After making good late headway in a recent 6f maiden, handicap debutant PRIDE OF SPAIN can improve over today's longer trip.

Sam Thomas has his team in top form and Chepstow bumper runner-up VINCENZO is taken to make a winning hurdle debut.
Class & Speed Card

A tricky puzzle to solve and a tentative nod goes in the direction of the evergreen DINDIN, who ran well when second over 3m at Bangor last time and can go one better. David Pipe's runner was well clear of the rest on that occasion and can make his presence felt off the same mark. On The Platform rates as the biggest danger after his own second at Bangor, while this extra yardage could suit Dan's Chosen.

FAMILY POT captured this prize a year ago and teed himself up well for a repeat when a returning third at Hereford so looks the way to go. Dan's Chosen is feared most in his bid to bag a third success of 2023, with Dindin and On The Platform both worthy of consideration too.

Last year's winner FAMILY POT may repeat the dose. He has enough form on good to soft to make appeal. Striking Out is feared most.
Class & Speed Card

VEILED ILLUSION justified strong support in the betting when landing a novice over C&D three weeks ago and staying at this sort of level could be a good move as he bids for a quick-fire brace of wins. Christian David looks the pick of Richard Hannon's three entrants and is an obvious threat contender based on his game third-placed finish in a decent Newmarket maiden 19 days ago. Joycean Way is also considered, given he is open to improvement now dropped in trip.

This can go to JOYCEAN WAY, who took a step forward from his debut when mid-field at Salisbury 3 weeks ago and with further progress on the cards, Roger Varian's colt can make a winning start on the all-weather. Christian David went close at Newmarket earlier this month and he could be the one to give the selection most to think about, ahead of the penalised Veiled Illusion.

Having scored over C&D three weeks ago, VEILED ILLUSION holds solid claims under a small penalty. Christian David is second choice.
Class & Speed Card

It would be no surprise if THE ELECTRICAL KID was good enough to make a winning start for Willie Mullins. The Malinas gelding was runner-up in a point-to-point back in November 2021 before being picked up for 95,000 pounds at the sales the following month. The horse that he chased home in that point was Inthepocket, a Grade 1 winner for Henry de Bromhead at Aintree in April. Croke Park was beaten favourite on his 'track' debut in a Kilbeggan bumper back in May. He may improve for going jumping now but needs to step up on that showing. Talk In The Park was beaten a fair way when second to Yeats Star at Downpatrick earlier in the month but could reach the frame again.

THE ELECTRICAL KID was runner-up on his sole start in points a couple of years ago and he's fancied to go one better on Rules debut for Willie Mullins. Croke Park finished runner-up in a Kilbeggan bumper back in May, so he's put forward as the main danger starting out over timber, while Chiefs Kingdom sets the standard of those with hurdling experience and can battle out third spot with Glenmalure Flyer.

The one to beat is THE ELECTRICAL KID, second to a Grade 1-winning novice hurdler in his sole point-to-point
Class & Speed Card

This can go the way of MELLIFICENT, who was last seen in a Listed bumper at Market Rasen in February, which has worked out very well since. Jonjo O'Neill's charge is better judged on her penultimate effort at Uttoxeter and the step up in trip looks a big plus on her hurdles bow. Tom Cody is one to note for market support on his first run for new connections, while Tommy Johnson rates best of the rest.

MELLIFICENT looked above average in bumpers and there's no reason to think she won't take to hurdling, so she's an obvious choice in a thin race. One of the newcomers, Tommy Johnson and/or Icouldn'tpassherby, may be able to capitalise if the selection doesn't come up to expectations.

The extreme lack of form in this line-up suggests a win is likely for MELLIFICENT, who scored in one of her three bumpers.
Class & Speed Card

This contest seems to revolve around the performance of NORMAN FLETCHER, who looked a useful type in bumpers before letting himself down in the jumping stakes on his hurdles debut at Huntingdon nine days ago. Nigel Twiston-Davies' runner didn't jump at all well before falling three out that day but he should know more for the experience and, having been sent off a long odds-on shot that day, compensation could await. Lady Caro and Wyenot are the dangers.

DAMARTA is fancied to take a step forward from his reappearance Newton Abbot fifth when still looking in need of the experience and get off the mark in an open maiden hurdle. Winning Irish pointer Dusautior brings potential and is next on the list on his hurdling debut, although a case can also be made for Norman Fletcher, Classic Lord and I Look How I Look in a competitive event.

