13:40 Roscommon 15f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	12 1st (12) (8/15 +72%) Rakki	0.533333 8/15(+72%)	(12) Rakki 8/15, Travelled strongly and ran to form on handicap debut when third, beaten 4 1/2l in a 2m1f handicap hurdle at Galway last time after a break. Returns from a short break and is well treated on UK form with more to come for this yard. Third of 20 on debut for Willie Mullins when made favourite for a handicap at Galway.
2	6 2nd (6) (8/1 -33%) Hobart	8 8/1(-33%)	(6) Hobart 8/1, Improved slightly when given a positive ride, finishing second by a short-head in a maiden hurdle over 2m4f at Down Royal last time. Effective from 2m to 2m4f and acts on any ground. Nearly shed his maiden status when short-headed by a respectable rival at Down Royal.
3	7 3rd (7) (12/1 -50%) Hopeful Hero	12 12/1(-50%)	(7) Hopeful Hero 12/1, Ran to form when second, beaten 11l in a bumper over 2m1f at Killarney last time. Suited by decent ground and consistent in 2m bumpers. Flat bred but definite signs of winning potential in his five bumpers.
4	8 4th (8) (10/1 -25%) Jacko Star	10 10/1(-25%)	(8) Jacko Star 10/1, Made a very promising hurdle debut when fourth, beaten 13l in a maiden hurdle at Navan first time out. Effective at 2m, handles heavy ground, and may also appreciate better ground and further. Bit keen at Navan in March (2m, heavy) so did well to finish a 13l fourth.
5th	3 5th (3) (80/1 -100%) Certamen	80 80/1(-100%)	(3) Certamen 80/1, Below debut form when stepped up in grade, finishing down the field in a 4yo bumper over 2m1f at Punchestown last time. Effective at 2m on good ground in bumpers and may just have needed debut experience. Ran okay in his first bumper but tailed off in the second at Punchestown in April.
6th	11 6th (11) (16/1 -100%) My Shadow	16 16/1(-100%)	(11) My Shadow 16/1, Getaway gelding; half-brother to Whatsanotheryear, useful at 19f. Dam was very useful at 16f. Half-brother to winners Buttons And Bows (2m-2m4f hurdle/chase) and Outlier (2m hurdle).
7th	19 7th (19) (25/1 -56%) Boltlander	25 25/1(-56%)	(19) Boltlander 25/1, Wings Of Eagles gelding; top trainer; interesting if getting a run. Reserve; dam unraced sister to winners De Benno and De Bennete.
8th	16 8th (16) (150/1 -88%) Notmiwadi	150 150/1(-88%)	(16) Notmiwadi 150/1, Outpaced and failed to build on debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle over 2m2f at Downpatrick last time. Has shown only poor form in bumpers and fared little better in two hurdle starts. No appeal on what she's shown in two bumpers and as many maiden hurdles.
9th	14 9th (14) (250/1 -658%) Grennanstown Lady	250 250/1(-658%)	(14) Grennanstown Lady 250/1, Elusive Pimpernel filly; half-sister to Hamish Mc Tavish, poor at 16f; likely to ned this experience. Dam showed nothing in points and a maiden hurdle, though half-sister to a 2m hurdle winner.
4	4 \|U\| (4) (125/1 -468%) Dark Lieutenant	125 125/1(-468%)	(4) Dark Lieutenant 125/1, Soldier Of Fortune gelding; full-brother to Marine Ranger, smart at 16f; yard quiet. Dam 2m/2m2f hurdle winner and related to two successful jumpers.
10th	13 10th (13) (40/1 -43%) Scottish Reel	40 40/1(-43%)	(13) Scottish Reel 40/1, A bit free but ran well for a long way on debut, finishing fourth beaten 13l in a maiden hurdle here last time. Returns from a short break and is effective at 2m on decent ground, can improve if settling. No great shakes on the Flat in Britain and posted a modest RPR when fourth over C&D.
11th	2 11th (2) (125/1 -150%) Burlington House	125 125/1(-150%)	(2) Burlington House 125/1, Showed greenness and found little, finishing down the field in a maiden hurdle here last time. Off a short break and looks one for handicaps. Limited Flat maiden and tailed off in two hurdle races, over 2m5f and 1m7f.
12th	10 12th (10) (200/1 -300%) Maharajjah	200 200/1(-300%)	(10) Maharajjah 200/1, Produced a poor run when stepped up in trip, finishing down the field in the Charity Race over 12f at The Curragh last time. Best at 7-8f on the flat where currently out of form. Placed on the Flat but ended up 0-8 and down the field in 1m handicaps for current yard.
13th	15 13th (15) (300/1 -200%) Middlethird Marvel	300 300/1(-200%)	(15) Middlethird Marvel 300/1, Continued in poor form when comfortably held in a 4yo bumper over 2m2f at Sligo last time. Has shown little in bumpers and has everything to prove over hurdles. Weak form in three bumper runs and instantly opposable.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (7/2 +13%) First Ascent	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(5) First Ascent 7/2, Never competitive, finishing down the field in a 12f handicap at Galway last time. In good form beforehand and returns from a short break. Showed useful form over middle distances on the flat on sound surface and can make his presence felt over hurdles. 0-5 on the Flat but some useful ability and he's of interest on hurdle/stable debut.

RAKKI was placed both on the Flat and over hurdles for Alan King and made a promising start for current connections at the Galway Festival. The Sea The Stars gelding was third behind Jerrari in a competitive 20-runner handicap hurdle and, with the benefit of that run under his belt, this looks a good opportunity to open his account. First Ascent has performed well in maidens this year for Matt Smith earning a Flat rating in the high 70s and is an interesting recruit to hurdles, while Jacko Star showed promise on debut in a Navan maiden hurdle back in March.

Not only was RAKKI pretty decent on his day on the Flat for Alan King but it was an encouraging first run for the Mullins yard.

1	1 1st (1) (1/33 +24%) Eat Pray Run		0.030303 1/33(+24%)																															(1) Eat Pray Run 1/33, Much improved from debut when fourth, beaten 2 1/2l in a maiden at Down Royal last time. Trainer in form and returns from a short break. Effective over 5f on good ground, and strong market support on debut was confirmed second start. Improved on debut when 4th in a Down Royal maiden last time; obvious chance..
2	2 \|U\| (2) (10/1 +0%) Supremissy		10 10/1(+0%)																															(2) Supremissy 10/1, Weakened badly late and was well beaten in a novice over 6f at Carlisle on her only start. By a sprinting sire with a dam who stayed 10f, she probably needed the run first time out. Shaped with some promise despite finishing 14l last of 10 on debut (6f); should improve.

