13:40 Dundalk Maiden 6f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	12 1st (12) (25/1 +0%) Bella Colombia	25 25/1(+0%)	(12) Bella Colombia 25/1, Foaled March 26. The Last Lion filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including winner up to 1m Bella Brazil and 5f-7f winner Porcupine Creek. Worth a market check. Half-sister to winners in several countries, dam maiden half-sister to a 5f Group 3 winner.
2	3 2nd (3) (0.36/1 +42%) Ashwiyaa	0.36 0.36/1(+42%)	(3) Ashwiyaa 0.36/1, Thrice-raced filly who seemed to excel herself when 4 lengths third of 7 in Group 2 at the Curragh (6f, good) 45 days ago. Has leading claims back in maiden company. Stands out in this company on the basis of 6f Group 2 third at the Curragh, hard to oppose.
3	8 3rd (8) (7/1 -56%) Making Time	7 7/1(-56%)	(8) Making Time 7/1, Bred to be sharp and showed plenty of ability when third of 6 on debut at Naas in May. Went backwards up in grade there next time but could get back on track now returned to calmer waters after a break. Two Naas runs, showed ability first time out, sights lowered after ambitious Group 3 bid.
4	11 4th (11) (12/1 +14%) Smart Impression	12 12/1(+14%)	(11) Smart Impression 12/1, 150/1, again shaped well when 7½ lengths seventh of 13 in Fillies' Sprint Stakes at Naas (5.9f, good to firm, 150/1) 86 days ago, unable to sustain effort. No forlorn hope back down in grade. Two runs at Naas in May, set a very stiff task in a Group 3 contest, possible nursery type.
5th	4 5th (4) (250/1 -67%) Promo Queen	250 250/1(-67%)	(4) Promo Queen 250/1, Well held in novice event/maiden. Has finished with only one behind her in each of her two races at Leopardstown.
6th	6 6th (6) (6.5/1 +13%) Byzantine Empress	6.5 6.5/1(+13%)	(6) Byzantine Empress 6.5/1, Lightly-raced filly. 9/1, good second of 13 in maiden at Fairyhouse (6f, good) 60 days ago. Should give her running but vulnerable from a win point of view. Fair placed form at Listowel and Fairyhouse, would receive 22lb from Ashwiyaa in a nursery.
7th	2 7th (2) (33/1 -50%) Special Angel	33 33/1(-50%)	(2) Special Angel 33/1, Foaled February 11. €42,000 yearling, El Kabeir filly. Half-sister to smart winner up to 7f The Lir Jet and winner up to 6f Fast Dreams. Dam 6f winner. Noteworthy as a half-sister to Norfolk Stakes winner The Lir Jet who was a debut scorer.
8th	13 8th (13) (50/1 +0%) Go On Go On Uhavit	50 50/1(+0%)	(13) Go On Go On Uhavit 50/1, Once-raced filly. 200/1, ninth of 13 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, good) on debut 3 days ago. Reappears three days after finishing ninth of 14 behind a top prospect at the Curragh.
9th	9 9th (9) (28/1 -12%) Masonbrook Meadow	28 28/1(-12%)	(9) Masonbrook Meadow 28/1, Went backwards from an encouraging debut when eleventh of 16 in maiden (8/1) at Cork (6f, good) 18 days ago. Quite promising in 5f Naas maiden on debut, failed to run to the same level at Cork.
10th	7 10th (7) (33/1 -50%) Hispanolita	33 33/1(-50%)	(7) Hispanolita 33/1, 14/1, went backwards from debut when ninth of 12 in minor event at Leopardstown (7.2f, good) 54 days ago. Ran green when a fair fourth over 6f on debut, not as good over 7f on her second start.
11th	1 11th (1) (28/1 +15%) Avanti Avana	28 28/1(+15%)	(1) Avanti Avana 28/1, Foaled January 24. 27,000 gns foal, Havana Gold filly. Half-sister to useful winner up to 6f Escalating and smart winner up to 1m Amabilis. Not badly bred and could go well on debut. Half-sister to a couple of multiple winners, best of them useful turf/AW winner Amabilis.
12th	5 12th (5) (80/1 +0%) Soiree Dansante	80 80/1(+0%)	(5) Soiree Dansante 80/1, 80/1, looked badly in need of the experience when ninth of 10 in maiden at Leopardstown (7.3f, good) on debut 33 days ago. Slowly away and never in the hunt over a longer trip first time out, safe to rule out.

LTO Selection:

The 92-rated ASHWIYAA has been found an excellent opportunity to shed her maiden tag. Michael O'Callaghan's filly was somewhat unfortunate to bump into a couple of above-average juveniles in her first two starts, then acquitted herself well when third in a Group 2. With nothing of that calibre in this modest contest, it would be a surprise if she can't get her head in front. Smart Impression ran better than the bare form suggested on her racecourse debut at Naas, before finding herself drawn on the wrong side when stepped up into Group company at that same track. Making Time, who finished third on her introduction at Naas in May, was behind Smart Impression on her most recent start. Debutant Special Angel is worth a second look in the market given her connections' success with juveniles this season.

ASHWIYAA showed improved form when third in a Group 2 at the Curragh early last month and ought to be capable of winning a race of this nature on that showing. Making Time could get her career back on track now returning to calmer waters after a break, while Smart Impression isn't without hope either having shaped quite well on both her starts to date.

This should be straightforward for ASHWIYAA who held her own in a Group 2 Curragh event won by a smart filly from Ballydoyle

13:40 Dundalk Maiden 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:10 Dundalk Handicap 6f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	6 1st (6) (7.5/1 +53%) Hispanic	7.5 7.5/1(+53%)	(6) Hispanic 7.5/1, Twelfth of 20 in handicap (22/1) at the Curragh (6.3f, soft) 24 days ago. Makes polytrack debut with more needed. Has run in three big-value handicaps, coming down in the ratings, premature to write off.
2	2 2nd (2) (1.88/1 +53%) Dandyville	1.88 1.88/1(+53%)	(2) Dandyville 1.88/1, C&D winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. 7/1, good second of 13 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, good) 45 days ago, keeping on well. Can make presence felt. Good overall strike rate (6-20), 2-6 at this venue, went close at the Curragh last time.
3	5 3rd (5) (4.5/1 +18%) Queen Maedbh	4.5 4.5/1(+18%)	(5) Queen Maedbh 4.5/1, Lightly-raced winner. C&D winner. Respectable second of 6 in minor event at Fairyhouse (6f, good to firm, 13/8) 67 days ago. Can give a good account. C&D maiden winner at two, leading contender on the basis of her last two placed efforts.
4	9 4th (9) (8/1 +60%) Dontspoilasale	8 8/1(+60%)	(9) Dontspoilasale 8/1, Below form seventh of 14 in handicap (18/1) at Cork (5f, good) 18 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Definite chance if reproducing the form of his second over 5f here on his penultimate run.
5th	7 5th (7) (40/1 -371%) Apricot Twist	40 40/1(-371%)	(7) Apricot Twist 40/1, Blinkered for 1st time, ninth of 11 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, good to firm, 12/1) 48 days ago. More is required. No further success since debut win, looks held by Dontspoilasale on Naas running.
6th	3 6th (3) (33/1 -175%) Mickey The Steel	33 33/1(-175%)	(3) Mickey The Steel 33/1, C&D winner. Fourteenth of 15 in handicap (22/1) at the Curragh (6f, good to soft) 81 days ago. Weighted to go well if shrugging off latest effort. C&D maiden winner, 2-28 on turf but placed 12 times, others make more appeal.
7th	4 7th (4) (9/1 -64%) Mehman	9 9/1(-64%)	(4) Mehman 9/1, Course winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win here in February. 50/1, eleventh of 20 in handicap at the Curragh (6.3f, soft) 24 days ago, not ideally placed. One to consider. Winner of three of his four starts over 5f at this venue, can improve on recent turf form.
8th	13 8th (13) (8/1 +20%) Livingston Range	8 8/1(+20%)	(13) Livingston Range 8/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Naas in July. Good second of 19 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, good, 11/1) 3 days ago. Visor on 1st time and well in the mix 6lb out of the handicap but set for a rise after going close at the Curragh on Saturday.
9th	8 9th (8) (16/1 -100%) Tai Sing Yeh	16 16/1(-100%)	(8) Tai Sing Yeh 16/1, 4-time C&D winner. 3 wins from 17 runs this year. Career best when winning 15-runner handicap (14/1) at Naas (5.9f, soft) 20 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Durable four-time course winner has been running well on turf, up 6lb for Naas win.
10th	1 10th (1) (8.5/1 -70%) Harry's Bar	8.5 8.5/1(-70%)	(1) Harry's Bar 8.5/1, 4-time C&D winner. Fourteen wins from 47 Flat runs. Latest win here in February. 4/1, creditable third of 6 in handicap at this course (5f) 34 days ago. Considered. Prolific AW winner, 7-13 at this venue, won this last year and is 4lb lower now.
11th	10 11th (10) (125/1 -25%) Wild Mountain	125 125/1(-25%)	(10) Wild Mountain 125/1, First run since leaving Paul & Oliver Cole when last of 14 in handicap (100/1) at Leopardstown (8f, good) 33 days ago. Down in trip with work to do. Kempton winner over this trip for the Coles in 2021, never involved over 1m on Irish debut.
12th	12 12th (12) (40/1 +0%) Coolcalmncollected	40 40/1(+0%)	(12) Coolcalmncollected 40/1, C&D winner. Thirteenth of 15 in handicap at Galway (7f, heavy, 16/1) 15 days ago. Plenty to find on form. Won twice over C&D late last year, up against it now from 6lb out of the handicap.
11	11 \|PU\| (11) (18/1 +0%) Cash Or Crypto	18 18/1(+0%)	(11) Cash Or Crypto 18/1, 11/2 and tongue strap on for 1st time, refused to race in handicap at Naas (5.9f, good to firm) 48 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Unreliable sort. Stood in the stalls at Naas last time, 11-2 chance then after Curragh third, 4lb wrong now.

