13:22 Redcar Stakes (Class 5) 6f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (6/4 +0%) Invitorio	1.5 6/4(+0%)	(5) Invitorio 6/4, Twice-raced maiden. Last of 3 in maiden at Ayr (6f, good, 8/1) 17 days ago, showing more than on debut. May step forward again. Beaten under 2l when last of three at Ayr last time and may do better again for top yard.
2	7 2nd (7) (7/2 +36%) Top Bins	3.5 7/2(+36%)	(7) Top Bins 7/2, Twice-raced maiden. Third of 4 in novice at Haydock (6f, heavy, 13/8) 21 days ago. Remains with potential and can't be ruled out. Modest form when third in two outings over 6f in the mud last month; place claims again.
3	1 3rd (1) (10/1 -344%) Bad Habits	10 10/1(-344%)	(1) Bad Habits 10/1, Foaled January 27. 78,000 gns yearling, Kodiac colt. Dam, 5f/6f winner, half-sister to useful 1m winner Fountain of Time. Highly respected on debut. Newcomer from a leading stable; a market move for him would look significant.
4	2 4th (2) (10/3 +63%) Beerwah	3.333333 10/3(+63%)	(2) Beerwah 10/3, Promising individual. 33/1, tenth of 17 in novice at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 41 days ago. Should have more to offer. Better than latest Thirsk effort but today's ground conditions are an unknown.
5th	4 5th (4) (28/1 +15%) Ey Up He's A Star	28 28/1(+15%)	(4) Ey Up He's A Star 28/1, Once-raced maiden. Fifth of 11 in maiden (66/1) at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) on debut 22 days ago. Likely to improve. Travelled comfortably for long way on debut; open to progress.
6th	8 6th (8) (200/1 -100%) What What What	200 200/1(-100%)	(8) What What What 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. 150/1, ninth of 11 in maiden at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Others preferred. Beaten a long way in two outings last month.
7th	9 7th (9) (40/1 -186%) Secret Dreamer	40 40/1(-186%)	(9) Secret Dreamer 40/1, Foaled March 30. Due Diligence filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including winner up to 6f Pilgrim and 6f/7f winner Moraawed, both useful. Interesting newcomer on paper. Half-sister to connections' useful sprinter Pilgrim; betting informative.
8th	3 8th (3) (12/1 +25%) Borcano	12 12/1(+25%)	(3) Borcano 12/1, Once-raced maiden. 16/1, eleventh of 12 in novice at Kempton (6f) on debut 44 days ago. Needs to do more. 170,000gns yearling but no obvious promise on AW debut last month.
9th	6 9th (6) (33/1 -106%) Keep The Gold	33 33/1(-106%)	(6) Keep The Gold 33/1, Twice-raced maiden. 13/2, seventh of 9 in maiden at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 30 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps. Has hinted at ability but needs more for win purposes.

INVITORIO may have been last of three runners at Ayr most recently, but he went well for a long way before weakening late. That marked a major improvement on his debut and with further progress expected, the son of Invincible Army can get off the mark at the main expense of newcomer Bad Habits, who is well related and should be monitored for market support. Beerwah and Top Bins are likely to be thereabouts as well.

BAD HABITS is bred to have plenty of speed and his yard is well capable of getting one ready, so he might be the one to side with in what looks a thin race on paper. Secret Dream is another interesting newcomer and Invitorio is probably the pick of those with experience.

Those with experience aren't that convincing so a chance is taken on George Boughey's debutant BAD HABITS.

13:35 Uttoxeter Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (4/7 +62%) Wade Out	0.571429 4/7(+62%)	(6) Wade Out 4/7, Won sole point and maintained his unbeaten record when a cosy winner of a Market Rasen bumper in March. Rates a useful hurdle prospect. Point/bumper winner who looks a good prospect for novice hurdles this season.
2	9 2nd (9) (40/1 -60%) We're Red And Blue	40 40/1(-60%)	(9) We're Red And Blue 40/1, Made winning bumper debut at Hereford in February. Shaped better than a well-held fourth would suggest in a valuable bumper at Fairyhouse over Easter. 18/1, unseated early on last week's Chepstow hurdle debut and reappearance. Didn't get far on recent hurdling debut but looked promising in bumpers last season.
3	1 3rd (1) (10/3 -78%) Knight Of Allen	3.333333 10/3(-78%)	(1) Knight Of Allen 10/3, Second in a listed juvenile at Aintree last December before returning from a break to readily land short odds at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) in April. Shouldered with a penalty but still respected on return. Quickly established himself as a useful juvenile last season; leading contender here.
4	7 4th (7) (18/1 +10%) Daytime Dreaming	18 18/1(+10%)	(7) Daytime Dreaming 18/1, €52,000 3-y-o and finished runner-up in a point in March. The betting should guide now hurdling for the first time. Shaped with significant promise when second on point debut in March; rules debut today.
5th	5 5th (5) (7/2 +13%) Sonification	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(5) Sonification 7/2, Won a Chepstow bumper for Oliver Sherwood in spring 2022. Promise when fifth on hurdle debut there in November of that year. Off since but he's joined a good stable and appeals as one who can make up for lost time. Bumper winner; absent since promising hurdle debut in October 2022; remains interesting.
6th	10 6th (10) (80/1 -220%) Yesanna	80 80/1(-220%)	(10) Yesanna 80/1, Seventh in a Southwell bumper in May before pulling up in a course novice hurdle 19 days later. In top hands but still best watched unless the betting strongly hints otherwise. Has good jumping pedigree but made low-key start to her career in May.
7th	2 7th (2) (150/1 +0%) Dublin To Milan	150 150/1(+0%)	(2) Dublin To Milan 150/1, Made the frame in a trio of points. Sent off 80/1 when unseating at the second on Stratford hurdle debut 11 days ago. Likely more one for the longer term in this sphere. Showed only minor promise in points; suffered early mishap on recent hurdling debut.
8th	8 8th (8) (66/1 -313%) Jack Hoola	66 66/1(-313%)	(8) Jack Hoola 66/1, Bought for £58,000 after finishing runner-up sole start in Irish points (Apr 27). One to note in the betting now hurdling. Bought for £58,000 soon after finishing second on Irish point debut in April; rules debut.
9th	4 9th (4) (150/1 -650%) Our Jesse Boy	150 150/1(-650%)	(4) Our Jesse Boy 150/1, Sent off at 5/1 and hinted at ability in a Warwick bumper in April. Switches to hurdles on return. Best watched unless the betting strongly hints otherwise. Showed some promise before weakening in good-ground Warwick bumper in April.
10th	3 10th (3) (200/1 -400%) Jumper Madrik	200 200/1(-400%)	(3) Jumper Madrik 200/1, From good French family but looks more one for handicaps based on his efforts in novice/maiden hurdles 11 months apart. Struggled on both hurdling starts, the latter over C&D this month.

Point-to-point winner WADE OUT readily beat two subsequent winners when getting off the mark on his Rules debut in a Market Rasen bumper in March, and this promising son of Shantou looks the one to be with on his hurdling debut. Runner-up in a Listed hurdle for juveniles at Aintree on his penultimate start, Knight Of Allen was on target at Chepstow when last seen and he must enter calculations. Sonification seemingly hasn't been the easiest to train, but he could land a blow if he is fully tuned up on his first start for almost two years.

WADE OUT looked promising when making a successful start to his Rules career in a Market Rasen bumper in the spring and can follow up on hurdle debut. Sonification has been off the track for 2 years but still rates a promising new recruit for the in-form Harry Derham stable and is feared more than penalised 4-y-o Knight of Allen.

Wade Out ought to make his mark in novice hurdles very soon but KNIGHT OF ALLEN sets a pretty good standard here.

13:35 Uttoxeter Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:45 Haydock Stakes (Class 4) 8f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Comments
1	5 1st (5) ( ) King Al	(5) King Al , Foaled March 16. 11,000 gns yearling, 50,000 gns 2-y-o, Al Kazeem colt. Half-brother to useful 5f/6f winner Kings Merchant. Dam 6f winner. Could figure first time up. 50,000gns 2yo; by Al Kazeem; sole newcomer in the field; market instructive.
2	3 2nd (3) ( ) Condotti	(3) Condotti , Twice-raced maiden. Fifth of 10 in novice at Newcastle (8f, 40/1) 36 days ago, still looking green. Fared better last time but needs another step forward to get off the mark.
3	6 3rd (6) ( ) Minella Boss	(6) Minella Boss , €55,000 Golden Horn gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including useful 1m winner Dream Ascot, from the family of Derby winner Motivator and high-class winner up to 13.4f Macarthur. 12/1, shaped well behind runaway Ballydoyle winner in 8.4f Galway maiden on debut a month ago. Sure to improve. Irish runner; showed promise with his second to easy winner at Galway; open to improvement.
4	4 4th (4) ( ) Drumcondra	(4) Drumcondra , €28,000 yearling, Showcasing gelding from the family of high-class 1¼m winner Fascinating Rock (won Champion Stakes/Tattersalls Gold Cup). 125/1, ninth of 11 in novice at Redcar (7f, good to soft) on debut 13 days ago, slowly away and green. Soundly beaten at Redcar having been friendless in the betting.
5th	1 5th (1) ( ) Yabher	(1) Yabher , Sea The Stars half-brother to smart winner up to 1¼m Al Mubhir and 1m winner Dubawi Warrior. Dam smart winner up to 9f. 33/1, perfect start when taking 11-runner maiden at Doncaster over this trip (good) 5 weeks ago, taking keen hold but edging a 3-way finish. Sure to improve and the one to beat. Narrowly beat a solid yardstick at Doncaster; the clear form pick, even with 7lb penalty.
6th	2 6th (2) ( ) Cangofar	(2) Cangofar , 50/1, sixth of 8 in novice at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) on debut 9 days ago. Looks one for the longer term. Never-dangerous sixth at Nottingham but may do better with the outing under his belt.

