1	4 1st (4) (5/1 +9%) Wave Machine		5 5/1(+9%)																															(4) Wave Machine 5/1, Creditable second of 7 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, soft, 10/3) 49 days ago. Visor on 1st time and shouldn't be far away. Dual winner been consistent in defeat lately; has winning form on heavy and big player.
2	2 2nd (2) (4/1 +38%) Amazon Lady		4 4/1(+38%)																															(2) Amazon Lady 4/1, Lightly-raced winner. 10/1, 2¼ lengths fifth of 8 to Twilight Jet in listed race at Tipperary (5f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Yard having good spell. Another bold show likely. Consistent in defeat since winning a maiden, incl' in Listed company; can be involved.
3	8 3rd (8) (6/1 +67%) Spirit Of Eagles		6 6/1(+67%)																															(8) Spirit Of Eagles 6/1, C&D winner in July. 9/1, bit below form sixth of 13 in handicap at Cork (5f, heavy) 38 days ago. Others have achieved more. Won over C&D on good ground but below that on soft next time; tough task 8lb out of h'cap.
4	1 4th (1) (7/2 -17%) Polar Bear		3.5 7/2(-17%)																															(1) Polar Bear 7/2, Good nose second of 8 to Charming Lady in handicap at Bellewstown (5f, good, 11/2) 27 days ago, just failing. Trainer going well. Should continue to give a good account. Both wins have come with plenty of give in the ground and gets that here so a big player.
5th	7 5th (7) (4/1 +20%) Distillate		4 4/1(+20%)																															(7) Distillate 4/1, Latest win at Naas in August. Creditable second of 21 in handicap (20/1) at Navan (5f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Consistent sort has twice been placed over C&D; 3lb higher than last time but a player.
6th	6 6th (6) (11/2 +50%) Smullen's Pride		5.5 11/2(+50%)																															(6) Smullen's Pride 11/2, Didn't need to be at best when winning 11-runner maiden (5/2) at this C&D (good to firm) 17 days ago, keeping on well. More on her plate now handicapping. Consistent sort got off the mark in a C&D maiden; should go well if handling softer ground.
7th	5 7th (5) (16/1 -78%) Charming Lady		16 16/1(-78%)																															(5) Charming Lady 16/1, Two wins from 5 runs this year. 20/1, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Bellewstown (5f, good) 27 days ago by nose from Polar Bear, just holding on. This is more demanding. Came back to form when winning at Bellewstown last time; has run well on soft before.

LTO Selection:

This can go the way of SMULLEN'S PRIDE, who deservedly got off the mark over C&D last time out and makes her handicap debut off today what looks a workable mark. The three-year-old is narrowly preferred to Polar Bear (second), who is 4lb better off (including jockey's claim) with the reopposing Charming Lady (first) for a nose defeat at Bellewstown last month. Further behind that day was the unexposed Mythical Phoenix (fourth) and he is likely to enter the reckoning, along with Wave Machine.

POLAR BEAR and Mythical Phoenix both have a realistic chance of reversing last month's Bellewstown placings with the re-opposing winner of that handicap, Charming Lady, on these revised terms. The first-named was returning from a three-month break that day and, with the forecast slower ground here no bad thing, he is taken to emerge on top this time. Distillate is holding her form well and should be in the mix, while Wave Machine is also a possible in what looks a pretty competitive race.

With plenty of rain forecast, conditions could turn testing, which will suit POLAR BEAR(nap) very well and he can win.

Dam, 10.3f winner, half-sister to useful 1m/9f winner Good Governance out of useful 2-y-o 5f/6f winner (stayed 1m) Please Sing.

2	8 2nd (8) (11/2 -38%) Cornahilt Soldier		5.5 11/2(-38%)																															(8) Cornahilt Soldier 11/2, Lightly-raced filly. Good second of 8 in maiden at this C&D (good to firm, 12/1) 17 days ago. Marginally the form pick. A 4l runner-up over C&D last timer; can run well but looks vulnerable to a decent sort.