LTO Selection:

HARRY'S BAR can enhance his fine record at this track by conceding weight to all. The Ado McGuinness-trained eight-year-old found everything happening a bit too quick over 5f here last time, but will be more at home at this distance. Cian MacRedmond claims a valuable 5lb off the Exceed And Excel gelding's welter burden. Tai Sing Yeh returned to something like his best when successful on turf at Naas so the five-time all-weather winner has to be a contender, despite the step up in grade. Queen Maedbh, a C&D maiden winner back in November, looks best of the three-year-old representatives. The Joseph O'Brien-trained filly, who was just touched off by an improving sprinter at Fairyhouse last time, has more scope for improvement than most in this field.

TAI SING YEH comes here on the back of a career-best Naas success so this multiple C&D winner gets the verdict in a competitive handicap. Fellow C&D scorer Dandyville is feared most, although Mickey The Steel is weighted to have a big say too if on his A-game.

An unchanged mark of 91 following her Fairyhouse second gives QUEEN MAEDBH a possible edge over several useful older rivals

14:10 Dundalk Handicap 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:30 Nottingham Handicap (Class 6) 10f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (8.5/1 +39%) Liberated Lad	8.5 8.5/1(+39%)	(4) Liberated Lad 8.5/1, Seventh of 9 in handicap (28/1) at Leicester (11.8f, soft) 13 days ago. Yet to click for present yard but starting to come down the weights (currently 2 lb above last winning mark) and would have a change granted a revival. He's just 1-18 on turf (Flat) and comfortably beaten in four runs for this yard.
2	3 2nd (3) (3/1 +50%) Barney's Angel	3 3/1(+50%)	(3) Barney's Angel 3/1, 6/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, soft) 14 days ago. Knocking on the door prior to that, including when fourth of 9 over this C&D off 3 lb higher on penultimate start, and he's one for the shortlist. Tailed off at Beverley, reaffirming that rain-softened ground is not what he wants.
3	1 3rd (1) (14/1 -155%) Starfighter	14 14/1(-155%)	(1) Starfighter 14/1, Fifth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 4/1) when last seen in March. Mixed bag on turf but he figures on a workable mark and won't mind the drop in trip, so there's cause for optimism. Off since March and record fresh isn't the best, while any rain would count against him.
4	8 4th (8) (9/1 +10%) Mac Ailey	9 9/1(+10%)	(8) Mac Ailey 9/1, Latest win at Ayr in July. Last of 12 in handicap (5/1) at Ayr (8f, good) 29 days ago. Back up in trip and cheekpieces refitted. Motarajel is presumably the stable first-string judged on rider arrangements. A recent Ayr winner over 1m2f on soft and could yet get similar conditions here.
5th	2 5th (2) (3.33/1 +39%) Hotspur Harry	3.33 3.33/1(+39%)	(2) Hotspur Harry 3.33/1, C&D winner. 14/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good) 17 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Back up in trip and cheekpieces refitted, he could certainly have a say if he puts his best foot forward. Plenty of placed form but only 2-35 and last four runs weren't his best.
6th	5 6th (5) (4.5/1 -13%) Motarajel	4.5 4.5/1(-13%)	(5) Motarajel 4.5/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. 15/2, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, soft) 22 days ago. Modest strike rate but now down to a career-low mark and shouldn't be far away. Hasn't been far away in any of his last four runs and conditions will be fine.
7th	11 7th (11) (25/1 +24%) Peroni	25 25/1(+24%)	(11) Peroni 25/1, Blinkered for 1st time, eighth of 10 in minor event at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 12/1). Off 7 months ahead of this first start for last year's winning yard. Improvement needed. Not that competitive in six starts for Gay Kelleway, including handicaps from 1m to 1m4f.
8th	12 8th (12) (80/1 -100%) Nemorum	80 80/1(-100%)	(12) Nemorum 80/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. 22/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Chepstow (7.1f, good to firm). Off 91 days and significantly up in trip here. Looks set for another struggle. A regressive maiden who's yet to achieve anything significant on turf.
9th	13 9th (13) (20/1 -43%) Pink Sky At Night	20 20/1(-43%)	(13) Pink Sky At Night 20/1, 40/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (7f), left poorly placed. Off 10 months and significantly up in trip on this first run for yard after leaving John C. Shearman. Some promise in Irish handicaps but unraced over this far and has been off since October.
10th	6 10th (6) (10/1 +75%) Kingson	10 10/1(+75%)	(6) Kingson 10/1, Last of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (12.1f, good to firm, 25/1) 68 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Jake Thomas Coulson and cheekpieces on 1st time. Looks up against it. Lost his way after winning on debut for previous yard and recently changed hands cheaply.
11th	10 11th (10) (100/1 -52%) Elwing	100 100/1(-52%)	(10) Elwing 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 66/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, ninth of 13 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good) 22 days ago. Back up in trip and it's easy enough to look elsewhere. Limited maiden who has finished well behind in handicaps over 1m4f and 1m.
12th	7 12th (7) (33/1 -83%) Nelson Bay	33 33/1(-83%)	(7) Nelson Bay 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 9 in maiden (80/1) at Pontefract (8f, good to soft) 16 days ago, slowly away. Back up in trip for this handicap debut and worth a second look in the betting. Mild improvement last time but doesn't look obviously well treated for handicap debut.
13th	9 13th (9) (12/1 -300%) Dark Gold	12 12/1(-300%)	(9) Dark Gold 12/1, 15/2, last of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f) 29 days ago. So far failed to progress from 2 to 3 and for the switch to handicaps, as so many from this yard do. Hasn't progressed as expected since handicapping back from wind surgery.

LTO Selection:

A weak contest in which a tentative vote is given to STARFIGHTER, who could take advantage of a drop in distance following a fair fifth over 1m4f at Wolverhampton in March. He is now rated 2lb above his last winning mark, which came at this course in December, and he can get the better of Motarajel. Mac Ailey is another seeking to bounce back to form and he completes the shortlist.

None of these look especially solid but, save for his latest effort at Beverley, BARNEY'S ANGEL has proved to be consistent since venturing down the handicap route, making the frame all 5 starts prior to what was presumably a blip last time. The 4-y-o may well open his account at the tenth time of asking. Motarajel is an infrequent winner but is more likely than most to run his race and should be on the premises, while cases can also be made for Hotspur Harry and Starfighter.

Tim Easterby's MOTARAJEL doesn't find winning easy but he's consistent and looks a good bet to give his running.

14:30 Nottingham Handicap (Class 6) 10f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:40 Dundalk Maiden 7f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	7 1st (7) (2.5/1 +29%) Signatory	2.5 2.5/1(+29%)	(7) Signatory 2.5/1, Promising individual. Fifth of 11 in maiden (7/1) at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft), unable to sustain effort. Off 91 days. Likely to improve. Good introduction over 1m here in January, failed to match that form at Killlarney.
2	5 2nd (5) (3.2/1 -42%) Not Forgotten	3.2 3.2/1(-42%)	(5) Not Forgotten 3.2/1, Thrice-raced gelding. Eighth of 11 in maiden (11/8) at Tipperary (7.5f, good) 77 days ago but claims on his third here prior to that. Place chance on the basis of his third here in April, disappointing favourite at Tipperary.
3	8 3rd (8) (1.25/1 +50%) Agia	1.25 1.25/1(+50%)	(8) Agia 1.25/1, Promising sort. Third of 14 in maiden at this course (8f, 20/1) on debut 34 days ago. Open to progress. Made an encouraging start to his career when third over 1m here last month, should improve.
4	6 4th (6) (8/1 -33%) Roman Harry	8 8/1(-33%)	(6) Roman Harry 8/1, Once-raced gelding. 6/5, third of 11 in claimer at Fairyhouse (10f, good) on debut 34 days ago. Down in trip. First run for yard after leaving Ger Lyons. Should progress. Well fancied for a 1m2f claimer on only run for Ger Lyons, did not stay but showed ability.
5th	11 5th (11) (16/1 -45%) Brave Thought	16 16/1(-45%)	(11) Brave Thought 16/1, Thrice-raced filly. Fifth of 11 in maiden at Galway (7f, soft, 28/1) 14 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Three runs of roughly equal standard, 66 rating implies a better chance in a handicap.
6th	1 6th (1) (250/1 -67%) Dawn Noir	250 250/1(-67%)	(1) Dawn Noir 250/1, Twice-raced gelding. Last of 17 in maiden at Leopardstown (10f, good to soft, 250/1) 26 days ago. Down in trip. Has finished last on his first two outings, can be ruled out.
7th	9 7th (9) (200/1 -33%) Angel Of The Sea	200 200/1(-33%)	(9) Angel Of The Sea 200/1, Twice-raced filly. 150/1 and hooded for 1st time, tenth of 16 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, heavy). Off 143 days. Soundly beaten on her first two starts, trainer has a better chance with Brave Thought.
8th	4 8th (4) (16/1 -88%) Lope De Rueda	16 16/1(-88%)	(4) Lope De Rueda 16/1, Thrice-raced gelding. Hooded for 1st time, tenth of 14 in maiden at Fairyhouse (7f, good, 14/1) 34 days ago, slowly away. Best of his three runs over 7f at the Curragh, his 72 rating unlikely to be enough here.
9th	3 9th (3) (33/1 +0%) Thunder Gatti	33 33/1(+0%)	(3) Thunder Gatti 33/1, Tagula gelding. Half-brother to 8.4f winner Marmalade N Toast and 6f winner Reeking Havoc. Dam unraced half-sister to winner up to 9.5f Rainbow Crossing. Half-sister to two minor winners, dam an unraced half-sister to a French AW Listed winner.
10th	14 10th (14) (150/1 +0%) Taxiing	150 150/1(+0%)	(14) Taxiing 150/1, Twice-raced filly. 150/1, last of 14 in maiden at this course (10.7f) 34 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. In rear at Gowran on debut, saddle slipped when a 150-1 chance here a month ago.
11th	10 11th (10) (33/1 +0%) Arturo Bay	33 33/1(+0%)	(10) Arturo Bay 33/1, €4,000 yearling, Anjaal filly. Half-sister to minor winners abroad by Sea The Stars and Dream Ahead. Dam Italian winner up to 11f (2-y-o 1m winner). Half-sister to winners on the continent, dam a half-sister to an Italian Oaks runner-up.
12th	12 12th (12) (250/1 -150%) Mayo Dawn	250 250/1(-150%)	(12) Mayo Dawn 250/1, Lightly-raced filly. Last of 11 in maiden (200/1) at the Curragh (7f, soft) 24 days ago. Has shown no sign of winning potential in four outings, safe to rule out.
13th	2 13th (2) (200/1 -300%) Ginnos Port	200 200/1(-300%)	(2) Ginnos Port 200/1, Portage gelding. Dam unraced. Wears hood. Winning jumpers close up in the pedigree, hooded for debut, best watched.
14th	13 14th (13) (50/1 +24%) Tarfeh	50 50/1(+24%)	(13) Tarfeh 50/1, Last of 7 in maiden at Deauville (6f, good, 82/10). Off 12 months. Wears blinkers. Eased when chance had gone at Deauville on only start at two, blinkered for Irish debut.

