13:50 Doncaster Handicap (Class 5) 10f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (3.33/1 +26%) Ala Kaifi	3.33 3.33/1(+26%)	(5) Ala Kaifi 3.33/1, Fair form in maiden/novice company and raised his game when going close on handicap debut at Newmarket in July. Ran to similar level in first-time blinkers when third of 5 in handicap at Haydock (10.4f, good, 10/3) 36 days ago, so isn't taken lightly. Five-race maiden who is proving consistent; went close over C&D three starts ago.
2	1 2nd (1) (7/1 -75%) Richard P Smith	7 7/1(-75%)	(1) Richard P Smith 7/1, Very much had the run of the race when getting off the mark for the season at Lingfield in May and after a pair of lesser efforts, bounced back to form when third of 9 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 32 days ago. Shortlist material. Sole start under Saffie Osborne resulted in Lingfield win in May off 2lb lower.
3	4 3rd (4) (5/1 -122%) Ayyab	5 5/1(-122%)	(4) Ayyab 5/1, Has progressed gradually in maidens/novice events, taking another step forward when runner-up in 9-runner event at Nottingham (8.3f, good to soft) 33 days ago. Should do better over this longer trip and she's a highly-respected handicap newcomer. Could well take another step forward now handicapping and upped in distance; respected.
4	6 4th (6) (4/1 +50%) Palamon	4 4/1(+50%)	(6) Palamon 4/1, Yet to get his head in front but has shaped as if there's a bigger performance in his locker, plugging on from rear when fourth at Sandown early last month. Didn't immediately improve as expected for the longer trip when filling the same place at Newmarket (10f, good to firm) but isn't written off. Six-race maiden; has shown consistent form since handicapping.
5th	10 5th (10) (20/1 -11%) Corsican Caper	20 20/1(-11%)	(10) Corsican Caper 20/1, Winless in 10 starts for Kevin Philippart De Foy but wasn't beaten too far when seventh in a 9-runner event at Nottingham on his yard debut last month. Went backwards at Southwell last time, though, so needs to bounce back with visor reapplied. 3yo maiden who is looking rather exposed now.
6th	9 6th (9) (9/1 -29%) Khangai	9 9/1(-29%)	(9) Khangai 9/1, Improved form when winning at Chepstow (1¼m) in June and quickly got back on track when second of 8 in handicap at Ffos Las (10f, heavy) 16 days ago. Respected with cheekpieces on 1st time. Raced mainly on Class 6; bit to prove in this grade but arrives in form.
7th	7 7th (7) (14/1 -27%) Knights Affair	14 14/1(-27%)	(7) Knights Affair 14/1, Promising second in 4-runner event at Ripon on debut but hasn't replicated that form since, merely passing beaten rivals when fifth of 7 in minor event (17/2) at Catterick (7f, good) 18 days ago. More needed stepping up in trip for handicap debut. Possible improver upped to 1m2f on handicap debut.
8th	8 8th (8) (14/1 +36%) Redcliff Glen	14 14/1(+36%)	(8) Redcliff Glen 14/1, Fair form at best in a maiden and 2 novice events across the space of 11 months. Failed to improve when seventh of 13 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 18 days ago and he'll likely need more to get in the mix here. Pedigree suggests this new trip is a possible source of improvement.
9th	3 9th (3) (16/1 +11%) Tribal Wisdom	16 16/1(+11%)	(3) Tribal Wisdom 16/1, Fairly useful form when runner-up on his first 3 starts (match race final occasion) last season but has lost his way since joining this yard, again posing no threat when seventh of 10 in handicap at this course (7f, soft, 100/1) 57 days ago. Has not threatened in his three runs for new stable.
10th	2 10th (2) (7/1 +36%) Arch Moon	7 7/1(+36%)	(2) Arch Moon 7/1, Ready winner on his second start of the year at Wetherby in May. Looked a bit short of pace when fifth of 7 in handicap (6/1) at Ayr (10f, good) 36 days ago though, so others are preferred. Form dipped last time; more exposed than some of these rivals.

LTO Selection:

Ayyab could go well here on his first try at the trip after running on into second over a mile at Nottingham, though she does have to give 8lb to KNIGHTS AFFAIR, which looks a big ask. He is also stepping up in trip after the Bated Breath gelding was slowly away at Catterick before running on into fifth and makes his handicap debut now off a sensible mark of 67. Khangai is another to consider in first-time cheekpieces for the in-form Mark Rimell yard, and he might try to make every post a winning one.

AYYAB has shown progressive form in 4 starts to date and the step up in trip may unlock the biggest leap forward yet, so Sean Woods's filly is fancied to make a winning handicap debut. Richard P Smith was right back to his best at Kempton last time and merits respect, with Ala Kaifi and Khangai others to make the shortlist.

The verdict goes to AYYAB, who is heading in the right direction. Ala Kaifi is second choice.

13:50 Doncaster Handicap (Class 5) 10f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:00 Listowel Conditions Hurdle 16f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	7 1st (7) (5/1 -43%) Wodhooh	5 5/1(-43%)	(7) Wodhooh 5/1, Fair maiden on the Flat, making jumps debut. 4/1, fourth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 90 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Sir Michael Stoute and joined excellent NH yard. Ex-Stoute; gets all the allowances here on her hurdles debut and certainly respected.
3	2 3rd (2) (3.5/1 +13%) Spinning Web	3.5 3.5/1(+13%)	(2) Spinning Web 3.5/1, Left Flat form well behind when making successful hurdles debut at Tipperary in July. 5/1, second of 8 in juvenile hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, good to soft) 16 days ago and that just about sets the standard. Tipperary winner and unlucky at Down Royal; big player here and handles most ground.
4	3 4th (3) (14/1 -180%) Hands On	14 14/1(-180%)	(3) Hands On 14/1, Flemensfirth gelding. Brother to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Marshalled, stays 3m. Newcomer for top connections. Unusual to see a juvenile hurdler from this yard; interesting runner but best watched.
5th	6 5th (6) (25/1 +50%) Burvea	25 25/1(+50%)	(6) Burvea 25/1, Fair maiden on the Flat. Unseated rider in juvenile hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, good to soft, 33/1) on NH debut 16 days ago. Running okay when unseating at the last at Down Royal; could be on an upward curve.
6th	4 6th (4) (80/1 -21%) Ifitwasme	80 80/1(-21%)	(4) Ifitwasme 80/1, Hooded for first time, 35¾ lengths seventh of 13 to Nurburgring in juvenile hurdle (100/1) at Killarney (17f, soft) on NH debut 23 days ago. Not disgraced on his hurdles debut behind Nurburgring at Killarney but much more needed.
1	1 \|DQ\| (1) (0.53/1 +36%) Nurburgring	0.53 0.53/1(+36%)	(1) Nurburgring 0.53/1, Promising sort. Useful winner at 13f on Flat. Tongue strap on, won 13-runner juvenile hurdle (7/4) at Killarney (17f, soft) on NH debut 23 days ago. Likely to improve, particularly as his jumping improves. Has to give away plenty of weight to most of these but looks certain to improve.

