th	1 8th (1) (16/1 -45%) Champagne City	16 16/1(-45%)	(1) Champagne City 16/1, Latest win here in April. Sixth of 7 in handicap at this course (18f, good, 18/1) 45 days ago. Not ruled out back from a short break. Veteran; made all here in April but disappointing since and needs to bounce back.

LTO Selection:

EL BORRACHO would still appear to be feasibly treated judged on what he has achieved over jumps, and the gelded son of Society Rock shades preference in a fairly open contest. He was a well-beaten fifth at Chester last month, but that doesn't tell the whole story as he was denied a clear run for a prolonged period approaching the home bend. Yorkindness might be best placed to follow him home, while Champagne City rounds off the shortlist.

Several course winners in the field but none are more suited to it than CARRIGILLIHY, who has a big chance of adding a sixth win here if his stamina lasts out up in trip. Giovanni Change is a big danger if he gets a soft lead and El Borracho can't be ruled out.

Carrigillihy loves it here but the suggestion is YORKINDNESS who returns to the scene of her most impressive performance to date.

1	1 1st (1) (10/1 +17%) Global Style	10 10/1(+17%)	(1) Global Style 10/1, Modest gelding. Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 7/1, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Two wins from 58 Flat runs, though. Has very modest strike-rate but was second in very similar race to this over C&D in June.
2	2 2nd (2) (8/1 +20%) Junoesque	8 8/1(+20%)	(2) Junoesque 8/1, Modest mare. 4-time C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Tongue strap on for 1st time, fourth of 5 in handicap (20/1) at this course (11.9f, firm) 61 days ago. Every chance if back to best. Multiple course winner but out of form since encouraging seasonal debut in April.
3	10 3rd (10) (2.5/1 +29%) Daisy Roots	2.5 2.5/1(+29%)	(10) Daisy Roots 2.5/1, Posted a career best when winning 11-runner minor event at Ffos Las (8f, heavy, 3/1) 9 days ago. Up in trip and one for the shortlist. Fought hard for win in this grade at Ffos Las last week; 6lb penalty makes things tougher.
4	8 4th (8) (5/1 -25%) Temur Khan	5 5/1(-25%)	(8) Temur Khan 5/1, Course winner. 20/1, creditable third of 9 in handicap at Bath (11.6f, good to firm) 35 days ago. Can give another good account. Better over 1m4f but was back in good form last month and has very good record here.
5th	4 5th (4) (3.5/1 +42%) Magical Dragon	3.5 3.5/1(+42%)	(4) Magical Dragon 3.5/1, Modest gelding. One win from 27 Flat runs. 10/3, respectable third of 10 in handicap at Salisbury (8f, good) 11 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Back up in trip and can't be ruled out. Placed in recent 1m handicap and seems better suited by this trip nowadays; a player.
6th	5 6th (5) (6/1 -33%) Naadyaa	6 6/1(-33%)	(5) Naadyaa 6/1, Remains a maiden after 21 Flat runs. Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, good to firm, 2/1) 14 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Not taken lightly at these weights. A maiden after 21 starts but placed twice over 1m2f in this grade last month.
7th	9 7th (9) (40/1 -21%) Volenti	40 40/1(-21%)	(9) Volenti 40/1, Modest gelding. 50/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy) 19 days ago. Others more persuasive. Second in this grade on AW in January but well beaten on both starts for new stable.
8th	6 8th (6) (7.5/1 -67%) No Such Luck	7.5 7.5/1(-67%)	(6) No Such Luck 7.5/1, Modest gelding. Good Windsor fourth in May and best forgiven his sixth in minor event at Lingfield (7.6f, good to firm) following month having reared leaving stalls. Significantly back up in trip. Player at these weights. No real threat after awkward start last time but handicap fourth in May makes him a player.
9th	3 9th (3) (66/1 -65%) Last Roar	66 66/1(-65%)	(3) Last Roar 66/1, 28/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at this course (8f, soft) 50 days ago, slowly away. Back up in trip with work to do. Unplaced all eight starts, most recently when sixth of seven off basement handicap mark.
10th	7 10th (7) (125/1 -150%) Run At Dawn	125 125/1(-150%)	(7) Run At Dawn 125/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. 125/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, last of 11 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, good) 28 days ago. Visored for 1st time. Tailed off when 125-1 for last month's handicap debut; visor tried today.

LTO Selection:

Junoesque has won here eight times and, although yet to peak this season, she could go well at a track that she clearly loves. Naadyaa is another with place possibilities and she is more consistent than most of these, but a chance is taken on MAGICAL DRAGON. The return to this trip is interesting, as is the booking of Kevin Stott, and the six-year-old could make his mark at this level.

NO SUCH LUCK didn't enjoy the rub of the green when sixth at Lingfield last time out and is the pick at these weights so edges the vote in a trappy classified event. Course winner Temur Khan could emerge as the main danger, although both Magical Dragon and Daisy Roots command plenty of respect too.

Patrick Chamings' MAGICAL DRAGON was placed in a recent 1m handicap and today's longer trip may enable him to end a losing streak.

1	8 1st (8) (4.5/1 +25%) Lhebayeb	4.5 4.5/1(+25%)	(8) Lhebayeb 4.5/1, Remains a maiden after 22 Flat runs but has run well to be placed on 5 of her 6 outings this term, the latest when third over 1¼m here with a tongue tie added 28 days ago. Likely to be in the shake-up again. Longstanding maiden (0-22) but she's been placed in five of her last six starts.
2	4 2nd (4) (4/1 +0%) Nevendon	4 4/1(+0%)	(4) Nevendon 4/1, In good form over hurdles this summer and suggested there might be a race in him on the Flat soon when second over C&D 14 days ago. Big player off an unchanged mark. Second of nine over C&D two weeks ago, which was his best Flat run for ages.
3	9 3rd (9) (28/1 -133%) It's How We Roll	28 28/1(-133%)	(9) It's How We Roll 28/1, C&D winner. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Windsor (11.5f, good, 11/1) 11 days ago. Each-way shout. Mixed messages lately, the big plus being his 11.4f classified win at Windsor in June.
4	12 4th (12) (66/1 -65%) Assembled	66 66/1(-65%)	(12) Assembled 66/1, 25/1, tenth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 21 days ago, never nearer. Significantly up in trip. Ten months off before this season and he finished a bit closer again last time.
5th	3 5th (3) (14/1 -75%) Bobby Kennedy	14 14/1(-75%)	(3) Bobby Kennedy 14/1, C&D winner. Another good effort here when second on reappearance but disappointing twice since. Needs a first-time visor to have a positive effect. C&D second (soft) in April; two backward steps on good to firm since; visored first time.
6th	10 6th (10) (12/1 +45%) Gilbert	12 12/1(+45%)	(10) Gilbert 12/1, Latest win at Windsor in June. 33/1, respectable fifth of 7 in handicap at Catterick (1½m, good) 14 days ago, better placed than most. Won at Windsor (11.4f) in June and has run creditably on two of his three starts since.
7th	13 7th (13) (5/1 +38%) Mini Mildred	5 5/1(+38%)	(13) Mini Mildred 5/1, 16/1, excellent third of 13 in C&D handicap (good) 5 days ago, suited by increase in trip. Less exposed than a lot of these. Only six races, close 3rd of 13 over C&D (good to soft) five days ago; could build on that.
8th	7 8th (7) (6/1 +57%) Endofastorm	6 6/1(+57%)	(7) Endofastorm 6/1, AW winner in January. 14/1, creditable sixth of 13 in C&D handicap (good) 5 days ago. Stamina faltered over C&D (good to soft) five days ago, after 72 days off.
9th	5 9th (5) (12/1 -20%) Silver Bubble	12 12/1(-20%)	(5) Silver Bubble 12/1, Notched 4 wins at Brighton last year. Drawn a blank in 2023 but did run creditably when fourth over C&D last month and stamina stretched over 1¾m here since. All wins at Brighton but she was a close fourth of 12 over C&D on penultimate start.
10th	6 10th (6) (28/1 -133%) Pepsiwithacap	28 28/1(-133%)	(6) Pepsiwithacap 28/1, Third of 9 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (2m, good to soft, 66/1) 20 days ago. Fair on AW Flat but turf efforts in this sphere haven't amounted to much. AW form has always been better but she needs a second look.
11th	2 11th (2) (9/1 -80%) Galactic Glow	9 9/1(-80%)	(2) Galactic Glow 9/1, Three wins over 1¼m here this year. Not at best here (1¼m again) last time but no surprise were he to bounce straight back. Up in trip. Resurgent with three 1m2f wins here this summer; has looked stretched by this sort of trip.
12th	1 12th (1) (7/1 +36%) Iron Heart	7 7/1(+36%)	(1) Iron Heart 7/1, Won selling hurdle on final start for David Pipe but has offered nothing in 6 starts on the level for this yard. Uncompetitive on AW this January-March and soundly beaten at Epsom five weeks ago.

LTO Selection:

Galactic Glow was denied a hat-trick when returning to handicap company over 1m2f at this track last month but, given he is still rated 7lb above his last winning mark, NEVENDON can get the better of him today. Alexandra Dunn's six-year-old was a staying-on second over C&D last month and can progress further off the same mark. The consistent Lhebayeb is another to consider.

NEVENDON went down only to track specialist Blue Hero over C&D last time and might be able to go one better off the same mark. Galactic Glow knows where the winning post is here, which counts for plenty at this level, and he's second choice ahead of Lhebayeb, who has regularly been placed this season but remains winless.

Galactic Glow has three wins this season but, given today's trip, recent C&D runner-up NEVENDON gets the vote.

