16:29 Cork Maiden 8f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	10 1st (10) (6.5/1 -18%) Unreasonable	6.5 6.5/1(-18%)	(10) Unreasonable 6.5/1, Foaled May 2. 375,000 gns yearling, No Nay Never filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful 7f-9f winner Neptune Rock and useful 8.6f-11.3f winner Dream Harder. Dam unraced half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Yellow Rosebud. Lots to like on paper. Nice pedigree and related to good winners; should come on for this but not underestimated.
2	8 2nd (8) (3/1 +0%) Settlement	3 3/1(+0%)	(8) Settlement 3/1, Promising sort. 7/1, showed plenty of ability when fourth of 13 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, good to soft) on debut 18 days ago. Should progress. Shaped very nicely on debut in a potentially good Curragh maiden last month; big chance.
3	3 3rd (3) (0.67/1 +83%) Foxtrot Zulu	0.67 0.67/1(+83%)	(3) Foxtrot Zulu 0.67/1, Foaled April 17. 450,000 gns yearling, Saxon Warrior filly. Half-sister to several winners, including very smart US winner up to 9f Going Global and smart winner up to 6f Mitbaahy. Dam 1¼m winner. Ticks plenty of boxes. Cost 450,000Gns and related to plenty of good winners; interesting newcomer.
4	9 4th (9) (200/1 -100%) The Crafty Girl	200 200/1(-100%)	(9) The Crafty Girl 200/1, Twice-raced filly. 80/1, couldn't even match debut form when tenth of 11 in maiden at Naas (5.9f, good) 10 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Well beaten in two maidens and might do better in nursery company.
5th	5 5th (5) (7/1 -40%) Glor Tire	7 7/1(-40%)	(5) Glor Tire 7/1, Followed a below-par effort with an even worse one when sixth of 11 in maiden at Tipperary (7.4f, soft, 8/1) 26 days ago. Upped to 1m for the first time and needs to get back on track. Disappointing twice since and vulnerable to plenty of less exposed types here.
6th	7 6th (7) (40/1 +0%) Masaiya	40 40/1(+0%)	(7) Masaiya 40/1, Seventh of 9 in maiden (66/1) at Leopardstown (7f, good) on debut 13 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Bred to need time and distance and this should reveal more. Tongue-tie tried here and better can be expected but looks up against it.
7th	1 7th (1) (100/1 +0%) Abel Mabel	100 100/1(+0%)	(1) Abel Mabel 100/1, Foaled March 10. €1,000 yearling, Elusive Pimpernel filly. Sister to 2-y-o 7f winner Rabbit Elusive and half-sister to 2-y-o 9f winner Word's of Ice. Dam unraced half-sister to very smart 11.7f-2m winner Voleuse de Coeurs. Inexpensively bought daughter of Elusive Pimpernel; should do better given time and trip.

LTO Selection:

Galileo filly GRATEFUL is out of Breeders' Cup Mile and six-time top-level winner Tepin, and was very green on debut. She was never in contention at the Curragh but if she breaks well and races with the pace, is likely to improve dramatically. Camelot Alexander, out of a Group 3 winner, ran well on debut at Tipperary and while well held by the winner, holds experienced 84-rated Glor Tire on that form. Settlement showed ability when leading on her Curragh introduction, but her trainer's stable jockey rides at Gowran, while Masaiya needs to improve from her Leopardstown debut and runs in a first-time tongue-tie. Foxtrot Zulu is a half-sister to pacey Group 1 and Group 3 winners, but it is a possible negative that she debuts over a mile as a juvenile. There are capable winners in Unreasonable's pedigree.

A host in with chances and it could be worth taking a punt on newcomer FOXTROT ZULU, who fetched a mouth-watering 450,000 gns as a yearling and confidence would only heighten should market support arrive. Settlement showed plenty of ability when fourth at the Curragh on debut recently, so she could be the one to give the selection most to think about, with Camelot Alexander and Grateful another pair fancied to be bang there.

