1	12 1st (12) (0.83/1 +31%) Tahiyra		0.83 0.83/1(+31%)																															(12) Tahiyra 0.83/1, Clear of the remainder when second to Mawj in the 1000 Guineas on her return, her only defeat, and kept on readily when landing the Irish equivalent at the Curragh from Meditate. Added another Group 1 in Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot and she's the one they all have to beat. The leading three-year-old filly at this trip and sets the standard against older fillies.
2	5 2nd (5) (12/1 -9%) Rogue Millennium		12 12/1(-9%)																															(5) Rogue Millennium 12/1, Won Duke of Cambridge Stakes at Royal Ascot in June. 9/1, shaped as if still in good form when 5¾ lengths fifth of 9 to Mqse De Sevigne in Prix Rothschild at Deauville (8f, good to soft) 41 days ago, not ideally placed. A place is probably the best she can hope for. Not at her best in a fillies Group 1 at Deauville in July but respected on previous form.
3	3 3rd (3) (6/1 +29%) Just Beautiful		6 6/1(+29%)																															(3) Just Beautiful 6/1, 4/1, bounced back to best returned to less testing conditions/a longer trip when winning 8-runner Lanwades Stud Stakes at the Curragh (8f, good) by 2¼ lengths from Jumbly, seeming suited by being reverted to making the running. Sound each-way claims returning from 3 months off. Won a Curragh Group 2 in May; off since then and an intriguing runner if at her best.
4	9 4th (9) (7/1 +36%) Meditate		7 7/1(+36%)																															(9) Meditate 7/1, Last season's Albany winner who signed off her 2-y-o campaign with victory in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf. Has chased home Tahiyra in vain so far this season and needs to leave behind a rare poor effort in France last time now fitted with first-time blinkers. Comes here on the back of a poor run in the Prix Jean Prat in July and blinkers tried.
5th	2 5th (2) (10/1 +70%) Jumbly		10 10/1(+70%)																															(2) Jumbly 10/1, Smart filly who has started out well for her current yard, running up to best to make the frame again at Grade 2 level when ½-length third of 8 to Evvie Jets in Ballston Spa Stakes at Saratoga (8.5f, firm) 16 days ago. Another step forward is required to feature. Winless this season; probably better than her rating and has an each-way shout here.
6th	13 6th (13) (12/1 -33%) Zarinsk		12 12/1(-33%)																															(13) Zarinsk 12/1, Produced a smart performance to make it 3 pattern-race wins from her last 4 starts in 10-runner Minstrel Stakes at this course (7.2f, good to soft) 44 days ago by ¾ length from Honey Girl, driven out. A thoroughly likeable type, there's every chance she will be in the mix. Well worth her place in a Group 1, especially here; a shower or two of rain would help.
7th	4 7th (4) (18/1 -13%) Prosperous Voyage		18 18/1(-13%)																															(4) Prosperous Voyage 18/1, Stepped up on reappearance when scoring at Epsom in June but didn't give her running attempting to defend her crown in a deeper renewal of Falmouth Stakes when 11½ lengths seventh of 8 to Nashwa at Newmarket (8f, good, 11/1) 57 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Third career success in a Group 3 at Epsom in June but held in better company twice since.
8th	10 8th (10) (66/1 +0%) Ocean Jewel		66 66/1(+0%)																															(10) Ocean Jewel 66/1, Group 3 winner on penultimate start. 5/1, shaped as if still in good form when 5¾ lengths fifth of 11 to Ocean Quest in Ballyogan Stakes at Naas (5.9f, good) 13 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Plenty to find on form. trying this trip for the first time in a Group 1 would seem ambitious; others more likely.
9th	11 9th (11) (22/1 +45%) Olivia Maralda		22 22/1(+45%)																															(11) Olivia Maralda 22/1, Useful filly who got off the mark for her current yard in 7f listed event at Epsom and confirmed that improvement when excellent fifth in the Jersey (finished well from off pace). Not up to the task in Group 2 at York a fortnight ago which tempers enthusiasm somewhat here. Didn't get home in the 1,000 Guineas on her only previous try at this trip; bit to find.
10th	7 10th (7) (50/1 +0%) Clever And Cool		50 50/1(+0%)																															(7) Clever And Cool 50/1, Made the breakthrough at Group level despite continuing to make life hard for herself at the start when winning 10-runner Fairy Bridge Stakes (6/1) at Tipperary (7.5f, good to soft) 6 days ago by ½ length from Matilda Picotte. This obviously much tougher. Listed and Group 3 winner; deserves a go at a race like this but looks to be up against it.
11th	8 11th (8) (80/1 +20%) Gozen		80 80/1(+20%)																															(8) Gozen 80/1, Debut winner 12 months ago who took a step forward when runner-up in Staffordstown Stud Stakes at the Curragh (8f, soft) a month later. Too free upped in trip after 10 months off when down the field in listed race at same track recently and no surprise to see a hood go on. Hood tried here back down to 1m but hard to make a case for in this company.
12th	6 12th (6) (80/1 -60%) Cadeau Belle		80 80/1(-60%)																															(6) Cadeau Belle 80/1, Cosy winner of 12-runner maiden at Gowran (7f, soft) on debut in May and followed up in impressive fashion in 1m Navan listed event (good to soft) a month later. Failed by a long chalk to meet expectations (possibly amiss) in a Group 3 last time and a first-time hood goes on. Well beaten at Ascot last time; hooded here but has a lot to find even on her best form.

