1	9 1st (9) (3/1 +25%) Sky Legend		3 3/1(+25%)																															(9) Sky Legend 3/1, Unreliable sort. Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Tenth of 13 in handicap (11/2) at this course (12f) 35 days ago. Expected to be bang there down at claiming level. 0-17 and not at his best here latest but placed in 3 runs here towards end of last year.
2	1 2nd (1) (7/1 +0%) Darkened		7 7/1(+0%)																															(1) Darkened 7/1, Fair gelding. Two wins from 49 Flat runs. Twenty runs since last win in 2022. Respectable sixth of 14 in handicap (10/1) at this C&D 10 days ago, not clear run. 0-9 on AW but went close over C&D in October and running okay subsequently; not ruled out.
3	11 3rd (11) (33/1 -65%) Victory Star		33 33/1(-65%)																															(11) Victory Star 33/1, Fair gelding. Unseated rider in handicap hurdle (66/1) at Punchestown (20f, good) 108 days ago. Off 108 days. First run for yard after leaving John Joseph Hanlon. Enters calculations. Won over 1m2f at end of 2022; poor form since though and best watched on Flat return.
4	5 4th (5) (33/1 -32%) Kiwi Kiss		33 33/1(-32%)																															(5) Kiwi Kiss 33/1, 33/1, tenth of 14 in handicap at this course (8f) 42 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Won 4 on Flat in France; struggled for new yard; stamina to prove at this trip.
5th	6 5th (6) (9/2 +55%) Neddies Boy		4.5 9/2(+55%)																															(6) Neddies Boy 9/2, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. 16/1, very good fourth of 14 in handicap at this course (12f) 7 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Best run yet when 4th on h'cap bow latest; shorter may suit; may struggle on these terms.
6th	4 6th (4) (10/1 -43%) Cursory Exam		10 10/1(-43%)																															(4) Cursory Exam 10/1, Fair gelding. 3-time C&D winner. 13/2, bit below form sixth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 10 days ago. 3-time C&D winner but not involved in C&D h'caps of late; tougher ask here.
7th	2 7th (2) (9/2 -13%) General Idea		4.5 9/2(-13%)																															(2) General Idea 9/2, Fair gelding. Winner at Laytown in September. Good fifth of 14 in handicap at this course (12f, 22/1) 7 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Sole win came in 7f Laytown claimer; has run okay in 1m4f starts here of late; tough ask.
8th	13 8th (13) (28/1 +30%) In The Cheap Seats		28 28/1(+30%)																															(13) In The Cheap Seats 28/1, Modest mare. Bit below form eighth of 16 in handicap (10/1) at Fairyhouse (12f, good). Off 18 months. Makes polytrack debut. 0-8; struggling for form on turf when last seen; off 565 days.
9th	10 9th (10) (25/1 -56%) Overstate		25 25/1(-56%)																															(10) Overstate 25/1, Fair gelding. 33/1, first run since leaving Stuart Edmunds when last of 10 in handicap at Kempton (16f). Off 121 days. First run for yard after leaving Mike Murphy & Michael Keady. Capable of having a big say if a change of yard sparks a revival. Dual AW winner but in poor form since Kempton win a year ago and off 121 days ago.
10th	8 10th (8) (14/1 -17%) Jomont		14 14/1(-17%)																															(8) Jomont 14/1, Fair gelding. Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Thirteenth of 17 in handicap at Navan (14f, good to soft, 20/1). Off 148 days. Back down in trip. Makes polytrack debut. Dual AW winner over similar trip on Tapeta but no wins since 2021; may need this.
11th	12 11th (12) (12/1 +14%) North Dorset		12 12/1(+14%)																															(12) North Dorset 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 12 in handicap (40/1) at Clonmel (9.6f, good). Off 141 days. Tongue strap on 1st time. 0-5; poor form up in trip in h'caps; level of maiden form gives him a chance; off 141 days.
12th	14 12th (14) (8/1 +43%) Chica Linda		8 8/1(+43%)																															(14) Chica Linda 8/1, Winner at Sligo in August. 16/1 and blinkered for 1st time, ninth of 14 in handicap at this course (12f) 7 days ago, met some trouble. Cheekpieces back on. Respected with that run behind her. Won over this trip at Sligo in August; may have needed recent course return; could go well.
13th	3 13th (3) (50/1 -25%) Liquid Metric		50 50/1(-25%)																															(3) Liquid Metric 50/1, Blinkered for 1st time, twelfth of 14 in handicap (200/1) at this course (12f) 42 days ago. 0-8 on Flat and showed very little over hurdles or on the Flat last year; huge task here.
14th	7 14th (7) (33/1 +0%) Quick Blessing		33 33/1(+0%)																															(7) Quick Blessing 33/1, Modest gelding. Ninth of 13 in handicap (80/1) at this course (8f) 14 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Plenty to find on form. 0-10; shown very little in two runs for this yard; new trip may suit but has bit to prove.