The one to be on looks to be SETTLEMENT who ran a very nice race at the Curragh despite things not going her way

16:29 Cork Maiden 8f PREDICTION SIMULATION

17:04 Cork Maiden 8f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
8	8 (8) (3.33/1 +0%) Muhaarar's Girl	3.33 3.33/1(+0%)	(8) Muhaarar's Girl 3.33/1, Lightly-raced filly. Evens, creditable second of 7 in maiden at Roscommon (7.4f, good to soft) 15 days ago, clear of rest. Likely contender. Back up to 1m is likely to suit but needs to find a bit more to win this.
7	7 (7) (7/1 +50%) Vera's Secret	7 7/1(+50%)	(7) Vera's Secret 7/1, Epaulette filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful 1m winner Brains and 1m winner Pure Action. Bred to appreciate this trip; best watched on somewhat belated debut.
1	1 1st (1) (3.33/1 -11%) Lord Vader	3.33 3.33/1(-11%)	(1) Lord Vader 3.33/1, Fairly useful gelding. Remains a maiden after 11 Flat runs. 5/2, creditable third of 11 in maiden at Galway (8.3f, soft) 32 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Not out of things. 11-race maiden; respected with the champion jockey booked but needs to find a bit more.
2	3 2nd (3) (4/1 +27%) Highland Rahy	4 4/1(+27%)	(3) Highland Rahy 4/1, Fairly useful gelding who bounced back to best, in first-time cheekpieces, when third of 11 in maiden at Leopardstown (8f, good) 13 days ago. Likely contender. Ran close to his best latest having been gelded and fitted with cheekpieces; respected.
3	6 3rd (6) (1/1 +50%) The First And Last	1 1/1(+50%)	(6) The First And Last 1/1, Lightly-raced colt. Fifth of 8 in maiden at Leopardstown (9f, good, 13/2) 20 days ago. Yard in good form. Ought to go close. Touched off in maidens at Cork and Ballinrobe; back to 1m should suit and sets a standard.
4	4 4th (4) (6/1 +57%) Ninth Life	6 6/1(+57%)	(4) Ninth Life 6/1, Lightly-raced gelding. Respectable sixth of 10 in handicap (16/1) at Leopardstown (8f, good) 76 days ago. Can make presence felt. Needs to find a little to win a maiden but stable in good form and should run his race.
5th	2 5th (2) (22/1 +67%) Fianian	22 22/1(+67%)	(2) Fianian 22/1, €9,000 yearling, Kuroshio gelding. Dam 11.5f-1¾m winner. Likely to improve for whatever he does here.

LTO Selection:

THE FIRST AND LAST has had a light campaign this summer, but his C&D short-head defeat in April was useful. He faces a slightly lesser task than when finishing fifth at Leopardstown last month, which was also his first run for 52 days. Muhaarar's Girl is suited by this distance and while she appears limited, a return to drier ground could help. Highland Rahy was well behind the selection here last April, but has shown much better form since and has place claims. Ninth Life ran OK over C&D in May and returns from a mini-break, while Lord Vader, second in a Naas charity race recently, needs to improve and runs in first-time cheekpieces. Vera's Secret is a half-sister to an 11-time winner but makes a belated debut aged four.

THE FIRST AND LAST should be suited by the drop back in trip here and can open his account at the fifth attempt. Highland Rahy and Muhaarar's Girl rate the principal dangers.