Norman Fletcher might be given another chance but WYENOT looks set for better things following her run in a bumper in April.
Class & Speed Card

An official rating of 82 makes NAZRON a solid option back in a maiden and, given he went down by only a neck to a rival who was probably allowed too much leeway on the front end over C&D last month, David Egan is unlikely to be taking any such chances with his mount today. Jungle Jim is a potential improver on his all-weather debut, while Fidelius is entitled to be wiser after a near-miss on his racecourse bow at Brighton last month.

NAZRON took another step forward when going close over C&D on his nursery debut last month and could be hard to beat in this maiden. Jungle Jim has a race like this in him, while much better was expected from Our Melody on her debut and she could show more here.

One more chance is given to NAZRON, who has proved expensive to follow but nearly made a winning AW debut here last month.
Class & Speed Card

MOUNT SINAI can make a winning start over jumps. The Mount Nelson mare has been placed on both her outings in bumpers and this looks like a nice starting point for her over timber. She is a half-sister to a decent sort in Seabank Bistro. Roccos Inspiration sets the standard off a mark of 108 and has plenty of solid placed form, including when third at Thurles a week ago. Lucky Viv has a similar profile and is rated just a pound lower by the handicapper.

A case of quantity over quality here and having finished third on both starts in bumpers recently, MOUNT SINAI is selected to make a winning hurdling debut stepped up in trip for Willie Mullins. Roccos Inspiration has had plenty of attempts to get off the mark, but she may emerge as the main threat with a recent outing under her belt, ahead of Lucky Viv and Instant Tendance.

This could be the opportunity for ROCCOS INSPIRATION (nap) to gain an overdue success after a good run over too short a trip at Thurles
Class & Speed Card

READYSTEADYBEAU was getting the hang of things over fences towards the end of last season and he can start this campaign on the right note. A mark of 114 still looks manageable and, with conditions in his favour, he should have too much for chase debutants Jet Legs and Jipcot, as well as Mulberry Hill, who was very unlucky when falling two out at Ludlow when last seen over fences in May.

READYSTEADYBEAU boasts a positive profile over fences and had plenty in hand when scoring at Perth when last seen, so he's the obvious choice for a stable that continues in tremendous form. High Moon and Mulberry Hill are feared.

The mare MULBERRY HILL won over hurdles here last October on her sole previous visit to Carlisle and she earns the vote.
Class & Speed Card

CHOCCABLOC has made a very pleasing start to his career having not finished outside of the first three home in each of his three starts in bumpers, winning once, and he can get off the mark at the first time of asking over timber. Ittack Blue is feared most dropped back into these calmer waters after struggling in Listed company at Exeter in February, while Adjuvant is also noted.

ITTACK BLUE was disappointing on his second start last term but had looked a useful prospect at Newbury previously and is taken to make a winning return. There are plenty of interesting hurdles debutants in opposition with bumper winner Choccabloc and useful Flat performer Adjuvant catching the eye most.

Impressive point winner ITTACK BLUE made an unspectacular start to his rules career last season but is open to huge improvement.
Class & Speed Card

This can go the way of ROSE KING, who wasn't beaten far at Redcar last time out and remains unexposed after just five career starts. The three-year-old has won twice on the all-weather before and he is preferred to the likes of Level Up, who has strong clams if bouncing back to the form of his penultimate effort at Bath, and Reigning Profit.

LEVEL UP has had a fine season and appeals as the type to bounce back quickly from a below-par display at Leicester now returned to all-weather, so he earns the vote. Rose King is easily the least exposed in the field, so warrants respect, as does Paddy's Day, who's dropped to a handy mark and was unlucky not to finish closer at Redcar on his most recent outing.

This may be fought out by ROSE KING and Paddy's Day with the unexposed selection taken to confirm his Redcar superiority.
Class & Speed Card

BRIANNA LILY handled testing conditions well when scoring over course and distance late last month and may be able to repeat the dose. The Shirocco mare didn't make much impression on better going at Galway last time but back here and on softer ground she may prove the pick. Stablemate Castle Field Boy won a Tipperary maiden hurdle when last seen in April and has handled softer ground. He will be a leading player if stripping fit for his return. The Little Yank has been busy over fences lately and off a lower hurdles mark he could get involved in this small field.

