1	11 1st (11) (3/1 +54%) Keke		3 3/1(+54%)																															(11) Keke 3/1, Completed a hat-trick over 6f here in August and shaped well when fourth of 25 in handicap here (6f, good) 13 days ago, travelling strongly long way. Expected to be bang there reverted in trip. Progressive 4yo back to minimum trip here nicely drawn so potentially big player.
2	10 2nd (10) (20/1 -43%) Harry's Hill		20 20/1(-43%)																															(10) Harry's Hill 20/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Bellewstown in August. 8¾ lengths last of 11 to Ostraka in handicap at Navan (5f, good, 4/1) 21 days ago. Enters calculations if back on his A game. Last year's second well drawn here and could bounce back from below-par Navan run.
3	6 3rd (6) (4/1 +33%) Greek Flower		4 4/1(+33%)																															(6) Greek Flower 4/1, Course winner. 9/1, shaped well when seventh of 25 in handicap at this course (6f, good) 13 days ago, running on having suffered a poor passage 2f out. Player. Ran well from a bad draw in Bold Lad 13 days ago and remains of interest.
4	13 4th (13) (15/2 +32%) Emerald Harmony		7.5 15/2(+32%)																															(13) Emerald Harmony 15/2, Winner at Tipperary in August. Creditable second of 13 in handicap at Cork (5f, good to firm, 9/2) 43 days ago. Needs considering. Progressive on fast ground of late; recent rain a concern.
5th	9 5th (9) (12/1 +25%) Apache Outlaw		12 12/1(+25%)																															(9) Apache Outlaw 12/1, 20/1, respectable eleventh of 25 in handicap at this course (6f, good) 13 days ago. Shortlisted. Bad draw in Bold Lad here on latest but still has a bit to find.
6th	4 6th (4) (11/1 -38%) Ostraka		11 11/1(-38%)																															(4) Ostraka 11/1, C&D winner. 15/2, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Navan (5f, good) 21 days ago, pushed out. Not taken lightly in her current mood. Thriving of late over this trip; likely still on competitive mark, not sure if rain suits.
7th	14 7th (14) (11/1 -22%) Rappell		11 11/1(-22%)																															(14) Rappell 11/1, 3 wins from 7 runs this year. 8/1, career best when winning 17-runner handicap at this course (6f, good) 28 days ago, running on. In the mix. Up 12lb for recent win here; drop back to 5f may not be ideal.
8th	5 8th (5) (10/1 +29%) Transcendental		10 10/1(+29%)																															(5) Transcendental 10/1, Course winner. Latest win at Navan in August. 15/8, 7 lengths eighth of 11 to Ostraka in handicap at Navan (5f, good) 21 days ago so needs to get back on track. Raced on wrong side at Navan; better draw here so improvement expected.
9th	16 9th (16) (25/1 -25%) Nouvel Espoir		25 25/1(-25%)																															(16) Nouvel Espoir 25/1, Latest win at Tipperary in August. Respectable 3 lengths third of 11 to Ostraka in handicap (11/2) at Navan (5f, good) 21 days ago, nearest finish. Ought to be in the shake-up. Navan third to Ostraka a good run but plenty to do here from 8lb out of handicap.
10th	8 10th (8) (20/1 +39%) Sturlasson		20 20/1(+39%)																															(8) Sturlasson 20/1, Winner at Navan in May. 100/1, twenty second of 25 in handicap at this course (6f, good) 13 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Out of form since good Epsom second; blinkers tried.
11th	3 11th (3) (12/1 -71%) Mehmar		12 12/1(-71%)																															(3) Mehmar 12/1, Dual 6f winner but only eighth in handicap at this course (6f, good to firm) 42 days ago (sixth past the post but subsequently disqualified for jockey failing to weigh in). Blinkers on 1st time and needs to bounce back. Blinkers tried and dropped in trip; low draw and likely softer ground not ideal.
12th	7 12th (7) (16/1 -33%) Laugh A Minute		16 16/1(-33%)																															(7) Laugh A Minute 16/1, 3-time C&D winner. 66/1, fourteenth of 25 in handicap at this course (6f, good) 13 days ago. Not taken lightly if shrugging off latest effort. Last year's winner out of form of late but down to potentially dangerous mark; rain suits.
13th	12 13th (12) (40/1 -21%) Arnhem		40 40/1(-21%)																															(12) Arnhem 40/1, Course winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 200/1, eighteenth of 25 in handicap at this course (6f, good) 13 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Coming down in the handicap still has a fair bit to find on recent Bold Lad run.
14th	17 14th (17) (125/1 -89%) Step Back In Time		125 125/1(-89%)																															(17) Step Back In Time 125/1, One win from 21 Flat runs. 7/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, good) 54 days ago, slowly away. Difficult ask at these weights. Way out of the handicap here and seemingly no earthly chance.
15th	15 15th (15) (33/1 -230%) Sporting Hero		33 33/1(-230%)																															(15) Sporting Hero 33/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Blinkered for 1st time, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap (12/1) at Navan (5f, good) 7 days ago. One to consider with the headgear retained. Good Navan run last time when blinkered; much stiffer task here from 7lb out of handicap.