LTO Selection:

It's hard to oppose TAHIYRA, who returns from a mid-season break. The Siyouni filly has already bagged two top-level races this season, in the Irish 1,000 Guineas and the Coronation Stakes, and looks the leading filly of her generation at a mile. She wasn't quite cherry ripe when beaten in the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket first time up this year so coming here off a break would be a slight concern, but she should prove the class act. Stablemate Homeless Songs, a brilliant winner of the Irish 1,000 Guineas last season, disappointed on a couple of occasions after her Classic triumph. She shaped with promise when losing out narrowly in a Listed race on her return this season, but that came back in April and she has a few questions to answer now. Zarinsk is having a terrific season and could be the danger to the selection. The Kodiac filly recorded her third victory of the year when landing the Group 2 Minstrel Stakes here in late July. She is a tough and consistent performer and deserves her crack at the top level now.

It's tough to get away from TAHIYRA, who added a third Group 1 to her tally in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot in June and with even better to come from Dermot Weld's star, she's strongly fancied to come out on top. Her main danger may emerge from stablemate Homeless Songs, who could only manage fourth when sent off favourite in this last year but got back on track when runner-up over C&D on return in April. Smart sorts Zarinsk and Just Beautiful can do battle for third spot.

The admirable TAHIYRA has proven herself the leading filly of her age group over this trip with her successes at the Curragh and Ascot

1	7 1st (7) (2.75/1 +17%) Auguste Rodin		2.75 2.75/1(+17%)																															(7) Auguste Rodin 2.75/1, Ran no sort of race when favourite for 2000 Guineas on return and again in the King George at Ascot last time but won the Derby at Epsom (by ½ length from King of Steel) and Irish Derby in between and strong claims if back in that sort of form. Derby and Irish Derby hero, has suffered two major reverses, has capability to rebound.
2	2 2nd (2) (4/1 +53%) Luxembourg		4 4/1(+53%)																															(2) Luxembourg 4/1, All the better for comeback when recording a third success at the top level (one in each season to date) in Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh, seen to good effect from front. Not at that level both starts since, though excuses in King George last time. Beat Onesto by ½ length in this last year. Beat Onesto in this last year, back at 1m2f after King George fourth, yard's second-string.
3	5 3rd (5) (4.5/1 +10%) Nashwa		4.5 4.5/1(+10%)																															(5) Nashwa 4.5/1, Excellent record in the top fillies/mares' races, landing a third Group 1 in the Falmouth at Newmarket impressively. Excuses when going for a second Nassau next time before excellent second taking on males for first time in Juddmonte at York. Needs considering. Three-time Group 1 winner against her own sex, can give a good account against the colts.
4	8 4th (8) (3.33/1 +0%) King Of Steel		3.33 3.33/1(+0%)																															(8) King Of Steel 3.33/1, Massive improvement on return for a new yard when finding only Auguste Rodin too good in the Derby, going clear briefly but collared late. Easy winner of Group 2 at Royal Ascot since before creditable third in King George at Ascot. This trip looks ideal and bold bid expected. Second to Auguste Rodin at Epsom, creditable effort behind older horses in the King George.
5th	1 5th (1) (7/1 -40%) Alflaila		7 7/1(-40%)																															(1) Alflaila 7/1, Hold-up performer who ended 2022 firmly on the up, supplementing his Group 3 Strensall Stakes win at York with a high-class effort in the Darley Stakes at Newmarket (9f). Defied an absence when reeling in My Prospero in Group 2 at York 6 weeks ago and well worth a shot at this level. Maintained last year's progress with smart York display on belated return, Group 1 debut.
6th	4 6th (4) (40/1 +60%) Point Lonsdale		40 40/1(+60%)																															(4) Point Lonsdale 40/1, Low-mileage 4-y-o who resumed better than ever this spring with successes in 10f Alleged Stakes at the Curragh and Huxley Stakes at Chester. However, limitations exposed back at this level since (used as a pacemaker in King George last time). Smart 2021 juvenile, ran only once last year, two Pattern wins this term, huge task here.
7th	3 7th (3) (8/1 -23%) Onesto		8 8/1(-23%)																															(3) Onesto 8/1, High-class form at 3 yrs, winning Grand Prix de Paris at Longchamp prior to chasing home Luxembourg in this 12 months ago. Shaped well over an inadequate trip when fourth in the Prix Jacques le Marois at Deauville on belated reappearance and another big run looks on the cards. Second to Luxembourg last year, should be sharper now after belated seasonal debut over 1m.
8th	9 8th (9) (33/1 +18%) Sprewell		33 33/1(+18%)																															(9) Sprewell 33/1, Won Derby Trial over C&D before good 7 lengths fourth to Auguste Rodin in Derby at Epsom, hampered at crucial stage. Again not seen to best effect in Irish Derby at the Curragh but suspicion is he's not up to this level. Held by Auguste Rodin and King Of Steel on Epsom running, lack-lustre Irish Derby run.