The standard is set by THE FIRST AND LAST due to narrow defeats at Cork and Ballinrobe and he might be good enough

17:04 Cork Maiden 8f PREDICTION SIMULATION

17:39 Cork Stakes 6f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	6 1st (6) (0.5/1 +32%) King Cuan	0.5 0.5/1(+32%)	(6) King Cuan 0.5/1, Promising type. Fourth of 17 in maiden (6/4) at the Curragh (6f, good to soft) on debut, keeping on late having been denied a clear run. Off 103 days. Could improve considerably and should take the beating. Unlucky on debut in May; looks a colt with talent and might be very hard to beat here.
2	4 2nd (4) (8.5/1 -21%) Pipsy	8.5 8.5/1(-21%)	(4) Pipsy 8.5/1, Foaled February 13. €60,000 foal, Kodiac filly. Dam unraced half-sister to very smart performer up to 15f Ziyad, twice placed in Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud. Wears tongue strap. Worthy of some interest first time out. Middle distance pedigree and tongue-tied for her debut; interesting newcomer.
3	5 3rd (5) (50/1 -100%) Apachetwohundred	50 50/1(-100%)	(5) Apachetwohundred 50/1, Foaled March 26. €24,000 yearling, Awtaad gelding. Half-brother to 2-y-o 6f winner King's Crown and 7f/1m winner London Sky. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner. Not an obvious sort on paper. The sole newcomer of the three stable runners and best watched.
4	8 4th (8) (25/1 +50%) Sovereign City	25 25/1(+50%)	(8) Sovereign City 25/1, Twice-raced maiden. 16/1, fourth of 8 in maiden at Bellewstown (5f, good) 8 days ago, nearest finish. Others make more appeal. Good late work in a Bellewstown maiden and the extra furlong will suit; plenty more needed.
5th	7 5th (7) (66/1 -100%) Romford	66 66/1(-100%)	(7) Romford 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 33/1, ninth of 10 in maiden at Leopardstown (7f, good) 13 days ago. Needs to improve. Dropping back to this trip might help but likely to fare better in a nursery.
6th	1 6th (1) (3.2/1 -16%) McTenett	3.2 3.2/1(-16%)	(1) McTenett 3.2/1, Confirmed debut promise when off the mark in 11-runner maiden at Naas (5.9f, good, 9/4) 10 days ago, driven clear. More to come and seems likely to feature again. Should be capable of better but tough ask at the weights, even with a top 7lb claimer on.
7th	3 7th (3) (12/1 +33%) Bodyguard	12 12/1(+33%)	(3) Bodyguard 12/1, Foaled April 4. €30,000 yearling, Havana Grey colt. Dam placed at 1m-1½m out of winning half-sister to smart 1½m-16.5f winner Pale Mimosa. Notable newcomer. Stoutly bred newcomer on the distaff side so interesting to see him debut over this trip.

LTO Selection:

KING CUAN met significant trouble in running on debut and is clearly capable. The form of that Curragh maiden has worked out very well, with the winner and fifth-placed horses each winning subsequently, while the runner-up was later fifth in the Phoenix Stakes. He conceded weight to those rivals but today receives 9lb from principal opponent McTenett, a maiden winner recently. McTenett himself conceded weight in winning at Naas, but faces a tougher task now aiming to do the same to the selection. Bodyguard, a 30,000-euro yearling, is by a sprinting stallion and could be useful, while Sovereign City has place claims. Pipsy is out of an unraced half-sister to a French Group 2 winner but debuts in a first-time tongue-tie.

KING CUAN was a warm order for his debut and shaped with a good deal of promise when fourth at the Curragh, so he's a confident choice to open his account at the second attempt. McTenett, the only previous winner in the field, looks the obvious danger and Pipsy is the most interesting newcomer.

