1	4 1st (4) (2/1 +33%) Letsbefrankaboutit		2 2/1(+33%)																															(4) Letsbefrankaboutit 2/1, €40,000 yearling, €240,000 2-y-o. Half-brother to 3 winners, including Moojim (2-y-o 5f winner) and 2-y-o 5f winner Lady Ayresome. 11/8 and tongue strap on, very promising third of 16 in C&D maiden (good) on debut 13 days ago, first home in group. Good prospect, sure to improve. Leading claims. Best of nine in near-side group when third on debut in C&D maiden, winners preferred.
2	5 2nd (5) (7.5/1 +6%) Mansa Musa		7.5 7.5/1(+6%)																															(5) Mansa Musa 7.5/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, won 13-runner maiden at Goodwood (6f, good to soft, 20/1) 25 days ago, showing a good attitude. More needed again raised in grade but could be up to it. Sixth behind Buyin Buyin on debut, excellent winning effort at Goodwood with tongue-tie.
3	2 3rd (2) (12/1 +14%) Chandigah		12 12/1(+14%)																															(2) Chandigah 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Good second of 15 in maiden (13/2) at this C&D (good) 14 days ago, no match for winner (good second in Thursday's Lowther). This is tougher. Still a maiden, twice runner-up at this venue, likely to find a few too good at this level.
4	6 4th (6) (2.5/1 +9%) Mountain Bear		2.5 2.5/1(+9%)																															(6) Mountain Bear 2.5/1, C&D winner in June. 11/1, good 1¼ lengths third of 9 to Haatem in Vintage Stakes at Goodwood (7f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Plenty about him and obvious chance here for all he'll want further in time. Beat Chandigah in C&D maiden, good third on the more recent of two Group 2 runs in Britain.
5th	10 5th (10) (5/1 -25%) Do It With Style		5 5/1(-25%)																															(10) Do It With Style 5/1, C&D winner. Very good 2 lengths third of 8 to Kairyu in Anglesey Stakes at this course (6.3f, soft, 14/1) 35 days ago, running on. Got to be respected. Three runs at Pattern level since debut C&D win, solid chance judged on Anglesey third.
6th	1 6th (1) (10/1 -25%) Buyin Buyin		10 10/1(-25%)																															(1) Buyin Buyin 10/1, Lightly-raced winner. 2 wins from 4 runs this year. 12 lengths seventh of 8 to Kairyu in Anglesey Stakes at this course (6.3f, soft, 11/2) 35 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Two wins, found things too demanding in the Group 3 Anglesey Stakes here five weeks ago.
7th	9 7th (9) (28/1 -75%) Bella Colombia		28 28/1(-75%)																															(9) Bella Colombia 28/1, Won 12-runner maiden (25/1) at Dundalk (6f) on debut 11 days ago, overcoming inexperience. This is a big step up but she's open to improvement. Looked raw but still managed to win on debut at Dundalk, faces a quick rise in class.
8th	7 8th (7) (50/1 -79%) Sturlasson		50 50/1(-79%)																															(7) Sturlasson 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 2¾ lengths sixth of 9 to Asean in listed race at this course (5f, good to soft, 40/1) 6 days ago, running on. No improvement since second here in March on debut, behind G'Day Mate here last Saturday.
9th	8 9th (8) (25/1 -56%) The Caribbean		25 25/1(-56%)																															(8) The Caribbean 25/1, Winner at Fairyhouse in July. 4/5, second of 4 in minor event at Naas (5f, soft) 19 days ago. Mountain Bear stronger of the Ballydoyle pair. Struggled in the Anglesey Stakes, officially rated 16lb behind stablemate Mountain Bear.
10th	3 10th (3) (18/1 -80%) G'day Mate		18 18/1(-80%)																															(3) G'day Mate 18/1, Thrice-raced winner. 2¼ lengths fifth of 9 to Asean in listed race (9/1) at this course (5f, good to soft) 6 days ago. 6f will suit and he could go well. Won a 5f Bellewstown maiden, found wanting in a 5f Listed race here last Sunday.

LTO Selection:

Aidan O'Brien has a tremendous record in this race, winning five of the last 10 renewals, and MOUNTAIN BEAR looks the clear pick of his duo this time around. A C&D maiden winner, he left behind a moderate effort in the July Stakes at Newmarket when a good third in the Group 2 7f Vintage Stakes at Glorious Goodwood and shaped as though he will relish the return to this trip now eased in class. He is just preferred to Letsbefrankaboutit, who represents last year's winning trainer/jockey combination and the speedily-bred Sioux Nation colt should have more to offer after shaping with plenty of promise in third on his recent introduction over this track and trip. G'day Mate and Do It With Style are also in with a shout.

