A weak affair that concerns just three, with BEAUTY BELLA getting the nod over One Boss and Miss McHenry. Placed four-times from nine starts, the Adrian Murray-trained selection filled the runner-up spot over the course and distance on her most recent outing. In for a price of E25,000, the Buratino bay will be ridden by Jack Cleary who claims a valuable 7lb. One Boss (E25,000) is just about the highest rated runner in the line-up and while she disappointed at Punchestown earlier this month, a much improved performance can be expected from her now. Beaten by just a neck over the course and distance on her penultimate start, the Saxon Warrior bay certainly wouldn't be winning out of turn. Miss McHenry (E15,000) has some decent efforts to her name and should be able to make her presence felt in a contest of this quality.

A trappy claiming maiden with ONE BOSS getting the vote. She was placed 3 times in a row in handicaps this summer, including over C&D, and seems sure to be thereabouts dropped in grade. Miss McHenry and Beauty Bella are feared.

The well-bred ALIGN THE STARS cost 100,000gns as a yearling and the son of Sea The Stars displayed plenty of promise when second on his debut over an extended mile at Hamilton a month ago. With the benefit of that experience and this step up in trip, Charlie Johnston's colt could be hard to stop. That said, Torrent also put in a promising display on his racecourse bow and he should not be underestimated, while Let's Dream completes the shortlist.

ALIGN THE STARS and Torrent ran with promise and to a similar level on debut, and the former is just preferred before market clues. Dream Ocean makes some appeal on paper on debut.

The well-bred Sea The Stars colt ALIGN THE STARS was a close second over 8.3f on debut and is taken to go one better now up in trip.

No worse than third in four visits to Bellewstown, another bold bid can be expected from WHAT ADAAY. Successful here in July, the Pat Martin-trained five-year-old was third when attempting to follow-up on her most recent start. The Bog Bank won this race 12-months ago and is another with a fine record at the Co Meath venue. Fourth or better on her last seven visits to the Hill Of Crockafotha, she will again be ridden by regular pilot James Ryan, with the young apprentice claiming a valuable 5lb. With Frankie Dettori aboard, Trueba famously won at this meeting in 2021 and it'll come as little surprise if he manages to strike again. The admirable gelding provided Wesley Joyce win this first win since returning from injury at Cork last month, and the Co Limerick pilot is reunited with the seven-year-old now. Fastman, Manhattan Dandy and Navorrosse are others for the shortlist.

Last year's main players could come to the fore again with WHAT ADAAY boasting a fine course record and taken to come out on top from The Bog Bank and Navorrosse. Manhattan Dandy is another to consider despite his poor strike-rate.

The selection is MANHATTAN DANDY despite his poor win record, he can go close with the plum draw and will be ridden prominently
Class & Speed Card

Wichahpi has to be respected having got off the mark at Thirsk last week, but a 6lb penalty will make life tougher for her. With that in mind, preference is for MECCA'S DUCHESS, who was a close second on the same card nine days ago and she can race off the same mark here. Miss Woo Woo and Be Here Now are others who are capable of going very well in an open event.

MECCA'S DUCHESS showed improved form stepping up from 5f when second at Thirsk last time and Michael Dods's filly is fancied to go one better here. Be Here Now has proven progressive since entering nurseries and is another major player despite being drawn highest, whilst Wichahpi can't be fully discounted if able to back up her Thirsk success, though admittedly she may have been seen to maximum effect there.

The suggestion is GEORGE'S RASCAL who has shown promise over 6f and could find more now dropping back to this trip on his nursery debut.
Class & Speed Card

Bumper and hurdles winner DE LADY IN RED is from a family which includes some useful chasers and she may be able to score at the first time of asking over fences. Her unplaced run at the Galway Festival will at least have advanced her fitness and she had a good hurdles run on testing ground last year. Natural Look was set to win on her second chase start when coming down at the final fence at Kilbeggan. If none the worse for that tumble, she should contend but her best form has been on decent ground. Shesadream achieved the highest hurdles rating of any of these and is from the family of smart chaser Peregrine Run. She has never run on anything other than good ground, though, and underfoot conditions will be very different here.

NATURAL LOOK seemed sure to win had he not come down at the last in a novice chase at Kilbeggan recently and, provided he's none the worse for that, she should be capable of making amends. Hope Des Blins should find this a bit easier than the race she was third in at Killarney last time, so she's considered a threat along with Shesadream, a notable chasing debutant.

