12:20 Bangor Handicap Chase (Class 5) 17f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (7/2 +46%) Force De Frap	3.5 7/2(+46%)	(2) Force De Frap 7/2, Scored at Taunton and Wincanton over hurdles last term and respectable efforts both starts this season, latterly finishing fourth of 13 upped to 19.7f at Hereford. Placed on 3 of his 5 chase starts in France and likely player with this drop back in trip a good move. Began season with two respectable hurdle runs but would appeal more on better ground.
2	7 2nd (7) (7/2 +50%) Yellow Jacket	3.5 7/2(+50%)	(7) Yellow Jacket 7/2, Lightly-raced maiden who found just one too good on chase debut at Ffos Las (2m, heavy) in March. Failed to build on that next time, though, and jockey bookings suggest that Ballybeg Boss is the stable No 1. Contender if judged on heavy-ground second in March; not seen since April, though.
3	1 3rd (1) (4/1 -14%) Ballybeg Boss	4 4/1(-14%)	(1) Ballybeg Boss 4/1, Irish point winner who made the frame in a bumper/first 2 starts in maiden/novice hurdles last winter. Disappointing at Newcastle when last seen in March but he's of interest now switched to the larger obstacles. Quite promising in novice hurdles last season; switched to fences for handicap debut.
4	4 4th (4) (6/1 -200%) Hector Master	6 6/1(-200%)	(4) Hector Master 6/1, Maiden hurdler who has made a positive start to chasing, runner-up in a Kelso handicap (17f, heavy) last time. 3 lb nudge fair enough and should pick up a race before long but he could probably do with stepping back up in trip. Stayed on strongly from poor position to take second at Kelso in October; 3lb higher here.
5th	5 5th (5) (6/1 +40%) Valirann Gold	6 6/1(+40%)	(5) Valirann Gold 6/1, Much improved when scoring over 2m at Chepstow in January but hasn't reproduced that level of form in 4 subsequent appearances. Well beaten on both starts this season but today's drop back in trip looks the right move.
6th	6 6th (6) (12/1 +40%) Higgs	12 12/1(+40%)	(6) Higgs 12/1, Dual hurdles winner back in 2018 and performed well on a couple of occasions over fences at the start of this year. Has failed to complete on each of his last 3 starts, though, and probably best watched here back from a 7-month break. Ran well over C&D in March but failed to complete next three races; back from a break.
7th	8 7th (8) (33/1 +18%) Royal Act	33 33/1(+18%)	(8) Royal Act 33/1, Poor nowadays and easy to oppose on the back a miserable reappearance display at Ffos Las where his jumping left much to be desired. Won over C&D on heavy in early 2022 but generally disappointing since.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (17/2 -155%) Abaya Du Mathan	8.5 17/2(-155%)	(3) Abaya Du Mathan 17/2, Dual handicap chase winner for David Pipe at Ffos Las this year. Returned to form with solid efforts in defeat at Hereford (2m) and Doncaster (19f) last month, both on good ground, and likely to be in the thick of things once again. Eight-time chase winner; ran well in defeat on both starts for new stable last month.

LTO Selection:

12:20 Bangor Handicap Chase (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

HECTOR MASTER has posted two solid runner-up efforts since going chasing this season and a 3lb rise for his latest second at Kelso may not be enough to prevent the six-year-old from gaining a first career success. The in-form veteran Abaya Du Mathan should put his experience in this sphere to good use and may give the selection most to think about, ahead of winning pointer Ballybeg Boss.

BALLYBEG BOSS ultimately proved a shade disappointing over hurdles last season but this former point winner is likely to be seen in a better light now handicapping/switched to fences off what looks a very reasonable opening mark. Force de Frap is interesting back in this sphere (placed on a few occasions over fences when trained in France) and he is second choice ahead of Abaya du Mathan.