1	10 1st (10) (18/1 -100%) Motawaafeq	18 18/1(-100%)	(10) Motawaafeq 18/1, Afforded respite by the handicapper and he duly capitalised when making all at Kempton (1m) 4 weeks ago, pushed along 2f out and keeping on well. Has tasted success on turf previously but likely he'll face competition for the lead on this occasion. Surged back to form when making all at Kempton; this is more competitive and he's up 4lb.
2	8 2nd (8) (3.5/1 +65%) Arranmore	3.5 3.5/1(+65%)	(8) Arranmore 3.5/1, Posted trio of in-the-frame efforts following a wind op earlier this season, edged out only late on at Haydock (10.2f) in June. Possible soft ground caught him out when seventh of 8 in handicap at Chester (10.3f) 25 days ago and better showing anticipated returned to better ground. Soft ground a plausible excuse last time; each-way claims if the ground dries out.
3	6 3rd (6) (1.62/1 +28%) Tele Red	1.62 1.62/1(+28%)	(6) Tele Red 1.62/1, Course winner who resumed winning ways under this rider at Haydock (1m) 2 starts back and well placed by connections to follow up at York (7.9f) 12 days ago, leading over 1f out and running on. Rider takes off handy 7 lb and claims in hat-trick bid. As good as ever of late, winning at Haydock and York; hat-trick looks very possible.
4	11 4th (11) (10/1 +0%) Perfect Swiss	10 10/1(+0%)	(11) Perfect Swiss 10/1, C&D winner who returned from 11 weeks off with a good second here in July. Not seen to best effect when fifth in a C&D handicap 10 days ago (not clear run entering straight) and he's not out of things from this mark. Arrives in top form (met trouble last time); big player if getting the breaks.
5th	9 5th (9) (8/1 -23%) Global Spirit	8 8/1(-23%)	(9) Global Spirit 8/1, Proved game when landing this race from an 8 lb higher mark 12 months ago. Winless since and seemingly going through the motions in recent starts but return to the pick of his early-season form gives him a shout. Last year's winner off an 8lb higher mark but recent efforts have been subdued.
6th	2 6th (2) (12/1 -33%) Hortzadar	12 12/1(-33%)	(2) Hortzadar 12/1, C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 17/2, below form sixth of 12 in handicap at Ripon (1m, soft) 18 days ago. Handy draw to operate from if he can bounce back from this reduced mark. Hard to predict; only sixth of 12 at Ripon last time; others appeal a bit more.
7th	3 7th (3) (10/1 +29%) Alexander James	10 10/1(+29%)	(3) Alexander James 10/1, Capitalised on drop in grade when landing a Beverley seller (7.4f) on final start for Mick Appleby last month and solid start for new stable when finishing close-up sixth in handicap at Yarmouth (1m) 13 days ago, running on. Not beaten far at Yarmouth last time; this looks stronger but he can't be ruled out.
8th	1 8th (1) (12/1 -20%) Garden Oasis	12 12/1(-20%)	(1) Garden Oasis 12/1, C&D winner who opened his account for the season under a good front-running ride at Ayr (1m) in June. Run with credit both starts since, latterly when fourth of 8 in a C&D handicap in July. However, wider draw than ideal to contend with here. Nine-time winner; just a respectable fourth here latest start; drying ground would suit.
9th	12 9th (12) (40/1 -60%) Captain Corelli	40 40/1(-60%)	(12) Captain Corelli 40/1, C&D winner who was operating below his best in pair of starts at Beverley during the spring. Has edged back down to last winning mark back from 70 days off/following wind op so interesting what the market makes of him. C&D winner; well beaten this year; hopes rest on a breathing operation.
10th	7 10th (7) (20/1 -43%) Ventura Rascal	20 20/1(-43%)	(7) Ventura Rascal 20/1, Resumed winning ways in a C&D claiming handicap 13 months ago. Returned with solid efforts on first 2 starts this term but he does need to put a lesser run over C&D behind him 19 days ago. Made all over C&D last summer but unplaced five times since.
11th	4 11th (4) (28/1 +0%) Sucellus	28 28/1(+0%)	(4) Sucellus 28/1, Unpredictable sort who ended 2022 on a high when scoring at Wolverhampton in October. However, yet to scale same heights in handful of starts this term, never landing a blow seventh of 13 to Tele Red in handicap (66/1) at York (7.9f, good) 12 days ago. Defied similar marks twice last year but has looked out of sorts this season.

LTO Selection:

Although GLOBAL SPIRIT was in better form prior to landing the corresponding event 12 months ago, he is now 8lb lower and is handicapped to repeat the dose, provided a return to this venue can spark a revival. There has been no stopping Tele Red, who arrives having notched up a brace of successes at Haydock and York, and he merits the utmost respect today. As does Casilli, while it would be folly to rule out former C&D winner Hortzadar, who is now 13lb below his last winning mark.

Allowing for his rider's claim, TELE RED comes here operating just 4 lb above the mark he scored from in good style at York 12 days ago and Karl Burke's charge looks a big player in his hat-trick bid returned to a track he's gone well at previously. Perfect Swiss was better than he could show over C&D latest and is another to consider, with Casilli and last year's winner Global Spirit also worth a second look.

A chance is taken with PERFECT SWISS who went down narrowly over C&D in July and had no luck in running next time.

Seventh of 8 in handicap (8/1) at Chepstow (8.1f, good to soft) 12 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Placed off much-reduced mark last month but has disappointed since; others preferred.
2	9 2nd (9) (4/1 +11%) Cobalt Blue	4 4/1(+11%)	(9) Cobalt Blue 4/1, Ran his best race returned to a handicap when third of 8 in handicap (14/1) at Epsom (7f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Merits consideration. Shaped very much as though ready for another crack at 1m when third over 7f last month.
3	12 3rd (12) (12/1 +14%) Otago	12 12/1(+14%)	(12) Otago 12/1, Course winner. Latest win here in April. 6/1, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (7.6f, good to soft) 9 days ago. 7f course winner off this mark in April; others might see this trip out more strongly.
4	7 4th (7) (16/1 +27%) English Spirit	16 16/1(+27%)	(7) English Spirit 16/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. Last of 13 in handicap (25/1) at York (7.9f, good) 12 days ago, doing too much too soon. Well beaten after racing too freely recently but ran well when second in this last year.

Went off too hard last time but was placed on penultimate outing and is on a good mark.
6th	6 6th (6) (6.5/1 +54%) Darvel	6.5 6.5/1(+54%)	(6) Darvel 6.5/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in July. Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Epsom (8.5f, good to firm, 7/1) 20 days ago. Can give a good account. Dual C&D winner, latterly last month; held at Epsom since but still enters calculations.
7th	2 7th (2) (4.5/1 -29%) Youarenotforgiven	4.5 4.5/1(-29%)	(2) Youarenotforgiven 4.5/1, 2 wins from 3 runs this year. 10/3, improved again when winning 7-runner handicap at Newbury (7f, good to firm) 34 days ago despite doing a fair bit wrong. Should make a bold bid for the hat-trick. Bang-in-form 5yo who bids to complete a hat-trick; big player if this track suits.
8th	13 8th (13) (16/1 -100%) Outrace	16 16/1(-100%)	(13) Outrace 16/1, Latest win at Bath in July. 10/1, creditable third of 9 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good) 11 days ago, having run of race. Placed off this mark since last month's surprise win at Bath; needs a career best here.
9th	5 9th (5) (9/1 -13%) Intercessor	9 9/1(-13%)	(5) Intercessor 9/1, Sixth of 9 in handicap at Sandown (8f, good to soft, 8/1) 14 days ago. Has a good record on downhill tracks so not taken lightly. Needs to better last couple of outings but is well handicapped on spring form.
10th	10 10th (10) (11/1 +21%) Poetic Force	11 11/1(+21%)	(10) Poetic Force 11/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 13 runs this year. Respectable third of 8 in handicap at this course (7f, good, 9/1) 43 days ago. Pretty consistent 9yo who has dropped 1lb since his 7f third here six weeks ago.
11th	11 11th (11) (22/1 -144%) Revision	22 22/1(-144%)	(11) Revision 22/1, 14/1, good second of 8 in handicap at Leicester (7f, good to firm) 32 days ago. Sold from Kevin Ryan 14,000 gns later in July. Signed off for Kevin Ryan with close second over 7f last month; up in trip for new stable.
12th	8 12th (8) (11/1 -22%) Harb	11 11/1(-22%)	(8) Harb 11/1, 6/1, good second of 8 in handicap at Epsom (7f, good) 27 days ago but looks vulnerable at this trip. Raced mainly over sprint trips; second over 7f last month; first attempt at 1m today.
13th	1 13th (1) (28/1 -12%) Evocative Spark	28 28/1(-12%)	(1) Evocative Spark 28/1, 10/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 9 in handicap at Chester (10.3f, good) 53 days ago. Sold from Ollie Sangster 22,000 gns in July. Hood back on, tongue strap back on. Hasn't fired on any of three starts this season; now with another new stable.

LTO Selection:

YOUARENOTFORGIVEN has taken a big step forward on his last couple of starts and arrives here in search of a hat-trick following victories at Leicester and Newbury. The five-year-old doesn't appear to have reached his ceiling yet and gets the vote at the main expense of stable companion Revision, who bounced back to form after wind surgery when runner-up at Leicester. Outrace and Harb are others likely to enter calculations.

YOUARENOTFORGIVEN had more in hand than the bare margin suggests when beating a subsequent winner at Newbury so is taken to complete the hat-trick. Intercessor is on a workable mark and has a good record on downhill tracks, so is next best ahead of 3-y-o Cobalt Blue, who took a step forward when third at Epsom.

The feature race might go to COBALT BLUE, who put in very good late work when third over 7f three weeks ago and is unexposed over 1m.

Likely to strip fitter for that and he may well have a bigger performance in him with few miles on the clock. Only just failed at Kempton (1m, AW) last October; fared okay on recent comeback (7f).

Fourth of 6 in handicap at Salisbury (9.9f, good to firm, 7/2). Off 12 months.

First run for yard after leaving Ed De Giles. Plenty to prove. No win since December 2021; has left Ed de Giles; lowest mark since 2019 but best watched..

LTO Selection:

Runner-up over this distance at Windsor on his most recent outing, MY AMBITION looks the one to beat on his return to this track having recorded a C&D double before that narrow defeat. Although he is now rated 5lb above his last winning mark, George Bass knocks off a handy 3lb with his claim and the four-year-old could have more to offer with this in mind. Eye Of The Water was only narrowly denied when finishing third over C&D on his penultimate outing and is feared most off the same mark, while Jack Sparowe completes the shortlist.

MY AMBITION completed a double at this track in May/June and produced another big effort at Windsor last time, so this thriving 4yo is the obvious one to side with. Eye of The Water usually gives his running and has a solid record at the track, so he's likely to be on the premises and market support for the unexposed Jack Sparowe would look significant.

Barring soft ground, which isn't forecast, MY AMBITION should prove tough to beat after a career-best effort at Windsor.