There are winning chasers in the pedigree of DE LADY IN RED who should handle testing ground; she can make a winning start over fences
Class & Speed Card

STADIUM TALK had plenty in hand when romping home in a 3m mares' maiden hurdle at Wexford at the start of this month, and readily appeals as the most attractive proposition on the back of that performance. Fellow Irish raider Gaye Winnie also landed a similar contest on her latest start and is feared most, despite stepping up in trip. Condesa and El Elefante both hold course wins, although the latter has something to prove as she tries hurdles for the first time, while the former has a stamina query now stepping up in distance.

EL ELEFANTE created a fine impression when winning both starts in bumpers in the spring and Lucinda Russell's mare is worth chancing to maintain her unbeaten record receiving weight from the bulk of the already-proven Irish contingent, with Condesa, Stadium Talk and Sea Aster most appealing amongst them.

The most tempting option is SEA ASTER, who brings a very solid piece of handicap form back into novice company.
Class & Speed Card

LATTAM was sent off favourite for the Golden Mile when suffering interference at a crucial point, and the four-year-old, who has progressed well this season with victories at the Curragh and Newcastle, boasts strong credentials in his bid to bounce back from that effort. The Gatekeeper was runner-up in the aforementioned event and has since won here, having been awarded a race in the stewards' room at the end of last month. He is respected, while Fox Tal and Rhoscolyn are others likely to be in the mix.

LATTAM had little go right when sent off favourite for the Golden Mile over C&D just under 8 weeks ago so William Haggas' 4-y-o is worth another chance to continue on his upward trajectory. He can get the better of Hafeet Alain, who is fancied to get back on track returned to turf and reunited with top apprentice Connor Planas. Rhoscolyn won twice at this venue last month so he rounds off the shortlist.

The Golden Mile didn't go smoothly for LATTAM, who is taken to resume his progress. The Gatekeeper is feared most.
Class & Speed Card

With Jamie Spencer aboard, it could be a case of third time lucky for RAMPAGE at Bellewstown. Beaten by a neck into second on his two previous visits to the Co Meath venue, the Tom McCourt-trained four-year-old has managed to win elsewhere. Successful at Leopardstown in July, he again triumphed at Galway on his most recent start. A case can be made for many others in this competitive affair, with Ampeson given second preference. A now six-time winner, the son of Mayson delivered on his debut for Gavin Cromwell at Fairyhouse last week and it'll come as no surprise if he manages to follow-up. Beaten by just a nose at Listowel, Mercurial is sure to have plenty of supporters, while Celebrating Ethel, Imposing Supreme and Sunday Sovereign are other leading hopes.

AMPESON remains with handicapping scope after a 3 lb rise for Fairyhouse and can make it 2-2 for new trainer Gavin Cromwell. Rampage has had a very good spell since the start of the summer and is second choice ahead of July's C&D winner Sunday Sovereign, the mount of Colin Keane.
Class & Speed Card

AMAYRETTO only just failed to get up when a head second over 7f at Newcastle last week and the step up in trip can help her to go one better off the same mark here. Goldmine Girl bounced back to form when fourth at Thirsk recently but that was over 6f and this extra distance is a slight concern, while Budding Poet completes the shortlist.

AMAYRETTO showed much improved form when runner-up at Newcastle last week and a repeat effort should be enough to open her account in what looks a seriously low-grade nursery. Budding Poet hinted at ability when mid-field at Bath recently, so he's put forward as the main danger, with Brooklyn Express rounding off the shortlist.

The most obvious answer is AMAYRETTO, who went close on Tapeta last week and gets another chance off the same mark here.
Class & Speed Card

Eight-year-old LUCID DREAMS, whose dam is a half-sister to smart staying chasers Monkerhostin and Eric's Charm, only began his career in March and has already recorded three wins over hurdles. The form of his latest victory at Killarney was boosted by the runner-up at Listowel and John Ryan's charge is unlikely to be troubled by the drop back from 2m7f. Danny Mullins is an interesting booking for three-time hurdles winner Plains Indian. The Shantou gelding made a bad mistake when sixth on chasing debut at Downpatrick and, with a better round of jumping, may be able to turn around the form of that contest with third home Weddell Sea. Ahead Of The Posse was second over hurdles at the Galway festival and made a fair start over fences when third in a novice contest at Tramore.

LUCID DREAMS is a useful and reliable hurdler who is fancied to make a successful start over fences if his jumping is sound. Wedell Sea and Plains Indian are both likely to improve from their chasing debuts, so they should pose a threat to the selection.

