LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

BARTON KEY didn't get a straightforward passage when showing promise on debut and might reverse form with New Theory, who was fifth. That form looks quite strong, with the runner-up scoring subsequently, and the selection merits plenty of respect. No Such Thing, whose dam was a winning juvenile, was a 50,000 euros yearling and concedes plenty weight, while Fairhaven is out of a Group 3 winner and is a half-sister to a Listed scorer but similarly has a lot of weight to carry. Gazelle D'or and Gloriously Glam have each shown ability and can progress.

NEW THEORY is worth another chance to confirm debut promise back up in trip. Gazelle d'Or exceeded expectations when second at Naas and must be respected, while No Such Thing looks the pick of the newcomers before market clues.

After finishing an excellent second behind Camille Pissarro at Navan, NEW THEORY is the one to beat after another good run at Cork

APRICOT ICE drops to this distance for the first time but her form is strong. Unplaced at Listed level last September, she has finished second to three capable Ballydoyle horses in maidens and can could go well once again. Ebanza threw away victory by hanging left at Gowran and she drops a furlong in distance. Emerald Banner is rated 85 and is well suited by this distance, but carried a first-time tongue-tie when beaten at Cork and now cheekpieces are also applied.

Plenty to consider with the form pick APRICOT ICE bound to be in the mix again down in trip. Emerald Banner and Ebanza head the dangers.

Preference is for EMERALD BANNER who was only just touched off on return and cheekpieces may help her get her head in front

DANCE NIGHT ANDDAY showed improved form on her return to 6f when winning at Naas and might defy an 8lb rise. Well suited by good ground, she met some traffic two furlongs out that day but finished strongly and won snugly. Transcendental won over five furlongs at Navan last month but is also effective over six and, while raised 7lb, was initially rated 83 when arriving in Ireland in 2022. Back Down Under might appreciate stepping back up in distance, having finishing second in the Birdcatcher last October.

DANCE NIGHT ANDDAY was progressive on the whole last season and produced a career best when making a winning return at Naas 2 weeks ago so remains of plenty of interest. Transcendental also make a winning return when beating 20 rivals at Navan and is next best ahead of Screen Siren.

Despite being a maiden after 10 starts, BACK DOWN UNDER(nap) has run with credit in defeat and can get off the mark in handicap company