Unlucky on debut at the Curragh in May, KING CUAN looks one to be on the right side of and can land this

17:39 Cork Stakes 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

18:10 Cork Handicap 6f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	7 1st (7) (2.75/1 +39%) Collective Power	2.75 2.75/1(+39%)	(7) Collective Power 2.75/1, Latest win at Navan in June. Creditable third of 17 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, good, 8/1) 11 days ago. Can make presence felt. 2lb lower here after finishing a close third in a Curragh handicap last month; contender.
2	4 2nd (4) (5/1 +50%) Furnace Creek	5 5/1(+50%)	(4) Furnace Creek 5/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Limerick in June. 4/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Leopardstown (7f, good) 13 days ago, doing too much too soon. Likely to be back on his game. Won Limerick handicap in June and third at the Curragh in August; inconsistent otherwise.
3	9 3rd (9) (10/1 +60%) Cash Or Crypto	10 10/1(+60%)	(9) Cash Or Crypto 10/1, Unreliable individual. Pulled up in handicap (18/1) at Dundalk (6f) 22 days ago. Others make more appeal. Refused to race last twice; extremely risky proposition at the moment.
4	8 4th (8) (7/1 +13%) Ice Cold In Alex	7 7/1(+13%)	(8) Ice Cold In Alex 7/1, Respectable seventh of 17 in handicap (10/1) at the Curragh (6f, good) 11 days ago, nearest finish. Can make his presence felt if the race is run to suit. Disappointing season; down to his lowest mark since 2018 and cannot be totally dismissed.
5th	10 5th (10) (20/1 +39%) Mount Ruapehu	20 20/1(+39%)	(10) Mount Ruapehu 20/1, Course winner. Last of 10 in handicap at Tipperary (5f, soft, 40/1) 26 days ago. Plenty to prove at present. Return to this venue might well revive his fortunes but others preferred.
6th	11 6th (11) (6/1 +63%) Tamazu	6 6/1(+63%)	(11) Tamazu 6/1, 7/1, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Bellewstown (5f, good) 8 days ago, closing all way to line. Should give another good account. Unlucky when a close third at Bellewstown last week; contender if he gets it right.
7th	3 7th (3) (9/1 +36%) Ostraka	9 9/1(+36%)	(3) Ostraka 9/1, Winner at the Curragh in May. Fifth of 7 in handicap (7/1) at Naas (5.9f, soft) 30 days ago. Still unexposed but needs blinkers to perk her up. No impact after a slow start in a Naas handicap last month; might be best watched for now.
8th	1 8th (1) (16/1 +11%) Mickey The Steel	16 16/1(+11%)	(1) Mickey The Steel 16/1, 14/1, tenth of 13 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Latest effort best excused, so not one to write off completely. Starting to come down the handicap and just 1lb above his last winning mark; not dismissed.
9th	14 9th (14) (5/1 +23%) Linger For Longer	5 5/1(+23%)	(14) Linger For Longer 5/1, 10/1, career best when winning 16-runner handicap at this C&D (good) 40 days ago, responding well. Likely to be on the premises again. Got his head in front at the 19th attempt in a C&D handicap in late July; only up 4lb.

LTO Selection:

WAVE MACHINE is in form, ground-versatile and suited by this distance. Winner of November's Birdcatcher Nursery, she has done well in recent months and is now 4lb lower than when second at Naas last month, with today's rider again claiming 7lb. Polar Bear finished half a length ahead of Tamazu at Bellewstown and the pair meet on similar terms. However, Polar Bear might prefer slightly easier ground, while Tamazu's best form is over five furlongs. Linger For Longer steps up in grade from a recent C&D triumph and while 4lb higher, that is more than offset by her 5lb claimer. Collective Power has been running well under a 7lb claimer recently and is suited by this distance and drying ground.

WAVE MACHINE is handicapped to win and took a step back in the right direction when runner-up at Naas a month ago, so she's worth a chance to go one better for an in-form stable. Linger For Longer and Polar Bear arrive at the top of their game and are also expected to be involved.

