13:25 Windsor Handicap (Class 6) 11f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	9 1st (9) (13/2 +28%) Breguet Boy	6.5 13/2(+28%)	(9) Breguet Boy 13/2, 17/2 and blinkered for 1st time, below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Redcar (10f, heavy) 3 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Blinkers didn't make much difference last time; stamina would be a concern on the ground.
2	2 2nd (2) (11/2 -10%) Ship To Shore	5.5 11/2(-10%)	(2) Ship To Shore 11/2, Winner at Southwell in June. Creditable fourth of 7 in handicap (7/2) at Southwell (16.5f) 13 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. In the mix. Back in form on Tapeta last time; stays further and his claims are obvious.
3	5 3rd (5) (11/8 +8%) Cherryhawk	1.375 11/8(+8%)	(5) Cherryhawk 11/8, Yet to score but she is knocking on the door, second of 11 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 7 days ago, running on. Another bold showing is on the cards off the same mark. Two solid efforts on soft ground lately and she'll rightly be popular under Simon Walker.
4	3 4th (3) (7/1 +7%) Fair Dinkum	7 7/1(+7%)	(3) Fair Dinkum 7/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, creditable sixth of 10 in handicap (10/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 14 days ago, needing stiffer test. Needs considering. On fair mark now and his pedigree gives hope that this ground will be alright; considered.
5th	4 5th (4) (16/1 -191%) Parikarma	16 16/1(-191%)	(4) Parikarma 16/1, 15/8, creditable second of 5 in novice hurdle at Taunton (16.5f, soft) 179 days ago. Off 179 days. Not discounted back on the Flat. Three Flat wins all came in October and she has her ground; is one to consider.
6th	10 6th (10) (11/2 +31%) Das Kapital	5.5 11/2(+31%)	(10) Das Kapital 11/2, Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. Below form fourth of 8 in handicap at Newbury (12f, good to soft, 13/2) 88 days ago. Unreliable sort. These are his conditions and his two wins came fresh; one of the more interesting runners.
7th	1 7th (1) (50/1 +0%) Longuerue	50 50/1(+0%)	(1) Longuerue 50/1, Winner at Nottingham in May. 50/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (12f, good to firm) 59 days ago. Has work to do. Struggled badly since a successful debut for this yard in the spring; has it to prove.
8th	11 8th (11) (100/1 -100%) Al Kherb	100 100/1(-100%)	(11) Al Kherb 100/1, 80/1, sole run for Sarah Bowen when eighth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Bangor (16.7f, good) 63 days ago. Two poor runs since back from over a year off; hard to know how much ability he retains.
9th	8 9th (8) (14/1 +13%) Scotch Mist	14 14/1(+13%)	(8) Scotch Mist 14/1, 11/1, only sixth of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (16f, heavy) 19 days ago. Back down in trip. Blinkers on 1st time. Has regressed since handicapping; tried in first-time headgear as she comes down in trip.
12	12 \|U\| (12) (25/1 +0%) Crossbeau	25 25/1(+0%)	(12) Crossbeau 25/1, 11/2, first run since leaving Ian McInnes when respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 16 days ago. Possibilities. Inclined to pull hard when below market expectations last time and needs to settle better.
10th	7 10th (7) (50/1 -150%) Triple Nickle	50 50/1(-150%)	(7) Triple Nickle 50/1, Course winner. Creditable third of 4 in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good to soft), needing stronger gallop. Off 13 months with her fitness to prove. Course winner who's fine on soft ground; might need this after more than a year off.

LTO Selection:

CHERRYHAWK was only denied by half a length over C&D last week and she is able to compete off the same rating here. The daughter of Hawkbill has top amateur Simon Wailker booked and she can go one better. Ship To Shore stays a lot further than this and his stamina could aid his cause in testing conditions, so he has to be considered. Scotch Mist sports first-time blinkers and she completes the shortlist.

CHERRYHAWK can race off the same mark as when a very good recent C&D second so is fancied to gain a deserved breakthrough success at the chief expense of Fair Dinkum, who should find this stiffer stamina test under these conditions to his benefit. Ship To Shore appeals as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

Ship To Shore and Cherryhawk should go well but everything looks in place for DAS KAPITAL on his favoured ground.

13:25 Windsor Handicap (Class 6) 11f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:55 Windsor Stakes (Class 5) 5f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (2/9 +33%) Solar Aclaim	0.222222 2/9(+33%)	(1) Solar Aclaim 2/9, Promising sort. Winner at Salisbury in September. 3/1, very good second of 9 in minor event there (6f, heavy) 18 days ago. Can progress further and looks the one to beat. 6f winner on debut & better form when second back at Salisbury latest; sets clear standard.
2	2 2nd (2) (9/2 -29%) Mrs Thrump	4.5 9/2(-29%)	(2) Mrs Thrump 9/2, 25/1, fifth of 9 in minor event at Salisbury (6f, heavy) on debut 18 days ago, not knocked about. Open to improvement. Over 5l behind Solar Aclaim on her debut but shaped nicely all the same; more to come.
3	4 3rd (4) (22/1 -38%) Cremone	22 22/1(-38%)	(4) Cremone 22/1, 22/1, eighth of 11 in maiden at Wolverhampton (6.1f) on debut 14 days ago, not knocked about. Can take a step forward. Nibbled in betting before recent Wolverhampton debut & hinted at ability; can do better.
4	5 4th (5) (28/1 -75%) Pearl Of Rowdown	28 28/1(-75%)	(5) Pearl Of Rowdown 28/1, Ninth of 12 in maiden at Kempton (6f, 150/1) on debut 40 days ago. Significantly more is required. Last month's Kempton debut (6f) wasn't without hope but big step forward required.

LTO Selection:

SOLAR ACLAIM (second) had Mrs Thrump (fifth) behind when runner-up in a conditions event at Salisbury last time and that form reads very well in the context of this race. The son of Aclaim should have more to come and could prove tough to beat. As for the latter, that was her debut and she is likely to take a step forward from that display. Cremone is the pick of the remainder.

SOLAR ACLAIM holds the clear edge on form and with further progress very much on the cards he gets a confident vote to quickly resume winning ways. Mrs Thrump and Cremone appeal as much the pick of the remaining quartet and can chase home Roger Teal's promising son of Aclaim in that order.

Solar Aclaim sets a clear standard but MRS THRUMP could have learned a lot from her debut and may reverse the placings this time.

13:55 Windsor Stakes (Class 5) 5f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:15 Plumpton Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (4/5 +36%) Western Soldier	0.8 4/5(+36%)	(4) Western Soldier 4/5, Useful on the Flat in Germany, winning 5 on the bounce towards the end of last year. Failed to transfer that level of form to hurdles at the first attempt at Sedgefield (16.8f, good to soft) recently, but still went close and ought to improve. Useful Flat performer in Germany and he went close on recent hurdling debut; big player.
2	9 2nd (9) (3/1 +54%) Flidais	3 3/1(+54%)	(9) Flidais 3/1, Landed a Kilbeggan maiden hurdle (18.3f, good to soft) in June. Has failed to build on that since, but this Irish raider is respected nonetheless. Easy win at Kilbeggan (2m2f) in June but she's not come close to that level since.
3	8 3rd (8) (66/1 -32%) Eliza Dolittle	66 66/1(-32%)	(8) Eliza Dolittle 66/1, Bred to be better at longer trips over jumps and hasn't shown much in 4 starts so far, most recently well held on first completed start over hurdles in a C&D maiden 6 months ago. Some ability in bumpers but no joy in two hurdle runs and is best watched on return.
4	5 4th (5) (16/1 +76%) Berlais Du George	16 16/1(+76%)	(5) Berlais Du George 16/1, Safely held starting out in a Kempton bumper in February and similar scenario anticipated now switched to hurdles. In rear at a big price in his sole bumper and is best watched on hurdling debut.
5th	7 5th (7) (9/2 -64%) Sangiovese	4.5 9/2(-64%)	(7) Sangiovese 9/2, Half-brother to Abingworth, a fair hurdler for these connections, and finished a clear second to an odds-on shot in a Newton Abbot (16.8f, good) bumper on debut in July. Should make his presence felt if handling conditions now switched to hurdles. Showed promise in a bumper in July and he's out of a five-time hurdle winner; interesting.
6th	6 6th (6) (25/1 +50%) Good Lord	25 25/1(+50%)	(6) Good Lord 25/1, Fair winner over 11f from 3 starts on Flat in Germany. Subsequently sold out of Marcel Weiss yard for €19,000 and failed to beat a rival on hurdles debut at Ludlow in January. Flat winner in Germany but he made a low-key start over hurdles at Ludlow in January.
7th	1 7th (1) (250/1 -150%) Crookbarrow	250 250/1(-150%)	(1) Crookbarrow 250/1, Well held sole start in bumpers and subsequently pulled up at big prices in maiden/novice hurdles at Fontwell. Now tried in cheekpieces. Pulled up in both his hurdle runs (2m5f/2m3f) and can only be watched.
8th	10 8th (10) (14/1 +30%) Tooting	14 14/1(+30%)	(10) Tooting 14/1, Shantaram filly out of a 2¾m hurdle winner, herself a half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (19f-3m winner) Mill Quest. Watch the betting for clues. Out of 2m5f/2m6f hurdle winner; stablemate of Time Theft and market should guide on debut.

