15	15 (15) (33/1 +0%) Darcy's Rock		33 33/1(+0%)																															(15) Darcy's Rock 33/1, Below form ninth of 15 in handicap (28/1) at Bellewstown (7.9f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Significantly down in trip. RESERVE Promising return but struggled since; shorter trip and on testing ground may help; reserve.
14	14 (14) (40/1 +0%) Jim's Cracker		40 40/1(+0%)																															(14) Jim's Cracker 40/1, Thirteenth of 15 in handicap (40/1) at Bellewstown (7.9f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Significantly down in trip. RESERVE Some promise for Karl Burke but shown nothing for this yard since; reserve.
1	11 1st (11) (7/1 +56%) Spirit Of Eagles		7 7/1(+56%)																															(11) Spirit Of Eagles 7/1, 14/1, good third of 12 in handicap at this C&D (good) 35 days ago. One for the shortlist. 0-8; career best over C&D latest but may not want soft ground this time.
2	6 2nd (6) (4.5/1 +25%) Eruption		4.5 4.5/1(+25%)																															(6) Eruption 4.5/1, One win from 21 Flat runs. 12/1, head second of 15 to Zig Zag Zyggy in handicap at Bellewstown (5f, good to soft) 21 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Solid claims. 1-21 but major bounce back to form when beaten a head latest; handles conditions.
3	2 3rd (2) (50/1 -52%) Art Of Unity		50 50/1(-52%)																															(2) Art Of Unity 50/1, Last of 23 in handicap (33/1) at Naas (5f, good to firm) 30 days ago. Looked regressive in recent times and beaten 22l latest.
4	10 4th (10) (8/1 +0%) Sister Lola		8 8/1(+0%)																															(10) Sister Lola 8/1, Thirty four runs since last win in 2021. Off 4 months before eleventh of 14 in handicap at Bellewstown (7.9f, good to soft, 12/1) 22 days ago. Significantly back down in trip and weighted to have a say. Best form on AW; may have needed return earlier in the month but seemingly needs further.
5th	9 5th (9) (6.5/1 +7%) Peerless		6.5 6.5/1(+7%)																															(9) Peerless 6.5/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2021. 11/1, creditable second of 18 in handicap at Fairyhouse (6f, good) 57 days ago. Stable in good form. Chance on old form. Distant 2nd latest in 18-runner h'cap but wants quicker ground than this.
6th	3 6th (3) (11/1 +45%) Ever Rock		11 11/1(+45%)																															(3) Ever Rock 11/1, C&D winner. 20/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, 6¾ lengths tenth of 15 to Zig Zag Zyggy in handicap at Bellewstown (5f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Every chance if back to best. Won twice last term; really struggled in 4 starts in 2023; cheekpieces did nothing latest.
7th	7 7th (7) (12/1 -33%) Pulse Of Shanghai		12 12/1(-33%)																															(7) Pulse Of Shanghai 12/1, C&D winner. Ninth of 14 in handicap at Limerick (6.7f, good to soft, 25/1) 44 days ago. Back down in trip. Thirty runs since last win in 2021. Losing run since AW success in March 2021; C&D winner but gone off the boil lately.
8th	5 8th (5) (20/1 +20%) Soyounique		20 20/1(+20%)																															(5) Soyounique 20/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 16/1, tenth of 16 in handicap at Fairyhouse (7f, good) 16 days ago. Back down in trip. 0-12 since leaving Brittain; best form is over further; hard to recommend.
9th	8 9th (8) (4.5/1 +25%) Zig Zag Zyggy		4.5 4.5/1(+25%)																															(8) Zig Zag Zyggy 4.5/1, Won 15-runner handicap (14/1) at Bellewstown (5f, good to soft) 21 days ago by head from Scarlet Dancer. Ought to be in the shake-up again. Got up late when bouncing back to form latest; still well treated but worst of the draw.
10th	4 10th (4) (3/1 -20%) Scarlet Dancer		3 3/1(-20%)																															(4) Scarlet Dancer 3/1, One win from 33 Flat runs. Blinkered for 1st time, unlucky head second of 15 to Zig Zag Zyggy in handicap at Bellewstown (5f, good to soft, 2/1) 21 days ago, closing all way to line after being denied a clear run late on. Big shout. 1-33; knocking on the door lately and only beaten a head latest but may want better ground.

LTO Selection:

A 3lb drop in the ratings for PEERLESS' second-placed effort in an 18-runner affair at Fairyhouse looks potentially lenient and the five-year-old is fancied to record a first success of the season. Eruption appeared to pay the price for going for home too soon when a head second at Bellewstown earlier in the month and she may reverse form with the reopposing winner, Zig Zag Zyggy, now 2lb better off at the revised weights. Spirit Of Eagles and Conversant also look capable of winning at this level and are others to note in a competitive event.

