14:00 Dundalk Claimer 8f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	2 1st (2) (6/4 +57%) Brains	1.5 6/4(+57%)	(2) Brains 6/4, Latest win at Lingfield in June. 80/1, wasted no time getting back to form when sixth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 53 days ago. Merits consideration in this company. Front-runner has 10 AW wins in Britain; weighted to go well.
2	8 2nd (8) (7/1 +42%) Pinball Wizard	7 7/1(+42%)	(8) Pinball Wizard 7/1, Latest win at Gowran in May. 11/2, below form ninth of 15 in handicap there (8f, good) 8 weeks ago. Kempton AW winner back on AW with a good draw but fair bit to find on ratings.
3	14 3rd (14) (14/1 -40%) Spirit Of Paradise	14 14/1(-40%)	(14) Spirit Of Paradise 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 17/2, again ran poorly when fifth of 6 in maiden at Gowran (9.4f, heavy) 16 days ago. Makes all-weather debut. Heavy ground hasn't suited of late; AW could suit so definitely one to consider.
4	3 4th (3) (28/1 -40%) Mads Black Eights	28 28/1(-40%)	(3) Mads Black Eights 28/1, Course winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 9/1, shaped as if still in good form when fifth of 14 in handicap at this course (10.7f) 19 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Down in trip. Trip not ideal, plenty to find on ratings with some of these and draw hasn't been kind.
5th	4 5th (4) (8/1 +11%) Rocky Dreams	8 8/1(+11%)	(4) Rocky Dreams 8/1, 7-time course winner, latest in July. Blinkered for 1st time, bit below form seventh of 14 in handicap (18/1) at this course (7f) 5 days ago. Best at shorter, badly drawn and fair bit to find on ratings with some of these.
6th	13 6th (13) (40/1 -60%) Invincible Larne	40 40/1(-60%)	(13) Invincible Larne 40/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 80/1, last of 14 in handicap at this course (7f) 19 days ago. AW wins in Britain over shorter; bit to prove now and first attempt at 1m.
7th	11 7th (11) (16/1 -33%) Comfort Line	16 16/1(-33%)	(11) Comfort Line 16/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. Again ran below form when sixth of 12 in claimer at this course (10.7f, 17/2) 12 days ago. Back down in trip. Yet to convince on this surface and wide draw makes this difficult.
8th	5 8th (5) (11/4 +50%) Dumb Love	2.75 11/4(+50%)	(5) Dumb Love 11/4, Winner at Bellewstown in September. 11/2, respectable second of 14 in claimer at this course (7f) 5 days ago, no match for winner. Last Friday's claiming second here will appreciate longer trip but badly drawn.
9th	1 9th (1) (11/1 -120%) Big Baby Bull	11 11/1(-120%)	(1) Big Baby Bull 11/1, Latest win at Limerick in June. Proved to be a disappointment when eighth of 12 in claimer (10/3) at Leopardstown (7.2f, good) 11 weeks ago. First run for yard after leaving Denis Hogan and has to be taken seriously. Claimed at Leopardstown in August and hasn't run since; best form is at 7f.
10th	9 10th (9) (125/1 -525%) Roderick	125 125/1(-525%)	(9) Roderick 125/1, Latest win at Killarney in July. Offered little returned to Flat when tenth of 11 in claimer (9/1) at Roscommon (10.3f, good to soft) 10 weeks ago. Back down in trip. Killarney claiming winner in July but not much since; yet to prove he's as effective on AW.
11th	10 11th (10) (33/1 +0%) Zahee	33 33/1(+0%)	(10) Zahee 33/1, Unreliable type. C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 40/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap at this course (7f) 40 days ago. Dual C&D winner in 2021 but recent form none too encouraging.
12th	12 12th (12) (150/1 -127%) Johnny The Star	150 150/1(-127%)	(12) Johnny The Star 150/1, 100/1, failed to match debut form under a contrasting ride when fourteenth of 16 in maiden at Naas (8f, soft) 18 days ago. Two recent runs don't suggest he'll play a role although open to improvement.
13th	6 13th (6) (200/1 -100%) Ertikaaz	200 200/1(-100%)	(6) Ertikaaz 200/1, Blinkered for 1st time, last of 13 in handicap at Cork (10.2f, good to soft, 12/1). Off 19 months. Down in trip. Best watched given the absence. Absent since April 2022 and can only be watched.