LETSBEFRANKABOUTIT was a real eye-catcher on his recent debut here, sent off favourite and winning the race on his side by a big margin. He's sure to progress and could improve past Vintage third Mountain Bear and open his account. G'Day Mate and Do it With Style are respected also.

Having picked up useful experience in contesting two Group 2 races in Britain, MOUNTAIN BEAR may have the winning of this

4	4 (4) (3.5/1 +46%) Indian Wish		3.5 3.5/1(+46%)																															(4) Indian Wish 3.5/1, Useful filly. 15/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 11-runner listed race at Killarney (8.2f, good) 38 days ago by 1¾ lengths from Unless. The form pick. Beat the consistent Unless in a Killarney Listed race, helps to give trainer a strong hand.
3	3 (3) (14/1 -65%) Giladah		14 14/1(-65%)																															(3) Giladah 14/1, Useful filly. 5/1, 2¾ lengths sixth of 8 to Salt Lake City in listed race at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft) 2 days ago. Yard in good form, so not discounted. Held by Village Voice on Gowran running, sixth at Killarney on Thursday.
1	9 1st (9) (14/1 -56%) Red Riding Hood		14 14/1(-56%)																															(9) Red Riding Hood 14/1, Useful filly. 6¾ lengths ninth of 14 to Unless in listed race at this course (10f, good, 14/1) 13 days ago, left poorly placed. Trainer going well. Tongue strap on 1st time and not ruled out. Has been running over longer distances and has failed to prosper in stakes races lately.
2	6 2nd (6) (2.25/1 +50%) American Sonja		2.25 2.25/1(+50%)																															(6) American Sonja 2.25/1, Useful filly. Course winner. Good 3¼ lengths second of 10 to Elusive Princess in Grade 3 Saratoga Oaks at Saratoga (9.5f, soft, 95/10) 22 days ago. Yard in good form. Enters calculations. Listed winner in France in June, holding her form well in races at Fairyhouse and Saratoga.
3	8 3rd (8) (8/1 -23%) Mashia		8 8/1(-23%)																															(8) Mashia 8/1, Twice-raced winner. Winner at Naas in May. Very good second of 4 in minor event (10/11) at Gowran (9.4f, good to soft). Off 95 days. Yard in good form. Should progress further. In the picture. Beat a good yardstick on debut in a Naas maiden, second to a useful older filly at Gowran.
4	10 4th (10) (5/1 -25%) Snowcapped		5 5/1(-25%)																															(10) Snowcapped 5/1, Lightly-raced winner. Course winner. 2 wins from 4 runs this year. 6/1, good 1½ lengths third of 9 to Library in listed race at Naas (10f, good to firm) 59 days ago, never nearer. Yard in good form. Shortlisted. Progressive in handicaps and third in a Listed race last time, second-sting for stable.
5th	1 5th (1) (5/1 -11%) Cigamia		5 5/1(-11%)																															(1) Cigamia 5/1, Useful filly. Creditable 2½ lengths second of 8 to Zarinsk in Brownstown Stakes (9/2) at Fairyhouse (7f, good) 45 days ago. Back up in trip. Needs considering. Every chance on the basis of two seconds this season, in front of American Sonja last time.
6th	2 6th (2) (40/1 +0%) Flame Of Eire		40 40/1(+0%)																															(2) Flame Of Eire 40/1, Useful filly. 7 lengths last of 7 to Moon De Vega in listed race (20/1) at Leopardstown (9f, good) 79 days ago. Can give a good account. Won four handicaps in a row last year and ended with Listed fourth, progress has stalled.
7th	7 7th (7) (20/1 +9%) Dame Kiri		20 20/1(+9%)																															(7) Dame Kiri 20/1, Fairly useful filly. 6 lengths fifth of 8 to Zarinsk in Brownstown Stakes at Fairyhouse (7f, good, 22/1) 45 days ago. Back up in trip. Yard in good form. Blinkers on 1st time so she's no forlorn hope. Wide-margin 6f maiden winner at two, limitations have been exposed this season.
8th	5 8th (5) (150/1 -88%) Pale Iris		150 150/1(-88%)																															(5) Pale Iris 150/1, Fairly useful mare. Course winner. 80/1, 7¾ lengths last of 14 to Unless in listed race at this course (10f, good) 13 days ago. Trainer going well but she's very hard to make a case for. Two wins were in handicaps in 2021, rated 90 at her peak, now 82 and likely to struggle.

