Not the strongest of contests and it might pay to side with TIP TOP TONTO. The son of Milan lost his way after bolting up over C&D in April, but he's now 1lb below that mark and will appreciate a return to this intermediate trip. The unexposed Hiero Sport showed some promise on his handicap bow in May. He could have a say following a 161-day absence, along with Footloose Man, who finished a creditable third at Fontwell last Wednesday.

LASER FOCUS has gone in again on the Flat since last seen over hurdles and it's surely only a matter of time before James Owen gets a win out of him in this sphere. Go Fox should be up to doing something off such a low mark and is next on the list. Christian Williams handicap newcomers Montys Soldier and Cave Article need keeping a close eye on in the betting.

The suggestion is FOOTLOOSE MAN, who has remained in good form since his breakthrough win in August.
Class & Speed Card

There has been no stopping Ralph Beckett of late and El Matador, a half-brother to eight winners, is sure to be a force on his racecourse bow. However, it is the Frankel colt OPPORTUNITY who gets the verdict. The 475,000gns purchase looks the part and his pedigree suggests forecast conditions will be no issue. Love Beach finished fourth over C&D on his debut three weeks ago and is likely to be wiser this time around.

OPPORTUNITY is bred in the purple and gets the nod to make a winning debut before market clues. El Matador is another debutant to note hailing from the thriving Beckett stable, while Love Beach was getting the hangs of things late on his debut over C&D 3 weeks ago and is likely to improve.

This looks ripe for a newcomer and the pick may be EL MATADOR for Ralph Beckett, whose 2yos have been going so strongly.
Class & Speed Card

Lucy Wadham does well around here and she has two chances with Telepathique and JEUNE BELLE, of which the latter is preferred. Useful in bumpers, the mare lacked consistency over hurdles last season. Notably, perhaps, her two worst performances came on soft ground, so this quicker surface is likely to suit. Her half-sister has achieved a peak rating of 122 over fences too, so it would come as no surprise were a mark of 108 lenient. Honey I'm Good is another to consider.

A difficult race to call but there's no doubt that FORTUNEFAVORSDBOLD and Gazette Bourgeoise are both lurking on dangerous marks, with the former shading the vote.

The vote goes to the experienced chaser GAZETTE BOURGEOISE who goes particularly well fresh. Jeune Belle is also interesting.
Class & Speed Card

The form of ASTEVERDI's recent Goodwood third has worked out well and Alice Haynes' three-year-old can go in from an unchanged rating. Shaladar makes significant appeal back on the grass, having failed to ever truly be involved over a mile at Newcastle a couple of weeks ago. Let's Dream has few miles on the clock and he should not be overlooked.

DASHING ROGER hasn't been firing but goes well in these conditions and came good around the same time last year, so he's worth a chance to capitalise on a mark that has slipped. Asteverdi and Shaladar should both give their running, so they're obvious dangers.

Asteverdi should run well but preference is for another 3yo in LET'S DREAM, who should be of renewed interest after his break.
Class & Speed Card

Well clear when coming to grief two from home at Market Rasen in June, OPEC was able to make amends when returning at Wetherby a fortnight ago. James Owen's filly must concede 7lb to her rivals, but she has scope for further improvement and is the one to beat. Window Of Time offered encouragement when third at Ludlow three weeks ago and she might be the main danger. Of the remainder, By Farhh The Best appeals most.

OPEC was impressive in opening her account at the second attempt over hurdles and should have little issue following up in a weak race. Window of Time is the likely candidate to capitalise if the selection underperforms.

It's hard to oppose OPEC, who won a better race than this comfortably a fortnight ago.
Class & Speed Card

Dual hurdles winner One Big Bang hasn't looked back since making his first start for James Owen in March and he warrants respect in his bid for a hat-trick. However, a double penalty will make life tougher for the six-year-old and HYMAC shades the verdict in receipt of weight. The son of Ask capped off last season's campaign with a victory over fences in a competitive handicap at Cheltenham and he has the ability to win on this return to hurdles. Kruger Park is unlikely to be far away.

