13:40 Thirsk Handicap (Class 5) 5f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (2.75/1 -69%) Storm Fox	2.75 2.75/1(-69%)	(7) Storm Fox 2.75/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 9/4, very good second of 8 in handicap at Redcar (5f, good) 11 days ago, edged out late. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Due to be 5 lb higher in future and obvious chance for yard that had a double here on Monday. 5lb well in after her good second at Redcar 11 days ago; cheekpieces now added; contender.
2	5 2nd (5) (2.25/1 +44%) Emeralds Pride	2.25 2.25/1(+44%)	(5) Emeralds Pride 2.25/1, Respectable second of 11 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm, 9/2) 9 days ago, staying on well. Won her maiden here (good form) and leading claims. Course winner; coped well with 5f when second at Beverley last week; one to consider.
3	6 3rd (6) (3.5/1 +30%) Cinque Verde	3.5 3.5/1(+30%)	(6) Cinque Verde 3.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, soft, 7/1) 41 days ago. Eyeshields now on. Could have a bigger effort in her. Has shown ability over 6f and this trip may help; usual tongue-tie absent; new headgear.
4	1 4th (1) (9/1 +10%) Jeans Maite	9 9/1(+10%)	(1) Jeans Maite 9/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Southwell in December. Off 92 days. On a tempting mark but might need this. Her turf win came over C&D and she's on a good mark; one to take seriously.
5th	2 5th (2) (5/1 -11%) Lady Lade	5 5/1(-11%)	(2) Lady Lade 5/1, 11/1, third of 8 in handicap at Carlisle (5f, good to soft) 7 days ago, not ideally placed and shaping encouragingly. This is easier and she's one to consider. Drops in class this time and should give her running; others appeal more.
6th	8 6th (8) (20/1 +20%) Your Spirit	20 20/1(+20%)	(8) Your Spirit 20/1, Modest maiden. Off 5 months/had wind op/first run since leaving David O'Meara when sixth of 7 in handicap at Redcar (5f, good to soft, 11/1) 18 days ago. Difficult to fancy. Ten-race maiden; perhaps sharper for a recent run but others have stronger claims.
7th	3 7th (3) (18/1 -64%) Ballintoy Harbour	18 18/1(-64%)	(3) Ballintoy Harbour 18/1, Won at Newcastle in September. Fifth of 6 in handicap (16/1) at Pontefract (5f, good) on return 14 days ago. More needed. Ended last season with a 5f AW win; low-key return two weeks ago but this is weaker.
8th	4 8th (4) (40/1 +20%) Azucena	40 40/1(+20%)	(4) Azucena 40/1, Won at Newcastle in October. 18/1, last of 9 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Something to find on form. On a winning mark but she needs to quickly bounce back from a lacklustre run last week.

LTO Selection:

CINQUE VERDE (fourth) had Storm Fox (sixth) behind at Doncaster by just over three lengths last time, when just fading in the closing stages, and he now has the addition of an eye-shield for the first time, which could eke out improvement to score. One to consider is Emeralds Pride, who filled the runner-up spot on her latest outing at Beverley and she should go well off the same mark.

EMERALDS PRIDE was back to her best when second at Beverley last week and is narrowly preferred to the well-bred Storm Fox, who is due to be 5 lb higher in the future after her fine Redcar run and sports first-time cheekpieces. Lady Lade is also considered.

Storm Fox is 5lb well in but JEANS MAITE (nap) could take some pegging back under suitable conditions.

13:50 Market Rasen Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 19f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (0.62/1 +48%) Jeepydoff Meel	0.62 0.62/1(+48%)	(2) Jeepydoff Meel 0.62/1, Fairly useful maiden hurdler. Left Gordon Elliott for £16,000 and was unlucky not to finish closer when second in 7-runner handicap at Cartmel (17.2f) last week. This return to further will suit and he sets a clear standard. Good second on last week's British debut; the one to aim at if repeating.
2	8 2nd (8) (2.75/1 +17%) Gaius	2.75 2.75/1(+17%)	(8) Gaius 2.75/1, Fairly useful Flat winner for Richard Hannon and progressed a bit further over hurdles when second in 8-runner novice at Aintree (16.5f) 3 weeks ago, albeit no match for winner. May do better still. Shade disappointing so far over hurdles but latest second brings him into it.
3	9 3rd (9) (7/1 -56%) Moonlit Warrior	7 7/1(-56%)	(9) Moonlit Warrior 7/1, Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 2m) who was back to form when a close fourth at Chelmsford on final start in 2022. Left Michael Bell (43,000 gns) subsequently and he's an interesting hurdling debutant. Three Flat wins at up to 1m6f; interesting on hurdle/stable debut after a break.
4	4 4th (4) (150/1 -50%) Mop's A Legend	150 150/1(-50%)	(4) Mop's A Legend 150/1, Down the field in 2 bumpers. Limited promise in two bumpers a year ago; hurdle debut.
5th	5 5th (5) (125/1 +0%) Smart Connection	125 125/1(+0%)	(5) Smart Connection 125/1, Fair at best on Flat for Alice Haynes but hasn't shown much spark for present yard, including in 4 attempts over hurdles. Three Flat wins but little so far over hurdles.
6th	10 6th (10) (9/1 -20%) Eikendal Lady	9 9/1(-20%)	(10) Eikendal Lady 9/1, Milan mare. Closely related to fairly useful hurdler Dubrovnik Harry, and half-sister to fairly useful hurdler Knockmaole Boy. Makes appeal on paper and worth a market check. 6yo racecourse debutante; half-sister to multiple Flat/hurdle winner.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (200/1 -60%) Gaughran	200 200/1(-60%)	(1) Gaughran 200/1, €22,000 3-y-o, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Peltwell and fair hurdler Mister Sweets. Failed to complete both starts in Irish points, pulled up latest (May 20). No promise in two Irish points last month.

LTO Selection:

Jeepydoff Meel forced a dead-heat for second in handicap company over 2m1f at Cartmel last month and a stiffer test of stamina can bring about further improvement for Philip Kirby's inmate. However, GAIUS finished a fair second over an extended 2m at Aintree most recently and the unexposed four-year-old just has the edge here, especially given he receives a weight-for-age allowance. It is difficult to discount St Patricks Bridge, though, who drops in trip having been tailed off over 2m6f at Ffos Las in April.

JEEPYDOFF MEEL sets a clear standard and, with a return to further sure to suit, he's difficult to oppose. Gaius is progressing steadily and rates the main threat, ahead of hurdling debutant Moonlit Warrior.

After a good handicap run on his British debut, JEEPYDOFF MEEL sets the standard.

13:50 Market Rasen Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 19f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:00 Brighton Handicap (Class 6) 6f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (8.5/1 -6%) Bonkersinabundance	8.5 8.5/1(-6%)	(2) Bonkersinabundance 8.5/1, Maiden who wasn't disgraced when eighth of 10 in handicap (9/1) at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) 24 days ago, pushed along 2f out but never on terms. Best effort at 2 yrs came at this venue and has first crack at sprinting now. On reduced mark but she's 0-7 and needs a transformation on this switch to sprinting.
2	7 2nd (7) (2/1 +11%) Havana Heat	2 2/1(+11%)	(7) Havana Heat 2/1, Remains a work-in-progress but displayed much-improved form on back of being gelded/12 weeks off when just touched off in handicap at Lingfield (6f) 6 days ago, having been well supported. No surprise to see him out quickly and worth considering. Major improvement when going close at Lingfield last week; big player off same mark.
3	4 3rd (4) (1.25/1 +29%) Zous Baby	1.25 1.25/1(+29%)	(4) Zous Baby 1.25/1, Lightly-raced maiden who stepped up plenty on his yard debut effort when runner-up in 7-runner Lingfield handicap (6f) 52 days ago, running on late and just failing. Didn't look entirely straightforward under pressure but not discounted with yard going well. 0-6 but he went close over 6f at Lingfield (AW) last time and is respected back on turf.
4	1 4th (1) (9/1 +25%) Senor Pockets	9 9/1(+25%)	(1) Senor Pockets 9/1, 5f nursery winner on AW last summer who wasn't disgraced when third on return at Kempton (6f) in April. Not in same form tackling soft ground when sixth of 9 in handicap at Bath (5.7f) since but return to this sounder surface may help. Has mixed record since his AW win last summer and others are more convincing.
5th	3 5th (3) (7.5/1 -7%) Wedgewood	7.5 7.5/1(-7%)	(3) Wedgewood 7.5/1, Plenty in hand when completing a 5f Wolverhampton hat-trick last month. May have found busy spell catching up with her when third in 4-runner Bath handicap (5f) thereafter but given time ahead of this and better showing not ruled out. Three AW wins this spring and her latest run at Bath may have come too soon; respected.
6th	5 6th (5) (22/1 -83%) Sajwaan	22 22/1(-83%)	(5) Sajwaan 22/1, 9/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 70 days ago, fading final 1f having been better placed than most. Needs a couple of these to falter. Edging down the weights but he's now 0-10 and has bit to prove back on turf.

LTO Selection:

HAVANA HEAT proved far more competitive when runner-up on his handicap debut at Lingfield last Thursday and he should take some stopping now turned out quickly before his 4lb higher mark kicks in. Zous Baby also arrives in good form from the all-weather and Clive Cox's gelding is feared most. Wedgewood has yet to prove as effective on the turf, nevertheless, the daughter of Outstrip still makes more appeal than the remainder.

Despite still looking a work-in-progress, HAVANA HEAT displayed much more than previously on back of being gelded/switched to handicaps when just touched off at Lingfield 8 days ago. He can come out on top with the likelihood of more to come operating from such a low base. Zous Baby and Wedgewood may well emerge as the chief dangers.

Zous Baby and HAVANA HEAT both went close on AW at Lingfield last time and slight preference is for Charlie Hills's gelding.

14:00 Brighton Handicap (Class 6) 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:10 Thirsk Seller (Class 5) 6f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (28/1 -75%) Princess Savannah	28 28/1(-75%)	(6) Princess Savannah 28/1, Modest maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 8 in handicap at this C&D (heavy, 22/1) 29 days ago. Bit to find on these terms. Reappearance excusable but has ground to make up on a couple of these on one 2yo run.
2	1 2nd (1) (1.25/1 +23%) Tothenines	1.25 1.25/1(+23%)	(1) Tothenines 1.25/1, Fairly useful gelding with poor strike rate. 9/1, last of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 27 days ago. A lot of his best runs have come over sprint trips and he could be hard to beat down in class. Infrequent winner; leading form claims on this major drop in class but there are risks too.
3	5 3rd (5) (3/1 +57%) One Of Our Own	3 3/1(+57%)	(5) One Of Our Own 3/1, Fair maiden. 10/1, creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Usually gives her running and not ruled out. Not matched her 2yo form so far this year; others appeal more for win purposes.
4	3 4th (3) (7/1 +0%) Insolente	7 7/1(+0%)	(3) Insolente 7/1, Modest filly. 8/1, didn't need to improve to win 10-runner seller at Beverley (5f, good) 24 days ago by head from Montelusa, showing a good attitude. Not an obvious type to follow up. Got up late to beat Montelusa at Beverley last month; should go well once again.
5th	2 5th (2) (14/1 -115%) Montelusa	14 14/1(-115%)	(2) Montelusa 14/1, Unreliable type. 4/5, respectable head second of 10 to Insolente in seller at Beverley (5f, good) 24 days ago, idling. First run for yard after leaving Tim Easterby. Work to do on these terms. Frustrating for T Easterby; claimed for £6,000 after latest 2nd (to Insolente); e-w claims.
6th	4 6th (4) (3.5/1 -17%) Saleet	3.5 3.5/1(-17%)	(4) Saleet 3.5/1, Fair filly, won novice at Carlisle last summer. Last of 14 in handicap (66/1) at York (7f, good to firm) 13 days ago. This is way easier and she ran well twice here last year. 6f winner at two; fair return but suffered a heavy defeat at York latest; drops in class.

LTO Selection:

Tothenines is the top-rated in this contest and has to be considered, but SALEET just shades the vote for the Tim Easterby stable. She wasn't disgraced over this trip on her penultimate run at Ripon when returning from a break and she is fancied to record her second career success. Montelusa is another to note having just been denied by a head in a seller at Beverley last time.

TOTHENINES should be suited by the return to sprinting and sets a good standard on the pick of his form so is hard to get away from dropped into a seller. Saleet and One of Our Own are dangerous.

Tothenines is dangerous dropped in class but SALEET may quickly leave a poor run at York behind her.

14:20 Market Rasen Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 21f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (11/1 +31%) Teescomponentsfly	11 11/1(+31%)	(8) Teescomponentsfly 11/1, 14f Flat winner but yet to score in this sphere. Looked rusty after 13 months off when ninth of 11 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (good to soft, 28/1) 28 days ago. Cheekpieces go on now and can take a step forward. Twice placed over C&D a year ago; well held on recent return; cheekpieces go on.
2	2 2nd (2) (11/1 -120%) Rory And Me	11 11/1(-120%)	(2) Rory And Me 11/1, Course winner who took a step back in the right direction in first-time cheekpieces after 6 weeks off when fourth of 6 in handicap hurdle at this C&D 18 days ago. One to consider. Goes best here and each-way hopes after close C&D fourth last month.
3	4 3rd (4) (2.25/1 +44%) Pileup	2.25 2.25/1(+44%)	(4) Pileup 2.25/1, Fair maiden hurdler who returns to this sphere having posted a respectable fourth of 8 in handicap chase here (21.4f, good to soft) 28 days ago. In the mix in a first-time visor. Second in February when last over hurdles; no real joy in chases since; visor on.
4	5 4th (5) (5.5/1 -10%) Summergrounds	5.5 5.5/1(-10%)	(5) Summergrounds 5.5/1, Fairly useful bumper form. Has hinted at promise over hurdles, off 3 months before fifth of 8 in novice at Newcastle (16.9f, good) 24 days ago. Up in trip for his handicap debut. Merits consideration. Good bumper form; yet to excel over hurdles but can do better on handicap debut.
5th	12 5th (12) (25/1 -56%) Celestial Park	25 25/1(-56%)	(12) Celestial Park 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 125/1, seventh of 11 in novice hurdle at Doncaster (20.8f, soft) 150 days ago. Should improve now going into handicaps so not dismissed. No promise in a bumper and three hurdle starts; hood on for handicap debut.
6th	6 6th (6) (16/1 -146%) Magna Moralia	16 16/1(-146%)	(6) Magna Moralia 16/1, Fair 12f Flat winner last spring who arrives in good nick over hurdles for his current yard, second of 6 in C&D handicap 18 days ago. Merits serious consideration nudged up 1 lb. Best effort for some time when close C&D second last month; entitled to be involved.
7th	1 7th (1) (14/1 +44%) Kopa Kilana	14 14/1(+44%)	(1) Kopa Kilana 14/1, Bumper winner but yet to score in this sphere and only sixth of 10 in novice hurdle (6/1) at Hexham (20.1f, good) 17 days ago. Makes handicap debut with more needed. Consistent in three runs for this yard but more probably needed on handicap debut.
8th	3 8th (3) (33/1 -32%) Bentham	33 33/1(-32%)	(3) Bentham 33/1, Winless since landing a Bellewstown maiden hurdle in July 2020 for Gavin Cromwell. Only seventh of 10 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (20.4f, good) 16 days ago on yard debut so others are preferred. Tongue strap back on. Hasn't won for nearly three years and no immediate promise on last month's stable debut.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (6.5/1 -30%) Misty Mani	6.5 6.5/1(-30%)	(7) Misty Mani 6.5/1, Rattled off a hat-trick over extended 18f here in September and has continued in good nick, fifth of 11 in handicap over C&D (good to soft) 28 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up once more. Two wins here last summer and might be about to return to her best.
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (7/1 +22%) Sindabella	7 7/1(+22%)	(10) Sindabella 7/1, Arrives below form, only seventh of 13 in handicap hurdle (11/1) at Taunton (23.9f, soft) 43 days ago. Cheekpieces back on but weighted to go well if breathing surgery yields improvement. Best effort for some time when close seventh at Taunton; wind surgery since.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (9/1 +25%) Dora De Janeiro	9 9/1(+25%)	(9) Dora De Janeiro 9/1, Twelve runs since her last win in 2021. 8/1, only tenth of 11 in handicap hurdle over C&D (good to soft) 28 days ago so her subsequent wind op needs to spark a resurgence. Not as good as she was; wind surgery since finishing well beaten over C&D last month.
11	11 \|PU\| (11) (33/1 +59%) Third Avenue	33 33/1(+59%)	(11) Third Avenue 33/1, Modest Flat winner. Only poor so far over hurdles and pulled up in novice hurdle at Hexham (23.3f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Lots to prove on handicap hurdle debut. No promise in novices; handicap debut with aids back on.