Unraced until March this year, LUCID DREAMS has won three races over hurdles and has achieved a rating that suggests he can win here
Class & Speed Card

The consistent BEAUTY TO BEHOLD was a good second over C&D 16 days ago and she could provide a bit of value in her bid to go one place better. The six-year-old mare has shown a real liking for this course and, having improved since joining her current yard, she is a serious player off just 4lb higher. Uncle Bert was highly tried in the Mersey Novices' Hurdle at Aintree last time and has to be feared at this level after a break, while Irish raider Andys Flame is another to consider.

SANOSUKE has run up to his best when second at this C&D on his last 2 starts, collared only near the finish in May, and the 5-y-o can pick up where he left off to gain a first success over hurdles. He is taken to get the better of Uncle Bert, who isn't taken lightly on his handicap debut, while Andys Flame also merits consideration.

Most are in good form but the one with most potential is UNCLE BERT, a promising novice last season who makes his handicap debut here.
Class & Speed Card

This has already been a rewarding season for Coco Bear and, having been trapped in a pocket when winding up with his challenge at Newmarket when last seen, he is a threat to all if he can negotiate a smoother journey from the same mark. However, CAPOTE'S DREAM is equally consistent and, having been cut some slack by the handicapper, he has a live chance of getting back to winning ways from a highly attractive mark. Ultramarine was rated 106 at his best in Ireland and also rates as a contender on these terms.

It took a bit of time for HARB to get off the mark on turf but the smoothness of last week's Sandown victory suggests he may now land 2 wins in quick succession. Coco Bear did well on soft ground in the spring and is feared most with conditions likely to be in his favour. Ultramarine was back on track at just the second time of asking for the David Evans yard when third at Yarmouth last week and is also respected with William Buick doing the steering.

The return to a slow surface should be ideal for COCO BEAR and he earns the vote ahead of last week's Sandown winner Harb.
Class & Speed Card

Eddie Lynam has a strong hand, saddling three of the eight declared. The Co Meath handler is responsible for newcomer Bear Cub, along with KEKE and Cross Border. There was just a short head between the selection and his stable companion when they finished second and third behind Smullen's Pride at Down Royal earlier this month. Coming from off the pace, Keke was a fast-finisher at the Maze venue and appears to be progressing with every run. Rathbranchurch is the biggest danger. Without a win in 15 starts, he has filled the runner-up spot three times and went down by just half-a-length on his penultimate outing in a competitive 21-runner affair at Navan. In first time cheekpieces, the aforementioned Cross Border should give a good account of himself, while Ferrari Desert is another capable of making his presence felt.

Edward Lynam holds a strong hand here, with KEKE, the mount of Colin Keane, taken to confirm his recent Down Royal superiority over stablemate Cross Border. Rathbranchurch also has the form to figure if on a going day.
Class & Speed Card

HIGHLAND SPRING has shown promise in both previous starts and, given how well those races have worked out subsequently, it would be no surprise to see the son of Dubawi get off the mark here. Alacrity is arguably the pick of the newcomers being a half-sister to the Group 1-placed Albaflora, although Involvement and Modern Times were both pricey purchases and they cannot be discounted. Game Management took a big step forward when runner-up at Thirsk on his second start, but Kevin Ryan's colt faces an even tougher test here.

It might be worth taking a chance on newcomer ALACRITY, who's a half-sister to the smart Albaflora. Highland Spring is just about the pick on form after 2 runs, while Involvement and Modern Times are a couple of other interesting newcomers who need watching in the market.

Not much to go on here but HIGHLAND SPRING sets a fair standard and is taken to beat the newcomers Alacrity and Involvement.
Class & Speed Card

LOOK DONT TOUCH is still searching for a first win of any description after beginning his career two and a half years ago but there have been encouraging signs of late. Runner-up in two of his last three starts over fences, he was narrowly beaten in a bunched finish on handicap debut at Wexford and stepping back up in trip should suit. He ran quite well on soft ground when making the frame over hurdles a couple of times last winter. Tempo Chapter Two has plenty of weight to carry on handicap debut but could outclass these rivals if jumping adequately. The top-weight, who ran respectably in last year's County Hurdle and has won on soft, has shaped reasonably well in three beginners' chases. Clever Currency bumped into an improver when second over hurdles at Down Royal last time and has some fair handicap chase form to his name.

LOOK DONT TOUCH has been in good order recently and he's fancied to go one better than when runner-up at Wexford 47 days ago. Clever Currency and Berliet Express could emerge as the main dangers.

