1	3 1st (3) (7/1 -40%) Whacker Clan		7 7/1(-40%)																															(3) Whacker Clan 7/1, Two wins from 4 runs last season. Creditable third of 8 in handicap chase at Wexford (25.3f, good to soft, 6/1) 61 days ago. Each-way chance. Only a length away in latest handicap; some doubts about him on rain-softened ground.
2	12 2nd (12) (14/1 +44%) Lake Chad		14 14/1(+44%)																															(12) Lake Chad 14/1, Course winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Sixth of 8 in handicap chase at Kilbeggan (19f, good to soft, 12/1) 8 days ago, left poorly placed. Needs a couple of these to falter. Each-way claims on the pick of this year's form in handicaps and rain is not a bother..
3	4 3rd (4) (2.5/1 -43%) Inclusion		2.5 2.5/1(-43%)																															(4) Inclusion 2.5/1, Promising individual. 11/10, career best when winning 12-runner novice chase at Tipperary (19.5f, soft) 47 days ago, cruising clear. Makes handicap chase debut and expected to be bang there. Won a beginners' chase at Wexford as she liked and is open to further improvement.
4	2 4th (2) (3.5/1 +56%) Rotten Row		3.5 3.5/1(+56%)																															(2) Rotten Row 3.5/1, Career best when winning 8-runner novice chase at this course (15.5f, good, 8/1) 3 days ago, forging clear. Carries penalty and significantly up in trip for this handicap chase debut. Novice winner here on Thursday; penalised and forecast rain tempers enthusiasm.
5th	13 5th (13) (14/1 +13%) Where's Bunny		14 14/1(+13%)																															(13) Where's Bunny 14/1, Course winner. Three wins from 13 runs last season. 14/1, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (20.4f, soft) 9 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Has work to do. Her last win came in a 1m7f handicap chase here last October; good and bad in the meantime.
6th	11 6th (11) (5/1 +38%) Influential Lady		5 5/1(+38%)																															(11) Influential Lady 5/1, C&D winner. Creditable third of 13 in handicap hurdle (10/1) at Sligo (20.4f, good to soft) 10 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Switches from hurdles to chase. Has been running well over hurdles but failed to complete her last two chases.
7th	8 7th (8) (14/1 +13%) Broken Ice		14 14/1(+13%)																															(8) Broken Ice 14/1, Tenth of 14 in handicap chase at Market Rasen (21.4f, soft, 25/1) 29 days ago. Others more persuasive. Struggled in Market Rasen's Summer Plate latest but went into that in a decent run of form.
8th	7 8th (7) (10/1 +50%) Hamundarson		10 10/1(+50%)																															(7) Hamundarson 10/1, Fairly useful winner at 16f over hurdles. 12/1, fifth of 8 in handicap chase at Kilbeggan (19f, soft) 30 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Must improve. Beaten about 20l on handicap debut latest and blinkers replace cheekpieces.
9th	1 9th (1) (8/1 +50%) Pat Coyne		8 8/1(+50%)																															(1) Pat Coyne 8/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 8 runs last season. 12/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap hurdle at this course (21f, soft) 2 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Others have achieved more. 12lb higher than when winning this last year and might be vulnerable.
5	5 |PU| (5) (40/1 -82%) Charlie Stout		40 40/1(-82%)																															(5) Charlie Stout 40/1, 33/1, bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap chase at Galway (18.2f, soft) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Comfortably held on last three appearances and this veteran is thoroughly exposed.

LTO Selection:

INFLUENTIAL LADY, who won the mares beginners chase on the corresponding card 12 months ago, looks to have been primed for this meeting. The James Barcoe-trained nine-year-old showed that she can be competitive off this sort of mark when runner-up at Punchestown in April and has been campaigned both on the flat and over hurdles of late. Back on a track where she has proven her effectiveness, the Doyen mare can score. Inclusion arrives here on the back of a very easy win at Tipperary last time. However, Willie Mullin's mare, who was well beaten by Influential Lady over course and distance last year, has to give considerable weight away now. Rotten Row, a winner here on Thursday evening, should appreciate stepping up in trip as he bids to double up for trainer Tony Mullins.

INCLUSION stepped up on her chase debut when coasting home at Tipperary and, with the promise of better to come now pitched into a handicap in this sphere, she will prove hard to beat. Top Line Tommy, a wide-margin C&D winner in June, shaped better than the bare result at Wexford recently and he is feared most. Influential Lady and Whacker Clan both make each-way appeal.

The Mullins mare INCLUSION smacked of an improving 6yo when winning at Tipperary and she was balloted out of Galway.

1	2 1st (2) (0.57/1 +62%) Master Of My Fate		0.57 0.57/1(+62%)																															(2) Master Of My Fate 0.57/1, Foaled April 12. €11,000 foal, €12,000 yearling, 90,000 gns 2-y-o. Footstepsinthsand colt. Dam, maiden, out of Italian 2-y-o 5f-1¼m winner Seinellanima, herself half-sister to smart winner Off Limits. Yard can ready a newcomer. 11,000euros foal, 12,000euros yearling, 90,000gns 2yo; first foal; dam unplaced at 5f-1m..
2	6 2nd (6) (6.5/1 +68%) Goldmine Girl		6.5 6.5/1(+68%)																															(6) Goldmine Girl 6.5/1, Showed more than on debut when sixth of 8 in minor event at York (6f, good to firm, 100/1) 37 days ago. Still likely to need more time, though. Neither sire nor dam ever raced over 5f, so perhaps the drop won't play to her strengths..
3	5 3rd (5) (18/1 +45%) Lazareti		18 18/1(+45%)																															(5) Lazareti 18/1, Still green and never involved when eighth of 11 in maiden at Thirsk (5f, heavy, 50/1) 15 days ago. Looks one for the longer term. Raced too freely on both starts but may still have a place hope.
4	3 4th (3) (5/1 +44%) Emerald Army		5 5/1(+44%)																															(3) Emerald Army 5/1, Foaled April 8. €21,000 foal, €38,000 yearling, £60,000 2-y-o, Invincible Army colt. Dam, maiden (stayed 1m), sister to smart winner up to 1m Dragon Pulse out of useful 1m winner Poetical. Watch for market clues. 21,000euros foal, 38,000euros yearling, £60.000 2yo; dam runner-up four times 7f-1m..
5th	4 5th (4) (6.5/1 +87%) Wichahpi		6.5 6.5/1(+87%)																															(4) Wichahpi 6.5/1, Very green and always behind when eleventh of 12 in minor event at Thirsk (6f, good to soft, 28/1) on debut 23 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward from her first experience. 28-1 on debut at Thirsk, when ducking left early on and always behind; much more needed..

LTO Selection:

---

Having been bested by a Roger Varian-inmate on his debut, TAN RAPIDO repaid the favour later that month, where he repelled the hot-favourite to score at Windsor. It's far from a daunting standard set by the remainder who boast previous experience, so this looks a good opportunity for Charlie Fellowes' colt to double his tally. Master Of My Fate makes enough appeal on paper to warrant a market check, while Goldmine Girl completes the shortlist.

Having made an encouraging debut when runner-up at Newcastle, TAN RAPIDO went one better at Windsor next time and he can continue his progress to score again. John Quinn is capable of readying a newcomer and Master of My Fate could pose the biggest threat to the selection, ahead of fellow debutant Emerald Army.

A weak contest and, despite conceding weight all around, this looks a good opportunity for TAN RAPIDO to back up his Windsor success.

1	10 1st (10) (14/1 +13%) Duplantis		14 14/1(+13%)																															(10) Duplantis 14/1, Eleventh of 18 in maiden at Leopardstown (7f, good to soft, 33/1) 31 days ago. Makes handicap debut back over 6f. Has failed to show any progress inhis last two runs; others preferred.
2	3 2nd (3) (3.5/1 -17%) Carnegie Hall		3.5 3.5/1(-17%)																															(3) Carnegie Hall 3.5/1, Improved form when second of 8 in nursery (11/4) at Cork (5f, good) 23 days ago, just failing. Merits consideration with 6f sure to suit. Step up to 6f is likely to suit although potential soft ground is an unknown; contender.
3	8 3rd (8) (12/1 -20%) Staysound Susie		12 12/1(-20%)																															(8) Staysound Susie 12/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 16/1, ninth of 16 in maiden at Naas (5f, good to firm) 53 days ago. Makes handicap debut and mark looks tough. Soft ground would be a question but certainly an interesting runner in her first handicap.
4	1 4th (1) (3.33/1 -33%) Jakajaro		3.33 3.33/1(-33%)																															(1) Jakajaro 3.33/1, Much improved when making a winning handicap debut over C&D. Second of 4 in nursery from revised mark at Galway (7f, soft, 10/11) 15 days ago and he's one to be very interested in again. 15lb higher than last month but softer ground will suit and he sets a decent standard.
5th	12 5th (12) (33/1 -32%) Velvet Skies		33 33/1(-32%)																															(12) Velvet Skies 33/1, 28/1, fifth of 7 in maiden at Galway (7f, soft) 14 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Modest maiden form; 4lb wrong and does not make much appeal.
6th	9 6th (9) (5.5/1 -10%) Sanshiro		5.5 5.5/1(-10%)																															(9) Sanshiro 5.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 10/1 and blinkered for first time, good 4¾ lengths second of 9 to Jakajaro in nursery at this C&D (soft) 29 days ago. No match for Jakajaro here last month; 15lb better off today and handles soft.
7th	4 7th (4) (3.2/1 +29%) West Of Wichita		3.2 3.2/1(+29%)																															(4) West Of Wichita 3.2/1, Respectable third of 16 in maiden (9/4) at Cork (6f, good) 23 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Shortlist material on pick of her form. Has gone close; handles any ground, looks fairly handicapped and likely to run her race.
8th	7 8th (7) (18/1 -13%) Guest Star		18 18/1(-13%)																															(7) Guest Star 18/1, Failed to repeat previous form when ninth of 14 in maiden at Fairyhouse (6f, good, 50/1) 39 days ago. Makes handicap debut and he's in excellent hands. Down the field in three maiden starts and not much chance taken with his opening mark.
9th	5 9th (5) (66/1 -65%) St Laurence's Gate		66 66/1(-65%)																															(5) St Laurence's Gate 66/1, Last of 14 in maiden (6/1) at Down Royal (7f, good) 58 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time switched to a nursery back in distance. Well beaten at Down Royal; cheekpieces tried here but needs to find more off this mark.
10th	6 10th (6) (40/1 -82%) Excel In Space		40 40/1(-82%)																															(6) Excel In Space 40/1, Backward step when last of 12 in maiden (22/1) at Navan (5.8f, soft), folding tamely. Off 99 days. Makes handicap debut. Ran no race on soft at Navan when last seen in May and gelded since; best watched.
11th	2 11th (2) (10/1 +0%) Prince X J		10 10/1(+0%)																															(2) Prince X J 10/1, Improved another chunk when winning at Fairyhouse in June. 11½ lengths eighth of 9 to Jakajaro in nursery at this C&D (soft, 10/1) 29 days ago. Stable having good spell but bounce back called for. Well beaten last twice including behind Jakajaro here last month; best watched for now.

LTO Selection:

---

CARNEGIE HALL showed a very likeable attitude when second over 5f at Cork and he has every chance of getting off the mark on his nursery bow. Aidan O'Brien's colt shaped as if this step up in trip would be a positive move and a bold bid can be expected. West Of Wichita has been a model of consistency in her career to date and she is likely to be on the scene again. Sanshiro was put in his place by Jakajaro over C&D but can get closer on the revised terms.

CARNEGIE HALL came up just a neck shy on nursery debut 3 weeks ago and with improvement forthcoming over 6f, he makes as much appeal as any of these. Jakajaro is going the right way and another bold bid seems assured, with West of Wichita completing the shortlist.

Despite his wanderings at Galway last time, JAKAJARO could not have been more impressive when winning here last month

Tongue strap on for 1st time, ninth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 25/1). Off 142 days. Chance on old form but recent efforts have been uninspiring. Losing run now up to 31, but he drops to this level for the first time.
2	1 2nd (1) (3.5/1 +30%) Flavius Titus		3.5 3.5/1(+30%)																															(1) Flavius Titus 3.5/1, Modest gelding nowadays. 12/1, improved on recent efforts to win 15-runner minor event at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 9 days ago in comfortable fashion. Shortlist material. AW winner who scored well at Thirsk last time; respected despite penalty.

Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. 13/2, again ran creditably when fourth of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 3 days ago. Place claims. Third behind Flavius Titus at Thirsk on penultimate start and 4lb better off.
5th	7 5th (7) (3/1 +25%) Wrath Of Hector		3 3/1(+25%)																															(7) Wrath Of Hector 3/1, Modest gelding. C&D winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Runner-up twice at Yarmouth before shaping as if still in good heart when fifth of 12 in minor event (9/2) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 32 days ago. Respected. Three-time course winner; only fifth at Wolverhampton last time; bit more needed.
6th	8 6th (8) (10/1 +9%) Aclaim To Fame		10 10/1(+9%)																															(8) Aclaim To Fame 10/1, Again showed little when seventh of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 50/1) 17 days ago. Hard to fancy. Hasn't built on the promise of her first two starts in the spring, but drops in grade.
7th	6 7th (6) (4/1 +11%) Thegreatestshowman		4 4/1(+11%)																															(6) Thegreatestshowman 4/1, Modest gelding. Course winner. Twenty two runs since last win in 2021. Good second of 10 in handicap (9/2) at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Not taken lightly. Losing run up to 22, but runner-up on consecutive days last week, others preferred for win.
8th	9 8th (9) (14/1 -180%) Gypsy Nation		14 14/1(-180%)																															(9) Gypsy Nation 14/1, Poor gelding. 13/2, below form fifth of 9 in minor event at Chelmsford City (6f) 5 days ago. Others preferred. Unplaced all ten starts and behind Thegreatestshowman on his penultimate outing.
9th	5 9th (5) (50/1 -355%) Suntory Star		50 50/1(-355%)																															(5) Suntory Star 50/1, Modest mare. 150/1, returned to form from out of blue on second start for this yard when third of 13 in minor event at Catterick (7f, good) 12 days ago. Can give another good account. Improved a great deal when third at Catterick last time; needs to back it up.
10th	10 10th (10) (100/1 -25%) Sir Arthur's Boy		100 100/1(-25%)																															(10) Sir Arthur's Boy 100/1, Has only beaten one rival across 5 starts and can't be recommended. Huge prices and shown little in five starts; blinkers on.

