1	2 1st (2) (1.75/1 +13%) Red Letter Bray		1.75 1.75/1(+13%)																															(2) Red Letter Bray 1.75/1, Twice-raced winner. Won 15-runner maiden at this C&D (heavy, 2/1) 29 days ago, just holding on on his first outing for 9 months. Can do better still on his handicap debut. Just got home in a C&D maiden on heavy (ran around after pulling a shoe); form boosted.
2	1 2nd (1) (4/1 +20%) King Of Scotia		4 4/1(+20%)																															(1) King Of Scotia 4/1, Lightly-raced winner who landed 14-runner maiden at Dundalk (7f, 4/7), cosily. Off 131 days. Much respected on his handicap bow. Won at Dundalk (7f) in December having been gelded; well held in Group 3 only run on soft.
3	3 3rd (3) (8/1 -100%) Queenie St Clair		8 8/1(-100%)																															(3) Queenie St Clair 8/1, Fair maiden. Very good third of 12 in handicap (7/1) at Cork (7f, heavy) 16 days ago. Weighted to go close off an unchanged mark. Third of 12 on handicap bow at Cork (7f, soft to heavy); drop back to 6f may not be ideal.
4	5 4th (5) (14/1 +0%) Blanc De Noir		14 14/1(+0%)																															(5) Blanc De Noir 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fifteenth of 20 in maiden (33/1) at the Curragh (7f, heavy) 30 days ago. Blinkers back on. Makes handicap debut and more needed. Well held over 7f at the Curragh; blinkers back on and drop back to 6f may help; h'cap bow.
5th	8 5th (8) (12/1 -9%) Lisieux		12 12/1(-9%)																															(8) Lisieux 12/1, C&D winner. Respectable sixth of 14 in handicap (5/1) at this course (5f, heavy) 29 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Looks competitive on form. C&D nursery winner on soft ground last October; well-backed sixth over 5f here last month.
6th	6 6th (6) (7.5/1 +38%) Son Of Sampers		7.5 7.5/1(+38%)																															(6) Son Of Sampers 7.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Good second of 7 in maiden (12/1) at this C&D (heavy), no match for winner. Off 6 months. Makes handicap debut. Likely to improve so he's in the mix. Chased home a horse now rated 87 in C&D maiden on soft ground when last seen in October.
7th	4 7th (4) (7/1 +13%) Not Just Yet		7 7/1(+13%)																															(4) Not Just Yet 7/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Good third of 11 in nursery at this C&D (heavy, 10/1). Off 169 days but needs considering. Third in Birdcatcher Nursery here (6f, heavy) on final day of Flat season in November.
8th	7 8th (7) (8.5/1 -21%) Coco Hill		8.5 8.5/1(-21%)																															(7) Coco Hill 8.5/1, First run since leaving Rod Millman when respectable sixth of 12 in handicap (6/1) at Cork (7f, heavy) 16 days ago. Can give a good account. Ran okay on first start for new yard when sixth of 12 over 7f at Cork; drop to 6f a help.

LTO Selection:

Based on the summary, 1.5/1 (2) RED LETTER BRAY and 4.5/1 (1) KING OF SCOTIA seem like strong contenders. 1.5/1 (2) RED LETTER BRAY has recently won a race and has the potential to perform even better on his handicap debut. 4.5/1 (1) KING OF SCOTIA has won before and is highly respected on his handicap debut. However, 12/1 (8) LISIEUX, 10/1 (4) NOT JUST YET, and 14/1 (6) SON OF SAMPERS could also be in the mix as they have shown good form in previous races. 22/1 (5) BLANC DE NOIR may struggle as they have yet to win and need to improve.

RED LETTER BRAY may be able to follow up on his course and distance victory last month. The New Bay colt got home in a tight finish from Run Ran Run on his return to action and the runner-up has franked the form since. Red Letter Bray toughed it out in testing conditions then and with plenty of rain recently his ability to handle conditions is a big plus. Trainer Michael O'Callaghan looks to have a strong second string in King Of Scotia. The Kessaar gelding won his final start of last season at Dundalk. That was over seven and this ground is a slight worry. Son Of Sampers was progressive in maidens last season and ran well when second on his final start on soft ground over course and distance. He could play a part on his handicap debut.

