13:35 Newmarket Handicap (Class 5) 8f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (10/3 +17%) Red Hat Eagle	3.333333 10/3(+17%)	(1) Red Hat Eagle 10/3, Dual 1m scorer last term who arrives in good nick, third of 11 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 10 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts. Third at Kempton ten days ago and should be thereabouts again from an unchanged mark.
2	8 2nd (8) (12/1 -33%) Charlatan	12 12/1(-33%)	(8) Charlatan 12/1, Completed a quick-fire hat-trick at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in February and he wasn't disgraced when third of 4 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good) 15 days ago. Needs considering off a 2 lb lower mark. Completed hat-trick on AW at start of the year but turf form is not so strong.
3	4 3rd (4) (6/1 -9%) At Liberty	6 6/1(-9%)	(4) At Liberty 6/1, Got back on track when fourth of 13 in handicap at Carlisle (9f, good to soft) 12 days ago. One for the shortlist off an easing mark. Shaped nicely after two months off when fourth at Carlisle; another to consider.
4	5 4th (5) (5/2 -33%) Kynsa	2.5 5/2(-33%)	(5) Kynsa 5/2, Cosily got off the mark with cheekpieces on for the first time in 7-runner handicap (6/4) at Kempton (8f) 24 days ago. Up 2 lb but he is expected to be bang there again. Having just third start for this stable when making all at Kempton; may well follow up.
5th	3 5th (3) (66/1 -1882%) Mumayaz	66 66/1(-1882%)	(3) Mumayaz 66/1, Already a dual AW winner in 2024 and he posted a good second of 5 in handicap at Brighton (6f, good) 15 days ago. Enters calculations back up in trip. Durable gelding who often goes close; should be in the thick of things once more.
6th	7 6th (7) (100/1 -100%) Tio Mio	100 100/1(-100%)	(7) Tio Mio 100/1, Made a winning debut for Alex French at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in December but underpeformed on final start for that yard in February and came in last at Beverley starting out for another stable two weeks ago. Something to prove. Tailed-off last on stable debut two weeks ago and best watched after that.
7th	6 7th (6) (50/1 -213%) Daring Greatly	50 50/1(-213%)	(6) Daring Greatly 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden who came in seventh of 10 on his handicap debut at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in January. More is required on his turf debut with tongue strap added. Modest form in four AW runs; needs to improve for fitting of tongue-strap on turf debut.
8th	2 8th (2) (50/1 -456%) Bernadine	50 50/1(-456%)	(2) Bernadine 50/1, In good form without winning this season until coming in only seventh of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good) 20 days ago. Cheekpieces are reached for now with more needed. Made frame first two outings this year but ran poorly last time and now wears cheekpieces.

It took 12 starts before KYNSA got off the mark, but she had plenty of placed form to her name prior to that Kempton triumph, when making all in first-time cheekpieces. If the headgear works a second time, she might come home in front again. Charlatan has been dropped 2lb after his Brighton third and, with Kyle McHugh claiming 5lb, he could go close. Mumayaz was beaten half a length at Brighton off this mark and rounds out the shortlist.

KYNSA opened her account with a bit to spare at Kempton last time and a 2 lb rise doesn't look sufficient to prevent her from following up. Brighton runner-up Mumayaz could emerge as the main danger, although in-form pair Red Hat Eagle and Charlatan are others to consider in an open handicap.

This can go to KYNSA who was well handled by Dominique Van Der Kraats at Kempton and may well follow up.

13:35 Newmarket Handicap (Class 5) 8f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:40 Limerick Maiden 7f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	4 1st (4) (5/2 -150%) Il Pellegrino	2.5 5/2(-150%)	(4) Il Pellegrino 5/2, Twice-raced colt. 4/9, third of 10 in maiden at Naas (5.9f, heavy). Off 8 months. The one to beat on his return to action. Decent 2yo form on soft; one to consider if handling quicker conditions.
2	6 2nd (6) (13/2 -18%) Monasterboice	6.5 13/2(-18%)	(6) Monasterboice 13/2, Fairly useful gelding. 16/1, good eighth of 13 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, good) 28 days ago. Stable having good spell. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Excuses last time; handles good ground so remains of interest.
3	15 3rd (15) (3/1 -33%) Settlement	3 3/1(-33%)	(15) Settlement 3/1, Fair filly. Respectable third of 14 in maiden at Gowran (8f, good to soft, 6/5) 19 days ago. Stable in good form. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Not taken lightly. Talented enough but not progressing; drop in trip and cheekpieces may do the trick.
4	13 4th (13) (7/1 +30%) Pink Oxalis	7 7/1(+30%)	(13) Pink Oxalis 7/1, Twice-raced filly. 7/1, third of 10 in maiden at this course (6.7f, soft) 37 days ago. Limerick third was encouraging and this trip should suit but more needed.
5th	14 5th (14) (100/1 -203%) Princess Aurea	100 100/1(-203%)	(14) Princess Aurea 100/1, Once-raced filly. Seventh of 12 in maiden (18/1) at Down Royal (7f, good) on debut 22 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. All the better for Down Royal debut run but may still need more time.
6th	3 6th (3) (6/1 +40%) An Mhi Abu	6 6/1(+40%)	(3) An Mhi Abu 6/1, Twice-raced gelding. 7/2, sixth of 15 in maiden at Fairyhouse (7f, good) 15 days ago. Leopardstown debut promise wasn't built on at Fairyhouse but still respected.
7th	5 7th (5) (7/1 -27%) Judge Me Not	7 7/1(-27%)	(5) Judge Me Not 7/1, Promising sort. Third of 7 in maiden at this course (8f, soft, 13/8) 37 days ago. Yard having good spell. Open to improvement. Didn't quite see out 1m on soft lately; drop in trip could suit if handling ground.
8th	10 8th (10) (200/1 -33%) It's A Gamble	200 200/1(-33%)	(10) It's A Gamble 200/1, Twice-raced filly. Tenth of 18 in maiden (200/1) at the Curragh (6.3f, good to firm) 17 days ago. No threat both recent maidens, eligible for a mark after this.
9th	11 9th (11) (300/1 -100%) Never Thought	300 300/1(-100%)	(11) Never Thought 300/1, Twice-raced filly. 100/1, thirteenth of 18 in maiden at the Curragh (6.3f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Well held twice in Curragh maidens on good ground; will be of more interest in handicaps.
10th	1 10th (1) (200/1 -33%) Main Stand	200 200/1(-33%)	(1) Main Stand 200/1, Once-raced colt. 50/1, thirteenth of 16 in maiden at Naas (8f, soft) on debut. Off 8 months. Never sighted after slow start on Naas debut in October; makes little appeal.
11th	2 11th (2) (300/1 -100%) Making A Move	300 300/1(-100%)	(2) Making A Move 300/1, Lightly-raced colt. Fifteenth of 18 in maiden at the Curragh (6.3f, good to firm, 250/1) 17 days ago. Nothing so far in maidens, seems very limited.
12th	7 12th (7) (300/1 -100%) Ali's Court	300 300/1(-100%)	(7) Ali's Court 300/1, Last of 14 in maiden (100/1) at Gowran (8f, good to soft) on debut 19 days ago. Keen and green when last of 14 on recent Gowran debut; best watched for now.
13th	8 13th (8) (300/1 -100%) Behomebyhalfpast	300 300/1(-100%)	(8) Behomebyhalfpast 300/1, Lightly-raced filly. Tenth of 12 in maiden at Down Royal (7f, good, 150/1) 22 days ago. Moderate form so far in maidens, bred to want further; easily passed over.
14th	12 14th (12) (300/1 -100%) Pass The Sugar	300 300/1(-100%)	(12) Pass The Sugar 300/1, 150/1, last of 15 in maiden at Fairyhouse (7f, good) on debut 15 days ago, missing break. Slowly away, last of 15 on recent Fairyhouse debut.
15th	9 15th (9) (300/1 -100%) Bless Me	300 300/1(-100%)	(9) Bless Me 300/1, Twice-raced filly. Ninth of 14 in maiden (100/1) at Gowran (8f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Slow to break, well held both maidens; easily ignored.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

IL PELLEGRINO hasn't run since last October but showed useful form as a juvenile and reappears in a winnable maiden. Out of a winning half-sister to French 2,000 Guineas winner Aussie Rules, he finished second on Curragh debut to a subsequent Listed and American Grade 3 winner and while he was a beaten odds-on favourite at Naas in October, the winner is capable while the runner-up finished fifth in the recent Irish 2,000 Guineas. Settlement has a big race-fitness advantage but is frustrating, having failed to build on her juvenile promise and is tried in first-time cheekpieces. An Mhi Abu disappointed on his second start at Fairyhouse recenty but had previously run well on Leopardstown debut.

IL PELLEGRINO may have been turned over at short odds when last seen in the autumn but the pair ahead of him on that occasion have turned out to be useful and he can get off the mark on his return. Dermot Weld's Settlement is second choice ahead of Judge Me Not.

Several with similar chances but perhaps it's worth giving another chance to SETTLEMENT, dropped in trip with cheekpieces fitted

13:40 Limerick Maiden 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:45 Redcar Stakes (Class 5) 6f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (14/1 +0%) Eighteen Fourteen	14 14/1(+0%)	(2) Eighteen Fourteen 14/1, Twice-raced maiden. Tenth of 16 in maiden (5/1) at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) 29 days ago, ending up racing wide despite a lowish draw (also reported to have lost action), not knocked about. Debut third at Pontefract; raced wide when tenth there since; remains with potential.
2	7 2nd (7) (10/3 +58%) Qaseem	3.333333 10/3(+58%)	(7) Qaseem 10/3, £60,000 2-y-o, Acclamation colt. Half-brother to useful 2-y-o 7f/1m winner Even Keel and 8.6f winner Dew You Believe. 33/1, seventh of 15 at Haydock (6f, good) on debut 16 days ago. That is looking decent form and he should progress. Promising debut seventh at Haydock; is in excellent hands and can build on it.
3	1 3rd (1) (6/1 -118%) Sonic Blue	6 6/1(-118%)	(1) Sonic Blue 6/1, Well-backed winner of 4-runner maiden at Doncaster (5f, good to soft) on debut. Poor when sixth of 10 at Ripon (5f, good to firm, 9/4) 17 days ago. More needed now. Debut Doncaster winner; sixth at Ripon since but could be worth another chance.
4	6 4th (6) (10/1 -122%) Peninsula Power	10 10/1(-122%)	(6) Peninsula Power 10/1, Foaled April 12. 100,000 gns yearling, Profitable colt. Half-brother to several winners, including useful 5f-7f winner Master Matt and 5f winner Kuwait City. Dam 6f winner. Likely-looking newcomer. Half-brother to five winners; son of Profitable rates interesting newcomer for good yard.
5th	5 5th (5) (11/2 -10%) Managing Director	5.5 11/2(-10%)	(5) Managing Director 11/2, Foaled February 26. 25,000 gns foal, €150,000 2-y-o, Cotai Glory colt. Half-brother to numerous winners, including smart 6f-8.6f winner Keystroke, useful 1¼m winner Indulged and useful 1m-10.3f winner Cosseted. Costly buy at the Breeze-Ups and one to note on debut. Half-brother to eight winners so this son of Cotai Glory needs considering on his debut.
6th	4 6th (4) (22/1 +12%) Love Games	22 22/1(+12%)	(4) Love Games 22/1, Twice-raced maiden. Eleventh of 16 in maiden (22/1) at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Well held in a pair of maidens at Thirsk/Pontefract; needs to take a major step forward.
7th	9 7th (9) (100/1 -52%) I Can Boogy	100 100/1(-52%)	(9) I Can Boogy 100/1, 6,000 gns foal, £42,000 yearling, Twilight Son filly. Half-sister to 5f winner Lady Lade and 6f winner Spirit of Applause. 33/1, showed nothing when last of 12 in novice at Thirsk (5f, heavy) on debut 63 days ago. Last in novice at Thirsk in April; Twilight Son filly needs to take a big step forward.
8th	8 8th (8) (11/4 -57%) Rogue Endeavour	2.75 11/4(-57%)	(8) Rogue Endeavour 11/4, Dandy Man colt. Half-brother to several winners, including 2-y-o 6f/7f winner Galeron and 1¼m-1½m winner Goldenfield, both useful. Promising fourth of 9 in maiden (28/1) at Leicester (6f, soft) on debut 25 days ago. Sets a good standard and better to come. Shaped well when debut Leicester fourth; firmly in the picture with progress on the cards.
9th	3 9th (3) (50/1 +24%) Hurricane Bea	50 50/1(+24%)	(3) Hurricane Bea 50/1, Foaled February 28. 25,000 gns foal, £22,000 yearling, 37,000 gns 2-y-o, Zoustar gelding. Dam, multiple 5f winner (including at 2 yrs), half-sister to useful winner up to 7f Spanish Bounty. Zoustar gelding; appeals on paper so this newcomer is worth a market check.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

ROGUE ENDEAVOUR shaped promisingly when fourth over 6f on debut at Leicester 25 days ago and, having displayed early speed in that race, the drop in trip to 5f could see him off the mark. Sonic Blue was well beaten at Ripon last time out but may emerge as the main danger, having previously made a winning debut at Doncaster. Debutant Managing Director might be worth a second look for the in-form Bryan Smart team, especially if the market speaks in his favour.

ROGUE ENDEAVOUR made a promising start at Leicester and seems sure to improve, so looks the way to go. Qaseem should progress also, while Peninsula Power and Managing Director are interesting newcomers.

A few with chances but Richard Fahey's Profitable colt PENINSULA POWER appeals on paper and is taken to go in on debut.

14:05 Down Royal Handicap 10f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
9	9 (9) (28/1 -100%) Sovereign City	28 28/1(-100%)	(9) Sovereign City 28/1, Ninth of 14 in handicap (33/1) at Leopardstown (9f, good) 2 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Regressive since showing mild promise at two, due to run at Leopardstown on Thursday.
1	8 1st (8) (22/1 -83%) Dream Ticket	22 22/1(-83%)	(8) Dream Ticket 22/1, Creditable tenth of 18 in handicap (33/1) at Leopardstown (8f, good) 16 days ago, having to pick way through. Up in trip. Not taken lightly. Two excellent runs in Dundalk nurseries last November, no sign of similar form this term.
2	3 2nd (3) (15/2 -25%) Model Approach	7.5 15/2(-25%)	(3) Model Approach 15/2, Thrice-raced maiden. 12/1, ninth of 13 in maiden at Leopardstown (8f, good) 36 days ago. Back up in trip. Yard having good spell. Blinkers on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Best of his three qualifying runs was on heavy ground, may improve with blinkers fitted.
3	7 3rd (7) (66/1 -100%) Dancing Steve	66 66/1(-100%)	(7) Dancing Steve 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Twelfth of 13 in handicap (80/1) at Limerick (11.5f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Three undistinguished maiden outings in quick succession, no better in his first handicap.
4	4 4th (4) (5/1 -67%) Presence	5 5/1(-67%)	(4) Presence 5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 11 in maiden at Dundalk (10.7f, 8/1) 70 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Form looks good and she could do better. Opening handicap mark is based on three Dundalk outings, should not be ruled out.
5th	5 5th (5) (15/2 -25%) Galician Girl	7.5 15/2(-25%)	(5) Galician Girl 15/2, Winner at Dundalk in March. Creditable eighth of 18 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, good, 14/1) 16 days ago. Back up in trip. Booking of Keane a plus. One to consider. Dundalk winner over 1m in April, subsequent turf form does not inspire much confidence.
6th	12 6th (12) (66/1 -100%) Fine Print	66 66/1(-100%)	(12) Fine Print 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Sixteenth of 18 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, good, 66/1) 16 days ago. Up in trip. Huge price when in rear on handicap debut at Leopardstown, massive improvement is needed.
7th	1 7th (1) (7/1 +13%) Northern Sonas	7 7/1(+13%)	(1) Northern Sonas 7/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 9 in handicap at Fairyhouse (10f, good to soft, 16/1) 23 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Others more persuasive. Maiden form suggests a possible preference for soft ground, well beaten on handicap debut.
8th	2 8th (2) (9/1 -13%) Cornahilt Soldier	9 9/1(-13%)	(2) Cornahilt Soldier 9/1, Scored here in May. Fifth of 6 in better handicap at Fairyhouse (12f, good, 20/1) 15 days ago. One of the few winners and enters calculations. Was hit with a 12lb rise for a 7f win at this venue, found 1m4f too far at Fairyhouse.
9th	6 9th (6) (11/1 -120%) Punta Coco	11 11/1(-120%)	(6) Punta Coco 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 9/2, respectable seventh of 14 in maiden at this course (10f, good) 22 days ago, not clear run. Makes handicap debut. Has failed to reproduce the form of Dundalk third in January but still worth considering.
10th	11 10th (11) (50/1 -150%) Dark Blue Diamond	50 50/1(-150%)	(11) Dark Blue Diamond 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, first run since leaving Denis Hogan when respectable eleventh of 18 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, good) 16 days ago, not knocked about. Up in trip. Modest form at Dundalk, down the field at 40-1 at Leopardstown on yard/turf/handicap debut.
11th	10 11th (10) (4/1 +50%) My Mate Tony	4 4/1(+50%)	(10) My Mate Tony 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden, very well bred but has shown next to nothing. Off 148 days/gelded. Significantly up in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Makes handicap/turf debut. Interesting to see a market move. Four moderate AW runs, other than respect for trainer hard to find positives, cheekpieces.

Cornahilt Soldier is a contender if judged on her 7f stroll here rather than her subsequent Fairyhouse defeat over 1m4f, but she comes up against some interesting handicap debutants. The pick of the bunch could be PRESENCE, who looks nicely treated after her Dundalk fourth in a race won by the classy Port Fairy. My Mate Tony starts off on a low rating, and Model Approach is another to enter the equation in first-time blinkers.

PRESENCE gets the tentative vote on her handicap debut. Cornahilt Soldier, Galician Girl and My Mate Tony are others to note and a market move for the last-named would be particularly interesting.

This could boil down to a battle involving handicap newcomers from good homes. A tentative vote goes to Natalia Lupini's PUNTA COCO

14:10 Newmarket Stakes (Class 4) 7f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (5/6 -34%) Ancient Truth	0.833333 5/6(-34%)	(1) Ancient Truth 5/6, Dubawi colt. Brother to useful winner up to 7f Great Truth. 5/2, perfect start when taking 6f novice on the other course here last month, travelling well and coming clear comfortably. Second and fourth won next time and he's sure to go on to better things. Won on debut on the Rowley Mile last month; stable has won three of last four runnings.
2	4 2nd (4) (10/1 -100%) Invited	10 10/1(-100%)	(4) Invited 10/1, €60,000 yearling, Kodiac colt out of unraced sister to high-class 5f/6f winner Caravaggio. 18/1, showed plenty when third, beaten just a length, behind very promising Godolphin winner at Newbury (6.5f) last week, sticking to his task. 7f will suit and he'll improve. Close third on debut at Newbury nine days ago; open to improvement and should go well.
3	7 3rd (7) (50/1 -400%) Thunder Wonder	50 50/1(-400%)	(7) Thunder Wonder 50/1, Foaled March 7. 85,000 gns yearling, Night of Thunder colt. Dam winner up to 12.5f (2-y-o 7f winner), won Prix de Royallieu. Appealing newcomer on paper. Faces no easy task on debut, but enough to like on breeding; watch market.
4	6 4th (6) (50/1 -400%) Royal Alliance	50 50/1(-400%)	(6) Royal Alliance 50/1, Foaled April 19. €105,000 yearling, resold 300,000 gns yearling, Persian King colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful winner up to 1m Alistair and winner Kivalik. Cost plenty and yard can ready one. Well worth a look. Faces a stiff task on debut, but something to like on pedigree and worth a market check.
5th	5 5th (5) (100/1 -614%) Marvelman	100 100/1(-614%)	(5) Marvelman 100/1, Foaled March 17. 140,000 gns yearling, Invincible Spirit colt. Dam maiden, sister to smart 1m winner (stayed 10.5f) Volta and half-sister to smart winner up to 12.5f Calvados Blues. Would need to be above-average to make a winning debut, but the market should be revealing.
6th	3 6th (3) (80/1 -1355%) Hidden Secret	80 80/1(-1355%)	(3) Hidden Secret 80/1, Foaled February 9. Dubawi colt. Brother to useful 5f-7f winner Island of Life and half-brother to smart winner up to 1m Gold Town and useful 2-y-o 9f winner Secret Image. Yard also run the promising winner Ancient Truth and the betting could guide. Looks the part on breeding and interesting to see how he fares in the market.
7th	8 7th (8) (200/1 -33%) Eye Puzzle	200 200/1(-33%)	(8) Eye Puzzle 200/1, 1,500 gns yearling, Expert Eye filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful 1¼m-1½m winner Puzzle Time and 13f winner Kuraka. 50/1, never dangerous on debut in 7f Chester seller last week. Some promise on her Chester debut; still needs major improvement.
8th	2 8th (2) (100/1 -52%) Dullingham	100 100/1(-52%)	(2) Dullingham 100/1, Harry Angel colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 1m-1¼m Flat and hurdles winner Burdett Road for connections. 18/1, very green and always behind in 6f Salisbury novice on recent debut. Last of 12 on his Salisbury debut 11 days ago; probably needs more time.

Charlie Appleby has landed the last two runnings of this and has a couple entered here, with debut scorer Ancient Truth trying to give 6lb to the unraced HIDDEN SECRET. A homebred son of Dubawi and related to numerous winners, he might be able to make the most of the weight concession. Invited is another to consider seriously after his Newbury third, when running on to go under by a length. He cannot be discounted in a race that may be full of future winners.

