12:20 Newcastle Handicap (Class 2) 6f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (3.5/1 +36%) Batal Dubai	3.5 3.5/1(+36%)	(8) Batal Dubai 3.5/1, Lightly-raced C&D winner. Seventh of 11 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 9/1) 26 days ago, finishing with running left. Booking of Murphy a plus and should give a good account with that run under his belt. C&D winner at two; still has time to do better in handicaps; one to consider.
2	9 2nd (9) (6/1 +40%) Animate	6 6/1(+40%)	(9) Animate 6/1, Course winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 7/1) 24 days ago. Needs to take a step forward here. Two 7f wins on Tapeta; not yet fully exposed and the drop in trip could squeeze out more.
3	2 3rd (2) (5/1 +17%) Lethal Levi	5 5/1(+17%)	(2) Lethal Levi 5/1, Six wins from 21 Flat runs. 20/1, below form fifteenth of 27 in handicap at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) 7 days ago. Good second at York prior to that and big player if able to reproduce that form on AW debut. York 2nd in May gives solid claims; this is more manageable than the Wokingham last week.
4	1 4th (1) (9/1 +25%) Coachello	9 9/1(+25%)	(1) Coachello 9/1, Latest win at Meydan in January. 16/1, 13¾ lengths last of 8 to Art Power in Greenlands Stakes at the Curragh (6f, good) 35 days ago. Sights lowered now switched to tapeta but looks vulnerable under top-weight all the same. Big player on his best form and he has a useful record on AW; contender despite big weight.
5th	5 5th (5) (10/1 -18%) Tiger Crusade	10 10/1(-18%)	(5) Tiger Crusade 10/1, Six wins from 23 Flat runs. 2 wins from 4 runs this year, the latest at Lingfield in February. 6/4, below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f), unable to sustain effort. Off 112 days and needs to raise his game a touch. Two 7f wins this year; below par latest; will need a strong pace back at 6f.
6th	6 6th (6) (14/1 -75%) Soldier's Minute	14 14/1(-75%)	(6) Soldier's Minute 14/1, Respectable fourth of 15 in handicap (11/1) at York (6f, good to firm) 14 days ago, finishing well. 12 lb higher back on the AW but he possesses a good strike rate on synthetics (5-20) and is certainly capable of a bold show. A smart performer on AW and he's been catching the eye on turf this year; interesting.
7th	4 7th (4) (14/1 -75%) Magical Spirit	14 14/1(-75%)	(4) Magical Spirit 14/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Doncaster in April. 33/1, creditable third of 21 in handicap at York (6f, firm) 45 days ago, finishing 1½ lengths adrift of the second, Lethal Levi. Each-way shout. Not far off his very best this season; C&D winner; should be in the thick of it.
8th	7 8th (7) (3.5/1 -27%) Raatea	3.5 3.5/1(-27%)	(7) Raatea 3.5/1, C&D winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, won 12-runner handicap at Haydock (6f, firm, 13/2) 21 days ago, driven out. 3 lb rise fair enough and he has to be taken seriously. Won this race decisively 12 months ago; game effort at Haydock latest; should be involved.
9th	3 9th (3) (11/1 +21%) Aleezdancer	11 11/1(+21%)	(3) Aleezdancer 11/1, Five wins from 19 Flat runs. Latest win at Doncaster in April. 25/1, respectable tenth of 21 in handicap at York (6f, firm) 45 days ago. Held by Lethal Levi on that evidence. Looks good on slow ground; still has more to come and some aptitude for AW once last year.

LTO Selection:

A game winner off 3lb lower at Haydock last month, Raatea must enter calculations on his return to the all-weather, but this is a tougher contest so MAGICAL SPIRIT is marginally preferred. Kevin Ryan's inmate finished a length and three-quarters back in third in a competitive sprint at York and holds every chance of building on that now switching to an artificial surface off the same mark. Tiger Crusade and Lethal Levi are others worthy of consideration.

RAATEA bagged this prize 12 months ago and is taken to repeat the dose on the back of his Haydock success 3 weeks ago, for which a 3 lb rise is hardly prohibitive. Next on the list is Soldier's Minute, who shaped as though coming to hand at York a fortnight ago and the return to the all-weather will be no bad thing for this 8-y-o. Lethal Levi was down the field in the Wokingham last weekend but also performed well at York prior to that and will be a threat if taking to this surface.

Coachello is dangerous despite top weight but SOLDIER'S MINUTE is a reliable performer on AW and retains a chunk of his ability.

12:20 Newcastle Handicap (Class 2) 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

12:40 Newmarket Listed (Class 1) 6f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
2	2 (2) (25/1 -79%) Denruth Diamond	25 25/1(-79%)	(2) Denruth Diamond 25/1, Fair form, reaching the frame twice in Britain before winning a Saint-Cloud conditions race over 6.5f 17 days ago. First-time cheekpieces added. Improvement will be needed. Remains to be seen whether she can transfer the form of French win back to home soil.
1	7 1st (7) (0.8/1 +42%) Star Of Mystery	0.8 0.8/1(+42%)	(7) Star Of Mystery 0.8/1, Shaped well when second on debut and easily went one better at Haydock (6f) 12 days later, drawing a whopping 11 lengths clear. Very promising. Scored by 11l at Haydock last time and appears to have Listed/Group potential; respected.
2	1 2nd (1) (40/1 +0%) Cry Fiction	40 40/1(+0%)	(1) Cry Fiction 40/1, Made a winning debut over 6f at Windsor in May, knuckling down well to see off a more experienced rival. That form is nothing special but she's open to progress. Made a winning debut at Windsor despite being carried left; bare form is ordinary.
3	8 3rd (8) (12/1 -71%) Unbreak My Heart	12 12/1(-71%)	(8) Unbreak My Heart 12/1, Confirmed debut promise when winning a 5-runner Bath novice (5f, firm) 14 days ago. There should be more to come from her over 6f. Solid effort on debut, then won at Bath; pedigree suggests she'll do better yet.
4	3 4th (3) (16/1 -45%) Indispensable	16 16/1(-45%)	(3) Indispensable 16/1, Ten Sovereigns filly who struck at the third time of asking in 5f Ripon maiden 10 days ago, travelling powerfully and always doing enough. May have more to come. Solid record in sprint maidens and the form has substance; the type to do better still.
5th	5 5th (5) (6.5/1 +41%) Point Of Attack	6.5 6.5/1(+41%)	(5) Point Of Attack 6.5/1, Blue Point filly who travelled well in the lead and was caught only in the final 50 yds when a promising second on her Lingfield debut (6f, AW) 25 days ago. Can be expected to improve for leading yard. Clear second at Lingfield (AW) on debut; open to progress and one to consider.
6th	10 6th (10) (28/1 -56%) Ziggy's Phoenix	28 28/1(-56%)	(10) Ziggy's Phoenix 28/1, Fairly useful filly who won a Ripon novice and the Lily Agnes at Chester in the spring. Has run creditably when fourth at Chantilly and Beverley since but those defeats expose her limitations to some degree. Races beyond 5f for the first time. Won the Lily Agnes and fourth in the Hilary Needler but is a touch exposed now.
7th	6 7th (6) (14/1 +0%) Rare Jewel	14 14/1(+0%)	(6) Rare Jewel 14/1, Exceed And Excel filly. half-sister to 5f/6f winner Noble Title. Dam smart 5f winner (including at 2 yrs). Top stable prepared to pitch her into a listed race on debut. Very interesting to see how much strength there is behind her in the betting. Exceed And Excel filly; stablemate of Indispensable; sole newcomer in the field.
8th	9 8th (9) (4.5/1 +0%) What A Question	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(9) What A Question 4.5/1, Lope De Vega filly who looked a good prospect when winning easily on her 6f Goodwood debut 15 days ago, impressing with the turn of foot she showed to shoot clear. Major player. Made all for emphatic success at Goodwood two weeks ago; looks a useful prospect.
9th	4 9th (4) (33/1 -32%) Neverstopdreaming	33 33/1(-32%)	(4) Neverstopdreaming 33/1, €220,000 No Nay Never filly who built on her opening Goodwood fourth when winning 6f Pontefract maiden (good to firm) 19 days ago. More to come but a fair chunk of improvement needed to go close at this level. Finished behind Indispensable on debut but won next time and may improve further.

LTO Selection:

STAR OF MYSTERY scored by 11 lengths at Haydock last time, which suggests she could be above average for her powerful connections and she looks the one to beat. The main danger could come in the shape of What A Question, who was eased down when winning well on debut at Goodwood and should have more to come, while Point Of Attack is also one to note after her runner-up effort at Lingfield.

STAR OF MYSTERY looked potentially smart when slamming 8 rivals at Haydock last time and is selected to take the step up to listed company in her stride. What A Question also impressed when making a winning start to her career at Goodwood a couple of weeks ago and is a clear second choice ahead of Point of Attack.

Star Of Mystery looks a good prospect but there are plausible alternatives, most notably UNBREAK MY HEART and Indispensable.

12:40 Newmarket Listed (Class 1) 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

12:55 Newcastle Group 3 (Class 1) 6f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (2.5/1 +29%) Tiber Flow	2.5 2.5/1(+29%)	(5) Tiber Flow 2.5/1, Smart sort who won a 6f Newbury listed race last May. Continued in good heart when comfortably held by Creative Force at Haydock (6f, good) 7 weeks ago but the feeling is he may well find a couple too strong. Fine record on AW and he's run creditably in two turf starts this year; not fully exposed.
2	4 2nd (4) (4.5/1 +0%) Spycatcher	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(4) Spycatcher 4.5/1, Added to his fine record fresh when producing a convincing performance to land 7-runner conditions event at Thirsk (7f, heavy) in April. Shaped as if still in form when fourth in a Heritage handicap at Ascot (7f, soft) 7 weeks ago and could well hit the frame once again. Classy on his day and he's looked better than ever this year; strong claims.
3	6 3rd (6) (5.5/1 +0%) Witch Hunter	5.5 5.5/1(+0%)	(6) Witch Hunter 5.5/1, Proved better than ever under a well-judged hold-up ride when landing Buckingham Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm, 50/1) 9 days ago. Has been placed in listed company previously and could well make a splash provided this doesn't come too soon. Conditions fine and he turned in a career best when winning at Royal Ascot; major player.
4	1 4th (1) (4/1 -33%) Brad The Brief	4 4/1(-33%)	(1) Brad The Brief 4/1, Talented sprinter who upped his game when joining this trainer last term, winning conditions event at Haydock in May and followed up in Group 2 Greenland at the Curragh 2 weeks later. Finished down the field in Group 1 at Ascot when last seen in October but he has a great record fresh. Absent since poor run in a G1 in October but goes well fresh and the highest rated in here.
5th	3 5th (3) (4.5/1 +10%) Mount Athos	4.5 4.5/1(+10%)	(3) Mount Athos 4.5/1, 13/8, had winning run ended but had excuses when 3¾ lengths second of 7 to Spycatcher in minor event at Thirsk (7f, heavy) 10 weeks ago, perhaps unsuited by conditions and taking longer to come towards the near rail in the straight than the rest. Had wind op since and remains open to progress. No match for Spycatcher in April but 2-2 on AW and he's had a wind op since last time.
6th	8 6th (8) (28/1 +15%) Prince Of Pillo	28 28/1(+15%)	(8) Prince Of Pillo 28/1, Winner of first 2 starts and took his form up a notch with listed success at Ayr in September. Good third in a Group 3 final 2-y-o start but struggled on both outings last month. Back up to 6f for the first time since his debut and is tough to fancy. Well short of his 2yo best in two runs this year; lots to prove on AW debut.
7th	7 7th (7) (14/1 +36%) Iconic Moment	14 14/1(+36%)	(7) Iconic Moment 14/1, Winner of both starts at 2 yrs (both at 7f) and got up close home on return in a listed contest at Lingfield (7f) in March. Fourth in a valuable 1m conditions race next time but proved to be a disappointment on turf debut in listed race at Newmarket (7f, good) just over 8 weeks ago. Three 7f wins on Polytrack; form dipped switched to turf last time; first 6f run today.
8th	2 8th (2) (28/1 -100%) Judicial	28 28/1(-100%)	(2) Judicial 28/1, C&D winner. 5/1, good ½-length second of 9 to Summerghand in listed race at Lingfield (6f, AW), edged out only late on. Finished down the field in last year's renewal (won 2020 edition), but that was a rare blip, but could get involved after 7 months off the track. Prolific winner; good 2nd in Listed event in November (6f, Polytrack); can go well fresh.

LTO Selection:

This represents a considerable drop in grade for BRAD THE BRIEF who, despite making his return from a 259-day break, is a solid contender based on the pick of his form. He kept on well to score in the Greenlands Stakes at the Curragh in May last year and a reproduction of that effort can see him go close. Witch Hunter sprung a surprise in the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot so has to enter calculations upped in grade, while Mount Athos completes the shortlist.

An open-looking renewal which can go the way of BRAD THE BRIEF, who found his first attempt at the top level too competitive on Champions Day at Ascot back in October, but Hugo Palmer's 6-y-o can add to his already outstanding record fresh. Mount Athos had his winning run ended back on turf at Thirsk 10 weeks ago, but he remains capable of better back on a synthetic surface, with recent Royal Ascot winner Witch Hunter another worth considering.

Witch Hunter shone at Royal Ascot and goes well on AW but SPYCATCHER has looked better than ever this season and gets the vote.

12:55 Newcastle Group 3 (Class 1) 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:15 Newmarket Listed (Class 1) 12f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (7/1 +7%) Kemari	7 7/1(+7%)	(3) Kemari 7/1, Queen's Vase winner in 2021 and has run plenty of good races in defeat since, including at Meydan this year. Runner-up in this 12 months ago but Buick prefers New London. On a two-year losing spell but he's capable of smart form and can't be dismissed.
2	4 2nd (4) (40/1 -21%) Outbox	40 40/1(-21%)	(4) Outbox 40/1, Smart performer at best (winner of this 2 years ago) but well held all 3 starts this season (has beaten just 2 horses in 3 starts). Successful in this contest two years ago but has a doubt over current form.
3	1 3rd (1) (1.1/1 +0%) New London	1.1 1.1/1(+0%)	(1) New London 1.1/1, Very smart at 3 yrs, winning 3 times, notably handicap here and Group 3 at Goodwood. Failed to justify favouritism in the St Leger at Doncaster final start but was still a very respectable third (promoted to second). Off 9 months. Tongue strap on 1st time. Has 5 lb penalty. Generally progressive; placed in last year's St Leger; 3-3 at Newmarket tracks; respected.
4	5 4th (5) (5/1 +29%) Phantom Flight	5 5/1(+29%)	(5) Phantom Flight 5/1, Progressive during his debut season in 2022, winning 3 times, and shaped well both starts this season, taking a while to get to grips with the track when third of 5 in listed race at Goodwood (9.9f, good to firm) 35 days ago, finishing with running left. Worth a go at this trip and not dismissed. Pedigree suggests this new trip will eke out further improvement from him; interesting.
5th	2 5th (2) (2.25/1 +0%) Al Aasy	2.25 2.25/1(+0%)	(2) Al Aasy 2.25/1, Very talented but is no battler, as shown when edged out in Coronation Cup at Epsom and Group 2 over C&D in 2021. Resumed winning ways back down in class in listed race at Ascot sole start last year. Off 14 months but goes well fresh and looks the pick on these terms. Classy at his best; Listed winner when last seen 14 months ago; leading contender on form.

LTO Selection:

Al Aasy has some questions to answer on his return from a long break, but he was last seen taking a Listed event at Ascot in May last year and he is more than capable on his day. However, NEW LONDON just shades the vote after filling the runner-up spot in last year's St Leger at Doncaster. He has looked the type that would improve as a four-year-old, which will make him tough to beat. Phantom Flight can beat Kemari and Outbox home for third, as he shaped as if a step up to this trip could bring about improvement last time.

A small field but a strong race for the grade, returning pair AL AASY and New London very smart on their day, the former shading the vote in receipt of 2 lb.

Seasonal debutants New London and Al Aasy are respected on form. PHANTOM FLIGHT and Kemari are interesting at bigger odds.

13:15 Newmarket Listed (Class 1) 12f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 2) 16f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (11/1 -38%) La Hacienda	11 11/1(-38%)	(6) La Hacienda 11/1, 22/1, ran as well as could've expected upped in grade when 2¼ lengths third of 6 to Powerful Aggie in listed race at Down Royal (16.2f, good) 8 days ago. Remains to be seen if he can back up that up and yard also run Cozone. Listed third on reappearance and could be well treated now back in a handicap; respected.
2	11 2nd (11) (5/1 +17%) Mostly Sunny	5 5/1(+17%)	(11) Mostly Sunny 5/1, C&D winner in November. 12/1, back on song when second of 7 in handicap at Goodwood (16f, good to firm) 20 days ago, albeit better placed than most. Can make presence felt if translating that form back on the all-weather. C&D winner who returned to form with close second at Goodwood; possible contender.
3	1 3rd (1) (12/1 +25%) Faylaq	12 12/1(+25%)	(1) Faylaq 12/1, Losing run stretches back to 2019. Has resumed for his new trainer in good form but he didn't find much after travelling powerfully when third at Hamilton (11.1f, good) 48 days ago. May figure, but others preferred for win purposes. Untested at the trip but in good form & trainer is a dab hand with stayers; not ruled out.
4	4 4th (4) (14/1 +13%) Legendary Day	14 14/1(+13%)	(4) Legendary Day 14/1, Enhanced a reasonable strike rate on the Flat at Ripon and far from disgraced in a couple of good handicaps since. Needs to shrug off lesser effort at Beverley just under 3 weeks ago though, and is back in cheekpieces/tongue tie. 2-2 here and could have more to offer over staying trips with the tongue-tie now back on.
5th	2 5th (2) (6.5/1 -30%) Appier	6.5 6.5/1(-30%)	(2) Appier 6.5/1, Won at this track in May and responded generously to pressure to double his tally for the year at Lingfield (12f, AW) 4 weeks ago by 1¾ lengths from Citizen General, suited by way race developed. Carries penalty and in the mix in his current mood. Progressive 4yo who is 7-14 in handicaps; major player if seeing out this new trip.
6th	3 6th (3) (40/1 -100%) Winterwatch	40 40/1(-100%)	(3) Winterwatch 40/1, Made a winning return to action over 2m at Kempton last year. Disappointed at Galway next time but quickly back on track when twice a runner-up over hurdles thereafter. Possibly needed the outing last month and heads significantly back up in trip. Well beaten on his last two Flat starts so arrives with questions to answer.
7th	5 7th (5) (6/1 +25%) Hadrianus	6 6/1(+25%)	(5) Hadrianus 6/1, AW maiden winner in December who has improved in a higher grade this year, third to Gregory in a listed event at Goodwood in May. Finished much further behind that rival in Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot (14.2f, good) 10 days ago and handicapper taken no chances with his opening mark. Faded in the 1m6f Queen's Vase last week but this 3yo is not written off on handicap debut.
8th	13 8th (13) (3/1 +25%) Blow Your Horn	3 3/1(+25%)	(13) Blow Your Horn 3/1, Arrives on a 4-timer after completing a hat-trick with wins at Doncaster (14f), Beverley (2m) and Pontefract (18f, good) last month. Must shoulder a 7 lb penalty, but that may not be enough to anchor him in his current vein of form. Readily completed hat-trick at Pontefract and runs off just 1lb higher today.
9th	10 9th (10) (6.5/1 +19%) Citizen General	6.5 6.5/1(+19%)	(10) Citizen General 6.5/1, Course winner. 6/4, progressed a little further when 1¾ lengths second of 9 to Appier in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 4 weeks ago. Significantly up in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time and could well have a say in proceedings from the same mark. In good form at 1m4f-1m5f, including here; this longer trip may prompt further progress.
10th	9 10th (9) (50/1 -25%) Ace Rothstein	50 50/1(-25%)	(9) Ace Rothstein 50/1, 12/1, offered little on first outing since leaving Martin Smith when last of 7 in handicap at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 33 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Tough to fancy. Well beaten back on the Flat the last twice and has plenty to prove, including stamina.
11th	14 11th (14) (80/1 -21%) Ironopolis	80 80/1(-21%)	(14) Ironopolis 80/1, Opened his account at Southwell in April but below form back on turf when seventh of 9 in handicap at Haydock (11.6f, good, 16/1) 7 weeks ago. Significantly up in trip and plenty on from out of the weights. Unexposed 3yo who could have more to offer now up in trip but he's 9lb out of the handicap.
12th	12 12th (12) (33/1 -32%) World Without Love	33 33/1(-32%)	(12) World Without Love 33/1, Latest win at Carlisle in June. Shaped as if still in good form when 7 lengths fourth of 8 to Blow Your Horn in handicap at Beverley (16.2f, good to firm, 7/1) 20 days ago. Carries penalty and not without each-way hope. Won in small field two starts ago but soundly beaten fourth behind Blow Your Horn since.
13th	8 13th (8) (10/1 -25%) Thermoscope	10 10/1(-25%)	(8) Thermoscope 10/1, C&D winner on sole start for Brian Ellison and followed up after 7 months off at Musselburgh in May. Unsuited by the steady gallop back down in trip when third of 4 in handicap (11/10) at Hamilton (13.1f, good to firm) 23 days ago and heads back up in distance. Won two in a row over 2m, then slowly run 1m5f was against him; not discounted.
14th	7 14th (7) (33/1 -65%) Cozone	33 33/1(-65%)	(7) Cozone 33/1, Looked a touch rusty back on the Flat when sixth of 12 in handicap (16/1) at Fairyhouse (13.7f, good) 15 days ago, plugging on straight after slowly away. Big step forward needed on that effort. Won over 2m on AW last November but others are more compelling than this Irish challenger.