LTO Selection:

WESTERN SOLDIER was Group 3-placed when trained on the Flat in Germany, and he posted an excellent third on his hurdles debut 12 days ago. Natural improvement might be enough to see Milton Harris' charge strike, while Flidais, who sets the standard on official ratings, might be the main danger. Sangiovese hit the woodwork on his sole bumper start and must be of interest now sent over timber.

WESTERN SOLDIER, a useful performer on the Flat in Germany, was a close third on his recent hurdles debut at Sedgefield and, with the promise of better to come, he is taken to strike. If Sangiovese takes to hurdles at the first attempt and handles the likely testing conditions, he could be the one to emerge as the main danger. Irish challenger Flidais also enters calculations, while Onewayortother remains of interest but there's a suspicion that he'll need better ground.

Top of the list is the useful Flat performer WESTERN SOLDIER, who went close on his recent hurdling debut at Sedgefield.

14:15 Plumpton Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:25 Windsor Handicap (Class 4) 10f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (3/1 +0%) Hakuna Babe	3 3/1(+0%)	(8) Hakuna Babe 3/1, 3/1, decent third of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy) 27 days ago, faring best of those held up. Clearly handles plenty of cut in the ground and she's one for the shortlist. Still to win but doesn't look to do a lot wrong and is proven under these conditions.
2	4 2nd (4) (5/1 +23%) Monteria	5 5/1(+23%)	(4) Monteria 5/1, C&D winner. 16/1, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Salisbury (9.9f, heavy) 18 days ago, well positioned. 2 lb rise fair enough and should make his presence felt. Two 1m2f soft-ground wins to his name, including over C&D; is one to consider.
3	3 3rd (3) (11/2 -57%) Classic Times	5.5 11/2(-57%)	(3) Classic Times 11/2, Lightly-raced winner. Successful at Sandown in September. Fourth of 5 in handicap (11/4) at Hamilton (8.3f, soft) 21 days ago. Up in trip and while she needs to find some improvement, you could hardly label her as exposed. Found out by an 11lb rise last time; today's longer trip isn't certain to suit on pedigree.
4	5 4th (5) (3/1 +10%) Miller Spirit	3 3/1(+10%)	(5) Miller Spirit 3/1, Winner at Sandown in September. Last of 5 in handicap at Haydock (14f, soft, 9/2) 24 days ago, unsuited by step up in trip. Now tried in a visor and, back down in trip with conditions to suit, he needs considering. Didn't see out 1m6f under a penalty last time and should do better switched to a visor.
5th	9 5th (9) (5/1 +58%) Orange Martini	5 5/1(+58%)	(9) Orange Martini 5/1, 7/1, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, soft) 21 days ago. May well come on for that run (was returning from a 4-month break) and not without each-way hope. Lightly raced and hasn't had the breaks since handicapping this season; should go well.
6th	6 6th (6) (40/1 -21%) Kotari	40 40/1(-21%)	(6) Kotari 40/1, Second of 7 in minor event at Nimes (9.4f, good) on final start for Jean-Claude Rouget last November. Will need to improve in order to make a winning handicap debut for new connections and conditions are a worry (well held sole start on soft; unraced on heavy). Ex-French maiden; worth tracking in the market but Miller Spirit looks yard's best chance.
7th	10 7th (10) (18/1 -100%) Ellexis	18 18/1(-100%)	(10) Ellexis 18/1, Very good second of 12 in handicap (33/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 18 days ago. That represented a firm step back in the right direction and she's one to be interested in, albeit stepping into the unknown conditions-wise here (untried on ground slower than good). Better up from 7f to 1m2f latest; best to date on the AW and conditions are an unknown.
8th	2 8th (2) (28/1 -75%) Arcadian Nights	28 28/1(-75%)	(2) Arcadian Nights 28/1, Eight wins from 31 Flat runs. 3 wins from 8 runs this year. Seventh of 11 in handicap (12/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 46 days ago. Not sure that ground this slow will be in his favour. 11lb higher than when last successful on grass; nothing to suggest he wants this ground.
9th	7 9th (7) (80/1 -220%) Pride Of Nepal	80 80/1(-220%)	(7) Pride Of Nepal 80/1, C&D winner. 6/1 and blinkered for 1st time, eighth of 10 in handicap at this course (11.4f, good to firm). Off 154 days and cheekpieces back on. Best turf form has come on faster ground and he's opposable. Said to have been unsuited by heavy ground here as a 3yo; conditions the obvious concern.
10th	1 10th (1) (18/1 -29%) Deja	18 18/1(-29%)	(1) Deja 18/1, 40/1, last of 21 in handicap at Doncaster (11.9f, heavy) when last seen 11 months ago. Has dropped a long way in the weights (latest win gained off 18 lb higher back in July 2020) and he relishes testing conditions, so dangerous to discount now eased in class, for all that he a fair bit to prove. More than three years since he ran well and it's hard to know what he's capable of now.

LTO Selection:

Monteria just managed to get up at Salisbury over this trip on his latest outing and has to be respected off only a 2lb higher rating. However, preference is for HAKUNA BABE, who was third at Nottingham last month and she could prove to be a cut above her rivals at this level off the same mark. Classic Times also takes a drop in grade and is next best.

A deserved first taste of success could be on the cards for HAKUNA BABE, who hasn't done much since switched to handicaps, including when third off the mark at Nottingham last month. She is taken to strike with the in-form Hollie Doyle doing the steering. The step up to 1¾m was a bridge too far for Miller Spirit last time and he is strongly respected back down in trip. Ellexis should be winning soon if building on her back-to-form second at Chelmsford, but she is unproven on slow ground.

Concerns over a few of these and MILLER SPIRIT makes most appeal on his Sandown beating of a progressive sort off 4lb lower last month.

14:25 Windsor Handicap (Class 4) 10f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:45 Plumpton Handicap Chase (Class 5) 26f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (16/5 +29%) Kadex	3.2 16/5(+29%)	(1) Kadex 16/5, Won twice over hurdles in France but only one real effort of note in that sphere for present stable last term. Easy to back and ultimately failed to stop the slide on return/chase debut at Warwick (20f) 4 weeks ago and needs to leave that well behind to figure here. Pulled up in final two runs last season and was tailed off on his chase debut last month.
2	3 2nd (3) (11/8 +15%) Ya Know Yaseff	1.375 11/8(+15%)	(3) Ya Know Yaseff 11/8, Improved fitted with blinkers, winning handicaps at Worcester/Newton Abbot (at up to 25.7f) last month. Possibly found third quick run coming too soon at Uttoxeter (3m) thereafter. Given a 5-week break and no surprise to see a better showing. Disappointing last time but that was after two wins and she could resume her progress here.
3	4 3rd (4) (2/1 +33%) Redbridge Rosie	2 2/1(+33%)	(4) Redbridge Rosie 2/1, Maiden who proved disappointing in handful of starts last season but showed benefit of reappearance run when second of 14 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (23.3f, soft) 5 weeks ago, no match for a less exposed sort. Not out of things if she can build on that returned to chasing. Good second of 14 over hurdles at Uttoxeter latest and she has claims back over fences.
4	2 4th (2) (10/1 -233%) Highland Sting	10 10/1(-233%)	(2) Highland Sting 10/1, Irish raider who is a long-standing maiden over hurdles/fences and, despite attracting support, he produced another disappointing display when well held fourth over fences at Sligo (25.8f) 26 days ago. Interesting if support comes for him again here. 23-race maiden who made it 0-8 over fences when tailed off at Sligo last month; opposable.

LTO Selection:

With conditions likely to be testing, it might pay to side with KADEX. A winner on heavy ground when trained in France, he ran well for a long way when sent over fences at Warwick last month. The step up in trip could unlock some improvement and a subsequent 4lb ease in the handicap ought to further aid his chance. Ya Know Yaseff was unable to complete his hat-trick last time but should be thereabouts along with Highland Sting.

A dual winner over fences last month, YA KNOW YASEFF possibly found a third run in quick succession catching up with her thereafter and, back from a 5-week break, she may well be up to resuming winning ways. Redbridge Rosie rates next best.

6yo YA KNOW YASEFF didn't fire in her hat-trick bid last time but that may have come too soon and she could resume her progress here.