CASTLE FIELD BOY maintained his theme of gradual race-by-race progress when landing a big-field Tipperary maiden last month, and he is likely to prove a tough nut to crack. The Little Yank and Brianna Lily are feared most in that order of preference, while last year's winner Robinstown would be a threat if returning to something close to his best.

Question marks surround many of these and perhaps CASTLE FIELD BOY can making a winning handicap debut
Class & Speed Card

Thereisnodoubt made a perfect seasonal debut when scoring at Perth last month and Lucinda Russell's veteran shouldn't be far away now shouldering 4lb more. However, he may prove vulnerable to a less-exposed rival, with GOLDEN GLANCE making most appeal. The four-year-old signed off her last campaign with a respectable seventh in a premier handicap at Cheltenham in April and she merits respect representing a stable in fine form. Gardener and Holly are others to note.

An opening mark of 110 might underestimate GRAIN D'OUDAIRIES as he was a promising winner on his hurdle debut and was too fresh stepping up in trip when beaten at short odds here since. Gardener is another lightly-raced sort who should have his best days ahead of him and is second choice ahead of last year's winner Well Educated.

Grain D'Oudairies could be superior to his opening mark but HOLLY also retains potential and she gets the nod.
Class & Speed Card

Outlaw Peter beat his sole rival in a match on his chase debut at Newton Abbot and has to be considered on his handicap bow. However, preference is for HARDY FELLA, who went in by a comfortable 12 lengths over the smaller obstacles when last seen here in April, and he can make a winning start over fences off a handy mark. Supreme Gift warrants a market check too.

A four-time winner over hurdles, OUTLAW PETER added to his tally on his first start over fences at Newton Abbot last month, despite the steadily-run nature of the race, and he can go on to better things as a chaser. The 7-y-o is taken to get the better of Neon Moon, with Hardy Fella the pick of the chasing debutants.

Preference is for OUTLAW PETER, who did very well over hurdles last season and can kick on from last month's win in a two-runner chase.
Class & Speed Card

Not beaten far on his debut at Salisbury earlier in the month, SAVIOUR must hold every chance of building upon that effort and switching to the all-weather should not inconvenience him. Hugo Palmer's charge gets the vote ahead of Blessed Boy, who should be open to plenty of improvement after a strong runner-up effort at Southwell on his racecourse bow. Newcomer Parwaz and Purefoy can also have a say in proceedings.

SAVIOUR made a bright start at Salisbury 3 weeks ago and can go close with improvement on the way. Blessed Boy has a similar profile and should progress. Parwaz could be an interesting newcomer for Roger Varian.

Saviour and BLESSED BOY have shown the most and look the clear pick. The latter left a favourable impression on the Southwell AW.
Class & Speed Card

Philip Rothwell is enjoying a fine season so far and NATURAL BREEZE may be able to give him another winner here. The Shirocco gelding has run well to be placed on his last two outings and went down fighting at Tramore a fortnight ago in similar ground. He stays a bit further than this but stamina will be important in this ground. Blue Reed ran much better when chasing home Conyers Hill in a maiden hurdle here last month and looks on a fair mark for his handicap debut. Dontdooddson has been knocking on the door and could be place material.

C&D winner DONTDOODDSON arrives in good form and may be able to get back on the scoreboard. Natural Breeze and Go Gill Go can also make their presence felt.

A sporting selection goes to KISS MY LUCKY EGG, who should be suited by coming back in trip and could be progressive
Class & Speed Card

Unbeaten hurdler GIOVINCO looked a smart prospect last season, as seen when capping off a fine campaign with a 12-length romp in a Listed event over hurdles at Perth in April. The six-year-old boasts a pointing background and he may have too much class for these rivals on his chase debut. Alaphilippe was last seen finishing a cracking second in the Pertemps Final at the Cheltenham Festival 588 days ago and is feared most on his return, ahead of Good Risk At All.

GOOD RISK AT ALL scored here 12 months ago and with his yard adept at getting their horses ready first time, he is taken to make a winning chase debut. Giovinco and Alaphilippe may prove most dangerous in what should be an informative contest.

Giovinco is an exciting chasing recruit but preference is for the returning ALAPHILIPPE, whose trainer's horses often go well fresh
Class & Speed Card

SAUNTON SURF struck by six lengths on her first outing under Rules before changing hands for 95,000 pounds and joining the Warren Greatrex stable. The daughter of Sea Moon should have plenty more to come and can make a winning start over the smaller obstacles. Time In The Sun was only denied by a head on her second bumper start here and could get into contention, while any market support for Melusine De Pail should be noted.