LTO Selection:

NOT FORGOTTEN would be a warm order here had the Michael Halford and Tracey Collins-trained gelding not run on turf at Tipperary last time. The bare form of his previous start, when third over a mile at this track in April, looks particularly strong given subsequent events. Although nothing was found to explain that latest below-par run, the fact he has been off the track since May suggests that something may have been discovered. The John Joseph Murphy-trained Signatory, who was runner-up here in January, made a satisfactory reappearance at Killarney in May. He should be sharper now as a result of that run. Agia is another with solid placed form at this venue having finished third on debut last month. The Ger Lyons-trained filly is another with leading claims in a wide-open contest.

AGIA shaped encouragingly on her course debut last month and can get off the mark at the second time of asking with improvement on the cards. Not Forgotten was third on his previous visit here and is feared most ahead of Signatory.

Ger Lyons has a strong contender in AGIA who weakened into third in a 1m maiden here last month. Not Forgotten is a likely danger

14:50 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 7f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (3.33/1 +5%) Musical Mystery	3.33 3.33/1(+5%)	(1) Musical Mystery 3.33/1, 6/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) 41 days ago. Up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Ali Stronge. Nicely treated on best form and merits respect under Marquand. Maiden for previous yard; new trip may help on debut for new stable; dam 7f winner.
2	7 2nd (7) (7/1 +7%) Purple Poppy	7 7/1(+7%)	(7) Purple Poppy 7/1, C&D winner in April. Creditable second of 9 in handicap (12/1) at Kempton (8f) 34 days ago. Should give another good account. Won gamely over C&D in April; solid second at Kempton on sole start since; strong chance.
3	5 3rd (5) (7.5/1 -25%) Dulcet Spirit	7.5 7.5/1(-25%)	(5) Dulcet Spirit 7.5/1, C&D winner. 5/1, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Chepstow (7f, good to soft) 18 days ago, just holding on. Only nudged up 1 lb and should remain very competitive. Held on for narrow success at Chepstow last month; C&D winner off this mark in January.
4	8 4th (8) (33/1 -83%) Sir Sedric	33 33/1(-83%)	(8) Sir Sedric 33/1, One win from 27 Flat runs. Visored first time, respectable seventh of 12 in handicap (8/1) at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 50 days ago, never nearer. Close fourth in this race last year but subsequent form is substandard.
5th	3 5th (3) (11/1 -69%) Ajrad	11 11/1(-69%)	(3) Ajrad 11/1, C&D winner. 16/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, heavy) 10 days ago. Defied a 5lb higher mark over C&D last November; great chance if back to that form.
6th	2 6th (2) (0.83/1 +53%) Embarked	0.83 0.83/1(+53%)	(2) Embarked 0.83/1, Improved on recent efforts to win 8-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (7f, evens) 21 days ago, well on top finish. A 4 lb rise doesn't look enough to stop him going in again. Opened his account at Wolverhampton three weeks ago; still unexposed on AW; respected.
7th	4 7th (4) (40/1 -82%) Mount Mogan	40 40/1(-82%)	(4) Mount Mogan 40/1, C&D winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Fifth of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, good to soft, 16/1) 15 days ago. Others more persuasive. Inconsistent since winning over C&D in early 2022.
8th	6 8th (6) (40/1 -300%) Copper Mountain	40 40/1(-300%)	(6) Copper Mountain 40/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Visored first time, ninth of 13 in handicap at Yarmouth (1m, good, 22/1) 34 days ago. Far from consistent this year but shaped well on last AW attempt.
9th	9 9th (9) (150/1 -200%) Bonnie Blandford	150 150/1(-200%)	(9) Bonnie Blandford 150/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 11 in novice at Salisbury (6f, good, 100/1) 17 days ago. Tongue strap on for first time. Makes handicap debut. Handicap debutante who has decidedly poor claims on her novice form.

LTO Selection:

EMBARKED got off the mark at Wolverhampton last month on his third start for James Fanshawe after a couple of promising efforts and a 4lb rise for that success may prove to be lenient, with Hollie Doyle taking over in the saddle. A winner on her last go at this distance and not beaten far over a mile at Kempton since, Purple Poppy looks to be the selection's main danger, along with Chepstow winner Dulcet Spirit.

EMBARKED was quite nicely on top at the finish at Wolverhampton last time and can make light of a 5 lb rise. Fellow last-time-out scorer Dulcet Spirit may give him most to do ahead of Musical Mystery, who has his first outing for a new yard here.

Game mare PURPLE POPPY holds solid claims on 2023 form. Embarked is feared most.

Much better effort when second of 8 in maiden at Newcastle (5f, 10/1) on debut. Off 80 days since disappointing at Goodwood. Stuck well to task on 5f AW debut; faded over 6f on turf in May (good to firm).
2	3 2nd (3) (5/1 +33%) Glitterella	5 5/1(+33%)	(3) Glitterella 5/1, Foaled January 20. €58,000 foal, Starspangledbanner filly.

No impact on 6f debut (soft) but still signs of ability; may well achieve more this time.
3	5 3rd (5) (6/1 -50%) Rose Branch	6 6/1(-50%)	(5) Rose Branch 6/1, Foaled February 22. Kingman filly. Dam once-raced sister to smart winner up to 1½m Qualify out of useful 12.7f winner (should have stayed 2m) Perihelion. Makes plenty of appeal on paper. Likely to come into her own over further; market can guide for up-and-coming yard.

Half-sister to 3 winners, including very smart winner up to 1½m Nations Pride and 7f winner Persian Empire. Dam 8.5f/9f winner. One to take seriously on debut. Classy pedigree; likely type for yard that's 31% with 2yos on turf this year.

Closely related to 2-y-o 6f winner Yes Always and winner up to 1¼m Swift One. Dam 10.7f winner. Trainer’s newcomers command respect. Late foal; bred to be precocious and market can guide; yard 13% with 2yos on turf in 2023.

LTO Selection:

CRYSTAL OF TIME makes her racecourse debut and the half-sister to German Group 1 winner Nations Pride is fancied to make a winning start. Her dam was a Listed winner and Charlie Appleby's filly can get the better of fellow debutant Rose Branch. High Sport is another seeking to get off the mark at the first time of asking and she must be considered too.

This is likely to go to a newcomer, and Godolphin's CRYSTAL OF TIME stands out on pedigree. Rose Branch, a daughter of Kingman, and High Sport, who cost 6 figures as a yearling, can chase the selection home in that order.

High Sport is bred to go a bit but is a late foal and CRYSTAL OF TIME is taken to make a winning start.

LTO Selection:

The O'Brien family hold the key to this maiden and NOR TIME NOR TIDE is taken to score after a pleasing debut at Killarney. Joseph O'Brien's colt chased home a previous maiden winner who went on to be runner-up in Listed company last week, and he is the only one of these who has been entered in a Group race. Huxley steps up to a mile for the first time after finishing fourth to exciting prospect City Of Troy at the Curragh. On pedigree, he should appreciate the longer trip and is likely to be fighting out the finish. Ballydoyle's newcomer Capulet is bred in the purple and is a half-brother to a juvenile maiden winner over 7f. He missed an engagement at Newmarket last month so may be fairly forward and his trainer won this with a classy sort last year.

A mixed bag and not hard to rule out almost half the field. NOR TIME NOR TIDE showed more than enough on debut to suggest he'll win one of these, and this looks a good opportunity, unless newcomer Capulet proves to be something out of the ordinary. Huxley likely remains with improvement in him and can make it a 1-2-3 for the O'Briens.

Group 2 entrant NOR TIME NOR TIDE chased home a smart sort at Killarney and can get the better of Huxley and newcomer Huxley

Outclassed in Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot subsequently but posted good third of 8 at Windsor (5.1f, good) last time and holds leading claims here. Placed a couple of times; could well have an ordinary race in her; respected.

3	1 3rd (1) (1/1 +70%) Princess Chizara	1 1/1(+70%)	(1) Princess Chizara 1/1, Defied big odds to win 4-runner maiden at Brighton (5.3f, firm) on debut in June. Struggled in Queen Mary next time and weakened quickly on heavy ground at Goodwood latest but better expected here. Hammered her three rivals at Brighton; stiffer tasks at major festivals since.
4	7 4th (7) (10/1 -11%) Sea Of Angels	10 10/1(-11%)	(7) Sea Of Angels 10/1, Foaled February 15. 20,000 gns yearling, 30,000 gns 2-y-o, Harry Angel filly. Dam maiden (stayed 7.5f). Market check advised on debut. 30,000gns 2yo; by Harry Angel; sole newcomer in the field; market instructive.

