13:40 York Stakes (Class 2) 6f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (3/1 -71%) The Coffee Pod	3 3/1(-71%)	(7) The Coffee Pod 3/1, Promising individual. 10/3, third of 8 in novice event at Ripon (6f, good) 22 days ago. That is the best form on offer. Very close third in the Hornblower at Ripon last time; leading player on the figures.
2	5 2nd (5) (3.33/1 +26%) Pilgrim	3.33 3.33/1(+26%)	(5) Pilgrim 3.33/1, Took his form up a notch when fourth of 22 in valuable sales race at this C&D (good to firm) 17 days ago, nearest finish. Should have more to offer over 6f. Just under 1l behind Ziggy's Condor here last time; now gets 5lb pull; respected.
3	1 3rd (1) (1.62/1 +19%) Ziggy's Condor	1.62 1.62/1(+19%)	(1) Ziggy's Condor 1.62/1, Winner at Pontefract on debut in July. Well backed and matched that form when second of 22 in valuable sales race over C&D 17 days ago. Open to improvement. Won well at Pontefract then finished second in C&D sales race; strong contender.
4	3 4th (3) (20/1 -67%) Bondy	20 20/1(-67%)	(3) Bondy 20/1, Foaled February 2. 450,000 gns yearling, Kingman colt. Half-brother to several winners, including winner up to 1½m Star Terms and 1¼m winner Fresh Terms, both useful. 450,000gns yearling; by Kingman; one of two interesting newcomers in the field.
5th	4 5th (4) (7/1 +61%) Classy Boy	7 7/1(+61%)	(4) Classy Boy 7/1, Strong in the betting but failed to even match debut form when third of 9 in maiden at Pontefract (6f, good) 32 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Open to progress. Gives the impression he'll be more interesting in 7f+ nurseries shortly.
6th	2 6th (2) (33/1 -136%) Assembly Call	33 33/1(-136%)	(2) Assembly Call 33/1, Showed ability under a sympathetic ride when fifth of 11 in novice event at Salisbury (6f, soft) on debut 9 days ago. Should have more to offer. Showed promise at Salisbury nine days ago, finishing fifth; open to improvement.
7th	6 7th (6) (20/1 +20%) Rebel Icon	20 20/1(+20%)	(6) Rebel Icon 20/1, Foaled March 20. 100,000 gns yearling, Showcasing colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart winner up to 11f Sand Zabeel and 1¼m winner Paris Rose. Dam 1m-1¼m winner who stayed 13f. Interesting newcomer. 100,000gns yearling; by Showcasing; market support should be heeded.

LTO Selection:

Just a length separated Ziggy's Condor (second) and PILGRIM (fourth) in the valuable Goffs UK Harry Beeby Premier Yearling Stakes over course and distance last month. However, the latter is 5lb better off here and that might be enough to see him get off the mark. The Coffee Pod finished a narrow third at Ripon 22 days ago and is likely go well, while the 450,000gns-purchase Bondy, a son of Kingman, is worth a market check ahead of his debut.

Middleham Park hold the aces here, with ZIGGY'S CONDOR, who had no chance with a smart one but beat the rest in a C&D sales race recently, marginally preferred to The Coffee Pod.

Hornblower third THE COFFEE POD gets the narrow vote ahead of Premier Yearling Stakes protagonists Pilgrim and Ziggy's Condor.

13:40 York Stakes (Class 2) 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:50 Curragh Handicap 6f - 22 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	5 1st (5) (16/1 +11%) Big Gossey	16 16/1(+11%)	(5) Big Gossey 16/1, Good third of 13 to Jon Riggens in handicap at this C&D (good to soft, 5/1) 21 days ago, very slowly away. Took this event in 2021 so needs considering. Very useful sprinter at this venue and at Dundalk, solid each-way chance on overall form.
2	19 2nd (19) (16/1 -14%) Never Shout Never	16 16/1(-14%)	(19) Never Shout Never 16/1, Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 13-runner handicap (10/3) at Cork (5f, heavy) 23 days ago, keeping on well. Open to improvement. Ought to be in the shake-up. Won with quite a bit to spare on handicap debut, open to further improvement, respected.
3	7 3rd (7) (10/1 +17%) Mr Wagyu	10 10/1(+17%)	(7) Mr Wagyu 10/1, C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable 4¾ lengths ninth of 17 to Summerghand in handicap (9/1) at York (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Needs considering. Has done plenty of racing since last year's course win, the most recent of his 15 wins.
4	1 4th (1) (9/1 -29%) Summerghand	9 9/1(-29%)	(1) Summerghand 9/1, Grand servant to connections who has got right back on song of late, dead-heating in 17-runner handicap (11/2) at York (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago with Albasheer. Player once more. Ayr Gold Cup winner is a worthy top weight, shared spoils with Albasheer at York on latest.
5th	2 5th (2) (33/1 -106%) The Highway Rat	33 33/1(-106%)	(2) The Highway Rat 33/1, 1 win from 2 runs this year. 4/1, landed 7-runner handicap at Navan (5f, good to soft) 8 days ago, driven out. Carries 7 lb penalty but not discounted. Good winning effort at Navan after a break, 7lb extra may take its toll in this company.
6th	3 6th (3) (6.5/1 +19%) Fresh	6.5 6.5/1(+19%)	(3) Fresh 6.5/1, 14/1, creditable 2½ lengths fifth of 17 to Summerghand in handicap at York (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago, left with too much to do. Needs considering. Best form in sprints at Ascot, fifth behind dead-heaters Summerghand and Albasheer at York.
7th	11 7th (11) (9/1 +44%) Jon Riggens	9 9/1(+44%)	(11) Jon Riggens 9/1, Career best when winning 13-runner handicap (9/2) at this C&D (good to soft) 21 days ago by neck from Heavenly Power. Trainer going well. Worthy of respect. Got an extra 4lb for beating stablemate Heavenly Power here last time, generally reliable.
8th	4 8th (4) (6/1 +0%) Albasheer	6 6/1(+0%)	(4) Albasheer 6/1, 7/1, dead-heated in 17-runner handicap at York (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago with Summerghand, joining leader on line. Up 3 lb but he should go very well again. Dead-heated with Summerghand at York last time, pair could be involved again.
9th	23 9th (23) (66/1 -65%) Sioux Spirit	66 66/1(-65%)	(23) Sioux Spirit 66/1, Latest win at Naas in June. 2¾ lengths fifth of 7 to The Highway Rat in handicap at Navan (5f, good to soft, 16/1) 8 days ago, nearest finish. No forlorn hope. Uneven form since Naas win in June, disadvantaged by being 4lb out of the handicap.
10th	15 10th (15) (50/1 +0%) Bellaphina	50 50/1(+0%)	(15) Bellaphina 50/1, Course winner. 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable 8¼ lengths sixth of 11 to Ocean Quest in Ballyogan Stakes (50/1) at Naas (5.9f, good) 14 days ago. More needed here, though. Wins in the spring were obtained over 7f and 1m, likely to find this trip too sharp.
11th	12 11th (12) (11/1 +39%) Laugh A Minute	11 11/1(+39%)	(12) Laugh A Minute 11/1, Course winner. 16/1, creditable third of 16 in handicap at Galway (7f, soft) 35 days ago. Can make presence felt. Ran well over 7f on soft at Galway last time but second in a C&D handicap on good in May.
12th	8 12th (8) (11/1 +8%) Dandyville	11 11/1(+8%)	(8) Dandyville 11/1, Six wins from 21 Flat runs. Latest win at Naas in May. Good second of 13 in handicap (15/8) at Dundalk (6f) 26 days ago, just failing. In the mix. Has lost by just a nose on his last two runs, deserves to enter calculations on that basis.
13th	17 13th (17) (12/1 +33%) The Organiser	12 12/1(+33%)	(17) The Organiser 12/1, 7/2, won 14-runner handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 21 days ago by nose from Nordic Passage. In the picture once more. Won narrowly from stablemate and subsequent winner Nordic Passage here three weeks ago.
14th	9 14th (9) (40/1 -43%) Master Matt	40 40/1(-43%)	(9) Master Matt 40/1, Course winner. Latest win at Fairyhouse in June. 11/4, third of 4 in minor event at Tipperary (5f, soft) 30 days ago. Can give a good account. Went very close in the Rockingham here in July, subsequent form raises significant doubts.
15th	24 15th (24) (50/1 -52%) Secret Magician	50 50/1(-52%)	(24) Secret Magician 50/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in August. Below form 6 lengths tenth of 17 to Arnhem in handicap at this C&D (good, 7/2) 15 days ago. Needs to get back on track. C&D winner from Livingstone Range on penultimate start, 9lb out of the handicap.
16th	18 16th (18) (20/1 -11%) Arnhem	20 20/1(-11%)	(18) Arnhem 20/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in August. 4/1, creditable length third of 7 to The Highway Rat in handicap at Navan (5f, good to soft) 8 days ago, nearest finish. Possibilities. C&D winner last month, not beaten far in third behind The Highway Rat at Navan last week.
17th	14 17th (14) (25/1 +11%) Volatile Analyst	25 25/1(+11%)	(14) Volatile Analyst 25/1, First run since leaving Keith Dalgleish when seventh of 13 to Jon Riggens in handicap (14/1) at this C&D (good to soft) 21 days ago. Has good chance on pick of form. Six-time winner in Britain, needs to improve from last month's Irish debut over C&D.
18th	10 18th (10) (66/1 -100%) Apache Outlaw	66 66/1(-100%)	(10) Apache Outlaw 66/1, Bit below form eighth of 13 in handicap (17/2) at this C&D (good) 71 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Joseph Patrick O'Brien. Needs to build on it. Often highly tried, gelded since his final run for Joseph O'Brien, others preferred.
19th	22 19th (22) (33/1 +34%) Curraheen Princess	33 33/1(+34%)	(22) Curraheen Princess 33/1, Course winner who posted a respectable sixth of 11 to Little Queenie in handicap at this course (5f, good, 10/1) 29 days ago. Not ruled out. All eight wins have come over 5f, not helped by being 4lb wrong here though 7lb claimed.
20th	16 20th (16) (10/1 +17%) Heavenly Power	10 10/1(+17%)	(16) Heavenly Power 10/1, C&D winner. Very good neck second of 13 to Jon Riggens in handicap at this C&D (good to soft, 7/2) 21 days ago, clear of rest. Stable in good form. One to keep on right side. Usually runs well at this venue, only just denied by stablemate Jon Riggers last time.
21st	20 21st (20) (16/1 +20%) Little Queenie	16 16/1(+20%)	(20) Little Queenie 16/1, 7/1, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at this course (5f, good) 29 days ago, driven out. Not discounted despite a 6 lb rise. Progressive in winning two of her last three starts, 3lb wrong but useful 7lb claimed.
22nd	13 22nd (13) (25/1 +0%) Prisoner's Dilemma	25 25/1(+0%)	(13) Prisoner's Dilemma 25/1, C&D winner. 13/2 and visored for 1st time, creditable eighth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 3 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Best known as a four-time Dundalk winner, unplaced Wolverhampton on Thursday, tough task.