From a potentially favourable high draw, KEKE can register the biggest win of his career to date. Having completed a hat-trick when successful over 6f here last month, the Eddie Lynam-trained four-year-old subsequently ran a huge race when a close-up fourth at this track on Champions Weekend. Dropping back to the minimum trip is unlikely to be an issue, especially with the soft ground sure to make this a proper test. Greek Flower, who finished a few places behind the selection in that aforementioned race, has again been done no favours with a low draw. The Johnny Feane-trained filly certainly has the ability to win in this grade, though, with the testing ground a huge positive. Laugh A Minute, who finished second in last year's renewal, shouldn't be discounted under his optimum conditions.

Lots with chances but KEKE comes here at the top of his game and with this drop back to the minimum trip a likely plus he is fanced to quickly resume winning ways. Greek Flower caught the eye when seventh in a big field here last time and heads the list of dangers ahead of Grand City Hall, Ostraka and Rappell.

Bold Lad fourth KEKE gets the vote from a good draw

1	2 1st (2) (5/2 +0%) Apples And Bananas		2.5 5/2(+0%)																															(2) Apples And Bananas 5/2, Useful colt. 1 win from 2 runs this year. Won 6-runner listed race at Deauville (8f, good to soft, 2/1) 42 days ago by ¾ length from Rosa Salvaje. Holds very good form claims. Thriving over 1m recently; drop in trip not in his favour but major claims.
2	1 2nd (1) (9/4 +44%) Antelope Canyon		2.25 9/4(+44%)																															(1) Antelope Canyon 9/4, Took a big step forward to land 11-runner maiden (11/2) at Naas (5.9f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Stable having good spell so he's a player with more to come, especially upped to 7f now. Battled well for Naas maiden win over good yardstick; definite player if he stays.
3	9 3rd (9) (16/1 -78%) Celtic Motif		16 16/1(-78%)																															(9) Celtic Motif 16/1, Twice-raced maiden. 9/2, head third of 16 to Garden of Eden in maiden at Naas (7f, good to soft) 34 days ago (second past the post but subsequently disqualified). Should improve. Considered. Two solid maiden runs at this trip; more needed though.
4	14 4th (14) (9/1 +25%) Valencia		9 9/1(+25%)																															(14) Valencia 9/1, Promising sort. Second of 7 in maiden (11/4) at Leopardstown (8f, good) 72 days ago. Likely to improve so she ought to be in the shake-up. Leopardstown maiden second likely more to offer but drop in trip not ideal.
5th	7 5th (7) (33/1 -50%) Mano Chicago		33 33/1(-50%)																															(7) Mano Chicago 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 8½ lengths last of 5 to Hotazhell in Tyros Stakes at Leopardstown (7.3f, good to soft, 14/1) 65 days ago, slowly away. Possibilities. Gelded since finishing last of five in Group 3 at Leopardstown; stiff task here.
6th	10 6th (10) (16/1 +36%) Diamond Exchange		16 16/1(+36%)																															(10) Diamond Exchange 16/1, €120,000 yearling, Wootton Bassett filly. Dam, 1¼m-12.3f winner. Last of 9 in barrier trial at Leopardstown in August. Low-key effort when last of nine in a barrier trial; big ask on debut.
