13:35 Navan Maiden 6f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	3 1st (3) (3.33/1 -48%) Pop Star	3.33 3.33/1(-48%)	(3) Pop Star 3.33/1, Promising type. 10/3, second of 10 in maiden at this course (5f, good to firm). Off 12 months. Blinkers on 1st time. Likely to improve. Looked a possible future winner in two starts last August, blinkered for belated return.
2	6 2nd (6) (0.33/1 +60%) Yosemite Valley	0.33 0.33/1(+60%)	(6) Yosemite Valley 0.33/1, Promising sort. 9/1, built on debut promise when 4¾ lengths second of 6 to Little Big Bear in Anglesey Stakes at the Curragh (6.3f, good to soft). Off 13 months. Very much the one to beat provided he's ready to roll. Second in Group 3 Anglesey Stakes, appeals on form, trip and length of absence concerning.
3	4 3rd (4) (7/1 +18%) Rathbranchurch	7 7/1(+18%)	(4) Rathbranchurch 7/1, Remains a maiden after 12 Flat runs. Wasn't seen to best effect when fifth of 13 in handicap at Cork (5f, heavy, 15/2) 13 days ago, caught out on the far wing for much of the race. 12-race maiden, best form has been over 5f, unplaced in a handicap latest, stiff task.
4	1 4th (1) (250/1 -67%) Grey Daze	250 250/1(-67%)	(1) Grey Daze 250/1, Well held in minor event/maidens at Dundalk earlier in the year and makes turf debut after 6 months off. Makes no appeal on the basis of three outings at Dundalk in January/February.
5th	2 5th (2) (16/1 -60%) Keke	16 16/1(-60%)	(2) Keke 16/1, Looked badly in need of the experience when eighth of 15 in maiden (5/1) at the Curragh (6f, good to soft) on debut 12 days ago. Seems sure to do better with that under his belt. Did not have much luck in running the first time out at the Curragh, improvement likely.
6th	7 6th (7) (80/1 +20%) Calamint	80 80/1(+20%)	(7) Calamint 80/1, Modest filly. 150/1, first run since leaving Joseph G. Murphy when good fifth of 15 in maiden at Bellewstown (7.8f, good to soft) 2 days ago. Down in trip. Modest run in five starts for Joe Murphy, made debut for stable at Bellewstown yesterday.
7th	5 7th (5) (40/1 -150%) Tortured Soul	40 40/1(-150%)	(5) Tortured Soul 40/1, 7/1, didn't show a great deal first time up when tenth of 12 in claimer at Leopardstown (7.2f, good) 2 weeks ago. Entitled to come on for the experience. Slowly away and never in serious contention on debut in a 7f claiming race at Leopardstown.
8th	9 8th (9) (200/1 -150%) Tarfeh	200 200/1(-150%)	(9) Tarfeh 200/1, Has failed to beat a rival on both starts a year apart, latest in first-time blinkers. Easy to ignore. Eased when chance had gone at Deauville on only start at two, last of 14 on Irish debut.

LTO Selection:

YOSEMITE VALLEY returns from over a year out and, as a Group 3 runner-up, he should prove hard to beat. An eyecatching fourth on debut, with a whole host of subsequent winners in behind, he proved no match for Little Big Bear on his only other start in the Anglesey Stakes. An expensive yearling purchase, Pop Star is the danger. Second over the course and distance when last seen just over a year ago, the Sioux Nation colt is fitted with blinkers for the first time now. Keke came in for plenty of market support on debut at the Curragh recently and while he finished eighth, he had a far from smooth passage. With that experience under his belt, the Eddie Lynam-trained bay should be able to make an impact here.

YOSEMITE VALLEY hasn't been seen since finishing runner-up to Little Big Bear in the Anglesey Stakes at the Curragh 13 months ago and if anywhere near that level on return, Donnacha O'Brien's colt is likely to take some stopping. He can get the better of Pop Star, who took a step forward from his debut but is also returning from a lengthy absence. Rathbranchurch and the once-raced Keke can do battle for third spot.

This stiff track may help last year's Anglesey Stakes second YOSEMITE VALLEY see off a likely challenge by Pop Star