LTO Selection:

Village Voice was deemed good enough for the Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot and has since performed well for the silver medal at this level at Gowran Park. There is a lot to like about this filly but, on the basis that her two wins have come on soft and heavy ground, she might just struggle on this livelier surface and preference is for AMERICAN SONJA. She is a model of consistency, a course scorer and has produced a couple of taking performances overseas this year. Indian Wish, Mashia and Cigamia are others to take seriously.

Joseph O'Brien could hold sway in this Group 3 with INDIAN WISH looking the way to go on the back of her career-best Killarney listed success. Stable companion American Sonja can boast course-winning form and is next on the list ahead of in-form pair Village Voice and Mashia.

On the balance of form, AMERICAN SONJA has sound prospects of reversing the form of a 7f Fairyhouse clash with Cigamia

1	3 1st (3) (8/1 -33%) Coeur D'or		8 8/1(-33%)																															(3) Coeur D'or 8/1, Career best when winning 18-runner handicap at Galway (8.6f, soft, 14/1) 25 days ago by head from No More Porter. Yard in good form. Another bold show likely after 5 lb rise. Smart form in handicaps this year, 7lb higher than for Galway win, may remain competitive.
2	5 2nd (5) (6.5/1 +7%) Blues Emperor		6.5 6.5/1(+7%)																															(5) Blues Emperor 6.5/1, C&D winner. 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Good 1¾ lengths sixth of 18 to Coeur D'or in handicap at Galway (8.6f, soft, 9/1) 25 days ago. Likely to continue in form. Back-to-back winner including over C&D, met some trouble in Galway race won by Coeur D'Or.
3	17 3rd (17) (3.33/1 +52%) Crystal Black		3.33 3.33/1(+52%)																															(17) Crystal Black 3.33/1, Won 18-runner handicap at this C&D (good, well-backed 5/1) 14 days ago. Up 8 lb and another big run on the way. Availed of reduced mark to record recent C&D win, up 8lb but remains 6lb below career-high.
4	4 4th (4) (28/1 -40%) Fastnet Crown		28 28/1(-40%)																															(4) Fastnet Crown 28/1, C&D winner. Eleventh of 15 in handicap at this course (10f, good, 11/1) 91 days ago, left poorly placed. Third in this in 2021. Won a premier handicap over C&D last season, others much preferred on 2023 course form.
5th	22 5th (22) (25/1 +24%) Sirjack Thomas		25 25/1(+24%)																															(22) Sirjack Thomas 25/1, C&D winner. 20/1, creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 9 days ago, faring best of those held up. Beat the consistent Coeur D'Or here in May, two fair runs at Galway, similar at Windsor.
6th	11 6th (11) (12/1 +40%) Rahmi		12 12/1(+40%)																															(11) Rahmi 12/1, C&D winner. 15/2, 11¾ lengths last of 18 to Coeur D'or in handicap at Galway (8.6f, soft) 25 days ago. Galway run was too bad to be true, better judged on previous C&D displays.
7th	2 7th (2) (28/1 +15%) Saltonstall		28 28/1(+15%)																															(2) Saltonstall 28/1, C&D winner. Creditable 2 lengths seventh of 18 to Coeur D'or in handicap at Galway (8.6f, soft, 20/1) 25 days ago, never nearer. A regular in this (fourth in 2021). Best run this year when second in C&D Irish Lincoln, seventh behind Coeur D'Or at Galway.
8th	15 8th (15) (8/1 +33%) No More Porter		8 8/1(+33%)																															(15) No More Porter 8/1, C&D winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. Below form sixth of 16 in handicap (11/2) at Galway (7f, soft) 20 days ago. Has been running well in defeat this season, possibly the pick of his trainer's squad here.
9th	14 9th (14) (16/1 +36%) Laughifuwant		16 16/1(+36%)																															(14) Laughifuwant 16/1, C&D winner. 7/1, improved on recent efforts to win 16-runner handicap at Galway (8.4f, good to soft) 23 days ago, driven out. Won this in 2020 off 12 lb higher. Plenty of appeal. Confirmed liking for Galway on second of two starts at the festival, won this race in 2020.