LTO Selection:

A switch to timber could see Pileup bounce back in a first-time visor but, although not discounted, MAGNA MORALIA can get the better of him here. He was only denied by three-quarters of a length over C&D last month and he is taken to benefit from a drop in class from that outing, albeit off a 1lb raised mark. The reopposing Rory And Me is 1lb better off with his rival this time around and could have more to offer, though.

MAGNA MORALIA is proving a consistent sort and can gain a deserved first success for his current yard on the back of a good C&D second. Summergrounds appeals as a likely improver now going into handicaps stepped up in trip so rates a big threat. Course winner Misty Mani and the handily-weighted Sindabella complete the shortlist in an open handicap.

Handicap debutant SUMMERGROUNDS can show significant improvement now tackling a more suitable trip.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (1.75/1 +71%) Bernard Spierpoint	1.75 1.75/1(+71%)	(1) Bernard Spierpoint 1.75/1, Modest gelding. Latest win at Wolverhampton in January. 16/1, creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 4 days ago. Visor back on. Shortlist material. All four wins have been at 5f on Tapeta and he's been well held in last three runs.
2	4 2nd (4) (3.5/1 +30%) Mr Fayez	3.5 3.5/1(+30%)	(4) Mr Fayez 3.5/1, Modest gelding. Remains a maiden after 24 Flat runs. Good second of 8 in handicap (13/2) at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) 10 days ago, running on. Every chance if backing that up. 0-24 but he went close at Lingfield (6f, AW) last time and is respected back on turf.
3	3 3rd (3) (2.5/1 -175%) Master Sully	2.5 2.5/1(-175%)	(3) Master Sully 2.5/1, Ran right up to best when second of 9 in handicap at this course (5.3f, good to firm) 17 days ago, just failing. Sound claims. Has record of 1-19 but he had a near miss here last time; major player back up in trip.
4	5 4th (5) (9/1 +10%) Mr Pc	9 9/1(+10%)	(5) Mr Pc 9/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022 and is struggling for form this year, only seventh of 9 in handicap at this course (5.3f, good to firm) 17 days ago, unable to sustain effort. His losing run is up to 15 and has finished down the field here in his last two starts.
5th	2 5th (2) (20/1 +50%) Bluebell Way	20 20/1(+50%)	(2) Bluebell Way 20/1, Modest filly who wasn't disgraced when sixth of 11 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, firm) 14 days ago. Sole win was in 2021 and she's not got involved in four runs for new yard this season.
6th	6 6th (6) (8/1 -60%) Viewfromthestars	8 8/1(-60%)	(6) Viewfromthestars 8/1, Modest gelding. Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. Seventh of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 8/1) 15 days ago. Bounce back called for. 19-race maiden who didn't fire at Chelmsford last time and others are more persuasive.

LTO Selection:

MASTER SULLY was just denied here over an extended 5f last month and, with a return to this distance likely to suit, a first success on the turf could be on cards now switched to a classified stakes contest. Mr Fayez ran one of his better races when runner-up on the Lingfield turf last Tuesday and has less question marks to answer than most, while Bernard Spierpoint also enters calculations.

BERNARD SPIERPOINT was sticking on well by the end on his return at Wolverhampton 4 days ago and is sure to be sharper for the run, so he's selected to record a first win on turf. Master Sully and Mr Fayez are feared most.

This can go to MASTER SULLY, who was back at the top of his game with a near miss in a C&D handicap two weeks ago.

1	5 1st (5) (0.8/1 +4%) Wind In Your Sails	0.8 0.8/1(+4%)	(5) Wind In Your Sails 0.8/1, Twice-raced maiden. Improved when second of 13 in maiden at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm, gambled-on 7/2) 18 days ago. Has more to offer and well up to winning a race like this. Promise in both runs this spring and her latest Windsor second was backed up by the clock.
2	2 2nd (2) (1.62/1 +1%) Mubhijah	1.62 1.62/1(+1%)	(2) Mubhijah 1.62/1, Fairly useful filly. Very good second of 11 in novice at Chelmsford City (8f, 5/2) 15 days ago, clear of rest. Has some strong form and could be hard to beat. Leading form claims but remains vulnerable to an improver; hood left off today.
3	3 3rd (3) (9/1 -20%) Navarre Express	9 9/1(-20%)	(3) Navarre Express 9/1, 105,000 gns foal, Roaring Lion filly. Dam, 9.5f-1½m winner, half-sister to very smart 6f/7f winner Kalahari Gold. Fifth of 9 in maiden (14/1) at Doncaster (8f, heavy) on debut in October, not knocked about. Off 7 months. Will improve. Finished a promising 5th in a strong Doncaster maiden in October (1m, soft); more to come.
4	4 4th (4) (50/1 -52%) Night Life	50 50/1(-52%)	(4) Night Life 50/1, Modest maiden. Off 6 months. First run for yard after leaving Richard Hannon. Hard to fancy in this company. Well held in two nurseries in November; sold 18,000gns since; needs a career best.
5th	1 5th (1) (20/1 +20%) Metric	20 20/1(+20%)	(1) Metric 20/1, Time Test filly. Sister to 1m-11f winner Gran Belga, closely related to useful winner up to 1m Electrelane. Dam winner up to 8.3f (2-y-o 6f winner). Up against some potentially useful fillies on debut. Useful pedigree but she has a fair standard to aim at on debut; betting to guide.

LTO Selection:

WIND IN YOUR SAILS took a step forward to only be denied by just under a length last time at Windsor, where she was just two and three quarter lengths clear of the third, so with normal improvement, she could prove very tough to beat. The main threat might be Mubhijah, who sets the standard with a mark of 79, while any market support for Metric should be noted.

WIND IN YOUR SAILS improved when second at Windsor, clocking a good timefigure in the process, and looks the way to go with more progress anticipated. Mubhijah boasts some decent form and seems sure to go well again. Navarre Express has more to offer also.

Navarre Express ran well in a hot race on debut but WIND IN YOUR SAILS has shown clear winning potential in her two starts.

One to consider. Hat-trick of Fontwell wins; this is much tougher but he's only edging up the handicap.
2	10 2nd (10) (6/1 +50%) Sacre Coeur	6 6/1(+50%)	(10) Sacre Coeur 6/1, Fairly useful hurdle/chase winner in France and gained her first British success when scoring in handicap hurdle at Haydock in December. Back on track to some extent when sixth at Ludlow 3 months ago and has since left Jonjo O'Neill. Stable debut after wind surgery; won off 1lb lower last December; market a help.
3	3 3rd (3) (18/1 -50%) Impulsive One	18 18/1(-50%)	(3) Impulsive One 18/1, Resumed winning ways at Huntingdon (15.8f) in November and notched his second success of last campaign at Wetherby in February. Back on track when fourth at Aintree (final start for Nicky Henderson) 3 weeks ago but others look better treated. Two wins last season; sold out of Nicky Henderson's for £40,000 recently.
4	5 4th (5) (4.5/1 +10%) Luttrell Lad	4.5 4.5/1(+10%)	(5) Luttrell Lad 4.5/1, Got back on the up for new yard when staying on from rear to finish a creditable eighth in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham and backed it up with a respectable fifth at Plumpton a couple of months ago. Upped in trip with tongue tie applied and seems likely to feature. Fine Cheltenham effort two starts ago; not so good latest; up in trip and tongue-strap on.
5th	1 5th (1) (7/1 +7%) Hang In There	7 7/1(+7%)	(1) Hang In There 7/1, Smart hurdler who has and excellent strike rate over fences and returned to this sphere with a respectable second at Aintree. Mark is potentially lenient and he merits plenty of respect. Good return to hurdling when second at Aintree but might find this tough off top weight.
6th	11 6th (11) (12/1 +52%) Runswick Bay	12 12/1(+52%)	(11) Runswick Bay 12/1, Back on track, returned to smaller obstacles, when second of 7 in handicap (14/1) at Fontwell (19.2f, good to firm) on penultimate start but failed to back it up (quick turnaround) at Kempton. Likely to struggle from out of the weights. Second to Mullinaree on return to hurdling but well held since.
7th	6 7th (6) (40/1 +0%) Celestial Horizon	40 40/1(+0%)	(6) Celestial Horizon 40/1, Doubled hurdles tally in fine style at Kilbeggan (17f) in May 2022 but not in anything like the same form when pulled up next 3 starts for Joseph O'Brien last summer. Hasn't done much better for current yard. Not much for this yard so far but mark on the slide and good ground suits.
8th	7 8th (7) (28/1 -100%) Didtheyleaveuoutto	28 28/1(-100%)	(7) Didtheyleaveuoutto 28/1, Useful sort who reached the frame for the second year running in the Silver Trophy at Chepstow (19.5f) in October. Below par in this sphere since, though, failing to beat a rival at Hexham 17 days ago. Hard to make a case for unless the market speaks in his favour. Better when second on the Flat two starts ago but last back over hurdles latest.
8	8 \|F\| (8) (2.5/1 -11%) King Alexander	2.5 2.5/1(-11%)	(8) King Alexander 2.5/1, Won bumper on Rules debut in September and has added to a promising start in this sphere with a double recently, readily landing a novice aat Ffos Las on latest outing. Open to more improvement now back handicapping, so looks the one to beat. Progressive performer; well up in class but could take it in his stride.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (11/1 -120%) Earlofthecotswolds	11 11/1(-120%)	(2) Earlofthecotswolds 11/1, Looked resurgent when completing a double over hurdles in November. Ridden too aggressively on the Flat a couple of months ago but should bounce back after a break. First hurdle start for 18 months but smart Flat form in between.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (18/1 -13%) The Wounded Knee	18 18/1(-13%)	(4) The Wounded Knee 18/1, Placed both starts in points and dual winner over hurdles. Seemed amiss on final outing for Patrick Neville, however, so bit to prove debuting for new yard after 3 months off. Not at best in two outings for previous yard and bit to prove on stable debut.

LTO Selection:

A fairly competitive event with several intriguing contenders lining up, including Grade 2 novice chase winner Hang In There, who finished a creditable second on his return to hurdling at Aintree last month. However, KING ALEXANDER returns to handicap company following a facile win over 2m4f at Ffos Las last time out. The five-year-old shaped as though he could be tough to peg bag in deeper waters, despite being 7lb above his last winning mark. Mullinaree landed a hat-trick at Fontwell most recently and adds further spice to the race now rated 2lb higher.

KING ALEXANDER arrives on a hat-trick and promises to do better still now switched back to handicapping, so he's preferred to Hang In There, who is well treated on chasing form. Luttrell Lad should benefit from the longer trip, so he seems likely to give another good account.

The unexposed and progressive KING ALEXANDER (nap) makes most appeal in this good handicap.

1	5 1st (5) (28/1 -211%) Princess Chizara	28 28/1(-211%)	(5) Princess Chizara 28/1, Foaled April 19. 65,000 gns 2-y-o, Cotai Glory filly. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner out of winning half-sister to smart winner up to 7f Roi de Vitesse. Yard 0-11 with their juvenile runners on turf in last 5 seasons. This looks a tough starting point and yard is 0-28 with 2yos in recent years.
2	3 2nd (3) (0.22/1 +45%) Mashadi	0.22 0.22/1(+45%)	(3) Mashadi 0.22/1, Son of Blue Point who has found only one too good all 3 starts to date, latterly in 10-runner Bath novice (5f) 14 days ago, hanging left last ½f and not quicken only close home. Shown more than enough to land a race of this nature and obvious claims. Runner-up in all of his three starts and he sets a useful standard; should be hard to beat.
3	2 3rd (2) (14/1 -56%) Commander Crouch	14 14/1(-56%)	(2) Commander Crouch 14/1, Foaled April 20. €60,000 foal, 45,000 gns yearling, Mehmas colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart winner up to 1m Disegno and useful winner up to 2m King's Vow. Dam 1¼m winner who stayed 1½m. One to note on debut. Stablemate of Mashadi and interesting to see how he figures in market on debut.
4	1 4th (1) (5/1 +23%) Budding Poet	5 5/1(+23%)	(1) Budding Poet 5/1, Foaled April 25. Calyx colt. Dam 1¼m-11f winner. In form yard's first juvenile runner of the campaign and the market should prove a useful guide here. Has good standard to aim at on debut and he looks a longer-term prospect on pedigree.

LTO Selection:

MASHADI has finished runner-up on all three appearances to date and the Richard Hannon-trained colt looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to gain a breakthrough success. Mammy should have learned plenty from her opening bid at Newmarket last month and an improved performance looks possible, but newcomer Budding Poet possesses a nice blend of speed and stamina in his pedigree and the son of Calyx may emerge as the biggest threat.

MASHADI has shown more than enough in 3 starts to date to think a race of this nature is within reach and he can put his vast experience edge over his rivals to good use and make it fourth time lucky. His stablemate, Commander Crouch, makes appeal on paper and may emerge as the chief threat.

This looks a good opportunity for MASHADI, who has finished runner-up in all of his three starts and sets a useful standard.

2	1 2nd (1) (4/1 +0%) Just Janet	4 4/1(+0%)	(1) Just Janet 4/1, Dual winner last year. Good second of 9 in handicap (11/1) at Leicester (6f, good) 10 days ago, just taking a little too long to knuckle down. Firm player now fitted with cheekpieces. Two wins last year; improvement when 2nd at Leicester latest; new cheekpieces could help.
3	6 3rd (6) (8/1 +33%) Trabajo Detecho	8 8/1(+33%)	(6) Trabajo Detecho 8/1, Latest win at Newcastle in March. Fifth of 8 in handicap (9/2) at Newcastle (6f) 35 days ago. Looking a bit awkward but weighted to have a say again. Front-runner; two AW wins this year; good 3rd at Doncaster in April; fast ground a ?.
4	9 4th (9) (11/1 -22%) Granny B	11 11/1(-22%)	(9) Granny B 11/1, Modest maiden. Bits of her 2-y-o form read well and she returns on a tempting mark. Interesting. Didn't progress in nurseries last season; needs a career best back from an 8-month absence.
5th	7 5th (7) (7.5/1 -36%) Talamanca	7.5 7.5/1(-36%)	(7) Talamanca 7.5/1, Three wins from 11 runs last year. Fifth of 8 in handicap (8/1) at Chelmsford City (6f) 69 days ago. Nudged down 2 lb and not dismissed back on turf after a break. Three wins (6f, good to firm) last year; return to these conditions could spark a revival.
6th	10 6th (10) (80/1 -21%) Lupset Flossy Pop	80 80/1(-21%)	(10) Lupset Flossy Pop 80/1, Won at Newcastle in October. No show in 3 runs this year, last of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 14/1) 17 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time. Back to a winning mark but she's been quiet so far this year; now blinkered.
7th	12 7th (12) (12/1 +0%) Mrs Trump	12 12/1(+0%)	(12) Mrs Trump 12/1, 25/1, good fourth of 13 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago, not ideally placed. Could have a race in her. Good 4th at Ripon latest; still has low mileage and not discounted.
8th	2 8th (2) (40/1 -186%) Mount King	40 40/1(-186%)	(2) Mount King 40/1, Fourth of 5 in maiden (5/1) at Redcar (8f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Down in trip. Tongue strap on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Must improve. Down in trip and tried in a tongue-tie for his handicap debut; could take a step forward.
9th	8 9th (8) (4/1 +50%) Hardy Angel	4 4/1(+50%)	(8) Hardy Angel 4/1, Modest maiden. Tenth of 13 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm, 11/4) 19 days ago, not much room. Everything went wrong when well backed at Ripon last month; too soon to write him off.
10th	4 10th (4) (6.5/1 -44%) Belsito	6.5 6.5/1(-44%)	(4) Belsito 6.5/1, Redcar winner on final 2-y-o start. Respectable third of 7 in handicap (15/8) at Redcar (5f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Return to 6f will suit and he's considered. Two best runs have come over 5f at Redcar; fair mark if his stamina holds out.
11th	5 11th (5) (9/1 -13%) We'renotreallyhere	9 9/1(-13%)	(5) We'renotreallyhere 9/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year, latest over C&D in May. Below form third of 9 in handicap (15/2) at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Could bounce back. Two wins on heavy this year, including C&D; well held in 3rd back on fast ground last week.
12th	11 12th (11) (66/1 +0%) Monte Forte	66 66/1(+0%)	(11) Monte Forte 66/1, Maiden, hasn't progressed. 22/1, 11 lengths seventh of 9 to We'renotreallyhere in handicap at Catterick (6f, heavy) on return 58 days ago. Hooded for 1st time. Hasn't progressed from his debut and needs the addition of a hood to have a major effect.