LTO Selection:

SPIRIT OF PARADISE appears suited by decent ground on the evidence of her five runs this year and hopefully she will appreciate this surface. The daughter of Invincible Spirit showed promise when fourth at Gowran in August and again the following month when filling the same position behind Time To Boogie in a Navan maiden that has thrown up a couple of winners. Brains has gained all bar one of his career wins on the all-weather and, following a couple of turf starts, only weakened in the closing stages at Kempton last time. May Night is the pick on ratings but has shown very little in three outings since successful at Wolverhampton back in the spring while Dumb Love will be suited by the return to a mile after finishing well over seven in a claimer last Friday.

BIG BABY BULL has had just a smattering of starts on a synthetic surface and having joined a yard which excels in these events, he's taken to get back to winning ways at the expense of fellow 7-y-o Brains, who produced his best effort for his current handler when a close sixth at Kempton in September. Dumb Love and Spirit of Paradise can fight out minor honours in a wide-open claimer.

The vote goes to SPIRIT OF PARADISE, who hasn't always looked the most straightforward but appeals on her summer maiden form

14:00 Dundalk Claimer 8f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:30 Dundalk Handicap 8f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
13	13 (13) (4/1 +47%) Silkies Sib	4 4/1(+47%)	(13) Silkies Sib 4/1, Winner at Tipperary in September. 9/2, good second of 14 in handicap at Gowran (8.3f, heavy) 15 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Progressive on turf of late, good chance of transferring that form to AW: contender.
3	3 (3) (5/2 +50%) Exquisite Acclaim	2.5 5/2(+50%)	(3) Exquisite Acclaim 5/2, Improved on recent efforts to win 14-runner handicap (5/4) at this course (7f) 5 days ago, just holding on. Player. All out to win last Friday over 7f; 7lb penalty, extra 1f/outside draw makes this tough.
7	7 (7) (7/1 +30%) Dromantine	7 7/1(+30%)	(7) Dromantine 7/1, Course winner. 9/1, respectable sixth of 13 in handicap at this course (7f) 40 days ago. Best form here over 7f, stamina concerns remain at this trip.
1	1 (1) (7/1 -17%) Rockbury Lad	7 7/1(-17%)	(1) Rockbury Lad 7/1, C&D winner. Winner here in September. Creditable second of 14 in handicap at this C&D (10/3) 33 days ago, no match for winner. Improvement over C&D last twice; career-high mark but good draw.
2	2 (2) (9/2 +10%) Barbapapa	4.5 9/2(+10%)	(2) Barbapapa 9/2, C&D winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Leopardstown in August. Creditable second of 10 in handicap at Laytown (7.2f, 16/5) 50 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Enters calculations. C&D maiden winner in good form of late but remains on decent mark for in-form yard.
14	14 (14) (9/1 -50%) The Bog Bank	9 9/1(-50%)	(14) The Bog Bank 9/1, C&D winner. 13/2, respectable 2½ lengths third of 14 to Exquisite Acclaim in handicap at this course (7f) 5 days ago. Has good chance on pick of form. Staying-on third to Exquisite Acclaim here on Friday; extra trip to suit so big player.
6	6 (6) (9/1 +0%) Bobby K	9 9/1(+0%)	(6) Bobby K 9/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in July. 8 lengths eleventh of 14 to Exquisite Acclaim in handicap at this course (7f, 9/1) 5 days ago. Others more persuasive. Badly drawn here last Friday; top rider now takes over and better draw so don't rule out.
9	9 (9) (20/1 -25%) Darkened	20 20/1(-25%)	(9) Darkened 20/1, 22/1, first run since leaving Adrian Brendan Joyce when good second of 14 in handicap at this course (10.7f) 19 days ago, well positioned. Back down in trip. Just denied over 1m2f here recently; not the best of draws but considered off 3lb higher.
5	5 (5) (33/1 -83%) Limestone Red	33 33/1(-83%)	(5) Limestone Red 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Below form tenth of 16 in maiden at Naas (8f, soft, 66/1) 18 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Makes handicap debut. Switches to AW for handicap debut; high initial mark but improvement possible.
11	11 (11) (33/1 +0%) Fastman	33 33/1(+0%)	(11) Fastman 33/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Tenth of 14 in handicap (16/1) at Gowran (8.3f, heavy) 15 days ago. Heavy ground hasn't suited of late; return to AW could see a pick-up in fortunes.
10	10 (10) (33/1 +18%) Albion Princess	33 33/1(+18%)	(10) Albion Princess 33/1, Good fifth of 13 in handicap at Leopardstown (10f, heavy, 125/1) 10 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Cheekpieces back on. AW winner in Britain; not one to dismiss off potentially nice mark.
4	4 (4) (66/1 -32%) Navalny	66 66/1(-32%)	(4) Navalny 66/1, Last of 13 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, good, 80/1). Off 123 days. Significantly back up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Henry De Bromhead. Harshly handicapped after Listed run here last year; now down 22lb from initial mark.
8	8 (8) (100/1 -203%) Apprentice	100 100/1(-203%)	(8) Apprentice 100/1, Winner at Tipperary in April. 40/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at this course (10.7f) 12 days ago. Back down in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Tame effort here 12 days ago; back in trip and cheekpieces tried.
12	12 (12) (100/1 -100%) Le Comte De Frou	100 100/1(-100%)	(12) Le Comte De Frou 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 25/1 and visored for 1st time, eleventh of 14 in handicap at the Curragh (10f, soft) 20 days ago. Initial handicap efforts disappointing; back on AW but remains opposable.

