5th	7 5th (7) (7.5/1 -25%) Shecouldbeanything	7.5 7.5/1(-25%)	(7) Shecouldbeanything 7.5/1, 4/1, didn't need to be at best when winning 7-runner listed mares event at Killarney (17f, good to soft) 82 days ago by a length from Walk With Paul. Makes handicap hurdle debut and could have more to offer. Three-time winner over hurdles; dual Listed winner; off 80 days; mark looks workable.

Went off favourite for the Fred Winter (excuses). 28¼ lengths twelfth of 13 to Fils D'oudairies in Grimes Hurdle at Tipperary (16f, good, 15/2) 29 days ago. Should have come on for that and worth a look. Below form last time in Grade 3 company but third at Punchestown puts him in the mix.
10th	4 10th (4) (25/1 -79%) Lucid Dreams	25 25/1(-79%)	(4) Lucid Dreams 25/1, 9/2, good second of 8 in minor event hurdle at Roscommon (15.5f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut.

12th	11 12th (11) (20/1 -43%) Great Bear	20 20/1(-43%)	(11) Great Bear 20/1, Off 15 months, 7/4, didn't need to improve to win 18-runner novice hurdle at Cork (16.9f, good to soft) 21 days ago, readily.

15th	19 15th (19) (4.5/1 +50%) Sundial	4.5 4.5/1(+50%)	(19) Sundial 4.5/1, Career best when winning 12-runner novice hurdle (10/11) at Kilbeggan (18f, soft) 14 days ago, easily. Fourth in the Fred Winter prior to that and fair shout as the pick of Mark Walsh. Well handicapped based on Boodles run and got off the mark stylishly at Kilbeggan; player.

17th	13 17th (13) (100/1 -52%) Britzka	100 100/1(-52%)	(13) Britzka 100/1, Below form second of 12 in claiming hurdle at Sligo (18.2f, good, 9/4) 52 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Gordon Elliott. Has work to do. Second in Sligo claimer last month; given a chance at the weights for new trainer.
18th	10 18th (10) (40/1 -60%) Nibiru	40 40/1(-60%)	(10) Nibiru 40/1, Unreliable type. Latest win in hurdle at Down Royal in November. Twelfth of 15 in handicap at the Curragh (10f, good, 9/1) 69 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles (refused to race latest start in this sphere). Has some solid handicap form and ran well here before; below form on last Flat outing.
19th	16 19th (16) (100/1 -100%) Wajaaha	100 100/1(-100%)	(16) Wajaaha 100/1, Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle (40/1) at Bellewstown (16.8f, good) 27 days ago. Showed a bit of his old spark when fifth last time but this looks a step too far.

LTO Selection:

SUNDIAL didn't beat much at Kilbeggan a fortnight ago, as is shown by the handicapper leaving his mark alone, but that facile maiden win will have served as a nice confidence booster. That was his first outing since a fine fourth in the Boodles at Cheltenham and he's on a lovely racing weight. Shecouldbeanything also ran well at the Cheltenham Festival when sixth in the mares' novices' hurdle. She has won both starts since and is another whose mark hasn't gone up. Lucid Dreams has done well in a short space of time having only started his career in March, but went up 6lb for finishing second in a Roscommon novice last time. Tekao missed the cut for the Galway Hurdle but has claims on his third in a competitive handicap at Punchestown.

FIVEONEFIVE is progressing well and could take the big step up in his stride and score again. Many of the others can be considered, with Sundial, last year's winner Sit Down Lucy, Shecouldbeanything and Lucid Dreams all leading players.

Having run well at the spring festivals, BUDDY ONE deserves to land a big one and he can make his presence felt down in trip.

