1	7 1st (7) (3.33/1 +49%) Tiscommonknowledge		3.33 3.33/1(+49%)																															(7) Tiscommonknowledge 3.33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Second of 13 in nursery at Naas (8f, good to soft, 20/1) 47 days ago, keeping on well. Solid each-way claims. First attempt at this trip brought about significant improvement at Naas, big chance.
2	2 2nd (2) (8.5/1 -31%) Mo Ghille Mar		8.5 8.5/1(-31%)																															(2) Mo Ghille Mar 8.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 13 in minor event at Naas (7f, heavy, 28/1) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Needs to bounce back. Went close in a C&D maiden; out of her depth at Naas last time; headgear fitted.
3	1 3rd (1) (2.25/1 +18%) Rapid Mission		2.25 2.25/1(+18%)																															(1) Rapid Mission 2.25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 3/1, good second of 9 in maiden at Tipperary (9f, heavy) 30 days ago, slowly away. Makes handicap debut. Expected to be bang there. Beaten 4l by a promising newcomer at Tipperary last time, opening mark looks fair enough.
4	4 4th (4) (11/1 +8%) Sinbad My Dad		11 11/1(+8%)																															(4) Sinbad My Dad 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Good seventh of 13 in maiden (50/1) at Dundalk (8f) 4 days ago. Makes handicap debut and not without each-way hope. Couple of creditable runs on testing ground; not beaten far in AW maiden; handicap debut.
5th	6 5th (6) (16/1 -113%) Guest Star		16 16/1(-113%)																															(6) Guest Star 16/1, Very good second of 11 in nursery at Gowran (7f, heavy, 9/1) 14 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Engaged 1.40 Galway Monday. Second and fifth in 7f heavy ground nurseries at Gowran and Galway.
6th	9 6th (9) (11/1 +0%) Highland Bells		11 11/1(+0%)																															(9) Highland Bells 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 15/2, good 4¾ lengths fourth of 9 to Expecto in nursery at Gowran (8.3f, heavy) 15 days ago. Clearly has work to do. Competing from 3lb out of the handicap, has a bit to find with Expecto on Gowran running.
7th	3 7th (3) (12/1 +45%) Ringside Timing		12 12/1(+45%)																															(3) Ringside Timing 12/1, 28/1, seventh of 8 in maiden at Tipperary (9f, good to soft) 58 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Yard saddles a stronger candidate in Expecto. No evidence of progress since third at the Galway festival but has kept good company.
8th	5 8th (5) (13/2 +19%) Navajo Scout		6.5 13/2(+19%)																															(5) Navajo Scout 13/2, Lightly-raced maiden. 22/1, creditable fifth of 16 in maiden at this course (9f, soft) 24 days ago. Makes handicap debut. May struggle to reverse Tipperary form with Rapid Mission despite being 10lb better off.
9th	8 9th (8) (15/2 -88%) Expecto		7.5 15/2(-88%)																															(8) Expecto 15/2, Career best when winning 9-runner nursery (7/1) at Gowran (8.3f, heavy) 15 days ago, sticking to task. 6 lb rise fair and should be in the mix. Showed a liking for heavy ground when winning at Gowran despite rider's loss of an iron.

LTO Selection:

TISCOMMONKNOWLEDGE ran her best race to date when finishing second behind a progressive rival at Naas last month. The Padraig Roche-trained filly is open to improvement on just her second appearance over a mile, and Wayne Hassett's 7lb claim may prove crucial. Rapid Mission makes his nursery bow off what looks a fair opening mark and the son of Frankel is feared most, ahead of Navajo Scout, who should have more to offer entering this sphere too.

EXPECTO raised her game when digging deep to land a Gowran nursery earlier this month and a 6 lb rise looks fair given that the first two pulled nicely clear of the rest. With similar conditions forecast here, she is taken to follow up. Rapid Mission has shown enough in maidens to suggest that he'll be competitive off this mark now pitched into a nursery, and he is feared most ahead of Tiscommonknowledge.

