13:35 Newcastle Handicap (Class 4) 12f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (14/1 +30%) Alumnus	14 14/1(+30%)	(5) Alumnus 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 18/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, sixth of 7 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, soft) 59 days ago, clear signs of temperament. Visor on 1st time. Runner-up in both starts here but ran poorly last time and has enough to prove; visor on.
2	6 2nd (6) (6.5/1 +19%) Military Tycoon	6.5 6.5/1(+19%)	(6) Military Tycoon 6.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Goodwood (9.9f, heavy, 9/1) 54 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Up in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Trip should suit on breeding but he does need to resume progress; cheekpieces on.
3	1 3rd (1) (1.5/1 -9%) Maso Bastie	1.5 1.5/1(-9%)	(1) Maso Bastie 1.5/1, Promising individual. Defied penalty to win 7-runner novice event (7/2) at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy) on return 58 days ago, finding extra. Up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Has to be taken seriously. Narrow winner of novices last two starts; shaped last time as though 1m4f would suit.
4	7 4th (7) (11/1 +31%) Dancing Cloud	11 11/1(+31%)	(7) Dancing Cloud 11/1, Thrice-raced maiden. First run since leaving Joseph Patrick O'Brien when third of 5 in novice (9/1) at this course (7.1f) 58 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Up in distance on handicap debut. Bred for middle distances but does need to take a step forward on handicap debut.
5th	3 5th (3) (3/1 +10%) True Legend	3 3/1(+10%)	(3) True Legend 3/1, C&D winner. 2 wins from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Salisbury in May. 15/8, sixth of 8 in handicap at Doncaster (14.5f, good to firm) 26 days ago, unable to sustain effort after a slow start. This is easier and he's one to note. C&D winner who found 14.5f too far in his hat-trick bid; dangerous to dismiss him.
6th	2 6th (2) (6.5/1 +46%) Oh So Charming	6.5 6.5/1(+46%)	(2) Oh So Charming 6.5/1, Thrice-raced winner. 8/11, third of 6 in novice event at Thirsk (8f, heavy) on return 49 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Remains unexposed. Steps up 4f for handicap/AW debut but there is some stamina on the dam's side; unexposed.
7th	4 7th (4) (10/1 -100%) Nobody Told Me	10 10/1(-100%)	(4) Nobody Told Me 10/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Winner at Doncaster in April. Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Chester (12.3f, heavy, 10/3) 49 days ago. Won well at Doncaster in April but held at Chester last time; bit to prove back on Tapeta.

LTO Selection:

MASO BASTIE has an attractive, progressive profile and made a highly encouraging return to action over 1m2f at Nottingham, gamely edging out subsequent Britannia fifth Tempered Soul. There is every chance that he will improve again for this extra distance and a bold bid looks assured first time in handicap company. True Legend drops in both trip and class after disappointing at Doncaster and much better is expected, while Oh So Charming cannot be ruled out either.

MASO BASTIE showed useful form when defying a penalty at Nottingham on his return and an opening mark of 87 may underestimate him, especially with further progress on the cards. True Legend never looked like completing the hat-trick at Doncaster but that was a better race than this so he can be expected to make much more of an impact here, with the unexposed Oh So Charming best of the others.

Preference is for MASO BASTIE who makes his handicap debut after narrowly winning his last two novices. There is more to come from him.

13:50 Nottingham Maiden (Class 5) 6f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	10 1st (10) (16/1 -33%) Granny Budgie	16 16/1(-33%)	(10) Granny Budgie 16/1, £18,000 Massaat filly. Dam, 9.5f winner, half-sister to useful winning sprinter Caledonia Lady. Newcomer to note in the betting. £18,000 yearling; yard also runs Vice Captain and market should be informative.
2	8 2nd (8) (14/1 -65%) Vice Captain	14 14/1(-65%)	(8) Vice Captain 14/1, Twice-raced gelding. Stepped up on debut when fourth of 9 in maiden (15/2) at Chelmsford (6f) 21 days ago. More needed here in all probability. Promising fourth at Chelmsford but he needs more progress back on turf.
3	16 3rd (16) (8.5/1 -21%) Via Electriano	8.5 8.5/1(-21%)	(16) Via Electriano 8.5/1, Twice-raced filly. Close second on AW debut but not in anything like the same fourth when only fourth of 6 on turf at Brighton since. Went very close at Kempton on debut and had an excuse at Brighton latest; key player.
4	7 4th (7) (8/1 +0%) The Good Biscuit	8 8/1(+0%)	(7) The Good Biscuit 8/1, 11/1, seventh of 13 in maiden at Carlisle (6f, soft) on debut 10 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Likely to improve. Faded into a well-held seventh at Carlislie (6f) ten days ago with an RPR of 47.
5th	6 5th (6) (14/1 +30%) Pinjarra	14 14/1(+30%)	(6) Pinjarra 14/1, €7,000 Estidhkaar colt. Brother to winner up to 7f Sadiqaa, closely related to 10.6f winner Ceniza and half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 2-y-o 6f winner Roossey. Yard has good strike-rate with 2yos this term and he needs watching in market.
6th	2 6th (2) (9/1 -29%) Coin Power	9 9/1(-29%)	(2) Coin Power 9/1, 18/1, sixth of 13 in maiden at Carlisle (6f, soft) on debut 10 days ago, not knocked about. Likely to improve. Never involved at Carlisle and he needs plenty of progress on his second start.
7th	12 7th (12) (3.33/1 +33%) Lincoln Royal	3.33 3.33/1(+33%)	(12) Lincoln Royal 3.33/1, Promising individual. Third of 5 in novice at Hamilton (6f, good to firm, 33/1) on debut 21 days ago, keeping on as she got hang of things. Should progress. Made promising start at Hamilton and she's an interesting contender.
8th	9 8th (9) (150/1 -50%) Elegant Elloise	150 150/1(-50%)	(9) Elegant Elloise 150/1, Twice-raced filly. Last of 12 in novice (150/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 10 days ago. Has struggled in two 6f runs on Polytrack this month with a best RPR of only 21.
9th	1 9th (1) (50/1 +24%) Chris's Mate	50 50/1(+24%)	(1) Chris's Mate 50/1, 25/1, tenth of 13 in maiden at Leicester (7f, good to firm) on debut 12 days ago. Needs to have come on a lot. 25-1 and finished a remote tenth at Leicester (7f, good to firm) on recent debut.
10th	13 10th (13) (22/1 +33%) Midnight Margarita	22 22/1(+33%)	(13) Midnight Margarita 22/1, 7,000 gns 2-y-o purchase by Masar. Closely related to useful 1m-1¼m winner Shargiah and half-sister to several winners, including very smart winner up to 9f Ransom Note. Dam unraced. Has a striking pedigree and she needs checking in market on debut.
11th	3 11th (3) (9/1 +55%) Mc Loven	9 9/1(+55%)	(3) Mc Loven 9/1, Harry Angel colt. Dam, 2-y-o 6f winner, half-sister to very smart 1m/8.3f winner Blair House. One to note in the betting on debut. Some appeal on pedigree but yard has not really got going with 2yos so far this season.
12th	4 12th (4) (12/1 +25%) Midnight Force	12 12/1(+25%)	(4) Midnight Force 12/1, 15,000 gns 2-y-o. Land Force half-brother to useful 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Fly On The Night and 1¼m winner Harbour Dance. Betting should help guide to expectations. Well-related colt and market should guide on debut.
13th	5 13th (5) (4.5/1 +36%) Never Simple	4.5 4.5/1(+36%)	(5) Never Simple 4.5/1, 18,000 gns 2-y-o. Dam, 2-y-o 5f winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 7f Royal Pleasure. This son of Kodiac has an eyecatching jockey booking. The betting should reveal more. Yard 2-6 with 2yos this season and needs a close look with Oisin Murphy booked on debut.
14th	15 14th (15) (12/1 -20%) Santa Rosalia	12 12/1(-20%)	(15) Santa Rosalia 12/1, 7,000 gns Cappella Sansevero filly. Dam unraced half-sister to 7f/1m winner Diamondonthehill. Likely type with Tom Marquand up. Yard has had a 2yo winner recently and she's one to keep an eye on.

LTO Selection:

Of the newcomers, markets checks are required for Midnight Force, Pinjarra and Mc Loven as the standard set by those with experience is not too daunting. The best piece of form on offer is the debut effort of Via Electriano, so if she can bounce back to that level then she will be a major player. Slight preference is for ROYAL EXPERT, who shaped with a fair degree of promise when beaten half a length at Chelmsford on debut and any improvement on that will make him an obvious contender.

There was promise from ROYAL EXPERT when a close third on her debut and the runner-up has boosted the form by winning since so she's the suggestion. Lincoln Royal and Coin Power also showed clear ability on their first visits to the racecourse and should be in the mix if making the anticipated improvement. Santa Rosalia and Never Simple are 2 of many newcomers who need keeping an eye on in the betting.

It might be worth giving another chance to VIA ELECTRIANO, who had an excuse at Brighton and sets the standard on her debut form.

14:00 Newmarket Stakes (Class 4) 6f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (4/1 -100%) Empire Of Light	4 4/1(-100%)	(2) Empire Of Light 4/1, 52,000 gns yearling, Kodiac colt. Brother to useful 6f-7f winner Breaking Records and smart 2-y-o 6f and winner Kessaar. Dam unraced. Fifth of 9 in novice event (17/2) at Bath (5.7f, firm) on debut 20 days ago. Should progress. Soundly beaten on debut at Bath but he has a useful pedigree and can improve.
2	5 2nd (5) (1/1 +43%) Cheeky Blimey	1 1/1(+43%)	(5) Cheeky Blimey 1/1, €18,000 foal, 24,000 gns yearling, Ribchester colt. Half-brother to 7f/1m winner Donn Clifs and winner up to 1m Thunderey. Dam unraced half-sister to very smart winner up to 1¼m Dux Scholar. 11/1, fourth of 15 in maiden at Leicester (6f, good) on debut 23 days ago. Can do better and strong claims. Fourth of 15 on debut at Leicester and that's the best form in this field.
3	6 3rd (6) (28/1 -180%) Magnificent Match	28 28/1(-180%)	(6) Magnificent Match 28/1, €11,000 yearling, 30,000 gns 2-y-o, Goken colt. Dam French 2-y-o 1m winner. 250/1, 22¼ lengths twenty second of 23 to Big Evs in listed Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) on debut 8 days ago. Well beaten on last week's debut at Royal Ascot; far more realistic opportunity here.
4	4 4th (4) (5/1 +0%) Skilled Master	5 5/1(+0%)	(4) Skilled Master 5/1, 37,000 gns foal, 55,000 gns yearling. Expert Eye colt. Half-brother to winners abroad by Exceed And Excel and Golden Horn. Dam winner up to 1m (2-y-o 7f winner). Fourth of 12 in maiden at Chelmsford City (6f, 17/2) on debut 7 days ago, very green. May well do better. Kept on for fourth at Chelmsford on debut and could be sharper for that run; not ruled out.
5th	1 5th (1) (22/1 +12%) Conde	22 22/1(+12%)	(1) Conde 22/1, Once-raced maiden. 22/1, ninth of 10 in maiden at Leicester (6f, good) on debut 30 days ago, slowly away. Dam from good family but he was beaten a long way at 22-1 on his debut at Leicester.
7th	9 7th (9) (11/1 +73%) Nouveaux	11 11/1(+73%)	(9) Nouveaux 11/1, Foaled March 22. 8,000 gns foal, 7,000 gns yearling, Tasleet filly. Dam ran twice. Likely to improve for this first outing but yard going well; no surprise to see a good run.

LTO Selection:

CHEEKY BLIMEY wasn't beaten far into fourth at Leicester on debut and it wouldn't take a great deal of improvement for him to get his head in front here. Marco Botti's colt is likely to know more for the experience and this looks like a good opportunity to shed his maiden tag. Skilled Master and Empire Of Light appear to be the biggest dangers after also running with promise first time out.

CHEEKY BLIMEY showed ability when fourth of 15 at Leicester on debut and is the clear pick on form in what looks a weak novice for the track. George Scott has saddled 3 winning 2-y-o newcomers this season so Cracksman-gelding Octet may emerge as the biggest threat.

Empire Of Light is open to improvement on his second start but CHEEKY BLIMEY sets the standard after his fourth of 15 at Leicester.