LTO Selection:

A longer trip looks worth exploring for APPIER, who was eased towards the finish when scoring by a length and three-quarters over 1m4f at Lingfield last month. A 5lb penalty leaves him 2lb well-in and he can capitalise. Hadrianus attempts to take advantage of a drop in grade after struggling in the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot last week and is feared most, although the four-timer seeking Blow Your Horn is a big player under his penalty.

As is usually the case, this is a very competitive consolation race and BLOW YOUR HORN is selected bring up the 4-timer under a penalty having been faultless on the turf in June. Citizen General has returned an improved model this year, so Ed Dunlop's 4-y-o could be the one to give the selection most to think about, while Appier and Mostly Sunny are another couple who may well have a say in proceedings.

It is hard to look beyond BLOW YOUR HORN (nap), who is well treated under a penalty having comfortably completed a hat-trick last Sunday

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

Info	Form	Odds
1	4 1st (4) (1.5/1 +33%) City Of Troy	1.5 1.5/1(+33%)	(4) City Of Troy 1.5/1, Foaled March 7. Justify colt. Brother to smart winner up to 1¼m Bertinelli and half-brother to 3 winners, including 2-y-o 6f-7f winner Military Style. Makes plenty of appeal on paper and he's very much a newcomer to note for powerful connections. Dam won the Group 1 Fillies' Mile, strong contender as the sole runner for Ballydoyle.
2	5 2nd (5) (12/1 +33%) Galen	12 12/1(+33%)	(5) Galen 12/1, Foaled March 7. 55,000 gns yearling, Gleneagles colt. Dam, winner up to 7f (2-y-o 6f winner), half-sister to useful winner up to 10.3f Azmeel. Cost 55,000gns as a yearling, stablemate Rapid Mission was a much more expensive purchase.
3	7 3rd (7) (8.5/1 -70%) Instant Appeal	8.5 8.5/1(-70%)	(7) Instant Appeal 8.5/1, 20/1, showed fairly useful form when second of 14 in maiden at Leopardstown (7.3f, good) on debut 43 days ago. Open to improvement so fancied to be in the mix. 20-1 stable second-string when second over 7f at Leopardstown, this race looks stronger.
4	6 4th (6) (6.5/1 -30%) Huxley	6.5 6.5/1(-30%)	(6) Huxley 6.5/1, Highly promising individual. 7/2, seventh of 8 in maiden at this C&D (good) on debut 24 days ago, denied a run over 1f out and finishing with running left. Has plenty of scope to improve. Met trouble in running in race in which School Of Law was second, unwise to rule out.
5th	12 5th (12) (20/1 -82%) Slurricane	20 20/1(-82%)	(12) Slurricane 20/1, Promising type. Fifth of 8 in minor event at this course (6f, good, 50/1) on debut 24 days ago, pushed along 2f out and keeping on. Entitled to do better. Ran a bit green when set a tough task over C&D on debut, unlikely to be good enough here.
6th	11 6th (11) (3.5/1 +0%) School Of Law	3.5 3.5/1(+0%)	(11) School Of Law 3.5/1, Foaled February 26. 115,000 gns breeze-up buy who knew his job and showed fairly useful form when second of 8 in a C&D maiden 24 days ago. Likely to feature with a repeat. Second on debut, not a certainty to uphold form with Huxley who had little luck in running.
7th	10 7th (10) (9/1 +25%) Rapid Mission	9 9/1(+25%)	(10) Rapid Mission 9/1, Foaled March 21. 330,000 gns yearling, Frankel colt. Half-brother to 1¼m winner Mickey Mongoose. Dam, 7f-9f winner, half-sister to smart 1¼m winner Excellent Result. Noteworthy newcomer. Cost 330,000gns as a yearling, much the more expensive of two runners for Joseph O'Brien.

Still, this looks a warm enough introduction. Stable in good form but this one may not be able to match runners from the big yards here.

Dam unraced half-sister to smart winner up to 1½m Meleagros. Yard having good spell. Dam an unraced half-sister to two useful winners; yard's juveniles yet to shine this term.

Dam, German 1m winner, half-sister to smart German winner up to 1¾m Near England, won Deutsches St Leger. Dam German winner and half-sister to German Group 3 winner Near England, stable in form.

LTO Selection:

School Of Law showed the experience he gained from breezing when filling the runner-up berth over C&D, with Huxley slightly unfortunate further back, while Instant Appeal occupied the same position on his introduction, chasing home an impressive winner at Leopardstown. There is no substitute for actual race experience, but CITY OF TROY is an impeccably-bred newcomer from Ballydoyle and is fancied to strike at the first time of asking. Expensive Frankel colt Rapid Mission and Auguste Lumiere are other first-timers to consider.

This promises to prove an informative maiden and it could be worth chancing Donnacha O'Brien's HUXLEY. He shaped much better than the bare result in a C&D maiden on debut 24 days ago, denied a run over 1f out and noted finishing with running left and rates the type to improve significantly. Newcomer City of Troy is just one noteworthy newcomer, with School of Law and Slurricane others worth a look.

Only one runner for Ballydoyle here and the hint is worth taking. The superbly-bred CITY OF TROY may be tested by School Of Law

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (14/1 -17%) Audience	14 14/1(-17%)	(3) Audience 14/1, Smart gelding who gained a first success since his debut in 7f handicap at Leicester 8 months ago. Needs considering despite his lay-off with few miles still on the clock. Easy winner at Leicester when last seen; may be capable of further progress; interesting.
2	1 2nd (1) (4.5/1 +18%) Jumby	4.5 4.5/1(+18%)	(1) Jumby 4.5/1, Smart horse who comes here on a career-best win in 6-runner John of Gaunt Stakes at Haydock (7.2f) 21 days ago by 1½ lengths from The Astrologist. Can go well again. Won similar event at Haydock three weeks ago; smart but has to overcome 3lb penalty.
3	5 3rd (5) (3/1 +0%) Pogo	3 3/1(+0%)	(5) Pogo 3/1, Smart at his best but he's yet to fire this season, only 9¼ lengths tenth of 12 to Triple Time in Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot (125/1) 11 days ago. Took this event 12 months ago so he can't be totally discounted. Revival is possible, especially if he returns to front-running; won this race last year.
4	2 4th (2) (2.5/1 -53%) Aldaary	2.5 2.5/1(-53%)	(2) Aldaary 2.5/1, Improved in leaps and bounds in handicaps in 2021 and made a smooth transition to a higher grade when landing 6-runner listed race at Haydock (7.2f) by 3½ lengths from Bounce The Blues. Off for 14 months but still rates a player for his in-form yard. Progressive; 6-7 on ground softer than good; leading player granted ideal conditions.
5th	6 5th (6) (25/1 +0%) Sam Maximus	25 25/1(+0%)	(6) Sam Maximus 25/1, Smart colt. Off 8 months and not disgraced when 5 lengths sixth of 9 to Run To Freedom in listed race at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) 35 days ago. This course winner can take a step forward. Raced only at 6f; suited by this track, so could be involved if he stays the new trip.
6th	4 6th (4) (2.75/1 +39%) Berkshire Shadow	2.75 2.75/1(+39%)	(4) Berkshire Shadow 2.75/1, Kickstarted 2023 with 7f/1m AW victrories and confirmed himself smart when 5 lengths fifth of 12 to Triple Time in Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot 11 days ago. Shortlisted. In good form since being gelded; not disgraced in top 1m races the last twice; respected.

LTO Selection:

ALDAARY is unbeaten in his last three starts, with the latest of those victories coming at Haydock in a Listed contest in May last year. That performance earned him a rating of 116 and he looks the one to beat. Pogo took this race 12 months ago and will find this a lot easier than the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot last time, so he has to be considered, along with the recent John Of Gaunt victor Jumbly, who has William Buick booked.

Only six runners but not the easiest Group 3 to assess. ALDAARY was firmly on the up when last seen out so is taken to defy his long absence and extend his winning sequence to four for his in-form handler. Jumby has his fitness proven so is feared most on the back of a recent success in Haydock's John of Gaunt Stakes, while last year's winner Pogo can't be discounted despite failing to fire so far this term.

Aldaary holds leading claims granted ground softer than good. However, at bigger odds the suggestion is AUDIENCE.

4	4 (4) (6/1 +8%) Si Si Senor	6 6/1(+8%)	(4) Si Si Senor 6/1, 5/1, offered something to work on when third of 6 in maiden at Ayr (6f, firm) on debut 18 days ago. Promise when third on 6f Ayr debut; should be as effective at 5f; open to improvement.
1	8 1st (8) (5/1 +0%) Liv My Life	5 5/1(+0%)	(8) Liv My Life 5/1, Thrice-raced filly. Good claims on the form she showed when second at Salisbury in May but last of 6 back there since. Second at Salisbury in May; only sixth there 14 days later but may bounce back after break.
2	1 2nd (1) (4/1 +20%) Desert Master	4 4/1(+20%)	(1) Desert Master 4/1, Runner-up on first 2 starts but needs to shrug off a disappointing run last time. Disappointing latest but claims on his runner-up efforts on first two starts; well drawn.
3	5 3rd (5) (1.88/1 +25%) Etoile D'Alexandre	1.88 1.88/1(+25%)	(5) Etoile D'Alexandre 1.88/1, Promising sort. 18/1, fourth of 14 in novice at York (5f, good to firm) on debut 15 days ago, running on. Should improve. Promising fourth of 15 on 5f York debut 15 days ago; big player with improvement likely.
4	2 4th (2) (8.5/1 +58%) Jungle Jim	8.5 8.5/1(+58%)	(2) Jungle Jim 8.5/1, €45,000 2-y-o by Bungle Inthejungle colt. Dam lightly-raced half-sister to useful 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Royal Razalma out of useful 7f winner Twiggy's Sister. Worth a precautionary betting check. Cost 45,000euros earlier this year; the betting should help to ascertain expectations.
5th	6 5th (6) (20/1 -25%) Heroic Angel	20 20/1(-25%)	(6) Heroic Angel 20/1, Twice-raced filly. 20/1, stepped up on debut when seventh of 14 in novice at York (5f, good to firm) 15 days ago. May do better again. Showed ability at York last time but reopposing Etoile D'Alexandre was ahead in fourth.
6th	9 6th (9) (14/1 +30%) Malibu Sunrise	14 14/1(+30%)	(9) Malibu Sunrise 14/1, Twice-raced filly. 7/1, ninth of 12 in novice at Thirsk (6f, soft) 11 days ago. Showed a bit on 5f debut but well beaten over 6f at Thirsk last week.
7th	10 7th (10) (8.5/1 -13%) Riverview Law	8.5 8.5/1(-13%)	(10) Riverview Law 8.5/1, 17/2, second of 5 in maiden at Hamilton (5f, firm, 17/2) on debut 17 days ago. May do better. Form of 5f Hamilton debut second nothing special but she may progress.

LTO Selection:

LIV MY LIFE was well held in a very competitive event at Salisbury last time but her previous form suggests that she could be successful in a race of this nature. Etoile D'alexandre displayed plenty of promise on her debut at York last month and she could prove to be the main threat to the selection. Others to consider are Si Si Senor and Riverview Law.

There was plenty to like about ETOLIE D'ALEXANDRE's opening effort at York and she can strike at the second time of asking. Indication Spirit showed up well on last week's Hamilton debut and may give the selection most to do ahead of fellow Nick Bradley runner Riverview Law.

Declan Carroll won this race 12 months and might do so again with ETOILE D'ALEXANDRE, who shaped promisingly on her York debut.

Cheekpieces back on. Not taken lightly. Extended excellent record of placed returns at Royal Ascot; rarely seen on AW these days.
2	10 2nd (10) (4.5/1 -50%) Golden Rules	4.5 4.5/1(-50%)	(10) Golden Rules 4.5/1, 1 win from 1 run this year. First run since leaving John & Thady Gosden when winning 7-runner handicap (9/1) at Kempton (16f), always holding on. Off 108 days and this is tougher but not totally dismissed. 638 days off before better than ever to win from the front at Kempton (2m, AW) in March.
3	15 3rd (15) (22/1 +33%) Aztec Empire	22 22/1(+33%)	(15) Aztec Empire 22/1, Pair of AW wins at up to 2m at Kempton this year but having only his second outing on turf when a remote sixth on very testing ground at Newbury last month. Could bounce back. Looked promising three runs back (2m on Kempton AW) but two backward steps since.
4	17 4th (17) (4.5/1 +50%) Nathanael Greene	4.5 4.5/1(+50%)	(17) Nathanael Greene 4.5/1, Mainly on the up last season (a dual winner) and he has posted solid efforts at Ascot and Goodwood (14f) this May. Needs considering now his stamina is drawn out more. The cheekpieces return today for first time this term and 2m holds possibilities.
5th	8 5th (8) (6/1 +0%) Adjuvant	6 6/1(+0%)	(8) Adjuvant 6/1, 1 win from 2 runs this year. 5/2, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Newmarket (14f, good) 43 days ago, staying on well. Makes tapeta debut. Looks competitive on form despite a 4 lb rise. AW debut but 2m has to be worth a go on the latest evidence and the 4lb rise isn't harsh.
6th	2 6th (2) (25/1 -14%) Rainbow Dreamer	25 25/1(-14%)	(2) Rainbow Dreamer 25/1, Eleven wins from 39 Flat runs. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Won 9-runner minor event (10/1) at this C&D 85 days ago, suited by way race developed. Not discounted. Won big C&D race on Good Friday; fifth in this in 2020, fair bit better than 2021 and 2022.
7th	5 7th (5) (7.5/1 +25%) Omniscient	7.5 7.5/1(+25%)	(5) Omniscient 7.5/1, Progressive on the whole and was firmly back on the up when scoring readily at Southwell (1m4f) 9 months ago. Yard is among the winners so he's very much one to consider now stepping up to 2m. Set for further progress this season and the big question is over this extra 4f.
8th	16 8th (16) (50/1 +0%) Sir Chauvelin	50 50/1(+0%)	(16) Sir Chauvelin 50/1, 4-time course winner. Only tenth of 11 in handicap at Ayr (13.1f, firm, 50/1) 7 days ago but veteran is the sort to bounce back round here. 11yo; third in this in 2018, tailed off last two editions; soundly beaten last Saturday.
9th	11 9th (11) (18/1 -64%) Vino Victrix	18 18/1(-64%)	(11) Vino Victrix 18/1, Enjoyed a productive 2022 campaign, runner-up in Cesarewitch at Newmarket. Not disgraced when 11th in Chester Cup (18.6f, soft) 50 days ago and weighted to go well on his tapeta debut. Cesarewitch second; soft ground may well have been against him on both starts this term.
10th	13 10th (13) (40/1 +50%) Themaxwecan	40 40/1(+50%)	(13) Themaxwecan 40/1, Useful sort who has got back on track of late, twelfth of 19 in Ascot Stakes at Royal Ascot (20f, good, 40/1) 11 days ago. Not completely dismissed. Finished 17th and 12th in the last two editions of this race, both from stall 2.
11th	4 11th (4) (28/1 +15%) Berkshire Rocco	28 28/1(+15%)	(4) Berkshire Rocco 28/1, Latest win at Southwell in January. Bit below form tenth of 16 in handicap at Royal Ascot (14.2f, good, 25/1) 11 days ago. More is needed. Won on Southwell AW (2m) this January but his form has subsided somewhat since.
12th	19 12th (19) (100/1 +0%) Green Team	100 100/1(+0%)	(19) Green Team 100/1, Useful performer at best but comfortably held all 4 starts in Meydan this year for present stable and no upturn for return to these shores when well held at Ascot and Espom. Needs a big revival over new trip but he is down to a dangerous mark for this AW debut.
13th	18 13th (18) (66/1 +18%) Matchless	66 66/1(+18%)	(18) Matchless 66/1, 1 win from 2 runs this year. Latest win at Doncaster in May. 8/1, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Pontefract (12f, good to firm) 19 days ago, having run of race. Significantly up in trip but he's no forlorn hope. In good form, including 1m4f on Flat; acts on this track but 2m on Flat asks something new.
14th	7 14th (7) (8/1 -23%) Post Impressionist	8 8/1(-23%)	(7) Post Impressionist 8/1, Low-mileage Teofilo gelding who signed off for 2022 with a career-best win in 14-runner handicap at York (13.8f, good to soft) in October, forging clear. 8lb higher now and off 8 months but he's interesting with this step up to 2m a big plus. Shapes very much as if 2m will suit; open to further improvement on this reappearance.
15th	6 15th (6) (9/1 +0%) Zoffee	9 9/1(+0%)	(6) Zoffee 9/1, C&D winner. Good sixth of 19 in Ascot Stakes at Royal Ascot (20f, good, 16/1) 11 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Merits consideration off an unchanged mark. Won the Vase on this card last year in good style; no shortage of big-race credentials.
16th	20 16th (20) (33/1 +18%) Mountain Road	33 33/1(+18%)	(20) Mountain Road 33/1, Ended last season on the up, winning a pair of Chelmsford handicaps at up to 2m, but only sixth of seven in 2m Goodwood handicap last time. Needs to bounce back. Won on Chelmsford AW (2m/1m6f) on final two outings last term; not so good on turf in 2023.
17th	1 17th (1) (25/1 -14%) Rajinsky	25 25/1(-14%)	(1) Rajinsky 25/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Nottingham in April. Good fifth of 16 in handicap at Chester (18.6f, soft, 14/1) 50 days ago. Needs considering. Third and fourth in the last two runnings of this race; career-best form on latest outing.
18th	12 18th (12) (12/1 -9%) Law Of The Sea	12 12/1(-9%)	(12) Law Of The Sea 12/1, Good fourth of 19 in Ascot Stakes at Royal Ascot (20f, good) 11 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Cheekpieces back on. Can give another good account. Fourth in Chester Cup, second at Haydock and fourth over 2m4f at Royal Ascot; player.
19th	14 19th (14) (28/1 +15%) Good Show	28 28/1(+15%)	(14) Good Show 28/1, Latest win at Hamilton in May. Eighth of 10 in handicap at Haydock (11.8f, firm, 4/1) 21 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes tapeta debut with more required. Probably retains potential and stamina in pedigree, so very interesting on this AW debut.

