SUSIESPARKLE made a flying start for Iain Jardine and so nearly followed up that Thirsk triumph when touched off at Hamilton last weekend. Even under her penalty, she is 1lb well-in compared to her revised rating and can take full advantage. Laudable's winning spree came to an end at Musselburgh, but he lost absolutely nothing in defeat and remains dangerous. Sonnet Star chased home an ultra-progressive rival at Ffos Las, while conditions are in Bushfire's favour.

Back on testing ground a chance is taken on KAMANIKA who is fresh for this stage of the season and ran a lot better than her tenth place at Goodwood last time might suggest. Thriving pair Laudable and Susiesparkle may give Joseph Parr's charge most to think about.

A soft-ground win for LAUDABLE two starts back gives plenty of encouragement and he also ran well in defeat last time.

Punters will need to be in a forgiving mood to side with SPIRITUAL, but it may pay to do so. She was too keen for her own good when fading into fourth close home over a mile at Sandown most recently, but the form of her victory over the same C&D in July has a strong look to it. With that effort in mind, she gets the vote to stamp her authority on this trappy-looking contest from the front. Sirona got back on track with a solid second over a mile at Longchamp recently and looks the pick of the remainder, while the progressive Fair Point also catches the eye.

SIRONA gave best only to a similarly rejuvenated type when runner-up in listed company at Longchamp (1m) 26 days ago and the balance of this season's efforts give her sound claims kept to this level. Spiritual holds sound claims on these terms and she's feared, whilst another 3-y-o, Rolica, likely has a bigger effort in her locker.

The excellent record of 3yos in this race heightens interest in ROLICA, who has good Newmarket form, and the improving Fair Point.
Class & Speed Card

MOODOFTHEMOMENT improved from his return to fences when beaten a neck over C&D earlier in the month and the seven-year-old is capable of handling a 5lb rise in his bid to go one better. Mary went close on her trip across the Irish Sea at Downpatrick last week and she commands respect on her chasing bow. Others to consider are Delpotro and Tonto Foley.

Plenty with chances but at the likely odds it is worth siding with Charlie Longsdon's new recruit DELPOTRO, who was twice a winner in France in the summer and starts here on a handy-looking mark. Dan Skelton's Omaha Wish looks to have more to offer now reverted to fences and rates the main danger, with Mutual Respect, Redbridge Rambler and Lermoos Legend also in the picture.

Top of the list is four-time point winner MOODOFTHEMOMENT (nap), who ran well in defeat on his first two starts for Matt Sheppard.
Class & Speed Card

Although yet to get his head in front in seven career starts to date, IRISH PANTHER undoubtedly has the ability to win races. The Edward O'Grady-trained gelding finished runner-up on his only point-to-point outing, before reaching the frame on all three bumper starts. Having done likewise over hurdles, the seven-year-old gives the impression that it is only a matter of time before he makes the breakthrough. Stormbreaker, who won twice on the Flat when trained in Britain, is entitled to come on from his recent hurdling debut. Although the Willie Mullins-trained five-year-old finished second, he should be capable of better. Stablemate Mr Escobar boasts a similar profile, having shaped with promise on his penultimate start.

STORMBREAKER chased home a pretty useful type in Intense Approach (winner again since) on debut in this sphere at Downpatrick and, with the promise of better to come, he earns the vote ahead of Irish Panther, who sets the standard but he was below par at Killarney when last seen in May and is becoming expensive to follow. The selection's stablemate Mr Escobar is best of the rest.

MR ESCOBAR ran out when last seen over timber but shaped with promise previously and arrives on the back of a big Flat run

Ryka found the Prestige Stakes at Goodwood too hot to handle and the Thirsk winner will be much happier here. She will do well to successfully concede 7lb to STORM LADY, though, with Richard Fahey's filly finishing a very encouraging third behind the exciting Formal on her introduction at Leicester, proving she handles testing conditions in the process. Supermodel cost 150,000gns as a yearling, with Siena's Star only slightly cheaper, and both newcomers have to enter the equation.

STORM LADY shaped well when a debut third at Leicester and with a fair bit of progress on the cards she looks the way to go ahead of well-bred newcomers Siena's Star and Supermodel. Ryka is another who can have a say now she is returned to calmer waters here.

An interesting race in which the vote goes to STORM LADY, who showed plenty of promise with her debut third at Leicester 17 days ago.
Class & Speed Card

MISTRAL STAR was far from disgraced when finishing fourth in a classy renewal of the Yorkshire Oaks over this trip last month and, with her sights lowered, the daughter of Frankel may be the one to side with. Time Lock gave best to two stronger stayers when finishing third in a Group 2 over 1m4f on the July course here last time and she looks the main danger to the selection, especially if the application of a first-time tongue-tie has the desired effect. The unexposed Place Of Safety is respected most out of the remainder.

The vote goes to TIME LOCK, who sets the standard judged on her impressive win in this race 12 months ago. Mistral Star has a progressive profile and warrants plenty of respect back at a more suitable level, with 3-y-o Place of Safety also of interest with further improvement on the cards.

