1	9 1st (9) (7/1 -75%) Alex Belardo		7 7/1(-75%)																															(9) Alex Belardo 7/1, In-form maiden who came in third of 9 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.1f, good) 34 days ago, left with too much to do. Bold showing is on the cards eased 1 lb. Maiden a key player on form this year even if hold-up tactics not necessarily ideal here.
2	4 2nd (4) (7/2 +13%) I Bid You Ajou		3.5 7/2(+13%)																															(4) I Bid You Ajou 7/2, 7/1, good fourth of 16 in handicap at Cork (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. Behind Dear Daphne at Cork but will probably reverse that form; maiden knocking on door.
3	7 3rd (7) (15/2 +25%) Hijo De La Luna		7.5 15/2(+25%)																															(7) Hijo De La Luna 15/2, Fifth of 10 in novice hurdle (33/1) at Downpatrick (17.8f, good to soft) on NH debut 10 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Much his best run this term was over C&D but hard to have much faith; cheekpieces now.
4	10 4th (10) (11/2 -10%) Elliott		5.5 11/2(-10%)																															(10) Elliott 11/2, Good fourth of 17 in handicap at Fairyhouse (6f, good, 33/1) 7 days ago. Very much one to consider. Sole win came at 5f; first shot beyond sprint trips and chances are he will not stay.
5th	3 5th (3) (7/1 -40%) Glamorously		7 7/1(-40%)																															(3) Glamorously 7/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 9/2, seventh of 11 in handicap at Fairyhouse (7f, good) 7 days ago. Visor back on. Often runs well and, while latest was disappointing, has a chance; often misses the break.
6th	11 6th (11) (8/1 +20%) Spirit Of Eagles		8 8/1(+20%)																															(11) Spirit Of Eagles 8/1, Course winner. One win from 24 Flat runs. 14/1, below form ninth of 17 in handicap at Fairyhouse (6f, good) 7 days ago. Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. Another unproven at 7f; is also hard to settle so risky; she isn't out of it on form; 1-24.
7th	5 7th (5) (9/2 +44%) Madame Plaintiff		4.5 9/2(+44%)																															(5) Madame Plaintiff 9/2, 9/1 and blinkered for 1st time, below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Gowran (9.4f, good) 9 days ago, slowly away. Back down in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Yard greatly respected but she went backwards after Gowran win early in term; headgear.
8th	1 8th (1) (16/1 +0%) Big Baby Bull		16 16/1(+0%)																															(1) Big Baby Bull 16/1, 80/1, fourteenth of 16 in handicap at Navan (8.1f, good) 32 days ago. Every chance if back to best. Last pair of six wins were in claimers last year; seems to be regressing.
9th	8 9th (8) (28/1 -133%) Inflection Point		28 28/1(-133%)																															(8) Inflection Point 28/1, Unreliable type. First run since leaving James McAuley when creditable sixth of 16 in handicap (50/1) at Gowran (7f, good) 65 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Latest a nice effort and perhaps cheekpieces will help; 3lb drop in weights will.
10th	6 10th (6) (80/1 -142%) Hasiyna		80 80/1(-142%)																															(6) Hasiyna 80/1, 100/1, seventh of 9 in maiden at Galway (7f, good to soft) 62 days ago. Hood back on. Very hard to make a case for. Great chance on maiden form; latest a bit better but 4yo form underwhelming; hood back on.
11th	2 11th (2) (12/1 -71%) Dear Daphne		12 12/1(-71%)																															(2) Dear Daphne 12/1, 40/1, excellent third of 16 in handicap at Cork (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Claims. County Armagh yard's last winner was over two years ago; she offers hope of one.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

A highly-encouraging third when not beaten far over this distance at Cork last time out, DEAR DAPHNE is taken to build upon that performance as she looks to gain a first success for her new connections. I Bid You Ajou (fourth) has just under a length to make up with the selection from that contest and he is likely to be thereabouts, along with the consistent Alex Belardo, who has been placed on three of his last four starts. Elliott and Inflection Point are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

ALEX BELARDO didn't enjoy the rub of the green when third at Musselburgh last time out so is fancied to gain a deserved first success off a 1 lb lower mark here. Elliott heads the list of dangers on the back of his good Fairyhouse fourth, with in-form duo I Bid You Ajou and Dear Daphne also well in the mix.

A trappy contest. ALEX BELARDO is knocking on the door and is a tentative choice. Glamorously, is an obvious danger

