MINT MAN has been placed here on a number of occasions and appears to have found a good opportunity to open his account. The Pat Murphy-trained gelding went close in a 6f maiden this autumn and didn't enjoy the clearest of passages when again narrowly denied in a handicap over C&D last Friday. The selection put in a below par effort here on his penultimate start when finishing behind Crystal Luna but, on the balance of form, should come out on top. Magic Force filled the runner-up spot twice over this trip as a juvenile and tries this surface for the first time.

MINT MAN bounced back to his best here last week and looks the one to beat in the opener. Crystal Luna and Magic Force can also make their presence felt.

This could provide five-time runner-up MINT MAN with an overdue success. A reproduction of last week's handicap third might suffice.

AUTOCRAT comes here in good form compared to most of his rivals and may be able to follow up a recent handicap success over an extended 1m2f. The selection has gained all four career wins at this venue including over this trip and Nicola Burns again claims a valuable 7lb. Away He Goes is the clear pick on form and was second in a Listed race at Meydan early last year. However, he now reappears after a lengthy absence and expectations don't appear too high considering the lowly valuation he's put in at here. Timourid enters calculations on his second to Nibiru over an extended 1m2f here in October, while Rockview Consort and Infatuator are others to consider.

Denis Hogan holds the key to this race. GOD OF THUNDER, who was pretty useful on AW for Richard Hannon, is the mount of Joey Sheridan from the yard's trio and is preferred to Timourid. Rhythm And Tyne was successful twice at this venue at a similar time last year and would enter the reckoning if the betting suggests he's expected to stage a revival back on AW. The other Hogan runner Away He Goes would pick up and carry these at his best but he hasn't been seen for 21 months.

Denis Hogan has a good strike-rate in claimers and TIMOURID might be worth chancing having gone close in a course claimer in October

CALRISSIANA has shown promise in four outings notably when third behind the odds-on Minnie Hauk over this trip at Leopardstown. It's a concern that she appeared to run below that form when switched to this surface last month and there are a number of interesting newcomers to keep a close eye on. Heather makes plenty of appeal on pedigree being a sister to Irish Derby winner Latrobe while Beautiful Affair is by Wootton Bassett out of a winning Galileo mare and has gained some experience in a barrier trial. Any market moves for Electric Beauty, Love Sonnet or Pekan would be significant.

HEATHER is bred to be smart and gets the nod to make a winning debut before market clues. Calrissiana has the form to be in the thick of the action if bouncing back from a laboured effort over C&D recently, with Sweet Illusions another to watch closely in the betting having already shown some promise in a barrier trial.

This trip shoud be fine as a starting point for HEATHER, a sister to Irish Derby winner Latrobe and Oak second Pink Dogwood

VANILLA BABY had Movin And Groovin, Kensington Hope, Romantic War and Star Allure all behind when runner-up to Tomarlo over C&D last month. The Joseph O'Brien-trained filly subsequently didn't enjoy a clear passage when finishing behind Movin And Groovin over 7f and two days later lost her chance at the start over 5f. Ado McGuinness' charge is probably best suited by a longer trip while Bansha Belle and Brigadier Kakuru both try handicap company for the first time. The former ran well over this trip on debut while Brigadier Kakuru has also shown pace and Colin Keane is a significant booking.

BRIGADIER KAKURU left his previous form behind when fourth at this course last month and remains low mileage. He can get off the mark. Bansha Belle and Movin And Groovin are feared most.

It could pay to side with BRIGADIER KAKURU (nap) who appeared not to stay 7f last time and should be suited by a return to 6f now

SPYCRAFT cost 310,000 guineas as a yearling and gets the vote to make a winning debut. The Siyouni colt out of an unraced daughter of Invincible Spirit hails from the family of multiple Group 1 winner Magical. Stablemate Wannabe Royal cost 150,000 guineas as a yearling and is by Wootton Bassett out of a Group 3 winner, while Nepal is another newcomer to note and is stoutly bred on the dam's side. Kayamite showed some promise on debut in mid-division behind Misappropriation over C&D last month and on a line through Fortuna Vera may hold an edge over Frankton.

The betting will likely be informative here. SPYCRAFT is probably the Joseph O'Brien first string judged on jockey bookings and gets the vote before any market clues are known. Frankton more than hinted at promise on his C&D debut and is second choice with Colin Keane taking the ride. The other O'Brien runner Wannabe Royal is also bred to be useful.

Not much to go on here. The vote goes to SPYCRAFT, a £310,000 purchase who is out of an unraced mare from a strong family

FERRARI DESERT has progressed well since joining Mark Fahey this year and had the slow starting Golden Days behind when making a successful transition to the Polytrack over C&D. The selection was subsequently third behind Shaaden and Jackie Brown and that form has been well advertised since. Golden Days has gained all four career wins over this trip and having stayed on into third last time behind Finsceal Annie, now replaces cheekpieces with a visor. Circles, Harry The Rogue, Draiocht and Hastily are others for the shortlist.

GOLDEN DAYS has shaped well here the last twice so could be the answer with a good-value apprentice booked. Harry The Rogue and Ferrari Desert head the dangers.

This can go the way of course and distance specialist, CIRCLES, who shaped with plenty of promise on last month's return

HIJO DE LA LUNA is still a maiden after 19 starts but has dropped down to a competitive mark and gave plenty of encouragement last time when beating all bar Numidia over C&D with Ranko Express only about a length behind in sixth. The application of cheekpieces recently appears to have helped the selection to concentrate, while Tassarolo rates a threat having stayed on over a mile on his handicap debut last week and should appreciate this longer trip. Waystar has shown promise on her latest two starts over 1m4f and could be suited by this shorter distance.

RANKO EXPRESS was far from disgraced and is entitled to be sharper for his first start for six months when midfield in a C&D handicap 12 days ago and, lurking on a handy mark, he could be worth chancing to come out on top. Hijo de La Luna, Buckhead Betty and Limestone Red are a trio of others to consider.

The weaker of the two divisions and long-standing maiden HIJO DE LA LUNA can take advantage after a narrow defeat over C&D last time

GALLO DELL CIELO showed improved form when getting up close home to land a 16-runner mile handicap at Gowran and has shaped well on both outings since over C&D. The selection went close behind Barretstown and was again prominent throughout when beating all bar the progressive The World's Astage. The Real Screamer appreciated a step up in trip and the switch to this surface when scoring in great style over C&D last month and the Awtaad gelding should again give a good account off his revised mark. Is She Now wasn't beaten far on handicap debut here last time while Omakase is another to consider.

OMAKASE shaped well on her first try over this trip here a month ago and with a career-low mark to exploit, she could be the answer. The Real Screamer was better than ever when successful here last time and is feared most, though Gallo Dell Cielo also arrives on the back of a much-improved showing.

A chance is taken on the unexposed filly, SAGA DES AIGLES who showed more in a maiden here recently and has been given a fair mark

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.