10th	7 10th (7) (22/1 -120%) Clever And Cool		22 22/1(-120%)																															(7) Clever And Cool 22/1, Career best when winning 7-runner listed race (20/1) at Cork (7f, heavy) 8 days ago by 7½ lengths from Tarawa. Carries penalty on handicap debut and good chance if she wasn't flattered there. Has gone up 12lb for 7f Listed win at Cork, 7lb penalty here, strong chance in theory.
11th	13 11th (13) (25/1 -79%) Carracci		25 25/1(-79%)																															(13) Carracci 25/1, Below form 8½ lengths tenth of 18 to Crystal Black in handicap at this C&D (good, 6/1) 14 days ago. Yard in good form. Others more persuasive. Only win was gained at Dundalk, probably capable of better than he showed here on latest.
12th	16 12th (16) (12/1 +52%) Cordouan		12 12/1(+52%)																															(16) Cordouan 12/1, 14/1, 3¼ lengths thirteenth of 18 to Coeur D'or in handicap at Galway (8.6f, soft) 25 days ago. Only Irish win gained at Laytown last season, stable appears to have stronger candidates.
13th	18 13th (18) (20/1 -25%) Free Solo		20 20/1(-25%)																															(18) Free Solo 20/1, 15/2, good 2½ lengths third of 18 to Crystal Black in handicap at this C&D (good) 14 days ago. Yet to win for this stable but running well in defeat, third to Crystal Black last time.
14th	8 14th (8) (20/1 -43%) Current Option		20 20/1(-43%)																															(8) Current Option 20/1, Below form ninth of 16 in handicap (4/1) at Galway (7f, soft) 20 days ago. Mid-division on his last three runs including twice at Galway, trainer has six runners.
15th	19 15th (19) (20/1 +20%) Zabeir		20 20/1(+20%)																															(19) Zabeir 20/1, Respectable 5¾ lengths sixth of 18 to Crystal Black in handicap at this C&D (good, 5/1) 14 days ago. Fair sixth over C&D a fortnight ago but had three of these rivals in front of him then.
16th	10 16th (10) (33/1 +0%) Monaasib		33 33/1(+0%)																															(10) Monaasib 33/1, Course winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2020. 16/1, bit below form 7 lengths eighth of 18 to Crystal Black in handicap at this C&D (good) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. A long time since his last win, hard to see him getting change of fortune in this company.
17th	23 17th (23) (16/1 +36%) Facethepuckout		16 16/1(+36%)																															(23) Facethepuckout 16/1, Course winner. 6/1, creditable second of 7 in handicap at Gowran (7f, good) 10 days ago, conceding first run. Last season's winning form suggests he is best on soft but running well in good this year.
18th	6 18th (6) (20/1 +0%) Casanova		20 20/1(+0%)																															(6) Casanova 20/1, Twenty two runs since last win in 2021. 20/1, creditable 1¼ lengths fourth of 18 to Coeur D'or in handicap at Galway (8.6f, soft) 25 days ago. Third in Irish Lincoln, closely matched with several of these on running at Galway.
19th	20 19th (20) (40/1 -60%) Overheer		40 40/1(-60%)																															(20) Overheer 40/1, Latest win at Leopardstown in June. Below form eighth of 14 in handicap (18/1) at Dundalk (10.7f) 11 days ago. Back down in trip. Did not seem to stay the extended 1m2f at Dundalk, previously second over 1m1f here.
20th	1 20th (1) (33/1 -65%) Vega Magnifico		33 33/1(-65%)																															(1) Vega Magnifico 33/1, Useful gelding. 7¾ lengths last of 9 to Espionage in listed race at Roscommon (11.7f, good to soft, 14/1) 53 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Tongue strap back on. Must improve. Went up 7lb for a Listed third on his penultimate start, probably too high to feature here.
21st	21 21st (21) (28/1 +15%) San Aer		28 28/1(+15%)																															(21) San Aer 28/1, Course winner. Below form 12¼ lengths seventh of 16 to Laughifuwant in handicap at Galway (8.4f, good to soft, 11/1) 23 days ago. Fourth in the Irish Lincoln here in March, has failed to match that form on last four runs.
22nd	12 22nd (12) (28/1 -12%) Joe Masseria		28 28/1(-12%)																															(12) Joe Masseria 28/1, Latest win at Cork in April. 12/1, below form tenth of 16 in handicap at Galway (7f, soft) 20 days ago, not clear run. All three wins have been on soft or heavy ground, first of two Galway runs was respectable.