ANCIENT TRUTH looked a good prospect when making a successful start over 6f on the other course here, beating a couple of subsequent winners, and he's sure to improve over this longer trip so can defy a penalty. Invited made a promising start at Newbury last week and is sure to progress also. Hidden Secret, a stablemate of the selection, and Royal Alliance are interesting newcomers.

This can go to ANCIENT TRUTH after his successful debut on the Rowley Mile last month. That form has since been boosted,

6th	4 6th (4) (7/2 -5%) Solomon Coop	3.5 7/2(-5%)	(4) Solomon Coop 7/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Shaped better than result when seventh of 11 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, good, 5/1) 16 days ago. Expected to be bang there back at 7f. Down 2lb and drops back to 7f so don't rule out.
7th	3 7th (3) (4/1 +0%) Emerald Eclipse	4 4/1(+0%)	(3) Emerald Eclipse 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable second of 15 in maiden (7/1) at Fairyhouse (6.1f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Respected back in a handicap.

Needs a couple of these to falter. Mild promise on turf and AW last year; gelded since but may need this comeback run.

EMERALD ECLIPSE reverts to handicaps having run well in a recent maiden and is suited by fast ground and this distance. His initial Dundalk runs were quite encouraging and while he was well held on handicap debut at Gowran, the third-placed horse won subsequently while the winner, runner-up and fourth-placed horses were each subsequently placed. Solomon Coop has a similar profile, in that he was well held on his own handicap debut recently but has useful form in maidens and has form at this distance. Hemight debuts in handicaps and while well enough held at Tipperary last month, should be better suited by this faster ground and runs in first-time cheekpieces.

SOLOMON COOP was better than the result on his recent 1m Leopardstown handicap debut and can come good now dropping back to 7f. Joseph O'Brien's Emerald Eclipse is second choice ahead of Byzantine Empress.

Sure to appreciate the return to this trip EMERALD ECLIPSE (nap) could prove the one to beat on ground to suit

There was plenty to like about the way KINETIC FORCE opened his account on debut at Lingfield and, with that experience under his belt, he could prove hard to beat. Airspeed failed to justify favouritism on debut when third at Carlisle, but the winner Ain't Nobody boosted the form when landing the Windsor Castle Stakes on Wednesday at Royal Ascot, and Karl Burke's charge remains open to improvement. Recent Pontefract second Lady Luzon may do best of the remainder.

The well-bred KINETIC FORCE created a good impression when scoring first time up at Lingfield and can make it 2-2 with improvement on the cards. Airspeed was sent off favourite when chasing home the Windsor Castle winner at Carlisle and will progress. Doncaster-winner Al Hussar should also be on the premises again.

Karl Burke's AIRSPEED appeared to be strongly fancied at Carlisle and perhaps the slow ground blunted his speed.

Attracted support and overcame inexperience to make a successful debut in extended 7f Leopardstown maiden earlier this month, staying on under hand riding. Looks a fine prospect sure to progress and key player. Well bred; scored cosily at Leopardstown; trainer has won this race six times; respected.

Needed every yard of the 6f trip at Leicester; sold to new owners for £400,000 on Monday.

That form doesn't amount to much but he can improve. Runner-up in big field at Newbury but the winner was comfortably held here on Tuesday.

Half-sister to winner up to 9f Lastrada and 2-y-o 6f winner Sweet Harmony.

Much sharper second time up and ran to a fair level when runner-up at Sandown (7f, 50/1) last week, well positioned and just lacking the pace of the winner late on. Plenty more needed still. Seemed to run well at Sandown last week but the form may not prove reliable.

Up in trip and sure to improve. 285,000gns (breeze-up) 2yo; shaped encouragingly at Hamilton and may progress.

Stiff introduction but clearly well touted at the Breeze-Ups and this race saw a winning newcomer (the first at the Royal meeting since 1996) two years ago. 260,000euros (breeze-up) 2yo; by Street Sense; looks the pick of the newcomers.

BEDTIME STORY, a daughter of Frankel out of dual Nunthorpe winner Mecca's Angel, could hardly appeal more on pedigree and, on the back of a comfortable success over the extended 7f at Leopardstown 16 days ago, the sole representative of Ballydoyle is very hard to ignore, especially when Aidan O'Brien's record in this race is taken into account. By the same sire, Age Of Gold made a pleasing start over 6f on debut at Yarmouth and, now stepped up in trip, he could be a fly in the ointment for O'Brien as he bears down on a seventh Chesham winner. There are a host of potential improvers, with stablemates Expensive Rose and Lazy Griff ones to consider each-way, while big runs from Motawahij and Jewel Of London cannot be ruled out.

BEDTIME STORY looked a fine prospect when running out an easy winner first time up at Leopardstown and is bred to go to the top, so she can give Aidan O'Brien another victory in this listed contest. The clear danger is Godolphin's Age of Gold, who was impressive when scoring at Yarmouth and can improve plenty himself. Leicester-winner Pentle Bay was highly in demand at Monday's sale and is a big player up in trip. Motawahij is one to note at bigger odds.

Bedtime Story and Age Of Gold are promising. PENTLE BAY, Miss El Fundi and Chilly Breeze are interesting at bigger odds.

NOT JUST ANY EAGLE fared best of those ridden off the pace when finishing an eye-catching third after meeting trouble in running over an extended 1m1f at Gowran earlier this month. Stepping up in trip off an unchanged mark, he may be tough to stop. Explorers Way shaped with promise on just his third start for this yard when finishing third over 1m2f at Navan latest, and he is respected off the same mark. Limestone Red should appreciate going up in distance and is noted too.

CHOPSTICKS has races in him and could be the way to go. Not Just Any Eagle and Explorers Way are also high on the shortlist.

This looks like a good chance for four-time AW winner EXPLORERS WAY to record a first turf win following a pleasing third at Navan

With Silvestre De Sousa enjoying a resurgence since his return from Hong Kong, it may pay to side with MISS BODACIOUS. Karl Burke's filly dead-heated to win at Chelmsford on her second appearance, despite a blocked run, and begins her handicap career off a reasonable mark of 74. Unico has her first outing for Chris Gordon after a Yarmouth success and she can go well, despite a 3lb rise. Miss Anya and Cuban Melody bring consistency to the party.

There's a strong possibility MISS BODACIOUS will be better over a bit further in due course, but an opening BHA mark of 74 is potentially lenient for a filly whose physique, attitude and pedigree suggest there is even better to come, so she's taken to come out on top. Boadicia ran out a ready winner of a Salisbury handicap 4 weeks ago and is feared most, along with Cuban Melody.

This can go to BOADICIA (nap) who looked progressive when making a successful handicap debut at Salisbury. She can defy an 8lb rise.

14:50 Limerick Handicap 8f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	3 1st (3) (2/1 +40%) Quadruple	2 2/1(+40%)	(3) Quadruple 2/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Second of 11 in maiden at Naas (8f, good, 15/8) 42 days ago. Stable having good spell. Makes handicap debut. Respected as an unexposed 3-y-o. Probably handicapped about right but could improve for handicap debut and a player.
2	5 2nd (5) (40/1 -186%) Katie Bairdie	40 40/1(-186%)	(5) Katie Bairdie 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 28/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, twelfth of 13 in handicap at the Curragh (6.3f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Up in trip. Below her best last three times and will need to find more raised to this trip.
3	6 3rd (6) (7/2 +0%) Help Me Rhonda	3.5 7/2(+0%)	(6) Help Me Rhonda 7/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Good third of 16 in handicap (9/1) at Gowran (7f, good) 6 days ago. Likely to improve. Gets the vote. Was green over 7f on h'cap debut; this longer trip should suit; go well off the same mark.
4	2 4th (2) (11/8 -15%) September Leaves	1.375 11/8(-15%)	(2) September Leaves 11/8, Lightly-raced winner. Didn't need to improve to win 13-runner maiden at this C&D (good to firm, 11/8) 10 days ago. Should go well. Won a C&D maiden; talented claimer taking off 7lb is a help and she is a big player.
5th	1 5th (1) (22/1 -389%) Miss Abby Jools	22 22/1(-389%)	(1) Miss Abby Jools 22/1, C&D winner. 20/1, bit below form seventh of 13 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, good). Off 10 months. The betting should help guide to expectations on her return to action. Won a C&D handicap on soft ground a year ago; lacks a recent run but check market.
6th	4 6th (4) (40/1 +39%) The Fog Horn	40 40/1(+39%)	(4) The Fog Horn 40/1, 33/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (6f). 10lb higher now. Off 158 days. Significantly up in trip. Is now just 1lb higher than that last winning mark, so considered on return.

SEPTEMBER LEAVES seemed to briefly idle late-on when winning a course-and-distance maiden just 10 days ago and had previously shown good handicap form. Out of a winning half-sister to Hong Kong Group 1 winner Designs On Rome, she has improved this year and having met trouble in-running when finishing fourth in a valuable Curragh handicap in May, competes from just 2lb higher today. Frankel-sired Quadruple is out of a Group 2 winner and while her form is a little limited, is consistent and drops to handicap company. Help Me Rhonda ran well on handicap debut at Gowran six days ago and while well held by the first two finishers, shaped as though today's mile might suit.

HELP ME RHONDA shaped well in a big field on her recent Cork handicap debut and can build on that promise now. Fellow 3-y-o fillies Quadruple and September Leaves can give her most to think about.

A C&D maiden winner last time, SEPTEMBER LEAVES gets the benefit of a talented claimer's 7lb allowance today and can follow up.

Won four in 2023 but has lost his last 15 races; good mark and fair form recently; chance.
5th	9 5th (9) (20/1 -43%) King's School	20 20/1(-43%)	(9) King's School 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 22/1, first run since leaving David Simcock when fifth of 6 in handicap at Haydock (10.2f, firm) 15 days ago.

One to consider. 3-34; yet to win over 1m; fair fourth over C&D last time and is worth considering.
9th	12 9th (12) (15/2 -36%) Tacitus	7.5 15/2(-36%)	(12) Tacitus 15/2, 4/1, second of 10 in handicap at Musselburgh (8f, good) 50 days ago. Only win came here and threatening to come good again. Won this off 2lb lower in 2023; good second at Musselburgh last time; chance.

Despite his advancing years, the well-handicapped YOUNG FIRE has every chance of registering a second C&D success. David O'Meara's nine-year-old defied a mark of 96 here in October 2020 and finds himself 33lb lower in the handicap at present, while his two recent placed efforts suggest he's in good form. Fellow track-and-trip scorer Tacitus heads the list of possible dangers along with the Adrian Nicholls-trained Due Consideration, who finished a half-length second at Ripon earlier this month.

YOUNG FIRE looks ready to strike again judged on his latest Ayr performance and could be the way to go. Chatty is shaping up well and respected, while Tacitus is also threatening to end his losing run.

Several have a chance on their best form notably TACITUS, who won this 12 months ago, and was a good second last time at Musselburgh.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (16/1 -60%) Isle Of Jura	16 16/1(-60%)	(7) Isle Of Jura 16/1, Showed smart form when winning 4 of his 5 starts in Bahrain over the winter and continued his good run of form with victory in 6-runner listed event at Goodwood (9.9f) 29 days ago, staying on to lead final 50 yds. Has more on his plate here, though. Prolific in Bahrain and a Listed win at Goodwood latest; could have more left in the tank.
2	6 2nd (6) (66/1 -164%) Goliath	66 66/1(-164%)	(6) Goliath 66/1, Dictated a slow tempo and came home an easy winner of Longchamp Group 3 in May. Ran at least as well in defeat in Group 2 at Chantilly (11.9f) next time but a jolt of improvement required to play a leading role in this deeper race. Group 3 win at Longchamp last month but further improvement is needed today.
3	8 3rd (8) (80/1 -3100%) Middle Earth	80 80/1(-3100%)	(8) Middle Earth 80/1, Well-made colt who signed off a progressive first season with victory in listed company at this course (14.2f) in October. Overcame a pace bias when making a winning return in Group 3 at Newbury (12f) last month and could easily have more to offer. Reappeared with Group 3 win and this 4yo is firmly on the up for his top yard; player.
4	1 4th (1) (80/1 -300%) Candleford	80 80/1(-300%)	(1) Candleford 80/1, Smart gelding who resumed winning ways under a fine front-running ride after 8 months off in listed event at the Curragh (12f, good) 4 weeks ago. Likely to come up short back up in grade, though. On balance of his form he's a shade vulnerable, but worth a second look given Ascot record.
5th	2 5th (2) (50/1 -2967%) Continuous	50 50/1(-2967%)	(2) Continuous 50/1, Much improved in second half of 2023, winning Great Voltigeur Stakes at York and St Leger at Doncaster comfortably before an excellent fifth in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp on final start. Lacks a recent run but sets the form standard. St Leger winner who is the one to beat if at the top of his game on this reappearance.
6th	3 6th (3) (150/1 -200%) Crypto Force	150 150/1(-200%)	(3) Crypto Force 150/1, Dual winner last year who ran about as well as could be expected in the Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh (10.5f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Faces another stiff task and not hard to look elsewhere. Encouraging third in Tattersalls Gold Cup but beaten 11l and needs sizeable step forward.
7th	5 7th (5) (200/1 -300%) Elegant Man	200 200/1(-300%)	(5) Elegant Man 200/1, Produced a really smart handicap performance when bossing a deep field from a BHA mark of 108 on just his fourth career start at Newcastle on Good Friday. Failed to repeat that pitched into a Group 1 on his first outing on turf at the Curragh but it's too soon to writing him off. Bundles of promise on AW; soundly beaten in Group 1 on turf debut, but faster ground today.
8th	4 8th (4) (50/1 -614%) Desert Hero	50 50/1(-614%)	(4) Desert Hero 50/1, Landed King George (Handicap) at this meeting 12 month ago before following up in the Gordon Stakes and finishing third in the St Leger. Excellent reappearance at Sandown and better judged on that form having got warm beforehand when disappointing in race won by Middle Earth at Newbury. Disappointing at Newbury last time but there's lots to like if ignoring that performance.
9th	9 9th (9) (250/1 -2173%) Missed The Cut	250 250/1(-2173%)	(9) Missed The Cut 250/1, Smart performer who landed the Golden Gates Handicap in 2022 for George Boughey, and has been holding his form well of late, winning a brace of Grade 3s at Santa Anita before a good second in Grade 2 at Keenland. More needed to trouble the principals here, however. Won at Royal Ascot in 2022; two US Grade 3 wins this year; could be involved.

St Leger winner CONTINUOUS should be a real force over middle distances this season and can put down a significant marker on his first start of the campaign. Versatile regarding the ground, the son of Heart's Cry was far from disgraced when fifth in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe when last seen and the forecast quicker surface could be a key element to a dominate effort here. Middle Earth was seventh in the St Leger but returned with a gutsy success in the Aston Park at Newbury last month. The Gosdens' representative is feared most, although Desert Hero is surely better than he managed when fifth in that Group 3 contest and enters calculations. A winner at this meeting in 2022 when with George Boughey, Missed The Cut, a multiple Grade 3 winner for his new trainer in the States, is noted back at this venue with a first-time tongue-tie added.

CONTINUOUS lacks a recent run but he was much improved in the second half of last year and will prove hard to beat if returning anywhere near that sort of level. Middle Earth did well to overcome a pace bias in a Newbury Group 3 last month and could easily have more to come, while Desert Hero is better judged on his excellent reappearance at Sandown.

Bahrain revelation ISLE OF JURA continued the excellent work at Goodwood and is the selection ahead of US raider Missed The Cut.

1	8 1st (8) (2/1 +20%) Lady Doris	2 2/1(+20%)	(8) Lady Doris 2/1, Winner at Navan in May. Good second of 6 in handicap (9/4) at Fairyhouse (12f, good) 15 days ago. Going the right way and fancied to get back to winning ways. Maiden winner over this trip was just caught over 1m4f last time; suited back to this trip.
2	1 2nd (1) (16/1 -33%) Fiver Friday	16 16/1(-33%)	(1) Fiver Friday 16/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Hamilton in June. Last of 6 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good, 17/2) 6 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Easy to put a line through latest effort and he'd been in top form prior to that. Won at Ayr and Hamilton this year; has to rebound from a poor run over 7f six days ago.
3	5 3rd (5) (9/2 -100%) Hasna	4.5 9/2(-100%)	(5) Hasna 9/2, Won 12-runner maiden (3/1) at Naas (10.4f, soft) 54 days ago, suited by increase in trip. Pedigree points to ongoing improvement and, while the handicapper hasn't been lenient with her opening mark, she should feature. Navan maiden winner over this trip; that form hasn't been enhanced since; needs more.
4	3 4th (3) (10/1 +60%) Oriole	10 10/1(+60%)	(3) Oriole 10/1, Thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (12f, 33/1). Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving Ian Patrick Donoghue. Something to prove. Lost her form at the end of last season but could go well for new yard if back to best.
5th	4 5th (4) (16/1 -256%) Solar Breeze	16 16/1(-256%)	(4) Solar Breeze 16/1, Good sixth of 12 in handicap at the Curragh (10f, good, 28/1) 28 days ago. Not discounted. Dual winner ran a solid race in a Curragh premier handicap last time and can be involved.
6th	2 6th (2) (14/1 +13%) Yokkell	14 14/1(+13%)	(2) Yokkell 14/1, Latest win at Dundalk in February. Third of 5 in handicap (15/2) at Chester (12.3f, soft) 28 days ago. Holding form but doesn't seem to have much in hand. Won three times on AW over the winter and ran well at Chester last time; chance.
7th	7 7th (7) (8/1 -33%) Mo Ghille Mar	8 8/1(-33%)	(7) Mo Ghille Mar 8/1, 9/4, didn't need to improve to win 11-runner maiden at Navan (10.2f, good) 14 days ago, just holding on. Worthy of respect. Demoted after winning a h'cap but made no mistake in a maiden last time; up another 2lb.
8th	6 8th (6) (12/1 -50%) Alma Libre	12 12/1(-50%)	(6) Alma Libre 12/1, Below form ninth of 16 in handicap (13/2) at Fairyhouse (10f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Should strip fitter for latest effort. Won a handicap off 1lb lower last year; has to improve from seasonal debut.

HASNA looked a decent sort when winning on her second start by a couple of lengths at Naas and although she is making her handicap debut here, a mark of 87 may underestimate the daughter of Sea The Moon. Lady Doris was caught late on over 1m4f last time out at Fairyhouse but has a better chance of lasting home over this trip, leaving top-weight Fiver Friday as an interesting alternative, with jockey Robert Whearty claiming 5lb from the saddle.

LADY DORIS is progressing and, having been collared late over 1m4f last time, she's likely to take another step forward back down in trip, so she's preferred to Hasna, who is open to further improvement on the back of her Naas maiden success. Mo Ghille Mar can't be ruled out.

Caught on the line over 1m4f at Fairyhouse last time after going clear, the lightly-raced LADY DORIS can make amends back to this trip

Dam, winner up to 1¼m (2-y-o 7f winner), sister to smart winner up to 9f (stayed 14.5f) Stipulate. Sword has to be considered the stable first string unless the betting suggests otherwise. Market support on debut woud make him interesting, but Sword looks the stable's main hope.
2	4 2nd (4) (5/1 +29%) Arabian Light	5 5/1(+29%)	(4) Arabian Light 5/1, Kingman gelding. Half-brother to useful winner up to 8.6f Symbol of Light and smart 9.5f-11f winner Sapphire Seas. One to note on in the betting on debut. Already gelded, but attractive pedigree and interesting to see how he fares in the market.
3	1 3rd (1) (12/1 -85%) Dosman	12 12/1(-85%)	(1) Dosman 12/1, 10/3, won 13-runner novice at Kempton (7f) on reappearance 17 days ago. Likely to improve but he'll need a very useful effort to defy a penalty in this field. Did it well on his Kempton reappearance; 1m should suit and shortlisted despite penalty.
4	9 4th (9) (17/2 -55%) Skipper	8.5 17/2(-55%)	(9) Skipper 17/2, Promising type. 18/1, 1½ lengths fifth of 15 to reopposing Kilt in novice on the Rowley Mile (good) on debut 36 days ago. Looks sure to improve. Less than 2l behind Kilt on his debut and 6lb better off; may not be far away.
5th	2 5th (2) (10/1 -186%) First Conquest	10 10/1(-186%)	(2) First Conquest 10/1, Made all in the Wood Ditton on debut and something presumably not right when fading into a well-held fourth at York since. Retains potential for a top yard with a strong recent record in this. Won the Wood Ditton on debut, but disppointing at York next time; needs to bounce back.
6th	3 6th (3) (25/1 -456%) Kilt	25 25/1(-456%)	(3) Kilt 25/1, Much improved from his AW debut in December when winning a 15-runner novice on the Rowley Mile (good) 5 weeks ago. A smart prospect and much respected despite the penalty. Won a novice on the Rowley Mile last month; stable won this with Baaeed in 2021.
7th	10 7th (10) (80/1 -3100%) Sword	80 80/1(-3100%)	(10) Sword 80/1, 500,000 gns Kingman colt who has shown plenty of promise in 2 outings over 1m 6 months apart, latterly finishing third of 11 in a strong Doncaster novice. Surely only a matter of time before he's winning. Shown plenty of ability in both starts; major player getting 6lb from the previous winners.
8th	12 8th (12) (100/1 -150%) Urban Lion	100 100/1(-150%)	(12) Urban Lion 100/1, Zoustar colt. Half-brother to 15f winner Folly Beach and 1¾m-16.5f winner Easter Icon. Makes his debut in a warm-looking race. Tough starting point; may not come into his own unril tackling handicaps over further.
9th	8 9th (8) (100/1 -400%) Prophet's Path	100 100/1(-400%)	(8) Prophet's Path 100/1, €60,000 2-y-o by Masar. Half-brother to 5f winner Joshua R and 7f winner Initio. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner. Will need to be very useful to make a winning start to his career here. Already gelded and probably only of interest if attracting support.
10th	6 10th (6) (100/1 -400%) Midnight Ravens	100 100/1(-400%)	(6) Midnight Ravens 100/1, Fair form when runner-up on the second of 2 outings on AW for Barry Brennan at the end of 2023. A much bigger performance will be needed to figure prominently on yard debut. Showed promise in two starts on the AW for another yard in December; one for handicaps.
11th	5 11th (5) (200/1 -100%) Caballo De Mar	200 200/1(-100%)	(5) Caballo De Mar 200/1, Hasn't shown enough in his 2 starts to suggest he'll get heavily involved here. Out of the frame in both starts, though did show some promise last time; one for handicaps.
12th	13 12th (13) (250/1 -279%) Velvet Vortex	250 250/1(-279%)	(13) Velvet Vortex 250/1, Territories gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 7f winner Velvet Vista and 1m-1¼m winner Velvet Vision. Best watched on debut. Already gelded and will do well to win this on debut.