6th	5 6th (5) (22/1 -100%) Lady Showcasing	22 22/1(-100%)	(5) Lady Showcasing 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 8 in minor event (13/2) at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) 55 days ago. Needs to bounce back on polytrack debut. Possibly isn't progressing but this return to AW may help.

LTO Selection:

This can go the way of HOT FRONT, who has shown more than enough in three career outings to suggest that she can get off the mark on this occasion. Not beaten far at Windsor last time out, the daughter of Soldier's Call is preferred to the likes of Alnoory Star, who could be well suited by dropping back in trip. and debut winner Princess Chizara.

HOT FRONT got back on track behind a couple of colts at Windsor last time and is taken to open her account. Princess Chizara and Leaves of Grass rate the principal dangers.

Marginal preference is for HOT FRONT, ahead of Princess Chizara.

LTO Selection:

Only narrowly denied over 7f on her most recent run, racecourse experience seemed to benefit LIBERTY on that occasion and Jane Chapple-Hyam's filly looks the one to beat. She must hold every chance of progressing upped in distance, while the improving Ayyab also enters calculations following a decent third at Newmarket in June. King Lear's dam was a dual Group 1 winner and he should not be taken lightly either.

KING LEAR is bred to be the part and shaped with plenty of promise amidst inexperience in what looked a hot novice at Newmarket on last month's debut, so he's the percentage call to build on that and get off the mark at the second attempt. Motriff is another well-bred sort who seems sure to improve on his opening effort at Chelmsford, while Liberty and Ayyab are others capable of getting involved.

King Lear is feared most but MOTRIFF was the only one to make any inroads from off the pace at Chelmsford. That was promising.

LTO Selection:

He is drawn wider than ideal, but NUMIDIA comes here in good form and can gain a second C&D victory. A winner here in February, Peter Lawlor's gelding was an unlucky fourth at Leopardstown in June before finding only one too good off this mark here last month. There was only half a length between Lasting Peace and Queen Mab when they were placed at Bellewstown. Both are lightly-raced three-year-olds with scope for improvement, although neither has run on the all-weather to date. Punk Poet is a three-time C&D winner who has come down a lot in the ratings. He showed more at Bellewstown two starts back and should be competitive in this grade.

Preference is for LASTING PEACE, who posted his best effort yet in first-time blinkers (retained here) when runner-up at Bellewstown last month. The booking of Colin Keane adds to his appeal and he should go close off the same mark here, provided he is able to build on that now switched to this surface. Boadicea Belle is equipped with blinkers for the first time herself and looks dangerous having returned to form when third over C&D last time. Numidia and Punk Poet are others to consider.

He's drawn wider than ideal but NUMIDIA come here in good form and can gain a second C&D success

Beaten favourite in both runs this term but may progress now handicapping.
4	4 4th (4) (8.5/1 -89%) Desert Voice	8.5 8.5/1(-89%)	(4) Desert Voice 8.5/1, Promising sort. Won maiden at Yarmouth and handicap at Doncaster (both 7f, good to firm) this summer. Had softish ground as a possible excuse for a lesser run at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) last time. Makes polytrack debut. Can resume her progression. Possibly best to forgive latest effort; may still have more to offer.
5th	7 5th (7) (5/1 +0%) Nogo's Dream	5 5/1(+0%)	(7) Nogo's Dream 5/1, Possibly not straightforward but largely consistent, running with credit again when second of 6 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good) 17 days ago. More exposed than some of these rivals but arrives in form.
6th	6 6th (6) (6/1 -33%) Restrict	6 6/1(-33%)	(6) Restrict 6/1, Won a 6f Wolverhampton maiden and 7f Kempton handicap in March. Likely capable of better again back from a 139-day break (has had wind surgery). Progressive sort; major player if returning from layoff in good order.
7th	8 7th (8) (20/1 -11%) Grenham Bay	20 20/1(-11%)	(8) Grenham Bay 20/1, Latest win at Salisbury in May. Sixth of 9 in handicap at Ascot (7f, good to soft, 8/1) 18 days ago. Others more persuasive. Two 6f wins in the spring; no further progress since.
8th	2 8th (2) (33/1 -106%) Al Khazneh	33 33/1(-106%)	(2) Al Khazneh 33/1, Last of 7 in handicap at Sandown (9f, good to firm, 16/1) 59 days ago. Back down in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Something to find on form. Record stands at just 1-11 and others are less exposed.

LTO Selection:

The William Haggas stable can do little wrong at present and DESERT VOICE looks just the type to bounce back from a disappointing effort at Newmarket last month. Returning to better ground is major plus this time around, and the daughter of Invincible Spirit may have too much for the hat-trick-seeking Desert Falcon, as well as the largely unexposed Resolute Man. Nogo's Dream and Restrict cannot be ruled out either.

An interesting 3-y-o handicap. DESERT FALCON should have more to come and can complete the hat-trick but there are a few dangers, headed by Desert Voice and Restrict.

Prescott improvers often run up a sequence and therefore it's worth sticking with DESERT FALCON (nap). Restrict is feared most.

1	14 1st (14) (2.75/1 +31%) Campaign Trail	2.75 2.75/1(+31%)	(14) Campaign Trail 2.75/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Career best when winning 3-runner maiden (2/5) at Catterick (12.1f, good) 27 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Merits consideration back in handicap company. Two seconds in handicaps before making no mistake in a weak maiden.
2	13 2nd (13) (40/1 -82%) Capone	40 40/1(-82%)	(13) Capone 40/1, Winner at Chester in June. Creditable second of 7 in handicap at Newmarket (16f, good, 5/6) 47 days ago, well positioned. One for the shortlist. In a fine run of form on his favoured good ground; on the premises.
3	12 3rd (12) (8.5/1 +29%) Tuddenham Green	8.5 8.5/1(+29%)	(12) Tuddenham Green 8.5/1, 4/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Goodwood (16f, heavy), running on. Off 101 days but he can't be ruled out. Dual hurdle winner, on good and soft ground; has figures of 3323 in Flat handicaps.
4	6 4th (6) (1.75/1 -17%) Golden Shot	1.75 1.75/1(-17%)	(6) Golden Shot 1.75/1, Improved further as he made it 4 wins from his last 6 starts with wide-margin success in 8-runner handicap at Ffos Las (14f, heavy) 7 days ago, staying on well. Big shout under a 5 lb penalty with more progress on the cards. 4-6 in handicaps and carries a 5lb penalty for last week's wide-margin romp at Ffos Las.
5th	15 5th (15) (14/1 +0%) Seahouses	14 14/1(+0%)	(15) Seahouses 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, good second of 8 in handicap at Salisbury (12f, good, 11/2) 17 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Blinkers on 1st time now and one to consider. Rhys Clutterbuck was aboard when a staying-on second over 1m4f at Salisbury latest.
6th	5 6th (5) (12/1 +25%) Mothill	12 12/1(+25%)	(5) Mothill 12/1, Fairly useful winner at 20f over hurdles. 6/1, creditable third of 7 to Quantum Leap in handicap at Haydock (14f, good to soft) on UK Flat debut 25 days ago. Considered. Ran a solid race behind Quantum Leap on his return to Flat action at Haydock.
7th	1 7th (1) (12/1 -50%) Quantum Leap	12 12/1(-50%)	(1) Quantum Leap 12/1, Thrice-raced winner. Won 7-runner handicap at Haydock (14f, good to soft, 9/1) 25 days ago, despite being very slowly away. Ought to be in the shake-up despite taking a 5 lb rise with very few miles still on the clock. 2-3 and looked well ahead of his mark when overcoming a slow start at Haydock.
8th	11 8th (11) (22/1 -22%) C'mon Kenny	22 22/1(-22%)	(11) C'mon Kenny 22/1, Latest win at Pontefract in June but below form since, only fifth of 7 in handicap at Salisbury (12f, soft, 10/1) 31 days ago, slowly away. Significantly up in trip with more required. Better than ever at Pontefract but below par since then on soft ground.
9th	8 9th (8) (5.5/1 +27%) Alnilam	5.5 5.5/1(+27%)	(8) Alnilam 5.5/1, 2 wins from 3 runs this year, posting a career best when winning 11-runner handicap (9/4) at Yarmouth (14.1f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Likely to improve again now up to 2m. Well in the mix in his hat-trick bid. Has come from off the pace to win 1m6f handicaps at Sandown and Yarmouth; good mark.
10th	2 10th (2) (40/1 +0%) First Emperor	40 40/1(+0%)	(2) First Emperor 40/1, 3 wins from 14 runs this year. Latest win at Goodwood in May. Seventh of 8 in handicap at Kempton (16f, 15/2) 34 days ago. Not taken lightly if shrugging off latest effort. In good form prior to recent struggles; would have something to prove on soft ground.
11th	10 11th (10) (125/1 -25%) Red Force One	125 125/1(-25%)	(10) Red Force One 125/1, Ninth of 10 in handicap at York (16.2f, good, 33/1) 17 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Multiple winner but hard to be confident about him after finishing tailed off at York.
12th	7 12th (7) (125/1 +17%) Grand Scheme	125 125/1(+17%)	(7) Grand Scheme 125/1, Course winner. 50/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, seventh of 9 in handicap at York (11.8f, good) 17 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Needs to bounce back. After three quiet runs over hurdles he was down the field at York 17 days ago.
13th	9 13th (9) (80/1 -21%) Blistering Barney	80 80/1(-21%)	(9) Blistering Barney 80/1, Course winner. 28/1, creditable fourth of 14 in handicap at Carlisle (11.2f, soft) 48 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Can give another good account. Good run last time; 1m6f winner here but has stamina to prove over quite this far.

