13:45 Southwell Handicap Chase (Class 5) 20f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (1.25/1 +50%) Mystic Man	1.25 1.25/1(+50%)	(3) Mystic Man 1.25/1, Point winner who left hurdle exploits behind when winning 2 handicap chases at the start of the summer. Run of good form came to an abrupt halt when pulled up at Uttoxeter in July (final start for Oliver Sherwood) but could bounce back with a bang for Harry Derham. Won first two starts over fences and he had an excuse on slow ground last time; respected.
2	2 2nd (2) (3/1 +0%) Tedwin Hills	3 3/1(+0%)	(2) Tedwin Hills 3/1, Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles who has finished fourth in a couple of handicaps this summer (had wind surgery in between). Steps back up in trip for chase debut. Lightly raced 6yo and he could have more to offer on this switch to fences; in the mix.
3	6 3rd (6) (28/1 -133%) Fox's Socks	28 28/1(-133%)	(6) Fox's Socks 28/1, Mixed record over fences for Alex Hales and it remains to be seen whether a change of scenery sparks an upturn in his fortunes. Has struggled in his last three runs over fences and has questions to answer for new yard.
4	5 4th (5) (6/1 +25%) Conceal	6 6/1(+25%)	(5) Conceal 6/1, Won at Uttoxeter last autumn. One of his better efforts since when third at Stratford on reappearance in July but not in the same form when a remote fourth back there since. On workable mark but he's 1-17 under rules and others are more convincing.
5th	8 5th (8) (14/1 +13%) Carapaz	14 14/1(+13%)	(8) Carapaz 14/1, Failed to complete both starts in points and has no more than hinted at ability under Rules, including a remote sixth on his recent Worcester chase debut. A first-time cheekpieces and refitted tongue tie combination needs to spark improvement. Has not shown much under rules and he needs a transformation in new equipment.
6th	4 6th (4) (10/1 +17%) Bergentown	10 10/1(+17%)	(4) Bergentown 10/1, Little worthwhile form in 16 starts over hurdles in Ireland but left those efforts well behind on first start for this yard when scoring at Bangor (19.5f, good) in June. Down the field both outings since and now switches to fences with a tongue strap added. Disappointing in last two hurdle runs and has quite a bit to prove again on chase debut.
7th	7 7th (7) (14/1 -87%) Onenightintown	14 14/1(-87%)	(7) Onenightintown 14/1, Two chase wins at the end of last summer. Not disgraced at the start of this season and has Brian Hughes up back from a short break. Not discounted. His last win was off a similar mark and he wasn't beaten far last time; dangerous.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (22/1 -300%) Big Difference	22 22/1(-300%)	(1) Big Difference 22/1, Won a couple of small-field handicap chases for Tim Reed in the first half of last season. Lost his way lately but well handicapped if a switch to Laura Morgan sparks a revival. Market confidence could prove significant. Dual chase winner but he's lost his way and needs to turn things around for new yard.

LTO Selection:

This can go the way of MYSTIC MAN, who failed to fire last time but he had won well on his two previous outings, including once over this C&D. The change of stables is also intriguing and he may have enough to see off the likes of Tedwin Hills and Conceal, who is now 1lb below his last winning mark.

MYSTIC MAN ended his time with Oliver Sherwood on a low note but he could resume his progression now. Big Difference is well handicapped if a switch to Laura Morgan prompts an upturn in his fortunes and rates a possible threat, particularly if the betting vibes are strong. Onenightintown is also shortlisted with Brian Hughes in the saddle.

6yo MYSTIC MAN had an excuse in his hat-trick bid at Uttoxeter in July and can bounce back to make it 3-4 over fences.

13:45 Southwell Handicap Chase (Class 5) 20f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:00 Haydock Handicap (Class 5) 12f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
9	9 (9) (40/1 +0%) She's Out Of Reach	40 40/1(+0%)	(9) She's Out Of Reach 40/1, Modest form. Second in a 1½m Leicester seller in May but down the field in 2m Wolverhampton handicap later that month (final start for Louise Allan). Would need to see market support to consider now starting out for new yard after a break. Well beaten in May when last seen; has changed stables; others have less to prove.
1	6 1st (6) (2.5/1 +29%) She's A Novelty	2.5 2.5/1(+29%)	(6) She's A Novelty 2.5/1, Placed twice before resuming winning ways in amateur riders' event at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Enters calculations despite a 5 lb rise. Won comfortably at Windsor and a 5lb rise isn't harsh; could play another leading role.
2	1 2nd (1) (4/1 +0%) Unplugged	4 4/1(+0%)	(1) Unplugged 4/1, C&D winner in June and went in again at Pontefract in July. 13/2, creditable 2¼ lengths fourth of 10 to Bollin Margaret in handicap at Ripon 9 days ago. Likely to be thereabouts under Serena Brotherton. Won two in a row under Serena Brotherton this summer (the first over C&D); can go well.
3	7 3rd (7) (12/1 -9%) Super Stars	12 12/1(-9%)	(7) Super Stars 12/1, 5/2, seventh of 9 in handicap at Ayr (1m, firm) 86 days ago, needing stiffer test. Significantly up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Adrian Keatley. 18-race maiden but on a handy mark and he's capable of being in the mix on stable debut.
4	5 4th (5) (10/1 +9%) Turner Girl	10 10/1(+9%)	(5) Turner Girl 10/1, Latest win at Newcastle (12.5f) in August. Eighth of 10 in handicap (5/1) at Lingfield (1½mf, AW) 17 days ago. Bounce back needed. Disappointing at Lingfield last time but in good form previously and she's not written off.
5th	3 5th (3) (7.5/1 -15%) Dogged	7.5 7.5/1(-15%)	(3) Dogged 7.5/1, Four wins from 8 runs this year, the latest at Ripon (11f) 10 days ago. Only scraped home on that occasion so a 5 lb penalty demands more of him. Three wins from last four starts and this bang-in-form front-runner has to be respected.
6th	2 6th (2) (5.5/1 -83%) Bollin Margaret	5.5 5.5/1(-83%)	(2) Bollin Margaret 5.5/1, Third win of a productive year when seeing off 9 rivals in a 1¼m Ripon apprentice race 9 days ago. Escapes a penalty so another bold bid looks assured. Escapes penalty for last week's apprentice h'cap win at Ripon; has to be in calculations.
7th	8 7th (8) (8/1 +20%) Sameem	8 8/1(+20%)	(8) Sameem 8/1, Latest win at Ripon in June. 9/2, creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at Catterick (1½m, good) 17 days ago. Won under Emily Roberts in June and fair efforts the last twice; not ruled out.
8th	4 8th (4) (9/1 +25%) Restorer	9 9/1(+25%)	(4) Restorer 9/1, Twenty eight runs since last win in 2020. 16/1, bit below form fifth of 11 in handicap at Epsom (1½m, good) 10 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Others more persuasive. Some fair efforts this year but this 11yo's losing sequence goes back to September 2020.

LTO Selection:

SHE'S A NOVELTY recorded her first success on the level when sauntering to victory at Windsor last month and, although she's been raised 5lb since, the manner of her victory suggested there could be more to come from this dual-purpose mare. Bollin Margaret is officially 3lb well-in having won in game fashion at Ripon nine days ago, and must enter calculations along with Dogged.

BOLLIN MARGARET is unpenalised for last week's Ripon apprentice success so might be up to landing win number 4 of the season. Fellow last-time-out scorer She's A Novelty is second choice ahead of Unplugged, who was fourth to the selection at Ripon last week.

Having won comfortably at Windsor last time the mare SHE'S A NOVELTY is taken to defy a 5lb rise and follow up. Dogged is a danger.

14:00 Haydock Handicap (Class 5) 12f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:10 Salisbury Handicap (Class 5) 8f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (3.33/1 +45%) Power Of Darkness	3.33 3.33/1(+45%)	(1) Power Of Darkness 3.33/1, Becoming well treated and took a step back in the right direction when fifth at Chepstow last month. Slowly into stride and never able to land a blow at Windsor but this is a much easier assignment. Enduring a disappointing season and there's been little sign of turning things around.
2	6 2nd (6) (6/1 -71%) Racing Demon	6 6/1(-71%)	(6) Racing Demon 6/1, Won back-to-back 1m handicaps in June, latterly at this venue. 5/2, good second of 8 in handicap at this C&D 22 days ago, despite being slowly away. Can give a good account. Would probably have made it 2-2 over C&D had he kept to a straight line here 22 days ago.
3	4 3rd (4) (3.33/1 +5%) Uncle Dick	3.33 3.33/1(+5%)	(4) Uncle Dick 3.33/1, All the better for reappearance when lading 9-runner handicap at Brighton (8f, good, 5/1) 17 days ago, cashing on a drop in class. 2 lb rise could be lenient. Back to form at Brighton; had dropped to a good mark so a 2lb rise is readily accepted.
4	2 4th (2) (3.5/1 -17%) Anglo Saxson	3.5 3.5/1(-17%)	(2) Anglo Saxson 3.5/1, Enhanced excellent Yarmouth record on reappearance and just about better than ever for latest win over C&D 3 weeks ago. Up 4 lb but clearly in excellent heart. Never in doubt over C&D latest; kept to Class 5s this season but solid candidate.
5th	7 5th (7) (8.5/1 -13%) Island Native	8.5 8.5/1(-13%)	(7) Island Native 8.5/1, Upped his game when finding only one too good on handicap debut in May. Failed to meet expectations both starts since but he's unexposed and represents an in-form yard. Close second of 14 on handicap debut at Brighton and can forgive him subsequent defeats.
6th	3 6th (3) (4.5/1 +40%) Havana Goldrush	4.5 4.5/1(+40%)	(3) Havana Goldrush 4.5/1, Stood up well to a busy campaign, winning brace of 1m handicaps amongst several other excellent efforts. Stuck to his pretty well over C&D last week and he's below his last successful mark. Races prominently, as was the case when a weakening fourth here six days ago.
7th	5 7th (5) (33/1 -65%) Blue Collar Lad	33 33/1(-65%)	(5) Blue Collar Lad 33/1, Latest win at Lingfield in June with cheekpieces re-fitted but unable to continue the good work in a trio of outings since. Last of four wins came in June but it's been modest fare since then.

LTO Selection:

Plenty of chances in this contest with ANGLO SAXSON making most appeal. Patrick Owens' charge showed a willing attitude when scoring over course and distance last time and a repeat of that effort would see him take plenty of beating. The six-year-old will have to defy a 4lb rise in the ratings, but that could prove to be lenient. Uncle Dick scored over 1m at Brighton recently, while Racing Demon shouldn't be far away.

UNCLE DICK was all the better for his reappearance when scoring at Brighton 3 weeks ago and a 2 lb rise won't prevent a very bold bid. Anglo Saxson and the class-dropping Power of Darkness are potential threats.

Anglo Saxson is a no-nonsense individual but ISLAND NATIVE can be forgiven his last two runs and he edges preference.

14:10 Salisbury Handicap (Class 5) 8f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:18 Southwell Handicap Chase (Class 4) 26f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (3.33/1 -33%) Swapped	3.33 3.33/1(-33%)	(3) Swapped 3.33/1, Bumper winner who didn't progress over hurdles but more like it switched to chasing for Nicky Henderson landing handicaps at Worcester/here in recent months. Joined new yard for £18,000 in August and he's not out of things now his stamina is tested further. Signed off for Nicky Henderson with two 2m4f wins; upped in trip for stable debut.
2	7 2nd (7) (66/1 -100%) Massons Castle	66 66/1(-100%)	(7) Massons Castle 66/1, Modest winner over hurdles earlier in career. Minor promise on third start over fences at Tramore in June but proved disappointing back over hurdles in a Roscommon claimer (20f) 59 days ago. Returns to chasing on debut for new yard and market best guide. Failed to convince over fences in Ireland; moves up in trip for today's stable debut.
3	5 3rd (5) (4.5/1 +25%) Ecossais	4.5 4.5/1(+25%)	(5) Ecossais 4.5/1, Showed benefit of a wind op at second attempt and ended long losing run in the process in 9-runner Perth handicap chase (23.8f) 5 weeks ago. knuckling down to reel in the irresolute runner-up. Raised only 1 lb and he can't be ruled out. Finished well to win at Perth last month and has very good record at this track.
4	1 4th (1) (2.75/1 +31%) Biowavego	2.75 2.75/1(+31%)	(1) Biowavego 2.75/1, Bounced back from a couple of lesser efforts over hurdles when adding to his tally at Warwick (25f, good to firm) in May. Similar form without threatening in a couple of chase tries since but mark is easing and lively ground will hold no fears. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Began chasing career with two fairly respectable runs on soft ground; can do better here.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (3/1 -20%) Fairlawn Flyer	3 3/1(-20%)	(2) Fairlawn Flyer 3/1, Went through a lull initially this summer but mark eased as a result and he finally took advantage when taking 7-runner Cartmel handicap chase (25.5f) 12 days ago, typically making hard work of things. Wouldn't be an obvious follow-up candidate on this much quicker ground, however. Still well handicapped after recent Cartmel win but would appeal more on slower ground.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (6.5/1 +19%) Moon King	6.5 6.5/1(+19%)	(4) Moon King 6.5/1, Doubled his tally over hurdles at Worcester last summer. Last of 4 on chase debut at that venue in July but he did shape better than bare result when fourth back over hurdles at Market Rasen (23f) last month. Visor refitted back over larger obstacles. Last of four on chasing debut in July and finished weakly over hurdles last month.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (14/1 +0%) Dindin	14 14/1(+0%)	(6) Dindin 14/1, Back on the scoreboard at Worcester (23f) in June and similar form when second at Stratford (22.5f) on penultimate start. Latest Fontwell effort was underwhelming though, and he does need to confirm his stamina for this longer trip. Dual chase winner this year but below form last time and remains on fairly tough mark.

LTO Selection:

FAIRLAWN FLYER bounced back to winning ways with a comfortable success at Cartmel last time out and a 4lb rise may not be enough to prevent him from going in again. The seven-year-old is still well below his career-high mark and may have too much for the Perth winner Ecossais, as well as Swapped, who makes his first start for new connections as he goes in search of a hat-trick.

Successful over hurdles at Warwick in May, BIOWAVEGO hasn't been disgraced either start over fences subsequently and, returned to this forecast quicker ground, he could be the answer. The hat-trick seeking Swapped and Moon King head up the dangers, in what rates a tricky puzzle.

