WILLOFTHEPEOPLE shaped nicely on his debut at Down Royal back in June and that form has worked out well. The A'Ali colt stayed on to finish fourth to stablemate Sir Alfie and was only a neck off another Ger Lyons-trained runner, Howd'yadoit, at the line. That horse has won twice since, including taking the valuable Ballyhane Stakes at Naas. Coincidental Glory showed a nice bit of improvement when third on his second outing at Sligo and is another to consider. Of the newcomers, the Joseph O'Brien-trained Mushaffar is one to note in the market. He was a 125,000-euro purchase at the breeze-ups in May.

This looks like a good opportunity for WILLOFTHEPEOPLE to build on a debut fourth in an event well-advertised by stablemate Howd'yadoit

SIR ALFIE doesn't look badly treated off his mark of 85 and Nicola Burns taking 7lb off the top-weight is a big help. The Dark Angel colt won his maiden at Down Royal back in June and that form has worked out well. He has run two solid races since, most recently when third off this figure in a rated contest at Cork. Raphello lost out narrowly in a Sligo maiden 10 days ago and he could be the danger now trying handicap company for the first time. Believe In Glory, third in a maiden over in Beverley last time, is another to consider further down the weights.

A tentative vote goes to MONTE VISTA who is bred to be suited by the step up to 6f in her first handicap.

KANSAS can gain revenge on Jack The Bachelor after chasing him home in Cork just over three weeks ago. The Wootton Bassett colt finished a length-and-a-quarter second then, but he was giving his rival 5lb and they race off levels now. Jack The Bachelor kicked from the front that day and maintained his advantage to the line. He has to be respected again. Ipanema Queen was no match for Havana Anna at Naas but it was a solid run in second and she also has to be on the shortlist, getting a few pounds from the boys.

The consistent Kansas should go close but may not cope with Listed runner-up IPANEMA QUEEN (nap), whose yard is in top form

LOS ANGELES is the class act and it would be a surprise if he got turned over on his return from a little break. The Camelot colt started the season in great form with victories in the Mooresbridge Stakes and Tattersalls Gold Cup. He faded tamely, though, off a strong pace in the Prince Of Wales's at Royal Ascot and bids to bounce back now in lesser company. Zahrann ran really well at Ascot when a staying-on second in the King Edward VII Stakes. This drop in trip probably isn't ideal, but the progressive three-year-old may be the one to give the selection most to do. The consistent Galen should run his race and get in the money.

Three from three at this venue, 2024 Irish Derby winner LOS ANGELES can get his season back on track after a Royal Ascot failure

CHARASSON doesn't look harshly treated trying handicap company for the first time. The Kodiac filly won her maiden over C&D before diving into a Listed affair at Naas. She was far from disgraced when finishing fifth to Sky Majesty and is still open to improvement on just her fourth career outing. Queen Of Mougins was stakes-placed twice for Ralph Beckett last year and is interesting on her first start for Adrian Murray. Heavenly Power was well beaten on his last visit here, but his three track-and-trip triumphs include this race 12 months ago and he could be each-way value.

CHARASSON looked a promising prospect when winning her maiden over C&D and she is bred to be better than her opening mark of 90

PUPPET MASTER is worth another chance, despite only beating one home in the Irish Derby. In rear throughout, the Aidan O'Brien-trained colt could never get competitive but, having looked like a stayer when finding plenty to win the Lingfield Derby Trial, the son of Camelot gives the impression he should be suited to this longer trip. Versatile seven-year-old Absurde looks his main threat. A former Ebor and County Hurdle winner, the Willie Mullins-trained gelding has twice run respectably in the Melbourne Cup. Dallas Star should be suited to dropping back in trip having raced over further of late.

ABSURDE is proven at this trip and the form of his runner-up effort at York has since been well advertised by the winner and the third

York runner-up WITHOUTFURTHERADO can go one better back on home soil. Somewhat unlucky in running when staying on late to finish fifth at Gowran on his previous start, the Arthur Moore-trained gelding looked to appreciate stepping up to a mile on the Knavesmire. Kept at that distance now, the three-year-old seems to be fairly handicapped off just 2lb higher. Auburn Avenue, who took minor honours in a Dundalk maiden last month, should be competitive back in handicap company. Third over C&D earlier in the season, the Phoenix Of Spain filly has every chance for trainer Chris Timmons. Justenzia is worth a market check on her first start for Denis Hogan.

After a good C&D run early in the season, AUBURN AVENUE flopped at Leopardstown but could now be poised to win after a Dundalk second

AMERICAN IN PARIS has strong claims of providing her young apprentice with a second success. A winner on her penultimate appearance at Naas, the Paul Flynn-trained mare is weighted to confirm that form with runner-up Annie Lavinia. Having run a solid race when mid-division at Cork subsequently, the five-year-old might benefit from having 10lb off her back here. Nicely drawn towards the stands rail, the daughter of Starspangledbanner should be a leading player. Annie Lavinia is bidding to follow up a breakthrough win at Naas and, despite having a bit to find with the selection, she should be competitive. Send Harry is an improving three-year-old worth considering.

VON KROLOCK was only beaten 1.25l when third in this last year and he may be able to go two places better off 8lb lower

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.