LTO Selection:hiden content,

This looks an ideal opportunity for EAT PRAY RUN to get off the mark. Clear of the rest when fourth at Down Royal in July, the first two home have both subsequently franked that form and Joseph O'Brien's Blue Point filly has little to fear from her sole rival Supremissy. The latter can only improve having finished last of 10 at Carlisle on debut.

Although she showed little on her debut, EAT PRAY RUN showed much improved form and should be too good for her sole rival.

13:56 Newton Abbot (Class 3) 16f - 3 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (1/1 +27%) Centara	1 1/1(+27%)	(1) Centara 1/1, Well treated up 3lb, improved again when suited by a positive ride at his favoured venue, scoring by 2l off 126 here on his penultimate start. Progressive, though his revised mark will demand more again. Four wins (three over C&D) this season; second to Breaking Cover here last time.
2	2 2nd (2) (5/2 -82%) Breaking Cover	2.5 5/2(-82%)	(2) Breaking Cover 5/2, Well treated up 6lb, ran to form and used his fitness edge when landing a handicap by a length off 115 over 2m1f at Worcester last time. Progressive at 2m on good ground and may stay slightly further. 4-5 since returning from long absence this summer, including a C&D win; in the mix again.
3	3 3rd (3) (9/4 +25%) Synchronist	2.25 9/4(+25%)	(3) Synchronist 9/4, Well treated up 2lb, improved when landing a handicap by 10l off 105 at Plumpton last time. Considered a value selection based on the balance of his form. Ended last season in very good form over hurdles; could have more to offer over fences.

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

BREAKING COVER beat Centara by over three lengths over track and trip last month and that form is expected to be upheld. Anthony Honeyball's seven-year-old followed that up when successful at Worcester earlier in the month and can continue his upward trajectory. Synchronist made it two from three in handicap company over hurdles at Plumpton in April and is an interesting contender on his chasing bow.

His winning streak was ended by Breaking Cover here last month but CENTARA is 8lb better off today and may gain his revenge.

14:04 Down Royal 5f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	4 1st (4) (5/1 +58%) Love Bomb	5 5/1(+58%)	(4) Love Bomb 5/1, Had every chance and ran to form when beaten 5l in a maiden at Cork last time. Top course jockey booked. Effective at 5f. Probably at her level. Some good maiden runs; easy ground will be new but her useful sister handled it; a player.
2	5 2nd (5) (4/1 -20%) Final Melody	4 4/1(-20%)	(5) Final Melody 4/1, Ran to form when beaten 3/4l off 61 at Naas last time. Effective at 5f, with a stiff track suiting. Consistent and fairly treated by the handicapper. Runner-up on nursery debut at Naas last time; go close again up 2lb but a wide draw.
3	9 3rd (9) (6/1 +40%) Believe In Glory	6 6/1(+40%)	(9) Believe In Glory 6/1, May have found the ground a bit soft when beaten 2 1/2l off 58 at Naas last time. Effective over 5f to 6f on good and good to firm. Consistent until that latest run. Not beaten far behind Bay Of Supremacy at Naas last time; needs more down 1lb.
4	2 4th (2) (9/2 +31%) Award Ceremony	4.5 9/2(+31%)	(2) Award Ceremony 9/2, Ran to form when beaten 4l off 69 over 6f at The Curragh last time. Trainer in form. Effective at 5f to 6f. In moderate form and may be worth dropping back in trip. Didn't seem to get home over 6f the last twice so may do better back to this trip.
5th	10 5th (10) (33/1 0%) Another Nice'day	33 33/1(0%)	(10) Another Nice'day 33/1, Below form when upped in trip on easier ground, finishing down the field in an auction race over 6f at Cork most recent. Cheekpieces first time. Effective over 5f to 6f and worth a slight drop back. Soundly beaten in three maidens; cheekpieces on nursery debut; will have to do much more.
6th	1 6th (1) (7/1 +30%) Prairie Echoes	7 7/1(+30%)	(1) Prairie Echoes 7/1, Improved when stepped up in trip and dropped in grade, making all to win by 3/4l off 64 over 6f at Sligo on handicap debut. Tongue-tie first time. Best at 6f and acts on good ground, but this mark asks a lot more. Won a Sligo nursery over 6f but was below that form at Navan since; tongue-tie now.
6th	8 6th (8) (9/1 +10%) The Love Machine	9 9/1(+10%)	(8) The Love Machine 9/1, Ran to form but tired late when up in trip, beaten 6l in a nursery over 6f at Fairyhouse last time. Sprint-bred, acts on yielding, suited by 5f, further may not be ideal. Mark about right. Only beaten 2l by Bay Of Supremacy over this trip at Naas; lesser run over 6f since.
8th	12 8th (12) (14/1 -155%) Imnotleavinyou	14 14/1(-155%)	(12) Imnotleavinyou 14/1, Improved when suited by a stiff track and drop in trip, beaten 1 1/2l off 51 at Naas last time. Effective at 5f on soft. Could do better again if breaking on terms. Better on nursery debut over this trip at Naas behind Bay Of Supremacy; be involved again.
9th	6 9th (6) (20/1 +9%) Gelato	20 20/1(+9%)	(6) Gelato 20/1, Ran to form when beaten 3l off 64 at Naas last time. Effective at 5f but may not stay further. Highly tried in a short career but inconsistent. Hasn't progressed last two starts; down 1lb from nursery debut and needs more.
10th	11 10th (11) (11/1 +8%) Star Reign	11 11/1(+8%)	(11) Star Reign 11/1, Below form up in grade and trip, needed the run when down the field in a maiden over 6f at The Curragh most recent. Tongue-tie first time after a short break. Effective at 5f on good ground. Fair mark on spring maiden form and should build on return. Some ability in first two starts early in the season; of some interest on nursery debut.
11th	7 11th (7) (40/1 -43%) Hooves Your Daddy	40 40/1(-43%)	(7) Hooves Your Daddy 40/1, Disappointing on handicap debut, possibly unsuited by soft ground, finishing down the field in a nursery at Naas most recent. Effective at 6f but current mark looks stiff. Some good runs but was poor in a 5f nursery on soft at Naas last time.
12th	15 12th (15) (100/1 -100%) Carnival Spirit	100 100/1(-100%)	(15) Carnival Spirit 100/1, Never competitive at a sharp track after missing the break, finishing down the field in an auction race at Bellewstown most recent. Poor so far. Beaten a long way in four maidens; can't be fancied from 8lb out of the handicap; reserve.

