Magnetic North is the obvious starting point having rattled off a trio of claimers in June and July before an underwhelming return to hurdling in Sligo. He is swerved on this occasion, though, with soft ground on the agenda. The consistent KHAFAAQ appeals, particularly with Cian Horgan taking 7lb off his back. He has posted two victories, including one in a handicap over a similar trip at Cork, and three places from his last five outings. He has form on soft ground. Denis Hogan's Bal De Rio should be more than capable in this grade, especially if the ground is very testing. His stablemate Roderick landed a claimer at Killarney last month, which entitles him to respect. Comfort Line had a horror draw when unplaced in Galway, but could enjoy dropping into this class.

KHAFAAQ rates the pick of these weights so looks the way to go on the back of his good recent Galway third. Bal de Rio is feared most reverted to this sphere with Theresathought also one to consider in an open claimer.

Magnetic North and Comfort Line have strong claims but KHAFAAQ's consistency is a big selling point at this level.

BAD DESIRE, who holds three Group 2 entries, can build upon a promising runner-up berth on debut at Galway. He was collared in the closing stages by a short-priced favourite and testing ground will hold no fears for him after that performance. Cambridge is a half-brother to a Listed winner and holds a Group 2 entry at Newmarket next month. He is an obvious threat on his racecourse debut for Aidan O'Brien. The form of Star Hunter's third at Leopardstown in May has been very well franked. He doesn't have any notable entries but if handling this much slower ground, should be a danger to all. Thor's Hammer showed considerable improvement when filling the runner-up spot on his second start in Killarney. He was well backed that day and slow ground will suit him fine.

BAD DESIRE shaped well when a debut runner-up at Galway and is fancied to build on it and go one better now at the chief expense of form-pick Thor's Hammer. Aidan O'Brien's Dubawi newcomer Cambridge is much respected too, especially if the market speaks in her favour.

An interesting maiden. STAR HUNTER's third at Leopardstown was back in May but that now looks a really good effort.

RIBCHESTINA won her maiden over a sprint trip on testing ground at Navan and, afterwards, jockey Robbie Colgan was quoted saying that she is more a seven-furlong horse. This step up in trip should suit her. She was beaten into fourth on better ground at Naas, but the winner went on to be successful in the Albany at Royal Ascot, so her run has merit. Nemonte has plenty of ability, but ideally would want the ground to dry out to see her at her best. She does go to work off a light weight, though, with Conor Stone-Walsh's 7lb claim factored in. My Mate Alfie was placed on his first two starts and was produced close home by Colin Keane to win in Down Royal. There is plenty more to come from him, but he does have to give plenty of weight away and may not want the conditions too testing.

NEMONTE didn't enjoy the rub of the green when fourth in the Silver Flash Stakes at Leopardstown so gets the verdict at the chief expense of Down Royal scorer My Mate Alfie. Ribchestina must also enter calculations after her break.

My Mate Alfie faces no easy task conceding weight to two smart fillies, with RIBCHESTINA narrowly preferred to Nemonte.

This looks like a nice opportunity for NELDA to open her account. The 88-rated filly sets a good standard in this and is over a stone clear of the next highest according to the handicapper. She just failed by a neck to peg back Livio Milo in Galway last time and a similar effort should be enough to get her head in front now. There isn't a lot between a few of these on ratings and Hazalaya could be the one to give the selection most to do. The Siyouni filly ran okay last time at Killarney but had some stronger form previously and it's interesting that the cheekpieces are dispensed with now. Rebecca's Girl improved when finishing third at Navan last month and Colin Keane takes the ride again. She should get involved for the places.

This can go to NELDA, who has the best form on offer and only narrowly failed to open her account at Galway earlier this month. Muhaarar's Girl and Rebecca's Girl rate the principal dangers.

Unless the dogs are barking about newcomer Uncanny this looks best left to NELDA, whose only blip to date came in a Group race.

EMORCEE deserves to get his head in front and may prove the answer here. The Elzaam gelding ran really well at Galway last time when losing out late on to Malbay Madness over a mile. He may benefit for dropping back to 7f on this ground and has C&D form having just failed to get up here early last month. First Gentleman has been knocking on the door in maiden company and could be a danger here with blinkers fitted for the first time. Dragon Of Malta won well at Galway last time and has to be on the shortlist, despite a 9lb hike for that victory.

ELOQUENT ARTHUR's latest Galway third represents solid form so he gets the nod off the same mark. Colin Keane has got a good tune out of Dragon of Malta recently and even a 9 lb rise for his Galway win is unlikely to prevent another prominent showing. Longseoir and Emorcee are others to consider.

It was never in much doubt when DRAGON OF MALTA (nap) won comfortably at Galway and he can deal with this 9lb higher mark.

YAMALIA STAR came on nicely from her debut to chase home Beechwood at Killarney last month and ran another solid race when third to a smart-looking newcomer at the Galway festival. Jack Davison fits a visor for the first time and the daughter of Sea The Stars, a sister to Group 2 winner Endless Time, may be able to get her head in front on her fourth start. Fisherman's Beach kept on steadily to be third on debut at Limerick and is also tried in headgear. He has a little bit to find with the selection on a line through Limerick second Beechwood but is open to plenty of improvement. Jessica Harrington starts off Hardpoint, a half-brother to a pair of Listed winners over 1m4f and upwards, and the Camelot colt may be more of a contender than Dundalk fourth Great Cat Mau.

FISHERMAN'S BEACH has had his debut third franked by the runner-up winning since and can strike at the second time of asking. Jack Davison's Yamaila Star is next best on form, although if the market speaks for him it could be that the chief threat comes from the well-bred Jessie Harrington newcomer Hardpoint.

Not many to seriously consider. FISHERMAN'S BEACH shaped with a deal of promise at Limerick two months ago.

NOSTRA CASA overcame a two-year absence when beating good yardstick Grappa Nonino on stable debut at Sligo in April. Raised 10lb for that ready success, Paul Flynn's charge has run two solid races since including when third of 21 at the Curragh behind the aforementioned Grappa Nonino last time. The well-bred Dubawi gelding can win the race run in memory of his jockey's brother despite dropping back to a trip which may be shorter than ideal. The lightly-raced Narlita stayed on well when just failing to win over an extended nine furlongs at Gowran two runs back and may be suited by stepping up to this trip. Both Action Motion and Secret Sea won maiden hurdles earlier in the year and the latter has had a four-month break since finishing third on the Flat at Limerick when sent off a short-priced favourite. Action Motion came back from three months off to finish fifth over 1m3f at Killarney in July and may well strip fitter here.

HUMTAZA appeared to run out of petrol upped to 13f on her handicap debut at Down Royal last month and, back down in trip slightly here off a 3 lb lower mark, this lightly-raced filly could be the answer. Secret Rock is next on the list but he's certainly not the only potential threat, with the likes of Action Motion, Nostra Casa and L'Un Deux Trois all accorded respect, too.

After two fine runs in defeat on lively ground, NOSTRA CASA can get back on the scoresheet returning to soft ground

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.
