13:45 Salisbury Handicap (Class 5) 7f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (2/1 -60%) Twilight Dancer	2 2/1(-60%)	(5) Twilight Dancer 2/1, Lightly-raced filly who took a marked step forward on just her second turf outing to score over 7f at Epsom (good to firm) last month. Went like the best horse at the weights when third over the same C&D (good to soft) next time and she remains of interest. Good 7f win at Epsom but raced away from favoured strip when 3rd there since; solid claims.
2	2 2nd (2) (8.5/1 -89%) Abbey's Dream	8.5 8.5/1(-89%)	(2) Abbey's Dream 8.5/1, Exclusively campaigned on synthetics so far, winning twice over 7f at Newcastle earlier this year. Didn't shape badly back from a 5-month break over that C&D recently and she could have a part to play if taking to turf at the first attempt. Dual 7f winner on AW; just above winning mark; should handle turf on breeding.
3	1 3rd (1) (5.5/1 +66%) Jenson Benson	5.5 5.5/1(+66%)	(1) Jenson Benson 5.5/1, Four-time winner on the AW who posted his best effort on turf when fifth in a 12-runner handicap over a mile here back in August 2021. However, he hasn't shown much in 2 starts since returning from a break, including back on grass at Leicester a fortnight ago. All 4 wins on AW; not himself since close 3rd in April, including on turf latest.
4	3 4th (3) (2.75/1 +21%) Storymaker	2.75 2.75/1(+21%)	(3) Storymaker 2.75/1, In the frame in all but one of her 6 career starts, finishing a respectable third in first-time cheekpieces at Epsom (7f, good to soft) last time. Eased 1 lb and still has time on her side but improvement needed if she's to open her account here. Not obviously well treated in three handicaps so far, on AW and soft turf (about 7f).
5th	6 5th (6) (5/1 +50%) Revolutionary Man	5 5/1(+50%)	(6) Revolutionary Man 5/1, In good form during the spring, successful on the AW at Lingfield in May and went close on turf there and at Yarmouth later that month. Form has dipped the last twice but edging back down the weights and will be a threat granted a return to form. All 5 wins on AW; 0-13 on turf but two near-misses in May; well held last twice.
6th	4 6th (4) (9/1 +0%) Diamond Cottage	9 9/1(+0%)	(4) Diamond Cottage 9/1, Multiple winner of 7f Brighton handicaps this season, the latest off a 1 lb lower mark in June. However, she failed to beat a rival home in a 10-runner handicap here last time, so needs to bounce back. Three 7f wins at Brighton in 2023; below best last twice but does have C&D form.

LTO Selection:

Abbey's Dream and TWILIGHT DANCER are both allotted a weight-for-age allowance and, while the former has shown a good level of ability on the all-weather, the latter is the more proven on turf and Jonathan Portman's filly looks the one to side with here. The selection has improved since being stepped up to 7f and she has the scope to build on what has been a sequence of decent efforts of late. Storymaker appeals most from the older brigade.

Though turned over at short odds at Epsom recently, TWILIGHT DANCER shaped like the best horse at the weights and she is taken to resume winning ways off the same mark with faster ground forecast here. If able to bounce back following a couple of low-key efforts, Revolutionary Man could emerge as the main danger ahead of turf debutante Abbey's Dream.

This can go to TWILIGHT DANCER (nap) who wasn't seen to best advantage at Epsom recently after a convincing win there previously.

14:00 Beverley Maiden (Class 5) 5f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
11	11 (11) (10/1 +9%) Filly One	10 10/1(+9%)	(11) Filly One 10/1, Foaled April 18. £16,000 yearling, Calyx filly. Dam, 5f/6f winner, sister to high-class sprinter Hoof It. Yard 2-6 with their juveniles so far this term and she wouldn't need to be anything out of the ordinary to figure on debut. Cost £16,000 and is out of a multiple winning dam, who hasn't produced much of note.
2	2 (2) (50/1 -355%) Fidelius	50 50/1(-355%)	(2) Fidelius 50/1, Foaled May 7. Harry Angel colt. Dam, 5f/6f winner, half-sister to useful 2-y-o 5f winner Bear Cheek. Yard 0-8 with their juveniles on turf so far this campaign but the market should prove a useful guide on debut. Bred to be speedy and market should be a decent guide as to what is expected on debut.
1	3 1st (3) (0.44/1 +45%) Midnight Lir	0.44 0.44/1(+45%)	(3) Midnight Lir 0.44/1, Lightly-raced gelding. Good second of 8 in nursery at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to soft, 4/1) 20 days ago, edged out final 50 yds. Rates the one to beat returned to maiden company. Has had a few chances but decent prospects judged on latest effort when back at 5f.
2	13 2nd (13) (3.5/1 +36%) Mia Toretto	3.5 3.5/1(+36%)	(13) Mia Toretto 3.5/1, Once-raced filly. 25/1, third of 7 in maiden at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) on debut 17 days ago, knowing her job and no extra last ½f. Leading player here. Ability on debut but needs a reasonable step forward if she's to beat the market leader.
3	5 3rd (5) (33/1 -230%) Arlington	33 33/1(-230%)	(5) Arlington 33/1, Foaled March 26. Washington Dc gelding. Half-brother to 6f winner Ayasha and 2-y-o 6f winner Armageddon. Dam maiden (raced only at 5f/6f). Another worthy of a check in the betting for clues on racecourse bow. Half-brother to a couple of 6f winners and one to keep an eye on in the market on debut.
4	7 4th (7) (80/1 -60%) Mereside Madness	80 80/1(-60%)	(7) Mereside Madness 80/1, Once-raced colt. Tenth of 11 in maiden (40/1) at Thirsk (5f, heavy) on debut 11 days ago, slowly into stride and always behind. Well beaten over 5f on soft on debut; would want to see plenty of market support.
5th	1 5th (1) (20/1 +9%) Batal Dandy	20 20/1(+9%)	(1) Batal Dandy 20/1, 35,000 gns 2-y-o, Dandy Man colt. Very weak in the betting and offered little when tenth of 11 in York novice (7f) on debut last month. This ought to reveal more. Big price and well beaten on debut; enough to prove back in trip on these terms.
6th	9 6th (9) (100/1 -300%) Yiengaa	100 100/1(-300%)	(9) Yiengaa 100/1, Foaled January 29. 28,000 gns yearling, Land Force filly. Dam, 6f winner (including at 2 yrs), half-sister to useful 1m winner (stayed 10.5f) Madeed. Yard's 2-y-os usually better for a run. First foal of a 6f-7f winner and one to watch on debut unless there's plenty of support.
7th	4 7th (4) (28/1 +72%) Uwaittillplaytime	28 28/1(+72%)	(4) Uwaittillplaytime 28/1, Once-raced gelding. Seventh of 9 in maiden (66/1) at Pontefract (6f, good) on debut 7 days ago, running green halfway and left behind early in straight. Best watched on the back of that from widest draw. Soundly beaten over 6f on debut and has a fair bit to find on these terms.
8th	10 8th (10) (18/1 -13%) Alice's Impact	18 18/1(-13%)	(10) Alice's Impact 18/1, Once-raced filly. Sixth of 8 in maiden at Pontefract (6f, good, 11/1) on debut 7 days ago, racing well off the pace and merely passing beaten rivals. This should reveal more. Hint of ability on debut and yard going well but needs a big step forward to win.
9th	12 9th (12) (33/1 -106%) Hyrcanian	33 33/1(-106%)	(12) Hyrcanian 33/1, Twice-raced filly. 9/2, eighth of 10 in minor event at this C&D (soft) 15 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Another who will be better suited by nurseries moving forward. Similar level of moderate form on both starts and type to do better in nurseries.
10th	6 10th (6) (100/1 -203%) Gottomakeashilling	100 100/1(-203%)	(6) Gottomakeashilling 100/1, Foaled March 5. £10,000 2-y-o, Eqtidaar gelding. Dam, 2-y-o 6f winner, half-sister to very smart multiple 5f winner Extortionist. Yard 0-16 with their juveniles in last 5 seasons. Trainer not associated with debut 2yo winners and one to take on unless the cash arrives.

LTO Selection:

MIDNIGHT LIR found only a subsequent winner too good on his nursery debut at Yarmouth last month and looks the one to beat on this return to maiden company. Of the others, who have raced, Mia Toretto could prove the chief threat. The David O'Meara-trained filly finished a respectable third on her opening bid at Pontefract in late-July and is entitled to build on that effort here. Newcomer Fidelius possesses enough speed in his pedigree to suggest he could have a say too.

MIDNIGHT LIR was quickly back to his best when runner-up in a Yarmouth nursery 3 weeks ago and, lining up in a maiden lacking depth, he can finally open his account. Mia Toretto knew her job and showed ability when third on debut at Pontefract and she can also feature. Fidelius and Filly One are a couple of newcomers to note in the betting for clues.

A race that lacks depth can go to MIDNIGHT LIR, who has shown more than enough to suggest he will take all the beating.

14:15 Salisbury Stakes (Class 4) 6f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
4	4 (4) (40/1 +0%) Hinitsa Bay	40 40/1(+0%)	(4) Hinitsa Bay 40/1, Expensive breeze-up buy but well held both starts. Looks one for handicaps.
1	7 1st (7) (0.62/1 +44%) Mister Sketch	0.62 0.62/1(+44%)	(7) Mister Sketch 0.62/1, Territories colt. Dam unraced half-sister to useful winner up to 7f Rimth. 18/1, close second of 12 in novice at Newbury (6f, good) on debut 25 days ago. May well do better. Mill Reef entry; close second at Newbury on debut; holds very strong claims.
2	8 2nd (8) (18/1 -227%) Sedgemoor	18 18/1(-227%)	(8) Sedgemoor 18/1, Foaled February 4. €50,000 yearling, Churchill colt. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner. One to note. 50,000euros yearling; by Churchill and related to winners for the Hannon yard.
3	9 3rd (9) (4.5/1 +44%) St Lukes Chelsea	4.5 4.5/1(+44%)	(9) St Lukes Chelsea 4.5/1, 50,000 gns foal, 78,000 gns yearling, Territories colt. Half-brother to several winners, including 1m-13f winner Wentwood and useful 7f-1¼m winner Brayden Star. Dam maiden (stayed 1m). 12/1, ninth of 13 in novice at Chelmsford City (6f) on debut 17 days ago. Should learn from that experience. Only ninth at Chelmsford on debut; withdrawn (upset in stalls) last Friday.
4	1 4th (1) (8/1 -60%) Avoriaz	8 8/1(-60%)	(1) Avoriaz 8/1, Foaled April 19. 100,000 gns yearling, Advertise colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart 1m/8.3f winner Princess Loulou and useful 1¼m/11f winner Forbidden Planet. Dam maiden (stayed 1m). Likely type. 100,000gns yearling; Advertise half-brother to six winners; interesting newcomer.
5th	6 5th (6) (25/1 -25%) Laabbij	25 25/1(-25%)	(6) Laabbij 25/1, €62,000 foal, 110,000 gns yearling, Acclamation colt. Dam unraced half-sister to useful French winner up to 1m Sceptre Rouge out of useful French 1m winner Marque Royale. 22/1, last of 13 in novice at Newbury (6.5f, firm) on debut 62 days ago. Absent since his inauspicious debut at Newbury two months ago.
6th	5 6th (5) (7.5/1 +25%) Insignia	7.5 7.5/1(+25%)	(5) Insignia 7.5/1, £85,000 yearling, Land Force colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 2-y-o 6f/7f winner Tatsumaki and winner up to 7f Ascot Adventure. Dam 7f-1m winner. Sixth of 10 in novice at Windsor (6f, good, 13/2) on debut 18 days ago, inadequate test. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Windsor debut effort was modest but he may do better; cheekpieces applied.
7th	3 7th (3) (25/1 -39%) Forest Guest	25 25/1(-39%)	(3) Forest Guest 25/1, Foaled March 27. Bungle Inthejungle gelding. Dam 6f winner who stayed 1¼m. Wears hood. Debutant by Bungle Inthejungle and first foal of a 6f AW scorer; check the betting.
8th	2 8th (2) (125/1 -89%) Clear Justice	125 125/1(-89%)	(2) Clear Justice 125/1, Well held in novices at Newbury/Wolverhampton. Handicaps more suitable after this.

LTO Selection:

MISTER SKETCH is built for speed on his dam's side of the pedigree and, having made a highly encouraging debut at Newbury last month, he could be hard to beat if taking a step forward here. Avoriaz is a half-brother to six winners and looks the most appealing of the newcomers, although Sedgemoor is another to note in the betting as he represents a team enjoying a solid season with their juveniles.

MISTER SKETCH was only just denied at Newbury on debut and can put that experience to good use over newcomers Avoriaz and Sedgemoor, who both look likely types.

Mill Reef entry MISTER SKETCH is the clear pick on form. Avoriaz and Sedgemoor are interesting newcomers.

14:15 Salisbury Stakes (Class 4) 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:25 Yarmouth Stakes (Class 5) 10f - 3 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (0.03/1 +70%) Red Danielle	0.03 0.03/1(+70%)	(2) Red Danielle 0.03/1, Fairly useful form. Hooded first time, second of 13 in novice at Newbury (1¼m, good, 7/2) 25 days ago, clear of rest. Can't oppose. Sets a very useful standard on her second at Newbury and this looks a golden opportunity.
2	3 2nd (3) (16/1 -60%) Gino's Girl	16 16/1(-60%)	(3) Gino's Girl 16/1, Twice-raced maiden. 15/2, fourth of 6 in novice at Lingfield (9f, heavy) 11 days ago. Modest form in both runs this summer; will be more interesting when switched to handicaps.
3	1 3rd (1) (33/1 -136%) Dome Of Stars	33 33/1(-136%)	(1) Dome Of Stars 33/1, Twice-raced maiden. Last of 6 in novice at Beverley (8.4f, good to soft) in April. Off since. Made a low-key start at Newcastle and was tailed off at Beverley in April.

LTO Selection:

RED DANIELLE found only subsequent Listed winner Sweet Memories too good in a smart novice event at Newbury last month. This drop in class should prove a straightforward opportunity for the Roger Varian-trained filly to shed her maiden tag and she is hard to oppose. There is little separating Gino's Girl and Dome Of Stars on their best form, but the latter must prove her well-being after being beaten a long way at Beverley in April.

A repeat of anything like the form RED DANIELLE has shown when runner-up twice this summer will surely see her get off the mark here.

This looks a golden opportunity for RED DANIELLE, who sets a useful standard on her clear second in a hot novice at Newbury last month.