14:10 Newcastle Maiden (Class 5) 7f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (0.4/1 +35%) Chic Colombine	0.4 0.4/1(+35%)	(5) Chic Colombine 0.4/1, Ran to a similar level as on debut when second of 13 in maiden at Leicester (7f, good to firm, 6/5) 12 days ago, proving vulnerable late on to a strong finisher having found herself in front some way from home. This looks a good opportunity to go a place better. Beaten favourite in both starts on turf, albeit placed; the one to beat.
2	6 2nd (6) (80/1 -220%) Kaaress	80 80/1(-220%)	(6) Kaaress 80/1, 66/1, showed a bit more than on debut after 7 weeks off when seventh of 14 in seller at York (6f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Seventh in both starts on turf; plenty to find.
3	3 3rd (3) (7.5/1 +12%) Rich Harry	7.5 7.5/1(+12%)	(3) Rich Harry 7.5/1, Foaled March 4. $23,000 yearling, Union Rags colt. Half-brother to several winners, including US Grade 1 8.5f winner Power Broker and US 1m winner Fierce Boots. Dam US 5f/6f (minor stakes) winner. Appealing pedigree and stable having a fine time with 2yos this season; market revealing.
4	2 4th (2) (5.5/1 -10%) Night Safari	5.5 5.5/1(-10%)	(2) Night Safari 5.5/1, 12/1, showed more than first time up despite still being rough around the edges when fourth of 9 in minor event at Carlisle (5.8f, good to soft) 4 weeks ago. Upped in trip for his AW debut. Fourth in both starts on turf; two of his three winning siblings were successful on the AW.
5th	4 5th (4) (16/1 +27%) Royal Hussar	16 16/1(+27%)	(4) Royal Hussar 16/1, Hopelessly green when ninth of 13 in maiden (16/1) at Leicester (7f, good to firm) on debut 12 days ago, slowly away. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Well held on Leicester debut and improvement needed; cheekpieces go on.
6th	7 6th (7) (25/1 -39%) Miss Rainbow	25 25/1(-39%)	(7) Miss Rainbow 25/1, Thrice-raced filly. Third of 9 in maiden at Redcar (6f, good to soft, 33/1) 38 days ago. Third at Redcar last time but still well behind the winner; improvement needed.
7th	1 7th (1) (22/1 -214%) Chatty	22 22/1(-214%)	(1) Chatty 22/1, Left debut form well behind under a positive ride when third of 8 in minor event at Beverley (7.4f, soft, 40/1) 9 days ago, headed last ½f having made most. Makes AW debut. Improved from debut when beaten under a length into third at Beverley last time; claims.

LTO Selection:

CHIC COLOMBINE built on her pleasing debut performance when runner-up at Leicester and with further improvement possible, she could make it third-time lucky. Night Safari wasn't disgraced behind subsequent Albany seventh Dawn Charger at Carlisle and he will almost certainly improve for this extra furlong. Alice Haynes' juveniles have been flying this season so any market support for US-bred newcomer Rich Harry could be worth noting.

CHIC COLOMBINE took a small step forward from her debut when finishing runner-up at Leicester 12 days ago and, with further progress in the pipeline, George Boughey's filly is fancied to make it third time lucky. Night Safari still looked rough around the edges at Carlisle 4 weeks ago and he may well emerge as the main danger, ahead of Chatty. Market support for newcomer Rich Harry would put a slightly different slant on things.

The choice is CHIC COLOMBINE who has been a beaten short-priced favourite on turf in her first two starts but still has the best form.

14:25 Nottingham Handicap (Class 4) 6f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (1.1/1 +12%) Winter Crown	1.1 1.1/1(+12%)	(7) Winter Crown 1.1/1, Winner at Newcastle in February. Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm, 11/2) 18 days ago, finishing to good effect. Return to 6f should suit. Major player. Didn't get much luck at Beverley last time and he looks interesting back up in trip.
2	2 2nd (2) (8/1 +50%) Roundhay Park	8 8/1(+50%)	(2) Roundhay Park 8/1, Latest win at Catterick in April. 50/1, below form eighth of 15 in handicap at York (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Bounce back needed. Has been disappointing since his Catterick win in April and he ideally wants rain.
3	8 3rd (8) (9/1 +68%) Shark Two One	9 9/1(+68%)	(8) Shark Two One 9/1, Twenty two runs since last win in 2020. 7/2, creditable third over C&D (heavy) 48 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Fair efforts last twice but his losing run is up to 22 and he looks vulnerable again.
4	1 4th (1) (3.5/1 +65%) Ascot Adventure	3.5 3.5/1(+65%)	(1) Ascot Adventure 3.5/1, 9/2, below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, soft) 9 days ago. First-time cheekpieces need to have a positive effect now dropping back to 6f. On dangerous mark but he's not easy to predict and comes with risks attached back in trip.
5th	3 5th (3) (12/1 -20%) Ibiza Love	12 12/1(-20%)	(3) Ibiza Love 12/1, Fair winner at 2 for Hugo Palmer. Joined a good stable ahead of this first outing for 9 months. She could go well, particularly if the betting vibes are strong. Still lightly raced but has something to prove on her return for new yard.
6th	4 6th (4) (6.5/1 +64%) Seven Brothers	6.5 6.5/1(+64%)	(4) Seven Brothers 6.5/1, No impact in 3 outings this season. Given a chance by the handicapper as a result but can only watch. Out of sorts in all three runs this season and he needs to turn things around.

LTO Selection:

SNUGGLE is improving with each run and looks to be on a very attractive mark at present, having won in novice company at Windsor when last seen in May. The main question mark with the selection will be the ground, as his better efforts have come with some cut. Winter Crown continues to shape like his turn is close and he will be dangerous if the gaps appear. Although Seven Brothers has been badly out of form of late, he has dropped to a very dangerous mark and any market support would need noting.

Perhaps best to focus on the 3-y-os. WINTER CROWN caught the eye in a competitive Sky Bet Sunday Series race at Beverley last time and can come good with the return to 6f in his favour. Snuggle went close in a handicap prior to getting off the mark in a novice last time and is feared most ahead of Ibiza Love, who reappears for new trainer Alice Haynes.

Snuggle is respected but WINTER CROWN (nap) didn't get much luck at Beverley and looks interesting back up in trip.

14:35 Newmarket Handicap (Class 5) 12f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (3.2/1 +29%) Reina Del Mar	3.2 3.2/1(+29%)	(1) Reina Del Mar 3.2/1, Not far off useful at 3 yrs and has shaped as if needing the run both starts this term having missed all of 2022. Not taken lightly off career-low mark. Below best on both runs following long absence but continues to drop down the weights.
2	2 2nd (2) (5.5/1 -38%) Dashing Panther	5.5 5.5/1(-38%)	(2) Dashing Panther 5.5/1, Well beaten in novices/maiden but showed much improved form to get off the mark at 33/1 on handicap debut at Newbury (12f, good) just under 6 weeks ago, leading 2f out and just holding on narrowly. Up 5 lb and will need to take another step forward. Won over 1m4f in a big field at Newbury on handicap debut and could continue to progress.
3	9 3rd (9) (4/1 -33%) Whatacracker	4 4/1(-33%)	(9) Whatacracker 4/1, Bred to be suited by longer distances and duly took a step forward when runner-up at Ayr (10f, firm) just over a fortnight ago, just no match for a thriving rival. Sound each-way claims upped further in distance. Second to well-handicapped winner over 1m2f at Ayr, and 1m4f promises to be a positive.
4	5 4th (5) (6/1 -9%) Sea Master	6 6/1(-9%)	(5) Sea Master 6/1, Had been gelded/had wind op and finished well held on return but took a step back in the right direction when sixth at Doncaster (11.9f, good to firm) earlier this month, though quickly put in his place once the tempo lifted. More required. Hasn't shone in first two h'caps but stable's horses can bounce back from out of the blue.
5th	6 5th (6) (4/1 +0%) Allo Al Khawaneej	4 4/1(+0%)	(6) Allo Al Khawaneej 4/1, Related to numerous winners and looks to be being brought along gradually, unable to justify very strong support when down the field at Thirsk (12f, good) just under 6 weeks ago. Cheekpieces applied for handicap debut and he's surely capable of better. Well-bred 3yo who is an interesting contender on handicap debut, especially if backed.
6th	8 6th (8) (5.5/1 +54%) Zivaniya	5.5 5.5/1(+54%)	(8) Zivaniya 5.5/1, Down the field in maidens/novice last year but made an encouraging enough start to life in handicaps when fifth at Wetherby (10f, good to firm) earlier this month. Step forward needed to feature, though. No threat on his four starts but has shaped as though this step up to 1m4f could suit.
7th	4 7th (4) (22/1 -83%) Conservative	22 22/1(-83%)	(4) Conservative 22/1, 1m novice winner on AW for Martyn Meade. Yet to get his head in front for present stable, letting himself down around the first bend when hanging badly left and unseating his rider at Beverley (12.1f, good to firm) 18 days ago. No surprise to see a visor go on. Closer to the target on latest completed start (1m2f) but he's unproven at today's trip.

LTO Selection:

Dashing Panther belied long odds when scoring over this distance at Newbury, but he may be vulnerable after a 5lb rise for such a narrow success so the nod goes to REINA DEL MAR. Ed Walker's top-weight has been given a chance by the handicapper having been dropped 3lb following her fifth at Windsor last month and she can take full advantage. Ayr runner-up Whatacracker should also be thereabouts.

Cases can be made for a few of these, but preference is for REINA DEL MAR, who has seemingly been building up her fitness after a long absence and Ed Walker's 5-y-o can double her tally down to a career-low mark. Whatacracker ran well but was no match for a thriving rival at Ayr earlier this month and he may have to settle for silver again, while Allo Al Khawaneej and Damascus Steel can battle out minor honours.

The 3yo WHATACRACKER promises to be suited by 1m4f and he earns the vote ahead of handicap newcomer Allo Al Khawaneej.

Half-brother to 3 winners, including 2-y-o 5f winner Sardinia Sunset and useful winner up to 6f Tashaaboh. Always behind and badly in need of the experience on debut at Goodwood. Cheekpieces quickly reached for. Completely blew start on debut but should show more with a cleaner break; cheekpieces on.

Half-brother to 3 winners, including 7f-8.6f winner The Met and 1¼m winner Exclusively Jewell. Dam unraced. Stable does have the occasional 2yo winner first time out and he's worth a market check.
3	8 3rd (8) (25/1 +24%) Terrorise	25 25/1(+24%)	(8) Terrorise 25/1, Foaled April 12. 20,000 gns yearling, Territories gelding. Brother to French 2-y-o 6f winner Numero Dix and half-brother to 1¾m-2m winner Reassurance and 2-y-o 7.4f-8.6f winner She's Hot. Already gelded and stable is not a noted source of winning 2yo newcomers.

Strong at the finish on that occasion so step up to 6f sure to suit switched to the AW. Off the mark at Ripon last time; form not boosted since but he's still a major player.
5th	2 5th (2) (5/1 -11%) Never Fear	5 5/1(-11%)	(2) Never Fear 5/1, Winning debut in 6-runner maiden at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 12/1) last month. Dropped in trip and found out under a penalty at Beverley but better expected this time. Wolverhampton debut winner before held in the Hilary Needler; player back down in grade.
6th	7 6th (7) (14/1 +13%) Space Ninja	14 14/1(+13%)	(7) Space Ninja 14/1, Cost plenty as a yearling but held back by inexperience when sixth of 7 in novice event at Haydock (6f, firm, 17/2) on debut 15 days ago. Well beaten on his Haydock debut 15 days ago; needs to improve.
7th	6 7th (6) (18/1 +10%) Half Moon Rising	18 18/1(+10%)	(6) Half Moon Rising 18/1, Foaled April 1. €28,000 foal, £52,000 yearling, Inns of Court colt. Half-brother to several winners, including 7.4f/1m winner Dragon Sun and 11.2f-13f winner Elara. Stable had a rare winning 2yo newcomer at Redcar on Friday, though that was in a seller.
8th	5 8th (5) (3/1 +63%) D Point	3 3/1(+63%)	(5) D Point 3/1, Foaled February 15. €18,000 foal, 78,000 gns yearling, 130,000 gns 2-y-o, Blue Point colt. Half-brother to 2-y-o 7f winner Wild Iris. Sales price increased again at the Breeze-Ups but he was too green to show much on debut at Newbury. Held on his Newbury debut but should improve and is a half-brother to a course winner.

LTO Selection:

Biloxi Boy left his debut performance well behind when winning at Ripon and this extra furlong could potentially unlock another gear, but NEVER FEAR is chanced in receipt of 5lb. She could never get competitive from the rear in the Hilary Needler at Beverley but more aggressive tactics, like those applied when successful at Wolverhampton on debut, may see a different filly. Ballymount Boy was bought for 110,000 euros last month and can hopefully show up well on his introduction.

BILOXI BOY was really strong at the finish when successful over 5f at Ripon 3 weeks ago so with 6f certain to suit, he looks capable of successfully conceding weight all round. Never Fear is the obvious danger, for all D Point will surely know more this time.

The vote goes to NEVER FEAR. She was out of her depth last time but had previously made a winning debut on the Wolverhampton Tapeta.