LTO Selection:

---

FLAVIUS TITUS appeared to win with something in hand in a similar contest at Thirsk last week and could take all the beating if running to a similar level on the switch to Tapeta. Thegreatestshowman posted another fair effort in defeat when runner-up in a handicap at Yarmouth and appears the obvious threat back in a classified event. Wrath Of Hector is often in the mix in this company and also warrants attention.

FLAVIUS TITUS produced his best effort for a while to score in similar company at Thirsk last week and he looks capable of following up, with the in-form pair Thegreatestshowman and Wrath of Hector topping the list of threats.

The choice is FLAVIUS TITUS (nap), who did it well when scoring at Thirsk last time and should take the beating despite the penalty.

Has the form to feature but he's inconsistent, having pulled up the last twice.

LTO Selection:

---

FULL NOISE remains a well-handicapped horse over fences so should have every chance of making a winning debut for new connections. The seven-year-old had plenty in hand when beating Likable Chancer at Downpatrick on his penultimate run and clearly something was amiss when he disappointed on his only subsequent outing at Limerick. Although the gelding could do with brushing up his jumping, he should have too much for this largely exposed opposition. The aforementioned Likable Chancer kept on well when runner-up to Full Noise on his most recent start but it is difficult to see him turning the form around at these revised weights. Some Woman has been running consistently in similar races of late so should again be capable of making her presence felt.

The vote goes to LIKABLE CHANCER, who opened his chase account here in April and he bounced back from a couple of low-key efforts when runner-up at Tipperary last time. The 9-y-o may well have won that day but for a couple of mistakes late on and he could prove hard to peg back if able to cut out the errors. Full Noise got the better of the selection at Downpatrick during the spring and will be a threat if on-song starting out for his new yard. Alexharwill is best of the rest.

Full Noise beat LIKABLE CHANCER the last time they met but the selection ran the best race of the pair last time out.

Tongue strap on for first time and this will reveal more. Last on debut; tongue tied; no surprise if she's better for that and a sound surface..
3	1 3rd (1) (3/1 +0%) Lucky Protector		3 3/1(+0%)																															(1) Lucky Protector 3/1, Sent off 40/1 but displayed improved form when second of 9 in maiden at this C&D (good to soft) 21 days ago, no match for winner. This isn't a strong race so he's one to consider. Improved effort C&D latest; sticks to novice company and will need another step up to win..
4	5 4th (5) (100/1 -203%) Magnolia Hawks		100 100/1(-203%)																															(5) Magnolia Hawks 100/1, Looks limited after 3 starts. Last of six on debut and below that form on both starts since..

Off 6 months and this is her turf debut. Some promise on debut (7f, AW) in December but couldn't build on that in February (1m, AW).

LUCKY PROTECTOR must concede 5lb to Evening Story, who is rated 1lb superior to Ivan Furtado's gelding. However, this can often by a tricky course to negotiate, and the former, who posted a fair second over C&D three weeks ago, could hold the edge with that in mind. Sheehan is related to a couple of winners and she ought to improve for her recent Nottingham debut.

EVENING STORY's return to action last week was satisfactory and, in a race lacking depth, this looks a good chance for her to get off the mark. Sheehan could be a different proposition away from the mud, while newcomer Catrake Force won't have to be a world-beater to figure.

The potential improver here is SHEEHAN, who might appreciate good ground and the fitting of a tongue-tie, and she gets the vote.

1	6 1st (6) (4.5/1 -64%) Jon Riggens		4.5 4.5/1(-64%)																															(6) Jon Riggens 4.5/1, Course winner. Latest win at Navan in May. Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap (3/1) at this course (5f, good) 8 days ago. Yard having good spell. Sure to go well. Third over 5f here last week; has his chance again but does seem to be better suited by 5f.
2	10 2nd (10) (3.5/1 -17%) Heavenly Power		3.5 3.5/1(-17%)																															(10) Heavenly Power 3.5/1, C&D winner. Good fifth of 20 in handicap at this course (6.3f, soft, 12/1) 29 days ago. Another bold show likely. Very creditable fifth of 20 in the Scurry; likes an ease in the ground so rain would suit.
3	1 3rd (1) (5/1 +50%) Big Gossey		5 5/1(+50%)																															(1) Big Gossey 5/1, C&D winner. 14/1 and visored for 1st time, bit below form 4¾ lengths sixth of 11 to Moss Tucker in Phoenix Sprint Stakes at this C&D (good) 8 days ago, not ideally placed. Ran okay after a slow start in the Phoenix Sprint last week; no surprise if he went close.
4	13 4th (13) (18/1 +10%) Hallowed Time		18 18/1(+10%)																															(13) Hallowed Time 18/1, Bit below form fifth of 15 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, soft, 16/1) 25 days ago. Others make more appeal. Best efforts in sprint handicaps at Tipperary and Down Royal; each-way chance at best.
5th	2 5th (2) (10/1 +38%) Prisoner's Dilemma		10 10/1(+38%)																															(2) Prisoner's Dilemma 10/1, C&D winner. Seventh of 11 in handicap at this course (5f, good, 14/1) 8 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Should benefit from the return to this distance. Not at his best in two runs this season but off a competitive mark; soft ground a worry.
6th	14 6th (14) (33/1 -32%) Pinar Del Rio		33 33/1(-32%)																															(14) Pinar Del Rio 33/1, C&D winner. 22/1, thirteenth of 16 in handicap at Galway (7f, soft) 19 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Needs the headgear to perk him up. Ran well in the Scurry before well beaten over 7f at Galway; 4lb wrong and a tough ask.
7th	3 7th (3) (14/1 +22%) Volatile Analyst		14 14/1(+22%)																															(3) Volatile Analyst 14/1, Six wins from 23 Flat runs. Fifth of 12 in handicap at Haydock (6f, firm, 50/1) 71 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Keith Dalgleish. Well worth a market check. Ran okay off this mark in a Haydock handicap in June; interesting on his Irish debut.
8th	8 8th (8) (22/1 -83%) Blairmayne		22 22/1(-83%)																															(8) Blairmayne 22/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Naas in April. 40/1, had little go right when seventeenth of 20 in handicap at this course (6.3f, soft) 29 days ago, hampered. Remains of some interest. Eight-time winner; ground could well suit today and a leading chance if back to his best.
9th	11 9th (11) (12/1 +0%) Ice Cold In Alex		12 12/1(+0%)																															(11) Ice Cold In Alex 12/1, 4-time course winner. 17/2, bit below form eleventh of 19 in handicap at this C&D (good) 8 days ago, never nearer. Could get involved if things drop right. Second in a 7f handicap here in May his best effort this year; others preferred.
10th	5 10th (5) (14/1 +30%) Mickey The Steel		14 14/1(+30%)																															(5) Mickey The Steel 14/1, 33/1, below form sixth of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (6f) 5 days ago. Likely to strip fitter for that, so not one to rule out. Solid efforts on soft on his first two starts this season; a danger if it's soft here.
11th	4 11th (4) (14/1 -211%) Red Letter Bray		14 14/1(-211%)																															(4) Red Letter Bray 14/1, Lightly-raced winner. Fifth of 7 in minor event (9/2) at Naas (7f, soft) 25 days ago, finding less than looked likely. Tongue strap on 1st time. Likely to benefit from this drop back in distance. Interesting back to this trip with any rain that falls very much in his favour.
12th	9 12th (9) (5.5/1 +31%) Running Cool		5.5 5.5/1(+31%)																															(9) Running Cool 5.5/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. 7/1, creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at this course (5f, good) 8 days ago. Should be on the premises. Not at his best in a pair of sprint handicaps; one of two good chances for the stable.
13th	7 13th (7) (80/1 -60%) Proletariat		80 80/1(-60%)																															(7) Proletariat 80/1, 50/1, first run since leaving Florian Guyader when seventeenth of 18 in handicap at this course (8f, good) on IRE debut 8 days ago. Back down in trip. Others preferred. 6f winner in France; no show in a 1m handicap here last week and best watched for now.

LTO Selection:

Volatile Analyst outran his big odds to finish a very creditable fifth at Haydock and he now makes his debut for the Adrian McGuiness stable, so he warrants a market check. However, the one to be on may be HEAVENLY POWER, who had a few of these behind when fifth over an extended 6f here last time and he has been kindly dropped 1lb by the handicapper since, with James Ryan claiming 7lb further aiding his cause. Red Letter Bray is of interest as he wears a tongue-tie for the first time and drops in trip.

JON RIGGENS has ben shaping up well and, with a solid pace anticipated, he's worth a chance to gain his second win of the campaign. Heavenly Power and Running Cool could emerge as the main dangers.

The forecast rain will be right up the street of the admirable veteran BLAIRMAYNE and he can take the spoils

2	9 2nd (9) (4.5/1 -29%) Haulfronhobbs		4.5 4.5/1(-29%)																															(9) Haulfronhobbs 4.5/1, Followed a good run with a below-par one when sixth of 10 in minor event at Yarmouth (6f, good, 3/1) 51 days ago, slowly away. However, she could bounce back from her latest effort following a break. Third on turf debut at Yarmouth, but well held there next time; enough to prove back on AW.
3	3 3rd (3) (3.5/1 +42%) Hot Scoop		3.5 3.5/1(+42%)																															(3) Hot Scoop 3.5/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Unable to land a blow having race wide when last of 10 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft, 11/1) 16 days ago. Could fare better back up in trip with blinkers reapplied. Drops to this level for the first time and his last AW effort reads well in this company.
4	5 4th (5) (8.5/1 +47%) Quanah		8.5 8.5/1(+47%)																															(5) Quanah 8.5/1, Ended last season out of form and has fared little better this year, eighth of 13 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good to soft, 28/1) 36 days ago. Back up in trip as he drops in grade. Form has nosedived over the past year; doesn't make much appeal.
5th	1 5th (1) (2.25/1 +18%) Beast Of Burden		2.25 2.25/1(+18%)																															(1) Beast Of Burden 2.25/1, Off the mark at Newcastle in May. 13/2, not seen to best effect when eighth of 10 in handicap (13/2) at Newcastle (1m) 22 days ago, racing on the far flank. Can get back to winning ways returned to this shorter trip. Won over 6f at Newcastle in May and much respected back at the trip down in grade.
6th	6 6th (6) (20/1 +20%) Trulie Good		20 20/1(+20%)																															(6) Trulie Good 20/1, Form has gone the wrong way, again finishing down the field when eighth of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, good to firm, 40/1) 66 days ago. Back up in distance. Has shown very little in ten starts including twice at this level; easily passed over.
7th	7 7th (7) (9/1 +10%) Amazing Arthur		9 9/1(+10%)																															(7) Amazing Arthur 9/1, Well below form on his last 3 starts, fourteenth of 15 in minor event at Thirsk (6f, good to firm, 28/1) 9 days ago. Application of blinkers needs to spark a revival. Very poor since finishing second at Carlisle in June; blinkers on.
8th	4 8th (4) (80/1 -60%) Milky Teal		80 80/1(-60%)																															(4) Milky Teal 80/1, Has offered little in 3 starts to date, tenth of 11 in minor event at Wetherby (7f, good to firm, 300/1) 68 days ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere. Beaten miles in all three starts; no appeal.

LTO Selection:

HAULFRONHOBBS comes with risks attached after being slowly away and making little impression at Yarmouth in late June. Nevertheless, Chris Dwyer's filly offered enough encouragement when placing at the same venue a couple of weeks prior, and a similar performance could be good enough to land this modest contest. Beast Of Burden arrives as the highest-rated contender and could bounce back to form now returned to 6f, with Hot Scoop making most appeal of the remainder.

Having opened her account at Newcastle in May, BEAST OF BURDEN had excuses when below form at the same course last time (raced on the far flank), so she can bounce back to winning ways as she drops in grade/trip. Haulfronhobbs could also leave a lesser effort behind as she returns from a break, with Coast another to consider if turned out again quickly.

Newcastle's May winner BEAST OF BURDEN drops into a 0-50 for the first time and commands plenty of respect back at this trip.

Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Unseated rider in novice hurdle at Cork (18.7f, good to soft, 2/1) 13 days ago. Should make his presence felt. Had plenty of chances in maidens but the ability is there to nick one.
1	12 1st (12) (0.91/1 +39%) Gentle And Kind		0.91 0.91/1(+39%)																															(12) Gentle And Kind 0.91/1, Promising individual. Second of 16 in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (19f, soft, 14/1) on NH debut 37 days ago. Stable in good form. Sets a solid standard. Clear second at Kilbeggan and the winner ran well in a hotter race at Galway.

Not progressed at all since finishing second to a good horse last November.

4	4 4th (4) (28/1 -40%) Walmix		28 28/1(-40%)																															(4) Walmix 28/1, Thrice-raced winner under Rules.

Bumper winner who could finish only a remote fifth on his switch to hurdling at Killarney.
5th	5 5th (5) (4.5/1 +50%) Down Around		4.5 4.5/1(+50%)																															(5) Down Around 4.5/1, Fair hurdler. 9/2, good fourth of 15 in novice hurdle at Limerick (22f, soft) 24 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. 0-8 in bumpers but ran well in some and again when fourth in latest maiden hurdle.
6th	13 6th (13) (50/1 +24%) Glorious Singer		50 50/1(+24%)																															(13) Glorious Singer 50/1, Modest hurdler. Remains a maiden after 15 hurdle runs. 14/1, bit below form tenth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Cork (18.7f, good to soft) 13 days ago, best work finish. More exposed than most of these and she has something to find on the figures.
7th	3 7th (3) (14/1 +30%) Rock On Pedro		14 14/1(+30%)																															(3) Rock On Pedro 14/1, Fair hurdler. 20/1, creditable sixth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (20f, good) 31 days ago.