LTO Selection:

JUST JANET returned to form when finishing second at Leicester last Tuesday and she looks the one to be with now turned out quickly off the same mark. Belsito could have some improvement in him on this step up to 6f and Kevin Ryan's three-year-old isn't taken lightly. C&D winner We'renotreallyhere has yet to post a bad performance at this track and he shouldn't be far away either.

GRANNY B could have a race in her and she returns on a tempting mark so could be worth chancing. Just Janet makes obvious appeal now fitted with cheekpieces after a good run at Leicester. Belsito is another to consider.

The drop to 6f and switch to handicaps could spark improvement from MOUNT KING and he gets the tentative vote.

Just 3 lb higher now and is one for the shortlist. 3-8 over hurdles; beat subsequent winner at Warwick last month off 3lb lower.

Just 2 lb higher, back over the smaller obstacles, and must enter calculations, In fine form in chases and chances if transferring that back over hurdles.
3	2 3rd (2) (14/1 -17%) Lock's Corner	14 14/1(-17%)	(2) Lock's Corner 14/1, Ran out a decisive winner at Catterick and Ayr (both at around 2½m) at the end of last year. Appears to have gone off the boil more recently, though, producing a laboured effort at Wincanton last time. Out of form in recent starts; good mark but cheekpieces are absent.
4	5 4th (5) (8.5/1 +29%) Yes No Maybe So	8.5 8.5/1(+29%)	(5) Yes No Maybe So 8.5/1, Won 4 handicap hurdles in 2020 and returned to form when runner-up at Ffos Las in January. However, rather gone backwards since and makes limited appeal. Wears first-time tongue strap. Well below form in recent starts; visor no help latest; tongue-strap now tried.
5th	7 5th (7) (10/1 -122%) Let Me Be	10 10/1(-122%)	(7) Let Me Be 10/1, Prolific winner on the Flat for Keith Dalgleish in 2021 and off the mark over hurdles for new yard in maiden at this course (20.6f) a year ago. Back to that sort of form when close third here latest and warrants respect. First outing for nine months when close third here 18 days ago; considered after that.
6th	1 6th (1) (11/1 -10%) Shang Tang	11 11/1(-10%)	(1) Shang Tang 11/1, Useful hurdler who made winning start over fences in a 21f Newton Abbot novice before respectable fourth at Aintree in May of last year. Lightly raced and below that level since, though, and bit to prove back over hurdles here. Tongue strap on first time. Not seen much in last two years and needs a tongue-strap to give him some help.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (100/1 +20%) Wee Willie Nail	100 100/1(+20%)	(6) Wee Willie Nail 100/1, Won Gowran maiden on final start for Gordon Elliott in September but has failed to complete in either start for new connections. Best watched on return from 6 months off. Pulled up in both starts for this yard; back from six months off.

LTO Selection:

Betty Baloo has found plenty of improvement since being stepped up in distance and completed a double over fences here last month. She isn't taken lightly now reverted to the smaller obstacles, but GENTLEMAN VALLEY had a subsequent winner behind in second when holding on to triumph at Warwick last time and Ben Pauling's gelding may have been let in lightly off only 3lb higher. Let Me Be is unexposed over this longer trip and also enters calculations.

GENTLEMAN VALLEY hasn't been harshly treated for last month's Warwick success and may be able to follow up. Betty Baloo has been in top form over fences and is much respected back over timber, whilst Better Getalong can also make his presence felt.

Thriving in chases here this spring, BETTY BALOO can make a successful switch back to hurdles.

One win from 28 Flat runs but posted excellent second of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 4 days ago. A reproduction of that form could see him resume winning ways. Has been knocking on the door in last three runs including on turf at Windsor; big player.
2	2 2nd (2) (6.5/1 +28%) Global Style	6.5 6.5/1(+28%)	(2) Global Style 6.5/1, Modest gelding. Two wins from 55 Flat runs. Seventh of 13 in handicap (16/1) at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) 4 days ago.

3	3 3rd (3) (33/1 -106%) Harbour Project	33 33/1(-106%)	(3) Harbour Project 33/1, Modest gelding. One win from 23 Flat runs. Blinkered for 1st time, seventh of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 14/1) 25 days ago. Won at Wolverhampton last April but he's been generally disappointing since.
4	6 4th (6) (10/1 -100%) No Diggity	10 10/1(-100%)	(6) No Diggity 10/1, Modest gelding who ran one of his better races when fifth of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Up in trip. Caught the eye at Yarmouth last week and he could be dangerous on his step up to this trip.
5th	7 5th (7) (8.5/1 -143%) Persian Wolf	8.5 8.5/1(-143%)	(7) Persian Wolf 8.5/1, Modest gelding. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Good second of 8 in handicap (11/2) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 31 days ago, no match for winner. Bang there with a repeat. Dual AW winner but he's had just four turf runs and the latest was a heavy defeat over C&D.
6th	1 6th (1) (12/1 +70%) By Pass	12 12/1(+70%)	(1) By Pass 12/1, Modest maiden hurdler, looked none too keen last time. Of a similar level on the Flat, respectable on last run in this sphere. Blinkers back on. 0-16 under both codes and was tailed off in a maiden hurdle last time; opposable.
7th	8 7th (8) (20/1 -82%) Reel Power	20 20/1(-82%)	(8) Reel Power 20/1, Sixth of 8 in handicap (18/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 74 days ago, not clear run. Blinkered on for 1st time. Improvement required. Still lightly raced but he needs to raise his game back on turf; blinkers added.
8th	4 8th (4) (16/1 +0%) Mofridge	16 16/1(+0%)	(4) Mofridge 16/1, German maiden winner but has made little impact for his current yard. Down the field in all five runs for new yard this year including at 1m and 1m2f last twice.
9th	5 9th (5) (25/1 -108%) Moveonup	25 25/1(-108%)	(5) Moveonup 25/1, Poor gelding. Course winner. Tenth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 40/1) 15 days ago, left poorly placed. Significantly up in trip. Hood on 1st time. No impact since Chelmsford win (6f) in January and has plenty to prove at this new trip.

LTO Selection:

Runner-up on his last two starts, SUN FESTIVAL deserves a change in luck and he can get that on this occasion with conditions in his favour. The son of Toronado has not won since last April but he has the services of the in-form Neil Callan to call upon this time around, which may be enough to give him the edge. He can see off the likes of No Diggity and Persian Wolf, who has been in consistent form of late without getting his head in front.

SUN FESTIVAL has found only one too good on his last 2 starts so he appeals as the most solid option in a weak event. Persian Wolf is considered the main threat ahead of No Diggity, who moves up in trip.

The leading contender is SUN FESTIVAL (nap), who has been knocking on the door recently including at Windsor on his penultimate run.

Unpenalised and can go well again for all he faces competition for the lead from Laakhof among others. Ready front-running win at Beverley last week; unpenalised; obvious claims.
8th	3 8th (3) (18/1 +10%) Dream Deal	18 18/1(+10%)	(3) Dream Deal 18/1, Below form fourth of 8 in handicap (17/2) at Catterick (5f, good to firm) on return 15 days ago, never nearer. Down 2 lb and could find a race. 0-8 but promise last season and sharper for last month's return; this looks tough though.
9th	8 9th (8) (100/1 -150%) Koropick	100 100/1(-150%)	(8) Koropick 100/1, Course winner. Two wins from 43 Flat runs (latest in the 2017 Chipchase). Hard to fancy back from 6 months off. The odd good run last year but best watched back from a six-month absence.

LTO Selection:

LAAKHOF escapes a penalty after completing a double in an apprentice handicap at Musselburgh on Saturday and Declan Carroll's gelding should take some stopping now turned out quickly before his 9lb higher mark kicks in. Imperial Khan himself is 5lb ahead of the handicapper after a recent success at Beverley and looks an obvious threat. Spanish Angel arrives in good heart and can chase the duo home.

LAAKHOF has made all in good style the last twice and can remain unbeaten for Declan Carroll with a third success. Imperial Khan is also unpenalised for his Beverley win and should be bang in the firing line again. Sugar Baby and Spanish Angel are a couple of others to consider.

Laakhof and Imperial Khan are well ahead of the handicapper but JAMES WATT takes a big drop in class and looks worth chancing.

4	2 4th (2) (4/1 -60%) Casa Tall	4 4/1(-60%)	(2) Casa Tall 4/1, Three-time winner over fences but below his best in 2022/23. However, in first-time cheekpieces he took a step back in right direction at Perth (2m) in April, despite not managing to beat a rival. Can get back to winning ways dropped in grade with yard going well. No success since 2021 and needs a revival; Harry Cobden booked.
5th	7 5th (7) (6.5/1 +0%) High Noon	6.5 6.5/1(+0%)	(7) High Noon 6.5/1, Won twice here (including over C&D) back in early-2021/22, but below that level in a light campaign last season. However, after 12 months off he showed that he retains his ability when third of 5 at this C&D last time. Could get involved having dropped further in the weights. Not as good as he was but likely to run well and cheekpieces are back on.
6th	3 6th (3) (22/1 -57%) Edmond Dantes	22 22/1(-57%)	(3) Edmond Dantes 22/1, Made a successful debut over fences at this C&D in February last year and had been holding his form well until running poorly at Newcastle on Boxing Day. Fared no better following a break at Hexham last month, so others preferred on first run for yard after leaving Ruth Jefferson. Tricky customer; sold for £6,000 since latest outing; stable debut.
7th	1 7th (1) (8/1 -7%) Fierami	8 8/1(-7%)	(1) Fierami 8/1, Fair winner at 21f over hurdles but failed to match that level sent chasing last year, pulled up on his final 2 outings. Has a bit to prove after 5 months off on his first run for yard after leaving Gordon Elliott. Out of sorts in Ireland but second in a point on British debut; can be considered.
8th	8 8th (8) (5/1 +38%) Eurowork	5 5/1(+38%)	(8) Eurowork 5/1, Off the mark in handicap chase at Exeter (19.2f) in December 2021, but well beaten over fences on his first 3 starts last season. Again finished down the field switched to hurdles last time, so first-time blinkers need to spark a revival returned to chasing. Exeter winner 18 months ago but little in four outings since; blinkers fitted.

LTO Selection:

CASA TALL comes with risks attached having not won since November in 2021. Nevertheless, the nine-year-old now drops in grade and he may have too much class for his rivals. Dindin failed to fire at Ffos Las last time, but David Pipe's gelding can't be ruled out judged on previous efforts and he's feared most. Finalshot has been given some respite from the handicapper on this reappearance and the veteran could also have a say.

CASA TALL took a step back in the right direction in first-time cheekpieces at Perth last time, unable to sustain his effort, so he can build on that run to return to winning ways dropped in grade. The main danger could be dual course winner High Noon, who shaped well after 12 months off back at this C&D 18 days ago, with Dindin completing the shortlist.

Well down in class, CASA TALL can win for the first time since 2021.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (0.4/1 -21%) Glenister	0.4 0.4/1(-21%)	(1) Glenister 0.4/1, Thriving on back of wind op/9 months off, landing back-to-back Lingfield handicaps at up to 12f in recent days. 10 lb penalty to deal with on turf debut but highly likely there's further progress in him for shrewd yard. Two AW wins within the last week; open to further progress; makes turf debut.
2	2 2nd (2) (3.2/1 +36%) Eton Blue	3.2 3.2/1(+36%)	(2) Eton Blue 3.2/1, C&D winner who made a winning return to action at Windsor (10f) last spring prior to pair of good placed efforts. Exploits mixed thereafter so hopes pinned on a break perking him up. Yard in good form. C&D winner on sole attempt in Class 6; goes well fresh; interesting contender.
3	5 3rd (5) (33/1 +18%) It's How We Roll	33 33/1(+18%)	(5) It's How We Roll 33/1, 14/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (good) 38 days ago, missing break and making little impression. Likely best watched at present. Has a doubt over current form judged on two efforts for new yard.
4	4 4th (4) (20/1 -25%) Junoesque	20 20/1(-25%)	(4) Junoesque 20/1, 8-time course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Eleventh of 14 in handicap at Kempton (12f, 28/1) 16 days ago. Tongue tie added to cheekpieces now. 8-24 at Brighton; likely player if she returns to top form with tongue-tie added.
5th	3 5th (3) (12/1 -20%) Largo Bay	12 12/1(-20%)	(3) Largo Bay 12/1, Enjoyed a productive 2022, winning 4 times (including this race from 2 lb lower). Strictly operating below best in recent starts, fourth in 7-runner C&D handicap 17 days ago. However, no surprise to see him thereabouts. 2-3 at Brighton, including a win in this race last year; good chance if back to best.

LTO Selection:

It is difficult to look past GLENISTER, who like his stable has been in top form of late with a pair of comfortable victories at Lingfield. Being a son of Gleneagles, the switch to turf should hold no fears and he is readily preferred to Largo Bay, who may need a revival in form but does go very well around here. The well-handicapped Eton Blue has gone well fresh before and is also of interest.

GLENISTER has took his form up a notch recently, landing back-to-back Lingfield handicaps, and a 10 lb penalty may not be enough to anchor Sir Mark Prescott's 4-y-o. Eton Blue, a winner on his return last term, and last year's winner Largo Bay can give the selection most to think about.

Glenister has to be feared but ETON BLUE is an interesting alternative and Largo Bay is another to consider.

1	5 1st (5) (3/1 +33%) Robert Johnson	3 3/1(+33%)	(5) Robert Johnson 3/1, Improved back on the level this term, winning Catterick and C&D handicaps under softer conditions. Shaped as if still in form when fourth of 7 in handicap at Catterick (15.9f, good, 5/2) 25 days ago. Player back in trip. In good form this spring, including a C&D win, but head carriage wasn't endearing latest.
2	6 2nd (6) (11/1 -38%) Just Hiss	11 11/1(-38%)	(6) Just Hiss 11/1, Caught the eye when seventh of 8 in handicap at Redcar (10f, good, 11/2) 11 days ago, finishing with running left after meeting repeated trouble. One to consider. Veteran who is back to his last winning mark; one to consider back up in trip.
3	1 3rd (1) (0.62/1 +23%) Knightswood	0.62 0.62/1(+23%)	(1) Knightswood 0.62/1, Won 5-runner handicap (7/4) at Ripon (12f, good to firm) 8 days ago, showing the best turn of foot in a slowly-run race back up in trip. Could face a similar scenario here and good chance under a penalty. Gained first handicap success at Ripon last week; only 3lb higher; leading contender.
4	2 4th (2) (14/1 -100%) Brasca	14 14/1(-100%)	(2) Brasca 14/1, Four-time winner for Ralph Beckett earlier in career. Third of 5 in handicap at Haydock (14f, good, 66/1) 15 days ago. Remains below his best but his much-reduced mark reflects that. Not found his best form for current yard and risky despite his reduced mark.
5th	3 5th (3) (50/1 +24%) Wontgetfooledagen	50 50/1(+24%)	(3) Wontgetfooledagen 50/1, Won in Sweden last summer (fair form at best over hurdles in Scandinavia). Down the field in staying handicap hurdle at Catterick in February and betting may guide now starting out for new trainer. Multiple winner in Sweden; two poor runs in February; new yard; lots to prove.
6th	4 6th (4) (12/1 +0%) Franco Grasso	12 12/1(+0%)	(4) Franco Grasso 12/1, Successful twice at Yarmouth (including in May). Well beaten in handicap at Doncaster (11.9f, good to firm, 9/1) 20 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Game Yarmouth win last month on 2nd start for this yard; well beaten latest; could revive.

