13:35 Goodwood Handicap (Class 3) 7f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (4.5/1 +25%) Mister Bluebird	4.5 4.5/1(+25%)	(6) Mister Bluebird 4.5/1, In top form around this time last year, winning twice at up to 7.2f. Ended 2022 in disappointing fashion but right back on his game this spring with a brace of placed efforts under this excellent apprentice. Only a length away at Ascot a month ago in a race he won the previous season off 8lb lower.
2	3 2nd (3) (6/1 -9%) Darkness	6 6/1(-9%)	(3) Darkness 6/1, Remains winless for this yard but plenty of good efforts to his name, including when runner-up on return at Redcar (7f, heavy) in April. Mixed bag has followed but seemed to benefit from more positive tactics when runner-up at Epsom last week. Now looks interesting. Looked all over the winner at Epsom until reeled in late on; turn looks near.
3	7 3rd (7) (4.5/1 +40%) Physique	4.5 4.5/1(+40%)	(7) Physique 4.5/1, Had a bit up his sleeve to score second time up in a race lacking depth at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) in October but failed to last out over the 1m trip on return at Chelmsford in April. Tongue tied and resumed progress back in trip when third over C&D last month. More needed from this mark. Form claims; unraced on this faster ground but no reason why he shouldn't handle it.
4	8 4th (8) (5.5/1 +31%) Chola Empire	5.5 5.5/1(+31%)	(8) Chola Empire 5.5/1, Solid record in AW handicaps to start 2023 and fared about as well as could be expected when of 7 upped in class on turf at Newmarket 3 weeks ago. Close fourth at Newmarket (7f, good) where a true pace would have been welcomed.
5th	9 5th (9) (5/1 -43%) La Maquina	5 5/1(-43%)	(9) La Maquina 5/1, Multiple 7f winner who largely run with credit campaigned over longer trips on turf/AW last year for George Baker. Changed hands for just £1,500 in March but he may yet be up adding to his tally judged on both starts for new yard last month. After a slow start he did well to finish so close at York and thereabouts with a repeat.
6th	1 6th (1) (22/1 -57%) Bass Player	22 22/1(-57%)	(1) Bass Player 22/1, Doncaster maiden winner (at 7f) on debut last spring and made frame in stronger company on 2 of next 3 starts. Couldn't build on that thereafter, though reappearance run at Newmarket (having had a wind op) wasn't devoid of promise. Tongue tie on. Quiet comeback run but now tongue tied and the ability is there to take a hand.
7th	4 7th (4) (20/1 -67%) Mitrosonfire	20 20/1(-67%)	(4) Mitrosonfire 20/1, Successful at Newmarket in August and held his form very well to end 2022. Off 6 months and 3 lb above that winning mark. Consistent handicapper but off since November and this run might be needed.
8th	5 8th (5) (8/1 +20%) Al Rufaa	8 8/1(+20%)	(5) Al Rufaa 8/1, Lightly raced and attitude seemed to ger the better of him when trained by John Gosden. Changed hands for £50,000 and hasn't fired all 3 starts for current yard, albeit he was denied a clear run at Chester latest. Losing spell goes back to 2020 and he's not been threatening to end the drought.
9th	2 9th (2) (6.5/1 -63%) Light And Dark	6.5 6.5/1(-63%)	(2) Light And Dark 6.5/1, Useful handicapper but performed no more than respectably in 2 outings in Dubai at the start of this year. Below his last winning mark but that was in 2020. Others more compelling fitted with a hood for the first time. Slow starts can hold him back but the ability is there to take a hand.

LTO Selection:

A competitive opener in which it's hard to rule anything out and it may pay to take a punt on AL RUFAA off a falling mark. Charlie Fellowes' gelding comes with risks attached having not won for almost three years, but the six-year-old is now 10lb below his last winning mark and offered more encouragement at Chester last time. Mister Bluebird arrives in good form and is feared most, ahead of C&D winner La Maquina, who finished a respectable fourth at York recently.

The switch to positive tactics almost paid dividends for connections of DARKNESS at Epsom last week, worn down only late having done plenty at the head of affairs. That effort suggests he's ready to strike, with Mister Bluebird and La Maquina feared most.

Oisin Murphy's mount LIGHT AND DARK looks interesting in the hood and his penultimate effort at Meydan was highly encouraging.

13:40 Punchestown Maiden Hurdle 16f - 16 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (0.57/1 +54%) Arctic Fly	0.57 0.57/1(+54%)	(1) Arctic Fly 0.57/1, Fair bumper winner who proved too free when midfield in 13-runner mares' event here (16.3f) on latest start in April. However, in excellent hands and no surprise to see her figure on hurdles bow.
2	11 2nd (11) (7/1 -27%) The Grey Dove	7 7/1(-27%)	(11) The Grey Dove 7/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 9/2, eleventh of 18 in bumper at Limerick (16.4f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Switches from bumpers to hurdles. Yard in good form. Booking of Gilligan a plus.
3	9 3rd (9) (7/1 +7%) Stormalong	7 7/1(+7%)	(9) Stormalong 7/1, Modest hurdler. Very good sixth of 18 in novice hurdle at Limerick (19f, good to soft, 50/1) 16 days ago.
4	6 4th (6) (18/1 +10%) Lodilomoco	18 18/1(+10%)	(6) Lodilomoco 18/1, Fair winner at 17f in bumpers. 16/1, built on hurdling debut effort when ninth of 15 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.2f, good) 12 days ago but handicaps likely to be more her bag in due course.
5th	16 5th (16) (100/1 -100%) Olivine Queen	100 100/1(-100%)	(16) Olivine Queen 100/1, Champs Elysees filly. Dam (h121) 2m hurdle winner (stayed 2¼m). Likely best watched on debut.
6th	12 6th (12) (12/1 +25%) Tideways Hero	12 12/1(+25%)	(12) Tideways Hero 12/1, €25,000 3-y-o, Mount Nelson mare. Half-sister to untrustworthy/fairly useful chaser Est Illic, stays 21f. Pulled up sole start in points but has joined a good yard ahead of Rules debut. Wears hood.
7th	2 7th (2) (16/1 -14%) Bobbisilver	16 16/1(-14%)	(2) Bobbisilver 16/1, Promising sort. 40/1, fourth of 14 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.2f, good) 12 days ago. Eyeshields on 1st time. May well do better.
8th	5 8th (5) (150/1 -200%) Late Vocation	150 150/1(-200%)	(5) Late Vocation 150/1, Workforce mare. Dam pulled up both starts in points. Rates a likely outsider on hurdles bow.
9th	7 9th (7) (33/1 +18%) Side Show	33 33/1(+18%)	(7) Side Show 33/1, Champs Elysees mare. Dam, poor maiden hurdler, closely related to smart hurdler/chaser (stays 4m) Threeunderthrufive. Made frame once from 4 starts in points, unplaced last time (May 21).
8	8 \|F\| (8) (9/1 -29%) Stay Local	9 9/1(-29%)	(8) Stay Local 9/1, Fair maiden on the Flat who offered something to work on sent hurdling when sixth in 11-runner Ballinrobe maiden (16.6f) back in August. Creditable third back on Flat at Naas (1m) in April and likely she has more to offer in this sphere.
4	4 \|U\| (4) (80/1 -186%) Just Chelsea	80 80/1(-186%)	(4) Just Chelsea 80/1, Leading Light mare. Dam, maiden pointer, sister to fairly useful chaser (stayed 2½m) Royal Macnab.
14	14 \|U\| (14) (150/1 -275%) Burma Ruby	150 150/1(-275%)	(14) Burma Ruby 150/1, Notnowcato filly. Half-sister to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser A Tail of Intrigue, stayed 3m. Dam bumper winner/fair hurdler (stayed 2¾m). Made frame sole start in points (May 7) and betting should guide on hurdles debut.
10th	13 10th (13) (150/1 -275%) Weliketoparty	150 150/1(-275%)	(13) Weliketoparty 150/1, Soldier of Fortune mare. Closely related to poor chaser Henry Brown, stays 27f. Likely to need time and distance.
11th	3 11th (3) (150/1 -50%) Georgiabell	150 150/1(-50%)	(3) Georgiabell 150/1, Doyen mare. 150/1, pulled up in novice hurdle at Thurles (16f, soft) on NH debut 85 days ago, racing off the pace and never dangerous.
12th	10 12th (10) (16/1 -60%) Summertime Romance	16 16/1(-60%)	(10) Summertime Romance 16/1, Fairly useful Flat winner, making GB/IRE jumps debut. Second of 6 in handicap (11/4) at Southwell (14.1f) in January. First run for yard after leaving Marco Botti.
13th	17 13th (17) (150/1 -127%) Quarry Lady	150 150/1(-127%)	(17) Quarry Lady 150/1, Court Cave filly. Dam unraced sister to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser (stayed 3½m) Not A Bother Boy.

LTO Selection:

Out of a sister to County Hurdle winner Arctic Fire, ARCTIC FLY made a winning start in a Leopardstown bumper in March. That has worked out to be relatively ordinary form and she was unable to cut the mustard in Listed/Grade 3 company afterwards but is still a leading contender now switched to hurdles with her yard continuing to send out winners with relentless regularity. Point-to-point winner Bobbisilver caught the eye of the stewards on hurdling debut and then ran well at a big price when fourth in a fairly competitive maiden at Ballinrobe. Bumper winner Stormalong has a mark of 101 in this sphere and was a creditable sixth to a Mullins-trained winner at Limerick. Summertime Romance won over 1m4f and was rated in the high 70s for Marco Botti while Stay Local has been placed in her last three Flat outings and makes her second start over hurdles.

A fair winner on the first of her 3 starts in bumpers, ARTCTIC FLY proved too free on her latest start in that sphere in April. However, she remains the type to do better now switched to timber and in a race lacking depth, it would come as no surprise to see her play a lead role. The Grey Dove and Stay Local can also hit the frame, whilst Tideways Hero and Summertime Romance need monitoring in the betting for clues.

Good bumper mare ARCTIC FLY sets a standard here that her rivals cannot match

13:50 Perth Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (0.44/1 +40%) An Mhi	0.44 0.44/1(+40%)	(1) An Mhi 0.44/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time when easily off the mark in 15-runner novice hurdle (5/6) at Ballinrobe (22.4f, good) 13 days ago. Has more to offer and he looks the one to beat. Not beaten far in major handicap in February and easily won recent maiden; big player.
2	2 2nd (2) (3/1 -50%) Fiveonefive	3 3/1(-50%)	(2) Fiveonefive 3/1, Made a mockery of his opening mark returning from 4 months off in 14-runner handicap hurdle at Tipperary (16f, good) 24 days ago. Up in trip. Can make his presence felt with further progress on the cards. Quite stylish winner of last month's handicap debut; should have more to offer.
3	4 3rd (4) (28/1 +44%) Dance Thief	28 28/1(+44%)	(4) Dance Thief 28/1, Easily off mark in points at seventh attempt in March but only modest form shown in two maiden hurdles over C&D this spring. Hard to warm to in this company. Not beaten far in two C&D maidens this spring but faces a tough assignment today.
4	6 4th (6) (7/1 +13%) Gorthill	7 7/1(+13%)	(6) Gorthill 7/1, Point winner who also made a successful start in hunter chases at Downpatrick last month. Much respected now going hurdling. Won maiden hunter chase last month; now makes his hurdling debut.
5th	5 5th (5) (50/1 +0%) Franz Josef	50 50/1(+0%)	(5) Franz Josef 50/1, Maiden Irish pointer who came in a respectable fourth of 9 in novice hurdle at Kelso (20.9f, good to soft) 32 days ago. Has lots to find on form. Soundly beaten on both hurdling starts; low-grade handicaps beckon.
6th	3 6th (3) (20/1 +0%) Ballymagee	20 20/1(+0%)	(3) Ballymagee 20/1, 40/1, went wrong way from his hurdling debut third when thirteenth of 15 in novice hurdle at Down Royal (20.2f, heavy). Off 17 months with lots to prove. Placed over hurdles in 2021 and has since won a point but others look stronger here.
7th	7 7th (7) (200/1 -33%) Confelicity	200 200/1(-33%)	(7) Confelicity 200/1, Unplaced all 3 starts in Irish points before remote fourth of 8 in novice hurdle (150/1) at Cartmel (17.2f, good) on NH debut 11 days ago. Plenty more is required. Showed only minor promise when 150-1 for recent rules debut at Cartmel.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (22/1 +12%) Izzy Bell	22 22/1(+12%)	(8) Izzy Bell 22/1, Modest hurdler. 40/1, fair sixth of 11 in novice hurdle at Hexham (16.2f, soft) 48 days ago. Place prospects stepping back up in trip. Placed at huge odds at Carlisle in April; another minor prize is her best hope here.

LTO Selection:

AN MHI was an easy seven-length victor when sporting a first-time tongue tie last time at Ballinrobe after a break. The six-year-old sets a decent standard for this level with a rating of 127, so he is strongly fancied to defy his 7lb penalty. The main threat might be last-time-out winner Fiveonefive, who shed his maiden tag in handicap company at Tipperary last time and he could have a say. Gorthill is interesting as he makes his first start over hurdles.

AN MHI impressively opened his account at Ballinrobe last month and Gordon Elliott's 6-y-o looks the way to go despite having to shoulder a 7 lb penalty. Fiveonefive rates much the biggest threat on the back of his Tipperary breakthrough success, with Izzy Bell rating the pick of the remainder for minor honours.

Fiveonefive is respected but preference is for AN MHI, who barely came off the bridle when beating a fair runner-up at Ballinrobe.

14:00 Navan Maiden 5f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	7 1st (7) (3/1 -9%) Pearls And Rubies	3 3/1(-9%)	(7) Pearls And Rubies 3/1, Foaled March 5. No Nay Never filly. Closely related to 2-y-o 1m winner Diamondsareforever and half-sister to useful 2-y-o 7f winner Diamond Sparkles and 1½m winner Riches And Rubies By No Nay Never out of Group 1 Pretty Polly winner Diamondsandrubies, 5f may be too sharp.
2	2 2nd (2) (1.2/1 +13%) I Am Invictus	1.2 1.2/1(+13%)	(2) I Am Invictus 1.2/1, Foaled March 3. €65,000 yearling, 160,000 gns 2-y-o, Cotai Glory colt. Dam unraced half-sister to smart winning sprinter Fairyland, won Flying Five Stakes and third in July Cup. Promising individual. 11/1, third of 5 in minor event at Naas (5f, good to firm) on debut 21 days ago. Open to progress. Finished in front of subsequent winner Supersonic Man when third to smart type at Naas.
3	5 3rd (5) (22/1 +56%) Asean	22 22/1(+56%)	(5) Asean 22/1, Once-raced filly. 13/2, twelfth of 13 in maiden at Cork (5f, soft) on debut 37 days ago. Yard in good form. Slowly away and ran green on debut at Cork, may improve considerably on better ground.
4	4 4th (4) (5.5/1 +21%) Ocean Baroque	5.5 5.5/1(+21%)	(4) Ocean Baroque 5.5/1, Second of 9 in maiden (12/1) at this C&D (soft) on debut. 3/1, only fifth of 17 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Chance on debut form. Two runs over 6f at the Curragh, second on debut and a satisfactory fifth of 17 last time.
5th	9 5th (9) (20/1 -11%) Staysound Susie	20 20/1(-11%)	(9) Staysound Susie 20/1, Once-raced filly. Fourth of 15 in maiden at Cork (5f, good, 100/1) on debut 25 days ago. Should have more to offer. 100-1 chance when making a promising debut over 5f at Cork, has something to build on now.
6th	3 6th (3) (12/1 -33%) Lightening Army	12 12/1(-33%)	(3) Lightening Army 12/1, Twice-raced colt. 7/1, fourth of 9 in minor event at Tipperary (5f, good) 12 days ago, not ideally placed. Blinkers on 1st time. Second at Dundalk on debut, Tipperary fourth suggests he may not cope with I Am Invictus.
7th	8 7th (8) (33/1 -200%) Si Senior	33 33/1(-200%)	(8) Si Senior 33/1, Once-raced filly. Sixth of 17 in maiden (66/1) at the Curragh (6f, good to soft) on debut 16 days ago. Made a pleasing debut when 66-1 at the Curragh, not far off Ocean Journey then.
8th	1 8th (1) (125/1 -25%) Ciantov	125 125/1(-25%)	(1) Ciantov 125/1, Foaled March 31. 22,000 gns yearling, Profitable colt. Closely related to 2-y-o 6f winner Elation and half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 9f/1¼m winner Stetchworth and 2-y-o 1m winner Taqwaa. Unraced dam closely related to Derby second and influential jumps sire Walk In The Park.
9th	10 9th (10) (14/1 +44%) Strong Possibility	14 14/1(+44%)	(10) Strong Possibility 14/1, Foaled March 8. 40,000 gns foal, €25,000 yearling, Ardad filly. Dam, 2-y-o 7f winner who stayed 1¼m, out of lightly-raced half-sister to smart performer up to 16.5f Excellent Result Dam was a debut 7f AW juvenile winner, Jessica Harrington's team is in good shape.
10th	6 10th (6) (28/1 +15%) Little Mi Mi	28 28/1(+15%)	(6) Little Mi Mi 28/1, Once-raced filly. 33/1, sixth of 9 in minor event at Tipperary (5f, good) on debut 12 days ago. Likely to improve but plenty more needed.. Finished around 2l behind Lightening Army when sixth on debut at Tipperary.