Topweight BIOWAVEGO has made only a satisfactory start to his chasing career but today's faster ground can enable improvement.

14:18 Southwell Handicap Chase (Class 4) 26f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:30 Haydock Stakes (Class 4) 6f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (0.67/1 +19%) Elmonjed	0.67 0.67/1(+19%)	(1) Elmonjed 0.67/1, Bred to be useful and produced a promising first effort when winning 9-runner maiden at Lingfield (6f, good to firm, 11/1) on debut 17 days ago, cosily. Will take the beating with prospect of more to come. Defied evident inexperience to win on debut; strong claims under a 7lb penalty.
2	10 2nd (10) (11/1 +0%) Robbo	11 11/1(+0%)	(10) Robbo 11/1, £40,000 yearling, Camacho colt. Dam lightly-raced half-sister to Preis der Diana winner Mystic Lips, runner-up in German 1000 Guineas. Left debut form behind when runner-up at Newmarket 3 weeks ago. Second of six at Newmarket on second start; could improve further and not discounted.
3	5 3rd (5) (4/1 +11%) Finbar Furey	4 4/1(+11%)	(5) Finbar Furey 4/1, Promising individual. 8/1, second of 9 in novice event at Salisbury (6f, good) on debut 22 days ago, no match for winner. Should have more to offer. Runner-up on last month's debut at Salisbury and pedigree provides optimism he'll improve.
4	8 4th (8) (12/1 +14%) Ingleby Archie	12 12/1(+14%)	(8) Ingleby Archie 12/1, Matched debut form when third of 11 in novice event (8/1) at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Third on both starts; further improvement is required but he's not ruled out.
5th	6 5th (6) (6/1 -20%) First Encore	6 6/1(-20%)	(6) First Encore 6/1, Stepped up slightly on debut run when third of 11 in maiden at Salisbury (6f, good) 40 days ago. Open to improvement. Third at Salisbury on second start and could continue to progress; a possible.
6th	3 6th (3) (200/1 -203%) Elliott	200 200/1(-203%)	(3) Elliott 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fifth of 10 in minor event (33/1) at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Took a step forward on second start but he'll be of greater interest in modest handicaps.
7th	4 7th (4) (22/1 -38%) Fauntleroy	22 22/1(-38%)	(4) Fauntleroy 22/1, Seventh of 9 in maiden (9/2) at Windsor (6f, good to firm) on debut 73 days ago, missing break. Should progress. Gelded since June debut and could leave that initial form well behind.
8th	9 8th (9) (50/1 -25%) Made All	50 50/1(-25%)	(9) Made All 50/1, Foaled February 6. 110,000 gns foal, 100,000 gns 2-y-o, Lope De Vega colt. Dam maiden half-sister to high-class winner up to 8.5f The Revenant out of smart winner up to 1½m (2-y-o 7f winner who stayed 14.5f) Hazel Lavery. 100,000gns breeze-up buy; trainer is better known for his exploits with older horses.
9th	7 9th (7) (125/1 -89%) Frankie Valliance	125 125/1(-89%)	(7) Frankie Valliance 125/1, 28/1, last of 8 in novice event at Ripon (6f, good) on debut 19 days ago, slowly away. 28-1, always in rear on debut at Ripon three weeks ago and dramatic improvement is needed.
10th	2 10th (2) (100/1 -52%) Drifts Away	100 100/1(-52%)	(2) Drifts Away 100/1, Foaled January 16. £72,000 yearling, Zoustar colt. Dam, 5f/6f winner (including at 2 yrs), out of half-sister to very smart winner up to 1½m Bronze Cannon. Cost £72,000; potential in pedigree; interesting to see how he goes in betting on debut.

LTO Selection:

Despite racing keenly, there was plenty to like about the way Finbar Furey stuck to his task when runner-up at Salisbury on debut last month and, if settling better this time, he could go very close. However, ELMONJED gets the nod. This son of Blue Point broke the juvenile track record at Lingfield on debut and could be another smart sort for connections. Ingleby Archie improved for the step up in trip at Redcar recently and cant be discounted.

ELMONJED has already been gelded but he's bred to be pretty smart and he wasn't extended to make a winning debut at Lingfield 17 days ago. On that evidence, he's more than capable of defying a penalty, with Finbar Furey and First Encore likely to offer most resistance.

14:40 Salisbury Stakes (Class 4) 8f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (1.1/1 +0%) Cambridge	1.1 1.1/1(+0%)	(3) Cambridge 1.1/1, Dubawi colt who shaped with promise when third of 8 on his 7.5f Roscommon debut 16 days ago. This Group-entered colt can be expected to improve. The one to beat. Rare runner here for top Irish yard and his Roscommon debut was encouraging.
2	8 2nd (8) (14/1 +44%) Houstonn	14 14/1(+44%)	(8) Houstonn 14/1, 33/1, ninth of 13 in maiden at Newbury (7f, good, 33/1) on debut 19 days ago. Needs to have come on a lot. Went off 33-1 at Newbury (7f, good to soft) and never really counted after starting slowly.
3	4 3rd (4) (2/1 +43%) City Burglar	2 2/1(+43%)	(4) City Burglar 2/1, Cracksman colt who stepped up on his Sandown debut when second over 1m at Newbury 3 weeks ago. Another prominent showing is likely for a yard which continues in flying form. Only surrendered late on after making the running at Newbury.
4	1 4th (1) (12/1 -41%) Boyfriend	12 12/1(-41%)	(1) Boyfriend 12/1, Yet to build on his promising close second at Windsor in 2 subsequent attempts (all 6f) but it is possible this 2f longer trip will see him in a better light. Easily his best run was first time out at Windsor and he goes up 2f in trip here.
5th	7 5th (7) (10/1 +29%) Hand Of God	10 10/1(+29%)	(7) Hand Of God 10/1, Promise when fourth of 9 in novice at Ffos Las (7.5f, soft) on debut 13 days ago, slowly away. Likely to improve. Shaped fairly well at Ffos Las but he probably has to improve quite a bit.
6th	11 6th (11) (22/1 -83%) Torrent	22 22/1(-83%)	(11) Torrent 22/1, 110,000 gns yearling, Camelot colt. Half-brother to winner up to 8.3f Fashion Free and 11f winner Surimar. Dam, 9f winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 1¼m Nashmiah. Would enter the reckoning if the betting vibes are strong. 110,000gns yearling; 6th foal; well related; interesting newcomer from powerful local yard.
7th	5 7th (5) (25/1 -56%) Endosser	25 25/1(-56%)	(5) Endosser 25/1, €260,000 breeze-up purchase with a smart US pedigree. Interesting to see how this one goes in the betting. 260,000euros 2yo breeze-ups; half-brother to six US winners, notably a Grade 1 scorer.
8th	12 8th (12) (66/1 -371%) War Director	66 66/1(-371%)	(12) War Director 66/1, €120,000 Churchill half-brother to winner up to 1½m Toute Chic. Dam US 1m winner out of smart winner up to 1m (2-y-o 7f winner) Theyskens' Theory. Stable has a couple of useful juvenile colts under its care so a market move would be worth noting. 120,000euros yearling; half-brother to French 1m1f-1m4f winner Toute Chic (inc 2yo).
9th	10 9th (10) (33/1 -32%) Pick Your Battles	33 33/1(-32%)	(10) Pick Your Battles 33/1, 6/1, eighth of 10 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) on debut 27 days ago. City Burglar looks the stable first string unless the betting suggests otherwise. Found wanting when it mattered at Newmarket and Rossa Ryan has jumped ship.
10th	9 10th (9) (150/1 -88%) Penalty Shootout	150 150/1(-88%)	(9) Penalty Shootout 150/1, Bungle Inthejungle colt. Half-brother to numerous winners, including smart 1¼m/10.2f winner Aristia and 1¼m-1½m winner Glorious Sinndar. Dam French maiden. Bred to have a future but probably best to look elsewhere this time. Tenth foal; half-brother to eight winners including Aristia (1m2f inc Group 1; RPR 115).
11th	2 11th (2) (100/1 -100%) Bradman	100 100/1(-100%)	(2) Bradman 100/1, 5,000 gns yearling, Australia colt. Dam 6f winner. Betting should help guide to expectations with this newcomer. 65,000gns yearling; first foal; dam 6f AW winner (RPR 78).
12th	6 12th (6) (200/1 -203%) Forest Hills	200 200/1(-203%)	(6) Forest Hills 200/1, Mastercraftsman colt. Dam unraced out of smart 1¼m-1½m winner (should have stayed 2m) Clowance. Watching brief is the percentage call on debut. Second foal; dam unraced half-sister to 1m4f-2m AW winner Clowance One.

LTO Selection:

Immediately the eye is drawn to CAMBRIDGE, who represents the powerful combination of Aidan O'Brien and Ryan Moore. The son of Dubawi made an eye-catching start to his career when third over the extended 7f at Roscommon a couple of weeks ago and this looks like a good opportunity to get his head in front at the second time of asking. City Burglar is feared most after a close second over 1m at Newbury last time, while Boyfriend is also noted.

CAMBRIDGE, a rare runner here for the Aidan O'Brien yard, made a pleasing start when third at Roscommon recently and is the one to beat with improvement very much on the cards. Newbury runner-up City Burgler is likely to give him most to do unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding newcomers such as Torrent and/or Endosser.

The Dubawi colt CAMBRIDGE is a rare Salisbury runner for Aidan O'Brien and there was a lot to like about his debut effort.

1	5 1st (5) (1.62/1 +19%) Manimole	1.62 1.62/1(+19%)	(5) Manimole 1.62/1, Made the most of a good opportunity when off the mark in 2m novice at Worcester in June. Sound runner-up efforts since and she's likely to be bang there again. Consistent mare who had a near miss here last time and is respected back in trip.
2	2 2nd (2) (5.5/1 +27%) Book Of Secrets	5.5 5.5/1(+27%)	(2) Book Of Secrets 5.5/1, Confirmed his return to form in running away with a weak maiden at Market Rasen last month, going with enthusiasm and in command a long way out. Brushed aside in a better race under a penalty since. Unchallenged at Market Rasen last month but was disappointing under a penalty there latest.
3	4 3rd (4) (6/1 -33%) Sobegrand	6 6/1(-33%)	(4) Sobegrand 6/1, Fairly useful maiden on the Flat who improved again when landing 9-runner maiden at Stratford in July. Ran a shocker at Market Rasen since but he's in the right hands to bounce back in, Stratford winner who had an excuse latest and could bounce back on this drop back in trip.
4	3 4th (3) (9/1 -64%) Hobie	9 9/1(-64%)	(3) Hobie 9/1, Successful on second of 2 starts in Irish points and stepped up on low-key hurdles debut when landing a 9-runner novice at Worcester in May. Failed to land a blow when last of 3 at Stratford 3 weeks later. Won at Worcester in May before a creditable effort at Stratford last time; in the mix.
6	6 \|B\| (6) (33/1 -32%) Point Of Honour	33 33/1(-32%)	(6) Point Of Honour 33/1, Modest handicapper on Flat (stays 1¾m), won at Catterick in July, creditable effort last time. Regular rider retained and showed some aptitude for hurdling at Market Rasen 3 weeks ago. Triple Flat winner but was well held on his belated hurdling debut last month.
1	1 \|F\| (1) (1.75/1 +22%) Adamaris	1.75 1.75/1(+22%)	(1) Adamaris 1.75/1, Fairly useful ex-Irish Flat winner and landed 2m handicap hurdle at Market Rasen in July. Very good second there later that month and easy to excuse latest run over 20.2f given he shaped like a non-stayer. Form pick back in trip. Had an excuse at 2m4f last time and has leading form claims back in a 2m novice.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (250/1 -100%) Rock D'ete	250 250/1(-100%)	(7) Rock D'ete 250/1, Off mark in points at third attempt (May 7) but low-key start under Rules. Point winner but he's been tailed off at massive prices in both hurdle runs.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (300/1 -100%) Cassiel	300 300/1(-100%)	(8) Cassiel 300/1, Poor maiden on Flat (stays 8.5f) and unseated rider early on hurdles debut. Unplaced in 14 Flat runs and he didn't get very far on recent hurdling debut.

LTO Selection:

ADAMARIS has done well since joining the Adrian Keatley stable and another win could be on the cards, with the drop back in trip and this track expected to suit. Brian Hughes retaining the ride is another plus, and it may be that the Stratford winner Sobegrand gives him the most to think about if bouncing back to form. Manimole is also entitled to be thereabouts.

The return to 2m will suit ADAMARIS and now back in novice company following a productive spell in handicap company he looks the one to be with on these terms. Manimole and Sobegrand look the chief threats.

This looks a tight contest but MANIMOLE gets the vote ahead of Adamaris and Hobie.

1	2 1st (2) (4.5/1 -29%) Angel Shared	4.5 4.5/1(-29%)	(2) Angel Shared 4.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Third of 5 in nursery (5/2) at Leicester (5f, soft) 36 days ago. Needs to improve. Engaged 1.40 Bath Wednesday. The return to better ground may help in this second nursery and she's not ruled out.
2	3 2nd (3) (1.88/1 +37%) Be Here Now	1.88 1.88/1(+37%)	(3) Be Here Now 1.88/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Good second of 7 in nursery at Ripon (5f, good, 3/1) 9 days ago, running on. Likely to put up another bold showing. 0-5 but has run well to go close in his two nurseries and could be bang there once more.
3	1 3rd (1) (1.88/1 -15%) Goodeveningmrbond	1.88 1.88/1(-15%)	(1) Goodeveningmrbond 1.88/1, Career best when winning 9-runner nursery at Chepstow (5.1f, good, 6/1) 10 days ago, slowly away. Carries penalty. On the upgrade and boasts leading claims. Won recent Chepstow nursery; major player if the better ground isn't an issue.
4	4 4th (4) (3.5/1 +30%) Blue Moon Baby	3.5 3.5/1(+30%)	(4) Blue Moon Baby 3.5/1, Lightly-raced winner. 6/1, career best when winning 9-runner nursery at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm) 8 days ago, pushed out. Open to further improvement, so makes appeal under a penalty. Cosy winner on nursery debut and a 6lb penalty may not stop her this afternoon.