LTO Selection:

NURBURGRING travelled to Royal Ascot in June with a Flat rating of 96 and while no longer value for that mark, won on his recent hurdles debut. The Killarney runner-up had previously finished narrowly behind today's rival Spinning Web at Tipperary in July, but the selection should improve considerably jumping-wise from Killarney and, importantly, relishes soft ground. Spinning Web is rated just 48 on the flat but is progressive. He too has form on soft and ran well in a recent winners' hurdle but might struggle to beat the selection. Hands On is Enda Bolger's second ever three-year-old-hurdle runner and while likely to improve from this run, is by a top jumps stallion and is out of a Galileo-mare who has produced a six-time winner. Ex-Michael Stoute's Wodhooh, a 50,000gns July purchase, has form on the all-weather but was well held on her only soft-ground run and has a tough task on jumps debut.

NURBURGRING was pretty talented on the Flat and he overcame a few awkward jumps when making a winning start over hurdles at Killarney 3 weeks ago. With improvement likely, he's preferred to Spinning Web.

There should be plenty of improvement to come from NURBURGRING after winning at Killarney in spite of his jumping

14:15 Musselburgh Stakes (Class 2) 5f - 3 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (2.12/1 +39%) Ziggy's Queen	2.12 2.12/1(+39%)	(4) Ziggy's Queen 2.12/1, Showed fair form when placed on her first three starts but she came in a below-par eighth on her nursery debut at York (6f) 25 days ago. No surprise to see her bounce back. Fairly useful form when placed over 5f on first three starts; may yet do better.
2	2 2nd (2) (1.5/1 +33%) Lady Pink Rose	1.5 1.5/1(+33%)	(2) Lady Pink Rose 1.5/1, Landed 5f Beverley maiden in July but failed to settle when only eighth of 9 to Miaharris in listed race at Newbury (5.2f, good) 30 days ago. Hood goes on now and she's well worth another chance. Good seventh in Queen Mary at Royal Ascot but that remains her standout piece of form.
3	1 3rd (1) (1.75/1 -75%) Indispensable	1.75 1.75/1(-75%)	(1) Indispensable 1.75/1, Got off the mark at Ripon in June and not disgraced when a close seventh of 9 to Miaharris in listed race at Newbury (5.2f, good) 30 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. Not at best last time but was close third in soft-ground Listed race in July; big player.

LTO Selection:

INDISPENSABLE could only muster a seventh-placed finish in a Listed event at Newbury last month, but better is expected in these calmer waters. A second success of the season could be on the cards for William Haggas' filly and she is preferred to Lady Pink Rose, who was two lengths behind her in eighth position in the aforementioned contest. Ziggy's Queen has something to find judged on the ratings, although not a massive amount.

None of the trio can be ruled out but the vote goes to LADY PINK ROSE who holds the edge on form and could take another step forward now the hood goes on having been too free at Newbury. Indispensable and Ziggy's Queen have the form to play a big part as well.

The most obvious answer is INDISPENSABLE, who performed well in Listed company this summer and won't mind if the ground turns soft.

14:15 Musselburgh Stakes (Class 2) 5f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:25 Doncaster Handicap (Class 2) 7f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (4.5/1 +31%) Poet Master	4.5 4.5/1(+31%)	(5) Poet Master 4.5/1, Impressive when landing maiden/novice events over 7f this summer so shade disappointing he didn't make a better fist of things when eighth on handicap debut at Haydock (1m) 5 weeks ago. However, should find that aiding his development and not one to write off. Flopped over 1m on handicap debut but may have more to offer back at 7f.
2	7 2nd (7) (3.6/1 +20%) Zouky	3.6 3.6/1(+20%)	(7) Zouky 3.6/1, Unbeaten at 2 yrs and having finally got a race run to suit, she produced a career best to readily open her account in handicaps at Newbury (7f) 4 weeks ago. Good pace to aim at here will help and booking of William Buick an obvious plus. Suited by step up to 7f at Newbury last month, taking turf record to 3-4; respected.
3	4 3rd (4) (8.5/1 -13%) Dark Thirty	8.5 8.5/1(-13%)	(4) Dark Thirty 8.5/1, Likeable sort who proved most willing when adding to his tally in 6-runner Newmarket handicap (7f) 3 weeks ago. rallying to get back on top final 50 yds. 3 lb higher in what rates a stronger affair but he should give another good account. Game sort but possibly vulnerable off new mark against some unexposed rivals.
4	6 4th (6) (3.33/1 -33%) Nine Tenths	3.33 3.33/1(-33%)	(6) Nine Tenths 3.33/1, Upwardly mobile daughter of Kodiac who progressed as expected to make it 2 wins from 3 starts on return at Windsor (6f) back in May, by no means fully extended. In excellent hands and highly likely there's more to come now handicapping. Player. Progressive over 6f; bred to stay 7f and looks the type to do well in handicaps.
5th	2 5th (2) (6/1 +0%) Executive Decision	6 6/1(+0%)	(2) Executive Decision 6/1, Juvenile winner for Jessica Harrington (sold 82,000 gns) who has progressed into a useful sprinter for new yard, following up her Goodwood victory at Chepstow (6f) last month, displaying a good attitude. Arrives totally unexposed at 7f and underfoot conditions will hold no fears. Lot to like. 2-4 for new stable, the wins gained over 6f last month; gives impression she'll stay 7f.
6th	3 6th (3) (8.5/1 +39%) Ancestral Land	8.5 8.5/1(+39%)	(3) Ancestral Land 8.5/1, 6f novice winner at 2 yrs who ran up to his best when third (in first-time cheekpieces) at Sandown (7f) in June. Absent/gelded since and even better showing not ruled out equipped with first-time blinkers. Off since June; possibilities if he's helped by gelding operation and change of headgear.
7th	8 7th (8) (6.5/1 -30%) Reminder	6.5 6.5/1(-30%)	(8) Reminder 6.5/1, Dubawi filly who impressed when gaining second career success at Windsor (6f) last month, leading over 1f out and well on top finish. Denied a run at a crucial stage when fifth at Ascot (6f) subsequently and she remains one to be positive about now upped to 7f. Latest 6f effort suggests she's ready for a crack at 7f; still open to further improvement.
8th	9 8th (9) (25/1 -25%) Eden Storm	25 25/1(-25%)	(9) Eden Storm 25/1, Displayed signs of greenness but improved nevertheless on debut form to land 9-runner Wolverhampton novice (7f) in April and similar form when runner-up under a penalty back at that venue a month later. Makes turn/handicap debut in a warm-looking race however, so further progress required. Solid promise on AW in the spring; this is harder but market support should be heeded.