Having shown notable improvement at Naas, TISCOMMONKNOWLEDGE may account for recent Gowran winner Expecto and Rapid Mission

1	17 1st (17) (5/2 +69%) Merisi Diamond		2.5 5/2(+69%)																															(17) Merisi Diamond 5/2, Promising individual. 10/1, 3½ lengths fifth of 19 to Blue Peak in handicap at this C&D (soft) 19 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. May well do better. Good C&D fifth to Blue Peak having travelled strongly; 3lb wrong here; tongue-tie.
2	3 2nd (3) (5/1 -11%) Blue Peak		5 5/1(-11%)																															(3) Blue Peak 5/1, Career best when winning 19-runner handicap at this C&D (soft, 16/5) 19 days ago by ½ length from Breezy Zoff. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Recent C&D winner up 7lb so career-best now needed.
3	1 3rd (1) (9/2 +0%) Breezy Zoff		4.5 9/2(+0%)																															(1) Breezy Zoff 9/2, C&D winner. One win from 23 Flat runs. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 11/2, good ½-length second of 19 to Blue Peak in handicap at this C&D (soft) 19 days ago. Last year's winner and recent C&D second to Blue Peak puts her right in the mix.
4	2 4th (2) (11/1 -69%) Zephron		11 11/1(-69%)																															(2) Zephron 11/1, Course winner. Latest win at Cork in September. Bit below form 6¼ lengths sixth of 19 to Blue Peak in handicap (4/1) at this C&D (soft) 19 days ago. Likes heavy but good bit to find with several of these on recent C&D run.
5th	12 5th (12) (17/2 +39%) Tall Story		8.5 17/2(+39%)																															(12) Tall Story 17/2, Remains a maiden after 30 Flat runs. Creditable fourth of 19 in handicap at this C&D (soft, 11/1) 19 days ago. 30-race maiden comes here on the back of good C&D fourth but more required off same mark.
6th	18 6th (18) (18/1 -29%) Singe Anglais		18 18/1(-29%)																															(18) Singe Anglais 18/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. Eleventh of 14 in handicap (13/2) at Dundalk (7f) 11 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Looks competitive on form. Second on soft at Naas in July and beaten 5l when seventh of 19 over C&D two starts back.
7th	4 7th (4) (28/1 -180%) Trueba		28 28/1(-180%)																															(4) Trueba 28/1, Course winner. Latest win at Cork in August. 6/1, below form fifth of 14 in handicap at Bellewstown (7.8f, heavy) 34 days ago. Visor back on. Can make presence felt. Didn't get home over a mile on heavy at Bellewstown latest; ideally wants better ground.
8th	10 8th (10) (12/1 -50%) Navorrosse		12 12/1(-50%)																															(10) Navorrosse 12/1, Won 22-runner handicap at Navan (5.8f, heavy, 20/1) 13 days ago. Back up in trip. Heading back in the right direction recently. Last week's Navan win over inadequate trip augurs well but far side draw a negative.
9th	20 9th (20) (14/1 +58%) Tiktok Time		14 14/1(+58%)																															(20) Tiktok Time 14/1, Bit below form fourth of 14 in handicap at Gowran (8.3f, heavy, 11/2) 14 days ago, left with lot to do. Engaged 2.50 Galway Monday. Yet to be placed from 10 starts but can't be ruled out.
10th	5 10th (5) (40/1 -21%) Wild Mountain		40 40/1(-21%)																															(5) Wild Mountain 40/1, Last of 12 in handicap (50/1) at Leopardstown (7.1f, heavy) 9 days ago, left poorly placed. Blinkers on 1st time. Uphill task. Fourth over 7f on heavy ground at Down Royal but finished last at Leopardstown; blinkers.