LTO Selection:

Blue Moon Baby is turned out quickly having won cosily at Musselburgh eight days ago and must enter calculations despite the 6lb penalty. Another who is running under a penalty is the Jack Jones-trained GOODEVENINGMRBOND, who quickened up smartly to win at Chepstow 10 days ago and, with William Buick now in the saddle, he narrowly edges the vote. Be Here Now is also considered.

GOODEVENINGMRBOND overcame a sluggish start to open his account at Chepstow 10 days ago and a penalty might not be enough to stop him following up such was the authority of that performance. Fellow last-time-out winner Blue Moon Baby is a danger and Be Here Now is going the right way.

The John Quinn-trained BLUE MOON BABY appeared to have much more in hand than the official winning margin at Musselburgh.

Sure to improve (holds Group 2 entry). Looked unlucky at Sandown when made favourite; has a Rockfel entry.
2	4 2nd (4) (1.75/1 -7%) Serene Seraph	1.75 1.75/1(-7%)	(4) Serene Seraph 1.75/1, Blue Point filly who produced a promising first effort when third of 10 in maiden at Doncaster (6.5f, good to firm) 3 months ago, running on but not knocked about. Fancied to be bang there with progress on the cards (holds a Group 2 entry). Debut was back in early June but ran to a smart level behind two Group fillies.
3	8 3rd (8) (12/1 +14%) Times Edition	12 12/1(+14%)	(8) Times Edition 12/1, Foaled February 5. Kingman filly. Closely related to smart 6f winner Classical Times and half-sister to 2 winners, including very smart 2-y-o 1m/8.5f winner Newspaperofrecord. Dam winner up to 7f (2-y-o 6f winner). Wears hood and worth a second look. Good pedigree but the immediate fitting of headgear sets some alarm bells ringing..
4	2 4th (2) (28/1 -155%) Glitterella	28 28/1(-155%)	(2) Glitterella 28/1, Starspangledbanner filly who learnt plenty from debut and left that form behind when runner-up in maiden at Nottingham (6.1f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Could well take another step forward here. Probably up against stronger opposition than when second at Nottingham.
5th	6 5th (6) (8/1 +0%) Spinto Soprano	8 8/1(+0%)	(6) Spinto Soprano 8/1, Foaled February 27. 320,000 gns yearling, Invincible Spirit filly. Dam, 9f-10.4f winner, half-sister to very smart winner up to 1¾m (stayed 2m) Ispolini. Plenty to like on paper. 320,000gns yearling; second foal; dam Listed-placed 1m1f-1m2f winner (RPR 104).
6th	3 6th (3) (28/1 -75%) Santa Croce	28 28/1(-75%)	(3) Santa Croce 28/1, Foaled April 8. Pivotal filly. Sister to smart 5f/6f winner Duke of Firenze and useful 6f winner Duke Cosimo and half-sister to useful 10.3f winner Mulk. Dam 6f (at 2 yrs) to 1m (including Fillies' Mile and Coronation Stakes) winner. Market check needed. Bred to be smart and the stable took this with a newcomer in 2019.
7th	7 7th (7) (50/1 -100%) Sweet Sister	50 50/1(-100%)	(7) Sweet Sister 50/1, Foaled January 24. 40,000 gns yearling, Iffraaj filly. Closely related to useful 6f winner Willem Twee. Dam unraced half-sister to smart winner up to 7f Mehronissa (by Iffraaj). 40,000gns yearling; third foal; closely related to 6f winner Willem Twee (RPR 106).
8th	1 8th (1) (66/1 -65%) Cadogan Gardens	66 66/1(-65%)	(1) Cadogan Gardens 66/1, No Nay Never filly who made an unpromising start to her career when last of 11 at Newbury (6f, good) just under 3 weeks ago. Will need to leave that well behind. Was slow to break and always behind when bringing up the rear at Newbury.
9th	9 9th (9) (80/1 -142%) Westray	80 80/1(-142%)	(9) Westray 80/1, Foaled February 7. Time Test filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart winner up to 7f Gale Force Ten and useful 9f-1½m winner Eynhallow. Dam, 7f (at 2 yrs) to 11f winner, out of winning half-sister to Moyglare Stud Stakes/Lowther Stakes winner Bianca Nera. Positive pedigree but the stable second string according to jockey bookings.

LTO Selection:

Some promising sorts line up in this contest with slight preference for SKELLET, who made a pleasing start to her career when fourth over 7f at Sandown last month. Ralph Beckett's charge was only beaten a length on that occasion and she should only improve for the experience. Serene Seraph looks to be the biggest danger after running with credit when third over an extended 6f at Doncaster in June and that form has worked out very well, while Glitterella heads the remainder.

Plenty of interesting newcomers on show but SERENE SERAPH produced a promising first effort when third in a Doncaster maiden back in June and, with improvement on the cards, she can go a couple of places better at the expense of Skellet, who shaped very well having been supported in the betting on debut at Sandown recently. Spinto Soprano and Westray both look debutantes to note so they round off the shortlist.

With Serene Seraph absent since early June preference is for SKELLET, who looked unlucky not to make a winning start at Sandown.

1	2 1st (2) (5/1 +0%) Swaffham Bulbeck	5 5/1(+0%)	(2) Swaffham Bulbeck 5/1, In good form under both codes and he enhanced his fine record at Fakenham when landing 4-runner handicap hurdle at that venue in April. Ran just respectably back over fences at Worcester (16.5f, soft) 122 days ago and may feature if he's tuned up. Not seen since below-par chase run in May but a possible if fully tuned up.
2	3 2nd (3) (4.5/1 +25%) Nibras Gold	4.5 4.5/1(+25%)	(3) Nibras Gold 4.5/1, Fair stayer on the Flat who doubled his tally in this sphere back from 9 months off (had wind op) in handicap at Ffos Las in May. Good in-the-frame efforts both starts since, runner-up from the front at Newton Abbot (16.7f) 38 days ago. Should go well again. Good second in cheekpieces last time and not yet fully exposed over hurdles; shortlisted.
3	4 3rd (4) (3.5/1 +0%) Pillar Of Steel	3.5 3.5/1(+0%)	(4) Pillar Of Steel 3.5/1, Lightly raced for current yard and produced a career best to land a 7-runner event at Stratford last time. Should go well again. Kept on well to score at Stratford last month; 5lb rise demands a bit more from her.
4	5 4th (5) (5/1 +0%) Lunar Shadow	5 5/1(+0%)	(5) Lunar Shadow 5/1, Fair Flat winner (including at Bath 19 days ago), who won a brace of novice events against her own sex during the middle of 2022. Fit from a fairly productive spell on the level and return to 2m will suit. Unseated at Stratford last month but remains with potential in this sphere. C&D winner last year; still lightly raced over hurdles and returns after recent Flat win.
5th	1 5th (1) (2.5/1 +25%) Hurricane Ali	2.5 2.5/1(+25%)	(1) Hurricane Ali 2.5/1, Genuine individual. 3-time C&D winner. Creditable third of 9 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (16.3f, good, 5/1) 53 days ago. Another solid showing is on the cards. Three-time C&D winner; on a fairly tough mark but ran well last time; probably in the mix.
6th	6 6th (6) (8/1 -60%) Nevendon	8 8/1(-60%)	(6) Nevendon 8/1, Ex-Irish gelding who made a winning debut for new connections when taking 6-runner novice selling hurdle at Stratford in May and placed next 2 starts. Ran well on the FLat last time, so should be thereabouts once more. Gained only hurdle win in a seller but his handicap second in June brings him into this.

LTO Selection:

NEVENDON has yet to run a bad race since switching to Alexandra Dunn from John McConnell in the spring and, having gone close at Bath on the level last month, he could be hard to stop back over hurdles. Lunar Shadow was the winner of the aforementioned race at Bath and looked unlucky when unseating at Stratford prior to that run. Nibras Gold appeared to improve for the application of cheekpieces when last seen and completes the shortlist.

This is competitive for the field size, with a case to be made for all 6, but PILLAR OF STEEL looks the one to side with. She opened her account for her current stable at Stratford last time and there's likely even more to come. Nibras Gold and Hurricane Ali are both obvious dangers.

Triple C&D winner HURRICANE ALI is proven on fast ground and, with hot weather forecast, he might be the answer.

Dam lightly-raced sister to very smart winner up to 1¼m Misty For Me (won Irish 1000 Guineas/Prix Marcel Boussac). Appealing newcomer. 185,000euros 2yo (breeze-ups); with a top trainer; could be in the mix on debut.
3	3 3rd (3) (3/1 +10%) L'Ennemi	3 3/1(+10%)	(3) L'Ennemi 3/1, €190,000 yearling, Siyouni colt.

Much improved from debut when second of 13 in maiden (15/8) at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Can do better again. Runner-up at Beverley on second start and this well-bred colt sets a good form standard.
4	8 4th (8) (7.5/1 -36%) Victorious Street	7.5 7.5/1(-36%)	(8) Victorious Street 7.5/1, Foaled March 5. $90,000 yearling, €370,370 2-y-o, Street Sense colt. Half-brother to winner Pharaoh's Prophecy. Interesting newcomer and yard can ready them first time up. Cost 370,370euros at Dubai breeze-ups in March; could have a part to play on debut.
5th	5 5th (5) (12/1 +0%) Mannerism	12 12/1(+0%)	(5) Mannerism 12/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fifth of 8 in C&D novice (good to firm, 9/2) 27 days ago. This is tougher and he's probably one for handicaps. Promise on both starts; seemingly has his limitations but can give another good account.
6th	1 6th (1) (10/1 -25%) Gulf Legend	10 10/1(-25%)	(1) Gulf Legend 10/1, Foaled April 27. 300,000 gns yearling (private), Dubawi colt. Half-brother to several winners, including very smart French 10.4f-1½m winner Feed The Flame and smart French/US winner up to 9f Sacred Life. Intriguing newcomer. 300,000euros yearling; this well-bred newcomer certainly catches the eye on paper.
7th	6 7th (6) (16/1 -33%) Odin Legacy	16 16/1(-33%)	(6) Odin Legacy 16/1, Foaled March 31. €575,000 yearling, Kodiac colt.

Lots to like on paper and one to note. 575,000euros yearling; interesting newcomer, all the more so if strong in the betting.
8th	2 8th (2) (50/1 +38%) Hawa Jumeirah	50 50/1(+38%)	(2) Hawa Jumeirah 50/1, Universal colt. Dam 2-y-o 5f/5.4f winner. Promise in a couple of maidens. Looks one for handicaps. Soundly beaten sixth on his first two starts and considerable improvement is required.

LTO Selection:

Trainer Charlie Appleby has taken the last two renewals of this contest, which suggests Legend Of Time can go well, although both his previous winners had racecourse experience and the son of Sea The Stars is making his debut. Wafei is another newcomer to consider, but L'ENNEMI brings form to the table which may give him the edge. Second to Magsood when staying on strongly at Beverley latest, the step up to a mile could see him get off the mark.

Usually an informative 1m 2-y-o novice, with L'ENNEMI taken to put his experience to use and open his account. He took a step forward when second at Beverley and seems sure to do better. Cases can be made for all of the newcomers on paper and the betting will be interesting, Legend of Time and Gulf Legend a couple to note in particular.

300,000euros yearling GULF LEGEND has an illustrious pedigree and earns the vote ahead of Godolphin debutant Legend Of Time.

2	3 2nd (3) (8.5/1 -31%) Dorothy Lawrence	8.5 8.5/1(-31%)	(3) Dorothy Lawrence 8.5/1, Useful filly. Winner at Ayr in July. Excellent 1¼ lengths fourth of 8 to Relief Rally in Lowther Stakes (66/1) at York (6f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Merits consideration. Showed plenty of early speed before rallying late on to take fourth in the Group 2 Lowther.

Excellent third of 17 in Albany at Royal Ascot next time and right back on track when second in Sweet Solero Stakes at first-named course (July) on latest outing. Should be thereabouts. Third in the Albany on her last run over 6f; hasn't quite been getting home over 7f.

Went a long way to justifying her price tag immediately when only pushed out to land a 14-runner maiden at Newmarket last month. Has plenty of potential, so worth an early go at this level. Newmarket winner; unexposed for her top yard and holds a Cheveley Park entry.
6th	15 6th (15) (28/1 +30%) Unbreak My Heart	28 28/1(+30%)	(15) Unbreak My Heart 28/1, Confirmed debut promise when winning a 5-runner Bath novice (5f, firm) in June, edging ahead final 100 yds. Promised even more for a long way upped in trip/grade when 8 lengths third of 9 in Newmarket listed event on most recent outing but likely to find several too good here. Only third in a 6f Listed last time and faces an even tougher task at this level.
7th	14 7th (14) (3.33/1 +39%) Symbology	3.33 3.33/1(+39%)	(14) Symbology 3.33/1, £230,000 yearling who overcame inexperience when making a winning debut at York in July and has bettered that form in Group company since, third in the Lowther at York last time. Another bold showing is expected. Improved third in the Group 2 Lowther and she's a strong contender on the back of that.
8th	7 8th (7) (3/1 -20%) Miaharris	3 3/1(-20%)	(7) Miaharris 3/1, A big-money climber as a breezer who looked an exciting prospect when scoring on debut and added weight to that theory when getting up late to land a listed contest at Newbury last time. Still a good deal more to come and she's clearly the one to beat. Overcame a slow start and trouble in running to win a Newbury Listed last time.
9th	2 9th (2) (80/1 -142%) Betties Bay	80 80/1(-142%)	(2) Betties Bay 80/1, Off the mark at third time of asking in 12-runner maiden at Newbury in July. That form has worked out but she was only fifth at Goodwood next time and faces a stiff task in this company. Soft no good last time; even on the form of her Newbury win she's opposable at this level.
10th	10 10th (10) (40/1 -21%) Onthemoneyhoney	40 40/1(-21%)	(10) Onthemoneyhoney 40/1, Related to a couple of winners and made the ideal start when overcoming a slow start to score at Windsor 45 days ago. This is a major step up but she has potential. Windsor winner but that form is no real advert for her prospects at this level.
11th	11 11th (11) (50/1 -178%) Propitious	50 50/1(-178%)	(11) Propitious 50/1, Promising sort who made it 2 from 2 when landing the odds under a penalty at Redcar. More to come and looks pretty straightforward, so could compete for a place. Speedy filly who is 2-2 but whether she's up to this loftier level is probably unlikely.
12th	8 12th (8) (100/1 +0%) Miss Mach One	100 100/1(+0%)	(8) Miss Mach One 100/1, Off the mark at Windsor in August but failed to back it up when only second at Southwell 10 days ago and looks out of her depth here. Now returns to her winning distance but she has a lot to find.