Time Lock, Place Of Safety and Mistral Star are shortlisted but testing ground could swing it in favour of SEA OF ROSES.
Class & Speed Card

HOMETOWN BOY gained his first success over the larger obstacles here in June with an authoritative display. The nine-year-old jumped well on the whole and he can put that experience to best use. Coco Mademoiselle was a useful hurdler last season and she may prove to be the main threat on her first attempt over fences, while a change of scenery may have benefited Weveallbeencaught.

HOMETOWN BOY jumped accurately when recording a fluent success in a C&D handicap three months ago and, if he can reproduce that, he should have enough to follow up. An Tailliur can make his presence felt if learning from his chasing debut and Coco Mademoiselle is an interesting chasing debutant.

The most obvious answer is HOMETOWN BOY, who dominated a C&D handicap on his latest outing three months ago.
Class & Speed Card

An eye-catching fifth on the Flat at the Curragh last time, HELVIC DREAM should be spot on for this return to hurdling. The Noel Meade-trained seven-year-old looks very well handicapped off a mark of 127, having also attained a triple digit rating on the level. At home with an ease in the ground, the recent rain will have been very welcome to connections of the gelding. Veteran Lord Erskine has been in fine form all year despite his advancing years. Winner of a Listed handicap hurdle at the Dublin Racing Festival, the 11-year-old showed up well on two runs at Galway. Last year's winner Man O Work is now 6lb higher in the ratings but has been lightly raced in recent times. A repeat bid has almost certainly been his primary objective.

Unexposed 5-y-os TOUNSIVATOR and Frankendael both make plenty of appeal. Preference is for the former, who went close in a Galway handicap on his penultimate start prior to coasting home in a Kilbeggan novice. Man O Work will be a threat if he puts his best foot forward, while Sherodan, who should be all the better for last month's reappearance spin on the Flat, is also accorded respect.

This looks competitive but THE DASHER CONWAY still looks well treated, despite a 4lb rise for an unlucky defeat at Kilbeggan recently
Class & Speed Card

Top Bins chased home a couple of juveniles with previous experience when making a promising start to his career at Chester and he can build on that. He does come up against some interesting first-timers, including his stablemate Sweet Fantastic, but Nineteen Fourtytwo and NARDRA both catch the eye. The latter is a 440,000gns Night Of Thunder half-sister to Group 3 winner Make Me King and the 5lb she receives from her Karl Burke-trained rival - a 140,000gns breeze-up purchase - could prove crucial.

The market should reveal plenty here but William Haggas' Night of Thunder filly NARDRA fetched 440,000 guineas as a yearling so gets the vote from fellow newcomer Nineteen Fourtytwo. Hugo Palmer's duo Sweet Fantastic and Top Bins also need considering in this intriguing novice.

Preference is for the William Haggas-trained newcomer NARDRA, who has a striking pedigree and cost 440,000gns as a yearling.
Class & Speed Card

BUBBLING would have finished closer to the eventual winner if granted a clear passage when a never-nearer third in a Leopardstown Listed race recently and, provided the cards fall right for her here, this progressive daughter of No Nay Never looks well capable of plundering Group 2 honours. Formal has notched up two wins from as many career starts this season and she can give the selection most to think about, while this step up in trip may see Definitive in a better light.

Sir Michael Stoute's FORMAL has looked a fine prospect when impressively landng lesser events at Newbury and Leciester so is fancied to take this step up in class in her stride and retain her unbeaten record. Aidan O'Brien's duo Ecstatic and Bubbling have better days ahead of them too and can chase home the selection in that order.

Highly promising FORMAL is taken to give the soon-retiring Sir Michael Stoute a fourth Rockfel win. Duty First is second choice.
Class & Speed Card

POTTERS CHARM showed he has a big engine when landing a Ffos Las bumper at the end of March and the five-year-old is expected to make a winning start to life over hurdles, especially with a step up in distance in his favour. Micronormous shaped as though dropping back in trip would play to her strengths when travelling well here over 2m7f last time. Typhoon Flyer, Chancycourt and Zmiinyi are others for the shortlist.

POTTERS CHARM barely had to come off the bridle and looked a very good prospect when making a winning bumper debut at Ffos Las 6 months ago. He's very much of interest now hurdling with his yard in excellent form. Fellow hurdles debutant Gwennie May Star, Typhoon Flyer and Micronormous can emerge as the chief threats.

Impressive Ffos Las bumper winner POTTERS CHARM should find trip and track to suit. Micronormous is next most fancied.
Class & Speed Card

A dual winner on the Flat, the Tony Mullins-trained OAKLEY can register a first success over hurdles. Having shown a hint of ability in his qualifying runs, the six-year-old was sent off a well backed 7/2f on his handicap debut at Tipperary in May. Leading after three out, a bad mistake at the penultimate flight saw him lose all chance. Despite that, the son of Protectionist kept on to finish a respectable fifth. With a better round of jumping, the gelding should have too much class for this grade. Twice successful over hurdles this season, Flashthelights has to be of interest for trainer Noel Kelly. The eight-year-old makes the long trek down from County Derry so is clearly fancied by connections. The locally-trained Tipp For Mac has yet to win a race but is a consistent horse who should at least reach the frame.