11th	15 11th (15) (66/1 +0%) Captured		66 66/1(+0%)																															(15) Captured 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 16 in maiden at Limerick (8f, soft, 250/1). Off 6 months. Makes handicap debut. Ran okay after huge layoff when seventh in Limerick maiden in April; handicap debut.
12th	6 12th (6) (33/1 +50%) Bright Image		33 33/1(+50%)																															(6) Bright Image 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 28/1, below form ninth of 16 in handicap at Cork (6f, soft) 35 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Others more persuasive. Mid-division on handicap debut at Cork (6f soft/heavy); better for that outing; tongue-tie.
13th	13 13th (13) (33/1 +50%) Almost An Angel		33 33/1(+50%)																															(13) Almost An Angel 33/1, Unreliable sort. Bit below form eighth of 15 in handicap at Listowel (8f, soft, 40/1) 40 days ago. Mildly encouraging Listowel run on latest but not enough to warrant an interest in here.
14th	16 14th (16) (50/1 -25%) Lily Like		50 50/1(-25%)																															(16) Lily Like 50/1, Remains a maiden after 23 Flat runs. 14/1, twelfth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (8f). Off 111 days. Well held at Dundalk latest and of limited appeal back on turf though well-drawn.
15th	11 15th (11) (25/1 +24%) Roman Palace		25 25/1(+24%)																															(11) Roman Palace 25/1, 33/1, third of 13 in handicap at Thurles (8f, soft) 26 days ago. Improvement at Thurles recently but not sure if this drop in trip is what she wants.
16th	9 16th (9) (12/1 -100%) Master Garvey		12 12/1(-100%)																															(9) Master Garvey 12/1, Good second of 15 in handicap (11/2) at Limerick (8f, good), not ideally placed. Off 130 days. Shortlist material. A 3yo maiden back from four months' absence and has form on heavy so don't rule out.
17th	14 17th (14) (50/1 -25%) Ballybeg Boy		50 50/1(-25%)																															(14) Ballybeg Boy 50/1, First run since leaving Mervyn Torrens when cheekpieces on for 1st time, unseated rider in handicap (22/1) at Navan (10f, good to soft) 59 days ago. Down in trip. Visored for 1st time. Modest maiden reared up and unseated rider at start last time; visor tried; 6lb wrong.
18th	8 18th (8) (50/1 -52%) Gegenpressing		50 50/1(-52%)																															(8) Gegenpressing 50/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Seventeenth of 19 in handicap at this course (6f, soft, 18/1) 24 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Enters calculations. Yet to score this campaign, despite declining mark; others look more likely.
19th	7 19th (7) (33/1 -175%) The Penny		33 33/1(-175%)																															(7) The Penny 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 11/2, seventh of 10 in maiden at Laytown (7f). Off 13 months. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Absent for 13 months and hard to fancy on handicap debut in first-time cheekpieces.
20th	19 20th (19) (40/1 -21%) Sunday Evening		40 40/1(-21%)																															(19) Sunday Evening 40/1, 50/1, good third of 14 in handicap at Gowran (8.3f, heavy) 14 days ago. Showed more on testing ground of late but still more likely required here (3lb wrong).