LTO Selection:

ZOFFEE is only 2lb higher than when a neck second in the Chester Cup and he confirmed his well-being with an encouraging effort at Royal Ascot subsequently. The seven-year-old won the consolation race for this event 12 months ago and another good run can be expected. Calling The Wind finished in front of the selection when runner-up in the Ascot Stakes so cannot be discounted. Post Impressionist and Adjuvant are progressive four-year-olds who have to be of interest, while Law Of The Sea and Nathanael Greene complete the shortlist.

William Haggas' low-mileage 4-y-o POST IMPRESSIONIST signed off for 2022 with an emphatic York success and can take another sizeable step forward on his first go over 2m to claim his biggest prize yet. Sir Mark Prescott's returning Omniscient is another unexposed stayer going the right way and he rates a big threat, while Cesarewitch runner-up Vino Victrix is weighted to have a say if building on his Chester Cup eleventh. Adjuvant and Nathanael Greene complete the shortlist in a cracking Plate.

The high draw may complicate matters for Good Show, who is therefore second choice behind the in-form stayer LAW OF THE SEA.

In good hands at least and very much bred to be suited by this trip, so no surprise to see a better showing now handicapping. In good hands but tailed off in all three runs and goes handicapping with lots to prove.
2	3 2nd (3) (3.5/1 +42%) Dee's Dream	3.5 3.5/1(+42%)	(3) Dee's Dream 3.5/1, Respectable seventh of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 66/1) 19 days ago, ridden over 2f out and one paced. Steps up further in trip now. Comfortably held over 1m2f the last twice; unconvincing now sent even further.
3	4 3rd (4) (4/1 -14%) Highland Flyer	4 4/1(-14%)	(4) Highland Flyer 4/1, 8/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, firm) 3 days ago, plugging on. Not entirely dismissed stepping back up in trip. Laboured so far but he did keep on to be beaten about 4l at Bath on Wednesday.
4	1 4th (1) (10/1 -11%) Foinix	10 10/1(-11%)	(1) Foinix 10/1, Winner at Chelmsford in February. Eleventh of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 40/1) 19 days ago, ridden home turn and never a threat. Entitled to be sharper with that under his belt and better showing anticipated. 1-13, the win over 1m2f on Polytrack; poor in two runs on either side of three months off.
5th	2 5th (2) (2.25/1 -29%) Who Loves You Baby	2.25 2.25/1(-29%)	(2) Who Loves You Baby 2.25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 14/1, improved on exploits on maiden/novice events when second of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm) 17 days ago, no extra late on but nicely clear of the remainder. Expected to be bang there. A positive performance last time (second at Yarmouth) out is a big selling point here.
6th	6 6th (6) (8/1 +60%) Rhea Of The Year	8 8/1(+60%)	(6) Rhea Of The Year 8/1, 50/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Leicester (10f, good to firm) 33 days ago, losing her footing early and merely passing beaten rivals. Cheekpieces on for 1st time and another who needs to step up in any case to figure. Six-race maiden whose struggles have continued in three handicaps (1m/7f/1m2f).

LTO Selection:

WHO LOVES YOU BABY made a pleasing start to her handicap career when she was a clear second over 1m2f at Yarmouth, and she looks primed to offer a bold bid. John Ryan's runner has been raised 2lb in the ratings for that effort and that may prove lenient. Manxman has shown very little in his career to date but he may step up on his handicap bow, while Dee's Dream is another to note.

WHO LOVES YOU BABY showed much-improved form when just touched off on handicap debut at Yarmouth 3 days ago (nicely on top of the remainder) and she earns the vote to come out on top stepping up in trip. Manxman is far from living up to his pedigree but this longer trip could help now handicapping from a basement mark. Foinix can also feature.

Hardly the most exhilarating of starts to the card and recent Yarmouth runner-up WHO LOVES YOU BABY picks herself.

Open to progress and holds place claims. Flattered by 3/4l margin when second to Matrika on debut over C&D, Gunzburg fourth then.
6th	7 6th (7) (28/1 -27%) Miss Roberts	28 28/1(-27%)	(7) Miss Roberts 28/1, Twice-raced maiden. 16/5, fourth of 10 in maiden at Doncaster (6.5f, good to firm) 28 days ago. Yard having good spell but this is an uphill task. Second on debut, only fourth on Doncaster race won by Albany Stakes failure Carla's Way.
7th	5 7th (5) (33/1 -50%) Launch	33 33/1(-50%)	(5) Launch 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 9¾ lengths fourteenth of 26 to Crimson Advocate in Queen Mary Stakes (50/1) at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) 10 days ago. No forlorn hope. Good third behind Porta Fortuna at Naas, return to 6f should suit after Queen Mary bid.

LTO Selection:

Aidan O'Brien has won six of the last 10 renewals and MATRIKA can provide him with another success. The daughter of No Nay Never was denied victory in the Albany by just a length at the Royal meeting and she could be a class above her rivals here. Grand Job was beaten less than a length into second by the selection over C&D on debut so has to be feared, while Launch may have struggled in the Queen Mary but her previous third in a Naas Group 3 over this trip earns her a place on the shortlist.

Something of a mixed bag for this Group 2 and MATRIKA looks very much the way to go here on the back of her fine Albany Stakes second at Royal Ascot. Both Grand Job and Gunzburg look to have better days ahead of them and can chase home Aidan O'Brien's exciting No Nay Never filly in that order.

Albany Stakes runner-up MATRIKA has had only eight days to recover but will be a short price to confirm debut form with Grand Job

Sister to 7f/1m winner Nonchalance and half-sister to 7f-8.5f winner Romantic Song and 11f/11.6f winner New Comedy, both useful. Dam, 1m-1¼m winner, sister to useful winner Anjaz and half-sister to smart Giants Play. Makes obvious appeal. Dubawi filly who is one of two interesting newcomers for this powerful stable.
2	6 2nd (6) (6.5/1 -63%) Upscale	6.5 6.5/1(-63%)	(6) Upscale 6.5/1, Foaled January 30. Kingman filly. Dam, 7f winner (including at 2 yrs), half-sister to useful 10.3f winner (stayed 1¾m) Gustavus Vassa. Noteworthy newcomer. Nicely bred filly, by Kingman and the first foal of a 7f Group 3 winner; likely type.
3	2 3rd (2) (10/1 +0%) Crocus Time	10 10/1(+0%)	(2) Crocus Time 10/1, Acclamation filly who showed plenty of ability amidst greenness when third in a Thirsk novice (6f, soft) on debut 11 days ago, hanging left over 1f out. Should've derived plenty from that initial effort. Kept on for third over 6f at Thirsk; sister to a 7f 2yo winner; open to progress.
4	5 4th (5) (3/1 -20%) Race The Wind	3 3/1(-20%)	(5) Race The Wind 3/1, Foaled February 12. Too Darn Hot filly. Closely related to winner up to 1m Imperial Empire and 2-y-o 7f-1m winner Albahr and half-sister to very smart winner up to 1¼m Cascadian. Dam winner up to 9.5f (2-y-o 6.5f-1m winner). 1 of 2 for this yard. Filly by Too Darn Hot; stablemate of Dance Sequence; respected debutante.

6th	1 6th (1) (40/1 -21%) Calafrio	40 40/1(-21%)	(1) Calafrio 40/1, Le Brivido filly who showed a bit amidst greenness when fourth of 8 in maiden at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) on debut 19 days ago. Big step forward required. Kept on for fourth over 6f at Pontefract; related to a couple of 7f winners.

LTO Selection:

This could be dominated by the two Charlie Appleby-trained newcomers, with preference for DANCE SEQUENCE, who is the pick of William Buick. The daughter of Dubawi may be bred to excel over further in time, but this appeals as a good starting point. Race The Wind is also well bred and catches the eye. Upscale is the first foal out of Fred Darling winner Dandhu and she has to be of some interest. Crocus Time appeals most of those with experience after a promising third at Thirsk last month.

The pair with racecourse experience don't set a tall standard, so DANCE SEQUENCE is selected to make a winning start for the Appleby/Buick combination who will hope to leave what can only be described as an underwhelming June behind. Stablemate Race The Wind may emerge as the main danger, ahead of Upscale, but the market will no doubt provide plenty clues.

The Appleby fillies are hard to split on paper, regardless of riding arrangements. UPSCALE, for the Balding yard, is the suggestion.

This lightly-raced 3-y-o should have more to come. Back on the up when second on 1m4f Newbury handicap debut; likely more to come; player.
2	1 2nd (1) (3.5/1 +42%) Zealandia	3.5 3.5/1(+42%)	(1) Zealandia 3.5/1, Creditable 1¾ lengths fourth of 10 to The Nu Form Way in C&D handicap (good, 14/1) 35 days ago. On that evidence, he appears to be returning to the boil and he's one to consider. Won off 1lb higher last June; clear signs of revival over C&D latest; could go well.
3	4 3rd (4) (7/1 -8%) Natchez Trace	7 7/1(-8%)	(4) Natchez Trace 7/1, Career best when winning 12-runner handicap (9/2) at Southwell (1½m) 18 days ago. Only nudged up 2 lb and claims if in similar form. Took AW record to 3-7 when winning at Southwell recently but he's only 1-18 on turf.
4	5 4th (5) (6/1 +25%) Restorer	6 6/1(+25%)	(5) Restorer 6/1, Chester regular but losing run dates back to 2020. Creditable second of 8 over C&D 14 days ago but might be vulnerable to some of the younger legs in this line-up. This 11yo showed he can still make an impact from reduced mark when second over C&D latest.
5th	2 5th (2) (7/1 +30%) The Nu Form Way	7 7/1(+30%)	(2) The Nu Form Way 7/1, Won at Beverley in April and career best when adding to tally over C&D (Zealandia behind in fourth) in May. Badly hampered in the early stages back at Beverley since. Treated as if still in form. C&D winner in May; badly hampered early on at Beverley since and likely still in form.
6th	3 6th (3) (10/1 -100%) Croachill	10 10/1(-100%)	(3) Croachill 10/1, Creditable second of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (1¼m, good to firm, 3/1) 21 days ago, having run of race. Back up in trip. Not beaten far in 1m2f handicaps on fast turf last twice; thereabouts back up at 1m4f.
7th	8 7th (8) (5/1 +41%) Blue Universe	5 5/1(+41%)	(8) Blue Universe 5/1, Much improved on return from wind surgery when scoring at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in April. Failed to translate that improvement to turf since, though. First-time cheekpieces replace the blinkers worn last time. AW win in April but below that level on turf since; blinkers off, cheekpieces on.
8th	7 8th (7) (33/1 -200%) Paisano	33 33/1(-200%)	(7) Paisano 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Blinkered first time, weakened into fifth of 8 in maiden at Catterick (1½m, good to firm) on reappearance 37 days ago. Visor tried now. Makes handicap debut. Needs to get his career back on track. In good hands but has regressed since his debut; needs to get back on track now h'capping.

LTO Selection:

Natchez Trace has to be respected following his win at Southwell, but marginal preference is for SCINTILLANTE. Andrew Balding's colt put in a career best when second on his handicap debut at Newbury two weeks ago and he remains open to further progression. Restorer has made the frame on his last couple of starts and could do so once again, while similar comments apply to Croachill.

SCINTILLANTE shaped promisingly at Newbury last time and might be up to providing Andrew Balding with yet another Chester winner. Zealandia looked on the way back here last time and may give the selection most to do ahead of recent Southwell scorer Natchez Trace.

The one who stands out is SCINTILLANTE (nap) who could have more to offer on the back of his encouraging handicap debut at Newbury.

His last 2 runs have been a bit disappointing but it's possible a return to this venue will see him get back on track. Below best on Polytrack/turf the last twice but progressive on Tapeta previously; possible.
2	5 2nd (5) (4.5/1 +18%) Zip	4.5 4.5/1(+18%)	(5) Zip 4.5/1, Three-time C&D winner, the latest in January. Also successful at Southwell in February. Given a short break since his below-form twelfth of 22 in Victoria Cup at Ascot (7f, soft), ridden too aggressively. Capable of bouncing back. Mid-division in Victoria Cup last time but in top form on Tapeta earlier in the year.
3	4 3rd (4) (3.5/1 +46%) The Gatekeeper	3.5 3.5/1(+46%)	(4) The Gatekeeper 3.5/1, Made a winning return from long absence over C&D in March and went in again at Newmarket in May. Found Buckingham Palace all too much at Ascot last week but capable of making presence felt in these calmer waters. Down the field at Royal Ascot but won in good style over C&D in March on sole AW run.
4	3 4th (3) (4.5/1 +0%) Air To Air	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(3) Air To Air 4.5/1, Good second over C&D in January. Tongue strap on first time, not in the same form when last of 7 in handicap (11/1) at Newmarket (7f, good) 5 months later. Return to AW needs to help. Second over C&D two runs ago but has finished last on three of his last four starts.
5th	1 5th (1) (12/1 -20%) Lord Of The Lodge	12 12/1(-20%)	(1) Lord Of The Lodge 12/1, Smart AW performer. Best turf run for a long time when fourth of 19 in 7f York handicap in May but not in the same form back there since. A smart effort will be needed from his higher AW mark. Unable to threaten on turf of late but the AW is his thing nowadays and he's respected.
6th	7 6th (7) (4.5/1 +10%) Wobwobwob	4.5 4.5/1(+10%)	(7) Wobwobwob 4.5/1, Recorded a couple of creditable in-frame efforts on his return to action in April and shaped as if still in form when sixth at Chester latest. Back from a 7-week break with his yard going well. Contender under Marquand. Not seen to best effect at Chester latest but in fair form before; might not be far away.
7th	10 7th (10) (8.5/1 +39%) Utilis	8.5 8.5/1(+39%)	(10) Utilis 8.5/1, Achieved fairly useful form over 6f/7f at 2 without managing to get his head in front. Makes his reappearance in a competitive race against older and battle-hardened rivals. Betting perhaps the best guide. 0-6 in last year's 2yo campaign but showed considerable promise and is not ruled out.
8th	6 8th (6) (12/1 +0%) Marshal Dan	12 12/1(+0%)	(6) Marshal Dan 12/1, Needs to bounce back from below-par efforts on his last 2 outings but his stable's good record at this venue makes him a dangerous one to discount. Reappeared with good third at Redcar but beaten a long way on his last two starts.

LTO Selection:

ZIP was well held at Ascot last time but his previous form on the all-weather was very encouraging and he's only 1lb higher than when winning at Southwell in February. Air To Air is closely matched with the selection based on their meeting over C&D in January and he should not be discounted. Safe Voyage edges out Adeb and Wobwobwob to be best of the rest.

Perhaps former C&D scorer SAFE VOYAGE can roll back the years and resume winning ways on the back of a pair of good efforts in highly competitive handicaps on turf in May. Three-time C&D winner Zip was better than the result in the Victoria Cup at Ascot last time and can bounce back to form and provide the chief threat ahead of Wobwobwob, whose trainer Adrian Keatley has had his string in excellent form lately.

The veteran SAFE VOYAGE has run creditably in competitive turf handicaps on his last two starts and is taken to return to winning ways.

Half-brother to several winners, including 5f winners Free Love and Lydia's Place. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner. 37,000gns yearling; eighth foal; half-brother to five winners; watching brief best.

LTO Selection:

MACANUDO made a very pleasing start to his career when fourth on his racecourse debut over 7f at Haydock, and this looks like a nice opportunity to shed his maiden tag. Richard Hannon's runner didn't quite last home over the stiff 7f and this drop in trip is a big plus. Mercian Warrior ranks best of the debutants and he's one to take seriously, while Chiedozie also appears likely to improve for his debut effort.

CHIEDOZIE shaped much better than the bare result when mid-field in a C&D novice on debut last month, a big move to get into contention taking its toll late on, and this close relation of the stable's top-class sprinter Battaash can find the required improvement. Shagraan is another open to significant progress having shaped similarly in a decent Haydock maiden so is feared most ahead of Macanudo, who should be suited by the shorter trip given how he shaped first time up.

Macanudo holds obvious appeal but CHIEDOZIE ran okay here first time out from an awkward track position.

LTO Selection:

APACHE OUTLAW ran on well when beaten less than a length into fourth over 5f at this venue. This step up in trip is likely to be a positive and having been dropped 1lb, Joseph O'Brien's colt appears primed to offer a bold bid. Iva Batt will be dangerous based on the form of her penultimate effort, when second over C&D. Coumshingaun is also entitled to respect, with Dandyville and Parting Glass a couple more to take seriously.

APACHE OUTLAW shaped well on his 5f course handicap debut and should have more to offer back up at 6f so he might prove the answer to this competitive handicap. Second choice is Gordon Bennett who did so well in handicaps in the second half of last year and should be nicely primed for this after his Fairyhouse reappearance 3 weeks ago. The shortlist is completed by last year's winner Coumshingaun, who arrives on the back of 3 creditable placed efforts.

Group 2-placed at two and holding smart entries for later in the year APACHE OUTLAW may score here with the help of a 7lb allowance.

Chased home the smart Laurel on final 3-y-o start at Kempton in September and reappearance fourth of 11 in 1m Ascot handicap (soft) was encouraging. Should be more to come. Player. Lightly raced; performed well at Ascot on handicap/seasonal debut; possibilities.