LTO Selection:

CAPTAIN MAVERICK was friendless in the market but ran a cracker on debut at Bellewstown when second to a smart-looking newcomer. Headgear is rarely a negative when applied by Dermot Weld and the Free Eagle gelding can go one better. Quickstepping was fourth of 18 on debut at Leopardstown, where the winner looked stakes material and fancied newcomers filled the placings. By soft-ground influence Fast Company, she looks sure to go close. Megarry took a big step forward on his second start when runner-up over this trip at Roscommon, but has more on his plate here. Aafoor, who cost 70,000 euros at the breeze-ups and is from the family of Oaks winner Eswarah, is a newcomer to note.

CAPTAIN MAVERICK made an encouraging start to his career when runner-up at Bellewstown 4 weeks ago and is the percentage call to go one better with improvement on the cards. Megarry stepped up quite markedly on his debut when finding only one too good at Roscommon last month and is an obvious threat, while Aafoor is an interesting newcomer to keep a close eye on in the betting.

When looking at those with experience, MEGARRY looks the pick after shaping nicely when runner-up at Roscommon.

Encouraging fourth of 15 in handicap hurdle (22/1) at Tipperary (20f, good to soft) 29 days ago after 10 months off. Switches from hurdles to chase. Expected to be bang there. Should strip fitter as a result of last month's run over hurdles, might want better ground.
3	20 3rd (20) (4.5/1 +10%) Good Bye Sam	4.5 4.5/1(+10%)	(20) Good Bye Sam 4.5/1, Useful in hunters since coming from France but not seen since runner-up in cross country at Punchestown 15 months ago. Useful hunter chaser, makes handicap debut for champion combination, strong chance.

LTO Selection:

DESERTMORE HOUSE did fairly well over hurdles with back-to-back wins at Downpatrick last year and a narrow defeat in a Kilbeggan handicap in May, but this scopey sort always looked a chaser in the making. He impressed when returning to Kilbeggan for last month's chasing debut and may be able to slot in effectively to handicap company, despite his inexperience. Pakens Rock has returned to form with two victories at Kilbeggan. He's not fully proven over the trip but has a good record at this venue, which is his local track. Henry de Bromhead has a fine record in this race and Toss Again, a winner on chase debut at Limerick, may be the best of his two runners. British raider Your Darling has a good record fresh and goes well right-handed, while Brideswell Lad probably needed the run over hurdles last time having been progressive over fences in the spring.

QUANTUM REALM shaped encouragingly over hurdles when fourth at Tipperary on reappearance and could be the answer back over fences off what looks a good mark. The progressive and unexposed Desertmore House is feared most ahead of hat-trick seeking Pakens Rock.

It may be worth siding with BRIDESWELL LAD who ended last season on an upward curve and should be spot-on after a hurdles run