SCARLET DANCER is a long time without a win but still looks the way to go on the back of her unlucky narrow reverse at Bellewstown last time. Eruption dead-heated with the selection that day and must enter calculations, with Sister Lola weighted to have a say too in a very open handicap.

It may be worth taking a chance on CONVERSANT who goes well fresh and should relish conditions

Creditable second of 14 in maiden (13/2) at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft) 10 days ago, no match for winner. Up in trip. Stable having good spell.

First run for yard after leaving J. F. Levins. Should improve. Nearly won a claimer first time out but it was a modest race; likely to need more here.

Much improved to finish second at Leopardstown and major form claims in this company.
4	1 4th (1) (8/1 +20%) Doctor Parnassus		8 8/1(+20%)																															(1) Doctor Parnassus 8/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, eleventh of 13 in handicap hurdle (28/1) at Warwick (19f, good to soft) 87 days ago.

LTO Selection:

---

TOMMY THUG showed improvement from his debut with a good second in a decent looking maiden at Leopardstown last week, and rates as a solid option on this quick return to action. The son of Churchill is likely to be a lot wiser and another step forward can bring about a breakthrough success. Rhodesia actually finished a place ahead of him at the Curragh on her reappearance and she is feared most. Nakassama and Golden Spangle complete the shortlist.

This can go to TOMMY THUG, who left his debut form behind when runner-up at Leopardstwon last week and remains with potential. Golden Spangle and Brave Thought rate the principal dangers.

Golden Spangle is solid but TOMMY THUG has had fewer chances and his Leopardstown effort was highly encouraging.

1	1 (1) (4/1 -33%) Boher Road		4 4/1(-33%)																															(1) Boher Road 4/1, 1 win from 2 runs this year. Career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Navan (10f, soft, 2/1) 13 days ago, keeping on well. 5 lb higher now but another bold bid anticipated. Both wins on soft ground; up 5lb for latest success; handy draw for his preferred tactics.
6	6 (6) (5/1 -43%) Hutton Glen		5 5/1(-43%)																															(6) Hutton Glen 5/1, Consistent sort who posted another solid effort when second of 8 in maiden (7/2) over C&D (good) 34 days ago. May have more to offer on handicap debut. Runner-up in two of his last 3 starts but needs to step up on latest C&D run now h'capping.
12	12 (12) (5/1 +0%) Eastern Legend		5 5/1(+0%)																															(12) Eastern Legend 5/1, Acquitted himself well in all 3 starts this term, latest when fifth of 14 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, good) 15 days ago. Back up in trip. Shortlist material. 0-6; not beaten far in 2 h'cap starts this month; return to 1m2f may help.

5	5 (5) (5.5/1 +31%) Alma Libre		5.5 5.5/1(+31%)																															(5) Alma Libre 5.5/1, Winner at Fairyhouse in June. Respectable seventh of 18 in minor event at the Curragh (12f, good, 7/2) 28 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Career best on penultimate start and may resume progress back at this trip.
4	4 (4) (7/1 +22%) Spy		7 7/1(+22%)																															(4) Spy 7/1, Unreliable individual. Unable to build on encouraging hurdles debut for new connections in a couple of outings since but posted respectable fifth of 14 back on the level at Roscommon (10f) 24 days ago. Soft ground a concern, though. Turf win came on quick ground; solid run back on the Flat latest; unproven on soft.
9	9 (9) (8/1 +76%) Draco Pulchrac		8 8/1(+76%)																															(9) Draco Pulchrac 8/1, Tenth of 15 in handicap (14/1) at the Curragh (10f, good) 27 days ago. Claims on best form. Both wins have come on AW; 0-13 on turf; promising return before lesser run over this trip.
10	10 (10) (18/1 -13%) Savigny		18 18/1(-13%)																															(10) Savigny 18/1, Ninth of 12 in maiden at Leopardstown (12.8f, good, 50/1) 36 days ago. Blinkers/ tongue strap on 1st time. Improvement required on handicap debut. Shown promise in maidens; possibly didn't stay latest; no chances taken with his mark.
8	8 (8) (18/1 +18%) Mads Black Eights		18 18/1(+18%)																															(8) Mads Black Eights 18/1, Bit below form eighth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (12f, 16/1). Off 177 days. Must improve. Generally in good form on AW through the winter; likely to need this and want it quicker.
3	3 (3) (28/1 +44%) Team Of Firsts		28 28/1(+44%)																															(3) Team Of Firsts 28/1, Ninth of 10 in handicap (9/1) at Tramore (16f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Others preferred. Losing run since heavy ground win in 2021; lost his way of late and hard to fancy.

LTO Selection:

---

EASTERN LEGEND was not beaten far when fifth off this mark over a mile at Leopardstown a couple of weeks ago and a reproduction of that level of form would give him a big chance here. The unexposed Hutton Glen has shown plenty of ability in maidens and could prove to be the main threat to the selection now switched to handicaps. That said, the likes of Boher Road, Alma Libre and Spy should not be underestimated.