14:45 Plumpton Handicap Chase (Class 5) 26f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:55 Windsor Handicap (Class 2) 5f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (15/8 +16%) Korker	1.875 15/8(+16%)	(1) Korker 15/8, Latest win at Beverley in September. Good second of 9 to Emaraaty Ana in listed race (7/2) at Ascot (5f, good to firm) 16 days ago, not ideally placed. Weighted to go close back in handicap company. Smart sprinter on his day; ran well in Listed event latest; handles soft, unraced on heavy.
2	8 2nd (8) (11/2 +54%) Punchbowl Flyer	5.5 11/2(+54%)	(8) Punchbowl Flyer 11/2, Course winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap (14/1) at Goodwood (6f, soft) 8 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. More is needed from 6 lb out of the handicap though. Heavy ground suits well; running himself back into form but 6lb out of the weights today.
3	2 3rd (2) (9/1 -20%) Chipstead	9 9/1(-20%)	(2) Chipstead 9/1, 14/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable fifth of 9 to Emaraaty Ana in listed race at Ascot (5f, good to firm) 16 days ago, well positioned. Looks competitive on form. Closely matched with Korker on recent Ascot run; effective on soft but query over heavy.
4	6 4th (6) (5/1 +0%) Woolhampton	5 5/1(+0%)	(6) Woolhampton 5/1, Latest win at Ascot in July. Creditable second of 13 in handicap at Ascot (5f, good to firm, 14/1) 16 days ago, nearest finish. Needs considering. Comes here in good form but needs a career best now faced with heavy ground for first time.
5th	3 5th (3) (11/2 -100%) Spoof	5.5 11/2(-100%)	(3) Spoof 11/2, 3-time C&D winner. 4 wins from 11 runs this year. 9/4, won 7-runner handicap at Nottingham (5f, heavy) 19 days ago. Can give another good account. Good record here and also on heavy ground; in form and set to go well once again.
6th	7 6th (7) (125/1 -400%) Crimson Sand	125 125/1(-400%)	(7) Crimson Sand 125/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. 20/1 and hooded for 1st time, last of 10 in handicap at this course (6f, heavy). Off 6 months. Has work to do. Useful on AW but off since finishing tailed off on soft ground here in April.
7th	4 7th (4) (4/1 +47%) Executive Decision	4 4/1(+47%)	(4) Executive Decision 4/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Chepstow in August. 9/1, eleventh of 16 in handicap at Ascot (6f, good) 17 days ago so needs to bounce back. Two 6f wins in August; held the last twice; hopes pinned on the drop to 5f reviving.
8th	5 8th (5) (25/1 -56%) Navello	25 25/1(-56%)	(5) Navello 25/1, Latest win at Epsom in June. 12/1, creditable ninth of 13 in handicap at Ascot (5f, firm) 44 days ago. Reliable sort who ought to be in the shake-up again. Won the Dash at Epsom off just 1lb higher; less good since and the ground is a query.

LTO Selection:

Two of SPOOF's wins this season have come on heavy ground, including last time out at Nottingham, and this looks like a perfect opportunity to double up off a mere 3lb higher mark. The eight-year-old has run off much higher ratings in the past and he is preferred to Korker, who drops in class having finished runner-up in Listed company at Ascot. Woolhampton has been knocking on the door of late and cannot be ruled out either.

A few with chances but KORKER looks on a good mark reverted to handicaps on the back of a good Ascot listed second so edges the vote. Chipstead came home fifth in that race and merits consideration too along with 3-time C&D winner Spoof and the consistent Navello.

Spoof should be in the thick of it but KORKER might have the class to defy top weight.

14:55 Windsor Handicap (Class 2) 5f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:15 Plumpton Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (5/4 +64%) King Otis	1.25 5/4(+64%)	(6) King Otis 5/4, Modest maiden hurdler who has yet to trouble the judge. However, he wouldn't be the first to benefit from the switch to the up-and-coming James Owen yard and needs a close look in the betting. 14-race maiden who has struggled in handicaps and has plenty to prove for another new yard.
2	2 2nd (2) (9/4 +36%) Embolden	2.25 9/4(+36%)	(2) Embolden 9/4, Mixed bag, some good efforts interspersed with some lesser ones, but he's 3 lb lower than for his first hurdles success over 17.7f here in April and put in a good shift when third at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) recently. Likely player. Course winner who was placed at Uttoxeter last time; big player if he can back that up.
3	3 3rd (3) (9/1 +10%) Mi Sueno	9 9/1(+10%)	(3) Mi Sueno 9/1, Best effort yet when runner-up in a Cartmel handicap on final start for Peter Flood in June. Poor effort on debut for this yard on the Flat but wasn't disgraced back in this sphere at Fontwell (19.2f, good) recently and he's not without each-way hope. 0-12 but he looks on a workable mark and could go well on this drop back in trip.
4	1 4th (1) (7/1 -75%) Star Legend	7 7/1(-75%)	(1) Star Legend 7/1, Fair on the Flat for William Haggas and stepped up on low-key handicap debut in this sphere when third of 9 at Southwell (15.8f, good to firm) last month. Failed to build on that with cheekpieces enlisted next time (discarded here) and hood now refitted. Yard also saddles King Otis. Disappointing latest but looks interesting on his close third at Southwell last month.
5th	7 5th (7) (22/1 -83%) Onnaroll	22 22/1(-83%)	(7) Onnaroll 22/1, Offered little first 8 starts over hurdles but looked a different proposition when, despite being 12 lb out of the handicap, finding just one too good at Fontwell (17.7f, good) on penultimate start. However, he failed to back that up on slow ground at Worcester since. Second at Fontwell but he failed to back that up at Worcester (pulled up); down the list.
6th	8 6th (8) (66/1 -32%) Milton Boy	66 66/1(-32%)	(8) Milton Boy 66/1, Little impact in 3 starts in this sphere to date and major step forward needed now pitched into a handicap. Yard saddles a potentially stronger candidate in Hobsons Bay. Unexposed handicap newcomer but he needs major improvement after seven months off.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (12/1 -85%) Deal Em High	12 12/1(-85%)	(5) Deal Em High 12/1, Bumper winner who was runner-up in a Ffos Las maiden in May and latest fourth of 10 in a Stratford handicap (16.3f, good) was a creditable effort. 2 lb lower here and could have a part to play if handling conditions. Needs to find more back from a short break and his best form has come on good ground.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (16/1 -300%) Hobsons Bay	16 16/1(-300%)	(4) Hobsons Bay 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden on the level and has offered little in 3 starts over hurdles to date. On the upside, he makes his handicap debut in this sphere on a lowly mark and is fitted with a visor here (went close sole start in this headgear on the Flat last year). Unexposed in this sphere but he needs a transformation on his handicap hurdle debut.

LTO Selection:

DEAL EM HIGH posted a creditable fourth at Stratford in August and Debra Hamer's unexposed hurdler, who had shown signs of ability in maiden company previously, receives a tentative vote off 2lb lower. Embolden arrives in decent form and he is unlikely to be far away, while Star Legend should not be underestimated with Harry Cobden taking over in the plate.

None of these look especially solid and EMBOLDEN is the obvious place to turn on the back of a good effort at Uttoxeter a couple of weeks ago. He's slipped below the mark off which he opened his hurdles account here during the spring and conditions won't be an issue for this 6-y-o. King Otis will be of interest starting out for James Owen if the market vibes are upbeat, while Deal Em High also enters calculations. Hobsons Bay is also worth a second look on his handicap debut in this sphere.

The vote goes to EMBOLDEN, who is 3lb lower than for his course win in the spring and was a creditable third at Uttoxeter 15 days ago.

1	2 1st (2) (4/1 +43%) Lhebayeb	4 4/1(+43%)	(2) Lhebayeb 4/1, Latest win at Bath in August. 10/3, shaped as if still in good form when fading fourth of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy) 12 days ago. No forlorn hope. Below market expectations on heavy going last time; is weighted to her best now.
2	3 2nd (3) (7/1 +30%) Dotties Star	7 7/1(+30%)	(3) Dotties Star 7/1, Below-par fifth of 8 in handicap at Epsom (10.1f, good to firm, 7/1) 39 days ago. Can make presence felt if shrugging off latest effort. Regressive maiden who can pull hard and hasn't always looked the easiest; risks involved.
3	8 3rd (8) (10/3 -21%) Assembled	3.333333 10/3(-21%)	(8) Assembled 10/3, Won 11-runner handicap at this course (11.4f, good to soft, 9/1) 7 days ago, always holding on. Another bold showing is on the cards under a 4 lb penalty. Made it 2-2 here when winning over 1m3f last Monday; has to enter calculations.
4	5 4th (5) (15/2 +25%) Fullforward	7.5 15/2(+25%)	(5) Fullforward 15/2, Course winner. Latest win here in August. 20/1, fair ninth of 11 to Assembled in handicap at this course (11.4f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Possibilities. Entitled to at least close the gap on Assembled on 4lb better terms if more amenable.
5th	9 5th (9) (8/1 -45%) Jimmy Mark	8 8/1(-45%)	(9) Jimmy Mark 8/1, Latest win at Bath in September. Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 3/1) 18 days ago, not ideally placed. Well in the mix. Another solid effort in defeat on Polytrack latest; obvious chance if he handles the going.
6th	1 6th (1) (8/1 +20%) Change Of Fortune	8 8/1(+20%)	(1) Change Of Fortune 8/1, 11/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at this course (11.4f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Others more persuasive. Regressive maiden; drops to 0-60 company for the first time but others make more appeal.
7th	7 7th (7) (9/2 +25%) Bush Rose	4.5 9/2(+25%)	(7) Bush Rose 9/2, Improved on recent efforts to win 13-runner handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, soft, 28/1) 7 days ago. Not taken lightly under a 6 lb penalty. Soft ground made the difference last Monday; leading claims under a 6lb penalty.
8th	4 8th (4) (20/1 -400%) Superluminal	20 20/1(-400%)	(4) Superluminal 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 8 in handicap (66/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f). Off 98 days. Significantly up in trip with work to do. Sole turf effort a cut above his four AW runs; is worth tracking in the market.
9th	6 9th (6) (66/1 -65%) House Of Dragons	66 66/1(-65%)	(6) House Of Dragons 66/1, Tenth of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 80/1). Off 133 days. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Limited maiden (6f-1m2f) who struggled in early summer; hard to fancy back from a break.

LTO Selection:

Turned out again quickly after a taking success at Yarmouth last week, BUSH ROSE must hold every chance of following up despite a 6lb penalty. Conditions are in her favour once again and she may have too much for the likes of the recent course-winner Assembled and Jimmy Mark, who wasn't beaten far at Lingfield last time out and that followed a determined success at Bath.