9th	6 9th (6) (150/1 +70%) Le Sin Bin		150 150/1(+70%)																															(6) Le Sin Bin 150/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 250/1, sixth of 15 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (22.4f, good) 83 days ago. 28l sixth at Ballinrobe but he clearly needs to find more to win a maiden.
10th	11 10th (11) (6/1 +40%) Dylan's Day		6 6/1(+40%)																															(11) Dylan's Day 6/1, Fair hurdler. 13/2 and blinkered for 1st time, creditable second of 12 in novice hurdle at Downpatrick (21.3f, good) 63 days ago. Shown a similar level of form in her last three maidens and should be thereabouts.

Sixth of 10 in bumper at this course (16.6f, good, 18/1) 79 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Up in trip. A weakener in his two bumpers, beaten 31l (soft) and 23l (good).

REVEREND HUBERT should prove difficult to beat now that he steps up in trip on just his second start over hurdles. A dual winner on the flat when trained in Britain, the Zoffany gelding stayed on strongly to finish runner-up on his Irish and hurdling debut at Roscommon earlier this month. With an extra half-mile to travel now, the Charles Byrnes-trained five-year-old can make his stamina count. Point-to-point winner Gentle And Kind also shaped well on her hurdling debut, filling the second spot at Kilbeggan last month. Henry De Bromhead's mare is another that should be seen in an even better light now that she steps up to this distance. Misty's Gift is certainly good enough to win his maiden hurdle at some point, although he may just find this opposition a bit too strong.

Point winner GENTLE AND KIND made a most promising start under Rules when runner-up in a Kilbeggan maiden hurdle and, with improvement on the cards, she is taken to go one better here. Reverend Hubert was pretty useful on the Flat for Richard Hannon and also found just one too good on his first run in this sphere at Roscommon. He is next on the list ahead of Dylan's Day, while Misty's Gift and Walmix are others to consider.

Henry de Bromhead's GENTLE AND KIND must have had her issues but she's clearly talented judged on her Kilbeggan second.

Princess Shabnam made all when defeating Gale Force Maya (second) in this contest 12 months ago and the pair merit respect as they bid to get involved once again, but preference is for BELIEVING. George Boughey's filly enjoyed a fruitful start to her three-year-old campaign, winning a similar event at Chelmsford before going on to claim Group 3 honours at Chantilly in May. She failed to make an impact when sent into Group 2 company the following month, but the daughter of Mehmas sets the standard down in class and could take some beating if running to her true form. Craft Irish is also noted.

GALE FORCE MAYA bounced back to form when third in the Summer Stakes at York and a reproduction of that form may well prove good enough. Believing had excuses in a Group 2 in France so can be expected to bounce back despite her 5 lb penalty, while Demi Pointe is an interesting contender back from an absence given how the form of her novice win at Chelmsford has worked out.

The admirable GALE FORCE MAYA (nap) was back to form last time and can go one better than she did last year.

5th	3 5th (3) (9/1 +44%) G'day Mate		9 9/1(+44%)																															(3) G'day Mate 9/1, Confirmed debut promise when won 9-runner maiden at Bellewstown (5f, good to soft, 11/10) 45 days ago, finding extra to edge ahead again close home. Needs to take another step forward. Bellewstown winner; probably more to come and he does handle an ease; could go well.
6th	4 6th (4) (40/1 +20%) Sturlasson		40 40/1(+20%)																															(4) Sturlasson 40/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 6¼ lengths sixth of 9 to Gunzburg in maiden (7/2) at Down Royal (5f, good) 58 days ago, not clear run. Easy to look elsewhere. Two solid runs on testing ground very early in the season; could be a factor if it's soft.
7th	1 7th (1) (9/1 +0%) Son Of Corballis		9 9/1(+0%)																															(1) Son Of Corballis 9/1, Winner twice at Tipperary this season, including listed race. 12/1, fourteenth of 20 in Super Sprint at Newbury (5.2f, good) 29 days ago. Sound place claims under a penalty. Edged out Alabama in a Listed contest at Tipperary early last month; should go well here.
8th	7 8th (7) (25/1 -25%) Brighter		25 25/1(-25%)																															(7) Brighter 25/1, Winner at Dundalk on debut in April. 16/1, twelfth of 20 in minor event at Naas (5.9f, soft) 13 days ago. Appears not to have progressed and is hard to make a case for. Has not progressed on her last two runs and others look more likely here.
9th	6 9th (6) (6.5/1 +35%) Ashwiyaa		6.5 6.5/1(+35%)																															(6) Ashwiyaa 6.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Good third in Curragh Group 2 on penultimate outing but failed to land short odds 12-runner maiden (4/11) at Dundalk (6f) 5 days ago, running on. Yard in good form. Blinkers on 1st time. More required. Failed to land an ordinary looking Dundalk maiden on Tuesday and soft ground is an unknown.

An honourable fifth in the Windsor Castle when leading his side home and a narrow runner-up to the reopposing Son Of Corballis since, ALABAMA now gets 3lb from his Tipperary conqueror and can deservedly get off the mark. After pipping Asean on debut, Storm Miami went agonisingly close to making it two from two in Listed company back at Naas and can give the Ballydoyle colt most to think about for the trainer/jockey combination successful in this race for the last three years. Ashwiyaa is also capable of being in the shake-up.

STORM MIAMI was beaten only on the nod in the Marwell Stakes at Naas last time and Ger Lyons' filly appeals as the runner with the greatest scope for progress. Alabama finished just behind Son of Corballis when the pair met in this grade at Tipperary but looks capable of turning that form around, so rates as the biggest threat, though Son of Corballis himself and Rush Queen also are tricky to rule out.

The versatile STORM MIAMI (nap) gets the vote after a narrow and unlucky defeat in a Naas Listed last month

1	2 1st (2) (1.5/1 +20%) Another Gift		1.5 1.5/1(+20%)																															(2) Another Gift 1.5/1, Strong in the betting and improved a chunk when winning 7-runner nursery at Windsor (6f, good) 6 days ago, forging clear. Carries penalty switched to tapeta and she's very much the one to beat. Won easily on nursery debut at Windsor six days ago; 6lb penalty unlikely to stop her.
2	1 2nd (1) (5.5/1 +54%) Fly Pass		5.5 5.5/1(+54%)																															(1) Fly Pass 5.5/1, Runner-up at Chelmsford in June but unable to replicate that form since, respectable fourth of 9 in nursery at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Cheekpieces need to perk her up. Good second over 6f at Chelmsford in June and return to this trip may suit; cheekpieces on.
3	6 3rd (6) (11/1 -38%) Out Of Line		11 11/1(-38%)																															(6) Out Of Line 11/1, Left on the back foot after an early bump when sixth of 7 in nursery at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft, 7/1) 16 days ago. Back up in trip. Beaten 7l or more in four starts and more is needed.
4	9 4th (9) (33/1 -106%) Mist Of Lir		33 33/1(-106%)																															(9) Mist Of Lir 33/1, Already looks pretty exposed, seventh of 9 in nursery at Bath (5f, good, 11/2) 11 days ago. Back up in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Fourth on turf at Lingfield last month, but didn't back it up last time; others more solid.
5th	5 5th (5) (14/1 -27%) Mehigburn		14 14/1(-27%)																															(5) Mehigburn 14/1, Never a factor when last 8 of 9 in nursery (22/1) at Musselburgh (5f, good) 26 days ago. Looked ready for 6f. May appreciate the extra furlong on breeding, but needs to improve.
6th	11 6th (11) (25/1 -56%) Lyndsanda		25 25/1(-56%)																															(11) Lyndsanda 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for first time, fourth of 7 in nursery (16/1) at Bath (5f, good) 32 days ago. Up in trip. Makes tapeta debut. Improved when fourth last time and shaped as though 6f would suit; interesting.
7th	8 7th (8) (8.5/1 +29%) Ocean Sound		8.5 8.5/1(+29%)																															(8) Ocean Sound 8.5/1, Wasn't unbacked but could hardly have achieved less when ninth of 9 in nursery at Nottingham (6.1f, soft) 33 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Failed to beat a rival on nursery debut; best watched.
8th	10 8th (10) (3.5/1 +36%) Budding Poet		3.5 3.5/1(+36%)																															(10) Budding Poet 3.5/1, Seventh of 9 in minor event (80/1) at Nottingham (5f, good to soft) 43 days ago. In good hands for nursery debut and bred to do better as stamina is drawn out. Needs the switch to a nursery and extra furlong to bring about improvement.
9th	3 9th (3) (28/1 -27%) Tentatively		28 28/1(-27%)																															(3) Tentatively 28/1, Backward step when ninth of 11 in maiden at Chepstow (6.1f, good to soft, 18/1) 23 days ago. Makes handicap debut and she needs to raise her game. Out of the frame in three starts on turf; worth a market check on nursery/AW debut.
10th	7 10th (7) (25/1 +24%) Rock Lodge		25 25/1(+24%)																															(7) Rock Lodge 25/1, Promise on debut but backward steps twice since, last of 10 in maiden at Beverley (5f, soft) 27 days ago. Up in trip now tackling a nursery with first-time headgear on. Well held in three starts on turf; improvement required on nursery/AW debut.

ANOTHER GIFT justified strong support in the market when winning with authority on her handicap debut at Windsor on Monday. A 6lb penalty doesn't appear enough to stop Ed Dunlop's filly from completing a double and better things are expected. Charlie Mason didn't enjoy the best of passages when runner-up at Beverley on Thursday and looks an obvious threat racing off the same mark. Fly Pass and Out Of Line could battle it out for the remaining place.

ANOTHER GIFT powered away from her rivals when making a successful nursery debut last week, and assuming she's as effective on the AW, the follow up looks on the cards under a penalty. The return to 6f will suit Charlie Mason and he's a threat, while Budding Poet achieved very little in his qualifying runs but has been awarded a basement mark as a result and he's in very capable hands.

This can go to ANOTHER GIFT who bolted up on nursery debut at Windsor six days ago. A 6lb penalty shouldn't be enough to stop her.

1	5 1st (5) (7/1 -27%) Two Tribes		7 7/1(-27%)																															(5) Two Tribes 7/1, Dropped in trip with cheekpieces on first time, took a big step forward after 9 weeks off when runner-up in maiden at this C&D 10 days ago. Blinkers now the choice of headgear and he's an interesting contender on his handicap debut. Went close over C&D last week and firmly in calculations in his first nursery.
2	10 2nd (10) (10/1 +17%) Call Glory		10 10/1(+17%)																															(10) Call Glory 10/1, Confirmed previous encouragement when winning seller at Goodwood (5f) in June and, on first start since leaving Jack Channon, ran about as well as could be expected when mid-field in the Super Sprint at Newbury last month. Below-par effort on nursery debut last time, though. Stretched by 6f at Goodwood on his nursery debut but he's not obviously well treated.
3	1 3rd (1) (1.5/1 +50%) Equity Law		1.5 1.5/1(+50%)																															(1) Equity Law 1.5/1, Has made a promising start, getting off the mark at the second attempt at Salisbury (6f) in June. Unable to land the odds when fourth at Chester (6.1f) last time, but again impressed with how he went through the race. Can resume winning ways dropped in trip on handicap debut. Form of Salisbury novice win has worked out well; reportedly unsuited by soft ground since.
4	8 4th (8) (14/1 +22%) Notta Nother		14 14/1(+22%)																															(8) Notta Nother 14/1, Continued his progress when opening his account in a Goodwood maiden (5f) in June, leading dying strides. Well below form on nursery debut at Haydock next time, but soon back on track when fourth at Windsor (6f) on his latest outing. More needed returned to this shorter distance. Goodwood maiden winner but unplaced in both nurseries and needs to raise his game.
5th	2 5th (2) (28/1 -133%) Kinnigoli Kid		28 28/1(-133%)																															(2) Kinnigoli Kid 28/1, Expensive breeze-up purchase and knew what was required when making a winning debut at Windsor (6f) in June. However, went backwards from that effort when well held in listed race at Newbury last month. Bounce back called for as he goes handicapping. Beaten a long way in Listed race last time but won on debut previously; not written off.
6th	3 6th (3) (9/1 -20%) Cotai Vision		9 9/1(-20%)																															(3) Cotai Vision 9/1, Confirmed debut promise at the second attempt (struggled in Queen Mary at Royal Ascot previously) when all-the-way winner of Bath maiden (5.7f) in July. May do better still, so she's one to consider as she makes her first start in a nursery. Easily made all in Bath maiden last month and she has potential off her opening mark.
7th	6 7th (6) (6.5/1 -30%) Indication Spirit		6.5 6.5/1(-30%)																															(6) Indication Spirit 6.5/1, Has progressed with each of her 4 starts so far, completing the hat-trick in straightforward fashion in nursery at Leicester (5f) 18 days ago. Upped in grade but she has to be respected as she bids for another victory. 2-2 in nurseries; up in grade here but did it cosily latest; could have more left in tank.
8th	4 8th (4) (28/1 -40%) Macanudo		28 28/1(-40%)																															(4) Macanudo 28/1, Ran to a fair level first 4 starts, faring best of the pace-forcers when again finishing runner-up at Chelmsford (6f) on his final outing in July. However, he raced too freely in first-time blinkers when well held in nursery at Goodwood 17 days ago. Improvement required back down to 5f. Well beaten over 7f on soft on nursery debut but not written off now back down in trip.
9th	11 9th (11) (6.5/1 +64%) Crooked Crown		6.5 6.5/1(+64%)																															(11) Crooked Crown 6.5/1, Left her debut form behind when runner-up in maiden at Haydock (6f) and barely had to improve when going one better in similar event at Chepstow (5f) in June. Only mid-field at Newbury both starts since, though was drawn on the wrong side in Super Sprint last time. Chepstow maiden winner; trainer has won last two runnings (with horses drawn in stall 3).
10th	9 10th (9) (12/1 +0%) I'm So Dizzy		12 12/1(+0%)																															(9) I'm So Dizzy 12/1, Went the right way with each of her first 3 starts, seeming suited by a good test at 5f when getting the off the mark at Nottingham in July. However, unable to find any further improvement when fifth in nursery at Yarmouth last time, so will need to get back on the up. Won Nottingham novice last month but only fifth in Yarmouth nursery since.

