1	1 1st (1) (40/1 -21%) Art Power		40 40/1(-21%)																															(1) Art Power 40/1, Very talented on his day but tends to save his best for the Curragh, adding Group 2 Sapphire Stakes to his tally in July. Exploits have been a shade mixed since, including back at that venue and never figured on back of a tardy start in the Prix de l'Abbaye latest. Subdued since Irish Group 2 win in July and now 0-14 at the top level.
2	2 2nd (2) (5/4 +23%) Kinross		1.25 5/4(+23%)																															(2) Kinross 5/4, Impressive when doubling his tally at Group 1 level in this race 12 months ago and looked as good as ever this time around, landing Group 2's at Goodwood/York. Produced another fine effort when second in Prix de la Foret latest and he looks sure to make a bold bid to defend his crown. Clearcut winner of last year's race; arguably unlucky in Foret last time; the one to beat.
3	6 3rd (6) (11/1 +8%) Spycatcher		11 11/1(+8%)																															(6) Spycatcher 11/1, Improved performer this season, resuming winning ways in French Group 3 and went down all guns blazing in Prix Maurice De Gheest at Deauville on penultimate start. Weakened in to third late on in Group 2 Park Stakes (7f) latest but this ground will hold no fears. Has had fine year, but only third of five in Group 2 last time and will need a career best.
4	15 4th (15) (25/1 +11%) Swingalong		25 25/1(+11%)																															(15) Swingalong 25/1, Group 2 winner as a juvenile who produced fine pair of in-the-frame efforts in Group 1 company either side of success in Grp. 3 Summer Stakes at York (6f) in July. Another with a bit to find on these terms but she's proven her effectiveness on a softer surface previously. Productive since dropped to 6f but others have better form; soft ground could be a concern.
5th	4 5th (4) (25/1 +0%) Run To Freedom		25 25/1(+0%)																															(4) Run To Freedom 25/1, Ran a cracker when runner-up behind Kinross in this 12 months ago and confirmed that no fluke this time around, landing Salisbury listed event prior to big effort when runner-up in July Cup. Not in same form in Sprint Cup at Haydock but comes here fresher than most. Runner-up 12 months ago and in this year's July Cup but below par at Haydock last time.
6th	8 6th (8) (66/1 -32%) Makarova		66 66/1(-32%)																															(8) Makarova 66/1, Landed a listed contest at Ayr in June and held her own up in grade subsequently, fourth from a good draw in the Nunthorpe and similar form when 2 lengths sixth in Prix de l'Abbaye at Longchamp. Suspicion she will come up short again, however. Better than ever since dropped to 5f; this testing 6f could stretch her stamina.
7th	11 7th (11) (20/1 -208%) Vadream		20 20/1(-208%)																															(11) Vadream 20/1, Smart mare who got back to her best during the spring, landing Group 3 Palace House at Newmarket in May. Disappointed next 3 starts but confirmed herself back in good form (after 3 months off) with good fifth in C&D Group 3 earlier this month. Forecast rain a major plus ahead of this. Mud-lover whose smart wins in the spring came on soft/heavy; the more rain, the better.
8th	7 8th (7) (15/2 +17%) Mill Stream		7.5 15/2(+17%)																															(7) Mill Stream 15/2, Fine efforts when twice placed behind the prolific Quinault in big-field handicaps this summer and matched that form when landing listed/Group 3 contests at Deauville in August. Went well for long way when sixth in last month's Sprint Cup and entitled to give another good account. Quickened to win French Group 3; far from disgraced in first Group 1 latest; shortlisted.
9th	9 9th (9) (15/2 +38%) Sandrine		7.5 15/2(+38%)																															(9) Sandrine 15/2, Smart filly who won the Lennox last season. Solid start to present campaign in the spring and ran right up to her best equipped with a visor, third behind Kinross in York Group 2 prior to going one place better in Group 2 Park Stakes at Doncaster (7f) 5 weeks ago. Career-best effort when winning the Park Stakes on soft last time; commands major respect.
10th	10 10th (10) (14/1 -27%) Sense Of Duty		14 14/1(-27%)																															(10) Sense Of Duty 14/1, Showcasing filly who was most progressive during first half of 2022, running out most impressive winner of Group 3 Chipchase Stakes at Newcastle in June. Creditable return from 15 months off when third in 5f, Newbury Group 3 in September but this rates a tough enough ask. Looked a potential top-notcher in 2022; last month's reappearance run was possibly needed.
11th	12 11th (12) (28/1 -27%) Believing		28 28/1(-27%)																															(12) Believing 28/1, Smart filly who scored twice during the spring (latterly a Group 3) and well suited by the strong pace when adding Pontefract listed event (6f) to her tally in August. Fine third in Sprint Cup at Haydock 6 weeks ago and she's well deserving of her place in this line up. Personal best when third in Group 1 Sprint Cup; still more required but not discounted.
12th	13 12th (13) (80/1 -60%) Magical Sunset		80 80/1(-60%)																															(13) Magical Sunset 80/1, Likeable type who handles the mud very well, as shown when winning Group 3 at Goodwood (7f) in August. Couldn't replicate that at Doncaster a month later and she's a very optimistic runner starting out for new stable now. Soft/heavy ground would suit but plenty to find on form for new yard in first Group 1.
13th	14 13th (14) (18/1 +28%) Ocean Quest		18 18/1(+28%)																															(14) Ocean Quest 18/1, Smart filly who was fourth in this year's Commonwealth Cup and took her form up a notch when readily landing Naas Group 3 over this trip in August. Not ideally placed when fourth in Renaissance Stakes at the Curragh since and she's proven with plenty of give underfoot. Beaten favourite in Curragh Group 3 but earlier fourth in C&D Group 1 gives her claims.
14th	3 14th (3) (11/1 -22%) Rohaan		11 11/1(-22%)																															(3) Rohaan 11/1, Smart performer who goes particularly well at this venue (5-time C&D winner) and confirmed more positive signs from Ayr Gold Cup when landing class 2 C&D handicap 2 weeks ago. Finished an unlucky fourth in this race 12 months ago and not underestimated despite having bit to find on these terms. Comes alive at Ascot and won handicap here two weeks ago; handles the mud; each-way claims.
15th	5 15th (5) (18/1 +45%) Saint Lawrence		18 18/1(+45%)																															(5) Saint Lawrence 18/1, Snapped losing sequence following yard switch/refitted with blinkers when landing the Wokingham at the Royal Meeting back in June. More than backed that up when third in Group 1 Prix Maurice de Gheest next start but does need to shrug off a lesser run in last month's Sprint Cup at Haydock. Wokingham winner before third in French Group 1; below par last time but could bounce back.

LTO Selection:

A somewhat unlucky loser (runner-up) in the Prix de la Foret last month when not getting a clear run inside the final furlong, KINROSS can gain compensation on the drop in trip and follow up last year's emphatic success in this contest. Ground conditions should be ideal for Ralph Beckett's charge as he looks to give Frankie Dettori a Group 1-winning send off on his Ascot swan song. A comfortable winner of the Park Stakes at Doncaster, C&D winner Sandrine is of interest now back over 6f, while Spycatcher and last year's sixth Vadream should enjoy conditions. Not beaten far in the Haydock Spring Cup, Believing is a key player, along with Mill Stream, who has had a very progressive season.

An impressive winner of this race 12 months ago, KINROSS has looked as good as ever this time around, landing a pair of Group 2s prior to a solid second in the Foret at Longchamp on his latest outing 3 weeks ago. With forecast conditions looking firmly in his favour he can make a bold bid to defend his crown. Vadream is another who will relish this ground and is feared, with last year's fourth Rohaan and Sandrine completing the shortlist.

Everything looks in place for a bold bid from KINROSS to win back-to-back runnings of this Group 1, with Sandrine the main threat.

1	3 1st (3) (3.5/1 +7%) Guildenstern		3.5 3.5/1(+7%)																															(3) Guildenstern 3.5/1, Twice-raced colt. First run since leaving Joseph G. Murphy when eleventh of 23 in minor event at the Curragh (7f, soft, 11/1) 28 days ago. Open to progress. Second to subsequent Group 2 winner Diego Velazquez on debut, ran in the Goffs Million.
2	11 2nd (11) (33/1 -65%) South Pole		33 33/1(-65%)																															(11) South Pole 33/1, Tenth of 12 in maiden at Navan (8f, soft, 7/2) on debut 17 days ago. Blinkers quickly reached for. Cost 650,000gns a yearling, blinkered now after making a low-key introduction at Navan.
3	6 3rd (6) (2.25/1 -29%) Master Of The Hunt		2.25 2.25/1(-29%)																															(6) Master Of The Hunt 2.25/1, Promising individual. 4/11, third of 5 in maiden at Listowel (7.1f, soft) 32 days ago. That was a shade disappointing given his debut promise but blinkers are now on and he remains capable of better. Very much the one to beat. Third to top-class Henry Longfellow, flopped at Listowel, blinkered now, may make amends.
4	12 4th (12) (2.5/1 +29%) Spoken Truth		2.5 2.5/1(+29%)																															(12) Spoken Truth 2.5/1, Foaled April 18. Frankel colt. Brother to very smart winner up to 1m Homeless Songs and half-brother to smart winner up to 1¼m Reve de Vol. Lot to like on paper. Noteworthy as a brother to the trainer's Irish 1,000 Guineas winner Homeless Songs.
5th	2 5th (2) (10/1 +55%) Autumn Winter		10 10/1(+55%)																															(2) Autumn Winter 10/1, Foaled March 22. Galileo colt. Newcomer for powerful connections and one of 3 for the yard. Dam North American turf Grade 2 winner, Seamie Heffernan rides Master Of The Hunt.
6th	9 6th (9) (16/1 -33%) Rocking Tree		16 16/1(-33%)																															(9) Rocking Tree 16/1, Thrice-raced gelding. 9/2, second of 12 in maiden at Navan (8f, soft) 17 days ago. Yard having good spell. Getting better with each run. On the upgrade judging by short head second to the Aidan O'Brien-trained Euphoric at Navan.
7th	10 7th (10) (13/2 +35%) Shamsuddin		6.5 13/2(+35%)																															(10) Shamsuddin 13/2, Stepped up on debut run when second of 10 in maiden at Punchestown (8f, good to soft, 11/2) 38 days ago. Has an edge over Rocking Tree on Punchestown form but that rival seems to have improved.
8th	1 8th (1) (40/1 -150%) Auguste Lumiere		40 40/1(-150%)																															(1) Auguste Lumiere 40/1, Thrice-raced colt. Fourth of 13 in maiden (16/1) at the Curragh (6f, soft) 14 days ago. Three Curragh runs at different trips, looked in need of further when trying 6f on latest.
9th	7 9th (7) (33/1 +0%) Northern Sonas		33 33/1(+0%)																															(7) Northern Sonas 33/1, Foaled May 4. €26,000 yearling, Profitable colt. Half-brother to 8.3f-10.4f winner Taqleed and 2¼m winner Mashaari, both useful. Dam 7f (at 2 yrs) to 1½m (Ribblesdale Stakes) winner. Dam won the Ribblesdale/half-sister to Group 1 winners Power and Curvy, in good hands.
10th	5 10th (5) (33/1 +34%) Hemight		33 33/1(+34%)																															(5) Hemight 33/1, Foaled March 4. Zoffany colt. Half-brother to useful winner up to 12.5f Replenish. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner out of very smart 5.5f-1m winner Miss Satamixa. Half-brother to a four-time French winner, dam a 5f AW winner by Cape Cross.

LTO Selection:

---

SHAMSUDDIN took a good step forward from his Curragh debut when beating all bar Ocean Conquest at Punchestown earlier this month with Rocking Tree over four lengths back in fourth. The latter has since gone close at Navan and hopefully Johnny Murtagh's charge can cope with these much softer conditions. Master Of The Hunt shaped well on debut when third behind smart stablemate Henry Longfellow at the Curragh but having failed at long odds-on in Listowel, is now fitted with blinkers. Guildenstern also made a bright start in a Curragh maiden but subsequently struggled on soft ground. Spoken Truth catches the eye on pedigree being a brother to Homeless Songs, while Autumn Winter and Ocean Manifest are others to consider on debut.

It was a little disappointing to see MASTER OF THE HIUNT fail to land the odds at Listowel given the way he shaped on debut but his leading yard apply blinkers and there should be plenty more to come. He can make amends with newcomers feared most in the shape of Spoken Truth and Autumn Winter, the latter a stablemate of the selection.

It may be worth taking a chance on GUILDENSTERN who chased home the talented Diego Velasquez before contesting the Goffs Million

Good hurdle prospect. Beat subsequent winner in 2m2f Sligo bumper (good); half-brother won on hurdling debut.

17	17 |U| (17) (100/1 +60%) Calendar House		100 100/1(+60%)																															(17) Calendar House 100/1, Well held in 2 bumpers and offered little sent hurdling at Fairyhouse (20.5f, soft) 14 days ago.

10th	8 10th (8) (125/1 +38%) Kuriosa		125 125/1(+38%)																															(8) Kuriosa 125/1, 150/1, fifteenth of 20 in novice hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy) on NH debut 22 days ago. Tailed off at Gowran on last month's debut..

LTO Selection:

A PENNY A HUNDRED made a winning start in a Sligo bumper in August and the runner-up franked the form at Sedgefield earlier in the month. Her half-brother won on hurdling debut and she can emulate him although her ability to handle heavy ground has to be taken on trust. Liberated Light won a maiden over 1m6f at Killarney and has run respectably in a couple of handicaps. A half-brother to crack bumper horse A Dream To Share, he is one to note on hurdling debut. Cut The Rope has been off since January when he made all to win the first four-year-old bumper of the year. He handled testing ground then and is another hurdling debutant to consider.

A PENNY A HUNDRED is in the best possible hands and having quickened clear of a subsequent winner in a Sligo bumper on her debut in August, she makes most appeal. Cut The Rope also won his sole outing in bumpers and has to be feared now making the switch to hurdling, while Chicago Storm ought to improve on his opening effort at Roscommon and may have a say in proceedings, too.

Little depth to this maiden and Sligo bumper winner A PENNY A HUNDRED can score if handling the ground. Liberated Light is noted

1	2 1st (2) (5/6 -4%) Farnoge		0.833333 5/6(-4%)																															(2) Farnoge 5/6, Camelot gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including smart hurdler/useful chaser Hawk High (15f-17f winner, by High Chaparral). Runner-up on his sole outing in Irish points and had a bit up his sleeve when going one better in a Uttoxeter bumper on Rules debut in March. Good hurdle prospect. Bumper winner who looks to have a very bright future for his top trainer.
2	9 2nd (9) (5/2 +38%) Flying Fortune		2.5 5/2(+38%)																															(9) Flying Fortune 5/2, Dual bumper winner who failed to meet expectations after 5 months off (treated for post-race ataxia) when only sixth on Worcester hurdling debut 22 days ago but will improve. Two-time bumper winner; open to improvement in jumping department on second hurdle start.
3	7 3rd (7) (80/1 +20%) No Mean Feat		80 80/1(+20%)																															(7) No Mean Feat 80/1, Pulled up sole start in points and just poor form to date under Rules. Soundly beaten on both hurdle starts and it's probably best to look elsewhere.
4	1 4th (1) (50/1 -213%) Atreides		50 50/1(-213%)																															(1) Atreides 50/1, Ran to a fair level on his hurdling/Rules debut at Down Royal but has failed to match that form both outings subsequently. First run for yard after leaving Colm A. Murphy. Promising third on hurdle debut in June but failed to shine the next twice; stable debut.
5th	5 5th (5) (66/1 -200%) Hour Star		66 66/1(-200%)																															(5) Hour Star 66/1, Showed a bit on the first of 2 bumper starts but is probably one for later on. Close second on bumper debut then well beaten next time; others are more compelling.
6th	8 6th (8) (7/1 +36%) Spinnaker Blue		7 7/1(+36%)																															(8) Spinnaker Blue 7/1, Blue Bresil mare. Half-sister to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Whisperinthebreeze, stayed 25f, and fairly useful hurdler Silver Kayf. Bred for longer trips but still warrants respect on debut for top outfit. Pedigree catches the eye and she's in top hands; no surprise to see a good run on debut.
7th	10 7th (10) (66/1 -100%) Grumpy Rosie		66 66/1(-100%)																															(10) Grumpy Rosie 66/1, Showed a bit when a well-held second in a bumper at Exeter on debut but has finished tailed off all 3 outings over hurdles (returned lame on latest outing). Tailed off on her three hurdle starts and she's hard to fancy.
8th	6 8th (6) (10/1 +9%) Jasmin De Grugy		10 10/1(+9%)																															(6) Jasmin De Grugy 10/1, €82,000 3-y-o, Masked Marvel gelding. Half-brother to French 1½m-15f bumper winner Girlish de Grugy. Dam winning hurdler/chaser up to 2½m in France. In frame only completed start in Irish points (Apr 16). Market should point the way. Ex-pointer; improvement needed on rules debut but trainer among winners; watch the betting.
9th	3 9th (3) (50/1 -52%) Zufal		50 50/1(-52%)																															(3) Zufal 50/1, Showed first form when fourth of 12 in novice hurdle over C&D in May, nearest finish. Remains to be seen if he's able to back that up. Left previous form miles behind when fourth over C&D in May; each-way contender.
10th	4 10th (4) (20/1 -25%) Great Threat		20 20/1(-25%)																															(4) Great Threat 20/1, Showed fair form at best in 2 hurdle/chase starts in France. Has joined a yard that has started the autumn well and needs keeping a close eye on in the betting. Showed ability over hurdles/fences in France; each-way possible on British debut.

LTO Selection:

---

Paul Nicholls has won two of the previous three renewals so Uttoxeter bumper winner Farnoge must be respected with that in mind. A chance, however, is taken on JASMIN DE GRUGY. The son of Masked Marvel showed little in the pointing sphere, but he's bred to relish this switch to hurdles and might not have to be anything out of the ordinary. Others to note include Flying Fortune and Spinnaker Blue.

FARNOGE won his sole outing in bumpers with fair bit in hand and, being a half-brother to smart hurdler Hawk High, he makes plenty of appeal now his attentions are turned to jumping. Flying Fortune was a shade underwhelming on her recent hurdling debut at Worcester but is clearly capable of better based on her bumper exploits, with newcomer Spinnaker Blue also worthy of respect.

This could well be a good opportunity for the Paul Nicholls-trained bumper winner FARNOGE to make it 2-2 under rules.

