9	9 (9) (14/1 +13%) Easy		14 14/1(+13%)																															(9) Easy 14/1, Won first of 2 starts as a juvenile and having missed whole of last year, produced a decidedly useful performance having rejoined present yard when landing 9-runner Cork listed event (6f, heavy) in March. Remains capable of better provided she can stand regular racing. Still unexposed 4yo won well on return in March; quicker ground here.
1	6 1st (6) (10/1 +29%) Mitbaahy		10 10/1(+29%)																															(6) Mitbaahy 10/1, Signed off light campaign last season with a career-best display to land a 6-runner listed race at Chester (6f, heavy) on what was his final run for Roger Varian. Fared best of those from off the pace when fourth in Abernant Stakes on return and drop to 5f possibly against him latest. Strong finisher after slow starts at Newmarket twice of late; not one to rule out.
2	3 2nd (3) (17/2 -42%) Regional		8.5 17/2(-42%)																															(3) Regional 17/2, Took his form to a new level last season, making it 3 wins from 4 starts when taking Group 1 Haydock Sprint Cup in September, by a neck from Shouldvebeenaring. Remains pretty lightly raced as a 6-y-o and conditions in his favour back from 8 months off. Betfair Sprint Cup winner likes it quick; entitled to plenty of respect if rain stays away.
3	8 3rd (8) (80/1 -60%) Ano Syra		80 80/1(-60%)																															(8) Ano Syra 80/1, Useful mare. Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Bit below form 2¼ lengths fourth of 8 to Aesop's Fables in listed race (17/2) at Naas (5f, good to firm) 6 days ago. Likely she'll find a few too good. Recent Navan comeback run okay but surprising if she made an impact back at Group level.
4	1 4th (1) (11/1 -175%) Art Power		11 11/1(-175%)																															(1) Art Power 11/1, Very talented on his day, winning twice over C&D last term (including this race) and signed off with success in Ascot Group 1 on Champions' Day in October, showing a good attitude in the process. Encouraging run when fifth in Group 2 Duke of York 10 days ago and that ought to have put him spot on. Last year's winner loves it here; would prefer an ease in the ground.
5th	13 5th (13) (5/1 +75%) Unequal Love		5 5/1(+75%)																															(13) Unequal Love 5/1, Useful filly who won 4 of her 7 starts as a 3-y-o and proved better than ever to make winning return in listed Chaloner Stakes at Newmarket (6f) 3 weeks ago. Represents top yard and manner of that success suggests she could well have more to offer now upped further in grade. Newmarket Listed winner on the up but much stiffer test here on Group race debut.
6th	7 6th (7) (4/1 +11%) Shouldvebeenaring		4 4/1(+11%)																															(7) Shouldvebeenaring 4/1, Likeable sort who acquitted himself well in Group 1 contests on each of his last 2 starts during the autumn and ran right up to best when second in last week's Duke of York at the Dante Meeting, just failing in a tight finish. Takes his racing well and respected here. Beaten nose at York recently; ground to suit and has to enter calculations.
7th	2 7th (2) (9/1 -80%) Moss Tucker		9 9/1(-80%)																															(2) Moss Tucker 9/1, Smart gelding who won C&D Phoenix Stakes and followed up in Group 1 Flying Five back here in September. Midfield in Prix de L'Abbaye final start but returned as good as ever to land Naas listed race under a penalty 26 days ago. Respected once more. Navan win as good as last year's form; big player though wants an ease in ground.
8th	11 8th (11) (6/1 +20%) Matilda Picotte		6 6/1(+20%)																															(11) Matilda Picotte 6/1, Smart front-running filly who ended last season with back-to-back victories at Doncaster/Newmarket, posting a career-best when landing Group 2 latterly. Creditable fifth behind Annaf in Group 2 at Riyadh in February and she's of interest back on these shores. Ended last season on a high but drop in trip and quicker ground not in her favour here.
9th	4 9th (4) (80/1 -100%) Big Gossey		80 80/1(-100%)																															(4) Big Gossey 80/1, Useful gelding. 3-time C&D winner. Bit below form 5½ lengths sixth of 10 to Moss Tucker in listed race (33/1) at Naas (5f, soft) 26 days ago. Return to this track an obvious plus but he's got his work cut out on these terms back up in grade. Last year's second to Art Power not in the same form so far this season.
10th	10 10th (10) (50/1 +0%) Magical Sunset		50 50/1(+0%)																															(10) Magical Sunset 50/1, Useful filly. Good 3 lengths fourth of 10 to Gregarina in Athasi Stakes at this course (7f, soft, 12/1) 19 days ago, fading final 100 yds. Needs to pull out more if she's to make the breakthrough at this level. Best form at 7f on soft so could struggle to go the pace here.
11th	12 11th (12) (10/1 +17%) Ocean Quest		10 10/1(+17%)																															(12) Ocean Quest 10/1, Smart filly. Course winner. 5/2, creditable 2 lengths second of 10 to Moss Tucker in listed race at Naas (5f, soft) 26 days ago. Likeable filly and each-way claims again for all this is tougher. Second to Moss Tucker on Naas return; extra furlong to suit but has a bit to find.
12th	5 12th (5) (28/1 +15%) Erosandpsyche		28 28/1(+15%)																															(5) Erosandpsyche 28/1, Smart gelding. 22/1, good 3¼ lengths second of 19 in Flying Five Stakes at this course (5f, heavy) in September 2022. Missed whole of last season but returns to action with yard in good form. Absent since Flying Five second here in September 2022.