LTO Selection:

Both Mothill (third) and Quantum Leap (winner) made a hash of the start when they clashed at Haydock last month and, while they are both open to improvement, the revised terms give the former a chance of turning that form around. However, there is no escaping the fact that GOLDEN SHOT has done nothing but flourish since Sir Mark Prescott stepped him up in trip and, on the back of 27-length success at Ffos Las, he is too progressive to oppose.

Plenty with chances but it's impossible to side against GOLDEN SHOT who still looks ahead of his mark under a 5 lb penalty for his wide-margin Ffos Las victory and also remains unexposed over staying trips. Both Alnilam and Quantum Leap have better days ahead of them too and can chase home Sir Mark Prescott's upwardly-mobile stayer in that order. Campaign Trail completes the shortlist.

The penalised Golden Shot will take some beating but QUANTUM LEAP appeals as a horse with a decent future ahead of him.

Fair sixth of 9 in handicap (10/3) at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Can give a good account. C&D winner off 52; scored off same mark at Bellewstown last month; still fairly treated.

7th	2 7th (2) (6/1 +8%) Morning Approach	6 6/1(+8%)	(2) Morning Approach 6/1, Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Good third of 17 in handicap at Naas (8f, soft, 12/1) 20 days ago, nearest finish. Not taken lightly. Couple of good runs this year including latest third of 17 at Naas; course winner.
8th	12 8th (12) (11/1 -57%) Tynamite	11 11/1(-57%)	(12) Tynamite 11/1, 5-time course winner. Excellent third of 14 in handicap (25/1) at Killarney (8.2f, good) 27 days ago.

14th	13 14th (13) (100/1 -25%) Sioux Grit	100 100/1(-25%)	(13) Sioux Grit 100/1, First run since leaving Gavin Patrick Cromwell when sixteenth of 18 in handicap at Naas (8f, soft, 100/1) 20 days ago. Needs a big step forward. 5yo has shown very little and impossible to make a case for her.

LTO Selection:

ALFARIDA, a winner over 7f at Roscommon in June, has finished runner-up on three occasions at Dundalk. She was caught on the line when beaten just a nose over this trip here last month and can go one better off a 2lb higher mark. Fleetfootsoldier has recorded two wins and a second from five starts in handicaps and was a C&D winner in March. He's 7lb higher now but is open to more improvement. The Bog Bank put in a below-par display at Gowran but is generally a very consistent performer. She registered her second C&D victory last month and regular rider James Ryan, partnering her for the 40th time, usually gets a good tune out of her.

Lots with chances. TYNAMITE has a superb course record and also rates the pick of these weights on the back of his excellent Killarney third so is taken to edge out Alfarida who just missed out over C&D last month. Morning Approach is another with winning form at the track who commands lots of respect.

Plenty with chances but ALFARIDA was beaten by the narrowest of margins here last month and can go one better

1	2 1st (2) (0.14/1 +53%) Elnajmm	0.14 0.14/1(+53%)	(2) Elnajmm 0.14/1, Promising sort who has come close in both starts this season, latest when second of 11 in minor event at Newmarket (8f, good) 25 days ago. The one to beat. Has gone close in both runs this term; sets the standard.
2	1 2nd (1) (6.5/1 -30%) Liseo	6.5 6.5/1(-30%)	(1) Liseo 6.5/1, Fairly useful gelding. Remains a maiden after 10 Flat runs. 6/1, creditable second of 5 in handicap at Epsom (10.1f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Should give another good account. Exposed but consistent; likely to perform well again.
3	4 3rd (4) (14/1 -17%) Walderstern	14 14/1(-17%)	(4) Walderstern 14/1, 320,000 gns yearling, Sea The Stars gelding. Half-brother to 1m winner Waldlowe and useful winner up to 1m Wanees. Interesting newcomer. 320,000gns yearling; by Sea The Stars; interesting newcomer.

LTO Selection:

Denied by the narrowest of margins over a mile at Newmarket last month, this represents a good opportunity for ELNAJMM to break his maiden tag. The fact that William Haggas' inmate has filled the runner-up spot on all three career starts suggests he can be firmly in the picture here and he is taken to get the better of Quietness, who finished a decent second over C&D on her racecourse bow in May. Liseo is another to bear in mind.

This looks good for ELNAJMM, who has hit the crossbar in both starts this season and remains with potential. Quietness gets the nod for the forecast.

Triple silver medallist ELNAJMM is top on bare figures and taken to go one better. Quietness is feared most.

Cheekpieces on first time. Dual winner but backward steps last twice and trainer turns to cheekpieces.
2	8 2nd (8) (4/1 -78%) Northern Spirit	4 4/1(-78%)	(8) Northern Spirit 4/1, Third win of the year when seeing off 6 rivals over C&D last month. Creditable second of 11 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) 19 days ago and the form has been boosted. Big player. Second at Yarmouth to Dark Trooper who completed a hat-trick at Ascot on Saturday.
3	1 3rd (1) (16/1 -100%) Johnny James	16 16/1(-100%)	(1) Johnny James 16/1, Backed at long odds when making a winning start in a 6f Catterick maiden in early June and followed up under a penalty at Southwell 11 days later. Reported to have made a noise when disappointing on 7f Haydock handicap debut since and now sports a tongue tie. Won his first two and reportedly made a noise over 7f on handicap debut.
4	2 4th (2) (2.25/1 +59%) Spirit Of Applause	2.25 2.25/1(+59%)	(2) Spirit Of Applause 2.25/1, Latest win at Haydock in May. Shaped as if still in good form when fifth of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good, 17/2) 17 days ago. Might just be vulnerable to sharper improvers off his current mark.
5th	6 5th (6) (5.5/1 +0%) Billyjoh	5.5 5.5/1(+0%)	(6) Billyjoh 5.5/1, 7/1, won 12-runner maiden at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) on debut in July. Stepped up on that form when third of 9 at Ripon (6f) since. Unexposed now moving into handicap company. Ripon third has been franked and doesn't look on too bad a mark for handicap debut.
6th	5 6th (5) (9/1 +18%) Mountain Warrior	9 9/1(+18%)	(5) Mountain Warrior 9/1, Won a 6f novice at Southwell in April. Good second on 6f Hamilton handicap debut in May and possibly worth forgiving his recent Doncaster run on heavy ground. Merits consideration. Progressing until reportedly unsuited by the soft ground when last at Doncaster.
7th	7 7th (7) (10/1 +38%) Kessaar Power	10 10/1(+38%)	(7) Kessaar Power 10/1, Won 6f handicaps at Chelmsford and Yarmouth this spring. Good second at Lingfield (6f, AW) in June but found run of good form coming to a halt at Windsor last time. Freshened up since. Was running well until Windsor last time and could bounce back.

LTO Selection:

This could be a useful reference point for the future as the likes of Northern Spirit, Mountain Warrior and Pinafore are all progressive three-year-olds with lots to offer as they gain further experience. However, SPIRIT OF APPLAUSE appeals most for an immediate return, as he takes a significant drop in class after a respectable fifth-placed finish in a more valuable handicap at Newmarket last month.

NORTHERN SPIRT has had the form of his latest Yarmouth second boosted and can show he's still on a good mark. Mountain Warrior had testing ground as an excuse for his poor run last time and can bounce back and provide the chief threat ahead of Pinafore.

Brian Ellison's NORTHERN SPIRIT (nap) has to be of strong interest after finishing second to a sharp improver at Yarmouth.

Off 165 days. Blinkers on 1st time. Looks competitive on form. Well beaten on stable debut over 2m here in March; now blinkered.

LTO Selection:

GOLDEN TWILIGHT landed this feature race 12 months ago and subsequently struck for the fourth time at this venue when holding off stablemate Ceallach last autumn. The selection has been consistent in top handicap company this year and should be suited by this drop back in trip. Higher Kingdom and Jungle Cove are closely matched on running behind Alanya in the 1m2f Ladies Derby at the Curragh last month. Save Your Love gained compensation for an unlucky run at the Curragh when scoring at Leopardstown, while C&D winner Burren Song ran too badly to be true in the valuable amateur riders' handicap at Galway.

The suggestion is GOLDEN TWILIGHT who has been successful on his last 4 visits here and arrives on the back of a good third at the Curragh last month. John McConnell's Higher Kingdom is another with a good record here and is second choice ahead of last month's Leopardstown scorer Save Your Love.

Michael Halford runs two and, although Ronan Whelan is on Ceallach, last year's winner GOLDEN TWILIGHT makes plenty of appeal

2	6 2nd (6) (3/1 +14%) Angel Of Peace	3 3/1(+14%)	(6) Angel Of Peace 3/1, Creditable third of 13 in handicap (5/2) at Bath (1¼m, good to soft) 20 days ago. Should go well again. Engaged 7.30 Windsor Monday. In-form 3yo maiden who gives the impression there's a race of this nature in her.
3	8 3rd (8) (6.5/1 -44%) Billaki Mou	6.5 6.5/1(-44%)	(8) Billaki Mou 6.5/1, 11/2, creditable second of 13 in handicap at Bath (1¼m, good to soft) 20 days ago. One to consider. Has form figures of 232 in his turf attempts since wearing visor; shortlisted.
4	5 4th (5) (11/1 -47%) Quoteline Direct	11 11/1(-47%)	(5) Quoteline Direct 11/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Good second of 12 in handicap (25/1) at Newcastle (1¼m) 55 days ago. Veteran who retains ability but hasn't scored on turf for five years.
4	1 4th (1) (22/1 -10%) Pysanka	22 22/1(-10%)	(1) Pysanka 22/1, Below form seventh of 13 in handicap (25/1) at Windsor (1m, good) 22 days ago. Up in trip. Bounce back needed. Chance partly depends on whether he improves for the new trip.
6th	3 6th (3) (5/1 +38%) Lisdarragh	5 5/1(+38%)	(3) Lisdarragh 5/1, Well held on AW here last time but claims on his second here (AW again) prior to that. Remains on a workable mark and has Hollie Doyle up for first time; respected.
7th	2 7th (2) (2.75/1 +21%) Calcutta Dream	2.75 2.75/1(+21%)	(2) Calcutta Dream 2.75/1, Dual AW winner in January. Good second of 9 in handicap at Yarmouth (1¼m. good) 34 days ago, never nearer. Has to be taken seriously. 0-9 on turf but ran well at Yarmouth most recently; possibilities off same mark.
8th	7 8th (7) (33/1 -136%) No Such Luck	33 33/1(-136%)	(7) No Such Luck 33/1, Modest performer. Well below best when eighth of 10 in classified event at Brighton (1¼m, good, 15/2) 6 days ago. Has failed to back up Windsor effort; not solid.