LTO Selection:

Executive Decision is looking for her hat-trick after wins at Goodwood and Chepstow, but she has 4lb more from the handicapper now and is upped in class which may end her winning run. Poet Master looked as if a mile was too far when only eighth at Haydock and will look to bounce back to winning ways, but NINE TENTHS is the pick. Just the one start this year saw a comfortable success at Windsor in May and although this will be her handicap debut, as a daughter of Kodiac, both trip and going may bring improvement.

NINE TENTHS marked herself down as a useful prospect when scoring impressively on return to action at Windsor in May and with further progress anticipated now handicapping William Haggas' filly could be the answer in a competitive affair. Executive Decision, who scored in good style at Chepstow, and Reminder head the dangers, whilst Zouky rates a danger to all granted a good pace to aim at.

Several runners are similarly appealing. The narrow vote goes to ZOUKY, ahead of Nine Tenths.

14:35 Listowel Conditions Hurdle 20f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	2 1st (2) (8/1 -60%) Popova	8 8/1(-60%)	(2) Popova 8/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 10/3, below form fifth of 10 in minor event hurdle at Bellewstown (17.2f, good) 18 days ago. Well beaten at Bellewstown latest; rated to go close and respected but has to bounce back.
2	4 2nd (4) (0.3/1 +76%) Space Tourist	0.3 0.3/1(+76%)	(4) Space Tourist 0.3/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 2 wins from 3 runs this season. 24½ lengths eighth of 9 to Arctic Fly in listed hurdle (11/2) at Galway (16.6f, good to soft) 47 days ago. Up in trip. Can bounce back. Jumped poorly at Galway; should be much better suited going left-handed; major contender.
3	5 3rd (5) (4/1 +20%) Miss Fourie	4 4/1(+20%)	(5) Miss Fourie 4/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 1 win from 3 runs this season. Latest win in hurdle at Bellewstown in July. Ninth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (17f, soft, 10/1) 23 days ago. Ran no race in a Listed handicap at Killarney last time; more needed here but respected.
4	1 4th (1) (40/1 -100%) Light Parade	40 40/1(-100%)	(1) Light Parade 40/1, Modest hurdler. Creditable third of 16 in handicap hurdle (4/1) at Ballinrobe (16.6f, good) 34 days ago. Back up in trip. Plenty to find at the weights here but likely to run her race and could sneak into it.
5th	6 5th (6) (50/1 -100%) C'est Rien	50 50/1(-100%)	(6) C'est Rien 50/1, 10/1, sixth of 12 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (17.7f, good to soft) 2 days ago. Others more persuasive. Well beaten in four hurdle outings since May and hard to make a case for.

LTO Selection:

Softening ground won't suit the principal runners but SPACE TOURIST ran well on yielding in March 2022 and notably reverts left-handed. All her recent runs have been at right-handed tracks, when jumping markedly left, and while a 41 length-winner at Kilbeggan, blundered at the second-last at Galway last month and should be seen in a better light going left-handed. She stays this distance but heavy ground mightn't suit. Say Goodbye, runner-up in the 2021 renewal, is probably the most talented mare in the race but returns from 478 days off and would prefer a sound surface. In-form Light Parade is rated just 94 but is suited by this distance and soft ground and has place claims while 118-rated Popova has winning form on yielding but was well held on her return from a mini-break at Bellewstown.

SPACE TOURIST lost her unbeaten record over hurdles at Galway but she was let down by her jumping upped in grade and this looks a good opportunity for her to resume winning ways. Say Goodbye looks the main threat but she does have an absence to overcome.

Despite a 16 month absence, a chance is taken that SAY GOODBYE will be forward enough to score, back over hurdles after two chase wins

14:50 Musselburgh Stakes (Class 5) 5f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (2.5/1 -43%) Canaria Queen	2.5 2.5/1(-43%)	(3) Canaria Queen 2.5/1, Showed some fair form in maidens but only ninth of 11 on her handicap debut at Carlisle (5.8f, good, 16/1) 17 days ago. Not ruled out if getting back on song. Well held on handicap debut but her close second on soft ground in July gives her a shout.
2	6 2nd (6) (0.3/1 +67%) Sacred Falls	0.3 0.3/1(+67%)	(6) Sacred Falls 0.3/1, Progessive sort who travelled strongly long way when second of 6 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Firmly in the picture back at the minimum trip. Close second in Class 5 handicap this month; drops from 6f here; should go well again.
3	5 3rd (5) (40/1 -122%) No Aw There	40 40/1(-122%)	(5) No Aw There 40/1, 33/1, sixth of 7 in minor event at Carlisle (5.8f, good to firm) on her debut 25 days ago. She needs to take a major step forward. Well beaten after racing too freely on last month's debut at Carlisle (6f).
4	4 4th (4) (20/1 -233%) Eternal Sunshine	20 20/1(-233%)	(4) Eternal Sunshine 20/1, Orientor filly. Sister to 3 winners, including 5f/6f winner Sound of Iona and 5f-7f winner Oriental Lilly and half-sister to 5f winner Eternalist. Appeals on paper but the betting can prove an accurate guide for this newcomer. Has speed in her pedigree but would be a rare winning newcomer for the stable.
5th	2 5th (2) (125/1 -56%) Holdemfoldem	125 125/1(-56%)	(2) Holdemfoldem 125/1, Twice-raced maiden. 250/1, seventh of 10 in maiden at Ayr (6f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Has lots to find on form. Well-beaten 250-1 shot on his first two appearances (8.3f/6f); can't be recommended.