LTO Selection:

---

AUGUSTE RODIN looks likely to head to stud at the end of this season and getting a 10-furlong Group 1 on his CV would be massive for him as a stallion prospect. Aidan O'Brien has already worked wonders to get his charge to the Derby in prime form after a disappointing effort in the 2000 Guineas and bids to repeat the trick here after a shocking performance in the King George at Ascot in late July. Recent reports have been good and market support during the week is another positive. King Of Steel was run down by Auguste Rodin late on at Epsom, having got first run on his rival and kicking clear over a furlong from home. He fared best of the Classic generation when a solid third in the King George and could still be improving. Alflaila was supplemented for the race and has been rising through the ranks. He beat a solid field in Group 2 company at York, but is still unproven at this level. Nashwa also has to be on the shortlist in a deep renewal which includes last year's one-two Luxembourg and Onesto.

A highly competitive renewal but the one who looks to have been underestimated in the market is NASHWA, who split a pair of high-class performers in the Juddmonte International at York last month. The drop back to 10f should be ideal for King of Steel given how he shaped in the Derby/King George so he has obvious claims, while dual-Derby winner Auguste Rodin has proved he can bounce back from a poor run.

Aidan O'Brien performed a wondrous feat in preparing AUGUSTE RODIN for the Derby and may now deliver an encore after a King George flop