13:35 Navan Maiden 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:05 Navan Handicap 6f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	7 1st (7) (3.5/1 +46%) Bid For Chester	3.5 3.5/1(+46%)	(7) Bid For Chester 3.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 18/1, fifth of 8 in nursery at the Curragh (7f, good) 5 days ago. Others preferred. Not disgraced tried over 7f in a Curragh nursery on Saturday; stiff five likely to suit.
2	6 2nd (6) (6.5/1 -18%) Glamorously	6.5 6.5/1(-18%)	(6) Glamorously 6.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 50/1, nineteenth of 20 in minor event at Naas (5.9f, soft) 24 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time now pitched into a nursery and she's not ruled out. Ran okay in sprint maidens at Bellewstown and Naas on ground with an ease; could go close.
3	8 3rd (8) (10/1 -100%) Veracidad	10 10/1(-100%)	(8) Veracidad 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Bit below form third of 9 in nursery at Sligo (5.7f, good to soft, 9/2) 22 days ago, met some trouble. Yard in good form and possibilities if responding well to the fitting of a visor. Two runs in sprint nurseries last twice probably her best efforts; tried in a visor here.
4	3 4th (3) (18/1 -29%) Promo Queen	18 18/1(-29%)	(3) Promo Queen 18/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 12 in maiden (250/1) at Dundalk (6f) 16 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time for this nursery debut and needs to raise her game. Good run at Dundalk; going the right way and cheekpieces added here; contender.
5th	1 5th (1) (4/1 -33%) Mr Saturday	4 4/1(-33%)	(1) Mr Saturday 4/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Twelfth of 15 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, good, 7/2) 19 days ago, finding little. Worth another chance given previous promise now pitched into a nursery. Feasibly handicapped on his best form and won't be far away if he can rediscover it.
6th	5 6th (5) (3.33/1 +39%) Sanshiro	3.33 3.33/1(+39%)	(5) Sanshiro 3.33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 11/2, bit below form sixth of 11 in nursery at the Curragh (6f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Blinkers back on and he shouldn't be far away. Headgear is back on today which should help and certainly not without a chance.
7th	2 7th (2) (3.33/1 +45%) Si Senior	3.33 3.33/1(+45%)	(2) Si Senior 3.33/1, Thrice-raced winner. Won 11-runner maiden (16/1) at Sligo (5.7f, good to soft) 22 days ago, always holding on. More on her plate now switched to a nursery. Came good at the third time of asking when landing a Sligo maiden; could be more to come.
8th	4 8th (4) (33/1 -65%) Excel In Space	33 33/1(-65%)	(4) Excel In Space 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 11 in nursery (40/1) at the Curragh (6f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Others more persuasive on balance. Beaten a long way last twice since being gelded, latest a Curragh nursery; hard to fancy.

LTO Selection:

It might be worth taking a chance on VERACIDAD in this open contest. With Wayne Hassett claiming 7lb, the Ken Condon-trained selection will carry a featherweight and is fitted with a visor for the first time. Third on her most recent start at Sligo after being hampered over a furlong out, it'll come as no surprise if she manages to go a few places better now. Top-weight Mr Saturday is given second preference. While he disappointed on his most recent start at the Curragh, he makes his debut in handicap company now and with Jack Kearney claiming a valuable 7lb, he should go close. Si Senior is the only winner in the line-up and she'll be well fancied to follow up on her recent Sligo success, while Sanshiro is another capable of making his presence felt.

Though he went out like a light at the Curragh recently, MR SATURDAY shaped well when runner-up on his first two starts and is well worth another chance now moving into nursery company. Veracidad is next on the list, though Glamorously needs a second look and Sanshiro is also worthy of consideration.

Preference is for SI SENIOR, winner of a Sligo maiden which is working out well with probably more improvement to come

14:05 Navan Handicap 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:35 Navan Maiden 5f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (8/1 +0%) Francis Meynell	8 8/1(+0%)	(1) Francis Meynell 8/1, 70,000gns foal, 125,000gns 2-y-o. Half-brother to several winners, including smart 6f/7f winner Donnerschlag (by Bahamian Bounty) and 5f-7f (including at 2 yrs) winner Izzy Bizu (by Kodiac) and useful 2-y-o 6f winner De Boss Man (by Dandy Man). Dam 1m-9.7f winner. Respected debutant. Breeze-up purchase with plenty of speed in his pedigree; watch the market.
2	4 2nd (4) (5/1 +17%) Emerald Banner	5 5/1(+17%)	(4) Emerald Banner 5/1, Once-raced filly. Fifth of 11 in minor event at Naas (5.9f, good, 12/1) on debut 54 days ago. Stable in good form so not ruled out if building on initial effort. Green on last month's Naas debut but showed some promise; more expected of now.
3	2 3rd (2) (0.62/1 +15%) Tourist	0.62 0.62/1(+15%)	(2) Tourist 0.62/1, Promising Zoustar colt who showed fairly useful form when second of 5 in minor event (11/2) at Naas (5f, good to firm). Off 102 days. Leading claims. May well have been waiting for better ground and likely to take the beating here.
4	8 4th (8) (3.5/1 -5%) Vanity Pays	3.5 3.5/1(-5%)	(8) Vanity Pays 3.5/1, Lightly-raced filly. Creditable second of 12 in maiden (5/2) at Cork (5f, heavy) 13 days ago. Well in the mix. Runner-up three times; will get her turn but no surprise if she finds one too good again.
5th	3 5th (3) (20/1 +60%) Awesome Spirit Gal	20 20/1(+60%)	(3) Awesome Spirit Gal 20/1, Once-raced filly. Tenth of 16 in maiden (40/1) at the Curragh (6f, good) on debut 18 days ago. Open to improvement. Moyglare entry fanciful but no surprise if she was capable of better than her debut effort.
6th	5 6th (5) (80/1 -21%) Go On Go On Uhavit	80 80/1(-21%)	(5) Go On Go On Uhavit 80/1, Twice-raced filly. Eighth of 12 in maiden at Dundalk (6f, 50/1) 16 days ago. Lots more is needed. Well beaten in two maidens but not beaten far at Dundalk latest; needs this for a mark.
7th	6 7th (6) (150/1 +25%) Our Queen Bee	150 150/1(+25%)	(6) Our Queen Bee 150/1, Twice-raced filly. Last of 11 in maiden at Tipperary (7.4f, soft, 150/1) 20 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Has not beaten a single rival in two maidens; makes no appeal here.
8th	7 8th (7) (80/1 -60%) Sophia Klimt	80 80/1(-60%)	(7) Sophia Klimt 80/1, Foaled April 30. Gustav Klimt filly. Dam unraced. Wears tongue strap. Market can guide. Tongue-tied for her debut; likely to improve with time and a longer trip.