LTO Selection:

Quoteline Direct has been knocking on the door of late and the fact Aiden Brookes knocks 5lb off his back here makes him of additional interest, but CALCUTTA DREAM gets the vote. He did well to finish second over this distance at Yarmouth last month and, although he loses Adam Farragher's 3lb claim, must enter calculations if getting away on level terms here. Billaki Mou completes the shortlist.

A repeat of the form CALCUTTA DREAM showed when second at Yarmouth last time might be enough to see him go one better this time. Fellow northern raider Quoteline Direct can fill the forecast spot ahead of George Baker's Billaki Mou.

Off a workable mark and with Hollie Doyle on board, LISDARRAGH may be the answer. Billaki Mou is second choice.

2	1 2nd (1) (1.2/1 +47%) Buddy's Beauty	1.2 1.2/1(+47%)	(1) Buddy's Beauty 1.2/1, Off the mark over C&D in June and stepped up on that form when taking 8-runner handicap in impressive fashion at Leicester (5f, good) 47 days ago. 10 lb higher now but we may not have seen the best of her yet. An improving filly by the looks and major claims if handling forecast slower ground.
3	8 3rd (8) (4.5/1 +25%) Snow Berry	4.5 4.5/1(+25%)	(8) Snow Berry 4.5/1, Course winner who got back on scoreboard when landing 11-runner minor event at Yarmouth (5.2f, good) 14 days ago. Fairly treated, back handicapping, and must enter calculations. Fourth win of her career when coming out on top in a 5f classified race at Yarmouth.
4	3 4th (3) (10/1 +0%) Triple Jaye	10 10/1(+0%)	(3) Triple Jaye 10/1, 15/2, sixth of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (5f, good) 17 days ago. Yet to fire this term. Below par this season and held by Harry With Style on her last run.
5th	5 5th (5) (6/1 -20%) Harry With Style	6 6/1(-20%)	(5) Harry With Style 6/1, Latest win at Yarmouth in July. Respectable third of 8 in handicap (9/2) at Newmarket (5f, good) 17 days ago. Likely to be in the mix again. Maintained his good run of form when close up at Newmarket; won't mind rain.
6th	2 6th (2) (16/1 -78%) Moonlight Dreamer	16 16/1(-78%)	(2) Moonlight Dreamer 16/1, Failed to repeat form of Windsor third when well held in maiden (33/1) over same C&D (soft) 28 days ago. May do better now granted quicker conditions on handicap debut, though. Handicap debutant; not badly treated on his middle effort at Windsor; may need good ground.
7th	10 7th (10) (80/1 -21%) Breath Catcher	80 80/1(-21%)	(10) Breath Catcher 80/1, 100/1, last of 9 in handicap at Beverley (5f, soft) 22 days ago. Hard to recommend. No wins in 11 and has yet to produce an effort of note this season; others much safer.
8th	7 8th (7) (50/1 -100%) Poseidon Prince	50 50/1(-100%)	(7) Poseidon Prince 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fifth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 50/1) 11 days ago. Work to do. Only midfield on recent handicap debut at Wolverhampton when 50-1.
9th	9 9th (9) (18/1 -50%) Lady Jane Grey	18 18/1(-50%)	(9) Lady Jane Grey 18/1, 6/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 11 days ago. Others more persuasive. Not the easiest of rides and has gone 0-9 since her winning debut.

LTO Selection:

HARRY WITH STYLE still has plenty of scope to develop as a sprinter and, as he appears to be thriving on being kept busy since he won at Yarmouth last month, this slight ease in grade seems have come at the right time for John Ryan's three-year-old. Bang On The Bell and Unlimited Data are feared most, while Triple Jaye has something to find with the selection but can still go well in this company.

BUDDY'S BEAUTY showed a big chunk of improvement when scoring at Leicester last time and remains low mileage. She can complete the hat-trick. Snow Berry and Harry With Style can also make their presence felt.

Buddy's Beauty is improving but soft ground would ask questions. HARRY WITH STYLE is one alternative in his current vein of form.

2	15 2nd (15) (4.5/1 +63%) Celtic Revival	4.5 4.5/1(+63%)	(15) Celtic Revival 4.5/1, Course winner. 3 wins from 10 runs this year. 11/1, respectable eighth of 16 in handicap at Limerick (11.3f, good) 53 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. RESERVE. First reserve, three-time 1m4f course winner early in the year, weaker form at this trip.
3	10 3rd (10) (5/1 +29%) Nevada Brave	5 5/1(+29%)	(10) Nevada Brave 5/1, C&D winner. Thirteenth of 17 in handicap (18/1) at Navan (10f, good to soft) 65 days ago. Claims on best form. Only one pound above the mark at which he won here last winter, poor run on turf last time.

Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. 12/1, respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at this course (16f). Off 137 days. Significantly down in trip. Others preferred. First run after a break, second over 2m here last winter, long time since last Flat win.
6th	4 6th (4) (8/1 -78%) Kartayaz	8 8/1(-78%)	(4) Kartayaz 8/1, Three-time C&D winner who fared better than of late when creditable third of 12 in handicap at Hamilton (11.1f, soft) 31 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Likely contender. Better record on AW than on turf, encouraging that he was placed at Hamilton last time.
7th	5 7th (5) (18/1 +45%) Limited Edition	18 18/1(+45%)	(5) Limited Edition 18/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. First run since leaving James McAuley when thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Leopardstown (15f, good, 50/1) 61 days ago. Back down in trip. Work to do.

Improvement required on handicap debut. Not much encouragement from his form in maidens, cheekpieces tried for handicap debut.
11th	12 11th (12) (50/1 -52%) Ragtime Red	50 50/1(-52%)	(12) Ragtime Red 50/1, 4-time C&D winner. 25/1, tenth of 14 in handicap at this C&D. Off 6 months. Blinkers back on. Others more persuasive. All four wins have come over C&D, a long way below his best here last winter.
12th	14 12th (14) (50/1 -178%) Lightupthesky	50 50/1(-178%)	(14) Lightupthesky 50/1, Sixth of 15 in handicap at Gowran (7f, soft, 66/1) 17 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes polytrack debut. Still looking for first success. Long-priced sixth of 15 at Gowran was a step in the right direction, plenty more needed.
13th	6 13th (6) (25/1 +0%) Susie Wosie	25 25/1(+0%)	(6) Susie Wosie 25/1, Thrice-raced winner. 16/1, first run since leaving Noel Meade when sixth of 8 in handicap at Ballinrobe (9.4f, good to soft) 22 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Won a claiming race at Fairyhouse, never seemed to be going well at Ballinrobe; headgear.

LTO Selection:

BRIGHT N SHINE has gone close on his latest two outings and has scope for further improvement, with this drop in trip likely to suit. He was caught close home over 1m3f at Killarney before finding 1m5f just too far at Down Royal, and the booking of Colin Keane adds to confidence. Shining Aitch has shown promise over similar trips this summer and is another to consider along with the Luke Comer-trained pair Dark Street and Nevada Brave, who both won over C&D last winter. French Company has won twice at this venue and returns to the Polytrack after a promising run on turf when third to Belgoprince at Tipperary.

Preference is for KARTAYAZ, who returned to form at Hamilton last time and is only 2 lb above his last winning mark. Bright N Shine and French Company can also make their presence felt.

Colin Keane is a significant booking for BRIGHT N SHINE whose last two outings on turf provide grounds for thinking he can win a race

7th	9 7th (9) (16/1 -78%) Great Colaci	16 16/1(-78%)	(9) Great Colaci 16/1, 7-time course winner who shaped as if back in form when 2¼ lengths sixth of 12 to Her Way in handicap at this C&D 12 days ago, left with too much to do. Handy 7-lb claimer now takes over in the saddle and he's one to consider. Seven-time course winner over 7f/1m; has won over 1m3f and a possible off this good mark.

Enough to prove at present. Won her last 2 races in France last year; poor efforts over hurdles and on stable debut.
12th	7 12th (7) (80/1 -142%) Carlton	80 80/1(-142%)	(7) Carlton 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden.

Not in the same form back there (8f, soft) 19 days ago but was possibly unsuited by conditions. Back up in trip. Dual winner over 1m here, and scored over 1m on turf in June; yet to win over 1m2f.

LTO Selection:

DOUGIES DREAM has won two of his seven previous starts on the all-weather - both at this course - and still has the scope to improve over this trip. The gelding has seemed more focused since being fitted with cheekpieces earlier this year and he is has a lot going for him off a competitive rating. Recent C&D winner Her Way is feared most off just 4lb higher, although Jewel Maker also tends to go well here and commands respect with his yard in flying form.

WESTERN BEAT arrives on the back of two solid efforts, so she's taken to notch a second win over C&D. Dougies Dream was possibly unsuited by a return to softer ground at Doncaster last time and is better judged on his previous form, with 7-time course winner Great Colaci completing the shortlist.

In an open race GREAT COLACI is taken to win his eighth race on the course by reversing recent C&D form with Her Way.

First run for yard after leaving David Evans. Tongue strap on first time. One to note in the betting. Soundly beaten in three AW races for David Evans; drops in class.