INDICATION SPIRIT arrives here seeking a four-timer after wins at Musselburgh and, most recently, Leicester, and she can continue her winning sequence today. Karl Burke's charge won more cosily than the one-length winning distance would suggest last time and a 4lb rise in the ratings doesn't appear likely to halt her progression. Equity Law is feared most on this quicker ground and the drop in trip can also suit. He is making his handicap bow today, while Cotai Vision should also be thereabouts.

EQUITY LAW has made a bright start to his career, getting off the mark at the second attempt before shaping better than the result at Chester last time, again impressing with how he travelled through the race. He can resume winning ways with the drop back in trip to suit, though Indication Spirit isn't taken lightly as she bids for the 4-timer. Two Tribes also merits consideration.

Having gone close when dropped back in trip over C&D ten days ago, TWO TRIBES is taken to go one better on this nursery debut.

Makes hurdles debut and of obvious interest for top yard. Won her bumper over 2m4f at Wexford, not by far but with a bit in hand at odds of 4-6.
2	3 2nd (3) (1.88/1 -25%) Hashtag Pretender		1.88 1.88/1(-25%)																															(3) Hashtag Pretender 1.88/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 4/6, third of 14 in novice hurdle at Roscommon (15.3f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Big player. Long absences a feature in his profile but he returned with a pleasing third at Roscommon.

Eighth of 16 in maiden at Galway (12.2f, good to soft, 100/1) 18 days ago. Positives to take from her Flat maidens and should make a hurdler.

Booking of O'Keeffe a plus. Poor in points and going the same way under rules.
5th	4 5th (4) (9/1 +82%) Scottish Dancer		9 9/1(+82%)																															(4) Scottish Dancer 9/1, Fairly useful Flat winner. Won 5-runner handicap (6/5) at Catterick (13.9f, good to firm) 79 days ago, digging deep. Needs a close look on yard/hurdles debut. Progressive stayer on the Flat in Britain and bought for 39,000gns.

FRIENDS got the job done as odds of 4/6 suggested she would in a Wexford bumper on her racecourse introduction and Willie Mullins quickly turns her attentions to hurdles. Her pedigree suggests she will excel over obstacles and there is expected to be plenty of confidence behind her. Albert Camus made a really promising return from the sidelines when runner-up at Kilbeggan and can only improve. Hashtag Pretender was turned over at odds-on at Roscommon but there are races in him in this discipline.

Winner of a Wexford bumper on debut last month, FRIENDS looks a decent prospect for the all-conquering Willie Mullins yard and she is taken to maintain her unbeaten record by making a successful start in this sphere. Hashtag Pretender and Albert Camus are feared most in that order of preference, while dual Flat winner Scottish Dancer is also of interest on his hurdles debut.

John McConnell's ALBERT CAMUS ran as well as could have been expected behind a talented favourite last week.

1	3 1st (3) (1.75/1 +30%) Yorkindness		1.75 1.75/1(+30%)																															(3) Yorkindness 1.75/1, Free-going type but it hasn't blunted her finish on this stiff track, landing her second C&D win of the summer 11 days ago. Another bold show likely. Made it 2-2 here 11 days ago and has been raised only 3lb.
2	6 2nd (6) (1.38/1 +39%) Miss Cynthia		1.38 1.38/1(+39%)																															(6) Miss Cynthia 1.38/1, Has improved when runner-up in 1¾m handicaps at Yarmouth and Sandown (both good ground) in recent months. Another good effort when fourth in the mud at Haydock (2m) 14 days ago. This stiffer stamina test promises to suit. Remains a maiden (0-8) but knocking on the door this year in handicaps from 1m4f to 2m.
3	8 3rd (8) (4/1 -33%) Easter Icon		4 4/1(-33%)																															(8) Easter Icon 4/1, Two wins from 6 runs this year. Career best when winning 8-runner handicap (5/1) at Catterick (2m, good) 12 days ago, suited by way race developed. Should remain competitive after a 3 lb rise. It was a Class 6 handicap in which he won his first race on turf at Catterick; more needed.
4	5 4th (5) (25/1 +24%) Myboymax		25 25/1(+24%)																															(5) Myboymax 25/1, Won at Wolverhampton in December but has struggled since and recent efforts make him hard to fancy despite sliding mark. Won three times last year from 1m4f to 1m6f but 2023 isn't going so well.
5th	7 5th (7) (12/1 +52%) Desert Quest		12 12/1(+52%)																															(7) Desert Quest 12/1, Dual winner last summer.

Four wins but below par the last twice and having first run over this far.
6th	4 6th (4) (20/1 -300%) At The Double		20 20/1(-300%)																															(4) At The Double 20/1, Won 3 times for Sir Mark Prescott last season temperament has got the better of him since, going in snatches and always behind at York last month. A change of yard needs to have put him in a better mood. Three wins for former yard but two complete no-shows from three starts this season.
7th	9 7th (9) (200/1 -203%) Scottsdale		200 200/1(-203%)																															(9) Scottsdale 200/1, Down the field in 2 Flat starts last summer and fared no better over jumps later in the year. Been off 9 months. Can only be watched. Best known for his jumping exploits but was out of form over fences when last seen.

A winner on both starts over C&D this season, including last time out, YORKINDNESS could be tough to beat off a mark that is still lower than her career high. Easter Icon arrives on the back of a 2m victory at Catterick 14 days ago and a 3lb rise for the success is unlikely to prevent him making a bold double bid today, while Miss Cynthia has been threatening to score of late and should be thereabouts again.

TWO AULD PALS has been in cracking form since the start of the summer and could still be a step ahead of the handicapper. Yorkindness is second choice as she goes in search of a third C&D win of the summer. Miss Cynthia looks best of the remainder.

Yorkindness rates a very solid contender but MISS CYNTHIA saw out the 2m well at Haydock and goes further this time.

1	3 1st (3) (3.5/1 +13%) Layfayette		3.5 3.5/1(+13%)																															(3) Layfayette 3.5/1, Smart gelding. C&D winner. Eight wins from 31 Flat runs. Bit below form 7 lengths fourth of 8 to Vauban in Ballyroan Stakes at Naas (11.9f, soft, 10/1) 13 days ago. Solid claims if back to his best.

Career best when winning 14-runner listed race at this C&D (good, 6/1) 7 days ago by 1¾ lengths from Azazat, having run of race. Going the right way and seems likely to feature. Relished the trip last week; possible soft ground should not be an issue; leading chance.
3	2 3rd (2) (22/1 -83%) Helvic Dream		22 22/1(-83%)																															(2) Helvic Dream 22/1, C&D winner. Fourth of 5 in minor event at Gowran (9.5f, soft, 5/2) 22 days ago. Likely to come on for that run, but hasn't been at his best for some time. Well below his best in two runs this season including a very winnable contest at Gowran.
4	4 4th (4) (2.25/1 +0%) Knight To King		2.25 2.25/1(+0%)																															(4) Knight To King 2.25/1, Useful colt. Winning start before running with credit when 4½ lengths fourth of 5 to Horizon Dore in Prix Eugene Adam at Saint-Cloud (9.9f, good to firm, 64/10) 43 days ago. Remains with potential and boasts reasonable claims back down in grade. Decent run in France; still unexposed and could be capable of going close at this level.
5th	5 5th (5) (6/1 +57%) Pivotal Trigger		6 6/1(+57%)																															(5) Pivotal Trigger 6/1, Useful colt. Latest win at Roscommon in June. 22/1, 8¼ lengths sixth of 8 to Vauban in Ballyroan Stakes at Naas (11.9f, soft) 13 days ago. Not disgraced in the German Derby but well beaten at Naas since; others look more likely.
6th	6 6th (6) (16/1 -14%) Young Ireland		16 16/1(-14%)																															(6) Young Ireland 16/1, Useful colt. Winner at Cork in May. 18 lengths eighth of 9 to Emily Dickinson in Curragh Cup (16/1) at this course (14f, soft) 29 days ago. Back down in trip. Won his maiden on testing ground and second in a Roscommon Listed since; well exposed.

There was plenty to like about UNLESS' Listed success here last week, with the beautifully-bred daughter of Justify taking the step up to this distance in her stride. Aidan O'Brien even mentioned the Yorkshire Oaks in his post-race assessment and victory in this Group 3 could be used as a springboard towards a potential Group 1 assault later in the season. Layfayette sets the standard on ratings and must enter calculations, while others to note include Goldana and Knight To King.

UNLESS stepped up her form when landing a listed race over C&D a week ago and, if she gets another easy lead she will prove tough to pass. Layfayette has the best form and warrants strong consideration despite a lesser effort last time, while Knight To Knight looks open to further progress after just two runs.

Preference is for UNLESS who relished the step up in trip in a Listed last week and will be a tough nut to get past

Latest win at Doncaster in July. 4/1, bit below form fourth of 12 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) 16 days ago, not looking keen. Had looked progressive prior to that and he's worth another chance. Completed a hat-trick on turf this summer before held at Newmarket; can't be dismissed.
2	3 2nd (3) (3.33/1 +58%) Yeoman		3.33 3.33/1(+58%)																															(3) Yeoman 3.33/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win at Wolverhampton in June. 6/1, bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 12 days ago. Two wins at Wolverhampton this year and may just be best on Tapeta; shortlisted.
3	1 3rd (1) (12/1 -33%) Ibiza Love		12 12/1(-33%)																															(1) Ibiza Love 12/1, 7/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good) 22 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Should give another good account. Closely related to a few AW winners so could improve for the new surface.
4	10 4th (10) (3.33/1 -33%) Powerful Response		3.33 3.33/1(-33%)																															(10) Powerful Response 3.33/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win at Hamilton in July. 9/2, good second of 11 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, soft) 29 days ago, idling. In top form and makes plenty of appeal. In fine form lately with two wins and a close second; ought to go close once again.
5th	11 5th (11) (7.5/1 +63%) Onemorenomore		7.5 7.5/1(+63%)																															(11) Onemorenomore 7.5/1, Bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap (16/1) at Newmarket (8f, good) 22 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Needs to bounce back. Form of Brighton second in June not worked out; needs a step up.
6th	13 6th (13) (12/1 +40%) Eagle Prince		12 12/1(+40%)																															(13) Eagle Prince 12/1, Winner at Newcastle in April. Last of 6 in handicap (10/1) at Nottingham (8.3f, good to soft) 10 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Visor back on. Hard to make a strong case for. 1lb lower than when making a successful return at Newcastle in May; interesting.
7th	9 7th (9) (10/1 +29%) Tamaluk		10 10/1(+29%)																															(9) Tamaluk 10/1, First run since leaving Owen Burrows when below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, good to soft, 11/1) 20 days ago. Likely to react well to first-time blinkers, so could get involved. 0-7; second at Leicester in May but twice well held since; blinkers on.
8th	4 8th (4) (12/1 +45%) Eagle Day		12 12/1(+45%)																															(4) Eagle Day 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 11/1, bit below form fourth of 8 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 79 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Kevin Ryan. Something to find on form. Has run well here before; makes stable debut after 79 days off.
9th	7 9th (7) (50/1 -400%) Habooba		50 50/1(-400%)																															(7) Habooba 50/1, 25/1 and hooded for 1st time, tailed-off last of 7 to Mimi Kakushi in UAE Oaks at Meydan (9.4f). Off 6 months. First run for yard after leaving A. Bin Harmash. Makes handicap debut. Difficult ask. Four starts on UAE last winter; market may guide on stable debut.
10th	5 10th (5) (8/1 -33%) Silk Bird		8 8/1(-33%)																															(5) Silk Bird 8/1, 12/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Pontefract (8f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Off the mark at Pontefract last time and each-way claims if the headgear continues to work.
11th	2 11th (2) (18/1 +18%) Mr Squires		18 18/1(+18%)																															(2) Mr Squires 18/1, Course winner. 22/1, eleventh of 16 in handicap at York (7f, good) 22 days ago. Others make more appeal. Won a 7f novice here late last year, but shown little since returning.
12th	12 12th (12) (50/1 +0%) Finn Russell		50 50/1(+0%)																															(12) Finn Russell 50/1, Seventh of 11 in handicap at Bath (8f, good, 25/1) 11 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Not easy to make a case for. Beaten upwards of 10l in four starts since returning for this yard; best watched.

POWERFUL RESPONSE is unlucky not to be arriving on the back of a hat-trick, having thrown his race away when wandering around late on and being beaten a neck at Doncaster. Compensation may await, though, and he is narrowly preferred to Pontefract winner Silk Bird and Panning For Gold, who wasn't disgraced at Newmarket when failing in his bid for a four-timer. Ibiza Love, Tamaluk and Yeoman are others to note.

PANNING FOR GOLD wasn't on his game at Newmarket last time but he'd been improving fast in the lead up to that, so he's fancied to get back to winning ways. Silk Bird is a big danger and Powerful Response is unlikely to be far away.