1	8 1st (8) (7.5/1 +53%) Flight Plan		7.5 7.5/1(+53%)																															(8) Flight Plan 7.5/1, Smart colt. Creditable 2½ lengths third of 6 to Spirit Dancer in Strensall Stakes (18/1) at York (8.8f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Not dismissed for all that others have achieved a bit more. Back to 1m here will suit but needs to find a bit more to be a factor.
2	1 2nd (1) (2/1 +33%) Buckaroo		2 2/1(+33%)																															(1) Buckaroo 2/1, Smart colt. C&D winner. 3/1, creditable 2 lengths third of 16 to Royal Champion in listed Wolferton Stakes at Royal Ascot (10f, good) 81 days ago. Should take all the beating. Back to 1m here and sets a pretty decent standard, even if easier ground would help.
3	11 3rd (11) (4/1 -45%) Victoria Road		4 4/1(-45%)																															(11) Victoria Road 4/1, Smart colt. 6½ lengths seventh of 8 to Ace Impact in Prix Guillaume d'Ornano at Deauville (9.9f, good, 71/10) 25 days ago. Likely to strip fitter for that and juvenile form gives him a big chance. Likely to come on a good deal for Deauville and has the confidence of Ryan Moore; player.
4	9 4th (9) (6.5/1 +28%) Lord Massusus		6.5 6.5/1(+28%)																															(9) Lord Massusus 6.5/1, Smart gelding. 3 wins from 5 runs this year. Career best when winning 8-runner Desmond Stakes at this C&D (good, 11/2) 23 days ago by 1½ lengths from Alfred Munnings. Merits plenty of respect. Decisive winner of the Desmond Stakes here last time; big player and may be overpriced.
5th	12 5th (12) (9/1 +55%) Tarawa		9 9/1(+55%)																															(12) Tarawa 9/1, Useful filly. Course winner. 8/13 and visored for 1st time, below form 7½ lengths second of 7 to Clever And Cool in listed race at Cork (7f, heavy) 22 days ago, clear of rest. Usually consistent, so should bounce back. Well-beaten second in the visor (retained) at Cork last month; others preferred.
6th	7 6th (7) (8/1 +0%) Bold Discovery		8 8/1(+0%)																															(7) Bold Discovery 8/1, Useful colt. Latest win at the Curragh in July. 3¾ lengths fifth of 7 to Epictetus in Thoroughbred Stakes (22/1) at Goodwood (8f, soft) 36 days ago. Others make more appeal. Not the easiest horse to assess but has the ability to be a factor with good ground a plus.
7th	2 7th (2) (80/1 -60%) Howyoulikethat		80 80/1(-60%)																															(2) Howyoulikethat 80/1, Useful gelding. C&D winner. Latest win at Killarney in July. 10/1, good 1¼ lengths third of 8 to Salt Lake City in listed race at Killarney (8.1f, good) 16 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere. This is difficult but connections fully entitled to roll the dice; up against it though.
8th	5 8th (5) (28/1 -12%) Villanova Queen		28 28/1(-12%)																															(5) Villanova Queen 28/1, Useful filly. C&D winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. 9/2, 6½ lengths seventh of 8 to Lord Massusus in Desmond Stakes at this C&D (good) 23 days ago. Likely to be back on her game. Better can be expected than her latest but needs to find a bit to be competitive here.
9th	10 9th (10) (18/1 -13%) Salt Lake City		18 18/1(-13%)																															(10) Salt Lake City 18/1, Useful colt. Career best when winning 8-runner listed race (5/1) at Killarney (8.1f, good) 16 days ago by head from Didn'thavemuchtodo, responding well. Has a bit to find but may not have finished progressing. Listed winner; more exposed at this level though and likely to be a bit player here.
10th	6 10th (6) (9/1 -13%) Alfred Munnings		9 9/1(-13%)																															(6) Alfred Munnings 9/1, Lightly-raced winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, good 1½ lengths second of 8 to Lord Massusus in Desmond Stakes at this C&D (good, 11/4) 23 days ago. Has a bit to find but should give his running. Desmond Stakes runner-up could be thereabouts, even if Moore prefers Victoria Road.

LTO Selection:

---

Although having a bit to prove following a lacklustre three-year-old debut last month, VICTORIA ROAD is afforded another chance to show that he has trained on. A leading juvenile last season, the Saxon Warrior colt won his final four starts, ending the campaign with Grade 1 victory at the Breeders' Cup. While his disappointing Deauville effort is an obvious concern, it wouldn't be the first time this season his trainer has brought a horse back from a poor run. While Buckaroo has thus far fallen short of the highest level, the Joseph O'Brien-trained colt is a very dependable performer in this grade. The four-year-old ran arguably a career best when successful over C&D in April. Lord Massusus has been a revelation for connections this season and may not be finished yet. He produced a fine performance when winning here last time out.

BUCKAROO goes well at the track and has the best form on show, so he takes marginal preference over the less-exposed Victoria Road, who should come on for his recent reappearance in France. Lord Massusus should also give another good account.

The selection is LORD MASSUSUS after his decisive win in last month's Desmond Stakes here when they got the tactics right

