13:40 Redcar Handicap (Class 5) 8f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (5/2 -67%) Captain Corelli	2.5 5/2(-67%)	(4) Captain Corelli 5/2, In excellent heart at present, following up his Beverley success in 9-runner handicap at Thirsk (8f, good to firm) 18 days ago, suited by way race developed. Has to be respected in his hat-trick bid. Back in good form and still on a winning mark despite recent wins at about 1m; respected.
2	5 2nd (5) (17/2 -89%) Kodebreaker	8.5 17/2(-89%)	(5) Kodebreaker 17/2, Course winner. Latest win at Doncaster in July. Not disgraced when third of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good, 8/1) 29 days ago. Merits consideration. Won two most recent 1m starts; on highish mark but should be suited by return to this trip.
3	1 3rd (1) (9/1 +10%) Retraction	9 9/1(+10%)	(1) Retraction 9/1, Fair maiden who was well below form at Southwell (8.1f) 14 days ago. Eased further in the weights but has something to prove nonetheless. Hinted at a revival on sole turf run for this yard (1m); of interest off sliding mark.
4	3 4th (3) (15/8 +69%) Jumeira Vision	1.875 15/8(+69%)	(3) Jumeira Vision 15/8, Completed a hat-trick at Hamilton in July and has largely remained in form since. Player back down in trip. Earlier hat-trick includes C&D win; treading water since; excuse latest; needs revival.
5th	6 5th (6) (33/1 +0%) Paddy Mayne	33 33/1(+0%)	(6) Paddy Mayne 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden who failed to improve switched to a handicap when tenth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 80/1) 7 days ago. Makes turf debut and needs a big step forward. Signs of ability on AW debut at 1m but little since, including on handicap debut latest.
6th	2 6th (2) (4/1 -45%) Copper And Five	4 4/1(-45%)	(2) Copper And Five 4/1, C&D winner in May who ran creditably when 3 lengths fourth of 9 to Captain Corelli in handicap at Thirsk (8f, good to firm) 18 days ago, not given at all a hard time. Not ruled out. Two of last 3 wins have come over C&D; on winning mark again and encouraging 4th latest.
7th	7 7th (7) (14/1 +0%) Tacitus	14 14/1(+0%)	(7) Tacitus 14/1, C&D winner who ran poorly back on all-weather after 11 weeks off when tenth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 10 days ago. Sole win over C&D last summer; capable of going well but not in peak form on last 2 starts.

Kodebreaker shaped as if this return to a mile will suit when finishing a staying-on third over 7f at Yarmouth last month and, eased 1lb, the son of Kodi Bear must be respected. That said, preference is for the hat-trick seeking CAPTAIN CORELLI. Julie Camacho's charge was last seen scoring with the minimum of fuss over a mile at Thirsk and the suspicion is that he may have gotten off lightly with just a 3lb rise. Tacitus is capable of hitting the frame in a race like this if on a going day.

CAPTAIN CORELLI arrives in excellent heart and is fancied to complete the hat-trick. Copper And Five wasn't knocked about when finishing behind the selection last time and is feared most ahead of Jumeira Vision.

There isn't much between CAPTAIN CORELLI and Copper And Five on a recent Thirsk run and they could dominate this finish.

13:55 Punchestown Maiden 7f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (10/3 +5%) Amangani	3.333333 10/3(+5%)	(1) Amangani 10/3, 7/2, encouraging third of 14 in maiden at Gowran (7f, good to soft) on debut 14 days ago. Stable in good form. Likely to be on the premises. Third on racecourse bow (behind Mint Candy), open to improvement, leading claims.
2	5 2nd (5) (15/2 +25%) Joyful Princess	7.5 15/2(+25%)	(5) Joyful Princess 15/2, Once-raced filly. Fifth of 10 in minor event (22/1) at the Curragh (7f, good to firm) on debut 38 days ago. Should progress. Fifth in strong Curragh maiden on debut, should improve for that and holds leading claims.
3	3 3rd (3) (20/1 -300%) Beyond Dreams	20 20/1(-300%)	(3) Beyond Dreams 20/1, Foaled May 3. Wootton Bassett filly. Half-sister to several winners, including very smart Australian 5.5f-7f winner Zoustar and smart winner up to 1¾m Emperor of The Sun. Considered newcomer. Wootton Bassett half-sister to Zoustar, makes plenty of appeal on paper, check the market.
4	7 4th (7) (8/11 +42%) Mint Candy	0.727273 8/11(+42%)	(7) Mint Candy 8/11, Promising Dubawi colt who came in second of 14 in maiden at Gowran (7f, good to soft, 11/8) 14 days ago. Yard in good form. Sure to go well. Beaten a nose last time with Amangani 1.75l behind, Moore up first time, thereabouts again.
5th	4 5th (4) (11/2 +27%) Its All Peachy	5.5 11/2(+27%)	(4) Its All Peachy 11/2, Once-raced filly. 25/1, sixth of 11 in maiden at Leopardstown (7.1f, good) on debut 26 days ago, slowly away. Should have more to offer. 25-1 for debut at Leopardstown when green but promising, could go well with Keane up.
6th	10 6th (10) (20/1 +0%) Perfect Base	20 20/1(+0%)	(10) Perfect Base 20/1, Foaled January 25. €60,000 foal, €55,000 2-y-o, Acclamation filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful 2-y-o 6f winner Broken Stones and ungenuine winner up to 1¼m Piecederesistance. Acclamation filly related to 2yo winners, in-form yard can ready one, check the market.
7th	9 7th (9) (40/1 -150%) New Wave	40 40/1(-150%)	(9) New Wave 40/1, Once-raced filly. Tongue strap on, seventh of 10 in minor event (66/1) at the Curragh (7f, good to firm) on debut 38 days ago. Needs to build on it. Promise on debut behind Joyful Princess, should improve for the run, each way claims.
8th	12 8th (12) (80/1 -700%) School Of Athens	80 80/1(-700%)	(12) School Of Athens 80/1, Once-raced filly. Sixth of 13 in maiden (28/1) at Tipperary (7.5f, good) on debut 16 days ago. Can build on it so she's one to consider. Promise in a barrier trial and when keen on her racecourse debut; place chance if settles.
9th	6 9th (6) (150/1 +0%) Kilgharrahs Love	150 150/1(+0%)	(6) Kilgharrahs Love 150/1, Once-raced filly. Eighth of 16 in maiden (125/1) at Gowran (7f, good) on debut 34 days ago. Not a bad effort on debut at 125-1, needs more to trouble the judge in this company.
10th	11 10th (11) (250/1 -150%) Princess Peggy	250 250/1(-150%)	(11) Princess Peggy 250/1, Twice-raced filly. Thirteenth of 14 in maiden (150/1) at Gowran (7f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Triple figure odds and well-beaten on both starts to date; others preferred.
11th	8 11th (8) (80/1 -142%) Murray's Castle	80 80/1(-142%)	(8) Murray's Castle 80/1, Foaled April 13. €15,000 yearling, The Irish Rover filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart Italian/US 9f-11f winner Sopran Basilea and French winner up to 6.5f Power Best. Irish Rover filly related to winners but is probably best watched on her debut.
12th	2 12th (2) (250/1 -67%) Annie M	250 250/1(-67%)	(2) Annie M 250/1, Twice-raced filly. 150/1, last of 14 in maiden at Gowran (7f, good to soft) 14 days ago, very slowly away. Huge odds and out the back both starts to date, should get a mark after this.
13th	13 13th (13) (125/1 -400%) Sweet Zaroline	125 125/1(-400%)	(13) Sweet Zaroline 125/1, Once-raced filly. Tongue strap on, tenth of 14 in maiden (12/1) at Gowran (7f, good to soft) on debut 14 days ago, slowly away. Yard in good form. Likely to improve. Well beaten by Mint Candy and Amangani on debut at Gowran; needs to improve.

JOYFUL PRINCESS was well enough held on debut at the Curragh but that form is working out well and she should improve from the experience. Out of a Coolmore-bred unplaced dam, whose sister won at Listed level, she missed the break and raced keenly in the early stages. While beaten eight lengths into fifth, the daughter of Starspangledbanner finished reasonably well with the runner-up, the fourth and eighth-placed finishers each winning subsequently. Mint Candy finished a length-and-three-parts ahead of Amangani on their Gowran meeting a fortnight ago and the pair are likely to be closely matched, as the latter was a little short of room on the inner for some of the home straight.

A fair bit of potential on show here, not least Aidan O'Brien's impeccably-bred colt MINT CANDY who is taken to build on his promising Gowran second and get off the mark. Amangani could emerge as the chief threat on the back of her debut Gowran second, although Joyful Princess, It's All Peachy and School of Athens need factoring in too.

Preference is for JOYFUL PRINCESS. The form of her Curragh maiden fifth is strong and she looks open to plenty of improvement.