1	4 1st (4) (8/1 +68%) Good Earth		8 8/1(+68%)																															(4) Good Earth 8/1, Bagged second win of 2023 in 7-runner handicap at Newmarket (5f, good to soft) last month, but not in the same form at Yarmouth and Goodwood since. Possibly drawn wider than ideal here. Another career best when successful at Newmarket in July; ran in Stewards' Cup latest.
2	9 2nd (9) (2.25/1 +44%) Lil Guff		2.25 2.25/1(+44%)																															(9) Lil Guff 2.25/1, Likeable filly who won over C&D at the start of the summer. Showed she's still in good form when second of 13 at Windsor (5f, good to firm) on Thursday. Handily drawn. Should go well under Murphy. Back to near her best at Windsor last time and holds a definite chance.
3	10 3rd (10) (22/1 -83%) Spring Bloom		22 22/1(-83%)																															(10) Spring Bloom 22/1, Resumed winning ways at Newmarket (5f, good) in May. Well below on next 2 outings but bounced back to form when close fourth of 9 at Newmarket (6f) 3 weeks ago. Remains to be seen whether he backs it up. Back to something like his best under a positive ride at Newmarket 22 days ago.
4	3 4th (3) (12/1 -118%) Get It		12 12/1(-118%)																															(3) Get It 12/1, Won pair of handicaps for Clive Cox last year. Easily best effort for current yard when second of 8 in a refitted hood (retained) at Chepstow (5f, good) 10 days ago. Claims off an unchanged mark if a wide draw isn't an inconvenience. Likes it quick so ran surprisingly well on good to soft at Chepstow latest.
5th	2 5th (2) (12/1 +25%) Arecibo		12 12/1(+25%)																															(2) Arecibo 12/1, Twenty two runs since last win in 2021. Below par at Ascot the last twice but his best recent effort did come over this C&D and he has the rail draw. Could revive. Has Group 1 form if going back far enough and he was beaten only a length here in July.
6th	13 6th (13) (7/1 -8%) Be Proud		7 7/1(-8%)																															(13) Be Proud 7/1, Right back in top form lately, scoring twice at Doncaster in July and going down only to a progressive 3-y-o on his hat-trick bid at Haydock (6f, heavy) 14 days ago. Should give another good account. Won this two years ago and another bold show seems assured in his current form.
7th	11 7th (11) (8.5/1 +47%) Call Me Ginger		8.5 8.5/1(+47%)																															(11) Call Me Ginger 8.5/1, Scored 3 times last year, notably the Portland at Doncaster. Yet to go close this term but he had been shaping as if coming to hand until finishing down the field at Windsor on Thursday. Beaten in the region of 4l in his last four starts and needs to raise his game.
8th	8 8th (8) (18/1 -13%) Royal Parade		18 18/1(-13%)																															(8) Royal Parade 18/1, Resumed winning ways in emphatic style at Goodwood under Billy Loughnane in June. Hasn't reproduced that in his 2 outings since but had heavy ground as an excuse back at Goodwood last time. No surprise if he revives. Soft ground perhaps a factor for modest effort last time and this is his first run over 5f.
9th	1 9th (1) (50/1 -178%) Dusky Lord		50 50/1(-178%)																															(1) Dusky Lord 50/1, Proved a revelation with cheekpieces refitted when landing the Ayr Silver Cup (6f, good) last September (final start for Roger Varian). Tongue tied first time, shaped as if needing the run when eleventh of 14 on his 5f Ascot reappearance 22 days ago. Needs to have come on a lot for the outing. Never counted on stable debut at Ascot but he's a lot better than that.
10th	12 10th (12) (18/1 -13%) Dare To Hope		18 18/1(-13%)																															(12) Dare To Hope 18/1, Bordering on useful as a 2-y-o but off 11 months prior to finishing a below-par sixth of 9 on his Haydock reappearance a fortnight ago. Could strip fitter now but he's a hard one to be confident about. Capable of better than on his heavy-ground return; on a competitive mark.
11th	7 11th (7) (8/1 +11%) Swayze		8 8/1(+11%)																															(7) Swayze 8/1, Has hit the target twice already this year, latterly over 5f at Haydock in May. Mixed record since but he has edged back to a workable mark if staging a revival. Good winner at Haydock in May but beneath that level since.
12th	14 12th (14) (18/1 -13%) Mokaatil		18 18/1(-13%)																															(14) Mokaatil 18/1, Won this race off a 6 lb higher mark 12 months ago. Hard to get too excited by his recent efforts but he's too well handicapped to dismiss back here. Has a tongue tie refitted for the first time this year. Has not been at his best of late but he won this 12 months ago off 6lb higher.
13th	15 13th (15) (80/1 -186%) Trusty Rusty		80 80/1(-186%)																															(15) Trusty Rusty 80/1, In good nick on AW over the winter but weakened to finish well held on his return to action at Ffos Las 3 weeks ago. Should strip fitter but leap of faith required. In form on AW over the winter and reportedly unsuited by the testing ground at Ffos Las.
14th	5 14th (5) (11/1 -10%) Ancient Times		11 11/1(-10%)																															(5) Ancient Times 11/1, Dual 5f winner early last season. Best effort this term when a close third at Chster (5f, good) in June and probably found the run coming too soon when only a respectable fourth at Doncaster 24 hours later. Freshened up since. Capable off his mark. Having a solid season and ran well on successive days in June when last seen.

LTO Selection:

A chance is taken on LIL GUFF in what appears to be a difficult puzzle to solve. Daniel and Claire Kubler's charge was narrowly just touched off over 5f at Windsor on Thursday and a repeat of that effort should see her go close off the same mark today. Get It should also be taken seriously after returning to form when beaten just a half length over 5f at Chepstow last week, while the seven-year-old Be Proud shouldn't be ruled out either.

If LIL GUFF doesn't find this coming too soon after her fine second at Windsor on Thursday she could be good for a second C&D win of the summer. The thriving Be Proud rates an obvious threat, while Ancient Times has been freshened up since 2 runs in quick succession in June and is more than capable off his current mark.

The 2021 winner BE PROUD has got himself back in the good books after three excellent efforts.

9	9 (9) (8/1 +20%) Neev's Dream		8 8/1(+20%)																															(9) Neev's Dream 8/1, 11/2, bit below form sixth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Can make presence felt if on-song. Bit keen early latest before fading late on, previous fourth well worth closer inspection.
1	5 1st (5) (6/1 +29%) Boskill Borden		6 6/1(+29%)																															(5) Boskill Borden 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden under Rules. 11/1, below form sixth of 14 in novice hurdle at this course (21.6f, good) 78 days ago. Back down in trip for this handicap debut and likely to improve. Maiden form not much to write home about, plenty to prove here on handicap debut.
2	15 2nd (15) (7/1 +36%) Morricone		7 7/1(+36%)																															(15) Morricone 7/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 14 in handicap hurdle (18/1) at Kilbeggan (18f, soft) 30 days ago. Poor in four starts last year, showed no signs of more to come on his reappearance.
3	13 3rd (13) (3.33/1 +17%) Globetrottersivola		3.33 3.33/1(+17%)																															(13) Globetrottersivola 3.33/1, Won 13-runner handicap hurdle (5/1) at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Stepping back in the right direction. Comes here on the back of a Kilbeggan win and likely to make a bold bid to defy 4lb rise.
4	10 4th (10) (9/1 +50%) Surviving Murmansk		9 9/1(+50%)																															(10) Surviving Murmansk 9/1, Fair maiden on the Flat. Switches from Flat to hurdles on first run for yard after leaving Mrs A. M. O'Shea. Poor on latest start in this sphere and now makes handicap hurdle debut. Has not produced a great deal yet under both codes, fair bit to prove here on stable debut.
5th	6 5th (6) (22/1 -22%) Port Rashid		22 22/1(-22%)																															(6) Port Rashid 22/1, 14/1, ninth of 13 in handicap hurdle at this course (20.3f, soft) 126 days ago. Back down in trip and tongue strap back on. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Won a chase around here and tends to go well on the back of a break, sporting chance.
6th	3 6th (3) (2.25/1 +32%) Maggie Walsh		2.25 2.25/1(+32%)																															(3) Maggie Walsh 2.25/1, Course winner. Latest win in hurdle here in June. Good second of 16 in handicap hurdle (11/2) at Kilbeggan (18f, soft) 30 days ago. Needs considering. Course winner hit the crossbar at Kilbeggan latest, up 2lb but a bit more left in the tank.
7th	12 7th (12) (16/1 +27%) Mosaaheb		16 16/1(+27%)																															(12) Mosaaheb 16/1, Tenth of 14 in handicap hurdle (14/1) at Sligo (19.9f, good) 42 days ago, going in snatches. Booking of Fenelon a plus. Clonmel sixth not devoid of promise but the wheels seem to have come off in the interim.
8th	2 8th (2) (5.5/1 +54%) Cruisin Susan		5.5 5.5/1(+54%)																															(2) Cruisin Susan 5.5/1, Course winner. 14/1, respectable fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (24f, soft) 9 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Ran well at Wexford but stamina gave way; back in trip and returns to scene of maiden win.
9th	1 9th (1) (20/1 -122%) Mick Charlie		20 20/1(-122%)																															(1) Mick Charlie 20/1, 14/1, pulled up in handicap chase at Roscommon (24.8f, soft) 12 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Significantly down in trip and tongue strap on for 1st time. Jumping fell apart in a chase at Roscommon on return from a long layoff (756-days).

MAGGIE WALSH won over C&D in June and could repeat the feat. Crucially, she handles plenty of cut in the ground and comes here on the back of a runner-up berth on soft ground at Kilbeggan last month. Cian Quirke is good value for his 5lb claim. Philip Rothwell is firing in plenty of winners this season and saddles Globetrottersivola, who obliged by half a length in Kilbeggan last weekend. He is only up 4lb for that success, so should be a big player. Redwood Queen disappointed at Roscommon in June, but has had a break since then and looks one of the more likely contenders.

Preference is for REDWOOD QUEEN, who was beaten a fair way at Roscommon but she is well worth another chance on the strength of her encouraging debut for this yard when returning from a 7-month absence at Punchestown in May. Globetrottersivola opened his account at Kilbeggan recently and is next on the list, while handicap debutant Boskill Borden is also shortlisted, along with Maggie Walsh.

A winner at Kilbeggan, GLOBETROTTERSIVOLA (nap) has only a 4lb hike to defy and can keep the course winner Maggie Walsh at bay

1	2 1st (2) (7/1 +42%) Citizen General		7 7/1(+42%)																															(2) Citizen General 7/1, Latest win at Lingfield in May. Fifth of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (13.1f, soft, 15/2) 15 days ago. Usually gives his running, so capable of bouncing back in first-time blinkers. Last won on AW in May; below par recently and first-time blinkers need to spark a revival..
2	6 2nd (6) (3.5/1 +42%) Roaring Legend		3.5 3.5/1(+42%)																															(6) Roaring Legend 3.5/1, Winner at Salisbury in June. 15/2, eighth of 12 in handicap at Goodwood (11.2f, soft) 16 days ago, finding little having travelled well. Too soon to write off. Ran well much of the way before being beaten 11l at Goodwood latest; remains of interest..
3	1 3rd (1) (2.25/1 +44%) Wor Willie		2.25 2.25/1(+44%)																															(1) Wor Willie 2.25/1, C&D winner. Creditable third of 6 in handicap (9/2) at York (13.8f, good to firm) 65 days ago. Likely to be on the premises if tuned up after a break. Improved on his reappearance when a 3l third at York latest; big player..
4	4 4th (4) (4.5/1 -13%) Clan Chieftain		4.5 4.5/1(-13%)																															(4) Clan Chieftain 4.5/1, Winner at Chepstow in June. Bit disappointing since but he's back on a sounder surface now and takes on his elder for the first time, so might be worth taking a chance on. Returned from wind surgery to beat just one home on soft (1m4f) latest; bit to prove..
5th	7 5th (7) (5/1 +23%) Alumnus		5 5/1(+23%)																															(7) Alumnus 5/1, Winner at Newcastle in June. Creditable fifth of 9 in handicap (7/2) at Brighton (11.9f, good) 10 days ago. Not the most straightforward and others look better treated. Perhaps didn't handle Brighton latest and this AW winner is not ruled out..
6th	3 6th (3) (8.5/1 -113%) Ace Rothstein		8.5 8.5/1(-113%)																															(3) Ace Rothstein 8.5/1, Course winner. 20/1, good third of 10 in handicap at Sandown (14f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Heading back in the right direction recently and he's on an appealing mark. In better form at Sandown latest and not ruled out each-way now dropping again in trip..

ROARING LEGEND is much better than what he showed at Goodwood last time out and his consistent form prior to that proves as much. The son of Roaring Lion should have conditions in his favour as he looks to bounce back to winning ways, with the capable Ace Rothstein looking a key threat. Last year's winner Wor Willie must enter calculations as well following a promising third at York.

Having created a good impression when off the mark at Chepstow, CLAN CHIEFTAIN hasn't fired on his last two starts, but he drops in grade and returns to a sound surface, so it's worth taking the chance that he can bounce back. Fellow 3yo Roaring Legend is also of interest and course-specialist Carrigillihy can't be ignored.

Last year's winner WOR WILLIE was back in better form last time and is taken to earn a repeat success from 1lb higher.

Can make his presence felt at pattern level. Duke of Edinburgh Stakes winner; yielding is worst ground he has faced; ran poorly on it.

Some of the gloss has been lost with the withdrawal of last year's St Leger hero Eldar Eldarov, and with Library scheduled to appear in Friday's Give Thanks Stakes at Cork, only SHAMIDA stops this from potentially being a Joseph O'Brien benefit. Dermot Weld's upwardly-mobile filly took a big step forward from her maiden success when battling to glory in the Stanerra Stakes at Leopardstown and she looks a stayer going places. Okita Soushi landed the Duke Of Edinburgh at Royal Ascot, although he was behind his stablemates Point King and subsequent Queen Alexandra scorer Dawn Rising when they took minor honours in the Saval Beg.

Last year's St Leger hero ELDAR ELDAROV might be suited by the return to a slightly shorter trip and is a potential class act here. Okita Soushi produced a really smart handicap performance to take the Duke of Edinburgh at Royal Ascot and looks up to making his mark outside of handicaps so he's taken to give Roger Varian's charge most to do.

DAWN RISING won't mind how much rain arrives and is a very strong stayer over this trip so he gets the vote

A well-bred daughter of Too Darn Hot, ZENJABEELA shaped with plenty of encouragement when third on debut at Newmarket, and with improvement expected, she can get off the mark. That may be at the main expense of Deep Blue, who herself shaped quiet well on her first outing at Leicester earlier in the month. Madame Christine and newcomer Lumiere D'or must be noted for market support also.