LTO Selection:

Runner-up on both starts this season in races where the form has worked out very well, RAJINDRI deserves a change in luck and she may get it on this occasion. A mark of 78 on her handicap debut could underestimate Tom Clover's charge and she gets the vote ahead of the unexposed Royal Charter, as well as One Morning, who was an eye-catcher when awkwardly away at Ascot before running on late for fourth.

An interesting fillies' handicap. ROYAL CHARTER is selected to build on her promising handicap debut/reappearance run at Haydock with the step up to 1m likely to suit. One Morning shaped well in an Ascot handicap on her reappearance and should have more to offer so she's second choice. The unbeaten Dora Milaje and recent Newbury scorer Chealamy are others likely to have a say.

The vote goes to ROYAL CHARTER (nap), a course winner who should do better still. One Morning is second choice.

1	8 1st (8) (3.5/1 -5%) Roman Dragon	3.5 3.5/1(-5%)	(8) Roman Dragon 3.5/1, Three-time C&D winner who posted a respectable fourth of 10 in handicap here 14 days ago. Can make his presence felt off an easing mark. C&D winner; solid effort (behind Cuban Breeze) over C&D two weeks ago; shortlisted.
2	2 2nd (2) (5/1 +50%) Princess Shabnam	5 5/1(+50%)	(2) Princess Shabnam 5/1, Useful 6f winner but she arrives below par, tried in a hood when sixteenth of 27 in Wokingham Handicap (66/1) at Royal Ascot 7 days ago. More is required. Conditions should suit and this the weakest race she's tackled for a while; could revive.
3	1 3rd (1) (16/1 -88%) Hyperfocus	16 16/1(-88%)	(1) Hyperfocus 16/1, Veteran who resumed winning ways in style in 5f handicap at Ripon when last seen out in April. Back up in trip and not taken lightly off a 2 lb higher mark. Ripon win off 2lb lower in April (5f, soft); has C&D form; rain would aid his cause.
4	5 4th (5) (3/1 +54%) Cuban Breeze	3 3/1(+54%)	(5) Cuban Breeze 3/1, Yet to score this season but he arrives in good form, third of 10 in handicap over C&D 14 days ago. Visor replaces blinkers and this course winner needs considering. Competitive again in recent starts & she's well drawn this time; each-way claims at least.
5th	9 5th (9) (11/1 +21%) Hello Zabeel	11 11/1(+21%)	(9) Hello Zabeel 11/1, In excellent form for his current yard, scoring twice on the AW in the winter and posting another solid effort when fifth of 10 in handicap over C&D 14 days ago. 1 lb out of the handicap but ought to be in the shake-up. Not much to find with a couple of these on a recent C&D run; one to consider.
6th	10 6th (10) (9/1 +18%) Absolutelyflawless	9 9/1(+18%)	(10) Absolutelyflawless 9/1, Won at Wolverhampton (6f) in May and not seen to best effect when sixth of 8 in 5f handicap here 14 days ago. This course winner is in the picture off a 1 lb lower mark. On a fair mark and conditions should suit; one to consider from a handy draw.
7th	3 7th (3) (6/1 +0%) Whenthedealinsdone	6 6/1(+0%)	(3) Whenthedealinsdone 6/1, Useful 5f/6f winner who got back on track when second of 4 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm) 33 days ago. Can go well again off the same mark. On good mark and latest Windsor 2nd is his best run of the year; perhaps best at shorter.
8th	4 8th (4) (5.5/1 +15%) Aberama Gold	5.5 5.5/1(+15%)	(4) Aberama Gold 5.5/1, Arrives on a hat-trick after recent 6f wins at Wolverhampton and Hamilton. Form of latter success has been franked so another bold bid is anticipated off just a 2 lb higher mark here. Chasing hat-trick after 6f wins at Wolverhampton & Hamilton; lower draw preferable.

LTO Selection:

WHENTHEDEALINSDONE was only narrowly denied over 5f at Windsor last time and Roger Teal's five-year-old could be hard to stop off the same mark here. Hyperfocus is an obvious threat off just a 2lb higher rating than when winning at Ripon in April. A case can be made for all of the remaining field, but Aberama Gold and Cuban Breeze are arguably the pick of them.

Little between the principals in a useful sprint but ABERAMA GOLD arrives at the top of his game and with his Hamilton success having been franked so edges the vote. Whenthedealinsdone has slipped to a handy mark so is feared most having got back on track at Windsor last time. Hello Zabeel is another who can't be taken lightly in his bid for a third success since joining Charlie Fellowes and Ripon scorer Hyperfocus completes the shortlist.

Roman Dragon and CUBAN BREEZE may be the two to focus on and the latter can get off the mark for the year.

LTO Selection:

BATAL ZABEEL put in a promising display when third on his debut at York in May and Kevin Ryan's colt could be hard to stop with the benefit of that experience. Markakol failed to reward favourite-backers on his racecourse bow at Sandown but it is far too soon to be writing him off. Stanley Spencer is closely related to some high-class performers, including last year's Flying Childers winner Trillium, and is the pick of the newcomers.

MARKAKOL was too green to do himself justice at Sandown 2 weeks ago, but he's evidently held in high regard so is worth another chance in what looks an ordinary novice. Batal Zabeel fared best of the newcomers when third at York and is the obvious threat, with Stanley Spencer making the most appeal of the newcomers before market clues.

Batal Zabeel is feared but MARKAKOL is chanced in the hope he can leave his Sandown form behind him now he's hooded.

In very good hands and respected with prospect of more to come. Off the mark at Chester when merely pushed out to beat a respected rival by a length.
2	4 2nd (4) (0.8/1 +51%) Elnajmm	0.8 0.8/1(+51%)	(4) Elnajmm 0.8/1, Sea The Stars colt who showed plenty to work on when second behind a useful sort on debut at Kempton (7f) in November. Absent since but very much the type to improve and big shout with step up in trip entitled to suit. Lacks a run but should have a future given the promise of his debut form at Kempton.
3	7 3rd (7) (80/1 -21%) Magic Memories	80 80/1(-21%)	(7) Magic Memories 80/1, Twice-raced maiden. 20/1, went backwards from debut effort when ninth of 14 in minor event at Kempton (7f) 24 days ago, making little impression. Handicaps likely to be more his bag in due course. Twice well held and likely to come into his own when sent into handicaps.
4	9 4th (9) (12/1 -20%) Fakhra	12 12/1(-20%)	(9) Fakhra 12/1, Twice-raced maiden. Second of 11 in minor event at Wetherby (7f, good to firm, 4/7) 18 days ago, headway out wide over 2f out and keeping on. Needs to pull out a bit more if she's to open her account here. Beaten at odds-on last time and likely to have more on her plate here.
5th	8 5th (8) (5.5/1 +54%) Zodiac Star	5.5 5.5/1(+54%)	(8) Zodiac Star 5.5/1, Son of Kodiac who ran best race to date when third in an 11-runner Wolverhampton novice (8.6f) in November, no extra late on but clear of remainder. Gelded subsequently and no surprise to see him thereabouts on return. Beaten under 2l in all his novices last season from 7f to 8.6f, earning a BHA mark of 81.
6th	2 6th (2) (20/1 -11%) Troon	20 20/1(-11%)	(2) Troon 20/1, Looked potentially useful when making a winning debut at Kempton in October. Off 7 months and failed by a long chalk to match that form when eleventh of 12 in novice event at Newbury (7f, good) 43 days ago but he's not one to write off. Difficult to know what to expect but his debut promise is not forgotten.

Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful/ungenuine 5f/6f winner Nigel Nott and 2-y-o 6f winner Baileys Breathless. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner.

This should reveal more. Pulled hard and trailed home last on soft ground at Yarmouth (1m) in April; gelded since.
9th	10 9th (10) (100/1 -52%) Miss Bling Bling	100 100/1(-52%)	(10) Miss Bling Bling 100/1, Ribchester filly. Half-sister to useful 12.4f-16.6f winner Dubawi Fifty and 9f winner Luna d'Olanda. Dam unraced sister to St Leger winner Brian Boru. Probably best watched on racecourse debut. Decent pedigree but yard not renowned for debut winners.

LTO Selection:

Alsakib has a bright future and may well go on to eclipse May's success at Chester. However, there was something of a collapse in pace that day and he benefitted most from the way that race panned out. With that in mind, it may be worth siding with ELNAJMM, who ran green on debut at Kempton but left a favourable impression by staying on strongly near the finish. Fakhra and Jimmy Frankham also command attention.

ELNAJMM showed plenty to work on when runner-up behind a useful sort on debut at Kempton late last year and, with progress on the cards, he can build on that now and come out on top upped in trip. Jimmy Frankham and Alsakib are similarly improving types and feared, along with the returning Zodiac Star.

This has the look of a decent novice but the suggestion is JIMMY FRANKHAM after a highly encouraging run at Salisbury.

Posted a career best when winning 9-runner Dahlia Stakes at Newmarket (9f, soft) 55 days ago by 6 lengths from Al Husn, hard held. Sets a high standard. Last year's improvement strongly sustained with win in 1m1f Group 2 event at Newmarket.

Yard in good form. Tongue strap on 1st time. In the mix. Group 3 winner, tendency to race too keenly resurfaced in Group 2 at York on reappearance.
3	1 3rd (1) (3.2/1 -28%) Above The Curve	3.2 3.2/1(-28%)	(1) Above The Curve 3.2/1, Smart filly. 47/10, career best when winning 6-runner Prix Corrida at Saint-Cloud (10.4f, good) 34 days ago by 2 lengths from Mqse De Sevigne, comfortably. Yard having good spell. Firmly in the picture. Has top-class form in France, also Group 2 C&D winner, Ryan Moore's presence significant.
4	4 4th (4) (4/1 +27%) Rosscarbery	4 4/1(+27%)	(4) Rosscarbery 4/1, Smart mare who resumed with win in 8-runner Munster Oaks at Cork (12f, good to soft) 15 days ago by ½ length from Azazat, driven out. One for the shortlist. Strongly progressive form last year, did not have to be at best to win recent Group 3.
5th	6 5th (6) (25/1 +38%) Trevaunance	25 25/1(+38%)	(6) Trevaunance 25/1, Smart filly. 66/1, 9½ lengths last of 6 to Luxembourg in Tattersalls Gold Cup at this course (10.5f, good) 34 days ago so needs to bounce back. Best 2022 form in France, set stiff task in two appearances this season, same scenario now.

Yard having good spell but still very hard to make a case for. Behind Insinuendo when fourth in 1m Group 2 event here last time, yard's second-string.
7th	9 7th (9) (8.5/1 -70%) Never Ending Story	8.5 8.5/1(-70%)	(9) Never Ending Story 8.5/1, Smart filly. Course winner. Good 4 lengths second of 15 to Blue Rose Cen in Prix de Diane (16/1) at Chantilly (10.4f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Yard having good spell. Considered. Smart form linked to the brilliant Blue Rose Cen, Ryan Moore deserts for Above The Curve.
8th	3 8th (3) (16/1 +0%) Insinuendo	16 16/1(+0%)	(3) Insinuendo 16/1, Smart mare. Course winner. Respectable 3 lengths third of 8 to Just Beautiful in Lanwades Stud Stakes at this course (8f, good, 7/2) 34 days ago. Back up in trip. Hood back on. Uphill task here however. Admirable mare, won on seasonal debut, has been a little below the level of 2022 form.
9th	8 9th (8) (18/1 +18%) Comhra	18 18/1(+18%)	(8) Comhra 18/1, Smart filly. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, excellent 1½ lengths third of 10 to Tahiyra in Irish 1000 Guineas (150/1) at this course (8f, good) 34 days ago. Getting better with each recent run so not discounted. Looked limited at Pattern level until fine third behind Tahiyra in Irish 1,000 Guineas.

LTO Selection:

A fascinating contest, with quality running right through the field. Above The Curve and TREVAUNANCE renew rivalries after they encountered each other in the Mooresbridge Stakes on reappearance here in May. The latter fared slightly better of the two on that occasion and, returning to her own sex after a tough ask in the Tattersalls Gold Cup subsequently, Jessica Harrington's filly is worth chancing. Never Ending Story is also a must for consideration, with the improving Via Sistina respected too.

George Boughey's VIA SISTINA sets the bar high on the form of her easy Dahlia Stakes success at Newmarket last time and can fend off the home challengers, headed by Saint Cloud winner Above The Curve and Irish 1000 Guiness third Comhra.

It is telling that Ryan Moore rides ABOVE THE CURVE for the Coolmore team in preference to the Classic-placed Never Ending Story

Trip should suit, so she's the one to beat. First and second at 1m2f on good to firm in her two handicaps; 1m4f is plausible.

5th	5 5th (5) (7.5/1 +6%) Saisissante	7.5 7.5/1(+6%)	(5) Saisissante 7.5/1, 22/10, won 10-runner claimer at Saint-Cloud (9.9f, good to soft) 71 days ago. Up in trip. First run for yard after leaving V. Sartori. Opening BHA mark doesn't look insurmountable, so she's worth a market check. No certainty on pedigree to get 1m4f but she was on a roll at 1m2f (France) when last seen.
6th	3 6th (3) (28/1 -211%) Victoria Grove	28 28/1(-211%)	(3) Victoria Grove 28/1, Scored at Chelmsford City in October. First creditable effort since when third at Lingfield 3 weeks ago and could get involved if she's able to build on that. Back to form when close third of six at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) on latest outing.

LTO Selection:

SPRING FEVER got off the mark on her handicap debut at Redcar before filling the runner-up spot on her latest outing at Salisbury. She has gone up a combined total of 11lb for both of those efforts and there is every chance she can progress further on her first attempt over 1m4f. D Day Arvalenreeva went up 4lb for her first victory at Leicester and is open to more improvement, while Aiming High is capable of better following a below-par effort at Goodwood.

SPRING FEVER is firmly on the up and another step up in distance will probably draw further progress out of her, so she's preferred to D Day Arvalenreeva, who is also going the right way. Saisissante is probably the pick of the others.

Saisissante and Spring Fever step up from 1m2f with a chance but preference is for 1m4f winner D DAY ARVALENREEVA.

Creditable 5¼ lengths fifth of 16 to Cold Case in listed Two-Year-Old Trophy at Redcar (6f, good to soft) on final start. Been off for 9 months and it may pay to look elsewhere this time. Held her own in competitive handicaps last term but hasn't been seen for nine months.

Has been gelded ahead of this handicap debut after 74 days off. Too much to prove. Struggled in two starts in the spring and needs to get back on track after gelding op.

LTO Selection:

EQUATORIAL makes his handicap debut following an eyecatching performance when breaking his maiden at Salisbury last month. He kept on to score by four and a half lengths and left the impression there could be more to come. He gets the nod from Ararat, who has gone up 3lb for last week's success at Newmarket, while the grade-dropping Misty Blues rounds out the shortlist following a fair fifth in Redcar's Two Year Old Trophy on her final start of 2022.

A good 3-y-o handicap. ARARAT seemed suited to more positive tactics when getting off the mark in a 7f Newmarket handicap last weekend and might have got off lightly with a 3 lb rise. Equatorial should have more to offer on the back of his Salisbury novice win and is second choice ahead of Divine Libra.

Ararat should go well again but preference is for DIVINE LIBRA, who shaped well on his Newmarket handicap debut.

Makes tapeta debut with more needed. Won first two races; disappointing the next twice but things may click again at some point.
2	6 2nd (6) (6.5/1 -18%) Qaasid	6.5 6.5/1(-18%)	(6) Qaasid 6.5/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in February. Creditable third of 6 in handicap at Newmarket (10f, good, 9/2) 43 days ago. Can give another good account. Has continued to run well since winning over C&D in February; could be thereabouts.
3	8 3rd (8) (6.5/1 +35%) Innse Gall	6.5 6.5/1(+35%)	(8) Innse Gall 6.5/1, Creditable third of 8 in handicap (11/2) at Ayr (10f, good) 38 days ago. Bit more is still needed though. Runner-up over C&D in March and good third at Ayr last time; could be in the mix.
4	2 4th (2) (4.5/1 +25%) Thundering	4.5 4.5/1(+25%)	(2) Thundering 4.5/1, Course winner. 10/1, last of 15 in handicap at York (11.8f, good to firm) 45 days ago so needs to bounce back. Course winner who is well treated on last season's best but hasn't shone this season.
5th	1 5th (1) (40/1 -43%) Mr Curiosity	40 40/1(-43%)	(1) Mr Curiosity 40/1, First run since leaving Charlie Fellowes when below form eighth of 21 in handicap at Doncaster (11.9f, heavy, 66/1). Off 7 months. Has work to do. Didn't run badly in November Handicap on sole stable start but he's been off again since.
6th	5 6th (5) (5.5/1 -57%) Persist	5.5 5.5/1(-57%)	(5) Persist 5.5/1, Creditable sixth of 13 in handicap at Newmarket (10f, good, 7/1), slowly away. Off 9 months so needs to hit the ground running. Well-bred, lightly raced 4yo who could have more to offer if able to break more alertly.
7th	7 7th (7) (8.5/1 +29%) Cockalorum	8.5 8.5/1(+29%)	(7) Cockalorum 8.5/1, 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Latest win at Ripon in June. Good fifth of 10 in handicap (11/2) at Pontefract (10f, good) 6 days ago. Needs considering. Won two in a row at Ripon and has continued in good form; might not be far away.
8th	9 8th (9) (5.5/1 -72%) Shimmering Sands	5.5 5.5/1(-72%)	(9) Shimmering Sands 5.5/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, career best when winning 6-runner handicap (9/4) at Doncaster (10.2f, good to firm) 28 days ago with plenty in hand. Big shout on AW debut. Did it very readily at Doncaster and a 6lb rise could underestimate his dominance.

LTO Selection:

Several have decent chances and the likes of Cockalorum, who has been placed twice from three starts at this circuit, and Innse Gall, who has also proven to be effective on the Tapeta here, are not to be underestimated. However, PERSIST makes most appeal as she was really consistent last year and shaped well off this mark in a deeper race at Newmarket last October.

SHIMMERING SANDS ran out an easy winner at Doncaster and can follow up if proving as good on tapeta. Qaasid is feared most, ahead of Cockalorum.

A 6lb rise may not be enough to stop SHIMMERING SANDS following his very cosy win at Doncaster last time and he can follow up.