Based on hurdles form, there must be a good chance that CLEVER CURRENCY can improve on his early-season chase form
Class & Speed Card

SPUTNIK was unlucky to encounter an upwardly mobile contender at Kelso when last seen and, having gone well fresh in the past, he could be difficult to overhaul if he picks up where he left off in May. A Place Apart has a couple of more recent outings under his belt and is another rated highly in this company, while Attitash has snippets of form that suggest he can at least make the travel over from Ireland worthwhile.

If SPUTNIK is the same form as when last seen in the spring he might prove the answer to this handicap chase. A Place Apart is second choice returned to the scene of his reappearance second. The fact Lucinda Russell has won this 3 times since 2018 also earns Thunder In Milan a place on the shortlist.

This can go to ATTITASH (nap), who was placed in a better chase than this at Downpatrick last month and copes well with slow ground.
Class & Speed Card

It's hard to see past MY PROSPERO, a top-class performer who ran well at the highest level before his half-length second in the Group 2 York Stakes last time. The son of Iffraaj now drops into Listed class and he should have too much for this field. The main threat appears to be King Of Conquest, who had Savvy Victory behind him when fourth in the Group 3 Rose Of Lancaster and he won't mind the forecast soft ground. Of the remainder, Rousay makes the most appeal after her fourth in the Upavon.

MY PROSPERO sets a lofty standard on his close third in last season's Champion Stakes and with the soft conditions here ideal he'll be hard to beat. Sierra Blanca boasts some solid 2-y-o Irish form and could have more to offer if ready to go for his new connections. The classy King of Conquest can't be dismissed.

My Prospero holds obvious form claims but SIERRA BLANCA is an interesting alternative and Bill Silvers is another to consider.
Class & Speed Card

TAWAAZON is well drawn to repeat his course and distance win from earlier in the season. Back in April, the James McAuley-trained gelding was smartly away and always raced prominently before quickening clear over a furlong out. A small field, on a tight track such as this, are ideal conditions for the five-year-old. Aloysius Lilius finished behind Dream Today at Laytown last time but had been a good winner at Tipperary in August. A former course and distance winner, the seven-year-old could be suited to strongly run race where he can sit in and deliver a late challenge. The aforementioned Dream Today was always to the fore when winning on the beach earlier this month, so should again be capable of playing a leading role.

DREAM TODAY is taken to build on his recent success on the beach at Laytown and strike again for Ado McGuinness. Aloysius Lilius has gained his last 3 wins when partnered by Colin Keane and he can shrug aside a couple of below-par efforts and provide the chief threat with the champion jockey back in the saddle.
Class & Speed Card

Having been turned over at odds of 1/25 in a match race at Ripon 22 days ago, DOOM isn't one for maximum faith. However, her rating of 82 sets the bar higher than most of the opposition have so far encountered and she is given the chance to atone for that shock defeat. Rising Bay is the obvious danger based on the official ratings, although Bustaam (third) may be able to turn around recent Carlisle form with Hills Of Gold (second), and he can also have a big say.

This can go the way of DOOM, who didn't do a great deal wrong when turned over at 1/25 in a match event at Ripon just over 3 weeks ago and William Haggas' filly is fancied to put her experience to good use. The main danger may emerge from Rising Bay, who was too free in a Newmarket handicap 3 months ago but should be in the mix here, while Hills of Gold and Bustaam can do battle for third spot.

The form pick here is DOOM, whose long odds-on defeat at Ripon may not look as much of a shock in time.
Class & Speed Card

Rachael Blackmore ventures north west for just one ride and POTTERS PARTY, who was expensive to follow over hurdles, can make her journey worthwhile. The Mahler gelding, fitted with a tongue-tie for this chasing debut, was a beaten favourite in all bar one of his five starts in maiden hurdles last term but was second to a decent horse in his only point-to-point and going back over the larger obstacles may see him in a better light. Hard Rain was an easy winner over hurdles at Limerick during the summer and has plenty of experience over fences. The eight-year-old has made the frame in three handicap chases and only found one too good at Killarney last month. Point-to-point winner Jenny Flex, a half-sister to smart chasing mare Scarlet And Dove, was disappointing over hurdles but showed more on chase debut when second at Downpatrick. The winner was lowly rated but Jack Kennedy's mount should be better for the experience.

POTTERS PARTY is the type to make a better chaser than hurdler and he's marginally preferred to fellow chasing debutant Deons Diamond, who is unexposed. Hard Rain is the pick of those with experience in this sphere.