6	6 (6) (16/1 -78%) Mattella		16 16/1(-78%)																															(6) Mattella 16/1, Mattmu filly. Half-sister to 5f winner Canaria Prince. Dam 5f-6f winner who stayed 7f out of winning half-sister to useful sprinter Angus Newz. Market can prove a good guide for this newcomer. Half-sister to two 5f winners for the yard but may be best watched on this belated debut.
1	1 1st (1) (10/3 -48%) Hamlet		3.333333 10/3(-48%)																															(1) Hamlet 10/3, 11/2, won 10-runner minor event at Southwell (7.1f) on debut 45 days ago, always holding on. Much respected despite conceding weight all round now. Won modest race at Southwell on debut; carries penalty but open to improvement; respected.
2	5 2nd (5) (9/4 -80%) Ludden Lass		2.25 9/4(-80%)																															(5) Ludden Lass 9/4, Fair maiden who was off for four months before posting a good third of 11 in minor event (18/1) at Southwell (7.1f) 11 days ago. The form pick. Placed over 7f the last twice and 6f can suit; unraced on slow ground; leading form claims.
3	11 3rd (11) (4/1 +20%) Sixties Chic		4 4/1(+20%)																															(11) Sixties Chic 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Off 15 months before fading fourth of 12 in maiden at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago. In the mix if, as expected, building on that effort. Fair fourth on belated reappearance at Windsor; has the ability to have a big say.
4	4 4th (4) (11/2 +83%) Nightout		5.5 11/2(+83%)																															(4) Nightout 11/2, Modest gelding. 14/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Leicester (7f, good) 11 days ago. Needs to bounce back. His form has deteriorated and he's been struggling to get competitive in modest handicaps.
5th	9 5th (9) (18/1 -50%) La Jolie Fille		18 18/1(-50%)																															(9) La Jolie Fille 18/1, 25/1, staying-on fourth of 8 in minor event at Redcar (6f, good) on debut 32 days ago. Can build on it. No forlorn hope. Last month's debut at Redcar wasn't devoid of promise; not ruled out each-way.
6th	2 6th (2) (66/1 +0%) Copper Burn		66 66/1(+0%)																															(2) Copper Burn 66/1, 100/1, eighth of 9 in maiden at Redcar (7f, good to firm) on debut 24 days ago. Lots more is required. Well beaten at 100-1 on last month's debut at Redcar and hard to fancy on the back of that.
7th	10 7th (10) (200/1 -100%) Maddisonelle		200 200/1(-100%)																															(10) Maddisonelle 200/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Ninth of 10 in seller (125/1) at Beverley (5f, good). Off 158 days. First run for yard after leaving Ann Duffield with work to do. Well beaten at triple-figure odds on her three starts for Ann Duffield; stable debut.
8th	8 8th (8) (6/1 +82%) Button Bay		6 6/1(+82%)																															(8) Button Bay 6/1, 6,500 gns yearling, Camacho filly. Closely related to 1m/9f winner Bumblebee and half-sister to 8.5f/9f winner Grey Spirit. Betting can prove a good indicator. 6,500gns y'ling; makes debut with Newmarket yard in good form; betting may be informative.
9th	3 9th (3) (125/1 -150%) Blue Jay Way		125 125/1(-150%)																															(3) Blue Jay Way 125/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, seventh of 8 in handicap (25/1) at Hamilton (8.3f, soft). Off 98 days. Back down in trip. Blinkered for 1st time now with something to prove. Has shown very little on his three starts this year; another change of headgear today.
10th	7 10th (7) (100/1 -203%) Silveeanna		100 100/1(-203%)																															(7) Silveeanna 100/1, Hooded, last of 5 in maiden (125/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW) on debut. Off 21 months. First run for yard after leaving Patrick Leech with her fitness to prove. Finished last at 125-1 on debut in January 2022 and absent since.

LTO Selection:

---

LUDDEN LASS finished third behind a well-bred John & Thady Gosden newcomer at Southwell last time, which signalled she has taken a step forward as that effort came after a 122-day break. Therefore, the three-year-old should be able to shed her maiden tag at the sixth time of asking. The main danger is Hamlet, who was victorious on debut and should give it a good go even with a 7lb penalty to shoulder, while any market support for Button Bay should also be noted.

LUDDEN LASS returned from a lay-off with an encouraging Southwell third and looks to have been found a good opportunity to get off the mark in a novice where a few have question marks against them. Southwell-scorer Hamlet is feared most under his penalty ahead of the lightly-raced Sixties Chic.

Preference is for LUDDEN LASS, who has run well to be placed over 7f the last twice and could benefit from this drop back to 6f.

1	4 1st (4) (22/1 +67%) Poptronic		22 22/1(+67%)																															(4) Poptronic 22/1, Big improver in first half of 2022, completing her hat-trick in 10f Newcastle Group 3 last summer. Took form to another level when edging out Sea Silk Road in Lancashire Oaks at Haydock before her limitations were exposed at the top table. Lancashire Oaks winner; below form at 1m6f on good to soft (unraced on worse) last time.
2	8 2nd (8) (6/1 +14%) Bluestocking		6 6/1(+14%)																															(8) Bluestocking 6/1, Shaped well when placed behind Warm Heart in Newbury listed race/Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot before collared only close home by Savethelastdance in the Irish Oaks. Good fourth in Yorkshire Oaks since but a shade disappointing she didn't land the odds back in grade at Chester latest. Cheekpieces on. Close calls include Irish Oaks (soft); cheekpieces now; well capable of a prominent finish.
3	9 3rd (9) (3/1 +14%) Jackie Oh		3 3/1(+14%)																															(9) Jackie Oh 3/1, Disappointing when backed to land big-field handicap at Royal Ascot but hasn't looked back since, landing Group 3 Rathbride Stakes at Gowran before a pair of excellent runner-up efforts, latterly coming up just a neck shy in the Prix de l'Opera at Longchamp. Up in trip, which she should get. Major player if she stays this new trip and there's a pretty good chance of that.
4	1 4th (1) (12/1 -33%) Above The Curve		12 12/1(-33%)																															(1) Above The Curve 12/1, Group 1 winner at 3 and added another pattern success to her CV when seeing off subsequent Prix Rothschild winner Mqse de Sevigne in Saint-Cloud Group 2 in May. Sound-enough efforts in defeat since, just keeping on at the one pace on first crack at 11.9f at Longchamp. Cheekpieces reached for. Classy but her sixth of eight in the 1m4f Vermeille does not augur well; first headgear.
5th	2 5th (2) (11/2 -38%) Free Wind		5.5 11/2(-38%)																															(2) Free Wind 11/2, Very smart mare who won at York on her return and she returned to the very pick of her form when a head-second in the Group 1 Yorkshire Oaks in August. Never really a factor pitched into the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe last time but demands respect back against her own sex. Beaten a head in the Yorkshire Oaks; well held facing a stiff task in the Arc de Triomphe.
6th	10 6th (10) (66/1 +6%) Red Riding Hood		66 66/1(+6%)																															(10) Red Riding Hood 66/1, Improved for positive tactics and or a tongue tie in recent starts, doubling career tally in Group 3 company in August. Ran well on the figures when fifth in Group 2 level latest but this is asking a lot. In much better form lately but still needs to show something very new.
7th	7 7th (7) (5/1 -11%) Time Lock		5 5/1(-11%)																															(7) Time Lock 5/1, Landed the odds in listed company at Craon in September and displayed a striking turn of foot when supplementing that in Group 3 Princess Royal Stakes at Newmarket. Soft ground could blunt that asset but she remains of interest on the back of that big career best. Has clicked at 1m4f on good to soft (France) and good to firm (Newmarket) last two runs.
8th	12 8th (12) (16/1 +0%) Running Lion		16 16/1(+0%)																															(12) Running Lion 16/1, Impressive when easily completing a 4-timer in the 1¼m Pretty Polly (soft) in May. Back on track after her flop in the French Oaks when placed twice since albeit she looked stretched by 12f behind Time Look at Newmarket. 3rd to Time Lock when upped to 1m4f last time, failing to prove stamina; goes well on soft.
9th	11 9th (11) (8/1 +43%) Rue Boissonade		8 8/1(+43%)																															(11) Rue Boissonade 8/1, Won maiden at Saint-Cloud in April and Prix de Malleret at Longchamp in July. Better form when fourth on latter course last 2 starts, in Prix Vermeille (2 lengths behind Warm Heart) and Prix de Royallieu (beaten 4¾ lengths by Sea Silk Road, staying on well from rear). Good test will suit. Will see the trip out well; big player if getting more luck in running than last time.
10th	6 10th (6) (20/1 -25%) Term Of Endearment		20 20/1(-25%)																															(6) Term Of Endearment 20/1, Lightly-raced 4-y-o but very effective in the mud and she arrives on the back of a career-best effort when landing Group 3 Give Thanks Stakes at Cork 2 months ago. Another jolt of progress required but she's likely to give it a good go. Won Group 3 at Cork on latest start; needs better to win this but well equipped for a slog.
11th	13 11th (13) (100/1 +33%) Sea Of Roses		100 100/1(+33%)																															(13) Sea Of Roses 100/1, Useful filly who returned to action with a good second in Group 3 at Saint Cloud. No threat in the Musidora/Oaks next 2 starts and has done nothing really since to think she's up to this class. Stays 1m4f and acts on soft (has never encountered the two together) but plenty to find.
12th	14 12th (14) (14/1 -17%) Sweet Memories		14 14/1(-17%)																															(14) Sweet Memories 14/1, Came a long way in short space of time in the summer, winning 1¼m Newbury novice in July and producing a near-smart performance on only her third start when following up in 1½m listed event on July course. Second in Group 3 company since and may still have a bigger effort in her with headgear on. 2nd to impressive Time Lock at Newmarket; back on more testing ground with first headgear.
13th	5 13th (5) (40/1 -21%) Stay Alert		40 40/1(-21%)																															(5) Stay Alert 40/1, Developed into a smart performer at 3, the highlight being a Group 3 success at Newbury. Hold-up tactics haven't been as effective in very good company this term, only really giving her true running once when runner-up in a first-time tongue tie in the Pretty Polly. 2nd in a 1m2f Group 1 in July; more to prove at 1m4f and on soft ground.
14th	3 14th (3) (33/1 +18%) One For Bobby		33 33/1(+18%)																															(3) One For Bobby 33/1, Improved performer for Hughie Morrison this term, successful in listed company at Nottingham in May and gained Group 3 breakthrough in Vichy 2 months later. Sound 5½ lengths sixth of 8 to Mqse De Sevigne in Prix Jean Romanet at Deauville latest and now back up in trip with tongue tie back on. More to prove at this level, over 1m4f and after latest start; her 2022 tongue-tie returns.

LTO Selection:

---

TIME LOCK seems impervious to the state of the ground and, having easily brushed aside Sweet Memories (second) and Running Lion (third) when landing the Dubai Stakes at Newmarket last month, she is likely to make a bold bid to extend her winning run to three on the bounce. Obviously, this is a stiffer test and the challenges presented by the less exposed Jackie Oh and high-class Free Wind are afforded the utmost respect, with the latter looking the pick of that pair given the Gosden's fine record in this race. Rue Boissonade's French form has plenty of depth and she, too, is a must for consideration.

The Classic generation has a tremendous record in this race and JACKIE OH may enhance it further. She's untried over middle-distances on deep ground but she certainly promises to cope with it and her neck-second in the Prix de l'Opera at Longchamp suggests she's better than ever. Free Wind and Above The Curve are established at the top table against their own sex and head the opposition.

French challenger RUE BOISSONADE (nap) made late gains in Group 1s on good to soft on her last two starts. Jackie Oh is feared most.

1	3 1st (3) (5/2 +69%) Sli Na Ghealai		2.5 5/2(+69%)																															(3) Sli Na Ghealai 5/2, Made the most of a good opportunity in 8-runner maiden at Down Royal (7f, good to firm) 43 days ago, driven clear. Opening mark could have been kinder, though. Won a Down Royal maiden over 7f last time; the ground was good then but has handled soft.
2	4 2nd (4) (5/2 +17%) Basilah Bear		2.5 5/2(+17%)																															(4) Basilah Bear 5/2, Improved to get off the mark in 13-runner nursery at Naas (8f, good to soft, 3/1) 37 days ago, cosily. Hit with 8 lb rise but may do better still. Off the mark in a Naas 1m nursery last time; raised 8lb for that; has handled soft ground.
3	2 3rd (2) (10/3 -21%) Sun Never Sets		3.333333 10/3(-21%)																															(2) Sun Never Sets 10/3, Off the mark in 6-runner nursery (2/1) at Bellewstown (7.6f, heavy) 23 days ago, digging deep. Ought to give another good account. Off the mark in a Bellewstown nursery on heavy; up 4lb but same rider aboard and solid.
4	5 4th (5) (6/1 -9%) Tai Tam Bay		6 6/1(-9%)																															(5) Tai Tam Bay 6/1, Creditable fourth of 14 in nursery at Dundalk (7f, 7/1) 15 days ago. Should remain competitive. Placed in nurseries at Cork and Dundalk last twice; handles this ground so a chance.
5th	1 5th (1) (9/2 -125%) Glamorously		4.5 9/2(-125%)																															(1) Glamorously 9/2, Very much going the right way now, following up her Navan win in 13-runner nursery at Naas (5.9f) last week. Fancied to complete the hat-trick. Won the Birdcatcher nursery at Naas a week ago; up 7lb and this new trip is a question.

LTO Selection:

---

A small but competitive field with all bar one of the quintet having won last time out and perhaps GLAMOROUSLY can complete a hat-trick. The daughter of Mehmas hails from a yard in top form at present and should be suited by this step up in trip after needing every yard of the six furlongs at Naas last weekend. She's proven on testing ground and is now reunited with 10lb claimer Keithen Kennedy who was aboard when successful previously at Navan. Sun Never Sets overcame the inconvenience of a slipped saddle when successful on heavy ground at Bellewstown last month, while Sli Na Ghealai has form on various ground conditions and now tackles handicap company for the first time after making all over this trip at Down Royal.

GLAMOROUSLY has been transformed by blinkers and looks up to completing the hat-trick. Sun Never Sets showed a gutsy attitude to open her account at Bellewstown recently and is narrowly preferred to fellow last-time-out scorer Basilah Bear for the forecast spot.

SUN NEVER SETS scored snugly at Bellewstown on testing ground and has those conditions again today, so is selected.

1	6 1st (6) (9/2 +55%) Miss Pronunciation		4.5 9/2(+55%)																															(6) Miss Pronunciation 9/2, Lightly-raced maiden. 28/1, below form twelfth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy). Off 8 months. Tongue strap back on. Should improve. Unexposed and open to improvement though market likely best guide after 9 months off.
2	3 2nd (3) (4/1 -45%) Hard Rain		4 4/1(-45%)																															(3) Hard Rain 4/1, 4/1, creditable third of 6 in novice chase at Sligo (21.2f, heavy) 24 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Back down in trip. Player. Career-best when winning over C&D in July off 95; another high required off this mark.
3	13 3rd (13) (6/1 +40%) Go Gill Go		6 6/1(+40%)																															(13) Go Gill Go 6/1, One win from 22 NH runs. Eighteen runs since last win in 2021. 12/1, shaped as if needing run when seventh of 12 in handicap hurdle at Roscommon (15.9f, soft) 26 days ago. Shortlist material. Better for last month's comeback run but still hard to see her playing a major role.
4	14 4th (14) (25/1 +38%) Fly De Megaudais		25 25/1(+38%)																															(14) Fly De Megaudais 25/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable sixth of 11 in handicap chase at Clonmel (18.2f, heavy, 22/1) 23 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Quite some time since he last won and would be a surprise winner.
5th	7 5th (7) (20/1 -100%) Cosmic Rock		20 20/1(-100%)																															(7) Cosmic Rock 20/1, C&D winner. Career best when winning 17-runner handicap hurdle at Listowel (20f, good, 10/1), driven out. Off over 2 years. Fragile sort won two of three starts in 2021; ground to suit and runs well fresh.
6th	8 6th (8) (22/1 -144%) Dark Image		22 22/1(-144%)																															(8) Dark Image 22/1, 33/1, creditable eighth of 15 in novice hurdle at Killarney (17f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Open to improvement. Could have more to offer now entering handicaps but others preferred here.
7th	15 7th (15) (25/1 +11%) Ventnor		25 25/1(+11%)																															(15) Ventnor 25/1, Remains a maiden after 20 NH runs. 6/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (19.1f, soft) 163 days ago, tailed off when pulled up before 2 out. Bits and pieces of form on soft so no forlorn hope.
8th	2 8th (2) (10/1 +29%) Spring Meadow		10 10/1(+29%)																															(2) Spring Meadow 10/1, 11/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving Nigel Twiston-Davies when eleventh of 13 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (20f, soft) 33 days ago. Hard to know what to make of him at the moment but yard's runners always respected here.
9th	1 9th (1) (9/1 -13%) It'sallabouteve		9 9/1(-13%)																															(1) It'sallabouteve 9/1, C&D winner. Pulled up in novice chase (7/1) at this course (19.7f, good to soft) on debut over fences 149 days ago, pulled up before next. Switches from chase to hurdles. Best form here and likes soft/heavy; back from summer off and can't be ruled out.
10th	5 10th (5) (18/1 -100%) Derridae		18 18/1(-100%)																															(5) Derridae 18/1, C&D winner. Ninth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.2f, good to soft, 22/1) 10 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Tailed off on last week's Punchestown comeback and hard to see her featuring here.
11th	11 11th (11) (17/2 +6%) Young Fitzy		8.5 17/2(+6%)																															(11) Young Fitzy 17/2, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 7/2, below form sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Galway (16.7f, heavy) 18 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Tongue strap back on. Handicapper relenting but still others preferred.
12th	10 12th (10) (13/2 +46%) Everystep Oftheway		6.5 13/2(+46%)																															(10) Everystep Oftheway 13/2, 6/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, below form eighth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (21.1f, good to soft) 172 days ago. Down in trip. Looks competitive on form. Absent since May but not one to rule out off this mark on prior Naas third.
13th	12 13th (12) (50/1 -127%) Black Vega		50 50/1(-127%)																															(12) Black Vega 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Fourteenth of 16 in novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, soft, 200/1) 28 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Makes handicap hurdle debut. 4yo has yet to make much of an impression; tongue tie fitted for handicap debut.
9	9 |PU| (9) (18/1 +36%) Innellan Shore		18 18/1(+36%)																															(9) Innellan Shore 18/1, Below form eighth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (17.8f, good to soft, 20/1). Off 12 months. Opening two handicap efforts this time last year leave him with plenty to find.

LTO Selection:

---

HARD RAIN won a similar contest by nine lengths on yielding to soft ground here in July and the form got a timely boost when the runner-up scored at Thurles on Thursday. The selection ran poorly over hurdles on his next start but comes here on the back of two placed efforts over fences and should give a good account of himself. Young Fitzy has won twice on testing ground and comes into this in reasonable form. His sixth at Galway after a summer break was encouraging and, although well beaten back there since, he's capable of contending on the pick of his form. Miss Pronunciation had a good run in a Punchestown maiden last year but has been lightly raced since. She didn't land a blow on handicap debut when last seen on Thyestes day at Gowran but is very unexposed and the market will be a useful guide to her chance.

GO GILL GO shaped as if needing the run at Roscommon last month so she could be worth chancing off a career-low mark. Hard Rain is feared most ahead of Everystep Oftheway.