1	3 1st (3) (3/1 +10%) Sudden Ambush	3 3/1(+10%)	(3) Sudden Ambush 3/1, Doubled career tally at Goodwood (1m) in May, well positioned but displaying a fine attitude to narrowly prevail. 5/2, sixth of 7 in handicap at Sandown (9f, good to firm) 14 days ago, the longer trip possibly stretching him. Not out of things. Didn't get home over 1m1f latest but a mile looks his trip; mark is high, mind.
2	1 2nd (1) (10/1 -25%) Sly Madam	10 10/1(-25%)	(1) Sly Madam 10/1, Much sharper for return when resuming winning ways over C&D in April. Mixed bag subsequently but best not judged too harshly on her latest run in big field handicap at Royal Ascot 10 days ago (not clear run straight). Not out of things. C&D winner in April; this 6lb higher mark is beginning to look troublesome.
3	2 3rd (2) (1.25/1 +58%) Farasi Lane	1.25 1.25/1(+58%)	(2) Farasi Lane 1.25/1, Latest win at Southwell in March. Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at this course (10f, good to firm, 4/1) 26 days ago, steady headway final 1f without threatening. Refitted visor may put an extra edge on him back at 1m. On a dangerous mark and 1m2f has looked a stretch in three of his last four runs.
4	5 4th (5) (5/1 -67%) Peace Of Mine	5 5/1(-67%)	(5) Peace Of Mine 5/1, Lightly raced winner as a juvenile who resumed progress to make winning return at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy) in April. Clearly not herself when well-beaten last of 8 in handicap at Ascot (10f) a month later but bounce back distinctly possible returning from 7 weeks off. Went off a bit hot and stopped quickly when relinquishing her unbeaten turf record.
5th	4 5th (4) (5/1 -67%) Snapcracklepop	5 5/1(-67%)	(4) Snapcracklepop 5/1, C&D winner. Blinkered for 1st time, respectable third of 14 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 11/2) 17 days ago, faring best of those held up. Possibilities from this workable mark. In peak form at end of 2022 and has finished closer in each of his three runs this term.

LTO Selection:

PEACE OF MINE possibly paid the price for going off too quickly when she failed to give her running at Ascot in May and, given she had previously looked progressive, she may be worth another chance here. As a three-year-old filly, she is favoured by the weights and dropping her back in trip looks a good move. Farasi Lane and Snapcracklepop both have respectable form at this circuit and are feared most.

SNAPCRACKLEPOP fared best of those held up when third in a Kempton handicap (1m) 17 days ago and, back on turf, he shades the vote to confirm his mark a workable one. Farasi Lane heads up the dangers, ahead of Sudden Ambush.

Here's hoping there's sufficient pace on for FARASI LANE to deliver a telling blow. He's on a fair mark and returns to his best trip.

Info	Form	Odds
1	2 1st (2) (6/1 +20%) Mashhoor	6 6/1(+20%)	(2) Mashhoor 6/1, Smart gelding. Career best when winning 6-runner listed race at this course (12f, good, 2/1) 35 days ago by 1½ lengths from Annerville, staying on well. This is more demanding but he's clearly progressive and should give it a good shot. Stays 1m4f well so the drop back in trip against this calibre of horse could be a negative.
2	4 2nd (4) (0.83/1 +31%) Al Riffa	0.83 0.83/1(+31%)	(4) Al Riffa 0.83/1, Thrice-raced winner. Won 6-runner National Stakes (9/1) at this course (7f, heavy) by 1¼ lengths from Proud And Regal on final 2-y-o start. Bred to relish this step up in trip and, with improvement likely, he will be hard to beat if fully tuned-up for this. Belated start to his season having missed the Irish 2,000 Guineas; the one to beat.
3	5 3rd (5) (4/1 +0%) Alfred Munnings	4 4/1(+0%)	(5) Alfred Munnings 4/1, Twice-raced winner. 11/8, 6 lengths sixth of 13 to Holloway Boy in Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm) when last seen 12 months ago. Needs to take a big step forward but he's an intriguing contender given his yard and potential. Not seen since a disappointing favourite in the Chesham a year ago; intriguing runner.
4	1 4th (1) (4.5/1 -35%) Layfayette	4.5 4.5/1(-35%)	(1) Layfayette 4.5/1, Smart gelding. C&D winner. Eight wins from 29 Flat runs. 15/8, didn't need to be at best when winning 11-runner listed race at Limerick (12.5f, good) 8 days ago by ¾ length from Term of Endearment. Leading claims. This is a decent Group 3 and likely to come up just short but sure to run his race.
5th	3 5th (3) (16/1 +0%) Self Belief	16 16/1(+0%)	(3) Self Belief 16/1, Lightly-raced winner. Course winner. Hooded for 1st time, 13½ lengths fourth of 5 to Point Lonsdale in Alleged Stakes at this C&D (heavy, 10/3) 76 days ago. Others preferred. Best form is with an ease; best of her form though leaves her with a little bit to find.

LTO Selection:

AL RIFFA readily accounted for some high-class rivals when taking the Group 1 National Stakes here on his final start as a two-year-old. The son of Wootton Bassett could be hard to stop if reproducing that level of form on his return. That said, Alfred Munnings looked to have a bright future when winning on debut last season and he should not be underestimated. Layfayette rarely runs poorly at this level and is another to note.

Provided he's ready to roll for this belated seasonal reappearance AL RIFFA will take plenty of stopping. He looked an exciting prospect when coming from last to first to land the Group 1 National Stakes over 7f here on his final 2-y-o start and bring plenty of potential for middle distances this season. The consistent Layfayette regained the winning thread at Limerick recently and is second choice ahead of the progressive Mashhoor.

This should be all about last year's top juvenile AL RIFFA on a slightly belated debut with this trip likely to be in his favour

1	4 1st (4) (8/1 +27%) Therapist	8 8/1(+27%)	(4) Therapist 8/1, Placed all 3 starts at 2 yrs and again in the money when third to the useful Infinite Cosmos in a maiden on the other course here (1¼m, good) in May. Rather disappointing at Carlisle since, though, and improvement needed now pitched into a handicap. Disappointing last time but consistent otherwise and may bounce back; handicap debut.
2	6 2nd (6) (3.33/1 +5%) Zara's Return	3.33 3.33/1(+5%)	(6) Zara's Return 3.33/1, Improved when opening her account on the Rowley Mile (1m, good) 3 starts back. Further progress upped to this trip recently at Sandown where she made all for a decisive success and while a 7 lb rise demands more, she has to be feared with William Buick in the hot-seat. Recent form includes a couple of wins, latest at Sandown where she beat Serengeti Sunset.
3	8 3rd (8) (25/1 +0%) Wintercrack	25 25/1(+0%)	(8) Wintercrack 25/1, Made it third time lucky when landing a Leicester maiden over this trip in April. No surprise that she struggled in the Cheshire Oaks next time but it's hard to excuse her subsequent handicap debut no-show. Not solid on form; chance partly depends on how well she responds to first-time hood.
4	5 4th (5) (3/1 +14%) Blueflagflyinghigh	3 3/1(+14%)	(5) Blueflagflyinghigh 3/1, Respectable fifth of 12 upped to this trip in a Beverley handicap on return in May. Much-improved when subsequently scoring at Ripon (9.8f, good to firm) recently and this 5 lb higher mark may well be within reach. Suited by switch to front-running tactics at Ripon last week; may build on that win.
5th	2 5th (2) (7.5/1 +6%) V Twelve	7.5 7.5/1(+6%)	(2) V Twelve 7.5/1, Signed off 2022 on a winning note at Windsor (1¼m, good to soft), following which he was gelded. Stepped up on low-key reappearance when fourth of 9 at Salisbury and, though not in the same form next time, a bold show could be on the way back at this trip off a reduced mark. Sole attempt over 1m2f resulted in soft-ground win last October; interesting.
6th	1 6th (1) (40/1 -60%) Total Lockdown	40 40/1(-60%)	(1) Total Lockdown 40/1, Off the mark when sharing the spoils in a C&D handicap off 2 lb lower last summer but he's hard to recommend on the back of an inauspicious reappearance display at Yarmouth. Dead-heated in similar event over C&D last August; finished last on reappearance.
7th	7 7th (7) (4/1 -20%) Dog Fox	4 4/1(-20%)	(7) Dog Fox 4/1, Gelded during the winter and much-improved upped to this trip in handicaps with the aid of headgear this season, scoring at Yarmouth and Haydock on first 2 starts of the campaign. Failed in hat-trick bid at Chepstow but that race may have come too soon and he remains of interest. Has form figures of 113 in handicaps; disappointing last time but not written off.
8th	9 8th (9) (9/1 -64%) Serengeti Sunset	9 9/1(-64%)	(9) Serengeti Sunset 9/1, Arguably posted her best effort in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Sandown where he was beaten 3 lengths into second by Zara's Return. Meets that rival on 6 lb better terms here and could have a part to play, particularly if settling better this time. Finished 3l second to Zara's Return last time; now gets 6lb pull with that rival.
9th	3 9th (3) (10/1 +17%) Niarbyl Bay	10 10/1(+17%)	(3) Niarbyl Bay 10/1, Fair third in an AW maiden on third and final start of 2022, and wasn't disgraced when fourth on return/handicap debut at Bath (10.2f, soft) in May. However, that effort hardly represented a step forward and he will need to take one here if he's to get competitive. Unexposed sort who made an encouraging handicap debut at Bath two months ago.

LTO Selection:

ZARA'S RETURN produced a career-best performance when tackling this distance for the first time at Sandown last month and the daughter of Zarak could well have more to offer, despite a 7lb rise from the handicapper. Serengeti Sunset was runner-up in the aforementioned contest and meets the selection on 6lb better terms, while Dog Fox has improved since being stepped up in trip, having already won twice this season, and he completes the shortlist.

The vote in this competitive handicap goes to V TWELVE, who was successful at Windsor off 1 lb higher on his sole previous start over this trip and, judged on this season's efforts at around 1½m, dropping back to this distance could be just the ticket. Despite his odds-on failure when bidding for the hat-trick last time, Dog Fox remains of interest and is second choice ahead of recent Ripon winner Blueflagflyinghigh. Sandown 1-2 Zara's Return and Serengeti Sunset need considering, too.

Several runners are appealing. Narrow first choice is V TWELVE, ahead of Blueflagflyinghigh then Niarbyl Bay.

Promising debut at Lingfield in Nov (1m, AW); less good next time but retains potential.
2	7 2nd (7) (4.5/1 +47%) Maremma	4.5 4.5/1(+47%)	(7) Maremma 4.5/1, Stepped forward from her debut when fifth at Yarmouth 17 days ago, nearest finish under a considerate ride. Expected to improve further, so she's not a forlorn hope. Better run at the 2nd attempt when close 5th at Yarmouth latest; more to come; contender.
3	8 3rd (8) (1/1 +75%) O G Beachwear	1 1/1(+75%)	(8) O G Beachwear 1/1, Fair form both starts to date, fourth in a novice over C&D a month ago. Should give her running again but looks vulnerable. Promise in both starts, including over C&D five weeks ago; more to come; major player.
4	3 4th (3) (4/1 -14%) Cobalt Blue	4 4/1(-14%)	(3) Cobalt Blue 4/1, Runner-up twice at 2 yrs but has produced a couple of tame efforts so far this term and has something to prove as a result. Big chance on his 2yo form but he has been well beaten in two Class 4 handicaps this year.
5th	6 5th (6) (100/1 +33%) Dalatara	100 100/1(+33%)	(6) Dalatara 100/1, Little encouragement on both starts to date and looks up against it again. Well beaten in two runs this summer; bred to need more of a stamina test.
6th	5 6th (5) (40/1 +39%) Boniato	40 40/1(+39%)	(5) Boniato 40/1, Signs of ability on both starts but looks more of a handicap type. Whiff of promise in two runs last month but she will need a marked step forward to win.
4	4 \|U\| (4) (66/1 +67%) Woody's Angel	66 66/1(+67%)	(4) Woody's Angel 66/1, Has a modest pedigree and showed nothing at Wolverhampton 5 days ago. Hard to fancy. 150-1 and offered little short-term promise at Wolverhampton on Monday (7f, AW); no appeal.

LTO Selection:

Only narrowly denied on the all-weather when last seen in February 2022, PARLANDO rates the one to beat on his comeback. A game winner at Leicester on his racecourse debut in October 2021, the son of Dubawi was bought out of the Charlie Appleby yard for 105,000 pounds earlier this year and he can get the better of O G Beachwear, who finished a fair fourth over C&D in May. The unraced Many A Year completes the shortlist.

MANY A YEAR has an appealing pedigree and his stable isn't averse to debut winners, so he's worth taking a chance on even if it's taken him a while to reach the track. Parlando is an obvious danger if the market vibes are positive after 16 months off and Princess Niyla can't be ruled out.

Maremma should go well but O G BEACHWEAR can confirm the promise of her C&D fourth five weeks ago.

3	6 3rd (6) (6/1 +25%) King Of Unicorns	6 6/1(+25%)	(6) King Of Unicorns 6/1, Only fifth of 8 in handicap (13/2) at Pontefract (12f, good) 36 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Third in this last year; fair reappearance run in May and has each-way possibilities.
4	7 4th (7) (10/1 +38%) Glasses Up	10 10/1(+38%)	(7) Glasses Up 10/1, Twenty four runs since last win in 2021 and below-par fifth of 8 in handicap at Pontefract (12f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Others appeal more. Some fair performances this season but more needed if he's to snap lengthy losing sequence.
5th	10 5th (10) (16/1 -33%) Golden Vintage	16 16/1(-33%)	(10) Golden Vintage 16/1, C&D winner. Winner here in January. 25/1, creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 12 days ago. Can give a good account. Won over C&D in January; fair fifth at Wolverhampton recently but needs something extra.
6th	4 6th (4) (18/1 -50%) Vallamorey	18 18/1(-50%)	(4) Vallamorey 18/1, Lightly-raced winner on Flat. Winner at Doncaster in April. Fifteenth of 18 in handicap at York (11.8f, good to firm, 14/1) 45 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Flopped at York but impressive on handicap debut at Doncaster previously and not ruled out.
7th	2 7th (2) (66/1 -230%) Very Excellent	66 66/1(-230%)	(2) Very Excellent 66/1, Last of 8 in handicap at Redcar (10f, good, 28/1) 33 days ago. Back up in trip. Makes tapeta debut with more to do. 150-1 third at Wetherby in May but well beaten at Redcar since.
8th	11 8th (11) (8/1 -14%) Billy Bathgate	8 8/1(-14%)	(11) Billy Bathgate 8/1, Finally got off the mark in 7-runner handicap at Ayr (13.1f, firm, 7/2) 18 days ago. Well in the mix despite a 3 lb rise. First win at 24th attempt at Ayr recently and that may have given his confidence a boost.
9th	12 9th (12) (18/1 +55%) Explorers Way	18 18/1(+55%)	(12) Explorers Way 18/1, Eighth of 10 in handicap at Haydock (10.2f, good to firm, 18/1) 7 days ago. Back up in trip. Tongue strap on for 1st time with work to do. Has struggled to get competitive this year; major turnaround is needed now in a tongue-tie.
10th	9 10th (9) (4.5/1 +0%) The Dancing Poet	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(9) The Dancing Poet 4.5/1, Creditable second of 8 in handicap (6/1) at Doncaster (14.5f, good to firm) 28 days ago. One for the shortlist. Close second at Doncaster last time and that form has been franked by the winner.
11th	5 11th (5) (7.5/1 +32%) Ri Na Farraige	7.5 7.5/1(+32%)	(5) Ri Na Farraige 7.5/1, Course winner. Winner here in February. 14/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Pontefract (10f, good to soft) 59 days ago. Up in trip so can't be discounted. Won in good style over C&D in February but not at the same level on his two runs since.

LTO Selection:

LEXINGTON KNIGHT has held his form lately and, off just 3lb higher than last month's Doncaster success, he is a strong fancy to cope with top weight in this company. Richard Hannon's gelding has been admirably consistent since being fitted with a tongue-tie and this looks well within his reach given the resurgent form posted this season. Billy Bathgate and The Dancing Poet both get plenty of weight from the selection and may give him the most to think about.

LEXINGTON KNIGHT remains on a workable mark raised only 1 lb for his very good Thirsk second so is fancied to quickly resume winning ways at the chief expense of Billy Bathgate who could now build on his breakthrough Ayr success. In-form pair Golden Vintage and The Dancing Poet complete the shortlist.

Not many of these appeal. The consistent topweight LEXINGTON KNIGHT arrives in fine form and is preferred over The Dancing Poet.

Creditable third of 9 in handicap at Sandown (10f, good, 15/2) 15 days ago. Return to this venue a likely plus but still to prove himself as effective at this trip. Course winner; found out in a Class 3 at Sandown last time and this looks tougher again.
2	9 2nd (9) (20/1 -25%) Cardano	20 20/1(-25%)	(9) Cardano 20/1, Useful handicapper for Ian Williams who shaped as if better for the run on return/yard debut when midfield in Queen Mother's Cup last month. Given a chance by the handicapper if he can build on that turned out relatively quickly. Poor when confined to two runs last year; again below par on his recent return.
3	2 3rd (2) (2.25/1 +0%) Educator	2.25 2.25/1(+0%)	(2) Educator 2.25/1, Low-mileage 4-y-o who has stepped up with each outing so far this campaign, catching the eye when second in 14-runner Kempton handicap (12f) 24 days ago, finishing well having conceded first run. Big player back on turf. Has still to win since gelded but it's looking a matter of time after his latest near miss.

5th	7 5th (7) (3.33/1 +0%) City Streak	3.33 3.33/1(+0%)	(7) City Streak 3.33/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Chester in May. 9/2, good second of 9 in Zetland Gold Cup at Redcar (10f, good) 33 days ago, running on. Can make presence felt. Likeably consistent and it was probably a PB when a shade unfortunate at Redcar latest.
6th	4 6th (4) (4.5/1 +0%) The Whipmaster	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(4) The Whipmaster 4.5/1, Improved model last season, rattling off quick-fire 4-timer from 6 lb higher mark in this race 12 months ago. Stepped up markedly on reappearance run when bolting up in a C&D handicap 3 weeks ago and possibilities now he's back in the groove. Last year's winner who won convincingly over C&D 19 days ago; up 6lb but a player.
7th	5 7th (5) (40/1 -43%) Cosmic Desert	40 40/1(-43%)	(5) Cosmic Desert 40/1, 10f winner for Charlie Appleby who changed hands for £100,000 in the autumn but ultimately shaped as if he wasn't quite right when last of 10 on return at Haydock (11.8f) 3 weeks ago, eased final 1f. This should reveal more. Good for Godolphin but was sold on for £100,000; tailed off on stable debut.

LTO Selection:

Educator was only narrowly denied over 1m4f at Kempton last month and the gelded son of Deep Impact left the impression there would be more to come. However, it could pay to side with CITY STREAK, who arrives in this following a creditable second over 1m2f at Redcar in May. He has gone up 1lb for that which may not be enough to hold him back. Youthful King is another to bear in mind.

EDUCATOR arrives on the back of a very eye-catching run at Kempton 24 days ago, conceding first run/not clear run but ultimately finishing off well to finish second. He shades the vote to confirm his mark a workable one back on turf. Zetland Gold Cup runner-up City Streak may well emerge as the chief threat back up in trip, with last year's and recent C&D winner The Whipmaster also in the mix.

A good handicap. Educator has to be feared but CITY STREAK (nap) ran really well at Redcar last time and that looks strong form.