14:25 Yarmouth Stakes (Class 5) 10f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:35 Beverley Maiden (Class 5) 5f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
5	5 (5) (18/1 +73%) Mist Rollin In	18 18/1(+73%)	(5) Mist Rollin In 18/1, Once-raced colt. Last of 12 in minor event (66/1) at Nottingham (6.1f, good to soft) on debut 6 days ago, pushed along before halfway and weakening. Can only be watched. Useful pedigree but 66-1 and finished last of 12 on last week's Nottingham debut over 6f.
1	1 1st (1) (1.5/1 +25%) Hint Of The Jungle	1.5 1.5/1(+25%)	(1) Hint Of The Jungle 1.5/1, Bungle Inthejungle colt who fared best of the newcomers when fifth of 12 in maiden at Windsor (5.1f) early last month. Entitled to do better with that under his belt and fancied to play a lead role. Sprint pedigree; encouraging 5th behind subsequent winner on 5f Windsor debut; improve.
2	7 2nd (7) (20/1 -186%) Winged Messenger	20 20/1(-186%)	(7) Winged Messenger 20/1, Once-raced gelding. 22/1, looked badly in need of the experience when ninth of 10 in minor event at this C&D (soft) on debut 15 days ago. In good hands and this promises to reveal more. Never involved after slow start over C&D but glimmer of late promise; can do better.
3	2 3rd (2) (8.5/1 +23%) Ingleby Archie	8.5 8.5/1(+23%)	(2) Ingleby Archie 8.5/1, Foaled March 26. €26,000 2-y-o, James Garfield colt. Dam 6f winner (including at 2 yrs). Betting ought to reveal some clues. 26,000euros 2yo; speed in pedigree; yard not yet off the mark with 2yos this year (0-26).
4	6 4th (6) (33/1 -267%) Profit Street	33 33/1(-267%)	(6) Profit Street 33/1, Foaled March 31. €28,000 foal, 16,000 gns yearling, Profitable gelding. Half-brother to 2-y-o 7f winner Not Even Close. Dam, third at 1m (stayed 1¼m), out of close relative of very smart 9.5f-1½m winner Saddex. 16,000gns yearling; yard doesn't concentrate on 2yo races and 0-41 in them this year.
5th	3 5th (3) (2/1 +27%) Whogoesthere	2 2/1(+27%)	(3) Whogoesthere 2/1, Speedily bred sort who matched previous best (fair form) when fourth of 6 in maiden company at Ayr (5f) 23 days ago. Doesn't look all that progressive but he's a player nevertheless in a maiden lacking depth. Solid rather than progressive at 5f; this looks less competitive than latest Ayr defeat.
6th	4 6th (4) (100/1 -203%) Buzz Box	100 100/1(-203%)	(4) Buzz Box 100/1, Once-raced gelding. Tenth of 12 in maiden at Catterick (6f, good, 100/1) on debut 21 days ago, weakening over 1f out having showed some speed early on. This will reveal more. Some sprinters close up in pedigree; showed little for immediate future on Catterick debut.
7th	9 7th (9) (50/1 -79%) Grid Iron Maiden	50 50/1(-79%)	(9) Grid Iron Maiden 50/1, Sogann filly. Half-sister to 7f winner Wotever Next. Hinted at ability when sixth of 12 in maiden (50/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) on debut 18 days ago, fading final 1f but not unduly punished. Likely type for later on. 50-1, minor mid-race promise on AW debut over 7f; up against it over 5f from widest draw.
8th	11 8th (11) (6.5/1 +19%) Nouveaux	6.5 6.5/1(+19%)	(11) Nouveaux 6.5/1, Twice-raced filly. 40/1, stepped up on debut effort when third of 8 in maiden at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 12 days ago. That was still only modest form but still early days and she's an each-way player from a handy draw. Modest debut but very creditable 3rd dropped to 5f on AW since; can improve further.
9th	8 9th (8) (14/1 +13%) Bobina	14 14/1(+13%)	(8) Bobina 14/1, Once-raced filly. Sixth of 10 in minor event (66/1) at this C&D (soft) on debut 15 days ago, merely closing up late having raced off the pace. Entitled to be sharper with that under her belt. Slowly away and ran green but took a late 6th on C&D debut; should come on for run.
10th	10 10th (10) (66/1 -136%) Nevzilla	66 66/1(-136%)	(10) Nevzilla 66/1, Twice-raced filly. Sixth of 9 in maiden at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to soft, 33/1) 12 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Tailed off on debut (6f) then dropped right out over 7f; handicaps the next step.
11th	12 11th (12) (66/1 -100%) Red Iris	66 66/1(-100%)	(12) Red Iris 66/1, Twice-raced filly. Seventh of 10 in minor event (66/1) at this C&D (soft) 15 days ago. Likely type for nurseries in due course. Big prices both starts, showing more on 2nd start; can progress; handicaps an option soon.

LTO Selection:

Whogoesthere has run well enough on all three appearances to suggest that he can land a race of this nature, with Declan Carroll's gelding sure to prove popular. Nevertheless, HINT OF THE JUNGLE offered plenty of encouragement on his debut fifth at Windsor last month and is fancied to find enough improvement to gain a breakthrough success here. Nouveaux appeared to appreciate the drop to 5f when finishing third at Wolverhampton recently and completes the shortlist now reverting to turf.

HINT OF THE JUNGLE did best of the newcomers when fifth in a Windsor maiden in July and, with progress anticipated, he gets the nod to come out on top for his in-form yard. Whogoesthere rates the lead threat, ahead of Nouveaux.

This can go to HINT OF THE JUNGLE who can improve enough on an encouraging Windsor debut to win what looks an uncompetitive maiden.

This is potentially the deeper of the two divisions of this race, with Pianoforte, Flavour Maker and Ten Bob Tony all looking the part on paper, and the betting can be informative where that trio is concerned. However, FINBAR FUREY just shades preference given he is a full-brother to Pennine Hills, a 6f winner on debut as a juvenile, and Grizzel, a Grade 3-winning miler in Canada. The added bonus is his in-form yard's appealing strike-rate with their two-year-olds this season.

The pair with previous racecourse experience don't set a tall standard so it makes sense to focus on the newcomers, MOYASSR getting the nod to score first time up before the aid of market clues. Flavour Maker also ticks plenty of boxes so he's fancied to be involved, with Pianoforte and Finbar Furey another couple worth keeping a close eye on.

Judge Frank sets the standard but he takes on several interesting newcomers, most notably MOYASSR and Flavour Maker.

Has races in him. Didn't get any luck when third in AW classified event on Monday; respected upped to 1m.
2	10 2nd (10) (11/1 -47%) Rayena	11 11/1(-47%)	(10) Rayena 11/1, Step back in the right direction when third of 8 in a classified event (40/1) at Brighton (1m, good) 7 days ago. Can play a part if she can back that up. 0-6 but was promising third at Brighton last time and has claims if she can build on that.
3	3 3rd (3) (80/1 -60%) Fast Flo	80 80/1(-60%)	(3) Fast Flo 80/1, Poor maiden. Ninth of 10 in handicap (150/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f). Off 152 days. Cheekpieces back on. Poor maiden who has yet to finish placed after 14 starts; no appeal.
4	5 4th (5) (11/1 +8%) Naadyaa	11 11/1(+8%)	(5) Naadyaa 11/1, Remains a maiden after 22 Flat runs but was second in a similar event over C&D last month. Could figure if a below-par run at Brighton last week is forgiven. Placed in two classified events this summer but she struggled last time and is now 0-22.
5th	2 5th (2) (2/1 -23%) Available Angel	2 2/1(-23%)	(2) Available Angel 2/1, Won this last year and should make a bold bid for a repeat after bouncing back to form to finish second in a C&D handicap 15 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Expected to be bang there. Won this race last year and was a good second back over C&D last time; big player.
6th	8 6th (8) (8.5/1 +6%) Intoxicata	8.5 8.5/1(+6%)	(8) Intoxicata 8.5/1, AW winner in June but has struggled in her 3 outings since. Bounce back needed. Made a winning handicap debut in June but that hasn't been a springboard to better things.
7th	9 7th (9) (40/1 -21%) James Bradley	40 40/1(-21%)	(9) James Bradley 40/1, Modest gelding. Twelfth of 13 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, good to soft, 66/1) 21 days ago. Back down in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Has lost his way and he needs to turn things around; cheekpieces added.
8th	11 8th (11) (100/1 -52%) Roxy's Charm	100 100/1(-52%)	(11) Roxy's Charm 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 66/1, tenth of 15 in handicap at Leicester (7f, good) 27 days ago. Has struggled in all four runs and needs a transformation on this step up to 1m.
9th	6 9th (6) (7.5/1 +25%) Night Traveller	7.5 7.5/1(+25%)	(6) Night Traveller 7.5/1, Modest filly. 7/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 28 days ago but had been a respectable fourth on her yard debut there prior to that. Record of 1-17 and she was laboured at Wolverhampton last time; others preferred.
10th	4 10th (4) (40/1 -100%) Lite And Airy	40 40/1(-100%)	(4) Lite And Airy 40/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 250/1, eleventh of 13 in maiden at Chelmsford (1m) 22 days ago. More chance now competing at a basement level and worth a second look in the betting. Unexposed 4yo and he needs checking in the market on this switch to a classified event.

LTO Selection:

AVAILABLE ANGEL recently ran her best race of the season when runner-up over C&D in handicap company, and ticks plenty of boxes in her bid to win this contest for the second year in a row. Rayena wasn't disgraced when a staying-on third in a similar event at Brighton last week and reproduction of that performance would likely see Patrick Owens' filly involved once more. Intoxicata and Naadyaa are others to note at this level.

After bouncing back to form here last time AVAILABLE ANGEL might be good for a second successive win in this classified stakes. Last week's Brighton third Rayena and Chelsea Banham's Night Traveller are a couple likely to get involved in the battle for minor honours, while Belo Horizonte and Lite And Airy are unexposed types to keep an eye on.

The one who appeals most is last year's winner AVAILABLE ANGEL, who returned to form with a close second over C&D two weeks ago.

In nothing like the same form when seventh of 12 in minor event (11/1) at Doncaster (7f, soft) 20 days ago, though ground is a potential excuse.

13th	9 13th (9) (200/1 -100%) Okinawa	200 200/1(-100%)	(9) Okinawa 200/1, Looks pretty limited after 2 starts, last of 8 in novice event at this C&D (soft) 15 days ago. Well-beaten in two C&D novices; poorly drawn and would be a surprise winner.

LTO Selection:

MAGSOOD posted another solid effort in defeat when third at Newmarket last month and must hold every chance in what looks a slightly weaker contest. User Amistoso appears to be the selection's main danger after staying on into second place at Doncaster in late-July, with Michael Bell's colt likely to appreciate an extended 7f here. Newcomer Otto Flash boasts a smart pedigree and must also enter the reckoning if strong in the betting.

The form of USER AMISTOSO's runner-up effort at Doncaster 3 weeks ago has yet to be tested but it was certainly a promising effort and with improvement expected, he can cash in on what should be a good draw. Magsood is a clear threat, with well-related newcomer Filey Beach of obvious interest.

In a tricky race L'ENNEMI, from a stable in fine form, is taken to build on his debut run by beating Magsood and User Amistoso.

1	1 1st (1) (2.12/1 +15%) Arabian Crown	2.12 2.12/1(+15%)	(1) Arabian Crown 2.12/1, €600,000 yearling, Dubawi colt. Brother to useful winner up to 1m Everest Rose and half-brother to several winners, including smart winner up to 1½m The Juliet Rose. Failed to justify short-price favouritism on debut at Sandown but made no mistake over same C&D 3 weeks later. More to come over 1m. Sandown scorer whose trainer has won the last two runnings of this race; strong claims.
2	2 2nd (2) (1.62/1 +28%) Arabic Legend	1.62 1.62/1(+28%)	(2) Arabic Legend 1.62/1, Dubawi colt. Brother to 2-y-o 7f winner Youngest. Dam, 7f-1¼m (Canadian Grade 1) winner, sister to smart winner up to 1m Lumiere. Overcame greenness to make a winning debut in 10-runner maiden at Newmarket a month ago. Had a bit in hand on that occasion and he's the one to beat up in trip. Well-bred colt who tidily won a maiden at the Newmarket July festival; potentially smart.
3	6 3rd (6) (6.5/1 -18%) Son	6.5 6.5/1(-18%)	(6) Son 6.5/1, Built on encouraging debut effort when taking 10-runner maiden at Newbury in June (6.5f) with a bit in hand. Fared about as well as could be expected in Group 2 company the last twice and this slightly easier tackling 1m for the first time. Good fifth in the Superlative Stakes and Vintage Stakes; leading player on the figures.
4	4 4th (4) (33/1 -200%) Metallo	33 33/1(-200%)	(4) Metallo 33/1, Caused a surprise when making virtually all in 9-runner maiden over 7f here in June. Laboured effort on softer ground in the Group 2 Superlative Stakes and this a more realistic level. The only course winner in the field but is bottom of this pack on bare form.
5th	5 5th (5) (14/1 -17%) Quatre Bras	14 14/1(-17%)	(5) Quatre Bras 14/1, 350,000 gns Sea The Stars colt showed ability when third on debut at Yarmouth (7f) in June. Out of his depth in the Superlative Stakes at Newmarket but down markedly in class and found plenty for pressure when landing 7f novice on the AW last week. More to come over 1m. Thrice-raced colt; off the mark at Kempton last week and may build on that win.
6th	7 6th (7) (5/1 +23%) Spanish Poet	5 5/1(+23%)	(7) Spanish Poet 5/1, Lope De Vega colt. Half-brother to several winners, including winner up to 1¼m Bourree and 1½m-1¾m winner Beamish, both smart. Dam unraced. Knew his job but created a very favourable impression when landing heavy-ground Sandown novice over 7f a fortnight ago. Sure to progress. Stuck on nicely for 1l success at Sandown two weeks ago; interesting prospect.
7th	3 7th (3) (28/1 +15%) Lightning Leo	28 28/1(+15%)	(3) Lightning Leo 28/1, Plenty of stamina in his pedigree and made a winning start in likeable fashion in 7f Yarmouth novice in June, knowing his job. Limitations exposed to some extent in better company since (albeit he was far from disgraced at listed level latest). Hopes rest on step up to 1m. Game at Yarmouth on debut; subsequent Listed defeats exposed his limitations a bit.

LTO Selection:

ARABIAN CROWN built on his eye-catching third at Sandown in early July with a ready success at the same venue later in the month. Charlie Appleby's colt could prove tough to beat if reproducing that level of performance and gets the vote. There was plenty to like about Arabic Legend's debut triumph at Newmarket last month and the Dubawi colt can't be taken lightly, while Son ran well enough in the Vintage Stakes at Goodwood recently to suggest he can get involved here too.

Despite obvious signs of greenness, ARABIC LEGEND was talented enough to make a winning start with a bit in hand starting out at Newmarket a month ago. Sure to build on that over 1m, he can take the step up in class in his stride, probably at the chief expense of fellow-Dubawi colt Arabian Crown. Son is slightly more exposed but has tackled Group 2 company the last twice and he demands respect.

Newmarket July festival scorer ARABIC LEGEND is given the narrow vote, ahead of Sandown winners Arabian Crown and Spanish Poet.

Half-brother to several winners, including 2-y-o 6f/7f winner Cristal Fizz and 7f winner Persuasion, both useful. Dam 10.3f winner. Appeals on paper so is worth a market check.