LTO Selection:

SACRED FALLS has got better with every run and the absence of Alexi Boy has made her bid for a breakthrough success far easier. Katie Scott's filly came within a neck of making a winning start to her handicap career at Hamilton and sets the standard on the figures. Canaria Queen is officially rated only 1lb inferior but arrives on the back of a moderate Carlisle display. Money for Eternal Sunshine on debut would be interesting.

SACRED FALLS is the pick on form and gets the nod with this drop to 5f likely to suit. Canaria Queen has the form to have a say too if back on her A-game, while Eternal Sunshine is an interesting newcomer.

After the recent rain the suggestion is CANARIA QUEEN, who posted a good performance on soft ground two starts ago.

15:00 Doncaster Stakes (Class 5) 8f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	15 1st (15) (3.33/1 +45%) I Still Have Faith	3.33 3.33/1(+45%)	(15) I Still Have Faith 3.33/1, Strong-travelling sort who opened his account at Nottingham before following up at Newmarket later in July. Solid fourth of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (10f, good) 30 days ago. Player. Having a decent season, holding his form well; however, there are doubts about soft ground.
2	2 2nd (2) (20/1 -67%) Biplane	20 20/1(-67%)	(2) Biplane 20/1, Scored at Redcar in June but only seventh of 9 in handicap at Haydock (7f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Cheekpieces back on with more required. Redcar winner in June but disappointing since then on either side of a two-month break.
3	8 3rd (8) (12/1 -20%) Lion's Dream	12 12/1(-20%)	(8) Lion's Dream 12/1, Unreliable individual. 9/2, eighth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 15 days ago. Hood on 1st time and cheekpieces back on. In the mix if on his A-game. 0-9 since debut win; going nowhere fast in handicaps and has looked a hard ride.
4	3 4th (3) (11/1 +0%) Cliffs Of Capri	11 11/1(+0%)	(3) Cliffs Of Capri 11/1, Fairly useful gelding. Twenty two runs since last win in 2020. Ninth of 10 in handicap at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 62 days ago. Blinkers back on and not taken lightly if back on his A-game. Last British win was in 2018; goes on all ground but he's not had the best of seasons.
5th	11 5th (11) (4/1 +38%) Oh Herberts Reign	4 4/1(+38%)	(11) Oh Herberts Reign 4/1, C&D winner who comes here on the back of a good second of 9 in handicap (2/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 8 days ago, clear of rest. Holds good claims of ending his losing run. Three wins as a 2yo included a C&D soft-ground win; went close on the AW last week.
6th	10 6th (10) (66/1 -164%) Mykonos St John	66 66/1(-164%)	(10) Mykonos St John 66/1, It's now eighteen runs since his last win in 2022. Only eighth of 13 in handicap (50/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 11 days ago so others are much preferred. Did well in 2022 but he's looked cold as ice on the AW during a very quiet last 12 months.
7th	14 7th (14) (33/1 -106%) Frequent Flyer	33 33/1(-106%)	(14) Frequent Flyer 33/1, Fair at his best for Andrew Balding. Blinkered for 1st time when seventh of 9 in handicap at Sandown (8f, good to soft) 53 days ago. Needs a big step forward for his new yard. Twice runner-up for Andrew Balding but left that yard as a nine-race maiden.
8th	12 8th (12) (12/1 +14%) Soames Forsyte	12 12/1(+14%)	(12) Soames Forsyte 12/1, Fair maiden who wasn't disgraced when seventh of 13 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 11 days ago. Merits consideration at these weights. A repeat of his penultimate close third on soft at Beverley shouldn't see him far away.
9th	13 9th (13) (80/1 -220%) Comedian Leader	80 80/1(-220%)	(13) Comedian Leader 80/1, Already a four-time winner this year. Only ninth of 13 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 23 days ago but the sort to bounce back with tongue strap on for 1st time. AW wins on the AW; she's 0-8 on turf and has no soft-ground form to boast about.
10th	1 10th (1) (20/1 -100%) Always Fearless	20 20/1(-100%)	(1) Always Fearless 20/1, Fair gelding who landed 12-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 15 days ago. One for the shortlist. Won two of last three; lightly raced on soft but one of his best RPRs came on that surface.
11th	6 11th (6) (9/1 +10%) Devasboy	9 9/1(+10%)	(6) Devasboy 9/1, Seventeen runs since his last win in 2022 and only fifth of 7 in seller at Goodwood (11.2f, soft) 21 days ago. Back down in trip with work to do. 0-10 for this yard but has threatened on occasions and 1m on soft ground is fine.
12th	16 12th (16) (50/1 -127%) Vondelpark	50 50/1(-127%)	(16) Vondelpark 50/1, Resumed winning ways at Thirsk in July for Gemma Tutty but below par at Redcar and Ripon since. Needs to get back on track for his new stable. Below par of late but his ability to handle the forecast slow conditions ticks a big box.
13th	9 13th (9) (14/1 -100%) Mr Cuddihy	14 14/1(-100%)	(9) Mr Cuddihy 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 14/1, creditable second of 12 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good) 30 days ago. Needs considering. 2nd on recent handicap debut; soft ground would be a first but he's the dark horse.
14th	4 14th (4) (12/1 -71%) Culcor	12 12/1(-71%)	(4) Culcor 12/1, Fair gelding. 14/1, respectaable sixth of 10 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, soft) 21 days ago. One to consider. Winner in Ireland but has yet to offer a great deal in British handicaps.
15th	17 15th (17) (5/1 +72%) Dougies Dream	5 5/1(+72%)	(17) Dougies Dream 5/1, C&D winner in June but he came in last of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 33 days ago. Back down in trip and needs a couple of these to falter. RESERVE His C&D win in June was on good ground and those conditions are perhaps ideal.

LTO Selection:

Mr Cuddihy shaped with promise on his handicap debut last month and could be on the premises with scope for further improvement. Always Fearless could be berthed well next to the former in stall 16 and must enter the reckoning following his recent Wolverhampton success, but preference is for I STILL HAVE FAITH. The three-year-old has been steadily progressive in handicaps this term and looks to hold every chance at the weights today. Others to note include Oh Herberts Reign and Dandy Maestro.

Not nearly so competitive as the numbers suggest and I STILL HAVE FAITH, who arrives in good order from handicaps, looks the way to go in his bid for a third success of 2023. C&D winner Oh Herberts Reign seems sure to be in the mix along with in-form duo Soames Forsyte and Always Fearless.

As a C&D winner on soft ground and heading here on the back of a positive performance last week, OH HERBERTS REIGN appeals most.