14:10 Redcar Stakes (Class 5) 5f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (7/2 +30%) Aubergine	3.5 7/2(+30%)	(7) Aubergine 7/2, Foaled February 1. 45,000 gns yearling, Mehmas filly. Dam, 5f/6f winner (including at 2 yrs) in Italy, half-sister to smart winner up to 6f Thunderbear. Newcomer to note. 45,000gns yearling; by Mehmas; sole newcomer in the field; check the betting.
2	2 2nd (2) (5/2 +50%) Lord Roxby	2.5 5/2(+50%)	(2) Lord Roxby 5/2, Much improved from debut when winning 11-runner maiden (4/1) at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 34 days ago. Open to further progress. Tougher task under a penalty for Beverley win but is open to further improvement.
3	8 3rd (8) (11/1 -214%) Rift Valley	11 11/1(-214%)	(8) Rift Valley 11/1, Left debut form well behind when third of 9 in a 6f novice at Chelmsford City 17 days ago. May do better still. Close third on AW last time; sole runner on the card for her in-form yard; respected.
4	1 4th (1) (5/4 +29%) Do It Now	1.25 5/4(+29%)	(1) Do It Now 5/4, Showed improved form to get off the mark at Ripon in May before an excellent fifth in the Super Sprint at Newbury. Well held on nursery debut at Goodwood but shaped as if back in form until the company found him out in York listed event last time. Obvious player back in calmer waters. Leading player on best form, namely Ripon win and good fifth in the Super Sprint.
5th	9 5th (9) (18/1 -13%) Coul Harswell	18 18/1(-13%)	(9) Coul Harswell 18/1, Shaped as if in need of the experience when fifth of 9 in maiden at Catterick (5f, good, 33/1) on debut 20 days ago, nearest finish. Open to improvement. Form of Catterick effort gives her a lot to find in this competitive race.
6th	6 6th (6) (150/1 -50%) Cuban Lynx	150 150/1(-50%)	(6) Cuban Lynx 150/1, Well held in novice event/maiden. Always behind in both outings; has the worst chance on form.

This looks a good opportunity for the class-dropping DO IT NOW to regain the winning thread. The son of Bungle Inthejungle has been highly tried since finishing fifth in the Super Sprint over 5f at Newbury in July and, after showing up well for a long way before being outpointed in the closing stages in a Listed race at York, he looks the one to side with at this level. This step down to 5f promises to suit Rift Valley and she must enter calculations, while Aubergine is an interesting newcomer.

DO IT NOW drops markedly in class and makes plenty of appeal in what has become a pretty thin novice. Lord Roxby is the obvious danger on the back of his Beverley success.

It may pay to concentrate on RIFT VALLEY who looks interesting dropped to 5f, ahead of Do It Now.

14:20 Brighton Handicap (Class 6) 6f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (33/1 -136%) Marching Mac	33 33/1(-136%)	(4) Marching Mac 33/1, 40/1 and hooded first time, tenth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (6f) 22 days ago. Respectable third on his previous visit here. Started off for new stable with two disappointing AW runs last month; revival needed.
2	5 2nd (5) (7/1 +30%) Thunderous Love	7 7/1(+30%)	(5) Thunderous Love 7/1, Winner at Salisbury in May. Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to soft) on Friday. Cheekpieces on first time. Denied clear run when fifth at Salisbury on Friday; cheekpieces added today.
3	7 3rd (7) (7/1 -17%) Muy Muy Guapo	7 7/1(-17%)	(7) Muy Muy Guapo 7/1, 17/2 and hooded first time, fourth of 5 in handicap at this course (7f, soft) 8 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Cheekpieces back on. Not beaten far over 7f here last week but is 0-24 now.
4	1 4th (1) (10/1 -122%) Lochaber	10 10/1(-122%)	(1) Lochaber 10/1, Winner at Beverley (5f) in May. Second at Chepstow for new yard in August but below par at Southwell since. Not one to rely upon but has good claims if judged on last month's Chepstow second.
5th	6 5th (6) (5/1 +23%) You Are Everything	5 5/1(+23%)	(6) You Are Everything 5/1, Modest maiden who failed to come on for his reappearance when fifth of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 13 days ago. Ran okay last month, after a layoff, but safely held since; others preferred.
6th	2 6th (2) (5/4 +55%) Realised	1.25 5/4(+55%)	(2) Realised 5/4, Modest maiden who was a creditable third over 7f/1m at Yarmouth in blinkers at the start of the summer. Should be thereabouts if returning from a break in similar form. Aided by blinkers when third on last two outings (1m/7f); first run in a sprint today.
7th	8 7th (8) (40/1 -21%) Miss Rainstorm	40 40/1(-21%)	(8) Miss Rainstorm 40/1, 66/1, tenth of 13 in handicap at Pontefract (1m, good) 78 days ago. Down in trip. First run for yard after leaving Tracy Waggott. Something to find on form. Signed off for Tracy Waggott with heavy defeat in July; has lots to prove on stable debut.
8th	9 8th (9) (50/1 -52%) Another Jack	50 50/1(-52%)	(9) Another Jack 50/1, Poor maiden. 28/1, fifth of 6 in handicap at this course (5.3f, good) 16 days ago. 13-race maiden who needs to find some improvement from somewhere.
9th	3 9th (3) (8/1 -220%) Bear To Dream	8 8/1(-220%)	(3) Bear To Dream 8/1, C&D winner in August. Not in the same form when fourth of 5 back here since but he's still fairly handicapped if bouncing back to the winning form. C&D winner last month, after a break; held since but remains on a workable mark.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

Realised has made the frame on each of her last two starts in this grade and she should remain competitive off an unchanged rating. However, the vote goes to LOCHABER, who flopped when finishing ninth at Southwell on his latest outing, but he filled the runner-up spot at Chepstow prior to that effort. Scott Dixon's three-year-old returns to turf and could go close off a 1lb lower rating. Of the remainder, Bear To Dream makes the most appeal.

BEAR TO DREAM could be the way to go if she can bounce back to anything like the form of last month's C&D win. Realised could pose a threat if fully primed after a break, while Muy Muy Guapo is also handicapped to get involved.

Unlucky not to finish a bit closer to the target at Salisbury on Friday, THUNDEROUS LOVE might win this in first-time cheekpieces.

14:25 Punchestown Maiden 8f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	3 1st (3) (11/10 +27%) Genealogy	1.1 11/10(+27%)	(3) Genealogy 11/10, Promising Wootton Bassett colt. Second of 12 in maiden at the Curragh (8f, good, 13/2) on debut 17 days ago, nearest finish. Sure to build on it so he's a player. Runner-up to a better fancied stablemate on debut; improved since and is a major player.
2	10 2nd (10) (1/1 +38%) Storm Piece	1 1/1(+38%)	(10) Storm Piece 1/1, Promising sort. 11/4, second of 15 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, good) on debut 24 days ago. Trainer going well so this Night of Thunder colt must enter calculations. Second in a Curragh maiden over 7f; this trip should be fine and can be a major player.
3	9 3rd (9) (10/1 -67%) Starry Desert	10 10/1(-67%)	(9) Starry Desert 10/1, Thrice-raced colt, good second of 6 in maiden at Galway (8.3f, soft) 45 days ago. May do better still son he's in the picture. Just ahead of a subsequent smart winner when second at Galway last time; a major player.
4	5 4th (5) (40/1 -21%) Land Of The Giants	40 40/1(-21%)	(5) Land Of The Giants 40/1, Foaled May 13. €12,000 foal, 16,000 gns yearling, €30,000 2-y-o, Calyx colt. Half-brother to 1m-11f winner Silky Warrior and 1¼m-1½m winner Spartan Warrior. Made 30,000euros at a breeze-up sale; by a useful sire and could run well.

Half-brother to several winners, including smart 1½m-1¾m winner Shamida and useful 12.5f winner Shajak. Dam 1½m winner. Interesting newcomer. By a leading sire and will appreciate this trip; yard second-string but can run well.
6th	2 6th (2) (80/1 -60%) Expert Analysis	80 80/1(-60%)	(2) Expert Analysis 80/1, Twice-raced colt. Seventh of 12 in maiden (200/1) at the Curragh (8f, good) 17 days ago. Better effort last time; can run respectably but likely to be better suited to handicaps.
7th	14 7th (14) (80/1 -142%) Whywhywhy Delilah	80 80/1(-142%)	(14) Whywhywhy Delilah 80/1, Twice-raced filly. 11/1, seventh of 13 in maiden at Tipperary (7.5f, good) 16 days ago. Needs another step forward. Beaten approx 6l on both starts and will have to find significant improvement today.
8th	15 8th (15) (150/1 -50%) Pallatine Hills	150 150/1(-50%)	(15) Pallatine Hills 150/1, Once-raced colt. Last of 13 in maiden at Tipperary (7.5f, good, 50/1) on debut 16 days ago. RESERVE Beaten 10l on Tipperary debut and will have to improve loads on that; reserve.