3	10 3rd (10) (0.73/1 +27%) Skukuza	0.73 0.73/1(+27%)	(10) Skukuza 0.73/1, Promising second of 10 in minor event at Newbury (7f, good, 66/1) on debut 26 days ago. This Blue Point colt is very much the one to beat. Ran a big race at a big price at Newbury and he sets a good standard on that clear second.

7th	1 7th (1) (18/1 +55%) Anonymous Guest	18 18/1(+55%)	(1) Anonymous Guest 18/1, Twice-raced gelding. 150/1, fourth of 12 in minor event at this C&D (good) 15 days ago, slowly away. More is needed. Eyecatching fourth over C&D two weeks ago but he needs another major step forward here.

10th	8 10th (8) (25/1 -56%) Lord Danielson	25 25/1(-56%)	(8) Lord Danielson 25/1, Foaled February 8. Iffraaj colt. Dam 7f-1m winner. Wears hood. Others appeal more. Has already been gelded and this looks a tough starting point; hood applied.

LTO Selection:

There were plenty of positives to be gleaned from SKUKUZA's debut second at Newbury and this looks a suitable opportunity for the Blue Point colt to record a first career success. Khisah Bu Thaila offered something to work with on his opening bid at Newmarket and could build on that sixth-placed effort to get involved here. Arabic Art makes most appeal of the newcomers and any market support would be interesting.

SKUKUZA made a highly encouraging start when runner-up at Newbury and Ed Dunlop's Blue Point colt is strongly fancied to go one better now. Tom Clover's newcomer Invictus Spiritus appeals as the one to chase home the selection ahead of Newmarket sixth Khisah Bu Thaila.

This can go to SKUKUZA, who was a front-running second in a Newbury novice on his debut and sets a useful standard on that form.

11th	3 11th (3) (22/1 -100%) Addie Boo Boo	22 22/1(-100%)	(3) Addie Boo Boo 22/1, Maiden who shaped with some encouragement when fourth on return/yard debut at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) in June. Reportedly returned lame when seventh of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (1m) and she's not one to give up on. Blinkers on 1st time. Has had a few chances but claims on form of Lingfield (turf) reappearance run.

LTO Selection:

HOW BIZARRE is a regular at this course and can again be relied upon to give his all as he attempts to follow up last month's C&D success off just a 2lb higher mark. Similar comments apply to Dr Rio, who shoulders 4lb more than his last-time-out success and may have more to offer now that he has proven himself over this trip. Of the others, it might be worth keeping an eye on Clotherholme.

DR RIO had been shaping up well prior to capitalising on his much-reduced mark over C&D 23 days ago and, with a 4 lb rise fair on that evidence, he gets the nod to follow up. Addie Boo Boo in first-time blinkers is also of interest on her penultimate Lingfield effort, with Clotherholme and Rum Runner completing the shortlist.

A chance in an open event is taken on WILLING TO PLEASE, who is on a fair mark, is well drawn and now gets cheekpieces.

1	1 1st (1) (11/1 +45%) Haughty	11 11/1(+45%)	(1) Haughty 11/1, Still looking for first success and has been below best in both starts this season. Now tried in cheekpieces for first time. Combination of drop in grade and first-time headgear may have positive effect.
2	7 2nd (7) (2.5/1 +29%) Racing Demon	2.5 2.5/1(+29%)	(7) Racing Demon 2.5/1, Found improvement when scoring at Chepstow (8.1f) in June before digging deep to land a handicap over this C&D. Not disgraced in stronger contest at Newbury since and must enter calculations. Unable to complete a hat-trick but remains in form; won here in June; solid chance.
3	4 3rd (4) (3.5/1 +13%) Paco's Pride	3.5 3.5/1(+13%)	(4) Paco's Pride 3.5/1, Run creditably in recent starts, latest when third of 5 in handicap at Brighton (8f, good, 15/8) 6 days ago. Races off same mark and ought to go well again. In-form maiden; went very close at Bath two starts ago; remains of interest.
4	3 4th (3) (16/1 -78%) Goodwood Vision	16 16/1(-78%)	(3) Goodwood Vision 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden who showed ability last term but hasn't threatened in a couple of handicaps in this campaign. Bit to prove at present. May improve for this drop in class with William Buick booked.
5th	6 5th (6) (18/1 -13%) Jimmy Lifestyle	18 18/1(-13%)	(6) Jimmy Lifestyle 18/1, Six-race maiden who made an encouraging start in handicaps when fourth of 9 at this course (6f) in June. Not gone on from that since, though, and others hold more appeal. Cheekpieces on first time. New trip and first-time headgear are possible sources of improvement.
6th	5 6th (5) (25/1 -25%) Stella Hogan	25 25/1(-25%)	(5) Stella Hogan 25/1, Far from disgraced in a couple of maiden outings this summer, latest when fifth of 6 at Ffos Las (8f, good, 15/2) 43 days ago. May have more to give now sent handicapping. Handicap debutante; possible improver with Tom Marquand booked.
7th	2 7th (2) (2.25/1 +0%) Landlordtothestars	2.25 2.25/1(+0%)	(2) Landlordtothestars 2.25/1, Winner at Southwell in February and back on the up when close second of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good) 19 days ago. 2 lb rise fair and is one for the shortlist. Solid record in his 7f races this year; likely player provided he's as good back at 1m.
8th	8 8th (8) (8/1 +11%) Penny Be	8 8/1(+11%)	(8) Penny Be 8/1, Recorded her best efforts at this course, latest when third of 9 in 7f handicap in June. Below that level over shorter trip at Windsor since but could be a player here. Still a maiden but this return to Salisbury is a positive (best form here).

LTO Selection:

LANDLORDTOTHESTARS appeared freshened up by a break when recording a second-placed effort at Newmarket last month and a 2lb rise may not be enough to prevent James Evans' gelding from going one place better. Paco's Pride has been running with credit at a similar level of late and should make her presence felt once more, while Racing Demon merits respect now returned to the C&D of his last success.

Preference is for LANDLORDTOTHESTARS, who was returning from 4 months off when just held in a stronger event at Newmarket last time and remains fairly treated. Paco's Pride and Racing Demon rate the principal dangers.

An open-looking race. The percentage call goes to RACING DEMON who scored in a higher grade here two starts ago.

1	4 1st (4) (3.33/1 +58%) Queen's Company	3.33 3.33/1(+58%)	(4) Queen's Company 3.33/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in June. 7/1, last of 6 in handicap at Brighton (9.9f, good) 36 days ago, doing too much too soon. Can give a good account. Has record of 2-5 here and she's on a workable mark back at this track; interesting.
2	2 2nd (2) (20/1 -67%) George Morland	20 20/1(-67%)	(2) George Morland 20/1, 33/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 49 days ago. Up in trip. Tongue strap on 1st time. Chance if rediscovering old form. 5yo who is 0-13 on turf and has questions to answer at this new trip; tongue-tie added.
3	10 3rd (10) (16/1 -78%) Timewave	16 16/1(-78%)	(10) Timewave 16/1, Latest win at Southwell in April. 11/1, below-par fifth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (11.6f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Both wins have come on AW and he has a patchy record; others preferred.
4	5 4th (5) (1.1/1 +27%) Stage Show	1.1 1.1/1(+27%)	(5) Stage Show 1.1/1, 4/1, good third of 7 in handicap at Sandown (10f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Has to be taken seriously at these weights. Third behind a major improver at Sandown and he's respected on this drop back in grade.
5th	11 5th (11) (150/1 -275%) Blondelle	150 150/1(-275%)	(11) Blondelle 150/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 11 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, good to firm, 100/1) 88 days ago. Back up in trip. Needs a couple of these to falter. Still lightly raced but she needs a transformation after a short break.
6th	8 6th (8) (9/1 -50%) Perfect Gentleman	9 9/1(-50%)	(8) Perfect Gentleman 9/1, Latest win at Kempton in April. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 9/2) 12 days ago. In the mix with the headgear retained. Has reached the frame in his last three runs and has possibilities back up in trip.
7th	9 7th (9) (12/1 +0%) Another Dimension	12 12/1(+0%)	(9) Another Dimension 12/1, 22/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (10f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Others appeal more. Seven-race maiden who has struggled in his four handicaps and has a lot to prove.
8th	6 8th (6) (5/1 +17%) Flower Of Thunder	5 5/1(+17%)	(6) Flower Of Thunder 5/1, 3-time C&D winner. 7/2, creditable second of 10 in handicap at this C&D (good) 15 days ago, no match for winner. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Solid claims. Triple C&D winner who chased home a handicap blot here last time; shortlisted.
9th	3 9th (3) (66/1 -65%) Point Of Fact	66 66/1(-65%)	(3) Point Of Fact 66/1, Eleventh of 12 in handicap (100/1) at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Back up in trip and needs to step forward. 0-10 since his debut win in France and has been out of sorts in last four runs.
10th	7 10th (7) (50/1 -257%) Mickey Mongoose	50 50/1(-257%)	(7) Mickey Mongoose 50/1, 17/2, last of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, good to soft) 39 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Charlie Johnston. Tongue strap on 1st time. Others more persuasive. Tailed off in his final run for Charlie Johnston and has something to prove for new yard.
11th	1 11th (1) (80/1 -142%) Mhajim	80 80/1(-142%)	(1) Mhajim 80/1, 150/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap at this course (14.1f, good) 15 days ago. Down in trip with work to do. Tailed off in all three handicaps (1m4f/1m6f) and has a lot to prove.

LTO Selection:

Stage Show hasn't been disgraced when finishing in third on his last two outings but even though this represents a drop in class, first-time cheekpieces could make all the difference for FLOWER OF THUNDER and she gets the vote. Runner-up over C&D on her most recent run, a 1lb lower mark, combined with the headgear, could help Christine Dunnett's mare build on that. Perfect Gentleman heads the remainder now reverting to turf.

STAGE SHOW rates the pick at these weights on the back of his good recent Sandown third so gets the nod in an open-looking contest. Flower of Thunder has an excellent record here so is feared most, although both Perfect Gentleman and George Morland can't be discounted either.

Several have possibilities but triple C&D winner FLOWER OF THUNDER (nap) gets the vote ahead of Stage Show and Queen's Company.

1	2 1st (2) (5.5/1 +31%) Mudamer	5.5 5.5/1(+31%)	(2) Mudamer 5.5/1, Bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap (10/1) at Doncaster (7f, soft) 25 days ago. Return to forecast quicker ground here rates a likely plus. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Running well in defeat prior to lesser effort on soft going; holds each-way claims.
2	4 2nd (4) (8/1 -78%) Metahorse	8 8/1(-78%)	(4) Metahorse 8/1, Dual winner for Michael Bell who has made a bright start for new yard, staying on for second in 8-runner handicap at Epsom (7f) 4 weeks ago. Operating on a handy mark and he's one to consider. In good form in these cheekpieces for his new yard and he's in calculations.
3	10 3rd (10) (8.5/1 +39%) Ring Of Gold	8.5 8.5/1(+39%)	(10) Ring Of Gold 8.5/1, All 3 career victories gained on AW but he ran well returning from 3 months off when 3 lengths third of 8 to On The River in a C&D handicap 23 days ago. Eased 1 lb and he may well be sharper with that under his belt. 0-10 on turf but third over C&D last month after a break and he's an each-way possible.
4	3 4th (3) (4/1 +20%) On The River	4 4/1(+20%)	(3) On The River 4/1, C&D winner. 4 wins from 7 runs this year. Latest win here in July. Fifth of 7 in handicap at Chester (7.6f, heavy, 15/8) 10 days ago, helping to force pace and weakening approaching final 1f. Not out of things. Disappointing ten days ago but has won four times this season and could bounce back.
5th	7 5th (7) (33/1 -288%) Reputation	33 33/1(-288%)	(7) Reputation 33/1, Veteran who came in for a good ride when ending a lengthy losing run at Thirsk (7f, soft) when last seen 11 months ago. Has gone well fresh previously so interesting what the market makes of him here. Won when last seen but big ask for this 10yo to win today on his first outing in 347 days.
6th	5 6th (5) (4.5/1 +44%) Beltane	4.5 4.5/1(+44%)	(5) Beltane 4.5/1, Returned an improved model on turf this term, gaining second success from last 5 starts (first for this yard) here (8.5f) in June. Not in same form when sixth of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (1m) since but no surprise to see him back on song here from handy draw. Won here in June and denied a clear run when 6th at Pontefract last time; one to consider.
7th	6 7th (6) (33/1 -32%) Ron O	33 33/1(-32%)	(6) Ron O 33/1, Done well on AW upon joining present yard, adding to his tally at Newcastle (7f) in April. Proved too free on each of his last 2 starts in the spring and others make greater appeal on balance returned to turf. Enjoyed productive spell on AW but below par on last two starts in the spring.
8th	8 8th (8) (28/1 -56%) Satin Snake	28 28/1(-56%)	(8) Satin Snake 28/1, Below form sixth of 10 in handicap (12/1) at Haydock (6f, good to firm) 41 days ago. Step back up in trip rates a likely plus but he remains 3 lb above last winning mark. Ran well over C&D three starts ago but now 0-9 on turf as opposed to 4-23 on AW.
9th	11 9th (11) (25/1 -127%) Sunny Orange	25 25/1(-127%)	(11) Sunny Orange 25/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Respectable fifth of 16 in handicap (6/1) at York (7f, good) 18 days ago, likely to have been in the mix for a place with a clear run. Little more needed. Did well to finish fifth of 16 at York last time having been denied a clear run.
10th	9 10th (9) (5.5/1 +15%) Craven	5.5 5.5/1(+15%)	(9) Craven 5.5/1, Back on track with headgear refitted, opening his account in a visor at Leicester (7f) prior to finishing good second in a stronger affair at York (7f) 18 days ago. Up 3 lb on the back of that but he remains fairly low mileage and possibilities again. A win and a good 2nd of 16 the last twice; this 3yo could have more to offer; key player.
11th	1 11th (1) (5.5/1 -10%) Autumn Festival	5.5 5.5/1(-10%)	(1) Autumn Festival 5.5/1, C&D winner. Seven wins from 24 Flat runs. 6/1, ran one of this season's better races when third of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, heavy) 11 days ago. Now operating 2 lb below last winning mark but consistency not been his strong point so far this term. Possible he won't face much competitive for the lead today and he's capable of a bold bid.

LTO Selection:

ON THE RIVER is already a dual winner at this course and, having been highly consistent since joining Harriet Bethell, he can defy a career-high mark. The gelding was notably well-supported in the betting for a deeper-looking race at Chester 10 days ago, but, while he ran too freely on that occasion, the return to more familiar surrounds could be more rewarding for any faithful supporters. Recent Leicester winner Craven is still attractively weighted and commands respect, while Metahorse and Reputation also enter calculations.

BELTANE wasn't at his very best at Pontefract on his latest start 26 days ago but his overall profile so far this term is a solid one and it would come as no surprise to see him bounce back returned to this venue from a handy draw. Metahorse, On The River and Craven are a trio of others to consider.