A case can be made for most of these but QUEENIE ST CLAIR looks the way to go given she can race off the same mark as when a very good recent Cork third. C&D winner Lisieux is also weighted to have a big say with handicap-debutants Son of Sampers and Red Letter Bray two more to consider.

A chance is taken on seasonal/h'cap debutant SON OF SAMPERS who ran well on soft ground here last term and looks to be on a good mark

5	5 (5) (40/1 -100%) Sophie's Star		40 40/1(-100%)																															(5) Sophie's Star 40/1, Fourteenth of 15 in handicap (50/1) at Catterick (5f, soft). Off 6 months. First run for yard after leaving Roger Fell. Something to find on form. Won at Musselburgh (5f, good) first time out last year; reappears after 191 days off.
1	4 1st (4) (11/1 -38%) Blairmayne		11 11/1(-38%)																															(4) Blairmayne 11/1, C&D winner. Seventh of 8 in minor event at Gowran (7f, good to soft, 12/1). Off 7 months. Looks competitive on form. Seven wins including 2 over C&D; had a run under his belt when landing this last year.
2	12 2nd (12) (3.33/1 -11%) Iva Batt		3.33 3.33/1(-11%)																															(12) Iva Batt 3.33/1, Course winner who posted solid fourth of 10 in handicap (10/3) at Bellewstown (5f, heavy) on yard debut 18 days ago. Entited to build on that and holds strong claims. Three-time winner including off 4lb higher mark here; caught the eye on Bellewstown return.
3	8 3rd (8) (5.5/1 -10%) Jon Riggens		5.5 5.5/1(-10%)																															(8) Jon Riggens 5.5/1, Tenth of 11 in handicap (7/2) at the Curragh (5f, heavy) 30 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. 7-2 fav, reared up as stalls opened and slowly away when never a factor at the Curragh.
4	11 4th (11) (9/1 +64%) Shoebox King		9 9/1(+64%)																															(11) Shoebox King 9/1, Ninth of 12 in handicap at Dundalk (6f, 22/1) 13 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Down Royal maiden winner last term and fair fifth in Curragh h'cap; well held lately.
5th	9 5th (9) (4/1 +43%) Aljady		4 4/1(+43%)																															(9) Aljady 4/1, Not seen to best effect at Navan 2 days ago and had posted good fourth in 13-runner handicap at the Curragh (6f, heavy) previously. Enters calculations. Has fallen in ratings; fourth of 11 in higher grade contest at the Curragh last weekend.
6th	7 6th (7) (4/1 +33%) Half Nutz		4 4/1(+33%)																															(7) Half Nutz 4/1, Three-time C&D winner. 11/1, creditable third of 12 in handicap at Dundalk (6f) 13 days ago. One for the shortlist. Likes soft ground and likes it here too, with three of his six wins coming over C&D.
7th	3 7th (3) (14/1 +0%) Verhoyen		14 14/1(+0%)																															(3) Verhoyen 14/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Twelfth of 13 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, heavy, 16/1) 8 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Work to do. Five wins, four of them at the Curragh where he bolted up over 7f last May; mark on slide.
8th	6 8th (6) (8.5/1 +6%) Plunkett		8.5 8.5/1(+6%)																															(6) Plunkett 8.5/1, 12/1, below form sixth of 13 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, heavy) 22 days ago, never nearer. Back down in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Others more persuasive. Ran okay when fifth in Navan sprint in October; trainer giving him another whirl over 6f.
9th	1 9th (1) (100/1 -203%) Only Spoofing		100 100/1(-203%)																															(1) Only Spoofing 100/1, Three wins from 14 runs last year. Eighth of 10 in handicap (80/1) at Cork (5f, heavy) 16 days ago, met some trouble. Others more persuasive. 12-time winner but has never won on a soft surface; well held first two starts this term.
10th	13 10th (13) (66/1 +0%) Marco Monaco		66 66/1(+0%)																															(13) Marco Monaco 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving Ms Sheila Lavery when eleventh of 12 in handicap at Cork (7f, heavy, 50/1) 16 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere. Placed in Navan sprint maiden for Sheila Lavery but beaten long way in both h'cap starts.
11th	10 11th (10) (33/1 -32%) Show Yourself		33 33/1(-32%)																															(10) Show Yourself 33/1, 22/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to soft). Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving James Tate. Now below last winning mark. Fine spell of success as 3yo over 5f at Beverley, four wins over that C&D; quiet last year.