LTO Selection:

The Ger Lyons-trained TOURIST gets the nod over Vanity Pays. Out of dual Group 3 winner Ainippe, who Lyons also trained, the bay selection has filled the runner-up spot on his two starts to date. Beaten by high-class individuals on both occasions, he should have an easier time of things now. The 85-rated Vanity Pays has some solid efforts to her name and certainly wouldn't be winning out of turn. Getting a weight allowance and with Jamie Powell claiming 5lb, she will carry nearly a stone less than the selection. A solid fifth on debut, Emerald Banner should come on plenty for that effort and looks capable of making her presence felt. Newcomer Francis Meynell is closely related to a whole host of winners and is the most interesting of the remainder.

TOURIST has shaped well when runner-up on both his starts, most recently at Naas, and looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to go one better now. Vanity Pays also has some fairly useful form to her name and appeals as the one to chase home Ger Lyons' Zoustar colt ahead of Naas fifth Emerald Banner and newcomer Francis Meynell.

The selection is TOURIST, runner-up to two useful Ballydoyle colts in the Spring and well capable of winning a maiden of this standard

14:35 Navan Maiden 5f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:05 Navan Maiden 8f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	3 1st (3) (10/1 +0%) Nika Pika	10 10/1(+0%)	(3) Nika Pika 10/1, Lightly-raced filly. Last of 4 in nursery (17/2) at Galway (7f, soft) 26 days ago. Bit to prove. Place chance on the basis of third over 6f at the Curragh, first shot at 1m now.
2	6 2nd (6) (6/1 +0%) Guest Star	6 6/1(+0%)	(6) Guest Star 6/1, Lightly-raced gelding. Eighth of 11 in nursery at the Curragh (6f, good to soft, 18/1) 11 days ago. Yard having good spell. Blinkers on 1st time. Needs to get back on track. Well beaten in orthodox maidens, found 6f inadequate on handicap debut, may do better now.
3	7 3rd (7) (5/1 +29%) Not Far To Fall	5 5/1(+29%)	(7) Not Far To Fall 5/1, Twice-raced gelding. 10/1, seventh of 12 in maiden at Galway (7f, good) 27 days ago. More required. Not beaten far in seventh at Down Royal, beaten 15l when taking the same place at Galway.
4	4 4th (4) (7.5/1 -36%) Tartaraghan	7.5 7.5/1(-36%)	(4) Tartaraghan 7.5/1, Thrice-raced filly. 9/2 and hooded for 1st time, thirteenth of 14 in maiden at Gowran (7f, soft) 33 days ago. Ran with credit on penultimate outing and shouldn't be ruled out. Chance on her 3/4l second at Bellewstown, Gowran run was far too bad to be true.
5th	1 5th (1) (4/1 -45%) Admiral Mae	4 4/1(-45%)	(1) Admiral Mae 4/1, Foaled April 13. €37,000 yearling, U S Navy Flag gelding. Dam, 1½m winner who stayed 1¾m, half-sister to useful 2-y-o 8.3f winner (stayed 2m) Landofhopeandglory. Stable in good form. Wears blinkers. No surprise to see him go well first time up. Gelded son of U S Navy Flag out of a 1m4f handicap winner by Australia blinkered.
6th	8 6th (8) (66/1 +0%) Redondo	66 66/1(+0%)	(8) Redondo 66/1, Twice-raced gelding. 100/1, ninth of 11 in maiden at Bellewstown (7.8f, good to soft) 55 days ago. Has raced keenly in races at Down Royal and this venue ending up in rear, makes no appeal.
7th	5 7th (5) (3.33/1 +70%) Answer Me Nay	3.33 3.33/1(+70%)	(5) Answer Me Nay 3.33/1, Twice-raced filly. 33/1, eighth of 16 in maiden at Cork (6f, good) 34 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Others make more appeal. Found 5f too short on debut at this venue. fair run over 6f at Cork on second start.
8th	2 8th (2) (4/1 -33%) Courageous Strike	4 4/1(-33%)	(2) Courageous Strike 4/1, Lightly-raced colt. 21 lengths last of 5 to Henry Longfellow in Futurity Stakes at the Curragh (7f, good to soft, 125/1) 12 days ago. Chance to make more impact dropped back in grade. Runner-up in a Roscommon maiden in May on debut, last two run have been very ambitious.
9th	10 9th (10) (40/1 -60%) Stall The Ball	40 40/1(-60%)	(10) Stall The Ball 40/1, Foaled April 22. €4,000 yearling, Gustav Klimt gelding. Half-brother to winners abroad by Rock of Gibraltar and Belardo. Half-brother to winners in Spain, dam a French-trained maiden, unlikely to feature.
10th	9 10th (9) (40/1 +20%) Soiree Dansante	40 40/1(+20%)	(9) Soiree Dansante 40/1, Twice-raced filly. 80/1, last of 12 in maiden at Dundalk (6f) 16 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Has finished at the back in outings at Leopardstown and Dundalk, safe out to rule out.