Info	Form	Odds
1	8 1st (8) (33/1 -32%) Alanya	33 33/1(-32%)	(8) Alanya 33/1, 31/10, fifth of 7 in minor event at Toulouse (10.4f, soft). Off 15 months. First run for yard after leaving P. Sogorb. Makes handicap debut. Best watched. French import best watched on his stable debut unless the market indicates otherwise.
2	7 2nd (7) (28/1 -12%) Higher Kingdom	28 28/1(-12%)	(7) Higher Kingdom 28/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Dundalk in March. Respectable seventh of 13 in handicap (25/1) at Leopardstown (9f, good) 23 days ago. Not completely dismissed. Mid-division at Leopardstown on his return to turf this month and others look more likely.
3	2 3rd (2) (12/1 +40%) Jungle Cove	12 12/1(+40%)	(2) Jungle Cove 12/1, Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Epsom (12f, good to firm, 9/1) 28 days ago, slowly away. Stable having good spell. Respected. Some encouragement from his fourth in a handicap at Epsom four weeks ago; others preferred.
4	11 4th (11) (9/1 +10%) Lord Vader	9 9/1(+10%)	(11) Lord Vader 9/1, Good fourth of 16 in handicap at Limerick (8f, soft, 20/1) 70 days ago, nearest finish. Up in trip. Tongue strap on 1st time. One to be interested in. Yet to run beyond a mile but of obvious interest from this stable; tongue-tie tried.
5th	4 5th (4) (7.5/1 +32%) Longbourn	7.5 7.5/1(+32%)	(4) Longbourn 7.5/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Third of 13 in handicap (8/1) at Leopardstown (9f, good) 23 days ago. Likely to be thereabouts. Would have been closer with luck in running in a Leopardstown handicap early this month.
6th	14 6th (14) (7.5/1 +32%) Yokkell	7.5 7.5/1(+32%)	(14) Yokkell 7.5/1, Creditable second of 11 in handicap (5/2) at Leopardstown (9f, good) 16 days ago. Not discounted. Tipperary handicap winner in August; not out of the three in five runs since; big player.
7th	3 7th (3) (6/1 +14%) Dancing Tango	6 6/1(+14%)	(3) Dancing Tango 6/1, Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Fairyhouse (10f, good, 5/1) 30 days ago, well on top finish. Readily landed a Fairyhouse handicap at the start of the month; unlikely to be far away.
8th	1 8th (1) (4.5/1 -29%) Goodie Two Shoes	4.5 4.5/1(-29%)	(1) Goodie Two Shoes 4.5/1, Thrice-raced winner on Flat. 28/1, fell in Solerina Mares Novices' Hurdle at Fairyhouse (18.5f, soft) 154 days ago won by Ashroe Diamond. Looked highly promising on the Flat last year and capable of making a successful start in handicaps. Clearly runs well fresh and has the class to defy the weight if she is close to her best.
9th	12 9th (12) (8/1 +33%) Pachmena	8 8/1(+33%)	(12) Pachmena 8/1, One win from 33 Flat runs. Creditable second of 8 in handicap (5/1) at Ballinrobe (12.8f, good) 5 days ago, finishing well. Back down in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Should remain competitive. Good run at Ballinrobe on Monday in a 1m5f handicap and the stable is in terrific form.
10th	15 10th (15) (14/1 +50%) Draco Pulchrac	14 14/1(+50%)	(15) Draco Pulchrac 14/1, 50/1, good sixth of 17 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, good) 23 days ago. Back up in trip. Not a forlorn hope. Not a bad run over an inadequate trip at Leopardstown this month; not without a chance.
11th	9 11th (9) (16/1 -129%) Coill Na Sionainne	16 16/1(-129%)	(9) Coill Na Sionainne 16/1, Nineteen runs since last win in 2021. Good second of 13 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f, good, 5/1) 23 days ago. Enters calculations. Had a few of these behind when runner-up in a Leopardstown handicap; each-way chance again.
12th	10 12th (10) (10/1 +29%) Believe In Science	10 10/1(+29%)	(10) Believe In Science 10/1, Very good third of 14 in handicap (13/2) at Leopardstown (12.8f, good) 23 days ago, having run of race. Back down in trip. Trainer going well. Can make presence felt. Staying third in a 1m5f Leopardstown handicap this month; more needed here though.
13th	13 13th (13) (7.5/1 +58%) Roman Bull	7.5 7.5/1(+58%)	(13) Roman Bull 7.5/1, 4/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f). Off 99 days. Respected. Off since March and others look more likely but not one to dismiss.
14th	5 14th (5) (50/1 -355%) In From The Cold	50 50/1(-355%)	(5) In From The Cold 50/1, Sixth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (17.3f, good, 6/1) 13 days ago, not ideally placed. Fairly useful on the Flat, won on last Flat run and still well treated on old form. Won a Sligo handicap last month; soundly beaten in a Downpatrick handicap hurdle since.
15th	6 15th (6) (80/1 -60%) Charcor	80 80/1(-60%)	(6) Charcor 80/1, 40/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f, good) 23 days ago. Hard to fancy. No encouragement from runs in a Punchestown handicap hurdle and a Leopardstown handicap.

LTO Selection:

Goodie Two Shoes makes plenty of appeal on her return to the Flat, with her last appearance in this sphere seeing her finish down the field in a Listed contest at Leopardstown. Her stable companion Dancing Tango ran out a comfortable winner at Fairyhouse and the winning margin may well have underestimated the authority of that success. The vote, though, goes to LORD VADER. He caught the eye on his second start for Emmet Mullins when fourth at Limerick in April and the extra couple of furlongs appear likely to see him take another step forward.

GOODIE TWO SHOES looked a good prospect in winning her first two starts last year before running respectably up in grade. She hasn't come up to expectations over hurdles since but looks well worth a chance to get back on track returned to the level with Rachael Blackmore on board. Stablemate Dancing Tango looks the chief danger and Lord Vader is worthy of interest up in trip.

There was a lot to like about the return effort of DRACO PULCHRAC over 1m at Leopardstown. She could be the answer

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (2.5/1 -33%) Military Two Step	2.5 2.5/1(-33%)	(1) Military Two Step 2.5/1, Won twice in 2022 and made the frame on the all-weather first 2 starts this year. Right back on track in first-time blinkers when fourth at Goodwood last time and she's won over C&D before. Solid claims from a handy mark. Interesting off a workable mark with return to 2m looking ideal; C&D winner in 2021.
2	2 2nd (2) (1.88/1 +25%) Malakahna	1.88 1.88/1(+25%)	(2) Malakahna 1.88/1, Won at Ascot and Newmarket on her final 2 starts in 2022. Returned to Flat with a solid showing when third over C&D a fortnight ago and looks set to give another good account. Met traffic issues on her way to finishing third over C&D two weeks ago; possibilities.
3	6 3rd (6) (8/1 +43%) Buxted Reel	8 8/1(+43%)	(6) Buxted Reel 8/1, Gained reward for his consistency when getting off the mark at Wolverhampton (12.2f) last August. However, down the field so far this season and arrives with a bit to prove. Well treated granted a revival and this new trip is worth exploring.
4	5 4th (5) (6/1 +50%) Tigerten	6 6/1(+50%)	(5) Tigerten 6/1, First run since leaving Ian Williams when tenth of 11 in handicap (11/1) at Beverley (12.1f, good to firm) 20 days ago, slowly away. Had been in good form prior to that and step back up in trip should help, so not completely dismissed. This step back up in distance looks a plus on second start for new yard.
5th	3 5th (3) (5.5/1 -57%) El Borracho	5.5 5.5/1(-57%)	(3) El Borracho 5.5/1, Capitalised on a reduced mark from the front at Thirsk in May and shaped as if still in form over hurdles since. Remains well treated on old form, so makes appeal. Seen only rarely on Flat in recent years but won at Thirsk on most recent attempt.
6th	4 6th (4) (18/1 +45%) Mancini	18 18/1(+45%)	(4) Mancini 18/1, Losing run goes back to 2020 and ran poorly on final outing for Ian Williams 8 months ago. Likely to need this return, so others make more appeal. On a three-year losing spell and lacks recent match practice; stable debut.
7th	9 7th (9) (16/1 +52%) Fandabidozi	16 16/1(+52%)	(9) Fandabidozi 16/1, Out of form when last seen on the Flat and, while he ran well over hurdles recently, he's hard to make a solid case for from out of the weights. Respectable third in this race 12 months ago; 11lb out of weights this time.

LTO Selection:

MALAKAHNA didn't enjoy much luck in running when third over C&D last month, but is worth another chance off the same mark. The Ian Williams-trained mare has been consistent when tried on the Flat and, given the ground conditions shouldn't present any problems, there are solid foundations to expect a bold effort. C&D winner Military Two Step is feared most, although El Borracho and Tigerten, a former stablemate of the selection, are also respected.

MILITARY TWO STEP is on an appealing mark and arrives on the back of a creditable effort, so she's taken to notch up another C&D win under a rider who excels at this track. El Borracho is a big danger and Malakhana can't be ignored.

The two suggestions against the field are MALAKAHNA and Buxted Reel who both represent last year's winning yard.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
3	3 (3) (33/1 +0%) Crimson Sand	33 33/1(+0%)	(3) Crimson Sand 33/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. 20/1 and hooded for 1st time, last of 10 in handicap at this course (6f, heavy) in April, seeming unsuited by conditions. Better showing anticipated back from a short break returned to the minimum trip. Has only won on the AW but capable on turf; had excuses here last time.
1	4 1st (4) (6.5/1 +46%) Glamorous Breeze	6.5 6.5/1(+46%)	(4) Glamorous Breeze 6.5/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in May. Second of 3 in handicap (11/8) at Bath (5f, firm) 22 days ago, unable to reel one in who had the run of things. This rates tougher in any case. Another fair run in a three-runner race at Bath latest and she's hard to knock.
2	8 2nd (8) (18/1 -80%) Woolhampton	18 18/1(-80%)	(8) Woolhampton 18/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in March. 4/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Goodwood (5f, good) 8 days ago, not knocked about. Blinkers on 1st time but step back up to 6f may be worth exploring. Useful 2yo and could be on a fair mark should blinkers liven her up.
3	1 3rd (1) (4/1 -20%) Swayze	4 4/1(-20%)	(1) Swayze 4/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this year, bouncing back from a lesser effort to score at Haydock (5f) in May. Shade underwhelming when fourth of 7 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 19 days ago. Forecast quicker ground here a plus and better showing anticipated. Paid the price for his clearcut Haydock win (5f, good to firm) with a 7lb rise.
4	5 4th (5) (4/1 +27%) Isle Of Lismore	4 4/1(+27%)	(5) Isle Of Lismore 4/1, C&D winner who fared best of the rest behind an easy winner on his latest outing over C&D 3 weeks ago, headway over 1f out and staying on. Versatile as regards ground and entitled to be thereabouts again. Solid claims in current form, though has mostly steered clear of fast ground..
5th	7 5th (7) (2.5/1 +17%) Ferrous	2.5 2.5/1(+17%)	(7) Ferrous 2.5/1, 7/2, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Goodwood (5f, good to firm) 35 days ago, keeping on well. Remains unexposed at the minimum trip and he's of interest again from 5 lb higher. 5lb higher than at Goodwood but he's a lightly raced sprinter on the upgrade.
6th	2 6th (2) (8/1 -23%) Spring Bloom	8 8/1(-23%)	(2) Spring Bloom 8/1, Dual C&D winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Newmarket in May. 20/1, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Epsom (6f, good to firm) 28 days ago, uncomfortable with pace and never involved. Likely type to bounce back. Slow start did for him last time at Epsom (6f) but 5f is more his bag; well drawn.
7th	6 7th (6) (6/1 -9%) Vespasian	6 6/1(-9%)	(6) Vespasian 6/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Chester (5.1f, good, 7/1) 14 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Looks competitive on form. Consistent during his losing sequence but his mark hasn't really moved anywhere.

LTO Selection:

FERROUS appreciated a drop in class when scoring at Goodwood on his latest start and Jack Channon's inmate rates the one to beat off 5lb higher. He finished a creditable third in deeper waters at Newmarket on his penultimate run and further progression cannot be ruled out. Isle Of Lismore has been knocking on the door of late and can give the selection plenty to think about, while Swayze is another to consider.

A comfortable winner on his penultimate start at Haydock, SWAYZE may have found underfoot conditions against him over C&D on his latest start 3 weeks ago. The return to this forecast quicker ground rates a plus here and a better showing can be anticipated. Goodwood-scorer Ferrous and Spring Bloom head up the dangers, along with Isle of Lismore.

An open sprint. FERROUS is a lightly raced sprinter heading in the right direction and his recent form stacks up well.

7	7 (7) (40/1 -21%) Let's Avit	40 40/1(-21%)	(7) Let's Avit 40/1, €16,000 yearling, Anodin gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to very smart winner up to 1m (stayed 1¼m) Sinawann from family of Derby/Irish Derby winner Sinndar. Ffrom a good Aga Khan family and may improve over time; one of two stable newcomers here.
1	15 1st (15) (11/1 +50%) Pink Sorrel	11 11/1(+50%)	(15) Pink Sorrel 11/1, Thrice-raced filly. 18/1, eleventh of 20 in maiden at Naas (8f, good) 56 days ago. Hard to fancy. Good third in a Punchestown maiden in September but well beaten twice since.
2	8 2nd (8) (20/1 +0%) Parish Centre	20 20/1(+0%)	(8) Parish Centre 20/1, Thrice-raced gelding. 33/1, fifth of 10 in maiden at Naas (8f, good to firm) 3 days ago. Remains with potential, so not completely ruled out. More likely to be effective in handicaps but could well run a decent race here.
3	13 3rd (13) (16/1 +20%) Ghost Dance	16 16/1(+20%)	(13) Ghost Dance 16/1, €20,000 yearling, Sioux Nation filly. Dam 6.5f/7f winner. Not an obvious sort on paper. Should appreciate the trip and the stable well capable of having one ready first-time up.

5th	14 5th (14) (28/1 -56%) Neowise	28 28/1(-56%)	(14) Neowise 28/1, Thrice-raced filly. Eighth of 11 in maiden (9/2) at Gowran (7f, good) 26 days ago, slowly away. Others make more appeal. Close second in a soft ground Gowran maiden in May; not as effective there on good ground.
6th	10 6th (10) (6/1 +45%) Reclaim	6 6/1(+45%)	(10) Reclaim 6/1, €100,000 yearling, Aclaim colt. Half-brother to useful winner up to 1¼m Qatar Man and 5f/6f winner Theriverrunsdeep. Dam lightly raced in US. Worth a market check. Looked a nice type when winning a Naas barrier trial in May and worth a market check.
7th	11 7th (11) (2.5/1 +29%) Space Age	2.5 2.5/1(+29%)	(11) Space Age 2.5/1, Thrice-raced gelding. Second of 8 in maiden at this course (7f, good to soft, 10/1) 36 days ago, running on late. Likely to be on the premises again. Narrowly beaten in a 7f maiden here in May on good ground; leading claims.
8th	4 8th (4) (125/1 -150%) Gardone	125 125/1(-150%)	(4) Gardone 125/1, Once-raced gelding. Eighth of 9 in maiden at Dundalk (8f, 33/1) on debut. Off 6 months. Down the field in a Dundalk maiden in December and gelded since; unlikely to be involved.
9th	12 9th (12) (2/1 -6%) Expelliarmus	2 2/1(-6%)	(12) Expelliarmus 2/1, Promising sort. Third of 9 in maiden at Navan (10f, good to soft, 5/1) 20 days ago, slowly away. Likely to improve. Drop back in trip here not a positive on Navan evidence, but clearly has some talent.
10th	6 10th (6) (80/1 -142%) Hot Moon	80 80/1(-142%)	(6) Hot Moon 80/1, Once-raced gelding. 40/1, sixth of 10 in maiden at Fairyhouse (6f, good) on debut 30 days ago. Significantly up in trip. May do better. Not a bad effort on debut in a Fairyhouse maiden in early June; more needed.
11th	3 11th (3) (200/1 -203%) Capernoity	200 200/1(-203%)	(3) Capernoity 200/1, Twice-raced gelding. Ninth of 10 in maiden (125/1) at Naas (8f, good to firm) 3 days ago. Soundly beaten in two maidens, most recently at Naas on Wednesday; makes little appeal.
12th	9 12th (9) (5/1 +38%) Pittsford	5 5/1(+38%)	(9) Pittsford 5/1, Promising sort. Seventh of 12 in maiden at this course (10f, good, 9/1) on debut 35 days ago. Should have learned plenty from that, so he's open to improvement. Eye-catching debut; could be capable of above average progression and get involved here.
13th	1 13th (1) (50/1 -52%) Altitudeadjustment	50 50/1(-52%)	(1) Altitudeadjustment 50/1, Fascinating Rock gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including very smart 5f winner Wizz Kid and smart 7.5f-1¼m winner Mustaheel. Interesting on paper, so interesting to see if he attracts any support. Mixture of speed and stamina in his pedigree but likely best watched.
14th	2 14th (2) (20/1 -100%) Beyond The Steps	20 20/1(-100%)	(2) Beyond The Steps 20/1, Once-raced colt. Tongue strap on, seventh of 8 in maiden (7/1) at this course (7f, good to soft) on debut 36 days ago. Others preferred. Failed to figure on debut in a 7f maiden here last month; probably better than that.

LTO Selection:

EXPELLIARMUS was a massive eye-catcher on her first start of the season at Navan over 1m2f, as she made her way through the field late to claim third in highly-promising display. She could progress again for that run and could be the one to side with in this contest. The main threat might be Space Age, who steps up to a mile after being denied by a neck in second at this track over 7f last time and should be involved again, while Neowise could put her latest effort behind her to have a say.

EXPELLIARMUS improved markedly from her debut and was better than the result when third in a Navan maiden last time, so she's a confident choice to open her account at the likely expense of Space Age. Pittsford is likely to benefit from his initial experience at this course, so he's expected to get closer this time.