Unsurprisingly plenty arrive with claims including the returning OAKLEY. He showed much more than previously in this sphere and shaped better than the bare result to boot when fifth on handicap debut at Tipperary in May and he could be worth chancing back from a break with the prospect of more to come. Benjis Benefit is much better than his latest effort suggests and is feared. Impero and Flashthelights complete the shortlist.

A drop in trip on rain-softened ground could be the answer for JUNOT who hasn't had his preferred conditions in recent starts
Class & Speed Card

KING OF LIGHT arrives here 8lb well-in following his fourth in a Listed contest at Ayr last Friday. The only question mark for the son of Mehmas would be the ground, but his dam is a half-sister to a Group 3 winner on a soft surface which offers hope that conditions are unlikely to inconvenience him. Nad Alshiba Green has won twice in nursery company and may well have more to offer, while dropping in class will help Francisco's Piece.

With slow ground forecast NAD ALSHIBA GREEN and King of Light both have a little bit to prove but their claims are otherwise strong. The latter got the better of La Bellota (recently just touched off in Group 2 company) at Musselburgh last month and is due to go up 8 lb following his improved effort in a listed race last week. He is not passed over lightly but preference is for Nad Alshiba Green, who did the job well at Sandown last time and may have more to offer. Teej A is best of the rest.

King Of Light is 8lb well-in but he's unproven on soft ground, whereas these conditions are ideal for FRANCISCO'S PIECE.
Class & Speed Card

Ice Max cosily took care of Poker Face (second) when securing the Celebration Mile at Goodwood last month and considering the manner of that victory, he is expected to confirm the form. However, they both might up against it with LEAD ARTIST, who was only denied by the smart Kinross in the Group 2 Park Stakes at Doncaster earlier in the month and the step back up in distance should suit. The son of Dubawi continues to improve and he can record his third career victory.

LEAD ARTIST will be suited by the return to 1m and can go one better than in similar company at the Doncaster St Leger meeting. Prague shaped well tackling 1m for the first time at Haydock earlier this month and may provide the main threat. Celebration Mile winner Ice Max would also firmly enter the reckoning should the ground turn soft.

In a tight renewal a chance is taken on TASK FORCE who tends to finish his races out strongly and he could improve on softening ground.
Class & Speed Card

SEEYOUINMYDREAMS has proved a different proposition since undergoing a wind procedure in November, with dominant displays at Fakenham and at this venue since. Paul Nicholls' mare makes her handicap debut off what looks a lenient mark and she may land the spoils in a competitive affair. The Willie Mullins-trained Fine Margin is sure to have his supporters in his quest to land a four-timer, while Mostly Sunny is a potential improver up in distance.

This looks competitive with several progressive types on show. FLYING FORTUNE has looked good at Market Rasen and this course the last twice, and she could be the answer with further progress likely. Ebony Warrior is taken to reverse last month's C&D placings with the selection's stablemate Letterston Lily and emerge as the main danger, while Mostly Sunny should go well now upped in trip and Bob Bob Ricard, who was left with too much to do when second to Fine Margin here, are others to consider.

Emmet Mullins' BACKMERSACKME held his own in a Grade 1 on his hurdling debut and is selected ahead of Fine Margin.
Class & Speed Card

Recent Galway runner-up HEES DYNAMITE can go one better in this similar grade. Perhaps unlucky to bump into a well handicapped rival at the western track, the Eric McNamara-trained gelding holds leading claims here. Jockey Sean Flanagan looks a significant booking for a stable that tend to target this meeting. West Clare, another that had to settle for minor honours at Ballybrit last month, should also be involved for Brian McMahon. The Leading Light gelding was only just touched off when sent off favourite under Richie Deegan. Locally trained Spavango, who shaped well in decent maidens over the winter, should find this somewhat easier. Eoin McCarthy is sure to have had this meeting in mind for the gelding for some time.

The vote goes to RANGER BILLY, who found just one too good at Ballinrobe last time and he remains on a workable mark up 2 lb. Hees Dynamite is 0-11 overall but was also runner-up on his latest start at Galway and will be a danger to all if able to build on that. West Clare went down all guns blazing when touched off by the re-opposing Oskar High last time and is taken to get the better of that rival on these revised terms. Granda George is one to keep an eye on now handicapping.

A chance is taken on HEES DYNAMITE, who probably hit the front too soon when runner-up over this trip at Galway
Class & Speed Card

SAM HAWKENS wasn't at all disgraced when fourth at the Shergar Cup last month and the son of Galileo makes plenty of appeal with underfoot conditions promising to suit him. A winner on heavy ground at Salisbury, all of his subsequent efforts have come on much livelier surfaces so there is every chance he may step up. Calvert and Minstrel Knight appeal most of the remainder.