LTO Selection:

In a typically competitive sprint, it may pay to side with the UK challengers on this occasion, headed by Archie Watson's ALBASHEER. He got up to force a dead-heat with Summerghand at York after waiting for room and may better that effort if he gets a clearer run. David O'Meara's nine-year-old is still more than capable. though, and could get involved once again, alongside maiden winner Never Shout Never, who caught the eye at Cork ahead of his handicap debut. Dandyville and Fresh also make the shortlist in a fascinating renewal.

SUMMERGHAND and Albasheer couldn't be seperated in a competitive York sprint last month and can again come to the fore here with David O'Meara's grand veteran taken to edge it on this occasion. The home challenge is headed by C&D winner Prisoner's Dilemma, although Volatile Analyst, Heavenly Power, Never Shout Never and The Highway Rat all need factoring into a highly competitive sprint too.

The ground was soft when NEVER SHOUT NEVER made a winning handicap debut at Cork but he looks progressive and should handle this going

14:00 Fontwell Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 22f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (9/1 +44%) Shewearsthewellies	9 9/1(+44%)	(7) Shewearsthewellies 9/1, Made frame both starts in Irish points but well held all 3 starts in maiden hurdles in the spring. Back after a wind op now with lots to prove on her handicap debut. Remote third in 2m maiden in March; improvement needed on handicap debut.
2	2 2nd (2) (25/1 -25%) Pennsylvanie	25 25/1(-25%)	(2) Pennsylvanie 25/1, Fair form on 2 of her 3 starts in France. Yet to match that for her new yard and pulled up in novice hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, good to soft) 105 days ago. More is needed now going into handicaps. Showed only minor promise in spring; makes handicap debut after break; market may guide.
3	1 3rd (1) (6.5/1 -63%) Kentford Mallard	6.5 6.5/1(-63%)	(1) Kentford Mallard 6.5/1, Successful at Southwell last summer and in good nick when last seen out, good second of 13 at Huntingdon (25f) in May. Can make her presence felt after a break. Largely consistent mare who will be in the mix if fully tuned up after four-month break.
4	4 4th (4) (4.5/1 +50%) Quiet Thunder	4.5 4.5/1(+50%)	(4) Quiet Thunder 4.5/1, Back on track of late, third of 10 in handicap hurdle at Bangor (19.6f, good) 20 days ago. Shortlisted. Not making any progress but was very respectable third at Bangor three weeks ago.
5th	9 5th (9) (28/1 +30%) Moirai	28 28/1(+30%)	(9) Moirai 28/1, Has offered little in five runs thus far, including on handicap debut when sixth of eight at Bangor 20 days ago. Binkers are reached for now. Beaten about 49l when 40-1 for last month's handicap debut (2m7f); blinkers now added.
6th	8 6th (8) (8.5/1 -42%) Boomtime Banker	8.5 8.5/1(-42%)	(8) Boomtime Banker 8.5/1, Dual 2m4f hurdles winner last summer but not in the same form in 2023, only fifth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (20f, good to soft) 52 days ago. Others appeal more. Won twice last summer but has been soundly beaten on both appearances this year.
7th	6 7th (6) (11/1 +21%) Galah	11 11/1(+21%)	(6) Galah 11/1, Winless since 2021 but not disgraced when sixth of ten in handicap hurdle at Bangor (19.6f, good) 20 days ago. Possibilities. Has become well handicapped but managed only sixth at Bangor last month.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (1.1/1 +56%) Sinurita	1.1 1.1/1(+56%)	(3) Sinurita 1.1/1, Lightly-raced maiden who comes here on the back of an excellent second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Bangor (19.6f, good) 20 days ago, clear of rest. Weighted to go close. 0-6 over hurdles but was creditable second to an improver at Bangor last month; a player.

LTO Selection:

EATON LADY has formed quite the partnership with conditional Isabelle Ryder. The pair hit the woodwork at Ludlow before teaming up to success at Uttoxeter in May, and she lost nothing in defeat when occupying the runner-up berth at Worcester last time. From just 2lb higher, Gary Brown's charge can regain the winning thread, while Sinurita and veteran Kentford Mallard are perhaps the most likely dangers.

SINURITA remains with few miles on the clock and signalled she's ready to get off the mark with an excellent second at Bangor last month. Veteran Kentford Mallard could emerge as the chief threat to Neil Mulholland's mare after a break, although in-form pair Eaton Lady and Quiet Thunder need factoring in too.

Low-mileage 7yo SINURITA shaped very much as though her turn was near when clear second to one of Dan Skelton's new recruits last time.

14:15 York Handicap (Class 3) 8f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
4	4 (4) (4.5/1 +50%) Tajawal	4.5 4.5/1(+50%)	(4) Tajawal 4.5/1, Made most of good opportunity when off the mark in an Ayr maiden (1m) back in June and dispelled a lesser effort on handicap debut when third at Newcastle (1m) 7 weeks ago, challenging away from pair that beat him. Gelded since an encouraging third at Newcastle and Buick is booked.
1	5 1st (5) (7/1 +7%) Florida	7 7/1(+7%)	(5) Florida 7/1, Tongue strap on for first time when excellent third of 12 in handicap at Kempton (1m) 18 days ago on first run following a gelding operation. Well-bred colt should have more to offer. Best form has been on the AW but he should be effective on this faster surface.
2	6 2nd (6) (6.5/1 +0%) Theme Park	6.5 6.5/1(+0%)	(6) Theme Park 6.5/1, Bought for 200,000 gns after winning a 7f Kempton novice for Sir Michael Stoute last September. Good second in a C&D handicap for new yard in May but has failed to build on that as expected since. Interesting on some of his form and might be better for being gelded.
3	1 3rd (1) (3/1 -20%) Real Gain	3 3/1(-20%)	(1) Real Gain 3/1, Overcome a wide stall when winning 14-runner maiden at Kempton (1m) on debut in November. That form worked out quite well and he maintained unbeaten record 8 months on at Chelmsford. Makes handicap/turf debut with promise of more to come. Promising colt who is 2-2 on the AW; mark looks okay but fast ground is a grey area.
4	3 4th (3) (4.5/1 +18%) Bajan Bandit	4.5 4.5/1(+18%)	(3) Bajan Bandit 4.5/1, Has taken his form up a notch for his current yard, winning 7f handicap at Haydock and here in recent months. Nose behind Catch The Paddy over C&D last time, sticking to his task and there shouldn't be much between them. Returns here on back of two competitive runs at the track, over 7f and 1m.
5th	8 5th (8) (20/1 +9%) Reidh	20 20/1(+9%)	(8) Reidh 20/1, Ran just about his best race yet when second of 5 in handicap at Haydock 50 days ago. Settling better with experience and he can remain competitive. Yet to win but got to within a length of a subsequent winner at Haydock last time.
6th	2 6th (2) (3.33/1 +0%) Catch The Paddy	3.33 3.33/1(+0%)	(2) Catch The Paddy 3.33/1, Won a 6f course nursery last summer and enhanced excellent York record when runner-up in 1m handicap 16 days ago. Nudged up 1 lb and he should give it a good go. Runs his best races here and latest second over this trip was right up there.