Based on the summary, 2.5/1 (12) IVA BATT and 4.5/1 (7) HALF NUTZ seem to be the strongest contenders. Both have had recent solid performances and hold strong claims, with 4.5/1 (7) HALF NUTZ having previously won on soft ground and at this course. 5/1 (9) ALJADY and 11/1 (4) BLAIRMAYNE also have some competitive form and could be in the mix. The other horses seem to have some issues, such as inconsistent form or a lack of success on soft ground.

HALF NUTZ likes soft ground and might be able to register a fourth C&D success. He has run a couple of decent races on the all-weather for his new yard and can be forgiven a moderate run at this venue last month where he was too keen. A strong pace to aim at would really suit him. Blairmayne has been a stalwart for Natalia Lupini who got off the mark for the season on Saturday. He won this last year at 20/1 having had the benefit of a prep run but was second to the selection on seasonal debut here two years ago. Jon Riggens blew the start when favourite for his comeback at the Curragh but he was twice second over 5f at the back-end of last season and many will give him another chance. Anadora has won first time out for the last two seasons and is an interesting addition to Sarah Lynam's team.

IVA BATT has dropped down to a handy mark and shaped encouragingly on her yard debut at Bellewstown earlier this month. She can return to winning ways. Aljady and Half Nutz rate the principal dangers.

Maybe HALF NUTZ can add another C&D win to his tally; the soft ground will suit but he does need a strong pace to aim at

1	2 1st (2) (4.5/1 +50%) Moss Tucker		4.5 4.5/1(+50%)																															(2) Moss Tucker 4.5/1, Smart gelding. Three wins from 11 runs last year. Latest win at the Curragh in October. Might have needed run when 3½ lengths fifth of 9 to Tenebrism in listed race (11/4) at Cork (6f, heavy) 16 days ago. Place claims but hard to see him turning tables on the favourite. Last year's Abbaye fifth before 6f Curragh Listed win, held by Tenebrism on Cork running.
2	6 2nd (6) (0.4/1 +25%) Tenebrism		0.4 0.4/1(+25%)																															(6) Tenebrism 0.4/1, Smart filly who won readily in Listed company at Cork on her recent reappearance and should prove very hard to beat again. Group 1 winner at 6f/7f, should cope with drop back in trip after 6f Listed win at Cork.
3	1 3rd (1) (10/1 -11%) Coachello		10 10/1(-11%)																															(1) Coachello 10/1, Smart gelding. Latest win at Meydan in January. 6 lengths eleventh of 15 to Al Dasim in Nad Al Sheba Turf Sprint (5/1) at Meydan (6f, good) 51 days ago. 6f Listed winner during a four-race spell in Meydan, first time over 5f, may be vulnerable.
4	3 4th (3) (33/1 +0%) Big Gossey		33 33/1(+0%)																															(3) Big Gossey 33/1, Useful gelding. 22/1, below form 7¼ lengths eighth of 13 to Hurricane Ivor in handicap at the Curragh (6f, heavy) 8 days ago. Uphill task. Five-time winner who has done most of his racing at the Curragh and Dundalk, stiff task.
5th	5 5th (5) (7.5/1 +0%) Hurricane Ivor		7.5 7.5/1(+0%)																															(5) Hurricane Ivor 7.5/1, Useful gelding. Just second outing for this yard when winning 13-runner handicap at the Curragh (6f, heavy) 8 days ago. Ought to be competitive back at listed level. 5f Group 3 winner in 2021, regressive last year, back to something like best this season.
6th	8 6th (8) (100/1 +0%) Pineapple Island		100 100/1(+0%)																															(8) Pineapple Island 100/1, Thrice-raced winner. Won 16-runner maiden (28/1) at Cork (5f, heavy) 16 days ago, driven clear. Very hard to make a case for. Recent Cork maiden winner over this trip, late-maturing filly faces a very tough task here.
7th	7 7th (7) (25/1 -14%) Hodd's Girl		25 25/1(-14%)																															(7) Hodd's Girl 25/1, Useful mare. Course winner. Three wins from 13 runs last year. Latest win at Dundalk in January. Creditable third of 7 in minor event (11/1) at Newcastle (7f) 17 days ago. Down in trip. Six-time Dundalk winner, has made huge progress since winning a 6f handicap here last year.