LTO Selection:

A case can be made for several of these, but MIAHARRIS made it two from two when gamely seeing off Majestic Beauty over 5f at Newbury last month. The nature of that success left the impression that she has more to offer and, with Oisin Murphy on board once again, the daughter of Zoustar is of significant interest. That said, Majestic Beauty is still feared, while the grade-dropping Dorothy Lawrence and Symbology are just two others with claims.

MIAHARRIS managed to maintain her unbeaten record despite adverse circumstances at Newbury 20 days ago and she's likely to take another big step forward, so she's a confident choice to go in again. Symbology is an obvious player after an excellent third in the Lowther at York, while Soprano is likely to be on the premises again.

Plenty to consider but SOPRANO (nap) appeals most on this return to sprinting. She has been racing too exuberantly over 7f.

Not disgraced off a stiff opening mark when eighth at Market Rasen (18.6f, good to firm) last month but more needed to get involved. Won a Worcester maiden in May but he's struggled under both codes since and is now 1-16.

In first-time hood, progressed from that effort when also third at Worcester next time but unable to repeat that on his first handicap start 2 weeks ago. Lightly raced 4yo but he was disappointing on his handicap debut at Stratford last month.

Has struggled to string back-to-back solid efforts together however, so best to look elsewhere. 0-37 but he was placed at Stratford last time and could be in the mix again.
6th	1 6th (1) (2.25/1 +18%) Champagne Town	2.25 2.25/1(+18%)	(1) Champagne Town 2.25/1, Winning pointer who got back on track in a first-time hood when runner-up at this track (20.4f, good) back in May. Headgear surprisingly left off, but every chance he will be in the mix back down in trip provided he's ready to roll (has had another wind op since last seen). Runner-up over 2m4f here in May; has had wind surgery since and he's respected on return.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (40/1 -21%) Allibaba	40 40/1(-21%)	(4) Allibaba 40/1, Fair form when placed both starts in bumpers for Willie Mullins but little show over hurdles so far, including on handicap debut after 6 months off at Bangor (16.7f, good) recently. Can only be watched. Didn't last long with Willie Mullins and he's struggled for current yard; plenty to prove.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (40/1 -21%) Beat The Storm	40 40/1(-21%)	(9) Beat The Storm 40/1, Modest maiden on Flat for William Knight but yet to offer any encouragement over hurdles, including after a breathing operation at Stratford (18.7f, good to soft) 9 weeks ago. 0-13 under both codes and tailed off in all of his five hurdle runs; 6lb out of weights.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (40/1 +39%) Kalyptra	40 40/1(+39%)	(7) Kalyptra 40/1, Fair efforts initially over hurdles but hasn't shown much for several different yards since going down the handicap route, including over fences this season. First-time cheekpieces failed to have an impact back hurdling last time and he's an easy swerve. Ten-race maiden who has been pulled up in three of his last four handicaps; opposable.

LTO Selection:

EZ TIGER opened his account with a cosy victory over C&D in July and, despite a 3lb rise, he looks the safest option in a weak affair. The likeliest danger appears to be top-weight Champagne Town, who has not been seen since finishing second here in May but has had wind surgery since and he may go well. Star Legend failed to fire on his handicap debut at Stratford a fortnight ago but he could be worth another chance.

EZ TIGER belatedly got off the mark over C&D a couple of months ago and having been nudged up just 3 lb, he's fancied to follow up at the expense of Champagne Town, who was runner-up at this venue when last seen back in May and returns on the back of a second breathing operation. Naasik and handicap debutante Horizon Dove can do battle for third spot.

1	2 1st (2) (2.25/1 +18%) Chic Colombine	2.25 2.25/1(+18%)	(2) Chic Colombine 2.25/1, 2/5, won 7-runner maiden at Newcastle (7.1f) 70 days ago, driven out. Could kick on now handicapping. AW maiden winner; William Buick booked for nursery debut and she's one to consider.
2	1 2nd (1) (6/1 +29%) Commander Crouch	6 6/1(+29%)	(1) Commander Crouch 6/1, Fair maiden. Good fifth of 15 in sales race (100/1) at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago, nearest finish. Has a race in him on that showing. Fifth of 15 in Newmarket sales race last time and the step back up to 7f could be a plus.
3	7 3rd (7) (33/1 +0%) John Steed	33 33/1(+0%)	(7) John Steed 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 11/1, seventh of 10 in nursery at Kempton (6f) 29 days ago. Must improve. Runner-up at Bath on debut in May but hasn't gone on from that.
4	4 4th (4) (16/1 -14%) Daring Legend	16 16/1(-14%)	(4) Daring Legend 16/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 10 in maiden (14/1) at Ffos Las (7.4f, heavy) 30 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Stamina to prove. Best run came on sole AW start, but a possible improver on nursery debut; has been gelded.
5th	8 5th (8) (4/1 -60%) The Bitter Moose	4 4/1(-60%)	(8) The Bitter Moose 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Very good third of 7 in nursery (8/1) at Epsom (7f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Second won next time and he's one to consider. Third at Epsom despite not looking at home on the camber; could have more to offer.
6th	5 6th (5) (3.5/1 +22%) Dan Dee Prince	3.5 3.5/1(+22%)	(5) Dan Dee Prince 3.5/1, Winner at Leicester in August from Doubletalk. 9/2, creditable second of 8 in nursery at Newcastle (7.1f) 7 days ago, well positioned. Big player again down in grade nudged up 2 lb. A win and a good second in nurseries the last twice; on the upgrade.
7th	6 7th (6) (5/1 -11%) Doubletalk	5 5/1(-11%)	(6) Doubletalk 5/1, Winner at Beverley in August. 6/1, good 2¼ lengths second of 10 to Dan Dee Prince in nursery at Leicester (7f, good to firm) 15 days ago, well positioned. Can make presence felt again. Made all at Beverley then 2nd at Leicester; needs another step forward but it's possible.

LTO Selection:

In a tricky contest it may be best to side with William Buick here as he takes the ride on Newcastle winner CHIC COLOMBINE, who travelled well throughout to land the odds over this trip. A mark of 74 for her nursery debut seems fair enough and she may follow up. The Bitter Moose was unlucky when third at Epsom and looks a danger to all if he can repeat that level, leaving Doubletalk and Dan Dee Prince as the pick of the remainder.

THE BITTER MOOSE ran well behind a subsequent winner at Epsom 3 weeks ago, proving his stamina for 7f in the process, and could be the way to go off the same mark. Leicester 1-2 Dan Dee Prince and Doubletalk are firmly in the mix, while Commander Crouch excelled himself in a big-field Newmarket sales contest recently and is up to winning a race.

The Epsom camber didn't appear to suit THE BITTER MOOSE on his nursery debut but he still finished third and gets the nod.

1	3 1st (3) (6.5/1 -18%) Frankness	6.5 6.5/1(-18%)	(3) Frankness 6.5/1, Gained third career succes at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) in June before shaping well in the 3-y-o 5f handicap at Royal Ascot (met trouble, finished strongly) subsequently. Caught in poor position at Newmarket last time, and though drawn high again here, she shouldn't be ruled out. Below best last time but has plenty in her favour now returning from a break.
2	2 2nd (2) (8/1 -7%) Al Simmo	8 8/1(-7%)	(2) Al Simmo 8/1, Denied only narrowly on return from 9-month absence in good event at York in June but wasn't quite in the same form when last in the Group 3 Summer Stakes there (6f, good to firm, 16/1) 55 days ago. Not ruled out of being able to bounce back. Not had much racing since second in this last year; probably remains in good form.
3	11 3rd (11) (8/1 +43%) Shades Of Summer	8 8/1(+43%)	(11) Shades Of Summer 8/1, Gained third success at Chelmsford City in April and ran at least as well when fourth there (6f) 60 days ago. Capable of giving a good account on first outing since leaving James Tate. Three AW wins; makes stable debut after a break and from 4lb out of the weights.
4	6 4th (6) (7/1 +13%) Katey Kontent	7 7/1(+13%)	(6) Katey Kontent 7/1, Creditable effort when third of 9 on her handicap debut at Newbury (5.2f, good) 19 days ago but doesn't appeal as any more than averagely treated and can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. All races have been over 5f but this far is worth a go; third on handicap debut latest.
5th	4 5th (4) (5/1 +29%) Jumbeau	5 5/1(+29%)	(4) Jumbeau 5/1, In good heart present, placed on each of her last 4 outings, just failing when second of 7 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good to firm) 27 days ago. This contest is a little bit deeper but she's almost certain to give another good account. Handicapper seems to have her measure but should give her running once more.
6th	7 6th (7) (20/1 +9%) Sweet Harmony	20 20/1(+9%)	(7) Sweet Harmony 20/1, Opened account in Yarmouth maiden last summer but has made little impact since, not faring any better for the return to more realisitic company when last of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good) 48 days ago. Visor now applied. Often highly tried but has offered little in handicaps the last twice.
7th	1 7th (1) (5.5/1 -65%) The Big Board	5.5 5.5/1(-65%)	(1) The Big Board 5.5/1, Much improved in 2023 and bagged her third win at Ascot in July. Fared best of those that raced up with the pace when fourth in Constantine Handicap at York (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago and she sets a good standard. High in the weights but better than ever when fourth of 17 at York.
8th	9 8th (9) (11/1 -38%) Crazy Luck	11 11/1(-38%)	(9) Crazy Luck 11/1, Narrowly beaten at Windsor in May and produced his best effort since from just of the weights when fourth of 6 in handicap at Goodwood (6f, soft, 13/2) 11 days ago. On a good mark if able to put everything together. 3lb below her last winning mark and gives her running more often than not.
9th	8 9th (8) (12/1 +40%) Cuban Breeze	12 12/1(+40%)	(8) Cuban Breeze 12/1, In good heart this summer, placed 5 times, though form may just be tailing off after a busy spell, albeit failing to stay when stepped up to 7f at York last time. Blinkers go back on but others are preferred. Needs to step up on recent efforts and tends to do her winning at a lower level.
10th	5 10th (5) (4.5/1 +25%) Candle Of Hope	4.5 4.5/1(+25%)	(5) Candle Of Hope 4.5/1, Ran well returned to sprinting at Glorious Goodwood last month and shaped as if still in good heart when sixth of 18 in handicap at York (7f, good to firm) 14 days ago, though again her finishing effort left something to be desired. Others preferred. Perhaps better over further now, with her fifth of 29 at Royal Ascot coming over 1m.

LTO Selection:

This could go the way of AL SIMMO, who is now rated just 2lb higher than when only narrowly denied over this distance at York on her penultimate outing. The six-year-old is fancied to bounce back from her effort in the Group 3 Summer Stakes when last seen in July and she can get the better of The Big Board, who finished a creditable fourth at York last month. Jumbeau is another to bear in mind stepping up in class.

THE BIG BOARD has proved most progressive this season and fared the best of those to force the pace when fourth in the Constantine Handicap at the Ebor meeting last month. This should represent an easier task for Richard Hannon's filly, though Frankness remains one to keep on the right side of and can pose a threat, with the consitent Jumbeau completing the placings.

A few with chances but KATEY KONTENT is worth trying over 6f for the first time judged on her encouraging last run at Newbury.

1	4 1st (4) (0.73/1 +20%) Astar	0.73 0.73/1(+20%)	(4) Astar 0.73/1, Fairly useful filly. Remains a maiden after 7 Flat runs. 5/1, good second of 13 in handicap at Galway (12.4f, heavy) 38 days ago. Back down in trip. Stable having good spell. Another bold show likely. Model of consistency; trip/ground okay and the one to beat on overall form.
2	8 2nd (8) (22/1 +33%) Stariam	22 22/1(+33%)	(8) Stariam 22/1, 17/2, twelfth of 13 in maiden at Gowran (9.6f, heavy) on debut. Off 142 days. Dropped out quickly on Gowran debut back in April and has been given time off since.
3	7 3rd (7) (18/1 +10%) Sarah Purser	18 18/1(+10%)	(7) Sarah Purser 18/1, 20/1, third of 10 in maiden at Gowran (8f, soft) on debut 40 days ago. Up in trip. Gowran debut promise and longer trip could suit but more likely needed.
4	1 4th (1) (100/1 +0%) Dorset Lady	100 100/1(+0%)	(1) Dorset Lady 100/1, Tenth of 12 in maiden (100/1) at Cork (12f, good to soft) on Flat debut 8 days ago. Drop in trip here may suit but likely to be of more interest in handicaps down the line.
5th	5 5th (5) (3/1 +0%) Lady Meis	3 3/1(+0%)	(5) Lady Meis 3/1, Thrice-raced filly. 4/1, second of 9 in maiden at Gowran (9.4f, good) 22 days ago. Trainer going well. On the upgrade. Just denied over this trip at Gowran on similar ground; big run anticipated again here.
6th	3 6th (3) (11/1 -29%) As Fast As Wind	11 11/1(-29%)	(3) As Fast As Wind 11/1, Fair filly. 25/1, creditable second of 14 in maiden at Bellewstown (12.1f, good to soft) 62 days ago, no match for winner. First run for yard after leaving Adrian Murray. Visor on 1st time. Useful form for Adrian Murray; place prospects on debut for new connections.
7th	9 7th (9) (4.5/1 +44%) Time To Soar	4.5 4.5/1(+44%)	(9) Time To Soar 4.5/1, Lightly-raced filly. 14/1, creditable third of 9 in maiden at Gowran (9.4f, good) 22 days ago. Bit to find with Lady Meis on recent Gowran run but should be thereabouts.
8th	2 8th (2) (125/1 -89%) Hopkins	125 125/1(-89%)	(2) Hopkins 125/1, Twice-raced filly on Flat. Last of 5 in maiden (100/1) at Cork (10f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Some level of ability in two flat maidens but looks more of a handicap prospect.

LTO Selection:

ASTAR is becoming a touch frustrating but may be able to gain an overdue win here. The Sea The Stars filly has been placed on her last five outings and the form of her runner-up effort at Galway last time has worked out well. She chased home the progressive Youcrackmeup in handicap company then. The winner has followed up since while the third horse, Fratas, has gone on to win twice. Her mark of 80 sets the standard. Lady Meis is the potential improver in the field and could be the danger. She ran a big race when just pipped at the line in Gowran last time and that was a step forward from her first two outings. The 75-rated As Fast As Wind, who was second at Bellewstown last time, is another for the shortlist in this company.