LTO Selection:

KNIGHTSWOOD bounced back to form with an easy win at Ripon last week and a 5lb penalty may not be enough to prevent him going in again for his in-form connections. An unlucky loser when not getting a clear run over one furlong out at Catterick last time out, Robert Johnson looks to be his main danger, having won both starts previous to that. Franco Grasso has claims on his penultimate success at Yarmouth.

KNIGHTSWOOD won back-to-back races this time last year and can repeat the feat under a penalty for last week's Ripon success. Just Hiss caught the eye at Redcar and is feared most ahead of Robert Johnson.

This looks a good opportunity for KNIGHTSWOOD to follow up last week's Ripon success.

1	4 1st (4) (3.5/1 +42%) Moore Clouds	3.5 3.5/1(+42%)	(4) Moore Clouds 3.5/1, Took well to fences originally filling the runner-up spot on her first couple out outings. Took a heavy fall at Catterick next time and run best excused at Sedgefield (17f, heavy) 3 months ago (went off too hard). Back on a sounder surface and fancied to be in the mix. Claims on her two seconds last winter but below that form on latest start in March.
2	3 2nd (3) (2.5/1 +17%) Honneur De Sivola	2.5 2.5/1(+17%)	(3) Honneur De Sivola 2.5/1, Made frame both completed starts in Irish points and having shown promise on his third outing in maiden hurdles, offered more again sent chasing for handicap debut when runner-up at Huntingdon (16.5f, good) 11 days ago. Should have more to offer. Good second on recent chasing debut; goes up 3lb in future; plenty going for him.
3	1 3rd (1) (3.33/1 -67%) Copper Fox	3.33 3.33/1(-67%)	(1) Copper Fox 3.33/1, Won a mediocre Uttoxeter maiden hurdle last June but took a step forward when runner-up to a subsequent winner at Newcastle in December. Matched that form sent chasing after 5 months off when second at Stratford last month and is entitled to do better. Cheekpieces back on. Decent chasing debut last month, after a break; strong claims in this.
4	6 4th (6) (16/1 -60%) King Of Quinta	16 16/1(-60%)	(6) King Of Quinta 16/1, Minor promise in bumpers and over hurdles but showed some aptitude for chasing after 5 months off before ultimately shaping as if amiss (subsequently found to have an irregular heartbeat). That issue tempers enthusiasm somewhat. Well beaten over hurdles and was pulled up on chasing debut in April.
5th	2 5th (2) (14/1 +0%) Royle Steel	14 14/1(+0%)	(2) Royle Steel 14/1, Fair 2m winner. Back on track when third at Catterick in February but has beaten only 3 home in his 3 outings since. Cheekpieces applied for this switch to chasing. Out of form over hurdles lately; chasing debut in first-time cheekpieces.
5	5 \|F\| (5) (2.75/1 +17%) Rocambolas	2.75 2.75/1(+17%)	(5) Rocambolas 2.75/1, Winning pointer who made a successful start for his new yard in 2m Uttoxeter handicap hurdle in April. Folded tamely at Southwell next time and similar comments when throwing away what seemed certain victory back over fences at Worcester (16.5f, good) 2 weeks ago. Can't be trusted. Second on recent chasing debut when looked sure to win; good enough if putting ii in.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (40/1 +39%) Secrets De Famille	40 40/1(+39%)	(7) Secrets De Famille 40/1, Only poor form over hurdles in Ireland and little to get excited about in 4 runs for this yard, latest on chase debut after wind surgery 9 days ago. Can only be watched. Tailed off on chasing debut last week, after wind surgery.

LTO Selection:

Both Copper Fox and HONNEUR DE SIVOLA hit the woodwork on their chasing debuts last month, but marginal preference is for the latter. Clare Hobson's charge is officially 3lb well-in and the six-year-old is expected to find the required improvement to go one better. Royle Steel has struggled recently, but, with cheekpieces applied for the first time, it would not be a surprise to see him take a step forward now switched to fences.

COPPER FOX matched his hurdling form at the first attempt in this sphere when runner-up at Stratford last month and, with improvement on the cards, Donald McCain's charge is fancied to go a place better with the headgear back on. Moore Clouds is proving expensive to follow but she can give the selection most to think about back on a sounder surface, with Honneur de Sivola rounding off the shortlist.

After a good chasing debut 11 days ago, HONNEUR DE SIVOLA is given the nod.

2	2 2nd (2) (0.25/1 +86%) Girl Inthe Picture		0.25 0.25/1(+86%)																															(2) Girl Inthe Picture 0.25/1, C&D winner. 16/5, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm) 2 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Fourth at Nottingham on Wednesday; scored over C&D last August; not dismissed.

LTO Selection:

Rivas Rob Roy struck over C&D last month by a neck and he has been raised 3lb for that display, which is likely to keep him in contention. However, preference is for SPIRIT WARNING, who shaped well on his return to action over 7f here and could take a step forward from that run going back up in trip. Roscioli is another to note as he takes a drop in grade.

GIRL INTHE PICTURE is a previous C&D winner who arrives in decent heart for a stable going well, so she's the percentage call. Rivas Rob Roy is feared most ahead of Spirit Warning.

In-form RIVAS ROB ROY is taken to follow up last month's C&D success. Spirit Warning is second choice.

LTO Selection:

STALINGRAD may still be a maiden through 22 starts but his most recent effort when second at Catterick was highly encouraging and, if breaking on terms this time around, he should be able to go one better. Fiscal Policy is somewhat unlucky not to be arriving on a hat-trick and can give him the most to think about, along with Mumcat. Completing the shortlist are the likes of Dream Together, Kath's Toyboy and Show Compassion.

A tricky finale with FISCAL POLICY taken to follow up his Chelmsford win. Stalingrad, Show Compassion and Dream Together make the shortlist.

A low-grade finale. Stalingrad is interesting, but the suggestion is DREAM TOGETHER, who may well be rejuvenated by wind surgery.

LTO Selection:

ASCENDENT showed a likeable attitude when leading home eight rivals in a barrier trial at Naas last month and she could be up to winning this on her official debut. Owned and bred by Gigginstown House Stud, the Invincible Spirit bay is closely related to some smart French performers. The Caribbean is given second preference, despite failing to make an impact on his first start at York. A half-brother to 2013 Phoenix Stakes winner Sudirman, he should come on plenty for that debut effort. Duplantis and Imperial Magic represent Ger Lyons and Jessica Harrington respectively and they both warrant respect, while the twice-raced Prince X J is another that with claims.

It will look significant if IMPERIAL MAGIC is strong in the betting. Indeed, the Showcasing colt fetched €200,000 when resold as a yearling and an entry in the Group 2 Railway Stakes suggests that he's be showing the right signs at home. The Caribbean can be expected to build on his debut effort at York and he is feared most ahead of newcomers Duplantis and Ascendent.

There's every reason to believe that THE CARIBBEAN can leave the form of his York debut behind and progress to better things.

1	1 1st (1) (3.6/1 -31%) Belvedere Blast	3.6 3.6/1(-31%)	(1) Belvedere Blast 3.6/1, Patchy profile but looked rejuvenated when scoring over C&D (good) in first-time blinkers last week. Likely to make a bold bid to follow up under a penalty, provided the headgear works equally well second time round. C&D win (good) eight days ago in first-time blinkers when making all after 151-day absence.
2	7 2nd (7) (3.33/1 +17%) Vision Of Hope	3.33 3.33/1(+17%)	(7) Vision Of Hope 3.33/1, Won 2 of her 5 starts on the Flat for George Boughey and opened hurdles account at the fifth at Huntingdon (15.8f, good) recently. Was 3 lb 'wrong' that day but she's 3 lb 'well-in' under a penalty this time and, with Harry Cobden again aboard, she's a big player. Tends to race freely but won from the back at Huntingdon 11 days ago under Harry Cobden.
3	4 3rd (4) (5.5/1 +66%) Gone In Sixty	5.5 5.5/1(+66%)	(4) Gone In Sixty 5.5/1, Showed plenty when runner-up in a Southwell bumper on debut in May. Yet to match that level of form in this sphere, though, and improvement will be needed if he's to emerge on top. 0-7 over hurdles and his form dipped on last two outings; edging down the weights.
4	3 4th (3) (12/1 +0%) Game Beaaa	12 12/1(+0%)	(3) Game Beaaa 12/1, Placed in handicaps at Newcastle and Doncaster for this yard last November but her efforts since returning from a break/wind op have left much to be desired. 0-9; looked better than final position suggests on latest run (weakened quickly on run-in).
5th	2 5th (2) (11/1 +39%) Embolden	11 11/1(+39%)	(2) Embolden 11/1, Winner of a 2m Plumpton handicap over Easter and bounced back from a below-par display over 23.3f on penultimate start when 5¾ lengths third of 9 to Vision of Hope at Huntingdon (15.8f, good) 11 days ago. 7 lb better off with that rival now. Only 1lb higher than when winning at Plumpton in April; two creditable placings since.
6th	6 6th (6) (7/1 -75%) Prospect House	7 7/1(-75%)	(6) Prospect House 7/1, Bettered previous form on second run following a wind op when second in a 6-runner C&D handicap (good) last month. Pulled nicely clear of the rest that day and each-way claims off the same mark if able to build on that. Latest was easily his most competitive effort, when second of six in C&D handicap (good).
7th	9 7th (9) (4/1 +0%) Clean Getaway	4 4/1(+0%)	(9) Clean Getaway 4/1, Winless following 12 attempts over hurdles but will surely buck that trend before long judged on recent second in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Cartmel (17.2f, good). Due to go up 3 lb for that and he's high on the shortlist. 2nd in first-time cheekpieces at Cartmel latest, making most; major player on that.
8th	10 8th (10) (150/1 -20%) Naasik	150 150/1(-20%)	(10) Naasik 150/1, Remains a maiden after 33 runs and has shown next to nothing in 2 starts since returning from a lengthy absence. Visor refitted. Well down the weights but he's a longstanding maiden and out of the handicap.
9th	5 9th (5) (12/1 -50%) Belle Na Bann	12 12/1(-50%)	(5) Belle Na Bann 12/1, Won handicaps at Fontwell/Newton Abbot for Neil Mulholland last summer and, save for a tame effort when clearly not 100% here in March, she has performed with credit for new yard this year. Still, others appeal more from a win point of view. Mostly respectable efforts of late and thereabouts if in peak form.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (40/1 +0%) Strong Team	40 40/1(+0%)	(8) Strong Team 40/1, Solid second off 2 lb higher at Newcastle in November but failed to fire returned to this sphere following a break at the same course last month. 2nd at Newcastle last November is easily the best of his last eight attempts over jumps.

LTO Selection:

Belvedere Blast powered clear from the front when recording a nine-length success over C&D last week and though he demands respect under a penalty, another penalised runner, VISION OF HOPE, edges the vote. The daughter of Mastercraftsman remains unexposed in this sphere and should have more to offer following her recent Huntingdon victory, although Embolden, who finished behind her in third that day, could close the gap on revised terms.

Three of these are ahead of the handicapper, namely VISION OF HOPE, Clean Getaway and Belvedere Blast, and it's probably best to concentrate on that trio. The vote goes to the first-named, who didn't look quite so headstrong as before when landing a pretty competitive contest at Huntingdon and she again has the assistance of Harry Cobden. Both Clean Getaway and Belvedere Blast responded well to new headgear last week and the former is just about feared most.

There is plenty of commendable recent form in this field but VISION OF HOPE may be able to repeat the dose after winning at Huntingdon.

1	3 1st (3) (0.73/1 +34%) Book Of Tales	0.73 0.73/1(+34%)	(3) Book Of Tales 0.73/1, 13/2, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Redcar (14f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Shortlisted. Three thirds and a fourth from his four handicaps, the latest over 1m6f; first headgear.
2	4 2nd (4) (12/1 -9%) Grand Duchess Olga	12 12/1(-9%)	(4) Grand Duchess Olga 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 25/1, only fifth of 7 in handicap at this course (11.6f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Up in trip. Blinkers are reached for now. Upped to 11.6f here (good) for handicap debut but failed to show much; now blinkered.
3	7 3rd (7) (5.5/1 +54%) Vitani	5.5 5.5/1(+54%)	(7) Vitani 5.5/1, Seventh of 9 in handicap at Redcar (14f, good to soft, 50/1) 18 days ago. Others have achieved more. Has a little ability but lacks solid form claims; below form over 1m6f last time.
4	2 4th (2) (7/1 +13%) Star	7 7/1(+13%)	(2) Star 7/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 9 in handicap at Redcar (14f, good to soft, 18/1) 18 days ago, slowly away. Blinkers on 1st time. Again achieved little when back for 1m6f handicap on good 18 days ago; headgear enlisted.
5th	5 5th (5) (5.5/1 -214%) Queen Of Steel	5.5 5.5/1(-214%)	(5) Queen Of Steel 5.5/1, 33/1, good second of 7 in handicap at Brighton (11.9f, good) 38 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up off a 2 lb lower mark. Brighton 2nd (1m4f) latest; on that show she should stay and may have a bit more to offer.
6th	6 6th (6) (50/1 +50%) Tiz Likely	50 50/1(+50%)	(6) Tiz Likely 50/1, Last of 14 in handicap at this course (10.2f, good to firm, 125/1) 23 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Hard to make a case for. Has failed to beat a rival in her three handicaps (1m4f, 1m and 1m2f).

LTO Selection:

QUEEN OF STEEL kept on for second over 1m4f at Brighton when making her handicap debut last month. She remains unexposed and, with plenty of improvement possible, looks to have the edge off a 2lb lower mark. Book Of Tales is likely to enter the reckoning in first-time blinkers following a string of consistent efforts in recent weeks, while Star is capable of better following his return effort at Redcar.

Brighton runner-up QUEEN OF STEEL appeals as the one to beat having been dropped 2 lb in the weights, with Book of Tales looking the best of the rest.

The late gains made by QUEEN OF STEEL over 1m4f at Brighton last time put her top of the list, ahead of Book Of Tales.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (0.91/1 -60%) Marsh Benham	0.91 0.91/1(-60%)	(3) Marsh Benham 0.91/1, Produced a career best to resume winning ways in 11-runner handicap (7/2) at Chepstow (8.1f, good to firm) 24 days ago, driven out. 3 lb rise tolerable and fancied to follow up. Has the ability to take a serious hand provided he copes with drop back to 7f.
2	5 2nd (5) (18/1 +36%) Lucky Mascot	18 18/1(+36%)	(5) Lucky Mascot 18/1, Ran poorly in a first-time tongue strap when tenth of 11 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, good to firm, 100/1) 23 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Maiden; best effort for current yard when fourth here on penultimate start.
3	1 3rd (1) (2.5/1 +17%) Gnat Alley	2.5 2.5/1(+17%)	(1) Gnat Alley 2.5/1, Ninth of 11 in handicap (17/2) at Chelmsford City (7f). Off 7 months but won on return from 2 lb higher last season so interesting. Mixed results for current stable but now drops in class off a handy mark; possibilities.
4	6 4th (6) (7.5/1 +38%) Queen Sarabi	7.5 7.5/1(+38%)	(6) Queen Sarabi 7.5/1, C&D winner but came home tenth of 12 in handicap at this course (8f, good to firm, 16/1) 17 days ago. Bit to prove. Modest mare but she's suited by Brighton and sole success came over C&D.
5th	4 5th (4) (6.5/1 +28%) Split Elevens	6.5 6.5/1(+28%)	(4) Split Elevens 6.5/1, Unreliable individual who followed a below-par effort with an even worse one when last of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 44 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Sole turf win came at this venue; having Brighton form is a plus.