ASSEMBLED got back to winning ways here a week ago and rates the pick of these weights saddling just a 4 lb penalty so looks the way to go again. Jimmy Mark didn't enjoy the rub of the green when fourth at Lingfield last time and rates a big threat however with both Bush Rose and Lhebayeb not discounted either in an open handicap.

Last Monday's winner BUSH ROSE is fanced to follow up at the main expense of Assembled. Watch Superluminal in the market.

A 5 lb penalty is unlikely to stop him if in similar form. Won readily by 5l in first-time blinkers at Newcastle on Tuesday; has 5lb penalty here.
2	7 2nd (7) (22/1 +12%) Sir Titan	22 22/1(+12%)	(7) Sir Titan 22/1, C&D winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2021. Respectable third of 7 in handicap at Brighton (7f, heavy, 5/1) 35 days ago. Ran quite well on soft turf last month but this front-runner hasn't won since 2021.
3	1 3rd (1) (5/1 +17%) Galileo Glass	5 5/1(+17%)	(1) Galileo Glass 5/1, C&D winner in September. 4/1, creditable third of 13 in handicap at Catterick (7f, soft) 41 days ago. Player under Murphy. Consistent 4yo; scored over C&D last month and has since run well on slow turf; respected.
4	11 4th (11) (12/1 +14%) Laertes	12 12/1(+14%)	(11) Laertes 12/1, Still a maiden. 9/1, respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford (6f) 23 days ago. It's likely the wait for a first win will go on a bit longer. Didn't run badly over 6f last time but others in this field have much stronger claims.
5th	10 5th (10) (11/1 +0%) Thoughtful Gift	11 11/1(+0%)	(10) Thoughtful Gift 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Off 16 months, positive start for new yard when third of 10 in handicap at this course (8.6f) 20 days ago. Ran well over 8.6f here on recent stable debut and remains lightly raced; major player.
6th	5 6th (5) (17/2 +15%) Gracelands Girl	8.5 17/2(+15%)	(5) Gracelands Girl 17/2, Respectable fourth of 13 in handicap (6/1) at Ayr (1m, good to soft) 31 days ago. Each-way contender for in-form stable. 0-14 but made the frame in two 1m turf races last month and 7f on Tapeta also suits.
7th	6 7th (6) (14/1 -115%) Coaxing	14 14/1(-115%)	(6) Coaxing 14/1, Step back in right direction when 2 lengths fourth of 10 to Catesby in handicap at Southwell (6f) 13 days ago. Well treated if she can build on that (won off 5 lb higher at start of year). Kept on well for fourth over 6f this month and today's return to 7f will suit; good chance.
8th	3 8th (3) (28/1 -75%) Red Dwarf	28 28/1(-75%)	(3) Red Dwarf 28/1, Third in 3 AW maiden/novice events for Patrick Leech in late 2021/early 2022. One to note in the betting now setting out a shrewd new stable after 19 months off. Makes stable/handicap debut after 588-day absence; market likely to point the way.

LTO Selection:

The Caltonian has to be respected following his impressive victory at Newcastle last week, but he is not the most consistent and carries a 5lb penalty. With that in mind, preference is for CATESBY, who accounted for a subsequent winner at Southwell recently and a 4lb rise for that success appears to be fair. Others to note are Galileo Glass and Sir Titan.

If THE CALTONIAN is in the same form as at Newcastle last week he'll be hard to beat. The well-treated Coaxing revived back on AW last time and is second choice ahead of Galileo Glass, the mount of Oisin Murphy, and Tim Easterby's Gracelands Girl.

The pick is COAXING, who shaped as though back in form when keeping on over 6f a fortnight ago and now returns to her optimum trip.

1	5 1st (5) (15/8 +37%) Sacre Coeur	1.875 15/8(+37%)	(5) Sacre Coeur 15/8, Only her third outing for Dan Skelton when making all back chasing at Fontwell (21.5f) 17 days ago. Looked well suited by the switch to front-running tactics and a 3 lb rise doesn't look enough to stop her. Dominated from the front on recent return to chasing at Fontwell; could be hard to catch.
2	2 2nd (2) (7/1 -40%) Deeper Blue	7 7/1(-40%)	(2) Deeper Blue 7/1, Improved when winning maiden and handicap hurdles in spring 2022. Shaped as if needing the run on his Uttoxeter chase debut a year ago but not seen since. Open to progress over fences but a watching brief is perhaps the percentage call this time. Made low-key start to chasing career a year ago and not seen again since.
3	1 3rd (1) (9/2 -29%) Lord Baddesley	4.5 9/2(-29%)	(1) Lord Baddesley 9/2, Won a handicap hurdle here last autumn and showed he's at least as effective over fences when landing a C&D handicap in February. Another solid run here when third in April on his final start last season. Capable fresh and the stable won this race last year. Won over hurdles and fences here last season; on a workable mark and enters calculations.
4	8 4th (8) (15/2 +46%) Flagrant Delitiep	7.5 15/2(+46%)	(8) Flagrant Delitiep 15/2, More miss than hit last season but his mark has come down a long way as a result (won off 17 lb higher in spring 2022) so he is well treated if staging a revival after a break. Dropped a long way down the weights during disappointing campaign last season.
5th	4 5th (4) (7/2 +71%) Abuffalosoldier	3.5 7/2(+71%)	(4) Abuffalosoldier 7/2, Won a 3m Newbury handicap hurdle last November but lost his way a little after finishing a good third at Cheltenham on New Year's Day. Makes chase debut back from 5 months off. 2-8 over hurdles; an interesting recruit to chasing but his best form is over 3m.
6th	7 6th (7) (12/1 -20%) Fairway Freddy	12 12/1(-20%)	(7) Fairway Freddy 12/1, Won a 21f Stratford handicap chase last October and just as good when runner up twice here later in the season (including in this race). Off 5 months, not at best when a well-held second of 4 at Fontwell 16 days ago but he might be sharper with the run behind him. Three-time course winner who returned from a break with an encouraging run last month.
3	3 \|U\| (3) (12/1 +25%) Zacony Rebel	12 12/1(+25%)	(3) Zacony Rebel 12/1, Dual hurdle winner who struck on his Fontwell chase debut last autumn but rather disappointingly failed to build on that subsequently. His good record when fresh makes him a dangerous one to dismiss but it's hard to be confident about him. Impressed on chasing debut last October but seems to have lost his way.

LTO Selection:

SACRE COEUR went in by two lengths last time at Fontwell and that was in a class 2 event. The daughter of Montmartre was only put up 3lb for that and she could prove hard to beat. In The Air struck over the smaller obstacles when last seen in May and has to be of interest on his chase debut, while Lord Baddesley makes his return to the fray and is another to note.

SACRE COEUR looked a different mare for a switch to front-running tactics back chasing last time and a 3 lb rise may not stop her. Chris Gordon won this race last year and his Lord Baddesley, who has gone well fresh before, is second choice ahead of Gary Moore chase newcomer In The Air.

After an encouraging reappearance run at Fontwell last month, FAIRWAY FREDDIE is selected to enhance his very good Plumpton record.

4	14 4th (14) (10/3 +52%) Astronomica	3.333333 10/3(+52%)	(14) Astronomica 10/3, C&D winner. 5/2, creditable second of 14 in handicap at Leicester (8.2f, good to soft) 28 days ago, no match for winner.

7th	7 7th (7) (16/1 +20%) Majestic Newlaw	16 16/1(+20%)	(7) Majestic Newlaw 16/1, 16/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 35 days ago. First-time cheekpieces and tongue strap now enlisted, and he needs to get back on track. Goes in first-time tongue-tie/cheekpieces; softer ground may help but has it to prove now.
8th	11 8th (11) (22/1 -10%) Thewaytothestars	22 22/1(-10%)	(11) Thewaytothestars 22/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in August. Eighth of 12 in handicap (11/1) at Leicester (7f, good) 13 days ago. Handled testing conditions well when scoring at Ffos Las during the summer and she's by no means a forlorn hope. Not as good since two wins and stamina would be a slight cause for concern today.
9th	5 9th (5) (10/1 -43%) Darvel	10 10/1(-43%)	(5) Darvel 10/1, Latest win at Brighton in July. Creditable second of 14 in handicap (22/1) at Bath (8f, soft) 21 days ago, no match for winner. Expected to be bang there. Often makes the running; it's hard to find any negatives, so he needs considering.
10th	12 10th (12) (20/1 +39%) Vitalline	20 20/1(+39%)	(12) Vitalline 20/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Seventh of 10 in handicap (25/1) at this course (11.4f, good to firm) 14 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Down in trip and he has work to do. Has won on soft ground; not a huge surprise to see him pop up coming right down in trip.
11th	8 11th (8) (15/2 -50%) Roundabout Silver	7.5 15/2(-50%)	(8) Roundabout Silver 15/2, Latest win at Bath in August. Good second of 13 in handicap at Bath (8f, soft, 10/3) 21 days ago. Has to be taken seriously in current form. Switch to more aggressive tactics has helped; enters calculations off the same mark again.
12th	9 12th (9) (12/1 +14%) Rival	12 12/1(+14%)	(9) Rival 12/1, Ninth of 11 in handicap (16/1) at Bath (8f, good to firm) 40 days ago. Others look stronger. Handles these conditions and wouldn't be without hope off a career-low mark.