Info	Form	Odds
1	10 1st (10) (11/4 +8%) Super Sox	2.75 11/4(+8%)	(10) Super Sox 11/4, Promising sort. 13/8, second of 18 in maiden at Cork (8f, good to soft) 28 days ago, quickening clear 2f out and worn down well inside final 1f. Return to 7f will help on that evidence and she's the type to do better again with that in mind. Two promising efforts in maidens and drop in trip promises to suit; should be thereabouts.
2	3 2nd (3) (5/4 -14%) Galen	1.25 5/4(-14%)	(3) Galen 5/4, Promising sort. 12/1, second of 13 behind City Of Troy in maiden at this C&D (good) on debut in July, the only one to make up any ground from off the pace. Looks sure to improve and high on shortlist. 2.25l second to City Of Troy on debut over C&D 328 days ago; off since; big shout.
3	4 3rd (4) (10/3 -67%) Kortez Bay	3.333333 10/3(-67%)	(4) Kortez Bay 10/3, Fairly useful colt. Remains a maiden after 7 Flat runs. Good second of 14 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, good, 10/3) 13 days ago. Had more chances than most but he looks sure to play a part again. Promising runs in maiden; runner-up on handicap debut at Naas 13 days ago; leading player.
4	2 4th (2) (16/1 +20%) Balyan	16 16/1(+20%)	(2) Balyan 16/1, Wootton Bassett colt. Dam, 6f/7f winner, half-sister to useful 7.4f winner Baraniya out of useful 2-y-o 7f winner Balansiya. Betting should prove an informative guide ahead of debut. Wootton Bassett colt; half-sister to Listed-placed 7f winner; market clues essential.
5th	6 5th (6) (125/1 -594%) Prince Of Eyeries	125 125/1(-594%)	(6) Prince Of Eyeries 125/1, Once-raced gelding. 13/2, fourth of 5 in maiden at Killarney (8.1f, soft) on debut 10 days ago. Possibly one for handicaps further down the line. Beaten 8.5l into fourth on debut at Killarney; drops in trip and big step forward needed.
6th	5 6th (5) (9/1 +73%) Polaris Dancer	9 9/1(+73%)	(5) Polaris Dancer 9/1, 100,000 gns yearling, Sea The Stars gelding. Dam, 6f/7f winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 1½m Anhar. 100,000gns Sea The Star yearling; dam 6f/7f winner; likely type but tough ask on debut.
7th	8 7th (8) (50/1 -150%) Duchess Wannabe	50 50/1(-150%)	(8) Duchess Wannabe 50/1, Camelot filly. Sister to smart 1m/9f winner Lady Wannabe and half-sister to 12.5f winner Propriety and smart 1¼m/11f winner Higher Truth. The betting should reveal some clues on debut. Camelot filly; sister to smart Group performers up to 1m3f; market support significant.
8th	9 8th (9) (200/1 -300%) Never Thought	200 200/1(-300%)	(9) Never Thought 200/1, Buratino filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful 2-y-o 5f-6f winner Rockin Roy and winner up to 6f Flying Bear. Dam 5f/6f winner. Buratino filly; half-sister to three winners; dam 5f/6f winner; yard in excellent form.
9th	1 9th (1) (250/1 -213%) Golden Goose	250 250/1(-213%)	(1) Golden Goose 250/1, Twice-raced gelding. 250/1, eighth of 11 in maiden at Cork (10.2f, good to soft) 28 days ago, merely closing up late. Significantly down in trip. Well held in two maidens and needs to improve markedly for the step back to 7f to figure.
10th	7 10th (7) (200/1 -150%) The Real Screamer	200 200/1(-150%)	(7) The Real Screamer 200/1, €32,000 yearling, Awtaad gelding. Dam, 7f-1¼m winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 1¼m (stayed 1½m) Turret Rocks. Likely best watched on debut. Awtaad 32,000Euros as a yearling; half-sister to two winners 11.5f-1m2f; gelded for debut.

GALEN chased home top juvenile City Of Troy on their respective debuts over course and distance last July and makes his return possessing notable St James's Palace Stakes and Irish Derby entries. He shaped really well that day and while the other beaten horses haven't as yet shown any star qualities, the well-held third and fifth have scored subsequently. Kortez Bay is a reliable 85-rated performer but could find the selection too strong, while Super Sox has also shown plenty ability but also needs to improve to win. Balyan is a newcomer to note.

GALEN shaped with plenty of promise (only one to make up any ground from off the pace) when finishing runner-up to City of Troy in a C&D maiden on debut 10 months ago and, sure to improve, he gets the nod to make a winning return. Kortez Bay is firmly knocking on the door and is a lead threat, along with Super Sox who also promises to do better again.

It may pay to side with SUPER SOX who should appreciate this drop back to 7f after finishing runner-up to Sharinay at Cork