14th	11 14th (11) (150/1 -127%) Time To Rule	150 150/1(-127%)	(11) Time To Rule 150/1, Well-beaten ninth of 11 to First Conquest in Wood Ditton on debut 65 days ago. Around 26l behind First Conquest in the Wood Ditton; hard to recommend.

Charlie Appleby has trained the last two winners of this contest, but First Conquest disappointed at York having made a successful start to his career in the Wood Ditton. He's still preferred to the newcomer Arabian Light, while Ombudsman is a 340,000gns Godolphin debutant representing the Gosdens, who also run SWORD. A promising third at Doncaster on his reappearance, the Kingman colt may prove the one to side with in an open contest. Both Dosman and Kilt made a winning return to action and are others to consider, despite carrying penalties.

This looks a strong novice but it's still hard to ignore the claims of SWORD after his promising reappearance at Doncaster 3 weeks ago. On 6 lb better terms Skipper might be able to turn around last month's Rowley Mile form with Kilt and give the selection most to do.

This can go to SWORD who still looked green when third at Doncaster last month. He looks to have an even bigger effort in him.

Sixteen runs since last win in 2021 but stepped up on reappearance when sixth of 14 in handicap (8/1) at Gowran (8f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Recent form doesn't give much cause for optimism; 5lb wrong here.
3	4 3rd (4) (5/1 -11%) On Our Radar	5 5/1(-11%)	(4) On Our Radar 5/1, Respectable sixth of 16 in handicap at this course (7f, good to firm, 13/2) 10 days ago. Enters calculations. Better AW form, just okay runs on turf of late; not sure this is his best trip.
4	9 4th (9) (17/2 -70%) Spring Collection	8.5 17/2(-70%)	(9) Spring Collection 17/2, 12/1, creditable fifth of 22 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Looks competitive on form. Leopardstown fifth; cheekpieces now tried and return to 1m to suit; could go well.
5th	12 5th (12) (50/1 -52%) Tynamite	50 50/1(-52%)	(12) Tynamite 50/1, Latest win at Dundalk in December. Eleventh of 14 in handicap (66/1) at Tipperary (7.1f, soft) 24 days ago. 0-24 on turf, soft ground against him on latest; 2lb wrong and remains opposable.
6th	8 6th (8) (18/1 +10%) Init Together	18 18/1(+10%)	(8) Init Together 18/1, Modest maiden who ran badly when last of 20 in handicap at Navan (10f, soft, 16/1) on final outing 8 months ago. Maiden went close off similar marks last summer; has run well fresh so don't rule out.
7th	7 7th (7) (10/1 +17%) Amemri	10 10/1(+17%)	(7) Amemri 10/1, C&D winner who wasn't seen to best effect when seventeenth of 19 in handicap at the Curragh (6.3f, good to firm) 17 days ago, eased off having met trouble. Back up in trip. C&D winner a year ago; no surprise if she improved on recent form.
8th	1 8th (1) (9/2 +0%) Sirjack Thomas	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(1) Sirjack Thomas 9/2, Nineteen runs since last win in 2023 and operating below best at present but on a good mark and this represents a drop in grade. Inconsistent nowadays but down to career-low and first run in this grade.
9th	5 9th (5) (16/1 -14%) Bright Dick	16 16/1(-14%)	(5) Bright Dick 16/1, Winner at Dundalk in April but below form when thirteenth of 22 in handicap at Navan (10.2f, good, 16/1) 14 days ago. Back down in trip. AW winner in April but recent turf form leaves him with plenty to find.
10th	6 10th (6) (25/1 +0%) Cu Chulainn	25 25/1(+0%)	(6) Cu Chulainn 25/1, 66/1, twelfth of 16 in handicap at Fairyhouse (10f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Yet to show much this season. Dual winner on the AW in Britain but has offered precious little since arriving in Ireland.
11th	3 11th (3) (8/1 -45%) Ano Manna	8 8/1(-45%)	(3) Ano Manna 8/1, 17/2, possibly still needed the run when ninth of 14 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, soft) 39 days ago. Back to a potentially lenient mark and one to consider. Didn't seem to get home on soft latest; back down to a nice mark so don't rule out.
12th	10 12th (10) (9/1 -157%) Thirtysecondstreet	9 9/1(-157%)	(10) Thirtysecondstreet 9/1, 20/1, third of 15 in handicap at Gowran (8f, good) 6 days ago, better placed than most. Last week's Gowran third just 2lb higher and entitled to be thereabouts.

AMEMRI won today's earlier-race on this fixture last year and is better than her latest run. A three-time winner who is well suited by this distance, she met minor traffic when disappointing at the Curragh but had previously run well at Cork in May, is generally reliable and should again compete from her rating. Thirtysecondstreet has been placed twice from 15 runs, including at Gowran recently and if she can replicate that form, has obvious claims with ground and race conditions in her favour. On Our Radar was placed on his only other run at a mile and while he was well held here recently, competes from a career low rating under his regular 7lb claimer.

9-y-o SIRJACK THOMAS needs to better his recent efforts, but he's slipped to a very attractive mark and this represents a drop in grade, so he's put forward as the tentative selection. On Our Radar and Ano Manna are a couple of others to consider.

Quite an open look to this but SPRING COLLECTION appeals now dropped slightly in trip with cheekpieces tried

1	4 1st (4) (9/2 +44%) Jesmond Dawn	4.5 9/2(+44%)	(4) Jesmond Dawn 9/2, 6/1, creditable sixth of 10 in handicap at Carlisle (9f, good to soft) 23 days ago, doing too much too soon. Significantly down in trip. Not taken lightly. Three fair runs from 7f-1m1f since going into h'caps; quite interesting down in trip.
2	1 2nd (1) (6/1 +50%) Soul Singer	6 6/1(+50%)	(1) Soul Singer 6/1, Fair maiden who ran creditably when fifth in 10-runner handicap (15/2) at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) last week. Expected to be bang there if turning up in similar form. Twice 2nd over 6f on the AW in March; close fifth at Doncaster last time.

5th	9 5th (9) (16/1 +0%) Forever Eighteen	16 16/1(+0%)	(9) Forever Eighteen 16/1, Ran poorly in a first-time visor when twelfth of 14 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 34 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Best form on AW, but fair Thirsk 3rd as a 2yo; poor in visor latest; cheekpieces now on.
6th	2 6th (2) (33/1 -175%) Zaman Daar	33 33/1(-175%)	(2) Zaman Daar 33/1, Modest maiden in a first-time tongue strap when sixth of 7 in nursery at Kempton (6f). Off 9 months. Difficult ask. Promise last season including fourth in 7f nursery; gelded since; lacks a run this season.
7th	8 7th (8) (5/1 -25%) Yiengaa	5 5/1(-25%)	(8) Yiengaa 5/1, Took a further step forward to get off the mark in 7-runner handicap (5/1) at Brighton (6f, good) 15 days ago, well on top finish. Should remain competitive. Suited by return to 6f when off the mark last time; that form sound; chance off 7lb higher.
8th	10 8th (10) (12/1 -336%) Amazing Winnie	12 12/1(-336%)	(10) Amazing Winnie 12/1, Revived all of a sudden when off the mark in 10-runner handicap (14/1) at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) 6 days ago, always holding on. Much respected under a penalty. Off the mark over 7f last weekend (better than bare form); a possible back at 6f.

Having gained a breakthrough victory under this rider at Doncaster last week, AMAZING WINNIE could be hard stop if this doesn't come too soon. Kevin Ryan's filly has a 6lb penalty to contend with on the back of that win, but she has plenty of scope for improvement and this unexposed three-year-old remains the one to beat. She is marginally preferred to Arlington, who hasn't been seen since winning at Newcastle 96 days ago, while handicap debutant Scarfo is also worth a second look.

SOUL SINGER more or less matched the pick of his all-weather form when fifth at Doncaster last week and a similar sort of performance could be enough to see him shed his maiden status. Last-time-out winners Yengaa and Amazing Winnie head up the opposition.

Having shown improved form to win last time, YIENGAA is taken to follow up by beating last week's Doncaster winner Amazing Winnie.

15:45 Ascot Group 1 (Class 1) 6f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
4	4 (4) (7/1 -27%) Kinross	7 7/1(-27%)	(4) Kinross 7/1, Highly likeable sprinter who held his form terrifically well last season and signed off with an excellent effort going for a repeat win in the Champions Sprint Stakes here 8 months ago. Will need to be more fully prepared than he was for his return in this a year ago but good chance if he is. Group 1 C&D winner; key player if at best but that wasn't the case in the last 2 runnings.
1	3 1st (3) (14/1 +44%) Khaadem	14 14/1(+44%)	(3) Khaadem 14/1, Smart 8-y-o who produced a clear career-best when edging out Sacred in this at odds of 80/1 last year. Not disgraced in good company subsequently but needs to come on for a low-key return in the Duke of York Stakes. 80-1 win in this last year; not at the same level since but not dismissed now back here.
2	13 2nd (13) (16/1 +0%) Swingalong	16 16/1(+0%)	(13) Swingalong 16/1, Won Group 3 Summer Stakes at York in July. Acquitted herself with plenty of credit in Group 1s either side of that victory and probably needed the run at same track on return. Place claims. Third in C&D Commonwealth Cup 12 months ago; needs career best to reward each-way backers.
3	5 3rd (5) (9/2 +10%) Mill Stream	4.5 9/2(+10%)	(5) Mill Stream 9/2, Classy sprinter who has returned better than ever and responded well to narrowly get the better of Shouldvebeenaring in Duke of York last time. Might not have reached his limit and should take a hand in this. Won Group 2 Duke Of York last month and this thriving 4yo holds solid claims.
4	12 4th (12) (3/1 +63%) Believing	3 3/1(+63%)	(12) Believing 3/1, Smart filly who won 2 listed races and a Group 3 last year. Shrugged off a disappointing reappearance in Hong Kong when successful again at listed level at Haydock. Ran a cracker in King Charles III Stakes here earlier in the week and could feature again if the race doesn't come too soon. Fine fourth in 5f King Charles III Stakes here on Tuesday; 6f may well be her optimum trip.
5th	14 5th (14) (100/1 -52%) Vadream	100 100/1(-52%)	(14) Vadream 100/1, Smart mare who wasn't far off her best when just edged out by Seven Questions in Palace House at Newmarket in April but has run poorly twice since. Up against it. Down the field in the King Charles III here on Tuesday and would be a surprise winner.
6th	10 6th (10) (12/1 -9%) The Wizard Of Eye	12 12/1(-9%)	(10) The Wizard Of Eye 12/1, Smart gelding who didn't need to improve to win 21-runner Victoria Cup Handicap (7/1) at this course (7f, good to firm) 42 days ago. Could have more to offer for this yard but faces a stiff task and the drop back in trip is unlikely to play to his strengths. Did well to win Victoria Cup here; unexposed as a gelding and for this yard; interesting.
7th	6 7th (6) (9/1 -38%) Mitbaahy	9 9/1(-38%)	(6) Mitbaahy 9/1, Smart sort who is not long with his current yard and showed that he's on the up when finishing strongly to land the Greenlands Stakes at the Curragh last time. Another strong pace is on the cards and there's every chance he can get involved. Career best when winning Group 2 at the Curragh last time and entitled to respect.
8th	8 8th (8) (7/1 +0%) Shartash	7 7/1(+0%)	(8) Shartash 7/1, Ended 2023 below par for Johnny Murtagh but changed hands for €150,000 and much improved for new yard (gelded) when readily landing conditions event at Thirsk. Followed up in listed company at Haydock (7f) last time and fascinating contender back down in trip having been bought by new connections. 2-2 since joining this yard and could have even more to offer now back down to sprint trip.
9th	9 9th (9) (22/1 -57%) Shouldvebeenaring	22 22/1(-57%)	(9) Shouldvebeenaring 22/1, Likeable sort who acquitted himself well in some Group 1s last year and produced an excellent second in Duke of York at the Dante Meeting, just failing behind Mill Stream in a tight finish. Poorly drawn in Greenlands Stakes at the Curragh last time and is likely to bounce back. Inconsistent and below par last time but has gone close in some top sprints; not ruled out.
10th	11 10th (11) (12/1 +14%) Washington Heights	12 12/1(+14%)	(11) Washington Heights 12/1, Strong-travelling sort who was well-served by front-running ride when taking the Abernant Stakes on return from Mill Stream and acquitted himself with plenty of credit behind his old rival in the Duke of York. Looks a player. Group 3 Abernant win before very close fourth in Group 2 Duke Of York; each-way contender.
11th	7 11th (7) (25/1 +24%) Quinault	25 25/1(+24%)	(7) Quinault 25/1, Enjoyed a fine 2023 when a seven-time 6f/7f winner. Creditable efforts both starts this term, mid-field in the John of Gaunt Stakes at Haydock last time, but looks to be flying too high here. Pacy 6th in 7f Group 3 latest; form has to go to new level but may make bold bid now at 6f.
12th	1 12th (1) (10/1 +38%) Art Power	10 10/1(+38%)	(1) Art Power 10/1, Very talented on his day, winning twice at the Curragh last season and signing off with success in the Group 1 on Champions' Day here in October. Solid close fourth to Mitbaahy at first-named track last time and deserves respect. Won C&D Group 1 on soft last October; the forecast fast ground may not be ideal.
13th	2 13th (2) (100/1 -25%) Jumby	100 100/1(-25%)	(2) Jumby 100/1, Winless since landing the John of Gaunt at Haydock last year and ran poorly in his defence of that title there last time, so needs blinkers to perk him up. Group 2 and Group 3 winner over 7f but hasn't shone this season; hard to fancy.

Following a last-gasp victory in the Group 2 Greenlands Stakes over 6f at the Curragh last time, MITBAAHY is fancied most to follow up that success and give last year's winning connections of this renewal a second success in as many years. Charlie Hills' five-year-old got up late to see off Regional on that occasion, who has since confirmed the form by running well into second in the King Charles III earlier this week. The progressive Mill Stream got up in the shadows of the post having been well-fancied in the Duke Of York last month and another bold bid appears likely. Kinross, who finished a disappointing seventh in this race last year, returns to the track after 245 days off and would be of major interest if any significant rainfall hit the track on the day, while the hat-trick seeking Shartash is also shortlisted.

Archie Watson has done a fantastic job since SHARTASH came into his care and, while the 4-y-o is back in much stronger company, the visual impression of both his wins this term suggest he's open to more improvement for new owners, so he's preferred to Duke of York winner Mill Stream. Kinross is always a player at the top level but others have a fitness edge on him.

The filly BELIEVING ran a cracker when fourth in the King Charles III Stakes here on Tuesday and 6f may well suit her even better.

Likeable type who has already had a terrific campaign and can't be ruled out under a penalty. Progressive filly has won four of her five starts this term, 10lb claimed to ease burden.
1	9 1st (9) (6/1 -20%) Going Remote	6 6/1(-20%)	(9) Going Remote 6/1, Good second of 7 in handicap at Navan (10.2f, good, 17/2) 14 days ago. Arrives in excellent form and should get the longer trip, so looks a major player. On visual impressions should get this trip, a pedigree assessment makes that less certain.
2	6 2nd (6) (6/1 -9%) Barnso	6 6/1(-9%)	(6) Barnso 6/1, Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (13/2) at Fairyhouse (10f, good to soft) 23 days ago by ½ length from Going Remote. Longer trip is no issue and he should do better still. Improved from seasonal debut when mastering Going Remote in 1m2f Naas event.
3	4 3rd (4) (9/2 +0%) Tamrat	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(4) Tamrat 9/2, Lightly-raced winner. 10/1, good third of 8 in handicap at Leopardstown (12f, good to firm) 41 days ago. Shouldn't be ruled out. Fair run last time over 1m1f at Leopardstown, needs to find a bit extra in this company.
4	7 4th (7) (9/1 -38%) Gibbs Island	9 9/1(-38%)	(7) Gibbs Island 9/1, Good third of 7 in handicap at Navan (10.2f, good, 13/2) 14 days ago. Up in trip. Should give another good account. Closely matched with Going Remote on Navan evidence, trainer also runs Ozark Daze.
5th	8 5th (8) (22/1 -83%) Harbour Gem	22 22/1(-83%)	(8) Harbour Gem 22/1, Winner at Cork in May. 6/1, last of 7 in handicap at Navan (10.2f, good) 14 days ago. Up in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Others have achieved more. In rear on handicap debut in Navan race in which three of these fought out the finish.
6th	5 6th (5) (13/2 +19%) Ozark Daze	6.5 13/2(+19%)	(5) Ozark Daze 13/2, Lightly-raced maiden. 2/1, respectable second of 10 in maiden at the Curragh (10f, good) 28 days ago, no match for winner. Up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Has to give weight to winning stablemate Gibbs Island but does not seem badly treated.
7th	3 7th (3) (9/4 +44%) Psalm	2.25 9/4(+44%)	(3) Psalm 9/4, Lightly-raced maiden. 11/8, very good second of 10 in maiden at Cork (10.2f, good) 43 days ago. In cheekpieces for handicap debut and can improve again if he gets the longer trip. Cork second was shown in a good light when winner Kinesiology went close in a Listed race.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

Glor Tire won in good style over the extended 1m1f at Gowran Park last time and she looks primed to offer another bold bid, but a 7lb penalty will make life tougher. Therefore, preference is for PSALM, who is one of two saddled by Aidan O'Brien in this and he can shed his maiden tag on his handicap debut. This son of Sea The Stars is likely to appreciate this extra yardage and he was unlucky to be collared late over 1m2f at Cork last month. Gibbs Island is also of interest.

OCEAN OF DREAMS looked an excellent prospect when scoring on debut last year and, while he's yet to fully build on it, he took a positive step last time and is worth a chance to prove himself better than a mark of 90 with cheekpieces on for his handicap debut. Going Remote and Gibbs Island are dangers and Glor Tire can't be dismissed given how much she's already improved this season.

