1	4 1st (4) (11/2 +0%) Tarawa		5.5 11/2(+0%)																															(4) Tarawa 11/2, Useful filly. 11/4, bit below form 7 lengths second of 7 to Diego Velazquez in Meld Stakes at Leopardstown (9f, good) 44 days ago, no match for winner. Enters calculations. Won Listed contest at Leopardstown in June; should run her race but she's not reliable.
2	5 2nd (5) (5/2 +0%) Hanalia		2.5 5/2(+0%)																															(5) Hanalia 5/2, Promising sort. 9/1, good 4¼ lengths sixth of 14 to You Got To Me in Irish Oaks at this course (12f, good to firm) 42 days ago. Remains open to improvement and she's a big player back down in trip. Beaten just over 4l in Irish Oaks; could be the most dangerous of the Aga Khan pair.
3	9 3rd (9) (7/4 +50%) Wingspan		1.75 7/4(+50%)																															(9) Wingspan 7/4, Thrice-raced winner. 4/1, won 8-runner listed race at Gowran (9.4f, good) 17 days ago by ¾ length from One Look, driven out. This is more demanding but she's unexposed and her yard has saddled the winner of this race 6 times since 2012. Hit the line well at Gowran; holds multiple Group 1 entries and there will be more to come.
4	6 4th (6) (13/2 +28%) Sakti		6.5 13/2(+28%)																															(6) Sakti 13/2, Useful filly. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Winner at Dundalk in March. 2¼ lengths fifth of 8 to Wingspan in listed race at Gowran (9.4f, good, 7/2) 17 days ago. Has work to do. Didn't look a sure stayer when fifth behind Wingspan at Gowran last time but was favourite.
5th	7 5th (7) (15/2 -67%) Uluru		7.5 15/2(-67%)																															(7) Uluru 15/2, Useful filly. Very good ¾-length second of 5 to Almara in Prix de Psyche (29/10) at Deauville (9.9f, good) 34 days ago. Likely to make her presence felt. Trip and ground will be fine and should make her presence felt after good Group 3 second.
6th	8 6th (8) (18/1 -64%) Unreasonable		18 18/1(-64%)																															(8) Unreasonable 18/1, Useful filly. 10/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, very good ¾-length third of 8 to Wingspan in listed race at Gowran (9.4f, good) 17 days ago. Place possibilities. First-time cheekpieces worked well last time and they are fitted again; place claims.
7th	1 7th (1) (33/1 -83%) Adelaise		33 33/1(-83%)																															(1) Adelaise 33/1, Useful mare. Latest win at Kempton in April. 6¾ lengths last of 8 to Wingspan in listed race at Gowran (9.4f, good, 5/1) 17 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. One of 3 representing the Joseph O'Brien yard. Didn't stay this sort of trip at Gowran when last seen, well beaten behind Wingspan.

It isn't ideal that HANALIA drops in distance but she met in-running trouble in the Irish Oaks last month and steps back in grade. She defeated a now 102-rated filly when landing her maiden before following up in Listed company in June and ran a fine race in the Oaks here, with that form boosted by the runner-up subsequently winning the Yorkshire Oaks. Also rated 104, Tarawa is ideally suited by conditions and this Listed winner looks sure to run well. Wingspan defeated a subsequent scorer when landing a Gowran Listed race but this is slightly stronger.

The one who appeals most is HANALIA, who performed with plenty of credit upped to 1½m in the Irish Oaks here last month and she may well have more to offer now dropping back in class and trip. The unexposed and very well-bred Wingspan should also have better days ahead and she rates the main danger on the back of her recent listed success at Gowran. Uluru, who went close in a French Group 3 last time, and Tarawa are others to consider.