William Haggas is finishing off the turf season strongly and sends out YABHER with a good chance of adding to a promising debut win over 1m at Doncaster last month. He showed a willingness to dig deep on that occasion, and a repeat effort could suffice. Irish raider Minella Boss and Cangofar were both well beaten on their first starts, so Alan King's newcomer King Al won't need to be anything special to go well.

YABHER made a winning start at Doncaster 5 weeks ago, looking a good prospect, and can make it 2-2 before having his sights raised. Minella Boss is the danger after his promising Galway second.

Having won a deeper race at the Doncaster St Leger meeting, YABHER looks capable of defying a penalty. Minella Boss is feared most.

13:52 Redcar Handicap (Class 5) 6f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (4/1 +20%) Harry's Halo	4 4/1(+20%)	(3) Harry's Halo 4/1, Latest win at Windsor in September. Respectable third of 10 in handicap (11/4) at Pontefract (6f, heavy) 11 days ago, not clear run. Visor on 1st time. Likely to be thereabouts again. Arrives in form and at home on today's ground; change of headgear; respected.
2	9 2nd (9) (66/1 -164%) Back Before Dark	66 66/1(-164%)	(9) Back Before Dark 66/1, Eighth of 10 in handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, good to soft, 18/1) 58 days ago. Something to find on form. Not particularly solid on 2024 form and unproven on soft/heavy.
3	4 3rd (4) (18/1 -13%) Gemini Star	18 18/1(-13%)	(4) Gemini Star 18/1, 14/1 and hooded for 1st time, below form sixth of 12 in handicap at Leicester (6f, soft) 38 days ago. Others more persuasive. Yet to fire this season and others arrive with more pressing claims.
4	11 4th (11) (18/1 -50%) Happier	18 18/1(-50%)	(11) Happier 18/1, C&D winner. Seventh of 9 in handicap (6/1) at Ripon (6f, good to soft) 20 days ago, slowly away. Others are more persuasive. Yet to win a handicap but running with credit until a lesser run at Ripon last time.
5th	1 5th (1) (17/2 -6%) Cold Stare	8.5 17/2(-6%)	(1) Cold Stare 17/2, Below form sixth of 12 in handicap (20/1) at Haydock (6f, heavy) 20 days ago. One to have in mind dropping significantly in grade. Goes well on soft/heavy and enough in his recent starts to think he's in form.
6th	12 6th (12) (18/1 -80%) Agnes Grey	18 18/1(-80%)	(12) Agnes Grey 18/1, Winner at Carlisle in September. 5/2, eighth of 11 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good) 32 days ago. Hard to rely on. Won in blinkers at Carlisle last month; may have found run coming too soon five days later.
7th	8 7th (8) (9/2 +55%) Run This Way	4.5 9/2(+55%)	(8) Run This Way 9/2, C&D winner. 3 wins from 10 runs this year. Latest win at Ripon in June. 7/2, did enough to suggest she's still in form when fourth of 9 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Not discounted. Goes well on soft but latest Ripon fourth was no more than respectable.
8th	2 8th (2) (11/4 +8%) Alfa Whiteburd	2.75 11/4(+8%)	(2) Alfa Whiteburd 11/4, Career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 9/2) 8 days ago, keeping on well. Firmly on the up and looks worth a chance to defy a penalty and complete the hat-trick. On a hat-trick after pair of 6f AW wins in recent weeks; acts on soft; should go well.
9th	13 9th (13) (33/1 -65%) Without Flaw	33 33/1(-65%)	(13) Without Flaw 33/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. Eighth of 12 in handicap (20/1) at Pontefract (5f, heavy) 11 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Not easy to make a case for. Has won on soft but 1-19 overall and recent efforts not obviously encouraging.
10th	5 10th (5) (33/1 -32%) Hail Sezer	33 33/1(-32%)	(5) Hail Sezer 33/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Catterick in May. Ninth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 33/1) 31 days ago, merely closing up late. Plenty to prove. Below par since reappearance win in May.
11th	14 11th (14) (14/1 +13%) John Kirkup	14 14/1(+13%)	(14) John Kirkup 14/1, Course winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. 10/3, below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Course winner on heavy but not obviously in the form to strike again.
12th	10 12th (10) (18/1 +10%) Havana Pursuit	18 18/1(+10%)	(10) Havana Pursuit 18/1, Seventh of 10 in handicap (20/1) at Pontefract (6f, heavy) 11 days ago. Others make more appeal. Went close at Hamilton last month but has failed to build on it twice since.
13th	6 13th (6) (12/1 -33%) Dazy Mazy	12 12/1(-33%)	(6) Dazy Mazy 12/1, Latest win at Doncaster in June. Last of 12 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good, 11/2). Off 93 days. Needs to get back on track. Two wins in first half of year, including on soft; can figure if fully primed after break.

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

ALFA WHITEBURD has found his groove of late and a 6lb penalty for his most recent success at Southwell may not be enough to prevent him from landing the hat-trick. Craig Lidster's charge has yet to win on turf, but he is in form and may have too much for Harry's Halo, who is consistent and has run well in defeat off this mark the last twice. Capable veteran Cold Stare cannot be ruled out either.

ALFA WHITEBURD is comfortably the most progressive in this field and had something to spare when scoring at Southwell recently, so he makes most appeal under a penalty. Cold Stare is worthy of consideration coming down in grade., and Harry's Halo should be thereabouts.

The thriving ALFA WHITEBURD is taken to complete a hat-trick. The in-form Harry's Halo in new headgear is feared most.

1	1 1st (1) (1/1 +27%) Charging Thunder	1 1/1(+27%)	(1) Charging Thunder 1/1, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat, barely stays 2m, won at Yarmouth on stable debut last time. Very likely type for excellent yard on hurdles debut with cheekpieces retained. Very useful at best on the Flat and won at Yarmouth latest; interesting on hurdling debut.
2	3 2nd (3) (17/2 -42%) Piecederesistance	8.5 17/2(-42%)	(3) Piecederesistance 17/2, Placed both starts over hurdles to end 2022. Unable to add to tally on the level since then but fitness is assured and he sets the solid if unspectacular standard back in this sphere. Some fair form on Flat this year and he showed promise over hurdles in 2022; not ruled out.
3	8 3rd (8) (11/2 -22%) The Expensive One	5.5 11/2(-22%)	(8) The Expensive One 11/2, Half-brother to 3 winners, including smart bumper winner/top-class hurdler The New One. Improved on debut effort despite failing to land the odds in 3-runner bumper at Newton Abbot last month. Goes hurdling now representing yard going great guns. Haf-brother to The New One; runner-up in a bumper and needs a close look on hurdling debut.
4	7 4th (7) (250/1 -25%) Malinheadsearovers	250 250/1(-25%)	(7) Malinheadsearovers 250/1, Modest maiden handicapper at best on Flat (stays 7f), little form in 2024 so no appeal now hurdling. Regressive 14-race maiden on the Flat and can only be watched on his hurdling debut.
5th	5 5th (5) (18/1 -13%) Tarbaan	18 18/1(-13%)	(5) Tarbaan 18/1, Four-time winner on the Flat but hasn't shown much spark this year. Fair start over hurdles when fifth at Fontwell but needs to build on that. Fairly useful on Flat and he ran better than the bare facts on recent hurdling debut.
4	4 \|U\| (4) (11/4 +8%) Ronnies Rules	2.75 11/4(+8%)	(4) Ronnies Rules 11/4, Irish point winner who won all 3 starts in bumpers at Stratford for his leading yard this summer. Inauspicious start to hurdles career there 11 days ago, unseating rider early following a blunder, and this will reveal a lot more. 3-3 in bumpers; unseated early on hurdling debut but he was prominent in market; respected.
6	6 \|U\| (6) (22/1 -10%) Gordon Grey	22 22/1(-10%)	(6) Gordon Grey 22/1, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat (stays 12.5f), won at Pontefract and Epsom this year. Readily brushed aside on hurdles debut last month. Fair front-runner on the Flat but he was tailed off on hurdling debut at Worcester.
2	2 \|U\| (2) (80/1 -60%) Lord Of The Glance	80 80/1(-60%)	(2) Lord Of The Glance 80/1, Showed a bit more than on debut when sixth of 10 in bumper at Market Rasen in April. Needs another major step forward on this switch to hurdling. Well held at big prices in both bumpers and is best watched on hurdling debut.

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

Having made it no further than the second flight when unseating his rider on his hurdles bow at Stratford recently, three-time bumper winner Ronnies Rules will need to jump with more fluency. Dan Skelton's gelding is likely to be in the mix if doing so, but useful Flat performer CHARGING THUNDER makes more appeal. The six-year-old won't be found lacking for stamina on his opening bid in this discipline and he looks just the type his trainer excels with. Tarbaan makes most appeal of the remainder.

The switch to James Owen paid immediate dividends for CHARGING THUNDER on the level and sure to be well prepared for this hurdles debut, he can follow up. Ronnies Rules didn't get very far on recent debut in this sphere but he couldn't be in much better hands, while The Expensive One is certainly bred to excel over obstacles.

Nigel Twiston-Davies won this with a hurdling debutant in 2022 and he may be able to repeat the trick with THE EXPENSIVE ONE.

