14:10 Thirsk Stakes (Class 6) 6f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (12/1 +14%) Flavius Titus	12 12/1(+14%)	(4) Flavius Titus 12/1, Modest gelding. Last of 10 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good to soft, 14/1) 32 days ago. Runner-up in a similar race to this on penultimate start at Ripon but others make more appeal on balance. Second at this level at Ripon in June; ground reportedly too soft latest; needs a revival.
2	2 2nd (2) (2.25/1 +18%) Chester Le Streak	2.25 2.25/1(+18%)	(2) Chester Le Streak 2.25/1, Modest gelding. 15/2, respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 37 days ago. Entitled to come on for that seasonal reappearance and he has a good chance at the weights. Fair chance on last season's best and last month's return should have sharpened him up.
3	12 3rd (12) (22/1 -120%) Red Walls	22 22/1(-120%)	(12) Red Walls 22/1, Modest gelding. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. 9/2, fifth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 17 days ago, hampered. 0-19 on turf. Five-time AW winner, all over 5f; unplaced in ten runs over 5.5f+.
4	13 4th (13) (5/1 +17%) Somewhere Secret	5 5/1(+17%)	(13) Somewhere Secret 5/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Fourth of 9 in handicap (9/1) at this course (5f, good to soft) 14 days ago. That was his best effort for a while and he's in with a shout on these terms. Not found his best for new yard but down into a 0-50 and last time was more promising.
5th	11 5th (11) (18/1 -29%) Red Bravo	18 18/1(-29%)	(11) Red Bravo 18/1, Poor gelding. Two wins from 52 Flat runs. 33/1, bit below form fifth of 11 in handicap at Ffos Las (6f, heavy) 11 days ago. No more than an each-way squeak. Infrequent winner; dropping to 6f didn't help last time and others look safer.
6th	16 6th (16) (22/1 +0%) Made Of Lir	22 22/1(+0%)	(16) Made Of Lir 22/1, Modest filly. Latest win at Ripon in June. 25/1, ninth of 12 in minor event at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Blinkers back on. Needs to bounce back. 6f win in June came at this level; return to sprinting in his favour; one to consider.
7th	3 7th (3) (150/1 -50%) Fighting Chance	150 150/1(-50%)	(3) Fighting Chance 150/1, 150/1, last of 11 in handicap at Catterick (6f, good) 3 days ago. Best to look elsewhere. Poor and exposed maiden who makes no appeal.
8th	6 8th (6) (16/1 +52%) Koropick	16 16/1(+52%)	(6) Koropick 16/1, Poor gelding. C&D winner. Two wins from 49 Flat runs (latest success gained back in 2017). Respectable sixth of 10 in handicap (28/1) at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) 7 days ago, hampered. Looks vulnerable on these terms. Veteran who remains opposable, even at this level.
9th	10 9th (10) (20/1 +0%) Point Of Woods	20 20/1(+0%)	(10) Point Of Woods 20/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 28/1, last of 12 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 37 days ago. Chance if rediscovering old form but not so much based on recent exploits. Two course wins; this year's form is poor but there have been flickers of promise.
10th	5 10th (5) (14/1 -17%) Highland Queen	14 14/1(-17%)	(5) Highland Queen 14/1, Modest filly. Fifth of 8 in handicap at Redcar (6f, soft, 15/2) when last seen in April. Record stands at 0-12 and more needed if she's to get her head in front here. Quiet in the spring and her best turf efforts have come on faster ground.
11th	1 11th (1) (5/1 +58%) Cheese The One	5 5/1(+58%)	(1) Cheese The One 5/1, Modest filly. C&D winner. 15/2, bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, soft) 52 days ago, slowly away. Likely to find a few too good on these terms. Two wins last September, one of them over C&D; quiet for new yard in 2023.
12th	9 12th (9) (8.5/1 +0%) Muatadel	8.5 8.5/1(+0%)	(9) Muatadel 8.5/1, Modest gelding. Twenty-four runs since last win in 2021. Seventh of 8 in handicap (9/1) at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) 12 days ago, slowly away. Place possibilities. Form dipped last time but returning to 6f no problem and he's got e-w claims on 2023 best.
13th	15 13th (15) (20/1 -43%) Loveliest	20 20/1(-43%)	(15) Loveliest 20/1, Modest filly. Tenth of 12 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good, 22/1) 34 days ago. Runner-up in a 5f handicap here in June, and a reproduction of that effort would put her firmly in the picture. Two placed efforts this summer but her form has dipped the last twice; risky.
14th	14 14th (14) (28/1 -75%) Amazing Arthur	28 28/1(-75%)	(14) Amazing Arthur 28/1, Poor gelding. 8/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 31 days ago. Others preferred. Minor promise on fast ground this summer but headgear didn't help last time; vulnerable.
15th	8 15th (8) (33/1 -32%) Mokaman	33 33/1(-32%)	(8) Mokaman 33/1, 12/1, last of 6 in handicap at Ayr (5f, heavy) 11 days ago. Readily passed over. Low-key seasonal return 11 days ago; stamina not assured but this is a drop in grade.

LTO Selection:

John Wainwright has a couple of live contenders in the shape of Muatadel and KRAKEN FLORIDA, with the latter preferred now he tries a visor for the first time. The four-year-old will be having only his eighth start on turf and looks the type to raise his game now he drops back in trip at this level. Recent form suggests Somewhere Secret is another capable of going close, while Cheese The One enters calculations too.

CHESTER LE STREAK can be expected to come on for his belated seasonal reappearance spin over this C&D last month, and while he would have something to prove if the ground is on the slow side, his claims are otherwise pretty strong in a race of this nature. If able to reproduce form akin to her effort in a 5f handicap here in June Loveliest would be a threat, while Muatadel and Somewhere Secret are also worthy of consideration.

An unconvincing bunch. Chester Le Streak is feared but POINT OF WOODS might be worth chancing at the likely rewarding odds.

14:10 Thirsk Stakes (Class 6) 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

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

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (3.5/1 +30%) Simple Star	3.5 3.5/1(+30%)	(4) Simple Star 3.5/1, Won on C&D reappearance in May and followed up at Hamilton. Better than the result when second of 6 over this C&D last time, not getting in the clear until it was too late. Should give another good account. Thrived during May (2-2); didn't get the breaks over C&D (good) seven weeks ago; chance..
2	3 2nd (3) (7/1 -40%) Freak Out	7 7/1(-40%)	(3) Freak Out 7/1, Arrives on a hat-trick after a pair of 1¼m Beveley wins in recent months. Has yet to prove his stamina for this far but he still merits plenty of respect as an in-from sort. Prominent racer; seeks a hat-trick following successive Beverley wins (1m2f); stamina?.
3	6 3rd (6) (3.33/1 +52%) A La Francaise	3.33 3.33/1(+52%)	(6) A La Francaise 3.33/1, Back to best when runner-up twice this summer and shaped as if still in form when 5½ lengths fifth of 10 to Gibside in handicap (5/1) at York (1½m, good to soft) 28 days ago. Another who can't be discounted. Near her peak recently, but has to reverse earlier form lines with Simple Star & Gibside..
4	8 4th (8) (14/1 +0%) Smart Lass	14 14/1(+0%)	(8) Smart Lass 14/1, Four-time C&D winner. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (11f, good, 13/2) 22 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Need to see more. Musselburgh regular (six course wins); low key since finishing third over C&D in May..
5th	7 5th (7) (18/1 -50%) Can't Stop Now	18 18/1(-50%)	(7) Can't Stop Now 18/1, Flat winner in last autumn. Also successful over hurdles at Musselburgh in March and he might have needed the outing after 4 months off when down the field on his return to the Flat at Hamilton (1m) 11 days ago. Flat (1m2f) and hurdles (2m) winner; always behind (over 1m) on recent return to action..
6th	1 6th (1) (3.5/1 +30%) Fairmac	3.5 3.5/1(+30%)	(1) Fairmac 3.5/1, Capitalised on falling mark to land 14-runner C&D handicap (soft) in April. Has run no more than respectably since but is back to that winning mark again. C&D winner (good to soft; same mark) in April; less effective since, inc at 2m at Kempton.
7th	2 7th (2) (5.5/1 -100%) Gibside	5.5 5.5/1(-100%)	(2) Gibside 5.5/1, Pair of 1½m Ripon wins last summer and has improved again this term, scoring at Carlisle and York in recent months. Another good run when third back at York 13 days ago. Should go well again. In fine form; unable to justify favouritism at York (third) recently; still a major player.
8th	5 8th (5) (14/1 +0%) Tendentious	14 14/1(+0%)	(5) Tendentious 14/1, Won over 2m at Doncaster last spring but more miss than hit since and ran poorly on 2m York reappearance 4 weeks ago. Down in trip. Others arrive with more pressing claims. Sole win came at Doncaster (2m) in April 2022; may strip fitter for recent York comeback..

LTO Selection:

Freak Out arrives having notched up a brace of Beverley successes, but, though respected, the step up in trip on this occasion will pose a different challenge. FAIRMAC might not have been the most consistent recently, but he was a winner over C&D from this mark in April and looks certain to benefit from a drop in class. Gibside continues to progress steadily and must enter calculations too.

Quite an interesting opener. FAIRMAC has returned to the mark from which he won a competitive Sky Bet Sunday Series handicap over C&D at the end of April and can bounce back to form. Gibside, Freak Out and Simple Star all arrive at the top of their game and are feared most in that order.

The recent York third GIBSIDE can make the most of a slight ease in grade to score again. Simple Star looks next best.

14:20 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 5) 12f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:30 Brighton Handicap (Class 6) 5f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
13	13 (13) (14/1 +58%) Get Busy	14 14/1(+58%)	(13) Get Busy 14/1, 40/1, ninth of 15 in handicap at Leicester (7f, good) 22 days ago. Back down in trip. Blinkered for 1st time. Mark continues to fall but blinkers need to make a difference on this drop back in trip.
1	6 1st (6) (4.5/1 +0%) Mr Fayez	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(6) Mr Fayez 4.5/1, Belatedly off the mark at Lingfield in June. 7/1, laboured effort when seventh of 12 in minor event at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 23 days ago, merely closing up late. Won at Lingfield (AW) on his penultimate run and had an excuse last time; not ruled out.
2	5 2nd (5) (3.33/1 +5%) Notre Maison	3.33 3.33/1(+5%)	(5) Notre Maison 3.33/1, C&D winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. 11/10, respectable 1½ lengths third of 7 to Kodi Dancer in minor event at this C&D (good) 31 days ago, headed final 50 yds. Should remain competitive. 2-3 since cheekpieces have been applied and she's respected back in a handicap.
3	1 3rd (1) (4.5/1 +31%) Under Curfew	4.5 4.5/1(+31%)	(1) Under Curfew 4.5/1, Twenty six runs since last win in 2021. Eighth of 10 in handicap (12/1) at Bath (5.7f, good) 16 days ago, merely closing up late. 1 of 5 for this yard. On dangerous mark but well held last twice and he's now 0-26 since his last win in 2021.
4	7 4th (7) (10/1 -43%) Battle Point	10 10/1(-43%)	(7) Battle Point 10/1, Winner at Lingfield in April. Had another wind op and was unlucky not to finish closer when fifth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 12/1) 17 days ago, hampered inside final 1f. Won on AW in April but he's finished down the field in all four runs since; headgear off.
5th	2 5th (2) (5/1 +38%) Alfred Cove	5 5/1(+38%)	(2) Alfred Cove 5/1, Sole win from 21 Flat runs came over C&D in May. 10/1, again ran below form when tenth of 11 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good) 16 days ago, blindfold removed late and slowly away. Made all over C&D (off 2lb lower) in May but he's lost his way at Bath in last two starts.
6th	10 6th (10) (7.5/1 +25%) Mr Pc	7.5 7.5/1(+25%)	(10) Mr Pc 7.5/1, Twenty runs since sole win in 2022. Sixth of 11 in handicap (25/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 17 days ago, enduring a wide trip from a tricky draw. Record of 1-30 and he's been well on turf and AW in last two runs; others preferred.
7th	9 7th (9) (33/1 -50%) Perfect Symphony	33 33/1(-50%)	(9) Perfect Symphony 33/1, Latest win at Lingfield in April. Ran badly when sixth of 10 in minor event at this course (6f, good, 22/1) 38 days ago. Others more persuasive. Six-time AW winner but he's 1-36 on turf and was well held here last time.
8th	12 8th (12) (100/1 -52%) Poppyequiano	100 100/1(-52%)	(12) Poppyequiano 100/1, No show in 3 outings so far and tried sprinting for handicap debut. Unexposed filly but she needs a transformation switched to sprinting on handicap debut.
9th	11 9th (11) (16/1 +20%) Alya's Gold Award	16 16/1(+20%)	(11) Alya's Gold Award 16/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. 25/1, wasn't seen to best effect when tenth of 14 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good) 23 days ago, not clear run 2f out. Tongue strap on 1st time. Must improve. Inconsistent 17-race maiden who was well held at Bath latest; tongue-tie now tried.
10th	3 10th (3) (8.5/1 +0%) Boom The Groom	8.5 8.5/1(+0%)	(3) Boom The Groom 8.5/1, Course winner. 50/1, shaped as if needing the run after 5 months off when last of 10 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good) 16 days ago. Has good chance on pick of form. Old-timer who has poor strike-rate in recent years and was last of ten at Bath last month.

LTO Selection:

This could go the way of THANK THE LORD, who finished a fair fourth over this distance at Salisbury last month. He remains rated 3lb above his last winning mark, which came at Bath on his penultimate outing, but Harry Davies knocks 3lb off the gelding's back with his claim and he looks a leading player based on that. Notre Maison reverts to handicapping following a decent third over C&D most recently and is feared ahead of Under Curfew.

Tony Carroll saddles 5 and his veteran BOOM THE GROOM is selected to come out on top having shaped as if the run was needed at Bath just over a fortnight ago. The main threat could be Thank The Lord, who arrives in form and has the services of a good-value claimer on board. Notre Mission and Battle Point are just another couple to consider.

Most of these come with risks attached but NOTRE MAISON has done really well in cheekpieces this summer and she gets the vote.