1	1 1st (1) (1.25/1 +38%) Long Ago	1.25 1.25/1(+38%)	(1) Long Ago 1.25/1, Different proposition on second start when winning 15-runner minor event at Chelmsford City (10f) 21 days ago, suited by increase in trip. In the right hands to progress. Made all when beating 14 rivals at Chelmsford (1m2f) on return; respected under penalty.
2	3 2nd (3) (6.5/1 -189%) Elegancia	6.5 6.5/1(-189%)	(3) Elegancia 6.5/1, Fared as well as could be expected when 9¾ lengths fourth of 7 to Al Asifah in listed race (16/1) at Goodwood (9.9f, good to firm) 18 days ago, not ideally placed. Sets a good standard back in a novice. Respectable fourth in Listed race at Goodwood and sets a useful standard back in a novice.
3	4 3rd (4) (8/1 -7%) Mistressofillusion	8 8/1(-7%)	(4) Mistressofillusion 8/1, Still rough around the edges when 5¼ lengths third of 15 to Long Ago in minor event (40/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 21 days ago. May well do better. Promising third behind Long Ago at Chelmsford three weeks ago; should be in the mix again.
4	5 4th (5) (3/1 +40%) Queen Emma	3 3/1(+40%)	(5) Queen Emma 3/1, No chance with a pretty useful one but beat the rest comfortably in 10-runner minor event (4/1) at Windsor (10f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Likely there's more to come. Clear second behind a smart prospect at Windsor last time and she's open to more progress.
5th	7 5th (7) (28/1 +15%) Sabriel	28 28/1(+15%)	(7) Sabriel 28/1, Second foal, dam, unraced, out of unraced sister to Yesterday (Irish 1000 Guineas winner), Quarter Moon (Moyglare Stud Stakes winner) and All My Loving, all at least smart and also placed in Oaks. Well-bred filly who should have a future but this looks a tough starting point.
6th	8 6th (8) (6.5/1 +19%) So Farhh So Good	6.5 6.5/1(+19%)	(8) So Farhh So Good 6.5/1, Merely matched debut form when fourth of 5 in maiden at Ascot (10f, soft, 15/8) 48 days ago. Fair fourth in both her runs (1m/1m2f) but she needs to find significant improvement.
7th	6 7th (6) (20/1 -11%) Rouen	20 20/1(-11%)	(6) Rouen 20/1, Showed more than on debut when fifth of 8 in maiden at Newmarket (10f, good, 33/1) 55 days ago. Likely one to flourish in handicaps. Still early days but has a lot to find here; yard also runs Long Ago.

LTO Selection:

The obvious starting point is Elegancia, who shaped with a fair degree of promise in a Listed race at Goodwood last time and drops back to novice company here. A reproduction of any of her starts to date will put her right in the mix. However, preference is for LONG AGO, who showed a really good attitude to win over 1m2f on her second start at Chelmsford and may well be up to defying the penalty, especially if ridden with positive tactics around here. Mistressofillusion and Queen Emma are likely improvers too.

LONG AGO left her debut run well behind when landing a 15-runner AW novice 3 weeks ago and she couldn't be in better hands to progress. Defying a penalty against the likes of Elegancia, Mistressofillusion and Queen Emma will be no formality but she may well be up to the job.

The vote goes to ELEGANCIA, who ran respectably in a Listed race at Goodwood last time.

1	6 1st (6) (12/1 +14%) Just A Spark	12 12/1(+14%)	(6) Just A Spark 12/1, Progressive on AW, completing a hat-trick in 5f Southwell handicap in April. Has come up short in turf handicaps on her last 3 starts but her latest Salisbury run can be forgiven as she met plenty of trouble. Posted AW hat-trick earlier this year; has shown promise on turf but has to raise her game.
2	7 2nd (7) (3.33/1 +26%) Fierce	3.33 3.33/1(+26%)	(7) Fierce 3.33/1, Still a maiden but he ran well on the back of a gelding operation when second of 9 at Lingfield (6f, AW) 9 days ago. Player if in the same form. 0-9 but good second at Lingfield ten days ago on first run since being gelded.
3	1 3rd (1) (4.5/1 -64%) Crow's Nest	4.5 4.5/1(-64%)	(1) Crow's Nest 4.5/1, Already a winner of 2 sprint novice events this month. More will be needed to extend the winning run to 3 now switching to handicap company but further improvement would come as no surprise. Has won the last two of his three novices and he could continue to progress; contender.
4	8 4th (8) (6.5/1 +7%) Hello Arthur	6.5 6.5/1(+7%)	(8) Hello Arthur 6.5/1, Fair form. Pulled hard in blinkers when 6 lengths fourth over 7f at Salisbury 13 days ago and now drops in trip minus the headgear. Others are more obvious. Could be suited by the drop back to sprinting and he's a possible.
5th	2 5th (2) (4/1 +67%) Girl Magic	4 4/1(+67%)	(2) Girl Magic 4/1, Left her first 2 efforts this season behind when landing a 6f Lingfield handicap (good to firm) a month ago. Ought to remain competitive after a 4 lb rise. Back on track with a win at Lingfield latest; every chance she'll be bang there once more.
6th	4 6th (4) (4.5/1 +18%) Knebworth	4.5 4.5/1(+18%)	(4) Knebworth 4.5/1, Bagged 3 AW wins last year. Has found life tougher in handicaps this time round but it has been at Class 2/3 level and no surprise were he to make more of an impact in this lower grade. Hood worn last time is left off. Hasn't run badly in sixth the last twice but needs to produce something extra here.
7th	3 7th (3) (6/1 -20%) Fox Master	6 6/1(-20%)	(3) Fox Master 6/1, Made a successful debut at Newcastle in January. Placed in 6f handicaps on turf on his last 2 starts and his lightly-raced profile provides hope for better still. Went close at Leicester latest and this lightly raced sort is open to further improvement.

LTO Selection:

CROW'S NEST arrives here seeking a hat-trick after victories at Hamilton and, most recently, at Bath over 5f and this looks like a decent opportunity to continue his winning sequence. George Boughey's charge makes his handicap bow and this opening mark of 82 appears workable. Fox Master should also be thereabouts after just being denied off this rating at Leicester last month, while Lingfield runner-up Fierce heads the remainder.

If PREMIERE BEAUTY comes on for last month's Haydock reappearance run she might be the way to go. Fierce will be a threat if in the same form as when second at Lingfield last week, while the William Buick-ridden Crow's Nest will likely be popular on the back of two novice wins this month.

The unexposed filly PREMIERE BEAUTY reappeared with a promising third at Haydock and is preferred to Fox Master

Confirmed that improvement when runner-up at Newbury the following month and can resume winning ways with further progress to come. Lightly raced 4yo (3-6 on turf) and respected on AW debut; half-brother to a Tapeta winner.
2	10 2nd (10) (5/1 +44%) Spirit Catcher	5 5/1(+44%)	(10) Spirit Catcher 5/1, A winner on his reappearance in 2022 (placed on final 2 outings that year) and ran well after 8 months off when second at Redcar (1m) 6 days ago. Can give his running once more as he makes his first start on tapeta. Already due a 1lb rise after finishing second at Redcar six days earlier; shortlisted.
3	3 3rd (3) (7/1 +22%) Alrehb	7 7/1(+22%)	(3) Alrehb 7/1, Better than ever when winning on tapeta first 2 starts this year, at Wolverhampton (8.6f) on the second occasion. After a couple of lesser efforts on turf, ran up to his best on that surface when not beaten far at Epsom last time. One to note back on all-weather. Record on the AW reads 212511211; very interesting back on Tapeta.
4	4 4th (4) (10/1 +50%) Symbol Of Light	10 10/1(+50%)	(4) Symbol Of Light 10/1, Progressive sort for Charlie Appleby, completing a hat-trick on tapeta with success on handicap debut at Southwell (8.1f) in January 2022. Has lengthy absence to overcome (has had a wind op), but he could still have more to offer on his stable debut. 3-3 on Tapeta for Charlie Appleby; market informative on stable debut after 518 days off.
5th	8 5th (8) (14/1 -133%) Al Agaila	14 14/1(-133%)	(8) Al Agaila 14/1, Solid start to career on turf last summer and took form up a notch on polytrack during the winter, completing hat-trick in Winter Oaks Handicap at Lingfield (10f) in January. Ran below form on return at Nottingham, so needs to resume progress as she makes tapeta debut. Completed a Polytrack hat-trick in the winter but well held on Nottingham return.
6th	1 6th (1) (10/1 -25%) Brunch	10 10/1(-25%)	(1) Brunch 10/1, C&D winner who made a solid return in listed company at Doncaster (1m) in April. Went backwards from that effort when down the field in handicap at Newbury later the same month, but he appeals as the type to bounce back quickly. Listed winner/smart handicapper who was 2-2 here earlier in career; worth a second look.
7th	9 7th (9) (14/1 +30%) The Turpinator	14 14/1(+30%)	(9) The Turpinator 14/1, Won twice when trained by Tom Ward last year and made an encouraging start for current yard when third at this course (7f) in December. Probably needed the run after 5 months off at Thirsk in May, but may just find others stronger. May have needed last month's return and ran well here in December but has stamina to prove.
8th	5 8th (5) (12/1 +52%) Isla Kai	12 12/1(+52%)	(5) Isla Kai 12/1, Having dropped in the weights, took advantage with a game success at Ripon (1m) in April. Not in the same form back in better company on his last 2 starts, though went off too hard in Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot last week. Others still make more appeal. Has become inconsistent; well held in a novice here in his only AW start.
9th	2 9th (2) (10/1 -43%) Empirestateofmind	10 10/1(-43%)	(2) Empirestateofmind 10/1, Improved in the second half of 2022, following success at Thirsk (1m) with a trio of good runner-up efforts. Left his reappearance run behind when second at Newmarket in April, before a rare below-par effort last time. No surprise to see him get back on track. Handicapped to the hilt, being 14lb higher than when second of 13 over C&D last summer.
10th	11 10th (11) (12/1 +25%) What's The Story	12 12/1(+25%)	(11) What's The Story 12/1, Returned to winning ways at Carlisle (7.8f) in May and backed up that effort in a deeper race when third at York 12 days ago. Remains on a workable mark so he can go well again in his current form. Engaged 3.20 Carlisle Wednesday. C&D winner who has been running well on turf lately but takes on several unexposed types.

LTO Selection:

Lattam struck in the Irish Lincolnshire on his first start of the season and followed that effort up with a top-drawer second at Newbury, with the winner going on to lift the Royal Hunt Cup last week, so he is likely to be bang there off 2lb higher. However, SYMBOL OF LIGHT is unbeaten on the all-weather and was brought from Godolphin for 60,000gns at the Horses In Training Sale in October. If he retains his ability after 17 months off, he can pick up where he left off. Eilean Dubh and Empirestateofmind are also in contention.

LATTAM got back on the up when landing the Irish Lincolnshire on his return, doing very well to overcome trouble in-running, before finding only the subsequent Royal Hunt Cup winner Jimi Hendrix too strong at Newbury next time. He is taken to get the better of Eilean Dubh who produced his best effort of the year on his latest outing, with What's The Story completing the shortlist.

This can go to ALREHB whose record on the AW reads five wins and three seconds from nine attempts.

One to consider. Placed in the last two of her three runs and she's respected for in-form yard.
5th	4 5th (4) (3.5/1 -75%) Rogue Fox	3.5 3.5/1(-75%)	(4) Rogue Fox 3.5/1, Fourth of 11 in maiden (5/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) on debut. Off 8 months/gelded and blinkers fitted. Can improve and worth considering. Promising effort in sole 2yo run and looks interesting up in trip on return; been gelded.
6th	2 6th (2) (22/1 -57%) Elusive Empire	22 22/1(-57%)	(2) Elusive Empire 22/1, Eighth of 10 in maiden at Newcastle (10.2f, 12/1) on debut 51 days ago. Gelded and open to improvement. Out the back when 12-1 at Newcastle (1m2f) on debut last month and he's been gelded since.
7th	3 7th (3) (200/1 -203%) Global Volition	200 200/1(-203%)	(3) Global Volition 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. 200/1, tenth of 13 in novice event at Wolverhampton (6.1f), very slowly away. Off 9 months. Significantly up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Chris Dwyer. Struggled in both 2yo runs (6f) and has stacks to find upped in trip on his return.

LTO Selection:

From Beyond has the ability to win a race of this nature but maybe vulnerable to a couple of improvers. Rogue Fox shaped with considerable promise on his sole start as a two-year-old and would be a big player if fully wound up in the first-time blinkers. However, preference is for TERWADA, who caught the eye when coming from further back than ideal at Thirsk last time and the booking of Oisin Murphy looks significant, so he is taken to make it third-time lucky.

TERWADA finished with running left having been denied a clear run at Thirsk 3 weeks ago and on that evidence, he has a bigger performance in him. Rogue Fox is fitted with blinkers on just his second start but he needs considering, along with From Beyond.

Several of these are closely matched on the figures but it might be worth siding with TERWADA. From Beyond is feared most.