1	6 1st (6) (4/1 -20%) Windsurfer	4 4/1(-20%)	(6) Windsurfer 4/1, Built on bumper promise when an encouraging third in a novice at Warwick on hurdling debut five months ago. Has an experience edge over most and is expected to be right there. Placed in run-of-the-mill maiden on hurdle debut and has each-way claims again here.
2	1 2nd (1) (9/2 +18%) Diamonds For Luck	4.5 9/2(+18%)	(1) Diamonds For Luck 9/2, Fell both starts in Irish points in March 2023 (every chance both occasions). Cost six figures subsequently and, while he disappointed in a bumper at Taunton 6 months ago, he remains with potential now hurdling. Disappointing odds-on favourite on rules debut; seemingly stable's second string here.
3	3 3rd (3) (2/1 -6%) Jackpot D'ainay	2 2/1(-6%)	(3) Jackpot D'ainay 2/1, Built on bumper debut when runner-up at Huntingdon 7 months ago and is in good hands, so worthy of respect trying obstacles for the first time. Second in Huntingdon bumper in March; ought to play a major role on hurdling debut.
4	2 4th (2) (14/1 +30%) Gasmani	14 14/1(+30%)	(2) Gasmani 14/1, Winner of bumper at Newcastle in March but below that level when fourth of 9 in novice hurdle at Warwick (16f, good) on his hurdles bow 160 days ago. Needs to step forward. Won weak bumper in March; well held when fourth in run-of-the-mill maiden hurdle in May.
5th	8 5th (8) (9/4 +44%) Get The Beat	2.25 9/4(+44%)	(8) Get The Beat 9/4, Half-brother to bumper winner Sharp Object and from a good family. Started well when second in a bumper on sole start for Tom Weston and has joined a top yard ahead of hurdling debut. Has joined Dan Skelton since promising bumper debut for Tom Weston in March.
6th	5 6th (5) (80/1 -142%) Off To Alabama	80 80/1(-142%)	(5) Off To Alabama 80/1, Telescope gelding who won 11-runner bumper at Wetherby (16f, heavy, 66/1) in February but failed to back it up on both subsequent outings. Starts life over hurdles after 5 months off. Shock winner on bumper debut but well beaten in both subsequent bumpers; hurdle debut.
7th	4 7th (4) (200/1 -203%) Jimmyjeroo	200 200/1(-203%)	(4) Jimmyjeroo 200/1, Out of a point winner but didn't offer much in a bumper for Mick Appleby. Hard to fancy on hurdling debut after 8 months off. Tailed-off 40-1 shot in soft-ground bumper for another stable in February.
8th	9 8th (9) (66/1 -100%) Eskimo Sam	66 66/1(-100%)	(9) Eskimo Sam 66/1, Related to a winner but 16/1 and didn't offer a great deal of encouragement in a bumper here 84 days ago. Others preferred. Unable to land a telling blow when 16-1 for good-ground course bumper on debut in July.

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

GET THE BEAT gets a tentative vote. He made a pleasing start when finishing runner-up in a Wetherby bumper in March and, having subsequently been snapped up by the Dan Skelton team, it would be no surprise if he were able to go one place better on his hurdling debut. 72,000-euro purchase Jackpot D'ainay performed with credit in a bumper when second over 2m at Huntingdon towards the back end of last season and he looks the main danger. Windsurfer is respected most of the remainder.

GET THE BEAT showed plenty when runner-up in a bumper for Tom Weston 6 months ago and he's joined top connections since, so he's marginally preferred to Windsurfer, who made a solid start to life over hurdles at Warwick five months ago. Diamonds For Luck also merits consideration.

This may be fought out by Jackpot D'Ainay and GET THE BEAT, who both finished second in soft-ground bumpers in March.

Shortlist material. Good effort at Ayr took her form figures to 33212; looks a solid contender.
3	2 3rd (2) (15/8 +66%) Timefall	1.875 15/8(+66%)	(2) Timefall 15/8, Won 7f maiden at Newmarket in July and good third in nursery over same C&D next time. Rather ran off her feet in Doncaster sales race since and could resume progress here. Respectable eighth in Doncaster sales race last time; enters calculations.

Nearly justified strong market support at Musselburgh on handicap debut; respected.
5th	3 5th (3) (7/1 -27%) Karl Carlston	7 7/1(-27%)	(3) Karl Carlston 7/1, Career best when winning 9-runner nursery at Chelmsford City (7f, 6/1) 15 days ago. 6 lb higher now but ought to go well again. Off the mark in AW nursery two weeks ago; 6lb rise demands further progress.

LOVELY SPIRIT has yet to finish out of the money and that consistency earns the daughter of Invincible Spirit the vote. She broke her maiden when upped to this trip at Musselburgh two starts ago, and was far from disgraced when second at Ayr most recently. Cashlyn Cavalier and Karl Carlston can give the selection the most to think about.

CASHLYN CAVALIER took another step forward when runner-up at Musselburgh earlier this month and remains fairly treated. He can open his account. Lovely Spirit and Karl Carlston can also make their presence felt.

Musselburgh runner-up CASHLYN CAVALIER is taken to show further progress and go one better. Reddeef is second choice.

Seems to have lost his form. Yet to win this year & he'll be 2lb lower from the weekend; still has claims on 2024 best.

Holding form well and has a solid record in testing conditions. 5f on slow ground will suit but not quite at his best of late & stall 12 a possible issue.

Soft ground may not be ideal for PROJECT DANTE, but he arrives with the best recent form following a success over C&D last month. The five-year-old looked value for more than the winning margin on that occasion, and it may be that Dusk Dame gives him the most to think about after placed efforts the last twice. Completing the shortlist are Mattice, Object and Parisiac.

Last-time-out C&D winner PROJECT DANTE has to prove himself on the ground but, given that he still has plenty of handicapping scope, he's worth siding with in a race that lacks depth. Object and Dusk Dame both arrive in form but don't appear to be as well drawn as the selection.

Parisiac is dangerous down in class but PROJECT DANTE (nap) is taken to defy a 2lb rise for his C&D win.

2	2 (2) (5/4 +0%) Kilbarry Hill	1.25 5/4(+0%)	(2) Kilbarry Hill 5/4, Runner-up twice in Irish points and has shown fair form when placed on first 4 runs over hurdles. Backward step final start in March but returns at a very winnable level and yard is in good order. Record of 32332 over hurdles and sets fair standard on best form; respected on return.
3	3 (3) (2/1 -14%) Miami Magic	2 2/1(-14%)	(3) Miami Magic 2/1, Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/smart chaser Pobbles Bay and fairly useful hurdler/chaser Oxwich Bay. Off mark in points at third attempt and came within a head of making a winning bumper debut at Aintree in May. Since left D. Peters and he's a very likely type. Point winner who went very close in his sole bumper; interesting contender on hurdle debut.
1	1 (1) (6/1 +14%) D'jo Dela Barriere	6 6/1(+14%)	(1) D'jo Dela Barriere 6/1, Dispalyed ability in a brace of bumpers and a maiden hurdle at Punchestown in 2023. Fit from points when a modest fourth on chase debut and since left S. Curling. Market may guide. Ex-Irish; clear promise in only previous hurdle run and needs a close look on stable debut.

Although headed in the dying strides on his Rules bow when runner-up in an Aintree bumper in May, winning point-to-pointer MIAMI MAGIC impressed with how he travelled. This sharp track is sure to suit Stuart Edmunds' charge and the five-year-old is taken to make a winning hurdles debut. The biggest threat is Kilbarry Hill, who is likely to enjoy another go at this 2m4f distance. D'jo Dela Barriere may chase the pair home.

A tough race to assess with 3 stable-switchers in opposition. Of those, MIAMI MAGIC looks the pick on the back of a narrow second in a point-to-point bumper at Aintree in the spring. Kilbarry Hill returns for a yard in good order and will attempt to put his hurdles experience to the best possible use.

The vote goes to point winner MIAMI MAGIC, who went close in his sole bumper and looks interesting on this switch to hurdling.

2	2 (2) (10/3 +5%) Resplendent Grey	3.333333 10/3(+5%)	(2) Resplendent Grey 10/3, Three-time hurdles winner, including a career-best performance at Uttoxeter when last seen in May. Goes well fresh (second in Grade 2 novice at Chepstow last autumn) and should make a chaser. Hood re-fitted. Has won a bumper and 3 times over hurdles, latest a C&D handicap; chance on chase debut.
6	6 (6) (4/1 +43%) Autumn Return	4 4/1(+43%)	(6) Autumn Return 4/1, Irish point/bumper winner who quickly developed into a most likeable hurdler, winning 4 times, and off the mark at the first attempt in this sphere when making a winning return in 4-runner handicap at Perth 3 weeks ago, holding on gamely. Should go well again. Won four over hurdles; off the mark on chase debut at Perth last month; up 3lb; chance.
5	5 (5) (13/2 +54%) Malaita	6.5 13/2(+54%)	(5) Malaita 13/2, Held her form well over fences last season and got off the mark in 4-runner handicap chase at Ludlow (20f, soft) in March. Some improvement when following up at Cheltenham following month but rare poor effort at Uttoxeter since. This likeable mare should bounce back on return. Dual hurdle winner who won two novice handicap chases last term; could go well.
3	3 (3) (8/1 +0%) Classic King	8 8/1(+0%)	(3) Classic King 8/1, Made a winning start over hurdles at Wincanton (15.2f) on return last season and even better form when runner-up next 4 of 5 starts. Not the most fluent of jumpers over hurdles and switches to fences on seasonal bow. Won on seasonal/hurdles debut last term; sound efforts after that; chase debut; chance.
1	1 (1) (9/1 -50%) Ike Sport	9 9/1(-50%)	(1) Ike Sport 9/1, Improved model during second half of last year and took another step forward when landing competitive Sandown handicap in good style at the end of April. Predictably hit hard for that (up 11 lb) but he still acquitted himself well when third at Market Rasen since. Respected on chase bow. Progressive over hurdles last term; went up 11lb for third win; stiff mark for chase debut.

A race in which few can be confidently ruled out, so only a tentative vote goes to HOE JOLY SMOKE. Dan Skelton's charge shaped with plenty of promise when finishing second on his handicap hurdling debut in a hot race at Newbury last winter, and this mark could prove to be well within range on his chasing bow. Resplendent Grey was last seen running out a ready winner at this track over hurdles in May and he must enter calculations going chasing for the first time. Given the connections of point-to-point winner Myretown, it would be no surprise if significant improvement was forthcoming now he gets a fence.