BOHER ROAD upped his game when resuming winning ways at Navan earlier this month and remains feasibly treated. He may be able to follow up. Eastern Legend and Hutton Glen are feared most.

A 5lb rise looks fine for BOHER ROAD who made all earlier in the month and there's a chance he could get another uncontested lead

2	2 (2) (2/1 +20%) White Caviar		2 2/1(+20%)																															(2) White Caviar 2/1, In very good form until coming in last of 10 in handicap (10/3) at the Curragh (14f, good) 51 days ago. Yard having good spell so she is well worth another chance and a player at these weights. Won twice at end of last term; too bad to be true latest; return to soft ground will suit.
3	3 (3) (3.33/1 +33%) Mellow Magic		3.33 3.33/1(+33%)																															(3) Mellow Magic 3.33/1, 10¾ lengths fifth of 6 to Powerful Aggie in listed race (13/2) at this course (16.2f, good) 35 days ago, met some trouble. Down in trip. Needs considering. Consistent sort; won on yard debut and gets her conditions for the first time since here.

6	6 (6) (8.5/1 -31%) Humtaza		8.5 8.5/1(-31%)																															(6) Humtaza 8.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 22/1, creditable second of 10 in maiden at Tramore (12f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Makes handicap debut and very much in the picture. 0-5; best run came in Tramore maiden latest; may build on that now h'capping; 1lb wrong.
5	5 (5) (20/1 -43%) Mille Miglia		20 20/1(-43%)																															(5) Mille Miglia 20/1, 66/1, eighth of 11 in novice hurdle at this course (16.8f, good) 56 days ago. Fairly useful on the all weather, so she's much respected back on the Flat. Struggled over hurdles for this yard; won twice on Flat last year; soft ground a concern.

LTO Selection:

---

Zola Sakura has been mixing it up in Listed company on her last three outings and she now has her sights lowered, so she should go well. However, the vote goes to GRADULATIONS, who was possibly unlucky to go down by half a length when second at the Curragh last month, as her jockey dropped the whip with a furlong to go, so she did well to finish where she did. She could make amends this time around off a 3lb higher mark, while Humtaza warrants a market check on her handicap bow.

WHITE CAVIAR had seemed on the up until finishing last at the Curragh so is worth siding with off a handy-looking mark to bounce back to form in style. Handicap-debutante Humtaza could emerge as the chief threat, with Gradulations also not taken lightly on the back of her good Curragh second.

It's worth forgiving WHITE CAVIAR's run on quicker ground last time and she had looked highly progressive prior to that

Off 8 months. Up in trip. Mark looks appealing but he's likely to need the run. Career best hurdle run when last seen; this new trip could suit back on the Flat.

Off 156 days. Potentially well treated returning to the Flat. Losing run since in 2021 and tough to fancy on what he's shown for this yard.
11	11 (11) (8/1 +0%) Blackstone Cliff		8 8/1(+0%)																															(11) Blackstone Cliff 8/1, First run since leaving T. Gibney when creditable third of 17 in handicap at Navan (10f, soft, 16/1) 13 days ago. Up in trip. Should strip fitter for that and may well get involved if he gets the longer trip. Encouraging yard debut when beaten 3l this month; fair mark but trip best form at shorter.
2	2 (2) (11/1 -10%) Galactica		11 11/1(-10%)																															(2) Galactica 11/1, Hooded for 1st time, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (12f, 20/1) 16 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time on the Flat. Something to find on form. Won twice on the Flat in France; ran okay in June but lesser efforts have followed.
6	6 (6) (11/1 -38%) Intend		11 11/1(-38%)																															(6) Intend 11/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, respectable ninth of 15 in handicap at Killarney (14.1f, good, 12/1) 9 days ago, very slowly away.

Off 179 days. Up in trip. Hood back on. Needs to bounce back. On a tough mark when last seen on Flat; losing run goes back to 2020; likely to need this.
3	3 (3) (16/1 +20%) Pretty Soldier		16 16/1(+20%)																															(3) Pretty Soldier 16/1, Eighth of 14 in novice hurdle (10/1) at Roscommon (15.5f, good to soft) on NH debut 18 days ago, not knocked about. Up in trip. Fair on the Flat, creditable on last Flat outing. Should benefit from return to this sphere. Prolific in Germany and respectable effort here on yard debut; conditions should be fine.
12	12 (12) (16/1 +36%) Virtual Hug		16 16/1(+36%)																															(12) Virtual Hug 16/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Last of 11 in handicap hurdle (28/1) at Bellewstown (20f, good) 20 days ago. Modest on the Flat, respectable on last Flat run. Not completely dismissed. 0-16 on Flat; tailed off over hurdles latest and was struggling on the Flat previously.