6th	8 6th (8) (20/1 +0%) Imaginarium	20 20/1(+0%)	(8) Imaginarium 20/1, Maiden winner on second start. 7¾ lengths eighth of 9 to Espionage in listed race at Roscommon (11.7f, good to soft, 22/1) 31 days ago, not ideally placed. Makes handicap debut from a stiff-enough mark but he's open to lots of progress. Found Listed company too hot after Curragh maiden win; unexposed on handicap debut.
7th	9 7th (9) (20/1 +9%) Smooth Tom	20 20/1(+9%)	(9) Smooth Tom 20/1, Latest win at Leopardstown in May. 6/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at the Curragh (12f, good to firm) 33 days ago. Stamina for this far to prove. Afforded another go at this trip after fading at the Curragh; needs to bounce back.
8th	15 8th (15) (66/1 -136%) Vultan	66 66/1(-136%)	(15) Vultan 66/1, 6/1, creditable 6¾ lengths fourth of 10 to Lord Erskine in handicap at Tramore (16f, good to soft) 24 days ago, never nearer. Back down in trip. Tongue strap back on. Others more persuasive. Has struggled this year but showed more last time at Tramore; this likely a step too far.
9th	10 9th (10) (25/1 -56%) Spasiba	25 25/1(-56%)	(10) Spasiba 25/1, Maiden winner last spring. 11/2, sixth of 7 in minor event at Killarney (14.2f, good to soft) 80 days ago. Visor/tongue strap on first time for handicap debut and he should progress. Lightly-raced maiden winner; shaped as if he would come on plenty for return at Killarney.
10th	7 10th (7) (6/1 +33%) Zoffman	6 6/1(+33%)	(7) Zoffman 6/1, Excellent second of 11 in handicap at the Curragh (12f, good to firm, 14/1) 33 days ago, despite not being ideally placed. That was an excellent effort and he has plenty of form with cut in the ground. Twice a winner last season; encouraging return when runner-up at the Curragh; respected.
11th	16 11th (16) (16/1 +36%) Pont Audemer	16 16/1(+36%)	(16) Pont Audemer 16/1, Fairly useful winner at 16f over hurdles. 11/2, fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (16.9f, good) 26 days ago. Up in trip. Engaged 3.20 here Thursday. Mainly campaigned over hurdles to date; good third on last Flat start; big ask here.
12th	12 12th (12) (66/1 -100%) Blazing Skies	66 66/1(-100%)	(12) Blazing Skies 66/1, 28/1, 12¼ lengths ninth of 11 to Layfayette in listed race at Limerick (12.5f, good) 42 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Cheekpieces on first time. Well held in Listed company when last seen; doesn't look obviously well-handicapped.
13th	13 13th (13) (22/1 +12%) Laelaps	22 22/1(+12%)	(13) Laelaps 22/1, Unreliable type. Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Tenth of 11 in handicap (14/1) at the Curragh (12f, good to firm) 33 days ago. Needs to shrug off last run but shaped well time before; fourth last year off 7lb higher.
14th	17 14th (17) (14/1 +13%) Aurora Princess	14 14/1(+13%)	(17) Aurora Princess 14/1, Cheekpieces on for first time over obstacles when second of 18 in handicap hurdle (11/4) at this course (16.5f, good to soft) on Wednesday. Turned out quickly back on the level. Five-time winner on the Flat but doesn't look particularly well in based on Tramore effort.
15th	11 15th (11) (18/1 -13%) La Hacienda	18 18/1(-13%)	(11) La Hacienda 18/1, Successful at this meeting last year and won 14-runner handicap at Newcastle (16.2f, 11/1) 34 days ago, all out. Back down in trip. Course winner who landed competitive Newcastle handicap last month; definite chance.
16th	4 16th (4) (25/1 +0%) Dame Rapide	25 25/1(+0%)	(4) Dame Rapide 25/1, Latest win at the Curragh in May and matched that form when good fourth of 11 in handicap at that venue (12f, good to firm) 33 days ago. Second in this last year off 5lb lower; in good form on last two Flat outings; player.
17th	5 17th (5) (9/1 -227%) Weston	9 9/1(-227%)	(5) Weston 9/1, Pretty useful in France and already better form for current yard, fifth of 19 in handicap at Royal Ascot (20f, good) 45 days ago, faring best of those held up. Significantly back down in trip and he looks the pick of the weights with promise of more to come. Useful form in Germany; excellent effort when fifth at Ascot; markedly down in trip.

LTO Selection:

Several of these won over two miles last time, but this trip is probably ideal for ZOFFMAN and he gets the vote. He landed a nice pot on easy ground at Leopardstown in the autumn when getting the better of good yardstick Safecracker and lost little in defeat when that rival exacted revenge on much more favourable weight terms at the Curragh on Derby weekend. Teed Up has an excellent course record and his win in the Monday night feature over 2m1f was his fourth at Ballybrit. He got 9lb for that so is 2lb well-in under his penalty. Chally Chute has won four of his last five starts, including a C&D success on heavy ground in the autumn. He's up 8lb for his win over 2m1f at Killarney. La Hacienda was another to win over two miles on her latest start when landing a valuable prize on the all-weather at Newcastle. A Festival winner over 1m6f here last year, she may just be vulnerable over this trip.