7th	13 7th (13) (10/1 +55%) No Fussing	10 10/1(+55%)	(13) No Fussing 10/1, Winner in hurdle at Thurles in March. Bit below form fourth of 8 in novice hurdle at Tramore (20.5f, good, 17/2) 31 days ago. Unplaced in a novice event last time, fourth behind Rathnaleen Kal in a handicap at Cork.
8th	4 8th (4) (7/1 +7%) Rathnaleen Kal	7 7/1(+7%)	(4) Rathnaleen Kal 7/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this season. Career best when winning 18-runner handicap hurdle at Cork (18.7f, good to soft, 10/1) 41 days ago, staying on to lead near finish. Another holding possibilities stepping back up in trip. Consistent in recent months apart from a disappointing Cork run, made amends on latest.

Not in same form on handicap debut at Tipperary (2m) a month later but not one to be writing off now stepping back up in trip. Faded quite tamely after making the running to two out on her handicap debut at Tipperary.
16	16 \|PU\| (16) (10/1 -25%) Buttons And Bows	10 10/1(-25%)	(16) Buttons And Bows 10/1, Ninth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (19f, good to soft, 11/2) 23 days ago, shaping as if needing the run on the back of 9 weeks off. Expected to be much closer to form now. Four wins have been on decent ground, further rain could detract from her prospects.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (12/1 +33%) The Moon Sea's Me	12 12/1(+33%)	(1) The Moon Sea's Me 12/1, Thrice-raced winner over hurdles. 10/3, fifth of 6 in novice hurdle at Carlisle (19.3f, good to soft) in November. Makes handicap debut on the back of 9 months off and market best guide with yard also saddling Sea Aster. Point/maiden hurdle winner, well beaten on last two races in 2022, probably best watched.

LTO Selection:

ATIMETODREAM ran well on handicap debut in May and reappears following a mid-summer break. She bumped into Grade 1 winner Irish Point last November, is suited by soft and being an unexposed, well-bred five-year-old, should progress. Rathnaleen Kal was third in that Limerick race and subsequently boosted the form but meets the selection 6lb worse off. Debut bumper winner Stormalong ran well when failing to concede 8lb to the winner at Sligo last month and debuts in handicaps. She likes soft and should compete from 105. Progressive Good As Hell reverts to hurdles rated 25lb lower and won from a career-high rating on soft ground at Killarney. However she was beaten from 1lb lower on her last hurdles outing in May. Sea Aster steps up from winning a Tramore unplaced horses' maiden while keen-going course winner Call Her Now disappointed at Tipperary. No Fussing's yard is flying and she has soft ground form while Phils Choice is a 12-race maiden but has form. All Walks Of Life, which runs in a first-time hood, was pulled up with a slipped saddle in May.

Plenty in with a chance but GOOD AS HELL has been an improved model over fences this summer so, from her very attractive hurdles mark, she could be the answer with the distinct possibility of more to come in this sphere. Atimetodream, Sea Aster and Emily In Paris head up the dangers.

Twice successful over fences since third in a handicap hurdle at Wexford in May, GOOD AS HELL may take advantage of this mark

4	1 4th (1) (3.33/1 -33%) Tilsitt	3.33 3.33/1(-33%)	(1) Tilsitt 3.33/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 11/2, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, soft) 64 days ago. Player back down in class. Yet to win this season but made the frame in higher-grade company on last two starts.

6th	8 6th (8) (20/1 -43%) Cuban Rock	20 20/1(-43%)	(8) Cuban Rock 20/1, C&D winner. Winner here in July. Last of 6 in handicap (12/1) at Catterick (7f, soft) 5 days ago. Opened account over C&D when upped in trip in July but has gone off the boil lately.
7th	7 7th (7) (40/1 -344%) Burning The Bails	40 40/1(-344%)	(7) Burning The Bails 40/1, Ninth of 10 in handicap (7/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 9 days ago. Visored for 1st time. Claimed out of a seller in July; down the field in three handicaps for new stable.
8th	2 8th (2) (3.5/1 +0%) Venetian	3.5 3.5/1(+0%)	(2) Venetian 3.5/1, Good second at Haydock in June but hasn't been in the same form since, though not disgraced at Kempton (8f) 25 days ago. Drops in class and back on last winning mark. Hasn't fired lately but is a strong contender if judged on form shown in June.

LTO Selection:

TILSITT hasn't been disgraced in class 4 company of late and the six-year-old holds leading claims on the ease in grade. Tulekya is best forgiven her sixth-placed finish when ducking right at Doncaster in June and may have been freshened up by a 91-day break. The daughter of Wootton Bassett is feared most, ahead of Bulls Aye, who ran one of his better races this season when filling the frame at Carlisle last time out.

VENETIAN hasn't been at his best lately but he's back on his last winning mark so could be worth chancing down in class. Tilsitt is another who's back down in grade so rates the main threat ahead of habitual slow-starter Bulls Aye.

He needs to better his recent efforts but VENETIAN will be too good for these if able to recapture the form he showed in early June.