With some lofty Group 1 entries upcoming, Ballydoyle's WINGSPAN should take all the beating after her gutsy Listed victory at Gowran

1	2 1st (2) (6/1 +50%) King Thistle		6 6/1(+50%)																															(2) King Thistle 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Below form sixth of 12 in nursery (15/2) at Galway (7f, soft) 28 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Needs a couple of these to falter. Ddn't enjoy ground at Galway; blinkers applied for stable that won last two runnings.
2	7 2nd (7) (10/1 0%) Edergole's Angel		10 10/1(0%)																															(7) Edergole's Angel 10/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 18 in maiden at Leopardstown (7.1f, good, 11/1) 9 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Others more persuasive. Still a work in progress and others look better treated despite eyecatching run last time.
3	4 3rd (4) (16/5 +29%) Nyman		3.2 16/5(+29%)																															(4) Nyman 16/5, Lightly-raced maiden. Fifth of 12 to Girl Like You in nursery (17/2) at this course (6f, good to firm) 14 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Not ruled out. Has 6l to make up on Girl Like You on nursery meeting but step up in trip will suit.
4	3 4th (3) (4/1 +33%) Sugar Club		4 4/1(+33%)																															(3) Sugar Club 4/1, Thrice-raced winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Last of 4 in minor event at Roscommon (7.5f, heavy, 9/4) 11 days ago, finding little. Makes handicap debut. Needs to bounce back. Didn't enjoy heavy ground when last of four at Roscommon; respected on better ground.
5th	5 5th (5) (9/4 +18%) Sweet Chariot		2.25 9/4(+18%)																															(5) Sweet Chariot 9/4, Thrice-raced maiden. 9/1, seventh of 11 in maiden at Leopardstown (7.1f, good) 9 days ago. Trainer going well. Blinkers on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Open to progress so she's firmly in the picture. Holds Group 1 entries but folded tamely after leading early on first try at this trip.
6th	10 6th (10) (20/1 +39%) Churchill Gale		20 20/1(+39%)																															(10) Churchill Gale 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, below form seventh of 12 in nursery at Galway (7f, soft) 28 days ago. Uphill task. Unable to sustain effort turning for home at Galway on handicap debut; lots to prove.
7th	8 7th (8) (8/1 -100%) Sunriseontheboyne		8 8/1(-100%)																															(8) Sunriseontheboyne 8/1, Career best when winning 5-runner nursery at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft, 7/1) 8 days ago. Can go well again. Battled well to win from 4lb out of the handicap last time; would prefer a bit of ease.
8th	6 8th (6) (28/1 -12%) Longwinded Lady		28 28/1(-12%)																															(6) Longwinded Lady 28/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 80/1, ninth of 15 in maiden at Tipperary (7.4f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Sights are lowered now tackling handicaps but difficult to recommend at present.

Top-weight GIRL LIKE YOU should be able to follow up her recent win at this track. Although only getting up late to go in by half a length on that occasion, the Joseph O'Brien-trained filly looked to have a bit in hand. Stepping up an additional furlong now should also enable her to improve sufficiently to overcome an 8lb rise. Nyman, who finished fifth in that aforementioned contest, is entitled to get much closer at the revised weights. The Earthlight colt had run well over 7f on his previous start, so is another who should appreciate the longer trip. Sweet Chariot has to be respected off a mark of 74, with blinkers fitted for the first time. Headgear can often bring about significant improvement in some of the stable lesser lights.

Course winner GIRL LIKE YOU rates the pick of the weights and with this longer trip also a positive she looks the way to go. Aidan O'Brien's handicap debutante Sweet Chariot rates the main danger, with recent Killarney scorer Sunriseontheboyne also in the mix.

A wide-open contest with pros and cons for the majority of the field, but it's probably worth taking a chance on KING THISTLE