Off 11 months and it's probably best to look elsewhere. Done all racing over further since handicapping; watch the market back from a year off.
14th	4 14th (4) (150/1 -200%) Melody Cher	150 150/1(-200%)	(4) Melody Cher 150/1, Last of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, soft, 18/1) 7 days ago, looking temperamental. Hopes pinned on the addition of cheekpieces sparking improvement. Would want to see good support in first-time cheekpieces before considering her.

LTO Selection:

A consistent performer of late, this can go the way of ROUNDABOUT SILVER, who was second off this mark at Bath last time. He gets the vote ahead of the recent Sandown runner-up Kynsa and Darvel, who put in a solid effort at Bath earlier in the month. Others to note in an open event include Astronomica, Dubai Dreamer and Equion.

Though DARVEL isn't the most reliable, he is appealing on the back of a solid effort at Bath where he found only an upwardly mobile rival too strong. The 5-y-o is taken to go one better here, perhaps at the chief expense of the consistent Roundabout Silver, who also hit the crossbar on that same card as the selection at Bath 3 weeks ago. Kynsa and Astronomica both arrive in good heart, too, while Dubai Dreamer is also accorded respect.

Kynsa and Roundabout Silver are shortlisted but the progressive ASTRONOMICA (nap) gets the nod back on her favoured ground.

LTO Selection:

BATTLE QUEEN displayed plenty of promise when filling third place on her debut at Southwell a couple of weeks ago and the daughter of Churchill could be hard to beat with the benefit of that experience. Secret World has a similar profile to the selection and she has to be of interest, while Dark Sun is another with valid form claims. Jeanne D'arc is a half-sister to the Listed winner Agrotera and is a newcomer to note.

BATTLE QUEEN isn't ideally drawn in stall 12 but she shaped with encouragement amidst inexperience when third on her recent debut at Southwell and should last longer this time, so receives the vote. Dark Sun seems sure to build on her opening effort at Haydock and rates a big threat, with newcomer Jeanne d'Arc also of interest.

Several have possibilities in an open-looking maiden. Marginal preference is for SECRET WORLD, ahead of Battle Queen.

5th	5 5th (5) (18/1 +18%) For Pleasure	18 18/1(+18%)	(5) For Pleasure 18/1, Free-going front runner who arrives out of sorts, beating only one at Cartmel in August. Has had a wind op since. Others appeal more. Smart in his prime but has not been firing on all cylinders for a while now.
6th	7 6th (7) (22/1 -300%) Diamond Egg	22 22/1(-300%)	(7) Diamond Egg 22/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time and much improved when landing 8-runner novice hurdle at Wincanton (15.2f, good to soft) in April. In good hands so he's much respected now returning for his handicap debut. Convincing maiden winner in April; should have more to offer in handicaps this season.
7th	6 7th (6) (6/1 +45%) Tapley	6 6/1(+45%)	(6) Tapley 6/1, C&D winner who shaped encouragingly after 5 months off when third of 4 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (17.7f, good) 17 days ago. Well in the mix with that outing under his belt. C&D maiden winner last season; ran okay when back in action this month; a possible.
8th	2 8th (2) (7/1 -8%) Toothless	7 7/1(-8%)	(2) Toothless 7/1, Dual 2m hurdles winner early in 2023 but pulled up in handicap hurdle at Newbury (18.8f, soft) when last seen out 7 months ago. Has since had a wind op and can't be discounted on his return. Dual winner in novice company last season; pulled up on handicap debut in March.
9	9 \|U\| (9) (18/1 -112%) Tara Iti	18 18/1(-112%)	(9) Tara Iti 18/1, 10/3, recorded a career best when winning 7-runner handicap hurdle at Fontwell (17.7f, good) in June. This C&D winner has gone well fresh and must enter calculations. Battled well to win at Fontwell in June but looks vulnerable in this stronger race.

LTO Selection:

UGGY UGGY UGGY was a comfortable eight-length victor on his latest outing at Warwick and, considering the manner of that victory, he could be very difficult to beat even off a 10lb higher rating. The main danger is Tara Iti after his success at Fontwell over an extended 2m1f, as he only has a 3lb rise to contend with. Of the remainder, Tapley makes the most appeal.

This looks wide open but the form of UGGY UGGY UGGY's recent Warwick success is working out so this strong-traveller is taken to bag a third hurdling success and defy a career-high mark. C&D winner Tapley heads the list of dangers on the back of his encouraging Fontwell return, although Arqoob, Small Bad Bob, Tara Iti and Toothless all need factoring in too.

After chasing home an improver on his recent stable debut, SMALL BAD BOB (nap) remains very well handicapped on older form.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	9 1st (9) (14/1 +65%) Mayz	14 14/1(+65%)	(9) Mayz 14/1, 80/1, tenth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 26 days ago and looks set for another struggle. Hasn't raised her game at all in handicaps and she needs improvement at this new trip.
2	7 2nd (7) (40/1 -186%) Rainbow Sign	40 40/1(-186%)	(7) Rainbow Sign 40/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Below form sixth of 10 in handicap (25/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 47 days ago. No more than an each-way squeak. Both wins were on AW last year and he's been beaten 7l or more in his last five runs.
3	6 3rd (6) (33/1 +18%) Sapperdean	33 33/1(+18%)	(6) Sapperdean 33/1, Last of 14 in handicap (40/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW). Off 142 days and he's hard to warm to. Has struggled in his six runs and needs a transformation on this switch to heavy ground.
4	3 4th (3) (6/4 -25%) Andromedas Kingdom	1.5 6/4(-25%)	(3) Andromedas Kingdom 6/4, Won 7-runner minor event (5/1) at Beverley (8.4f, heavy) 33 days ago, bit in hand. Bold show likely back in a handicap with similar conditions forecast. Has not been with Mick Appleby for long and won on soft at Beverley latest; key player.
5th	8 5th (8) (4/1 -14%) Tranquillity	4 4/1(-14%)	(8) Tranquillity 4/1, Below form seventh of 13 in handicap at Bath (8f, soft, 7/1) 21 days ago. Place possibilities. Inconsistent maiden but she enters the reckoning on her third at Ffos Las last month.
6th	4 6th (4) (9/1 -64%) Instinct	9 9/1(-64%)	(4) Instinct 9/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 80/1, first run since leaving Lawrence Mullaney when fourth of 6 in minor event at Epsom (10.1f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Needs to raise her game now handicapping, but that is entirely possible. Unexposed 3yo who looks a possible improver back in trip on handicap debut; market useful.
7th	10 7th (10) (28/1 -40%) King Elvis	28 28/1(-40%)	(10) King Elvis 28/1, Last of 10 in handicap (50/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 47 days ago. Hopes pinned on the addition of a hood prompting a sizeable step forward. Poor form in his six runs so far and a first-time hood needs to make a big difference.
8th	11 8th (11) (50/1 +24%) Spanish Storm	50 50/1(+24%)	(11) Spanish Storm 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eleventh of 13 in handicap (80/1) at Chepstow (7.1f, good to firm) 60 days ago. Readily passed over. Finished in rear in all of his five starts and he needs a transformation back up in trip.
9th	1 9th (1) (4/1 +47%) Espresso Freddo	4 4/1(+47%)	(1) Espresso Freddo 4/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 13/2, seventh of 10 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 44 days ago. Others make more appeal. Only one win from last 25 starts and well held in both runs for this yard; down the list.
10th	2 10th (2) (18/1 -13%) Qeyaady	18 18/1(-13%)	(2) Qeyaady 18/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. Tenth of 11 in handicap at this course (11.4f, good to soft, 80/1) 7 days ago, slowly away. Down in trip and blinkers on 1st time. Sole win was in May 2021 and he has plenty to prove back at this trip; first-time blinkers.
11th	5 11th (5) (14/1 +44%) Letter Of The Law	14 14/1(+44%)	(5) Letter Of The Law 14/1, Fifth of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, good to soft, 22/1) 28 days ago. Looks vulnerable. Prominent-racer who has lost his way in last four runs and needs to turn things around.

LTO Selection:

It's been a while since ESPRESSO FREDDO last tasted success, but he's plummeted in the ratings as a consequence. The son of Fast Company has shown signs of a revival recently, and it would be no surprise were he to bounce back eased a further 3lb in the handicap. Andromedas Kingdom remains unexposed over the mile, having won a classified event at Beverley last month, and she is noted along with Tranquillity.

It's hard to look beyond ANDROMEDAS KINGDOM, who belatedly opened her account in a classified race at Beverley last month and is on a good mark returned to handicap company. Tranquillity and Instinct can fill the places.

The one that stands out is Mick Appleby's ANDROMEDAS KINGDOM, who came good with a clearcut win in the mud at Beverley last month.

Hooded for debut at Nottingham (6f, good to soft) and trailed home last at 200-1.

LTO Selection:

GAMEKEEPER got going too late when finishing well to fill third place on his racecourse bow at York 10 days ago and it would be no surprise to see him get off the mark here. Monfrid is out of a mare who was Group 3 placed over 7f and the 140,000gns purchase has to be of some interest on his debut. The Cutest and On Song are other noteworthy newcomers.

The well-bred GAMEKEEPER made a very promising start at York recently and seems sure to do better so is hard to oppose. Newcomers Monfrid and On Song are interesting, while Give It Up has a good chance on the form of his Newmarket second behind the Dewhurst third Eben Shaddad.