LTO Selection:

I AM INVICTUS contested a hot race on debut at Naas and did as well as could be expected in third. The horse in fourth has since got off the mark in Tipperary. I Am Invictus holds a Group 2 Railway Stakes entry at the Curragh. Newcomer Pearls And Rubies is related to three winners, two of whom won as juveniles. She is an obvious player coming from the champion trainer's stable. Ocean Baroque showed plenty of pace on two occasions over 6f in decent races at the Curragh before being collared. This drop back in trip could help his cause. Lightening Army also has the Railway Stakes entry. Staysound Susie showed up well in fourth on debut at Cork. An improved effort on this better ground could be forthcoming from Ten Sovereigns filly Asean. Strong Possibility is another newcomer to note.

I AM INVICTUS showed more than enough on debut to suggest he will win one of these sooner rather than later. Pearls And Rubies is an obvious newcomer to note, while Ocean Baroque would be in the mix if bouncing back to his debut form.

Michael O'Callaghan's I AM INVICTUS took on two useful types with previous experience at Naas and shaped well in the circumstances.

Dam, 2-y-o 5f winner, half-sister to smart 5f/6f winner Logo Hunter. 11/2, second of 12 in maiden at Haydock (6f, good) on debut 17 days ago, running on after meeting trouble. Open to progress and sets the bar pretty high. 11-2, suffered a troubled run when close 2nd of 12 in Haydock maiden (6f, good to firm).
2	7 2nd (7) (2.5/1 -33%) Warm Spell	2.5 2.5/1(-33%)	(7) Warm Spell 2.5/1, Foaled March 1. €170,000 foal, 260,000 gns yearling, Mehmas colt. Dam unraced half-sister to smart winner up to 6f Riflescope from family of Rainbow Quest. Noteworthy newcomer. 260,000gns yearling; powerful yard has had two good 2yo winners recently.

Dam 2-y-o 6f winner. Second of 4 in maiden (11/4) at Ayr (5f, good) on debut 34 days ago. Should progress. Gave experienced favourite plenty to think about in four-runner maiden at Ayr (5f, good).
4	3 4th (3) (7/1 +72%) Never Sell	7 7/1(+72%)	(3) Never Sell 7/1, Foaled March 1. €32,000 yearling, €90,000 2-y-o, Dabirsim colt. Dam, maiden placed up to 1¼m, half-sister to useful 1m-1¾m winner Cemhaan. Interesting newcomer. 90,000euros May (breeze-up) 2yo; second foal; dam placed half-sister to two useful winners.
5th	5 5th (5) (8/1 -100%) Soldier's Secret	8 8/1(-100%)	(5) Soldier's Secret 8/1, Foaled February 22. Kodiac colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart winner up to 1½m Ennistown and useful 1m-1½m winner Enfranchise. Dam, Irish 2-y-o 6f/7f winner (including Phoenix and Moyglare Stud Stakes), third in 1000 Guineas. Makes plenty of appeal on paper. Tenth foal; half-brother to six winners, three useful; needs a close look.
6th	2 6th (2) (14/1 +30%) Dark Fandango	14 14/1(+30%)	(2) Dark Fandango 14/1, €100,000 yearling, Dark Angel colt. Brother to useful 7f winner Bua.

Dam of little account, half-sister to very smart 8.4f-1½m winner Razkalla. 76/10, 14½ lengths sixth of 8 in newcomers race at Chantilly, left behind final 1f. Gelded since. Should do better. Unseated rider before well beaten in newcomers race at Chantilly (6f); gelded since.

LTO Selection:

Sennockian was just touched off on his Ayr debut and Charlie Johnston's colt looks set to mount another serious challenge. Blue Point has enjoyed a fruitful start to his career at stud and THUNDER BLUE, who chased home a useful prospect on his racecourse bow, could enhance that record further. 260,000gns purchase Warm Spell makes plenty of appeal on paper and is worth a market check, with this initial trip likely to suit.

THUNDER BLUE probably would have made a winning debut at Haydock had he not met some traffic and sets a high standard. Sennockian went close at Ayr first time up and is entitled to build on that, while all 3 newcomers have appealing profiles, notably Soldier's Secret.

With the best form and the most striking promise, THUNDER BLUE is preferred to Sennockian and the newcomer Warm Spell.

14:15 Punchestown Maiden Chase 24f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	6 1st (6) (0.62/1 +7%) Salvador Ziggy	0.62 0.62/1(+7%)	(6) Salvador Ziggy 0.62/1, Smart hurdler who ran a cracker under top weight when runner-up in Pertemps at Cheltenham (3m) in March. Seemingly not 100% when pulled up in Grade 1 on final start here in April but he's well worth a look now attentions switch to chasing on back of 46 days off. Very interesting recruit to chasing and the one to beat if his jumping holds up.
2	4 2nd (4) (2.75/1 -38%) Hubrisko	2.75 2.75/1(-38%)	(4) Hubrisko 2.75/1, Useful winner at 17f over hurdles. Third of 7 in novice chase (15/8) at Tipperary (23.8f, soft) on debut over fences 38 days ago, held when mistake last. Forecast quicker conditions here may well help and he's open to improvement in this sphere. Jumped poorly at Tipperary; sure to improve plenty for that and looks the one to beat.
3	2 3rd (2) (4.5/1 +36%) Caesar Rock	4.5 4.5/1(+36%)	(2) Caesar Rock 4.5/1, Fairly useful chaser. 10/1, creditable fifth of 11 in novice chase at Limerick (22.7f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Had plenty of chances in this sphere already but expected to be thereabouts returned to 3m. Two reasonable efforts on his return last month; needs more here but sure to run his race.
4	5 4th (5) (28/1 -56%) Riggs	28 28/1(-56%)	(5) Riggs 28/1, Fairly useful hurdler. First run since leaving John McConnell when seventh of 9 in minor event hurdle at this course (19.8f, good to soft, 125/1) 46 days ago. Makes chase debut. Back up in trip. Chasing debut here and needs to find improvement but worth watching.
5th	3 5th (3) (80/1 -60%) Dukehill	80 80/1(-60%)	(3) Dukehill 80/1, Winner in points who offered something to work on when fourth in 12-runner hunter chase at Limerick (22.5f) back in 2021. Arrives here fit from spell between the flags, pulled up last time (Apr 29). One win from 11 point-to-points; makes little appeal in this company.
1	1 \|F\| (1) (150/1 -50%) Asatisfiedmind	150 150/1(-50%)	(1) Asatisfiedmind 150/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, seventh of 15 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (21.1f, good to soft) 40 days ago. Makes chase debut. Unproven over the trip and up against it on his chase debut.

LTO Selection:

SALVADOR ZIGGY initiated a summer hurdling four-timer when landing a maiden at this venue just over a year ago and his standout effort over the smaller obstacles was when chasing home Good Time Jonny in the Pertemps Final at Cheltenham. He disappointed in a Grade 1 at the Festival meeting here in April but gets the vote to make a winning start over fences. Hubrisko is rated nearly a stone inferior to the selection over hurdles. He made mistakes when third at Tipperary last month but should have learned plenty from that chasing debut. Caesar Rock was second to the smart Panda Boy over C&D last year and has run two sound races since returning from a winter break. This will be his ninth chase start and he's likely to be ridden forward to try and put that experience to good use.

SALVADOR ZIGGY needs to shrug off a lesser effort over hurdles on his latest outing in April, yet his profile over hurdles prior to that was an upwardly mobile one and he could well be up to playing a lead role now chasing for his powerful yard. Hubrisko should build on his chase debut effort and is feared, as is Caesar Rock, who should appreciate this return to 3m.

The hurdles form of Pertemps Final runner-up SALVADOR ZIGGY sets the standard and he will take beating if he jumps well

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (8/1 -14%) Russian Virtue	8 8/1(-14%)	(4) Russian Virtue 8/1, Has thrived for this yard, completing the hat-trick over hurdles at Sedgefield in January. Scored again back on the Flat in March and shaped as though still in good form all 3 hurdles outings since. Triple hurdle and dual Flat winner since December; still in good form this spring; player.
2	2 2nd (2) (6.5/1 -44%) Garde Des Champs	6.5 6.5/1(-44%)	(2) Garde Des Champs 6.5/1, Maiden but he's been knocking on the door, hitting the game on his last 5 outings. Jumped left though when presented with what looked a good opening back in maiden company and that is a slight concern. 0-10 over hurdles but has made the frame five consecutive times; another good run likely.
3	1 3rd (1) (11/1 +21%) Well Planted	11 11/1(+21%)	(1) Well Planted 11/1, C&D winner a year ago but found only one too good on last month's Flat return having had a wind op. Needed to see more back here 10 days later to seriously consider him, though. C&D winner last spring; didn't fire here last month but still enters calculations.
4	8 4th (8) (6/1 +14%) Kilbrainy	6 6/1(+14%)	(8) Kilbrainy 6/1, Fair in bumpers and made a solid start to his handicap career over hurdles when second at Musselburgh (2½m) in November. Disappointed on his next couple of starts but much more like it when runner-up at Hexham 3 weeks ago and now has to be taken very seriously from just 2 lb higher. 0-12 but kept on well for second at Hexham last month and this track also suits.
5th	9 5th (9) (6.5/1 -30%) Just Dottie	6.5 6.5/1(-30%)	(9) Just Dottie 6.5/1, Offered little in bumper/on the Flat for Katie Scott but has found her feet for current stable, overcoming a slipping saddle when off the mark over C&D 24 days ago. Likely to give it another good go. Came good with clearcut C&D win last month and could still have more to offer.
6th	7 6th (7) (20/1 -25%) Excelcius	20 20/1(-25%)	(7) Excelcius 20/1, Fairly useful hurdler for Thomas Mullins in Ireland, successful 3 times in 2021. Hard to know how much ability he retains given limited impact for this yard but assessor giving him every chance. Cheekpieces back on. Didn't find much for pressure in Hexham seller last month; headgear switched again here.
7th	11 7th (11) (9/1 +25%) Malangen	9 9/1(+25%)	(11) Malangen 9/1, Successful twice at up to 2½m here last summer but out of sorts during the autumn. Hooded and likely he needed last month's reappearance at Hexham. Dual course winner last summer and back on a very tempting mark now; interesting.
8th	5 8th (5) (10/1 +50%) Balkalin	10 10/1(+50%)	(5) Balkalin 10/1, 11-y-o who has returned from 6 months off better than ever, doubling his tally under promising 7-lb claimer in 12-runner handicap hurdle at Kelso (20.9f, good to soft) last month. Shade disappointing at Hexham but Conor Rabbitt is back in the saddle. Late-maturing 11yo who doubled his tally last month; held since but not ruled out.
9th	12 9th (12) (6.5/1 +28%) Darkest Day	6.5 6.5/1(+28%)	(12) Darkest Day 6.5/1, Made all at Wetherby in March and has continued the good work at this venue twice since, runner-up on each occasion. Nudging back up the weights but clearly arrives in good nick. Runner-up twice here since his Wetherby win in March; can't be ignored.
10th	3 10th (3) (4.5/1 -13%) Ballinlough Gale	4.5 4.5/1(-13%)	(3) Ballinlough Gale 4.5/1, Flat winner who has yet to come good for Gordon Elliott but hasn't been with that excellent yard long. This slightly easier than some of the Irish races he's contested so he merits consideration. Comes here after two very respectable runs at Ballinrobe last month; one to consider.
11th	6 11th (6) (28/1 +58%) Faron	28 28/1(+58%)	(6) Faron 28/1, Dual hurdles winner for Joseph O'Brien last year and ended his time with that stable when second in a Ballinrobe handicap in August. Little to get excited about for current yard, though. Tongue tie removed. Well handicapped on last year's Irish form but badly out of sorts since the autumn.
12th	10 12th (10) (80/1 -142%) Willy Nilly	80 80/1(-142%)	(10) Willy Nilly 80/1, No real impact for Donald McCain and failed to show much on return from 10 months off for new yard here in August. Similar absence to overcome. Well beaten in C&D maiden on last summer's stable debut and not seen again since.

LTO Selection:

KILBRAINY finished runner-up by two and a half lengths last time at Hexham when he took a step back in distance, and that form reads well as the fourth went in next time. The son of Beat Hollow goes off only a 2lb higher rating and is fancied to be hard to beat. One to consider is Just Dottie, who easily accounted for his rivals over C&D last month when scoring by over four lengths and he can go well off 6lb higher. Russian Virtue is also of interest.

KILBRAINY bounced right back to his best when runner-up at Hexham 3 weeks ago and a repeat of that display may well see him register his first success. Russian Virtue and Just Dottie head the opposition.

It might be worth chancing dual course winner MALANGAN, who ran quite well last month, after a break, and is on a very good mark now.

Info	Form	Odds
1	5 1st (5) (4/1 +27%) Screen Siren	4 4/1(+27%)	(5) Screen Siren 4/1, Creditable third of 16 in handicap at this C&D (soft, 11/1) 29 days ago. Stepping back in the right direction. 2-21, placed five times, both wins have come over 5f at Cork, good C&D third on latest.
2	2 2nd (2) (6/1 +0%) Harmony Rose	6 6/1(+0%)	(2) Harmony Rose 6/1, Stepped up on reappearance to win 7-runner handicap at Dundalk (5f), all out. Off 107 days but she can remain competitive. One pound lower than for Dundalk win in February, hard to win with on turf, often placed.
3	6 3rd (6) (4.5/1 -13%) Lokada	4.5 4.5/1(-13%)	(6) Lokada 4.5/1, Latest win at Dundalk in November. 3/1, respectable fourth of 15 in handicap at Tipperary (5f, good) 12 days ago. Two 5f wins at Dundalk, running well on turf too, second over C&D and fourth at Tipperary.
4	3 4th (3) (4.5/1 -20%) Only Spoofing	4.5 4.5/1(-20%)	(3) Only Spoofing 4.5/1, 3-time C&D winner. Creditable seventh of 15 in handicap (20/1) at Tipperary (5f, good) 12 days ago, slowly away. Now needs to build on that slightly more promising effort. Three-time C&D winner, suited by good ground, signs of a return to form at Tipperary.
5th	4 5th (4) (5.5/1 +8%) Curraheen Princess	5.5 5.5/1(+8%)	(4) Curraheen Princess 5.5/1, 3-time C&D winner. Six wins from 21 Flat runs. 15/2, tenth of 15 in handicap at Tipperary (5f, good) 12 days ago, folding. Assessor given her a major chance. Has a fine record over C&D, needs to step up from her first two outings of the season.
6th	7 6th (7) (22/1 +56%) Sunday Sovereign	22 22/1(+56%)	(7) Sunday Sovereign 22/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. Well-beaten nineteenth of 20 to Tawaazon in handicap at this course (5.8f, heavy, 28/1) 50 days ago. Three-time winner, best form was as a precocious juvenile, in rear on both 2023 runs.
7th	1 7th (1) (3/1 +10%) Tawaazon	3 3/1(+10%)	(1) Tawaazon 3/1, Course winner. 20/1, career best when winning 15-runner handicap at the Curragh (6f, good to soft) 16 days ago, just holding on. Can give a good account from 2 lb higher given he's thriving. Winner of five of his nine races this joining this team in March, should be in the mix.

LTO Selection:

SCREEN SIREN didn't have the clearest route over C&D last month, but ran well in a keeping-on third. She was a length and a half behind runner-up Tawaazon, who boosted the form by winning a premier handicap at the Curragh on his next start. Screen Siren now has a big pull in the weights with Tawaazon, so has prospects of overturning the form. She is ground versatile, while Harmony Rose had always threatened to double her career total and the victory came at Dundalk in February. She is a consistent sort and the fact she races off 1lb lower than at Dundalk has to give her a good chance. Lokada has the least mileage on the clock in this field and has already won twice in Dundalk. Curraheen Princess hasn't been at her best this season, but her course form is compelling.

CURRAHEEN PRINCESS should be spot on fitness-wise on this third start back at the handicapper has been quick to drop her a chunk. She's therefore selected to take full advantage, possibly at the chief expense of the thriving Tawaazon and Lokada.