Aidan O'Brien mounts a two-pronged challenge. OCEAN OF DREAMS is put forward as a colt who can improve over this trip

1	1 (1) (11/1 +56%) Wallop	11 11/1(+56%)	(1) Wallop 11/1, Shaped well all 3 starts at 2 yrs and landed the odds in a 6f Kempton novice on sole start last season. However, hasn't made much of an impact switched to handicaps on the Rowley Mile since returning from a 12-month absence and now finds himself with a bit to prove. Lightly raced; comfortably held in two handicaps on the Rowley Mile since returning; risky.
1	12 1st (12) (4/1 +43%) Trefor	4 4/1(+43%)	(12) Trefor 4/1, Winner of Windsor novice last summer and, having made the frame in a couple of strong handicaps on the Rowley Mile during the spring, he made it 2-2 at Windsor 19 days ago. 3 lb rise fair enough and he has to enter calculations. Both wins have been gained on good to firm ground at Windsor; one for the shortlist.
2	3 2nd (3) (22/1 -38%) Rhythm N Hooves	22 22/1(-38%)	(3) Rhythm N Hooves 22/1, Royal Ascot winner last term and back in the groove sporting first-time blinkers in a 9-runner event at Doncaster (6f, good) at the end of May. Probably best to draw a line though his subsequent Goodwood display but others make more appeal in any case. Successful in first-time blinkers at Doncaster last month, but didn't back it up next time.
3	9 3rd (9) (80/1 -220%) Bulldog Drummond	80 80/1(-220%)	(9) Bulldog Drummond 80/1, Raised his game when scoring twice on the AW during the winter but safely held off this mark on latest start in January (final start for George Boughey). Since undergone a wind op and opposable on debut for new yard. Makes stable debut back on turf after five months off having undergone wind surgery.
4	6 4th (6) (13/2 -44%) Eminency	6.5 13/2(-44%)	(6) Eminency 13/2, Progressive without winning last season for Clive Cox and has improved with each of his 3 starts this time round, failing by a whisker when finishing strongly at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) recently. Looks ready to strike on that evidence and he's high on the shortlist. Beaten a nose at Goodwood 13 days ago; not dismissed if taking another step forward.
5th	8 5th (8) (5/2 +29%) Completely Random	2.5 5/2(+29%)	(8) Completely Random 5/2, Landed the odds in 6f Wolverhampton novice during the Christmas period and showed improved form on just his second turf start when runner-up on the Rowley Mile (6f, good to firm) last month, pulling well clear with a thriving sort. Big player. Engaged 6.15 Ascot Friday. Only had five starts; beaten a neck on the Rowley Mile last month; open to improvement.
6th	7 6th (7) (33/1 -230%) Abate	33 33/1(-230%)	(7) Abate 33/1, Enjoyed a most productive 2023 campaign and hasn't done much wrong in 4 starts since returning to action in April, most recently finding just one too good at Ripon (6f, good to firm). Likely to give another good account but may again prove vulnerable for win purposes. Won this race two years ago; runner-up in latest start and should run a big race.
7th	10 7th (10) (80/1 -400%) How Impressive	80 80/1(-400%)	(10) How Impressive 80/1, Successful 3 times on AW since the turn of the year and while he was beaten a long way returned to turf at York in May, his subsequent efforts at Doncaster and Hamilton have been more like it. Place possibilities. 1lb below last winning mark, but there's a suspicion another furlong suits him ideally.
8th	11 8th (11) (14/1 -87%) Goal Exceeded	14 14/1(-87%)	(11) Goal Exceeded 14/1, Signed off 2-y-o campaign on a winning note at Naas and has made the frame on 2 of his 3 starts in handicaps this time round, third in a quite valuable contest at the Curragh (5f, good to firm) last time. This Irish raider is not without each-way hope back at 6f. Third in a premier handicap at the Curragh last time; unexposed but fast ground an unknown.
9th	4 9th (4) (25/1 -317%) Many A Star	25 25/1(-317%)	(4) Many A Star 25/1, In good form for this yard back in Britain, winning twice on AW in April. Has hit the crossbar on 3 of his 4 subsequent starts, including at Windsor (6f, good to firm) on Monday, and he should have a part to play off the same mark. Won twice on AW in April and second in three of his four starts on turf since; in the mix.
10th	2 10th (2) (100/1 -1438%) Al Simmo	100 100/1(-1438%)	(2) Al Simmo 100/1, Back-to-back C&D winner during a largely productive 2022 campaign and performed well all 3 appearances in handicap company last year. Can go well fresh (went close on reappearance at York 12 months ago) and conditions in her favour, so there is cause for optimism. Record over C&D reads 211 and is proven fresh; drying ground is in her favour.
11th	5 11th (5) (14/1 -17%) Tiger Crusade	14 14/1(-17%)	(5) Tiger Crusade 14/1, Consistent sort who got on top close home when taking a C&D handicap off a 2 lb higher mark last summer. Wasn't disgraced back on turf behind Rhythm N Hooves at Doncaster but will need to better that if he's to regain the winning thread. 2lb below last winning mark, but needs everything to fall right and fast ground not ideal.
12th	13 12th (13) (33/1 -32%) Dashing Dick	33 33/1(-32%)	(13) Dashing Dick 33/1, Snapped a long losing run when gamely scoring from the front over C&D last August. Ended 2023 with a decent effort in defeat on the AW but he's probably worth taking on following a 7-month absence. Won over C&D off this mark last August, but may need the run after 228 days off.

TREFOR arrives on the back of a victory at Windsor. He's only been raised 3lb and an earlier second on the Rowley Mile here in April behind the progressive Woodhay Wonder suggests another bold bid is on the cards. Many A Star still looks a shade high in the ratings judged on recent placed efforts, but Eminency might be fairly treated at present and went agonisingly close at Goodwood last time. Ripon runner-up Abate is not out of it, while the Irish colt Goal Exceeded is worth a second glance back over his winning trip.

The pick of these could be EMINENCY, who finished with a flourish when just failing at Goodwood and this stiffer track will be in his favour. Completely Random went down narrowly to a most progressive type on the other course here last time and he is a much-respected main danger, while Trefor is another 3-y-o with a chance. Many A Star completes the shortlist.

This tricky handicap can go to ABATE, who won this race two years ago and put up an improved effort at Ripon last time.

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (85/40 -7%) Harbour Wind	2.125 85/40(-7%)	(1) Harbour Wind 85/40, Smart gelding. Very good ¾-length second of 9 to Double Major in Prix Chaudenay at Longchamp (14.9f, good to firm, 19/10), staying on well. Off 8 months. Stable in good form. Player. Dual Listed winner last year; stays further; carries a penalty and lacks a recent run.
2	4 2nd (4) (12/1 +14%) Dancing Tango	12 12/1(+14%)	(4) Dancing Tango 12/1, Useful mare. 3/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, below form 7 lengths fourth of 9 to Enfranchise in listed race at Gowran (14f, heavy) 45 days ago. Can still make her presence felt. Below her best at Gowran on return but can improve; seems better on easier ground.
3	3 3rd (3) (7/1 -40%) Serious Challenge	7 7/1(-40%)	(3) Serious Challenge 7/1, Smart gelding. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Good third of 11 in handicap at the Curragh (14f, good to firm, 15/2) 17 days ago. Yard in good form. Another bold show likely. Has run well in quality races up to 2m in varying ground conditions; should run well.
4	7 4th (7) (22/1 -57%) Perfect Portrait	22 22/1(-57%)	(7) Perfect Portrait 22/1, Useful filly. 20¼ lengths eighth of 9 to Enfranchise in listed race at Gowran (14f, heavy, 7/2) 45 days ago. Others more persuasive. Has been placed in this company; lost a shoe when poor on return; probably better on soft.
5th	8 5th (8) (9/4 +36%) London City	2.25 9/4(+36%)	(8) London City 9/4, Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 8-runner handicap (11/2) at York (11.8f, good) 37 days ago, suited by emphasis on stamina. Stable having good spell. Has more to offer so big shout. Won both starts this term; rated 102 and likely has more to give, so has to be respected.
6th	6 6th (6) (12/1 -100%) Esquiline	12 12/1(-100%)	(6) Esquiline 12/1, Useful filly. Very good neck second of 8 to Countess of Tyrone in listed race (12/1) at Down Royal (16f, good) 22 days ago, suited by emphasis on speed. Needs considering. Second in a Down Royal Listed upped to 2m last time; needs to reproduce that down in trip.
7th	5 7th (5) (40/1 -186%) Vischio	40 40/1(-186%)	(5) Vischio 40/1, Useful mare. 33/1, 18¼ lengths last of 9 to Candleford in listed race at the Curragh (12f, good) 28 days ago. Something to find on form. Listed winner but hasn't matched best form this season and is better on softer ground.
8th	2 8th (2) (16/1 -167%) Sunchart	16 16/1(-167%)	(2) Sunchart 16/1, Useful gelding. 1 win from 2 runs this year. Latest win at Naas in March. 5¾ lengths last of 6 to Kyprios in Saval Beg Levmoss Stakes at Leopardstown (14f, good, 33/1) 36 days ago. Won a Naas Listed over 1m2f in testing ground but below that form since; best on soft.

HARBOUR WIND was a smart stayer last year and this race is likely to have been mapped as a starting point ahead of another autumn campaign. Out of a smart half-sister to Ascot Gold Cup-placed Forgotten Rules, his high-class Longchamp runner-up effort in September has received many boosts with, most notably, the winner scoring a wide-margin success in the subsequent Group 1 Prix Royal-Oak. Race-fit Sunchart is capable and won a Listed race in March but might struggle to beat the selection racing from level-weights. Three-year-old London City is clearly progressive and has just 4lb to find with the selection on adjusted ratings, but nonetheless faces a much stiffer task than when winning a recent Chester handicap.

LONDON CITY's form is on an upward curve so Aidan O'Brien's Justify colt can take this step up in class in his stride and complete his hat-trick. The returning Harbour Wind has the form to play a big part and is next best ahead of in-form pair Serious Challenge and Esquiline.

An improving type, LONDON CITY can get the better of his older rivals, several of whom are penalised for previous wins at this level.

Should improve, so he's high on the shortlist. Made a nice debut (7f) behind two well-bred horses and the winner could be useful.
2	4 2nd (4) (13/8 +64%) Uncle Don	1.625 13/8(+64%)	(4) Uncle Don 13/8, Foaled April 15. £52,000 yearling, Oasis Dream colt. Closely related to winner up to 7f Three Coins and half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 2-y-o 5f winner Malc and 1m-9.5f winner Plastic Paddy. Dam, maiden (stayed 7f), sister to smart 2-y-o 5f-1m winner Hearts of Fire. Ticks plenty boxes. £52,000 yearling related to winners; in a top yard so market should be informative.
3	3 3rd (3) (5/2 -108%) Eve's Boy	2.5 5/2(-108%)	(3) Eve's Boy 5/2, Showed promise as he left the other 2 trailing when second of 4 in minor event (15/2) at Carlisle (5.8f, good to soft) on debut just over 3 weeks ago, running on. Open to improvement, there's every chance he can go one better. 15-2 for a four-runner race at Carlisle and pushed the odds-on favourite pretty close.
4	2 4th (2) (50/1 -52%) Captain Pickles	50 50/1(-52%)	(2) Captain Pickles 50/1, Foaled January 29. €72,000 yearling, Dark Angel gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to US Grade 1 9f winner Magnificent Song. Likely outsider on debut. Has been gelded but he cost 72,000euros and has a useful pedigree.
5th	5 5th (5) (8/1 -14%) Copacabana Sands	8 8/1(-14%)	(5) Copacabana Sands 8/1, Foaled March 6. €7,000 yearling, Sands of Mali filly. Half-sister to 8.5f/9f winner Grey Spirit and 1m/9f winner Bumblebee. Dam once-raced half-sister to winner up to 1¼m Red Bloom and 1¼m-13.4f winner Red Gala (both smart). Irish raider that warrants respect. Half-sister to 8.5f/1m1f Flat (RPR 88) and useful 2m hurdle winner Grey Spirit.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content,

After a promising racecourse debut, EVE'S BOY makes the most compelling case. Michael Dods' charge showed his inexperience when second over 6f at Carlisle, having been slowly away from the stalls, and he can go one better with that experience under his belt. Big Cyril is another with a taste of racecourse action and may be the biggest danger to the selection following his third over 7f at Yarmouth. The drop to 6f is a positive, while newcomer Uncle Don, a half-brother to Group 2-placed juvenile Malc, is also noted.

EVE'S BOY found only an odds-on poke too strong on debut at Carlisle on debut last month and with improvement on the cards, this looks a good opportunity to go a place better for the in-form Michael Dods yard. Big Cyril showed plenty of ability when third first time up and he looks the obvious one for the forecast, with Uncle Don making most paper appeal of the newcomers.

Who knows what lurks amongst the newcomers but EVE'S BOY pushed a good horse close at Carlisle and he's preferred to Big Cyril.

Has good chance on form. Only eighth at Doncaster three weeks ago; remains handily weighted so not written off.
2	6 2nd (6) (6/1 +14%) Zarzyni	6 6/1(+14%)	(6) Zarzyni 6/1, Course winner who reared leaving stalls when seventh of 15 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Course winner; in good nick, rearing start when Hamilton seventh last time; not dismissed.
3	5 3rd (5) (16/1 -14%) Ready Freddie Go	16 16/1(-14%)	(5) Ready Freddie Go 16/1, Turned in his most encouraging effort of the season when 5 lengths sixth of 10 to Tatterstall in handicap (12/1) at Catterick (5f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Back to a potentially lenient mark. Step back in right direction with Catterick sixth latest; can make his presence felt.

5th	3 5th (3) (5/1 +50%) Good Earth	5 5/1(+50%)	(3) Good Earth 5/1, Creditable sixth of 10 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm, 16/1) 12 days ago, despite not getting a clear run. Dropped to a handy mark and could be the answer. Hinted at revival when sixth at Windsor 12 days ago; merits consideration off 2lb lower.
6th	8 6th (8) (14/1 -75%) Spirit Of Applause	14 14/1(-75%)	(8) Spirit Of Applause 14/1, Possibly still needed run when sixth of 11 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good to firm, 6/1) 35 days ago.

Having showed a good attitude when making all over 5f at Catterick earlier this month, Tatterstall is likely to be well found in the market, but a 7lb rise for that display looks harsh. Preference is for RUSSET GOLD, who was last seen finishing a close-up third over 6f at Ascot last month and, with the step back to 5f looking like it will be no hinderance, Roger Varian's charge can return to winning ways off 2lb higher. Zarzyni shaped like he was still in form when finishing mid-division in a warm Hamilton handicap recently and he can prove best of the rest.

A chance is taken on GOOD EARTH, who's slipped to a good mark and took another step back in the right direction at Windsor 12 days ago, despite not being seen to best effect. Russet Gold made a promising return to action when third at Ascot just over 6 weeks ago, while Spirit of Applause and Tatterstall are others in the mix in an interesting sprint handicap.

Roger Varian's RUSSET GOLD (nap) appeals as the sort to do well in 2024 and can build on his Ascot third to bag a second C&D win.

Fifth in Irish 2,000 Guineas; has plenty of ground to make up with Haatem and River Tiber.
1	1 1st (1) (9/2 -35%) Haatem	4.5 9/2(-35%)	(1) Haatem 9/2, Smart effort to win Craven on reappearance. Even better form when third in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket and short-head second to stablemate Rosallion in the Irish 2000 Guineas. River Tiber was 1¼ lengths behind in third at the Curragh but is 3 lb better off with him this time. Bold show likely. Third in 2,000 Guineas and second in Irish equivalent; form has been boosted; solid claims.
2	8 2nd (8) (22/1 -10%) Kikkuli	22 22/1(-10%)	(8) Kikkuli 22/1, Bred in the purple and has made a highly-promising start to his career, following a 7f Newmarket maiden win with a good 3¾ lengths second of 6 to Almaqam in Heron at Sandown (1m, soft). The way he travelled at Sandown suggests the drop back to 7f could be a good move. Capable of better again. Half-brother to Frankel; second in Listed race latest; this is harder but he's unexposed.
3	3 3rd (3) (66/1 +18%) Chicago Critic	66 66/1(+18%)	(3) Chicago Critic 66/1, Useful effort to win a 1m Naas handicap last month but he takes a big jump in class here. Gelded before Naas handicap win; this is a much tougher assignment.
4	10 4th (10) (50/1 -67%) Mountain Bear	50 50/1(-67%)	(10) Mountain Bear 50/1, Smart at 2, including an AW listed win and good 1½ lengths second of 11 to stablemate Unquestionable in Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf at Santa Anita (1m, firm). Well behind Haatem and River Tiber in Irish 2000 Guineas on reappearance but he might have needed that first outing for 7 months. Well behind Haatem and River Tiber in Irish 2,000 and needs a big step forward from that.
5th	18 5th (18) (80/1 -100%) Zoum Zoum	80 80/1(-100%)	(18) Zoum Zoum 80/1, Won all 3 starts as a juvenile, notably a French listed. Showed he's trained on well when second in the Greenham on reappearance but he needs to shrug off a disappointing effort at Epsom since. Reappearance Greenham second has not worked out; well beaten last time; others preferred.
6th	12 6th (12) (10/1 +29%) Never So Brave	10 10/1(+29%)	(12) Never So Brave 10/1, Runner-up to subsequent Group 1 winners Ancient Wisdom and Vandeek on both starts at 2 and easy winner of a Thirsk novice (7f, heavy) and Chester handicap (7.5f, good) this spring. Looks good enough to make his presence felt at pattern level. Clearcut maiden and handicap winner; up in class but another personal best is on the cards.
7th	17 7th (17) (17/2 +29%) Task Force	8.5 17/2(+29%)	(17) Task Force 17/2, Won maiden/listed before 2¼ lengths second to Vandeek in Middle Park (6f) on final 2-y-o start. Creditable 6¾ lengths seventh to Notable Speech in 2000 Guineas at Newmarket (1m, good) on reappearance. Haatem holds him on that form but the Ralph Beckett yard is in better form now than it was then. Middle Park second and 2,000 Guineas seventh; bit more needed but 7f could be ideal.
8th	14 8th (14) (6/4 +14%) River Tiber	1.5 6/4(+14%)	(14) River Tiber 6/4, Smart at 2, including a win in the Coventry at this meeting. Showed he's trained on well when 1¼ lengths third of 8 to Rosallion in Irish 2000 Guineas at the Curragh (1m, good) on reappearance. Haatem was ahead in second on that occasion but he's 3lb better off with Richard Hannon's charge now. 2023 Coventry winner; promising third in Irish 2,000 Guineas; now looks the one to beat.
9th	2 9th (2) (16/1 +20%) Boiling Point	16 16/1(+20%)	(2) Boiling Point 16/1, Very useful colt who bagged a 7f listed race at Newmarket last month. Will need to step up a fair bit on that form if he's to follow up here. Reliable type; game winner at Newmarket in May; will need a personal best to follow up.
10th	19 10th (19) (22/1 +67%) Pearls And Rubies	22 22/1(+67%)	(19) Pearls And Rubies 22/1, Useful filly, finishing an excellent 1½ lengths second of 11 to Porta Fortuna in Cheveley Park at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) on final 2-y-o start. Too free when last of 13 in Irish 1000 Guineas on reappearance. Hard to know what to expect after that. Runner-up in Chesham here last year; well beaten on reappearance; something to find.
11th	7 11th (7) (150/1 -200%) Indian Run	150 150/1(-200%)	(7) Indian Run 150/1, Won the Group 3 Acomb at York last August but all of a sudden has a bit to prove having failed to beat a rival in 2 outings since, latterly a 7f Haydock listed race on reappearance 6 weeks ago. Has had wind surgery since then. Hasn't beaten a rival since last summer's Acomb win; has had wind op since reappearance.
12th	20 12th (20) (125/1 -25%) Ziggy's Dream	125 125/1(-25%)	(20) Ziggy's Dream 125/1, Useful effort to win a heavy-ground listed race in Milan last month but a much bigger performance will be needed to even reach the frame here. Won Italian Listed race last month but faces a much higher calibre of opposition here.
13th	15 13th (15) (150/1 -88%) Son	150 150/1(-88%)	(15) Son 150/1, Useful colt. Creditable fourth in 7f Greenham on Newbury reappearance and ruined his chance by hanging left on the turn at Sandown since. Haatem looks very much the stable first string. 1-8; looked tricky ride when last of six on latest start; would be a surprise winner.
14th	5 14th (5) (12/1 +25%) Eben Shaddad	12 12/1(+25%)	(5) Eben Shaddad 12/1, Placed for the third time in Group company at Newmarket when 3½ lengths second to Haatem in the 1m Craven on reappearance. Beaten only 1¾ lengths when seventh of 13 to Metropolitan in French 2000 Guineas at Longchamp since. Each-way shout. Second to Haatem in the Craven and ran well in French Guineas; more required to win here.
15th	11 15th (11) (22/1 -10%) Native American	22 22/1(-10%)	(11) Native American 22/1, Won a valuable sales race at 2. Left his reappearance at Newmarket well behind when short-head second to Evade in 7f Epsom listed race 3 weeks ago. More will be needed here. Jolt of improvement when short-headed last time; more needed but that's certainly possible.
16th	9 16th (9) (125/1 +0%) Kortez Bay	125 125/1(+0%)	(9) Kortez Bay 125/1, Fairly useful colt who gained an overdue first success in 7f Fairyhouse maiden 15 days ago. Major surprise were he to follow up here, though. Won maiden (at ninth attempt) two weeks ago but hard to see him following up in this grade.
17th	4 17th (4) (125/1 +0%) Dark Tornado	125 125/1(+0%)	(4) Dark Tornado 125/1, Fairly useful form when placed in novices over C&D (for Peter Chapple-Hyam) and at York (1m) 8 months apart. Has the potential for better again but a big jolt of improvement required to get heavily involved here. Drop from 1m to 7f may suit, but he's still a maiden and faces a major rise in grade.
18th	6 18th (6) (150/1 -127%) El Bodon	150 150/1(-127%)	(6) El Bodon 150/1, AW novice winner last summer and returned to finish a much-improved second in the Greenham at Newbury (7f, good) in April. Might have found the run coming too soon when well held in 6f Group 3 here since. Excelled himself when runner-up in Greenham; disappointing here next time; plenty to find.
19th	13 19th (13) (33/1 -106%) Night Raider	33 33/1(-106%)	(13) Night Raider 33/1, Impressive winner of 7f novices at Southwell on first 2 starts. Pulled hard when well beaten in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket but he's highly regarded by his leading stable and retains potential now back at 7f. Easy AW winner first two starts; well beaten in 2,000 Guineas but may still be unexposed.

The Irish 2000 Guineas form could be the key to this race, with preference for the Aidan O'Brien-trained RIVER TIBER. The son of Wootton Bassett finished just over a length behind Haatem (second), but that was his first run of the campaign and, like many of his stablemates this week, he ought to take a big step forward from that effort. This could possibly be his ideal trip after running well at the top level over sprint distances as a juvenile. As for the latter, he makes his fourth start of the year having improved plenty from his juvenile campaign and he commands the utmost respect, despite dropping back in trip and giving away a 3lb penalty for his Craven success. Of the remainder, the progressive Never So Brave makes the most appeal after his impressive victory in a handicap at Chester last month.

On 3 lb better terms RIVER TIBER is taken to turn around Irish 2000 Guineas form with Haatem, particularly as it's possible Aidan O'Brien's colt will come on for that reappearance. Task Force, Never So Brave and Kikkuli can fight it out for minor money in a strong renewal of this Group 3.