10th	8 10th (8) (80/1 -142%) Mocking	80 80/1(-142%)	(8) Mocking 80/1, Once-raced colt. 40/1, eleventh of 12 in maiden at the Curragh (8f, good) on debut 17 days ago, missing break. Beaten 11l on recent debut at the Curragh and will have to improve a fair bit on that.
11th	7 11th (7) (250/1 -67%) Micasso	250 250/1(-67%)	(7) Micasso 250/1, Once-raced gelding. Fourteenth of 15 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, good, 150/1) on debut 24 days ago. Beaten 22l on Curragh debut last month and can't be fancied on that form.
12th	1 12th (1) (66/1 -100%) Desmond Castle	66 66/1(-100%)	(1) Desmond Castle 66/1, Thrice-raced colt, fourth of 10 in maiden at Galway (8.4f, good, 66/1) 7 days ago. Stable in good form but needs another step forward. More encouraging at Galway last week behind a smart rival but still beaten 13l.

STORM PIECE has an excellent pedigree and showed good ability on debut. By the sire of Economics and out of a blue-blooded Group 1-winning dam, he contested a newcomers' maiden at the Curragh and while the form is largely unproven, the Ballydoyle-trained winner was well-touted while the eighth-horse subsequently finished runner-up. The selection looks smart and has a notable Beresford Stakes entry. Genealogy himself showed promise on Curragh debut 17 days ago and is entitled to improve plenty from that display, while his stablemate Lord Byron is from a fine Aga Khan family and is a half-brother to a multiple Group 3 winner.

Aidan O'Brien's GENEALOGY shaped well on his debut when a running-on second at the Curragh and with a fair bit of progress on the cards he makes most appeal. Ger Lyons' Storm Piece also has better days ahead of him and is next best, although well-bred Camelot newcomer Lord Byron and Galway second Starry Desert can't be discounted either in this intriguing maiden.

Runner-up to a better-fancied stablemate on debut over this trip at the Curragh, GENEALOGY(nap) can go one better today.

14:35 Yarmouth Handicap (Class 5) 7f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (5/1 +44%) Naina	5 5/1(+44%)	(1) Naina 5/1, Won maiden at Brighton and 7f Newmarket seller this summer. Sixth of 8 in nursery at Newmarket (7f, good to firm, 16/1) 31 days ago. Down in class but needs to improve. Found it too much on her nursery debut; back in calmer waters but will need a deal more.
2	3 2nd (3) (5/1 -25%) Tiete	5 5/1(-25%)	(3) Tiete 5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Very good second of 9 in nursery (11/2) at Newbury (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago, still looking a bit rough around the edges. Winner there looks promising and she can go well nudged up just 1 lb. Unlucky not to go closer still on her nursery debut recently; holds leading claims.
3	2 3rd (2) (11/2 +39%) Castro Aurum	5.5 11/2(+39%)	(2) Castro Aurum 11/2, Thrice-raced maiden. 11/1, fifth of 13 in novice at this C&D (good) 23 days ago. Makes handicap debut and could do better. Related to a few good winners; trainer been going well of late; watch the market.
4	7 4th (7) (10/1 -43%) Creative Lady	10 10/1(-43%)	(7) Creative Lady 10/1, 5/1, won 12-runner maiden at Lingfield (7f, AW) 21 days ago, value for a bit extra given she was forced quite a bit wider than the runner-up on the final bend. One to consider now going handicapping. Has run to a similar level in three starts to date; will need to improve now handicapping.
5th	8 5th (8) (12/1 +25%) Glitter Code	12 12/1(+25%)	(8) Glitter Code 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fifteenth of 16 in class 2 nursery at Goodwood (7f, good to firm, 40/1) 47 days ago. Gelded since. Well beaten on his nursery debut early last month; has since been gelded; outsider.
6th	6 6th (6) (8/1 +20%) Dapper Guest	8 8/1(+20%)	(6) Dapper Guest 8/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 50/1, fourth of 10 in novice at Newmarket (6f, good) 46 days ago. Makes handicap debut down in class and he could do better. Some promise in three 6f runs at big prices; trainer 0-57 with 2yos in recent times though.
7th	5 7th (5) (14/1 -300%) Liberty Bird	14 14/1(-300%)	(5) Liberty Bird 14/1, Well-backed 5/1, career best when winning 9-runner nursery at Southwell (7.1f) 13 days ago, making all under this rider. Up 6 lb but good chance again if allowed to dominate. Broke the 2yo course record when making all at Southwell latest; 6lb rise demands more.

Makes handicap debut with improvement needed. Best effort over C&D; first-time blinkers will need to bring out a deal of improvement.

10th	4 10th (4) (3/1 +0%) Brastias	3 3/1(+0%)	(4) Brastias 3/1, Built on debut promise at the second attempt when winning 11-runner maiden at Redcar in July. Very good fourth of 9 in nursery at Haydock (7f, good, 16/1) 12 days ago, looking unlucky not to finish closer after slow start/not clear run. Big shout off the same mark under Murphy. Met traffic and was unlucky not to go closer on his nursery debut; goes on the shortlist.

TIETE had to be switched for a clear run when second at Newbury on her nursery debut. Harry Charlton's filly looks one to keep on the right side of and is just preferred to Brastias. The latter also ran into plenty of trouble on his handicap bow when fourth at Haydock and will likely be thereabouts at the finish, while Lingfield maiden winner Creative Lady is another to note.

BRASTIAS looked unlucky not to finish closer on his nursery debut at Haydock a fortnight ago, coming home well having not got a clear run, and he could be set to strike under Oisin Murphy. Liberty Bird and Creative Lady, both successful last time out, and Tiete are other leading players.

Unlucky not to give the favourite a tougher time on her nursery debut, TIETE looks the way to go. Brastias rates the main danger.

Sets the bar pretty high back in a novice. Now 0-8 but holds leading form claims in this weaker scenario than previously.

AMERICAN BAY has posted some useful efforts this season but this step back down to 6f can see this habitual keen-racer get his head in front. Harry Charlton's gelding would have finished a lot closer to the eventual winner had he been granted a clear run when finishing a never-nearer fourth over 7f in a Newbury handicap and looks the one to be with. Saint Matthew is surely better than he showed when finishing down the field over 5f at Ripon and he is respected having been gelded since that run, while Arabic Song completes the shortlist visored for the first time.

AMERICAN BAY was unlucky not to make more of a race of it with the 3 that finished ahead of him in a fairly useful handicap run a good time at Newbury 19 days ago, having conceded first run, and this looks an excellent opportunity for him to get off the mark. Arabic Song took a step forward when runner-up at Wolverhampton in July and seems likely to pose the main threat.

Arabic Song has clear possibilities if backing up her latest effort. Otherwise, this looks a good opportunity for AMERICAN BAY.

Went close in Class 3 Newmarket handicap last month and has excellent chance here.

This may turn into a procession for USUARIO AMIGO, who sets a lofty standard in this contest with a rating of 86. The son of Oasis Dream hit the crossbar in a handicap at Newmarket two starts ago and provided he can put his latest underwhelming display at York behind him, James Owen's gelding looks difficult to oppose. Rating sported first-time cheekpieces when failing to land a blow at Newbury last time, but he could get closer stepping back into maiden company. Borealis Thunder can pick up any pieces.

It isn't too hard to forgive USUARIO AMIGO his run in a strong York Ebor handicap last month and this essentially looks a gilt-edged opportunity for him to get off the mark. Rating will give him most to do if anywhere near her best.

This ought to be straightforward for USUARIO AMIGO, who ran to a useful level when going close in a Newmarket handicap last month.

Winner at Leopardstown in August. 9/2, respectable sixth of 14 in handicap at Naas (10.4f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Back down in trip. Enters calculations.

TRETHORN has been beaten long distances in three maiden runs but has a fine pedigree and showed some promise on his latest run. By Dubawi and out of a well-related Listed-winning dam, the selection finished behind subsequent St Leger winner Jan Brueghel on debut and all of 17 lengths behind last weekend's impressive Petingo Handicap winner Fighter and might improve in first-time cheekpieces from a manageable initial rating. Mooretown Lady has been running consistently well in useful handicaps and is dependable, while Gandolfo has been frustrating to follow but nonetheless was beaten just a short-head over this distance at Gowran a fortnight ago.

PURPLE SKY still has few miles on the clock and wasn't seen to best effect at Galway last week. She makes fair appeal. Avatar Jet and Gandolfo head the list of dangers.

The Denis Hogan yard is in decent form and SPORTINGSILVERMINE is worth a chance to break his duck down in trip.

Promising fourth of 11 in novice (13/2) at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) on debut 31 days ago, not best positioned. That form is working out and he should improve.