LTO Selection:

THE BOG BANK has won twice over C&D and can now reverse places with Exquisite Acclaim after keeping on into third behind that rival over seven here last Friday. The Tom McCourt-trained mare has also won twice on turf at this trip and receives weight all-round with James Ryan claiming a valuable 5lb. Rockbury Lad gained a deserved win here last month and again ran well subsequently behind stablemate Darkdeserthighway but needs things to fall right coming from off the pace. Silkies Sib also comes here in good form after winning at Tipperary and finishing second to the progressive Rough And Tough at Gowran but has yet to race on this surface while Barbapapa, Dromantine and Darkened are others to consider.

THE BOG BANK was a decent third back here on Friday and remains of interest off what is a good mark (2 lb lower than for her win here in the summer). Barbapapa and Exquisite Acclaim head the dangers.

Although having a wide draw to overcome it could pay to stick with SILKIES SIB on AW debut

14:30 Dundalk Handicap 8f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:00 Dundalk Maiden 6f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
4	4 (4) (4/1 +27%) Fickou	4 4/1(+27%)	(4) Fickou 4/1, Once-raced colt. 12/1, fifth of 15 in maiden at Navan (5.8f, heavy) on debut 14 days ago, not knocked about. Should have more to offer. Yard also represented by newcomer Clouds Collide. Recent Navan debut not without promise; improvement likely so don't rule out.
6	6 (6) (5/1 -11%) Go Go Gonzo	5 5/1(-11%)	(6) Go Go Gonzo 5/1, Foaled February 6. €10,000 yearling, Caravaggio gelding. Dam, 7f winner, half-sister to useful 6f-7f winner Castle Hill Cassie. Noteworthy newcomer from a leading yard and the market will likely be informative. Newcomer from respected source, market support likely significant.
8	8 (8) (8/1 +68%) Anvika	8 8/1(+68%)	(8) Anvika 8/1, Twice-raced filly. Ninth of 16 in maiden (50/1) at the Curragh (7f, soft) 20 days ago. Hood on 1st time. Engaged 12.00 the Curragh Tuesday. Promise in both Curragh runs; hooded now for AW debut and drop in trip may suit.
2	2 (2) (11/10 +20%) Take Me To Church	1.1 11/10(+20%)	(2) Take Me To Church 11/10, Thrice-raced colt. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, second of 10 in maiden at Naas (5.9f, heavy, 17/2) 17 days ago. Booking of Whelan a plus. The one to beat. Yard also saddles Bergamasco. Recent Naas second a big improvement; big player if he can transfer that form to AW.
1	1 (1) (14/1 +13%) Exceeding	14 14/1(+13%)	(1) Exceeding 14/1, Foaled February 23. €35,000 yearling, Exceed And Excel gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 1½m winner (stayed 2m) The Mediterranean out of smart 2-y-o 5f/6f winner (stayed 1m) Flashy Wings. Grandam a smart sprinting 2yo; newcomer worth a market check.
9	9 (9) (14/1 -133%) Dramatic Entrance	14 14/1(-133%)	(9) Dramatic Entrance 14/1, Lightly-raced filly. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, ninth of 13 in nursery (12/1) at Naas (5.9f, soft) 18 days ago. Makes polytrack debut and solid each-way claims judged on what she showed on her penultimate start. Back from handicaps; not out of it but surprising if she played a major role.
3	3 (3) (22/1 -57%) Bergamasco	22 22/1(-57%)	(3) Bergamasco 22/1, Twice-raced gelding. Tongue strap on for 1st time, fifth of 11 in maiden at Naas (5.9f, good, 7/1) 66 days ago. May well do better. Needs to improve on turf form and appears the lesser likely of the Davison pair.
10	10 (10) (28/1 +0%) Clouds Collide	28 28/1(+0%)	(10) Clouds Collide 28/1, Foaled April 25. €10,000 yearling, Muhaarar filly. Half-sister to 6f winner Cool Lightning and 6f-7f winner Mezzo Soprano. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner. Newcomer likely second-choice of the Oliver pair.
5	5 (5) (33/1 -136%) Miss Alaska	33 33/1(-136%)	(5) Miss Alaska 33/1, Once-raced filly. 9/1 and tongue strap on, twelfth of 14 in maiden at Gowran (7f, soft) on debut. Off 95 days and will need to leave that effort well behind if she's to feature prominently here. Time off since disappointing turf debut; sounder surface but watching brief advised.
7	7 (7) (100/1 -150%) Hemight	100 100/1(-150%)	(7) Hemight 100/1, Once-raced colt. 33/1, last of 10 in maiden at Leopardstown (7.1f, heavy) on debut 11 days ago, slowly away. Last of 10 on recent Leopardstown debut, seems best watched for now.