1	9 1st (9) (20/1 -100%) Van Gerwen	20 20/1(-100%)	(9) Van Gerwen 20/1, 3-time C&D winner. Sixteenth of 19 in handicap (80/1) at York (5f, good) 11 days ago, left poorly placed. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Down in grade and was second in this last year. Veteran; poorly drawn last time; second in this race 12 months ago; not without a chance.
2	3 2nd (3) (2.75/1 +17%) King Of Tonga	2.75 2.75/1(+17%)	(3) King Of Tonga 2.75/1, C&D winner who had a wind op before posting a good second of 9 in handicap at Beverley (5f, soft) 8 days ago. Form has been franked so he has to be taken seriously off an unchanged mark. Six wins in total, two here; shaped well at Beverley last week; might be the answer.
3	1 3rd (1) (10/1 -18%) Rambuso Creek	10 10/1(-18%)	(1) Rambuso Creek 10/1, 12/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, tenth of 11 in handicap at Ascot (5f, good). Off 98 days and needs a revival. Likes Pontefract; mark has dropped; interesting for in-form yard if revived by a break.
4	6 4th (6) (1.5/1 +70%) So Grateful	1.5 1.5/1(+70%)	(6) So Grateful 1.5/1, C&D winner in July. Respectable sixth of 11 in handicap (18/1) at Doncaster (6f, heavy) 4 days ago so he's one for the shortlist. C&D winner in July and shaped as if still in form last time; well drawn.
5th	8 5th (8) (20/1 +9%) Elzaal	20 20/1(+9%)	(8) Elzaal 20/1, 4 wins from 9 runs this year. Latest win at Newcastle in March. Only sixth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft, 14/1) 10 days ago though, so more is required. Four AW wins early this year but seems to have gone off the boil.
6th	7 6th (7) (9/1 +25%) Prospect	9 9/1(+25%)	(7) Prospect 9/1, Latest win at Catterick in June. 33/1, ninth of 19 in handicap at York (5f, good) 11 days ago, left poorly placed. Sort to bounce back. Not at best since Catterick win in the spring; excuse last time but has to bounce back.
7th	5 7th (5) (7.5/1 +25%) Newyorkstateofmind	7.5 7.5/1(+25%)	(5) Newyorkstateofmind 7.5/1, Latest win at Hamilton in June. Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap (12/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 15 days ago, nearest finish. Merits consideration. In and out this year but fifth of 12 last time was no disgrace; drying ground would suit.
8th	4 8th (4) (9/1 +10%) The Dunkirk Lads	9 9/1(+10%)	(4) The Dunkirk Lads 9/1, Latest win at Beverley in April. 8/1, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Beverley (5f, soft) 8 days ago. Needs considering. Beaten narrowly at Beverley last Monday; creditable efforts both attempts here; in the mix.

LTO Selection:

IMPRESSOR continued his fine run of form when making it three wins from his last four outings at Hamilton on Saturday and a 5lb penalty is unlikely to stop him from backing that performance up. The only recent defeat for the selection came when third at Beverley in a slowly-run contest when finishing one place behind runner-up King Of Tonga, who had seemingly benefited from wind surgery. Declan Carroll's gelding is likely to prove a solid threat, while The Dunkirk Lads, fourth in that aforementioned event in East Yorkshire, is another capable of being in the mix.

A few with chances but KING OF TONGA showed the benefit of breathing surgery when a recent second at Beverley and can go one better off the same mark with that form having been franked. Impressor is enjoying an excellent season and poses a big threat to Declan Carroll's former C&D scorer however. Newyorkstateofmind and So Grateful need factoring in too in a competitive sprint.

Impressor is thriving but KING OF TONGA (nap) emerged on top when the pair last met and can do so again on 5lb better terms.

Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. 40/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good) 14 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Goes well here but looks out of form. Out of form in sprint handicaps lately but today's trip ought to be much more suitable.
2	1 2nd (1) (5.5/1 +0%) Arlo's Sunshine	5.5 5.5/1(+0%)	(1) Arlo's Sunshine 5.5/1, Modest gelding. 16/1, first run since leaving P. Charalambous & J. Clutterbuck when creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (7.6f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Should be on the premises again. Ran pretty game race from the front when fourth on recent stable debut; one to consider.
3	8 3rd (8) (40/1 -186%) Rayena	40 40/1(-186%)	(8) Rayena 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 8 in handicap at Leicester (8.2f, soft, 40/1) 14 days ago. Relatively unexposed and not completely dismissed. Fourth in a novice race in May but struggled in both subsequent handicaps; risky.

Course winner in June. 4/1, creditable third of 10 in handicap at this course (7f, good) 36 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Should get back to winning ways. Backed up 7f course win in June with good third over that trip; leading contender.

Cheekpieces back on. Likely to bounce back returning to this trip. Ran poorly on AW a fortnight ago but it's worth remembering he won this race last year.
6th	2 6th (2) (40/1 +0%) Chloellie	40 40/1(+0%)	(2) Chloellie 40/1, Modest mare. Thirty nine runs since last win in 2020. 80/1, bit below form seventh of 12 in minor event at Lingfield (8f, AW) 60 days ago. Others make more appeal. Recent AW form is uninspiring and this switch back to turf is probably not ideal.
7th	4 7th (4) (9/1 +18%) Endless Season	9 9/1(+18%)	(4) Endless Season 9/1, Modest filly. 14/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good) 8 days ago. Others make more appeal. Placed twice in this grade in June and didn't run badly in a recent handicap; shortlisted.
8th	5 8th (5) (150/1 -50%) Miss Malou	150 150/1(-50%)	(5) Miss Malou 150/1, Poor filly. Tenth of 14 in minor event (200/1) at Bath (8f, good) 14 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Very hard to make a case for. Poor maiden who a well-beaten 200-1 shot in this grade at Bath a fortnight ago.

LTO Selection:

VOODOO RAY's sole career victory came here on his penultimate outing in June before finishing third in handicap company. The slight doubt is whether the mile will stretch his stamina, based on his last attempt over this distance, but he brings the most consistent form to the table and may take advantage of running in a classified event. Endless Season's best efforts have come in similar contests at Lingfield and she commands respect, while Arlo's Sunshine appears best of the remainder.

VOODOO RAY scored at this track on his penultimate outing and shaped as if still in top form (went off hard) when third here since, so he's fancied to resume winning ways at the likely expense of Arlo's Sunshine, the only one of the others to arrive in form. Vitesse du Son is likely to benefit from the return to this trip, so he's also considered.

The most obvious answer is VOODOO RAY, who moves back up in trip after running well in two 7f handicaps here this summer.

Lyons when fourth of 7 in maiden (66/1) at Ballinrobe (9.4f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Unexposed compared to the bulk of his rivals and he's worth considering.

Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 16/1, below form tenth of 18 in handicap at Galway (12f, good to soft) 6 days ago. Has endured a busy spell of late. Ran twice at Galway including over hurdles, should be more competitive in a race like this.

Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. 20/1, eleventh of 16 in handicap at Leopardstown (12.8f, good to soft) 20 days ago, slowly away. Hinted at a revival on penultimate start, so not a forlorn hope.

First run since leaving Keith Dalgleish when below form eleventh of 18 in handicap (22/1) at Galway (8.6f, soft) 8 days ago. Up in trip. Others make more appeal.

Showed decent form two seasons ago, has struggled since fourth in this race 12 months ago.

LTO Selection:

Claimer king James McAuley has 'handicapped' his quartet of runners pretty much in accordance with how they are officially rated and all four have top jockeys aboard. TEXAS SUN is less exposed than the other trio sporting the orange silks and ran quite well against higher-rated rivals in a Ballinrobe maiden on stable debut. From trap one he should be able to get a good position under Gary Carroll and can go close. Bringsty ran no race in a claimer the same day at Ballinrobe but had been highly consistent prior to that, with two wins and four seconds in his previous eight starts. Assuming the last day was a blip, he's likely to contend. Darkened won over hurdles at last year's Galway Festival but was unplaced under both codes at Ballybrit last week. Third over 1m at Killarney before heading west, this will be his first time in claiming company and the five-time winner merits plenty of respect on overall form.

TEXAS SUN is less exposed than the bulk of his rivals and made a positive start for his new yard in a maiden at Ballinrobe last time, so he's worth a chance to open his account in a race where most have something to prove. Cafe Con Leche and Bringsty are both likely to feature if back on their game.

James McAuley runs four. BRINGSTY is probably the safest choice despite an uncharacteristic lapse at Ballinrobe

1	11 1st (11) (5.5/1 +54%) Golden Phase	5.5 5.5/1(+54%)	(11) Golden Phase 5.5/1, Eleventh of 16 in handicap (16/1) at Newbury (8f, good) 19 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Back down in class. Still lightly raced but well held at Newbury the last twice and others are more convincing.
2	4 2nd (4) (2.25/1 +18%) Lunar Landscape	2.25 2.25/1(+18%)	(4) Lunar Landscape 2.25/1, 1/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, good second of 5 in handicap at Ffos Las (10f, heavy) 9 days ago. Enters calculations. Front-running second at Ffos Las (1m2f) last week and he looks interesting back in trip.
3	10 3rd (10) (2.12/1 +6%) Haaf A Diamond	2.12 2.12/1(+6%)	(10) Haaf A Diamond 2.12/1, Winner at Leicester in June. 15/8, good second of 8 in handicap at Leicester (8.2f, soft) 14 days ago. Progressing well recently. Win and good second at Leicester in her last two runs and she's open to more progress.
4	6 4th (6) (33/1 -10%) Guiteau	33 33/1(-10%)	(6) Guiteau 33/1, 40/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Newbury (6f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Has beaten only four rivals in as many handicaps and has plenty to prove back up to 1m.
5th	3 5th (3) (3.33/1 +33%) Moush	3.33 3.33/1(+33%)	(3) Moush 3.33/1, Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap (11/2) at Newmarket (10f, good to soft) 18 days ago, faring best of those who raced on the speed. Not taken lightly. Ten-race maiden who was well below form last time and has something to prove back at 1m.
6th	7 6th (7) (33/1 -50%) Smart Charger	33 33/1(-50%)	(7) Smart Charger 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Ninth of 10 in maiden at this C&D (good, 200/1) 28 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Didn't show much in his first three runs and needs a transformation on his handicap debut.
7th	2 7th (2) (25/1 +0%) Finn Russell	25 25/1(+0%)	(2) Finn Russell 25/1, Last of 9 in handicap at Newbury (10f, good to soft, 18/1) 13 days ago. Hood back on. Eight-race maiden who has struggled for new yard this season; plenty to prove.
8th	8 8th (8) (50/1 +50%) Miss American Pie	50 50/1(+50%)	(8) Miss American Pie 50/1, 40/1, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, heavy) 4 days ago. Has struggled since her debut win last April and has a lot to prove.
9th	9 9th (9) (22/1 +12%) Papal Music	22 22/1(+12%)	(9) Papal Music 22/1, 16/1, last of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) 19 days ago. Blinkers back on. Others more persuasive. His form has gone the wrong way in handicaps and he was tailed off at Nottingham last time.
10th	12 10th (12) (125/1 -25%) Hiya Hiya	125 125/1(-25%)	(12) Hiya Hiya 125/1, 125/1 and hooded for 1st time, eighth of 11 in minor event at Ffos Las (8f, heavy) 9 days ago, slowly away. Yet to be placed and has been nowhere near putting that right for new yard this season.
11th	5 11th (5) (50/1 -52%) Angelic Divas	50 50/1(-52%)	(5) Angelic Divas 50/1, Seventh of 9 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good, 12/1) 36 days ago, slowly away. Hood on 1st time. Seven-race maiden and a hood needs to make a difference at this new trip.