Few appeal so perhaps the long absent COSMIC ROCK, a previous C&D winner in similar conditions, can make another winning return

1	4 1st (4) (10/3 +26%) Take Your Time		3.333333 10/3(+26%)																															(4) Take Your Time 10/3, Looked very much one to keep on side when landing back-to-back staying handicaps over hurdles during second half of 2021. However, not managed to scale same heights since over timber, sixth of 7 in handicap at Taunton (23.9f) in April. Goes chasing now (winner only start in points). Recent hurdle exploits disappointing but is a point winner and top yard perseveres.
2	1 2nd (1) (3/1 +10%) Investment Manager		3 3/1(+10%)																															(1) Investment Manager 3/1, Back-to-back C&D winner this summer and continued in good form since, again finding only one too good returned to this C&D 3 weeks ago. Mark has crept up a little more but expected to give another good account. In good form here of late, including C&D second on soft 19 days ago; should go well again.
3	5 3rd (5) (10/3 -21%) Rock Of Star		3.333333 10/3(-21%)																															(5) Rock Of Star 10/3, Hurdles winner who took his form up a notch over fences last season, landing back-to-back handicap chase contests at Chepstow (23.6f) in the spring. Had bit in hand latterly and he could yet rate higher still this term. Respected. Ended last term with two chase wins at Chepstow on soft.
4	7 4th (7) (11/4 +45%) Back Yourself		2.75 11/4(+45%)																															(7) Back Yourself 11/4, Made quick-fire switch to handicaps over hurdles following pair of in-the-frame runs in novice company and much-improved when running out 6-length winner at Ffos Las (23.9f, soft) in May. Joined new yard ahead of return/chase debut and he's respected from 7 lb higher mark. Won on 3m handicap hurdle debut for Victor Dartnall; goes chasing for new yard; player.
5th	2 5th (2) (9/1 +36%) Crossing The Bar		9 9/1(+36%)																															(2) Crossing The Bar 9/1, Successful twice over hurdles at Plumpton (both at 25f) during second half of last season. Made mistakes and ran below best when fifth at Worcester when last seen in May and the betting may prove a useful guide now attentions switch to larger obstacles back from 5 months off. Dual 3m1f hurdle winner last term but off since below-par fifth in May; chase debut.

LTO Selection:

---

INVESTMENT MANAGER has been unlucky to hit the crossbar the last twice, including in a class 3 event over C&D earlier in the month, and he is only 2lb higher. The son of Nathaniel can be rewarded for his consistency by getting his head back in front. Back Yourself is an interesting contender on his first start for the David Pipe yard after being victorious on his handicap bow over the smaller obstacles and he warrants a market check on his chase debut. Crossing The Bar completes the shortlist.

BACK YOURSELF made a mockery of his opening mark when successful over hurdles at Ffos Las back in May and, now starting out for his new yard, it would come as no surprise were he capable of better still tackling larger obstacles for the first time. Investment Manager and Rock of Star are just a couple of others to consider.

The percentage call is INVESTMENT MANAGER, as he arrives fit and in form in a race for which his rivals are returning from breaks.

1	1 1st (1) (3/1 +0%) Oso Rapido		3 3/1(+0%)																															(1) Oso Rapido 3/1, C&D winner. Good second of 13 in handicap at York (7f, heavy) 8 days ago, just holding on (first past the post but subsequently disqualified for edging left). Expected to be bang there despite a 3 lb rise. First past the post at York last Friday (demoted due to interference); key player up 3lb.
2	6 2nd (6) (5/2 +50%) Ramiro		2.5 5/2(+50%)																															(6) Ramiro 5/2, Latest win at Chester in September. Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap (7/2) at Ayr (6f, heavy) 9 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. Won at Chester last month and his subsequent fifth at Ayr was another good run.
3	5 3rd (5) (5/1 -25%) Music Society		5 5/1(-25%)																															(5) Music Society 5/1, C&D winner. Below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Haydock (6f, soft, 18/1) 21 days ago. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Something to prove regarding current form but his record at this track catches the eye.
4	3 4th (3) (11/2 +39%) Fortamour		5.5 11/2(+39%)																															(3) Fortamour 11/2, Latest win at Ripon in September. 22/1, below form tenth of 17 in handicap at York (7f, soft) 28 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Ripon brings out the best in him; remains to be seen how he fares on his first visit here.
5th	2 5th (2) (10/3 +39%) Broken Spear		3.333333 10/3(+39%)																															(2) Broken Spear 10/3, Latest win at Leicester in May. Respectable 3¾ lengths third of 8 to Ramiro in handicap at Chester (7f, heavy, 12/1) 21 days ago. Needs consideirng. Back to form when third at Chester last time and he relishes testing ground.

LTO Selection:

---

MUSCIKA bounced back to form in good style with a three-length success at Epsom in August and he was raised 6lb for that effort, which keeps him feasibly treated on his previous form. Therefore, the nine-year-old can make it a double. Broken Spear wasn't disgraced in third over 7f at Chester last month and he could appreciate the return to the trip he last won over in May. Of the remainder, Oso Rapido makes the most appeal.

C&D winner OSO RAPIDO lost the race in the stewards' room when demoted to runner-up at York last time so is fancied to gain compensation in this tight-knit sprint. In-form pair Broken Spear and Ramiro can both have a say too and chase home the selection in that order.

Having made his headway perhaps quicker than ideal prior to fading into fifth at Ayr recently, the in-form RAMIRO earns the vote.

1	1 1st (1) (2/1 -33%) Atlantic Coast		2 2/1(-33%)																															(1) Atlantic Coast 2/1, Promising sort who made a winning debut in a Curragh maiden (7f) in August and acquitted himself with credit when third of 7 to Diego Velazquez in Group 2 over 1m here 6 weeks ago. That experience won't have been wasted on him and big player with prospect of more to come. Has a leading chance on his Group 2 third to Diego Velasquez with the smart Deepone fourth.
2	2 2nd (2) (11/2 +66%) Bright Stripes		5.5 11/2(+66%)																															(2) Bright Stripes 11/2, Thrice-raced winner. Won 14-runner maiden (4/9) at Naas (7f, good to soft) 37 days ago, driven out. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Should have more to offer but this understandably more demanding. Odds-on Naas maiden winner after third in a valuable sales race, faces a stiff task here.
3	5 3rd (5) (5/4 +34%) Military		1.25 5/4(+34%)																															(5) Military 5/4, Promising individual. 9/4, 2¾ lengths fourth of 12 to Alyanaabi in Somerville Tattersall Stakes at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Highly likely there's more to come on the back of just 2 starts and shortlisted here. Naas winner on debut, should go close on the evidence of fourth in Group 3 at Newmarket.
4	3 4th (3) (12/1 +25%) Gloucester		12 12/1(+25%)																															(3) Gloucester 12/1, Fairly useful colt. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Fairyhouse in September. 8/1, good fifth of 13 in nursery at Naas (5.9f, soft) 7 days ago. Claims of hitting the frame again. Two wins to his name including a nursery, 93 rating leaves him with plenty to find.
5th	7 5th (7) (12/1 +0%) Sluice		12 12/1(+0%)																															(7) Sluice 12/1, 50,000 gns foal, Starspangledbanner filly. 4/1, got career off to the perfect start when winning 10-runner maiden at Down Royal (7f, soft) on debut 26 days ago, readily. Sure to improve. Handled heavy ground when winning first time out at Down Royal, number two for stable.
6th	6 6th (6) (28/1 -12%) The Caribbean		28 28/1(-12%)																															(6) The Caribbean 28/1, Fairly useful colt. Career best when winning 4-runner minor event at Cork (7f, good to firm, 9/2) 45 days ago, suited by emphasis on speed. Yard look to hold stronger claims with Military here, however. No shortage of experience but looks inferior to less exposed stablemate Military.

LTO Selection:

---

MILITARY was backed as if defeat was out of the question on debut at Naas and duly landed cramped odds in decisive fashion. The Siyouni colt was then stepped up in class to tackle a Group 3 at Newmarket and the form of that race looks solid as the winner and third went on to fill the places behind City Of Troy in the Dewhurst Stakes last Saturday. The likely extreme ground conditions is a question mark about a number of these including Atlantic Coast who has a similar profile to the selection having won a Curragh maiden on debut before finishing third to Diego Velazquez in a Group 2 here on Irish Champions Weekend. Instant Appeal likes to race prominently and opened his account last time when beating Starliner (won since) at Gowran, while Sluice handled this ground when scoring on debut at Down Royal. Bright Stripes finished well in the valuable Ballyhane Stakes before returning to Naas when landing the odds last month.

A winner on debut at the Curragh, ATLANTIC COAST ran at least as well when third in Group 2 company over 1m here 6 weeks ago. That experience won't have been wasted on him and he can make a bold bid to resume winning ways. Military is a similarly progressive juvenile and rates the chief danger, ahead of Instant Appeal who is also expected to step up further.

Third behind two Ballydoyle-trained colts in a 1m Group 2 event at this venue ATLANTIC COAST may take the measure of Military

1	4 1st (4) (5/1 +29%) Big Rock		5 5/1(+29%)																															(4) Big Rock 5/1, Smart French performer who completed 4-timer in Group 3 at Chantilly. Better form when runner-up in 3 Group 1s since, namely Prix du Jockey Club at Chantilly, Prix Jacques le Marois at Deauville and Prix du Moulin at Longchamp. Handles soft and likely to be in the mix again. Smart French colt who is threatening to win at the top level; has to be feared.
2	3 2nd (3) (14/1 +13%) Facteur Cheval		14 14/1(+13%)																															(3) Facteur Cheval 14/1, Smart French gelding who's acquitted himself well in defeat this season, placed in Group 1s last 3 starts. Conditions will suit but seems destined to find one or two too good at this level. Consistent French gelding; ties in with Paddington and Big Rock; should go well.
3	11 3rd (11) (7/2 -5%) Tahiyra		3.5 7/2(-5%)																															(11) Tahiyra 7/2, Clear of the remainder when second in the 1000 Guineas on return, her only defeat, and kept on readily when landing the Irish equivalent at the Curragh. Added further Group 1s to her tally in Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot and Matron at Leopardstown, so must be respected taking on the males. Esteemed Irish filly; bidding for a Group 1 four-timer; one of the main players.
4	2 4th (2) (40/1 +20%) Checkandchallenge		40 40/1(+20%)																															(2) Checkandchallenge 40/1, Three-time winner (including a 1m Group 3) but is often highly tried and this will prove another step too far. Creditable fourth in this race last year; not so solid judged on 2023 form.
5th	10 5th (10) (50/1 +0%) Rogue Millennium		50 50/1(+0%)																															(10) Rogue Millennium 50/1, Back to winning ways in Duke of Cambridge Stakes at Royal Ascot in June. Posted a good 1¼ lengths second to Tahiyra in Matron Stakes at Leopardstown but disappointed in France either side of that. This looks too demanding. Won at Royal Ascot and second to Tahiyra in the Matron, both on good; needs a career best.
6th	8 6th (8) (5/1 -43%) Nashwa		5 5/1(-43%)																															(8) Nashwa 5/1, Excellent record in the top fillies/mares' races, landing a third Group 1 in the Falmouth at Newmarket impressively. Excuses when going for a second Nassau next time before excellent placed efforts in Juddmonte (ahead of Paddington) at York and Irish Champion at Leopardstown. Big shout. Three-time Group 1 winner against her own sex; 2-2 over 1m; holds solid claims.
7th	1 7th (1) (40/1 -21%) Angel Bleu		40 40/1(-21%)																															(1) Angel Bleu 40/1, Dual Group 1 winner as a juvenile. First success since when edging ahead late on in 7f Haydock listed race in June and as good as ever when winning Celebration Mile at Goodwood 8 weeks ago. Plenty to find here but the more rain the better his chances. Celebration Mile success took his record on ground softer than good to 6-8.
8th	6 8th (6) (100/1 +0%) Epictetus		100 100/1(+0%)																															(6) Epictetus 100/1, Looked suited by the drop back to 1m when stylish winner of Group 3 at Glorious Goodwood (soft) but hasn't kicked on since. Headgear back on. Firmly up against it. Has failed to build on his Group 3 win at Glorious Goodwood; stiff assignment.
9th	9 9th (9) (7/4 +20%) Paddington		1.75 7/4(+20%)																															(9) Paddington 7/4, Superbly campaigned and has developed into one of the leading 3-y-os, landing his fourth successive Group 1 in the Sussex Stakes at Goodwood (heavy). Lost little in defeat in Juddmonte International at York since and strong chance of resuming winning ways. His International defeat can be excused; a winning machine previously; top on ratings.
10th	5 10th (5) (11/1 +21%) Chaldean		11 11/1(+21%)																															(5) Chaldean 11/1, Frankel colt who progressed at a rate of knots last season, completing the 4-timer in Dewhurst at Newmarket. Resumed winning ways in 2000 Guineas at Newmarket but was quickly brushed aside by Paddington in St James's Palace at Royal Ascot. Well held in Prix Jean Prat since. Off 104 days. May bounce back but others have the edge; won a substandard 2,000 Guineas.
11th	7 11th (7) (100/1 +0%) Hi Royal		100 100/1(+0%)																															(7) Hi Royal 100/1, Huge improvement when 1¾ lengths second of 14 to Chaldean in 2000 Guineas (125/1) at Newmarket (8f, heavy) but has gone backwards since. Easy to oppose. Placed in the 2,000 Guineas and Irish Guineas; hasn't backed up that form.

LTO Selection:

---

Paddington's winning run came to an end in the Juddmonte International when third to Mostahdaf having been kept busy since the beginning of the season. The four-time Group 1 winner has been freshened up for this, but it remains to be seen whether his schedule earlier in the campaign has left a mark and, therefore, the vote goes to NASHWA. She finished ahead of Aidan O'Brien's colt at York and backed that up when a close third in the Irish Champion Stakes. With conditions on the softer side and the manner of her impressive win in the Falmouth fresh in the mind, this appears to be a shrewd move by connections. Tahiyra's bid may be dampened by persistent rain, so the other main challengers could prove to be the French duo of Big Rock and Facteur Cheval.

NASHWA's turn of foot proved to be a potent weapon dropped back to 1m when an impressive winner of the Falmouth at Newmarket and she has since run some huge races in defeat back up in trip, notably when finishing a neck in front of Paddington in the Juddmonte International. A stiff 1m is ideal for the Gosden filly and she looks the value call with leading 3-y-o Paddington likely to be a warm favourite once again. Classy 3-y-o filly Tahiyra is another big player.

High-class filly NASHWA is very interesting back at this distance and looks a solid alternative to excellent colt Paddington.

1	5 1st (5) (6/4 +67%) Space Tourist		1.5 6/4(+67%)																															(5) Space Tourist 6/4, 2 wins from 4 runs this season. 30/100, creditable short-head second of 5 to Popova in minor event hurdle at Listowel (20f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Just denied by Popova at Listowel, now 3lb better off; ground concerns and can jump left.
2	4 2nd (4) (3/1 -100%) Riviere D'etel		3 3/1(-100%)																															(4) Riviere D'etel 3/1, Lost her way over fences when last seen but a smart chaser at her best and could go well if a return to hurdles sparks a revival on her reappearance. Different gravy to these over fences and will be hard to beat if anywhere near her best.
3	1 3rd (1) (4/1 +20%) Popova		4 4/1(+20%)																															(1) Popova 4/1, Useful hurdler. 17/2, career best when winning 5-runner conditions event at Listowel (20f, good to soft) 34 days ago by short head from Space Tourist, suited by increase in trip. Tackles even further now and it could suit her. Got up on line to collar long odds-on Space Tourist at Listowel (2m4f, good); 3lb worse.
4	8 4th (8) (15/2 +0%) Iriskana		7.5 15/2(+0%)																															(8) Iriskana 15/2, Fair hurdler. 9/4, career best when winning 15-runner novice hurdle at Roscommon (20.5f, soft) 26 days ago, forging clear. Won 2m4f Roscommon maiden on soft; will be ridden for a place and she'll handle conditions.
5th	2 5th (2) (14/1 -27%) Kilbree Warrior		14 14/1(-27%)																															(2) Kilbree Warrior 14/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 10/1, below form sixth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (17f, good to soft) 160 days ago, inadequate test. Significantly back up in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Won maiden/h'cap at Fairyhouse last term, slipping the field both times; back from layoff.
3	3 |U| (3) (9/1 -13%) Lady Of The Vale		9 9/1(-13%)																															(3) Lady Of The Vale 9/1, Latest win in hurdle at Bellewstown in August. 9/1, good 4¾ lengths third of 7 to Magical Zoe in listed mares event at Gowran (16f, heavy) 22 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Handicapper felt latest 2m Listed third at Gowran flattered her and he's probably right.

LTO Selection:

---

RIVIERE D'ETEL was a high-class novice over fences the season before last and has a good record first time out. A Grade 2 winner over the larger obstacles and twice runner-up in Grade 1 company, she hasn't run over hurdles for well over two years and this trip might stretch her stamina but if anywhere near her best she could outclass these rivals. Space Tourist was long odds-on when caught on the line by Popova at Listowel. The former is 3lb better off and can reverse the form but deep ground is a concern for both mares and Space Tourist's tendency to jump left is also a worry on her return to a right-handed track. The handicapper took the view that Lady Of The Vale was flattered by her third in a Listed contest at Gowran but it was a creditable effort and she has place claims if seeing out this trip.

Although POPOVA meets Space Tourist on worse terms than when narrowly denying her at Listowel the step up in trip promises to see Henry de Bromhead's mare in an even better light and she can confirm placings with her old rival. Riviere D'etel was struggling over fences when last seen in the spring but could also have a say if a return to hurdles sparks her back to life.

She's back from six months off and hasn't run over hurdles for ages but RIVIERE D'ETEL is a different calibre of mare to these

1	4 1st (4) (3/1 +40%) Rose Of Arcadia		3 3/1(+40%)																															(4) Rose Of Arcadia 3/1, Can boast a pretty good strike rate, resuming winning ways with plenty in hands over fences at Fontwell in March (26f). Off since the following month but did win on last season's reappearance over timber.
2	3 2nd (3) (17/2 -143%) Whitehotchillifili		8.5 17/2(-143%)																															(3) Whitehotchillifili 17/2, Rarely stands much racing and doesn't always deliver off the bridle. Went with plenty of zest when second at Ffos Las when last seen in January and record fresh is encouraging, but this trip isn't bound to suit.
3	5 3rd (5) (4/1 +47%) Mr Yeats		4 4/1(+47%)																															(5) Mr Yeats 4/1, Back-to-back winner over 26.5f at Newton Abbot last autumn. Normally a very reliable operator (patiently ridden) but produced a rare below-par effort back at that venue last month. Usual cheekpieces back on.
2	2 |F| (2) (15/8 +6%) West To The Bridge		1.875 15/8(+6%)																															(2) West To The Bridge 15/8, Better than ever when winning Sandown handicap (19.8f) in March for the second year running. Off 6 months and ran right up to form when second at Uttoxeter a fortnight ago, sticking to his task. Stays this far and big player up 1 lb.
1	1 |PU| (1) (9/2 -64%) Itchy Feet		4.5 9/2(-64%)																															(1) Itchy Feet 9/2, Rejuvenated by return to hurdles when landing 12-runner Huntingdon handicap (25f) in January prior to good second in Grade 2 next time. Found out in deep handicaps at the spring festivals but this is a drop in grade for return to action.