LTO Selection:

Real Gain is open to further progression now he switches to turf after two narrow-margin wins on the all-weather and fits the profile of a colt with a bright future. However, the previous Knavesmire experience held by CATCH THE PADDY earns him the vote. Having finished a close second in the Sky Bet Mile over C&D last month, he can go one place better off just 1lb higher. Bajan Bandit is closely matched with the selection and commands respect, while Harlem Nights is also seriously considered.

It's easy to be positive about this bunch of 3-y-os with REAL GAIN just about the most persuasive option given he defends an unbeaten record and promises to go on improving. Catch The Paddy and Bajan Bandit finished second and third in a C&D handicap at the Ebor meeting and are a couple of potential threats.

Although unraced on fast ground, according to his pedigree there's every chance that FLORIDA will improve for it.

14:15 York Handicap (Class 3) 8f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:25 Curragh Group 2 10f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	7 1st (7) (6/1 +14%) Lumiere Rock	6 6/1(+14%)	(7) Lumiere Rock 6/1, Useful filly. 51/10, creditable head second of 5 to Jannah Rose in Prix Alec Head at Deauville (9.9f, good to soft) 21 days ago, battling well. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Should go well again. Effective from 1m2f to 1m4f and very versatile as to ground; one for the shortlist.
2	6 2nd (6) (3.2/1 +29%) Jackie Oh	3.2 3.2/1(+29%)	(6) Jackie Oh 3.2/1, Well-bred filly who upped her game to run out a convincing winner of a Group 3 at Gowran last time. Scope for better still and another bold showing is expected. Sets a standard on her Gowran performance but would not want the ground too lively.
3	3 3rd (3) (8/1 -14%) Trevaunance	8 8/1(-14%)	(3) Trevaunance 8/1, Smart filly. 32/1, good 4 lengths fourth of 8 to Mqse De Sevigne in Prix Jean Romanet at Deauville (9.9f, good to soft) 21 days ago, running on. Form pick who deserves plenty of respect dropping back in grade with cheekpieces fitted. Ran well on her return to Deauville in a Group 1 last month; not without a chance.
4	4 4th (4) (4.5/1 -13%) Araminta	4.5 4.5/1(-13%)	(4) Araminta 4.5/1, Looked a useful prospect when making a winning debut at Newbury (7f, heavy) and confirmed those impressions since, taking her tally to three in Prix Chloe at Chantilly 56 days ago. Strong claims with even more to come. Chantilly winner; more needed here but very possible that there is more to come from her.
5th	10 5th (10) (20/1 -25%) Red Riding Hood	20 20/1(-25%)	(10) Red Riding Hood 20/1, Useful filly. Tongue strap on for 1st time, career best when winning 8-runner Snow Fairy Fillies Stakes at this course (9f, good, 14/1) 15 days ago by neck from American Sonja. More required but not completely dismissed. Showed a good attitude here latest and there could be more to come from her; interesting.
6th	11 6th (11) (5/1 +33%) Unless	5 5/1(+33%)	(11) Unless 5/1, Likeable type who made all in a listed race at the Curragh before improving further to finish an excellent second in the Royal Whip Stakes at same track. Not discounted. More to find here but in a good run of form and no surprise if she got into the frame.
7th	2 7th (2) (7.5/1 +25%) Insinuendo	7.5 7.5/1(+25%)	(2) Insinuendo 7.5/1, Smart mare who was down the field in Pretty Polly Stakes over C&D 71 days ago but would have place claims on her best form. Not quite at her best since winning in March; claims on her best form but others preferred.
8th	9 8th (9) (14/1 -17%) Never Ending Story	14 14/1(-17%)	(9) Never Ending Story 14/1, Smart filly who chased home Blue Rose Cen in French Oaks at Chantilly but hasn't reproduced that form since. Could feature if back to her best. Well held in of Group 1s last thrice and this drop in class will suit; others preferred.
9th	5 9th (5) (18/1 +10%) Caroline Street	18 18/1(+10%)	(5) Caroline Street 18/1, Useful filly who scored at Naas in May. Not disgraced in a Grade 3 at Saratoga last time but this is probably beyond her. Soundly beaten last twice on her travels and questions to answer returning to home soil.
10th	1 10th (1) (28/1 +15%) Alanya	28 28/1(+15%)	(1) Alanya 28/1, Fairly useful filly who has made a positive start for this yard but looks out of her depth here. Good third to Unless in a Listed here last month; much stiffer task here though.
11th	8 11th (8) (14/1 -17%) Mashia	14 14/1(-17%)	(8) Mashia 14/1, Progressive sort who was unlucky not to finish closer when third in Snow Fairy Fillies Stakes at this course last time. Open to further improvement and could get involved. Step up in trip is likely to suit although a shower or two of rain would help; contender.

LTO Selection:

It will be interesting to see how Never Ending Story goes back in a Group 2, but JACKIE OH still looks the pick of Aidan O'Brien's quartet on the evidence of her fetching victory in Group 3 company at Gowran in July. The daughter of Galileo would probably prefer easier ground but she may still have too much class for this field, with Araminta and Mashia others to note from a possible value perspective.

JACKIE OH was most impressive when landing a Group 3 at Gowran last time and, with further progress expected, he can get the better of Trevaunance, who sets the standard. Araminta is also on the up and deserves plenty of respect.

Preference is for LUMIERE ROCK, who has been hugely consistent at up to 1m4f and acts on any ground. She would be a deserving winner

14:33 Fontwell Conditions Hurdle (Class 4) 18f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (1/1 +20%) Two Past Eight	1 1/1(+20%)	(1) Two Past Eight 1/1, Fair maiden on Flat who struck at the first time of asking over hurdles in Aintree juvenile in June. Sound second under a penalty at Stratford and carried on the good work on the level when runner-up at Kempton fitted with cheekpieces. Aintree hurdle winner in June and switches back to this code after good AW run last month.
2	3 2nd (3) (1.88/1 -50%) Grain Of Hope	1.88 1.88/1(-50%)	(3) Grain Of Hope 1.88/1, Half-sister to useful hurdler Zanjabeel. A fair maiden on Flat for Charlie Johnston, good second in 14f Thirsk handicap in July. Changed hands since for 19,000 gns and showed aptitude for hurdling when runner-up over C&D 17 days ago. More to come. Seemed to take pretty well to hurdling when second over C&D last month; good chance..
3	4 3rd (4) (4/1 +47%) Limelight	4 4/1(+47%)	(4) Limelight 4/1, Modest maiden on Flat (stays 1m) for Mike Murphy & Michael Keady. Had wind surgery head of hurdles debut and displayed ability in a race in which little went right for her at Stratford. Tongue tie on. Kept on for remote third on hurdle debut at Stratford; needs to build on that effort here.
4	2 4th (2) (28/1 -40%) Steven Seagull	28 28/1(-40%)	(2) Steven Seagull 28/1, Modest maiden on the Flat and not even at that level over hurdles so far. Lowly rated Flat maiden who was soundly beaten on both hurdling starts last month.

LTO Selection:

TWO PAST EIGHT couldn't quite carry a penalty to success at Stratford in July, having won on his hurdles bow at Aintree the previous month. This contest does not look as deep, however, and is a good opportunity for him to get back in the winning groove. Grain Of Hope was no match for an easy winner last time but that experience ought to stand her in good stead. Limelight can chase the pair home ahead of Steven Seagull.

GRAIN OF HOPE had little hope reeling in a rival who kept out of trouble on hurdles debut over C&D 17 days ago and the 14 lb she receives from previous-winner Two Past Eight may prove to be decisive. Limelight can't be totally ruled out, either.

Aintree winner Two Past Eight is respected but has to concede 14lb to GRAIN OF HOPE, who was second over C&D on her hurdling debut.