Both Tawaazon and Lokada have strong current claims, but ONLY SPOOFING has won three times over C&D and may come good again

1	2 1st (2) (1.2/1 +0%) Call Glory	1.2 1.2/1(+0%)	(2) Call Glory 1.2/1, Thrice-raced maiden, easily best run when fourth of 7 in seller at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm) 8 days ago. The one to beat. Close 4th of seven in seller at Musselburgh (5f) eight days ago; did his best work late on.
2	6 2nd (6) (3.5/1 +65%) Vidi Vici	3.5 3.5/1(+65%)	(6) Vidi Vici 3.5/1, Twice-raced maiden and only poor form shown thus far, eighth of 12 in minor event at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) 15 days ago. More is needed. Modest form over 5f at Chepstow and Salisbury; needs marked improvement..
3	3 3rd (3) (28/1 +44%) Eyeros	28 28/1(+44%)	(3) Eyeros 28/1, Twice-raced maiden. Last of 5 in minor event (40/1) at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward. Gelded after debut; this is much less demanding company but he has no form claims.
4	1 4th (1) (33/1 -10%) Birkie Boy	33 33/1(-10%)	(1) Birkie Boy 33/1, Only eighth of 9 to Profitable Dreams in maiden (33/1) at Chepstow (5.1f, good to firm) on debut 26 days ago. Lots more is needed. 33-1, no show in maiden at Chepstow (5f, good to soft) 26 days ago.
5th	4 5th (4) (1.75/1 -59%) Profitable Dreams	1.75 1.75/1(-59%)	(4) Profitable Dreams 1.75/1, Profitable filly whoo landed 9-runner maiden at Chepstow (5.1f, good to firm) 26 days ago. May do better still so she's well in the mix. Always prominent to score by a nose in maiden at Chepstow (5f) six days after debut.

LTO Selection:

PROFITABLE DREAMS had Vidi Vici (fifth) and Birkie Boy (eighth) well held when scoring by a nose at Chepstow, as she took a good step forward from her first outing. The daughter of Profitable will have quicker conditions to contend with this time, but that is unlikely to prevent her from securing a double. Torvar tries a first-time hood after running with credit into fifth at Redcar last time and he would be foolish to dismiss.

CALL GLORY holds the edge on the form of his recent Musselburgh fourth so is taken to get off the mark at the fourth attempt. Chepstow-scorer Profitable Dreams rates a big threat however if building on that success, with Torvar also in the mix if taking a step forward in a first-time hood.

The significant form belongs to PROFITABLE DREAMS and Call Glory who are preferred in that order.

2	4 2nd (4) (3.33/1 +17%) Birchdale	3.33 3.33/1(+17%)	(4) Birchdale 3.33/1, Running well when fell 2 out in handicap chase at Killarney (26f, good to soft, 11/1) 28 days ago, looking sure to be placed. Needs to back it up now. Every chance when falling two out in the Killarney National; should be on the premises.
3	5 3rd (5) (6/1 +20%) Pat Coyne	6 6/1(+20%)	(5) Pat Coyne 6/1, Three wins from 8 runs last season. 14/1, possibly amiss when pulled up in handicap chase at Killarney (26f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Bounce back is required. Disapointing latest; still has it to prove off this mark and others look more likely.
4	8 4th (8) (3.33/1 +58%) Clounts Pride	3.33 3.33/1(+58%)	(8) Clounts Pride 3.33/1, 25/1, career best when winning 14-runner novice chase at Limerick (19.7f, good to soft) 17 days ago. The one to beat with very few miles on the clock Very lightly raced for his years and unexposed; could go well despite being 3lb wrong.
5th	2 5th (2) (14/1 -17%) Take All	14 14/1(-17%)	(2) Take All 14/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. Pulled up in handicap chase (14/1) at Kilbeggan (19.1f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Weighted to go well if getting back on track. Touched off in a Limerick handicap in March but well held twice since; others preferred.
6th	6 6th (6) (4/1 +11%) Archies Charm	4 4/1(+11%)	(6) Archies Charm 4/1, 4/1, failed to last home when fifth of 13 in handicap chase at Downpatrick (28.6f, heavy) 70 days ago. Back down in trip and needs considering. Well below form at Downpatrick two months ago when Ulster National favourite.
7th	3 7th (3) (5/1 +0%) Irascible	5 5/1(+0%)	(3) Irascible 5/1, Useful winner at 17f over hurdles. Running well when fell last in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (24.6f, soft, 10/1) 62 days ago. Considered. This trip should suit and has a chance off this mark if he handles the better ground.

LTO Selection:

This trip might be a bare minimum for ARCHIES CHARM but, by contrast, 3m4f was too far when he failed to justify favouritism in the Ulster National at his local track of Downpatrick. He's had time to recover from those exertions and his previous two runs against subsequent Cheltenham festival winners were very creditable. Ben Bromley has enjoyed plenty of success across the water and his claim leaves the selection on a lovely racing weight. Birchdale was bang in contention when coming down two out at Killarney. That was over a longer distance but he won a valuable handicap over this trip at Leopardstown last year and is only 1lb higher here. Pat Coyne was pulled up in that Killarney contest but had won over hurdles prior to that and was a dual handicap chase winner on good ground last summer. Take All needs to bounce back from recent efforts but went close at Limerick in March and was a fine second over a bit further here in November.

CLOUNTS PRIDE rates the pick of the weights on the form of his Limerick success and can follow up with very few miles still on the clock. Archies Charm should find this return to a shorter trip in his favour and is next on the list ahead of Irascible, who can bounce back from his late Fairyhouse fall.

The one to beat is BIRCHDALE (nap) who ran well in a big handicap chase over this trip and had every chance when falling at Killarney

Should go well again back chasing. Runner-up in two chases last month and a recent hurdle; probably on the premises again.
2	2 2nd (2) (2.75/1 +21%) Victory Echo	2.75 2.75/1(+21%)	(2) Victory Echo 2.75/1, Going through a good spell at present with Conor Rabbitt in the saddle, making it 3 wins (plus 2 placed efforts) from his last 5 starts at Market Rasen 10 days ago. Big player in his current mood. Resurgent front-runner who has already won three times (twice over C&D) this spring.
3	7 3rd (7) (6/1 +0%) Castletown	6 6/1(+0%)	(7) Castletown 6/1, Chase winner at Kelso over a year ago and has reached the frame on all 9 subsequent starts. Likely to be thereabouts again for all he remains opposable for win purposes (no battler). Consistent 11yo who reverts to chasing after making the frame in two hurdles this spring.
4	3 4th (3) (7.5/1 +6%) Diegos Way	7.5 7.5/1(+6%)	(3) Diegos Way 7.5/1, Winner in chase at Bangor in October. Generally held form well since and capable of making presence felt. Ran okay an Down Royal last month but confidence in him would be higher on slower ground.
5th	8 5th (8) (20/1 +39%) Sir Apollo	20 20/1(+39%)	(8) Sir Apollo 20/1, Both wins in handicap chases at Sedgefield, the latest in first-time blinkers in February (26.9f). However, has been let down by his jumping of late, including both starts for this yard. Has poor completion record over fences since wide-margin Sedgefield win in February.

Well held back from a break last 2 starts but was amiss (struck into) last time. Returned from break with two underwhelming runs but this C&D winner is on a workable mark.

4	4 \|PU\| (4) (16/1 +20%) Big Difference	16 16/1(+20%)	(4) Big Difference 16/1, Won a couple of small-field handicap chases last season but lost his form and fared no better after 5 months off at Newcastle. Two small-field wins last year (one over C&D); needs to prove his wellbeing.

LTO Selection:

Victory Echo is in fine form as he has recorded a quick-fire double in the last month and the 10-year-old could continue his upward curve to be a big player. However, preference is for the Gordon Elliot-trained WALKING THE WALK, who switches back to this sphere after filling the runner-up spot over hurdles at Down Royal last time and he can go one better on this occasion. The Ferry Master struck in this grade last time and has to be considered.

WALKING THE WALK has been holding his form well in Ireland and should make another bold bid given his stable's excellent record at this track. The thriving Victory Echo is an obvious threat, while The Ferry Master remains well treated if building on his recent win at Kelso.

Still well handicapped after a 2lb rise for his recent Kelso win, THE FERRY MASTER (nap) can better that performance over today's trip.

13th	5 13th (5) (16/1 +20%) Adams Barbour	16 16/1(+20%)	(5) Adams Barbour 16/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Sixteenth of 21 in handicap (50/1) at the Curragh (6.3f, good) 4 days ago. Back down in trip. All seven wins have been on the AW, 0-15 on turf, down the field on Wednesday.
14th	3 14th (3) (14/1 +44%) Ever Rock	14 14/1(+44%)	(3) Ever Rock 14/1, C&D winner. Fourteenth of 17 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, heavy, 22/1) 78 days ago. Won on yielding-to-soft over C&D last September, most of her best form on good ground.
15th	19 15th (19) (16/1 -14%) Sin E Shekells	16 16/1(-14%)	(19) Sin E Shekells 16/1, Remains a maiden after 33 Flat runs. Bit below form fourth of 18 in handicap at Fairyhouse (6f, good, 14/1) 10 days ago. Fair form in recent months but hard to be confident bearing in mind his 0-33 record.
16th	6 16th (6) (6.5/1 +46%) Shoebox King	6.5 6.5/1(+46%)	(6) Shoebox King 6.5/1, Bit below form sixth of 15 in handicap at Tipperary (5f, good, 17/2) 12 days ago. Deserved his breakthrough win at Down Royal last autumn, fair sixth at Tipperary on latest.

18th	2 18th (2) (16/1 +0%) Senor Carrots	16 16/1(+0%)	(2) Senor Carrots 16/1, Winner at Dundalk in April. Thirteenth of 15 in handicap at Tipperary (5f, good, 25/1) 12 days ago, slowly away. Blinkered for 1st time. Went up 10lb for a breakthrough win at Dundalk in April, moderate turf form since then.
19th	8 19th (8) (11/1 +56%) Maggie Thunder	11 11/1(+56%)	(8) Maggie Thunder 11/1, Nineteen runs since last win in 2021. 28/1, first run since leaving P. J. Hassett when below form eighth of 14 in handicap at Listowel (6.3f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Back down in trip. Three wins have all come on AW, turf record of 0-20 represents a significant concern.

LTO Selection:

Denis Hogan's AUTUMNAL BREEZE is on an appealing mark. She showed a real aptitude for quick ground when powering home to win over this trip on seasonal reappearance in Tipperary at the end of last month. She actually races off 2lb lower with Sean Bowen's 7lb claim factored in. Realtin Fantasy is very much one for each-way players to home in on. She ran a solid race in fifth in a higher grade at Tipperary after more than seven months off. The handicapper has dropped her by 3lb. Senor Carrots has been given a chance by the handicapper and an improved run in first-time blinkers wouldn't be surprising. Hogan also has chances with Peerless and American In Paris. Daintree and Silver Nemo will have their backers.

AUTUMNAL BREEZE was suited by the strong pace when making a winning return at Tipperary 12 days ago and this unexposed 3-y-o can follow up in this big field with the assistance of a good-value apprentice. Her stablemate Peerless and veteran Teddy Boy head the dangers.

In an open race REALTIN FANTASY is put forward as an each-way option. She has a narrow edge over Shoebox King on Tipperary running

1	1 1st (1) (0.57/1 +8%) Al Asifah	0.57 0.57/1(+8%)	(1) Al Asifah 0.57/1, Frankel filly who landed the odds in impressive fashion on her debut in 6-runner maiden at Haydock (10.2f, good) 17 days ago. Has plenty more to offer so she's firmly in the picture despite this big step up in grade. Had only five rivals in Haydock maiden (1m2f, good to firm) but looked a smart prospect.
2	5 2nd (5) (9/1 -38%) Empress Wu	9 9/1(-38%)	(5) Empress Wu 9/1, Sea The Moon filly who made a successful start in 10f Lingfield maiden and built on that despite beating only one in Musidora Stakes at York (10.2f) 25 days ago. Hood on 1st time. Should have more to offer. Possibilities. Failed to settle in the Musidora; hooded now and could prove capable of a fair bit better.
3	8 3rd (8) (7/1 -17%) Sumo Sam	7 7/1(-17%)	(8) Sumo Sam 7/1, Nathaniel filly who scored on her debut at Newmarket before posting an excellent second in 10f listed race there. Possibly found the run coming too quickly when only fifth of 6 in 1m4f novice there last time and can bounce back. Big shout. Flopped on latest outing; big player if first-time tongue-tie sees a return to form.
4	4 4th (4) (16/1 +11%) Elegancia	16 16/1(+11%)	(4) Elegancia 16/1, Twice-raced Lope De Vega filly who resumed with a promising fourth of 6 in minor event at Ascot (8f, good) 39 days ago. She can progress again over this longer trip but this is a difficult ask. Plenty to find on form but pedigree and performance suggest this longer trip will suit.
5th	3 5th (3) (33/1 -18%) Crystallium	33 33/1(-18%)	(3) Crystallium 33/1, Fairly useful dual 7f scorer as a juvenile but she's yet to hit top form in two runs this term, beating only one in 7f Newmarket listed race last month. Others appeal more. Six races over 7f; far from clear whether this extra 3f will help her return to her best.
6th	6 6th (6) (20/1 +29%) Ermesinde	20 20/1(+29%)	(6) Ermesinde 20/1, Made a winning debut at Lingfield in February and placed on both runs since, well-held third of 8 in listed Cheshire Oaks at Chester (11.3f, heavy) 32 days ago. Remains with potential but she needs to take a big step forward. Could still be capable of better after Cheshire Oaks third but needs to be in a major way..
7th	7 7th (7) (6/1 +57%) High Spirited	6 6/1(+57%)	(7) High Spirited 6/1, Progressive Belardo filly who got off the mark in 13-runner maiden (11/1) at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 20 days ago. This is much tougher but she's no forlorn hope. No certainty to get 1m2f but looked capable of better when winning a 1m Windsor maiden.

LTO Selection:

The manner in which AL ASIFAH demolished the field on her debut in a Haydock maiden last month suggests this daughter of Frankel has a very bright future ahead. Her dam is a half-sister to Group 1 winner Awtaad, who himself claimed a success at this level as he progressed through the ranks. The Gosdens know exactly what it takes to prepare a winner of this race and further success could be at hand. Ermesinde faced a stiff test in the Cheshire Oaks last time and is feared most, although Sumo Sam is dangerous to underestimate.

SUMO SAM possesses much the best form on show and this imposing Nathaniel filly is taken to bounce back in style from a poor recent showing at Newmarket when possibly finding the race coming too quickly. Al Asifah looked a bright prospect when making a winning start at Haydock and rates a big threat while Empress Wu can emerge as best of the rest and claim minor honours.

Today's opposition is much more demanding but AL ASIFAH made a big impression when winning her maiden and looks a very bright prospect.

Eighth of 12 in handicap hurdle (14/1) at Wexford (17f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Booking of Moore a plus. Cheekpieces back on. Not completely dismissed. Modest of late and an overall strike-rate of 2-58 further reduces her appeal.

11th	6 11th (6) (7.5/1 +6%) Maggie Walsh	7.5 7.5/1(+6%)	(6) Maggie Walsh 7.5/1, Improved to win 14-runner handicap hurdle at Tramore (16.8f, good, 6/1) 8 days ago. Quick turnaround isn't ideal but still makes plenty of appeal. Didn't win doing handsprings at Tramore and has gone up 6lb, but at least in form.

20th	19 20th (19) (20/1 +29%) Flashthelights	20 20/1(+29%)	(19) Flashthelights 20/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, ninth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (17.4f, good to soft, 6/1) 11 days ago.

21st	7 21st (7) (25/1 +24%) Unheralded	25 25/1(+24%)	(7) Unheralded 25/1, Seventh of 18 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (22f, good to soft, 12/1) 16 days ago. Others make more appeal. Too keen and didn't last home over 2m6f at Limerick the last twice; each-way claims.
22nd	14 22nd (14) (11/1 -57%) Doyen For A Drink	11 11/1(-57%)	(14) Doyen For A Drink 11/1, Promising individual. 16/1, fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (17f, good to soft) 22 days ago, closing all way to line. Likely improver who could be worth chancing. Left maiden form behind to finish a 5l fourth in a 2m1f handicap at Wexford.
8	8 \|DQ\| (8) (25/1 -14%) Attitash	25 25/1(-14%)	(8) Attitash 25/1, 40/1, fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (20.4f, good) 9 days ago. Could get competitive again despite the quick turnaround. Off a reduced mark he ran better at Down Royal (2m4f, good) when just behind Serpolette.

LTO Selection:

The Sean Doyle-trained IURKASH was an eye-catcher when a never nearer third to Maggie Walsh at Tramore last weekend, and over this longer trip he might be able to reverse the form. While Doyle mostly trains point-to-pointers, he has had plenty of track success in recent years, with Lucky Max and Monbeg Park his flagbearers. Danny Gilligan is a significant jockey booking aboard the selection and he claims a valuable 7lb. A case can be made for many others in this very competitive heat. The aforementioned Maggie Walsh went up just 6lb for her recent win and she could well follow up with Aidan Kelly again on board. Crafty Gael, Serpolette, Emily In Paris and Nasee will all be bidding to go a place better than last time, while top-weight Leish Oscar Son is an interesting contender on his debut for Gavin Cromwell. Brehon Star, Attitash and Depeche Mo are others for the shortlist.

DOYEN FOR A DRINK finished to good effect when fourth at Wexford on handicap debut and, with the longer trip likely to draw further improvement out of her, she gets the vote in a competitive affair. Maggie Walsh and Iurkash are two of several rivals who arrive in good order.