ONE BIG BANG is yet another who has thrived for a switch to James Owen and is selected to maintain his unbeaten record for the yard on his return. Kruger Park can give him most to do with Hymac not sure to benefit from the drop in trip on his hurdle return.

James Owen continues to impress and his ex-Irish recruit ONE BIG BANG is taken to return in excellent style and make it 3-3 for the yard
Class & Speed Card

Grey's Monument got up late to score in a similar contest over 7f at Redcar earlier in the month. The return to further will undoubtedly aid his cause but, while another bold bid looks assured, SPARKS FLY is preferred. David Loughnane's charge exploited an ease in grade to win at Saint-Cloud recently and with conditions to suit, she can follow up in receipt of 5lb from the former. Al Mubhir and Qirat are far from out of this either.

Ralph Beckett looks to hold the key to this listed race, with GREYS MONUMNENT taken to land a third win at this level at the expense of stablemate Qirat. Sparks Fly is another who knows what it takes to win in listed company and should also have a say on ground which suits her so well.

It's pretty tight among four of the older horses but slight preference is for the 4yo fillies SPARKS FLY and Miss Cantik.
Class & Speed Card

ACADEMY WINNER, placed in a Gowran handicap over a mile last month, is less exposed than many of these and can score. Denis Hogan's three-year-old is related to plenty of dirt winners in the US and didn't run badly over the extended ten furlongs on his first visit here. He should be suited by dropping back in trip. Dark Viper has been runner-up six times on turf this season, mostly on easy ground. He ran well on AW debut when trained in Britain last year but it remains to be seen how he'll handle this surface. Redemptive Power was second over a longer trip in a handicap here last month and should be competitive at this level.

REDEMPTIVE POWER failed to justify support in handicap company here last time but it wasn't a bad effort and this 3-y-o is favoured by the weights down in class. He looks the one to beat, though Dark Viper is a threat with 1m expected to suit. Academy Winner can also get involved.

A tentative vote goes to DARK VIPER on his first AW start for the Harrington's, having been running well in defeat on turf of late
Class & Speed Card

INSTANT GAMBLER has simply got better and better with experience in this sphere and while has more to do under a 7lb penalty for the latest of his four consecutive victories over fences, this level is unlikely to put him far out of his comfort zone and further success could be imminent. Awesome Foursome is feared most with his yard in excellent form, although Up For Appeal and Henry Box Brown are unexposed at the trip and could also make this interesting.

INSTANT GAMBLER has thrived over fences and looked well ahead of the handicapper again when easing clear to complete the four-timer at Fontwell last week. Awesome Foursome is an interesting chasing debutant and Lunar Contact isn't without hope.

The progressive INSTANT GAMBLER (nap) can make it five out of five over fences despite his 7lb penalty for last week's Fontwell win.
Class & Speed Card

Having scored on his seasonal bow at Huntingdon last season, MR GREY SKY could be worth chancing on this return to action. The veteran is racing off the same mark as his subsequent victory at Chepstow and he makes plenty of appeal for a stable in good heart at present. Progressive novice hurdler Royal Jewel boasts a pointing background and is feared most now debuting over fences. Western General and Champagnesuperover are others to note on their reappearance.

MR GREY SKY won first time up last season and is taken to repeat the feat with the Kim Bailey team in form. Chase newcomer Royal Jewel is a potentially dangerous opponent, particularly if the betting vibes are strong. Joe Tizzard was among the winners over the weekend and his course hurdle scorer Western General could also play a part if a wind operation has had a positive effect.

The point runner-up ROYAL JEWEL is taken to make a winning start over fences, having shown promise in his light hurdling career.
Class & Speed Card

FIREBLADE is a progressive gelding based on his neck defeat over 1m4f at Ascot a few weeks ago. Closing on the winner all the way to the line that day, this extra test of stamina will likely suit the son of Frankel and he's also proven on soft ground. The selection's stablemate Faifa has more to prove on the likely going, but Mr Hampstead looks a bigger threat back at this level, having struggled in both the Derby and the Queen's Vase since filling third in a maiden at Chester in May.