CLEVER AND COOL put her effort here two starts ago well and truly behind her when romping home in a Listed event at Cork just five days later. Jim Bolger's filly does have a 7lb penalty to contend with, but is still 5lb ahead of the handicapper and could take some stopping if running to a similar level. The progressive Coeur d'Or heads the list of dangers after his Galway success, ahead of the recent C&D winner Crystal Black and the in-form Casanova.

LAUGHIFUWANT notched up his first success since his 2020-win in this at Galway at the start of the month and remains fairly treated after an 8 lb rise (took this off 12 lb higher 3 years ago). If he backs that up he looks sure to go close. Stablemate Crystal Black is an obvious contender after his easy victory over C&D a fortnight ago. BMW Mile winner Coeur d'Or and Irish Cambridgeshire regular Saltonstall are also high on the shortlist.

The ground was soft when CLEVER AND COOL hacked up at Cork last week but she has won on good ground and can defy a fixed penalty here

Should give his running again. Tricky in the gates but been running well in defeat for the most part this year.
3	5 3rd (5) (8/1 +20%) Collective Power		8 8/1(+20%)																															(5) Collective Power 8/1, Latest win at Navan in June. 9/1, bit below form 3½ lengths ninth of 19 to Secret Magician in handicap at this C&D (good) 14 days ago. Form has been in and out lately. Well held in C&D contest won by Secret Magician; high enough in the weights at present..
4	1 4th (1) (10/1 -43%) Daamberdiplomat		10 10/1(-43%)																															(1) Daamberdiplomat 10/1, C&D winner. 8/1 and eyeshields on for 1st time blinkered for 1st time, fourth of 7 in handicap at Gowran (7f, good) 10 days ago. Stable in good form. Enters calculations. Fair effort at Gowran last time but probably needs to drop another few pounds.
5th	2 5th (2) (22/1 -10%) Artemis Jones		22 22/1(-10%)																															(2) Artemis Jones 22/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Limerick in June. Last of 13 in handicap at this course (8f, good, 8/1) 13 days ago, possibly amiss. Back down in trip. Up against it. Maiden winner at Limerick over 7f on third start; poor run on handicap debut over 1m here.
6th	16 6th (16) (20/1 -150%) Run Forrest Run		20 20/1(-150%)																															(16) Run Forrest Run 20/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in May. Respectable eighth of 25 in handicap at Cork (7f, good, 10/1). Off 101 days. Not ruled out after a break. It all fell right for hold-up performer over C&D in May (soft); goes on better ground too.
7th	3 7th (3) (10/1 +29%) Ice Cold In Alex		10 10/1(+29%)																															(3) Ice Cold In Alex 10/1, 4-time course winner. Ninth of 13 in handicap (12/1) at this C&D (good to soft) 6 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Second to Verhoyen over 7f on Guineas weekend showed he still has it; well held since.
8th	9 8th (9) (10/1 +0%) Livingston Range		10 10/1(+0%)																															(9) Livingston Range 10/1, Latest win at Naas in July. Visored for 1st time, shaped as if still in form when eighth of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (6f, 8/1) 11 days ago. Respected. Just nailed late on by Secret Magician here two weeks ago; backpedalled on AW since.
9th	8 9th (8) (7/1 -8%) Not Even Close		7 7/1(-8%)																															(8) Not Even Close 7/1, Lightly-raced winner. 11/2, respectable sixth of 18 in handicap at this course (7f, good) 57 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Not dismissed. Beaten 5l by course specialist Verhoyen Derby weekend; back in trip with headgear fitted.
10th	6 10th (6) (3.5/1 +0%) Secret Magician		3.5 3.5/1(+0%)																															(6) Secret Magician 3.5/1, 9/2, won 19-runner handicap at this C&D (good) 14 days ago by neck from Livingston Range. Makes plenty of appeal once more. C&D winner a fortnight ago; pipped off 1lb lower here last year so may have another in him.
11th	10 11th (10) (25/1 -25%) Rumbled Again		25 25/1(-25%)																															(10) Rumbled Again 25/1, Winner at Gowran in May. Twelfth of 15 in handicap at Galway (7f, heavy, 18/1) 26 days ago. 7f seems a good fit, winning at Gowran and second at Leopardstown under go-forward rides.
12th	11 12th (11) (10/1 +50%) Amanirenas		10 10/1(+50%)																															(11) Amanirenas 10/1, Latest win at Fairyhouse in July. Eighth of 11 in handicap (11/1) at Leopardstown (7f, good) 2 days ago. Others more persuasive. Up 15lb for two wins this summer over 7f; beaten 5l at Leopardstown on Thursday.
13th	12 13th (12) (100/1 -52%) Marks Bear		100 100/1(-52%)																															(12) Marks Bear 100/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. First run since leaving Gary Moore when fifteenth of 16 in handicap at Galway (7f, soft, 100/1) 21 days ago. Out the back on seasonal/yard bow at Galway; Burke stable not a sprinting stronghold.
14th	15 14th (15) (10/1 -25%) Not Too Real Bad		10 10/1(-25%)																															(15) Not Too Real Bad 10/1, Latest win at Cork in May. Shaped as if still in form fourth of 13 in handicap (6/1) at Cork (5f, heavy) 8 days ago, faring best of those held up. Likely to get competitive. Won over 5f at Cork; has form at this trip but stiff track here could find her out.
15th	14 15th (14) (50/1 +0%) Lockdown		50 50/1(+0%)																															(14) Lockdown 50/1, 16/1, first run since leaving George Baker when fifth of 8 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good). Off 94 days. Must improve. Not shamed at Ayr on first start for present connections; hard to fancy after lay-off.
16th	13 16th (13) (22/1 -83%) Wooden Head		22 22/1(-83%)																															(13) Wooden Head 22/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 15 in maiden (9/1) at this C&D (good to soft) 7 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Likely to improve and well worth a market check. Respectable runs in 6f maidens; slowly away last time, blinds go on instead of tongue-tie.
17th	17 17th (17) (16/1 +20%) Havana Notion		16 16/1(+20%)																															(17) Havana Notion 16/1, Winner at Tipperary in July. Eighth of 10 in handicap at Tipperary (5f, soft, 12/1) 15 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Others more persuasive. Soft ground no good last twice after breakthrough win over 5f at Tipperary; cheekpieces.