LTO Selection:

This could go the way of the fairly progressive HAAF A DIAMOND. She lost little in defeat when filling the runner-up spot over this distance at Leicester last month and a reproduction of that effort can see her firmly in the picture, despite a 2lb raised mark. Perfect Gentleman has to shoulder top-weight following a decent third at Wolverhampton last Friday but is still feared most, ahead of Lunar Landscape.

HAAF A DIAMOND has improved since switched to handicaps and she can quickly resume winning ways given the manner she beat the rest when second at Leicester. Lunar Landscape is holding his form well and should be thereabouts again, while Moush and Perfect Gentleman were both not seen to best effect last time.

Top of the list is the progressive filly HAAF A DIAMOND (nap), who was a clear second in her bid for Leicester double last month.

Well beaten twice since though, including over C&D 19 days ago. Hood back on. 10l defeat here on latest start was first attempt at 6f; hood returns first time this year.
2	1 2nd (1) (4.5/1 -13%) International Girl	4.5 4.5/1(-13%)	(1) International Girl 4.5/1, Dual winner last season (including over C&D) who has acquitted herself well this term, eighth of 15 in handicap at York (6f, good) 11 days ago. Big player down in class. C&D winner; in good form this season but has more to prove on softer than good.
3	6 3rd (6) (6/1 +33%) Emperor Caradoc	6 6/1(+33%)	(6) Emperor Caradoc 6/1, First run since leaving Bryan Smart when third of 12 in handicap (15/2) at Doncaster (6f, soft) 13 days ago. Dual winner and been given a chance by the handicapper. Seen only on softer than good; respectable start for yard when third over 6f at Doncaster.
4	3 4th (3) (40/1 -82%) Kit Gabriel	40 40/1(-82%)	(3) Kit Gabriel 40/1, C&D winner (his sole success). Off 8 months. First run for yard after leaving Amy Murphy. Interesting he starts out back here for new yard but it looks tough. Sole win on his only run at Pontefract, in 2021; inconsistent last term for Amy Murphy.
5th	4 5th (4) (6/1 -50%) Harry's Halo	6 6/1(-50%)	(4) Harry's Halo 6/1, C&D winner. 7/4, good second of 7 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, soft) 13 days ago. One to note now up against the elder horses. Won a C&D novice (good to soft) last October; has since gone well on heavy and soft.
6th	10 6th (10) (5.5/1 -10%) Corinthia Knight	5.5 5.5/1(-10%)	(10) Corinthia Knight 5.5/1, 5-time C&D scorer who made a fine return from 4-months off when fourth in a C&D handicap in June. Excuses here since and no surprise to see him go well off a low weight in race he won last year (his last victory). Fine record here, slightly dented this summer but he's still one to consider.
7th	7 7th (7) (10/1 +0%) Golden Apollo	10 10/1(+0%)	(7) Golden Apollo 10/1, C&D winner. Below form ninth of 17 in handicap (28/1) at York (7f, good) 12 days ago. Needs a revival. 9yo back to his last winning mark, from C&D last September, and needs a close look.
8th	2 8th (2) (2.75/1 +45%) Ghathanfar	2.75 2.75/1(+45%)	(2) Ghathanfar 2.75/1, C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Eleventh of 16 in handicap at York (6f, good, 11/2) 25 days ago, not ideally placed and excuses. Lurks on a very tempting mark. Not at his peak despite being prominent in the betting on recent starts; down the weights.
9th	5 9th (5) (7.5/1 +0%) Hougoumont	7.5 7.5/1(+0%)	(5) Hougoumont 7.5/1, Won a pair of 6f novices last autumn (second one over C&D) and not disgraced first 2 starts in handicaps this spring. Looked quirky when seventh of 8 in handicap at Haydock (7.2f, firm) 60 days ago. Has had wind op/hood back on. On the premises if straight back to form after wind surgery and with the 2022 hood back.

LTO Selection:

Harry's Halo improved from his return at Kempton in June when filling the runner-up spot at both Chester and Doncaster. Kevin Frost's gelding commands plenty of respect, but INTERNATIONAL GIRL edges the vote. She has been running in more competitive races of late and could have finished closer last time at York when hampered at a crucial point. The form of that contest has worked out well, with the winner following up in the Stewards' Cup and the second also winning since, and a 2lb drop from the handicapper aids her cause. Any market support for Kit Gabriel on his first start for Mark Loughnane should be noted.

Pontefract regular CORINTHIA KNIGHT lurks on a very tempting mark and is worth chancing to repeat his win in this last year having not had much go his way here the last twice. A number of other C&D winners make plenty of appeal, International Girl and Ghathanfar the pick of the older brigade ahead of 3-y-o Harry's Halo.

International Girl makes appeal on good ground but course specialist CORINTHIA KNIGHT is too well handicapped to be passed over.

Big player from the same mark. Went close at Epsom on Thursday; quickly back in action before handicapper reacts.

Helped by being held up in strongly-run race last time but clearly demands respect again in hat-trick bid. In-form mare who came from behind to win over C&D on her last two outings; respected.
3	1 3rd (1) (2/1 +50%) Local Bay	2 2/1(+50%)	(1) Local Bay 2/1, Two wins from 6 runs this year. Good third of 11 in handicap at Chepstow (7.1f, good to soft, 11/1) 30 days ago, finishing with running left. Tongue strap back on and looks ready to cash in on his reduced turf mark. Met traffic when third in stronger race than this at Chepstow last month; shortlisted.
4	2 4th (2) (3.33/1 +5%) Brilliant Blue	3.33 3.33/1(+5%)	(2) Brilliant Blue 3.33/1, 5/1 and cheekpieces on for first time, creditable third of 13 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good) 16 days ago given he was slowly away and rider dropped his whip close home. Can give a good account from the same mark. 0-16, but gave good account when third at Windsor last month; each-way claims at least.
5th	8 5th (8) (66/1 -32%) Mc's Wag	66 66/1(-32%)	(8) Mc's Wag 66/1, Very limited form in her qualifying runs, last of 12 in maiden at Southwell (6.1f). Off 6 months. Makes handicap debut. Struggled in three 6f AW novice/maiden races during the winter; handicap debut today.
6th	7 6th (7) (33/1 -10%) Grey Rosetta	33 33/1(-10%)	(7) Grey Rosetta 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fourth of 6 in handicap (80/1) at Lingfield (6f, heavy) 4 days ago, never nearer. Slight step back up in trip will suit. Unexposed filly; ran okay at Lingfield on Saturday but needs another step forward here.
7th	5 7th (5) (10/1 +29%) Beautiful Star	10 10/1(+29%)	(5) Beautiful Star 10/1, Fifth of 6 in handicap (5/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f), needing stronger gallop. Off 106 days and takes on her elders for the first time. Placed on stable debut in March but three lesser efforts followed; back from a break today.

LTO Selection:

Heer's Sadie bids for a C&D hat-trick having returned from a small break in fine fettle and Julia Feilden's mare warrants the utmost respect. However, a chance is taken with OPTIVA STAR, who has improved since being stepped up to 7f and went very close to shedding the maiden tag when beaten a head at Epsom on Thursday. Local Bay and Brilliant Blue can fight it out for the minor honours.

LOCAL BAY produced his best effort on grass for a while when third at Chepstow last month, finishing with running left, and looks capable of cashing in on his much-reduced turf mark. Optiva Star was runner-up in a slightly deeper 3-y-o handicap than this at Epsom last week so rates the main threat ahead of Heer's Sadie.

Richard Hannon's 3yo OPTIVA STAR (nap) has been shaping very much as though his turn is near and gets the nod.

Cheekpieces on 1st time. Shaped with promise on stable/handicap debut, fair chance if cheekpieces bring improvement.
2	13 2nd (13) (3/1 +25%) Spinning Web	3 3/1(+25%)	(13) Spinning Web 3/1, Poor form in 4 Flat outings, including a handicap on reappearance, but did manage to make a winning start over hurdles at Tipperary 5 weeks ago. That suggests he should be up to making an impact from a basement mark on the Flat. Winner of a juvenile maiden hurdle at Tipperary, could be very well handicapped now.

6th	1 6th (1) (9/1 +59%) Hialeah	9 9/1(+59%)	(1) Hialeah 9/1, Twelfth of 16 in handicap (15/2) at Naas (10.3f, good) 32 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Claims if the headgear sparks a return to form. Started the season brightly at Gowran, confidence dented by two subsequent runs, blinkered.
7th	5 7th (5) (100/1 -150%) Lisgin	100 100/1(-150%)	(5) Lisgin 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fourteenth of 15 in handicap at Bellewstown (7.9f, good to soft, 50/1) 34 days ago, slowly away.

Might be the best of the Slattery quartet. Roscommon fourth was a step in the right direction, looks best of trainer's four runners.
11th	7 11th (7) (8/1 +11%) Ballyvohane	8 8/1(+11%)	(7) Ballyvohane 8/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eleventh of 12 in maiden (40/1) at Killarney (11.2f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Unexposed and from a leading yard so there are reasons to be hopeful. Sole start at two in maiden won by Auguste Rodin, has shown very little in three outings.

13th	15 13th (15) (28/1 +30%) Buzzen	28 28/1(+30%)	(15) Buzzen 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 15 in handicap (50/1) at Navan (10f, soft) 25 days ago. Visored for 1st time. RESERVE. First reserve, ordinary form in maidens, down the field in first handicap, visored now.

LTO Selection:

Pat Martin was one of the first trainers to latch onto Dylan Browne McMonagle when the young Donegal rider was making his way up the apprentice ranks and the pair have a good record when joining forces. SO MESSI was placed in his first two handicaps and just failed to get up over 1m at Killarney last time. He handled that left-handed track better than right-handed Ballinrobe the time before and hopefully the return to a clockwise circuit won't be an issue. Believe Me Now got no run on handicap debut at Roscommon before finishing a creditable fourth to a subsequent Galway festival winner on a return visit. She's had a break and coming back in trip may well suit. Katonah was a fair fifth in her first handicap at Leopardstown. Denied racing room on her next start, she may have been unsuited to making the running at Cork last time and is capable of better.

SO MESSI is given a chance to build on last month's Killarney near miss. Spinning Web has yet to offer much encouragement on the Flat but a recent hurdle debut success suggests he ought to be up making his presence felt in this sphere from a mark in the low-40s. Water Mint, who wasn't too far behind the selection at Killarney, is also on the shortlist.