MOSS TUCKER appeared as good as ever when beating Ocean Quest by two lengths on his reappearance at Naas last month. The Ken Condon-trained gelding won twice here last year and had both Art Power and Ano Syra well behind when recording a memorable Group 1 victory in the Flying Five last September. Regional beat Shouldvebeenaring by a neck in the Group 1 Sprint Cup at Haydock last autumn and it will be interesting to see if the former can continue his progressive profile from last season, while Matilda Picotte was generally campaigned over 7f last term, including a Group 2 win at Newmarket, and was far from disgraced this spring at Riyadh.

Already a 3-time C&D winner, ART POWER ran well on the back of 3 months off when fifth in last week's Duke of York and that ought to have set him up perfectly in his bid to land this for the second consecutive season. Shouldvebeenaring and Matilda Picotte are others to consider, with Moss Tucker and Regional others firmly in the mix.

Rain may not arrive in time for the likes Art Power and Moss Tucker and on quick ground it could pay to side with REGIONAL

3	3 (3) (11/4 +50%) Raise You		2.75 11/4(+50%)																															(3) Raise You 11/4, Smart gelding. Hooded for 1st time, 5¾ lengths fourth of 10 to White Birch in Alleged Stakes at this course (10f, heavy, 10/1) 35 days ago. Took this in 2022 so he's not taken lightly. 2022 winner ran well over inadequate trip on recent comeback; more likely here.
2	2 (2) (28/1 -100%) Gentleman Joe		28 28/1(-100%)																															(2) Gentleman Joe 28/1, Lightly-raced winner on Flat. Fairly useful winner at 16f over hurdles. Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, second of 6 in minor event (25/1) at Dundalk (12f) 50 days ago, having run of race. More is needed now. Promising Flat return at Dundalk but has a bit to find on ratings here.
1	1 1st (1) (11/4 +0%) Candleford		2.75 11/4(+0%)																															(1) Candleford 11/4, Smart gelding. 11/2, 13¼ lengths fifth of 6 to Tregony in listed race at Newmarket (12f, good to firm). Off 7 months. Yard in good form so he's a player. Runs well fresh so lack of a recent run of no concern and likely to have his ground.
2	11 2nd (11) (2/1 +11%) Sumiha		2 2/1(+11%)																															(11) Sumiha 2/1, Debut Curragh 10f winner before excellent ½-length second of 12 to Thunder Roll in listed race at Cork (12.1f, good to soft, 9/2) 29 days ago, finishing well having had to pick way through. Big shout with better to come. Bit unlucky in 1m4f Cork Listed on reappearance; likely more to offer.
3	5 3rd (5) (66/1 -100%) Starry Heavens		66 66/1(-100%)																															(5) Starry Heavens 66/1, Fairly useful filly. Course winner. 18/1, 17 lengths sixth of 9 to Enfranchise in listed race at Gowran (14f, heavy) 17 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Uphill task here, however. Best form at 1m2f; tongue tie now added and will do well to make the frame.
4	10 4th (10) (13/2 +35%) Scarlett O'hara		6.5 13/2(+35%)																															(10) Scarlett O'hara 13/2, Useful filly. C&D winner. 28/1, 11 lengths seventh of 11 to Time Lock in Princess Royal Stakes at Newmarket (12f, good to firm). Off 7 months and needs to hit the ground running. C&D maiden winner and creditable Group 3 form; each-way claims on favoured ground.
5th	9 5th (9) (4/1 +50%) La Isla Mujeres		4 4/1(+50%)																															(9) La Isla Mujeres 4/1, Useful filly. 10/1, creditable 5 lengths fifth of 14 to Sapphire Seas in listed race at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to soft). Off 8 months. First run for yard after leaving Ralph Beckett and not dismissed. Ex Ralph Beckett-trained filly; stiff task on yard debut and seems best with an ease.
6th	7 6th (7) (7/1 +36%) Beechwood		7 7/1(+36%)																															(7) Beechwood 7/1, Lightly-raced winner. Excellent 1¾ lengths fourth of 12 to Thunder Roll in listed race (20/1) at Cork (12.1f, good to soft) 29 days ago. No forlorn hope. Lightly raced 4yo filly still progressing but yet to race on a sound surface.
7th	4 7th (4) (25/1 -150%) Run For Oscar		25 25/1(-150%)																															(4) Run For Oscar 25/1, Smart gelding. 10¼ lengths fifth of 7 to Kyprios in listed race at Navan (14f, good to soft, 66/1) 28 days ago. Not discounted. Prefers a greater stamina test.
8th	8 8th (8) (40/1 -100%) La Filomena		40 40/1(-100%)																															(8) La Filomena 40/1, Useful filly. 3/1, first run since leaving Jean-Claude Rouget when tailed-off last of 7 to Sunchart in listed race at Naas (10.4f, heavy) on IRE debut 62 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Ran no sort of race on yard debut in Naas Listed; tongue tie tried and others preferred.
9th	6 9th (6) (33/1 -32%) Vischio		33 33/1(-32%)																															(6) Vischio 33/1, Useful mare. C&D winner. 12/1, respectable 8 lengths fifth of 9 to Enfranchise in listed race at Gowran (14f, heavy) 17 days ago. Possibilities. C&D Listed winner final start last year but needs to improve on recent efforts.