Frame claims if reproducing that. Front-running Irish filly; bright chance granted an uncontested lead and perfect fractions.
2	11 2nd (11) (3/1 +25%) Nigiri	3 3/1(+25%)	(11) Nigiri 3/1, Progressive filly who completed hat-trick in impressive fashion in big-field handicap at York's Ebor meeting. Smart prospect who now looks ready for this level. Fast-improving filly who looks a potential Group performer and comes here on a roll.
3	12 3rd (12) (16/1 -33%) Vetiver	16 16/1(-33%)	(12) Vetiver 16/1, Dual novice winner who didn't need to improve on her handicap debut effort to land a weak listed event at Carlisle (6.9f, soft) 81 days ago, scoring with a bit in hand in a first-time tongue strap. This demands more. Progressive; bagged Listed honours at Carlisle when last seen; 3-3 under P J McDonald.
4	1 4th (1) (2.75/1 -38%) Cachet	2.75 2.75/1(-38%)	(1) Cachet 2.75/1, Really likeable filly who made all in the 1000 Guineas and just failed to pull off the same tactics in the French equivalent. Not seen since finishing fifth in the Coronation at Royal Ascot the following month but clearly the one to beat back down in class if retaining her ability. Won 1,000 Guineas in 2022; great chance if she returns from layoff in top form or near it.
5th	4 5th (4) (12/1 +0%) Queen Aminatu	12 12/1(+0%)	(4) Queen Aminatu 12/1, Smart filly on AW but no so good on turf (yet to win on this surface). Others preferred. Best on AW; 0-7 on grass and has been out of the money in her two turf attempts this term.
6th	5 6th (5) (25/1 -14%) Samedi Rien	25 25/1(-14%)	(5) Samedi Rien 25/1, Useful filly from Spain. Creditable 2 lengths third of 11 to Believing in listed race at Pontefract (6f, good) 28 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. More needed at this level. Trained in Spain; placed in Listed grade at Pontefract last time; more is needed.
7th	8 7th (8) (50/1 -79%) Dandy Alys	50 50/1(-79%)	(8) Dandy Alys 50/1, Fairly useful filly on balance and didn't look an easy ride when third in listed race at Galway latest. Difficult ask unless first-time headgear sparks big improvement. In decent form recently and has possibilities if taking well to first-time headgear.
8th	9 8th (9) (6/1 +20%) Dream Of Love	6 6/1(+20%)	(9) Dream Of Love 6/1, Good third in the German 1000 Guineas at Dusseldorf and backed that up when a solid seventh of 29 under top weight in Sandringham Handicap at Royal Ascot. Creditable 2¾ lengths third behind Magical Sunset in Group 3 at Goodwood (7f, heavy) since and 3 lb better off with winner here. Creditable third to Magical Sunset at Goodwood despite not having the ideal track position.
9th	7 9th (7) (14/1 +13%) Clounmacon	14 14/1(+13%)	(7) Clounmacon 14/1, Responded well to this headgear when winning 10-runner listed race (8/1) at Naas (soft). Just respectable fourth in Group 3 there next time. Respectable form in cheekpieces the last twice; still unexposed in headgear.
10th	2 10th (2) (8/1 -14%) Magical Sunset	8 8/1(-14%)	(2) Magical Sunset 8/1, Likeable type who handles the mud very well, as shown when winning Group 3 at Goodwood last month. Penalised for that but further rain will be in her favour. Won the Oak Tree Stakes at Goodwood but drying ground would be a possible negative.

LTO Selection:

Last year's 1000 Guineas heroine CACHET makes her first start of the season and sets a very high standard with a rating of 113, which puts her 6lb clear of her nearest rival. The daughter of Aclaim should prove too good for these if she is ready to go on her return, before a possible tilt at the Sun Chariot. Magical Sunset surprised a few at Goodwood with her victory and should also go well again, while Nigiri is improving at a rate of knots and is well worth her place in the line-up.

Last year's 1000 Guineas winner CACHET will prove hard to beat if ready to go after 15 months off. Highly progressive 3-y-o Nigiri shouldn't be underestimated up in grade.

Cachet is respected despite her lengthy absence but a good alternative is VETIVER (nap). Dandy Alys is also shortlisted.

LTO Selection:

SILVER GAZETTE returned to form following a layoff, last month. Runner-up to subsequent Grade 2-winner Favori De Champdou in November 2022, he bumped into a capable winner on debut for Andy Slattery at Tramore, while the third-placed horse won next-time. He is suited by soft ground, this distance and his rider claims 5lb. Workforadime finished 12.5 lengths behind today's rival Misty's Gift in May and while Workforadime caught the eye at Wexford recently, might still struggle to beat the selection. Misty's Gift didn't take to fences at Ballinrobe last month and while a dual bumper winner, has failed in 13 previous maiden hurdles. Atacanter ran well at Leopardstown last March, stays well and has place claims on return. Signora De Milano reverts back up in distance while True Or False has some point-to-point/hunter chase form.

MISTY'S GIFT made an inauspicious start over fences when pulled up at Ballinrobe but is fancied to bounce back in style now quickly returned to this sphere and gain a deserved first success. Silver Gazette made an encouraging start for his new yard when runner-up at Tramore and is next on the list ahead of the lightly-raced pair Ollie La Ba Ba and Signora Di Milano.

Preference is for SILVER GAZETTE(nap who ran a cracker at Tramore on stable debut and should come on for that with trip not an issue

4	6 4th (6) (10/1 -43%) Water Of Leith	10 10/1(-43%)	(6) Water Of Leith 10/1, 14/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 10 days ago. Inconsistent but assessor has given him a chance.

LTO Selection:

PRINCESS KARINE has yet to run a bad race this year and she continued her good form when runner-up in a class 3 event over C&D. The four-year-old was kindly dropped 1lb for that display and she could prove hard to beat. Rock Melody is a previous C&D winner and will find this more to her liking than the competitive handicaps she has contested at York and Ascot the last twice. Ramon Di Loria can beat Water Of Leith home for third as he is now 1lb lower than his last winning mark.

The return to 5f is sure to suit ROCK MELODY and with this representing a big drop in class she looks the way to go. The minimum trip is also Khabib's optimum distance and he's a threat, along with Water of Leith.

Princess Karine might not face much competition up front but ROCK MELODY (nap) is taken to sweep past her in the closing stages.

Totally unexposed and well worth a shot at this level. 2-2 since gelded/hooded; better to come but slower ground asks a different question.
2	2 2nd (2) (1/1 +28%) Raasel	1 1/1(+28%)	(2) Raasel 1/1, Developed into a smart Group-3 winning sprinter in 2022. Struggled to scale same heights initially this year but has stood up well to a robust campaign and was just about better than ever when a cosy winner at Haydock last week. The one to beat on these terms. Fine effort in Haydock handicap last week (5f, good); fully effective on soft; big chance.
3	3 3rd (3) (4/1 -45%) Silky Wilkie	4 4/1(-45%)	(3) Silky Wilkie 4/1, Impressive winner of the Scottish Sprint Cup at Musselburgh (5f, soft) during the spring and largely creditable efforts since, not least when runner-up in a York listed race in July. Occupied same spot at that level a fortnight ago and he's sure to give it another good go. Developed into a smart sprinter in the last year; near miss in Listed event latest; solid.
4	1 4th (1) (12/1 +14%) Fine Wine	12 12/1(+14%)	(1) Fine Wine 12/1, Speedy front runner who hasn't added to his tally in 20023 but he's posted a trio of useful efforts in handicaps. Helped set a strong pace at Newcastle 17 days ago and smaller field will help him here, albeit he has a bit to find. A good servant to connections but below best last time and tough task at the weights.

LTO Selection:

ROGUE LIGHTNING struck in the Shergar Cup Dash at Ascot last time to show he is a sprinter going places, as he is unbeaten in two starts since his gelding operation in May. The son of Kodiac could continue his rise in the ranks to add a Listed win to his tally before going onto better things. The main danger is Raasel, who did it well at Haydock to score by just under a length and he is more than capable at this level. Silky Wilkie makes more appeal than Fine Wine in the battle for third.