LTO Selection:

A tricky puzzle to solve, in which it might pay to take a chance on CURSORY EXAM, who is able to compete from 17lb below his last winning mark. The six-year-old hasn't been at his best in recent starts, but there were signs of a return to form last time out, having been short of room approaching the two-furlong marker. General Idea's sole success came in a claiming event, though he has been running with credit here lately and the first-time visor could eke out more. Neddies Boy is another to consider.

Although SKY LEGEND was below par last time but he had been placed in 3 handicaps here prior to that and can bounce back to form with a bang dropped to a claimer. Overstate is another Denis Hogan runner weighted to have a say if returning to form on his first outing for the yard. Chica Linda could strip fitter for her recent comeback outing here and is also on the shortlist.

SKY LEGEND wasn't at his best here latest but may be hard to beat if he returns to the form of his placed efforts at end of 2023

1	6 1st (6) (4/7 +65%) Elegant Man		0.571429 4/7(+65%)																															(6) Elegant Man 4/7, Promising sort who scored on debut over C&D in October and confirmed herself a smart sort when runner-up in 12f listed event at Kempton 44 days ago. Big player with prospect of more to come. Lightly-raced improving 4yo with more to offer; likely leading player.
2	5 2nd (5) (16/1 -146%) Tyson Fury		16 16/1(-146%)																															(5) Tyson Fury 16/1, Useful gelding. Respectable 5¾ lengths fourth of 11 to Freescape in handicap (7/2) at this C&D 35 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Others more persuasive. Something to find with Freescape on recent C&D run; cheekpieces now tried.
3	2 3rd (2) (9/2 -50%) Freescape		4.5 9/2(-50%)																															(2) Freescape 9/2, Useful gelding. 7-time course winner. 8/1, improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner handicap at this C&D 35 days ago, kept up to work. Booking of Lee a plus. Should continue to give a good account. Impressive C&D handicap winner last month; major player again.
4	4 4th (4) (6/1 +14%) Star Harbour		6 6/1(+14%)																															(4) Star Harbour 6/1, Useful gelding. Latest win at Bellewstown in September. Thirteenth of 18 in handicap at Leopardstown (12f, heavy, 22/1). Off 96 days. Yard in good form. Yard has begun the year in good form so has to be considered despite lack of a recent run.
5th	3 5th (3) (17/2 -143%) San Andreas		8.5 17/2(-143%)																															(3) San Andreas 17/2, Smart gelding. 6-time course winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, didn't need to improve to win 3-runner minor event at this course (7f, 1/20) 7 days ago, shaken up over 1f out and drawing clear. Solid claims again. Winning form over shorter but creditable placed efforts at this trip so respected.
6th	7 6th (7) (80/1 -100%) Linden Lady		80 80/1(-100%)																															(7) Linden Lady 80/1, Last of 10 in handicap at Sligo (10.5f, good to soft, 50/1). Off 170 days. First run for yard after leaving Denis Hogan and this looks a tough enough ask. Decent form in Australia but watching brief advised on two runs last summer.
7th	1 7th (1) (200/1 -300%) Boom Boom Boom		200 200/1(-300%)																															(1) Boom Boom Boom 200/1, Fairly useful gelding. Course winner. 50/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, creditable sixth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 70 days ago. Has his work cut out here on these terms. Encouraging enough return in C&D handicap in November but very stiff task at the weights.