Old rivals RIVER TIBER and Haatem meet for the third time and, receiving 3lb, Aidan O'Brien's high-class colt can come out on top.

Eighth of 14 in maiden (200/1) at Gowran (9.4f, good to soft) 19 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Makes handicap debut. RESERVE.

3	4 3rd (4) (7/2 -5%) Numidia	3.5 7/2(-5%)	(4) Numidia 7/2, 7/1, career best when winning 16-runner handicap at Fairyhouse (12f, good) 15 days ago, kept up to work to score easily. Seen to good effect there but still merits plenty of respect after a 9-lb rise. Won in fine style at Fairyhouse under a positive ride, 9lb rise does not seem unreasonable.
4	5 4th (5) (3/1 -33%) Charlie Luciano	3 3/1(-33%)	(5) Charlie Luciano 3/1, 7/2, won 13-runner handicap at Fairyhouse (12f, good) 15 days ago, getting first run. Remains fairly treated on his best form, so should go well under another positive ride. 129-rated four-time hurdles winner, recently gained first Flat win on the tenth attempt.
5th	3 5th (3) (15/2 +6%) Evening's Empire	7.5 15/2(+6%)	(3) Evening's Empire 15/2, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 8/1, creditable third of 14 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (16f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Back up in trip. Potentially well treated returning to this sphere. Third in a handicap hurdle last time, in the frame in two Flat handicaps here last season.
6th	10 6th (10) (40/1 +20%) Albion Princess	40 40/1(+20%)	(10) Albion Princess 40/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f, 14/1) 71 days ago. Others make more appeal. Turf/AW winner for the Charltons, regressive at Dundalk; plenty to prove at this stage.
7th	8 7th (8) (16/1 -33%) No Trouble	16 16/1(-33%)	(8) No Trouble 16/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. 28/1, creditable seventh of 22 in handicap at Navan (10.2f, good) 14 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Up in trip. Others are more persuasive. Much better record on AW (5-35) than on turf (1-23) though this going should suit him.
8th	12 8th (12) (12/1 +0%) Sand Castle	12 12/1(+0%)	(12) Sand Castle 12/1, One win from 21 Flat runs. Creditable 7¼ lengths sixth of 14 to El C Wells in handicap at Navan (13f, good, 9/1) 35 days ago. Stable in good form. Blinkers back on. Not dismissed. Not bad efforts last month at Sligo and Navan but needs to find a bit extra.
9th	1 9th (1) (12/1 -118%) El C Wells	12 12/1(-118%)	(1) El C Wells 12/1, First run since leaving Garry Bernard Caldwell when 28/1, won 14-runner handicap at Navan (13f, good) 35 days ago, slowly away. Looks of interest again. Change of stable did the trick when she won a 1m5f handicap at Navan five weeks ago.
10th	15 10th (15) (33/1 +34%) Mythical Times	33 33/1(+34%)	(15) Mythical Times 33/1, Twelfth of 14 in handicap at Navan (13f, good, 28/1) 35 days ago. RESERVE. First reserve, over two years since a Navan second that seemed encouraging, now 0-23.
11th	14 11th (14) (100/1 -100%) Curzon Queen	100 100/1(-100%)	(14) Curzon Queen 100/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, pulled up in handicap hurdle (100/1) at Downpatrick (17.8f, good) 6 days ago. Modest on the Flat, poor on last Flat outing. Went close at Dundalk last October, has been running over hurdles lately, does not appeal.
12th	9 12th (9) (80/1 -60%) Bedelia	80 80/1(-60%)	(9) Bedelia 80/1, Blinkers on for 1st time in this code, twelfth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (16f, good, 80/1) 20 days ago. Modest on the Flat, poor on last Flat run. Disappointing on Flat and over hurdles for this stable since claiming race win a year ago.
13th	6 13th (6) (17/2 -42%) Gordons Aura	8.5 17/2(-42%)	(6) Gordons Aura 17/2, Bit below form fourth of 12 in claiming hurdle (15/2) at Sligo (18.4f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Booking of Lee a plus. Cheekpieces back on. Unexposed on the Flat for this yard. Fairyhouse maiden hurdle winner early last year, a long time since he ran on the Flat.

Charlie Luciano came out best in a three-way photo at Fairyhouse, but the margin of victory was such that a 4lb rise could find him out. El C Wells also prevailed only narrowly on her debut for Paul Mulligan at Navan, whereas NUMIDIA had six lengths to spare over the runner-up when triumphant at Fairyhouse. He clearly relished the half-mile rise to 1m4f that day, and this slightly extra yardage shouldn't inconvenience him at all in his follow-up mission.

CHARLIE LUCIANO showed a good attitude to prevail at Fairyhouse last time and, having gone up 4 lb, he's worth a chance to follow up from the front again. Fellow last-time-out winners Numidia and El C Wells are obvious dangers and Gordons Aura is one to consider back on the level.

Three last-time-out winners clash. NUMIDIA bolted up at Fairyhouse and may cope with a 12lb rise

1	6 1st (6) (11/2 +21%) Treasure Time	5.5 11/2(+21%)	(6) Treasure Time 11/2, Unexposed and improved despite not been seen to anything like best effect at Chester 8 days ago. More progress on the cards and makes plenty of appeal. 0-4; met trouble when fifth on handicap debut at Chester eight days ago; can fare better.
2	2 2nd (2) (7/2 +30%) Jungle Mac	3.5 7/2(+30%)	(2) Jungle Mac 7/2, Won at Chelmsford City in February and has been holding his form well since, a good third at Doncaster 22 days ago. Should be on the premises again. Is a consistent sort who again ran well last time, but may be vulnerable to an improver.
3	9 3rd (9) (10/1 -100%) Wonder Smile	10 10/1(-100%)	(9) Wonder Smile 10/1, Marked step forward when runner-up at Salisbury a month ago and the way he moved through the race suggests he can up his game further, so one to consider. Best effort when chasing home a subsequent winner at Salisbury last time; go well again.
4	5 4th (5) (80/1 -900%) Miss Information	80 80/1(-900%)	(5) Miss Information 80/1, Opened her account at Ascot last September. After 8 months off, ran well when third of 7 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good, 11/1) on return. Latest effort best excused, so she's not one to rule out. Modest on AW last time, but placed in both turf handicaps; each-way shout again.
5th	3 5th (3) (100/1 -1900%) North View	100 100/1(-1900%)	(3) North View 100/1, Has few miles on the clock and shaped as if ahead of his mark when a smooth-travelling second at Kempton last time, so of obvious interest. Back to form when second at Kempton last time; drying ground in his favour.
6th	10 6th (10) (40/1 -515%) Mister Mojito	40 40/1(-515%)	(10) Mister Mojito 40/1, Lightly raced and took his form to a new level when scoring at Yarmouth a couple of months ago. Not seen since but further improvement can't be ruled out. Off ten weeks since winning at Yarmouth; can go well fresh but is now 8lb higher.
7th	1 7th (1) (100/1 -1329%) Rascal Recknell	100 100/1(-1329%)	(1) Rascal Recknell 100/1, Boasts a progressive profile and shaped better than the result (nearest finish) when fourth at Kempton last time. Can get involved if the race is run to suit. Lingfield AW winner who may be better for his Kempton return this month; unexposed on turf.
8th	4 8th (4) (100/1 -525%) Roman Emperor	100 100/1(-525%)	(4) Roman Emperor 100/1, Winner at Southwell (6f) in January and filled runners-up spot next 2 starts in handicaps at Lingfield. Has been holding form well without looking particularly well treated lately. Consistent in his first five starts, but not quite at the same level of late.
9th	8 9th (8) (40/1 -515%) Sonmarg	40 40/1(-515%)	(8) Sonmarg 40/1, 10/1, good second of 10 in handicap at Goodwood (7f, good) 15 days ago, running on. On a fair mark if he can build on that. Beaten half a length at Goodwood last time; back up 2lb but one of the likelier winners.
10th	7 10th (7) (66/1 -371%) Hiya Honey	66 66/1(-371%)	(7) Hiya Honey 66/1, Left debut form behind when second of 5 in minor event at Newbury last autumn but that is very much a standout effort and his mark doesn't look all that lenient. A distant second of four last time but the form has been boosted; worth a second look.

NORTH VIEW showed improvement in first-time cheekpieces when filling the runner-up spot at Kempton and he is just 1lb higher for that effort. The son of Expert Eye makes only his seventh career start and he could be the one to beat. Wonder Smile took a big leap forward after being gelded when second at Salisbury and he would be foolish to overlook off a 2lb higher mark. Treasure Time is another to keep a close eye on.

WONDER SMILE looked ahead of his mark when second at Salisbury last time and he can prove the point here. It's a strong race for the grade, with several having potential, and both Treasure Time and North View are likely to feature.

The vote goes to NORTH VIEW who seems to be steadily returning to form and will be suited by drying ground.

2	6 2nd (6) (5/2 +64%) Mont St Michel	2.5 5/2(+64%)	(6) Mont St Michel 5/2, Once-raced colt. Tenth of 16 in maiden (11/1) at the Curragh (9f, soft) on debut. Off 8 months. Significantly up in trip. Trainer going well. Blinkered/tongue strap on for 1st time so could still do better. Will have to improve for this better ground but blinkers and tongue-tie can help.
3	5 3rd (5) (10/3 +45%) Fighter	3.333333 10/3(+45%)	(5) Fighter 10/3, Twice-raced colt. Twelfth of 16 in maiden (8/1) at the Curragh (9f, soft). Off 8 months. Significantly up in trip. Stable in good form but more is needed. Was 3l behind his stablemate and today's rival Mont St Michel on last start.
4	3 4th (3) (12/1 -167%) Winning Smut	12 12/1(-167%)	(3) Winning Smut 12/1, Twice-raced gelding on Flat. 11/2 and tongue strap on for 1st time, fourth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (22.6f, good) 26 days ago. Up in trip. In the mix. Decent hurdle run last time; not a bad effort in a Cork maiden over 1m2f; can run well.
5th	7 5th (7) (8/1 -33%) Viyanni	8 8/1(-33%)	(7) Viyanni 8/1, Twice-raced colt. Sixth of 13 in maiden at Fairyhouse (12f, good, 22/1) 8 days ago. Trainer going well so he's one to consider. This is a lesser contest than two previous races but still needs to find improvement.
6th	2 6th (2) (100/1 -203%) Tullyhogue Fort	100 100/1(-203%)	(2) Tullyhogue Fort 100/1, Thrice-raced gelding on Flat. Third of 15 in handicap chase (9/2) at this course (19.7f, good) 30 days ago. Poor on last Flat outing so others appeal more. Three-time jumps winner has been well beaten in three Flat maidens and can't be fancied.
7th	4 7th (4) (20/1 -25%) Apache Eagle	20 20/1(-25%)	(4) Apache Eagle 20/1, Twice-raced colt. 33/1, ninth of 13 in maiden at Tipperary (7.1f, heavy) 25 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Blinkers on 1st time. Blinkers on and has to improve markedly for the step up in trip on faster ground.
8th	1 8th (1) (9/1 -300%) Bukhill	9 9/1(-300%)	(1) Bukhill 9/1, Twice-raced gelding on Flat. Fair winner at 18f over hurdles. Off 7 months before eighth of 13 in maiden (22/1) at Fairyhouse (12f, good) 8 days ago. Enters calculations. Dual hurdle winner; has shown ability in two Flat starts and should run well.
9th	9 9th (9) (100/1 -100%) Starlight Legacy	100 100/1(-100%)	(9) Starlight Legacy 100/1, Once-raced filly. 33/1, last of 10 in maiden at the Curragh (12f, good to firm) on debut 17 days ago. Beaten 31l in a Curragh maiden on recent debut and will have to improve enormously.

MONT ST MICHEL has a similar profile to Sara Valentina which won another such designed-to-be-weak course maiden recently and today's selection is also allowed compete, despite being very much unexposed. By Galileo and out of an American Grade 1 winning mare, the selection is clearly no star and showed only mild promise when beaten 18 lengths by high-class Illinois on debut but finished his race reasonably well, should progress and this race is weak. If the selection fails to perform in first-time tongue-tie and blinkers, Gangster Granny might pick up the pieces being race-fit and having run well here when rated 59 ten days ago. Viyanni showed mild promise at Fairyhouse while Fighter finished behind his stablemate selection last year.

GANGSTER GRANNY holds the clear edge on form so is taken to gain her first victory at the chief expense of fair hurdles scorer Bukhill who could build on his recent Fairyhouse eighth. Viyanni and Winning Smut appeal as the pick of the remainder for minor honours.

MONT ST MICHEL can show improvement from his sole run last year and get off the mark, with a tongue-tie and blionkers to help.

Respectable fifth of 15 in handicap (33/1) at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) 20 days ago, having to pick way through. Series of good runs for new yard, including back on turf last time; leading contender.
2	4 2nd (4) (7/4 +0%) Jordan Electrics	1.75 7/4(+0%)	(4) Jordan Electrics 7/4, 4-time course winner. 3 wins from 5 runs this year. 9/4, career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Won 3 of his last 4 starts; made all latest; 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run.
3	1 3rd (1) (13/2 -117%) Alligator Alley	6.5 13/2(-117%)	(1) Alligator Alley 13/2, 22/1, ninth of 14 in handicap at Epsom (5f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Shortlist material from a falling mark. Down in class and handicapped to go well; happiest played late off a fast pace.
4	5 4th (5) (50/1 -257%) Pockley	50 50/1(-257%)	(5) Pockley 50/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 2¾ lengths fifth of 6 to Jordan Electrics in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to firm, 33/1) 10 days ago. 0-24 on turf and he's finished behind Jordan Electrics in two of his last three starts.
5th	6 5th (6) (28/1 -100%) Wee Fat Mac	28 28/1(-100%)	(6) Wee Fat Mac 28/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Newcastle in December. Seventh of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good to firm, 9/1) 10 days ago. Two wins in Class 6 events in December; down the field back on turf latest; vulnerable.

Latest win at Musselburgh in June. 9/4, sixth of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Has work to do from 8 lb out of weights. Progressive at a low level but effectively 13lb higher than for latest Musselburgh win.

Jordan Electrics has won three of his last four starts and this progressive type won more cosily than the half-length winning distance may suggest last time over 6f at Hamilton. Jim Goldie's gelding is likely to run well again, but the preference is for MOON FLIGHT. The four-year-old finished six lengths in front of the aforementioned runner on his most recent outing over 5f at Hamilton and he can confirm that form off 3lb better terms. Alligator Alley returns to a tempting mark and he completes the shortlist.

ALLIGATOR ALLEY hasn't won for a while, though is normally competing at a higher level and could be worth chancing in this company. That said, the thriving Jordan Electrics cannot be taken lightly. whilst Moon Flight didn't enjoy the clearest of passages at Hamilton last time and also enters considerations.

The thriving Jordan Electrics is high on the list but MOON FLIGHT's peak AW form this year brings him right into the picture.

Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Beaten in 6f handicaps this season but those were strong races won by James's Delight.
2	2 2nd (2) (2/1 +33%) Nazron	2 2/1(+33%)	(2) Nazron 2/1, Has some solid form to his name and completed a simple task when winning 8-runner maiden at Lingfield (5f, AW) 8 months ago, easily. Gelded since and looks up to winning more races this season. Off the mark at the fifth attempt at two, posting useful RPR; now gelded.
3	5 3rd (5) (15/2 -88%) Kings Merchant	7.5 15/2(-88%)	(5) Kings Merchant 15/2, Resumed winning ways in 9-runner handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to firm, 9/2) 15 days ago, proving determined.

5th	6 5th (6) (14/1 -100%) Make It Easy	14 14/1(-100%)	(6) Make It Easy 14/1, 8/1, shaped a bit better than the distance beaten suggests when fourth of 10 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good) 21 days ago, not clear run. Needs considering. Good fourth at York before finding plenty of trouble at Musselburgh; turn looks near.
6th	8 6th (8) (28/1 -75%) Master Of My Fate	28 28/1(-75%)	(8) Master Of My Fate 28/1, Lightly-raced winner who ran below form when fifth of 10 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good, 25/1) 21 days ago, albeit not ideally placed. Yet to match last season's best form in two handicaps this term but there's still time yet.

Despite doing plenty wrong throughout the race, DURAN went on to score cosily over 6f at Brighton earlier this month and, stepping back down to 5f off a workable mark for his handicap debut, he gets the vote. Make It Easy encountered traffic problems when finishing fourth over 5f at Musselburgh recently and she can get closer here, while Kings Merchant completes the shortlist dropping to the minimum trip on the back of a game victory off 2lb lower over 6f at Thirsk most recently.

NAZRON confirmed his previous promise when opening his account in good style at Lingfield back in October and appeals as the type to win more races this season, so he earns the vote. Kings Merchant impressed with his attitude at Thirsk on his most recent outing and is feared most ahead of Make It Easy.

In a competitive sprint MAKE IT EASY earns narrow preference over Kings Merchant but most of the runners are feasible winners.

Can make his presence felt once more off an unchanged mark. Yet to win a turf handicap but close 2nd in this race and the Stewards' Cup in 2023; solid.
23	23 (23) (50/1 -100%) Aleezdancer	50 50/1(-100%)	(23) Aleezdancer 50/1, Capitalised on a falling mark to notch a sixth success at York (6f) in May but he beat only one in 6f Epsom handicap three weeks ago. Needs to bounce back and suspect he needs rain to come. Found an impressive finish for 6f York win in May; excuses either side; not ruled out.

Not taken lightly back in handicap company. Progressive 3yo; better this year, with Listed 6f win and 5th in Group 2; can be involved.

Made an encouraging return when third in Doncaster listed event and run best ignored (stumbled start) at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 66 days ago. Sixth in this in 2023 so he merits consideration. Has not lived up to high expectations after 2 wins last spring, 6th in this race last June.

8th	17 8th (17) (125/1 -525%) Desert Cop	125 125/1(-525%)	(17) Desert Cop 125/1, Landed 6f Newmarket handicap at the Guineas meeting but he took a strong hold when a fading 11th upped to 7f there later in May. Sort to bounce back reverted in trip. Did well against top sprinters in 2023; useful 6f handicap form in May; possibilities.
9th	22 9th (22) (250/1 -400%) The Bell Conductor	250 250/1(-400%)	(22) The Bell Conductor 250/1, A two-time 5f winner at Southwell and Pontefract this year who wasn't disgraced when fifth of 14 in the Dash at Epsom 21 days ago. Not totally without hope back up in trip. Front-runner; all wins at 5f; failed to stay in his one attempt in a 6f handicap, in 2021.
10th	18 10th (18) (50/1 -52%) Chipstead	50 50/1(-52%)	(18) Chipstead 50/1, In winning form on AW this winter, scoring twice over 6f, and not seen to best effect when sixth of 14 in the Dash at Epsom 21 days ago. No forlorn hope. His most recent wins were 6f AW; this trip stretches him on turf and he faded in this 2023.
11th	11 11th (11) (14/1 +22%) Cover Up	14 14/1(+22%)	(11) Cover Up 14/1, Looked firmly on the up when bagging two 5f handicaps at Newcastle in February but he raced too freely when held by Fivethousandtoone in 6f handicap there following month. Worth another chance if settling better here. In his element sprinting on AW over the winter but not sure to last out this stiff 6f.
12th	3 12th (3) (80/1 -142%) Coachello	80 80/1(-142%)	(3) Coachello 80/1, Smart ex-Irish 6f/7f scorer but he arrives below par, only tenth of 14 in handicap (18/1) at Newcastle (6f) 31 days ago on his final run for Gordon Elliott. Headgear goes on and needs that and yard switch to spark a resurgence. Two Listed wins on turf; below best in 2024; up against it on debut for new yard.
13th	24 13th (24) (450/1 -1700%) Strike Red	450 450/1(-1700%)	(24) Strike Red 450/1, Signed off 2023 with 6f Curragh handicap success and he teed himself up well for this when a running-on fifth of 13 at Epsom (6f) three weeks ago. Bold showing on the cards from an unchanged mark. Ended 2023 with big 6f handicap win in Ireland last July; running into form; ground query.
14th	26 14th (26) (50/1 -178%) Mums Tipple	50 50/1(-178%)	(26) Mums Tipple 50/1, C&D winner who had been in good form until a below-form eighth of 13 in handicap at Epsom (6f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Can bounce back here. Good efforts in last three Ascot runs; close fourth in this last year and now 4lb lower.
15th	28 15th (28) (125/1 -150%) Warrior Brave	125 125/1(-150%)	(28) Warrior Brave 125/1, A three-time 6f/7f scorer last term who got back on track after 4 months off when third of 7 in conditions event at Fairyhouse (6f, good) 15 days ago. Can take a step forward now. Quite progressive in 2023 but below best at this meeting for the last two years.
16th	12 16th (12) (350/1 -1150%) Juan Les Pins	350 350/1(-1150%)	(12) Juan Les Pins 350/1, It's now 11 runs since his last win in 2023 but he wasn't disgraced when sixth of 11 to Lethal Levi in handicap at Newbury (6f, good to firm) 35 days ago having raced freely. Can't be dismissed with cheekpieces back on. Proven in top 6f handicaps, 3rd in this last year on good to firm; squeak.
17th	29 17th (29) (450/1 -582%) Roman Dragon	450 450/1(-582%)	(29) Roman Dragon 450/1, Kickstarted 2024 with 6f win at Sakhir in February but saw his run of good form come to an end when ninth of 11 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Needs to get back on track. RESERVE. All five British wins at Chester; up against it off 8lb higher than the latest of them.
18th	16 18th (16) (50/1 -488%) Albasheer	50 50/1(-488%)	(16) Albasheer 50/1, Resumed his progress with back-to-back Newcastle successes and raced too freely when ninth in Prix du Gros-Chene at Chantilly (5f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Shaped well on several occasions in similar big-field events last year and returns to a turf handicap from a potentially lenient mark. Made big name for himself on AW of late but also has strong claims on 6f turf form in 2023.
19th	7 19th (7) (350/1 -2817%) Saint Lawrence	350 350/1(-2817%)	(7) Saint Lawrence 350/1, Made a winning debut for this yard in this 12 months ago and has hinted at a revival of late, not seen to best effect when tenth in 7f Newmarket handicap last month. Needs considering in refitted blinkers off an easing mark. Won this race on yard debut in 2023; now just 3lb higher; H Doyle switches to Albasheer.
20th	19 20th (19) (350/1 -600%) Torivega	350 350/1(-600%)	(19) Torivega 350/1, Resumed progress after 9 months off when third of 17 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, good) on return 29 days ago, nearest finish. This Irish challenger can't be discounted. Promising and unexposed, useful 3rd in 6f handicap on comeback; raced on good or slower.
21st	20 21st (20) (350/1 -1650%) Ferrous	350 350/1(-1650%)	(20) Ferrous 350/1, Has taken his form up a level this term, going in at Wolverhampton and Kempton before posting a good third of 11 to Lethal Levi in handicap at Newbury (6f, good to firm) 35 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts. Thrived on AW before keeping on well in 3rd back on turf latest; same mark; could improve.
22nd	2 22nd (2) (125/1 -468%) Fivethousandtoone	125 125/1(-468%)	(2) Fivethousandtoone 125/1, Lightly raced 6-y-o who has improved for the application of a visor this year, scoring on AW at Kempton and Newcastle. Not best drawn when ninth of 14 in 1895 Duke of York Stakes at York (6f, good) 38 days ago so possibilities. High in weights after latest AW win; has had limitations in good 6f turf handicaps.
23rd	5 23rd (5) (250/1 -1983%) Harry Three	250 250/1(-1983%)	(5) Harry Three 250/1, A three-time 6f scorer in 2022 but off 21 months/gelded before coming in a rusty fourth of six in 6f Salisbury listed race four weeks ago. No surprise to see him take a major step forward with that under his belt so one to consider. Rising star as 3yo; missed 2023; fair return; good chance if still the same horse.
24th	6 24th (6) (150/1 -971%) Rumstar	150 150/1(-971%)	(6) Rumstar 150/1, Winless since 2022 but he comes here on the back of a good 1½ lengths second of 11 to Lethal Levi in handicap at Newbury (6f, good to firm) 35 days ago. One for the shortlist despite taking a 2 lb rise. Group 3 5f winner as 2yo; staying-on 5th in Commonwealth Cup in 2023; back to form latest.
25th	4 25th (4) (450/1 -1507%) Flaming Rib	450 450/1(-1507%)	(4) Flaming Rib 450/1, Smart colt who kickstarted 2023 with victory in 6f Doha conditions event. Below par since though, only tenth of 13 in 6f Epsom handicap last time. Others appeal more. 2nd in Group 1 Commonwealth Cup in 2022; didn't shine in this race last year; doubts now.