LTO Selection:

---

Breezy Zoff has been knocking on the door of late and could prove to be the main threat to MASTER GARVEY, who was only beaten a head at Limerick in June, despite being hampered, and races off 2lb lower here. Navorrosse also makes the shortlist after her recent Navan success, alongside Merisi Diamond who is beginning to look well-handicapped, making him worthy of a market watch despite the competitive nature of this contest.

This could be the day when MASTER GARVEY deservedly gets his head in front. Indeed, he has been knocking on the door of late and wasn't ideally placed when narrowly failing at Limerick on his latest start in June. Merisi Diamond was behind Blue Peak and Breezy Zoff over C&D 19 days ago, but he fared much the best of those drawn low that day and, with just 4 runs under his belt, he probably remains capable of better. Joanna Morgan's representative is feared most.

Several of these ran in a C&D handicap in which Blue Peak beat Breezy Zoff; fifth home MERISI DIAMOND may prove a bit of value

1	4 1st (4) (10/3 +0%) Alalcance		3.333333 10/3(+0%)																															(4) Alalcance 10/3, Thrice-raced filly who found some improvement when close second of 12 in maiden at Bellewstown (12.1f, good, 9/2) 63 days ago. Holds strong claims. Useful placed form, suited by some ease, can go close if handling heavy ground.
2	14 2nd (14) (13/8 +19%) Time To Tell		1.625 13/8(+19%)																															(14) Time To Tell 13/8, Promising type. Second of 20 in maiden at this C&D (soft, 28/1) on debut 19 days ago under this rider. Stable in good form. Should progress. Kept on for second behind a Ballydoyle colt in a 20-runner C&D maiden, good chance.
3	9 3rd (9) (22/1 +0%) Johanna Whitty		22 22/1(+0%)																															(9) Johanna Whitty 22/1, €22,000 yearling, Teofilo filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart/ungenuine winner up to 7f Leitir Mor and useful 7f winner Intensical. Dam unraced. Half-sister to five winners notably the stable's dual 6f/7f Group 3 winner Leitr Mor.
4	7 4th (7) (4/1 +0%) Hey Whatever		4 4/1(+0%)																															(7) Hey Whatever 4/1, Fair filly. 5/1 and blinkered for 1st time, creditable second of 9 in maiden at Killarney (11.2f, heavy) 31 days ago. One to consider. Split two joint-favourites when second on heavy ground at Killarney, should go close.
5th	6 5th (6) (6/1 +33%) Diyaba		6 6/1(+33%)																															(6) Diyaba 6/1, Lightly-raced filly. 12/1, good fourth of 9 in maiden at Killarney (11.2f, heavy) 31 days ago. Finished behind Alalcance at Belllewstown, has improved since then, place possibility.
6th	5 6th (5) (14/1 -17%) Delicate Girl		14 14/1(-17%)																															(5) Delicate Girl 14/1, Fairly useful filly. Thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (12f, 18/1) 18 days ago. Yard having good spell. Blinkers on 1st time. Indicated maiden-winning potential with three solid runs before two poor displays.
7th	11 7th (11) (12/1 +33%) Only In Dreams		12 12/1(+33%)																															(11) Only In Dreams 12/1, Once-raced filly. Tenth of 12 in maiden (12/1) at Leopardstown (12f, good) on debut. Off 165 days. Stable having good spell. Ran green on debut in May, stablemates Time To Tell and Delicate Girl have better claims.
8th	13 8th (13) (33/1 -83%) Struck By Churchil		33 33/1(-83%)																															(13) Struck By Churchil 33/1, Once-raced filly. 40/1, ninth of 15 in maiden at this course (10f, good) on debut 79 days ago. Shaped as if she might improve at this trip on her introduction over 1m2f here in August.
9th	3 9th (3) (33/1 -32%) Mollys Glory		33 33/1(-32%)																															(3) Mollys Glory 33/1, Fairly useful winner at 16f in bumpers. Eighth of 10 in maiden (12/1) at Thurles (16f, soft) on flat debut 26 days ago. Down in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Bumper winner with fair hurdles form, in rear over 2m at Thurles on belated Flat debut.
10th	12 10th (12) (20/1 -67%) Promises To Keep		20 20/1(-67%)																															(12) Promises To Keep 20/1, Twice-raced filly. Eleventh of 12 in maiden (4/1) at Cork (12f, good to soft) 62 days ago. Very disappointing 4-1 chance on return in a 1m4f maiden at Cork, hard to be confident.
11th	10 11th (10) (200/1 -100%) Marians Gal		200 200/1(-100%)																															(10) Marians Gal 200/1, Twice-raced filly. 200/1, eighth of 12 in maiden at Gowran (9.4f, heavy) 14 days ago. Up in trip. Beaten a long way in two maidens on heavy ground and handicaps beckon after this.
12th	8 12th (8) (200/1 -150%) Irredentist		200 200/1(-150%)																															(8) Irredentist 200/1, Once-raced filly. Last of 7 in maiden (20/1) at Killarney (8.1f, heavy) on debut 31 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Always at the back in a 1m maiden at Killarney on debut; others preferred.
13th	2 13th (2) (200/1 -150%) Marys Call		200 200/1(-150%)																															(2) Marys Call 200/1, 200/1, thirteenth of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (10.7f) on flat debut 4 days ago. Well beaten in a bumper and Dundalk maiden; look elsewhere.
14th	1 14th (1) (200/1 -100%) Dugort Bay		200 200/1(-100%)																															(1) Dugort Bay 200/1, Well held in bumpers/maiden hurdles. Little sign of ability in bumpers and hurdles; look elsewhere.

LTO Selection:

---

Alalcance sets the standard with an official rating of 77 and is unlikely to be far away, having been narrowly denied at Bellewstown in August. Diyaba and Hey Whatever both have the form to figure and must enter the reckoning too, but preference is for TIME TO TELL. A daughter of Australia and a half-sister to the useful Midnight Flower, she finished a good second over C&D on her debut and is expected to go one better with improvement in the offing.