LTO Selection:

One of two newcomers in the line-up, ADMIRAL MAE won't have to be a star to take this. Out of a half-sister to seven-time winner Landofhopeandglory, who won over a mile on debut, he is in for the maximum claiming price of 30,000 euros. Joseph O'Brien trains the selection and is also represented by Answer Me Nay. The Ten Sovereigns bay has two solid efforts to her name and it'll be interesting to see how she fares going out in trip. Second on debut at Roscommon in May, Courageous Strike takes a significant drop in class after finishing last of five in the Futurity Stakes. The chestnut colt is given second preference and it'll be disappointing if he is not involved towards the business end. Tartaraghan flopped on soft ground at Gowran last month and a much improved performance can be expected from her now, while Nika Pika, Guest Star (first-time blinkers) and Not Far To Fall are others who warrant respect.

ADMIRAL MAE makes some appeal on pedigree and represents a top stable, so he's worth a chance to make a winning start in first-time blinkers in a race where the bar isn't set very high by those with experience. A return to form from either Courageous Strike or Tartaraghan would put them in the mix.

This is a huge drop in class for COURAGEOUS STRIKE and he may be able to take advantage. Blinkered newcomer Admiral Mae may feature

15:05 Navan Maiden 8f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:35 Navan Handicap 8f - 17 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	10 1st (10) (18/1 -64%) Signora Bellissima	18 18/1(-64%)	(10) Signora Bellissima 18/1, 15/2, ninth of 10 in handicap at Sligo (10.5f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Down in trip. Stable having good spell. Blinkers on 1st time. Needs a couple of these to falter. No real respite from the handicapper and drops in trip here in first time blinkers.
2	18 2nd (18) (12/1 +14%) Perfect Poise	12 12/1(+14%)	(18) Perfect Poise 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 15 in handicap at Leopardstown (7.2f, good, 25/1) 14 days ago, not clear run. No forlorn hope. Not beaten far in a Leopardstown handicap last time; bad draw but the stable first-string.
3	3 3rd (3) (11/1 +45%) Royal Pippen	11 11/1(+45%)	(3) Royal Pippen 11/1, 9/1, last of 8 in handicap at Ayr (8f, good) 53 days ago. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort. Fine effort on seasonal debut at Limerick but was below that at Ayr; has to bounce back.
4	2 4th (2) (5/1 +17%) Gambe Veloci	5 5/1(+17%)	(2) Gambe Veloci 5/1, Winner at Limerick in April. 9/2, last of 16 in handicap at Galway (7f, soft) 30 days ago. Trainer going well so he still merits consideration. Beaten a long way at Galway last time but certainly respected if that can be ignored.
5th	14 5th (14) (20/1 -82%) Miss Mchenry	20 20/1(-82%)	(14) Miss Mchenry 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable fifth of 17 in maiden (25/1) at Leopardstown (10f, good to soft) 42 days ago. Hood on 1st time. Makes handicap debut with better to come. Considered. Hooded and interesting on her handicap bow back in trip but looks the stable second string.
6th	6 6th (6) (10/1 +0%) Imposing Supreme	10 10/1(+0%)	(6) Imposing Supreme 10/1, Latest win at Bellewstown in July. Below form eighth of 16 in handicap at Galway (7f, soft, 8/1) 30 days ago so needs to bounce back. Did not run to his best at Galway last time but comes into it on previous form.
7th	15 7th (15) (16/1 -14%) Toriangel	16 16/1(-14%)	(15) Toriangel 16/1, Eleventh of 15 in handicap (5/1) at Leopardstown (7.2f, good) 14 days ago. Can make presence felt if shrugging off latest effort. Third to Eastern Wind at Leopardstown and not beaten far there last time; could run well.
8th	11 8th (11) (18/1 -29%) Exquisite Acclaim	18 18/1(-29%)	(11) Exquisite Acclaim 18/1, Respectable third of 7 in handicap at Gowran (7f, good, 28/1) 15 days ago. Stable in good form. Cheekpieces back on. Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. Third to a stablemate in a 7f Gowran handicap two weeks ago; chance if he can step forward.