Saint Lawrence started at odds of 22/1 when winning this contest last year and is a prime example of how this race can be a minefield for punters, but, given Apollo One (runner-up) and Juan Les Pins (third) have also gone up in the weights, he still offers some value in trying to emulate Rohaan, who landed back-to-back wins in the two previous editions. Albasheer drops in class but was notably well held in this 12 months ago and again carries risk. Therefore, perhaps Mums Tipple, off 4lb lower after finishing fourth to Archie Watson's gelding, could reverse that form. However, DARK TROOPER, a dual C&D winner when trained by Ed Walker, may be the way to go for win only purposes, given he is a proven course specialist who is still on an upwards trajectory.

Plenty in with a shout but it could pay to side with ALBASHEER who remains on an attractive mark despite scoring twice this term on the AW at Newcastle and should find this stiff 6f right up his street. Richard Fahey's Strike Red is another who should be suited by conditions and he is next on the list after an encouraging Epsom fifth. Unequal Love and Ferrous both command plenty of respect too, with Glenfinnan completing the shortlist in a typically ultra-competitive Wokingham.

The ability to act on fast ground is crucial and ALBASHEER (nap) has a good deal in his favour on his best 6f form last year.

1	3 1st (3) (10/11 +9%) Lily Hart	0.909091 10/11(+9%)	(3) Lily Hart 10/11, Promising individual. Second of 8 in maiden at the Curragh (10f, soft, 2/1) 27 days ago. Up in trip and she's the one to beat. Modest debut last year but much better when runner-up (fav') at Curragh on return; player.
2	1 2nd (1) (4/1 -14%) Dark Oak	4 4/1(-14%)	(1) Dark Oak 4/1, Twice-raced filly. Third of 13 in maiden at Fairyhouse (12f, good, 25/1) 8 days ago. Likely to improve and should make her presence felt. Improved from her debut to finish a solid 3rd at Fairyhouse last time and can run well.
3	5 3rd (5) (5/2 -67%) Yes Oui Si	2.5 5/2(-67%)	(5) Yes Oui Si 5/2, Thrice-raced filly. Third of 10 in maiden (22/1) at the Curragh (12f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Key player. Lots of improvement raised to this trip when 3rd at Curragh on good ground last time.
4	4 4th (4) (150/1 -50%) Mighty Special	150 150/1(-50%)	(4) Mighty Special 150/1, Once-raced filly. 250/1, last of 14 in maiden at Leopardstown (7.2f, good to soft) on debut 9 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Beaten a long way over 7f on debut; this trip more suitable but still best watched.
5th	2 5th (2) (40/1 +20%) Lightning Legs	40 40/1(+20%)	(2) Lightning Legs 40/1, Twice-raced filly. Eighth of 11 in maiden (150/1) at Navan (10.2f, good) 14 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Up in trip and she needs to take a big step forward. Beaten 22l and 14l in maidens over shorter so will have to improve plenty.

Lily Hart will no doubt improve for last month's reappearance when finding one too good over 1m2f. The Ballydoyle filly should be bang there at the finish, but YES OUI SI may edge this having posted her best effort so far when upped to 1m4f at the Curragh, finishing a respectable third. Dark Oak is another going the right way judged on last week's placed effort at Fairyhouse and is preferred of the rest.

LILY HART left her 2-y-o debut effort well behind upped to 1¼m in a maiden at the Curragh last month and, with further improvement likely now that she takes another step up in trip, the Galileo filly will take plenty of stopping. Dark Oak could be the one for the forecast, albeit Yes Oui Si also commands respect.

LILY HART almost justified favouritism in a Curragh maiden over 1m2f. She can improve from that and score up to this trip.

Winless since 2022 but he needs considering with that run under his belt. Best results have been on AW; respectable show over just 1m4f on turf two weeks ago.
2	4 2nd (4) (11/2 -57%) Expressionless	5.5 11/2(-57%)	(4) Expressionless 11/2, Got back to winning ways in 10-runner handicap at Nottingham (14f, good) 20 days ago. Up 3 lb but he remains unexposed as a stayer so can do better still. Player. Nottingham 1m6f win latest; still 9lb below peak mark and may have more to give at 1m6f.
3	5 3rd (5) (40/1 -21%) Swiss Money	40 40/1(-21%)	(5) Swiss Money 40/1, Arrives below par, only sixth of 7 in handicap at Goodwood (12f, good) 15 days ago. Cheekpieces go on now with a bit to prove. 0-9 in Britain, with not much impact in his Flat outings; cheekpieces are added.
4	7 4th (7) (50/1 -733%) Merrijig	50 50/1(-733%)	(7) Merrijig 50/1, Resumed with 14f win at Chelmsford City in March and got back on track with third of 10 to Expressionless at Nottingham (14f, good) 20 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. Two 1m6f wins and he ran creditably behind Expressionless at Nottingham on latest start.
5th	2 5th (2) (100/1 -2400%) Single	100 100/1(-2400%)	(2) Single 100/1, C&D winner who returned from 10 months off with success in 6-runner handicap at Nottingham (14f, good) 17 days ago. Up 3 lb but he's not taken lightly. Reliable type, not with the best strike-rate but she made no mistake on Nottingham return.
6th	3 6th (3) (40/1 -1233%) Lunar Shadow	40 40/1(-1233%)	(3) Lunar Shadow 40/1, Comes here on the back of a career-best victory in 8-runner handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 18 days ago. Firmly in the picture despite taking a 6 lb hike in the weights. Another AW win latest; last two turf runs were easily her best, but on good to soft.
7th	6 7th (6) (100/1 -1718%) Star Legend	100 100/1(-1718%)	(6) Star Legend 100/1, Comes here in good form over hurdles, runner-up at Market Rasen (2m4f) 15 days ago. Very much one to consider back in this sphere off a lenient mark. Creditable sixth of 16 in Chester Cup consolation race (2m2f) before two 2nds over hurdles.

SINGLE made an excellent return to action when scoring by just under a length at Nottingham earlier in the month and a 3lb rise for that success might prove to be lenient. Jack Channon's mare is a previous C&D winner and could be hard to beat again. Expressionless got his head back in front at Nottingham and should remain competitive off a 3lb higher rating, while Lunar Shadow is another to note after her Lingfield triumph.

A few with chances but EXPRESSIONLESS looks to have more to offer as a stayer so is taken to defy a 3 lb weight rise and follow up his recent Nottingham success, The handily-weighted Star Legend heads the list of dangers, although Mountain Road, Lunar Shadow and Single can all have a say too in an intriguing handicap.

This looks tricky, including tactically, but the last-time-out turf winners EXPRESSIONLESS and Single could be the two to focus on.

6	6 (6) (33/1 -230%) Autocrat	33 33/1(-230%)	(6) Autocrat 33/1, 20/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, below form seventh of 16 in novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. AW winner at this trip; fit from hurdling so don't rule out with new headgear combination.
1	12 1st (12) (9/2 -29%) Rapid Mission	4.5 9/2(-29%)	(12) Rapid Mission 9/2, Gelded/blinkered for 1st time when returning from 7 months off with an encouraging fifth of 7 in handicap at Navan (10.2f, good, 8/1) 14 days ago. Up in trip so this Frankel gelding is very much one to consider. Sights lowered here and longer trip could suit 3yo.
2	11 2nd (11) (28/1 +15%) Qasbaz	28 28/1(+15%)	(11) Qasbaz 28/1, First run since leaving James McAuley when sixteenth of 22 in novice hurdle (50/1) at Punchestown (19.4f, good) on NH debut 14 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Looks competitive on form if back on his A-game. Recent hurdles/yard debut should have brought him on and not one to rule out.
3	3 3rd (3) (16/1 -300%) Eskimo Komet	16 16/1(-300%)	(3) Eskimo Komet 16/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. 4½ lengths eighth of 9 to Alessio in Oleander-Rennen at Hoppegarten (15.9f, good) 34 days ago. Back down in trip. Last of 8 in Group 2 in Germany last month, more realistic target here.

5th	4 5th (4) (5/2 +38%) Master Dunraven	2.5 5/2(+38%)	(4) Master Dunraven 5/2, 1 win from 2 runs this year. Winner at Navan in May. Creditable sixth of 16 in handicap (3/1) at Fairyhouse (10f, good to soft) 23 days ago, needing stiffer test. Back up in trip. Yard in good form. Well in the mix. Left with plenty to do at Fairyhouse latest; stays this trip and remains of interest.
6th	9 6th (9) (33/1 -371%) Cafe Con Leche	33 33/1(-371%)	(9) Cafe Con Leche 33/1, Tenth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (19.1f, heavy, 18/1) 174 days ago. Off 174 days. Fair on the Flat so can make presence felt. Unlikely to have his ground here and watching brief advised on first run since December.
7th	14 7th (14) (14/1 -115%) Black Soul	14 14/1(-115%)	(14) Black Soul 14/1, Good second of 13 in handicap (8/1) at Tipperary (12.5f, soft). Off 10 months but weighted to go well if fully tuned up for his comeback. Absent since good second at Tipperary last August; big player if forward enough.

MASTER DUNRAVEN raced from well off the pace and met some interference at Fairyhouse last month and should be suited by reverting to this distance. His only win was indeed gained over that same 1m2f distance, but having been outpaced at Fairyhouse, was also hampered three furlongs out before staying on reasonably well to finish a never-nearer sixth. Three-year-old Rapid Mission races against older horses for the first time but showed some promise on his seasonal reappearance recently. By Frankel, his juvenile form was useful and could be suited by stepping up to this distance. Black Soul is ideally suited by conditions and but is nonetheless long absent.

This looks wide open so it could be worth siding with Joseph O'Brien's son of Frankel RAPID MISSION who is fancied to take a step forward from his reappearance Navan fifth with this step up in trip also a likely plus. Fairyhouse-fourth Out On Friday is next on the list with Inchiquin Star and Master Dunraven also in the picture.

OUT ON FRIDAY gets the vote on the back of a fine run over further at Fairyhouse last week and seems sure to make a bold bid

Can give another good account after a break. Improved in AW handicaps this winter; 6lb rise for latest narrow win asks more of him.

After being only narrowly touched off over 7f at Leicester last time, this appears to be a good opportunity for MOON MAN to go one better. David O'Meara's charge was beaten just a neck on that occasion and raised just 1lb, he looks capable of shedding the maiden tag. The hat-trick seeking Mereside Madness is feared most but he may struggle to defy an 6lb rise for his Newcastle success in February, while Eminent Jewel also won last time at Wetherby and isn't easily discounted.

EMINENT JEWEL did well under the circumstances when making a winning return at Wetherby 19 days ago, scoring cosily despite having been slowly away, so she is taken to continue her progress to follow up. Gundogan also improved on his reappearance and is feared most as he makes his second handicap start, ahead of Moon Man.

A small field but still plenty of interest. EMINENT JEWEL won well at Wetherby this month and she can defy her 4lb rise in the weights.

1	3 1st (3) (10/3 -141%) Red Force One	3.333333 10/3(-141%)	(3) Red Force One 10/3, C&D winner who finally cashed in on a much-reduced mark in 4-runner handicap at Musselburgh (16f, good to firm) 9 days ago, staying on well. Expected to go well in follow-up bid. Readily won at Musselburgh latest; C&D winner merits serious consideration off 3lb higher.
2	9 2nd (9) (16/1 +0%) Visitant	16 16/1(+0%)	(9) Visitant 16/1, Unreliable individual. C&D winner. Bit below form when sixth of 13 in handicap at Pontefract (10f, good, 28/1) 12 days ago, running on. C&D scorer arrives in decent nick, sixth at Pontefract (1m2f) 12 days ago; possibilities.

4	5 4th (5) (13/2 +46%) Michael's Pledge	6.5 13/2(+46%)	(5) Michael's Pledge 13/2, Unreliable sort who ran poorly on first run since leaving John Quinn when seventh of 9 in handicap at Ripon (16f, good) 43 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Well-held seventh at Ripon on return; cheekpieces replace blinkers; others preferred.
5th	6 5th (6) (33/1 +0%) Major Snugfit	33 33/1(+0%)	(6) Major Snugfit 33/1, Beat only one home in 14-runner handicap hurdle (25/1) at Hexham (16.2f, good to soft) 32 days ago. Poor on last Flat outing. Others preferred. Yet to fire in three runs for his current yard; he's hard to warm to.
6th	7 6th (7) (9/1 -200%) Sam Sarphati	9 9/1(-200%)	(7) Sam Sarphati 9/1, Showed improved form to get off the mark in 13-runner handicap at Pontefract (17.1f, good) 12 days ago. 3 lb rise fair and not taken lightly in follow-up bid. Improved when opening his account at Pontefract 12 days ago; big shout despite a 3lb rise.

RED FORCE ONE readily pulled clear when scoring over 2m at Musselburgh last week and, though the step back in trip doesn't look to be the obvious move, a 3lb rise for that dominant display appears lenient. Sam Sarphati took advantage of a tumbling mark when running out a game winner over 2m1f at Pontefract latest and is entitled to respect, for all that a 3lb rise demands more of him. Michael's Pledge is also considered now sporting cheekpieces for the first time.

SAM SARPHATI led home some in-form rivals when opening his account at Pontefract recently and, given his low-mileage profile, a 3 -lb rise may not be enough to prevent the follow up in a race containting plenty of dead wood. Red Force One isn't anywhere near the force of old but is still respected as a last-time-out scorer, while Carlton might be the one to fill the place providing his stamina holds out (unproven beyond 12.5f).

The vote goes to SAM SARPHATI, who took his form up a notch when scoring at Pontefract and remains unexposed as a stayer.

7	7 (7) (12/1 +14%) Primo Lara	12 12/1(+14%)	(7) Primo Lara 12/1, New Bay gelding who has taken off since handicapping, comfortably defying a 5 lb rise for Chelmsford when quickening clear at York (1¼m, good) 4 weeks ago. Even a further 9 lb hike in his mark may not stop this fast-improving sort. 1m2f wins in both his handicaps, without much difficulty at York latest; raised 9lb.
11	11 (11) (12/1 +25%) Dambuster	12 12/1(+25%)	(11) Dambuster 12/1, Promising type who made it 2 wins in 3 starts when leading towards the finish in 1¼m Beverley novice on reappearance. Handicap debut. Appeals as the type to go on improving. Found plenty to deliver strong late bids for his two wins, all 3 runs on softer than good.
3	3 (3) (20/1 +0%) Arabic Legend	20 20/1(+0%)	(3) Arabic Legend 20/1, Useful Dubawi colt who was a creditable fourth in an Epsom listed race over this trip on his reappearance before seemingly stretched by a longer trip in the Lingfield Derby Trial. The drop back to 1¼m looks a good move on handicap debut but he'll need a smart effort from his mark. Fair 4th in Epsom Listed race (1m2f) before well beaten at 20-1 in Lingfield Derby Trial.
5	5 (5) (25/1 +24%) Balmacara	25 25/1(+24%)	(5) Balmacara 25/1, Raced only at 7f, bagging a pair of novices at Doncaster this spring in good style. Well-held third when stepped up to listed company at Epsom last time. Steps up significantly in trip for handicap debut but there is stamina in his pedigree. Also hooded first time. Has an extra 3f today and while he's bred to stay, he's been racing exuberantly; hood now.
1	8 1st (8) (9/4 +36%) Hand Of God	2.25 9/4(+36%)	(8) Hand Of God 9/4, Newmarket maiden winner last autumn who made a successful handicap debut/reappearance in the Esher Cup at Sandown (1m, good to soft) in April. His pedigree suggests 1¼m will suit and he might well have been saved for this. Interesting runner. Impressive in Newmarket maiden; seemed to be crying out for 1m2f when taking a 1m handicap.
2	1 2nd (1) (9/1 +36%) Cambridge	9 9/1(+36%)	(1) Cambridge 9/1, Dubawi colt who won a 1m Salisbury maiden before finishing second in a Group 2 at Leopardstown (9f, heavy) on his final 2-y-o outing. Better effort in Group races this spring when 8¾ lengths fourth to Economics in Dante at York (1¼m) last month. Handicap debut. Craven and 1m2f Dante fourth; this handicap debut seems to demand a chunk more though.
3	2 3rd (2) (18/1 +36%) Black Run	18 18/1(+36%)	(2) Black Run 18/1, Won a Goodwood novice last autumn and showed much improved form (also tongue tied first time) when adding to his tally in 1¼m Newmarket handicap in May. Might have found the race coming too soon when well held in the London Gold Cup at Newbury under a fortnight later. Front-runner for his two wins and not when well beaten in the London Gold Cup at Newbury.
4	6 4th (6) (20/1 +0%) Nerano	20 20/1(+0%)	(6) Nerano 20/1, Improved in each start thus far, finishing fifth of 13 on 7f Curragh handicap debut 4 weeks ago. Steps up significantly in trip here. Creditable Curragh fifth (7f, good) on handicap/turf debut; appealing prospect for 1m2f.
5th	15 5th (15) (450/1 -1264%) Whiskey Pete	450 450/1(-1264%)	(15) Whiskey Pete 450/1, Useful effort to bag a 1m York nursery on final 2-y-o start. Something can't have been right when pulled up on York reappearance and got his career back on track when 7¾ lengths seventh of 12 to Persica at Epsom (1¼m) 3 weeks ago. Needs to take another step forward now. Put reappearance shocker largely behind him at Epsom (1m2f) 16 days later but in 7th of 12.
6th	9 6th (9) (250/1 -2173%) Palace Green	250 250/1(-2173%)	(9) Palace Green 250/1, Much improved back from a gelding op when 5-length winner of 1¼m Kempton novice on reappearance. Took another step forward when third of 8 in a 1½m York Dante meeting handicap last month. Won't have any issue with the drop back in trip. Probably capable of better again. Quickened from last to first at York (1m4f) before rather running out of steam in final 1f.
7th	10 7th (10) (250/1 -3025%) Approval	250 250/1(-3025%)	(10) Approval 250/1, Runner-up in a pair of 8.6f Wolverhampton novices this spring before taking his form up a notch back on turf with a smooth win at Windsor (1¼m) 12 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Definitely more to come from him. Made all in 15-runner Windsor novice (1m2f, good to firm) 12 days ago; competitive mark.
8th	16 8th (16) (350/1 -3400%) Portsmouth	350 350/1(-3400%)	(16) Portsmouth 350/1, Promise in 3 starts on the AW at 2 yrs and, gelded during the winter, he improved switched to turf when scoring in good style on his reappearance/handicap debut at Epsom (8.5f) in April. Good runner-up efforts at Goodwood and back at Epsom (1¼m) since. May do better again. Raced freely when 2nd at Epsom latest, so should be able to find extra if settling better..
9th	14 9th (14) (450/1 -1025%) Grey Cuban	450 450/1(-1025%)	(14) Grey Cuban 450/1, Came out on top switched to AW in 8.6f Wolverhampton novice in April but held in handicaps at Chester and Epsom since. Free-going sort; ran respectably in his handicaps at Chester (7.5f) and Epsom (1m2f).
10th	4 10th (4) (450/1 -2400%) Treasure	450 450/1(-2400%)	(4) Treasure 450/1, Made a winning debut in the mud at Nottingham last autumn. Useful effort when fourth of 7 to stablemate You Got To Me in Lingfield Oaks Trial (11.5f, good to firm) on return in May but down the field in the Oaks itself 3 weeks later. Makes handicap debut with cheekpieces added. Beaten just under 2l in the Lingfield Oaks Trial but tailed off at 22-1 in the Oaks itself.
11th	12 11th (12) (400/1 -2400%) Miletus	400 400/1(-2400%)	(12) Miletus 400/1, Much improved when making it third time lucky in 1m Windsor novice (heavy) 45 days ago. That race has worked out, with the second and third winning next time. Handicap debut. Still inexperienced in 1m Windsor novice win but kept finding; the form has been boosted.
12th	13 12th (13) (450/1 -6329%) Old Faithful	450 450/1(-6329%)	(13) Old Faithful 450/1, Has improved since stepped up to 1¼m, winning a conditions race at Naas and a Navan handicap in recent weeks. Tends to idle in front and it wouldn't be any surprise to see him progress again. Tricky and seemingly needs to be played late with hands and heels; won his last two though.