7th	8 7th (8) (16/1 -60%) American Bar		16 16/1(-60%)																															(8) American Bar 16/1, Twice-raced winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. Winner at Listowel in June. 13¼ lengths last of 9 to Truly Enchanting in Airlie Stud Stakes (5/1) at this course (6f, good to soft). Off 91 days and not ruled out. Given a break after disappointing Group effort here in June; don't rule out.
8th	6 8th (6) (14/1 +58%) Imperial Trooper		14 14/1(+58%)																															(6) Imperial Trooper 14/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Ffos Las in August. 11/4, good second of 9 in nursery at Sandown (7f, good) 28 days ago, well ridden. No forlorn hope. Solid sort but appears to have plenty to find with some of these on ratings.
9th	4 9th (4) (14/1 -100%) Dante's Lad		14 14/1(-100%)																															(4) Dante's Lad 14/1, Twice-raced maiden. Third of 10 in maiden (5/4) at Gowran (7f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Open to progress so in the mix. Two good runs in maidens at this trip, good bit more needed to feature here though.
10th	3 10th (3) (66/1 +34%) Captain Harry		66 66/1(+34%)																															(3) Captain Harry 66/1, Twice-raced maiden. 15/2, seventh of 12 in maiden at Haydock (7f, good) 23 days ago. Lots more is required. Just fair level of ability in two maiden runs; surprising if he were to play a major role.
11th	13 11th (13) (33/1 -18%) Senna's Girl		33 33/1(-18%)																															(13) Senna's Girl 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 14¾ lengths last of 5 to Bedtime Story in Debutante Stakes (80/1) at this C&D (good) 35 days ago. Not discounted. Some promise in maidens but well held in stakes company recently; plenty to find.
12th	11 12th (11) (6/1 -9%) Garden Of Eden		6 6/1(-9%)																															(11) Garden Of Eden 6/1, Lightly-raced winner. Very good ¾-length second of 9 to Chantez in listed race at Leopardstown (7f, good, 25/1) 14 days ago, running on. Yard having good spell. Should go well again. Major claims on recent Leopardstown second although draw doesn't look ideal.
13th	5 13th (5) (40/1 +39%) Evangelic		40 40/1(+39%)																															(5) Evangelic 40/1, Twice-raced maiden. 14/1, good third of 13 in maiden at Newbury (7f, good to firm) 42 days ago. Needs to step forward. Newbury run a small improvement on Sandown debut effort; good bit to find here.
14th	12 14th (12) (33/1 -83%) Noli Timere		33 33/1(-83%)																															(12) Noli Timere 33/1, Foaled April 13. €235,000 yearling, Starspangledbanner filly. Dam, third at around 1¼m, sister to smart winner up to 1½m Pablo Escobarr out of very smart winner up to 7f (2-y-o 5f winner) Bewitched. Starspangledbanner filly cost 235,000euros; debutante faces stiff task.

APPLES AND BANANAS, a recent Listed winner at Deauville, can take this valuable prize for the Joseph O'Brien stable. Having landed his maiden at Killarney on his previous outing, the Wootton Bassett colt looks very much on the upgrade. With an official rating of 100, he sets the standard in this contest. Leopardstown runner-up Garden Of Eden looks the biggest danger on what she has achieved to date. The Aidan O'Brien-trained filly went down narrowly on Champions Weekend, having earlier won her maiden at Naas. Stablemate Antelope Canyon is difficult to assess, having only won a maiden thus far. However, given the manner in which he opened his account at Naas recently, the colt has to be respected.