ZENJABEELA produced a promising first effort when third in a Newmarket maiden 5 weeks ago and this looks a good opening for her. Deep Blue shaped like this extra 1f will suit when third at Leicester so is the obvious threat, while Lumiere d'Or is a newcomer to note having proved popular at the Breeze Ups.

REACHING HIGH is a beautifully-bred colt and he is fancied to get off the mark at the first time of asking. This son of Sea The Stars - out of Estimate - is a half-brother to Calculation, who won five times in his career, and Sir Michael Stoute's newcomers always command the utmost respect. Royal Supremacy catches the eye for the powerful combination of Andrew Balding and Oisin Murphy, while Rascal Recknell can also get involved.

The market should prove to be informative in a maiden for newcomers, though SKELLET is evidently well thought of given her Rockfel entry. Endosser proved popular at the Breeze Ups so looks a likely type, while Sea The Stars colt Reaching High is one to note being out of Gold Cup winner Estimate.

260,000euros breeze-up buy ENDOSSER earns the vote ahead of the sole filly Skellet, who has an attractive pedigree.

10	10 (10) (14/1 +0%) O'faolains Glory		14 14/1(+0%)																															(10) O'faolains Glory 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable sixth of 12 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (soft, 33/1) 2 days ago. Never going the pace on her handicap debut, glimmer of hope on improved run here friday.
1	14 1st (14) (4/1 +33%) Prince Of Air		4 4/1(+33%)																															(14) Prince Of Air 4/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable sixth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.6f, good, 8/1) 6 days ago.

6th	6 6th (6) (12/1 +40%) I Am The Sea		12 12/1(+40%)																															(6) I Am The Sea 12/1, Fair maiden on the Flat. Thrice-raced maiden in this sphere. Eighth of 18 in novice hurdle at Cork (16.9f, good to soft, 125/1) 37 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut and open to progress. Handicap debutant sent to post a big price all three starts so far over hurdles.

8th	15 8th (15) (16/1 +20%) Self Assessed		16 16/1(+20%)																															(15) Self Assessed 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 16/1, first run since leaving Gearoid Patrick Brouder when well-beaten last of 13 to Gwan Tadhg in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (17.3f, good) 7 days ago. Poor all five starts so far over hurdles, difficult to see him staking a major claim.

Switches from Flat to hurdles. Blinkers on for 1st time in this code. Pulled up on last hurdle run. Tuned up on the flat here on Thursday but found life difficult, hurdle form also poor.

BARBAHA QUEEN is an each-way play in a weak race. John Ryan's mare ran better than the result suggested on her comeback when seventh at Kilbeggan last week. She was collared before the last and understandably weakened on the run-in after an absence of almost nine months. Just three runs back, she was third in a higher grade on testing ground at Clonmel. Gwan Tadhg is sure to be popular after winning in this grade at Downpatrick last Sunday. He certainly has prospects off 7lb higher, especially as he remains in the same grade, but he did relish better ground in the north and this ground is likely to be much slower after the deluge in Tramore on Friday.There could be more to come from I Am The Sea and he is worth a second look.

GWAN TADHG has gone up 7 lb for his breakthrough success at Downpatrick last weekend but he may well prove equal to the task if able to build on that performance. Leroy Leroy is second choice on the back of a decent effort at Kilbeggan and Barbaha Queen may also have a part to play if, as expected, she comes on for her recent reappearance spin at the same course. I Am The Sea is a potential improver now pitched into a handicap in this sphere and he also enters calculations.

Gwan Tadhg sets the standard, but BE MY HERO could well be up to the challenge after running a sound enough race at Sligo lately.

C&D winner; didn't get clear run latest; could do better and looks a likely contender..

LTO Selection:

A return to this track could work the oracle for SIR MAXI, having won comfortably over C&D from the reopposing El Montejean (second) last month. He is preferred to the likes of determined Nottingham scorer Enderman, and Captain Vallo, who has been knocking on the door of late. The well-handicapped Jill Rose and Rambuso Creek have the form to get involved also.

Preference is for EL MONTEJEAN, who was having his first crack at sprinting when a good second here last month and remains feasibly treated. Captain Vallo and Sir Maxi head the list of dangers.

The suggestion is CAESARS PEARL, who had excuses on her last two starts and may be capable of better back at this track.

TEDDY BOY has proven to be consistent over this trip and, having shown tenacity to swing the result his way in an apprentice handicap at Naas 13 days ago, he rates as a live contender with James Ryan retaining the ride. There are dangers aplenty, though, with the shortlisted headed by Nordic Passage, who went close at Chepstow last week, Tiktok Time and three-time course winner Pretty Boy Floyd.

C&D winner NORDIC PASSAGE only narrowly failed to get back on the scoreboard at Chepstow earlier this month and remains nicely treated on old form. He gets the nod. Teddy Boy and Redshore City head the list of dangers.

It could pay to take a chance on the still unexposed 3yo TIKTOK TIME, who made up lots of late ground here last weekend

1	6 1st (6) (14/1 +22%) Rodborough		14 14/1(+22%)																															(6) Rodborough 14/1, Eleventh of 14 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to firm, 28/1) 9 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time. Not easy to make a case for. Excuses for last two runs (on turf); mixed efforts on the AW; headgear tried; bit to prove.
2	1 2nd (1) (4.5/1 +63%) Dalby Forest		4.5 4.5/1(+63%)																															(1) Dalby Forest 4.5/1, Winner at Chelmsford in February. 10/1, last of 6 in handicap at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) 4 days ago. May fare better back on AW. Only win in 17 was at Chelmsford in Feb; below par on turf the last twice; better expected.
3	3 3rd (3) (2.5/1 +55%) Mehmo		2.5 2.5/1(+55%)																															(3) Mehmo 2.5/1, Two C&D wins in January and added to tally at Beverley (5f) last month. 15/2, respectable third of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Considered. Dual C&D winner who was in good form on turf last month; sound chance.
4	12 4th (12) (6.5/1 +19%) Canaria Prince		6.5 6.5/1(+19%)																															(12) Canaria Prince 6.5/1, Fifth of 8 in handicap at Pontefract (5f, good to soft, 9/4) 21 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Dangerously well handicapped and can't be discounted if taking to the new surface. Three wins in 2022, but not in top form this year; hard to know what to expect on AW debut.
5th	5 5th (5) (11/1 -340%) Shesadabber		11 11/1(-340%)																															(5) Shesadabber 11/1, Arrives on a hat-trick after 5f wins at Bath and Catterick this month. Yet to prove herself on tapeta but has a slightly lower AW mark and worth another chance to show she can do it on an artificial surface. New yard this year; dual turf winner last twice; bit to prove on AW but could go well.
6th	10 6th (10) (66/1 -100%) Breath Catcher		66 66/1(-100%)																															(10) Breath Catcher 66/1, Seventh of 9 in handicap (80/1) at Nottingham (5f, good to soft) 5 days ago. 0-12; on a good mark but out of form this year; poor effort only previous AW run.
7th	13 7th (13) (8/1 -14%) Birdie Bowers		8 8/1(-14%)																															(13) Birdie Bowers 8/1, C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022 but has been runner-up in 5f classified events at Musselburgh (to Golden Prospect) and Redcar on her last 2 outings. C&D winner last year and back to form when runner-up on last two starts; not out of it.
8th	8 8th (8) (7/1 +36%) Fantasy Navigator		7 7/1(+36%)																															(8) Fantasy Navigator 7/1, Tongue strap on first time, bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm, 9/1) 11 days ago. The tongue tie remains with a first-time visor added now. 6f AW winner last June; quite interesting on first run at 5f with visor on for first time.
9th	7 9th (7) (28/1 -75%) Brandy Station		28 28/1(-75%)																															(7) Brandy Station 28/1, Four-time C&D winner but off since a below-par run in March. Back on a good mark but might be best watched this time. Four-time C&D winner; mixed form this year; probably best watched after a break.
10th	11 10th (11) (16/1 -78%) Golden Prosperity		16 16/1(-78%)																															(11) Golden Prosperity 16/1, Finally off the mark in 10-runner classified event at Musselburgh (5f, good) 46 days ago by ½ length from Birdie Bowers. Not an obvious one to follow up. Won at 23rd attempt in a turf classified stakes last time; some fair AW form; this tougher.
11th	4 11th (4) (11/1 +56%) Marwari		11 11/1(+56%)																															(4) Marwari 11/1, C&D winner. Last of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (6f, soft, 33/1) 33 days ago. Others more persuasive. All four wins have been on the AW, including C&D; bit to prove after two poor runs.

LTO Selection:

---

SHESADABBER arrives seeking a hat-trick after victories at Bath and Catterick, and this looks like a nice opportunity to continue her winning sequence. David Evans' mare is having her first run on the all-weather since 2021 and is leniently treated compared to her turf figure. Mehmo can also get involved after running on well into third at Thirsk, while Golden Prosperity and Birdie Bowers should also be noted.

SHESADABBER is worth a final opportunity to show she acts on AW as she's able to race off 2lb lower than when scoring at Catterick 12 days ago. Mehmo has a good C&D record and is second choice ahead of Canaria Prince.

In an open race dual C&D winner MEHMO, who has been in good form on turf, is taken to win his fourth race of the year.

1	6 1st (6) (5.5/1 -10%) Graignes		5.5 5.5/1(-10%)																															(6) Graignes 5.5/1, Ran his best race since rejoining current yard when landing 10-runner handicap at Kempton (11f) in June. 8 lb higher mark demands more but he can't be ruled out.
2	2 2nd (2) (12/1 +45%) Wisper		12 12/1(+45%)																															(2) Wisper 12/1, Won on Brighton reappearance (9.9f) in May and back to that sort of form when third of 9 in handicap at Windsor the following month. Disappointed at Ffos Las since, though, and others more appealing.
3	10 3rd (10) (6/1 +40%) Bint Al Daar		6 6/1(+40%)																															(10) Bint Al Daar 6/1, Found improvement when getting off the mark in 12-runner handicap at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Worth another crack at this longer trip but finds herself in a deeper contest now.
4	4 4th (4) (7.5/1 +17%) Silver Gunn		7.5 7.5/1(+17%)																															(4) Silver Gunn 7.5/1, C&D winner who got back on scoreboard when taking 10-runner handicap at Windsor (10f, good to firm, 7/2) 34 days ago, well on top finish. 4 lb rise fair and not taken lightly.
5th	3 5th (3) (5/1 -11%) Auld Toon Loon		5 5/1(-11%)																															(3) Auld Toon Loon 5/1, Improving nicely, successful twice over this sort of trip in recent months and finding further improvement when second of 11 in handicap at Haydock (10.2f, heavy) 14 days ago. Shortlisted.
6th	5 6th (5) (2.25/1 +44%) Derry Lad		2.25 2.25/1(+44%)																															(5) Derry Lad 2.25/1, Better than ever this season, winning Sunday Series events at Hamilton (11.1f) and Pontefract (12f) and losing nothing in defeat when third in Haydock handicap (10.2f, heavy) a fortnight ago. Must enter calculations.
7th	8 7th (8) (33/1 -175%) Trais Fluors		33 33/1(-175%)																															(8) Trais Fluors 33/1, Back to winning ways at Goodwood (9.1f) in June and not disgraced, after a very slow start, when third of 7 in handicap at Haydock (8f, good to firm) a week later. Could be a player if breaking on terms here.
8th	7 8th (7) (10/1 -43%) Junkanoo		10 10/1(-43%)																															(7) Junkanoo 10/1, Proved as least as good as ever when making a winning reappearance at Windsor (10f, heavy) in May, soon clear. 7 lb higher now but may have been aimed at this and won't mind any rain that falls.
9th	9 9th (9) (12/1 -20%) Whitcombe Rockstar		12 12/1(-20%)																															(9) Whitcombe Rockstar 12/1, Suited by strong pace when opening account in 14-runner handicap over C&D (good) 25 days ago. This is tougher but he remains unexposed over this sort of trip.

LTO Selection:

---

JUNKANOO had Graignes (fourth) behind when pulling clear to strike by four lengths over this trip at Windsor when last seen in May and despite being raised 7lb for that impressive display, the six-year-old could prove a tough nut to crack in his follow-up bid. The latter followed that defeat up with a taking effort at Kempton and he could get closer to the selection today. Auld Toon Loon has been in fine form this year and he could be thereabouts off 2lb higher than his recent Haydock second.

Preference is for AULD TOON LOON, who has been in great form over this trip in recent months and remains on a workable mark. Plenty of his rivals arrive in good form, with Derry Lad and Silver Gunn particularly respected.

The 3yo BINT AL DAAR was strong at the finish when winning over 1m at Newmarket recently and is taken to follow up now back up in trip.