ASTAR has been knocking pretty loudly on the door this season and this looks a great chance for him to open his account. Lady Meis is going the right way and looks the obvious danger.

Runner-up in four of her last five starts ASTAR can gain a deserved win here, although Lady Meis could push her close

However, failed to repeat that effort next time and off 12 months since (has had a wind op). Has left Dr Richard Newland ahead of his handicap debut. Handicap newcomer but he has something to prove after 360 days off; had wind surgery.
2	3 2nd (3) (3/1 +73%) Frisco Queen	3 3/1(+73%)	(3) Frisco Queen 3/1, Signs of ability when trained by Shane Crawley in Ireland and, after 7 months off, shaped better than previously on her stable debut when seventh of 11 in handicap at Market Rasen in May last year. Has further 15-month absence to overcome, though. Well held in all of his completed starts and can only be watched back from 476 days off.
3	9 3rd (9) (10/1 -67%) Cawthorne Cracker	10 10/1(-67%)	(9) Cawthorne Cracker 10/1, Hasn't offered much in a trio of junior hurdles to date, again finishing well held when fifth of 6 at Wetherby in February. Needs to leave previous efforts well behind as he goes handicapping. Struggled in three juvenile hurdles last winter and needs improvement on handicap debut.
4	2 4th (2) (8/1 -60%) Abraaj	8 8/1(-60%)	(2) Abraaj 8/1, Fairly useful on the Flat in France and showed that he retains ability when runner-up on the level at Kempton (2m) in June. In first-time cheekpieces in this sphere, finished second in maiden at Market Rasen last time, albeit beaten a long way. More needed now handicapping. Unexposed over hurdles and was an encouraging second at Market Rasen latest; in the mix.
5th	1 5th (1) (3.5/1 +46%) Skeeter Park	3.5 3.5/1(+46%)	(1) Skeeter Park 3.5/1, Showed more than previously on his third start in maiden hurdles when runner-up at this course (20.4f) in June and progressed again when fourth on handicap debut back here the following month. Disappointing last time, but worth another chance returned to this venue. Bit to prove but he raced freely last time and this drop back to 2m is worth exploring.
6th	5 6th (5) (6/1 +50%) Asa	6 6/1(+50%)	(5) Asa 6/1, Fair form over hurdles on her only start in France, but hasn't progressed for her current yard. After 4 months off, never involved when seventh of 10 in handicap at Bangor 17 days ago. Continues to fall in the weights but more needed to take advantage. No impact in five handicaps and was tailed off at Bangor last month; others preferred.
7th	6 7th (6) (4/1 -45%) Tally's Son	4 4/1(-45%)	(6) Tally's Son 4/1, Produced his best effort in this sphere when runner-up from 6 lb out of the weights at Newton Abbot in June and belatedly built on that promise when going one better at Stratford 2 weeks ago. Leading contender. Has record of 2-54 but his last win was at Stratford two weeks ago; respected up just 2lb.
8th	8 8th (8) (14/1 -250%) Rogue Mission	14 14/1(-250%)	(8) Rogue Mission 14/1, Fair winner at 10f on the Flat for Tom Clover but hasn't made much impact in four runs over hurdles so far. However, he could yet do better now making his handicap hurdle debut after 11 months off. Returns from 339 days off but he needs checking in market on his handicap hurdle debut.

LTO Selection:

Tally's Son sprung a surprise when winning at odds of 33-1 at Stratford a fortnight ago and he merits the utmost respect from just 2lb higher. Abraaj moves into handicap company from a potentially workable mark and it would be no surprise to see him improve, but a chance is taken on ASA. Philip Kirby's filly has shown signs of promise and is now 17lb below her opening mark. With a recent spin at Bangor under her belt, she could take a step forward.

Ridden with a touch more restraint than of late, TALLY'S SON opened his account in this sphere at Stratford a fortnight ago and he can score again now that he's up and running. The biggest threat could come from Skeeter Park, who can leave a lesser effort behind back at this course, while Rogue Mission is an interesting contender on handicap debut.

LTO Selection:

One Of Our Own ran down RAINBOW RAIN late on when scoring over this trip at Redcar last month, but Tracy Waggott's inmate could reverse that form. The gelded son of Acclamation has been knocking on the door of late and, with more progression likely, could be worth siding with. Fellow last-time-out winner Dream Deal is another to consider off 4lb higher.

RAINBOW RAIN was denied by only a neck by One of Our Own at Redcar last time and, on better terms, he's fancied to reverse form with that rival with a visor refitted. Dream Deal is another one to consider but the majority are out of sorts.

With Tom Eaves back in the saddle, the consistent RAINBOW RAIN is taken to turn the tables on his Redcar conqueror One Of Our Own.

Looked in the grip of the assessor when only sixth of 8 on handicap debut at Ascot (12f, good to soft) 55 days ago and others possess greater scope for progress. Too soon to write her off but others have more compelling credentials.
4	4 4th (4) (1.38/1 +8%) Royal Mila	1.38 1.38/1(+8%)	(4) Royal Mila 1.38/1, Well-bred filly responded really well for pressure when winning 10-runner novice at Goodwood on debut and didn't need to improve to double up in similar company at Windsor (10f, good to firm, 1/4) 80 days ago. Open to plenty of progress now handicapping. 2-2 and remains to be seen where limitations lie; firmly in calculations on handicap debut.
5th	6 5th (6) (3/1 +33%) Zarga	3 3/1(+33%)	(6) Zarga 3/1, Steadily progressive this year, taking another step forward to get off the mark in an 8-runner event at Windsor (10f, good, 3/1) in July. Failed to meet expectations when only fourth at Sandown (9f, good) 18 days ago, her response to pressure underwhelming, but still shouldn't be ruled out. Won at Windsor then fourth at Sandown; needs more today but may yet progress further.
6th	3 6th (3) (22/1 -10%) Mappatassie	22 22/1(-10%)	(3) Mappatassie 22/1, Looked quite useful in 2 outings in France last year and might have needed the outing when well held on her Newbury reappearance in July. Unexposed now handicapping but this demands improvement. Very lightly raced French winner, but well beaten on stable debut in July.

LTO Selection:

Charlie Appleby launches a two-pronged assault with Veil Of Shadows and SAPPHIRE SEAS, and the latter is preferred. The daughter of Frankel thumped a subsequent Listed winner and Group-placed rival in a Kempton novice 155 days ago, so an opening mark of 94 doesn't look beyond a filly who has the potential to become Pattern class. The unbeaten Royal Mila, who struck at Windsor last time, looks a big danger to the selection, while Zarga should not be underestimated either.

A potentially deep contest despite the small field, with the unbeaten ROYAL MILA fancied to confirm the abundant promise of her 2 novice successes now switching to handicaps. Sapphire Seas also looked a fine prospect when winning twice on all-weather earlier in the year and, after an absence, heads into handicaps with plenty to be positive about, whilst her stablemate Veil of Shadows only went down to a similarly unexposed sort last time and should also find herself in the mix.

Preference is for Godolphin's SAPPHIRE SEAS who was impressive in a Kempton novice in April when last seen. Royal Mila is a danger.

1	2 1st (2) (2/1 +27%) Just Bring It	2 2/1(+27%)	(2) Just Bring It 2/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Career best when winning 13-runner handicap (9/1) at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 21 days ago, battling well and comfortably on top at the finish. Sound claims again from 3 lb higher mark. Can upgrade his Windsor win as the race didn't go entirely to plan; up 3lb.
2	6 2nd (6) (1.25/1 +17%) Garden Route	1.25 1.25/1(+17%)	(6) Garden Route 1.25/1, Landed cramped odds (gelded/following wind op) on return in a Windsor novice (1m) in June. Couldn't build on that faced with much softer ground when sixth of 15 in strong-looking handicap at Goodwood (9.9f) 5 weeks ago. This less demanding with cheekpieces on. Odds-on novice winner; plenty of excuses on his handicap debut at Glorious Goodwood.
3	4 3rd (4) (12/1 +0%) Sly Madam	12 12/1(+0%)	(4) Sly Madam 12/1, C&D winner who ran well when runner-up at Epsom (8.5f) on penultimate start and similar form when creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Sandown (9f) 18 days ago. Likely to give her best again but likely has her work cut out against a host of 3-y-os here. Comes here in good form but might just be vulnerable to something better treated.
4	5 4th (5) (28/1 -56%) Oj Lifestyle	28 28/1(-56%)	(5) Oj Lifestyle 28/1, Caused a big upset in a maiden at Newbury on second start last summer. Matched that form when second on AW in December but beaten a long way in 2 handicaps at Ascot this summer. Betting may prove a useful guide on the back of a 55-day break. Getting back on faster ground could be a good thing but he's risky at the minute.
5th	3 5th (3) (3.5/1 +13%) Resolute Man	3.5 3.5/1(+13%)	(3) Resolute Man 3.5/1, Yarmouth novice winner (7f) only start at 2 yrs. Similar form in defeat on first 2 starts this year and, having been gelded, he took a step forward when third of 8 on handicap debut at Lingfield (7f) 23 days ago, keeping on final 100 yds. Could do better still now upped to 1m. Closing third over 7f at Lingfield last time and he's ready for a mile.

LTO Selection:

Sly Madam is a course and distance winner but may have to settle for a place as she is 4lb above her last winning mark. GARDEN ROUTE was an easy winner at Windsor over this trip in June before finding softer ground and 1m2f beyond him at Goodwood last time. Dropped in both class and trip in first-time cheekpieces, the son of Galileo could well bounce back to his best, with Resolute Man the likeliest to follow him home on his second start following a gelding operation.

GARDEN ROUTE may have found his latest Goodwood assignment coming too soon in his development but he'd previously looked a useful prospect when making all on return at Windsor so, back in calmer waters/returned to quicker ground, he gets the nod to come out on top for his leading stable. Windsor-scorer Just Bring It and Resolute Man can give the selection most to think about.

Although a beaten favourite in all his runs this season, RESOLUTE MAN isn't one to give up on now stepped up to 1m.

Second of 8 in maiden (12/1) at Leopardstown (9f, good) 21 days ago, slowly away. Difficult to oppose. Just denied over slightly shorter at Leopardstown; looks the one to beat.
2	2 2nd (2) (4/1 +0%) Expound	4 4/1(+0%)	(2) Expound 4/1, Fairly useful gelding. 9/2, good third of 13 in handicap at Tipperary (12.5f, soft) 27 days ago, finding less than looked likely. Back down in trip. Consistent sort for Denis Hogan including second over this trip at Ballinrobe; contender.
3	4 3rd (4) (12/1 +52%) Just Delayed	12 12/1(+52%)	(4) Just Delayed 12/1, 5,000 gns yearling, Postponed gelding. Half-brother to 7f winner Ashamaly and useful 2-y-o 5f winner Zeb Un Nisa. Newcomer worth a market watch in a maiden which may not take much winning.
4	3 4th (3) (25/1 +11%) Indulging	25 25/1(+11%)	(3) Indulging 25/1, Fair gelding. Remains a maiden after 11 Flat runs. Blinkers on, ninth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft, 10/1) 26 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Best efforts on the flat have been over shorter; hard to see hm playing a major role.
5th	1 5th (1) (80/1 -100%) Boots And Jeans	80 80/1(-100%)	(1) Boots And Jeans 80/1, Making Flat debut. 15/2, pulled up in novice hurdle at Roscommon (16.2f, good) on hurdles bow 87 days ago, shaped as if amiss.

7th	5 7th (5) (80/1 -142%) Mr Sundancer	80 80/1(-142%)	(5) Mr Sundancer 80/1, Making Flat debut. Twelfth of 14 in handicap hurdle (25/1) at Killarney (17f, good) 49 days ago. Bumper winner in Britain is 0-7 hurdling and unlikely type to make an impact here.

LTO Selection:

THIS SONGISFORYOU can gain compensation here having lost out narrowly in a tight three-way finish at Leopardstown last month. The US-bred gelding has been knocking on the door recently and also ran well when third at Galway earlier last month. Obviously it would be dangerous to take too literally his short-head defeat by the 105-rated Up And Under last time but he has certainly shown a level where he can win a race of this standard. Expound has the top mark of those with an official rating and has been hitting the crossbar. It would be disappointing though if This Songisforyou couldn't surpass his mark of 73. Awqaat ran well when fourth in a Naas maiden last time and could be place material.

This is short of THIS SONGISFORYOU's optimum trip but he's very likely to get away with it in a race lacking strength in depth. Nostringsttached and Expound look set to chase the selection home.

Having just failed to get up at Leopardstown last month THIS SONGISFORYOU looks the one to beat here

Followed up over the same C&D last time and while this is tougher, she clearly goes well for Tom Broughton and merits respect as she bids to complete the hat-trick. Has won under Tom Broughton over C&D in her last two starts; respected in hat-trick bid.
2	1 2nd (1) (2.5/1 +29%) Broomfields Cave	2.5 2.5/1(+29%)	(1) Broomfields Cave 2.5/1, Point winner justified support when shedding his maiden tag over C&D in June. Set to finish the frame before making a late blunder when fifth at Worcester last time, and provided jumping issues don't rear their head again, he should be in the mix. Has had some jumping issues since his C&D win in June but he still has potential.
3	7 3rd (7) (25/1 +50%) Prussia With Love	25 25/1(+50%)	(7) Prussia With Love 25/1, Fair 19f hurdles winner at his best for Dan Skelton but has cleared been tricky to train since and showed very little under a considerate ride after yet another stable switch when down the field at Worcester last month. Has been out of sorts for three different yards in last five runs and can only be watched.
4	2 4th (2) (6/1 -71%) Pardon Me	6 6/1(-71%)	(2) Pardon Me 6/1, Won back to back at Uttoxeter last autumn and made it 3 wins from her last 4 starts when forging clear to score at Market Rasen (23.1f, good) 32 days ago. That effort rated as a career best and Wadge retains the ride, so plenty to like about her chances. 10yo who has won three of her last four including at Market Rasen last month; respected.
4	4 \|U\| (4) (3.5/1 +0%) Lelantos	3.5 3.5/1(+0%)	(4) Lelantos 3.5/1, Built on a good second at Uttoxeter in July to get off the mark for the season at Newton Abbot (26.5f, good) last month. Seen to good effect to score there but merits respect again from 3 lb higher mark. Won at Newton Abbot latest but that was a very narrow success and this looks tougher.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (7.5/1 +0%) Gamesters Girl	7.5 7.5/1(+0%)	(8) Gamesters Girl 7.5/1, Low-mileage mare ran respectably on her return to action when third of 9 in novice hurdle at Bangor (19.6f, good) 34 days ago. This step up in trip promises to suit and she's not discounted back handicapping with tongue strap applied. 0-7 but she shaped like a stayer when third at Bangor (2m3f, good) latest; not ruled out.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (18/1 +45%) Here We Have It	18 18/1(+45%)	(6) Here We Have It 18/1, Out of sorts since landing a handicap chase here in December and recent efforts over hurdles haven't provided any further encouragement, Has been in the doldrums since a chase win here in December and he has plenty to prove.