Two-time C&D winner AUTUMN FESTIVAL may enjoy the run of the race in front and he earns the vote ahead of the 3yo Craven.

1	5 1st (5) (6/1 -9%) State Occasion	6 6/1(-9%)	(5) State Occasion 6/1, Smart mare who was a respectable 5 lengths fourth in a 1¼m York Group 2 on her reappearance in May. Not seen since but she returns to action with her yard in flying form. Won handicaps at two major festivals last summer; good chance on peak figure.
2	7 2nd (7) (1.5/1 +40%) Running Lion	1.5 1.5/1(+40%)	(7) Running Lion 1.5/1, Roaring Lion filly who was impressive when easily completing a 4-timer in the 1¼m Pretty Polly at Newmarket (soft) in May. Had possible excuses for her no show in the French Oaks 6 weeks later and no surprise were she to resume her progression after a break. Something seemed amiss in the French Oaks; highly progressive otherwise; respected.
3	2 3rd (2) (40/1 -60%) Makinmedoit	40 40/1(-60%)	(2) Makinmedoit 40/1, Won 3 times over this trip last year and ran well behind a promising filly at Lingfield in January. Just as good on turf though habit of missing the break caught up with her at Ayr on return from a break in May. Tongue tie removed. Form dipped sharply when last seen but normally consistent; 1-1 here.
4	4 4th (4) (25/1 +0%) Rousay	25 25/1(+0%)	(4) Rousay 25/1, Won this race last summer. Well below par on first 2 outings this summer but latest Goodwood handicap fourth was more like it. Needs to build on that now. Difficult to dismiss, having won this race 12 months ago.
5th	13 5th (13) (80/1 -220%) Sparkling Beauty	80 80/1(-220%)	(13) Sparkling Beauty 80/1, Oasis Dream filly who was runner-up in a 7f Deauville Group 2 last year. Disappointed in a Longchamp Group 3 on her reappearance in April and hasn't been seen since. First run for new yard after leaving Richard Hughes. Has gone backwards the last twice; debut for new yard.
6th	8 6th (8) (4.5/1 -50%) Caernarfon	4.5 4.5/1(-50%)	(8) Caernarfon 4.5/1, Reached the frame in the 1000 Guineas and the Oaks on her first 2 outings this year. Ran right up to her best when beaten only 2¾ lengths into fifth in the Nassau at Goodwood 13 days ago and leading form claims with her sights lowered slightly. Tough sort who brings Classic form; ran creditably in the Nassau last time; top on ratings.
7th	1 7th (1) (7/1 -56%) Ameynah	7 7/1(-56%)	(1) Ameynah 7/1, Very lightly-raced 4-y-o who made an encouraging return from a 15-month absence when length fourth in 1m Ascot Group 3 18 days ago. Entitled to come on for that and merits respect. First attempt beyond 1m. Lightly raced filly who is interesting on second run back from absence.
8th	11 8th (11) (28/1 +30%) Karsavina	28 28/1(+30%)	(11) Karsavina 28/1, Landed 7f novice at Newmarket on debut last autumn and some quite useful efforts in defeat this term, including latest 1¾ lengths fifth of 11 to Mystic Pearl in listed race (14/1) at Sandown (1m, good). Up in trip. May improve for the new trip (sire and dam were middle-distance performers).
9th	12 9th (12) (50/1 -52%) Liftoff	50 50/1(-52%)	(12) Liftoff 50/1, Dual novice winner last summer. Respectable 3¼ lengths sixth of 7 to Crack of Light in listed race at Longchamp (1½m, good) on reappearance in June. Off a further 2 months since. Running Lion looks the more obvious of the yard's pair. Needs to produce a much bigger effort back on home soil.
10th	3 10th (3) (8/1 +50%) Queen Of The Skies	8 8/1(+50%)	(3) Queen Of The Skies 8/1, Useful sort who ran right up to her best when 3½ lengths fourth of 10 to Midnight Mile in listed race at York (1¼m, good) 19 days ago. More will be needed to win at this level, though. Consistent efforts for new stable; could go well again.
11th	9 11th (9) (33/1 +18%) Embrace	33 33/1(+18%)	(9) Embrace 33/1, Left debut form behind when comfortably off the mark at Wolverhampton (7f) in November. Progressed again when fourth in Fred Darling at Newbury (7f, heavy) on reappearance but well held in the 1000 Guineas and Sandringham at Royal Ascot since. Has a lot to find on the figures and stamina to prove.
12th	10 12th (10) (33/1 +18%) Heavenly Breath	33 33/1(+18%)	(10) Heavenly Breath 33/1, Runner-up at Group 3/listed level over 1m in France. Ran as well as could be expected when fifth in the Hoppings at Newcastle (1¼m) in June but dropped away tamely in the Aphrodite at Newmarket since. Blinkers off, cheekpieces back on. Rather exposed now and record stands at 1-8.
13th	6 13th (6) (40/1 -100%) Zenga	40 40/1(-100%)	(6) Zenga 40/1, Useful sort who disappointed when behind reopposing stablemate Ameynah at Ascot last time but had shaped quite well when fourth in a Pontefract listed race prior to that. Faces a stiff task on ratings, back up in distance.

LTO Selection:

RUNNING LION has scored in four of her last five outings, including when bolting up in Listed company at Newmarket on her penultimate run in May. She contested much deeper waters in France last time out and although that looked a step too far, she is fancied to bounce back to winning form at this level. Ameynah remains unexposed and was not disgraced when finishing fourth in the Valiant Stakes at Ascot last month, so she gets the danger vote ahead of State Occasion. Caernarfon has held her own at the highest level and is another to consider.

CAERNARFON has performed with credit in a trio of fillies' Group 1s this year and might be able to resume winning ways in these slightly calmer waters. Pretty Polly winner Running Lion is better than she showed in the French Oaks and can bounce back and provide the chief threat ahead of Ameynah and State Occasion.

Back down in class, CAERNARFON could well gain reward for some creditable efforts at Group 1 level. Ameynah is second choice.

Dam, 11f winner (would probably have stayed 1¾m), half-sister to useful sprinter Open Wide. 70,000Euros breeze-up buy; yard's 2yos can go well on debut so worth a market check.
6th	3 6th (3) (4/1 -33%) State's Evidence	4 4/1(-33%)	(3) State's Evidence 4/1, Promising sort. 7/4, fourth of 11 in maiden at Bellewstown (7.8f, good to soft) 40 days ago. Open to progress given his pedigree. Decent efforts both starts, form of which has been franked since; big player.

11th	1 11th (1) (66/1 -100%) Cuban Confusion	66 66/1(-100%)	(1) Cuban Confusion 66/1, Fourth of 7 in maiden (16/1) at Galway (7f, soft) 10 days ago. Just okay runs in both maidens, likely to be of more interest in nurseries in due course.
12th	6 12th (6) (25/1 -14%) Dramatic Entrance	25 25/1(-14%)	(6) Dramatic Entrance 25/1, Twice-raced filly. Third of 5 in minor event at Killarney (8.2f, good, 16/1) 28 days ago. Return to 7f will suit, probably needs to improve to play a major role.
13th	10 13th (10) (150/1 -127%) Magic Defense	150 150/1(-127%)	(10) Magic Defense 150/1, Foaled March 13. National Defense gelding. Half-brother to smart 2-y-o 5f-6f winner Aspen Darlin and 6f-1m winner Konstantin. Dam unraced from family of Grand Lodge. Newcomer likely best watched.

LTO Selection:

ASIAN DAZE, who didn't get the run of the race when fourth at Leopardstown last time, can gain her first success here. The Johnny Murtagh-trained filly caught the eye staying on nicely when fifth at Limerick on debut before slightly disappointing on her second run at Bellewstown. However, it was that most recent effort at the Foxrock venue that marks the daughter of Frontiersman down as the one to beat now. School Of Law boasts a very similar profile, having also shaped with promise on each of his three starts to date. Michael O'Callaghan's colt, who ran his best race on debut at the Curragh over this trip in June, has performed with credit on two subsequent outings. State's Evidence looked like he would improve when third on his Down Royal debut and arguably did so when fourth in a Bellewstown maiden that has worked out well.

STATE'S EVIDENCE still looked green when fourth at Bellewstown last month but that race has worked out well and this well-bred colt is fancied to take a step forward here. School of Law sets the clear standard so has to be feared, along with Asian Daze.

SCHOOL OF LAW sets the standard but faces decent opposition in State's Evidence and especially Ma Ghille Mar

2	5 2nd (5) (8/1 +11%) Secret Handsheikh	8 8/1(+11%)	(5) Secret Handsheikh 8/1, Course winner. Latest win at Brighton in April. 28/1, only sixth of 9 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good) 12 days ago. Dropped to a handy mark so can't be totally dismissed. Won at Brighton in April but he's finished down the field in all five runs since.
3	4 3rd (4) (3.5/1 -40%) Alpine Girl	3.5 3.5/1(-40%)	(4) Alpine Girl 3.5/1, 2 wins from 4 runs this year, posting a career best when winning 9-runner handicap (13/2) at Salisbury (5f, good) 18 days ago. That form is working out really well so she merits serious consideration. 3yo who has won two of her last three starts and is open to more progress; key player.
4	3 4th (3) (3.5/1 +50%) Tallulah Myla	3.5 3.5/1(+50%)	(3) Tallulah Myla 3.5/1, Respectable third of 8 in handicap (15/2) at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Not ruled out. Good third under a positive ride at Lingfield latest and has possibilities back in trip.
5th	2 5th (2) (7/1 -27%) Thismydream	7 7/1(-27%)	(2) Thismydream 7/1, One win from 31 Flat runs. 16/1, very good second of 11 in handicap at this C&D (good) 35 days ago, just failing. Player despite going up 3 lb. Record of 1-31 but he very nearly doubled his tally over C&D last month; respected.
6th	6 6th (6) (10/1 -43%) Dalby Forest	10 10/1(-43%)	(6) Dalby Forest 10/1, Winner at Chelmsford City in February. 8/1, last of 7 in handicap at Sandown (5f, soft) 20 days ago. Others more persuasive. Still unexposed on turf but his record stands at 1-16 and others are more persuasive.

LTO Selection:

Denied by the narrowest of margins over C&D on his most recent run, THISMYDREAM is fancied to take another step forward here and he looks the one to beat. Paddy Bradley negates all of the gelding's 3lb rise for that performance with his claim and the four-year-old can get the better of recent Salisbury winner Alpine Girl, who races off 2lb higher. Tallulah Myla completes the shortlist in a first-time tongue-tie.

ALPINE GIRL arrives on the up so looks the way to go with the form of her Salisbury success proving really strong. Recent C&D second Thismydream appeals as the one to give James Fanshawe's filly most to do, with Straits of Moyle also weighted to go well if back on his A-game.

Top of the list is the progressive 3yo ALPINE GIRL, who may well be able to strike again to make it three wins from her last four runs.

1	11 1st (11) (5.5/1 +0%) Dandy's Angel	5.5 5.5/1(+0%)	(11) Dandy's Angel 5.5/1, Three-time C&D winner. 3 wins from 11 runs this year. Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap (3/1) at Pontefract (10f, good) 7 days ago. Can give a good account. Three wins this summer (two C&D); only fourth last week but respected nevertheless.
2	2 2nd (2) (3.5/1 +30%) Where's Jeff	3.5 3.5/1(+30%)	(2) Where's Jeff 3.5/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Hamilton in May. Easy to excuse Pontefract run and back on his game when second of 5 in handicap at this C&D (soft) 23 days ago. Has twice gone close over C&D this season and every chance he'll be bang there once more.
3	10 3rd (10) (9/1 +36%) Langton Wold	9 9/1(+36%)	(10) Langton Wold 9/1, Creditable third of 10 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm, 10/1) 48 days ago. Looks worth a shot at this trip. Today's step up in trip could unlock some improvement from this lightly raced 4yo.
4	3 4th (3) (11/1 +31%) Outsmart	11 11/1(+31%)	(3) Outsmart 11/1, C&D winner. Sixth of 8 in novice hurdle at Stratford (16.3f, good to soft, 11/4) 43 days ago. Cheekpieces back on returned to the level from career-low mark. C&D winner who has dropped down the weights but has struggled on the Flat this year.
5th	5 5th (5) (33/1 -32%) Danielsflyer	33 33/1(-32%)	(5) Danielsflyer 33/1, Latest win at Newcastle in March. 25/1, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 56 days ago, keeping on when short of room briefly. Wins have come at 1m and shorter, but hint of promise over 1m2f on AW last time.
6th	1 6th (1) (4.5/1 +40%) At Liberty	4.5 4.5/1(+40%)	(1) At Liberty 4.5/1, Latest win at Haydock in June. Last of 6 in handicap at Newbury (10f, good to soft, 5/1) 20 days ago. Needs to cast that effort aside but this is a drop in grade. Needs to leave latest run well behind but won at Haydock in June and is not ruled out.
7th	6 7th (6) (10/1 -11%) Masque Of Anarchy	10 10/1(-11%)	(6) Masque Of Anarchy 10/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Pontefract in May. Eighth of 10 in handicap at Pontefract (10f, good, 5/1) 44 days ago, fading out of things. Cheekpieces back on. Two-time C&D winner who scored in May but has struggled to get competitive since.
8th	7 8th (7) (7/1 +30%) Berry Edge	7 7/1(+30%)	(7) Berry Edge 7/1, C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good to soft, 11/4) 37 days ago. That was his first disappointing run of the campaign. Running well in defeat prior to last time, when perhaps unsuited by the soft ground.
9th	9 9th (9) (5.5/1 -65%) Havana Party	5.5 5.5/1(-65%)	(9) Havana Party 5.5/1, Latest win at Ayr in June. Good third of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (9.2f, good to firm, 11/8) 69 days ago, doing too much too soon and collared close home. Expected to be bang there from the same mark. Twice ran well in June in these blinkers and could have more to offer in the headgear.
10th	8 10th (8) (12/1 +0%) Willard Creek	12 12/1(+0%)	(8) Willard Creek 12/1, Eleventh of 12 in handicap (11/2) at Doncaster (8f, firm) 40 days ago. Back up in trip. Others more persuasive. Has dropped down the weights this season but for good reason.

LTO Selection:

Only narrowly denied over C&D last month, a 1lb raised mark may not be enough to stop WHERE'S JEFF building on that and he looks the one to beat. Although he is now rated 2lb above his last winning mark, which came over 1m3f at Hamilton, he is fancied to get the better of Dandy's Angel, who was denied a hat-trick on drier ground at Pontefract last Wednesday. Havana Party is another worthy of consideration.

Having got off the mark for the campaign at Ayr in June, HAVANA PARTY confirmed he's in excellent nick when third at Hamilton later that month. Back from a break and on the same mark, he looks the way to go, with Where's Jeff and Sagauteur a couple of potential threats.

The blinkers provoked a positive reaction from HAVANA PARTY (nap) in June and he gets the nod on his return from a break.