If maintaining the improvement shown when switched to hurdling at Tipperary, SPINNING WEB is potentially very well handicapped

Back down in trip and represents last year's winning trainer/jockey combination. No surprise were he to go well. Two 1m6f wins for A Perrett last year; not fired in 2 runs for new yard; capable but risky.
2	2 2nd (2) (4.5/1 -29%) Dereham	4.5 4.5/1(-29%)	(2) Dereham 4.5/1, C&D winner. Back to winning ways at Newmarket (2m, good, 17/2) 41 days ago. Ought to remain competitive up 3 lb. Strong stayer; C&D winner; comes here on the back of a Newmarket win; major player.
3	1 3rd (1) (1.75/1 +13%) Daaris	1.75 1.75/1(+13%)	(1) Daaris 1.75/1, Blinkered first time, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Nottingham (1¾m, good to soft, 11/1) 32 days ago. The second has run well since and another bold show is likely of the headgear continues to have a positive effect. Impressive tried in blinkers at Nottingham last month (1m6f, good); 6lb higher but feared.

6th	3 6th (3) (11/1 +50%) Alpha King	11 11/1(+50%)	(3) Alpha King 11/1, Irresolute performer. Course winner. Struggled over hurdles prior to finishing well held over 1¼m here back on the Flat last week. Eyeshields on first time and up significantly in trip. Wide-margin winner over 11.5f here last summer; largely poor form since; risky but capable.

LTO Selection:

Archie Watson and Brodie Hampson teamed up to win this last year and will look to follow up with Sir Joseph Swan, but a place may be the best he can hope for in this field. Dereham is a C&D winner who stays even further and he can go close after winning a better race at Newmarket in June, but DAARIS is the pick. Kevin Frost's gelding won easily over this trip at Nottingham in July and may do the same, despite an additional 6lb from the handicapper.

DAARIS reacted positively to blinkers at Nottingham last time and might be up to defying a rise in the weights if the headgear works as well a second time. It's probably only a matter of time before Sir Joseph Swan clicks for the Archie Watson yard and he's second choice ahead of last-time-out Newmarket scorer Dereham.

Daaris is respected after an easy win last month but DEREHAM (nap), an in-form C&D winner, looks a better option.

However, hasn't matched that level over hurdles, pulled up in handicap at Warwick (2m, heavy) when last seen in January. Bumper winner and second here in 2021, but poor over hurdles; returns from another absence.

Half-brother to several winners, including 6f/7f winner Papacito and 2-y-o 7f winner What Style, both useful. Dam unraced. Faces a tough task. From a successful family but this looks a tough starting point.

LTO Selection:

MEASURED TIME accounted for a useful rival when making a winning debut over C&D in February and the son of Frankel merits plenty of respect on his return to action, despite carrying a 6lb penalty. Godwinson and Botanical have also shown a high level of ability already and they are likely to be the main threats to the selection. That said, Lahab should not be underestimated and Marching Band is a noteworthy newcomer.

MEASURED TIME looked a smart prospect when making a winning debut at this C&D in February, putting the race to bed in good style, and he can score again with plenty more to come. The son of Frankel is taken to see off the challenge of Botanical and Godwinson, who are both open to further improvement having also won on their latest outings.

The vote goes to BOTANICAL who went close on his debut here before winning at Hamilton. The stable won a division of this last year.

LTO Selection:

Joseph O'Brien won this valuable handicap last year and can strike again with PERFECT PORTRAIT. Only beaten three lengths in a Group 3 at the Curragh in October, the daughter of Zoffany got off the mark on her second start of the season at Gowran before finishing sixth in a Listed race at Naas. The latter contest didn't look the deepest for the grade at the time but the winner went on to be placed in the Irish Oaks and this represents a fair drop in class for the selection. Siobhan Rutledge picks up a notable ride for Jessica Harrington on Starry Heavens who was an impressive Curragh maiden winner in the autumn but has been lacklustre in three starts this term. Only two lengths off Perfect Portrait in the aforementioned Curragh Group 3, she gets a handy 13lb from that rival now. Signora Bellissima often makes the running and has finished first and second when ridden that way in Leopardstown handicaps this season. Not at her best the last twice, she may be able to bounce back at a venue that suits prominent racers.

PERFECT PORTRAIT probably needs to improve to make a winning handicap debut bur she represents an excellent yard and her effort in listed company last time was a personal best. Lizzy's Filly should also have more to offer and she's a threat, along with the thriving-fully Golden Spangle.

A chance is taken on NO NIKI NO, who has been running well over shorter lately but had form over 1m4f in France.

Half-sister to 1m winner Garrick Painter and 2-y-o 6f winner Groszek. Dam, maiden (stayed 7f), sister to useful 2-y-o 6f winner (stayed 1m) Terror. Interesting newcomer. 170,000euros 2yo; half-sister to two winners; likely one for further down the line.
3	1 3rd (1) (0.53/1 +27%) Dubai Treasure	0.53 0.53/1(+27%)	(1) Dubai Treasure 0.53/1, Promising type. Second of 10 in maiden at Newmarket (6f, good to firm, 7/1) on debut 27 days ago. Sets a good standard and there's more to come, so clearly the one to beat. Debut Newmarket 2nd has been handsomely franked; obvious chance if handling slower ground.
4	7 4th (7) (16/1 +0%) Suicide Blonde	16 16/1(+0%)	(7) Suicide Blonde 16/1, Once-raced filly. Seventh of 10 in maiden at Newmarket (6f, good to firm, 14/1) on debut 27 days ago. Much more required. Only seventh of ten in Newmarket maiden in which Dubai Treasure finished second on debut.

Should have learned plenty from that educational start, so likely to be on the premises. Promise amidst inexperience when midfield at Newmarket (7f) last month; can do much better.
6th	8 6th (8) (200/1 -300%) Urban Love	200 200/1(-300%)	(8) Urban Love 200/1, Foaled April 11. Street Sense filly. Half-sister to useful 7f winner Golden Spice. Unllikely to be fully wound up first time out. Bred to have a future but stable yet to hit the target with 2yos this season.
7th	3 7th (3) (5/1 +64%) Fariha	5 5/1(+64%)	(3) Fariha 5/1, Foaled February 8. Shamardal filly. Half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Al Mubhir and 1m winner Dubawi Warrior. Dam winner up to 9f (2-y-o 7f winner). One to take seriously on debut. Half-sister to two winners out of Group 3 winner; useful standard to aim at; check market.

Dam unraced, half-sister to smart 5f winner Tournedos. Interesting newcomer for shrewd connections. 150,000euros 2yo; half-sister to two winners but likely one for later on.

LTO Selection:

With very little form to go on, DUBAI TREASURE stands out after the daughter of Exceed And Excel was a promising second at Newmarket on her debut. The winner had an experience edge that day and has won again since to frank the form, and any improvement may see her get off the mark. Queen's Guard was sent off favourite on her Doncaster debut before weakening into fourth and she may do better now, while Urban Love looks an interesting newcomer.

DUBAI TREASURE's debut second is working out extremely well and she's likely to improve from it, so she's an obvious choice to open her account at the second attempt. Fariha makes plenty of appeal on paper and Run For The Sun is another notable newcomer considering how much her price rose from foal to 2yo.

Queen's Guard can step up on her debut form but DUBAI TREASURE ran well in a hot Newmarket maiden on debut and can go one better.

Dam, 9.5f winner, half-sister to very smart winner up to 1½m Royal Bench. Appealing type on paper, though yard's runners often come on for the experience. Something to like on pedigree and holds a Group 2 Champagne Stakes entry; watch market.

Dam, French 11.5f winner, half-sister to useful 1m-1¼m winner Legionario. Some encouragement on paper, though makes debut in hot-looking contest and others make more appeal. Enough appeal on pedigree to make him worth monitoring in the market.

LTO Selection:

Quatre Bras was out of his depth in Group 2 company last time but the son of Sea The Stars was not beaten far on debut and clearly sets the standard at this level. However, a chance can be taken with CLASSIC ENCOUNTER, who lacks race experience but his dam won a Grade 1 in the US and he is a half-brother to the Listed-placed First Ruler. Miletus is another well-related newcomer who merits consideration.

CLASSIC ENCOUNTER, a Shamardal colt out of a Grade 1-winning half-sister to Ghaiyyath, possesses an outstanding pedigree and despite being drawn widest on debut, is taken to make a successful debut. Fellow newcomer Miletus also warrants plenty of respect, whilst Quatre Bras can build on his encouraging debut effort back in more realistic company.

Preference is for MILETUS, who is attractively bred and whose Champagne Stakes entry suggests he is held in some regard.

LTO Selection:

CARDINAL ZIN was an eye-catcher in Leopardstown, after being backed at fancy prices, and appeals on his second start. The penny really dropped in the final furlong as he ran on well for seventh, and there should be considerable improvement to come. The runner-up in that race came out and landed a Galway maiden in decisive fashion. Kiki Roberts didn't have a clear run inside the final furlong of a Bellewstown maiden before finishing third, so has to rate a danger. King Of Gosford showed improvement to finish fourth in Down Royal and avails of the best draw in stall one. Si Senior isn't out of it while the three newcomers - Mctenett, Spanish Battleship and Seskin Road - are well worth checking for market strength.

CARDINAL ZIN offered something to work on when better than mid-field in a 18-runner maiden at Leopardstown 3 weeks ago so could be the answer. Mctenett is a newcomer to note, while Kiki Roberts has the best form, though the drop in trip may not be ideal.

This looks open. KING OF GOSFORD has obtained useful experience in two runs over further and may prove equal to the task.

In good form until coming in only eighth of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (11.9f, soft, 17/2) 18 days ago, slowly away. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Sort to bounce back. Penultimate run was solid enough but ran poorly upped to 1m4f latest; headgear on now.

LTO Selection:

Emperor's Clothes is hard to ignore after placing on both of his starts to date but he has to give 5lb to SINDRI, which may make the difference. Fourth at Kempton on her debut, she set the pace that day before weakening late on and Michael Bell's filly should be suited by this drop in trip. Between The Covers is another to consider after her Lingfield third and she could also mount a challenge.

SINDRI made a promising start when fourth at Kempton and Michael Bell's New Approach filly is fancied to build on it and go in at the chief expense of Owners Dream, who is taken to bounce back from a below-par Doncaster handicap run now returned to maiden company. Emperor's Clothes can't be discounted either on the back of his good Wolverhampton second.

Unexposed fillies Between The Covers and SINDRI may fight this out and the selection is open to plenty of improvement.