14:30 Brighton Handicap (Class 6) 5f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:40 Thirsk Stakes (Class 4) 5f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
11	11 (11) (200/1 -203%) Nina Hermosa	200 200/1(-203%)	(11) Nina Hermosa 200/1, Once-raced maiden. 40/1, last of 9 in minor event at Haydock (6f, good to soft) on debut 21 days ago. Hooded for 1st time. Hard to make a case for. Slowly away and finished a tailed-off last of nine on Haydock debut (6f); newly hooded..
1	1 1st (1) (1.1/1 -10%) Rocket Money	1.1 1.1/1(-10%)	(1) Rocket Money 1.1/1, Confirmed previous promise to win won 9-runner minor event at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 35 days ago, just holding on. Capable of following up. Took another step forward when winning narrowly at Beverley (5f); penalised accordingly..
2	8 2nd (8) (7/1 +50%) Toosha	7 7/1(+50%)	(8) Toosha 7/1, Once-raced maiden. 12/1, fourth of 5 in maiden at Sandown (5f, good) on debut 16 days ago, considerately handled. Likely more to come at some point. Slowly away on Sandown debut but hasn't much to find with Reflexion Faite; consult market..
3	5 3rd (5) (8/1 -78%) Reflexion Faite	8 8/1(-78%)	(5) Reflexion Faite 8/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Second of 5 in maiden (25/1) at Sandown (5f, good) 16 days ago, no match for winner. Could improve further, so worth considering. Marked step forward when back to 5f at Sandown (second); the pick for K. Philippart De Foy.
4	4 4th (4) (7/1 +22%) Heritage House	7 7/1(+22%)	(4) Heritage House 7/1, Twice-raced maiden. Seventh of 12 in minor event (11/2) at Windsor (6f, good) 18 days ago. More required. Ran to a similar level in both starts (Yarmouth, 5f & Windsor, 6f); probably needs more..
5th	6 5th (6) (9/1 +55%) Newport Bay	9 9/1(+55%)	(6) Newport Bay 9/1, Once-raced maiden. 17/2, sixth of 12 in maiden at Catterick (5f, good to firm) on debut 30 days ago. Could benefit from that initial experience. Raced keenly and predictably weakened when sixth of 12 on Catterick debut (5f; 17-2)..
6th	3 6th (3) (22/1 +21%) Haumea	22 22/1(+21%)	(3) Haumea 22/1, Twice-raced maiden. Last of 7 in maiden at Pontefract (5f, good to soft, 6/1) 12 days ago. Looks a handicap type. Fared okay at Beverley (fifth); disappointing at Pontefract since; others are more obvious.
7th	9 7th (9) (14/1 -75%) Very Blue Moon	14 14/1(-75%)	(9) Very Blue Moon 14/1, Twice-raced maiden. 50/1, third of 10 in maiden at Beverley (5f, soft) 18 days ago. Claims if she's able to take another step forward. Kept going for longer when placed at Beverley (5f, hvy) last time; others appear stronger..
8th	10 8th (10) (9/1 -20%) Eyes Closed	9 9/1(-20%)	(10) Eyes Closed 9/1, Foaled March 28. €22,000 yearling, U S Navy Flag filly. Half-sister to useful 2-y-o 5f winner Proverb. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner. One to note on debut. 22,000euros yearling; second foal from a 6f juvenile winner (RPR 78); market helpful..
9th	7 9th (7) (40/1 -21%) Stoneacre Girl	40 40/1(-21%)	(7) Stoneacre Girl 40/1, Once-raced maiden. 22/1, twelfth of 14 in minor event at York (5f, good to firm) on debut 56 days ago. Others preferred. Struggled to make presence felt when finishing down the field on debut at York (5f; 22-1)..

LTO Selection:

ROCKET MONEY appears to be improving with each outing and, having scored tenaciously at Beverley last month, there should be more to come from the Karl Burke-trained filly. Additionally, she has previous course experience and sticking to 5f looks to be a good move. Very Blue Moon and Toosha are others to note in the betting, with the former feared most on the evidence of her latest Beverley third.

ROCKET MONEY upped her game to score at the third attempt at Beverley last month and this isn't a strong race on paper, so she's worth a chance to defy the penalty. Newcomer Eyes Closed represents a shrewd stable and would merit plenty of respect if the market spoke in her favour, while Reflexion Fait can't be dismissed on the back of an improved showing.

The form pick is the penalised Beverley scorer ROCKET MONEY, who can hopefully overcome a potentially less favourable draw in stall 5.

14:50 Musselburgh Stakes (Class 2) 5f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (3/1 -71%) Majestic Beauty	3 3/1(-71%)	(2) Majestic Beauty 3/1, Havana Grey filly. 8/11, won 4-runner maiden at Catterick (5f, good) on debut 88 days ago, well on top finish. Difficult to oppose with improvement likely. Clearcut winner of four-runner Catterick maiden on debut; impossible to rule out here.
2	3 2nd (3) (3.5/1 +65%) Cover Point	3.5 3.5/1(+65%)	(3) Cover Point 3.5/1, Soldier's Call colt. 4/1, speedily bred sort finished only tenth of 13 in maiden at Yarmouth (6f, good) on debut 36 days ago under hands-and-heels ride. Open to improvement. Disappointing favourite on debut but with a top stable and ought to be capable of better.
3	4 3rd (4) (2.75/1 +61%) Good Point	2.75 2.75/1(+61%)	(4) Good Point 2.75/1, Blue Point colt. 33/1, second of 12 in maiden at Beverley (5f, good) 34 days ago, running on. Likely to be involved again. Left poor debut behind when close second in Beverley maiden last month; one to consider.
4	1 4th (1) (5/1 -43%) Sankari	5 5/1(-43%)	(1) Sankari 5/1, Ribchester colt. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. 10/3, improved when winning 8-runner minor event at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) 51 days ago, readily. Likely to give another good account. Useful form when winning quite cosily at Hamilton in June; major player.
5th	9 5th (9) (6/1 -71%) Nariko	6 6/1(-71%)	(9) Nariko 6/1, Night of Thunder filly. Costly Breeze-Up purchase failed to meet expectations when only fourth of 5 in minor event at Newcastle (5f) on debut 51 days ago. Worth another chance. 600,000gns 2yo; only fourth of five when warm favourite for debut but can improve.
6th	5 6th (5) (10/1 +17%) Mutasawi	10 10/1(+17%)	(5) Mutasawi 10/1, Magna Grecia colt. Bumped into promising debutant when second of 7 in maiden at Ripon (5f, good to soft, 2/1) 20 days ago. Respected. Second over 5f on two of his three starts; won't be far away if he runs his race here.
7th	7 7th (7) (100/1 -100%) Shatin Venture	100 100/1(-100%)	(7) Shatin Venture 100/1, Foaled April 26. €14,000 yearling, Profitable colt. Half-brother to 2 winners by Belardo, including 1¼m winner Crazy Maisie. Yard not associated with debut winners. Out of a US 5.5f 2yo winner; seems unlikely to meet the required standard on debut.

LTO Selection:

Both Majestic Beauty and Sankari appeal as likely candidates under their respective penalties, but a chance is taken on GOOD POINT. Bryan Smart's charge pushed Queen Mary-seventh Lady Pink Rose all the way at Beverley last month, when giving 5lb away, and any further improvement can see the son of Blue Point shed his maiden tag. Cover Point failed to live up to market expectations on his debut, but William Haggas' colt ought to take a step forward with that run under the belt.

MAJESTIC BEAUTY was strong in the betting and well on top at the line when making a successful debut at Catterick in May and should have even more to offer despite a 12-week absence. Good Point produced an effort much more in keeping with his pedigree when second at Beverley last time and can go well again, with two-time winner Sankari and Mutasawi others to consider.

The answer to this interesting novice might be SANKARI, who won quite stylishly at Hamilton last time.

15:00 Brighton Maiden (Class 5) 6f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
3	3 (3) (2.25/1 -63%) Kandoo	2.25 2.25/1(-63%)	(3) Kandoo 2.25/1, First run since leaving Jack W. Davison when creditable second of 9 in maiden at Bath (5.7f, good, 11/8) 7 days ago, rallying having led until 2f out. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Big chance. Went close on her stable debut at Bath and has leading claims on that form; headgear added.
5	5 (5) (2.5/1 +25%) Sparklight	2.5 2.5/1(+25%)	(5) Sparklight 2.5/1, Fair form when runner-up in 5f/6f novices at Kempton in May. Firmly in the picture on the back of a break. Runner-up twice at Kempton in May and she's respected on this switch to turf.
4	4 (4) (3.33/1 -11%) Nelson Rose	3.33 3.33/1(-11%)	(4) Nelson Rose 3.33/1, Failed to build on her Epsom runner-up effort when fourth of 11 in maiden at Catterick (7f, good, 5/1) 16 days ago, doing too much too soon. Back down in trip. Went off too hard last time and she could resume her progress back at this trip.
6	6 (6) (11/1 -47%) Tara Atacama	11 11/1(-47%)	(6) Tara Atacama 11/1, Foaled February 27. Iffraaj filly. Dam, 5f winner, half-sister to very smart winner up to 6f Steps. Has plenty of speed in her pedigree and needs watching in market on debut.
2	2 (2) (28/1 -27%) Emirates Angel	28 28/1(-27%)	(2) Emirates Angel 28/1, 10/1, sixth of 8 in minor event at Catterick (5f, good) on debut 23 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Looks a longer-term project. Didn't show a great deal at Catterick and she needs to leave that form a long way behind.
7	7 (7) (80/1 -60%) Whitesocksnsandals	80 80/1(-60%)	(7) Whitesocksnsandals 80/1, Foaled February 22. 3,500 gns yearling, Postponed filly. Sister to useful 1¼m-14.4f winner Soul Stopper and closely related to several winners, including smart winner up to 7f Perfect Tribute. Dam unraced. This looks a tough enough starting point and is probably best watched.

LTO Selection:

Only narrowly denied over an extended 5f at Bath earlier this month, first-time cheekpieces could make all the difference for KANDOO and she is fancied to break her maiden now stepping fractionally up in trip. Archie Watson's progressive inmate likely has much more to offer and she can get the better of Sparklight, who has filled the runner-up spot on both career starts. Nelson Rose is another to bear in mind.

On her first start for this yard, KANDOO went as close as she ever has when runner-up at Bath last week and, with first-time headgear applied, Archie Watson's filly gets the verdict to go a place better. Nelson Rose did too much too soon at Catterick last month, so she's put forward as the main danger back down in trip, with the returning Sparklight rounding off the shortlist.

Top of the list is KANDOO, who went close on her stable debut at Bath last week and sets the standard on that form.

7	7 (7) (10/1 +0%) Amayretto	10 10/1(+0%)	(7) Amayretto 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 20/1, respectable seventh of 12 in nursery at York (6f, good) 27 days ago. Needs to improve.
3	3 (3) (10/1 +38%) Fly Pass	10 10/1(+38%)	(3) Fly Pass 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 10/1, below form fourth of 8 in maiden at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 7 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Others more persuasive.
4	4 (4) (12/1 -167%) Kaaress	12 12/1(-167%)	(4) Kaaress 12/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 80/1, second of 7 in maiden at Newcastle (7.1f) 43 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Merits consideration.

LTO Selection:

KAARESS was far from disgraced in the valuable Rous Selling Stakes at York in June, and arguably bettered that effort with a close second in a maiden at Newcastle last time. The Ollie Pears-trained filly seems to be going the right way and she is fancied to get off the mark at the fourth time of asking. Beverley nursery winner On Borrowed Time is feared most, while Amayretto may be the pick of Tim Easterby's pair.

OCEANIC WONDER was pegged back by On Borrowed Time at Beverley last time but the former went off harder than ideal and is on better terms with her old rival, so she's taken to reverse the form in a race that the pair may dominate. Kaaress arrives on the back of an improved showing, so she's also respected.

Ollie Pears has enjoyed a fantastic season with his juveniles, so his hardy Beverley scorer ON BORROWED TIME receives the vote.

Good fourth of 11 in minor event at this course (12.5f, good, 15/2) 17 days ago, staying on late after becoming badly outpaced. Others make more appeal for win purposes. Respectable fourth in recent classified race here but the form is modest.

14	14 (14) (66/1 -32%) Cheese And Wine	66 66/1(-32%)	(14) Cheese And Wine 66/1, Remains a maiden after 20 Flat runs. 50/1, creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at this course (13f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Others have achieved more. Ran quite well here (1m5f) last week but is yet to be placed after 20 starts.
12	12 (12) (125/1 -25%) Star Of Markinch	125 125/1(-25%)	(12) Star Of Markinch 125/1, 50/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (9.2f, soft) 6 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Opposable again. Well beaten at Hamilton on Saturday and now 0-15 under all codes.

LTO Selection:

In a wide-open contest, only a tentative vote can go to TAFSIR. Having won over an extended 1m4f here three starts ago, she went on to repeat the dose at Hamilton later that monthand was a shade unfortunate not to have landed the hat-trick when denied a clear run at Newcastle last week. Jim Goldie's unexposed stayer could have more in the locker back on turf, while Glasses Up appeals as her chief danger under a 4lb penalty. Others to note include Idilico, Myboymax and Marbuzet.

TAFSIR failed to land the hat-trick at Newcastle last time but lost little in defeat and Jim Goldie's thriving filly makes most appeal again. Marbuzet has proved a model of consistency without winning this season and should provide the selection with plenty to think about again, whilst Glasses Up is also respected under a penalty for Monday's Ayr win.

Jim Goldie's filly TAFSIR (nap) might have been unlucky not to complete a hat-trick eight days ago and is 2lb well in here.

8	8 (8) (50/1 -178%) My Chiquita	50 50/1(-178%)	(8) My Chiquita 50/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Leicester in June. Last of 4 in handicap at Yarmouth (11.5f, good, 10/3) 36 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Back-to-back wins in June but she's lost her way in last two starts; needs to revive.

LTO Selection:

PATERNOSTER SQUARE switches to handicapping following a fair third over this distance at Windsor last month. He retains the mark from his penultimate run, which saw him finish a staying-on second over 1m at Pontefract, and the three-year-old can progress further with that in mind. Sun Festival can give him plenty to think about following a creditable third at Yarmouth most recently, while Emma Emilleen is another to consider on her handicap debut.

Preference is for PATERNOSTER SQUARE, who was beaten by a couple of useful prospects at Windsor last time and returns to handicapping off a workable mark. Emma Emilleen and Sun Festival can also make their presence felt.

George Boughey's 3yo GALLIMIMUS has form figures of 11212 over this trip on turf and he gets the vote on his drop back to 1m2f.

Significantly up in trip. 50-1 and never in contention in a 5f maiden 383 days ago; hard to recommend.

LTO Selection:

ANGEL FROM ABOVE got the better of a subsequent winner at Carlisle last time out and the daughter of Galileo Gold is fancied to repeat the dose, with possible improvement on the cards back over further. Mother Mary and Nibras Angel must also saddle penalties for their recent successes and are considered along with Initio, who shaped with promise on his Musselburgh debut last month.

NIBRAS ANGEL, who holds an entry in the Sun Chariot at Newmarket in October, made a winning start in taking fashion at Lingfield so looks up to defying a penalty. Mother Mary had her rivals stretched out in behind when winning a novice at Salisbury so rates the main threat, while Sovereign King is one to note from a yard that has a good record with 3-y-o newcomers.

This may rest between the three penalised runners and MOTHER MARY is preferred to Nibras Angel.

LTO Selection:

Tim Easterby has trained two of the three winners of this race and he relies on last year's scorer Manigordo, who races off 9lb higher. He clearly goes well at the track, but at these weights preference is for YAASER, who was given a perfect ride to get up late over C&D last month and only has 3lb more from the handicapper. He may follow up with Paul Mulrennan keeping the ride, though Bicep has won all three starts here and is pretty difficult to overlook.

JUDGMENT CALL has a fairly solid record this year and is taken to turn around last month's C&D form with Yaaser, who is also likely to go well again. Bicep hasn't fired on his last 2 outings but can't be left out of the reckoning at a venue where he has a 3-3 record.