LTO Selection:

The Fergal O'Brien team have been in good form of late, and BLUE SANS could provide them with another success. She arrives here having notched up a brace of C&D victories, the latest of which came from 4lb lower, and the in-form mare can now land her hat-trick. The veteran Pardon Me powered clear to record a comfortable win at Market Rasen last time and she merits respect, along with recent Newton Abbot scorer Lelantos.

Little separating those at the fore of this handicap, with BROOMFIELDS CAVE narrowly getting the verdict, his mark still appealing as workable on the back of his efforts since scoring over C&D. Pardon Me is in the form of her life and is also shortlisted, whilst Blue Sans and Lelantos also merit plenty of respect in a trappy contest.

LTO Selection:

Only denied by three-quarters of a length over this trip at Musselburgh last month, SERGEANT MAYER gets the nod in a contest lacking depth. The gelded son of Soldier's Call kept on well on that occasion and likely has more to offer, so he is taken to get the better of Lazareti, who makes her handicap debut following a fair run for third at Pontefract most recently. Space Ninja looks best of the rest.

SERGEANT MAYER was nicely clear of the rest when runner-up at Musselburgh last week and from the same mark he's the most persuasive option. Space Ninja also arrives on the back of a personal best and he heads the opposition, with Rock Lodge another to consider.

This looks a good opportunity for SERGEANT MAYER, who can race off the same mark as when an excellent recent Musseburgh nursery second

Not ideally placed when fourth of 11 in handicap (10/1) at Redcar (14f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Can give another good account back down in trip with cheekpieces on 1st time.

Dropping in the weights but needs to find more upped in trip. Struggled in handicaps this summer; longer trip should be fine but has a good bit to prove.

LTO Selection:

MOVIE STAR LOOKS showed a determined attitude when making all at Leicester last time and a 4lb hike in the ratings might not be enough to stop Clive Cox's charge from following up. Typical Woman wasn't disgraced at Southwell 10 days ago. She is reunited with William Buick, who won on her over C&D two starts ago, and that can only be viewed as a positive. Ready To Shine and Real Terms can chase the pair home.

REAL TERMS ran well when third at Ayr last time, despite needing the emphasis more on stamina, so she is taken to return to winning ways as she goes back up in trip. She can get the better of Typical Woman, whose both previous victories have come with William Buick in the saddle, while Movie Star Looks would be dangerous if able to get an easy lead.

The lightly raced MOVIE STAR LOOKS (nap) remains on a workable mark following her recent small-field win and can follow up.

Effort flattened out after a big move into contention at Windsor last time, so he could fare better in first-time cheekpieces.
8th	9 8th (9) (25/1 -79%) Gert Lush	25 25/1(-79%)	(9) Gert Lush 25/1, With her reappearance run behind her, looked at least as good as ever when getting back to winning ways at Sandown (9f) in May. Backed up that effort when second at Chepstow (10f) a month later and she can give another good account.

LTO Selection:

There may be more to come from Alice Knyvet after she got off the mark at Leicester recently, but others may improve past her here. Ryan Moore rode LE MANS into second over 7f at Kempton last month and is back on board as the daughter of Kodiac steps up in trip. If Richard Hannon's filly sees out the distance, then she may have more to offer on just her third start. Tudor may be happier at this trip and is another to consider seriously.

ALICE KNYVET got the better of a determined rival when opening her account at Leicester 15 days ago and, with the potential for further progress to come upped in trip, she is taken to score again. Le Mans has shown promise amidst greenness on her 2 starts so far and is feared most on her handicap debut, while Monty Bay also merits consideration.

A few with chances in a trappy finale but MONTY BAY gets the nod having seen out his last two races on the front foot.

LTO Selection:

FLORIDA TAIGA ran really well over slightly further at Navan recently and looks capable of winning a handicap off this kind of mark. The daughter of Free Eagle finished off well to take third behind Stay Local and the first-time blinkers then seemed to work well. A tongue-tie is also added now and if that can extract anymore improvement if may get her over the line. Chica Linda comes here in winning form having scored at Sligo last month and she looks an obvious danger. Jeaniemacaroney won a barrier trial last year and shaped with promise when third on her racecourse bow at Gowran. She hasn't quite shown that level in two runs this term but could get closer now off a lowly enough mark on her handicap debut.

FLORIDA TAIGA produced her best effort so far sporting first-time blinkers after 3 months off when third at Navan last Saturday and, provided she copes with this quick turnaround, Dermot Weld's filly is fancied to get off the mark with a tongue tie added. The main threat may emerge from Jeaniemacaroney, who looks just the type to do better in handicaps, with recent winner Chica Linda rounding off the shortlist.

It was a career best from FLORIDA TAIGA when beaten a length at Navan last week and if she comes on for that, she may be hard to beat

4	3 4th (3) (12/1 -20%) Dark Crusade	12 12/1(-20%)	(3) Dark Crusade 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 11/4, third of 5 in handicap at Catterick (5f, good to firm) on reappearance 89 days ago. Returns to action with his yard among the winners. Less exposed than a lot of these and one to note in the betting. Reappeared with encouraging run at Catterick and this stiffer track could be a positive.

Cheekpieces on now. Hard to make a case for. Very lightly raced; promising debut over C&D last June but has failed to shine since.
6th	1 6th (1) (2/1 +20%) Cavalier Approach	2 2/1(+20%)	(1) Cavalier Approach 2/1, First run since leaving Ruth Carr when winning 7-runner handicap at Hamilton (5f, good to soft, 10/3) 13 days ago, keeping on well. Could easily have more to offer for his new yard. Won on recent stable debut at Hamilton and could have more to offer for the yard.
7th	11 7th (11) (11/1 -47%) Birdie Bowers	11 11/1(-47%)	(11) Birdie Bowers 11/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Good second of 11 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good, 13/2) 11 days ago. Merits consideration. Inconsistent but runner-up on three of his last five starts and could be thereabouts.
8th	4 8th (4) (6.5/1 +7%) Triple Jaye	6.5 6.5/1(+7%)	(4) Triple Jaye 6.5/1, Fourth of 9 in handicap (10/1) at Nottingham (5f, good to soft) 23 days ago, possibly deserving of extra credit for racing away from where the main action unfolded. Step back in the right direction when fourth at Nottingham and she's not ruled out.
9th	5 9th (5) (8.5/1 -21%) Sixcor	8.5 8.5/1(-21%)	(5) Sixcor 8.5/1, Won 10-runner handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm) 9 days ago, getting on top towards the finish. 5 lb penalty demands more of him. Won at Musselburgh last Tuesday and he's entitled to respect under a 5lb penalty.
10th	6 10th (6) (12/1 -41%) One Last Hug	12 12/1(-41%)	(6) One Last Hug 12/1, Three wins from 11 runs this year, the latest at Ayr in July. 7/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good) 26 days ago. Can make presence felt under Fanning. His wins have come at Ayr but three of them have been this year; dangerous to dismiss.

LTO Selection:

BIRDIE BOWERS took a big step forward when filling the runner-up spot over this trip at Beverley most recently and he is fancied to go one better off a 1lb raised mark. Sixcor kept on well to score on his latest outing and is feared most under a 5lb penalty, while Cavalier Approach is another recent winner not to be taken lightly off 5lb higher.

Ed Bethell has quickly found the key to CAVALIER APPROACH who can make light of a 5 lb rise with further progress on the cards for his new stable. Joe Fanning has a very good record on One Last Hug this year and Jim Goldie's 8-y-o can provide the chief threat ahead of last-time-out Beverley second Birdie Bowers.

Topweight CAVALIER APPROACH made a winning start for Ed Bethell at Hamilton a fortnight ago and is taken to make it 2-2 for the yard.

Good shout under a 6 lb penalty. Impressive win at Ffos Las last week (6f, good to soft); well in under a penalty; solid.
10th	1 10th (1) (9/1 -100%) Mini Magna	9 9/1(-100%)	(1) Mini Magna 9/1, Two wins at Bath last summer. Narrowly denied the hat-trick on last week's 5f Carlisle nursery debut. Back up in trip. Makes tapeta debut. Big player off 1 lb lower. Progressive in recent starts; went close on last week's nursery debut; 4lb well in; chance.
11th	12 11th (12) (33/1 +0%) Cogsworth	33 33/1(+0%)	(12) Cogsworth 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Hooded first time, third of 11 in novice at Windsor (6f, good) 24 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Drawn widest. More needed. Below par in one AW run; drawn widest and looks up against it.

LTO Selection:

The Smiling Wolf secured a comfortable success over this trip at Ffos Las last Friday and he must enter calculations under a 6lb penalty. That said, MINI MAGNA has scored on two of his last three starts and gets the vote on his Tapeta debut. Ed Dunlop's gelding has to shoulder top-weight but he could be hard to stop if transferring his recent form onto the all-weather. The unexposed Suicide Blonde is another to consider.

London & The South start the evening in third place but might be able to narrow the gap at the top of the table courtesy of THE SMILING WOLF, who looks nicely treated under a penalty for last week's comfortable Ffos Las success. The thriving Mini Magna is feared most on the back of her recent Carlisle near miss. Suicide Blonde and Skilled Master are handicap newcomers who make some appeal, although the draw could have been kinder to the latter.

There should be more to come from Beyond Borders but THE SMILING WOLF looks ahead of the handicapper after last week's easy win.

Trainer going well. Should go well again for all this looks tougher. In form of her life at present and 1lb rise for latest 3rd could be lenient.
2	1 2nd (1) (4/1 +27%) Eclat De Lumiere	4 4/1(+27%)	(1) Eclat De Lumiere 4/1, Fairly low-mileage filly who seemed unsuited by the drop in trip when seventh of 18 in handicap at the Curragh (7f) in June. Form of her Fairyhouse third previously has some substance however, and she's of interest back up in trip. No wins since debut but ran with credit on return and unsuited by 7f latest.

Tenth of 11 in handicap at Galway (11.8f, soft, 7/1) 33 days ago, joined home turn and weakening. Return to forecast quicker ground here should help. Has won over hurdles and on the Flat this summer but may find this trip on the sharp side.

6th	9 6th (9) (7/1 +0%) Free Flow	7 7/1(+0%)	(9) Free Flow 7/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Blinkered for 1st time, not seen to best effect when fifth of 14 in handicap (20/1) at the Curragh (10f, good) 25 days ago, nearest finish.

12th	12 12th (12) (40/1 -21%) North Dorset	40 40/1(-21%)	(12) North Dorset 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Twelfth of 13 in handicap (50/1) at Down Royal (12.8f, good to soft) 41 days ago. Down in trip. Yard in good form. Difficult ask. Showed little over 1m5f on h'cap debut latest but this may be more suitable.

LTO Selection:

ECLAT DE LUMIERE has dropped a few pounds since her last run and looks capable of landing a race of this standard. Seven furlongs at the Curragh last time looked on the short side but she stayed on from the rear and it wasn't a bad run in competitive company. This looks a better trip now and an easier task. Slieve Binnian was a winner at the Curragh last time and while this 'country' track may not play to his strengths just as well he commands plenty of respect. Simply Sideways has run well to be placed on her last couple of outings and with Sean Bowen taking 7lb off her back now she could run a big race off a feather weight.

Competitive fare with the narrow vote in favour of ECLAT DE LUMIERE. Unsuited by the drop in trip when midfield in a Curragh handicap (7f) when last seen in June, her previous Fairyhouse third was a solid enough display and she can be expected to go well from a career-low mark. Free Flow and recent course scorer Slieve Binnian head up the dangers.

FREE FLOW has looked well treated since switching to handicaps and he ran a good race from a poor position last time

LTO Selection:

SILENT MOVE showed marked improvement from first to second start when an easy winner at Thirsk last time out, and Richard Fahey's charge is taken to follow up under a 7lb penalty. He is narrowly preferred to Apiarist, who was narrowly denied at the same track last month and should be open to further improvement. A full-brother to the Group-placed Persia, newcomer Love Safari could also have a say in proceedings.

VICTORY SHOUT left his debut form well behind when fourth in a fairly useful novice at Haydock last month and a repeat of that level may well suffice. Apiarist and Thirsk-winner Silent Move will ensure the selection doesn't have it all his own way.

10th	12 10th (12) (14/1 +44%) Water Of Leith	14 14/1(+44%)	(12) Water Of Leith 14/1, C&D winner. 18/1, bit below form seventh of 13 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Two C&D wins to his name; handicapped to go well but stall 13 won't make life easy.
11th	9 11th (9) (9/1 +10%) Bear Profit	9 9/1(+10%)	(9) Bear Profit 9/1, 9/2, seventh of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 7 days ago. Not in top form at present, so others make more appeal. Not at best this year and perhaps not ready to exploit his reduced mark.
12th	11 12th (11) (66/1 -164%) Alcazan	66 66/1(-164%)	(11) Alcazan 66/1, Course winner. Won 7-runner handicap at Goodwood (6f, good, 11/2) 13 days ago, all out. Remains fairly treated on old form. Back to winning ways on turf latest (form franked) but vulnerable from wide draw this time.

LTO Selection:

Only narrowly denied over this trip at Newcastle last time out, RAZZAM is fancied to build on that effort off the same mark here. Frederick Larson knocks 3lb off the gelding's back and, with more progression likely, the three-year-old can get the better of Hello Me, who drops in class following a creditable second at Chelmsford most recently. Momaer has been consistent of late and is another who warrants consideration.