It was little wonder that NASEE couldn't keep tabs on the winner here last time given what Reflectionist then did at Limerick.

1	3 1st (3) (6.5/1 -160%) Cedar Hill	6.5 6.5/1(-160%)	(3) Cedar Hill 6.5/1, Very good second of 5 in handicap chase at Kelso (17.1f, good to soft, 6/1) 32 days ago. Goes well at that track but should take all the beating if he can replicate that form. Put in a good shift to finish a close second of five runners at Kelso last time.
2	2 2nd (2) (5.5/1 +15%) Golden Taipan	5.5 5.5/1(+15%)	(2) Golden Taipan 5.5/1, Won a couple of small-field handicaps here last summer and has shaped as if working up his fitness recently, so no surprise if he mounts a revival. Getting back on drier ground is a major plus and he won this last year off a similar mark.
3	5 3rd (5) (3.5/1 +46%) Sword Of Fate	3.5 3.5/1(+46%)	(5) Sword Of Fate 3.5/1, C&D winner who scored at Wetherby in April. Often goes well at this time of year but latest effort at Cartmel tempers enthusiasm. Has form at Cartmel so his run there 11 days ago was disappointing.
4	4 4th (4) (2.2/1 +37%) Hidden Commander	2.2 2.2/1(+37%)	(4) Hidden Commander 2.2/1, Boasts a fine strike rate over fences and ran with credit when second at Kelso recently, so expected to be thereabouts again. All five wins have come on left-handed tracks but hard to rule out after latest second.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (2.5/1 -25%) Happy D'ex	2.5 2.5/1(-25%)	(1) Happy D'ex 2.5/1, Fairly useful chaser who was a bit underwhelming at Killarney last time but will likely have been primed for a big run on first go in handicaps in this sphere. First handicap of any nature and, while apparently not thrown in, should give good account.

LTO Selection:

HAPPY D'EX justified favouritism when winning on her last raid here over hurdles in September and Gordon Elliott's mare looks to be on a fair mark on this handicap bow over fences. Cedar Hill is only 1lb higher than his runner-up effort at Kelso last month and the nine-year-old is feared most, ahead of Hidden Commander, who returned to form when second at that same venue last time too.

CEDAR HILL arrives on the back of a good effort at Kelso and is narrowly preferred to Happy d'Ex who switches to handicaps for the first time over fences. Golden Taipan goes well here and also merits consideration.

Provided the ground does not go softer than good, GOLDEN TAIPAN should have every chance of repeating last year's win in this race.

Step forward needed here but she's almost guaranteed to improve. Readily dealt with weak opposition on debut in a 7f maiden at Gowran, big rise in class.
2	1 2nd (1) (3.5/1 +30%) Cigamia	3.5 3.5/1(+30%)	(1) Cigamia 3.5/1, Useful filly. Looked unsuited by longer trip when 6 lengths ninth of 16 to Paris Peacock in Denny Cordell Lavarack & Lanwades Stud Fillies Stakes at Gowran (9.4f, good to soft, 11/2). Off 8 months.

Good 3 lengths sixth of 13 to Above The Curve in Blandford Stakes at the Curragh (10f, heavy, 33/1). Off 9 months. Trip may be shorter than optimum but she's expected to be bang there nonetheless. Progressive at three, went very close in a Listed race, ran respectably in a Group 2 event.
4	5 4th (5) (6.5/1 +46%) Giladah	6.5 6.5/1(+46%)	(5) Giladah 6.5/1, Useful filly. 5½ lengths sixth of 7 to Moon De Vega in listed race (8/1) at Leopardstown (9f, good) 3 days ago. Yard in good form but has struggled both of her previous outings in listed company. Won three of her four starts handicaps last term, progress seems to have halted this year.
5th	10 5th (10) (10/1 +17%) Maybe Just Maybe	10 10/1(+17%)	(10) Maybe Just Maybe 10/1, Fairly useful filly. Satisfactory return when third of 6 in minor event (7/2) at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Yard in good form. Blinkers on 1st time. Solid frame claims. Failed to rise to the challenge in Pattern races at two, seasonal debut was inconclusive.
6th	2 6th (2) (33/1 -65%) Beautiful Sunshine	33 33/1(-65%)	(2) Beautiful Sunshine 33/1, Useful filly. Produced a couple of good efforts at this level last season and ran well when fourth of 8 in handicap at Dundalk (8f, 33/1). Off 107 days. Merits consideration. Useful filly, limited at this level, not in first three in nine attempts in stakes races.
7th	9 7th (9) (2.25/1 +10%) Dower House	2.25 2.25/1(+10%)	(9) Dower House 2.25/1, Fairly useful filly. 100/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, 12 lengths eighth of 10 to Tahiyra in Irish 1000 Guineas at the Curragh (8f, good) 14 days ago. Respected down in grade. Superb pedigree, Listed-placed over further before ambitious Irish 1,000 Guineas run.
8th	4 8th (4) (18/1 +28%) Esculenta	18 18/1(+28%)	(4) Esculenta 18/1, Fairly useful filly. 15/2, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Gowran (8f, soft) 32 days ago, having benefit of enterprising ride. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Must improve in this grade. Narrow winner of a handicap off 84, needs to find a lot more to feature in this grade.
9th	7 9th (7) (12/1 -20%) Beginnings	12 12/1(-20%)	(7) Beginnings 12/1, Fairly useful filly. Impressive winner at Dundalk on second start but disappointing in Group 3/listed races since. Blinkers on 1st time. 7f Dundalk maiden winner, fair run in Group 3 at Deauville before poor effort at Gowran.
10th	6 10th (6) (80/1 -142%) Inishnee	80 80/1(-142%)	(6) Inishnee 80/1, Useful filly. First run since leaving M. Delcher Sanchez when well-beaten last of 9 to Laurel in listed race at Kempton (8f) on yard debut 62 days ago. Hood on 1st time , tongue strap back on. Lots to prove. Winner and Listed-placed over 1m in France, a great deal to prove after Kempton run.

LTO Selection:

DIDN'THAVEMUCHTODO is taken to make a winning return. She won twice over this trip in Naas and Killarney last season before being edged out by a neck over an extended 1m1f in a Listed contest at Gowran Park. The Highland Reel filly then signed off with sixth in a Group 2 over 1m2f at the Curragh in September. She holds a Group 1 entry for the Curragh next month which shows the regard she is held in. Aidan O'Brien fields three horses and they cannot be ruled out. Beginnings could be a different proposition on this better ground, and in blinkers, after failing to put her best foot forward on yielding going at Gowran Park. Dower House should find these waters calmer than the Irish 1,000 Guineas where she finished eighth. Cadeau Belle is the dark horse after winning on debut in a fillies' maiden at Gowran Park in May.

DIDN'THAVEMUCHTODO was gradually progressive last season and should have enough in hand on these terms to make the drop back to1m a successful one. Dower House was down the field in the Irish 1000 Guineas last time but could make greater impact at this level, whilst Beautiful Sunshine ran a fine race at Dundalk when last seen and can complete the placings.

Ryan Moore's mount DOWER HOUSE may take advantage of this return to a more realistic level after contesting the Irish 1,000 Guineas

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (8.5/1 +23%) Good Earth	8.5 8.5/1(+23%)	(1) Good Earth 8.5/1, Bounced back to form when second of 7 in handicap (13/2) at Redcar (5f, good to soft) 20 days ago. In the mix off the same mark. Runner-up at Redcar three weeks ago & this stiffer 5f is in his favour; possible contender.
2	3 2nd (3) (10/1 -11%) Shalaa Asker	10 10/1(-11%)	(3) Shalaa Asker 10/1, Already a three-time winner this year, latest at Chelmsford City in April. Posted another good effort when third of 9 at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 6 days ago so needs considering with cheekpieces back on. He's 0-19 on turf but ran well on AW on Monday and has a lower mark on grass.
3	7 3rd (7) (7/1 -40%) Le Beau Garcon	7 7/1(-40%)	(7) Le Beau Garcon 7/1, C&D winner who shaped well when third of 7 in handicap at Catterick (5f, good to firm) 9 days ago, nearest finish after a slow start (blindfold removed late). Big shout from his number one draw. Encouraging third at Catterick given blindfold was removed late; could play a leading role.
4	10 4th (10) (7/1 -8%) Mattice	7 7/1(-8%)	(10) Mattice 7/1, Looks to be working his way back to form and is best excused his latest ninth of 11 at Thirsk (6f, good) 22 days ago when not ideally placed. Weighted to go well off a falling mark and drawn low too. Well treated on form as recent as last autumn but hasn't hit the same heights this year.
5th	16 5th (16) (25/1 -25%) Ventura Flame	25 25/1(-25%)	(16) Ventura Flame 25/1, C&D winner but he came in last of 8 in handicap here 45 days ago. It's now twelve runs since his last success in 2022. Disappointing over C&D in April last time but has a strong C&D record otherwise.
6th	12 6th (12) (25/1 -79%) Saaheq	25 25/1(-79%)	(12) Saaheq 25/1, Resumed winning ways in 5f handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 17 days ago. This 6 lb rise demands more however and he's drawn high. Two AW wins this spring; needs to transfer his revival back to turf but that's possible.
7th	13 7th (13) (7.5/1 +32%) May Blossom	7.5 7.5/1(+32%)	(13) May Blossom 7.5/1, C&D winner who comes here on the back of a respectable second of 8 in handicap at Carlisle (5f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Can give another good account. Back to form recently with this visor back on and she's a dual C&D winner.
8th	4 8th (4) (14/1 +0%) Reigning Profit	14 14/1(+0%)	(4) Reigning Profit 14/1, Has hit the ground running this year, making it 3 wins at Ripon (5f) in May. Not disgraced when ninth of 14 at York (5f) last time. Eased 1lb here and he's shortlisted despite his high draw. Three wins this spring then midfield in York Class 2 latest; drops back down in grade here.
9th	14 9th (14) (22/1 +12%) Show Me Show Me	22 22/1(+12%)	(14) Show Me Show Me 22/1, Fair 5f winner in 2022. Yet to fire in two runs this term though, only fourteenth of 16 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward. Well beaten on both runs this year but same story last season before good third at 33-1.
10th	17 10th (17) (14/1 -17%) Muker	14 14/1(-17%)	(17) Muker 14/1, Landed his first success since his juvenile days on just his third start for current yard in 8-runner handicap at Ayr (5f, good) 18 days ago. Up 5 lb but he remains well treated on old form and ought to go well again. Won at Ayr last month; now 5lb higher in hotter race but remains well treated on old form.
11th	5 11th (5) (10/1 +0%) Jordan Electrics	10 10/1(+0%)	(5) Jordan Electrics 10/1, Has made a fine start for his current yard and arrives on a hat0trick after 5f wins at Ayr and Hamilton last month. Up another 3 lb but he can't be taken lightly in his current mood. With a new stable this year and has won his last two; could have more to offer.
12th	8 12th (8) (5/1 +38%) Majeski Man	5 5/1(+38%)	(8) Majeski Man 5/1, Better than ever and bids for a hat-trick after wins over C&D and at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Merits serious consideration despite taking a 4lb rise. Has won his last two; this is tougher but he's at the top of his game and is respected.
13th	6 13th (6) (33/1 -18%) Object	33 33/1(-18%)	(6) Object 33/1, Winless since 2021 and he came in only ninth of 11 to Jordan Electrics in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good) 28 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Promising third at Thirsk on second stable start but down the field at Hamilton since.
14th	9 14th (9) (6/1 +8%) Papa Cocktail	6 6/1(+8%)	(9) Papa Cocktail 6/1, Is on a roll and completed his hat-trick at Carlisle (5.8f) 20 days ago. This smooth traveller still looks to have more to offer so he's well in the mix despite a high berth. Smooth wins over 6f on last three starts and he could still be ahead of the handicapper.
15th	11 15th (11) (40/1 -60%) Catch Cunningham	40 40/1(-60%)	(11) Catch Cunningham 40/1, Fair 5f winner at his best but he's yet to hit top form this seasoin, tried blinkered when last of 7 in handicap at Haydock (5f, good) 17 days ago. Others appeal more. He's 3lb lower than for his last win last September but has struggled this season.
16th	2 16th (2) (28/1 +30%) Resilience	28 28/1(+30%)	(2) Resilience 28/1, Four-time winner last year but he came in only fourteenth of 15 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, soft) 42 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Continues to drop down weights but has something to prove after heavy Musselburgh defeat.
17th	15 17th (15) (50/1 -25%) Murbih	50 50/1(-25%)	(15) Murbih 50/1, Scored at Wolverhampton in March but his form has been in and out since, last of 10 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, heavy) 36 days ago. Others appeal more. Two AW wins this year but his record on turf isn't particularly convincing (0-9).

LTO Selection:

PAPA COCKTAIL completed a hat-trick at Carlisle over 6f last month and Stella Barclay's strong traveller could have enough speed to gain a first success over 5f here, despite a further 3lb rise. Le Beau Garcon returned to form when staying on into third at Catterick last Friday and this C&D winner is feared most, ahead of Majeski Man, who arrives in fine form as he seeks to land a three-timer.

MATTICE had looked to be coming to the boil before not enjoying the rub of the green when ninth at Thirsk last time so is fancied to capitalise on an attractive mark from his low draw. Le Beau Garcon also has a favourable berth so this C&D winner rates a big threat on the back of his eye-catching Catterick third. Hat-trick seeking Majeski Man can also have a say along with the rejuvenated Muker.

The strong-travelling PAPA COCKTAIL (nap) has won in style on his last three starts and there could still be mileage in his mark.

15:55 Goodwood Handicap (Class 3) 16f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (2.5/1 +38%) Pons Aelius	2.5 2.5/1(+38%)	(6) Pons Aelius 2.5/1, Successful 4 times during a busy 2022, culminating in success in London Stayers' Final at Kempton (2m) in December. Creditable efforts so far this year, finding only one too good at Chester recently, and another bold showing seems likely. Very reliable this term; lost out by just a head at Chester (2m) on latest outing.
2	7 2nd (7) (12/1 +0%) Mostly Sunny	12 12/1(+0%)	(7) Mostly Sunny 12/1, Back on track when seventh at Chester a month and reacted well to blinkers last season, so looks of interest with the headgear back on. Unraced on firmer than good; needs another step back up the ladder.
3	3 3rd (3) (3.33/1 +33%) First Emperor	3.33 3.33/1(+33%)	(3) First Emperor 3.33/1, Won twice on AW at this sort of trip earlier this year and resumed winning ways in good style over C&d 16 days ago. Solid claims once more. Consistent over 2m on AW this year and broke his duck on turf (C&D) on latest outing.
4	2 4th (2) (6/1 +50%) Zain Nights	6 6/1(+50%)	(2) Zain Nights 6/1, Useful and consistent handicapper who won at Newbury under William Buick last summer. Respectable effort when well-held third on reappearance there but disappointing at York last time. Made all at Newbury (1m6f, good to firm) last July off 3lb lower; others a bit more solid.
5th	1 5th (1) (4.5/1 -29%) Aggagio	4.5 4.5/1(-29%)	(1) Aggagio 4.5/1, 4-time course winner. 13/2, creditable second of 8 in handicap at this course (14f, good to firm) 15 days ago, having run of race. Dangerous if allowed his own way in front. 4-6 at this track and good second to a hot favourite here (good to firm) on latest outing.
6th	4 6th (4) (4.5/1 -80%) Mountain Road	4.5 4.5/1(-80%)	(4) Mountain Road 4.5/1, Ended last season on the up, winning a pair of Chelmsford handicaps at up to 2m and resumed with an encouraging fourth (poorly placed) at Haydock recently. Big player if the pace is sound. May yet prove as good on turf as AW; well handicapped if he does today.
7th	5 7th (5) (33/1 -136%) Monsieur Lambrays	33 33/1(-136%)	(5) Monsieur Lambrays 33/1, Temperamental sort who made a positive start for his new yard when second at Ascot on return, faring best of those ridden patiently. Needs everything to drop right, though. Short-headed at Ascot (2m) on first attempt for new connections, finishing well.

LTO Selection:

AGGAGIO found only the unbeaten Courage Mon Ami too strong here in late-May and Gary Moore's five-year-old is potentially well in off just 1lb higher. Mountain Road looked one to follow last season and it's too early to be writing him off. The son of Churchill likely has more to come and could emerge as the main challenger, ahead of First Emperor, who is only 4lb higher than his authoritative success over C&D last time.

This is highly competitive for a 7-runner race and AGGAGIO is a tentative choice in the hope that he's not pressed too hard for the lead. Pons Aelius is a likeable type who deserves respect and Mountain Road should feature if they go an end-to-end gallop.

Having bumped into a smart, unexposed rival here last time, AGGAGIO (nap) can return to the Goodwood winner's enclosure today.