LTO Selection:

---

WEST TO THE BRIDGE was only beaten by a length and a half over an extended 2m7f at Uttoxeter earlier in the month and that match-fitness puts him in good shape ahead of this contest. The veteran could prove hard to beat off a 1lb higher rating. Top weight Itchy Feet will find this a much easier assignment than the warm handicaps he was last seen competing in at Cheltenham and Aintree, so he has to be considered on his return to action. Rose Of Arcadia makes her return to this sphere and is the best of the rest.

ITCHY FEET drops in class on this reappearance, and with his record fresh a positive one, he can successfully concede weight all round. West To The Bridge ran right up to form at Uttoxeter a fortnight ago and is feared most, though Rose of Arcadia has it in her to go well on return to action.

C&D winner WEST TO THE BRIDGE arrives with a good recent run under his belt and that tilts the verdict in his favour.

1	3 1st (3) (10/11 +34%) Grosvenor Square		0.909091 10/11(+34%)																															(3) Grosvenor Square 10/11, Galileo colt who hit the line powerfully when making a winning debut in a Galway maiden (8.5f) last month and encouragingly built on that 11 days on when third in the Group 2 Beresford Stakes (1m) 4 weeks ago. Step up to 9f a plus and big player with prospect of more to come. Won on soft at Galway, second-best of stable's trio in Beresford Stakes, strong chance.
2	1 2nd (1) (13/2 +7%) Cambridge		6.5 13/2(+7%)																															(1) Cambridge 13/2, Dubawi colt who confirmed debut promise in determined fashion when landing 12-runner Salisbury novice (1m) 44 days ago, game when tackled. This tougher but highly likely there's more to come representing powerful connections. Won a novice event at Salisbury on good-to-firm last month, Roscommon third was on soft.
3	7 3rd (7) (7/2 +53%) Zaphod		3.5 7/2(+53%)																															(7) Zaphod 7/2, €56,000 foal, Zarak gelding.

A lot more on his plate than when winning at Tipperary but the going will not be an issue.
4	5 4th (5) (6/1 -33%) Naval Force		6 6/1(-33%)																															(5) Naval Force 6/1, 75,000 gns yearling, Churchill gelding. Won 5-runner maiden at Killarney (8.1f, heavy, 13/2) on debut 21 days ago, getting the better of one with experience final 1f. Should do better again. Beat two Aidan O'Brien-trained colts in a 1m maiden at Killarney, may hold his own.
5th	2 5th (2) (33/1 +0%) Gibbs Island		33 33/1(+0%)																															(2) Gibbs Island 33/1, Thrice-raced winner. Improved a little more when landing 19-runner maiden at the Curragh (1m, heavy) 27 days ago, digging deep. Even longer trip here shouldn't inconvenience him but further progress needed upped to group company. Finished 1 3/4l behind Cambridge at Roscommon, won in testing conditions at the Curragh.
6th	6 6th (6) (12/1 +25%) Spanish Flame		12 12/1(+25%)																															(6) Spanish Flame 12/1, Lightly-raced winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win at Tipperary in July. Fourth of 6 in minor event (13/2) at Listowel (8f, soft) 32 days ago. Yard in good form. Both wins were on good, soft ground is a concern on the evidence of tame Listowel run.

LTO Selection:

---

NAVAL FORCE made a pleasing start when successful over a mile at Killarney last month and the form of that race received a timely boost when the third, The Euphrates, won at Gowran Park on Tuesday. The Churchill gelding finished strongly and should be suited by this extra furlong. The same remark applies to Grosvenor Square who won a Galway maiden on debut and again put in his best work at the finish when third to Deepone in the Group 2 Beresford Stakes at the Curragh. Look At The Stars took a big step forward from his debut when relishing heavy ground at the Listowel Festival last month, while these conditions will also hold no fears for Zaphod who stayed on really strongly when making an impressive debut over this trip at Tipperary.

GROSVENOR SQUARE impressed when landing a Galway maiden on debut last month and encouragingly built on that upped markedly in class 11 days later when third in the Group 2 Beresford Stakes at the Curragh 4 weeks ago. Open to further improvement now his stamina is tested further, he looks sure to play a big part. Naval Force and Cambridge head the dangers, whilst Ezeliya, the only filly in the line-up shouldn't be underestimated either.

Aidan O'Brien has a relatively poor recent record this race but his Beresford Stakes third GROSVENOR SQUARE(nap) sets a decent standard

Can go well again despite a 3 lb rise with that form working out well. Runner-up in this 12 months ago and prevailed in a big field at York latest; strong claims.

Ought to be in the shake-up. Went close over 7f on Monday but the drop back to 5f isn't an obvious plus.

Sort to bounce back. Not at the top of his game the last twice but on a competitive mark and not discounted.
6th	9 6th (9) (11/2 +54%) Dickieburd		5.5 11/2(+54%)																															(9) Dickieburd 11/2, C&D winner. Latest win here in August. 17/2, below form fourth of 12 to Wen Moon in handicap at York (5f, heavy) 8 days ago. More is required. Won over C&D in August on sole course visit and he's interesting now back here.
7th	2 7th (2) (3/1 -9%) Wen Moon		3 3/1(-9%)																															(2) Wen Moon 3/1, Had been knocking on the door and gained a deserved success in 12-runner handicap at York (5f, heavy) 8 days ago. Up 6 lb but he still has to be taken seriously. 3yo who has thrived at York this autumn and could still have more to offer.
8th	6 8th (6) (25/1 -25%) Strong Johnson		25 25/1(-25%)																															(6) Strong Johnson 25/1, Latest win at Ripon in September. 11/1, tenth of 12 to Wen Moon in handicap at York (5f, heavy) 8 days ago so needs to bounce back. Some really good form in the last few months but may not want testing ground nowadays.
9th	7 9th (7) (9/1 -29%) Never Dark		9 9/1(-29%)																															(7) Never Dark 9/1, 3 wins from 8 runs this year. Latest win at Haydock in September. Below form fifth of 12 to Wen Moon in handicap at York (5f, heavy) 8 days ago. Merits consideration if shrugging off latest effort. Only 5th behind Wen Moon at Haydock latest but not ruled out in view of previous good form.

VINTAGE CLARETS was a gutsy winner over 5f at York last month and a repeat of that effort would make him tough to beat. Richard Fahey's charge finished a neck in front of the reopposing Wen Moon, who has subsequently franked that form by coming out and going one better over 5f on the Knavesmire. Glorious Angel runs off the same mark as her narrow defeat over 7f at Musselburgh and joins Count D'Orsay on the shortlist.

WEN MOON got back to winning ways at York last time out and is weighted to go close again despite taking a 6 lb rise here. Vintage Clarets also arrives on the back of a recent success at the Knavesmire and is feared most. Manila Scouse, Count d'Orsay and Glorious Angel all need factoring into this competitive handicap too.

Last year's runner-up VINTAGE CLARETS prevailed narrowly from Wen Moon in a big field at York last time and is taken to follow up.

1	8 1st (8) (3/1 +25%) King Of Steel		3 3/1(+25%)																															(8) King Of Steel 3/1, Massive improvement on return for a new yard when finding only Auguste Rodin too good in the Derby, going clear but collared late. Easy winner of Group 2 at the Royal meeting here next time and back to best on his first go at this trip when fourth in Irish Champion 6 weeks ago. Major player. Solid campaign includes sound efforts in the Derby, King George and Irish Champion Stakes.
2	6 2nd (6) (11/2 +31%) Via Sistina		5.5 11/2(+31%)																															(6) Via Sistina 11/2, Made a winning return in Dahlia Stakes and backed that up when landing Pretty Polly at the Curragh in July. Falmouth probably came too soon less than a fortnight later but was back on song when nose second to Mqse De Sevigne in Prix Jean Romanet. Handles soft ground so she's one to consider. Has form figures of 21112 in her 1m1f-10.5f races for current stable; holds fair claims.
3	7 3rd (7) (4/1 +11%) Horizon Dore		4 4/1(+11%)																															(7) Horizon Dore 4/1, French Raider who has progressed well this year, gaining his fourth success in a row in Prix Dollar at Longchamp (9.7f, good to firm) 3 weeks ago. Ground somewhat of a concern but he's firmly on the up so must be respected on his first attempt at the top table. Improving French 3yo gelding who brings an attractive profile to this first Group 1 bid.
4	5 4th (5) (18/1 +36%) Point Lonsdale		18 18/1(+36%)																															(5) Point Lonsdale 18/1, Low-mileage 4-y-o who resumed better than ever this spring with successes in 10f Alleged Stakes at the Curragh and Huxley Stakes at Chester. Back to best when sixth to Auguste Rodin in Irish Champion Stakes 6 weeks ago but will surely come up short in this field. Sole runner for Ballydoyle but has weak claims; near the bottom of this pack on ratings.
5th	9 5th (9) (16/1 -14%) Royal Rhyme		16 16/1(-14%)																															(9) Royal Rhyme 16/1, Most progressive away from firmish ground this year, winning 10f handicaps at Newmarket in May and Goodwood in August. Took the step up in grade in his stride when taking listed race at Ayr (10f) 4 weeks ago and he's certainly worth chancing in this given forecast testing conditions. Progressive 3yo whose latest success took his record on ground softer than good to 4-4.
6th	2 6th (2) (8/1 +71%) Dubai Honour		8 8/1(+71%)																															(2) Dubai Honour 8/1, Big improver over 1¼m at 3, winning pair of Group 2s in France and runner-up in this corresponding event. Failed to reach those levels in 2022 but firmly back on track this season, winning a couple of Group 1s in Australia in the spring. No impact when last seen in Eclipse so best watched. Second in this contest in 2021 but only sixth last year; 0-6 in Group races on home soil.
7th	4 7th (4) (12/1 +14%) My Prospero		12 12/1(+14%)																															(4) My Prospero 12/1, Very progressive 3-y-o, signing off with a close third in this corresponding event 12 months ago. Gradually back to form this term, going close in messy Group 2 at York before capitalising on the drop in grade in listed event at Goodwood most recently. First-time blinkers/tongue tie applied. Listed win last month; close third in this race last year; tongue-tie and blinkers fitted.
8th	1 8th (1) (10/3 +39%) Bay Bridge		3.333333 10/3(+39%)																															(1) Bay Bridge 10/3, Plenty to like about his performance tackling 1½m for the first time as he easily won the Group 3 September Stakes at Kempton last month. Too keen as has often been the case this year when sixth in the Arc since but goes well in the mud so should put up a bold defence his crown. Sixth in the Arc last time; won this race 12 months ago and warrants respect on that basis.

LTO Selection:

---

A few with chances, including last year's winner Bay Bridge, who arrives following a creditable sixth in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, and progressive French raider Horizon Dore. That said, it might pay to side with MOSTAHDAF. The son of Frankel landed the Prince Of Wales's Stakes here in June and was given an excellent ride in the Juddmonte at York next time. He appears to have matured ten-fold this season, and the Group 1 hat-trick does not look beyond him. Via Sistina will be suited by underfoot conditions and should not be underestimated.

Conditions will no doubt play their part in the signature race of the day and with no Auguste Rodin to worry about, KING OF STEEL is selected to gain a first Group 1 level success of his career and give Frankie Dettori the perfect send off on his 'final' ride in Europe. Bay Bridge's finest hour came when landing this contest 12 months ago and he looks sure to put up a bold defence of his crown, with Via Sistina and Mostahdaf (who is by no means a guaranteed runner) another couple to consider.

Frankie Dettori's last ride in Britain, KING OF STEEL, holds strong claims and gets the vote ahead of Horizon Dore.

5	5 (5) (17/2 +0%) Mayor's Walk		8.5 17/2(+0%)																															(5) Mayor's Walk 17/2, 5/1 and hooded, won 16-runner novice hurdle at Listowel (20f, soft) on NH debut 33 days ago, comfortably. This is an altogether tougher assignment but she's clearly promising and receives plenty of weight all round. Mares maiden winner at Listowel (2m4f, good) on last month's yard debut; stiffer task.
1	1 1st (1) (8/15 +42%) High Class Hero		0.533333 8/15(+42%)																															(1) High Class Hero 8/15, Promising type. 3 wins from 3 runs this season. Won 6-runner minor event hurdle (8/11) at Listowel (20f, soft) 28 days ago, easily. The one to beat. Unbeaten under rules including odds-on hurdle wins at Galway and Listowel.
2	2 2nd (2) (3/1 +40%) The Big Doyen		3 3/1(+40%)																															(2) The Big Doyen 3/1, Useful hurdler. 2 wins from 2 runs this season. Career best when winning 8-runner novice hurdle at Galway (20.7f, good to soft, 11/2) 79 days ago, driven out. This is more demanding but he's a player nonetheless. On a hat-trick after 2m4f wins at Tipperary and Galway where he beat three Mullins runners.
3	3 3rd (3) (9/2 +0%) The Wallpark		4.5 9/2(+0%)																															(3) The Wallpark 9/2, Useful hurdler. Career best when winning 4-runner novice hurdle (5/2) at Listowel (16f, soft) 31 days ago, keeping on well. There may well be more to come from this 5-y-o now that he's faced with a stiffer test. Unbeaten since joining Elliott, winning 2m1f bumper and pair of 2m hurdles; stamina doubts.
4	4 4th (4) (28/1 -331%) Summer Melody		28 28/1(-331%)																															(4) Summer Melody 28/1, Lightly-raced winner under Rules. Successful in a bumper at Navan last November. 3/1, fourth of 5 in minor event hurdle at this course (20f, heavy). Off 9 months and he looks up against it. Navan bumper winner; form of his 2l fourth here last Christmas reads well; yard going well.

LTO Selection:

---

Charles Byrnes holds SUMMER MELODY in high regard and it's interesting that he sends his charge into a Listed race on his third hurdles outing rather than starting off the season in maiden company. A bumper winner at Navan last term where he beat a useful type, he was last seen when not beaten far in fourth behind more experienced rivals at this venue last Christmas and gets a handy 4lb from the trio of dual hurdle winners. High Class Hero, unbeaten in three starts under rules, seemed more suited by left-handed Listowel last time than right-handed Galway where he won his maiden hurdle despite jumping left. He still merits obvious respect. The Big Doyen had three Mullins-trained rivals in arrears when winning over 2m4f at the Galway festival. He has plenty of jumping experience to draw upon and, although this ground may not be ideal, is another that has to enter calculations.

A quality renewal of this listed contest. HIGH CLASS HERO and The Wallpark are similarly progressive types and may well dominate the finish, for all that this is far from a two-horse race with unbeaten 4-y-o filly Mayor's Walk and hat-trick seeking The Big Doyen also in the line-up. There's plenty of substance to High Class Hero's form and he is taken to make it 4-4 under Rules.

Interesting that Charles Byrnes sends the maiden SUMMER MELODY into Listed company on seasonal debut and the hint might be worth taking

Second of 11 in maiden at Tipperary (7.4f, soft, 8/11) 71 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Slight step back up in trip will help and she's sure to go well. Stand-out chance on her debut second behind Opera Singer, may atone for Tipperary defeat.
3	8 3rd (8) (17/2 -21%) Higher Leaves		8.5 17/2(-21%)																															(8) Higher Leaves 17/2, Fourth of 8 in maiden at Cork (8f, soft, 11/1) on debut 25 days ago, never nearer. May well do better. Closely matched with Whisper A Prayer on Cork running, should improve, place possibility.
4	6 4th (6) (10/1 -25%) Get		10 10/1(-25%)																															(6) Get 10/1, 8/1, sixth of 8 in maiden at Cork (8f, soft) on debut 25 days ago, slowly away. Should progress for top yard. Ran very green on debut at Cork last month and is likely to need more experience.
5th	3 5th (3) (14/1 +13%) Cheeky Wink		14 14/1(+13%)																															(3) Cheeky Wink 14/1, Foaled March 19. Masar filly. Half-sister to winner up to 11f in Spain Grazalema. Half-sister to a winner in Spain, dam a 1m Grade 2 winner in South Africa, solid pedigree.
6th	2 6th (2) (15/2 +17%) Camelot Alexander		7.5 15/2(+17%)																															(2) Camelot Alexander 15/2, Twice-raced filly. 11/2, fourth of 10 in maiden at Punchestown (7f, good to soft) 38 days ago. Hood on 1st time. Finished 5 1/2l behind Andromeda at Tipperary, no improvement at Punchestown, yard in form.
7th	10 7th (10) (150/1 -127%) Question Of Class		150 150/1(-127%)																															(10) Question Of Class 150/1, Twice-raced filly. 33/1, eleventh of 13 in maiden at Dundalk (7f) 22 days ago. Highly tried first time out, valid excuse on second start but hard to make a case for her.
8th	13 8th (13) (16/1 -78%) Whisper A Prayer		16 16/1(-78%)																															(13) Whisper A Prayer 16/1, Twice-raced filly. 18/1, third of 8 in maiden at Cork (8f, soft) 25 days ago. Showed ability when third at Cork last month, not much between her and Higher Leaves.
9th	12 9th (12) (9/2 +63%) Sara Valentina		4.5 9/2(+63%)																															(12) Sara Valentina 9/2, Foaled March 11. No Nay Never filly. Half-sister to useful 7f winner Emilie Gray. Dam 9f (Dance Design Fillies Stakes/Meld Stakes)/1¼m winner who stayed 1½m. Half-sister to Listed-placed winner Emilie Gray, dam won two Group 3 races for Dermot Weld.
10th	9 10th (9) (40/1 -60%) Masaiya		40 40/1(-60%)																															(9) Masaiya 40/1, Twice-raced filly. Tongue strap on for 1st time, sixth of 7 in maiden (40/1) at Cork (8f, good to firm) 45 days ago. Is probably going to need further and is more likely a future handicap prospect.
11th	7 11th (7) (20/1 -25%) Gleaning		20 20/1(-25%)																															(7) Gleaning 20/1, 17/2 and blinkered, sixth of 8 in maiden at Thurles (8f, soft) on debut 16 days ago. Did not show a great deal on debut at Thurles, Andromeda is the stable's number one here.
12th	4 12th (4) (250/1 -25%) Edella		250 250/1(-25%)																															(4) Edella 250/1, Last of 10 in maiden at Punchestown (8f, good to soft, 250/1) 38 days ago, very slowly away. Safe to rule out following runs over 6f at Naas and 1m at Punchestown, last both times.

LTO Selection:

---

ANDROMEDA has filled the runner-up spot on both previous outings with cut in the ground and is taken to open her account at the third attempt. The Galileo filly beat all bar odds-on stablemate and subsequent Group 1 winner Opera Singer on debut over C&D and was only collared in the closing stages subsequently at Tipperary with Camelot Alexander over five lengths behind. There is very little to choose between Whisper A Prayer and Higher Leaves on their running behind Ezeliya over this trip at Cork. The Henry de Bromhead-trained filly finished well from off the pace when making her debut in that race and should have scope for further improvement. Sara Valentina, Realt Na Ri and Cheeky Wink are three newcomers to note in the market.

The return to 1m will help ANDROMEDA and given she already sets a pretty good standard, she rates the percentage call. Elizabeth Jane is bred to make up into a useful 3-y-o but she can still make her presence felt on debut, with Higher Leaves another to consider.