HELLO ME is right at the top of her game and should be well positioned, so she takes marginal preference over Razzam and Le Beau Garcon, who both arrive on the back of solid showings but have wide draws to contend with. A case can be made for several others in a competitive event.

Minnetonka is interesting back at 6f but KIT GABRIEL shaped well on his stable debut and now has something to build on.

In top form and expected to feature once again. Belatedly off the mark this term; running well in defeat since; may find this trip sharp.
11th	11 11th (11) (40/1 -21%) Prince Of Glamour	40 40/1(-21%)	(11) Prince Of Glamour 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 5 in minor event (200/1) at Gowran (9.5f, soft) 40 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Poor maiden form; out of his depth up in class latest; very low mark for h'cap bow though.

13th	2 13th (2) (5.5/1 -10%) Slamadoor	5.5 5.5/1(-10%)	(2) Slamadoor 5.5/1, 17/2, won 13-runner handicap at Gowran (9.4f, good) 22 days ago, always holding on. One to consider. Recovered well from slow start to win at Gowran latest and 4lb rise looks workable.

LTO Selection:

The form of SLAMADOOR's win at Gowran Park last time has worked out well and she may be able to bag a follow up success. She got home by half a length then from Jazz Dreamers, who went on to win at Bellewstown, while the third horse, Simply Sideways, has been placed again since and has a chance to boost the form in the preceding race today. Tastyee has been performing consistently and was runner-up off this mark at Killarney last time. She could be a major player again. Chatterbox was just denied at Killarney recently and while she takes a significant drop in trip now she has to be on the shortlist having shown some decent form over shorter in the past.

PLUNKETT STREET upped his game when runner-up at a big price on handicap debut and he's worth a chance to improve enough to open his account at the expense of more-exposed types. Chatterbox and Slamadoor both deserve respect.

There's been some encouraging runs from SPECIAL PROTECTOR of late and she looks like a big player from the basement mark

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, bit below form sixth of 11 in handicap (9/2) at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Down to a handy mark if putting it all together. Dual C&D winner (from marks in the mid 50s); hasn't been quite so sharp in recent times..

Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to firm, 9/1) 8 days ago, pushed along final 1f and keeping on. Not out of things from this mark.

LTO Selection:

Denied by a narrow margin over C&D last time out, SHAHNAZ deserves a change in luck and she can claim a first victory since August 2022 here. Gemma Tutty's charge is now 11lb lower than her last winning mark and should have too much for the likes of Merricourt, and Yeeeaah, who has been placed on three of his last four starts. Others to note include Gracelands Girl, Royal Prospect and Willing To Please.

This looks likely to be run at a good pace which could well play to the strengths of MERRICOURT. He's been shaping up respectably in recent outings and, operating on a workable mark, he could well be ready to strike for his in-form yard. Yeeeaah and Royal Prospect head up the dangers, with Shahnaz another who can't be discounted from her much-reduced mark.

The smooth-travelling ROYAL PROSPECT (nap) was an eyecatcher at Newcastle last time, so earns the vote at a track which suits.

5th	2 5th (2) (12/1 -9%) Old Smoke	12 12/1(-9%)	(2) Old Smoke 12/1, Winner at Thirsk in April. Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Chepstow (1¼m, good, 11/1) 28 days ago. This is a touch easier down another 2lb and down in trip, and he holds each-way claims.

8th	4 8th (4) (20/1 -67%) Noodle Mission	20 20/1(-67%)	(4) Noodle Mission 20/1, Has struggled on turf lately but returns to the scene of his 2 C&D wins earlier in the year. No shock were he to stage a revival. Followers are pinning their hopes on the return to Tapeta bringing him back.
9th	6 9th (6) (14/1 -56%) Achillea	14 14/1(-56%)	(6) Achillea 14/1, Winner of race 3 of this series at Yarmouth (1m) in July. Not in same form when 5¼ lengths ninth of 10 to Pjanoo in handicap at Windsor (1m, good to firm, 20/1) 21 days ago, slowly away. Makes tapeta debut. Needs to find more for the surface switch but is a half-sister to two course winners.
10th	8 10th (8) (20/1 +29%) Lunarscape	20 20/1(+29%)	(8) Lunarscape 20/1, 20/1, respectable seventh of 13 in handicap at Newbury (1m, firm) 84 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Others more persuasive. Lost a shoe at Goodwood and not much went right last time; too soon to write her off then.

LTO Selection:

The drop in trip looks set to suit MOONSPIRIT, who lost second inside the final furlong over 1m2f at Newcastle a week ago. The unexposed daughter of Kingman retains the mark from that run and is fancied to improve, but Yeoman can give her plenty to think about following a staying-on second over a mile most recently. A first-time visor could see Supaspecialawesome build on a decent second from his latest outing and he completes the shortlist.

The C&D handicap ROYAL DREAM won last month has worked out really well and he looked unlucky not to go closer when third at Kempton last week so he's the suggestion. His teammate Yeoman has a steadily progressive profile on AW and is second choice ahead of Moonspirit.

Moonspirit is respected, but ROYAL DREAM has progressed nicely in AW handicaps this summer and gets the vote.

Struggling to make her mark in handicaps albeit some creditable runs; others preferred.

LTO Selection:

GRAPPA NONINO got a bit too far back when a staying on sixth in a competitive handicap over in York just over two weeks ago and may be able to strike again here in shallower waters. The Teofilo gelding had won at the Curragh previously and looks capable of going in again off this 6lb higher mark. Extensio was good on his hurdling debut at Roscommon last time and with that confidence boosting success under his belt he could run well back on the level again here. The six-year-old had been runner-up on his previous two Flat starts and is a consistent sort. Marvelosa is another who has been holding her form well and also has to be on the shortlist.

Having been shaping up well on the Flat in recent months, EXTENSIO continued the good work when opening his account over hurdles at Roscommon 4 weeks ago and, returned to this sphere, he's fancied to make another bold bid. Sheishybrid and Grappa Nonino are others to consider, with Marvelosa not out of things either.

Fresh from a winning hurdles debut, EXTENSIO gets the nod after a fine Curragh run prior to that win

IMPERIAL QUARTER made a pleasing start to her career when beaten just over two lengths over 1m at Newmarket and this looks like a good opportunity to get her head in front. Roger Varian's charge shaped as if this extra yardage should suit on that occasion and she could be hard to beat. The two debutants Man Of Monaco and Wadacre Maximus can also feature.

IMPERIAL QUARTER showed more than enough on debut to think she can win what looks a weak race unless one of the Johnston-trained newcomers is ready to go. Kintaro is quite closely matched with the selection in form terms but lacks her potential.

Dubawi filly IMPERIAL QUARTER shaped well when a running-on debut Newmarket fifth (form has been franked) and looks the way to go

19:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 3) 9f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (5/1 +50%) Koy Koy	5 5/1(+50%)	(2) Koy Koy 5/1, Creditable second of 7 in handicap at Chester (7.6f, heavy, 13/2) 32 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Reliable type who is likely to be on the premises. On last winning mark and was a clear second at Chester last time; in the mix on AW debut.
2	7 2nd (7) (4.5/1 +31%) Farasi Lane	4.5 4.5/1(+31%)	(7) Farasi Lane 4.5/1, Latest win at Ascot in July. Creditable second of 13 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm, 9/1) 21 days ago. Outbattled last time but expected to give his running. Two wins this year and he went close at Windsor last time; could make another bold bid.
3	8 3rd (8) (5/1 +38%) Parlando	5 5/1(+38%)	(8) Parlando 5/1, Lightly-raced winner. 10/1, respectable third of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 7 days ago. Still unexposed, so bigger effort can't be ruled out. Lightly raced 4yo but he was beaten 4l at Newcastle last week and needs more progress.
4	5 4th (5) (8.5/1 -42%) What's The Story	8.5 8.5/1(-42%)	(5) What's The Story 8.5/1, Latest win at Carlisle in May. Creditable third of 11 in handicap (7/1) at Sandown (8f, good) 18 days ago, running on. Holding form well and worth a chance to open his account for this stable. In good form on turf for his new yard and he should go well again back on Tapeta.
5th	9 5th (9) (40/1 -122%) Young Fire	40 40/1(-122%)	(9) Young Fire 40/1, C&D winner. 4 wins from 14 runs this year. Sixth of 9 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good to firm, 11/2) 26 days ago. Stronger pace here should suit him, so he's not one to rule out. Four wins this year but he was well held last time and this is tougher back up in grade.
6th	10 6th (10) (33/1 -136%) Cry Havoc	33 33/1(-136%)	(10) Cry Havoc 33/1, Creditable third of 9 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 14/1) 15 days ago, staying on well. On a handy mark, so could feature if she's able to build on latest effort. Finished well when third at Kempton (7f) and she has possibilities back up in trip.
7th	11 7th (11) (40/1 -100%) Night Arc	40 40/1(-100%)	(11) Night Arc 40/1, Latest win at Sandown in July. Below form seventh of 12 in handicap (10/1) at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) 34 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Has work to do. Well below form at Newmarket latest and this is a big step back up in grade; down the list.
8th	4 8th (4) (7.5/1 -50%) Hafeet Alain	7.5 7.5/1(-50%)	(4) Hafeet Alain 7.5/1, Latest win at Newmarket in June. Creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at Haydock (8.2f, good, 6/1) 26 days ago, running on. Holding form well lately, so could feature if things drop right. In good form on turf this summer and he's respected back on AW.
9th	1 9th (1) (3.5/1 +46%) Lir Speciale	3.5 3.5/1(+46%)	(1) Lir Speciale 3.5/1, Latest win at Kempton in May. Last of 25 in handicap (40/1) at Ascot (7f, good to soft) 40 days ago. Has a solid record on AW and seems likely to bounce back up in trip. His form has slumped at Ascot last twice and has some questions to answer at this new trip.
10th	6 10th (6) (40/1 -82%) Harswell Duke	40 40/1(-82%)	(6) Harswell Duke 40/1, Latest win at Doncaster in April. Only seventh of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, heavy, 7/1) 33 days ago, slowly away. Back up in trip. Others make more appeal. Won the Spring Mile at Doncaster in April but he's failed to shine in his two runs since.
11th	3 11th (3) (8/1 +11%) United Front	8 8/1(+11%)	(3) United Front 8/1, Latest win at Beverley in June. 10/1, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Ripon (8f, good) 10 days ago. Goes well on synthetics, so worthy of respect. 6yo who is most potent on AW and has claims if he gets a good pace and some luck.

LTO Selection:

Young Fire is the only course and distance winner in the field and, as he has won five times off higher marks, the eight-year-old is hard to ignore. LIR SPECIALE is forced to carry top weight, but drops in class after disappointing twice at Ascot and returns to the all-weather having won twice at Kempton. He may be at his best on an artificial surface and could hold off the attentions of Koy Koy, who was not disgraced at Chester and has Billy Loughnane claiming 3lb here.

The majority have some sort of chance but it may pay to side with WHAT'S THE STORY, who has been holding his form well and hasn't had much racing for his current yard. Hafeet Alain could emerge as the main danger and United Front should benefit from a return to AW.

An open race in which Mick Appleby's UNITED FRONT gets the vote ahead of Hafeet Alain and What's The Story.

14th	2 14th (2) (20/1 -100%) Kottayam	20 20/1(-100%)	(2) Kottayam 20/1, Thrice-raced winner on Flat. Fairly useful winner at 16f in bumpers. 33/1, eighth of 13 in handicap at Bellewstown (17f, good) 9 days ago. Won Flat maiden for Willie Mullins last year but struggled on h'cap bow latest.

LTO Selection:

Alex Harvey has impressed recently and he can bag another winner here on WILD SHOT. The nine-year-old has been in fine form and has run well on his last couple of outings over timber. He won well at Tramore when last seen on the Flat and is only 4lb higher now. Walnut Beach is another versatile dual-purpose performer who has been running well and was third to the selection at Tramore. At the revised terms he looks a danger. The Abbey has a lowly enough Flat rating and looks worth another chance at this game. He could be place material.

WILD SHOT has run 2 solid races over hurdles since his comfortable Flat success at Tramore in July and can strike for John McConnell. Walnut Beach was third to the selection at Tramore and is second choice ahead of Gordon Elliott's The Abbey, who has a productive spell over jumps this summer and has a basement mark to work with back on the Flat.

This can go the way of WILD SHOT (nap) who won well when last seen on the Flat and the handicapper may have let him off the hook

LTO Selection:

MARBUZET has racked up a sequence of placed efforts of late and he appears sure to run his race once again. The four-year-old is off the same mark as his third over 2m at Ripon last time and this drop in trip looks to be a positive. Oh So Chic also commands respect after a good second over 2m at Catterick last month, but she needs to defy a 1lb rise in the ratings, while The Navigator could be on a dangerous mark.

THE NAVIGATOR had little chance from his position well off the pace at Catterick last time and might be worth chancing from his reduced mark at a track which has often brought the best out of him on the Flat. The reliable Marbuzet should figure prominently again, while John Berry's Merrijig is less exposed than a lot of these and didn't fare too badly on last month's Newmarket handicap debut.