A half-brother to the high-class sprinter Battaash, AL MISBAR will appreciate the return to this trip having found one too good over 7f at Newmarket and Charlie Appleby's inmate gets another chance. He sports Godolphin's first colours ahead of the penalised novice winner Midnight Thunder, while West Acre also carries a penalty having made a winning debut over the minimum trip at Newcastle.

MIDNIGHT THUNDER has made a very bright start, scoring impressively at Windsor, and can defy a penalty here. West Acre was a ready winner himself first time up at Newcastle and has more to offer. Battaash's half-brother Al Misbar, and Winnebago, who shaped well at Newmarket, complete the shortlist.

Sprinting looks the way forward for AL MISBAR after he didn't quite see out the 7f at Newmarket last time.

BRIGHT has found an extra gear of late and on the back of wins at Doncaster and Newcastle, the versatile four-year-old can extend the winning run with another 3lb rise in the handicap unlikely to stop him. The veteran Muscika is showing no signs of his enthusiasm waning and also looks a serious contender in this company, while previous C&D winner Hail Sezer lurks on a competitive mark and offers some each-way value back on this happy hunting ground.

BRIGHT arrives at the top of his game and remains on a handy mark. He can complete the hat-trick. Novello Lad and Muscika head the list of dangers.

With the form of his July/August wins stacking up nicely, BRIGHT (nap) can complete the hat-trick. Novello Lad is feared most.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (2/1 +43%) Fighting Poet	2 2/1(+43%)	(5) Fighting Poet 2/1, Course winner over 1½m in August. Creditable third of 10 back here (1½m again) last week. Has to enter calculations. In good form over 1m4f lately and benefits from Sean D Bowen's useful 3lb claim today.
2	7 2nd (7) (5/1 +23%) Clear Justice	5 5/1(+23%)	(7) Clear Justice 5/1, Two course wins under Hollie Doyle this summer, including this trip. Has failed to beat a rival under different riders in 2 outings here since but Doyle is back in the saddle this time. Dual course winner this summer but last of six here on last two outings; hard to predict.
3	10 3rd (10) (125/1 -213%) Miss Raindrop	125 125/1(-213%)	(10) Miss Raindrop 125/1, Fifth of 6 in handicap (25/1) at this course (11.9f, good) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Must improve. Safely held off this basement mark on both stable starts; back in trip with cheekpieces on.
4	1 4th (1) (11/2 -57%) Gallimimus	5.5 11/2(-57%)	(1) Gallimimus 11/2, Won 5-runner C&D handicap (good to soft, 11/4) 15 days ago by neck from Long Call. Shouldn't be much between that pair again. Not very consistent but held on gamely to win from the front over C&D a fortnight ago.
5th	6 5th (6) (40/1 -515%) Agapanther	40 40/1(-515%)	(6) Agapanther 40/1, Campaigned on Jersey Celine De La Haye lately, winning over 1¼m (good to soft) 9 days ago. Carries 5 lb penalty for that back in Britain for new trainer Barry Brennan. Back on the mainland after easy win in Jersey last week; interesting.
6th	2 6th (2) (11/2 +39%) Villalobos	5.5 11/2(+39%)	(2) Villalobos 11/2, Two wins from 6 runs this year, the latest at Salisbury in August. Creditable sixth of 11 in handicap (9/1) at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Dual 1m2f winner this summer; still in good form but on fairly tough mark now.
7th	8 7th (8) (9/1 -100%) Long Call	9 9/1(-100%)	(8) Long Call 9/1, C&D winner. Good neck second of 5 to Gallimimus over C&D (good to soft, 12/1) 15 days ago. Has to be taken seriously under Jack Doughty. Long in the tooth now but went close over C&D a fortnight ago.
8th	11 8th (11) (9/1 +18%) First Encounter	9 9/1(+18%)	(11) First Encounter 9/1, Winner at Leicester (1m) in July. Second over this trip there next time but his run of good form came to a halt when a remote fifth at Chepstow last time. Needs to bounce back from a duff effort but earlier form makes him a contender.
9th	4 9th (4) (12/1 +0%) Letter Of The Law	12 12/1(+0%)	(4) Letter Of The Law 12/1, C&D classified event winner in August. Can have latest Chepstow run ignored after doing a solo up the middle of the track. Made all in C&D classified last month but others in this line-up appeal more.
10th	9 10th (9) (50/1 -100%) Beautiful Surprise	50 50/1(-100%)	(9) Beautiful Surprise 50/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Blinkered first time, third of 7 in handicap (80/1) at this course (1m, good to soft) 15 days ago. Up in trip. Respectable third over 1m here two weeks ago but remains winless since 2yo debut.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (25/1 -56%) Micks Dream	25 25/1(-56%)	(3) Micks Dream 25/1, 40/1 and tongue tied first time, fifth of 7 in handicap at Chepstow (1m, good to firm) 15 days ago. No real sign that he's in good enough form to take advantage of his falling mark. Yet to strike form after five runs this season and not yet proven over today's trip.

Gallimimus beat Long Call is a gutsy display over track and trip earlier in the month and it would be no surprise to see him confirm that form in order to have a say. However, it may pay to side with BEAUTIFUL SURPRISE, who showed improved form in first-time blinkers over a mile here last time and she goes off an unchanged mark. If she can settle better and see out this longer trip, she could be the one to beat. Fighting Poet is another to consider.

The veteran LONG CALL is taken to turn around recent C&D placings with Gallimimus and land a second C&D success 5 years after the first. John Gallagher's charge can give him most to do ahead of Fighting Poet, who has been in good form over 1½m here lately.

In good form over 1m4f here recently, FIGHTING POET benefits from Sean D Bowen's very useful 3lb claim today and gets the nod.

1	1 1st (1) (4/5 -40%) Star Harbour	0.8 4/5(-40%)	(1) Star Harbour 4/5, Smart gelding. Latest win at Tipperary in August. 11/2, excellent second of 9 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f) 33 days ago. Sets a high standard. In good form this year, winning twice incl' over this trip; just denied on AW last time.
2	4 2nd (4) (10/1 -11%) Gesture	10 10/1(-11%)	(4) Gesture 10/1, Fairly useful gelding. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win at Dundalk in April. Tenth of 11 in handicap at Roscommon (10.3f, good to firm, 25/1) 77 days ago so needs to bounce back. Dual AW winner was well held twice on turf after; gelded and back from a break.
3	3 3rd (3) (6/4 +57%) Akecheta	1.5 6/4(+57%)	(3) Akecheta 6/4, Thrice-raced winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Winner at Tipperary in May. Good second of 5 in minor event at Roscommon (10.3f, soft, 8/1) 15 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time and in the mix. Just denied over 1m2.5f at Roscommon last time and this trip can suit better.
4	5 4th (5) (25/1 -108%) Our Town	25 25/1(-108%)	(5) Our Town 25/1, Fairly useful filly. Last of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (9.2f, good to firm, 50/1). Off 107 days. First run for yard after leaving John & Sean Quinn with more needed. French winner was well beaten in two starts in UK and best watched on Irish debut.

STAR HARBOUR might ideally prefer a slightly longer distance but won over today's trip at Tipperary in August and arrives following a career-best effort when second from a rating of 105 at Dundalk. Akecheta's dam is closely related to 2000 Guineas winner Mark Of Esteem and while lightly raced, she has shown useful form. She ran well at Roscommon last time and now has a first-time tongue-tie. Gesture has been gelded since his last run and his best form to date has been achieved on the all-weather.

STAR HARBOUR holds the clear edge on form so rates a confident choice to go one better than his recen excellent Dundalk second. Roscommon runner-up Akecheta appeals as the one to chase home the selection ahead of Acotango.