There isn't much between all seven of these and the vote goes to SAM HAWKENS, who wasn't seen to best effect when fourth on debut for new connections at Ascot and the combination of this step up in trip and slower ground will make this is a far more favourable scenario for the Galileo colt. Hot Fuss is unproven beyond 1¼m but shapes as though he'll stay, while Minstrel Knight will almost certainly benefit from this stiffer test and he is also feared, along with Filibustering.

Strength in stamina may see FILIBUSTERING (nap) home in front, after the traffic problems he encountered over C&D three weeks ago.
Class & Speed Card

Seaplane has shown plenty of ability in both of his starts to date, with his latest effort when runner-up at Ascot possibly the strongest piece of form on offer. However, a chance can be taken on newcomer SECRET THEORY, who is the choice of William Buick from the Godolphin pair in this contest and he is related to plenty of Group winners. The son of Dubawi goes for the in-form Charlie Appleby stable and it would be no surprise to see him make an immediate impact. Archivist completes the shoirtlist.

An interesting race in which the market could prove informative, particularly regarding the Godolphin newcomers. SEAPLANE shaped well when second at Ascot recently and gets the nod with further progress likely. Frankini wasn't too far behind the selection at Ascot and is second choice ahead of Archivist before any betting clues are known.

With further progress on the cards, ARCHIVIST is preferred. Interesting newcomer Secret Theory is second choice.
Class & Speed Card

ENCLOSURE is related to several winners, notably Group 1-winning miler Integral, and shaped as though she wanted further when not beaten too far into sixth over 7f here on debut. With that experience under her belt and a longer trip, Sir Michael Stoute's filly is narrowly preferred to Hock Eye The Noo, who did well to be beaten just over a length after a troubled start over 7f first time out and also has scope for plenty of improvement. Zizi looks best of the rest.

Preference is for ENCLOSURE, who shaped as if in need of the experience when sixth here last month and Sir Michael Stoute's filly is entitled to progress from that initial effort. Hock Eye The Noo pulled clear of the remainder when third at Lingfield first time up last month so she can give the selection most to think about, with Zizi and debutante Advertorial another couple worth considering, too.

Few with compelling claims. ZIZI can improve for the new trip and she's preferred to Enclosure and Hock Eye The Noo.
Class & Speed Card

A rise in distance inspired a career-best performance from EARTH CRY over an extended 2m5f at Fontwell and this extra yardage could improve him even further. Although an 8lb rise in the ratings demands more from the six-year-old, a fourth victory since June could be on the cards. The biggest threat may emerge from Tiger Jet, who made a successful stable debut at Cartmel last month. Fame And Fun is also worth a second look now reverting to hurdles.

The obvious one here is the progressive EARTH CRY who is taken to defy the handicapper again with the Neil Mulholland stable continuing in good form. Made For You has had a solid spell on the Flat and over hurdles this summer and is second choice ahead of Cartmel-scorer Tiger Jet.

Edging down the weights and hinting at the need for a stayers' trip last time, LUTINEBELLA gets the nod over Made For You.
Class & Speed Card

Winner of this corresponding race in 2022, TEMPTATIONINMILAN can record another success for trainer Charles Byrnes. The Milan gelding missed last year's renewal as he was later returning to training. However, having won off a mark of 112 last February, the eight-year-old doesn't look badly treated here off 4lb lower here. Ballinrobe runner-up Cahirdown Boy is sure to have been primed for this local meeting. However, the Eric McNamara-trained gelding has shown his best form on quicker ground so wouldn't want conditions to deteriorate further. Marelly has yet to show any worthwhile form over fences but is nicely handicapped on his best form over hurdles. With soft ground very much in his favour, the Philip Rothwell-trained gelding has to be a contender.

GAELIC DES CHASTYS has made a promising start to chasing and, having found one too good again at Roscommon last time, he's fancied to open his acccount in this sphere. Cahirdown Boy and Farrokh, also runners-up last time, should also be involved.

EVERYSTEP OFTHEWAY should get a lovely toe into the race as he sits in behind the likely front-runner and gets the vote
Class & Speed Card

GIVEMEFIVE made a fine transition to hurdling last winter by winning twice in juvenile hurdles before going close to landing a Grade 2 in the Adonis at Kempton. The four-year-old was last seen on the Flat winning at Roscommon last September and could prove to be ahead of the handicapper. Hurtle Wallop may benefit from first-time cheekpieces and is respected along with Arctic Fox.

Judged on his exploits over hurdles last winter (useful form) GIVEMEFIVE could well be on a lenient mark returned to the level and he gets the narrow vote over last year's winner Billy No Mates, who suggested his turn isn't far away over C&D last time. Surrey Belle may emerge best of the others.

Billy No Mates bids to win this for the third time but GIVEMEFIVE could prove too hot to handle. Hurtle Wallop is shortlisted.
Class & Speed Card

The Michael Halford and Tracey Collins-trained ATEENOSIX holds leading claims at these weights. Third in a maiden at this track last time, the gelding has upwards of 9lb in hand of his rivals in this contest. Ace In The Pack will need to step up on his two most recent starts but the Kevin Prendergast-trained gelding was placed over a sprint trip earlier in the season. In a race that doesn't look as if it will take much winning, he holds every chance. Adam's Boy could be the potential improver in the line-up. A staying-on fifth at Cork last time, the four-year-old retains the blinkers that seemed to bring about some progression. While he has a bit to find with the principals, it would be no surprise to see him reach the frame at the very least.