Preference is for CARNIVAL ZAIN, who enjoyed a very productive 2022, is back on a good mark now and drops in grade today.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
6	6 (6) (3.5/1 +59%) Granary Queen	3.5 3.5/1(+59%)	(6) Granary Queen 3.5/1, Course winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable fifth of 13 in handicap at Goodwood (6f, good to soft, 18/1) 10 days ago, nearest finish. Cheekpieces back on. Each-way claims. Engaged 2.25 Brighton Thursday. Went very close here (7f) on Thursday and she's respected back in trip.
5	5 (5) (4.5/1 +36%) Captain Cuddles	4.5 4.5/1(+36%)	(5) Captain Cuddles 4.5/1, 33/1, good third of 9 in handicap at Ascot (7f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Remains low mileage and can make presence felt. Lightly raced 3yo who still has potential and is in the mix on this drop back in trip.
4	4 (4) (5/1 +23%) Antiphon	5 5/1(+23%)	(4) Antiphon 5/1, Course winner. 14/1, creditable third of 13 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good) 4 days ago. Claims if building on that. Third in a Class 2 event at Windsor on Monday and is respected on this drop back in grade.
2	2 (2) (6.5/1 -8%) Count Otto	6.5 6.5/1(-8%)	(2) Count Otto 6.5/1, Back to form with victories at Epsom (6f) and Windsor (6f) last month. Still has handicapping scope off a 3 lb higher mark and holds strong claims. Resurgent 8yo who has won over 6f in last two starts; big player again in hat-trick bid.
7	7 (7) (9/1 +0%) Bezzas Lad	9 9/1(+0%)	(7) Bezzas Lad 9/1, Latest win at Lingfield in March. 14/1, respectable third of 9 in handicap at this course (5.3f, good) 2 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Two AW wins this year and he was placed here on Wednesday; should go well again.
9	9 (9) (12/1 -50%) Holbache	12 12/1(-50%)	(9) Holbache 12/1, Better than ever when scoring at Kempton (6f) on final outing of last year and shaped much better than bare result when seventh of 16 in handicap at York (6f, good, 50/1) on belated return 27 days ago. Interesting contender. May have needed the run at York on his return but he has some work to do off this mark.
12	12 (12) (14/1 -17%) Aira Force	14 14/1(-17%)	(12) Aira Force 14/1, Good fourth of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good, 13/2) 48 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Others look better treated. Has solid record in handicaps but she needs to find more on this step back up in grade.
13	13 (13) (14/1 +0%) Batchelor Boy	14 14/1(+0%)	(13) Batchelor Boy 14/1, C&D winner. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap (14/1) at this course (5.3f, good) 2 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Four-time course winner but he's not easy to predict and was held here on Wednesday.
10	10 (10) (20/1 -82%) Alcazan	20 20/1(-82%)	(10) Alcazan 20/1, 14/1, 5¾ lengths seventh of 8 to Count Otto in handicap at Windsor (6f, good) 18 days ago. Others preferred. 5yo who is more potent on AW and was well held behind Count Otto at Windsor last month.
14	14 (14) (25/1 +24%) Major Gatsby	25 25/1(+24%)	(14) Major Gatsby 25/1, Course winner. Below form sixth of 10 in handicap (10/3) at Lingfield (7.6f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Back down in trip. Figures off a potentially lenient mark. All wins have been at 7f and was disappointing at Lingfield last time; down the list.
1	1 (1) (28/1 -180%) Secret Moment	28 28/1(-180%)	(1) Secret Moment 28/1, 1 win from 2 runs this year. Eighth of 11 in handicap (11/2) at Chelmsford City (7f) 33 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Best form has been on AW but he didn't shine in that sphere last time; others preferred.

LTO Selection:

COUNT OTTO can do little wrong at present and the hat-trick could be on the cards for the son of Sir Prancealot. A 3lb rise for his most recent success at Windsor appears manageable and he is preferred to the likes of Secret Moment and Razzam, who made a winning start for new trainer Michael Appleby over 5f at Yarmouth on Wednesday but carries a 6lb penalty as a result . Aira Force and Captain Cuddles are also capable of being in the shake-up.

HOLBACHE looks sure to come on from last month's encouraging York return and gets the nod in what looks a competitive contest. Count Otto and Razzam head the list of dangers.

Plenty have possibilities but the vote goes to the resurgent hat-trick seeker COUNT OTTO (nap). Antiphon is feared most.

10	10 (10) (3/1 +25%) Le Beau Garcon	3 3/1(+25%)	(10) Le Beau Garcon 3/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Visored for 1st time, good second of 9 in handicap (8/1) at this C&D (heavy) 6 days ago, just failing. Big player off the same mark. No win since 2yo days but been threatening, beaten a nose over C&D last week; 3lb well in.
13	13 (13) (3.33/1 +52%) Sugar Baby	3.33 3.33/1(+52%)	(13) Sugar Baby 3.33/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in June. 9/1, good third of 19 in handicap at York (5f, good) 13 days ago, faring best of those held up. Each-way shout. 2-3 over C&D and he delivered a career best when third at York latest; solid contender.
1	1 (1) (8.5/1 -13%) Blind Beggar	8.5 8.5/1(-13%)	(1) Blind Beggar 8.5/1, Latest win at Chelmsford City in February. Creditable third of 6 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good, 4/1) 13 days ago. Merits consideration. Dangerous on his best form and latest Windsor 3rd looks solid; one to take seriously.
2	2 (2) (11/1 -69%) May Blossom	11 11/1(-69%)	(2) May Blossom 11/1, Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Newmarket (5f, good, 15/8) 13 days ago, slowly away. Visor back on and merits respect in her hat-trick bid. Chasing a hat-trick after Class 5 wins at Nottingham and Newmarket last month; respected.
7	7 (7) (11/1 -47%) Nelson Gay	11 11/1(-47%)	(7) Nelson Gay 11/1, 11/2, didn't need to improve to win 14-runner handicap at Newcastle (5f) 42 days ago by head from Dandy Dinmont. Remains on a feasible mark up 2 lb but strike rate on turf (1-21) is modest. Off mark for new yard at Newcastle 6 weeks ago; still fairly treated; drying ground a plus.
6	6 (6) (12/1 -20%) Dandy Dinmont	12 12/1(-20%)	(6) Dandy Dinmont 12/1, 5/1, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good) 17 days ago. Place possibilities. Good 2nd to Nelson Gay in June; creditable runs since; should run his race once more.
14	14 (14) (12/1 -9%) Secret Road	12 12/1(-9%)	(14) Secret Road 12/1, Latest win at Fairyhouse in June. Respectable third of 7 in minor event (10/1) at Limerick (6.7f, good) 49 days ago. Down in trip on debut for new yard and he's not discounted. Improved performer in Ireland this summer; down in trip on stable debut; respected.
5	5 (5) (12/1 +14%) Riversway	12 12/1(+14%)	(5) Riversway 12/1, Latest win at Haydock in June. Sixth of 7 in handicap at Doncaster (5f, firm, 6/1) 35 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Good strike-rate; overraced early when well held latest; not fully exposed just yet.
3	3 (3) (12/1 +25%) Khabib	12 12/1(+25%)	(3) Khabib 12/1, 18/1, below form ninth of 18 in handicap at York (5f, good) 28 days ago. Others make more appeal. Not found his very best on turf this summer but eased in grade & has gone well here before.
11	11 (11) (16/1 +0%) Saaheq	16 16/1(+0%)	(11) Saaheq 16/1, Latest win at Chelmsford City in May. 8¼ lengths eighth of 11 to May Blossom in handicap (9/1) at Nottingham (5f, soft) 24 days ago. In good form prior to that and he's not ruled out. Two AW wins in 2023; below par on soft latest but better than that; still looks vulnerable.
12	12 (12) (18/1 +10%) Majeski Man	18 18/1(+10%)	(12) Majeski Man 18/1, Latest win at Nottingham in May. Thirteenth of 19 in handicap at York (5f, good, 18/1) 13 days ago. Others make more appeal from a win point of view. Two wins in May and back to his last winning mark; quiet more recently though.
4	4 (4) (25/1 -39%) Sparkling Red	25 25/1(-39%)	(4) Sparkling Red 25/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Redcar in May. 9/1, last of 7 in handicap at Doncaster (5f, firm) 35 days ago. Perhaps a shade too high in the weights for now. Yard also saddles Nelson Gay and Havagomecca. Two 5f wins, including C&D; below par latest and no easy task trying to dominate here.
9	9 (9) (25/1 -25%) Havagomecca	25 25/1(-25%)	(9) Havagomecca 25/1, Latest win at Musselburgh in May. Sixteenth of 18 in handicap at York (5f, good, 33/1) 28 days ago. Has fallen to a workable mark and would be a threat if she were to stage a return to form. Talented but often pulls hard; good mark if demands of this race spark a full revival.
8	8 (8) (28/1 -12%) Glory Fighter	28 28/1(-12%)	(8) Glory Fighter 28/1, Latest win at Catterick in June. Eighteenth of 19 in handicap (22/1) at York (5f, good) 13 days ago. Others more persuasive. Failed to fire at York the last twice; headgear now dispensed with; others look stronger.
16	16 (16) (50/1 -52%) Lezardrieux	50 50/1(-52%)	(16) Lezardrieux 50/1, Latest win at Catterick in May. Tenth of 12 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, soft, 12/1) 15 days ago. Others make greater appeal. 6f winner in May; not so convincing since and opposable back at 5f.
15	15 (15) (66/1 -32%) Object	66 66/1(-32%)	(15) Object 66/1, Last of 16 in handicap (33/1) at York (6f, good) 14 days ago. Hopes pinned on the first-time cheekpieces helping to spark a return to form. Struggled on the whole for new yard but easily his best run came over C&D; headgear added.

LTO Selection:

LE BEAU GARCON has yet to add to his two juvenile victories, but the signs have been much more encouraging for the son of Brazen Beau recently. Only narrowly denied over C&D six days ago when fitted with a visor for the first time, he is able to compete from an unchanged mark and must hold every chance of going one better today. May Blossom merits the utmost respect as she bids to supplement last month's quick-fire double, while Nelson Gay, Sparkling Red and Majeski Man round off the shortlist in what looks a wide-open sprint.

It's been a while since LE BEAU GARCON last got his head in front but he failed by a whisker over this C&D in a first-time visor (retained) recently and, turned out again quickly before his new mark kicks in (due to go up 3 lb), he gets the nod. There are several likely dangers, headed by Blind Beggar and Irish-import Secret Road, while the hat-trick seeking May Blossom, Saaheq and Sugar Baby are others that could take a hand in the finish.

Le Beau Garcon is well in and should go close but SUGAR BABY (nap), 2-3 over C&D, is still improving and gets the nod.

1	1 (1) (3/1 +0%) Patontheback	3 3/1(+0%)	(1) Patontheback 3/1, Back to form with a bang with a 4-length success on Newcastle's AW (7f) last Thursday. All wins on AW but he does act on turf and looks well treated under a 5 lb penalty. 2lb well in after emphatic AW win last month but this return to turf is not ideal.
3	3 (3) (3.33/1 +5%) Monhammer	3.33 3.33/1(+5%)	(3) Monhammer 3.33/1, Better than ever when successful over C&D last month and he still looks feasibly treated after a 4 lb rise. Won this race last year. Scored over C&D last month; 4lb rise might leave him vulnerable, but he can still go well.
9	9 (9) (6/1 +29%) The Gay Blade	6 6/1(+29%)	(9) The Gay Blade 6/1, 13/2 and hooded first time, didn't need to improve to win 12-runner C&D classified event (good to soft) last Friday. More on his plate under a 5 lb penalty (due to be 2 lb lower from Saturday). Only due a 3lb rise for recent C&D classfied win; 5lb penalty demands a career best.
6	6 (6) (7/1 +30%) Bulls Aye	7 7/1(+30%)	(6) Bulls Aye 7/1, Unreliable type. C&D winner. Below form eighth of 13 in handicap (12/1) at Ayr (1m, heavy) 11 days ago. Close third over 1m1f here last month; today's drop back to 7f may not be ideal.
4	4 (4) (8/1 +60%) End Zone	8 8/1(+60%)	(4) End Zone 8/1, Latest win at Hamilton in May. 12/1, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good) 16 days ago. Very respectable fifth (promoted to fourth) after racing quite wide at Catterick last time.
7	7 (7) (8.5/1 -31%) Sparkle In His Eye	8.5 8.5/1(-31%)	(7) Sparkle In His Eye 8.5/1, C&D winner. Below par when fifth of 7 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good, 6/1) 23 days ago but he had been a good second over this C&D prior to that. Has much better strike-rate on AW but was close second over C&D off this mark in June.
5	5 (5) (9/1 +10%) Rich Waters	9 9/1(+10%)	(5) Rich Waters 9/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. Yet to fire this season for his current yard this season. Mark on the slide as a result but need to see more before lending support. . Yet to strike form for new stable this year but today's move back up in trip will suit.
8	8 (8) (16/1 -33%) Magicdollar	16 16/1(-33%)	(8) Magicdollar 16/1, Two AW wins at the beginning of 2023. Might have needed the outing after a break when fifth of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, good) 38 days ago. Dual 1m AW winner during the winter but made underwhelming turf return last month.
2	2 (2) (18/1 -157%) Nefyn Dawn	18 18/1(-157%)	(2) Nefyn Dawn 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. 40/1, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, soft) 10 days ago. Claims if he can build on that for his in-form yard. Well beaten over 1m2f on handicap debut but placed over 7.4f since; not yet fully exposed.

LTO Selection:

PATONTHEBACK put in a career-best effort to win by four lengths at Newcastle earlier in the month and although he has a 5lb penalty for that success, he is due to go up 7lb for future contests. There is a concern that the five-year-old is yet to win on turf, but he has placed numerous times, suggesting no issues with the surface. Monhammer won this last year and commands respect following a recent C&D victory, leaving End Zone and Nefyn Dawn to follow them home.

PATONTHEBACK won back to back at the end of 2021 and might be able to repeat the feat as he looks well treated under a 5 lb penalty for last week's comfortable Newcastle success. Last year's winner Monhammer is feared most ahead of John Quinn's lightly-raced 4-y-o Nefyn Dawn.

After hinting at a possible return to form over 6f a fortnight ago, RICH WATERS is sure to be suited by today's extra furlong.

Market check advised. 0-13 but he's on a dangerous mark and has claims if he gets a good pace on stable debut.
1	1 (1) (1.75/1 +42%) Porfin	1.75 1.75/1(+42%)	(1) Porfin 1.75/1, C&D winner who got back on scoreboard when taking 9-runner handicap at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 7 days ago, keeping on well. 5 lb penalty may not prevent follow up. Engaged 5.25 Yarmouth Thursday. Won at Newmarket last week and was good second under a penalty at Yarmouth on Thursday.