Aidan O'Brien's No Nay Never colt ANTELOPE CANYON looks to have a fair bit more to offer, especially now his stamina is drawn out more, so he edges the vote from form pick Apples And Bananas who rates a big threat. Garden of Eden and Valencia can also both have a say too in a fascinating Goffs Million.

Apples And Bananas holds the best form credentials but is passed over in favour of ANTELOPE CANYON (nap) at this trip

13	13 (13) (20/1 -43%) Triangle D'or		20 20/1(-43%)																															(13) Triangle D'or 20/1, Twice-raced filly. 9/1, seventh of 9 in maiden at Roscommon (7.5f, heavy) 39 days ago. Needs to take a step forward. Encouraging 3rd on debut but backwards step on testing ground at Roscommon latest.
1	6 1st (6) (9/2 +40%) Just For One Day		4.5 9/2(+40%)																															(6) Just For One Day 9/2, Promising sort. Fourth of 17 in maiden (100/1) at this C&D (good) 35 days ago. Open to improvement so needs considering. Left low-key debut behind when a C&D 4th last month; more required but not ruled out.
2	1 2nd (1) (20/1 -25%) Badda Bing		20 20/1(-25%)																															(1) Badda Bing 20/1, Fair gelding. Remains a maiden after 8 Flat runs. Last of 18 in handicap at Leopardstown (7.1f, good, 25/1) 37 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Consistent before latest run but tough ask back in a maiden; tongue-tie on.
3	4 3rd (4) (125/1 -213%) Court Phoenix		125 125/1(-213%)																															(4) Court Phoenix 125/1, Once-raced gelding. 18/1, last of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (6f) on debut. Off 9 months. Hooded for 1st time. Well held last on AW on debut; off 281 days and hood on for return; gelded.

5th	14 5th (14) (22/1 -38%) Ukiyo		22 22/1(-38%)																															(14) Ukiyo 22/1, Twice-raced filly. Fourth of 8 in maiden at Down Royal (5f, good to firm, 12/1) 22 days ago, never nearer. More is required. Not disgraced in a couple of maidens so far and step back up in trip should suit.
6th	9 6th (9) (4/1 -129%) Emerald Banner		4 4/1(-129%)																															(9) Emerald Banner 4/1, Fairly useful filly. Remains a maiden after 8 Flat runs. Below form fifth of 15 in maiden at Cork (6f, good to firm, 9/2) 64 days ago. Well in the mix if back on her A game. Sets the standard on 2yo form but not at same level this term.
7th	12 7th (12) (9/1 +64%) Penny Mountain		9 9/1(+64%)																															(12) Penny Mountain 9/1, €9,000 yearling, €1,000 2-y-o, Churchill filly. Dam, 2-y-o 5f winner, half-sister to useful 7f/1m winner Full Moon out of useful winner up to 7f (2-y-o 6f/7f winner) Dowager. Churchill filly; re-sold for 1,000euros as a 2yo; likely best watched on debut.
8th	10 8th (10) (18/1 -112%) Many Thanks		18 18/1(-112%)																															(10) Many Thanks 18/1, Thrice-raced filly. Twelfth of 14 in maiden (25/1) at this C&D (heavy). Off 160 days. Promise in 2 maidens last year; may have needed April's return but off another 160 days.
9th	15 9th (15) (11/8 +59%) White Clover		1.375 11/8(+59%)																															(15) White Clover 11/8, Fair filly. Creditable second of 17 in maiden (9/2) at this C&D (good) 35 days ago, no match for winner. Cheekpieces on 1st time and firmly in the picture. Frustrating to follow but consistent with 2 of these just in behind latest; cheekpieces on.
10th	7 10th (7) (50/1 -79%) Life In A Day		50 50/1(-79%)																															(7) Life In A Day 50/1, Once-raced mare. Thirteenth of 17 in maiden at this C&D (good, 25/1) on debut 35 days ago. Was 25-1 when beaten 13l over this C&D last month; speedy pedigree but likely best watched.
11th	2 11th (2) (18/1 -13%) Benji Bee		18 18/1(-13%)																															(2) Benji Bee 18/1, Once-raced gelding. 14/1, eleventh of 17 in maiden at this C&D (good) on debut 35 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. May well do better. Well held in a C&D maiden on debut last month and cheekpieces need to have dramatic effect.