The selection is WAVE MACHINE(nap) after three solid efforts on his last three runs and has been given a real chance by the handicapper

18:10 Cork Handicap 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

18:40 Cork Maiden 6f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	3 1st (3) (0.67/1 +55%) Ragga Bomb	0.67 0.67/1(+55%)	(3) Ragga Bomb 0.67/1, Promising sort. 20/1, eighth of 20 in minor event at Naas (5.9f, soft) on debut 30 days ago, never nearer. Open to improvement. Ran well after being hampered in a competitive Naas conditions race on debut.
2	5 2nd (5) (80/1 -60%) Verified	80 80/1(-60%)	(5) Verified 80/1, Once-raced gelding. Fifteenth of 16 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, good, 125/1) on debut 24 days ago. Well beaten on debut and can't be fancied.
3	4 3rd (4) (12/1 +14%) Take Me To Church	12 12/1(+14%)	(4) Take Me To Church 12/1, Foaled March 22. €38,000 2-y-o, Churchill colt. Dam, winner up to 1m (2-y-o 5f winner), half-sister to winner up to 6f Baron's Pit and 6f/7f winner Ice Age (both smart). Cost 38,000euros as a 2yo and from a decent damline; check market.
4	1 4th (1) (1.5/1 -50%) Carnegie Hall	1.5 1.5/1(-50%)	(1) Carnegie Hall 1.5/1, Lightly-raced colt. Sixth of 8 in nursery at the Curragh (7f, good, 5/2) 11 days ago. Has the best form and looks sure to feature. Some fine runs in defeat and probably failed to stay 7f last time; rated 84; big chance.
5th	6 5th (6) (25/1 -79%) Wrestling Revenue	25 25/1(-79%)	(6) Wrestling Revenue 25/1, Twice-raced gelding. 25/1, fourth of 11 in maiden at Naas (5.9f, good) 10 days ago. May do better still, so not a forlorn hope. Improved from debut to run a better race at Naas over this trip; more needed.
6th	2 6th (2) (33/1 +0%) Dabirsim Flyer	33 33/1(+0%)	(2) Dabirsim Flyer 33/1, Twice-raced colt. 100/1, fifth of 12 in maiden at this course (5f, heavy) 19 days ago. Needs to find more. Beaten about 5l over 5f here last time; needs to improve up in trip.

LTO Selection:

RAGGA BOMB was one of just two newcomers to debut in a valuable sales race at Naas last month, but he performed with promise and beat some capable rivals. Slowly away before finishing well, he should progress and will also be better suited by a sounder surface. Carnegie Hall is consistent and experienced, but is vulnerable to progressive types. His course neck defeat by subsequent Listed winner Asean reads very well but he failed to build on that run, although he may have been unsuited by 7f at the Curragh last time. Take Me To Church was a notable 38,000-euro breeze-up purchase in May and could finish third, while Dabirsim Flyer and Wrestling Revenue have ability but need to improve.

RAGGA BOMB acquitted himself well when a staying-on eighth of 20 in a sales race at Naas on debut and, in calmer waters, he can find the requisite improvement to get the better of Carnegie Hall, who sets the standard but is more exposed. Wrestling Revenue is the pick of the remainder.

Having seemingly failed to stay 7f last time, CARNEGIE HALL can get off the mark with a repeat of some of his better earlier runs.

18:40 Cork Maiden 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

19:10 Cork Stakes 7f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (4.5/1 -50%) The Caribbean	4.5 4.5/1(-50%)	(1) The Caribbean 4.5/1, Fairly useful colt. Winner at Fairyhouse in July. 8¼ lengths ninth of 10 to Letsbefrankaboutit in Round Tower Stakes at the Curragh (6f, good, 25/1) 11 days ago. Respected. Fairyhouse maiden winner was second at Naas since; well-held in a Group 3 last time.
2	5 2nd (5) (0.67/1 +59%) Queen Of Thunder	0.67 0.67/1(+59%)	(5) Queen Of Thunder 0.67/1, Promising type. 7/1, third of 13 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, good to soft) on debut 18 days ago, slowly away. Should improve. Slowly away and ran a bit green but showed ability on debut at Curragh; considered.
3	4 3rd (4) (3.33/1 +5%) Perfect Judgement	3.33 3.33/1(+5%)	(4) Perfect Judgement 3.33/1, Promising sort who built on encouraging debut effort when fourth of 23 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, good to soft, 3/1) 17 days ago, running on. Yard in good form. Big player. Was running on over 6f in a Curragh maiden last time; this trip can suit better.
4	2 4th (2) (8.5/1 -21%) Dandy Lichious	8.5 8.5/1(-21%)	(2) Dandy Lichious 8.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 18/1, good fourth of 8 in nursery at the Curragh (7f, good) 11 days ago, never nearer. Enters calculations. Decent 4th in a Curragh nursery over this trip last time; can be thereabouts.