LTO Selection:

A fairly open contest in which a chance can be taken on LIVINGSTON RANGE, who reverts to turf following a disappointing run on the all-weather earlier this month. He was only narrowly denied over C&D on his penultimate outing off a 3lb lower mark but, given Robert Whearty knocks 2lb off the gelding's back here, he looks capable of bouncing back. Last-time-out winner Secret Magician is feared most off 5lb higher, while the relatively unexposed Not Even Close is another to consider.

NOT TOO REAL BAD has edged back to an appealing mark and shaped as if still in good order (best of those held up) when fourth at Cork last week, so he's worth chancing in a wide-open contest. Recent C&D winner Secret Magician is an obvious danger and Not Even Close should be respected.

He only just got there over C&D last time but SECRET MAGICIAN is probably still on a winnable mark and can follow up

1	2 1st (2) (2.25/1 +50%) Asian Daze		2.25 2.25/1(+50%)																															(2) Asian Daze 2.25/1, Upped her game when 13-runner maiden at Gowran (7f, good, 10/3) 10 days ago, driven out. Can do better still, so definite player on nursery debut. Had two of these behind when winning well over 7f at Gowran; yard took this last year.
2	5 2nd (5) (8.5/1 +15%) What A Squeeze		8.5 8.5/1(+15%)																															(5) What A Squeeze 8.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 15 in maiden at this course (6f, good, 28/1) 14 days ago. Type to do better upped in trip for nursery debut, so worthy of respect. Beaten quite a long way in fourth over 6f here a fortnight ago but may have needed it.
3	6 3rd (6) (5/1 +17%) Sun Never Sets		5 5/1(+17%)																															(6) Sun Never Sets 5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 3 lengths third of 13 to Asian Daze in maiden at Gowran (7f, good, 7/1) 10 days ago. Switches to nurseries with the prospect of further progress, so not ruled out. Led at Gowran when third to Asian Daze so had track bias in her favour; big weight-pull.
4	4 4th (4) (18/1 -29%) Dandy Lichious		18 18/1(-29%)																															(4) Dandy Lichious 18/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 66/1, fifth of 11 in maiden at Bellewstown (7.8f, good to soft) 50 days ago. Makes nursery debut. Not discounted. Big price when just behind stablemate State's Evidence in Bellewstown maiden.
5th	9 5th (9) (18/1 -29%) Bid For Chester		18 18/1(-29%)																															(9) Bid For Chester 18/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 11 in maiden at Sligo (5.7f, good to soft, 12/1) 17 days ago. Step back up in trip will suit and he remains with potential. Yard always respected in this category; debut behind subsequent Phoenix winner reads well.
6th	1 6th (1) (2.5/1 -43%) Carnegie Hall		2.5 2.5/1(-43%)																															(1) Carnegie Hall 2.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 7/2, good second of 11 in nursery at this course (6f, good to soft) 6 days ago. Stable in good form. Capable of going one better. Second in nurseries at Cork (5f) and here (6f); up 8lb in total and probably vulnerable.
7th	7 7th (7) (7.5/1 +38%) King Of Gosford		7.5 7.5/1(+38%)																															(7) King Of Gosford 7.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 11 in maiden (4/1) at Sligo (5.7f, good to soft) 17 days ago. May yet to better on nursery bow. Fair fourth at Down Royal (7f); soft ground/shorter trip may not have suited at Sligo.
