Nine-time winner DEVIL'S ANGEL is a 6f specialist and, being suited by the all-weather, should handle the surface. Rated 87 at his peak, he is operating at a lower level now but drops to a weak claimer. American In Paris' rating has also fallen but, similarly, has scored this year. She has 11lb to find with the selection on official ratings, but her rider claims 3lb and she should handle this surface. St Ouen is an interesting runner as has raced exclusively in Jersey since 2019. Although a 10-time winner there, the entire faces a different task racing on sand now.

A hopeful vote is given to DEVIL'S ANGEL (nap) who is well suited by this trip and comes from a stable that had a 33-1 winner on Sunday

Both HASIYNA'S career wins have come at the distance on an all-weather surface, so she could be nicely suited by these conditions. Aga Khan-bred and rated 69 at her peak, she scored twice at Dundalk last winter and while winless since January, has been running consistently well and reverts to an ordinary handicap. Lismacbryan has useful recent form and is suited by this distance. He has never raced at this course or on the all-weather, but likes good turf ground so might cope. Ace In The Pack was trained by the late Kevin Prendergast last year and while he hasn't run since last September, he showed glimpses of mild promise and his rating has fallen.

Trained at nearby Balbriggan, LISMACBRYAN may be sufficiently familiar with this surface to reproduce his solid recent turf form

JERED MADDOX has poor recent form but can nonetheless complete a three-in-a-row at this famous fixture. Hugely favoured by the all-weather or this course, the nature of today's meeting means he again competes using his turf rating, which is significantly lower than his all-weather mark. Clonmacash has a good all-weather record, but races off 6lb higher than when winning at the Curragh recently. Dundalk maiden winner Eyema Candy Girl could be suited by reverting to this distance.

Dual C&D winner Jered Maddox rates a big danger to recent 5f Curragh scorer CLONMACASH who will appreciate the extra furlong
Class & Speed Card

The form of POWERFUL HOOK HEAD's fourth at Dundalk in July is working out well and he looks a contender after being collared in the closing stages over further in an optional claimer at Roscommon. Ocean Manifest rates a threat after being pipped by a head in Killarney. His half-sister won twice on the all-weather track at Lingfield, so sand bodes well for him. Lohengrin has plenty to find at the weights, but finished well for a close third in this race last year and has each-way claims. Raydamann is the highest-rated horse but takes a marked drop in trip, while this is also sharp enough for Captain Hanley.

Having shown promise on the Flat last season, RAYDAMANN could be the way to go and he's been in good form over jumps latetly

Eddie Lynam's PUNK POET is sliding down the weights and, with a victory and a third-place posted on his two visits to Laytown, appeals in this handicap. Cherry Pink does herself no favours with tardy starts, but stayed on for fourth at Dundalk last month and won over 6f at this fixture last year. Nibras Rainbow has plenty of all-weather form and arrives in good heart after a runner-up berth at Bellewstown. Distillate was a place behind Nibras Rainbow in third and has her chance, while Mullacash Buzz is a front-runner competing off a lowly mark and is far from out of contention. Roman Harry is a C&D winner who could be reinvigorated by a return to the beach.

3 previous course winners face off and preference is for PUNK POET who is down to his lowest ever mark and shaped okay on AW latest

COME ON THE LADS has been picking up plenty of prize money in quality handicap hurdles and is dangerous reverting to the Flat. He kept a Dundalk specialist honest when finishing second on his last outing in this sphere. Expound was beaten a head into second here a couple of years ago. He has been placed in his last three races (once over hurdles and twice on the Flat), so a big run looks likely. Shoot To Kill is a money-spinner and ought to get involved on stable debut for Noel Kelly, while Giuseppe Cassioli has the assistance of Patrick Mullins and is also in the mix.

Having gone close on a previous course run, EXPOUND is taken to go one better after a cracking run at Galway when last seen on the Flat

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.
