Runner-up at Naas in a similar race last month, GREAT MOVER can confirm form with those that finished in behind. Stepping back up to a mile for the first time since her racecourse debut, the Willie McCreery-trained filly was always prominent before leading over a furlong out. Staying on strongly once headed close home, she can go one better here. Buck Barrow caught the eye further back, staying on late in first-time cheekpieces. It is somewhat surprising that connections have opted to remove the headgear on this occasion. However, if able to reproduce that run, the Without Parole colt looks a serious contender. Your Call, who made much of the running before eventually finishing fourth in that Naas race is another that should be competitive.

This looks wide open so it could pay to take a chance on NOW, who was disappointing on her nursery debut at Naas a fortnight ago but she's been dropped 3 lb and first-time blinkers may well eke out some required improvement. Great Mover ran her best race when runner-up in the same race as the selection last time, so she heads up the opposition, with Baltray Lady and Your Call another couple fancied to go well, too.

A competitive nursery can go the way of BALTRAY LADY, who ran a good race when 6th behind a pair of Group 1-entered fillies at Galway

The former British-trained INA MINA has shaped well enough in three starts for Ken Condon to suggest she can get her head in front. Third in a much stronger maiden at Leopardstown on her Irish debut, the daughter of Ulysses ran respectably at Cork next time, before producing a career best when runner-up at Clonmel last time out. Provided she acts on the forecast soft ground, the three-year-old looks the one to beat. Miss Tapley should have no issues with underfoot conditions, having done all her racing on an easy surface to date. Third at Roscommon last time, the Joseph O'Brien-trained filly holds leading claims in this modest affair. Storm Averted shaped well enough when third on her latest outing to suggest she too can get involved.

STORM AVERTED has shaped well on both starts and can improve past more-established pair Miss Tapley and Ina Mina.

MISS TAPLEY boasts some solid maiden form and was short of room when third at Roscommon latest. She gets the vote.

A promising third on her recent handicap debut at Clonmel, SWEET VERONA can go two places better here. The Willie McCreery-trained filly had shown promise on a couple of occasions in maidens prior to improving on her initial outing in this grade. Although a high draw is a slight negative, the Make Believe filly tends to race prominently so should be quick into stride. The consistent Finsceal Annie has also found herself starting from a wide stall but she too has to be a leading contender. A winner at Tipperary in August, the Ciaran Murphy-trained filly finished runner-up either side of that success. There was also something to take from her most recent fourth at Punchestown. Are You In Or Out, who finished runner-up here in July, should appreciate returning to this venue.

The Billy Lee-ridden SWEET VERONA gets the nod to build on a promising handicap debut third at Clonmel last month and prove too strong for Monday's Down Royal scorer Alex Belardo. Ragtime Milly shaped quite well when fourth at Gowran recently and completes the shortlist.

BUCKHEAD BETTY was an eyecatching fifth on handicap debut at Clonmel last month and she can take another step forward

The Jessica Harrington-trained PRESENCE can defy topweight here in this tight knit handicap. Runner-up at Punchestown last month, the three-year-old looked ill at ease on the track before finishing strongly. Only 2lb higher now, the daughter of New Bay catches the eye in first-time cheekpieces. Pepper Noir has been off since May but on her earlier form the Gavin Cromwell-trained filly would be a threat. Lightly raced on turf, the three-year-old shaped well on both starts at the Curragh earlier in the season. Vassula Ryden has been coming down in the handicap and there have been more positive signs of late.

PRESENCE has had a good spell in recent months and is preferred to Willie McCreery's Vassula Ryden, a creditable fourth over C&D last time. C&D specialist The Bog Bank would also need considering if turning out again.

PRESENCE is in form, she handles the ground and if the cheekpieces eke out a little bit more improvement she is up to winning this.

Naas runner-up SUNDAY SOVEREIGN can gain a first success for trainer George Kingston. A five-time career winner, the seven-year-old ran his best race since joining present connections when staying on well for minor honours last time. While there is a slight concern that 5f might be on the sharp side at this stage of his life, the gelding is likely to benefit from arriving late from off a fast pace. Devil's Angel, who kept on well when fifth at Fairyhouse last month, should be involved if handling the forecast soft ground. Kevin Coleman's gelding has yet to prove he acts with an ease although he has had few opportunities to do so. Lismacbryan makes her handicap debut in a moderate affair and market support would be noteworthy.

SUNDAY SOVEREIGN ran a cracker at Naas 6 weeks ago and has good claims if backing that up with Colin Keane now on board. Devil's Angel and Clarinbridge are a couple of others to consider.

The vote goes to BELLA MISTIKO, as a reproduction of her Sligo maiden second in May brings her right into this
Class & Speed Card

Highly tried since making a winning reappearance at Leopardstown in April, CHANTILLY can register a second career victory. The Aidan O'Brien-trained colt shaped well in some hotly contested handicaps prior to finding Group 3 class a bridge too far last time. Back in these much calmer waters, the son of Galileo should take all the beating. Poetic Sound is a lightly-raced gelding open to any amount of improvement. Sent off favourite when third on his racecourse debut at Killarney in July, the Ger Lyons-trained three-year-old recovered losses at Roscommon the following month. That form has since received a boost when the runner-up won at Listowel. Topweight Sea Eagle cannot be discounted with the aid of Jack Cleary's 7lb claim.

CHANTILLY hasn't really kicked on from a promising start to the season but this represents a marked drop in class and he should be able to capitalise for all that Weston is a big threat on form. Poetic Sound is open to further improvement and isn't a forlorn hope.

POETIC SOUND (nap) won well over this trip on testing ground at Roscommon. He is unexposed and there should be plenty more to come

Michael Halford and Tracey Collins can add another winner here with SLIEVE BEARNAGH. Well backed when staying on strongly over two furlongs shorter at Navan last time, the seven-year-old should appreciate stepping up in trip. Ridden by an inexperienced 10lb apprentice at the County Meath track, the son of Zoffany now has Ronan Whelan back in the saddle. Twice successful over hurdles earlier in the year, the Paul Rooney-owned gelding looks well handicapped on the Flat. Trainer Harry Rogers runs three in this race, and Arcland could prove to be the best of his trio. Stablemate Grann's Boy, who is equipped with first-time blinkers, should also give his trainer a strong chance.

Having shaped as if well treated on his penultimate outing, GRANN'S BOY didn't fire last time, but he's had a break and blinkers are applied, so he's the most appealing in a weak race on paper. Slieve Bearnagh is one of the few to arrive in form and he's regarded as the main danger.

NOBLE ANDY is a speculative selection. He caught the eye making late gains last time over shorter and this step up in trip will suit
Class & Speed Card

A contest run in memory of his late wife Mary, trainer Harry Rogers can gain an appropriate success with GOTTA CATCH'EM ALL. The lightly-raced son of Free Eagle wasn't able to trouble the judge in two handicap runs last month, but he is 5lb lower for the latest of those efforts and a marked step up in trip could unlock some improvement. Topweight Enquire Within had been threatening to get her head in front for some time prior to winning at Down Royal last month. Runner-up on two occasions at this track, the mare should run her race under Wesley Joyce. Roscommon runner-up Kool One is a lightly raced gelding that should be open to more improvement than most after just the six starts.

ENQUIRE WITHIN is holding her form well and has the most persuasive claims of these. Prairie Angel and Kool One are a couple of the dangers.

Preference is for IMPERIAL MISS. She showed promise the last twice and the step back up in trip and return to soft ground will suit

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.

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.