Info	Form	Odds
1	10 1st (10) (5.5/1 -38%) Warm In Gorey	5.5 5.5/1(-38%)	(10) Warm In Gorey 5.5/1, Creditable second of 14 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (17.4f, good to soft, 4/1) 11 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Can give a good account. Good second in a handicap hurdle at Wexford 11 days ago; obvious player on that form.
2	8 2nd (8) (6/1 -100%) Rathnaleen Kal	6 6/1(-100%)	(8) Rathnaleen Kal 6/1, Winner in hurdle at Clonmel in May. Creditable third of 17 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (19f, good to soft, 9/4) 16 days ago. On the upgrade recently. Big shout. Clonmel winner and solid Limerick run; should make the market and one of the ones to beat.
3	6 3rd (6) (2.2/1 +60%) Fancy A Cosmo	2.2 2.2/1(+60%)	(6) Fancy A Cosmo 2.2/1, Good second of 13 in claiming hurdle at this course (19.4f, good to soft, 16/1) 19 days ago. Can make presence felt. Narrowly beaten in a claiming hurdle here last month; up 2lb but has a chance if repeating.
4	5 4th (5) (11/1 -83%) Big Island	11 11/1(-83%)	(5) Big Island 11/1, Creditable seventh of 14 in handicap hurdle (11/2) at Clonmel (16.2f, soft) 31 days ago. Up in trip. Not ruled out. Slow to come down the handicap; not beaten far at Clonmel last time; each-way chance.
5th	2 5th (2) (12/1 +52%) Rock On Seamie	12 12/1(+52%)	(2) Rock On Seamie 12/1, One win from 25 NH runs. Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Below form sixteenth of 25 in handicap hurdle at this course (19.8f, good to soft, 40/1) 46 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Should come on for his run here at the festival after six months off; others preferred.
6th	7 6th (7) (12/1 +40%) Custers Mistake	12 12/1(+40%)	(7) Custers Mistake 12/1, Twelfth of 14 in handicap (40/1) at Listowel (16.2f, good) 7 days ago, not ideally placed. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Back up in trip. Difficult ask. Engaged Punchestown 5.25 Saturday. Third in a maiden hurdle here yesterday over two; interesting if he turns out again.
7th	1 7th (1) (10/1 -54%) Mica Malpic	10 10/1(-54%)	(1) Mica Malpic 10/1, Two wins from 6 runs last season. 9/2, creditable third of 11 in handicap chase at Galway (22.5f, heavy). Off 7 months. Switches from chase to hurdles. Much respected on his handicap hurdle debut. Off seven months and likely that this is a pipe-opener ahead of a return to fences.
8th	3 8th (3) (7.5/1 +38%) Doctor Churchill	7.5 7.5/1(+38%)	(3) Doctor Churchill 7.5/1, Bit below form tenth of 18 in handicap hurdle (12/1) at Cork (20f, good to soft) 36 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Failed to match his best at Cork last month; capable of a big run but others preferred.
9th	9 9th (9) (18/1 -13%) Lariat	18 18/1(-13%)	(9) Lariat 18/1, 22/1, fair sixth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (20.4f, good) 9 days ago. Nees to build on it. Mid-division in a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Down Royal last week; others preferred.
10th	4 10th (4) (11/1 +8%) Halsafari	11 11/1(+8%)	(4) Halsafari 11/1, Thirty five runs since last win in 2019. 18/1, thirteenth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Cork (20f, good to soft) 36 days ago. Touched off in handicap hurdle here in November from 7lb higher; would prefer it softer.

LTO Selection:

Beaten by just half a length into second over the course and distance last month, FANCY A COSMO might be able to go a place better now. Placed four times in a row back in 2021, the six-year-old has obviously had setbacks and ran just once throughout last year. With two track wins to her name, Emily Cody takes the ride on the selection for her uncle Ray and she claims a valuable 7lb. Jody Townend is a significant jockey booking on Doctor Churchill, with this Cormac Farrell-trained bay given second preference. He ran a fine race to finish seventh of 25 on his debut for Farrell at the Punchestown Festival, but since failed to make an impact at Cork. Rathnaleen Kal has been in fine form of late and is sure to have plenty of supporters with Maxine O'Sullivan aboard, while recent Wexford runner-up Warm In Gorey and top-weight Mica Malpica are others that warrant respect.

RATHNALEEN KAL arrives on the up and still on a handy mark so looks the way to go in an open handicap. Mica Malpic can have a say if ready to roll after an absence and is next on the list with Wexford runner-up Warm In Gorey also in the mix.

Her recent Clonmel win and Limerick third gives RATHNALEEN KAL an excellent chance and she is likely to take some beating

1	5 1st (5) (2.75/1 +45%) Ballykeel	2.75 2.75/1(+45%)	(5) Ballykeel 2.75/1, Off the mark over fences at Fairyhouse in February and ran a fine race when second at the Punchestown Festival in April. In the process of running below form when falling at Killarney last time but overall profile remains positive. Held when falling last time but a big player if judged on Punchestown festival second.
2	2 2nd (2) (10/1 -100%) Definite Plan	10 10/1(-100%)	(2) Definite Plan 10/1, Not the most reliable type but he ran well under a switch to front-running tactics when third of 14 in handicap chase at Killarney (26f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Remains to be seen whether he can back that up but trainer's runners here always merit respect. Ran well in first-time blinkers last month but doesn't always look enthusiastic.
3	6 3rd (6) (12/1 +14%) Saint Arvans	12 12/1(+14%)	(6) Saint Arvans 12/1, Likeable type who has taken well to chasing, winning for a fourth time at Kelso (3m) in April. On the back foot after an early mistake last time and it wouldn't be surprising to make more an impression here. Won when upped to 2m7f in April but soundly beaten twice since; others preferred.
4	3 4th (3) (4/1 +50%) Scipion	4 4/1(+50%)	(3) Scipion 4/1, Built on earlier chasing promise when landing 4-runner handicap at Lingfield in February and ran at least as well when runner-up at Kempton in April. Disappointing at Market Rasen last time, and has since left Tom Lacey (£56,000), but would merit respect if market vibes are positive. Lingfield winner for Tom Lacey in February; changed hands for £56,000 last month.
5th	7 5th (7) (16/1 -78%) Western Run	16 16/1(-78%)	(7) Western Run 16/1, Twenty one runs since last win under Rules in 2020 and didn't quite look the force of old when second of 3 over C&D on his debut for this yard last month. Others preferred. Dual point winner this year; ran okay over C&D last month but contests deeper race today.
6th	1 6th (1) (7.5/1 -15%) Caribean Boy	7.5 7.5/1(-15%)	(1) Caribean Boy 7.5/1, Took advantage of a drop in the weights to take Grade 2 Cheltenham in April but his profile is increasingly all-or-nothing and he failed to back that up when seventh of 11 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (24f, heavy) 36 days ago. Others are more solid. Returned to form with good win at Cheltenham in April but well held since; unreliable.
4	4 \|F\| (4) (2.75/1 +8%) Landofsmiles	2.75 2.75/1(+8%)	(4) Landofsmiles 2.75/1, Two-time C&D winner in 2021 and returned from a 16-month absence with a career-best effort to score in 11-runner handicap chase at Uttoxeter (24f, good to soft, 11/1) 22 days ago. 8 lb higher mark here but should be in the mix again. Won this in 2021 and returned from long layoff with clearcut success last month; a player.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (14/1 -100%) Hermann Clermont	14 14/1(-100%)	(8) Hermann Clermont 14/1, Won twice over C&D for Gordon Elliott last season and ran reasonably well when second on his hunter chase debut at Kelso last month. Unseated through no fault of his own last time but he races from slightly out of the weights and others make more appeal. Dual C&D winner in 2022 but needs to better last month's hunter chase second.

LTO Selection:

LANDOFSMILES looked better than ever when romping home by 10 lengths on his return from a 486-day absence at Uttoxeter last month and the veteran looks capable of shrugging off an 8lb rise if running to a similar level here. Ballykeel looks the pick of Gordon Elliott's pair and he can't be dismissed if none the worse for his fall at Killarney in May. Caribean Boy is capable if on a going day and completes the shortlist.

LANDOFSMILES has won on both of his previous visits to Perth and proved better than ever to score at Uttoxeter last time, so, provided that he doesn't "bounce" on his second run after a lengthy absence, he sets a good standard in this contest. Ballykeel is a leading player on the pick of his recent efforts, whilst Scipion is still fairly low-mileage over fences and is worth a market check on his stable debut.

If able to replicate the form of his Punchestown festival second in April, BALLYKEEL will be hard to beat here.

Trainer does well with progeny of young sire doing well; Eur100,000 yearling; nice page.
2	8 2nd (8) (2/1 +0%) Letiza	2 2/1(+0%)	(8) Letiza 2/1, Thrice-raced filly. Second of 17 in maiden at Gowran (9.4f, good to soft, 16/1) 19 days ago. Leading player again. 16s or longer but progressive and went close last twice; should again beat As Fast As Wind.
3	5 3rd (5) (5/1 +69%) Expelliarmus	5 5/1(+69%)	(5) Expelliarmus 5/1, Once-raced filly. 14/1, ninth of 14 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, heavy) on debut. Off 7 months. Significantly up in trip. Represents good yard but needs to improve markedly on debut effort. 14s, no great shakes when green in back-end Curragh maiden (heavy); likely capable of more.

Up in trip. Should improve. Quiet enough debut (6s, AW); 12s, much better in sixth on Leopardstown return; noted.
6th	6 6th (6) (6/1 +14%) Feach Amach	6 6/1(+14%)	(6) Feach Amach 6/1, Fair filly. 8/1, creditable second of 10 in maiden at Listowel (8f, good to soft) 8 days ago, no match for winner. Back up in trip. Solid claims. Tried over variety of trips, surfaces; can lead; stamina still a little uncertain; chance.
7th	3 7th (3) (200/1 -60%) Burvea	200 200/1(-60%)	(3) Burvea 200/1, Thrice-raced filly. Eighth of 10 in claimer at Fairyhouse (10f, good, 66/1) 10 days ago. Much more needed. 66s, struggled in claimers last twice, so can hardly be fancied in this.
8th	2 8th (2) (6/1 -20%) As Fast As Wind	6 6/1(-20%)	(2) As Fast As Wind 6/1, Fair filly. Blinkered for 1st time, good third of 17 in maiden (40/1) at Gowran (9.4f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Player. 40s third at Gowran on return (just behind Letiza), showing good attitude; stamina tested.
9th	1 9th (1) (200/1 +0%) Let Her Flow	200 200/1(+0%)	(1) Let Her Flow 200/1, Modest handicap hurdler making Flat debut. Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving Mark Fahey. Hard to fancy. Modest and seemingly regressive hurdler when last seen; new yard.

LTO Selection:

LETIZA enters the fray with very solid form this season. She wasn't beaten far into second at both Dundalk in April and Gowran Park last month. The horses that beat her are now rated 102 and 93 respectively, so Letiza should be up to winning in maiden company. Guided looked to be crying out for this trip when staying on well for sixth over 1m in Leopardstown. As Fast As Wind was half a length behind Letiza in third at Gowran Park which gives her claims. Although that was her sixth race, it was her turf debut so there could be more to come from her. There are numerous winners in Endless Sunshine's pedigree and she must be given a market check on debut for a strong stable. Semantics and Feach Amach aren't out of it.

LETIZA has found only one too good on her last 2 outings and is marginally fancied to go one better here in a competitive maiden. As Fast As Wind improved when third at Gowran last time and can pose a threat again, with Feach Amach another to consider.

ENDLESS SUNSHINE will likely prevail if running to 85 or so and on pedigree that looks feasible. Letiza is feared

LTO Selection:

The market should prove informative in this contest full of newcomers, with a tentative vote going to SPIRITUAL PURSUIT. The daughter of Invincible Spirit is a sister to the progressive Croupier and Archie Watson's two-year-old makes most appeal on paper. Beveragino ticks plenty of boxes on her pedigree and is another to note in the betting, with Modern Verse possibly best of the remainder.

All these fillies are making their debut but the obvious one is SPIRITUAL PURSUIT, who fetched a tidy sum at the Breeze-Ups and is from a yard that can ready one. Charlie Johnston saddled 3 winning 2-y-o newcomers at the end of last month and Carolina Reaper makes the most appeal of his 2 runners on pedigree. Beveragino is bred to be useful so is another likely type.

The betting should shed some light on expectations for these nine newcomers. SPIRITUAL PURSUIT earns a tentative selection.

1	3 1st (3) (3.33/1 -11%) Peripatetic	3.33 3.33/1(-11%)	(3) Peripatetic 3.33/1, Progressive sort won 3-runner C&D handicap before a very good ¾-length second of 8 to Eternal Pearl in Princess Royal Stakes at Newmarket in September, Sound effort back in trip on final 3-y-o outing and she's a definite contender on reappearance. Regular steps forward last summer, including here; better still at Newmarket in the autumn.
2	2 2nd (2) (1.75/1 +13%) First Ruler	1.75 1.75/1(+13%)	(2) First Ruler 1.75/1, Useful performer who matched the pick of his British form when successful at Meydan in February. Upped in class and even better form when 1¾ lengths second of 14 to Passion And Glory in listed race (at Sakhir (11.9f, good) a month later. Progressed 2022; last two starts early this year (Meydan and Bahrain) career-best form.
3	1 3rd (1) (1.5/1 +25%) Candleford	1.5 1.5/1(+25%)	(1) Candleford 1.5/1, Progressive at 3 and took another sizeable step forward when easily landing Duke of Edinburgh on Royal Ascot reappearance last summer. Didn't progress as may have been expected after but he's in top hands and is clearly very capable fresh. Won first time out in the last two campaigns and he's up there with today's rivals on form.
4	4 4th (4) (8.5/1 -21%) Rousay	8.5 8.5/1(-21%)	(4) Rousay 8.5/1, Listed winner at Salisbury in August and just as good when second here the following month (both 1¼m). Stuck to her task when fourth on first go at this trip when last seen in October but has a little bit to find on the figures. Shaped as if she stays 1m4f (tried it once); respected on peak form; perhaps more to offer.

LTO Selection:

In a small but competitive renewal, the vote goes to CANDLEFORD. The gelded son of Kingman made great strides last season, bolting up in the Duke Of Edinburgh before rounding off the year with creditable efforts in the Cumberland Lodge and Floodlit Stakes. He sets the standard on official ratings and with the ability to go well when fresh (won on his seasonal debut last year), he could take all the beating. Peripatetic is feared most, while both First Ruler and Rousay can't be ruled out either.

CANDLEFORD put up a smart performance when winning on last year's reappearance, and given he's just about the pick of the weights and sure to be well prepared for this, he's just about the most persuasive option. First Ruler is the only one of the quartet to have run in 2023 and he is feared most.

This is very tight on form. PERIPATETIC was upwardly mobile last season, including at this track and in small fields.

1	3 1st (3) (1.88/1 +37%) Easy Fella	1.88 1.88/1(+37%)	(3) Easy Fella 1.88/1, Fair hurdler. Remains a maiden after 7 hurdle runs. Creditable second of 13 in novice hurdle at Tipperary (24f, good, 11/4) 24 days ago. In the mix. Consistent 6yo who ran well at Tipperary (3m) behind a subsequent winner.
2	12 2nd (12) (3.2/1 +9%) Champagnesocialist	3.2 3.2/1(+9%)	(12) Champagnesocialist 3.2/1, Is yet to add to her bumper success and below-par third of 11 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (19.5f, heavy, 4/1) 66 days ago. Up in trip. Good form claims if at her best. Bumper winner; returning to these conditions should help, as might the longer trip.
3	5 3rd (5) (50/1 -178%) Getaway Charlie	50 50/1(-178%)	(5) Getaway Charlie 50/1, Sixth of 8 in bumper (33/1) at Cork (19f, good to soft) 63 days ago. Switches from bumpers to hurdles. Up in trip. Now 0-9 and his second to the smart Corbetts Cross is looking highly flattering.
4	1 4th (1) (125/1 -56%) Chasing Chances	125 125/1(-56%)	(1) Chasing Chances 125/1, Once-raced maiden. 33/1, last of 9 in bumper at Cork (19f, soft) on NH debut 62 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Up in trip. Placed in Borris House point but tailed off on bumper debut at Cork.

6th	10 6th (10) (100/1 -150%) The Bridge House	100 100/1(-150%)	(10) The Bridge House 100/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Sixth of 13 in novice hurdle (66/1) at Down Royal (20.4f, good) on hurdles bow 9 days ago. Lots more is required. Modest bumper form but ran better to finish sixth in a 2m4f maiden hurdle at Down Royal.
7th	11 7th (11) (150/1 -20%) Boblere	150 150/1(-20%)	(11) Boblere 150/1, Once-raced maiden. Ninth of 14 in bumper at Wexford (20f, good to soft, 66/1) on NH debut 11 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Pulled up in a point and tailed off in a bumper at Wexford; no appeal.
8th	4 8th (4) (7/1 +13%) Ebenezer Scrooge	7 7/1(+13%)	(4) Ebenezer Scrooge 7/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time, held when unseated rider 3 out in novice hurdle (11/2) at Killarney (20f, good) 27 days ago. Yard in good form so could bounce back. Third of ten over 2m6f and was outpaced when unseating over 2m4f at Killarney.