Unexposed 5yo BALLYBEG BOSS makes his chase/handicap debut after a break but could turn out to be too good for this grade.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (6/4 +20%) Horacio Apple's	1.5 6/4(+20%)	(2) Horacio Apple's 6/4, Back-to-back hurdles winner last season, including at this course, and has shaped better than the bare result both starts switched to fences this time round (both at around 3m). Dropping back in trip here may help and he remains capable of better. Course winner over hurdles; drops in grade after creditable fifth at Wetherby last month.
2	5 2nd (5) (12/1 -50%) Our Friend Mo	12 12/1(-50%)	(5) Our Friend Mo 12/1, Third in her sole Irish point and showed ability in trio of mares' maiden/novice events earlier this year. Safely held on return/handicap debut at Chepstow and unseated here next time but she's in good hands and is one to keep an eye on now switched to fences. 0-5 over hurdles but may fare better now switched to chasing.
3	6 3rd (6) (9/2 +18%) Henry Gray	4.5 9/2(+18%)	(6) Henry Gray 9/2, Just modest form at best in a trio of hurdling outings but this former point winner showed ability on chase debut at Market Rasen (21.4f, good to soft) where he possibly failed to stay under an attacking ride. This slightly shorter trip will help and he's open to improvement. Tongue strap applied. Ran much better than 41l defeat might suggest on chase/handicap debut; shortlisted.
4	8 4th (8) (9/2 +55%) Nine Nine Nine	4.5 9/2(+55%)	(8) Nine Nine Nine 9/2, Fell heavily on chase debut at Warwick following a 19-month absence but negotiated the obstacles well enough when runner-up at Uttoxeter (2½m, heavy) recently. Still, he was flattered by his proximity to the winner there and remains vulnerable from a win point of view. Battled on well for second on heavy ground last month and still unexposed over fences.
5th	3 5th (3) (7/1 -75%) Fakir	7 7/1(-75%)	(3) Fakir 7/1, Won a 3-runner handicap chase at Fontwell on debut for Milton Harris last September. Mixed bag since but reappearance second at Sedgefield (21f, soft) was a decent enough effort to suggest he could have a part to play off the same mark on debut for his new yard. Arrested decline when second to progressive rival at Sedgefield in October; shortlisted.
1	1 \|F\| (1) (22/1 -214%) Lady Of The Night	22 22/1(-214%)	(1) Lady Of The Night 22/1, Novice hurdle winner during 2021/22 campaign. Lost her way over fences after a promising start last season, though, and reappearance effort at Lingfield was uninspiring. Cheekpieces applied. Well held at Lingfield last month and now 0-5 over fences; cheekpieces added today.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (9/1 +36%) Bells Of Stamford	9 9/1(+36%)	(7) Bells Of Stamford 9/1, Made the frame on first 2 starts over fences before showing improvement for a wind op/fitting of tongue strap to score at Warwick in February. However, he failed to fire on return at Ffos Las and is opposable on the back of that display. Ended last season in good form and might have needed last month's reappearance run.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (20/1 -150%) Billingsley	20 20/1(-150%)	(4) Billingsley 20/1, Back on scoreboard when taking 7-runner handicap chase off this mark at Chepstow (19.4f, good to soft) in April. Not in same form both starts since, though, and he's probably worth taking on. Not the force of old but won off this mark in April and copes well with heavy ground.

LTO Selection:

12:55 Bangor Handicap Chase (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

HORACIO APPLE'S shaped better than the finishing position suggests when fifth at Wetherby last month. The drop in trip from 3m may see the gelded son of Saddex in a better light and he's taken to get the better of Fakir. The eight-year-old finished runner-up on his reappearance at Sedgefield in October and is likely to be the mix once more, while Lady Of The Night races off a career-low mark and she cannot be ruled out either.

It may well be a case of third time lucky over fences for HORACIO APPLE'S, who appeared to find 3m on deep ground too much of a slog at Wetherby last time. He's now 2 lb lower and, moreover, will be suited by this drop back in trip. Henry Gray can be expected to leave his chase debut form well behind in time and is nominated as the main danger, though Fakir also merits respect and chase debutante Our Friend Mo needs a second look, too.

Grade-dropper HORACIO APPLE'S (nap) was right in the thick of things for a long way on heavy ground at Wetherby and can prevail here.