SUMIHA made a successful debut over 1m2f here last summer and didn't enjoy much lucky in running on her only subsequent outing when reappearing in the Listed Noblesse Stakes at Cork last month. The selection has plenty of scope for improvement and is preferred to Raise You, who has shown a liking for this venue with four wins here and was denied a clear passage when returning after a lengthy absence here last month. Candleford is a solid performer in this grade and carries a 3lb penalty for a Listed win at Windsor last year, while others to consider include Run For Oscar and La Isla Mujeres.

Dermot Weld's lightly-raced Sea The Stars filly SUMIHA looks a very good prospect and is fancied to quickly resume winning ways on the back of her excellent Cork reappearance second. William Haggas' returning Candleford rates the form pick and heads the list of dangers with 2022 victor Raise You and the smart Run For Oscar also well in the mix.

Plenty of positives here for the top-weighted CANDLEFORD (nap) with trip and ground in his favour and who runs well fresh

1	6 1st (6) (Evens +0%) Rosallion		0 Evens(+0%)																															(6) Rosallion Evens, Group 1 winner over 7f at 2 and saw out the mile well when excellent 1½ lengths second of 11 to Notable Speech in 2000 Guineas at Newmarket on reappearance 3 weeks ago. Reopposing stablemate Haatem was 1¾ lengths back in third on that occasion. Hard to beat. Fine second in 2000 Guineas and looks the one to beat as long as the ground stays lively.
2	3 2nd (3) (7/1 -27%) Haatem		7 7/1(-27%)																															(3) Haatem 7/1, Smart effort to win Craven on Newmarket reappearance. Backed that up when 3¼ lengths third of 11 to Notable Speech in 2000 Guineas there but Rosallion was 1¾ lengths ahead in second. Likely to go well but his stablemate may prove too strong again. Third in the 2000 Guineas; has almost 2l to make up on his stablemate Rosallion from then.
3	5 3rd (5) (11/4 +21%) River Tiber		2.75 11/4(+21%)																															(5) River Tiber 11/4, Smart colt. 11/4, creditable 2¼ lengths third of 9 to Vandeek in Middle Park Stakes at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) on final 2-y-o start. Steps up 2f in trip on reappearance. Big player. High-class 2yo is unproven over this trip but still respected as yard's selected runner.
4	8 4th (8) (10/1 -54%) Unquestionable		10 10/1(-54%)																															(8) Unquestionable 10/1, Chased home Rosallion in Longchamp Group 1 last October before ending his 2-y-o campaign with a win in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf at Santa Anita (1m, firm). Thereabouts on form but Ryan Moore seemingly prefers River Tiber. High-class colt has ground to make up on Rosallion from last year; stable second-string.
5th	7 5th (7) (50/1 +24%) Take Me To Church		50 50/1(+24%)																															(7) Take Me To Church 50/1, Useful colt. 2 wins from 3 runs this year. Below form 8½ lengths fourth of 8 to Battle Cry in Leopardstown 2000 Guineas Trial (7f, heavy, 3/1) 48 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere. Below form last time; first time over this trip and has to find a fair bit of improvement.