LTO Selection:

The recent Chepstow winner MARSH BENHAM should have no problem handling this slight step down in trip and the four-year-old is hard to oppose off a 3lb higher mark. Queen Sarabi disappointed last time but is a player based on her previous placed effort over C&D. The rest all have questions to answer but Lucky Mascot is arguably the pick of them.

MARSH BENHAM resumed winning ways with a career best at Chepstow last month and a 3 lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent him from following up if turning up in similar form. Gnat Alley is capable fresh having won on her reappearance last season from a 2 lb higher mark, so she looks most interesting of the opposition.

A chance is taken on GNAT ALLEY back from an absence. Marsh Benham is second choice.

1	3 1st (3) (3/1 +10%) Trais Fluors	3 3/1(+10%)	(3) Trais Fluors 3/1, One win from 34 Flat runs, that success gained back in 2021. 20/1, good third of 10 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 4 days ago, not ideally placed, and big player here off the same mark. Competitive in both races since the cheekpieces went on; upgrade his latest effort..
2	4 2nd (4) (7/1 -75%) Semser	7 7/1(-75%)	(4) Semser 7/1, 2/1, won 6-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 29 days ago, driven out. That represented a step back in the right direction and only nudged up 2 lb but it remains to be seen if he'll be in the same form now returned to turf. 2lb higher than for AW win latest; showed plenty of early promise on good/faster ground..
3	1 3rd (1) (11/1 +21%) English Spirit	11 11/1(+21%)	(1) English Spirit 11/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. 5/1, last of 9 in handicap there (9.5f) 38 days ago, though, and he's 0-6 on turf. Running well on the AW until last time and he has comparable form on the turf..
4	7 4th (7) (3.5/1 +22%) Nonsuch Lad	3.5 3.5/1(+22%)	(7) Nonsuch Lad 3.5/1, 9/1, good third of 12 in handicap at Sandown (10f, good) 15 days ago, having to pick way through. Can make his presence felt off the same mark here. Progressive last year and from well off the pace did well to place at Sandown latest..
5th	2 5th (2) (4.5/1 +10%) Oh Herberts Reign	4.5 4.5/1(+10%)	(2) Oh Herberts Reign 4.5/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. 10/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Ripon (8f, heavy) 41 days ago. Down another 2 lb and dangerous to discount now eased into 0-70 company for the first time. Has dropped to a dangerous mark and he's accustomed to stronger races than this..
6th	9 6th (9) (10/1 -54%) Naasma	10 10/1(-54%)	(9) Naasma 10/1, 18/1, good second of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 27 days ago. Likely to pick up a race before long, albeit she may again find one or two too good here. Did well to push the winner close after getting outpaced early at Lingfield (1m2f)..
7th	6 7th (6) (7/1 +0%) Darvel	7 7/1(+0%)	(6) Darvel 7/1, Respectable third of 8 in handicap at Brighton (8f, good to firm, 6/1) 17 days ago. Blinkers back on and he's not without each-way hope. Weakened late on over Brighton's 1m last time and has further to go now..
8th	5 8th (5) (20/1 +29%) Pistoletto	20 20/1(+29%)	(5) Pistoletto 20/1, Twenty-one runs since last win in 2022. Sixth of 8 in handicap (13/2) at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Back up in trip and cheekpieces refitted. Others preferred. On a lengthy losing run despite a reduced mark, varying headgear and trips..
9th	8 9th (8) (40/1 -21%) Aryaah	40 40/1(-21%)	(8) Aryaah 40/1, Last of 7 in handicap (20/1) at Brighton (11.9f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Back down in trip and looks set for another struggle. Close up at Brighton before again appearing to find 1m4f a stretch last time..

LTO Selection:

Even though TRAIS FLUORS hasn't scored in two years, the son of Dansili has been progressive this season and kept on for third at Windsor over a mile earlier this month. The nine-year-old can get the better of the unexposed Naasma, who reverts to turf off 2lb higher than when second at Lingfield recently. Nonsuch Lad was denied a clear run over 1m 2f at Sandown last month and makes plenty of appeal dropping in trip.

TRAIS FLUORS and Nonsuch Lad both caught the eye when finishing third on their latest starts and, while the latter is not passed over at all lightly, Jack Channon's charge looks ready to finally capitalise on the handicapper's mercy having shaped as though this intermediate trip would be probably be ideal when doing his best work at the finish over a mile at Windsor on Monday. Oh Herberts Reign has dipped to an attractive mark and is also accorded respect.

Most of these have chances but NONSUCH LAD did well to hit the frame at Sandown last time given his mid-race position.

Info	Form	Odds
1	2 1st (2) (7/1 -100%) Tango Flare	7 7/1(-100%)	(2) Tango Flare 7/1, Lightly-raced winner. 1 win from 1 run this year. Career best when winning 9-runner maiden (13/2) at Cork (6f, good) 23 days ago, readily. Likely to improve. Won a 6f Cork maiden last month; is entitled to have improved and can be competitive.
2	5 2nd (5) (1.62/1 +7%) Queen Maedbh	1.62 1.62/1(+7%)	(5) Queen Maedbh 1.62/1, Lightly-raced winner. Very good third of 15 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, good, 9/1) 12 days ago. Shortlist material. Ran a cracker in a 6f Curragh handicap last time; a repeat of that will see her run well.
3	3 3rd (3) (7/1 -17%) My Eyes Adore You	7 7/1(-17%)	(3) My Eyes Adore You 7/1, Fairly useful filly. 10½ lengths fifth of 8 to Art Power in Greenlands Stakes (50/1) at the Curragh (6f, good) 13 days ago. Decent sort has been below par on both runs this year and has to return to best.
4	4 4th (4) (2.75/1 +39%) Ostraka	2.75 2.75/1(+39%)	(4) Ostraka 2.75/1, Once-raced winner. 50/1, won 13-runner maiden at the Curragh (6f, good to soft) on debut 14 days ago. Stable in good form. Open to progress. Won a Curragh 6f maiden on debut two weeks ago; that form has a solid look; major player.
5th	1 5th (1) (3.5/1 +0%) Gordon Bennett	3.5 3.5/1(+0%)	(1) Gordon Bennett 3.5/1, Useful gelding. 4/1, career best when winning 16-runner handicap at the Curragh (5f, good to soft), suited by way race developed. Off 8 months. Improved last year; can go well fresh and has placed form over C&D, so has to be respected.
6th	6 6th (6) (200/1 +0%) Vikki Wall	200 200/1(+0%)	(6) Vikki Wall 200/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 66/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, twelfth of 18 in maiden at Navan (5f, soft) 27 days ago. Fine run on debut at Dundalk last November but hasn't been near that level since.

LTO Selection:

On ratings, My Eyes Adore You is the one to beat. The Profitable filly has just one win to her name from 13 starts, but has run some fine races in defeat, finishing second in Listed company at the Curragh last October. She was no match for Art Power in a Group 2 on her most recent start, but still finished a respectable fifth and had some smart types in behind. Gordon Bennett really turned a corner in the second half of last season, winning three of his four starts from July to September. Returning to action now, he could very well go in again. For a selection, it might be worth siding with OSTRAKA. Closely related to sprinting legend Osterhase, she impressed when winning on debut at the Curragh and it'll be interesting to see if she can back up that performance. Tango Flare and Queen Maedbh also warrant respect, while Vikki Wall looks out of her depth.

QUEEN MAEDBH is the pick at the weights and she makes plenty of appeal having finished a solid third in a competitive handicap at the Curragh recently. Next on the list is Ostraka, who readily belied her 50/1 SP when landing a maiden at the aforementioned course a fortnight ago and she is open to improvement. Gordon Bennett enjoyed a productive 2022 campaign and will also be a threat if ready to roll back from an 8-month break.

With progress likely from her striking winning debut at the Curragh two weeks ago, OSTRAKA can win again in this stronger company.

1	6 1st (6) (16/1 -60%) More Than Likely	16 16/1(-60%)	(6) More Than Likely 16/1, C&D winner. 14/1, only tenth of 11 to Savalas in handicap at this C&D (firm) 14 days ago so more is required.

Up another 5 lb but he has to be taken seriously in his hat-trick bid.
4	2 4th (2) (2.75/1 +39%) Yimou	2.75 2.75/1(+39%)	(2) Yimou 2.75/1, Thirty four runs since last win in 2020. 9/2, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Can give another good account.
5th	4 5th (4) (4.5/1 +18%) Savalas	4.5 4.5/1(+18%)	(4) Savalas 4.5/1, 9/2, improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner handicap at this C&D (firm) 14 days ago. Needs considering despite taking a 6 lb rise.
6th	5 6th (5) (11/1 -69%) Fair And Square	11 11/1(-69%)	(5) Fair And Square 11/1, Bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap (11/2) at this C&D (firm) 14 days ago. Remains a maiden after 36 Flat runs.
7th	7 7th (7) (12/1 -50%) Okaidi	12 12/1(-50%)	(7) Okaidi 12/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Blinkered for 1st time, only twelfth of 13 to Symbol of Hope in handicap (7/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 23 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward.

LTO Selection:

SYMBOL OF HOPE landed a double by a length and a half over course and distance last time out and is the one to beat here. He defied a 4lb rise from his penultimate success on that occasion and a further 5lb increase looks unlikely to hold him back. The reopposing Fair And Square is feared most, while Savalas makes some appeal off 6lb higher than when winning here in May.

SYMBOL OF HOPE has resumed in great order and is fancied to defy a 5 lb rise for his recent C&D success and make it 3-3 here in 2023. Savalas also arrives on the back of a C&D victory and is feared most, with Yimou looking set for minor honours once more.

Recent course winners SAVALAS and Symbol Of Hope head the shortlist. Yimou is third choice.

Point winner; progressive over hurdles and made all latest; the one to beat on chase debut.
6th	5 6th (5) (6.5/1 +19%) The Priests Leap	6.5 6.5/1(+19%)	(5) The Priests Leap 6.5/1, Fair chaser. 40/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, first run since leaving William Durkan when last of 16 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (20f, good) 25 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Not one to write off. Showed he retained ability with 4th in Oct'; really struggled since, inc' yard bow latest.
7th	3 7th (3) (200/1 -33%) Landue	200 200/1(-33%)	(3) Landue 200/1, Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles. Fairly useful winner at 13f on flat. 100/1, fifteenth of 16 in novice hurdle at Limerick (16f, soft). Off 7 months. Makes chase debut. 5-time Flat winner; struggled in 5 hurdle starts; hard to fancy on chase bow; off 229.

LTO Selection:

TOP SPEED was a debut point-to-point winner in 2021 and has useful recent form. He won in a first-time tongue-tie, which is now left off, at Down Royal and being in good form and proven over this distance and on a sound ground, should take beating with race conditions suiting, given he is rated 116 over hurdles. Desert Friend is similarly rated and while capable, is more exposed than the selection and was also well beaten on his recent chase debut. Dual hurdle winner Bonarc ran well enough at Ballinrobe on her reappearance and while she receives plenty weight under her 5lb claimer, might bump into one or two too strong. The Priests Leap was capable in the past but blinkers and cheekpieces have failed to work on recent runs although it is somewhat encouraging connections are persevering. Takarengo, third in the 2020 English Cesarewitch, isn't a natural jumper and was well beaten at Kilbeggan.

TOP SPEED upped his game to score in a novice hurdle at Down Royal and, as an easy winner of his only start in points, he appeals as the type to make a better chaser, so he's preferred to The Priests Leap, who is having just his second outing for Gordon Elliott. Bonarc is another one to consider.

2	4 2nd (4) (5.5/1 +39%) Bloomwithgrace	5.5 5.5/1(+39%)	(4) Bloomwithgrace 5.5/1, Lightly-raced filly. 14/1, good fourth of 13 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good) 22 days ago, well drawn. Looks competitive on form. Others in here may have greater potential but she has each-way claims on form..
3	1 3rd (1) (12/1 +33%) Sunglasses	12 12/1(+33%)	(1) Sunglasses 12/1, 11/2, won 10-runner maiden at Chelmsford City (8f) on debut 9 months, overcoming pace bias. Form of that race isn't working out particularly well but she's open to improvement. As a 4yo winner she has to concede plenty of weight but still commands respect..
4	8 4th (8) (6.5/1 +28%) Peaceful Story	6.5 6.5/1(+28%)	(8) Peaceful Story 6.5/1, Once-raced filly. Fifth of 12 in minor event at Kempton (7f, 28/1) on sole 2-y-o start. Likely to leave that form well behind in time. Showed enough last year to believe she has a future but it could be in handicaps..
5th	2 5th (2) (4.5/1 -35%) Naomi Lapaglia	4.5 4.5/1(-35%)	(2) Naomi Lapaglia 4.5/1, Promising sort. 22¼ lengths seventeenth of 20 to Mawj in 1000 Guineas at Newmarket (8f, soft, 80/1) 33 days ago. Hood on 1st time and very much of interest with her sights lowered significantly here. Debut winner who struggled in the 1,000 Guineas; hard to assess; now hooded..
6th	10 6th (10) (6/1 +57%) Sea Claret	6 6/1(+57%)	(10) Sea Claret 6/1, Once-raced filly. Eleventh of 16 in maiden (10/1) at Newmarket (8f, good to soft) on debut 51 days ago. Will be more street-wise this time. Didn't handle the Dip well when unplaced on Newmarket debut (1m); capable of much better.
7th	3 7th (3) (40/1 +50%) Apollo's Angel	40 40/1(+50%)	(3) Apollo's Angel 40/1, Twice-raced filly. 28/1, fourth of 8 in minor event at Newcastle (8f) 32 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps in due course. Will need to step up considerably on her turf debut if she's to trouble the best of these..
8th	5 8th (5) (33/1 -50%) Fleur De Mer	33 33/1(-50%)	(5) Fleur De Mer 33/1, Twice-raced filly. Third of 6 in maiden (2/1) at Ayr (7.2f, good to firm) 36 days ago. Another for whom handicaps may provide greater opportunities. Respectable return at Ayr but the form is nothing special (the winner now 1-9)..
9th	9 9th (9) (14/1 +58%) Platinum Jubilee	14 14/1(+58%)	(9) Platinum Jubilee 14/1, Once-raced filly. Seventh of 11 in maiden (33/1) at Newmarket (7f, good) on debut 22 days ago. Big step forward will be needed if she's to play a part in the finish here. Showed something at Newmarket 21 days ago but others have offered more.
10th	11 10th (11) (80/1 +0%) Tangled In Time	80 80/1(+0%)	(11) Tangled In Time 80/1, Twice-raced filly. First run since leaving Richard Hannon when sixth of 12 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 40/1) 17 days ago, not knocked about. Likely to do better in time. Couple of sixths so far and very much up against it in a race of this nature..
11th	6 11th (6) (150/1 +25%) Louaizeh	150 150/1(+25%)	(6) Louaizeh 150/1, Once-raced filly. Last of 11 in minor event at Chelmsford City (8f, 25/1) on debut 15 days ago. Difficult ask. Always behind after starting slowly when 25-1 for a 1m novice on the AW..

LTO Selection:

NEVER ENDING didn't do herself any favours when slowly away at Newmarket on her latest start, but the way she finished that race was eye-catching and, with improvement expected, she may be able to go one better on this occasion. Naomi Lapaglia should be more at home in this grade, having been outclassed in the 1000 Guineas, while Sunglasses looks to build on a taking debut success at Chelmsford last August. Bloomwithgrace and Platinum Jubilee cannot be ruled out either.

Having built on her 2-y-o debut promise when runner-up in a Newmarket maiden in April, NEVER ENDING looks the one to beat. The filly she chased home that day has since gone close in listed company, while the third won next time, so the form looks pretty decent. Naomi Lapaglia was biting off more than she could chew in the 1000 Guineas but she remains with potential and is of strong interest back in calmer waters. Bloomwithgrace is best of the rest.

A tricky draw asks a question of her but NEVER ENDING has clear potential after running so well in a good maiden at Newmarket.