1	9 1st (9) (6/1 +40%) Nivelle's Magic	6 6/1(+40%)	(9) Nivelle's Magic 6/1, Arrives in good nick, third of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 29 days ago when left poorly placed. Can go well again in her bid for a breakthrough victory. Maiden; eyecatching third on latest AW start; not dismissed back on turf.
2	2 2nd (2) (8.5/1 +47%) Galactic Glow	8.5 8.5/1(+47%)	(2) Galactic Glow 8.5/1, A 3-time winner at Bath this year who raced too freely when only eleventh of 12 in handicap at Bath (11.6f, good) 7 days ago. Sort to bounce back. Good spell in June/July; two subsequent efforts suggest he has gone off the boil.
3	5 3rd (5) (3.5/1 +36%) Albus Anne	3.5 3.5/1(+36%)	(5) Albus Anne 3.5/1, Still a maiden but she kept her quirks in check to produce another good effort when fifth of 11 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, good to firm) 91 days ago. Expected to be bang there eased 1 lb. Has shown signs that she's up to winning a modest race but may need soft ground.
4	11 4th (11) (14/1 +30%) Sunset In Paris	14 14/1(+30%)	(11) Sunset In Paris 14/1, Fit from hurdling when a good fourth of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good) 35 days ago. Needs to build on it if he's to gain a first success. Poor maiden who didn't achieve a great deal last time.
5th	3 5th (3) (3/1 +50%) Trojan Truth	3 3/1(+50%)	(3) Trojan Truth 3/1, Scored at Windsor in May and not disgraced when fifth of 8 in handicap at Chepstow (10f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Booking of Oisin Murphy is a plus so he's firmly in the picture. Held in cheekpieces the last twice; won at Windsor the last time he raced with no headgear.
6th	1 6th (1) (6/1 -50%) Always Fearless	6 6/1(-50%)	(1) Always Fearless 6/1, Belatedly opened his account on turf in 12-runner handicap (18/1) here (8f, good) 6 days ago. Carries 5 lb penalty but must still enter calculations. Scored over 1m here last Thursday; leading player if proving as good back at 1m2f.
7th	8 7th (8) (20/1 +20%) Postergal	20 20/1(+20%)	(8) Postergal 20/1, Modest maiden. Only seventh of 8 in handicap (25/1) at Lingfield (10f, heavy) 11 days ago. Needs to settle better if she's to lose her maiden tag. Finished behind Cheers Babe at Lingfield but this return to faster ground may help.
8th	10 8th (10) (20/1 +9%) Chelsea Annie	20 20/1(+9%)	(10) Chelsea Annie 20/1, It's now nineteen runs since her last win in 2021. 66/1, only seventh of 9 in handicap at Bath (11.6f, good to firm) 42 days ago so others appeal more. Holds weak claims on her Bath efforts the last twice.
9th	4 9th (4) (6.5/1 -8%) Cheers Babe	6.5 6.5/1(-8%)	(4) Cheers Babe 6.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Showed improved form making her handicap debut when second of 8 in handicap (20/1) at Lingfield (10f, heavy) 11 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up again. Close second at Lingfield 11 days ago when making handicap debut; warrants respect.
10th	7 10th (7) (33/1 -65%) Clement Danes	33 33/1(-65%)	(7) Clement Danes 33/1, Modest maiden for George Boughey. Pulled up on yard debut after 12 months off in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy) 26 days ago. Has plenty to prove. Pulled up (lost action) on debut for new stable; best watched.

LTO Selection:

Always Fearless recorded a staying-on success over a mile at this track last Thursday and is expected to be thereabouts if anywhere near that form. However, he does have to shoulder a 5lb penalty for that win, so it could pay to side with the improving CHEERS BABE. Only narrowly denied at Lingfield earlier this month, Ian Williams' inmate likely has more to offer in the hands of William Buick. Trojan Truth is another to bear in mind.

ALBUS ANNE remains winless but rates just the pick of these weights so edges the vote in a trappy handicap. Always Fearless appeals as the main threat on the back of his breakthrough turf win here, although a solid case can also be made for Trojan Truth and Nivelle's Magic.

Preference is for the unexposed CHEERS BABE, who should build on her Lingfield effort. Always Fearless is feared most.

7	7 (7) (22/1 +0%) Polar Bear	22 22/1(+0%)	(7) Polar Bear 22/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Bellewstown in April. Last of 15 in handicap (16/1) at the Curragh (7f, good) 81 days ago. Withdrawn at Curragh last weekend due to ground; unlikely to have his ground here either.
1	4 1st (4) (5/1 -11%) Spanish Tenor	5 5/1(-11%)	(4) Spanish Tenor 5/1, C&D winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable second of 16 in handicap (11/2) at Galway (8.4f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Considered. Over a year without a win but solid recent form puts him in the mix.
2	8 2nd (8) (6/1 -9%) Facethepuckout	6 6/1(-9%)	(8) Facethepuckout 6/1, C&D winner. Good third of 8 in handicap at Naas (7f, soft, 7/1) 21 days ago. Not taken lightly. Consistent without winning this year; versatile ground-wise nowadays.
3	9 3rd (9) (28/1 -40%) Exquisite Acclaim	28 28/1(-40%)	(9) Exquisite Acclaim 28/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. 40/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Fairyhouse (7f, good) 35 days ago. Not at his best this year although declining mark could bring him into it.
4	5 4th (5) (8/1 -7%) Daamberdiplomat	8 8/1(-7%)	(5) Daamberdiplomat 8/1, 11/1, below form fourth of 11 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, good to firm) 49 days ago. Eyeshields on 1st time, blinkers on 1st time. Disappointing this year but gelded since and eye-shield tried off reduced mark.
5th	6 5th (6) (1.38/1 +31%) Something Nice	1.38 1.38/1(+31%)	(6) Something Nice 1.38/1, Winner at Cork in April. Good second of 18 in handicap (16/1) at the Curragh (8f, good) 4 days ago, running on. Stable in good form. Another bold show likely. Saturday's Curragh second to a gambled-on winner makes him the one to beat.
6th	2 6th (2) (14/1 +0%) Vernet	14 14/1(+0%)	(2) Vernet 14/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Fairyhouse in June. 8/13, second of 4 in minor event at Naas (7f, good) 39 days ago. Front-runner needs to improve on latest; respected all the same on handicap debut.
7th	3 7th (3) (3.5/1 +56%) Stag Night	3.5 3.5/1(+56%)	(3) Stag Night 3.5/1, Lightly-raced winner. Bit below form eighth of 15 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, good to soft, 8/1) on reappearance 82 days ago. Long absent until fair Curragh effort in May; unproven over this trip at this level.

LTO Selection:

Confirmed front-runner SPANISH TENOR could prove difficult to beat from a favourable low draw. The Ado McGuinness-trained nine-year-old arrives at the top of his game, having gone close at the Galway Festival on his most recent run. A previous C&D winner, the veteran will be hard to peg back. Something Nice makes a quick reappearance having chased home a very well-handicapped horse at the Curragh on Saturday. Michael Mulvany's three-year-old rarely runs a poor race so is almost certain to be involved in this competitive affair. Top-weight Lust has to concede upwards of 7lb to his rivals but is the class act in the field. The Ger Lyons-trained five-year-old should be sharper after a recent comeback at Fairyhouse.

LUST won a listed race last year so a mark of 97 shouldn't be beyond him and he can leave last month's reappearance behind and strike for the Ger Lyons team. Spanish Tenor ran a couple of fine races at Galway recently and is second choice ahead of Something Nice and the consistent Facethepuckout.

It is hard to look past SOMETHING NICE (nap) following a cracking Curragh run at the weekend, for which he is due a 5lb rise

2	9 2nd (9) (3.33/1 +26%) Wilde And Dandy	3.33 3.33/1(+26%)	(9) Wilde And Dandy 3.33/1, Winner at Doncaster in June. Ninth of 11 in handicap (9/2) at Chelmsford City (8f) 22 days ago, missing break and hampered. Visor back on and not discounted. Emphatic win at Doncaster in June but he's been laboured in both runs since; visor back on.
3	8 3rd (8) (5/1 +0%) Rhythmic Acclaim	5 5/1(+0%)	(8) Rhythmic Acclaim 5/1, 13/2, suffered a poor run when sixth of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago, never nearer. Can make presence felt. 0-8 but looks worth another try at this trip and is not ruled out back in a Class 6 event.
4	7 4th (7) (5.5/1 +15%) Inverinate	5.5 5.5/1(+15%)	(7) Inverinate 5.5/1, Winner at Chelmsford City in June. Creditable sixth of 11 in handicap (11/8) at Chelmsford City (8f) 22 days ago so he's in the mix. Had excuses at Chelmsford last time and he could kick on again back at this trip.
5th	3 5th (3) (12/1 +25%) King Of The Dance	12 12/1(+25%)	(3) King Of The Dance 12/1, 4/1, only sixth of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good) 19 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time with more needed. Inconsistent eight-race maiden but has claims if he can get back near best; blinkers added.
6th	2 6th (2) (18/1 -13%) Meng Tian	18 18/1(-13%)	(2) Meng Tian 18/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 9/2) 35 days ago. Can give a good account. Well below form in his last three starts and losing run is now up to 14.
7th	5 7th (5) (3.33/1 -21%) Eyeshadow	3.33 3.33/1(-21%)	(5) Eyeshadow 3.33/1, From a talented family but she failed to build on earlier promise when third of 6 on her handicap debut at Chepstow (8.1f, good to firm, 5/4) 27 days ago. Remains with potential so she has to be taken seriously eased 1 lb. Well-bred filly who is still unexposed and looks a possible improver back at this trip.
8th	4 8th (4) (12/1 -85%) Arbaawi	12 12/1(-85%)	(4) Arbaawi 12/1, Career best when winning 6-runner handicap (7/2) at Lingfield (7f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Up 2 lb but he's not taken lightly. Won on his step up to 7f at Lingfield and he's only 2lb higher here; big player.

LTO Selection:

This could go the way of the progressive EYESHADOW, who lost second inside the final furlong over a mile at Chepstow on her handicap bow. A drop in distance, as well as a 1lb lower mark, can bring about further improvement from the Charltons' three-year-old and she can break through. Recent Lingfield winner Arbaawi should not be taken lightly now 2lb higher for that success, while Ideal Guest is another to consider.

A case can be made for plenty of these but the most persuasive one is for EYESHADOW, who didn't hit the heights expected on her handicap debut when third at Chepstow but is well bred and remains one to be interested in off a handy-looking mark. Arbaawi is feared most on the back of his recent Lingfield success, with Rhythmic Acclaim, Meng Tian and Wilde And Dandy all in the mix too.

Several have possibilities but recent Lingfield winner ARBAAWI gets the vote ahead of Eyeshadow and Inverinate.

Absent since. Needs to prove she's effective on turf. Three wins have been over 5f/6f on the AW; not so good on turf (5lb lower); bit to prove.
7th	2 7th (2) (9/1 -6%) Three Beauz	9 9/1(-6%)	(2) Three Beauz 9/1, Below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, soft, 12/1). Off 108 days. First run for yard after leaving Julia Feilden. Worth a betting check. Ex-Julia Feilden; fair comeback when 3rd at Southwell; quite interesting on stable debut.
8th	11 8th (11) (10/1 -67%) Whiskey Priest	10 10/1(-67%)	(11) Whiskey Priest 10/1, Much improved when dead-heating on 5f Yarmouth handicap debut last month. Only fifth of 8 when sent off 11/10 at Ayr the following week but this lightly-raced sprinter can probably be given another chance. 5f winner 2 runs ago (dead heat); poor run when favourite last time; needs to bounce back.

11th	5 11th (5) (6.5/1 -117%) Mistamac	6.5 6.5/1(-117%)	(5) Mistamac 6.5/1, Creditable second of 8 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good, 3/1) 23 days ago. Capable of giving another good account. 0-7; closely matched with Herakles on AW form; creditable 2nd at Ayr last time; a possible.

LTO Selection:

A case can be made for several of these, but it could be worth taking a chance on WASDALE. She failed to get into contention when reverting to turf for her latest outing at Chester, but, given she is now rated 2lb below her last winning all-weather mark, could bounce back dropping in distance. Honour Your Dreams can give the selection plenty to think about now eased in class, while Mistamac is just one other with claims.

It might be worth giving WHISKEY PRIEST the benefit of the doubt for Ayr as his Yarmouth win prior to that was promising. John Quinn's Mistamac was back on song when in front of the selection at Ayr last time and is second choice ahead of Tim Easterby's Saleet.

In an open race, C&D winner BELLA KOPELLA is taken to get back to winning ways by beating Mistamac and Three Beauz.

Twenty runs since last win in 2021. 13/2, second of 17 in handicap at Fairyhouse (7f, good) 35 days ago, edged out dying strides. Another holding claims with a repeat from this much-reduced mark. Big chance now after neck second over this trip at Fairyhouse, high draw not ideal.
4	4 4th (4) (9/1 +25%) Rock Etoile	9 9/1(+25%)	(4) Rock Etoile 9/1, Course winner. Latest win at Killarney in May. 20/1, respectable fifth of 16 in handicap at Galway (7f, soft) 11 days ago. Visor back on. Winner over 1m at this venue in April and at Killarney in May, fifth over 7f at Galway.
5th	11 5th (11) (4.5/1 +0%) Trueba	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(11) Trueba 4.5/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. 8/1, very good second of 16 in handicap at this C&D (soft) 18 days ago, giving best only to a thriving sort. Shortlist material. Last of his five wins was in September 2021, definite chance after C&D second on latest.
6th	10 6th (10) (22/1 -38%) Gegenpressing	22 22/1(-38%)	(10) Gegenpressing 22/1, Fourteenth of 15 in handicap (10/1) at this C&D (soft) 18 days ago, not well served by coming stand side in the straight. Not one to write off now operating 4 lb below last winning mark. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Was showing a fair level of consistency before a poor C&D run last time, cheekpieces now.
7th	3 7th (3) (3.5/1 +46%) Pinball Wizard	3.5 3.5/1(+46%)	(3) Pinball Wizard 3.5/1, Capitalised on much-reduced mark to make a successful return over 1m here in May. Hard to knock his efforts in defeat since, respectable seventh in a stronger handicap at Naas (1m) 7 weeks ago. Not taken lightly. Unplaced at Naas in June, two excellent runs over 1m at this venue earlier in the season.
8th	8 8th (8) (6/1 +33%) Barnhill Rose	6 6/1(+33%)	(8) Barnhill Rose 6/1, Course winner. Latest win at Roscommon (7.3f) in July. 6/1, creditable fifth of 15 in handicap at Killarney (8.2f, good) 28 days ago. Has got away with an aggregate rise of 7lb for winning two of her last four races.
9th	2 9th (2) (7/1 +50%) Hale Bopp	7 7/1(+50%)	(2) Hale Bopp 7/1, 20/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, good) 55 days ago, never involved on back of 3 months off. Others arrive with much more pressing claims. Won an AW claimer on final start for Ger Lyons, yet to show much for this stable.
10th	1 10th (1) (20/1 -11%) Admiral Nelson	20 20/1(-11%)	(1) Admiral Nelson 20/1, Latest win at Cork in May. 25/1, twelfth of 15 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Others more persuasive. Availed of a reduced mark when winning a big-field handicap at Cork, poor last twice.
11th	13 11th (13) (40/1 -150%) Above It All	40 40/1(-150%)	(13) Above It All 40/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. 40/1, creditable fifth of 14 in handicap at Bellewstown (7.9f, good to soft) 41 days ago, hanging left and not run on. Drops back in trip now. Yet to reach the first four in ten Irish start, Bellewstown fifth was quite encouraging.
12th	16 12th (16) (16/1 +0%) Manhattan Dandy	16 16/1(+0%)	(16) Manhattan Dandy 16/1, One win from 44 Flat runs. Winner at Roscommon in July. 8/1, respectable fifth of 16 in handicap at this C&D (soft) 18 days ago. Each-way possibilities in present groove. Belatedly off the mark at Roscommon last month, held by Trueba on C&D running.
13th	6 13th (6) (7/1 +0%) Finsceal Go Deo	7 7/1(+0%)	(6) Finsceal Go Deo 7/1, 16/5, good third of 10 in maiden at Leopardstown (6.5f, good to soft) 27 days ago, losing second close home. Fancied to be thereabouts again. Well-bred filly, best run was over C&D on seasonal debut, not progressive but good chance.
14th	7 14th (7) (125/1 -279%) Wantoplantatree	125 125/1(-279%)	(7) Wantoplantatree 125/1, Thrice-raced maiden. First run since leaving Roger Varian when tenth of 14 in maiden (80/1) at Naas (8f, soft) 9 days ago, ridden over 2f out and fading. That was her first start for 8 months and entitled to be sharper now handicapping. Should be better for her recent Irish debut but her opening mark does not seem lenient.
15th	14 15th (14) (33/1 +0%) Attrazione	33 33/1(+0%)	(14) Attrazione 33/1, 50/1, first run since leaving George Boughey when bit below form sixth of 16 in handicap at Tipperary (9f, good) 42 days ago. Back down in trip here and entitled to be sharper with that run under her belt. Consistent at a modest level on AW for George Boughey, may improve from Tipperary run.