Info	Form	Odds
10	10 (10) (11/1 -22%) Verhoyen	11 11/1(-22%)	(10) Verhoyen 11/1, 3-time C&D winner. Twelfth of 14 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, soft, 40/1) 25 days ago, pushed along 2f out and never a threat. Handicapper has relinquished his grip further and worth noting he's won this race the last 2 years. Better showing anticipated. Three-time C&D winner; needs revival having not landed a blow in four starts this term.
8	8 (8) (14/1 -17%) Dagoda	14 14/1(-17%)	(8) Dagoda 14/1, C&D winner. 11/1, tenth of 14 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, soft) 25 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. C&D winner; excellent return here last month when 4th; not so good lto but can't dismiss.
1	2 1st (2) (10/1 +17%) Hurricane Ivor	10 10/1(+17%)	(2) Hurricane Ivor 10/1, Course winner. 16/1, below form tenth of 16 in handicap at Naas (7f, heavy) 61 days ago, weakening over 1f out. Others rate stronger. Course winner over 6f last season; out of form lately but dropped plenty in the handicap.
2	9 2nd (9) (9/2 +10%) Pinar Del Rio	4.5 9/2(+10%)	(9) Pinar Del Rio 9/2, Course winner. 2 wins from 3 runs this year. Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Limerick (6.7f, soft, 9/4) 8 days ago, always holding on. Getting better with each recent run and hard to rule out another bold showing in this groove. Returned in excellent form, landing h'caps last twice; 9lb higher mark requires more.
3	6 3rd (6) (6/1 +20%) Tough Talk	6 6/1(+20%)	(6) Tough Talk 6/1, Course winner. Bit below form fifth of 14 in handicap (11/2) at Naas (5.9f, soft) 25 days ago, not ideally placed. Yard having good spell and remains sufficiently lightly raced to think there could be more to come. Won maiden here and good runs when fifth in pair of 6f h'caps last twice; steps up in trip.
4	4 4th (4) (18/1 -29%) Physique	18 18/1(-29%)	(4) Physique 18/1, Bit below form ninth of 15 in handicap at Cork (7f, good, 66/1) 14 days ago. Hood on 1st time. Fared better on second start for yard at Cork fortnight ago; dropped 3lb and needs more.
5th	12 5th (12) (9/2 +36%) Expressova	4.5 9/2(+36%)	(12) Expressova 9/2, First run since leaving Ms Sheila Lavery when 7/2 and hooded for 1st time, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Gowran (7f, soft) 30 days ago, cosily. 8 lb rise may not be enough to prevent her following up. Successful yard debut at Gowran, winning by 0.75l; 8lb rise makes things tough but claims.
5th	14 5th (14) (20/1 -25%) Ice Cold In Alex	20 20/1(-25%)	(14) Ice Cold In Alex 20/1, 4-time course winner. Twelfth of 17 in handicap at Leopardstown (7.3f, good to firm, 33/1) in September. Has gone well fresh in the past but the betting may prove a good guide as to expectations back from 8 months off. Two-time C&D winner but not the force of old last season; needs revival after 258 days off.
7th	13 7th (13) (9/1 -20%) Blanc De Noir	9 9/1(-20%)	(13) Blanc De Noir 9/1, First run since leaving Mrs J. Harrington/off 11 months off when fifth of 14 in handicap (10/1) at Navan (5f, good) 6 days ago, having to pick way through and keeping on. Returns to scene of sole previous success and he's still unexposed at 7f. Shaped well after 10 months off for new yard when fifth at Navan; chance with improvement.
8th	7 8th (7) (17/2 +61%) Benavente	8.5 17/2(+61%)	(7) Benavente 17/2, Latest win at Southwell in February. Respectable second of 12 in handicap (10/3) at Chelmsford City (7f) 41 days ago. Present mark demands that bit more returned to turf. Excellent runs on AW in Britain, particularly lto at Chelmsford; seems well-handicapped.
9th	11 9th (11) (25/1 +0%) Volatile Analyst	25 25/1(+0%)	(11) Volatile Analyst 25/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. 40/1, bit below form eighth of 15 in handicap at Cork (7f, good) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. On a long losing run but consistent on AW; reasonable run at Cork lto, dropped 2lb.
10th	3 10th (3) (25/1 -213%) Genuine Article	25 25/1(-213%)	(3) Genuine Article 25/1, 5/1, first run since leaving D. K. Weld/after 7 months off when tenth of 12 in handicap at Naas (8f, good to firm) 5 days ago, held up and never involved. This should reveal more. Second in 1m2f h'cap here last season; below form stable debut 5 days ago; drops in trip.
11th	5 11th (5) (8/1 +6%) Pier Pressure	8 8/1(+6%)	(5) Pier Pressure 8/1, Latest win at Dundalk (7f) in November. Very good second of 9 in handicap back at that venue (7f, 5/2) a month later. Improved plenty for the application of blinkers last year and not out of things from revised mark. Denied three-timer on AW by a head in December; up 2lb back on turf; 156 days off; player.
12th	1 12th (1) (66/1 -164%) New Definition	66 66/1(-164%)	(1) New Definition 66/1, Dual AW winner for James Tate but yet to scale same heights in 2 starts on turf upon joining present yard. Steps back up in trip but good deal to prove at present. No impact In Ireland in two starts over 5f; step up in trip should suit but plenty to find.
13th	15 13th (15) (40/1 -21%) Rumbled Again	40 40/1(-21%)	(15) Rumbled Again 40/1, 22/1, first run since leaving Darren Bunyan when below form eighth of 13 in handicap at Naas (5f, good) 13 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Gowran h'cap winner 12 months ago; out of form three starts this season; up in trip.
14th	16 14th (16) (17/2 +47%) Secret Magician	8.5 17/2(+47%)	(16) Secret Magician 17/2, Course winner. 11/2, seventeenth of 20 in handicap at this C&D (soft) 18 days ago, going off too hard. Mark is easing all the time but both his career victories have come at 6f. Two-time course winner; disappointing 17th of 20 lto; well-handicapped on best form.