Dam, 6f winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 7f Morache Music. Trainer going well. Was 6th in a Dundalk barrier trial in May but should have improved since; check the market.
5th	1 5th (1) (10/3 +33%) Tachos		3.333333 10/3(+33%)																															(1) Tachos 10/3, Twice-raced filly. Better effort when fourth of 13 in maiden (33/1) at Gowran (7f, good) 40 days ago. Yard in good form. Big player. Solid 4th at Gowran last time over this trip; a player if handling ths soft ground.
6th	11 6th (11) (22/1 -57%) Sofia Tesoro		22 22/1(-57%)																															(11) Sofia Tesoro 22/1, Foaled April 15. Decorated Knight filly. Half-sister to winner up to 1¾m Arcturus and 2-y-o 1m winner Maverick. Dam lightly raced. A 3,000euros vendor buyback as a 2yo; will probably improve for this.
7th	5 7th (5) (10/1 +17%) Oiche Chiuin		10 10/1(+17%)																															(5) Oiche Chiuin 10/1, Twice-raced filly. 14/1 and blinkered for 1st time, eleventh of 14 in maiden at Gowran (7f, soft) 58 days ago. Better effort on debut, but still a lot more needed. Beaten a long way on soft at Gowran last time; blinkers worn then are left off.

Eleventh of 16 in maiden (66/1) at Naas (7f, good to soft) on debut 29 days ago. Yard in good form, but big step forward needed.. Beaten 12l on debut at Naas last month and needs to improve a fair bit from that.
10th	7 10th (7) (125/1 -279%) Are You In Or Out		125 125/1(-279%)																															(7) Are You In Or Out 125/1, Once-raced filly. 66/1, last of 8 in maiden at this C&D (good to firm) on debut 17 days ago. Beaten 18l over C&D on debut and enormous improvement is required.

LTO Selection:

---

Of those with racecourse experience, the second-placed finish of Cornahilt Soldier and the fourth of Tachos stand out, though they were both well held at the line in those C&D events and will need to take another step forward to win this. Joseph O'Brien has his string in fine form with plenty of recent winners and it may be worth taking a chance on his unraced SLUICE. The Starspangledbanner filly is bred for this trip and could make a winning debut.

Twiced-raced TACHOS hasn't much to find on form with Cornahilt Soldier. and could well improve past her. Sluice and Lavender Haze are the interesting newcomers who need keeping an eye on in the market.

the nicely-bred SLUICE could be just that having won a barrier trial earlier this month, though this ground will be very different.

LTO Selection:

---

GO SIOUX ME was an eye-cathcer when not getting the clearest of runs late on at Naas in July and this looks like an ideal opportunity to set the record straight. The son of Sioux Nation clearly has plenty of ability and he may be open to more improvement than Muhaarar's Girl, who is bit more exposed and has been runner-up on her last three starts. Greek Flower may be a maiden through 11 starts but she has run with credit of late and cannot be ruled out either.

GO SIOUX ME has shaped well in a couple of visits to Naas and, with the promise of better to come, he is taken to make it third time lucky. The obvious threat is Muhaarar's Girl, who has found just one too good on each of her last three starts but Greek Flower is also a live candidate.

On the form GO SIOUX ME showed behind Group 3 winner Clever And Cool at Naas last time, he should win this.

LTO Selection:

---

Little separates Cavallo Pazzo (second) and Queenie St Clair (third) judged on their encounter over 6f at Fairyhouse a week ago, with the former making slightly more appeal now returning to 7f. However, it may pay to take a chance on MY KURKUM, who represents the Tony Martin yard. The five-year-old has offered glimmers of promise in three handicap starts this season and he could take advantage of a 6lb drop in the ratings since his last appearance.

QUEENIE ST CLAIR didn't enjoy the best of runs when finishing third, hot on the heels of the re-opposing runner-up Cavallo Pazzo, in a big-field Fairyhouse handicap last week. The return to this trip should be in her favour and, granted better luck here, she may well be the answer. Cavallo Pazzo could also benefit from this step back up to 7f and he should be on the premises once more, while Blue Peak and Bellick are others to consider.

Noel Meade's filly QUEENIE ST CLAIRE may be better for her Fairyhouse run and is tipped to reverse form with Cavallo Pazzo

LTO Selection:

---

This may be a tricky handicap puzzle for punters to solve but another bold showing looks likely from CHICA LINDA, who won well over an extended 1m2f at Sligo before getting going too late when fourth over a furlong shorter at Clonmel last time. Back up in distance and dropped 1lb for her last run, Mark Fahey's filly is narrowly preferred to Red Trail, who won this race off 8lb lower last year and she was successful when last seen at Gowran in July. Portreath has been threatening to score and could be dangerous if getting an easy lead now upped in trip.