Though expensive to follow over hurdles, POTTERS PARTY is tipped in the hope that the switch to chasing will do the trick
Class & Speed Card

Park Annonciade recorded a first success in a novice hurdle over C&D at the start of August and should prove competitive now entering handicaps off what looks a workable mark. However, it may be worth chancing the returning THEREISNODOUBT, who has posted several creditable efforts in defeat in stronger contests earlier this year. Representing the Gordon Elliott yard, Nottodaybobo is sure to prove popular and also merits consideration.

PARK ANNONCIADE isn't bombproof given how his form quickly tailed off in bumpers but he's made a good start over hurdles, scoring here last time, and is worth the benefit of the doubt on his handicap debut. Nottodaybobo is interesting back hurdling for Gordon Elliott, while Malangen, who scored for a fourth time here a fortnight ago, can go well again.

The Irish hold a strong hand here and handicap debutant PARK ANNONCIADE is taken to supplement last month's C&D novice win.
Class & Speed Card

LES BLEUS finished a respectable third in the Sweet Solera at Newmarket and performed just as well in Group 2 company since then. Richard Hughes' filly looks nicely treated by the conditions of this contest and a second success of the season could be in the offing. Adaay In Devon and Chic Colombine both secured hat-tricks on their latest appearances and must enter calculations, while the unexposed Local Arms could get involved too.

LES BLEUS has made the frame in Group 2s on her last 2 starts, including when fourth in the Prix du Calvados at Deauville under similar conditions, so is the solid option back down in class. Adaay In Devon and Chic Colombine are both bidding for 4-timers and also need considering on these terms.

It's worth giving another chance to GET JIGGY WITH IT, whose Glorious Goodwood effort has substance. Les Bleus is second choice.
Class & Speed Card

With trainer Gavin Cromwell having his team back in rude health, FINAL ORDERS looks poised to exploit a very lenient mark on the flat. A winner over course and distance in July, the seven-year-old added another success at this track when taking a handicap hurdle on his most recent start. A huge improver over fences last winter, the C M D Syndicate-owned gelding should be capable of winning races off 68. Little Jo had dropped a long ways in the handicap prior to showing a bit more when second at Galway last time. Given his strong ties with the Barney Curley yard over the years, Jamie Spencer looks a significant booking for the nine-year-old. Dark Miss is harder to evaluate on her handicap debut but with her stable amongst the winners recently the filly has to be considered.

FINAL ORDERS went up 9 lb for his course Flat win in July but he remains potentially very well treated in this sphere judged on his jumps ability and is the one to beat again. Jamie Spencer is a good booking for Little Jo and he's second choice ahead of Team of Firsts and Ross O'Sullivan's Beautiful Chaos.

It is hard to oppose high class chaser FINAL ORDERS who won off 59 here in July and should be well capable of coping with a 9lb penalty
Class & Speed Card

HIGHWAYGREY, who runs off 5lb lower than his last winning mark, seems worth chancing now he has adapted to racing in cheekpieces. Although he finished fifth of six over C&D eight days ago, he wasn't beaten far and, nudged down 1lb, his case for a return to form is only enhanced. Coincidentally, Havana Party chased home the selection in second the last time he was successful and, given that one's resurgent form, a repeat of that feat is feasible. Casilli and Strawman are others of note.

A few in with a squeak but preference is for STRAWMAN, who did well to get so close from a long way back in a modestly-run affair when runner-up at Thirsk earlier this month and Gemma Tutty's 6-y-o can notch a sixth career success. Casilli has tumbled in the weights this year and she could be the one to chase the selection home, with Pillar of Hope and Highwaygrey rounding off the shortlist.

Having dropped to a really good mark, and with the fast ground in his favour, HIGHWAYGREY is taken to get back to winning ways.

Having run her best race to date when runner-up at Wexford last time, PEPPEROCCO can get off the mark at the 15th attempt. The Ross O'Sullivan-trained mare kept on from two out in a manner that suggested she should appreciate stepping back up in trip here. Relatively lightly raced over fences, the six-year-old has scope for further improvement. Agirlcalledchloe, who has been largely consistent in recent starts, shouldn't be too far away. The daughter of Notnowcato has been running well enough to suggest she can get her head in front in one of these. Top-weight Room To Roam is another that wouldn't have to improve a great deal in order to make his presence felt in what is a moderate content. The John McConnell-trained gelding shaped well when fourth on his most recent outing at Downpatrick.

PEPPEROCCO has been given a chance by the handicapper and returned to form when runner-up at Wexford earlier this month. She gets the nod. Agirlcalledchloe and Out The Gap should also go well.