LTO Selection:

---

NO MEMORY returns from a lengthy spell off the track, with her last appearance being in a Grade 3 hurdle at Punchestown, but her most recent Flat effort was a victory at Galway in October 2021 and conditions are likely to suit the daughter of Westerner. Blackstone Cliff performed with plenty of credit to finish third on his return at Navan and he is entitled to be in the mix. Herculaneum is capable of stepping forward after his placed effort at Tramore, while Pretty Soldier and Galactica complete the shortlist.

MERITORIOUS returns to the Flat on an appealing mark and he was last seen running well in a novice hurdle at Punchestown, so he could take the beating if tuned up for his first outing in 5 months. Blackstone Cliff is a danger on second outing for his current stable and Pretty Soldier is also of interest back on the level.

A step up in trip could suit COURT OF APPEAL who may have bounced last time and he's better judged on his return win two starts ago

Good third of 15 in handicap at Killarney (11.2f, good to soft, 11/2) 11 days ago. Looks competitive on form. RESERVE. Left handicap debut behind when beaten 1l last week and respected from 2lb higher; reserve.
8	8 (8) (8.5/1 +39%) Fratas		8.5 8.5/1(+39%)																															(8) Fratas 8.5/1, Winner at Ballinrobe in June. 9/2, respectable fourth of 16 in handicap at Tipperary (9f, good) 23 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Not dismissed. Won at 6th attempt in Ballinrobe h'cap; fair 4th since but ground is a concern.
6	6 (6) (9/1 +10%) Slaney Tide		9 9/1(+10%)																															(6) Slaney Tide 9/1, Career best when winning 16-runner handicap at Naas (10.3f, good, 14/1) 20 days ago, kept up to work. Up in trip. Shoulg go well again. Won at 14th attempt in Naas h'cap earlier in month; different trip/ground here; poor draw.
5	5 (5) (10/1 -82%) Rauzan		10 10/1(-82%)																															(5) Rauzan 10/1, 6/4, creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (12f) 16 days ago. Should give another good account, so worthy of interest with blinkers applied for the first time. Running okay in defeat of late; not as effective on this sort of ground though; blinkers.
7	7 (7) (12/1 +14%) Cruiscin Lan		12 12/1(+14%)																															(7) Cruiscin Lan 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Bit below form fifth of 16 in handicap (7/1) at Tipperary (9f, good) 23 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Worth a market check stepping up to a distance that should suit. Solid run on h'cap debut when beaten 1l last month; didn't appreciate drop in trip since.
9	9 (9) (16/1 -14%) Evening's Empire		16 16/1(-14%)																															(9) Evening's Empire 16/1, Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at this course (10.3f, good, 12/1) 34 days ago. Up in trip. Enters calculations. Won Galway festival maiden last year; consistent this term but on a tough mark.
12	12 (12) (16/1 -78%) Bright N Shine		16 16/1(-78%)																															(12) Bright N Shine 16/1, 25/1, very good second of 15 in handicap at Killarney (11.2f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Likely to be on the premises if he can back that up. Career best when beaten 1l last week; warrants respect from 2lb higher and should stay.
2	2 (2) (20/1 -25%) North Dorset		20 20/1(-25%)																															(2) North Dorset 20/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 8 in maiden (40/1) at Killarney (8.2f, good) 9 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Could do better, so can't be completely dismissed. Improved with each maiden run; not really bred for this much longer trip though.
13	13 (13) (28/1 +15%) Lady Pro		28 28/1(+15%)																															(13) Lady Pro 28/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 125/1, seventh of 17 in maiden at Leopardstown (10f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Has work to do. Minor promise in three starts so far but not sure to stay this new trip on handicap debut.
14	14 (14) (40/1 -100%) Stone Crafter		40 40/1(-100%)																															(14) Stone Crafter 40/1, 16/1, creditable fourth of 15 in handicap at Navan (10f, soft) 13 days ago. Up in trip. Not dismissed. 0-9; promise both h'cap starts for new yard; worth giving this trip another go.

With a few potential improvers lining up here, it might be worth taking a chance on MASTER DUNRAVEN. The gelded son of Mastercraftsman kept on to hit the frame over 1m4f at Roscommon last time out, suggesting he could fare even better over this longer trip and a bold bid is expected. Slaney Tide merits the utmost respect raised 7lb for her recent Naas success, while others to note include Bright N Shine, Siouxanne and Rauzan.

NOTTURNO was unlucky not to finish closer when fifth at Killarney 11 days ago and, if things drop right, he might be capable of opening his account. Slaney Tide is an obvious danger having improved to score at Naas last time and Rauzan merits respect in first-time headgear.

The tentative vote goes to NOTTURNO who should appreciate soft ground and he wasn't beaten far last week

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.