LTO Selection:

The smart filly 0.4/1 (6) TENEBRISM is predicted to do well, as she has already won a Listed race and is expected to cope well with the drop back in trip. 6.5/1 (5) HURRICANE IVOR and 5/1 (2) MOSS TUCKER may also be competitive at the listed level, but it is unlikely that they will be able to turn the tables on 0.4/1 (6) TENEBRISM. 22/1 (1) COACHELLO, 33/1 (3) BIG GOSSEY, 33/1 (7) HODD'S GIRL, and 100/1 (8) PINEAPPLE ISLAND are not expected to be serious contenders in this race.

It's hard to oppose TENEBRISM after her decisive comeback win over 6f at Cork. She's a dual Group 1 winner and could have a profitable sprinting campaign now that connections have decided that this is the way to go with her. Soft ground is not a problem and nor should the drop in trip be given how much pace she possesses. Moss Tucker is a grand soft-ground sprinter who won at Listed level at Tipperary last year and was fifth in the Prix de l'Abbaye. He was no match for the selection when third at Cork and it's likely to be a similar story this time. Brostaigh won a Listed contest over C&D last year before landing a Group 2 at Chantilly. She would probably prefer drier ground but is capable of a good showing.

TENEBRISM looks set for a productive campaign over sprint trips and can add to her recent Cork reappearance success. Moss Tucker should strip fitter for his recent comeback run behind the selection and can fill the forecast spot ahead of recent Curragh handicap winner Hurricane Ivor.

Dual Group 1 winner TENEBRISM is well suited by the race conditions and handles soft going. The drop in trip should not be a problem

1	3 1st (3) (0.5/1 +67%) Boogie Woogie		0.5 0.5/1(+67%)																															(3) Boogie Woogie 0.5/1, Fairly useful form. Good second (Azazat third) of 10 in maiden (7/2) at Leopardstown (10f, heavy) 19 days ago, running on. Should go well again. Second to a long-priced stablemate on seasonal debut, may confirm form with Azazat.
2	9 2nd (9) (3.2/1 +64%) Scarlett O'Hara		3.2 3.2/1(+64%)																															(9) Scarlett O'Hara 3.2/1, Once-raced filly. Sixth of 15 in maiden (28/1) at Leopardstown (8f, soft) on debut. Off 6 months. Up in trip. Open to improvement. Shaped with promise when stable's second-string on sole run at two, trip should suit.
3	5 3rd (5) (80/1 +20%) Fiver Friday		80 80/1(+20%)																															(5) Fiver Friday 80/1, (Production):€10,000Y: third foal: sister to 1m winner (stays 11f) Addosh: dam useful 1¼m winner. From a small County Antrim stable, sister to a Flat and hurdles winner, dam won over 1m2f.
4	4 4th (4) (25/1 +62%) Fanaigi Linn		25 25/1(+62%)																															(4) Fanaigi Linn 25/1, Once-raced filly. 14/1, fifth of 10 in maiden at Galway (8.3f, heavy) on debut. Off 175 days. Up in trip. Respectable debut at Galway last October, plenty of improvement needed in order to feature.
5th	10 5th (10) (4.5/1 +63%) World Peace		4.5 4.5/1(+63%)																															(10) World Peace 4.5/1, Frankel filly. Yard in good form. By Frankel, first foal out of a Listed-placed winner from a strong Coolmore-linked family.
6th	6 6th (6) (50/1 -52%) Fleadhfest		50 50/1(-52%)																															(6) Fleadhfest 50/1, Twice-raced filly. Tenth of 11 in maiden at Gowran (8f, soft, 6/1) 5 days ago. Back up in trip. Well beaten fifth at Leopardstown, failed to take a step in the right direction at Gowran.
7th	8 7th (8) (250/1 -25%) Miss Heartbreak		250 250/1(-25%)																															(8) Miss Heartbreak 250/1, Once-raced filly. 200/1, eighth of 9 in maiden at Dundalk (10.7f) on debut 13 days ago. Massive price when ran green on debut at Dundalk, can be safely ruled out.