FIREBLADE bettered his debut form when runner-up at Ascot and, with further progress on the cards, he's fancied to get the better of stablemate Faifa, who has achieved a bit more to this point. Volakes is also of interest with improvement expected.

Cracksman's brother FIREBLADE looked tailormade for this test last time out and it's the once-raced Volakes who is feared most.
Class & Speed Card

THOMPSON GUNNER has been placed on his last two runs over C&D and might get his head in front now. Third on his first visit here last month, the Highland Reel gelding came back a week later and was touched off by a horse that has gone on to frank the form. Shane Foley now takes over in the saddle and being drawn in stall one should be a help. There was plenty of money for Zabeir here last time when the grey wasn't beaten far over 7f and Declan McDonogh retains the partnership, while Timana was placed in a pair of C&D maidens earlier in the year and is interesting on stable and handicap debut.

THOMPSON GUNNER shaped well when placed in a couple of C&D handicaps last month and is taken to open his account now. Fellow low mileage 3-y-o Timana could have more to offer in handicaps and is second choice ahead of Skontonovski, who failed to fire here last time but has plenty of good efforts at this venue.

Preference is for ZABEIR. He has slipped to a career low mark, his sole win came at this venue and this step back up to 1m should suit.
Class & Speed Card

JUBILANT has a big frame to fill and although a shade disappointing when run out of things in a bumper at Fontwell when last seen, he could be a different proposition on his hurdles debut having been given time to mature. Miami Magic has a similar profile and looks an obvious threat based on a promising Rules debut in a NH Flat race at Aintree in May. Authentic Legacy showed some promise on his only previous start over timber and is capable of a decent showing.

JUBILANT ran to a pretty high level in bumpers and returning for a yard in excellent order, he's taken to make a winning hurdles debut at the expense of Authentic Legacy and Miami Magic.

Impressive when beating a next-time-out winner by a wide margin in a bumper last season, JUBILANT can make a winning hurdle debut.
Class & Speed Card

Major Fortune proved a different proposition on the switch to handicaps last season, winning five races on the bounce, and a 6lb higher mark for his narrow defeat at Ayr in April is unlikely the ceiling of his ability. With all that being said, this 2m1f distance looks on the sharp side for Dan Skelton's gelding and VOCITO has more compelling claims. A switch to more aggressive tactics saw the son of Vocalised scoring with ease at Stratford earlier this month and he looks ready for a return to handicap company. Celtic Art is also noted.

VOCITO has been prolific since joining Olly Murphy and is taken to go in again. Celtic Art has returned to the mark he defied at Lingfield at a similar time last year and is second choice ahead of Pirates' Tale. Major Fortune should have even more to offer this season but the drop back to around 2m is a concern given his improvement last term came over much longer trips.

Last season's big improver MAJOR FORTUNE (nap) might not be overly troubled by this drop in distance given the testing conditions.
Class & Speed Card

The nine-year-old MAKANAH may not be the force of old, but still looks capable of winning off his current rating having gone close on testing going at Leicester last time. Another bold bid is anticipated from Julie Camacho's sprinter, while Blind Beggar has to enter calculations after finishing runner-up over course and distance last time. Changeofmind has been keeping better company since placing at Hamilton in August and could also go well.

MAKANAH has been in good form and handled tough conditions well once again when second at Leicester last time, so he's marginally preferred to Blind Beggar. Fantasy Master has a solid course record, so he's worthy of consideration, too.

A 0-95 in name only and veteran MAKANAH (nap) may hold a class advantage over the field. His latest Leicester second was a fine effort.
Class & Speed Card

CHESTER NIMITZ was second in a big-field maiden at Navan on debut and should be hard to beat if he can transfer that form to Polytrack. The Profitable gelding showed plenty of pace before being collared close home by an 89-rated rival and there doesn't appear to be anything of that calibre in this field. Gold Daydream made a pleasing debut herself when fifth over this trip at Naas and is a half-sister to a couple of AW winners. The latter's trainer Diego Dias also runs the 76-rated Sharkii who was beaten less than two lengths in a C&D contest last month while Rion Rubette twice went close in 6f maidens on turf in the summer.