RAASEL won at a higher level than this last season and following a low-key start to 2023 he was just about better than ever at Haydock last week. He's the one to beat on these terms, though the 3-y-o Rogue Lightning is on a steep upward curve and has to command respect.

Raasel won't be easy to beat but SILKY WILKIE looks a worthy opponent and may enjoy a tactical advantage.

Second of 8 in novice chase at Killarney (17f, good to soft, 2/1) on debut over fences 22 days ago. Open to improvement. No match for 137-rated hurdler Captain Conby on chase debut at Killarney. should go well.

Career best when winning 11-runner novice chase at Wexford (19.8f, heavy, 6/1) on debut over fences 37 days ago. Should improve. Won well on chasing debut, all three wins have been over 2m4f so trip could be an issue.
3	3 \|F\| (3) (7/1 -17%) The Dasher Conway	7 7/1(-17%)	(3) The Dasher Conway 7/1, Fairly useful chaser. 1 win from 3 runs this season. Latest win in chase at Tramore in June. 9/2, good second of 8 in handicap chase at Kilbeggan (19f, good to soft) 36 days ago. Has begun to mature into an effective handicap chaser, more exposed than the other four.

LTO Selection:

A case can be made for all five participants. RIAAN impressed on his debut over fences at Wexford and might be able to follow-up now. While that Bettyville contest probably wasn't a strong affair, the Diamond Boy six-year-old couldn't have done much more, with his rider Jack Kennedy later saying: "He jumped brilliant and I couldn't have asked for better of him really. He is going to come on for it fitness wise and I'm delighted with him." While not the most consistent, Uncle Phil is given second preference. He impressively dismissed Winter Fog on his penultimate start and a reproduction of that performance would see him hard to beat. Gracchus De Balme is sure to have plenty of supporters after winning at Roscommon last month, while The Dasher Conway and Great Bear complete the line-up, with both warranting respect.

GREAT BEAR looked a natural when runner-up on his chase bow at Killarney and can go one better in receipt of weight. Riaan made an impressive winning start over fences at Wexford and is the obvious threat in a race in which none of the 5 can be ruled out.

Only five runners but none of them could be ruled out. Having jumped reassuringly well at Roscommon GRACCHUS DE BALME may follow up

1	1 1st (1) (2.25/1 +18%) Spanish Hustle	2.25 2.25/1(+18%)	(1) Spanish Hustle 2.25/1, 3 wins from 7 runs this year. Latest win at Hamilton in August. 17/2, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Carlisle (11.2f, good) 16 days ago. Arrives in top form and boasts Third win of 2023 at Hamilton in August; good Carlisle fourth latest so can go well again.
2	4 2nd (4) (3/1 -50%) Blue Antares	3 3/1(-50%)	(4) Blue Antares 3/1, Winner at Ripon in August. 2/1, creditable second of 7 in handicap at Ripon (12f, good to firm) 12 days ago, slowly away. One to take seriously. In excellent form, runner-up 12 days ago; firmly in the picture despite a 2lb rise.
3	2 3rd (2) (5.5/1 +31%) Graces Quest	5.5 5.5/1(+31%)	(2) Graces Quest 5.5/1, C&D winner. 18/5, sixth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 19 days ago. Had been in good order prior to that, so can't be fully dismissed. C&D scorer; only sixth over C&D 19 days ago but sort to bounce back so needs considering.
4	3 4th (3) (8.5/1 -21%) Golden Valour	8.5 8.5/1(-21%)	(3) Golden Valour 8.5/1, Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap (13/2) at this C&D (good to firm) 19 days ago, running on. Gives his running more often than not but he's a tricky customer who is hard to win with. Temperamental type but he arrives in decent nick; now 29 runs without a victory, however.
5th	5 5th (5) (2.5/1 +0%) Smart Lass	2.5 2.5/1(+0%)	(5) Smart Lass 2.5/1, 4-time C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. 3/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Ayr (13.1f, good to firm) 31 days ago, going off too hard. Likely to be back on her game under professional rider, and should take a hand. 4-time C&D scorer but did too much up front at Ayr latest; merits serious consideration.

LTO Selection:

BLUE ANTARES only failed by half a length at Ripon last time and he is in great heart at present, as he has hit the frame on each of his last three outings. The son of Frankel can continue his fine form to take this and the main threat could be Spanish Hustle, who put in a pleasing display to finish fourth at Carlisle over 1m3f and he ought to go close off the same rating. Smart Lass couldn't justify favouritism last time, but she could easily bounce back and warrants respect.

BLUE ANTARES is going through a good spell and might be able to eke out a bit more improvement to resume winning ways at the likely expense of Spanish Hustle, who wasn't ideally suited by the way things panned out at Carlisle recently. Smart Lass is another one to consider.

The vote goes to course specialist SMART LASS who wasn't seen to best effect at Ayr last time and can capitalise on a reduced mark.

Can win a nursery but perhaps at a lower level; taken out of a soft-ground date last month.

Makes handicap debut. Should progress again back at 1m. Positives to take from all his runs, especially the latest over 7f when finishing strongly.
5th	5 5th (5) (10/1 -11%) Doddie's Impact	10 10/1(-11%)	(5) Doddie's Impact 10/1, Made winning start in 16-runner Brocklesby here in April but not been in same form for new yard since and has something to prove at present upped to 1m. Has not lived up to his Brocklesby win here; reservations about him stepping up to 1m.
6th	1 6th (1) (3/1 -33%) State Of Desire	3 3/1(-33%)	(1) State Of Desire 3/1, Looks one of his yard's lesser lights on early evidence, failing to quicken when fifth at Sandown last month. Gelded since and may be seen in a better light now handicapping. Disappointing given his pedigree but has ability and gelded ahead of nursery debut.

LTO Selection:

Frankel gelding State Of Desire ought to prove better than an opening mark of 78, but, though respected, a chance is taken on MONSIEUR MELEE. Jedd O'Keefee's charge did well to finish third at Musselburgh having been slowly away in leaving the stalls, before losing a shoe in the run. Back over a mile and on nursery debut, it would be no surprise to see him improve. Brocklesby winner Doddie's Impact has yet to add to that success, but the return here and a falling mark should aid his cause.

CHARMING WHISPER has laid an excellent foundation for nurseries, and given his dam stayed well, 1m should be well within range. He's awarded the vote in a tightly-knit nursery, with Monsieur Melee and Swift Salian feared most.