3	9 3rd (9) (18/1 -13%) Swift Victory	18 18/1(-13%)	(9) Swift Victory 18/1, Last of 10 in maiden (10/1) at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) on debut 26 days ago. Significantly more is required. Last of ten on his Newmarket debut last month; needs to find a good deal more.
4	1 4th (1) (2.25/1 +44%) Crimson Road	2.25 2.25/1(+44%)	(1) Crimson Road 2.25/1, Promising type. Fourth of 9 in maiden at Salisbury (7f, good to firm, 6/1) on debut 42 days ago. Should progress. Very much one to consider. Fourth on his Salisbury debut in June; may appreciate further but still enters reckoning.
5th	7 5th (7) (12/1 -9%) Royal Tapestry	12 12/1(-9%)	(7) Royal Tapestry 12/1, Foaled April 20. Too Darn Hot colt. Closely related to useful 1½m winner Great Esteem and half-brother to smart 1m-1¼m winner Broderie and useful 7f winner Thread of Silver. Dam 1m winner. In good hands so needs considering on his first run. Enough to like on pedigree and stable often gets them ready first time.
6th	10 6th (10) (12/1 +25%) Tasmanian Legend	12 12/1(+25%)	(10) Tasmanian Legend 12/1, Went backwards from debut fifth when seventh of 14 in minor event at Doncaster (7f, soft, 11/2) 18 days ago. Not written off. Some promise on his debut, but didn't improve next time; half-brother to two AW winners.
7th	4 7th (4) (1.2/1 -20%) Important Role	1.2 1.2/1(-20%)	(4) Important Role 1.2/1, Foaled April 18. 625,000 gns yearling, Dubawi colt. Half-brother to US 8.5f winner Wonderful Justice. Dam unraced sister to US Grade 1 8.5f/9f (including at 2 yrs) winner Carpe Diem. Most interesting debutant from leading yard. Much respected on debut for stable with such a good record with 2yo newcomers.
8th	11 8th (11) (25/1 -150%) Test Of Love	25 25/1(-150%)	(11) Test Of Love 25/1, Twice-raced maiden. 9/1, fifth of 9 in minor event at Newcastle (6f) 6 days ago, not knocked about. Sort to do better once qualified for handicaps. Out of the frame in both starts but has shown enough to suggest he could figure.
9th	5 9th (5) (200/1 -300%) Muy Barato	200 200/1(-300%)	(5) Muy Barato 200/1, 12,500F, 2,500Y. Half-brother to several winners, including useful 5f/6f winner Mickey The Steel (by Hot Streak) and winner up to 1¼m Red Gunner (2-y-o 7f winner, by Oasis Dream): dam winner up to 1m (2-y-o 6f winner). Betting can prove a good indicator. Would be a very rare winning 2yo newcomer for the stable.
10th	6 10th (6) (200/1 -300%) Pagan King	200 200/1(-300%)	(6) Pagan King 200/1, Foaled February 12. Cockney Rebel colt. Half-brother to 5f-1m winner Reiver Law and 11.4f-1¾m winner Rushford. Dam 1½m winner. Others appeal more on this occasion. Stable not known for winning 2yo newcomers.
11th	3 11th (3) (66/1 -32%) Imminent Victory	66 66/1(-32%)	(3) Imminent Victory 66/1, Foaled February 19. Oasis Dream colt. Dam winner up to 1½m (2-y-o 1m winner). Market can guide for this newcomer. Pedigree suggests he may come into his own over further.

LTO Selection:

Connections had to part with 625,000gns to purchase IMPORTANT ROLE as a yearling and it would be no surprise to see the son of Dubawi make a winning debut for his in-form yard. Crimson Road was not disgraced on his racecourse bow at Salisbury in June and he is entitled to improve significantly for that experience. Savvy Kingdom is a player based on his first outing but his most recent effort was very disappointing, while any market support for Royal Tapestry would have to be noted.

Charlie Appleby's Dubawi colt IMPORTANT ROLE fetched 625,000gns as a yearling and is bred to be useful so is taken to make a winning start at the chief expense of fellow debutant Royal Tapestry who also catches the eye on paper. Crimson Road appeals as much the pick of those with experience and can claim minor honours.

As with the first leg this may go to a newcomer. IMPORTANT ROLE makes plenty of appeal on breeding and can make a successful debut.

Stable in good form and this mark looks within reach dropped in class. Won a Down Royal 7f maiden and fine nursery run at Galway; has speed so this trip fine.
2	3 2nd (3) (7/1 -56%) Uncle Albert	7 7/1(-56%)	(3) Uncle Albert 7/1, 20/1, thirteenth of 15 in maiden at Cork (5f, good) 84 days ago. This is an easier assignment switched to a nursery. Best maiden runs came on soft ground at the Curragh; faster ground on nursery debut.
3	4 3rd (4) (4.5/1 +36%) Veracidad	4.5 4.5/1(+36%)	(4) Veracidad 4.5/1, Merely matched previous form when sixth of 8 in nursery at Cork (5f, good) 12 days ago. Beaten 3.5l on nursery debut at Cork last time; needs more even off 3lb lower.
4	7 4th (7) (22/1 -100%) Carter Hall	22 22/1(-100%)	(7) Carter Hall 22/1, Seventh of 10 in maiden at Gowran (7f, good to soft, 150/1) 52 days ago. Tongue strap on switched to a nursery. Hasn't shown much in three maidens over further and tongue-tie added for nursery debut.
5th	10 5th (10) (50/1 -25%) Time'll Tell	50 50/1(-25%)	(10) Time'll Tell 50/1, Last of 10 in maiden (200/1) at Leopardstown (7.3f, good) 27 days ago. Back down in trip. Cheekpieces on for first time. Makes handicap debut. Beaten a long way in three maiden starts and is 5lb out of the handicap on nursery debut.
6th	9 6th (9) (8.5/1 +66%) Oak Allye	8.5 8.5/1(+66%)	(9) Oak Allye 8.5/1, Last of 8 in nursery at Cork (5f, good, 25/1) 12 days ago. Back on correct mark this time. Still looked green when beaten 5l on nursery debut at Cork; yard is going well.
7th	5 7th (5) (16/1 -167%) Tiscommonknowledge	16 16/1(-167%)	(5) Tiscommonknowledge 16/1, Eleventh of 12 in maiden (80/1) at Naas (5f, good) 32 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Soundly beaten in three sprint maidens; has to improve even though dropping in class.
8th	8 8th (8) (14/1 -40%) Charles Atlas	14 14/1(-40%)	(8) Charles Atlas 14/1, Seventh of 8 in nursery at Cork (5f, good, 12/1) 12 days ago. Visor applied. Well held on nursery debut at Cork last time and has to find improvement.
9th	6 9th (6) (11/1 -100%) Rock 'N' Roll Kid	11 11/1(-100%)	(6) Rock 'N' Roll Kid 11/1, Tenth of 13 in maiden at Roscommon (7.4f, good to soft, 28/1) 79 days ago. Back down in trip. Cheekpieces on for first time. Makes handicap debut. Best run when 4th on heavy ground at Cork; chance on that form; gelded since last start.

LTO Selection:

UNCLE ALBERT showed plenty of speed in his two maiden runs over 6f before weakening late on. Although he failed to improve when dropped to the minimum trip last time, perhaps the Kieran Cotter-trained gelding will find his level now entering handicap company for the first time. Lia Fail makes a quick reappearance having run with credit when third in a far stronger race at Galway on Saturday. If this doesn't come too soon then the Michael Mulvany-trained filly has to be involved. Veracidad was not disgraced at Cork last time and also warrants a second look.

LIA FAIL performed with credit in a much better race than this at Galway on Saturday and she holds obvious claims. Uncle Albert and Veracidad can give the selection most to think about.

As the only winner in the field, LIA FAIL(nap) looks the most reliable proposition and can score again.

1	6 1st (6) (5.5/1 +8%) Lailah	5.5 5.5/1(+8%)	(6) Lailah 5.5/1, Modest filly. 11/4, bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Bath (13f, good) 28 days ago. Not yet exposed and this represents a slight drop in class. Has shown promise, including C&D, and drops in grade today; unraced on slower than good.
2	8 2nd (8) (28/1 -100%) Send In The Clouds	28 28/1(-100%)	(8) Send In The Clouds 28/1, Modest gelding. One win from 26 Flat runs. Good second of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, good to firm, 4/1) 14 days ago. Should give it another good shot. In fair form at a low level but new trip tonight & he could do with the ground drying out.
3	10 3rd (10) (9/1 -125%) Flammable	9 9/1(-125%)	(10) Flammable 9/1, Respectable fourth of 13 in handicap (11/1) at Bath (10.2f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time and she's unexposed compared to many of these. Well bred but little impact on the track so far; headgear on now down to 0-50 level.
4	11 4th (11) (0.73/1 +58%) Hourless	0.73 0.73/1(+58%)	(11) Hourless 0.73/1, Modest gelding. Very good second of 7 in juvenile hurdle (6/4) at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good to soft) 17 days ago, closing all way to line. Major player back on the level. Flat and hurdle winner and comes here on the up; leading claims.
5th	7 5th (7) (50/1 -213%) Rushmore	50 50/1(-213%)	(7) Rushmore 50/1, Modest gelding. One win from 25 Flat runs. Nineteen runs since last win in 2021. 17/2, last of 8 in handicap at this course (10.1f, good) 28 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time. Others more persuasive. 0-19 for this yard & recent efforts haven't suggested he was ready to strike; headgear now.
6th	4 6th (4) (22/1 -267%) Eljaytee	22 22/1(-267%)	(4) Eljaytee 22/1, Winner here on reappearance in April. Bit below form fourth of 9 in minor event at this course (10.1f, good to soft, 9/2) 21 days ago, though wasn't seen to best effect. Looks ready for this trip. Headgear off. 1m2f winner here on soft in April; less good since; up in trip with usual headgear off.
7th	5 7th (5) (12/1 +25%) Knight Of Kings	12 12/1(+25%)	(5) Knight Of Kings 12/1, Modest gelding. Seventh of 10 in handicap (10/1) at Newcastle (16.2f) 11 days ago. Down in trip with tongue strap back on. Missed 2022 and he hasn't fired this year; should be making an impact at this level though.
8th	2 8th (2) (66/1 +18%) Anger Management	66 66/1(+18%)	(2) Anger Management 66/1, 25/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, good to soft). Off 6 months. Cheekpieces back on returned to the level. Winning hurdler; poor form on Flat; absent six months; easy to swerve.
9th	9 9th (9) (22/1 -10%) Vertical	22 22/1(-10%)	(9) Vertical 22/1, Seemed to fail for stamina when eleventh of 13 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm, 8/1) 65 days ago. Unconvincing but snippets of form that give her claims at this low level.
10th	1 10th (1) (8.5/1 +29%) Analytics	8.5 8.5/1(+29%)	(1) Analytics 8.5/1, Backed at long odds but failed to back up previous form when seventh of 10 in handicap (8/1) at Kempton (11f) 56 days ago. Little solid form but early days and in good hands; stable also run Knight Of Kings.