CHESTER NIMITZ just about sets the standard at the weights and there should be more to come based on his promising debut, so he gets the nod over Gold Daydream. Rion Rubette can play a part if back on track.

RION RUBETTE gets the nod dropped back to 6f on her AW bow; she is well treated by the race conditions and Shane Foley is back on board
Class & Speed Card

NEVENDON travelled with real verve when landing a first chase success at Southwell 27 days ago and showed that he is still in good heart when a close-up second on the all-weather since. A 5lb higher mark in this sphere looks more than fair and the seven-year-old ticks plenty of the right boxes having previously performed well at this venue over hurdles. Chase debutant Fever Dream boasts a pointing background and he's feared most, ahead of Grain D'oudairies.

NEVENDON is getting the of things over fences now, beating a subsequent winner when off the mark at Southwell, and shades the vote over progressive hurdler Fever Dream, who may find this trip shorter than ideal on chase bow.

With a strong pace likely it could pay to side with the experienced GRAIN D'OUDAIRIES who won by a wide margin in March after a break.
Class & Speed Card

El Granjero justified his short odds in fine style on his handicap bow at Hereford in April and should mount a serious challenge off a 6lb higher rating. However, he could come out second best to CATCH HIM DERRY, who struck in commanding style in this grade over 3m at Ayr last time and he looks well placed to record a double. Canty Bay is another to note after his runner-up effort at Taunton at this level on his latest outing.

The one who stands out is CATCH HIM DERRY, who made it 2 wins from 3 starts in handicaps in ready fashion at Ayr 6 months ago and looks sure to go on improving this season. Shallow River sets out for a yard making hay with recruits from the same source so has to feared, along with Canty Bay, who resumed his progress with a good second at Taunton in April.

The eyes are drawn to CATCH HIM DERRY and El Granjero, both of whom signed off last season with progressive profiles.
Class & Speed Card

COLLUSION produced a career-best effort on his return to action when hitting the crossbar over 6f at Yarmouth eight days ago and he competes off the same mark. James Tate's three-year-old could have plenty more to offer on only his second handicap start and looks the one to beat. Smooth Silesie has occupied the runner-up berth on the all-weather the last twice and provided she can transfer that form to turf, she could have a say. Wrestling Revenue completes the shortlist.

COLLUSION left his qualifying form trailing in his wake when runner-up on handicap debut at Yarmouth a week ago and from the same mark, he's hard to get away from. Smooth Silesie has been kept busy this season but regularly gives her running, with Albegone another to consider.

The vote goes to the unexposed 3yo COLLUSION, who found improvement when going close on his handicap debut at Yarmouth last week.
Class & Speed Card

Plenty of future winners look sure to come out of this deep fillies' maiden. City Of Troy's half-sister TAKEMETOTHEMOON made up plenty of ground for third on racecourse bow at Leopardstown for Aidan O'Brien and can progress from that on her Polytrack debut. Adrian Murray's Carolina Jetstream certainly outran her odds when a never-nearer third in a fillies' maiden at the Curragh and the winner has since been placed in a Group 3. Takemetothemoon's stablemate, Dramatic, is half-sister to a Listed-placed horse (at Dundalk), while Justify filly Ethical Code could have a role to play on debut for Ger Lyons. Joseph O'Brien's trio of the 83-rated Cradle Of Love, and newcomers Mveve and Matrice cannot be ruled out.

TAKEMETOTHEMOON should have learnt plenty from her encouraging Leopardstown debut and gets the nod here. Cradle of Love and Carolina Jetstream head the list of dangers in what should prove an informative maiden.