It is difficult to oppose STAR HARBOUR. Though he stays 1m4f, he did win over this trip this two starts ago.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (4/9 +17%) Green Storm	0.444444 4/9(+17%)	(5) Green Storm 4/9, Thrice-raced colt. Off 3 months, 2/1, second of 13 in novice at Kempton (8f) 11 days ago, just a shade too exuberant to last home after going off hard (Must Believe third). Plenty of scope and good chance if settling better over this longer trip (out of a smart Ribblesdale winner). His form stacks up well and he sets the standard in this company; hung left last time.
2	2 2nd (2) (9/1 -64%) Flying Fortress	9 9/1(-64%)	(2) Flying Fortress 9/1, Thrice-raced colt. Fifth of 13 in novice (12/1) at Kempton (8f) 11 days ago. Upped further in trip and he should be winning races. Behind Green Storm and Must Believe at Kempton; has work to do.
3	7 3rd (7) (25/1 -25%) Romantic Spirit	25 25/1(-25%)	(7) Romantic Spirit 25/1, Twice-raced filly. Fifth of 13 in maiden at Kempton (8f, 50/1) 28 days ago. One for handicaps. Hasn't shown enough to believe she'll be winning before tackling handicaps.
4	6 4th (6) (15/2 +38%) Phoebus	7.5 15/2(+38%)	(6) Phoebus 15/2, 45,000 gns Earthlight colt from the family of Fillies' Mile winner Listen and Moyglare Stud Stakes winner Sequoyah, latter dam of top-class 1m/1¼m performer Henrythenavigator. 18/1, seventh of 16 in maiden at Chepstow (7.1f, good) on debut 22 days ago. Up in trip. Should progress. Seventh of 16 at Chepstow and that was promising; Oisin Murphy takes over.
5th	3 5th (3) (20/1 +0%) Magna Gee Gee	20 20/1(+0%)	(3) Magna Gee Gee 20/1, Foaled April 29. €3,000 foal, €27,000 yearling, 12,000 gns 2-y-o, Magna Grecia colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 9.6f winner Fil The Power and 1¼m winner Engrave. 12,000gns breeze-up 2yo; has winning siblings; need to see some confidence behind him.
6th	4 6th (4) (7/1 -40%) Must Believe	7 7/1(-40%)	(4) Must Believe 7/1, Thrice-raced colt. Third of 13 in novice (9/2) at Kempton (8f) 11 days ago, staying on well (Green Storm second). Winner there looks promising and he can do better upped further still in trip now. Placed the last twice but has nearly 5l to find with Green Storm on their recent encounter.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

GREEN STORM forged clear in the home straight at Kempton last time, but that effort took it's toll as he was headed when hanging left in the closing stages. The son of Circus Maximus will benefit from a more restrained ride and is taken to go one better. Must Believe has plenty to find with the selection on Kempton running, though can still have a say in proceedings, while Phoebus looks a likely improver.

GREEN STORM holds Must Believe on Kempton form and the promising pair can come to the fore upped in trip, with Charlie Johnston's charge taken to come out on top. Flying Fortress should be winning races also.

Some late hanging at Kempton casts a bit of a cloud over GREEN STORM but he comfortably sets the standard and he should stay 1m1f.

Likely contender. Has form figures of 3144 since wearing blinkers; won over C&D last term.
2	7 2nd (7) (11/1 -57%) High Velocity	11 11/1(-57%)	(7) High Velocity 11/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Below form fifth of 9 in handicap (17/2) at Southwell (6.1f) 22 days ago. Others preferred. 0-8 on turf but ran encouragingly on most recent start in this sphere.

5th	8 5th (8) (14/1 +13%) La Boo	14 14/1(+13%)	(8) La Boo 14/1, 25/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 5 days ago. Eyeshields on 1st time, hood on 1st time. Work to do. Chance largely depends on how well she responds to hood/eyeshield.
6th	5 6th (5) (17/2 -6%) Let's Go Hugo	8.5 17/2(-6%)	(5) Let's Go Hugo 17/2, Ninth of 11 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm, 10/1) 17 days ago. Nicely treated on best form. Generally consistent this term; back on last winning mark; one to consider.
7th	6 7th (6) (4/1 +60%) Stormy Pearl	4 4/1(+60%)	(6) Stormy Pearl 4/1, Course winner. Latest win here in July. 5/1, tenth of 14 in handicap at this course (6f, good to firm) 24 days ago, slowly away. Each-way claims. Raced mostly over 6f for current yard; bit to prove back at 5f.
8th	1 8th (1) (18/1 -500%) Newyorkstateofmind	18 18/1(-500%)	(1) Newyorkstateofmind 18/1, Returned to form when taking 14-runner handicap (9/1) at Newcastle (5f) 14 days ago. 4 lb rise fair and should go well again. Inconsistent sort who is no certainty to follow up his Wolverhampton win.
9th	10 9th (10) (28/1 -180%) Street Life	28 28/1(-180%)	(10) Street Life 28/1, Dual winner earlier this year who arrives on back of creditable third of 11 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 14 days ago. Should give another good account. In form but now returns to a better race; most wins on AW.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

The top-weighted Newyorkstateofmind is an obvious contender after his return to form at Newcastle a fortnight ago and a bold showing can be expected, despite a 4lb higher mark. From the other end of the weights, Street Life also commands respect from a workable rating based on past exploits. However, from 19lb lower than his last winning mark, previous course winner GHATHANFAR looks the pick of the bunch on these terms and shades preference as a solid value option.

Preference is for NEWYORKSTATEOFMIND, who bagged his third win of the year at Newcastle a fortnight ago and remains on a workable mark. Street Life and Zuffolo can also make their presence felt.

A chance is taken on HIGH VELOCITY, who looks tempting off his current mark. Second choice is Zuffolo.

2	1 2nd (1) (2/5 +20%) Saint Riquier	0.4 2/5(+20%)	(1) Saint Riquier 2/5, Has made a positive return from a long absence, winning over this trip on AW at Lingfield before routing his field in a 1¼m Leicester apprentice race last Tuesday. Escapes a penalty for that and will be very hard to beat if in the same form. Returned from absence in terrific form on Flat and unpenalised for last week's win.

Creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Epsom (1¼m, good to firm, 16/1) 32 days ago. Well held on previous attempt at 1½m. Two handicap wins over 1m2f in 2024; faded in one attempt at 1m4f so stamina to prove.

Good second of 9 in C&D handicap (good) 28 days ago, clear of rest. C&D winner in 2022; having first run here since when close 2nd latest; this will be harder.

7th	3 7th (3) (14/1 -40%) Falsetto	14 14/1(-40%)	(3) Falsetto 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Ninth of 14 in novice (50/1) at Southwell (1½m ) 14 days ago. Makes handicap debut for leading yard. Well-connected filly; looked promising when 4th in sole turf start (1m3f); handicap debut.
8th	5 8th (5) (22/1 -10%) Corporate Raider	22 22/1(-10%)	(5) Corporate Raider 22/1, C&D winner in June. Went close over 1¼m here next time but well held at Epsom and Windsor since. Needs a return to Brighton to spark him back to life. Good run of form here earlier in the year, including a C&D win; more on plate today.

Hat-trick seeker SAINT RIQUIER is difficult to oppose on the back of a near 10-length success in an apprentice contest at Leicester last week and, from the same mark, is a strong fancy to extend the winning run. Laser Focus is a threat to the selection with the handicapper giving him a chance after his fourth at Leicester, although Torbellino went down fighting over C&D on her most recent start and commands respect on the face value of that latest effort.

A race which to a large degree revolves around SAINT RIQUIER, who will surely complete a hat-trick if in anything the same form as when bolting up off the same mark at Leicester last week. Torbellino and Laser Focus can fight it out for minor honours.

Falsetto is interesting on her handicap debut but it's hard to make a case against the unpenalised SAINT RIQUIER.

ARD NA MARA was no match for Fighter when second in a Curragh maiden, but had 20 horses behind her and the form got a massive boost on Saturday when the winner followed up at Leopardstown. Vadali has been placed on his last three outings and got closer to the winner with each run. He is one to note up in trip. Conversely, the 82-rated Strolling drops back in trip after being beaten a neck into second at Tramore.

POWERFUL HOOK HEAD made an encouraging start to his career at Gowran and, likely to be more street-wise this time, he is taken to come out on top. Vadali has found just one too good in maidens at Limerick and Galway the last twice and should be in the thick of things once more, while Strolling is also of strong interest on the back of her near miss at Tramore. Ard Na Mara makes each-way appeal, along with Coul Dreamer.

Preference is for Jim Bolger's filly ARD NA MARA after the form of her fine effort at the Curragh was boosted at Leopardstown.

3	8 3rd (8) (11/2 +21%) Afloat	5.5 11/2(+21%)	(8) Afloat 11/2, Dual C&D winner in class 6 events in 2023. Good second of 8 in handicap at Brighton (9.9f, soft, 15/2) 8 days ago, no match for improving 3-y-o. This is competitive again. Dual C&D winner last August; better without the usual hood at Brighton last Monday; player.
4	4 4th (4) (13/2 -86%) Silver Gunn	6.5 13/2(-86%)	(4) Silver Gunn 13/2, Course winner. Didn't need to improve to win 6-runner handicap (10/3) at Newmarket (10f, good) 32 days ago. Only back up 2 lb but probably vulnerable in this deeper contest. Tends to pull hard but has won plenty; everything looks in place for another bold showing.

Remains capable of better. Well bred and it's too soon to write him off but others have more pressing claims.

Player if similar tactics work again around here. Took advantage of a sliding mark when making all round Ripon latest; needs to back that up.

Eighth of 10 in handicap at Ascot (10f, good, 28/1) 67 days ago. Rejoined yard after leaving Alan King and needs a revival having tumbled in the weights. Perhaps the return to his old yard will do the trick and holds claims on his Newbury third.