Despite the doubt raised by her Tipperary defeat ANDROMEDA is the clear pick by virtue of her second to Opera Singer at the Curragh

1	3 1st (3) (85/40 -6%) Hitched		2.125 85/40(-6%)																															(3) Hitched 85/40, Two 1m turf wins this year. 3/1, creditable fourth of 7 in handicap at Brighton (1m, good) 48 days ago. Can give a good account. Latest effort took his form figures over 1m to 1214; may still have more to offer.
2	7 2nd (7) (16/5 +29%) Paco's Pride		3.2 16/5(+29%)																															(7) Paco's Pride 16/5, Modest maiden. 13/2, respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at Bath (1m, soft) 19 days ago. Not taken lightly. Consistent 3yo maiden who has possibilities if proving as effective back on AW.

Up in trip. Has to be taken seriously. Close third over 7f here last time; this step back up in distance looks ideal; respected.
6th	2 6th (2) (7/1 +30%) Weloof		7 7/1(+30%)																															(2) Weloof 7/1, C&D winner. Respectable fifth of 13 in handicap (22/1) at Kempton (1m) 17 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Veteran of the field but has done enough this year to suggest he can't be dismissed.
7th	5 7th (5) (14/1 -75%) Sparkling Spirit		14 14/1(-75%)																															(5) Sparkling Spirit 14/1, Back-to-form third of 13 in handicap at Kempton (1m, 40/1) 17 days ago, running on.

8th	9 8th (9) (150/1 -200%) Cuttlestone Bridge		150 150/1(-200%)																															(9) Cuttlestone Bridge 150/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 125/1, seventh of 8 in C&D novice 42 days ago. Eyeshields on first time. Makes handicap debut. Handicap debutant who has poor claims on form.
9th	1 9th (1) (40/1 -100%) Frieze Frame		40 40/1(-100%)																															(1) Frieze Frame 40/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, sixth of 10 in novice at Kempton (1m) 29 days ago. More chance now handicapping but would need to see market support to consider. Standout effort at novice level came over C&D; return to this scenario looks a plus.
10th	10 10th (10) (33/1 -32%) Independent Beauty		33 33/1(-32%)																															(10) Independent Beauty 33/1, Remains a maiden after 26 Flat runs. Eighth of 12 in handicap (33/1) at Chester (7f, soft) 36 days ago. Back up in trip. Longstanding and inconsistent maiden.

Cheekpieces on first time. First-time headgear is a possible source of improvement.

LTO Selection:

A progressive sort throughout this season and not beaten far at Brighton last time out, HITCHED looks to have been found an ideal opportunity to get back to winning ways from a plum inside draw. C&D winner Weloof has been running with credit of late and must enter calculations, along with Zakram, who may be suited by the drop in distance. Alyara and Kingwell are entitled to be thereabouts as well.

ALYARA went close over a shorter trip here last time and might prove the answer to this opener. 3-y-os Hitched, who has scored twice on turf this year, and Paco's Pride may give John Flint's mare most to do.

Off a handy mark back up in distance, ALYARA could well regain the winning thread. Hitched is second choice.

1	9 1st (9) (9/2 +31%) Little Else		4.5 9/2(+31%)																															(9) Little Else 9/2, Bumper winner at Chepstow in December 2020 and she got off the mark in this sphere on the back of a wind op in 13-runner handicap at Taunton (23.9f, soft) in April. Much respected on her return. Opened her hurdles account at Taunton when last seen; may build on that success.
2	5 2nd (5) (10/1 +17%) Balkardy		10 10/1(+17%)																															(5) Balkardy 10/1, In excellent form over fences when last seen out in the summer of 2022, scoring three times around 2m4f. Back from 15 months off now over hurdles and the market should prove a good guide. Appears well treated off lower hurdle mark now back in this sphere; absent for 15 months.
3	6 3rd (6) (15/8 -7%) Wonderful Eagle		1.875 15/8(-7%)																															(6) Wonderful Eagle 15/8, Fairly useful 1m2f scorer on Flat for Henk Grewe in Germany. Overcame inexperience to make a winning hurdling debut here and followed up over C&D last month in first-time cheekpieces. Has more to offer now handicapping off a lenient opening mark. Big shout. Two wins here for new yard; has a very handy opening mark judged on German Flat form.
4	3 4th (3) (15/2 -114%) Individualiste		7.5 15/2(-114%)																															(3) Individualiste 15/2, Fair on the Flat in France and he got off the mark in good style for new yard in novice hurdle at Taunton (19f, heavy) 19 months.

6th	7 6th (7) (25/1 +38%) Platinumcard		25 25/1(+38%)																															(7) Platinumcard 25/1, Has offered little both runs in 2023, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (16f, heavy) 8 days ago. Others appeal more. Form has dipped markedly for current stable; big revival is required.
4	4 |F| (4) (4/1 +33%) Hasty Parisian		4 4/1(+33%)																															(4) Hasty Parisian 4/1, Consistent sort who again ran with credit when second of 7 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (23f) in June. Should continue to be thereabouts Record is only 1-17 but he's a consistent sort; place possibilities.
2	2 |PU| (2) (22/1 -38%) Bonheur De Ballon		22 22/1(-38%)																															(2) Bonheur De Ballon 22/1, Ex-French recruit who showed fair form when landing claimer at Angouleme (18.9f) 11 months ago. Below best final start in December and the betting should prove a useful guide on yard/handicap debut following a wind op. Raced four times in France, standout form when winning over 2m3f last November.

LTO Selection:

---

WONDERFUL EAGLE was useful on the Flat in Germany and arrives here having won both of his starts over hurdles at this venue in recent months. Those efforts suggest that a mark of 108 should be workable on his handicap bow and he gets the vote ahead of Hasty Parisian, who was second off this mark when last seen in June. Others to note are Individualiste and Gyenyame.

A few with potential but WONDERFUL EAGLE looks to have got in lightly for his handicap debut so is taken to make it 3-3 in this sphere. Paul Nicholls' Individualiste has a long absence to overcome but is still feared most, with Little Else and Kapitaliste also in the mix in an intriguing event.

First choice has to be WONDERFUL EAGLE- (nap), who brings very compelling credentials. Gyenyame is feared most.

1	1 1st (1) (11/4 +8%) Quest For Fun		2.75 11/4(+8%)																															(1) Quest For Fun 11/4, Latest win at York (7f) in July. 8/1, good second of 17 in handicap back at that venue (7f, soft) 28 days ago, produced to lead 1f out and edged out final 100 yds. Has to be taken seriously again with a repeat. Running well on good to soft this year; key player if also handling today's ground.
2	4 2nd (4) (5/2 +9%) Legal Reform		2.5 5/2(+9%)																															(4) Legal Reform 5/2, Rattled off a quick-fire hat-trick on AW/turf during the spring (including over C&D) and solid start for new yard when runner-up in 8-runner Chester handicap (7f, heavy) 21 days ago, making a bold bid from the front. Now operating from career-high mark but sound claims nevertheless. Heavy-ground C&D winner who ran well on recent stable debut and holds solid claims.
3	6 3rd (6) (15/2 +38%) Mutanaaseq		7.5 15/2(+38%)																															(6) Mutanaaseq 15/2, Building up a terrific record around here, bagging his fourth C&D success since the spring when accounting for 12-rivals in September. Below best at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 12 days ago but return to this venue rates an obvious plus. Soundly beaten elsewhere the last twice but four C&D wins this year and could bounce back.
4	7 4th (7) (8/1 +33%) Russco		8 8/1(+33%)																															(7) Russco 8/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Ninth of 10 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to soft, 5/1) 27 days ago, weakening over 1f out. Hood on for cheekpieces now. Engaged 4.30 Redcar Friday. Something to prove but on a reduced mark and the testing ground may help.
5th	8 5th (8) (4/1 +43%) Tasever		4 4/1(+43%)																															(8) Tasever 4/1, Maiden who dispelled a trio of lesser efforts when runner-up in 9-runner handicap at Pontefract (1m) 12 days ago, staying on final 50 yds and just failing. 3 lb rise shouldn't prevent another good showing if arriving in same form. 0-12 but went very close at Pontefract recently and has run well on soft/heavy in the past.
6th	5 6th (5) (13/2 +41%) Ugo Gregory		6.5 13/2(+41%)																															(5) Ugo Gregory 13/2, Latest win at Haydock (7f) in August and twice finished runner up in handicaps at Chester/Beverley before a lesser effort at York (7f, heavy) 8 days ago, slowly into stride and never in the mix after halfway. Remains 5 lb above last winning mark. Well beaten at York last Friday but runner-up twice in a row prior to that; not discounted.

LTO Selection:

QUEST FOR FUN was only just denied in a deeper contest than this over 7f at York last month and he could be tough to beat in these calmer waters. Tim Easterby's runner has been raised 4lb in the ratings for that effort but another bold bid looks assured. Legal Reform is feared most raised just 1lb for his three-quarters-of-a-length second over 7f at Chester last time, while better can be expected from Capital Guarantee.

A 3-time winner earlier this year, LEGAL REFORM returned from a short break with another fine effort when runner-up on yard debut at Chester last month and with conditions holding no fears, he can make a bold bid to maintain his 100% record over this C&D. Quest For Fun ran a cracker himself when just touched off at York recently and he's feared, whilst Mutanaaseq could dispel a couple of lesser runs now returned to this venue.

Heavy-ground C&D winner LEGAL REFORM (nap) was a good second on his stable debut at Chester three weeks ago and can go one better.

1	1 1st (1) (5/6 -4%) Ask Anything		0.833333 5/6(-4%)																															(1) Ask Anything 5/6, Showed fair form on the first 2 of three bumper starts. Back up in trip for hurdles debut and not dismissed. Points' winner with fair bumper form and stamina test should suit on hurdles bow.
2	10 2nd (10) (12/1 +57%) Larkfield Lusive		12 12/1(+57%)																															(10) Larkfield Lusive 12/1, 22/1, respectable fifth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Gowran (20.2f, heavy) 21 days ago. Handicap debut effort mildly encouraging; place claims back in maiden company.
3	12 3rd (12) (25/1 +0%) Tramps Like Us		25 25/1(+0%)																															(12) Tramps Like Us 25/1, Thirteenth of 15 in bumper at Killarney (17f, good to soft, 50/1) 160 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Up in trip. Big step up in trip for hurdles debut and probably best watched.
4	16 4th (16) (12/1 +45%) Milfordfourthree		12 12/1(+45%)																															(16) Milfordfourthree 12/1, Modest hurdler. Remains a maiden after 9 hurdle runs. Creditable fifth of 16 in maiden hurdle at Listowel (20f, soft, 80/1) 33 days ago. Should be competitive again. Bits and pieces in maidens were on better ground; could struggle on heavy.
5th	4 5th (4) (22/1 +12%) Cosmo Renfro		22 22/1(+12%)																															(4) Cosmo Renfro 22/1, Poor hurdler. 14/1, eleventh of 15 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (21.1f, good to soft) 172 days ago. Encouraging C&D handicap debut back in March; back from summer's break in maiden company.
6th	11 6th (11) (20/1 +60%) Man Oh Man		20 20/1(+60%)																															(11) Man Oh Man 20/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 15 in maiden hurdle at Tramore (16f, good, 100/1) 65 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Glimpse of ability in 2m maiden in July; marked step up in trip for handicap debut.
7th	9 7th (9) (8/1 -45%) Jullou De Grissay		8 8/1(-45%)																															(9) Jullou De Grissay 8/1, Shaped encouragingly when fourth of 17 in maiden hurdle (200/1) at Gowran (20.2f, heavy) 21 days ago, finishing with running left. Open to further progress. Recent Gowran fourth augurs well in what looks a weak maiden.
8th	17 8th (17) (12/1 +57%) Shindilla		12 12/1(+57%)																															(17) Shindilla 12/1, Comfortably held all 3 starts in maiden hurdles. Three maiden runs haven't amounted to much but can't be ruled out in such a weak maiden.
9th	2 9th (2) (40/1 +0%) Blackwater Soldier		40 40/1(+0%)																															(2) Blackwater Soldier 40/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Hooded for 1st time, tenth of 17 in maiden hurdle at Gowran (20.2f, heavy, 80/1) 21 days ago. Point-to-point will be eligible for a mark after this.
7	7 |F| (7) (16/1 -78%) One Way Traffic		16 16/1(-78%)																															(7) One Way Traffic 16/1, Modest in bumpers and looked one for later on in this sphere when well held at Gowran (20.2f, heavy) 3 weeks ago. Poor effort on hurdles debut last month on returning from a break; perhaps best watched.
18	18 |F| (18) (150/1 -20%) Onebrightbluerose		150 150/1(-20%)																															(18) Onebrightbluerose 150/1, Down the field all 4 starts in bumpers. Makes hurdles debut up in trip. Bumper form doesn't suggest she'll make an immediate impact hurdling.
10th	13 10th (13) (12/1 -50%) Andyourbirdcansing		12 12/1(-50%)																															(13) Andyourbirdcansing 12/1, Modest maiden who was below form when fifth in 10 runner event at Clonmel (16.8f, heavy, 22/1) 23 days ago. Up in trip. Place claims on best form but this trip could stretch her.
11th	3 11th (3) (66/1 +47%) Coppercoast Paudie		66 66/1(+47%)																															(3) Coppercoast Paudie 66/1, Remains a maiden after 15 hurdle runs. 18/1, one of better efforts when sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (16f, heavy) 9 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Veteran is now 0-15 hurdling and little to shout about of late.
12th	6 12th (6) (33/1 +34%) Jimmy De Giant		33 33/1(+34%)																															(6) Jimmy De Giant 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. 66/1, sixth of 11 in maiden hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy) 22 days ago. Significantly up in trip. No show both maidens last month, eligible for a mark after this.
13th	8 13th (8) (14/1 +13%) Sonny Fella		14 14/1(+13%)																															(8) Sonny Fella 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules who showed a bit when fifth of 18 in maiden hurdle (200/1) at Listowel (20f, soft) on hurdles bow 29 days ago. Some ability on last month's hurdles debut at Listowel but plenty more likely needed.
14th	14 14th (14) (80/1 +20%) Cappacurry Croi		80 80/1(+20%)																															(14) Cappacurry Croi 80/1, Poor hurdler who was beaten by more than a lack of stamina up in trip when down the field in handicap hurdle at Galway (22.2f, soft, 50/1) 40 days ago. Soundly beaten off basement mark in handicaps of late, hard to see her featuring in maiden.
5	5 |PU| (5) (80/1 +20%) Enoughofthat		80 80/1(+20%)																															(5) Enoughofthat 80/1, Last of 17 in handicap hurdle at Cork (19f, good to soft, 40/1) 6 days ago. Dropped out tamely on Cork handicap debut six days ago, hard to fancy.

LTO Selection:

Gavin Cromwell has a good record in these restricted maidens and looks to have found a nice opportunity for hurdling debutant ASK ANYTHING. Keith Donoghue's mount won a point-to- point last November and ran well in bumpers, notably when fifth to Cheltenham runner-up Fact To File at Leopardstown last Christmas. Despite failing to beat a rival, he was far from disgraced in a decent winners' contest at the Punchestown festival when last seen. Jullou Du Grissay had shown little prior to finishing fourth in a maiden run on testing ground at Gowran last month. The winner of that contest is trained by Cromwell so he should be in a good position to know what's required to take this. Larkfield Lusive was a fair fifth off a mark of 90 in a Gowran handicap over 2m4f last time and has place claims in a maiden lacking depth.

JULLOU DE GRISSAY caught the eye finishing with running left at Gowran 3 weeks ago and should be up to winning a race of this nature with further improvement on the cards. Ask Anything and Milfordfourthree head the dangers.

A weak maiden in which Gowran maiden fourth JULLOU DE GRISSAY is preferred to hurdles debutant Ask Anything