Only 1-6 in points and at 66-1 he was tailed off in a 2m maiden hurdle here..
8	8 \|F\| (8) (1.62/1 -30%) Naruto	1.62 1.62/1(-30%)	(8) Naruto 1.62/1, Fairly useful form when winner of 8-runner bumper at Killarney (17f, good, 11/4) 27 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Big shout. Made all and it was never really in doubt when taking a good-ground bumper at Killarney.
10th	2 10th (2) (50/1 +0%) Durty Harry	50 50/1(+0%)	(2) Durty Harry 50/1, Morozov gelding. Dam unraced. Made frame once from 3 starts in points, fell latest (Feb 19). Not ruled out. Opposable on pointing exploits, for all that he was running well when falling in latest.
11th	14 11th (14) (200/1 -60%) Eva Said No	200 200/1(-60%)	(14) Eva Said No 200/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. 125/1, sixth of 12 in novice hurdle at Wexford (24.5f, good to soft) on hurdles bow. Off 12 months. First run for yard after leaving T. Gibney. Very opposable on what she showed in two starts for a previous yard.
13	13 \|PU\| (13) (22/1 -38%) Croi Corcra	22 22/1(-38%)	(13) Croi Corcra 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, pulled up in novice hurdle (25/1) at Tramore (21f, good), weakening between 3 out and 2 out. Off 10 months. Winning her fourth point three weeks ago but hasn't shown much in previous maiden hurdles.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (100/1 +20%) Our Chezney	100 100/1(+20%)	(9) Our Chezney 100/1, Twice-raced maiden. Ninth of 16 in bumper at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft, 100/1) 30 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Significantly up in trip. Finished tailed off on his two bumpers and far from the obvious answer on hurdling debut.

LTO Selection:

This looks a good opportunity for EASY FELLA to finally get off the mark. The son of Yeats has been a bit frustrating to follow but ran arguably his best race to date when second to What Path at Tipperary, with that one since giving the form a boost by following up at Kilbeggan. Rated 112, the selection will be ridden by capable claimer Niall Moore who takes a valuable 7lb off. The Willie Mullins-trained Naruto is given second preference. He won what looked an ordinary bumper at Killarney on his most recent outing and starts off over flights now. Getaway Charlie has some strong pieces of form to his name and had two subsequent winners in behind when second to Corbetts Cross in a bumper at Cork in October. While disappointing on his most recent starts, the Tim Doyle trained seven-year-old might be able to make an impact in a contest of this quality. Ebenezer Scrooge, Champagnesocialist and point-to-point winner Croi Corcra are others for the shortlist.

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest. NARUTO looked a decent prospect when landing a Killarney bumper last month and can make a winning start in this sphere for his top yard. Easy Fella remains a maiden after seven attempts but still has the form to play a part along with Champagnesocialist who also is firmly in the mix if back to her best.

Naruto is of obvious interest as a bumper winner for his top stable but EASY FELLA has the benefit of hurdling experience.

1	6 1st (6) (4.5/1 +18%) Mrs Paisley	4.5 4.5/1(+18%)	(6) Mrs Paisley 4.5/1, Maiden who didn't offer a great deal over hurdles last term and, for all she wasn't beaten far, produced a far from convincing display when fifth of 7 on chase bow here (20f) 24 days ago. Still, powerful yard's runners can never be underestimated. Not beaten far here on recent chase debut and may build on that performance back hurdling.
2	7 2nd (7) (20/1 +0%) Sea Prince	20 20/1(+0%)	(7) Sea Prince 20/1, Unpromising in points and low-key start under Rules, failing to build on remote promise showed in pair of course events over shorter when beaten some way out at Hexham (20f) 8 days ago. Needs to leave that in his wake to figure up markedly in trip. Fourth here on last month's handicap debut but ran no race at Hexham last week; up in trip.
3	3 3rd (3) (4/1 +20%) Starlyte	4 4/1(+20%)	(3) Starlyte 4/1, Made a winning return to hurdles for new yard at Newcastle (20.3f) in November and largely creditable efforts in defeat since, third back at that trip/track in May. Not out of things with cheekpieces refitted. Won on stable debut in the autumn but hasn't progressed; cheekpieces refitted today.
4	8 4th (8) (6.5/1 +54%) Ultra Violet	6.5 6.5/1(+54%)	(8) Ultra Violet 6.5/1, Fairly useful on Flat in France. Not managed to get near that level over hurdles though, left behind gradually when fourth in 6-runner C&D handicap 25 days ago. More needed with the visor back on. Ran okay when fourth of six over C&D last month but is effectively 1lb higher today.
5th	5 5th (5) (40/1 -21%) Colonel Manderson	40 40/1(-21%)	(5) Colonel Manderson 40/1, Fair 3m hurdles winner for Dan Skelton but good deal to prove judged on his exploits to date for present yard, struggling a long way out when well held eleventh in 14-runner Cartmel handicap 2 weeks ago. Has become disappointing and needs to turn a corner.
6th	2 6th (2) (5/1 -43%) Pammi	5 5/1(-43%)	(2) Pammi 5/1, Standing dish around here (5-time C&D winner) her latest victory from 4 lb lower mark 12 months ago. Pretty low-key efforts in trio of Flat starts last month but no surprise to see an upturn back over hurdles at this venue. Struggled on the Flat last month but is a five-time C&D winner over hurdles.
7th	11 7th (11) (11/1 -47%) Lockdown Leader	11 11/1(-47%)	(11) Lockdown Leader 11/1, Maiden who boasts a distinctly patchy record but did at least confirm ability remains when second in a C&D handicap 25 days ago. Blinkers replace cheekpieces now but no sure thing to be in same form. 5 lb out of weights. Went close over C&D last month but effectively 7lb higher from 5lb wrong today.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (4/1 -14%) Boomslang	4 4/1(-14%)	(1) Boomslang 4/1, Showed improved form on back of 3 months off when runner-up on handicap debut at Kelso (20.8f) last month and matched that level when third back in maiden company at Cartmel (22f) 15 days ago. Unexposed at this trip and big player returned to handicaps. Second on handicap debut and has since bettered that form in a maiden; good chance.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (14/1 +13%) Pure Surf	14 14/1(+13%)	(9) Pure Surf 14/1, Hurdles winner at Sedgefield in November and back to form returned to that venue when runner-up over 19.8f in May of last year. Never involved on chase bow (reportedly struck into) at Hexham 12 months ago and absent since. Returns with yard amongst the winners at least. Second on latest hurdle start but absent since disappointing chase debut a year ago.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (20/1 +9%) Dalileo	20 20/1(+9%)	(4) Dalileo 20/1, Course winner (at 20f) who made frame on four of first 5 starts last year. Ended the campaign below best though and changed hands for £4,500 in October. Betting may prove a useful guide on return to action. Out of form in Ireland when last seen last summer; makes stable debut today.
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (66/1 -164%) Istimraar	66 66/1(-164%)	(10) Istimraar 66/1, Veteran campaigner who twice ran well over fences here during 2021 for Andrew Hamilton. Not seen under Rules since July of that year but does come here for new yard on the back of a run in points, albeit last of 4 finishers latest (May 20). Others make greater appeal back over timber. Not seen under rules since 2021 and 0-6 in points this year; difficult to enthuse over.

LTO Selection:

With all bar one of PAMMI's hurdles wins coming at this venue, the latest from 4lb lower, it might be worth siding with Jim Goldie's course lover. This current mark isn't beyond her judged on past exploits, and she should be cherry-ripe following her recent spins on the Flat. The unexposed Boomslang merits the utmost respect, while Lockdown Leader would hold every chance if able to replicate his recent C&D second.

BOOMSLANG has returned an improved model following a short break, likely to have finished second with a clear run when third in a Cartmel maiden 15 days ago, and he can get off the mark returned to handicap company again partnered by Brian Hughes. Pammi, who goes really well around here, is also worthy of respect, along with Starlyte.

Topweight BOOMSLANG returns to handicap company after a good third in a Cartmel maiden last month and is open to further progress.

Should continue to give a good account. 7f likely not ideal latest but nice progress when he got in the clear and big player.
2	12 2nd (12) (9/1 +0%) Malbay Madness	9 9/1(+0%)	(12) Malbay Madness 9/1, Good third of 7 in nursery (6/1) at Listowel (8f, good), nearest finish. Off 8 months. Up in trip. First run for yard after leaving E. D. Linehan. Worth market check after eye-catching stable switch. Up massively in grade on return; yard in form but 1-31 with 3yos on turf last five seasons.
3	8 3rd (8) (4.5/1 +40%) Subzero	4.5 4.5/1(+40%)	(8) Subzero 4.5/1, Thrice-raced winner. Won 8-runner maiden (8/11) at the Curragh (7f, good to soft) 16 days ago, always holding on. Blinkers back on. Makes handicap debut. Another bold show likely. 2s or shorter, progressive; perhaps value for more than winning margin at Curragh; chance.
4	5 4th (5) (28/1 -12%) Aurifodina	28 28/1(-12%)	(5) Aurifodina 28/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, third of 4 in minor event at Gowran (9.4f, good to soft, 15/2) 19 days ago. Player on best form but last 2 outings have been underwhelming. Best on bad ground which she got when last seen in handicap (seasonal debut) but struggled.
5th	1 5th (1) (8.5/1 +6%) Save Your Love	8.5 8.5/1(+6%)	(1) Save Your Love 8.5/1, Lightly-raced winner. 8¼ lengths fifth of 6 to Drumroll in Gallinule Stakes (9/1) at the Curragh (10f, good) 14 days ago. Stable in good form. Makes handicap debut. Opening mark looks on stiff side. Bit on his plate in Group 3 latest but still slightly disappointing (always in rear).
6th	3 6th (3) (12/1 -118%) Satin	12 12/1(-118%)	(3) Satin 12/1, Lightly-raced winner. 10/1, career best when winning 10-runner maiden at Listowel (8f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Up in trip. Trainer going well. Makes handicap debut. Will find this tougher but remains open to progress. Filly seemed transformed over winter when winning easily at Listowel last week at 10s.
7th	7 7th (7) (16/1 -100%) Signora Bellissima	16 16/1(-100%)	(7) Signora Bellissima 16/1, Good second of 13 in handicap (6/1) at Leopardstown (10f, good) 23 days ago, having run of race. Stable in good form. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Can make presence felt. Leopardstown second latest (led) was a career-high; this is a stronger race; cheekpieces.
8th	4 8th (4) (14/1 +0%) Gimmie Shelter	14 14/1(+0%)	(4) Gimmie Shelter 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time, shaped as if better for run 2¼ lengths fourth of 14 to Pearl of Australia in maiden (3/1) at Roscommon (10.3f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Still yet to match the form of his debut but may do better now handicapping. Shade disappointing behind Pearl Of Australia on Roscommon return (first-time tongue tie).
9th	10 9th (10) (50/1 -25%) Autocrat	50 50/1(-25%)	(10) Autocrat 50/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win at Dundalk in April. Last of 10 in handicap at Roscommon (11.7f, good, 6/1) 10 days ago. Yard in good form but needs to prove he is as effective on turf. 6s, flopped at Roscommon latest and this is a much better race so can't have him.
10th	2 10th (2) (20/1 -122%) Kalikapour	20 20/1(-122%)	(2) Kalikapour 20/1, Dundalk maiden winner. 10/1, first run since leaving M. Halford when seventh of 11 in handicap at Naas (8f, good to firm) 21 days ago, not ideally placed. Cheekpieces on 1st time. May well do better. AW maiden win in December probably of similar merit to Naas seventh on handicap debut.

LTO Selection:

It was hard not to be taken with the finishing effort of SATIN in a Listowel maiden last weekend and she shaped like a filly who would go on to better things. Even if runner-up Feich Amach doesn't oblige in the previous race here, a mark of 87, less Scott McCullagh's claim, could well be on the lenient side with the prospect of more to come over this extra quarter-mile. The daughter of Australia holds an Irish Oaks entry so has clearly always shown potential on the gallops. Bottom weight Malbay Magic was progressive in nurseries and it will be interesting to see what new trainer Emmet Mullins can do with him. Pearl Of Australia made all in a Roscommon maiden and is 4lb better off with Gimme Shelter who was back in fourth on that occasion. Ryan Moore has picked unlucky Curragh fourth Canute ahead of Subzero and his mount should appreciate stepping back up to this trip.

Aidan O'Brien appears to hold all the aces in the Premier Handicap, with CANUTE fancied to build upon his fast-finishing return at the Curragh to get the better of his similarly unexposed stablemate Subzero. Johnny Murtagh's Signora Bellissima makes most appeal of the remainder.

A fascinating contest; Aidan O'Brien will fancy winning it either with Canute or SUBZERO, who seems typically tough and progressive

Had won on only AW but put that right with 2l defeat of four rivals over 1m6f at Carlisle.
5th	7 5th (7) (16/1 -14%) Punxsutawney Phil	16 16/1(-14%)	(7) Punxsutawney Phil 16/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in December and back to form when close third to Blow Your Horn in handicap (12/1) at Doncaster (14.5f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Needs to build on that in this better race, however. Best run for a while when closing in on Blow Your Horn last week at Doncaster..
6th	1 6th (1) (7.5/1 -67%) Legendary Day	7.5 7.5/1(-67%)	(1) Legendary Day 7.5/1, Enhanced a reasonable strike rate on the Flat at Ripon and far from disgraced in a couple of good handicaps at Newmarket/York since. Needs considering back down in class and in a change of headgear. Mostly very good since joining this yard and solid contender if coping with new aids.
7th	8 7th (8) (8/1 +33%) Ghadbbaan	8 8/1(+33%)	(8) Ghadbbaan 8/1, Dual winner at up to 2m last season and returned in good form, running respectably without doing anything quickly when placed all 3 starts. May have to settle for a minor role again. 2m winner; fairly well held this season despite respectable form figures..
8th	4 8th (4) (3.33/1 +17%) The Predictor	3.33 3.33/1(+17%)	(4) The Predictor 3.33/1, Confirmed previous promise (and did well under the circumstances) when opening his account at Thirsk (2m, good) in August. Positive start to this season when going close at Ripon (2m, heavy) and put in another decent effort when fourth at Chester. Solid claims. Fairly reliable since upped to 1m6f/2m and further was perhaps a stretch the last time..

LTO Selection:

THE PREDICTOR finished a fine fourth in the Chester Plate last month and a similar level of performance may see the Richard Fahey-trained gelding gain a first success of the season. However, there are dangers aplenty, headed by recent scorer World Without Love. The daughter of Ulysses justified strong support when triumphant at Carlisle last Thursday and a 4lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid. Fellow last-time-out winners Geremia and Blow Your Horn also enter calculations.

THE PREDICTOR is building up a solid profile and gets the vote back down in class. Legendary Day is another likeable type who is dropping back in grade so is feared most ahead Geremia, who ended his losing run in good style at Hamilton.

A tight handicap. Blow Your Horn might struggle to confirm last week's Doncaster placings with PUNXSUTAWNEY PHIL.

16:55 Goodwood Handicap (Class 4) 6f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (5/1 +23%) Royal Parade	5 5/1(+23%)	(4) Royal Parade 5/1, 11/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, seventh of 8 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, heavy) 36 days ago, weakening over 1f out. Needs a couple of these to falter. Essentially disappointing but hasn't raced on fast ground since career-best novice win.
2	2 2nd (2) (2.5/1 +62%) Mojomaker	2.5 2.5/1(+62%)	(2) Mojomaker 2.5/1, Winless since 2-y-o days but he shaped well on back of 9 months off when fifth of 11 in handicap at Thirsk (6f) e weeks ago, faring best of those who raced on near flank. This mark within reach and he's one to bear in mind. Perhaps needed comeback run but does look handicapped about right.
3	6 3rd (6) (4.5/1 +72%) Epsom Faithfull	4.5 4.5/1(+72%)	(6) Epsom Faithfull 4.5/1, Successful 4 times from 7 starts during 2022. Mixed bag on all weather since the turn of the year and she failed to build on the promise of her penultimate start at Lingfield when well held behind re-opposing Shobiz at Newbury 22 days ago. Tongue tie fitted. Has lost her way, latterly finishing well behind in Shobiz's Newbury race.
4	5 4th (5) (7/1 +56%) Count Otto	7 7/1(+56%)	(5) Count Otto 7/1, Returned to form from out of the blue when gaining a narrow win at Lingfield in March. However, not returned in anything like the same form in pair of starts on turf, well held at Epsom (6f) 8 days ago. Blinkers return alongside usual hood. Unappealing on last couple of runs and usually goes well at Epsom where he ran last week..
5th	8 5th (8) (14/1 -100%) Mamillius	14 14/1(-100%)	(8) Mamillius 14/1, Steadily back to form in recent months and he built on good third on penultimate start to score at Lingfield (6f) 38 days ago, rallying to lead final 100 yds. Equally as effective on turf and not out of things from 3 lb higher mark. Recent AW winner; fine on downhill tracks but hasn't shone here in the past.
6th	3 6th (3) (2.5/1 +69%) Indian Creak	2.5 2.5/1(+69%)	(3) Indian Creak 2.5/1, Course winner who stepped up on his reappearance when landing a gamble at Windsor in May. Mixed bag subsequently, well held eleventh of 14 in handicap at Epsom (6f) 8 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Went close in this last season and running well prior to a slow start last week at Epsom.