Tongue strap on 1st time/cheekpieces on 1st time. Has some decent novice form that makes him of interest now handicapping upped in trip. Bold bid could be forthcoming. Has a stiffer test in first-time headgear/tongue-tie on handicap debut; watch the market.
9th	6 9th (6) (22/1 -83%) Alrazeen	22 22/1(-83%)	(6) Alrazeen 22/1, Won twice on AW last winter. 14/1, fifth of 6 in handicap at Newmarket (10f, good to firm) 88 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Gelded since. Gelded since a couple of below-par runs in early summer; will need a career-best effort.

WARRIOR'S DANCE comes into this with an interesting profile having been far from disgraced in three qualifying runs over 7f and 1m. Now stepping up in trip sporting cheekpieces for the first time, the son of Lope De Vega gets the vote to gain a breakthrough victory. Silver Gunn did it well when scoring over 1m2f at Newmarket last month and he must enter calculations nudged up 2lb, while fellow last-time-out winner Woodstock City commands respect.

WARRIOR'S DANCE looks capable of much better now handicapping up in trip with headgear fitted and gets the vote. Arazzo remains capable of better, while Roxanne is potentially interesting down in grade if settling better.

Unlucky with the way races unfolded in three handicaps in the summer, SNIPER'S EYE is preferred to dual C&D winner Afloat.

9th	5 9th (5) (14/1 -250%) Betweenthesticks	14 14/1(-250%)	(5) Betweenthesticks 14/1, Ended long losing run at Lingfield (5f) last month and backed that up with creditable third of 8 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm, 10/3) 15 days ago.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

BETWEENTHESTICKS is an interesting recruit for the Ruth Carr stable and, having won off just a 2lb lower mark for his former trainer on his penultimate start, this could be a good time to catch the son of Captain Gerrard. The class-dropping Secret Command looks a serious contender at this level, while Ifonlytheycudtalk is also noteworthy back in a low-grade handicap after being well backed for a near miss in a classified event at Thirsk last month.

MARIS ANGEL improved significantly when scoring over this trip at Wolverhampton last week and remains low mileage. She is fancied to follow up. Betweenthesticks and Secret Command are feared most.

Dropped in class off a reduced mark, MAJESKI MAN may be the answer. Secret Command is second choice.

A C&D winner on his penultimate start, WALEYFA seems to have been revitalised by a a recent switch in stables and, after a near miss on Southwell last month, the Kublers' mare is an attractive proposition back at this venue from a still workable mark. In-form pair Interestnpenalties and Romanovich can make sure this isn't a cakewalk for the selection, with the former suggested as the chief threat based on his potential to improve over this trip.

The thriving WALEYFA is narrowly preferred to fellow C&D scorer Romanovich, who arrives on the back of a win in a big field at Chepstow 3 weeks ago. Low-mileage 3-y-o Sorontar is another who could go well.

In a competitive race for the grade the suggestion is WALEYFA (nap), who was an emphatic C&D winner on last month's stable debut.

MON ETOILE improved for the step up to this trip at Musselburgh on Saturday. Beaten only a neck on that occasion, the three-year-old can finally open her account with more to come over the distance. Sycamore Gap is another looking for a first win, but that won't be long in coming judged on recent placed efforts, while Bond Spirit showed a bit more at Bath recently and has winning form on the Tapeta.

A very open handicap but MON ETOILE is able to race off the same mark as when a very good recent Musselburgh second so gets the vote. In-form duo Sycamore Gap and Bond Spirit appeal as the main dangers to Charlie Johnston's filly and can chase her home in that order.

The vote goes to BOND SPIRIT whose three career wins include two on the Southwell Tapeta.

There should be upside in SHAVASI's mark of 76. She was last seen finishing third in a higher grade at Sligo. Prior to that, she shed her maiden tag at Killarney. Counterculture hacked up in a maiden at Roscommon and is one to keep on the right side of. The experienced Sli Na Ghealai is more than capable of landing a blow, while Presence goes to work at the bottom end of the handicap and shouldn't be underestimated.

This can go to PRESENCE, who ran a cracker back in handicap company at Galway last month and remains low mileage. Counterculture and Sli Na Ghealai rate the principal dangers.

A maiden winner over a mile at this track a year ago, PERFECT POISE has run well in defeat at times since and can score again.

SUMMER OF LOVE has shown improved form since fitted with a hood (retained) the last twice, most recently running out a comfortable winner over 7f at Epsom. Provided this drop to 6f is of no hinderance to the daughter of Dark Angel, she should prove tough to stop off 3lb higher. Rosy Affair has hit the woodwork on her last two starts and, if the application of a tongue-tie can eke out some improvement, she should go well. Kitai is also of some interest.

There should be more to come from SUMMER OF LOVE and she's taken to strike again down in trip. Rosy Affair continues in top form, shaping best at Newmarket last time, and is a big player. Azure Angel caught the eye at Kempton and could be in the hunt if backing that up returned to turf.

This can go to SUMMER OF LOVE (nap) who has yet to try her luck at sprinting but she'll get a fast pace to chase and that will help.

SEE THAT STORM is unbeaten in two starts since joining the Ed Bethell yard and his cosy victory at Pontefract last time reads well in the context of this race. The son of Storm The Stars is only 5lb higher for that triumph and he might be capable of continuing his rapid upward curve to complete the hat-trick. Great Blasket finished third in a class 2 event at Newmarket last month and will find this easier, while Sudden Ambush is another to consider after his second at Doncaster.

SEE THAT STORM made it 2-2 for this yard when seeing off the re-opposing pair Highwaygrey and Shimmering Sands at Pontefract last month and, with the promise of better to come from this unexposed 3-y-o, he looks capable of defying a 5 lb rise in the weights. Shimmering Sands has since put in another good shift at Beverley and he is feared most, while Great Blasket, who has been contesting higher-grade handicaps than this in recent months, also enters calculations.

See That Storm holds obvious claims but his hat-trick bid may be thwarted by interesting alternative SUDDEN AMBUSH.

Otago showed a likeable attitude when scoring gamely over C&D last week and a 4lb penalty doesn't discount another bold bid from Jim Boyle's charge. That said, preference is for the hat-trick seeking SPLIT ELEVENS. The C&D winner impressed with how he went about his business when scoring narrowly over 7f at Lingfield recently, and he gets the vote to shoulder a 4lb rise returning to the turf. Poetic Force is also noteworthy.

The thriving SPLIT ELEVENS can make it 5 wins in his last 6 starts. Forgotten Treasure and Otago can give John Butler's charge most to think about.

Six-race maiden ASH WEDNESDAY was keeping on well at the end of 5.7f two starts ago and may have some improvement to come over 7f.

WHERE IS THE LOVE was having her first outing since February when just missing out at Chelmsford recently in first-time cheekpieces. The headgear remains in place and Joseph Parr's unexposed filly looks set to strike off her current mark. The Bobster also has scope for further progress having produced his best performance so far when fourth at Musselburgh latest, while Loom Large finished strongly when runner-up over a mile here a fortnight ago and is another to bear in mind.

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and LOOM LARGE is fancied to end a losing run on the back of his very good course second last time out. Chelmsford runner-up Where Is The Love is next on the list, with The Bobster and Macho Sun also in the mix.

The vote goes to C&D winner LOOM LARGE (nap) who shaped as though the return to this trip would suit last time.

Narrowly denied on handicap debut after long absence, chance again off 4lb higher.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

There was plenty to like about JARVIS BROOK's stable debut second at Gowran Park. He had been off for more than 16 months and was just pipped on that first start for Paul Nolan. The bounce factor obviously comes into play, but he travelled well at Gowran which bodes well for this assignment. Harseva has shown improvement since entering handicaps and is on a mark she can go well off. Tartaraghan's runner-up effort at Down Royal reads well in the context of this race and she's noted too.

There should be more to come from JARVIS BROOK, who only narrowly failed to make a winning debut for his new yard at Gowran last month and is entitled to build on that. Harseva and Adhul should also go well.

Narrow preference is for HARSEVA. She has run very well in her first two handicaps and this slight drop in trip should suit.

This is tougher but he's still well treated on his best form. Race run to suit when dropped in from a wide stall last time (AW); this is tougher up 4lb.

Clearly on a good mark if backing that up returned to the scene of his last 2 victories. Three wins to his name in eight starts over C&D; back in form last week; leading claims.

Thunder Star won this corresponding race off a 1lb higher mark last year and is a notable contender. Fellow course winners Lil Guff and Stone Circle also enter calculations, but GRACE ANGEL has held her form well since returning from wind surgery and, as a likely pace angle, she could be tough to reel in if she is allowed to dictate the fractions.

STONE CIRCLE has slipped to a tempting mark and signalled a return to form when second at Leicester last week. He's a regular here with a good record and could be set to resume winning ways. Grace Angel and last year's winner Thunder Star are a couple of the other likely players.

Stone Circle is well handicapped but THUNDER STAR is fancied to follow up last year's win in this race.