1	15 1st (15) (25/1 +50%) The Gatekeeper		25 25/1(+50%)																															(15) The Gatekeeper 25/1, Winner of 7f handicaps at Newcastle and Newmarket earlier this season and better than ever when awarded a 1m handicap at Goodwood (soft) at the end of August. Creditable fourth of 7 to Rhoscolyn back at Goodwood last time but looks summed up by his mark. Went close in big 1m handicap at Glorious Goodwood; will do well to repeat it today.
2	13 2nd (13) (40/1 +0%) Ropey Guest		40 40/1(+0%)																															(13) Ropey Guest 40/1, Bagged a second success of 2023 with a career best in 19-runner handicap at York (1m, good to firm) in August. Creditable 2 lengths sixth of 17 in the Challenge Cup here (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago. Has form in the mud. Won a big prize at 1m in August; combination of trip and testing ground is not ideal.
3	9 3rd (9) (7/1 -8%) Docklands		7 7/1(-8%)																															(9) Docklands 7/1, Quickly developed into a smart performer, winning twice over C&D this summer, notably the Britannia at the Royal meeting. A touch disappointing in a Goodwood Group 3 last time but could resume his progression back in a big-field handicap. His first C&D win came on soft. Big player. Has won on soft; C&D winner at the Royal meeting; now 10lb higher against older horses.
4	7 4th (7) (10/1 +38%) Bopedro		10 10/1(+38%)																															(7) Bopedro 10/1, Two 1m Newmarket wins this year and showed he's still at the top of his game at the end of a long season when third of 34 in the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket (9f, good to firm) 3 weeks ago. Acts on heavy ground. Respected. Excellent 3rd of 34 in the Cambridgeshire latest (1m1f); yard won 3 of last 6 runnings.
5th	19 5th (19) (25/1 -25%) Vetiver		25 25/1(-25%)																															(19) Vetiver 25/1, Three wins, notably a 7f Carlisle listed event on soft ground in June. Creditable 5¾ lengths third of 10 to Matilda Picotte in Group 3 Sceptre at Doncaster (7f, good) on her only start since. While it's tough to argue her mark looks generous she is less exposed than most of these. Has progressed this year and suited by soft ground but plenty to prove back in a handicap.
6th	3 6th (3) (7/1 +0%) Sonny Liston		7 7/1(+0%)																															(3) Sonny Liston 7/1, Second in the Royal Hunt Cup over C&D (good to firm) in June and even better form when narrowly denied in 1m Doncaster handicap (good to soft) last month. Raised another 4 lb for that but still respected with Ryan Moore taking the ride again. Solid marker in top 1m handicaps, including over C&D; touched off on soft ground last time.
7th	18 7th (18) (12/1 +25%) Lattam		12 12/1(+25%)																															(18) Lattam 12/1, Steadily progressive 4-y-o who landed Irish Lincolnshire on return and went in again on AW at Newcastle (1m) in June. Creditable efforts in 1m handicaps on testing ground at Goodwood and York in recent weeks. Wears first-time cheekpieces. Won Irish Lincoln on return; suited by ground but looks to have work cut out; headgear now.
8th	11 8th (11) (20/1 -43%) Coeur D'or		20 20/1(-43%)																															(11) Coeur D'or 20/1, Has had a cracking year, including bagging valuable 1m handicaps at Galway (soft) and the Curragh (good) in August. Respectable eighth of 22 back at the Curragh (1¼m, good to soft) 41 days ago. Won two valuable 1m handicaps in Ireland of late; this should be run to suit.
9th	5 9th (5) (8/1 -7%) Al Mubhir		8 8/1(-7%)																															(5) Al Mubhir 8/1, Progressive last year and improved again to win 1m Leicester handicap in April. Remained in form since, including third in a Newbury listed last time, and his liking for testing ground earns him a place on the shortlist here. Two 1m wins on heavy/soft; hampered at Goodwood on latest run at this trip; can go well.
10th	2 10th (2) (16/1 +0%) Raadobarg		16 16/1(+0%)																															(2) Raadobarg 16/1, Smart and consistent performer at listed/Group level this year but yet to score for current yard and suspicion that wait for his next win will go on a bit longer. Running well in Group and Listed races, including over C&D, but this looks tough.
11th	10 11th (10) (40/1 -21%) Helm Rock		40 40/1(-21%)																															(10) Helm Rock 40/1, Thrived at the end of this summer, completing a 1m AW double at Newcastle and Kempton (1m). Another rise in the weights was enough to find him out back on turf last time, though. Likely vulnerable again. Two useful AW wins at 1m before well held off new high turf mark latest; up against it.
12th	6 12th (6) (11/2 +31%) Awaal		5.5 11/2(+31%)																															(6) Awaal 11/2, Smart performer who has been placed in the Lincoln (second to Migration) at Doncaster (1m, heavy) and Bunbury Cup (7f, good to soft) this year. Another creditable effort when third in 7f Redcar listed race a couple of weeks ago. Useful form in top handicaps at 1m (C&D) and 7f; better suited by the mud than some.
13th	12 13th (12) (28/1 -27%) Rhoscolyn		28 28/1(-27%)																															(12) Rhoscolyn 28/1, Dropped in the weights and back in excellent order during the summer, notching 3 wins on soft/heavy ground at Goodwood. Another creditable effort when fifth of 17 in the Challenge Cup here on good to firm here a fortnight ago and could better than with the ground more in his favour now. Having a terrific spell with 3 wins at 7f and 1m but has a mighty task under a penalty.
14th	16 14th (16) (12/1 +52%) Dual Identity		12 12/1(+52%)																															(16) Dual Identity 12/1, Back to winning ways with a wide-margin success at Sandown (1¼m, good to soft) in September but his mark took a hike for that and he faded to finish tenth of 34 in the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket (9f) since. Another good run in the Cambridgeshire latest (1m1f); return to soft ground is a worry.
15th	14 15th (14) (50/1 -25%) Bennetot		50 50/1(-25%)																															(14) Bennetot 50/1, Useful in France. Joined a yard which does so well with new recruits but he didn't offer immediate encouragement at Haydock (7f, heavy) 3 weeks ago. Useful at 1m on very soft in France but remote finish on debut for yard last month.
16th	17 16th (17) (14/1 +22%) Dancing Magic		14 14/1(+22%)																															(17) Dancing Magic 14/1, Remains a maiden but has been highly tried (last 8 runs at listed/Group level) and the booking of Oisin Murphy takes the eye on this belated handicap debut. Has form in the mud. Maiden; raced in Listed/Group races since last September; had wind surgery; down the list.
17th	20 17th (20) (66/1 +18%) Eilean Dubh		66 66/1(+18%)																															(20) Eilean Dubh 66/1, 5-y-o who enjoyed a fine 2022, winning 4 times. Got his head back in front at Hamilton (8.3f) in July but the handicapper has seemingly been in control since. First-time cheekpieces need to spark improvement. Hamilton winner in July but has found it hard work in big handicaps at about 1m since.
18th	1 18th (1) (14/1 -56%) Migration		14 14/1(-56%)																															(1) Migration 14/1, Better than ever when defying top weight in the Lincoln at Doncaster (1m, heavy) on his reappearance in April. His absence since a below-par effort in a Newmarket Group 3 in May isn't too big a concern given his ability to go well fresh but some effort will be needed under clear top weight. Hampered in this in 2022; strong finish won the Lincoln in April (1m, heavy); considered.
19th	8 19th (8) (25/1 +0%) Blue For You		25 25/1(+0%)																															(8) Blue For You 25/1, Resumed winning ways in good style at York (1m, good) in July. Failed to make an impact on his next 3 starts but looked right back in form when finishing well from too far back in the Challenge Cup here (7f) recently. The first-time tongue tie he had added to his visor on that occasion is retained. High in the weights and there's little to suggest he welcomes soft ground.
20th	4 20th (4) (12/1 -9%) Baradar		12 12/1(-9%)																															(4) Baradar 12/1, Bagged the International over 7f here (good to soft) in July and produced a really smart handicap performance when following up over 6.5f at the Doncaster St Leger meeting. Ground conditions will be in his favour but this trip is a maximum for him. New level since cheekpieces added, winning at 7f/about 6f; faces rigorous test back at 1m.

LTO Selection:

---

In a wide-open renewal of this valuable handicap marginal preference is for AWAAL, who arrives here 1lb lower than when third in the Royal Hunt Cup over course and distance in June. He confirmed his well-being when filling the same position at Listed level two weeks ago and he should relish conditions. Migration beat the selection in the Lincoln earlier in the year but may not be able to confirm that form on these terms. Docklands remains unexposed and should not be discounted, while Lattam has to be of some interest in first-time cheekpieces. The shortlist is completed by Raadobarg, Sonny Liston and Vetiver.

DOCKLANDS gained the first of 2 C&D wins this summer on soft ground and is worth a chance to atone for his lesser run in pattern company at Glorious Goodwood as he continues to look well treated on the form of his impressive Britannia success at the Royal meeting. David O'Meara has won this 3 times since 2017 so his runners need paying close attention, with Blue For You and Bopedro possibly the pick of them. Al Mubhir and Sonny Liston also make the shortlist.

A stiff test at 1m on testing ground promises to suit AL MUBHIR and he gets the vote in a typically competitive running of this race.

Brother to useful 9f winner Alluringly, and half-brother to useful 2-y-o 6f winner Toogoodtobetrue and 2-y-o 9f winner Ballet de La Reine. One of 3 Aidan O'Brien debutants. Seems his powerful yard's preferred runner but it doesn't always work out that way.
2	6 2nd (6) (3/1 +33%) Invention		3 3/1(+33%)																															(6) Invention 3/1, Highly promising sort. 10/3, fourth of 16 in maiden at the Curragh (9f, soft) on debut 14 days ago. Open to significant progress so he's of major interest. Green on Curragh debut but kept on to be beaten 10l; should have improved from that.
3	4 3rd (4) (16/1 +36%) Fine Point		16 16/1(+36%)																															(4) Fine Point 16/1, Foaled May 7. Awtaad gelding. Half-brother to 2-y-o 7f winner Penpal and useful 2-y-o 8.3f winner French Fusion. Dam unraced half-sister to useful 1½m winner My Renee. Already gelded but has the pedigree to be decent; check market.
4	2 4th (2) (16/5 +29%) Blackpool		3.2 16/5(+29%)																															(2) Blackpool 16/5, Foaled May 26. Galileo colt. Dam winner up to 1¼m (2-y-o 7f winner), including of 1000 Guineas and Nassau Stakes, stayed 1½m. Newcomer for powerful connections. The first of three newcomers for powerful yard; market support would be significant.
5th	1 5th (1) (20/1 -25%) Bard Of Avon		20 20/1(-25%)																															(1) Bard Of Avon 20/1, Foaled May 29. Galileo colt. Brother to 2-y-o 1m winner Albula. Dam, useful 1m-9f winner, closely related to smart winner up to 1m Osaila. By the great Galileo and the market should inform on debut; one of two runners for yard.
6th	15 6th (15) (15/2 +73%) Vestigia		7.5 15/2(+73%)																															(15) Vestigia 15/2, Lightly-raced colt. Good second of 8 in nursery at the Curragh (7f, heavy, 11/4) 27 days ago. Second in a nursery last time; a surprise if he was good enough to take this.
7th	3 7th (3) (10/1 +9%) Double Agent		10 10/1(+9%)																															(3) Double Agent 10/1, Foaled January 28. 600,000 gns yearling, Galileo colt. Brother to very smart 1¼m-14.5f winner Free Wind and 1¼m winner Martinstown. Plenty to like on paper. A 600,000gns yearling; respected but doesn't appear to be the yards preferred runner.
8th	14 8th (14) (11/1 +8%) Raydamann		11 11/1(+8%)																															(14) Raydamann 11/1, Foaled February 9. Sea The Stars colt. Brother to useful 2-y-o 7f winner Ridenza, and half-brother to 6f winner Radiyka and useful 2-y-o 7.5f/1m winner Rajapour. By a top sire and from a strong damline; one to be interested in.
9th	9 9th (9) (66/1 +74%) Lord Church		66 66/1(+74%)																															(9) Lord Church 66/1, Twice-raced colt. Ninth of 17 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, soft, 80/1) 9 days ago. Soundly beaten on both starts at the Curragh and will have to find improvement.
10th	5 10th (5) (20/1 +39%) Imarajan		20 20/1(+39%)																															(5) Imarajan 20/1, Foaled February 10. Camelot colt. Half-brother to 2-y-o 7f winner Imadpour. Dam 11.3f winner out of 1¼m winner She Is Great. Yard's debutants usually improve for a run but needs a market check.
11th	10 11th (10) (100/1 +50%) Maxwell Smart		100 100/1(+50%)																															(10) Maxwell Smart 100/1, 33/1 and visored, eleventh of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (7f) on debut 8 days ago. Was never involved on his debut at Dundalk; will have to improve for the switch to turf.
12th	16 12th (16) (22/1 +67%) Walter Hartright		22 22/1(+67%)																															(16) Walter Hartright 22/1, Seventh of 16 in maiden at the Curragh (9f, soft, 33/1) on debut 14 days ago. Beaten 13l on Curragh debut two weeks ago and will have to step forward.
13th	13 13th (13) (14/1 +22%) Positive Energy		14 14/1(+22%)																															(13) Positive Energy 14/1, Sixth of 13 in maiden (10/1) at Thurles (8f, soft) on debut 16 days ago, missing break. Should progress. Showed some promise on debut; will have to step up plenty on that but it is possible.
14th	11 14th (11) (150/1 -50%) Nakasero		150 150/1(-50%)																															(11) Nakasero 150/1, 40/1, tenth of 17 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, soft) on debut 9 days ago. Should improve. Never involved when beaten 11l on Curragh debut recently and will have to improve plenty.
15th	17 15th (17) (50/1 +80%) Warrior Lord		50 50/1(+80%)																															(17) Warrior Lord 50/1, 66/1, eleventh of 17 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, soft) on debut 9 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Beaten 13l on Curragh debut and needs to improve plenty from that.

KINESIOLOGY made little impression after a slow start on debut at Killarney in July but was prominent throughout the following month when making Chief Little Rock work hard to land prohibitive odds over this C&D. The winner has been placed on both outings since including when runner-up to Deepone in the Group 2 Beresford Stakes. Invention never really got involved on debut in the 1m1f Curragh maiden won in impressive fashion by Illinois but did come home well and looks sure to benefit from the experience. Vestigia handled soft ground when just denied in a Curragh nursery and could progress further over this extra furlong, while riding arrangements suggest Ocean Of Dreams may prove the pick of a trio of well-bred newcomers from Ballydoyle.

KINESIOLOGY was nicely clear of the rest when runner-up over C&D in August and given that race worked out, he's very much the one to beat. Invention will have derived plenty from his debut and could be open to a lot of improvement, with Blackpool one of a trio of likely-looking Aidan O'Brien newcomers.

KINESIOLOGY has the experience of two runs to fall back on, notably a close second to a Group-placed colt over C&D last time.

1	1 1st (1) (13/2 +35%) Harbour Vision		6.5 13/2(+35%)																															(1) Harbour Vision 13/2, C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Last of 11 in C&D handicap (40/1) 18 days ago. Tongue strap back on. 0-12 this season but may benefit from this drop back in class off a handy mark.
2	2 2nd (2) (6/1 -80%) Waleyfa		6 6/1(-80%)																															(2) Waleyfa 6/1, Three wins from 7 runs this year, the latest over C&D in May. Off 4 months, seventh of 10 in handicap (25/1) at Chester (7.6f, heavy) 21 days ago. Should be sharper now and respected back on favoured AW. Successful in her last three AW attempts; interesting back in this sphere.
3	9 3rd (9) (5/4 +50%) Island Native		1.25 5/4(+50%)																															(9) Island Native 5/4, Very good second of 13 over C&D last month and backed it up when runner-up at Lingfield 16 days ago. There's a race in him off a mark in the mid-50s. 3yo maiden who went close at this course and Lingfield the last twice; turn looks near.
4	11 4th (11) (28/1 -12%) Techno Lady		28 28/1(-12%)																															(11) Techno Lady 28/1, Poor maiden. 66/1, respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at this course (7f) when last seen in July. Up in trip. Inconsistent maiden but gives the impression she may improve for the new trip.
5th	8 5th (8) (4/1 +20%) My Roxanne		4 4/1(+20%)																															(8) My Roxanne 4/1, Latest win at Newcastle in June. 5/1, respectable third of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (1m) 15 days ago. Likely to be competitive. Creditable third at Newcastle last time; place claims on first run here.
6th	3 6th (3) (18/1 -200%) Glory Call		18 18/1(-200%)																															(3) Glory Call 18/1, Has won over 6f and 7f here this year. Ninth of 11 in handicap at this course (7f, 8/1) 50 days ago. Up in trip. Narrow wins over 6f/7f here this summer; something to prove at this longer trip.
7th	5 7th (5) (18/1 +0%) Aeroplane Mode		18 18/1(+0%)																															(5) Aeroplane Mode 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Eleventh of 13 in handicap (80/1) at Bath 1mf, soft) 19 days ago. Would need to see market support to consider. Pair of duck eggs since handicapping; best watched.
8th	6 8th (6) (33/1 -32%) Well Prepared		33 33/1(-32%)																															(6) Well Prepared 33/1, Course winner in January and followed up at Chelmsford 10 days later. Off since a lesser run here in April. Much depends on whether he's primed after an absence. Market may prove best guide on return from six-month layoff.
9th	4 9th (4) (20/1 -11%) Boujee Gold		20 20/1(-11%)																															(4) Boujee Gold 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 11 in handicap at this course (7f, 10/1) 49 days ago, slowly away. Up in trip. Must improve. Retains low mileage and may do better still at an ordinary level.
10th	10 10th (10) (50/1 -25%) Say Grace		50 50/1(-25%)																															(10) Say Grace 50/1, Course winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. 40/1, twelfth of 14 in handicap at Leicester (7f, good) 26 days ago. Up in trip. Risky proposition at present. Has doubts over current form and the trip.
11th	7 11th (7) (18/1 +28%) Melwood Boy		18 18/1(+28%)																															(7) Melwood Boy 18/1, 125/1, first run since leaving Hugo Palmer when sixth of 8 in handicap at Chepstow 47 days ago. Claims if recapturing the form he showed on AW at the start of his career. Still a maiden but this return to AW may help on second start for new yard.

Runner-up on his last two starts, including over C&D last month, ISLAND NATIVE seems to set the standard on form and he must hold every chance if able to overcome the widest draw. Harbour Vision may be winless since scoring over C&D last December, but he is now 7lb below that mark, while Glory Call must be of interest on the step up in trip.

The draw could have been kinder to ISLAND NATIVE but he still looks worth siding with on the back of good runner-up efforts in recent weeks. Waleyfa could be sharper for a recent outing on turf and is feared most as a three-time AW winner. My Roxanne has a pretty solid record lately and should also be in the shake-up.

1	5 1st (5) (5/2 -81%) Flash Bardot		2.5 5/2(-81%)																															(5) Flash Bardot 5/2, Consistent filly who seemed to revel underfoot conditions when bagging third success of the year at Newbury (12f, heavy) 29 days ago. 4 lb higher mark shouldn't inconvenience her on that evidence and any further easing of the ground will aid her cause. Player. Newbury win last time was her first run on soft; 4lb higher mark could underestimate her.
2	3 2nd (3) (10/1 +9%) Dark Jedi		10 10/1(+9%)																															(3) Dark Jedi 10/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 9/4, fourth of 6 in handicap at Haydock (14f, heavy) 21 days ago, shaken up under 4f out and soon beaten. Operating from a dangerous mark if he can put it all together. Won on heavy on this day last year but has struggled to make much impact this term.
3	6 3rd (6) (9/4 +55%) Valley Of Flowers		2.25 9/4(+55%)																															(6) Valley Of Flowers 9/4, Thriving mare who completed a quick-fire hat-trick (all under this rider) with any amount in hand upped to 2m at Newcastle 8 days ago, leading on bridle over 1f out and hard held. Drop back in trip will hold no fears and sound claims despite the rise in class. Won with increasing ease on last three starts; up another 6lb but has to be shortlisted.
4	1 4th (1) (10/3 -21%) Matchless		3.333333 10/3(-21%)																															(1) Matchless 10/3, Latest win at Doncaster in May. Creditable third of 9 in handicap back at that venue (11.9f, good to soft, 18/1) 37 days ago, having been able to bag an uncontested lead. Dangerous if getting his own way on the front end again. Won over hurdles here in January and close 3rd at Doncaster on latest outing, both on soft.
5th	2 5th (2) (11/2 +31%) Quantum Leap		5.5 11/2(+31%)																															(2) Quantum Leap 11/2, Unreliable sort who doubled career tally at Haydock (14f) in July but hasn't convinced in trio of starts since, again slowly into stride when fifth of 10 in handicap at Redcar (14f) 2 weeks ago. Capable but one to treat with a degree of caution on balance. Markedly slow starts on most outings; back from 2m/1m6f but could be capable of better.
6th	7 6th (7) (50/1 -127%) Libby		50 50/1(-127%)																															(7) Libby 50/1, Fair maiden in this sphere (stays 12f) and similar form without getting her head in front over hurdles for Joseph O'Brien last season. Betting should prove a useful guide returned to the level/following 6 months off for new yard. Fair maiden on Flat and hurdling; soft and heavy ground look fine; has left Joseph O'Brien.
7th	4 7th (4) (66/1 -313%) Detective		66 66/1(-313%)																															(4) Detective 66/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 11/2, fourth of 5 in handicap at Hamilton (12.1f, good to soft) 26 days ago, left poorly placed in a modestly-run affair. Largely held form well in recent months but others appeal more for win purposes. Pretty consistent in defeat this year, close second at Carlisle (1m3f) penultimate start.

LTO Selection:

---

Valley Of Flowers completed her hat-trick at Newcastle eight days ago and, though respected, this will require a career-best performance. FLASH BARDOT has been largely consistent this season and gained a deserved victory at Newbury last month. George Bass negates most of the 4lb rise incurred for that success and she is fancied to follow up. Others to note include Dark Jedi and Matchless.