PIER PRESSURE has an excellent all-weather record but might now successfully revert to turf. His initial maiden tries were on grass and while his Dundalk record is much better, he might merely have matured last winter and, being unexposed, it is notable he reappears on a big weekend. Benavente is himself a capable all-weather performer and also reverts to turf. He can be forgiven some of his early career runs on unsuitably soft ground and being race-fit is a positive. Expressova is progressing well and won in a first-time hood last month, although is now 8lb higher.

EXPRESSOVA showed improved form when making a winning return/yard debut at Gowran 4 weeks ago and the manner of that success suggests an 8 lb rise in the weights may not prevent Joseph O'Brien's filly going close again. Pier Pressure, and Verhoyen, who has landed the last 2 renewals of this race, are feared. Pinar del Rio and Blanc de Noir complete the shortlist.

After a couple of excellent efforts in Britain on the AW, BENAVENTE makes plenty of appeal off a mark of 81

Info	Form	Odds
6	6 (6) (20/1 -100%) Shayzann	20 20/1(-100%)	(6) Shayzann 20/1, Lightly-raced winner. 33/1, 9 lengths tenth of 13 to Piz Badile in Diamond Stakes at Dundalk (10.7f). Off 7 months/subsequently gelded and market confidence behind him would look significant on handicap debut. Improved from debut to win Naas maiden before 2 fair runs at Pattern level; may need this.
1	13 1st (13) (11/2 +50%) State Actor	5.5 11/2(+50%)	(13) State Actor 11/2, Raven's Pass gelding who cemented positive start made to career when winning 23-runner maiden at this C&D (heavy) 34 days ago, getting first run. Makes handicap debut. Progressive form figures/RPRs and off the mark in C&D maiden latest; better ground fine.
2	12 2nd (12) (9/1 +25%) Kayhana	9 9/1(+25%)	(12) Kayhana 9/1, Good third of 17 in handicap at Leopardstown (7.3f, good to firm, 12/1). Off 8 months. Stable having good spell. Not taken lightly. Won Limerick maiden on debut in 2022; good runs at back-end of 2023; respected on return.
3	9 3rd (9) (6/1 +14%) Cheers Again	6 6/1(+14%)	(9) Cheers Again 6/1, Latest win at Dundalk in December. Good third of 15 in handicap (11/1) at Cork (7f, good) 14 days ago, running on. Others more persuasive. 3 wins on AW; 0-10 on turf but run some big races in defeat; career high mark though.
4	10 4th (10) (12/1 -20%) Casanova	12 12/1(-20%)	(10) Casanova 12/1, Twenty nine runs since last win in 2021. Creditable third of 16 in handicap at this C&D (heavy, 11/1) 34 days ago, nearest finish. Merits consideration. Losing run since 2021; fine with cut in ground and on a good mark; close C&D 3rd latest.
5th	4 5th (4) (9/1 +10%) Blues Emperor	9 9/1(+10%)	(4) Blues Emperor 9/1, Winner of 2 1m handicaps last summer prior to an excellent second of 20 in the Irish Cambridgeshire here in August. Seemingly not 100% when well beaten in Lincoln on return at Doncaster (1m, heavy) in March but capable of bouncing back. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Goes well here; won over C&D last season and should appreciate return to quicker ground.