Marmalade Lady finished 12 lengths clear of the third when hitting the crossbar in heavy conditions over 1m4f at Ffos Las last month and she should go well off a 1lb lower rating. However, she could come out second best to NORMANDY VISTA, who had Sonning (third) behind when taking the silver medal home at Catterick on his penultimate start and he followed that up with a fair third over two furlongs shorter at the same venue last time. Charlie Johnston's three-year-old looks well placed to return to winning ways.

The vote goes to MARMALADE LADY, who pulled a country mile clear of the rest when chasing home the in-form Three Dons (winner again since) at Ffos Las last month. She is now 1 lb lower and makes plenty of appeal back on faster ground. Sonning has dipped to an attractive mark and may emerge as the main threat ahead of Normandy Vista and Bamboo Bay.

The return to 1m6f can suit MARMALADE LADY and her earlier turf and AW runs suggest she should still have potential off this mark.

ALFRED COVE found only one rival too good when going down narrowly over 6f here earlier this month and, off an unchanged mark sporting cheekpieces for the first time, the son of Ardad looks the one to side with. Bluebells Boy scored with the minimum of fuss over 6f at Lingfield last week and he appears to be the main danger to the selection, despite carrying a 5lb penalty, while Tilsworth Ony Ta completes the shortlist off just 2lb higher than his last winning mark.

ALFRED COVE has Hollie Doyle doing the steering again and can prove too strong for last week's Lingfield 1-2 Bluebells Boy and Don't Fight It in this finale.

Bluebells Boy produced a good performance on Polytrack last week but the runner-up DON'T FIGHT IT might turn the tables here.

OUR NOBLE LORD was having only his second start of the year when third in a classified stakes race at Ayr last month. That form looks better in hindsight given the winner has subsequently landed a hat-trick and Lucinda Russell looks to have found him a good opportunity to open his account. Wheres The Crumpet has been in decent form over a mile and returns to this longer trip with a shout, while both Pearly Star and Busby have won off a higher marks in the past.

WHERES THE CRUMPET rates just the pick of the weights and can boast a C&D victory so looks the way to go. Our Noble Lord could emerge as the main danger on the back of his good Ayr third, with Pearly Star and Violeta also in the picture.

It may be worth taking a chance with BUSBY who is well treated on his placed efforts over C&D earlier in the year.

Plenty in with chances in a competitive handicap. LIMESTONE RED ran well for a long way at Cork latest before finishing third and could build on that for Michael Halford and Tracey Collins. Finsceal Annie looks sure to be popular after delivering at Tipperary before just failing by a head to follow up at the same track. Prominent racer Simple Endeavour has finished second on her last couple of outings and ought to be in the mix too.

HALE BOPP has been given a chance by the handicapper and shaped well over a shorter trip at the Curragh last month. He gets the nod in the finale. Keilah and Limestone Red can also make their presence felt.

FINSCEAL ANNIE gets the nod. She was arguably a shade unlucky not to win again last time and a 5lb hike may not halt her progression.

Unbeaten in three starts since rejoining Darryll Holland, another big run can be expected from Bernard Spierpoint. However, this looks deeper than the handicap he won at Brighton and, with that in mind, IT'S SHOWTIME could be the way to go given she is far less exposed on turf and appears to have been found a decent opportunity. Jungle Run is also noted.

BERNARD SPIERPOINT is on a roll and can get the 4-timer up. It's Showtime might be the danger back down in class.

A small field but still competitive. KURIMU wasn't seen to best effect on AW last time and can prove too strong for Jungle Run.

UNIQUE SPIRIT finished third over C&D last Thursday when tackling this distance for the first time, and a repeat of that display might see David O'Meara's gelding shed the maiden tag in what appears to be a winnable contest on paper. Veer has filled the runner-up spot on his last couple of starts and may benefit from stepping up in trip, while others to note include Lunacy and Different Drum.

UNIQUE SPIRIT took a step forward on his first go over 2m when a recent C&D third and is fancied to open his account off the same mark here. Lunacy and Pop The Champagne are a couple of others to consider.

The choice is VEER who has finished runner up in his last two starts over 1m6f, shaping as though this even stiffer test would suit.

Magic Basma made a winning debut at Carlisle when getting the better of Khaldiya (third), but it would be no surprise if the latter were able to reverse the form with Kevin Ryan's filly carrying a 7lb penalty. The vote, though, goes to PRIMROSE PATH. The daughter of Kodiac took a decent step forward from her debut when just denied at Newbury last time and wouldn't need to improve all that much to go one better.

Little between the principals on form but Kevin Ryan's debut Carlisle scorer MAGIC BASMA looks open to a fair bit of progress so is fancied to follow up at the chief expense of Khaldiya. Primrose Path is another who needs factoring in, along with the returning Night In Paris.

This can go to MAGIC BASMA who is taken to confirm last month's Carlisle running with Khaldiya.

Lift Lady arrives on the back of her best run to date when third at Brighton and the addition of a tongue-tie may yield further improvement, but a chance is taken on WIESAAM. The selection hasn't shown very much in three outings to date, but he represents a team in excellent form and it would be no surprise if first-time blinkers helped him on his nursery debut. Harry Palmer and Elladora Black head the remainder.

LIFT LADY has a race like this in her and could be the way to go in the hope a tongue tie can help her concentration. Harry Palmer needs to break better but could improve now handicapping and is feared. Wiesaam must make the shortlist also given her profile.

The selection is HARRY PALMER who looks interesting with his dam a sister to the smart Commander Cole who showed useful form on the AW.

3	9 3rd (9) (5/1 +29%) Jodhpur Blue	5 5/1(+29%)	(9) Jodhpur Blue 5/1, Twice-raced gelding. 6/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, third of 6 in novice at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) 52 days ago. Place possibilities on AW debut. Some promise in two Salisbury novices during the summer; handicaps may be more his thing.
4	5 4th (5) (5/2 +38%) Boss Dog	2.5 5/2(+38%)	(5) Boss Dog 5/2, Promising sort. 9/1, third of 10 in novice at Kempton (7f) 20 days ago, having run of race. Open to progress and likely to be on the premises. Improved from debut when a close third at Kempton last time; one of the likelier winners.
5th	3 5th (3) (13/2 -63%) Bamburgh	6.5 13/2(-63%)	(3) Bamburgh 13/2, Twice-raced colt. 4/1, second of 4 in maiden at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 17 days ago, no match for winner. His form is among the best on offer in this contest and should be in the mix, provided that he takes to this surface. Showed ability in both starts on turf last month; high on list if taking to Tapeta.
6th	1 6th (1) (9/2 -13%) Parthenopaeus	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(1) Parthenopaeus 9/2, Twice-raced gelding. 6/1, third of 11 in novice at this course (8f) when last seen in February. Drop back to 7f shouldn't be an issue and he'll surely be involved in the finish, if fit enough to do himself justice. Placed twice here at the start of the year; each-way claims if returning in the same form.
7th	4 7th (4) (25/1 -108%) Bereit	25 25/1(-108%)	(4) Bereit 25/1, More Than Ready colt. Brother to 3 winners, including smart winner up to 1m Nemoralia and 7f winner Blue On Blue. Dam US winner up to 8.5f (2-y-o 6.5f winner). Worth a second look in the betting with Jamie Spencer booked. Unraced for Dermot Weld and new stable has few winning newcomers; worth a market check.
8th	12 8th (12) (150/1 -127%) Sky Lagoon	150 150/1(-127%)	(12) Sky Lagoon 150/1, Once-raced filly. 80/1, seventh of 14 in novice at Southwell (7.1f) on debut 30 days ago. Hard to warm to. Midfield on her Southwell debut last month; may be one for handicaps in due course.
9th	7 9th (7) (50/1 -213%) Cable Beach	50 50/1(-213%)	(7) Cable Beach 50/1, Once-raced gelding. 100/1, fifth of 10 in maiden at Southwell (7.1f) on debut in March, not knocked about. That experience won't be wasted on him and improvement is on the cards. Showed promise when fifth on his Southwell debut in March; watch market on return.
10th	2 10th (2) (200/1 -100%) Arc Tesoro	200 200/1(-100%)	(2) Arc Tesoro 200/1, Once-raced gelding. Sixth of 8 in maiden at Southwell (8.1f, 50/1) on debut 14 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps in due course. Well-beaten sixth on his Southwell debut a fortnight ago; probably needs more time.
11th	8 11th (8) (150/1 -50%) Glastonbury	150 150/1(-50%)	(8) Glastonbury 150/1, Twice-raced gelding. 150/1, ninth of 12 in maiden at Southwell (6.1f) 18 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Another who will be of greater interest in handicaps later on. Well beaten in two Southwell maidens last month; looks one for handicaps after this.
12th	6 12th (6) (150/1 -200%) Boyd Crowder	150 150/1(-200%)	(6) Boyd Crowder 150/1, Twice-raced gelding. Eighth of 14 in novice (28/1) at Southwell (7.1f) 30 days ago. Yard saddles a stronger candidate in Parthenopaeus. Out of the frame in both starts, running green each time; one for handicaps after this.