LTO Selection:

TRUEBA has every chance of giving jockey Wesley Joyce a first success since returning from a career-threatening injury. The seven-year-old tried to make all the running from a similar draw over C&D last time, only to be headed close home. A reproduction of that effort should see the gelding prove hard to beat. Whatharm almost landed a sizeable gamble when just denied at Fairyhouse. Pat Flynn's eight-year-old has dropped to a very lenient handicap mark, so this C&D winner has to be respected under Leigh Roche. Emorcee also enters calculations now that the Galway runner-up drops down in grade for trainer David Marnane. The Elzaam gelding is only 3lb higher now.

TRUEBA produced his best effort yet for his present stable when runner-up in a C&D handicap 18 days ago, giving best only to a thriving sort (well clear of remainder) and he could well be worth chancing to go one place better here. Pinball Wizard, Emorcee and Whatharm head up the dangers, with Finsceal Go Deo not out of things either.

The recently-returned Wesley Joyce has a good opportunity on TRUEBA who may cope with the 5lb extra imposed for a recent C&D second.

1	1 1st (1) (4.5/1 +18%) Eton College	4.5 4.5/1(+18%)	(1) Eton College 4.5/1, Latest win at Nottingham in July. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap (9/2) at Newmarket (10f, good) 19 days ago, nearest finish. Drop in trip won't be a problem and should make his presence felt. Won on soft at Nottingham last month and has claims if this sets up for his closing style.
2	3 2nd (3) (9/1 -227%) Obama Army	9 9/1(-227%)	(3) Obama Army 9/1, 11/4, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Chepstow (8.1f, good to soft) 19 days ago, just holding on. Nudged up just 2 lb and entitled to be involved in the finish. Got back on the scoresheet at Chepstow and he's only 2lb higher here; key player.
3	4 3rd (4) (7.5/1 -36%) Lunanera	7.5 7.5/1(-36%)	(4) Lunanera 7.5/1, 7/1, sixth of 13 in minor event at Strasbourg (9.9f, good) 65 days ago. Gelded ahead of this handicap debut for new yard and it'll be interesting to see what the market has to say. Ex-French; unexposed gelding and he needs watching in market on his handicap/stable debut.
4	2 4th (2) (3/1 +25%) I'm Too Tired	3 3/1(+25%)	(2) I'm Too Tired 3/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Newbury (10f, good to soft, 6/1) 20 days ago, finding little. Doesn't appear to be the strongest of finishers and looks vulnerable. 3yo who still has potential and could be dangerous on this drop back in trip.
5th	6 5th (6) (1.5/1 +40%) Thewaytothestars	1.5 1.5/1(+40%)	(6) Thewaytothestars 1.5/1, Course winner. Career best when winning 12-runner handicap (7/2) at Windsor (8.1f, good) 2 days ago. Big shout under a penalty if turned out again quickly. Has won here and at Windsor in the last eight days and is respected in her hat-trick bid.
6th	7 6th (7) (16/1 +11%) Hill Filly	16 16/1(+11%)	(7) Hill Filly 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 14/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Leicester (10f, good) 27 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time and she needs to raise her game. No progress and she needs to do much better with a tongue-tie added back at 1m.
7th	5 7th (5) (100/1 -150%) Grand Style	100 100/1(-150%)	(5) Grand Style 100/1, First run since leaving N. Perret when last of 9 in handicap (125/1) at Lingfield (7f, good to soft) on UK debut 16 days ago. Best to look elsewhere. Down the field in all five runs and she needs a transformation back up in trip.

LTO Selection:

ETON COLLEGE had the beating of subsequent Chepstow scorer Obama Army (second) when the pair met at Nottingham two starts ago. He failed to make an impact when upped to 10 furlongs at Newmarket last time, but Jamie Osborne's gelding could bounce back to confirm that form back at a mile. Lunanera showed signs of ability when trained in France and the market can guide on his first start for Archie Watson.

It could be worth taking a chance on French import LUNANERA, who makes his British/handicap debut on what is probably a fair opening mark. Thewaytothestars did the job well at Windsor on Monday and she will be a big threat if turned out again quickly in search of the hat-trick. Eton College and Obama Army both arrive in good form also and are others to consider.

The vote goes to OBAMA ARMY, who has a striking record in handicaps and is only 2lb higher than for his win at Chepstow last time.

Twenty four runs since last win in 2021. 8/1, creditable fourth of 15 in handicap at this C&D (soft) 18 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Overall record (1-27) is off-putting but some fair form to his credit this season.
5th	1 5th (1) (5/1 -67%) Bobby K	5 5/1(-67%)	(1) Bobby K 5/1, Won 13-runner handicap at Dundalk (8f, 7/1) 35 days ago. Heading back in the right direction recently. Gained a fifth AW success when scoring narrowly at Dundalk last month, only 1-14 on turf.

8th	4 8th (4) (2.25/1 +68%) Monzoon	2.25 2.25/1(+68%)	(4) Monzoon 2.25/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. Respectable sixth of 14 in handicap at Bellewstown (7.8f, good to soft, 14/1) 40 days ago. Has been dropped 7lb since the start of the season but may struggle to end long losing run.
9th	15 9th (15) (40/1 -21%) Meggy Moo	40 40/1(-21%)	(15) Meggy Moo 40/1, 18/1, last of 11 in handicap at Roscommon (7.2f, good) 76 days ago, not knocked about. Good run at Dundalk in May, unlucky in running at Sligo, faded tamely at Roscommon.
10th	11 10th (11) (4.5/1 +10%) One For Mum	4.5 4.5/1(+10%)	(11) One For Mum 4.5/1, 8/1, creditable third of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (7f) 35 days ago, never nearer. Enters calculations. Placed four times this season and has been quite consistent, drawn high but solid chance.
11th	14 11th (14) (80/1 -100%) Cant Catch Camacho	80 80/1(-100%)	(14) Cant Catch Camacho 80/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 50/1, eleventh of 12 in maiden at Cork (6f, good) 19 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Stiff task. Best of three maiden runs was over 1m at Limerick, his opening mark does not seem lenient.
12th	13 12th (13) (28/1 +15%) Miss Molly T	28 28/1(+15%)	(13) Miss Molly T 28/1, One win from 24 Flat runs. Fifteen runs since last win in 2020. Last of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (7f, 22/1).

LTO Selection:

BUCKY LARSON, whose previous C&D win came off a 20lb higher mark, should be very competitive if at peak fitness for his reappearance. Although yet to show any worthwhile form for current connections, it was only last November that he was winning at Dundalk off a rating of 81. One For Mum ran one of her better races when stepped back up to this trip on her most recent start. The Ger Lyons-trained filly has been drawn out wide but if Colin Keane can get her away smartly, the daughter of Dandy Man has to be a contender. Bobby K is only 4lb higher than when winning at Dundalk, although the eight-year-old may be slightly better on that surface. At the same time, he should appreciate a fast-run race at this trip so expect to see him finishing strongly under Billy Lee.

SUPER CUB went close over this C&D last month and should make another bold bid. Bobby K capitalised on a falling mark at Dundalk and remains well treated on old form, while One For Mum should be on the premises again.

A high draw is a worry for ONE FOR MUM but in Colin Keane, she arguably has the jockey most likely to overcome any potential negative

1	1 1st (1) (0.11/1 +56%) Per Contra	0.11 0.11/1(+56%)	(1) Per Contra 0.11/1, Well backed and looked a good prospect when winning 10-runner maiden at Chepstow (7.1f, good to soft) on debut 37 days ago, slowly away and hung badly left. Will take all the beating under a penalty. Impressive winner at Chepstow (7f, good to soft) on debut and looks an exciting prospect.
2	2 2nd (2) (7/1 -110%) Chiefman	7 7/1(-110%)	(2) Chiefman 7/1, Sent off 5/4 but too green to show full worth when fifth of 7 in novice event at Wolverhampton (7.2f) on debut 58 days ago. Open to lots of progress. Green on debut (AW; 5-4 favourite) and needs major improvement on this switch to to turf.
3	4 3rd (4) (40/1 +39%) Tomorrow Day	40 40/1(+39%)	(4) Tomorrow Day 40/1, 22/1, third of 5 in maiden at Haydock (6f, heavy) on debut 10 days ago. Up in trip. Outsider at Haydock on recent debut and he weakened into a 16l third of five.
4	3 4th (3) (20/1 +70%) Surfer Dude	20 20/1(+70%)	(3) Surfer Dude 20/1, 80/1, last of 9 in maiden at Sandown (8f, good to soft) on debut 6 days ago, slowly away. 80-1 at Sandown (1m) on debut last week and finished a remote last of nine.

LTO Selection:

Ollie Sangster was glowing in his post-race assessment of PER CONTRA, who trounced his rivals, including a subsequent winner, despite doing plenty wrong at Chepstow on debut. He carries a penalty today but he is clearly held in high regard, evidenced by his entry in the Champagne Stakes at Doncaster. The withdrawal Duely Spiced means the main threat is likely to be Chiefman, who ran green when well backed over 7f at Wolverhampton on debut and will surely have more to offer today. Tomorrow Day can beat Surfer Dude for the bronze medal.

PER CONTRA did quite a bit wrong on debut at Chepstow last month but his ability shone through as he scored readily and he's strongly fancied to defy a penalty. Chiefman failed to deliver on his opening run but will surely know more this time.

This can go to PER CONTRA, who powered clear at Chepstow on his debut last month and looks an exciting prospect.

Just a fair third back in maiden company since but she sets the standard. Promise in all three starts and sets the standard; 7f should suit; obvious claims.
4	7 4th (7) (50/1 -79%) High Handed	50 50/1(-79%)	(7) High Handed 50/1, Foaled May 14. Siyouni filly.

Dam, 1½m-14.5f winner, half-sister to smart 1¼m winner (stayed 1¾m) Albaflora. One to note on debut for excellent yard. Half-sister to 1m4f AW winner out of G2 winner at 14.5f; yard flying; interesting newcomer.
6th	3 6th (3) (40/1 -21%) Almudena	40 40/1(-21%)	(3) Almudena 40/1, Foaled April 11. Study of Man filly. Half-sister to 11.6f-1¾m winner Elhafei and useful 1½m-1¾m winner Achnamara. This trip likely to be on the sharp side. Fine middle-distance pedigree but stable's 2yos yet to get going this year.
7th	10 7th (10) (22/1 +0%) Sattwaa	22 22/1(+0%)	(10) Sattwaa 22/1, Foaled January 12. Saxon Warrior filly. Dam, 7f winner, out of smart winner up to 1¼m Modeyra, herself out of Musidora/Nassau Stakes winner Zahrat Dubai. One to take seriously on debut. Dam a 7f AW winner from a good family; useful standard to aim at on debut.

9th	5 9th (5) (40/1 -150%) Charmaine	40 40/1(-150%)	(5) Charmaine 40/1, Foaled April 1. Camelot filly. Dam winner up to 1¼m (2-y-o 1m winner). Fine pedigree but winning 2yo newcomers for the stable are rare.
10th	8 10th (8) (125/1 -150%) Modern Verse	125 125/1(-150%)	(8) Modern Verse 125/1, Last both starts, but did show a bit more than on debut in novice event at Newmarket (7f, soft) 11 days ago. Finished last in 2 starts but has offered a whiff of promise; one for nurseries after this.

LTO Selection:

Having been far from disgraced in the Albany, GUSHING GOLD then went desperately close when beaten a neck into third at Newbury. A step up from 6f ought to be no problem on that evidence and she is taken to strike at the fourth time of asking. Poutchek shaped with promise when making the frame on her Newmarket debut and is a likely candidate with improvement on the cards. Others to note include Sattwaa and Allonsy.

POUTCHEK clearly has more than her share of ability having managed to finish third despite fluffing the start and being green pretty much throughout on debut at Newmarket a month ago. Above-average improvement is surely forthcoming, so she's preferred to the standard-setting Gushing Gold. Ahlain is another to consider, along with several interesting debutantes.

Gushing Gold sets the standard but both Poutchek and AHLAIN offered enough on their debuts to make them of interest.

7th	10 7th (10) (300/1 -200%) Taxiing	300 300/1(-200%)	(10) Taxiing 300/1, Twice-raced filly. 150/1, last of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (10.7f) 35 days ago. Visored for 1st time. Engaged 2.40 Dundalk Tuesday. Three poor efforts and now tried visored.
8th	8 8th (8) (10/1 +0%) Semantics	10 10/1(+0%)	(8) Semantics 10/1, Fair filly. 13/2 and blinkered for 1st time, sixth of 7 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 59 days ago. Remains a maiden after 7 Flat runs. Blew the start over C&D latest so worth another chance (blinkers ditched).
9th	11 9th (11) (0.83/1 +75%) Time To Boogie	0.83 0.83/1(+75%)	(11) Time To Boogie 0.83/1, 13/2, very green when a promising fourth of 14 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, heavy) on her debut 9 months ago. Significantly up in trip now and seems sure to do a fair bit better. Well worth a market check. Belated seasonal return and won't have to be a world beater to win (holds Group 3 entry).