1	3 1st (3) (5/2 +38%) Little Lady Lucy		2.5 5/2(+38%)																															(3) Little Lady Lucy 5/2, Lightly-raced maiden. 10/1, good third of 15 in handicap at Tipperary (9f, good) 29 days ago. Likely to improve. Well worth considering Similar form all starts but likeable how she stayed at it upped to 1m1f on handicap debut.
2	6 2nd (6) (17/2 +15%) Barretstown		8.5 17/2(+15%)																															(6) Barretstown 17/2, Latest win at Cork in May. Respectable fifth of 17 in handicap at Gowran (9.5f, good, 14/1) 65 days ago. Merits consideration. Often gives his running and followed gutsy Cork work win (yielding) with Gowran fifth.
3	4 3rd (4) (16/1 -14%) Thefullbackline		16 16/1(-14%)																															(4) Thefullbackline 16/1, Ninth of 14 in handicap at Gowran (8f, good, 20/1) 9 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Chance if rediscovering old form. Never a factor latest but stayed on and definite chance back up in yardage..
4	13 4th (13) (4/1 +38%) Boomerang Bill		4 4/1(+38%)																															(13) Boomerang Bill 4/1, 11/4, eighth of 11 in handicap at Tramore (12f, good to soft) 44 days ago. Othes appeal more. Yard had fine year; looked to be getting there with Navan fifth only to flop at Tramore.
5th	5 5th (5) (40/1 -21%) Darkened		40 40/1(-21%)																															(5) Darkened 40/1, Latest win at Dundalk in March. Eighth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (17.8f, good to soft, 33/1) 10 days ago. Others more persuasive. Yard landed gamble last week, hard to see it here (long odds and not at his best of late).
6th	11 6th (11) (11/1 +8%) So Messi		11 11/1(+8%)																															(11) So Messi 11/1, Respectable tenth of 21 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f, good, 10/1) 81 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Modest and exposed but chance at his best; yard had really quiet campaign.
7th	7 7th (7) (10/1 -122%) Cannes Do		10 10/1(-122%)																															(7) Cannes Do 10/1, 12/1, improved on recent efforts to win 15-runner handicap at Roscommon (7.4f, soft) 28 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Can give a good account. Possibly telling she finally came good over extended 7f latest (soft), trip a concern.
8th	12 8th (12) (25/1 +24%) Honrado		25 25/1(+24%)																															(12) Honrado 25/1, 25/1, ninth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f) 10 days ago. Others more persuasive. Thereabouts on his British form but quiet since joining rookie trainer.
9th	8 9th (8) (5/1 +9%) Tatum		5 5/1(+9%)																															(8) Tatum 5/1, 11/8, respectable third of 9 in nursery at Gowran (8.3f, heavy), unable to sustain effort. Off 11 months. Up in trip. Others have achieved more. Been boxing hard without winning but continues to knock on the door; ground-versatile.
10th	14 10th (14) (28/1 +15%) Pro Bono		28 28/1(+15%)																															(14) Pro Bono 28/1, First run since leaving Conor O'Dwyer when fifth of 13 in handicap hurdle (33/1) at Tramore (16.6f, good) 12 days ago. Modest on the Flat so more is needed. Good chance at his best but will hardly show that here and rising 10.
11th	10 11th (10) (14/1 +13%) Lady Delila		14 14/1(+13%)																															(10) Lady Delila 14/1, Respectable fifth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f, 28/1) 46 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Needs considering. Took the eye in fourth to Barretstown at Cork and weighted to get much closer now.
12th	9 12th (9) (80/1 -60%) Chica Linda		80 80/1(-60%)																															(9) Chica Linda 80/1, Last of 11 in handicap (40/1) at Tramore (12f, good to soft) 44 days ago. Can make presence felt if shrugging off latest effort. Frustrating filly struggling for form, 40s last twice.
13th	2 13th (2) (17/2 -6%) Dancing Steve		8.5 17/2(-6%)																															(2) Dancing Steve 17/2, Winner at Tipperary in September. Below form seventh of 16 in handicap (11/1) at Listowel (8f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Significantly back up in trip with more required. Went close here 66s earlier in year and not winning out of turn at Tipperary (1m1f, good).

TATUM placed on all three starts in nursery company and the daughter of Postponed is a most attractive proposition on her belated seasonal debut from a potentially very lenient mark. Having won over 1m2f at Cork on his penultimate start, Barretstown appears to be the chief danger to the selection off just 3lb higher, while Redemptive Power and Darkened are a couple of other appealing options to monitor closely in the betting.

Gavin Cromwell's REDEMPTIVE POWER advanced his form when runner-up at Dundalk last time and with few miles still on the clock he looks the way to go. So Messi is weighted to have a say and could emerge as the main danger, although Little Lady Lucy, Cannes Do and Barretstown are also in the picture in this very open handicap.

An interesting betting heat with the unexposed \LITTLE LADY LUCY\p a hopeful pick. Tatum is feared as isRedemptive Power