A second placing at Wexford at the beginning of the month suggests that PEPPEROCCO does not need to improve much in order to win here
Class & Speed Card

WASDELL DUNDALK has really got his act together over fences of late, as seen when completing a double over C&D earlier this month. The eight-year-old has displayed enough authority in those triumphs to suggest that he can complete a hat-trick at this higher level. Born Famous is sure to have her supporters after notching a sixth successive victory over hurdles here last month, while Lucinda Russell's Haute Estime has scope off her current mark.

WASDELL DUNDALK has looked rejuvenated lately and he gets the marginal vote as he bids for a quick-fire C&D hat-trick. The seven-timer seeking Born Famous is an obvious danger for all that she's left Iain Jardine since her latest success, and Haute Estime is likely to feature if tuned up for this first outing in five months.

Born Famous has been on the rampage but preference is for BODHISATTVA, who comes here after a good effort at Cartmel last month.
Class & Speed Card

Blazeon Five narrowly failed to make it three wins from her last four starts when a neck second over an extended 2m at Southwell a fortnight ago, but a further 2lb rise doesn't help as she drops in trip and preference is for the unexposed ALBANY. Ralph Beckett's filly accounted for a couple of subsequent winners when running away with a 1m2f novice contest at Windsor last month, shaping as though this longer distance could well suit, and a mark of 84 looks workable on her handicap bow. Royal Mila completes the shortlist.

ALBANY looked way ahead of her mark when landing the odds at Windsor last time and she's well capable of following up despite being hit hard by the handicapper. Blazeon Five is in good order and ranks as the main danger ahead of Royal Mila, who boasts a progressive profile and is still developing.

There should be more to come from ALBANY (nap), who looks one to follow in handicaps. Typewriter is second choice.
Class & Speed Card

ALALCANCE can get off the mark at the fourth time of asking having just failed to win over course and distance last month. On that occasion, the Jessica Harrington-trained filly ran on strongly inside the final furlong, only just missing out by a short head. Her proven ability to handle this tight track is a definite positive now she goes in search of redemption. Harsh also just lost out in a driving finish on his most recent start, weakening late on to finish third at Listowel last week. With the experience of five previous runs and a handicap rating of 82, the Joseph O'Brien-trained grey should be involved. Hey Whatever finished just in front of the latter at Listowel recently, so can also make her presence felt. Perhaps, first-time cheekpieces will make the difference for the Noel Meade-trained filly.

A thin maiden that can go to ALALCANCE, who went close in a stronger maiden here last month that has produced winners. Hey Whatever, Harsh and newcomer Collaborative complete the shortlist.

This could be the chance for HEY WHATEVER(nap) after her unlucky defeat at Listowel last week
Class & Speed Card

DUNSTAN improved from first to second start when runner-up over C&D last time out and he looks like the one to beat if building on that effort. Behind him on that occasion were No Mischief (third) and Hebridean Nomad (fourth), who are open to improvement also. High Point is another to consider, along with Ardara Rose, an intriguing newcomer for the Richard Hannon stable.

HEBRIDEAN NOMAD shaped best of the newcomers despite being given a sympathetic introduction when fourth over C&D 19 days ago and he can find the required improvement to beat Dunstan, who finished in front of him when second. High Point is worth another chance to confirm debut promise up in trip and is best of the others.

Ralph Beckett's DUNSTAN had a similar draw when running well behind a good rival over C&D 19 days ago.
Class & Speed Card

STONE OF DESTINY (second) had Lotus Rose (third) behind when putting in a very pleasing display to only go down by a neck over an extended 5f at Doncaster last time and the eight-year-old is able to contend off the same mark. Therefore, he could prove very hard to beat. Albegone justified his market support at Catterick, which made it two out of his last three, and he makes plenty of appeal in his current mood. Straits Of Moyle completes the shortlist.

STONE OF DESTINY has burned many a finger over the years but Michael Appleby's mercurial 8-y-o came agonisingly close to ending his 3-year losing streak at Doncaster last time and has to be worth chancing again in this kind of company. Albegone has proved resurgent of late and has competed well from higher marks in the past so can pose the biggest threat, with Lotus Rose also respected if able to build on her latest effort.

With his stable going well at present the 3yo CASTAN is taken to win for the first time this season.
Class & Speed Card

MR SAXOBEAT has a bit to find with the two horses above him on official ratings but the Thomas Gibney-trained gelding comes into the race in much better form that either of those. The seven-year-old won at Clonmel in June and has since finished runner-up twice. In between those second placings, he suffered an early fall at Galway but appears none the worse for that experience. Fighter Allen is arguably the best horse in this small field but the Willie Mullins-trained eight-year-old hasn't been in the greatest form of late. While he can be forgiven a moderate run, on testing ground, at Tramore last time, it is harder to overlook his earlier efforts. Course and distance winner The Little Yank makes a quick return after finishing sixth over hurdles at Listowel on Saturday.