ALALCANCE went very close in a Bellewstown maiden that threw up winners when last seen in August and gets the vote. Hey Whatever and Time To Tell are other key players.

Preference is for TIME TO TELL(nap), a promising second against colts on her debut over C&D.

1	3 1st (3) (4/6 -34%) Helvic Dream		0.666667 4/6(-34%)																															(3) Helvic Dream 4/6, Group 1 winner here in 2021. Winless since but placed at Group 3/listed level on his last 2 outings and should prove a very tough nut to crack here. Group 1 winner at this venue in 2021 and by far the most likely winner on current form.
2	1 2nd (1) (7/4 +42%) Coeur Sublime		1.75 7/4(+42%)																															(1) Coeur Sublime 7/4, Smart chaser who made a successful Flat debut at Navan in April 2018. Made it 2-2 on the Flat when taking a conditions race at Listowel last month. Should go well but tough ask conceding weight to Helvic Dream. Talented jumper, made it two from two on Flat with 1m6f Listowel win, place chance here.
3	2 3rd (2) (4/1 +71%) Lord Erskine		4 4/1(+71%)																															(2) Lord Erskine 4/1, Fairly useful gelding. Course winner in September.

Tenth of 15 in handicap hurdle (66/1) at Galway (16f, heavy) 2 days ago. Fair on the Flat, bit below form on last Flat outing.Hard to make a case for. Useful hurdler but a maiden in this sphere and faces a tough task.
5th	4 5th (4) (50/1 +0%) Kottayam		50 50/1(+0%)																															(4) Kottayam 50/1, Fairly useful bumper/Flat winner during his time with Willie Mullins but has struggled on the Flat this year. Bumper winner and 2m Flat winner for Willie Mullins, fair C&D handicap run on stable debut.

Significantly up in trip. Hurdle winner but beaten a long way in a Leopardstown Flat maiden recently.
9th	11 9th (11) (300/1 -200%) Encore De Mer		300 300/1(-200%)																															(11) Encore De Mer 300/1, Hooded for 1st time, first run since leaving J. G. Murray when fifteenth of 16 in handicap at this C&D (soft, 100/1) 24 days ago. Never better than sixth in six outings, faces an unenviable task at these weights.
10th	12 10th (12) (300/1 -200%) Power To Love		300 300/1(-200%)																															(12) Power To Love 300/1, Eleventh of 13 in maiden (250/1) at Fairyhouse (7f, good to soft) 43 days ago, folding. Significantly back up in trip. First run for yard after leaving G. A. Kingston. Maiden is rated only 40 on turf and has no chance in this company.

Off 102 days. Significantly up in trip. Modest on the Flat, below form on last Flat outing. Has been struggling over hurdles since his last Flat run, makes no appeal on overall form.

LTO Selection:

The booking of Patrick Mullins for HELVIC DREAM catches the eye and this former Group 1 winner sets a lofty standard on both form and ratings. This will be only his second attempt at the distance but he should be suited by it, along with testing ground conditions. A comfortable winner over further at Listowel on his most recent outing, classy jumper Coeur Sublime can have a big say in proceedings, while the unexposed Sugaree and the veteran Lord Erskine are also respected.

This looks an excellent opportunity for HELVIC DREAM to land a first success since the 2021 Tattersalls Gold Cup. Classy chaser Coeur Sublime showed he's also useful on the Flat when scoring at Listowel last month and can follow the selection home.

As a Group 1 winner who has run creditably in stakes races on his last two starts, HELVIC DREAM is a cut above these rivals.

4	2 4th (2) (10/1 -25%) Bridge Of Dawn		10 10/1(-25%)																															(2) Bridge Of Dawn 10/1, Creditable second of 13 in handicap at Gowran (11.8f, heavy, 5/1) 14 days ago. Enters calculations. Solid efforts in defeat lately but has raced keenly and will have to settle better.
5th	7 5th (7) (18/1 -50%) Team Of Firsts		18 18/1(-50%)																															(7) Team Of Firsts 18/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Bit below form sixth of 11 in handicap at Naas (10.5f, heavy, 9/1) 16 days ago. Chance on old form. Two wins for Ger Lyons in 2021 came on heavy; not at that level now mixing with hurdles.
6th	1 6th (1) (18/1 +10%) New Hill		18 18/1(+10%)																															(1) New Hill 18/1, Twenty one runs since last win in 2021. 10/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at Leopardstown (10f, heavy) 9 days ago, unable to sustain effort.