LTO Selection:

In a moderate contest, it might pay to focus on the pair of unexposed three-year-olds Hourless and FLAMMABLE, of whom the latter is preferred. She kept on well to finish within five lengths of the principals over 1m2f at Bath a fortnight ago, suggesting a further step up in trip could suit, and the addition of first-time cheekpieces can eke out more progression. Lailah appeals most of the remainder.

HOURLESS is a very interesting runner at this level based on his winning juvenile form over hurdles, and in receipt of weight from most, he has a lot going for him. Fellow 3-y-o Flammable has headgear on for the first time and is a threat, along with Lailah.

The 3yos Flammable and HOURLESS look capable of better and the selection looks the safer option.

Similar form when fourth at Hamilton (6f) next time and fared as well as could be expected in the Super Sprint at Newbury last time. Nursery debut.

7th	3 7th (3) (11/1 +8%) John Steed	11 11/1(+8%)	(3) John Steed 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Opening mark is workable based on his Bath debut second in the spring but he hasn't reproduced that form since, albeit latest 6f Ffos Las fourth was a bit better. AW debut. Hasn't built on a promising debut and this trip seemed to stretch him last time.
8th	10 8th (10) (5.5/1 +39%) Mistress Teite	5.5 5.5/1(+39%)	(10) Mistress Teite 5.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Hooded first time, good third of 10 in nursery (4/1) at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) 14 days ago. In frame in four of her five starts, including at Chelmsford, but she isn't progressing.

LTO Selection:

Love Yours ran her best race yet when a four-length fifth here in a novice stakes lsat month and she could go well on her handicap debut for a stable in great form. However, MARIAMNE looks the more sensible suggestion as this looks an easier race than her Windsor fourth latest and, with a 5f Wolverhampton success in May on her CV, she could shoulder top-weight to victory. Fengari is another to consider, although she needs to get home over a sixth furlong on her second attempt at the trip after her midfield finish in a far better race over shorter at Newbury.

In a tight-looking affair the suggestion is SAYIDH KINGMAN with William Buick booked. Mr Baloo has reached the frame in a couple of turf nurseries and should play a part if a wide stall isn't too big of an inconvenience. Ralph Beckett's Love Yours is a potential improver in handicaps and also makes the shortlist.

Another chance is given to MARIAMNE who won at Wolverhampton in May and may benefit from the application of a tongue-tie.

First run for yard after leaving Ross O'Sullivan. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Just a glimpse of ability in maidens over further; cheekpieces added for h'cap debut.

LTO Selection:

JACKIE BROWN can follow up her Fairyhouse win for Tony Martin and Ben Coen. The daughter of Smooth Daddy was always prominent at the County Meath track, so Coen is likely to make plenty of use of his favourable low draw on this occasion. The form of that aforementioned race has worked out well in the interim with the runner-up winning on her next start. Sneddy Eddie finished in front of Jackie Brown when they met over course and distance in May but will find it more difficult to confirm that form from his outside draw. Nonetheless, the locally-trained son of Churchill is sure to be a leading contender. American In Paris was well behind the Tony Martin-trained selection at Fairyhouse but has since gone on to win at Cork so could be an improving type.

JACKIE BROWN confirmed the promise of her previous run when off the mark at Fairyhouse in June. She beat a subsequent winner that day so looks capable of defying a 3 lb rise. Last-time-out winners Spirit of Eagles and American In Paris are feared most.

SPIRIT OF EAGLES overcame a wide draw to score at Down Royal last time and can do so again.

6th	3 6th (3) (5/1 +23%) Regal Envoy	5 5/1(+23%)	(3) Regal Envoy 5/1, Seventh of 11 in handicap at this C&D (good, 5/2) 28 days ago. That was disappointing having returned to form when runner-up at Bath prior to that. Disappointing when fav over C&D last month; earlier form gives him claims; ground a query.
7th	4 7th (4) (18/1 -50%) Amor De Mi Vida	18 18/1(-50%)	(4) Amor De Mi Vida 18/1, Unreliable type. C&D winner. 18/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Chepstow (5.1f, good to soft) 12 days ago, turning it in. Clearly a risky proposition. Form dipped on good to soft last time; needs to dry out quickly for her to win.

LTO Selection:

Mick Appleby often does well with his new recruits and that trend could continue with RAZZAM. The gelded son of Showcasing hit the frame on his final start for Roger Varian, where he was too keen over 6f. If the drop in trip sees him in a better light, the unexposed three-year-old could get back on track. Amor De Mi Vida and Harry With Style must enter calculations, while market support for the Chelsea Banham-trained Munificent would bring him into the reckoning.

CABEZA DE LLAVE left his reappearance run well behind when second at Sandown a fortnight ago and from the same mark a bold bid to go one place better looks assured. Mick's Spirit and Razzam (starting out for a new yard) head the opposition.

Cabeza De Llave ran well last time but HARRY WITH STYLE is on the up and he may be able to register his third win of the campaign.

1	10 1st (10) (3.5/1 +50%) Mistressofillusion	3.5 3.5/1(+50%)	(10) Mistressofillusion 3.5/1, Promising type. 8/1, third of 7 in minor event at Nottingham (10.2f, good to firm) 41 days ago. Boasts a progressive profile and should be well suited by the step up in trip, so one to consider. Twice third behind the same filly since returning; longer trip should be within range.
2	7 2nd (7) (2/1 +11%) Let Life Happen	2 2/1(+11%)	(7) Let Life Happen 2/1, Promising individual. Length second of 9 to Fifth Harmonic in maiden at Carlisle (11.2f, good to soft, 5/6) 32 days ago. On better terms with that rival and debut form at this track has proved strong. Runner-up in both starts including behind Fifth Harmonic last time; 7lb better off.
3	5 3rd (5) (11/1 -10%) Eastern Empress	11 11/1(-10%)	(5) Eastern Empress 11/1, Twice-raced maiden. 22/1, ninth of 16 in maiden at Newbury (10f, heavy), unable to sustain effort. Off 110 days. Open to progress. Remains with potential but has plenty to find. Bred to be much better than she has shown and is a sister to an AW winner.
4	9 4th (9) (4.5/1 +36%) Marmara Sea	4.5 4.5/1(+36%)	(9) Marmara Sea 4.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable third of 7 in minor event (6/1) at Newmarket (12f, good) 12 days ago. Others have more potential but she should give her running. Second on Lingfield Polytrack last month; relatively exposed, but has the form to figure.
5th	4 5th (4) (4/1 -25%) Coco Royale	4 4/1(-25%)	(4) Coco Royale 4/1, Promising type. Fifth of 10 in minor event at this course (11f, 10/1) on debut 56 days ago. Likely to come on plenty for that initial experience, so one to note. Just over 2l behind Let Life Happen on her debut here; no clear reason for form reversal.
6th	6 6th (6) (125/1 -150%) Lady Bracken	125 125/1(-150%)	(6) Lady Bracken 125/1, Twice-raced maiden. 40/1, 12¾ lengths sixth of 9 to Fifth Harmonic in maiden at Carlisle (11.2f, good to soft) 32 days ago. Unlikely to feature. Well behind Fifth Harmonic and Let Life Happen at Carlisle last month; plenty to find.
7th	1 7th (1) (10/1 -54%) Fifth Harmonic	10 10/1(-54%)	(1) Fifth Harmonic 10/1, Confirmed debut promise when won 9-runner maiden at Carlisle (11.2f, good to soft) 32 days ago by length from Let Life Happen. Open to further progress, so can't be dismissed. Beat Let Life Happen by a length at Carlisle and 7lb worse off; open to further progress.
8th	11 8th (11) (66/1 -230%) Polar Princess	66 66/1(-230%)	(11) Polar Princess 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 5/1, fourth of 6 in minor event at this C&D, slowly away. Off 91 days. First run for yard after leaving John & Thady Gosden. Others are more appealing. Some ability in three starts for the Gosdens in the spring, but needs to a bit show more.
9th	2 9th (2) (40/1 -82%) Buganvillea	40 40/1(-82%)	(2) Buganvillea 40/1, Holy Roman Emperor filly. Sister to useful 2-y-o 7f/1m winner Rich Legacy and closely related to 1¼m-1½m winner Borneo and half-sister to 1¼m-15f winner Burggraf. Worth a market check. Stiff task on debut but she is nicely bred so worth a market check.
10th	3 10th (3) (100/1 -203%) Caravanserai	100 100/1(-203%)	(3) Caravanserai 100/1, Once-raced maiden. 11/1, third of 5 in maiden at Ffos Las (12f, heavy) on debut 9 days ago, slowly away. Should have more to offer. Well-held third of five on her Ffos Las debut nine days ago; improvement needed.
11th	8 11th (8) (100/1 -300%) Loch Glass	100 100/1(-300%)	(8) Loch Glass 100/1, Once-raced maiden. Sixth of 11 in minor event (50/1) at Lingfield (12f, AW) on debut 22 days ago, not knocked about. One for the longer term. Sixth on Lingfield debut last month, finishing 11l behind Marmara Sea; needs to improve.
12th	12 12th (12) (33/1 +0%) Starlight Magic	33 33/1(+0%)	(12) Starlight Magic 33/1, Ribchester filly. Half-sister to 6f winner Icy Lady. Dam unraced sister to useful 5f winner Verne Castle out of smart sprinter Lochangel. Makes some appeal on pedigree. Not really bred to stay this far and probably best watched on debut.

LTO Selection:

In an interesting renewal, Marmara Sea seems to have chances on her return to the all-weather after a nine-length third at Newmarket on turf and that followed a one-length second over this trip at Lingfield. Let Life Happen is another for the shortlist after coming home second on both of her starts to date and she can also go well, but COCO ROYALE could be the one beat. Fifth and only beaten three lengths on her debut here, she was weak in the market that day and looked the sort to improve considerably for the experience.

LET LIFE HAPPEN was turned over by Fifth Harmonic at Carlisle last time but she's weighted to reverse the form and she shaped well behind a subsequent winner at this track on debut, so she's taken to open her account at the third time of asking. Mistressofillusion is going the right way, so she could pose the biggest threat for all that Coco Royale is likely to step up on her encouraging debut.

A length separated Fifth Harmonic and LET LIFE HAPPEN at Carlisle last month. The latter can reverse the form on 7lb better terms.

1	14 1st (14) (16/1 -33%) Glyde Ranger	16 16/1(-33%)	(14) Glyde Ranger 16/1, Respectable fifth of 15 in handicap at Navan (10f, soft, 6/1) 25 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip.