Give It Up is feared but GAMEKEEPER entered many notebooks after the way he finished his race off at York ten days ago.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (13/8 +14%) Ideallko	1.625 13/8(+14%)	(6) Ideallko 13/8, Maiden hurdler but has made an excellent start over fences and scored in good style at Ffos Las (2m) eight days ago. Another bold showing is on the cards under a 7 lb penalty. Justified support at Ffos Las last Sunday and he's open to more progress back up in trip.
2	5 2nd (5) (10/1 -54%) King Of The Story	10 10/1(-54%)	(5) King Of The Story 10/1, Joined current yard in the summer and left his previous efforts well behind to land 2m5f Fontwell handicap chase. Run best ignored (badly hampered and rider lost irons four out) over C&D since. Considered. Fontwell winner who had an excuse here latest but he still has something to prove on soft.
3	3 3rd (3) (4/1 +67%) Guguss Collonges	4 4/1(+67%)	(3) Guguss Collonges 4/1, Winning chaser who took a step back in the right direction when second in a C&D selling handicap 44 days ago. Not discounted if building on that now. C&D winner who was second at Stratford on return last month; dangerous for in-form yard.
4	1 4th (1) (5/2 +0%) Gambie Tiep	2.5 5/2(+0%)	(1) Gambie Tiep 5/2, Made it 3-9 over fences with a strong front-running display at Bangor (17.4f, soft) 19 days ago. Remains open to improvement in this sphere and very much one to consider despite taking a 5 lb rise. Made it 4-7 for Ben Pauling when scoring in good style at Bangor 19 days ago; big player.
5th	4 5th (4) (11/2 +50%) En Coeur	5.5 11/2(+50%)	(4) En Coeur 11/2, Four-time course winner who resumed after another wind op with a creditable third of 4 in handicap chase at Fontwell (17.8f, good) 17 days ago. Not ruled out with that run under his belt. Well treated on his C&D win (soft) in January but he's not come close to that form since.

LTO Selection:

Ideallko won well at Ffos Las eight days ago and, with the longer trip of little concern, he appeals strongly under a 7lb penalty. Jack Doyen is also respected after an improved effort in cheekpieces (discarded today) at Warwick when last seen. However, GAMBIE TIEP edges the vote with his stamina and match fitness proven, and a 5lb higher mark for his Bangor success might not be enough to stop him.

None of these can be ruled out but the lightly-raced IDEALLKO rates the pick of the weights under a 7 lb penalty for his breakthrough Ffos Las success and with better still to come he gets the vote. Gambie Tiep also has better days ahead of him and rates a massive danger though, with King of The Story and Jack Doyen both firmly in the picture too in an intriguing handicap chase.

A competitive race in which GAMBIE TIEP gets the vote ahead of the other last-time-out winners in Ideallko and Jack Doyen.

Chance if rediscovering old form, but this 8-y-o needs to bounce back in a major way. Fine on this sort of ground for Ed de Giles but has looked on the downgrade this year.
2	4 2nd (4) (5/1 +0%) Magical Dragon	5 5/1(+0%)	(4) Magical Dragon 5/1, Won 11-runner handicap (17/2) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 18 days ago, just holding on. More on his plate here up 3 lb, but he could easily have a say in the finish. Stays further, which will help in the conditions, and arrives in good form; player.
3	6 3rd (6) (15/2 +53%) Daany	7.5 15/2(+53%)	(6) Daany 15/2, Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. Fifth of 10 in handicap (12/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 20 days ago. Likely to come up short once again. Offering a bit more since returned to the Flat; it wouldn't be a shock to see him pop up.
4	9 4th (9) (50/1 +0%) Ourdefence	50 50/1(+0%)	(9) Ourdefence 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 7 in handicap at Bath (8f, good, 100/1) 37 days ago, slowly away. First run for yard after leaving Nikki Evans. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Five poor efforts for Nikki Evans; goes in first-time headgear for her new yard.
5th	7 5th (7) (18/1 -50%) Rita Rana	18 18/1(-50%)	(7) Rita Rana 18/1, One win from 26 Flat runs. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Last of 11 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 33/1) 13 days ago. Significantly back down in trip and she's not without each-way hope. Plenty of short-priced convictions; far from straightforward but conditions will be fine.
6th	5 6th (5) (33/1 +34%) Jackie Diamond	33 33/1(+34%)	(5) Jackie Diamond 33/1, 66/1, last of 9 in handicap at Brighton (9.9f, good) 13 days ago, slowly away. Easy enough to look elsewhere. Went close at a big price on debut last summer but has achieved very little subsequently.
7th	2 7th (2) (3/1 -60%) Tilt At Windmills	3 3/1(-60%)	(2) Tilt At Windmills 3/1, 16/1, improved to win 6-runner handicap at Bath (8f, heavy) 5 days ago. Very much one to consider under a penalty here. Much better since tackling slow ground; major player even with a penalty.
8th	8 8th (8) (33/1 +18%) Balmy Breese	33 33/1(+18%)	(8) Balmy Breese 33/1, 25/1, last of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 16 days ago. Significantly down in trip and this 7-race maiden is hard to warm to. Needs to show something extra.
9th	1 9th (1) (2/1 -14%) Oh So Audacious	2 2/1(-14%)	(1) Oh So Audacious 2/1, C&D winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. 7/2, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Brighton (8f, good) 49 days ago, just holding on. Leading claims up 3 lb. Enjoying a good season; half-sister to two soft-ground winners, which gives hope.

LTO Selection:

TILT AT WINDMILLS struck on heavy ground at Bath five days ago and she appeals as the one to beat under a 6lb penalty, provided this quick turnaround isn't an inconvenience. Recent Lingfield scorer Magical Dragon ought to go well back on the grass, along with Oh So Audacious, who has been in good nick and would hold every chance if handling forecast conditions.

TILT AT WINDMILLS got the job done at the ninth time of asking at Bath last week and, with similar conditions expected here, she looks capable of defying a penalty. Oh So Audacious has won two of her last three starts, one of which was registered over this C&D in July and she is high on the shortlist, for all that she's untried on ground this slow. Magical Dragon, who narrowly prevailed at Lingfield, is also worthy of consideration.

Conditions are an unknown with OH SO AUDACIOUS but her pedigree gives hope and she's preferred to Tilt At Windmills.

First run for yard after leaving Kevin Philippart De Foy. First-time cheekpieces replace blinkers. The booking of Oisin Murphy takes the eye.

Seventh of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, soft, 7/1) 5 days ago. Back up in trip. Sole win over C&D in March 2022; can add to that when things fall right; this is tough.

His tendency to start slowly is a slight worry but he looks capable of winning a race like this. Slow starter; solid chance on 5f and 6f form at Newcastle; drawn wide.
11th	12 11th (12) (80/1 +20%) Beanie Blue	80 80/1(+20%)	(12) Beanie Blue 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 14 in handicap at Leicester (7f, good, 100/1) 28 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Well held in 4 starts, latest on handicap debut (7f, turf); tough task switched to AW.
12th	11 12th (11) (40/1 -150%) Sumac	40 40/1(-150%)	(11) Sumac 40/1, Off 6 months, respectable third of 9 in handicap (18/1) at Chelmsford (6f) 11 days ago. May strip fitter for the run and Tom Marquand takes the ride again. Yet to win but bits and pieces of 6f form on Polytrack/Tapeta; better for recent run.

LTO Selection:

HE'S AN ANGEL represents a yard which enjoyed a trio of winners on Saturday afternoon, including Art Power in the Group 1 Champions Sprint at Ascot. Tim Easterby's three-year-old is likely to get his head in front sooner rather than later judged on a pair of second-placed efforts recently at Newcastle and then Musselburgh. He can get the better of Chelmsford winner Endless Season and C&D scorer Billian.

HE'S AN ANGEL's tendency to miss the break doesn't make him one for maximum faith but there should be a race like this in him. Recent Chelmsford scorer Endless Season can give him most to do ahead of Time Patrol.

He's An Angel can be dangerous but TIME PATROL, winner of his handicap debut and open to improvement on the AW, may prove the pick.

1	1 1st (1) (4/1 -33%) Stamina Chope	4 4/1(-33%)	(1) Stamina Chope 4/1, Landed a small-field handicap chase in spring 2022. Drawn a blank since but she reacted well to a return to hurdles when runner-up twice at Worcester last month. Claims if showing up here in similar form. 0-17 over hurdles but good second at Worcester (2m4f/2m7f) last twice and she's respected.
2	2 2nd (2) (15/8 +25%) Shewearsthewellies	1.875 15/8(+25%)	(2) Shewearsthewellies 15/8, Left last season's efforts in maiden hurdles behind when making a successful handicap debut at Fontwell last month. Should remain very competitive after a 5 lb rise. Won on her handicap debut at Fontwell and she's open to more progress upped to this trip.
3	5 3rd (5) (11/1 +56%) Betty's Belle	11 11/1(+56%)	(5) Betty's Belle 11/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022, including well held on both starts for new yard this autumn. Has something to prove at present. On reduced mark but she's struggled in both runs for new yard and is now 0-11 over hurdles.
4	3 4th (3) (16/1 -146%) Baby Sham	16 16/1(-146%)	(3) Baby Sham 16/1, Won twice at the start of the summer. Excuses at Cartmel on her last 2 outings and could bounce back after a break (has had wind surgery). Had major blip last time but has claims if she can bounce back after a break; had wind op.
5th	4 5th (4) (9/4 +65%) Rubys Reward	2.25 9/4(+65%)	(4) Rubys Reward 9/4, Winner over 23f at Worcester in July and runner-up back there in August/September. A poor run at Ffos Las last week needs forgiving, though. A win and three seconds since June but she was pulled up at Ffos Las last Sunday.
6th	7 6th (7) (7/1 +30%) Princess Priya	7 7/1(+30%)	(7) Princess Priya 7/1, Beaten a long way in 3 maiden hurdles but she did show ability in bumpers and it's possible she'll fare better in this sphere now handicapping. All the more interesting if backed. Tailed off in her three hurdle runs (2m-2m7f) and needs a transformation on handicap debut.