13:30 Bangor Handicap Chase (Class 3) 24f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (5/2 -11%) Hold That Taught	2.5 5/2(-11%)	(5) Hold That Taught 5/2, Often held back by his jumping/attitude but did little wrong when taking advantage of drop in the weights at Ascot on his return. Remains to be seen if he can back that up. Scored off reduced mark at Ascot last month and today's slower ground will also suit.
2	7 2nd (7) (13/2 -8%) Good Work	6.5 13/2(-8%)	(7) Good Work 13/2, Runner-up 5 times over fences last season (went close over 3m here) and not disgraced in a big field at Cheltenham on his return. However, ran a moody race at Wetherby since. Consistent last season but failed to win; ran no race on latest outing.
3	4 3rd (4) (11/2 +45%) Tiger Orchid	5.5 11/2(+45%)	(4) Tiger Orchid 11/2, Dual hurdles winner last term and has already matched that tally over fences, bagging a pair of 23f Worcester handicaps in summer. Posted another good effort after 3 months off when a strong-travelling third at Aintree (25f, heavy) 34 days ago. Merits serious consideration eased 1 lb. Has remained in good form since easy win in July; claims if he handles today's ground.
4	3 4th (3) (7/2 -56%) Yes Indeed	3.5 7/2(-56%)	(3) Yes Indeed 7/2, Fairly useful winning chaser in France who went close at Newbury on second run following a wind op in March. Good placed efforts both starts this season and should be in the mix again. Placed on last three appearances but tends not to find a great deal when it matters.
5th	1 5th (1) (40/1 -82%) Dieu Vivant	40 40/1(-82%)	(1) Dieu Vivant 40/1, Multiple hunter winner who took a 3m Bangor handicap chase in September. However, well beaten at Uttoxeter and Cheltenham since. Twice well beaten since easy C&D win in September; Toby Wynne prefers his stablemate.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (10/3 +52%) First Lord De Cuet	3.333333 10/3(+52%)	(2) First Lord De Cuet 10/3, Winning hurdler who made the frame on all of his 5 runs over fences last term. Had little go right at Cheltenham on his return so well worth another chance back down in class. Effective on heavy ground and well handicapped on last winter's form.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (14/1 +36%) Salvatore	14 14/1(+36%)	(6) Salvatore 14/1, A three-time hunter chase winner, signing off last term with success at Musselburgh in March. Looked very rusty at Fontwell on return and better expected now. Triple hunter chase winner (once over C&D); struggled on recent handicap chase debut.

LTO Selection:

13:30 Bangor Handicap Chase (Class 3) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

YES INDEED was far from disgraced when finishing third on his reappearance in a competitive handicap chase at Carlisle last month and any natural improvement could make the gelding tough to pass. Hold That Taught is also likely to prove popular after his victory at Ascot. A 3lb rise is unlikely to prevent another bold bid from the eight-year-old and he merits respect, while First Lord De Cuet should make his presence felt too.

Things didn't go to plan for FIRST LORD DE CUET on his return at Cheltenham last month but is worth another chance off a tempting mark back down in class. Tiger Orchid and Yes Indeed continue to hold their form well and rate the main threats.

The suggestion is HOLD THAT TAUGHT, who still looks well handicapped after a 3lb rise for last month's Ascot win.