0.73/1 (3) BOOGIE WOOGIE may do well based on their recent form and performance in their last race. 3/1 (9) SCARLETT O'HARA and 4.5/1 (10) WORLD PEACE also have potential for improvement and could surprise. 20/1 (4) FANAIGI LINN and 33/1 (6) FLEADHFEST have not shown enough improvement so far, and 150/1 (8) MISS HEARTBREAK can be ruled out based on their debut performance.

This is a rematch between BOOGIE WOOGIE and Azazat after the pair clashed at Leopardstown earlier this month. The former got the better of the argument by half a length on that occasion in a race won by her longer-priced stablemate Savethelastdance and, with trip and ground similar, can confirm the form. Azazat was narrowly denied in a Curragh maiden on her only start at two and has been strong in the market for both of her outings, so she's sure to throw down a strong challenge again. Scarlett O'Hara was stable outsider when sixth in a Leopardstown maiden over a mile last October. She was only a couple of lengths off runner-up Boogie Woogie on that occasion and could well get closer now given the red-hot form of her stable.

The manner in which AZAZAT's effort flattened out when caught for second by Boogie Woogie on her Leopardstown reappearance suggests she might have just needed that run and she's selected to turn the tables on Aidan O'Brien's filly this time. The other Ballydoyle runners, High Chieftess and newcomer World Peace, may fight it out for third.

This may boil down to a rematch of a similar event at Leopardstown. Runner-up BOOGIE WOOGIEp can again cope with third-placed \bAzazat

Creditable ½-length second of 5 to Trachonitus in nursery at the Curragh (8f, heavy, 6/5) when last seen. Off 180 days.

It is difficult to accurately predict which horse will do well based solely on this summary. However, 2.5/1 (4) SOMETHING NICE seems to have been in good form recently and may have the potential to improve further now that it is handicapping. 5.5/1 (7) RHYTHM KING also had an impressive win at Bellewstown and could be a contender despite the tougher competition.

SOMETHING NICE has only raced on testing ground and appears to have progressed well after a winter break. He beat all bar Shadowed when reappearing in a 20-runner Curragh maiden before opening his account in style at Cork. That form received a boost when the runner-up went close at Gowran recently. Rhythm King relished testing conditions when scoring decisively over a similar trip at Bellewstown earlier this month. That race has produced a couple of subsequent winners, but the handicapper has also had his say and put Mark Fahey's charge up 14lb. Immutable hails from a yard in good form and won a Gowran maiden on soft ground last year while the in-form Jessica Harrington is doubly represented.

SOMETHING NICE promises to do better again now handicapping and the Cork-winner can follow up on his handicap debut. National Emblem is a promising 3-y-o for Jessica Harrington and must be respected on his return. Rhythm King won well at Bellewstown and can give another good account.

The step up in trip should be okay for SOMETHING NICE (nap) who relishes soft ground and his revised mark seems fair

