Celtic Crown set a clear standard prior to her withdrawal, which makes CAULAINCOURT's task a lot easier. Ger Lyons' gelding let down favourite-backers on his Dundalk debut, but was only just denied on his handicap bow at Naas prior to that and is selected on that basis. Last year's winner Dalvey, with blinkers now replacing cheekpieces, looks the pick of James McAuley's duo, and Autocrat shouldn't be far away either.

The useful CELTIC CROWN stands out on these terms and has performed well around here before, so should prove hard to beat. Dalvey and Caulaincourt are feared most.

CAULAINCOURT went close on h'cap bow 2 runs ago and is less exposed than Celtic Crown who comes out well at the weights

Being held up seemed to work well for MARALINGA at Tipperary early last month so a wide draw here isn't a huge concern. He was a cosy winner last time and, despite a 10lb hike for that, could still be on a competitive mark. The Footstepsinthesand gelding has run well here in the past as well. The Mpex Kid looks the obvious danger having won here last week. He was maybe value for a bit more than his three-quarters of a length win and should run well under 7lb more. Jaafel has been running consistently and it was a solid effort to finish third in a strong contest won by Migdam here last week. He's another that has to come into calculations.

ONLY FOR ME remains a maiden but he's gone with plenty of zest on each of his last 2 starts in maidens and, ridden with a little more restraint returned to handicaps, he could well be up to playing a lead role from this career-low mark. The Impex Kid arrives on the back of success here and is a big threat, with Jaafel and Kitty McFee others in the mix.
Class & Speed Card

MARTINSTOWN ran much better on his second start back when third here last week and there looks more to come from the Galileo colt. He stayed on over a mile and a half to finish third to Ceallach and is fancied to go close now despite dropping back in trip. A strong pace here should suit. San Andreas has gained all his wins over shorter but ran well in Listed company over course and distance when third to Piz Badile late last month. Conor Stone-Walsh takes a useful 7lb off his back now to ease the burden of top-weight. Slieve Binnian was a course and distance three weeks ago and has to be respected in a higher grade now.

MARTINSTOWN is a lightly-raced sort who showed much improved form despite not being seen to best effect when a close third here last week, so he's an appealing candidate from only 2 lb higher in the weights. Cordouan is weighted to reverse C&D form with Slieve Binnian, while San Andreas is another to consider.
Class & Speed Card

KING OF GOSFORD, a winner over course and distance a fortnight ago, is fitted with cheekpieces now and looks open to further improvement. He is lightly raced in handicap company and it would be a surprise if he didn't have another big run in him off 76. Uncle Albert has been running well in nurseries and is place material, while it is also worth keeping an eye on McTenett.

A big-field nursery with a tentative vote going to STARLINER, who is faced with a far more suitable assignment than in the Autumn Stakes at Newmarket last week. What A Squeeze is another who could bounce back now returned to handicap company, with last-time-out winner King of Gosford completing the shortlist.

VON KROLOCK hails from a yard in great form and should go close if adapting to this surface on this first visit to the track. The selection was placed twice in big-field handicaps over this trip at Cork and had Pallasmore Lass about two lengths behind when just denied by Rock Dandy (won again since). Eglish is an obvious threat having won five times at this venue including three over this trip. He's dropped down to a lowly mark and shaped very well after a summer break over the minimum trip here a fortnight ago. Hale Bopp comes here off the back of a course win over a mile last month, while Coviglia won twice at this venue last year and didn't enjoy a clear passage at Thurles last time.

EGLISH returned from a lay-off with a good second here and can go one better now and capitalise on a reduced mark. Course-winner Coviglia and recent course scorer Hale Bopp appeal as the chief threats to James McAuley's mare and can chase home the selection in that order.

ROCK DANDY has progressed steadily since joining Pat Murphy this year scoring twice in the space of five days over this trip at Cork and Roscommon. He probably didn't appreciate soft ground subsequently at the Listowel Festival and is an interesting contender on his first try on the polytrack surface. Bucky Larson has three course wins to his credit over a mile and, while without a victory in nearly a year, has dropped down to an attractive mark. Jalo was claimed out of Noel Meade's yard after getting up on the line to win a maiden over six here last time and, having been tried over various distances, this could well be his optimum trip. Mr Stanley was placed a number of times over this trip for Richard Hannon and now makes his first start for Leanne Breen.

Colin Keane takes the ride again on JALO who gets the nod to add to his recent maiden claiming win over 6f here. Red Cymbal was a good third in a handicap over a shorter trip here last time and is feared most ahead of Mullacash Buzz who hasn't fired on turf lately but knows where the winning post is here.
Class & Speed Card

SHE'S IN THE GAME is well suited by this trip and appreciated a switch to this surface when scoring twice over C&D last winter. The Bill Farrell-trained mare didn't enjoy much luck in running when reappearing after a summer break at Fairyhouse last month but finished well when beaten less than two lengths behind Plume Noire and may bolster her good record at this venue under regular partner Neve Bennett. Vadiana was soundly beaten in that aforementioned Fairyhouse event but appears better suited by a sounder surface and was successful on her only previous outing at this venue in a mile maiden last December. Many Tears bids for a quick follow up after scoring over C&D last Friday, while Alabama Pearl ran well on her only previous all-weather start here last year and was probably unsuited by soft ground at the Curragh last time.

MANY TEARS is still unexposed and found improvement to score over C&D a week ago, so she's well worth a chance to follow up. She's In The Game is a definite threat and Pink Sorrel is liable to bounce back from a poor run.

Dual C&D winner SHE'S IN THE GAME was unlucky-in-running in a Fairyhouse handicap last time but can make amends back on this surface.

RATTLETHEONIONBAG and Cross Border are closely matched on running behind Dagoda over this trip at the Curragh this summer with slight preference given to the Willie Browne-trained filly. The selection was making her debut when finishing well from off the pace to take third on that occasion but the combination of an extra furlong and different tactics didn't see her to best advantage next time at Fairyhouse. Cross Border had Ballysax Lil' Mick about two lengths behind when third at Down Royal last month and was probably unsuited by testing ground at Bellewstown last time. Apple A Dey appears held on that aforementioned Curragh race won by Dagoda while Gerrit's Gem, a half-brother to Group 3 winner Power Under Me, and If But Maybe are two newcomers to keep a close eye on.

BOLD OPTMIST showed ability amidst greenness when fifth at Fairyhouse 100 days ago and there's improvement on the cards, so he's fancied to open his account in first-time cheekpieces. Cross Border is an obvious danger and Rattletheonionbag is a player if able to bounce back to her debut form.

Just in front of Cross Border over this trip at the Curragh when making her debut, RATTLETHEONIONBAG(nap) can confirm that form.

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.