Narrow preference is for CAROLINA JETSTREAM, third behind subsequent Group 3-placed Giselle at the Curragh, over Takemetothemoon.
Class & Speed Card

CATBOY lost little in defeat when finding only a rejuvenated rival too strong in a competitive 15-runner affair at Exeter last week. Christian Williams' charge races off an unchanged mark and he appears the one to beat on this quick turnaround. Mavis Pike has performed with credit in novice/maiden company and she enters handicaps off what looks a workable rating. The five-year-old may serve the most resistance to the selection, with Rocky's Glory making most appeal of the remainder.

CATBOY has looked a different proposition since tried in headgear and can register his second success. Mavis Pike and Ugo Bingo may provide the chief threat.

A modest race can go to SECRET SAUCE who is back with Tony Charlton and is well handicapped on his best form for him earlier this year.
Class & Speed Card

DOYOUKNOWWHATIMEAN accounted for his nearest rival by over six lengths in this grade at Stratford in March and makes his return to action off a 9lb higher rating. Dan Skelton's seven-year-old might only need to produce a repeat of that display in order to complete the hat-trick. Pachacuti was victorious over 3m1f at Wincanton in February and it would be no surprise to see him get involved, while Sherborne is another to note.

SHERBORNE is proven in testing conditions and has fitness on his side after a fine return at Exeter earlier this month. He makes plenty of appeal. Doyouknowwhatimean and Clonakilty are feared most.

Joe Tizzard's horses are running well and heavy-ground winner SHERBORNE might be the answer receiving weight from all his rivals.
Class & Speed Card

ISLE OF WOLVES may have been worth more than the winning margin suggests at Redcar on his latest outing. Harriet Bethell's eight-year-old only has a 3lb higher mark to contend with and he could be the one to beat. Dogged hasn't been far away the last twice and is in the mix again, for minor honours at least. Conditions will suit Contrast and Serena Brotherton is an interesting booking.

ISLE OF WOLVES seems well suited by very testing ground so shades the vote over penalised-winner French Martini, who's significantly down in trip. Dogged looks best of the others.

Several have claims but the vote goes to the resurgent ISLE OF WOLVES, who has won under Hannah Dring in two of his last three runs.
Class & Speed Card

Aidan O'Brien's FIRST WAVE looked a winner in waiting when pipped by a neck on debut in a maiden at the Curragh. That form took on an enhanced appearance when the horse that beat him filled the runner-up berth in a Group 1 at Newmarket. O'Brien's Serengeti was a beaten favourite in third at Leopardstown when perhaps the slow ground wasn't ideal for him at this stage of his career. Joseph O'Brien runs two horses with Dylan Browne McMonagle partnering newcomer Aeon's Aegis who should be monitored for market strength. His stablemate, Hostility, was an expensive purchase and has shown ability in fourth at the Curragh and when second in Listowel.

FIRST WAVE found only Dewhurst runner-up and stablemate Expanded too good on debut at the Curragh, shaping really well, and he's sure to progress and win races. Serengeti looked a touch disappointing at Leopardstown, but his successful stable companion Twain took the Criterium International at the weekend so he's fancied to give Aidan O'Brien another 1-2. Hostility is feared.

Dylan Browne McMonagle prefers AEON'S AEGIS to Hostility and a chance is taken that he can make a winning debut.
Class & Speed Card

BOSPHORUS ROSE outran big odds to finish a close-up third over 7f at Southwell earlier in the month and she is likely to have plenty more to offer on only her second start. The daughter of Golden Horn takes a step up in trip and looks the one to beat. Justenzia could only manage sixth on her debut over track and trip, but she might get closer with that experience under her belt. Any market confidence behind Tracy Lord should be noted.

BOSPHORUS ROSE belied huge odds when shaping well in third on debut at Southwell 3 weeks ago, not beaten far with inexperience very much apparent. She seems sure to improve and looks the way to go despite a high draw. Tracy Lord, Pacifist and Chilli Queen head up a host of interesting newcomers.