6th	1 6th (1) (11/1 -22%) Dunum	11 11/1(-22%)	(1) Dunum 11/1, Course winner. Six wins from 21 Flat runs. Well-beaten last of 10 to Snapraeterea in Concorde Stakes at Tipperary (7.4f, heavy, 5/2). Operating from career-high mark on return but worth noting he boasts a good record fresh. Highly progressive in last 2 years; career high mark now but won last 2 seasonal returns.
7th	8 7th (8) (14/1 +0%) Karsavina	14 14/1(+0%)	(8) Karsavina 14/1, 21/10, below form fifth of 13 in minor event at Pornichet (10.4f). Off 149 days. Back down in trip. First run for yard after leaving N. Clement and would be very interesting if the market spoke in her favour. 4th in Nell Gwyn last year; sold for 110,000gns and back on a good mark if ready on return.
8th	3 8th (3) (33/1 +0%) Fiscal Rules	33 33/1(+0%)	(3) Fiscal Rules 33/1, 4½ lengths last of 5 to Bold Discovery in Amethyst Stakes at Leopardstown (8f, good to firm, 11/2) 12 days ago. Others more persuasive. Only win came in Cork maiden in 2020; tough mark after 5th of 5 in Leopardstown Gr3 latest.
9th	5 9th (5) (50/1 -25%) Hightimeyouwon	50 50/1(-25%)	(5) Hightimeyouwon 50/1, Latest win at Dundalk in March. Eleventh of 15 in handicap at Cork (7f, good, 33/1) 14 days ago, no room 2f out before keeping on final 100 yds. Back to something like his best last year and won on AW in March but tough mark now.
10th	2 10th (2) (13/2 -30%) Chazzesmee	6.5 13/2(-30%)	(2) Chazzesmee 13/2, Low-mileage 6-y-o who improved again to justify strong market support in C&D Irish Lincolnshire in March. 5/2, may have found race coming too soon when fifth of 20 in Lincoln at Doncaster (1m) 5 days later and better showing anticipated after a break. Only 6 runs since 2022 incl' C&D Irish Lincolnshire; excuse in Lincoln since; shortlisted.
11th	7 11th (7) (6/1 +0%) Rahmi	6 6/1(+0%)	(7) Rahmi 6/1, 15/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, stepped up markedly on comeback run when creditable second of 15 in handicap at Cork (7f, good) 14 days ago, no match for winner. Can give a good account again. Won this race last year; good return run over 7f and should appreciate return to this C&D.
12th	15 12th (15) (9/1 +10%) Tosen Wish	9 9/1(+10%)	(15) Tosen Wish 9/1, 4/1, sharper for his reappearance run when respectable fifth of 15 in handicap at Cork (7f, good) 14 days ago, rallying close home. Mark has eased a little more and rider takes off a handy 3 lb. Behind a few of these at Cork latest; step back up in trip fine and hard to rule out.
13th	11 13th (11) (25/1 +38%) Grey Leader	25 25/1(+38%)	(11) Grey Leader 25/1, Had a highly-productive first season, winning 3 of his 5 starts at up to 1m in maiden/minor company. Not figured in pair of handicaps upon returning this term though, and others make more appeal at present. Won 3 last term incl' twice at this trip; handles this ground and workable mark.
14th	14 14th (14) (16/1 +11%) Current Option	16 16/1(+11%)	(14) Current Option 16/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. Bounced back to form returned to a sound surface when fourth of 15 in handicap at Cork (7f, good, 28/1) 14 days ago. Booking of Foley a plus but his last 2 victories have come at Galway. Losing run but signs of revival when 4th behind 2 of these latest; lowest mark since 2019.