LTO Selection:

Runner-up on his last three starts, ICONIC MOVER deserves a change in luck and this looks like an ideal opportunity to finally get off the mark at the 16th time of asking. The step up in trip is a major plus, and the five-year-old is narrowly preferred to All About Alice, who has been finding her way since joining new connections, and the capable Manyana.

ALL ABOUT ALICE was back on form at the second time of asking for new trainer Dylan Cunha when fifth in a Leicester handicap last time and might prove the answer to this concluding classified stakes. Iconic Mover, Manyana and Asense are others to consider.

The main contenders on recent form are still maidens after numerous attempts. Tentative preference is for ICONIC MOVER.

6th	2 6th (2) (200/1 -33%) Onemoreandaway	200 200/1(-33%)	(2) Onemoreandaway 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. First run since leaving John Joseph Hanlon when fourth of 7 in maiden (200/1) at Yarmouth (8f, good) 34 days ago. Much more needed. Better effort on stable debut last month, but still has plenty to find.

LTO Selection:

This represents a considerable drop in grade for FAKHAMA and the daughter of Kingman is fancied to build on a fair fourth in Listed company at York in May. William Haggas' filly kept on well to win over 7f on her debut at Newbury and, with improvement forthcoming, she can get the better of Shining Jewel. Hard Act To Follow is another to consider in the hands of Oisin Murphy.

FAKHAMA drops back down in grade after a York listed race fourth and is the clear form pick to defy a penalty for her Newbury debut success. Shining Jewel didn't confirm debut promise at the first time of asking, but has been given a break and she should still progress, so looks next best in a race lacking depth.

This can go to FAKHAMA who was thought good enough to tackle Listed company last time and wasn't disgraced.

This stiffer test should suit and he has an each-way chance. All wins at 7f, 4 of them on the AW; on a long losing run; now tries 1m2f for first time.
11th	12 11th (12) (33/1 +0%) Valstar	33 33/1(+0%)	(12) Valstar 33/1, Fourth of 6 in handicap at Thirsk (8f, good to soft, 11/1) 18 days ago. Up in trip for this tapeta debut and needs to raise her game a touch. Ten-race maiden; placed in 7f/1m handicaps; needs to improve for longer trip on AW debut.

LTO Selection:

IRON SHERIFF is versatile regarding the racing surface and, having maintained his progression when landing a similar type of event at Pontefract in June, this previous C&D winner rates as a live contender, despite shouldering 6lb more. Hildegard is also considered, as she is unexposed and has made notable improvement with cheekpieces applied in her last two starts, while Valstar and Coconut Bay are others that can go well too.

On the back of improved placed efforts at Kempton and Wolverhampton, HILDEGARD is taken to deservedly open her account now faced with a stiffer test. Indeed, she shapes as though this new trip is well worth exploring and is marginally preferred to Broctune Red, who was third to a progressive filly over C&D and should give another good account off this 1 lb lower mark. The in-form Iron Sheriff and handicap debutant Mass Consumption both need considering, too.

The vote goes to the unexposed MASS CONSUMPTION who is making his handicap debut over the longest distance he has tried so far.

Needs a couple of these to falter. Up and down lately, but has nothing to prove under the conditions having won over C&D.

LTO Selection:

A comfortable winner over 7f at this track last week, THOMAS EQUINAS is the one to beat stepping up in distance. He has to shoulder a 5lb penalty for that success, but did score with a bit up his sleeve and looks capable of going in again. Wallaroo posted a game win at Wolverhampton last month and is feared most off 3lb higher, while Chagall completes the shortlist.

THOMAS EQUINAS won in emphatic style here last week and looks well-in under his 5 lb penalty. He can follow up. Monaadhil and Chagall look the likeliest dangers.

Thomas Equinas beat MONAADHIL over 7f here last time, but the latter is taken to reverse the placings over this longer trip.

LTO Selection:

SEA THE DREAM was only headed late on when he tried to make all at Haydock last month, but impressed with his attitude when under pressure near the finish. That experience should have taught him plenty and he gets the vote to shed the maiden tag at the third time of asking. Star Runner is entitled to improve on his debut third at Kempton, while Golden West debuts for a yard that has enjoyed a good spell with their juveniles and the son of Masar is another notable contender.

It will look significant if there's market confidence behind newcomer GOLDEN WEST, who represents a leading 2-y-o yard and an entry in the Champagne Stakes suggests that he has been showing the right signs at home. He will need to be pretty decent to make a winning debut, given the level of ability that Galactic Charm and Sea The Dream have shown in two starts apiece.

Preference is for STAR RUNNER whose debut effort received a boost at Glorious Goodwood. Galactic Charm is second choice.

LTO Selection:

Only narrowly denied over this distance at Lingfield on his penultimate outing, RETURN TO DUBAI must hold every chance on the back of a fair run for fifth at Newmarket in June. Gelded since, the son of Ribchester remains unexposed and can take advantage of the switch to an artificial surface. He gets the vote ahead of the class and distance-dropping Wonder Legend, who finished in mid-division in the King George V Stakes at Royal Ascot. Diamond Ranger is another to bear in mind.

IMPERIAL ACE is enjoying a good season but still features on an attractive mark so is fancied to bag a third success with this return to 10f also a plus on his polytrack debut. Howth wasn't seen to best effect at Haydock last time and could emerge as the chief threat now he is easing in the weights. Diamond Ranger, Paris Lights and Return To Dubai all need factoring into an open handicap too.

The vote goes to dual C&D winner GREATGADIAN who returns to the AW off an inviting mark.

Makes handicap debut. Needs to bounce back. Decent 4th in novice in May; up in trip on AW/h'cap debut; blinkers tried; a possible.

LTO Selection:

The hat-trick seeking Making Dreams has done little wrong of late, but a 6lb penalty for his latest success, combined with the burden of top-weight, could see his losing run come to an end. Therefore, a tentative vote goes to the unexposed ROSENZOO, who finished a distant fourth at Newmarket on his latest outing. He makes both his nursery and Tapeta debut here and could be worth taking a chance on off an opening mark of 69. Mart is another to note in a first-time visor.

CLASSY CLARETS left the impression he'd have more to offer in nurseries at York last month and is taken to open his account. The hat-trick seeking Making Dreams is feared most, whilst Mart also enters calculations.

This can go to handicap debutant ROSENZOO who shaped with plenty of promise when fourth at Epsom two runs back.

5th	6 5th (6) (16/1 +0%) Valkyrian	16 16/1(+0%)	(6) Valkyrian 16/1, Winner at Windsor in May. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Chepstow (8.1f, good to soft, 16/1) 18 days ago. Back up in trip. Not taken lightly if shrugging off latest effort. Off the mark at Windsor in May, but out of the frame since; others more persuasive.
6th	8 6th (8) (9/1 +0%) Rosa Chinensis	9 9/1(+0%)	(8) Rosa Chinensis 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fair fourth of 7 in minor event at Newmarket (12f, good, 25/1) 18 days ago. Makes handicap debut but has something to find on form. Best effort in four starts when second at Kempton in June; can't be dismissed back on AW.
7th	2 7th (2) (20/1 -67%) Smiling Sunflower	20 20/1(-67%)	(2) Smiling Sunflower 20/1, Twelfth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 14/1) 40 days ago. Back up in trip. Blinkers on 1st time. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort. Back off her last winning mark, but still to prove she wants this far.
8th	3 8th (3) (25/1 +0%) Tahasun	25 25/1(+0%)	(3) Tahasun 25/1, C&D winner. 25/1, last of 11 in handicap at Leicester (10f, good) 26 days ago. Others appeal more. Much better on AW than on turf, her two wins both coming on Polytrack including over C&D.
9th	10 9th (10) (6/1 +45%) Creme Chantilly	6 6/1(+45%)	(10) Creme Chantilly 6/1, Lightly-raced course winner. 11/4, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Leicester (8.2f, good to firm) 78 days ago. Up in trip. Needs to get back on track. bred to relish the longer trip and return to this venue a plus, but has something to prove.

LTO Selection:

With two wins from three starts over 1m2f, this trip has brought the best out of MAYFAIR GOLD so far and, having responded kindly when tried in a hood over C&D last time out, she has a live chance with the headgear retained. Bath maiden winner Moonspirit and the lightly-raced Silver Nightfall both have scope to improve now they step up in trip.

George Boughey's MOONSPIRIT had a bit left in the tank when getting off the mark at Bath last month and appeals as the sort to keep improving now going into handicaps so she gets the vote. Mayfair Gold must enter calculations on the back of her good recent C&D second, while both Hey Lyla and Silver Nightfall are weighted to have a say too in this open-looking handicap.

This can go to MAYFAIR GOLD (nap) whose record over C&D reads 212. Her latest second could hardly be working out better.

Blinkers back on. Needs a couple of these to falter. Won over 8.5f on turf last season; not as good on the AW (only 8th over 7f here last time).
8th	1 8th (1) (28/1 -27%) Old News	28 28/1(-27%)	(1) Old News 28/1, Course winner. 11½ lengths tenth of 12 to Pop Favorite in handicap at this C&D (12/1) 55 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Chance on old form. Exposed; not at his best since 7f win here last September; tongue tied for first time.

10th	9 10th (9) (8.5/1 -31%) Hidden Code	8.5 8.5/1(-31%)	(9) Hidden Code 8.5/1, 9/4 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, sixth of 8 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good to firm) 52 days ago. Not out of things. 0-9; closely matched with Indication Rocket on C&D form in May; each-way chance.

LTO Selection:

In not the strongest of contests, preference lies with REFLEX, who finished a decent second, despite missing the break, over an extended mile at Wolverhampton last month. He is rated 1lb higher for the aforementioned run and is expected to build on that if getting away on level terms. Indication Rocket seemed to appreciate a return to the Flat most recently and is feared most dropping in distance, while Pop Favorite heads the remainder.

Preference is for REFLEX, who upped his game when second at Wolverhampton last month and still has few miles on the clock. Indication Rocket and El Jad rate the principal dangers.