Plenty with potential in a race where the betting is likely to be informative. The suggestion is SAUNTON SURF who has switched to the Warren Greatrex yard since her stylish Aintree bumper win in May. Alan King's Baby Sage is another who showed enough in bumpers to think she can make her presence felt in a race like this, while the likes of Von Hallers, who represents last year's winning yard, Kit's Coty and Star of Hoiho are interesting recruits from the Irish pointing field.

The suggestion is BABY SAGE, who impressed on her bumper debut and can be excused her subsequent defeat in a hot Grade 2 event.
Class & Speed Card

RED HAT EAGLE was value for more than the winning margin when scoring narrowly at Kempton on his most recent start, and a 2lb rise for that success could prove lenient with Neil Callan taking over in the saddle. Goldsmith has been knocking on the door of late and is likely to be thereabouts, along with the capable Al Hargah and Showlan Spirit, who could be suited by dropping back in trip.

GOLDSMITH is taken to get his head back in front returned to the scene of his wins last winter. Red Hat Eagle was only raised 2 lb for last week's Kempton success and is the obvious threat in a contest where few arrive with compelling claims. Showlan Spirit may prove best of the remainder.

Red Hat Eagle is well handicapped on his Kempton win but GOLDSMITH could be a dangerous opponent should this pan out well for him.
Class & Speed Card

An interesting little heat and LIMERICK LACE may be able to make a winning return. The Walk In The Park mare had a fine season as a novice last term, winning twice and finishing second in Grade 3 company at Naas. She is top rated in this, off a mark of 141, and may have a few more gears than rival Hurricane Georgie. Gordon Elliott's charge does come here race-fit though and ran a cracker when chasing home Minella Indo in Grade 3 company at Punchestown 15 days ago. Her best form is at further though. Heia disappointed on her most recent outing at Listowel, when it was reported that she was showing signs of coming into season. She is capable of better and getting weight off the top two she can't be discounted.

HURRICANE GEORGIE has drawn a blank since her Midlands National success at Kilbeggan in summer 2022 but her latest Punchestown Grade 3 second would suggest she's still smart on her day and this might be a decent opportunity for her as Limerick Lace has peak fitness to prove back from 6 months off, while Heia needs to get back on track after a disappointing run at Listowel last month.

Question marks surround several so the default choice is MINX TIARA on the back of a good recent run at Cork
Class & Speed Card

This is a drop in grade for ALJADEL, who struggled in a valuable nursery at Newmarket on her latest start, and the daughter of New Bay can take advantage of this easier test. She may have too much for Professor Tickle and Cuban Harry, who remains open to improvement after four career starts. Krysdanjord and Rukaana are entitled to be thereabouts as well.

CUBAN HARRY could be the answer to this open-looking nursery. He wasn't beaten far when blinkered for his all-weather/nursery debut at Lingfield 3 weeks ago and perhaps the more severe headgear enlisted here may help eke out a bit more. Compton Bay probably found the 8.6f trip too much of a test here recently and he is feared back at 7f, while Professor Tickle is third choice ahead of Aljadel.

Cuban Harry and Aljadel are considered but RUKAANA appeals as a likely big improver now switched to low-grade nurseries.
Class & Speed Card

Inis Oirr shouldn't be judged too harshly on his 10th-fence blunder when unseating his rider at Kelso earlier this month, as the six-year-old had jumped with plenty of verve prior to that mishap. The son of Ocovango likely has more to offer in this sphere and isn't taken lightly, but slight preference is for CARLO DU BERLAIS, who should relish this stiffer test of stamina. The Fergal O'Brien-trained gelding can put his experience to good use, with chasing debutant Anti Bridgie of interest too.

Another chance is given to INIS OIRR, who had jumped with aplomb until unseating his rider at Kelso on chase debut earlier this month. Carlo du Berlais and Here Comes The Man rate the principal dangers.

An interesting little race. YELLOWSTONE PARK is bred to improve for the switch to fences and he is the pick.
Class & Speed Card

PASSING REFLECTION was only beaten by half a length into second at Warwick when last seen in May and that was only her fourth start over hurdles. The daughter of Passing Glance switches to fences and it would be no surprise to see her defy a mark of 109. Poetic Music is 3-6 over the smaller obstacles and she looks an interesting recruit to the chasing ranks, while Malaita completes the shortlist.