LTO Selection:

---

Having been on target over C&D on his debut, ELEGANT MAN finished an excellent second in behind former Breeders' Cup Turf hero Rebel's Romance in a Listed event at Kempton next time. The unexposed son of Arrogate should have plenty more in his locker, and he looks an exciting prospect for the Adrian Murray team. Freescape was a commanding winner over track and trip last month, so he appeals as the main danger. San Andreas is another that could have a say, for all that he has yet to conclusively prove his stamina at this trip.

A winner on debut over C&D, ELEGANT MAN showed improved form when chasing home a decidedly smart sort in listed company at Kempton 44 days ago and, with the prospect of more to come, he's fancied to make a bold bid back down in trip. San Andreas and Freescape are others fancied to feature.

The Kempton Listed second of ELEGANT MAN looks very strong form and the lightly raced 4yo could take the beating here

1	9 1st (9) (9/2 +25%) Roman Palace		4.5 9/2(+25%)																															(9) Roman Palace 9/2, 7/2, bit below form seventh of 14 in handicap at this C&D 42 days ago but claims on her runner-up effort here prior to that. Bit to find on latest but previous two C&D runs brings her into the mix.
2	1 2nd (1) (6/1 -33%) Hale Bopp		6 6/1(-33%)																															(1) Hale Bopp 6/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in September. Creditable 2 lengths fourth of 14 to Gatsby Cap in handicap at this C&D (11/2) 14 days ago. Respected. Dual C&D winner; solid run again latest so has to be on the shortlist.
3	8 3rd (8) (14/1 -367%) Gatsby Cap		14 14/1(-367%)																															(8) Gatsby Cap 14/1, 28/1, won 14-runner handicap at this C&D 14 days ago. Should remain competitive after a 6 lb rise. Surprise C&D win a fortnight ago; 6lb rise makes this a lot tougher.
4	6 4th (6) (11/4 +21%) Big Dream		2.75 11/4(+21%)																															(6) Big Dream 11/4, C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 5/1) 22 days ago. Merits consideration. Touched off over C&D in November off same mark; more needed.
5th	3 5th (3) (33/1 -32%) Hi Sur Multi		33 33/1(-32%)																															(3) Hi Sur Multi 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden on Flat. Seventh of 13 in maiden at this course (12f, 150/1) 37 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Significantly back down in trip. Makes handicap debut. Mildly encouraging effort last time; still hard to fancy on handicap debut.
6th	12 6th (12) (17/2 +66%) Lynskey		8.5 17/2(+66%)																															(12) Lynskey 17/2, Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, below form eighth of 13 in handicap at Roscommon (11.6f, good to soft). Off 144 days. Significantly back down in trip. Makes polytrack debut. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Cheekpieces fitted for AW debut and 2lb wrong; worth a look in the market though.
7th	4 7th (4) (5/1 +38%) Play It Again Zaam		5 5/1(+38%)																															(4) Play It Again Zaam 5/1, Very good third of 14 in handicap at this C&D (28/1) 42 days ago. Nicely handicapped if he can build on that. Merits consideration. Best run for some time over C&D last month from a wide draw; one to consider.
8th	11 8th (11) (66/1 -65%) Atlas		66 66/1(-65%)																															(11) Atlas 66/1, C&D winner. Four wins from 84 Flat runs. Tenth of 12 in handicap (200/1) at this C&D 7 days ago. Veteran invariably facing stiff tasks from out of handicap these days.
9th	13 9th (13) (20/1 -25%) Sadiqaa		20 20/1(-25%)																															(13) Sadiqaa 20/1, Twenty six runs since last win in 2021. Tenth of 14 in handicap (18/1) at this course (7f) 44 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. Couple of fair efforts of late; 3lb wrong and remains opposable.
10th	14 10th (14) (100/1 -203%) The Gray Chapter		100 100/1(-203%)																															(14) The Gray Chapter 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 13 in handicap at this C&D (66/1). Off 14 months. Hood on 1st time. Last of 13 on C&D handicap debut back in November 2022 and absent since; hood tried.
11th	10 11th (10) (17/2 +15%) Princess Rajj		8.5 17/2(+15%)																															(10) Princess Rajj 17/2, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Eleventh of 14 in handicap (22/1) at this C&D 63 days ago. Dual turf winner is 0-5 on AW; declining mark but remains opposable.
12th	5 12th (5) (16/1 +0%) Barrys Rock		16 16/1(+0%)																															(5) Barrys Rock 16/1, Remains a maiden after 20 Flat runs. 33/1, tenth of 14 in handicap at this course (10.7f) 63 days ago. Down in trip. Never backed up comeback second in June; drops in trip now.
13th	7 13th (7) (33/1 +0%) Cold Cold Heart		33 33/1(+0%)																															(7) Cold Cold Heart 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 25/1 and hooded for 1st time, eleventh of 13 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago. Others have achieved more. Blew the start on recent C&D handicap debut when hooded; headgear off and dropped 3lb.
14th	2 14th (2) (50/1 -100%) Chimeric		50 50/1(-100%)																															(2) Chimeric 50/1, Three wins from 11 runs last year. Latest win at Killarney in July. 40/1, last of 14 in handicap at this C&D 42 days ago. Struggling for form and latest two C&D runs don't inspire confidence.