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

A switch to nursery company saw FINAL MELODY proving far more competitive on her recent close-up second at Naas and she could be poised to open her account. A 2lb higher mark for the daughter of Starman looks workable and she edges the vote over reopposing third Imnotleavinyou. Michael Mulvany's filly enjoys a 2lb swing with the selection and isn't taken lightly. Believe In Glory is the pick of the remainder.

LOVE BOMB could take this on nursery debut if she repeats the form of her second maiden start when not far behind a smart sort.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (9/4 +32%) Starsong	2.25 9/4(+32%)	(5) Starsong 9/4, Well backed when scoring by a length off 51 over 6f here three starts back; made too much use of last time; effective at 6f on a sound surface and can return to form. C&D winner three runs back and consistent run has continued; thereabouts.
2	1 2nd (1) (8/1 -191%) Recon Mission	8 8/1(-191%)	(1) Recon Mission 8/1, Ran to form beaten 1 1/4l off 60 at Lingfield last time; blinkers first time; top course trainer; suited by 5f, acts on any; inconsistent of late. Good AW effort last week but worrying that he's been well held in three previous runs here.
3	6 3rd (6) (9/4 +36%) Antiphon	2.25 9/4(+36%)	(6) Antiphon 9/4, Back to form when beaten a neck off 50 here last time; trainer in form; effective at 5/6f and suited by soft ground, though not heavy; now 2lb higher. Well handicapped on best form and gave it a good go from the front here two weeks ago.
4	3 4th (3) (11/1 -57%) Reporter	11 11/1(-57%)	(3) Reporter 11/1, Below form when beaten 3 1/2l off 60 at Lingfield last time; suited by 5f on a sound surface; inconsistent of late. Wasn't running badly until last week when well adrift of Recon Mission on the AW.
5th	2 5th (2) (10/3 +67%) Diomed Spirit	3.333333 10/3(+67%)	(2) Diomed Spirit 10/3, Needed the run off a break when down the field in a handicap at Sandown most recently; effective at 5/6f and may need a sound surface; hard to predict. Not at his best on AW last winter/spring and that's his scene; finished last at Sandown.
6th	4 6th (4) (11/1 -69%) Barnsnape Boy	11 11/1(-69%)	(4) Barnsnape Boy 11/1, Scored by 3l off 48 here on his penultimate start; beaten when squeezed out late last time; suited by 5f on fast ground and needs to get fractions right from a workable mark. Behind Antiphon two weeks ago, though soft ground wouldn't have been ideal for him.
7th	7 7th (7) (50/1 -178%) Battle Point	50 50/1(-178%)	(7) Battle Point 50/1, Ran to about his usual level when beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; suited by 6f on good or fast ground but mark looks stiff. A modest effort last time at Lingfield and he's now 1-44; couldn't trust.
8th	8 8th (8) (66/1 -164%) Off The Bench	66 66/1(-164%)	(8) Off The Bench 66/1, Made too much use of on heavy ground when well beaten in a handicap at Bath last time; effective at 5-6f on a sound surface but remains an exposed maiden; Chepstow run unreliable. Dodgy form when third of five in a maiden before finishing well back in a handicap.

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

BARNSNAPE BOY was well beaten on soft ground here a fortnight ago, but gets another chance back on this faster surface. Jim Boyle's charge landed a double last month, including an emphatic win over C&D, and today's apprentice takes a valuable 7lb off his back. Recon Mission has been in the mix of late and first-time blinkers may bring improvement, while Reporter makes more appeal than Antiphon of the rest.

With most of these hard to trust, a chance is taken that BARNSNAPE BOY will click back into gear on this return to drier ground.

1	12 1st (12) (14/1 +72%) Hope She Flies	14 14/1(+72%)	(12) Hope She Flies 14/1, Still green and never in the race, finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m1f at Cork most recent. Off a short break and has a bit to find. No closer than 20l in maidens and was tailed off on handicap debut at Cork when 33-1.
2	6 2nd (6) (10/3 +17%) No Big Deal	3.333333 10/3(+17%)	(6) No Big Deal 10/3, Ran to form when second, beaten 5l in a handicap over 2m1f at Clonmel latest. Effective at 2m, acts on any ground, and has been in good form in both codes. Beaten about 6l into third at Wecford (2m1f, good) and runner-up on the Flat since then.
3	10 3rd (10) (6/1 +25%) Spanish John	6 6/1(+25%)	(10) Spanish John 6/1, Ran to form but flattened out when stepped up in trip, beaten 9l in a handicap over 2m1f at Clonmel last time. Effective from 2m to 2m4f, acts on any ground, and in good form over hurdles this summer. On his winning mark and has been in pretty good form this year under both codes.
4	15 4th (15) (6/1 +76%) Backinabit	6 6/1(+76%)	(15) Backinabit 6/1, Remains in poor form, well beaten in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Down Royal latest. Absent for a very lengthy period. Effective at 2m, acts with cut, but out of form. Might be happy to get away from the mud but has been off since March 2024.
5th	13 5th (13) (4/1 +27%) Pleasureofpressure	4 4/1(+27%)	(13) Pleasureofpressure 4/1, Ran to form but had too much to do behind an all-the-way winner, finishing fourth beaten 7l in a handicap hurdle over 2m1f at Ballinrobe latest. Likely to get a bit further than 2m. Beaten single-figure lengths in three of his four handicaps; each-way claims.
6th	7 6th (7) (14/1 -40%) Quinn The Eskimo	14 14/1(-40%)	(7) Quinn The Eskimo 14/1, Below form when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m1f at Wexford most recent. Tongue-tie applied for the first time and off a short break, with a bit to find. Two duff efforts since winning off 6lb lower at Down Royal but now goes in a tongue-tie.
7th	1 7th (1) (10/1 -11%) I'm Flattered	10 10/1(-11%)	(1) I'm Flattered 10/1, Returned to best when dropped in trip, benefitting from a strong pace to land a handicap by a head off 94 at Kilbeggan last time. Off a short break and should show some improvement. Came from off the pace to edge out a subsequent winner off 6lb lower at Kilbeggan.
8th	14 8th (14) (20/1 +0%) Stormy Jenn	20 20/1(+0%)	(14) Stormy Jenn 20/1, Keen but ran to form when fourth, beaten 6l in a handicap hurdle over 2m1f at Bellewstown latest. May prefer slightly easier ground. Ran her best race for a while when under 6l away at Bellewstown.
9th	9 9th (9) (10/1 +17%) Lariat	10 10/1(+17%)	(9) Lariat 10/1, Returned to form when dropped back in trip, beaten 5l in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Wexford last time. Effective at 2m4f but remains an exposed maiden over hurdles. Overall strike-rate of 2-80 and he's 0-25 over hurdles; did run well at Wexford latest.
10th	16 10th (16) (50/1 +0%) Takemeuptocarlow	50 50/1(+0%)	(16) Takemeuptocarlow 50/1, Needed the run when down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m5f at Bellewstown most recent. Yet to show anything of note. Nothing positive to report since sent into handicaps and others are much preferred.
11th	17 11th (17) (22/1 +33%) At The Wings	22 22/1(+33%)	(17) At The Wings 22/1, Never threatened and needed the run on handicap debut when down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m1f at Galway most recent. Effective at 2m, acts on soft and good, with more to come in handicaps judged on bumper form. Reserve; runner-up in a bumper but modest maiden form and again on handicap debut.
12th	11 12th (11) (10/1 -11%) Arthur's Victory	10 10/1(-11%)	(11) Arthur's Victory 10/1, Returned to form, doing plenty early when beaten 3/4l off 82 over 2m1f at Tramore last time; remains a maiden in this sphere. 0-15 over hurdles but was bang there last time at Tramore, finishing just ahead of Gekkota.
13th	3 13th (3) (28/1 -56%) Skyscraper	28 28/1(-56%)	(3) Skyscraper 28/1, Outpaced and below form on his final qualifying run when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan latest. Returning from a break and likely needs further than 2m. This half-brother to four winners could do better now handicapping; check the market.
14th	5 14th (5) (22/1 -22%) Uncle Gerhard	22 22/1(-22%)	(5) Uncle Gerhard 22/1, Pulled up in a beginners chase over 2m2f at Thurles latest and has been absent for a very lengthy period. Close to his winning mark but this 10yo has been a long-time absent.
15th	4 15th (4) (16/1 +0%) Gekkota	16 16/1(+0%)	(4) Gekkota 16/1, Below form when stepped up in trip, the race may have come a bit soon, well beaten in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Killarney latest. On a good mark and effective between 2m and 2m4f. Maiden winner; has placed form in handicaps and there were excuses last time.
16th	2 16th (2) (40/1 -100%) My Mate Tony	40 40/1(-100%)	(2) My Mate Tony 40/1, Back to form on better ground but well beaten in a maiden hurdle over 2m1f at Limerick latest. Usually held up, effective at 2m on good, with plenty of experience but inconsistent. Not progressed from a fair second run over hurdles but now makes handicap debut.