A cracking handicap with WESTON just about the pick of the bunch on the back of a very eye-catching run at Royal Ascot on just his second start for Gordon Elliott. Jackfinbar hasn't been with Willie Mullins long, either, and he's a big threat, along with Teed Up, a winner over hurdles at the meeting on Monday.

Fourth in this contest last year off 7lb higher, LAELAPS could offer some value after finding the ground too quick last time.

4	8 4th (8) (3/1 +50%) Eziva	3 3/1(+50%)	(8) Eziva 3/1, Twice-raced filly. Third of 12 in maiden at Leopardstown (12.8f, good, 5/1) 43 days ago. Stable having good spell. Should go well again. Solid form in 2 runs so far at Curragh and Leopardstown; warrants respect for this yard.
5th	2 5th (2) (4.5/1 -125%) Ivana	4.5 4.5/1(-125%)	(2) Ivana 4.5/1, Made a winning bumper debut in good style at Limerick in May. Big player on Flat bow. Made easy work of bumper debut in May; may have enough speed for Flat; more needed.
6th	3 6th (3) (8/1 -45%) Vadsa Queen	8 8/1(-45%)	(3) Vadsa Queen 8/1, Showed improved form to get off the mark at the third attempt in bumpers at Tramore in June. Has to be taken seriously on Flat debut. Won at the third attempt in bumpers with dominant performance and has a Flat pedigree.
7th	5 7th (5) (33/1 -10%) Cosmic Lady	33 33/1(-10%)	(5) Cosmic Lady 33/1, Once-raced filly. Tongue strap on, sixth of 12 in maiden at Killarney (11.2f, good to soft, 22/1) on debut 18 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Green when 6th beaten 10l on debut; should progress, particularly if the ground dries.
8th	10 8th (10) (28/1 -12%) Susiesparkle	28 28/1(-12%)	(10) Susiesparkle 28/1, Twice-raced filly. Fifth of 15 in maiden at Gowran (9.4f, good to soft, 20/1). Off 93 days. Up in trip. Promise in 2 maidens earlier in the campaign; needs improvement for the longer trip.
9th	4 9th (4) (200/1 -100%) Zahina	200 200/1(-100%)	(4) Zahina 200/1, Modest mare who is firmly up against it on these terms. Shown very little on the Flat and over hurdles so far.
10th	1 10th (1) (66/1 -32%) Cold Cold Heart	66 66/1(-32%)	(1) Cold Cold Heart 66/1, Mourayan filly. Dam of little account, half-sister to useful winner up to 1¼m Brief Encounter. Mourayan filly; dam unplaced 1m/1m2f (RPR 41); unlikely to have a say on belated debut.

LTO Selection:

Willie Mullins runs two bumper winners and perhaps VADSA QUEEN will prove the pick. The selection made a promising debut when beating all bar better fancied stablemate Lisnagar Fortune at last year's Punchestown Festival and won easily when reappearing at Tramore this summer. Ivana also looked a useful prospect when making a successful debut at Limerick. Yamalia Star and Hey Whatever are closely matched on running behind Beechwood at Killarney last month, while Eziva and Delicate Girl have also shown plenty of promise in two maiden starts. Countess Of Tyrone is a full-sister to Earl Of Tyrone, who was a highly-progressive sort for the same connections last year - winning at Listed level and only beaten around a length in the Ebor at York.

Willie Mullins looks to hold a strong hand courtesy of bumper winners IVANA and Vadsa Queen. The former was impressive in justifying favouritism at Limerick in May and is taken to maintain her unbeaten record now switched to the Flat. Yamalia Star improved on her debut form when runner-up at Killarney 18 days ago and has the pedigree to do better still.

Preference is for DELICATE GIRL who's had the form of her narrow defeat from last time significantly boosted and she can progress

Cheekpieces on for first time, excellent third of 14 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft, 5/1) 17 days ago, faring best of those held up. Likely has a bigger performance in him. Modest maiden form but big step forward when just 5s on h'cap bow latest; only up 1lb.