LTO Selection:

Shobiz won nicely at Newbury when scoring by a length in a class 3 event and, even with a 4lb rise, he is highly likely to be bang there once more. However, a chance can be taken on MOJOMAKER, who shaped with huge encouragement on his first start of the season at Thirsk when beaten into fifth by four and a half lengths and, with a step forward, he could go close off 1lb lower. Last-time-out victor Mamillius is also of interest.

SHOBIZ remains low mileage for a 5-y-o and encouragingly built on his reappearance run when landing a big-field Newbury handicap 3 weeks ago, displaying a brilliant attitude in the process. He earns the vote to continue the good work now he's firmly back on the right path, with Thirsk eye-catcher Mojomaker and Lingfield-scorer Mamillius others to consider.

Second choice Shobiz is an uncomplicated sprinter but a chance is taken on ROYAL PARADE now he's back on proper fast ground.

Info	Form	Odds
1	8 1st (8) (6.5/1 +35%) Mister Beeton	6.5 6.5/1(+35%)	(8) Mister Beeton 6.5/1, Creditable fifth of 18 in handicap hurdle (16/1) at Cork (20f, good to soft) 36 days ago, keeping on when not fluent last. Longer trip may unlock a little improvement. Beaten in three handicaps but ran okay over 2m4f at Cork and looks ready for this far.
2	11 2nd (11) (40/1 -21%) Ounce Of Gold	40 40/1(-21%)	(11) Ounce Of Gold 40/1, Fifth of 13 in novice hurdle at Tipperary (24f, good, 200/1) 24 days ago, would have benefited from stronger handling. Makes handicap hurdle debut and interesting what the market makes of him here. The signs were a little more encouraging in a 3m maiden at Tipperary last time.
3	7 3rd (7) (18/1 +18%) Country Queen	18 18/1(+18%)	(7) Country Queen 18/1, Latest win in hurdle at Kilbeggan in September. Twelfth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (20f, good, 25/1) 98 days ago. Stable in good form. Won a bumper and Kilbeggan maiden hurdle on good ground last summer; possible improver.
4	3 4th (3) (4/1 +20%) Jumping Jet	4 4/1(+20%)	(3) Jumping Jet 4/1, Creditable second of 6 in minor event hurdle (10/3) at Wexford (24f, heavy) 72 days ago. Stable in good form. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Merits consideration. Maiden winner over 2m4f at Leopardstown and should pay his way in handicaps.
5th	10 5th (10) (1.5/1 +50%) Hanoi Jane	1.5 1.5/1(+50%)	(10) Hanoi Jane 1.5/1, Promising individual. 15/8, confirmed promise of her reappearance when landing 16-runner handicap hurdle at this course (19.4f, good to soft) 19 days ago, readily. Up in trip. Has to be taken seriously. Up 8lb but looks progressive and there's stamina in her pedigree.
6th	4 6th (4) (22/1 -38%) Slige Dala	22 22/1(-38%)	(4) Slige Dala 22/1, 12/1, first run since leaving Gordon Elliott when fourth of 13 in claiming hurdle at this course (19.4f, good to soft) 19 days ago, faring best of those held up. Back up in trip. Didn't last long with Gordon Elliott and was well beaten in a claimer last time.
7th	9 7th (9) (7/1 -27%) Say It Ain't So	7 7/1(-27%)	(9) Say It Ain't So 7/1, Fairly useful winner at 20f in chases. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap chase (18/1) at Ballinrobe (17f, good to soft) 40 days ago, just holding on. Not ruled out in this groove from lower hurdles mark. Unproven over this far but lightly raced as a hurdler and well handicapped.
8th	6 8th (6) (12/1 +57%) Barbary Master	12 12/1(+57%)	(6) Barbary Master 12/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. Blinkered for 1st time, fell in novice hurdle at Downpatrick (18.8f, good to soft, 12/1) 23 days ago, behind when falling last. Needs to bounce back. Bumper winner; placed over hurdles but recent form is not so encouraging.
9th	5 9th (5) (14/1 +0%) Wa Wa	14 14/1(+0%)	(5) Wa Wa 14/1, Latest win in hurdle at Leopardstown in March. 18/1, fourteenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Haydock (24.3f, good to firm) 29 days ago. Others more persuasive. 14lb higher than for the last of his wins and has form has just dropped off.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (12/1 +45%) Macgiloney	12 12/1(+45%)	(1) Macgiloney 12/1, Resumed winning ways at Listowel (3m) in September. Lightly raced since and caught the eye to a degree when sixth in 16-runner handicap at Kilbeggan (24.2f) 4 weeks ago. One to keep an eye now operating from last winning mark. Multiple winner who should be on a fair mark and returning to good ground will benefit.

LTO Selection:

It might be worth taking a chance on COUNTRY QUEEN. Twice successful last year, her recent efforts have been disappointing. However, she should be suited by this step up in trip, with a return to quick ground also likely to aid her cause. Gordon Elliott trains the selection and is also represented by Jumping Jet, who is sure to have plenty of supporters on what will be her handicap debut. The hat-trick seeking Miss Tempo is the one to beat on form. She impressively made all on her return from a lengthy absence at Naas in March and she followed up in style at Tipperary, when stepping up in trip. Hanoi Jane and Say It Ain't So are other recent winners in the line-up, with the former of definite interest. Rated 97 and with Shane O'Callaghan claiming 7lb, she will carry a featherweight of nine stone eight. Another at the bottom of the handicap is Ounce Of Gold. He caught the eye when making late gains at Tipperary and it'll be interesting to see how he fares now.

HANOI JANE marked herself down as one to keep firmly onside when impressively opening her account over shorter here 3 weeks ago and she looks a player back up in trip with the prospect of more to come. Miss Tempo is another mare on the up and she's feared most, ahead of Jumping Jet.

Ted Walsh's HANOI JANE has perked up for the fitting of a tongue-tie and won comfortably here last time.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (14/1 -75%) Cracking Rhapsody	14 14/1(-75%)	(2) Cracking Rhapsody 14/1, Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Cracking Destiny, but not enough encouragement in his debut at Kelso to think he can win this. Not beaten far on debut at Kelso in April but needs to improve here.
2	4 2nd (4) (0.57/1 -14%) Faux Fur	0.57 0.57/1(-14%)	(4) Faux Fur 0.57/1, Related to a couple of winners and showed plenty to work on when third at Ballinrobe recently. Stable has a fine record at this track and she should take all the beating. Made promising debut when placed at Ballinrobe last month; obvious contender.
3	1 3rd (1) (1.75/1 +36%) Breizh River	1.75 1.75/1(+36%)	(1) Breizh River 1.75/1, Left debut form well behind when runner-up at Kelso a month ago and another step forward would make him a serious threat to Faux Fur. Much-improved form when second of 12 at Kelso last month; could be hard to beat here.
4	3 4th (3) (28/1 +72%) Solway Staree	28 28/1(+72%)	(3) Solway Staree 28/1, Offered little over C&D on debut and set for another struggle after 8 months off. Soundly beaten when 125-1 for debut here (good) in September.

LTO Selection:

FAUX FUR shaped with promise when filling the frame at Ballinrobe on her racecourse debut and the Wings Of Eagles filly wouldn't need to improve much further to get off the mark. Breizh River belied long odds when finishing a good second at Kelso last month and is likely to provide the main challenge. Cracking Rhapsody can chase them home ahead of Solway Staree.

FAUX FUR made a positive start in a stronger race than this at Ballinrobe 13 days ago and she's the obvious choice ahead of Breizh River in a race that the pair should dominate.

This might go to BREIZH RIVER, who travelled strongly for a long way and posted a much-improved performance when second at Kelso.

2	9 2nd (9) (25/1 -56%) Shining Aitch	25 25/1(-56%)	(9) Shining Aitch 25/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Wexford (17.4f, good to soft, 40/1) 11 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. No great shakes over past year and needs dramatic improvement for the headgear.
3	10 3rd (10) (5/1 +17%) Bright Moment	5 5/1(+17%)	(10) Bright Moment 5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 14/1, second of 13 in handicap at Gowran (8f, good to soft) 19 days ago, finishing well. Back up in trip. In good hands and 14s, much better in handicaps when beating all bar a long shot at Gowran.
4	6 4th (6) (18/1 -13%) Finke River	18 18/1(-13%)	(6) Finke River 18/1, 14/1, twelfth of 16 in handicap at Gowran (8f, good to soft) 39 days ago. Likely he needed that and is now back up in trip. Late gains on Turf return but was beaten a long way; runner with trip-related potential.
5th	5 5th (5) (11/1 +8%) Qasbaz	11 11/1(+8%)	(5) Qasbaz 11/1, 11/2, respectable fifth of 12 in claimer at Tipperary (7.5f, good) 12 days ago, nearest finish. Significantly back up in trip. Place contender; really genuine; one plus is he is relatively unexposed at 1m2f.

10th	7 10th (7) (22/1 -83%) Kartayaz	22 22/1(-83%)	(7) Kartayaz 22/1, Latest win at Dundalk in December. Creditable seventh of 15 in handicap (28/1) at Cork (10.1f, good) 25 days ago. Thoroughly exposed and no excuses at Cork at 28s when midfield; this no worse.
11th	4 11th (4) (7.5/1 +46%) Five Zeros	7.5 7.5/1(+46%)	(4) Five Zeros 7.5/1, C&D winner. Respectable seventh of 15 in handicap at Roscommon (12f, good to soft, 15/2) 20 days ago. Merits consideration. C&D win came around this time of year and she struck twice on good ground last summer.
12th	8 12th (8) (22/1 +33%) Prince Of Abington	22 22/1(+33%)	(8) Prince Of Abington 22/1, Twenty five runs since last win in 2020. First run since leaving John McConnell when last of 15 in handicap at Cork (10.1f, good, 28/1) 25 days ago. Tended to try shorter, not get 1m2f, yard debut at Cork behind Kartayaz and Gudrun Genberg.
13th	16 13th (16) (18/1 +10%) Nevada Brave	18 18/1(+10%)	(16) Nevada Brave 18/1, Winner at Dundalk in January.

Solid sory; Gowran flop a concern but each-way chance; usually handy.

Opneing mark inflated on the back of that improved showing. Young rider doing well; yard 0-7 last five seasons; may need more racing.
17th	20 17th (20) (33/1 +34%) The Peckhampouncer	33 33/1(+34%)	(20) The Peckhampouncer 33/1, Course winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. 100/1, twelfth of 15 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.2f, good) 12 days ago. Back up in trip. Visor back on. The case of the 6yo better than recent runs imply as he has good course record.

LTO Selection:

BRIGHT MOMENT came home well to be second over a mile at Gowran and looks capable of handicap success. John Feane trained her half-sister to win three races including over this trip on fast ground and the dam was a dual all-weather winner up to 1m4f, so 1m2f on a sound surface should suit the lightly-raced five-year-old who will be making just her sixth start. Lisamaria has been running consistently well and has Colin Keane's assistance for the first time. She bumped into a well-treated rival at Tipperary and the form of her third at Gowran has worked out very well. Trying ten furlongs for the first time, she should go well. Cleopatra's Needle has a wide draw but is another capable of going close. Fourth over C&D on her reappearance, she was third at Tipperary last time where her stamina seemed stretched beyond its limit over 1m4f. 10 furlongs will suit better and a hood is employed for the first time.

LISAMARIA has a lowly mark to exploit so in the hope she sees this new trip out, she looks the way to go. Harry Rogers saddles a couple of interesting runners in Cleopatra's Needle and Clifftop and they are potential threats.

Those who appeal most are BRIGHT MOMENT, Lisamaria and Cleopatra's Needle, a really obvious each-way case readily made for all

1	6 1st (6) (3.33/1 +39%) Another Baar	3.33 3.33/1(+39%)	(6) Another Baar 3.33/1, Progressive sprinter who justified good support when landing a 9-runner event with plenty in hand at Ripon last time. Another bold showing is on the cards. Up 10lb for Ripon win but he's sharp enough for 5f and is clearly progressing..
2	11 2nd (11) (18/1 -50%) Desert Games	18 18/1(-50%)	(11) Desert Games 18/1, Consistent rather than progressive to this point, fourth in a novice at Doncaster last time. Visor is applied for handicap debut, so he might well do better now. Dropping back to 5f in first-time headgear for his handicap debut could work..
3	5 3rd (5) (7.5/1 +32%) Thankuappreciate	7.5 7.5/1(+32%)	(5) Thankuappreciate 7.5/1, After 7 months off, ran well on handicap debut when third of 8 at Nottingham and backed it up with a good second at Thirsk. Disappointed at York last time and has a wide draw to contend with. Excuses last time; has form claims but could be much better drawn..
4	9 4th (9) (5.5/1 -10%) Winter Crown	5.5 5.5/1(-10%)	(9) Winter Crown 5.5/1, Positive start for this yard, winning AW novice then second in handicaps at Musselburgh and Chester. Shaped as if still in form at York last time but stall 10 makes life difficult. Cracking run at Chester and best to put a line through York last time.
5th	13 5th (13) (66/1 -164%) Cavalier Approach	66 66/1(-164%)	(13) Cavalier Approach 66/1, Scored at Newcastle in May and, while he found his run of good form coming to a halt at Redcar last time, he's likely to bounce back quickly. Redcar was a backward step and that wasn't his first below-par run on fast ground.
6th	12 6th (12) (12/1 +25%) Aira Force	12 12/1(+25%)	(12) Aira Force 12/1, Improved when winning 17-runner nursery at Leicester on penultimate outing last season and signed off with a creditable effort at Kempton. Will probably do better still this term but entitled to need the run after 7 months off. Consistent last season, winning a nursery; lacking a run might not be ideal.
7th	1 7th (1) (7.5/1 +46%) Star Of Lady M	7.5 7.5/1(+46%)	(1) Star Of Lady M 7.5/1, Did well last season, winning 3 times. Yet to fire this term but cheekpieces are applied and she has the plum draw. On a good mark but has to prove she's trained on after two quiet runs this campaign.
8th	4 8th (4) (10/1 -11%) Northcliff	10 10/1(-11%)	(4) Northcliff 10/1, Still a maiden after 11 starts but he has some fairly useful form. Quickly back on track when second in a maiden at Catterick 9 days ago and should give another good account. Can go well off this mark but a nagging concern that he's now 0-11.
9th	2 9th (2) (5.5/1 +21%) King's Crown	5.5 5.5/1(+21%)	(2) King's Crown 5.5/1, Won Thirsk maiden last May. Hasn't troubled the judge since but creditable efforts so far this term and should be well positioned. Blinkers are on for the first time, too. Could improve for blinkers and this return to faster ground over 5f..
10th	7 10th (7) (16/1 +27%) Braveheart Boy	16 16/1(+27%)	(7) Braveheart Boy 16/1, Fairly useful and consistent sprint juvenile. Showed enough to suggest he retains his ability when fourth of 10 on Ripon reappearance but failed to back it up at Hamilton last time. Others make more appeal. This season hasn't started well and probably unwise to blame the softer ground..
11th	3 11th (3) (8/1 +33%) Dream For Gold	8 8/1(+33%)	(3) Dream For Gold 8/1, Found improvement to score at Chelmsford on return and shaped as if still in form at Southwell last time. Stall 12 isn't ideal but still dangerous to dismiss after a wind op. Had wind surgery since last run but not ideally drawn even if back to his best.

LTO Selection:

DICKIEBURD posted a mighty effort in the 3YO Dash at Epsom eight days ago, finishing third, so Craig Lidster's charge ought to hold every chance from just 1lb higher in the handicap today. This is fiercely competitive, though, with recent winners Another Baar and Quandary likely to make their presence felt. Star Of Lady M has yet to replicate her juvenile form but she's berthed well in stall one and first-time cheekpieces could hold the key to her. Others to note include Desert Games and Thankuappreciate.

DICKIEBURD shaped well at Epsom recently and has the potential to make all from a low draw, so he takes marginal preference over Another Baar, who scored readily at Ripon 10 days ago. King's Crown is another one to consider.

A very competitive handicap. DICKIEBURD showed lots of pace to be in the firing line throughout in last week's 3yo Dash at Epsom.