NO BIG DEAL has been in good form under both codes filling the runner-up spot twice on the Flat including on soft ground at Clonmel earlier this month. The selection was also placed on his latest hurdle start behind Paul's Dream at Wexford and may now have most to fear from I'm Flattered, who opened her account in a similar event at Kilbeggan last month. Pleasureofpressure enters calculations after finishing well into fourth at Ballinrobe.

An open handicap for which the suggestion is NO BIG DEAL who arrives here after competitive shows under both codes.

1	1 1st (1) (7/2 -115%) Kranjcar	3.5 7/2(-115%)	(1) Kranjcar 7/2, Probably idled in front when landing a handicap by a head off 72 at Leicester last time. Effective over 6/7f and acts on any ground. Has a good chance with a bit more to come and his mark remains workable. Winner of his last four races; 6f and soft ground suits him well; should go well again.

Well backed and ran as if wanting 6f last time. Effective at 5/6f and on a sound surface, but looks on a stiff mark judged on overall form. Three wins this term, latest over 5f here; not in top form recently; soft ground a concern.

Found 5f here too sharp last time. Consistent over 6/7f, acts on good ground and goes well with cut. Step back up in trip will help. Two wins this term, latest at Carlisle two runs ago; 5f too short last time; could go well.

Effective at 6f, goes well at Hamilton and acts on any ground, but out of form since her August win. Nine-time C&D winner, but not at her best since scoring here in July; hard to rule out.

KRANJCAR tends to do just enough to win and held on by only a head at Leicester to land the four-timer. He looks worth sticking with in his current mood, given this amateur rider is proving good value for his 5lb allowance and George Boughey's yard also boasts an impressive strike-rate at the track. Impressor is feared most on the back of a recent 5f victory here, while Giselles Izzy is another to consider.

This can go to the in-form KRANJCAR (nap), who looked better than ever at Leicester last week. Bay Breeze is next best.

Usually held up, he is progressive and looks worth stepping back up from 2m. Won here (2m1f) ten days ago and is now 3-4 for stable; must be considered.
2	2 2nd (2) (5/1 +72%) Model Approach	5 5/1(+72%)	(2) Model Approach 5/1, Forced wide on a sharp track, found nil and did too much too soon in a first-time visor when beaten 10l in a 2m Chester handicap last time.

Dickens justified favouritism at this venue to make it three wins out of four outings since switching to the Jennie Candish yard and he has to be considered. However, SASSIFIED struck over C&D in June and has run with credit in his two appearances at this track since. The seven-year-old remains on a workable rating and he could be the one to beat. Gavin completes the shortlist.

Topweight DICKENS went up another 5lb for his narrow 2m1f course win ten days ago but is still taken to make it 4-5 for his new stable.

Effective at 10f but appears best suited by marathon trips. Goes well at Down Royal, though revised mark demands more. Beat Billie Frechette in Ulster Cesarewitch here last time; 18lb hike looks a lot.

Alba Chiara got the better of BILLIE FRECHETTE (second) when successful over 2m3f here earlier in the month, but there is a sneaking suspicion that form could be reversed over this trip. Noel Meade's charge was a ready C&D winner in June and might just have the edge dropping in distance. Of the others, keep the Joseph O'Brien-trained pair Fortuna Vera and Sissi in mind.

BILLIE FRECHETTE was unlucky-in-running the Ulster Cesarewitch over 2m2f here last time and can overturn the form with Alba Chiara

Shows a good attitude and seems to have reached his level. Ahead of Cosmo Goodspeed at Kempton and then gave the favourite a fright next time.
2	1 2nd (1) (2/1 -23%) Cosmo Goodspeed	2 2/1(-23%)	(1) Cosmo Goodspeed 2/1, Well backed, game effort when beaten 2l in a maiden at Ffos Las last time; effective at 7f and a fluent mover.

FIERCE FORTITUDE looks to have a good opportunity to open his account. The son of Mehmas has improved with every start so far, culminating in a solid second at Newcastle, having finished a place in front of the reopposing Cosmo Goodspeed when third at Kempton before that. The latter has subsequently found one too good at Ffos Las and rates the main danger, while Mapplethorpe is preferred to Melosa of the remaining pair.