9th	13 9th (13) (14/1 +58%) Solar Breeze	14 14/1(+58%)	(13) Solar Breeze 14/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Eleventh of 15 in handicap (12/1) at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft) 44 days ago, slowly away. Needs a couple of these to falter. Needs to raise her game following Killarney run; that came after a good break.
10th	4 10th (4) (4.5/1 +31%) Eastern Wind	4.5 4.5/1(+31%)	(4) Eastern Wind 4.5/1, Latest win at Leopardstown in July. 15/2, good third of 11 in handicap there (7f, good) 7 days ago. Player eased 1 lb. Close third in a better Leopardstown handicap last week; likely to be thereabouts.
11th	19 11th (19) (33/1 +18%) Might And Mercy	33 33/1(+18%)	(19) Might And Mercy 33/1, Creditable sixth of 15 in handicap at Leopardstown (7.2f, good, 20/1) 14 days ago. Shortlisted. RESERVE. First reserve; had a couple of these behind at Leopardstown; each-way claims.
12th	8 12th (8) (8/1 +0%) Is That Love	8 8/1(+0%)	(8) Is That Love 8/1, Sole run for John J. Nallen when winning 12-runner claimer (2/1) at Leopardstown (7.2f, good) 14 days ago. Not ruled out for another new stable now. Leopardstown claimer winner; first start for a new yard here and comes into calculations.
13th	5 13th (5) (66/1 -100%) Mulgrave	66 66/1(-100%)	(5) Mulgrave 66/1, 3 wins from 7 runs this year. Latest win at Dundalk in February. 20/1, twelfth of 14 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, good) 49 days ago. Hard to make a case for. Needs to come down a few more pounds before heading back to Dundalk for the winter.
14th	1 14th (1) (12/1 +57%) Brogue	12 12/1(+57%)	(1) Brogue 12/1, Lightly-raced winner. Below form fifth of 10 in minor event at Leopardstown (15f, good, 5/2). Off over 2 years. Significantly down in trip. Stable having good spell. More needed on his handicap debut. Has never run over a trip this short; not dismissed with the stable in such good form.
15th	17 15th (17) (14/1 +13%) Rochester Mike	14 14/1(+13%)	(17) Rochester Mike 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Pulled up in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, good, 13/2) 77 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Gelded since June and cheekpieces tried; unexposed and could prove very well handicapped.
16th	9 16th (9) (7.5/1 -7%) Punk Poet	7.5 7.5/1(-7%)	(9) Punk Poet 7.5/1, 4/1, improved on recent efforts to win 14-runner handicap at Dundalk (8f) 16 days ago, keeping on well. Player off turf mark. Up 11lb for Dundalk but still treated well enough on his best form; not one to rule out.
17th	12 17th (12) (33/1 +0%) Zahee	33 33/1(+0%)	(12) Zahee 33/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Eleventh of 17 in handicap (16/1) at Leopardstown (8f, good) 84 days ago. Unreliable type. Down 3lb from last week but probably needs to come down a bit more.

LTO Selection:

PERFECT POISE is drawn wide and faces seasoned campaigners, but met trouble on her handicap debut. By Kodiac and out of a Listed winner, she was drawn similarly wide in 18 at Leopardstown when meeting significant traffic and having been beaten just six lengths (with reserve Might And Mercy finishing sixth and Toriangel 11th), can win from her rating. Punk Poet is drawn wider in 20 but is ideally suited by a mile. He has been hit with a 14lb rise for winning at Dundalk but was rated 87 just last year. Is That Love has hopped from yard to yard having run in consecutive recent claimers, but faces a tougher test. Eastern Wind is ground-versatile and in form, while Royal Pippen would prefer easy ground and was well held at Ayr. Five-time winner Imposing Supreme is able at this level, Exquisite Acclaim's rating has fallen, and Signora Bellissima runs in first-time blinkers.

Lots with chances but EASTERN WIND looks the way to go eased 1 lb on the back of his good Leopardstown third last time out. Handicap debutante Miss McHenry appeals as a likely improver so merits plenty of respect along with Dundalk scorer Punk Poet.