A repeat of the level ATEENOSIX has shown on all 4 starts here this year will likely be enough to see her get off the mark. Hezahunk is another with some decent course form and is second choice ahead of Ace In The Pack.

The top rated ATEENOSIX (nap) is well treated by the conditions of the race and this looks a good opportunity for him.
Class & Speed Card

Unbeaten three-year-old MILITARY ACADEMY has shaped like a smart prospect in both victories to date and he looks ready to score at Listed level. The son of Fastnet Rock made all in ready fashion over 1m2f at Salisbury earlier in the month and this 1m4f distance should hold no fears. Having landed Haydock's Old Borough Cup over 1m6f, Epic Poet certainly won't be lacking for stamina down in trip and he's feared most, ahead of Aimeric.

Having been shaping up well, EPIC POET proved better than ever when battling well for success at Haydock last time, so he looks well worth his place back in this higher grade. He is taken to get the better of Military Academy, who is respected as he bids to maintain his unbeaten record, while Aimeric can also make his presence felt.

The solid option looks to be AIMERIC (nap), although Military Academy has to be feared and Epic Poet is also in calculations.
Class & Speed Card

William Haggas has his string in fine form at present and he has a good chance here with GULTARI, who missed out on a 6f Yarmouth double by the narrowest of margins off this mark last week. Another bold bid is anticipated, but the same can be said of Daytona Lady, who also finished a close second in a similar event at Chelmsford last time and she's a previous C&D scorer. A 7f winner on debut at Lingfield before a fair effort in defeat at Catterick when dropped to this trip latest, Brazilian Rose should appreciate a return to the all-weather.

GULTARI once again displayed plenty of willingness in battle when going down by a nostril at Yarmouth 9 days ago and William Haggas' filly can regain the winning thread at the expense of Brazilian Rose, who couldn't advance her debut winning form at Catterick earlier this month but still ran quite well in third. Daytona Lady can edge out Ormolulu for third.

Brazilian Rose could be ahead of her mark and is feared but GULTARI is a sprinter on the up and she gets the nod.
Class & Speed Card

It may be worth chancing DOG FOX has been freshened up by a 64-day layoff. The four-year-old ran out a ready winner on his penultimate start at Bangor and he might be able to put his short-odds defeat when fifth over C&D last time behind him. Handicap debutant Dunbulcan Bay is respected, along with the unexposed Cavern Club, who was useful on the Flat.

DOG FOX was strong in the betting on the back of his Bangor victory and compromised his chance of following up with a bad mistake last when fifth behind re-opposing Byzantine Empire over C&D back in July. He's worth another chance to prove his revised mark is workable. Cavern Club appeals as the type who can make his mark now handicapping in this sphere and is a definite threat. Low-mileage Dunbulcan Bay, on handicap debut for Dan Skelton, is another in the mix.

Settling better again might seal this for CAVERN CLUB on handicap debut, ahead of Dunbulcan Bay. Neither may mind rain.
Class & Speed Card

Having yet to strike from five attempts over hurdles, reverting to the Flat could see OMNISCIENT return to winning ways. A dual winner for Sir Mark Prescott, the five-year-old has been less than fluent since switching his attention to jumping. Without any obstacles in his path on this occasion, the gelding looks to have strong claims. Killarney winner Seddon faces a stiffer task over this shorter trip but given the manner of his success last time the John McConnell-trained veteran commands maximum respect. Former German winner Weston has yet to get his head in front in this country but shaped with promise when fourth for current connections at Navan in May. The gelding had excuses when badly hampered at Galway on his latest start.

JETARA has proven most likeable and progressive over hurdles and, getting weight from most, she's worth a chance to make a winning Flat debut at the possible expense of Weston, who sets the standard and has an excuse for his latest outing. Seddon is also of interest.

Preference is for WESTON (nap). He had an excuse latest, he has won on soft ground and a repeat of his Navan run in May could suffice.
Class & Speed Card

More aggressive tactics paid dividends for Lexington Belle latest as she made all at Newbury. A 4lb higher mark shouldn't prevent another bold bid, but fellow last-time-out winner MEDIA SHOOTER edges the vote. The application of first-time cheekpieces worked the oracle for the son of Advertise at Musselburgh and he looks capable of shrugging off a 7lb rise. Yanifer is also noted dropping in class.

QUEST FOR FUN looks back to his best and is on a fair mark, so he's taken to get the better of last-time-out winners Lexington Belle and King's Vanity, who may take each other on for the lead.