14:45 York Handicap (Class 4) 16f - 3 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (1.1/1 +37%) Yorkindness	1.1 1.1/1(+37%)	(1) Yorkindness 1.1/1, Free-going type who has enjoyed a productive summer, winning a trio of Pontefract handicaps (all 17.1f). Fair run at Musselburgh latest and could be tough to pass if allowed to dictate matters and settling. Three wins this year, all over 2m1f at Pontefract; solid 3rd latest; should be bang there.
2	2 2nd (2) (2.25/1 +36%) Gibside	2.25 2.25/1(+36%)	(2) Gibside 2.25/1, Has won at Carlisle and this track over much shorter this term. Has shaped better than the bare result the last twice, and while he takes a sizeable hike in distance here he's of real interest in a race that could become tactical. Ground and track no concern but below par the last twice and 2m a step into the unknown.
3	4 3rd (4) (2.5/1 -25%) Tendentious	2.5 2.5/1(-25%)	(4) Tendentious 2.5/1, With cheekpieces refitted, back to form when winning 11-runner handicap at Redcar (14f, good to firm) 2 weeks ago, up there throughout. Another here who won't be hanging around and not ruled out with stamina proven. Engaged 6.10 Thirsk Saturday. Back to form with a Redcar win (1m6f) 15 days ago; non-runner at Thirsk yesterday.

LTO Selection:

YORKINDNESS finished third at Musselburgh when attempting to make it a hat-trick of victories and Charlie Johnston's filly, who brings the most solid recent level of form to the contest, has been found an ideal opportunity to strike once again. Tendentious is likely to be the main threat following his Redcar success when seeming to benefit from cheekpieces being reapplied. Red Force One and Gibside both have something to prove on recent evidence.

This could get messy but if YORKINDNESS can settle in front it's easy to see her making all. Gibside is an unknown quantity over this sort of trip but he's yet to run a bad race at York and could emerge as the danger.

The safest option looks to be YORKINDNESS as she bids for her fourth win of the season.

Info	Form	Odds
1	4 1st (4) (16/1 +52%) Moss Tucker	16 16/1(+52%)	(4) Moss Tucker 16/1, Smart gelding who proved better than ever when landing the Phoenix Stakes here last time. Something to find at this level but his early pace is an asset. Looks well held by Art Power on the basis of two clashes this season, would prefer an ease.
2	8 2nd (8) (22/1 +56%) Get Ahead	22 22/1(+56%)	(8) Get Ahead 22/1, Useful filly who ran out a comfortable winner in listed company at Haydock in May. Has held her form since but she's not up to this level, only eighth in the Nunthorpe last time. Unlikely to be good enough judged on mid-field finish when 40-1 shot in the Nunthorpe.
3	3 3rd (3) (20/1 +39%) Equality	20 20/1(+39%)	(3) Equality 20/1, Dominated a smart field when landing Sandown Group 3 in July but hasn't been in quite the same form on both subsequent outings. Others make more appeal. Hard to see him reversing Nunthorpe form with Bradsell or Highfield Princess.
4	10 4th (10) (33/1 -18%) Ladies Church	33 33/1(-18%)	(10) Ladies Church 33/1, Won 5f listed race at Naas in May but not in the same form since and looks set for another struggle in top company. Struggled in the Nunthorpe last time, stiff task against the best of the British raiders.
5th	9 5th (9) (1/1 +28%) Highfield Princess	1 1/1(+28%)	(9) Highfield Princess 1/1, High-class mare who won 5 times in a brilliant 2022. Has looked as good as ever this year, readily taking King George Stakes at Goodwood and shaping like she's still in top form when runner-up in the Nunthorp. Can take another big prize here. Three Group 1 wins last year including this race, can uphold York form with Bradsell.
6th	1 6th (1) (3.5/1 +30%) Art Power	3.5 3.5/1(+30%)	(1) Art Power 3.5/1, Smart gelding who maintained his unbeaten record at this course with a dominant display in the Sapphire Stakes in July. Stretched by trip in France last time and firmly expected to be back on his game at his favourite track. Boasts a flawless record from four Curragh visits, limitations exposed at this level.
7th	6 7th (6) (4/1 -45%) Bradsell	4 4/1(-45%)	(6) Bradsell 4/1, Classy sprinter who took his form to a new level when landing 17-runner King's Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot. Solid showing in Nunthorpe last time and she already has the scalp of Highfield Princess once this season. Merits plenty of respect. Coventry Stakes winner has adapted well to 5f, closely matched with Highfield Princess.
8th	5 8th (5) (33/1 +34%) Aesop's Fables	33 33/1(+34%)	(5) Aesop's Fables 33/1, Looked a bright prospect when winning his first 2 outings at 2yrs. Back to his best when 3 lengths third to Shaquille in listed race at Newbury (6f, good to firm) in May but disappointed in Nunthorpe 3 months later. Others preferred. Won 7f Futurity Stakes last year, little reason to believe that 5f is ideal for him.
9th	2 9th (2) (33/1 -200%) Bouttemont	33 33/1(-200%)	(2) Bouttemont 33/1, Smart horse. Winner at Chantilly in June. 54/10, 4½ lengths fourth of 8 to Spycatcher in Prix de Ris-Orangis at Deauville (6f, good to soft) 63 days ago. Needs to up his game if he's to feature. A rare French sprint runner in Ireland, mostly races over 6f but has won a 5f Listed event.
10th	7 10th (7) (80/1 -21%) Ano Syra	80 80/1(-21%)	(7) Ano Syra 80/1, Useful filly. C&D winner. Creditable 2¼ lengths third of 11 to Moss Tucker in Phoenix Sprint Stakes (14/1) at this course (6f, good) 29 days ago, better placed than most. Faces a stiff task in this company, though. Well held by Art Power on basis of three previous clashes, third behind Moss Tucker latest.

LTO Selection:

Art Power might not be quite the force of old, but Tim Easterby's stable star has recorded four victories in as many visits here and merits the utmost respect with that in mind. Bradsell defeated HIGHFIELD PRINCESS in the King's Stand at Royal Ascot but the latter reversed the form at York and last year's winner gets the nod. The classy Night Of Thunder mare bolted up 12 months ago and she is fancied to lead home a one-two-three for the UK.

HIGHFIELD PRINCESS shaped best in the Nunthorpe and this high-class mare is so reliable that she's a straightforward choice to add another success at the top level. Bradsell has beaten the selection once already this season, so he's an obvious danger, while Art Power's outstanding course record throws him into the reckoning.

Last year's wide-margin winner HIGHFIELD PRINCESS is likely to get a sterner test but can take the measure of Bradsell

1	1 1st (1) (2.75/1 +0%) Organdi	2.75 2.75/1(+0%)	(1) Organdi 2.75/1, Veteran mare who isn't the force of old but is on a career-low mark in this sphere and potentially has her easiest opening in a while with conditions ideal.
2	2 2nd (2) (2.75/1 -10%) Cheltenam De Vaige	2.75 2.75/1(-10%)	(2) Cheltenam De Vaige 2.75/1, Took advantage of a poor showing by the favourite to gain a belated first success over hurdles at Stratford recently. Better over fences (good third in 4m Cheltenham hunter in May) and should go well.
3	4 3rd (4) (5.5/1 -22%) Moratorium	5.5 5.5/1(-22%)	(4) Moratorium 5.5/1, Fairly useful form in hunters and has done well in points. Not on a bad mark if ready to go back in handicaps for new yard.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (1.5/1 +25%) Fairlawn Flyer	1.5 1.5/1(+25%)	(3) Fairlawn Flyer 1.5/1, Took advantage of reduced mark when winning 7-runner Cartmel handicap chase (25.5f) last month, typically making hard work of things. Saddle slipped at Southwell on Thursday and no surprise to see him go close in this company.

LTO Selection:

Cheltenam De Vaige recorded a facile success over hurdles last month and he merits respect back chasing, but preference is for ORGANDI. Richard Phillips' charge receives a welcome drop in grade having been below-par in a class 2 contest at Worcester 19 days ago and, from 12lb below his last winning mark, this looks well within range. Fairlawn Flyer's saddle slipped at Southwell three days ago so he's worth considering turned out quickly, while Moratorium is far from out of this either.

Only four runners but a trappy contest, with ORGANDI chanced to resume winning ways off a lowly mark on her first go in a 0-120 in this sphere. Fairlawn Flyer's saddle slipped at Southwell on Thursday and he'd previously won at Cartmel so he's respected.

The pick is CHELTENAM DE VAIGE (nap), who proved his wellbeing with an easy hurdle win 17 days ago and has conditions to suit here.