There could be more to come from ROCHESTER MIKE(nap), yet to fire this season but gelded since his last run and with cheekpieces tried

Morte on his plate back in a handicap. Raised 9lb for finishing fourth in a claimer, previous handicap form makes him vulnerable.
2	10 2nd (10) (3.33/1 +39%) Macinamillion	3.33 3.33/1(+39%)	(10) Macinamillion 3.33/1, Creditable sixth of 13 in handicap at Down Royal (12.8f, good to soft, 7/1) 34 days ago. Can make presence felt. Improved effort when third over 1m3f at Killarney, not beaten far in 1m5f Down Royal race.
3	3 3rd (3) (7/1 -17%) Kermiya	7 7/1(-17%)	(3) Kermiya 7/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 13 in maiden at Killarney (11.2f, good to soft, 40/1) 45 days ago. Up in trip. Stable in good form. Makes handicap debut. Potential improver. One place in front of Alluring, appeals as a more likely staying type than that opponent.
4	8 4th (8) (16/1 +36%) Laudable	16 16/1(+36%)	(8) Laudable 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 20/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, eleventh of 15 in handicap at Killarney (11.2f, good to soft) 45 days ago. Up in trip. Stable in good form. Soundly beaten in his first two handicaps, main positive is trainer's good current form.
5th	5 5th (5) (12/1 +52%) Blenheim Lad	12 12/1(+52%)	(5) Blenheim Lad 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Thirteenth of 18 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f, good, 14/1) 14 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Well beaten on handicap debut over 1m4f at Roscommon, same latest over 1m1f.
6th	2 6th (2) (22/1 -83%) Alluring	22 22/1(-83%)	(2) Alluring 22/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 13 in maiden (50/1) at Killarney (11.2f, good to soft) 45 days ago. Up in trip. Stable having good spell. Makes handicap debut. Well bred and potential improver in this sphere. Has shown some promise in maidens, but pedigree does not guarantee she will stay this far.
7th	6 7th (6) (4.5/1 +10%) Glyde Ranger	4.5 4.5/1(+10%)	(6) Glyde Ranger 4.5/1, Career best when winning 14-runner handicap (16/1) at Sligo (13.2f, good to soft) 22 days ago, having benefit of enterprising ride. Recorded wide-margin win over 1m5f at Sligo, up 9lb for that and stamina not an issue.
8th	7 8th (7) (28/1 -100%) Sparkit	28 28/1(-100%)	(7) Sparkit 28/1, Thrice-raced maiden on Flat. 4/1 and visored for 1st time, seventh of 11 in juvenile hurdle at Killarney (17f, good) 41 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Third on the first of two juvenile hurdle outings, Flat form has been modest, cheekpieces.
9th	4 9th (4) (8/1 +50%) Rauzan	8 8/1(+50%)	(4) Rauzan 8/1, 20/1, bit below form twelfth of 21 in handicap at the Curragh (14f, good) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. May struggle to reverse Down Royal form with Macinamillion, down the field at the Curragh.
10th	12 10th (12) (14/1 +30%) Real History	14 14/1(+30%)	(12) Real History 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 16/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Tipperary (9f, good to soft). Off 133 days. Visor on 1st time. Needs a couple of these to falter. Finished with only one behind him on handicap debut over 1m1f at this venue, hard to fancy.
11th	1 11th (1) (18/1 -140%) Navajo River	18 18/1(-140%)	(1) Navajo River 18/1, Lightly-raced winner. 200/1, career best when winning 12-runner maiden at Roscommon (12f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Has good chance on form. Into handicap company after 1m4f Roscommon win at 200-1, plenty of weight, useful claim.
12th	9 12th (9) (3.33/1 +17%) Navy Beach	3.33 3.33/1(+17%)	(9) Navy Beach 3.33/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, respectable ninth of 17 in handicap at Galway (8.4f, good to soft, 9/4) 27 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Remains unexposed and Colin Keane takes the ride again. First two handicap runs were quite promising, disappointing Galway display, new trip now.
13th	13 13th (13) (33/1 +18%) Annalough	33 33/1(+18%)	(13) Annalough 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 12 lengths eighth of 12 to Navajo River in maiden at Roscommon (12f, good to soft, 100/1) 9 days ago, slowly away. Makes handicap debut. Finished last on both starts in maidens at two, better over 1m4f on return, 1m6f may suit.

LTO Selection:

KERMIYA should be suited by this staying distance and runs in her first handicap. Aga Khan-bred, she contested a hot maiden on debut and while disappointing in June, ran nicely to the line at Killarney, suggesting she is progressive. Alluring was a length and a half behind the selection and has a similar profile. She, too, is well bred, ran nicely at Killarney and is also likely to be suited by this distance on handicap debut. Galileo-sired Navy Beach has the pedigree to nuke his 59-rating but was disappointing in a first-time tongue-tie at Galway. He has caught the eye on occasions and it is very notable he almost doubles in distance today. Navajo River won an ordinary Roscommon maiden at 200/1 and races on drier ground. Glyde Ranger, by a sprinting sire, won well over a similar distance at Sligo but would prefer soft ground.