6th	1 6th (1) (66/1 -65%) Atlantic Coast		66 66/1(-65%)																															(1) Atlantic Coast 66/1, Lightly-raced Group 3 winner. 20¾ lengths seventh of 8 to Battle Cry in Leopardstown 2000 Guineas Trial (7f, heavy, 3/1) on reappearance 48 days ago, finishing tired. Tongue strap reached for after that. Group 3 winner was poor on return and has questions to answer with a tongue-tie on.
7th	4 7th (4) (33/1 -65%) Mountain Bear		33 33/1(-65%)																															(4) Mountain Bear 33/1, Smart colt. Course winner. 223/10, good 1½ lengths second of 11 to stablemate Unquestionable in Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf at Santa Anita (1m, firm) when last seen in November. Ran some fine races in defeat at pattern level last year; a bit to find with some of these.
8th	2 8th (2) (33/1 +34%) Bright Stripes		33 33/1(+34%)																															(2) Bright Stripes 33/1, Useful colt. Career best when winning 5-runner listed race over C&D (soft) 19 days ago by length from Norwalk Havoc, comfortably. Plenty to find at this level, though. Won the Listed Tetrarch Stakes over C&D last time; has to improve a fair bit on that form.

Aidan O'Brien has landed this race on 12 occasions and his three runners are respected on their seasonal reappearances. His UNQUESTIONABLE looks a leading contender after successfully stepping up to 1m in a Grade 1 at the Breeders' Cup in Santa Anita. Richard Hannon's Rosallion sets the standard with a rating of 118 and a runner-up berth in the Qipco 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket. He is by a sprinter, though, and this more galloping track may not be as ideal for him. O'Brien's River Tiber is interesting as he bids to graduate from the sprinting ranks, while Andrew Oliver's Bright Stripes is one that could go better than his odds suggest.

ROSALLION can confirm Newmarket superiority over his stablemate Haatem and land a second Group 1 success of his career. Ryan Moore partners Middle Park third River Tiber and he may prove best of the Ballydoyle trio.

River Tiber is respected but will struggle to contain ROSALLION, who ran a fine second in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket.

9	9 (9) (14/1 -100%) Mr Rango		14 14/1(-100%)																															(9) Mr Rango 14/1, C&D winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, good ¾-length fourth of 16 to Crystal Black in handicap at this course (8f, heavy, 7/2) 35 days ago, well positioned. Back up in trip. Should go well again. C&D winner won well on heavy at Leopardstown and a good fourth here since; best on soft.
2	2 (2) (18/1 -29%) Chally Chute		18 18/1(-29%)																															(2) Chally Chute 18/1, Course winner. 5/2, bit below form 5½ lengths fourth of 11 to Vischio in listed race at this course (12f, heavy), needing stiffer test. Off 6 months. Stays 2m and good efforts over 1m4f when last seen; might find this a bit sharp on return.
6	6 (6) (20/1 +0%) Titanium		20 20/1(+0%)																															(6) Titanium 20/1, 4/10, won 6-runner minor event at Pornichet (8f). Off 6 months. Up in trip. First run for yard after leaving A. & G. Botti. Six wins in France up to 1m1f; of interest on Irish debut and market might help.
13	13 (13) (28/1 +30%) Soaring Monarch		28 28/1(+30%)																															(13) Soaring Monarch 28/1, Twelfth of 13 in handicap at this course (8f, heavy, 33/1). Off 6 months. Back up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Peter Fahey. Inconsistent but useful on his day; below form on heavy when last seen; new yard.