Booking of Lee a plus so he's very much one to consider. Well beaten second behind an improved sort at Down Royal last time; needs more.
7th	8 7th (8) (12/1 -20%) Bolero	12 12/1(-20%)	(8) Bolero 12/1, Remains a maiden after 20 Flat runs. 11/2, respectable sixth of 16 in handicap at Bellewstown (14.4f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Can give a good account. Several solid runs this season but below that level last time; could be involved.
8th	2 8th (2) (11/1 +8%) Beer With The Boys	11 11/1(+8%)	(2) Beer With The Boys 11/1, Good third of 14 in handicap (28/1) at Ballinrobe (12.6f, good to soft) 16 days ago. In the mix. Third in this last year after winning at Ballinrobe; third at that track last time.
9th	4 9th (4) (4/1 +0%) Folly Beach	4 4/1(+0%)	(4) Folly Beach 4/1, 5/1, won 14-runner handicap at Leopardstown (15f, good to soft) 13 days ago, suited by way race developed. Not taken lightly despite 4 lb rise. Off the mark raised to 1m7f at Leopardstown on soft; should be competitive off 4lb higher.
10th	17 10th (17) (14/1 +0%) Riyami	14 14/1(+0%)	(17) Riyami 14/1, 10/1, creditable seventh of 16 in handicap at Bellewstown (14.4f, good to soft) 34 days ago. In the mix. RESERVE Fine run at Limerick on seasonal debut but was below that level at Bellewstown; reserve.
11th	5 11th (5) (20/1 -11%) Bardo Contiguo	20 20/1(-11%)	(5) Bardo Contiguo 20/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2020. Eighth of 16 in handicap at Gowran (9.5f, soft, 12/1) 11 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Merits consideration if shrugging off latest effort. Solid run at Tramore over 1m4f but was below that level over 1m1f at Gowran since.
12th	12 12th (12) (16/1 +36%) Lissadell	16 16/1(+36%)	(12) Lissadell 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable seventh of 14 in handicap at Ballinrobe (12.6f, good to soft, 10/1) 16 days ago. Shortlisted. Squeezed out at start last time; has to improve but local yard does well here.
13th	3 13th (3) (50/1 +24%) Dreams Fled Away	50 50/1(+24%)	(3) Dreams Fled Away 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eleventh of 13 in handicap at Tipperary (12.6f, good, 50/1) 35 days ago. Others appeal more. Was 8l behind Folly Beach last time; should have improved since but has a bit to find.
14th	13 14th (13) (33/1 +0%) Quiet Desire	33 33/1(+0%)	(13) Quiet Desire 33/1, 33/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Navan (14f, good). Off 11 months. First run for yard after leaving Garry Bernard Caldwell. Handily weighted if ready to roll on her yard debut. Twice ran well on turf for former yard last year, including here in a claimer.

LTO Selection:

Although it took FOLLY BEACH 18 attempts to shed her maiden tag, the Mark Molloy-trained five-year-old has every chance of following up her recent win at Leopardstown. The Golden Horn mare made all the running on that occasion and similar tactics could prove just as effective around this tighter track. Beer With The Boys ran well at this meeting last year but had appeared to lose his way somewhat of late. However, there was sufficient promise on his recent third at Ballinrobe to suggest the eight-year-old may be returning to form. Notturno has been running consistently all season but has often found himself on the wrong side of the draw. From a more favourable berth here, Colin Keane should be able to race more prominently on the Noel Meade-trained gelding.

Plenty are in with a shout so at the likely odds it is worth siding with PINK FIRE LILLY to take a step forward and open her account now starting out with the excellent Emmet Mullins team. Contrapposto figures on a handy-looking mark so is next on the list ahead of in-form pair Virtual Hug and Folly Beach.

Having gone close at Down Royal last time over this trip, NOTTURNO should be able to get the job done today.

Latest win at Brighton in July. 4/1, fourth of 7 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 21 days ago. Came up short in hat-trick bid here latest; this is weaker though and he's a key player.

Ninth of 12 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 13/2) 44 days ago. Blinkers back on. Engaged 8.20 Chelmsford Tuesday. Down in the weights and he has too much ability to discount at this level; runs 8.20 Tues.

McKenna when second of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, heavy, 10/3) 4 days ago, just denied. Obvious claims off same mark. Went desperately close at Lingfield on Saturday's stable debut; dangerous with a repeat.

LTO Selection:

TAMMANY HALL made a promising start for the Phil McEntee team when narrowly denied at Lingfield four days ago. He has become extremely well treated judged on past exploits and this looks a good opportunity to go one better. Bomb Squad ought to appreciate the drop back from seven furlongs and he ranks highly in this field, while Enchanted Night should also be thereabouts.

TAMMANY HALL made a promising start for this yard when just denied at Lingfield on Saturday and has obvious claims off the same mark. Fantasy Navigator and Bomb Squad are feared most.

Bomb Squad should be in the thick of it but GATWICK KITTEN gets the nod back down in grade.

Twomey (hood applied and had also been gelded) when fourth of 9 in minor event at Salisbury (7f, soft) 25 days ago. Needs to get back on the up as he makes handicap debut. Second run for yard; could be an improver on this handicap debut and needs a market check.
2	1 2nd (1) (1.88/1 +58%) Supaspecialawesome	1.88 1.88/1(+58%)	(1) Supaspecialawesome 1.88/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, step back in right direction when seventh of 10 in handicap at Chester (7.6f, good, 20/1) 40 days ago, despite pulling hard. Could build on his latest effort back on all-weather. Last three runs left something to be desired; tried cheekpieces on latest.
3	3 3rd (3) (3.6/1 -3%) Musical Tribute	3.6 3.6/1(-3%)	(3) Musical Tribute 3.6/1, Again ran well when third of 9 in handicap at Leicester (6f, good, 9/4) 71 days ago, despite having not been ideally placed.

4	8 4th (8) (10/1 +9%) Miss Gallagher	10 10/1(+9%)	(8) Miss Gallagher 10/1, Left her reappearance run behind when second of 11 in handicap (8/1) at this C&D 42 days ago. Steadily progressive last year until her final outing of the campaign, so she can give another good account. Back-to-form second of 11 over C&D on latest outing; returns to each-way calculations.
5th	2 5th (2) (3.33/1 -48%) Okami	3.33 3.33/1(-48%)	(2) Okami 3.33/1, Progressed again when winning 6-runner event on handicap debut (10/3) at Chelmsford City (6f) 15 days ago, edging ahead near line. Leading contender with the step up in distance to suit. Last-gasp nature of 6f AW win gives plenty of hope for 7f today off 2lb higher.
6th	5 6th (5) (8/1 +20%) Intricate Pillar	8 8/1(+20%)	(5) Intricate Pillar 8/1, C&D winner. Not seen to best effect on reappearance, but went backwards from that effort when twelfth of 16 in handicap at Newbury (1m, good, 12/1) 19 days ago. Could fare better returned to this venue. Needs a bit better but this return from turf (12th at Newbury latest) will presumably help.
7th	9 7th (9) (11/1 +31%) Exorbitant	11 11/1(+31%)	(9) Exorbitant 11/1, Improved when runner-up at Wolverhampton (6.1f) in May, but not in the same form when last of 11 in handicap (9/1) at the same C&D 29 days ago. Still remains early days, though, as he goes up in trip. Close second of five in novice at Wolverhampton in May but last of 11 on handicap debut.
8th	7 8th (7) (28/1 -75%) Marsh Lock	28 28/1(-75%)	(7) Marsh Lock 28/1, Has finished well held both starts this year, last of 9 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft, 20/1) 85 days ago. First run for yard after leaving J. A. Stack. Irish 2yo form was much better than either run this spring; 30,000gns buy four weeks ago.

LTO Selection:

OKAMI ran on well over a furlong shorter to win by a head at Chelmsford last month and an added 2lb from the handicapper may not stop him following up now upped in trip for the stable who won this in 2019. Supaspecialawesome drops in class after running acceptably without success in better races and he could be a danger to all, while Musical Tribute was only beaten a neck when third over shorter at Leicester and is well worth another try at 7f here.

OKAMI came with a late surge to make a winning handicap debut at Chelmsford 15 days ago and he can follow up with this extra furlong to suit. The main danger could be Musical Tribute, who wasn't beaten far on her latest outing despite racing away from the front pair, while Supaspecialawesome also enters calculations back on all-weather.

Leading in the final strides over 6f last time showed that OKAMI (nap) was improving and likely to be well suited by 7f.

As good as ever when also winning 7-runner handicap (5/2) at Goodwood (16f, good to firm) 59 days ago. Consistent sort should give another good account from 3 lb higher mark. Very reliable on AW and turf; won over C&D last December and at Goodwood on latest outing.
5th	7 5th (7) (2.5/1 +17%) Divya	2.5 2.5/1(+17%)	(7) Divya 2.5/1, Creditable fourth of 11 in minor event at Lingfield (12f, AW) 22 days ago. Significantly up in trip.

6th	3 6th (3) (20/1 +20%) Smart Champion	20 20/1(+20%)	(3) Smart Champion 20/1, C&D winner. Second at Lingfield (5 lengths behind Bashful Boy) in February but has ran below form here both starts since. Becoming well handicapped but has 147-day absence to over come and regular slow starts are an issue. His last win (September 2022) was over C&D off 3lb higher; off since March.
7th	4 7th (4) (50/1 +24%) Sky Power	50 50/1(+24%)	(4) Sky Power 50/1, Pretty useful at his best for Ralph Beckett but went wrong way for that yard last season and failed to beat a rival on stable debut at Newbury (10f, good to firm) 27 days ago, missing break. Significantly up in trip. Best AW form late in 2021; next to no impact on AW or turf since; second run for this yard.

LTO Selection:

Having been narrowly denied at Chester in May, PONS AELIUS made no mistake when winning at Goodwood the following month. Charlie Johnston's colt was a winner over course and distance from a 2lb lower mark in December and the son of Galileo could continue to progress over marathon trips. Arcadian Friend (also engaged to run at Chelmsford on Tuesday evening) hit the woodwork at Lingfield last month and he's likely to be in the thick of things once again. A step up in trip could suit the lightly-raced Fox Vision and he heads the remainder.

ARCADIAN FRIEND was only beaten by a comparatively pacy rival when narrowly denied in a slowly-run event at Lingfield last time and Sir Mark Prescott's four-year-old looks a stayer to stay on the right side of, so would make plenty of appeal if coming here rather than his engagement at Chelmsford on Tuesday. The consistent Pons Aelius perhaps looks best placed to take advantage in the selection's absence, whilst Andrew Balding's handicap newcomer Berkshire Sundance also makes appeal.

Pons Aelius looks easily the most solid candidate but DIVYA has shaped as if going beyond 1m4f could be the making of her.

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.

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.