1	5 1st (5) (1.38/1 +0%) Adelaide River		1.38 1.38/1(+0%)																															(5) Adelaide River 1.38/1, Winning debut on AW last summer and placed 6 times at Group level since, including in the Irish Derby and Grand Prix de Paris at Longchamp the last twice. just caught in the closing stages by a good prospect 57 days ago. Obvious chance. Irish Derby runner-up, another fine effort in Grand Prix de Paris, sets a high standard.
2	1 2nd (1) (2.25/1 +25%) Al Aasy		2.25 2.25/1(+25%)																															(1) Al Aasy 2.25/1, Very talented and been a revelation returned to 10f this term, typically going about things in an easy manner but no questioning his attitude as he won 7-runner Rose of Lancaster Stakes at Haydock 28 days ago by neck from El Drama. Strong claims if in the same mood back up in trip. Coronation Cup runner-up in 2021, won only start last season, back near top form this term.
3	2 3rd (2) (25/1 -39%) Layfayette		25 25/1(-39%)																															(2) Layfayette 25/1, Smart gelding. Nine wins from 32 Flat runs. Didn't need to improve to win 6-runner Royal Whip Stakes (7/2) at the Curragh (10f, good to soft) 20 days ago by ¾ length from Unless. More needed under a penalty on these terms. Gained his ninth win when landing Royal Whip last month, best suited by easier ground.
4	4 4th (4) (8/1 -33%) White Birch		8 8/1(-33%)																															(4) White Birch 8/1, Smart colt. Latest win here in April. 6/1, 18½ lengths eighth of 9 to Auguste Rodin in Irish Derby at the Curragh (12f, good to firm) 69 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Previous efforts were better (placed in the Dante and Derby). Wouldn't dismiss back in trip. Derby third, flopped in Irish Derby and now faces a rematch with runner-up Adelaide River.
5th	6 5th (6) (4/1 +27%) Valiant King		4 4/1(+27%)																															(6) Valiant King 4/1, Smart colt. Very good 1½ lengths second of 8 to Vauban in Ballyroan Stakes at Naas (11.9f, soft, 10/3) 33 days ago, clear of rest. Stable in good form. One to consider. Confirmed progression with second to Vauban at Naas, has a clear edge over Layfayette.
6th	3 6th (3) (20/1 -11%) Mashhoor		20 20/1(-11%)																															(3) Mashhoor 20/1, Smart gelding. 3 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win at the Curragh in July. 7/1, 4 lengths last of 5 to Alflaila in York Stakes at York (10.2f, good) 42 days ago. This isn't much easier. Progressive in winning three in a row before eclipse in Group 2 event at York.
7th	7 7th (7) (66/1 +0%) Young Ireland		66 66/1(+0%)																															(7) Young Ireland 66/1, Useful colt. 16/1, good 3¾ lengths second of 7 to Harbour Wind in listed race at this course (14f, good) 16 days ago, suited by emphasis on speed. Difficult ask on these terms. Has won only once from 17 starts, last of six behind Layfayette in the Royal Whip, exposed.

LTO Selection:

---

Irish Derby runner-up ADELAIDE RIVER can gain a second career win now that he drops slightly in class. The Aidan O'Brien-trained colt may have been sent off a 33-1 outsider at the Curragh, but he showed that form to be no fluke when second to a very highly regarded horse at Longchamp on his next start. White Birch finished behind Adelaide River last time but had run a much better race when clear of that same rival at Epsom previously. While the Irish Derby run was clearly not his true form, the John Joseph Murphy-trained grey does have a bit to prove now. English raider Al Aasy was a hugely promising horse before injury intervened. However, having won his latest two starts, the William Haggas-trained six-year-old is returning to something like his best form.

Three-year-olds have traditionally dominated this and ADELAIDE RIVER, second in the Irish Derby and Grand Prix de Paris at Longchamp the last twice, can get an overdue change of luck and come out on top for Aidan O'Brien. The quirky Al Aasy has been in good order over ten furlongs and has every chance if continuing in the same form back up in trip. White Birch, placed in the Dante and the Derby, is also a player.

Despite having failed to add to his score since a debut win at Dundalk ADELAIDE RIVER has the credentials to win at this level