LTO Selection:

QUEEN OF THUNDER caught the eye when slowly away on debut and should better today's unofficial 80 perch. That Curragh introduction was confined to newcomers and while initially asleep in the stalls, she showed ability to get involved. She has notable big-race entries and has a fine pedigree. Dandy Lichious is 3lb wrong at these weights and while 7lb-claimer ridden when running well at the Curragh recently, seems progressive and is suited by good ground and this distance. Maiden winner The Caribbean races in blinkers, has been well held in two stakes races and tries this trip for the first time. Perfect Judgement also steps up to 7f, has run two consistent races and can get involved. Miss Black Jack did really well to finish fourth, having almost jumped a railing mid-race, at Fairyhouse in June but was well held here subsequently, although steps up a furlong. Uncle Albert is 11lb wrong but his rider claims 5lb and he bumped into a subsequent winner at Sligo last month.

There should be more to come from PERFECT JUDGEMENT, who was strong in the market when a good fourth at the Curragh last month. He gets the nod. Queen of Thunder may provide the chief threat.

Having run with promise despite showing her inexperience on debut at the Curragh, QUEEN OF THUNDER could improve enough to score

19:10 Cork Stakes 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION

19:40 Cork Handicap 7f - 25 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	22 1st (22) (10/1 +38%) Han Solo	10 10/1(+38%)	(22) Han Solo 10/1, Course winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2020. Good second of 15 in handicap at Killarney (8.2f, good, 7/1) 49 days ago. Blinkers replace cheekpieces now with tongue tie left off. Was just denied off this mark at Killarney last time over 1m; this trip suits well; player.
2	1 2nd (1) (33/1 -32%) Jered Maddox	33 33/1(-32%)	(1) Jered Maddox 33/1, Thirteenth of 18 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, good, 22/1) 68 days ago. Others more persuasive. A fine fourth at the Curragh in May but below that level twice since and questions.
3	15 3rd (15) (5/1 +64%) Von Krolock	5 5/1(+64%)	(15) Von Krolock 5/1, 20/1, excellent second of 18 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 7 days ago. Trainer going well and a repeat should see him thereabouts again. Went close over this trip on the round course here last time; 2lb higher and go well.
4	11 4th (11) (10/1 +64%) Rose Of Malta	10 10/1(+64%)	(11) Rose Of Malta 10/1, Maiden who stepped up a little on her reappearance effort when eighth of 18 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft, 11/1) 7 days ago. Not taken lightly with her mark easing all the time. Beaten 5l on the round course here last time and down 5lb; needs her best.
5th	18 5th (18) (25/1 +38%) Amemri	25 25/1(+38%)	(18) Amemri 25/1, Latest win at Limerick in June. Sixth of 7 in handicap (13/2) at Ffos Las (7.4f, heavy) 29 days ago. Return to less testing ground could well help now. Consistent enough but disappointed on heavy ground at Ffos Las last time; not ruled out.
6th	24 6th (24) (80/1 +0%) Will Be King	80 80/1(+0%)	(24) Will Be King 80/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2020. Fifteenth of 16 in handicap at Gowran (7f, soft, 80/1) 39 days ago, racing off the pace and never a threat. Well beaten on return in soft ground and this will suit better but work to do.
7th	8 7th (8) (8/1 +60%) Ferrybank	8 8/1(+60%)	(8) Ferrybank 8/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. Seventh of 11 in handicap (4/1) at Leopardstown (7f, good) 13 days ago, doing too much too soon. Had been running well enough in defeat but was below that level at Leopardstown last time.
8th	20 8th (20) (25/1 -14%) Catherine Chroi	25 25/1(-14%)	(20) Catherine Chroi 25/1, Sixteenth of 24 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, soft, 11/1) 30 days ago, driven soon after halfway and making no impression. Back up in trip now. Dropping down the handicap but needs more on recent efforts.
9th	3 9th (3) (18/1 +10%) Gurkha Girl	18 18/1(+10%)	(3) Gurkha Girl 18/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, good neck second of 17 to Trueba in handicap (40/1) at this C&D (good to soft) 7 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Merits consideration. Just denied over this trip on the round course a week ago; looks likely to go well.
10th	26 10th (26) (25/1 +11%) Miss Slovakia	25 25/1(+11%)	(26) Miss Slovakia 25/1, 9/1, thirteenth of 16 in handicap at Gowran (7f, soft) 39 days ago, possibly unsuited by the softer conditions. Previous Fairyhouse second wasn't devoid of promise and she may yet have more to offer. Return to a sound surface can help, so can't be ruled out with a tongue-tie added.
11th	14 11th (14) (25/1 +38%) Tall Story	25 25/1(+38%)	(14) Tall Story 25/1, Remains a maiden after 27 Flat runs. Eighth of 10 in claimer (25/1) at Ballinrobe (9.4f, good to soft) 44 days ago. Back down in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Maiden after 28 starts is difficult to fancy on recent form.