Claims can be made for all of these, but MYRETOWN arguably has the most potential going chasing for the first time so gets the vote. Likeable pair Autumn Return and Malaita have the advantage of experience over fences so they head the dangers.

An open race can go to MYRETOWN who showed decent form over hurdles last season and can improve now he's going chasing.

This course could bring the best out of FORTELEZA, who has shown a tendency to race on the front and appeals after a solid display when second on her nursery debut at Redcar last month. The daughter of Zoustar looks worth chancing with first-time cheekpieces added for this wide-open event. Station X is notable with Sean D Bowen able to utilise his 3lb claim, while Nebrook Dream, a heavy-ground winner at Leicester, also commands respect under a 6lb penalty.

NEBROOK DREAM saw off an in-form rival when scoring on similarly deep ground at Leicester last week and a 6 lb penalty may not stop him if in similar form. A market move for William Haggas nursery newcomer Mamma Maria would make her a possible big threat, while Forteleza should also be on the premises if translating last month's Redcar form to this softer surface.

The way she's going, FORTELEZA appears set to improve another place and get off the mark. Herecomesthebear is second choice.

RULING MASTER stepped forward considerably from an inauspicious debut when fourth at Yarmouth and he probably won't need a similar level of improvement to make it third-time lucky. Talismans Time and One More Chrome made decent introductions, while The Lost Canvas came agonisingly close to landing the odds at Hamilton, although the winner did nothing for the form next time. Space Raider has experience to call upon, whereas Convergent samples competitive action for the first time, but Karl Burke's stoutly-bred newcomer is definitely worth a second look.

TALISMANS TIME showed a bit to work on when third at Newcastle and can find the required improvement. Space Raider and Ruling Master head the dangers.

On current racecourse evidence, THE LOST CANVAS gets the vote ahead of Ruling Master, Talismans Time and Space Raider.

Showed aptitude for this job when eighth of 13 in handicap chase at Southwell (20.4f) 2 weeks ago and she rates a likely improver with that under her belt. 2m5f hurdle winner but she made a low-key start over fences at Southwell two weeks ago.

Cheekpieces reached for but she's got plenty on from miles out of the weights on handicap debut in this sphere. Long way out of the weights on handicap debut and can only be watched back over fences.

Chase debutant Call Blue is likely to prove popular given the yard's red-hot form and she must enter calculations with James Turner claiming a handy 7lb. However, JEUNE BELLE appeals as more of a chasing type on her opening bid over the larger obstacles. A mark of 108 looks workable for Lucy Wadham's mare and she is bred to excel in this sphere. C&D winner Omaha Wish has the ability to figure as well.

The market can prove useful with a few and it may be worth chancing chase debutante CALL BLUE. Runner-up on 2 of her 3 starts over hurdles since returning from a lengthy absence, her stable continue to fire in the winners and it would come as no surprise to see her make an impact now chasing from a lowly mark. Jeune Belle on her first try in this sphere and C&D winner Omaha Wish head up the dangers.

This looks tricky but bumper/hurdle winner JEUNE BELLE should have a future at this new discipline and she gets the vote.

The Wrekin has shown an aptitude for chasing and, having broken his duck in this discipline at Market Rasen when last seen, he warrants serious consideration on his return. However, an absence since August 2023 combined with the burden of top-weight makes this a tough ask. With that in mind, a chance is taken that DUSAUTIOR can take advantage of a potentially lenient mark and double his career tally with trip and ground ideal. Mixedwave and Tedwin Hills are other notable contenders.

Preference is for TEDWIN HILLS, who has only had a handful of starts over fences and hails from a yard amongst the winners. Mixedwave and Vision de Maine rate the principal dangers.

A chance is taken on very unexposed 5yo VISION DE MAINE, who is open to significant improvement on this chase/handicap debut.

TRILBY has occupied the runner-up spot on each of his last two starts, with the latest of those coming at York a week ago. He'll need a strong pace to aim at, but he may get just that with the likes of Angel Shared and Secret Mistral in here. The Twilight Son gelding will have no problems with the ground and he can earn a richly-deserved success. Seantrabh was an eye-catching third at Redcar recently and ought to have every chance from 1lb higher, while Moonstone Boy should not be underestimated.

SEANTRABH did well to finish third from an unfavourable draw at Redcar last time and, from a lenient mark, he's worth siding with. Trilby has been holding his form admirably this season and ran with credit in a more competitive race than this at York a week ago, so he's regarded as a big danger, while Secret Mistral isn't without hope either.

In-form TRILBY (nap) has a good chance of gaining a third Haydock success and first over 5f. Seantrabh is feared most.

TEMPER TRAP was rewarded for some excellent efforts in defeat when accounting for Ey Up Its Jazz by the best part of four lengths at Leicester last week. He is 2lb well-in under his penalty compared to his revised rating and is worth sticking with. The 5lb turnaround probably isn't enough for Ey Up Its Jazz to gain his revenge, although he could close the gap. Treasure Storm took a step back in the right direction when third at Thirsk and is down to a handy mark.

TEMPER TRAP took advantage of his reduced mark at Leicester and this looks a good opportunity for him to follow up under a penalty. Ey Up Its Jazz is entitled to finish a bit closer to the selection on 4 lb better terms so can follow him home again.

The in-form TEMPER TRAP is taken to confirm last week's Leicester placings with Ey Up Its Jazz despite meeting him on worse terms.

Now three from three for her current stable, CALLIN BATON ROUGE impressed when bringing up the hat-trick over an extended 2m at Stratford last month and she gets the vote to go in again despite a 12lb hike. Honneur D'Ajonc took advantage of a sliding mark when returning to winning ways over an extended 2m1f at Fontwell latest, and he is feared most upped 6lb, while Toonagh Warrior also merits consideration.

TOONAGH WARRIOR held his form well last season and, with a return to this trip well worth exploring, he's fancied to make a successful reappearance. Callin Baton Rouge is on a roll for her new stable and may not yet have finished improving, with recent Fontwell-scorer Honneur d'Ajonc warranting plenty of respect, also.

The thriving CALLIN BATON ROUGE (nap) is unbeaten since joining her new yard and is taken to make light of another hefty weights rise.

A comfortable winner at Kempton when last seen, DARGIANNINI is the most appealing option despite the lengthy absence since last November. However, given none of the others have had a recent outing, that might not be such an issue. Ballybegg is a C&D winner who starts the new campaign on a workable mark, while Pretending enters calculations from the foot of the handicap off just 7lb higher than her Cheltenham success in April.

The Harry Derham stable has very much clicked into gear in recent days and DARGIANNINI can make a successful return to action. Lac de Constance has a good record fresh and is second choice ahead of Olly Murphy's new recruit Pyramid Place.

Kerry Lee's BALLYBEGG (nap) often gives his true running here and the handicapper has given him every chance of returning to form.

Irish raider Mercurial was just touched off at Roscommon on Monday and he should be a real threat under Sean D Bowen. Drama, who won at Kempton last month, has yet to prove himself on soft ground, but his pedigree suggests conditions should be fine and he can mount another stern challenge off 4lb higher. However, the vote goes to HYPERFOCUS, who finished sixth in the Coral Sprint Trophy at York on Saturday and looks to hold excellent credentials.

MERCURIAL revels in these underfoot conditions and was better than ever at Roscommon on Monday, so he looks primed for a very bold bid. Drama bagged a nice pot on the AW last time and is a huge threat if carrying on the good work to turf, with Hyperfocus also of interest down in class.

Topweight WOVEN gets the vote returned to Haydock. Irish challenger Mercurial is second choice.

Ratafia claimed this prize 12 months ago, but he has to compete off a 17lb higher figure now and has appeared in the assessor's grip. In contrast, DARBUCKS is 1lb well-in for his back-to-form Ayr triumph last week and he can strike again while the iron is hot. Diamondsinthesand has hit the crossbar twice as favourite since a Ffos Las victory and he excels when the mud is flying. Angel Of The Bay was too keen over a mile at Musselburgh and will be happier back at this trip.

ANGEL OF THE BAY pulled too hard returned to 1m at Musselburgh last time and is worth another chance to confirm the promise of his previous run. Darbucks and Diamondsinthesand head the dangers.

Darbucks will relish the return to slower ground but RATAFIA, last year's winner, can quickly bounce back from his Leicester blip.

Has been handed a tricky opening mark but there could be more to come. Caught eye for new yard under patient ride when fifth at Bangor; considered on h'cap debut.
2	2 (2) ( ) Melton Mossy	(2) Melton Mossy , Back on the up when landing a 15-runner event at Newton Abbot in August and, while he didn't back it up at the same course since, he's still worthy of some interest. Solid sixth at Newton Abbot four weeks ago; he needs considering off a 4lb lower mark.
3	3 (3) ( ) Highway One O Five	(3) Highway One O Five , 4/1, below form third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (17.7f, good) 24 days ago. Should strip fitter for that and may have a bigger effort in him tried in cheekpieces. Resumed with encouraging third at Fontwell 24 days ago; can take a step forward now.
4	4 (4) ( ) Laser Focus	(4) Laser Focus , Yet to score over hurdles but has shaped with encouragement on both starts in this sphere for his current yard and has continued the good work on the Flat since, so looks a big player. A three-time Flat scorer this term for his current yard; interesting back in this sphere.
5	5 (5) ( ) Bahtiyar	(5) Bahtiyar , Maiden who can be a bit headstrong for his own good but he comes here in good form, respectable fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (25.7f) 24 days ago. Will have no issues with the drop back in trip and he can get involved. Remains winless but he comes here in decent nick; he must enter calculations.
6	6 (6) ( ) Double Powerful	(6) Double Powerful , On a roll and had something to spare when winning 9-runner handicap hurdle at Worcester (20f, soft) 2 days ago. Obvious claims if taking his chance, albeit he's facing a very quick turnaround. Easily completed a four-timer at Worcester two days ago; major claims under a 7lb penalty.
7	7 (7) ( ) Macari	(7) Macari , Much improved when winning at Plumpton in April and returned to form at Stratford in July. Arrives on the back of a solid showing on the Flat but needs more from this mark. In excellent form from the Flat so he can make his presence felt back in this sphere.
8	8 (8) ( ) The Punt	(8) The Punt , Second in sole bumper. Unable to make a significant impact over hurdles, though including on handicap debut, and has year-long absence to overcome. Offered little on h'cap debut when pulled up at Exeter 12 months ago.
9	9 (9) ( ) Gone In Sixty	(9) Gone In Sixty , Long-standing maiden who wasn't at his best when only seventh at Fontwell last time. More required. Now 0-24 but he comes here in decent order; no forlorn hope back down in trip.
10	10 (10) ( ) Cave Article	(10) Cave Article , Runner-up completed start in points so, while he's yet to show anything over hurdles, he's worth monitoring in the betting upped in trip for handicap debut after 6 months off. Showed little over hurdles last term; needs this switch to handicaps to spark improvement.