Likely to be in the mix. Engaged 4.30 Brighton Thursday. Longstanding maiden who was well held here on Thursday; others preferred.
4	4 (4) (6.5/1 -86%) Bernard Spierpoint	6.5 6.5/1(-86%)	(4) Bernard Spierpoint 6.5/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 7 runs this year. Latest win at Yarmouth in June. Fifth of 6 in handicap (11/4) at this C&D (good) 45 days ago. Warrants respect. Didn't fire in his hat-trick bid here last time but he still looks on a workable mark.
7	7 (7) (9/1 -20%) Bear To Dream	9 9/1(-20%)	(7) Bear To Dream 9/1, C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 11/2, last of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Something to find on form. Dual course winner who had an excuse on soft last time and could be dangerous back in trip.
8	8 (8) (25/1 -25%) Stepmother	25 25/1(-25%)	(8) Stepmother 25/1, 33/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Epsom (7f, good) 29 days ago. Others have achieved more. On much-reduced mark and she ran well to a point over 7f at Epsom last time; not ruled out.

LTO Selection:

BERNARD SPIERPOINT may have disappointed here on his most recent start, but he was an easy winner on both outings prior to that. Daryll Holland's charge looks like just the type that could bounce back to form and he can get the better of stablemate Lilkian and Musical Mystery, who has plenty of potential on his first start for new connections.

BLUEBELLS BOY looks ready for another crack at this shorter trip and can land the spoils. Porfin and Reckon I'm Hot also enter calculations.

The tentative vote goes to STEPMOTHER, who has dropped some way in the weights and could find something extra on this drop to 6f.

Merits plenty of respect. 0-15 for former yard but close 3rd over C&D on latest run; one to consider on stable debut.

5	5 (5) (28/1 -133%) Rodborough	28 28/1(-133%)	(5) Rodborough 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 9 in handicap at Beverley (5f, soft, 16/1) 18 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Must improve. Two handicap runs at Beverley have offered hope of better; 6f should suit.
14	14 (14) (33/1 +0%) Storminghull	33 33/1(+0%)	(14) Storminghull 33/1, Visored for 1st time, first run since leaving Nigel Tinkler when seventh of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 4/1), running on.

LTO Selection:

Spirit In My Soul got up in the final strides over this trip at Redcar in June and although upped 3lb for that victory, her jockey's 5lb claim negates that rise and she could go well again. Ohnojoe gets a further 3lb drop in the ratings despite some reasonable efforts over shorter and he may surprise a few with the return to six furlongs a bonus, but HEADABOVETHEREST may be the one to be on. Only beaten three-quarters of a length at Newcastle despite being hampered at the start, he may have won with a clean start and could go one better now.

HEADABOVETHEREST improved and fared best of those held up when second at Newcastle 8 days ago so, if the pace is solid, he's capable of going one better at the likely expense of the in-form Moulin Booj. Howyadoin, a former stablemate of the selection, is also of interest.

Lady Roamer could do better back sprinting but SPIRIT IN MY SOUL can maintain her unbeaten record for her new yard.

9	9 (9) (5.5/1 -83%) Lady Fox	5.5 5.5/1(-83%)	(9) Lady Fox 5.5/1, Promising sort. 6/1, second of 8 in maiden at Navan (5.8f, good to soft) on debut 27 days ago (first past the post but subsequently disqualified). Has good chance to make amends here. First past the post at Navan on debut; puts her right in the mix here; big player.
8	8 (8) (6/1 +63%) Elda	6 6/1(+63%)	(8) Elda 6/1, Thrice-raced filly. Shaped better than the distances beaten suggests when sixth of 18 in maiden at Navan (5f, soft, 16/1) 90 days ago, faring easily best of those racing stand side. Not discounted. Ran well when sixth at Navan, doing best of those who raced stand side; not one to dismiss.
11	11 (11) (6/1 -50%) Danvers Gold	6 6/1(-50%)	(11) Danvers Gold 6/1, Good second at the Curragh on sole start at 2 yrs but hasn't come close to matching that form this season, again underwhelming when fourth of 10 in maiden at Leopardstown (6.5f, good to soft, 7/4) 22 days ago. Down in trip. Not gone on since promising 2yo effort; too free over 6.5f latest; this trip could suit.
2	2 (2) (7/1 +50%) Beaumadier	7 7/1(+50%)	(2) Beaumadier 7/1, Fair gelding. 9/2, below form when sixth of 8 in maiden at Bellewstown (5f, good to soft) 35 days ago. Hood back on. Others preferred. Best runs have come with ease in the ground; below-par the last twice; chance on soft.
4	4 (4) (7/1 -56%) Double Jabbed	7 7/1(-56%)	(4) Double Jabbed 7/1, Lightly-raced gelding. Good second of 12 in maiden at Cork (6f, good, 11/2) 14 days ago. Should be in the mix again, Five race maiden last seen finishing runner-up to 98-rated winner; player down in trip.
7	7 (7) (16/1 +0%) Different Look	16 16/1(+0%)	(7) Different Look 16/1, Lightly-raced filly. 22/1, very good fourth of 8 in maiden at Bellewstown (5f, good to soft) 35 days ago. Tongue strap back on, cheekpieces on 1st time. Frame claims, though appeals as one who'll prove best over further. Two decent runs for new handler this year; hasn't much to find with Double Jabbed on form.
10	10 (10) (20/1 +39%) Apple A Dey	20 20/1(+39%)	(10) Apple A Dey 20/1, Once-raced filly. 40/1 and tongue strap on, twelfth of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (7f) on debut. Off 8 months. Down in trip. First run for yard after leaving C. W. J. Farrell. More needed. Didn't show a great deal on debut; drops markedly in trip after a break for new handler.
6	6 (6) (40/1 -150%) Zaragoza	40 40/1(-150%)	(6) Zaragoza 40/1, Once-raced colt. Fourteenth of 18 in maiden at Navan (5f, soft, 14/1) on debut 90 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Pedigree an ongoing recommendation and he's in excellent hands so this should reveal more. Never landed a blow on debut at Navan when poorly drawn; likely to be sharper this time.
3	3 (3) (125/1 -25%) Don Miguel	125 125/1(-25%)	(3) Don Miguel 125/1, 40/1 and tongue strap on, offered nothing when last of 11 in maiden at Dundalk (5f) on debut. Off 9 months and has since been gelded. Finished last of 11 in Dundalk maiden in October; off 287 days; may want further in time.
1	1 (1) (200/1 -100%) Tijuana	200 200/1(-100%)	(1) Tijuana 200/1, Modest gelding. 150/1, eighth of 12 in maiden at Cork (6f, good) 14 days ago. Much more needed. Comeback run at Cork wasn't a bad effort but he has plenty to find here.

LTO Selection:

DOUBLE JABBED clearly sets the standard in this moderate contest, although enthusiasm is tempered somewhat by his low draw. High numbers tend to be favoured on this track when the ground is riding soft but nonetheless the David Marnane-trained gelding looks sure to be involved. Runner-up on his last two starts, the MRC International owned runner is good enough to win his maiden. Never Shout Never ran green when behind the Marnane gelding at Cork last time but looks a real threat if handling the softer ground. Well drawn, the Fozzy Stack-trained son of No Nay Never will also appreciate dropping back in trip. Lady Fox was first passed the post on her racecourse debut at Navan before subsequently being demoted. Connections will be hoping for quick compensation with a filly who will have no issues with underfoot conditions.

LADY FOX was only denied a debut win by the stewards, and with improvement likely to come, she's fancied to take plenty of beating on her second racecourse appearance. Double Jabbed has found one too good on his last 2 starts and looks set to fill the same spot again, whilst Never Shout Never took a step forward last time and could have more still to offer.

The drop down to the minimum trip could work the oracle for DANVERS GOLD after she appeared too free at Leopardstown last time

3	3 (3) (150/1 -200%) Chapman	150 150/1(-200%)	(3) Chapman 150/1, Twice-raced colt. 18/1 and hooded for 1st time tongue strap on for 1st time, seventh of 8 in maiden at Windsor (5.1f, good) 13 days ago, slowly away. Modest 5f form in both starts; new trip; hard to imagine he's up to winning today.

Dam winner up to 1m (2-y-o 6f winner). Last of 8 in maiden at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to soft, 33/1) 23 days ago. Very minor promise at 5f on AW and turf; likely to be more effective when handicapping.

LTO Selection:

Fool's Gold boasts an appealing pedigree and certainly warrants a second look on his racecourse bow. A half-brother to the Prix de l'Abbaye winner The Platinum Queen, he should not be underestimated. However, QIRAT is out of a Group 1 winner and a half-brother to the Classic-placed Bluestocking. The son of Showcasing could be worth siding with on his debut. Habrdi is another to consider following a fair run for fifth over C&D last month.

HABRDI was only fifth when all the rage in the betting on debut over C&D 2 weeks ago, but he still showed promise and can put that experience to good use. There are some interesting newcomers on show, notably Champagne Stakes entry Fool's Gold, who is a half-brother to one of last season's leading 2-y-os The Platinum Queen, and Qirat, who is a half-brother to connections' Irish Oaks runner-up Bluestocking.

Although HABRDI was unable to justify his short price here on debut he should be capable of better with that run under his belt.

1	1 (1) (4.5/1 -35%) Fifty Sent	4.5 4.5/1(-35%)	(1) Fifty Sent 4.5/1, Winner at Newcastle (1¼m) in May and good placed efforts on all 4 outings since, faring comfortably best of those who came from off the pace when second over 134 over 1m at Ayr 11 days ago. Much respected back over slightly further. Very consistent on turf since narrow AW win in May; likely contender again.
8	8 (8) (7/1 +50%) Chinese Spirit	7 7/1(+50%)	(8) Chinese Spirit 7/1, Drawn a blank since winning this last year but he has been runner-up 4 times this summer and shaped well enough to think he's still in form when mid-field at Ayr (behind Fifty Sent) last week. Second on four of last six starts but younger rivals appeal more for win purposes.
7	7 (7) (7/1 -56%) Irv	7 7/1(-56%)	(7) Irv 7/1, 11/2, good second of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (1¼m, good to soft) 34 days ago, just failing. Likely to be bang there again if showing up in similar form. Doesn't win very often but went close off today's mark at Nottingham last month.

5	5 (5) (8.5/1 +6%) Jewel Of Kabeir	8.5 8.5/1(+6%)	(5) Jewel Of Kabeir 8.5/1, 12/1, good second of 7 in handicap at Ripon (1m, good to soft) on Tuesday. This is a quick turnaround but the slightly longer trip now could suit her. Back from layoff with two good runs in a visor this summer; respected.
9	9 (9) (10/1 +9%) Non Mollare	10 10/1(+9%)	(9) Non Mollare 10/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. Creditable second of 10 in handicap (11/2) at Newcastle (1m) 13 days ago. Needs to show he can do it on turf. Good second on AW last month, after a break, but has very unconvincing record on turf.
6	6 (6) (10/1 +60%) Cosa Sara	10 10/1(+60%)	(6) Cosa Sara 10/1, Won at Ayr (1m) in May. Placed 3 times since. Not disgraced (beaten under 2 lengths) when eighth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (7f, 16/1) 8 days ago. Back up in trip. Probably won't be far away but may find others better handicapped.
2	2 (2) (12/1 -200%) Zumaaty	12 12/1(-200%)	(2) Zumaaty 12/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in February. 12/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Ayr (1m, good) 18 days ago, never a threat after a slowish start. Didn't run badly last time and is 2lb below his last winning mark but others appeal more.
3	3 (3) (16/1 -14%) Makalu	16 16/1(-14%)	(3) Makalu 16/1, Latest win at Redcar in May. 10/1, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Ripon (1m, good) 32 days ago. Thereabouts. Won over 1m off today's mark in May and has possibilities if suited by new trip today.
11	11 (11) (40/1 +20%) Mollies Hope	40 40/1(+20%)	(11) Mollies Hope 40/1, Drew a blank in 2022 and likely best watched on this return from 8 months off. Significantly up in trip. Tongue strap back on. Won in US in 2021 but unplaced all six British starts, the latest in November.
12	12 (12) (100/1 +0%) Talk Of Charlotte	100 100/1(+0%)	(12) Talk Of Charlotte 100/1, No form. Yet to show any worthwhile form under rules and can't be recommended.

LTO Selection:

Chinese Spirit is the only C&D winner in this field having taken this race last year, but he hasn't won in 15 races since and may have to settle for yet another place. FIFTY SENT was supported before running on into second at Ayr last month. The extra furlong should see him in a better light, and he may be able to come out on top for the second time, while Makalu won off this mark in May and is clearly more than capable of getting involved.

FIFTY SENT shaped well when running on to take second late in the day over 1m at Ayr last Monday and can go one better back over a slightly longer trip. Irv pushed a next-time-out winner close off this mark at Nottingham last month and is second choice ahead of Tim Easterby's War Defender.

Top of the list is FIFTY SENT, who has been very consistent this year and was second to a next-time-out winner at Ayr just 11 days ago.

LTO Selection:

RIVER TARA is one to take seriously on hurdling debut. She built upon a close second in a Kilbeggan bumper to land a Downpatrick bumper by an emphatic eight lengths, and ought to give connections plenty of fun over hurdles. Duleek Street has two runner-up berths in Downpatrick maiden hurdles to call upon and should be heavily involved. Dutch Schultz ran into a very useful horse in Bellewstown, but finished best of the rest in second, while Henry de Bromhead has won two of the last four renewals of this race, so a good run from his Callie Mannon on debut wouldn't be surprising.

RIVER TARA showed progressive form in bumpers and makes plenty of appeal now switching to hurdles for her top stable. She gets the vote, with Duleek Street and Dutch Schultz considered the main threats.

RIVER TARA opened her account in a bumper last time and should be hard to beat if she finds any further progress now hurdling

LTO Selection:

A determined winner at Salisbury off 5lb lower on her penultimate start, MOONDIAL ran with credit at Kempton last time and the return to turf should see the three-year-old at her best. The booking of Luke Morris is another plus and she could have too much for Harry The Haggler, who is likely to be well suited by dropping back in distance. The unexposed Queens Resolve must be of interest on her handicap debut.

HARRY THE HAGGLER may have found the race coming too soon when below his best at Leicester last time and is taken to get off the mark in the finale. Moondial and Queens Resolve are feared most.

Moondial is respected back on turf but the vote goes to HARRY THE HAGGLER, who looks interesting on his drop back in trip.