Looks well-in for her nursery debut with William Buick up. Plenty to like and sure to go well if breaking on terms (slowly away first 2 starts). Went very close in the Hornblower at Ripon; still open to further progress; respected.
2	4 2nd (4) (5.5/1 -22%) Batal Zabeel	5.5 5.5/1(-22%)	(4) Batal Zabeel 5.5/1, Off the mark on handicap debut in 5f Beverley contest a fortnight ago, looking awkward again but coming clear late on. Respected back over 6f. Made a successful nursery debut at Beverley two weeks ago; may improve further.
3	1 3rd (1) (4/1 +27%) Watch My Tracer	4 4/1(+27%)	(1) Watch My Tracer 4/1, Has won 6f novices on fast ground at Windsor and Yarmouth and ran well in the Coventry in-between. Disappointing in sales race at Newmarket a fortnight ago though and work to do off his mark now handicapping. Worth his allotted big weight, provided the form of his Coventry effort is repeated.
4	2 4th (2) (5/1 +58%) Nazalan	5 5/1(+58%)	(2) Nazalan 5/1, Made all in 5f Sandown novice on second start but limitations rather exposed since, merely plugging on in C&D sales race 17 days ago. Step up needed now handicapping. Has kept good company since novice win, most recently eighth in sales race here.
5th	7 5th (7) (18/1 -29%) Sennockian	18 18/1(-29%)	(7) Sennockian 18/1, Decent start in 5f/6f contests but ran a shocker at Ayr when last seen in July. Given a break and no surprise to see him get back on the up now handicapping. Form dipped when last seen but this Johnston colt may bounce back; nursery debut.
6th	5 6th (5) (14/1 -211%) Taygar	14 14/1(-211%)	(5) Taygar 14/1, Made a successful debut at Beverley early on. Better effort since when third at Redcar and that form is looking good (winner now rated 89, Big Evs in second rated 106, fourth on 95). Firm player if she can improve now handicapping after break up in trip. Split useful performers when last seen; interesting on return from layoff.

LTO Selection:

In an open event, marginal preference is for TROPICAL ISLAND, who was only narrowly denied in a good novice event at Ripon. Now switched to nursery company, Richard Fahey's filly could be hard to stop off an opening mark of 83. Batal Zabeel is an obvious threat following his successful handicap bow at Beverley, while Media Shooter edges out Watch My Tracer to be best of the rest.

TROPICAL ISLAND looks well-in for her nursery debut after a fine effort at Ripon and makes plenty of appeal under William Buick. Batal Zabeel is feared most, although Taygar could do better now handicapping after a break with her Redcar form looking very good.

The suggestion is TAYGAR who looks well handicapped on her last novice effort. Tropical Island is second choice.

Open to further progress. Considered. More needed after latest but probably more to come and could be dangerous to underestimate.
2	8 2nd (8) (4/1 +20%) Vespertilio	4 4/1(+20%)	(8) Vespertilio 4/1, Night Of Thunder filly who has improved a chunk with each of her three starts, landing Debutante Stakes over C&D (good to soft) 22 days ago by 1¾ lengths from Sakti. Can make her presence felt. Decisively landed the Debutante; big chance of turning the tables with Ylang Ylang here.
3	5 3rd (5) (8.5/1 -31%) Porta Fortuna	8.5 8.5/1(-31%)	(5) Porta Fortuna 8.5/1, Caravaggio filly who completed a hat-trick in Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot (6f) in June. Good second of 7 to Bucanero Fuerte in Phoenix Stakes here (6f) 29 days ago. Should go well again on her first go over 7f. Runner-up in the Phoenix Stakes and looked as though the extra furlong would suit that day.
3	3 3rd (3) (20/1 +39%) Ornellaia	20 20/1(+39%)	(3) Ornellaia 20/1, Improving Night of Thunder filly who followed Goodwood maiden victory with excellent 1¼ lengths second of 8 to Les Pavots in Prix du Calvados at Deauville (7f, soft) 22 days ago. Can go well again. Improving filly but this might just be a step too far at this stage.
5th	6 5th (6) (9/1 +0%) Red Viburnum	9 9/1(+0%)	(6) Red Viburnum 9/1, Highly promising Frankel filly who shaped really well when third of 11 in minor event over C&D (9/4) on her debut 29 days ago, closing all way to line having run green. Open to significant improvement for last year's winning yard. Takes her chance here as a maiden for the sponsors; most intriguing runner.
6th	7 6th (7) (33/1 +34%) She's Quality	33 33/1(+34%)	(7) She's Quality 33/1, Fairly useful filly who readily landed the odds in 16-runner maiden at Newbury (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago. This is much tougher but she's no forlorn hope. Landed a Newbury maiden last week; has a fair bit to find in this company.
7th	1 7th (1) (33/1 +18%) Brilliant	33 33/1(+18%)	(1) Brilliant 33/1, Gleneagles filly who got off the mark at Leopardstown in July. Good placed efforts in listed race at Tipperary (7.5f) and Flame of Tara Stakes here (1m) since. Has more to offer so she's in the mix. Respectable efforts last twice; needs to find significantly more here though.
8th	4 8th (4) (40/1 +39%) Pearls And Rubies	40 40/1(+39%)	(4) Pearls And Rubies 40/1, Made a winning debut at Navan (5f) in June and has posted solid efforts since, fifth of 8 to Vespertilio in Debutante Stakes over C&D (good to soft) 22 days ago. Possibilities. Progress was halted in the Debutante here last month and looks up against it on that form.
9th	9 9th (9) (1.2/1 -20%) Ylang Ylang	1.2 1.2/1(-20%)	(9) Ylang Ylang 1.2/1, Highly promising Frankel filly who has made all in C&D maiden and Silver Flash Stakes at Leopardstown (7f, by 1½ lengths from Vespertilio) this summer. Capable of a fair bit better still. Big shout. Favourites chance but it should be a much closer contest between her and Vespertilio today.

LTO Selection:

YLANG YLANG has created a fine impression in both of her victories to date and looks more than capable of landing a hat-trick now stepped up to the highest level. Vespertilio (second) finished behind the selection at Leopardstown in July and franked that form when winning a Group 2 over course and distance last month. The Night Of Thunder filly is feared most, ahead of the consistent Porta Fortuna, who looks a potential improver now upped to 7f.

Aidan O'Brien's 1.5 million Frankel filly YLANG YLANG has created an excellent impression in going 2-2 thus far and is fancied to take this step up in class in her stride in a fascinating Moyglare Stud. Albany victor Porta Fortuna should find this step up to 7f to her benefit and is next on the list ahead of the unexposed Red Viburnum and Sweet Solero heroine Fallen Angel.

The tactics were executed much better on VESPERTILIO when she won the Debutante impressively and she will be hard to beat

2	4 2nd (4) (2.5/1 +50%) Icare Grandchamp	2.5 2.5/1(+50%)	(4) Icare Grandchamp 2.5/1, Showed plenty of ability in 2 hurdle outings in France. Disappointed in 3 outings for this yard at the end of 2022 but no shock were he to bounce back with a bang after 9 months off. Hood he's worn previously in Britain left off. Market confidence would look significant. Unexposed after only five runs but it takes a leap of faith to support him here.
3	5 3rd (5) (10/1 -11%) Sermando	10 10/1(-11%)	(5) Sermando 10/1, Positive start for this yard when winning 7-runner handicap hurdle at Fakenham and placed in hurdle/chase at Worcester on next 2 starts. Run of good form came to abrupt halt when pulled up over fences here last month. Ran poorly in a recent chase but was in good form beforehand; might bounce back.
4	2 4th (2) (5/1 -233%) Shallow River	5 5/1(-233%)	(2) Shallow River 5/1, Low-mileage 7-y-o who ended his time with Fergal O'Brien with runner-up efforts at Market Rasen and Perth. Claims if showing up in similar form on his first outing for his new yard. Runner-up on final two starts for Fergal O'Brien; likely contender again on stable debut.

LTO Selection:

WATERGRANGE JACK has flourished since being reunited with Sam Twiston-Davies and, having won his last two starts in a gritty manner, he is likely to be tough to overhaul in his bid for a hat-trick. A 5lb rise looks fair for his success over an extended 2m5f at this venue 17 days ago, but the drop in trip can help Shallow River ensure this is a good test for the selection. Sermando can also go well on these terms.

WATERGRANGE JACK has discovered the winning habit lately and might be up to completing the hat-trick. Shallow River rates an obvious threat, while Icare Grandchamp can be made to look very well treated on his French form and is one to monitor closely in the betting back from a break.

Excused his odds-on defeat last time, SHALLOW RIVER will be a tough nut to crack if matching his Market Rasen form from June.

Bit below form when 4 lengths fourth back at the Curragh last time. Should be thereabouts but a 5 lb penalty for the Group 3 win demands a career best. Two wins in July but form dipped last time; not best at the weights, under 5lb penalty.