One that could be capable of plenty of improvement after an eye-catching run here last time is PITTSFORD and he could go close

1	4 1st (4) (2/1 +33%) Robusto	2 2/1(+33%)	(4) Robusto 2/1, Very much appealed as a typical type from the yard to run up a sequence after making a winning handicap debut at Salisbury in May but did no more than match that form when third at Catterick last time, Could easily get back on the up. Salisbury winner who still has potential but he needs to resume his progress back on AW.
2	3 2nd (3) (6/1 +76%) Climate Precedent	6 6/1(+76%)	(3) Climate Precedent 6/1, Second at Wolverhampton in March but hasn't proved particularly progressive and arrives on the back of a below-par effort at Yarmouth. Stepped up in trip but others make more appeal. Eight-race maiden who was well below form last time and is untried at this trip.
3	1 3rd (1) (11/1 -120%) Bush Rose	11 11/1(-120%)	(1) Bush Rose 11/1, Only modest form in a trio of maidens, albeit prominent in the market on her first 2 starts. Bred to stay this far, but would need to improve for the longer trip to make a winning handicap debut. Hood on 1st time. Unexposed handicap newcomer but she needs improvement on this step up to 1m4f; hood added.
4	7 4th (7) (22/1 -83%) Ectocross	22 22/1(-83%)	(7) Ectocross 22/1, Winner over 10f here in March. Has slipped below last winning mark but recent efforts leave something to be desired, only ninth of 11 in handicap at this course (10f, AW, 15/2) 9 days ago. Won over 1m2f here in March but has been disappointing since; plenty to prove.
5th	5 5th (5) (12/1 +0%) Papa Ricco	12 12/1(+0%)	(5) Papa Ricco 12/1, Much improved for the step up in trip/switch to handicapping when winning at Nottingham in April. Laboured effort at Beverley on next start, though, and was 6¾ lengths last of 4 to Robusto in handicap at Salisbury (12f, good to firm, 4/1) 35 days ago. Bit to prove now. Won at Nottingham in April but he was well held behind Robusto at Salisbury last time.
6th	8 6th (8) (5.5/1 -57%) Philos	5.5 5.5/1(-57%)	(8) Philos 5.5/1, Seen to good effect from the front when winning 8-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 7/4) in May before following up in similar fashion over C&D (AW) 9 days ago. Likely he'll get an easy lead again and he can't be discounted with good-value claimer aboard. Hat-trick seeker who won over C&D last time and is open to more progress; key player.
7th	6 7th (6) (3.33/1 +26%) Mysterious Maestro	3.33 3.33/1(+26%)	(6) Mysterious Maestro 3.33/1, Shaped well when fifth of 13 in handicap (11/1) at this course (10f, AW) 19 days ago, finishing with running left after meeting trouble. Was an expensive purchase and represents good yard, so could have even more to come. Eyecatching fifth over 1m2f here last time and he looks interesting over this longer trip.
8th	2 8th (2) (16/1 -220%) Surge	16 16/1(-220%)	(2) Surge 16/1, Best effort in novice/maiden company when staying on gradually to finish fifth at Newcastle (10.2f) in May. Very much looks the type to improve in handicaps and merits plenty of respect. Has good pedigree and looks possible improver up in trip on handicap debut; market useful.

LTO Selection:

Philos arrives here seeking a hat-trick after wins at Wolverhampton and, most recently, over C&D. Another bold bid can be expected, but he has been given another 4lb rise in the ratings for that half-length success which may leave him susceptible to some better treated rivals, such as MYSTERIOUS MAESTRO. Simon and Ed Crisford's charge ran on strongly last time over 1m2f at this venue where he was beaten just two lengths and this step up in trip is likely to suit. Robusto completes the shortlist.

Several with sound claims, though MYSTERIOUS MAESTRO perhaps makes most appeal, with the Crisford's gelding appearing to now be gradually getting the hang of things. Robusto failed to immediately progress at Caterick last time but is given another chance to improve, whilst hat-trick seeking Philos and handicap-debutante Surge are others that merit serious consideration.

Hat-trick seeker Philos is respected but MYSTERIOUS MAESTRO gets the vote after his eyecatching effort here last time.

2	16 2nd (16) (8/1 +33%) Extensio	8 8/1(+33%)	(16) Extensio 8/1, Course winner. Creditable second of 14 in handicap (6/1) at Leopardstown (15f, good) 16 days ago, no match for winner. Can make presence felt. Staying second in a 1m7f handicap at Leopardstown last month; could go close.
3	2 3rd (2) (11/1 -38%) Almuhit	11 11/1(-38%)	(2) Almuhit 11/1, 16/1, good second of 10 in handicap at this course (14f, good) 24 days ago. Heading back in the right direction recently. Step up to 2m should be right up his street and looks a live contender here.
4	13 4th (13) (8.5/1 +29%) Marvelosa	8.5 8.5/1(+29%)	(13) Marvelosa 8.5/1, Winner at Sligo in May. Creditable third of 8 in handicap at Ballinrobe (12.8f, good, 10/3) 5 days ago. Up in trip. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Seemed to stay 1m5f at Ballinrobe on Monday; can be a factor if she sees out this trip.
5th	8 5th (8) (7/1 +36%) Sheishybrid	7 7/1(+36%)	(8) Sheishybrid 7/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at this course (14f, good, 12/1) 24 days ago. Enters calculations. Could well come on for her latest with a useful 7lb claimer aboard and the stable in form.
6th	11 6th (11) (4.5/1 +59%) Immelmann	4.5 4.5/1(+59%)	(11) Immelmann 4.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Blinkered for 1st time, respectable third of 7 in minor event at Chelmsford City (10f, 4/1). First run for yard after leaving Simon & Ed Crisford. Makes handicap debut. Making a belated debut for Closutton here; absence is unlikely to be an issue; interesting.
7th	3 7th (3) (4.5/1 +0%) Newfoundland	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(3) Newfoundland 4.5/1, 7/2, creditable sixth of 18 in handicap at this course (14f, good) 34 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Open to improvement. Cheekpieces tried and Moore stays on board; could go close on his first try at the trip.
8th	9 8th (9) (33/1 -450%) Foveros	33 33/1(-450%)	(9) Foveros 33/1, C&D winner. 33/1, below form tenth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Galway (22.8f, heavy). Off 11 months. Poor on last Flat outing. Five-time winner not seen well beaten in two of the big handicaps at Galway last summer.
9th	12 9th (12) (33/1 -83%) Kendancer	33 33/1(-83%)	(12) Kendancer 33/1, Fair winner at 18f over hurdles. 33/1, creditable fifth of 12 in minor event at Listowel (13f, good) 27 days ago, slowly away. Up in trip. Not easy to make a case for. Not much to recommend since returning in April from 16 months off; others preferred.
10th	17 10th (17) (5/1 +9%) Grappa Nonino	5 5/1(+9%)	(17) Grappa Nonino 5/1, 1 win from 2 runs this year. 11/4, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Killarney (16.8f, good to soft) 46 days ago. Killarney winner 3lb wrong here but a thorough stayer and not to be underestimated.
11th	5 11th (5) (25/1 +38%) Ted Hastings	25 25/1(+38%)	(5) Ted Hastings 25/1, Fairly useful jumps winner. Thrice-raced winner on Flat. Fairly useful winner at 20f over hurdles. 28/1, fifteenth of 18 in handicap at this course (14f, good) 34 days ago. Others have achieved more. Four-time winner over hurdles but off the boil in two Flat runs in May; much more needed.
12th	6 12th (6) (40/1 +0%) Line Out	40 40/1(+0%)	(6) Line Out 40/1, Lightly-raced winner on Flat. Off 20 months. First run for yard after leaving John E. Kiely. Others more persuasive. Not seen since convincingly landing the Irish Cesarewitch in 2021; just 6lb higher now.
13th	14 13th (14) (28/1 +44%) Coventry	28 28/1(+44%)	(14) Coventry 28/1, Ninth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (21f, heavy, 8/1) 93 days ago, racing lazily. Off 93 days. Blinkers on for 1st time in this code. Poor on last Flat outing. Stays well but lost his way over hurdles last season and hard to recommend.
14th	15 14th (15) (28/1 +0%) Crystal Caves	28 28/1(+0%)	(15) Crystal Caves 28/1, First run since leaving William Haggas when respectable fourth of 12 in handicap (10/1) at Fairyhouse (13.7f, good) 15 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Has to prove she stays the trip but could be one to sneak into a place if she does.
15th	1 15th (1) (28/1 +0%) Magellan Strait	28 28/1(+0%)	(1) Magellan Strait 28/1, 11/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Leopardstown (12f, good) 43 days ago, left poorly placed. Tongue strap on 1st time, cheekpieces on 1st time. Needs a couple of these to falter. Never really got involved at Leopardstown in May; step up in trip could well suit.
16th	4 16th (4) (20/1 -43%) Kingswear	20 20/1(-43%)	(4) Kingswear 20/1, Creditable sixth of 13 in handicap (15/2) at Cork (12f, soft) 15 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Not taken lightly. Only beaten a couple of lengths in the Cork Derby last time and interesting upped in trip.

LTO Selection:

A tricky staying handicap puzzle for punters to solve, but there was a lot to like about the way ALMUHIT stayed on well for a close second over 1m6f here when he had Sheishybrid (fourth) and Firstman (sixth) in arrears. Off the same mark, and with the extra yardage helping, Denis Hogan's gelding is just preferred to Foveros, a C&D winner who looks feasibly treated on his return from a layoff for last year's winning trainer. Willie Mullins also saddles the lightly-raced Immelmann, who is open to any amount of improvement now stepped up markedly in trip, while last-time-out Killarney scorer Grappa Nonino warrants respect for the yard that won this in 2020 and 2021.

The lightly-raced IMMELMANN is a fascinating contender on debut for the Willie Mullins yard over this new trip. He showed plenty of ability in a handful of appearances at up to 11.5f for the Crisfords in Britain, his mark for this handicap debut looks a fair one and while a 616-day absence would usually be off-putting, Mullins is a pastmaster at getting one ready on the back of a lengthy layoff. Newfoundland, who sports first-time cheekpieces, is feared most ahead of Almuhit and Extensio.

The vote goes to EXTENSIO, winner of the Ladies Derby last year and handled the step up in trip well at Leopardstown last time

1	2 1st (2) (14/1 -27%) Fravanco	14 14/1(-27%)	(2) Fravanco 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden on Flat. Seventh of 8 in minor event at Lingfield (9f, good to firm, 18/1) 32 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Needs a couple of these to falter. Down the field in two bumpers and three Flat runs; needs improvement on his handicap debut.
2	11 2nd (11) (4.5/1 +10%) Optik	4.5 4.5/1(+10%)	(11) Optik 4.5/1, Visored for 1st time, creditable second of 11 in handicap at this C&D (AW, 9/1) 9 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Good second over C&D (Zebra Star third) last week and has claims if he can back that up.
3	1 3rd (1) (3/1 +33%) Platinum Prince	3 3/1(+33%)	(1) Platinum Prince 3/1, Unreliable type. Won 3 times last season, including when awarded race over C&D. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (11f, 7/2) 17 days ago, though failed to see through finishing effort. Others preferred. C&D winner who ran creditably at Kempton last time; dangerous back down in trip.
4	4 4th (4) (7/1 -8%) Handel	7 7/1(-8%)	(4) Handel 7/1, Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. 4/1, another creditable effort when third of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good to firm) 38 days ago, despite missing the break. Up in trip. Enters calculations. 0-19 but he's run well in his last two starts and is respected on this step up to 1m2f.
5th	6 5th (6) (20/1 +0%) Codswallop	20 20/1(+0%)	(6) Codswallop 20/1, Ended 2022 with a pair of poor efforts and hasn't beaten a rival in 2 starts this season, so is very hard to have faith in at present. Disappointing since his Nottingham win last June and has a lot to prove back on AW.
6th	3 6th (3) (40/1 +20%) Delvey	40 40/1(+20%)	(3) Delvey 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Ran moody race when last of 11 in handicap (18/1) at Kempton (11f). Off 175 days. Hard to fancy. Has struggled in both her handicaps and has plenty to prove back from 175 days off.
7th	5 7th (5) (5.5/1 -38%) Third Batch	5.5 5.5/1(-38%)	(5) Third Batch 5.5/1, Again ran well when third of 11 in maiden at Chelmsford City (10f) 9 days ago, finishing strongly. Expected to be bang there back in a handicap. Back to form with good placed efforts on Polytrack (1m2f) in last two runs; dangerous.
8th	7 8th (7) (7/1 +0%) Zebra Star	7 7/1(+0%)	(7) Zebra Star 7/1, Got back on the up from a reduced mark when third of 11 in handicap (33/1) at this C&D (AW) 9 days ago, nearest finish. Still potentially well treated on pick of last season's efforts. Unexposed at this trip and she caught the eye with her strong finish over C&D last week.
9th	9 9th (9) (100/1 +0%) Royal Design	100 100/1(+0%)	(9) Royal Design 100/1, Well held in maiden and 2 handicaps this season and needs to leave that form well behind to figure prominently here. Well held in all five runs and she needs this step up to 1m2f to make a big difference.
10th	10 10th (10) (5.5/1 +45%) Gasman	5.5 5.5/1(+45%)	(10) Gasman 5.5/1, Formerly trained by Seamus Durack, ran respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Salisbury (9.9f, good to soft, 5/2) on stable debut in May. Ran too badly to be true at Bath last time, so worth market check with tongue strap back on. 0-7 and he flopped with a heavy defeat at Bath last time; others are more convincing.
11th	8 11th (8) (20/1 -150%) Gilded Moon	20 20/1(-150%)	(8) Gilded Moon 20/1, C&D winner in January. 13/2, ran creditably when third of 5 in handicap at Brighton (9.9f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Holds solid frame claims. C&D winner but her progress has stalled and she needs to find more back on AW.

LTO Selection:

OPTIK has been running consistently well of late, finishing second in each of his last three starts, and this looks like a good opportunity for him to go one better off the same mark. Platinum Prince is fancied to offer the sternest resistance after not much going his way last time over 1m3f at Kempton, while Handel is another to note.

The highest-drawn pair make most appeal here, with the three-year-old THIRD BATCH fancied to build on a couple of promising placed efforts to get off the mark. Handel is a long-standing maiden but is going through a good spell at present and should be in the mix, whilst Zebra Star produced her best effort for a while last time and is potentially well treated if able to build on that.

The suggestion is ZEBRA STAR, who did well to snatch third over C&D last week after being forced very wide around the final turn.

1	1 1st (1) (6.5/1 -30%) Sid's Annie	6.5 6.5/1(-30%)	(1) Sid's Annie 6.5/1, Quirky sort. 17/2, won 10-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 12 days ago, cosily. Has failed to trouble the judge both previous starts on turf, though, and others make more appeal. Kept on well for narrow AW win this month; might be vulnerable back on turf off 3lb higher.
2	3 2nd (3) (8/1 -23%) Mogwai	8 8/1(-23%)	(3) Mogwai 8/1, 9/2, fourth of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm) 27 days ago. That represented a backward step compared to her encouraging reappearance at Kempton but perhaps this step up in trip will help eke out more. Ex-French filly; ran well on British debut but took backward step last month; up in trip.
3	4 3rd (4) (6.5/1 -18%) Mrs Meader	6.5 6.5/1(-18%)	(4) Mrs Meader 6.5/1, 15/2, respectable third of 7 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, heavy) 47 days ago. Remains 3 lb above last winning mark and she looks vulnerable. Began this season with three very respectable runs but may need a career best here.
4	2 4th (2) (1.38/1 +21%) Bollin Margaret	1.38 1.38/1(+21%)	(2) Bollin Margaret 1.38/1, Latest win at Thirsk in June. 14/1, good third of 10 in handicap at Pontefract (12f, good) 6 days ago. Shortlist material off the same mark. Has remained in good form since her easy 1m4f win in early June and 1m2f also suits.
5th	5 5th (5) (3.5/1 +13%) Queen's Company	3.5 3.5/1(+13%)	(5) Queen's Company 3.5/1, Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm, 7/2) 23 days ago. 4 lb rise tolerable and she has to enter calculations. Came from off the pace to win in pretty good style when upped to 1m2f last month; a player.
6th	8 6th (8) (33/1 +18%) Oot Ma Way	33 33/1(+18%)	(8) Oot Ma Way 33/1, Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap (22/1) at Hamilton (12.1f, good to firm) 10 days ago but she looks up against it from 7 lb out of the weights here. Ran okay at Hamilton recently but looks up against it from out of the weights here.
7th	6 7th (6) (16/1 +36%) Miss Harmony	16 16/1(+36%)	(6) Miss Harmony 16/1, Latest win at Lingfield in March. 33/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Redcar (10f, good to firm) 32 days ago, missing break. Likely to find one or two too good. Has gone off the boil since her small-field AW win in March; others preferred.

LTO Selection:

QUEEN'S COMPANY went in by a length and a half last time at Yarmouth in a class 6 event, for which she now operates off 4lb higher. That rise may not be enough to prevent the four-year-old from going in once more. Bollin Margaret heads the list of dangers in her current mood, as she has been a model of consistency this season, while Sid's Annie can go well if transferring her good all-weather form to the turf.

MOGWAI failed to build on the promise of her British debut when only fourth at Nottingham last month but, with this step up in trip a potentially good move, she is given another chance. The consistent Bollin Margaret is likely to be in the thick of things once again, while Queen's Company is also high on the shortlist having produced a career-best when scoring on her first attempt over this trip at Yarmouth.

Evidently well suited by the step up to 1m2f when winning at Yarmouth last month, QUEEN'S COMPANY is taken to overcome a 4lb rise.

Only respectable fourth of 6 in handicap (15/2) at Goodwood (9.9f, good to firm) 15 days ago but she drops back in class here and holds strong claims. Her progress stalled at Goodwood and she needs to step up again after that run.
2	2 2nd (2) (2.5/1 +58%) Lost In Time	2.5 2.5/1(+58%)	(2) Lost In Time 2.5/1, In reasonable heart without winning in the first half of the year but ran poorly when tenth of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) 8 days ago.

Should be suited by longer trip here so could make more impact from basement mark. Still unexposed but she needs plenty of improvement on this step up to 1m2f.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (28/1 -100%) Global Grandeur	28 28/1(-100%)	(3) Global Grandeur 28/1, Mid-field at best in 3 minor events at Kempton last year from Chris Dwyer, seemingly brought along with handicaps in mind. Market can act as best guide towards expectations. Handicap newcomer but she needs a transformation after a lengthy absence; tongue-tie on.

LTO Selection:

DARK GOLD hasn't done a great deal in his career to date, but he makes his handicap debut and must be taken very seriously for Sir Mark Prescott. An opening mark of 61 looks more than workable and it would be no surprise were he to feature, especially following wind surgery. Last-time-out winner Star Of Epsom is likely to be the biggest danger after scoring over C&D last month, but she may be in the grip of the handicapper, while Pink Lily should also be on the scene.

PINK LILY has done well so far this season, just finding the step up in grade beyond her at Goodwood last time, but she should be more at home in these calmer waters and sets a decent standard with a good claimer aboard. Star of Epsom has a positive C&D record and should make a bold bid to follow up her recent success here, whilst Dark Gold could well be a typical Sir Mark Prescott handicap improver and merits a serious market check.

The vote goes to STAR OF EPSOM, who made it 3-3 over C&D with her strong-finishing win 12 days ago. Dark Gold is feared most.

Debut effort at the same course in April was pretty promising and she has to be taken seriously. Weakened on her second start but her promising debut remains fresh in the mind.
3	7 3rd (7) (5/1 +38%) Okami	5 5/1(+38%)	(7) Okami 5/1, Twice-raced gelding. Ninth of 10 in maiden (17/2) at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) 35 days ago, slowly away. In good hands but he's not particularly appealing on the back of that display. Just a respectable third when warm favourite for debut then down the field on second start.

5th	10 5th (10) (12/1 -140%) Bugle Beads	12 12/1(-140%)	(10) Bugle Beads 12/1, Twice-raced filly. Last of 6 in minor event (13/8) at Carlisle (5.8f, soft) 12 days ago. Probably worth another chance with a hood enlisted here, given her debut promise. Flopped on her second start but can still progress from her promising debut; hood fitted.