POETIC MUSIC is a likeable mare who has been prolific to date and should take to the larger obstacles, so she gets the nod over La Renommee, who has a lot more chasing experience than her rivals. Malaita is another one to consider.

Some promising mares make their chasing debuts here but dual C&D winner LA RENOMMEE is taken to put her fencing experience to good use.
Class & Speed Card

STONE OF DESTINY has hit the crossbar the last twice, including when only denied by a short head at Redcar last time and he is 4lb higher for that display. The eight-year-old now has Tom Marquand in the saddle and he can return to winning ways. The main threat is likely to come from Newyorkstateofmind, who was just over three lengths clear of the third at Wolverhampton last week and he should go well off 2lb higher. Of the remainder, Break The Spell makes the most appeal on her handicap bow.

NEWYORKSTATEOFMIND pulled clear of the rest when runner-up at Wolverhampton last week and is the percentage call to go one better from only a 2 lb higher mark. Straits of Moyle could get back on track after a small break and is feared most ahead of the unreliable Stone of Destiny.

The 8yo STONE OF DESTINY can end a long losing run having gone very close on turf the last twice. Newyorkstateofmind is feared most
Class & Speed Card

JENNY FLEX was probably value for a bit more than her winning margin at Downpatrick last time and may be able to strike again here. The well-bred Walk In The Park mare has taken a while to find her feet but was good last time, scooting clear between the last two fences and idling a bit late on to beat stablemate Zettabyte by a length-and-three-quarters. An initial handicap mark of 102 doesn't look harsh. Room To Roam also comes here in winning form, having scored by a wide margin at Sligo late last month. He got a 8lb hike for that victory but looks like the obvious danger. Slige Dala has run well to be placed on his last couple of outings and could reach the frame again.

JENNY FLEX showed the benefit of headgear when going in cosily at Downpatrick last time and can capitalise on a handy-looking mark back in handicap company here with the cheekpieces again sported. Bonnie Kellie rates the chief threat if none the worse for her late Roscommon fall, with Room To Roam also firmly in the picture on the back of his recent Sligo victory.

Preference is for BONNIE KELLIE, who was running a good comeback race until unseating at Roscommon
Class & Speed Card

Now that the penny has dropped for CHERRY HILL, following a determined success at Kempton last time out, there could be plenty more to come from the daughter of Ulysses off a 5lb higher mark. Checkmeout looks to be a key threat on her handicap debut, while The Bitter Moose is another to consider despite a wide draw. George's Rascal and Hand Jive are also capable of being in the shake-up.

A number of these arrive with a question mark against them so this is a good opportunity for CHERRY HILL to defy a 5 lb rise and follow up her Kempton success off a still lenient-looking mark. Nursery newcomers Hand Jive and Checkmeout appeal as the chief threats.

Dominic Ffrench Davis's Ulysses filly CHERRY HILL arrives on the up and she can make light of a 5lb rise for her cosy Kempton success.
Class & Speed Card

A chance is taken on ZWICKY, who won in ready fashion over 2m4f at Sedgefield last time and is taken to follow up. Philip Kirby's charge has been raised 3lb for that success but the six-year-old won more cosily than the winning margin suggests. Rajjamataz is feared most after running well when second over the extended 2m3f at Chepstow in April, while better can be expected of So Many Roads.

SO MANY ROADS and Zwicky both remain open to improvement and could be the pair to concentrate on. The latter is not passed over at all lightly, particularly with a recent run (and a winning one at that) under his belt, but So Many Roads is marginally preferred on the strength of his decisive handicap debut success at Ayr last season. Bouncing Bobby, a C&D winner this time last year, and Cartmel scorer Secret Secret are others to consider.

Lots with chances but there was a lot to like about the reappearance Sedgefield win of ZWICKY so this improving sort gets the vote
Class & Speed Card

A competitive contest for the grade and a tentative vote goes to the Dan Skelton-trained SEEFIN, who proved a different proposition when landing the spoils on his handicap debut at Uttoxeter last month. He may be able to defy a 10lb rise in the ratings. Fellow last-time-out winner Awesome Foursome is feared most after his 11-length romp at Perth, ahead of Honey I'm Good.