A competitive race in which the vote goes to LEXINGTON BELLE, who was as good as ever with her win on soft at Newbury last time.
Class & Speed Card

Recent Fairyhouse runner-up I'M SPARTACUS catches the eye on his first visit to Dundalk. Twice a winner on the all-weather when trained in Britain, the Ado McGuinness-trained three-year-old has run some solid races on turf since joining current connections. It would be no surprise to see further improvement now that he makes his first start on the Polytrack in this country. Collective Power, who is 5lb lower than when winning over C&D in February, holds leading claims under Sorcha Woods. Having gone close in a similar grade at Navan earlier this month, the six-year-old looks to be finding his form. Revenite has to be respected on just his second start in this country. Third at Laytown on his Irish debut, the four-year-old had some decent sprint form in Britain.

I'M SPARTACUS is taken to build on his fine second at Fairyhouse earlier in the week and strike for Ado McGuinness. Collective Power is respected back at a venue which suits. Matthew Smith's Eruption also makes the shortlist.

Just denied in a blanket finish at Navan last week, COLLECTIVE POWER is off the same mark today and can claim his fifth course win.
Class & Speed Card

Having found only a subsequent winner too strong on his handicap bow at Chester in July, MORE THUNDER could gain compensation today. Sir Michael Stoute's charge races off an unchanged mark and he likely has more to offer after only four starts. Shamran opened his account in a Salisbury novice contest in late August and a handicap mark of 82 looks workable. The son of Kingman is unlikely to be far away, while Siempre Arturo may have been freshened up by a 64-day break.

Chances can be given to plenty, but the suggestion is MAGNUM OPUS, who shaped as if still in good form when fifth at Doncaster just under a fortnight ago and Simon & Ed Crisford's 3-y-o likely has a bigger effort in his locker. More Thunder progressed another chunk when runner-up at Chester a couple of months ago, so he can provide most resistance to the selection, with Westridge and Gloucestershire another couple worth considering, too.

Judged on his latest effort, MORE THUNDER holds particularly strong claims. Westridge, a similar type, is feared most.
Class & Speed Card

Sir Laurence Graff ended a long drought when scoring off a career-low mark at Lingfield, but he has gone up 4lb for that success and he isn't guaranteed to back it up. Of more appeal is STORM ASSET, who has gone up 1lb for finishing runner-up over this C&D last time but remains 4lb below his last winning mark and has two course victories to his name (one over this trip). Flying Panther is another to note.

SIR LAURENCE GRAFF finally took advantage of a much-reduced mark at Lingfield earlier this month and in a race unlikely to take much winning, Chelsea Banham's 4-y-o can follow up at the expense of High Court Judge, who ran too badly to be true having been well supported over C&D just over 3 weeks ago. Flying Panther and Storm Asset can fight out minor honours.

Flying Panther, Storm Asset and SIR LAURENCE GRAFF appeal most. The selection had something to spare at Lingfield last time.
Class & Speed Card

Gavin Cromwell introduces a well-bred newcomer in the shape of EMILY'S LIGHT. A half-sister to a Grade 1-placed horse in the US, the daughter of Diamond Boy is an intriguing debutant and a bold bid is expected. Runner-up on her first three starts, the Shark Hanlon-trained Pure Logic disappointed at Killarney last time. Although having something to prove now, the four-year-old sets the standard amongst those that have raced. Amboyna has shown promise in her three starts and is another to consider.

AMEN KATE is both out of and half-sister to dual bumper winners and, with Patrick Mullins booked for her debut, she makes most appeal in what looks quite an open event on paper. Fellow newcomer Emily's Light merits respect and Pure Logic looks the pick of those with experience.

The most likely debutante is Gavin Cromwell's EMILY'S LIGHT, who is related to plenty of winners and the stable do well in this sphere
Class & Speed Card

FLIGHT RADAR hasn't looked back since his debut fourth at this venue in July, with ready victories at Redcar and Catterick since. An opening mark of 82 looks more than workable for Karl Burke's charge and a hat-trick could be on the cards. Fellow progressive three-year-old Myal also chases a third consecutive triumph and he may put up most resistance to the selection, ahead of Lord Bertie.

LORD BERTIE has been given a chance with his mark given he looked back to his best when scoring at Ascot recently and he may well be able to capitalise under conditions that look ideal. Unexposed pair Flight Radar and Myal are both obvious threats.

Several have possibilities but the two at the top of the list are the 3yo hat-trick seekers Flight Radar and MYAL.
Class & Speed Card

SAY YES TO DREAMS can shed her maiden tag at the fourth time of asking. The Donnacha O'Brien-trained filly made a promising racecourse debut when runner-up at Naas in June. Connections clearly felt she warranted a run in a Listed race back at that same venue the following month and while she failed to get competitive, the daughter of Siyouni was far from disgraced. The form of her recent second placing, also at Naas, has been well advertised by both the third and fourth subsequently. Varner boasts a similar profile, shaping with promise in two maidens but finding the company too hot once stepped up to Group races. This represents her best chance to date. Fillies' Mile entrant Head To Head looks the pick of the two unraced Aidan O'Brien-trained representatives.

Aidan O'Brien saddles two potentially interesting debutantes in the shape of HEAD TO HEAD and Dramatic with preference for the former who is partnered by Wayne Lordan. Say Yes To Dreams and Varner rate much the pick of those with experience and can also have a say.