1	12 1st (12) (14/1 -27%) Satin		14 14/1(-27%)																															(12) Satin 14/1, Two wins from 5 runs this year, latest victory at Killarney in July. Ran creditably after a rise in the weights when fifth of 10 in handicap at Ascot (12f, good, 9/1) 28 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. 6lb higher here than Killarney and a career best needed in first-time cheekpieces.
2	11 2nd (11) (4/1 +27%) Comfort Zone		4 4/1(+27%)																															(11) Comfort Zone 4/1, Developed into useful hurdler in 2022/23, winning 7-runner Triumph Hurdle Trial (Finesse) at Cheltenham (16.8f, good to soft, 2/1) by ¾ length from Scriptwriter in January. On a tempting mark back on the Flat and ran well fresh last year. Major player. Not seen since January and difficult to know what to expect; market check is advisable.
3	10 3rd (10) (25/1 +0%) Burren Song		25 25/1(+0%)																															(10) Burren Song 25/1, Three wins from 9 runs this year, completing hat-trick with success here (12f) in May. 16/1, soon back to form when sixth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f) 25 days ago. Can give another good account back up in distance. Didn't run badly at Dundalk last month but the handicapper might just have the upper hand.
4	16 4th (16) (18/1 +28%) No Niki No		18 18/1(+28%)																															(16) No Niki No 18/1, Winner here (9f) in June. 9/1, shaped as if still in good form when sixth of 9 in handicap at the Curragh (12f, good to soft) 3 weeks ago. Faces a tough task in this contest, though. Consistent but her most recent effort over this trip unconvincing; others preferred.
5th	4 5th (4) (10/1 +0%) Dartan		10 10/1(+0%)																															(4) Dartan 10/1, In first-time blinkers, completed quick-fire double (won on Flat the previous evening) when landing 15-runner handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (20.4f, good, 5/1) 10 days ago. Carries penalty but can go well again in his current form. Won on consecutive days at Bellewstown last week; could not be coming here in better form.
6th	8 6th (8) (6.5/1 -63%) Nusret		6.5 6.5/1(-63%)																															(8) Nusret 6.5/1, Useful hurdler and transferred that improvement back to the level when winning 10-runner handicap at the Curragh (14f, good, 3/1) in June. On a workable mark based on his hurdles form, so he's not one to take lightly. Curragh winner; back to 1m4f will be fine and he is unlikely to be far away here.
7th	6 7th (6) (14/1 +0%) Golden Twilight		14 14/1(+0%)																															(6) Golden Twilight 14/1, Five wins from 19 Flat runs. Without a win this season but again ran well when fourth of 14 in handicap (5/1) at Dundalk (10.7f) 25 days ago. Can give his running once more as he goes back up in trip. Tongue-tie and cheekpieces persevered with and every chance of getting into the frame.
8th	2 8th (2) (14/1 +0%) Ceallach		14 14/1(+0%)																															(2) Ceallach 14/1, Improved performer at Dundalk in second half of 2022 and, after a further 12 weeks off, better than ever when second of 14 in handicap (11/2) at the same course (10.7f) 25 days ago. Still looking for his first win on turf as he goes up in trip. Back to 1m4f will suit and has to be a contender if able to transfer his AW form to turf.
9th	15 9th (15) (50/1 +24%) Bold Approach		50 50/1(+24%)																															(15) Bold Approach 50/1, Course winner. Seventeen runs since last win in this sphere back in 2019. Run best excused when last of 18 in handicap at the Curragh (14f, good, 100/1) in May, struck into. Back with Jim Bolger. Poor effort in a Curragh handicap in May when last seen and makes little appeal.
10th	5 10th (5) (10/1 -33%) Etna Rosso		10 10/1(-33%)																															(5) Etna Rosso 10/1, Successful at Limerick on debut and has improved since, having run of race when 4½ lengths fourth of 7 to Harbour Wind in listed race (14/1) at this course (14f, good) 16 days ago. Further step forward required as he makes handicap debut. Interesting in his first handicap; the likely strong gallop should suit; could be a factor.
11th	14 11th (14) (25/1 +24%) Nibiru		25 25/1(+24%)																															(14) Nibiru 25/1, After a poor effort over hurdles at Galway in August, wasn't disgraced back on the level when sixth of 9 in handicap at Naas (10.5f, good to soft, 12/1) 13 days ago. Others preferred as he goes back up in trip. Better effort in a Naas handicap last time but plenty more needed here; 2lb wrong.
12th	3 12th (3) (25/1 -25%) Enfranchise		25 25/1(-25%)																															(3) Enfranchise 25/1, Six wins from 20 Flat runs, with latest success at Down Royal in June. After a win over hurdles, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap (10/1) at Naas (10.5f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Needs to find more upped in distance. Won over this trip for the Johnstons and one of a number in the race with each-way claims.
13th	13 13th (13) (3.5/1 +65%) Merlin Giant		3.5 3.5/1(+65%)																															(13) Merlin Giant 3.5/1, Progressed into a useful hurdler last year and won maiden on Flat at Down Royal (12.8f, 8/11) in June. Shaped better than result in Galway Hurdle on his latest outing, making a couple of late errors, and he's an interesting contender making his handicap debut on the level. Well below his best in the Galway Hurdle but potentially well-handicapped back to the Flat.
14th	1 14th (1) (5.5/1 +31%) Jackfinbar		5.5 5.5/1(+31%)																															(1) Jackfinbar 5.5/1, On second start for current trainer, ran up to best when fourth in handicap at Galway in August. However, below form when twelfth of 22 in Ebor at York (13.8f, good to firm, 8/1) 2 weeks ago. No surprise to see him get back on track with Dettori on board. Raced a bit keenly in the Ebor last time; giving away plenty of weight here but respected.