VALLEY OF FLOWERS has thrived in recent weeks, bringing up the hat-trick (all under Jo Mason) with any amount to spare over further at Newcastle 8 days ago. With the drop back in trip holding no fears (C&D winner), she can make a bold bid to bring up the 4-timer. Flash Bardot rates the chief threat, ahead of Dark Jedi.

Opposing Valley Of Flowers flies in the face of three easy wins but FLASH BARDOT took very well to soft ground at Newbury.

Switches from chase to hurdles. First run for yard after leaving T. Shanahan. Back from 10 months absence for new yard off reduced mark; not one to entirely dismiss.
7th	13 7th (13) (11/2 +39%) Well Loved		5.5 11/2(+39%)																															(13) Well Loved 11/2, Respectable third of 13 in handicap hurdle (17/2) at Tramore (20.3f, soft). Off 6 months. Merits consideration. Progressive in the spring on soft; could have more to offer and rider's claim a positive.
8th	8 8th (8) (40/1 +0%) Gendarme		40 40/1(+0%)																															(8) Gendarme 40/1, Course winner. 40/1, fourth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (20.3f, heavy) 9 days ago. Others more persuasive. 2m winner here for Charles Byrnes; last week's Tramore effort a fair one.
9th	9 9th (9) (10/1 -11%) Cloudy Fountain		10 10/1(-11%)																															(9) Cloudy Fountain 10/1, 12/1, creditable sixth of 17 in novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, soft) 31 days ago.

10th	15 10th (15) (12/1 -50%) Church Lane		12 12/1(-50%)																															(15) Church Lane 12/1, 7/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, good third of 17 in handicap hurdle at Galway (22.2f, soft) 40 days ago. Not taken lightly. Recent Galway third augurs well; easier track here should suit and one to consider.
11th	7 11th (7) (14/1 +30%) Collo Meo		14 14/1(+30%)																															(7) Collo Meo 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Off over 2 years. Up in trip.

Switches from chase to hurdles. Mainly campaigned over fences lately; place claims back hurdling.

HE FITZ IN won over a similar trip at Navan on his most recent start over hurdles and can defy a 4lb higher mark. He looked unlucky over fences at Sligo when a last-fence faller and again performed with credit when second at Punchestown. He's had a fairly busy time of things but finished well on his most recent outing and the fitting of a visor seems to have sharpened him. Church Lane ran her best race so far when third at Galway where a first-time tongue-tie seemed to have a positive effect and any improvement on that form will see her go close. Ishan won a 3m handicap on soft ground last winter and had a good run on heavy when second over fences at Wexford. He's had a couple of spins over an inadequate 2m since returning from a summer break and is one to note stepping back up to a more suitable distance.

HE FITZ IN is going through a good spell at present and remains of interest back over hurdles. Church Lane and Well Loved head the dangers.

Preference is for CHURCH LANE on the back of a much improved run at Galway in a tongue tie

Worth a market check on rules/stable debut but was a remote last of four in point bumper.

LTO Selection:

WALKS LIKE THE MAN represents a yard with a very good record in bumpers and the winning point-to-pointer has to be respected having been purchased for 225,000 pounds following that success in February. Hikari Pompadour Aa merits a place on the shortlist given his connections, while Tough Approach and El Granjero are others who have to be of some interest.

HIKARI POMPADOUR AA represents a stable that enjoyed a good deal of success in this sphere last season and he makes plenty of appeal on pedigree, so he's worth a chance to make a winning start despite the presence of point-recruits Walks Like The Man and El Granjero.

The market needs watching for clues but the most appealing profile is that of WALKS LIKE THE MAN, a big-money buy after winning a point.

LTO Selection:

NOBLE ANTHEM won the first leg of this series over a similar trip at Naas in August before finishing second to Fair Damsel over 1m4f in the second leg at the Curragh. There's no doubt he should have won on the latter occasion as well when his rider eased down well before the line and he can make amends over this more suitable trip. Fair Damsel was second under Colin Keane in a handicap at Gowran on Monday and relishes testing ground so looks a big player again. Adhuil also went close at Gowran on Monday when second over an extended 1m1f and the horse that beat him followed up back at the Kilkenny venue the following afternoon.

NOBLE ANTHEM looked set to win at the Curragh before being eased prematurely by this rider. He is unlikely to make the same error again

1	3 1st (3) (22/1 -120%) Ziggy's Dream		22 22/1(-120%)																															(3) Ziggy's Dream 22/1, Sharp enough to make a winning debut at Doncaster (5f, soft) in April and improved further when runner-up in Lily Agnes at Chester 2 weeks later. Progress stalled thereafter, well below best when seventh of 8 in novice event at that venue 5 weeks ago. Came to hand early but her progress has stalled and she has something to prove for now.
2	2 2nd (2) (5/2 +17%) Shuangxi		2.5 5/2(+17%)																															(2) Shuangxi 5/2, Bred to be sharp and knew enough to make a winning debut over 5f here last month, leading inside final 1f and running on. Never figured upped markedly in grade when eleventh in Group 1 Cheveley Park since and she's respected returned to calmer waters. 5f win here on debut before struggling in Group 1 latest (bad draw); this more suitable.
3	1 3rd (1) (14/1 -75%) Gladly Ever After		14 14/1(-75%)																															(1) Gladly Ever After 14/1, Winning debut at Chepstow (6f) in July. 7/2, below form sixth of 12 in minor event at Beverley (5f, heavy) 25 days ago, fading last ½f having showed good speed. Better showing anticipated on AW debut from handy draw. It wasn't a strong maiden she won on debut and no progress since; opposable on AW debut.
4	7 4th (7) (16/5 +20%) Miss Anya		3.2 16/5(+20%)																															(7) Miss Anya 16/5, Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable fourth of 13 in maiden at Beverley (5f, heavy, 11/4) 31 days ago, coming from further back than the trio ahead of her. Step back up in trip a plus and she's entitled to be in the mix. Has shown some promise but without really progressing; vulnerable to improvers.
5th	8 5th (8) (4/1 -14%) Princess Alice		4 4/1(-14%)																															(8) Princess Alice 4/1, Promising sort. 11/2, third of 9 in minor event at Kempton (6f) on debut 24 days ago, keeping on well final 1f. Open to improvement. Took a while to pick up on debut but stayed on well late; should do much better in time.
6th	6 6th (6) (5/1 +64%) Land Of Hope		5 5/1(+64%)																															(6) Land Of Hope 5/1, Foaled February 12. €40,000 yearling, Invincible Army filly. Half-sister to 7f-1m winner Liangel Hope and winner up to 1m Hasten Slowly. Dam winner up to 1m (2-y-o 7f winner). Market should guide on debut. 40,000euros half-sister to two 7f/1m winners; worth a market check despite wide stall.
7th	11 7th (11) (150/1 -127%) Via Blanca		150 150/1(-127%)																															(11) Via Blanca 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. 40/1, eighth of 10 in minor event at Yarmouth (5.2f, good), unable to sustain effort. Off 101 days. Modest form in two runs over shorter; hard to recommend from the outside stall.
8th	5 8th (5) (25/1 +0%) Diligencia		25 25/1(+0%)																															(5) Diligencia 25/1, Foaled April 12. Due Diligence filly. Dam unraced. Yard can ready a newcomer and worth noting if the betting spoke in her favour. Unraced dam from a middle-distance family; likely to need further in time.
9th	9 9th (9) (9/1 -38%) Sea Of Angels		9 9/1(-38%)																															(9) Sea Of Angels 9/1, Showed a bit amidst greenness when fourth of 6 in novice event at Lingfield (5f, AW) on debut in August but went backwards from that faced with heavy ground when last of 12 in a Nottingham maiden (5f) 25 days ago. Return to AW may help now. Promise on her debut (5f, AW) but less good on slow turf latest; big step forward required.
10th	10 10th (10) (100/1 -203%) Showmethewayhome		100 100/1(-203%)																															(10) Showmethewayhome 100/1, Twice-raced maiden who stepped up a little on her debut effort when fifth of 8 in maiden (11/2) at Newcastle (7.1f) 25 days ago, staying on gradually without being unduly punished. Still, handicaps entitled to be more her bag. Not achieved much in two runs, including on Tapeta; return to 6f not enough to tempt.
11th	4 11th (4) (33/1 -65%) Come On You Spurs		33 33/1(-65%)																															(4) Come On You Spurs 33/1, Foaled February 17. 24,000 gns yearling, Zoffany filly. Half-sister to 2 winners abroad by Slade Power. Dam lightly-raced half-sister to very smart 7f winner Dutch Connection. Wears hood. 80-1 when withdrawn after unruly in preliminaries on intended debut; likely best watched.

A promising third on her debut at Kempton last month when short of room at a crucial stage two furlongs out, PRINCESS ALICE looks the one to be on with improvement forthcoming. Runner-up on two of her last three starts, Miss Anya must be a key player, as well as course winner Shuangxi, who takes a significant drop in grade having contested the Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket latest.

SHUANGXI found the marked step up in class all too much on her latest outing 3 weeks ago but she'd created a positive impression when making a winning debut over the minimum trip here previously. Returned to calmer waters, she may well be up to resuming progress, with Miss Anya and Princess Alice fancied to pose the lead threats to Michael Bell's filly.

Shuangxi will appreciate the drop in class but PRINCESS ALICE (nap) can take a big step forward from her promising Kempton debut.

1	5 1st (5) (7/1 -17%) Ask Peter		7 7/1(-17%)																															(5) Ask Peter 7/1, Latest win at Hamilton in September. 9/2, only seventh of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (12.1f, soft) 19 days ago so has work to do now. Two front-running 1m4f wins at Hamilton (one on soft) in last 4 starts; well beaten latest.
2	2 2nd (2) (13/2 -63%) Can Can Girl		6.5 13/2(-63%)																															(2) Can Can Girl 13/2, 16/5, creditable second of 6 in handicap at Ripon (16f, soft) 21 days ago. It's now fifteen runs since her last win in 2022, though. Placed most starts this term; worry is the lack of impact in her four races on soft ground.
3	4 3rd (4) (7/2 +50%) Ebony Maw		3.5 7/2(+50%)																															(4) Ebony Maw 7/2, 10/1, won 9-runner handicap at Ayr (13.1f, heavy) 9 days ago. Needs considering desite taking a 2 lb rise in the weights. 1m5f with heavy ground at Ayr nine days ago saw him register his second win from 27 races.
4	1 4th (1) (14/1 -250%) Skye Breeze		14 14/1(-250%)																															(1) Skye Breeze 14/1, Resumed with 1m4f win at Newcastle and has posted good efforts since, fifth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f). Off 6 months but still not taken lightly with few miles still on the clock. Off since March and has more to prove on turf; it's also a new trip; check the betting.
5th	8 5th (8) (9/2 +55%) Sugarpiehoneybunch		4.5 9/2(+55%)																															(8) Sugarpiehoneybunch 9/2, Course winner who shaped as if needing the run after six months off when tenth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f, 28/1) 8 days ago. Very much one to consider now despite being 2 lb out of the handicap. Very interesting if judged on her 1m4f win on heavy going here in April.
6th	7 6th (7) (18/1 -13%) Crazy Crackers		18 18/1(-13%)																															(7) Crazy Crackers 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 13 in handicap (22/1) at Kempton (8f) 52 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Tongue strap on 1st time. Not easy to make a case for. Moving up from 1m for this second handicap is a leap in the dark; tongue tied first time.
7th	3 7th (3) (9/2 +25%) The Dancing Poet		4.5 9/2(+25%)																															(3) The Dancing Poet 9/2, 4-time course winner. Creditable third of 10 in handicap at this course (12.1f, soft) 17 days ago. Can give another good account. Four 1m4f wins here; goes well on soft and some 1m6f form also puts him in the picture.
8th	6 8th (6) (11/2 +8%) Ae Fond Kiss		5.5 11/2(+8%)																															(6) Ae Fond Kiss 11/2, Respectable second of 6 in handicap at Chester (14.4f, heavy, 9/1) 21 days ago. Possibilities. 1m6f on heavy going at Chester on latest outing and came 2nd of six but she was beaten 15l.

EBONY MAW was finally able to exploit a sliding handicap mark when winning at Ayr nine days ago. With that confidence-boosting success under his belt, Ewan Whillans' charge can shrug off a subsequent 2lb rise and double up. Can Can Girl drops in class following a good second at Ripon and must enter calculations, while The Dancing Poet appeals most of the remainder.

An open handicap so at the likely odds it is worth siding with SUGARPIEHONEYBUNCH to build on her recent Newcastle tenth after an absence and bag a second course success off a handy-looking mark. Skye Breeze also returns from a spell off the track but Ed Bethell's low-mileage 4-y-o merits consideration along with course-specialist The Dancing Poet and Ayr-scorer Ebony Maw.

Recent heavy-ground winner Ebony Maw has a big shout. Watch out also for SUGARPIEHONEYBUNCH, who won on heavy here in April.

1	5 1st (5) (9/4 +18%) Only By Night		2.25 9/4(+18%)																															(5) Only By Night 9/4, Once-raced maiden. 5/1, third of 12 in bumper at Warwick (16f, good to soft) on NH debut. Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving Jonjo O'Neill. Well worth a market check. Form of Warwick third on good ground hasn't worked out but respected on stable debut.
2	7 2nd (7) (12/1 +0%) Ufouria		12 12/1(+0%)																															(7) Ufouria 12/1, €20,000 3-y-o, Vadamos mare. Half-sister to numerous winners, including modest hurdler Sarah Joyce. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner who stayed 1¼m. Half-sister to 5 winners including 1m6f Listed winner The Tartan Spartan; E20,000 3yo.
3	8 3rd (8) (5/2 -67%) Ma Belle Etoile		2.5 5/2(-67%)																															(8) Ma Belle Etoile 5/2, Once-raced maiden. Second of 12 in bumper at Tipperary (16.2f, soft, 17/2) on NH debut 20 days ago, left with lot to do. The one to beat. Second of 12 to rival with useful form at Tipperary (soft); was green and should improve.
4	9 4th (9) (5/1 +58%) Make Sunshine		5 5/1(+58%)																															(9) Make Sunshine 5/1, Twice-raced maiden. Sixth of 18 in bumper (4/1) at Cork (16f, good to soft) 168 days ago. Others more persuasive. Beaten 13l both starts against mares, over 2m3f here (soft) on debut and when keen at Cork.
5th	1 5th (1) (14/1 -27%) Straight Home		14 14/1(-27%)																															(1) Straight Home 14/1, Thrice-raced winner under NH rules. Winner in bumper at Cork in April. Tenth of 14 in novice hurdle (40/1) at Tramore (20.3f, heavy) 9 days ago. Switches from hurdles to bumpers. Back down in trip. Readily won ordinary Cork bumper (yielding/soft) in April; well beaten over hurdles since.
6th	2 6th (2) (150/1 +40%) Doyen Flyer		150 150/1(+40%)																															(2) Doyen Flyer 150/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fifteenth of 17 in bumper at Punchestown (16.6f, good, 200/1) 11 days ago. Had one moderate run for Willie Mullins and shown nothing so far for this yard.
7th	3 7th (3) (16/1 -60%) Doyen Lady		16 16/1(-60%)																															(3) Doyen Lady 16/1, Once-raced maiden.

9th	6 9th (6) (7/2 +30%) Penelope's Charm		3.5 7/2(+30%)																															(6) Penelope's Charm 7/2, Twice-raced maiden. Third of 8 in bumper (4/1) at Killarney (17f, good) 159 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Not discounted. Solid form in the spring, beaten 3l both starts; back from break on more testing ground.

MA BELLE ETOILE shaped with plenty of potential when runner-up on soft ground at Tipperary three weeks ago and can go one better. Green when asked for her effort on that occasion, she went down by three lengths to a mare that had useful form in the book and her stable sent out a promising bumper winner under this rider last weekend. Only By Night was third in a good ground bumper at Warwick in February on her sole start for Jonjo O'Neill. That form hasn't really worked out but the point-to-point winner still merits respect having switched to Gavin Cromwell's yard. Penelope's Charm has only been beaten three lengths on both starts and the form of those races looks solid. She has been off over five months, though, and will have to prove her ability to handle testing conditions.

MA BELLE ETOILE showed plenty having been left with plenty to do when second at Tipperary on debut and, with more to come, she's likely to open her account at the second attempt. Only By Night also shaped well on debut (for a different yard) and Penelope's Charm isn't one to take lightly.

Winner here in July. 4/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap at this course (5.1f) 18 days ago. One to consider. 5f win here in July & placed over that trip the last twice; needs more back up to 6f.

Cheekpieces back on, so could return to form. 5f winner on fast turf in June; drops into Class 6 company today and should fare better.

Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Catterick (7f, heavy, 4/1) 28 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Not discounted. 6f win at Southwell in August was reward for a string of good runs; each-way claims again.
5th	4 5th (4) (7/1 -75%) Glamorous Express		7 7/1(-75%)																															(4) Glamorous Express 7/1, 12/1, respectable third of 13 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, soft) 19 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Can make presence felt. Back in form on slow turf the last twice; 3lb higher ahead of this AW debut; drawn widest.
6th	5 6th (5) (9/2 +0%) Water Of Leith		4.5 9/2(+0%)																															(5) Water Of Leith 9/2, C&D winner. Sixth of 12 in handicap (22/1) at Ayr (7.2f, soft) 18 days ago. Dropping in the weights without showing any sign of taking advantage. Should be winning races off this mark but he's had a quiet 2023; others look safer.
7th	8 7th (8) (7/1 +22%) Cabeza De Llave		7 7/1(+22%)																															(8) Cabeza De Llave 7/1, Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at this course (5.1f, 12/1) 18 days ago.

8th	7 8th (7) (25/1 +0%) Lady Amanda		25 25/1(+0%)																															(7) Lady Amanda 25/1, Seventh of 8 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good to firm, 20/1). Off 144 days. Makes tapeta debut. 6f nursery winner last November; well beaten over 7f in two runs since; off for 144 days.
9th	3 9th (3) (28/1 -40%) Beauzon		28 28/1(-40%)																															(3) Beauzon 28/1, C&D winner. 40/1, last of 11 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago. Plenty to prove at present. C&D winner; yet to shine in two runs for this yard but down in class today; check betting.
10th	2 10th (2) (50/1 -100%) Due Date		50 50/1(-100%)																															(2) Due Date 50/1, 80/1, first run since leaving Clive Cox when last of 11 in handicap at this course (7.2f) 18 days ago. Hard to fancy. Ran well over C&D for C Cox in May; low-key stable debut (80-1) over C&D 18 days ago.

GLAMOROUS EXPRESS hit the frame over an extended 5f in a class 4 event at Bath last time and the handicapper put him up 3lb for that display. However, that may not be enough to prevent him from recording his second career success. Speed Dial Baileys has hit the frame the last twice over 5f here and could have a say, while Newyorkstateofmind is also of interest.

GLAMOROUS EXPRESS is on a handy mark and arrives in form, so he's preferred to Cabeza de LLave and Speed Dial Baileys in what looks a wide-open sprint.

4	1 4th (1) (3/1 +60%) Resilience		3 3/1(+60%)																															(1) Resilience 3/1, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Eleventh of 12 in handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, good, 10/1) 50 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Others more appealing.