12th	5 12th (5) (80/1 -60%) Golden Warrior	80 80/1(-60%)	(5) Golden Warrior 80/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Last of 15 in handicap (50/1) at Killarney (8.1f, good) 13 days ago, slowly away. Visor on 1st time. Has been beaten a long way on last two starts and the visor needs to work.
13th	28 13th (28) (25/1 -14%) Famous Enough	25 25/1(-14%)	(28) Famous Enough 25/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, ninth of 14 in handicap (16/1) at Roscommon (7.2f, good to soft) 2 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. RESERVE. Has run well enough at times in handicaps and of minor interest; reserve.
14th	19 14th (19) (33/1 +50%) Badinage	33 33/1(+50%)	(19) Badinage 33/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, eleventh of 16 in handicap (22/1) at Fairyhouse (7f, good) 56 days ago. Difficult ask. Officially rated only 42 and isn't easy to make a case for.
15th	25 15th (25) (80/1 -60%) Saoirses Lulaby	80 80/1(-60%)	(25) Saoirses Lulaby 80/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 7 in maiden at Roscommon (7.4f, good to soft, 125/1) 15 days ago. More needed if she's to make an impact now handicapping. Well beaten in three maidens but is worth a market check on handicap debut.
16th	12 16th (12) (16/1 -14%) Cherry Bloom	16 16/1(-14%)	(12) Cherry Bloom 16/1, Latest win at Fairyhouse (6f) in June. Creditable seventh of 24 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, good, 50/1) 10 days ago (second home in group). Won over 6f at Fairyhouse and not a bad run over that trip at Naas last time.
16th	21 16th (21) (33/1 +34%) Cuala Bula	33 33/1(+34%)	(21) Cuala Bula 33/1, 25/1, seventh of 18 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 7 days ago, every chance under 2f out and fading. Eased another 5 lb ahead of this. Maiden has run respectably in defeat at times this year, including here; dropped 5lb.
18th	2 18th (2) (10/1 +0%) Sondheim	10 10/1(+0%)	(2) Sondheim 10/1, C&D winner. 12/1, thirteenth of 19 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, good to soft) 17 days ago, doing too much too soon. Had been knocking on the door previously, including over this C&D and no surprise to see a better showing. Several solid runs in defeat this season but was below his best at the Curragh last time.
19th	6 19th (6) (28/1 -12%) Maid To Shine	28 28/1(-12%)	(6) Maid To Shine 28/1, Winner at Dundalk in February. 22/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at Tipperary (7.4f, good) 63 days ago, never better than midfield. Needs to step up on recent efforts to figure. Dundalk maiden winner in February has generally been below that level since.
20th	4 20th (4) (16/1 -191%) Trueba	16 16/1(-191%)	(4) Trueba 16/1, 9/2, won 17-runner handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 7 days ago by neck from Gurkha Girl, driven out. Remains with handicapping scope but he wouldn't be an obvious follow-up candidate. Won over this trip on the round course a week ago; can run well off the same mark.
21st	23 21st (23) (66/1 +18%) Tijuana	66 66/1(+18%)	(23) Tijuana 66/1, Respectable eleventh of 18 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft, 50/1) 7 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Has work to do. Soundly beaten in maidens and handicaps, so doesn't make much appeal.
22nd	10 22nd (10) (9/1 -80%) She's Local	9 9/1(-80%)	(10) She's Local 9/1, 10/1, good neck third of 17 to Trueba in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 7 days ago, plenty to do entering straight and keeping on well. One to be interested in on the back of that. Close third over this trip on the round course here a week ago; 2lb lower; chance.
23rd	9 23rd (9) (7/1 +0%) Hope And Innocence	7 7/1(+0%)	(9) Hope And Innocence 7/1, Creditable length sixth of 17 to Trueba in handicap at this C&D (good to soft, 6/1) 7 days ago. Trainer going well. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Likely to continue in form. Behind some of these rivals on the round course a week ago and has a squeak off 3lb lower.
24th	16 24th (16) (33/1 +18%) Brookie Cookie	33 33/1(+18%)	(16) Brookie Cookie 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 10/3, creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good to firm) 25 days ago, no extra final 100 yds. Possible she can build on that effort dropped to 7f here. Ran well enough on handicap debut over 1m at Redcar last time, weakened late on.
25th	7 25th (7) (7/1 +0%) Angel's Feather	7 7/1(+0%)	(7) Angel's Feather 7/1, 10/1, respectable sixth of 18 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 7 days ago, never nearer. Appeals as being on a workable mark and less exposed than most she meets here. Not dismissed. Best run was when 2nd over C&D in May; should have improved from run back here last time.