The Joseph O'Brien-trained COMFORT ZONE catches the eye on his return to the Flat. A three-time winner over hurdles last winter, the JP McManus-owned gelding looks favourably treated off a mark of 86 in this discipline. On his most recent run on the level, the son of Churchill made significant late ground when third in the October Handicap at this course. Satin had looked a real improver for Jessica Harrington prior to slightly disappointing at Ascot last time. Perhaps the application of first-time cheekpieces will bring about a revival. Nusret boasts a similar profile to his stablemate Comfort Zone. A Grade 2 winner at Kempton in February, he made a winning reappearance at the Curragh in a race that has worked out well subsequently.

COMFORT ZONE developed into a useful hurdler last season, winning the Triumph Hurdle Trial at Cheltenham on his latest outing in January, and he's open to further improvement making only his second handicap start on the Flat. The 4-y-o is taken to see off the challenge of stablemate Nusret, while Merlin Giant and Jackfinbar are others who also merit consideration.

The one to be on be MERLIN GIANT, not seen since disappointing in the Galway Hurdle but could be well handicapped

1	12 1st (12) (5/1 -50%) Broadhurst		5 5/1(-50%)																															(12) Broadhurst 5/1, Promising individual. 7/4, excellent second of 11 in handicap at Naas (8f, good to firm), just failing. 3-y-o on the up for top yard and has cheekpieces on for the first time. Lots to like. Touched off in a Naas handicap in May when last seen; cheekpieces added; unexposed.
2	4 2nd (4) (4.5/1 +36%) Dunum		4.5 4.5/1(+36%)																															(4) Dunum 4.5/1, Six wins from 19 Flat runs. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Career best when winning 16-runner handicap at Galway (7f, soft, 10/3) 34 days ago, readily. Likeable type with excellent record over 7f. 6lb rise not excessive for his Galway win and every chance of going close once more.
3	16 3rd (16) (12/1 +25%) Kayhana		12 12/1(+25%)																															(16) Kayhana 12/1, Lightly-raced winner. Very good third of 13 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, good, 14/1) 27 days ago. Not yet exposed but drop to 7f not sure to suit. Ran out of steam in a 1m handicap at the Curragh last time and maybe this trip will suit.
4	15 4th (15) (8/1 +50%) No More Porter		8 8/1(+50%)																															(15) No More Porter 8/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2021. 8/1, shaped as though back in form when eighth of 22 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, good) 14 days ago, not clear run. Not beaten far in the Irish Cambridgeshire latest and likely to give a good account again.
5th	10 5th (10) (16/1 +11%) Current Option		16 16/1(+11%)																															(10) Current Option 16/1, C&D winner. 20/1, bit below form fourteenth of 22 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, good) 14 days ago, met some trouble. Stable having good spell and he lurks on a dangerous mark. Out of form this year despite coming down the handicap and little cause for optimism.
6th	2 6th (2) (22/1 +21%) Carrytheone		22 22/1(+21%)																															(2) Carrytheone 22/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 18¾ lengths sixth of 7 to Clever And Cool in listed race at Cork (7f, heavy, 10/1) 22 days ago. Bouncing back from this mark no easy task. Not a factor in a soft ground Cork Listed last month; respected back in handicap company.
7th	8 7th (8) (12/1 -100%) Rhoscolyn		12 12/1(-100%)																															(8) Rhoscolyn 12/1, Dropped in the weights and back in excellent order, winning brace of 7f handicaps at Goodwood last month. Fifth in this a year ago from 7 lb higher. One to consider. Goodwood winner latest; respected but has a bad draw to overcome here.
8th	3 8th (3) (9/1 +44%) Mutasarref		9 9/1(+44%)																															(3) Mutasarref 9/1, C&D winner. Bit below form 4¼ lengths third of 8 to Lord Massusus in Desmond Stakes at this course (8f, good, 9/2) 23 days ago, finding less than looked likely. Yet to get going in 2023. Last two runs at Galway and in the Desmond Stakes here indicate a return to his best.