LTO Selection:

Unexposed at the trip, SHEWEARSTHEWELLIES showed the benefit of a wind operation when she landed a similar contest at Fontwell last month, and she has a live chance of going in again off just 5lb higher. Baby Sham is an appealing alternative based on her peak form and may find improvement having also undergone wind surgery since her latest start. Stamina Chope is suggested as the pick of the remainder.

Perhaps SHEWEARSTHEWELLIES can make light of a 5 lb rise for Fontwell. Stamina Chope rates an obvious threat on the back of two runner-up efforts at Worcester. Well Paid Soldier and Princess Priya are potential improvers in handicaps and needs monitoring in the betting.

The vote goes to SHEWEARSTHEWELLIES who won on her handicap debut at Fontwell and is open to more progress on her step up to this trip.

1	2 1st (2) (3/1 +25%) Show Compassion	3 3/1(+25%)	(2) Show Compassion 3/1, C&D winner. Winner here in July. 4/1, respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 28 days ago. Good shout. C&D winner; solid runs in AW handicaps on her last three starts; solid contender.
2	10 2nd (10) (11/1 +31%) Red Walls	11 11/1(+31%)	(10) Red Walls 11/1, Course winner. Nineteen runs since last win in 2022. 10/1, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at this course (5.1f) 28 days ago. Better at 5f and doesn't look in the form required to win in any case.
3	7 3rd (7) (10/1 +17%) Jazzagal	10 10/1(+17%)	(7) Jazzagal 10/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 12/1) 6 days ago, not clear run. Not fired on all cylinders in 2023 and she'll need to better recent Newcastle 7th to win.
4	5 4th (5) (9/1 -125%) You Are Everything	9 9/1(-125%)	(5) You Are Everything 9/1, Good third of 12 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good, 40/1) 37 days ago, nearest finish. One to note. Shaped better when 3rd at Bath last month; still has potential as a sprinter; considered.
5th	6 5th (6) (33/1 -106%) Dodgy Bob	33 33/1(-106%)	(6) Dodgy Bob 33/1, Course winner. 3 wins from 16 runs this year. Latest win at Thirsk in September. Last of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, soft, 40/1) 21 days ago. Been the type to pop up at massive odds. Drop back in class a plus but the widest stall could find him out today.
6th	4 6th (4) (25/1 +50%) Midnight Flame	25 25/1(+50%)	(4) Midnight Flame 25/1, 200/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at Bath (8f, soft) 21 days ago. Back down in trip. Makes tapeta debut. Chance on old form. Exposed maiden; huge prices and well beaten in 2 runs for this yard; drops back to 6f now.
7th	1 7th (1) (5/2 +17%) Bungle Bay	2.5 5/2(+17%)	(1) Bungle Bay 5/2, C&D winner. Latest win here in July. 11/2, eighth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 13 days ago. C&D win off this mark in July; quiet at Southwell last time but return to this track a +.
8th	9 8th (9) (20/1 -100%) Ma Famille	20 20/1(-100%)	(9) Ma Famille 20/1, Below form sixth of 11 in handicap (25/1) at Southwell (5f) 13 days ago. Back up in trip. Placed twice on AW in February but yet to sparkle in four handicaps; drawn wide.
9th	3 9th (3) (3/1 +14%) Noble Captain	3 3/1(+14%)	(3) Noble Captain 3/1, 10/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 9 in handicap at Catterick (5f, soft) 19 days ago. Back up in trip and can go well back on AW. 0-10 but he's been threatening on AW and he makes more appeal than many.
10th	11 10th (11) (28/1 +58%) Musaytir	28 28/1(+58%)	(11) Musaytir 28/1, One win from 33 Flat runs. Off 6 months. Hard to fancy. Just one win from 33 starts; not easily recommended back from seven months off.
11th	8 11th (8) (50/1 -52%) Poseidon Prince	50 50/1(-52%)	(8) Poseidon Prince 50/1, 18/1, last of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 11 days ago. Continues to struggle. Struggled in handicaps for current stable and he's hard to make a case for.

LTO Selection:

SHOW COMPASSION looks the obvious place to start given she won well over this track and trip in July and has performed with plenty of credit in defeat in each of her four subsequent all-weather starts. It didn't happen for her on the turf at Catterick but she's a reliable performer on synthetics and makes more appeal than Bungle Bay, who is 2-4 over C&D. Keep an eye on You Are Everything too.

SHOW COMPASSION continues in good heart and makes most appeal in a race that shouldn't take much winning. Noble Captain and You Are Everything are also firmly in the mix.

Noble Captain should be in the thick of it but YOU ARE EVERYTHING is taken to build on the promise of her latest Bath third.

18:10 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 5f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	9 1st (9) (9/2 +18%) Henery Hawk	4.5 9/2(+18%)	(9) Henery Hawk 9/2, 25/1, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Newcastle (5f) 17 days ago. Remains on a workable mark up 3 lb and possibilities if able to back that effort up here. Off the mark with smooth Newcastle win 17 days ago (form strong for the grade); contender.
2	5 2nd (5) (15/2 +25%) Second Collection	7.5 15/2(+25%)	(5) Second Collection 15/2, Course winner. 20/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at this course (6.1f) 28 days ago. Chance on old form, but she's hard to warm to based on recent exploits. Not hit top gear back from a break but on dangerous mark and 2-3 when ridden by Rossa Ryan.
3	11 3rd (11) (10/1 +17%) Admirable Lad	10 10/1(+17%)	(11) Admirable Lad 10/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 6/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 23 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Each-way chance. Three-time course winner; on lowly mark but looks vulnerable from the widest stall.
4	10 4th (10) (7/1 +42%) Lola's Moment	7 7/1(+42%)	(10) Lola's Moment 7/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Catterick (5f, soft, 11/1) 19 days ago. Creditable fourth over C&D off 2 lb higher on penultimate start and helps give the Tim Easterby yard (also represented by Canaria Prince) a strong hand. 16-race maiden; effective over C&D and well drawn but still carries risk; stable run two.
5th	1 5th (1) (8/1 +11%) Zing Up	8 8/1(+11%)	(1) Zing Up 8/1, Unreliable individual. Winner at Lingfield in September. 9/1, 5¼ lengths seventh of 11 to Canaria Prince in handicap at Southwell (5f) 13 days ago. Clearly has work to do on that evidence. Visor applied. Lingfield win last month well franked since; less good latest; new headgear on today.
6th	8 6th (8) (5/2 +0%) Canaria Prince	2.5 5/2(+0%)	(8) Canaria Prince 5/2, 3/1, improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner handicap at Southwell (5f) 13 days ago, all out. 3 lb rise fair enough and he's a must for the shortlist. Yard also saddles Lola's Moment. Well backed when making all at Southwell 13 days ago; unexposed on AW; contender.
7th	3 7th (3) (16/1 -33%) Nellie French	16 16/1(-33%)	(3) Nellie French 16/1, C&D winner. 33/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 24 days ago. That wasn't one of her better efforts, but she will be a threat if on-song having slipped back to her last winning mark. Capable at this level and should be sharper for last month's return from a summer break.
8th	4 8th (4) (6/1 +73%) Arnie Angell	6 6/1(+73%)	(4) Arnie Angell 6/1, 18/1 and blinkered for 1st time, ninth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 90 days ago. First run for yard after leaving David C. Griffiths and he's readily passed over. Hint of ability as a 2yo; struggled for David Griffiths this summer; needs market check.
9th	7 9th (7) (25/1 -733%) Ali Jewels	25 25/1(-733%)	(7) Ali Jewels 25/1, Winner at Yarmouth in September. 9/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, heavy) 19 days ago. Safely held sole previous run on the AW (over 6f here in August) and she looks vulnerable. Ready winner at Yarmouth last month and the ground a valid excuse latest; tricky draw.
10th	2 10th (2) (80/1 -60%) Jailhouse Rock	80 80/1(-60%)	(2) Jailhouse Rock 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 12 in handicap (40/1) at Newcastle (5f) 42 days ago. Needs to find a chunk of improvement from somewhere. Modest form in four starts; improvement required from somewhere.
11th	6 11th (6) (50/1 -100%) The Spinmeister	50 50/1(-100%)	(6) The Spinmeister 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 80/1 and hooded for 1st time, third of 4 in minor event at Catterick (6f, soft) 41 days ago, slowly away. Makes handicap debut and sizeable step forward needed. Seemed to show more when third on his reappearance but that form far from convincing.