14:05 Bangor Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 23f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (5/2 +38%) Tanganyika	2.5 5/2(+38%)	(3) Tanganyika 5/2, Registered first victory for this yard at Carlisle (19f) in February but hasn't reproduced that in his 3 outings since, fading into fifth back from a break at Wincanton (2½m) last month. Others arrive with more pressing claims. Didn't fire when warm favourite last month but remains on a workable mark.
2	6 2nd (6) (3/1 +25%) Chris Cool	3 3/1(+25%)	(6) Chris Cool 3/1, Back from 7 months off when taking 6-runner handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (25f, good to soft) last month. A 6 lb rise is unlikely to prevent another bold bid from this former course scorer. Beat two next-time-out winners when back over hurdles for last month's seasonal debut.
2	4 2nd (4) (3/1 +40%) Astronomic View	3 3/1(+40%)	(4) Astronomic View 3/1, Exeter bumper winner who has shown fair form in a light hurdle career, making a solid start in handicaps when second of 7 over 18.5f at Exeter 19 days ago. Up in trip. Respected. Ran well in defeat on last month's handicap debut; upped from 2m2f today.
4	2 4th (2) (7/1 -100%) Shallow River	7 7/1(-100%)	(2) Shallow River 7/1, Fairly useful 2m winner for Fergal O'Brien and 3 good runner-up efforts at up to 21.5f for Milton Harris this autumn. Seemed to lose concentration a bit when headed near the finish at Carlisle last time and has cheekpieces added here. Now under the care of Anthony Charlton. Good second in valuable Carlisle contest last month; still on workable mark after 2lb rise.
5th	1 5th (1) (9/1 -64%) Butler's Brief	9 9/1(-64%)	(1) Butler's Brief 9/1, Got back on scoreboard at Kelso 34 days ago, finding plenty under pressure. Should remain competitive after a 4 lb rise. Inconsistent this season, but not far off career-best form when scoring at Kelso last time.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (8/1 +43%) Samuel Jackson	8 8/1(+43%)	(5) Samuel Jackson 8/1, Lost his way over fences when last seen in the spring but he has been given a chance by the handicapper as a result (third over hurdles off 10 lb higher last winter) if reviving after a break. Not seen since pulled up in two chases in March but on a tempting hurdle mark.

LTO Selection:

14:05 Bangor Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 23f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

A tentative vote is for CHRIS COOL, who exploited a career-low mark of 96 when scoring in good style over 3m1f at Huntingdon last month. A repeat of that effort, up just 6lb in the ratings, would make him difficult to stop. Butler's Brief rates as the biggest danger up 4lb for his comfortable success over 3m2f at Kelso, while the consistent Shallow River is expected to hit the frame.

Last month's Huntingdon scorer Chris Cool might be able to cope with a 6 lb rise. Astronomic View has the potential to build on his Exeter handicap debut second and gets the nod for the forecast spot ahead of Shallow River.

His stamina heads into unknown territory but this is a drop in grade for SHALLOW RIVER, who went down fighting at Carlisle last month.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (5/2 -25%) Classic Lord	2.5 5/2(-25%)	(1) Classic Lord 5/2, Useful on Flat and came good over hurdles in a Fontwell novice (17.7f, soft) last month. Did that easily and could be up to defying a penalty. Won by 14l on heavy ground at Fontwell last month; obvious contender.
2	8 2nd (8) (5/1 +0%) Two Auld Pals	5 5/1(+0%)	(8) Two Auld Pals 5/1, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat (stays 2¼m), won 3 times in 2023 but below form last 2 starts. Has left Jim Goldie ahead of hurdle debut. Fair Flat-racer who stays well and won on heavy ground in August; hurdle debut today.
3	2 3rd (2) (18/1 +28%) Catch Him Derry	18 18/1(+28%)	(2) Catch Him Derry 18/1, Needed experience sole outing in bumpers and was given a considerate introduction to hurdling when third 21 lengths third of 8 over C&D 13 days ago. Likely to improve. Made just a mildly encouraging hurdle debut when well-held third over C&D two weeks ago.
4	9 4th (9) (8/1 +50%) Yealand	8 8/1(+50%)	(9) Yealand 8/1, Twice-raced maiden. Second in a juvenile hurdle at Chepstow on debut in April. Off 7 months. shaped as if better for the run when fifth of 11 at Carlisle last month. Retains potential. Shaped with promise on both hurdle starts but (2m/2m4f) but probably needs to improve here.
5th	4 5th (4) (9/4 -13%) Just Gino	2.25 9/4(-13%)	(4) Just Gino 9/4, €26,000 3-y-o, £100,000 4-y-o, It's Gino gelding. Dam, lighlty-raced maiden on Flat in France, sister to useful French chaser (17f-23f winner) Savigny. Won sole start in Irish points in March and needs taking seriously for leading course trainer. Bought for £100,000 after soft-ground Irish point win in March; rules debut today.
6th	10 6th (10) (250/1 -67%) Orbys River	250 250/1(-67%)	(10) Orbys River 250/1, Failed to complete both starts in Irish points and a Uttoxeter novice on hurdling debut. Hard to fancy. Pulled up when 66-1 for last month's stable/hurdle debut.
7th	5 7th (5) (22/1 -10%) One Eye On Vegas	22 22/1(-10%)	(5) One Eye On Vegas 22/1, Third on bumper debut in March 2021 but only modest form shown after a long absence in a pair of novice hurdles at Carlisle and Warwick recently. Needs a big step forward. Not beaten far at Warwick last month but may fare better when qualified for handicaps.
8th	6 8th (6) (11/1 -38%) Pearl Island	11 11/1(-38%)	(6) Pearl Island 11/1, Shaped like a stayer when placed in a pair of bumpers and did the same sent hurdling when fourth in 2m4f Uttoxeter novice 27 days ago. This drop in trip is unlikely to suit. Just a respectable fourth on seasonal/hurdle debut but might come on for the run.
9th	7 9th (7) (150/1 -50%) Streamsforth Lad	150 150/1(-50%)	(7) Streamsforth Lad 150/1, Showed some ability in bumpers but was pulled up on hurdling debut here 13 days ago. Placed on bumper debut but struggled when a big-priced outsider for recent hurdle debut.
10th	3 10th (3) (8/1 -45%) Golden Ambition	8 8/1(-45%)	(3) Golden Ambition 8/1, Made a promising start over hurdles when fourth in 10-runner novice (80/1) at Lingfield (19.5f, soft) 31 days ago. Drop in trip not sure to suit, though. Made low-key bumper debut in April but last month's hurdling debut was quite promising.