5th	9 5th (9) (9/1 +25%) Street Life		9 9/1(+25%)																															(9) Street Life 9/1, C&D winner.

Conditions to suit and better drawn today than last time; others still safer though.
6th	2 6th (2) (10/1 -67%) Boom The Groom		10 10/1(-67%)																															(2) Boom The Groom 10/1, 3-time C&D winner. Latest win at Chelmsford City in August. Creditable second of 7 in handicap (9/1) at Brighton (5.3f, good) 11 days ago. Likeable veteran who should put up another bold showing. Two 5f wins in August and placed in both runs since; should go well once again.
7th	5 7th (5) (18/1 -227%) Granny B		18 18/1(-227%)																															(5) Granny B 18/1, First run since leaving John Quinn when hooded for 1st time, career best when winning 13-runner handicap (16/1) at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) 23 days ago, slowly away. Merits consideration. Winning stable debut at Pontefract last month; 2lb rise fair but usually fluffs the start.
8th	3 8th (3) (8/1 +20%) Dalby Forest		8 8/1(+20%)																															(3) Dalby Forest 8/1, Last of 7 in handicap at this C&D (7/2) 50 days ago, slowly away. Blinkers on 1st time. Needs to bounce back. Fluffed start over C&D last time; earlier 2nd at Southwell gives him claims; headgear now.
9th	8 9th (8) (14/1 -75%) Glorious Charmer		14 14/1(-75%)																															(8) Glorious Charmer 14/1, 5-time course winner. 3 wins from 8 runs this year. 33/1, tenth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 54 days ago. Probably needed the run last time and is likely to be closer to form. Conditions suit and on a winning mark; needs to step up on August's low-key Southwell run.
10th	10 10th (10) (50/1 -127%) Doc Sportello		50 50/1(-127%)																															(10) Doc Sportello 50/1, C&D winner. Off 12 months and 28/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Brighton (5.3f, heavy) 33 days ago. Should strip fitter for that run. Should be sharper for last month's return but this veteran is still not easily recommended.

GRANNY B was successful when making her first start for the Michael Mullineaux stable at Pontefract last time and she is only 2lb higher for that victory. The daughter of Acclamation could easily take another step forward to record a double. Dalby Forest ran too bad to be true over C&D last month and he now sports first-time blinkers, which could eke out more. Of the remainder, C&D winner Josies Kid appeals most.

BOOM THE GROOM has been in top form for a while and should be able to secure the early lead, so he should be hard to pass. Last-time-out winners Josies Kid and Granny B are obvious dangers.

5	5 (5) (12/1 +0%) Kitten's Dream		12 12/1(+0%)																															(5) Kitten's Dream 12/1, Unreliable type. Course winner. 28/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Southwell (16.5f) 11 days ago. Opposable from a win point of view. Second off 15lb higher mark over C&D in May but has regressed since summer.
1	4 1st (4) (9/4 +25%) Roman Art		2.25 9/4(+25%)																															(4) Roman Art 9/4, 10/3, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 23 days ago. Performed with credit when third over the same C&D on penultimate start and worth a second look upped in trip here. Well held last time but was good third over 1m3f in first-time blinkers two runs ago.
2	9 2nd (9) (22/1 -22%) The Craftymaster		22 22/1(-22%)																															(9) The Craftymaster 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable eighth of 13 in handicap (20/1) at Bath (10.2f, good to soft) 87 days ago, best work finish. First run for yard after leaving Roger Teal. Unplaced all four runs for Roger Teal; hiked up in trip for yard debut; improvement needed.
3	2 3rd (2) (11/4 +31%) Huscari		2.75 11/4(+31%)																															(2) Huscari 11/4, 10/1, creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f) 23 days ago. Should make her presence felt. Stayed on for respectable fifth at Southwell (1m6f) last month; now 5lb below winning mark.
4	1 4th (1) (17/2 -31%) Autonomy		8.5 17/2(-31%)																															(1) Autonomy 17/2, Course winner. Six wins from 19 Flat runs. 100/1, tenth of 13 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 23 days ago. Significantly up in trip and he needs to bounce back. Triple Tapeta winner in spring 2022 but well held last month after a long layoff.
5th	8 5th (8) (10/3 +33%) Mellow Mood		3.333333 10/3(+33%)																															(8) Mellow Mood 10/3, Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at this course (14f, 9/4) 12 days ago and, though her record stands at 0-11, she has to be feared in a race of this nature. Has made the frame on six of her seven starts this year, including a close second over C&D.
6th	3 6th (3) (5/1 +9%) Ghostly		5 5/1(+9%)																															(3) Ghostly 5/1, Course winner. Latest win at Thirsk in August. Good fourth of 11 in handicap (13/2) at this course (12.2f) 14 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and he's one for the shortlist. Won twice in August (1m6f here/1m4f on turf) and looks well worth another crack at 2m.
7th	7 7th (7) (33/1 -65%) Tamay Girl		33 33/1(-65%)																															(7) Tamay Girl 33/1, Last of 11 in juvenile hurdle at Ludlow (15.8f, good, 150/1) on NH debut 10 days ago. Significantly up in trip and cheekpieces on 1st time. Modest performer in this sphere and she looks vulnerable. Hasn't shown much on the Flat or over hurdles for this stable; cheekpieces tried today.
8th	10 8th (10) (80/1 -167%) Lady Bianca		80 80/1(-167%)																															(10) Lady Bianca 80/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, eighth of 10 in handicap at this course (8.6f, 80/1) 18 days ago. Significantly up in trip and it's probably best to look elsewhere. Pulled up on stable/hurdle debut in August and has also struggled on the Flat since.

GERROTS (second) had Mellow Mood (fourth) behind when making an encouraging start to life under Deborah Faulkner over 1m6f here earlier in the month, and he is able to compete off the same rating. The five-year-old should have no issue with this longer trip and can get his head in front for the first time. If Roman Art can run to the level of his third at Southwell over 1m3f on his penultimate start, then he could get competitive too.

The vote goes to HUSCARI, who has performed with credit both starts since returning from a break last month and her latest effort at Southwell can be marked up a touch, as she wasn't suited by the way the race unfolded. Gerrots put in a good shift on debut for this yard over 1¾m here and a reproduction of that would give him every chance of finally getting his head in front. Roman Art and Mellow Mood are others to consider.

1	1 1st (1) (11/8 +0%) Tarjeeh		1.375 11/8(+0%)																															(1) Tarjeeh 11/8, Promising sort. Won 14-runner minor event at Newbury (7f, good, 7/2) on the second of his 2 starts as a juvenile. 15-month absence to overcome but otherwise appealing given his scope for improvement. Belated return after Newbury win last July but he looked very useful that day.
2	6 2nd (6) (11/2 +31%) Running Star		5.5 11/2(+31%)																															(6) Running Star 11/2, Once-raced maiden. 22/1, third of 10 in minor event at Southwell (8.1f) on debut 23 days ago, not knocked about. Should have more to offer with that run under his belt. Ran to fair level when staying-on third on 1m Southwell debut 23 days ago; should improve.
3	4 3rd (4) (11/4 +31%) Leading Lion		2.75 11/4(+31%)																															(4) Leading Lion 11/4, Promising type. Second of 8 in minor event at Newcastle (8f, 5/1) 15 days ago. Remains open to improvement for his top yard and should be on the premises. Gelded after debut in May and showed a lot more when second at Newcastle recently.
4	9 4th (9) (15/2 -25%) Elladonna		7.5 15/2(-25%)																															(9) Elladonna 15/2, Promising type. Second of 10 in maiden (5/2) at Kempton (11f) 17 days ago, no match for winner. Should progress and likely to take a hand in the finish. Fair form both starts over four months apart; may have more to give.
5th	11 5th (11) (20/1 -67%) Meleki		20 20/1(-67%)																															(11) Meleki 20/1, 40,000 gns yearling, Muhaarar filly. Dam smart winner up to 1m (including at 2 yrs). Yard can ready one first time out and she needs a close look in the betting. Newcomer from a good yard and out of a French Listed/Group 3 winner; check betting.
6th	8 6th (8) (12/1 -9%) Tribute		12 12/1(-9%)																															(8) Tribute 12/1, Fair gelding. Sixth of 9 in maiden at Pontefract (8f, good to soft, 6/4) 83 days ago, slowly away. Blinkers on 1st time. Yard also saddles newcomer Meleki. Two fair runs but other efforts poor, weakening tamely on turf 12 weeks ago; new headgear.
7th	10 7th (10) (150/1 -127%) Looklikewemadeit		150 150/1(-127%)																															(10) Looklikewemadeit 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fourth of 5 in maiden (66/1) at Ffos Las (12f, heavy) 82 days ago. Down in trip on debut for new yard and she's hard to warm to. Beaten upwards of 22l in two outings on turf for David Evans in July; can only watch.
8th	7 8th (7) (66/1 -32%) Siempre Arturo		66 66/1(-32%)																															(7) Siempre Arturo 66/1, Outstrip gelding. Half-brother to 1m winner Glam Puss. Dam lightly-raced half-sister to useful 1½m winner (stayed 14.5f) Jeremiah. Wears hood on debut and probably best watched on this occasion. Yard in form but watching brief advised on belated debut; wears a hood.
9th	2 9th (2) (80/1 +36%) Mazzorbo		80 80/1(+36%)																															(2) Mazzorbo 80/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time, first run since leaving Dean Ivory when fourth of 7 in minor event (100/1) at Nottingham (10.2f, good to soft) 72 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps in due course. Showed ability on his belated return at Nottingham but he also looked wayward.
10th	3 10th (3) (150/1 +0%) Hiccups		150 150/1(+0%)																															(3) Hiccups 150/1, Once-raced maiden. Last of 8 in maiden at Pontefract (8f, good to soft, 150/1) on debut 30 days ago. Readily passed over. 150-1 and always behind on 1m Pontefract debut last month.
11th	5 11th (5) (12/1 -60%) Lohengrin		12 12/1(-60%)																															(5) Lohengrin 12/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Last of 5 in minor event (evens) at Beverley (9.9f, heavy) 31 days ago. Another for whom handicaps may present better opportunities. Engaged 5.05 Redcar Friday. Promise first two starts and can't have been right latest; improvement needed.
12th	12 12th (12) (250/1 -67%) Savannah Song		250 250/1(-67%)																															(12) Savannah Song 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. Ninth of 11 in minor event at this course (8.6f, 200/1). Off 171 days. First run for yard after leaving Julia Feilden and she looks set for another struggle. Well held in two outings on AW for Julia Feilden in the spring.

LTO Selection:

---

TARJEEH has been off the track since beating a decent field in a novice event at Newbury in July 2022 but it would be no surprise to see him make a winning return in a race of this nature. Leading Lion looks the most likely to benefit if the selection disappoints based on his second at Newcastle recently, while Elladonna and Running Star are next best.

The well-bred TARJEEH hasn't been seen out since landing a Newbury novice last July, but he looked very promising that day and remains capable of better. If fully-tuned up for this assignment, he will take plenty of stopping. Elladonna and Leading Lion both stepped up on their respective debut efforts when hitting the crossbar last time and rate the main dangers, in that order of preference, while Running Star is another likely improver who could have a role to play.

1	9 1st (9) (10/3 +33%) Global Tycoon		3.333333 10/3(+33%)																															(9) Global Tycoon 10/3, Respectable fourth of 12 in handicap (4/1) at this course (9.5f) 26 days ago. Up in trip and this consistent type looks set for another prominent showing. Arrives in form (fourth over 9.5f here latest) and claims if stamina holds up in trip.
2	1 2nd (1) (9/2 +10%) Wilkie		4.5 9/2(+10%)																															(1) Wilkie 9/2, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Tenth of 12 in handicap (7/2) at Chelmsford City (10f) 16 days ago, not clear run. Back up in trip for this tapeta debut and dangerous to discount having slipped to an attractive mark. Failed to fire when backed last time but remains dangerously well treated.
3	7 3rd (7) (11/1 -38%) Sexy Rexy		11 11/1(-38%)																															(7) Sexy Rexy 11/1, Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at this C&D (12/1) 14 days ago, well positioned. 4 lb rise tolerable and she's a live candidate. Well placed when winning messy race over C&D latest but should remain competitive up 4lb.
4	10 4th (10) (33/1 -65%) Duchess		33 33/1(-65%)																															(10) Duchess 33/1, 7/1, 9 lengths tenth of 12 to Sexy Rexy in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Others more persuasive on balance. One of her better runs when fourth over C&D last month but well held back here since.
5th	8 5th (8) (28/1 -133%) Virtual Hug		28 28/1(-133%)																															(8) Virtual Hug 28/1, Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. 12/1, creditable seventh of 17 in handicap at Navan (14f, good to soft) 51 days ago. Makes tapeta debut starting out for his new yard and may find one or two too good. Hurdle winner in Ireland but 0-19 on the Flat; first run for new yard.
6th	4 6th (4) (28/1 +15%) Lochnaver		28 28/1(+15%)																															(4) Lochnaver 28/1, Latest win at Hamilton in June. 22/1, last of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (12.1f, soft) 19 days ago. Tough to assess at present. Below par since Hamilton win in June; remains to be seen if return to AW sparks revival.
7th	2 7th (2) (3/1 +14%) Pysanka		3 3/1(+14%)																															(2) Pysanka 3/1, Won 11-runner handicap (5/2) at this C&D 14 days ago, just holding on. More will be needed if he's to follow up off this 3 lb higher mark. Off the mark in a C&D handicap 14 days ago, his first attempt at 1m4f; player up 3lb.
8th	6 8th (6) (6/1 +0%) Smart Charger		6 6/1(+0%)																															(6) Smart Charger 6/1, Creditable second of 12 in handicap (13/2) at Kempton (11f) 33 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and will need to raise his game in order to go one better here. Latest 1m3f Kempton second looks solid and could be more to come at 1m4f; big player.
9th	3 9th (3) (22/1 -175%) Hot Team		22 22/1(-175%)																															(3) Hot Team 22/1, 5/1, creditable third of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 37 days ago. Up in trip and should be in the mix once again. Largely consistent this year and should be on premises if stamina holds back up in trip.
10th	5 10th (5) (7/1 +50%) Miss Lightfandango		7 7/1(+50%)																															(5) Miss Lightfandango 7/1, Sixth of 7 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, good to firm, 7/2) 38 days ago. Up in trip for this tapeta debut and capable of playing a leading role. Not at best last time but third at Windsor prior to that and less exposed than most.

LTO Selection:

---

SEXY REXY returned to winning ways over C&D a couple of weeks ago and the daughter of Saxon Warrior sets the standard off just a 4lb higher mark. Hot Team has made the frame on his last two starts and is likely to be in the mix once again, while Pysanka edges out Smart Charger to be best of the rest.

HOT TEAM has been knocking on the door this season and he could be the answer to an open-looking handicap. An on-song Wilkie would be a threat off this reduced mark, while the consistent Global Tycoon is also shortlisted. Last-time-out-winners Pysanka and Sexy Rexy both merit respect, too.

1	2 1st (2) (13/2 +0%) Liberty Mountain		6.5 13/2(+0%)																															(2) Liberty Mountain 13/2, Below form sixth of 12 in handicap (7/2) at Chester (7f, soft) 36 days ago. Should benefit from return to tapeta, so merits plenty of respect. Runner-up 3 times this season, including C&D; form claims but stall 12 the main concern.
2	12 2nd (12) (18/1 +0%) Spring Day		18 18/1(+0%)																															(12) Spring Day 18/1, Creditable 2¾ lengths fifth of 10 to Chifa in handicap at this C&D (33/1) 14 days ago. More required. Sufficient promise over C&D the last twice to enter calculations; check the betting.
3	11 3rd (11) (40/1 -100%) Haworth Star		40 40/1(-100%)																															(11) Haworth Star 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 50/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Leicester (7f, good) 11 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Something to find on form. Well-beaten 50-1 shot on recent handicap debut; not easily recommended.
4	10 4th (10) (4/1 +60%) Glory Sky		4 4/1(+60%)																															(10) Glory Sky 4/1, Winner at Kempton in May. 10/1, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 7 days ago. Might well be on the premises. Handicapper has looked in command after her novice win in May; needs to pull out more.
5th	4 5th (4) (9/2 -29%) Chifa		4.5 9/2(-29%)																															(4) Chifa 9/2, 5-time C&D winner. 3 wins from 8 runs this year. Career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this C&D (11/2) 14 days ago, well on top finish. Has good chance on form. Five C&D wins in the last 12 months, the latest two weeks ago; should remain competitive.
6th	6 6th (6) (9/2 +18%) Fiscal Policy		4.5 9/2(+18%)																															(6) Fiscal Policy 9/2, Course winner. Latest win here in August. Creditable fourth of 13 in handicap (11/4) at Kempton (7f) 24 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Likely to feature. Stayed 7f well enough last time when 4th in a Kempton race that is working out; contender.
7th	8 7th (8) (8/1 +33%) Arbaawi		8 8/1(+33%)																															(8) Arbaawi 8/1, Latest win at Lingfield in July. 8/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, soft) 30 days ago. Not completely dismissed. 7f winner on slow turf in July but less good three times since; others look safer.
8th	1 8th (1) (20/1 -82%) Devasboy		20 20/1(-82%)																															(1) Devasboy 20/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. 9/1, eleventh of 15 in minor event at Doncaster (8f, good) 34 days ago. Needs to get back on track. 0-11 for this yard but down in the weights and has had excuses of late; often slowly away.
9th	7 9th (7) (10/3 +52%) Lion's Dream		3.333333 10/3(+52%)																															(7) Lion's Dream 10/3, Unreliable type. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Tongue strap on for 1st time, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 12/1) 7 days ago. Blinkers back on, hood back on. Expensive to follow for this yard; down in weights and new accessory combination tried.
10th	9 10th (9) (66/1 -230%) Hobson Point		66 66/1(-230%)																															(9) Hobson Point 66/1, Unreliable sort. 10/1, last of 6 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good to soft) 40 days ago. Others more persuasive. 14-race maiden who hasn't built on his promising stable debut; others look safer.
11th	3 11th (3) (20/1 -186%) Legende D'art		20 20/1(-186%)																															(3) Legende D'art 20/1, 50/1, bit below form fourth of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 21 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Not ruled out. Promising seasonal return three weeks ago; return to 7f a plus; one for the shortlist.
12th	5 12th (5) (80/1 -100%) Dynamite Katie		80 80/1(-100%)																															(5) Dynamite Katie 80/1, 100/1 and hooded for 1st time, ninth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 18 days ago. Others preferred. Yet to get going for new yard, including when 100-1 for a C&D handicap 18 days ago.

LTO Selection:

---

Chifa has to be of interest following his C&D victory two weeks ago but he is up in grade now and is 3lb higher in the ratings. With that in mind, preference is for LIBERTY MOUNTAIN, who was only beaten a head into second over this track and trip on her penultimate start. Fiscal Policy arrives here on a workable mark and is another to consider.

CHIFA enhanced his excellent course record when scoring with something to spare a fortnight ago and he's well worth a chance to follow up in a race that should be run to suit. Fiscal Policy and Liberty Mountain look the main dangers.

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.