LTO Selection:

A surprise winner over this course and distance a fortnight ago, Gatsby Cap is noteworthy despite being 6lb worse off with Hale Bopp (fourth) on the revised terms. However, consistency isn't his strong point and there may be more mileage to be gained by siding with BIG DREAM. A previous course and distance winner, the selection wasn't beaten far at Newcastle 22 days ago and a step forward from that could prompt a return to wining ways. Roman Palace completes the shortlist.

BIG DREAM is back down to the mark he went very close from over C&D in November and might prove the answer. Play It Again Zaam ran his best race for a while when third over C&D last time and should be on the premises if in similar form. Roman Palace and Hale Bopp are others to consider.

An encouraging C&D third in December from a similar draw, PLAY IT AGAIN ZAAM is taken to get off the mark here

2	9 2nd (9) (22/1 +56%) Rock Basher		22 22/1(+56%)																															(9) Rock Basher 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Thirteenth of 15 in handicap at Gowran (8f, good, 66/1). Off 142 days. Makes polytrack debut. Lightly raced 5yo with modest turf form last year; gelded since and makes AW debut here.
3	5 3rd (5) (9/2 +10%) Trishuli River		4.5 9/2(+10%)																															(5) Trishuli River 9/2, Career best when winning 14-runner handicap at this C&D (14/1) 63 days ago by head from Feature This. Not taken lightly. Came late for C&D win over Feature This latest; 3lb rise plenty fair.
4	11 4th (11) (12/1 -100%) Sunset Nova		12 12/1(-100%)																															(11) Sunset Nova 12/1, 6-time course winner. 8/1, improved on recent efforts to win 14-runner handicap at this course (7f) 37 days ago. Should go well again. Last month's 7f win here came under today's rider; 5lb higher now but retains appeal.
5th	6 5th (6) (14/1 -56%) Zahee		14 14/1(-56%)																															(6) Zahee 14/1, Unreliable type. C&D winner. Nineteen runs since last win in 2022. Good third of 13 in handicap (17/2) at this C&D 14 days ago. Not sure to be in the same form. Recent C&D third; should again be thereabouts.
6th	2 6th (2) (4/1 +0%) Feature This		4 4/1(+0%)																															(2) Feature This 4/1, 3-time C&D winner. Three wins from 13 runs last year. Latest win here in November. Respectable sixth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (3/1) 42 days ago. Merits consideration. Good C&D autumn form but handicapper may now have her measure.
7th	1 7th (1) (13/2 -117%) Fleetfootsoldier		6.5 13/2(-117%)																															(1) Fleetfootsoldier 13/2, C&D winner. Three wins from 8 runs last year. Latest win here in November. Good fourth of 13 in handicap (3/1) at this C&D 14 days ago, running on late. Expected to be bang there. Well-backed staying-on C&D fourth a fortnight ago; one to consider.