LTO Selection:

14:35 Bangor Novices Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

CLASSIC LORD was a bloodless winner over the extended 2m1f at Fontwell last time and this looks a good opportunity to follow up that success. The five-year-old can continue on an upward trajectory. Just Gino is fancied to give the selection most to think about on his first start under Rules for the in-form Donald McCain yard, while Two Auld Pals makes most appeal of the remainder.

CLASSIC LORD got off the mark over hurdles in tidy fashion at Fontwell last month and is selected to defy a penalty, though strong market support for winning Irish pointer Just Gino would put a slightly different slant on matters. Golden Ambit isn't sure to be suited by the drop in trip but is still third choice.

The one with least to prove is CLASSIC LORD, who comes here after a fairly comfortable win on heavy ground at Fontwell last month.

15:10 Bangor Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 17f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (5/2 -25%) Mullins Cross	2.5 5/2(-25%)	(4) Mullins Cross 5/2, Twenty two runs since last win in 2021 but he posted a good fifth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy) 24 days ago. This Irish challenger is weighted to go close. Just 1-27 over hurdles but consistent in recent months and versatile regarding ground.
2	2 2nd (2) (5/2 +64%) Whitehaven	2.5 5/2(+64%)	(2) Whitehaven 5/2, Fairly useful on Flat (stays 16.5f) but tailed off at Chester on final outing in that sphere in May and has failed to go on in four runs over hurdles. Something to prove. Ran well to a point on recent handicap hurdle debut and that run may have brought him on.
3	6 3rd (6) (66/1 -32%) Book Of Verse	66 66/1(-32%)	(6) Book Of Verse 66/1, Poor maiden on Flat and over hurdles, cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code when tenth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (19.7f, good) 16 days ago. Hard to warm to. Lowly rated Flat maiden who hasn't shown a great deal over hurdles for new stable.
4	7 4th (7) (8/1 -78%) Cosheston	8 8/1(-78%)	(7) Cosheston 8/1, Still a maiden and off 17 months since a good second in 3m handicap hurdle at Southwell. Cheekpieces back on. In the mix for good yard despite his absence. Posted sound effort when second on latest outing, but that was in June 2022.
5th	3 5th (3) (9/4 +0%) Rolypolymoly	2.25 9/4(+0%)	(3) Rolypolymoly 9/4, Dual 2m hurdles winner in 2022 who got back on track when third of 10 in handicap chase at Exeter (17.5f, soft) on debut over fences 52 days ago on his final run for Adam West. No forlorn hope back hurdling for his new yard. Bought for 2,000gns after respectable chase debut in October; back hurdling for new stable.
6th	5 6th (5) (11/1 +21%) Chase Outlaw	11 11/1(+21%)	(5) Chase Outlaw 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden hurdler, only seventh of 9 in novice hurdle (50/1) at Southwell 13 months ago. Needs a big step forward on his handicap hurdle debut on his comeback run. Absent since struggling in Southwell maiden 13 months ago; others have much less to prove.