There was a lot to like about how HOLLYS GRACES travelled through her barrier trial and she is a speculative selection on debut.

Mesaafi produced a fair effort to make the frame over 6f at Kempton and the step back up in trip shouldn't pose him any problems, so he is one to note. However, DUTCH KINGDOM looks the way to go. Darryll Holland's four-year-old struck in convincing style in this grade at Chelmsford eight days ago and he should prove hard to beat in his follow-up bid, despite carrying a 5lb penalty. The Bitter Moose is another to note in a first-time visor.

DUTCH KINGDOM quickened clear in good style at Chelmsford last week and is the percentage call to follow up under a penalty. Ultramarine is better judged on his previous form having been left poorly placed on his most recent outing over C&D, while others to consider are Shaw Park and Flatley.

Ultramarine is better than he showed last time but DUTCH KINGDOM (nap) can further enhance his fine record in Class 5 AW handicaps.

A six-time winner in Britain, including three times on the all-weather, VIVA VOCE can gain a first win in this country. The Tom McGuinness-trained seven-year-old has taken time to find his feet but shaped much better in recent starts. From a mark of 51, the Intense Focus gelding has to be very competitive under Jack Cleary. Third over C&D last Friday, Thompson Gunner should again be a contender. A son of Highland Reel, the three-year-old is a lightly-raced gelding with the scope to improve further on just his third handicap run. Twice successful here earlier in the year, Aisling Oscar could be a horse that finds some improvement now that he reverts to the Polytrack for the first time since March.

CHURCH MOUNTAIN has run well at Cork and Punchestown in recent weeks and might prove the answer to the first division of this 1m handicap. Royal Tribute, a fine second at Bellewstown last month, Viva Voce and Thompson Gunner head the dangers.

Having bumped into the rapidly improving Marble Angel over C&D last week, THOMPSON GUNNER is unlikely to meet a similar rival.

GRACE ANGEL beat Catch Cunningham (third) when scoring in smart fashion in this grade at Yarmouth last time and she is expected to confirm that form. The daughter of Harry Angel is a previous C&D winner and looks well placed to go in again. Glamorous Breeze justified favouritism at Bath earlier in the month and she should mount a bold bid off 3lb higher, while Cast No Shadow is another to watch out for.

GRACE ANGEL proved as good as ever when resuming winning ways in ready fashion at Yarmouth last week and gets the nod to follow up under a 5-lb penalty. Navello looks to be coming to the boil again and is second choice, with Mini Magna completing the shortlist.

This should be well run and NAVELLO, who boasts a good record here, could be the answer. Grace Angel looks best of the rest.

The hat-trick seeking MARBLE ANGEL is difficult to oppose under apprentice championship leader Wayne Hassett. Winner of her last two starts over C&D, the Andy Oliver-trained filly is only 2lb higher than her last success once taking the jockey's claim into account. While the daughter of Harry Angel could have done with a kinder draw, Hassett has plenty of time to get her across from her outside berth. Special Angel, who finished runner-up to the selection on her penultimate start, went one better at Tipperary subsequently. At these revised weights, the Adrian Murray-trained filly has it all to do. Higher Kingdom, a winner off much loftier marks earlier in his career, would be a definite threat if ready after an absence.

COMFORT LINE rates just the pick of these weights so edges the vote in this very open handicap. Rock Etoile heads the list of dangers on the back of his recent Gowran victory, with Hope And Innnocence, Marble Angel and Special Angel all well in the mix too.

Though penalised 7lb for her second C&D win last week, MARBLE ANGEL is still progressive and can bring up the three-timer.
Class & Speed Card

BULLET POINT has shown a fair amount of ability in his three starts to date, including when finishing fourth at Windsor in July. William Haggas' three-year-old has been gelded since that effort and he might prove a different proposition now stepping up in trip on his handicap debut off an opening mark of 75. Faro Di Notte put in a disappointing display at Sandown last time, but she can forgiven because of the soft ground on that occasion and she could get closer now back on the all-weather. War Chant completes the shortlist.

WAR CHANT has taken his form up a notch this season, winning at Nottingham in June before running to a similar level both starts since, so he can continue his good spell to add to his tally. Bullet Point is feared most with better still to come as he goes handicapping for his leading yard, ahead of Invincible Aura.

War Chant is respected with a recent run behind him but INVINCIBLE AURA can progress again back on the AW.
Class & Speed Card

Although yet to race on the all-weather, BRIGHT STRIPES sets a fair standard in this Listed contest. Group 2 placed as a juvenile last season, the Andy Oliver-trained colt won at this grade at the Curragh earlier in the campaign, while he was far from disgraced in stronger company at Leopardstown on Champions Weekend. Bellezza proved rather disappointing at the Curragh earlier this month but that was almost certainly not her true form. On earlier efforts, the Ger Lyons-trained filly would hold every chance in a race such as this. Leopardstown maiden winner Platoon takes a steep rise in class here but the Aidan O'Brien-trained colt is clearly thought capable of making his presence felt on his second career start.