LTO Selection:

CANARIA PRINCE has spent the majority of his career running on turf, winning three times in that sphere, but he displayed a really good attitude to score on just his second all-weather start at Southwell recently and could kick on now racing on synthetics. Zing Up makes plenty of appeal too, as she won at Lingfield two starts ago before finishing behind the selection last time. Ali Jewels is noted as well.

Tim Easterby could hold the key to this race, with his representatives CANARIA PRINCE and Lola's Moment taken to fight out the finish. The latter is 0-16 but she's a big player judged on her C&D effort two starts back, but Canaria Prince is marginally preferred on the back of his recent Southwell success and is unexposed on synthetics. C&D winners Admirable Lad and Nellie French both failed to fire last time but will be each-way players if on-song.

The recent wins of ZING UP and Henery Hawk have both been well advertised since and they can fight this out.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (10/1 -25%) King's Code	10 10/1(-25%)	(7) King's Code 10/1, Enjoyed a productive season, taking his tally for the year to 3 when winning 10-runner handicap at Chester (7.6f, heavy) 23 days ago. Relished the emphasis on stamina there and more needed now back on AW. Won three of his last five starts, but held over C&D in June and drawn wider than ideal.
2	8 2nd (8) (6/1 +50%) Deceiver	6 6/1(+50%)	(8) Deceiver 6/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Off 5 months, very good third of 13 in handicap (12/1) at Kempton (7f) 19 days ago. Up in trip. Makes tapeta debut. Can go well. Unexposed after 5 starts and shapes as though he will stay, but his wide draw isn't ideal.
3	3 3rd (3) (25/1 -257%) Young Fire	25 25/1(-257%)	(3) Young Fire 25/1, C&D winner. 4 wins from 17 runs this year. Latest win at Leicester in August. Fifteenth of 16 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good, 18/1) 16 days ago, not clear run. On a tempting mark. C&D winner and 1lb below last winning mark, but needs to better recent performances.
4	2 4th (2) (11/2 +8%) Cabinet Of Clowns	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(2) Cabinet Of Clowns 11/2, Creditable second of 9 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm, 10/3) 14 days ago, sticking to task. Holding form and he can go well again. Runner-up the last twice including a narrow defeat at Southwell; high on list.
5th	4 5th (4) (14/1 -17%) Fools Rush In	14 14/1(-17%)	(4) Fools Rush In 14/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. 6/1, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 10 days ago, running on. Losing run up to 18 despite having dropped 15lb below his last winning mark.
6th	5 6th (5) (33/1 +18%) Barley	33 33/1(+18%)	(5) Barley 33/1, Eleventh of 16 in handicap (50/1) at Redcar (8f, good) 16 days ago. Shown little in four starts for this yard since returning in June; look elsewhere.
7th	6 7th (6) (5/1 +38%) Monte Linas	5 5/1(+38%)	(6) Monte Linas 5/1, Latest win at York in July. 6/1, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 19 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Dual winner this year and latest Kempton third has been franked; should go well.
8th	11 8th (11) (11/4 +21%) Soowaih	2.75 11/4(+21%)	(11) Soowaih 11/4, Off 4 months/had wind op, won 8-runner minor event (8/1) at Newcastle (8f) 17 days ago. Well bred and seems sure to do better still now handicapping for top connections. Off the mark on return at Newcastle recently; open to more improvement now handicapping.
9th	10 9th (10) (9/2 -13%) Yeoman	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(10) Yeoman 9/2, 10/3, didn't need to improve to win 10-runner handicap at this C&D 46 days ago. 3-3 over C&D and lots to like. 3-3 over C&D and only just does just enough; major player.
10th	9 10th (9) (125/1 -89%) Sir Laurence Graff	125 125/1(-89%)	(9) Sir Laurence Graff 125/1, Last of 11 in handicap (100/1) at Kempton (11f) 19 days ago, slowly away. Back down in trip. Makes tapeta debut. Hard to fancy. Has achieved little in three starts for this yard since returning in July; hard to fancy.
11th	1 11th (1) (14/1 +0%) On A Session	14 14/1(+0%)	(1) On A Session 14/1, Latest win at Musselburgh (7f) in April. 6/1, creditable third of 7 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, soft) 20 days ago. Shaping up well and one to note. 0-10 on AW, but has run well over C&D and just 1lb above last winning mark.

LTO Selection:

YEOMAN was able to maintain his unbeaten C&D record when notching up a narrow success last time, and James Fanshawe's progressive three-year-old might be the answer from just a 1lb raised mark. Cabinet Of Clowns continues to knock on the door and he is unlikely to be far away, while others to note include King's Code, Monte Linas and Soowaih.

A good handicap but SOOWAIH looks very much one that can prove better than this level and gets the vote over fellow 3-y-o Yeoman, who is defending an unbeaten C&D record (made it 3-3 here 7 weeks ago). Deceiver and On A Session are also considered.

The vote goes to CABINET OF CLOWNS who just lost out in a Racing League contest at Southwell last month and remains unexposed on AW.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (6/1 -33%) Fast Affair	6 6/1(-33%)	(6) Fast Affair 6/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable second of 11 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 11/1) 13 days ago, no match for winner. Merits consideration off the same mark here with this step back in trip a likely plus. Best effort yet when chasing home a big improver at Southwell last time; high on list.
2	7 2nd (7) (6/5 +40%) Island Native	1.2 6/5(+40%)	(7) Island Native 6/5, 5/4, creditable third of 11 in handicap at this course (8.6f) 2 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and should again be in the mix, provided this doesn't come too soon. 0-10; beaten under a length last three starts, but drawn wide; cheekpieces on.
3	2 3rd (2) (18/1 -157%) Balqaa	18 18/1(-157%)	(2) Balqaa 18/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap (4/1) at Newcastle (10.2f) 34 days ago, missing break. Definite chance if getting away on terms. 2-25 with both wins coming at Newcastle; well held in one visit here and enough to prove.
4	4 4th (4) (4/1 +47%) Storm Asset	4 4/1(+47%)	(4) Storm Asset 4/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Nottingham in June. 15/2, good second of 7 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, good to firm) 40 days ago. Likely to be in the thick of things once more. C&D winner in June and only just beaten at Bath last month; one to take seriously.
5th	3 5th (3) (18/1 -112%) Louisiana Bay	18 18/1(-112%)	(3) Louisiana Bay 18/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, first run since leaving Patrick Leech when sixth of 7 in maiden at Leicester (10f, good to soft) 28 days ago, not knocked about. Likely improver now handicapping and one to note in the betting. Makes her handicap debut at a modest level, but has plenty to prove.
6th	10 6th (10) (17/2 +6%) Casa Luna	8.5 17/2(+6%)	(10) Casa Luna 17/2, Creditable second of 11 in handicap (5/1) at this C&D 16 days ago. Each-way chance if able to back that up. 0-14, but has run well over C&D the last twice; no reason why she shouldn't go well again.
7th	8 7th (8) (8/1 -7%) Opticality	8 8/1(-7%)	(8) Opticality 8/1, 7/2, improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner handicap at this course (8.6f) 20 days ago, always holding on. 2 lb rise fair and she has to be feared. Off the mark at the 18th attempt here last time; will need to better that to follow up.
8th	9 8th (9) (80/1 -142%) Caracristi	80 80/1(-142%)	(9) Caracristi 80/1, C&D winner. 33/1, ninth of 10 in handicap back at this C&D 14 days ago. Likely to find one or two too good. Yard also represented by Casa Luna. 4lb lower than for her second C&D success in March, but well below form the last twice.
9th	5 9th (5) (50/1 -52%) Tacitus	50 50/1(-52%)	(5) Tacitus 50/1, One win from 22 Flat runs. Winner at Redcar in June. Seventh of 11 in handicap (16/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 13 days ago. Others preferred. 1-22 and no closer than fifth in seven starts on the AW; others more likely.
10th	11 10th (11) (40/1 -60%) James Bradley	40 40/1(-60%)	(11) James Bradley 40/1, 28/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Brighton (9.9f, good) 13 days ago. That was a low-key performance, but possibilities judged on Chelmsford second on penultimate start. Form patchy since beating three rivals at Chelmsford in January; others more convincing.
11th	12 11th (12) (100/1 -52%) Two Plus Two	100 100/1(-52%)	(12) Two Plus Two 100/1, Last of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 40/1) 18 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and has work to do. 0-10 and hasn't achieved much; hard to recommend.
12th	1 12th (1) (25/1 -25%) Point Of Fact	25 25/1(-25%)	(1) Point Of Fact 25/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 33/1, last of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 11 days ago. Hopes pinned on the addition of a visor helping to spark a return to form. Downhill since twice running with credit here in the spring; visor on.

LTO Selection:

Opticality merits respect following her recent course success, but preference is for FAST AFFAIR. The daughter of Cracksman was no match for a progressive rival at Southwell last time out, but she is able to compete off an unchanged mark and ought to be capable of going one better. Louisiana Bay could be involved on her handicap bow, from a potentially workable mark.

FAST AFFAIR is appealing on the back of an improved effort in first-time cheekpieces (retained here) at Southwell where she chased home the in-form Kalamunda (winner again since). She is taken to go one better back up in trip off the same mark here. Island Native remains a maiden following 10 attempts, but put in another good shift when a close third here on Saturday and will be a threat if turned out again quickly. Opticality and handicap debutante Louisiana Bay are others to consider.

The choice is FAST AFFAIR (nap) who showed improvement for the fitting of cheekpieces when chasing home an improver at Southwell.

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.