Type to do better this term but plenty on plate first time up here. Her dam was third in 1,000 Guineas, but she needs to leave her sole 2yo run well behind.

Showed more than on debut when fourth of 10 in minor event at Chepstow (7.1f, good to firm, 80/1) 27 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Likely has more to offer yet. Reappeared with encouraging fourth at Chepstow and could take another step forward.

Entitled to build on that and is one for shortlist. Placed on two of her three starts and she's one to consider.
5th	4 5th (4) (50/1 +0%) Morning Colours	50 50/1(+0%)	(4) Morning Colours 50/1, Failed to progress from debut when ninth of 11 in maiden at Wolverhampton (7.2f) earlier this month and will likely be seen in better light when sent handicapping. Has shown some ability but not enough to suggest she'll be winning this.
6th	5 6th (5) (28/1 +58%) Queens Award	28 28/1(+58%)	(5) Queens Award 28/1, Offered little on debut at this venue in April and can only be watched here. 190,000gns yearling with a useful pedigree, but she was well beaten at 33-1 on debut.
8th	1 8th (1) (4.5/1 -50%) Crowning	4.5 4.5/1(-50%)	(1) Crowning 4.5/1, Ran well on Rowley course sole start last term and made eye-catching return from 8 months off when third of 13 in maiden at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm, 2/1) 15 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Should have more to offer. Has shown considerable promise on both starts and she's firmly in calculations.

LTO Selection:

Spring Dawn has shown plenty of promise in both career starts on the Rowley Mile, occupying the runner-up berth twice, and she must be of interest if transferring that form to the July Course, but SATIRICAL is taken to get the better of her. The daughter of Kingman didn't really stay a mile at Newbury on her reappearance and is worth another chance dropping back to 7f. Glistened is out of Group 3 winner Spangled and warrants a market check on her racecourse bow.

Preference is for CROWNING, who made an encouraging return at Yarmouth earlier this month and remains open to improvement. Spring Dawn and Satirical look the likeliest dangers.

Having been denied a clear run when third at Yarmouth a fortnight ago, CROWNING is the pick ahead of Godolphin's Spring Dawn.

12th	10 12th (10) (50/1 +24%) Nazca	50 50/1(+24%)	(10) Nazca 50/1, Eighth of 13 in handicap (150/1) at this course (7.1f) 90 days ago, running on. Up against it. Out of the frame all nine starts and plenty to prove back from another three months off.
13th	12 13th (12) (33/1 +34%) Eva Rosie	33 33/1(+34%)	(12) Eva Rosie 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 22/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm) 14 days ago, slowly away. Others preferred. A little promise in her first four starts but beaten a long way at Nottingham last time.
14th	9 14th (9) (6.5/1 -18%) Red Command	6.5 6.5/1(-18%)	(9) Red Command 6.5/1, Respectable fourth of 15 in handicap at Redcar (7f, good, 10/3) 31 days ago. Should give his running once more and is still relatively unexposed. 0-10 but has twice run well since returned to the Flat last month; worth a second look.

LTO Selection:

Our Dickie failed to justify favouritism when filling the runner-up spot at Hamilton, but he shouldn't be dismissed as he steps back into a handicap. However, DISTINCTION has posted some solid efforts since returning to action in April, with the latest coming when he was beaten less than two lengths into fourth at Wolverhampton, and he ought to go very close off the same mark. Agonyclite is a C&D winner and should be respected.

RECLAIM VICTORY has been heading back in the right direction recently and wasn't seen to best effect when fourth at Chelmsford last month. This track is more to her liking (has won over C&D), so she's preferred to the in-form Our Dickie, with Red Command also on the shortlist.

C&D winner RECLAIM VICTORY (nap) shaped as though she would appreciate the return to 1m when a staying-on fourth over 7f last time.

1	1 1st (1) (3/1 +40%) Roman Dynasty	3 3/1(+40%)	(1) Roman Dynasty 3/1, One win from 28 Flat runs. Twenty seven runs since last win in 2020. Good second of 7 in handicap at Haydock (8f, good to firm, 8/1) 14 days ago. Can make presence felt for all he clearly needs everything to fall right. Winless since debut but down weights; 2nd to unexposed one over 1m latest; thereabouts.
2	3 2nd (3) (12/1 +40%) Saisons D'or	12 12/1(+40%)	(3) Saisons D'or 12/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Southwell in March. 11/1, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Carlisle (6.9f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Looks well worth another crack at this trip. C&D winner on sole course start; six wins since at about 7f; mixed since AW win in March.
3	6 3rd (6) (11/1 +8%) Langton Wold	11 11/1(+8%)	(6) Langton Wold 11/1, Creditable sixth of 11 in handicap at Thirsk (8f, good, 20/1) 24 days ago. Has work to do from current mark. Promising return upped to 1m this month; could build on that or go into reverse.
4	5 4th (5) (9/1 +0%) Hotspur Harry	9 9/1(+0%)	(5) Hotspur Harry 9/1, Course winner. Last of 9 in handicap at Windsor (10f, good to firm, 33/1) 24 days ago, missing break. Cheekpieces back on in a more suitable race. Mostly races at 1m2f; minor turf efforts of late but running well at 1m on AW previously.
5th	8 5th (8) (6.5/1 +19%) Kalahari Prince	6.5 6.5/1(+19%)	(8) Kalahari Prince 6.5/1, Creditable fifth of 9 in handicap (9/2) at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Clearly capable from this mark but doesn't look totally straightforward. Not yet looked on top of the handicapping game in 2023; needs more for win purposes.
6th	2 6th (2) (3.5/1 -40%) Nine Elms	3.5 3.5/1(-40%)	(2) Nine Elms 3.5/1, Four-time course winner. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win here in April. First run since leaving Roy Bowring when third of 5 in handicap (6/5) at this course (10.2f, good to firm) 30 days ago. Way he shaped that day suggests return to 1m will suit. Won 4 of his last 6 course starts; solid 3rd for new yard latest; big chance again.
7th	10 7th (10) (6.5/1 +35%) Obee Jo	6.5 6.5/1(+35%)	(10) Obee Jo 6.5/1, Latest win at Catterick in May. 5/1, creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at Thirsk (8f, good) 24 days ago, nearest finish. Six wins at 6f-7f; promising first 1m attempt latest; stamina still not completely proved.
8th	9 8th (9) (9/1 -64%) Makalu	9 9/1(-64%)	(9) Makalu 9/1, Latest win at Redcar in May. 5/2, fourth of 6 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, firm) 15 days ago. Can give a good account. Quiet in 2022; in good form this year; B De La Sayette 1-1 for the yard.
9th	7 9th (7) (33/1 -83%) Esticky End	33 33/1(-83%)	(7) Esticky End 33/1, Unreliable type. 14/1, last of 6 in handicap at Ayr (8f, good to firm). Off 11 months. Won at 7f and 1m last spring; form took serious turn for the worse after; off since July.
10th	4 10th (4) (11/1 +8%) Big Narstie	11 11/1(+8%)	(4) Big Narstie 11/1, Unreliable type. Latest win at Southwell in February. 7/2, sixth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 82 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Mixed things up trip-wise on AW of late, winning over 7f in February; lesser runs since.

LTO Selection:

The obvious starting point is Nine Elms, who absolutely loves it around here and is only 4lb higher than when winning well over this C&D in April. However, he may have to play second fiddle to Mick Appleby's BIG NARSTIE, who was running consistently well on the all-weather when the yards horses weren't firing in the spring and is on an attractive mark racing now back on turf for the first time since joining his new connections. Hotspur Harry could go well at a bigger price dropping back in trip.

This C&D brings out the best in NINE ELMS and he can make his second start a winning one for Kevin Frost. Roman Dynasty is hard to win with but this represents a drop in class so he's feared, along with Kalahari Prince.

Makalu should have a good run in him but course specialist NINE ELMS has plenty going for him back at 1m.

1	4 1st (4) (12/1 -20%) Able Kane	12 12/1(-20%)	(4) Able Kane 12/1, Ended 2022 below par and yet to hit top form so far this term. On a reasonable mark as a result and has tongue tie/blinkers refitted. He's dropped below last winning mark but it's hard to be confident on this year's evidence.
2	3 2nd (3) (5/1 +23%) Final Watch	5 5/1(+23%)	(3) Final Watch 5/1, Posted a career-best display when successful at Ascot (7f) in September and returned to his best when fourth on Rowley Course on reappearance. Lost a shoe next time but back from a break now, so can't be ruled out. C&D winner who is off last winning mark & had an excuse last time (lost both front shoes).
3	6 3rd (6) (4.5/1 +31%) Chola Empire	4.5 4.5/1(+31%)	(6) Chola Empire 4.5/1, Solid record in AW handicaps to start 2023 and fared about as well as could be expected on turf the last twice, fourth at Goodwood last time. Should give another good account. Not beaten far in fourth on his last two starts and every chance he'll be thereabouts.
4	2 4th (2) (9/1 -38%) Mitrosonfire	9 9/1(-38%)	(2) Mitrosonfire 9/1, Won over C&D off 2 lb lower mark last year and ended the season in good form. Shaped as if he'd come on for his return at Goodwood, so likely to be spot on. Could improve for recent reappearance outing and has won on last two visits to this course.
5th	1 5th (1) (18/1 -112%) Bass Player	18 18/1(-112%)	(1) Bass Player 18/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, sixth of 9 in handicap (22/1) at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Has the class to make his presence felt in this company but he's not the most straightforward. 0-9 since debut win but fair sixth last time; 3lb lower here and might not be far away.
6th	5 6th (5) (0.91/1 +17%) Urban Sprawl	0.91 0.91/1(+17%)	(5) Urban Sprawl 0.91/1, Likeable type who signed off for 2022 with back-to-back 7f nursery wins and progressed again this term, making all returned to firmer ground at Goodwood in May. Right back on track when third in Britannia at Royal Ascot a week ago and should land this if the race doesn't come too soon. Fine third at Royal Ascot last week and he'll be tough to beat if reproducing that form.

LTO Selection:

URBAN SPRAWL was able to outrun odds of 50/1 to finish third in the Britannia at Royal Ascot last week and there is likely more to come from Charlie Johnston's colt off the same mark. The drop from a mile shouldn't bother him, especially given he scored over this trip at Goodwood, albeit off 5lb lower, last month. Chola Empire has been consistent this year and is feared most, while the class-dropping Final Watch completes the shortlist.

URBAN SPRAWL has been getting better this season and, having finished third in the Britannia off this mark last week, he should be well up to resuming winning ways if the race doesn't come too soon. Chola Empire is feared most ahead of Mitrosonfire.

The 3yo URBAN SPRAWL was a fine third in the Britannia at Royal Ascot last week and could be tough to beat today off the same mark.

Not clear run when promising 2nd over 5f on turf latest; respected back on Tapeta.
3	1 3rd (1) (1.5/1 +45%) Thankuappreciate	1.5 1.5/1(+45%)	(1) Thankuappreciate 1.5/1, Posted another creditable effort when second of 8 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 7/2) 10 days ago. Races off same mark on tapeta debut and must enter calculations. Sole win in 6f novice; weighted to find a handicap but slow starts cost him; AW debut.

5th	6 5th (6) (22/1 -83%) Mistamac	22 22/1(-83%)	(6) Mistamac 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 8/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Haydock (5f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Fairly treated if return to AW sparks revival in form. Showed up well when 3rd over C&D on final 2yo start; may improve in this first AW handicap.
6th	3 6th (3) (5.5/1 -22%) Beelzebub	5.5 5.5/1(-22%)	(3) Beelzebub 5.5/1, Course winner who returned to form when creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 15 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Merits consideration. Won handicap debut over 6f here; interesting candidate for 5f; cheekpieces fitted.
7th	5 7th (5) (40/1 -150%) Family Ties	40 40/1(-150%)	(5) Family Ties 40/1, 9/1, creditable second of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, heavy) 47 days ago. Others look better treated, though. Won 6f turf novice last summer; has not proved well treated in handicaps so far.

LTO Selection:

DESERT GAMES appeared to appreciate the application of a first-time visor when a never-nearer second at Beverley and with the winner of that contest finishing a solid third off 6lb higher since, a 3lb rise for Richard Fahey's gelding looks more than fair. Thankuappreciate arrives in good heart after staying on to fill the runner-up spot over 6f at Windsor, although the drop to 5f may count against him so course winner Beelzebub is seen as a bigger threat.

DESERT GAMES upped his form a notch when second on handicap debut at Beverley earlier this month and remains low mileage. He is fancied to go one better here. Thankuappreciate and Beelzebub rate the principal dangers.

Cruise and DESERT GAMES are respected back on Tapeta, with marginal preference for the latter.