Eleven runs since last win in 2020. 1m2f course winner, showed signs of a return to form at Gowran last week, more needed.
2	15 2nd (15) (5/1 -50%) Golden Spangle		5 5/1(-50%)																															(15) Golden Spangle 5/1, 15/8, didn't enjoy the rub of the green when good third of 16 in handicap at Gowran (7f, soft) 5 days ago. Expected to be bang there despite 2 lb rise in her bid for a maiden success. Set for her third outing in quick succession, two good displays, holds an obvious chance.
3	8 3rd (8) (3/1 +63%) Stay Local		3 3/1(+63%)																															(8) Stay Local 3/1, Promising type. 16/1 and hooded for 1st time, sixth of 11 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.6f, good) on NH debut. Off 8 months. Not taken lightly back in this sphere. Beaten favourite on only two starts last season but showed a respectable standard of form.
4	21 4th (21) (5.5/1 -22%) Rockbury Lad		5.5 5.5/1(-22%)																															(21) Rockbury Lad 5.5/1, 9/4, creditable fourth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (7f) 10 days ago. Shortlisted. RESERVE First reserve, met some trouble in running when fourth at Dundalk recently, merits respect.
5th	10 5th (10) (5/1 +50%) Numidia		5 5/1(+50%)																															(10) Numidia 5/1, Winner at Dundalk in February. Creditable fourth of 15 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f, heavy, 13/2) 19 days ago. Needs considering. Won over this trip at Dundalk in February, form of Leopardstown fourth gives him a chance.
6th	7 6th (7) (50/1 +0%) Thunder Canyon		50 50/1(+0%)																															(7) Thunder Canyon 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1, seventh of 13 in maiden at Thurles (8.1f, good to soft). Off 18 months. Makes handicap debut with his fitness to prove. Did not show enough in three maiden outings in 2021 to suggest he can win off opening mark.
7th	14 7th (14) (66/1 -65%) Stepdance		66 66/1(-65%)																															(14) Stepdance 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Thirteenth of 16 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, heavy, 125/1) 30 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Open to progress. Ran in good company at Gowran on the first of three maiden outings, may find her level.
8th	20 8th (20) (150/1 -127%) Cozy Cartel		150 150/1(-127%)																															(20) Cozy Cartel 150/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eleventh of 13 in maiden (200/1) at Cork (7f, heavy) 16 days ago. Makes handicap debut with lots to find. Finished last on his first four starts, beat only two rivals last time, up against it.
9th	16 9th (16) (33/1 +50%) Srowland Jack		33 33/1(+50%)																															(16) Srowland Jack 33/1, 150/1 and blinkered for 1st time, ninth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (8f) 39 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time now. Moderate form at Dundalk, hard to fancy on the evidence of last season's turf form.
10th	5 10th (5) (11/1 +8%) Hello Power		11 11/1(+8%)																															(5) Hello Power 11/1, 8/1, good fourth of 18 in handicap at Galway (11.8f, heavy). Off 175 days. Significantly back down in trip. First run for yard after leaving G. O'Leary. Looks competitive on form. Consistent in four outings for the now-retired Ger O'Leary last season, could go well.
11th	3 11th (3) (6/1 +73%) Wee Pablo		6 6/1(+73%)																															(3) Wee Pablo 6/1, 5/1, ninth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (7f). Off 166 days. First run for yard after leaving Patrick Martin. Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. Not one of his best efforts on final start last year, fair form previously on heavy ground.
12th	12 12th (12) (16/1 +52%) Snow Lion		16 16/1(+52%)																															(12) Snow Lion 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable seventh of 14 in handicap (18/1) at Dundalk (10.7f). Off 108 days. Back down in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time and no forlorn hope. Out of the money in two Dundalk handicaps, will need to improve, first-time cheekpieces.
13th	6 13th (6) (12/1 -71%) Khattaat		12 12/1(-71%)																															(6) Khattaat 12/1, Creditable second of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (8f, 10/3), no match for winner. Off 101 days but not ruled out. Beaten 5l when second over 7f at Dundalk in January, very soft ground could be a problem.
14th	1 14th (1) (150/1 -200%) Burgoo Beauty		150 150/1(-200%)																															(1) Burgoo Beauty 150/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 125/1, first run since leaving Harry Eustace when last of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (8f). Off 124 days. Finished last on her only handicap start in Britain, same fate in a Dundalk maiden.

LTO Selection:

It is difficult to determine which horse will do well based solely on this summary as there is not enough information provided about their previous performances and current form. However, 3.5/1 (15) GOLDEN SPANGLE seems to have a good chance based on her recent good displays and held back by bad luck in her last outing. 4.5/1 (21) ROCKBURY LAD and 6.5/1 (10) NUMIDIA are also shortlisted as they have shown respectable performances in their recent handicaps.

STAY LOCAL showed plenty of promise on soft ground last year. The lightly raced daughter of Australia went close at Tipperary and was again well-backed when beating all bar the progressive Clear Quartz over this trip at Killarney. The Aidan Howard-trained mare now reappears after a near nine-month break and it will be interesting to see if the market speaks in her favour. Cleopatra's Needle made a pleasing reappearance at Navan and the form of that race received a timely boost when Brave Troop bolted up at Gowran last week. Golden Spangle is being kept busy and comes here on the back of two solid placed efforts. She's bred to appreciate the step up in trip, while Hello Power and Wee Pablo are others to consider.

GOLDEN SPANGLE is fancied to gain her breakthrough success given she wasn't seen to best effect when third in a big field at Gowran last time and remains handily weighted nudged up just 2 lb. Stay Local also looks to have better days ahead of her and is next on the list, with Hello Power and Super Cub completing the shortlist.

With normal improvement from her seasonal debut at Navan, CLEOPATRA'S NEEDLE has fair prospects of recording a breakthrough win

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.