Career best when winning 16-runner handicap (4/1) at this course (8f, heavy) 35 days ago, well positioned. Back up in trip. Can make presence felt. Has won three of last four starts, all here from 1m-1m2f; up another 4lb but respected.
2	7 2nd (7) (13/2 -44%) Deakin		6.5 13/2(-44%)																															(7) Deakin 13/2, Promising type. Career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Thurles (12.5f, soft, evens), easily. Off 7 months. Expected to be bang there. Won a maiden and h'cap last autumn over 1m3f-4f on easy ground; different conditions here.
3	11 3rd (11) (9/4 +44%) Saturn		2.25 9/4(+44%)																															(11) Saturn 9/4, Promising sort. Career best when winning 11-runner handicap (9/4) at Leopardstown (10f, good to firm) 13 days ago, just holding on. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Merits consideration. Won an AW maiden last winter and a Leopardstown h'cap on return; cheekpieces on; a player.
4	4 4th (4) (10/1 +70%) Star Harbour		10 10/1(+70%)																															(4) Star Harbour 10/1, Respectable fourth of 14 in handicap (40/1) at Newcastle (10.2f) 57 days ago. Others more persuasive. Been running well in defeat on AW lately but might be a touch high in the weights.
5th	1 5th (1) (14/1 +30%) Safecracker		14 14/1(+30%)																															(1) Safecracker 14/1, Course winner. 40/1, 8¼ lengths seventh of 8 to Vauban in Ballyroan Stakes at Naas (11.9f, soft). Off 9 months. Beaten 5l in this last year but later won a 1m4f premier h'cap here; tough task on return.
6th	17 6th (17) (28/1 -12%) Solar Breeze		28 28/1(-12%)																															(17) Solar Breeze 28/1, First run since leaving Ms Sheila Lavery when twelfth of 16 in handicap (12/1) at Naas (7f, heavy) 62 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Others have achieved more. AW and turf winner got stuck in the mud at Naas last time but is much better than that.
7th	12 7th (12) (18/1 -13%) Scholarship		18 18/1(-13%)																															(12) Scholarship 18/1, Creditable 2 lengths ninth of 16 to Crystal Black in handicap (11/1) at this course (8f, heavy) 35 days ago.

8th	16 8th (16) (28/1 +58%) Timourid		28 28/1(+58%)																															(16) Timourid 28/1, C&D winner. Pulled up in handicap hurdle (66/1) at Leopardstown (16f, good to soft) 151 days ago. Off 151 days. Fairly useful on the Flat, poor on last Flat outing. Won this race last year off a 1lb higher mark; as to be respected even after an absence.

SAFECRACKER is well versed in high-quality handicaps and holds each-way claims. Johnny Murtagh's charge was unplaced in a Group 3 on soft ground at Naas last summer, but is a different proposition on quick ground at this track. Crystal Black has to be feared having won three of his last four races at this venue. The handicapper has tacked on another 4lb, but he does run this track particularly well. Deakin is one to note up in class after two wide-margin victories at Roscommon and Thurles, while Take Heart and Saturn, who both sport first-time cheekpieces, are other contenders. French-import Titanium is the dark horse in the field.

DEAKIN was most progressive as a 3-y-o, shaping like a smart prospect when easily winning a handicap at Thurles on his final start, so remains one to keep on the right side of this season. Saturn showed a good attitude when making a winning handicap bow at Leopardstown on return 2 weeks ago and this regally-bred colt should have more to offer still, while Crystal Black is another improving sort who's bidding for the hat-trick.

A chance is taken on TIMOURID to follow up his win in this race last year. He is off a 1lb lower mark today and runs well fresh

Up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Not out of things. A 6f maiden winner last year; disappointing on return and is unproven over this trip.
1	2 1st (2) (7/2 +30%) Follow Me		3.5 7/2(+30%)																															(2) Follow Me 7/2, Made winning start for new connections when taking 14-runner maiden at this course (6f, heavy, 22/1) on IRE debut 34 days ago.