BOSS DOG took a big leap forward from his debut effort when making the frame at Kempton last month, and he should have plenty more to offer on only his third start. With Tom Marquand booked, he looks set for a big run. Bamburgh has shown ability on both of his starts to date, including his second at Beverley last time, and he is one to take seriously on his first all-weather start. Any market support for newcomer Trident would be interesting.

The hint should probably be taken if there is confidence behind newcomer TRIDENT in the betting. Indeed, he looks the part on paper and wouldn't need to be out of the ordinary to make a winning debut here. That said, Parthenopaeus, Bamburgh and Boss Dog (in order of preference) should all pick up a race before long judged on what they've shown, while Cable Beach's debut effort was not devoid of promise and he can be expected to leave that form well behind in time.

Given his pedigree and his connections, TRIDENT wouldn't have to be anything out of the ordinary to make a belated winning debut.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (5/2 +62%) The Cookstown Cafu	2.5 5/2(+62%)	(3) The Cookstown Cafu 5/2, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Ninth of 13 in handicap (6/1) at Pontefract (8f, good) 30 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and could be a factor if he puts his best foot forward on first run for respected new yard. Half-brother to a couple of useful AW winners and worth a market check on stable debut.
2	10 2nd (10) (9/1 +10%) Novak	9 9/1(+10%)	(10) Novak 9/1, C&D winner. Nineteen runs since last win in 2023. 9/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Place possibilities. 1-22 here and losing run up to 19; others more solid.
3	6 3rd (6) (10/1 +38%) Patontheback	10 10/1(+38%)	(6) Patontheback 10/1, C&D winner. Bit below form fifth of 12 in handicap (20/1) at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Others make more appeal. Won easily over C&D in August last year; solid chance if rediscovering that form.
4	12 4th (12) (4/1 +11%) Windsor Pass	4 4/1(+11%)	(12) Windsor Pass 4/1, Remains a maiden after 23 Flat runs. 28/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 14 days ago, slowly away. Down to a career-low mark and she's a strong candidate with Jamie Spencer aboard. 0-23; down another 2lb and interesting to see if Jamie Spencer can find the key to her.
5th	11 5th (11) (9/1 -13%) Snash	9 9/1(-13%)	(11) Snash 9/1, Course winner. 15/2, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 14 days ago, not ideally placed. Not without each-way hope. 4-9 on Tapeta and 7lb below his last winning mark; this stiffer 7f does pose a question.
6th	1 6th (1) (10/1 -100%) Shaw Park	10 10/1(-100%)	(1) Shaw Park 10/1, Three wins from 15 runs this year, the latest at Brighton in August. 4/1, fourth of 6 in handicap there (8f, good) 16 days ago. 1 lb lower now and should make his presence felt. In the frame in three of his four starts over C&D, but is 0-13 on the AW.
7th	2 7th (2) (13/2 -136%) Five Winds	6.5 13/2(-136%)	(2) Five Winds 13/2, Winner at Yarmouth in June. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable third of 10 in handicap (11/2) at Southwell (6.1f) 22 days ago. Likely to give another good account of herself. Has run well in both starts since returned to the AW; has a bit to prove over a stiff 7f.
8th	7 8th (7) (10/1 -54%) Bicep	10 10/1(-54%)	(7) Bicep 10/1, C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 5/1, bit below form fifth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago but he nevertheless enters calculations. Still 4lb lower than when winning over C&D last October; capable of playing a part.
9th	9 9th (9) (100/1 -300%) Too Much	100 100/1(-300%)	(9) Too Much 100/1, Hooded for 1st time, sixth of 12 in handicap (22/1) at Southwell (7.1f) 30 days ago. Needs to raise her game. Unplaced in four starts for this yard, but ran better last time; needs to build on it.
10th	4 10th (4) (66/1 -100%) Deputy	66 66/1(-100%)	(4) Deputy 66/1, 25/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Carlisle (6.9f, soft) 19 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and needs to bounce back in a major way. Has lost his way since last summer; best watched on Tapeta debut.
11th	8 11th (8) (28/1 -100%) Gobi Sunset	28 28/1(-100%)	(8) Gobi Sunset 28/1, C&D winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. Fifth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 12/1) 14 days ago. Has work to do. Front-runner and dual C&D winner, but losing run now up to 16; needs to do better.
12th	5 12th (5) (28/1 +30%) Autumn Festival	28 28/1(+30%)	(5) Autumn Festival 28/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 33/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Haydock (8.2f, good) 10 days ago. Readily passed over. Has lost his way and has never shown much aptitude for the AW in any case.

Windsor Pass lurks on an appealing mark and a repeat of her most recent third at Southwell should see her go well under Jamie Spencer. However, FIVE WINDS looks the more solid option. Jack Jones' four-year-old finished a close-up third at Southwell last time and is only 1lb higher. The step back up in trip shouldn't pose her any problems and she looks the one to beat. Snash is another to note.

While WINDSOR PASS now falls into the 'longstanding maiden' category, she has slipped to an attractive mark and is appealing back here (performed well both previous visits to this course) with Jamie Spencer booked on the back of creditable efforts at Newmarket and Southwell in recent weeks. Five Winds is proving pretty consistent and is next on the list with this step back up to 7f a potentially good move. Shaw Park, Snash and The Cookstown Cafu are others to consider.

The vote goes to PATONTHEBACK who would have a good chance if back to the form that saw him win easily over C&D in August last year.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (11/2 -340%) Balqaa	5.5 11/2(-340%)	(6) Balqaa 11/2, C&D winner. Improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 15/8) 14 days ago, overcoming pace bias. It's unlikely that a 6 lb rise will be enough to stop her in her tracks. 2-19 here; respected despite 6lb rise for her Southwell success a fortnight ago.
2	2 2nd (2) (9/2 +50%) Cuban Fiesta	4.5 9/2(+50%)	(2) Cuban Fiesta 9/2, Respectable sixth of 13 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 14/1) 82 days ago, running on. First run for yard after leaving Ed Dunlop and it'll be interesting to see how he shapes up in the betting. 0-7 for Ed Dunlop; watch market on stable debut.
3	3 3rd (3) (13/2 -30%) Tambourine Dream	6.5 13/2(-30%)	(3) Tambourine Dream 13/2, 5/1, creditable third of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 13 days ago and could have a part to play off the same mark here, provided she is able to build on that. Twice placed in Polytrack handicaps; each-way claims if able to repeat that form.
4	5 4th (5) (25/1 -56%) Carvalhal	25 25/1(-56%)	(5) Carvalhal 25/1, Winner at Hamilton in August. 10/1, last of 13 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, soft) 13 days ago. Others look stronger. Bolted up at Hamilton last month, but a 7lb rise has seemed to find him out twice since.
5th	4 5th (4) (5/4 +50%) Love Warrior	1.25 5/4(+50%)	(4) Love Warrior 5/4, First run since leaving Charlie Johnston when creditable second of 14 in handicap (3/1) at this C&D 7 days ago. Likely to be in the thick of things once more. Beaten a neck into second of 14 on stable debut over C&D a week ago; major player.
6th	7 6th (7) (14/1 +58%) Meade Gold	14 14/1(+58%)	(7) Meade Gold 14/1, Seventh of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 40/1) 12 days ago. Significantly back down in trip and he's readily passed over. Not within 7l of the winner in six starts; hard to know what his optimum trip is.
7th	8 7th (8) (28/1 -12%) Pop Favorite	28 28/1(-12%)	(8) Pop Favorite 28/1, Five-time C&D winner. 40/1, twelfth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago and looks set for another struggle. Five of his six wins have come over C&D, but not in the best of form lately.
8th	1 8th (1) (11/1 +31%) Dumfries	11 11/1(+31%)	(1) Dumfries 11/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 7/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 18 days ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere. 1-17; out of the frame in all nine starts since returning for this yard in March.

Balqaa justified favouritism in this grade at Southwell earlier in the month and she should make a bold bid off a 6lb higher rating. However, TAMBOURINE DREAM looks the way to go. James Fanshawe's filly showed improved form when dropping to a mile and finishing third at Lingfield on her latest outing. With the promise of more to come over this distance, she could capitalise off an unchanged mark. Love Warrior is also respected.

BALQAA snapped a losing run stretching back nearly two years in good style at Southwell a fortnight ago and, with the perfect partner on board to execute the hold-up tactics that bring out the best in her, this 6 lb higher mark should be well within her reach. Love Warrior went down narrowly over C&D on debut for this yard last week and he is second choice ahead of Tambourine Dream.

This can go to LOVE WARRIOR who made such a promising stable debut when beaten a neck over C&D a week 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.