A few with chances but the vote goes to Tim Easterby's MARBUZET who is proving very reliable and can gain a deserved first win of 2023

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (4.5/1 +25%) Painters Palette	4.5 4.5/1(+25%)	(6) Painters Palette 4.5/1, Fine start for present yard when landing pair of course handicaps in the spring (latterly over C&D). Plenty of good efforts since, adding to his tally at Redcar (1m) prior to solid fourth at Newcastle (10.2f) 7 days ago. Remains of interest from this mark. C&D winner; another solid effort when 4th at Newcastle last week; firmly in the mix.
2	4 2nd (4) (3.5/1 +30%) Naxos	3.5 3.5/1(+30%)	(4) Naxos 3.5/1, Low-mileage sort who made it 2 from 3 in AW novice events on return at Newcastle (1m) in April. Unable to make an impact in Britannia Stakes (1m) after but back on the up when second at Newmarket (1m) 26 days ago. Unexposed at this trip and not discounted. Unexposed two-time Tapeta winner; good 2nd at Newmarket latest; up 4lb but considered.
3	1 3rd (1) (10/1 -25%) Graignes	10 10/1(-25%)	(1) Graignes 10/1, In resurgent form following a wind op, landing handicaps at Kempton/Sandown with plenty to spare prior to a good second at Goodwood (9.9f, heavy) 12 days ago. Possibly helped by where he raced then however and more needed now revised mark has kicked in. Two ready wins this summer; perhaps ground not ideal latest but he's 9lb higher today.
4	3 4th (3) (7/1 -40%) Civil Law	7 7/1(-40%)	(3) Civil Law 7/1, Goes well at this track, bagging a pair of C&D handicaps late on last year. Largely shaped as if still in form during first half of this term, not seen to best effect when ninth at Kempton 912f) in June. Gone well fresh previously and return to this venue a plus. Four course wins last year; handicapper on top in 2023 but return to Wolverhampton a plus.
5th	7 5th (7) (5.5/1 -10%) Have Secret	5.5 5.5/1(-10%)	(7) Have Secret 5.5/1, Improved with each start last year, winning 2 nurseries, and has continued on the up this term too, making the frame in a trio of top 3-y-o handicaps. Never involved under a more patient ride when seventh at York (10.2f) 12 days ago but respected as one of only two 3-y-os in the line up. Run well in some good handicaps this year; perhaps a stiffer test will be required though.
6th	9 6th (9) (9/1 +10%) Kingori	9 9/1(+10%)	(9) Kingori 9/1, 2-3 in AW maiden/novice events at 3 yrs and back on the up on second handicap start when second behind an upwardly-mobile sort at Newcastle (10.2f) in July. Not in same form switched to turf at Newmarket latest but no surprise to see a better showing back on an artificial surface. Two AW wins and also ran well in a 1m2f handicap at Newcastle in July; less good latest.
7th	10 7th (10) (12/1 +0%) Arcadian Nights	12 12/1(+0%)	(10) Arcadian Nights 12/1, 5-y-o who gained third success of the year over C&D in April. Respectable effort at Haydock later that month and he comes here having posted a career-best effort when second at Chepstow (1m) 4 weeks ago. Operating from career-high mark now but he's clearly in good heart. Three AW wins early in the year (two over C&D); good second on turf latest; contender.
8th	8 8th (8) (25/1 -108%) Fantasy Believer	25 25/1(-108%)	(8) Fantasy Believer 25/1, Latest win at Newmarket (10f) in July. 15/2, respectable third of 10 in handicap at Chepstow (10f, good) 28 days ago, best work finish. Each-way possibilities once more. Newmarket winner in July; third at Chepstow four weeks ago; needs a strong pace to shine.
9th	5 9th (5) (10/1 +38%) Carolus Magnus	10 10/1(+38%)	(5) Carolus Magnus 10/1, Fairly useful winner for Andrew Balding and threatening to come good for present yard, not seen to very best effect when fifth at Newcastle (10.2f) last week. Remains low-mileage and he's not underestimated. Looks to retain good chunk of ability & one to consider, especially if they go quick early.
10th	2 10th (2) (16/1 -14%) Marie's Diamond	16 16/1(-14%)	(2) Marie's Diamond 16/1, On a long losing run but he did run a cracker when second at York (10.2f) in May. Has been some way below that level on last 3 starts though, and whilst this ease in class is a plus, others arrive with more pressing claims. Big chance on even this season's best now faced with a marked drop in grade.
11th	11 11th (11) (22/1 -10%) Lucky San Jore	22 22/1(-10%)	(11) Lucky San Jore 22/1, Dual C&D winner upon joining present yard last autumn and, following a couple of lesser efforts in the spring, he returned to form when fourth at Leicester (8.2f) 15 days ago, keeping on having been hampered at the start. Likely to give another good account back on AW. Good record over C&D and ran well over an inadequate 1m last time; not discounted.

LTO Selection:

Both Civil Law and ARCADIAN NIGHTS have good records here with eight course wins between them, and both look capable off their current marks. Preference is for the Mark Loughnane gelding who was a solid second at Chepstow last month. Upped 2lb for that, he returns to the all-weather and may go one better with a clear run. Naxos is another changing surface and, with his 2/3 record on the all-weather, he is also hard to overlook.

Unsurprisingly plenty arrive with claims and there could be a spot of value in KINGORI. He wasn't at his best on turf latest but his profile on all weather is a positive one and this low-mileage 4-y-o can prove his present mark a workable one. Painters Palette and Naxos head up the dangers, whilst Carolus Magnus is threatening to come good soon and is also worth keeping an eye on.

There are risks involved with MARIE'S DIAMOND but this is a drop in class and May's York second represents a strong piece of form.

Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Sandown (14f, good, 17/2) 18 days ago, forced to switch 1f out and staying on strongly. No reason why he won't give another good account. York winner in June (1m6f); still looked in form latest; a strong early pace would suit.
2	6 2nd (6) (4.5/1 +18%) Glenister	4.5 4.5/1(+18%)	(6) Glenister 4.5/1, Typical improver for shrewd yard, making it 4 wins from 5 starts this term at Newcastle (12.5f) 7 days ago, leading last ½f and idling. No surprise to see him out under a penalty and unlikely he's reached his limit yet. Thriving this year; stepping up in trip can spark even more; strong claims under penalty.
3	4 3rd (4) (4.5/1 +44%) Faylaq	4.5 4.5/1(+44%)	(4) Faylaq 4.5/1, Twenty five runs since last win in 2019. Creditable third of 14 in handicap (12/1) at Hamilton (12.1f, good to soft) 13 days ago.

Career best when winning 11-runner Amateurs' Derby (12/1) at Epsom (12f, good) 10 days ago, going clear inside final 1f. Rates a big player under a penalty with Billy Loughnane taking off a handy 3 lb. Bolted up over 1m4f at Epsom ten days ago; well in under penalty; obvious chance.

This rates more demanding up in class from revised mark, though. Ready winner over C&D three weeks ago; this deeper but still has handicapping scope.
6th	5 6th (5) (16/1 -14%) Alnilam	16 16/1(-14%)	(5) Alnilam 16/1, 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Latest win at Yarmouth (14f) in July. Ninth of 13 in handicap at Nottingham (16f, good to soft, 11/2) 23 days ago, hanging left 2f out and never involved. No surprise to see a better showing. Two wins over this trip in midsummer; progress stalled over 2m latest; type to bounce back.
7th	11 7th (11) (22/1 -22%) Gozo	22 22/1(-22%)	(11) Gozo 22/1, Maiden who made a bright start for new yard stepped up in trip, matching previous best when fifth at Newmarket (10f) in July. First blip of the campaign when sixth of 7 in handicap at Sandown (10f) and he takes another marked step up in trip now. Seven-race maiden; has shown promise but new trip/tongue-tie need to spark more from him.
8th	3 8th (3) (33/1 -175%) The Thunderer	33 33/1(-175%)	(3) The Thunderer 33/1, Course winner. First run since leaving Ollie Sangster when respectable 4¾ lengths fourth of 11 to Alnilam in handicap at Yarmouth (14.1f, good to soft, 10/1) 42 days ago. Revised mark may not beyond him but slow starting means he comes with risks attached. Two wins for O Sangster this year; shaped well on stable debut 6 weeks ago; may do better.
9th	8 9th (8) (7/1 +7%) Dark Island	7 7/1(+7%)	(8) Dark Island 7/1, Landed an 11f AW handicap during a mixed 3-y-o campaign but much more consistent this time around, running best race yet tackling this trip for the first time when second at Sandown (14f) 18 days ago. Not out of things on balance. Banging at the door of late, missing out by a nose latest; dangerous with an easy lead.
10th	9 10th (9) (40/1 -100%) Sophosc	40 40/1(-100%)	(9) Sophosc 40/1, Course winner who hasn't been operating at his best on the Flat so far this year but did manage to finish an encouraging second having first start over fences at Stratford (19.5f) 46 days ago. Operating from last winning mark back on the level if he can build on that now. Second over fences latest; this year's Flat form poor but step back up in trip may help.
11th	1 11th (1) (80/1 -100%) Achnamara	80 80/1(-100%)	(1) Achnamara 80/1, Fairly useful C&D winner for Charlie and Mark Johnston in 2022. However, proved most disappointing over hurdles/on Flat for Harry Fry and has since joined present yard for £16,000. Return to AW needs to have positive effect with cheekpieces refitted. Two wins here for the Johnstons; struggled for H Fry; sold £16,000 last month; risky.

LTO Selection:

PERCY JONES has been running well of late and he got his head in front last time, scoring over C&D. Mark Loughnane's charge has been raised 2lb in the ratings for that win and, while this is a hotter heat, that could prove lenient. Belgoprince is feared most after running out a decisive winner over 1m4f at Epsom and it would be no shock were he to defy a 5lb penalty, while similar comments apply to Glenister.

BELGOPRINCE arrives firmly at the top of his game, posting a career-best display when bagging the Amateurs' Derby at Epsom 10 days ago, and, turned out under a penalty, he could well be up to going in again with Billy Loughnane taking off a very handy 3 lb. Glenister made it 4 wins from his last 5 starts at Newcastle last week and he's a big threat with the prospect of more to come. Dark Island and The Thunderer complete the shortlist.

Belgoprince won in fine style at Epsom but he's up against another progressive one in GLENISTER (nap) this time.

20:45 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 2) 6f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (11/1 +0%) Get It	11 11/1(+0%)	(5) Get It 11/1, Course winner. Respectable ¾-length fourth of 14 to Good Earth in handicap (12/1) at Sandown (5f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Back up in trip. Merits consideration. Not beaten far from a wide stall at Sandown latest; an easy 6f should be fine now; player.
2	3 2nd (3) (11/1 +8%) Tiger Crusade	11 11/1(+8%)	(3) Tiger Crusade 11/1, Seven wins from 26 Flat runs. 3 wins from 7 runs this year. 12/1, won 9-runner handicap at Newmarket (6f, good) 40 days ago. 9 lb higher now but he's better on the AW. Arrives in form but such an easy 6f from a double-figure stall is a bare minimum.
3	4 3rd (4) (9/1 +44%) Aramis Grey	9 9/1(+44%)	(4) Aramis Grey 9/1, C&D winner. Sixteenth of 18 in handicap (33/1) at Ripon (6f, good) 19 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Must cast that effort aside but his AW record is a positive one. Record in C&D handicaps reads 1241; record in September stands at 12114; can do better.
4	13 4th (13) (14/1 +0%) Walking On Clouds	14 14/1(+0%)	(13) Walking On Clouds 14/1, Four wins in a productive 2023. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good to soft, 14/1) 59 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Grant Tuer. This tougher for new yard (picked up for 40,000gns) but he's won fresh; can't be ruled out.
5th	11 5th (11) (11/1 -69%) Monsieur Kodi	11 11/1(-69%)	(11) Monsieur Kodi 11/1, Six wins from 21 Flat runs. 3 wins from 8 runs this year. Latest win at Goodwood in August. Below form sixth of 18 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good, 5/1) 19 days ago. This mark should be within range. Below par when among the favourites for the Great St Wilfrid but progressive prior to that.
6th	9 6th (9) (10/1 +0%) Lequinto	10 10/1(+0%)	(9) Lequinto 10/1, Quirky sort. Course winner. Latest win at Windsor in June. 40/1 and blinkered for first time, excellent second of 13 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good) 31 days ago. Three-time course winner who's been in fine form round Windsor; is one to consider..
7th	6 7th (6) (25/1 -25%) Bosh	25 25/1(-25%)	(6) Bosh 25/1, 25/1, last of 17 in handicap at York (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Well beaten latest following more than a year off; Mums Tipple looks his yard's best shout.
8th	10 8th (10) (6.5/1 +24%) Prisoner's Dilemma	6.5 6.5/1(+24%)	(10) Prisoner's Dilemma 6.5/1, 10/1, respectable fifth of 13 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Makes tapeta debut with a visor on for the first time. Goes in a first-time visor for Irish trainer who does well with UK runners; shortlisted.
9th	7 9th (7) (33/1 -32%) Strong Power	33 33/1(-32%)	(7) Strong Power 33/1, C&D winner. First run since leaving Alice Haynes when eighth of 19 in handicap (40/1) at York (5f, good) 40 days ago, never nearer. Back up in trip and much higher AW mark is justified. Has regressed on turf this year, latterly for new yard off a turf mark fully 21lb lower.
10th	8 10th (8) (18/1 -80%) Good Earth	18 18/1(-80%)	(8) Good Earth 18/1, Three wins from 11 runs this year. 8/1, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Sandown (5f, good to firm) 18 days ago, digging deep. Back up in trip and he's a credit to connections. Returns to the AW on a career-high rating; will need a personal best if he's to take this.
11th	12 11th (12) (7.5/1 +0%) Celtic Champion	7.5 7.5/1(+0%)	(12) Celtic Champion 7.5/1, Big career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Lingfield in February. 6/1, good fifth of 15 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good) 19 days ago, never nearer. Shortlist material with prospect of more to come. Drawn away from the action on his return from six months off; that was promising enough.
12th	1 12th (1) (3.5/1 +36%) Mums Tipple	3.5 3.5/1(+36%)	(1) Mums Tipple 3.5/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Chelmsford City in March. Excellent fourth in the Wokingham in June and he's had excuses both starts since. This represents a slight drop in class. Needs to put a couple of below-par efforts behind him; has never run off a mark this high.
13th	2 13th (2) (7.5/1 +6%) Space Cowboy	7.5 7.5/1(+6%)	(2) Space Cowboy 7.5/1, C&D maiden/Newcastle novice winner in autumn of 2021. 12/1, creditable third of 10 in novice event at Newcastle (6f). Off 17 months so well-being an unknown ahead of this handicap debut. Drawn widest; has been off for well over a year and the market should provide some clues.

LTO Selection:

Despite running into a modest third over 6f at Newcastle last time, it is SPACE COWBOY who gets the nod to claim this prize. Richard Spencer's colt appears to be on a workable mark for his handicap debut. Lequinto has been a model of consistency of late and he should be thereabouts despite running off 4lb higher than his neck second over 6f at Windsor last time, while Tiger Crusade isn't ruled out either.

Stall 12 isn't ideal but 3-y-o CELTIC CHAMPION possesses the scope to rate higher before the year is out so he gets the nod in what is a very competitive contest. Mums Tipple eases slightly in class and is a big threat, along with Monsieur Kodi.

Get It is shortlisted but PRISONER'S DILEMMA is most interesting for an Irish trainer who's 8-29 with travellers in recent years.

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.