The form pick is FIERCE FORTITUDE, though there's good reason to believe that Cosmo Goodspeed will make a race of it.

Respectable runs in bumpers, especially when runner-up in a first-time hood.

Unbeaten in three starts in bumpers, the Gordon Elliott-trained WOODLAND ADVENTURE can make a winning debut over hurdles. A well-bred daughter of Camelot, the four-year-old is a half-sister to a Group 3 winner on the Flat. The filly made a winning introduction at Cork in May and the form of that race has been well advertised subsequently. Having won her next two starts, both at Worcester, Woodland Adventure is a potentially exciting recruit to hurdling. Runner-up on her latest two outings, Youre A Derry Girl rates the biggest threat. A former bumper winner, the daughter of Leading Light has crucial jumping experience. Atlantic City and Amboyna also merit respect.

Not the best of maidens but an open one. Triple bumper winner WOODLAND ADVENTURE looks to have as good a chance as any.

Arkenstaar won this in 2023 and has been in fine form at the track recently. Pisanello has been threatening to end a long losing run of late, but INANNA gets another chance representing last year's winning yard. Jim Goldie's mare returns to this venue for the first time since scoring over C&D in the summer and another bold bid is anticipated off only a 2lb higher mark.

Another chance is given to low-mileage 4yo ASIAN JOURNEY, who looked promising before this month's disappointing handicap debut.

Best Night sprung a 22/1 surprise to score on her first start for the David Pipe stable and is expected to mount a serious challenge, despite her penalty. However, JAMINSKA only found a well-fancied rival too good over C&D earlier in the month and doesn't face anything like that opposition today. Jane Williams' mare might only need to reproduce that level of form in order to go one better. John Barbour is another to note.

Newbury winner JOHN BARBOUR sets a pretty good standard of hurdling form and can overcome his penalty.

Had been in good form prior and is likely to get 1m+ in time. Beaten a long way back to 6f in cheekpieces at Navan; headgear is off but has to improve.

Ran to form when quickening clear early and caught on the post, second beaten 1/2l in a claimer at Fairyhouse latest. Effective at 7f; inconsistent, but has shown enough to win a modest maiden. Just denied in a Fairyhouse claimer a week ago; should be closely involved again.

Off a short break, bred for middle distances, but will need more time. Beaten a long way on debut over 7f at the Curragh and isn't easy to fancy on that evidence.

11th	12 11th (12) (80/1 -142%) Saxon Grace	80 80/1(-142%)	(12) Saxon Grace 80/1, Made too much use of when beaten 9l in an auction race at Leopardstown last time. Showed promise on debut and bred to relish further than 7f. Similar efforts in maidens at Sligo and Leopardstown; of more interest in nurseries.
12th	13 12th (13) (125/1 -150%) Stonyfalls	125 125/1(-150%)	(13) Stonyfalls 125/1, Still green but ran to form when beaten 8l in an auction race here last time. Likely to need more time. Soundly beaten in two maidens and will likely be of more interest in handicaps.

RUNNING POINT outran her 200/1 starting price when fifth on her racecourse bow at Leopardstown in July before improving on that to fill the runner-up spot at Naas when upped to 7f. Jarlath Fahey's filly is expected to have more to come and gets the vote. Stars Will Shine has to enter calculations following her third at Cork, while others to note include Idiocracy, Celestial Siren and Tharaka.

The filly who beat RUNNING POINT(nap) in a Naas maiden was since third in a Listed race at Leopardstown and that form looks good enough

Arvana Belle won a nursery over 6f at this venue last month and went close again back here last time. She could be thereabouts if lasting home, but MOLLY MAC has nothing to prove over today's 7f trip. Michael Keady's filly finished a strong third at Chelmsford with cheekpieces applied for the first time and she looks to have more to offer in the headgear. Archibald Ives could prove pick of the remainder.

The safe play has to be ARVANA BELLE who has finished first and second in two nurseries here, last time finishing clear of the third.

This looks a good opportunity for the Mark Fahey-trained MELLEM to record a first career win. A son of French Navy, the six-year-old had run well in stronger company earlier in the year. A reproduction of his Leopardstown third in March or second-placed finish at Cork on his penultimate start would almost certainly suffice. Jockey Thomas O'Connor, who claims a valuable 7lb, was amongst the winners at Listowel last week. Live To Laugh, who stepped up on previous efforts when fourth at Down Royal recently, is a lightly-raced gelding who could be capable of further improvement. Hitthehayson is another to note.

MELLEM and Nettuno Italia appeal most with narrow preference for the former in the hope that he is fit after a break

Jannas Journey has improved no less than 38lb since her course success in July and provided the daughter of Sioux Nation has enough stamina for this distance, she ought to have a say. Spioradalta is in sparkling form after completing the hat-trick at Chester, but INDIVIDUALISM gets the vote. Charlie Johnston's charge bounced back to form when second at Beverley last month and could go one better off just a 1lb higher mark.

Impartiality is much respected but JANNAS JOURNEY has stamina influences in her pedigree and is worth chancing over the new trip.

Testflight was in good form over fences here during the summer.

Tropical Speed has also switched stables since winning at Uttoxeter, but Sean Bowen stays loyal and another good effort is likely.

Wears cheekpieces for the first time. Effective at 7f on good and remains competitive in maidens. Best efforts in maidens at this trip on good; should be involved; cheekpieces added.

It's hard to get away from DIEGO EL QUESO. Ger Lyons' three-year-old had a few of these behind when just touched off into second over this trip at Gowran Park at the start of the month and sets the standard with an official rating of 87. If in similar form, the son of Blue Point will prove hard to beat. Smiling finished a respectable fifth when sporting first-time cheekpieces (removed) at Naas in May and is noted. Perfect Base completes the shortlist.

If repeating the form of his last two narrow defeats, DIEGO EL QUESO has the winning of this.

Tenbob Tommy was a disappointing favourite when finishing last over 7f here earlier in the month, but he isn't one to write off. The hat-trick seeking Darvel holds an obvious chance, but the vote goes to PLAY ME. Jim Boyle's three-year-old hit the crossbar in this class at Epsom earlier in the month and is just 1lb higher. The son of Too Darn Hot remains on a workable rating and looks the way to go.

A break shouldn't be a drawback for BINTJAN (nap) who was unsuited by the drop back to 6f last time. She can improve for going 1m.

Winning streak ended on latest, ground may not have suited, needs track to dry out.