Falling in the weights but need to see more. Sole win was in 2020 and he's been quiet in three runs for new yard this season; opposable.
2	1 2nd (1) (4/1 +0%) Ernest Rutherford	4 4/1(+0%)	(1) Ernest Rutherford 4/1, Has struggled in 4 handicap starts for new yard this year but he's well treated on his best Irish form and is worth a betting check now dropping into a 0-65 for the first time. Mark is tumbling and now drops into a Class 6 event but he needs a major upturn in form.
3	7 3rd (7) (9/1 -29%) Enchanted Night	9 9/1(-29%)	(7) Enchanted Night 9/1, Unreliable sort. Remains a maiden after 30 Flat runs. Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 12/1) 10 days ago, never nearer. Some creditable efforts this term but she's now 0-30 and others are preferred.

6th	4 6th (4) (3/1 +14%) Mehmo	3 3/1(+14%)	(4) Mehmo 3/1, Unreliable type but is a C&D winner.. Notched 2 AW wins at Southwell in January. Might have needed his latest run here after a 4-month break and he's interesting with Oisin Murphy in the saddle. C&D winner who wasn't beaten far here on his recent return; in the mix back in trip.
7th	6 7th (6) (6/1 +14%) Hot Scoop	6 6/1(+14%)	(6) Hot Scoop 6/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Third over C&D a couple of weeks ago and ran well enough to think he's still in form when fourth at Ripon last week. On workable mark and was placed over C&D on his penultimate run; not ruled out.
8th	5 8th (5) (20/1 -67%) Breath Catcher	20 20/1(-67%)	(5) Breath Catcher 20/1, Modest maiden at 2 and tough to argue she looks well handicapped ahead of this first outing for 9 months. Generally regressive eight-race maiden and has work to do back from 288 days off.

LTO Selection:

Breath Catcher should do better this season and is worth a market check on her return to action. There is a good chance this could be fought out by the previous C&D winners in Van Gerwen, Mehmo and HEY MR. Slight preference is for the latter, who has slowly been coming to the boil this season and is now lurking on a very handy mark. He has a good draw and as long as the gaps appear, he can pounce late to take the prize.

The booking of Oisin Murphy for MEHMO suggests he's likely to step up on his recent course comeback outing and he might prove the answer to this trappy low-grade sprint. Van Gerwen and Hot Scoop are others to consider, while the class-dropping Ernest Rutherford is one to keep an eye on in the betting.

The tentative vote goes to C&D winner MEHMO, who looks interesting back in trip on his second run after a break.

Failed to build on that effort when fourth on the Rowley Mile in May, though has dropped further in the weights as a result. Shortlisted. Continues to drop down weights but form has been patchy and regressive since last November.
2	8 2nd (8) (9/1 -38%) Man Of Eden	9 9/1(-38%)	(8) Man Of Eden 9/1, Irish import who landed the odds on debut for this yard in a Newcastle maiden (1m) in January. Has shaped better than the result at Goodwood on his last 3 starts, hampered close home when fourth on his latest outing. Merits consideration with blinkers on first time. In good form at Goodwood on last three starts; perhaps the blinkers will bring out extra.
3	1 3rd (1) (10/1 -25%) Pisanello	10 10/1(-25%)	(1) Pisanello 10/1, Not the easiest to win with but given a good ride when scoring at Hamilton (8.3f) in May. Seemingly failed to stay longer trip next time and left poorly placed when seventh of 11 at York (8.8f) 12 days ago. Can give his running once more. Not quite at his best the last twice but the drop back to 1m could help; not ruled out.
4	9 4th (9) (14/1 +44%) Micks Dream	14 14/1(+44%)	(9) Micks Dream 14/1, Left poorly placed on his return and stepped forward from that effort when runner-up at Brighton both starts in May. Finished well held on only second outing on all-weather last time and may just find others stronger, though did run well in 2 starts here last summer. Flopped at Kempton latest but perhaps AW isn't his thing; has won here; not written off.
5th	5 5th (5) (25/1 +11%) Power Of Darkness	25 25/1(+11%)	(5) Power Of Darkness 25/1, Nearly 2 years without a win but soon back on track when mid-field at Yarmouth (1m) earlier this month, ideally needing a stronger gallop. Didn't get home having another try at 10f at Chester last time, so he's not one to write off as his mark continues to fall. Has dropped down the weights but has been unable to threaten on his last three starts.
6th	4 6th (4) (3.33/1 -21%) Shigar	3.33 3.33/1(-21%)	(4) Shigar 3.33/1, Off the mark in minor event at Lingfield last summer and has made the frame on his last 2 starts, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 15 days ago. Return to this longer trip should suit with hood applied. Engaged 7.20 Kempton Wednesday. Won with something to spare in first-time hood at Kempton last night; carries 5lb penalty.
7th	7 7th (7) (7/1 +13%) Gulmarg	7 7/1(+13%)	(7) Gulmarg 7/1, Won twice last year and has been holding his form well this season, bumping into an improved performer when finishing placed again at Nottingham (8.3f) 22 days ago.

8th	3 8th (3) (25/1 -56%) Cry Havoc	25 25/1(-56%)	(3) Cry Havoc 25/1, Recorded back-to-back wins on the all-weather last year and, having a rare start on turf, left previous form this season behind when runner-up at Yarmouth (1m) 15 days ago. Task is now to build on her latest effort. Close second of six at Yarmouth latest; in a warmer race here but she's not discounted.
9th	6 9th (6) (1.75/1 +22%) Wild Side	1.75 1.75/1(+22%)	(6) Wild Side 1.75/1, Has progressed with each of her 4 outings this season, completing her hat-trick in straightforward fashion when winning 8-runner handicap at Redcar (1m) 6 days ago. Looks up to defying a penalty in her current mood. Progressive 3yo who arrives on a four-timer and has strong claims under a penalty.

LTO Selection:

WILD SIDE has improved significantly this season, completing a hat-trick at Redcar last week, and George Boughey's filly is taken to extend her sequence, despite a 6lb penalty. Man Of Eden has been a beaten favourite on his last couple of starts, but the application of first-time blinkers is likely to aid his cause. Others worth considering are Gulmarg and Shigar.

WILD SIDE has been thriving this year, completing her hat-trick in good style at Redcar last week, and she can score again in her current form. Man of Eden has shaped well at Goodwood on his last 3 starts and could be the biggest threat with blinkers now applied, while Hafeet Alain is capable of getting involved as he drops in grade.

The progressive 3yo WILD SIDE (nap) made it 2-2 in handicaps with a ready win at Redcar and can defy a penalty to land the hat-trick.

HIGHFIELD VIKING wasn't quite at his best over 6f at Ripon last month, but John Quinn's charge should appreciate this return to 7f on Tapeta and he deserves another chance. Powerful Response was unable to justify strong support when down the field on his handicap debut at Wetherby in mid-May, but it's too soon to be writing him off and he's feared most, ahead of Run Cmc, who has first-time blinkers applied.

Without much obvious competition for pace, a chance is taken that RUN CMC will be able to get a positive position from his wide draw and build on the promise shown at Wetherby on his penultimate outing now fitted with blinkers. Highfield Viking can be given another chance to build on his return success at Doncaster, whilst Original Thinker can make a greater impact dropped back to 7f.

It may be worth taking a chance with ORIGINAL THINKER who ran with credit over C&D last month and is now 5lb lower.

Half-sister to 7f-1¼m winner Kodi Dream and useful winner up to 1m American Sonja. Dam, maiden (stayed 1m), half-sister to useful 1m-16.2f winner (stays 2½m) Island Brave. £45,000 2yo; 4th foal; half-sister to winners American Sonja (6f 2yo-1m Listed; RPR 105).

4	3 4th (3) (12/1 -71%) Paladin	12 12/1(-71%)	(3) Paladin 12/1, €70,000 yearling, Justify colt. Dam French 2-y-o 6f/7f winner who stayed 8.5f. 18/1, fifth of 11 in novice event at Haydock (7f, firm) on debut 15 days ago. Open to improvement. Wasn't far behind Phone Tag at Haydock and that one had the benefit of a run.
5th	1 5th (1) (16/1 -45%) American Glory	16 16/1(-45%)	(1) American Glory 16/1, Foaled February 6. 55,000 gns foal, Zarak colt. Half-brother to several winners abroad, including French 2-y-o 6.5f winner Zalacain. Dam Norwegian 1½m winner. Sixth foal; half-brother to four winners including Zahara (1m4f Norsk Oaks).
6th	5 6th (5) (3.2/1 -7%) Short Circuit	3.2 3.2/1(-7%)	(5) Short Circuit 3.2/1, €230,000 yearling, Frankel colt. Half-brother to useful 7.5f-9f winner Doctor Carl and 2-y-o 6f winner Sophia Ale. Promising sixth of 10 in maiden at Newbury (6.5f, firm, 9/1) on debut 22 days ago. May well do better and good shout here. 9-1, he was beaten just over 3l at Newbury (6.5f, good to firm) despite getting no cover.

LTO Selection:

GREAT TRUTH makes a huge amount of appeal on paper, being a son of Dubawi out of a Group 2-winning juvenile, and he may yet be another potentially exciting individual from the Godolphin operation. Phone Tag (third) and Paladin (fifth) both ran with credit behind a stable companion of the selection at Haydock and are entitled to progress on what they achieved. Short Circuit is likely to have benefited from his debut effort at Newbury and is open to a considerable amount of improvement.

SHORT CIRCUIT showed promise when sixth in what was likely a decent maiden at Newbury and the son of Frankel can put that experience to good use. Charlie Appleby has an excellent record with 2-y-o newcomers so his Dubawi-colt Great Truth is an obvious threat.

Charlie Appleby has won the past two renewals of this novice and GREAT TRUTH has to be of strong interest on his debut.

1	7 1st (7) (5.5/1 +27%) Rose Camira	5.5 5.5/1(+27%)	(7) Rose Camira 5.5/1, Modest maiden. 15/2, creditable third of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to firm) 15 days ago, not ideally placed. Up in trip. Looked a stayer when close 3rd over 1m3f on latest; of interest up in trip.
2	6 2nd (6) (5.5/1 +66%) Funky Town Pinkie	5.5 5.5/1(+66%)	(6) Funky Town Pinkie 5.5/1, Latest win at Southwell in December but not at his best in a couple of outings there at the beginning of 2022. Bounce back needed returned to turf after a break. AW wins at 2m and 1m6f in late 2022; below best when last seen; first turf handicap.
3	1 3rd (1) (3/1 -33%) Fred Bear	3 3/1(-33%)	(1) Fred Bear 3/1, Goes in search of a hat-trick after wins at Salisbury and Catterick. Only nudged 2 lb for his success at the latter track and a bold bid looks on the cards. Won 3 of his last 4 races at 1m6f/2m; hard fought latest but solid to go well again.
4	3 4th (3) (1.62/1 +81%) Shadowfax	1.62 1.62/1(+81%)	(3) Shadowfax 1.62/1, Fair maiden. Freshened up since finishing sixth of 8 in handicap (10/1) at Newcastle (2m) in January. has just his second outing on turf here. One to note in the betting. Stamina ran out over 2m+ in AW handicaps; first attempt at 1m6f offers hope back on turf.
5th	4 5th (4) (10/1 +0%) London Eye	10 10/1(+0%)	(4) London Eye 10/1, Winner on the Flat and over hurdles for Chris Dwyer. Off since a poor run on AW Flat at Kempton last September but is feasibly handicapped now setting out for a shred new stable. One to note in the betting. Below best over fences/on AW in the autumn but on a useful mark for new yard.
6th	2 6th (2) (7.5/1 -150%) Longuerue	7.5 7.5/1(-150%)	(2) Longuerue 7.5/1, French recruit who made a winning start over her new yard over 1¼m here last month. Her stamina for this significantly longer trip has to be taken on trust but it's possible this lightly-raced filly could have more to offer. Stayed 1m3f in France; kept on stoutly to win British debut (1m2f); new trip.

LTO Selection:

Longuerue did well to win over 1m2f here last month and having only been nudged up 1lb for that success, he looks sure to be involved with this longer trip likely to suit. However, he may struggle to contain FRED BEAR, who comes here chasing a hat-trick having got up right on the line over 2m at Catterick last time. This track should suit him better and he could be hard to beat with his rider taking off a very handy 5lb. Capricorn Prince bounced back to form at Chelmsford last time and shouldn't be underestimated.

In a finale where a few have questions to answer the most solid option is the hat-trick seeking FRED BEAR. Longeurue made a winning start for the Robert Eddery stable over 1¼m here last month and could pose a threat if seeing out the longer trip. Similar comments apply to Rose Camira, while London Eye would enter the reckoning if the betting speaks in his favour on this first outing for John Butler.

Fred Bear should go well again but ROSE CAMIRA looked a staying type at Yarmouth and is on a lowly mark these days.