LTO Selection:

Seven of these contested two divisions of a C&D handicap last week and HOPE AND INNOCENCE, drawn on the stands side, might prove best in first-time cheekpieces. Nicely bred, she finished her race strongly behind Trueba and might turn the form around, with Wesley Joyce now claiming 7lb. Trueba's 3lb penalty for winning has been eroded by the handicapper's decision to drop all horses, for inflationary reasons, that same weight in recent days. He beat Gurkha Girl (second) and She's Local (third) last week and each has claims, although the selection might have an ounce more in hand. Von Krolock finished second in last week's other divide (Angel's Feather was sixth and Rose Of Malta was eighth) and while he is a 13-race maiden, has a stands-side draw and is now ridden by a 7lb claimer. Han Solo's best form is over a mile but he ran well at Killarney in July, while Ferrybank will appreciate drying ground. Goldmoyne's jockey reported he hung right on a bend at Leopardstown last month.

SHE'S LOCAL remains a maiden but was deserving of plenty of credit for coming from as far back as she did when third behind Trueba over C&D 7 days ago and she could just be worth chancing to reverse those placings and open her account. Angel's Feather remains less exposed than most and she's another to consider. Aforementioned Trueba and Gurkha Girl complete the shortlist.

Maybe ANGEL'S FEATHER could improve enough from her run on the round course here last time to score.

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.

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.