MELTON MOSSY looked an improving sort during the summer months and, although he was well beaten at Newton Abbot last time, this represents an ease in grade for the Evan Williams-trained gelding and he gets the vote to get back on track. Bahtiyar wasn't disgraced when finishing fourth over 3m2f at Fontwell last month and is the main danger back over a more suitable distance. Macari is also considered returning to hurdles after a spell on the Flat, while Double Powerful is on a five-timer after winning at Worcester on Wednesday and he would have every chance if turned out again quickly.

LASER FOCUS has shaped nicely so far over hurdles for James Owen and he's in form from the Flat, so he's worth taking a chance on. 5-timer seeking Double Powerful is a major player if taking up the engagement (only ran two days ago) and Highway One O Five is worthy of respect sporting first-time cheekpieces.

Improving DOUBLE POWERFUL easily completed his four-timer at Worcester two days ago and can make light of a 7lb penalty.

Now that the penny has dropped for UNIQUE SPIRIT after a comfortable breakthrough success over C&D, there is likely to be more improvement forthcoming from the son of Waldgeist off 2lb higher. A major improver on the rise in distance when second on his handicap debut at Ayr, Catalan King can give the selection the most to think about for his in-form stable. Val Bassett is another with the potential to do better over further.

CATALAN KING left previous efforts behind switched to a handicap when finding just one too good at Ayr earlier this month and, with first-time blinkers applied to eke out that bit extra, Ed Bethell's charge is fancied to go a place better on all-weather debut at the expense of Unique Spirit, who opened his account over C&D recently and remains of interest from just 2 lb higher. Val Bassett looks best of the remainder.

With his best efforts in handicaps having been delivered over C&D on his last three starts, UNIQUE SPIRIT has the least to prove.

Didn't offer a great deal on debut for this stable at Doncaster in December, though, and was brought down early doors at Chepstow on chase bow when last seen in April.

CABHFUILFUNGI chased home an odds-on favourite of Dan Skelton's over this C&D 12 days ago and, due to be nudged up 1lb in the future, he is taken to cope with the quick turnaround and put his match-fitness to good use. Lebowski is a notable option on his debut for a new yard and, along with Neigh Botha, he warrants close scrutiny in the betting. Similar comments apply to Quick Sharpener despite his 592-day absence.

TORNEO isn't a chasing type on looks but he has the benefit of a 4-y-o allowance and is from a yard that has done well with similar types in recent years. Cabhfuilfungi was a bit flattered by his proximity to the winner but still shaped pretty well sent chasing over this C&D on return 12 days ago and rates the main threat in what looks a difficult race to call.

Kerry Lee's CABHFUILFUNGI might be that bit sharper than some of these after going close on his recent chase debut here.

There are a few rated higher, but AUTOCRAT may prove the answer to a tricky contest. The No Nay Never gelding didn't run too badly over further at Thurles recently and all his wins have come on this surface, including two over this trip. Firstman is rated 85 but his recent form is uninspiring, although he does have the ability to be a big player dropping into this grade. His stablemate Nibiru has a mark of 80 and didn't run too badly in a Curragh handicap last time. He is another for the shortlist.

Successful on both previous starts in claiming company, FIRSTMAN is selected to end a lengthy losing run with a return to this venue firmly in his favour. Stablemate Nibiru won here earlier in the year and he can provide most resistance, with Jaafel, Timourid and Acotango just a handful of others to consider, too.

Out of form on turf, FIRSTMAN could play a big role on his C&D run back in March

On The River escapes a penalty having landed an apprentice handicap at York last Friday and he is of significant interest. Firebrand, who won a maiden at Roscommon on Monday, is another to consider pitched into handicaps, but the verdict is for PEARL EYE. The four-year-old acts on testing ground and boasts figures of 3-6 over this course and distance.

ON THE RIVER escapes a penalty for his victory at York last week so is the obvious one, with Pearl Eye another to consider back in a handicap.

The withdrawal of Bullet Point leaves the door open for ON THE RIVER to follow up his York win. Firebrand is feared most.

TIMES EDITION lost out in the stewards' room last time but in receipt of 8lb from Walsingham, who looks certain to be her main market rival based on official ratings, this looks like an excellent opportunity to gain compensation. That said, the latter has not been with current connections for long and he will appreciate a return to novice company. Stipulation completes the shortlist.

WALSINGHAM clearly derived plenty from his opening run for new connections when third in handicap company 11 days ago and this looks a good opportunity for him. In receipt of weight all round, Times Edition, who lost a race in the stewards' room last time, is the obvious danger.

This will surely develop into a match between WALSINGHAM and Times Edition, with a narrow preference for the former,

Dual chase winner but was well held last time and needs more progress after a break.
3	3 (3) (15/2 +25%) Aviles	7.5 15/2(+25%)	(3) Aviles 15/2, Fair hurdler who jumped better than previously in this sphere when runner-up over C&D back in April. However, not convinced in that department either start 4 months apart subsequently and return to this venue needs to have positive effect with blinkers back on. 0-7 over fences and he went in snatches on his reappearance at Fontwell; down the list.
5	5 (5) (10/1 +29%) Up For Appeal	10 10/1(+29%)	(5) Up For Appeal 10/1, Got off the mark over fences at Newton Abbot in June but operating below best more recently, struggling some way out when pulled up at Worcester (20f) in August. Bit to prove now with cheekpieces on 1st time. Pulled up at Worcester and he needs a major revival after a short break; cheekpieces added.

Pearly Island bumped into a useful chaser when finishing a staying-on second over 2m4f at Huntingdon when last seen in April, and he commands the utmost respect off the same mark on his return. That said, with match-fitness on his side, it may pay to side with NICKELFORCE. He impressed when scoring comfortably over an extended 2m6f at Stratford last month and, upped 6lb, he looks the one to side with. Awesome Foursome is respected most of the remainder.

NICKELFORCE was consistent over hurdles and improved to score in good style on chase debut at Stratford 6 weeks ago. Impressing with how he travelled that day, a 6 lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold showing with further progress anticipated. The returning Pearly Island and Kankin are others to consider.

This can go to NICKELFORCE, who found plenty of improvement with a stylish win on his chase debut at Stratford last month.

4	4 (4) (10/11 +39%) Something	0.909091 10/11(+39%)	(4) Something 10/11, Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at this C&D (6/4) 3 days ago, making all in dominant fashion. Remains unexposed granted this sort of test and sound claims under a penalty with prospect of more to come. Made all over C&D on Tuesday; should take the beating if turning out again despite penalty.
5	5 (5) (7/4 +50%) Arazzo	1.75 7/4(+50%)	(5) Arazzo 7/4, Lightly-raced maiden who again shaped better than the bare result when fifth of 9 in handicap (14/1) at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm) 31 days ago, meeting trouble under 2f out and noted finishing with running left. Remains capable of better and he's one to consider. Step up in trip should suit and respected for trainer with a good strike-rate here.
6	6 (6) (13/2 -63%) Miss Monte Carlo	6.5 13/2(-63%)	(6) Miss Monte Carlo 13/2, Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 5/2) 22 days ago. Remains a maiden but she's not out of things having eased a little in the weights. In the frame in five of her six starts including all four on the AW; one for the shortlist.
2	2 (2) (20/1 -100%) Princess Niyla	20 20/1(-100%)	(2) Princess Niyla 20/1, Latest win at Beverley in July. 12/1, bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at this course (10.2f) 15 days ago. Up in trip and booking of De Sousa a definite plus. Has dropped to a fair mark, but has gone off the boil of late and has stamina to prove.
1	1 (1) (22/1 -57%) Stand Strong	22 22/1(-57%)	(1) Stand Strong 22/1, Still finding his feet following a lengthy absence for this yard, unable to make an impact upped in trip when last of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (12.1f, good) 25 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Others more persuasive. Not shown much in three outings for this yard since returning in August; tongue-tie on.
8	8 (8) (28/1 -100%) Glasses Up	28 28/1(-100%)	(8) Glasses Up 28/1, Latest win at Ayr in August. 5/1, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Ayr (13.1f, good) 8 days ago. May well prove vulnerable to a couple of the 3-y-os here. Has run with credit over C&D, but looks vulnerable to younger rivals.
7	7 (7) (50/1 -257%) Scottish Reel	50 50/1(-257%)	(7) Scottish Reel 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fifth of 7 in handicap (17/2) at Southwell (11.1f) 22 days ago, hanging left over 1f out. Others arrive with more pressing claims. Didn't appear to stay on handicap/AW debut at Southwell (1m3f) last month.
3	3 (3) (125/1 -400%) Sound Pressure	125 125/1(-400%)	(3) Sound Pressure 125/1, Missed whole of last year and offered little in handful of starts for new yard this term, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Redcar (10f, good to soft, 150/1) 13 days ago, very slowly away. Can only be watched tackling this longer trip. Has beaten a total of one rival in four starts since returning for this yard in August.