6	6 (6) (2.5/1 +44%) Prince Achille	2.5 2.5/1(+44%)	(6) Prince Achille 2.5/1, Winner at Carlisle in May. Creditable third of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (12.1f, good to firm, 7/4) 64 days ago. Should make his presence felt. Game winner at Carlisle two runs ago and placed on other two starts this season.
3	3 (3) (4.5/1 +72%) Jamih	4.5 4.5/1(+72%)	(3) Jamih 4.5/1, C&D winner. Creditable second of 6 in handicap at Beverley (12.1f, good to firm, 20/1) 35 days ago, running on. Decent each-way chance. C&D winner last summer and returns here after good second last month.
11	11 (11) (6/1 +67%) Milltown Lily	6 6/1(+67%)	(11) Milltown Lily 6/1, Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. 17/2, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Catterick (12.1f, good) 23 days ago. Looks vulnerable. 20-race maiden; in frame all three starts this season but likely to come up short again.
1	1 (1) (6/1 -9%) Angel On High	6 6/1(-9%)	(1) Angel On High 6/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2020. Creditable second of 8 in handicap (2/1) at Leicester (11.8f, good) 43 days ago, just failing. Needs considering. Close/clear second at Leicester six weeks ago, and remains on a very good mark.
7	7 (7) (7/1 +30%) Marcello Si	7 7/1(+30%)	(7) Marcello Si 7/1, 11/2, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, good) 37 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and he has to enter calculations. In the frame all three starts this season; contender if first-time cheekpieces help.
9	9 (9) (8.5/1 -6%) Ghostly	8.5 8.5/1(-6%)	(9) Ghostly 8.5/1, Won 10-runner handicap (9/1) at Wolverhampton (14f) 7 days ago. Escapes a penalty and he's likely to be on the premises. Escaped penalty for last week's narrow AW win and should be fine back on turf.
12	12 (12) (12/1 +25%) Mad Artymaise	12 12/1(+25%)	(12) Mad Artymaise 12/1, 11/1, creditable 8 lengths second of 10 to Lechro in handicap at Beverley (12.1f, soft) 10 days ago. Will do well to reverse placings with that rival here. Kept on for modest second in recent selling handicap; others appeal more.
10	10 (10) (20/1 +20%) Skedaddled	20 20/1(+20%)	(10) Skedaddled 20/1, Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. 12/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Back up in trip and cheekpieces back on. Others preferred. 18-race maiden; placed over C&D two starts ago but others have stronger claims.
13	13 (13) (22/1 +33%) Robin Goodfellow	22 22/1(+33%)	(13) Robin Goodfellow 22/1, 18/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Carlisle (11.2f, soft) 53 days ago. Something to find on form. Not beaten far on last couple of outings but remains a difficult horse to enthuse over.
5	5 (5) (28/1 -12%) Amourie	28 28/1(-12%)	(5) Amourie 28/1, Eighth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 16/1) 13 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and it's probably best to look elsewhere. Disappointed on AW last month and only turf win was gained off a basement mark.
14	14 (14) (50/1 -25%) Tarnhelm	50 50/1(-25%)	(14) Tarnhelm 50/1, Course winner. Three wins from 76 Flat runs. Forty-two runs since last win in 2020. 80/1, fourth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 13 days ago. Significantly up in trip and, chances are, she'll find a few too good once more. Hasn't won since June 2020 and was safely held on her first two starts this season.

LTO Selection:

LECHRO has to be of interest after the four-year-old hacked up by eight lengths in a selling handicap at Beverley over this trip on similar going earlier in the month. She has to shoulder a 5lb penalty for that success, but will be going up 8lb for future races and that suggests she is 3lb well-in at the weights today. She gets the nod to follow up, but Hamilton third Prince Achille and Wolverhampton winner Ghostly are expected to prove worthy adversaries.

This is tougher than the selling handicap LECHRO landed at Beverley last week but she did the job emphatically and will prove a tough nut to crack under a penalty here, provided she is in a similar mood. Marcello Si gets the nod ahead of Prince Achille, Angel On High and Ghostly for forecast purposes.

Preference is for ANGEL ON HIGH who ran a big race in defeat at Leicester six weeks ago and remains on a very good mark.

Info	Form	Odds
4	4 (4) (1.75/1 +65%) Harmony Rose	1.75 1.75/1(+65%)	(4) Harmony Rose 1.75/1, Useful filly. Latest win at Dundalk in February. Fourth of 6 in handicap at Dundalk (5f, 9/2) 30 days ago. Likely to find one or two too good. 8lb better off Lady Tilbury on last month's C&D second; winning form on soft ground too.
3	3 (3) (2/1 +43%) Lady Tilbury	2 2/1(+43%)	(3) Lady Tilbury 2/1, Useful filly. C&D winner. Latest win here in July. 9¾ lengths seventh of 8 to Art Power in Sapphire Stakes (40/1) at the Curragh (5f, soft) 20 days ago. Looks vulnerable. C&D defeat of Harmony Rose two starts back augurs well although soft ground not ideal.
2	2 (2) (2.75/1 +45%) Master Matt	2.75 2.75/1(+45%)	(2) Master Matt 2.75/1, Useful gelding. C&D winner. Latest win at Fairyhouse in June. Last of 16 in handicap (50/1) at Galway (7f, soft) 5 days ago, worst of draw. Back down in trip. Trainer going well and he's capable of a bold show. Trip too far latest two runs so more expected back down in trip from dual C&D winner.
1	1 (1) (9/1 -200%) Congo River	9 9/1(-200%)	(1) Congo River 9/1, Useful colt. 5/1, good 1¼ lengths third of 11 to Funny Money Honey in listed race at Dundalk (5f), clear of rest. Off 10 months and has to concede weight all round but cannot be discounted all the same. Belated seasonal return and faces tough enough task at the weights.

LTO Selection:

A chance is taken on seasonal debutant CONGO RIVER in a tight knit affair. Last seen when finishing third in Listed company at Dundalk in September, the Aidan O'Brien-trained colt faces vastly different ground conditions here. On his most recent start he had Lady Tilbury behind him in fourth, so should be able to confirm that form off similar weights. The latter has subsequently gone on to win over course and distance but that was on much better going. Having only had two previous starts on soft, it is hard to be sure that the David Marnane-trained filly doesn't handle it, so she cannot be discounted on that score alone. If adapting to conditions, the daughter of Bated Breath is very much the one to beat. Master Matt has been in good form of late so could well put it up to his younger rivals.

This looks trappy and the suggestion is MARIA BRANWELL, who has failed to make an impact the last twice but a reproduction of her near-miss in a pretty valuable handicap at the Curragh in June would give her every chance. Master Matt will be a serious threat if he puts his best foot forward and while Congo River will need to have improved since his 2-y-o campaign if he's to emerge on top, it wouldn't be much of a surprise were this well-bred Ballydoyle colt to raise his game.

A tricky little contest, all with chances. HARMONY ROSE runs well here and handles soft so gets the vote

17:25 Newmarket Seller (Class 4) 7f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
6	6 (6) (0.91/1 -36%) She Is A Keeper	0.91 0.91/1(-36%)	(6) She Is A Keeper 0.91/1, Profitable filly. Runner-up in a Chepstow maiden before running well to fill the spot in 11-runner nursery at this course (6f, good, 5/1) 14 days ago. Will take all the beating. She's up to winning a nursery so looks a danger to all in selling company.
2	2 (2) (2.75/1 +66%) Lambert	2.75 2.75/1(+66%)	(2) Lambert 2.75/1, Due Diligence gelding. Offered something to work on when sixth of 12 in minor event at Yarmouth (7f, good) on debut 10 days ago, nearest finish without being given a hard time. Should have more to offer. Soon dropped into a seller after finishing midfield in a 7f novice at Yarmouth.
1	1 (1) (6/1 -71%) Hadrian's Wall	6 6/1(-71%)	(1) Hadrian's Wall 6/1, Territories colt ran to a fair level when second at Wolverhampton (7f) on debut. Hasn't kicked on either outing since, unable to land a blow when eighth of 11 in maiden at Catterick (7f, good) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces could spark revival in this lesser grade, Last run was poor but not the first two and should be a factor at this lower level.
4	4 (4) (8/1 +11%) Us Navy Jack	8 8/1(+11%)	(4) Us Navy Jack 8/1, US Navy Flag colt offered something to work on when third of 10 in seller at Leicester (6f, good to firm, 8/1) on debut. Similar form when fourth of 5 in minor event at Ayr (6f, good, 18/1) 25 days ago. Bit more likely needed ro score here. Could do with starting his races better but should be a factor returned to this level.
3	3 (3) (16/1 +27%) Lost In Music	16 16/1(+27%)	(3) Lost In Music 16/1, Churchill gelding. Made some appeal on pedigree but was held back by inexperience when last of 7 in minor event at this course (6f, good to firm, 22/1) on debut 7 days ago. Blinkers now applied. Finished tailed off in a 6f novice here last week and connections soon lower their sights.
5	5 (5) (100/1 -203%) Lady Of Africa	100 100/1(-203%)	(5) Lady Of Africa 100/1, Yet to show any ability in 6 starts and is opposed again with first-time cheekpieces applied. Six defeats include a seller; well held off modest handicap marks the last twice.

LTO Selection:

Runner-up on her last two starts, SHE IS A KEEPER could be the one to beat in a weak contest. The most recent of which came over 6f at this track last month and the daughter of Profitable shaped as though she would appreciate a stiffer stamina test. Hadrian's Wall looks to be her most serious danger in first-time cheekpieces, while Us Navy Jack seems best of the rest.

An uncompetitive seller, in which two-time runner-up SHE IS A KEEPER should take plenty of beating for the Richard Hannon stable. Hadrian's Wall has taken backwards steps since his debut second but at least has shown some ability, whilst Lambert wasn't given a hard time on his racecourse bow and could do better here.

It's a tad surprising to see SHE IS A KEEPER relegated to selling company after a decent nursery run here last time.

Creditable fifth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (20f, good, 10/3) 22 days ago. Has good chance on form. Fairly consistent since last year's Listowel win but doesn't seem on a good mark as result.
2	2 (2) (5/1 -25%) Florey Spud	5 5/1(-25%)	(2) Florey Spud 5/1, Remains a maiden after 18 NH runs. 6/1, below form eighth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (21.6f, good) 17 days ago.

3	3 (3) (8/1 +11%) Hot As Pepper	8 8/1(+11%)	(3) Hot As Pepper 8/1, Latest win in hurdle at Hexham in March. Below form fifth of 14 in handicap hurdle (11/1) at Kilbeggan (18f, soft) 21 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Won maiden hurdle in March but struggled twice since; may want return to heavy ground.

Pulled up in handicap chase (12/1) at Kilbeggan (19f, soft) 21 days ago, pulled up before last. Switches from chase to hurdles. Others more persuasive.

LTO Selection:

NAVIGATOR JACK's sole victory came over a similar trip in Listowel last year. His second place on penultimate start in Bellewstown reads well as the winner followed up in Roscommon this week. Navigator Jack was beaten into fifth when last seen in Killarney, but that was in a much higher grade. Florey Spud could bounce back from an underwhelming effort in Ballinrobe. He made no impression in rear of mid-division, however, he sustained a superficial wound during the race. He is better assessed on two runner-up finishes over an extended 3m at this track and over 2m4f in Sligo. He is very much at home on better ground. Star Official is up in trip after being beaten nine lengths into second at Limerick. Reserves Emily In Paris and Brianna Lily would have a part to play if getting a run. The former would be a serious player after winning a maiden hurdle in Killarney on the back of three runner-up finishes.

The vote goes to NAVIGATOR JACK, who has been knocking on the door in recent months and he has as good a chance as any in this contest. Star Official produced his best effort yet in this sphere when runner-up at Limerick recently and will be a threat if building on that. Florey Spud is 0-13 over hurdles but has hit the crossbar on several occasions and he is also shortlisted, along with likely improver Mastermacblack.

STAR OFFICIAL arrives on the back of a career best and he shaped like he would relish going back up in distance here

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 (1) (0.91/1 +39%) Unplugged	0.91 0.91/1(+39%)	(1) Unplugged 0.91/1, Looked unlucky not to make a successful return in May but gained compensation in straightforward fashion in an amateur jockeys' handicap at Haydock (11.6f) in June. Defied a 3 lb rise with ease when following up back at Pontefract since and he's fancied to be in the shake-up again. Has won under Serena Brotherton the last twice; unproven on slow ground.
5	5 (5) (4/1 -60%) Hot Team	4 4/1(-60%)	(5) Hot Team 4/1, Best effort of the season turned out quickly when pulling clear with the eased-down Temper Trap (who has won again since) at Hamilton (9.2f, soft) 6 days ago. Takes his racing well, so holds major claims of doubling his tally for the season from the same mark. Some good form this summer (including C&D) and Becky Smith is a positive booking.
3	3 (3) (4.5/1 +0%) Lenny's Spirit	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(3) Lenny's Spirit 4.5/1, In good form this year, resuming winning ways under an enterprising ride when making it 2-2 at Newbury (10f, good to soft) just over 2 weeks ago. Nudged up another 2 lb and with no other confirmed front runner, he could get an easy time of things up top. Ridden by Sophie Smith on last three starts, with two wins; strong contender.
4	4 (4) (4.5/1 +31%) Billy Roberts	4.5 4.5/1(+31%)	(4) Billy Roberts 4.5/1, Has slipped in the weights and turned in his best effort since his reappearance when runner-up at this C&D (soft) just under 3 weeks ago. Won this corresponding event 12 months ago and back in headgear for the first time for nearly 3 years, this 10-y-o would be folly to discount. Won this last year under Stephanie Jardeback and good second over C&D three weeks ago.
2	2 (2) (50/1 -100%) Still Standing	50 50/1(-100%)	(2) Still Standing 50/1, Hasn't threatened to win a race in some time and ran poorly with the blinkers and tongue strap retained for his first run over hurdles since leaving William Durkan in Ireland. Back on the level and he looks an easy swerve. Form went the wrong way in Ireland and he's struggled to threaten for this yard.

LTO Selection:

Unplugged seems sure to prove popular as he looks for a hat-trick after wins here and at Pontefract. That said, he has another 4lb from the handicapper now and his form on a softer surface suggests this going may not see him at his best. HOT TEAM ran on well over a furlong shorter at Hamilton last time, leaving him 1lb well in here, and he may go close. Lenny's Spirit and Billy Roberts complete the shortlist.

HOT TEAM pulled clear with one at the top of his game (who has won again since) at Hamilton last Saturday and Patrick Morris' 7-y-o is fancied to go one better provided he can cope with this quick turnaround. Unplugged arrives on the back of a couple of wins in similar events in recent months, so he looks the obvious danger, while 10-y-o Billy Roberts can fill out third spot.

Having won under Serena Brotherton the last twice, UNPLUGGED is taken to land the hat-trick. Lenny's Spirit is a danger.

Creditable 2¼ lengths ninth of 16 to Havana Notion in handicap at this C&D (good, 6/1) 37 days ago. Has work to do. Landed C&D maiden in May 2022 but not in same form since; low weight but needs improvement.

9	9 (9) (25/1 -79%) Art Of Unity	25 25/1(-79%)	(9) Art Of Unity 25/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 2¼ lengths third of 10 to Spirit of Eagles in handicap at Down Royal (5f, good to soft, 50/1) 14 days ago. Bounced back to form latest start, giving it a good go from the front; definite claims.
6	6 (6) (28/1 +30%) That's Mad	28 28/1(+30%)	(6) That's Mad 28/1, Last of 10 in handicap (25/1) at Bellewstown (5f, heavy), possibly amiss. Off 127 days. First run for yard after leaving Leanne Breen. Dropped away tamely when a tailed off last at Bellewstown last time and needs a revival.
1	1 (1) (40/1 -264%) Mount Ruapehu	40 40/1(-264%)	(1) Mount Ruapehu 40/1, 16/1, last of 6 in minor event over C&D (good) 37 days ago but had been second in a Cork handicap prior to that. Set a stiff task last time; definite chance based on runner-up effort at Cork time before.