Disappointing back in France last time but she's capable of shrugging that off. Has first-time cheekpieces added to her regular tongue tie. Dual Listed scorer on French soil but needs a career best to land this prize.

Also second in a 6f Newbury Listed and sixth of 17 in King's Stand at Royal Ascot at the start of the summer. Freshened up since a disappointing run in handicap company at Newmarket in July. Second to Shaquille in May; this 3yo may still have more to offer; not dismissed.

Ran well on final start for Joseph O'Brien; lesser effort over C&D last time.

LTO Selection:

Successful in the Haydock Sprint Cup this time two years ago, EMARAATY ANA proved he still has plenty of zest when narrowly denied in Listed company at Newmarket. That was a particularly encouraging effort and given that he was won over C&D, the son of Shamardal should have too much for Hackwood winner Commanche Falls. Rage Of Bamby almost sprung a surprise in a handicap at the Ebor Festival here and is another to consider, along with the capable Diligent Harry.

EMARAATY ANA tends to come good at this time of year so Kevin Ryan's very classy 7-y-o is well worth a chance to build on his back-to-form second at Newmarket last month. Rage of Bamby, ran a corker in handicap company at the Ebor meeting and looks next best.

The vote goes to RAGE OF BAMBY (nap), who holds solid claims off bottom weight back at Listed level. Emaraaty Ana is feared most.

3	1 3rd (1) (1/1 +75%) Bucanero Fuerte	1 1/1(+75%)	(1) Bucanero Fuerte 1/1, Landed the Group 2 Railway at the Irish Derby meeting and improved another chunk again when a dominant winner of the Group 1 Phoenix here last month (both 6f). Excitingly, he promises to be even better over 7f. The trip should not be a problem for the impressive Phoenix Stakes winner, acid test now.
4	3 4th (3) (66/1 +74%) Cuban Thunder	66 66/1(+74%)	(3) Cuban Thunder 66/1, Won a York maiden at the Dante meeting but well behind Bucanero Fuerte in the Coventry at Royal Ascot and City of Troy in the Superlative at Newmarket since. First run for this yard after leaving Dominic Ffrench Davis. A new stablemate for Bucanero Fuerte, a supporting role or just making up the numbers.

LTO Selection:

CITY OF TROY could hardly have been more impressive when pulling clear of his rivals in the Superlartive Stakes at Newmarket last month. That performance suggests that the son of Justify is more than capable of making his mark at Group 1 level and he merits the utmost respect. That said, Bucanero Fuerte cannot be discounted following his four-length win in the Phoenix Stakes here last month, while similar comments apply to the selection's stablemate Henry Longfellow after his Futurity success.

A mouthwatering clash between CITY OF TROY and Bucanero Fuerte. The latter was most impressive in the 6f Phoenix here and isn't opposed lightly with 7f promising to suit him even better but City of Troy looked something out of the ordinary when trouncing his rivals in the Superlative and can stretch his unbeaten record to 3.

Ryan Moore is declared for CITY OF TROY who can enhance his Classic claims by accounting for Phoenix Stakes winner Bucanero Fuerte

16:10 Fontwell Handicap Chase (Class 5) 22f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (4/1 +0%) Toad Of Toad Hall	4 4/1(+0%)	(4) Toad Of Toad Hall 4/1, Career best when winning 5-runner handicap chase over 3¼m in May but not in anything like the same form when a remote fifth at Market Rasen 12 weeks later. Return to this venue needs to spark a revival. Wide-margin course winner two starts ago but far too inconsistent to rely upon.
2	2 2nd (2) (2.25/1 +36%) Bensini	2.25 2.25/1(+36%)	(2) Bensini 2.25/1, Won 2½m Worcester handicap hurdle in July and respectable efforts in defeat at Southwell and Newton Abbot since. Claims if taking to fences at the first time of asking. Won over hurdles in July and has big role to play here if he takes well to fences.
3	1 3rd (1) (3/1 -71%) Zoran	3 3/1(-71%)	(1) Zoran 3/1, Struck at the second time of asking over fences in 2½m Worcester handicap last month. Not in the same form when a well-held fourth there 3 week later but this looks a decent opportunity for him to bounce back. Disappointing favourite last time but won in good style two runs ago; major player.
4	6 4th (6) (28/1 -27%) Auld Sod	28 28/1(-27%)	(6) Auld Sod 28/1, Unreliable individual who has been pulled up on all 3 stars since finishing third over 3¼m here in May. Placed over 3m2f here in May but pulled up all three starts since.
5th	5 5th (5) (7.5/1 -25%) An Marcach	7.5 7.5/1(-25%)	(5) An Marcach 7.5/1, Just 1 win from 39 starts. Nowhere near as good as his last 2 form figures might suggest, beaten 47 lengths when second over 3¼m here in May and last of 4 at Cartmel since. Ran better than bare form suggests last time but remains difficult to enthuse over.
6th	3 6th (3) (4/1 +38%) No Worries	4 4/1(+38%)	(3) No Worries 4/1, Won 3 times over hurdles in 2021/22 season and struck on Ludlow chase debut last November. Hasn't built on that since but has reached the frame at Worcester on his last 2 starts and he should be competitive here. Won off this mark on chasing debut in November but not in the same form this season.

LTO Selection:

Toad Of Toad Hall was a winner over 3m2f here in May and is respected, while Bensini, who was successful over timber at Worcester in July, is open to improvement. However, ZORAN has the most convincing profile based on recent performances and would take plenty of stopping if reproducing the form that saw him win over 2m4f at Worcester two starts ago.

This looks a good opportunity for ZORAN to bounce back from a lesser run at Worcester and land a second win of the season. Bensini might be the one to give him most to do if taking to chasing at the first time of asking.

Another chance is given to ZORAN, who didn't fire last time but was a comfortable winner two starts ago and still has low mileage.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	10 1st (10) (5.5/1 +8%) Anjo Bonita	5.5 5.5/1(+8%)	(10) Anjo Bonita 5.5/1, Has made a positive start for her current yard and scored with something up her sleeve in a 7-runner event at Hamilton last month. More to come, so very much respected. This is deeper than at Hamilton but should be in the thick of it off 4lb higher.
2	13 2nd (13) (3.33/1 -11%) Mathematician	3.33 3.33/1(-11%)	(13) Mathematician 3.33/1, Left previous form well behind when scoring at Newcastle last time and his pedigree/connections give him the scope for further progress, so capable of following up. Only 3lb higher than for Newcastle victory and there's scope for further improvement.
3	7 3rd (7) (28/1 -56%) Award Dancer	28 28/1(-56%)	(7) Award Dancer 28/1, 9/2, 17½ lengths last of 11 to Jewel Maker in handicap at Redcar (10f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Others have achieved more. Ran no race at all behind Jewel Maker last time and has questions to answer over this far.
4	9 4th (9) (12/1 +33%) Bosc Girl	12 12/1(+33%)	(9) Bosc Girl 12/1, Hasn't had much racing and upped his game when a clear second (despite pulling hard) at Doncaster onn penultimate outing. Failed to back that up at Chepstow but shouldn't be written off. Three times runner-up but 0-6 overall and Chepstow last time was underwhelming.
5th	8 5th (8) (6.5/1 +46%) Highwaygrey	6.5 6.5/1(+46%)	(8) Highwaygrey 6.5/1, Hasn't won for a while but he's slipped in the weights as a result and there have been more encouraging signs lately. Worthy of interest in first-time cheekpieces. Well handicapped and was third last time over an inadequate 1m1f; now in cheekpieces.
6th	2 6th (2) (25/1 -25%) Animato	25 25/1(-25%)	(2) Animato 25/1, Largely held his form well last term, adding to his tally at Doncaster (11.9f). Hasn't fired so far this term but shaped as if retaining ability when eighth at same track last time, so not ruled out from a handy mark. He wasn't beaten all that far at Doncaster last time after a break; could step up on that.
7th	3 7th (3) (10/1 +60%) Piecederesistance	10 10/1(+60%)	(3) Piecederesistance 10/1, Won at Pontefract 12 months ago and turned his best effort of the season when runner-up in that corresponding event on penultimate outing. Latest run at Sandown was disappointing, though. Never been the easiest to win with and can race freely as was the case last time.
8th	1 8th (1) (8.5/1 +0%) Eeetee	8.5 8.5/1(+0%)	(1) Eeetee 8.5/1, Bagged handicaps at Haydock and Redcar during the spring and one of his 2 victories last year was gained over this C&D. Latest effort here best excused (met trouble), so dangerous to rule out. 7lb higher than for his success in this race last year and he was in better form back then.
9th	5 9th (5) (7.5/1 -88%) King Triton	7.5 7.5/1(-88%)	(5) King Triton 7.5/1, 17/2, good sixth of 10 in handicap at Ripon (9.8f, good) 12 days ago, met some trouble and finished with running left. Well treated and seems to be building up to something. Okay in two 1m2f handicaps this season without smacking of a winner waiting to happen.
10th	12 10th (12) (25/1 -25%) Jewel Maker	25 25/1(-25%)	(12) Jewel Maker 25/1, Back on the scoreboard when taking 11-runner handicap at Redcar (10f, good to firm) in August and might have found the race coming too soon at Beverley a week later. Faces another quick turnaround now, though. Probably needs more than when winning a Class 5 at Redcar last month and poor since.
11th	11 11th (11) (16/1 +27%) Jo's Rainbow	16 16/1(+27%)	(11) Jo's Rainbow 16/1, Winner at Haydock in June but has failed to beat a rival on both starts since. Capable filly as she showed at Haydock in June, but not beaten a rival since then.
12th	4 12th (4) (7.5/1 +17%) Shimmering Sands	7.5 7.5/1(+17%)	(4) Shimmering Sands 7.5/1, Career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Doncaster in June and at least respectable efforts last two starts. Should be on the premises. Weak in the finish last time but his previous fourth here brings him into the equation.
13th	6 13th (6) (25/1 -39%) Feel The Need	25 25/1(-39%)	(6) Feel The Need 25/1, Has been in reasonable heart lately but he didn't look any more straightforward in a first-time visoor at Redcar last time. Hard to win with. 0-9 in handicaps and was beaten just under 5l when third in a first-time visor at Redcar.