1	14 1st (14) (11/2 +50%) Londonofficecallin		5.5 11/2(+50%)																															(14) Londonofficecallin 11/2, C&D winner. Twelfth of 14 in handicap at Sligo (13.4f, soft, 13/2) 54 days ago, slowly away. Enters calculations if shrugging off latest effort. Really thrived last year and little doubt he is still well-treated with yard in form.
2	4 2nd (4) (66/1 -100%) Morse		66 66/1(-100%)																															(4) Morse 66/1, Winner at Leopardstown in April. 22/1, last of 14 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f, good) 81 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Needs a couple of these to falter. Got trainer off the mark in April (heavy) but barely beat rival since (Premier Handicaps).
3	3 3rd (3) (7/2 +56%) Sixpack		3.5 7/2(+56%)																															(3) Sixpack 7/2, Latest win at Fairyhouse in June. Creditable 5 lengths sixth of 15 to Scatchwah in handicap (6/1) at Roscommon (12.1f, soft) 28 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts. Marksman losing no sleep now but ground-versatile and solid each-way chance.
4	10 4th (10) (9/2 +36%) Gangster Granny		4.5 9/2(+36%)																															(10) Gangster Granny 9/2, Winner at Limerick in June. 13/2, creditable third of 11 in handicap at the Curragh (12f, good) 37 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and in the picture. Filly seems to only run well and, ground-versatile, chance again in the headgear.
5th	12 5th (12) (20/1 -100%) Sceptred Isle		20 20/1(-100%)																															(12) Sceptred Isle 20/1, 2 wins from 3 runs this year. Career best when winning 14-runner handicap (12/1) at Leopardstown (15f, good to soft) 67 days ago, slowly away. Can make her presence felt once more. Slow starter learning fast for this yard, beating big fields last twice quite readily.
6th	11 6th (11) (7/1 +0%) Ard Na Mara		7 7/1(+0%)																															(11) Ard Na Mara 7/1, Thrice-raced winner. 7/2, won 14-runner maiden at Punchestown (9.2f, good) 13 days ago, driven out. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Not ruled out. Given yard's long quest for a winner, notably well-backed at Punchestown but deserved that.
7th	1 7th (1) (20/1 -264%) Napper Tandy		20 20/1(-264%)																															(1) Napper Tandy 20/1, 25/1, respectable 14¾ lengths third of 8 to Gale Mahler in listed hurdle at Galway (16.5f, good) 62 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Can make presence felt. In good nick hurdling before fine Punchestown win in June; similar form when last seen.
8th	6 8th (6) (11/1 +8%) Golden Circet		11 11/1(+8%)																															(6) Golden Circet 11/1, Lightly-raced winner. 11/4, career best when winning 6-runner maiden at Clonmel (9.6f, good) 25 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Stable in good form. Needs considering. Won Clonmel maiden latest; 6lb rise might be harsh but going the right way; tricky draw.
9th	8 9th (8) (33/1 -230%) Rockview Consort		33 33/1(-230%)																															(8) Rockview Consort 33/1, 9/4, sixth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (16f), left poorly placed. Off 7 months. Can give a good account. Not seen since mad race dominated by one horse on AW, only 9-4 then on back of fine second.
10th	2 10th (2) (66/1 +0%) Firstman		66 66/1(+0%)																															(2) Firstman 66/1, Seventeenth of 22 in handicap at Leopardstown (13f, good, 125/1) 16 days ago. Chance if rediscovering old form. Began the term brightly but not sure what happened since; at least down markedly in grade.
11th	9 11th (9) (28/1 -300%) Redwood Queen		28 28/1(-300%)																															(9) Redwood Queen 28/1, Thrice-raced maiden on Flat. Useful winner at 20f over hurdles. Eighth of 11 in maiden (20/1) at Gowran (14f, good to soft) 27 days ago, left poorly placed. Much respected on her handicap debut. Highly progressive hurdler this year for shrewd yard; market hard to call; noted.
12th	7 12th (7) (22/1 -57%) Party Dress		22 22/1(-57%)																															(7) Party Dress 22/1, Lightly-raced winner on Flat. 1 win from 2 runs this year. Good second of 8 in novice hurdle (9/2) at this course (16.9f, good) on NH debut 31 days ago. Stable having good spell. Should go well again. Ran OK in second here on hurdling debut latest, having won maiden on seasonal return.
13th	13 13th (13) (14/1 -27%) Northern Sonas		14 14/1(-27%)																															(13) Northern Sonas 14/1, Landed 7-runner handicap at Navan (14f, good, 3/1) 32 days ago, all out. One for the shortlist. Strong in the market and stayed surprisingly well when scoring at Navan a month ago.
14th	5 14th (5) (5/1 -43%) Scatchwah		5 5/1(-43%)																															(5) Scatchwah 5/1, Promising type. Career best when winning 15-runner handicap at Roscommon (12.1f, soft, 12/1) 28 days ago. Big shout. Different ground but backed up Tipperary second with last-to-first Roscommon win.

A few with chances but preference is for SCATCHWAH, who recorded a comfortable success at Roscommon earlier this month. Sheila Lavery's charge is 6lb higher on this occasion, but, with further improvement likely, that could prove lenient. Sceptred Isle brought up a double at Leopardstown in July and must be respected following a short absence, while others to note include Gangster Granny, Ard Na Mara and Sixpack.

Lots with chances but SCATCHWAH still looks ahead of his mark despite being raised 6 lb for his recent Roscommon victory so gets the vote. Redwood Queen appeals as a likely improver now going handicapping so heads the list of dangers with Sceptred Isle, Ard Na Mara, Gangster Granny and Party Dress all in the mix too.

PARTY DRESS makes plenty of appeal dropping back in trip. That said, Scatchwah is progressing nicely and could have a big say again

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.