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (2.25/1 +36%) Warrior Brave	2.25 2.25/1(+36%)	(1) Warrior Brave 2.25/1, 1 win from 2 runs this year. Improved on recent efforts to win 14-runner handicap at Listowel (6.3f, good to soft, 9/2) 6 days ago, easily. Won comfortably at Listowel last week; has been raised 10lb for that but has a good draw.
2	3 2nd (3) (9/1 +44%) Master Matt	9 9/1(+44%)	(3) Master Matt 9/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 33/1, fifteenth of 16 in handicap at Navan (5f, soft) 27 days ago. Stable in good form. Tongue strap back on. Has good chance on pick of form. Well below his best in two starts for this yard; too many questions at present.
3	2 3rd (2) (6.5/1 +7%) Dream Today	6.5 6.5/1(+7%)	(2) Dream Today 6.5/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Dundalk in February. Eleventh of 15 in handicap (14/1) at the Curragh (6f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Others more persuasive. Won this in 2021; below form at the Curragh since but can run well if bouncing back.
4	7 4th (7) (2/1 -14%) Secret Road	2 2/1(-14%)	(7) Secret Road 2/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. 7/2, career best when winning 18-runner handicap at this C&D (good) 8 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Big player, despite going up 15 lb. Won a C&D handicap by 7l in a lower grade last time and raised 15lb; a player up in class.
5th	6 5th (6) (18/1 -64%) Hypernova	18 18/1(-64%)	(6) Hypernova 18/1, C&D winner. 13/2, below form sixth of 12 in claimer at Tipperary (7.5f, good) 10 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time. Regressive at Dundalk and was poor in a Tipperary claimer last time; blinkers tried.
6th	5 6th (5) (11/1 -57%) Half Nutz	11 11/1(-57%)	(5) Half Nutz 11/1, Bit below form 7¾ lengths seventh of 14 to Warrior Brave in handicap (11/2) at Listowel (6.3f, good to soft) 6 days ago, running on. Can make presence felt. Below form at Listowel last week; seems as if he needs further nowadays.
7th	4 7th (4) (16/1 +20%) Ampeson	16 16/1(+20%)	(4) Ampeson 16/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Dundalk in December. Eleventh of 12 in handicap (9/1) at Dundalk (7f) 77 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. C&D winner has dropped down to a reasonable mark lately and is considered.
8th	8 8th (8) (10/1 +9%) Baalbec Beauty	10 10/1(+9%)	(8) Baalbec Beauty 10/1, Good third of 10 in maiden at this C&D (good, 12/1) 8 days ago. Must improve. Third over C&D on recent reappearance; raised 6lb but is still 2lb out of the handicap.

LTO Selection:

WARRIOR BRAVE and Secret Road appear the ones to focus on here, with both impressing within the last eight days. The Ross O'Sullivan-trained former landed a gamble at Listowel on Saturday and went up 10lb as a result. After finishing eighth at Naas on his penultimate start, Dylan Browne McMonagle advised O'Sullivan to run the selection on a track with a bend, to 'keep his mind occupied.' That theory was proved correct at Listowel and with another bend to negotiate here, he may just follow up. Secret Road was slow about getting to the start over the course and distance last week, but certainly wasn't wasting anytime coming home, as he blitzed his rivals by seven lengths. Up 15lb for that win, he still looks well treated on a mark of 73 and will be well fancied to go in again. Fourth and fifth 12 months ago, Dream Today and Ampeson warrant respect, while Hypernova might be able to make an impact in first-time blinkers.

The majority of these arrive here out of form but SECRET ROAD and Warrior Brave, easy winners over C&D and at Listowel respectively last week, are glaring exceptions. The former has inevitably been hammered by the handicapper for his 7-length success but he is appealing all the same. Master Matt would be a threat if back to something like his best, while an on-song Dream Today would also be in with a real shout.

Preference is for last week's Listowel winner WARRIOR BRAVE (nap) as he is still 10lb below his career-high mark.

1	2 1st (2) (1.5/1 +20%) Lil Guff	1.5 1.5/1(+20%)	(2) Lil Guff 1.5/1, Not seen to best effect when third of 7 to Glamorous Breeze in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm, 6/1) 18 days ago, short of room entering final 1f. Well in the mix eased 1 lb.
2	1 2nd (1) (1.38/1 -15%) Glamorous Breeze	1.38 1.38/1(-15%)	(1) Glamorous Breeze 1.38/1, Got back on the up with win in 7-runner handicap (11/2) at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Up 4 lb but can go well again.
3	3 3rd (3) (3/1 +0%) Amazonian Dream	3 3/1(+0%)	(3) Amazonian Dream 3/1, Course winner but he's yet to fire in two runs this term, fourteenth of 18 in handicap (18/1) at Newbury (6f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Weighted to go well if getting back on track.

LTO Selection:

The vote goes to GLAMOROUS BREEZE, who finished well to score over this trip at Windsor last month. She is fancied to confirm form with Lil Guff, who was third on that occasion, but Richard Kingscote's mount can give the daughter of Cable Bay plenty to think about now 5lb better off. Amazonian Dream has yet to show his best in two starts this season and will need to find some improvement.

A case can be made for all three but GLAMOROUS BREEZE got right back on track with a fluent success at Windsor so edges the vote from Lil Guff who came in third that day and now enjoys a 5 lb swing in the weights. Amazonian Dream is weighted to make his mark too if back on song.

The very small field is an issue but the consistent GLAMOROUS BREEZE looks the most likely winner by some way.

Beaten a nose over this trip on comeback after meeting trouble; up 2lb; the one to beat.
2	8 2nd (8) (8.5/1 +39%) Let Her Loose	8.5 8.5/1(+39%)	(8) Let Her Loose 8.5/1, 66/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW). Off 149 days. Fairly treated if back to form after 5-month absence. Won three for Richard Fahey last year including on the AW; yet to fire for present yard.

4	3 4th (3) (3.5/1 -5%) Captain Haddock	3.5 3.5/1(-5%)	(3) Captain Haddock 3.5/1, Well below best at Hamilton latest but had posted good second on return at Doncaster (11.9f) previously and must enter calculations. Cheekpieces back on. Chance on his best form (runner-up on soft in April) but ideally suited by softer ground.
5th	6 5th (6) (12/1 -118%) Leopolds Rock	12 12/1(-118%)	(6) Leopolds Rock 12/1, 11/2, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Perth (16.2f, good to soft) 43 days ago. Fair on the Flat, poor on last Flat outing. Others more appealing. Below best on AW in 2023 but better effort back over jumps last time; each-way chance.
6th	2 6th (2) (22/1 +12%) Heart Of Soul	22 22/1(+12%)	(2) Heart Of Soul 22/1, Seventh of 8 in handicap at Chester (15.9f, good, 25/1) 13 days ago. Back down in trip. Work to do. Ex-Ian Williams; two wins last year but mainly disappointing since.
7th	4 7th (4) (14/1 -27%) Aegis Power	14 14/1(-27%)	(4) Aegis Power 14/1, Fairly-useful performer for Andrew Balding who shaped as if needing the run on return/yard debut at Musselburgh (16f) 35 days ago. Feasibly treated and could be a player in first-time cheekpieces. Ex-Andrew Balding; 0-10 but has place claims on best efforts; cheekpieces on.
8th	7 8th (7) (80/1 -142%) Lumberjack	80 80/1(-142%)	(7) Lumberjack 80/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 66/1, first run since leaving Tom Clover when last of 6 in minor event at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 60 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time. Improvement required on handicap debut. Ex-Tom Clover; tailed off only run at 1m4f (pulled hard); tried blinkered on h'cap debut.

LTO Selection:

UNPLUGGED appeared to be an unlucky loser when runner-up at Pontefract on his return to action a fortnight ago and the seven-year-old is capable of going one better, despite being 2lb higher on this occasion. Aegis Power is likely to appreciate both a drop in trip and the application of first-time cheekpieces, while others to note include Captain Haddock and Restorer.

This can go to UNPLUGGED, who was unlucky not to score (denied clear run when going well) on his return at Pontefract a fortnight ago and remains on a decent mark. Aegis Power and Captain Haddock may provide the chief threat.

With doubts about most of his rivals this can go to UNPLUGGED (nap), who has conditions to suit and ran a sound race on reappearance.

Merits respect. More promise in his last couple of chase starts and may come on for last month's return.
2	1 2nd (1) (3/1 -60%) Top Line Tommy	3 3/1(-60%)	(1) Top Line Tommy 3/1, One win from 25 NH runs. Career best when winning 13-runner novice chase (13/2) at Tramore (21f, good) 7 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Back down in trip. Should take all the beating. Came on from return with 16l career best win last week; new mark back in h'cap is fair.

5th	2 5th (2) (8/1 -14%) Coole Arcade	8 8/1(-14%)	(2) Coole Arcade 8/1, Two wins from 5 runs last season. Eleventh of 13 in handicap chase at Tipperary (17f, good to soft, 11/2) 36 days ago.

7	7 \|F\| (7) (25/1 +69%) I'vedoneitall	25 25/1(+69%)	(7) I'vedoneitall 25/1, Pulled up in handicap chase (66/1) at Limerick (17.7f, good to soft) on debut over fences 15 days ago. Pulled up in last four starts including chase debut last time; 3lb wrong.

LTO Selection:

COOLE ARCADE was reported to have suffered an over-reach when disappointing at Tipperary last month but is capable of better and is suited by this distance and good ground. Last summer's form was encouraging and despite being a nine-year-old, is lightly-raced and a little unexposed over fences and should improve from his recent Tipperary race, which was also his reappearance. Top Line Tommy won easily at Tramore and while he can cope with a 9lb rise, today's same rider is unable to claim 3lb and he would ideally prefer further. Berliet Express, Dreamsrmadeofthis and Name Me Famous are closely enough matched on a recent Limerick meeting, when finishing second, third and fourth respectively, although each has yet to win over fences.

TOP LINE TOMMY found improvement to open his account at Tramore recently and, if the race doesn't come too soon, he's well capable of following up. Berliet Express is a big danger on the back of a good second at Limerick and Dreamsrmadeofthis can't be discounted.

TOP LINE TOMMY will be hard to beat if he handles the drop back in trip after a career best win in a beginners' at Tramore last week

3	5 3rd (5) (5/1 +23%) Concierge	5 5/1(+23%)	(5) Concierge 5/1, Twenty-two runs since last win in 2021. Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap (15/2) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 15 days ago.

LTO Selection:

THE PRINCES POET bounced back to form when an impressive winner at Brighton 10 days ago and the five-year-old is hard to oppose under just a 5lb penalty here. Pinwheel wasn't at his very best at Chepstow last time but he was placed on his two previous outings and it is far too soon to be writing him off. Concierge has been running well enough in defeat of late and completes the shortlist.

THE PRINCES POET banished memories of his very low-key reappearance at Windsor with a thoroughly decisive success in a Brighton handicap last week. If in the same form here, he will take plenty of stopping under a penalty. With star apprentice Billy Loughnane booked, Pinwheel could have a major say, particularly if reproducing the form of his penultimate start. Concierge continues to edge down the weights and is also worthy of consideration.

From a stable in form, THE PRINCES POET is going to be hard to beat if replicating his Brighton effort.

Player if arriving in the same mood (unrideable when pulled up on second outing). Two fine runs over 6f lately, including over C&D; the step up in trip should benefit him.

LTO Selection:

With his rider claiming a valuable 10lb, PARADISE PERFECT might be able to make the breakthrough. He came home strongly over 6f here last Thursday and the step up in trip to 7f should prove ideal for the American bred colt. Rated just 1lb below the selection, The Franchise is given second preference. The Joseph O'Brien-trained bay was a solid fourth on his return to action at the Curragh last month and should go even closer now, fitted with cheekpieces for the first time. Ger Lyons saddles two of the 15 declared, with Colin Keane opting to partner Banana Three. Third on debut at Dundalk in April, he was disappointing when 11th of 20 on his second start at Leopardstown. Hero Blues is the other Lyons contender, with Gary Carroll aboard this Saxon Warrior gelding. Fourth in a stronger contest at Leopardstown on his most recent start, he should be able to make an impact here. A brother to dual winner Aristovic, newcomer Capernoity warrants respect.

A case of quantity over quality with THE FRANCHISE selected to open his account with cheekpieces applied having shaped as if better for the run after 8 months off at the Curragh a fortnight ago. Paradise Perfect took another step forward when runner-up over 6f here last week so he may emerge as the main threat stepping back up in trip, with Ger Lyons' pair Banana Three and Hero Blues another couple to consider.

Though his draw is wider than ideal, THE FRANCHISE should have improved enough from his Curragh comeback run to score.

Heavy ground may well have not been ideal then and this should reveal more returned to a quicker surface. Shaped with significant promise on AW debut; soft ground may not have suited last time.
3	1 3rd (1) (9/1 -100%) Revenue	9 9/1(-100%)	(1) Revenue 9/1, Clearly knew job well when making winning debut in a Brighton maiden (5.2f) in April (beat subsequent winner).

Closely related to 1m/9f winner Wakeel and half-brother to 5f-9f winner Zabarqan. Out of a useful 6f 2yo winner; bought for 42,000gns last month; could have a say.

Brother to useful 6f-7f winner Breaking Records and smart 2-y-o 6f and winner Kessaar. Dam unraced. Makes appeal on paper and betting should guide on debut. Brother to a 6f 2yo Group 2 winner; looks the part on paper.
6th	6 6th (6) (8.5/1 -13%) Relentless Warrior	8.5 8.5/1(-13%)	(6) Relentless Warrior 8.5/1, Soldier's Call colt who left debut effort well behind when second of 11 in a C&D maiden 23 days ago, keeping on. In good hands and likely he can do better still. Bettered inauspicious debut when second over C&D last month; each-way claims at least.
7th	4 7th (4) (5.5/1 +15%) John Steed	5.5 5.5/1(+15%)	(4) John Steed 5.5/1, Fared best of newcomers when runner-up in 5f maiden here in May. Never figured from wide draw in Lily Agnes at Chester 9 days later but better showing not ruled out returned to calmer waters. Good second over 5f here on debut; subsequent defeat from wide draw at Chester excusable.

Dam, 2-y-o 6f winner, half-sister to useful 7f-11f winner Mixology. Out of a 6f AW 2yo winner (RPR 82); would be a rare winning newcomer for the stable.

LTO Selection:

Revenue could be worth another chance having collided with a goose when third at Windsor on his second start, but he may struggle in giving weight to all of his rivals. Toca Madera shaped well when third here over 5f on debut last month and the extra furlong appears likely to benefit him. The vote, though, goes to EMPIRE OF LIGHT. A full-brother to the Mill Reef winner Kessaar, he can be expected to know his job and is likely to capitalise from a low draw.

TOCA MADERA produced a promising first effort and was noted doing his best work at the finish over the minimum trip here 2 weeks ago. This slightly longer trip will hold no fears and with progress anticipated, he could be the answer. Revenue's latest Windsor run can be overlooked and he's respected, with John Steed and Relentless Warrior also fancied to feature.

Top of the list is TOCA MADERA, who made a very promising debut over the bare 5f on fast ground here a fortnight ago.

Closely related to smart 1¼m-1½m winner Klassique and half-brother to 2 winners, notably very smart 1m-9f winner Valiant Prince. Interesting newcomer. 160,000gns yearling by Sea The Stars; market a useful guide on debut.

LTO Selection:

Ruling Dynasty got off the mark at the second time of asking at Newcastle in October at prohibitive odds. However, with his stable under a cloud at present and the fact the son of Night Of Thunder has to give 21lb and upwards to the rest of the field means he is worth opposing. The vote, therefore, goes to KING OF THE PLAINS, who was just denied on his second start at Yarmouth last week and the son of Roaring Lion is taken to go one better. Cosmic Soul is open to improvement, while Governor Of India is exceptionally bred, being out of a Prix de Diane winner like the selection, and has to be respected on his racecourse bow.

KING OF THE PLAINS wasn't beaten far at Yarmouth last week and appeals as the type to improve again. He can open his account. Ruling Dynasty and Cosmic Soul rate the principal dangers.

This looks a strong novice event. KING OF THE PLAINS is taken to get off the mark after his close second at Yarmouth last week.