LTO Selection:

CAVALLO PAZZO very much catches the eye on his first start for trainer Joseph O'Brien. A maiden winner over 6f for Eoin Doyle on heavy ground at Naas last November, the gelding had previously just been touched off over this trip at Navan. Having failed to fire when stepped up to 7f on his only run this season, the four-year-old now reverts to sprinting. Former Joe McGrath winner That's Mad is another runner making his debut for a new yard. The seven-year-old has dropped a long way in the ratings so could be a danger if Anthony McCann has managed to reignite the spark. The Equiano gelding will have no problem with the testing ground. Tamazu, who won his maiden over course and distance, showed he is well handicapped when second at Down Royal recently. However, he does have to prove his effectiveness on the ground.

CAVALLO PAZZO has been the subject of a very interesting trainer change and might be worth chancing, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Tamazu is entitled to strip fitter for his Down Royal reappearance and is second choice ahead of Leanne Breen's Sosallycanwait, who has been knocking on the door lately.

A competitive handicap but C&D winner TAMAZU looks the pick after an excellent effort behind subsequent winner Dun Na Sead back in June

LTO Selection:

MACDUFF's dam is a lightly-raced half-sister to the phenomenal Kingman, as well as the Group 3 winner Remote. The son of Sea The Stars could be worth siding with based on that and is fancied to get the better of Monsieur Fudge, who cost 360,000 euro and is out of a Canadian Grade 1 winner. Broadway Act and Break The Bank are just two others with claims.

A field of juvenile newcomers, and the market will add valuable clues, but Godolphin's BROADWAY ACT, a son of Too Darn Hot who cost 250,000gns, ticks a whole lot of boxes. Monsieur Fudge and Break The Bank were expensive buys as well and are highly respected.

Charlie Appleby has won the past two renewals with colts who went on to register triple-digit RPRs and he introduces BROADWAY ACT.

Makes handicap hurdle debut. Should have more to offer. Some ability in three maiden hurdles, including here the last twice; up in trip will suit.
3	3 (3) (5/1 -67%) Jesina	5 5/1(-67%)	(3) Jesina 5/1, Career best when winning 15-runner handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (21.6f, good, 14/1) 17 days ago, kept up to work. Not taken lightly. Won a Ballinrobe handicap over 2m5f last time; this trip is fine but has been raised 7lb.
12	12 (12) (5.5/1 +0%) Ocean Legacy	5.5 5.5/1(+0%)	(12) Ocean Legacy 5.5/1, Latest win in chase at Downpatrick in May. 7/2, bit below form third of 14 in handicap hurdle at Roscommon (23.9f, good to soft) 32 days ago. Beaten 15l off this mark at Roscommon last time and needs to find some improvement.
2	2 (2) (6/1 -100%) Tango Theatre	6 6/1(-100%)	(2) Tango Theatre 6/1, Remains a maiden after 17 NH runs. 8/1, creditable third of 17 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (22f, soft) 15 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Solid runs over 2m6f and 3m last twice; races off an unchanged mark and can be involved.
10	10 (10) (6/1 +29%) Man After Midnight	6 6/1(+29%)	(10) Man After Midnight 6/1, Good third of 16 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (20f, good, 40/1) 22 days ago, running on late. Can make presence felt. Third over 2m4f last time and this step up in trip should suit, so one to consider.
11	11 (11) (8/1 +11%) Will It Be You	8 8/1(+11%)	(11) Will It Be You 8/1, 11/2, eighth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (24.4f, good) 53 days ago. Beaten 24l off a 1lb higher mark at Kilbeggan last time over this trip; capable of better.

Looks competitive on form. Tramore maiden hurdle winner over 2m5f last year; not a bad run there over 2m last time.
6	6 (6) (14/1 +13%) Dunleer Phoenix	14 14/1(+13%)	(6) Dunleer Phoenix 14/1, 33/1, unseated rider in handicap hurdle at Tipperary (24f, good to soft) 36 days ago. Yet to make an impact but too soon to write off for top stable. Failed to get round on handicap debut last time; can't be dismissed from this source.
5	5 (5) (16/1 +43%) The Last Throw	16 16/1(+43%)	(5) The Last Throw 16/1, Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Tipperary (24f, good, 40/1) 85 days ago, driven 3 out. First run for yard after leaving Mouse Morris. Pulled-up on his last two starts over hurdles and is difficult to fancy.
9	9 (9) (18/1 +64%) Icee M B A	18 18/1(+64%)	(9) Icee M B A 18/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Last of 15 in handicap chase at Killarney (20f, good, 66/1) 88 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Has been poor in a hurdle and chase start this season so isn't easy to fancy.
8	8 (8) (22/1 +33%) Shes My Getaway	22 22/1(+33%)	(8) Shes My Getaway 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 14 in handicap hurdle (50/1) at this course (16.8f, good to soft) 35 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Was 20l behind in a 2m handicap here last time; needs to improve plenty for rise in trip.
7	7 (7) (25/1 -317%) Spring Street	25 25/1(-317%)	(7) Spring Street 25/1, Thirteenth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (21.1f, good, 4/1) 70 days ago but had been runner-up there prior to that. Poor last time but is better than that and tongue-tie needs to have an effect.
14	14 (14) (80/1 -264%) Presenting Beeper	80 80/1(-264%)	(14) Presenting Beeper 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1, eleventh of 15 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (21.8f, good) 29 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. RESERVE. Well beaten on handicap debut last month and has to improve plenty; reserve.

LTO Selection:

TANGO THEATRE ran well in third at Kilbeggan and Limerick, and has a shot at an elusive first track success. This former point-to-point winner should be staying on stronger than most over this staying trip. Ocean Legacy has a course victory in her locker and also won over a trip just short of 3m at Downpatrick in May, so has decent claims. Jesina arrives on the back of a victory over an extended 2m5f at Ballinrobe in July. Previous attempts over further have been inconclusive, but this isn't a deep race. Second-reserve Mr Social showed more in fourth at Downpatrick and takes a further step up in trip.

SARAH BEARA has caught the eye a bit in her qualifying runs and might be able to improve past the likes of last month's Ballinrobe scorer Jesina and John McConnell's Tango Theatre and make a successful start to her handicap career for the Sam Curling yard.

Having shown improved form when third over 2m4f at Killarney last time, MAN AFTER MIDNIGHT can improve enough to score.

Will set a high standard for the rest to aim at if making the anticipated improvement. Staying-on second over 7f at Newmarket on recent debut and he holds leading claims.
1	1 (1) (4.5/1 -80%) Age Of Time	4.5 4.5/1(-80%)	(1) Age Of Time 4.5/1, €800,000 breeze-up buy in the spring. Dubawi colt. Dam, 7f winner who should have stayed 1¼m, half-sister to smart winner up to 11.6f English King. Very interesting newcomer. Cost 800,000euros at the breeze-ups and has to be respected for top team on debut.
4	4 (4) (4.5/1 +0%) Mannerism	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(4) Mannerism 4.5/1, 11/1, third of 9 in 7f course novice (soft) on debut 20 days ago, nearest finish. Looks a sure-fire improver for his top 2-y-o stable. Close third over 7f here on last month's debut and the step up to 1m looks the right move.
3	3 (3) (7.5/1 -25%) Mafnood	7.5 7.5/1(-25%)	(3) Mafnood 7.5/1, Fair form when reaching the frame in novices at Newbury (6.5f, firm) and Salisbury (7f, soft) in recent weeks. Retains potential. Improvement needed but he's shaped as though the extra furlong will help; has a chance.
6	6 (6) (12/1 +40%) Touch The Moon	12 12/1(+40%)	(6) Touch The Moon 12/1, 33/1, sixth of 11 in novice at this course (7f, firm) on debut 58 days ago, making headway once he got the hang of things. Likely to do better. Soundly beaten on debut but this 425,000euros yearling could improve plenty for that run.
7	7 (7) (22/1 +12%) Victory Shout	22 22/1(+12%)	(7) Victory Shout 22/1, 7/1, green when fifth of 7 in novice at this course (7f, good to firm) on debut 63 days ago. Should be more clued up now and can be expected to improve. 350,000euros yearling but well beaten on debut here in June; hard to fancy on back of that.
5	5 (5) (66/1 -32%) Ramaah	66 66/1(-32%)	(5) Ramaah 66/1, 65,000 gns Waldgeist colt. Closely related to smart winner up to 1¼m Beautiful Morning and useful 1¼m winner La Gloire and half-brother to useful 7f winner Classic. Probably best watched on debut. Has an attractive pedigree but makes debut in a warm race and he'll need to be useful.
2	2 (2) (125/1 +17%) Balmanzor	125 125/1(+17%)	(2) Balmanzor 125/1, 66/1, last of 12 in novice at Pontefract (6f, good) on debut 21 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Likely outsider. 66-1, tailed off on debut at Pontefract (6f, good to soft).

LTO Selection:

Whiskey Pete was beaten less than a length on his Newmarket debut and looked the sort to improve for the experience, but Charlie Appleby trained the winner that day and is represented here by AGE OF TIME. An 800,000-euro son of Dubawi and related to plenty of winners, he might well be up to making a winning debut under James Doyle. Mannerism and Mafnood have shown promise and are also entitled to have some say in the finish here.

WHISKEY PETE has to be the call after his very promising Newmarket debut, although a strong market move for expensive Godolphin breeze-up recruit Age of Time would put a slightly different slant on things. Karl Burke's Mannerism may prove best of the remainder.

Newmarket runner-up Whiskey Pete can play a leading role but Godolphin's 800,000euros breeze-up buy AGE OF TIME earns the vote.

LTO Selection:

ANDROMEDA can go one better here having caught the eye on debut when staying on well behind a stablemate at Leopardstown. The Aidan O'Brien-trained daughter of Galileo should be much more streetwise with the benefit of that experience, so should be hard to beat. Enthralling was a place behind in third at Leopardstown but had already had a previous outing. While the Donnacha O'Brien-trained filly should again be a leading contender, she may not be able to overturn the form with Andromeda. Shelaka, a half-sister to two black type horses, is one to note on her racecourse debut. Trainer Dermot Weld introduced a smart newcomer at Naas during the week and his string have been firing on all cylinders over the last couple of weeks.

ANDROMEDA showed plenty when runner-up at Leopardstown on debut 3 weeks ago and shades the vote over fellow Galileo-filly Enthralling, who left her debut well behind when third at Leopardstown. Glor Tire is another to consider.

After getting up close home to finish a head in front Enthralling at Leopardstown, ANDROMEDA is taken to confirm the placings

LTO Selection:

A tentative vote goes to JAYYASH, who cost 420,000 euro earlier in the year and is by the sire of the moment in Siyouni. A full-brother to the German 1000 Guineas winner Txope, he is bred to be smart and is narrowly preferred to Tribal Moon for last year's winning trainer and Washeek, who hails from a stable that have an excellent record with first-time-out juveniles. Native King and Pick Your Battles must be noted for market support as well.

Another field of juvenile newcomers, and again the market will provide exta clues, but the eye is drawn to the Gosdens' JAYYASH, a really well-bred son of Siyouni who cost a pretty packet when sold earlier this year. Godolphin's Tribal Moon ticks a lot of boxes as well, and Native King, a son of Kingman, is respected also.

Tribal Moon and Jayyash are obvious dangers but WASHEEK is the only one of these holding a Group-race entry.

10	10 (10) (14/1 +30%) Time Marches On	14 14/1(+30%)	(10) Time Marches On 14/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Possibly amiss when pulled up in novice chase at Kilbeggan (19f, soft, 10/1) 28 days ago, pulled up around a circuit out. 0-14; encouraging 4th on chase debut last term but pulled up latest and he needs further.

2	2 (2) (80/1 -142%) Corkbeg	80 80/1(-142%)	(2) Corkbeg 80/1, Modest hurdler. Latest win in hurdle here in May. Bit below form ninth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (18f, soft, 10/1) 21 days ago, left poorly placed. Makes chase debut. Dual winner over hurdles here but has lost his way in 3 runs since; tough ask on chase bow.
1	1 (1) (125/1 -150%) Automatic	125 125/1(-150%)	(1) Automatic 125/1, Poor chaser. 50/1, fourth of 6 in novice chase at this course (16f, good to soft) 52 days ago. Up in trip. Maiden hurdle winner in 2020 but has shown nothing since.
11	11 (11) (200/1 -100%) Theblazen Queen	200 200/1(-100%)	(11) Theblazen Queen 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. 100/1, sixth of 7 in novice chase at Kilbeggan (19f, soft) 21 days ago. Shown little in points; minor promise on rules bow in beginners' but poor run since.

LTO Selection:

RIAAN is of interest on chasing debut. This six-year-old gelding won twice over hurdles at Cork and Thurles and is related to a five-time winner over fences, so should have a future in this sphere. Decent ground holds no fears for him. The 129-rated Percy Warner is entitled to be well in the mix. He has been off since coming home sixth in a Grade B novice handicap chase at Navan in March and, prior to that, faced some tough tasks in beginners' chases. Although he has been extensively campaigned on slower ground, he won his point-to-point on good to yielding going. He has also won twice over hurdles. Rexem was pitched into graded company after winning a couple of hurdle races and adds plenty to this race.

PERCY WARNER's stamina was stretched upped to 23.5f on deep ground at Navan when last seen in March and he may well open his chase account now back down in trip on better ground. Chase debutants Rexem and Riaan are both feared, particularly the former who scored twice over hurdles last summer and he was a winner of his sole start between the flags in 2021. Tempo Chapter and Flaming Moon are others to consider.

PERCY WARNER (nap) has already achieved a rating of 129 and Henry de Bromhead's 7yo should appreciate a drop in trip here

5	5 (5) (1.2/1 +20%) Couplet	1.2 1.2/1(+20%)	(5) Couplet 1.2/1, Made a winning start in quite taking fashion in 13-runner C&D maiden last September, staying on strongly. Improved on that form when runner-up under a penalty at Doncaster 10 months later and can go on improving on handicap debut. A win and a second from her two starts; this handicap newcomer is promising and unexposed.
2	2 (2) (5/1 +0%) Jumbeau	5 5/1(+0%)	(2) Jumbeau 5/1, Fairly useful sort who has acquitted herself well all 4 starts this term, latest when third of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good) 21 days ago. Merits consideration. Second/third on last three starts; hasn't threatened the winner but might not be far away.
6	6 (6) (5.5/1 -38%) Quandary	5.5 5.5/1(-38%)	(6) Quandary 5.5/1, Proved a different proposition on firmer ground than previously when opening her account in 9-runner novice event (9/1) at Pontefract (5f, good) in May, pushed out. That form has proven solid and there's potentially more to come from her now venturing into handicaps after a break. Won at Pontefract on third start and she has potential off her opening mark.
3	3 (3) (6.5/1 +28%) Coco Jamboo	6.5 6.5/1(+28%)	(3) Coco Jamboo 6.5/1, Fairly useful sort who has been holding her form well this year, just not seen to best advantage the way the race developed when third of 8 at Newmarket (6f) 42 days ago. Likely to remain competitive. In the first three on all four starts this year but work to do with Jumbeau on June clash.
4	4 (4) (8/1 -14%) First Of May	8 8/1(-14%)	(4) First Of May 8/1, Showed improved form to get off the mark switched to all-weather at Newcastle in December and created a good impression when following up on Wolverhampton handicap debut 5 months later. Disappointed back on turf at Chester last time, though. Two AW wins prior to Chester sixth; something to prove on turf but retains potential.
8	8 (8) (16/1 -33%) Secret Mistral	16 16/1(-33%)	(8) Secret Mistral 16/1, C&D winner who looked a hard ride when fifth of 8 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm) 39 days ago, hanging left throughout. Others more persuasive. C&D winner who wasn't beaten far last time, but may again be vulnerable.
1	1 (1) (25/1 -79%) Noor Bano	25 25/1(-79%)	(1) Noor Bano 25/1, Off the mark in 14-runner maiden at Meydan (7f, good) in February. Shaped as if needing the run on Newmarket handicap debut 5 months on, though the handicapper looks to have taken little chance with her mark on her Dubai form. Meydan maiden winner but merely mid-division on return at Newmarket three weeks ago.