RED TRAIL won back to back last year and might be able to defy a small rise for her latest Gowran success. Portreath has been knocking on the door since switching to handicaps and ought to be on the premises again. Chica Linda and Mr Mills also make the shortlist.

A step up in trip here could help to bring out the best in \bPORTREATHp who has been running consistently over slightly shorter distances

Big improver this season, bidding for a hat-trick after wins over an extended 1m4f in July.
5th	10 5th (10) (16/1 +47%) La Dame Blanche		16 16/1(+47%)																															(10) La Dame Blanche 16/1, Eighth of 9 in handicap (28/1) at Roscommon (7.2f, good). Off 116 days. Significantly up in trip. Well treated on peak form but returns from a break with a bit to prove. Twice placed early in the season but over shorter distances, plenty to prove now.
6th	6 6th (6) (5/1 -100%) Rapparee Champ		5 5/1(-100%)																															(6) Rapparee Champ 5/1, Thrice-raced winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, third of 7 in minor event (7/1) at Leopardstown (12.8f, good to soft) 60 days ago. Trainer going well. Makes handicap debut. Open to improvement for his leading stable. Fairyhouse maiden winner on the second of three starts, could be well enough treated.
7th	1 7th (1) (16/1 -14%) Herculaneum		16 16/1(-14%)																															(1) Herculaneum 16/1, C&D winner. Sixth of 7 in minor event (20/1) at Laytown (7.2f) 13 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Blinkers back on. C&D winner in July, satisfactory efforts on next two starts, 7f much too sharp at Laytown.
8th	11 8th (11) (40/1 +20%) Harvest Bow		40 40/1(+20%)																															(11) Harvest Bow 40/1, 66/1, twelfth of 14 in handicap at this course (18f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Down in trip. Just over two years since 1m7f Leopardstown win, no apparent chance on recent form.
9th	4 9th (4) (14/1 -56%) Luminous Light		14 14/1(-56%)																															(4) Luminous Light 14/1, 8/1, respectable second of 6 in novice hurdle at Downpatrick (21.5f, soft) 10 days ago, finishing with running left. Fairly useful on the Flat, creditable on last Flat run. Merits consideration. Placed over hurdles last time, placed on both Flat starts this year, worth considering.
10th	12 10th (12) (11/2 +54%) Rodney Bay		5.5 11/2(+54%)																															(12) Rodney Bay 11/2, 11/2, good third of 9 in handicap at Galway (12.2f, good to soft) 13 days ago, not much room. Looks competitive on form. Winning hurdler, 0-14 on Flat, solid third at Galway recently despite trouble in running.
11th	5 11th (5) (10/1 -25%) Out On Friday		10 10/1(-25%)																															(5) Out On Friday 10/1, 3 wins from 10 runs this year. 9/4, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Tramore (12f, good) 12 days ago, all out. Ran with much credit on successive days recently, second at Galway and winner at Tramore.
12th	9 12th (9) (125/1 -150%) Rene Artois		125 125/1(-150%)																															(9) Rene Artois 125/1, 150/1, fifth of 7 in maiden at Tramore (12f, good) 12 days ago. Poor hurdles form during the summer, remote fifth in a Flat maiden last time, no appeal.

LTO Selection:

In a wide-open handicap it may pay to side with RODNEY BAY, who was beaten less than a length when third last time out despite being denied a clear run a furlong out. He races off the same mark here and could get the better of Rapparee Champ who makes his handicap debut for last year's winning stable and is open to improvement. Eastern Legend, No Hassle and Brogue are all capable of getting involved in the race for the places.

Joseph O'Brien's RAPPAREE CHAMP appeals as one who can go on to better things in handicaps and gets the nod in an interesting finale. Luminous Light has been in good form under both codes and is second choice ahead of last week's Listowel winner Eastern Legend.

It may pay to focus on the younger generation. Eastern Legend has been on the upgrade but the unexposed RAPPAREE CHAMP is preferred

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.