2	6 2nd (6) (12/1 -71%) Transcending Glory		12 12/1(-71%)																															(6) Transcending Glory 12/1, 1 win from 1 run this year. Career best when winning 13-runner maiden (9/4) at Dundalk (6f) 43 days ago, running on. Step back up in trip will suit and merits consideration back in handicap company. Got off the mark in a 6f Dundalk maiden; has run well over this trip before; can go well.
3	4 3rd (4) (14/1 +30%) Gunzburg		14 14/1(+30%)																															(4) Gunzburg 14/1, 20/1, first run since leaving P. Twomey when bit below form 5¾ lengths fifth of 13 to Cherry Blossom in listed race at Cork (5.5f, good) 15 days ago. Up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Has work to do. A 5f maiden winner last year was 2nd in a Group 2 over 6f here; unproven over this trip.
4	8 4th (8) (9/1 -80%) Grand City Hall		9 9/1(-80%)																															(8) Grand City Hall 9/1, Found improvement when taking 10-runner maiden at Cork (6f, good, 11/2) on return 15 days ago. Entitled to build on that and looks feasibly treated on handicap bow. Got off the mark in a 6f Cork maiden on return; more needed over this stiff 7f trip.
5th	3 5th (3) (9/1 -38%) Nerano		9 9/1(-38%)																															(3) Nerano 9/1, Improved in each start thus far, latest when second of 3 in minor event at Dundalk (8f) 85 days ago. Likely more to come on handicap debut and merits consideration. A 5l Dundalk maiden winner over 1m ran a fine race again there next time; of interest.
6th	14 6th (14) (14/1 +0%) Auburn Avenue		14 14/1(+0%)																															(14) Auburn Avenue 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time, third of 11 in maiden (20/1) at Naas (8f, good) 14 days ago, never nearer. Makes handicap debut. Likely to improve. Some decent maiden runs but will have to improve from 4lb out of the handicap.
7th	12 7th (12) (22/1 -83%) Uncle Albert		22 22/1(-83%)																															(12) Uncle Albert 22/1, 1 win from 2 runs this year. Winner at Cork in March.

9th	13 9th (13) (7/1 +65%) Neo Smart		7 7/1(+65%)																															(13) Neo Smart 7/1, Winner at Dundalk in November. Creditable sixth of 10 in handicap at Naas (8f, good to firm, 14/1) 6 days ago, not much room. Tongue strap on 1st time. Others more persuasive. Dundalk maiden winner has run well in defeat the last twice but needs to find more.
10th	1 10th (1) (14/1 -65%) Democracy		14 14/1(-65%)																															(1) Democracy 14/1, 8½ lengths last of 7 to Diego Velazquez in Champions Juvenile Stakes (66/1) at Leopardstown (8f, good to firm). Off 8 months. Stable having good spell. Needs a couple of these to falter. A 6f course maiden winner last year showed decent form up to 7f after; respected on return.

12th	5 12th (5) (8/1 -14%) Ragga Bomb		8 8/1(-14%)																															(5) Ragga Bomb 8/1, Thrice-raced winner. 20/1, 5½ lengths seventh of 14 to Mountain Bear in listed race at Dundalk (7f). Off 7 months. May do better on switch to handicapping. Won a 6f Cork maiden last year and unlucky in-running in a Dundalk Listed race over 7f.
13th	10 13th (10) (28/1 +15%) Perfect Judgement		28 28/1(+15%)																															(10) Perfect Judgement 28/1, Winner at Dundalk in January.

The Lyons team have always believed that RAGGA BOMB is a horse for this season and he could be worth chancing on handicap debut. His Cork maiden success has been very well franked by the third home, who is now rated 100. After winning on debut at this racecourse, Democracy kept excellent company last season without being placed and he ought to appreciate this easier assignment. This is Nerano's first try on turf after winning one of his three Dundalk races and the forecast fast ground should be right up his street, being by War Front. Transcending Glory and Grand City Hall arrive in winning form and will have their supporters.

Plenty with claims here including GRAND CITY HALL, who made a winning return at Cork earlier this month and appeals as the type to make his mark in handicaps. Follow Me and Nerano head the list of dangers.

Though NERANO won a Dundalk maiden over this trip, he seemed to be outstayed there next time. This trip could be idea.

Newcomer JAN BRUEGHEL jumps off the page as a brother to Irish Derby winner Sovereign and, notably, he holds an Irish Derby entry in addition to a Group 2 engagement. Ozark Daze caught a tartar when runner-up at Dundalk last month and didn't have the clearest run in fourth over this trip in Cork. His mark of 87 means that he should be involved. Camelot colt Rosso is worth checking for market strength ahead of his debut, while Raydamann makes appeal on breeding and should improve upon an opening eighth-placed finish on testing ground at Leopardstown in October. The in-form Jessica Harrington takes the wraps off Trethorn and a big run wouldn't be surprising.

JAN BRUEGHEL has a very appealing pedigree and is fancied to make a winning start at the possible expense of Ozark Daze, who sets a good standard. Rosso is another interesting newcomer.

With two solid efforts in defeat already this season over this trip under his girth, OZARK DAZE could get the job done today.

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.