LTO Selection:

First Of May has won two of her four starts, both on the all-weather, and wasn't disgraced last time out when sixth at Chester. She could bounce back to her best but might have to settle for second if COUPLET improves for her first start of the season. The daughter of Zoustar won a maiden here last year and she was clear of the third when beaten at Doncaster on her return, which makes a mark of 79 look generous. Novice winner Quandary could be the one to follow them home.

COUPLET built on her 2-y-o debut win when runner-up at Doncaster last month and appeals as the sort to go on improving for her excellent yard, so she's selected to make a successful start in handicaps from an opening mark that could seriously underestimate her. Jumbeau is proving consistent and ought to be on the premises again, with Quandary another handicap debutante to note.

Pontefract winner QUANDARY (nap) has the potential to be better than her opening mark and is taken to follow up. Couplet is feared.

6	6 (6) (4.5/1 +18%) Warnie	4.5 4.5/1(+18%)	(6) Warnie 4.5/1, Twice-raced winner. Won 11-runner maiden (10/11) at Bellewstown (7.8f, good to soft) 35 days ago by 3¾ lengths from Captain Maverick, keeping on well. Should have more to offer.
1	1 (1) (5/1 -11%) Bremen	5 5/1(-11%)	(1) Bremen 5/1, 4/5, won 13-runner maiden at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Bred to go on improving and looks well worth a try at this level.
7	7 (7) (5/1 -25%) Brilliant	5 5/1(-25%)	(7) Brilliant 5/1, Off the mark at the third attempt when landing a 13-runner maiden at Leopardstown with something to spare. Well-bred type who is likely to go on progressing, so should be involved.
5	5 (5) (28/1 -75%) Democracy	28 28/1(-75%)	(5) Democracy 28/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at the Curragh in April. Seventh of 9 in nursery (11/5) at the Curragh (6f, soft) 20 days ago. Up in trip. Something to find.
3	3 (3) (50/1 +0%) Courageous Strike	50 50/1(+0%)	(3) Courageous Strike 50/1, Twice-raced maiden. Eighth of 18 in maiden at Leopardstown (7f, good to soft, 11/2) 22 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.

LTO Selection:

DEEPONE can maintain his unbeaten record by completing the hat-trick in a competitive race. A winner on his racecourse debut at Leopardstown in May, the Study Of Man colt then faced a simple task when justifying long odds-on favouritism in a winners' race at Killarney last month. While he beat little on that occasion, the form of his initial run has been very well advertised subsequently. Warnie was considered smart enough to make his debut in Listed company at Royal Ascot and while he failed to reach the frame, the Joseph O'Brien-trained colt showed plenty of promise. That experience wasn't wasted on the son of Highland Reel who shed his maiden tag at Bellewstown next time. Brilliant has improved with each run to date so the only filly in the line up could be a threat to all.

DEEPONE has looked a good prospect so far and looks capable of extending his unbeaten record to three up in grade. Brilliant is progressing by the run and likely to pose a serious threat, while further improvement is also expected from Bremen.

A good-class renewal in which DEEPONE can maintain his unbeaten record, although Warnie and Bremen could give him a good test

9	9 (9) (1.5/1 +14%) Finest Leader	1.5 1.5/1(+14%)	(9) Finest Leader 1.5/1, Much improved since upped in trip/fitted with cheekpieces, supplementing his Wetherby victory in 7-runner handicap at Newbury (10f) 36 days ago, driven out. Has to be taken seriously in his hat-trick bid. Unbeaten over 1m2f in cheekpieces; up in grade off a higher mark but progressive.
6	6 (6) (5/1 +55%) First Officer	5 5/1(+55%)	(6) First Officer 5/1, Seems to be going through the motions at present, never a threat when fifth in 11-runner C&D handicap (good) 21 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Finally back to a good mark and last two efforts not too shoddy; now gelded.

2	2 (2) (7.5/1 -88%) Kingori	7.5 7.5/1(-88%)	(2) Kingori 7.5/1, Created a good impression when winning his first 2 starts last September and stepped up on his reappearance despite still looking slightly rough around the edges when second in 10-runner handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 13 days ago. Not taken lightly on turf debut. First run over this far when second to a Prescott improver last time; making turf debut.
8	8 (8) (11/1 +31%) Master Of Combat	11 11/1(+31%)	(8) Master Of Combat 11/1, Successful at Doncaster last summer and was shaping up well on the all-weather during the winter but hasn't quite returned in the same form back on turf, although would have benefited from a stronger gallop on most recent outing at Haydock. Below par last twice; record now stands at 1-14 and he needs to rediscover his spark.
1	1 (1) (11/1 -38%) Whitefeathersfall	11 11/1(-38%)	(1) Whitefeathersfall 11/1, Capitalised on a slipping mark when successful on return at Carlisle (9f) last summer. Disappointed up in grade next 2 starts but did end the campaign with a respectable fourth over 1m at Ripon in August. Stamina to prove but worth a look given he's gone well fresh. Has been gelded. Only 1-10 but the fact that his connections are persevering (now gelded) bodes well.
10	10 (10) (12/1 -100%) Palamon	12 12/1(-100%)	(10) Palamon 12/1, Fair maiden who again shaped with encouragement when fourth in 7-runner handicap at Sandown (8f, heavy) 9 days ago, never nearer. Up in trip and likely has a bigger performance in him. Slow starts are becoming a habit but the ability is there to win off this mark; up in trip.
5	5 (5) (14/1 +13%) Way Of Life	14 14/1(+13%)	(5) Way Of Life 14/1, Brought up a 5-timer at Newbury in May 2022 and shaped as if retaining all his ability after 11 months off when third in 10-runner handicap at Windsor in July, finishing with running left. Not in anything like the same form at Ascot but the softer ground/quick turnaround were possible factors. Tailed off last time but usually consistent; has never won off this high a mark.
3	3 (3) (22/1 +33%) Cap Francais	22 22/1(+33%)	(3) Cap Francais 22/1, Scored on the Rowley Mile on return last season but ended campaign poorly and hasn't fared any better in 4 outings this term, including in a first-time visor at Sandown on most recent outing. Cheekpieces back on. Has plenty of back-class but poor this season, the last twice in cheekpieces and a visor.
4	4 (4) (33/1 -32%) Lion's Mane	33 33/1(-32%)	(4) Lion's Mane 33/1, Fairly useful winner in France but possibly needed the run after 8 months off when ninth of 13 in 1m handicap at Kempton on UK/yard debut 36 days ago. Steps back up in trip now and this will reveal more. Ex-French winner; quiet stable debut on the AW and has questions to answer.

LTO Selection:

A comfortable winner of his last two starts, it is difficult to look past FINEST LEADER as he goes in search of a hat-trick. A 5lb rise for his most recent success at Newbury could prove lenient and, in the capable hands of William Buick, he should have too much for the Newcastle second Kingori. The capable Whitefeathersfall returns from a year off but cannot be discounted.

The combination of a step up in trip and fitting of cheekpieces have worked wonders for FINEST LEADER and he looks up to completing the hat-trick. Fellow 3-y-o Palamon likely has a bigger performance in the locker now stepping up in trip. especially if he can cut out the tardy starts, with the lightly-raced Kingori also respected on his turf debut.

A chance is taken on PALAMON. Slow starts are turning into a habit but there have been other excuses for his two defeats in handicaps.

Switches from hurdles to chase. Up in trip. Won 4 h'cap chases in 2021; losing run since and out of form from low hurdle mark of late.

LTO Selection:

WESTERN COWBOY is entitled to come on plenty from his comeback run in fourth at this track in June. That was his first run for 10 months and this represents a drop in class from the 0-130 handicap chases he has competed in on his last couple of outings. He gets first-time cheekpieces. Top Line Tommy will enjoy this ground and won a beginners' chase at Tramore in June before finishing second in an opportunity handicap chase at Clonmel. He has solid credentials under man of the moment Danny Gilligan. Iridescent put in a good effort to win a handicap chase over further at Downpatrick on his first crack at fences. He's up in class and there is improvement to come in his jumping, but he has a chance. Hascoeur Clermont and Downtown Queen are out of form, but capable of putting it all together.

LE MALIN performed about as well as could've been expected at the Cheltenham Festival in March and he is appealing now pitched into a handicap chase for the first time off a potentially handy mark. Next on the list is Top Line Tommy, who should give a good account back in this sphere following a spin over hurdles last time. Iridescent, a winner of his sole chase start at Downpatrick in June, is open to improvement over fences and is also accorded respect.

TOP LINE TOMMY is a big player after a career best when he was last seen over fences and his subsequent hurdle run is best forgiven

LTO Selection:

Alshinfarah is an obvious starting point and is shortlisted after she comfortably landed a fillies maiden at Doncaster last month. However, that form has a taken a few subsequent knocks and she might be worth taking on now that she faces the opposite sex for the first time. CESTRIAN SPIRIT appeals on pedigree and, given his yard has maintained a healthy strike-rate with their juveniles this season, he shades preference. Remaadd and Wootton's Jewel complete the shortlist.

This has the makings of a strong contest but, based on pedigree/connections, it might be worth taking a chance that REMAADD has enough ability to make a successful start at the likely expense of Doncaster winner Alshinfarah. Grand Karat offered plenty of encouragement at Newbury first time out, so he's another one likely to be involved.

This could go to the newcomer REMAADD, who is from a family William Haggas has done well with. Alshinfarah is second choice.

Visor on 1st time. One to consider on pick of form. Disappointing since promising debut run in March; visor now tried, hard to be confident in.
10	10 (10) (3.33/1 -11%) Toll Stone	3.33 3.33/1(-11%)	(10) Toll Stone 3.33/1, Twice-raced gelding. Third of 8 in maiden at Killarney (8.2f, good, 10/3) 23 days ago. Promise both maidens on sharper tracks; this more galloping track should suit.
8	8 (8) (4/1 +38%) Space Age	4 4/1(+38%)	(8) Space Age 4/1, Lightly-raced gelding. Below form seventh of 14 in maiden at the Curragh (8f, good, 5/2) 41 days ago. Player if bouncing back. Penultimate Curragh second gives him every chance and handles soft.
4	4 (4) (14/1 -27%) Blue News	14 14/1(-27%)	(4) Blue News 14/1, Fair gelding. Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 20/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Galway (8.3f, soft) 5 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Place claims on best of his form but last week's Galway run tame; soft ground not ideal.
6	6 (6) (14/1 +30%) Helter Skelter	14 14/1(+30%)	(6) Helter Skelter 14/1, €7,000 yearling, Elzaam gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful winner up to 1m Felix Leiter. Worth a market check with Colin Keane booked but yard have a proven contender in Space Age.
3	3 (3) (22/1 -10%) I Know I Can	22 22/1(-10%)	(3) I Know I Can 22/1, Fair gelding. Remains a maiden after 25 Flat runs. 17/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, bit below form eighth of 15 in handicap at Roscommon (7.3f, good to soft) 38 days ago. Longstanding maiden likely to struggle back in maiden company.
1	1 (1) (66/1 -32%) Chain Of Destiny	66 66/1(-32%)	(1) Chain Of Destiny 66/1, Lightly-raced gelding. 150/1, thirteenth of 14 in maiden at Cork (10.1f, good to soft). Off 112 days. Down in trip. Back from a break with drop in trip/ground to suit but hard to see him playing major role.
7	7 (7) (150/1 -200%) Palo Duro	150 150/1(-200%)	(7) Palo Duro 150/1, Once-raced gelding. 125/1, fifteenth of 16 in maiden at Galway (12.2f, good to soft) on debut 9 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Lost all chance at the start on last week's Galway debut; tongue tie now fitted.

LTO Selection:

TIME TELLS ALL split too very smart types on his racecourse debut at Navan back in March but has failed to progress in three subsequent starts. A beaten favourite on his next two runs on turf, he then ran below par when switched to the Polytrack at Dundalk last time. Dermot Weld has a good record with horses sporting first-time headgear so the Sea The Stars gelding is given another chance now that he wears a visor. First Gentleman has been placed on all four maiden runs to date but similar to the Weld runner, he doesn't appear to be progressing. However, off a mark of 80, the Jessica Harrington-trained gelding looks to hold strong claims. Space Age has shown enough from limited opportunities to suggest he is also capable of getting involved for trainer John Joseph Murphy.

FIRST GENTLEMAN, Space Age and Time Tells All need to shrug off a below-par run but they are the ones to beat on their best form, and they are preferred in that order.

Although not guaranteed to stay FIRST GENTLEMAN gets the vote back on soft ground

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 (1) (2.5/1 -25%) Kimnkate	2.5 2.5/1(-25%)	(1) Kimnkate 2.5/1, Hasn't looked back since blinkered, making it 3 wins from 4 starts when merely kept up to her work to see off 6 rivals at Doncaster (7f, firm) last month. Found only one too good (who had the benefit of the rail) at Epsom 8 days ago and she looks sure to be in the mix. Consistent in five runs since blinkered but has got herself high in the weights.
8	8 (8) (3/1 +50%) Astral Spirit	3 3/1(+50%)	(8) Astral Spirit 3/1, Doesn't look progressive but she's run to a fair level on all 4 starts to date, latest when runner-up in Yarmouth maiden (8f, good) last month. Makes handicap bow and others appeal more for in purposes. Latest second behind an odds-on chance is perhaps flattering as had the run of things.
3	3 (3) (6/1 +33%) Canadiansmokeshow	6 6/1(+33%)	(3) Canadiansmokeshow 6/1, Found a bit of progression in a first-time hood when getting off the mark back in maiden company at Brighton (8f, good) just over 6 weeks ago. Back into a more competitive environment here but she could kick on now up and running. Settled better in the hood at Brighton and came through to win well; up a fair 4lb.
9	9 (9) (6.5/1 +54%) Fools And Horses	6.5 6.5/1(+54%)	(9) Fools And Horses 6.5/1, Made a low-key return/handicap debut at Haydock in April and ran creditably back on all-weather after a further 3 months off when sixth at Wolverhampton (7.2f) last month. Likely to find a few too strong. Under 3l away at Wolverhampton (7f) last time and it's still early days.
10	10 (10) (8/1 -60%) Bonkersinabundance	8 8/1(-60%)	(10) Bonkersinabundance 8/1, Found improvement for the step up in trip when winning 7-runner handicap at Brighton (7f, good) a month ago. Expected to be bang there from 4 lb higher mark. Engaged 2.25 Brighton Thursday. Both wins at Brighton but she was out of the money there yesterday.
7	7 (7) (8/1 +0%) Honeymooner	8 8/1(+0%)	(7) Honeymooner 8/1, Opened her account at Windsor in July. 3/1, didn't have much go right but shaped as if still in form when 3 lengths fourth to Bonkersinabundance at Brighton (7f, good) a month ago. Solid place claims. 8lb higher than for Windsor win but remains of interest; had excuses last time.
5	5 (5) (9/1 +55%) Eponina	9 9/1(+55%)	(5) Eponina 9/1, Nottingham winner in June and was unsurprisingly below form having a rare attempt at sprinting at Leicester (6f, good to firm) just under 5 weeks ago. Better showing anticipated despite being 3 times older than all her rivals. Ten-time winner who was running well before finding 6f too sharp a test last time.
6	6 (6) (40/1 -60%) Comedian Leader	40 40/1(-60%)	(6) Comedian Leader 40/1, Four wins on the all-weather earlier this year and entitled to strip fitter for recent seventh at Wolverhampton (7.2f) last month. Others make more appeal nonetheless. She's lost her way a little and others look more likely winners of this.