1	4 1st (4) (7/1 +0%) Grannys Yaris		7 7/1(+0%)																															(4) Grannys Yaris 7/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time, third of 11 in bumper at Ballinrobe (15.5f, good, 50/1) 26 days ago. Tongue-tie worked wonders when a vastly improved third behind a warm fav' at Ballinrobe.
2	10 2nd (10) (0.44/1 +34%) Nt Field Minnesota		0.44 0.44/1(+34%)																															(10) Nt Field Minnesota 0.44/1, Flemensfirth mare. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Mahler's Promise. Winner of latest start between the flags in April and she's of obvious interest on Rules debut for the Willie Mullins yard. Point winner for Colin Bowe now housed with the champion trainer, lots going for her.
3	8 3rd (8) (18/1 +82%) Late Vocation		18 18/1(+82%)																															(8) Late Vocation 18/1, Twice-raced maiden. Ninth of 16 in novice hurdle (80/1) at Roscommon (20f, good to soft) 41 days ago. Makes bumpers debut. Not disgraced either of her runs over hurdles but failed to show enough to be fancied.
4	9 4th (9) (6.5/1 +46%) Milanaway		6.5 6.5/1(+46%)																															(9) Milanaway 6.5/1, Twice-raced maiden. 12/1, eighth of 15 in bumper at Thurles (16.3f, good to soft) 178 days ago. Ccould be right in the mix if the ground eases enough for her, ignore at your peril.
5th	11 5th (11) (12/1 +14%) Only A Dollar		12 12/1(+14%)																															(11) Only A Dollar 12/1, Once-raced maiden. Hooded, fourth of 17 in novice hurdle at Cork (17f, good to soft, 66/1) on NH debut 13 days ago. Makes bumpers debut. Shaped best of the newcomers from when a strong staying 4th over h'dls on recent debut.
6th	7 6th (7) (14/1 +0%) Lady Danu		14 14/1(+0%)																															(7) Lady Danu 14/1, Frozen Power mare. Dam dual bumper winner, also 13f winner on Flat. Interesting to see what the market has to say. Dam dual bumper/1m5f Flat winner (RPR 80), sister to 1m2f winner Heroism, ticks some boxes.
7th	12 7th (12) (66/1 -32%) The Coach Lady		66 66/1(-32%)																															(12) The Coach Lady 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. 66/1, sixth of 10 in bumper at Wexford (16.7f, heavy) 9 days ago. Ran to a similar level last twice, those runs need to be improved upon, work to do.
8th	13 8th (13) (50/1 +24%) Where's Teddy		50 50/1(+24%)																															(13) Where's Teddy 50/1, Once-raced maiden. Last of 11 in bumper at Thurles (15.5f, good to soft, 50/1) on NH debut. Off 8 months. 50's when off the pace on debut at Thurles, needs to have made giant strdies.
9th	14 9th (14) (100/1 -52%) Ceis Charraigin		100 100/1(-52%)																															(14) Ceis Charraigin 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden under R125ules. 150/1, first run since leaving Ms Margaret Mullins when thirteenth of 14 in bumper at Galway (16.6f, soft) 20 days ago, dropping away quickly. Flashes of ability for former yard but 150's on recent stable debut and ran accordingly.
10th	15 10th (15) (50/1 -25%) Ms Merlot		50 50/1(-25%)																															(15) Ms Merlot 50/1, Westerner filly. Dam unraced. Wears tongue strap. Entitled to come on for the run. Dam unraced half-sister to winners Sir Apollo (3m3f chase) and Spring Steel, tongue-tied.
11th	2 11th (2) (66/1 -100%) Celestrial Diamond		66 66/1(-100%)																															(2) Celestrial Diamond 66/1, Rock of Gibraltar mare. Half-sister to 1m winner Jacobs Well. Dam unraced. Market should point the way. Only a handful of runners since stables last winner, worth a market check.
12th	16 12th (16) (33/1 -65%) Yorkshire Escape		33 33/1(-65%)																															(16) Yorkshire Escape 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden under Rules. Seventh of 10 in bumper (25/1) at Wexford (16.7f, heavy) 9 days ago, not knocked about. RESERVE. Reserve, yet to really set the track alight, needs to step up another couple of gears.

LTO Selection:

NT FIELD MINNESOTA looks another one for Willie Mullins in his current domination of bumpers. This Flemensfirth mare has switched to Mullins for her track career after winning a point-to-point at Dromahane in April for Colin Bowe. Jekiki scoped dirty after a disappointing run at Roscommon in July, so is better assessed on a debut third at Limerick in May. Grannys Yaris ran a cracker for third when 50/1 at Ballinrobe in July and a reproduction of that effort would have her in the mix. Only A Dollar ran creditably in fourth on hurdling debut at Cork and reverts to a bumper. She certainly won't be available at 66/1 again. Indigo Mist and Lady Danu are newcomers to note in the market.

The eyes are immediately drawn to NT FIELD MINNESOTA, who opened her account in points at the fourth attempt when last seen in April and confidence behind her in the betting on this Rules debut would look highly significant. Jekiki was too free last time but may yet build on her encouraging introduction at Limerick and she gets the nod ahead of Grannys Yaris for forecast purposes.

Nt Field Minnesota will attract most of the spotlight but if JEKIKI bounces back from a dirty scope latest, she could well collect

1	9 1st (9) (18/1 -125%) Brewel Hill		18 18/1(-125%)																															(9) Brewel Hill 18/1, First run since leaving J. F. Levins when bit below form seventh of 17 in handicap at Naas (8f, soft, 11/1) 25 days ago. Okay run on yard debut at Naas last month but others still preferred.
2	1 2nd (1) (1.5/1 +40%) Everylittlestep		1.5 1.5/1(+40%)																															(1) Everylittlestep 1.5/1, Completed a hat-trick when pushed out to see off 15 rivals at Gowran (9.4f, good) 4 days ago. Some of her penalty is offset by Conor Stone-Walsh's claim. Taken to make it 4 in a row. Completed hat-trick in ready fashion at Gowran on Wednesday; 7lb penalty but big chance.
3	10 3rd (10) (7/1 -56%) Rampage		7 7/1(-56%)																															(10) Rampage 7/1, Winner at Leopardstown in July. Respectable ninth of 18 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f, good, 5/1) 3 days ago. Leopardstown winner well held off revised mark there on Thursday.
4	2 4th (2) (7/1 -40%) Akmaam		7 7/1(-40%)																															(2) Akmaam 7/1, Latest win at Dundalk in March. Respectable fifth of 13 in handicap at Naas (8f, good to firm, 17/2) 53 days ago, not ideally placed. Generally running well on turf so not one to rule out but others may be better handicapped.
5th	8 5th (8) (40/1 +0%) Giselles Defence		40 40/1(+0%)																															(8) Giselles Defence 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 9 in handicap (22/1) at Galway (8.3f, soft) 14 days ago. Opening two handicap efforts underwhelming; down 6lb but remains opposable.
6th	19 6th (19) (10/1 +70%) Alqabeela		10 10/1(+70%)																															(19) Alqabeela 10/1, Remains a maiden after 21 Flat runs. 11/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f, good) 3 days ago. Safely held of late off basement mark, including at Leopardstown on Thursday; 2lb wrong.
7th	3 7th (3) (40/1 -100%) Arthur's Victory		40 40/1(-100%)																															(3) Arthur's Victory 40/1, Sixth of 7 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, soft, 17/2) 13 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Respectable form this year but others look more likely.
8th	14 8th (14) (66/1 -32%) Medici Pass		66 66/1(-32%)																															(14) Medici Pass 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 10 in maiden (80/1) at Down Royal (10.3f, good to soft) 23 days ago, met some trouble. Back down in trip. Makes handicap debut. Well held in three maidens within 10 days last month; best watched on handicap debut.
9th	20 9th (20) (14/1 +0%) Pallasmore Lass		14 14/1(+0%)																															(20) Pallasmore Lass 14/1, Remains a maiden after 24 Flat runs. 13/2, respectable fifth of 17 in handicap at Naas (8f, soft) 25 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Only beaten a neck at Roscommon last month and respectable runs in defeat since.
5	5 |U| (5) (6.5/1 +19%) Rock Etoile		6.5 6.5/1(+19%)																															(5) Rock Etoile 6.5/1, Latest win at Killarney in May. 9/1, good fourth of 15 in handicap at Gowran (7f, good) 4 days ago. Not taken lightly. Gowran run encouraging; back to optimum trip and likely big player.
10th	17 10th (17) (20/1 +20%) Lady Christa		20 20/1(+20%)																															(17) Lady Christa 20/1, Respectable ninth of 23 in handicap at this course (7f, good, 18/1) 7 days ago. Disappointing since going handicapping, last weekend's run here only mildly encouraging.
11th	11 11th (11) (33/1 +0%) Boadicea Belle		33 33/1(+0%)																															(11) Boadicea Belle 33/1, Blinkered for 1st time, tenth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (8f, 7/1) 5 days ago. Best form since joining yard is on AW; plenty to find.
12th	21 12th (21) (33/1 +34%) Benerville		33 33/1(+34%)																															(21) Benerville 33/1, Visored for 1st time, creditable eighth of 23 in handicap (40/1) at this course (7f, good) 7 days ago. Has something to find. Didn't far badly here last weekend over 7f but may not appreciate this stiffer test.
13th	4 13th (4) (12/1 -20%) Sondheim		12 12/1(-20%)																															(4) Sondheim 12/1, Good third of 17 in handicap (7/1) at Fairyhouse (7f, good) 39 days ago. Merits consideration. Solid form of late though 3lb rise for recent Fairyhouse third doesn't help her cause.
14th	12 14th (12) (80/1 -60%) Eagles Reign		80 80/1(-60%)																															(12) Eagles Reign 80/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, thirteenth of 17 in maiden at Leopardstown (10f, good to soft) 31 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Unexposed maiden entering handicaps so open to improvement, certainly needed.
15th	13 15th (13) (28/1 +44%) Drish Melody		28 28/1(+44%)																															(13) Drish Melody 28/1, 10/1, fourteenth of 16 in handicap at Gowran (8.3f, heavy). Off 10 months. Enters calculations. Long absent and usual blinkers left off; may need this.
16th	18 16th (18) (40/1 +20%) Mass Gathering		40 40/1(+20%)																															(18) Mass Gathering 40/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 25/1, last of 15 in handicap at Roscommon (7.3f, good to soft) 47 days ago. All her wins have come over sprint trips and still to convince over this far.
17th	6 17th (6) (18/1 +10%) Thefullbackline		18 18/1(+10%)																															(6) Thefullbackline 18/1, Fourteenth of 16 in handicap (10/1) at Galway (7f, soft) 15 days ago, badly hampered. Needs a couple of these to falter. Maiden struggling of late and handicapper quite slow to relent; others preferred.
18th	7 18th (7) (33/1 +34%) Gurkha Girl		33 33/1(+34%)																															(7) Gurkha Girl 33/1, 9/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW). Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving Roger Teal. Needs a couple of these to falter. Dual Lingfield AW winner for Roger Teal, best watched on yard debut, only third turf start.

LTO Selection:

---

EVERYLITTLESTEP hasn't looked back since connections removed the hood in June and Yvonne Latta's mare is fancied to shrug off a further 7lb rise to complete a four-timer. There were more encouraging signs from Rock Etoile when staying on into fourth place over 7f at Gowran on Wednesday and the Fastnet Rock gelding is feared most if handling a quick turnaround. Akmaam has been performing with credit in defeat of late and also enters calculations on the ease in grade.

The thriving EVERYLITTLESTEP had something in hand at Gowran earlier in the week and can complete a 4-timer. Sondheim rates an obvious threat after a couple of fine placed efforts since equipped with blinkers. Andrew Slattery's Rock Etoile is also respected after his close fourth at Gowran on Wednesday.

EVERYLITTLESTEP looked better than ever at Gowran on Wednesday and there must be a strong chance she can defy her penalty

Although becoming disappointing he did at least run his best race at this venue.
2	3 2nd (3) (4.5/1 +10%) Eloped		4.5 4.5/1(+10%)																															(3) Eloped 4.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f, 9/4) 17 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Tongue strap on 1st time. Can make presence felt.

Hopes of improvement may rest on first-time blinkers. Could be that he has more ability than he's shown on the track and blinkers may help.

Beat a small field at Windsor but effectively 2lb lower for this.
5th	9 5th (9) (5/1 -43%) Lough Leane		5 5/1(-43%)																															(9) Lough Leane 5/1, Below par on heavy ground at Lingfield latest but had made the frame in a couple of handicaps (at up to 12.1f) previously and remains fairly treated. Respected. Appeared to be progressing until struggling on soft ground last time (favourite).
6th	6 6th (6) (14/1 +30%) Papa Ricco		14 14/1(+30%)																															(6) Papa Ricco 14/1, Winner at Nottingham in April. Hooded for 1st time cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Leicester (11.8f, soft, 40/1) 18 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Others more appealing. No further progress made since his Nottingham win in April; needs more.
7th	5 7th (5) (20/1 -67%) My Boy Benji		20 20/1(-67%)																															(5) My Boy Benji 20/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 18/1, fourth of 9 in maiden at Pontefract (8f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Should progress. Beaten just under 10l in his final maiden, the closest he's got.
8th	10 8th (10) (100/1 -100%) Raincloud		100 100/1(-100%)																															(10) Raincloud 100/1, 9/2, sixth of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good) 45 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Alice Haynes. Likely best watched. Placed once in eight starts for her previous yard, which she left for only 2,000gns.
9th	2 9th (2) (9/1 +10%) Come Musica		9 9/1(+10%)																															(2) Come Musica 9/1, Eleventh of 13 in handicap at Kempton (16f, 28/1) 6 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Makes tapeta debut. Others look better treated. Third in a 1m4f novice on Polytrack but has been well held in three handicaps since then.
10th	4 10th (4) (16/1 -45%) Corsican Caper		16 16/1(-45%)																															(4) Corsican Caper 16/1, First run since leaving Kevin Philippart De Foy when seventh of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy, 10/1) 17 days ago, needing stiffer test. Claims if building on that. 0-10 for Kevin Philippart De Foy and only seventh of nine runners on debut for this yard.

LTO Selection:

QUEENSLAND BOY shed his maiden tag at the sixth time of asking at Windsor and can follow up that success. Ian Williams' charge won more comfortably than the one-length distance would imply and he is fancied to defy a 3lb rise, with 5lb claimer Christian Howarth now on board. Eloped rates as the biggest danger, despite letting down favourite-backers when fifth on her handicap bow over the extended 1m4f at Newcastle. Lough Leane heads the remainder.

This can go to QUEENSLAND BOY, who got on the winning trail at Windsor earlier this month and hasn't been harshly treated by the handicapper. Lough Leane and Eloped look the likeliest dangers.