This can go to LIEUTENANT HIGHWAY, who won convincingly at Roscommon in June before finding the company too hot at Galway. Fighter Allen has an unconvincing profile but will be dangerous if bringing his A game.

Ground concerns regarding Mr Saxobeat result in slight preference for the similarly-rated THE LITTLE YANK who likes it here
Class & Speed Card

Prince Nino appears to relish this track and trip having gained a second success at this venue earlier this month. A 5lb rise is unlikely to prevent Lizzie Quinlan's gelding from being in the mix once again. Preference, however, is for CONFELICITY, who was only worn down in the latter stages over 3m here latest. A drop in distance to 2m4f may prove just the tonic for the five-year-old, while Ultra Violet is another expected to have a say.

Preference is for PRINCE NINO, who had several of these rivals behind when scoring over C&D earlier this month and remains feasibly treated. Solway Molly and Brownstone head the list of dangers.

Irish-trained maiden BROWNSTONE ran a fair bit better than the bare form suggests on his recent stable debut and might be the answer.
Class & Speed Card

In an open event marginal preference is for the progressive MISS BLUEBELLE, who returned from a 90-day break to win over 1m2f at Bath last month. A 6lb rise for that success demands further improvement from the four-year-old, but she may well be up to defying the extra burden. Arthur's Realm is 1lb lower than when third in a valuable event at Chester last time and he edges out Chips And Rice and One Step Beyond to be best of the rest.

Plenty with chances in an open finale. It's possible WIND YOUR NECK IN was simply unsuited by the AW surface at Newcastle last time so the handicapper may have taken a chance dropping him 3 lb as he's now 6 lb lower than when runner-up at Bath earlier in the year and he goes well with ease in the ground. Miss Bluebelle, Arthur's Realm and Chips And Rice head the many possible dangers.

The visor/Buick angle gives ARTHUR'S REALM the percentage call in a fairly open finale. Second choice is Wind Your Neck In.
Class & Speed Card

HAPPY HADEDA came from off the pace to finish a highly encouraging second at Newbury last month and this looks like an ideal opportunity to go one better. Placed on each of her three career outings, Rawaasi must enter calculations, along with Gogo Yubari, who has the potential to improve for stepping up in trip. Newcomers Cuban Melody and Diamond Annie can also have a say in proceedings.

HAPPY HADEDA stepped up on debut when runner-up in a big field at Newbury and should have more to offer still given she finished with running left that day. Rawaasi is feared most if back to her Ascot form, with Cuban Melody a newcomer to note.

The standout candidate is HAPPY HADEDA. She chased home a useful rival at Newbury last time, so is preferred to Rawaasi.

Homer Stokes is seeking the hat-trick after recording a C&D double at Southwell recently and he is hard to ignore off a 4lb higher mark. However, the vote goes to KALGANOV, who was only denied by a short head at Ayr last week and he can compete off the same mark, which should put him bang there once again. Biplane filled the runner-up spot in the Leger Legends race at Doncaster last time and she is another to note.

KALGANOV has slipped a long way in the weights since joining David O'Meara's yard from France and he can go one better than when only narrowly denied by a well-ridden rival at Ayr last week. Kodebreaker appears to be gradually working his way back to form and can also get into the mix, with Homer Stokes, Asmund and Biplane others for the shortlist despite varyingly high draws.

CATHYS QUEST is an interesting debutant over fences having bolted up over hurdles on her most recent start at Kilbeggan. The Terence O'Brien-trained mare led after halfway in that contest, stretching clear of her rivals well before the second last. If in anywhere near that same form, the six-year-old could prove very hard to beat. He Fitz In was no match for Cathy's Quest on that occasion, well beaten back in fourth. However, the Davy Fitzgerald-trained gelding franked the form when scoring narrowly at Navan on his next outing. Having already been given a handicap mark over fences, the seven-year-old is much better off with his Kilbeggan conqueror here but still faces a stiff task. Course and distance winner Father Jed remains of interest having won at Ballinrobe earlier in the campaign.

CATHYS QUEST responded well to score over hurdles at Kilbeggan recently and, if she takes to chasing at the first attempt, she should be able to supplement that success in what appears a weak race on paper. He Fitz In, also a winner over hurdles last time, is respected for all that his record over the larger obstacles isn't particularly convincing.