LTO Selection:

A pretty open contest, with FEATHERTOP the suggestion. A fine third on debut over the course and distance in June, she finished just a neck behind subsequent Dundalk victor Sandy Creek. Sure to come on plenty for that experience, the Jessica Harrington-trained selection can be expected to go close. Harrington saddles another interesting contender in the shape of Spirit Of Paradise. She made late headway on debut at Leopardstown and this step up in trip is likely to suit. Placed four times from six starts, the 78-rated Letiza is given second preference. A staying-on third at Killarney most recently, she was just three-parts of a length off subsequent dual victor Golden Spangle. Semantics is also rated 78 but was behind Letiza when they met at Navan in June. Not seen since finishing fourth on debut at the Curragh in October, Time To Boogie warrants respect, while others for the shortlist are Nostringsattached, Lady Meis and debutant Uncanny.

Lots with chances but it could pay to side with Aidan O'Brien's well-related filly TIME TO BOOGIE to make light of her absence having shaped well when a debut fourth at the Curragh last backend. Feathertop also has better days ahead of her and is next on the list, although Donnacha O'Brien's Churchill newcomer Uncanny is well worth considering too, especially if the market vibes are positive.

Despite a belated seasonal return TIME TO BOOGIE could well be up to the task here. She holds a Group 3 entry in ten days time

1	3 1st (3) (0.83/1 +49%) Ben Hamrash	0.83 0.83/1(+49%)	(3) Ben Hamrash 0.83/1, Winner at Chelmsford City in July. Very good ½-length second of 8 to Overnight Oats in handicap at Sandown (7f, good to soft, 13/8) 21 days ago, clear of rest. Getting better with each recent run and there shouldn't be much between them again. Close second behind Overnight Oats at Sandown and should make another bold bid.
2	1 2nd (1) (1.25/1 -25%) Overnight Oats	1.25 1.25/1(-25%)	(1) Overnight Oats 1.25/1, Two wins from 6 runs this year. Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Sandown (7f, good to soft, 7/2) 21 days ago by ½ length from Ben Hamrash, battling well. Progressive since the hood has gone on and he's the one to beat. Has won over 7f in his last two runs and he's open to more progress; big player.
3	2 3rd (2) (9/1 -64%) Ithra	9 9/1(-64%)	(2) Ithra 9/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 14 in novice event (7/1) at Haydock (8f, good to firm) 82 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time. Makes handicap debut for good yard but mark looks high on the face of it. Handicap newcomer who returns (82 days off) in cheekpieces and needs a check in the market.

LTO Selection:

Just half a length separated OVERNIGHT OATS (winner) and Ben Hamrash (second) when the pair met at Sandown three weeks ago. The former is 1lb worse off this time, but his pedigree would suggest forecast ground conditions will be no problem and that could make all the difference. Ithra, who sports first-time cheekpieces, should not be underestimated on her handicap bow.

OVERNIGHT OATS and Ben Hamrash dominated a Sandown handicap 3 weeks ago and will very likely do the same here, with a 1 lb pull not enough to side with the latter reversing the places.

This is an interesting rematch between OVERNIGHT OATS and Ben Hamrash and the the former gets the vote in his hat-trick bid.

Makes polytrack debut. Blinkers on 1st time. Big chance on 2yo best but 3yo return was underwhelming; new headgear today.
6th	11 6th (11) (125/1 -89%) Polar Rock	125 125/1(-89%)	(11) Polar Rock 125/1, Tenth of 15 in minor event at Leicester (7f, soft, 50/1) on debut 14 days ago. Needs a big step forward. 50-1 when well beaten in a Leicester novice (7f, soft) two weeks ago.
7th	2 7th (2) (33/1 -83%) Pulcheria	33 33/1(-83%)	(2) Pulcheria 33/1, Fair ex-French filly who posted a good third of 7 in maiden at Angouleme (5f, firm) 16 months ago. Hood back on. Not discounted for her new yard despite her long absence. Inconsistent for former yards; absent for 507 days; carries risk.
8th	10 8th (10) (80/1 +0%) Maid For Harry	80 80/1(+0%)	(10) Maid For Harry 80/1, Harry Angel filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart winner up to 1m Hors de Combat and useful winner up to 6.3f Stroll Patrol. Respected newcomer. Half-sister to seven winners (three with RPR in excess of 100); useful standard to aim at.
9th	5 9th (5) (66/1 +18%) Cabaret Show	66 66/1(+18%)	(5) Cabaret Show 66/1, Twice-raced maiden. Ninth of 11 in maiden at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 12/1). Off 165 days and has had a wind op. More needed. She has had a wind op following two modest efforts on AW this winter; longer-term project.
10th	4 10th (4) (250/1 -213%) Almavillalobas	250 250/1(-213%)	(4) Almavillalobas 250/1, Master Carpenter filly. Dam ran once out of US 2-y-o 5f winner Song of Music. Others appeal more. Limited encouragement on breeding and she would be a surprise winner.

LTO Selection:

Both Ivory Madonna and Ludmilla have some decent form in the book and, though both merit respect, they might prove vulnerable to a less-exposed rival. With that in mind, a chance can be taken on ELECTRIC STORM. The Night Of Thunder filly is berthed well in stall three, and has enough in her pedigree to suggest she can be a force on this racecourse bow. Similar comments apply to 325,000gns purchase Velvet Crush, though a wide draw is far from ideal. Newmarket winner Le Mans is also considered, but this looks tougher under a penalty.

LUDMILLA rates the form pick here and looked to fail for stamina upped to 1m2f when sixth at Windsor last time out so gets the nod now reverted in distance. Le Mans rates the obvious threat despite saddling a 7 lb penalty for her debut Newmarket success. Al Haan has more to offer and is another to consider in an open novice along with newcomers Electric Storm and Velvet Crush.

Full Regalia is bred to appreciate the switch to AW but she finished behind LE MANS at Newmarket and may do so again here.

Hat-trick seeker on whom Keane does well; up 14lb but has to be respected.
2	10 2nd (10) (80/1 -220%) Plunkett Street	80 80/1(-220%)	(10) Plunkett Street 80/1, Thrice-raced maiden on Flat. 80/1, last of 10 in maiden at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft) 29 days ago.

Market check advised on handicap debut/return. Nothing as yet in maidens so hard to make a case for on handicap debut; market best guide.
10th	8 10th (8) (25/1 +62%) Sea The Dawn	25 25/1(+62%)	(8) Sea The Dawn 25/1, Thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Ballinrobe (12.6f, good to soft, 25/1) 23 days ago. Down in trip. Makes limited appeal. Last month's Ballinrobe comeback run wasn't too encouraging; hard to fancy.

Modest on the Flat, respectable on last Flat outing. Others preferred. Comes here on the back of an early fall at Cork; doesn't strike as an obvious player.
14th	1 14th (1) (12/1 -33%) Barrys Rock	12 12/1(-33%)	(1) Barrys Rock 12/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Creditable seventh of 22 in handicap at the Curragh (9f, good, 10/1) 47 days ago, never nearer. Each-way claims. Back to optimum trip here and 19-race maiden not one to rule out.
15th	5 15th (5) (18/1 +45%) Superior Council	18 18/1(+45%)	(5) Superior Council 18/1, Ninth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f, 20/1). Off 7 months. Needs a couple of these to falter. Back from 7 months' absence and likely best watched.

LTO Selection:

Having made the breakthrough at Leopardstown in June, an 8lb rise didn't stop EVERYLITTLESTEP from following up at Killarney. The manner of victory was even more impressive at the Co Kerry venue and despite another 6lb hike from the handicapper, she looks the one to beat with Colin Keane again in the saddle. Rockbury Lad has been knocking on the door of late and is given second preference, while three-time course winner Shona Mea always warrants respect at Gowran. Trained by shrewd local handler Barry Fitzgerald, Molly Hall is an interesting contender on her handicap debut, with Barrys Rock, Khattaat (first-time visor) and Navan runner-up Flier other leading contenders.

EVERYLITTLESTEP arrives at the top of her game and is taken to complete the hat-trick. Rockbury Lad and Flier head the list of dangers.

Not too many appeal and EVERYLITTLESTEP is taken to complete the hat-trick. Good ground could enable her to see out this trip

Sights significantly lowered here and big chance judged on debut near-miss at Thirsk. Slugged it out well when 3rd over 7f; out of depth in Listed race 10 days ago; form chance.
2	1 2nd (1) (5/1 -50%) Many A Year	5 5/1(-50%)	(1) Many A Year 5/1, Twice-raced gelding. Second of 11 in minor event (14/1) at Salisbury (6f, good) 18 days ago. Likely he will come into his own when making the switch to handicap company. Runner-up over 6f on 2nd start; withdrawn after proving difficult to saddle on Sunday.

Return to this trip looks a good move and she should be firmly in the mix. Best form on good to firm but has run well on soft, dropped to 5f on latest; major player.
4	3 4th (3) (2.5/1 +62%) Monty Be Quick	2.5 2.5/1(+62%)	(3) Monty Be Quick 2.5/1, Twice-raced gelding. Eighth of 11 in minor event (33/1) at Kempton (8f) 7 days ago, left poorly placed. Shaped with some encouragement when runner-up on debut at Pontefract last month and perhaps this drop in trip will help. Out of depth on AW last week; signs of ability on 1m debut; not sure to be suited by 6f.
5th	4 5th (4) (11/1 -22%) Mma Ramotswe	11 11/1(-22%)	(4) Mma Ramotswe 11/1, Twice-raced filly. Third of 6 in maiden at Bath (5.7f, good, 25/1) 7 days ago. Another who will be of greater interest in handicaps but worth a second look all the same. Fared much better at Bath (about 5f, good to soft) than on debut; likely to progress.
6th	2 6th (2) (50/1 +24%) The Tiger Tank	50 50/1(+24%)	(2) The Tiger Tank 50/1, 50/1, fifth of 9 in novice hurdle at Market Rasen (16.6f, good) 10 days ago. Hard to warm to starting out on the Flat here. Modest form in bumpers/hurdles; Flat influences in pedigree but queried over 6f.

LTO Selection:

VIOLETS STAR run a debut full of promise at huge odds at Thirsk over 7f and she was highly tried on only her second start in Listed company at Deauville. She was well beaten that day but drops into a maiden now and can take full advantage. Many A Year was free to post last time at Salisbury when an encouraging second, so that performance can be upgraded, while Monty Be Quick could put his best foot forward back on turf after disappointing at Kempton.

This represents a good opportunity for TUKI TUKI, who has made the frame on each of her 3 starts and conditions here won't pose a problem. Violets Star is the clear main danger on the strength of her promising debut at Thirsk where she went close at huge odds. Monty Be Quick, Mma Ramotswe and Many A Year (in that order of preference) should all be in there pitching for minor place money.

If VIOLETS STAR is none the worse for her recent trip to France she should be a force at this more suitable level.

Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 10/3, seventh of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good) 53 days ago, not ideally placed. Went close off higher marks on AW at the end of 2022. Considered.

Possibly unsuited by heavy ground when unable to make an impact in 2 good-quality 3-y-o handicaps at Newbury and Chester in the spring. Retains potential back from a break/gelding operation. Unplaced in two stronger handicaps on soft in spring; gelded since; C&D winner; yard run 2.
8th	5 8th (5) (7.5/1 -7%) Zu Run	7.5 7.5/1(-7%)	(5) Zu Run 7.5/1, Twenty fourth of 25 in International handicap at Ascot (7f, good to soft) 18 days ago but had been a creditable fourth in a Class 4 handicap there prior to that and he might do better with his sights lowered again. Cheekpieces added. Won his novice on AW. 7f AW winner one year ago; pick of this year's form gives him claims; headgear on today.
9th	6 9th (6) (3.5/1 +13%) Harry Magnus	3.5 3.5/1(+13%)	(6) Harry Magnus 3.5/1, Made a winning handicap debut at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) in May. Not helped by slowish starts when below that level on both subsequent outings. Still early days, though, and could bounce back if breaking on terms. Ryan Moore takes the ride again. C&D winner who is well treated on his best form; needs serious consideration.
10th	12 10th (12) (33/1 +0%) Hover On The Wind	33 33/1(+0%)	(12) Hover On The Wind 33/1, 13/2 and blinkered first time, last of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Steps back up in trip on this return to AW. Ran poorly latest and he now has something to prove stepping back up in distance.
11th	13 11th (13) (40/1 -21%) Wake Up Harry	40 40/1(-21%)	(13) Wake Up Harry 40/1, Went close over 1m at Lingfield in January but this quirky sort wasn't in the same form here just over a month later. Probably best watched back from 168 days off. Near miss in a 1m Class 6 in January; off since lesser run here in March; tough task.

LTO Selection:

In an open contest, only a tentative vote can go to TAHITIAN PRINCE. The gelded son of Siyouni was well beaten at Yarmouth last month, but was much more competitive on an artificial surface previously. Well drawn in stall three, and from 7lb below his last winning mark, it would be no surprise were he to bounce back. Hover On The Wind remains open to improvement and is an interesting candidate back over further. Ernie's Valentine and Zu Run are just two others to consider.

ERNIE'S VALENTINE is well handicapped back on AW and might prove the answer from a handy draw. It's hasn't clicked lately for Charles Hills pair Harry Magnus and Lord Uhtred but they remain relatively unexposed and have winning form on AW so it's possible they'll revive. Zero Carbon's good AW record also makes him a dangerous one to discount.

It is possible to excuse HARRY MAGNUS (nap) his last two defeats and he still appeals as being ahead of the handicapper.

6th	4 6th (4) (4/1 +56%) Barretstown	4 4/1(+56%)	(4) Barretstown 4/1, Latest win at Dundalk in February. 7/1, saddle slipped early when last of 17 in handicap at Navan (10f, soft) 32 days ago. Booking of Lee a plus. Enters calculations. Whilst 2-10 on AW, is 0-21 on grass; had excuses latest at Naas and Billy Lee booked.
7th	19 7th (19) (4.5/1 +25%) Sioux Princess	4.5 4.5/1(+25%)	(19) Sioux Princess 4.5/1, 7/2, first run since leaving Anthony McCann when respectable 4¼ lengths sixth of 17 to Simply Sideways in handicap at Naas (8f, soft) 21 days ago. RESERVE. Second reserve; well-fancied on stable debut at Naas but likely resented soft ground.
8th	12 8th (12) (11/1 +21%) Qaabil	11 11/1(+21%)	(12) Qaabil 11/1, Course winner. One win from 24 Flat runs. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap (7/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f). Off 152 days. Just 1-29, he made a couple of visits to Wolverhampton in March and ran pretty well.

13th	9 13th (9) (66/1 -164%) Everyhouronthehour	66 66/1(-164%)	(9) Everyhouronthehour 66/1, Course winner. Seventeenth of 22 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f, good, 80/1) 55 days ago. Usually good for a win each season; however, form since his last one not inspiring.