There didn't look to be any fluke about NAVAJO RIVER's shock maiden win last week and an opening mark of 70 could prove lenient. Kermiya and Alluring appeal as possible improvers in handicaps and head the dangers along with Sligo scorer Glyde Ranger.

The Aga Khan's KERMIYA has run in good maidens and may be better suited by this trip than Alluring, 1 1/2l behind her at Killarney

2	16 2nd (16) (8/1 +43%) Appian Way	8 8/1(+43%)	(16) Appian Way 8/1, 12/1, respectable sixth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (25.4f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time on the Flat (on when winning over jumps). Needs a couple of these to falter. Won twice over hurdles last autumn for Charles O'Brien, fair Flat run at Tramore in June.
3	19 3rd (19) (28/1 -27%) Tenth Amendment	28 28/1(-27%)	(19) Tenth Amendment 28/1, One win from 44 Flat runs. Thirty one runs since last win in 2018. 40/1, bit below form eleventh of 21 in handicap at the Curragh (14f, good) 18 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. 1-44 on Flat, best run this season was on penultimate start, hard to make a strong case.
4	13 4th (13) (4/1 +50%) Fond Farewell	4 4/1(+50%)	(13) Fond Farewell 4/1, 1 win from 2 runs this year. Winner at Limerick in April. Bit below form ninth of 16 in handicap at Limerick (11.3f, good, 5/2) 69 days ago. Up in trip. Yard in good form.

7th	10 7th (10) (12/1 +57%) Virtual Hug	12 12/1(+57%)	(10) Virtual Hug 12/1, Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. Respectable sixth of 14 in handicap at Sligo (13.2f, good to soft, 8/1) 22 days ago. Something to find on form. Juvenile hurdle winner is a maiden on the Flat after 18 starts, others preferred.
8th	6 8th (6) (7/1 +50%) Pale Moonlight	7 7/1(+50%)	(6) Pale Moonlight 7/1, 7/1, bit below form sixth of 16 in handicap at Leopardstown (12.8f, good to soft) 42 days ago, slowly away.

10th	9 10th (9) (18/1 -29%) Prince Of Abington	18 18/1(-29%)	(9) Prince Of Abington 18/1, Twenty-eight runs since last win in 2020. Bit below form eighth of 18 in handicap at Naas (8f, soft, 9/2) 36 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Needs a couple of these to falter. Navan third offered some hope that he can end a losing sequence, beaten favourite since.
11th	14 11th (14) (10/1 +75%) Scalor	10 10/1(+75%)	(14) Scalor 10/1, Seventh of 11 in handicap (28/1) at Tramore (16f, good to soft) 51 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Winning hurdler/chaser, 0-13 on Flat, others have stronger credentials.

Shortlist material. 15-race maiden has gone close a few times; needs to improve on this year's turf form.
15th	17 15th (17) (80/1 -21%) Ben Alexander	80 80/1(-21%)	(17) Ben Alexander 80/1, Remains a maiden after 22 Flat runs. 80/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Tipperary (12.5f, soft) 20 days ago. Uphill task. Placed over 1m here three seasons ago, struggled at Tipperary on first run after a layoff.
16th	15 16th (15) (100/1 +0%) Hague Convention	100 100/1(+0%)	(15) Hague Convention 100/1, Sixteenth of 18 in handicap (66/1) at Galway (11.8f, heavy). Off 10 months. Six years since he was second at Bellewstown, struggled on only 2022 run after long layoff.
17th	8 17th (8) (7/1 -8%) Franno	7 7/1(-8%)	(8) Franno 7/1, Unreliable sort. Latest win at Bellewstown in July. 5/1, respectable fourth of 14 in handicap at Roscommon (12f, good to soft) 9 days ago, not clear run. Needs a couple of these to falter. Holding her form well since Bellewstown win, ran on late over 1m4f at Roscommon.

LTO Selection:

CELTIC REVIVAL is drawn wide in 19 and is a maiden on turf but has been running well. By Sea The Stars, he improved when upped to middle-distances this year, likes good ground and competes at this 47-65 grade under a 7lb claimer. Fond Farewell's yard was out of form when he disappointed in June but is flying now. He returns from a mini-break and is just 3lb higher than when winning at Limerick, and also steps up in distance. Make Good is well handicapped in this sphere but is lightly raced. A Cheltenham Grade 2-winning hurdler, he returned from 683 days off when a fine third at the Curragh last October, but will benefit from today's latest reappearance. Three-time winner Franno has been running well, while Curious Bride ran well on recent reappearance and has proven stamina. Pale Moonlight has been running reasonably well but hasn't won since October 2021.

ELZAAMSAN remains a maiden following 15 attempts but he caught the eye in this headgear combination at Leopardstown last time and, granted better luck-in-running here, he could be the answer. Make Good was returning from a lengthy absence when a close third in a big-field handicap at the Curragh in October and will be a big threat if able to build on that back from a 10-month break. Celtic Revival and Curious Bride are others to consider.