Cheekpieces back on. Was 2nd in a 1m1f Tipperary handicap but too keen with blinkers over 1m4f at Bellewstown.
8th	10 8th (10) (14/1 +30%) Inchiquin Maid		14 14/1(+30%)																															(10) Inchiquin Maid 14/1, Good fourth of 16 in handicap (16/1) at Gowran (11.8f, heavy) 15 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Close 4th at Gowran last week over 1m4f; might find this trip a bit short but a player.
9th	4 9th (4) (25/1 -56%) Douglas Dc		25 25/1(-56%)																															(4) Douglas Dc 25/1, Seventh of 8 in novice chase at Downpatrick (19.2f, good, 16/1) on debut over fences 64 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Looks competitive on form. Hurdle winner is a maiden in six Flat starts but some decent runs, including at this track.
10th	17 10th (17) (10/1 +0%) Giselles Defence		10 10/1(+0%)																															(17) Giselles Defence 10/1, Creditable fourth of 14 in handicap (9/1) at this C&D (soft) 19 days ago. Was 4th over C&D last time in similar conditions; should run well down 1lb.
11th	8 11th (8) (20/1 -43%) Fashion Flair		20 20/1(-43%)																															(8) Fashion Flair 20/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 9/1, seventh of 11 in maiden at Listowel (8f, soft) 40 days ago. Up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Likely to improve. Beaten 6l in a Listowel maiden last month; should have improved from that and be a player.
12th	15 12th (15) (33/1 -106%) Slamadoor		33 33/1(-106%)																															(15) Slamadoor 33/1, Latest win at Gowran in August. Sixth of 16 in novice hurdle (18/1) at Fairyhouse (16f, soft) on NH debut 29 days ago. Won a Gowran handicap in August but was way below that level next time; ground a question.
13th	14 13th (14) (16/1 -60%) Patrick Street		16 16/1(-60%)																															(14) Patrick Street 16/1, Latest win at Navan in October. Good second of 16 in handicap (5/1) at Gowran (9.4f, heavy) 15 days ago, no match for winner. Probably found 7f too short last time and could do better at this trip.
14th	11 14th (11) (6/1 +14%) La Dame Blanche		6 6/1(+14%)																															(11) La Dame Blanche 6/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 7/1 and hooded for 1st time, creditable second of 11 in handicap at Naas (10.5f, heavy) 16 days ago.

Respectable seventh of 13 in handicap at Down Royal (10.3f, good to firm, 10/3) 53 days ago, finding less than looked likely. Others more persuasive. Some decent runs in defeat this year; a lesser effort last time but possibilities.
17th	13 17th (13) (28/1 -100%) Magic Charm		28 28/1(-100%)																															(13) Magic Charm 28/1, Course winner. Latest win here in September. Creditable fifth of 16 in handicap at Gowran (9.4f, heavy, 7/1) 15 days ago, running on. Has work to do. His second win came over 1m at this track last month; more needed off this mark.
18th	19 18th (19) (33/1 +0%) Catwalk Couture		33 33/1(+0%)																															(19) Catwalk Couture 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 12 in maiden (28/1) at Gowran (9.4f, heavy) 14 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Beaten 18l at Gowran last time; will need more even dropped into handicap company.
19th	12 19th (12) (28/1 -12%) Awqaat		28 28/1(-12%)																															(12) Awqaat 28/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, respectable fifth of 16 in handicap at Gowran (9.4f, heavy, 10/1) 15 days ago. Beaten nearly 5l at Gowran last week and has to find more off the same mark.
6	6 |DQ| (6) (7/2 +30%) Alfalfa		3.5 7/2(+30%)																															(6) Alfalfa 7/2, Winner at Thurles in October. Good third of 11 in handicap at Naas (10.5f, heavy, 7/4) 16 days ago, faring best of those held up. Trainer going well. Should continue to give a good account. Won over 1m4f and solid 3rd over approx 1m2f; same mark today and should run well.