STAR HARBOUR has been operating at the top of his game in recent months, making it 3 wins from his last 6 starts at Punchestown 10 days ago so, in an open-looking race of it's type, he could be the way to go. Leopardstown debut winner Platoon is open to any amount of improvement and is next best ahead of class-dropping pair Bellezza and Bright Stripes.

A chance is taken on MADAM CELESTE. She was a shade unlucky when behind Bellezza at Naas and she could turn that form around.
Class & Speed Card

Atlantis Blue's hat-trick bid may have ended in failure at Sandown but there were legitimate excuses, although a further 2lb rise does ask more questions of her. Rosenzoo rediscovered some form to take second here last weekend and is out again before his revised mark comes into effect. Ajdayet has been gelded since his handicap-debut fourth at Newmarket, but BERNALDA made a much more encouraging first foray outside of maiden/novice company when a close-up third at the same track and she gets the nod.

With the hood reapplied, ATLANTIS BLUE has proved as good as ever on her last 3 starts, doing well under the circumstances (blindfold removed late leaving the stalls) when fourth at Sandown on her latest outing. She is taken to resume winning ways, though the progressive Bernalda is respected on her all-weather debut. Rosenzoo could also be in the mix.

The well-bred Frankel filly BERNALDA surely has better days ahead of her and Newmarket last time was encouraging.

Michael Halford and Tracey Collins could have the answer here in the shape of RIDHAZ. Sent off favourite when fourth in the Red God Premier Handicap over C&D last month, the form of that race has worked out really well subsequently. Winner of a Leopardstown maiden in May, the Iffraaj gelding is relatively unexposed on this surface. Ozark Daze, a staying on third behind Psalm in a maiden here last week, has every chance of reversing that form on revised terms. The maiden in which he finished runner-up here back in April has thrown up plenty of winners. The aforementioned Psalm took an age to get his head in front but the Aidan O'Brien-trained colt could be one that improves now he has managed to win a race.

This rates less demanding than the race RIDHAZ contested when fourth over C&D 6 weeks ago and he could well be up to building on that effort having eased a little in the weights ahead of this. Psalm may yet have more to offer in handicaps now he's off the mark and is respected, whilst Enough Already is an intriguing contender at the foot of the weights.

Andrew Oliver's OZARK DAZE was 1.5l behind Psalm last time and an 11lb swing may enable him to turn the form around.

DARKZIDEOFTHEMOON was freshened up after an improved second at Kempton and he stepped forward again to occupy the same position there last week. He has been raised 2lb but that doesn't come into effect until after this assignment so he can capitalise. Sassy Glory is also 2lb well-in following her recent Thirsk second and she didn't perform badly at this venue before that. Lost In Time has been knocking on the door, and Bay Of Naples shouldn't be far away. Expect improvement from Forest Spirit too.

FOREST SPIRIT is bred to be well suited by the step up in distance and, in theory, should be much better than an opening mark of 57 so, for all that she's not shown a great deal to this point, she's worth chancing to get the better of Darkzideofthemoon, who arrives on the back of an excellent second at Kempton. Sassy Glory also makes the shortlist.

Forest Spirit is interesting but DARKZIDEOFTHEMOON only narrowly failed to justify favouritism at Kempton.

Making her debut for trainer Conor Maxwell, AREANA can gain a first career success. A strong traveller, who was placed twice for Denis Hogan, the daughter of Pride Of Dubai ran her best race here last season over this trip. On the assumption that she is fit enough on this first start since February, the five-year-old gets the vote. Placed on his last two runs at this track, Epaulawn holds claims for trainer Noel Hynds. The six-year-old moved well through his race last week before finding less than expected. A consistent gelding, he should be able to win in this grade at some point in the coming weeks. Waystar drops back in trip now having stayed on strongly at Navan last time. If she can lie up in the initial stages, the John McConnell-trained filly should be involved.

Lots with chances. LADY KAI rates the pick of these weights nudged up only 1 lb for her excellent Navan fourth so looks the way to go. Stepdance heads the list of dangers on the back of her solid recent fifth here, although a good case can also be made for Figurehead, Epaulawn and Areana.

Preference is for WAYSTAR who might not have stayed 1m6f at Navan last time and her earlier form is very sound.

APOSTLE may have been turned over at odds-on at Salisbury, but the winner has since performed well in a class 2 contest and Sir Mark Prescott's filly can get back on track now returned to the all-weather. There was no fluke about Black Smoke's surprise C&D success, while fellow track-and-trip winner Atalanta Breeze is back down to a handy mark. Beau Vintage surely won't remain a maiden for too much longer, and Gold Aura and V Power should have races in them before too long as well.

APOSTLE failed to supplement her Chelmsford breakthrough success when sent off odds-on for a Salisbury handicap last time, but she lost little caste in defeat all the same and there should be better to come from this lightly-raced filly. Gold Aura gets the nod for forecast purposes ahead of Black Smoke.

Sir Mark Prescott's APOSTLE was perhaps unsuited by the fast ground when beaten at Salisbury and this could be more her scene.
Ths is the racecard key.