Perhaps this will go to a newcomer. AMERICAN GAL, who is closely related to six winners, is top of the list.
Class & Speed Card

Point-to-point winner GENTLEMAN TOBOOT changed hands for 46,000 euros in May and the son of Harzand is related to plenty of winners. David Pipe's four-year-old is fancied to make an instant impression, with his main threat possibly being Elysian Knight, who has made the frame on both of his bumper starts to date and should go well. Of the remainder, Kosac D'oudairies makes the most appeal on his first outing under Rules.

Very likely to go the way of a Rules newcomer and without the benefit of market information, GENTLEMAN TOBOOT is awarded the tentative vote on the back of an easy point win. Kosac d'Oudairies and Supreme Malinas are another couple of very likely types.

The betting should reveal clues but Dan Skelton clearly isn't fazed by pitching easy point winner SUPREME MALINAS in against the boys.
Class & Speed Card

AMEMRI has won twice over this C&D and gained a fourth career win again over this trip on his penultimate start at Listowel last month. The selection couldn't find any extra in the closing stages over a mile last time. Seas And Oceans has gone close on a number of occasions this season and had Akeela just a head behind in third when beating all bar The Cola Brasil over C&D earlier this month. Ferrari Desert ran a cracker in a 27-runner handicap at the Curragh last time and merits respect if backing that up on this sounder surface, while others to consider include Altimara, Rumbled Again and Golden Days.

SEAS AND OCEANS went close over this C&D recently and should go well again off the same mark. Akeela and Rumbled Again head the dangers.

Wide open with a chance taken on FERRARI DESERT following a promising Cork run over this trip
Class & Speed Card

Footwork was far from disgraced when he finished third on his nursery debut over C&D last time and he should mount a bold bid off a 1lb lower mark. However, the vote goes to ANGELICA BAY, who has filled the runner-up spot in each of her three starts in novice company and might be able to exploit an opening rating of 75. Reddeef completes the shortlist.

The drop back to 7f looks a good move for ENROLLED who is selected to make a successful nursery debut for the Fanshawe team. Notimeforchitchat, Reddeef and Cashlyn Cavalier head the many dangers in a competitive nursery.

James Fanshawe often brings his horses along slowly and ENROLLED is selected to make a winning nursery debut.
Class & Speed Card

FORLIO overcame a lengthy layoff when successful on his first outing for current connections over 1m3f at Limerick in May and has shown promise on a number of occasions since, often coming from well off the pace. The selection didn't enjoy much luck in running at Navan last week and the booking of Dylan Browne McMonagle adds to confidence. Picpoul has won twice over C&D and rates a threat having beaten all bar Church Mountain over an extended 1m2f here recently. Action Motion advertised his chance when a close fourth in first time blinkers at Thurles last time, while Glyde Ranger finished with a typical flourish when beaten less than two lengths here earlier this month.

FORLIO caught the eye in a race not run to suit at Navan last week and is clearly up to defying this sort of mark if things pan out a bit more favourably for him. Picpoul and Glyde Ranger head the opposition.

Runner-up over a slightly shorter trip here last time, PICPOUL can record a fourth course success for her locally-based trainer.
Class & Speed Card

BERMUDA LONGTAIL ran a debut full of promise when second over 6f at this venue earlier in the month and she is likely to take a big step forward from that display. With the prospect of more to come, she could prove tough to beat. Dash Of Azure has taken the silver medal home on each of her two starts to date and can pose the main threat, while Desert Spring needs to be monitored closely in the market on her debut.

DASH OF AZURE improved on her debut when runner-up at Yarmouth and, with this step back up in trip firmly in her favour, she takes preference over Bermuda Longtail, who started well here recently. Dancing Colours is the clear pick of the newcomers on paper.

Ralph Beckett has a line on Bermuda Longtail and his DASH OF AZURE is fancied to win at the third time of asking.
Class & Speed Card

OLIVIA JANE was beaten only a neck at Wolverhampton on debut despite failing to get a clear run. She looks assured to launch a serious challenge on that evidence and is marginally preferred to Choreographic. The latter was took a step forward here last time, when giving the strong impression this extra distance will suit, while Season Of Light will likely find this less competitive than her debut assignment at Newmarket and is one to note.