SOMETHING wasn't for catching when scoring with something in hand over C&D earlier in the week and Jedd O'Keeffe's charge is turned out again quickly under a 6lb penalty, which could prove manageable. Miss Monte Carlo has generally held her form well throughout her first season, while Glasses Up hasn't quite matched the performance that saw him score at Ayr over 1m2f in August but is now just 1lb higher.

SOMETHING has come into his own since forcing tactics where employed, running out a dominant winner from the front over C&D 3 days ago. Wisely turned out under a penalty, he holds sound claims in his follow-up bid. Arazzo remains with a bigger effort in his locker and is feared, along with another 3-y-o, Miss Monte Carlo.

If turning out again after his all-the-way win over C&D on Tuesday, SOMETHING (nap) should be hard to beat despite the 6lb penalty.

1	1 (1) (10/3 +17%) Prolific Profile	3.333333 10/3(+17%)	(1) Prolific Profile 10/3, Lightly-raced sort who was much improved when landing 12-runner handicap hurdle at Bangor (16.7f, good) in September. Progressed again when following up from a 6 lb higher mark over C&D 12 days ago and looks sure to go well in his hat-trick bid under a 7-lb penalty. Might be progressive enough to defy the penalty provided he copes with softer ground.
13	13 (13) (9/2 +86%) Henrysbrotherjack	4.5 9/2(+86%)	(13) Henrysbrotherjack 9/2, Stoutly bred sort who didn't show a great deal in 4 runs over hurdles last season, including on handicap debut at Market Rasen on final outing. Big step forward required. Uncompetitive on handicap debut and this stoutly-bred 5yo is likely to want further.
2	2 (2) (13/2 -44%) Fourtowns	6.5 13/2(-44%)	(2) Fourtowns 13/2, Fair in bumpers and similar form over hurdles, finishing third in a 19f maiden at Warwick in May. Disappointed in a first-time tongue strap at Worcester 3 months later and was in the process of backing out of things when falling 2 out at Newton Abbot last time. Has had a breathing op. Nine-race maiden with ability; has had wind surgery ahead of this handicap debut.
7	7 (7) (7/1 +7%) Quian	7 7/1(+7%)	(7) Quian 7/1, Won a Taunton handicap hurdle for Thomas Gallagher in December. Has been underwhelming since and was beaten by more than the trip alone at Ffos Las (20f) on first start for current yard in May. Given a chance by the assessor, nonetheless. Struggles continued on May's stable debut and needs a major revival.
10	10 (10) (15/2 +38%) Bridge Road	7.5 15/2(+38%)	(10) Bridge Road 15/2, Eleven runs since last win in 2022 but stopped the slide to some extent when third of 11 in handicap hurdle at Perth (20.2f, soft, 9/1) 23 days ago. Down in trip. Well treated and signs were better last time; could have done without the recent rain.
4	4 (4) (17/2 +0%) Villainess	8.5 17/2(+0%)	(4) Villainess 17/2, Didn't need to improve to get off the mark at Stratford in April. Found it tougher back in a handicap at Perth next time but it's still relatively early days. Hood on for 1st time. Maiden winner; looks on a tough enough mark unless the hood can improve her.
11	11 (11) (11/1 -47%) Twp Stori	11 11/1(-47%)	(11) Twp Stori 11/1, Steadily progressive sort who scored at Fontwell in March and progressed again when second of 9 in handicap here (23.3f, soft) in May. Probably has more to offer but the return to a much shorter trip has to be concern. In form earlier this year but over much longer trips; 2m never looked his trip in the past.
3	3 (3) (14/1 -40%) State Of Fame	14 14/1(-40%)	(3) State Of Fame 14/1, Bumper winner but yet to win over hurdles and ran badly returned to a handicap at Warwick when last seen 17 months ago. Has struck 3 times in points subsequently and market perhaps best guide now returning to Rules for a new yard (sold from Tim Vaughan £4,000). Tongue strap on for 1st time. Three-point winner, including over 3m2f; 2m could be too sharp on stable debut.
9	9 (9) (16/1 +0%) Motazzen	16 16/1(+0%)	(9) Motazzen 16/1, A fair winner at 14f on Flat and left previous hurdling form behind when second in first-time blinkers at Uttoxeter (15.8f) in July. Promised more than he delivered when fifth at Bangor and ran even worse back up in trip at Huntingdon last time. Tongue tie refitted. Runner-up here in July and getting back on rain-softened ground won't harm his chances.
14	14 (14) (22/1 -57%) Dundory	22 22/1(-57%)	(14) Dundory 22/1, Fairly useful on Flat (below form last 2 starts). Yet to get anywhere near that level over hurdles but showed more when third on handicap debut at Wincanton in March. Ran to a similar level at Ludlow next time but wasn't quite in the same form at Ffos Las on final start in this sphere. Ran respectably in handicap hurdles earlier this year and lurks on a low weight.
6	6 (6) (25/1 0%) Trevor's Lad	25 25/1(0%)	(6) Trevor's Lad 25/1, Milan gelding who displayed definite promise on first of his 2 starts in novice hurdles during 2022/23 season. However, pulled up on return/handicap debut at Fontwell in April and is likely best watched back from further 6-month absence here. Has had only three runs; bled when pulled up on handicap debut latest; too much to prove.
8	8 (8) (28/1 -180%) Tropical Talent	28 28/1(-180%)	(8) Tropical Talent 28/1, Modest/hurdler chaser who ran below form at Southwell (15.8f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Back over hurdles now and fitted with first-time cheekpieces. Has edged up the weights and the recent rain may have scuppered him.
5	5 (5) (33/1 -32%) Scorsese	33 33/1(-32%)	(5) Scorsese 33/1, Showed fair form in maiden hurdles in Ireland but has been soundly beaten all 3 starts for current yard. Could only consider if backed. Tailed off in three handicaps for new stable this year (2m3f-2m4f) and 0-6 over hurdles.
12	12 (12) (66/1 -313%) Allibaba	66 66/1(-313%)	(12) Allibaba 66/1, Poor maiden hurdler who ran respectably when third of 11 in handicap at Kelso (20.9f, soft) on final outing 11 months ago. Drops in trip on this return to action. Not overly convincing on the balance of his form and last two runs were over 2m5f.

PROLIFIC PROFILE is beginning to live up to his name. A winner at Bangor last month before recording a comfortable success over C&D earlier this month, Katy Price's gelding remains open to further improvement and is fancied to complete the hat-trick. Villainess was unable to justify favouritism at Perth in May but with a hood applied for the first time, she could step forward. Runner-up over an extended 2m7f here last time, Twp Stori is interesting dropped in distance.

PROLIFIC PROFILE is going the right way now and, having got the better of a well-backed stable switcher on his most recent outing over C&D, he makes plenty of appeal in his hat-trick bid. Villainess was a shade disappointing back in handicap company at Perth in May but it's still relatively early days in her career and she's not one to give up on just yet based on her earlier form. Quian undoubtedly has something to prove but he's been given a real chance by the assessor.

A few in here could have done without the recent rain but it might actually suit MOTAZZEN who was runner-up here three starts ago.

6	6 (6) (7/2 +46%) Beauparc	3.5 7/2(+46%)	(6) Beauparc 7/2, Bit below form at Leopardstown latest but had made an encouraging belated return at Naas over this sort of trip previously and figures off a handy mark. Makes polytrack debut. Enters calculations. Had a short break since last run and AW debut here with still potential for more.
12	12 (12) (4/1 +43%) Redemptive Power	4 4/1(+43%)	(12) Redemptive Power 4/1, Bit below form eighth of 25 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, good to soft, 17/2) 13 days ago. Stable having good spell. One of likelier contenders. Solid turf run since C&D second to Elsa's Pride; big player.
2	2 (2) (9/2 +50%) Limestone Red	4.5 9/2(+50%)	(2) Limestone Red 9/2, C&D winner. Tenth of 13 in handicap at Punchestown (9.2f, good, 11/2) 31 days ago. 8lb higher now. Work to do. C&D winner ran well at Cork two starts back; one to consider on AW return.
9	9 (9) (5/1 0%) Elsa's Pride	5 5/1(0%)	(9) Elsa's Pride 5/1, Back to best when winning 14-runner handicap overs C&D (7/1) 28 days ago by ¾ length from Redemptive Power. 4 lb rise fair and another bold bid is anticipated. Last month's C&D win over Redemptive Power; good chance again but wide draw a negative.
1	1 (1) (8/1 +43%) Warrior Lion	8 8/1(+43%)	(1) Warrior Lion 8/1, Very good second of 14 in handicap (80/1) at this course (12f) 7 days ago, having run of race. Just 1 lb higher now and merits consideration. Fine second here a week ago over 1m4f; just 1lb higher here and shorter trip could suit.
11	11 (11) (8/1 -7%) Special Angel	8 8/1(-7%)	(11) Special Angel 8/1, Winner at Tipperary in September. 12/1, good second of 16 in handicap at Navan (10f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Not out of things. Bold bid again expected but vulnerable stamina-wise.