LTO Selection:

15:10 Bangor Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Mullins Cross has been running to a consistent level in recent starts and she must enter calculations, but a chance can be taken on WHITEHAVEN. A useful sort on the Flat, Donald McCain's charge finished down the field on last month's reappearance but ought to improve for the run and his earlier hurdling form would give him every chance, with forecast ground conditions expected to be no problem. Rolypolymoly is also noted.

Irish-raider MULLINS CROSS is on a long losing run but rates the pick of these weights so gets the vote in a contest where lots arrive with question marks against them. Cosheston could emerge as the chief threat despite having a long absence to overcome, with Rolypolymoly not ruled out for his new yard.

She has a modest strike-rate but MULLINS CROSS has posted some pretty good efforts on slow ground in recent months and gets the vote.

1	1 1st (1) (11/4 -69%) Guard The Moon	2.75 11/4(-69%)	(1) Guard The Moon 11/4, 33/1, showed ability when midfield in 13-runner Newbury bumper and confirmed that encouragement when off the mark in a weaker contest over C&D 13 days ago. Solid claims under a penalty. Won four-runner C&D event by 10l a fortnight ago; likely contender under penalty.
2	2 2nd (2) (11/10 +45%) Grand Albert	1.1 11/10(+45%)	(2) Grand Albert 11/10, £120,000 5-y-o, Jet Away gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler Iwasthefutureonce. Successful on second of 2 starts in Irish points (Apr 9). Of obvious interest on Rules debut. Bought for £120,000 soon after 12l Irish point win in April; interesting recruit.
3	4 3rd (4) (7/2 -75%) Josie Alice	3.5 7/2(-75%)	(4) Josie Alice 7/2, Soldier of Fortune mare. Half-sister to 3 winners, including smart bumper winner/top-class hurdler The New One and fairly useful chaser The Newest One, stays 3¼m. Successful on last of 3 starts in Irish points (Apr 22). Makes plenty of appeal. Beat five other mares in slow-ground Irish point in April; market may guide on rules debut.
4	3 4th (3) (17/2 +39%) Lawrenny	8.5 17/2(+39%)	(3) Lawrenny 17/2, Black Sam Bellamy gelding. Dam (h95), lightly raced over hurdles, 1¾m-2m winner on Flat. Should have enough pace for this test, so worth monitoring in the betting. Third foal from a fairly useful Flat stayer; stable has modest bumper strike-rate.
5th	5 5th (5) (50/1 +24%) Mivvi	50 50/1(+24%)	(5) Mivvi 50/1, £1,000 3-y-o, Sixties Icon filly. Sister to fairly useful winner up to 1m Sixntwothrees. Dam unraced. £1,000 3yo; sister to a useful 7f/1m Flat winner; stable quiet in bumpers.

LTO Selection:

15:42 Bangor NH Flat Race (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

GUARD THE MOON trounced his rivals over C&D earlier this month. On that evidence, Nigel Twiston-Davies' five-year-old looks more than capable of carrying a penalty to further success, although point-to-point winner Josie Alice, a half-sister to three winners including bumper scorer The New One, could have a say on her Rules debut. Grand Albert is another to take seriously, while Lawrenny is worth a market check too.

JOSIE ALICE and Grand Albert have joined top yards after winning between the flags and they might dominate this contest, with marginal preference for the former. Guard The Moon is also worthy of respect after scoring over C&D recently.

This might go to GRAND ALBERT, who changed hands for a six-figure sum after his wide-margin Irish point win in April.