An emphatic handicap hurdle winner at Kilbeggan CATHYS QUEST (nap) can be fancied to make an immediate impact over fences

DEEP BLUE is better judged on her debut effort at Leicester where she wasn't beaten far over this distance having appeared to take a backwards step at Southwell. She gets the vote at the expense of Tayala, who has shown promise on both career outings at Goodwood and Newbury. Representing a yard among the winners of late, Princess Alice must be monitored for market support on debut.

TAYALA took a step forward from debut when third at Goodwood and should be up to winning one of these. Ghaihaban, in particular, and Princess Alice are interesting newcomers, however.

Ghaihaban, Cervaro Della Sala and Princess Alice are interesting newcomers but TAYALA is taken to confirm her turf promise.

MATHEMATICIAN continued his fine form to only be denied by a short head in a class 4 event at York last time and he was only raised 2lb for that effort. The Roger Varian inmate looks well placed to make it two out of his last three. Outgun filled the runner-up spot at Newmarket on his latest outing and would be foolish to dismiss off a 1lb higher rating, while Daarree could also have a say after his third at Chepstow.

COCO ROYALE caught the eye when fourth at Goodwood on her third start, faring best of those held up in a modestly-run affair, so she can take a step forward as she makes her handicap debut. William Haggas' filly is taken to see of the challenge of Outgun, who has been running well in handicaps this year, while Mathematician also enters calulations.

Preference is for OUTGUN (nap), who is going the right way and can take another step forward now up again in trip.

HUMANITY makes his handicap bow for the John and Thady Gosden yard after scoring by just over three lengths at Lingfield to shed his maiden tag. The son of Roaring Lion could be well up to defying his opening rating of 82. Nader King ran too bad to be true at Goodwood last time, but he remains of interest in a first-time tongue tie. Maso Bastie improved in a first-time visor to finish second over C&D last month and is another in the mix.

A three-time winner this year, SOVEREIGN SPIRIT was possibly unsuited by soft ground at Goodwood a month ago, so he is worth forgiving his latest effort as he returns to the all-weather. He can bounce back to land a third career success on polytrack, though Humanity is respected as he makes his handicap debut, with Mantoog completing the shortlist.

Some have flagged of late but a chance is taken that SOVEREIGN SPIRIT can confirm his AW potential back on Polytrack.

KING CABO has hit the crossbar the last twice, including over a mile around here when six lengths clear of the third, and he goes off the same mark for the Luke Dace yard. The son of Carpe Diem can gain a well-deserved third career success. The main threat is Wall Game, who got off the mark in June at Lingfield, while Secret Moment isn't entirely ruled out either.

Course-winner KING CABO ran a cracker here last week and is able to race off the same mark. He is taken to return to winning ways. Rich Rhythm and Alpha Zulu are also of interest.

This is very open. KING CABO scores highly on the consistency front and on a different day he could easily have won here last week.

Embarked likely has more mileage off his current rating, but he doesn't appear the most straightforward and may be worth taking on in this contest. DONE DECISION ticks plenty of boxes, having finished a respectable third over 6f on his handicap debut at Salisbury earlier this month. The Tom Ward-trained gelding is bred to relish the extra furlong here and improvement looks on the cards. Fiscal Policy has a handy draw in stall two and is another who might unlock some potential now upped in trip.

FISCAL POLICY remains in form and 7f should suit, so he's worth chancing back under Richard Kingscote who has gone well twice on him at Kempton. Stuart Williams runs an interesting well-handicapped pair and the betting could be interesting with Blue Flame in first-time cheekpieces and Got No Dollars a previous C&D winner. 3-y-o Labiqa is another to note.

A lot of these are either modest or out of form. LABIQA ran her best race yet when sent to Ayr for her handicap debut.

OVERSTATE failed to make an impression over hurdles this year when under the tutelage of Stuart Edmunds, but he holds leading claims on his C&D triumph in February and is fancied to get back on track off a 5lb higher mark. Berkshire Sundance has displayed enough ability to suggest that the three-year-old can land a race of this nature. The son of Decorated Knight is feared most if breaking better, with the in-form Doublethetrouble completing the shortlist.

With headgear reapplied and returned to a staying trip, DOUBLETHETROUBLE produced his best effort of the season when runner-up at Southwell 3 weeks ago and he could be ready to get off the mark this time around. Overstate won at this C&D on his only previous start on the Flat this year and is feared most, ahead of Wannabe Brave.

The return to this C&D can see improvement from BERKSHIRE SUNDANCE who looked a stout stayer over C&D two runs ago.