LTO Selection:

KIMNKATE found only another progressive rival too strong at Epsom last week and the slight ease in grade could enable Richard Hughes' filly to regain the winning thread. Astral Spirit starts life in handicap company off what looks a fair mark and the three-year-old may emerge as the biggest threat to the selection. Canadiansmokeshow appeared to improve in a first-time hood when landing a maiden contest at Brighton in June and shouldn't be underestimated now back in this sphere.

This can go the way of KIMNKATE, who hasn't looked back since being blinkered and Richard Hughes' 3-y-o can register a fourth success in her last 6 outings. Bonkersinabundance found improvement for the step up in trip when scoring at Brighton last month and she could be the one to give the selection most to think about, with Honeymooner and Canadiansmokeshow another couple fancied to go well.

It took a while to fulfil her flashes of good form at two but Brighton winner CANADIANSMOKESHOW (nap) could well progress further.

Significantly down in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Easy to look elsewhere. Showed more when 8th last month and feasibly treated on peak hurdle efforts; cheekpieces.

Creditable third of 7 in handicap chase (11/2) at this C&D (good to soft) 35 days ago, doing too much too soon. Likely to be on the premises. Off the mark on h'cap bow in April; creditable runs twice since but others better treated.
1	1 (1) (8/1 -191%) Irish Blaze	8 8/1(-191%)	(1) Irish Blaze 8/1, 14/1, fell in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (16.5f, good to soft) 124 days ago, going off too hard. Booking of Gilligan a plus. Hood on 1st time. Has good chance on pick of form. Point/maiden hurdle winner; promise over fences; fell when beaten latest and off 4 months.
9	9 (9) (8.5/1 +53%) Royal Juniper	8.5 8.5/1(+53%)	(9) Royal Juniper 8.5/1, Fourth of 14 in handicap chase at Kilbeggan (19f, soft, 12/1) 21 days ago. Still not fully exposed and may build on latest effort. Point winner; posted best effort under rules when 4th latest but not sure to appreicate 2m.
4	4 (4) (10/1 -25%) Look Dont Touch	10 10/1(-25%)	(4) Look Dont Touch 10/1, Remains a maiden after 20 NH runs. 9/2, bit below form fourth of 12 in novice chase at Tipperary (19.5f, soft) 38 days ago. Makes handicap chase debut. Not ruled out. 0-20 but promise in each of his 3 starts in beginners' company this term; good mark.
8	8 (8) (20/1 +0%) Jack Holiday	20 20/1(+0%)	(8) Jack Holiday 20/1, Latest win in hurdle at Tipperary in April. Ninth of 14 in handicap hurdle (12/1) at Limerick (17f, soft) 15 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Others make more appeal. Tailed off in hurdle latest but better over fences; workable mark on last year's peak form.
2	2 (2) (33/1 -50%) Deadheat	33 33/1(-50%)	(2) Deadheat 33/1, Course winner. Below form eighth of 17 in handicap chase (33/1) at Navan (24f, good to soft) 180 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Others make more appeal. Won twice in chases over 3m+ in 2020 but shown little since and off another 6 months.
6	6 (6) (33/1 -32%) Knock On Steel	33 33/1(-32%)	(6) Knock On Steel 33/1, 25/1, pulled up in handicap chase at Killarney (17f, good) 21 days ago, held when hampered 4 out. Something to prove at present. Losing run since 2020; missed all 2022 and shown nothing in 2 runs since; enough to prove.

LTO Selection:

ITWASFATE drops back in trip and it could work the oracle on his third start over fences, as he won his maiden hurdle over just short of 2m at Kilbeggan. His trainer, Henry de Bromhead, has landed the last two renewals of this race. Irish Blaze sports a hood for the first time and it could help him to settle and get home. He has ability, but has been racing clear off the front before tiring. He may not get everything his own way up front with Jack Holiday in the field, so settling will be crucial. Danny Gilligan's 5lb claim is a bonus. Berliet Express is up in class, but running consistently well over fences and is dangerous off a light weight. Itwasfate's stablemate, Freddie Robdal, won by the minimum margin at Tramore in April and is in the hunt for prize money.

BERLIET EXPRESS has been in excellent form over fences this summer and wasn't disgraced on the Flat at Gowran last time, so he takes preference over Itwasfate, who is capable of better switched to handicapping for the first time in this sphere. Irish Blaze is a danger on his best form.

He's a long-standing maiden but LOOK DONT TOUCH looks like a big player on h'cap debut having shown promise in 3 recent chase starts

Dam, French 11.5f winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 11.6f English King and to dam of Irish Oaks winner Chicquita. One to note. Trainer does very well with 2yos here; firmly in calculations on debut.
1	1 (1) (3.5/1 -100%) Beveragino	3.5 3.5/1(-100%)	(1) Beveragino 3.5/1, Soldier's Call filly who showed fair form when placed first 2 starts, including over C&D. Seemed unsuited by the 1f shorter trip at Windsor last time. Player. Beaten favourite the last twice but has the best form in the field.
3	3 (3) (5.5/1 +50%) Milliterries	5.5 5.5/1(+50%)	(3) Milliterries 5.5/1, Foaled April 21. Territories filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 1½m winner Hepplewhite and 1¼m-1½m winner Syncopate. Dam 1¼m winner.

Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful 6f-7f winner Marshal Dan and 6f winner Electric Mistress. Dam, 2-y-o 6f winner, half-sister to very smart winner up to 6f Glass Slippers. There's enough in her pedigree to warrant a market check on debut.

Half-sister to several winners, including useful winner up to 6f Val Nanda, 2-y-o 6f winner Lollipop Girl. Dam 5f winner. There's potential in her pedigree and the betting may be informative on debut.
9	9 (9) (16/1 +36%) Wit's End	16 16/1(+36%)	(9) Wit's End 16/1, Well held both starts. Down the field on both starts and has to leave those performances well behind.

Hopelessly green when ninth of 11 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to soft, 40/1) on debut 20 days ago. Market check advised on second start but she was well beaten at 40-1 on last month's debut.
2	2 (2) (33/1 +0%) Kinetic	33 33/1(+0%)	(2) Kinetic 33/1, Poor form both starts here (6f). Well beaten at big odds on both starts; others preferred.

LTO Selection:

BEVERAGINO sets a reasonable standard with an official rating of 76 and, given that she has previous C&D experience, Michael Bell's filly can put her knowledge to good use back over this intermediate trip. Kinetic is a likely improver now upped to 7f and she is dangerous to underestimate. Cheshire Dancer and Sovereign Queen are a couple of noteworthy newcomers to monitor in the betting.

BEVERAGINO will be suited by the return to this trip and can put her experience to good use. Sphinx of Naxos and Surging Tide make most appeal of the newcomers before market clues.

Top of the list is the newcomer SPHINX OF NAXOS for the in-form Ralph Beckett, who has a fine strike-rate here with 2yos.

1	1 (1) (3.33/1 -21%) Longclaw	3.33 3.33/1(-21%)	(1) Longclaw 3.33/1, Winner at Ballinrobe in June. Good second of 16 in handicap at Galway (14.1f, good to soft, 9/1) 7 days ago, sticking to task. Not taken lightly. Last week's Galway second holding his form well; big run expected.

11	11 (11) (80/1 -21%) Sea The Sunset	80 80/1(-21%)	(11) Sea The Sunset 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Seventh of 14 in novice hurdle (150/1) at Tramore (16.6f, good) 70 days ago. Fair on the Flat, below form on last Flat outing. Maiden under both codes soundly beaten of late over hurdles; hard to fancy.

LTO Selection:

LONGCLAW has been done no favours with a wide draw but the Pat Murphy-trained six-year-old comes into the race as one of the in-form runners. A winner on just his second start for the stable at Ballinrobe in June, the gelding went close at the Galway Festival last week. Jody Townend is obviously a very significant booking in a race of this nature. Viceregent stayed on strongly when runner-up over this trip last time and is on a fair mark on the flat. Expound has been highly consistent of late so commands respect under Aine O'Connor. The four-year-old ran his best race to date when stepped up to this trip at Tramore last time. Golden Star is difficult to evaluate having his first run in a handicap after just the three starts. The Tony Martain-trained gelding showed little in two bumper runs.

VICEREGENT ran well on his belated return to the Flat when second at Ballinrobe and should go well again off the same mark. Expound and Longclaw head the dangers.

Recent Ballinrobe second VICEREGENT should appreciate this more galloping track and has the most experienced rider booked

Should remain competitive off 4 lb higher but he has yet to win from a mark in the 70s.

LTO Selection:

EQUIANO SPRINGS appeared to relish the drop in trip when winning a shade cosily over C&D last month and the son of Equiano could make light work of a 3lb rise. Lady Dreamer looks to have a race of this nature within her compass, although she will likely need to break better in order to capitalise in this contest. Tom Ward's filly is another to consider, along with Champagne Sarah, who should appreciate the return to 6f.

EQUIANO SPRINGS has his 3 lb rise for last month's C&D success offset by Adam Farragher's claim and might be able to follow up. Lady Dreamer can extend her run of good efforts since visored to 3 and provide the chief threat ahead of Clive Cox's Ice Cool Harry.

A chance is taken on DISTINGUISHED LADY, who has claims on her best form if she's revitalised by a change of stable.

First run for yard after leaving Hugh P. Finegan. Tongue strap on 1st time. Solid claims. Second to a smart mare when last seen; if repeating that form then will go close.

5	5 (5) (22/1 -22%) Mount Shenshan	22 22/1(-22%)	(5) Mount Shenshan 22/1, Once-raced maiden. Tongue strap on, sixth of 11 in bumper at Limerick (19f, soft, 33/1) on NH debut 15 days ago. Stayed on steadily in a 2m4f Limerick bumper on debut; has to improve a fair bit.
11	11 (11) (25/1 -56%) Yorkshire Escape	25 25/1(-56%)	(11) Yorkshire Escape 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Seventh of 16 in novice hurdle at Limerick (16f, soft, 80/1) 15 days ago. Switches from hurdles to bumpers. Unlikely to feature. Showed a bit more in a Limerick maiden hurdle last time; further improvement required.
12	12 (12) (66/1 +34%) The Coach Lady	66 66/1(+34%)	(12) The Coach Lady 66/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. Ninth of 12 in bumper at Killarney (17f, good, 200/1) on bumper debut 22 days ago. RESERVE. Much better effort at Killarney last time; lots more still needed; reserve.
7	7 (7) (80/1 -21%) Ballinearla Girl	80 80/1(-21%)	(7) Ballinearla Girl 80/1, Vendangeur filly. Half-sister to a point winner. Dam unraced. Not an obvious sort on paper. Is likely to improve from this debut, so best watched.

1	1 (1) (150/1 +25%) Another Red Cat	150 150/1(+25%)	(1) Another Red Cat 150/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. Pulled up in novice hurdle (200/1) at Kilbeggan (19f, soft) on hurdles bow 28 days ago, tailing off early final circuit. Switches from hurdles to bumpers. Can't be fancied on the evidence of her two starts.

LTO Selection:

MEET MY LORELEY could be a useful recruit for Barry Connell. She won a point-to-point for previous connections and then put in an excellent effort in second at 50/1 in a bumper at Thurles in December. Several winners have come out of that race. Traditude Tara represents Willie and Patrick Mullins and is an obvious danger on racecourse debut. Trainer Mullins is in absolutely dominant form in bumpers this season. Mount Shenshan was reluctant to race in Limerick, but did make up some noticeable late ground and has a place chance particularly if jumping off with the field.

TRADITUDE TARA is out of a bumper winner and is taken to make a sucessful start at the likely expense of Meet My Loreley in a race that the pair should dominate.

MEET MY LORELEY sets a decent standard on her second in a bumper last winter and will take some beating if repeating that form.

20:35 Haydock Handicap (Class 4) 7f - 3 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
2	2 (2) (0.67/1 +26%) Unequal Love	0.67 0.67/1(+26%)	(2) Unequal Love 0.67/1, Showed promise under a considerate ride on debut and improved when outpointing subsequent winner Bishop's Crown in a 6f Leicester maiden (good to firm). Followed up in ready fashion on slower ground at Ripon (6f, good to soft) and further progress likely back up in trip for this handicap bow. Something to spare the last twice and has the potential to be better than her opening mark.
1	1 (1) (2/1 +11%) Diamond Vega	2 2/1(+11%)	(1) Diamond Vega 2/1, Winner of a heavy-ground 6f novice here at 2 yrs and duly left-key reappearance (pulled hard) behind when landing a Catterick handicap (good) upped to 7f last month. 6 lb rise fair and she probably has more to offer. Unexposed 3yo who did it nicely at Catterick and may well take a 6lb rise in her stride.
3	3 (3) (6.5/1 +19%) Tellus	6.5 6.5/1(+19%)	(3) Tellus 6.5/1, Made the frame all 4 starts as a 2-y-o and improved when landing 7f novice events at Catterick and Chelmsford during the spring. However, form has dipped badly the last twice and she now has a bit to prove. Kicked off 3yo campaign with two wins but well beaten the last twice.

LTO Selection:

UNEQUAL LOVE has won her last couple of starts in striking fashion and is hard to oppose in her bid for a third victory within the space of just over a month. It's notable that her dam was placed over 1m in a Listed race at this course and all the signs are positive for this progressive filly. Catterick winner Diamond Vega is respected but a 6lb higher mark demands more of her, while Tellus and Jill Rose may have to settle for supporting roles.

UNEQUAL LOVE and Diamond Vega both possess appealing profiles, particularly the former who looks a useful prospect judged on her stylish victories at Leicester and Ripon. The Dutch Art filly is likely to raise her game another notch now moving back up in trip and pitched into a handicap off what could turn out to be a very fair mark. Jill Rose should give a good account but, as an exposed 7-y-o, she may struggle to keep tabs on the aforementioned, progressive 3-y-os.

Preference is for DIAMOND VEGA, who did it nicely at Catterick last month on her second handicap start.