1	8 1st (8) (8.5/1 +6%) Dereham	8.5 8.5/1(+6%)	(8) Dereham 8.5/1, Thorough stayer gained second of 2 victories last season in this contest. Creditable third of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (14f, 6/1) 21 days ago. Not taken lightly. Won this last year and returned to form with close third last time; strong contender.
2	2 2nd (2) (0.83/1 +63%) Capone	0.83 0.83/1(+63%)	(2) Capone 0.83/1, Sparely seen in recent seasons but clearly retains all his ability, building on a couple of promising efforts to score in emphatic fashion at Chester earlier this month. 5 lb rise looks manageable and he ranks high on the shortlist. Comfortable win at Chester 12 days ago and a 5lb rise may not stop him.
3	3 3rd (3) (12/1 -60%) At The Double	12 12/1(-60%)	(3) At The Double 12/1, Won 3 times last season but essentially looked thoroughly unwilling when last of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (16.3f, good to firm) 28 days ago and has plenty to prove now after such an abject display. Three handicap wins last summer; tailed off on final run last term & same story on return.
4	5 4th (5) (12/1 -100%) Wannabe Brave	12 12/1(-100%)	(5) Wannabe Brave 12/1, Appealed as a very interesting staying handicapper after winning at Kempton in November but hasn't quite kicked on as expected, just a respectable effort when fourth of 8 in handicap (5/1) at Doncaster (14.5f, good to firm) 26 days ago. Now below last winning mark but others are preferred. Lightly raced on turf but best efforts thus far have been on AW.
5th	7 5th (7) (8/1 +43%) Three Dragons	8 8/1(+43%)	(7) Three Dragons 8/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in November before running a creditable third of 9 having a rare turf outing at Beverley (12.1f, good to firm) 29 days ago. Hasn't stood much racing in recent seasons but he's unexposed at this trip and merits respect. Returned from break with close third at Beverley and he's one to be interested in.
6th	1 6th (1) (7.5/1 -36%) Byron Hill	7.5 7.5/1(-36%)	(1) Byron Hill 7.5/1, Has slipped in the weights and ran better than for a while dropped into this grade when second of 4 in handicap at Pontefract (17.1f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Cheekpieces replaced by blinkers and has the benefit of Buick on board, so looks to hold solid place claims again. Big step back in the right direction at Pontefract and he's a possible contender.
7th	4 7th (4) (7.5/1 -36%) Social City	7.5 7.5/1(-36%)	(4) Social City 7.5/1, Ended a long losing run with a first turf success at Lingfield (16.3f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Can be competitive again from a 3 lb higher mark. Won at Lingfield last time and has gone up just 3lb; can give another good account.

LTO Selection:

CAPONE has improved with each run this season and arrives following a comfortable success at Chester. The son of Nathaniel was given a 5lb rise for that display and it would be no surprise to see him make it back-to-back victories. Social City returned to turf with a victory at Lingfield earlier in the month and commands respect, along with Byron Hill, who may improve for the application of first-time blinkers.

CAPONE has built a thoroughly positive profile since returning from another lengthy absence and a 5 lb rise in the weights shouldn't be enough to stop him following up his recent Chester success. Three Dragons remains unexposed as a stayer and is most feared ahead of last-time-out Lingfield winner Social City and last year's victor Dereham.

Having won in good style at Chester recently, CAPONE can defy a 5lb rise and follow up. Last year's winner Dereham is feared most.

Should remain competitive. Benefited from a forward ride when prevailing over this far at Yarmouth.
2	4 2nd (4) (12/1 +45%) Bay Of Naples	12 12/1(+45%)	(4) Bay Of Naples 12/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. 10/1, last of 12 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f) 16 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Others more persuasive. Having an up and down year and trainer now turns to a tongue-tie; others safer.

Still relatively unexposed, so could build on that. Lightly raced and kept boxing on to be a close fourth behind Gearing's Point at Yarmouth.
4	9 4th (9) (12/1 -50%) Foursome	12 12/1(-50%)	(9) Foursome 12/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 9/2, respectable third of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (14.1f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Should give another good account but obviously hard to win with. Remains a maiden and others look in better nick at the minute.
5th	8 5th (8) (4.5/1 +68%) Rita Rana	4.5 4.5/1(+68%)	(8) Rita Rana 4.5/1, One win from 21 Flat runs. Sixth of 15 in minor event (16/1) at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Needs to do more. Doesn't look a winner waiting to happen on this season's evidence.
6th	3 6th (3) (2.5/1 +29%) Blazer Two	2.5 2.5/1(+29%)	(3) Blazer Two 2.5/1, C&D winner. 7/2, respectable sixth of 13 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Goes well here and should put up a bold bid under a positive ride. C&D winner last month and Windsor a week later perhaps came too soon for him.
7th	7 7th (7) (16/1 -14%) Zoffany Portrait	16 16/1(-14%)	(7) Zoffany Portrait 16/1, 18/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 15 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Creditable effort penultimate outing, so not completely dismissed. Still to be placed; has run well on the odd occasion but seems inconsistent.
8th	1 8th (1) (14/1 +36%) Prince Abu	14 14/1(+36%)	(1) Prince Abu 14/1, 6/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f) 16 days ago, slowly away. Chance on old form but struggling at present. Hasn't been bringing best game to the races since going close at Southwell six runs back.

LTO Selection:

GEARING'S POINT returned to winning ways at Yarmouth on her latest start and the five-year-old commands plenty of respect off just a 2lb higher mark, especially in a contest of this nature. Blazer Two won over C&D on his penultimate outing and is likely to enter calculations, while others for the shortlist include Lailah, who was behind the selection at Yarmouth and may have more to offer up in trip, and Owens Lad.

BLAZER TWO has been successful on his last two visits to this track and he makes most appeal in an open race. In-form Gearing's Point is an obvious danger and Owens Lad, who was behind the selection last time, can't be dismissed.

James Fanshawe's LAILAH wasn't far behind second choice Gearing's Point at Yarmouth when the winner had the run of things.

7th	7 7th (7) (8.5/1 -70%) Sir Joseph Swan	8.5 8.5/1(-70%)	(7) Sir Joseph Swan 8.5/1, Dual winner over 1¾m for Amanda Perrett last year. New stable in good form ahead of this first outing for 8 months. Hooded first time. Enters calculations. Two wins over 1m6f last term; bought for 10,000gns in February; chance on stable debut.
8th	2 8th (2) (20/1 -67%) Typewritten	20 20/1(-67%)	(2) Typewritten 20/1, Creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (2m) when last seen in March. Back on turf after a break with cheekpieces also refitted. Capable off this mark. Has run on AW since August; placed all 4 starts on turf; off since March; headgear back on.
9th	6 9th (6) (12/1 +25%) Great Colaci	12 12/1(+25%)	(6) Great Colaci 12/1, 17/2, good third of 8 in handicap at this course (1½m, good to firm) 8 days ago. Bit more needed. Well handicapped; best run in 2023 when third here last week; more needed.

LTO Selection:

SAMEEM won readily under Emily Roberts at Ripon last week and with a Listed course success under his belt as well, the New Approach gelding could successfully defy a 4lb penalty. There are certainly no stamina concerns for Two Auld Pals, who struck over 2m1f at Carlisle earlier this month, and he must enter calculations. Bouncing Bobby won here last time and has top amateur Alice Stevens aboard, while Great Colaci and Sir Joseph Swan add further spice to the race.

If SAMEEM can reproduce the form he showed when pulling clear in the closing stages at Ripon last week he might be able to follow up under a 4 lb penalty. Saint Lawrence's Wokingham win at the weekend is a fine example of how Archie Watson can improve new recruits and Sir Joseph Swan is feared most on his first start for the trainer. The consistent Tafsir may prove best of the remainder.

On his debut for Archie Watson, SIR JOSEPH SWAN is given the vote ahead of last week's easy Ripon winner Sameem.

LTO Selection:

ALL ABOUT ALICE disappointed on her yard debut for Dylan Cunha when down the field at Wolverhampton earlier in the month. However, the daughter of Excelebration is worth another chance and gets the vote in what could prove to be a decent opportunity. Trusty Scout is respected following his recent second at Kempton, while Angel On High has been given a chance by the handicapper having been dropped 3lb for his latest run at Lingfield.

TRUSTY SCOUT is capable from this sort of mark and he showed better signs when second at Kempton last time, so he gets the nod over All About Alice, who failed to justify market support on stable debut at Wolverhampton but remains one to be interested in. Long Call is also worth a mention.

It's hard to trust any of these but TRUSTY SCOUT is a dual winner who ran well last time out

Probably best watched on debut. Bought for 18,000euros in May; dam a 1m AW winner; likely to improve for the run.

LTO Selection:

The betting could be informative here, with Karl Burke's racecourse debutant Princess Alex and the 69-rated Bellarchi flying the flag for Nick Bradley Racing, but NINETY NINE may master both. Although slowly away and then carried left late on, there was a lot to like about Richard Fahey's filly's debut performance to take fourth at Wetherby and she seems sure to improve for that experience.

NINETY NINE shaped well on her Wetherby debut and is taken to improve past the more established Bellarchi. A market move for Karl Burke newcomer Princess Alex would also bring her firmly into the reckoning.

Having shaped well on her debut, NINETY NINE is taken to get off the mark. The newcomer Princess Alex is the other to consider.

1	4 1st (4) (9/1 -64%) Kracking	9 9/1(-64%)	(4) Kracking 9/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 7/1, second of 12 in minor event at Kempton (7f) 36 days ago, not ideally placed. Makes handicap debut. Should have more to offer. Hooded each AW start, showing promise; can improve now handicapping on turf debut.
2	9 2nd (9) (6.5/1 -18%) Shot Of Love	6.5 6.5/1(-18%)	(9) Shot Of Love 6.5/1, Aided by first-time blinkers when getting off mark in 8-runner handicap at Wetherby (7f, good to firm, 15/2) 16 days ago. 3 lb rise fair and ought to go well again. Handicap career not an immediate success but won first 7f one on turf this month; involved.
3	3 3rd (3) (4.5/1 +36%) Special Mayson	4.5 4.5/1(+36%)	(3) Special Mayson 4.5/1, Course winner (6f) last autumn but hasn't built on encouraging return in couple of subsequent starts. Others more persuasive. Has won at 6f (here) and 7f; stiff test at this trip not necessarily what's wanted.
4	1 4th (1) (8/1 -60%) Yoshimi	8 8/1(-60%)	(1) Yoshimi 8/1, C&D winner who returned to form when taking 8-runner handicap at Carlisle (6.9f, good to soft) 27 days ago. 5 lb rise fair and another bold bid anticipated. Back to form when ready winner over 7f back on turf; first and second from two C&D runs.
5th	7 5th (7) (3.33/1 +0%) Surrey Noir	3.33 3.33/1(+0%)	(7) Surrey Noir 3.33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 11 in minor event at Doncaster (6f, good to firm, 15/2) 40 days ago. May do better now sent handicapping. Showed clear promise on AW; pedigree suggests return to 7f will suit now handicapping.
6th	5 6th (5) (7/1 +30%) Dicko The Legend	7 7/1(+30%)	(5) Dicko The Legend 7/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 13 in minor event (20/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f), missing break. Off 9 months. First run for yard after leaving Joseph Parr. Hood on 1st time/been gelded. Market check advised on yard/handicap debut. Promising 6f debut but failed to go on; worth a look now handicapping for new yard.
7th	8 7th (8) (4.5/1 +25%) Native Beach	4.5 4.5/1(+25%)	(8) Native Beach 4.5/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in April. Fourth of 7 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, heavy, 13/2) 45 days ago, slowly away. Gelded since last seen. Needs a couple of these to falter. Found out in 1m handicaps but AW winner at 7f earlier so this may be more his trip for now.
8th	6 8th (6) (66/1 -136%) Universi Dominici	66 66/1(-136%)	(6) Universi Dominici 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1, sixth of 8 in nursery at Catterick (5f, good to soft). Off 9 months. Significantly up in trip. Work to do on return. Weak finisher in 2 sprint handicaps in the autumn; has it to prove over 7f on return.
9th	2 9th (2) (9/1 +55%) Broxi	9 9/1(+55%)	(2) Broxi 9/1, 20/1 and visored for 1st time, last of 12 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 22 days ago. Blinkers back on. Work to do off current mark. Suited by 7f; weighted to win again but not in the best of form at present.

LTO Selection:

Yoshimi made a pleasing return to turf when scoring by two lengths over this distance at Carlisle on his latest run, but that was arguably the result of a falling handicap mark and he could struggle after a 5lb rise. Therefore, it could pay to side with the unexposed KRACKING, who makes both his turf and handicap bow following a decent second at Kempton last month. An opening mark of 70 looks workable for Clive Cox's inmate, while Wetherby winner Shot Of Love is another to consider off 3lb higher.

YOSHIMI got back on the scoreboard at Carlisle earlier this month and remains feasibly treated on old form. He may be able to follow up. Kracking and Shot of Love are feared most.