A C&D winner on his penultimate start, MAGS NELSON can put a disappointing run at Killarney behind him. A lightly-raced six-year-old, the Ross O'Sullivan-trained gelding had been in decent form prior to that setback at the Munster venue. Although nothing showed up to explain his below-par effort, on the balance of form, he looks to have live claims here. Quantum Quest will need to jump better than he did when winning his maiden last time but perhaps the application of first-time cheekpieces will help the gelding concentrate. Mephisto is next best.

Eternal Sunshine failed to complete the four-timer but still ran with plenty of credit to make the frame in the Bronze Cup at Ayr recently and is likely to be on the premises. However, COROLLA POINT justified favouritism to make a winning start for the Edward Bethell yard at Haydock and a 7lb rise might underestimate him. The son of Blue Point makes just his third handicap appearance and will prove hard to beat. Amayretto isn't out of it either.

Eternal Sunshine is respected but COROLLA POINT impressed over 5f for his new yard last time and still has potential at this trip.

BAGHEERA GINGE can make the most of a tumble in the weights. A solid third at Worcester last time, the handicapper has taken a chance dropping him a further 1lb given the winner has gone in again since, and Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies' charge gets the nod. Hold Your Fort returns to this venue for the first time since scoring over C&D on May and is preferred to Stans The Man.

Multiple C&D winner HOLD YOUR FORT reverts to chasing after a pleasing confidence-booster over hurdles this month and gets the nod.

PORT LOUIS was winning off a higher mark at Cork back in May. Noel Meade's charge wasn't beaten far when only sixth at Fairyhouse a week ago, having found plenty in the closing stages, and that points to a big run here. Leopardstown runner-up Shelbourne Flyer faces a tougher assignment but could still land a blow, while Burford Beauty has plenty of scope for improvement and is another to consider.

Having caught the eye flying home from the rear at Fairyhouse last time, PORT LOUIS can make amends today off an unchanged mark.

The son of Ghaiyyath was making his handicap debut on that occasion and followed up over the same C&D next time, so he remains the one to beat. Versatile outran his odds of 28/1 to finish third at Leicester and needs considering off an unchanged rating.

Preference is for the downgraded AL KHAWANEEJ RIVER. He has no course form but the undulations of Goodwood haven't bothered him.

Off a short break and progressive. Very useful hurdler but already a better chaser; second in a Grade 3 at Galway latest.

Below form when stepped up in trip and grade, comfortably held in the Guinness Open Gate Brewery Novice Chase (Grade 3) over 2m2f at Galway last time. Off a short break; a value selection on overall form. Maiden hurdler but a better chaser; well held by Westport Cove on their Galway clash.

Best around 3m and progressive over fences. This is way tougher than winning a mares' race at Ballinrobe over much further.

Effective from 2m to 2m2f and suited by a sound surface. Tailed off in her previous chase start and also outclassed on her hurdling form.

WESTPORT COVE could have the measure of King Of Kingsfield in receipt of 4lb from him. Prominent-racer Westport Cove has plenty of experience over fences and made the breakthrough in that discipline off the front at Ballinrobe in May. Since then, he was collared close home over further in a Grade 3 at Galway and should put in another bold bid. King Of Kingsfield is undoubtedly a tough opponent. He has really enjoyed his last two races over fences at Galway and Ballinrobe in the summer and was a decisive winner of both of them. Special Cadeau is next best on official ratings and has a bit to find with Westport Cove as he was fifth behind him at Galway.

This should be a match-off between KING OF KINGSFIELD and Westport Cove. Marginal preference is for the Elliott gelding.

Having bounced back to form when scoring over C&D eight days ago, Sir Benedict must enter calculations in his bid to complete a double. However, the rise in class and 4lb penalty does demand more from Stella Barclay's charge and HARB is slightly more compelling. The six-year-old supplemented a winning stable bow at Ayr when recently finishing fourth in an 18-runner sprint at the same venue. Penalised winner Stirrup Cup is also of interest.

In a competitive race the vote goes last year's winner NEVER DARK, who is on a good mark now and was a decent third over C&D last time.

THE HEIGHT OF FAME is a dual winner over C&D and looks set to make another bold bid. Still in contention at the last on her latest start here, Keiran Burke's inmate faded into fourth on the run-in, but this looks an easier opportunity and she gets another chance. Despereaux will be sharper for a recent outing and looks on a fair mark, while Striking A Pose is preferred of the rest.

Fourth in a higher-grade C&D contest last month, THE HEIGHT OF FAME (nap) ought to be better suited by today's forecast faster ground.

Searcog ran out a ready winner at Punchestown 13 days ago and she merits respect in her follow-up bid. However, the assessor has reacted in kind with a 10lb rise for the three-year-old and LUNAR LANDSCAPE may prove to be slightly better handicapped. Thomas Coyle's inmate arrives on the back of a close-up second in a 19-runner affair at Navan and a 2lb higher mark may prove lenient. The up-in-distance Churchill Gale and fellow in-form rival Faro Island are others of interest.

Andrew Oliver's horses have been in good form and his unexposed 3yo FARO ISLAND is taken to get off the mark in first-time cheekpieces

UNIVERSAL STORY made her second start for the Jennie Candish stable a successful one at Newcastle last Thursday and is quickly turned out under a 5lb penalty. Provided the daughter of Sea The Stars is in similar form, she will prove tough to beat. Spectacular Style was victorious at Redcar before disappointing when finishing last of five at the same venue last time, but he might be worth another chance. Big Win isn't ruled out either.

Newcastle scorer UNIVERSAL STORY is taken to complete a quickfire double. Big Win is second choice.

Toussarok appeared to relish a switch to Tapeta when scoring in good style at Wolverhampton nine days ago and merits respect in his current vein of form. However, a 7lb higher mark on this switch to turf could be enough to scupper his follow-up bid, with preference for C&D winner KING OF WAR. The six-year-old is 12lb below his last winning mark and a repeat of his latest third at Dunstall Park may suffice. Desert Beauty is also of interest.

This former point-to-point winner won two of her 10 races over flights, but is quickly going the right way over the bigger obstacles. On her second start, she was headed in the final strides at Tipperary before putting it all together to win decisively in a mares' beginners' chase at Tramore which bodes well for this assignment. Howya Luveen merits moving up in class after a six-length success in Ballinrobe this month and there should be more to come from her. Betty Dutton went off favourite for her handicap debut at Downpatrick, but was badly hampered and fell at the first. She is on a recovery mission.

Henry De Bromhead's COBRA QUEEN jumped particularly well when winning at Tramore and this mark shouldn't be beyond her.