LTO Selection:

ANJO BONITA appeared to win with something in hand on just her second appearance for Roger Fell and Sean Murray at Hamilton recently. The Harry Angel filly is fancied to complete a double off 4lb higher at the expense of Mathematician, who enters the reckoning on the back of his all-weather success at Newcastle last month. A 3lb rise is unlikely to prevent another bold bid, while Highwaygrey and Feel The Need are others to note.

MATHEMATICIAN and Anjo Bonita are both 3yos going the right way and they may well dominate against, on the whole, more exposed types. Preference is for the first-named, who is bred to go on progressing, and of the remainder King Triton looks the most appealing.

Although SHIMMERING SANDS flattered to deceive last time, he's unlikely to be far away with a repeat of his previous effort here.

1	2 1st (2) (3.2/1 +4%) Eldar Eldarov	3.2 3.2/1(+4%)	(2) Eldar Eldarov 3.2/1, Last year's St Leger winner at Doncaster who stepped up on even that form when second under a Group 1 penalty in the Yorkshire Cup on his reappearance. Below that level when seventh in Gold Cup at Ascot and fourth in Goodwood Cup since and will need to be back to his very best to trouble Kyprios Last season's St Leger winner, 1m6f probably close to his optimum, may improve on Cup form.
2	3 2nd (3) (0.67/1 +39%) Kyprios	0.67 0.67/1(+39%)	(3) Kyprios 0.67/1, Won 4 Group 1s in an outstanding 2022 season, including this race. Produced one of the best performances by a stayer for years when a remarkable 20-length winner of Cadran at Longchamp on final start. This a belated return after suffering a setback in the spring but he should still be hard to beat. Boasted a perfect 6-6 record last season including this race, reported in fine shape.
3	1 3rd (1) (3.5/1 +83%) Dawn Rising	3.5 3.5/1(+83%)	(1) Dawn Rising 3.5/1, Very useful novice hurdle for this yard last winter and has continued in good form back on the Flat, winning Queen Alexandra at Royal Ascot before ½-length second to Shamida in a C&D Group 3 21 days ago. This a lot harder. Queen Alexandra Stakes winner, second in a four-runner Group 2 latest, big ask here.
4	4 4th (4) (20/1 -43%) Yashin	20 20/1(-43%)	(4) Yashin 20/1, Smart gelding who had Dawn Rising behind in third when winning 1¾m Leopardstown Group 3 on his reappearance in May. Not in the same form when well beaten behind Emily Dickinson in a C&D Group 2 in July but back to form when 3 lengths seventh of 22 in Ebor at York last month. Won 1m6f Group 3 at Leopardstown in May, seventh in Ebor since poor Curragh Cup run.

LTO Selection:

All eyes will be on the returning KYPRIOS as he makes his first appearance since completing the perfect season last year with a demolition job in the Prix du Cadran at Longchamp. Unfortunately, the five-year-old has been sidelined for the majority of this campaign due to a setback, but he has clearly been pleasing connections in recent weeks and is a cut above the opposition based on his achievements in 2022. Stable companion Emily Dickinson (second) and Eldar Eldarov (fourth) both had no chance from their positions in the Goodwood Cup, but the pair are more than capable of taking advantage if the selection falters.

This year's renewal of the Irish St Leger features the much-awaited return to action of the outstanding KYPRIOS who was unstoppable over 1¾m+ last year and can make light of his absence and land a fifth Group 1 win in a row. Stablemate Emily Dickinson can give him most to do.

Last year's staying star KYPRIOS suffered a joint infection which has delayed his return. If he has avoided ill effects he will win

1	3 1st (3) (5/1 +9%) My Louise	5 5/1(+9%)	(3) My Louise 5/1, Passing Glance mare. Dam no form in bumpers. Doesn't make much appeal on paper but starts out in a weak event. First foal; dam well held in bumpers for this stable; makes only limited appeal.
2	1 2nd (1) (8/1 +11%) Dance In The Park	8 8/1(+11%)	(1) Dance In The Park 8/1, Walk In The Park mare. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 3m) Breedsbreeze. Wears hood. Out of half-sister to smart jumper Breedsbreeze; doesn't need to be anything special.
3	6 3rd (6) (20/1 -264%) Little Madam	20 20/1(-264%)	(6) Little Madam 20/1, Out of a bumper winner and, while she shaped as if amiss at Stratford first time out, she's worth another chance to show what she's capable of. Ran as though something was amiss on last month's Stratford debut; should do better here.
4	5 4th (5) (1.1/1 +63%) Chesky's In Milan	1.1 1.1/1(+63%)	(5) Chesky's In Milan 1.1/1, 8/1, twelfth of 14 in bumper at Ascot (15.7f, good to soft) on NH debut. Off 6 months. Stable has a good record in this sphere and she might be worth chancing if the market speaks in her favour. Always towards rear at Ascot in February but today's race is much easier.
5th	4 5th (4) (16/1 -357%) Zoe Alyssa	16 16/1(-357%)	(4) Zoe Alyssa 16/1, Kingston Hill mare. Half-sister to bumper winner Wells Glory (won on debut). Last of 5 in bumper (8/1) at Market Rasen (16.6f, good) on NH debut 35 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Last of five in what looked a modest mares' race at Market Rasen last month.
6th	2 6th (2) (3.5/1 -17%) Hubble Trubble	3.5 3.5/1(-17%)	(2) Hubble Trubble 3.5/1, Related to a couple of winners and, while she didn't show a great deal at Warwick 6 months ago, she might prove a different proposition with the benefit of experience. Always towards rear on debut in February but stable usually does well in bumpers.

LTO Selection:

Zoe Alyssa can improve now that she is tried with a tongue-tie fitted, while Dance In The Park offers some appeal on pedigree as she is out of an unraced half-sister to the Grade 1 winner Breedsbreeze. However, CHESKY'S IN MILAN shades preference as she drops in class for her second career start. Her dam was a bumper winner and this is notably easier than the Ascot contest that she contested on her racecourse debut.

CHESKY'S IN MILAN didn't go with a great deal of promise at Ascot on debut but she's entitled to have strengthened up in the 6 months since and so she's worth taking a chance on in a very thin race. Hubble Trubble and Little Madam fit a similar mould in that they could leave their debut form well behind but the market should be informative.

Only beaten about 22l at Ascot in February, CHESKY'S IN MILAN might be the answer to this weak bumper.