LTO Selection:

A competitive affair with four last-time-out winners in the line-up. There was just a nose between Red Trail and NOT JUST ANY EAGLE over the course and distance last month, with the latter now taken to gain revenge. Slightly better off at the weights, the Pat Flynn-trained selection might be able to provide apprentice Robyn Donaghue-Leahy with her first track success. Rated just 44, Vidala sprang a surprise on her return to action at Leopardstown in June and it'll be interesting to see if she can defy a 6lb rise. Simply Sideways is a consistent sort and after winning at Naas last month, she is a leading contender. Her trainer Tim Doyle also saddles Alfalfa, who warrants respect with Colin Keane booked to ride. Men Of Dreams reverts to the level after winning over flights at Kilbeggan and he is sure to have plenty of supporters, while Slamadoor and Qaabil are other leading hopes.

NOT JUST ANY EAGLE enjoys a 2 lb swing in the weights with Red Trail for his narrow defeat here last month and that might be enough for him to turn the tables on Andrew McNamara's charge. Simply Sideways and Barretstown, whose latest run is easily ignored, are a couple of others to consider in this very open handicap.

If Sioux Princess gets in as a reserve, she would be the pick. Otherwise, MEN OF DREAMS is a hopeful pick

1	2 1st (2) (1.2/1 +31%) Starproof	1.2 1.2/1(+31%)	(2) Starproof 1.2/1, Winner at Lingfield in July. 8/11, seventh of 8 in handicap at the same course (6f, good to firm) 8 days later. Big player if able to bounce back. Easy win at Lingfield last month; disappointing there since but she's not written off.
2	1 2nd (1) (5/1 -186%) Fifty Year Storm	5 5/1(-186%)	(1) Fifty Year Storm 5/1, Thrice-raced winner. Ninth of 12 in handicap (13/2) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 22 days ago. Entitled to come on for that run and she remains of interest given promise shown as a 2-y-o. Could improve for last month's reappearance outing; dam won on heavy going; not ruled out.
3	3 3rd (3) (1.25/1 +38%) Margaret's Fuchsia	1.25 1.25/1(+38%)	(3) Margaret's Fuchsia 1.25/1, Career best when winning 4-runner maiden (4/1) at this course (7.4f, heavy) 8 days ago. Likely to give it a good shot but may prove vulnerable under a penalty. Made all in heavy-ground maiden here last week and strong claims now back in a handicap.

LTO Selection:

STARPROOF did it very nicely at Lingfield on her penultimate start when going in by over three lengths, but she followed that up with a very disappointing effort next time. However, she is well worth another chance while that impressive display two starts ago remains fresh in the memory. Margaret's Fuchsia shed her maiden tag here last time over an extended 7f and looks an interesting contender back at this distance. Stryder warrants a market check too.

FIFTY YEAR STORM can be expected to step up on her belated reappearance spin on the all-weather and, judged on what she showed in two starts as a juvenile, there should be handicaps to be won with her off this sort of mark. Next on the list is Starproof, who was disappointing at Lingfield last time but is well worth another chance given the decisive nature of her victory at the same course eight days earlier. Margaret's Fuchsia can edge out handicap debutant Stryder for minor honours.

The in-form filly MARGARET'S FUCHSIA (nap) won a heavy-ground maiden here last week and is taken to follow up now back in a handicap.

1	4 1st (4) (18/1 +0%) Botas	18 18/1(+0%)	(4) Botas 18/1, Latest win at Evreux in April. Ninth of 11 in handicap (15/2) at Sandown (10f, soft) 20 days ago. Needs to bounce back but may well do so and he boasts a healthy strike rate on synthetics (4-10). 6 wins in France; ran well on first 2 British starts (including C&D); 1m2f excuses latest.
2	6 2nd (6) (10/1 -11%) Billy Mill	10 10/1(-11%)	(6) Billy Mill 10/1, C&D winner. 22/1, last of 9 in handicap at Sandown (8f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Would be in with a chance were he to reproduce the form that saw him finish a close third off a 5 lb higher mark over C&D in May. Conditions to suit & he's become well treated on the back of three lesser runs; e-w shout.
3	11 3rd (11) (2.5/1 +50%) Umberto	2.5 2.5/1(+50%)	(11) Umberto 2.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fifth of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, firm, 7/2) 70 days ago. Gelded since and now tried in a visor, he's not discounted given that he's on a good mark judged on some of his form. Still has time to do better & gelding operation/addition of visor can help; yard flying.
4	5 4th (5) (3.33/1 +45%) King Cabo	3.33 3.33/1(+45%)	(5) King Cabo 3.33/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Lingfield in May. 10/1, good second of 12 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Likely to be in the thick of things. Improved performer this year; good 2nd at Newmarket latest but a 3lb rise asks more of him.
5th	14 5th (14) (4.5/1 -13%) Goldsmith	4.5 4.5/1(-13%)	(14) Goldsmith 4.5/1, Respectable second of 10 in handicap (7/2) at Epsom (8.5f, good to firm) 27 days ago, not ideally placed. Deserves to get his head back in front and likely to make a bold bid to do just that here. He's done well for this yard and is in form, but this represents a step up in class.
6th	12 6th (12) (10/1 -11%) Almarin	10 10/1(-11%)	(12) Almarin 10/1, 18/5, fourth of 6 in handicap at Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Makes polytrack debut and blinkers on 1st time. Couldn't rule out. Has threatened in a visor this summer; below par latest and now tries blinkers.
7th	1 7th (1) (16/1 -78%) Arctician	16 16/1(-78%)	(1) Arctician 16/1, Course winner. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Lingfield in March. 16/5, fifth of 8 in handicap at this course (7f). Off 105 days. Perhaps a shade too high in the weights for now. Not at best here last time but AW form beforehand stacks up well; good record for L Morris.
8th	3 8th (3) (28/1 -27%) Double Time	28 28/1(-27%)	(3) Double Time 28/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. Ninth of 10 in handicap (9/1) at Leicester (8.2f, good to firm) 79 days ago, slowly away. Will need to raise his game in order to take this. Three-time AW winner but he can pull hard so his wide draw could be problematic.
9th	2 9th (2) (20/1 -43%) Francesi	20 20/1(-43%)	(2) Francesi 20/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 18/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 18 days ago. Now 2 lb lower than for his solid reappearance second at Southwell in April and a reproduction of that would put him in the picture. Not kicked on form his promising seasonal return; down in weights but needs a revival.
10th	7 10th (7) (25/1 +24%) Brunel Charm	25 25/1(+24%)	(7) Brunel Charm 25/1, Course winner. 28/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Sandown (8f, good) 40 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Returning to AW can help but others in this field have more compelling claims.
11th	8 11th (8) (22/1 +33%) God Of Fire	22 22/1(+33%)	(8) God Of Fire 22/1, Last of 9 in handicap (16/1) at Ascot (10f, good to soft) 33 days ago. Plenty to find on form. AW maiden winner in January but he's struggled in three turf handicaps (1m2f) this summer.
12th	9 12th (9) (11/1 -83%) Time's Eye	11 11/1(-83%)	(9) Time's Eye 11/1, Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good, 14/1) 18 days ago, better placed than most. More needed up 3 lb on this polytrack debut but she's in good hands and will be a threat if able to build on that breakthrough success. Step up to 1m saw her break her duck at Windsor last month; contender despite 3lb rise.

LTO Selection:

Time's Eye broke through at Windsor and has to be considered off 3lb higher, but her ability to handle the all-weather must be taken on trust. With that in mind, C&D winner KING CABO just shades the vote because he was over two lengths clear of the third when touched off at Newmarket recently. He is also asked to compete off 3lb higher, but he could be up to it. Arctician and Umberto are others to consider in an open contest.

The vote goes to GOLDSMITH, who has been knocking on the door of late and his latest Epsom second off this mark can be upgraded a touch as he wasn't ideally placed. Gelded since his latest start and now equipped with more severe headgear, Umberto rates the main danger but there are several others with claims in this competitive handicap, including King Cabo and recent Windsor winner Time's Eye. Billy Mill would also be a threat if bouncing back.

There is still more to come from UMBERTO and he returns from a break with his stable in fine form. He's preferred to Billy Mill.

4	2 4th (2) (11/1 -69%) The Shunter	11 11/1(-69%)	(2) The Shunter 11/1, Lightly-raced winner on the Flat. Smart winner at 21f in chases. 25/1, fifteenth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (19.1f, good to soft) 109 days ago. Off 109 days and needs a career-best in this sphere. Yard also saddles Aurora Princess.

6th	9 6th (9) (33/1 -18%) Rushford	33 33/1(-18%)	(9) Rushford 33/1, Bit below form ninth of 15 in handicap hurdle (10/1) at Ballinrobe (17f, good) 22 days ago. Creditable effort on last Flat run (for Sir Mark Prescott) and it would be no surprise were he to take a hand in the finish.

LTO Selection:

Plenty of these have questions to answer so the in-form YOUCRACKMEUP looks the safest option. Versatile in terms of trip and ground, the Jessica Harrington-trained three-year-old impressed when making all on her most recent start at Galway, with subsequent winner Fratas eight lengths back in third. Upped 10lb for that success, the Cracksman bay is clearly improving and faces her toughest test to date now. Emmet Mullins saddles two of the 10 declared, with his Aurora Princess given second preference. She ran twice at Galway and was beaten just a head over flights, disappointing on the level when turned out again quickly. Fitted with a tongue-strap for the first time now, she should give a good account of herself. Smooth Tom is another capable of making his presence felt, while Goodie Two Shoes and The Shunter both warrant respect.

There may well be better to come from GOODIE TWO SHOES, who wasn't disgraced on her first start in handicap company at the Curragh where she was returning from a 5-month break. Entitled to come on for that run and likely to benefit from this step up in trip, the Fastnet Rock filly gets the nod ahead of British import Wandering Rocks and Aurora Princess, who has slipped to an attractive mark in this sphere. Others to consider include the progressive Youcrackmeup and Rushford.

GOODIE TWO SHOES could prove the answer despite top weight. Another filly, Youcrackmeup, is thriving. Wandering Rocks could win

2	4 2nd (4) (3/1 +57%) Buxlow Boy	3 3/1(+57%)	(4) Buxlow Boy 3/1, Unreliable sort. Fourth of 5 in handicap (13/2) at this course (10f, heavy) 16 days ago.

3	2 3rd (2) (0.73/1 +0%) Natacata	0.73 0.73/1(+0%)	(2) Natacata 0.73/1, Excellent second of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (11.6f, heavy, 13/2) 11 days ago, having run of race. 3 lb nudge fair enough and she's the one to beat. Close second at Lingfield on second handicap start and holds leading claims up 3lb.
4	1 4th (1) (14/1 -155%) Duke Of Vienna	14 14/1(-155%)	(1) Duke Of Vienna 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, fourth of 7 in handicap at Limerick (11.5f, good to firm) 63 days ago. Claims if able to build on that effort for new connections here. Fair fourth on handicap debut at Limerick and could have a part to play on stable debut.

LTO Selection:

NATACATA attempted to make all at Lingfield, but she was just denied by a neck. That was her best performance to date, though, and she is fancied despite getting a 3lb rise for that display. Duke Of Vienna makes his first start for the Alexandra Dunn stable and, if the market speaks in his favour, he would be of interest. Buxlow Boy can beat Nusra home for third.

Though winless following 23 attempts in this sphere, NUSRA would have every chance of belatedly opening her account if able to reproduce the form of her effort at Limerick in April where she went close in a 15-runner handicap off this mark. The Irish raider is an appealing alternative to likely favourite Natacata, who showed improvement when going down narrowly at Lingfield last time. Duke of Vienna won't be far away if able to build on his latest effort on this debut for new connections.

This looks a good opportunity for NATACATA to get off the mark after her close second on soft ground at Lingfield 11 days ago.

6th	4 6th (4) (8/1 -140%) Pistoletto	8 8/1(-140%)	(4) Pistoletto 8/1, 12/1, capitalised on a falling mark under this rider when winning 7-runner handicap at this C&D 5 weeks ago, staying on to lead close home.

LTO Selection:

Pistoletto capitalised on a falling handicap figure over C&D last month and a rise of just 3lb is likely to keep him bang in contention. However, the vote goes to SEA ME DANCE, who showed her liking for this track when scoring over 1m4f to shed her maiden tag. She followed that up with an underwhelming effort at Newmarket, but the return to the all-weather could help her to bounce back. Luke Morris takes over in the saddle on Hurtle, who likely has more to offer.

OPEN CHAMPION has been bitterly disappointing this year but dropped back in grade and with first-time headgear applied, Alan King's 4-y-o is worth one more chance. Pistoletto capitalised on a falling mark when scoring over C&D 5 weeks ago, so he could be the one to give the selection most to think about nudged up 3 lb, ahead of Red Royalist and Sea Me Dance.

Intergalacticat and SEA ME DANCE may be the pair to focus on and the return to AW counts in the selection's favour.

6th	4 6th (4) (22/1 +33%) Savoy Brown	22 22/1(+33%)	(4) Savoy Brown 22/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Lingfield in March. 40/1, last of 11 in handicap at Epsom (12f, good) 42 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. C&D winner; won a weak race at Lingfield in March; can bounce back from two lesser efforts.
7th	5 7th (5) (40/1 -21%) Pyrrhic Dancer	40 40/1(-21%)	(5) Pyrrhic Dancer 40/1, 7/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f) 12 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time. Others more appealing. Yet to fire for new yard and opposable despite the addition of blinkers.
8th	10 8th (10) (20/1 -11%) Star Turn	20 20/1(-11%)	(10) Star Turn 20/1, Poor form in maiden/novice events in recent months but more realistic chance now sent handicapping. 1 lb out of the weights. Engaged 5.30 Lingfield Tuesday. Heavy defeats in 3 qualifying runs up to 1m4f; this is more suitable; non-runner Tuesday.
9th	9 9th (9) (2.75/1 +31%) Alex The Great	2.75 2.75/1(+31%)	(9) Alex The Great 2.75/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 2/1, last of 7 in handicap at Ripon (12f, good) 37 days ago. Remains with potential and not ruled out. Encouraging h'cap debut but tailed off at Ripon latest; return to AW could suit.
10th	8 10th (8) (80/1 -60%) Show Me The Wire	80 80/1(-60%)	(8) Show Me The Wire 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 100/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Leicester (11.8f, soft) 14 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Makes limited appeal. Only rateable effort came in his one AW start; blinkers now tried; risky.

LTO Selection:

Geelong made the frame over 1m6f at Wolverhampton and his time has looked near for a while now, so he warrants plenty of respect off the same rating. However, preference is still for CLUB MANAGER, who may have not handled the track at Lingfield but he did well to finish third and could improve on that. More has been expected of Alex The Great because he has been sent off at short prices the last twice and he could put in a better display.

There should be more to come from CLUB MANAGER, who posted improved form when third on handicap debut at Lingfield earlier this month and remains low mileage. He gets the nod. Geelong and Roman Tempest are feared most.

Unexposed pair Alex The Great and CLUB MANAGER appeal most and the latter can build on his recent Lingfield third.