With his stable in excellent form lately, FOND FAREWELL may recover losses incurred when a beaten favourite at Limerick in June.

Modest on the Flat, respectable on last Flat outing. Respected. Got off the mark over hurdles latest over 2m4f at Killarney; could make his presence felt.
2	1 2nd (1) (4.5/1 +63%) Beautiful Chaos	4.5 4.5/1(+63%)	(1) Beautiful Chaos 4.5/1, Respectable seventh of 18 in handicap (18/1) at Galway (12f, good to soft) 28 days ago.

3	11 3rd (11) (3/1 +10%) Building Bridges	3 3/1(+10%)	(11) Building Bridges 3/1, Course winner. Won 20-runner handicap hurdle at Galway (22f, good to soft, 40/1) 29 days ago, joining leader line. Fair on the Flat, creditable on last Flat outing. Makes plenty of appeal. Two recent hurdle wins; should be well capable of winning a Flat handicap off this mark.
4	7 4th (7) (33/1 -32%) Annecherie	33 33/1(-32%)	(7) Annecherie 33/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Sixteenth of 21 in handicap (80/1) at the Curragh (14f, good) 18 days ago, very slowly away. Others make more appeal. Both wins have come on AW and turf form this season has been poor; makes little appeal.

Cheekpieces on 1st time. Plenty to prove. Well beaten at Tramore; cheekpieces tried here but others look much more likely.
8th	17 8th (17) (16/1 +0%) Contrapposto	16 16/1(+0%)	(17) Contrapposto 16/1, One win from 44 Flat runs. 10/3, ninth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (16f, good) 14 days ago. Modest on the Flat, creditable on last Flat run. Respected. Sligo runner-up disappointed in a Tramore handicap hurdle since; needs to bounce back.
9th	9 9th (9) (9/1 +44%) Maura's Gift	9 9/1(+44%)	(9) Maura's Gift 9/1, Below form ninth of 17 in handicap at this course (10f, soft, 12/1) 47 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Should strip fitter for that run, so could get back on his game. Will come on for latest and the booking of the champion jockey significant; big player.
10th	3 10th (3) (100/1 -25%) Sea The Sunset	100 100/1(-25%)	(3) Sea The Sunset 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Ninth of 15 in novice hurdle at Tramore (16f, good, 200/1) 14 days ago. Poor on last Flat run. Mostly campaigned over hurdles this year to no effect and last in a Tipperary handicap.
11th	8 11th (8) (50/1 +24%) Dreams Fled Away	50 50/1(+24%)	(8) Dreams Fled Away 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Thirteenth of 14 in handicap (50/1) at Sligo (13.2f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Others preferred. Poor performer on all known evidence; easy to pass over.
12th	18 12th (18) (12/1 +70%) Molly Hall	12 12/1(+70%)	(18) Molly Hall 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. 12/1, below form ninth of 15 in handicap at Gowran (9.4f, good) 15 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Others make more appeal. Decent effort at Gowran; could well be more to come off a 2lb lower mark.

14th	13 14th (13) (9/1 +44%) Bolero	9 9/1(+44%)	(13) Bolero 9/1, Remains a maiden after 21 Flat runs. 12/1, bit below form seventh of 14 in handicap at Sligo (13.2f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Claims on his early season form but needs to step up on his two most recent efforts.
15th	6 15th (6) (7/1 -40%) Ellaat	7 7/1(-40%)	(6) Ellaat 7/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, good fourth of 15 in handicap (3/1) at Gowran (14f, soft), never nearer. Off 113 days. Stable going well and he's likely to be on the premises. First run since being hit with a 90-day ban at Gowran in May; watch the market.
16th	12 16th (12) (12/1 +52%) Chilean	12 12/1(+52%)	(12) Chilean 12/1, Twenty four runs since last win in 2018. 33/1, hinted at a revival when seventh of 21 in handicap at the Curragh (14f, good) 18 days ago, not ideally placed. Not discounted from sliding mark. Best recent effort when staying on in a 1m6f Curragh handicap last time; each-way chance.

LTO Selection:

TORY REEL recently won over hurdles and reverts to Flat handicaps over a suitable distance. A half-brother to a Group 3 winner, he likes good ground and is nicely drawn. Vintage Gold was well held on his last Flat run - just two days before winning an ordinary recent Killarney hurdle. He, too, is a well-bred four-year-old who should continue to progress. Stablemate Barometer has been running well in similar handicaps, while stayer Building Bridges has done very well over hurdles recently but had previously been well held on the level.

BUILDING BRIDGES is well handicapped in this sphere and has looked better than ever over hurdles lately, so he's a confident choice. Barometer arrives on the back of a solid showing and should be on the premises, while Ellaat needs considering for a stable that has been amongst the winners this week.

Preference is for MAURA'S GIFT, who looks likely to come on plenty for her recent effort here last month with Colin Keane booked

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.