In the picture. Ran a cracker over a bit further at the Ebor meeting; 3lb drop looks generous; interesting.
2	12 2nd (12) (33/1 -18%) Wen Moon	33 33/1(-18%)	(12) Wen Moon 33/1, Scored at Pontefract in April but he's been in and out since, only fifth of 6 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, soft) 36 days ago. Others appeal more. Pontefract winner in April (6f, soft) but subsequent efforts suggest he's up against it.
3	2 3rd (2) (6/1 +0%) Pillow Talk	6 6/1(+0%)	(2) Pillow Talk 6/1, C&D winner who posted a respectable fourth of 14 in handicap back at this C&D 18 days ago. Visor goes on now and can't be ruled out. Well suited by C&D and won't need much more for the fitting of a visor to play a key role.
4	11 4th (11) (16/1 +43%) Brooklyn Nine Nine	16 16/1(+43%)	(11) Brooklyn Nine Nine 16/1, Returned with 6f Newcastle success and looked to be on the up until (first-time cheekpieces) only eighth of 10 in handicap at Leicester (6f, good to firm) in May. No surprise to see him bounce back after a break. 6f AW winner in March & went close on h'cap debut in April; less good latest; drops to 5f.
5th	4 5th (4) (12/1 +33%) Lakota Blue	12 12/1(+33%)	(4) Lakota Blue 12/1, Scored at Ripon in April and in good form since until only twelfth of 18 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good) 22 days ago. Sort to bounce back. Goodwood 2nd (soft ground) gives him claims but he may need more of a test than this at 5f.
6th	16 6th (16) (14/1 -17%) Profitable Edge	14 14/1(-17%)	(16) Profitable Edge 14/1, Ex-Irish filly who has been a different proposition for this yard, easily winning 5f handicap at Ripon in August before good third of 11 at Chester (5f) 8 days ago. Not taken lightly in first-time cheekpieces. Good run at Chester last time but the cheekpieces will need to prompt further progress.
7th	10 7th (10) (20/1 +20%) Swift Asset	20 20/1(+20%)	(10) Swift Asset 20/1, Back to winning ways at Bath in July but only eleventh of 12 in handicap at Sandown (5f, good) 8 days ago. Merits consideration if shrugging off latest effort. Form dipped at Sandown last week and he looks vulnerable in this grade.
8th	3 8th (3) (20/1 +39%) Grace Angel	20 20/1(+39%)	(3) Grace Angel 20/1, Earned her second front-running victory of the year at Haydock in June but in nowhere near the same form at Chepstow and Doncaster since. Bounce back needed. Struggled the last twice; looks vulnerable given the amount of other early speed on show.
9th	1 9th (1) (4/1 -14%) Squealer	4 4/1(-14%)	(1) Squealer 4/1, C&D scorer in 2022 who resumed winning ways in impressive style at Doncaster (5f) 22 days ago. Up 7 lb but another bold showing is on the cards. Had been threatening prior to an impressive Doncaster win last month; up 7lb but feared.
10th	18 10th (18) (28/1 -40%) Northcliff	28 28/1(-40%)	(18) Northcliff 28/1, Remains a maiden after 16 runs and comes here below par, cheekpieces tried when tenth of 17 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good) 22 days ago. Blinkers are reached for now. Contender on last year's best but it's been a struggle in recent months; new headgear.
11th	14 11th (14) (20/1 -11%) Match Play	20 20/1(-11%)	(14) Match Play 20/1, Resumed winning ways at Haydock in June and backed it up with a good third of 7 at Redcar (5f, good to firm) 78 days ago. Needs considering. Ran OK off this revised mark at Redcar in June; can do better but such progress is needed.
12th	13 12th (13) (14/1 +0%) Miss Brazen	14 14/1(+0%)	(13) Miss Brazen 14/1, Went in on second start for this yard at Beverley in May but in a bit of a lull until posting a good third of 10 to Squealer at Doncaster (5f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Needs to back it up. Only 3rd to Squealer last time but she's capable on her day and looks on a fair mark.
13th	17 13th (17) (25/1 -25%) Honour Your Dreams	25 25/1(-25%)	(17) Honour Your Dreams 25/1, Got off the mark for 2023 at Hamilton in July and recorded a good second of 11 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. Boasts more ability than his mark suggests but that still might not be enough here.
14th	9 14th (9) (10/1 -11%) Spirit Of Applause	10 10/1(-11%)	(9) Spirit Of Applause 10/1, Scored at Haydock in May and has caught the eye on his last two starts, latest when smooth-travelling fourth of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Very much one to consider back at 5f. 6f winner in May; a couple of good runs since but others look stronger in this field.
15th	6 15th (6) (9/1 -13%) Dream For Gold	9 9/1(-13%)	(6) Dream For Gold 9/1, Winner at Chelmsford City in February but he found his good run of form coming to a half when only seventh at Ripon (6f, good) 22 days ago. Shouldn't be written off for last year's winning yard. Up in weights after two 2nds in July; fast 5f asks a different question of him.
16th	15 16th (15) (11/1 +21%) Star Of Lady M	11 11/1(+21%)	(15) Star Of Lady M 11/1, Four-time winner as a juvenile who arrives in decent nick, left poorly placed when seventh of 14 in handicap over C&D (good to firm) 18 days ago. In the mix. Down in weights but unable to take advantage; not beaten far here latest; can't rule out.
17th	5 17th (5) (18/1 +36%) Tatterstall	18 18/1(+36%)	(5) Tatterstall 18/1, Landed Wolverhampton maiden on return before doubling his tally with a career-best victory at Epsom in June. Last of 10 to Squealer at Doncaster (5f, good to firm) 22 days ago though so has a bit to prove. Looked good at Epsom on Derby day but he's struggled twice since, running poorly latest.

LTO Selection:

The impressive recent Doncaster winner Squealer could be vulnerable after a 7lb rise in the ratings. Dream For Gold, Brooklyn Nine Nine and Star Of Lady M all have to be of some interest but PILLOW TALK may take some stopping if a first-time visor has the desired effect. Karl Burke's lightly-raced filly showed up well at a higher level over course and distance last time out and looks more than capable of winning off her current mark.

This looks wide open but SQUEALER rates the pick of the weights despite taking a 7 lb rise for his ready Doncaster success so edges the vote. Spirit of Applause should find this return to the minimum trip in his favour so rates the chief danger, although the likes of Thunder Moor, Looking For Lynda and Profitable Edge all command plenty of respect too.

Karl Burke holds a strong hand in a competitive event with LOOKING FOR LYNDA marginally preferred to Pillow Talk.

Lots to like as he made a winning debut in 9-runner novice at York (6f, good to firm) on debut in May, forging clear. Given time since and sets the standard here with improvement to come.

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, ninth of 11 in nursery at this course (6f, good to soft, 66/1) 21 days ago. Mid-division in a good maiden here in May his best effort; gelded since his last run.
10th	12 10th (12) (80/1 +0%) Pearl Jewel	80 80/1(+0%)	(12) Pearl Jewel 80/1, Foaled February 11. €1,000 foal, €11,500 yearling, Free Eagle filly. Half-sister to useful 5f-1m winner Earls and 7f winner Dubirango. Related to some good winners at up to 1m3f but likely best watched here.

LTO Selection:

NATIVE AMERICAN has not been in action since an impressive victory at York in May and he looks to have been laid out for this valuable contest with Colin Keane booked for the ride. Richard Fahey's colt could be anything and he is preferred to Nikki Swango, who continues to improve with each start, as well as promising Navan fourth Lively Set. Eve Johnson Houghton won this contest last year and she appears to have two solid contenders this time around in Mercian Warrior and Revenue.

British raiders have mopped up this valuable sales race and NATIVE AMERICAN makes plenty of appeal for Richard Fahey, who took this in 2020 with one under Colin Keane. He made an impressive start when scoring at York in May and could be hard to beat if improving as expected. Nikki Swango is feared most, ahead of Lively Set.

The one to be on here could be NIKKI SWANGO(nap), an improving filly who ran into a very good one at Cork last time and can land this

Expected to build on that and given a chance by the assessor. Didn't run at all badly on his stable debut at Naas last month after a year off; contender.

Fairly useful on the Flat and given bit of a chance by the handicapper. Back on the Flat now off a 1lb higher mark than May and could well outrun his likely odds.
22nd	19 22nd (19) (80/1 -21%) High Honour	80 80/1(-21%)	(19) High Honour 80/1, Last of 11 in handicap (25/1) at York (11.8f, firm). Off 115 days. First run for yard after leaving Charlie Appleby. Something to find on form. Pitched in at the handicap deep end here for his Irish debut and best watched.

LTO Selection:

Johnny Murtagh sent out a 1-2-3 in this event 12 months ago and can taste further glory courtesy of TAKE HEART, who ended Golden Spangle's hat-trick ambitions at Naas and is open to plenty of further improvement. Starry Eyed and Genuine Article are other unexposed three-year-olds to consider, while the latter's stablemate Coeur d'Or tops the weights on the back of his Irish Cambridgeshire triumph, although third home Crystal Black could reverse that form. Didn'thavemuchtodo seems on a nice mark for one who has gone close in Listed company more than once.

Up-and-coming 3-y-os TAKE HEART and Genuine Article are put up against with the field, with marginal preference for the former on the back of his taking win at Naas a fortnight ago. Of the rest, Midgam should be all the better for his reappearance/stable debut and has been given a chance by the assessor.

The answer could be MIGDAM, a three-time winner for Sir Michael Stoute who caught the eye with a very nice run at Naas two weeks ago

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.