OLIVIA JANE made an excellent start to her career when runner-up at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago and with the promise of more to come, she looks the way to go. Choreographic reacted well to blinkers here last time and is just the type her leading yard will draw further improvement from, while Season of Light will surely show more this time.

A chance is taken that Charlie Appleby's SEASON OF LIGHT will be seen to better effect on this quicker surface.
Class & Speed Card

Raffles Angel recorded a double when successful at Yarmouth last month and can feature once again returning to the all-weather. However, COUP DE FORCE looks a more likely candidate to land a hat-trick given Stuart Kittow's five-year-old scored over course and distance before winning a shade cosily at Southwell on her latest start. Stanley Spencer is progressing nicely and makes more appeal than Treacherous of the remainder.

COUP DE FORCE is building a strong record on artificial surfaces and should make a bold bid for the hat-trick. Improving 3-y-os Stanley Spencer and Raffles Angel head the dangers.

The vote goes to Rae Guest's upwardly mobile filly RAFFLES ANGEL who remains on a workable mark despite a 4lb rise for her Yarmouth win.
Class & Speed Card

DAMASCUS STEEL tends to save his best for artificial surfaces and won here in August before a comfortable victory at Newcastle last time. The son of Mastercraftsman looks worth sticking with and can confirm latest form with third-placed Appier, despite a 3lb rise. The latter may well feature once again, although the less exposed Wiltshire Wonder looks a bigger threat with progression likely after winning at Southwell on his handicap debut.

Bumper winner WILTSHIRE WONDER overcame inexperience to score in good style on his handicap debut in this sphere at Southwell 3 weeks ago and can score again. Touch The Moon is interesting, while Rockit Tommy can continue to go well if starting on terms.

Stepping up to 1m4f and switching to AW could see TOUCH THE MOON leave his previous efforts in handicap company well behind.
Class & Speed Card

MARCHETTI may have been expensive to follow of late but, as she has a good record at this venue and ran well for Alex Voikhansky when a game third at Bath most recently, this consistent mare is given another chance to return to winning ways. No News and Blue Collar Lad are closely matched judged by their encounter at Lingfield last month and, on the revised terms, could chase the selection home in that order.

SOUTH DAKOTA SIOUX cashed in on a career-low mark at Wolverhampton last month and with that in mind, a 2 lb rise should be well within his compass. Diamondsinthesand seems sure to give another good account, while Bungle Bay could go well at a price back at 7f.

The selection is BLUE COLLAR LAD (nap), who has done very well since joining Daniel Steele and can add to his Chelmsford win last month.
Class & Speed Card

Purple Poppy ended a lengthy losing run in first-time blinkers when scoring over C&D a fortnight ago and she commands respect despite a 5lb higher mark. However, this could be a good time to catch the versatile SMASHER, who handles Polytrack and is worth chancing from just 2lb above his last winning mark on his first start after wind surgery. Art Fantastique and Vaunted complete the shortlist.

SEAS OF ELZAAM is becoming well handicapped so could be worth chancing after an eye-catching return over this C&D last month. Purple Poppy responded well to this headgear when scoring over C&D 2 weeks ago and is the obvious threat, with Smasher another to consider if ready to go.

Tom Ward's low-mileage 3yo ART FANTASTIQUE is taken to build on his good recent Windsor fourth and get off the mark for the season here
Class & Speed Card

Previous C&D winner BEGGARMAN is on a competitive rating and has plenty going for him at this trip, after finding winning elusive over 1m6f of late. Rob Honrby knows the selection well and it would be no surprise to see the partnership take this contest. Kissininthebackrow is noteworthy back on the Flat and could go well from a handy mark. Trojan Truth and Grey Fox are other key players.

Preference is for KISSININTHEBACKROW, who has proved consistent on the Flat this summer and remains feasibly treated. Beggarman and Grey Fox are also of interest.

The return to Kempton could be a major positive for SOPHAR SOGOOD and he earns the vote ahead of Kissininthebackrow.
Ths is the racecard key.

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.