LTO Selection:

---

This is a wide-open contest and only a tentative vote goes to STORMY JENN, who has slipped to a fair mark and was noted staying on well over an inadequate 1m here last month. She should appreciate the extra yardage, but so will handicap debutant Catwalk Couture and the in-form Patrick Street. Bridge Of Dawn and La Dame Blanche arrive on the back of encouraging second-placed finishes and they are also respected.

Michael Mulvany has his team in form so LA DAME BLANCHE gets the nod to build on her back-to-form second at Naas earlier in the month. Alfalfa was narrowly behind the selection at Naas and is second choice ahead of Bridge of Dawn and Patrick Street.

An unexposed sort with just three maiden runs, FASHION FLAIR might be able to improve enough from her comeback to land this.

Return to further rates a plus. Smart hurdler should have improved from her comeback Flat run over 1m4f here; big player.
16	16 (16) (5/1 +77%) Make Good		5 5/1(+77%)																															(16) Make Good 5/1, Below form 12¼ lengths seventh of 13 to Nostra Casa in handicap at Thurles (16f, soft, 5/1) 26 days ago. Entitled to be sharper with that run under his belt but he hasn't stood much racing in recent seasons. Grade 2 hurdle winner in 2020 but only two Flat runs since; can improve from comeback run.
15	15 (15) (7/2 +13%) Ellaat		3.5 7/2(+13%)																															(15) Ellaat 7/2, 4/1, career best when winning 16-runner handicap at Gowran (11.8f, heavy) 15 days ago, driven out. That may not prove his limit for this yard and interesting back up in trip. Back on track when winning on heavy at Gowran last week; a player off 6lb higher.
13	13 (13) (11/1 +21%) Rain		11 11/1(+21%)																															(13) Rain 11/1, Good third of 21 in handicap at Navan (14f, heavy, 14/1) 13 days ago, ridden from 2f out and staying on. Needs to back that up now. Won in France last year and some decent efforts in defeat here; can go well.
14	14 (14) (11/1 +45%) Paradise Lost		11 11/1(+45%)																															(14) Paradise Lost 11/1, 8/1, good 2½ lengths fifth of 16 to Ellaat in handicap at Gowran (11.8f, heavy) 15 days ago, never nearer. Merits consideration. Solid return to the Flat behind Ellaat at Gowran last time and can be involved.
12	12 (12) (12/1 -50%) Firm Belief		12 12/1(-50%)																															(12) Firm Belief 12/1, 16/1, career best when winning 20-runner handicap at Navan (14f, heavy) 13 days ago by 2½ lengths from Folly Beach, keeping on well. Worth considering in follow-up bid despite 10 lb hike in the weights. Won well at Navan over this trip; got a 10lb hike for that but has hit form, so respected.
18	18 (18) (14/1 +30%) Master Dunraven		14 14/1(+30%)																															(18) Master Dunraven 14/1, Well-beaten eleventh of 13 to Nostra Casa in handicap at Thurles (16f, soft, 10/1) 26 days ago. Others more persuasive. Some decent efforts in defeat but has to bounce back from a poor Thurles run.
1	1 (1) (17/2 -42%) Nostra Casa		8.5 17/2(-42%)																															(1) Nostra Casa 17/2, 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Career best when winning 13-runner handicap (5/1) at Thurles (16f, soft) 26 days ago, responding well. Not yet fully exposed as a stayer and he's worth considering again. Won at Thurles over 2m last time, with two solid efforts in between; up 8lb but go close.
21	21 (21) (18/1 +28%) Ricky Bobby		18 18/1(+28%)																															(21) Ricky Bobby 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. 4¾ lengths sixth of 16 to Ellaat in handicap at Gowran (11.8f, heavy, 33/1) 15 days ago, suited by way race developed. Reserve 1. Hurdle winner was beaten 5l by Ellaat at Gowran last time; longer trip a help; reserve.
7	7 (7) (20/1 +0%) Plains Indian		20 20/1(+0%)																															(7) Plains Indian 20/1, Useful jumps winner who wasn't disgraced when fourth of 16 in handicap (16/1) at this course (12f, soft) 24 days ago, outpaced 3f out and making late headway. Step up in trip a plus on that evidence. Has run respectably a few times on the Flat this year, including over 1m4f here last time.
5	5 (5) (22/1 -57%) Killeemore Lad		22 22/1(-57%)																															(5) Killeemore Lad 22/1, Creditable 5 lengths third of 13 to Nostra Casa in handicap (25/1) at Thurles (16f, soft) 26 days ago, finishing with running left. Not out of things on the back of that. Was 5l behind Nostra Casa at Thurles last time; is 6lb better off with that rival today.