Shot Of Love is respected but YOSHIMI looked in peak form when winning at Carlisle and he can add to his good course record.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (7.5/1 +25%) Hard Solution	7.5 7.5/1(+25%)	(6) Hard Solution 7.5/1, C&D winner. Twenty five runs since last win in 2021. 11/2, below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Ripon (5f, good) 8 days ago. Others make more appeal. Last win was over 6f here in 2021; hasn't been in best of form but drops in grade.
2	4 2nd (4) (3.2/1 +29%) Imperial Khan	3.2 3.2/1(+29%)	(4) Imperial Khan 3.2/1, Winner at Beverley in May. 8/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good) 20 days ago, not ideally placed from poor draw. Should bounce back and makes appeal in a weak event. Inconsistent but capable (5f Beverley winner two runs back); chance if on a going day.
3	1 3rd (1) (1.5/1 +25%) Rajmeister	1.5 1.5/1(+25%)	(1) Rajmeister 1.5/1, Won 7-runner handicap at Redcar (5f, good to soft, 6/4) 56 days ago. Remains fairly treated on old form and should go well again. Has won two 5f handicaps this season; up 6lb from last time; should go well; rain a bonus.
4	2 4th (2) (3.33/1 -48%) Stay Smart	3.33 3.33/1(-48%)	(2) Stay Smart 3.33/1, Latest win at Ayr in June. Creditable third of 6 in handicap at Ayr (5f, firm, 9/2) 16 days ago. Likely to be on the premises again. Both wins over 5f on fast ground, the latest at Ayr two runs back; 3lb higher; a possible.
5th	3 5th (3) (20/1 -67%) Montelusa	20 20/1(-67%)	(3) Montelusa 20/1, Unreliable type. First run since leaving Tim Easterby when fifth of 6 in seller (14/1) at Thirsk (6f, good) 20 days ago. Hard to fancy on the back of a lacklustre display. Claimed for £6,000 when 2nd two runs back (5f); poor run on stable debut; others preferred.
6th	7 6th (7) (11/1 +67%) Burtonlodge Beauty	11 11/1(+67%)	(7) Burtonlodge Beauty 11/1, C&D winner. One win from 25 Flat runs. 80/1, last of 8 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good) 36 days ago. Plenty to prove at present. Exposed; only win was over C&D on soft last August; poor form recently and others stronger.

LTO Selection:

RAJMEISTER had a couple of subsequent winners behind when scoring a shade comfortably at Redcar last month and a 6lb rise in the ratings might not be enough to anchor him if arriving in the same mood. Stay Smart arrives following a string of solid performances and he is likely to be in the shake-up once again, while Imperial Khan has a squeak with Laura Coughlan back on board.

Having scored at Beverley in May, IMPERIAL KHAN was undone by the draw at Thirsk last time, so he's well worth a chance to get back on track in a thin race. Last-time-out winner Rajmeister is an obvious player and Stay Smart can't be dismissed.

With the recent rain having been in his favour, RAJMEISTER can win his third race of the year with Stay Smart his main danger.

1	1 1st (1) (5/1 +9%) Dungar Glory	5 5/1(+9%)	(1) Dungar Glory 5/1, 14/1, bounced back to best after 5 months off when winning 8-runner handicap at Ripon (9.8f, good) 8 days ago, very much having run of race. Carries penalty and circumstances may not be so favourable here, Eponina also a confirmed front-runner. Returning from 163 days away when making all at Ripon (1m2f, good) a week ago.
2	3 2nd (3) (7/1 +22%) Clipsham Gold	7 7/1(+22%)	(3) Clipsham Gold 7/1, C&D winner. 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Latest at Kempton in May. 11/4, underperformed back on turf when 9½ lengths fifth of 7 to Eponina in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Record of 2-3 on AW this year, looking better than ever; form dipped behind Eponina.
3	5 3rd (5) (7.5/1 -50%) Eponina	7.5 7.5/1(-50%)	(5) Eponina 7.5/1, C&D winner. Won 7-runner handicap (5/1) at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm) 25 days ago, making all. May face competition for the lead here but seems sure to give it a good go from just 3 lb higher. Recent Nottingham winner; only 3lb higher and she's usually fairly reliable.
4	2 4th (2) (3/1 +33%) New Heights	3 3/1(+33%)	(2) New Heights 3/1, 4/1, got back on track having dropped below her last winning mark when second of 6 in handicap at Salisbury (8f, firm) 16 days ago. Should be in the mix again. Perhaps in front too soon when runner-up at Salisbury; should go well.
5th	6 5th (6) (20/1 -300%) Aim For The Moon	20 20/1(-300%)	(6) Aim For The Moon 20/1, 28/1, fifth of 12 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 37 days ago, no extra final 1f. Makes handicap debut and likely she'll find a couple too strong. Close up in one AW run; could be interesting on turf/handicap debut.
6th	7 6th (7) (9/1 +64%) Kinz	9 9/1(+64%)	(7) Kinz 9/1, 28/1, first run having previously been trained by John Spearing when fourth of 10 in handicap at Chepstow (7.1f, good to firm) 44 days ago, needing stiffer test. This will reveal more with return to 1m in her favour. Promising start for this yard at Chepstow and returning to 1m can suit.
7th	4 7th (4) (1.88/1 +16%) Floral Splendour	1.88 1.88/1(+16%)	(4) Floral Splendour 1.88/1, 14/1, returned to form from out of the blue when second of 8 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 19 days ago, running on despite carrying head awkwardly. Shortlist material if arriving in the same mood. Back in good form when staying on well for second at Beverley; thereabouts.

LTO Selection:

FLORAL SPLENDOUR recorded a staying-on second over an extended 7f at Beverley on her most recent run and a marginally stiffer stamina test can see her make a return to the winner's enclosure. She has only gone up 1lb for the aforementioned outing and there is likely more to come from the four-year-old. Eponina made all over a similar trip at Nottingham earlier this month and is feared most off 3lb higher, while Dungar Glory adds further spice to the race under a 5lb penalty for her last-start success.

FLORAL SPLENDOUR returned to form from out of the blue when finishing runner-up at Beverley earlier this month and with the in-form Hollie Doyle taking over in the plate, Iain Jardine's 4-y-o can taste success for the first time since her debut last summer. Eponina took her winning efforts to double figures at Nottingham earlier this month and she's put forward as the main threat, with New Heights rounding off the shortlist.

Dungar Glory is respected but NEW HEIGHTS (nap) was perhaps in front too soon at Salisbury and she can go one better.

1	4 1st (4) (0.29/1 +53%) Godwinson	0.29 0.29/1(+53%)	(4) Godwinson 0.29/1, Promising type. Third of 15 in maiden at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm, 9/1) on debut 14 days ago, slowly away. Entitled to build on that and holds strong claims. Promising start when third in maiden at Nottingham, going on well at finish; hard to beat.
2	6 2nd (6) (2.75/1 -38%) Bosc Girl	2.75 2.75/1(-38%)	(6) Bosc Girl 2.75/1, Posted fair form in both starts thus far, latest when second of 9 in maiden (5/1) at Ripon (9.8f, good to firm) 39 days ago. Likely contender. Placed on both her starts, runner-up in 1m2f Ripon maiden on latter occasion; considered.
3	7 3rd (7) (10/1 -54%) Streetzoffilly	10 10/1(-54%)	(7) Streetzoffilly 10/1, Zoffany filly. Half-sister to 1m/8.3f winner Alpha Cru. Dam unraced out of useful 1½m winner Doe Ray Me. Market check advised on debut. Zoffany filly who appeals on paper so this newcomer needs a market check.
4	2 4th (2) (250/1 -400%) Star Of Markinch	250 250/1(-400%)	(2) Star Of Markinch 250/1, Twice-raced mare on Flat. 250/1, eighth of 13 in maiden at Catterick (12.1f, good). Off 13 months. Down in trip. Hard to recommend. Has offered little over hurdles and in two Flat runs; she's hard to make a case for.
5th	1 5th (1) (150/1 -127%) Carnival Times	150 150/1(-127%)	(1) Carnival Times 150/1, Twice-raced filly. 200/1, ninth of 11 in maiden at Carlisle (9f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Up against it. Only poor form shown on her two runs to date; she needs to take a big step forward.
6th	3 6th (3) (125/1 -150%) Zandora	125 125/1(-150%)	(3) Zandora 125/1, 50/1, last of 9 in handicap at Chepstow (8.1f, good to firm) 13 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Robyn Brisland. Best watched. Low-mileage 4yo who cut little ice for Robyn Brisland; plenty more required for new yard.
7th	5 7th (5) (150/1 -127%) The Darien Scheme	150 150/1(-127%)	(5) The Darien Scheme 150/1, Thrice-raced gelding. 150/1, last of 7 in maiden at Ayr (8f, good to firm) 24 days ago. One for handicaps down the line. Well held on all his three outings; it's easy to look elsewhere.

LTO Selection:

GODWINSON made a pleasing introduction when third over the extended mile at Nottingham and he appears to be the pick of this field. William Haggas' runner will know more for that debut experience after being slowly away, and he shaped as if this slight step up in trip will be a positive. Bosc Girl might pose the biggest danger after a consistent start to her career, and a win looks to be just around the corner. Newcomer Streetzoffilly heads the remainder.

This can go to GODWINSON, who should have learnt plenty from his recent encouraging Nottingham debut. Bosc Girl looks the obvious danger on form with newcomer Streetzoffilly best of the rest.

William Haggas's GODWINSON shaped well when a debut Nottingham third and with a fair bit of improvement on the cards is the one to beat

1	2 1st (2) (3.5/1 +0%) Buddy's Beauty	3.5 3.5/1(+0%)	(2) Buddy's Beauty 3.5/1, Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (20/1) at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) 14 days ago by ½ length from Apache Star, keeping on well. Worth a chance to defy revised mark. Successful handicap debut at Nottingham when making the most of a positive draw.

Should give another good account. Tackling only his third handicap when a close third over 6f here (soft), fading late on.

5th	1 5th (1) (6.5/1 -30%) Apache Star	6.5 6.5/1(-30%)	(1) Apache Star 6.5/1, One win from 23 Flat runs. Nineteen runs since last win in 2021. Good ½-length second of 9 to Buddy's Beauty in handicap at Nottingham (5f, good to firm, 9/1) 14 days ago. Not taken lightly. Struggles to win and again came up shy when beaten by Buddy's Beauty at Nottingham.
6th	8 6th (8) (9/1 -13%) Mr Pc	9 9/1(-13%)	(8) Mr Pc 9/1, One win from 28 Flat runs. Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. 7/1, third of 7 in minor event at Ffos Las (5f, good to firm) 4 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Needs to up his game. 1lb out of the weights but Hollie Doyle takes over with cheekpieces added.
7th	4 7th (4) (16/1 +27%) Thakrah	16 16/1(+27%)	(4) Thakrah 16/1, 25/1, last of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f). Off 110 days. Cheekpieces back on. Others make more appeal. Not many positives to take from her last three races and now returns from another break.
8th	7 8th (7) (7/1 +13%) Snow Berry	7 7/1(+13%)	(7) Snow Berry 7/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 9/2, sixth of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, good) 25 days ago. Well treated and sort to benefit from a first-time visor. Ran quite well in a Class 6 at Nottingham last time (good to firm); 4lb lower for this.

LTO Selection:

This could go the way of the progressive APACHE STAR who, despite having to shoulder top-weight here, lost little in defeat off 2lb lower when filling the runner-up spot at Nottingham earlier this month. Although the gelded son of No Nay Never has yet to score on turf, that was a step in the right direction. He is fancied to get the better of the reopposing Buddy's Beauty, who finished in front of the selection last time but is now 3lb worse off with her rival. Bungle Bay completes the shortlist.

BUDDY'S BEAUTY is on the up and displayed a good attitude to beat Apache Star at Nottingham a fortnight ago, so she's fancied to uphold the form with her old rival and go in again. Bungle Bay also merits plenty of respect in what looks like a reasonable race for the grade.

Quite open. MALHAM TARN COVE could benefit from this sharper test and he edges preference over Bungle Bay.

6th	1 6th (1) (2/1 +50%) Live In The Moment	2 2/1(+50%)	(1) Live In The Moment 2/1, Nineteen runs since last win in 2020. 7/2, bit below form third of 6 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 3 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Leniently treated on pick of form. Winless since 2020 but he arrives in decent nick, third at Windsor 3 days ago; in the mix.

LTO Selection:

Despite just six runners heading to post, it is still a very difficult puzzle to solve, but the nod goes to ABATE. The Adrian Nicholls-trained seven-year-old was denied a hat-trick over 6f at York, but he still ran a fine race to finish third and the drop back to 5f could be ideal. Live In The Moment commands respect after a sound third over 6f at Windsor earlier in the week, while Jm Jungle should also be thereabouts.