After a bloodless success over 1m2f at Windsor last time, APPROVAL could be anything and this exciting proposition could make a mockery of an opening handicap mark of 90. William Haggas' charge barely saw another rival on that occasion and showed a likeable attitude to race clear in the closing stages, looking better the further he went. The main danger could be fellow prominent racer Hand Of God, who justified a short price to win the Esher Cup over 1m at Sandown in April and will likely appreciate this extra yardage. The hat-trick seeking Old Faithful appears to be Aidan O'Brien's first string, while stablemate Cambridge returns to handicap company after running with credit in Group company. Andrew Balding saddled Foxes Tales to victory in 2021 and he's represented by Portsmouth.

There was a lot to like about the way PRIMO LARA came clear at York last time and he's selected to defy another rise in the weights. The draw could have been kinder to Hand of God but it looks like he's been saved for this since his Esher Cup success so he's still second choice ahead of Palace Green and Approval.

A great deal is in place for HAND OF GOD to run well and the fast ground earns him preference over Dambuster and Nerano.

Smart winner at 17f over hurdles. 2¼ lengths fifth of 12 to Thunder Roll in listed race at Cork (12.1f, good to soft, 7/2) on debut in this sphere 57 days ago, hampered. Obvious claims. Talented mare over hurdles, sets a high standard following good Listed run on Flat debut.

Needs considering on debut in this sphere. Useful handicap hurdler, has run well when fresh in the past, makes Flat debut.
5th	1 5th (1) (33/1 +0%) Churchwarden	33 33/1(+0%)	(1) Churchwarden 33/1, Twice-raced gelding on Flat. 10/1, 34¾ lengths last of 4 to Bottler'secret in Winning Fair Juvenile Hurdle at Naas (15.6f, heavy) 118 days ago. Off 118 days and likely to come up short once more. Shaped quite well in a 1m4f maiden last October, ran over hurdles during the winter.

MAGICAL ZOE proved herself to not be out of place in Listed company when finishing fifth on her first start on the Flat at Cork last time. Henry De Bromhead's classy hurdler will find this a lot easier and she looks difficult to oppose. The main threat might be Neptunes Staircase, who has finished second on his last three starts when competing in maiden company, although Stariam has also knocked hard on the door and should break through sooner rather than later.

It's hard to look beyond MAGICAL ZOE, a smart hurdler who didn't shape at all badly on debut in this sphere in a listed race at Cork. Nucky Johnson is taken to follow the selection home, with both Stariam and Neptunes Staircase likely to be on the premises, too.

Henry de Bromhead set the bar high for smart hurdler MAGICAL ZOE(nap) on her first Flat run and she can avail of this drop in class

Thirty-two runs since last win in 2021. 14/1, respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at Haydock (16.2f, good to soft) 28 days ago, never nearer. Looks vulnerable. Stuck on a losing run but latest fourth came in a warm handicap; couldn't dismiss.

Career best when winning 7-runner handicap (11/10) at Ascot (16f, good) 43 days ago, having run of race. Now 4 lb higher in a stronger handicap but he's evidently on the up. Now 4lb higher and they claimed 5lb off his back last time, so has more on his plate.

Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Haydock (11.8f, good to firm, 11/2) 14 days ago, getting first run. 5 lb rise demands better still but he's a player nonetheless. Has won two of his last three and this progressive 4yo holds strong claims.
6th	3 6th (3) (16/1 +36%) Wickywickywheels	16 16/1(+36%)	(3) Wickywickywheels 16/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. First run since leaving Jim Goldie when ninth of 12 in handicap at Hamilton (13.1f, good to firm, 28/1) 20 days ago. Questions to answer. 2022 was her year; now on a losing run and ran a quiet first race for Lucinda Russell.
7th	10 7th (10) (22/1 -10%) Ayr Poet	22 22/1(-10%)	(10) Ayr Poet 22/1, Five-time course winner. 10/3, creditable second of 7 in handicap at this course (10f, good) 19 days ago, no match for winner. Significantly up in trip and no easy task from 7 lb out of the weights. Goes well here but best form is at shorter and he's out of the weights.

Has slipped down the weights and dangerous to discount, for all that he's not getting any younger. Second run back was a lot better than the first when a front-running fourth at Newmarket.

Iron Lion struck by a length in this grade over 1m4f at Haydock earlier in the month and he is 5lb higher for that triumph up in trip, so he holds an obvious chance. However, the vote goes to BAILEYS KHELSTAR, who made every yard of the running over 2m at Ascot last time and the four-year-old may have been worth more than the winning margins suggests. The son of Sea The Stars can land the hat-trick, while Ayr Poet is another to consider.

DIVINA GRACE wasn't at her best when fourth to Iron Lion at Haydock a fortnight ago but, now 6 lb better off with David O'Meara's representative, it would be no surprise were she to turn the tables this time. Iron Lion should make his presence felt once more but bigger threats may be posed by the hat-trick seeking Baileys Khelstar and Island Brave, who has dipped to an attractive mark.

Topweight IRON LION has a progressive profile and is taken to make it three wins from his last four starts.

TRIBAL WISDOM was only narrowly beaten on the Polytrack here on his penultimate start and should he put the disappointment of last month's fifth over the extended 1m4f at Chester behind him, he should take some stopping. Ian Williams' charge has been eased 1lb by the handicapper and is taken to go well. Charlie's Choice (second) and Morcar (third) are closely matched on their meeting here a fortnight ago and can also get involved.

TRIBAL WISDOM was unsuited by the way things developed at Chester last time and he'd been in good order on the AW prior to that, so he makes most appeal. Charlie's Choice and Morcar both arrive on the back of solid efforts and look feasible dangers.

A trappy race that could turn tactical. CHARLIE'S CHOICE ran well here last time and looks to have as good a chance as any.

Leading contender with further improvement to come. Close second of four over C&D on second start and strong claims on the back of that.
2	2 2nd (2) (33/1 -106%) Make Aclaim	33 33/1(-106%)	(2) Make Aclaim 33/1, 7,000 gns foal, Aclaim gelding. Half-brother to 7f-1m winner Belo Horizonte. Dam unraced half-sister to 6f-7f winner Van Ellis and 1¼m-1½m winner Soto Sizzler (both smart). Has a fairly useful standard to aim at making his first start. Half-brother to 7f/1m winner Belo Horizonte (RPR 79); useful standard needed on debut.
3	1 3rd (1) (7/1 -133%) Across Earth	7 7/1(-133%)	(1) Across Earth 7/1, Made the frame in all 3 of his qualifying runs and took a step forward on handicap debut when runner-up at Southwell (12.1f) in March. Lesser effort at Sandown on his latest outing, but he's worth another chance back up in trip having been gelded. Well beaten on turf debut but gelded since and he's a leading contender on his AW form.
4	7 4th (7) (7/1 +0%) Edna E Mode	7 7/1(+0%)	(7) Edna E Mode 7/1, Showed plenty to work on making her debut and backed up that effort when third in minor event at Lingfield (10f, good to firm) 2 weeks ago, despite seeming unsuited by the drop in trip. Remains capable of better. Displayed ability on both starts and could progress, but improvement certainly needed.
5th	4 5th (4) (100/1 -2122%) Catalan King	100 100/1(-2122%)	(4) Catalan King 100/1, Cityscape gelding. Dam, 1m-1¼m winner who stayed 1½m, half-sister to smart 5.5f-1m winner Shediak. Yard going well so the market could be informative as he makes his debut. First foal of useful dam; makes debut with yard in excellent form and he's one to consider.
6th	5 6th (5) (100/1 -300%) Cloudside Rock	100 100/1(-300%)	(5) Cloudside Rock 100/1, Hinted at ability when sixth of 10 in maiden at Redcar (10f, soft) on debut 25 days ago, some headway 2f out before no further impression. He's likely to need more time, though. On different ground today but needs to take a big step forward from his Redcar debut.
7th	6 7th (6) (100/1 -1329%) Bayadere	100 100/1(-1329%)	(6) Bayadere 100/1, Shaped with a bit of promise of her first outing when fourth of 6 in minor event at Lingfield (10f, good to firm) a fortnight ago, 1½ lengths behind the third-placed Edna E Mode. Could fare better with that first run behind her. Green when keeping on for 4th of six on recent debut; open to improvement now up in trip.

MY DREAM WORLD looked a work in progress when he chased home an odds-on favourite over C&D, but he should have learned a great deal from the experience and rates the one to be with here. Edna E Mode (third) finished a length and a half in front of Bayadere (fourth) when they clashed over 1m2f at Lingfield and can at least be expected to uphold that form over this longer trip. The class-dropping Across Earth is also considered.

MY DREAM WORLD was still green but showed much improved form when runner-up at this C&D on his return, pulling clear of the remainder, so he looks to hold leading claims of going one better. Across Earth had been going the right way prior to his latest start, so he's not written off having been gelded, with Edna E Mode completing the shortlist.

Having gone close over C&D a fortnight ago on his second start, MY DREAM WORLD is taken to go one better.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
13	13 (13) (7/2 +0%) Queenstown	3.5 7/2(+0%)	(13) Queenstown 7/2, Off the mark returning from 6 months off in a back-end maiden at the Curragh last year and has taken his form up a notch this year, managing to get closer to stablemate Kyprios in Saval Beg Levmoss Stakes at Leopardstown (14f, good) just over 5 weeks ago. Plenty to like over this marathon trip. His form is right up there but, unraced beyond 1m6f, his stamina could be an issue.
7	7 (7) (9/2 +55%) Tashkhan	4.5 9/2(+55%)	(7) Tashkhan 9/2, Snapped a losing run (almost 27 months) at Chester last September and ran an absolute stormer under a penalty/top weight in the Cesarewitch at Newmarket (18f) a fortnight later, picked off only late. Good third in Prix Royal-Oak to round off his season so rates as a major player on return. Has the class to feature if putting his best foot forward but fast ground is a negative.
1	1 (1) (11/1 -22%) Trueshan	11 11/1(-22%)	(1) Trueshan 11/1, One of the leading stayers of recent years and showed he still has plenty to offer when landing the Doncaster Cup and Prix du Cadran last season. Not disgraced under a Group 1 penalty in Sagaro at Ascot/Henry II Stakes at Sandown both starts this term but likely fast ground not ideal. Top-class stayer but below par this term; ideally needs ground softer than good.
14	14 (14) (14/1 +22%) Grand Providence	14 14/1(+22%)	(14) Grand Providence 14/1, Nathaniel filly who scored 3 times in 2023, latest in 2m2f handicap at Newmarket in September. Resumed with a promising third in 2m Newbury handicap and ran to a similar level when fifth in the Chester Cup (18.6f, good to firm) just over 6 weeks ago. More required to feature. Good fifth in the Chester Cup last time but she has more on her plate at the weights.
12	12 (12) (100/1 +0%) Ndaawi	100 100/1(+0%)	(12) Ndaawi 100/1, Successful twice for Andrew Balding in 2022 and made it third time lucky over hurdles for this yard at Navan in January. Good third in the Fred Winter at the Cheltenham Festival next time and far from disgraced when seventh in Tuesday's Ascot Stakes (20f). Engaged 4.25 here Friday. Weakened over 2m4f here on Tuesday and again looks vulnerable.
1	8 1st (8) (9/4 +80%) Uxmal	2.25 9/4(+80%)	(8) Uxmal 9/4, Bumped into a now borderline very smart rival in listed race at Saint-Cloud last September but capitalised on the drop in grade in straightforward style to double his career tally on return at Killarney (14.2f, soft) just under 6 weeks ago. Hiked up in trip and is 1 of 3 for this yard. Late developer, improving; heads here as the least exposed horse in the field.
2	6 2nd (6) (4/1 +20%) Run For Oscar	4 4/1(+20%)	(6) Run For Oscar 4/1, Trouble in running from a poor position tactically prevented him going very close in this last year, finishing with running left into third. Has found both this year's assignments wholly inadequate tests (14f and 16f respectively) and he should be in the mix with headgear reapplied. This has no doubt been the plan since finishing an unlucky third 12 months ago.
3	2 3rd (2) (3/1 +14%) Dawn Rising	3 3/1(+14%)	(2) Dawn Rising 3/1, Justified strong support when landing this corresponding race last year, finding extra when tackled final 1f. Has finished down the field on both outings this season but his latest effort at Leopardstown was a step back in the right direction and should be spot on for this. Won this last year and defends on the back of a similarly encouraging prep run; big shout.
4	3 4th (3) (18/1 +45%) Fasol	18 18/1(+45%)	(3) Fasol 18/1, Smart performer in France, winning at Angers last year. Sold from Christophe Ferland for €155,000 after his runner-up effort in Prix Gladiateur in September and improved from hurdling debut when second in maiden just under 7 weeks ago. Tongue tie on and he's interesting returned to the Flat. Had Group form in France; recent second over hurdles; should have the stamina for this.
5th	11 5th (11) (400/1 -700%) Nachtgeist	400 400/1(-700%)	(11) Nachtgeist 400/1, Useful performer at best in Germany, winning a maiden at Baden-Baden for Waldemar Hickst last year. Just modest form over hurdles for Anthony Charlton last season and this looks a stiff task on first start for another new yard. Good Flat form in Germany but subsequent hurdling efforts reduce his appeal.
6th	9 6th (9) (66/1 -65%) Drawn To Dream	66 66/1(-65%)	(9) Drawn To Dream 66/1, 4-y-o filly who developed into a useful performer in Germany last season, winning listed race at Mulheim (19.9f) in September. Shaped well on her first outing since leaving Peter Schiergen after 8 months off when sixth of 16 in Copper Horse Handicap here on Tuesday and now stepped back up in trip. Good run over 1m6f here on Tuesday given that she raced freely; stays this far.
7th	4 7th (4) (350/1 -1150%) Magellan Strait	350 350/1(-1150%)	(4) Magellan Strait 350/1, Caused a 150/1 shock when landing the Irish Cesarewitch at the Curragh (16.8f, heavy) last September and returned with odds-on success in small-filed Dundalk event. However, he ran poorly faced with firmer ground than previously in Chester Cup just over 6 weeks ago so that tempers enthusiasm. Irish Cesarewitch winner but had one of his off days in last month's Chester Cup.
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (350/1 -250%) Maxident	350 350/1(-250%)	(10) Maxident 350/1, Heavy-ground novice winner at Leicester last spring and underlined how well he copes with testing ground when second in 2¼m Pontefract handicap on reappearance. Another good effort when third at Goodwood next time, but not at his best on a sounder surface most recently. There's nothing in his form to suggest he can compete on these terms.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (450/1 -5525%) Postileo	450 450/1(-5525%)	(5) Postileo 450/1, Smart performer for Roger Varian last year and following a couple of underwhelming efforts over hurdles, took a step back in the right direction when 9 lengths fourth of 7 to Kyprios in listed race at Navan (14f, good to soft) 8 weeks ago. Cheekpieces back on and hiked up in trip. Four-time winner for Roger Varian with some class about him; encouraging prep race.

Dawn Rising won this last year for Joseph O'Brien and is back for more, but he has raced five times since without success. Ryan Moore was aboard the son of Galileo 12 months ago but switches to QUEENSTOWN for Aidan O'Brien and, if the younger gelding stays the trip, his one-length second to Kyprios at Leopardstown last month gives him the edge at these weights with every chance there is more to come. Uxmal has to be taken seriously, as does Fasol, a rare runner on the Flat for top NH trainer Paul Nicholls.

The traditional Royal Ascot finale is run over the longest distance in the Flat calendar and it's TASHKHAN who gets the nod to come out on top provided he's ready to roll on return. The main threat may emerge from Queenstown, who has taken his form up a level this season and is Aidan O'Brien's sole representative, while last year's first and third in this Dawn Rising and Run For Oscar can do battle for minor honours in what is a truly unique test.

Last year's first and third - Dawn Rising and Run For Oscar - are feared but POSTILEO is a very viable alternative.

5	5 (5) (20/1 +0%) Silent Words	20 20/1(+0%)	(5) Silent Words 20/1, Fairly useful filly. 8¼ lengths seventh of 8 to Jabaara in listed race (50/1) at Musselburgh (7.1f, good) 21 days ago. Back down in trip and blinkers on 1st time. Listed-placed last year (6f, soft) but not fired yet this season; now tried in blinkers.
2	2 (2) (40/1 +0%) Conservationist	40 40/1(+0%)	(2) Conservationist 40/1, Fairly useful filly. 50/1, good sixth of 11 in handicap at York (6f, good to soft) 8 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Mountain to climb on these terms. Showed good speed over 6f at York last week; now down to 5f; uphill task at the weights.
1	7 1st (7) (Evens +39%) Beautiful Diamond	0 Evens(+39%)	(7) Beautiful Diamond Evens, Useful filly. C&D winner. Bit below form 3½ lengths fifth of 9 to Kerdos in Temple Stakes (4/1) at Haydock (5f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Huge chance back down in class. C&D win at two; two sound efforts in better races this year; penalised but a major player.
1	1 1st (1) (15/2 -329%) Azure Blue	7.5 15/2(-329%)	(1) Azure Blue 15/2, Useful mare. Seven wins from 17 Flat runs. 7¼ lengths fifth of 6 to Electric Storm in listed race at Haydock (6f, soft, 13/8) 29 days ago. Will be a danger to all if able to bounce back to something like her best. Group 2 winner; not yet at best in 2024 and tries a new trip but still a leading contender.
3	6 3rd (6) (33/1 -136%) So Majestic	33 33/1(-136%)	(6) So Majestic 33/1, Useful filly. 10¼ lengths eighth of 9 to Clarendon House in listed race at Cork (5f, good, 25/1) 8 days ago, possibly amiss. Close third at Naas on penultimate start and place possibilities if able to repeat that. Bulk of form gives her little chance but excelled herself in a Naas Listed race last month.
4	4 4th (4) (25/1 -355%) Pepsi Cat	25 25/1(-355%)	(4) Pepsi Cat 25/1, Useful mare. 3 wins from 6 runs this year. 10/3, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) 34 days ago, readily. More on her plate now but she's not without an each-way chance. Progressive sprinter who faces her optimum conditions; each-way claims at least.
5th	9 5th (9) (14/1 -87%) Graceful Thunder	14 14/1(-87%)	(9) Graceful Thunder 14/1, Useful filly. 26/10 and hooded for 1st time, below form fifth of 12 in minor event at Chantilly (5.5f, heavy). Off 96 days. Claims if fully tuned-up. Three 2yo wins, incl Listed; fair run on return in March; yard flying; slower ground ideal.
6th	3 6th (3) (100/1 -300%) Origintrail	100 100/1(-300%)	(3) Origintrail 100/1, Fairly useful mare. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Creditable third of 7 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm, 7/2) 34 days ago. Faces a stiff task up in class here. Placed in two 6f handicaps this spring; stiff task at this level and slower ground suits.
7th	8 7th (8) (100/1 -203%) Gaenari	100 100/1(-203%)	(8) Gaenari 100/1, Fairly useful filly. Below form fourth of 18 in maiden at the Curragh (6.3f, good to firm, 5/1) 17 days ago. Back down in trip and cheekpieces on for 1st time. Very hard to fancy in this company. Twice Listed-placed as a 2yo; less good this year and now 0-12; cheekpieces now added.

Group 2 winner AZURE BLUE was a disappointing favourite in a Listed contest at Haydock last month, but she can be forgiven for that effort as conditions possibly weren't in her favour. Michael Dods' mare is a class act on her day and she could prove very hard to beat on this quicker surface, with her main threat possibly being Beautiful Diamond. The daughter of Twilight Son finished fifth in the Temple Stakes at Haydock last time and has to be respected. Graceful Thunder may pick up the pieces of the remainder.