The unexposed REFLEX (nap), who showed improved form in a first-time visor on his AW debut, is preferred to Indication Rocket.

LTO Selection:

There is a strong chance One For The Ladies can shine now she drops into a classified stakes for her first visit to this circuit. The five-year-old is already a dual winner on the all-weather and should handle this surface. However, GYPSY NATION is unexposed as a sprinter and, based on an a solid effort over C&D last week, he could be a bit of value against the mare. Cappananty Con is also considered.

A trappy classified event in which it could be worth siding with THE WAITING GAME to gain her maiden win now she has the services of Oisin Murphy and drops to 6f for the first time which should suit. Cappananty Con wasn't seen to best effect when eighth at Wolverhampton last time out so this C&D winner is next on the list ahead of One For The Ladies.

Preference is for the veteran STORM MELODY who drops to this level for the first time on his 97th outing.

Sizeable step forward needed now handicapping but he's in good hands and improvement is certainly possible. Not shown much in 3 qualifying runs but has an AW pedigree; interesting on handicap debut.

Hard to quibble with a 6 lb rise and he's a major player. Won 2 of last 3 Tapeta starts, convincing over C&D last time; capable of defying 6lb rise.
4	2 4th (2) (6/1 -20%) Little Ted	6 6/1(-20%)	(2) Little Ted 6/1, Unreliable type. 4/1, improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner handicap at this C&D 17 days ago, kept up to work. 5 lb rise fair enough but it remains to be seen if he will be able to reproduce that form. Ended losing run when C&D winner latest (first attempt over 1m on AW); weighted to go well.

7th	1 7th (1) (7/1 +22%) Absolute Dream	7 7/1(+22%)	(1) Absolute Dream 7/1, Course winner. Twelfth of 13 in handicap (28/1) at York (7.9f, good) 18 days ago. Has dipped to a very attractive mark and, though disappointing subsequent to an encouraging effort at Thirsk in June, he has to be respected now eased in class. Dual 6f winner here; has won at 1m; well treated but mostly out of form this year.

Back down in trip and cheekpieces refitted. Others make more appeal. Mostly modest in 2023 but down weights and perhaps return to 1m will suit; acts on Tapeta.

Record stands at 0-14 and likely to find one or two too good once again. Series of good efforts on AW and turf in the spring; finished miles back on latest 2 runs.

LTO Selection:

LITTLE TED took a big step forward when scoring over C&D on his most recent run and Tim Easterby's charge is fancied to follow up, despite a 5lb raised mark. However, Urban Road should not be taken lightly having also recorded a comfortable win over C&D at the same meeting and he can give the selection plenty to think about off 6lb higher. The unexposed Port Erin completes the shortlist on his handicap debut.

Though winless following a dozen attempts, DUKE OF WYBOURNE went close off an 11 lb higher mark over C&D on his latest visit here in April. He has largely struggled since but took a step back in the right direction when third in first-time cheekpieces at Thirsk recently and perhaps the more severe headgear he sports here will help eke out a bit more. Urban Road did the job well over C&D last time and is feared most ahead of Absolute Dream, who looks dangerous now dropping to 0-60 company.

Port Erin is intriguing on his handicap debut but LITTLE TED was a convincing winner of his first C&D attempt and is preferred.

LTO Selection:

Cuban Grey is noted after several consistent efforts, but he is burdened with giving weight away all round and a wide draw does him no favours. Similar comments apply to recent Wolverhampton winner Speed Dial Baileys, who could have been better positioned than stall eight to cope with a 5lb higher mark. With all that in mind, a chance is taken on DARLO PRIDE, who is still unexposed and appeals given the form of his latest start has worked out reasonably well.

PROFITABLE DAWN is still to register a victory but she caught the eye when an unlucky-in-running sixth at Yarmouth last time so is worth siding with off a 2 lb lower mark. Autumnal Breeze is feared most on the back of her good recent Ayr second, with Wolverhampton scorer Speed Dial Baileys also well in the mix.

Autumnal Breeze is respected but SPEED DIAL BAILEYS looked to have AW potential when winning at Wolverhampton and is preferred.

12th	1 12th (1) (20/1 +9%) Esticky End	20 20/1(+9%)	(1) Esticky End 20/1, Unreliable sort. C&D winner. Ninth of 10 in handicap (33/1) at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm) 47 days ago, slowly away. Others more persuasive. C&D winner as a 2yo, but his last few efforts leave plenty to be desired; best watched.
13th	13 13th (13) (40/1 +39%) Miss Snuggles	40 40/1(+39%)	(13) Miss Snuggles 40/1, Tenth of 12 in minor event at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to soft, 50/1) 11 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and hopes pinned on the new headgear sparking improvement. Unplaced in all six starts and needs to improve for the cheekpieces.

LTO Selection:

NORTHBOUND has been in consistent form this season and recent efforts on turf would suggest that another win may be just around the corner, especially over a C&D which he was successful over this time last year. Denied by the narrowest of margins at Wolverhampton, Bold Territories must be thereabouts again, along with Hezahunk for his in-form connections. Completing the shortlist are the likes of Guest List, Muddy Lynn and Rockin Rosa.

BOLD TERRITORIES signalled that his turn is very near when just touched off at Wolverhampton 11 days ago and, granted a positive response to the first-time visor, he may well confirm that impression by emerging on top here. He may have most to fear from Rockin Rosa, who will surely shed her maiden tag sooner rather than later judged on her recent near-miss over C&D in first-time cheekpieces (retained). Hezahunk and Northbound are others with appealing claims.

Preference is for C&D winner NORTHBOUND who only found one too good on turf last time and races off the same mark.

21:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 5f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (5/1 -11%) Ben Macdui	5 5/1(-11%)	(6) Ben Macdui 5/1, Course winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Sixth of 9 in handicap (6/1) at Catterick (5f, good) 27 days ago. Since undergone a wind op and would have a serious chance off this reduced mark were that procedure to trigger a return to form. Winner at 6f here; some fair form this term, including over C&D; back after a wind op.
2	11 2nd (11) (10/1 -43%) Rainbow Rain	10 10/1(-43%)	(11) Rainbow Rain 10/1, 9/2, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 41 days ago. 4 lb rise fair enough and he will be a danger to all if able to reproduce that level of form back on the AW with cheekpieces refitted. 6f turf winner last time; drop to 5f a concern and only third run on AW; a possible.
3	2 3rd (2) (25/1 +38%) Azucena	25 25/1(+38%)	(2) Azucena 25/1, C&D winner. 40/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 12 days ago. Back down in trip. Yard also saddles Jarvis. C&D winner; poor form at up to 7f this season; excuses last time but plenty to prove.
4	5 4th (5) (2/1 +67%) Wee Fat Mac	2 2/1(+67%)	(5) Wee Fat Mac 2/1, Course winner. 17/2 and tongue strap on for 1st time, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Ayr (5f, good) 3 days ago, just holding on. More needed here under a penalty. Winner for A Young over 5f at Ayr on Saturday; just as effective on the AW; chance.
5th	10 5th (10) (18/1 +28%) Tathmeen	18 18/1(+28%)	(10) Tathmeen 18/1, Five-time C&D winner. 3 wins from 18 runs this year. 22/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at this course (6f) 12 days ago. Needs to bounce back but would be a threat were he to do just that. Regular AW winner over 5f/6f; not at his best lately and others have stronger claims.
6th	7 6th (7) (28/1 -12%) Annie Maher	28 28/1(-12%)	(7) Annie Maher 28/1, 18/1, first run since leaving Michael Bell when ninth of 10 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good) 21 days ago. Looks vulnerable. 5,000gns purchase; well beaten on turf on stable debut but better than that; acts on AW.
7th	3 7th (3) (18/1 -29%) Jarvis	18 18/1(-29%)	(3) Jarvis 18/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 4/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 35 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time and he's on a good mark should the headgear have the desired effect. Irish AW maiden winner; mainly out of form; well treated, new headgear but bit to prove.
8th	4 8th (4) (4.5/1 +0%) Yaahobby	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(4) Yaahobby 4.5/1, Improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner handicap (9/4) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 21 days ago, running on. Up 8 lb and he's not a frequent winner but he's a key player nonetheless. Back up 8lb for 5f AW win last time but has run well off much higher marks in the past.
9th	1 9th (1) (3.33/1 +17%) Golden Rainbow	3.33 3.33/1(+17%)	(1) Golden Rainbow 3.33/1, C&D winner. Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm, 25/1). Off 91 days. Visor back on and should be involved in the finish. C&D winner in 2022; decent 4th on turf in May but off since; should improve for the run.
10th	12 10th (12) (50/1 -127%) Chattel Village	50 50/1(-127%)	(12) Chattel Village 50/1, 40/1, good fifth of 13 in handicap at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 52 days ago. Has work to do if he's to get his head in front here. Close 5th at Redcar in June (6f) but well beaten in one previous AW run.

LTO Selection:

Turned out again quickly after getting up late at Ayr on Saturday, WEE FAT MAC is aiming to strike while the iron is hot under a 5lb penalty. The fact he has won here twice is another major plus and Iain Jardine's charge may have too much for comfortable Wolverhampton scorer Yaahobby. Golden Rainbow is beginning to get the hang of things for his new connections, while Rainbow Rain is arriving on the back of a taking success at Thirsk.

The one who appeals most is RAINBOW RAIN, who returned to form when getting the better of dual subsequent winner Quercus at Thirsk and, all things considered, a 4 lb rise looks fair. It's no great concern that he failed to fire both previous attempts on the all-weather, as he has evidently improved since. Fellow last-time-out winner Yaahobby and Golden Rainbow rate the main dangers, though Jarvis is also considered off a potentially handy mark and Ben Macdui is another with possibilities.

The unexposed DALTON LANE ran really well over C&D on his debut and is taken to get off the mark on his handicap debut.

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

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

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses.