Respectable thirteenth of 25 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (19.8f, good to soft, 28/1) 44 days ago. Much respected now going chasing. Generally consistent but lost his way at end of last term; needs career best on chase bow.
2	1 2nd (1) (4/1 -20%) Britzka	4 4/1(-20%)	(1) Britzka 4/1, Two wins from 5 runs last season. 50/1, twelfth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (20f, good) 25 days ago. Makes chase debut. Yard having good spell so not ruled out. Won twice over hurdles last year but form has dipped badly; stamina to prove on chase bow.
3	2 3rd (2) (1/1 -20%) Clondaw Hollow	1 1/1(-20%)	(2) Clondaw Hollow 1/1, Fairly useful winner at 19f over hurdles. Only second run in this sphere when good second of 9 in novice chase at Kilbeggan (22f, good to soft, 4/1) 49 days ago. The one to beat. Plenty of promise in 2 chase starts so far and hard to beat if he's in the same form.
4	3 4th (3) (50/1 -25%) Indian Admiral	50 50/1(-25%)	(3) Indian Admiral 50/1, Fair winning hurdler for Henry De Bromhead in 2021. Off 19 months before pulled up on yard/chase debut at Downpatrick in May. Hard to warm to on that effort. Pulled up a long way out on return from lengthy absence latest; plenty to prove.

LTO Selection:

CLONDAW HOLLOW ran well in a recent chase and connections have found an ideal opportunity. He point-to-pointed successfully in 2018 and while he made his chase debut just this year, showed enthusiasm for fences when a runner-up at Kilbeggan, is suited by good ground and should cope with the slight drop in distance. Chase debutant Mr Saxobeat has bits of form in staying hurdles and has previous point-to-point experience. He ran respectably at the Punchestown festival in April but might struggle to beat the selection. Britza continues with his lazy running style but his runs this year have been very disappointing and will need more enthusiasm jumping fences for the first time. Indian Admiral pulled up last month although it was his first start for 571 days.

CLONDAW HOLLOW came in a good second at Kilbeggan on just his second start over fences and looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to go one better. Chasing newcomers Britzka and Mr Saxobeat appeal as the duo to chase home John McConnell's fairly useful sort in that order.

It's hard to get away from CLONDAW HOLLOW who has shown enough in two chase starts to suggest he'll have enough for these rivals

10th	6 10th (6) (10/1 +50%) Commission	10 10/1(+50%)	(6) Commission 10/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 14/1, seventh of 11 in minor event at Kempton (6f). Off 8 months. Makes handicap debut. Difficult ask. By a top sprinter but there's stamina in the pedigree, so he's of interest raised in trip..

LTO Selection:

ZOUKSTER has progressed well since beginning life in handicap company, finishing second beaten a neck at Wolverhampton before going one better at Salisbury, and he makes plenty of appeal under Billy Loughnane. Al Motasim was runner-up at Haydock on his latest start and is capable of progressing from that display. Fahari was seventh in the aforementioned contest, but she had been very consistent prior to that effort.

AL MOTASIM attracted support before shaping well at Haydock on handicap debut and, with more to come, he gets the nod ahead of recent winners Zoukster and Freetodream, who should both give a good account once again.

A competitive race but nothing appeals more than AL MOTASIM (nap), whose recent second at Haydock looks all the stronger now.

LTO Selection:

Bought for 250,000 pounds as a yearling and out of a sister to 2015 Coronation Cup winner Pether's Moon, ST VINCENTS GARDEN gets the nod. He made late progress to finish third on debut at Leopardstown last month and was then tried in Listed company at Navan. While he finished last of six there, he was little over two and a quarter lengths off the winner. Back in calmer waters now and encountering quick ground for the first time, the son of Camelot looks the one to beat. Joseph O'Brien trains the selection and is also represented by Ikigai Star and Sullivan Bay, who will both need to improve if they are to feature. Johnny Murtagh is double handed with Esquiline and newcomer Queen Lioness, with stable jockey Ben Coen aboard the former. Well supported on her most recent start at the Curragh, the French bred filly ran well to finish second and should be suited by this step up in trip. Votre Homme also filled the runner-up spot at Sligo last month and he has definite claims in first time cheekpieces. A solid fourth on debut at Navan, Van Demon is another leading hope.

ST VINCENTS GARDEN wasn't beaten far upped to listed level on just his second outing at Navan last month so, back in maiden company, Joseph O'Brien's colt is fancied to open his account. Esquiline took a big step forward 8 months on from her debut when runner-up at the Curragh recently and she may emerge as the main danger as her stamina is drawn out further. Van Demon and newcomer Queen Lioness can fight out third spot.

St Vincents Garden looks a nice prospect but ESQUILINE chased home a talented filly at the Curragh and she's preferred.

7th	2 7th (2) (22/1 -22%) Cosmic Star	22 22/1(-22%)	(2) Cosmic Star 22/1, Lightly raced 5-y-o who posted one standout effort for Les Eyre and finished well held on sole start for that yard at Beverley (8.5f) last summer. Acquired by new yard for £7,000 thereafter and the betting may well prove the best guide back from 12 months off. Struggled in all three handicaps for Les Eyre; makes stable debut after one-year absence.

LTO Selection:

KRAKEN FILLY appeared to benefit from being ridden more positively when getting off the mark over C&D on her latest start and the five-year-old has been found an excellent opportunity to back that performance up. Bailar Contigo has been knocking on the door recently on the all-weather and commands plenty of respect, while the application of a first-time hood and stepping up in trip may aid the cause of What An Icon.

BAILAR CONTIGO has shown some improvement to hit the frame on each of her last 2 starts in handicaps on all weather, and given her low-mileage profile, she could be up to building on those efforts back on turf. Recent C&D winner Kraken Filly looks the main threat.

If her recent AW form can be reproduced on fast turf, BAILAR CONTIGO will be tough to beat in this grade.

1	4 1st (4) (4/1 +11%) Peony	4 4/1(+11%)	(4) Peony 4/1, Lightly-raced winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. Didn't need to improve to win 8-runner maiden (2/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 38 days ago. May do better now sent handicapping. Good 2nd on good to firm last term; 2 decent AW runs in 2023; stiffer task on h'cap debut.
2	1 2nd (1) (2.5/1 +38%) Cuban Breeze	2.5 2.5/1(+38%)	(1) Cuban Breeze 2.5/1, Course winner who fared better than of late when second of 8 in handicap (3/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 4 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Not out of things. Exposed; worth considering after finishing second on Tapeta on Monday; new headgear.
3	2 3rd (2) (2.75/1 -22%) Silent Flame	2.75 2.75/1(-22%)	(2) Silent Flame 2.75/1, Back to winning ways at Windsor (5.1f) last month and ran as least as well when second of 11 in handicap (11/2) at same course (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Big player. Good runs at Windsor last twice, the latest when 2nd over 6f on fast ground; a possible.
4	6 4th (6) (9/1 -64%) Palm Lily	9 9/1(-64%)	(6) Palm Lily 9/1, Lightly-raced winner. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Chester (6.1f, good, 17/2) 13 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Others more persuasive. AW debut winner but hasn't really progressed and is now tried in blinkers.
5th	5 5th (5) (6.5/1 +28%) Song Of Success	6.5 6.5/1(+28%)	(5) Song Of Success 6.5/1, Lightly-raced winner. First run since leaving Richard Hughes when fourth of 5 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm, 10/1) 19 days ago. May have needed that and this outing should reveal more. Novice winner in 2022; fair fourth on stable debut last month and should improve on that.
6th	3 6th (3) (7/1 -56%) Absolutelyflawless	7 7/1(-56%)	(3) Absolutelyflawless 7/1, Returned to form when taking Wolverhampton handicap (6.1f) last month and backed that up with good second of 8 in handicap at Chester (6.1f, good, 10/1) 13 days ago. Likely contender. In-form filly; won on Tapeta and finished second at Chester last month; respected.

LTO Selection:

Peony shed the maiden tag when scoring at Wolverhampton last month and the daughter of Churchill is open to further improvement in handicap company. That said, a chance is taken with PALM LILY, who sports blinkers for the first time and may progress from her recent return to action at Chester. Absolutelyflawless and Silent Flame appeal most of the remainder.

SILENT FLAME arrives at the top of her game and can bag her second victory of the season. Absolutelyflawless is feared most.

Following her better showing at Wolverhampton earlier in the week CUBAN BREEZE is taken to get off the mark for the year.

Fair winner at 17f over hurdles. 25/1, excellent third of 17 in handicap chase at Thurles (21.9f, good to soft) 106 days ago. More to come in this sphere and should take the beating. Much improved effort when stepped up in trip at Thurles in February; up 2lb and off since.

Switches from hurdles to chase. Others more persuasive. A bit below form of late but should have more to offer back over fences at this trip.

6th	10 6th (10) (14/1 +44%) Withallduerespect	14 14/1(+44%)	(10) Withallduerespect 14/1, Course winner. Pulled up in handicap chase at Limerick (17.7f, good to soft, 20/1) 15 days ago, dropping away end of back straight. Cheekpieces back on. Hard to make a strong case for. Won over 2m on this card last year but couldn't build on that; pulled up latest.
7th	5 7th (5) (25/1 -127%) Dontdooddson	25 25/1(-127%)	(5) Dontdooddson 25/1, Unseated rider in handicap chase (15/2) at Sligo (17.2f, good to soft). Off 8 months. First run for yard after leaving Eoin Christopher McCarthy. Worth monitoring in the betting. Not beaten far at Kilbeggan in July but failed to complete twice since; not well treated.
8th	6 8th (6) (6/1 +33%) Lord Gillygooley	6 6/1(+33%)	(6) Lord Gillygooley 6/1, Fair winner at 24f over hurdles. Sixth of 10 in handicap chase at Limerick (25.5f, good to soft, 17/2) 15 days ago. Back down in trip. Others more persuasive. Sole win came over hurdles in 2021 over 3m; shown very few signs of return to form of late.
1	1 \|F\| (1) (3.5/1 +0%) Francois	3.5 3.5/1(+0%)	(1) Francois 3.5/1, Third of 12 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (20.4f, good, 20/1) 7 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Solid claims back over fences. Returned to form with placed effort last week; yet to show same form over fences.
11	11 \|PU\| (11) (8.5/1 +47%) Delias Pet	8.5 8.5/1(+47%)	(11) Delias Pet 8.5/1, 14/1, below form ninth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (19f, good). Off 13 months. Makes chase debut. Others make more appeal. Nothing to write home about in trio of point starts last month and best watched here.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (11/1 -100%) Clody Valley	11 11/1(-100%)	(7) Clody Valley 11/1, Latest win in hurdle at Fairyhouse in November. 25/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (20f, soft) 163 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Cheekpieces back on. Has a bit to prove. In good form when last seen over fences; could have more to give and fair record fresh.

LTO Selection:

FRANCOIS is a capable hurdler and competes from a favourable chase rating, with his rider claiming 7lb. He initially raced on the Flat in France, was rated 126 over hurdles last year and while well held in his most recent handicap chase at Cork, that was at a much higher level and recently returned to form over hurdles. Room To Roam ran well when last seen in February and being suited by good ground, should compete under his same 7lb claimer. Clody Valley was well held on his two most recent runs but makes his seasonal debut and is an able type at this level on summer ground. Lesssaidthebetter is 7lb out of the handicap under a 7lb claimer and was well held in the uncompetitive Bishopscourt Cup in April.

ROOM TO ROAM ran well at Thurles when last seen 106 days ago and he's well treated based on hurdling form, so he gets the nod ahead of Francois, who was third over hurdles at Down Royal last week. Lesssaidthebetter is another one to consider.

Slight preference is for WILLYWAMPUS who looked promising over fences last term and is on a fair mark for h'cap chase debut

1	2 1st (2) (1.75/1 +22%) Frankness	1.75 1.75/1(+22%)	(2) Frankness 1.75/1, Fifth of 8 in handicap (6/1) at Chester (6.1f, good) 13 days ago, never nearer from widest draw. Has more in her favour now and should go well. Dual 7f winner; not well drawn in two recent Chester sprints and ran okay in both..
2	5 2nd (5) (2.75/1 +17%) Royal Dress	2.75 2.75/1(+17%)	(5) Royal Dress 2.75/1, Winner at Doncaster in April. Seventh of 8 in handicap at Chester (6.1f, good, 10/3) 13 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Appeared to be going the right way until a disappointing effort at Chester last time..
3	3 3rd (3) (3.5/1 -27%) Granary Queen	3.5 3.5/1(-27%)	(3) Granary Queen 3.5/1, Creditable second of 9 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, firm, 4/1) 14 days ago, slowly away. In a rich vein of form at present and could gain reward if everything drops right. Developed a habit of arriving strongly on the scene only to find little for pressure..
4	4 4th (4) (6/1 +20%) Kensington Agent	6 6/1(+20%)	(4) Kensington Agent 6/1, Five wins from 19 Flat runs. 4 wins from 8 runs this year. Latest win at Wolverhampton in April. 11/2, fifth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 31 days ago. Not completely dismissed. Admirably consistent this year but fifth last time and perhaps high in the weights now..
5th	6 5th (6) (12/1 +25%) Whistledown	12 12/1(+25%)	(6) Whistledown 12/1, 28/1, bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (6f). Off 7 months. Likely to need this first run back and others make more appeal. This mark is okay if returning to anything like her best; likes downhill tracks..
6th	1 6th (1) (18/1 -140%) Scot's Grace	18 18/1(-140%)	(1) Scot's Grace 18/1, 66/1, first run since leaving Hugo Palmer when 17¾ lengths last of 9 to Get Ahead in listed race at Haydock (6f, good) 14 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Hard to make a strong case for. Placed off 6lb higher last year; flying too high in Listed race on recent stable debut..

LTO Selection:

This can go the way of GRANARY QUEEN, who was narrowly denied at Bath last time out and should be suited by the extra half a furlong here. The five-year-old has gone well on undulating tracks in the past and is preferred to the likes of Kensington Agent, as well as Frankness, who hinted at a return to form when staying on late over this trip at Chester last month.

FRANKNESS has shaped better than the result from a poor draw on her last two starts and, down in grade, she makes plenty of appeal. Granary Queen should give her running once more but she needs everything to go her way. Royal Dress could also feature if she's able to put a blip behind her.

Andrew Balding's FRANKNESS has run quite well from tricky draws at Chester the last twice and can show her true colours here.

Has plenty of experience on his side so has to be considered. Generally consistent maiden but will have to find a bit more for the longer trip.
2	6 2nd (6) (5/1 +44%) Union Flag	5 5/1(+44%)	(6) Union Flag 5/1, Better judged on previous form when sixth of 10 in handicap at this course (10f, good, 12/1) 8 days ago, denied a run early in straight then plugging on. Some promise on handicap debut at Cork but below that level over 1m2f here last time.
3	5 3rd (5) (14/1 -17%) Rauzan	14 14/1(-17%)	(5) Rauzan 14/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, back on track when sixth of 16 on handicap debut at Roscommon (12f, good to soft, 14/1) 18 days ago. Bogged down in testing ground on return; didn't shape badly on handicap debut; needs more.
4	1 4th (1) (0.8/1 +47%) Blazing Sunset	0.8 0.8/1(+47%)	(1) Blazing Sunset 0.8/1, Bumped into a trio of useful sorts on debut and after 10 months off, 13/8, won 11-runner maiden at Sligo (10.4f, good to soft) 24 days ago, well positioned to lead 2f out. Open to improvement now handicapping. Won a Sligo maiden on return; is entitled to have improved from that and take high rank.
5th	4 5th (4) (10/1 -33%) Giselles Defence	10 10/1(-33%)	(4) Giselles Defence 10/1, Took a small step forward making turf debut after 7 weeks off when 3 lengths fourth of 11 to Blazing Sunset in maiden (7/1) at Sligo (10.4f, good to soft) 24 days ago, well positioned. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Is 4lb better off with Blazing Sunset today and has the aid of cheekpieces; chance.
6th	2 6th (2) (14/1 -100%) A Moment Like This	14 14/1(-100%)	(2) A Moment Like This 14/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, matched previous form upped markedly in trip when fourth of 9 in maiden at Dundalk (10.7f, 14/1) a couple of months ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Makes handicap debut and can improve. Should come on for reappearance and has a chance on handicap bow with blinkers added.