BEAUTIFUL DIAMOND came up short in the Temple Stakes but she should prove hard to beat back down in class and returned to the scene of her success in the Rosebery here last September. Azure Blue is the clear main danger, for all that she has a fair bit to prove following a couple of low-key efforts, while Pepsi Cat is third choice ahead of Graceful Thunder.

Azure Blue and Pepsi Cat are high on the list but this is a drop in class for BEAUTIFUL DIAMOND (nap) and she can capitalise.

Should benefit from the drop back in trip, so likely to be back on his game. 0-8 but he's well handicapped on best form and could go well back at this trip.
2	3 2nd (3) (14/1 -250%) Hill Station	14 14/1(-250%)	(3) Hill Station 14/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in April. 15/2, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 18 days ago. All four wins have been on AW and he has questions to answer back in this sphere.

4	8 4th (8) (7/1 -75%) Pledge Of Honour	7 7/1(-75%)	(8) Pledge Of Honour 7/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 10/1, creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, good) 17 days ago, left with too much to do. Not discounted. Promising reappearance run at Nottingham and he could be dangerous back up in trip.
5th	5 5th (5) (200/1 -900%) Grigio	200 200/1(-900%)	(5) Grigio 200/1, Winner at Kempton in February. Seventh of 10 in handicap at Nottingham (14f, good, 20/1) 20 days ago. Must improve. 1m4f AW winner but he still has something to prove on turf and others are more convincing.
6th	6 6th (6) (40/1 -700%) Major Major	40 40/1(-700%)	(6) Major Major 40/1, C&D winner. 6/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) 12 days ago.

8th	2 8th (2) (400/1 -3233%) Forge Valley Lad	400 400/1(-3233%)	(2) Forge Valley Lad 400/1, 9/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW), unable to sustain effort. Off 124 days. Likely to strip fitter for this. No joy during the winter and has something to prove back on turf after a break.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

FORGE VALLEY LAD is on a tempting mark judged on the pick of his all-weather form here. David Simcock's charge hasn't shown the same form as last year, but this return 1m4f and switch to turf might just suit. Gallimimus performed with credit when second over 1m4f at Brighton earlier this month and he isn't ruled out, while Hill Station is also worthy of consideration.

GALLIMIMUS reacted well to blinkers when second at Brighton last time and he's well treated on the form he showed for George Boughey, so he takes preference over Major Major, who is becoming well treated. Story Horse is also a player back down in trip.

Top of the list is GALLIMIMUS, who returned to form with a front-running second at Brighton and is a big player if he can back that up.

After a couple of lesser efforts, returned to form when fifth of 11 at York (6f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Enters calculations back down in grade. Latest win came in 5f Thirsk handicap in May; creditable run at York last week; claims.
4	7 4th (7) (5/1 +0%) Profitable Edge	5 5/1(+0%)	(7) Profitable Edge 5/1, Made a good start for new yard last summer, making all at Ripon in August. Below form on final 2 starts last year, but after 8 months off she returned at her best when scoring at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Another bold bid could be on the cards.

Remains 2 lb above her last winning mark but she can give her running once more. No win since 2022 but her two runs this year have been creditable.
6th	4 6th (4) (66/1 -1220%) Thunder Star	66 66/1(-1220%)	(4) Thunder Star 66/1, Showed improved form in handicaps in 2023, winning 3 times with her latest success at Yarmouth (5.2f) in September. Has been going the right way with each start this season, clear of the rest when runner-up at this C&D (good) 16 days ago. Respected. Good second over C&D latest and can play a prominent role again.
7th	3 7th (3) (66/1 -1786%) Lil Guff	66 66/1(-1786%)	(3) Lil Guff 66/1, It's been a while since her last win, but got back on track this season when third at Sandown (5f, good to firm) 8 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. She's now 6 lb below her last winning mark so could be ready to take advantage, On a good mark and last week's Sandown third was quite encouraging; considered.

However, not in the same form when well held at Ripon (6f, good to firm) on her latest outing. Capable if on a going day. On a handy mark but latest Ripon run was poor.

Ran well on return last season and she can give another good account. Won at Sandown (5f) last September but peak fitness has to be taken on trust after layoff.

PROFITABLE EDGE ran well throughout last season and having made a winning reappearance at Thirsk recently, the four-year-old can repeat the feat, despite the imposition of a 6lb higher mark. Lil Guff (fifth) and Thunder Star (fourth) are closely matched based on their encounter at Ascot last month but, armed with a 4lb pull in the weights, the former rates the chief threat to the selection. The returning Dolly Gray also enters calculations.

LIL GUFF produced her best effort of the season so far when third at Sandown 8 days ago, doing well having raced up with the pace, so she is taken to build on that effort to return to winning ways. The main danger could be Thunder Star, who bumped into an improver at this C&D on her latest outing, ahead of Star of Lady M.

There was enough in LIL GUFF's latest Sandown third to think she might be ready to take advantage of her reduced mark.

5th	5 5th (5) (17/2 -143%) Cavalier Approach	8.5 17/2(-143%)	(5) Cavalier Approach 17/2, Fourth of 6 in handicap (13/8) at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) 48 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time and he will be a threat if the new headgear has the desired effect. Two wins on good to soft last summer; two fair runs this year; blinkers now reached for.
6th	7 6th (7) (6/1 -33%) B Associates	6 6/1(-33%)	(7) B Associates 6/1, Course winner. 20/1, improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, good) 12 days ago. Remains feasibly treated back up 4 lb and should make his presence felt. Played late at Carlisle 12 days ago (6f, good; form franked); contender despite 4lb rise.
7th	10 7th (10) (22/1 -57%) Havana Rose	22 22/1(-57%)	(10) Havana Rose 22/1, 20/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Opposable from a win perspective. 6f novice winner for E Bethell as a 2yo; form for new yard is okay but more is required.
8th	9 8th (9) (22/1 -57%) Ahamoment	22 22/1(-57%)	(9) Ahamoment 22/1, Course winner. Latest win at Newcastle in January. Eighth of 10 in handicap at Carlisle (6.9f, good to soft, 8/1) 12 days ago, not knocked about. Others preferred. Course winner (7f); struggled since returning to turf this spring.
9th	3 9th (3) (14/1 +30%) Zaman Jemil	14 14/1(+30%)	(3) Zaman Jemil 14/1, Eighteenth of 21 in handicap at York (6f, good, 100/1) 28 days ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere. Dropped 12lb in 4 runs for new yard; getting back on faster ground a plus; check betting.
10th	6 10th (6) (11/1 -38%) Black Friday	11 11/1(-38%)	(6) Black Friday 11/1, Three-time C&D winner. 10/3, fourth of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, soft) 24 days ago. Back down in trip and he's a very solid each-way candidate. Three-time C&D winner; in fair form over further this year; could do with some rain.

Despite being slowly away, CLASSY AL relished the drop to 5f when accounting for her nearest rival by three quarters of a length here last time. Jim Goldie's six-year-old only has a 4lb higher rating to contend with and he looks the one to beat. B Associates produced a bit of a shock when going in by a neck at Carlisle earlier in the month and he would be foolish to dismiss off 4lb higher, while Cavalier Approach is an interesting contender in first-time blinkers.

Down in the weights and eased in class, BE PROUD could be the way to go. He hasn't fired the last twice but shaped well on his first two starts of the campaign and is now 1 lb lower compared to when striking here towards the end of last season. Cavalier Approach and Black Friday may emerge as the main threats, for all that last-time-out winners B Associates and Classy Al will have their supporters.

Jim Goldie saddles two with good chances but their former stablemate B ASSOCIATES may have their measure today.

Hard to make any sort of case for. Missed last year and he's struggled in three runs (points/Flat) in 2024; no appeal.

Plenty to prove. Has struggled for current yard this year and needs a major turnaround after wind surgery.

Following a comfortable success over 1m4f at Leicester last time, THREE DONS appears likely to follow up. Tony Carroll's runner is in good form and Molly Gunn's 7lb claim is useful. Fellow last-time-out winner Thursday is also worthy of respect and she rates as the biggest danger to the selection, while Damoiseau should pick up the pieces should the aforementioned pair fail to fire.

THREE DONS stands out on form after his improved showing to win at Leicester a week ago and he's preferred to fellow last-time-out winner Thursday. Most of the others have something to prove but Damoiseau is likely to feature if he can back up his latest effort.

This could revolve around the recent winners in Three Dons and THURSDAY, with slight preference for Simon Dow's lightly raced 4yo.

Could yet do better upped in trip, though. The better of his two efforts came on debut last month when fourth over 6f at Chester.

Closely related to winner up to 1m Angel Down (2-y-o 6f winner) and half-brother to 3 winners, including 1½m winner Vampish and 1m/8.6f winner Hopeman Harbour. One to note. Would enter the reckoning if the betting speaks in his favour.

Open to improvement with this step up in trip likely to suit. Late headway for fifth on recent 6f Salisbury debut; should have more to come at 7f.

INTRUSIVELY chased home a promising type at Nottingham on his racecourse bow last week and is a highly appealing option stepping up in trip after a relatively quick turnaround. King Of Angels is another with a serious chance, especially given how well advertised his first run at Chester has become since. Slightly disappointing at the same venue last month, the Hugo Palmer-trained colt does need to up the ante now he goes a furlong further. Victory Sound and Canvas rate the pick of the rest.

This can go the way of INTRUSIVELY, who finished well clear of the rest when second at Nottingham on debut and is open to progress over this longer trip. Next best could be High On Hope, who has run to a fair level when placing on both of his starts so far, while King of Angels remains with potential given the promise of his first outing.

Ed Bethell's INTRUSIVELY sets the bar pretty high on the back of his recent 6f debut second.

SACRED FALLS hit the target over 6f at Carlisle on her penultimate start prior to shaping better than the bare result when finishing an excellent third in a higher grade at Hamilton last week, having to wait for room before running on strongly in the closing stages. Turned out quickly off an unchanged mark, Katie Scott's charge can make amends. The hat-trick seeking Lord Abama hasn't looked back since sporting blinkers the last twice and cannot be overlooked in a bid to defy a 4lb rise for a ready win at Thirsk recently. Handicap debutant Rainwater also enters calculations.

SACRED FALLS was a decisive winner in first-time cheekpieces at Carlisle last month and did well to finish as close as he did, all things considered, when third at Hamilton recently. He gets the nod ahead of the hat-trick seeking Lord Abama, who remains on a workable mark and won't go down without a fight. Rory is best of the rest.

Blinkers have turned things around for LORD ABAMA and he can complete his hat-trick. Sacred Falls can chase him home.

JANE GARFIELD has improved with each run and her most recent second at Chepstow reads very well in the context of this race. The daughter of James Garfield may only need to reproduce that effort in order to go one better. The main danger is Star Allure, who hit the frame over 6f at Redcar on debut and is likely to improve for this step up in trip. Any market support for newcomer Enchanted Way should be noted too.

Those with experience don't set the bar high so this has the look of a race which could go to a newcomer, with Ollie Sangster's GLAMIS ROAD preferred to Archie Watson's Enchanted Way before any betting clues are known. Make Love and Jane Garfield look best of those who have seen the track.

Not disgraced in a stronger race than this at Doncaster three weeks ago, MAKE LOVE ought to build on that performance here.

2	5 2nd (5) (5/1 -25%) Bodorgan	5 5/1(-25%)	(5) Bodorgan 5/1, Enjoyed the run of the race when winning at Windsor earlier this month and has the right man on board if similar front-running tactics are employed here, so has to be respected. Made all over this trip at Windsor (good to firm) 19 days ago; 3lb rise fair.
3	1 3rd (1) (12/1 -167%) To Catch A Thief	12 12/1(-167%)	(1) To Catch A Thief 12/1, Has posted respectable in-frame efforts on his last 2 starts but remains without a win on turf and might be playing for minor honours once again. Latest third in the Zetland Gold Cup at Redcar creditable; should be competitive again.
4	4 4th (4) (3/1 +14%) Strong Impact	3 3/1(+14%)	(4) Strong Impact 3/1, Winner at Epsom last October who went desperately close to opening her 2024 account at Hamilton under this claimer earlier this month, closing all the way to the line, and represents an in-form yard. Went close at Hamilton latest and ought to be in the shake-up again.
5th	6 5th (6) (100/1 -900%) Lady Of Arabia	100 100/1(-900%)	(6) Lady Of Arabia 100/1, C&D winner last summer who has been successful on 2 further occasions at Kempton since, though needs to rebound after a poor effort there last time. C&D winner last June; scored twice on AW at Kempton since then but latest run there poor.
6th	7 6th (7) (22/1 -214%) Savrola	22 22/1(-214%)	(7) Savrola 22/1, Fared best of those held up when fourth on his recent reappearance/stable debut at Ayr and can be expected to come on for that effort. Previous turf victory was at this venue and shouldn't be discounted. Promising start for new yard when fourth at Ayr (1m) 19 days ago; respected back at 1m2f.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

Lady Of Arabia is the only C&D winner in this field and warrants respect, but she was beaten 16 lengths at Kempton last month and may have to settle for a place. With the Roger Varian string in good form, unlucky Hamilton second Strong Impact looks a major player, but a chance is taken on TO CATCH A THIEF. Third in the Zetland Gold Cup on soft ground at Redcar, the Cracksman gelding should be happier on this surface for a yard that loves a winner here.

STRONG IMPACT was only narrowly denied a first handicap success at Hamilton last time and can go one better here, though she won't have things her all own way with the likes of Dora Milaje and Savrola also likely to make their presence felt.

Although unable to live with an improved winner DORA MILAJE (nap) saw off 12 others quite comfortably at Wetherby and can go one better

7	7 (7) (20/1 -186%) Miss Calculation	20 20/1(-186%)	(7) Miss Calculation 20/1, Modest mare. 14/1, won 11-runner handicap at Catterick (7f, soft) 30 days ago. Shade more needed up 4 lb. Got up late to win a 7f handicap (soft) at Catterick last month; quicker ground the worry.

Down in trip. Record stands at 1-33, which tells a story. Has the ability to feature at this level but just 1-33; sharper for last month's return.

Needs to get back on track now equipped with first-time cheekpieces and tongue strap. Hasn't progressed from her debut but this is weak and new accessories could help.
3	2 3rd (2) (16/1 -256%) Coconut Bay	16 16/1(-256%)	(2) Coconut Bay 16/1, Modest mare. Won 12-runner handicap (12/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 40 days ago, driven out. 0-7 on turf but she has run well here in the past and remains on a good mark. Gained deserved success at Wolverhampton last month; 0-7 on turf but over further; chance.

8th	3 8th (3) (14/1 +44%) Darker	14 14/1(+44%)	(3) Darker 14/1, Modest gelding. Remains a maiden after 23 Flat runs. 8/1, below form eighth of 14 in minor event at Yarmouth (8f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Likely to come up short once again. Placed in 4 of his 7 runs this year but below par latest & he's an exposed 23-race maiden.
9th	1 9th (1) (100/1 -1900%) Moondial	100 100/1(-1900%)	(1) Moondial 100/1, Modest filly. Blinkered for 1st time, very good second of 9 in handicap (33/1) at Musselburgh (7.1f, good to firm) 9 days ago. One to consider. Blinkers helped when seond in a better race at Musselburgh nine days ago; shortlisted.
10th	9 10th (9) (100/1 -900%) Sadiqaa	100 100/1(-900%)	(9) Sadiqaa 100/1, Modest gelding. Two wins from 42 Flat runs. Thirty one runs since last win in 2021. Bit below form seventh of 13 in handicap at Down Royal (7f, good, 6/1) 1 day ago. Others more persuasive. Winless since September 2021; near miss over 5.5f last month; runs Down Royal 8.10 Friday.

Sixth of 10 in handicap (10/1) at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) 6 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Plenty to find on form. No better on recent handicap debut despite being nibbled in betting; inexperienced rider.

In a trappy affair, the most solid proposition appears to be COCONUT BAY. Tristan Davidson's charge showed a likeable attitude when scoring over 7f in handicap company at Wolverhampton last month and another prominent showing looks imminent. Miss Calculation sprung something of a surprise when winning over this trip at Catterick recently, and she is entitled to go well again. Haalim was too keen for his own good when finishing down the field over an extended mile at Wolverhampton latest, but can give a better account back in distance.

A 2 lb rise for COCONUT BAY's Wolverhampton success looks very fair indeed and she is taken to strike again, perhaps at the chief expense of Moondial and Big Blue Boy.

Moondial ran well in a stronger race nine days ago but COCONUT BAY is preferred now tackling 7f for the first time on grass.

SHIBUYA STORM outran her huge odds when finishing third on her debut at Yarmouth earlier in the month and she would have learned a great deal from that experience. With normal improvement, she ought to go close. Sense Of Spirit showed plenty of speed when attempting to make all over 7f at Catterick on her first start and this drop in trip looks a good move. Flying Star rates best of the rest.

SENSE OF SPIRIT made a promising start when fourth at Catterick so looks the way to go with progress very much on the cards. Yarmouth debut third Shibuya Storm is fancied to chase home Kevin Ryan's filly ahead of Flying Star.

Kevin Ryan's filly SENSE OF SPIRIT set a pretty honest pace over 7f on her recent debut and may be able to dominate here.

Gelded prior to his return but showed nothing on first outing since leaving Charlie Johnston back there (7f, good) in April and can only be watched now hiked up in trip. Has totally failed to build on his 6f win; enough to prove.

Met plenty of trouble when finishing down the field at Nottingham (10.2f, good) last time but she was keen enough and it's doubtful whether she'd have got home. Better than bare result last time; has shown steady progress otherwise; still of interest.
3	2 3rd (2) (9/4 +18%) Straight A	2.25 9/4(+18%)	(2) Straight A 9/4, Won at Yarmouth on his second start. Gelded ahead of return, ran creditably when fourth of 13 in handicap at Doncaster on return but failed to meet expectations having been well backed at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm) last time. Worth another chance. Disappointing over 1m2f last time; his 1m efforts had suggested this trip will suit.
4	1 4th (1) (9/2 -100%) Blue Collar	4.5 9/2(-100%)	(1) Blue Collar 9/2, Had first-time blinkers on and stepped up plenty on his reappearance when second of 13 in handicap at Goodwood (9.9f, good) 8 days ago, confirming his stamina for the trip. Nudged up 2 lb but every chance he can go one better. Ran well in first-time blinkers at Goodwood last week; possibilities in retained headgear.

Mark continues to ease but others make more appeal. Easing in weights and may still have a bigger handicap effort in him.
6th	3 6th (3) (100/1 -3233%) Middlesex	100 100/1(-3233%)	(3) Middlesex 100/1, Got close to the form she showed at 2 yrs without suggesting there's much more to come when third of 10 in maiden at Lingfield (9f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Upped slightly in trip here and more needed heading into handicaps. Largely consistent maiden who holds solid claims on handicap debut; new trip should suit.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

A small field may see this turn tactical and if that is the case, Middlesex may be able to take them along from the start and can set her own pace. She won't be easy to catch but BLUE COLLAR travelled well at Goodwood before being sent to the front, only to be overhauled late on, and if he is held up longer, he could go one better. Carpathian and Straight A may fight it out for third.

BLUE COLLAR put up a career-best effort in first-blinkers when finishing runner-up at Goodwood last week and he's fancied to go a place better here at the expense of Straight A, who was very well backed when failing to meet expectations at Beverley last month but is worth another chance. Middlesex can fill out third.

With the blinkers retained, BLUE COLLAR could well build on his Goodwood effort. Middlesex is second choice.

RUN JOY RUN started off the year in really good form on the all-weather, springing a surprise at Kempton and ending a sequence of four good handicap performances with a third on the Polytrack here. She has been freshened up and needs to transfer that ability to turf but, if she does, she will be hard to beat. Forgotten Treasure has been edging closer to that elusive first success and reappears less than a week after a narrow Doncaster defeat. Brinton is also capable of making an impact.

FORGOTTEN TREASURE deserves extra credit for her good recent Doncaster second given she forfeited ground at the start and William Knight's filly can gain a deserved maiden success here. Another Jack appeals as the one to chase her home with this step back up in trip a plus ahead of the returning Run Joy Run.

This looks good for FORGOTTEN TREASURE (nap), who ran well in defeat when upped to 7f for a recent Doncaster handicap.

Siam Fox has won over this trip three times, including last time out at Windsor when bursting back into life. He can mount another challenge but a chance is taken on TROPEZ POWER, who ran on well for third at Beverley off 1lb higher and steps back up to a mile, with Joe Leavy claiming a useful 5lb. Evocative Spark and Hat Toss both have recent placed form and might prove best of the rest.

HAT TOSS has been running well in recent weeks and can take advantage of some leniency by the handicapper to get his head in front for the first time this season. Tropez Power and Evocative Spark also arrive on the back of good placed efforts and are others to consider in a competitive-looking finale.

The vote goes to HAT TOSS, who has solid turf form for his new yard. Tropez Power is second choice.

Arlecchino's Gift has been on the go for quite some time, but showed no signs of it catching up with him when successful over C&D. San Francisco Bay, another previous track-and-trip winner, is worth considering, while little separated So Sleepy and Lahina Bay at Goodwood.

SAN FRANCISCO BAY has cheekpieces back on for the first time since his win here last summer and might be able to get his head back in front. Five Winds is second choice ahead of Lahina Bay, who has returned to the mark she defied at Salisbury in September.

The vote goes to FIVE WINDS, who is unexposed on turf and found plenty of improvement with her emphatic win at Yarmouth ten days ago.