8th	13 8th (13) (10/1 +80%) Boomerang Bill		10 10/1(+80%)																															(13) Boomerang Bill 10/1, 11/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, eleventh of 19 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, soft). Off 106 days. Makes polytrack debut. Others preferred. Absent since October and hard to fancy on AW debut unless market speaks.
9th	3 9th (3) (15/2 -25%) Bucky Larson		7.5 15/2(-25%)																															(3) Bucky Larson 15/2, 3-time C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 5/1, good third of 14 in handicap at this course (7f) 44 days ago. Enters calculations. Running consistently well off reduced mark of late so has to be respected.
10th	10 10th (10) (28/1 +44%) Summer Snow		28 28/1(+44%)																															(10) Summer Snow 28/1, 14/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, ninth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 42 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Others more persuasive. Recent C&D runs just fair so good bit more required to feature.
11th	4 11th (4) (50/1 +0%) One Aim		50 50/1(+0%)																															(4) One Aim 50/1, 6¾ lengths thirteenth of 14 to Trishuli River in handicap (200/1) at this C&D 63 days ago. Hard to make a case for. Two runs for current trainer moderate; handicapper relenting but remains hard to fancy.
12th	12 12th (12) (50/1 -25%) Superior Council		50 50/1(-25%)																															(12) Superior Council 50/1, Below form tenth of 16 in handicap at Gowran (9.4f, heavy, 20/1). Off 102 days. Others are more persuasive. Lightly raced and regressive last year; back from a break and best watched.
13th	7 13th (7) (22/1 +12%) Catwalk Couture		22 22/1(+12%)																															(7) Catwalk Couture 22/1, Blinkered for 1st time, good seventh of 14 in handicap (11/1) at this course (12f) 63 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Not dismissed. Struggled so far in handicaps but handicapper giving her a chance.
14th	14 14th (14) (150/1 -200%) Chancey Approach		150 150/1(-200%)																															(14) Chancey Approach 150/1, 50/1 and visored for 1st time, eleventh of 14 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago. Needs to do more. Well held twice here recently after long absence; 5lb wrong here.

Bucky Larson hasn't won a handicap for over two years but sits on a competitive mark and can be a force in this company if recapturing some of his old sparkle. Fellow veteran, Zahee, also enters calculations based on peak performances and is respected off 12lb lower than the last of his two previous course and distance wins. However, the vote goes to TRISHULI RIVER, who bounced back to form with a determined effort over C&D in November and surely has more to give off just 3lb higher.

BUCKY LARSON has been shaping up well, runner-up despite not getting a clear run here last time, so it would be no great surprise were he to end a losing run here. In-form pair Feature This and Sunset Nova are obvious dangers.

Trainer Shane Crawley had a winner here last week and his TRISHULI RIVER could be another judged on her C&D defeat of Picture This