8th	3 8th (3) (11/1 -175%) State's Evidence		11 11/1(-175%)																															(3) State's Evidence 11/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 4/1, 6 lengths sixth of 13 to Asian Daze in maiden at Gowran (7f, good) 10 days ago. Makes nursery debut. Bred to do better. Disappointing sixth to Asian Maze at Gowran; 10lb better off with that rival.

CARNEGIE HALL looked to be crying out for a seventh furlong when beaten a length here last week over shorter. Although he has been put up 4lb for that effort, the son of No Nay Never may prove too good for these. Asian Daze is an obvious danger as the only winner in the field after she took her maiden at Gowran Park easily last time, while What A Squeeze would be interesting if she can repeat her debut fourth.

CARNEGIE HALL boasts a progressive profile and, having found one too good on each of his nursery outings to date, he's worth a chance to get off the mark now. Asian Daze and Sun Never Sets, who filled the first two places in a Gowran maiden last time, are both dangers.

Ger Lyons won a nursery here last weekend and maybe DANDY LICHIOUS can strike for him here after a promising maiden run at Bellewstown

6th	11 6th (11) (66/1 +0%) Adhuil		66 66/1(+0%)																															(11) Adhuil 66/1 Modest maiden hasn't shown much for quite a while and looks outclassed.
7th	5 7th (5) (66/1 -100%) Gotthenod		66 66/1(-100%)																															(5) Gotthenod 66/1 Six-time hurdle winner at a modest level; unlikely to match some of these on the Flat.
8th	7 8th (7) (50/1 -52%) Fireworks		50 50/1(-52%)																															(7) Fireworks 50/1 Mark of 84 from his time in Britain but out of form Flat and jumps for current yard.
9th	10 9th (10) (50/1 -52%) The Virginian		50 50/1(-52%)																															(10) The Virginian 50/1 Been running okay over hurdles but even the best of his Flat form leaves him up against it.
10th	13 10th (13) (100/1 +0%) Tall Story		100 100/1(+0%)																															(13) Tall Story 100/1 Long-standing maiden over around 1m; very stiff task.
11th	8 11th (8) (66/1 -32%) Halcyon Spirit		66 66/1(-32%)																															(8) Halcyon Spirit 66/1 Has a mark in the mid-60s and not in much form lately.
12th	2 12th (2) (11/1 +21%) Watch The Weather		11 11/1(+21%)																															(2) Watch The Weather 11/1 Been in good form over hurdles, bolting up at Tipperary and fourth over 2m6f at Galway.
13th	12 13th (12) (100/1 +0%) Cometh The Man		100 100/1(+0%)																															(12) Cometh The Man 100/1 50-race maiden with a lowly mark; should enjoy the day out without being competitive.

A finale which is possibly lacking depth and it's hard to look too far beyond experienced dual-purpose performer THE VERY MAN, who looked on excellent terms with himself when readily scoring off an 8lb lower mark at Ascot's recent Shergar Cup meeting. Jungle Cove is good enough to make his presence felt off his current mark, while The Virginian could throw up some each-way value if putting his best foot forward, along with in-form hurdler Watch The Weather on his belated Flat debut.

Hard to look past THE VERY MAN given the form he's been in since winning a similar contest at Punchestown in the spring

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.