1	5 1st (5) (22/1 -83%) Wigmore Street		22 22/1(-83%)																															(5) Wigmore Street 22/1, Lightly-raced winner. Last of 4 in minor event at Tipperary (9f, good to firm, 5/2) 22 days ago, again high head carriage. Temperament now firmly under suspicion and others more persuasive. Likely capable of better than he has shown so far in Ireland but others preferred.
2	8 2nd (8) (5/1 +38%) State Actor		5 5/1(+38%)																															(8) State Actor 5/1, Lightly-raced winner. C&D winner. 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Respectable 5¼ lengths fourth of 15 to Booyea in handicap (9/4) at this C&D (good) 62 days ago. Not taken lightly. Unlucky in running in a premier handicap here in June; unexposed and could be a big player.
3	24 3rd (24) (50/1 -52%) Independent Expert		50 50/1(-52%)																															(24) Independent Expert 50/1, Course winner. Latest win at Killarney in July. 10/1, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Cork (7f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Something to find on form. No impression at Cork last time; 1lb wrong and others look more likely.
4	2 4th (2) (11/1 +8%) Coeur D'or		11 11/1(+8%)																															(2) Coeur D'or 11/1, C&D winner. Creditable fourth of 18 in handicap (11/1) at Galway (8.6f, good to soft) 32 days ago, never nearer. Won this last year off 3 lb lower so must be respected. Last year's winner consistent in big handicaps this year; can get into the mix again..
5th	1 5th (1) (33/1 +0%) Big Gossey		33 33/1(+0%)																															(1) Big Gossey 33/1, Creditable ¾-length fourth of 11 to Givemethebeatboys in Phoenix Sprint Stakes (16/1) at this course (6f, good to firm) 21 days ago, sticking to task. Significantly back up in trip. Others look better treated. A truly run handicap over 1m is unknown territory; respected given his track record.
6th	22 6th (22) (18/1 +10%) No More Porter		18 18/1(+10%)																															(22) No More Porter 18/1, C&D winner. Twenty five runs since last win in 2021. Last of 16 in handicap at Galway (7f, soft, 5/1) 27 days ago. Ran no race in the Ahonoora at Galway and has to bounce back from that; not impossible.
7th	12 7th (12) (20/1 -43%) Chicago Fireball		20 20/1(-43%)																															(12) Chicago Fireball 20/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Good second of 6 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 4/1) 21 days ago, well positioned. Respected. Good run when second to the well-handicapped Quadruple here three weeks ago; could go well.
8th	15 8th (15) (28/1 +30%) Narmar		28 28/1(+30%)																															(15) Narmar 28/1, Thirteenth of 18 in handicap (22/1) at Galway (8.6f, good to soft) 32 days ago. Had little luck in running at both Leopardstown and the Galway Mile; others appeal more.
9th	16 9th (16) (22/1 +12%) Old Faithful		22 22/1(+12%)																															(16) Old Faithful 22/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. 16/1, seventeenth of 18 in handicap at Galway (8.6f, good to soft) 32 days ago. Came up short in big handicaps at Royal Ascot and the Galway Mile; others preferred.
10th	6 10th (6) (80/1 -471%) Quar Shamar		80 80/1(-471%)																															(6) Quar Shamar 80/1, 12/1, first run since leaving Mrs J. Harrington when fourth of 5 in minor event at Gowran (9.5f, good) 35 days ago. Hood on 1st time. Opening mark looks high enough. No impression in a conditions contest at Gowran on her stable debut; hood tried here.
11th	10 11th (10) (22/1 +33%) Soaring Monarch		22 22/1(+33%)																															(10) Soaring Monarch 22/1, Good third of 18 in handicap at Galway (12f, soft, 28/1) 29 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. More needed. Good third in a 1m4f premier handicap at Galway latest; others more likely over this trip.
12th	21 12th (21) (33/1 -32%) Giuseppe Cassioli		33 33/1(-32%)																															(21) Giuseppe Cassioli 33/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win at Leopardstown in July. Creditable third of 6 in handicap (11/2) at this C&D (good to firm) 21 days ago. No match for Quadruple or today's rival Chicago Fireball here last time; others preferred.
13th	17 13th (17) (11/1 +21%) Vera's Secret		11 11/1(+21%)																															(17) Vera's Secret 11/1, Low-mileag 5-y-o who was much improved when making a winning handicap bow at this C&D (good, 12/1) 41 days ago, storming clear. Should progress again and player. 17lb rise gets her in here and she could be anything in the context of this race.
14th	14 14th (14) (14/1 -40%) Genuine Article		14 14/1(-40%)																															(14) Genuine Article 14/1, 11/4, good second of 17 in handicap at Galway (8.4f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Headgear on 1st time. Merits consideration. Went off favourite when narrowly missing out at Galway last time; turn looks near.
15th	23 15th (23) (18/1 +10%) Global Energy		18 18/1(+10%)																															(23) Global Energy 18/1, 2 wins from 4 runs this year. 15/2, career best when winning 19-runner handicap at this C&D (good), always holding on. Off 99 days. Can give a good account. 1lb wrong here but has a top 5lb claimer on board and is on the shortlist.
16th	3 16th (3) (15/2 +53%) Booyea		7.5 15/2(+53%)																															(3) Booyea 15/2, C&D winner. 2 wins from 3 runs this year. Latest win here in June. 6/1, bit below form eighth of 18 in handicap at Galway (8.6f, good to soft) 32 days ago. Did not get a clear run in the Galway Mile; down 2lb but has it to prove off this mark.
17th	20 17th (20) (33/1 -18%) Fort Vega		33 33/1(-18%)																															(20) Fort Vega 33/1, Fourth of 6 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f, good to soft, 10/3). Off 13 months. Tough ask. Absence of over a year is a clear concern coming into a race like this; others preferred.
18th	7 18th (7) (13/2 +59%) Blues Emperor		6.5 13/2(+59%)																															(7) Blues Emperor 13/2, C&D winner. Respectable fifth of 18 in handicap (9/1) at Galway (8.6f, good to soft) 32 days ago. Went close in this last year off higher mark and can make presence felt again. 5lb lower than last year with the same rider on board and no surprise if he went close.
19th	9 19th (9) (16/1 +0%) Plume Noire		16 16/1(+0%)																															(9) Plume Noire 16/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Naas in May. 9/2, sixteenth of 18 in handicap at Galway (8.6f, good to soft) 32 days ago. Cheekpieces back on.