LTO Selection:

TAKE ME TO CHURCH appears to be progressing and showed improved form when fitted with cheek pieces over this trip at Naas last time. The Jack Davison-trained colt beat all bar Goal Exceeded on soft ground and hopefully will handle this surface. Any market move for the Ger Lyons-trained newcomer Go Go Gonzo would be significant in what appears a modest maiden, while Fickou attracted some support in the morning prior to his debut at Navan and indicated ability when keeping on into fifth behind Vassula Tyden. Dramatic Entrance ran well on her first handicap start when runner-up to Glamorously at Navan and probably found the ground too testing when subsequently disappointing behind the same rival in the Birdcatcher at Naas.

This represents a golden opportunity for TAKE ME TO CHURCH to get off the mark on the back of an improved effort in a Naas maiden 17 days ago. That said, it will look significant if newcomer Go Go Gonzo is strong in the betting and it would be no surprise were Fickou to build on the promise of his debut fifth in a 15-runner Navan maiden a fortnight ago. Dramatic Entrance also enters calculations, for all that she was below par last time.

An ordinary enough maiden in which TAKE ME TO CHURCH holds the best form credentials, albeit on softer ground

LTO Selection:

GREENFINCH employed front-running tactics at the Curragh when a creditable second to an impressive debut winner. The well-bred daughter of Justify can put that early pace to good use here to negate the impact of a wide draw and should take a bit of beating. Red Hugh O'Donnell represents Paddy Twomey who sent out the winner of the aforementioned Curragh maiden and the homebred son of Dark Angel is fitted with a tongue-tie for his first start. Monasterboice was fifth in another Curragh maiden over this trip in which the first three home were from Ballydoyle. He can get involved if suited by this surface.

TOURIST brings some quite useful form to the table and is given one more chance now stepping up in trip for his AW debut. There should be more to come from Greenfinch for the Aidan O'Brien team so she's second choice. Her stablemate Hallowed is one of a few interesting newcomers who need monitoring closely in the betting.

Front-running tactics brought about marked improvement from GREENFINCH at the Curragh and could negate a high draw here

3	3 (3) (11/1 -144%) Han Solo	11 11/1(-144%)	(3) Han Solo 11/1, 10/1, improved on recent efforts to win 25-runner handicap at Cork (7f, good to firm) 56 days ago.

Respectable fifth of 14 in handicap at this course (8f, 14/1) 40 days ago, running on. Looks competitive on form. Regular visitor was only beaten 1l when fifth over 1m here last time; will be played late.
6	6 (6) (17/2 +29%) Golden Days	8.5 17/2(+29%)	(6) Golden Days 17/2, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Below form eleventh of 19 in handicap (20/1) at the Curragh (7f, soft) 20 days ago. One placed effort on AW; 7f is her trip and won on soft and good turf in July; held since.

Bit below form seventh of 14 in handicap at this course (8f, 12/1) 40 days ago, not ideally placed. Visor back on, tongue strap back on. Not a bad run without headgear over 1m here last time and goes well for this rider.