A small field but an interesting race. SEEFIN could have more to come and gets the nod to make it 2-2 in handicaps but a case of sorts can be made for all his rivals, recent Perth scorer Awesome Foursome possibly the pick of them.

After winning with quite a bit left in the tank on last month's handicap debut, SEEFIN might be able to overcome a 10lb rise.
Class & Speed Card

WORLD WITHOUT LOVE was denied by just over three lengths into third in a class 4 event at Kempton last month, which looks possibly the best form on offer in this contest. The daughter of Ulysses goes off the same mark and could prove hard to beat. Richard P Smith has been knocking on the door lately and has to be considered as he takes a further step up in distance, while Major Major goes well on the all-weather and is another to note.

RICHARD P SMITH has returned to form with cheekpieces refitted on his last 3 starts, finishing runner-up on the last 2 occasions, so he is taken to go one better as he goes up in trip. World Without Love also arrives in good heart and isn't taken lightly, while Major Major is another who merits consideration.

This looks a good chance for RICHARD P SMITH (nap) to record his first AW win. He brings creditable AW form along with three turf wins.
Class & Speed Card

CROI CORCRA takes a significant drop in trip here but may be worth siding with as she comes here in fine form after an impressive win at Tramore a fortnight ago. The Soldier Of Fortune mare settled things in good style then, recording a seven-length success, and around a more galloping track she may have the gears to operate at this trip. Womalko was a winner here when last seen in December of last year. He has to be respected despite returning from a lengthy enough absence. Carrolls Cottage was pulled up when last seen here in April but has slid to an attractive mark and is one to note on his return.

WOMALKO was on the resurgence when last seen 10 months ago and he's still well treated based on hurdling efforts, so he gets the nod over Croi Corcra, who arrives on the up. Midnight It Is also merits respect.

A chance is taken that WOMALKO will be fit enough to land this after almost 11 months off
Class & Speed Card

THE CALTONIAN arrives here on the back of two recent victories and he is taken to land the hat-trick, despite carrying a 10lb double penalty. Fellow C&D winner Fayasel can give him the most to think about, while upholding the form of his recent win over Guiteau (second). There was only a neck between Major Gatsby (first) and Liberty Breeze (second) when they met over C&D recently and both are likely to be thereabouts.

THE CALTONIAN has been transformed by the application of blinkers and a switch to all-weather, making it back-to-back wins in good style when scoring at this C&D at the beginning of the week. He can go on to land the hat-trick, with Major Gatsby and Fayasel the main dangers as they also arrive on the back of recent C&D victories.

Linda Perratt's rapid improver THE CALTONIAN (nap) can make it 3-3 on AW since blinkers went on.
Class & Speed Card

COOLMOYNE returned from a break in good style last time when only collared late on at Sedgefield, and this looks a decent opportunity to go one better. The first two pulled clear on that occasion and a 2lb rise in the weights could prove lenient. Travail D'Orfevre is also entitled to respect should he return to the track in similar form to his third over C&D in March, while Cudgel makes most appeal of the remainder.

The most appealing of these is GANDHI MAKER, who wasn't given a hard time on his return at Sedgefield and he should be sharper now. Casa Tall makes his debut for new connections on a potentially handy mark and is feared most ahead of Travail d'Orfevre.

The vote goes to COOLMOYNE (nap), who was only just caught at Sedgefield on his recent return and is a big player dropped back in trip.
Class & Speed Card

Representing the in-form Kim Bailey yard, JEUDIDEE gained a second triumph in novice hurdles when scoring with ease at Exeter a fortnight ago. The four-year-old makes his handicap debut off what looks a potentially lenient mark and he could take a lot of beating. Nibras Gold posted a fourth consecutive runner-up effort at Exeter recently and he may have to play second fiddle once more, with Sisterandbrother making most appeal of the remainder.

JAVERT ALLEN couldn't live with Spirit d'Aunou in a C&D juvenile event when last seen in January, but that rival is pretty useful (winner twice again since) and he has been handed what could turn out to be a lenient mark for this handicap debut. Indeed, the 4-y-o is unexposed and gets the nod ahead Jeudidee, who has won 2 of his last 3 starts, and the consistent Nibras Gold.