Effective 10-12f, acts on soft and good. On a useful mark but can be erratic. 0-14; some sound efforts this term including when second here last month; each-way chance.

Trainer in form; suited by 12f and acts on soft and good to firm. Progressive type. Improved since trying 1m4f with 2 wins (soft and AW) and an AW second on Sunday; contender.
3	2 3rd (2) (12/1 0%) Dandy's Angel	12 12/1(0%)	(2) Dandy's Angel 12/1, Won this last year and scored by 1/2l off 62 over 10f at Beverley in July. Put in a solid effort last time; effective 9-12f, handles all going. This is usually her time of year and her mark is easing. 11-time winner including this race off 6lb lower last year; fair run last week; a possible.

Effective 8-12f, acts on soft and good. Still an unreliable maiden. 0-17; two best runs this term have been here, but others look to have a stronger chance.

6th	5 6th (5) (5/1 +23%) Grizzieblanca	5 5/1(+23%)	(5) Grizzieblanca 5/1, Ran to form when beaten a neck off 53 over 10f at Newcastle last time. Effective 10-12f, with the latter trip suiting best. Form has only come on sound surfaces but remains on a workable mark. Ex-Karl Burke; Catterick winner in May; sound run after a break on stable debut; chance.
7th	1 7th (1) (10/1 -150%) Vampire Slayer	10 10/1(-150%)	(1) Vampire Slayer 10/1, Well backed, returned to form when beaten a short-head off 57 over 1m5f at Ayr last time. Has the top course jockey booked; effective at 12/13f, acts on soft and good. On a good mark but off a break after a wind operation. 0-21 (Flat and jumps); short-head second when last seen out; wind op since; interesting.
8th	6 8th (6) (100/1 -203%) Tiger Kitten	100 100/1(-203%)	(6) Tiger Kitten 100/1, Unwilling and well beaten in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time. Has shown no worthwhile form and looks irresolute. Ex-Irish; mainly ordinary form, including on stable debut, and best watched for now.
9th	4 9th (4) (22/1 -57%) Woodshaw	22 22/1(-57%)	(4) Woodshaw 22/1, Did not stay, made a lot of use, and finished a 7l third in a handicap at Musselburgh most recently. Effective at 10f in Ireland on good. Somewhat unwilling and has plenty to prove. Ex-Irish; best form for this yard when third at Musselburgh latest; needs to improve again.

Having found only a subsequent winner too strong at Ayr in late April, VAMPIRE SLAYER could be poised to make a winning reappearance. The five-year-old has subsequently undergone a wind procedure and a 2lb higher mark looks far from insurmountable. Grizzieblanca hit the frame on her stable bow at Newcastle 10 days ago and she's feared most, ahead of recent Beverley third Hickton.

The one who appeals most is GRIZZIEBLANCA, who beat a useful sort when winning at Catterick on her only previous run at this trip.

Race may have come too soon when 15th, beaten 19l off 73 last time. Off a short break; effective at 9-12f and acts on any going. Progressive until latest and still fairly treated. Won off 11lb lower at Galway, next run may have come too soon, could rebound.
2	6 2nd (6) (6/1 +8%) Railwayview Lady	6 6/1(+8%)	(6) Railwayview Lady 6/1, Improved when suited by a stiff track, winning a 10f Navan maiden by a neck last time. Effective at 10f on good ground and likely to stay a bit further; progressing. Shock 125-1 maiden win latest, form been boosted, should stay this far, shortlisted.
3	12 3rd (12) (33/1 +34%) Goin'	33 33/1(+34%)	(12) Goin' 33/1, Outpaced and the first beaten when down the field in a 1m6f Listowel handicap last time. Usually held up; effective at 12-16f and suited by cut. Out of form since moving from Germany. German winner, struggled in all five starts in Ireland, looks yard's second string.
4	9 4th (9) (5/1 +50%) Pillar Of Hope	5 5/1(+50%)	(9) Pillar Of Hope 5/1, No obvious excuse when well beaten in a 12f Roscommon handicap last time, though had been in good form prior. Enjoys making the running; effective at 9-12f and suited by a sound surface. Remains well treated on old UK form. Won off 5lb lower in June, beaten twice since, needs to find a bit more off this mark.
5th	4 5th (4) (3/1 +54%) Sir Callisto	3 3/1(+54%)	(4) Sir Callisto 3/1, Poorly placed to challenge and not asked for an effort when beaten 10l in a 2m3f handicap here last time. Effective at 10-12f and still on a fair mark based on French form. Fine run at the Curragh on penultimate, trip too far latest, not discounted back in trip.
6th	3 6th (3) (16/1 +20%) Razdan	16 16/1(+20%)	(3) Razdan 16/1, Ran to form but outclassed when stepped up in grade and finished down the field in a Leopardstown handicap last time. Usually held up; effective at 8-12f and acts on any ground. Form inconsistent this term. Talented but has tendency to start slowly, ran better than result latest, this is easier.
7th	10 7th (10) (16/1 -33%) Doctor Grace	16 16/1(-33%)	(10) Doctor Grace 16/1, Scored by a head off 66 here in July. Probably unsuited by the drop in trip at a sharp track when 11th, beaten 15l off 70 last time. Effective at 10-13f on good to firm, good, soft and all-weather. Consistent but fully exposed to the handicapper. Won off 3lb lower over C&D in July, well beaten back here latest, others in better form.
8th	2 8th (2) (18/1 +10%) Boxing Great	18 18/1(+10%)	(2) Boxing Great 18/1, Outpaced and beaten early, disappointing when well held on handicap debut over 12f at Gowran Park last time. Previously in good form; effective at 10-12f and looks a strong stayer at 12f. Bit to prove after poor run. Good C&D maiden run in June, h'cap debut latest too bad to be true, must rebound.
9th	13 9th (13) (9/1 +64%) Son Of Hypnos	9 9/1(+64%)	(13) Son Of Hypnos 9/1, Ran to form back on the Flat when beaten 6l in a 12f Galway handicap last time. Trainer in form; effective at 12f and acts on soft and good. In decent form in both codes but has been very busy. No Flat win since 2020, beaten 6l on return to the level at Galway latest, more needed.
10th	14 10th (14) (40/1 +20%) Almenfee	40 40/1(+20%)	(14) Almenfee 40/1, Needed the run on stable debut when down the field in a 12f Roscommon handicap last time. Wears a tongue-tie for the first time. Effective at 12f and acts on good to soft and good ground; needs to recapture German form. German winner, poor run on stable debut latest, watch in first-time tongue tie.
11th	1 11th (1) (66/1 -164%) Thyer	66 66/1(-164%)	(1) Thyer 66/1, Outpaced and unsuited by the drop in trip, may also have found the ground too soft when down the field in a 6f Cork handicap last time. Effective at 1m on a sound surface in the UK but not sure to stay further; needs to leave stable debut form behind. Placed last three starts for Marco Botti, low-key stable debut, big step up in trip, watch.
12th	7 12th (7) (66/1 -32%) Royal Alliance	66 66/1(-32%)	(7) Royal Alliance 66/1, Outpaced and unsuited by the drop in trip when down the field in a 6f Cork handicap last time. A 7f all-weather winner who probably wants middle distances; needs to leave stable debut form behind. 3yo gelding, AW winner for former yard, tailed off on stable debut latest, watch.
13th	17 13th (17) (66/1 -32%) It's Tim	66 66/1(-32%)	(17) It's Tim 66/1, Harshly treated when well beaten in a 2m Chelmsford handicap last time. Off a short break; had been progressive over 12-14f on a sound surface in the UK in spring. High enough in the weights for stable debut. Won four in Britain, may be on tough mark for stable debut, rain a negative; reserve.