Sixteenth of 20 in maiden (14/1) at this course (5.9f, heavy) on debut, slowly away. Off 11 months. Showed very little in a C&D maiden on debut 11 months ago; gelded ahead of return; big ask.
13th	8 13th (8) (100/1 -257%) Certified Freak		100 100/1(-257%)																															(8) Certified Freak 100/1, Soldier's Call filly.

WHITE CLOVER, who had a number of these behind when runner-up over course and distance last month, can open her account. The Joseph Murphy-trained filly again showed her liking for the track, having run well on two previous visits. Fitted with first-time cheekpieces here, the mount of Gary Carroll has plenty in her favour. Just For One Day, who finished two places behind the selection here last time, is a potential improver on what is just her third start. The Mark Molloy-trained filly is nicely drawn towards the stands' side rail on this occasion. Emerald Banner, a filly who has reached the frame in half of her eight starts to date, has to be respected given her experience.

PANSY POE is proving a reliable sort and looks to have been found a good opportunity to get off the mark at the chief expense of White Clover who is also in-line to get off the mark. Emerald Banner and Just For One Day also enter calculations in this open maiden.

First-time cheekpieces could be the answer for WHITE CLOVER who had a couple of these in behind over C&D last month

Something to find on form. 10-race maiden on the Flat and hasn't shown enough since switching to handicaps.
10th	1 10th (1) (9/1 +44%) Out On Friday		9 9/1(+44%)																															(1) Out On Friday 9/1, Latest win at Roscommon in July. 9/2, fourth of 6 in handicap at Tramore (12f, good to soft) 42 days ago, doing too much too soon. Front runner who gained 7th win in July; may get lead and any rain would be fine.

Tongue strap back on. Makes handicap debut. Improved when a C&D 4th; lesser runs twice since but shorter trip may suit on h'cap bow.

Chicago Storm will have his supporters after scoring over a similar trip at Naas, but a 5lb rise for a neck success leaves him with no margin for error and it could pay to side with NUNC EST BIBENDUM. The selection caught the eye staying on for a good fourth in a 1m maiden last month and should relish the step up in trip for her handicap debut, while an opening mark of 68 looks fair. Forlio ran out of gas late on when making the frame over 1m4f at Roscommon last time and he's another to note now eased in trip.

FORLIO shaped quite well from a poor draw at Roscommon last time and might prove the answer to this student derby. Last month's Naas scorer Chicago Storm rates an obvious danger, while Gordon Elliott's Someone's Wish also enters the reckoning on the back of a recent chase success. Nunc Est Bibendum rates a possible improver in handicaps and completes the shortlist.

FORLIO got back on track with a solid placed effort at Roscommon last month and he won from just a 2lb lower mark earlier this term

Merisi Diamond showed a likeable attitude when scoring over an extended 7f at Roscommon earlier this month and he merits respect in a bid to follow up, although more will be required off a 9lb higher mark. With that in mind, MEHMAN gets the tentative vote. Gerard O'Leary's charge looked tapped for toe at a crucial stage before running on well to finish fourth over 6f at Navan when last seen and, eased 1lb since and tackling 7f for the first time, this may be the day to catch him. Chicago Fireball and Genuine Article are a couple of others to consider in a wide-open finale.

MEHMAN is back on a good mark and is taken to strike in this finale after shaping quite well at Navan last time. Billy Lee is back on last month's course scorer Imperial Dream and Paul Flynn's 4-y-o may give the selection most to do ahead of Genuine Article and Merisi Diamond.

With the potential of an uncontested lead for VERHOYEN, he ought go well back at his favourite venue from below his last winning mark

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.