10	10 (10) (12/1 +14%) Picpoul	12 12/1(+14%)	(10) Picpoul 12/1, C&D winner. Eighth of 15 in handicap (16/1) at Navan (10f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Enters calculations. Three wins here at up to 1m4f; no surprise if she came on from recent run.
5	5 (5) (25/1 -79%) Sportingsilvermine	25 25/1(-79%)	(5) Sportingsilvermine 25/1, 17/2, respectable eighth of 14 in handicap at Punchestown (8.1f, good) 31 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Each-way claims. Okay run at Punchestown last time but opposable on only second AW start.
4	4 (4) (25/1 -25%) Blackcastle Storm	25 25/1(-25%)	(4) Blackcastle Storm 25/1, 9/1, ninth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, good) 6 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Fair on the Flat, below form on last Flat run. Others more appealing. Let down by jumping back hurdling six days ago; others preferred.
3	3 (3) (33/1 -200%) Doctor Grace	33 33/1(-200%)	(3) Doctor Grace 33/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Navan in July. Eleventh of 15 in handicap at Naas (10.4f, good to soft, 11/1) 74 days ago. Others preferred. Navan winner two starts back but probably a bit high in the handicap right now.

Blinkers on 1st time. Others more appealing. Good bit to find with a couple of these on latest C&D run; blinkers replace visor.

Davison when last of 14 in handicap at this course (7f, 66/1) 7 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Needs to bounce back. Maiden winner in February at 1m; lost her form since and tries a new trip here.

CHURCH MOUNTAIN handled the step up in trip well here last time and there may be another one in him over this extended 10 furlongs. The Pride Of Dubai gelding finished off well to score by a convincing length and a quarter and a 5lb rise for that victory doesn't look harsh. Elsa's Pride is another C&D winner who has to be respected. She battled well when scoring here last month and is only 4lb higher. Special Angel has been holding her form well and is another who has to come into calculations.

Preference is for ELSA'S PRIDE, who made a successful debut on this surface here last month and hasn't been harshly treated by the handicapper for that success. Church Mountain and Beauparc should also go well.

Slight preference is for REDEMPTIVE POWER to reverse a recent C&D defeat by Elsa's Pride

A few of these have a bit to prove, but that can't be said of STAR START, who finished a creditable third under Charli Parker at York last month. Ruth Carr's four-year-old will undoubtedly appreciate an ease in class and from an unchanged mark, he can regain the winning thread. Jaminoz has been consistent all season and could be on the premises once again, although Roman Secret, whose best turf efforts have come with some cut in the ground, should also be taken seriously.

ISLE OF WOLVES has a decent record in this type of event for this rider and is on a good mark on the pick of his form. Star Start arrives in top form so is next best ahead of Bushfire, who's had excuses of late.

Heavy ground could give Jaminoz the initiative but otherwise preference is for STAR START.

FACOULTY seems to be getting the hang of things since beginning life in nurseries and she looks the one to beat if building upon a strong runner-up effort over this distance at Southwell last month. Causin A Commotion ran well enough as favourite when fourth on his handicap debut at Wolverhampton and he must enter calculations, along with the unexposed Dutch Finale after a gelding operation.

DUTCH FINALE appeals as a likely improver in handicaps for the Boughey yard and gets the vote, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Facoulty ran well in a competitive nursery at Southwell last time and is second choice ahead of Causin A Commotion.

Another chance is given to CAUSIN A COMMOTION who was well backed when a staying-on fourth on his Wolverhampton nursery debut.

Fergal O'Brien often does well with his bumper horses and his pair DREAM SHADOW and Strong Run are expected to go well, with preference for the former. The mare fetched 100,000 pounds after winning a point-to-point last year and made a positive start to life under Rules when third over C&D in April. Doctor Dino filly Service Minimum has to be of interest for the Skeltons, while others to note include Varinia and Georgia's Charm.

DREAM SHADOW showed plenty of ability when third over C&D on debut back in April and, with further improvement on the cards, Fergal O'Brien's mare is fancied to go a couple of places better at the expense of Georgia's Charm, who was sent off a warm order on her recent yard debut but was ultimately left with too much to do. Debutantes Strong Run, Service Minimum and Walkingtheline all tick plenty of boxes on paper so round off the shortlist.

Fergal O'Brien's easy point scorer DREAM SHADOW is taken to build on her promising C&D debut third and make a winning seasonal return

PSALM didn't do a lot wrong when going down by a head to the in-form Squire Danagher here last week and may be able to strike again. The Sea The Stars gelding tried to nick it from the front, kicking a couple of lengths clear turning in before getting nabbed in the closing stages. He is only 1lb higher now. San Andreas is something of a standing dish around here and Hugh Horgan gets a good tune out of him. He has been dropped half a stone since his last run at the venue. Walhaan is another who likes it here - he is a dual C&D winner - so also has to be considered.

GESTURE posted his best effort yet when runner-up at Punchestown last month and has a fine record here. He makes fair appeal. Psalm and San Andreas are feared most.

Just denied here last week under a canny front-running ride over 1m4f, PSALM (nap) can go one better back down in trip

There were plenty of positives to be gleaned from TUNDRA ROSE's debut third at Glorious Goodwood and she rates as the one to beat. The David O'Meara-trained filly is not expected to have any issues with the Tapeta surface and she can fend off Storm Lady, who has done little wrong in her two placed efforts to date and another prominent showing is forecast. North Star is the most appealing of the newcomers and is worth a check in the betting.

Having been well supported, TUNDRA ROSE shaped with considerable promise when third behind a subsequent Group 3 scorer on debut at Glorious Goodwood back in August and, with progress on the cards, she can make it second time lucky. Storm Lady and Glamorous Marlene head up the dangers, though market confidence behind Nightsinwhitesatin or North Star would look significant.

Storm Lady can go well again but TUNDRA ROSE shaped with considerable promise on her Goodwood debut and is preferred.

There looked to be scope for plenty more improvement from KARAZHAL when he won his maiden here last month. The Profitable gelding got going late when getting up close home over 6f and going another furlong looks like it can only help. Zambales was a touch unlucky in running when second on his handicap debut at Navan nine days ago and could be the danger off just a 1lb higher mark. Wizard Of Odds is the first runner on home soil for newly-licensed trainer Stephen Thorne and he is an interesting contender having beaten King Thistle when last seen taking a Down Royal maiden in July.

KARAZHAL improved markedly from his debut to score here last time and the longer trip should be in his favour, so he gets the nod over Zambales, who was beaten narrowly last time. Wizard of Odds also has some potential.

EDERGOLE'S ANGEL has a 20lb pull in the weights with King Thistle on their Curragh meeting and she can take full advantage

Layaali was a respectable fourth at Kempton on Monday and must enter calculations reverting to Tapeta. However, MONTICRISTO BOY is slightly more compelling after his latest C&D second and compensation could be on the cards racing off an unchanged mark. Better is expected from course winner Kilteel on her return to this venue and, despite the drop in distance being a slight concern, Ed Dunlop's filly isn't taken lightly.

MONTICRISTO BOY has run well to be runner-up in both AW nurseries and may be able to open his account now. Last month's course scorer Kilteel is respected back on AW, while Layaali was a good third in a similar race on her previous Newcastle visit.

Monticristo Boy and Layaali look solid but A FINE CLARET appeals as a potential improver now he's handicapping at a low level.

Eleventh of 14 in handicap (10/1) at Listowel (7.1f, good to soft) 24 days ago, worst of draw. Well handicapped if a return to AW sparks a revival. Over two years since last victory and has a record of 0-12 on the AW.

AKEELA didn't get the run of the race when sent off favourite at Listowel last month, and she might be able to bounce back here with Alan Persse claiming a valuable 7lb. A surprise winner at Naas in July, she ran well in two subsequent starts at Cork. Placed three times in recent months, Seas And Oceans certainly wouldn't be winning out of turn. He finished ahead of the selection when last seen at Listowel and is sure to have plenty of supporters in this competitive affair. With promising apprentice Paddy McGettigan aboard, Monzoon warrants respect, while others for the shortlist are Epaulawn, Chica Power and Ateenosix.

It's interesting that Colin Keane retains the ride on CHICA POWER who is well treated on the form she showed here last winter. Akeela can have a line put through her latest Listowel effort and had been in good form prior to that. Seas And Oceans and The Cola Brasil also make the shortlist.

This looks a great opportunity for AKEELA to get her head back in front. The stiff 7f should suit her perfectly

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

JODHPUR BLUE has steadily improved with each run this season and posted a solid second at Southwell last week. This may prove to be his easiest assignment to date and a breakthrough victory could be imminent. Manhattan Mirage rates as an obvious threat on the back of his runner-up effort at Yarmouth recently, with Kisdon Force looking best of the remainder.

MANHATTAN MIRAGE has form good enough to win a race like this and is given one more chance. Jodhpur Blue is the obvious danger ahead of last week's Southwell third Kisdon Force.

Manhattan Mirage sets the standard but KISDON FORCE shaped well on debut and can reverse those placings with Jodhpur Blue.

8	8 (8) (11/2 +21%) Jalo	5.5 11/2(+21%)	(8) Jalo 11/2, Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Respectable fifth of 16 in handicap (16/1) at Gowran (8f, good to soft) 45 days ago.

Bit below form fifteenth of 25 in handicap (16/1) at the Curragh (8f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Stable in good form.

9	9 (9) (8/1 0%) Adam's Boy	8 8/1(0%)	(9) Adam's Boy 8/1, 4/1, good third of 9 in maiden claimer at this course (6f) 21 days ago despite not looking an easy ride. 3rd here over 6f in race where conditions didn't suit; good chance back up in trip.

Flynn when creditable third of 10 in handicap at Bellewstown (7.9f, soft, 22/1) 16 days ago. Enters calculations. Now 5lb below last winning AW mark but she might find this too sharp.
7	7 (7) (12/1 +14%) Aisling Oscar	12 12/1(+14%)	(7) Aisling Oscar 12/1, C&D winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable seventh of 13 in handicap at this course (8f, 10/1) 21 days ago, not much room. Short of room when seventh here over 1m last month; wide draw makes life very tough.