Fair on the Flat, respectable on last Flat outing. Looks competitive on form. Engaged 4.00 Galway Monday. Dual-purpose maiden has been running well enough but needs to find more.
19	19 (19) (22/1 +21%) Rodney Bay		22 22/1(+21%)																															(19) Rodney Bay 22/1, 9/1, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, soft) 24 days ago. Largely consistent in this sphere and not underestimated from this sort of mark. Close 3rd at Galway before disappointing at Down Royal; decent hurdle run since.
3	3 (3) (25/1 -194%) Beautiful Chaos		25 25/1(-194%)																															(3) Beautiful Chaos 25/1, Twelfth of 16 in handicap at this course (12f, soft, 11/2) 24 days ago, the run best excused with her rider losing iron early. Had been knocking on the door previously and no surprise to see her thereabouts. Forgiven a poor run here last time when the jockey's stirrup leathers broke; be involved.
11	11 (11) (33/1 -230%) Penny Jar		33 33/1(-230%)																															(11) Penny Jar 33/1, Fair winner at 22f over hurdles. Thrice-raced maiden on Flat, third of 5 in maiden at Killarney (11.2f, heavy) 31 days ago. Switch to handicaps rates a plus now and interesting what the market makes of him upped in trip with Colin Keane an eye-catching booking. Triple hurdle winner last year has run respectably in three Flat maidens this term.
4	4 (4) (40/1 -100%) Yamalia Star		40 40/1(-100%)																															(4) Yamalia Star 40/1, Last of 7 in handicap (17/2) at Naas (10.5f, heavy) 16 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Others more persuasive. Just denied over over 1m3f at Killarney; questions after was tailed-off at Naas since.
9	9 (9) (50/1 -25%) Three Comets		50 50/1(-25%)																															(9) Three Comets 50/1, 80/1, below form tenth of 19 in handicap at Galway (16.5f, good to soft) 90 days ago, slowly away. Cheekpieces back on. Won over 2m at Thurles last year off 1lb lower but hasn't repeated that form since.
6	6 (6) (66/1 -450%) Peddler's Lane		66 66/1(-450%)																															(6) Peddler's Lane 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 125/1, fourteenth of 20 in maiden at this course (12f, soft) 19 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Of interest if market support on handicap debut with blinkers added.
10	10 (10) (80/1 -142%) Red Secret		80 80/1(-142%)																															(10) Red Secret 80/1, Dual AW winner for Ed Dunlop earlier in career but absent since finishing well beaten over hurdles at Fairyhouse for present stable 21 months ago. Can only be watched here. Dual AW winner was unplaced in three maiden hurdles when last seen; can only be watched.
8	8 (8) (150/1 -275%) Play The Game		150 150/1(-275%)																															(8) Play The Game 150/1, Seventh of 9 in handicap chase (16/1) at Downpatrick (17.8f, good) 64 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Fair on the Flat, below form on last Flat run. Has had just two starts this year and was poor over fences last time; others preferred.

LTO Selection:

---

Runner-up in Grade 1 company over hurdles last season, WHATCOULDHAVEBEEN is a talented sort to be switched to the level and she is entitled to improve from her recent return here over shorter. The five-year-old triumphed on heavy ground at Galway this time last year and she is preferred to the progressive Nostra Casa and Beautiful Chaos, who has been narrowly denied on two of her last three outings. Others to note include Ellaat and Rain.

ELLAAT confirmed the promise of his previous run over hurdles when opening his account for present connections at Gowran (11.8f) 2 weeks ago, well suited by the emphasis on stamina. He's fancied to go well again back up in trip, with Nostra Casa and Beautiful Chaos others to consider. Firm Belief and Killeemore Lad complete the shortlist.

Smart hurdler WHATCOULDHAVEBEEN could take this with improvement likely from her comeback run here last time.

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.