Makes polytrack debut. Tongue strap on 1st time. Caught the eye on handicap debut at the Curragh but hasn't built on that; AW debut.
12	12 (12) (22/1 +45%) Theriverrunsdeep	22 22/1(+45%)	(12) Theriverrunsdeep 22/1, Course winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. 14¾ lengths last of 16 to Golden Days in handicap (18/1) at Gowran (7f, soft). Off 95 days. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Three wins here; back from a break and well handicapped on best form; new headgear.
14	14 (14) (33/1 +0%) Tip The Can	33 33/1(+0%)	(14) Tip The Can 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Sixth of 14 in handicap (40/1) at this course (8f) 33 days ago. Fair sixth here on handicap debut where he didn't see out 1m; this trip might suit better.

10	10 (10) (80/1 -60%) Gormanston	80 80/1(-60%)	(10) Gormanston 80/1, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Last of 11 in claimer at Gowran (9.4f, good to soft, 40/1). Off 162 days. Back down in trip. Dual course winner, including over this trip; decent C&D run last winter; off since May.

LTO Selection:

INTERNATIONAL LADY was drawn one when just denied over C&D on Friday. She is turned out again quickly before her revised mark kicks in and has again been handed the inside stall. Both of her wins have come under Colin Keane. Stormie Outlook ran very well on all-weather debut when runner-up over C&D. She's now 4lb higher but has to be on the shortlist. Storm Eric was a winner and twice second over C&D earlier in the year. Fourth at Galway when last seen in September, he will enjoy the return to this surface.

STORM ERIC wasn't seen to best effect at Galway last time and looks worth siding with having dropped to 4 lb below the mark he defied over C&D in the spring. International Lady went close over C&D on Friday and rates a threat with Colin Keane taking over in the saddle now. Stormie Outlook is another who arrives on the back of a good recent effort here and also makes the shortlist.

Having been pipped from trap 1 here on Friday, INTERNATIONAL LADY has again got the luck of the draw and can go one place better

Tongue strap back on. Potentially well handicapped. Third over C&D last year and touched off at Down Royal in the summer; four months off.

6	6 (6) (28/1 -56%) The Fog Horn	28 28/1(-56%)	(6) The Fog Horn 28/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Gowran in August. 28/1, fourteenth of 17 in handicap at Fairyhouse (6f, good to soft) 44 days ago. Others make more appeal.

14	14 (14) (80/1 -60%) Static Charge	80 80/1(-60%)	(14) Static Charge 80/1, Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. 100/1, tenth of 14 in handicap at this course (8f) 40 days ago. Maiden not beaten far over 1m here last time and second in C&D nursery but hard to fancy.

LTO Selection:

The money came for TRISHULI RIVER on all-weather debut over C&D and Shane Crawley's filly showed that the support was not misplaced when finishing second. She's not as well drawn this time but that latest run was a big step forward and she can go one better off a 2lb higher mark with a tongue-tie now fitted. Nibras Rainbow was a winner over this trip on the Polytrack surface at Newcastle last year and ran her best race for current connections when fourth at Listowel last time. Pulse Of Shanghai has been running well over sprint trips but is a three-time winner over C&D and is another that has to enter calculations.

TRISHULI RIVER found improvement when second over C&D last time and a tongue strap could bring about further progress, so she's preferred to the in-form Pulse of Shanghai, with Geological also considered.

The money came for TRISHULI RIVER on AW debut and she duly took a big step forward. Now fitted with a tongue-tie, she can land this.

Info	Form	Odds
12	12 (12) (Evens +56%) Fairytale Princess	0 Evens(+56%)	(12) Fairytale Princess Evens, Winner here in September. 6/5, good second of 14 in handicap at this C&D 33 days ago. Capable of going one better. Won over 10.5f here in September and narrowly beaten over C&D a week later; obvious chance.
5	5 (5) (11/4 +0%) Alfalfa	2.75 11/4(+0%)	(5) Alfalfa 11/4, 7/2, very good second of 19 in handicap at the Curragh (10f, heavy) 1 day ago (first past the post but subsequently disqualified). Another bold show likely. Demoted from first for causing interference at Curragh yesterday; well held only AW start.
9	9 (9) (13/2 +24%) Wajaaha	6.5 13/2(+24%)	(9) Wajaaha 13/2, C&D winner. Very good second of 14 in handicap at this course (10.7f, 28/1) 19 days ago, no match for winner. Enters calculations. C&D winner a year ago and was second over 10.5f here last time.