Sixth of 7 in handicap at Naas (10.4f, good to soft, 12/1) 6 days ago. Back down in trip. Visor on 1st time. Form has tailed off with three bad runs at Galway and again at Naas last Sunday.
21st	19 21st (19) (100/1 -300%) Facethepuckout		100 100/1(-300%)																															(19) Facethepuckout 100/1, Course winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. Latest win at Naas in July. Creditable third of 17 in handicap at Galway (8.4f, good to soft, 16/1) 30 days ago, running on. Career best required. Very solid effort in a competitive Galway handicap; any rain will help his cause.
22nd	11 22nd (11) (16/1 +0%) Sea Eagle		16 16/1(+0%)																															(11) Sea Eagle 16/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this year. 5/1, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Roscommon (7.5f, heavy) 11 days ago, easily. Carries penalty. Expected to be bang there. Gets in here with his winner's penalty from Roscommon and an interesting runner.
23rd	4 23rd (4) (16/1 +0%) Shayzann		16 16/1(+0%)																															(4) Shayzann 16/1, 7/2, creditable second of 5 in minor event at Gowran (9.5f, good) 35 days ago. Has work to do. Good runs at Leopardstown and Gowran; could be on a good mark and the choice of Ben Coen.
24th	13 24th (13) (50/1 -25%) Current Option		50 50/1(-25%)																															(13) Current Option 50/1, Latest win at Fairyhouse in June. Bit below form eighth of 16 in handicap at Galway (7f, soft, 20/1) 27 days ago. Below par twice at Galway and will have to step back up in a big way.

Having potentially had a number of options in this race, it is surely significant that Colin Keane has remained loyal to STATE ACTOR. The Bill Farrell-trained gelding won his maiden over C&D in May, before following up on his handicap debut a month later. Somewhat unlucky in running when only fourth here on his latest start, the four-year-old remains open to further improvement. Blues Emperor is 5lb lower than when just touched off in this race last year. With Wesley Joyce once again in the saddle, the Johnny Murtagh-trained gelding has leading claims of going one better. No More Porter, who seldom runs a bad race at this track, is another with a live chance from the foot of the weights.

This has likely been the target for BLUES EMPEROR, who went close in this last year off 5 lb higher under this rider. Sea Eagle is potentially still on a good mark under a penalty after his easy success at Roscommon, while Vera's Secret is a must for the shortlist after her impressive handicap debut win over this C&D 6 weeks ago.

The selection is VERA'S SECRET(nap), so impressive on her handicap debut here last month and could easily be good enough

Creditable third of 13 in handicap at Cork (5f, good to firm, 7/2) 15 days ago, running on. Drop back to five at Cork probably didn't suit; back up to this stiff six should suit well.
2	12 2nd (12) (25/1 +24%) Fivecromwellplace		25 25/1(+24%)																															(12) Fivecromwellplace 25/1, Winner at Dundalk in March.

Respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at Cork (5f, good to firm, 10/3) 15 days ago. Can make presence felt. Did well over 5f in handicaps at Tipperary and Cork last twice; back up to 6f should suit.
5th	6 5th (6) (10/3 +5%) Secret Magician		3.333333 10/3(+5%)																															(6) Secret Magician 10/3, C&D winner. Latest win at Naas in August.

Tongue strap on 1st time. Must improve on turf exploits so far. Some improvement behind Secret Magician at Naas; tongue-tie tried and could go well.

9th	16 9th (16) (33/1 +0%) Miqdaad		33 33/1(+0%)																															(16) Miqdaad 33/1, Eleventh of 16 in handicap (28/1) at Gowran (7f, good) 35 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Others more persuasive. Not beaten far on his stable debut at Naas; 3lb wrong and more needed.
10th	4 10th (4) (14/1 +22%) Nikki Swango		14 14/1(+22%)																															(4) Nikki Swango 14/1, Eighteenth of 19 in handicap (14/1) at Naas (5.9f, good to soft) 38 days ago.

First run since leaving Miss Evanna McCutcheon when fourth of 7 in maiden (28/1) at Tipperary (5f, heavy). Off 95 days. Makes handicap debut. Should improve.

12th	7 12th (7) (20/1 0%) Devil's Angel		20 20/1(0%)																															(7) Devil's Angel 20/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 50/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, good) 26 days ago.

Well beaten at Galway and his fall down the handicap is not arresting that slide.
14th	2 14th (2) (14/1 -27%) Never Cry Never		14 14/1(-27%)																															(2) Never Cry Never 14/1, 9/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 7-runner maiden at Dundalk (6f), driven out. First run for yard after leaving J. A. Stack. Makes handicap debut and there should be more to come. Hood tried here after he was withdrawn after getting very upset in the stalls at Naas.

Soundly beaten in two handicap starts and gelded since his last run; others preferred.
16th	11 16th (11) (14/1 +58%) Si Senior		14 14/1(+58%)																															(11) Si Senior 14/1, Creditable tenth of 18 in handicap at Leopardstown (7.1f, good, 40/1) 9 days ago, never nearer. Ran okay at Leopardstown last week over 7f when getting no run; more needed here though.
17th	17 17th (17) (80/1 -21%) Valentino Express		80 80/1(-21%)																															(17) Valentino Express 80/1, Last of 13 in handicap at this course (5f, good, 28/1) 7 days ago. Plenty to find on form. Eight-race maiden and mostly modest handicap form; 3lb wrong and looks up against it.

Stepping back up to 6f could help the Paul Flynn-trained RAPPELL regain the winning thread. Twice successful over this distance, the three-year-old stayed on strongly close home last time when third over 5f at Cork. With more of an emphasis on stamina now, the Soldier's Call gelding should be in his element. Well drawn close to the favoured stands rail, he has much to recommend him. Just touched off over C&D recently, Secret Magician holds every chance of going one better. Wayne Hassett, who is leading the apprentice title race, is a definite plus in a race of this nature. Goldmoyne, who made most when winning over 7f here last time, shouldn't be too inconvenienced by dropping back a furlong. He, too, has to be a leading contender in an open affair.

Plenty to consider with SECRET MAGICIAN taken to continue the good work with the return to 7f likely to be in his favour. Never Cry Never may progress further for his new yard so is a threat, along with Dynamic Force.

Preference is for RAPPELL, in fine form this season and will appreciate coming back up to 6f after a good run over 5f at Cork

Off a mark that puts him 10lb clear on official ratings, PHOENIX COWBOY should prove hard to beat in this finale. A smart handicapper on the Flat for Ger Lyons, the seven-year-old has run well over hurdles since joining current connections. While he would ideally prefer more of a stamina test, the son of Gleneagles might just get away with it if they go a decent gallop. The Gordon Elliott-trained By Your Side would be a very appropriate winner for his young pilot. Successful over this trip at Tramore last time, the gelding is sure to have been lined up for this particular race. Winning hurdler Icare Desbois has yet to race on the Flat but, representing the Willie Mullins yard, he has to be a live hope.

It looks a good opportunity for recent Tramore winner BY YOUR SIDE to return to emotional scenes in the hands of Paddy Smullen

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.