Makes handicap debut with promise of more to come but mark certainly demands it. Improving with each run; opening mark demands more but longer trip may suit.

Significantly up in trip. Cheekpieces on first time. Won on h'cap bow at 2; some credible races in defeat this term; unsuited by 5.5f latest.

Tongue strap on first time and type to do better in handicaps, but assessor taken no chances with her mark. Promising debut in Naas maiden; not in same form since; drawn wider than ideal.

LTO Selection:

NAVY BEACH has caught the eye when finishing well on his latest two starts and has probably had this week in mind for some time. The Galileo gelding came home well over a mile at Limerick and Colin Keane is now booked after again putting in his best work at the finish over 1m2f at Down Royal. The Dermot Weld-trained Partisan Hero went into the Galway notebook when finishing strongly on his handicap debut over a mile at Killarney last month and looks an obvious threat. Rio Largo has progressed well this year, winning twice over seven furlongs, including here on Monday evening, but now carries a big burden including a 7lb penalty for that recent success. Fratas ran well over 1m4f here on Monday and should be suited by the drop back in trip.

NAVY BEACH creeps in at the foot of the weights for very shrewd connections and given we surely haven't seen the best of him yet, he's a fascinating contender. Lasting Peace seems sure to give it another good go, with Rio Largo, a winner at the meeting on Monday, clearly in excellent heart.

HARRIET EAGLE may be worth chancing. She's been getting better with every start in maiden company and should relish a longer trip

2	6 2nd (6) (3.33/1 -77%) Mt Leinster	3.33 3.33/1(-77%)	(6) Mt Leinster 3.33/1, Useful gelding. Course winner. Seventh of 11 in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (17f, heavy, 4/1). Off 6 months. Below form when last seen on the Flat but definite claims on his best form in this sphere. 3-6 on Flat; not seen on the level since career best 2nd to Barbados in 2021; needs more.
3	7 3rd (7) (2.25/1 +36%) Stratum	2.25 2.25/1(+36%)	(7) Stratum 2.25/1, Smart gelding. 6 lengths seventh of 9 to Dawn Rising in minor event (9/2) at Royal Ascot (21.6f, good to firm) 41 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Worth a chance to bounce back in first-time cheekpieces. Group 2-level in pomp; big swing in weights with Dawn Rising for recent Royal Ascot defeat.
4	5 4th (5) (5/1 +50%) M C Muldoon	5 5/1(+50%)	(5) M C Muldoon 5/1, Below form seventeenth of 32 in handicap at Newmarket (18f, good to soft, 9/2). Off 22 months. Hard to know how much ability he retains, but it's significant that his top yard are persevering, so not ruled out. Tailed off in Cesarewitch when last seen in 2021; stablemates are rated higher.
5th	8 5th (8) (12/1 +76%) Effernock Fizz	12 12/1(+76%)	(8) Effernock Fizz 12/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. 18/5, pulled up in handicap chase at Killarney (17f, good) 14 days ago. Fairly useful on the Flat, good on last Flat run. Plenty to find. Beaten 4l off a mark of 74 when last seen on the Flat; mountain to climb.
6th	2 6th (2) (50/1 -25%) Kottayam	50 50/1(-25%)	(2) Kottayam 50/1, Once-raced winner on Flat. Fairly useful winner at 16f in bumpers. 4/1, fourth of 9 in novice hurdle at Thurles (23.3f, good to soft). Off 9 months. First run for yard after leaving W. P. Mullins. Others preferred. Bumper winner and won on Flat bow but plenty to find on yard debut at this level.