A runner-up over the course and distance on her last two starts, MAGS certainly wouldn't be winning out of turn. The highest rated runner in the line-up, the Footstepsinthesand bay looks the one to beat. A good third on her debut for current connections at Bellewstown earlier this month, Feature This is sure to have plenty of supporters. Yet to win over this trip, she does have four course successes to her name. Beaten by just half a length in an 18-runner contest at Navan last week, Jackie Brown is another leading hope, while others to consider are Adam's Boy and Clarinbridge, who both finished third when last seen.

MAGS is a 3-y-o on the up, which cannot be said for most of these, so she looks the way to go. Jalo lurks on a dangerous mark so he's a threat, along with Jackie Brown.

Another tricky handicap but MARY BAGOT could be ready to put her best foot forward on what will be her second start after an absence

HURSTWOOD made the most of a lenient mark when he put a race to bed without much fuss at Redcar in August and, having been unfavourably drawn when failing to follow up at Ripon, this C&D winner reverts to Tapeta with solid claims from a still-workable rating. Variety Island is interesting with impressive apprentice Jack Doughty claiming 5lb, while the three-year-olds La Boo and Sergeant Mayer are other respected contenders.

This is the lowest band of handicap that LORD ABAMA has contested and following a respectable return to the AW here 3 weeks ago, he looks the way to go. Sergeant Mayer is likely to give it another good go, with La Boo another to consider.

The vote goes to HURSTWOOD, a C&D winner who returns to the AW for the first time since finishing runner-up here last November.

Listed-placed 6f winner for Ed Walker but slowly away of late; yard debut.

A difficult contest to assess, with both Ger Lyons and Stephen Thorne double-handed. The latter saddles two UK imports, with his SAYIFYOUWILL the selection. The most experienced runner in the line-up, the six-year-old has nine wins to her name and was successful on her most recent outing at Newmarket in August. Midream is the other Thorne representative and she too warrants respect, having finished third in a Listed contest at Haydock in May. The Lyons pair of Vivienda and Sumptuary Law are on an identical mark of 86, with Colin Keane opting to partner the former. Handicap debutant Just For One Day is of definite interest with James Ryan claiming 3lb, while Sweetest can't be dismissed in first time blinkers.

VIVIENDA has been steadily progressive in handicaps this term, winning twice prior to a good third in first-time blinkers (discarded here) at Fairyhouse 25 days ago. She's of interest again and earns the vote ahead of stablemate Sumptuary Law. Curragh maiden winner Just For One Day is another to consider with further progress anticipated now handicapping.

Ger Lyons holds a strong hand with Sumptuary Law and VIVIENDA, the latter preferred on what is only her second AW start

4	4 (4) (7/1 +13%) Mr Jetman	7 7/1(+13%)	(4) Mr Jetman 7/1, Hard to knock his consistency this year, running up to form again when creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Ayr (8f, good) 8 days ago. Infrequent winner but he's yet to run a poor race this year; should be involved again.
9	9 (9) (15/2 -50%) Love Warrior	7.5 15/2(-50%)	(9) Love Warrior 15/2, Shade better than the result when fifth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (5/1) 15 days ago, not ideally placed. Visor replaces cheekpieces and he should be a factor at this level. Ran well when 2nd on his stable debut last month; not quite so good since; new headgear.
3	3 (3) (10/1 +60%) Crown's Lady	10 10/1(+60%)	(3) Crown's Lady 10/1, Latest win at Southwell in August. 28/1, well-held tenth of 16 in minor event at Doncaster (8f, good to soft) 33 days ago, though that effort can be excused on account of going off too hard. Two wins this summer and she may have found the ground too slow the last twice; considered.
6	6 (6) (12/1 +0%) Edvard Grieg	12 12/1(+0%)	(6) Edvard Grieg 12/1, 9/2, tenth of 12 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to soft) 24 days ago, possibly amiss. Makes tapeta debut and he's in very capable hands in his quest to bounce back. Promising stable debut in August but took a backward step at Beverley latest; AW debut.
11	11 (11) (14/1 +0%) Pop Favorite	14 14/1(+0%)	(11) Pop Favorite 14/1, Five-time C&D winner. 17/2, creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 3 days ago. Five-time C&D winner; only midfield in a weaker race here on Tuesday but can't discount.
5	5 (5) (18/1 -80%) Redondo	18 18/1(-80%)	(5) Redondo 18/1, C&D winner. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Hamilton in May. 10/3, fourth of 7 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good), missing break. Off 137 days. Has work to do and return to this trip could well be in his favour. Two wins for new yard this year, including C&D; can go well fresh; betting should guide.
1	1 (1) (20/1 -43%) Pallas Lord	20 20/1(-43%)	(1) Pallas Lord 20/1, Four-time C&D winner. 5 wins from 11 runs this year. 17/2, last of 9 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago. Usual tongue tie still missing but he should strip fitter for that. 5 course wins early in the year; sharper for recent return but others look better treated.
8	8 (8) (28/1 -40%) Habitual	28 28/1(-40%)	(8) Habitual 28/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eleventh of 12 in maiden at Pontefract (8f, good, 33/1) 82 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Stiff task on bare form. Needs to step up on this summer's three qualifying runs but that's not out of the question.

TRIPLE FORCE has been threatening to win a race of late and is worth another chance after several good efforts in defeat. There are dangers aplenty, however, and support in the betting for the likes of Love Warrior, who swaps cheekpieces for a first-time visor, and recent C&D winner Barleybrown would also have solid foundations and will need serious thought. Pallas Lord loves this course and cannot be ruled out in his bid for an eighth win here.

Despite being unable to justify strong support over this C&D a fortnight ago, TRIPLE FORCE still ran a sound race and was a shade better than the result too, so he remains of serious interest. Love Warrior could do with a sound pace to aim at kept at 1m but he's a threat in a change of headgear, along with C&D regular Barleybrown.

A trappy event in which Craig Lidster's pair CROWN'S LADY and Triple Force can fight out the finish.

20:15 Dundalk Maiden 6f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
2	2 (2) (5/4 +17%) Mint Man	1.25 5/4(+17%)	(2) Mint Man 5/4, Fairly useful gelding. Remains a maiden after 11 Flat runs. 14/1, bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap at the Curragh (5f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Sound claims on pick of form returned to this trip. Looks set to run his race again but he is becoming expensive to follow.
1	1 (1) (6/4 +70%) Keepcalmandsailon	1.5 6/4(+70%)	(1) Keepcalmandsailon 6/4, Twice-raced gelding. Left debut form well behind when second of 14 in maiden at Navan (5.8f, good to soft, 125/1) 9 days ago. Likely she can do better again on that evidence. Second over 6f at Navan last week; half-brother to a couple of decent AW winners; player..
7	7 (7) (13/2 -160%) Pansy Poe	6.5 13/2(-160%)	(7) Pansy Poe 13/2, Fair filly. Remains a maiden after 9 Flat runs. 2/7, below form third of 6 in maiden at Bellewstown (5f, soft) 16 days ago. Was previously proving consistent and one of the likelier types if bouncing back. Disappointed when sent off long odds-on in a weak Bellewstown maiden latest.
8	8 (8) (11/1 -83%) Supreme Success	11 11/1(-83%)	(8) Supreme Success 11/1, Lightly-raced filly. Ninth of 11 in maiden at Fairyhouse (7f, good, 6/1) 25 days ago, left behind from 2f out. Previous second in maiden at Gowran (7f) was a solid effort and she's not one to write off. Best effort yet was when beaten 2.5l into second at Gowran; needs to bounce back now.
6	6 (6) (25/1 -56%) Overdue Revival	25 25/1(-56%)	(6) Overdue Revival 25/1, Thrice-raced filly. Eighth of 12 in maiden (33/1) at this course (7f) 14 days ago, effort early in the straight before fading. Handicaps look likely to be more her bag. Ran too freely when beaten into sixth here latest; drop in trip might help; must improve.
5	5 (5) (33/1 -32%) Crystal Sunset	33 33/1(-32%)	(5) Crystal Sunset 33/1, Once-raced filly. 80/1, eighth of 10 in maiden at this course (7f) on debut in April, running green and never a threat. Open to improvement back from 6 months off but handicaps further down the line may be more her bag. Down the field here over 7f on debut; needs to leave that run well behind.
4	4 (4) (66/1 -65%) Bahama Bear	66 66/1(-65%)	(4) Bahama Bear 66/1, Kodi Bear filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful 2-y-o 6f winner Nimbostratus and 7f/1m winner Hartswell. Dam, 2-y-o 6f winner, half-sister to smart 9.5f winner (stayed 15f) Rio Tigre. Seventh foal is a half-sister to four winners; best watched on debut.
3	3 (3) (125/1 -150%) Ascendent	125 125/1(-150%)	(3) Ascendent 125/1, Twice-raced filly. 18/1, eleventh of 16 in maiden at Naas (5f, good to firm). Off 15 months. First run for yard after leaving Joseph Patrick O'Brien. Disappointed in a pair of maidens; off the track a long time and inexperienced pilot.

Andy Oliver has had three winners at Dundalk in recent weeks, and the Co Tyrone handler might be able to strike again here with KEEPCALMANDSAILON. A fast finishing second when 125/1 at Navan last week, the Bated Breath chestnut might go a place better now. The highest rated of those with a mark, Mint Man is sure to have plenty of supporters. Placed five times from 11 outings, it'll be disappointing if he's not involved towards the business end. A reproduction of her penultimate start would see Supreme Success go close, while it's difficult to forgive Pansy Poe after she was soundly beaten at 2/7 when last seen at Bellewstown.

MINT MAN didn't shape at all badly when finishing midfield in a Curragh handicap 2 weeks ago and, back in a maiden lacking depth, he looks well up to playing a significant role. Keepcalmandsailon remains open to improvement and is feared, along with Pansy Poe.

KEEPCALMANDSAILON was a big eyecatcher when second to a better-fancied stablemate at Navan last week and can go one better

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.