2	3 2nd (3) (6.5/1 -44%) Final Decision	6.5 6.5/1(-44%)	(3) Final Decision 6.5/1, Lightly-raced winner in bumpers. 3/1, career best when winning 13-runner bumper at Kilbeggan (15.1f, good to soft) 52 days ago. Has more on her plate this time. Flat-bred filly who made it fifth-time lucky in bumpers at Kilbeggan; likely to need more.
3	6 3rd (6) (25/1 +0%) Dorset Lady	25 25/1(+0%)	(6) Dorset Lady 25/1, Remains a maiden after 8 bumper runs. 80/1, good seventh of 14 in bumper at this course (16.3f, good). Off 8 months. Beaten eight times in bumpers; some runs were respectable but still hard to fancy.
4	1 4th (1) (12/1 -33%) Dark Image	12 12/1(-33%)	(1) Dark Image 12/1, Lightly-raced winner in bumpers. One win from 3 runs last season. 25/1, respectable sixth of 13 in bumper at Tipperary (16f, good) 24 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Bumper first time out at Limerick and has matched that form since in defeat.
5th	4 5th (4) (7.5/1 +25%) Avakate	7.5 7.5/1(+25%)	(4) Avakate 7.5/1, Affinisea mare. Dam runner-up in points. Others preferred. Second foal; dam runner-up in first of two points; not that appealing on pedigree.
6th	8 6th (8) (22/1 +12%) Lady Bluebird	22 22/1(+12%)	(8) Lady Bluebird 22/1, Once-raced maiden. Sixth of 18 in bumper at Limerick (16.4f, good to soft, 100/1) on NH debut 16 days ago. Needs to improve. Finished sixth of 18 at Limerick (good to yielding) was beaten about 17l; opposable.
7th	10 7th (10) (40/1 -21%) Zoomtime	40 40/1(-21%)	(10) Zoomtime 40/1, Sageburg mare. Dam unraced sister to fairly useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 3m) Opening Batsman. Second foal; dam unraced sister to 2m2f-3m hurdle/smart chase winner Opening Batsman.
8th	7 8th (7) (50/1 -79%) Lackaneen Mag	50 50/1(-79%)	(7) Lackaneen Mag 50/1, Court Cave mare. Dam unraced half-sister to smart hurdler/chaser (stayed 21f) Don't Touch It. Wears tongue strap. Runner-up on last of 3 starts in points (May 14). Improvement to finish runner-up in her final point but opposable in a race of this nature.
9th	5 9th (5) (18/1 +10%) Cladagh Pearl	18 18/1(+10%)	(5) Cladagh Pearl 18/1, Pearl Secret mare. Dam, little impact over hurdles, 6f (at 2 yrs)-7f winner on Flat. Worth a market check. Out of a 6f/7f winner; limited appeal on this belated debut.
10th	9 10th (9) (150/1 -20%) Missus Beeton	150 150/1(-20%)	(9) Missus Beeton 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. 150/1, fourteenth of 18 in bumper at Limerick (16.4f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Tailed off on both her runs and looks limited.

LTO Selection:

The Willie Mullins-trained FOUR CLEAN ACES should prove hard to beat, as she bids to follow up on her narrow debut success at Tipperary. The form of that race has since been boosted by runner-up World Of Fortunes and fifth place finisher Mousey Brown. They both claimed Wexford bumpers last month, with the former particularly impressive in what looked a decent contest. The selection is out of a seven-time winning sister to Royal Alphabet, who was successful eight times for Mullins, with his biggest triumph coming in Grade 2 company over flights. Dark Image and Final Decision are the other winners in the line-up, with the Derek O'Connor ridden latter given second preference. Newcomers Avakate and Cladagh Pearl warrant respect coming from the yards of Andy Slattery and Sam Curling.

FOUR CLEAN ACES showed a good attitude when making a winning start at Tipperary 54 days ago and is firmly expected to go in again. Fellow winner Final Decision is the main danger and Dark Image should compete for a place.

She made her backers sweat at Tipperary but FOUR CLEAN ACES at least showed a good attitude to get the job done

17:45 Beverley Handicap (Class 3) 10f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (1.75/1 +36%) Reach	1.75 1.75/1(+36%)	(6) Reach 1.75/1, Caught the eye when fourth in a good-quality handicap at York last month and down in grade, she didn't need to come off the bridle to justify favouritism at Nottingham a week ago. Carries 5 lb penalty but she's improving fast and looks the one to beat. Easy win at Nottingham last Sunday and a 5lb penalty may not be enough to stop her.
2	9 2nd (9) (5/1 -25%) Dubai Crystal	5 5/1(-25%)	(9) Dubai Crystal 5/1, Bred to be smart and left previous efforts well behind when making all in good style at Redcar in April. Progressed again when second on handicap debut at Ascot and limit hasn't yet been reached. Runner-up at Ascot on handicap debut and this well-bred 3yo is open to further improvement.
3	2 3rd (2) (9/1 +44%) Queen Of The Skies	9 9/1(+44%)	(2) Queen Of The Skies 9/1, AW novice winner on second start a year ago. Limitations rather exposed at a higher level later in 2022 and since left John & Thady Gosden. Handicaps more suitable on return to action. Ran five times for John & Thady Gosden; has changed yards and is not ruled out.
4	1 4th (1) (9/1 -50%) Tregony	9 9/1(-50%)	(1) Tregony 9/1, Superb strike rate, completing a 4-timer in 2021 and signed off 2022 with a hat-trick of big-field handicap victories on the AW. Equally effective on turf but off 8 months and this mark leaves no margin for error Progressive on AW last August/September; respected despite this being her first run since.
5th	3 5th (3) (33/1 -106%) Perfect Thunder	33 33/1(-106%)	(3) Perfect Thunder 33/1, Got the better of subsequent Irish Oaks second/listed winner Toy when landing a 7f maiden at the Curragh for Joseph O'Brien last spring. Made the frame in 3 handicaps later in 2022 and was shaping up nicely until a lack of an outing told on last month's reappearance for new yard. Up in trip. Has hinted this step up in trip may suit; could improve from last month's stable debut.
6th	5 6th (5) (8.5/1 -21%) My Little Queens	8.5 8.5/1(-21%)	(5) My Little Queens 8.5/1, Returned an improved performer this spring, making a successful reappearance at Chelmsford and better than ever for latest win at Hamilton a month ago (9.2f). Up 4 lb but she's thriving so has to be respected. Made it two wins from last three starts when scoring here and she has solid claims.
7th	4 7th (4) (16/1 -33%) Casilli	16 16/1(-33%)	(4) Casilli 16/1, Can boast an excellent Beverley record, winning 5 times in all at this venue, most recently in July over 8.5f. Just a couple of fair efforts last month and others are more persuasive back up in trip. Course specialise for whom this step up in trip is a likely plus; could be bang there.
8th	11 8th (11) (12/1 +0%) Centre Court	12 12/1(+0%)	(11) Centre Court 12/1, Doubled tally at Newcastle in April. Last couple of runs on turf suggest the assessor has her about right. Front-running 3yo who needs to produce something extra, but that can't be ruled out.
9th	7 9th (7) (12/1 -20%) Golden Melody	12 12/1(-20%)	(7) Golden Melody 12/1, Thirsk winner over 1m in September and easily best effort since when second over 9.8f at Ripon 10 days ago, nearest finish. Up 3 lb and this is a deeper race. Went close at Ripon ten days ago; back up 3lb here but might not be far away.
10th	10 10th (10) (66/1 -65%) Sophiesticate	66 66/1(-65%)	(10) Sophiesticate 66/1, Solid efforts at best in a quartet of starts in 2023 and others boast more scope. Good run behind My Little Queens at Hamilton but failed to back it up at Ayr.
11th	8 11th (8) (9/1 +25%) Leitzel	9 9/1(+25%)	(8) Leitzel 9/1, Maiden/novice winner at up to 1m first 2 starts at Haydock in August/September. Found Group 2 company all too much in the Rockfel Stakes and off since but she's something of an unknown quantity now handicapping up in distance. Won first two 2yo starts; tailed off in Group 2 last time but betting could be interesting.

LTO Selection:

Dubai Crystal hit the woodwork at Ascot (soft) on her latest outing and the unexposed daughter of Fastnet Rock would be a major player if handling the quicker ground conditions today. Preference, however, is for REACH. Fourth in a warm York handicap at last month's Dante meeting, the five-year-old took full advantage of a drop in class when winning at Nottingham a week ago. The return to deeper waters and a 5lb penalty might not be enough to stop her and she edges the vote. My Little Queens, Leitzel and top-weight Tregony are others to consider.

REACH Is improving at a rate of knots, taking care of 8 rivals with the minimum of fuss at Nottingham last week and a penalty/step up in grade may not stop her going in again. Dubai Crystal's profile is a progressive one and she's feared, with Perfect Thunder one to consider at longer odds.

The lightly raced 5yo REACH was impressive at Nottingham last Sunday and can defy a 5lb penalty. Dubai Crystal is second choice.

18:15 Beverley Handicap (Class 3) 7f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (6/1 +40%) Manigordo	6 6/1(+40%)	(6) Manigordo 6/1, Good second at Ayr early last month and shaped as if still in form when fourth of 9 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to firm) last weekend, just unable to reel in a group of prominently-ridden rivals. Not discounted.
2	7 2nd (7) (5/1 +17%) On The River	5 5/1(+17%)	(7) On The River 5/1, Has proved a different proposition since leaving Ben Haslam, winning at Pontefract and at this course (8.5f) before bringing up the hat-trick at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) 29 days ago, finding extra. Quicker ground shouldn't be an issue and further progress is feasible.
3	5 3rd (5) (4.5/1 +0%) Maywake	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(5) Maywake 4.5/1, Lost his way after winning at York's Dante meeting last season but has returned in good heart this campaign, again running creditably to finish third in that corresponding event this time around. Place claims are strong again from same mark,
4	4 4th (4) (3/1 +25%) The Cookstown Cafu	3 3/1(+25%)	(4) The Cookstown Cafu 3/1, Ended 2022 in fine form and picked up where he left off this year with a pair of victories at Redcar and Pontefract. Ran at least as well in defeat when second in 15-runner handicap at Thirsk (7f, good) 22 days ago and there's no reason he can't continue to progress.
5th	9 5th (9) (33/1 -65%) Visibility	33 33/1(-65%)	(9) Visibility 33/1, Produced a career best with a game victory under this claimer in 13-runner handicap (14/1) at Southwell (7.1f) 34 days ago. 5 lb rise demands more in this stronger contest, however.
6th	2 6th (2) (14/1 +22%) Zozimus	14 14/1(+22%)	(2) Zozimus 14/1, Useful sort for Donnacha O'Brien in 2021 (fourth in Cambridgeshire at Newmarket that season) and shaped as if needing the run on return from over a year off in April. Mark is workable if retaining his ability and this run will reveal more.
7th	1 7th (1) (2.5/1 +9%) Austrian Theory	2.5 2.5/1(+9%)	(1) Austrian Theory 2.5/1, Shaped well from a poor draw at Chester on his penultimate outing and built on that promise to land a 12-runner handicap (7/1) at Epsom (8.5f, good to firm) 9 days ago. That effort represented a career best and he's a leading player again from only 2 lb higher.
8th	8 8th (8) (22/1 -38%) Devasboy	22 22/1(-38%)	(8) Devasboy 22/1, Good second at Windsor (1m, heavy) in April before struggling in a tougher contest at Ascot on next start. Made move on disadvantaged part of track at Chester last time, so that run can be easily excused, but has work to do here all the same.

LTO Selection:

Assuming the cheekpieces continue to have a positive effect, this highly-competitive handicap could go the way of MAYWAKE, who wasn't beaten far with the new headgear introduced in a similar contest at York last month. The Cookstown Cafu, an old rival of the selection, is another with solid claims on these terms, while recent Epsom scorer Austrian Theory and Autumn Festival, who is already a dual C&D winner, also look live dangers here.

AUSTRIAN THEORY was seen to good effect under Joe Fanning at Epsom last week and shaped encouragingly enough at Chester on his previous outing to think that he should be capable of winning again after a slight rise in the weights. The Cookstown Cafu and On The River continue to progress and can't be ruled out, whilst Maywake arrives after several good placed efforts and is another to consider in a competitive affair.

Having been a creditable fourth in the Thirsk Hunt Cup two starts ago, AUTUMN FESTIVAL is taken to bounce back with a win.

18:45 Beverley Handicap (Class 4) 12f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (14/1 -40%) Dubai Leader	14 14/1(-40%)	(2) Dubai Leader 14/1, Doubled career tally with a bit to spare at Kempton (12f) in November but not replicated that in trio of starts this year, albeit again racing freely when weakening in to fifth at Hamilton (11f) 4 weeks ago. Mark has eased if refitting of hood settles him down. Stable's horses can bounce back from out of the blue, but hard to fancy on recent evidence.
2	11 2nd (11) (12/1 +0%) A La Francaise	12 12/1(+0%)	(11) A La Francaise 12/1, Successful from a 2 lb lower mark at Hamilton (11f) last summer and steadily worked her way back to form this term, sticking on well from poor position when runner-up back at that venue 11 days ago. Remains relatively unexposed at this sort of trip and good gallop to aim at will help. Second of five at Hamilton 11 days ago but needs something extra in this better race.
3	4 3rd (4) (6/1 +0%) Two Brothers	6 6/1(+0%)	(4) Two Brothers 6/1, Deservedly off the mark in an 8-runner C&D handicap in April and remained in form since, just touched off by a less-exposed rival at Hamilton (12f) 23 days ago. Mark has crept up a little more but he's another who can't be discounted in present groove. Commanding win over C&D in April and he's been a good second the next twice.
4	6 4th (6) (2.25/1 +36%) Fulfilled	2.25 2.25/1(+36%)	(6) Fulfilled 2.25/1, Steady improver in handicaps last season and took another step forward to make winning return at Ripon (9.7f) 10 days ago, impressing in how he travelled. Raised 4 lb since but highly likely there's more to come. One to consider up in trip. Won at Ripon on recent reappearance and could be suited by today's extra yardage.
5th	7 5th (7) (14/1 -27%) Where's Jeff	14 14/1(-27%)	(7) Where's Jeff 14/1, Ran well when just touched off over 10f here on return and duly built on that to end losing run at Hamilton (11f) in May, knuckling down well in first-time cheekpieces. Not in quite the same form back at that venue latest but he's another each-way player for in-form yard. Not quite at his best at Hamilton last time but has excellent record here; not ruled out.
6th	1 6th (1) (5/1 -43%) Eeetee	5 5/1(-43%)	(1) Eeetee 5/1, Dual winner last season who quickly put his York run behind him when making it 2 wins from 3 starts this campaign at Redcar (10f) 13 days ago, readily. 5 lb rise looks fair and no reason why he won't make his presence felt again. Two 1m2f wins from 3 runs this year; untested at 1m4f but strong at the finish last time.
7th	8 7th (8) (50/1 -52%) Bringbackmemories	50 50/1(-52%)	(8) Bringbackmemories 50/1, Won a Musselburgh juvenile hurdle at the start of the year but has failed to make a significant impact on the Flat since joining this yard, including on back of wind surgery when seventh of 8 in handicap at Ayr (10f) 18 days ago. Others make more appeal. His mark continues to fall but he's failed to threaten on the Flat this year.
8th	3 8th (3) (5/1 +44%) Fairmac	5 5/1(+44%)	(3) Fairmac 5/1, Capitalised on falling mark to land 14-runner handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, soft) in April. Respectable midfield effort despite racing closer to the pace than ideal at Hamilton (13f) subsequently and he rates a live each-way player here. Below par last time but convincing win at Musselburgh previously and not ruled out.
9th	5 9th (5) (12/1 -71%) The Nu Form Way	12 12/1(-71%)	(5) The Nu Form Way 12/1, Course winner who has done well since joining this yard, producing a career-best display to score at Chester (12.3f) 15 days ago. More on his plate from career-high mark back on a faster surface but he's clearly thriving at present. Two wins (including here) from his last three starts and he could go well once more.
10	10 \|U\| (10) (40/1 -43%) Conservative	40 40/1(-43%)	(10) Conservative 40/1, 1m novice winner on AW for Martyn Meade. Yet to get his head in front for present stable, albeit running one of his better races when third at Doncaster (10.2f) 8 days ago, granted run of the race. Likely he'll find a few too good here. Better effort when third of six over 1m2f at Doncaster but he's untested at today's trip.
10th	9 10th (9) (11/1 +8%) Tigerten	11 11/1(+8%)	(9) Tigerten 11/1, Dispelled fairly low-key efforts on AW/over jumps when resuming winning ways at Salisbury (14.2f) in May and matched that level when runner-up from 6 lb higher mark at Nottingham (14f, heavy) 4 weeks ago. Changed hands for £12,000 since and this trip may he on the short side for him. In fine form over 1m6f last month; different trip for this yard debut but still respected.

LTO Selection:

Eeetee is versatile and has arguably faced stiffer tests than the one he tackles today, so warrant serious consideration. However, he is yet to race over this far and, off 5lb higher than his recent Redcar success, he could be worth taking on today. With his stamina more assured, the equally in-form THE NU FORM WAY strikes as a more attractive proposition. He is a previous course winner and still has scope, despite creeping up the weights. Tigerten and Fairmac complete the shortlist.

Steadily progressive in handicaps as a 3-y-o, FULFILLED took another step forward when making a winning return at Ripon (9.7f) 10 days ago, impressing with how he travelled and always holding on when closed down close home. Completely unexposed at this trip, he's the type to do better again and earns the vote. Eeetee, who is 2-3 in handicaps so far this term rates a big threat, along with A La Francaise and the consistent Two Brothers.

The lightly raced 4yo FULFILLED shaped when winning over 1m2f at Ripon recently as though he could be even better at this trip.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