1	1 1st (1) (10/3 +45%) Bergamasco		3.333333 10/3(+45%)																															(1) Bergamasco 10/3, Off the mark in a C&D handicap in November. 9/2, creditable fifth of 13 in minor event at this C&D 37 days ago, one paced. Return to handicaps rates more suitable. C&D winner on h'cap debut; has run okay twice since but form could have worked out better.
2	9 2nd (9) (33/1 +0%) Special Angel		33 33/1(+0%)																															(9) Special Angel 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1, twelfth of 14 in nursery at this course (7f) 37 days ago, racing well off the pace and never involved. 0-5; ran okay when beaten 4l over C&D on h'cap debut; struggled over 7f since.
3	7 3rd (7) (15/2 -125%) Alto Sax		7.5 15/2(-125%)																															(7) Alto Sax 15/2, Evens, failed to meet expectations when fifth of 14 in nursery at this course (7f) 37 days ago, plugging on without posing a threat. Return to 1m may help now. Unplaced fav on last 2 starts; shaped like he may appreciate step back up to 1m latest.
4	5 4th (5) (5/1 +50%) Pomeriggio		5 5/1(+50%)																															(5) Pomeriggio 5/1, Off the mark with headgear discarded in 7f claimer here in December. 10/3, found things tougher up in class when seventh of 13 in minor event at this C&D 37 days ago but this rates more suitable. Won 7f claimer here 2 starts ago and similar form when beaten 5l over C&D since.
5th	8 5th (8) (16/1 -14%) Alabama Calling		16 16/1(-14%)																															(8) Alabama Calling 16/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 33/1, fourth of 14 in maiden at this C&D 14 days ago, not ideally placed. Entitled to hold more chance now handicapping but opening mark demands improvement. Improved in 2 recent course runs; first h'cap run and needs improvement to defy this mark.
6th	2 6th (2) (5/1 -25%) Blue Soul		5 5/1(-25%)																															(2) Blue Soul 5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1, good third of 14 in nursery at this course (7f) 37 days ago, rallying final 100 yds. Remains less exposed than most and she may yet have more to offer back up in trip. Improved when 3rd on h'cap debut and could improve again for return to 1m; pace angle.
7th	6 7th (6) (6/1 +57%) Old Mexican		6 6/1(+57%)																															(6) Old Mexican 6/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, left previous efforts well behind when fourth of 13 in minor event at this C&D 37 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Modest form in first 2 C&D starts but improvement when ahead of Bergamasco latest.
8th	10 8th (10) (14/1 -65%) Gregorina		14 14/1(-65%)																															(10) Gregorina 14/1, Creditable third of 7 in handicap (4/1) at this C&D 10 days ago, well positioned. Trainer going well. Best run yet when beaten roughly 1l in a C&D handicap last week but she's 3lb wrong here.
9th	4 9th (4) (16/1 -88%) Exceeding		16 16/1(-88%)																															(4) Exceeding 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 15/2, good fifth of 10 in handicap at this course (6f) 14 days ago, running on late. Significantly up in trip. Improved when 4th in November and bounced back from lesser run when beaten 3l latest.
10th	3 10th (3) (9/2 +31%) Butterfly Bush		4.5 9/2(+31%)																															(3) Butterfly Bush 9/2, Thrice-raced maiden. 25/1, showed more than previously back from 6 months off when third of 14 in maiden at this C&D 14 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Marked improvement for step up in trip when beaten 1l over C&D latest; may build on that.

LTO Selection:

BUTTERFLY BUSH put her first two underwhelming starts behind her when hitting the frame on her all-weather debut over C&D earlier in the month. The three-year-old filly makes her handicap bow off a mark of 72, which could prove to be a lenient rating. Blue Soul finished third on her first start in the handicap ranks over 7f here last month and should go well off a 2lb higher rating, while Old Mexican is worth monitoring in the market on his handicap debut.

An open-looking 3-y-o handicap with the vote in favour of BLUE SOUL. Ger Lyons' filly shaped well with a view to stepping back in trip when third over 7f here last month and could yet have more to offer on the back of just 4 career starts. Exceeding also rates the type to do better and along with the selection's stablemate Alto Sax, heads up the dangers.

If BUTTERFLY BUSH finds improvement for her recent return, she could be the one to beat with a good mark to work with on h'cap debut

LTO Selection:

---

LOCAL GIRL posted her best effort yet when she was a half-length second to the now 83-rated Pier Pressure over this course and distance in November and a repeat of that level could suffice in this modest-looking maiden. Expound sets the standard on the official ratings and is feared most with first-time cheekpieces added, while Shanadar is closely matched with the selection, having finished a length and a half behind her in third in that aforementioned race. Come On The Lads is another to consider.