LTO Selection:

This looks a good opportunity for BLAZING SUNSET to double his tally. A solid fourth of seven on his sole start as a juvenile in a good quality Killarney contest, he made the breakthrough on his return to action at Sligo last month, comfortably accounting for 10 rivals. Stepping up in trip now to a 1m 4f, he has to contend with top weight on what will be his handicap debut. Dubawi Spectre has really been knocking on the door of late and is another being upped in trip. Beaten by less than a length on his three most recent starts, the Jessica Harrington-trained bay certainly wouldn't be winning out of turn. A Moment Like This is out of Stellar Wind, a six-time winner at the highest level in the US. A close fourth at Dundalk on her latest outing, it'll be interesting to see how she fares in first-time blinkers.

BLAZING SUNSET confirmed his debut promise when getting off the mark on return at Sligo last month and, with better to come upped further in distance, Dermot Weld's charge gets the nod to make a winning handicap debut. Dubawi Spectre has plenty of experience on his side, so he's put forward as the main threat, ahead of sole filly in the line-up A Moment Like This.

There should be more to come from BLAZING SUNSET and he can confirm form with Giselles Defence from last time.

1	1 1st (1) (3/1 +25%) King's Code	3 3/1(+25%)	(1) King's Code 3/1, Lightly-raced maiden who shaped as if needing the run after 7 months off when last of 7 in 10f handicap at Ascot (soft, 12/1) 27 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Now wears cheekpieces and back down in trip; much too early to dismiss him.
2	3 2nd (3) (8/1 -33%) Outrace	8 8/1(-33%)	(3) Outrace 8/1, Broke a frustrating run of seconds when off the mark at Kempton in February. Seemed unsuited by conditions when well held at Doncaster (10.2f, heavy) on most recent outing and now drops back in trip. Never far away in AW handicaps, nearly all under Tyrese Cameron from front; modest on turf.
3	2 3rd (2) (0.62/1 +25%) Warren Hill	0.62 0.62/1(+25%)	(2) Warren Hill 0.62/1, Shaped encouragingly from a less-than-ideal position after 6 months off (had breathing op) when third of 13 in 8.2f handicap at Leicester (good to firm, 14/1) 11 days ago, running on late. Capable of better still and has leading claims. 14-1 third on seasonal/handicap debut at Leicester (1m, good to firm) from well off pace.
4	4 4th (4) (8/1 -78%) Butterfly Effect	8 8/1(-78%)	(4) Butterfly Effect 8/1, Fair maiden who ran respectably when sixth of 11 in handicap (10/1) at Pontefract (10f, good) 14 days ago despite missing break. Back down in trip. Eight-race maiden; blinkered last twice and was not quite at her best form, which is on AW.

LTO Selection:

OUTRACE boasted a consistent level of form on the all-weather earlier this year and Richard Hannon's colt appeared not to handle softer ground when returning to turf at Doncaster in April. The drop back in trip is another positive and he is capable of bouncing back. Warren Hill is open to improvement following her third at Leicester on handicap debut, while King's Code, a stable companion of the selection, is feared in first-time cheekpieces.

The one who stands out is WARREN HILL, who shaped well from a less-than-ideal position when third on her Leicester return 2 weeks ago and appeals as the type to go on improving. Butterfly Effect could do with cutting out the tardy starts but is still second choice.

Warren Hill gave clearly the most positive performance in this field last time out but another chance is given to KING'S CODE.

Visor now on 1st time as he drops back down in trip. All turf wins off higher marks at Brighton; new headgear; not stay 7f last time; player.
7th	4 7th (4) (22/1 -10%) Modular Magic	22 22/1(-10%)	(4) Modular Magic 22/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. After 4 months off, shaped as if needing run when sixth of 8 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good, 4/1) 16 days ago. Is on a workable mark if stepping forward from his recent run. Has won three races over 5f; below par last twice; quite interesting on first run at 6f.

LTO Selection:

A comfortable winner when making all at Hamilton last week, ABATE arrives in excellent shape and the step up in trip should hold no fears as he looks to notch up an eighth career success. Adrian Nicholls' charge should have too much for the capable Asadjumeirah, as well as Dark Side Thunder, who has won two of his last three starts but remains winless on the turf.

Having shaped well on his previous outing, ABATE resumed winning ways in good style at Hamilton 9 days ago and he can score again in his current form. Dark Side Thunder has also been going through a good spell of late and can give the selection most to think about, while Asadjumeirah is an interesting contender off his career-low mark.

Last week's Hamilton apprentice handicap winner ABATE is 6lb well in and can complete a double by beating Dark Side Thunder.

6	6 \|PU\| (6) (18/1 +73%) Bonne Derreen	18 18/1(+73%)	(6) Bonne Derreen 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eleventh of 13 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (20.4f, good, 50/1). Off 10 months. Makes chase debut. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Point winner but shown nothing under Rules so far and she's been off 308 days.

LTO Selection:

KILBALLYOWEN slips in under the radar for this 0-102 race and should benefit from stepping up in distance. A 130,000 pounds purchase following a point-to-point win for Enda Bolger, his racecourse form is largely poor but stayed on quite nicely at Downpatrick recently and this a weak race. Trendy Lady had useful maiden hurdles form last summer and while well held on most recent starts, should strip fitter following a recent reappearance. She has a hurdles rating of 100 and receives a 7lb mares' allowance. Emir De Rots goes well at this course and while lightly raced over fences in recent times, his 2021 chase form was ok and can place today. Points winner Bonne Derreen was well held over hurdles last summer.

Winning pointer KILBALLYOWEN made a promising start in this sphere when third at Downpatrick and can take a sizeable step forward to open his account at the chief expense of Trendy Lady, who rates the form pick of those with experience. Emir de Rots has been in good nick over hurdles and appeals as the best of the remainder for place purposes now back over fences.

Another step up in trip could be the key for point winner KILBALLYOWEN who showed improved form last time and he's unexposed

1	1 1st (1) (1.75/1 -7%) Age Of Sail	1.75 1.75/1(-7%)	(1) Age Of Sail 1.75/1, Career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Chepstow (12f, good to firm, 5/2) 7 days ago, having run of race. Carries penalty. Should be hard to pass once again. Dominated from the front at Chepstow (1m4f) and the visor is working well..
2	2 2nd (2) (3.5/1 -59%) The Thunderer	3.5 3.5/1(-59%)	(2) The Thunderer 3.5/1, First run since leaving Sean Curran when tongue strap on for 1st time, did well to win 7-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 10/3) 60 days ago, very slowly away. Should make his presence felt if he's sharper from the stalls. Did well to win at Wolverhampton, which was his stable debut in a first-time tongue-tie..
3	4 3rd (4) (16/1 +52%) Militry Decoration	16 16/1(+52%)	(4) Militry Decoration 16/1, Latest win at Southwell in December. 25/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (16f). Off 93 days. Back down in trip. Capable off this mark but he lacks a recent run (after wind surgery) and may need further..

Merits respect. Settled better with some cover when returning to form at Brighton latest; up 4lb..
5th	5 5th (5) (7.5/1 +25%) Whimsy	7.5 7.5/1(+25%)	(5) Whimsy 7.5/1, 11/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, eighth of 9 in handicap at Salisbury (14.2f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Others are more persuasive. Player on last summer's highs but her current campaign has yet to get going at all..
6th	6 6th (6) (12/1 -50%) Spyfall	12 12/1(-50%)	(6) Spyfall 12/1, 10/1, seventeenth of 18 in handicap at Newbury (12f, good) 21 days ago. Needs to bounce back if she's to make any sort of impact. Tailed off last time and looks held by The Thunderer on a previous AW encounter..

LTO Selection:

Age Of Sail is sure to prove popular after making all at Chepstow last Friday and a 5lb penalty isn't likely to prevent another bold bid, particularly as Gary Moore's inmate is 3lb well in. However, THE THUNDERER did extremely well to get up at Wolverhampton on his stable debut in April and, with the second and third winning since, a 5lb rise in the handicap looks potentially lenient. The in-form Later Darling completes the shortlist.

AGE OF SAIL made all with a bit to spare at Chepstow recently and, if he gets his own way in front again, he should prove hard to pass. Fellow last-time-out winner The Thunderer, despite his tendency to miss the break, and Later Darling is another one to consider.

A trappy handicap as none of these are overly reliable. Recent Brighton winner LATER DARLING could be capable of following up.

That was his first run for 6 months and better showing not ruled out here. 1m2f winner at Cork last summer and these drier conditions could be the key to him..

Back up in trip. Needs a couple of these to falter. Soft ground perhaps to blame for quiet stable debut; UK form needs respecting..
13th	9 13th (9) (80/1 -60%) Bobbys Angel	80 80/1(-60%)	(9) Bobbys Angel 80/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fourteenth of 17 in maiden at Gowran (9.6f, heavy, 150/1) 52 days ago. Up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Limited promise in 1m-1m1f maidens but handicaps should see her in a better light..
14th	8 14th (8) (14/1 +44%) Winterscape	14 14/1(+44%)	(8) Winterscape 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Last of 7 in novice hurdle (20/1) at Cork (19f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time. Poor on last Flat run. Maiden under both codes and all things considered he has a lot to prove..
15th	10 15th (10) (100/1 -100%) Easky Maid	100 100/1(-100%)	(10) Easky Maid 100/1, More miss than hit on Flat last term and well held all 3 starts over hurdles since. Rates best watched returning to the level following 111 day break. Once placed last summer; opposable on her recent exploits under both codes..

LTO Selection:

A competitive affair to round off proceedings, with MISS UPBEAT the suggestion. She ran well to finish fourth in first time cheekpieces at Tipperary last week and might be able to go a few places better now. Celtic Revival just gets in here after being dropped 2lb for his latest effort at Gowran. Successful three times at Dundalk from January to March, the chestnut gelding is a leading contender with James Ryan claiming a valuable 7lb. Conor Stone-Walsh also claims 7lb aboard Scalor, who was placed three times on the level last season. The versatile Liz Doyle-trained eight-year-old unseated early at Kilbeggan on Sunday last and looks capable of making his presence felt here. A son of Frankel and a brother to Listed winner Franconia, Winterscape is of definite interest in first time cheekpieces, while Not Just Any Eagle and Romann are others for the shortlist.

MISS UPBEAT is less exposed than most and took a small step forward when fourth in a big field Tipperary handicap on her latest start 10 days ago. She could well be up to building on that equipped with first-time cheekpieces. Scalor, back from a stint chasing, and Celtic Revival head up the dangers.

An open finale. First choice is MISS UPBEAT who seems to be finding her level after finishing closer again at Tipperary.

The third has franked that form since, so he's respected up 2 lb. Four course wins, the latest over 1m2f last month; still on a workable mark; respected.
2	7 2nd (7) (4/1 -14%) Bold And Loyal	4 4/1(-14%)	(7) Bold And Loyal 4/1, Remains a maiden after 21 Flat runs but wasted no time getting back to form when second of 10 in 1m handicap at Yarmouth (good to firm, 15/2) 8 days ago. Good chance of breaking his duck with a repeat. Ran well when second at Yarmouth last week but is now 0-21.
3	1 3rd (1) (8.5/1 -42%) Villalobos	8.5 8.5/1(-42%)	(1) Villalobos 8.5/1, Made a winning start for the yard at Lingfield in March and ran well after just 2 days off when fourth in 8-runner at Chelmsford City (10f) 29 days ago. Should go well again. Back on turf after two respectable AW runs last month; probably won't be far away.

Shortlist material. Not seen on turf since 2021 but AW form from February/March gives him a shout here.
5th	5 5th (5) (9/1 +64%) Susanbequick	9 9/1(+64%)	(5) Susanbequick 9/1, Eighth of 13 in handicap (50/1) at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) on reappearance 4 days ago. Drop in trip should help given how she shaped that day. Ran okay over 11.4f on Monday and may benefit from this drop back in trip.
6th	4 6th (4) (6.5/1 +28%) Available Angel	6.5 6.5/1(+28%)	(4) Available Angel 6.5/1, Probably needed the run after 6 months off when ninth of 11 in handicap (6/1) at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Not dismissed on the pick of her form. Claims on last summer's fast-ground form but recent seasonal debut was underwhelming.
7th	9 7th (9) (80/1 -300%) Pretty Green	80 80/1(-300%)	(9) Pretty Green 80/1, Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. Sixth of 7 in handicap (16/1) at Brighton (8f, good). Off 11 months.

9th	2 9th (2) (12/1 +64%) Thewaytothestars	12 12/1(+64%)	(2) Thewaytothestars 12/1, Maiden who again finished well held in a first-time visor and tongue strap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 88 days ago. Hard to fancy after a break. Out of form on AW at start of this year; returns to turf with quite a bit ti prove.

LTO Selection:

Course specialist BLUE HERO scored again here over 1m2f last time out and should be well suited by the drop back in trip. The five-year-old remains well handicapped compared to his old form and gets the vote ahead of Villalobos, and Bold And Loyal, who has been runner-up on two of his last three starts. Send In The Clouds is a player based on the pick of his form as well.

SEND IN THE CLOUDS is more consistent than most at this level which counts for plenty, so he's put forward as the answer. Blue Hero and Villalobos head the opposition.

Four-time course winner BLUE HERO (nap) can handle firm ground and is probably still on a workable mark after his recent 1m2f success.

LTO Selection:

The well-bred Ancient Wisdom cost 2,000,000 euro as a yearling and is bound to be popular, but the form of his stable is a slight worry, and preference instead is for CROWN ESTATE. A son of the French 1000 Guineas winner Castle Lady, he is bred to be at this best over a mile, but he may have enough pace for this trip first time out. Dallas Star and Victory Shout are others with strong pedigrees that could get involved.

An interesting field of newcomers, with preference for CROWN ESTATE who makes plenty of appeal on paper being the first foal of French 1000 Guineas winner Castle Lady. He is taken to make a winning start for John & Thady Gosden, though amongst the list of potential dangers is expensive purchase Ancient Wisdom, along with Victory Shout.

An illuminating novice, featuring an array of beautifully bred colts. The 2,000,000euros yearling ANCIENT WISDOM receives the vote.

First run for yard after leaving J. G. Murray with more needed on her chase debut. 0-18; struggling at start of year; best watched on yard/chase debut here.

LTO Selection:

BAL KAUTO is related to Kauto Star and might do his bit for the family name in winning on his chase debut. Out of a maiden half-sister to the dual Gold Cup winner, his form last year was poor and failed to land a gamble on his first start for new connections in April but recently won over hurdles at Limerick and competes from his revised 90 hurdles' rating on chase debut, in a weak race. Chief Seattle won a similar race last September (beating Rule Of June into sixth) and should strip fitter following a recent reappearance run. Rule Of June has been running well recently and is race-fit while Rudy Catrail, a 12-year-old, returned to some form recently and can get involved.

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and RULE OF JUNE is weighted to gain a second success in this sphere on the back of her good recent Tramore fifth. Bal Kauto has his first go over fences but is still feared most having landed a Limerick handicap hurdle last time out. In-form Chief Seattle is another who can have a say back in this sphere along with veteran Repeat That.

Not many arrive in-form and it may be worth siding with RUDY CATRAIL who wasn't beaten far last weekend and the longer trip will help

LTO Selection:

AL ALAALI has been runner-up on two of his last three starts and should be suited by the switch to turf. The three-year-old has the services of James Doyle to call on this time around and that may be enough to see off Fox Vision, who threw away his chance when hanging left late on at Ripon in April. El Jasor has claims if bouncing back to the form of his penultimate effort at Windsor.

FOX VISION has run to a fairly useful level when runner-up on his last 2 starts and appeals as the type to find improvement now going handicapping, so he could be ready to get off the mark this time around. Al Alaali ran well on his handicap debut last time and is feared most having been gelded since, with Pjanoo the pick of the remainder.

The vote goes to EL JASOR who ran well in a Windsor novice two starts ago and ought to prove capable of being competitive.