A chance is taken that STATE OF DESIRE can take a step forward on his nursery debut having been gelded. Monsieur Melee is next best.

1	3 1st (3) (1.88/1 +46%) Visionarian		1.88 1.88/1(+46%)																															(3) Visionarian 1.88/1, Smart chaser. Five wins from 18 NH runs. Didn't need to improve to win 4-runner minor event chase at Ballinrobe (17f, good to soft, 10/11) 20 days ago, readily. Looks in top form at present. Fifth in Galway Plate before Ballinrobe win, would get 9lb from Saint Sam in a handicap.
2	2 \|F\| (2) (0.4/1 +40%) Saint Sam		0.4 0.4/1(+40%)																															(2) Saint Sam 0.4/1, Very smart chaser. 4/7, career best when winning 5-runner minor event chase at Galway (22.5f, soft) 42 days ago, travelling strongly. Thriving and likely to go in again. Bidding for a four-timer, rider's choice over Easy Game who won this race in 2021 and 2022.

LTO Selection:

An interesting contest, with EASY GAME marginally preferred over Saint Sam and Visionarian. The selection has an excellent record at Listowel and is bidding to win this race for the third year in-a-row. A superb servant to connections, it's difficult to oppose the 17-time winner, despite the fact that Paul Townend has. To be fair, the champion jockey had a difficult task choosing between the Willie Mullins-trained pair, with just 1lb between them on ratings. While flawless in three starts over the summer months, Saint Sam faces a tougher assignment now. A solid fifth in the Galway Plate, Visionarian since impressed at Ballinrobe and getting weight from the aforementioned duo, it'll come as no surprise if he manages to take this. Dancing On My Own completes the line-up and while a smart performer, he was beaten by Easy Game when they clashed here in June.

Willie Mullins has a strong grip on this event and SAINT SAM is an obvious choice to complete a four-timer at the likely expense of his stablemate Easy Game, who should be able to put a blip at the Galway Festival behind him. Visionarian is also a player.

This can go to the exuberant SAINT SAM who galloped his rivals into the ground at Killarney and more especially over 2m6f at Galway

Not in top form at present. Made a winning start for current yard at Ripon in June but her form has dipped recently.
4	2 4th (2) (3/1 +40%) Coltor	3 3/1(+40%)	(2) Coltor 3/1, Third of 4 in handicap at Beverley (16.2f, good to soft, 11/8) 61 days ago, finishing tired. Likely to face competition for the lead again. Not disgraced when third in Beverley handicap in July; he's one to consider after a break.

Respectable on last Flat outing. Has a bit to prove. Fair 1m4f winner in 2021 for Charlie Fellowes but has offered little for his current yard.

LTO Selection:

It's Good To Laugh was beaten less than a length at Chester last time out and he can go well off the same mark, but YORKINDNESS might have his measure on this occasion. The four-year-old strolled home when making all at York to win by eight lengths last Sunday and a 5lb penalty may not stop him following up under Joe Fanning. Coltor looks best of the rest in this small field and could pick up some prize money.

IT'S GOOD TO LAUGH has been runner-up the last twice and, with a couple of front-runners liable to take each other on, he might find this panning out ideally, so he's preferred to last-time-out winners Baez and Yorkindness.

Jim Goldie's filly BAEZ is thriving and the one to beat under a 5lb penalty for her Chester win two days ago.

8th	9 8th (9) (4.5/1 -13%) J R Cavagin	4.5 4.5/1(-13%)	(9) J R Cavagin 4.5/1, Won here around this time off a higher mark last year and has been back in form lately, finding only one too good at Beverley 3 weeks ago.

Definite claims from a handicapping perspective but hard to know if he'll be in the same form. Signs of a revival last time and he's well treated if building on it; conditions no issue.

LTO Selection:

J R CAVAGIN returned to form with a creditable second at Beverley three weeks ago. Paul Midgley's sprinter lifted this prize from a 5lb higher mark 12 months ago, and he appears to be nearing boiling point in a bid to repeat the dose. The Dunkirk Lads was narrowly denied at Carlisle last time and a similar performance ought to see him on the premises. Others to note include Bella Kopella and Slingsbytoo.

J R CAVAGIN is back in form and, having won over C&D around the same time last year, he's worth taking a chance on. Thornaby Pearl shaped well last time and is considered a threat, while Bella Kopella is likely to give her running again.

Catch Cunningham is a danger to all down in class but THORNABY PEARL can benefit from today's return to slower ground.

LTO Selection:

NEVER PRESENT gets the nod over Glowing Account. The John McConnell-trained selection was still in front when coming down two out on debut at Grennan in May. Since sold to current connections for 30,000 pounds, he should give a good account of himself here with Alex Harvey aboard. At the age of six, Glowing Account belatedly makes his debut and won't have to be a star to take this contest which lacks strength and depth. Typhoon Flyer is a half-brother to 2021 King George winner Tornado Flyer. Still very much in contention when falling two out on his penultimate start at Ballinaboola, it'll be interesting to see how he fares on his racecourse debut. A runner-up at Roscommon over a year ago, Locorotondo warrants respect with Derek O'Connor aboard, while Answering and Huntsgrove are others for the shortlist.

GLOWING ACCOUNT has the speed to be well equipped for this sort of test and his top yard should have him well readied for his debut, so he take preference over Never Present, who showed ability prior to falling in a point. Locorotondo is the pick of the others but he has a long absence to overcome.

The opposition to the Willie Mullins-trained newcomer GLOWING ACCOUNT looks far from intimidating.

Should give another good account with the visor replacing cheekpieces. Fair fourth 18 days ago; visor replaces cheekpieces; one to consider.

LTO Selection:

Spartakos won this race in 2021 for trainer Katie Scott and the five-year-old is back for more off 3lb higher after a fifth-placed finish at Catterick last month. He could go well, but if INDIAN OUTLAW takes to first-time blinkers, then she would have every chance judged on her better form. Kalama Sunrise could surprise a few and is bred for this trip, despite racing over further without success on her first three starts.

Plenty of these hold few secrets and it could just pay to take a chance on a handicap debutante in the shape of KALAMA SUNRISE. Ultimately well beaten all 3 starts in novice company, she should find this sort of assignment much more suitable from a low opening mark and it would come as no surprise to see her do better. Spartakos and Doomsday head the dangers, with Turbo Command another not out of things.

Lightly raced AMERRONE showed some promise as a juvenile and could take advantage of a basement mark now he's going handicapping.