EXPOUND stands out on form and his new yard could get more out of him, so he takes preference over Shanadar, who also returns from a break. Come On The Lads can feature if back to the sort of form he showed on debut.

COME ON THE LADS could go well after an eyecatching run last week and this drop in trip may suit

1	12 1st (12) (7/2 -40%) Manhattan Dreamer		3.5 7/2(-40%)																															(12) Manhattan Dreamer 7/2, Promising type. 4/1, third of 10 in minor event at this course (6f) 10 days ago. The one to beat. Recent third here over 6f arguably the best form on offer; big chance if staying.

Brother to 3 winners, including useful 2-y-o 5f winner Frozen Angel and 7f-8.6f winner He's A Gentleman. Likely type on paper and interesting to see what the market has to say. Dark Angel colt; draw possibly not ideal on debut but market support likely significant.
3	15 3rd (15) (8/1 +33%) Punta Coco		8 8/1(+33%)																															(15) Punta Coco 8/1, Once-raced filly. Ninth of 23 in maiden (40/1) at the Curragh (6f, good to soft) on debut, faring best of those held up. Off 159 days. Open to improvement. RESERVE.

Off 140 days. Each-way chance if able to build on that effort. Some turf debut promise in September; should take to this surface.
5th	4 5th (4) (8/1 +33%) Genesis		8 8/1(+33%)																															(4) Genesis 8/1, Prince of Lir gelding. Half-brother to useful 6f-1m winner Dandy Warhol. Dam 1¼m winner. Doesn't appeal as a probable first-time-out winner. Newcomer likely all the better for the experience.

7th	9 7th (9) (16/1 +43%) Whatswrongnow		16 16/1(+43%)																															(9) Whatswrongnow 16/1, Cotai Glory gelding. Dam, maiden (stayed 8.5f), half-sister to useful 7f/1m winner Emboss. Market should point the way. Debutant has widest of draws and others preferred.
8th	2 8th (2) (25/1 -14%) Dark Blue Diamond		25 25/1(-14%)																															(2) Dark Blue Diamond 25/1, €25,000 yearling, U S Navy Flag gelding. Dam 1m winner out of smart winner up to 1m (2-y-o 7f winner) Hen Night. Worth a second look in the betting. Encouraging jockey booking for debut so worth a market check.

Eighth of 13 in minor event at this course (8f, 150/1) 37 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Slow-starter both outings over 6f; extra furlong should suit and potential improver.
11th	6 11th (6) (80/1 -60%) My Mate Tony		80 80/1(-60%)																															(6) My Mate Tony 80/1, Thrice-raced colt. 100/1, last of 14 in maiden at this course (8f) 14 days ago. Trio of undistinguished runs at this venue, impossible to make a case for on that evidence.
12th	1 12th (1) (40/1 +50%) Albion Power		40 40/1(+50%)																															(1) Albion Power 40/1, Slade Power colt. Half-brother to 1m winner Tara Power. Likely to come on for the run. Half-brother to 1m AW winner Tara Power may need this first experience.

MANHATTAN DREAMER performed with credit when a close-up third over 6f here recently. This first attempt over 7f could unlock some more improvement, which would make Adrian Murray's filly tough to beat. Emerald Eclipse is a potential fly in the ointment on his opening bid and any market support for the Joseph O'Brien-trained colt would have to be respected, with I Bid You Ajou also worthy of consideration on his return to this distance.

The step up to this trip should suit MANHATTAN DREAMER, who has shaped well both starts here over 6f and she remains open to improvement. Newcomer Emerald Eclipse ticks plenty of the right boxes on paper and it will look significant if the market speaks in his favour. I Bid You Ajou and Sobriety Blue are others to consider.

Not much strength in depth here with MANHATTAN DREAMER (nap) taken to see off I Bid You Ajou

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.