KAYHANA is likely to have been readied for this initial starting point all winter. A debut winner last June and well suited by good ground, she ran well in a similar handicap on Champions Weekend last September, with today's distance likely to suit better. Karsavina debuts for new connections having been bought for 110,000gns last October and had useful form when trained in the UK and, briefly, in France. She contested last year's 1000 Guineas and having been beaten on her recent runs, including twice in France last December, has been dropped 2lb. Chazzesmee's best results have been achieved on easy ground, including a Lincoln win in March, but he was placed in a big handicap on good ground last July.

Typically competitive fare with the narrow vote in favour of CASANOVA. His losing run understandably tempers enthusiasm but he went agonisingly close to bucking that trend from his much-reduced mark when third over C&D 5 weeks ago and this could be the day he puts it all together again. Blues Emperor seemingly wasn't 100% in the Lincoln in March and he can bounce back. Chazzesmee and Shayzann are others to note.

The lighly raced STATE ACTOR could be the way to go after his recent C&D maiden success and that form is already working out

16th	9 16th (9) (25/1 -108%) Pink Sorrel	25 25/1(-108%)	(9) Pink Sorrel 25/1, Course winner. Creditable second of 11 in handicap at Dundalk (7f, 22/1). Off 7 months. Needs a couple of these to falter. Won maiden over 1m here last year; struggled on sole run at this trip; likely to need this.
17th	2 17th (2) (14/1 -133%) Laugh A Minute	14 14/1(-133%)	(2) Laugh A Minute 14/1, Course winner. Latest win at Naas in April. 2/1, third of 4 in minor event at Gowran (7f, heavy) 15 days ago. 3-time 5f course winner; 6f wins elsewhere including Naas 2 starts ago; mark on tough side.

HEAVENLY POWER was well held on his recent reappearance run but had useful form last year. He might ideally prefer a little ease in the ground but two of his three wins have come over today's C&D and he should compete. The lightly-raced Coeur d'Or broke his maiden tag as a six-year-old at Laytown but finally came good last year and while he is a capable performer in big handicaps, dropping to this distance isn't ideal. Lady Tilbury debuts for new connections having been bought for 150,000gns last December. She has done most of her racing over five furlongs and, stepping up in trip and running in a first-time tongue-tie, is a notable contender.

It could be worth chancing HEAVENLY POWER, who performed well here on several occasions last season and he is entitled to come on for his C&D reappearance spin. Dandyville is feared most ahead of the selection's stablemate Jon Riggens and Laugh A Minute.

HEAVENLY POWER is a dual C&D winner who could go well from this sort of mark and he should leave last month's return behind

GLOBAL ENERGY has been running well recently and while much of his best form is on an easy surface, he ran well on good ground last time at Leopardstown. He has dropped back in distance in recent times and having won on heavy over a mile in March, has competed well twice subsequently, suggesting he should again get involved at the business end. Ferrybank has also done well in recent months and while much of that form was on the all-weather, he reverted to turf when also running well at Leopardstown last week. He is 3lb higher but should again prove competitive. Karlsberg can cope with a 7lb hike for winning at Cork last month, but needs soft ground.

The vote goes to PASSIONATE, who opened her account in good style at Killarney recently and a 13 lb rise may not be enought to prevent her from going in again. Karlsberg got his head back in front at Cork and looks set for another prominent showing, while the in-form Ferrybank is also shortlisted, along with Brains.

FERRYBANK ought to run well again after a narrow defeat back on turf last week and he's still feasibly treated

About U.K Horse Racing

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.