6	6 (6) (25/1 -194%) Jake Peter	25 25/1(-194%)	(6) Jake Peter 25/1, Course winner. Won 9-runner handicap (18/1) at Killarney (14.2f, good) 69 days ago. Not an obvious sort to follow up. Grand dual-purpose horse has won here; successful over 1m6f at Killarney in August.
8	8 (8) (33/1 +0%) Nomenclature	33 33/1(+0%)	(8) Nomenclature 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 13 in handicap (25/1) at Gowran (11.8f, heavy) 15 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Others more persuasive. Not beaten far in Listowel maiden two starts back but tailed off last time; AW debut.

14	14 (14) (50/1 -52%) Brave Thought	50 50/1(-52%)	(14) Brave Thought 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 28/1, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Punchestown (9f, good to soft) 49 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Hard to fancy. Well beaten on handicap debut at Punchestown and steps up in trip.
1	1 (1) (66/1 -100%) Magnetic North	66 66/1(-100%)	(1) Magnetic North 66/1, 4 wins from 13 runs this year. Latest win at Ballinrobe in July. 18/1 and blinkered for 1st time, seventh of 12 in claimer at this course (10.7f) 12 days ago. Good strike-rate on turf but never won on AW and well held here lately.

3	3 (3) (150/1 -275%) Mille Miglia	150 150/1(-275%)	(3) Mille Miglia 150/1, 100/1, fifteenth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.6f, good) 22 days ago. Fair on the Flat, poor on last Flat outing. Up against it. 1m4f winner at Kempton when trained in Britain; poor form Flat and hurdles in Ireland.

LTO Selection:

WAJAAHA was a useful dual-purpose performer for Charles Byrnes and ran his best race for current connections when second over an extended 1m2f here last time. Dan King got a good tune out of the eight-year-old on that occasion and retains the partnership on the C&D winner who might be able to defy a 4lb higher mark. Fairytale Princess was a ready winner over a shorter trip here before being narrowly denied over C&D. She's likely to contend from just a 1lb higher mark. Cosmic Lady ran okay in a couple of maidens and is fitted with cheekpieces for her handicap debut. Both her dam and grandam were all-weather winners which makes her of interest on her first visit here.

FAIRYTALE PRINCESS is on an upward curve and only found one too good over C&D last time, so she's fancied to get back to winning ways. Alfalfa is regarded as the main threat ahead of Wajaaha.

The progressive Fairytale Princess has obvious claims but WAJAAHA ran really well here under King last time and is the selection

11	11 (11) (12/1 +0%) Picpoul	12 12/1(+0%)	(11) Picpoul 12/1, C&D winner who failed to build on the promise of last run when only seventh of 14 in C&D handicap when last seen 9 months ago. Market useful on this return to action. Dual C&D winner but has been off nine months so entitled to come on for the run.
4	4 (4) (14/1 -40%) Believe In Science	14 14/1(-40%)	(4) Believe In Science 14/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. 9/1, not seen to best effect when seventh of 11 in handicap at Naas (10.5f, heavy) 17 days ago, slowly away.

12	12 (12) (50/1 -52%) Navajo River	50 50/1(-52%)	(12) Navajo River 50/1, Winner of a Roscommon maiden in August but has yet to reproduce that form. 200-1 maiden winner on turf but well held first two handicaps; just second try on AW.

LTO Selection:

GREY FABLE has been a little disappointing since finishing second over this trip at Roscommon in May but is a possible improver switching to this surface for the first time. Sheila Lavery's grey is related to several all-weather winners and may be able to see out his race a bit better on the Polytrack. Celtic Revival is going for his fifth C&D victory of the year and 5lb claimer James Ryan knows him inside out at this stage. The four-year-old has the knack of not winning by too far and has every chance off a 5lb higher mark than for his latest victory in September. Maralinga was a winner over this trip at Tipperary before finishing fourth over 1m2f here. He'll be suited by stepping back up in trip and represents a yard that continues in great form.

BELIEVE IN SCIENCE remains winless following 17 attempts now, but he's edged further down the weights and is worth one more chance to capitalise having not been seen to best effect the last twice. Celtic Revival is running consistently well and seems sure to give another good account, with Ghumama another to consider having run better than for a while on her most recent outing.

C&D specialist Celtic Revival will take beating but maybe GREY FABLE, who has fair turf form, can thwart him if taking to the AW

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.