ABATE has been in terrific form lately and shaped better than the result when third at York, so he gets the nod over Count d'Orsay, who is handicapped to win and shaped best at Thirsk last time. Good Luck Fox is another one to consider in what looks a competitive affair.

C&D scorer ABATE (nap) came home first in his group when an excellent third at York and can resume winning ways off the same mark.

11th	5 11th (5) (33/1 -106%) Crosstitch	33 33/1(-106%)	(5) Crosstitch 33/1, Fourth of 7 in minor event (6/1) at Windsor (10f, heavy) 45 days ago. Fairly treated but still looking for first success. Struggled in a novice last time but not far away in two handicaps prior to that.
12th	10 12th (10) (66/1 -230%) Jackie Diamond	66 66/1(-230%)	(10) Jackie Diamond 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 66/1, sixth of 7 in minor event at Chepstow (6.1f, good to soft). Off 9 months. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Difficult ask. Not badly treated on her debut second and the dam won over this far.
13th	12 13th (12) (50/1 -52%) Ravigill	50 50/1(-52%)	(12) Ravigill 50/1, 50/1, tenth of 13 in handicap at this course (8.2f, good to firm) 31 days ago, slowly away. Up in trip. Needs a couple of these to falter. Returned to action with three heavy defeats and needs to turn things around.

LTO Selection:

Obama Army posted yet another runner-up effort at Hamilton last Wednesday and shouldn't mind the return to 1m2f in this contest, but a 2lb rise may prevent the Jack Channon-trained gelding from succeeding once more. I STILL HAVE FAITH returned to form when second at Haydock a fortnight ago and he makes most appeal racing off the same rating. The lightly-raced Alhambra Palace makes his handicap debut off what looks a workable mark and warrants consideration.

Preference is for KAMANIKA, who figures off a handy mark and had plenty of traffic problems when fifth at Haydock a fortnight ago. Alhambra Palace and I Still Have Faith head the list of dangers.

A few with chances but ALHAMBRA PALACE is ready for this longer trip and looks a likely improver on his handicap debut.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (2.5/1 +38%) Ajyad	2.5 2.5/1(+38%)	(2) Ajyad 2.5/1, Found a little more improvement when taking 5-runner maiden at Bath (10.2f, firm) last month and should have more to offer now sent handicapping. Unexposed; winner of a Bath maiden last time; feasibly treated on h'cap debut; chance.
2	4 2nd (4) (9/1 -125%) Dreams Adozen	9 9/1(-125%)	(4) Dreams Adozen 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Sixth of 7 in handicap (7/1) at Leicester (11.8f, good to firm) 31 days ago, having run of race. Hopes of improvement may rest on first-time blinkers. Closely matched with Ajyad on AW form; below par on turf debut latest; blinkers now tried.
3	1 3rd (1) (6/1 +50%) Iconique	6 6/1(+50%)	(1) Iconique 6/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. 10/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Carlisle (11.2f, soft) 10 days ago, not clear run. Others preferred. An occasional winner; on a good mark but needs to improve on her latest sixth at Carlisle.
4	5 4th (5) (2/1 -23%) Lochnaver	2 2/1(-23%)	(5) Lochnaver 2/1, Back to winning ways when making all in 8-runner handicap at this course (12.1f, good to firm) 8 days ago, readily. Just 2 lb higher now and holds strong claims. Unpenalised for her easy win here 8 days ago (third course win) and an obvious contender.
5th	3 5th (3) (3/1 +25%) Tiamat	3 3/1(+25%)	(3) Tiamat 3/1, Lightly-raced winner. 15/2, respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good) 44 days ago. Not out of things. Best runs over 7f and 1m on Tapeta; pulled hard over 1m2f latest so 1m3f not sure to suit.

LTO Selection:

Ajyad shed her maiden tag at Bath at the third time of asking and has to be of interest now making her handicap bow, but she could be up against it because LOCHNAVER struck by four lengths, despite being eased down, over a furlong further here last week. The five-year-old escapes a penalty and can go in again off just a 2lb higher rating. Tiamat could improve for this step up in distance so she shouldn't be dismissed lightly.

Course specialist LOCHNAVER hasn't been harshly treated for her comfortable success here last week and can follow up. Ajyad is going the right way and is much respected.

The unexposed Bath maiden winner \AJYAD\p is taken to score on her handicap debut with the unpenalised Lochnaver her main danger.

1	7 1st (7) (11/1 -22%) Haaf A Diamond	11 11/1(-22%)	(7) Haaf A Diamond 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fifth of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm, 16/1) 25 days ago. Others preferred. Lacked the pace to land any sort of blow on her handicap debut at Nottingham (1m).
2	5 2nd (5) (5.5/1 -10%) Astronomica	5.5 5.5/1(-10%)	(5) Astronomica 5.5/1, Had a bit in hand when making winning return/handicap debut at Windsor (8.1f, heavy) 52 days ago, overcoming pace bias. Likely to face different conditions here but remains fairly treated. Fended off a subsequent winner at Windsor and any rain will aid her cause.
3	4 3rd (4) (1/1 +20%) Harry The Haggler	1 1/1(+20%)	(4) Harry The Haggler 1/1, Posted career best when close second of 7 in handicap (5/2) at Chepstow (8.1f, good to firm) 3 days ago. Can race off same mark here and holds strong claims. Not his first near miss when a clear second at Chepstow; solid prospects.
4	3 4th (3) (3.33/1 +33%) Ticket To Alaska	3.33 3.33/1(+33%)	(3) Ticket To Alaska 3.33/1, Disappointed at Chepstow latest but had come close at Doncaster (8f) off this mark previously and must enter calculations. 0-10 but was running well until a slow start had him on the back foot at Chepstow.
5th	6 5th (6) (14/1 -27%) Daisy Roots	14 14/1(-27%)	(6) Daisy Roots 14/1, 7/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 7 days ago. Still looking for first success. Beaten in three handicaps, with her best run when a 3l fourth of 11 over 7f at Kempton.
6th	1 6th (1) (8/1 -33%) Acclaimer	8 8/1(-33%)	(1) Acclaimer 8/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 16/5, sixth of 7 in minor event at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) 44 days ago, slowly away. May do better now sent handicapping and is worth monitoring in market. Closest he came in novices was his fourth of nine over 7f at Redcar when beaten about 5l.
7th	2 7th (2) (33/1 +18%) Wamalama	33 33/1(+18%)	(2) Wamalama 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, first run since leaving Ivan Furtado when seventh of 8 in handicap at Redcar (7f, good to firm) 30 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Makes limited appeal. 40-1 for his stable/handicap debut at Redcar and beat only one home.

LTO Selection:

HARRY THE HAGGLER found only an unexposed rival too strong at Chepstow on Monday and the son of Gleneagles holds leading claims turned out quickly off the same mark. Astronomica got the better of a subsequent winner when gaining a breakthrough success at Windsor last month and rates as an obvious threat off only 3lb higher. Ticket To Alaska is best excused his latest fourth-placed finish at Chepstow after rearing leaving the stalls.

HARRY THE HAGGLER pulled clear of the remainder when runner-up at Chepstow on Monday and looks the one to beat. Astronomica and Ticket To Alaska look the likeliest dangers.

With rain about there should be a good run in ASTRONOMICA who accounted for a subsequent winner at Windsor.

1	7 1st (7) (3.5/1 +30%) Giselles Izzy	3.5 3.5/1(+30%)	(7) Giselles Izzy 3.5/1, One win from 24 Flat runs. Respectable third of 13 in handicap at this C&D (firm, 5/1) 15 days ago. That was a seventh placed return of the campaign so she scores plenty of points for consistency. Placed for 4th consecutive start when good C&D 3rd 15 days ago; she can go well again.
2	2 2nd (2) (4/1 -33%) Kats Bob	4 4/1(-33%)	(2) Kats Bob 4/1, C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 11/2, fifth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (good) 53 days ago. Now 2 lb below last winning mark so he's well weighted. Dual C&D scorer who didn't enjoy rub of the green when C&D 5th latest; big player.
3	4 3rd (4) (6.5/1 +7%) Caribbean Sunset	6.5 6.5/1(+7%)	(4) Caribbean Sunset 6.5/1, Creditable third of 8 in handicap (13/2) at Thirsk (5f, soft) 9 days ago, never nearer. Back up in trip, which promises to suit. Winless since his debut but arrives in good nick; considered with return to 6f a plus.
4	6 4th (6) (8.5/1 +47%) Autumn Flight	8.5 8.5/1(+47%)	(6) Autumn Flight 8.5/1, Course winner. Latest win at Brighton in May. 17/2, seventh of 10 in handicap at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Usual eyeshields/blinkers back on. Dual 6f winner this term but his form has dipped; course winner so could bounce back.
5th	12 5th (12) (10/1 +70%) Sharrabang	10 10/1(+70%)	(12) Sharrabang 10/1, Twenty three runs since last win in 2021. 7/1, creditable third of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, soft) 10 days ago. Hard to win with. It's 23 outings since last success but creditable Carlisle 4rd latest; place possibilities.
6th	8 6th (8) (28/1 -12%) Turbo Command	28 28/1(-12%)	(8) Turbo Command 28/1, Two wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Southwell in April. Last of 7 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to firm, 13/2) 26 days ago. Two-time 7f scorer at Southwell this spring but well held both starts back on turf since.
7th	11 7th (11) (25/1 -56%) Lancashire Life	25 25/1(-56%)	(11) Lancashire Life 25/1, One win from 27 Flat runs. Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. Good third of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 33/1) 35 days ago, never nearer. Rare turf start. Arrives on a long losing run but good Wolverhampton 3rd 35 days ago; one for the shortlist.
8th	13 8th (13) (50/1 +0%) Nodsasgoodasawink	50 50/1(+0%)	(13) Nodsasgoodasawink 50/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2021. 50/1, last of 11 in minor event at Ayr (7.2f, firm) 5 days ago. Must improve. Yet to fire in three runs this term; it's easy to look elsewhere.
9th	3 9th (3) (20/1 +20%) Guest List	20 20/1(+20%)	(3) Guest List 20/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 9/2, sixth of 7 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, soft) 59 days ago. That was disappointing given the promise of her reappearance. Beat only one in 7.5f Beverley handicap in May; she's now 11 starts without a victory.
10th	9 10th (9) (16/1 -100%) Aclaim To Fame	16 16/1(-100%)	(9) Aclaim To Fame 16/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 9 in maiden at Thirsk (6f, heavy, 9/2) 49 days ago, though perhaps did too much too soon. Handicap debut for good yard. Hinted at promise before ridden aggressively when Thirsk 5th; can do better now h'capping.
11th	1 11th (1) (25/1 -257%) Wee Fat Mac	25 25/1(-257%)	(1) Wee Fat Mac 25/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in January. Another respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (5f). Off 128 days. Back up in trip returned to turf. Off since creditable fourth at Southwell in February but he can't be ruled out.
12th	14 12th (14) (80/1 +20%) Henery Hawk	80 80/1(+20%)	(14) Henery Hawk 80/1, 200/1, last of 13 in handicap at this C&D (firm) 15 days ago. Has failed to beat a rival on his three runs this season; very hard to warm to.
13th	10 13th (10) (3.33/1 +58%) Bonito Cavalo	3.33 3.33/1(+58%)	(10) Bonito Cavalo 3.33/1, Typically took strong hold when third of 11 in novice event at Ayr (7.2f, firm, 7/2) 5 days ago. Merits consideration back in a handicap minus headgear. Placed for fifth start in a row when third at Ayr 5 days ago; ought to be in the shake-up.
14th	5 14th (5) (22/1 +12%) Shabaaby	22 22/1(+12%)	(5) Shabaaby 22/1, Struggling for form in recent starts, already held when stumbling at Carlisle (5.8f, soft) 10 days ago. Arrives below par for current yard, sixth at Carlisle ten days ago; more is needed.
15th	15 15th (15) (66/1 -450%) Mrs Happy	66 66/1(-450%)	(15) Mrs Happy 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 250/1, ninth of 11 in maiden at Carlisle (6.9f, good) 38 days ago, considerately handled. Makes handicap debut. May well do better from this basement mark. Gustav Klimt filly who has been brought along steadily; can do better now handicapping.

LTO Selection:

Wee Fat Mac has been reliable on the all-weather since his last turf appearance, with the latest of his efforts coming when fourth at Southwell over 5f. However, GISELLES IZZY has been just as consistent and her turn has looked near for a while, so she is fancied to better her third-place finish over C&D last time to score. Sharrabang and Bonito Cavalo are others to consider.

The removal of cheekpieces looks a good move from connections of BONITO CAVALO and he's capable of opening his account from this modest mark. You can set your watch by Giselles Izzy at this level so she's of interest, along with Kats Bob.

Lots with chances but dual C&D scorer KATS BOB signalled he's ready to go in again when an encouraraging C&D 5th so gets the verdict.

About U.K Horse Racing

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

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

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

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

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

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