LTO Selection:

STRATUM gets a tentative vote with the weights in his favour. The Willie Mullins-trained gelding won the Queen Alexandra at Royal Ascot last year but faded inside the final furlong in this year's renewal of that stamina test behind Dawn Rising. The selection now meets that rival on 10lb better terms as he bids to overturn a six-length deficit and is fitted with cheekpieces for the first time. Dawn Rising was a Grade 3 winner over hurdles last season and warmed up for that Ascot win when placed in the Group 3 Saval Beg Levmoss Stakes at Leopardstown. Shanroe has been a great servant to connections but unfortunately unseated his rider early on at Limerick last time, while Mt Leinster hasn't run on the Flat in nearly two years and has been campaigned over fences since.

STRATUM was behind Dawn Rising in the Queen Alexandra at Royal Ascot last time but he's on better terms with that rival now and cheekpieces could spark him back into life, so he gets the marginal vote. Mt Leinster, a stablemate of the selection, is a big danger.

Last year's winner SHANROE has more on his plate this year but has shown he's capable of smart form in the last 2 editions of the Ebor

11th	10 11th (10) (18/1 +28%) Mighty Mo Missouri	18 18/1(+28%)	(10) Mighty Mo Missouri 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. 7/2 and tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, creditable fourth of 8 in maiden at Ballinrobe (12.6f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Opening mark demands improvement. 0-13 but fair effort in maiden latest; can come on for that and relish a new trip.
12th	9 12th (9) (4.5/1 +18%) Theonewedreamof	4.5 4.5/1(+18%)	(9) Theonewedreamof 4.5/1, 11/5 and cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, creditable third of 15 in handicap hurdle at Cork (20f, good to soft) 21 days ago, suited by increase in trip. Has to be taken seriously. Won over similar trip on heavy in April but 11lb rise looks tough.
13th	11 13th (11) (33/1 +0%) Rain	33 33/1(+0%)	(11) Rain 33/1, 18/1, fourth of 6 in handicap at Ballinrobe (12.6f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Chance on old form but not really firing so far this season. Best run for this yard when 4th last week but needs a step up to defy this mark.
14th	2 14th (2) (50/1 -100%) Duty Bound	50 50/1(-100%)	(2) Duty Bound 50/1, First run since leaving Andrew Balding when seventh of 10 in handicap (11/1) at Tramore (16f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Should strip fitter for latest outing, so not completely ruled out. Winner on h'cap debut last term; good runs in defeat since; low-key yard bow latest though.
15th	4 15th (4) (50/1 -25%) Bring Us Paradise	50 50/1(-25%)	(4) Bring Us Paradise 50/1, 8/1, ninth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (12f). Off 115 days. Others more persuasive. Below form on AW when last seen; still needs to prove he's as effective at 1m6f.
16th	12 16th (12) (25/1 +0%) True Destiny	25 25/1(+0%)	(12) True Destiny 25/1, 4/1, very good second of 15 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (24.4f, good) 46 days ago, clear of rest. Returns to this sphere on a feasible mark and the booking of Seamie Heffernan looks significant. In good form over timber of late; trip possibly on sharp side on Flat return.

LTO Selection:

BELGOPRINCE returned after a lengthy layoff this spring and struck form last month winning at Tipperary. The Tony Martin-trained gelding stayed 1m6f well when beating all bar the progressive Londonofficecallin at Killarney last time and should be suited by this step to two miles. Theonewedreamof has won under both codes on testing ground this year, including over 1m6f at Bellewstown, and has been placed on both outings since over hurdles. No Hassle is on a hat-trick but has been raised a combined 19lb for wins at Tipperary and Ballinrobe, while the consistent Sign From Above was third here on Thursday. Luminous Light and Rain are others to consider, but No Thanks needs to bounce back after disappointing here on Wednesday.

An open-looking contest in which the vote goes to THEONEWEDREAMOF, who justified support to score at Bellewstown in April and has run with credit over hurdles since. The hat-trick seeking No Hassle is an obvious danger and Belgoprince should give another good account.

It was an encouraging yard debut for DOCTOR PARNASSUS in a Down Royal maiden last week and he should progress back up in trip