Top of the list is handicap debutant JEUDIDEE (nap), who drew clear to win a recent Exeter novice very comfortably.
Class & Speed Card

Runner-up on her last two starts, Middlesex merits the utmost respect in her bid to go one better, but preference is for TAYALA. Ed Walker's charge has looked outpaced over 6f on each of her three starts and her pedigree would suggest she ought to be more effective over this longer trip. Make A Scene makes enough appeal on paper to warrant a market check ahead of her first start.

It's possible that TIPTOE could come on quite a bit for her recent debut so she might be worth siding with to improve past more established rivals such as Middlesex, Squeaker and Tayala. Mon Etoile is a newcomer to keep an eye on in the betting.

Middlesex finished in front of TIPTOE at Kempton two weeks ago but may not confirm those placings today.
Class & Speed Card

HE'S A GENTLEMAN was able to capitalise on a good spell of form when winning over C&D earlier this month. The son of Dark Angel must compete from a 2lb higher mark here, but he remains well treated on past exploits and is fancied to repeat the dose. Firm Handshake showed some ability when trained in Ireland and is worth a market check ahead of his stable debut, while recent Southwell scorer Light Up Our Stars is also noted.

The obvious starting point is HE'S A GENTLEMAN, who snapped a losing run with Oisin Murphy doing the steering over C&D earlier this month and he looks capable of defying a 2 lb rise in the weights. Nikki's Girl's latest effort is probably best excused and she looks dangerous, while Light Up Our Stars and Masqool are also shortlisted.

Nikki's Girl still has potential at this trip but MASQOOL can quickly bounce back from his modest run on heavy ground last time.
Class & Speed Card

The vote goes to BRIGHT, who chased home a couple of decent types over C&D in May. He then finished second to a now 85-rated rival at Ripon, while conceding 5lb, and this looks like a good opportunity to go one better. Moon Flight also brings solid form to the table and is unlikely to be far away, while others to note include Rooska and Kaidu.

Preference is for BRIGHT, who ran well over C&D for his previous yard earlier this year. Moon Flight and Kaidu should also go well.

This looks a bit tricky but KAIDU sets the standard and he gets the vote ahead of Moon Flight and Bright.
Class & Speed Card

An open contest sees ITHRA get the nod after a very decent effort over 6f at Kempton, where she was only beaten three quarters of a length despite finishing fourth. Archie Watson's charge offered a bold bid from the front on that occasion and she looks primed to go close once more off the same mark. Belle Fourche can give the selection most to think about after a good second over 6f at Chelmsford, while similar comments apply to Jax Edge.

JAX EDGE was only beaten by an improver at Bath last time and remains on a workable mark. She gets the nod in a tricky-looking contest. Belle Fourche and Starproof can also make their presence felt.

A fair race of its type and ITHRA is taken to build on the promise of her close fourth at Kempton on this month's stable debut.
Class & Speed Card

Delvey ran on gamely when denied by a short head over 1m4f here last time and she looks likely to be in the mix once again, but raised 2lb in the ratings, she may be susceptible to some better treated rivals such as CAPTAIN ST LUCIFER. The six-year-old ran his best race for a while when second over the extended 1m1f at this track last time and this extra yardage can help him to defy a 1lb rise. Hill Station is also respected.

DELVEY has slipped to a handy mark and was just denied over C&D last time, so she's worth a chance to gain compensation. Hill Station also arrives on the back of a solid showing and is regarded as a danger, while it would be no surprise to see some improvement from Debby's Delight upped in trip for her handicap debut.

The vote goes to DELVEY, who had a near-miss off a reduced mark over C&D last time and is a big player if repeating that performance.
Class & Speed Card

CITY ESCAPE was only narrowly denied a hat-trick when third over C&D last time and she looks primed to go well once again. Mark Loughnane's charge runs off the same mark and she can get back to winning ways. Prince Ali was nearly two lengths behind the selection on that occasion and, dropped 1lb in the ratings, he could get closer. Huda Star can also have a say on her handicap bow.

CITY ESCAPE arrives at the top of her game and can gain compensation for a slightly unlucky defeat over C&D 17 days ago. Concert Boy is lurking on a dangerous mark and had excuses last time so he's second choice. The unexposed Huda Star is a possible improver in handicaps and needs keeping an eye on in the market.

Preference is for CITY ESCAPE, who has won twice at Ffos Las since August and went close back over C&D in her hat-trick bid last time.
Ths is the racecard key.