9th	1 9th (1) (8.5/1 +15%) Bopedro		8.5 8.5/1(+15%)																															(1) Bopedro 8.5/1, Didn't need to improve to win 9-runner handicap (3/1) at Newmarket (8f, good) 22 days ago. Revised mark asks a new question in what is a deeper race. Back to form when winning a 1m handicap at Newmarket last month; more probably needed.
10th	9 10th (9) (18/1 +10%) Darkness		18 18/1(+10%)																															(9) Darkness 18/1, Winner at Newmarket in July. Eighteenth of 19 in handicap (16/1) at York (7.9f, good to firm) 16 days ago, though he was hampered at the start. Well below his best in a valuable York handicap last time; chance if he bounces back.
11th	7 11th (7) (6/1 +57%) Hotrocket		6 6/1(+57%)																															(7) Hotrocket 6/1, Back-to-back handicap winner in June/July. 12¾ lengths fourteenth of 16 to Dunum in handicap (15/2) at Galway (7f, soft) 34 days ago, though that run can be excused given he stumbled 2f out. Unstuck on soft ground at Galway but should be much more at home under today's conditions.
12th	18 12th (18) (33/1 +50%) Ice Cold In Alex		33 33/1(+50%)																															(18) Ice Cold In Alex 33/1, C&D winner. Bit below form fourth of 9 in handicap (7/1) at Cork (6f, good to firm) 3 days ago, never nearer. Back up in trip, which will suit. Never really got involved in a 6f handicap at Cork on Wednesday; 6lb wrong here.
13th	5 13th (5) (80/1 -60%) Hodd's Girl		80 80/1(-60%)																															(5) Hodd's Girl 80/1, Below form 6½ lengths sixth of 10 to Clounmacon in listed race at Naas (5.9f, soft, 20/1) 45 days ago. Back up in trip. Trainer going well but she's better on the AW and this mark looks very tough. Seven-time winner now rated 99; 1-17 turf record and looks vulnerable here.
14th	14 14th (14) (20/1 -43%) Urban Sprawl		20 20/1(-43%)																															(14) Urban Sprawl 20/1, Latest win at Goodwood in May. 7/1, 4 lengths fourth of 6 to Rhoscolyn in handicap at Goodwood (7f, heavy) 14 days ago, not seen to best effect. Fine third in the Britannia at Royal Ascot; below that form since and others preferred.
15th	6 15th (6) (20/1 +9%) I Am Superman		20 20/1(+9%)																															(6) I Am Superman 20/1, C&D winner. 10/1, eighteenth of 20 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, good to soft) when last seen in May. Well handicapped on his form in Australia but he has a bit to prove at present. Not much encouragement from two runs in big Curragh handicaps this year; others preferred.
16th	17 16th (17) (22/1 +33%) Cordouan		22 22/1(+33%)																															(17) Cordouan 22/1, 12/1, bit below form twelfth of 22 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, good) 14 days ago. Placed in small-field race; not disgraced in the Cambridgeshire last time but more needed.
17th	11 17th (11) (80/1 -300%) Ransom		80 80/1(-300%)																															(11) Ransom 80/1, In top form at Dundalk in the autumn/winter winning twice prior to an excellent second of 8 in February. Task is to carry on the good work switched to turf after a break. Big ask here back on turf after a lengthy absence; others preferred.

The incredible story of DUNUM could be set for another chapter in a race that looks likely to be run to suit. Natalia Lupini has done a commendable job with the five-year-old, who she took charge of when rated just 58 last May. Following six wins, including at premier handicap level on his most recent start, the gelding is well worth his place in this field. The quicker they go the better for the son of Ivawood. Broadhurst lacks the experience of the majority of his rivals but the lightly-raced Aidan O'Brien-trained colt appeals nonetheless. When his stable run horses in handicaps such as this one, they are seldom far away. Mutasarref has dropped a few pounds in the handicap this season so could be a serious threat over what is unquestionably his optimum distance.

A deep handicap but it's still hard to escape the claims of BROADHURST, a well-bred 3-y-o on the up for leading connections, and he could well be quite a bit better than his current mark. Dunum's record over 7f is an excellent one, while Rhoscolyn is back firing again and he still retains handicap scope.

Another chance though is given to HOTROCKET, who looked very progressive early in the summer before the ground went for him at Galway

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.