RAILWAYVIEW LADY sprung a 125/1 surprise to get up in the final strides over 1m2f at Navan earlier in the month, shaping as if this step up in trip would be a good move. The daughter of Mastercraftsman now makes her first start in a handicap and can defy her opening mark of 79. Glenroyal ran too badly to be true when well beaten at Galway last month and is probably worth another chance. Of the remainder, Sir Callisto makes the most appeal.

MORSE will relish any rain and he is 4lb lower than when second in this last year.

Mayfair Market has shown a fair amount of ability in her three career outings and sets the standard with an official rating of 71. However, it may pay to side with newcomer ART GALLERY. James Ferguson's juvenile changed hands for 42,000gns as a yearling and is related to a few winners. With Oisin Murphy booked, she looks the one to be on. Izz'nt She Hot has shown little in her two starts thus far but isn't one to write off just yet.

Interesting newcomers TAGO MAGO and Art Gallery may well reach or surpass the fairly ordinary standard set by Mayfair Market.

ROVINIA has been knocking on the door since racing under the tutelage of Roger Teal in July and perseverance may pay dividends. The three-year-old is only 1lb higher than her close-up second at Lingfield earlier this month and she may open her account at the main expense of Upper Hand. The Camacho gelding arrives on the back of a respectable second here and a 1lb ease in the ratings can only help. Mehmo is the pick of the remainder.

Roger Teal's ROVINIA has fewer convictions than these infrequent winners and she very nearly won her last race.

SHADYS LADY emerged with plenty of credit from a runner-up berth on racecourse debut at Naas in March behind a very classy sort. That form was very well franked when the horse that beat her finished second in a Grade 1 at Punchestown the following month. Ozark's Walk has shown a real aptitude for Kilbeggan in posting two runner-up efforts there and that form entitles him to respect in this contest. Onlyforfrankie has improved with each run, while Dawn Approach gelding Seventeen B is an interesting newcomer with John Gleeson booked and should be given a market check.

SHADYS LADY got to within 1.5l of the subsequent Grade 1 placed Switch From Diesel at Naas. A repeat of that should suffice

ROSE OF HONOUR made a strong impression when making a winning debut at Kempton earlier in the month and is likely to have plenty more to offer. James Tate's filly has plenty of speed in her pedigree and can defy her penalty. Brakeman progressed from his introduction to finish second at Wolverhampton and needs to be taken seriously. Of the remainder, Spitzbergen makes the most appeal.

Promising ROSE OF HONOUR is taken to defy a penalty for her Kempton success. Brakeman is second choice.

Wide draw and off a short break. Effective at 7f on AW; bit to prove in handicaps. 0-5 (placed once) for Dermot Weld; drops in trip; may show progress for new stable.

12th	13 12th (13) (22/1 -159%) Melissa Honey	22 22/1(-159%)	(13) Melissa Honey 22/1, Ran to form when beaten a length off 58 at Newcastle last time. Effective at 6-7f and in solid form. Still a maiden but has frame possibilities on most of her recent form.
13th	2 13th (2) (10/1 +29%) Lady Modena	10 10/1(+29%)	(2) Lady Modena 10/1, Below form switched to turf and soft ground for her handicap debut, comfortably held in a handicap at Lingfield last time.

It could pay to stick with PHOENIX MOON. Denis Coakley's filly recorded a cosy success at Lingfield last time and remains of interest, despite a 5lb rise, with Oisin Murphy keeping the winning partnership intact. The unexposed Melissa Honey ran her best race so far when fourth at Newcastle and she could land a bow, while Daytona Lady has winning form at the track and posted a better effort at Chester recently.

Plenty of the runners have possibilities in this open-looking contest. The suggestion is SPIRIT OF JENNY, ahead of Daytona Lady.

ZIGGY'S TRITON has won a couple of races on the turf this season and returns to the all-weather with a shout off his current mark. He drops a grade for this with Oisin Murphy taking over the reins and is taken to edge out Grace Angel. The latter made a bold bid from the front when narrowly beaten over C&D last week, while Thankuappreciate finished with a late flourish here last time and could also get involved.

Slow starts complicate life for Thankuappreciate and preference is for GRACE ANGEL (nap) who ran so well over C&D last week.

MY AMBITION arrives in fine fettle having won at Lingfield before finishing a solid third at the same track. He looks likely to be deliver late for another strong challenge. Back From Dubai scored at Wolverhampton back in May and a recent second at Beverley suggests he can have a say in proceedings, while the veteran My Brother Mike cannot be ruled out with any confidence.

Three-time Tapeta winner KAARESS was unlucky not to finish a bit closer at Newcaslte last week and remains on a good mark.

Stellenbosch looks up to winning a race like this and cannot be overlooked, but LUMINOSO might be the way to go here as Richard Hannon's charge is beginning to look exposed. As for the selection, perhaps her poor Kempton run came soon enough after what was a really promising course debut and she's worth another chance now following a break. Any money for Welljudged on her debut would be noteworthy.

Back down in distance and returned to the scene of her debut promise, LUMINOSO is preferred. Goldie Trickett is second pick.

The in-form SILKY ROBIN can send his supporters home smiling. He readily completed a hat-trick at Bath earlier in the month and might not be done improving yet, while punters will be pleased to see that Tom Marquand keeps the ride. Darn Hot Time is an unexposed quantity to consider and it might also be worth keeping C&D winner The Real McKay in mind.

There are a few positives as regards THE REAL MCKAY who is first choice ahead of Roaring Ralph.

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.