Another who will probably be seen in a better light when switched to handicaps. Not disgraced when fourth of six at Ripon recently but improvement required here.
10th	1 10th (1) (33/1 -32%) Extinction	33 33/1(-32%)	(1) Extinction 33/1, Twice-raced gelding. 18/1, sixth of 8 in minor event at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 33 days ago, not knocked about. Probably more one for handicaps in due course. Kept on for third on debut (7f, AW) but subsequent 6f turf run was disappointing.
12th	4 12th (4) (22/1 +78%) Irish Dancer	22 22/1(+78%)	(4) Irish Dancer 22/1, Once-raced gelding. Last of 13 in maiden (18/1) at Thirsk (5f, good) on sole 2-y-o start. Hard to warm to. Last of 13 on last summer's debut (5f, good to soft) and not seen again since.

LTO Selection:

Kokomo attempted to make all of the running last time at Newbury over 7f, but weakened to finish eighth. With that in mind, the drop in distance could prove a positive move. However, the vote goes to KAIDU, who showed much more on his latest outing to fill the runner-up spot over C&D, and the son of Profitable can take this with normal progression. Any market support for 160,000gns purchase Operation Gimcrack should be noted.

Bryan Smart can ready one first time out and saddles an intriguing newcomer here in OPERATION GIMCRACK, who fetched 160,000 gns yearling. This is a realistic starting point and the hint should be taken if the market speaks in his favour. Kaidu left his debut effort well behind when runner-up over C&D and he is feared most ahead of Kokomo and Bugle Beads.

Brian O'Rourke's KOKOMO did not get home after tanking her way through a warm 7f Newbury novice six weeks ago but this race is easier.

4	2 4th (2) (14/1 -300%) Queues Likely	14 14/1(-300%)	(2) Queues Likely 14/1, Massaat filly. Made most of experience when made all in 10-runner maiden at Windsor last time, seeming well suited by the switch to aggressive tactics. Player. Big improvement with her dominant display at Windsor and she's respected under a penalty.
5th	6 5th (6) (25/1 +38%) Talking Rubbish	25 25/1(+38%)	(6) Talking Rubbish 25/1, Foaled February 21. Advertise filly. Closely related to 6f-1¼m winner Readman. Dam, 5f winner (including at 2 yrs), half-sister to useful 2-y-o 6f winner (stayed 1m) Distinctive. Speedily bred but yard wouldn't be associated with juvenile winners. Has a speedy pedigree but this looks a tough starting point and is probably best watched.

LTO Selection:

Graceful Thunder has obvious claims back at this sort of level after finishing down the field in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot 10 days ago. However, the form of her previous Sandown success has taken a few subsequent knocks and she may be worth taking on with QUEUES LIKELY. She got off the mark at the third attempt at Windsor and the daughter of Massaat appears to have further improvement to come. Dapperling has shown consistency and is next on the shortlist.

A decent novice contest, with DAPPERLING taken to get off the mark at the fifth attempt having shown a fair level of form in defeat at Bath on her last 2 outings. Graceful Thunder found Royal Ascot too much of an ask but could build on her debut success back in more realistic company, with Windsor maiden winner Queues Likely also meriting plenty of respect.

George Boughey's GRACEFUL THUNDER ran well for a long way in the Queen Mary last week and gets the vote back in much calmer waters.

Not discounted for all the she looks vulnerable to anything above average. Improved form when close third at Lingfield (7f, AW) recently; leading contender here.
4	7 4th (7) (5.5/1 +27%) China Trade	5.5 5.5/1(+27%)	(7) China Trade 5.5/1, Foaled May 16. Belardo filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart winner up to 7f Misty Grey and useful winner up to 13f The Trader. 6/1, fifth of 11 in maiden at Haydock (6f, good) on debut 36 days ago. Open to improvement. Out of a Group 1 winner; kept on for respectable fifth on Haydock debut; can improve.
5th	11 5th (11) (4.5/1 +55%) Tiora	4.5 4.5/1(+55%)	(11) Tiora 4.5/1, Twice-raced filly. Third of 13 in maiden at Leicester (7f, good to firm, 9/1) 14 days ago. May yet do better. Kept on well for third at Leicester a fortnight ago and further progress is possible.
7th	6 7th (6) (28/1 +15%) Carnaby Princess	28 28/1(+15%)	(6) Carnaby Princess 28/1, Once-raced filly. 33/1, fifth of 13 in minor event at Ripon (6f, good to firm) on debut 9 days ago, having to pick way through. Should have more to offer at some point. Kept on into midfield on recent Ripon debut (6f); more will be needed here.
8th	5 8th (5) (12/1 +70%) Wit's End	12 12/1(+70%)	(5) Wit's End 12/1, Once-raced filly. 10/1, tenth of 15 in maiden at Newbury (6f, firm) on debut 24 days ago. Hard to fancy. Has a nice pedigree but was always behind on last month's debut at Newbury (6f).
9th	3 9th (3) (3.5/1 -27%) She Wore No Jewels	3.5 3.5/1(-27%)	(3) She Wore No Jewels 3.5/1, Promising type. 11/2, third of 10 in maiden at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) on debut 15 days ago. Should improve and worth chancing to open her account at the second attempt. Kept on well for third on debut at Goodwood; ought to be in the thick of things here.

LTO Selection:

Tokyo Dreamer sets a solid standard with a rating of 70 and she ran well to finish third at Lingfield over this trip, so she is likely to be on the premises once more. It could be worth siding with SHE WORE NO JEWELS, who showed plenty of promise on debut to hit the frame at Goodwood over 6f and could improve for this step up in trip. Alshinfarah is related to Group 2 winner Raabihah and she warrants a market check.

SHE WORE NO JEWELS shaped well amidst greenness when third at Goodwood on debut and, with improvement likely, he gets the nod ahead of Alshinfarah, who looks a notable newcomer for an excellent stable. China Trade also has potential.

Clive Cox's SHE WORE NO JEWELS shaped as though today's extra furlong will be in her favour when third on her Goodwood debut.

1	1 1st (1) (6.5/1 +68%) Eeh Bah Gum	6.5 6.5/1(+68%)	(1) Eeh Bah Gum 6.5/1, After 7 months off (had another wind op), probably needed the run on first start since leaving Kevin Ryan when last of 9 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good, 33/1) 47 days ago. Has since left Ann Duffield. Three 5f wins in 2022; way back for new yard in May; had another stable switch since.
2	5 2nd (5) (10/1 -25%) Dream By Day	10 10/1(-25%)	(5) Dream By Day 10/1, Failed to come on for recent run when last of 7 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, heavy, 7/1) 47 days ago. Others make more appeal. Both wins at 5f on soft; no great impact this year but at least he's well treated again.
3	6 3rd (6) (1.38/1 +66%) Song Of Success	1.38 1.38/1(+66%)	(6) Song Of Success 1.38/1, Ran to similar level as on return when fifth of 6 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good to firm, 13/2) 22 days ago. Remains early days for current yard so could still have more to offer back down in trip. Front-running win at 6f as 2yo; has 5f handicap form on AW; worth another go at trip.
4	3 4th (3) (2.75/1 +21%) Harb	2.75 2.75/1(+21%)	(3) Harb 2.75/1, Below form when sixth of 9 in handicap at Sandown (5f, good to firm, 12/1) 15 days ago, though drawn widest. Capable of getting involved having dropped to 3 lb below his last winning mark. 0-9 on turf but is well treated and the return to a sharp 5f on fast ground will suit.
5th	2 5th (2) (12/1 +14%) Jack's Point	12 12/1(+14%)	(2) Jack's Point 12/1, Has struggled for form this year, last of 9 in handicap at Newbury (6f, firm, 50/1) 16 days ago. First-time visor needs to spark a revival. Latest win over 6f on AW here; below best for new yard but down weights in easier company.
6th	7 6th (7) (5.5/1 +31%) Lady Jane Grey	5.5 5.5/1(+31%)	(7) Lady Jane Grey 5.5/1, C&D winner on debut. Below form both starts this season, in first-time hood when sixth of 7 in handicap at Leicester (5f, good to firm, 6/1) 14 days ago. Needs to get back on track returned to this venue. C&D winner on 2yo debut; faded on stiff tracks in 2023; return to sharp test can suit.

LTO Selection:

REGAL ENVOY arrives on the back of a solid effort when second to an in-form rival at Bath on Wednesday and he has every chance of going one place better, despite a quick turnaround. Eeh Bah Gum is dangerous to underestimate on his debut for Ivan Furtado, while Harb is a speedy individual that looks a prime candidate for setting a solid tempo. Any support in the betting for Song Of Success would also be noteworthy.

Having dropped in the weights, REGAL ENVOY produced his best effort of the season when runner-up at Bath 3 days ago and he can go one better turned out again quickly. Song of Success could be the biggest threat making only her third start for her current yard, with Harb the pick of the remainder.

Regal Envoy and Song Of Success can go well but HARB can return to top form under conditions that suit.

2	2 2nd (2) (4/1 +33%) Mudamer	4 4/1(+33%)	(2) Mudamer 4/1, Creditable third of 6 in handicap at Redcar (7f, good to firm, 5/2) 7 days ago. Stepping back in the right direction and looks worthy of respect from an appealing mark. Third of six off this mark at Redcar last Saturday and could again be thereabouts.
3	6 3rd (6) (18/1 +18%) Outrun The Storm	18 18/1(+18%)	(6) Outrun The Storm 18/1, 13/2, last of 8 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Now below last winning mark but not threatening to defy it. He's well handicapped on last summer's 7f form but has struggled on both starts this year.
4	4 4th (4) (7/1 -40%) Snash	7 7/1(-40%)	(4) Snash 7/1, 14/1, creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at York (7f, good to firm) 14 days ago, sticking to task. Visor on 1st time. Expected to be bang there. Encouraging fourth off reduced mark at York a fortnight ago and he could be involved.
5th	3 5th (3) (5/1 -25%) Riot	5 5/1(-25%)	(3) Riot 5/1, Latest win at Chelmsford City in May. Respectable third of 16 in handicap (7/1) at York (7f, good to firm) 15 days ago, running on. Likely to be on the premises again. Third of 16 at York last time; this is less competitive and he's a player.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (1.1/1 +0%) Solar Orbiter	1.1 1.1/1(+0%)	(1) Solar Orbiter 1.1/1, Impressive winner of first two starts. Second of 10 in handicap at Kempton (7f, evens) 38 days ago, no match for winner. Remains a useful prospect and should regain the winning thread if fully effective on turf. Won last September on first two runs & good second on return; open to further improvement.

LTO Selection:

SOLAR ORBITER may just have needed his first run of the season when runner-up at Kempton in May and Roger Varian's colt is expected to improve from that display making his debut on turf. Snash ran with credit to finish fourth at York on his latest effort and is capable of a decent showing in a first-time visor, while Riot and Mudamer complete the shortlist.

SOLAR ORBITER looked a good prospect in winning his first two starts and didn't lose much in defeat when runner-up on handicap debut at Kempton last time. He's fancied to resume progress and score at the likely expense of Mudamer, who is well handicapped and showing positive signs for his new stable. Snash is another one to consider.

The very lightly raced 4yo SOLAR ORBITER is open to further improvement for Roger Varian and is taken to make it 3-4.

However, not in the same form when sixth of 8 in handicap (5/2) at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Just lost out on return to turf (extended 7f) here this month but had off day since.
6th	8 6th (8) (7/1 +13%) Essme	7 7/1(+13%)	(8) Essme 7/1, Sole success came at this C&D last May. Again ran well when third of 8 in handicap (2/1) also at this C&D (good to firm) 7 days ago. Can give another good account with cheekpieces on 1st time. C&D winner; pressed well in third back here this month; not sustain effort here last week.
7th	7 7th (7) (33/1 -65%) Kodi Noir	33 33/1(-65%)	(7) Kodi Noir 33/1, Down the field all 3 starts this year, in first-time visor when last of 9 in handicap at this course (6f, AW, 50/1) 12 days ago. Continues to fall in the weights without looking like taking advantage. Won 6f maiden in Ireland as 2yo; not had much luck in handicaps at up to 7f so far.
8th	4 8th (4) (10/1 +29%) Ajrad	10 10/1(+29%)	(4) Ajrad 10/1, Not discredited when fourth of 7 in handicap (9/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 32 days ago. Has now dropped below his last winning mark, but needs to step up on what he's shown so far this year. Dual 7f winner for this yard in 2022; just below latest winning mark; has good run in him.

LTO Selection:

INVERINATE wasn't beaten far over C&D on his penultimate start and improved to break the maiden at Chelmsford last time out. A 3lb rise for that success could prove lenient and he gets the vote ahead of Amathus, who had Major Gatsby (second) narrowly behind over C&D on his most recent effort. Essme and Nibras Rainbow are entitled to be thereabouts as well.

Having finished runner-up over C&D at the beginning of June, INVERINATE opened his account at Chelmsford 5 days later and he can follow up with more still to offer. He can see off the challenge of a pair of C&D winners, with Amathus successful 19 days ago and Essme arriving on the back of placed efforts here on her last 2 starts.

Ajrad is respected but INVERINATE (nap) is the one who looks to have the most improvement in him after his recent AW win.

4	7 4th (7) (6/1 +25%) Mattice	6 6/1(+25%)	(7) Mattice 6/1, Course winner. Best effort of the season when 1½ lengths fourth of 17 to Good Earth in handicap (7/1) at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Task is now to build on his latest run back up in trip. Course winner; on a fair mark and clear signs of a revival latest; one to take seriously.

Leading contender. Fine runs in big-field sprints the last twice; up 5lb but should give it another good go.
6th	8 6th (8) (6/1 -9%) Treacherous	6 6/1(-9%)	(8) Treacherous 6/1, Scored at Newbury on his third start of the season. After just 4 days off, ran well under a penalty when fifth of 9 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 7/2) 12 days ago. Can give another good account. Narrow Newbury win last month and also ran creditably latest; each-way claims.

Remains early days for his current stable, though, with cheekpieces now applied. Promising second at Yarmouth last month; less good next time; new headgear today.
10th	6 10th (6) (28/1 +58%) Barbill	28 28/1(+58%)	(6) Barbill 28/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2020. Finished well held both starts last year, last of 14 in handicap at this C&D (good, 40/1) when last seen in September. Best watched after 9 months off. Finished last in two runs for this yard last year; lots to prove after a ten-month layoff.

LTO Selection:

TREACHEROUS scored on his penultimate outing at Newbury and wasn't disgraced when trying to back that performance up under a penalty at Windsor four days later. Mark Winn's 3lb claim on this occasion is likely to aid his cause and the nine-year-old gets the vote. Good Earth arrives in decent form and enters calculations, along with As If By Chance and Mattice.

GOOD EARTH has worked his way back to top form this year, beaten only by an improving type at York a fortnight ago, and he can resume winning ways in his current mood. The main danger could be Fantasy Maker, who can leave his latest run behind returned to less testing conditions, while Treacherous also merits consideration back down in grade.

Ghathanfar has been hinting that his turn is near but MATTICE shaped nicely at Beverley and can gain a second course success.

7th	5 7th (5) (14/1 -56%) Savannah Smiles	14 14/1(-56%)	(5) Savannah Smiles 14/1, Successful at this course (6f, AW) in June. First run since leaving Tom Ward when fifth of 6 in handicap (25/1) at Chepstow (6.1f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Needs to transfer her all-weather form on to turf. Won on AW last month but was well held back on turf on her stable debut two weeks ago.
8th	3 8th (3) (12/1 -140%) Desert Illusion	12 12/1(-140%)	(3) Desert Illusion 12/1, In first-time visor, run best excused when ninth of 10 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm, 11/1) 5 days ago, bumped start. Had been in good form previously, so she can bounce back to get off the mark. Inconsistent ten-race maiden and she comes with risks attached back up in trip.

LTO Selection:

Narrowly denied over further here last time out, SAN FRANCISCO BAY should be ideally suited to the drop in trip and Laura Coughlan's 3lb claim is another plus as he looks to make it two wins in his last three starts. Spirit Of Breeze is a key player for the in-form Gary Moore team, while Senor Pockets is another to consider off a dropping handicap mark.

DESERT ILLUSION is better judged on her previous placed efforts having been bumped at the start at Windsor 5 days ago, so she can resume her progress to get off the mark this time around. San Francisco Bay arrives in good form and is feared most with cheekpieces now applied, while Spirit of Breeze also merits consideration.

This can go to SAN FRANCISCO BAY, who went close in his bid for a double here last week and is a big player again on this drop to 6f.

Progressive over 6f on AW this year, winning twice; tries a new trip here.
5th	3 5th (3) (16/1 +52%) Pocket The Packet	16 16/1(+52%)	(3) Pocket The Packet 16/1, Latest win at Lingfield in January. 100/1, fourth of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, firm) 24 days ago. Evidence suggests that he's more of a force on the AW. Five AW wins last autumn/winter but hasn't fired on turf for new stable this spring.
6th	8 6th (8) (8/1 +33%) New Tycoon	8 8/1(+33%)	(8) New Tycoon 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 9 in handicap (7/1) at Ripon (8f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Others preferred. Made low-key seasonal/stable debut last month; needs that run to have brought him on.
7th	5 7th (5) (6.5/1 -44%) Concert Boy	6.5 6.5/1(-44%)	(5) Concert Boy 6.5/1, Winner at Newcastle in May. Good second of 10 in handicap at Haydock (7f, firm, 20/1) 17 days ago. Reproduction of that effort would put him firmly in the picture. AW winner in May and quickly put a poor run behind him when second on turf last month.
8th	9 8th (9) (16/1 +36%) Brother Sebastian	16 16/1(+36%)	(9) Brother Sebastian 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 25/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good) 10 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Some of these boast more compelling credentials. Safely held in two 6f handicaps this spring; improvement needed over new trip here.
9th	7 9th (7) (33/1 +18%) Tipp Town	33 33/1(+18%)	(7) Tipp Town 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Last of 7 in maiden at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm, 9/1) 31 days ago. Needs to raise his game now taking a step down the handicap route. Made promising 2yo debut but well beaten twice since; has a point to prove on h'cap debut.

LTO Selection:

DESERT VOICE progressed from her debut effort when getting off the mark at Yarmouth and the daughter of Invincible Spirit warrants plenty of respect on her handicap bow. Northern Spirit has been a model of consistency in recent months and the return to a flatter track after his recent third at Yarmouth can only benefit him. Others to note are Roaring Ralph and Concert Boy.

It probably wasn't the strongest of maidens that DESERT VOICE landed at Yarmouth recently but she did the job well enough to suggest that this opening mark should be within her reach, particularly with further progress on the cards. Concert Boy bounced back from his York no-show when hitting the crossbar at Haydock and he is accorded respect, along with Northern Spirit and Roaring Ralph.

The only filly in the field, DESERT VOICE (nap), displayed a good turn of foot inside the final furlong to assert at Yarmouth in June.

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.