1	11 1st (11) (6/1 +25%) Island Bandit		6 6/1(+25%)																															(11) Island Bandit 6/1, Dual C&D winner last year, including race. Added to his tally at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) in June and respectable fourth of 12 at Ascot (1m, good, 9/1) since. Could make a bold bid to defend his crown. In good heart the last twice and he won two in a row over C&D last August (including this).
2	8 2nd (8) (25/1 -56%) Bluelight Bay		25 25/1(-56%)																															(8) Bluelight Bay 25/1, Fairly useful form last year and improved when accounting for 6 rivals in a Salisbury handicap in June. Hit quite hard for that win and wasn't in the same form at Newmarket next time. Won in June on first crack at 1m and good to soft ground reportedly unsuitable last time.
3	7 3rd (7) (7/1 +30%) What's The Story		7 7/1(+30%)																															(7) What's The Story 7/1, Benefited from ease in class to end losing run at Carlisle in May. Solid start for new yard and looks likely to be on the premises once more. Good second on first two starts for this yard and every chance he'll be in the mix.
4	6 4th (6) (10/1 +17%) Indemnify		10 10/1(+17%)																															(6) Indemnify 10/1, Off 8 months before cosily landing 9-runner handicap at Newmarket on his final run for Roger Varian. Didn't fire on first outing for current yard but much too soon to be writing off. Below par at Newmarket latest but in good form over this C&D previously and not ruled out.
5th	3 5th (3) (8/1 +0%) Orbaan		8 8/1(+0%)																															(3) Orbaan 8/1, Scored twice last term and, while his form has been in-and-out this year, he shaped better than the result when ninth in the Goodwood Mile 16 days ago. Drops in grade and could get involved if the race is run to suit. Below best this year but hasn't run badly the last twice and is dropping down the weights.
6th	10 6th (10) (4.5/1 -13%) Metal Merchant		4.5 4.5/1(-13%)																															(10) Metal Merchant 4.5/1, Useful performer who has been better than recent form figures suggest, again shaping encouragingly when fifth at Goodwood 17 days ago. Could make his presence felt if things drop right. Has run well in defeat more often than not this year and the stiff finish should be a plus.
7th	4 7th (4) (18/1 -64%) Austrian Theory		18 18/1(-64%)																															(4) Austrian Theory 18/1, Back to winning ways at Epsom in June and latest run at Hamilton was respectable, albeit with the run of the race. Remains well treated on old form, so claims if he can get across from stall 12. Has to produce more than he's managed the last twice but Epsom June win brings him into it.
8th	5 8th (5) (12/1 -33%) Alrehb		12 12/1(-33%)																															(5) Alrehb 12/1, Better than ever when winning on tapeta first 2 starts this year, at Wolverhampton (8.6f) on the second occasion. Placed last couple of outings, back on AW at Newcastle on latest, and he's appealing from his lower turf mark. Well treated on this year's AW form but he has a lower turf mark for a reason.
9th	9 9th (9) (9/1 +0%) Acotango		9 9/1(+0%)																															(9) Acotango 9/1, Won an AW nursery on his final and has mostly given his running this term. Respectable showing at Goodwood a couple of months ago and is still relatively unexposed. Some good runs in defeat this year and this 3yo remains open to further progress.
10th	1 10th (1) (50/1 -25%) Justice Protecol		50 50/1(-25%)																															(1) Justice Protecol 50/1, Useful handicapper who scored four times at Jebel Ali from December to March. Down the field at Newmarket on return, however, and appears to be more effective on synthetics. Prolific on dirt in UAE but tailed off back on turf at Newmarket last month.
11th	2 11th (2) (3/1 +10%) Ouzo		3 3/1(+10%)																															(2) Ouzo 3/1, Consistent sort who looked back to his very best when finding only one rival too good over C&D last time. Sure to give his running again and might be able to go one better from the same mark. On 19-race losing run but fine second over C&D last time and runs off the same mark today.

LTO Selection:

---

OUZO had Indemnify (fifth) and Orbaan (ninth) behind when hitting the crossbar over C&D last month and that race is reading very well, with the first and third both scoring since. The son of Charm Spirit looks sure to go very close once more off the same rating. What's The Story has finished second in warm handicaps on both starts since joining the Richard Fahey stable and he is likely to be on the premises again, while Metal Merchant is another to note in an open contest.

OUZO is reliable and his mark is unchanged from when he finished an excellent second over C&D in June, so he's the marginal vote to go one better in an open race. What's The Story is lightly raced for his current stable and is going through a good spell, so he's regarded as the main danger, although Alrehb is handicapped to win if he can match his AW form.

Preference is for OUZO (nap) who was a fine second over C&D last time in a better race than this. Metal Merchant is feared most.

1	9 1st (9) (3.5/1 +30%) Marinara		3.5 3.5/1(+30%)																															(9) Marinara 3.5/1, Shaped well on her first 2 handicap outings before finding further improvement to land 12-runner event at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) 32 days ago. Steps up in trip here but shouldn't be discounted from 6 lb higher mark, albeit draw doesn't look ideal. Looks progressive after winning with a nice bit in hand at Yarmouth; new trip.
2	12 2nd (12) (7/1 +56%) Tango Tonight		7 7/1(+56%)																															(12) Tango Tonight 7/1, Good second here on final start in 2022 but found worryingly little after 3-month break when fourth of 6 in handicap at Newbury (8f, good) 29 days ago. Perhaps needed the run on that occasion, but others have more convincing profiles overall. Only fourth of six in a 1m soft-ground handicap at Newbury last month.
3	5 3rd (5) (20/1 +20%) Thebeautifulgame		20 20/1(+20%)																															(5) Thebeautifulgame 20/1, Went with little fluency after a 5-month absence when last of 7 in handicap at Bath (8f, soft) in May. Since been off a further 111 days and makes little appeal. Consistent last season at 1m/1m2f; point to prove after a quiet reappearance in May.
4	7 4th (7) (1.75/1 +22%) Zarga		1.75 1.75/1(+22%)																															(7) Zarga 1.75/1, Steadily progressive in 3 handicaps this year, taking another step forward to get off the mark in an 8-runner event at Windsor (10f, good, 3/1) 27 days ago. Remains unexposed at this kind of trip and can continue on her upward curve. Lightly raced and was nicely on top at the finish in a 1m2f fillies' handicap at Windsor.
5th	1 5th (1) (16/1 -14%) Sly Madam		16 16/1(-14%)																															(1) Sly Madam 16/1, Much sharper for return when resuming winning ways at Windsor in April and has worked her way back to form of late after a brief lull, posting another good effort against younger rivals when second of 6 in handicap at Epsom (8.5f, good to soft, 10/3) 17 days ago. Solid place claims. Looked a bit unlucky when not getting the breaks last time at Epsom.
6th	6 6th (6) (10/1 +55%) Aiming High		10 10/1(+55%)																															(6) Aiming High 10/1, Won at Southwell on New Year's Day and chased home a less-exposed 3yo on her return to turf at Doncaster in May, Not in the same at Goodwood (12f) a week later and is better known for her exploits over further, so others make greater appeal. Off since disappointing at Goodwood in May; opposable with rain about.
7th	2 7th (2) (11/1 -38%) Crystal Casque		11 11/1(-38%)																															(2) Crystal Casque 11/1, Has done well this summer, scoring at Newmarket in June before producing a career-best to land a 7-runner handicap at this course (8f, heavy) 18 days ago. Has regular claimer taking 7 lb off but she should fine life more difficult having been nudged up 4 lb in a more competitive environment. Recent 1m winner here and a reliable filly who should give her running.
8th	10 8th (10) (16/1 +36%) Miss Down Under		16 16/1(+36%)																															(10) Miss Down Under 16/1, Won here under testing conditions (10f) last September before quickly following up at Ffos Las, but there's been very little to shout about on either outing this term, folding so tamely it's possible she was amiss at Doncaster when last seen in April. Bit to prove now. Quiet this season but off since April and has fair mark if all the better for wind surgery.
9th	4 9th (4) (9/1 +10%) Chips And Rice		9 9/1(+10%)																															(4) Chips And Rice 9/1, Made a winning seasonal/stable debut at Lingfield (10f) in April before resuming progress when scoring at Brighton (10f) in July. Shaped as if still in good form under testing conditions at Goodwood last time but current mark demands more. Well held on heavy last time; could yet confirm herself to be a progressive filly.
10th	11 10th (11) (66/1 -100%) Victoria Grove		66 66/1(-100%)																															(11) Victoria Grove 66/1, Scored at Chelmsford City in October but has been largely underwhelming since, failing to build on a slightly more encouraging effort when last of 6 in handicap (28/1) at Newmarket (12f, good to firm) 50 days ago. Connections now reach for blinkers. One good run this season (at 1m2f) divides two poor ones and she now goes in blinkers.

LTO Selection:

---

ZARGA was able to confirm the earlier promise that she had shown when recording a narrow success at Windsor last month, and the daughter of Camelot could build on that despite a subsequent 6lb rise in the handicap. Marinara powered clear in the closing stages when scoring over 7f at Yarmouth last time and she might be even better now raised further in trip. Chips And Rice merits respect down in class, while Crystal Casque is just one more to consider.

The progressive ZARGA confirmed her previous promise when getting off the mark at Windsor last time and she's fancied to continue her upward trajectory and make it back-to-back successes. Top-weight Sly Madam arrives after several good efforts and should give another good account, whilst neither Compliant or Marinara are fully exposed and both also merit plenty of respect.

This is very open. MARINARA looked one to follow when winning comfortably at Yarmouth and going further this evening promises to suit.

1	6 1st (6) (9/1 -29%) Traila		9 9/1(-29%)																															(6) Traila 9/1, Useful form without winning for his current yard in 2022, most notably going close off a 1 lb higher mark at Yarmouth in September. Low-key start to 2023 but bounced back to form when a running-on second at Newmarket in June (14f). Mixed record; neck 2nd at Newmarket (1m6f, good; not proven on softer) in June latest.
2	13 2nd (13) (5.5/1 +61%) Dark Island		5.5 5.5/1(+61%)																															(13) Dark Island 5.5/1, AW winner who produced his best effort on turf when second of 7 at Windsor last month (11.5f). Was seen to maximum effect on that occasion and this is a deeper race tackling a new trip. Very good 2nd last time; new territory over this trip but has stamina on the dam's side.
3	4 3rd (4) (8/1 +6%) Rhythmic Intent		8 8/1(+6%)																															(4) Rhythmic Intent 8/1, Useful handicapper who doesn't look quite the force of old but his mark reflects that and he produced his best effort of the campaign when third at Yarmouth 3 weeks ago. Enters calculations from the same mark. Lowest mark for over three years; two of this season's minor honours give good e-w chance.
4	7 4th (7) (8.5/1 +39%) Diamond Bay		8.5 8.5/1(+39%)																															(7) Diamond Bay 8.5/1, Likeable type who capitalised on a handy mark when scoring at York in June. Unable to land a telling blow in a deeper handicap at Newmarket last month but it was a fair effort, nonetheless. Very reliable over 1m6f-2m and won off 2lb lower at York on penultimate outing.
5th	11 5th (11) (9/1 -6%) Pons Aelius		9 9/1(-6%)																															(11) Pons Aelius 9/1, Successful 4 times during a busy 2022, culminating in success in London Stayers' Final in December. As good as ever when also winning 7-runner handicap at Goodwood (16f, good to firm) in June and wasn't below that form by much when fourth back on the AW 11 days ago. Reliable on AW and a wide range of turf, winning at Goodwood (2m) on penultimate outing.
6th	10 6th (10) (9/1 -29%) Blow Your Horn		9 9/1(-29%)																															(10) Blow Your Horn 9/1, Completed a turf hat-trick in June. Might have found a busy spell catching up with him when only mid-division in the Northumberland Vase at Newcastle (2m) in early July and freshened up since. Hat-trick before disappointing in the Northumberland Vase; concern about softer than good.
7th	2 7th (2) (3.33/1 +52%) Omniscient		3.33 3.33/1(+52%)																															(2) Omniscient 3.33/1, Progressive on the whole and shaped encouragingly when seventh of 19 to Calling The Wind in the Northumberland Place on his reappearance, fading only in the closing stages. Didn't look comfortable on heavy ground at Goodwood a fortnight ago and better expected this time. Remote finish on heavy at Goodwood (1m6f) latest was his first run on softer than good.
8th	12 8th (12) (8.5/1 +29%) Alpine Stroll		8.5 8.5/1(+29%)																															(12) Alpine Stroll 8.5/1, Confirmed himself back at the top of his game when second of 8 in C&D handicap in June. May have been undone by slower ground when below that level at Ayr since and he's likely to give it a good go from the front. C&D runner-up; acts on good to soft but perhaps soft ground was not ideal on latest outing.
9th	1 9th (1) (14/1 +0%) Saratoga Gold		14 14/1(+0%)																															(1) Saratoga Gold 14/1, Five-year-old who has built up a good strike rate and took his form up a notch when running out a comfortable winner at Kempton (1½m) last month. Possibly unsuited by soft ground when below form at Ascot since and he's now back up in distance. Seen less often at 1m6f but won over it April 2022; possible problem if the ground is soft.
10th	9 10th (9) (8.5/1 -13%) Crescent Lake		8.5 8.5/1(-13%)																															(9) Crescent Lake 8.5/1, Better that ever for current yard this year, winning 3 times and he did very little wrong when runner-up at Ascot a month ago. Nudged up 1 lb but he's versatile regarding ground and seems sure to give it another good go. Has never been better and has to be in calculations.

LTO Selection:

---

In an open heat, only a tentative vote can go to CRESCENT LAKE. Gary Moore's charge has found his stride in recent months, notching up three wins in the process. He bumped into a progressive rival when filling the runner-up berth at Ascot last month and he remains competitively treated from just a 1lb higher mark. Having been narrowly denied at Newmarket in June, Traila could feature, along with Pons Aelius, who was far from disgraced in a valuable stayers' series qualifier at Kempton 11 days ago.

This looks extremely competitive with CRESCENT LAKE just about the most persuasive option on the back of an excellent second to one destined for pattern company at Ascot last month. Drying ground would help both Omniscient and Saratoga Gold and they head a lengthy list of dangers.

Uncertainty about ground conditions provides a major complication in this competitive field. OMNISCIENT is given another chance.

About U.K Horse Racing

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

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

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

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

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

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